From History of Essex County Volume 2 edited by Duane Hamilton Hurd
Lieutenant Adolphus Washington Greely a native of the city followed by the public reception which was accorded him. As heroic and daring as were the deeds of the sons of Newburyport during the Revolution and the War of 1842 none exceeded the exploits of this young man who illustrated by his patience his fidelity his indomitable courage in the frozen regions of the North the lines of the poet that Peace hath her victories No less renowned than war It is doubtful whether in all the trying scenes through which our country has passed of fire and battle and flood the hearts of the American people have been touched by a tenderer sympathy or a sweeter joy than the discovery of that little band heroic men of which he was the devoted leader their gallant rescue excited.
Adolphus Washington Greely was born in Newburyport March 27 1844.
His early education obtained at the public schools Though fond study and ambitious to receive a collegiate education he was precluded from his wished for career by circumstances which it was impossible for him to control and at the age of seventeen he entered as clerk jewelry store of Fairbanks & Paul in his native city and seemed likely to pursue the devious and uncertain path of a business life.
Six months later however war broke out and among the volunteers for years service he was one of the earliest to his name He enlisted as private in the Byfield Rangers who were afterwards assigned as Company B to the Nineteenth Regiment of Massachusetts Volunteers under the command of Colonel Edward W Hincks.
Having speedily reached the position orderly sergeant he felt that he was worthy of a commission He was as brave as the bravest and never thought of danger in the performance of his duty Though immersed in the surroundings of war life it is significant both of his literary taste and utter fearlessness that on one occasion when going into a battle he was more concerned about the fate a scrap cut from a newspaper laid aside to be read than about the dangers of the contest which he was about to enter.......

Melissa, my great great grandfather, Joseph Oliver Stearns wrote in his journal on Monday August 4, 1844... "Greely reception at Portsmouth". Then on August 14, 1884..."Greely Day at Newburyport. Willie & I walk'd down in morning, and walk'd back at night. A great day for N Port, the largest crowd of people ever in the City. Arrived at the Mills about 10 P.M." I was looking up information on Greely and ran into your article! I should have known you already knew about Greely. Great article!

The Schley rescue team consisted of, at least, one cousin of Greely.

Tucker Carlson Says Pelosi 'Knows' Who is Behind Jan. 6 Capitol Riot but Stays Silent
During his Wednesday's opening monologue, Fox News host Tucker Carlson alleged that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi "knows why" the Capitol breach happened on Jan. 6 but doesn't say anything.
After recounting that the House of Representatives sergeant-at-arms rejected the requests from the Capitol Police to deploy National Guard troops days before the incident, the host said that these concerns were borne out with the mobbing of the Capitol Building.
Carlson said that despite being the most discussed incident in modern U.S. history, more than 6 months later, the people still do not know why it took place. He said no explanation was offered for it.
The Fox News host then added that "Nancy Pelosi knows why it happened. She could tell us why it happened if she felt like it."
EDITOR'S SPECIAL OFFER: Sleepy Joe Biden Urges Americans to Mask Indoors as Omicron Variant Looms
"The Sergeant-at-Arms reports directly to Nancy Pelosi. She is the Speaker of the House, and yet repeatedly, Pelosi has worked to stop any inquiry whatsoever into the state of security at the Capitol on January 6," Carlson added.
Carlson then noted that the day after the incident, Pelosi forced Steven Sund, the then-Chief of the Capitol Police, to resign.
"What exactly is going on here? Congress's new January 6 Committee was supposed to tell us what is going on here. Figuring out what happened that day was the whole point of having the committee," he went on to say.
"We've heard that again and again."
Carlson then went on to note that Pelosi seems to have no intention of telling the people what she knows. He then alleged that the House Speaker is using the Jan. 6 committee as a cover-up.
"Today, Pelosi banned two Republican Members of Congress from serving on the Committee. They are Jim Jordan of Ohio and Jim Banks of Indiana," he then noted. "What did they do wrong? Those two specifically seem most likely to ask questions about January 6 that Pelosi did not want to discuss. They pushed for openness, so she booted them."
Carlson Alleges that Pelosi Created a Committee as a Cover-Up the Truth About the Capitol Siege
Carlson then played clips of a time when Pelosi snapped at a reporter who asked about why she removed the two Republican lawmakers. He also played a clip of Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D-Va.) who said that anyone serving on the committee needs loyalty to the country first and has "fidelity."
He then noted that there are many things that people still don't know.
Later on, the Fox News host accused the house speaker of starting a committee that would only produce findings that support a pre-made narrative to hide the truth.
Carlson said: "January 6 is being used as a pretext to strip millions of disfavored Americans of their core constitutional rights. We are witnessing the most aggressive crackdown on civil liberties in our lifetime. That is not an exaggeration.
"Yet thanks to Nancy Pelosi, the January 6 Committee will now operate the way she would like America to operate, as a one-party state," he went on to say.

September Preview Week: Outlying Art Events You Need To See
by Whitney Kimball on September 6, 2012 Events
Though there's too much to possibly visit in Chelsea alone, at least a few events in Brooklyn, Soho, and Uptown should make your must-see list. Creative Time's sent some art to space, the Brooklyn Museum is organizing hundreds of open studios across the borough, and at least one event requires 3-D glasses. Here are a few other reasons to venture out, too:
It'll Be Fun, and It's TONIGHT
Opening: RED LEFT BLUE RIGHT
Picture Farm, 338 Wythe Ave, Brooklyn
Thursday, September 6, 6 – 9 pm
This show by AFC's own designer Phillip Niemeyer of Double Triple looks really fun. Niemeyer's found a surprising variety of artists working in red-blue 3-D, from the trippy neon collage of Tanya Newton-John and the fashion photography of Dan Forbes to Dana McClure's graphic design. Despite the gimmicky feel of 3-D goggles, the mechanics of red-blue 3-D technology is the same sort of optical science that's inspired artists for centuries.
And the event description so far sounds off the hook: 3-D snacks by food stylist Chris Lanier, 3-D cocktails by Rob Kruger of Williamsburg's Extra Fancy, a (2-D?) musical performance by Devin Maxwell, and a 3-D photo booth. Can't go wrong there.
Opening: Patricia Treib: Pieces
Tibor de Nagy Gallery, 724 Fifth Avenue
We like the programming up at Tibor de Nagy Gallery, but we also like their style: No bullshit. Their press release, in its entirety: "Abstract paintings that translate the visual world."
It's Good For the Community, You Jerk.

Opening: Gerhard Richter, Strip Paintings
Marian Goodman Gallery, 24 West 57th St.
September 12, 6 – 8 PM
This sounds like bullshit. Richter's been making Strip paintings, rows of digital stripes derived from colors in his paintings. The press release informs us that these "impos[e] on the painting an extreme vertical fracturing of the space." That is a description of fucking stripes.
Lecture: Trevor Paglen, The Last Pictures
Creative Time at Bryant Park/The New York Public Library
September 19th (time TBA)
Creative Time and artist Trevor Paglen are gearing up for the end of humanity with their latest project, "The Last Pictures." MIT artist-in-residence Paglen has spent the past five years interviewing artists, scientists, anthropologists, and philosophers on what they thought should represent our time. This month, Creative Time will launch a television satellite of the images into space from Kazakhstan. It will broadcast ten trillion images over the course of fifteen years, and then it will die, storing an ultra-archival disc inside, hopefully orbiting the earth for billions and billions of years.
This leads us to wonder things, like the odds that aliens will know what to do with a disc, and who made it into the capsule. Paglen will have to explain himself on September 19th, when he starts his worldwide lecture tour at Bryant Park/The New York Public Library.
If you're wondering why Paglen is the right man for this job, watch him discuss this earlier research project with Steve Colbert.
Opening: John Armleder, Selected Furniture Sculptures 1979–2012
The Swiss Institute, 18 Wooster Street
Wednesday, September 12, 6 to 8PM
Whatever you think of John Armleder's chic minimalism and high-end furniture sculpture, he's been an enormously influential artist. A member of Fluxus, he's of a generation who helped bolster the perception of Switzerland as a leader in contemporary art. Like Franz West, he's also considered an early proponent of furniture-as-art, with a more open embrace of ornamentation-as-readymade. His influence has stuck around; his is a brand we've seen a lot of at the art fairs.
Opening: Kerstin Brätsch
Gavin Brown's Enterprise, 620 Greenwich Street
September 29th, hours TBA
You could say Kerstin Brätsch is post-Armleder. If you're a sucker for expert formalism, check out her solo show at Gavin Brown.

Opening: PETER COFFIN, A, E, I, O, U
Venus Over Manhattan, 980 Madison Ave, 3rd Floor
September 20th, 8 – 10 PM
Venus Over Manhattan isn't much for social niceties. When we went, it was a shell of a gallery with no staff, unfinished walls, a shitty floor, and a press release on a chair somewhere. Since super-wealthy writer and collector Adam Lindemann opened the gallery this spring, though, it's been on fire; it's the sort of space that can make exciting things happen, like the recent group show (the best I've seen all year) in which artists each had to make something of a wall-mounted bulletin board, or the darkly-lit inaugural show that mixed high and low art from all over the place. It's real experimentation, and it's working. Peter Coffin's liberal approach to imagery will do well in this space.

In an article for the RTDNA, former TV news director Forrest Carr refers to this as The Age of Shoddy in journalism. He wrote that instead of fact checking, New Media advocates think it is okay to report rumors and then check for veracity.
Shop Talk panelist Jasmine Crighton said she struggles with these issues as she tries to teach journalism to students. She said many are accustomed to accepting information that's tweeted or posted to Facebook and they fail to make sure something is true before they try reporting it.
Crighton said the problem extends beyond students – she thinks a lot of people in the business are forgetting to confirm information. Crighton thinks the rush to be first hurts journalism.
Rich Egger said it's nice to be first with a story but he questioned whether anyone in the audience really cares. And he wondered if students are being influenced by sports reporting, which at times seems to thrive on the rumor mill.
Rich Moreno said one of his journalism professors had a sign on the wall: Never Assume Anything. He said reporters – both students and professionals – don't seem to follow that principle anymore.
This is the 11th annual Sunshine Week. It was started as a way of promoting the need for open and transparent government. It's observed by journalists and many others who keep tabs on public servants.
In an article on the "Take Part" website, Eric Alterman wrote that public relations is killing journalism. Alterman pointed out there are now 4.6 public relations specialists in America for every one reporter. And those p.r. specialists make considerably more money on average than reporters.
The Baltimore Sun reported new Maryland Governor Larry Hogan's lawyer has urged agency heads and staff to stamp a claim of "executive privilege" -- the civilian equivalent of "top secret" -- on all their internal correspondence, emails and documents.
The FAA is now accepting public comments on its proposed regulations for the commercial use of drones. Interest in the regulation is high among news organizations because drones are considered a potential new tool for reporters. However, it could be a year or more before the regulations are implemented and drones can be used for gathering news.
The McDonough County Health Department told reporters they would need to file a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to obtain information about why the agency temporarily closed a restaurant in Macomb.

Yorkshare has a quiz tool that allows you to create tests to build interactivity into your module and allow students to test their knowledge on a particular topic. You can create self-marking quizzes with question types such as multiple choice and fill in the blanks or you can set quizzes that require longer, typed answers that can be marked by tutors or a mixture of question types.
This is a wealth of material online and in textbooks that advise on how questions should be written. The following links provide a quick-start overview that focus on developing questions for higher-order learning (application, interpretation and evaluation) rather than factual recall.
The Yorkshare test tools allow for time restrictions and forced completion. These settings require a user to complete the test in one sitting and within a specific amount of time. Note that if a student is using assistive technology, such as a screen-reader, or is dyslexic, then these settings may introduce a barrier to their independent participation in the activity. Where possible, do not use these restrictions for the test tool. Time and forced completion should be academically justifiable and with appropriate support provision in place for students who require it.
The same Yorkshare test tools have been used for controlled summative assessments in the Department of Education, with exams being taken in a 'locked down' version of the VLE with many of the questions set up with automated marking to reduce the turnaround time between the original assessment and feedback being released to students. See Section 6.6 of the TEL Handbook to learn more.

March 9, 2018: ST. FRANCES OF ROME
March 9, 2018: ST. FRANCES OF ROME, WIDOW
Rank: Double
[Foundress of the Collatines]
"She hath opened her mouth to wisdom, and the law of clemency is on her tongue. She hath looked well to the paths of her house, and hath not eaten her bread idle. Her children rose up, and called her blessed: her husband, and he praised her. Many daughters have gathered together riches: thou hast surpassed them all."
(Prov, xxxi. 26-29)
Prayer (Collect).
O God, who, among other privileges of thy grace, didst honor blessed Frances, thy handmaid, with the familiar company of an angel; grant, we beseech thee, by her prayers, that we may be admitted into the company of the Angels. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. Amen.
The period intervening between the Purification of our Blessed Lady and Ash-Wednesday (when it occurs at its latest date), gives us thirty-six days; and these offer us a Feast of every order of Saint. The Apostles have given us St. Matthias, and St. Peter's Chair at Antioch; the Martyrs have sent us, from their countless choir, Simeon, Blase, Valentine, Faustinus and Jovita, Perpetua and Felicitas, and the Forty Soldiers of Sebaste, whose Feast is kept to-morrow; the holy Pontiffs have been represented by Andrew Corsini, and Peter Damian, who, together with Thomas of Aquin, is one of the Doctors of the Church; the Confessors have produced Romuald of Camaldoli, John of Matha, John of God, and the angelic prince Casimir; the Virgins have gladdened us with the presence of Agatha, Dorothy, Apollonia, and Scholastica, three wreathed with the red roses of martyrdom, and the fourth with her fair lilies of the enclosed garden (Cant, iv. 12) of her Spouse; and lastly, we have had a Penitent-Saint, Margarite of Cortona. The state of Christian marriage is the only one that has not yet deputed a Saint during this season which is the least rich in Feasts of the whole year. The deficiency is supplied to-day, by the admirable Frances of Rome.
Having, for forty years, led a most saintly life in the married state, upon which she entered when but twelve years of age, Frances retired from the world, where she had endured every sort of tribulation. But she had given her heart to her God long before she withdrew to the Cloister. Her whole life had been spent in the exercise of the highest Christian perfection, and she had ever received from our Lord the sublimest spiritual favours. Her amiable disposition had won for her the love and admiration of her husband and children: the rich venerated her as their model, the poor respected her as their devoted benefactress and mother.
God recompensed her angelic virtues, by these two special graces: the almost uninterrupted sight of her Guardian Angel, and the receiving most sublime revelations. But there is one trait of her life, which is particularly striking, and reminds us forcibly of St. Elizabeth of Hungary, and of St. Jane Frances Chantal:—her austere practices of penance. Such an innocent, and yet such a mortified life, is full of instruction for us. How can we think of murmuring against the obligation of mortification, when we find a saint like this practising it during her whole life? True, we are not bound to imitate her in the manner of her penance; but penance we must do, if we would confidently approach that God, who readily pardons the sinner when he repents, but whose justice requires atonement and satisfaction.
The Church thus describes the life, virtues, and miracles of St. Frances.
Frances, a noble lady of Rome, led a most virtuous life, even in her earliest years. She despised all childish amusements, and worldly pleasures, her only delight being solitude and prayer. When eleven years old, she resolved on consecrating her virginity to God, and seeking admission into a Monastery. But she humbly yielded to the wishes of her parents, and married a young and rich nobleman, by name Lorenzo Ponziani. As far as it was possible, she observed, in the married state, the austerities of the most perfect life to which she had aspired. She carefully shunned theatrical entertainments, banquets, and other such amusements. Her dress was of serge, and extremely plain. Whatever time remained after she had fulfilled her domestic duties was spent in prayer and works of charity. But her zeal was mainly exercised in endeavouring to persuade the ladies of Rome, to shun the world, and vanity in dress. It was with a view to this that she founded, during her husband's life, the House of Oblates of the Congregation of Monte-Oliveto, under the Rule of St. Benedict. She bore her husband's banishment, the loss of all her goods, and the trouble which befel her whole family, not only with heroic patience, but was frequently heard to give thanks, saying with holy Job: "The Lord hath given, and the Lord hath taken away: blessed be the name of the Lord!"
At the death of her husband, she fled to the aforesaid House of Oblates, and there, barefooted, with a rope tied round her neck, and prostrate on the ground, she humbly, and with many tears, begged admission. Her petition being granted, she, though mother of the whole community, gloried in calling herself everyone's servant, and a worthless woman, and a vessel of dishonour. She evinced the contempt she had for herself by her conduct, as well as by her expressions. Thus, when returning from a vineyard in the suburbs, she would go through the city, sometimes carrying faggots on her head, sometimes driving an ass laden with them. She looked after, and bestowed abundant alms upon the poor. She visited the sick in the hospitals, and consoled them, not only with corporal food, but with spiritual advice. She was untiring in her endeavours to bring her body into subjection, by watchings, fasting, wearing a hair shirt and an iron girdle, and by frequent disciplines. Her food, which she took but once in the day, consisted of herbs and pulse, and her only drink was water. But she would somewhat relent in these corporal austerities, as often as she was requested to do so by her confessor, whom she obeyed with the utmost exactitude.
Her contemplation of the divine mysteries, and especially of the Passion, was made with such intense fervour and abundance of tears, that she seemed as though she would die with grief. Frequently, too, when she was praying, and above all after Holy Communion, she would remain motionless, with her soul fixed on God, and rapt in heavenly contemplation. The enemy of mankind seeing this, endeavoured to frighten her out of so holy a life, by insults and blows; but she feared him not, invariably baffled his attempts, and, by the assistance of her Angel Guardian, whose visible presence was granted to her, she gained a glorious victory. God favoured her with the gift of healing the sick, as also with that of prophecy, whereby she foretold future events, and could read the secrets of hearts. More than once, when she was intent on prayer, either in the bed of a torrent, or during a storm of rain, she was not touched by the water. On one occasion, when all the bread they had was scarcely enough to provide a meal for three of the sisters, she besought our Lord, and he multiplied the bread; so that after fifteen persons had eaten as much as they needed, there was sufficient left to fill a basket. At another time, when the sisters were gathering wood outside the City walls, in the month of January, she amply quenched their thirst by offering them bunches of fresh grapes, which she plucked from a vine, and which she had miraculously obtained. Her virtues and miracles procured for her the greatest veneration from all. Our Lord called her to himself in the fifty-sixth year of her age, and she was canonised by Pope Paul the Fifth.
Life of St. Frances of Rome
A.D. 1440
St. Frances was born at Rome in 1384. Her parents, Paul de Buxo and Jacobella Rofredeschi, were both of illustrious families. She imbibed early sentiments of piety, and such was her love of purity from her tender age, that she would not suffer her own father to touch even her hands, unless covered. She had always an aversion to the amusements of children, and loved solitude and prayer. At eleven years of age she desired to enter a monastery, but, in obedience to her parents, was married to a rich young Roman nobleman, named Laurence Ponzani, in 1396. A grievous sickness showed how disagreeable this kind of life was to her inclinations. She joined with it her former spirit; kept herself as retired as she could, shunning feastings and public meetings. All her delight was in prayer, meditation, and visiting churches. Above all, her obedience and condescension to her husband was inimitable, which engaged such a return of affection, that for forty years which they lived together, there never happened the least disagreement; and their whole life was a constant strife and emulation to prevent each other in mutual complaisance and respect. While she was at her prayers or other exercises, if called away by her husband, or the meanest person of her family, she laid all aside to obey without delay, saying: "A married woman must, when called upon, quit her devotions to God at the altar, to find him in her household affairs." God was pleased to show her the merit of this her obedience; for the authors of her life relate, that being called away four times in beginning the same verse of a psalm in our Lady's office, returning the fifth time, she found that verse written in golden letters. She treated her domestics not as servants, but as brothers and sisters, and future co-heirs in heaven; and studied by all means in her power to induce them seriously to labor for their salvation. Her mortifications were extraordinary, especially when, some years before her husband's death, she was permitted by him to inflict on her body what hardships she pleased. She from that time abstained from wine, fish, and dainty meats, with a total abstinence from flesh, unless in her greatest sicknesses. Her ordinary diet was hard and mouldy bread. She would procure secretly, out of the pouches of the beggars, their dry crusts in exchange for better bread. When she fared the best, she only added to bread a few unsavory herbs without oil, and drank nothing but water, making use of a human skull for her cup. She ate but once a day, and by long abstinence had lost all relish of what she took. Her garments were of coarse serge, and she never wore linen, not even in sickness. Her discipline was armed with rowels and sharp points. She wore continually a hair shirt, and a girdle of horse-hair. An iron girdle had so galled her flesh, that her confessor obliged her to lay it aside. If she inadvertently chanced to offend God in the least, she severely that instant punished the part that had offended; as the tongue, by sharply biting it, &c. Her example was of such edification, that many Roman ladies having renounced a life of idleness, pomp, and softness, joined her in pious exercises, and put themselves under the direction of the Benedictin monks of the congregation of Monte-Oliveto, without leaving the world, making vows, or wearing any particular habit. St. Frances prayed only for children that they might be citizens of heaven, and when she was blessed with them, it was her whole care to make them saints.
It pleased God, for her sanctification, to make trial of her virtue by many afflictions. During the troubles which ensued upon the invasion of Rome by Ladislas, king of Naples, and the great schism under antipope John XXIII at the time of opening the council of Constance, in 1413, her husband, with his brother-in-law Paulucci, was banished Rome, his estate confiscated, his house pulled down, and his eldest son, John Baptist, detained a hostage. Her soul remained calm amidst all those storms: she said with Job: "God hath given, and God hath taken away. I rejoice in these losses, because they are God's will. Whatever he sends I shall continually bless and praise his name for." The schism being extinguished by the council of Constance, and tranquillity restored at Rome, her husband recovered his dignity and estate. Some time after, moved by the great favors St. Frances received from heaven, and by her eminent virtue, he gave her full leave to live as she pleased; and he himself chose to serve God in a state of continency. He permitted her in his own lifetime to found a monastery of nuns, called Oblates, for the reception of such of her own sex as were disposed to embrace a religious life. The foundation of this house was in 1425. She gave them the rule of St. Benedict, adding some particular constitutions of her own, and put them under the direction of the congregation of the Olivetans. The house being too small for the numbers that fled to this sanctuary from the corruption of the world, she would gladly have removed her community to a larger house; but not finding one suitable, she enlarged it, in 1433, from which year the founding of the Order is dated. It was approved by pope Eugenius IV in 1437. They are called Collatines, perhaps from the quarter of Rome in which they are situated; and Oblates, because they call their profession an oblation, and use in it the word offero, not profiteor. St. Frances could not yet join her new family; but as soon as she had settled her domestic affairs, after the death of her husband, she went barefoot, with a cord about her neck, to the monastery which she had founded, and there, prostrate on the ground, before the religious, her spiritual children, begged to be admitted. She accordingly took the habit on St. Benedict's day, in 1437. She always sought the meanest employments in the house, being fully persuaded she was of all the most contemptible before God; and she labored to appear as mean in the eyes of the world as she was in her own. She continued the same humiliations, and the same universal poverty, though soon after chosen superioress of her congregation. Almighty God bestowed on her humility, extraordinary graces, and supernatural favors, as frequent visions, raptures, and the gift of prophecy. She enjoyed the familiar conversation of her angel-guardian, as her life and the process of her canonization attest. She was extremely affected by meditating on our Saviour's passion, which she had always present to her mind. At mass she was so absorbed in God as to seem immoveable, especially after holy communion: she often fell into ecstasies of love and devotion. She was particularly devout to St. John the Evangelist, and above all to our Lady, under whose singular protection she put her Order. Going out to see her son John Baptist, who was dangerously sick, she fell so ill herself that she could not return to her monastery at night. After having foretold her death, and received the sacraments, she expired on the 9th of March, in the year 1440, and of her age the fifty-sixth. God attested her sanctity by miracles: she was honored among the saints immediately after her death, and solemnly canonized by Paul V in 1608. Her shrine in Rome is most magnificent and rich: and her festival [was] kept as a holyday in the city, with great solemnity. The Oblates make no solemn vows, only a promise of obedience to the mother-president, enjoy pensions, inherit estates, and go abroad with leave. Their abbey in Rome [was] filled with ladies of the first rank.
In a religious life, in which a regular distribution of holy employments and duties takes up the whole day, and leaves no interstices of time for idleness, sloth, or the world, hours pass in these exercises with the rapidity of moments, and moments by fervor of the desires bear the value of years. There is not an instant in which a soul is not employed for God, and studies not with her whole heart to please him. Every step, every thought and desire, is a sacrifice of fidelity, obedience, and love offered to him. Even meals, recreation, and rest, are sanctified by this intention; and from the religious vows and habitual purpose of the soul of consecrating herself entirely to God in time and eternity, every action, as St. Thomas teaches, renews and contains the fervor and merit of this entire consecration, of which it is a part. In a secular life, a person by regularity in the employment of his time, and fervor in devoting himself to God in all his actions and designs, may in some degree enjoy the same happiness and advantage. This St. Frances perfectly practised, even before she renounced the world. She lived forty years with her husband without ever giving him the least occasion of offence; and by the fervor with which she conversed of heaven, she seemed already to have quitted the earth, and to have made paradise her ordinary dwelling.

Heart is an organ that is made up of collection of muscles which help to pump filtered blood throughout your body. The body tissues need a constant supply of oxygen that your heart does. The most common cause of heart diseases is when coronary arteries bare blocked which is the main source of supplying blood and oxygen. If you have any heart problem or worried about it, eating one or two fishes in a week could reduce your risk of dying by heart attack. Fish is a great source of omega3 fatty acid which is good for your heart and it helps to build brain cells as well as stimulates other important functions of the body. Your body does not make omega 3 fatty acid on its own. You need to get them from your diet and certain fishes are the best source of omega-3s. However, new recent studies suggest that other nutrients in fish and a combination of omega 3 fatty acids may actually be responsible for a healthy heart. In this article, we are going to tell you the brief description of benefits of fish oil for your heart and overall health.
Fish contains unsaturated fatty acid which can lower your cholesterol level. The main nutrients that fish contain are omega 3 fatty acids which has numerous health benefits especially for heart. It is a type of unsaturated fat which may reduce inflammation throughout the body. Inflammation can damage your blood vessels and increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Omega 3 fatty acid can reduce the blood clotting, blood pressure, heart diseases, stroke and irregular heartbeats. Fatty fish such as salmon, lake trout, herring and mackerel contain the most omega 3 fatty acids and therefore the most benefits. Some types of seafood also contain omega 3 fatty acid, you can try them too. Make sure that any fish oil you take is not oxidized. Taking oxidized oil means air got into the oil and it's like eating trans-fatty acid which can cause heart damage. Also avoid liquid fish oil supplements if they are refrigerated. Some fishes like tilapia and catfish are not god for your health because they contain higher level of unhealthy fatty acids. Always remember that fish can be unhealthy depending on how it is prepared such as baking fish is a healthier option than a deep frying one.
Fish also contains vitamin A, vitamin D, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) which are beneficial for your heart. An average diet that we eat everyday contains higher level of omega 6 fatty acid and in order to balance this it is recommended to consume omega 3 fatty acid. Regular intake of omega 3 fatty acid can improve your immune system significantly. If you have a sound immune system, risk of any illness will reduce. It will help your body to fight off with different kind of viruses and infections. You should add omega 3 fatty acid in your diet to stay healthy and fit and no food can beat fish oil in matter of containing omega 3-s.


It came with our Gate One travel package. We booked our Alaska vacation land and sea cruse with Gate One. We very much enjoyed seeing Denali park and Anchorage, AK. prior to our cruise. We boarded the Norwegian Jewel in Seward, AK. The embarkation process went very well. We chose an outside cabin with a balcony; it was an excellent choice. We had excellent meals while on board the Jewel and very much enjoyed eating in the Tsar's Palace. The food, service and ambiance in the restaurant was excellent! We also enjoyed eating breakfast in the Garden Cafe, O'Sheehan's Bar and Grill, and Topsider's Grill. We spent as much time outside on the deck as possible, lying on the chase lounges and enjoying the delicious "Drink of the Day." The Hubbard Glacier was awe-inspiring! We enjoyed the entertainment on several occasions, especially the comedian, Kevin Jordan. We took several shore excursions, especially the Whale Watching in Icy Straight, the White Pass Scenic Railway in Skagway and the Saxman Village tour with their totem poles.

But there are other issues that were not considered, quite possibly because there's just not enough room in a blog.

So often within this consciousness that we share, missed are the small details in life. Hate and fear are traded with reckless abandon while holding oneself righteous and above the pain that is surrounding us. The Namuh are silent observers that have always been and always will. They visit often, curiosity guides them. They interface with our world, observe what is here, the plants, the trees and most importantly the water. What do they see, what do you see? What is in the reflection?
