ALBANY, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) — New York State Senate Majority Leader John Flanagan (R-Smithtown) said Sunday that he recently sought help for alcohol dependency.
Sources told CBS2 Political Reporter Marcia Kramer that Flanagan sought treatment for alcoholism at the end of the Senate's session, and that the treatment is now completed.
Flanagan said in a statement that he "recognized that alcohol was becoming a crutch to deal with pressure I was under related to my responsibilities as Majority Leader of the New York State Senate," and "proactively took control of the situation and sought immediate help so I could overcome it and move forward."
"I took this step to ensure this dependency would not affect my ability to do my job or represent my constituents or the members of our Senate Republican Majority," Flanagan said in the statement.
Flanagan said he needed to seek help for the sake of himself and his family, and noted that he has much more to accomplish in the time ahead as a public service.
He also urged others to seek help if they need it.
"If you find yourself becoming dependent you not only have a responsibility to your family and colleagues to recognize it, but to proactively engage the programs that are in place that will help you," Flanagan said in the statement. "No one is immune. Seek help and regain your personal pathway through life."

But as for You...
2 Timothy 3 (ESV) But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people. For among them are those who creep into households and capture weak women, burdened with sins and led astray by various passions, always learning and never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth. Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, men corrupted in mind and disqualified regarding the faith. But they will not get very far, for their folly will be plain to all, as was that of those two men. You, however, have followed my teaching, my conduct, my aim in life, my faith, my patience, my love, my steadfastness, my persecutions and sufferings that happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium, and at Lystra—which persecutions I endured; yet from them all the Lord rescued me. Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, while evil people and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.
"The last days" will be times of difficulty, St. Paul says. When is this? Today, and every past day since Jesus ascended into heaven! So let us not delude ourselves with nostalgia for "the good old days" or with utopian dreams of "progress." The reality is, we live in "the present evil age" (Galatians 1:4) until Christ returns in glory.
This is foremost because of Satan: "Therefore, rejoice, O heavens and you who dwell in them! But woe to you, O earth and sea, for the devil has come down to you in great wrath, because he knows that his time is short!" (Revelation 12:12). In fact, the term Paul uses above for "difficulty" is only employed one other time in the New Testament, to describe "fierce" demon-possessed men: "When Jesus came to the other side, to the country of the Gadarenes, two demon-possessed men met him, coming out of the tombs, so fierce that no one could pass that way" (Matthew 8:28). The devil never takes a holiday!
We see manifestations of the diabolical difficulties described by Paul all around us: "lovers of self" look out for #1, "lovers of money" exploit others, "proud, arrogant, abusive" language permeates social media, children who are "disobedient to their parents" behave the same way in schools, people are "ungrateful" for the blessings we enjoy in this good land, "unholy" folks desecrate morality, "heartless" parents and doctors murder the unborn, "unappeasable" special-interest groups rave on, etc.
But let's get personal: how often have you "slanderously" gossiped, lost "self-control," acted in a "brutal" manner toward your neighbor, didn't "love" good but delighted in evil, "treacherously" betrayed a friend, behaved "recklessly," swelled "with conceit," loved pleasure rather than God, and dressed up your life with "the appearance of godliness" to hide your secret sins?
"Avoid such people," says Paul. Lord, have mercy! Do we have to avoid ourselves?
No, while we can recognize some or all of these behaviors in ourselves, St. Paul is describing people who "oppose the truth, men corrupted in mind and disqualified regarding the faith." In other words, unbelievers, who live in manifest impenitence, with their minds set "on the flesh": "For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God's law; indeed, it cannot. Those who are in the flesh cannot please God. You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him. But if Christ is in you, although the body is dead because of sin, the Spirit is life because of righteousness" (Romans 8:7-10).
Sinners we are, but in Christ, we have a Savior from sin, death, hell, and the flesh. Baptized into Christ, we have received the Holy Spirit to give us a new heart and a new mind, which seeks to "submit to God's Law" by rejecting vice and embracing virtue. Of course, this happens in great weakness, which certainly keeps us humble, recognizing our need for constant repentance.
Since the world around us is in the hands of the Evil One, "all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, while evil people and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work."
There is great power in godliness, great power in using the Word and Sacraments, since the Holy Spirit works through them to help us daily put to death the Old Adam with his vices so that a new man may arise each day to live in newness of life. The world will reject the Means of Grace, but as for you, they "make you wise for salvation" and equip you "for every good work."
Prayer: Merciful God, for freedom You have set us free through Christ's liberating death and resurrection. In this freedom, teach us to live in the fruit of the Spirit given us in our Baptism that we may bear in our bodies the fulfillment of the Law as we love our neighbors as ourselves; through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.

Monday of Trinity 4
To Judge or Not to Judge?
Luke 6:36-42 (ESV) Jesus said, "Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful. Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven; give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you." He also told them a parable: "Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not both fall into a pit? A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone when he is fully trained will be like his teacher. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me take out the speck that is in your eye,' when you yourself do not see the log that is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the speck that is in your brother's eye."
St. Paul writes, "But now I am writing to you not to associate with anyone who bears the name of brother if he is guilty of sexual immorality or greed, or is an idolater, reviler, drunkard, or swindler—not even to eat with such a one. For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Is it not those inside the church whom you are to judge? God judges those outside. 'Purge the evil person from among you.'" (1 Corinthians 5:11-13)
This passage makes us uncomfortable. Paul says to judge those inside the church. But Jesus said, "Judge not, and you will not be judged" (Luke 6:37). Which is right? To judge or not to judge?—that is the question!
Here is an apparent contradiction between Jesus and Paul, and our inclination would be to go with the Son of God rather than His Apostle, right? That is the route liberal Protestantism has taken, playing Jesus off against Paul, as if Jesus' words trump Paul's, or as if Paul was just speaking to a specific timebound situation and his words don't apply today, while Jesus was providing a universal, eternal principle for all of us to follow.
Of course, Jesus goes on a few verses later to tell Christians that they can point out the faults of others and call them to repentance, provided that we do not hypocritically refuse to repent of our own failings first: "Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?" (Luke 6:41). People like to rip that passage out of context and use it to exclude the possibility of anyone ever chastising or rebuking another person. But they omit what follows: "How can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me take out the speck that is in your eye,' when you yourself do not see the log that is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the speck that is in your brother's eye" (Luke 6:42).
Once the log is removed, we can see clearly to identify the speck in our brother's eye and help him out of his own transgression. This is what Paul says elsewhere: "Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted" (Galatians 6:1). The one who is "spiritual"—that is, living in repentance and being led by the Holy Spirit—actually is required to gently and lovingly try to help the erring brother recognize his sin and repent. This is not an act of judgmentalism, but of love, seeking the repentance and salvation of the sinner.
Repentance is a turning away from sin and a turning back to the Lord and His forgiveness, and it is integral to the Church's message. After all, Jesus did say, "Unless you repent, you will all likewise perish" (Luke 13:3). And He began His public ministry with this call as well: "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel" (Mark 1:15).
The Book of Concord also shows that repentance does involve turning away from sin: "When repentance and faith in Christ (Acts 20:21), or repentance and forgiveness of sins (Luke 24:46–47), are mentioned as distinct, to repent means nothing other than to truly acknowledge sins, to be heartily sorry for them, and to stop doing them" (Formula of Concord, V, 8). If no one tells me which sins to confess, seek forgiveness for, and stop doing, how will I ever repent of anything?
In fact, when Jesus says "Judge not," He is using the word "judge" to mean "publicly issue a verdict about someone" (and perhaps even punish them), and He is speaking about the way Christians are to treat one another. In Matthew 18, He provides further insight about this. When another Christian sins against you, you are not to judge that person by going and telling everyone else about it—you are to go directly to that individual and call them to repentance and reconciliation: "If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother. But if he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, that every charge may be established by the evidence of two or three witnesses. If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. And if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector." (Matthew 18:15–17)
With this passage in mind, we can see that Paul and Jesus are in perfect agreement. Public judgment is not authorized when a one-on-one confrontation about sin is called for, but if another Christian refuses to repent and the issue escalates, other Christians and perhaps the whole congregation must become involved.
The situation in 1 Corinthians 5 had become a churchwide, public issue—not merely a private matter between two Christians. A man was having a public affair with his stepmother and apparently had no intention of repenting (1 Corinthians 5:1). The Corinthian congregation apparently was going the liberal Protestant route and tolerating the public immorality. But Paul says, "Let him who has done this be removed from among you" (1 Corinthians 5:2). The judgment of excommunication Paul renders is equivalent to Jesus' "let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector." And the goal of this excommunication was "so that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord" (1 Corinthians 5:5), that is, the Church would regain a brother when he would recognize that he was hellbound, repent, and be restored to the Communion of the Church.
As we have seen from Jesus and Paul, the Christian Church must judge what is sin and what is not, and what is true doctrine and what is false. Jesus' Words about judgment do not forbid the Church's judgment of public sin or false doctrine, but actually uphold them. The Office of the Keys demands that we judge those within the Church on the basis of their public words and deeds. When public, open, unrepentance is being shown by a member of the Church—then the Small Catechism says the Keys must be exercised: "I believe that when the called ministers of Christ deal with us by His divine command, in particular when they exclude openly unrepentant sinners from the Christian congregation and absolve those who repent of their sins and want to do better, this is just as valid and certain, even in heaven, as if Christ our dear Lord dealt with us Himself."
Prayer (LSB 508):
1. The day is surely drawing near
When Jesus, God's anointed,
In all His power shall appear
As judge whom God appointed.
Then fright shall banish idle mirth,
And flames on flames shall ravage earth
As Scripture long has warned us.
5. My Savior paid the debt I owe
And for my sin was smitten;
Within the Book of Life I know
My name has now been written.
I will not doubt, for I am free,
And Satan cannot threaten me;
There is no condemnation!
7. O Jesus Christ, do not delay,
But hasten our salvation;
We often tremble on our way
In fear and tribulation.
O hear and grant our fervent plea:
Come, mighty judge, and set us free
From death and ev'ry evil. Amen.

Prodigal Son, Forgiving Father
Luke 15:1-3, 11-32 (ESV) Now the tax collectors and sinners were all drawing near to hear him. And the Pharisees and the scribes grumbled, saying, "This man receives sinners and eats with them." So he told them this parable… "There was a man who had two sons. And the younger of them said to his father, 'Father, give me the share of property that is coming to me.' And he divided his property between them. Not many days later, the younger son gathered all he had and took a journey into a far country, and there he squandered his property in reckless living. And when he had spent everything, a severe famine arose in that country, and he began to be in need. So he went and hired himself out to one of the citizens of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed pigs. And he was longing to be fed with the pods that the pigs ate, and no one gave him anything. "But when he came to himself, he said, 'How many of my father's hired servants have more than enough bread, but I perish here with hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and I will say to him, "Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Treat me as one of your hired servants." ' And he arose and came to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion, and ran and embraced him and kissed him. And the son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.' But the father said to his servants, 'Bring quickly the best robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet. And bring the fattened calf and kill it, and let us eat and celebrate. For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.' And they began to celebrate. "Now his older son was in the field, and as he came and drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing. And he called one of the servants and asked what these things meant. And he said to him, 'Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has received him back safe and sound.' But he was angry and refused to go in. His father came out and entreated him, but he answered his father, 'Look, these many years I have served you, and I never disobeyed your command, yet you never gave me a young goat, that I might celebrate with my friends. But when this son of yours came, who has devoured your property with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him!' And he said to him, 'Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours. It was fitting to celebrate and be glad, for this your brother was dead, and is alive; he was lost, and is found.' "
In Luke 15, Jesus tells us the parable of the Prodigal Son (prodigal means wasteful) and his Forgiving Father in order to teach self-righteous Pharisees of all times that the grace of God stops short of no man, that God does not desire the death of a sinner but rather he turn from his ways and live, that God desires all to repent and come to a knowledge of the truth.
When the wasteful son took his inheritance and ran, he wasted more than material goods; he wasted his father's love for him. When the younger son asks for his inheritance early he basically was saying to his father, "I wish you were dead. I want no part of life with you anymore. I'd rather go off and spend my time and money with people I don't even know." When Jesus told this story, the people who heard it would have expected the father to blow up at the son in anger and deny his request. But the father did not; he graciously granted his son's wishes.
The son quickly liquidated his share of the inheritance and headed to a foreign land with lots of cash in hand. He squandered it all, living recklessly. After the money was gone, the son was so desperate he became a servant for a foreigner just to survive, doing something that a good Hebrew would have found unthinkable: feeding pigs (the Old Testament deems pigs unclean, and Israelites couldn't eat or touch them). He found himself broke and starving in another land, but finally came to his senses. He realized that his father's hired servants were much better off than he was, so he planned to return, groveling, and make a deal with his father: he would give up the title of "son" in exchange for a position of servant in his father's house. It wouldn't be ideal, but that way at least he wouldn't be starving and broke.
So the son headed home to grovel and bargain for acceptance, but his father's behavior was totally unexpected. He still loved his son and even stood outside gazing longingly into the distance, hoping for his son's return. And when he saw the son on the horizon, the father was so moved with compassion that he ran to embrace and kiss his son. In that culture it would have been humiliating for a noble man to run: Aristotle wrote that "Great men never run in public."
But the father was so overjoyed to see his son that he tossed societal convention aside, and embraced and kissed him. And remember what the son was doing before he came back? He was a pig herder, so he was filthy and smelly, yet the father didn't care. He loved the son anyway. He was just delighted to have his lost son home again. This parable's all about the father's wasteful, unconditional, forgiving love. The sin is covered. Now all was made right again between the father and the prodigal son.
So who is the prodigal son? "Surely not I, Lord?" Yes, it is you. Read yourself into this parable. You didn't birth yourself into the Father's household, but even when you were dead in sin, He made you His child by baptizing you into His Son, giving you a place in His eternal home. But have you responded with complete gratitude and obedience and love for the Father, or have you despised Him and His gifts by wandering into sin?
You are the prodigal. By your sins you have said to Him, "I wish you were dead; I want no part of life with you; I'd rather go be elsewhere." But how does the Father respond to your sinful efforts to run away from Him? He stands waiting with open arms, longing for your return, because He has already slaughtered His Lamb, His only-begotten Son, in order to atone for all your sinful straying. He has no wrath toward you. All He wants is for you to come home, so through His Word He sends His Holy Spirit out to call you to your senses, to call you to repent and return home. When you come back to His house, He embraces you and absolves you: "I forgive you all your sins in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit." When you are a child of God in Christ, you have a forgiving Father in heaven!
Prayer (LSB 977:4-5):
4. As a father, ever yearning,
Longing to be reconciled,
Seeks the prodigal's returning,
Loving still the wayward child,
So my many sins and errors
Find a tender, pard'ning God,
Chast'ning frailty with His rod,
Not in vengeance with His terrors.
All things else have but their day;
God's great love abides for aye.
5. Since there's neither change nor coldness
In God's love that on me smiled,
I now lift my hands in boldness,
Coming to You as Your child.
Grant me grace, O God, I pray You,
That I may with all my might,
All my lifetime, day and night,
Love and trust You and obey You
And, when this brief life is o'er,
Praise and love You evermore. Amen.

Reelect Trump. Deny Justice
A new Democratic line of attack is emerging.
|John Stoehr
|Dec 11, 2018
| 3
I said Monday that no one knows anything about what's going to happen to this president in the wake of federal prosecutors alleging in court Friday that Donald Trump committed two felonies. Yes, a lot of people are saying with a lot of confidence that they know he'll be impeached, that he'll be removed, that he'll be indicted. But fact is, no one knows. That includes people saying nothing will happen to him.
Why? We have not been here before. No sitting president has ever been accused in open court by government attorneys of breaking federal law. Yes, Richard Nixon was found to have paid hush money to operatives who broke into the Watergate Hotel Complex looking for documents that might damage his 1972 Democratic rival. But those crimes came to light after John Dean revealed the existence of Oval Office tapes. In them was proof of criminal wrongdoing, but there had not been prosecutorial allegations requiring proof. In this sense, what's happening now is different from Watergate. And for that reason, it is historically unprecedented. (Allegations may be forthcoming, of course, but we don't know yet if that's the case—stayed tuned.)
All that said, there is something happening right now that we can talk about with real certainty—that criminal indictment is a greater and more immediate threat to this president than even impeachment or removal. Yes, there is a debate going on about whether a sitting president can be indicted, but what's not up for debate is this: that Trump would almost certainly be facing the same legal jeopardy that his collaborators are now facing. The only thing preventing that is the presidency.
Let's put that another way. No matter what happens from this point onward—no matter what the Mueller inquiry reveals or doesn't about conspiracy with the Russian government—the fact is that prosecutors have evidence to allege that "Individual-1," aka Trump, ordered Michael Cohen to break campaign-finance law and lie about it. Even if you believe, as Republicans do, that those crimes are unworthy of impeachment and removal (even if less severe crimes were enough to impeach Bill Clinton), few would say they should go unpunished after Trump leaves office.
In other words, the president now has a great deal of incentive to remain president, to avoid resigning for as long as he possibly can, and even to win reelection in two years, because being president is almost certainly the only thing standing between him and arrest, prosecution and prison. As Democratic Congressman Adam Schiff, the incoming chair of the House Intelligence Committee, told CBS on Sunday:
There's a very real prospect that on the day Donald Trump leaves office the Justice Department may indict him, that he may be the first president in quite some time to face the real prospect of jail time. We have been discussing the issue of pardons that the president may offer to people or dangle in front of people. The bigger pardon question may come down the road as the next president has to determine whether to pardon Donald Trump.
Isn't it interesting that Schiff would bring up the "next president"?
It could be, though I'd need to see more evidence to be sure, but it could be that Congressional Democrats are already exploring a new line of attack on this president, which, if I'm right, is rather brilliant. That line of attack would go something like this: the only reason Donald Trump wants to be reelected is to avoid prison.
It sounded so good to Democratic Congressman Eric Swalwell that he said it four times on NPR on Monday: "If the president has a very high degree of criminal exposure once he leaves office and the only reason he's not being prosecuted is because of a Department of Justice policy, that would fall on him once he left office. You don't want a president in a position who could, you know, act out or be erratic because he's fearful that losing an election would send him to jail." He added:
And so I think we have to be mindful of that. I think there's an opportunity, though, to also look at extending the statute of limitations, you know, as they exist to just pause and not run until a president leaves office because right now, it looks like if President Trump is not re-elected, he could potentially go to jail. If he is re-elected, he could avoid going to jail. We don't want presidents to, you know, be making decisions based on their, you know, jail exposure.
Making this line of attack so brilliant is that you really don't want a president willing to use the awesome power of the presidency to deny justice. That's what despots do, not leaders upholding the rule of law. So when Trump does abuse his power, and there's no reason to think he would not, then he's proving the attack against him.
The line is brilliant also because the debate as of right now isn't about whether Donald Trump committed federal offenses (the Republicans do not appear to be contesting this point much). It's about whether any president can be held accountable while he's president. Well, the Democrats can say, if Donald Trump can't be held accountable while president, then he wants to stay president in order to deny justice.
Again, nobody knows what's going to happen, but there are some things we can count on. One is that Trump broke federal law. Two is that anyone who is not the president would be in deep trouble. Three is that in being president, Trump denies justice.
So the Democrats have incentive to keep hammering at this point. Indeed, it may be, in the end, a politically preferable strategy, as it would push the electorate to push Trump out rather than take the extraordinary risk that comes with impeachment.

Top-Rated Home Services. Trusted Providers. Honest Comparisons.
Lately, there have been several major changes in how phone services in Rome City are provided. Phone service providers are working hard to supply consumers with the most up to date technology and best rates on telephone services regardless of whether they are for a home or business.

There are a few things that Rome City residents need to consider when shopping for home phone services. For instance, the kind of phone calls you make on a regular basis will drastically affect which type of phone plan will work best for you.

Long distance phone service is a great choice for those that have friends and family living outside of Rome City or those that employ their home phone for work related calls outside of their immediate area. If you make long distance calls regularly a plan that includes long distance service will most likely be much more affordable than a local plan that charges per minute for long distance calling.
Modern home phone services and providers oftentimes utilize VOIP, or Voice Over Internet Protocol. With this technology, IP (Internet Protocol) networks are used to transmit phone calls over the internet, rather than through a traditional PSTN (public switched telephone network).

It is not good for the diesel generator to be in idle state. Under this operating condition, the generator set is unloaded. How should we solve this problem?
The generator is in an idle state for a long time, and the quality of the atomization of the unit will be reduced. The quality of the atomization is related to the injection pressure of the generator set, the injector aperture and the camshaft speed. When the camshaft speed is slow, the atomization quality will be deteriorated; for a long time of idle speed, the fuel combustion will not be complete, which will cause carbon deposition and blockage.
When the temperature of the coolant of the diesel generator set is too low, the fuel can not be completely burned out. The unburned fuel will affect the oil. Once the oil changes, the lubrication effect of each part of the unit will be affected, and the wear of the parts will be accelerated.
When running the generator, it must be avoided that the diesel generator is in an idle state, and reasonable operation will not cause damage to the generator, and its service life can be prolonged.

The Transportation Security Administration wants to immediately deploy 768 new officers to the nation's airports to help relieve security checkpoint bottlenecks before they worsen as the busy summer travel season approaches.
This week the Senate approved a request by the Department of Homeland Security to shift $34 million in the TSA budget to expedite the hiring of the front-line security officers. Some of the funds would also go toward paying existing officers to work overtime at busy airports.
The U.S. House Appropriations Committee still needs to agree to the plan.
Lawmakers are now considering the request, committee spokeswoman Jennifer Hing said.
The TSA hopes to have the new officers in place this month.
The hiring surge would reverse a trend of TSA cutbacks at airport checkpoints that began in 2013.
The agency has struggled with congressional budget cuts and focused more resources on airport security behind the scenes.
"As we look ahead to the surge in summer travel, we will continue to consider a number of other steps to ensure enhanced aviation security while also maximizing efficiency at check points," Homeland Secretary Jeh Johnson said in a statement.
Passengers across the country have endured unusually long lines at TSA checkpoints.
The agency has pinned the increased wait times on a combination of factors, including an unexpected spike in air travelers and new screening procedures.

The best mesh Wi-Fi systems blanket your home in Wi-Fi better than a single standalone router can. If you find portions of your home suffer from weak or missing Wi-Fi signal, then a mesh router is the best solution, giving you whole home coverage with superb Wi-Fi performance and a seamless experience everywhere in the house. We've looked at more than a dozen mesh routers, testing the performance and usability of each to help you find the best mesh Wi-Fi kit for your home.
Because a mesh Wi-Fi system uses several devices to create a single wireless network, they are the ideal solution for large homes, handling the farthest rooms with ease and providing coverage to the different floors of multistory homes that a single router might have difficulty reaching. You can even extend coverage out to the backyard or the garage. But the best mesh Wi-Fi systems often do more than just provide Wi-Fi connectivity, featuring router-level security software, smart home compatibility for all of your connected devices, and even built-in smart speaker functions on some models.
- For smaller homes, consider one of the best Wi-Fi routers
- The best powerline extenders send your network throughout the house
- Summer savings week: The best July sales
If you're still wondering whether a mesh system is right for you, check out our handy guide What is a mesh Wi-Fi router, and do you need one? And don't miss our latest coverage, like the 2019 Eero mesh router, which offers whole-house coverage for a very reasonable price, Or check out the Linksys Max-Stream MR8300, which can be used as a standalone router, or paired with Linksys Velop extensions for a mesh network.
Whether you need a mesh system for inexpensive whole-house coverage or security that covers all of your connected devices, here are the best mesh Wi-Fi routers to buy now.
What are the best mesh Wi-Fi systems?
Our pick for the best mesh Wi-Fi system is the Nest WiFi, Google's own mesh solution. It offers excellent performance throughout the house, and features easy setup and great smart home integration. It also has a killer feature: Built in Google Home smart speakers in every mesh extension, giving you voice interaction that can extend to every room of the house.
The Netgear Orbi is another mesh networking favorite, with great performance and easy setup. The individual units deliver some of the best data speeds available, and Netgear offers a range of extensions, including weatherproof outdoor extensions and the Netgear Orbi Voice, which has Amazon Alexa built in. There's even a budget-friendly version with the slightly cheaper Netgear Orbi RBK40.
If you want an inexpensive mesh-networking solution, the Samsung SmartThings Wifi mesh router is the best mesh router for those on a budget, offering the most economical system for whole-house coverage and great performance.
For other options, we like the Linksys Velop, which can cover a 6,000 square foot home without needing to buy additional units. The TP-Link Deco M9 Plus offers super-quick setup and convenient management controls to match the house-wide signal. And the latest Eero mesh wi-fi system offers one of the best bargains in mesh networking today, with a price so affordable you'll forgive the middle-of-the-pack performance. Finally, if you're happy with the router you have, there's the Netgear Nighthawk X6S EX8000, which adds a true mesh extension to existing networks, offering better performance and ease-of-use than any basic Wi-Fi signal booster can match.
Best mesh Wi-Fi systems right now
1. Nest WiFi
The best mesh Wi-Fi system
Wi-Fi Spec: 802.11ac/dual band | Number of Antennas/Removable: 4/No | Ports: Two 1-Gbps LAN | Peak Throughput: 653.2 Mbps | Size: 4.3 x 4.3 x 3.6 inches
If you want the best mesh Wi-Fi solution available, Google's Nest WiFi is the best you can get. It offers superb performance, a dead-simple setup process and it delivers Wi-Fi coverage that can expand coverage to handle everything from a small home to large estate.
But the Nest WiFi has something no other mesh kit does, with a Google Home smart speaker built into every mesh extension. The compact units let you control the router with voice commands, along with every other connected device in your house, from smart lights to your smart TV.
Adding additional Nest extensions adds new Google Home units in other rooms, seamlessly giving you a voice assistant in any room of the house. And if you still have an old Google WiFi system gathering dust, you can add those to extend the mesh coverage, too. If you want the best and simplest mesh WiFi solution for your home, this is it.
Read our full Nest WiFi review.
2. Netgear Orbi
An excellent mesh system for the whole home
Wi-Fi Spec: 802.11ac/Tri Band | Number of Antennas/Removable: 6/No | Ports: Four 1Gbps LAN, USB 2.0 | Peak Throughput: 552.1Mbps | Size: 8.9 x 6.7 x 3.1 inches
The Netgear Orbi checks all the right boxes: strong performance, easy setup and flexibility to handle homes large and small. It's a long-time leader in the mesh Wi-Fi category, and is still one of the best mesh Wi-Fi systems you can get.
Even without the mesh extensions, the Orbi's base unit is one of the fastest routers we've ever tested. Pair it with an Orbi extension and the system easily covers a 5,000-square-foot home, and it does just as well through walls and up and down floors in a multistory home.
On top of this great performance, the Orbi also offers best-in-class flexibility, with add-on units that make it one of the best Alexa speakers, plug-and-play expansion and even weatherproofed satellite units for outdoor coverage. Pair this with excellent security and parental controls, and it's no wonder so many people love the Netgear Orbi.

3. Samsung SmartThings Wifi
The top value mesh system
Wi-Fi Spec: 802.11ac/ Dual Band | Number of Antennas/Removable: 5/No | Ports: Two 1Gbps LAN | Peak Throughput: 539.9Mbps | Size: 4.7 x 4.7 x 1.2 inches
The Samsung SmartThings Wifi uses discreet disk-shaped devices to offer whole-home Wi-Fi for less. Available in a three pack for $289 (or $120 per device), the Samsung SmartThings Wifi is the best mesh Wi-Fi system we've reviewed at this price.
But there's more to love than affordability. In addition to a low price and an easy-to-use design, the Samsung SmartThings Wifi system can consolidate everything from connected thermostats to light switches to let you take control of your digital home.
It's one of the best mesh Wi-Fi options for anyone who is into home automation. The system lets you set up pre-programmed control sequences for your connected home devices, such as timers for smart lights and powered window shades, and deep integration with Samsung's own smart home products.
All told, Samsung's SmartThings Wifi is an economical way to fill just about any home with Wi-Fi while satisfying demanding users.
Check out the Samsung SmartThings Wifi mesh system review.
4. Netgear Orbi RBK40
The more affordable Orbi
Wi-Fi Spec: 802.11ac/Tri Band | Number of Antennas/Removable: 4/No | Ports: Four 1 Gbps LAN | Peak Throughput: 549.93 Mbps | Size: 8.0 x 6.4 x 3.1inches
The Netgear Orbi RBK40 is the smaller, more streamlined version of the award-winning Netgear Orbi, and it provides a more affordable option for anyone who wants an Orbi for their moderate-size home.
You will give up a few niceties that go along with the more expensive Orbi, like USB ports for connecting printers and storage. You'll also get slightly slower performance and a smaller coverage area, but the smaller, sleeker Orbi RBK40 still delivers some of the best mesh Wi-Fi performance and flexibility.
It also works with all of the Orbi products Netgear offers, from indoor and outdoor Orbi extensions to the Alexa-powered Orbi Voice. And if the 4,000-square-foot coverage area offered by the Orbi RBK40's two units don't take care of your entire house, you can add a plug-in extension to cover the dead spots.
Read the full Netgear Orbi RBK40 review.
5. Linksys Velop
Great for large homes
Wi-Fi Spec: 802.11ac/Tri-Band | Number of Antennas/Removable: 6/No | Ports: Two 1Gbps LAN | Peak Throughput: 527.1Mbps | Size: 3.0 x 3.0 x 7.5 inches
The Linksys Velop mesh system consists of three tower-style mesh units that offer serious coverage for larger homes. Without adding additional units, this three pack can cover a 6,000-foot home with ease, and with daisy-chain support, it can stretch that coverage away from the base unit as far as you need. That wide coverage and flexibility make it one of the best mesh Wi-Fi options for larger homes.
But there are a few rough spots in the Velop's otherwise impressive mesh solution. The first is the inclusion of a ZigBee radio for connecting with and controlling a host of IoT devices – but Linksys has never enabled it.
The other is a lack of physical connections on the three Velop satellites. Each tower has a pair of Ethernet ports, but with no USB connection, it will be more difficult to use the mesh system with a printer or network-attached storage.
In our testing, the Velop was also inconsistent: It offered strong performance for one test and poor performance for the next, even when it was a second run of the same test. Given that the Velop is also one of the more expensive mesh routers we've reviewed, it won't be the best choice for everyone.

6. TP-Link Deco M9 Plus
Convenience meets security
Wi-Fi Spec: 802.11ac/Tri-Band | Number of Antennas/Removable: 8/No | Ports: Two 1Gbps LAN, USB ("reserved") | Peak Throughput: 570.5Mbps | Size: 6.0 by 6.0 by 1.5 inches
With a quick setup process and the ability to offer whole-home Wi-Fi connection while controlling all sorts of smart home devices, TP-Link's Deco M9 Plus Smart Home Mesh Wi-Fi System (sold in a three pack) can almost do it all. The Deco M9 Plus uses a trio of compact extensions that are easy to hide or mount on the wall and can cover up to 6,500 square feet with a strong wireless signal.
Built-in conveniences like security – including intrusion prevention, a malicious-content filter and infected-device quarantine – make it easy to manage your home network, but we did find the overall performance to be mediocre when the system had to deal with walls and ceilings.
While it lacks top performance, the Deco M9 Plus is still the best mesh Wi-Fi kit to get if you care more about a simple setup procedure than about top speed. And while each Deco unit has a built-in USB port, it's not enabled (yet), so there's no way to connect USB devices like printers and storage.
See our full TP-Link Deco M9 Plus review.
7. Eero Mesh Wi-Fi Router
A great mesh bargain
Wi-Fi Spec: 802.11ac/Dual Band | Number of Antennas/Removable: 4/No | Ports: Two 1Gbps LAN | Peak Throughput: 342.1 Mbps | Size: 3.9 x 3.9 x 2.4 inches
If you want a simple Wi-Fi solution that won't leave dead spots in your home, the 2019 Eero mesh router is one of the best bargains in mesh networking today. The Eero three-pack of mesh devices is affordable, and each unit is easy to hide away, thanks to its compact design. While the range and performance aren't groundbreaking, it's easy to fill a home with capable Wi-Fi signal without spending an arm and a leg.
Set up is easily handled with a smartphone, and configuration is designed for anyone to use. There's even an option for robust network security, though it comes with a monthly subscription fee. You can also connect the Eero system to an Alexa smart speaker if you want to add voice controls to your home network.

8. Netgear Nighthawk X6S EX8000
Best mesh extension
Wi-Fi Spec: 802.11ac/Tri-Band | Number of Antennas/Removable: 6/No | Ports: Four 1Gbps LAN, USB 2.0 | Peak Throughput: 526.1Mbps | Size: 8.9 x 6.7 x 3.7 inches
If you want the wide-ranging coverage of the best mesh Wi-Fi systems but don't want to give up the router you already have, the Netgear Nighthawk X6S EX8000 Tri-Band Extender provides the mesh solution for you. This wireless extension is much more than a Wi-Fi signal booster: It offers mesh capability that spreads Wi-Fi throughout your home, regardless of what brand or model router you use.
Unlike a traditional Wi-Fi extender, the Nighthawk X6S uses beam-forming and MU-MIMO technology to offer speedy connectivity and gives you the same, single-network convenience that complete mesh systems provide. And for further coverage, it can be paired with other Nighthawk X6S units to deliver that same mesh network over a larger area. With class-leading performance and easy setup, it's the best way to add mesh capability to your existing hardware.
See our full Netgear Nighthawk X6S EX8000 Tri-Band Extender review.
9. Netgear Orbi Voice
The best functional add-on
Wi-Fi Spec: 802.11ac/Tri-Band | Number of Antennas/Removable: 6/No | Ports: Four 1Gbps LAN, USB 2.0 | Peak Throughput: 607.2 Mbps | Size: 8.6 x 6.5 x 4.9 inches
The Netgear Orbi holds it's spot as the best mesh Wi-Fi system, in part, because it has unmatched flexibility, with Netgear offering several specialty units for extending coverage and adding functionality. Our favorite add-on has to be the Netgear Orbi Voice, which combines the Orbi's excellent performance and impressive range with speakers and Alexa voice control.
Officially called the Orbi RBS40V, the Alexa-fied extension adds a 35-watt amplifier, 3.5-inch woofer, 1-inch tweeter and passive bass-reflex port – all tuned by Harman Kardon audio engineers – to Netgear's signature tri-band 802.11ac Orbi extension. With it, you can use Alexa as your consolidated smart home interface, stream music right from the Orbi Voice and use any of the best Alexa skills for all of the Alexa Echo devices.
Read our full Netgear Orbi Voice review.
How to choose the best mesh Wi-Fi system for you
Finding the right mesh Wi-Fi system starts with deciding whether you even need one. If you have a large home of 3,000 square feet or more, a regular router won't cut it. The same is true of multistory homes and oddly laid out houses, which don't necessarily match the range pattern of coverage most standalone routers deliver. And even if your home looks like it may be well-served by a regular wireless router, there are plenty of obstacles and signal-disruptions that can make it difficult to get strong Wi-Fi coverage in every part of your home.
The basic guideline is this: If your router leaves you with dead spots in your home or even in your yard, you would probably be better off with a mesh Wi-Fi system instead.
Picking the right mesh Wi-Fi system is much like any other Wi-Fi device. Our reviews look at design, range and throughput performance, setup, and which settings you can adjust. We look at security protections and parental controls. We even look at whether a mesh extension is easy to adopt into your home decor, or whether it's something you'll want to tuck away out of sight. Any of our reviews will dig into these aspects of a product, and will also highlight any unique features you may want to consider in your decision making, like whether you want voice interaction, or how well a mesh solution pairs with other connected devices in the home.
For many shoppers, though, it all comes down to value — which extender provides the most for the lowest cost. So we also consider what you really get for your money, weighing what features and performance are worthwhile, and how any given product compares with other devices from other manufacturers.
Mesh routers range in price from $120 to $400 or more. Because mesh systems use multiple devices, you can generally buy a complete mesh system as a two- or three-unit package. You can also buy individual satellite units to extend a mesh network to a broader area. Individual units generally sell for $100 to 200, although specialized units offering added functions may cost more.
In the end, our top picks are listed here because they are the best mesh Wi-Fi systems you can buy. Whether it's a question of performance, value or features, we call out the products that deliver the best bang for your buck, and explain why it might be the right choice for your home.
How we test mesh Wi-Fi systems
Every router we review has been rigorously tested in our Utah and New York facilities, using Ixia's IxChariot software to measure throughput at distances that are between 5 and 150 feet. As with standard routers, we test performance at a distance to provide real-world information about coverage and speeds.
We also test how well each router transmits and receives signals through drywall, brick, concrete and even metal walls; and how each handles coverage of a two- or three-story home.
Mesh routers get additional testing to see how well each system does when sending a signal through the main router and through the included satellite units. Beyond simple throughput tests, we also perform detailed heat map testing to determine how well a mesh system distributes signals over a larger coverage area — a test that involves taking dozens of measurements throughout our lab space. We use each mesh router with several connected devices in a real home that contains thick walls.
Other factors used in evaluating the routers include ease of setup and use, software features and available ports.

Nineteenth Sunday after Pentecost, 2019
Sermon given by Father Pancras Raja, Oct. 27, 2019
"The kingdom of heaven is likened to a king, who made a marriage to his son" (Mt. 22: 2)
In this parable Our Lord refers to the celebration of the marriage festival. Marriage is called Matrimony; the one means founded by God Himself of establishing the human family and of perpetuating human society. It is therefore of highest importance to reflect upon the nature and qualities of this "sacred bond" of human family – Holy Matrimony.
- The nature of Matrimony (Marriage Contract)
Matrimony is defined as the conjugal union of two properly qualified man and woman obliging them to live together throughout life.
Marriage contract is not a mere promise, but a transfer of right on each other, and it binds the husband and wife by a tie which can never be dissolved, but by the death of one of the parties.
It can be considered either as a natural union or as a Sacrament.
In the old law it was not more than a natural contract – but instituted by God: "A man shall leave father and mother and shall cleave to his wife; and they shall be two in one flesh." (Gen. 2:24)
But it has been raised by Jesus Christ to the dignity of a Sacrament (a sensible sign capable of producing grace and holiness). Among Christians therefore every valid contract of marriage is a Sacrament. As the council of Trent declares: "God instituted marriage and rendered it perpetual and indissoluble" (Sess. 24).
The Sacramental character (Formula) "Ego conjugo vos in matrimonium in nomine Patris …." indeed elevates marriage to its highest perfection. And its indissolubility aims at the temporal and spiritual education of the children and the other ends of marriage.
2.The ends of Marriage:
1 The Principal end of marriage is to beget and rear children in the service of God. The Angel said to Tobias: "Thou shalt take the virgin with the fear of the Lord, moved rather for the love of children than for lust, that, in the seed of Abraham thou mayest obtain a blessing of children" (Tob. 6: 16 – 22)
2 The secondary ends of marriage are:
- A remedy against incontinence (lust).
- Mutual helpfulness in bearing the burdens of life
With these aims of marriage let us elevate our minds on the higher state of human dignity. When God created our first parents, He had in his mind His own INCARNATION and the Mystical Body of Christ – the Church.
The state of marriage therefore is seen to have a higher function of multiplying the human cells of the mystical body of Christ – procreating saints on earth and preparing inhabitants of heaven.
Married persons should keep in mind the principal end of their state and should avoid everything unlawful and anything opposed to its ends. (Marriage is not a license to indulge in sexuality) On the other hand, it is a state of mutual help to sanctify each other.
In the Holy Family: When the High priests espoused the Most Blessed Virgin Mary to the Most Chaste and Holy of Man, Saint Joseph, She betook Herself with Her Spouse, and having arrived at their home in Nazareth, the two Most Holy Spouses, St. Joseph and the Blessed Virgin Mary, were left at leisure and to their own counsel in their house. She spoke to her spouse Saint Joseph and said to him: "At a tender age, I consecrated myself to God by a perpetual vow of chastity in body and soul; His I am and Him I acknowledge as my Spouse and Lord, with fixed resolve to preserve for Him my chastity. I beseech thee, my Master, to help me in fulfilling this vow."
The Most Chaste Spouse Joseph, full of interior joy at the words of his heavenly Spouse, answered Her: "My Mistress, in making known to me thy chaste and welcome sentiments, thou hast penetrated and dilated my heart. I have not opened my thoughts to Thee before knowing thy own. I also acknowledge myself under greater obligation to the Lord of creation; for very early He has called me by his true enlightenment to love Him with an upright heart; and I desire Thee to know, Lady, that at the age of twelve years I also made a promise to serve the Most High in perpetual chastity. On this account I now gladly ratify this vow in order not to impede thy own; in the presence of his Majesty I promise to aid Thee, as far as in me lies, in serving Him and loving Him according to thy full desires. I will be, with the divine grace, thy most faithful servant and companion, and I pray Thee accept my chaste love and hold me as thy brother."
By divine operation the two Most Holy and Chaste Spouses felt an incomparable joy and consolation.
According to the story of St. Cecilia, despite her vow of virginity, she was forced by her parents to marry a pagan nobleman named Valerian. During the wedding, Cecilia sat apart singing to God in her heart, and for that she was later declared the patron saint of musicians. When the time came for her marriage to be consummated, Cecilia told Valerian that there was an Angel of the Lord watching over her, who would punish him if he sexually violated her, but would love him if he respected her virginity. When Valerian asked to see the Angel, Cecilia replied that he could see the Angel if he would go and be baptized by Pope Urban I. After following Cecilia's advice, he saw the Angel standing beside her.
Cecilia's Angel lover gave both Cecilia and Valerian crowns of "shimmering roses and gleaming lilies" as a sign of their sexless marriage to each other. The Angel lover also promised to fulfill whatever Valerian wished. Valerian asked that he and his brother Tiburtius be made perfect Christians. They were made perfect Christians, and holy martyrs.
The Holy family of Jesus Mary and Joseph is the model for practicing genuine love of god. Love of god is a way of life – a lifestyle – a vocation – a call, planned and well prepared by God. Family life, therefore, is the wedding feast of God's riches!
Practice of divine love consists in accepting this call of God for the wedding feast. This acceptance of God's invitation demands two dispositions. (1) Detachment, and (2) Innocence. These dispositions are the wedding garments necessary to be worthy of part taking in the marriage feast of God.
These two important dispositions are acquired by the spirit of poverty and simplicity of the Holy family. Poverty was practiced by detachment from their own selection of lifestyle, and accepting the lifestyle planned by God. Simplicity was practiced by innocence – which means sincerity in serving God alone. There was no duplicity of serving God and Mammon.
Jesus, Mary and Joseph gave up their dignity of selecting their own lifestyle for the service of God: Jesus, "being in the form of God …. emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, …. he humbled himself, becoming obedient unto death." (Philip. 2: 6-8)
The Virgin Mary, having consecrated her virginity to God with a perpetual vow of Chastity, surrendered herself to the call of Angel Gabriel to become mother of a Child! St. Joseph, had gone into the forest to be a hermit with a perpetual vow of chastity, was called by an Angel to return home to enter into marriage with a Woman!
Hence, the contemplation of the "Joyful Mysteries" of the Most Holy Rosary produces in us these two dispositions of detachment and innocence.
3 Celibacy is a better and more perfect state than marriage, if it is embraced to please God and to arrive at higher perfection, thus, to devote oneself more entirely to God's service. "He that marries does well, and he that does not marry, does better" (I Cor. VII: 38)
Exhortation: (1) Young people who do not enter the religious or priestly state do well to marry. (2) In choosing a companion for marriage young persons should seek the advice of their parents and their confessor. Among other things, children should be exhorted earnestly that they owe as a tribute of respect to their parents, or to those under whose guardianship and authority they are placed, not to contract marriage without their knowledge, still less in defiance of their express wishes. It should be observed that in the Old Law children were always given in marriage by their fathers; and that the will of the parent is always to have very great influence on the choice of the child, is clear from these words of the Apostle (Paul) "He that giveth his virgin in marriage doth well; and he that giveth her not, doth better." (I Cor. 7: 38) (3) The qualities chiefly to be desired are that the person be a practical traditional catholic. (4) Marrying without the intention of begetting children and using contraceptive methods are gravely sinful.
(5) The devotion of "Family Rosary" will bring down heavenly blessings and the unfailing protection of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Lesion: "In marriages that are truly Christian," as Fulton Sheen says: "the love of God increases through the years, not in the sense that husband and wife love one another less, but that they love God more than they love each other."
Catechism: The Duties of Married People
The more easily to preserve the holy state (of marriage) from dissensions, the duties of husband and wife as inculcated by St. Paul and by the Prince of the Apostles must be explained.
Duties Of A Husband
It is the duty of the husband to treat his wife generously and honourably. It should not be forgotten that Eve was called by Adam his companion. The woman, he says, whom thou gavest me as a companion. Hence it was, according to the opinion of some of the holy Fathers, that she was formed not from the feet (to be a slave) but from the side of man; as, on the other hand, she was not formed from his head, in order to give her to understand that it was not hers to command but to obey her husband.
The husband should also be constantly occupied in some honest pursuit with a view to provide necessaries for the support of his family and to avoid idleness, the root of almost every vice.
He is also to keep all his family in order, to correct their morals, and see that they faithfully discharge their duties.
Duties Of A Wife
On the other hand, the duties of a wife are thus summed up by the Prince of the Apostles: "Let wives be subject to their husbands. that if any believe not the word, they may be won without the word by the conversation of the wives, considering your chaste conversation with fear. Let not their adorning be the outward plaiting of the hair, or the wearing of gold, or the putting on of apparel: but the hidden man of the heart in the incorruptibility of a quiet and meek spirit, which is rich in the sight of God. For after this manner heretofore the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands, as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord." (I Peter: 1 – 6)
To train their children in the practice of virtue and to pay particular attention to their domestic concerns should also be especial objects of their attention. The wife should love to remain at home, unless compelled by necessity to go out; and she should never presume to leave home without her husband's consent.
Again, and in this the conjugal union chiefly consists, let wives never forget that next to God they are to love their husbands, to esteem them above all others, yielding to them in all things not inconsistent with Christian piety, a willing and ready obedience.

Place the coffee beans and cardamom in a pestle and mortar and crush to a very coarse consistency – there should still be small chunks of coffee beans.
- 2
Place the crushed coffee mixture, cardamom and cold water in a large glass jar. Stir well to combine, seal and leave overnight to infuse, a minimum of 12 hours (24 hours is best).
- 3
Strain the mixture through a fine sieve or muslin. Fill 4-6 large wine glasses with ice then pour 60ml cold brew coffee over each. Divide the orange blossom water between the glasses, add an orange peel to each and top up with tonic water.

Stir to mix everything together. Hold a lighter to the remaining orange peel before squeezing, causing a burst of orange oil to flame. Run the orange peel across the rim of the glass, and serve immediately.
Make a big jug of the cold brew coffee mix or serve it in a punch bowl so guests can serve themselves.
