2012 Next Generation Leaders donate supplies to a school in Tanzania

There are children living in the underserved neighborhoods of our country who face enormous challenges, including finishing high school and going on to become successful in college. In Boston, there are seven remarkable young people who are working hard to accomplish these goals, and then they are going a step further—using their skills to help their peers in another land.

The seven Boston students are Grand Circle Foundation's Next Generation Leaders (NGL) Class of 2012. Launched by Foundation chair Harriet Lewis in 2007, the NGL program helps college-bound seniors from underserved neighborhoods prepare for the future using a more impactful course than simply awarding scholarships. The program consists of a seven-week paid summer internship focusing on skill development, leadership training, and outdoor team-building events, followed by a nine-day excursion to Tanzania.

To Harriet, incorporating travel into the program helps to "level the playing field" among their college peers for students who have faced challenges growing up in underserved Boston neighborhoods. "When the Next Generation Leaders arrive at college and others speak of studying abroad or traveling this summer, being able to say, 'I went to Africa,' may change how these students are perceived by others," she says.

As part of their preparation for their Africa adventure in July, this year's NGL class held a fundraiser for Northern Tanzania's Tloma Primary School, which they plan to visit. The Tloma school serves more than 650 students, ages five to 14, with an annual budget of $622—less than $1 per student for the entire year.

The NGL team decided they would not arrive at the school empty handed, so they organized a two-pronged fundraiser. Between June 26 and June 29, they held a collection drive for school supplies and recreational toys, and on June 28, they led a bake sale to raise funds for the community service they plan to provide during their visit: namely, painting and renovating school classrooms.

Their goal was to fill nine duffle bags with donations. Through posters, emails, and canvassing their colleagues at Grand Circle Corporation headquarters in Boston and organizations throughout the city, they surpassed their own expectations. Not only did they fill nine duffle bags with jump ropes, chalk, bubbles, school supplies, pencils, crayons, flash cards, books, footballs, and baseballs, they also raised $1,685.80 toward their renovation project. Plus, Seacoast United, a New Hampshire soccer club, donated an additional 50 soccer balls and 44 pairs of cleats to the cause.

Grand Circle Foundation salutes this team of NGLs for their drive and initiative, which enabled them to learn planning, organization, marketing, and other valuable skills in the service of others. We are confident that these skills will serve them well as they go on to pursue what will surely be successful futures.

Tokyo motor show 2017 – The Kawasaki Ninja 250 revealed

A company backed by Nest co-founder Tony Fadell is taking Andy Rubin's startup to court.

That the all-new Ninja 400 will be showcased at the 2017 Tokyo Motor Show wasn’t half as surprising as the fact that a brand-new Ninja 250 stood next to it, waiting to be unveiled as well. So while the Ninja 400 will replace the aging Ninja 300 (finally!), the Ninja 250 will add more zing to the lower end of the entry-level sports bike segment. The new for 2018 Kawasaki Ninja 250 uses an arrangement similar to what it had a few years ago – a high-strung, 249cc, liquid-cooled, parallel-twin cylinder engine, mated to a six-speed gearbox. What’s new is the power output. The new Ninja 250 will offer a whopping 39-PS of power, equal to what the Ninja 300 offers presently, along with 23.5Nm of torque.’

A kerb weight of 167kg should thus make for an interesting power to weight ratio. On the design front, the Ninja 250 looks comparable to the larger Ninja 400 from the front but does not get any graphics like it. Of course, this time around the Ninja 250 looks way sharper and sportier than it ever did, particularly thanks to the twin headlamp setup.

The 2018 Ninja 250 features a reshaped fairing which expands the aerodynamics of the motorcycle. The fairing features integrated turn indicators, silver accents and the sliders has been moved down as opposed to the previous model. We also liked the front turn pointers that are now combined into the fairing, making for a cleaner look. On the whole, the new Ninja 250 is larger in size and appearance which makes it more appealing.
We’re not sure if Kawasaki will launch the new generation Ninja 250 in India though, especially since with its powertrain the Ninja 250 will be an expensive proposition in the quarter-litre sports bike space.
It was expected that the 2018 Ninja 250 would be equipped with the upside down front forks, but the sports motorbike retains the conventional telescopic forks. The tail section has been slightly reshaped and features a bigger cowl and a newly designed tail light.

Message from the Director

Creating opportunities. Broadening access. Encouraging participation. You’ve heard these descriptors for quite some time as we apply an equity lens on how we do outreach and engagement. Now we are starting to see the fruits of our labor - literally “seeing” - as we roll out some videos.

As the Department of Neighborhoods (DON) continues to focus on those key actions - creating, broadening, and encouraging - we are bringing new tools online. We understand that we cannot force people to participate BUT we can make it easier. And that’s why we have been busy behind the scenes building a new Community Resource Hub (coming soon) and creating a series of videos. We are doing this work because we know not everyone can attend an open house or forum to learn about various resources. Those constraints shouldn’t hamper your ability to get involved.

Our Neighborhood Matching Fund (NMF) team has been hosting open houses over the years throughout the city, letting people know about our NMF program. And now, in addition to these meetings, we have an introductory video that educates people about the program. Educating, informing, and turning obstacles into opportunities. That’s DON!

We have so many fabulous resources available for communities throughout the city. We hope these types of videos let even more people know about them. So, here’s to new tools and new ways of engaging. We hope you enjoy.

Croatia has good border relations with both Italy and Slovenia. For this reason it is easy to travel between these countries. It is famous for its swimming beaches and mountainous national parks. Arguably the most naturally beautiful of these is the Plitvice National Park. There are many UNESCO world heritage sites in the towns and country alike.

Whilst Croatian train services are improving, some routes are quicker by bus and more pleasant by the, often longer ferry. It is quite straightforward to get to Croatia in the first place. Croatia is accessible by overland transport, through international rail services to/from Berlin, Vienna, Budapest and others. Buses also run from Italy, with daily services departing from Rome and Venice.

Once inside the country, travelling overland is easiest by bus or ferry, as the national rail service is still improving.

The Croatian Railways website has up-to-date information on some of the country's routes.

A variety of ferry companies serve the network of islands off the coast of Croatia, including:

  • Jadrolinja;
  • SNAV; and
  • Azzura Lines.

Myron Noodleman Becomes Clown Prince of Baseball

Tulsan Myron Noodleman, a baseball entertainment mainstay since 1992, known as “The World’s Funniest Nerd,” received the ceremonial honor of Clown Prince of Baseball in November during the fourth Veeck Promotional Seminar at the Hilton Head Marriott Beach and Golf Resort in Hilton Head, South Carolina.

Mike Veeck bestowed the honor upon Noodleman when he performed for the general session.

One of the most-booked traveling acts in the country, Noodleman is the fourth Clown Prince in a long lineage of baseball and entertainment royalty.

His three-piece suit with high waters, slick moves and creative dances with players, coaches, umpires, and fans have caught the attention of young and old alike.

The last to reign was Max Patkin, who was appointed Clown Prince by Mike’s father, Hall of Fame promotional legend Bill Veeck. Patkin began his big league career performing for Veeck’s teams to help build attendance. He would coach first base in his trademark over-sized uniform, entertaining crowds for 50 years before his retirement in 1995.

When asked who should be the person to choose the next Clown Prince, Bill Veeck’s former General Manager Roland Hemond replied “Mike Veeck.”

Walter Arlington “Arlie” Latham was the first Clown Prince. His antics included firecrackers under third base, candle lighting in the dugout and on-field acrobatics a century before Ozzie Smith.

Next in line was Al Schacht whose costume consisted of baseball uniform pants, a battered top hat and tattered tuxedo tails coat.

Noodleman, a former math teacher at Union High School, is among a group of zany sports entertainers affiliated with Tulsa-based SRO Productions. Jon Terry, president of SRO, is among the vendors who were present for the seminar’s fully integrated trade show. The trade show featured leaders in the areas of promotional items, manufacturing, service industry, and many others.

The three-day seminar featured distinguished sports marketing professionals in a “hands on” atmosphere. From keynote presentations to interactive breakout forums, the seminar offered a wide array of topics in an environment that reflects Veeck’s “Fun Is Good” motto.

The fourth Veeck Promotional Seminar was presented by Melrose Pyrotechnics, HOK Sport+Event+Venue, Daktronics, and Baseball America.

Attendees were introduced to Mike Veeck’s “Fun is Good” attitude—a concept that has developed into his upcoming “Fun is Good” book, co-authored with Pete Williams. The book will be released April 11, 2005.

Seminar attendees received the most sought-after sports collectible this year, the Grady Little bobble-arm doll. As seen in the June 7 issue of Sports Illustrated, the Grady Little bobble-arm doll was originally scheduled as a Brockton Rox promotional giveaway that was cancelled due to negative fan feedback. Its appearance in Sports Illustrated created an instantaneous collectible market for the doll.

For information on Myron Noodleman, please contact Jon Terry at 492-2503, or by e-mail at

Sociophonetic Readings

Welcome to the Sociophonetic Readings!

Language is an ever varied and constantly changing product of the human experience. Language is shaped and reshaped by the individual and groups of individuals that are using and negotiating linguistic norms and practices. The sociolinguists and sociophoneticians among us are interested in the mechanisms of how language is used, perceived and negotiated by society. We use language to express ourselves and our ideas, but language is also produced and perceived to indicate social identity, group affiliation, region of origin, ethnic background and other similar characteristics. Several main threads of interest in sociolinguistics include:

  • What motivates linguistic variation and change?
  • How do such linguistic norms and practices get established and propagated by the individual or groups of individuals?
  • How can we empirically examine social constructs to better understand how language is produced/perceived?

At present, this group is focused on examining the nature of sound change in English spoken in Western Lower Michigan, particularly as it relates to the Northern Cities Vowel Shift.

Martha Stewart

In her time, Martha Stewart (1941-) was the epitome of the American Dream, an entrepreneur who turned a flair for gracious living and an insatiable appetite for perfection into a highly successful career as a lifestyle expert: teaching the arts of cooking, gardening, crafts and home decoration, to millions of American women. Stewart, however, was also the epitome of the American Dream gone bad, demonstrating the immense pride and separation from reality that inevitably comes before a long, hard fall.

Martha Stewart, born Martha Kostyra, was the second of six children in a Polish-American family. She grew up in a working class neighborhood in the small town of Nutley, New Jersey. Her father was strict, demanding, temperamental, and disappointed with life; her mother (also named Martha) was a cold, unhappy, resentful housewife. This volatile combination of parental forces, along with the constant threat of poverty, imbued Stewart with a permanent yearning for power and comfort, desires that would manifest themselves as an endless devotion to perfection and a chronic, insatiable ambition for material success.

In an attempt to fulfill these needs, Stewart consciously developed herself in three ways. First, she learned to how to achieve her goals with the single-mindedness of a charging rhinoceros. Second, she became enormously skillful in the domestic arts, developing powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men (and women). Finally, she turned herself into the public authority on Gracious Living, Along the way, Stewart reinvented her childhood for public consumption, fantasizing about the happy, loving family life she never had. In later years, Stewart would do the same thing with her adult life, portraying her husband, daughter Alexis, and herself as living an ever-so-happy and perfect domestic existence, an image that was far from the truth. In 1987, for example, her husband of 26 years, Andy Stewart, moved out to live with Martha's former assistant. (The actual divorce came three years later.)

Stewart reinvented her childhood for public consumption, fantasizing about the happy, loving family life she never had. In later years, she would do the same thing with her adult life

However, as much as her public image and private demons may have conflicted with reality, there is no gainsaying that Stewart was a highly innovative businesswoman, boldly going where no man (or woman) had gone before. In 1982, she burst into the American consciousness with her first book "Martha Stewart Entertaining" (which was published by her husband's company). In 1987, she signed a lucrative deal with the giant retailer Kmart to develop an exclusive line of low-cost, but tasteful, merchandise. In 1991, she published her first magazine, "Martha Stewart Living", and in 1993, debuted her first TV show, also called "Martha Stewart Living". In 1997, Stewart established her own company, Martha Stewart Omnimedia.

Within a short time, she expanded her eponymous and seemingly ubiquitous business far beyond the traditional boundaries of domestic merchandising. The Martha Stewart brand name was attached, not only to books, magazines and TV shows, but to radio spots, a newspaper column, a large mail-order/Internet business, as well as the thriving Kmart product lines. In 1999, Stewart took her company public making her, on paper, a freshly minted, yet tasteful, billionaire, the reigning queen of domestic consumption. However, it was not to last.

On June 4, 2003, Stewart and her stock broker, Peter Bacanovic, were indicted on federal securities charges. (The indictment stemmed from lies that Stewart had told during an investigation of insider trading.) On the same day, Stewart resigned as Chairman and CEO of Martha Stewart Omnimedia. On March 5, 2004, Stewart and Bacanovic were convicted of several charges: conspiracy, making false statements, and obstruction of justice. Stewart's personal empire began to crumble, forcing her to resign as an officer and board member of her own company.

On July 16, 2004, Stewart was sentenced to 5 months in prison, followed by 5 months home arrest and 2 years probation (to be served concurrently). She was also fined $30,000. Bacanovic received the same sentence, but with a smaller fine. Barely four months later, on October 8, 2004, an unrepentant Stewart — newly rechristened as U.S. federal prisoner #55170054 — surrendered to officials at Alderson Federal Prison Camp in West Virginia to begin serving her sentence.

So what does the story of Martha Stewart have to teach us? With respect to homemaking, Stewart inspired millions of women to cultivate a desire for quality and to pay attention to details. In a real sense, the time-consuming, but satisfying, activities she offered her followers were a marvelous antidote to the plague of instant living that infects our modern culture. Stewart was, without a doubt, not only a domestic goddess, but a very smart, talented, and competent businesswoman. However, she was also a disorganized, short-tempered, pathologically demanding tyrant and, when the legal and business dust had settled, it was clear that Stewart was nothing less than a tragic victim of her own hubris, demonstrating fatal flaws that would make even Sophocles sit up and take notice.

other humans

Recent research has shown it’s fairly likely that Neanderthals, and by implication Denisovans, had full language capabilities. I don’t mean semi–articulate grunts, I mean the they had the same capabilities for complete speech as we do. This means, for a long period of human existence, our species wasn’t the only walking talking humans on our planet.

The last few years have also seen a significant increase in the numbers of known homo species. The number has doubled since the beginning of the century. There is genetic evidence that there may be more to be discovered. It is now clear that in our prehistory, we shared the planet with a number of relatively similar species. There used to be many types of human.

This has left me wondering whether it is entirely coincidental that we create, and continue to create, stories of other human–like species. Do we have an instinct to do so?

Some of us have automatic reactions to certain kinds of creatures. Many people are scared of spiders. These include people in northern Europe, where there are no dangerous spiders. Clearly the fear there is not based on local experience. It seems to be built in to us, part of the human condition. Given the danger presented by spiders in some parts of the world, I can see the evolutionary advantage in not losing that fear. The same point can be made about snakes. In other words, we have automatic reactions to things that are clearly instinctive and inherited. Whether they’re genetic, epigenetic, or cultural inheritance, or some combination thereof, I wouldn’t like to guess.

These responses to snakes and spiders are instinctive reactions to particular kinds of creatures. But we humans have culture, and culture can preserve and pass on more sophisticated ideas and concepts. We have myths that describe how to treat certain kinds of animals, myths that might help if such an animal is encountered. For example, the childrens’ story Little Red Riding Hood makes it clear that wolves are dangerous. The three bears shows that bears can be rather nasty too. Other myths and songs reveal the dangers of diseases; ring a ring a roses refers to the black death. Myths would have had great value in propagating life–saving information in pre–writing cultures.

So is it plausible that myths to deal with extinct creatures, would themselves survive? I suspect not; culturally they would have little value—unless there was something else keeping them fresh.

I wonder whether it might be that we humans still had some instinct to be careful with other human–like species? If so, that might provide the value that keeps the myths afloat.

Now, keeping the myths afloat is one thing, accuracy is something quite different. If there is anything in this idea, I utterly doubt that there is any accuracy in our contemporary view of other human–like species, even if the tropes could be shoe–horned onto particular extinct species. Just consider another mythical animal, the unicorn. Even if this isn’t invented, but is a myth based on an extinct creature, it is very very different from the only plausible candidate animals—in the case of the unicorn, it’s an extinct Asian Rhinoceros, the Elasmotherium, which was still around 29,000 years ago, so would have been seen by early humanity. An Elasmotherium was a huge rhinoceros, with a horn roughly the height of a small bus, not a delicate pony with a horn to give a young lady battery–free ideas.

Of course, the continuing strange human creatures in myths might actually be coded references to other cultures, a side–stepping euphemism for racism, to allow caricatures to be reused while concealing the calling card of lazy racist hyper–simplification. There are indeed stories where other creatures are used as a substitute for other human skin colours are sometimes promote racism (much early science fiction), and sometimes work against it (such as JK Rowling). But they’re just symbols: the same trope species continue despite changing world balance, despite the differences in who has what power when and where. Still, such things might well help keep the underlying instincts alive, presuming they exist at all.

Anyway, I find the continuing discoveries of more homo species interesting, and the discovery that our long ancestors shared this world with them absolutely fascinating. Although I suspect it’s possible that our fascinating with faux–human characters in myths and storytelling is connected, I very much doubt that any of the characterisation is even vaguely correct. Those other human species might explain the fascination, but the tropes are all ours.

Bucks County Council Pothole Reporting

Published on Wed 17th January 2018 Parish Council, Community News

This winter’s weather has been tough on Buckinghamshire’s roads – while the heavy snowfall in December was the most remarkable weather event, the worst conditions for roads are actually when the ground temperature fluctuates constantly between just above and just below zero. Pothole formation is accelerated by this ‘freeze-thaw’ effect, whereby moisture gets into small cracks in the the road surface and expands when it freezes, then thaws out when the temperature rises. This process repeats until the road surface begins to break up and potholes are formed.

Hazlemere Fete 2018 Appeal for Helpers PLEASE

Published on Wed 29th November 2017 Community News

The 2017 (157th) Hazlemere Fete was considered to be a great success, helped partly by the excellent weather and a number of records were broken: – the 2017 Fete achieved the biggest attendance ever – with a record 115 stalls, events and attractions --although one aim of the Fete is to enable stallholders to make money, the Fete itself achieved a record gross income of over £13,000. After expenses this enabled the Fete Committee to distribute almost £4,000 to 12 good causes. See the Fete website for full details (search “Hazlemere Fete”) – 7,000 96 page brochures were distributed to local households by 42 volunteers. – 24 sign boards / banners were erected and 55,000 flyers delivered by a local Estate Agent – around 1,200 Food servings were made on the day

Hazlemere Fete 2018 How is it Helping Charities?

Published on Wed 29th November 2017 Community News

Good question! And the answer is….that isn’t the bit that helps the good causes. The help is two fold - It is the profit that can be carved up that helps them and you have to speculate to accumulate as they say. This year that amounted to 31% of turnover, a figure that many businesses can only dream of.

the power penguins

You may have noticed over the last few days that conservation - especially of our seas - is close to my heart. It's so important to take action to clean up the planet now, as it’s already getting too late. I’ve been to beautiful, remote and even uninhabited islands and seen plastics washed up from all over the world.

That is terrifying. A plastic bottle can take up to 450 years to break down in the marine environment - and there are billions out there floating around the seas. The vast majority of marine animal species from plankton to killer whales have been found to ingest plastic - meaning not only that it kills them, but often works its what into our food chain. Plastic for Christmas dinner anyone?! The problem is bad and its getting worst. Since the first survey over 20 years ago (1994), plastic litter on UK beaches has increased by 180%!

So, after all these depressing statistics I’m rounding up the last few days of conservation gifts with The Power Penguins. A group of kids that have come together to write and record a song to support support Surfers Against Sewage ‘Seas for Life’ campaign.

Where the magic happened

They met at Somersault festival in the summer where London based artist, Milly Upton held a songwriting workshop with the children attendees of the festival who visited the Surfers Against Sewage (SAS) tent. The workshop went down a storm, resulting in their song ‘commotion in the ocean’ about  Marine Litter being performed by the newly named The Power Penguins on the SAS stage before the main act on the Saturday evening.

They’ve since recorded and released the single with money raised going directly towards helping more schools and young people to get involved with the Big Spring Beach Clean - with your help they aim to raise £7500. This money will enable SAS to provide 50 schools across the UK with;

  • A Special Seas For Life education resources so they can learn about the problems that our oceans face.
  • Their own Big Spring Beach Cleaners equipment packs
  • Seas For Life stickers and certificates for every student who gets involved
  • A signed version of Commotion in the Ocean and a Power Penguins poster

So its a tiddler in terms of cost for you (just 79p) but will help raise money to do great things - and put some big smiles on the power penguins faces if the song becomes a hit. Do your bit and buy now - you can even gift it to someone via the iTunes store too.

Learn more about what Surfers Against Sewage are doing to fight ocean litter here.
You can also learn more about cleaning up our oceans on my post about 2 minute beach clean - and find some pretty great gift Ideas there. Finally - for more gift ideas from a company that are doing good for the planet make sure you check out Knit Knot!

Message of Pope John Paul II to the Carmelite Family on the 750th Anniversary of the Bestowal of the Scapular

 To the Most Reverend Fathers

Joseph Chalmers
Prior General of the Order of Brothers
of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Mount Carmel (O.Carm.)

Camilo Maccise
Superior General of the Order of Discalced Brothers
of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Mount Carmel (O.C.D.)

1. The providential event of grace, which the Jubilee Year has been for the Church, prompts her to look with trust and hope to the journey we have just begun in the new millennium. "At the beginning of this new century", I wrote in the Apostolic Letter Novo millennio ineunte, "our steps must quicken.... On this journey we are accompanied by the Blessed Virgin Mary, to whom ... I entrusted the third millennium" (n. 58).

I therefore learned with deep joy that the two branches of the Order of Carmel, the ancient and the reformed, intend to express their filial love for their Patroness by dedicating the year 2001 to her, invoked as the Flower of Carmel, Mother and Guide on the way of holiness. In this regard, I cannot fail to stress a happy coincidence:  the celebration of this Marian year for the whole of Carmel is taking place, according to a venerable tradition of the Order itself, on the 750th anniversary of the bestowal of the Scapular. This celebration is therefore a marvellous occasion for the entire Carmelite Family to deepen not only its Marian spirituality, but to live it more and more in the light of the place which the Virgin Mother of God and of mankind holds in the mystery of Christ and the Church, and therefore to follow her who is the "Star of Evangelization" (cf. Novo millennio ineunte, n. 58).

2. In their journey towards the "mountain of God, Christ the Lord" (Roman Missal, Opening Prayer of the Mass in honour of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, 16 July), the various generations of Carmel, from the beginning until today, have sought to model their lives on Mary's example.
In Carmel therefore and in every soul moved by tender affection for the Blessed Virgin and Mother, there has thrived a contemplation of her, who from the beginning knew how to open herself to hearing God's Word and to obeying his will (Lk 2: 19, 51). For Mary, taught and formed by the Spirit (cf. Lk 2: 44-50), was able by faith to understand her own history (cf. Lk 1: 46-55) and, docile to the divine promptings, "advanced in her pilgrimage of faith, and faithfully persevered in her union with her Son unto the cross, where she stood, in keeping with the divine plan (cf. Jn 19: 25), enduring with her Only-begotten Son the intensity of his suffering and associating herself with his sacrifice in her mother's heart" (Lumen gentium, n. 58).

3. Contemplation of the Virgin presents her to us as a loving Mother who sees her Son growing up in Nazareth (cf. Lk 2: 40, 52), follows him on the roads of Palestine, helps him at the wedding at Cana (cf. Jn 2: 5) and, at the foot of the Cross, becomes the Mother associated with his offering and given to all people when Jesus himself entrusts her to his beloved disciple (cf. Jn 19: 26). As Mother of the Church, the Blessed Virgin is one with the disciples in "constant prayer" (Acts 1: 14); as the new Woman who anticipates in herself what will one day come to pass for us all in the full enjoyment of Trinitarian life, she is taken up into heaven from where she spreads the protective mantle of her mercy over her children on their pilgrimage to the holy mountain of glory.

Such a contemplative attitude of mind and heart prompts admiration for the Virgin's experience of faith and love; she already lives in herself all that every believer desires and hopes to attain in the mystery of Christ and the Church (cf. Sacrosanctum Concilium, n. 103; Lumen gentium, n. 53).

Therefore, Carmelites have chosen Mary as their Patroness and spiritual Mother and always keep before the eyes of their heart the Most Pure Virgin who guides everyone to the perfect knowledge and imitation of Christ.

Thus an intimacy of spiritual relations has blossomed, leading to an ever increasing communion with Christ and Mary. For the members of the Carmelite Family, Mary, the Virgin Mother of God and mankind, is not only a model to imitate but also the sweet presence of a Mother and Sister in whom to confide. St Teresa of Jesus rightly urged her sisters:  "Imitate Our Lady and consider how great she must be and what a good thing it is that we have her for our Patroness" (Interior Castle, III, 1, 3).

4. This intense Marian life, which is expressed in trusting prayer, enthusiastic praise and diligent imitation, enables us to understand how the most genuine form of devotion to the Blessed Virgin, expressed by the humble sign of the Scapular, is consecration to her Immaculate Heart (cf. Pius XII, Letter Neminem profecto latet [11 February 1950:  AAS 42, 1950, pp. 390-391]; Dogmatic Constitution on the Church Lumen gentium, n. 67). In this way, the heart grows in communion and familiarity with the Blessed Virgin, "as a new way of living for God and of continuing here on earth the love of Jesus the Son for his Mother Mary" (cf. Angelus Address, in Insegnamenti XI/3, 1988, p. 173). Thus, as the blessed Carmelite martyr Titus Brandsma expressed it, we are put in profound harmony with Mary the Theotokos and become, like her, transmitters of divine life:  "The Lord also sends his angel to us ... we too must accept God in our hearts, carry him in our hearts, nourish him and make him grow in us so that he is born of us and lives with us as the God-with-us, Emmanuel" (From the report of Bl. Titus Brandsma to the Mariological Congress of Tongerloo, August 1936).

Over time this rich Marian heritage of Carmel has become, through the spread of the Holy Scapular devotion, a treasure for the whole Church. By its simplicity, its anthropological value and its relationship to Mary's role in regard to the Church and humanity, this devotion was so deeply and widely accepted by the People of God that it came to be expressed in the memorial of 16 July on the liturgical calendar of the universal Church.

5. The sign of the Scapular points to an effective synthesis of Marian spirituality, which nourishes the devotion of believers and makes them sensitive to the Virgin Mother's loving presence in their lives. The Scapular is essentially a "habit". Those who receive it are associated more or less closely with the Order of Carmel and dedicate themselves to the service of Our Lady for the good of the whole Church (cf. "Formula of Enrolment in the Scapular", in the Rite of Blessing of and Enrolment in the Scapular, approved by the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, 5 January 1996). Those who wear the Scapular are thus brought into the land of Carmel, so that they may "eat its fruits and its good things" (cf. Jer 2: 7), and experience the loving and motherly presence of Mary in their daily commitment to be clothed in Jesus Christ and to manifest him in their life for the good of the Church and the whole of humanity (cf. "Formula of Enrolment in the Scapular", cit.).

Therefore two truths are evoked by the sign of the Scapular:  on the one hand, the constant protection of the Blessed Virgin, not only on life's journey, but also at the moment of passing into the fullness of eternal glory; on the other, the awareness that devotion to her cannot be limited to prayers and tributes in her honour on certain occasions, but must become a "habit", that is, a permanent orientation of one's own Christian conduct, woven of prayer and interior life, through frequent reception of the sacraments and the concrete practice of the spiritual and corporal works of mercy. In this way the Scapular becomes a sign of the "covenant" and reciprocal communion between Mary and the faithful:  indeed, it concretely translates the gift of his Mother, which Jesus gave on the Cross to John and, through him, to all of us, and the entrustment of the beloved Apostle and of us to her, who became our spiritual Mother.

6. A splendid example of this Marian spirituality, which inwardly moulds individuals and conforms them to Christ, the firstborn of many brethren, is the witness to holiness and wisdom given by so many Carmelite saints, all of whom grew up in the shadow and under the protection of their Mother.

I too have worn the Scapular of Carmel over my heart for a long time! Out of my love for our common heavenly Mother, whose protection I constantly experience, I hope that this Marian year will help all the men and women religious of Carmel and the devout faithful who venerate her with filial affection to grow in her love and to radiate to the world the presence of this Woman of silence and prayer, invoked as Mother of Mercy, Mother of Hope and Grace.

With these wishes, I gladly impart my Apostolic Blessing to all the friars, nuns, sisters and lay people of the Carmelite Family, who work so hard to spread among the people of God true devotion to Mary, Star of the Sea and Flower of Carmel!

From the Vatican, 25 March 2001.

Summer stress can make for sleepless nights

  • By Kathy Lally The Washington Post
  • Monday, July 14, 2014 2:20pm
  • Life

Summer is supposed to be a carefree time of year, with long, sunny days and breezy, sit-on-the-front-porch evenings.

Maybe not. In an online article in Prevention magazine, Shannon Rosenberg reports on a survey in which one-third of Americans described themselves as under more stress during summer than at any other time of year.

Apparently, trying to have too much fun kept them up at night.

“People associate summer with recuperating and having more time on their hands,” Uli Gal-Oz, chief executive of SleepRate, a company based in California and Israel whose smartphone app offers help to the sleepless, says in the article. But, he says, “because the days are longer, people try to do more and sleep less.”

The online SleepRate survey found that nearly half of the respondents said summer social events kept them so busy that they lost sleep time. Many — 69 percent — said they often scheduled three social occasions a week in the summer.

And of course parents have added burdens, with summer interrupting school and day-care schedules, requiring ever more inventive planning. Hot weather can also affect sleep, with 80 percent saying they sleep better in cool weather.

And don’t get us started on vacations that bring on jet lag.

Prevention passes on this advice from Gal-Oz: Settle on a regular morning wake-up time, seven days a week year-round, giving your body some consistency.

The Sleep Cycle app, which uses your iPhone’s accelerometer, follows your movements in bed to track your sleeping patterns. The app produces detailed stats noting when you were awake, or in deep or light sleep. The app costs 99 cents and is available in the iTunes App Store.

NBA owners reject Kings move to Seattle

  • By Schuyler Dixon Associated Press
  • Wednesday, May 15, 2013 4:20pm
  • SportsSports

DALLAS — The Kings are staying in Sacramento, and Seattle will have to wait for another NBA franchise.

As for the ownership question that has kept the Kings in limbo for years, Commission David Stern wants it settled now.

League owners voted Wednesday to follow the recommendation of their relocation committee and reject an aggressive bid to move the Kings, and Stern promptly announced that he hoped to have a deal in place in 48 hours with a group that wants to buy the team from the Maloof brothers.

“And now we think that because the Maloofs have overall been very good for Sacramento and the Kings and the NBA, that they will be motivated to do something fast so that the franchise can get cracking,” Stern said.

The 22-8 vote by the Board of Governors rejected a deal that would have sold a 65 percent controlling interest at a total franchise valuation of $625 million to a Seattle group led by investor Chris Hansen, who boosted the offer twice after the NBA showed an unwillingness to relocate.

Now the Maloofs will try to complete a deal at $525 million — still topping the NBA record of $450 million — with a group put together by Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson, a former All-Star guard, and fronted by TIBCO software chairman Vivek Ranadive. The plan includes a new downtown arena.

“The committee decided — didn’t have any preconceived notions — but looking at both evenly they said that the edge went to the incumbent, so that’s the way it came out,” Stern said.

The vote ended an emotional saga that has dragged on for nearly three years. Hansen had hoped to move the franchise and rename it the SuperSonics, who were moved to Oklahoma City in 2008 and renamed the Thunder.

Stern praised Hansen’s proposal and said the NBA might consider expansion once a new TV deal is in place, but said “we don’t have anything concrete.”

“Our day will come, and when it does, it will just be that much sweeter for the struggle,” Hansen said.

It’s the second time since 2011 that the Maloof brothers have made plans that would have ended in relocation for the Kings. The first target was Anaheim, Calif., but Johnson convinced the NBA to give the city another chance to finance a new arena.

Johnson delivered on a promise for a plan for a new downtown arena with help from Stern, but the Maloofs backed out, saying it didn’t make financial sense.

The Maloofs had another surprise when they announced a deal in January with Hansen’s group, which includes Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer and members of the Nordstrom department store family.

Johnson fought back again, this time lining up an ownership group led Ranadive and getting the Sacramento City Council to approve a non-binding financing plan for a $447 million arena with a $258 million public subsidy.

The potential Sacramento ownership group also includes 24 Hour Fitness founder Mark Mastrov, former Facebook senior executive Chris Kelly and the Jacobs family that owns communications giant Qualcomm.

Seattle has been without an NBA franchise since the SuperSonics moved. Led by star Kevin Durant, the Thunder have made the playoffs four straight seasons, reached the Western Conference finals in 2011 and lost to Miami in last year’s NBA finals.

Hansen spent nearly two years working to get an arena plan approved by the city and county governments and spent more than $65 million buying land in Seattle’s SoDo neighborhood where the arena would be built. Hansen has a five-year memorandum of understanding with the city and county on the arena plan.

A small crowd at a Seattle restaurant was subdued as word spread that the team was staying put, while horns blared and cheers erupted from bars in Sacramento.

“In Kevin Johnson we trust,” said season ticket holder Jim Amen, who wore the jersey of No. 16 Peja Stojakovic, the Kings’ first-round draft pick in 1996. “This meant a lot to our city. It’s not just about basketball, but about revitalizing our downtown.”

Arthritis and Natural Ways to Deal With it.

Diseases of the muscles and bones are among the most common of all human afflictions, affecting all ages, but becoming more prevalent with years. Government surveys indicate in the United States approximately 33% of adults currently suffer from troublesome arthritis with symptoms of swelling, limitation of motion, or pain. Approximately half of all people over 65 years report having arthritis. The regions of the body most affected are the neck, lower back, hip and shoulder. https://www.drmcdougall.com/health/education/health-science/featured-articles/articles/diet-only-hope-for-arthritis/

Importance of Exercise.

By Dr. Mercola

‘Osteoarthritis is a degenerative form of arthritic joint disease, characterized by loss of cartilage in the joint. It also has an inflammatory component. Osteoarthritis is a frequent cause of disability among seniors, affecting 20 million people in the U.S. Alone. While osteoarthritis typically involves the distal joints on your fingers and toes, knee and hip osteoarthritis is also common, the latter of which is the focus of this article. Contrary to popular belief, if you have osteoarthritis then exercise is absolutely crucial to your well-being. Unfortunately, many with joint pain shun exercise. According to previous research, over 40 percent of men and 56 percent of women with osteoarthritis don’t even get 10 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous activity per week. Less than 13 percent of men and less than 8 percent of women met the guideline of 150 minutes of moderate-intensity, low-impact activity per week.

According to the lead researcher, “The fact that so many people with arthritis are inactive should be a wake-up call to physicians.”Indeed, if physicians could instill the importance of exercise to their arthritis patients, many would benefit immensely.” http://fitness.mercola.com/sites/fitness/archive/2016/01/08/hip-osteoarthritis-exercises.aspx?e_cid=20160108Z1_DNL_art_1&utm_source=dnl&utm_medium=email&utm_content=art1&utm_campaign=20160108Z1&et_cid=DM94409&et_rid=1304096219

Physical therapy is beneficial. People with arthritis often have stiff joints — largely because they avoid movements that can increase pain. By not moving arthritic joints, however, the stiffness and pain only get worse. Therefore, people with arthritis often benefit from physical therapy http://www.webmd.com/osteoarthritis/guide/physical-occupational-therapy-devices

Obesity. More than two-thirds (68.8 percent) of adults are considered to be overweight or obese. More than one-third (35.7 percent) of adults are considered to be obese. More than 1 in 20 (6.3 percent) have extreme obesity. Almost 3 in 4 men (74 percent) are considered to be overweight or obese.  Arthritis rates are more than twice as high in obese people as those who are normal weight, because the extra weight puts more pressure on your joints. This can not only lead to osteoarthritis, it can also make the condition exponentially worse.

Dangers of medications. Many people think that over-the-counter pain relievers must be harmless because they are available without a prescription. But repeated use of these drugs can damage your stomach, kidneys or liver. http://www.mayoclinic.org/arthritis-pain-medications/expert-answers/faq-20058391

So what do you do to prevent arthritis and to deal with it if you have it already?

Just by watching TV arthritis drug commercial you have an impression that there are more harm than good from using the drugs that pharma is pushing. Just listen to possible side effects.

35 drugs we could find that have been recalled from the US market since the 1970s, some that had been in use since the 1930s. A sample of advertisements for only some of the drugs are included because there is a scarcity of ads for withdrawn drugs online due to manufacturers removing ads for withdrawn drugs as part of the agreement to no longer market the drugs.” http://prescriptiondrugs.procon.org/view.resource.php?resourceID=005528

Natural remedies summary

Move, exercise. Swim if you can, walk, do yoga (the best you can).

Try physical therapy

Healthy diet: avoid: milk, sugar, fried food, too much red meat, too much salt, processed food, smoking

Eat more colorful vegetables, fish(like salmon), whole grain, use good virgin olive oil, nuts(walnuts, cashew), drink green tea(not in tea bags-loose leaves). Pay attention on results. Different people react differently to foods. So experiment.

Loose weight

Mission AntarcticaMission Antarctica. Everybody knows that the southernmost point and continent on the Planet is Antarctica. All the extreme superlatives go for this continent – it is with no concurrence, the coldest, the driest and the windiest continent. If you thought that Australia is very big continent. Think again that Antarctica actually is twice the size Australia has. Only two percent are not covered with ice. It was actually here in the year 1983, when the coldest temperature ever recorded on Earth was seen here, and it was minus 89.2 degrees Celsius (or 128.56 degrees Fahrenheit). But, Antarctica as well is pretty rich continent. That provokes a lot of expeditions to go and look for their ‘happiness’ and become wealthy forever. That can cost their lives due to the conditions it has, but, humans’ greed is so big that it makes people go further than their own limits.

Mission Antarctica. Such an example is our today game. An expedition comes on Antarctica to do an investigation in a very mysterious case. In year 2012, Mr. Arthur, known for his fortune and crazy ideas that he has, has financed an expedition on the Antarctica. Willing to discover the blue diamond that could be found there and nowhere else. His purpose is to use the diamond for the production of very dangerous laser weapon.

He already has guaranteed market for that, the countries that fight among each other. In 2013, no trace can be found from his expedition. Arthur has been accused for the disappearing of those people and has been put in jail. Today, completely new expedition arrives on the strange place on the Antarctica and their point is to find out what lays behind this mystery and what really has happened to the disappeared people.

Safe With MeSafe With Me. One of the biggest fears of every man, even if he wasn’t in any relation to it, is that he could be bitten by a snake. Yes, we all know that it is because of that deadly venom that could be really complicated.

The terrain was challenging but very interesting, because it was surrounded by wonderful nature but that nature could be unpredictable sometimes… Suddenly a snake came by and this creature bite Peter’s fiancee. That’s an emergency situation so Peter took her to the hospital as fast as he could but from the hospital he gets information that they couldn’t find antidote for that snake, at this moment.
