Global Gold Talks to Vít Jedlička, the President of Liberland
Vít Jedlička is a Czech politician, publicist and activist. He received his Bachelor’s degree from the University of Economics, Prague in 2009 and his Master’s degree from CEVRO Institut in 2014. Since 2009, he has been a member of the Free Citizens Party, where he was elected the first Regional President in the Hradec Králové Region. Vít Jedlička considers himself a libertarian with liberal views on individual freedom and has described himself as a Bastiat-influenced anarcho-capitalist.
The Liberland coat of arms
Jedlička is also a Eurosceptic and highly critical of the European Union as an institution, as well as the general conduct of some of its member states. On 13 April 2015, he founded and proclaimed the Free Republic of Liberland on land between Serbia and Croatia unclaimed by either nation and became its first president.

Claudio Grass Interviews Vít Jedlička
Claudio Grass, Global Gold: Vit, it is a pleasure to have this opportunity to talk to you. Let’s dive right in and start with the topic that made headlines this year: Liberland. Can you tell us when you first envisioned the idea of creating Liberland? Could you explain to us the ideas and events that led you to take this step and how this project came to life?
Vít Jedlička: Most people that come to this world wonder how they can make it a better place. I was no exception. When I started understanding the world at the age of around six, we had the Velvet Revolution in the Czech Republic. Lots of things dramatically changed for the better. That convinced me that things could be improved even more. When I was 13, I read “The Law” by Frédéric Bastiat. This book motivated me to get politically involved and to stand up for more economic freedom in the world. I spent the last five years campaigning in the Czech Republic for lower taxes and less regulation. Our Libertarian party now even has one member in the European Parliament, but to me this simply is not enough. Libertarian and free market concepts are often dismissed, because as the argument goes “they don’t work in the real world”. I created Liberland to create an example of how these concepts can be implemented in reality.
Global Gold: What would you consider the core values that the state of Liberland is built on to be?
Vít Jedlička: Liberland is a model of how a minarchist state built on classical liberal values should look like. We truly believe that governments do more harm than good when they meddle into people’s affairs. In my view, the state should be severely limited to its proper role, which is diplomacy, security and justice. In today’s world, even so-called free market countries such as Switzerland or Singapore have evolved into organisms that are extremely over-regulated.
Global Gold: What would you say to someone that says that declaring Liberland is nothing more than a PR-stunt to position yourself and your political party in the Czech Republic? How high do you think the chances actually are that in ten years time Liberland will have a population, a running state apparatus and be accepted by the international community?
Vít Jedlička: I would strongly disagree; Liberland was never a PR-stunt. Despite its size, we have every intention of turning Liberland into a prosperous free market-oriented country with a solid rule of law. Obviously, I know that this will not happen overnight. We currently have almost 400,000 people interested in citizenship. I have met countless applicants; they are all highly motivated and want to help build Liberland. With this starting position, I am confident that we will be able to build a completely sovereign state built upon libertarian values in the long-term.
In a recent CIA report about Liberland, the chances of Liberland gaining statehood was described as being “higher than zero”. I believe that Liberland is the best chance we have in this century to set up a truly libertarian state. The best way of predicting the future is to actively shape it, so that is my goal with Liberland in the coming years. Regarding acceptance by the international community, I am confident that we are on the right track: Liberland is already widely recognized by the diplomatic community and we are in discussions with many governments regarding the official endorsement of Liberland.
The location of Liberland – it will be a micro-state in terms of its territory, but the EU is apparently already scared of it. What if it turns out that people actually like liberty?

Global Gold: The papers have described Liberland as anti-EU. You’ve established relations with the Swiss SVP and with Nigel Farage from the UKIP party. Can you tell us your main points of criticism regarding the EU?
Vít Jedlička: The philosophy behind Liberland is to set a positive example for other countries and to be allowed to live peacefully. We do not want to fight against anybody nor are we against anybody. We “only” want to set a good example for how a free society can function. So describing Liberland as “anti-EU” is incorrect, however in many ways the ideas behind Liberland are not compatible with large bureaucratic bodies that set minimum taxes and generally tend to over-regulate. In many ways, I am sympathetic with Swiss SVP and UKIP policies. Although we do not want to fight Brussels, we are offering a feasible alternative. We are aware of the fact that whenever new taxes are introduced and further harmful regulation is passed in the EU, that it will lead to more citizenship applications for us.
This cartoon illustrates nicely what scares the eurocrats and the bureaucracies of the surrounding nations about the Liberland idea.
Global Gold: Regarding citizenship applications, how many applications have you received so far? Could you explain to us the criteria of an eligible citizen? In other words, how do you ‘filter’ your citizenship applications?
Vít Jedlička: So far we have exactly 387,397 people who registered on our website, from these applications 75,315 are eligible for citizenship. People are eligible if they don’t have a communist or extremist history, share our national ideology which embraces freedom, and they are actively willing to help us get the country up and running.
Global Gold: As you mention communists, Nazis and other “extremists” are not eligible for citizenship. Would you prohibit or restrict these communities by law if they develop over time? How do you make sure that such legislation is not misused to rid Liberland of persons critical of the government by calling them “extremists”?
Vít Jedlička: Legislation can always be misused and we took that into consideration when drafting the constitution so we have a several safety mechanisms in place. For example: It is extremely difficult to change the constitution, because a change in the constitution requires a unanimous decision by the assembly. With this mechanism we hope the spirit of the republic will last much longer than it did in the US.

Global Gold: What kind of people and companies do you think will call Liberland their home? Are you targeting specific sectors or industries to re-domicile in Liberland?
Vít Jedlička: Several sectors have already voiced their interest. The biggest interest we have received thus far is from IT companies and financial institutions. Due to the absolute freedom of speech that we offer in Liberland, several media companies are interested in relocating to Liberland.
Global Gold: As a libertarian you are likely to have some views that are considered “radical” amongst non-libertarians, such as views on drug laws or arms trafficking. Liberland, however, is not an “island” in Europe, so it is likely that some laws will be enacted so that the international community takes Liberland seriously. As a libertarian head of state (in the real world), how do you define what role of government is to be considered permissible and what not? What regulations and restrictions will there be?
Vít Jedlička: That is not an easy question but what we will do is try to find the right balance between international norms and our own ideology. Of course we will have to make some compromises every now and then. We have no intention of making Liberland a place for drug and weapon trafficking. I also mentioned that financial institutions are interested in Liberland. Although, we strongly oppose the overregulation of the financial industry, we will have anti-money laundering legislation so that we can make sure that Liberland does not turn into a money-laundering hub. All this would hurt our international reputation.
A close-up of Liberland’s location: it is the green patch referred to as “Siga” on the map – neither Croatia nor Serbia claim sovereignty over it, but both are trying – hopefully in vain – to keep Liberland from happening.
Map by Tomobe03
Global Gold: Croatian and Serbian legal experts claim that, under international law, you have no right to claim this land. Which laws are they basing their assessment on, and which laws do you refer to when claiming that you have the right?
Vít Jedlička: I also noticed that the press referred to some experts, who claimed we have no right to claim Liberland. However, they were never mentioned by name and I have never read any of their arguments. Liberland was formed on what was formerly known as Gorna Siga. This area was terra nullius, meaning that no other country claimed sovereignty over this area. We claimed it and declared a new state, which is absolutely legal under international law.
Global Gold: You, your staff and supporters of Liberland were detained by police when trying to reach Liberland. How did the authorities justify this? Will there be a legal challenge from your side? Is it currently possible to visit Liberland?
Vít Jedlička: The court of higher instance remanded a case for another round of appeal to a lower court. We see this as a big victory, since Croatia’s own legal system is starting to recognize that if Croatian police try to prevent people from entering Liberland (or even enter Liberland) that they are operating out of their jurisdiction. We have now also found ways to enter Liberland without any harassment by Croatian police. We are currently organizing everything so we can settle in Liberland comfortably and permanently during the spring, when temperatures are warmer to build permanent establishments in our country.
A design proposal for the future Liberland
Global Gold: How will you protect yourself and your borders against outside harassment, or even worse, aggression? Which institute, organization, or entity will you resort to if your disputes with your neighbors escalate?
Vít Jedlička: We are in the middle of negotiations with a large private security agency that will take active steps to secure our borders in the near future. Securing our borders is a vital aspect for the success of Liberland.

Global Gold: Could you tell us what your short-term, mid-term, and longer-term plans for Liberland are? What are you highest priorities at the moment? When do you expect to hold the first elections?
Vít Jedlička: Currently, our first priority is our architectural competition. We want to show the world how we are going to develop this area to the benefit of all parties involved. We are also very active in diplomacy. Just in the last two days I have met with six ambassadors in Prague and we are organizing a presentation for them next week to explain Liberland and what we are planning. International recognition would be helpful, but it is not as crucial as having good relations with Croatia. Building up our diplomatic and PR presence in Croatia is very important to us. We are still waiting for the results of the power struggle which is happening there now after the election. Another key element is the proper organization of our nation. That is why I am announcing the members of the new government this week and this is also why we are developing an application that will make communication between the government and the people very easy. Our long-term plan is, of course, to build the most libertarian and prosperous country in the world.
What Liberland could look like in the future…

Global Gold: How would you describe the economic road map of Liberland? How would you describe the role of the government in the market?
Vít Jedlička: The government’s role should be exclusively limited to security, diplomacy and justice. We want to go even further and leave parts of these functions to the private sector as well. I believe we can outsource security with an UBER-style approach and parts of the justice system can be delegated to private courts.
Another Liberland architectural design proposal
Global Gold: You devised a currency called the “Merit”. Could you tell us a bit more about this currency? Why did you think it is necessary for the state of Liberland to create a currency?
Vít Jedlička: A currency is one of the symbols of statehood. We took the best out of the fiat and cryptocurrency system and introduced a well working currency from which everybody will benefit. Merits are used as a reward system for people who help our cause; these Merits represent a claim on the future revenues of Liberland. You could describe Merits as a kind of “private equity currency”.
We should mention that we believe in the importance of competing currencies, we will therefore not pressure anybody to use our currency. Inside Liberland, everyone is free to use the currency they choose for all transactions and also when dealing with the government.
A Facebook group calling itself the “Liberland currency authority” has designed commemorative gold coins for Liberland called “Vits” after the founder and president
Global Gold: As Global Gold, I am also interested to learn your thoughts about gold?
Vít Jedlička: I have been a gold bug since 2003, when I wrote my thesis on foreign reserve systems. I even organized a Gold Initiative for the Czech Republic very shortly before I started Liberland. Lukas Reimann, the Swiss SVP politician, was the key-note speaker at the conference. The Czech central bank faces similar challenges to the Swiss central bank as it has accumulated large amounts of foreign reserves. The Czech central bank currently only holds 0.8% percent in gold, which is a shame.
Global Gold: Thank you very much, Vit, for this opportunity to speak with you and for sharing your views with us.

Christopher London ’94, executive director of Educate the Children, presented a lecture entitled “Building Trust in International Organizations” to a crowded Caldwell 100 yesterday. The lecture featured a slide show focusing on both the specific work of Educate the Children and the more general idea of the processes by which international organizations can succeed.
Founded in 1990, Educate the Children is a small non-governmental organization (NGO), based in Ithaca, which works in Nepali communities. Nepal, known most notably for Mount Everest, is a very small, poor agricultural country land-locked between India and China. The national gross domestic product was $5.2 billion in 2003, with 82.5 percent of individuals living off of under $2 per day.
London shared that the NGO’s main intention is to improve lives in Nepal through the advancement of “children’s education, women’s literacy and empowerment, and agricultural development.”
Educate the Children focuses on scholarships for students, kindergarten education and the training of teachers to further the schooling of children. To help advance the power of women, the group emphasizes both “basic and legal literacy” and “gender relations”, including open meetings between members of both genders to help foster better treatment by men. With regard to agricultural development, Educate the Children teaches the Nepalese about kitchen gardens, livestock management, and newer technology.
London spoke about the success rates of Educate the Children in better educating Nepali children. In communities where the group has not aided in education, the rate of students passing the standardized national test was 13 percent. But communities with the help of Educate the Children have a success rate of between 53 percent and 92 percent.
London also addressed the more general idea of international organizations by breaking down “building trust in international organizations.” He defined each part of the phrase to better understand the overall meaning.
His presentation stressed that ‘building’ meant a “steady layering of increasingly complex activities, which concentrate on the process as opposed to the product,” while ‘trust’ was “the placement of confidence into a group.” London added that it is the responsibility of the international organization to “say what you mean and then do what you say.”
London claimed that the most important attribute an international organization can have is humility in dealing with the delicate situations which may arise in foreign places.
This presentation was the latest in the continuing colloquia series presented by the Cornell Institute for Public Affairs. CIPA’s colloquia series draws government officials from Congress, the United Nations, State Department and Justice Department in addition to representatives of NGOs, journalists, and professors.
The colloquia are designed for the students in CIPA’s master’s program but all events are open to the public. Next Thursday’s lecture is entitled “Making and Breaking Policy in the NGO World,” and the guest speaker will be Linda Rabben, a Visiting Scholar in the Cornell Latin American Studies Program.

Attack on the free press? I dont consider Fox News part of the free press. To be a free press, the for one should not have a political agenda that they constantly push openly while claiming the opposite. Fox News is the mouth piece of the GOP pure and simple.
Attack on freedom of speech? Well sadly in the US "freedom of speech" also means freedom of responsibility for spreading lies and miss-information. It use to be that media out-lets that were considered serious, were called on their lax reporting. Now days, Fox News gets away with pretty much anything.. may it be the anti-education attacks their anchors make or the out right crazy conspiracy crap they pull. Nancy Grace not believing Fox News own weather man that the radiation coming from Japan was minimal on the west coast of the US.... really takes the top spot for me at the moment.. what an idiot of a woman. But sadly it is not the only example of their anchors with college degrees playing people with no high school education.
Sorry but Fox News dug this hole they are in, and the fact that Media Matters has the balls to call them (and other media outlets too) on their miss-information, lies and propaganda should be applauded rather than scowled on. Someone has to keep the media in check, especially the serial liars and propaganda stations.

Who doesn't believe that it should exist? Well, Iran, Iraq, Syria, the Taliban, Hizbollah and Hamas and a few more 'special' countries. Oh, and George Galloway MP.
Watch what the putrid little puss-ball has to say here.
This isn't some backwater technical college, this is in Oxford University.
Personally, I love the way that after he and his secretary leave, he receives a wide variety of cat calls.
Some history about Galloway:
George Galloway was expelled from the Labour party after being found guilty of four of the five charges of bringing the party into disrepute. The charges faced by Galloway were that:
· he incited British troops to defy orders
· he incited Plymouth voters to reject Labour MPs,
· he threatened to stand against Labour
· he backed an anti-war candidate in Preston.
A report by the then-majority Republican Party staff of the United States Senate Committee on Investigations published in October 2005 asserted that Galloway had given false or misleading testimony under oath when appearing before them. The report exhibits bank statements it claims show that £85,000 of proceeds from the Oil-for-Food Programme had been paid to Galloway's then-wife Amineh Abu-Zayyad.
On 20 March 2009, Galloway was advised by the Canada Border Services Agency he was deemed inadmissible to Canada on "security grounds" due to his involvement in the Viva Palestina aid convoy to the Gaza Strip following the 2008–2009 Israel–Gaza conflict. The Gaza Strip is governed by Hamas, which is on Canada's list of terrorist organisations. This resulted from a personal donation of £25,000 made by Galloway ten days earlier.
The Canadians ruled (and maintained on appeal) that this constituted explicit support for Hamas, although Galloway argued it was not the case as the money was intended to be used for aid purposes.
On 20 August 2012, Galloway provoked controversy and criticism with his comments on the legal case against Wikileaks' Julian Assange. Galloway stated that the allegations, even if true, "don't constitute rape" because initiating sex with someone who is asleep after a sexual encounter the previous night isn't rape.
According to The British barrister, Felicity Gerry, this is not correct under English law. Galloway's comments were criticised by anti-rape campaigners as 'ignorant' and 'very unhelpful'. Respect leader Salma Yaqoob described Galloway's comments as "deeply disappointing and wrong".
Galloway was then fired from his job as a columnist on Holyrood, a Scottish political magazine, for refusing to apologise for his remarks
On 27 November 2012, Galloway branded Zionism “a blasphemy against Judaism and against God”, praised the legitimacy of Hamas and publicly called for the dismantling of Israel. This call was made during an anti-Israel demonstration. Galloway has said: “We do not hate Jews. We hate Zionism, we hate Israel, we hate murder and injustice. Israel blasphemes against the Torah by calling itself a Jewish state.”. This call was followed by a call for the outlawing of dual British-Israeli citizenship as well.
Galloway does not answer questions about his religious beliefs saying that this is a "personal matter". The New Statesman issued an update noting that Galloway does not deny being a Muslim convert, and that he failed to clarify how by his own admission he had a 'Nikah' (a Muslim marriage ceremony) despite the fact that non-Muslim man cannot marry a Muslim woman under Islamic law.
An 'interesting' man for sure.

Ever since Prabhas and Saif Ali Khan starrer Adipurush was announced, fans of the South superstar are glued for updates. While the two actors have confirmed their entries, the female leads of the film are being looked out for. After several names already speculated, the latest reports hint that Anushka Sharma is the top contender to play Sita. The makers are keen on casting the Zero actress.
It was also being said that the makers are considering Kiara Advani for Adipurush. But now, the recent update says that they have almost finalised Anushka. The actor is yet to sign the dotted line, but the possibility is high.
Talking about the same, a source close to Pinkvilla said, “Anushka Sharma is the top contender for the role. Om met and narrated the whole idea to Anushka, and she was blown away by his vision. In fact, their meeting had a very positive outcome and it will most likely be her playing Sita on screen.”
Meanwhile, Anushka Sharma recently took her fans on a joy ride as she announced her pregnancy. In that case, her entering Adipurush would mean waiting till she delivers the baby. As per the source, the makers are planning to build the schedule around that if she says yes.
“Anushka Sharma will mostly be ready to start shoot within two months post her delivery. Om wants to begin shoot around January and since Adipurush is based on Ramayana, they will first film the portions which won’t need Anushka in them. They will kickstart the schedule with the Prabhas-Saif conflict. But it’s still not confirmed – Anushka is Om’s first choice for the movie but she is yet to sign on the dotted line,” the source said.
However, produced by Bhushan Kumar’s T-series and directed by Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior fame Om Raut, Adipurush is a period drama. The film stars Prabhas as the titular character and Saif Ali Khan as Ravana.
How excited are you to see Anushka Sharma joining Prabhas and Saif Ali Khan? Let us know in the comments section below.


Bread Toaster 19. A thermodynamic system is a collection of matter and/or radiation confined in space by a wall with defined permeability that separates it from the surroundings.
So now Open system, 2. There are 3 types of of system in thermodynamic system; open, close, and isolated system.
the grass is high or tall. Top. By putting a lid on the saucepan, the matter can no longer transfer because the lid prevents the matter from entering the saucepan and leaving the saucepan-This example you will understand when you read open system examples. A familiar example is a quantity of popcorn kernels in a pot with a lid (Fig. entry level machine learning jobs giambattista valli white mini dress. Open System Example. Heat energy is transferred to the water by the gas flame and heat energy is also lost to the surroundings.
Thermodynamics Chemistry Chapter 6 Important Terms and Definitions System: Refers to the portion of universe which is under observation. The temperature rises to 127C by heat transfer to the system. Although the entropy of water is much less than the entropy of steam, the process occurs spontaneously provided that enough heat energy is taken away from the system to keep the temperature from rising as the steam condenses.
According to the first law of the thermodynamics. The solar energy that comes from the radiation of the Sun is a source of energy considered inexhaustible, so it is defined as a renewable energy. Differentiate between various types of thermodynamic systems and give examples of each of them. Fig: 3 A piston-cylinder open system made by making the cylinder open. Or . Toggle Navigation.
4C-3 - Quenching a Steel Bar in Oil. We can measure the quantities like temperature, volume, and mass. Isolated systems allow neither mass nor energy to flow through their boundaries. A thermodynamic system is a system that can interact (and exchange energy) with its surroundings, or environment, in at least two ways, one of which is heat transfer. Introduction. A beaker of water, where water can evaporate and the beaker does not insulate inside at all. Surroundings: Everything else in the universe except system is called surroundings. val avionics in certified aircraft what happened to ethan on chicago med judas priest drummer heart attack. Define thermal equilibrium and thermodynamic temperature. CENGAGE Learning Open System An open system is a system that freely exchanges energy and matter with its surroundings. Define closed, open and isolated system, give one example of each. In thermodynamics, a system must be able to be defined by thermodynamic variables such as temperature, entropy, and pressure ( Wikipedia ). Heat Flow and Energy. Enthalpy is a thermodynamic quantity which is equal to total heat content in a system. Property Relation: Nitrogen is an ideal gas. A system implies simply the collection of matter. 4C-4 - Muzzle Velocity of a Pellet Fired From an Air Gun. On the other hand, an open system can exchange matter and energy. An open system is a system that freely exchanges energy and matter with its surroundings. System. In thermodynamics, a closed system can exchange energy (such as heat or work), but the matter can not be transferred across the boundary.
An open system is one which can allow mass as well as energy to flow through its boundaries, example: an open cup of coffee. An open system is a type of thermodynamic system that can exchange energy as well as mass with its surroundings. The
Examples of an open system Human body. Or . An open system is one that permits mass to cross the system boundary. Which wants to be studied in thermodynamics.
Figure 1: Types of system. Sunlight can reach the worlds surface and we can send rockets to space. Rearranging the above equation. For example, an open beaker containing reactants is an open system. Examples of Isolated systems [ENDORSED] Moderators: Chem_Mod, Chem_Admin. It is also known as a control volume system. An open system is a type of system where the transfer of mass, as well as energy, can be taken place across its boundary. A thermodynamic system consists of the following elements. Example 1: Two metals (A and B) are in thermal contact and thermal equilibrium. Various sources show the following three potential formulations of the third law of thermodynamics:It is impossible to reduce any system to absolute zero in a finite series of operations.The entropy of a perfect crystal of an element in its most stable form tends to zero as the temperature approaches absolute zero.As temperature approaches absolute zero, the entropy of a system approaches a constant An open system is defined as one in which mass and thermal energy can be transferred to its surroundings. Example: By boiling soup in an open saucepan on a stove, energy and matter are transferred to the surroundings through steam, this is an example of an open system. The first one is a closed system. When throwing a ball, for example, kinetic energy is passed from a humans hand to a ball, which results in the exchange of energy. A system is any designated An open system is one that permits mass to cross the system boundary. Fig. Chance favors the prepared mind Louis Pasteur The beaker acts as the boundary between the system and the surroundings. Depending upon the condition of change, five different types of thermodynamics systems have been recognized. A beaker of water is an example of a system. Our previous example of engine is an open system. The jet engine of an aircraft is an open system. Putting a lid on the saucepan makes the saucepan a closed system. Rearranging the above equation. It deals with various forms of energies including Heat and Work. 7. Flowing water bodies such as rivers, lakes, waterfalls, seas, etc.
What are some examples of a thermodynamic system? For example, the earth can be recognized as an open system. A thermodynamic process is always accompanied by a change in energy, although a change of matter may also occur in the case of an open system. Example 4-. In this case, the world is the system, and space is the surrounding. 6.2 Open, closed and isolated systems. TYPES OF THERMODYNAMIC SYSTEM: Thermodynamic system can be classified as: (1) Closed system or Control Mass system (2) Open system or Control volume system (3) Isolated system (1) Closed system or Control Mass system: Closed system (a) It is a system of fixed mass with fixed identity. There are three classifications of a system and its surroundings: an open system, a closed system, and an isolated system. Universe. Thats because the climate is an open system that receives much less entropy from the Sun than it exports to the universe (see box 1). 4C-2 - Equilibration of a Tank and a Piston-and-Cylinder Device. There are 3 types of of system in thermodynamic system; open, close, and isolated system. A radiant energy system receives its energy from solar radiation . If not, then what would be a good example of an open system? Open thermodynamic system. The system is no more closed now, its an open system. An open system can exchange both energy and matter with its surroundings. A closed system, on the other hand, can exchange only energy with its surroundings, not matter. An isolated system is one that cannot exchange either matter or energy with its surroundings. These are some common phenomena related to Thermodynamic Systems: A fountain pen while writing: Open system. 2.2.1 Open system. This physics video tutorial provides a basic introduction into open systems, closed systems, and isolated systems. The human body is a system that is open to all. In this case, the world is the system and space is the surrounding. All these have been described below: Open system: The system in which the transfer of mass as well as energy can take place across its boundary is called as an open system. Open System In an open system, the mass and energy both may be transferred between the system and surroundings. The first Law of thermodynamic for open systems states, the increase in the internal energy of a system is equal to the amount of energy added to that the amount of internal energy within the equals the difference between the amount of heat added to or extracted from the system and the work done by or to the system. An open system can be defined as a system which can exchange both matter and energy with the surrounding. A pump problem, where fluid is getting pumped from point 1 to point 2. In an open system, the exchange of matter and energy takes place between system and surrounding. Mathematically. The diagram below is a generic example of an open system. The heat transfer rate is also measured in [ kW k W ]. Open System: In a system, when there is exchange of energy and matter taking place with  Open systems, according to the theory, are characterized by: Allows the free exchange of information (matter, energy, money, etc.) Answer (1 of 11): Open system- Turbine, compressor,pump , boiler etc. Water Bodies 8. For example: Heating a pan. Open Loop System Advantages / Merits: Examples of open thermodynamic systems include: -Water boiling in a pot without a lid (heat and steam, which is matter, escape into the air) -Turbines -Compressors -Heat exchangers -The human body Isolated Systems An isolated system is one where the work is not performed on or by the system.

Most systems are known as an open system, which can exchange energy and/or matter with its surroundings ( (Figure) ). A steam turbine is an example of an open system. This is also called a Control Mass system. Matter cannot be exchanged in a closed system. Today I explain Open System in Thermodynamics. An air compressor, Turbine. 3.1 Thermodynamic Systems. An isolated systemcannot exchange any heat, work, or matter with the surroundings, while an open system can exchange energy and matter. Sunlight and rockets are often explained as energy and matter, respectively. Lesson C - 1st Law of Thermodynamics. A transformer while working: Closed System. It deals with various forms of energies including Heat and Work. A closed system allows only energy transfer but no transfer of mass. Air Compressor 3. An open system is also known as a flow system. Nor is heat extracted or added to the system. Thermodynamics is a branch of physical science. Candle flame while burning: Open system.
In order to explain the change in energy of an ice cube removed from a refrigerator and placed on the kitchen counter, I consider it as a closed system (can exchange only energy but not matter). The mass is continuously varying.

All real systems are open systems. The diagram below is a generic example of an open system. The surroundings include copper or steel is an example of a closed system. Open system: Mass is not fixed. Water gets evaporated and water can be added to the pan. It means in an open system: Boundaries of a controlled volume system can be real or imaginary. That may be the water in a pipe, engine oil in the engine, open container and liquid in a heat Read more With appropriate simplifications this generic system can be a component of a 2 phase power cycle, such as the turbine, pump, condenser, or boiler of a reversible Rankine steam cycle. A beaker of water, where water can evaporate and the beaker does not insulate inside at all. Equation (9.9) is the rst law of thermodynamics applicable to open. 5B-1 - Flow Work in a Steam Pipe; 5B-2 - Heat Transfer Required to Keep the Energy in a Flow System Constant; Lesson C - Steady-State Processes We begin with the first law of thermodynamics applied to an open thermodynamic system.
Boundary. In such application the internal energy of the system is equal to the heat provided to the system minus the work by the system. This is the final and most useful form of first law of thermodynamics for an open system. 6.1 System and the surroundings Note that the system may be defined by And that's actually the heart of the first law of thermodynamics which we touched on on the introduction to energy video. It can have an inlet mass flow rate at particular pressure and particular velocity. Fan 13. Chargers and Adapters 16.
A thermodynamic system includes anything whose thermodynamic properties are of interest. The first law of thermodynamics thinks big: it deals with the total amount of energy in the universe, and in particular, it states that this total amount does not change. It transfers heat and matter (steam) to its surroundings. Throughout an entire reversible process, the system is in thermodynamic equilibrium, both physical and chemical, and nearly in pressure and temperature Enthalpy is a thermodynamic quantity which is equal to total heat content in a system. For an example of an Open System in Thermodynamics, the earth can be recognized as an open system. Open System; Closed System; Isolated systems: These all types of thermodynamic system are elaborated, for understanding, Open System Open System Definition. (a) This boiling tea kettle is an open thermodynamic system. Earth 12. The First Law of Thermodynamics. In addition, what kind of thermodynamic system does a human body have? 1. Example: Boiling soup in an open saucepan on a stove, the energy and matter are being transferred to the surroundings through steam, this is an example of an open system. Open Loop System Example: The conventional electric washing machine is an example of an open-loop control system because the wash time is set by the estimation of the human operator, but not on the basis of whether the clothes are clean properly. Fig. The turbines, boilers and pumps in large-scale power generation plants are open systems. Type of thermodynamics. Thermodynamics is a branch of physics that deals with heat, work, and temperature, and their relation to energy, entropy, and the physical properties of matter and radiation.The behavior of these quantities is governed by the four laws of thermodynamics which convey a quantitative description using measurable macroscopic physical quantities, but may be explained in terms of Ortanul. The container remains filled and stirred throughout, so this is a steady state system as well.
No mass can cross the boundary of the system. 1. Volcanoes 15. Turbine 4.

As illustrated in Fig. Living Beings Body 2. users may email content, but the amount of what can be done is very small. content can sometimes be created but under very tight restrictions and generally does not actually alter the system or program or create content in a public space. examples of closed systems include many library catalog softwares, email software such as Explain the roles of all the components involved in thermodynamics. The presence of reactants in an open beaker is an example of an open system. In thermodynamics, a reversible process is a process, involving a system and its surroundings, whose direction can be reversed by infinitesimal changes in some properties of the surroundings, such as pressure or temperature.. Q1-2 = P (V2-V1) + U2 U1. This is also called a Control Mass system. Q1-2 = U2 + P2V2 (U1 + P1V1) From the equation of enthalpy, it implies. According to the first law of the thermodynamics. Energy and Thermodynamic system are particularly important concepts in this branch of science. Thermodynamic systems can be closed or open. There are three mains types of system: open system, closed system and isolated system. One type of open system is the so-called radiant energy system. For open and closed system Refrigerator 10. Heat Flow and Energy. The surroundings may include other thermodynamic systems or non-thermodynamic systems. For instance, when you are boiling soup in an open saucepan on a stove, energy and matter are bei Thermodynamic Process. Isolated system: Mass is fixed. 1 Answer +1 vote .

We make the following assumptions and definitions: Mass flows into or out of the system along one boundary of the system. Q1-2 = P*V + U. Q1-2 = U2 + P2V2 (U1 + P1V1) From the equation of enthalpy, it implies. The mass is continuously varying. (b) There is no mass transfer across system boundary.
Examples of Open System 1. There are two types of thermodynamics systems. systems over a chosen time interval, such as t f t o, and each term in this. For example, say the above reaction is happening in gas phase; then the walls of the container are part of the surroundings. Types of Thermodynamic Systems. are yet another example of open systems present around us as such systems can easily receive matter and energy from the surroundings and are also able to flexibly transmit matter and energy into the surroundings. The moon revolves around the earth: Closed System.

DME economy (conventionally based on its use as fuel) arouses growing interest, in parallel with the development of different routes for its conversion into hydrocarbons 2.
Would the Earth then be an example of an open system, because energy in the form of sunlight is constantly entering the system? What is Internal energy in first law of thermodynamics?Internal energy is nothing but the sum of this molecular kinetic energy and molecular potential energy. Now, internal energy is associated with the temperature of the object.If the temperature is higher, then the internal energy is more.If the temperature is lower, then the internal energy is less.Remember: A system does not contain heat. Another example: a plant is an open system because of the rate at which matter, and energy enter and leave the plant. An open system means the both energy and matter can get in and out of the system. No information is fed back cleanliness off the clothes. Boiling water is an example of an open system in which the heat is going out of the vessel and the steam as a mass also goes out of the system to the surroundings. For example, in a hydroelectric power station, there is an exchange of energy and matter. the steakhouse agua caliente menu; university of oregon class schedule winter 2022; best challenges to complete madden 22; public health For the first law of thermodynamics, U = Q+W. 1, an open system allows mass and energy to flow into or out of the system. A tank contains nitrogen at 27C. Heating Devices 18. The closed system is a system in which there is no transfer of matter across the boundary, no substance can leave or enter the system during investigation, only energy can pass through the boundary. infj careers without a degree. open-source front-end development tools gotham city underground. Sunlight and rocket are often clarified as energy and matter, respectively. As further discussed below, a simple example is the spontaneous condensation of steam into water. 5.1). Define Thermodynamics system, surrounding and universe. Key Terms: Energy, Kinetic Energy System, Matter, Potential Energy, Surrounding, Thermodynamics. Now we are going to open the system, or open the cylinder as shown below. Closed system- piston cylinder arrangements without valves, complete Rankine cycle is closed system though individual component is open system. Energy and Thermodynamic system are particularly important concepts in this branch of science. When a pan containing water is kept on a stove and heated, water molecules get evaporated and convert into steam. Here the boundary is an imaginary surface enclosing the beaker and reactants. For instance, when you An open system is one that can exchange heat, work and matter. What are some examples of a thermodynamic system? The direct synthesis of dimethyl ether (DME) on bifunctional catalysts is highly attractive for valorizing CO 2 and syngas derived from biomass gasification and is a key process to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Find the heat transfer and the ratio of the final pressure to the initial pressure. Many thermodynamic processes take place in open systems.In contrast to closed systems, in open systems there is not only a transfer of energy as heat or work but also a mass exchange with the surroundings.This is the case, for example, with pumps, compressors, aircraft engines or gas turbines.
3. Put another way, the First Law of Thermodynamics states
As in the case for total energy, though, the total entropy in the climate system is relatively steady. It means in an open system: Q1-2 = P*V + U. A TV switched ON: Closed System. Thus, mass transfer is taking place.


WEST VALLEY CITY -- The FBI has agreed to investigate allegations of corruption within the West Valley City police department's disbanded drug unit amid reports of a cover-up involving the officer-involved shooting death of an unarmed woman.
FBI spokeswoman Deborah Bertram confirmed that her agency's Salt Lake City office has taken the investigation but declined further comment.
West Valley City acting police chief Anita Schwemmer said during a Wednesday afternoon news conference that her department has already been working with the FBI but asked for a full investigation to restore trust in the agency among residents in this Salt Lake City suburb.
"This gives us the opportunity to have someone else outside of this department look at our department to see if any of those things occurred," Schwemmer said.
Schwemmer said there will be two separate investigations: One looking at the November fatal shooting of 21-year-old Danielle Misha Willard and another focusing on possible corruption and civil rights violations within the drug unit, which was dissolved in December.
In March, Salt Lake County District Attorney Sim Gill announced in March that his office was dropping 19 drug cases from West Valley City due to a lack of credible evidence. The case dismissals were triggered by an investigation that involves one particular West Valley City police officer.
The cases which span from 2008 to 2012, mostly involve drug offenses and were in various stages of the legal process when Gill moved to dismiss them. In some cases, only initial documents had been filed while others were ready for trial.
Gill and West Valley City police have declined to name the officer involved, but court records show detective Shaun Cowley appears in 18 of the 19 cases, more than any other officer. Cowley is also one of two officers involved in the shooting death of Willard.
An attorney for Willard's family has accused the police department of withholding and destroying evidence and alleges that the department has attempted to conceal details about the woman's death.
Schwemmer disputes that and says there has been no destruction or intent to destroy evidence and no cover-up regarding Willard's death.
The Utah Fraternal Order of Police has said it is confident Cowley will be cleared of any wrongdoing. Cowley's attorney didn't return calls from The Associated Press.
Schwemmer said Wednesday that there is no link between the two FBI investigations.
About an hour after West Valley City sent out a news release announcing the FBI involvement, the district attorney sent his own release saying it was actually the agency that requested the FBI investigation. He applauded West Valley City for agreeing to let the FBI take over.
"It speaks well to them to recognize that," Gill said. "The FBI will lend a level of transparency here and objectivity. Regardless of the good intentions of West Valley, it currently does not have the trust of our community."
Associated Press writer Michelle L. Price contributed to this report.

This dish is popular in the whole region around Shanghai, where it is cherished as a quick and easily prepared meal and usually served with a fried egg. The essence of this dish lies in its simplicity. As such, it is the Chinese equivalent of the Italian Pesto.
What makes it so enticing, is the combination of the fragrance of spring onion simmered in oil with the umami flavor of the soy sauce. As the soy sauce simply invigorates this meal, it is proof of how much depth and flavor a high quality soy sauce can add in a simple dish. Spring onion oil is also a delicious companion with other dishes, as it may also serve as a salad dressing and dipping sauce. Thus, it is worth making greater quantities of the oil and storing it in the refrigerator which makes it a convenient condiment for a fast paced lifestyle.
Ingredients (für 2 Portionen)
- 200 g Noodles
- 30 g Soysauce
- A pinch of sugar
- a Pinch of Salt
- 300 g Spring Onion
- 200 g Rapeseed oil
Note: The quantities of spring onion and rapeseed oil account for an entire jar of spring onion oil (for 6 servings).
Cut the spring onion into abound 10 cm long pieces. Split the white part of the spring onion through the middle. Take one of the green pieces and cut it in small pieces. These pieces will be used as garnish in the end.
Heat up the oil to 100 degrees and then turn the heat down. First, fry the white part of the spring onion at a low heat. When the spring onion is becoming soft and transparent, add one batch of the green spring onion pieces. After this batch has become soft, add another batch of green onion pieces. Note that this process of preparing the spring onion oil takes a bit of patience. Yet, it is important to let the spring onion simmer in oil for a longer time at a low heat for the flavor to fully unleash. When the spring onions turn gold brown, turn the heat off. The entire process takes around 10 minutes. After the oil has cooled down, it can be stored in a jar and kept in the fridge for more than one week.
Add the soy sauce together with a pinch of sugar and salt into the serving bowls. After making sure the noodle is no longer watery, dish the serving bowls with the noodle, drizzle a few tablespoons of oil on it and add the oil infused spring onions. Mix everything evenly. Finally, add the spring onions for garnish.
With a simple cucumber salad or light side dish, the dish is ready to enjoy!
About the Noodles:
In the traditional Chinese recipe, fresh or dried wheat noodles are used. Buckwheat noodles also go well. If the asian-style noodles are hard to find, you can also use extremely slim spaghetti.
About the Soy Sauce:
In China, people use short term fermented soy sauce and aged soy sauce together, which produces a rich umami flavor and a beautiful color. The equivalent to this would be the Japanese Usukuchi and Koikuchi. It is even better to use the double brewed Tsuru Bishio soy sauce, which is usually aged for four years. Another choice for a gluten free option is Ganko Tamari, which is fermented over 3 years.

text: The decor and service made our diner experience seem promising, but it was not so. We asked the waitress for recommendations from the very large menu. She had none to offer. So we went with items identified as "house specialities", thinking they would be the best choice. The ginger chicken was boiled chicken with an side bowl of ginger preserved in oil. The beef chan men was remarkably tastless and the order of mixed vegetables were steamed and dull. Ordinarily, my husband and I like authentic chinese food, but we left without even wanting to take any of the large quantity of leftovers.

Portland >Food & Dining > India House
1038 SW Morrison St, Portland, OR | Directions 9720545.520179 -122.683128
Neighborhoods: Neighbors West - Northwest, Downtown
poor excuse for indian food – I ordered Indian salad, spicy lamb vindaloo, and naan. The Indian salad ($3.50) tasted like a Mexian salsa on a bad day. The tiny serving of so-called lamb vindaloo was bland, didn't taste like lamb, and was swimming in oily red sauce ($12.95). The naan was cold, dry, and hard $2. This lunch cost over $18 and I left hungry and not happy.
Price $$$ and little amount – I placed a take out order which consisted of two curry dishes and a side of rice. I picked up three small containers equivalent to 3 small chinese food boxes and was charged almost $30. Good food but not worth the price.
bland, boring and bad service. – this was the blandest indian food i've ever had. i got a vegetarian sampler platter and everything was so bland and muted. the naan was cold and dry. my husband had lamb vindaloo and said it tasted like lamb and tomato sauce. the waitress was very flat and curt, never smiled once. she forgot our rice. we reminded her. she forgot again. the atmosphere was decent. i really doubt we'll return. not a bad meal, just disappointing and unsatisfying.
Overpriced, undercurried. – Atmosphere: Pretty nice, but a little chilly.
Service: The food and drinks came pretty quickly and the waitstaff was attentive. However, our waiter didn't know anything about the drinks they serve, was hesitant to make a suggestion between two dishes, and implied that rice was included with our meal when it was not.
Food: My chicken tikka masala was more like chicken in marinara sauce. It was a dark red color (not light orange as is customary), and seemed to lack any real curry flavor. My bf's lamb vindaloo was a failure in the savory department and didn't have nearly enough meat for the price. As previously mentioned the rice was not included with the meal, which is very strange and just plainly not the way it's done. We ended up paying $6 for a meager portion of not-that-tasty rice; this was especially ridiculous since the entrees were $14 each. The garlic naan was pretty good, but was small. The veggie pakoras were decent, but I didn't like the sauces they brought - there was no mint involved and the yogurt sauce was spicy.
Great Indian food! – I was reading all of these negative reviews and can't understand it. This is one of my favorite restaurants in Portland. I've eaten here many times and have always had a good experience. If you're eating here on a weekend, be sure to make a reservation so you don't have to wait for a table, it does get busy.
Felt insulted – I am from diff state, am coming here for work . I always like to eat Indian food. This was very convenient place from my office place. I was eating here from last 3 & 1/2 months (2 times in a week @ dinner time and Avg 150$ business in a month). I had liked the Green chatni. I was always ordered extra and they were giving me. Suddenly they asked me to pay 2.50$ for extra one cup chatni. I felt very insulting. Its not a matter of $2.50. It means that " they do not understand human feelings (as specially to indian)."
what a joke. – this place is so bad it shouldn't even be classified Indian food -- it's Montezuma's Revenge. a ddiarrhea buffet. i swear, it is SO bad it must be a joke on all of us -- seeing how much they can get away with, serving soupy, watery, runny food to gringos who are none-the-wiser. it is SO bad, i can't even express my level of disgust without actually becoming physically naseaus to reenact how i felt. DON'T GO HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i cannot emphasize this enough. walk two blocks up to Chaat House -- their food is actually made with high-quality ingredients, is cooked with love, and has TEXTURE. or, for the same price as the lunch buffet, go over to Swagat! at least you get a VARIETY of foods that also have more texture than this skidmark on SW Morrison.
Disappointed – There are better choices for Indian food in Portland: Bombay Cricket Club or the new East India Company that I would recommend.
Skip it – This was our first experience of curry in Portland and it was quite frankly a worry. Both being seasoned curry lovers having grown up in London and Yorkshire, travel regularly to India, we were disappointed with the fare at the India House. The place was doing brisk business but we couldn?t figure out why. All the dishes tasted the same, covered in a mediocre gravy. How come this place gets an average 4+ star average, when the individual scores ad up to a median of 3.3?
not terrible, but very bad – Way over priced. This place is really just a typical Indian restaurant. Mediocre food. Nothing unique, has all the usual dishes. Worst of all rather small portions and a high price. Try Tandoor in downtown where the food is better, the portions greater and the prices lower. Don't believe the hype about this place. Money grubbing owner, perhaps.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has revealed that Daniel Sturridge is no closer to a return to action and will not feature in Liverpool’s two upcoming cup matches.
The Reds boss confirmed at his Monday press conference that the injury-plagued striker had missed training sessions this week as he strives to return to full fitness.
Sturridge last played on December 6 and Klopp has ruled him out of Tuesday’s League Cup semi-final first leg at Stoke City, according to Liverpool’s official Twitter account.
The 26-year-old is also unlikely to play any part in Liverpool’s FA Cup third-round trip to League Two minnows Exeter City on Friday despite his own confidence in his fitness.
The England international is quoted by BBC Sport as saying, as recently as Boxing Day, that he is ready to make his comeback from his latest layoff – another hamstring injury.
Sturridge has scored 37 goals in 47 Premier League starts for Liverpool, but has only played six times since April and his unreliability is becoming a real dilemma for Klopp.

Mary and Martha: A Different Perspective
As Catholics, the story of Saints Martha and Mary Magdalen is very familiar to us. In Luke 10:38-42, we read the account of Our Lord’s visit to Martha and Mary in their home. Martha is very busy, getting the house ready and preparing all that is needed for Jesus. Mary sits at His feet, captivated by His words. Martha sees this, and rebukes Mary for not helping her. Christ says to Mary after hearing this: “Martha, Martha, thou art careful, and art troubled about many things: But one thing is necessary. Mary hath chosen the best part, which shall not be taken away from her.”
Many people compare this story to the vocations of the active life of those in the world and the contemplative life of religious, with the contemplatives having the better part. Many also compare this occasion to married and religious life, holding that Our Lord favors those in convents and monasteries better than those living in the world. But, I want to look at this episode from a different perspective. After all, those living in the world may feel discouraged at such a comparison. But what is beautiful about sanctification, is that each person has a different vocation that will bring them to Christ. Each vocation, in accordance with God’s Will, is the best for that particular person and God expects us to pray for and perfect the vocation He gives us.
Perfection in a Vocation
The reason Martha was rebuked by Our Lord was not necessarily because of their vocational differences, but because Mary was more focused on what really mattered as opposed to Martha. Martha was not rebuked because her duty was less meritorious than Mary’s, but because she was not doing her duty perfectly. We see her in this scene running around trying to get everything done, not paying much attention to Our Lord. Mary sets aside all the cares of the world and sits lovingly at the feet of Jesus, refusing to be worried and anxious in the presence of her God.
No matter what our vocation is, we need to remember that God is the most important aspect of our lives. We may be caught up in worldly affairs, but one day our lives will be over and God will ask us how much of our lives were lived for Him. Whether we are a priest, a nun, a spouse, or a single person living in the world, our daily duty is the highest and most perfect vocation for us. If we had a family and left suddenly to become a hermit because there is more merit in the contemplative life, we would not be gaining any treasures of merit at all. God calls us to sit at His feet, and place all our worries in His care.
This story reminds us that we should have a balance of carrying out what needs to be done in our earthly lives, and what needs to be done in our eternal lives. God does not often call us to do spectacular things, but to perfect ourselves in the little acts, to sit at His feet when He calls.
St. Francis de Sales would often pray: “Lord, I am Thine, and I must belong to no one but Thee. My soul is Thine, and must live only by Thee. My will is Thine, and must love only for Thee. I must love Thee as my first Cause, since I am from Thee. I must love Thee as my End and Rest, since I am for Thee. I must love Thee more than my own being, since my being subsists by Thee. I must love Thee more than myself, since I am all Thine and all in Thee. Amen.”
We must live for God and God alone, offering to Him every action we perform, no matter how small. It is truly an act of humility to say, especially if we are young: “Lord, though I do not have spectacular offerings to give Thee, I give Thee all that I can. Everything I do today, whether it be making my bed or helping around the house, I know that these actions, united to Thy Life, will be of infinite merit and will be a pleasing act of love toward Thee.” Our Lord rebuked Martha because she was worrying, and not trusting in Him with her duties. Mary chose the better part, because she chose God over material worries. We need not worry about the things of the world, but use them to become closer to God.
Fleeing from Anxiety
St. Padre Pio once said: “If certain thoughts bother you, it is the devil who causes you to worry, and not God, Who, being the Spirit of peace, grants you tranquility.” Worrying is never from God, we can always be assured of that. God may send us crosses and tribulations, but an upset in our peace of soul is not the work of our Heavenly Father. Anxiety paralyzes the soul, making it almost impossible to focus on perfecting ourselves.
Our Lord was sure to bring this up when He saw Martha worrying. What is worrying about details, when the Son of God is sitting in your living room? We must always pray for the grace to discern the Will of God and see what is most important in our lives. Once we begin perfecting ourselves and eliminating the worry that holds our souls captive, we will see religion as being an essential guide to our lives, rather than a burden.
Contemplation and the Need for Action
Yet though Mary sat at the feet of Our Lord and was told she chose the better part, we cannot take it as an example to retire from all our cares and simply retreat into silence and prayer. Prayer is essential, yet will not be very beneficial if we are refusing to do our duty. If we are a parent and choose to spend our days in church instead of with our children, are our actions pleasing to God? As Traditional Catholics we often get distracted with our many devotions and private practices. Yet we do not need to busy ourselves constantly and quickly mutter the words of prayers just to fit it in our day. All we must do is sit at the feet of Christ and listen to His words. We can do this constantly throughout the day, beginning by simply saying our Morning Offering! How kind God is to give us so many means of reaching sanctity.
St. Alphonsus Maria de Ligouri tells us: “During our sojourn in this world, we should learn from the Saints now in Heaven, how to love God. The pure and perfect love of God they enjoy there, consists in uniting themselves perfectly to His Will. It would be the greatest delight of the seraphs to pile up sand on the seashore or to pull weeds in a garden for all eternity, if they found out such was God’s Will. Our Lord Himself teaches us to ask to do the Will of God on earth as the Saints do it in Heaven: ‘Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.’”
God is praised not in fear and worry, but in humility and prayer. We may think that in this parable, Mary is not the best example for those living in the world; but if we see it as Mary always being mindful of the presence of Our Lord, it can be extremely helpful to us as we go about our day.
The modern world is distracting, yet let us use the story of Saints Martha and Mary Magdalen to help focus us on what really matters. We may not have the opportunity to live in a silent cloister, constantly contemplating the presence of Our Lord, but we do have all the means in our own lives to reach sanctity, thereby remaining in the presence of God at all times. In Matthew 10:28-31 we are told: “And fear ye not them that kill the body, and are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him that can destroy both soul and body in hell. Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and not one of them shall fall on the ground without your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: better are you than many sparrows.”
God knows all of our needs, all we need to do is love and obey Him, and all the rest will be taken of.
