Healing Beyond Touch
What is the most desperate you have ever felt? I am not talking about the kind of desperation or anxiety driven by the need to pass a test, be approved for a loan, or realize a personal dream.
I’m thinking about the feelings you might experience in a life and death situation, your own or even more strongly - a situation involving a loved one – particularly a child.
Today we have such a story of desperation – two stories really, that are intertwined in the telling.
One of them is the story a young girl, the daughter of Jairus, a leader of the synagogue. While we don’t know the nature of her illness, we do know that she is near death - and her father is desperate in that breathless, heart-stopping way that verges on hysteria and hopelessness and feels like a death in and of itself.
On the banks of the Sea of Galilee, as Jesus and the disciples struggle to move about freely for the crowds hemming them in, eager to receive some of that Good News Jesus has been talking about, Jairus runs up to him, throws himself at Jesus’ feet, and begs Jesus over and over again to come, to touch his young daughter, who is desperately ill to the point of death, and to heal her; to keep her from leaving him; to keep her from dying.
I imagine that most of us can empathize with the man’s desperate pleas. We can all probably appreciate the fear, the absolute terror, and the need that drive him. And so, he begs, he pleads, he falls to his knees – he will do anything for his daughter to live. Won’t Jesus come and save her?
But, as Jesus turns to go with Jairus, in the midst of a hundred desperate, grabbing, reaching, open hands, there is one hand that touches the hem – just the hem of his robe, extracting the power she needs to become whole.
She is a woman perhaps in middle age. Unlike the younger girl, she seems to be alone, with no one to plead for her or help her. She will do anything to be healed.
The illness that afflicts her has taken its toll in more than a decade of suffering; she has endured long years of seeking the help of physicians, magicians, or anyone else who might be able to restore her to health.
Her chronic hemorrhage has rendered her ritually unclean, an outcast by her synagogue and her community even as she becomes sicker and sicker. This illness has drained her life from her; seeking a cure has drained everything else, leaving her alone, destitute, and nearly hopeless. She would have been valued by no one, accepted by no one, befriended by no one.
Standing between this desperate, fear-driven father of a daughter whose life seems to be over after just twelve years of living, growing, twelve years of developing into this girl who is now on the cusp of promise and plenty, and the impoverished, ailing, isolated twelve-years bleeding woman, stands Jesus.
He is a healer. He is the one who denies death its power; he is the one who restores life. Jesus is the one who goes beyond what is sensible or ‘acceptable’ to deliver God’s love, mercy, compassion, and healing on those who stand in the margins.
A leader in the synagogue, Jairus has power and wealth. His daughter, of course, benefits from these, and while Jairus fears losing her, he has every expectation that Jesus will come, along with whatever power he possesses, to heal his daughter.
The woman, by rights, can have no expectation of anything – kindness, compassion, or healing. Shamed into silence by the prejudice, judgment, and bad religion of the day, she should make her request and hold her hope in private.
But, as she reaches out to touch the hem of Jesus’ robe… his power turns her expectations into a prize larger than life itself – larger than the life she was reaching for when she dared to try to touch his robe.
Just then, a messenger comes with the worst nightmare one can imagine – announcing the death of the young girl. Yet, as we read on, we see the power of Jesus manifest in life restored to her.
A twelve-year marginalized woman, and a twelve-year old girl: Each one of them is precious in God’s sight: each of them with a beautiful story of healing to be told. Each receives the gift of healing – it is the power of Jesus alone to heal.
The two daughters and their mutual twelve years bring each to a place where physical barriers and religious taboos must be broken in order to reach Jesus – and Jesus shows that he is not bound by any laws to keep him away.
The number 12 is common to both stories; It stands as a sign that there is abundant life in Jesus. This interwoven story clues us in that Jesus is on the loose in the world with divine power to restore life — abundant life for everyone.
At the end, those who doubted and those who laughed are left in speechless amazement.
For those who suffer, wait, are isolated in their suffering, are stripped of life through disease or disaster, or sit with the intense longing that only those who have suffered deep loss can know, this text brings hope.
Jesus is and always will be present, available, compassionate, and death-defying. Jesus reorders who is “in” and who is “out” in the economy of God that insists on abundance, and denies the powers that choose sides or diminish God’s beloved children as anything less than deserving of grace by God’s own judgment.
This story seems particularly timely right now, as we are coming away from a time of pandemic and the restrictions it placed – and still places – upon us. One of the conditions this pandemic imposed upon us is one of isolation. Like the woman with the hemorrhage, many of us have endured a time of intense isolation.
What happens when such isolation becomes the norm, as it did throughout most of the past year? What happens when social alienation takes shape and becomes commonplace, even expected?
Given our experience of this year, we might have a better understanding and compassion on those who, like the woman in our text, suffer from the isolation of judgment or not being able to “measure up” to being worthy of God’s healing grace.
The key to understanding this text is located in this word, “abundance.” God grants us his mercy, grace, forgiveness and love unconditionally and extravagantly. In God’s presence we receive an abundance of his healing, miraculous love.
I hope that when Jairus embraces his resurrected daughter, he also embraces a new vision of who God is, and what God values. In Jairus’s story, Jesus demands that we not see death where he sees life. In the bleeding woman’s story, he demands that legalism and judgment give way to love every single time.
In each story, Jesus restores a lost child of God to community and intimacy. In each story, Jesus embraces what is "impure" (the menstruating woman, the dead body) in order to practice mercy. ach story, a previously hopeless daughter “goes in peace” because Jesus isn’t a pronouncer of death; he is a giver of new life.
This is wonderful Good News to share today, on a day when we welcome a new member into the life of community at each service. At the early service we will welcome one who may have difficulty being physically present and we will pray for her healing. At the late service, we will welcome one through the Sacrament of Baptism. In both cases, God’s abundant love and compassion will be prayed for them and for this congregation as we are made more full through their welcome and presence.
Mark awakens us to the abundant healing grace of God in Jesus. In Jesus, there is hope, life and community for all.
When we experience the abundance of God’s grace, we can’t help but take Jesus seriously. In Jesus, God has a way of transforming our doubt and dismissive laugher into tears of joy, our skepticism into speechless amazement and wonder. May it be so, each and every day. Amen.

The US economy created 117,000 jobs in July, a better-than-expected outcome, according to the US Labor Department.
The figure was better than June's, which was itself revised up from 18,000 to 46,000.
The overall unemployment rate in July fell to 9.1% from 9.2%.
The news helped the Dow Jones share index to close higher. It comes after the index suffered its biggest one-day drop since 2008 on Thursday due to worries about the global economy.
The number of unemployed people fell to 13.9 million, down from 14.1 million.
President Barack Obama highlighted the number of private sector jobs added not just last month but for the past year-and-a-half, but conceded that "we've got to do better".
"We are going to get through this. Things will get better and we're going to get there together," he said.
Analysts welcomed the improved jobs figures, which came after recent data on economic growth and consumer spending had raised questions about the strength of the US recovery.
"It's pretty good, it provides some temporary relief; people had been fearing the worse but it's a better number than expected," said James Knightley, senior US economist at ING.
Businesses added 154,000 jobs, but the government cut 37,000 jobs according to the non-farm payroll figures.
However, 23,000 of those losses were linked to a temporary shutdown of Minnesota's state government which meant workers did not get paid that month.
Jobs were created in manufacturing, retail, health care, hotels and restaurants.
Average hourly earnings also increased by 0.4%, though weekly earnings remained unchanged.
However, the jobs figures may provide only a limited reassurance to investors worried about the US economy.
The figures benefited from a decline in the number of workers looking for a job which reduced the number of people registered as unemployed.
That suggests that rather than finding work some job seekers are instead giving up seeking employment.
Stock markets in the US opened higher, but fell back during the morning.
"There were fears we were going into recession and this allays those fears, but the labour market is still sick, and it reminds us of the enormously steep hill we have to climb," said Josh Feinman, chief global economist with DB Advisors.
US traders are also concerned about the continuing sovereign debt issues in the eurozone which threaten to undermine European economic growth.
"I think the sovereign debt issues in Europe are very much still weighing on people. People don't know what the end game is going to be there - I certainly don't," added Mr Feinman.

In addition to the programs listed below, specialized training programs can be developed for your agency.
A Primer On Mental Illness And Special Populations For Police Officers (All Personnel)
This day-long course will familiarize everyone, from recruits in training, to officers on the street, to public safety administrators, with a range of specific mental disorders (morning session) and other special populations (afternoon session) that they are likely to encounter. During the morning session participants will develop a basic understanding of the various types of mental illness, including schizophrenia, anxiety disorders, dementia, and conduct disorder, among others. In addition, a comprehensive overview of personality disorders will be emphasized. Participants will learn the likely underlying causes and motivations for each disorder as well as methods and techniques of intervention for each, increasing their effectiveness when confronted with emotionally disturbed citizens and thereby reducing risk to themselves as well as to the citizens with whom they work.
The afternoon program teaches officers about the various types of special-needs citizens they may encounter in the field. Approaching, recognizing, and managing such citizens properly is critical to avoiding needless aggressive action, reduces risk, and promotes a more positive image of policing on the street. Topics include citizens who may have epilepsy, diabetes, neurological disorders, mental retardation, cerebral palsy, and other difficulties.
Stress and Anger Management For Public Safety Officers (All Personnel)
Upon completion of this all-day program, participants will understand more completely the mechanisms of stress and anger and how they can affect their daily functioning. A comprehensive review of the physiological and emotional mechanisms of stress and anger are presented, along with specific ways to manage these natural processes before, during, and after encountering them.
Psychological Effects of Background Investigations On Subjects and Investigators (Background Investigators, Supervisors, and Administrators)
This program reviews the psychological effects that background investigations have on both the subject of an internal-affairs investigation as well as on the investigators. Participants will learn specific information about the emotional toll of IA investigations, as well as how best to manage these events. Emphasis is placed on maximizing effectiveness as an investigator while maintaining emotional health. Stress management issues and techniques, such as the concept of “burnout” and what can be done about it, will also be covered.
Psychological Assessment of Police Officer Candidates (Background Investigators, Supervisors, and Administrators)
This course presents a detailed look at the psychological assessment of police officer candidates. A history of police testing and departmental responsibility/liability is discussed, along with the essential psychological underpinnings of the assessment process and a review of typical test instruments. Critical background, historical and behavioral issues, and indicators of future success or failure in policing are discussed in detail. The implications of various types of psychopathology are discussed, as are possible outcomes for a variety of test profiles. At the end of this course, participants will understand the importance and utility of psychological assessment in the recruitment and hiring process and be better informed regarding vital background, historical, and behavioral information in a candidate’s past.
Psychological Fitness For Duty Assessments – What Are They, And Why Bother? (Supervisors and Administrators)
At the end of this course participants will be better able to recognize impending or actual psychological difficulties in supervisees, colleagues, or themselves. A thorough review of psychological issues in policing, along with their implications for affecting the performance of personnel on the job, will be discussed. Signs of possible psychological distress in active-duty law-enforcement personnel will be covered (including the phenomenon of “burnout”) along with potential effects on professional and personal lives. Appropriate techniques for referral, as well as assessment and treatment procedures, will be discussed. Liability issues will be presented, along with a review of legal caselaw (for informational purposes only) regarding this topic.
The Psychology of Terrorism (All Personnel)
At the conclusion of this presentation participants will better understand the psychological underpinnings of terrorism. A review of the history of terrorism and the various types of terrorists, along with individual case studies, will be followed by a discussion of current terrorist motivations, behaviors, and attitudes as well as terrorist group strengths and weaknesses.

2nd annual Rotman Problem Solving Challenge offers scholarships to MBA applicants
February 3, 2014
TORONTO, ON – More than $300,000 in scholarship money to the Rotman Full Time MBA program will be up for grabs for the winners for the second annual Rotman Problem Solving Challenge to be held at the University of Toronto’s Rotman School of Management.
Designed for prospective and incoming Full Time MBA candidates, the Challenge provides an opportunity for future Rotman students to dive deep into a real-world unstructured problem using the School’s model-based approached to problem solving. The first place finisher wins a full tuition scholarship valued at $90,000 with additional individual and team-based prizes.
“We’re delighted to be able to build on the great success of our first Challenge last year which allowed participants to experience our approach to problem solving and to build their presentation and communications skills,” says Niki da Silva, Director, Recruitment & Admissions, Rotman Full Time MBA. “Participants were also able to meet their future classmates and, in fact, one group of students who met at the Challenge went on to win A.T. Kearney’s Global Prize 2013, an annual strategic case competition, in November.”
This year’s Challenge has three rounds. In the first round, which has a deadline of February 14, applicants will be asked to provide a written submission, of no more than 1,000 words, to the following question.
Social media is fundamentally changing how companies engage with their customers. It is frequently argued that companies need to “go social” or “go home”, yet many companies are uncertain about how to adapt to this new social reality. Choose an industry that, in your view, has not capitalized on the opportunities or prepared for the threats presented by social media and discuss both the greatest opportunities and threats facing companies in this industry.
For the second round, the submissions ranked in the top 100 will be asked to present via video to a panel of judges for no more than 15 minutes.
These top 100 finishers will all be invited to the Problem Solving Challenge weekend to be held at the Rotman School in Toronto on March 28 & 29. Participants will be assigned to an “executive team” to present their findings to senior representatives from the School as well as industry.
In order to be eligible for awards, participants must be accepted to the 2014 intake of the Rotman Full-Time MBA Program. Those who are interested in participating who have not yet submitted applications to Rotman are required to verify their eligibility by providing a résumé and a GMAT score along with their initial submission for the competition.
Complete details, including registration are online.

A prominent north Belfast loyalist is to face two further charges of professing to in the outlawed UDA/UFF.
Ihab Shoukri was charged with UDA/UFF membership
Ihab Shoukri, 32, of Westland Drive was already on bail facing charges of UDA/UFF membership.
Belfast Crown Court heard that the Crown would no longer be relying on the evidence of the chief prosecution witness in the case.
Evidence from a senior police officer has been withdrawn. The judge said he hoped to start the trial next month.
Mr Shoukri has been on bail for almost three years.
Last month, the police alleged he broke his conditions by being in a bar where paramilitaries were meeting.
However, the judge ruled that Mr Shoukri was not at the meeting and had not broken his bail conditions.

550-home Brue Farm development inches closer
THE biggest housing development in the Burnham and Highbridge area for years is inching closer to reality.
Developer Hallam Land Management won outline planning permission in March last year to build 550 homes and a primary school at Brue Farm.
However, that was subject to the signing of a legal agreement with Sedgemoor District Council over Hallam's community contributions.
That legal document, called a section 106, has now been signed.
As well as contributing to a 210-place primary school, Hallam will also fork out £1million towards off-site affordable housing.
There will also be contributions to play/community space.
A Sedgemoor District Council spokesman said: “Discussions on the contributions have concluded on the outline planning application.
“The next step will be for a full planning application to be submitted when discussions on the appearance of the properties will take place.”
Before the project was voted on last year, several local councillors raised concerns about traffic, the number of homes proposed, and the loss of green fields.
Highbridge councillor Helen Groves told the Weekly News she remained concerned the town does not have the infrastructure to cope with so many extra houses, and said there would be a particular strain on primary school places.
She said: “I would be very concerned if the new school were not in place in the first phase of the development.
“We know that by 2016 there will be a 97-place shortfall without any development, so to put any additional strain before the school is built would be a real concern.”

FedEx will report earnings after the bell yesterday at the NYSE, and investors will be watching closely for details about the delivery giant’s important holiday season.
The e-commerce giant, once a blessing, has now become a threat, especially as it looks to doing its own deliveries–even as traditional the logistics companies have committed to investing to handle increased volume.
FedEx has begun to address that threat head-on by announcing plans to open 500 FedEx Office stores inside Walmart locations, but it’s too soon to know whether they will have an impact.
Still, there are FedEx bulls. Bernstein’s David Vernon reiterated an Outperform rating and a $290 price target on the stock, despite the recent negative investor sentiment.
He believes FedEx can beat expectations on the top and bottom line, albeit modestly, thanks to a strong year in global airfreight and a tighter transportation marketplace.
And while weather and fuel costs may be a headwind in the quarter, Vernon thinks that investors will look past these factors and focus on how FedEx is growing sales as demand remains tight.
FedEx began yesterday morning in an upswing, attracting 1.25% to $252.74. The Industrial Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLI) was up 0.5%.

EPA Recognizes Federal Green Challenge Winners for Conserving Resources and Promoting Efficiency
WASHINGTON – Today, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is announcing national and regional awards to federal facilities for applying practical, cost-effective measures to conserve resources as part of the Federal Green Challenge (FGC). The Challenge, which began in 2012, is a national effort under EPA’s Sustainable Materials Management Program to encourage agencies to reduce the federal government's environmental impact. Reducing the size of a facility’s environmental footprint conserves natural resources and reduces pollution that contributes to climate change.
“It’s going to take a whole-of-government approach to build a more sustainable future, and the awardees announced today are leading the charge,” said EPA Administrator Michael S. Regan. “These agencies are addressing the impacts of the climate crisis by reducing the use of natural resources, resulting in an estimated cost savings across the federal government of $36 million in 2019.”
For 2021, EPA congratulates its national award winner Bonneville Power Administration (Portland, Ore.) on winning the Adaptation Award for their response during the pandemic.
Regional winners include Central Arkansas Veterans Healthcare (Little Rock, Ark.) in the category of Innovation, Sam Rayburn Memorial Veterans Center (Bonham, Texas) in the category of Leadership, and Presidio Trust (San Francisco) in the category of Education and Outreach.
Over the lifespan of the program from 2012-2021, more than 400 federal agencies have made many different changes to become more sustainable. Some high-level achievements have resulted in over three million tons of waste being diverted from landfills and 3,000 tons of e-waste being recycled. Agencies have avoided purchasing 15,000 pounds of office paper by switching to electronic documents. The federal government has purchased more electric and hybrid vehicles, resulting in a reduced fleet distance traveled by 28 million miles. These efforts and more have resulted in approximately $200 million saved for American taxpayers.

Ethiopian Airlines air crash is the second involving brand new Boeing 737 in just three months after 189 were killed in Indonesia tragedy
- Boeing 737 Max 8 which crashed today is the same model as Indonesia disaster
- Both planes went down in a nosedive, minutes after requesting to return to base
- It is Ethiopia Airlines' third massive disaster in 30 years after crashes which killed 125 in 1996 and 90 in 2010
- Less than a month after the Indonesian crash, the FAA issued an emergency airworthiness directive about the plane, warning a fault could lead to crashes
The tragic deaths of 157 passengers and crew today, when an Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 737 Max 8 aircraft crashed within minutes of take-off in Addis Ababa, are raising serious questions over the safety record of both aircraft and airline.
It was on another brand new Boeing 737 Max 8, in Indonesia less than five months ago, that 189 people lost their lives in the Java Sea when Lion Air Flight 610 plummeted out of the skies minutes after taking off from Jakarta.
And the incident brings the African carrier's death toll to 482 across 22 fatal incidents since its inception in 1965 - and almost 500 more people have been injured in EA crashes and incidents, according to information from the Flight Safety Foundation.
For comparison, only one British Airways flight has only ever been involved in one fatal incident: the Zagreb runway crash of 1976 when all 176 people aboard two planes died when BA Flight 476 collided with another aircraft on takeoff due to an air traffic control error.
An Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 737 Max 8 went down within six minutes of take-off this morning (pictured: stock image)
Initial reports today show considerable similarities between the Ethiopian and Indonesian disasters which involve the same plane.
Today's flight lost contact about six minutes after take-off, having requested and been given clearance to return to the airport in Abbis Ababa.
Last year, Lion Air 610 also went down minutes after take-off having requested permission to return to base.
Today, telemetry shows the plane's vertical airspeed fluctuated rapidly in the minutes and second before its crash, including in the final moments when it seems to have been locked in a terrifyingly accelerating nosedive,.
Investigations thus far by the Indonesian and American aviation authorities have concluded the Lion Air plane also hit the sea after a violent nosedive.

The wreckage of the plane - showing the colours of the Ethiopian flag on the plane's livery - lies at the scene of the crash
As in the case of October's Lion Air crash - also suffered by a Boeing 737 Max 8 - the plane seems to have suffered a rapid increase in vertical speed in the moments before its crash
The New York Times reports today that investigators are considering whether that dive might have been caused by updated Boeing software that was meant to prevent a stall - but that can send the plane into a fatal descent if the altitude and angle information being fed into the computer system is incorrect.
The change in the flight control system, which can override manual motions in the Max model, was not explained to pilots, according to some pilots' unions.
After that crash, Boeing said that it was continuing 'to evaluate the need for software or other changes as we learn more from the ongoing investigation.' It was unclear if the company had made any changes.
Today the Daily Telegraph reported that the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued an Emergency Airworthiness Directive in November last year in relation to one of the flight systems on the Boeing 737-8 and 737-9 series of aircraft.
That was published following the crash of Lion Air flight 610 on October 29.
The FAA directive warned that an 'angle of attack' censor, which is supposed to help to prevent a plane from stalling, could lead to an 'excessive nose-down attitude, significant altitude loss, and possible impact with the terrain'.
This 'unsafe condition … is likely to exist or develop' in the Boeing 737-8 and 737-9 designs, the directive concluded.
Boeing last night announced it will be sending a technical assistance team to the site of the crash.
When asked by the paper about the travel alert appearing to coincide with the crash, a US State Department official said: 'On March 8, US Embassy Addis Ababa released an alert related to concerns about traffic in the city due to expected protests.
Due to those concerns, US government travellers were advised not to arrive or depart Bole International Airport. The restriction on travel to and from the airport was lifted on March 9.'
In a statement on Sunday, Boeing said it was 'deeply saddened' to learn of the crash of Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302.
'A Boeing technical team is prepared to provide technical assistance at the request and under the direction of the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board,' the company said.
Ethiopian Airlines hopes to become the most prominent airline on the continent. Pictured: A man looks at his phone outside the Ethiopian Airlines offices in downtown Nairobi, Kenya
The state-owned Ethiopian Airlines calls itself Africa's largest carrier and has ambitions of becoming the gateway to the continent.
The airline does have a better safety rating and a newer fleet than some neighbouring operators - a number of African airlines are banned outright from EU airspace including the flag-carrier of neighbouring Eritrea.
But in addition to 16 fatal incidents costing 102 lives in the 1960s, 70s, and 1980s; the airline has now suffered six fatal incidents in the last thirty years, including other two huge tragedies.
In 1996 after a hijacking and a failed water landing, 125 people died on Flight 961 in Moroni, the capital of the Union of the Comoros in the Indian Ocean.
And in January 2010, 82 passengers and eight crew died when EA flight 409 from Beirut to Addis Ababa slammed into the Mediterranean shortly after take-off.
The Lion Air aircraft crashed in October about 13 minutes after taking off for Indonesia
Human remains were placed in body bags after being recovered from the scene of the crash off Indonesia
Boeing's 737 is the world's most-sold passenger jet family and is considered one of the industry's most reliable.
The MAX 8 is the latest version of the aircraft, which Boeing rolled out in 2017 as an update to the already redesigned 50-year-old 737.
By the end of January, Boeing had delivered 350 MAX jets out of the total order tally of 5,011 aircraft.

HANOI, -- According the latest SIPRI (Stockholm International Peace Research Institute) data of 2015, Israel has delivered 20 EXTRA Guided rocket SSM (Surface-to-Surface) to the Vietnamese armed forces to be used for coastal defence.
The Extended Range Artillery (EXTRA) is a precision rocket munition developed by IAI MLM and IMI Rocket Systems Division.
The EXTRA rocket munition is being offered packaged in a four-unit pod configuration for land based launchers. It can be installed on high mobility trucks or fixed stations.
The EXTRA rocket is 4.4m long and 306mm in diameter. It was developed by IMI as private venture and first announced in 2005.
One in flight, Extra rocket is guided to its target by an Israeli-made GPS-augmented inertial navigation system resulting in a circular error probable (CEP) of 10 m with a maximum range of 150 km.
For the naval application, the rocket carries a 120 kg explosive-fragmentation warhead.
First pictures of the EXTRA rocket used by the Vietnamese Armed Forces were released on the Vietnamese website DATVIET.
During a military parade in Vietnam, Extra rockets were mounted at the rear of 6x6 KrAZ military truck chassis in two configurations, one with a four-unit pod configuration and a second version with a two-unit pod.

Whether I’m traveling, or in my studios in Eastern Massachusetts and the Lowcountry of South Carolina, I’ve always been drawn to photographing all types of animals. I began with studio portraits, using lights, formal furnishings, and painted backdrops. Then I started to go outside, with natural light, and the challenging task of photographing animals in their natural habitat.
Over the last seven years, I’ve been particularly inspired to capture images of birds of prey, then expanding to include other large birds. This time I started in their natural habitat, spending many hours outside, waiting and watching, capturing osprey breeding, great blue heron building their nests, and egrets flying majestically over the marsh.
In ancient Egyptian, Chinese, and Greek mythology, and many religions, birds were symbols of spirituality, of spirit. Whenever I photograph birds, I feel other forces at work as well. Almost every time, the birds perform for me. At times they are stunningly graceful. At others, they are quite threatening. But always, I feel that sense of spirit.
I was also drawn to the instinct of wild animals and birds to survive from the moment they’re born. They are taught survival skills by their parents. It’s a daily practice – a necessity for them to learn how to survive in the wild, with extremes of weather, predators, and the challenges each day brings. I came to realize the parallel between human existence and the wild creatures I’m so drawn to photograph.
Over time, I instinctively began creating evocative portraits of the birds I’d photographed in the wild, by using painterly backgrounds and techniques in digital editing. I’ve come full-circle, harking back to my studio portrait days, but now the images are even more evocative. With the textured studio-esque application to my images of wild birds, I’m creating a more “dignified” setting for them. It’s incongruous. It forces us to see them differently, out of context. Really, nature is dignified too. But we tend not to see it that way. If you’re looking at an eagle in a distant pine tree, you’re not seeing it the same way as when you remove the surroundings partially obstructing it, and get up close – really see the bird – making it, and the depth of its presence, accessible.
I’m honoring these noble creatures, and the spirit they evoke.

If your wife or girlfriend asks you not to sit on the bed, don’t get offended. She might have a really good reason, especially if you are wearing your outside clothes. After all, your outside clothes have likely been exposed to many public surfaces.
This is an even more scary thought after the p-a-n-d-e-m-i-c. Why would you want those outside clothes touching your bed, a sacred place you go to at night? But does the thought of being grossed out by outside clothes on one’s bed have merit? Let’s take a look.
1. Outside clothes have been everywhere. Literally.
Just take a moment to think about what your outside clothes have touched: subway seats, office chairs, bar stools, elevator walls, park benches … Now think of how many more people have been on those seats! Would you invite them to sit on your bed? After you start noticing what your clothes touch on the streets, you’ll think twice before letting someone’s outside clothes touch your bed.
2. Bacteria cling to the body like glue
Bacteria can live for weeks or even months on your clothes, according to Philip Tierno, MD, director of Microbiology and Immunology at New York University. Tierno adds, that even brand-new clothes can still be contaminated with germs, so it’s definitely a good idea to take off the shirt you’ve been walking around for 12 hours in, before sitting on the bed. This rule should apply to your guests as well.
3. Wearing your outside clothes on your bed can cause infections, rashes, acne, and even bring in fleas.
One of the reasons we often see acne on our back and chest is due to greasy clothes, which gather street and office dust, sweat, and dead skin — in general, the human body sheds approximately half a million skin cells and about a liter of sweat daily. And your bed can be a great transportation hub for all that dirt.
4. Your bed is a zone of comfort and safety.
You should be comfortable wrapping yourself in your blanket and hugging your pillow, as it’s a place for you to relax and gain energy. The Division of Sleep Medicine at Harvard advises, for example, to not work in bed and spend time with friends in the kitchen or in the living room instead. So the brain associates the bed with relaxation and comfort, which is a great contribution to healthy sleep.
Needless to say, it’s best to refrain from mixing outside clothes with your bed. Instead, opt to switch to inside clothes once you get home to keep those germs and bacteria at bay.

Blog: Woolly words
Leonie Barrie | 25 July 2005
A war of words broke out at the weekend after the Chinese misinterpreted a news release issued by the US government. CITA (the Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements) said it wanted to wait until July 31, 2005 to decide whether or not to limit imports of men’s and boys’ wool trousers from China – but Chinese officials misunderstood it to mean the US had decided to impose a new quota.
“This unilateral action of the United States will bring more difficulties to later talks after the two sides have carried out active consultations in the Joint Commission on Trade and Commerce,” said Chong Quan, spokesperson at the China Ministry of Commerce. The Chinese added that they are firmly opposed to the “groundless” US decision to launch safeguard measures against Chinese woollen trousers, saying it will make further consultations between the two sides tougher.
Unfortunately this denouncement was also picked up by international media sources – leading to various confused reports in the news today. So to eliminate any confusion, here are the facts: the US has NOT yet decided to reimpose quotas on woollen trousers.

I caught up with reading all of the Sumptuous Surfaces lessons this weekend and stitched my second piece. This one is more colorful and is an abstract design. It represents a lightening bolt in a rain storm. I have had lots of opportunities to watch both lightening and rain recently and I thought that it would be good way to experiment with layered stitching and beading. I used some shiny pearlized stone beads, silver bugle beads, and two sizes of seed beads. Some of the pearlized beads reflected the flash when I took the picture.
I finished my first knitted sock. I used the Rainbow Ripple pattern that is available free from Opal Yarns. The sock fits my size 8.5 (US) foot perfectly. Now I just need to knit the other sock so that I can wear them.
I also finished my first knitted dish cloth. It is really a lace sample knitted in Bernat's organic cotton but you can't tell. If I look very closely, I can see the strawberry pattern but it does not photograph well. I think I will try one more with a different lace pattern and if that one is still too hard to see, I will try larger needles.

Old World and New World
Henry James was an American born British writer. He is regarded as one of the key figures of 19th century literary realism . He is best known for a number of novels showing Americans encountering Europe and Europeans. His method of writing from a character's point of view allowed him to explore issues related to HYPERLINK "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consciousness" \o "Consciousness" consciousness and HYPERLINK "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perception" \o "Perception" perception , and his style in later works has been compared to HYPERLINK "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impressionism" \o "Impressionism" impressionist painting . His imaginative use of HYPERLINK "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_of_view_%28literature%29" \o "Point of view (literature)" point of view , interior monologue and unreliable narrators brought a new depth to HYPERLINK "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narrative" \o "Narrative" narrative fiction. One of the well known n ovella s from Henry James is " Daisy Miller ".
" Daisy Mille r" is a HYPERLINK "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novella" \o "Novella" novella by HYPERLINK "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_James" \o "Henry James" Henry James that first appeared in HYPERLINK "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornhill_Magazine" \o "Cornhill Magazine" Cornhill Magazine in June-July 1878, and in book form the following year . " Daisy Miller " tells the tale of a young girl, Daisy Miller, who travels around Europe unchaperoned. The story is filtered through the narrative point of view of Frederick Winterbourne, a 27 year-old American who resides in Geneva, Switzerland.
Daisy is outspoken, and straightforward, and flouts prevailing European customs and traditions, to the dismay of sophisticated Americans, like Mrs. Walker and Mrs. Costello, living in Europe. Although " Daisy Miller " might be construed as a story about a young innocent woman, the story is really about a teenage American girl who rebels against the rigid British patriarchal values. Daisy Miller is not a he lpless female gothic character . she is an independent, freedom loving heroine.
The story began In Vevey, Switzerland, a young American expatriate, Winterbourne, meets attractive, enigmatically naive Daisy Miller, an American traveling with her mother. Finding Daisy refreshing, Winterbourne escorts her to the Castle of Chillon. This outing annoys his aunt, Mrs. Costello, who believes Daisy to be uncouth and dangerous to the established social code. Meeting again in Rome, Winterbourne escorts Daisy on a walk with her new Italian acquaintance, Giovanelli, but the stroll is interrupted by Mrs. Walker, another American expatriate, who feels Daisy is ruining her reputation by associating with the handsome Giovanelli.
Daisy rejects Mrs. Walker's advice, and is subsequently shunned by American society in Rome. After a harsh exchange of words with Winterbourne, Daisy pays a rash evening visit to the Colosseum. As a result, she falls ill with fever and dies a week later. At her grave, Giovanelli assures Winterbourne of Daisy's innocence and Winterbourne realizes his love for the dead American girl, his premature judgment of her, and his own blindness in the face of European convention.
In many early works James drew from personal experience and observation to focus on per haps his most celebrated theme " T he conflict between European and American culture " . " Daisy Miller is his best-known story in this vein . T he title character is a young American woman oblivious to the social codes of the Old World. She is contrasted with the American expatriate character of Winterbourne, a man who harshly judges Daisy's alleged social transgressions at the expense of his love for her. His complex and deft portrayal is considered essential to understanding the tension between old and new, conventionality and individuality, Europe and America, and appearance and reality in the novella.
An interesting aspect of this novel is the setting. From the beginning of the book, the author makes a great introduction by situating the action, placing the reader slowly in the situation. Firstly the location is being named: "At the little town in Veney, in Switzerland", so, the place is set. The narrative technique used by the author in the first paragraphs is a very interesting one. The image is firstly enlarged and then slowly with every word, the background converges, persisting on the description of the hotel and the tourist, ending by setting the time: "a beautiful summer morning" and then concentrating on one of the novel's character: Winterbourne.

Addressing the Situation. Xavier le Roy’s Retrospective and Aesthetic Subjectivity
This chapter offers an insight into Le Roy’s ‘performed exhibition’ and argues that dance, when taking place in museums, draws the viewer’s attention to the fact that all artworks in the museum are performative in their address to spectators that bring the work about. Looking into the creation of a public in the museum space, I will unpack the public’s ongoing redefinition of the relation between aesthetics and subjectivity, which I see as a way of producing a notion of aesthetic subjectivity. The chapter ultimately shows how the situations created in Retrospective produce a notion of aesthetic subjectivity that takes place after modernism.

Military Geography: For Professionals and the Publicby John M. Collins
- LendMe LendMe™ Learn More
This book covers many topics that are crucial to military planning but often receive only passing mention in histories or briefings. Collins, a former Army officer, stresses land geography, but he does not stint oceans, the atmosphere, or interplanetary space. His discussions of urban areas are too brief, given the increasing amount of large-scale violence in cities since the end of World War II.
"John Collins, who has spent his lifetime studying the military, has written a geography book that will become a bible for military planners, strategists, and tacticians."
"This book is a must read for those who aspire to military command and those who seek to understand success and failure in war."
"A thorough understanding of military geography is essential for true military professionals if they are to excel at the art and science of war. Every warrior should read, reread, and above all understand this landmark book on a long-neglected topic."
"The author brings a unique contribution of scholarship and real world experience to this superbly crafted, comprehensive work on military geography. Whether on foot, afloat, or at 30,000 feet above the surface, the bok brings operational relevance to all the interactions."
"John Collins has been there, done it, and written the book. This is military geography by a well-versed practitioner. My students will now have the book they crave, one that military as well as civilian scholars everywhere can respect and trust."
"Required reading for policy makers, military planners, commanders and staff officers of all levels."

Rarely does a band deliver a debut album brimming over with such imagination, aggression and tenderness but also with an added freshness to their genre, and this is one of those. I don’t say this lightly but after my initial first run through of these five tracks, I am blown away by Fuzz Meadows and have become an instant fan.
Their early King Crimson meets Fu Manchu riffage is something else with its sensitive use of feedback and harmonics plus also how interesting and dynamic this whole album is. There really is nothing I can criticise about this, their debut album Orange Sunshine. Listed as psych rock it is unfair to limit the band to one genre, there is a lot going on here that meets with stoner and post-rock too.
Kicking off with You Are The Void (great title) which is completely instrumental that offers us an intense listening experience from the off, fraught with melody, light and shade, and sheer anger. Taking us to the limit emotionally this is a great introduction to what these Melbournians are all about and where the rest of the record goes. If you are familiar with Brisbane’s Deafcult and their album Auras, a shoegaze delight, this is its 2nd cousin. Fuzz Meadows are a much heavier and intense band but drawing from a similar pool. Generally, it is hard to replicate the volume and strength of a band live on record, but whoever produced this gem has nailed it.
glistens with delay, glassy reverb, and that wall of sound standing proud and strong…
Reach takes us down a notch with a hypnotic riff and again an instrumental, reminding me of Ferment era Catherine Wheel. The title track Orange Sunshine glistens with delay, glassy reverb, and that wall of sound standing proud and strong. Screaming leads, amidst thunderous drums takes you further into the atmosphere. Amazingly for their power, this is a 3-piece band with Dom on guitar, Louis bass and Prince on drums and what a lovely racket they make. Encompassing all human emotion on a record isn’t easy and the boys have conquered that on their debut, no mean feat.
Death Echo and Benji finish off this release, never once letting the side down and maintaining a high standard throughout. So rather than me continuing to gush about this album, I suggest you read the band’s description of their sound which proclaims, ‘monolithic instrumental songs that are both crushingly heavy and transcendently beautiful’. You can’t argue with that.

Quinn's main source of income is refurbishing old computers and reselling them. She didn't have much money to renovate the old condo she'd inherited from her granny. But John Forbes offered her an exchange of services. She would build him a new computer, and save what she could from his broken old one. So the work began, normal enough, until one of the files she finds is a shocking, kinky bondage one involving him and a girl. Then she finds another!
It's impossible for the lovely young blonde not to see the big, powerful black man and not see those pictures. Especially when he works with his shirt off and his muscles glisten with sweat! Then his partner arrives to help, an identical twin brother! And soon another arrives, and she realizes they are triplets! She doesn't know which were in the pictures with submissive women tied up and serving them but she can't stop the fantasies about being one of them.
And then she is!

Neill Elementary’s Rockin’ Longhorns shine during Herd Day (11/6/2018)
FORT BEND ISD (November 6, 2018) – The Neill Elementary Longhorns gathered Friday, November 2, for their second Herd Day of the school year. During the school-wide pep rally, the Longhorns broke into their smaller teams, separated by colors and parts of the P.R.I.D.E. acronym: Perseverance, Respect, Integrity, Determination and Excellence.
But this was no typical Herd Day for Neill Elementary, thanks to music teacher Staci Waites and Christina Wells, a 2018 finalist from America’s Got Talent. Wells spoke to the students about her journey and how she had to use all of the elements of P.R.I.D.E. to find success. She encouraged the young Longhorns to never give up as they pursue their dreams as well.
The Rockin’ Longhorns will perform at the annual meeting of the Texas Music Educators Association (TMEA) in February 2019 in San Antonio. They will be the first campus-based elementary music program to perform at the premier state conference.


The third day of ThrillerFest was filled with great panels, as well as an entertaining Anne Rice interview that was conducted by her son, Christopher Rice. Check out the highlights, photos and videos below.
Fist, Knife or Gun?
- “It’s important to add vulnerability to your killer because no hero is all good and no villain is all bad.” – Wendi Corsi Staubb
- “Guns are usually the easiest way to assure someone is dead.” – Alex Berenson
- “My character isn’t setting out to kill people. So, for her, it’s about what’s available and what will work.” – Taylor Stevens
- “You take a lot of darkness into you when you write about people hurting other people. It’s really hard.” – Allison Brennan
- “You have to kill differently in different countries because of the cultures and the way people operate.” – D.L. Wilson
Keeping a Series Character Fresh
- “My Davenport character has been around for more than 20 years. The way I handle it is he ages slower than everyone else.” – John Sanford
- “I loved my Charlie Hood series. But I didn’t want to be beholden to it. So, I decided to end it with my most recent book. I love the blank page, and I had to close one door to open another.” – T. Jefferson Parker
- “Paul Christopher appeared out of nowhere, and I never expected to see him again.” – Charles McCarry
- “In 10 books I’ve aged my character only one year because policemen retire at a certain age. But culturally I’ve moved the books along with each iteration.” – Peter James
- “I wanted to keep my character in an age frame that was believable as a prosecutor, so I aged her very slowly. And I think readers go along with that.” – Linda Fairstein
- “If Jessica Fletcher aged accurately, she’d be 175 years old. But I haven’t aged her a day.” – Donald Bain
Plotter or Pantser?
- “I’m bi – sometimes I outline, sometimes I don’t.” – Michael Stanley

- “Outlining is meant to help where you’re going, not mandate how you get there.” – Michael Robertson
- “43% of people put down thrillers because they run out of gas.” – Rick Anderson
- “I was a trial lawyer for many years and lived by the outline. Now I’m a loud and proud pantser.” – Joel Goldman

Charlie Simpson today announces his second solo album ‘Long Road Home’ to be released on July 14th.
The anticipated follow up album to his debut solo offering ‘Young Pilgrim’ which went straight into the Top Ten in 2011. Charlie has also revealed he will play his largest headline show to date at the 3000 capacity Roundhouse in London on October 14th with tickets available from Friday 2nd May at 9 am - http://bit.ly/1mD4Pdb
‘Long Road Home’ is an exquisite collection of self-penned refreshing confessionals, Charlie’s distinctive and smoky vocals combined with the raw acoustic delivery of instrumentation - piano, drums and guitars - makes for a intimate and passionate anthology. The first track taken from the album is ‘Winter Hymns’ which is available to download on pre-ordering the album from Charlie’s webstore & iTunes.
After taking some time off in 2012, Charlie was revitalised. “I came back home pretty drunk one night and I started recording this song. I don’t really remember it,” he admits. “But I woke up in the morning and was like, wow, that’s really good.” The song was Emily, an acoustic, high-harmony love-letter that touches the soul. “And that slowly eased me back into it.” He wrote eight songs, then went into Reel World Studios near Bath with his dream producer Steve Osborne. The songs Winter Hymns (Nick Drake-like simplicity, intimacy and strings-led beauty) and Blood (anthemic, pounding, impassioned) are ear-tingling examples of the feeling, the sensation, that Charlie pursued with relish after suffering a spell of writers block following the penning of ‘Young Pilgrim’, “it was almost like I’d just thrown everything out and spilled my guts for that first solo record”.
“This was the hardest record I’ve ever had to make, no question,” he admits. “There were points where I was like, am I going end up with an album that I really love here? And that makes it feel all the sweeter now that I’ve come out with something I’m proud of. I love the album more because of all that. I feel like it was an album I had to fight for.”
To preview the release of ‘Long Road Home’ Charlie will be playing a handful of intimate sold out shows across the country in May, as well as playing at the Roundhouse on October 14th.

1/1 Photo of Baked Chicken Delicious
1 hr 10 mins
We really like the flavor of this easy chicken dish. The aroma that fills the house is fantastic! It's not a quicky but most of the time it's in the oven so you're not actually doing anything but waiting. I like to serve this with buttered egg-noodles. If you like chicken cacciatore, give this one a try- it's kinda in the same family.
