Are the media anti-religious? Do the media engage in Catholic bashing, Muslim stereotyping, the mockery or dismissal of traditional morality? If so, who is responsible and what can be done about it?

The possible responses to these questions and the issues that surround them were discussed at the last of three symposiums on Media and Religion sponsored by Commonweal magazine. The first two were held at Loyola University in Chicago and Georgetown University in Washington, D. C. This third and final one was held at Fordham University School of Law in New York City on October 25.

Peter Steinfels, senior religion correspondent of the New York Times, was the keynote speaker. Judith H. Banki of the Rabbi Tannenbaum Foundation was the moderator for the panel discussion, which included William F. Baker, CEO of WNET TV, Randall Balmer, Professor of Religion at Columbia University, John Leo of U.S. News & World Report, and Mary Alice Williams, former religion correspondent for NBC and CNN.

The symposium was aptly titled “War of the World Views? Religion and the Media.” I say ‘aptly’ because it became clear during the opening speech and particularly during the panel discussion that there were two worldviews prompting opinions. These viewpoints, while not necessarily at war, were in profound disagreement.

In general, the two views could be sketched out as one that took religion seriously, and one that did not. The first understood religion to be a major force – morally, rationally, and politically – among the American people. The second seemed to see it as a second rate issue, one that had to be dealt with but wasn’t quite the central concern for truly rational people. As John Leo put it, the elite press corps saw religion as a hangover from the Middle Ages that must be indulged. This attitude, he noted, was fundamentally derived from the Enlightenment. Religious believers were relegated to the sidelines as irrational and overreactive. For example, Mr. Steinfels made the observation that “religion and media is a hot topic these days – surrounded by hypersensitivity and paranoia.”

The primary opinion of the modernist camp was that anti-religion bias and stereotyping was due to ignorance. Doubtless these stereotypes do, in many cases, spring from ignorance. As Father Richard John Neuhaus, editor of First Things, noted in the October issue, most national media reporters live in areas where secular life is the norm and where they aren’t likely to have the chance to observe a religious tradition or come to know it in a sympathetic setting. Hence this religious ignorance often blossoms into malicious reporting and/or anti-religion coverage when it confronts a stance that is profoundly opposed to their secular worldview. Ms. Ranki commented on the extreme likelihood for people’s convictions to affect their writing while they themselves are unconscious of it. The result is that what should be an ordinary news story becomes an anti-religious piece plugging a secularist worldview – sometimes blatantly but more often in a subtle manner, by making the opposing tradition, generally symbolized by the Catholic Church and the papacy, appear out-of-step, irrational, and harmful to the greater good. Mr. Steinfels responded to this kind of reporting in his speech by labeling it a sort of misperception on the part of the audience. Religious readers, after seeing an editorial in which definite anti-Catholic or liberal opinions are expressed, go on to read the news articles and expect it to carry the same ideological slant. This is inappropriate, he said, because while editorials are meant to express an opinion, reporting is meant to objective and factual, and readers should make that distinction.

It was also said that reporting on religion suffered from a dearth of reporters educated about the subject that they write about. Time and space constraints were cited as well. All these problems, it was maintained, make it difficult to deal with religion in an appropriate manner, but were ostensibly not based on genuine malice or enmity towards religious people or institutions. Yet, as Ms. Williams noted, reporting for most subjects covered regularly in the news is done by reporters who hold degrees in a pertinent subject area. Political reporters have degrees in political science; medical issues are covered by medical doctors. Why religion isn’t covered by religiously devout and informed people was never explained. Perhaps it is because those in the news are so biased in their ignorance that they consider religion too trivial or too subjective to merit an informed perspective.

Regarding the constraints of every media effort, the papers and television media regularly deal with subject matter that requires greater amounts of time and background than the average news item. The immediate example is science. In this case, they generally have an entire section, or segment of a broadcast, that deals only with that issue, and it is written by experts in the field. Why religion should be accorded dif- ferent treatment, particularly when many Americans classify themselves as “religiously conservative,” went without adequate explanation.

Flea Collars: some advice

03 October 2016
Flea Collars: some advice

This News article was originally written in 2013 - we are posting it again as it is still of great relevance.

Since writing this article in September 2013, the Veterinary Medicines Directorate (DEFRA) have issued a report which details the dangers and includes links to those flea treatments which do not contain the drug Permethrin or it is contained in low enough doses not to cause harm. The full paper can be found at the link below Please don't put your cat at risk, the dangers are many and the deaths are horrible.

Please read: http://www.vmd.defra.gov.uk/pdf/permethrin-spot-on.pdf

**Please see our advice in bold in the article below**

Our original article: Sept 2013

We have recently received reports of incidences where kittens and cats have died from poisoning symptoms, seemingly after they have been fitted with flea collars. In some cases, this has lead to sickness and diarrhoea and in some extreme instances, convulsions leading to death.

This may be as a result of people using dog and puppy flea collars on cats.  This is extremely dangerous to cats as the chemicals used for dogs are vastly different and extremely poisonous when used on felines.

So our first piece of advice is NEVER, ever put a dog flea collar on your cat or kitten.

There is also some evidence that this adverse reaction appears to be particularly related to those products that contain Diazinon, sometimes called Dimpylate.  There have been newspaper reports (unconfirmed) that flea collars containing this substance, which by the way was originally developed as nerve gas for use in the Second World War, is having an extremely bad effect on children who are very close to their pets, and who spend a long time sleeping with them or stroking and cuddling them.  Diazinon poisoning symptoms include headaches, dizziness, blurred vision, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhoea amongst other things.

One large manufacturer of pet products in the UK has already voluntarily taken their flea collars off the market which contains this substance, but there are others out there that still use it as part of their flea treatment products.

Of course we advocate the use of flea treatment as part of your regular care regime for your cat, so our second piece of advice is always read the label to make sure that the collar or other flea treatment you are purchasing for your cat does not contain Diazinon, Dimpylate or Permethrin.

Similarly, off the shelf worming treatments meant for dogs must NOT be used on cats, nor should you repeat a dose of worming treatment earlier than the manufacturer’s guidance.

Our final piece of advice is if you are worried or have any doubts about the flea collar or other treatment you have purchased off the shelf, stop using it straight away and contact your vet immediately for advice.

Leasing activity slowed considerably during Q3 2020 as the lagging nature of commercial real estate more clearly demonstrated the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic and subsequent business shut-downs.

In spite of softening market fundamentals, developers continued to start projects. Nationally, the level of construction activity showed no signs of slowing during the past six months while, locally, Parkway Corporation broke ground on Morgan Lewis’s new headquarter location at 2222 Market Street.

Capital markets activity posted surprising resiliency during Q3 2020, mostly predicated on a joint venture transaction at Commerce Square in Market West.

2nd Pre-Deployment Training for Egyptian Troops Joining MINUSCA
23 May 2017

Cairo, Egypt - CCCPA conducted its second pre-deployment training (PDT) course for Egyptian peacekeepers joining the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic (MINUSCA). The training took place from 14-22 May 2017; the previous training took place in March. The PDT was held in close collaboration between CCCPA and the Egyptian Ministry of Defense, in accordance with General Assembly Resolution A/RES/49/37.

As conflicts become more complex, training is not only vital, but a pre-requisite for all success of peacekeeping missions. This could not be truer than in the case of Egypt--a top troop and police contributing country.

The curriculum is based on UN Peacekeeping PDT Standards and covers topics such as UN peacekeeping operation principles; protection of civilians; the nature of conflict in the respective country; international humanitarian law and human rights; the role of gender and women in peacekeeping; and rules of engagement.

The training is part of the project “Consolidating Peace, Security and Stability in Africa - 2016”, implemented by CCCPA, in cooperation with the Government of Japan, and in partnership with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).

Psalms:Chapter 109

Previous Psalms:Chapter 109 Next
聖詠集 Psalms
1達味的聖詠，交與樂官。我所讚美的天主，求你別緘口不語！ 1Break your silence, O God whom I praise,
2因為邪惡欺詐的口，已經張開攻擊我，騙人說謊的舌頭，也已經出言陷害我， 2now that the wicked and deceitful hurl their false accusations at me.
3以毒恨的言語四面抨擊我，又無緣無故地興訟毀謗我。 3They assail me with words of hatred; they attack me for no valid cause.
4他們誣告我，以報我的友愛；然而我卻為他們祈禱不懈； 4They return my friendship with slander, and yet I pray for them.
5他們以惡心回報我的善心，他們用恨情還報我的愛情。 5They repay me evil for good, and hatred for my love.
6求你派一惡人向他們攻訐，叫控告者站在他的右邊。 6Appoint a wicked man against him; find an accuser to repeat this curse:
7使他受審時，被判為罪犯，使他的辯護，仍構成罪案。 7"Let him be found guilty when tried; let his own plea condemn him.
8願你縮短他的年歲，讓人取去他的職位。 8May his days be numbered, his office be taken by another.
9使他的子女盡成孤獨，使他的妻子流為寡婦， 9May his children lose a father and his wife a husband.
10使他的子孫流離失所，沿門乞食，使他由殘破的家室裡，被人逐離。 10May his children go begging, driven out of their ruined homes.
11使債主搜刮他所有的家產，使外人劫掠他勞力的所賺。 11May the creditor seize all his belongings and strangers plunder the fruits of his toil.
12誰也不要向他施行仁慈，誰也不要憐憫他的孤兒； 12Let no one extend kindness to him or take pity on his orphaned children.
13願他的後裔全被斬盡滅絕，他們的姓名被塗抹於後代。 13May his posterity be destroyed, their names blotted out in the next generation.
14願上主記念他父親的罪愆，總不要赦免他母親的過犯； 14May his father's evil be remembered before the Lord; may his mother's sin never be effaced.
15叫那些罪永留在上主前，從地上除去他們的記念。 15May their sins be ever before the Lord, and their memory cut off from the earth."
16因為他們總不想施恩行善，但知道迫害弱小和貧賤，連心靈破碎的人也摧殘。 16For he did not remember to show kindness, but hounded the poor, the needy, and the brokenhearted to their death.
17他既喜愛詛咒，願詛咒臨於他！他既不愛祝福，願祝福遠離他！ 17He loved to curse; may he be cursed. He loathed blessing; may it be far from him.
18他以詛咒為自己的衣帶，詛咒如水浸入他的五內，更像脂油滲透他的骨骸， 18He wrapped himself in cursing; may it soak into his body like water, penetrate his bones like oil.
19好像衣服遮蔽了他，好似皮帶纏住了他。 19May it be like a garment he wears, like the belt he ties around himself.
20凡控告我並惡言誹謗我的人，願他們由上主獲得這些報應。 20May the Lord reward my accusers with this, and others who speak evil of me.
21然而上主，為了你的名，求你善待我，天主，按照你的仁愛和善良，拯救我！ 21But as for me, O God my Lord, for your name's sake, act on my behalf, deliver me, in the goodness of your love.
22我原來貧窮可憐，我的心傷痛悲慘； 22For I am poor and needy, my heart is stricken within me.
23我像夕陽殘影漸漸消逝，我被人驅除又與蝗蟲相似。 23Like an evening shadow, I fade away; like a locust, I am swept away.
24我的雙膝因齋戒而酸軟，我的肉體已經消瘦不堪。 24My knees have become weak from fasting, my body is wasted of its substance.
25我竟成了他們的笑柄，看見我的人頭搖齒冷。 25I have become the butt for the scorn of my foes; people shake their heads at me in derision.
26上主，我的天主，求你扶助我，求你按著你的慈愛拯救我， 26Help me, O Lord my God, and save me for the sake of your love.
27讓人們知道這是你手的工程，上主，的確這是你的所作所行。 27Let them know that this is your hand, that it is you, Lord, who do this.
28任憑他們詛咒，惟願你予以祝福，叫你僕人歡喜，使我的仇敵蒙羞。 28They may curse, but you will bless; when they attack, they will be disgraced; but may your servant rejoice!
29叫誣告我的人滿被凌辱，他們蒙受羞恥，如披氅裘。 29Let my accusers be clothed with dishonor; let them be wrapped in their own shame.
30我要親口向上主歌頌，要讚美他在億萬人中。 30To the Lord, I will give my thanks; I will praise him in the great assembly.
31因他站在窮苦人的右邊，拯救他脫離定罪的裁判。 31He stands at the right hand of the needy, to save them from those who condemn him.

Superintendent's Letter to the CCS Community: September 25, 2020

Dr. Dixon Letter

Dr. Dixon penned a check-in letter to the CCS community on September 25, 2020. Read her letter below:

Dear CCS Families,

This week I want to start by recognizing a group of staff members who are RISING UP to support our students and their families in a new and innovative way. Many of our classified staff members, including custodians and food service members, have been serving in our new Virtual Learning Outreach program by calling our families and students to personally check-in on them during this time of remote learning.

For many of the staff members, these outreach efforts are new to them as they wait to perform their typical roles when we return to in-person classes in October. However, I must applaud their willingness and enthusiasm to take on these roles and help our schools connect with their families. We know that even the smallest acts of kindness and compassion go a long way to making a big difference.

If you receive a call from one of our VLO representatives, please take the time to connect and let them know how your student is handling virtual learning and if there is any way in which CCS can help you navigate through these uncertain times.

Virtual Family Engagement Sessions

As a reminder, our Department of Engagement continues to host Virtual Family Engagement Sessions twice weekly. These are held live online every Tuesday and Thursday from 6-7 p.m. and are also available on-demand on our website. I encourage you to check out this resource for valuable information.

Free Breakfast and Lunch on Wednesdays

If you have not been to one of our meal distribution sites yet, I encourage you to do so. Every Wednesday -- from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. -- families are able to pick up a free weekly five-day meal pack for any child 18 and under while our students are learning in our remote environment.

The meal packs contain five days of breakfasts and five days of lunches boxed together. To make it easy, we have assigned families a specific grab-and-go location close to their home. If a family does not know their meal site location, they can call their school office or our Factline at (614) 221-3228 for this information.

We continue to have a strong turnout at our meal sites. Our Food Services team has distributed more than 200,000 meals each of the past two weeks.

Safe Schools Working Group Survey

There is still time to submit your feedback on the District’s current safety and school climate efforts. The information we receive from the community will help inform the Safe Schools Working Group, which will present a recommendation to the Board of Education this fall. Click here to take the survey. Or watch the first Safe Schools Community Session from September 2. Your feedback is important as we reimagine what safety looks like in the 21st century.

Be Counted: 2020 Census

Make sure your family is counted in the 2020 Census! I have been honored to work with Mayor Ginther and County Commissioner Boyce on a nearly year-long effort to make sure every person living in Columbus gets counted. But so far, only 63% have filled out the Census, which means our community risks losing out on funding for critical public services over the next 10 years. Spread the word that you can still respond to the Census online at, by phone at 844-330-2020, or by completing and mailing back the paper questionnaire. The time to act is now!

Guide to Student Success Available Online

An electronic version of the 2020-2021 Guide To Student Success is available on our website. The Guide to Student Success provides an overview of the important policies put in place by our Board of Education, as well as the rules and guidelines that are designed to ensure safe and nurturing learning environments for all students and staff. This online document should be read carefully and can be accessed on our website for reference at any time.

Families are asked to read all four of the important documents found at the end of the publication. The forms will request that you agree to or opt-out of the criteria provided, then you will be asked to sign the related forms when your student returns to their school buildings for in-person learning.

Free Mask Kit Giveaway on October 1

Our partners at the African-American Male Wellness Initiative and Franklin County Job and Family Services are working together to get more protective masks to families who need them.

They will be handing out free mask kits on Thursday, October 1, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the East Opportunity Center at 1055 Mt. Vernon Avenue. Supplies are likely to go quick, so get there early.

Celebrating National HBCU Week

This week Columbus City Schools helped celebrate National HBCU (Historically Black College and University) Week. HBCU graduates are making a powerful impact on CCS. Click here to learn about several staff members who graduated from HBCUs.

I am the proud daughter of two HBCU graduates, and I followed in my father’s footsteps by attending Mississippi Valley State University in Itta Bena, Mississippi. The experiences and education I received as a student at Mississippi Valley State opened many doors for me as a young person who was still figuring out her career path. In fact, it inspired me to go on to earn three master’s degrees and a doctorate.

As our CCS students consider their options beyond high school, I encourage them to explore the many advantages and experiences that HBCUs have to offer.

Let’s Continue To Do Our Part

We remain on track for students to return in a hybrid learning model -- two days of in-person instruction and three days of remote instruction per week -- in late October. But we must all continue to do our part to keep ourselves, our families, and our community safe during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Be sure to wear a mask, social distance, and wash your hands regularly. We continue to receive regular updates from Columbus Public Health officials on the spread of COVID-19 within our district boundaries and will continue to monitor the city’s rate of infection.  You can learn more by visiting the Columbus Public Health COVID-19 site here.

Dear Parents,

I'm pleased to introduce you to the newest teen society in the neighborhood: The CTeen Network. We have been granted a unique opportunity to be a part of the fastest growing Jewish teen network. This initiative promises to be exciting and uplifting for teens everywhere, and we would be delighted if your child will come experience The CTeen Network with us.

Teens love to socialize, they love to network. The CTeen Network takes these skills that teenagers have mastered throughout time, and creatively channels their talents toward making a difference in our communities.

Our mission is to provide a nurturing environment where teens can learn about themselves through giving to others, identify with others who share the same faith, and be part of a group that focuses on building core values with an emphasis on character development.

It is estimated that only 20% of a teenager’s personal time is actually spent in a structured school environment. CTeen provides the opportunity for teenagers to reassign some free time into meaningful time, constructively spent learning, giving, and interacting with others teens.

Encourage your child to attend a group meeting so they may experience this program first hand. Studies show that by joining groups that emphasize community service, teens build their self-esteem, strengthen integrity, and maximize their cognitive development. They benefit from improved academic performance and enhanced life skills.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me at rabbi@chabad101.com.

Looking forward to greeting you and your teen soon!

Rabbi Mendel Silberstein

Phishing’s Evolution: How COVID-19 Affected Our Click Habits

Author Justine Kurtz, senior copywriter, Webroot

Phishing has been around for ages and continues to be one of the most common threats that businesses and home users face today. But it’s not like we haven’t all been hearing about the dangers of phishing for years. So why do people still click?

That’s what we wanted to find out when we conducted our most recent survey. We checked in with thousands of office workers across seven different countries to get a global perspective on phishing and people’s individual click habits. Then we partnered with Dr. Prashanth Rajivan, assistant professor at the University of Washington, to gain a deeper understanding of phishing and those habits, as well as how things have shifted during COVID-19 in our new report: COVID-19 Clicks: How Phishing Capitalized on a Global Crisis.

In this blog post, we’ve summarized this comprehensive report and included tips for how to stay safe, but we strongly encourage you to check out the full writeup.

Why do people still click?

3 in 10 people worldwide clicked a phishing link in the past year. Among Americans, it’s 1 in 3.

According to Dr. Rajivan, what we need to consider is that human beings aren’t necessarily good at dealing with uncertainty, which is part of why cybercriminals capitalize on upheaval (such as a global pandemic) to launch attacks.

“People aren’t great at handling uncertainty. Even those of us who know we shouldn’t click on emails from unknown senders may feel uncertain and click anyway. That’s because we’ve likely all clicked these kinds of emails in the past and gotten a positive reward. The probability of long-term risk vs. short-term reward, coupled with uncertainty, is a recipe for poor decision-making, or, in this case, clicking what you shouldn’t.”

– Prashanth Rajivan, Ph.D.

Tip # 1

  • For businesses: Ensure workers have clear distinctions between work and personal time, devices, and obligations. This helps reduce the amount of uncertainty that can ultimately lead to phishing-related breaches.
  • For individuals: Hackers often exploit security holes in older software versions and operating systems. Update software and systems regularly to help shut the door on malware.

Has phishing increased since COVID-19 began

At least one in five people have received a phishing email related to COVID-19.

There’s no doubt that the global COVID-19 pandemic has changed a lot about how we live and work. According to our survey, 54% of workers spend more time working from home than they did before the pandemic. With more people connecting to the internet outside of corporate networks and away from the watchful eyes of IT teams, it’s to be expected that cybercriminals would take advantage.

“[We’ve seen] massive spikes […] in phishing URLs targeting COVID-related topics. For example, with more people spending time at home, use of streaming services has gone up. In March alone, we saw a 3000% increase in phishing URLs with ‘youtube’ in the name.

– Grayson Milbourne, security intelligence director, Carbonite + Webroot, OpenText Companies

Regardless, the majority of people surveyed still think they are at least the same level of prepared or more prepared to spot phishing email attempts, now that they’ve spent more time working from home

“People are taking increased physical safety measures in the pandemic, including mask wearing, social distancing, more frequent hand-washing, etc. I think this heightened level of precaution and awareness could cause people to slightly overestimate their overall safety, including their safety regarding online threats.”

– Prashanth Rajivan, Ph.D.

Tip #2

  • For businesses: Know your risk factors and over prepare. Once you’ve assessed the risks, you can create a stronger data breach response plan.
  • For individuals: Stay on your toes. By being vigilant and maintaining a healthy dose of suspicion about all links and attachments in messages, you can significantly decrease your phishing risk.

People say they know better. Do they really?

81% of people say they take steps to determine if an email message is malicious. Yet 76% open emails and click links from unknown senders.

When we asked Dr. Rajivan why these numbers don’t line up, he said the difference is between knowing what you should do and actually doing it

“There are huge differences between knowing what to do and actually operationalizing that knowledge in appropriate scenarios. I suspect many people don’t really take the actions they reported, at least not on a regular basis, when they receive suspicious emails.”

– Prashanth Rajivan, Ph.D.

Tip #3

  • For businesses: Back up data and ensure employees can access and retrieve data no matter where they are. Accidents happen; what matters most is being able to recover quickly and effectively. Don’t forget to back up collaboration tools too, such as Microsoft® Teams and the Microsoft® 365 suite.
  • For individuals: Make sure important data and files are backed up to secure cloud storage or an external hard drive. In the case of a hard drive, make sure it’s only connected while backing up, so you don’t risk backing up infected or encrypted files. If it’s a cloud back up, use the kind that lets you to restore to a specific file version or point in time.

What’s the way forward?

All over the world, workers say that in order to be better prepared to handle cyberattacks, they need more education.

According to global respondents, more knowledge and better understanding is key for stronger cyber resilience. The top three things people everywhere said would help them better prepare themselves to handle cyber threats like phishing were: knowing which tools could help prevent an attack, knowing what to do if you fall victim to an attack, and understanding the most common types of attacks.

Dr. Rajivan points out that, if businesses are asking individuals to make changes to their own behavior for the greater safety of all, then they need to make it clear they are willing to invest in their people.

“By creating a feeling of personal investment in the individuals who make up a company, you encourage the employees to return that feeling of investment toward their workplace. That’s a huge part of ensuring that cybersecurity is part of the culture. Additionally, if we want to enable employees to assess risk properly, we need to cut down on uncertainty and blurring of context lines. That means both educating employees and ensuring we take steps to minimize the ways in which work and personal life get intertwined.”

– Prashanth Rajivan, Ph.D.

Tip #4

  • For businesses: Invest in your people. Empower your people with regular training to help them successfully avoid scams and exercise appropriate caution online.
  • For individuals: Educate yourself. Even if your company provides training, Dr. Rajivan recommends we all subscribe to cybersecurity-related content in the form of podcasts, social media, blogs, and reputable information sources to help keep strong, cyber resilient behavior top-of-mind.

  • Armenia’s declared multi-vector foreign policy, sometimes diplomatically described as one of ‘complementarity’, has proven hard to implement. Over time, the country has sacrificed this balance for the sake of hard security. As a result, its geopolitical alignment has tilted towards Russia while security has deteriorated, as shown by the 2013 U-turn on the EU association agreement and the four-day war in Nagorny Karabakh in April 2016 respectively.
  • Armenia’s foreign policy manoeuvring space is constrained by a challenging neighbourhood and Western–Russian contention in Eurasia, but the country’s previous leaders have miscalculated too. They have failed to gauge the extent to which Russia’s growing assertiveness in the region is altering the essence of the supposed ‘strategic partnership’ between Yerevan and Moscow. As Russia has grown closer to Azerbaijan and Turkey, its primary role as a security provider and regional balancer for Armenia has been compromised. At the same time, Armenia’s over-reliance on Russia has been exacerbated.
  • For a long time, Armenia’s domestic democratic deficit damaged its international standing and undermined its sovereignty. The effects of the ‘Velvet Revolution’ of April/May 2018 may reverse this, as a popular new government is feeling more empowered in its foreign relations. This unexpected political transition is also emblematic of the fact that Armenia has been widely misunderstood.
  • Over-reliance on Russia and Western detachment from Armenia’s problems have reinforced each other. The West’s support for democracy has been limited; it never took the country’s bottom-up democratization potential seriously, and chose to vouch for incumbents who lacked legitimacy. In parallel, the West has resigned itself to seeing Armenia in Russia’s orbit. These factors help to explain why the growing scepticism of Armenians towards Russia has not resulted in more sympathy towards the West.
  • Although the government has pledged to make no critical changes in foreign policy, there is now an opportunity to live up to the country’s long-declared aspiration for a multi-vector foreign policy, now dubbed ‘Armenia-centric’ by the newly installed cohort of policymakers. Armenia seems determined to protect its sovereignty in relations with Russia, to further ties with the West, and to re-energize cooperation with Georgia and Iran.
  • To overcome entrenched attitudes that Armenia has no foreign policy alternatives because of geopolitical constraints, Armenian politicians, diplomats and policymakers should keep an open mind about possible geopolitical bargains, rather than resigning themselves to geopolitical determinism. Decision-making needs reform both institutionally and in terms of strategic planning. Armenia’s security planning should change too, as democratic governance and smart foreign policymaking are now slowly being acknowledged as important components of security. Addressing the asymmetry of relations with Russia is the first imperative, and will determine relations with other actors. If Western countries want to be of help, they need to become more engaged in reform of the state, and in the creation of a safer security environment in the region.

Hear from our Massage Therapy Students!

I recently graduated from the CHCP Massage Therapy Certificate Program and if you are looking for a change in your life, I would urge you to strongly consider CHCP. I can not put into words or context the commitment that the entire staff has to each and every student at the Fort Worth Campus. The instructors are knowledgeable and truly teach from their hearts. The campus leadership from the President and down were involved in my educational process at the personal level which is something I have never experienced while attending the other universities while working on my Bachelor's Degree. They give every student an opportunity to excel and grow a person. As a student ambassador, I was able to witness the school's commitment to our community by participating in canned food drives and several other fundraising efforts that the school does to give back to our community. Career Services is another added bonus! If you work with career services counselors and take ownership of your are going to find a job in your new career field...period. These women are highly networked and do not fail! In closing, I could continue rambling praises about CHCP but instead will leave it at this....if your heart is pushing you towards a career change within the medical field and you are feeling the urge to pursue it...the first lesson you will need to learn is how to select your new educational all that I have said about CHCP and put your trust in these people.....see there...I just gave you your first lesson free.

Worried About Crowded Flights? Know Where Your Airline Stands

One of the first Asian airline firms was Air India, which was founded as Tata Airlines in 1932, a division of Tata Sons Ltd. (now Tata Group). The airline was founded by India’s leading industrialist, JRD Tata. R. D. Tata himself flew a single engined De Havilland Puss Moth carrying air mail (postal mail of Imperial Airways) from Karachi to Bombay via Ahmedabad.

airline flights

Southwest Airlines, JetBlue, AirTran Airways, Skybus Airlines and different low-cost carriers started to symbolize a serious problem to the so-known as “legacy airlines”, as did their low-value counterparts in lots of other countries. Their industrial viability represented a serious competitive risk to the legacy carriers. However, of these, ATA and Skybus have since ceased operations.

While yes, it's true I am a huge fan of the pastel season, I also occasionally crave bolder hues that still say spring while packing more of a color punch.  Today the perfect solution to that scenario is this classic combo of black and yellow.  Although this look can sometimes be tricky to pull off, it doesn't have to be.  Here are a few quick tips on how to get it right...

1.  Keep it Simple:  With two contrasting colors such as these, it's best to keep the patterns or prints you incorporate understated and distinct.  These polka dot pants, for example, provide just the right amount of visual energy without overworking the eye.

2.  Colorblock:  If you decide to go with a patterned bottom, try pairing the look with a solid on top.  A bold cardi or tunic length blouse would both work equally well.  The contrast in color is what pulls this look together and gives it personality.

3.  Add in Great Accessories:  As with any great outfit, the accessories are what really make it eye catching and memorable.  Personally, I favor classic nudes and tortoise shell pieces here because I think they are the perfect choice for rounding out the look without them competing for center stage.

It really can be as easy as that, which is one reason why I love playing with pieces and reinventing new looks.  What about you?  What's one of your favorite things about fashion, style and creating your favorite looks?

Wishing everyone a gorgeous weekend and thanks for reading....

Choosing a Sports Program

Youth sports can be great for kids!  Though a sport may come more easily to some than others, their own personal determination and love for the sport should take the lead without pressure from parents or family members.

Which sport?

Matching the personality and passions of a child to a sport is a great way to determine where they could excel. A kid who loves the water may thrive in water polo or competitive swimming. An avid runner could fall for cross country or even field hockey. And sometimes it’s good to think outside the box and look at sports like fencing, rugby and, depending on where you live, skiing or surfing.

Once they choose something that interests them, you can often sign up for a free class to have them try it out to see if it’s the right fit for them. If so, it’s best to keep them in the class until the very end. Sometimes a sport is harder than anticipated, but pulling them out early will not teach them the importance of completing a difficult challenge or allow them to reach their potential. With time, they will improve, which is a great life lesson in and of itself.

They will likely be more successful if they play only one sport at a time – this allows them to put all their focus and energy into it and see how far they can go. There are so many sports; there is one for each child, even if your child is painfully shy in a group setting. They may be better suited for an individual sport, like tennis, golf, or even fencing!

Why sports?

Many great benefits come from being involved in sports:

  • Leadership skills
  • Physical activity
  • Development of motor skills
  • Working with a team and a coach
  • Experiencing new challenges
  • Learning new habits and skills
  • Learning discipline
  • Overcoming defeat

Who loves it more?

Check in regularly to see if your passion as a parent is the driving force behind your child playing their sport. Too often kids will choose or stay with an activity because they don’t want to let anyone down, but how they think and feel about it is more important than anything else. Kids are also far more likely to give their best if they are pursuing something they love and feel passionate about. Otherwise, it could be a big waste of time, money and could lead to the child resenting the sport.

It’s also important to choose a sport that fits within your family budget. Some sports can get very expensive, so you’ll want to be sure that you can make the financial commitment before your child falls in love with it. If your child picks something that is not affordable, do a little research and see if there are free or less expensive programs that you can afford. Many teams are also great about helping, so it never hurts to ask.

As a parent, it’s also important that you show your support by attending games or meets, and that you can get your child to and from their activities with minimal fuss. If they feel like it’s a burden on the family, they may try to quit to make it easier on everyone else, so be open and honest about all aspects of joining a sport before making the commitment. Look into programs, carpools and create a calendar to keep the family organized and on the same page.

Sports can bring great joy to kids and parents; just remember to think things through, make a plan, and keep communication open.

Shanghai Expands Opening of Finance Sector with Reforms in Six Key Areas

The Shanghai municipal government is driving further opening of its financial sector with the launch of a slew of new reform initiatives.

On 13 April the Shanghai municipal government convened a meeting on trial work to expand financial sector opening, shortly after President Xi Jinping and central bank governor Yi Gang flagged China’s commitment to further opening of the finance sector at the 2018 Bo’ao Forum for Asia.

The Shanghai government has since unveiled a range of reforms to further expand the opening of its financial sector, with domestic media touting upcoming reforms in the following six areas:

i) Expanded opening of the banking sector.

Support for the establishment of branches and subsidiaries by foreign banks within Shanghai; support for commercial banks establishing financial asset investment companies and asset management companies within Shanghai that are not subject to ceilings on foreign ownership. Support for foreign-invested banks to undertake commission issuance and payment.

ii) Expanded opening of the securities sector.

Support for the establishment of foreign share-controlled securities companies, fund companies and futures companies in Shanghai; permissions to engage in brokerage and consulting.

iii) Expanded opening of the insurance sector.

Support for the expansion of the business scope for foreign-invested insurance agencies in Shanghai, support for foreign-invested firms to engage in insurance agency and assessment business in Shanghai, support for the establishment of foreign-invested share-controlled life insurance companies.

iv) Expanded opening of financial markets.

Support for foreign investors to participate in the Shanghai securities market, support for overseas innovative enterprises to issue Chinese depository receipts within Shanghai. Proposed launch of the Shanghai-London Stock Connect initiative before the end of the year, expansion of the panda bond market.

v) Expansion of the role and scope of usage of free trade zone accounts (FT accounts).

In order to support internationalisation of the renminbi and establish a global services system for the renminbi, Shanghai will strive to expand the usage of FT accounts to all of the Yangtze River delta region as well as Yangtze River Economic Belt free trade zones, and expand the investment and financing role of FT accounts.

vi) Reduced entry thresholds for bank card settlement entities and non-bank payment entities.

Loosen restrictions on foreign-invested financial service companies undertaking credit assessment and other services.

Regulators hope that the reforms will help to shore up Shanghai’s status as an international financial centre.

According to official data the total value of transactions on Shanghai financial markets was 1,428 trillion yuan in 2017, while direct financing in Shanghai reached 7.6 trillion yuan in total, accounting for over 85% of all direct financing in China.

Foreign-invested financial institutions currently account for nearly 30% of all licensed financial institutions in Shanghai municipality.

Established Banks Turn to Internet Giants as Fintech Competition Intensifies

The Chinese banking sector is seeing a wave of co-operation with the country’s increasingly powerful online giants in a bid to shore up their fintech competitiveness.

According to David Yin, vice president and analyst at Moody’s financial institutions group, nearly all of China’s mid-sized and commercial banks have entered commercial agreements with either Alibaba, Baidu or Tencent over the past several  years.

Banks are engaging in greater collaboration with the tech sector not due to concerns that they will be displaced or rendered obsolete by upstart companies, but in order to better compete against other lenders as fintech rises to prominence in China.

Mobile payments company Ant Financial embodies the rise of Chinese fintech, with the Alibaba-affiliate amassing around 520 million users in under 15 years to become the world’s highest valued fintech company, as well as manager of the world’s biggest money market fund – Yu’e Bao.

In just the past several months Ant Financial has struck deals with some of China’s leading commercial banks, including China Everbright Bank, Huaxia Bank and Shanghai Pudong Development Bank, with the company expecting technology service fees to be a mainstay of revenue for the upcoming five years.

Ben Bystrom, formerly a Tokyo-based executive for Morgan Stanley and Merrill Lynch, said to CNBC that Chinese fintech firms have emerged as “very, very powerful financial entities as a result of dominating the mobile payment system,” and are “competing better than they ever have” in a global context.”

French documentary 'The Season' takes Chinese critics by storm

French documentary 'The Season' takes Chinese critics by storm

A scene from The Season [Photo provided to]

Famed French director Jacques Perrin's latest masterpiece, The Season, which hit the big screens in China last week, has become one of the best reviewed films during the weeklong National Day holiday.

The documentary, another classic work after Jacques Perrin's internationally renowned Winged Migration, Oceans and Microcosmos: The Great People, retraces the natural history of Europe from the end of the ice age until the present. The delicate plots and breath-taking shots vividly show the life of wild animals and how their fates have changed during the process of human civilization, exploring the relations between nature and mankind and questioning the sacrifice we've made for contemporary economic development.

"Environmental issues are related to everyone," said French director Jacques Perrin at the film premiere on September 27, stressing that joint-effort from different countries are needed to tackle the natural ecological crisis.

The documentary was filmed in more than 100 places in eight countries during the five-year production, featuring a lively and diverse natural world. With a high rate of 7.5/10 on, one of China's biggest film review website, the documentary attracted theatregoers from across the country.

The film is also part of the annual cross-nation cultural project - 3rd Franco-Chinese Month of the Environment. Organized by the French embassy in China, this year's project focuses on the theme of biodiversity. A wide range of cultural events, including exhibitions, film screenings, concerts, art workshops, lectures, seminars and forums will be held in 25 Chinese cities.

Collections | Salazon Chocolate Co.

Coffee Beans

Our dark chocolate blog starts with the best organic cacao beans available: 100% organic, Rainforest Alliance and Fair Trade certified Hispaniola cacao beans sourced exclusively from the Dominican Republic. Then we take a minimalist approach, hand-sprinkling sea salt on every bar to naturally enhance the chocolate’s flavor.

Shop Salazon

We looked for the perfect sea salt for our chocolate and we found it: our sea salt is completely natural, unrefined and has absolutely no additives. It is simply sea water harvested from pristine areas in the Southern Atlantic and then solar evaporated, that’s it! The natural minerals and subtle nuances of flavor make it the perfect balance for our organic chocolate.

Organic Dark Chocolate with Natural Sea SaltThe original salted-chocolate! This is the bar we started the company with and it’s made with our signature dark chocolate and a touch of sprinkled sea salt. Destined to be a classic.

Organic Dark Chocolate with Sea Salt and a touch of Organic CaramelSalazon Chocolate Co. introduces a new flavor that is a twist on traditional chocolate and caramel bars: Salazon’s new bar adds just of touch of 100% organic caramel (using about 20% less caramel than most other caramel chocolate bars), resulting in a unique, great tasting bar with less sugar and calories. And of course it’s sprinkled with a touch of sea salt to bring out the flavors in the chocolate and caramel.

Salazon Chocolate Co. is proud to be partnering with the Appalachian Trail Conservancy for this new bar. A portion of the gross proceeds will go towards the Appalachian Trial Conservancy’s work to protect the trail. Learn more at

Organic Dark Chocolate with Crushed Organic Coffee

This is chocolate and coffee in a way you’ve never tried, the Salazon way. The sea salt balances the course- ground coffee and produces a unique taste that we’ve been told is “enlightening”. The coffee we use for our Organic Dark Chocolate with Sea Salt & Crushed Organic Coffee bar would feel right at home in finest coffee shops in the world. The beans come from the Chiapas region in Mexico where they are shade- grown, certified organic and certified Fair Trade. They are perfectly roasted by our partner’s at Larry’s Beans,

Organic Dark Chocolate with Sea Salt and Turbinado Cane Sugar

Salazon Chocolate Co. does not make a milk chocolate bar but we did want to have an offering that was a little sweeter. Of course, we do it a little differently by sprinkling on a little organic turbinado cane sugar from Paraguay. This adds the texture that Salazon is known for and bit of extra sweetness to compliment the sea salt for one-of-a-kind chocolate bar.

Salazon Chocolate Co. is proud to be partnering with the Pacific Crest Trail Association for this new bar. A portion of the gross proceeds will go towards the Pacific Crest Trail Association’s work to protect, preserve and promote the trail. Learn more at

Organic Dark Chocolate with Sea Salt and Organic Cracked Black Pepper

Our sea salt and organic cracked black pepper bar certainly invokes some raised eyebrows upon first glance, but this bar is developing a following. The organic black pepper from India bring outs flavors in the dark chocolate that the salt cannot on its own. Somehow the flavors fit together and complement each other perfectly; it just works!

Organic Dark Chocolate with Sea Salt and AlmondsFew flavors marry as well as almonds and chocolate, except for maybe salt, almonds and chocolate! And our new bar combines all three in perfect harmony. We blanket roasted, all-natural California almonds with our new, smooth 72% organic chocolate and hand-sprinkle sea salt to satisfy your sweet and salty craving!

Organic Dark Chocolate with Sea Salt and Coconut

Imagine breaking waves and sunshine as this chocolate bar takes you away. Organic toasted flakes of unsweetened coconut from the Philippines are covered in our rich 72% dark chocolate and hand sprinkled with Sea Salt from the coast of Brazil.

Organic Dark Chocolate with Sea Salt and Cayenne Pepper

Cocoa in its earliest usage was mixed with hot spices and we kept that tradition with the launch of the new Salt & Cayenne bar. It’s a spicy-sweet combination that will wake your senses. Made with organic cayenne pepper from India, our bold 72% single origin chocolate and a sprinkle of sea salt, there is a kick to every bite.

Wonder (2017)

Wonder (2017)

(On Cable TV, October 2018) Frankly, I expected much worse from Wonder after seeing its rather misleading trailer. To believe the coming attraction, we have to brace ourselves for an entire film’s worth of seeing a facially disfigured boy trying to fit at a new school. But, as we know, trailers lie—or at least misdirect, because even if the film is about a facially disfigured boy’s adventures in fitting at his new school, it’s also quite a bit more than that, and in this case the subplots are what keeps the film interesting beyond its predictable premise. Wonder soon becomes about the boy’s entire family as they, too, experience that first year in school in their own way. There’s nothing truly earth-shattering here, and one of the mildest surprises of the film is how easy it goes on the inevitable scenes of cruelty and abuse by the boy’s schoolmates. The result is one of relief, as the film remains rather gentle and sympathetic in its approach. Jacob Tremblay continues to impress in the lead role, while other notables such as Owen Wilson, Mandy Patinkin and Julia Roberts take supporting roles in a youth-focused film. As a result, Wonder remains an enjoyable film … even for jaded curmudgeonly critics such as myself.

Remarkable 84-year-old dedicates her life to volunteering and helping others

Once a volunteer, you are always a volunteer who believes in making a difference. That is what 84-year-old Parkway Place resident Beverly Jones proves every day.

A lifelong volunteer, Jones spent 25 years in education and she currently mentors an eighth grade student each week at West Briar Middle School. She previously mentored a young woman in the Spring Branch school district from seventh grade through high school graduation.

Jones also facilitates an exhilarating learning experience at Parkway Place. She started a woman’s discussion group and coordinates the speakers and activities including opportunities for fellow residents to bag rice at Parkway Place that goes to the Houston food bank. She is also part of a sewing group that makes nursing capes for mothers in need.

“I find such satisfaction in volunteering and helping out,” said Jones. “It has always been very much a part of my life. I especially enjoy mentoring and building a relationship with a child who needs some support. I am not there to be a teacher. I am a mentor. The girl I am mentoring now considers me to be like a grandmother, and she enjoys when I read to her. I have 200 children’s books, and I bring them with me when I visit the school. I have noticed improvements in her reading and writing because of our time together. It is not about what I am getting out of it. This is a chance for me to help a child become a part of the world.”

Jones taught at the University of Houston and Dominican College. She also was an early childhood consultant for the Harris County Department of Education where she worked with 24 school districts. She started the department’s Early Childhood Winter conference in the 1970s. It grew from 250 to 1,000 teachers and the department still holds the conference every year. At Parkway Place, Jones noticed there was a men’s discussion group and no women’s group, so it was natural for her to organize a group herself. Her women’s discussion group has grown from three to 30 participants and meets twice a month.

“Our group gives people a chance to learn and be with others,” said Jones. “We want to get involved and contribute. I enjoy it because it’s my nature to get things started and going. We did a series on diversity in Houston, and we had the Houston Food Bank come out and the manager of the energy corridor recently spoke at our meeting. We will feature Autism, human trafficking, the Port of Houston and kids in the ‘sandwich generation’ at upcoming meetings.”

Jones expects to continue volunteering as long as she can. She believes it is a calling, and she will always look for ways to impact fellow residents and children in Houston. After all, Jones is a survivor. She recovered from two falls and cancer.

“Beverly inspires us all to do more, and I think it is fabulous that she is bringing the

residents together to learn and grow,” said Jimmy Johnson, executive director of Parkway Place. “She shows us that we all have the ability to give of ourselves to improve the world around us.”

Two Priests Who Raped Deaf Children in Pope Francis’ Homeland Sentenced

News: World News Print Friendly and PDF
by William Mahoney, Ph.D.  •  •  November 25, 2019

Vatican remains silent

MENDOZA, Argentina ( - In a case known to Pope Francis since he was president of the Argentine bishops' conference in 2009, a three-judge panel on Monday sentenced two priests and a gardener found guilty of sexually abusing deaf children at a Catholic school in Argentina.

Father Horacio Corbacho was sentenced to 45 years in prison, Fr. Nicola Corradi to 42 years and former gardener Armando Gómez to 18 years for sexually abusing children at the Antonio Provolo Institute for Deaf and Hearing Impaired Children.

The verdicts can be appealed.

The defendants had pleaded innocent but were found guilty of 20 counts of abuse, which included rape, which involved 10 former students, all of whom were minors during the incidents between 2005 and 2016.

The verdicts can be appealed.

Anne Barrett Doyle, co-founder of Bishop Accountability, told the Associated Press, "The Argentine court has given the traumatized children of Provolo a measure of justice that the Catholic Church failed to give them."

She further explained the two-fold nature of the affair: "[T]he torture of the children and the Church’s failure to prevent it. We hope the prosecutors now will launch a criminal investigation of the archbishops and other church leaders who knew or should have known that the school was being run by a child molester."

Doyle also said the Pope must "accept responsibility for the unimaginable suffering of these children. He ignored repeated warnings that Corradi was in Argentina."

Pope Francis and the Vatican

The crimes committed at the institute in Mendoza were not isolated incidents. Abuse also occurred at sister Próvolo Institute campuses in La Plata, Argentina and Verona, Italy.

The Vatican investigated the Próvolo Institute in 2010, acknowledging in 2012 that the abuse took place. To date, the Vatican has neither said nor done anything apart from imposing a few minor penalties for some of the perpetrators.

This inaction has allowed some of these pedophile priests to roam the streets freely ― as is the case with Fr. Eliseo Pirmati ― and even be housed as guests in Vatican accommodations.

Fr. Corbacho (Left), Gómez (Center) and Fr. Corradi (Right)

One victim wrote letters to Pope Francis in 2013 and 2014 but never received a response.

He and other victims went to Rome to meet the pope and hand-deliver a letter to him.

The pope asked for forgiveness and asked the victims to pray for him. He did "nothing else," according to that victim.

Another victim who was present at the meeting confirmed the testimony, saying that the pope said, "Forgive me," and then said a prayer.

Pope Francis was in Tokyo on Monday for his visit titled "Protect All Life," which included visits to Nagasaki and Hiroshima on Sunday, where the pontiff decried the atomic bombs dropped in 1945 and said: "It is my humble desire to be the voice of the voiceless, who witness with concern and anguish the growing tensions of our own time."

Neither Pope Francis nor the Vatican have yet commented on this case or Monday's sentencing.

If you have a sweet tooth, there's a new reason to go to Bond Hill: Davis Cookie Collection

Jeanne Houck
Cincinnati Enquirer
The new Davis Cookie Collection in Bond Hill is open to the public after a ribbon-cutting ceremony earlier today.

The Bond Hill business district has a new tenant: the Davis Cookie Collection.

Finding the cookie store’s new home at 4926 Reading Road was part of a larger effort by Cincinnati-area leaders to identify unique, Black-owned or locally owned businesses to provide needed goods and services that have been lacking in Bond Hill, according to a city press release.

Partnering on the project were the city of Cincinnati, Bond Hill Community Council, The Port of Greater Cincinnati Development Authority and the Community Economic Advancement Initiative.

“It is great to witness the Minority Business Accelerator once again assist local entrepreneurs successfully launch a business in Cincinnati,” Cincinnati Mayor John Cranley said in the release issued after a ribbon-cutting ceremony today.

“Cincinnati has been intentional in helping our minority business owners grow their businesses and the Davis Cookie Collection is a great example of that network of support. They will be a great addition to the Bond Hill Business District.”

In the release, Christina Davis said opening the Davis Cookie Collection in Bond Hill is a dream come true for her and her husband, Miles Davis, who co-own the store.

“Our journey hasn’t been easy,” Christina Davis said.

“We’ve faced various obstacles and barriers along the way, but with the help of so many, and with our passion, dedication, and commitment to elevate our business, we made it happen.”

The Port is actively marketing other storefronts in Bond Hill to local, neighborhood-serving businesses and entrepreneurs, the release said.

“When we began our work in Bond Hill, the community identified a thriving business district with neighborhood-serving enterprises as its number one priority,” Laura Brunner, president and CEO of The Port, said in the release.

“We’re excited to welcome Davis Cookie Collection to Bond Hill and we look forward to continuing the momentum by bringing more vitality to the district.”

Masquerade Invitation Part 1

Updated: Dec 28, 2019

I've been practicing my mixed media collages using my's been slow, but it's getting there. In the photos following you'll see the steps I took from beginning to end. Really though the beginning is an idea, then I go through my bits and pieces of materials that I've collected and see what works and what doesn't. Sometimes I have to hit the craft stores to find what else I want. I photograph each idea then look through them to decide which one I like best, kind of like a story board. Often times I will walk away when I can't decide, which is a good thing...

So step 1 was my first concept. I liked the materials I had chosen based on the photographs I chose which are my Masquerade Invitation and the Haunted Castle. Step 2 I added some stenciling using molding paste which I placed strategically on the canvas. I let that dry for several hours. I then placed all my pieces where I wanted them to go. Now I was ready to add paint. I use acrylic paint and mixed my own color combinations that I thought would work with the colors in the photos. It looks purple below, but the color I used were raw umber with a hint of black, white mixed with gold and raw umber, white mixed with raw umber and black and then a bit of red. Trying to keep the tones neutral and not to over power the entire collage. The ultimate goal is to have this piece look like it's been around for a while...vintage like.

After adding paint with a brush and rag, letting it dry for a bit then adding my vintage style letters and my rose lace. Waiting for those to dry I worked on my metal pieces. I found this great metal lace in a whole roll at Hobby Lobby for under $5.00. There were a few others which I picked up too. So I wanted the metal to look vintage and even a bit rusty, but I couldn't quite figure out how to do that. So took some of the raw umber and black mixture along with a bit of red and with a brush I just painted lightly and voila! I got the vintage look I wanted and I did the same thing to the skull and crossbones too. I think it looks great!

Next time I'll show you the finish product! So stay tuned!
