shift in attitudes. We need girls to aspire to the whole spectrum of jobs and careers out there, to feel that engineering and science and maths and technology are form them too. And then we, the adults, need to shift our attitudes too. We need to value work women do in our minds equally so that we value it equally in their pay.
This has a positive knock-on effect on men too. There are many jobs that are considered traditionally female that men do not consider as viable options for themselves. Jobs in (traditionally female) social care for example are increasing, while (traditionally male) manufacturing jobs are being lost to automation.
In my mind therefore the solution is two-fold. Encouraging women into STEM careers, as Thales – the maker of the above video – do is great. But as a society we also need to encourage men into traditionally female roles so we, as humans, are all free to flourish and contribute as best we can to society from the fairest starting point possiblelotCIWidth.R

I’msn’t had a hit since…can’t figure out why you’d need to rest your #1 catching prospect for the 3rd game of the season.
The “Choo Choo Train” is on fire at the plate, Uncle Bob shouldn’n’ but what’s the story on Brodie Greene? Seems to me like a year or so ago, he was one of the “Futures” guys. Appears he’s been buried in the system.

Rutger, the Rutgers Gardens cat, dies at 21
The friendly "Garden Greeter" lived a long, happy 21 years.
Rutger the Rutgers Gardens cat died on Monday lying in the grass in the sun.
The beloved cat was 21 years old.
He was the subject of a missing cat search in the summer of 2014.
Despite a short lost-and-found period in 2014, Rutger spent his life at Rutgers Gardens. A friendly gray tabby with a brownish nose and gold eyes, Rutger came to Rutgers Gardens as a frisky kitten along with his littermate, sister Abs. A former Rutgers Gardens director brought Rutger and Abs at 6 weeks to the gardens. Their "job" was to control the mice population in the greenhouse. Abs died in May 2014.
RELATED: Beloved Rutgers Gardens cat is missing
Both cats were loved and cared for by the staff and volunteers at Rutgers Gardens.
Known as the "Garden Greeter," Rutger became a staple at Rutgers Gardens. During the summer months, the friendly cat inevitably would be found at his post outside the gift shop.
During fall, winter and spring, he stayed in the greenhouse where he lived, McLaughlin said.
"There are other greenhouse cats, but they stay in the area," she said. "They don't wander. As soon as summer begins and more visitors arrive, Rutger walked across the whole gardens to get to the gift shop."
It was noticed that Rutger was missing around July 30, 2014. According to McLaughlin, a woman took him intending to make him her pet. It did not work out and instead of returning Rutger, the woman set him free about two miles away. The smell of grilled salmon brought him to a backyard on nearby Ruth Street. The next day, he was found at the same home. McLoughlin spotted him right away sitting in the front yard.
RELATED: Rutger the Rutgers Garden cat reunited
At the time, McLaughlin said the experience of Rutger being lost and found renewed her faith in people in general. So many reached out to Rutgers Gardens to send their good wishes and look for Rutger.
"With all the bad news going around, this has been a reaffirmation in humanity," McLaughlin said. "Since the story went online, we have received so many phone calls and offers of help. From as far away as South Jersey. One said they had experience finding lost cats and would come to help us. This has just been amazing.
"Even a year later, a woman called me because she found the article saved in a relative's house," she added. "But, she only had the first half and wanted to know how the story ended. I told her it was the happiest of endings. He came home."

Lee Charnley sends email to Newcastle fans
With the transfer window closing, an email in the name of Lee Charnley has gone out to the Newcastle fans
Wednesday 2nd September 2015 by Jackie Smithfield
The latest email to Newcastle United to go out to supporters, has gone out under the name of the club’s Managing Director, Lee Charnley.
Coinciding with the end of the summer transfer window, the email reveals how much has been spent on transfer fees, as well as the impact on the wage bill.
The communication also says that the club accept that their actions, or inaction, have helped open up a divide between the supporters and the football club.
Lee Charnley’s Email – 2 September 2015
A message from the Boardroom
In a CaCaptain and one of the figureheads of our club.
I’d also like to highlight a few key messages:
Financial strength… The decisions we’ve made over the past few years have given us the financial strength to net spend significantly this summer, as well as retaining those key players who were in demand from other clubs.
We’ll continue to spend on the squad moving forward and have no need or desire to sell our best players.
Our strategy is clear – quality over quantity… We want the best young players available to us.
A new board structure… The Board have worked very closely together during this summer window. We want a squad that is strong defensively, combined with plenty of creativity, attacking intent and flair.
A long term strategy… We’re delighted with the players we’ve brought in, but we always knew that it would take more than one window to reshape and restructure.
We are in a very strong financial position. To allow us to continue in this vein, we need to ensure that the club’s finances remain just as healthy over the coming years. We ask that you trust us in this process. We be.
Steve and his team
I hope you can see from activities such as the pre-season open/family day, the emails like mine that are now being sent directly to your inbox, and with a fresh focus on engaging with you far better on social media, we are showing we have a desire to connect with you.
What is absolutely clear is that when we are all pulling in the same direction and you are one hundred percent behind the players who wear our shirt, it makes the difference.
Your support is magnificent and truly valued. On behalf of the board and all my colleagues, I hope that this can be a new chapter of positivity and progression for Newcastle United on and off the pitch.

'sOriginally from Ocean Township, N.J. and a product of the nationally-renowned hoops academy St. Anthony High School, Smith committed to Nebraska in 2014 after strongly considering Providence, Ole Miss and Duquesne among other schools.
As a freshman during the 2014 season, Smith averaged 17.6 minutes per game to go along with 4.5 ppg. One of only four players to see action in every single one of the Cornhuskers' 31 games, Tarin was the team's fourth-leading scorer and boasted a notable 13-point outing at Ohio State.
"I really like the team, the family atmosphere and just think we can be really good," Smith said.
With major roster turnover in the backcourt, Smith will have a serious opportunity to rack up a solid number of minutes this year at the guard position. He already received the starting nod in the Red & Blue's lone scrimmage against Mansfield.
Though the team is largely different than last year's squad, Smith remains undeterred.

"The fourth trimester is pretty fascinating. It was such a haze of hormones and sleep deprivation that when I think of it now it seems like a dream, or as if it happened to someone else. It's the most intense thing I've ever gone through. Such incredible highs and terrible lows."
Alexandra Sachs, reproductive psychiatrist (USA), describes what needs to change in our understanding of the fourth trimester. "Becoming a mom is a profound transformation – socially, biologically and psychologically – and it makes sense that moms feel things other than happiness. We need to normalise that."
For pregnancy and postpartum coach Amy, the fourth trimester is "a sacred window of time that a woman needs to rest and heal from her birth and bond with her baby."
She advocates for changes in how women are taken care of in this time, sharing that: "Postpartum is sadly neglected in the modern world. Traditional cultures honour and contain the woman after she gives birth as they understand that if the mother is well, the baby will be well, and so the family will therefore be well. Unfortunately, the focus is primarily on the baby."
"A hospital lying-in period of between 8 and 14 days was standard in the 1950s, whereas length of postnatal hospital stay for a woman with an uncomplicated vaginal birth in the UK is now often 1 - 2 days. Over time there have been a number of changes in post-natal care in the UK, the most evident being a reduction in length of hospital stay."
The Magic Behind The 'Mummy Brain'
Ever wondered why so many mothers forget little details and complain of having a 'mummy brain'?
"On a systemic level, let's start with extended maternity and paternity leave p"
"I do think I suffered from postpartum anxiety with my first that went undiagnosed. Perhaps if I'd been seeing a therapist regularly they may have picked up on it. My doctor checked in about postpartum depression but not about anxiety - I wish more attention was paid to it."
This certainly was the case for me postpartum, in a foreign speaking country. However, second time around I did it differently - having matured, spoken countless times to other mums, midwives, read books and watched TV shows."
"T baby. The second time around I actually knew what I was doing and I felt way more confident. I also knew that it would get easier since I'd gone through it before, whereas with my first I thought it would be that hard forever!."
Alison is a firm believer in giving mothers practical support. "I believe breastfeeding support (doula etc) and someone making sure the mom is well-fed with warming, nourishing meals in the first few weeks is so important. So is family and partner support with practical tasks like house cleaning, cooking etc - so the mom can focus on her baby and her own rest and healing."
Amy agrees. "I really believe in getting a postpartum doula - it's the best investment you'll ever make!
The most important word?YOUR. The fourth trimester belongs to you, and you're in charge (as far as possible!
As a mum, you will have unique needs and wants and hopes!And these are yours to decide. Don't want your mother or mother-in-law around for the first two weeks?Go for it. Unsure if it's 'polite' to tell your visitors what to bring and when to leave?
"My partner and I had important conversations about our values, the kind of parents we wanted to be, our boundaries and when we wanted to see people. We knew it was imperative to establish a bond with our baby and our own flow, before having visitors. Then a pandemic hit so that wasn't even an option anymore!"
Write a postpartum plan (we love this one by Tommy's) beforehand to help you think through and prepare before your birth. Just going through this process can help women better understand their own needs and wishes. Having a plan also helps one anticipate difficulties and be prepared to get the types of support one needs. This is even more important in a pandemic!
Plan ahead and buy yourself what you need and what you love for this time. And no, this isn't selfish. While your baby takes up all the attention (and gifts!
Amy adds to this. "Baby showers should also be about educating friends about this time. Have people put together a pot of money to contribute to a doula or food packages for after birth. After birth, make sure visitors make themselves useful - this is not a time to host!- and give them friendly time limits."
"Minimise visitors. Have other people do household chores. Rest when your baby rests. Eat whole foods. Drink enough water. Surrender to the space of non-doing. Write your birth story, with the real emotions, without protecting anyone. For five minutes each day, connect to your breath."

Review:Emeli Sande’ at Bowery Ballroom
A couple of months ago, I told you to put singer Emeli Sande‘ on your radar if you hadn’t done so already. The Scottish singing sensation returned to the US on June 4, 2012 with a sold out show at New York’s Bowery Ballroom. The show celebrated the US release of Emeli Sande’s debut album “Our Version of Events.” As expected, Emeli blew the roof off the Bowery Ballroom with a voice so good that it seems there is no way she will not become a household name.
At the stroke of midnight when her album was officially released in the US, she celebrated by signing copies of her CD at the merch table. It appeared as if the entire venue was so blown away by the performance that every person picked up the album. The future is indeed bright for Emeli Sande’ and I wish her the best that success has to offer. New York, Emeli Sande’ is performing on June 5, 2012 at Music Hall of Williamsburg in Brooklyn and I venture to guess it will be your last opportunity to see her perform in a small venue, so do not miss it!
If you have not heard her amazing voice, you can see a video of her performing a ,” that I recorded when I saw Emeli Sande’ in April. Highly recommended (and link will open in a new window).


If the glass running from the floor all the way to the flat roof had been thinner, he might have heard the goldcrests perched in the cacti on the other side. Four more alighted on the arm of one giant cactus to peck at it as he leaned his forehead against the window to watch. They would kill the plant sooner or later, but they meant no harm. They just didn’t know any better. How could they? Maybe if he reached a hand out, he could touch their feathers through the glass . . . take some of their innocence for himself.
There was a time when my Christmas trees were perfectly decorated. All of the ornaments adhered to a color scheme, and only white lights were allowed on my tree! Tinsel was most definitely not allowed.
And now, a special Christmas gift for one of my readers! The folks over at Dayspring are gifting a beautiful Christmas pillow to one of you! To enter, simply leave a comment and let me know what verse is particularly meaningful to you this time of the year. I’ll choose a random winner on Saturday, December 29th, so be sure you have your comment posted before then.
At first I was frustrated whenever things like this came up during our “lesson time”. After all, I had a checklist for us to complete! I learned not to underestimate the value of unscheduled learning this spring when the kids and I had a picnic. We finished our sandwiches and the three oldest kids started exploring the pond in our backyard. They were making note of the various wildlife they found and happily reporting their observations to me. I’d brought our science book with us, and was just about to call them away from the water so that we could read our lesson, when it hit me… They were already learning science! I started laughing at myself and tucked the science book back into my bag; it really would be OK if we read our lesson later.
Don’t get me wrong, I still have “the checklist” and I’d be lost without my Well Planned Day, but now I know that the list can wait when opportunities arise. The books and worksheets will still be there later, and encouraging the curiosity of the moment is what will bring my kids back to the books to learn more!
Now for the giveaway details! Just leave a comment on this blog post and on Thursday a winner will be randomly drawn from all of the comments. I’ll announce the winner next Friday! six weeks.
We usually take a few weeks off in December. I look for winter/Christmas themed worksheets online and print them off for the kids. They have fun and still keep skills sharp. We do a lot of crafts and baking too. Christmas ornaments are a favorite project, and the kids always help me make homemade dog biscuits for our German Shepherd’s stocking! Last year we did the Jessie tree ornaments and readings. That’s another tradition that we’ll be continuing. Most of these activities might not be strictly considered “school”, but there’s still plenty of educational value in them.
And now for the giveaway! To enter, simply leave me a comment telling me about a special tradition your family has. A winner will be randomly drawn on Thursday, and announced on Friday
I’m a homeschool graduate, but I spent my elementary years at the local public school before my and me. My husband attended the same private Christian school from Kindergarten straight through High School graduation. We actually discussed how we would educate any children we might have back when we were dating. Home education was very important to both of us, and we agreed that we would teach our children at home.
You know what the Bible says about pride going before a fall? Completely true.! I took a step back, a deep breath, and looked for what God was teaching me about teaching.
I learned that our homeschool will not look exactly like anyone else’s. And that’s OK. God gave me wonderfully unique children, and educating them would require an approach that would probably be a little different from how other families did it. I learned to keep the ideas that worked, and not worry about letting go of the ones that didn’t. I learned that planning is important, but flexibility is absolutely necessary. Most of all, I learned to enjoy the ride.
Oh sure, there are still days where I think arithmetic might be out to get me. Some days are more stressful than others, and it’s still a lot of work. But overall, I enjoy my job as a home educator. I’m the one who gets to be there when they read their first book, learn to write their name, and all of the countless other firsts.
To enter this week’s giveaway, justrandomly chosen on Thursday.


Home PageArtists NewsCemre Baysel and Aytaç Şaşmaz couple are coming with surprises!
One of the TV series that left its mark on last summer, Baht Oyunu was a turning point in the careers of young actors Cemre Baysel and Aytaç Şaşmaz.
The couple both experienced a great leap in their careers and sailed into a beautiful love affair. Fans of the duo, who have been away from the screens for a while since the finale of the series, are eagerly waiting for the couple’s new project.
A claim made in the past months has created excitement among the fans of the famous couple. According to this claim, the couple received a musical offer to play together.
It is not clear whether this project will take place, but a post by Aytaç Şaşmaz on his Instagram account has brought this claim back to the agenda.
Aytaç Şaşmaz, who dropped the note “Surprises and beauties are coming soon” on his post, raised the question of “Will they take part in a project together again” among his fans.
On the other hand, Aytaç Şaşmaz preferred the movie after the Baht Oyunu. The famous actor takes the leading role in the movie İlk Göktürk, directed by Alper Çağlar.
I will portray the character of “Istemi Yabgu”. The actor is taking riding and shooting lessons intensively for the movie.
Produced by Alper Çağlar and Doruk Acar, the İlk Göktürk movie stars Aytaç Şaşmaz, as well as German actors Robert Maasermin, Murat Serezli and Tuğba Sunguroğlu.
The movie is expected to be released this year. Work on the İlk Göktürk has reached the final stage. The actors continue their reading rehearsals just before they go to the set.

Advent Reflections: Love 2
—Luke 1:26-38 (TNIV)
Yesterday we looked at the biblical concept of love. We noted that the biblical notion of love typically manifests itself in action and is not sappy or sentimental in nature. Neither is it driven by hormones. We also observed that because humans and God are not equals, our love for God typically manifests itself in obedience to him and service to others. We love God, in a significant way, by loving others. In today’s Gospel lesson we have a classic case study in love. Here we see the announcement of God’s mighty and eternal plan to redeem his people and save them from their sin. By entering our history and taking on our flesh, God shows his great love for us by doing the impossible for us—bearing the consequences for our sins on the cross and making it possible for us to live with him forever. I can think of no greater or more wondrous expression of God’s love for us than this.
How is God calling you to love him? Do you know him well enough so that you trust him the way Mary did?

Down in the South, game day isn’t just another ordinary day, it’s a way of life. Every college game day, we start prepping pretty early in the morning for all of that day’s food and drinks. Whenever we prep, we always shop at Kroger for the big game. You might be wondering why I shop with Kroger? Well, I can get everything I need in a moment’s notice and I only have to make one stop! I don’t have to go to multiple stores to find what I’m looking for. We LOVE football and spending the day together as a family. It can be difficult to know how to put a game day celebration together that everyone loves, however, that’s my specialty and I’m excited to share with you how to make the day extra special.
#1. Lots of food.
You can’t call it College game day in the south without tons of great food. I actually take requests from my kids and hubby for game day. They tell me what foods they would like for that game and if I can make it, I do. They appreciate the special foods and I love making it for them. The recipe I made for a recent game was Buffalo Chicken Pasta Salad. This recipe is absolutely delicious and is great for game day. We love to have spicy things on game day and this Buffalo Chicken Pasta Salad recipe paired with Dr Pepper® is a must.
#2. Lots of Dr Pepper® & great foods.
There is only room for one drink in this household on game day and that’s Dr Pepper®! Every game day I head to Kroger and stock up on our favorite drink. It’s always been a tradition in our household because it’s our favorite beverage. There’s just something about the taste that makes it the perfect game day drink! Not only do we have Dr Pepper® as our favorite drink on game day, I love to pair it with a good recipe.
#3. Family time.
As you know, family time is so limited nowadays! It’s so important to spend time together as a family. My little family knows that game day is family day. We all sit down and watch the game together and we all love it. I love taking lots and lots of pictures. It is fun to look back on all of the game days we have had together as a family and how it has made us lots of positive memories. I encourage you to do the same. It’s a fun time to watch the game, but it’s also fun to all be in the same room together.
#4. A little rivalry.
A way we have fun on game day is by showing our team spirit. We LOVE to showcase our favorite teams by wearing jerseys and painting our faces. If any of our friends love the other teams, we love inviting them over for a little game day rivalry. Trust me, this makes the game even more fun! The kids love having people over and it’s just a good day all around. When it comes to football, the more people we have over, the better!
Here is my famous Buffalo Chicken Pasta Salad recipe we get to enjoy on college game day.
Cook, drain and rinse the pasta with cold water. Set aside.
In a large bowl, mix the buffalo sauce with the ranch and add the chicken. Mix well.
Stir in the onion, celery and carrot.
Mix in the pasta until combined well.
The pasta can be served right away or chilled. It is really personal preference. If making it ahead, reserve some buffalo and ranch sauce to mix in before serving. Some pasta salad can become a bit dry after sitting over night.

Our weekly roundup of the local news this week includes donkeys evicted from Tuesday Market, American couple in a lucky escape, cops take to bikes, mural created and an alternative to the ASBO dished out.
The owners of both donkeys took their animals to the Tuesday market as part of an exercise to give out invitations to the wedding.
A crowd quickly gathered and photographs were taken before the Council’s Zabita arrived and ordered the donkeys out.
“It isn’t safe to have donkeys in the market” was the justification.
But not so long ago the market would have been full of donkeys, indeed in the more remote parts of the country that is still the case.
Luckily neither of the couple were seriously injured and they intend to continue with their holiday in Turkey.
The local Chief of Police intends to get his deskbound personnel out and about to combat crime in the summer season, and believes the best way to do it is to get them on their bikes.
We await photos of police pedalling from readers.
Turkish artist Ali Rıza Başarır was in town this week creating a mega mural displaying Fethiye’s Lycian roots.
The work, some 350 square metres in total, was painted in one day by this self taught artist who failed at school and ended up working in a brick factory.
Now he exhibits his work all over Turkey and created this week’s mega effort on the terrace at Kale Park restaurant.
On Tuesday the police seized seven women, some with babies, who were begging in the market, loaded them into the back of an open truck and drove them out of town.

While most youngsters associate Halloween with scary masks, costumes and lots of candy, Braylen Carwell got much more than he bargained for this year: neither trick nor a treat, but hospital treatment for a meth overdose.
A five-year-old boy has reportedly for Halloween.
Carwell, a native of Ohio, had a seizure after returning home from collecting sweets on Halloween. According to WBNS-TV, the boy was also unable to move both his arms and legs, at which point he was rushed to hospital by his parents.

Little Braylen told WBNS news that, "r. And then I couldn't move my arm or my fingers. Until I got to the doctor's and I was sitting for a little bit and then I could move my hand but not my fingers."
Initially, both Braylen's parents and doctors were clueless as to what had happened. The doctors quickly ran the necessary tests on only to discover that  Ur for Halloween
Miss Pence added that she is aware that some people may be suspicious of her, but insisted she is not hiding anything: "I'm not covering up the truth. I'm just speaking the truth of what happened to my son, yesterday. Nobody in my family or [Braylen's] dad's family would drug my children. It's your duty to protect your children from everything. You can't protect them from everything. You just have to be aware and do the best that you can," Ms Pence said.

We demonstrate a 10.7-eV (λ = 115.6 nm) laser with mW levels of average power and a 1-MHz repetition rate, which was driven by the third harmonic radiation (THG), at 347 nm, of an Yb:fiber chirped pulse amplifier (CPA) laser. The 347 nm ultraviolet radiation was obtained by frequency conversion of the high power output of a 1-MHz Yb:fiber CPA, using beta barium borate (BBO) nonlinear crystals. The frequency converted output was focused down into a gas cell filled with a mixture of Ar and Xe, and was subjected to a second THG frequency conversion. The generated 10.7-eV laser was separated from the fundamental beam using a LiF prism and no further separation from other harmonic waves was required. The highest measured output power was ~80 μW, which corresponded to an average power of ~1.25 mW inside the gas cell when the transmission coefficients of the LiF optics were taken into account. The corresponding conversion efficiency from 347 nm down to 115.6 nm was ~2.5 × 10−4.
Laser  unique technique in condensed matter research and is used to explores [1,2]. To effectively probe materials, vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) and extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) lasers, which have photon energies that are greater than the work functions, have to be employed. Usually, the well-established Ti:Sapphire laser is used as the fundamental driver and is combined with nonlinear crystals or rare gases for frequency conversion, to provide such kind of light sources [3–6]. Due to the severity of thermal effects of Ti:Sapphire crystals at high average powers (exceeding 10 W), the available repetition rate is limited to a few tens of kilohertz (~kHz), however, to efficiently carry out space-charge-free measurements by limiting the number of emitted electrons per pulse, the repetition rate needs to be higher [7,8].
In recent years, enabled by newly-developed ytterbium (Yb) doped s, which typically can be operated with repetition rates ranging from 100 kHz to 100 MHz [9–11], high repetition rate single pass high harmonics generation (HHG) based VUV or EVU lasers have gained popularity. In this respect, remarkable progress has been made [12–17] as illustrated by the following examples: 0.5 mW of output power at 8.32 eV was achieved with a repetition rate of 10 MHz [12], 0.143 mW at 30 eV was obtained with a repetition rate of 0.6 MHz [13], 50 μW at 27.7 eV was realized with a repetition rate of 10 MHz [14], 0.8 mW at 21.6 eV was attained with a repetition rate of 0.12 MHz [15], 1 μW at 50 eV was reached with a repetition rate of 0.1 MHz [16], and 1 μW at 68.6 eV was secured with a repetition rate of 0.1 MHz [17]. However, the photon energy of 20~100 eV corresponds to the minimum inelastic mean free path of electrons (typically ~0.5-1 nm), which makes ARPES highly surface sensitive [1,18,19]. While this is beneficial in surface science, it presents itself as a drawback when studying bulk-physics properties of a medium, such as superconductivity. To improve the bulk sensitivity of ARPES the photon energy could be increased to a few thousands of eV, but this would come at the expense of high energy and momentum resolution. Another solution might be to use low photon energies to increase the bulk sensitivity. This would allow a mean free path of ~1-5 nm and has been demonstrated in [1,2] using a ~7 eV laser, however, this photon energy was only sufficient to access a limited momentum space. Therefore, in order to simultaneously both access the entire first Brillouin Zone (BZ) and allow good bulk sensitivity, increasing the photon energy to >10 eV is necessary [20]. A concomitant benefit is the ability to use Lithium Fluoride (LiF) optics, which have a cut-off edge at ~12 eV. Thus the energy window of 10~12 eV is a region that could allow high bulk sensitivity and that does not require super high vacuum operation.
Over 40 years ago, the effective generation of a 10.49 eV (λ = 118.2 nm) laser was demonstrated by A. H. Kung et al. [21,22], and the system was based on a 25 ps laser that had undergone a non-resonant third harmonic generation (THG) in a Xe/Ar gas mixture. The conversion efficiency was as high as 1.4 × 10−3, but the repetition rate was only 1 Hz [21,22]. Subsequently, similar systems were widely adopted and used for mass spectroscopy [23,24], however they all had low repetition rates limited by the used nanosecond high energy Nd:YAG lasers or dye lasers, typically on the order of magnitude of tens of Hz. Only recently, high repetition rate cases have been reported [19,20,25]. M. H. Berntsen et al. reported on a 10.5 eV laser for ARPES experiments, which was driven by a 10-ps 355-nm Nd:YVO4 laser with a repetition rate of 0.2 MHz [19]. The power at 10.5 eV was ~15 μW and the conversion efficiency was ~10−6. Limited by the Nd:YVO4 gain medium itself, the pulse duration could not be further decreased. Using the resonant method, Y. He et al. reported on a 10.897 eV laser with sub-nanosecond pulse durations and a high repetition rate of 10 MHz [20], which delivered an average power of ~3.5 μW, corresponding to a conversion efficiency of ~10−6. This source led to a high energy resolution thanks to the relatively longer pulse duration, but it was not applicable to time resolved ARPES (tr-ARPES). Consequently, the same group proposed to develop an 11.271 eV source using a 1-MHz Ti:sapphire femtosecond laser as the driver and based on the resonant method as usual [26], however such a system has yet to be reported. F. Cilento et al. reported on a 9.3 eV source pumped by a 0.25-MHz frequency doubled Ti:sapphire laser. An average power of 1.2 nW was ob9 [25]. This low efficiency was because of the fact, that the used rare gas Xe has normal dispersion at the generated wavelength of 9.3 eV, where phase matched THG cannot occur. Instead, a higher nonlinear process was involved, leading to a significantly lower conversion efficiency. Indeed, the dispersion properties of the involved rare gases play an important role in fulfilling the phase matching condition of the THG process [27–29]. For the frequently used fundamental driver wavelength of 355 nm, Xe has negative dispersion at its THG wavelength of 118 nm, which is also the reason why the efficiency reported in [20] and [21] was much higher than that stated in [25]. R. A. Ganeev et al. investigated the wavelength regions where the dispersion in Xe is negative [30–32]. When the wavelength of the driver is within 340.5~351 nm and 352.8~357.6 nm, effective THG can take place. Outside these regions, where Xe has positive dispersion, THG is possible, but the mechanism involved is different [25,33,34], which is six wave mixing [25]. As a result, the conversion efficiency is significantly lower, typically on the order of magnitude of ~10−10-10−9. Other rare gases and metal vapors also have their own negative dispersion regions, which favor the THG process over various different and specific wavelength regions [35]. Therefore, to the best of our knowledge, a high average power ~10-12 eV VUV femtosecond laser source using a gas with a negative dispersion for non-resonant THG has yet to be reported.
In this manuscript, we report on an mW-level single order harmonic generation at 10.7 eV (λ = 115.6 nm). A 1-MHz femtosecond Yb:fiber chirped pulse amplifier (CPA) was used as the pump for THG with BBO crystals, which led to a 347-nm UV laser driver for non-resonant THG in a Xe/Ar gas mixture that featured a negative dispersion at the target wavelength. The generated 10.7-eV laser beam was separated from the fundamental driver light using a LiF prism and no additional separation from the radiation of others harmonics was necessary. Using a VUV photodiode, the power was measured to be ~80 μW, which suggested an average power of ~1.25 mW in the gas cell when taking the transmission coefficients of the LiF opticswas 2.5 × 10−4. More specifically, the femtosecond pulse duration and 1 MHz repetition rate could ensure high statistics tr-ARPES in an almost space-charge-free capacityhe 10.7 eV laser source. It consisted of three sub-systems: a high power 1-MHz Yb:fiber CPA laser system, a first THG frequency stage using BBO crystals, and a second THG frequency stage using a Xe/Ar gas mixture.

The fundamental laser was a 100-W Yb-fiber CPA laser system built in-house, which had a repetition rate of 1 MHz and a pulse duration of 270 fs. A brief description is given here and more details can be found in [36]. The CPA system started out as a 64-MHz mode locked fiber oscillator, the output of which was directed to a grating stretcher to stretch the pulse duration to ~1 ns. After that, the pulse repetition rate was lowered to 1 MHz using a fiber coupled acousto-optic modulator (AOM). Multi-stage fiber amplifiers were then used to increase the average power to 120 W. Finally, the pulses were compressed using large-scale dielectric transmission gratings, which led to an average power of 100 W and a pulse duration of 270 fs.
To generate the third harmonic of the fundamental laser light, its second harmonic was firstly generated. As shown in the Fig. 1, after the beam passed through a power controller, which was composed of a polarization beam splitter (PBS) and a half wave plate (HWP), the laser radiation was softly focused down by a lens with a focal length of 1000 mm. Another HWP, situated before the lens, was used to adjust the polarization direction of the incident beam. A 1-mm thick BBO crystal cut at an angle of θ = 23.4˚ to allow type-I phase matching was used for frequency doubling. Both surfaces of the BBO crystal were coated with protective coating due to its low dispersion and high laser damage threshold. For precise adjustment, the BBO crystal was installed on a stage which could be rotated, tilted, and linearly moved along the axis of propagation of the incident beam. Finally, the generated green light was separated from the fundamental one using two dichroic mirrors (HR coated at 520 nm, AR coated at 1040 nm), which are not shown in Fig. 1. Aftewas optimized, a second BBO crystal was introduced in the setup to generate the third harmonic wave at 347 nm. The 1-mm thick BBO crystal was cut at an angle of θ = 40.1˚ to allow type-II phase matching and it also had a protective coating. In the same way as the BBO crystal used for SHG, the one used for THGtranslated along the direction of propagation of the beam. The generated UV laser beam was separated from the fundamental and green ones using two dichroic mirrors M3 and M4 (HR coated at 347 nm, AR coated at 1040 nm and 520 nm).
Once the third harmonic wave at 347 nm was generated, it was directed to the gas cell using two mirrors, M5 and M6, for steering. A lens with focal length of 150 mm was used to tightly focus the UV laser down into the center of the gas cell and a HWP was used to adjust the polarization direction. The input end of the gas cell was fitted with an AR coated UVFS window (4 mm in thickness) and the output end was sealed with a LiF window (1 mm in thickness). Apart from those two windows, the gas cell featured another four openings which were used for observation, the introduction of the rare gas, and for monitoring the gas pressure, none of which are shown in the diagram of Fig. 1. To make the system compact, the gas cell was attached directly onto the vacuum chamber. Two gas cylinders (Ar and Xe) were connected with the gas cell, which could be controlled separately for filling it. The generated harmonics and fundamental wave propagated collinearly through the LiF window, a LiF lens with a focal length of 200 mm, and a LiF prism with an apex angle of 63.9˚. After the prism, the generated third harmonic was separated from the fundamental UV beam, while other higher order harmonic waves were not transmitted by the LiF optics. The separation angle was calculated to be 19.0˚. The remaining fundamental UV laser radiation was directed to a beam dump. The generated harmonic wave was first made to be incident to a fluorescence plate for observation. After ensuring the generation of the harmonic wave, the fluorescence plate was removed from the beam path and the average power could be measured with a XUV photodiode (AXUV100G, OptoDiode Corp).
This sectionose of the SHG, the THG and the generation of the 10.7 eV laser.
Figure 2(a) shows the power performance of the 520 nm laser. When the incident power at 1040 nm was approximately 90 W, over 44 W of green laser power was obtained and the SHG conversion efficiency was of 49%. The inset of Fig. 2(a) is the spectrum of the output at 520 nm (taken with a HR4000 spectrometer, 0.26 nm resolution, Ocean Optics), where the bandwidth was of ~3 nm. This corresponded to a transform limited pulse duration of 132 fs when Δt·Δυ = 0.44 is considered. A pulse duration measurement of the 520 nm output was carried out using an auto-correlator and a 1-mm thick BBO crystal (type I, θ = 49.3°) for rough estimation. The pulse duration was measured to be approximately 200 fs. However, it should be noted that thinner crystal should be used for precise characterization of pulse duration. We also tested a lithium triborate (LBO) crystal for SHG, but tthe BBO crystal used. Figure 2(b) shows the power performance of the 347 nm laser. An average power of 10 W was obtained when the fundamental power was 70 W, corresponding to a conversion efficiency of 14% from the fundamental beam up to 347 nm one. To further improve the conversion efficiency, time delay compensation plate could be considered in the future. In the experiment, the HWP placed before the BBO crystal for SHG was adjusted for an optimal power ratio between the 1040 nm and the 520 nm laser beams. The inset of Fig. 2(b) is the spectrum of the 347 nm output which had a bandwidth of ~1.8598 fs when Δt·Δυ = 0.44 was considered. Although the real pulse duration of the UV laser was not characterized experimentally, we do not expect significant pulse duration broadening.

When the UV laser was focused down into the gas cell without any gas loaded in, nothing was observed in the gas cell and no beam cross-section was visible on the fluorescence plate. Then, Xe gas was introduced into the gas cell with gradually increasing pressures. When the incident power was ~5 W, bright plasma was observed, as shown in Fig. 3(a) which was acquired over an integration time of 1 s. Figure 3 (b) shows a picture of the plasma when both Xe and Ar gases were present in the cell which was acquired over an integration time of 5 s and at an incident power of ~5 W.
Fig. 3 Photographs of the plasma generated in the gas cell. In case (a), the gas was Xe alone. In case (b), the gas was a mixture of Xe and Ar. The laser direction was from left to right.
With respect to the power of the 10.7 eV laser, it was measured with a XUV photodiode. The results are shown in Fig. 4. In this case, the incident UV power was approximately 5 W (as measured after the M4 mirror) and the beam diameter ~5 mm. The focused beam diameter was calculated to be ~16 μm with a lens of 150-mm focal length. The UV laser pulse duration was estimated to <500 fs at most and the peak power intensity was determined to be ~5 × 1012 W/cm2. From Fig. 4, we can observe two regions. The left “Xe gas” region corresponded to the instance when only Xe gas was present in the cell, and the right “Ar gas” region corresponded to the case where both Xe and Ar gases were loaded into the cell. When only the Xe gas was introduced into the cell, the power of the 10.7 eV laser firstly increased and then decreased back down to almost zero. This was due to the phase matching of the frequency conversion process being linked to the gas density and the optimal pressure was inversely proportional to the confocal parameter, b, of the focused fundamental beam [37]. Thus, with tighter focusing, the optimal pressure should shift towards larger values. Three lenses of varying focal lengths 100 mm, 150 mm and 200 mm, were tried and the above-mentioned shift in optimal pressure was observed. The inset Fig. 4(a) shows the typical beam profile on the fluorescence plate acquired in the presence of Xe alone in the gas cell. To relax the limitations of the usable maximum Xe gas density, other positively dispersive buffer gases with negligible nonlinearities could be used to mix with Xe in order to simultaneously allow higher pressures of Xe in the gas cell and more optimal phase matching conditions [21,35]. Therefore, after the power of the 10.7 eV laser decreased to zero, the gas cell containing Xe gas was loaded with just Ar gas. With the increased gas pressure inside the cell, the power of the 10.7 eV laser increased once more, reaching a second peak power of ~80 μW, which was achieved with a mixed gas pressure of 2.2 mbar. After this peak, further increasing the Ar gas pressure led the average power of the 10.7 eV laser to decrease back down to zero. The inset Fig. 4(bwhen both Xe and Ar gases are present in the cell. It is visibly much brighter than that of inset Fig. 4(a).
To calculate the real power of the 10.7 eV laser inside the gas cell, the transmission coefficients of the LiF optics have to be taken into account. The transmittance as specified by the manufacture, was expected to be 55% for wavelengths >120 nm, but no data for wavelengths below 120 nm was provided. In addition, we noticed that in [19], it was mentioned that LiF optics had a transmittance of 20%~40% at 118.2 nm [19]. Thus, the estimation of the power of the 10.7 eV laser beam inside the gas cell, using a transmission coefficient of 40%, is within a reasonable region of acceptance. Since three pieces of LiF optical components were used (an LiF window with a thickness of 1 mm, an LiF lens with a center thickness of 2.57 mm and an LiF prism), the average power of the 10.7 eV laser inside the gas cell was conservatively estimated to be 80/(0.4 × 0.4 × 0.4) = 1250 μW. This corresponded to a conversion efficiency of 2.5 × 10−4 from a 347 nm beam down to a 115.6 nm one.
In the following section, a summary of selected best results of VUV and EUV lasers with repetition rate higher than 0.1 MHz is made to illustrate in which category our laser system falls into, as well as the general tendency in the development of high repetition rate (>0.1 MHz) VUV and EUV laser sources, especially those based on SHG or SFG using Potassium Fluoroboratoberyllate (KBBF) crystals and HHG in rare gases. Furthermore, we will discuss how to improve our system in terms of the average power and the repetition rate scaling.
Figure 5 shows the summary diagram. There are three unmarked threads running through the figure, which are labeled in blue triangles, red squares and black circles, to indicate KBBF crystal based VUV sources [38–40], sources based on HHG using a femtosecond enhancement cavity (fsEC) [12,41–44], and sources employing single pass HHG [13–17,19, 20,25,45], respectively.
Fig. 5 A summary diagram of high repetition rate (>0.1 MHz) VUV and EUV sources from selected publications to show the general trendsoutrespectively. fsEC, femtosecond enhancement cavity; SP-HHG, single pass high harmonic generation; NC, nonlinear compression; NC-2, two stages of nonlinear compression. Note: not all related papers are included here.
For KBBF crystals based VUV lasers, the typical pump sources were picosecond lasers with high repetition rate (>1 MHz) [38–40]. However, the achievable photon energy region was limited to a little above 8 eV, owing to the transmission properties of KBBF crystals. Like that shown in Fig. 5, as the photon energy approaches the KBBF cut-off edge, the yield decreases rapidly.
To obtain higher photon energies and inherit the full repetition rate of the oscillator, external enhancement cavity was adopted, which allows the photon energy to range between 8.32 eV to 108 eV with repetition rates that span over 10 MHz to 250 MHz [12,41–44]. However, according to Fig. 5, it seems with this method, the achieved average power for photon energies beyond 50 eV is rather limited (<1 μW), and further extension to the soft-X ray region has not been demonstrated.
Although fsECs have demonstrated to be the superior option for HHG at very high repetition rates, they do not easily operate continuously over long periods of time. Meanwhile, for high average powers (100~1000 W) and high repetition rates (0.1-100 MHz), Yb-doped ultrafast lasers seem to dominate and they enable high repetition rate single pass HHG (SP-HHG) experiments to be carried out. In Fig. 5, the point indicated with a significantly bigger black circle is used to show where our developed laser falls in the diagram. It can be seen that the high repetition rate SP-HHG is able to cover the entire photon energy range from ~9 eV to 350 eV [13–17,19,20,25,45]. Compared with the results of fsEC lasers, the extension into the soft-X ray region has been achieved, however the repetition rate is typically 10~100 times smaller. Within the region between the cut-off edges of both KBBF crystals and LiF optics, all four results (including this work) were not typical HHG. Although they made use of rare gases as the nonlinear interaction medium, the mechanism was based on THG. From ~20 eV to ~350 eV, the tendency seems to be that the average power decreases from ~mW down to ~pW, which is expected for HHG. Another point worth noting is that the repetition rates were almost below 1 MHz, aside for that reported in [14]. And almost all of these results were based on high average power post-nonlinear compressed lasers using one or two stages of compression [13–15,17,45].
The average power of our developed 10.7 eV laser is the highest between the cut-off edges of KBBF crystals and LiF optics. This is thanks to the THG in the rare Xe gas which has negative dispersion at the target wavelength. This type of mechanism relaxes the requirement of very short pulse durations, which is in turn needed to reduce the ionization level of the gas involved in HHG. Hence, moderately longer pulse durations of a few hundreds of fs could be considered to carry out the experiment, which would avoid using post-nonlinear compression iques. To further improve the power performance of the laser, one can consider shifting the center wavelength of the fundamental laser driver from 1040 nm to 1067 nm. Based on the findings in [32], it would seem an increment of two orders of magnitude could be expected. The reason for this is that the oscillator strength of the 5p6 1S-7s [11/2]0 (λ = 117.0 nm) is weaker than that of the 5p6 1S-5d [11/2]0 (λ = 119.2 nm) [32]. In addition, considering the fact the efficiency is high, one could increase the repetition rate from 1 MHz to 10 MHz, while maintaining a pulse energy on the order of a few ~μJ, which would further facilitate the experiments that require high repetition rates and improve the a high repetition rate driven by a 1-MHz 347-nm UV femtosecond Yb:fiber CPA pump laser which was based on non-resonant THG in a gas mixture of Xe/Ar. This VUV laser source could greatly facilitate ARPES experiments in terms of a wider coverage of the first BZ due to the suitable photon energy, and improve the measurement statistics resulting from the high repetition rate of 1 MHz. The ways in which to improve the power performance was also discussed. We expect higher average powers could be obtained by slightly shifting the driver wavelength.

Celebrating the Life and Ministry of Ms. Virginia Provence
by billnieporte on Wednesday, September 30th, 2015 | No Comments
The God of the Old People – Isaiah 46:4
(Mrs. Virginia Provence was cutting edge before anyone knew there was an edge. A teacher, preacher, campus ministry worker, loving spouse, and devoted mother – she epitomizes what it means to be a true servant of God. She is an unsung hero for Virginia Baptist.)
Well, Virginia did not make it to age 100. That would have happened in January 16, 2016. Her grand-daughter Hannah Provence, who lives in England, had contacted and arranged with Buckingham Palace for a special recognition from Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth. Virginia greatly admired the Queen. Though she seldom gives such honors to those outside the United Kingdom, Her Majesty was impressed by Hannah’s account of her grandmother’s life and intended to offer such a honor on Virginia this coming January.
One of the stories I like sharing about Virginia involves an encounter I had shortly after becoming pastor at Patterson Avenue Baptist. She invited our family to a formal dinner in her house. It was a wonderful gesture.
Now, many of you know that Virginia was educated at the “Women’s Missionary Training Center” of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. But she just spoke about that, she simply said she was a student of the seminary.
After dinner, we retired to her living room. She told us about her husband, their ministry together, and the many places she had visited in her life.
In that discussion, she showed me a copy of her husband’s graduation picture from Southern Seminary. She spoke with fondness for professors who taught both she and her husband, men like A.T. Robertson, and Hersey Davis. Then she asked if I had ever met any of them.
Miss Virginia was a very old at the time of her death, but until a year ago, or so, she lived a fairly healthy life. Her hearing was about gone…but she just kept plugging along otherwise. That’s when a decline became readily noticeable. That decline was punctuated just months ago, when she had a stroke that put her in a nursing care facility. Eventually she regained enough health that she was able to return home, where her Stanton and Kay did a great job caring for her needs.
You could always count on Virginia to smile. She was a happy soul and contented woman – and why not? She had lived a good life, a blessed life, a life of faith and confidence in God’s amazing grace.
Virginia was a smart woman. She was an avid reader, especially astute in subjects related to global, national, and church history. Theologically, she’d had been well trainedput this knowledge to work, not just as the wife of a pastor, but as minister in her own right.
When she and her husband (affectionately known as “Doc”) started work at the first Baptist Camus Ministry at Virginia Tech (then known at VPI), there were many requests for “Doc” to go preach at area churches. Some Sundays there were more than one request, so “Doc” would go to one church and Virginia would go to a different church, with the aim to elicit support for the student ministries.
“They use to say that I had come to give ‘a talk,’” she said. “When I gave ‘a talk,’ I would read the Bible, tell them what it meant, and then I would tell them to do what it said. That’s not just giving a ‘talk’ is it, pastor? That’s preaching a sermon!”
“Yes ma’a,m,” I replied. “That’s preaching a sermon!”
(Virginia Provence) graduated from Longwood College in ’38, and headed to the WMU Training School in Louisville, KY, where she met a Southern Seminary student, I. Erfurt Provence, Jr., of Texas. The couple married in 1942, and Erfurt entered his first pastorate on a field in Caroline County which included Salem and Mt. Hermon Baptist churches. It was her first experience in the country side. “Erfurt had never made a fire in his life,” laughs Virginia, “and the parsonage had a woodstove in every room. He had to learn to chop wood, make a fire and take care of hens.”
Virginia remembers walking across the pasture to the home where she got milk. “I always watched to see where the cows were gathering and went out of my way to avoid them.”
Sometime in 1949, Ralph Winders, the head of student ministry for the Virginia Baptist Mission Board, contacted Provence regarding student work at Virginia Tech. Erfurt made the trip to Blacksburg only to discover that the board had secured merely a small office for the student worker and had no facility for students. Initially, he turned down the offer insisting that a student center needed to be provided. About six months later, the offer was repeated along with the news that a student center had been secured.
For 17 years, Erfurt and Virginia Provence gave steady guidance to college students. A debilitating illness forced Erfurt to take early retirement and the couple moved to Richmond in 1966. They joined Ginter Park Baptist Church in Richmond’s Northside, where Virginia had cousins. Later…while on her own…she move her membership to Patterson Avenue Baptist Church, which is nearer her West End home.
Let me call your attention back to those words from scripture99 years of Virginia lifespan were not even a drop in the bucket when held up to the great span of eternity through which God has and will continue to exist. God has no beginning and no ending. God always has been and always will be.
What was it that the prophet Isaiah wrote?
When Virginia entered this world in 1916, God was with her. God made her – called her into being.
Throughout all those 99 years of her life – it times of joy and sorrow, pain and pleasure, abundance and want – God was there to carry her – to sustain her.
Then just a few days ago, four months shy of her 100 birthday, God was there to carry her into his heavenly presence.
For people who have placed their confidence in Jesus Christ, death is a rescue from this world into His heavenly kingdom.
Wherever you stand right now on this journey of life—if you feel like you are just starting out, or that you are nearing the end of the road, please know this: Almighty God was with you are the beginning of the journey and He will remain with you, calling you to come to God by His grace through faith. If you choose to receive that gracious mercy which he offers, you can be sure that one day God will one day rescue you through death into eternal life in His presence.

I note that entire blocks are flattened. Here, there is no one who'll rebuild. I learn from Amran that two whole villages were wiped out by the tsunamis. I also find out that when the SAF arrived in Meulaboh, they were retrieving bodies from the streets and off of trees.
A man sees Amran's uniform and approaches us. He tells Amran that there is a body near his house. Or so he thinks. He cannot be sure because no one can spot it. But the smell of death is unmistakable. He asks if we could help him - he fears disease and infection; he fears for his family. He takes us to the spot. In the mess of fallen coconut trees and the wooden debris of smashed huts, the stench of rotting decomposition fills our senses. But we do not spot the body.
After a while, we retreat from the spot. He tells us that most of the families in this particular block survived, though not the ethnic Chinese family at the end of the street. That entire family was lost, he says matter-of-factly. He tells us that rebuilding is difficult because the infrastructure is no longer there. They have no water, nor electricity nor a functioning sewage system. They lack the materials to properly rebuild. And the streets here, I see, are choked with the same mud from the school.
Amran promises to notify the relevant authorities about his concerns and about the body and we leave to him to his current preoccupation.
We were about to see our first body.


Now 20 games into the 2019 MLB season, baseball fans start to get a better idea of exactly what each team is. There are a few surprises as well as some of the usual suspects atop the divisions as we head into the last full week in April.
If you need a quick refresher on how an MLB survivor pool works, click here for a simple rundown of how to play. And remember, we come out with weekly picks to try to help you stay alive as long as possible.
With that in mind, here are three survivor baseball picks for Week 4 of the MLB season.
While the Chicago White Sox aren't exactly juggernauts, they do have a seemingly easy schedule this week. They play a three-game series with the Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards, and then three more with the Detroit Tigers at home. The White Sox split a two-game set with Detroit earlier this season, but home-field advantage could give them the edge here. At least a of their six games split looks feasible this week.
The Philadelphia Phillies are another team with what looks like a pretty easy schedule this week. The Phillies open up the week playing three at home against the New York Mets, who are without ace Jacob DeGrom. They also won't see Noah Syndergaard in the series as he pitched on Sunday against the Cardinals. While that's likely to be a tough series, the Phillies then get to play four games against the worst team in baseball, the Miami Marlins, at home.
The Atlanta Braves are one of the better teams in MLB and they face two teams who are under .500 this week. The Braves will play a three-game series at the Cincinnati Reds, before returning home to face the Colorado Rockies. With the Reds and Rockies both struggling to start the 2019 season, Atlanta could dominate their slate of games this week.

For man away from entering into the mystery for fear of falling if we get too close to the cliff’s edge?
A mystery is not simply an unsolvable problem. As Christians, we may have gained a bad reputation for saying things like, “The Trinity is a mystery” and then smiling to the person looking back at us, thinking, ‘isn’t that an easy out!’
We do not have a sacramental worldview today and therefore may struggle to fully grasp this idea. Fr. Khaled in the above link likens it to the sacrament of consciousness. How does a body and brain connect in such a fashion that we come to be self-aware?

The beautiful text above is one many of us are familiar with, either for its moral injunction to love our neighbour or for the encouraging phrase, “God is love”. But is this all that this text teaches us about Who God is and, therefore, who we are?
“or?… [yet made], why don’t they recognize tstupiditfor the Word [Logos] —for this must be repeated…
“”
This is St. Athanasius telling us that there must be something in God that is consistent with His creating the cosmos. How is it that we can understand the idea that it must be like this?…
St. Paul is not saying that he is evil or depraved by nature. Rather, being good by nature, and willing to do the good, he does evil. This of course is true of us all. If someone who is good by nature instead does evil, what is causing this disjunction?
“IGod has nothing to gain by creating the human being. He will not be made any greater, any more powerful, any happier…
7 thoughts on “The Trinitarian Foundation of Creation and Salvation”
“God is existence…”
It is truly beautiful, isnt it!
““God has always existed and he always will exist: or to put it better, God always exists. In fact ‘past’ and future’ express the fragments of duration as we know it, gliding naturally along. But he, God, is external Existence and this is the name that he gives himself when he reveals the future to Moses on the mountain. He actually contains in Himself all being, that which had no being and will have no end, what I would call an ocean of being without limit and without e. …ed, just as a sudden flash of lightning strikes our eyes; and that, in my opinion, is so that he may draw us to himself in proportion to the understanding we have of him…
It is amazing to consider that The Son comes that we may be sons. We read these words often but don’t grasp that this is our entry into the intra-trinitarian naming. As He is Son by nature, so we become sons by grace through the imparting of The Spirit. So of course this is the communion of love that we are enfolded into!
Michael, your poetic reflections very beautifully bring out the richness of these ideas so thank YOU for them!
Thank you. I’m thinking about all of this!


Britney Spears impressed by Colton Haynes' onstage dance skills
Britney Spears led the Arrow star around on a leash at hermpressed-by-colton-haynes-onstage-dance-skills-3497837.ece/9229f/AUTOCROP/h342/cover_media_cmgd5c6693b-3483-4f6b-85fb-c420397e253b_0
Britney Spears was left impressed by Colton Haynes' dance skills and good looks after she invited the actor to join her onstage in Las Vegas.
The Arrow hunk had a night to remember on Wednesday (17Aug16) when he was chosen to be the target of the pop star's performance of Freakshow at her Planet Hollywood concert residency.
During the song, she put a harness around Colton and tied a leash around his neck before leading him across the stage like a dog.
Colton later took to Instagram to share a short clip of his once-in-a-lifetime performance with Britney, writing, "Still in shock haha. Made my Vegas debut with @britneyspears What the hell just happened!!!??? So cool!!!"
Colton isn't the first star to be tied up by Britney on stage - she previously performed the stunt with guests such as Lance Bass, Nicole Richie, Perez Hilton and A.J. McLean.


I love it when my hair coils! Sometimes my hair forms little circle shaped coils on the ends after I have had it shingled and stretched for a few days. I also notice that the Kiss My Face Gel seems to encourage this behavior more so than the other staple gels I like (eco styler and Fantasia). KMF is fast solidifying its place as the front runner.
You are so pretty and I swear you rock natural hair like no other! Does the KMF gel make your hair hard and crunchy when doing wash n go's or twist outs???? Eco does for me so I'm trying Fantasia.
I COMPLETELY get it!! My hair does the same thing and its just something about it that makes it look SO pretty.
I'm 4 months into transitioning and I love to run my fingers over my curly roots. Can't wait til I'm 100% natural. Ur pics are very inspiring.

The regime began with the Zimmerman case which resulted in a series of assults by black youths on completely innocent whites,"hispanics", and asians who were either targeted or wandered near or through black gang infested areas. The perpetators excuse; The reported "cold blood killing of Treyvon Martin because he was black"
It led to a score or more deaths and serious injuries which were treated as local news ignored and forgotten. And it was met with silence while this was happening. Neither the locqatious POTUS or his political opposition uttered as much as a "Now!Now!or a "tsk!tsk!
Naturally when it was discovered that mention of those score of murders were used in this nut cases's "manifesto" the reaction was....
