5.553782 | 2.128385 | 5 | 3rd Tuesday after Pentecost The Gospel According to Matthew
10:9-15 The Lord said to his disciples, "Take no gold, nor
silver, nor copper in your belts, no bag for your journey, nor
two tunics, nor sandals, nor a staff; for the laborer deserves
his food. And whatever town or village you enter, find out who
is worthy in it, and stay with him until you depart. As you
enter the house, salute it. And if the house is worthy, let your
peace come upon it; but if it is not worthy, let your peace
return to you. And if any one will not receive you or listen to
your words, shake off the dust from your feet as you leave that
house or town. Truly I say to you, it shall be more tolerable on
the day of judgment for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah than for
that town." |

uncontrolled descent of a rocket stage is increasing, with
legislation urgently needed to prevent potential tragedies, says
a team of political scientists and astronomers in Canada. Most
space launches still result in the uncontrolled return to Earth
of at least parts of rockets – uncontrolled in this sense
referring to the absence of an engine burn to put the rocket
stage on a safe trajectory into the ocean. Although many pieces
of space debris meet a fiery end in Earth’s atmosphere, parts of
rockets can be large enough to reach the ground and cause
damage. The group behind this fresh assessment of the risks is
led by Michael Byers, who is a professor of global politics and
international law at the University of British Columbia in
Vancouver. The team found that the greatest danger is to people
living in the southern hemisphere, often in poorer nations that
have no direct connection with space launches. In May 2020, for

a burning question I’ve thought a lot about. Actually, I’ve been
obsessed with this question. Obviously, I’m a big believer in
the power of physical strength to optimize our performance and
help us achieve the specific goals we want. There’s no question
in my mind about the benefits of strength, but how strong do we
need to become? One simple reason we need strength is because we
lose strength and muscle mass after the age of 25 or so. My
personal belief is that we need to do everything we can to
prevent this from happening, otherwise our health and functional
performance will deteriorate over time. Here’s a name for you.
Jack understood the concept to stay strong, muscular, mobile,
and healthy for as long as humanely possible, until he passed at
the age of 96. Strength isn’t the only physical quality we need,
though. There are many other important qualities such as: -
endurance and conditioning - flexibility and mobility -

Student’s Union was a London based group, which existed from
1925 to 1966. The W.A.S.U was born out of a very prosaic need:
the need for bed and breakfast. Landladies in the 1920s were not
partial to black lodgers so the W.A.S.U’s hostel, founded in
1933, served as a shelter for African students seeking lodging
in a hostile city. Yet, the W.A.S.U’s founder, Chief Ladipọ
Ṣolankẹ, also had a vision of the Union as a centre for debate
and discussion, a place where student could eat good African
home cooking as well as meet with the black icons like Paul
Robeson, who was a W.A.S.U patron; a place where these students
would begin to think of themselves as future leaders. It wasn’t
long before Whitehall began to take note. For as independence
movements developed on the African continent, the question
arose: who would rule when the British had departed? Who else

ConvoFS is the oldest project -- it is a "convolving

September of this year. William Curtis Squires was from Broad
Cove North (Bay de Verde District). He married Harriet Parsons
from Bears Cove, Harbour Grace. They had at least three
children: Robert Arthur(b.1875 and d.1900 in St. John's), Allan
Parsons(b.1877) and Charles Gregory(b.1880). All were baptised
in the Methodist Church in Harbour Grace. The family lived in
Bears Cove, Harbour Grace. William was the son of Gregory
Squires(b.1821) Broad Cove North. When Harriet died Nov 28 1890,
she was described as the wife of the late William Squires so I
know that William died some time before Nov 28 1890. Harriet's
funeral was held at the residence of Alex Squires who also lived
in Bears Cove in 1890. Could Alex Squires be related to William?

These fanciful treats were fun to make, if a little time

Santas. The recipe can be suitable for those who are gluten-

free chocolate to make tiny drops for the eyes. By using light
cream-cheese instead of whipped cream, the recipe is slightly
healthier. The cream-cheese has the added advantage of being
firmer in consistency than whipped cream, so it holds in place.
But, if constructing this recipe quickly, fresh whipped cream
can be used, (canned whipped cream is not advisable) and the
whipped cream will hold its shape long enough, if they are going
to be consumed soon after making. Otherwise they may melt and
red strawberry juice may leach out into the white cream. This

fight it like an enemy. Residential and commercial structure
fires have been fought by firefighters since the dawn of the
bucket brigade. The science behind sizing up a structure fire
and devising an attack plan is cookie cutter to most modern fire
departments. In the case of a fire in a high-rise building, the
factors that surround the situation present an immediate danger
to life and health for a few reasons that differ from
residential firefighting. Building construction plays a big role
in how the fire evolves because of available flow paths and open
corridors. Stairwells and elevators act as chimneys that vent
the fire, allowing hot toxic gasses to build, off gas, and
ultimately flash on higher levels of the building. The lack of
egress poses a major difference in high-rise fires compared to
residential fires. The lack of ability to simply get out fast

white patches that are itchy and painful. If the skin tears,
bright red or purple spots may appear. Doctors don't know the
exact cause of this problem. But genetics, autoimmune diseases,

not caused by an infection and is not contagious. Anyone can get
lichen sclerosus, but women who have gone through menopause are
more likely to get it. This skin problem can affect any part of
the body. But in most cases, it occurs on the skin of the anus

around the vagina), and the tip of the penis in men who haven't
been circumcised. If these skin patches are on the anus, vulva,

tiles: An electrostatic dust mop, such as a Swiffer, will attack
and capture the hair instantly. You can even use a microfibre
cloth wrapped around your regular mop to achieve that
electrostatic power. Make sure to keep the head dry, and run the
mop slowly over the floors working in a “w” motion so as not to
miss a spot. - Removing pet hair from carpets: Dust some baking
soda over the carpets prior to vacuuming to loosen the hair from
the carpet fibres. This also |

before and during the landing? MASCOT will begin its main and
also final mission phase on 3 October 2018. Early in the
morning, at 03:58:15 local time, MASCOT will separate from
Hayabusa2 and land on the surface of Ryugu a few minutes later.
It will already begin to conduct scientific measurements before
starting its descent, and will continue doing so after landing,
right up until its battery runs out. Standing on the surface,
MASCOT will observe its surroundings and carry out various
measuring sequences, depending on whether it is night or day at
the landing site at the time. A day on Ryugu is only 7:38 hours,
meaning that MASCOT will land in the early afternoon, local
asteroid time.##markend## In order for MASCOT to be able to
carry out its scientific measurements, the MASCOT Operations
Team has undertaken many months of intensive preparations at the
control centre in Cologne. The requests and inputs of the

migrants included 12 new blackcaps at the Obs. Having just
ticked Little Green Bee-eater down to 3 meters, we found 3 male
blackcaps in one bush! The area also held 79 chiffchaffs, 14
Blackcaps, 3 Whitethroats and 3 Wheatears. Spring migrants were
represented by 2 chiffchaffs and a surprising 5 Blackcaps.
Woodpigeons, starlings, resident and migrant thrushes and newly

6.599819 | 1.108983 | -1 | There is every reason why the strange and unsettling fate of
Joseph K, the central character of Franz Kafka’s novel, should
provide fertile material for Philip Glass. His unmistakable
musical style is well suited to the episodic nature of the story
and to underscoring the tension and unease that permeates the
tale of the downfall of Joseph K. And to persuade Christopher
Hampton to provide the libretto ought to have sealed the deal.
But, despite all these strengths, the opera never quite works.
Kafka, who was born in Prague, began the novel in 1914. Like all
great works, it has been claimed by a number of cultural and
political causes but it has always eluded easy categorisation.
Glass has said that he thinks the story is highly comic but,
even if that is the key to his reading of the tale, it is only
partly true – it is perverse to ignore the underlying tide of
paranoia that leads to the downfall of Joseph K. Music Theatre
Wales has had a long association with Philip Glass and this

10.521434 | 6.283489 | 21 | Fallone di Gravina Place of Origin Fallone of Gravina cheese
takes its name from the word "fallone" which means empty, and
refers to the fact that can not be stored and therefore must be
consumed immediately. The Fallone di Gravina is a fresh cheese,
with no rind, delicate, soft, white, compact and with a
distinctive flavour. It must be consumed in one day because it
uses raw milk instead of pasteurized milk. The preparation of
the Fallone di Gravina consists in adding to the sheep's milk,
used for its preparation, 15% of goat milk. This is done to give
the cheese a spicier flavour. Once produced, the cheese is
inserted in container that are then immersed in brine for 15
minutes. It is a table cheese but it can also be used as a
seasoning for various recipes. Fallone di Gravina pairs well
with Martina Bianco DOP or Ostuni Bianco DOP. |
8.162751 | 7.712681 | 80 | It is important to remember that liposuction is a contouring
operation, not an operation performed for weight loss.
Nonetheless, patients naturally want to know how much fat was
removed during their liposuction procedure, and they frequently
want to know how much that fat weighs. Prior to aspirating the
fat, a wetting solution (also called tumescent fluid) is infused
in the areas that are going to be treated. This wetting solution
typically consists of IV fluid, lidocaine, epinephrine. The
purpose of tumescent fluid is to provide some pain relief,
reduce blood loss, and allow the fat to be aspirated more
easily. Different surgeons will elect to infuse different
volumes of this wetting solution prior to performing the
liposuction. The aspirate that is removed during suctioning
consists of a mixture of both fat and fluid. With time, the
aspirate will separate into a fat layer on the top (because fat
is less dense than water) and a fluid layer on the bottom. The
fat layer consists of particulate fat and a small |
10.511518 | 8.186786 | 1 | Cuban experts in masculinities are pinning this problem as one
of the reasons why men account for the majority of fatalities
across the world, as a result of the pandemic. HAVANA TIMES –
Reasons are still being investigated worldwide, but experts who
study masculinities in Cuba claim that a patriarchal culture,
traditional gender norms and stereotypes and, as a result,
machismo, increase risks for men more than for women during the
COVID-19 pandemic. While women take on the responsibility of
caring for others more, and make up 70% of medical personnel
worldwide (according to the World Health Organization), men
don’t look after themselves as much and continue to do the
things which lead to an excess in male deaths, under normal
circumstances. Coronavirus kills more men While official
statistics about Coronavirus infections and death rates broken
down by sex are pratically non-existent, data compiled from
global media indicate that more men are dying than women. In
Italy, the death rate amongst men is around 70 |

nation is located, but here’s a lesser known fact: South Africa
is the only nation in the world to have three official capitals
which are Pretoria, Bloemfontein and Cape Town. The nation is
home to many valuable crystals and minerals, it was once the
world’s largest gold producer, and is today the largest producer
of platinum. South Africa is home to the great Nelson Mandela,
who helped topple the white minority ruled apartheid system. The
nation is known to be the “Rainbow Nation” due to its diverse
population. Springbok is national animal of South Africa,

T.| The unexpected experience of social isolation and loneliness
for new mothers is a growing issue in caring for postnatal women
in the UK. Inadequate support as a result of fragmented
communities and extended family can leave women at risk of poor
mental health with a lasting impact the woman and her family.
Mums Circle is a student innovation in midwifery practice which
promotes woman-centredness by enabling new mothers to meet, make
friends and build a sustainable network of support in their
local area. A year on, Mums Circle has had huge success and
women are self-sustaining a growing, local community for
