Waiting For Mom To Open Door To Patio

Pussy Cats 3

These photos were taken before Rusty came back onto the scene.  Patches was a very relaxed girl, and advised her Mom about her desires.

Patches 1 A good hiding place.

Patches 3 I’m still waiting for you, Mom.

patches-2 Mom, when are you going to open the patio?

Rusty’s First Night Back Home

Rusty continues to make a remarkable adjustment after being absent for 3 months. Patches also is making an adjustment: she seems to be more relaxed than I expected her to be. Maybe it’s because Rusty isn’t crowding her.

Pussy Cats 3

Rusty found his favorite (one of them) spot.

Rusty 1st Night Home

This was the second spot he likes.  The first one was on the bench in front of the bedroom window.  He sat on the windowsill to look out at his favorite scene:  the lake.  It seems like he is making a lovely re-adjustment.

He looks decidedly better than when I first got him home.  After a while of getting comfortable, I was able to get him to the “grooming” table, and I got to work on him.  He is still such a good boy!

Rusty 1st Night Home-Patches

Patches, on the other hand, is not so sure this is a happy surprise; however, after some coaxing by me, she came onto her favorite spot on the loveseat.  It took her a while to get comfortable here, because she was on the lookout for Rusty (who was comfortable in the bathroom sink).

The Girl Who Silenced the World for 5 Minutes

This young teenager from Vancouver Canada, is a very special person, along with her friends. She seems to care more about our environments than the people who have control over them. A must view.

Sometimes it is best to let the speaker have their own time. There is nothing I can say that this courageous young lady doesn’t say better. We are raising up many brave voices and I hope and pray that the world will listen to them.

And bless this girl with protection, hutzpuh, and love. May her life be a shining light.

Hello Everyone! I’ve Missed You All – Part 4 (Final)

Pussy Cats 3

It was with a heavy heart that I left Petsmart on Sunday.  What will become of Romeo now?

I know it is beyond my physical capacity to care for 3.  I was planning on just having Patches to be my company from now on.  I could manage with the two, Rusty and Patches.  The amount of work is just about the same.  I can’t help feeling guilty and sad.  Will this pass?  I wonder.

So, when I put Rusty’s carrier down onto the kitchen floor, he stood up and was waiting for the door to open.  He walked right out.  It was evident that he recognized his home.

Rusty walked out of the kitchen, through the living room, into my bedroom, and walked towards my bathroom.  Looked in, walked back into the bedroom, walked past the bed and went under it.

He needed time to process it all.  Patches followed…

Hello Everyone! I’ve Missed You All – Part 3

Pussy Cats 3

It took almost 2 hours to process a new adoption.  The rescue group was short-handed (they always need volunteers).

I was getting very impatient.  I wanted to get home.

We found Rusty’s carrier, and the toys I gave the adopter.  Missing were the scratching posts and cat tree I gave her; however, the special food for Rusty was there.

As I held Rusty in my arms before I put him into his carrier, I gazed at Romeo, petted him, and said, “I’m sorry, Romeo.”  I know he will miss his buddy.  I can’t help it.  I have to let him go.

To be continued…

Hello Everyone! I’ve Missed You All – Part 2

Pussy Cats 3

I contacted RU4ME organization here in Palm Beach County FL.  They are a wonderful rescue organization, and they find homes for mainly cats who need to be adopted.  Sometimes dogs too, I believe.  They accepted Rusty and Romeo.

Those two were adopted immediately.  Together.  That was the stipulation I put on them.

I texted the adopter, and she assured me, as did RU4ME, that she was a good placement for Rusty and Romeo.

For the last 3 months, I have missed them terribly, and of course, I had Patches with me, but there was an emptiness going on here.

Two weeks ago, I got a text from the adopter, telling me that she couldn’t keep them any longer, and even though she has tried to get someone to take Rusty and Romeo, she was getting panicky.  (She wasn’t the only one.)  Could I take them?  I said I couldn’t, but…

Hello Everyone! I’ve Missed You All

Pussy Cats 3

I don’t have my camera handy, but I have company again here in my office.  My absence has been long, I know.  I will try to make my post as concise as I can (I’m not known for being concise).  Here’s the story:

Way back around Thanksgiving, I started to have an attack – back and sciatica pain.  It just got worse, and if it weren’t for my sister’s and her husband’s help, I would not have been able to get through my days.  Pain was so bad, that I made visits to the ER twice.

As it got closer to Christmas time, the situation was quite dire, and I said to myself, “What if this attack will not end?  How can I keep on depending upon others to get  me through the days and more importantly, is it wise and fair to have others take care of not only…

Frank Lloyd Wright Series: Musical Surprises!

A fascinating architect. Many thanks to Cher for this series on Frank Lloyd Wright!!

The Chicago Files

Frank Lloyd Wright Children's Room 2

Continuing with our Frank Lloyd Wright series, have I got a surprise for you!  Last week I posted a photo from Frank Lloyd Wright’s Children’s Playroom

The above photo is at the ‘other end’ of the room! Can you see the choir-like area at the top?  The family used to have ‘concerts’ in this room, with an accompaniment of a Steinway piano (yes, that’s the one in the photo)!

Since Wright was, by all accounts, a very ‘particular’ sort of gent, he wanted to ensure the acoustics in the room were perfect.  Are you ready for the surprise?

Frank Lloyd Wright Children's Room 3 piano

Heading down a flight of stairs behind the children’s playroom is the back of the Steinway seemingly ‘floating’ in mid-air! Mind your head as you proceed back to the main floor lest you end up with a piano punch on your noggin!  Wright was so specific that the sound be nothing less…

New Jersey Federal Judge Paves the Way for Discrimination of Disabled Students By Religious Schools

Noticed on DisabiltyScoop:

A law suit was brought to the Haddonfield Friends School in Haddonfield, N.J. by Angela Rota, of Cherry Hill, N.J. in 2014, on behalf of her son Sky, who is now 12.

“As a private school with religious affiliation with the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) and under the control of the Haddonfield Monthly Meeting,” [Judge Joseph] Rodriguez said, “the school was exempt from the Americans with Disabilities Act.”

The judge ruled that “Quaker schools are not required to provide services to students with learning disabilities, and that the small Quaker school had not discriminated against a 10-year-old fourth grader with attention dysfunction and dyslexia who was expelled in January 2014.”

“[Rota] said Haddonfield Friends should not be able to claim a “blanket exemption” on religious grounds because the school was not overtly religious, welcomed students from multiple faiths, and made no attempt to convert them.”

Sky was evaluated by a professional and found that, although he was a bright child, he suffered from learning issues, including attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, difficulties with listening and writing skills and dyslexia.

Sky’s parents’ concerns and professionally recommended assistance were ignored by the school, including the requested extra time for tests and providing individual and small-group instruction when there were writing exercises.  Also included in the suit were charges that his teachers belittled him in class.

I believe we should be on alert.  Our hard-won rights are being washed away like the ocean’s water takes the sand as the tide recedes.  The Scales of Justice are weighted against those who are not in strong positions.  The weak are being pushed down and aside, as ultra conservatives are gaining (and have gained) stronger positions.

Disabled and minority citizens are finding their rights are being ignored in favor of those officials’ views who have louder voices and more power.  The “powers that be” are feeling their power, and they are puffing out their chests.  There is more than one way to interpret our laws and our Constitution, and those people are going for the strictest interpretation in order to keep the masses “in their place.”

People PLEASE VOTE.  Voting is the only way to make sure our “representatives” listen to our voices.   If they don’t, then they will have a very short time in office indeed.  The ultra-conservatives want it their way.  Our lawful rights are being stripped.

Religious freedom DOES NOT MEAN only for the few.  We don’t need to have the religious beliefs of some citizens rammed down our throats if we are not of that persuasion.

Freedom from discrimination of our beliefs is one of the most basic ideals.  It is the reason the original colonists came to these shores.  They wanted to practice their religion without discrimination.  Unfortunately, religious discrimination has reared its ugly head here, now.

Other forms of discrimination are appearing in stronger voices.  Religion and disability are not the only victims.  Sexual orientation is another.  I say, let live.  People of different sexual persuasion have a right to live the way they desire.  Are they hurting you, conservatives?  They want to live in peace like everyone else.

Recently, some discriminatory state laws have been signed into law, and some are in the state legislatures and will most likely be signed into law by governors.

Don’t let this continue.  Wake up!  The foundation of our country is in peril – literally and figuratively.

Dr. Jared Younger: Innovative Research on Neuroinflammation, Pain, and Fatigue

What is it that causes the chronic, severe pain and profound fatigue in patients suffering from fibromyalgia and ME/cfs (commonly known as “Chronic Fatigue Syndrome”)?  On a youtube video, uploaded on March 28th, 2016, Dr. Jared Younger is questioned about his knowledge and research on how inflammation in the brain affects the rest of the human body.

Dr. Younger received his PhD in Experimental Psychophysiology at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville. He completed his post-doctoral fellowship at Arizona State University and the Stanford University of Medicine, before taking an assistant professor position at Stanford.

In 2014, Dr. Younger joined the faculty at the University of Alabama-Birmingham (UAB). He is currently funded by the NIH, the Department of Defense, and several nonprofit agencies to develop techniques for diagnosing and treating neuroinflammation, pain, and fatigue.

Dr. Younger starts off the program by explaining, in simple terms, how inflammation is a good thing and when it turns around and becomes a bad thing that our bodies experience.

Dr. Younger talks about the hormone Leptin (what circumstances cause an uptick in the levels of Leptin?); the role of the hypothalamus; what role do the vagus nerve, cytokines and microglia play?; and many other factors controlling the inflammation in the brain.

The questions posed to Dr. Younger are intelligent, and thought-provoking (IMHO).  Dr. Younger’s responses are enlightening and are easily understood by the average person who has an interest in the subject of how inflammation in the brain causes pain and fatigue.

One of the things Dr. Younger is asked refers to the use of LDN (low dose naltrexone) which has been found to be of help to many patients.

There is so much information correlating to chronic pain and profound fatigue and the inflamed brain.  I highly recommend this one hour video, if you have the time.  Watching only a portion can be quite edifying.

Tiny Treat Box Pillow Gift

2 2018retreatbox2-001

We had a nice time at our weekend retreat. Lots of projects completed, good food and pillow gifts! I’ll share the pillow gifts in this post and the rest of the weekend photos in a second post.

We had a lunch date with my nephew at Texas Tubb’s Taco Palace on February 16th which is within walking distance of the Gail Ambrosius chocolate shop. We arrived early in the area so decided to stop in the shop. They have the best chocolate covered caramels so that was what I was thinking of purchasing.

But, the heart boxes full of assorted chocolates were on sale since it was a few days after valentine’s day. So I took the opportunity to provide retreat guests with a fancy chocolate and that chocolate needed a fancy box. So I created one!

2 2018retreatbox1-001

The stamp set is Better Than Chocolate, the patterned paper is from the Coffee Break package all complimented with early espresso ink, cardstock and seam binding ribbon.

See how to create the box wrap and decorate the top in my how to video.

Would you like to attend a future retreat? The next dates at Cattail Retreat in Poynette are August 24-26, 2018 and October 19-21, 2018. You get your own table to spread out your favorite craft, help with one meal and enjoy the scenic pond view outside the craft room. Contact me for full details and to reserve your spot.

Thanks for stopping by today!

There is a little known psychological syndrome which is common among some Christian brothers and sisters of the Baptist denomination, or other varieties of Protestants, known as A.R.A.S.

A.R.A.S. begins, as I understand from sufferers, about the age of reason. It is connected vaguely to the "Home Alone" movies which some of these brethren saw at impressionable ages. Children wake in the middle of the night in cold sweats, listening for small noises in the dark.

This syndrome causes others to play horrible jokes on the sufferers, jokes which exacerbate the illness.

These jokes involve laying a set of clothing, sock and shoes on the ground, dramatically drawing out one of the fears connected to the syndrome.

The full name of the anxiety-driven syndrome, which can only be cured by conversion to the one, holy, Catholic and apostolic Church is After the Rapture Anxiety Syndrome.

The intense fear and concurrent anxiety is caused by the overwhelming belief that one has been left behind after the rapture.

I have talked with former sufferers of this horrible fear and the anxieties of damnation and loneliness, who explained to me that only their conversion to Catholicism and the awareness that the Rapture was a Protestant aberration of truth-a heretical position-relieved them of the pain.

Sometimes, a teddy bear companion helped relieve symptoms. The cure is much more drastic. Total conversion.

Sigh, I am so glad I am a Catholic.

Contraception Five

A pastor from a church far way told a friend of mine that if he talked about contraception from the pulpit, he would lose most of his congregation. Why not? Why is he afraid of challenging his parish with the Truth? Is this a numbers game for him? Does he understand that his silence is consent and leads to the loss of faith and even souls?

I am writing about contraception because I have been in conversation with some people about this issue this week.

The number of contracepting Catholics remains one of the most serious statistics of our times.

I am not referring to non-Catholics in these statistics. Only Catholics. For the Millennial Catholics, this means that the vast majority of people who are in their parishes will not be practicing Catholics. To contracept is to be in serious sin. What does this mean for the local communities, for socializing, for bringing up your children among those who have, basically, lost their faith?

What does it mean for those who are trying to live by the teachings of the Church and do NFP? Where is their support? How do these good and faithful young couples develop great friendships when the marriages are not based on the same principals and ideals?

I do not doubt these statistics, as my experience talking with women is that the vast majority do contracept. I do not doubt these statistics having worked in RCIA for years and knowing that this topic was the big stumbling block for so many couples coming into the Church.

I have to admit, that the older women who have contracepted all their married life are the most difficult  with whom to discuss this issue. They get angry and defensive. They are convinced contraception will eventually be accepted by the Church.

They are not open. If they were open, they would be willing to discuss all the aspects.

“Data for the report come from the 2006–2008 National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG), which gathered information on contraceptive use from a nationally representative sample of women,” the Guttmacher Institute stated in “Countering Conventional Wisdom: New Evidence on Religion and Contraceptive Use.” “Our analysis focuses on women who identify as Catholic,  Mainline Protestant and Evangelical Protestant and includes information about attendance at religious services and religiosity.”
Among the report’s findings-- all of which refer to women of reproductive age (15-44):

  • 25% describe themselves as Catholic, 25% as evangelical, and 22% as mainline Protestant
  • 30% of Catholic women attend Mass weekly, while 50% of evangelicals and 24% of mainline Protestants worship weekly
  • 46% of Catholic women say religion is very important to their daily lives, compared to 77% of evangelicals and 44% of mainline Protestants
  • 98% of Catholic women-- and 99% of all women-- have at one time used artificial contraception.
  • “68% of Catholic women use highly effective methods: sterilization (32%, including 24% using female sterilization,) the pill or another hormonal method (31%) and the IUD (5%).
  • “Only 3% of married Catholic women who do not want to become pregnant rely on natural family planning

  • Weep with those who weep...........

    And we give money to these guys...why?

    CAIRO (CBSDC) — An aide to Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi claims that the Holocaust was a hoax.
    Fathi Shihab Eddim, Morsi’s senior aide, made the comments on Holocaust Remembrance Day on Jan. 27.
    “The myth of the Holocaust is an industry that America invented,” Eddim said, according to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency.
    Eddim, who is reportedly responsible for appointing editors for the country’s state-run newspapers, asserted that 6 million Jews actually moved to the United States during World War II

    Lies and misdemeanors: The real reason for the failure of Catholic marriages is contraception

    Religion News Servicequoted on another site, here linked, has an article  on the Pope's new comment on annulments  Now, when I worked for three parishes in RICA, as the coordinator and speaker, as well as group leader, it was clear, working with the priests, that many people seeking annulments were confused on the use of the term immaturity. Immaturity has never been a canonically given reason for annulments  Never. If judicial boards were deciding this as a cause, they were, simply wrong, as one can grow out of immaturity. It is not, unless a mental condition or personality disorder, a permanent cause. Those mental or psychological conditions are impediments to marriage. The inability to make a commitment must be based on something other than immaturity,

    Most people on the day of their marriage are somewhat immature about what the sacrament really is all about. Many of our parents (and I mean those of the Greatest Generation-the parents of the Baby Boomers) got married very young. My dad was 24 and my mom was 19, albeit six days short of 20. Dad turned 25 a few months later.

    Age has nothing to do with immaturity. Some people are mature at 20 and some immature at 36.

    The conditions for annulment have been clear for years and years and years.

    If local chancery offices and diocesan boards misused their power in granting annulments  then the Pope has the power and, indeed, necessity to change the canon law. But, canon law is not the problem. Interpretation has been sloppy.

    Thank God for this good Pope.

    The other HUGE elephant in the closet regarding Catholic marriages are the numbers of couples getting married in mortal sin and ergo, not receiving sanctifying grace in the sacrament, and sometimes, adding sin to sin.

    There are too many couples allowed to marry in the Church from a cohabitating relationship.

    Contraception, also a mortal sin, blocks the reception of sanctifying grace.

    i contend that many marriages fail as the couple did not receive grace and kept sinning going into marriage.

    No graces in the relationship leads the couple further and further away from God. Can He and does He intervene? Yes. But one must not presume. I know very good people who have converted from contracepting marriages. But, this is rare. They repented, and went to Confession and never sinned that sin again.

    In order for anyone to receive the grace of a sacrament, one must be in grace to receive grace, except for Confession and the last anointing. That sacrament must be offered by priests, and yes, even demanded, before a Catholic marriage takes place. If the couple have no intention of not contracepting, for example, that would constitute a bad Confession and ergo, no grace.

    God will not be mocked. He is not deceived. Be not deceived, God is not mocked.Galatians 6:7 DR

    Repenting of contraception opens the door to new life in a marriage. Confession is necessary and salutary.

    Do not be afraid.

    And, if one of the two refuse to have children, lying, perhaps, before marriage, that is grounds for annulment. Being closed to life by will is an impediment.

    Those who take part in the sacrament of marriage must be open to life.

    Anything else is not only a false commitment before God and between each other, but a misunderstanding of one of the main purposes of marriage.

    Sadly, many priests have led couples astray on these points and condoned contraception between Catholic couples.

    God help those bad priests. They have weakened the Church.

    If you are contracepting, please pray and stop. You cannot enter into the journey towards God while doing so.

    Ladies, if a man wants you to move in with him before marriage, he does not love you. If he wants you to contracept, he does not love you. He only loves his own convenience and pleasure.

    On Buried Loincloths

    There has been, of late, too much grousing among some bloggers. Now, unless there is heresy, I think bloggers should rant and rave to their little old hearts' content. However, complaints or worse, misunderstandings, have become nasty.

    I do not mind criticism, unless it is ad hominem, as that is really boring.

    But, I do mind when the prophets and priests are being stoned, virtually.

    I shall not go into detail, but there is a growing division among Catholic bloggers.

    Now, I do not expect much from the liberals except complaints, but when so-called neo-con Catholics begin to throw the virtual stones at such as Voris, Fr. Z, and yes, little old me for being strong in the Faith and not compromising, well, I guess all I can say is that I am very glad to be in good company.

    Recently, it was brought to my attention by a reader that some tweets against me were whizzing around twitterdom. I missed all of these, so I guess that is OK, and I shall not go out looking for such.

    The anti-Voris camp has grown steadily and that group just does not get it that if Jeremiah were alive today, the complainers would absolutely HATE him.

    So much for buried loincloths...

    Unless those in the Church realize that there are many different types of gifts and that some people are prophets, who are supposed to stir up the conscience and cause a stir, well....

    Jeremiah 131The LORD said to me: Go buy yourself a linen loincloth; wear it on your loins, but do not put it in water.2I bought the loincloth, as the LORD commanded, and put it on.3A second time the word of the LORD came to me thus:4Take the loincloth which you bought and are wearing, and go at once to the Perath; hide it there in a cleft of the rock.5Obedient to the LORD’s command, I went to the Perath and buried the loincloth.6After a long time, the LORD said to me: Go now to the Perath and fetch the loincloth which I told you to hide there.7So I went to the Perath, looked for the loincloth and took it from the place I had hidden it. But it was rotted, good for nothing!8Then the word came to me from the LORD:9Thus says the LORD: So also I will allow the pride of Judah to rot, the great pride of Jerusalem.10This wicked people who refuse to obey my words, who walk in the stubbornness of their hearts and follow other gods, serving and worshiping them, will be like this loincloth, good for nothing.11For, as the loincloth clings to a man’s loins, so I made the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah cling to me—oracle of the LORD—to be my people, my fame, my praise, my glory. But they did not listen.

    Personal Manifesto Two

    I started a blog in March of 2007. I stopped writing that one in 2009. I took it off the Net.

    In 2012, January, I started the blog up again. The reason why I started the first one was to continue discussions with students that could not be finished in the time given to me. Then, the 2008 election broke into the blog.

    In 2012, I was responding to the need for catechesis on line, and for sharing insights for a younger generation.

    In 2013, my goals are still the same. What I have done and what I shall do in the future is only for the up-building of the Catholic Church by teaching and strengthening Her members.

    I have a deep and abiding love for the Church and Her People. I have a thirst for Truth and Love Who is a Person.

    The exigencies of the day demand that we become strong, fast.

    Strong in orthodoxy and our spiritual lives in order to survive and spread the Good News.....

    We are baptized. We must follow this path.

    Catechism Online Link: A Reminder: The Four Sins Which Cry Out to God For Vengeance

    and here,
    Douay Catholic Catechism of 1649: Pilgrimage House, 2007 Edition

    CHAPTER XX – The sins that cry to Heaven for vengeance
    Q. 925. HOW many such sins are there?
    A. Four.
    Q. 926. What is the first of them?
    A. Wilful murder, which is a voluntary and unjust taking away another’s life.
    Q. 927. How show you the depravity of this sin?
    A. Out of Gen. iv. 10. Where it is said to Cain “What hast thou done? the voice of the blood of thy brother crieth to me from the earth: now, therefore shalt thou be cursed upon the earth.” And Matt. xxvi 52, “All that take the sword, shall perish with the sword.”
    Q. 928. What is the second?
    A. The sin of Sodom, or carnal sin against nature, which is a voluntary shedding of the seed of nature, out of the due use of marriage, or lust with a different sex.
    Q. 929. What is the scripture proof of this?
    A. Out of Gen. xix. 13. where we read of the Sodomites, and their sin. “We will destroy this place because the cry of them hath increased before our Lord, who hath sent us to destroy them,” (and they were burnt with fire from heaven.)
    Q. 930. What is the third?
    A. Oppressing of the poor, which is a cruel, tyrannical, and unjust dealing with inferiors.
    Q. 931. What other proof have you of that?
    A. Out of Exod. xxii. 21. “Ye shall not hurt the widow and the fatherless: If you do hurt them, they will cry unto me, and I will hear them cry, and my fury shall take indignation, and I will strike thee with the sword.” And out of Isa. x. 1, 2. “Wo to them that make unjust laws, that they might oppress the poor in judgment, and do violence to the cause of the humble of my people.”
    Q. 932. What is the fourth?
    A. To defraud working men of their wages, which is to lessen, or detain it from them.
    Q. 933. What proof have you of it?
    A. Out of Eccl. xxxiv. 37. “He that sheddeth blood and he that defraudeth the hired man, are brethren,” and out of James v. 4. “Behold the hire of the workmen that have reaped your fields, which is defrauded by you, crieth, and their cry hath entered into the ears of the Lord God of Sabbath.”

    Symbolic or What?

    The University of Chicago Medical Center has announced plans to turn Ronald Reagan’s childhood home in Chicago into a parking lot for President Barack Obama’s library.

    The Commission on Chicago Landmarks previously denied the Gipper’s home landmark status in 2012, according to The Washington Times, and the university subsequently scheduled demolition to begin in January. Officials claim the home does not reach landmark status because it is not architecturally significant and the nation’s 40th president did nothing notable while living there.

    The geniuses of this world, such as Steve Jobs and Ferdinand Porsche, worked not just for the day but for the furture. When, on June 8th, 1948, Mr. Porsche designed the two-seater 356, he also was drawing the prototypes for all Porsches up to the present day.

    The 911 was created in 1963, but the concepts of what a car should be had been established. The genius was to create a car for those who may not know what a car can do, but should do.
    Steve Jobs was the same at Apple, and thought ahead of the game, as it were, to create a machine which would appeal to people who did not even realize all a computer could do.

    God did the same thing. While Christ was on earth, He created the one, holy, Catholic, and apostolic Church. Those first men did not realize all the Church would be and should be, but Christ did.

    He thought ahead of His People-of course, He is God.

    But, we must do the same now. We must think ahead of what is happening in the world AND in our own interior lives in order to be prepared for the future.

    Those who are not preparing will either be lost, confused, weak, or simply not able to help their neighbours.

    As baptized Catholics, this is our responsibility-to be prepared.

    As Hamlet states, "The readiness is all".

    Ready for what? Now and the eternal now.

    Interesting Article on the Proof of God

    Wow article on the proof of God, which ends with this amazing quotation from Thomas Nagel. But, check out the entire article, please. I cannot reproduce it all here, but it is thought-provoking. And, the Rabbi has read Feser.

    The theological philosopher Edward Feser has done a great job explaining this facet of the argument (and the argument as a whole) in his book "The Last Superstition." By way of analogy, he has the reader envision a hand which is holding a stick which is pushing a stone. Would it be accurate to suggest that the stick is pushing the stone? Not really, as the hand is doing the pushing. But what allows the hand to push in the first place? The arm, which in turn is dependent on the muscles which are dependent on cells which are dependent on molecular structure which is dependent on atomic structure which is dependent on the primary forces of gravitation, electro-magnetism and the weak and strong nuclear forces which are dependent on ... what? What we'll see is that even if there were an infinite series of contingent causes such as these, we would still need a final, un-caused cause to get the ball rolling. Without it, nothing could unfold as nothing would have started the process.

    Rabbi Adam Jacobs

    I speak from experience, being strongly subject to this fear myself: I want atheism to be true and am made uneasy by the fact that some of the most intelligent and well-informed people I know are religious believers. It isn't just that I don't believe in God and, naturally, hope that I am right in my belief. It's that I hope there is no God! I don't want there to be a God; I don't want the universe to be like that. Thomas Nagel

    Thank you, Jesus Christ and Michael Voris for standing up for the Truth

    Throughout my entire life, I have heard, especially in England, "Oh, do not be so divisive. The Catholic Church is so divisive."

    Michael Voris talks this week about the fear of speaking the Truth. Those of us who have lost a job because we were whistle-blowers, before there were laws in some states protecting such, know what it is to be persecuted for the sake of Truth. Those of us who have chosen Truth over compromising sin, know what it is to be marginalized in a society which accepts compromise daily as a matter of course.

    The call to be a member of the Church Militant happens on the day of our baptism.

    We are either living our Faith, or we are compromising. Self-deceit is pretending one is a Catholic or a Christian and not following either the Ten Commandments or the Radical Gospel of dying to self.

    More than fear as a great evil, the state of living in a hidden sin, allowing one to keep on sinning and not dealing with the predominant fault, keeps people from the Truth, Who is a Person.

    Garrigou-Lagrange makes it clear in his book that we must deal with our predominant fault and it may not be what we think it is.

    Christ has very strong words to say about this:

     Revelation 3
    Douay-Rheims Bible

    1 And to the angel of the church of Sardis, write: These things saith he, that hath the seven spirits of God, and the seven stars: I know thy works, that thou hast the name of being alive: and thou art dead. 2 Be watchful and strengthen the things that remain, which are ready to die. For I find not thy works full before my God. 3 Have in mind therefore in what manner thou hast received and heard: and observe, and do penance. If then thou shalt not watch, I will come to thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know at what hour I will come to thee. 4 But thou hast a few names in Sardis, which have not defiled their garments: and they shall walk with me in white, because they are worthy. 5 He that shall overcome, shall thus be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, and I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. 6 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.7 And to the angel of the church of Philadelphia, write: These things saith the Holy One and the true one, he that hath the key of David; he that openeth, and no man shutteth; shutteth, and no man openeth:
    8 I know thy works. Behold, I have given before thee a door opened, which no man can shut: because thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name. 9 Behold, I will bring of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie. Behold, I will make them to come and adore before thy feet. And they shall know that I have loved thee. 10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I will also keep thee from the hour of the temptation, which shall come upon the whole world to try them that dwell upon the earth. 11 Behold, I come quickly: hold fast that which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. 12 He that shall overcome, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God; and he shall go out no more; and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God, and my new name. 13 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.

    14 And to the angel of the church of Laodicea, write: These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, who is the beginning of the creation of God:

    15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold, nor hot. I would thou wert cold, or hot. 16 But because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold, not hot, I will begin to vomit thee out of my mouth17 Because thou sayest: I am rich, and made wealthy, and have need of nothing: and knowest not, that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked. 18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold fire tried, that thou mayest be made rich; and mayest be clothed in white garments, and that the shame of thy nakedness may not appear; and anoint thy eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. 19 Such as I love, I rebuke and chastise. Be zealous therefore, and do penance.20 Behold, I stand at the gate, and knock. If any man shall hear my voice, and open to me the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. 21 To him that shall overcome, I will give to sit with me in my throne: as I also have overcome, and am set down with my Father in his throne. 22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.

    and in case you do not know the history

    Christ as Present in His Mystical Body

    The Eucharist, Christ's Body and Blood, revealed to us as the Real Presence, is to be honored and worshipped as the Sign of God in the World. We cannot confuse the Eucharist with the Mystical Body of Christ, which is the Church. Christ is the Head of the Church and we are the Members. He is Present to us in the Eucharist and the Indwelling of the Holy Trinity, which we receive in baptism.

    To state that the Presence of Christ is the Body of Christ is to forget that He is the Head, and we the Members. Some of us are feet, some legs, some hands and so forth according to our gifts. The Church, created by Christ on earth, as an institution which is Holy, One, Apostolic, and Catholic, is a sign of Christ's Presence in the world for all ages.

    The Eucharist is the Lord and the Lord causes the unity.

    St. Paul explains that the Mystical Body of Christ is made up of those of us who are baptized and in the Church. Here is a section from Mystici Corporis, so that we can look at the definition of the Body of Christ as present and the Presence of the Eucharist. Remember that we belong to a visible Church not an invisible one. The Mystical Body of Christ is the Catholic Church and not the Christians outside of it. That is clear in the second section here.

    14. That the Church is a body is frequently asserted in the Sacred Scriptures. "Christ," says the Apostle, "is the Head of the Body of the Church."[13] If the Church is a body, it must be an unbroken unity, according to those words of Paul: "Though many we are one body in Christ."[14] But it is not enough that the Body of the Church should be an unbroken unity; it must also be something definite and perceptible to the senses as Our predecessor of happy memory, Leo XIII, in his Encyclical Satis Cognitum asserts: "the Church is visible because she is a body.[15] Hence they err in a matter of divine truth, who imagine the Church to be invisible, intangible, a something merely "pneumatological" as they say, by which many Christian communities, though they differ from each other in their profession of faith, are untied by an invisible bond.

    15. But a body calls also for a multiplicity of members, which are linked together in such a way as to help one another. And as in the body when one member suffers, all the other members share its pain, and the healthy members come to the assistance of the ailing, so in the Church the individual members do not live for themselves alone, but also help their fellows, and all work in mutual collaboration for the common comfort and for the more perfect building up of the whole Body.
    16. Again, as in nature a body is not formed by any haphazard grouping of members but must be constituted of organs, that is of members, that have not the same function and are arranged in due order; so for this reason above all the Church is called a body, that it is constituted by the coalescence of structurally untied parts, and that it has a variety of members reciprocally dependent. It is thus the Apostle describes the Church when he writes: "As in one body we have many members, but all the members have not the same office: so we being many are one body in Christ, and everyone members one of another." [16]

    22. Actually only those are to be included as members of the Church who have been baptized and profess the true faith, and who have not been so unfortunate as to separate themselves from the unity of the Body, or been excluded by legitimate authority for grave faults committed. "For in one spirit" says the Apostle, "were we all baptized into one Body, whether Jews or Gentiles, whether bond or free."[17] As therefore in the true Christian community there is only one Body, one Spirit, one Lord, and one Baptism, so there can be only one faith.[18] And therefore, if a man refuse to hear the Church, let him be considered - so the Lord commands - as a heathen and a publican. [19] It follows that those who are divided in faith or government cannot be living in the unity of such a Body, nor can they be living the life of its one Divine Spirit.

    and again...

    40. But we must not think that He rules only in a hidden [59] or extraordinary manner. On the contrary, our Redeemer also governs His Mystical Body in a visible and normal way through His Vicar on earth. You know, Venerable Brethren, that after He had ruled the "little flock" [60] Himself during His mortal pilgrimage, Christ our Lord, when about to leave this world and return to the Father, entrusted to the Chief of the Apostles the visible government of the entire community He had founded. Since He was all wise He could not leave the body of the Church He had founded as a human society without a visible head. Nor against this may one argue that the primacy of jurisdiction established in the Church gives such a Mystical Body two heads. For Peter in view of his primacy is only Christ's Vicar; so that there is only one chief Head of this Body, namely Christ, who never ceases Himself to guide the Church invisibly, though at the same time He rules it visibly, through him who is His representative on earth. After His glorious Ascension into Heaven this Church rested not on Him alone, but on Peter, too, its visible foundation stone. That Christ and His Vicar constitute one only Head is the solemn teaching of Our predecessor of immortal memory Boniface VIII in the Apostolic Letter Unam Sanctam; [61] and his successors have never ceased to repeat the same.
    41. They, therefore, walk in the path of dangerous error who believe that they can accept Christ as the Head of the Church, while not adhering loyally to His Vicar on earth. They have taken away the visible head, broken the visible bonds of unity and left the Mystical Body of the Redeemer so obscured and so maimed, that those who are seeking the haven of eternal salvation can neither see it nor find it

    and again,

    65. For this reason We deplore and condemn the pernicious error of those who dream of an imaginary Church, a kind of society that finds its origin and growth in charity, to which, somewhat contemptuously, they oppose another, which they call juridical. But this distinction which they introduce is false: for they fail to understand that the reason which led our Divine Redeemer to give to the community of man He founded the constitution of a Society, perfect of its kind and containing all the juridical and social elements - namely, that He might perpetuate on earth the saving work of Redemption,[123] - was also the reason why He willed it to be enriched with the heavenly gifts of the Paraclete. The Eternal Father indeed willed it to be the "kingdom of the Son of his predilection;"[124] but it was to be a real kingdom in which all believers should make Him the entire offering of their intellect and will,[125] and humbly and obediently model themselves on Him, Who for our sake "was made obedient unto death."[126] There can, then, be no real opposition or conflict between the invisible mission of the Holy spirit and the juridical commission of Ruler and Teacher received from Christ, since they mutually complement and perfect each other - as do the body and soul in man - and proceed from our one Redeemer who not only said as He breathed on the Apostles "Receive ye the Holy Spirit,"[127] but also clearly commanded: "As the Father hath sent me, I also send you;"[128] and again: "He that heareth you, heareth me."[129]

    and most importantly, it is the Indwelling of the Holy Spirit which brings about this unity

    78. For indeed We are not ignorant of the fact that his profound truth - of our union with the Divine Redeemer and in particular of the indwelling of the Holy spirit in our souls - is shrouded in darkness by many a veil that impedes our power to understand and explain it, both because of the hidden nature of the doctrine itself, and of the limitations of our human intellect. But We know, too, that from well-directed and earnest study of this doctrine, and from the clash of diverse opinions and the discussion thereof, provided that these are regulated by the love of truth and by due submission to the Church, much light will be gained, which, in its turn will help to progress in kindred sacred sciences. Hence, We do not censure those who in various ways, and with diverse reasonings make every effort to understand and to clarify the mystery of this our wonderful union with Christ. But let all agree uncompromisingly on this, if they would not err from truth and from the orthodox teaching of the Church: to reject every kind of mystic union by which the faithful of Christ should in any way pass beyond the sphere of creatures and wrongly enter the divine, were it only to the extent of appropriating to themselves as their own but one single attribute of the eternal Godhead. And, moreover, let all hold this as certain truth, that all these activities are common to the most Blessed Trinity, insofar as they have God as supreme efficient cause.

    And here comes the point overlooked entirely by the author of the said pamphlet, which caused me to write these posts. Christ is the Head of the Body. We are the Body. One cannot say that the community of the Church equals the Presence of Christ the Head. Christ's Presence in the Church is that of the Bridegroom loving His Bride. The community is not some sort of cosmic Christ. God dwells within us through the sacraments and in that unity of the Indwelling of the Holy Trinity, we become one with God. We DO NOT become God.

    81. It seems to Us that something would be lacking to what We have thus far proposed concerning the close union of the Mystical Body of Jesus Christ with its Head, were We not to add here a few words on the Holy Eucharist, by which this union during this mortal life reaches, as it were, a culmination.

    82. By means of the Eucharistic Sacrifice Christ our Lord willed to give the faithful a striking manifestation of our union among ourselves and with our divine Head, wonderful as it is and beyond all praise. For in this Sacrifice the sacred minister acts as the viceregent not only of our Savior but of the whole Mystical Body and of each one of the faithful. In this act of Sacrifice through the hands of the priest, by whose word alone the Immaculate Lamb is present on the altar, the faithful themselves, united with him in prayer and desire, offer to the Eternal Father a most acceptable victim of praise and propitiation for the needs of the whole Church. And as the Divine Redeemer, when dying on the Cross, offered Himself to the Eternal Father as Head of the whole human race, so "in this clean oblation"[163] He offers to the heavenly Father not only Himself as Head of the Church, but in Himself His mystical members also, since He holds them all, even those who are weak and ailing, in His most loving Heart.

    83. The Sacrament of the Eucharist is itself a striking and wonderful figure of the unity of the Church, if we consider how in the bread to be consecrated many grains go to form one whole,[164] and that in it the very Author of supernatural grace is given to us, so that through Him we may receive the spirit of charity in which we are bidden to live now no longer our own life but the life of Christ, and to love the Redeemer Himself in all the members of His social Body.

    84. As then in the sad and anxious times through which we are passing there are many who cling so firmly to Christ the Lord hidden beneath the Eucharistic veils that neither tribulation, nor distress, nor famine, nor nakedness, nor danger, nor persecution, nor the sword can separate them from His love,[165] surely no doubt can remain that Holy Communion which once again in God's providence is much more frequented even from early childhood, may become a source of that fortitude which not infrequently makes Christians into heroes.

    85. If the faithful, Venerable Brethren, in a spirit of sincere piety understand these things accurately and hold to them steadfastly, they will the more easily avoid those errors which arise from an irresponsible investigation of this difficult matter, such as some have made not without seriously endangering Catholic faith and disturbing the peace of souls.

    86. For there are some who neglect the fact that the Apostle Paul has used metaphorical language in speaking of this doctrine, and failing to distinguish as they should the precise and proper meaning of the terms the physical body, the social body, and the Mystical Body, arrive at a distorted idea of unity. They make the Divine Redeemer and the members of the Church coalesce in one physical person, and while they bestow divine attributes on man, they make Christ our Lord subject to error and to human inclination to evil. But Catholic faith and the writings of the holy Fathers reject such false teaching as impious and sacrilegious; and to the mind of the Apostle of the Gentiles it is equally abhorrent, for although he brings Christ and His Mystical Body into a wonderfully intimate union, he nevertheless distinguishes one from the other as Bridegroom from Bride.[166]

    To distinguish between the Presence of Christ among His People and not to say that He is His People is a clear split with many post-Vatican II commentators.

    And we love this Body:

    92. But lest we be deceived by the angel of darkness who transforms himself into an angel of light,[178] let this be the supreme law of our love: to love the Spouse of Christ as Christ willed her to be, and as He purchased her with His blood. Hence, not only should we cherish exceedingly the Sacraments with which holy Mother Church sustains our life, the solemn ceremonies which she celebrates for our solace and our joy, the sacred chant and the liturgical rites by which she lifts our minds up to heaven, but also the sacramentals and all those exercises of piety by which she consoles the hearts of the faithful and sweetly imbues them with the Spirit of Christ. As her children, it is our duty, not only to make a return to her for her maternal goodness to us, but also to respect the authority which she has received from Christ in virtue of which she brings into captivity our understanding unto the obedience of Christ.[179] Thus we are commanded to obey her laws and her moral precepts, even if at times they are difficult to our fallen nature; to bring our rebellious body into subjection through voluntary mortification; and at times we are warned to abstain even from harmless pleasures. Nor does it suffice to love this Mystical Body for the glory of its divine Head and for its heavenly gifts; we must love it with an effective love as it appears in this our mortal flesh - made up, that is, of weak human elements, even though at times they are little fitted to the place which they occupy in this venerable body.

    And for the Church Militant................................

    106. Moreover, Christ proved His love for His spotless Bride not only at the cost of immense labor and constant prayer, but by His sorrows and His sufferings which He willingly and lovingly endured for her sake. "Having loved His own...He loved them unto the end."[208] Indeed it was only at the price of His Blood that He purchased the Church.[209] Let us then follow gladly in the bloodstained footsteps of our King, for this is necessary to ensure our salvation: "For if we have been planted together in the likeness of His Resurrection."[210] and "if we be dead with him, we shall live also with Him."[211] Also our zealous love for the Church demands it, and our brotherly love for the souls she brings forth to Christ. For although our Savior's cruel passion and death merited for His Church an infinite treasure of graces, God's inscrutable providence has decreed that these graces should not be granted to us all at once; but their greater or lesser abundance will depend in no small part on our own good works, which draw down on the souls of men a rain of heavenly gifts freely bestowed by God. These heavenly gifts will surely flow more abundantly if we not only pray fervently to God, especially by participating every day if possible in the Eucharistic Sacrifice; if we not only try to relieve the distress of the needy and of the sick by works of Christian charity, but if we also set our hearts on the good things of eternity rather than on the passing things of this world; if we restrain this mortal body by voluntary mortification, denying it what is forbidden, and by forcing it to do what is hard and distasteful; and finally, if we humbly accept as from God's hands the burdens and sorrows of this present life. Thus, according to the Apostle, "we shall fill up those things that are wanting of the sufferings of Christ in our flesh for His Body, which is the Church."[212]

    This encyclical was written in 1943, at the blackest times of WWII. We can identify, today, with the problems, torments and even persecutions against the Body of Christ, for which we pray.

    109. Before concluding, We cannot refrain from again and again exhorting all to love holy Mother Church with a devoted and active love. If we have really at heart the salvation of the whole human family, purchased by the precious Blood, we must offer every day to the Eternal Father our prayers, works and sufferings, for her safety and for her continued and ever more fruitful increase. And while the skies are heavy with storm clouds, and exceeding great dangers threaten the whole of human Society and the Church herself, let us commit ourselves and all that we have to the Father of Mercies, crying out: "Look down, we beseech Thee, Lord, on this Thy family, for which our Lord Jesus Christ did not hesitate to be betrayed into the hands of evil men and to undergo the torment of the Cross."[215]

Everything in my life right now is screwed up one way or another and my tolerance for all of it has all but disappeared. I want to scream, I want to run, I want to jump out of my skin to escape all of it.

Work is all screwed up. I've been in such bad shape for the past month or so I've hardly been able to get any work done. I show up and feel overwhelmed by a crushing sadness that sucks all the motivation from my bones and weighs down each movement. I sit at my desk with my eyes alternating from the work I'm pretending to do and the clock, wondering if its time to go to the bathroom yet. The bathroom is my only escape from it all. I'll walk in confidently with my thumb tack and bottle of liquid bandage and I'll let some of the frustration and pain out on myself. I know how fucked up it is, and I often debate whether or not I should do it… but if I've made it into the bathroom with my little kit, I've yet to turn back.

My friends are there for me but it feels like they're on the other side of the world. They know I'm not doing well but they have no fucking idea of the half of it. I have problems relating to people who actually know me—the people I can't fake it with—now. Deep down, I find myself resenting them for being able to do the things I can't. Everything is a struggle now. Even when I manage to get out of the house to see them I feel alienated around the couples and I retreat inside of myself. I know how awkward I am socially now and I know its a striking difference from where I was at a year ago. I just can't relate to anyone anymore.

The funny thing is, I make such good impressions on acquaintances and people I've just met. I run through my routine, charm them up a bit and nearly everyone wants to know me… only they don't. I shroud all the pain and uncertainty with an ever present sense of humor and a carefree attitude that no one would believe wasn't natural. I can't usually fake it like that with people who really know me though, sometimes I can and I know it makes everyone happier. I don't even blame them for it—no one wants a dark cloud hanging over the room.

I desperately need to see a therapist. I had one for a few weeks but he was involved in a bizarre program that only allowed patients to be seen 10 times a year. It's such a shame, I really felt comfortable with this dude and I know I could've gotten somewhere with him. He was always trying to push me to go into a therapy boot camp that required me to go four hours a day, six days a week. I told him no way. Before I left though, he helped me find some numbers of other therapists… I haven't been able to pick up the phone for an appointment. It's so stupid. How long does a phone call really take? Two minutes? Three? How awful. I have to do it, I just have to.

As for everything else in my life… it's all in a state of uncertainty. That's the way its been for awhile and the way it'll probably remain until I decide to make a stink of it. I'm such a chicken shit sometimes, it makes me sick. I've developed an aversion to confronting difficult things over the years, it's the cowards way of dealing with issues I suppose. I'm not a strong person but I need to start taking steps to make my life better. I have to take responsibility but I don't even know where to begin sometimes.

Roles and permissions in the Workspace

Table of Contents

Before you assign a role to a user, it is important to know what the role entails and what you would like to achieve. Best practice is to assign the least amount of permissions necessary.
In this article we will give you an overview of the various roles (Administrator, Owner, Editor and User) in the workspace and link to the corresponding articles. Which roles do we have, what are the permissions and how do they relate to each other?

Summarized below the four roles and corresponding permissions:

Role Permissions

User & group management

Shared Tile Groups

Single sign-on

Clientless RDP

Autotask connections

Nedap ONS connections

TOPdesk connections

Vilans KICK connections

Active Directory

SharePoint documents

Configure Office preferences

Workspace Management

App Store

API settings

Email & Exchange

Shared Spaces

Owner - Application

Manage specific applications

Owner - Shared tile groups

Manage shared tile groups.

Owner - Announcement categories

Determine who has access, create and edit announcements for specific categories.

Editor - Announcement categories

Edit or create announcements for a specific category.

Personal tile groups
Add tiles

Configure user profile (limited)

Best practices

Please take note of our article about Best Practices for the workspace.

The administrator has the most permissions. A workspace administrator can configure the following:

  • Subscriptions: change the subscription of workspace environment by downgrading or upgrading to a lower or higher subscription. This will remove or add license features.
  • Announcements: easily inform people in your organization on news, updates, accomplishments or anything else you want to share by creating announcements.
  • Creating new users: import users from Office 365 and Office 365 groups. It is recommended to create users in Azure, not the workspace.
  • User groups: this is recommended in case of bigger workspace environments. Organize applications and permissions by creating user groups and configure group permissions (Group permissions and Group Management).
  • Shared Tile Groups: create a specific combination of tiles which can be offered to users directly and force these shared tile groups directly on the main page. This will save a lot of time for the users. Only administrators can change the organization and content of tiles which are placed in shared tile groups.
  • Single sign-on: enable SSO and decrease login procedures for workspace users.
  • Clientless RDP: configure clientless RDP for users to get access to all your remote applications from any device, without installing anything.
  • Autotask connections: track IT tickets and projects which supports the IT services within your company. Provide internal IT support and Managed Service Providers to provide support to your customers from the Autotask tile overview. As an administrator you can also configure one Autotask for multiple workspaces on an instance.
  • Nedap ONS connections: configure this is a Micro App for healthcare, which includes a Planning and a Clients live tile.
  • TOPdesk connections: configure TOPdesk for a single or multiple workspaces on an instance. This way, IT Support and other employees can instantly view and open support tickets from the TOPdesk live tile
  • Vilans KICK connections: with this Micro App you effortlessly search through all KICK protocols with the search function, and open the protocol you need with one click.
  • Active Directory: enable Active Directory Sync from the workspace and an authentication token will be generated and displayed in the corresponding field. Choose to manage the administrator role from the workspace or Azure AD.
  • SharePoint documents: if you want to use SharePoint in the documents app, you can configure SharePoint as an admin in the SharePoint documents settings.
  • Fileservers: you can also choose to set up Fileserver(s) in combination with SharePoint or as the only document store. Configure the fileserver URL and make sure the fileserver is accessible via WebDav SSL.
  • Open files in local or online Office applications: The administrator can set permissions on how users can open documents in local applications of Office or in the online version.
  • Workspace management: configure workspace templates for users and configure automatic reordering of tiles within shared groups
  • App Store: create, edit and manage applications for its users.
  • API settings: provisioning API is intended for provisioning and managing workspace 365 resources. Everything about the API documentation can be found here.
  • Email & Exchange: configure Email/Exchange if you have Exchange Online. It is also possible to configure Exchange On-Premises. In that case you need to configure the Exchange EWS URL and provide the user credentials to access the mailboxes. More information about Email configuration can be found here
  • Templates: set up the workspace as a template for new users within seconds. When saving a template of the current workspace, the template is updated with all the personal app groups that the administrator has set in his/her own w It is also possible to return to the default workspace.
  • Branding: brand your workspace to your liking by selecting the colors, workspace logo, home logo and even the product name.
  • Shared Spaces: bring more structure to the workspace by creating spaces for different user groups. Within these spaces, shared tile groups can be created.

Owner - Application

Only the administrator can assign the role “owner”.

  • App owner: Manage specific applications. You can alter the app settings, determine who has access or even assign another user as app owner. You can also change which applications are shown inside the shared group if you have permissions for that specific application.

Owner - Shared tile group

  • Shared tile group owner: Manage shared tile groups. You will have the permission to change contents of that shared group and determine who has access to the group.

Owner - Announcement category

  • Announcement category owner: Determine who has access and create announcements for a specific announcement category.

Editor - Announcement category

  • Announcement category editor: As an editor, you can only edit or create announcements for a specific category.

As a user, you will have the least amount of permissions unless permission are granted by the administrator or group owner. By default, you can;

  • Edit your own workspace by creating personal tile groups
  • Adding tiles
  • Configure your user profile, e.g. your birthday or profile picture.

Creating product options

Add options, like sizes and colors, to your products like this:

1. In Online store settings, click on Catalog and then Products.

2. Select the product page you want to edit by clicking on the product.

3. Go to the Options tab and click on Add New Option to add a product option and related parameters.

4. Add the name of the option (in this example, size) and the input type (here, radio buttons).

For the next few days, I will be out-of-contact all day, in a closed-off seminar room with no windows, listening to how to become a better me (maybe I need some prayers.)  My awesome husband will continue the ‘Meaningful Easter Prayer and Meditation Activities’ over the weekend with the kids (maybe he needs some prayers.)

Fri, March 30th   2. Reflections– Gather together a collection of mirrors, one for each family member. Spend the quiet time ‘gazing into the mirror, and examining the reflection that stares back at you. Meditate on God’s abundant love for you.’ “Thank you God, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.”

Sat, March 31st   3. Prayer Chain– ‘Prayer links us to God and to one another.’ Think about friends, family, and strangers that are in need of prayer. Write their names on strips of paper and tape ends together, forming a ring, linking to someone else’s ring, creating a continuous paper chain. ‘Joining your prayers with those of others can help link all of us more closely with God.’ Hang your paper chain up with your other Easter decorations, and add to it as the week moves along.

Sun, April 1st   4. Joyful Noise– String beads and bells onto thick thread to create a bracelet. ‘Wear your jewelry this week to remind you to make a joyful noise to the Lord wherever you go. Every time you hear the bells, thank God for someone or something in your life.’

The ‘text’ and prayers are replicated, with permission, from our youth minister, Robin. My comments on yesterday’s 1st activity: it was a little difficult for my 5-year-old to stay quiet at first, but after he got the intention, he drew-a-prayer for the dog, and my 10-year-old drew-a-prayer for the 5-year-old. Please share any revelations from your experiences in the comments below.

Thanks for reading and sharing!

~Susan Bee

A graphic designer by trade, inventor by observation, and entrepreneur by hard work… Susan Bee Walker is owner and designer at Susan Bee Goods and inventor of Peepsnake® The Smart Phone Scarf.

Fall 2010, juggling phone, keys, and lip balm on a soccer field, I was trying to take a picture of my four-year old playing in his first game. I dropped everything in the MUD!! I thought “There’s gotta be a better way.”– I didn’t want to lug a purse around the soccer field; or worry about dropping, losing, or leaving my phone behind; and avoid dragging my phone in and out of pants or jacket pockets but be hands-free. I wanted accessibility, security, and convenience. Doesn’t everyone?

Moving along raising and organizing kids, and devoted to my iPhone to keep it all going, I started altering my accessories to fit my own dirt-free needs. Serendipitously, my husband said, “You do realize this is how new products are born? If you have a problem, chances are other people share the same problem.”

After thousands of hours of research, development, and bootstrapping… the patented Peepsnake® launched in Fall 2012. The Smart Phone Scarf secures a very important and jolly fan supporter just in time for the holiday season!

After enjoying six years of amazing press shoutouts, selling live on-air QVC, and being invited to be an Amazon Prime distributor, Peepsnake graduated to college in Fall 2018 with a licensing deal! Update: The inventor’s dream… I received my first royalty check!

What am I doing next? I’m creating, designing, marketing, and moving your business ideas forward.

Free Kindergarten Number Sense Games

October 17, 2019

Number sense in kindergarten and first grade is where we usually start in our math instruction. To help students become more fluent in their understanding of numbers, I have three fun math games students can play to practice.

All three games are SUPER simple. You’ll just need to print and play. I particularly like these games, because they are very easy to make seasonal. Instead of cubes, you can use Halloween erasers. You can grab seasonal stamps! In the video I share below, I explain how I use them during the Halloween season, but I also share tips on making them easy-to-use all year long!

Take a few minutes and see how to play all three games below:

After you watch the video and see how to play, you can grab all the printables here >>> recording sheets.

If you happen to like these games, you’ll also love these blog posts about other number sense activities:

Tower Races – fun number sense game

Find the Fish – number sense game

Looking for more standards-based math games that will engage your learners and save you lots of time?!

Join hundreds of primary teachers over in the SJT Math Club:

Pin to remember this game:

Kindergarten and first grade students need tons of practice with number sense. They need to see and feel the numbers over and over throughout the year. Over on the blog post, I went ahead and shared 3 fun and FREE games to help your students practice number sense. #kindergartenmath #numbersense #firstgrademath

   In the end, I would imagine that it really comes down to one question. Did I live a happy one?”

Terms and Conditions

I am so grateful that you are here and are interested in working with me. I am honored. Here are the legalities of our work together.

  1. All service purchases are non refundable. I do, however, honor the credit for one year. In the event that something major has happened in your life (like you are moving to Bangladesh) we can discuss postponong services for an agreed abount of time so your credit doesnʼt expire.
  2. Once your appointment is on my calendar, you have 24 hours to purchase it. If you do not, your appointment will be automatically deleted off my books.
  3. I typically book 1 month out, if you want to get on my priority cancellation list, you need to purchase a session in advance. Then if someone cancels, I notify you and Bam, we slide you right in.
  4. Because the work that I do for you, begins 24 hours prior to our reading when I sit in meditation and pull your energy, I need you to cancel prior to 24 hours before your reading. If you cancel last minute or within that 24 hours, you will not receive credit for that appointment.
  5. Contract work: When you and I agree to contract work and start on this journey down your path together it is so important that there is no contraction between the two of us and money. The energy of money is really neutral but our feelings and beliefs around it is not. Because of this, We handle the financial part first. All monies are to be paid up front and on time prior to our work beginning.
  6. I am 100% + committed to this work with you and I know that you are really excited to begin as well. Here is what I find though, if you do not have your money invested fully before we begin, then energetically you are not fully in engaged. Additionally, You will not receive any money back guarantee from me, because when we come at this intense work with the attitude of “well, if this doesnʼt work, I can always get my money back.” then the energy of your commitment is compromised.
  7. When you and I are engaged for contract work, this is to help you on a very specific journey, This is not an hourly committment and your time with me is not transferable to other people or for other services. We agrre to walk a path together and where as it may take many forms, I am here for the purpose of that path only.
  8. I am a tax write off! When you sign a long term engagement with me for the amount of $3,000 or more, you can write me off on your companyʼs taxes. Who doesnʼt love that!!!!
  9. Copyright infringement: I have worked very long and very hard and so has my attorney getting all of my intelectual property copyrighted. You are under no circumstances to use what I teach you to teach others or take credit for. We are so excited when we learn something new that will help the world, I appreciate that, but unless you have purchased a liscensing agreement from me for one of my programs and have been trained by myself, you do not have the authority or my permission in anyway to replicate it or teach it.
  10. By making a puchase through my shopping cart you automatically agree to all of my terms and conditions.
  11. If during our work together, you for any reason, have an affair on your spouce or partner. I reserve the right to immediately terminate our working together and all monies are non refundable.
  12. Thank you a million times over for entering into my life and allowing me to help you with your. I am honored.

RevUnit, an Employee-Experience Focused Firm, Has Year of Growth and Recognition

BENTONVILLE, Ark.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#E360--Founded on the belief that enduring businesses are built through great employee experience, RevUnit has been celebrated in the business world this year with a host of awards alongside their continued growth. The recognition includes being honored for third consecutive year in both the Inc. 5000 and Entrepreneur 360, and being named a Best Place to Work in Arkansas Business.

Driven by the team-created values, the experience of working at RevUnit is something the business invests in. Bi-annual company all-hands meetings, work from anywhere policies, and an emphasis on modern ways of working have earned the company national recognition for their workplace culture. This year, they were recognized as one of Arkansas Business’ ‘Best Places to Work’. This success has allowed the company to continue growing their team to meet demand.

Their focus has fueled their business success. They are one of a handful of companies to be honored for the last three years by both Inc. and Entrepreneur. This year they placed 13th on the Entrepreneur 360™ list, up from 34th last year. RevUnit also placed 754th on the Inc. 5000 up from 1,228th in 2018, showcasing the tremendous growth of the business.

Brian Hughes, the company’s CFO, was awarded Small Private Company CFO of the Year by Arkansas Business. And the company’s co-founder, Joe Saumweber, was named an Arkansas Influencer in Business by Arkansas Money & Politics.

To cap off the success of the year and to continue to grow the business, RevUnit brought a financial partner into the mix, Mountaingate Capital — recognized as one of the top 50 founder-friendly private equity firms by Inc. Magazine.

RevUnit helps the world's most influential companies transform from the inside out. Its focus is on creating workforce technology to unlock people inside the enterprise to be more efficient, knowledgeable, and engaged in their work. They’ve worked with companies like Walmart, Unigroup, and H-E-B.

Comments on: SOA 12c – Using Schedule Job activity in BPEL A Blog on ADF, WebServices, SOA, OSB and others that excites me.... Wed, 09 May 2018 05:51:57 +0000 hourly 1 By: svgonugu Thu, 09 Feb 2017 16:57:23 +0000 In reply to valerybonnet.

Did not come across that option till now and I am back to 11g since some policy sets work for your scenario. This way, during server provisioning itself you can setup policy set oe GPA.

By: valerybonnet Wed, 08 Feb 2017 13:50:21 +0000 Hi Siva.

Just a question about the wsm-assembly.xml file, where the OWSM Policy and the csf-key are defined….

Do you know how it is possible to “override” this policy, in the “configuration plan” or somewhere else ? (In fact, I have to deploy my composite in different environments, and in DEV env (for instance), the REFERENCE service has no authentication set…)

By: svgonugu Mon, 25 Jan 2016 05:46:19 +0000 In reply to Cham.

Yes. you are right. typically when we schedule a job we will not be able to provide input for each job run. So it typically used for batch jobs, like process all inventory transaction for a day or something like that..

By: Cham Fri, 22 Jan 2016 16:23:47 +0000 Hi Siva,
I have seen you use {ESS_REQ:} to obtain input for the schedule job. Can you please provide a practical scenario for this if the scheduled job is running every 10 mins and where or how or what kind of input it obtains. I am pretty sure we cannot manually feed the input through em console every 10 mins. So I would like to know from where or how the application then new job accept the input to process.

Swan City & New Image Youth Center

Swan City & New Image Youth Center (NIYC)

The Black Lives Matter movement has deeply moved Andrew and Jeff - so much so that Swan City took the firm stance to remove all products not related to this movement, create five unique and limited products, and send 100% of proceeds from those products to a black owned or aligned organization that was locally supporting our community. That was only six days ago and the reception from the community and showing of support has exceeded their expectations. But even with donations they were left with the feeling that more could be done.

Thanks to a Swan City supporter we were told about New Image Youth Center, a locally black owned organization that has been a safe haven for Parramore youth for going on 16 years. NIYC is one of the longest-serving youth organizations in the Parramore community, and provide a range of services to students in grades K-12, at no cost to participants. To be honest we both felt ignorant and ashamed to not have known about this amazing organization and its founder, Dr. Shanta Barton-Stubbs, sooner. Andrew met with Dr. Barton-Stubbs on June 9th and in talking with her about NIYC was moved to do more.

As of June 13th, the remaining proceeds from our products sold will go directly to NIYC and the mission led out by Dr. Shanta Barton-Stubbs. Additionally, we are committed to dedicating our own time to volunteering with NIYC because we believe that children are our future and deserve all the opportunities that can be awarded to them. We know that through these children and our partnership we can create lasting change in our City Beautiful. For anyone interested in donating directly to their cause please feel free to do so. And those that can volunteer time or services to this amazing organization can reach out to myself or directly to Dr. Shanta Barton-Stubbs.

We are nothing without our community and our diversity stems from our ability to come together and rise up. We hope that you will rise up with us.

Peace, love & swans,

Andrew & Jeff
