In the context of recent events in the Orthodox world, disputes over the boundaries of church institutions often arise between the Patriarchate of Constantinople, Kyiv and Moscow. Ukraine accuses Russia of misappropriating the territory of the Kyiv Metropolis. In its turn, Moscow appeals to the fact that the ancient Kyiv Metropolis differs from the territory of modern Ukraine. RISU decided to clarify this topic, getting advice from historians.
The history of the Orthodox Church in certain areas of modern Ukraine begins with the era of the Ecumenical Councils. In particular, in Crimea and in Southern Bessarabia, Eastern Christianity dates back to the 3rd – 4th centuries. AD. The church center from which Christianity spread to the Ukrainian lands was Constantinople.
In the 10th century, the Kyiv Metropolis appeared. It exists as part of the Patriarchate of Constantinople until 1686, when the right to ordain the Metropolitan of Kyiv was temporarily transferred to the Moscow Patriarch. In practice, this de facto led to the transition from the jurisdiction of Constantinople to Moscow. By the decision of the Synod of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of October 15, 2018, this act was repealed. However, the Kyiv Metropolis in the 17th century did not cover the entire territory of Ukraine and a significant part of the territory was outside the jurisdiction of Moscow.
The real power of the Russian Orthodox Church over Volyn, Podillia and Right-Bank Ukraine began only with the liquidation of the Rzeczpospolita and after the inclusion of these territories into the Russian Empire.
Central and Southern Ukraine became part of the Russian Church only with the liquidation of the Zaporizhia Sich and the formation of a new church entity – the Slavic-Kherson diocese. The territory of Crimea and the Northern Black Sea almost to the end of the 18th century was part of the Patriarchate of Constantinople. It was only in 1786, after the death of Metropolitan Ignatius, who was a Crimean Greek, that the Synodal Church seized these territories.
After the conquest of Southern Bessarabia by the Russian Empire, this territory was subordinated to the Russian Church, and as a result, several years later, the Metropolia of Braila of the Patriarchate of Constantinople was virtually eliminated. It had previously operated in these territories for several centuries.
In 1940, as a result of the Prut campaign, the USSR urged the Romanian Kingdom to give up Northern Bukovyna, and this territory became part of the Russian Church, although in the past it was part of the Kyiv Metropolis, the Karlovtsy Autocephalous Church and the Romanian Orthodox Church.
After the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact of 1939 and the division of the Second Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, the territory of Western Ukraine falls under the authority of the USSR. The Moscow Patriarchate extends its jurisdiction to the newly acquired territories. In 1946, the Soviet government initiates a so-called Council of Lviv, which resulted in forcible transfer of the Greek Catholics under the jurisdiction of the Russian Orthodox Church.
In Transcarpathian region, the Greek Catholic diocese was fully destroyed in 1949. Although previously, the territory of the region was canonically part of the Patriarchate of Constantinople, the Serbian and Czechoslovak Churches.
So, the territory of modern Ukraine has historically been under the jurisdiction of the Patriarchate of Constantinople (and separate territories in other churches), but later with the arrival of the Russian army and the establishment of the political power of Moscow or St. Petersburg, the seizure of church lands and their transfer from the authority of other Local Churches to the Russian Orthodox Church proceeded simultaneously.

After the winter weather hoopla last night, temperatures are quite cold this morning, in the mid 20s. We should warm into the low 40s under mostly sunny skies thanks to high pressure moving in from the north of the region. Lows tonight will drop back into the low 30s.
Warmer conditions are expected Tuesday as upper level ridging moves into the region. Highs will top out around 53° under partly cloudy skies once again. Quite the nice day actually! Light showers will move into the region Tuesday night as lows drop into the mid 40s.
A really warm Valentine’s Day is forecast now, thanks to southerly flow. Temperatures should warm into the low 60s! However, that southerly flow will also bring rain with it, so be sure to take the umbrella with you if you’re heading out for Valentine’s Day.
That should wrap up this short forecast. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day!

this weekend we head up to Mendocino to meet w/the winery where we are producing our pinot. this may be the first tangible step in this whole thing (though being told we've got grapes is HUGE!); that is seeing where we'll be making it, discussing approach, sampling some earlier efforts from the same vineyard, touring a couple of the other producers up and down the street and just getting in the car and driving to where the grapes are.
We've discussed approach on both wines - though not nailed the door shut for change in approach brought on by what the weather brings, outsider (and hopefully even sage) advice and/or our own waffling. the great thing about starting off with an abstract of what you want to do is that it can start shaping into something pleasing which you never attended.
Pinot: We've both find ourselves leaning towards a slightly more "classic" approach to pinot. WTF does that mean? Well... you want to see your hand on the other side of the glass, more of a classic brick red than a dark black-red, we want acid, not too much but enough to fill in the gaps with a meal, we want a little more fruit than our fine brothers and sister in France generally pull off (after all we are in California!) but no strawberry jam, more of a tart cranberry, under-ripe raspberry, it'd be great to have some nice herbal quality and a little bit of bramble and hey maybe a little bit of earth. It'd also be great to have some tannins, not too much but just so it can stand up on it's own a little. what else...???
Syrah: No syrup please, and let's not get drunk before we finish our first glass. Syrah is best when it tastes and smells like syrah. Some dark cherry but not too sweet, some white pepper and some green pepper, earth and a little hint of funk. Mild tannins and mild acidity, this should be something you can drink on it's own, with a summer meal (think burgers and fries) and if all is right is reserved enough that you can drink w/grilled salmon. Color - again it's been a trend to make overly inky syrahs, while color is good it's nice to get a little light through it but think 2 steps darker than the pinot.
Note from editor: this is all subject to change, either from Dan, me or an act of god!
And 'cause we all like photos!
Follow the twists and turns as two wine addicts join forces setting out to make the wines they want to drink.

A service of worship is a religious meeting where people of a church come together, usually in a cathedral or church building, in order to worship God. It may also be called a church service or prayer service or just service. It is the usual term used in the Christian religion for such a meeting. The term is also used sometimes in Judaism, although prayer service or just service are more common.
In the Protestant church services are usually led by a pastor, although sometimes they may be led by laymen (people who are not priests).
In the Christian churches services are normally held on Sundays, although there may be services on other days as well, especially in large churches or cathedrals.
Services often include Holy Communion or Eucharist. Matins is a morning service which does not include communion. An evening service is called Evensong.
Church services are also held for weddings, funerals, or other special occasions.
Services may include prayers, singing, sermons (preaching) and readings from the Bible.
The Shema. The Shema includes three paragraphs from the Torah: Deuteronomy 6:4-9, Deuteronomy 11:13-21, and Numbers 15:37-41. These three paragraphs include the most basic ideas about Judaism, God, and God's relationship with the Jewish people.
The text of the Shema says it should be said "when you go to bed" and "when you wake up". Because of this, Shema is said at the morning and evening prayer services, but not the afternoon service.
Jewish prayer services are held whenever the Amidah prayer is said. In the morning and evening, they also include Shema.
A Communion Sunday service at a United Methodist church in the United States.
A sermon, or homily, is an element of a church service.

The mere thought of exercising, especially Pilates, sends many of us to a corner to change the subject. We know that it is something we should do, yet it seems like it could be hard work, painful, boring or all three of the above. Isn’t it sad that by some estimation 95% of us do not get the amount of exercise we should get?
A whole dissertation could describe our inability to engage here and the reasons behind it, but many people may not know about the fun options available to them. Take Pilates. Contrary to popular belief this is a well-established exercise system created in the 1920s and not some kind of modern-day invention.
Joseph Pilates invented the principal to help soldiers rehabilitate when they were returning from war. It was a hit and emerged into the mainstream to become more accepted as a fun and inspiring way to work out.
The approach involves a system that focuses on three tenets. If you want to build bulk, though you need to look for alternative methods as here you will focus on strength, flexibility and awareness of your body.
You may find certain aerobic exercises on a treadmill to be rather boring or just don’t feel you want to get involved in the intricacies of weightlifting. Pilates may be right for you. If you like, it falls into the middle somewhat and can be more like resistance training.
You can use Pilates exercise apparatus or you can work on the floor by using a mat and there are several exercise machines, all of which are spring resistant.
One of the focal points of attention here and something you will hear an instructor refer to often is core training. You are building up your core muscle strength (abdomen, pelvis and hips) and helping to align your spine.
As you exercise, you need to focus your mind on these muscle areas and breathe in tandem with the movements.
Quality is very important here and not quantity. You must focus on contracting the proper muscles at the right time and early adopters of the system must listen to the instructor as they learn what it is all about.
Joseph Pilates coined the term “contrology.” He came up with 34 exercises based on the principles of contrology–a coordination of mind, body and spirit. Since he came up with these exercises several alternatives and modifications have been proposed. Today, many people swear by this system of training and how it has strengthened their posture, corrected imbalances, provided flexibility, eased movement and trained their core.
Experts say if you focus on your individual posture you will encounter far fewer health problems in the long term. Bad posture also suggests a lack of focus, discipline, self confidence and other social signals that many people want to adjust for obvious reasons. They have shown that Pilates improves postural problems for participants.
Another reason people turn to this solution is to help them with imbalance, and general coordination. It can also help to improve circulation and as we know that can help to ward off many debilitating injuries and diseases as we get older in life.
In core training this can increase muscle activity and therefore make muscle performance far more effective. In particular, expect to see some beneficial advances in and around the abs, the obliques and quads. Over time, you can expect increased mobility and flexibility due to resistance and repetition.
It’s also clear that people who want to improve performance at various sports enjoy core training and this approach. You can improve athletic performance through an increase in power, flexibility and strength and augment specific exercises relevant to the actual movement required in the nominated sport.
Today, Pilates comes in many shapes and forms. Many people engage with a like-minded group and enjoy a tremendous amount of spirit and energy when several people focus and are being pushed by the instructor. However, you can always begin by working with a simple mat.
It’s very important to focus on your breathing and to coordinate your breathing with the relevant contractions and expansions. Focus on strengthening, tightening and loosening muscles in a coordinated fashion and always focus your mind on the area you are working out. They have proven that a focused mind can yield amazing dividends and through the power of positive thinking you can inject extra value into your workouts.
While you can feel your way into this core training in the privacy of your own home, if you want to, it’s advisable to seek a qualified, professional instructor to help you make the most. A good instructor will help to assess your posture and see whether you are moving correctly at all times. The instructor will assess your current level of fitness and build an appropriate program for you. There’s also a danger you will go too quickly, use an incorrect range of motion or face difficulties with the actual movements themselves. This is where the instructor can step in and put you back on the right track.
In certain parts of society this solution has reached an almost cultlike status. Those who engage, swear by its benefits. Don’t you owe it to yourself to check out this form of exercise and to take your long-term health into consideration?

text: Clare Ring initially describes an autograph book kept by Tim Ring during his detention at Frongoch in Wales in 1916, and she reads some of the Kerry names written therein. Tim Ring never spoke about his experiences at that time, and Diarmuid explains why he thinks this was so. Clare reads from four lists compiled by the RIC of materials found in Tim Ring’s accommodation which were to form evidence for his arrest. Under the Defence of the Realm Act, his detention could be extended without evidence or a trial. He was held in Tralee Barracks for a month and taken to Kilmainham Gaol. He was a Class B prisoner in Frongoch Camp. Diarmuid explains that the authorities moved the German prisoners out of Frongoch as tuberculosis was rife there. He refers to the book The Tragedies of Kerry by Dorothy Macardle, and explains that until recently he did not know that his father had been held in Kilmainham. Diarmuid’s daughter Breeda discusses the cache of material relating to Tim Ring which was found at her aunt’s house. Clare reads from a letter written by Tim Ring in which he describes conditions at Frongoch. Another letter written by him is also read. An extract from Mortimer O’Connell’s witness statement relating to the arrest of Tim Ring is read. Diarmuid recalls the way in which his father got the message about the Easter Rising through to the USA, at a time when censorship was very strict indeed. He remembers that when he himself joined the telegraphy company in 1943 censorship was still in place. Breeda expresses her pride in her grandfather, whom she never knew. She reads from the list of papers and other articles seized from the room occupied by him in August 1916. He was 33 years old at that time, and must have known the risk he was taking. To Diarmuid’s knowledge, his father was not in receipt of the military service pension. Tim Ring was a member of the Irish Republican Brotherhood, and Clare remarks that he was not released with others in December 1916, and had to remain in England. He was described by General Maxwell as a dangerous man. Diarmuid explains that his mother worked in London as a Multiplex operator with Western Union and that his parents were married there. Diarmuid recalls his uncle Eugene Ring. The Rings were a large republican family and Eugene had difficulty in finding steady employment until Fianna Fáil came to power in the 1930s. Diarmuid discusses the arrival of the Free State Army into Cahirciveen and he remembers some of the men who had served in the Munster Fusiliers. Breeda remarks on the large non-local population of Valentia Island in earlier days which included lighthouse keepers, telegraph company employees, the military and the British navy. She believes that this led to a certain tolerance of eccentricity or difference by the inhabitants. Clare details the chronology of Tim Ring’s arrest and detention, and she reads extracts from official documents in relation to him from August 1916 onwards. She remembers the commemorative year of 1966 and watching the documentary re-enactment of the Rising on television. She says that the events of 1916 and later were still controversial at that time. Breeda was aware of her grandfather’s role from an early age, and she describes being raised with republican stories. Diarmuid is the surviving son of his father, and he had three sisters. He remarks that his mother took great care of her husband who endured ill health and did not work after 1936. Diarmuid remembers that his father was conscious of the dangers of tuberculosis and took precautions against infection. He recalls some of his father’s visitors, which included Sceilg (writer John J. O’Kelly). Breeda explains that her grandfather was an educated man who had a great interest in history and in poetry.

Intuit has been gauging interest among small businesses for an on-demand bookkeeping service called Live Bookkeeping and is expected to launch the service in the near future.
This has caused some consternation in the accounting world, sparking fears that Intuit is going into competition with its bread and butter — the community of accountants who serve small businesses, often with Intuit’s QuickBooks accounting software. And specifically, the move raised fears that QuickBooks would compete with its own network of ProAdvisors.
We couldn’t find any formal announcements for the new service, but Accounting Today is reporting this week that Intuit contends that the service will actually create more business for its ProAdvisors.

I thought seeing Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again would be a fun romp through ABBA’s lesser-known songs sung by some of my absolute favorite actors like Meryl Streep, Lily James and Cher. And it was — I loved it. But what I was surprised to discover is that on top of being a fabulous musical, the film is really a mother-daughter love story full of emotion, loss and connection through the generations — something very powerful for me right now.
I lost my mother, Robin, two weeks ago. My mother and I had a difficult relationship; she an impulsive free spirit, me studious and cerebral, we never saw eye to eye about her lifestyle choices that often left me cleaning up her messes. In many ways, I often felt like I was the parent and she the child. On a positive note, from her I learned to be independent and circumspect and found ways to express myself through my writing — something she encouraged when I was young.
Robin was bedridden for the last five years. Her disease was one I’d never heard of: corticobasal degeneration, a progressive neurological disorder that’s basically a strong cocktail of Parkinson’s mixed with a splash of Alzheimer’s. It’s one of life's bitterest torments, especially since there is no cure. Doctors don't know what causes it. I certainly wouldn’t serve this drink to my worst enemy, let alone my own mother.
I was incredibly excited for the distraction of seeing a press screening of Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again. I couldn’t wait to escape into a dark theater, shove popcorn in my mouth, sip an iced tea bigger than my head and zone out to the enchanted ABBA tunes I remember fondly from my childhood.
I knew that the incredibly talented Lily James would be playing a younger version of Donna, the role played by Meryl Streep in the first film, in flashbacks. At the same time, the film also follows Sophie’s (Amanda Seyfried) life with her husband and three dads, making the movie both a prequel and a sequel.
Warning: If you haven't seen the film yet, there are spoilers ahead.
Streep is the same age as my mother. Both were born in June of 1949. Both were beautiful blondes. I had never connected them together in my mind before, but watching the movie was, in many ways, like watching my own mother up on-screen.
James plays the young Donna as a free-spirited, sexually adventurous flower child of the 1970s (just like my mother), looking to discover herself as she traipses through Europe, singing and dancing all the way. Not surprisingly, she becomes pregnant (one of the side effects of free love) and doesn’t know which of the three men with whom she’s rendezvoused is the father (the premise of the first film). The sequel maintains that mystery.
In the present-day storyline, Donna's daughter, Sophie, is throwing a grand reopening of her mother’s villa, the Hotel Bella Donna, one year after Donna's death. The occasion is bittersweet considering many of the characters are still grieving for Donna, including Sam (Pierce Brosnan). He opens his heart to Sophie, telling her he feels bad for abandoning Donna when she was pregnant and leaving her alone all those years ago.
What I think Sophie means is the love between them was big enough to fill both their hearts, even in the absence of a father.
The same is true for my own mother. In difficult times, in wonderful times, she had me. I was with her through the good and bad. And I am happy for that. I was her little girl and always will be. It is a perspective I had never considered before. Here's my epiphany: It’s easy for me to focus on all the things I didn’t get from my mother and not realize what I did get — a chance to be loved by her.
It made me think about how my own mother carried me, looked forward to greeting me and how excited she must have been to watch me grow. No matter our fate, her love for me was real and that’s powerful.
Later in the film, after a fun rendition of “Fernando” sung by Ruby Sheridan (Cher) to her old lover, played by Andy García, it’s Streep’s turn to sing. And it's showstopping.
As they harmonized across time and space, unable to touch each other’s flesh but feeling each other’s loving presence, I erupted with sobs.
And that’s the power of film. It can be a reminder that love transcends our bodies, planet Earth and the construct of time. I don’t know how or where it exists, I just know I can feel my mother loving me right now.
Robin Ann Edwards, thank you for loving me. Your grateful daughter, Shanee.
Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again opens Friday, July 20.

It is that time of the year when our Grade 12s sit for their year-end final examinations, not forgetting the other lower grades. It is for this reason that as a Mayor of Amajuba District Municipality, I take this opportunity to wish them well as they start this gruelling process which is another step in human development.
It is during this period when we advise and urge parents, grandparents, guardians and other family members to give their children extra love, care and support while they prepare and write their final exams. We must all let them know that they have our unconditional support as they face this important gateway to their adult life.
We must as parents, grandparents, guardians and other family members share with them that even if they do not do as well as we and they would have liked, this is not the end of the world. There are always other opportunities to write again and improve on their matric results.
We urge all our Grade 12 to conduct themselves with honesty during the exams because cheating and other exam irregularities will result in a criminal record. We trust that you have taken advantage of the extra classes arranged by the Department.
We wish to extend our deepest warm regards to all the Educators who for the whole year have dedicated their life and time in preparing our children for the better future. Your contributions will not go unnoticed. We wish you well too during this time because we understand that this also serves as a period when you evaluate yourselves for all your efforts for this particular year.
We further urge all faith-based organisations and all churches to pray for this period, let there be peace and warmth in all our examinations centres. Let God Almighty close space for demonic evils during this period.
An exam is not just a test of your academic knowledge; it is a test of your calmness, stability and courage. All the best for your exams. In ending, on behalf of Amajuba District Municipality and the family of municipalities within our district, I wish to assure you of the love we have for you. I wish to see you in our next Grade 12 Excellence Awards and hope to see you in the list of the best performers in the KwaZulu-Natal Province.

Last weekend, Brad Budjos injured his shoulder. During the first period of the PIHL Division 2 All-Star Game, he stayed down on the ice for a minute after a collision.
When he got to the bench, Team Blue coach Rick Kalinowski, who is also Budjos’ coach at Ringgold, told his player he might be done for the afternoon. The junior forward had other ideas, scoring twice to lead Team Blue to a 5-1 victory over Team Gold at the RMU Island Sport Center on Neville Island.
Fellow Rams forward Justin Day, also a junior, skated with Budjos on Team Blue.
Connellsville senior Greg Hensch got the scoring started, netting an unassisted goal at 5 minutes, 31 seconds of the first period. Team Blue would add three second period goals to take a 4-0 lead.
Budjos got the first of those at 10:42 off an assist from Carrick’s Gavin McKain on the power play.
“I went down and tried to go top shelf, I fanned on it a little bit and it just went in,” said Budjos.
Tommy Walls of Neshannock and Burrell’s Dylan Zelonka, the third-leading scorer in Division 2, netted goals just over a minute apart late in the second period to open up the game for Team Blue. Trinity sophomore Garrett Gellner assisted on both markers.
Junior Terrence Rice from Neshannock put Team Gold on the scoreboard 3:02 into the third period with a power play goal, but Budjos would restore the four-goal lead for Team Blue with a pretty goal in tight at 11:38 of the period.
Budjos maneuvered in down low on the right goal line and lifted a backhander top shelf for his second tally. The goal was not only skillful, it came against his Ringgold teammate, senior goaltender Evan Cook.
“Oh yeah, I let him know about it for sure,” Budjos said.
Two goals and an All-Star Game win will help take some of the pain away.

text: What I can say about August is centered in this group of Temari. Once I started the first one the color pallet captured me. 3.5” to 5” diameter. My brain activity seems to be feeding off the complex patterns and flow of lines. This is my happy place. Of course I’m hot for each and everyone I’ve completed along the way, finding the color play an ever expanding sphere of delight. The other aspects of life are fuzzy at the best of times. I am amazed and grateful that this medium crossed my path; and that I recognized the invitation it extended to me.

You know that conducting background checks is essential to ensuring a safe, secure workplace. In doing so, however, it is also crucial that you abide by the regulations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), which is easier said than done. Understanding FCRA compliance can be confusing and overwhelming; however, failing to comply to FCRA regulations can result in costly legal issues for employers.
In a on-demand webinar, employment law experts Pam Devata, partner at Chicago-based Seyfarth Shaw LLP, and Courtney Stieber, senior associate at Seyfarth Shaw, will address frequently asked questions regarding the FCRA and share best practice responses for ensuring your company stays FCRA compliant.

For over 40 years, Human Rights Watch has been at the forefront of the international human rights movement, investigating human rights abuses and exposing the truth in order to bring about deep-rooted change. Please join us as we celebrate some of the most important human rights achievements of the past year.
Each year the Voices for Justice Annual Dinners honor human rights defenders from around the world with our highest tribute, the Alison Des Forges Award for Extraordinary Activism. The award is named after Dr. Alison Des Forges, senior adviser to Human Rights Watch's Africa division for almost two decades, who died in a plane crash in New York on February 12, 2009. Des Forges was the leading expert on the 1994 Rwanda genocide and its aftermath. Human Rights Watch's annual award commemorates her outstanding commitment to, and defense of, human rights. It celebrates the valor of people who put their lives on the line to protect the dignity and rights of others.
Nujeen Mustafa’s grueling 16-month journey from Syria to Germany—in a wheelchair at age 16—propelled her to become a powerful advocate for the rights of refugees and for people with disabilities.

I was in high school, studying for my Romanian Baccalaureate. I went to a bilingual high school and did a Mathematics and IT. I was doing music in my spare time, taking bass guitar and music theory lessons, as I always knew this was the path I wanted to take.
Coming to London to study Music has been my dream for a long time. Most of my favourite music has its roots here, and in my mind, London is among the most influential music cities. I initially decided to get into sound engineering and music production and City had some very interesting modules related to my interest. With the Music, Sound and Technology course, we experience studio work, but also explore music and the music business in many other ways.
My course modules are very diverse, focusing on various aspects of the music industry. This course is suitable for aspiring music producers, but also for aspiring composers, performers, sound designers, music managers, or students who might have a vague idea of what they want to do later on and need a bit of inspiration. This course opens the door to a variety of career pathways, and the lecturers are very open, welcoming and willing to help you find your place. All you need to do is ask for help.
I am currently doing an internship at an artist management company, an area which I might not have even considered in the past but sparked my interest a few months ago. There is no better way to get an insight into the music business other than putting yourself out there and getting first-hand experience. This internship has opened my eyes to a lot of things. I feel like I’ve also learned a lot about myself in the process too.
I am now considering going into music management and gaining experience within a successful company. In the future, if everything goes well, I might start my own business.
University is not like high school. People will come in with years of experience behind them and that will likely put you off at first. Just breathe and do your best, learn at your own pace, and, whatever you do, do not get intimidated or defeated. For instance, on my course, people have different levels of musicianship or experience in the music business. Each of you might be better prepared in different areas and that is perfectly fine. Everyone has their strong and weak points. Nurture yours and start on your own path. Have ambition, focus on your goals and you can make it.

I strive to create yoga classes that are accessible to all levels, from beginner to seasoned yogi. I've been practicing since 2005; teaching since 2015. I'm passionate about yoga and all the benefits that can come from mindful movement and conscious breath - I've experienced them first hand! Most of my teaching up until now has been in the form of studio classes, but I have also worked with a number of private clients to help focus more specifically on an individual practice. And I love music! I believe a great playlist can truly transform a yoga practice - taking it from something you DO to something you FEEL. I'm interested in the entire yoga experience, and I want to pass that on to all my students.
I offer private lesson packages, which is a less expensive way to commit to your practice and set attainable, personal goals. Also, we can work out what location/ date/ time are best and go from there. Once a student decides HOW they want to yoga, then we can discuss the WHY... what are you looking to get out of this practice? What parts of your body or mind do you want to focus on most?
I have my RYT-200 (200 hour yoga teaching) certification & carry my own liability insurance. In addition to this, I've also taken several human anatomy/ physiology/ kinesiology courses that have significantly improved my knowledge of the body and it's movements.
Yes. Individual private lessons are $65/ hour (for up to 3 students). Packages offer discounted lesson rates and I sell these in 5, 10, and 20 class packs. 5 class packs are $295 ($30 savings). 10 class packs are $530 ($100 savings). 20 class packs are $940 ($360 savings). Packages do not expire, so you're able to build a plan that suits your life best.

If a Person Commits Suicide, Is He Automatically Lost for Hell?
Suicide is a delicate and disturbing subject.
After the recent suicide of Brittany Maynard, many people are discussing it, and some are asking perennial questions, like whether those who commit suicide are automatically lost.
While suicide can be a mortal sin, it is not always one, and the Church both prays for those who have committed suicide and encourages us not to despair of their salvation.
Here are is the Catechism’s discussion of the conditions necessary for mortal sin.
2280 Everyone is responsible for his life before God who has given it to him.
It is God who remains the sovereign Master of life.
We are obliged to accept life gratefully and preserve it for his honor and the salvation of our souls.
We are stewards, not owners, of the life God has entrusted to us.
It is not ours to dispose of.
2281 Suicide contradicts the natural inclination of the human being to preserve and perpetuate his life.
It is gravely contrary to the just love of self.
It likewise offends love of neighbor because it unjustly breaks the ties of solidarity with family, nation, and other human societies to which we continue to have obligations.
Suicide is contrary to love for the living God.
2282 If suicide is committed with the intention of setting an example, especially to the young, it also takes on the gravity of scandal.
Voluntary co-operation in suicide is contrary to the moral law.
Let’s pray for all those who are tempted to commit suicide, for all those who have committed it, and for all those who have lost someone to suicide.
Then why the body of dead ppl who have committed suicide due to depression etc are not blessed and given a funeral mass?????
My 19 year old daughter died by suicide 9/4/15. She had a Beautiful Funeral Mass. She suffered severe anxiety and depression for five years having 9 in-hospital admissions. I have no doubt she is in Heaven.
in the ole days we were told that the ones who have commited suicide could not be buried in the cemetary or be in the church i was 10 at the time….
That happens because the Church does not encourage suicide. If you read the Bible, it is recommended when people become immoral or heretic should be excommunicated till they repent and change their lives.
Rachelle and Ada, our Faith is constantly developing so that we understand things in a clearer way or in a different way than we did in the past. But the Teachings of Jesus Christ never change…it’s just explained in a better way. I remember, too, when I was really young and suicide victims or even people who were married outside of the Church were not given a full Catholic Mass and Burial and then buried outside of a Catholic Cemetery. It’s not that way anymore because we have a better understanding of the explanations given above.
Having been in the company of and personally knowing many folks with severe mental illness, I’ve had to hear the sad news of about a dozen such folks over the years taking their own lives. However, we should indeed not despair as the Church prays for all those who have taken their lives. Given the agony of severe episodes of major depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia in its various sub-categories, I feel that at the very least, virtually all those who take their lives are saved. GOD is a loving father with a soft heart and grieves with his vulnerable Children so afflicted.
Am I right in saying that soon after the crucifixion of Jesus, many people assumed the meanings and belief in the words spoken by Jesus about getting to heaven on death if you believed Jesus was the Messiah , meant many people committed suicide or got someone to kill them or attacked someone in the hope they could be killed and automatically go to heaven was common for many years in the early years of the Christian Faith. Only after time was it denounced to avoid so many dying by suicide for that reason and only then regarded by the early Church to call that act a mortal sin?

Death visited my family yesterday. I thought this poem by Edward Thomas expressed my aunt's feelings as she said farewell.
Edward Thomas, who was born in 1878, began writing poetry only in 1914. He was killed in action at the Battle of Arras in 1917.
I am sick of these corporatist fools who know the cost of everything and the value of nothing.
I will sign the petition, thanks for raising this.

Netball is a fast, skillful team game based on running, jumping, throwing and catching. It is played by two teams each consisting of 7 players - 2 shooters, 2 defenders and 3 center court players. Each player has a playing position which determines the areas of the court that they may access. The positions are identified by bibs worn above the waist on both the front and back of each player. The positions are listed below.
The aim of the game is to score as many goals as possible from within the Goal Circle; a semi-circle centered on the goal line and measuring 16ft radius. Only the GS and GA may score goals. Goals are scored through a hoop resembling a basketball hoop but without a backboard. Each goal scores 1 point.The netball moves up and down the court by catching and throwing it to other team members. Dribbling and moving with the ball are not allowed. Each player may only hold the ball for 3 second at a time before being penalized.

Gizmodo has reviewed the new Samsung Galaxy Tab, the first ‘iPad rival’ tablet to hit the market. To say that Matt Buchanan, Gizmodo’s reviewer, isn’t impressed with the Galaxy Tab is a huge understatement. The review title dubs the device a ‘pocketable train wreck’.
This thing is just a mess. It’s like a tablet drunkenly hooked up with a phone, and then took the fetus swimming in a Superfund cleanup site. The browser is miserable, at least when Flash is enabled. It goes catatonic, scrolling is laggy, and it can get laughably bad.
RIM – makers of Blackberry devices – have announced their upcoming tablet device, called the Blackberry PlayBook. This will likely be seen as one of the primary rivals for the iPad when it is released – which is expected to be in ‘early 2011’.
Watching the promo video for the PalyBook, I have to say that the more I see of potential iPad rival devices, the more this feels like deja vu with the way all the other smartphone makers rushed around desperate to copy the iPhone for the first couple of years after the original iPhone launched.
Kevin C. Tofel has a great post up at the GigaOM site where he provides odds for the success of three of the latest, greatest iPad rivals. Success is very relative in this case – with it being defined as selling one million units this year (against predictions of over 12 million iPads sold this year).
In his view, none of the three current contenders have great odds, though the Samsung Galaxy Tab (shown above) is given the best chance of success – with odds of just 4-1 *if* it is priced competitively.

When I arrived in Istanbul, I had the feeling to arrive back in western culture, as it was a stark contrast to the south east of turkey. It felt like I arrived in the 4th culture on my trip after Georgia, Turkey and the kurdish regions of Turkey in the south east.
I used the first days to let some impressions sink in, to develop and select my pictures, and write down some of the experiences I had in the last weeks. I slowly arrived back in western culture: I went rock climbing, tried hot yoga and attented lots of parties, concerts and contemporary art exhibitions. I also enjoyed to be finally back in a more vegetarian friendly environment with a good selection of vegetarian/vegan restaurants and cafés.
Istanbul is a very clean city compared to other cities in turkey. There’s still trash on some street corners, but not big piles and it doesn’t smell very bad, and the air is breathable as there's not much smog.
The public transport in Istanbul is a bit messy as I expected it for such a enormous city. The only reliable ways of transportation are the (relatively new) metro and the ferries. Every other transportation which is street based has huge delays and sometimes never reaches its destination.
There's an uncountable amount of cafés, bars, clubs and little shops in Istanbul. Most of them are in houses where every story is used for another venue. Mostly a café or store at the ground floor, some restaurants and bars in the middle floors and a club or fancy restaurant at the top floor.
Similar shops are always next to each other, so I found streets where you could only find shops selling music instruments, leds, paintings, antik chairs or supplies for a chemical lab.
After being in the east for some time before coming to Istanbul, I could feel that the peace might be only temporary.
I met lots of artists, engineers and other kind of intellectuals who openly made plans to leave turkey or already married someone from Europe or North America so they have the possibility to escape.
They are escaping because of missing freedom, because of missing women rights and also to escape the mandatory military service, which you could otherwise only escape by paying 30.000TL(~11.000€).
They see future conflicts between the advocates and opponents of Erdoğan and his political ideas. After some talking I also saw a potential conflict between the kurdish people, who work as guest workers on the fields in the west, and the jobless Syrian refugees who might do that job for even less money. Last summer you could earn about 30TL(~11€) for one day of fieldwork as a guest worker.

We all strive to be better people and to embody what most of us call excellence. But there’s a fairly large gap between excellence and what we might call innovation. Both qualities live on the leading edge. Excellence surpasses what might be considered required or average performance where innovation takes our actions into expanding beyond the envelope of what is expected in terms of perspective and options. In accomplishing either there’s also a tremendous difference in the rapport we can expect to have with others, especially our peer group, relative to the support we might also expect to come from them. Being on the leading edge can be extremely exciting but at the same time disconcertingly lonely.
Portraying excellence sometimes embodies a few unexpected twists but it, invariably and generally, matches some “job description” or intended and publicly assumed goal. With whatever is accomplished there remains a sense of consistency and the feeling that things will go on as they are and that we are all on the “right path.” Humans love consistency. It provides a reassuring and solid point of reference for us to know that we stand within the specified limits of what is possible for the average person and what will be acceptable by our society’s majority for our approval, continued support and our guaranteed sense of belonging. In this we remain part of the herd and will keep receiving their shelter and protection. Innovation moves way past excellence in what is expected, however. It does have its perks in connecting us with like minded individuals who usually, end up becoming our support system. But even there, jealousy and resentment can rear its ugly head but, perhaps, not quite as much as simply excelling past our limits.
This regard for excellence and hero worship has spawned many proverbs and myths about socially desired perspectives designed to promote success but within specified social parameters protecting the status quo so everyone may feel safe and secure within accepted guidelines. “Everybody loves a winner” is one of our proliferated social proverbs. On the surface it requires our expected, and usually granted, public adulation of the winner but underneath it sparks cloaked jealousy and resentment within “average” people. Why?
Within our contemporary social context we have a spoken, unspoken and often accepted assumption that to be considered “good” and productive by others we must always strive to do our best and even more so when life and its circumstances challenge our survival and our comfort. But living life with life’s challenges can often be overwhelming and draining of whatever energy we have well past our capacity to regenerate it and resume our struggle. In light of this perceived “battering” we often assess our resiliency as not being “up to snuff’ with what we think others expect us to cope with. This tends to lead us to feel “badly” about ourselves and to either hide our perceived inadequacies or, if they are too obvious, rationalize them away. We may also find refuge with others through commiseration. Generally, if we don’t commiserate we just accept “discommendation,” pull back and refocus elsewhere. This is not a self-empowering feeling when we live in what we might perceive as a highly competitive society. However, we usually just do our best to put I out of our minds.
When someone exhibits excellence in something we have struggled with and have not been able to overcome, it resurfaces our feelings of frustration, overwhelming and defeat. Depending on our level of maturity, strength of self-confidence and if the person achieving excellence is “one of our clan” will determine how we react. If the person is “one of our clan” we may have mixed reactions; partly happy for them and the group and partly sad about our own experience with our past efforts. If either or both of our maturity or self-confidence are below the threshold of feeling compassion, we will tend to congratulate them outwardly and resent them privately.
Achieving excellence puts us in a precarious position with our friends, loved ones and peer group. First, it puts us in a position of leadership whether we want it or not. This, in itself, can put us into circumstances which accelerate resentment and competition among and with those who “follow” us. Second, it puts us into a position that, were we to repeat the challenge, we would be expected to repeat our excelling performance, at the least, to the degree that would qualify us for continued accolades regardless as to whether the circumstances had remained the same or had become more difficult. Third, if we did not repeat our performance to the level that we gained accolades for on a subsequent challenge, those who “followed” us would denigrate us mercilessly. Why? Because we had been reluctantly elevated, to a level of “better than,” by them, and was expected to and failed to “spearhead” as a “point man” the task that no one else could or would do leaving a vacuum that someone else will have to fill and, potentially, fail at revealing their perceived inadequacies.
In no way am I attempting to discourage anyone from attempting and achieving excellence and innovation. However, it is necessary to become aware that the support system or even the commiseration that once came with being part of an “average” or “regular” group of people may often change from what we expect from them. The security, belonging and acceptance of being just one of the “regular guys” evaporates when we outstrip our peers in performance. Our excelling performance reminds them of what they should or could be doing exposing their self doubts and, if they employ projection, they begin to look at us as a problem diminishing their self-image in the presence of their peers and the world. I actually had a coworker say to me, “Don’t work so fast. You’re making us look bad.” This type of attitude tends to make them distance themselves from us allowing their self-doubts to again retreat into their shadow and then validate their withdrawal by commiserating with the remaining peer group about their differences from us through rationalizing their perceived inadequacies.
There is one other perspective that I wish to bring to your attention. And that is the plight of a family member who is used as a “catch all” for blame when the family is unable to either accomplish something or live up to a standard that’s “required” for social approval. This is can also be a person who moves onto the leading edge relative to their family’s health and functioning. This family member then becomes the “scapegoat.” Even though they may receive derision for being the cause of perceived but hidden family “incompetence,” they still receive a form of family protection and inclusion through maintaining the dysfunctional family rapport with the perceived family inadequacies by keeping them covered and hidden from public knowledge. When the “scapegoat” moves past his or her role as sustainer of the projected family mask by reclaiming his or her own self-respect and dignity, the family feels intensely threatened and will subject him or her to much more pressure while additionally threatening them with “excommunication” lest they return to their prior supportive role in keeping the family secrets intact and unexposed. As we can see here also, excellence and innovation are relative to what is expected regardless of the level we start at.
There's no Crowd on the Leading Edge. Not only must we deal with the challenge of the circumstances that we strive to overcome to be an excellent or innovative performer, but we must also deal with potential feelings of jealousy and resentment coming from our immature co-workers or family members who were either unable or unwilling to achieve excellence on their own. Our fate is often in becoming the object of gossip and, perhaps, being ostracized. Being on the leading edge can truly be exciting AND a lonely place. It often requires us to make a choice between remaining as a safe and secure sheep among the “average” in the herd or moving past our limits to accomplish what others may only dream of. All of us must eventually choose.

Kuwait’s economy strengthened further in the past two years, with real GDP growth of 6.4 percent in 2004 accelerating to 8.5 percent in 2005, thanks to higher oil production and buoyant non-oil activity. The overall fiscal surplus increased to an estimated 24 percent of GDP in 2004/05. Nonetheless, fiscal policy was expansionary as the non-oil primary deficit increased to 61 percent of non-oil GDP because of higher subsidies, transfers, and capital outlays. As a result of buoyant non-oil activity and the delayed effect of the dinar’s depreciation against the euro and the yen, inflation edged up to almost 4 percent in 2005. The stock price index more than tripled during 2003-05. Progress with structural reforms continued, albeit slowly, and private sector participation expanded, particularly in telecommunications, airlines, and infrastructure development.
The IMF Executive Board commended the authorities for Kuwait’s strong macroeconomic position and their constructive role in support of oil price stability. The Directors encouraged the authorities to further improve the structure of the budget by gradually increasing capital expenditure and achieving a better balance between productive expenditure and fiscal savings, and to develop a comprehensive and transparent medium-term strategy to manage fiscal surpluses. They welcomed steps taken to further strengthen banking supervision and open the sector to foreign banks and noted that the continuing increase in the stock price index should be carefully monitored to assess its potential impact on the financial sector. In this regard, it will be important to implement the Financial Sector Assessment Program recommendations, including passing capital market and insurance laws and establishing comprehensive oversight of the stock exchange, investment companies, and insurance sector.
1 Fiscal year ending March 31.

1 Post By Mr. H.
Summer just wouldn’t be the same without weekend barbecues with friends and family. But if you’re new to vegan eating, you might be overwhelmed at the prospect of being the ONLY vegan at a barbecue. But fear not—with a little preparation, eating vegan at a barbecue can be super delicious, and it’s a fun opportunity to share plant-based foods with friends and family.
What kind of vegan stuff would you bring to a barbecue? Watermelon and corn are a must for me!
Watermelon and corn are great! But I've brought vegan potato salad and veggie burgers too. There are vegan hot dogs, I think, but... I didn't care that much for hot dogs when I ate meat, although I ate them if our family had them. I always preferred burgers. I think I've had some appetizing vegan sausage though.
Anyway, there are at least two possibilities for potato salad. You could make it with vegan mayonnaise (I think either "Just Mayo" or "Vegenaise" would be terrific), or make "Potato Salad Tzapanos" from one of Anna Thomas' "Vegetarian Epicure" books. The Tzapanos one is made with cooked potatoes and carrots, with a dressing of olive oil, dill leaf, lemon juice, and garlic.
Tossed salad is always a possibility, but I'd want to make something more elaborate or unusual than just lettuce/tomatoes/etc with a vinaigrette dressing. There's nothing wrong with lettuce and tomatoes, but I'd add maybe some cooked and chilled vegetables too for some different flavor and texture- potatoes or carrots would be good- and/or maybe some fruit mixed in. My favorite dressing is a simple one of oil and lemon or lime juice (much fresher-tasting than vinegar). I love olive oil but might use something more bland if I though olive oil would clash with some of the salad ingredients. I wouldn't go overboard on dressing in any case. Just this past week we had an in-house lunch catered, and the tossed salad came with three containers of dressing (ranch, Russian, and Italian, I think)- most of which we wound up throwing out.
I never seem to grill vegetables, but a number of them are great grilled.
Peasant (1963-1972) and Fluffy (1970s?-1982- I think of you as 'Ambrose' now)- Your spirits outshone some humans I have known. Be happy forever.
Going to a BBQ as a Vegan? Drama or great opportunity?
Going as a vegan to a BBQ is do-able, for sure.
Personally, I wouldn't want my soyburger on the grill next to the meat that's why I would prepare my burgers at home and eat them in a bun - cold.
If you don't mind have your vegan food on the same grill as the meat there are a 1000 options available, like grilled veggies; aubergine, courgette, paprika, tomatoes, corn, onion, carrot, sweet potato and so much more.
You can also make bean burgers at home to put on the grill, make a little bit more to share with the others, big change that they will love the beanburger as much as you!!
Coming to a bbq with delicious vegan food is actually a perfect opportunity to show off the variety of yummy vegan food that could make people change their mind about the vegan diet!
You could even make a really nice potato or chickpea salad to share with everyone!
Have fun at the BBQ!
You do realize this is a vegetarian and vegan forum, right?
Lets spread love and information with stickers!
We had a department lunch recently and the choice was a steakhouse. I ate rice and veggies.
Depends how vegan you are.
I eat mostly vegetarian but I'm not dogmatic. A Steak twice a year won't kill me.
If everyone would eat as little meat as me that would make a great difference.
What people taste in BBQ is the sauce, the smoke, the char. You can do that with various vegan/vegetarian produces, including tofu and seitan. It’s all in the process. Try vegetables, too, like eggplant, jackfruit, summer squash, mushrooms, and fruit like pineapple — especially good. It’s all in the process!
A lot of the stuff at a regular bbq I can eat. Just not the burgers and hot dogs. I usually bring a package of Field Roast Apple Sage Sausage (my fav) and some homemade vegan side (for me and to share). That way i know I won't get hungry even if no other things are vegan. There is usually some interest in the sausages and they can be cut up so people can sample them. Just be sure to have some toothpicks and a few choices of mustard. I don't think I brought any home last time.
The last bbq I went to - there was a lot of interest in Beyond Burgers which had been in the news a lot. So I bought a package of made them with all the toppings and cut them into quarters so people could sample them. Almost everyone tried them and almost everyone was positive about them.

I had craved Mompiche’s empty, tropical beaches since first reading a teeny snapshot about it online. ‘Montañita is… yeah…’ said my Spanish teacher, ‘but Mompiche is… well… my favourite in Ecuador’. ‘How do you get there?’ I asked, my appetite whetted by inside information. She didn’t know, other than to drive.
I tried to figure out my route but information was scarce and what I did find told me that it would be quite a mission. One site advised: catch a bus from Quito to Atacames but get off at a roadside junction – the bus driver will know which one – and wait for a bus to Mompiche. But there were only two buses per day, it added, and I envisaged myself standing alone on a random dirt road well into the night, looking hopefully into the distance for a bus to show.
In the end, the route I took (well we took, – my earlier travelling companions decided to come along which, on such an unknown route, suited me fine) was from Quito to Esmeraldas to Atacames to El Salto to Mompiche. It should have been simpler but it got us there.
So was it worth it? Did the dream translate?
Stocking up on some much needed vitamins with a fresh berry juice topped with slices of watermelon and banana was a good way to start the Mompiche experience, although the owner first needed to finish the card game that he was betting on. He won, the other guy disappeared and the juice arrived in a dramatic fashion to an Afro-Ecuadorian soundtrack. The music was, however, quickly switched to some unrecognisable Western schmaltz. Pity.
Mompiche is a village of dream catchers, and maybe it also hooks in those searching for the dream life. Serranos (people from the mountainous area of the country) have made their way here, and there’s a strong Argentinian and Colombian presence too (the DMCA Surf Hostal – the only publicised hostel – is run by a bunch of Columbian surfers).
Mompiche at low tide offers a vast stretch of sandy beach across which mini crabs scuttle in and out of their tiny holes, undisturbed by human presence. Whilst I was there, hardly a soul was in sight. Even on the high street (there are essentially only two main streets in the place) it could be an effort to find someone, and shops often remained without keeper until alerted.
What to do in Mompiche? Relax. I had grand ideas of getting up early and running the stretch of the beach (I’ve still not satisfied the restlessness of my legs), but beers, chats and giggles around the campfire at night meant that, come the morning, the craving for sleep won.
I imagined hiring a surf board and playing on the beach break but lethargy kicked in and even a walk to La Playa Negra was a mammoth effort (we hitched a ride back). Mompiche took my energy and character and melded them into something unconstructive yet perfectly content with swinging in a hammock and splashing in the sea. Days passed. I was happy. But I really didn’t do much.
Before I left, I swung by El Negrito Bar for a final drink. A kiss on the cheek and a cuddle later from the owner and I was ready to leave, batido de mora (berry milkshake) in hand. I had to get away from Mompiche before I stayed forever and did very little for the rest of my life.
P.S. Pablo, Tito and the crew at Gabeal, and all the guys at La Facha (great food) and DMCA, – thanks for the info, advice and the good times. Thanks also to the sand flies and mosquitos for your monstrous munching efforts. It will take some time to forget you.
