April 9, 2010: 40th anniversary reminds us to be at peace with Mother Earth, by Sister Janet Lander
April 9, 2010 by Sarah Jenkins
For 40 years now — since the first Earth Day in 1970 — we have had an annual reminder to live nonviolently with our Earth.
In the Concordia Year of Peace we have been striving for growth in nonviolent living skills and attitudes toward one another. This month, and the 40th anniversary of Earth Day on April 22, give us the opportunity to extend our loving regard and reverent action toward Earth, as well.
Though Earth could survive quite nicely without humans, we humans are totally dependent on the health and well-being of our planet. We are truly earthlings. We find our life embedded in the living systems of Earth.
Indeed, Earth is our mother. She is lamenting our way of living, if we have ears to hear. She is lamenting not only for her sake but for all creatures, and yes, for us. She is lamenting ongoing human violence against the web of life:
"I thirst!" she cries. "By the year 2025, at least 48 countries will face water scarcity conditions. The World Water Council reports that 1.1 billion people are currently living without safe drinking water, and still another 2.6 billion do not have adequate sanitation. What does and will this mean for our crops, our health and our international relations?"
"I am hungry!" Earth moans. "Developed nations feed more grain to their livestock than one-third of the human race eats directly. If these people just reduced meat consumption 10 percent there would be enough unused grain to feed 60 million of the world's hungry."
"I am ill," Earth warns, "and so are you! Did you know that the food with the highest level of contaminants is mother's milk? What you put into my body, you put into your own."
"I am naked!" Earth complains. "An average of 120,000 trees are cut down hourly in the Amazon alone. Only 4 percent of the original forests are left in the United States."
"I suffer violence!" Earth wails. "I am scarred by excessive extraction of ores and minerals, while my wetlands are being drained. Habitats are being lost, and almost 17,000 species of plants and animals are endangered, including one in four mammals, one in eight birds and one in three amphibians. Three-quarters of the fisheries are fished at or beyond capacity for self-renewal."
Nonviolence is not passive. It says a clear "no" to violence in any form, which is the "yes" of compassion to the cries of any who are suffering. May we be mindful, at least this month, of the "R's" of Right Relationship with Earth:
- Reverence flowing from reflection;
- Respectful responsiveness to suffering wherever we see it in creation;
- Refrain from consumerism by repair and reusing what we have;
- Recycle;
- Reduce energy consumption and polluting activities: our carbon footprint;
- Restore balance in our lives.
In the healing of Mother Earth, may we find ourselves healed as well.

MADISON, Wis. — Wisconsin physicians today urged the Trump Administration to stop sabotaging health care as COVID-19 cases surged past 100,000 in the state and positivity rates climbed this week to among the highest in the nation.
The physicians' appeal came as Vice President Mike Pence visited Wisconsin today and the debate over the future of Americans' health care, especially protections for preexisting conditions, reignited this week with the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, while the fate of the Affordable Care Act still lies with the U.S. Supreme Court.
"As physicians, we're concerned that President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence are taking a victory tour even as their mismanagement of the COVID-19 pandemic has caused infections to surge in Wisconsin and people to lose their employer-based health care," said Dr. Bob Freedland, MD, an ophthalmologist from La Crosse, WI. "President Trump and Vice President Pence are putting Americans at risk, both from their failure to respond adequately to COVID-19 and their dangerous efforts to take health care away from millions more people in the middle of a global pandemic. What is becoming clearer to physicians is that the Trump Administration appears to be neither willing nor capable of protecting Americans' health and safety."
Ginsburg's death renews concerns that the Trump Administration will succeed in achieving its longstanding goal of eliminating the ACA in the middle of a global pandemic that has killed 200,000 Americans — more than 1,200 in Wisconsin — and sickened 6.8 million people. In COVID-19 survivors, the disease is linked to long-term damage to heart muscles in both older patients as well as healthy youth. Among survivors, researchers are also linking COVID-19 to lung and brain damage and weakened blood vessels that could lead to liver and kidney disease. More than half of the people who survive COVID-19 suffer persistent fatigue. And even people with COVID-19 who don't show symptoms — asymptomatic patients who make up about 40 percent of all people infected — may also suffer long-term harm to their health.
"Wisconsin families face a double-whammy from a president actively working to take health care away from people with preexisting conditions, and from COVID-19, which can damage organs and create new preexisting conditions for countless people," said Dr. Ann Helms, MD, a neurologist in Milwaukee, WI. "As physicians, we see time and time again how the Trump Administration's health care decisions hurt people. Whether he's sabotaging the Affordable Care Act, opening the floodgates to short-term junk insurance that raises costs without protecting people, or causing needless deaths from COVID-19 because he refused to act quickly and decisively, one thing is clear: President Trump's health care record puts people at risk and makes medical professionals' jobs more difficult."
An estimated 21 million Americans have lost their jobs because of the COVID-19-related recession and the Trump Administration's inability to prepare the U.S. economy for widespread disease infections, sickness, deaths and business shutdowns. An estimated 62,000 people in Wisconsin lost their employer-provided health insurance when they were laid off between February and May, when the COVID-19 pandemic began sweeping across the nation.
"Taking health care away from Americans in a pandemic is like taking away the lifeboats on the Titanic," said Dr. Jonathan Kohler, MD, a pediatric surgeon in Madison, WI. "Physicians see what happens when people don't have health care: They put off seeing a doctor, they skip pills, and the Trump Administration's health care sabotage will only worsen people's pain and suffering. President Trump didn't come clean to Americans about COVID-19 and he didn't want to do the hard work of getting us the tests, the masks and the information that could have saved countless lives. Wisconsin still doesn't have enough tests to turn the corner on COVID-19, we still don't have enough masks to keep people safe, and we still don't have the leadership we need to keep Americans safe and healthy during COVID-19."
Seven months after the pandemic began in February, Wisconsin reported more than 10,000 cases over the past week, one of only eight states to report 10,000 or more new cases. On Sunday, Wisconsin's overall positive rate over the previous seven days was 16.3 percent, three times higher than the 5-percent international benchmark for safely reopening the economy. Wisconsin's previous seven-day period's test-positive rate was 14.1 percent. Wisconsin's high positive rate suggests that testing in the state is limited, and skewed toward those already flagged as potentially having the virus.
Even during the pandemic, the Trump Administration continues to support a lawsuit to eliminate the ACA. Republican attorneys general in 18 states are spearheading the lawsuit, scheduled to be heard in the U.S. Supreme Court after the Nov. 3 presidential election. The end of the ACA means insurance companies could once again refuse to provide care to or unfairly increase costs for 135 million Americans with preexisting conditions, including 2.4 million people with preexisting conditions in Wisconsin.
In 2012, the Supreme Court decided 5-4 to uphold the ACA's constitutionality. Ginsburg ruled with the majority to uphold critical provisions in the ACA such as states' ability to expand Medicaid so the health care program covers people with incomes at 138 percent of the federal poverty level. Wisconsin is one of 12 states that has not expanded Medicaid. Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers has proposed expanding Medicaid, which would provide health care to about 274,000 low-income individuals who are currently uninsured. Legislative Republicans blocked that effort.

We are going to look at the Top 14 Money Transfer Companies and then see how and or if Ripple is associated with them. We will only try and link direct sources form the companies website and avoid any 3rd party site like CCN, or CoinDesk as they never have reliable sources. Well, we shouldn't say never, but 99.9% of the time that is the case. Anyways let jump right into it!
Here is the Top 14 (US based) we have come up with – with help from Finder.com:
- Western Union
- MoneyGram
- WorldRemit
- XE Money Transfer
- TransferWise
- Travelex
- Walmart
- ShareMoney
- Ria
- TorFx
- Currencies Direct
- Xoom
- Currency Online
- Paypal
Now let's go through each one and see if we can link them to Ripple at all.
1st company on the list the oh so controversial Western Union. The latest news came from February 2019, when Molly Shea who is the General Manager of APAC for Western Union was featured on a Podcast called: Western Union in Asia Pacific & Trends in Fintech with Molly Shea and she stated at the 29:05 "We're piloting some settlement tests with @Ripple in certain corridors, I think the USD and the MXN"." Full video here: https://analyse.asia/2019/02/09/episode-284-western-union-in-asia-pacific-trends-in-fintech-with-molly-shea/
2nd: MoneyGram – January 11, 2018, we get news directly from MoneyGram that they partnered with Ripple to modernize Payments.
MoneyGram will pilot the use of XRP, the native digital asset of the XRP Ledger, in payment flows through xRapid, Ripple's solution for on-demand liquidity. XRP remains the most efficient digital asset for payments with transaction fees at just fractions of a penny, compared to Bitcoin fees of about $30 per transaction. Similarly, the average transaction time for XRP is 2-3 seconds with other top digital assets ranging from 15 minutes to an hour.
Also, we received news from Ripple Insights announcing the partnership.
MoneyGram will access and use XRP, the native digital asset of the XRP Ledger, in their payment flows through xRapid, Ripple's on-demand liquidity product.
3rd: WorldRemit: We couldn't find any solid information support a Ripple and WorldRemit connection. If you find something please comment in the comment section below.
4th: XE Money Transfer:XE.com is a Canadian-based online foreign exchange tool and services company, best known for its online currency converter application, which offers exchange rate information, international money transfers, and other currency-related services via its website and other online channels. XE is a subsidiary or Euronet WorldWide. XE has not officially listed XRP but down the line, we can see this happening.
Hey @CryptoAmb For clarity, we are always looking to enhance our informational services – but there are no near term plans. https://t.co/txY542aaYb
— XE Currency (@xe) May 3, 2019
5th: TransferWise: As of May 10th, 2019, TransferWise is not using Blockchain but the Co-Founder stated that:
"If every bank in the world was going through the Ripple network, it would be amazing. Yet how many banks are using Ripple today in production? It's a very short list. In that sense we're big supporters of Ripple or anything else…and if any of these gets enough adoption, and it actually materially helps us do things cheaper and faster, we'd love to, but so far we haven't found one."
So as we see Ripple's network grow we will see TranserWise added to the list.
6th: Travelex: Finablr owns, Travelex. Currently, Finablr confirmed that the UAE Exchange and Unimoni are live on RippleNet. As we do not have proper clarification right now that Travelex is using RippleNet, in the near future we can expect to see Finablr move all of there brands onto RippleNet.
7th: Walmart: This is an easy one. Walmart offers 2 services. Walmart2World which Utilized MoneyGram who is a confirmed partner of Ripple (see above) and they also have Walmart2Walmart which uses RIA who is another confirmed partner of Ripple. So WALMART IS A BIG FAT YES!
8th: ShareMoney: We sent them an email waiting to hear back.
9th: Ria: Is Ria a partner of Ripple? 100% they are. Here is the Ripple Insights article from May 1st when this partnership was announced. From the article Ripple states:
Ria Money Transfer, a subsidiary of Euronet Worldwide, has joined RippleNet to enable instant, blockchain-powered global payments. With customers in over 155 countries, more than 377,000 locations worldwide, and $40 billion in money transfer volume per year, Ria is one of the largest payment service providers in the world
Ria is found in every Walmart store across the world. This is a massive partner to have on board.
10th: TorFx: Could not locate any concrete information about a partnership with Ripple, but we did send an email out in regards to Ripplnet.
11th: Currencies Direct: Last year around this time we got news from Currencies Direct chief product office Brian Harris stating that Currencies Direct did a pilot with XRP using Xrapid:
Brian Harris went on to declare the pilot program "a resounding success," We're currently assessing our next steps, but the evidence we've gathered indicates that the use of XRP is a game changer, making payments near-immediate and significantly improving service to our customers." He also added – Our goal is to offer the best possible service. We believe that utilizing cryptocurrencies in this way – as a transfer of value, rather than as a store of value – is the next logical step for our industry. It is, after all, the intended purpose of cryptocurrencies and we're proud to be leveraging new technology to deliver the most convenient and seamless experience for our customers."
Currencies Direct said XRP WAS A GAME CHANGER! Asheesh Birla Senior Vice President of Product at Ripple added in:
"The results speak for themselves – xRapid leverages XRP to transform the way money moves by significantly lowering the cost and time it takes to make a cross-border payment. xRapid offers an enhanced payments experience, while also allowing payment providers to gain a competitive advantage in the market."
12th: Xoom: We covered this story at xrprightnow.com (site your on) back in January 2019: Paypal Services and XRP via Earthport – must-read article. We also get news from Deutsche Bank that XOOM is a Ripple partner see this PDF and head to page 11 or look at the screenshot below:
13th: Currency Online: Was bought out by XE (see#4 in this list) and they are not using RippleNet at the time being
14th: Paypal: Even though Paypal isn't working directly with Ripple, Paypal works indirectly with Ripple as we look at there sister company XOOM (see #12 in this list)
So as a summary, as we looked over the top 14 Money Transfer Companies and Ripple's Connection we found out that 6 out of the 14 (really 13 as 1 company was bought out) are members of RippleNet.
Western Union
Currencies Direct
I think it is safe to say these 6 are the biggest money transfer companies in the game.

Hailey Bieber is making amends after being called out in a now viral TikTok video.
Here's what happened. A TikTok user named JuliaCarolAnn posted two videos in which she rated celebrities based on how nice (or not) they were to her when she was working as a hostess at a trendy New York City restaurant. (The website Guest of a Guest surmises that the hot spots could be Nobu Downtown, TAO, LAVO, or Beauty & Essex.)
Gigi and Bella Hadid scored a perfect 10 out of 10. "These two are literally so nice, I cannot say enough things about them. They're super polite and friendly with staff, which unfortunately is rare for celebrities," she said.
But their good pal, Bieber, didn't fare quite so well. "This is gonna be controversial. I've met her a handful of times, and every time she was not nice," Julia alleged of Bieber. "I really wanna like her, but I have to give her a 3.5 out of 10. Sorry."
The video currently has over 2.6 million views and, at some point, got Bieber' attention—and she had a very lovely response.
"Just came across this video, and wanted to say so sorry if I've ever given you bad vibes or a bad attitude. That's not ever my intention," Bieber wrote in the comments. "Hate hearing that was your experience with me but glad u called me out so I can do better!! Hopefully we meet again so I can apologize in person."
Julia graciously accepted the apology, writing, "Hi Hailey! We love an accountability queen 👑 thanks sm for taking the time to apologize—I hope we can meet again one day and start over. x"
You love to see it.
In case you were wondering how other celebrities fared, Julia gave Kylie Jenner an even lower rating than Hailey Bieber: a 2 out of 10. "She was fine but she tipped $20 on a $500 dinner bill. Do with that information what you will," she alleged. But like the Hadid sisters, Josh Peck also got a perfect score.

Met Gala 2019: Everything You Need To Know About This Year's Theme, 'Camp'
Everything you wanted to know, and didn't know who to ask, about the Met Gala's most bizarre theme yet
If there's one thing that's certain about the Met Gala (aka the most-anticipated fashion event of the year), it's the endeavour to provoke. Take for instance this year's edition that took place in May, titled 'Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination'. In the wake of a seemingly sensitive topic, there was conjecture among industry folk ahead of the gala that eventually witnessed the likes of Rihanna masquerading as the pope in Maison Margeila, and Katy Perry in life-sized angel wings. The exhibition went on become the most-visited one in the history of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Come 2019, the theme takes on a more nebulous character. Based on American writer, Susan Sontag's 1964 essay, the concept for the upcoming year is 'Camp: Notes on Fashion'. So what exactly is camp? In a complex 58-point treatise, Notes on Camp, Sontag explains, "The essence of camp is its love of the unnatural: Of artifice and exaggeration." Through the essay, she assimilates various cultural references that make up camp – old Flash Gordon comics, Busby Berkeley musical tracks, flamboyant womenswear from the 20s and chinoiserie. Despite these examples, it might appear tough to bottle up camp. For Andrew Bolton, head curator of the museum's Costume Institute, there couldn't have been a better time to explore the topic, "We are going through an extreme camp moment, and it felt very relevant to the cultural conversation to look at what is often dismissed as empty frivolity but can be actually a very sophisticated and powerful political tool, especially for marginalised cultures," he says.
From pop camp, queer camp and high camp, the theme aptly captures the zeitgeist of the current fashion landscape – one that's always existed but hasn't been encapsulated. To further simplify, camp mirrors the socio-political phenomenons that have translated into fashion, be it activist clothing, blurred gender norms and diverse castings, especially those that support the LGBTQ+ community. But a crucial element of camp is aesthetic, one that is synonymous with avante-garde theatrics and the art nouveau movement. It also lays heavy emphasis on irony, humour, parody, and excess, all qualities that can be found in the works of several contemporary designers, with Alessandro Michele's Gucci ranking high on the list.
Michele, who will be co-chairing the event, is renowned for introducing a pathbreaking and a very campish aesthetic to the Italian brand by devising gangs of magpies, nerds and gypsies all dressed in a cacophony of Asian boudoir, preppy sportswear and prom dress nostalgia. The exhibition will showcase 175 pieces that will include high fashion, art as well as artifacts tracing the origins of camp back to Versailles.
On display will be the works of veteran designers such as Jean Paul Gaultier, John Galliano, Jeremy Scott and Elsa Schiaparelli as well as those of spunky new-age labels – Vetements, Off-White, Gypsy Sport, Matty Bovan, Richard Quinn and Demna Gvasalia's Balenciaga.
"Camp is the consistently aesthetic experience of the world. It incarnates a victory of 'style' over 'content', 'aesthetics' over 'morality', of irony over tragedy," says Sontag. This statement resonates accurately with young monikers; take for instance Off-White's hot-selling knitted dress with the words 'LITTLE BLACK DRESS' emblazoned on the sides, or Vetements's feverishly popular 'Staff' T-shirt from Spring/Summer 2018. Camp also focuses on the notion of surplus, of exaggeration. Think Schiaparelli's trademark trompe l'oeil sweaters and Molly Goddard's capacious cake dresses, any thing that's a visual debauchery of sequins, embellishment and feathers.
Joining Michele is a fine roster of co-hosts – Lady Gaga, Harry Styles and Serena Williams, who individually embody the art of camp. Gaga has been a purveyor of the trend long before it turned mainstream. Who can forget her gobsmacking meat dress, and her array of bewildering millenery? Then there's Styles who has become a fashion poster boy. In the handful of Gucci campaigns he's featured in, the singer dons necklaces and bejewelled hairbands, generating a new brand of masculinity. And finally there's Williams, who's grabbed eyeballs not only for her accomplishments on the tennis court but also for her series of bespoke Off-White X Nike tutus (lilac tulle and everything). Sontag also talks about modern dandyism – the unwavering attention to appearance, the 'glorification of a character' and the omnipresent sense of glamour. She quotes Oscar Wilde – "One should either be a work of art, or wear a work of art." All these facets take us back to the hedonistic Saint Laurent reign of the '70s where to be a muse was the job, one that can be reflected in the life of Jacques de Bascher, the original flaneur and high-browed socialite. This is also reflected in today's culture of fashion exhibitionism, the constant need to show and to be seen, even through the boundless stretch of social media.
It's challenging to approximate what's in store for the upcoming gala. With a theme that's puzzlingly open-ended and indulgent, will we be watching Kim Kardashian drenched in a barely there diamanté leotard? Or, will we experience a true case of the gender-bender with the ever- whimsical Jared Leto paying homage to the exuberant Greta Garbo. We're game for it all, as Sontag concludes, "The ultimate camp statement: It's good because it's awful."

A message of forgiveness
Khamisa talked about how when he was a child he grew up in Kenya where he was born. Later on in his life he went on to study abroad in England where he learned to become an investment banker.
When he was living in Kenya and he had his son he felt that the safest thing to do for his family would be to move to America. He moved in 1974 and became a U.S. citizen in 1979.
His son Tariq Khamisa was a college student and was a pizza delivery man on Fridays and Saturdays. On Saturday Jan. 21 1995 Tariq was shot while delivering pizzas to a fake address. Tariq was 20 years old when he was killed.
The killer's name was Tony Hicks who was 14 years old when he shot Tariq. Hicks was a member of a gang and was ordered to take the shot. He was tried and found guilty as an adult and was sentenced to prison until the age of 46.
After Khamisa had grieved over his son's death he started the Tariq Khamisa Foundation. The foundation focuses on stopping youth violence.
"Our vision is a world free of youth violence. Our mission statement is to stop kids from killing kids," Khamisa said.
Khamisa explained that they had three mandates. The first is to save lives of children, the second is to empower the right choices not the wrong choices, and the third is to teach the principles of non violence, compassion, and forgiveness.
After Khamisa set up the foundation he went to Hicks' grandfather Plez Felix,who had been taking care of Tony, and said that he was not angry at him but instead he felt that they had both lost a son.
Once the talk was over Felix decided to help with the efforts of the Tariq Khamisa Foundation. He visits schools with Khamisa and teaches the kids about the wrongs of youth violence.
Not only did Khamisa reach out to Felix but he also forgave Hicks for the murder of his son. Khamisa talked about how forgiveness is a big part of what he teaches to children.
"We teach that we can all offer forgiveness instead of revenge, because revenge is a precursor of every new act of violence," Khamisa said.
Khamisa said that he goes to schools around the country and teaches them about forgiveness and peace. He wants the children to realize that violence is not the solution to anything.
He feels that America can do great things and does great things but that it also can teach wrong things. He talked about how we send our music and movies out to other countries when some of these things can promote violence.
"While we are exporting the good stuff from here, we are also exporting our violence," Khamisa said.
Khamisa said he wants to put an end to youth violence and hopes that many Americans will help him reach his goal.
After the speech Khamisa answered questions from the audience and it was clear that they enjoyed and respected what he had to say.
"I thought he was really a great speaker. He has great insight into how one is to forgive after a tradegy," said Megan Lewis, 24, psychology.
Khamisa said that he loves to talk to kids about forgiveness and peace, and he hopes to continue doing so for a long time.

Allocating Bandwidth to Applications Not Controlled by SRC ACP
If you control the bandwidth of some applications by means of SRC ACP, you can accommodate the applications that are not controlled by SRC ACP by assigning background bandwidths for the edge congestion points. The background bandwidth is the total bandwidth allocated to the applications for which bandwidth is not controlled by SRC ACP.
Because the total background bandwidth is unlikely to be used at a particular time, you can also specify a tuning factor that provides an estimation of the fraction of the background bandwidth that will be used. You can configure multiple values for the background bandwidth with corresponding tuning factors.

Christian Hospitality
Newcomer Incorporation: A Countercultural Activity
Many of us have heard the old saying "Everybody who should be an Episcopalian already is." We laugh nervously when we hear it because we realize that the adage reveals, perhaps, a truth about American Anglicanism of which we are not particularly proud.
In their 1978 tongue-in-cheek expose entitled The Power of Their Glory — America's Ruling Class: The Episcopalians, Kit and Frederica Konolige observe that Episcopalians possess "a preference for family expansion rather than missionary activity as a means of growing as a religion." This, coupled with the fact that in many communities, the Episcopal Church has historically functioned as a refuge for the social elite, has led many members of our small but influential denomination to believe that everyone with good sense, and certainly everyone with good taste, would beat a path to our doors.
This cherished belief was first questioned in the '60's. Prayer Book revision, the church's stand on civil rights, the ordination of women, and more recently, the debate on human sexuality have all caused many to beat a path to the exit doors. As a result, the Episcopal Church began in earnest to enter into the art of evangelism, until then a countercultural activity.
Our most important evangelistic activity
The ministry of welcoming newcomers into our midst is arguably the most important evangelistic activity in which a parish can engage. Gone are the days when people just plopped down at the nearest church.
New residents of a community unabashedly "church-shop," often visiting parishes several miles from their home, and choose congregations based on a variety of criteria — music, preaching, Christian education, churchmanship, and politics — namely, where a given parish stands on the conservative-progressive continuum. And in a day when "brand loyalty" is no longer a given, a recently relocated family with roots in the Episcopal Church may well choose a Methodist congregation because its youth program better meets the needs of their children.
Of course, this cuts both ways. Our liturgy and our reputation as a church that doesn't require its members to check their brains at the door continue to be beacons to those of other traditions. Many Episcopalians, for example, count among their membership former Presbyterian-Roman Catholic couples, who find in the Episcopal Church a spiritual and theological via media.
Intentionality begins the process
We at Calvary do not believe that we have by any means perfected the newcomer process, but we have met with modest success by incorporating the following principle: intentionality. For the reasons outlined above, newcomer ministry cannot be left to chance. This means that vestries must allocate personnel, time and resources to the newcomer effort.
We must also be intentional for another reason. Our church building, described in a local newspaper recently as "44,000 square feet of Gothic Revival prominence," is not, on its face, warm and welcoming. Our behavior, therefore, must serve to counteract the possibly chilling effect of tons of Indiana limestone.
During the announcements at the Sunday Eucharist, we welcome all newcomers and invite them to stand, and they are presented with loaves of bread, baked by our Parish Loafers. Some newcomers, having sought anonymity on their church-hopping tour, opt not to stand, but we know they appreciate the welcome, because they do identify themselves to the clergy at the west door following the service. Attached to the loaf of bread is an information card (also found in the pew rack) which we ask the newcomers to fill out.
Secondly, we bombard newcomers with information. A packet is mailed immediately following the first visit, containing a letter from the rector, the parish newsletter, music and Christian Formation brochures, copies of recent sermons, a list of parish programs and outreach activities, a pledge card and other materials.
Our curate, whose portfolio includes newcomer incorporation, follows up with a phone call, e-mail or personal visit as appropriate. (I am guided by the testimony of a parishioner who explained that she chose our parish after a church-shopping tour thirty years ago because on the Wednesday after her visit, one of the parish clergy appeared on her doorstep!)
The parish also follows up with an invitation, either to a brunch at the home of the rector or warden, or to a foyer group, "cells" of about a dozen or so new and old members who gather periodically for dinner and conversation. We find this an effective way to foster relationships which would otherwise be difficult to do in a large congregation.
No less important are "on-site" invitations extended by parishioners to join them at coffee hour, or an offer to help the visitor navigate through the Prayer Book or the Sunday bulletin. An Inquirers' Class, led by members of the parish staff, is offered to newcomers (and oldtimers) at least twice a year. Using James Griffiss' The Anglican Vision or a similiar book we provide an introduction to the faith as this church has received it for those from other traditions (or a refresher course for Episcopalians who may have had little instruction since their Confirmation class).
More than pew-warming
All of these steps lead to involvement. Evangelism experts tell us that newcomer incorporation is not complete until the person has a job other than pew-warming. Serving on an outreach committee, volunteering in the bookstore, or reading a lesson means that the newcomer has a stake in parish life. When all is said and done, newcomer incorporation is about extending hospitality, an act which, the Epistle to the Hebrews reminds us, may result in entertaining angels unawares.
The Rev. Dr. Harold T. Lewis, an Episcopal Church Foundation fellow, is rector of CalvaryChurch, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and Adjunct Professor of Church and Society at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary.

Indie Game of The Week: Retro City Rampage
by 13 October, 2012 11:37 am0
Every once in a great while we get a game that is the ultimate tribute to the retro 8-bit era of gaming. Usually, playing such a game, involves a genuine indie title that lacks any real depth or substance.
It's no secret that a lot of the gaming world has been taken aback by retro art styles. Minecraft was an instant hit, and it had less than stellar graphics. It seems as though the gaming community as a whole, has latched on to the nostalgic feeling that retro style games cause.
If you can remember the early days of the Grand Theft Auto series, there were no fancy graphics or explosions, and there were no fancy car models or cut scenes. The first Grand Theft Auto titles were presented with 8-bit style graphics. They featured a top-down overhead camera view that followed the player as they ran and gunned their way through a traditional open world city.
Sure, the original titles weren't nearly as advanced as the Grand Theft Auto games we have today, but they were certainly fun. They were so much fun that some folks would even love to play those old school games again.
We've got a game that is extraordinarily similar to the classic Grand Theft Auto titles yet it includes remarkably modern gameplay mechanics. The game we're talking about is called Retro City Rampage, and it is our Indie Game of the Week.
Indie Game of The Week: Retro City Rampage
Retro City Rampage is an open-world arcade style game, that is presented in retro 8-bit style graphics. Of course, the color palette in Retro City Rampage is a little more diverse than classic titles. You will see lots and lots of beautiful scenery and colors in Retro, that much is true. Of course, if you don't like 8-bit graphics to begin with, then you'll probably call us liars and hate us, but that's beside the point.
The product description for Retro City Rampage is as follows:
"Cruise through the open-world in over 40 stolen vehicles while outrunning the law and mowing down fellow citizens! Jump on pedestrians for coins, or use them for target practice with over 25 weapons and power-ups! WHOA!"
What Kind of Game is Retro City Rampage?
Retro City is Rampage is first and foremost a parody. It is painstakingly obvious as you play the game that the developer has tried to poke fun of every gaming and pop culture icon from the late 80s and early 90s. There are hundreds of original nods to some of the best movies and games out there.
The game follows a character named "Player," who's after crime centered fame and fortune in a city rightfully called Theftropolis.
When the game opens, you'll participate in a heist led by a man known as the Jester, who is incredibly reminiscent of the Joker from the Dark Knight. After making a getaway in a bus and a rather amusing firefight, you run into time travelers who arrive in a phone booth. Without anywhere to go, you kick Bill and Ted out of their famed time travel device and jump in yourself. You are brought to the distant future, where an old white-haired doc in a Delorean finds you and vows to fix the broken time machine so you can return home. The story actually gets quite a bit more complicated than that, but you get the idea. There are lots of pop culture icons being made fun of in Retro City.
The game itself is relatively easy to play, and gameplay elements are almost exactly like the classic Grand Theft Auto series. You can wander the city streets and "borrow" vehicles to move around faster. Throughout your journey, you collect guns to blow things up, and you can even climb into a tank to wreak some havoc.
The beauty of Retro City Rampage is that you can certainly lose yourself in all the witty humor if you're a long time video game and pop culture fan. If you weren't around the 80s, you might miss a few references, but that's okay there are plenty to go around.
Combat is nothing more than superficial hand to hand, or ranged shooting that uses an unusually shallow cover system. You can take cover behind objects when the bullets are really flying, but it's not a trick vital to your survival. Otherwise, most of your life in Theftropolis will be spent driving around in vehicles mowing down pedestrians and pesky police officers.
There are several arcades spread throughout the city too. Video game arcades in Retro City Rampage allow you to play more than 30 additional mini games like Super Meat Boy and Bit Trip Runner.
Retro City Rampage is Available Now
Retro City Rampage was developed by one man, Brian Provinciano. He designed the game to include all of his favorite things, and mashed them together in the 8-bit world of Theftropolis.
Retro City is not for everyone that much is true, but for those who have a history with NES games and late 80s pop culture in general, it will certainly provide a nostalgic experience. There isn't much to keep you coming back for more later, but that's okay.
Retro City Rampage is usually $14.99, and it's available on a bunch of consoles and systems. We recommend picking it up for the PSVita if you have one, but Retro City is also available for PC via Steam. You could always give your money directly to the developer by purchasing through the official website.

Rough Point
Newport in the 1960s was a time-worn place, a city of many architectural layers. Some saw decay; others saw a sleeping beauty. Urban renewal celebrated modernity, and historic preservation revered the past. These two forces were engaged in an epic battle for the future of the city. Through period photographs and compelling news reports, journey back to the old colonial districts of the Historic Hill and Point and witness the explosive firmament of the 1960s when an important chapter in Newport's history was being written.
Doors will open at 5:00; the lecture begins at 5:30. We invite you to visit the special exhibition galleries before the program.
About the Presenter
John R. Tschirch is an award winning architectural historian. He received his M.A. (1986) in Architectural History and Historic Preservation from the School of Architecture at the University of Virginia. His thirty-year career in the preservation and study of historic landmarks across the globe brought him on treks to French chateaux, English castles, Italian villas, Austrian palaces, Croatian fortresses, Argentinian mansions and the Gilded Age houses of America. John currently serves as the Visiting Curator of Urban History at the Newport Historical Society.
This program is co-hosted by the Newport Historical Society and the Newport Restoration Foundation. This event is one of many during the 2018 season that celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Newport Restoration Foundation, by looking back at — and sometimes reviving — what Doris Duke and others were up to around the time of its founding.
This lecture is also part of the Newport Historical Society's "Mapping the Newport Experience" project, which documents the evolution of Newport's urban plan and streetscapes from colonial settlement to the present.

Plasma Fibroblast Skin Tightening is a revolutionary treatment that allows us to eliminate the excess tissue that causes wrinkles and sagging skin. When the skin is exposed to plasma energy, it goes through the process of sublimation, the action of turning matter from solid, to gas bypassing the liquid stage.
In other words, we are 'evaporating' the excess tissue without the application of excess heat and in a non-invasive manner. This sublimation effect causes an instant contraction of the tissue, eliminating wrinkles and sagging skin. The Plasma Fibroblast device lifts, tightens, and resurfaces skin with an electrical arc of nitrogen plasma gas and targeted heat. Like lasers and microneedling, it creates micro injuries in your skin, triggering a wound-healing response.
Plasma Skin Tightening is indeed a breakthrough in the beauty industry, and a massive opportunity for beauty professionals for the following reasons:
Since this treatment is a direct alternative to facial surgery without the risk and the high costs, it's generating massive demand all over the world and it's just getting started in the United States. Plasma Skin Tightening is a non-invasive treatment. Using PLASMA PEN, medical technology that uses REAL PLASMA. Renew Image is an authority when it comes to helping our students find insurance that fits their needs as well. Our program was featured as One of the Top Advanced Modality Training Centers in the Nation by the Association of Skin Care Professionals. ASCP is a highly rated association and offers insurance for most medical spa services.
The price per procedure ranges from $400 to $2,500 and takes between 60 minutes to 120 minutes to complete per treatment. It's possible to earn 6-figures working 3 days a week!
The applications are endless, it's possible for us to treat almost any part of the body that needs it. We can treat face, stomach, neck, and any area that needs tightening.
It has no side effects, virtually zero down time, and it's simple to learn!
Plasma Skin Tightening is the next big thing in beauty. Skincare and anti-aging is the biggest market in the beauty industry.

Shortage of electricity prompted the countries to give a momentum to renewable energy resources. Renewable energy refers to energy resources that Aries naturally and repeatedly in the environment and can be harnessed for human benefits. It includes solar, wind and geothermal energy. We also get renewable energy from tree and plants, rivers and even municipal solid waste. We discuss in this paper about solar energy. In rural areas the major problem is deficiency of electricity and because of this these areas are still far behind then urban areas in case of development.. India's grid system is considerably under developed, with major section of its populace site surviving in deficiency for electricity. As per the record of 2006, there are 80,000 un-electrified villages in the country, out of which 18,000 villages are not electrified till now. Indian government in the budget of 2010- 11 has allocate Rs. 1000 crore approx for Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission including clean energy fund establishment. It can give satisfactorily result towards the development and enhancement of solar energy equipment. In this paper we discuss an overview of global solar energy, Indian solar energy, economical development and solar energy potential.

It's difficult not to shed a tear upon seeing the happy smile captured in so many photographs of 1-year-old Carmelo Duncan. A little boy with bright eyes, an infectious smile and those chubby kissable cheeks is no longer with us. Someone murdered him. A gunman, who remains at-large, fatally shot Carmelo as he sat strapped in his car seat in the back seat of a vehicle driven by his father. Carmelo's 8-year-old brother was seated next to him. Two people were reportedly driving along the intersection near Central and Southern Avenues in Southeast last Wednesday, Dec. 3, when they fired multiple times into the car.
Family and friends held vigils near the site where the dastardly deed occurred and joined together to call for the end of gun violence while also demanding that city officials help get guns off the streets. They appealed to the perpetrators to turn themselves in. Meanwhile, in partnership with the ATF Washington Field Division and the FBI Washington Field Office, MPD is offering up to a $60,000 reward to anyone who provides information leading to the arrest and conviction of the responsible person(s).
Sadly, Carmelo's death is not a singular occurrence. A Google search of "one-year-olds shot" in 2020 returns multiple names. In Brooklyn, New York, 1-year-old Davell Gardner was killed last July while sitting in his stroller when someone fired gunshots across a park. In June, someone killed 1-year-old Sincere Gaston and injured his mother in Chicago while they were driving home from the laundromat. A car pulled up, and someone inside, reportedly, fired about seven shots into the vehicle. In another example, someone shot into a home, killing 1-year-old Zykier Young as the child slept in his crib.
According to the Gun Violence Archives, Carmelo's name counts among 271 children between the ages of 0 and 11 whose lives were lost this year to gun violence as of Dec. 8. And many, like the 2-year-old shot in the foot this week in Montgomery County, occurred due to negligence involving leaving a weapon unattended and accessible to a child.
Guns protect but they also kill and innocent children should not become the victims.

AC/DC's PHIL RUDD Is 'A Good Fella' Who Is 'Burning The Ones Who Care About Him'November 6, 2014
The man who was reportedly approached about killing two people by AC/DC drummer Phil Rudd has described the musician as a "good fella," but denied knowing anything about the murder-plot allegations.
Ruddwas arrested by New Zealand police and charged with attempting to procure a murder. Rudd also faces charges of possessing the drugs methamphetamine and cannabis, and of threatening to kill. Rudd's home in New Zealand was raided by police on Thursday morning (November 6) and the 60-year-old drummer was taken to court, where he entered no plea to the charges later that afternoon. He was released on bail and will reappear in court on November 27.
Rudd is alleged to have tried to hire a hitman to kill two men. Their names and that of the intended hitman were not released to the media. If convicted, Rudd faces a maximum of 10 years in jail.
The alleged events reportedly took place between September 25 and September 26.
The alleged intended hitman befriended Rudd after meeting him when he ran a parlor in Tauranga. The man, who said police called him yesterday morning to inform him of Rudd's arrest, told the Bay Of Plenty Times the drummer would often let him drive his cars and would take him on trips in his helicopter or they would go fishing together.
However, as of late, Rudd had become irritable and was doing things that were negatively affecting his long-term relationships.
"He's burning the ones who care about him," the man said.
"The joys of being a rock star, always in the spotlight," he added. "You've got to feel sorry for him — just the expectations everyone has of him. He's a good fella. He's got a big heart."
When asked about murder-plot allegations, the man replied: "I don't know what you're talking about."
Rudd was missing from AC/DC's new publicity photo and was also a no-show at the group's video shoot on October 3 and October 4 for its two new singles, "Play Ball" and "Rock Or Bust".
Rudd was replaced for the filming by drummer Bob Richards. Singer Brian Johnson reportedly told fans at the shoot that Rudd was unable to participate due to an undisclosed "family emergency."
AC/DC's new album, "Rock Or Bust", will be released on December 2. The 11-song set is AC/DC's first without guitarist Malcolm Young, who is suffering from dementia. He has been replaced by nephew Stevie Young.

This makes being on social media that much more important. Word of mouth is still one of the best ways of marketing. In today's age, Social Media Marketing is the word of mouth.
Build Social Reputation
Before a customer decides to buy, they look to see if the business is trustworthy and if others who have used your products or services recommend you. Building social reputation and gaining your customer's trust is extremely important in attracting more customers to buy from your business. We'll share your 5-star reviews on social media platforms, giving more reasons for customers to do business with you.
Engage with More Customers
The more you engage with your customers, the more your business will grow. Social media marketing is a perfect platform to share engaging information with your customers. Help customers through the buying process by providing them with educational information. Here's a scenario, your potential customer is on Facebook browsing through their feed, we just shared a post about your product or service, they like what they see and decide to take action.

"Good Job Guys! Glad I found you."
"It was a lucky day, and I'm glad I found Wahi Digital Marketing. After being frustrated with my online marketing agency and web designer I was looking for someone new to help me. That's when I found Wahi Digital Marketing. Their own website looked beautiful and their marketing message just got me "Marketing That Really Works" and "Let's Turn Your Business Into A Selling Machine". So I gave them a try and they wrote my website way better than anyone could have. All with little to no direction. Then they designed a logo for me. They showed me 20+ logo concept designs and I narrowed it down to a few and selected a winning logo that me and my team just absolutely loved. Good job guys! Glad I found you guys."

2017 Kia K900 is flagship sedan
Introduced back in 2015, Kia has reached for the brass ring with the debut of an all-new full-size sedan: the K900. The K900 is poised to challenge the rear-drive luxury sedan segment with an extensive list of standard equipment, world-class accommodations, premium driving dynamics and stunning design that will redefine consumer perception and expectations of the Kia brand.
Exterior styling includes Kia's signature grille that resides nearly vertically in the smoothly contoured front fascia. A chrome halo surrounds the dark chrome inner elements, which hints at the power and potential behind it. Airflow-smoothing underbody panels mounted beneath the nose, engine bay and cabin help reduce drag and improve efficiency. In side profile, the swept rake of the greenhouse, subdued cut lines along the doors and high rear deck lid lend a muscular tension to the sheet metal.
Upgrades and enhancements for 2017 includes the following newly standard safety features: Blind Spot Detection with Rear-Cross Traffic Alert, and Lane Change Assist.
Offered V6 Premium, V6 Luxury, and V8 Luxury trim levels, base power for the Kia flagship sedan is generated by a powerful 3.8L Lamba V6 engine. The V8 model introduces consumers to the Tau DOHC all-aluminum 32-valve 5.0L prime mover – the first V8 in a Kia sedan. Both engines are bolted to an eight-speed automatic transmission with gear ratios tailored to best match the engine application. Shift mapping is variable depending on the driver-selectable settings of Eco, Normal and Sport, and each mode also adjusts the electric steering's sensitivity.
The rear-drive layout of the K900 encourages spirited driving, and the solid chassis, consisting of 75 percent high and ultra-high tensile strength steel, utilizes advanced manufacturing methods that result in a body shell with exceptional strength and torsional rigidity.
Control hardware consists of an advanced five-link fully independent front and rear suspension that soaks up road imperfections while also managing to communicate what's happening at each corner. Mounted on a sub-frame to isolate road shocks, the front suspension has coaxial coil-spring shock absorbers and a new friction bearing in the steering column to enhance straight-line stability and steering precision. At the rear, the suspension sub-frame also houses the differential, and the coil springs and shock absorbers are separate units, allowing for negative camber for improved cornering ability.
The K900 V8 includes as standard equipment staggered P245/45P-19 front and P275/40R-19 rear tires on 19-inch chrome alloy wheels while the V6 rides on 18-inch alloy wheels shod with P245/50R-18 tires.
Inside the passenger cabin, a sense of elegant sophistication can be found within the luxuriously appointed cabin. The three-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel is substantial and features controls for audio, cruise control, entertainment, and vehicle information. A heated wheel is available on the V6 and standard on the V8. Standard high-grade leather is found throughout the cabin on the V6, which can also be optioned with soft Nappa leather in black or white with contrasting piping. The V8 K900 arrives with standard Nappa leather. Soft-hue LED interior illumination is standard across the K900 line. Genuine walnut (with black Nappa leather) or poplar (with white Nappa leather) wood trim sweeps across the dash and door panels, beautifully complementing the richness of the interior and is available on the V6 and standard on the V8.
A 12-way adjustable driver's seat, including power lumbar support, is standard on both the V6 Premium and V8 Luxury models, and a 16-way power adjusted driver's seat features power headrests and cushion extender for added thigh support as part of the V6 Technology Package and the V8 VIP Package. The front seats feature standard multi-stage heating and ventilation for individualized comfort in all climates.
The K900's executive-class accommodations continue at the rear of the cabin. Standard features include multi-stage heating for the outboard seats. Accessing a panel within the center armrest, rear-seat passengers also have the ability to control the vehicle's ventilation system and may even fold the back cushion of the front passenger seat forward with the touch of a button. K900 passengers may also operate the standard power rear window sunshade, and retractable rear side window sunshades are standard across all models. A full-length panoramic roof with power retractable sunshade is standard on all V8 models.
Opting for the V8 VIP Package takes rear seat comfort to another level. Both seats offer multi-stage heating and cooling, have the ability to independently recline and incorporate power lumbar support and lateral headrest adjustability.

- One of the strongest adhesives known, epoxy is designed primarily for the bonding of non-porous surfaces, but can also be used effectively on wood.
- Available in clear, white or metallic finish.
- Most epoxies come in two parts: a resin and a hardener (or "catalyst") which must be mixed together before the adhesive is used. Once mixed, the material will set permanently in a specified length of time—most will permanently bond, even under water.
- The bond will withstand most solvents when curing is complete.
- Excellent for sealing gaps and will withstand vibration and shock.
- Can be used on pipes, radiators, wood, metal, ceramic tile, china, marble, glass and masonry.
- Since epoxy is toxic and flammable, use extreme caution when handling.
