"Cosmogony is a term which admits some ambiguity or, at least, flexibility. One dictionary definition states 'a theory of the creation of the Universe' while another, more parochially, says 'a theory of the world's origin and growth'. A large collection of definitions fall between these two extremes but the most common feature they possess is the phrase 'origin of the solar system'."
"The purpose of any cosmogonic theory is to seek out ideally simple conditions which could have initiated the world and from which, by the play of recognized forces, that world, in all its complexity, may be resulted."
Heliogony then is "any cosmogonic theory [that seeks out] ideally simple conditions which could have initiated the" Sun or Helios.
"The German philosopher Kant was the first to conceive the idea that the Sun originated as a condensation from a nebula, and the same idea in a more elaborate and refined form was later put forward by Laplace (1796)."
An "initially spherical and contracting nebula would spin faster as it collapsed. At a certain critical stage it would have a lenticular shape with equatorial material in orbit around a central mass. Any further contraction would leave a disk of freely rotating material in the equatorial plane. In fact Laplace postulated that the evolution of the disk would be discontinuous and that the material would be shed in a series of discrete rings. Condensation in the rings would gradually merge with each other so that each ring would be the originator of a single planet."
The apparent "outstanding failure of this early nebula theory was in explaining the distribution of angular momentum in the solar system. The planets, with 0.13 per cent of the mass of the system, account for about 99.5 per cent of its angular momentum and no spontaneous way of so partitioning mass and angular momentum seems possible."
Another interpretation is that the Solar System did not form this way.
The "rotation axis of the Sun [is] 7° from that of the system as a whole. It seems very unlikely on the basis of the solar-nebula model that the rotation axis of the central body could be so different from that of the disk, or that the orbits of planets derived from the disk could, systematically, be so much out of its plane."
Perhaps the system as a whole did not form with the Sun.
"If the pre-existence of the Sun, with more or less its present rotational characteristics, may be assumed and the [captured material is expected to flatten into a disk-like form] then the angular-momentum problem does not arise with the accretion theory."
"In the floccule theory [...] the process of planetary formation is directly linked to the process by which a whole cluster of stars is formed."
"When floccules collide, they combine, and at intervals throughout the cloud large aggregations of floccules will form and produce a star. [...] By the very nature of the process the star being formed will have little angular momentum since any floccule hitting it must have moved on a path intersecting its surface."
A "collapsing planet will first go through the stages of collapsing and spinning faster until eventually material is lost in the equatorial plane. Eventually the protoplanet attains a density at which it is effectively incompressible [...] Thereafter it will disrupt into two [unequal] main parts [...] Much of the angular momentum of the system is now associated with the motion of the two parts around each other while the individual parts themselves have less than critical rotational speed for further disruption."
For "capture-theory models [...] the initial motion of a newly formed protoplanet is away from the Sun. Recent calculations show that a protoplanet would collapse to become a condensed object in 200-300 yr and it must survive only one perihelion passage [...] The collapse of a protoplanet [with a tidal bulge and no longer axisymmetric] will lead to a filament of matter being left behind as the main bulk forms a central body. Within such a filament protosatellite condensations may form; the characteristics of the major satellite families are well explained by this type of mechanism."
"Using ESO’s very successful HARPS spectrograph, a team of astronomers has found that Sun-like stars which host planets have destroyed their lithium much more efficiently than planet-free stars. This finding does not only shed light on the low levels of this chemical element in the Sun, solving a long-standing mystery, but also provides astronomers with a very efficient way to pick out the stars most likely to host planets. It is not clear what causes the lithium to be destroyed. The general idea is that the planets or the presence of the protoplanetary disc disturb the interior of the star, bringing the lithium deeper down into the star than usual, into regions where the temperature is so hot that it is destroyed."
"An orbital pole is either end of an imaginary line running through the center of an orbit perpendicular to the orbital plane, projected onto the celestial sphere. It is similar in concept to a celestial pole but based on the planet's orbit instead of the planet's rotation."
"The north orbital pole of a celestial body is defined by the right-hand rule: If you curve the fingers of your right hand along the direction of orbital motion, with your thumb extended parallel to the orbital axis, the direction your thumb points is defined to be north."
At right is a snapshot of the planetary orbital poles. The field of view is about 30°. The yellow dot in the centre is the Sun's North pole. Off to the side, the orange dot is Jupiter's orbital pole. Clustered around it are the other planets: Mercury in pale blue (closer to the Sun than to Jupiter), "Venus in green, [the] Earth in blue, Mars in red, Saturn in violet, Uranus in grey [partly underneath Earth] and Neptune in lavender. Dwarf planet Pluto is the dotless cross off in Cepheus."
The orbital poles for the planets now in orbit around the Sun suggest that the Earth and Uranus may have a common origin. The other gas giants may have an associated origin not directly related to the origin of the Sun.
The Sun and the entity early-on named Helios are not the same.
The Sun may have captured a much smaller star to form a binary using a nearby star.
Those objects in the plane of the Sun's equator formed with the Sun.

As his people we are more than recipients of this generosity. We are invited to be imitators of such generosity, to experience the joy of giving away all that we have. Just like Jesus. In this series we will examine four areas of life where “generous living” is incredibly difficult and desperately needed, yet done first, best, and for all by Jesus Christ.

Enterprise-class networks today are facing more advanced threats from a multitude of sources than ever before. Effective threat protection solutions must defend against real-world threats that are evolving quickly, and at the same time deliver high levels of performance and availability. IBM commissioned Tolly to evaluate their protocol-based IBM Security Network Intrusion Prevention System GX7800 and compare its efficacy to that of a Snort-based device, a signature- based platform.
Tolly engineers conducted many different performance tests with the GX7800 and achieved a maximum of 35.7 Gbps throughput under mixed traffic loads. This demonstrates a great tolerance for network surges, growth and capacity over IBM's published performance characteristics. Tolly also evaluated the GX7800’s efficacy and functionality.
Tests showed the GX7800 to be more effective blocking publicly-available exploits than Snort and dramatically more effective when blocking mutated exploits - blocking 100% compared to 52% for Snort.

text: This liner is a cooperation between MYFIT and USD, one of the leading skating brands for urban aggressive skates. This specially designed walkable liner will be featured in the new USD SHADOW skate. The concept is easy: combine the best of a liner and a shoe to create a fully functional walkable liner, which performs in as well as out of the skate. The Eclipse Crossliner is made to perform using only the best materials and components. The boot outside is made of high abrasion nylon including welded on TPU for extra protection and reinforcement. The boot comes with two separate laces – the lower part gets laced by high end waxed laces locking your foot perfectly. A fast lacing system on top optimizes the heel lock and enhances control. The abrasion resistant rubber outsole covered with thick EVA foam acts like a shock absorber. It absorbs shocks, gives extra cushion, controls impact and is really comfortable to walk on, too. Like other liners, the MYFIT series carry all the usual specs like anatomical ankle padding, and a well-defined Achilles padding to give the perfect heel lock and eliminate any movement. The liner includes the MYFIT skate sole for extra support and control. The tongue is nicely padded and wraps around your shin perfectly giving comfort and providing front flex. The rear has a nice and low V cut with soft SBR material and reinforced carry strap. Welcome to the best of both worlds, liner and shoe in one with a cool and urban look.

As many of you will know when the calendar rolled past June 6 2016, the Holy Month of Ramadan started. As we celebrate this important month here in the Emirates, it made me wonder: what do people outside of this culture, country and region know about this time of the year?
Well, I thought people may find it interesting to hear my experience of Ramadan to garner a little insight into life here in the Emirates for a non-Muslim during the Holy Month. This is not meant to be a religious description. I am neither qualified to comment, nor is immaclife a source of theological reference. No; rather this just meant to be a little snapshot of life and of my experience during this important month.
First, a little background of what Ramadan is. The UAE is a Muslim country. During the 30 days starting 6 June (which changes each year based on the Lunar calendar), those observing Ramadan will refrain from consuming any food and drink during daylight hours. The fast is broken each day at the stroke of sunset with the Iftar meal. Ramadan concludes after 30 days with the three day Eid Al Fitr holiday, which is a time of celebration.
We decided out of respect for the culture in which we live we would also fast as a family, for one day. My son choose Sunday as our day to fast. This meant waking at around 3.45am for a pre-dawn semiconscious family bite to eat and a splash of water. We then woke again at the usual 6am time to start our day, sans food and water. And I am pleased to report that we made it through the fast, a little weary, very hungry but in excellent spirits....and that is all while having had 3 clients personal training at the gym, a day at school and a full day at the office; that's obvio all 3 of us by the way.
It is an interesting thing, the fast. The absence of food over a prolonged period makes you reflect on the lot of those who do not have any, and to be grateful for what we have. And that is a very good thing.
One of the many lovely things about Ramadan here in the Emirates is that the hotels offer amazing Iftar meals during Ramadan. On Sunday night we enjoyed a family Iftar at the Ritz-Carlton here in Abu Dhabi. The atmosphere was serene, the hotel beautiful and the food excellent.
So, what does it mean for us? Ramadan for us is a time of family and reflection. The country quietens for the month. The usual events and occasions pause. With that pause is a great opportunity for us to spend time together as a family. To reflect and to enjoy the best of the wonderful cultures that we share in this place we call home.
Ramadan Kareem (generous Ramadan, in English) to all.

Very pleased to announce that our QEPTR project has seen approval from Apple and is now live on the App Store. Place Video Stories on any Barcode / QR Code.
With the App, we want to animate sustainable companies in particular to provide deeper insights into the cultivation and production of their products. QEPTR creates this insight directly on the product itself, you do not have to adapt the packaging in any way!
How it works? We use the existing EAN product code and allow Videos to be placed directly on it. And the App allows users to place an answer as well. This results in informative and exciting Video Stories directly on the packaging!
The published version includes the ability to easily add existing YouTube videos to the packaging using the URL / Video ID.
Or Healthy New Year, as our neighborhood likes to state it. In any way, best wishes, joy and peace to the world.
Did we light up fireworks? 💥 No, we did not. We even spared a Christmas tree 🎄 this year. Why that? We put all our efforts into a small campaign on Kickstarter 💚 that is ending in less than a week.
What’s it about? We want to enable more people to perform breathing exercise for free and hereby make life a tiny bit healthier than before. And – of course – we kindly ask you to check it out http://kck.st/2CpPGf3.
If you like the idea and campaign, we appreciate any form of support, from fingers crossed to sharing and actual pledging – thank you!
Besides – what will happen this year? We are currently arranging something for a client in Japan, we have pitched a concept for an App end of 2018 and are optimistic to make it happen in q1/q2. In q1 we will also see the release of QEPTR for iOS. And, while the Kickstarter campaign for Breathe2 is still running, we have already plans to launch a new campaign for something totally off topic on Kickstarter or a different crowdfunding platform sometime in 2019.
Want to work with us? There are limited resources still available and we are always able to scale via external partners. So if there is anything, from business process transformation to a rather trivial sounding App – you’re welcome. Cheers from Berlin, the team of what about kate.
Happy New Year by ABBA on VEVO.

At Exind, we not only offer the best in home furnishing fabrics, we inculcate a sense of responsibility in everything we do. Our objective is not to take but to give back. Taking a conscientious approach, we ensure humane standards for all involved, particularly the weavers themselves, as well as high eco-friendly standards when it comes to our products. It is this sustainability that forms the backbone of our entire operations and is the key reason why we are a preferred provider in the industry.
Seated amidst rows of over a hundred handlooms and surrounded by the repetitive sounds of countless shuttles, Kunnikannan lets his talent do the talking. A handloom weaver for the past 58 years, the perseverance and dedication to his craft can be seen as he as he spins the yarn; then intersects the thread on the loom, working his hands and legs to keep the shuttle going back and forth to produce a fabric so fine, it just slips through your fingers.
The expression on his face though, is one of concern. Not for his own well-being, but for the art of handloom weaving. Once a profitable industry in his hometown of Cannanore, Kerala, it has today turned into a poor person’s trade. One which the next generation wants no part of. With the advent of powerloom production, handloom weavers like Kunni see their livelihood, and more importantly, their tradition being threatened.
That’s where we come in. Together with Exind, Kunni and several other hand-weavers and suppliers have understood the value of consistent quality and its importance in sustaining interest in handloom cotton fabrics.
Working closely with several skilled weavers like Kunni in Cannanore, Exind plays a contributing role in reviving this fading craft. We partner with local co-operative societies who train women and interested individuals in the art of hand-weaving, providing employment opportunities as well. Through these efforts, we hope to sustain the handloom heritage of Cannanore as well as support the ageing weaver community.
Our natural fibre products sourced through a firm partnership ensures we not only offer environment friendly products to enhance your standard of living, but also enhance the standard of living of people who make these products. We collectively build skills of rural unorganized workers and empower young women, who are employed aftersuccessful training in artisan skills.
When it comes to choosing fabric suppliers, we are very particular who we partner with. Apart from ensuring proper working conditions and livelihood benefits for weavers, we expect eco-sensitivity, from the materials used to setting up effective waste management practices.
The use of organic yarn and GAT environmentally-certified dyes ensure the fabric produced is purely all-natural. The waste water produced during this process, particularly during the dyeing stage, is chemically treated to convert impurities into solid waste, which is disposed of through an initiative by the Kerala government. The purified water is re-used for agricultural purposes. Our production centers ensure that almost nothing goes to waste, while maintaining hygienic working conditions without affecting surrounding areas and residents.

In the US, every year more than 150,000 children are born with birth defects. These defects include autism, learning and attention disorders, intellectual abnormality and some of these birth defects cause lifetime disabilities whereas other are life threatning. If birth defect is your legal concern in Center Point, Alabama you need to get legal aid to prove your case in court.
However, there is no such method to determine the exact cause of birth defect, in some cases it could be a result of exposure to prescription, chemical exposure, drugs, or bad medication. In other cases it may be related to complications during pregnancy. But if the child defect is a result of exposure then it demands litigation. Hence, availing services from Center Point, Alabama Birth Defect Lawyers is highly suggested here.

Beyond those generally applicable traits, you’ll find that possessing or cultivating many other skills and talents will be of immense help to you in direct sales.
It is imperative that you authentically and completely believe in the product you represent. Without that, your skills will fail to convince others, and the experience will be so lacking in satisfaction that it will all feel like hard work.
You need a clear and specific vision of what you want to achieve with your business. And you need to define, in writing, your income goals, production goals, progress up the company ranks, and what having this business will do for your life and how it will feel. You’ll hear people refer to this as your why. Having this strong why will help you overcome the challenges you will inevitably encounter.
If you’re naturally a great communicator, you’re in luck. But even if you’re not, if you’re determined, it is possible to significantly improve your communication skills and reap the benefits in your life and in your business. This includes becoming a better listener who asks questions to gain clearer understanding; a better connector, because people do business with those they know, like, and trust; and presenter, because being able to demonstrate your products or explain your opportunity with confidence is essential.
Rome wasn’t built in a day and regardless of the model you choose, gaining mastery and building your business so that it provides a steady, reliable income take time. In Network Marketing, people often give up too soon, because their small initial checks make them feel unsuccessful. In Party Plan and Hybrid, a lack of patience often leads to frustration because achieving a rhythm of parties booked and getting better at consistently running them will take time, as well. People do get better at the activities of their businesses, but there is no substitute for practice — and practice takes time.
Patience is also helpful in your interactions with customers and prospects. Statistically speaking, it takes seven exposures before someone makes a buying decision. Learning to feel calm during this process can be a great help.
The yes you’re looking for can feel like it takes a long, long time. The more you practice some detachment to the outcome and just stay the course and maintain patience, the more enjoyable your business will be.
You should have a desire to build relationships with others, including your new contacts, party guests, hosts, team members, and recruit leads. The better you are at working with others and building relationships, the farther you’ll go in any business, and the better results you’ll experience.
When you put relationships first, business follows naturally — sometimes directly, and sometimes through referrals.
In Party Plan and Hybrid, you’ll do not only product presentations, but also presentations designed to encourage others to become party hosts and team members.
The key to great presentations is to be brief. The primary reason people attend an in-person home party is to socialize with their friends — shopping while they do it is an added bonus.
And though it is true that the Network Marketing model relies on tools to make these presentations, as you build a team you’ll be called on more to present to groups. You’ll also present over the phone to your team member’s prospects. Developing solid presentation skills is valuable in that model, too.
To succeed, it helps greatly if you’re able to recognize small, tell-tale signs that someone is interested in exploring opportunities to purchase, join your team, or host a party. Often, people won’t directly ask for more information on hosting or joining the business. Instead, they may simply lean in to listen intently as you mention a benefit. Or they may ask you about how much time you spend on your business or how much money can be earned. Sometimes, the clue is as subtle as offering to help you collect your demonstration products and put them in your car, connect with you on social media, or even just sit next to you at a luncheon.
In general, when someone gives you a conversation opener, they are exhibiting interest. And, as tempting as it is to let all your enthusiasm show, you’ll find that your best results occur when you give small pieces of information in an upbeat manner and avoid overwhelming them.
More of a scheduled habit than a skill, this is crucial, nonetheless. Each month, or at least every other month, you should contact your customers and ask how you can serve them. What you’re also doing is reading their temperature. Start these conversations by asking how they’re enjoying the products they purchased. In following months, offer them products they may be interested in for themselves or for upcoming holidays. At least twice a year, offer them the opportunity to earn free or discounted products by hosting a fun party for their friends.
These periodic conversations keep you connected to your customers and provide them the opportunity to share their product testimonials with you, express interest in your income opportunity, or provide you referrals.
You don’t need to be a computer geek, but companies are turning to technological solutions more and more. Currently that means e-commerce, mobile phone apps, and leveraging social media at the corporate level — and encouraging their independent representatives to do the same. They’re using apps, running webinars, and conducting online conferences. Some companies (most often in Hybrid and Network Marketing) even boast that you can “work your business from your phone.” To keep up, you’re going to need to plug in and connect online.
Efforts to build your vision, become a better communicator, and develop a more patient personality all fall under personal development. An essential part of your job in direct sales is to improve your attitude, resilience, interpersonal skills, and leadership skills.
You’ve got to realize that, although the time spent developing these skills may not appear to have an immediate or direct impact on your business, it makes a significant difference in your experience and your results. Reading books, listening to motivational audio, and seeking out additional training will all help with your personal development.
Surrounding yourself with people you want to be like and observing them will improve your skills. Each day is new, regardless of what you did or didn’t do yesterday, and you get to start fresh.
Be persistent, be patient, help others, keep an open mind, develop a positive attitude, and you will go far!

Ready for the end of the world as we know it? The popular culture certainly is. When “Defiance” arrives Monday night on the SyFy channel and “Oblivion” hits theaters Friday, they’ll land on an already busy post-apocolypse-obsessed [sic] entertainment landscape that’s about to become even more crowded.
. . . “Ever since the finish of the second world war when we got the glimpse of the atomic bomb there’s been this sense that the world could end in the blink of an eye,” said Robert Thompson, director of the Bleier Center for Television and Popular Culture at Syracuse University. “One of the reasons it may be so resonant now is that there are so many things we hear on a daily basis that seem to say to us that the possibility of massive planetary annihilation is within the realm of think-ability.” It’s real life informs reel life and vice versa.

I think the move from theological/religious to realistic – if that distinction is real – is interesting. But the basic issue – the possibility that our world is not safe and that there are forces – whether political, technological or spiritual – that seek our demise… I think that is the real issue. People are slowly waking up to the fact that we’re pretty much adrift in a sea of danger and threat. To me, at least, that’s the interesting thing.

Amgram Ltd, Shoreham based naval architects had a rather unusual job inclining HMS Caroline. The inclining experiment is the naval architects traditional route to determining the stability of a vessel. Amgram Ltd, who mainly specialise in small craft, were delighted to be awarded the contract to incline a full battleship!
Although now decommissioned, at the time of her inclining HMS Caroline was the second oldest ship in RN service- the oldest being the Victory. Launched and commissioned in 1914, she was the last remaining British World War One light cruiser in service, and the last survivor of the Battle of Jutland still afloat. Until her decommissioning she acted as a static headquarters for the Royal Naval Reserve, moored in Belfast.
The inclining experiment requires the ship to be heeled by a series of known weight and deflections measured, both to port and starboard to even out errors. Generally inclining experiments are carried out in shipyards, where there is a good availability of weights, craneage and access to all engineering facilities.
In the case of HMS Caroline, effectively a dead ship, the engineers had to find calibrated weights, up to 20 tonnes and mobile cranes with sufficient outreach to lift those weights over the ship to the outboard side. Since the condition of the decks was unknown, as a precaution props were put in place to prevent any distortion. Any doubts about the structure were proved unfounded as these props proved to be completely unnecessary!
Belfast provided a calm still day perfect for inclining and Amgram engineers worked to position cranes, load weights then shift weights and record the deflections. A necessary process of inclining is to assess the condition of the ships tanks and bilges, so as a bonus the team had to go through the whole vessel, giving modern naval architects a great opportunity to inspect shipbuilding of 100 years ago.

This week we immerse ourselves in the amazing rhythms and exotic modes of North African music, where influences from Arabic music, Africa and Europe have created fascinating hybrids for centuries.
The program is a memorial to the much-loved Nubian master musician HAMZA EL DIN, who passed away this week after a lifetime of service to music, leaving hundreds of thousands of devoted fans -- a great man.
We begin with one of his compositions, then journey wide and deep with selections by the Bay Area fusion group STELLAMARA, French World/Ambient duo RAJNA, DEAD CAN DANCE and LA's multi-cultural YUVAL RON ENSEMBLE. Later, authentic Armenian and Persian contemplative gems from DJIVAN GASPARYAN and HOSSEAN ALIZADEH, and several gorgeous pieces by Tunisian oud master ANOUAR BRAHEM and his French trio.
It has taken far, FAR longer than we would have liked, but we are finally fully Firefox compatible on both the Windows and Mac platforms.
Fine print: We require Firefox 1.5 or later, we can't support Windows NT, and you must be running Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther) or 10.4 (Tiger), plus Windows Media Player for the Mac, v. 7.1.3 or later.
Most of the site will work with Firefox on Linux and Unix as well, but there is still no easy solution to running Windows Media streams on Linux/Unix, which kind of defeats the purpose of the service. Linux/Unix users can run our legacy service streams using Firefox and Real Player.
Though Firefox market share is only about 9% of web browsers, Firefox users are a very vocal, progressive minority. We're sorry it has taken so long, but 95% of the delay was out of our hands. The other 5% was rewriting our site to detect Firefox, supplying the correct code, and testing, testing, testing. Thanks to our extraordinarily patient beta testers, everything is now working smoothly. Please report any problems to help@hos.com.
May is a good time for easy, breezy spacejazz and we have just the rerun for it. This show starts with a French take on the late great BILL EVANS, then mines the lighter side of the vast ECM catalog. Music is by OREGON, JOHN SURMAN, CHARLIE HADEN and PAT METHENY, DAVID DARLING, and TERJE RYPDAL, plus a track from one of the fine Windham Hill "Summer Solstice" compilations by DAVID ARKENSTONE.
Light, cool, and oh so refreshing: ZEPHYRS.
Possibly the sole advantage of global warming is the opportunity to immerse ourselves in the music of the warm-weather cultures. This week we start with a classic Balinese/African track from ROBERT RICH's "Rainforest" and strike off into electronics and ambient sounds of nature, with selections by JAMES JOHNSON, ELVE and STEVE ROACH, plus suitably languid music by LARAAJI, PETER KATER and BRUNO SAN FILIPPO.
Grab a cold drink and join us for a globally warmed journey called FLOATING GARDENS.
Late Sunday May 7th, we had a disk failure on one of our streaming servers that caused error messages and lack of service for Eastern U.S. and European users. It has been repaired and is now working normally. We are continuing to monitor the system to verify stable operation. Please report any problems to help@hos.com. Thanks for your patience if you were one of the affected users!
This week we return to our long-running love for the sound of Indian devotional music, building a show around an extraordinary new album by RASA which provided not only the majority of the music, but the title.
TEMPLE OF LOVE also includes fine selections for sitar and bansuri flute from other stalwarts of contemporary Indian music, including ANOUSHKA SHANKAR (yes, Ravi's daughter), BEN LEINBACH, AL GROMER KHAN and STEVE GORN.

We really miss the point if we think that our major task in reading scripture is to examine the historical period in which it was written so as to have a better understanding of how life was lived in those days.
In Isaiah’s story on the vineyard and in Jesus’ story there is a common question asked: “What more was there to do for my vineyard that I have not done?” They dug the land, cleared it of stones, built a tower and a wine press and planted nothing but choice vines. In return for all of God’s effort Isaiah’s vineyard yielded wild grapes. Instead of justice there was bloodshed, in place of righteousness there was a cry. In Jesus’ story the return for his investment was nothing but violence and death brought on by greed and covetousness.
What does today’s scripture ask of each one of us? In Baptism each of us received the seed of glory, each one of us became the Lord’s vineyard. We are nourished and strengthen by the teachings and example of Jesus, nourished and strengthened by the sacraments and the bread of life we received at every Mass. The hard labor that went into us vineyards of God was the generous labour of love on God’s part when God sent His Son into the world not to condemn the world but to embrace our humanness, becoming as we all are. The Son’s labour of love was dying a painful, lonely death on the cross. What more could God have done for us, what more could Christ have done for us?
When God looks for the fruit of all God’s labor what will He discover? The sour grapes of selfishness, self indulgence, injustice, a lack of concern for those who have less, an indifference to the needs of homeless, the unemployed, the working poor? Will God find the sour, bitter grapes of sexism, prejudice and bigotry?
When God looks for the harvest of our lives will God find life giving grapes that help us hold to whatever is true, whatever is honourable, whatever is just and pure, and whatever is pleasing and commendable? The answers depend on us.
Moving beyond ourselves as individuals what does today’s scripture say about how we as the human family are living in God’s vineyard of creation? We know that all things are of God’s making, all times and seasons obey God’s love. We know God gave us the care of all creation. We know we are kin to all God’s creation. Today’s scripture asks us to evaluate the health of our relationships within that kinship. Are we producing the sour grapes of polluting the air and water, the sour grapes of diminishing the life systems of the planet, the sour grapes of exploiting but not sharing the limited resources of Earth? Are our lifestyles guided by the sour grapes of unbridled consumerism? Or are we trying to produce life giving grapes that recognize the woundedness of creation, the life giving grapes of commitment to heal the earth and live lightly upon it. Are we trying to produce life giving grapes that help us appreciate the beauty and the wonder of God’s good creation? Are we trying to produce life giving grapes that help us to live simply that others may simply life?
As we continue to celebrate this Mass we pray for ourselves and for each other that we always try to do whatever is true, whatever is honourable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is commendable so that each of us, with the help of God’s grace, will produce a life giving harvest.

Discussion in 'English Only' started by jette(DK), Jun 19, 2010.
"dance(ing) with the lady with a whole in her stocking"?
It's the headline of a chapter in a book about women with ADHD.
What ideas or connotations does the expression bring to native speakers? Research on the internet reveals that the phase has been part of several songs, e.g. Buffalo Gals, but what kind of woman is she?
Is it someone you should feel sorry for (because of the whole), or is she rather devil-may-carish (because she dances in spite of the whole) ... or?
And what might the reference to ADHD be?! (Maybe that she hasn't noticed the whole or can't find a stocking without a whole).
I've no idea jette(DK)...what you suggest about this woman with a HOLE in her stockings sounds pretty reasonable to me.
Gosh! I'm so embarassed! Of course I mean HOLE!!!
Still, it it someone you should feel sorry for or is it someone who doesn't give a damn she is not prone to conformity. Someone a bit like Pippi Longstocking?
Since the disorder exists at various levels and generally has no anti-social effects (just difficulty in sitting in a classroom and learning) I cannot guess at what the author or editor is trying to do.
With only this sentence: Dancing with the lady with a hole in her stocking.
I won't have a clue of what problem this lady might have. On the contrary, I could say that this is a very secure lady, that doesn't mind to keep enjoying herself, regardless of the hole in her stocking.
someone who doesn't give a damn she is not prone to conformity.
"The lady with the hole in her stocking" is someone who is having too much fun or moving so much and so fast that she has no time or energy to worry about appearance or convention.
I am primarily asking for help on the phrase "Dancing with the lady with a HOLE in her stocking". What image does that evoke in a native speaker?
It is a reference to a song from 1944: "Dance with a dolly with a hole in her stocking"
With a little internet searching, you should have no trouble finding it . Billy Haley, among others sang it.
I have no idea what connexion it has with ADHD, or anything else for that matter.
A woman dancing with a known hole in her stocking might feel a sense of freedom, but I rather doubt that sufferers of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) feel particularly free.
The song's title -- Help me -- might be a clue, though, and you might check out the lyrics, which I've already quoted my quota of, so I'll just say that they include falling, crazy and trouble.
Court and Spark (1974) is rated #112 in The Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
As a non-native English speaker who is familiar with ADHD, I think the headline makes sense, quite well.
In Japan, a woman in under ordinary circumstances (a woman with a common sense ) worries very much if she wears the stocking with a hole.
In Japan, when I see a woman who doesn't care about it in dancing, I think she is strange. I think something is wrong with her.
It might be a good reason to think about ADHD.
Of course, there are a lot of reasons to consider about that situation, though.
I think it is not the matter of English laungage but the culture of the country/place.
And it depends on each individual's recognition level about ADHD.
Thank you to all who helped me out on this! I have a much clearer idea of the connotations of the phase/song line now. Now I just need to figure out how to translate it to Danish!

This. Is. My. Joint! I love the original and adding Rick Ross and Big Sean to the remix only makes it better for Future’s current single.
They keep the beat the same and use Future’s original hook while Ross and Big Sean add their verses. Sean uses his flow from the bulk of his Dark Sky Paradise album while Ross name drops New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, serving as highlights from the remix.
What do you think of the remix? Who would you have liked to see on it? Tell us in the comments below.

Training Zones are used because different effort levels have different effects on the body.
2 – Endurance Develops base endurance and aerobic capacity.
Mostly fat burning and improving your ability to use oxygen.
3 – Tempo Develops your Cardio-vascular system (heart, lungs, blood).
Burns fat and improves your ability to use oxygen and expel carbon-dioxide.
Also good for improving muscular power and endurance.
Sweet-Spot Although it’s not often recognised as a specific zone, this is an increasingly popular effort level to train in as it gives good results. It’s consists of upper Tempo and lower Threshold.
4 – Threshold Improves your Lactic Acid system where you work close to your Anaerobic Threshold. In addition to burning fat you’ll use your Glycogen stores (carbohydrates) in your muscles. This is where Lactic Acid is produced and your leg muscles will start to ache and breathing becomes heavy.
5 – VO2 Max Increases muscle and heart and lung capacity to absorb oxygen.
6 – Anaerobic capacity Improves your ability to tolerate Lactic Acid removing it from the muscles and re-cycling it.
It’s worth noting that the ‘Zones’ fade into one another. In other words the body doesn’t suddenly change from Tempo to Threshold. In this respect when you’re aiming for a specific Zone try to maintain a heart-rate or power output in the middle of the range.
Perceived Effort based on feelings and sensations.
Feel is based on your sensations and if you’re just getting into cycling it’s difficult to accurately assess how hard you are working. Another problem is that it’s not possible to measure how hard you training workout was.
Heart-Rate is reactive which means that it reacts to the amount of effort you are doing. The problem with using heart-rate for training is that there’s a delay between you changing your effort level and your heart-rate. This can take a few minutes, so if you’re doing short intervals it’s pretty pointless using higher heart-rate zones.
This is where Power becomes useful.
Power is a combination of how hard you pedal (Force) and how fast you pedal (Cadence). A power meter will tell you how hard you are working at that moment and gives you more-or-less instant feedback so it’s very useful for doing intervals lasting a few minutes.
The problem is that Power meters are quite an expensive bit of kit but some turbo trainers and indoor bikes have power indicators. These may not be totally accurate but they’re usually quite consistent and serve the purpose.
At the end of the day it’s worth using all three – if you can. Otherwise use heart-rate for Endurance, Tempo and Threshold intervals of over say 3 minutes and feel for the shorter high intensity intervals.
To keep things simple we use six levels of intensity, which is also used by British Cycling as well as the power training gurus Hunter Allen and Andrew Coggan (see Training and racing with a Power Meter by Allen and Coggan).

At recent PSC meetings, members have expressed anger and concern about the delay in receiving retroactive pay and being placed on the new salary schedules. Some even question whether the funding for the contract is assured and whether we will receive the pay increases in January, as scheduled. I want to acknowledge your frustration that it has taken so long for CUNY, the State and the City to deliver the pay increase that we fought for and won in our contract. Six months of delay after six years of waiting is not acceptable.
But as PSC Treasurer I can assure you that funding for the retroactive pay is secure and that payment at the new, higher salary rates is in process. The PSC has pressed CUNY management from the day the contract was ratified to take a more proactive approach to expediting payment, and the union has also worked directly with the New York State and City Comptrollers to ensure that payments will be made in January.
I am writing now to share the information that we have on the status of our pay increases.
