In our comprehensive efforts to compile a complete listing of the Internet service providers that cover America, one state kept coming up again and again Iowa. It turns out that, with 350 providers, Iowa has more Internet providers than any other state in the nation. But, besides an abundance of providers, what does the Hawkeye State have that the rest of us dont. Why do they have so many companies vying for their Internet business, when there are huge areas of many states that are woefully underserved? We took a closer look.
Named after the Native American Ioway people, on the surface Iowa looks like pretty average. It is the 26th largest state in terms of land area, and the 30th most populated state. It is geographically located in the middle of the country. One of the safest states in the nation, it has been named the 6th best state in the country according to CNBC. It has a largely manufacturing economy, accounting for over 21% of the Iowas gross state product. While food processing is the largest portion of that, the state is also a major producer of heavy machinery and agricultural chemicals. But none of this explains why Iowa has better accessibility to the Internet than any other state.
The Reasons for Accessibility
While there may be a variety of factors that have contributed to the influx of Internet service providers in Iowa, pinpointing the actual causes is a challenge. We have compiled a variety of likely reasons that have led to Iowa becoming the hotbed of accessibility in the nation. Healthcare, education, and the economy are all important leads that may have been the impetus for the large number of ISPs in the state.
- Healthcare has likely paved the way for increased Internet accessibility. The lower cost of medical services for those in rural areas, has likely increased the availability of ISPs throughout the state. Telemedicine is increasingly the norm and the federal government has plans to encourage it. Incentives from the government are likely to promote an increase in ISPs.
- The fact that the state was ranked #1 for the cost of doing business and is one of the top 10 states in the nation for its economy, has also likely encouraged ISPs to set up shop in Iowa so they are ready to take advantage of an inevitable surge in business.
- Providing educational opportunities for a population that largely stays within its home state can spur an increase in ISPs. Over 72% of those living in Iowa were also born there. That means in order to provide a specialized, educated labor force, educational opportunities online or close to home needed to be available, and in the past 20 years, high speed Internet has been an increasingly major component of post-secondary education.
- Telework has increased globally and Iowa is no exception. The desire for Iowans to remain in their native state, has likely helped to encourage the establishment of broadband Internet services in order to meet the needs of teleworkers.
- Todays farmers are increasingly dependent on Internet access for information critical to the efficient running of their farms. Because food processing is significant to the states economy, it is in the best interest of the state to have ISPs providing service to farmers. Farms have increased opportunity for productivity when there is access to the Internet.
- An increase in E-commerce has also likely propelled the increase in ISPs. The Iowa economy has seen an increase in e-commerce, which has helped to increase efficiencies in production, improved marketing efforts, and helped to diversify customer bases of companies who have chosen broadband Internet. In fact, practically every small business today is using the Internet to promote their offerings and run more efficiently.
The Need Is Not Met
While there are high numbers of ISPs in Iowa, especially compared to many other states in the nation, the reality is that there are still large numbers of people living in the state who do not have broadband access. An alarming over 113,000 school-aged children there are without at-home broadband access. While a part of this may be due to economic factors, it is also likely because there are still geographic discrepancies between rural and urban communities when it comes to broadband access.
Out of those who do not have broadband Internet in Iowa, two-thirds of them have shared that they would be able to more easily shop, deal with government departments, and even get healthcare if they had home high speed Internet access.
There are an astonishing 650,000 Iowans of working age in need of help with computer and Internet-based tasks, such as sending email, creating spreadsheets, using a mobile device to go online, or using word processing software.
In a state where there is a huge effort towards connectivity, its no wonder that there are so many providers of broadband service. Take the time to compare the offerings available to you before making your decision.

A SEP IRA is a Simplified Employee Pension individual retirement account. SEP IRA contributions are tax deductible, and the money grows tax-free, but you have to report distributions from your SEP IRA as taxable income when you make a withdrawal. When you make a contribution to your SEP IRA, you will receive a form 5498 from your financial institution documenting your contribution. The tax deduction for making SEP IRA contributions is an adjustment to income, which means that you can claim the deduction on top of the standard deduction.
Complete form 5498 from your financial institution documenting your contribution. If you have multiple SEP IRAs that you contributed to during the year, gather all of them. The form will show your SEP IRA contributions for the year in "Box 8".
File your taxes using form 1040. In order to claim a deduction for your SEP IRA contribution, you cannot use form 1040EZ or form 1040A.
Report the amount of your SEP contribution on "Line 28" of your form 1040 tax return. This amount will be deducted from your taxable income when you calculate your adjusted gross income.

Momento da conversa entre Presidente João Lourenço e Papa Francisco
Photo: Cedida
"Welcome, Mr. President," greeted the Holy Father in Portuguese. "Thank you very much. It is a great honor for me," replied the Angolan head of state in a long, brotherly handshake.
Speaking to Vatican Radio, the Angolan head of state said that the talks were about cooperation between both countries, having informed Pope Francis that Angola, being a secular state, promotes healthy coexistence among the various religions.
"We talk about Angola, in general, about its social and economic problems. I received a lot of advice from the Holy Father. I must say that I am very pleased with the way the audience took place, both me and the first lady and the delegation accompanying me," he said.
In this perspective, João Lourenço stressed that it was worth the trip to the Vatican, and Angola considers this meeting of great importance for the consolidation of relations between the two states.
At the end of the 30-minute meeting, the two leaders exchanged gifts. President João Lourenço offered a canvas "Mãe Alegre", a work of Angolan artist Guizef, artistic name of Augusto Zeferino Guilherme.
The Pope then presented the Angolan Head of State with a book about Saint Martin, Bishop of Tours (France) who died in 397 AD.
Cooperation between Angola and the Holy See has been marked by an excellent relationship in the Education and Health sectors.
The parties signed last September a Framework Agreement in which Angola recognizes the legal personality of the Catholic Church and the ownership of its properties in the country.

When freshman Marina Bone browsed through her pictures from this semester's equestrian competition, she realized her team was doing Hillsdale College proud, right down to their ribbons.
"The colors of ribbons we win are always red, white, and blue — for first, second, and fourth places," Bone said. "We always think that's funny, because it's so Hillsdale. It just happens to work out that way, but there's a couple pictures of us like that, where we look very American and very Hillsdale."
Bone is the lone freshman on a six-woman equestrian team that has brought home plenty of ribbons from their four meets this fall — putting them in a promising position for their next two chances to qualify for regionals next semester.
At their last meet in Albion, Bone won 1st and 2nd places in her jumping and flat course events, respectively, continuing a trend from throughout the season. Junior Genevieve Chiara placed fifth in her flat course class, a victory that gives her enough points to have a chance at regionals in the spring.
For the uninitiated, the moving parts of a equestrian show can be dizzying, but Chiara described the point of all events in the meets as a test of riders' showmanship.
"You're getting judged on your own equitation or rider ability," Chiara said. "You need 36 points, which you earn by placing, to point up into a new division, and also to qualify for regionals."
Riders can't lean on their relationship with their horse in proving their showmanship; the horses are chosen by electronic draw.
This is one of the sport's most significant challenges, head coach Danielle Cole said.
"They're not allowed to pick up the reins until they break the ring of the show arena," said Cole, who has coached the team for five years. "That can be intimidating. They have to learn to ride anything and everything, because every horse is a little bit different, which is a challenge at any level."
Preparing for the unexpected takes up much of their time in their weekly lessons at Cole's horse barn, Premier Equestrian Center in Hudson, Michigan.
"Lessons involve a lot of troubleshooting and drilling so things that went wrong in the last meets won't happen again. We do a lot of 'if-then' scenarios: If something happens at a meet, how will you respond?" Cole said. "The lesson program is very tailored to the individual student and the things they struggle with."
It is this personal lesson time — and the chance to compete as much as possible — that brought both Bone and Chiara to Hillsdale.
"The team size is unique to Hillsdale compared to Grand Valley and University of Michigan and other large teams where there are 20 to 50 people on the team," Bone said.
Bone, who has been riding since she was 5 years old, started in the "novice" class, a few levels of competition higher than Chiara, who started in the "beginner" class after coming to Hillsdale with experience in dressage, a different form of English riding. But the transition has been a fruitful one; she said each form of riding develops different skills. Like other members of her team, she has been able to advance through levels of competition quickly because of the arena experience that the small size of the Hillsdale team.
"Because our team is so small, you get to ride every show, which gives you a chance to point up quickly," Chiara said. "We compete against basically every school in Michigan: Michigan State, University of Michigan, Central, Western, as well as smaller schools like Adrian and Albion. At those bigger schools, they don't ride every week because there are so many people on the team. One of the shows this semester, we were ranked fifth out of 10 or 15 teams there. That's awesome for a team with only six riders who only compete in three divisions. To be able to get that many points is really significant."
Chiara said that besides advancing to regionals, another goal for the year is building the team for next year by encouraging people to take the one-credit class the college offers — whether or not they have time and interest in competing.
"We do a lot of fundraising and other things on campus, but at the same time, we still get a lot of, 'Oh, we have an equestrian team?'" Chiara said. "We know there are more riders at Hillsdale, but they're surprised to find out that you don't need a horse or a bunch of other equipment to be on the team."
But as they prepare for their final meets, the team's focus is on earning those red, white, and blue ribbons.
"I expect we'll have several team members qualify for regionals," Cole said. "You need 36 points to qualify, and everybody is well on their way. Actually, I'll be surprised if everyone doesn't qualify for regionals."
Some riders have their sights set even higher; if one of them places in the top two at regionals, this year's team could be the first to send a team member to "zones," the level of competition before nationals.
The equestrian team will travel to Willowbrook Farm in Plymouth, Michigan, Jan. 20 and 21, for their next meet, hosted by the University of Michigan.

We have all heard it over and over again: "Try this new tool!" "This will make your job so much easier!" Technology in education is everywhere. Some embrace it with open arms, others do not. I am going to share my experience with technology and explore how we as educators can make technology friendly so colleagues buy in when new technology presents itself.
Technology in My Early Days
I only started teaching six years ago, but I am always taken aback when I remember what I started with. Hired to cover a long-term occasional (LTO) in an alternative program was a huge undertaking for a rookie. A year out if teachers college and newly back in Ontario, I had experienced what technology could do and saw great value and potential. However, in my new location, cutting-edge technology was scarce. With spotty Internet and outdated technology, I quickly learned to dismiss technology and focus on more traditional methods to keep my head above water. I am sad to say, I became one of those grumbling people at the professional development that rolled their eyes when someone tried to tell me about the newest tool: "That's great, but I do not see how that could work for me…" Sadly, I just did not see the value.
Why Technology?
Now that I have had the opportunity to really see what technology can do with it is properly supported and maintained, I do not know how I ever taught without it. 10 Reason Today's Students Need Technology in the Classroom outlines why today's student needs technology in their classroom. Out of all the reasons, I find reason 5 to be the most pertinent. According to Wainwright, "Integrating technology in education every day helps students stay engaged." Engagement. Is that not the number one challenge when it comes to teaching? If I had realized this early on, I think I would have fought a little harder to realize that potential. Ask any teacher and they would tell you that engagement is on the top of their list when it comes to what they believe would make their practice more effective.
What's so Scary?
If that is the case, then why is there still push back from some when it comes to integrating technology in the classroom? Aside from the lack of resources or support, why do some still push back? What are they afraid of? Are Teachers Afraid of Technology argues that a fear of technology comes from the natural instinct of some to assume that technology is complicated and that they are going to inevitably "screw it up" (Liberman). Liberman goes on to argue that it is not only a fear of getting it wrong that holds a lot of teacher back, but that it is also a high level of frustration that holds them back. This, I can relate to. That was me six short years ago.
How to Make It Friendly
What that said, how can we, those of us who are pro-tech and see the value in it, encourage our colleagues who are standoffish when it comes to tech that the benefits far out weight the cons? According to Training Teachers Who Are Terrorized by Technology, patient responses and a willingness to help (no matter what the inquiry) is the key to helping those "terrorized by technology" to become more willing participants (Hopkins, 2013). If they see you as a non-judgemental partner in the use of technology, the teacher experiencing difficulty is much more likely to see out your help and use the technology.
It is really simple, those who will not use technology are often afraid of coming off as unintelligent or outdated. Unfortunately, this fear often holds them back. However, when it comes to my problem in the beginning (inadequate infrastructure), I do not really have any answers. Maybe this is a topic for another blog…

Mystery Day Dahlia
Dahlia 'Mystery Day'
Height: 3 feet
Spacing: 18 inches
Hardiness Zone: (annual)
Group/Class: Dinner Plate Dahlia
A striking variety that produces huge, dark purple-red double blooms with white tips, from summer until mid-fall; dinner plate sized blooms really stand out; wonderful for gardens, along borders, or in containers
Ornamental Features
Mystery Day Dahlia features bold deep purple daisy flowers with burgundy overtones and chartreuse eyes at the ends of the stems from mid summer to mid fall. The flowers are excellent for cutting. Its serrated oval leaves remain green in colour throughout the season. The fruit is not ornamentally significant.
Landscape Attributes
Mystery Day Dahlia is an herbaceous annual with an upright spreading habit of growth. Its medium texture blends into the garden, but can always be balanced by a couple of finer or coarser plants for an effective composition.
This plant will require occasional maintenance and upkeep. Trim off the flower heads after they fade and die to encourage more blooms late into the season. It is a good choice for attracting bees and butterflies to your yard. It has no significant negative characteristics.
Mystery Day Dahlia is recommended for the following landscape applications;
- Accent
- Mass Planting
- General Garden Use
- Container Planting
Planting & Growing
Mystery Day Dahlia will grow to be about 30 inches tall at maturity, with a spread of 24 inches. When grown in masses or used as a bedding plant, individual plants should be spaced approximately 18 inches apart. The flower stalks can be weak and so it may require staking in exposed sites or excessively rich soils. Although it's not a true annual, this plant can be expected to behave as an annual in our climate if left outdoors over the winter, usually needing replacement the following year. As such, gardeners should take into consideration that it will perform differently than it would in its native habitat.
This plant does best in full sun to partial shade. It does best in average to evenly moist conditions, but will not tolerate standing water. It is not particular as to soil pH, but grows best in rich soils. It is somewhat tolerant of urban pollution. Consider applying a thick mulch around the root zone in winter to protect it in exposed locations or colder microclimates. This particular variety is an interspecific hybrid. It can be propagated by division; however, as a cultivated variety, be aware that it may be subject to certain restrictions or prohibitions on propagation.
Mystery Day Dahlia is a fine choice for the garden, but it is also a good selection for planting in outdoor pots and containers. With its upright habit of growth, it is best suited for use as a 'thriller' in the 'spiller-thriller-filler' container combination; plant it near the center of the pot, surrounded by smaller plants and those that spill over the edges. Note that when growing plants in outdoor containers and baskets, they may require more frequent waterings than they would in the yard or garden.

Replacement touchscreen
I have a 2017 Ford Fusion that is just 2 months old and one of my Grand kids accidentally hit the screen with a pop bottle and it cracked all over rendering it useless. I ordered the replacement screen from 4Dtech and it is exactly like they advertise it. Took about 30 minutes to install it and it is a genuine Ford part exactly like the original.You would never know its been replaced. Two thumbs up to this store.

The trick is to use enterprise developer certificates, and these pirate operations are providing modified versions of popular apps to consumers.
This means that they can stream music without ads and circumvent fees and rules in games. It also means that the app makers don't get paid and neither does Jobs' Mob.
Reuters, which discovered the hack, was incandescent with horror that the pirates were violating the sacred and holy rules of Apple's developer programmes which only allow apps to be distributed to the general public through the App Store.
"Downloading modified versions violates the terms of service of almost all major apps", Reuters snuffled.
Apparently Apple had no way of tracking the real-time distribution of these certificates, or the spread of improperly modified apps on its phones.
All it can do is cancel the certificates if it finds misuse.
However all the pirates need to do was use different certificates, who would have thunk it?
Apple said to tackle the problem it would require two-factor authentication - using a code sent to a phone as well as a password - to log into all developer accounts by the end of this month, which could help prevent certificate misuse.
Security researchers have long warned that enterprise developer certificates were a weak link in Apple's security.
They are the centrepiece of Apple's programme for corporate apps and enable consumers to install apps onto iPhones without Apple's knowledge.
Last month Apple banned Facebook and Google from using enterprise certificates after they used them to distribute data-gathering apps to consumers.
The distributors of pirated apps are using certificates obtained in the name of legitimate businesses. Several pirates have impersonated a subsidiary of China Mobile. Since the App Store debuted in 2008, Apple has sought to portray the iPhone as safer than rival Android devices because Apple reviews and approves all apps distributed to the devices.

We have a change in plans. Things are moving a bit more quickly than we anticipated. This is my official notice that I'll be dropping off the web for a week or so. We are moving on Thursday, so we have a lot to do in two days. The phone and internet is supposed to hooked up on Monday, but we'll see how that goes.
Unless the Lord has other plans, Allison and Sara, see you in church THIS SUNDAY!

Meg Baird – Dear Companion
Drag Records 2007
Listen while reading:
Dear Companion (from Dear Companion)
Willie O'Winsbury (from Dear Companion)
Yeah, this is the first article related to music on this blog. And I will start with an older album coming from the female lead vocalist for the band Espers. Meg Baird's first solo release, called Dear Companion (2007).
If you glance at the cover you get a first feeling that this is the music you are looking for. And you won't be disappointed. Baird presents intimate sung songs accompanied with wonderful melodies played on her acoustic guitar. The absence of other instruments and the clear but also expressive voice give you a feeling of the pure beauty of storytelling.
The tracks are reaching from covers and traditionals to own material. But this mix doesn't brake the record as a whole. You can listen to it from the beginning to the end and never get the idea that one track is in the way of another.
If you like what your hear, visit her MySpace site, get your copy at the Drag Records label and have fun with this stunning album and it's fascinating ability to keep you listening and dreaming all the time.

I've written to David Purdue, Johnny Isakson, and Rob Woodall and haven't heard back. They've been warned.
Here's a fun quote from David Purdue's latest email…
"President Obama, and now the Supreme Court, continues to overstep their Constitutional authority on many fronts"
Wow, David… then why are you giving President Obama fast-track authority to override congressional input into trade deals?!

"A day will come when the civilized world will deny its God..."
"I am worried by the Blessed Virgin's messages to Lucy of Fatima. This persistence of Mary about the dangers which menace the Church is a divine warning against the suicide of altering the Faith, in her liturgy, her theology and her soul....
"I hear all around me innovators who wish to dismantle the Sacred Chapel, destroy the universal flame of the Church, reject her ornaments and make her feel remorse for her historical past.
"A day will come when the civilized world will deny its God, when the Church will doubt as Peter doubted. She will be tempted to believe that man has become God. In our churches, Christians will search in vain for the red lamp where God awaits them, like Mary Magdalene weeping before the empty tomb, they will ask, "Where have they taken Him?" (Pope Pius XII, quoted in the book Pius XII Devant L'Histoire, pp. 52-53, by Msgr. Georges Roche).
How will this be accomplished? Pope St. Pius X, the Pope of the Eucharist, warned back in 1907, in his Encyclical Letter Pascendi Dominici Gregis, that the enemies of the Church, knowing that external persecution of Her actually brings about Her greater growth ("The blood of the martyrs is the seed of Christianity" - Tertullian), would focus in the future on destroying Her through infiltration.
Our Lady told Fr. Stefano Gobbi of the Marian Movement of Priests: "I am weeping because the Church is continuing along the road of division, of loss of the true faith, of apostasy and of errors which are being spread more and more without anyone offering opposition to them. Even now, that which I predicted at Fatima and that which I have revealed here in the third message confided to a little daughter of mine (i.e. Sister Lucia) is in the process of being accomplished. And so, even for the Church the moment of its great trial has come, because the man of iniquity will establish himself within it and the abomination of desolation will enter into the holy temple of God." (To the Priests, Our Lady's Beloved Sons, No. 362, September 15, 1987, p. 572.)
And again: "The black beast like a leopard indicates Freemasonry; the beast with the two horns like a lamb indicates Freemasonry infiltrated into the interior of the Church, that is to say, ecclesiastical Masonry, which has spread especially among the members of the hierarchy. This Masonic infiltration, in the interior of the Church, was already foretold to you by me at Fatima, when I announced to you that Satan would enter in even to the summit of the Church. If the task of Masonry is to lead souls to perdition, bringing them to the worship of false divinities, the task of ecclesiastical Masonry on the other hand is that of destroying Christ and his Church, building a new idol, namely a false christ and a false church." (To the Priests, Our Lady's Beloved Sons, No. 406, June 13, 1989, p. 649)
The false church Our Lady refers to was also foretold by Anne Catherine Emmerich (1774-1824), a German Augustinian nun, stigmatist, and miracle-worker, who subsisted entirely on water and Holy Communion for many years. Venerable Emmerich received numerous visions of the future crisis in the Church and the infiltration of the Masons. In her visions, she describes men in aprons destroying the Church with a trowel, The Masons wear aprons and their symbol is the Mason's trowel. The following excerpts are from page 565 of the Life of Anne Catherine Emmerich, Vol. 1, by Rev. K.E. Schmöger, Tan Books, 1976:
"I saw St. Peter's. A great crowd of men was trying to pull it down whilst others constantly built it up again. Lines connected these men one with another and with others throughout the whole world. I was amazed at their perfect understanding." The demolishers, mostly apostates and members of different sects, broke off whole pieces and worked according to rules and instructions. They wore WHITE APRONS bound with blue riband. In them were pockets and they had TROWELS stuck in their belts. The costumes of the others were various."There were among the demolishers distinguished men wearing uniforms and crosses. They did not work themselves but they marked out on the wall with a TROWEL where and how it should be torn down. To my horror, I saw among them Catholic Priests. Whenever the workmen did not know how to go on, they went to a certain one in their party. He had a large book which seemed to contain the whole plan of the building and the way to destroy it. They marked out exactly with a TROWEL the parts to be attacked, and they soon came down. They worked quietly and confidently, but slyly, furtively and warily. I saw the Pope praying, surrounded by false friends who often did the very opposite to what he had ordered..."
We have witnessed the gradual emergence of this false church within Christ's Church. And that which this false church proposes is a new religion in which man, and not God, is the object of worship. And all will be accomplished in the name of humanitarianism. Through one of his characters in his prophetic book The Lord of the World, Fr. Robert Hugh Benson describes this humanitarian religion: "Humanitarianism...is becoming an actual religion itself, though anti-supernatural. It is a pantheism. Pantheism deifies all nature, God is the world, but naturally, man above all is God since he is the highest expression of nature. It is a religion devoid of the 'super' natural, because since God is nature itself, there is no longer a distinction between Creator and creature. The creature is God and hence arbitrator of his own destiny and establishes the moral law for himself. Nature, and man is its highest expression, has all the divine attributes. Humanitarianism is a religion devoid of the supernatural. It is developing a ritual under Freemasonry; it has a creed, 'God is man'; and the rest. It has, therefore, a real food of a sort to offer religious cravings: it idealizes, and yet makes no demands upon the spiritual faculties. Then, they have the use of all the churches except ours, and of all the Cathedrals; and they are beginning at last to encourage sentiment. Then they may display their symbols and we may not: I think they will be established legally in another ten years" (Introduction, p. xvii).
The new humanitarian religion of Antichrist has already taken root within the true Church founded by the Lord Jesus. This new humanitarian religion will embrace homosexuality. As Father Vincent Miceli, S.J., has explained, "For the Modernist dogmas are tentative, provisional formulas, the outcome of on-going religious experience, as changeable as that experience itself. The Collective Conscience of the many sharing similar dogmas forms the Church. And Church authority originates from the Collective Conscience." John Smeaton, writing for LifeSiteNews, explains that, "Only two months ago I watched him [Archbishop Vincent Nichols] in an exchange on Catholic teaching and gay unions during an interview on BBC's Hardtalk (Friday, 2nd July). Stephen Sackur, the Hardtalk interviewer, asked the archbishop:
"Some of their vicars are also prepared to sanction gay unions. That church is showing flexibility. Is the Catholic church not going to have to do the same eventually?"
To which the archbishop replied
"I don't know. Who knows what's down the road?"
And they know in advance what is coming.

Increasingly, people are denying God. My parish and many others in my diocese, are near empty as the faithful abandon the Church. Most of those remaining are seniors in their 60s, 70s and 80s. It is an errie feeling being the only one in his 30s in the parish.
- jac said...
From reliable sources I know that our Archbishop is a freemason.
Therefore according the Church's laws, he is excommunicated ipso facto.
Should we obey him anyways?
Popes Pius X and Pius XII were prophets. And we are now living in the darkness Pius XII foretold when he said that, "We believe that the present hour [the period after the Second World War] is a dread phase of the events told by Christ. It seems that darkness is about to fall on the world. Humanity is in the grip of a supreme crisis."
- Paul Anthony Melanson said...
If a Bishop or Archbishop or Cardinal is not in union with the Holy Father and the Bishops who are in union with him, then you do not follow such him. If your Archbishop is dissenting from the Church's Magisterium, then you have your answer.
Relevant reading of interest:
Jac - you needen't obey a heretic. It's about time we used the word heretic to make things truly clear.
There is a great cleavage in the Church today - the heretics, and the Orthodox. Being in the latter camp, I see our numbers growing.
- Paul Anthony Melanson said...
Or as Montfort put it Helen, the Children of Mary and the Children of Belial.
On New Year's Day, the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God, one of our local priests, in his homily, said that many people have a problem with Our Lady's Immaculate Conception. They don't accept it. He then said that Mary does not need to be on a pedestal. He then proceeded to remove Our Lady from the pedestal on which God had placed her, and said, essentially, ''She is just one of us.'' I was disgusted. The priest had avoided overtly denying dogma, but the meaning was clear to me. Dragged off her pedestal, Our Lady, being just one of us, does not offer us a model of holy purity and chastity. Being just one of us, she has nothing to offer. This disgusting heresy was what was offered for nourishment to poor lost souls in my local parish church last Sunday.
- Paul Anthony Melanson said...
Martin, I'm sorry to hear of what you and your fellow parishioners were put through on the solemnity of Mary, Mother of God.
The Catechism defines faith thusly: "Faith is the theological virtue by which we believe in God and believe all that he has said and revealed to us, and that the Holy Church proposes for our belief, because he is truth itself." (CCC, 1814). Faith is the acceptance of the truths revealed by God without proof.
Faith is a grace: "Faith is a gift of God, a supernatural virtue infused by him. 'Before this faith can be exercised, man must have the grace of God to move and assist him; he must have the interior helps of the Holy Spirit, who moves the heart and converts it to God, who opens the eyes of the mind and makes it easy for all to accept and believe the truth.'" (CCC, 153).
Faith does not contradict reason. Consequently, once the truths which have been revealed by God are accepted, human reason attempts to understand and defend those truths. Faith may be understood as "faith seeking understanding" (CCC, 154-159). As No. 156 explains:
"What moves us to believe is not the fact that revealed truths appear as true and intelligible in the light of our natural reason: we believe "because of the authority of God himself who reveals them, who can neither deceive nor be deceived". So "that the submission of our faith might nevertheless be in accordance with reason, God willed that external proofs of his Revelation should be joined to the internal helps of the Holy Spirit." Thus the miracles of Christ and the saints, prophecies, the Church's growth and holiness, and her fruitfulness and stability "are the most certain signs of divine Revelation, adapted to the intelligence of all"; they are "motives of credibility" (motiva credibilitatis), which show that the assent of faith is "by no means a blind impulse of the mind."
I know this will probably come as a surprise to this confused priest, but the Dogmatic Constitution on Divine Revelation (Dei Verbum) of Vatican II had this to say:
"..the task of authentically interpreting the word of God, whether written or handed on, has been entrusted exclusively to the living teaching office of the Church, whose authority is exercised in the name of Jesus Christ. This teaching office is not above the word of God, but serves it, teaching only what has been handed on, listening to it devoutly, guarding it scrupulously and explaining it faithfully in accord with a divine commission and with the help of the Holy Spirit, it draws from this one deposit of faith everything which it presents for belief as divinely revealed." (No. 10).
And this living teaching office teaches authoritatively that Mary was conceived without stain of Original Sin and that, as a result, was not capable of actual sin.
The Church has declared the Queenship of Mary. It is God who created Mary as a fitting tabernacle - free of Original and Actual sin - for His dwelling place. It is from the spotless Virgin that Jesus takes His flesh and redeems fallen mankind.
This priest, if he does not accept the Immaculate Conception, is a heretic. This situation should be reported to the local Ordinary immediately.
- Paul Anthony Melanson said...
I think I'd be wasting my time Paul. As far as I can discern, reporting anything to the local ordinary would be a complete waste of time. It would also destroy any chance that I might work in any diocese in my country ever again. I might, one day, be a catechist.
I think the problem is quite simple: many priests and bishops never had the Catholic faith, so they are unable to teach or live it. A major crisis of faith. Modernism. this sums it up quite well: http://www.catholic.org/hf/faith/story.php?id=40178
- jac said...
I wonder where in the Fatima's messages there is a hint to what you wrote:
"This Masonic infiltration, in the interior of the Church, was already foretold to you by me at Fatima, when I announced to you that Satan would enter in even to the summit of the Church."
Please let me know.
- Paul Anthony Melanson said...
"We know moreover, that Sister Lucy confided in the 1970s, that 'the chastisement predicted by Our Lady in the Third Secret had already begun'." (Frère François de Marie des Anges, Fatima: Tragedy and Triumph, pp. 237-238; Brother Michael of the Holy Trinity, The Whole Truth About Fatima: The Third Secret, Vol. III, p. 640).
Our Lady had said, among other things, that "In Portugal, the dogma of the faith will always be preserved." This is to imply that elsewhere it will not be.
Which is not to say that Portugal won't have its problems. But in that nation, more than others, the faith will be preserved.

A Belmullet Staff Hospital Action Committee has been formed following a meeting of staff from Belmullet District Hospital and Aras Deirbhle yesterday.
That was confirmed by local Fianna Fail Senator Keith Swanick, who chaired the meeting.
Senator Swanick, who is also a local GP, was asked by the staff to chair the meeting as he is the Medical Officer at the hospital.
He says that the overall feeling from the meeting is that the staff wanted to be in control of any direction of any campaign.
The committee was then formed, comprised of 4 nursing staff members and 4 support staff members, 4 from Belmullet District Hospital and 4 from Aras Deirbhle.
Senator Swanick told Midwest News that the committee is due to meet this afternoon and will issue a statement following that meeting.
An Erris Senator has responded to assurances given by Minister for Older People Jim Daly and Minister for Rural and Community Development Michael Ring in relation to Belmullet District Hospital.
Minister for Mental Health and Older People Jim Daly told the Dail yesterday evening that Belmullet District Hospital will not be downgraded under his watch.
It came as concerns over the facility and Aras Deirbhle were raised by Fianna Fail Deputy Leader, Mayo TD Dara Calleary yesterday on a Topical Issue.
Minister Daly said that there will be no downgrading of facilities for older people while he is in office and that includes Belmullet.
However he said he cannot stand over staff being allocated to empty beds if that is proven to be the case.
Minister Daly has also confirmed that he will visit the hospital at the end of this month, or in the very early days of July.
The assurances from Minister Daly were welcomed this morning by Minister for Rural and Community Development Michael Ring. He says that it is a case of some people trying to make political gain out of a situation that is simply not happening.
However Sinn Fein Senator Rose Conway-Walsh told Midwest News that the responses from Minister Daly and Minister Ring were not adequate and questions remain unanswered.
She says she wants to know if there will be 20 beds in place at Belmullet District Hospital at the end of this process and also why GPs cannot make referrals to the hospital and further to that, why referrals cannot be made from the Emergency Department at Mayo University Hospital to Belmullet.
Senator Conway-Walsh outlined her remaining concerns to Midwest News this lunchtime.
There is no intention at present to reduce the bed capacity at Belmullet District Hospital.
That was confirmed today by the Minister for Mental Health and Older People, Jim Daly to Midwest Radio News.
The Minister visited the District hospital yesterday and outlined the same to staff and management there, and to the community members that had gathered in support of the facility.
He said while the HSE had decided to temporarily reduce the number of beds in Belmullet from 20 to 15, due to budget overruns across the region, he has asked them to reconsider that decision, as he says he is convinced that there is demand for 20 beds at t Belmullet District hospital.
He added that demand for step down hospital care is wider than the Erris region, and said that the 20 beds in Belmullet are sustainable, however, anyone being discharged from Mayo University Hospital in Castlebar, from whatever part of the county that requires such care, will be offered it in Belmullet.
There was some controversy yesterday over the reaction of some government representatives to the protest in support of the hospital organised by the local action committee in support of Belmullet District Hospital.
Nonetheless, Minister Daly is clear that he recognises the need for 20 beds at the facility.
On our lunchtime news today at 1pm – we will have two Oireachtas members that were in Belmullet yesterday - Minister for Community and Rural Development Michael Ring, and Senator Rose Conway Walsh.
A Mayo TD today raised concerns over Belmullet District Hospital and Aras Deirbhle on a topical issue in the Dail with Minister for Older People Jim Daly.
Minister Daly assured Mayo Fianna Fail TD Dara Calleary that there is no threat to the future of the facility and said while he is in office, he will not let the facility be downgraded.
Deputy Calleary outlined the situation to Minister Daly, where concerns have arisen that changes to staffing may impact on the facilities.
There seems to be a difference in the number of short stay beds that the HSE has told Minister Daly are being staffed – he has been informed 12 short stay beds are in operation at any time, while Deputy Calleary was told that there are 18 support acute discharge beds, with 2 additional short stay beds – so 20 in total.
The Minister also confirmed he will be visiting the hospital but it will be later this month or the beginning of next month.
Deputy Calleary told Minister Daly he was concerned at the discrepancy in the information regarding the number of short stay beds at Belmullet Hospital.
Minister Daly told Deputy Calleary that he has requested the information on how many short stay beds are in Belmullet Hospital from Tony Canavan of the HSE.
Ahead of this afternoon's visit by the Minister of State for Mental Health and Older People, Jim Daly to Belmullet District hospital, Sinn Féin Senator Rose Conway-Walsh has said it is time for truth and transparency around the future of the facility.
She told Midwest News today that a Community Action committee for the hospital's future is asking people from Erris to gather on the route up to Belmullet District Hospital from 3.30pm this afternoon to greet the Minister, due at 4pm, and to demonstrate to him that there is a real need to protect and invest in the hospital.
The Senator claims two conflicting reports on the facility's future have emerged recently. Fine Gael politicians, she says, insist that Belmullet Hospital will not be downgraded, while the HSE are saying five out of the 20 surviving beds will be closed, contract staff will be redeployed and agency staff will be let go.
He is also waiting on figures from Tony Canavan on how many short stay beds are in use at the facility at any one time – he says the HSE has told him 12, while figures given to Deputy Calleary and the media say 18 support acute short day beds and 2 additional short stay beds.
A Public meeting will take place tonight in the Talbot Hotel, Belmullet surrounding the future of Belmullet Community Hospital.
A Public Meeting to oppose the cuts to Belmullet Hospital and Áras Deirbhle Nursing Home has been organised by Mayo Senator Rose Conway-Walsh this evening at 8pm in the Talbot Hotel.
This meeting is in solidarity with patients, carers, staff, management and the most vulnerable in our community.
A Belmullet Hospital Action Committee has been formed following a meeting of staff from Belmullet District Hospital and Aras Deirbhle yesterday.
In a statement this evening the committee says it endeavours to maintain and improve current services at the two locations –20 beds in Belmullet Hospital – which include step down, short stay beds and palliative care and respite care and 30 beds in Aras Deirbhle, which are long stay beds.
In the statement the staff say they are fully committed in the deliverance and maintenance of essential high quality patient care to the community for which we serve. They say they are currently collating information to establish the best way forward in achieving our goal and there the statement ends.

Obituary: Delores A. "Dorrie" (Sidener) Sheehan, 82
Mar 27, 2015 01:17PM
By Kieran Gilman
God gave the world a unique gift when Delores Anne Sidener was born on April 15, 1932 to Marie (Kelly) Sidener ( a City of Chicago budget manager) and James Samuel Sidener ( a Chicago Police Officer).
Delores "Dorrie" developed her strong Catholic faith at her mother's knee and at St. Adrian's school. She was baptized at St. Adrian's, and received the Sacraments of Penance, Holy Communion, and Confirmation there. In her teens she lived in California, where, blessed with a beautiful Coloratura Soprano voice, she sang professionally with the Greek Theater. Her goal was to sing with The Metropolitan Opera. Before that could happen, however, she was discovered by a Hollywood talent scout, and was signed by Columbia Studios.
She attended Hollywood Professional School while playing the female lead in two Western Movies "Pecos River" with Jock Mahoney and John Penn; and "Barbed Wire", with Gene Autry and Smiley Burnett, and a comedy, "Sound Off" opposite Mickey Rooney.
During the Korean War, she entertained our troops and worked in bond drives to support the war effort. Later, she returned to Chicago, where she became one of that city's top-ten fashion and photographers' models.
At West Point in 1954, she met Cadet Donald Sheehan. For four years he courted her during his Christmas and summer leaves, and during Air Force pilot training after graduation.
Dorrie returned to West Point for Don's graduation in 1956, sharing with him and his family the many events of June Week and pinning his Second Lieutenant bar on his shoulder on graduation day. Don gave her a star on December 23, 1957, and they were married at St. Adrian's on 31 May 1958.
They were separated by Don's assignment to Korea seventy-seven days after their wedding, but Dorrie joined him a year later for duty in Japan. There they enjoyed a two year second honeymoon, absorbed Japanese culture, and brought their first two daughters, Maria Anastasia and Maria Gabrielle into the world.
She became Don's inspiration as he studied for a master's degree in English at the University of Illinois (1962-63). There she gave birth to Maria Christina. With masters' degree in hand, Dorrie and Don and their three babies drove to Colorado for service in the English Department faculty at the Air Force Academy. Dorrie personified the virtues and attributes of Air Force wife and mother. She gave birth to Maria Mia in 1964, to Michael in 1965, and Matthew John in 1966.
In 1967, Dorrie lived in the Philippine Islands, while Don flew tactical airlift missions during the Vietnam War. At the end of that assignment, they returned to the Air Force Academy English Department, and Adam Francis was born in 1970.
In 1973, the nine Sheehan's moved to Alaska, where Don flew C-130 aircraft. Dorrie moved her family to Tewksbury for Don's service as Commander of Air Force ROTC Detachment 345 at UMASS - Lowell.
For 38 years Dorrie and Don Lived in Tewksbury, where their children grew in grace and wisdom, completing their college degrees, marrying, and raising eightteen grandchildren and four great grandchildren. .
Throughout their 55 years of marriage, Dorrie exemplified the finest virtues of a Catholic lady, wife, mother, and grandmother. The needs of her family always came first, before any personal considerations. She led by example, guiding her children in developing Catholic values. Dorrie helped her children develop self confidence and respect for others. She was the architect of her family's prayer life and the matriarch of Sidener/Sheehan family traditions. Her children and grandchildren emulated her virtues as well as the values of patriotism, integrity, honesty, and humility.
Her many talents and skills included gourmet cooking, acrylic/water color painting, and unmatched devotion to God and her family. In her recovery from three near-fatal automobile accidents and a stroke, she displayed courage and discipline beyond the call of duty. In extended therapy to regain her mobility, she demonstrated quiet and powerful leadership.
Dorrie brought indescribable joy to Don, her family, and friends all the days of her life.
On Wednesday, March 25, 2015, the Loving God Who gave her life, called her home to join Don, her Mom, Dad, sisters Mary Sidener and Suzanne Kennedy, and brother Sonny Sidener.
Mother of Stacy Decker of Lowell, Gigi Hovanec and her husband George of Dracut, Chris Vecchi and her husband Dennis of Andover, Mia Primeaux and her husband Christopher of Lake Charles, LA, Michael A. Sheehan and his wife Doreen of Derry, NH, Matthew J. Sheehan and his wife Lisa of Chelmsford and Adam F. Sheehan of Derry, NH.
She also leaves 18 grandchildren, 4 great grandchildren, many nieces and nephews.
Calling hours will be Friday, March 27, from 7-9 p.m., at St. Robert Bellarmine Church, 198 Haggetts Pond Rd., Andover. Her Funeral Mass will be celebrated Saturday, March 28, at 11 a.m. at St. Robert Bellarmine Church. Interment will follow at St. Mary Cemetery, Tewksbury. In lieu of flowers, donations in her memory may be made to the Wounded Warrior Project,www.woundedwarriorproject.org, P.O. Box 78517, Topeka, KS 66675.
Arrangements entrusted to Farmer & Dee Funeral Home, Tewksbury.

The Talent of ICV
(SAMMAMISH, WASHINGTON)-September 5, 2012- The International Cruise Victims Association, Inc. (ICV) a not-for-profit corporation formed by victims and families of victims of cruise ship crime is a unique organization. With no paid staff, the talent of many experts in various fields have come to ICV and offered their support in numerous ways. These supporters include lawyers, security experts, maritime experts, victims rights advocates and many others.
Money could not buy the talent of these experts, and their help has been essential as ICV deals with the various issues surrounding safety on cruise ships. Some have chosen to not have ICV disclose their identity, while some have agreed.
While we continue to be grateful for the support of several expert lawyers who have aided ICV in many ways, the following ICV update will deal with maritime experts joining our efforts and playing critical roles.
Serving on the Executive Committee and Board Member for ICV is Mark Gaouette. He has served as the Director of Security for Princess Cruises and Cunard Cruise Lines. In addition, Mark also served as a Regional Security Officer with the U.S. Department of State, (..including Moscow, Beirut, and Yemen). In addition to many other assignments, he served as a Naval Officer on active duty. Currently, Mark is in the middle east working on security issues and Author: Cruising for Trouble,.
Supporting the ICV efforts in the UK and EU is Bill Anderson. His Maritime experience started when Bill was just 16 years old. In 1980, a British ship the MV.Derbyshire sank without trace in the south China seas with the loss of all hands. This was 42 poor souls including 2 wives, one of which was on her honeymoon. After much campaigning and threats by the seamen's union, an inquest was held which was conceived as a white wash. Bill was given this brief in 1990 and spearheaded a campaign for justice for the families. This had a successful outcome and a search was undertaken, one of the deepest on record, and the MV.Derbyshire wreckage was found and filmed using ROVs and a new inquest was set up.
In 2004, Bill was seconded into a federation as a Flag of Convenience Inspector to where he still is to date. He was awarded last year the Merchant Navy Medal, the highest award in the industry for his work on MV.Derbyshire and his commitment to the Merchant Navy. His unique background has been and continues to be invaluable as ICV moves forward.
Another partner of ICV is Professor Ross Klein. He is the author of many books on the issues and problems with the cruise industry. His analysis of these issues has been invaluable to ICV. He is a Professor at Memorial University of Newfoundland in St. John's and probably the leading expert in the world concerning various safety issues in the cruise line industry. He has testified three times in House and Senate hearings in Washington and his comprehensive testimony at the March 1, 2012 hearing of the Senate Commerce and Transportation Committee can be read at the following link:
So many are giving of their talents to make cruise lines safer for both passengers and crew members. They are all making these efforts without pay but with passion to change an industry that for too long has chosen not to put the safety of those individuals as their highest priority. The recent movement by two major cruise lines to offer unlimited drinks for one price clearly shows that safety takes a back seat to increasing profits.

Hey Readers,
We all are gearing up for the Winters by refurbishing our Arsenal in different Skincare and Makeup departments. I recently posted a video on My Youtube Channel about my Favorite Cream blushes for winters in Make Up department. However Today In this post
BIOTIQUE Bio Honey Gel Hydrating Face Wash Review
I am bringing up a change that I have introduced in My Daily Skincare routine catering to winter needs of my skin.My Skin turns extremely dry in winters so I was looking for Hydrating Facewash Already. When I spotted New range of Skincare From Biotique I was really tempted to check this out.
So here is the complete BIOTIQUE Bio Honey Gel Hydrating Face Wash Review for you!!
BIOTIQUE Bio Honey Gel Hydrating Face Wash is hydrating foaming, 100% soap-free gel is blended with pure honey and extracts from the bark of the Arjun tree, Euphorbia plant and Wild turmeric. Dissolves makeup and impurities, softens skin and helps lighten the complexion.
BIOTIQUE Bio Honey Gel Hydrating Face Wash Review
BIOTIQUE Bio Honey Gel Hydrating Face Wash is packaged in sturdy transparent bottle with pump mechanism .
There are arrows marked on top of the Pump as a Direction indicator to open up or close the pump dispenser.
Once you close the pump, Bottle is sealed completely. There is no fear of spillage after that.
This makes bottle Travel safe.I love pump mechanism in Makeup Remover or Face Wash.
It regulates the amount of liquid.As after Initial Few Uses ,we can actually know amount we need every morning.
Besides this BIOTIQUE Bio Honey Gel Hydrating Face Wash packaging in 180 ml is another thing I like about it.Though it comes packaged in standard small size Facewash packaging too.
My Face Wash is one thing I use everyday in morning & evening. Once you strike a positive chord with certain cleanser you don't want to run buying a tube every now and then.
I love my Favorite Face Wash in Big Packaging.I have 300ml Bottle.
Formula is Peach coloured & Gel-like in consistency.
In contact with water Gel turns into soapy formula. It lathers but not crazy.
I love using it after my The Body Shop Nutriganics Softening Cleansing Gel.
But even if I use it alone,It cleanses my skin effectively without making my skin go dry or stretchy.
Normally Gel based cleansers are drying but being Enriched with Honey I guess Makes this cleanser Hydrating.
I never felt Post cleansing stretch on my face after using this.
It doesn't even leave a film of oil or grease on my skin considering its hydrating.
It will suit all types of Skin.
Though it is Claimed to dissolve Make-Up But it cannot be used a s a Make-Up Remover . It works removing Make-Up like any other daily routine face wash.
I love the mild fruity scent ( Pineapple like) moment you pump the product out and start lathering it on your face.
It is claimed to be Soap free . I think the lathering you get on massaging is due to Ritha(Sapindus trifoliatus)
It is also claimed to have Skin Lightening properties. I cannot comment on its effectivity for same because I use so many products on my face to ward off tanning and Pigmentation.
PRICE:120 ml for 149 INR /300ml for 375 INR/800 ml for 950 INR

Half of the year 2016 is already over and it is time for our second quarterly review: We both spent April travelling in Japan doing tour guiding work for different German tour operators. Everything went rather smooth, and with nice guests and interesting itineraries we had a good month.
In mid-April, several earthquakes hit the area of Kumamoto, leaving around 50 persons dead and several thousand homeless. Although we were not in the area around that time (we had both visited Kumamoto castle around one week before the quakes) it was disturbing to see the news which were obviously very prominent in Japan. The fact that there was an unusual number of strong aftershocks and also another heavy earthquake in Ecuador (caused by the movement of the same tectonic plate?) did nothing to ease our discomfort and we were both glad when the work was over and we went back to Germany.
We spent the bigger part of May in Berlin, with writing assignments for travel articles and the preparation of several upcoming research trips for our travel guidebooks.
In between we went to Tyrol for 12 days to check out some cities for our new Tyrol guidebook. We had devised a dense schedule including hikes and cycling trips, but unfortunately the weather was very bad, forcing us to either reschedule, or to pull through with those outdoor activities anyway (see our previous blog post about one such day).
We also went sports climbing at some local crags near Landeck and Imst. It was the first time in several years that we climbed outdoors again, and we agreed that it is much more fun than indoor climbing. We have also signed up for an alpine climbing course in August in order to learn more about natural protection and traditional climbing.
In late May, we celebrated our ten year travel blog anniversary. At this opportunity we decided to cut back with the blogging (see here why), and for the time being this feels like the right decision.
In June we went to Uzbekistan for the update on the 2nd edition of our Uzbekistan guide book. As we get only the regular tourist visa valid for one month, and we had to cover the whole country in this period, it was a fairly exhausting trip.
We spent days on the road travelling in shared taxis, and walked endless kilometres (around 20 on most days) in order to check on restaurants, hotels, sightseeing spots and nightlife. In the south of Uzbekistan near the Afghan border we just wanted to do a quick update on a desert walk in our guidebook when a truck with 12 armed soldiers pulled up next to us: We had accidentally walked into the restricted border area. After hours of talking, sitting around and waiting, they finally let us go, just demanding that we delete all the pictures we had taken in the border area.
Although we had a really tight schedule we managed to squeeze in some new places. The most fascinating ones were a visit to the originally Soviet solar furnace in Parkent (a blog post will follow) and an alpine hike to some petroglyphs in the mountains near Beldersoy.
Right now we are in Berlin writing the Uzbekistan travel guidebook update, and from mid-July we will be in Austria for the summer.
And here comes an overview of the last three months of blogging:
A research day for a new guide book in Tyrol – Guidebook writing and researching can be quite wet and frustrating sometimes
The architecture of Zaha Hadid in Innsbruck
The cold war surveillance station at the Teufelsberg in Berlin
The colourful world of chocolate by Ritter Sport. A visit at the chocolate maker's
The 88 temple pilgrimage on Shikoku – a revamped version of the very first blog post we ever published in 2006. It is about a 1400 km long pilgrimage we hiked in Japan.
Sightseeing in Hiroshima – a UNESCO site that we visit with almost every tour group
Sleeping tight in Tokyo – Natascha's capsule hotel experience
Asuka and the making of Japanese civilization – Isa's visit to one of the oldest towns in Japan
Sri Lanka
Fortress in the sea – The old Town of Galle (UNESCO). – Our last post about our trip to Sri Lanka earlier this year
Doha on a stopover – and we loved it. -This was definitely not our last visit to this tiny country on the Arabian Peninsula

There's something very satisfying about women singing about boys. Women in pop have always used that specific word, boy, from 60s girl groups singing with the thrill of teenagers to Deneice Williams' delight in "Let's Hear It For The Boy", or Brandy and Monica's cool fight in "The Boy Is Mine". But if we track the boy in this decade, he seems to have taken on a strange new aura: less dangerous, more enjoyable.
Boys in pop have lost their reverence. The boys cropping up in pop songs now are adored, sure, but with a heady mix of fondness and condescension. "Boys, a lot of women love you," Sky Ferreira sings, without much interest, rolling the word over her tongue like a disdainful promise, "but boys, they just make me mad." The way women are evoking that once-glorified boy in a pop song shows a new hierarchy: for once, the boy is usually secondary to the woman singing about him, and often even further down the ranks, behind friends and work and common sense.
And they signal a complicated attitude to masculinity, one that is being newly, self-consciously negotiated. We want boys in love songs to have personalities and interior lives, but in a safe, manageable way, rejecting romance where men can overwhelm women and women's stories. Using "boys" as the main romantic figure means that love songs can not just avoid the power dynamics and toxic masculinity hidden in men, but in fact declaw them, and reclaim power for the woman singing about them.
An obvious example is Charli XCX's banger of a track—and video—"Boys", which stole hearts not least for the specificity (and multiplicity) of female fantasies in its music video. Then there's the shimmering bliss of the song, its sparkling synths and Charli's delighted, breathed "boys" with the upward tick of the Super Mario Bros. ba-beep! Like the music video, Charli rolls out a host of boys: the bad one, the good one, the one from work. The point of "Boys" is very clearly the plural, the song rolling around in a goofy, delirious dream. Individual boys aren't important, and Charli is not in love, but she is generous; fascinated and charmed by every guy, and sharing them with the world.
This preoccupation with boys in pop plays with shifting power dynamics. It's teenage, certainly, but not in the same way that the 60s girl groups were. The viewpoint is no longer the younger girl awed by upperclassmen, but an older woman revelling in the teenage nostalgia and high emotions of a crush. The high stakes are those of immediate infatuation, rather than passion, and there's no real concern about rejection - the actual relationship is not the point. Neither is sex, which is drawn out in a teasing, sweet way, often presumed but rarely actually discussed. More important is attraction, which doesn't necessarily suffer from being unrequited.
Problems are dealt with via rolled eyes, as in Astrid S's recent paean "Such A Boy" to a boy who a can't make up his mind. It's a familiar theme, but unlike classics of the genre like Katy Perry's anxious "Hot N Cold", you can tell Astrid isn't actually worried. Where Katy relied on overblown metaphors, Astrid quietly pulls apart cliches. "Say you need more air/ Are you underwater now?/ We're not even in that deep!" The overall tone is arch, amused, condescending but kind. "Don't be such a boy," she says, smiling while her boyfriend paces and frets, waiting for him to grow up and come back to her.
It's a way to shift focus from boys to the women behind them. Occasionally this can be scornful, as in Taylor Swift's "Blank Space" where her drawled "Boys only want love if it's torture/ Don't say I didn't say I didn't warn you" is cutting, almost cruel, drawing our attention immediately back to the warner herself. More often, though, dismissal when it comes is fond: nothing against boys, I just don't have time for this right now. In "Boy Problems" Carly Rae Jepsen is practically laughing at her own prior obsession: "Boy problems, who's got 'em?/ I've got 'em too.
It removes the pressure for a kind of toxic masculinity that in this era of Trump and Weinstein feels so suffocating and ever-present.
The main joy of the genre is that it's not such a bad thing, to be a boy. It gives men back a quality of playfulness, of youth, of charm that doesn't have to be polished. It removes the pressure for a kind of toxic masculinity that in this era of Trump and Weinstein feels so suffocating and ever-present. The teenage dynamic restored doesn't have the insecurity of singers in the 60s; it allows for goofiness, for a dynamic around sex that is teasing and fun. The visual focus and objectification apparent in the way women in pop are using the word isn't so bad if you don't spend your whole life in an oppressive system: just sit and be enjoyed. It's nice. The boys in Charli XCX's video look like they're having a pretty good time.

Health Coaching for Chronic Diseases
Chronic diseases such as Diabetes mellitus, cardiac diseases and cancer are among the leading causes of death and health impairments. The impairments are at least partially preventable by improvement of patients' self-management.
In a joint project the KKH Kaufmännische Krankenkasse assigned the implementation of an individual, cross-sectoral support of patients with higher treatment risks by offering telephone coachings. The long-term consulting of insured persons who are chronically ill and endangered insured of KKH took place in four federal states with 19 coaches and one nutritionist.
Researchers at HCHE analyzed effectiveness and efficiency of the pilot project and thus provided the decision-makers with health economic related data analyses.

The Christmas retailers' naughty list has been revealed in the latest NSW Fair Trading Complaints Register, Minister for Better Regulation Matt Kean said yesterday.
Kogan, Samsung Electronics and online ticket reseller Viagogo claimed the top spots with 27 complaints each, followed by The Good Guys with 18, Apple and Harvey Norman with 16 each, and online gadget store Android Enjoyed receiving 15 complaints.
Mr Kean said while consumers spend big in the festive season, they should always be aware of their rights as a consumer.
"Electronic retailers, both retail and online, featured heavily on December's naughty list, as did a number of retail stores," Mr Kean said.
"Shoppers always have the right to return faulty goods, and retailers that refuse to comply face harsh penalties – even if the item was bought at a discounted price."
The festive season also saw 12 complaints about Hamper King – an online trader selling Christmas hampers. New to the list was online baby product retailer Oopsie, with 15 complaints.
Mr Kean said Fair Trading's Complaints Register provides information about traders that are the subject of 10 or more complaints in a calendar month.
"In December, a total of 18 businesses featured in the register, receiving 277 complaints between them. Overall in 2017, the register recorded more than 4500 complaints against 80 traders," Mr Kean said.
"The register is a handy tool for shoppers who want to check the reputation of their favourite retailers, and I encourage consumers to do their research.
"But the New Year is also a fresh start – and that means any business featured on the Complaints Register should take this opportunity to pull up their socks and make sure they're not making a return in 2018."
The Complaints Register can be found on the Fair Trading website.
