Midwinter Solstice 2003 Liturgy
Beginning – call (Maxine)
The earth is turning!
Puanga (Rigel) is our marker star – beautiful and bright, it signals the beginning of the New Year in the Southern hemisphere.
Matariki is our Herald!
Pipiri, is the first month, where all things on earth contract because of the cold, including the people.
Let us “pipiri “ cling together from out of the cold, tell the stories of our ancient customs, our old people, let us feast on the plenty in our store cupboards.
Greet those in the room you haven’t talked to yet, and share what you know about the winter solstice. Drink your mulled wine and before we start the dinner we will tell of some of the ancient customs of our forebears.
(1) Neolithic Societies. (Jo)
In the old Neolithic societies of Europe, winter solstice was a significant time.
· The wise ones went to a great deal of trouble to ascertain the exact moment of solstice, often using stone circles to help them to mark both the turning of the sun and the position of the moon at that point.
· It is thought that people took part in ring dances on the sites of the stone circles, as well as rituals to encourage the awakening of the sun and the life-force within themselves.
· Winter solstices continued to be an important festival in the agricultural societies of Europe.
· For the six preceding months darkness had increased, stealing light from the margins of the day. It seemed as if life itself was being swallowed up.
· Then a significant event occurred: the sun turned. Light was re-born to the world, and after a few days the change was discernible to all.
· The rebirth of the sun marked the vital moment of renewed hope, when continuity of life for crops, animals, and people was assured.
In the Middle East, winter solstice was symbolized by the birth of a divine male child from the dark womb of the Goddess.
· There was no father, as the Goddess herself was all-sufficient.
Priests announced the event in dramatic rituals:
· In Syria they emerged from underground cave shrines at midnight, announcing: The Virgin Goddess has brought forth! The light increases!
· In Egypt they held up the image of an infant for all the worshippers to see, and cried out: Here is the sun child of the Heavenly Goddess. Let us celebrate his birth!
· In Persia they celebrated the goddess Aargatis’s birthing of the sun god Mithra, who was known as the Unconquered Sun and whose birthday fell on 25th December, the time when the increased light was perceptible.
· The child of light had many names: Horus, Osiris, Helios, Dionysus, Aeon.
(2) Rome (Jim)
· These ancient traditions were reflected in the solstice festivals of Rome.
· December was a quieter month in terms of work, with most of the ploughing and sowing over, leaving time at last to relax.
· From 17 to 23 December Romans celebrated the birthday of the Unconquered One in the Feast of the Unconquered Sun, known as Saturnalia.
· Saturn was the god of agriculture and the golden age, but also of time and death.
· It was a time of high festivity, the Saturnalia being the most popular Roman festival, when “all Rome went mad.”
(3) Celtic and Anglo-Saxon Britain.
· In Celtic mythology the goddess Rhiannon gave birth to Pryderio at the darakest time and it was also the birth of the child of light, known as Mabon.
· In the old Celtic calendar, the lunar month spanning November/December was the time of the ‘Darkest depths” and that of December/January was known as the ‘Cold time”.
· For the Anglo-Saxons, winter solstice represented the triumph of one force over another, for now the Oak King, god of the waxing year, conquered the Holly King, god of the waning year. The two gods were twins, one light and one dark, who were caught in an eternal rivalry.
· Their battle came to be played out in the mumming plays of the winter solstice where the death of one character symbolizes the killing of the crops by the chill of winter, and his revival by “the doctor” symbolizes the coming of spring.
(4) Other Symbols: (Hilary)
In the winter solstice rituals of Europe Fire and greenery are two key elements- for these were what most people wanted back in their lives.
· Candles were lit to invoke fire – but the most important focus of fire symbolism was the yule-log (indicate the log) which were lit by the Druids in honour of the god Thor. Thor stood for warmth, light and the continuance of life.
· YULE, the festival of Re-birth, lasted twelve days (now known as the Twelve Days of Christmas). The name yule comes from old Saxon and Norse words meaning light or sun. it also has origins in the old Norse Iul, meaning wheel. This was the moment of the turning of the wheel of the year.
and a reminder of the greening force that surged in both vegetation and humans
Green Symbolism (Indicate wreath, greenery)
· Greenery in winter solstice rituals was brought in to celebrate the triumph of the life force.
· In Egypt a 12 leafed palm was used to symbolize the completion of the year.
· In Rome people decorated the temples with evergreens, especially holly.
· They also decorated pine or fir trees at winter solstice, with streamers, a bird, bells, and ornaments of gold and silver.
· The pine tree was the sacred tree of the vegetation god Attis, and the fir belonged to the Teutonic god Odin.
· In Britain, holly, ivy, and mistletoe stood out as rare splashes of green among the bare branches of the forest.
· Communities gathered the plants and brought them inside for decoration, not only because they were evergreen but also because they bore fruit in winter.
· Especially significant to the Druids. The way it grew high in the tree-tops without any apparent root or trunk connection to the earth made it appear magical.
· It was cut with a golden sickle and given to people to hang over their doorways. There it served as protection against death by arrows, and also against fire and lightning.
· It was said to have healing powers.
Ivy and Holly
· Ivy and Holly symbolized eternal life, because they were evergreen.
· The red holly berries were seen as drops of blood of the Teutonic goddess Hel or Holle. She was the goddess of spinning and weaving and flax cultivation and her festival was celebrated in Scandinavian countries during the twelve days around winter solstice. (Play the carol “The Holly and the Ivy”)
(5) Medieval Celebrations (Ralph)
· The rituals continued through medieval times.
· A Master of Misrule was appointed to look after the festivities. He was usually the fool or jester whose job was to keep things happy, arrange practical jokes and encourage burlesque and buffoonery.
· It was a time when people could let their hair down – but also at a deeper level to acknowledge the importance of the greening forces of nature.
· The feast could not begin without the symbolic entry of greenness – and so a participant called the Surveyor shouted out WASSAIL! (Saxon Wass Hael – to your health!.
· The guests sat silent. He then asked the most honoured guest for permission for the feast to begin. NO was the reply NOT UNTIL THE FIRST FOOT CROSSES THE THRESHOLD. The sound of bells would be heard and a dark-haired man dressed in green bounded in from the back of the hall. The feasting could begin.
· He was the Green Knight – the embodiment of the spirit of nature.
(6) CHRISTIAN EUROPE – CHRISTMAS. (Margaret)
· The Gospels say nothing about the date of the birth of Christ and it wasn’t celebrated in the early church. However the Christian in Egypt eventually came to believe he was born on 6th January, a belief that spread throughout the East until it was generally accepted by the 4th century.
· In the West a different date was adopted. This was due to a conscious decision made by Augustine and other Roman church leaders. They fixed the date at 25 December seeing the advantage of planting the Christian festival into the already fertile soil of the pagan winter solstice rituals.
· The birth of the divine Sun Child was already a feature of the mythology – it was but a small step to see Christ as the “Sun of Righteousness”..
· In early Christian Rome, where people decorated churches and houses with holly at Yule, the holly now came to signify Christmas, its prickles symbolizing Jesus’ crown of thorns and its red berries his blood.
· The berries of the “male” holly were said to protect against witches, a belief that distorted the ancient meaning of the berries as signifying the blood of the Goddess. Her own symbol was turned against her and she became the witch, a figure to be feared.
· Throughout medieval times people celebrated Christmas with high spirited revelry and feasting.
· The Puritans did not approve of these practices.
· Bringing evergreens into houses was forbidden – no Christmas trees!
· They tried to stop the pagan fun instigated by the Lord of Misrule – because of the way it mocked the Church and those in authority.
· In 1652 Christmas was abolished by Act of Parliament.
· No masses or public festivals were held until after the Restoration of the Monarchy in 1660.
· The Christmas festival as we know it did not come into being until the Victorian era.
· It was a Victorian invention, aided by Prince Albert and Charles Dickens.
· Prince Albert said to have introduced the Christmas tree in 1840 from his native Germany. There it dated back to the old pagan Yule celebrations, along with the boar’s head stuffed with apples, the lighting of candles, and the exchanging of gifts.
Matariki (Maxine) show calendar picture
For the ancient Maori the new year began on the first new moon after the rising of Matariki (the Pleiades) – show the diagram – in the Eastern sky at dawn. This constellation disappears from the sky on the waning moon of May and reappears in the tail of the Milky Way during the waning moon of June, which brings the start of the new year close to winter solstice.
Matariki is associated with the providing of food – the literal meaning of Matariki is “little eyes” referring to the appearance of this beautiful, jewel-like cluster of six or seven small stars (7 sisters).
The actual moment of first sighting could be an emotional occasion. Women would sing laments for the recent dead, for Matariki was where the dead went to after leaving the earth.
The important new year festival of celebreation and feasting would then follow, the food being offered to Matariki with invocations
“Divine Matariki, come hither from the distant heavens,
Bestow the first fruits of the year upon us.”
Ra – the sun god
Winter solstice is also the time of the ‘changing of the sun”. The sun god Ra was said to have two wives, both daughters of Tangaroa. He spent half the year with Hine-takurua, the Winter Woman in the south, far out on the ocean, for she was associated with the work of fishing. At the maruaroa of winter, Ra was said to begin his return to his other wife, Hine-raumati, the Summer Woman who dwells on land and was associated with the gathering of forest food, and the growing of crops.
Winter was the bird-preserving season – the kaka, tui, kereru were preserved in their own fat – women went to the store houses to bring out fish that had been sundried earlier and Maori fishers went eeling.
Grace: (Ian Harris)
Let us feast and give thanks for plentiful food, for the beauty of the constellations in our Southern stars for our good company . Amen

“This book is an excellent resource that nurses can refer to as they address the inevitable varied challenges they will face in their professional career.” – L. Wilden Miles, The Journal for Nurse Practitioners, 2014.
Listed on the Ultimate Reading List for Nurses published Feb 2014 on: LPNtoBSNonline: http://lpntobsnonline.org/ultimate-nurse-reading-list/
“This book addresses the issue that all nurses eventually face at one time or another in their career, a loss of passion. The author takes readers on a journey to recapture their passion….Every nurse should read this book.” –V. Hedderick, Doody’s Review Service
“An excellent resource for all levels of nurses…Highly recommended.”–D. B. Hamilton, Choice: Current Reviews for Academic Libraries, 2013

Compassion fatigue afflicts nurses working in all caring environments and has become a serious issue in health care institutions globally. In this work I address risk factors for and manifestations of compassion fatigue, burnout, and other related experiences such as incivility (bullying) in the workplace, PTS, death overload, collective trauma, and moral distress, and present strategies to mediate and resolve these issues. I outline a unique healing model-ART– designed to help nurses to identify, heal from, and, where possible, avert compassion fatigue. Holistic strategies and action plans are offered to help cultivate a healthier, more gratifying work environment.
I also emphasize ways in which dissatisfaction transforms the quality of patient care and the need for nurses to reinvent their work environments to favor compassion contentment. Case vignettes and exercises are offered to assist readers to identify and alter patterns of negativity to reaffirm purpose in their professional lives.

…one can teach, talk about, and continuously act to try to ensure quality and safety, but if the nursing workforce is compassion fatigued and/or burned out, quality and safety concerns will never be adequately addressed. It is impossible to disentangle the quality of care for the patient from the carer’s professional quality of life; they are one. Health for the cared for and the carers is directly related to the care rendered and received; how we care transforms our professional quality of life (and our overall quality of life), and how patients receive care transforms their quality of living and dying.

Hello, My name is Txus Algora and I am from Mallorca (Spain).
I am webmaster of the blog "Pinball con Ñ" http://blogpinball.blogspot.com/ and the Pinballs made in the database of Spain www.Pinballespaña.es (or www.Pinballespana.es).
I write to you because I have written a book of a topic of your interest. This is the history of Pinball in Spain, which has a long tradition in manufacturing Pinballs since the 50s. With the help of the museodelrecreativo.es and the Dolmen publishing house, we are trying to publish a book of 464 pages where we collect the history of the industry recreational in Spain and the context in which it developed. We dedicate a chapter to each of the 76 Spanish manufacturing companies (+ a Portuguese) and more than 600 pinballs that they made from the 50s to the present. The book has many photos, logos and more than 400 flyers of Spanish machines.
It has been impossible to make a bilingual version in Spanish with other languages because that would have taken us to more than 600 pages, so unfortunately, the book has only been published in Spanish. In any case, I think the book could be of interest to you.
On the website https://www.verkami.com/projects/33388-bola-extra we are doing a crowdfunding (fortunately we have already achieved the minimum objective) where interested parties can be recorded to receive the book at home. I send some images and here https://www.flipsnack.com/AEB7FABBDC9/pinball-avance-de-p-ginas.html you can see some chapters.
If any editorial is interested, we will make an edition in English.
Of course, the manufacturer "Recreativos Franco" is included (not to confuse con Franco the "Generalisimo") and its brand for the export "Interflip".
Although RF manufactured many recreational and slot machines, it made very few pinballs:
Venus 5 (1973)
Super Star (1986)

At Gareth's school they send book bags home with the kids - Ziploc bags with some books and a reading log in them. They use the letters A-Z to help guide the kids to books that are "just right" for them. Last year this whole system was pretty relaxed. Using the bags wasn't required and the log was mostly for the parents' benefit, to help them remember what books their kids had already checked out from the class library. Ryan and I completely ignored the A-Z levels, because we feel we read because it's fun, not to make sure our kid moves from one level to another during the year.
Gareth came home with his bag at the end of last week and, so far as I can tell, it works similarly to last year, except that the kids are supposed to read their books for twenty minutes each day, logging the minutes as well as the book, level, author, etc. And that it's technically their homework. After just a couple days I've decided I don't like this. I can see how it'd be helpful for some kids who don't like to read or parents who want some help carving out time to read with their kids, and even for the teachers because I'm more likely to remember to fill out the log this way. But I'm worried that for Gareth it'll eventually turn reading into a chore rather than a fun activity. Already, after just a few days, the focus with the books from school is not enjoying the story but getting the minutes done. "Has it been twenty minutes yet?" is asked several times while reading. It's been obvious that his focus is not solely on the book and the story.
Now, I know that he reads for at least twenty minutes each day. We often read a bedtime story together and then he reads in his bed before going to sleep. I have no idea for how long, but my guess is that it's usually at least half an hour, if not closer to an hour. And he often reads first thing in the morning as well. So I'm thinking we're going to stop worrying about the twenty minutes. I'm sure he'll read the books from school because he's choosing them himself. We'll log them, and if the teacher really wants minutes, make up some numbers (I'm doubtful she'll care that much about the numbers considering how well he reads). He may not do the reading right when he gets home from school, and he may not read those particular books for twenty minutes, but I just can't get myself to see either of those things as more important than finding reading fun.


Today we are looking at Laws Four To Seven From The Seven Spiritual Laws Of Success, By Deepak Chopra. We will explore a beautiful Vedic principle, including what it means to embody personal responsibility, manifestation, intention and desire. We will also be unpacking what it means to be detached from outcome, whilst being in alignment with source, as well as our dharma, higher self, and being of service in the world. The Seven Spiritual Laws are powerful principles you can use to fulfill your deepest desires with effortless joy. Inspired by ancient wisdom, Hindu and Spiritual concepts, which teach the idea that personal success is not the outcome of hard work, precise plans or a driving ambition, but rather of understanding our basic nature as human beings and how to follow the laws of nature.
We are emerging from the hibernation of the Wintry womb, to the lightness that is Spring. We have entered a time of celebration and taking aligned and inspired action from all that we have been learning and integrating over the Winter. On the night of the New Moon, I was intuitively called to do a little Spring Equinox Ritual. And whilst this post is out a little later than I had hoped, it is still relevant to us all as we emerge from our Wintry She-Caves into the light and fertile energy of Spring.
The past few years I have been drawn deep into the texts of the original and classic Spiritual Teachers. From the likes of Sonia Choquette, Marianne Williamson, James Redfield, Amma, The Dalai Lama, Carl Jung, Caroline Myss and more, I wanted to get my paws on them ALL. With such a flooded market of new age spirituality books, it can be easy to get lost amongst the fluff. I wanted get to the heart and bones of what I know to be true. I wanted to be taught by the best and to once again become the keen and enthusiastic learner that I always have been. One of those classic books was The Seven Spiritual Laws Of Success, By Deepak Chopra.
Welcome beautiful. Here you will find the musings of my soulspeak infused with universal truths on love, conscious awakening, ancient wisdom, grace and flow.

This book introduces the history and meanings of various Japanese words with shared roots. Based on the insights of Professor Emeritus Shizuka Shirakawa ( 白川静), a leading kanji scholar, it also has cute illustrations to help readers visualize the links between the words introduced.
For example, the component おも appears in many modern Japanese words. As this book explains, おも originally comes from the word 面, meaning "face." The verb 思う, which means "think" or "feel" spontaneously, is derived from this root. おも (face) developed into おもう (think, feel) because your face usually expresses your spontaneous thoughts or emotions.
If you already have intermediate to advanced reading skills in Japanese, and you are looking to improve your Japanese word knowledge by delving into the etymology, this book is a useful resource!

Living Ancients By Matthew Shenoda
According to an online article, “Matthew Shenoda is an Egyptian poet and former assistant provost for equity and diversity and faculty member in the School of Critical Studies at the Califonia Institute of the Arts.Shenoda is on the editorial board of the African Poetry Book Series and lives in Chicago with his family.” Living Ancients by Matthew Shenoda looks at the issue of legacy in a very different way. He believes that burial is a very important aspect of human existence and must be well done. Continue to the source >>>

twelve climbers died on Everest in one of the worst disasters in the
mountain’s history… We were at the same altitude, in the same location; they
had been in when they died. We had the same experience levels they had, the
same concerns for safety, the same professional and personal ambitions. We
had the same amount of time and the same amount of oxygen. But we also had
one thing they didn’t have. They had clear weather going up, and only
abstract worries that a storm might develop. We already had the

The Remarkable Story of the
First Couple to
Climb the Fabled Seven Summits
By Susan and Phil Ershler
“I read the book in just two
sittings and I can't count how many times I cried. As a mountaineer, I was
especially impressed with Phil's overcoming his numerous life-threatening
health issues, and Sue's perseverance to push herself beyond her established
boundaries. But more than their first-ever athletic accomplishment, what I
admire most about the Ershlers is the strength of their relationship that
gave them the foundation to transform every setback into another goal that
they reached together. I was inspired by their loving marriage and mutually
supporting partnership and hope that all of us readers might find that depth
of happiness in our lives."

“Phil Ershler is a world class climber and guide. Sue Ershler is a first
class businesswoman. But their story is not just about climbing and
business. It is about two people in love who switch leads in life’s hard
climb. A great read—inside or outside a tent!”

On May 16, 2002, Susan and Phil Ershler achieved what no other couple ever
had: they reached the top of Mount Everest and became the first couple in
history to scale the fabled Seven Summits, the highest mountain on each
What makes their accomplishment more remarkable, however, is the fact that
Susan, a high-powered Fortune 500 business executive, had never hiked, climbed

the climb after a struggle with colon cancer that threatened to end his
Now, to coincide with the five-year anniversary of their triumph on Mount

Summits (Warner Books, April 2, 2007; $24.99 hardcover), written with Robin
The book opens with the couple’s first, unsuccessful attempt at Everest in
2001 when, after two months on the mountain, Phil’s eyes begin to freeze in
the thin, frigid air at 27,600 feet and they are forced to turn back. In
subsequent chapters told in alternating, first-person narratives, readers are
taken inside Phil and Susan’s intimate lives and witness the events that led
to this significant defeat and ultimate conquest.

ALICIA Y GRETA: UN CUENTO DE DOS BRUJAS by Steven J. Simmons
Alicia y Greta is a wonderful story. Translated into Spanish from the original in English, Alice and Greta: A Tale of Two Witches, the story follows two witches who attend the same school. They both learn magical spells, but they start using them in different ways. The witches have different perspectives on the things they learn and see, which are ostensibly the same.
It is a good story to share with students about the type of decisions they make. Everybody is given the same lesson in school and in life, but how people interpret and use their lessons can be very different. It is up to us to make decisions. The book is amazing because it specifically states what the consequence will be for making a bad decision. In the story the teacher states that whatever you decide to do with your magic will come back to you. A second lesson is to pay attention to instruction. You cannot be distracted because you may miss a very important critical instruction, which Greta did.
The language is beautiful and descriptive. The illustrations are colorful and vibrant. The story is full of verbs and adjectives which can easily be transferred to a lesson. For a lesson on introducing verbs, a read-aloud might be a good option, so that students can listen with the objective of identifying and writing down the verbs. Additionally, the spells in the book use a lot of rhymes, which can be used for a poetry lesson. At only 29 pages, the book is short and very fun to read. You can definitely keep the attention of your students.

From the Introduction: This book is not about Zen. Nevertheless, Zen pervades its pages. Anecdotally, it’s about the hunt for and occasional capture of unique motorcars by one man over a period of six decades.
This book details a lifetime of searching, finding, buying, transporting, restoring, enjoying, and eventually selling the products of a hobby gone wild. Reading these true stories of one man’s lifelong car-collecting avocation, you’ll find the journey seldom follows the anticipated path.
As with life itself, there are sudden turns, frequent stops, and frustrating conditions, events, and outcomes. It’s probably better to recognize these through others’ experiences, rather than stumbling into the pitfalls and darker elements of car collecting on your own and without preparation. As I did. After you’ve read the car stories, and had an opportunity to observe mistakes made, and the adverse results that often follow, the book’s concluding chapter will offer lessons learned across a car-collecting lifetime. Take heed. These lessons could help prevent similar mistakes in your own collecting pursuits. Who knows, they might even save you from yourself.Looking back, I wish I’d found something similar sixty years ago to better prepare for the hobby’s rigors. Many wasted hours and dollars might have been saved. Above all, these stories should illustrate the difference between learning as you go – flying by the seat of your pants – or gaining information and knowledge before stepping into the rewarding, but also daunting, hobby of collecting old cars. Take the lesson. — Bruce Valley

[Summary: The October Fair was not just an agricultural event; as it represented a massive gathering of the rich, powerful, and not so prominent, it was the scene of major political meetings, especially before the arrival of mass transportation. These articles, taken from 1826 and 1828, report on the sectarian activities of Lord Clancarty and the attempts by the restless Catholic gentry and emerging middle class to counter them.]
BIBLICAL OUTRAGE AT BALLINASLOE
[From the Freeman's Journal]
We, the undersigned, certify that we attended the adjourned meeting at Ballinasloe, for considering the proceedings of the London Hibernian Society, on Thursday, Oct. 12th, 1826, and that after the resolution was disposed of, and Lord Dunlo had quitted the chair, Mr. Eneas McDonnell moved that the Hon. Gonville Ffrench should take the chair; upon which a large body of police, amounting to about 30 in number, were set upon the people with drawn swords, carbines, and bayonets, and violently assaulted the Catholics, without in any way molesting any other persons; and though frequently commanded by the Hon. Gonville Ffrench, a magistrate of the county of Galway, to desist, and the meeting being perfectly peaceable, they did not desist, and were not restrained or countermanded by Lord Dunlo, Archdeacon Trench, Dean Mahon, or Walter McDonough, magistrates of the county of Galway, then present. Several were struck and knocked down in the presence of those magistrates:--
L. Dillon, P.P.
Denis O'Callaghan, P.P.
Thos. Tully, Rathfarm
N. P. McConnell
N. J. French
And about 30 other gentlemen. The certificates of 17 persons present are added.

CONNAUGHT PROVINCIAL MEETING
The great Provincial Meeting of Connaught, held on Wednesday last at Ballinasloe, should be considered the most important which has been held in Ireland, for at this meeting the resolutions adopted may be justly described as the joint work of the Catholics and Protestants of the province. It was, in point of fact, as stated in the requisition, a meeting of the Friends of Civil and Religious Liberty, and the resolutions passed at the chapel of Ballinasloe were moved alternatively by Protestants and Catholics. A Protestant Gentleman, one of the Members for the county Galway, Mr. James Lambert, was in the chair. The first resolution was moved by the Most Rev. Dr. Kelly, the Catholic Archbishop of Tuam; the second by Mr. Fitzstephen French, brother of the member for the county of Roscommon, and whose pretensions to the county of Sligo we expect to see realized at the next election. Another resolution was moved by Lord French, a Catholic nobleman; the next by Mr. Dominick Browne, the late member for the country of Mayo, and whom his county and his province expect again to see elevated to that proud station; one by Mr. Hearne, of Hearnsbrook, a Catholic gentleman of large possessions in the county of Galway, and who, for the first time, came forward in Catholic polities, roused by the taunts and insults of the Brunswickers to those public exertions for which his talents manifestly quality him so well; and another by Mr. Kelly, of Cargans, a Protestant gentleman of high rank in the same county. In this way the series of resolutions were disposed of, and the Catholics and Protestants of this interesting province have manifested to the empire, that all the efforts of the Orangemen and Brunwickers have proved unavailing -- and that Connaught, at least in its three principal counties, Galway, Mayo, and Roscommon, have repudiated with contempt and indignation, the slanders heaped upon the Protestants of Ireland by the rev. organs of the Orangemen and the Brunswickers. The resolutions were drawn up on the model of those passed in Munster, and in several instances in the very words of the resolutions passed at Clonmel. All the scruples, therefore, of Mr. Thomas Martin and his friends were removed, and that gentleman most cheerfully in the spirit of the Munster resolutions, and with the qualification adopted by the meeting at Ballinasloe. Thus, in the proceedings there was no allusion made to county politics, and whatever may have been the personal predilections of the individuals concerned, we had the gratification of witnessing at the dinner which followed, in an assembly of 170 Connaught gentlemen, Catholics and Protestants, where the utmost harmony, hilarity, good-fellowship, and good feeling prevailed. To show the utter failure which the conspirators against the peace and happiness of the country sustained, it is only necessary to state, that while the gentlemen of Connaught, Protestant and Catholic, were engaged in preparing their resolutions, there was an attempt made to get up a Brunswick club in Ballinasloe; and in the assembled province (for the may be said to have assembled in the place) they mustered two gentlemen, -- namely, Lord Dunlo and Mr. Kelly of Castlekelly. -- Dublin Evening Post
Source: The Times, 15 October 1828, p. 3
We are authorized to state, that the Protestant Archbishop of Tuam discountenanced the late meeting of Brunswickers in Ballinasloe, and to add, that none of the clergy of his see assisted at the meeting.
This paragraph is important as it regards the Ballinasloe Brunswickers; but it is more important in another way. We give Dr. Trench credit for not joining his brother, the Earl of Clancarty, in the futile attempt to plant dragon's teeth in the county of Galway. But we beg the reader to observe the effect which the Archbishop's prohibition produced. Not one of the clergy under his Grace's immediate control, not even Archdeacon Trench, assisted at the meeting. The persons who speeched away upon that occasion were from the dioceses of Dr. Butson and of Dr. Leslie. If these prelates -- in the Irish Protestant prelates in general -- if Dr. Magee, Dr. Mant, the two Drs. Beresford, and all the rest of the Right Reverend and Most Reverend Doctors prohibited their clergy from assisting at those meetings, the great scandal which has fallen on the Protestant Clergy of Ireland, and the intolerable mischiefs which they are endeavouring to do their country, would be avoided. -- Dublin Evening Post
Eleven hundred and seventy-four pounds and ten shillings and four-pence are the costs in the late proceedings of Dean Trench against Counsellor Eneas McDonnell.

Black Magic Tales is a comic book property created by Joe Carabeo and Carolyn Belefski.
Roxy Monroe and Dean Casanova love being the most wanted criminals on the face of the planet – and that’s why the public loves them. Add up Bonnie and Clyde, John Dillinger, or any other outlaw on the run in human history and they still wouldn’t equal the amount of fun and out-of-control mayhem that ensues whenever Roxy and Dean show up to pull a heist. This is Black Magic Tales, where crime couldn’t be more fun.
The Legettes is a comic book property created by Joe Carabeo and Carolyn Belefski.
For some people the future is bright with possibility. Every hard day is worth it because of the thought that the effort will payoff in a glorious payday. Meet MC. He’s exactly that type of person. A hard worker, loyal, passionate, and full of goals, MC is definitely someone that you can count on when the chips are down. He also happens to be part of DEKO, the most prestigious and powerful corporation on the planet.
What he does, we can not say. What he gets paid is confidential. The name of his job title can’t be known to people not in the know, but what we do know is that MC is about to experience a huge change in his life. His whole world is about to be flipped upside down and dropped on his head. And when the lights finally come back on, MC will wake up in a future that has more enemies than friends, a future where tech is now skin and skin is now fake, a future where everything is manufactured for the manufacturer, and a future where being nostalgic will get you killed. Welcome to a dark and dangerous future. Welcome to the world of The Legettes!
Carolyn worked with photographer Joe Carabeo and burlesque performer Dolli Holiday for a photo shoot featuring Dolli as the Layla LeGette character to spotlight t-shirts Carolyn designed for The Legettes and DEKO.
Carolyn has organized and contributed to anthologies and other comics projects. Here is a small sampling:
Carnival Anthology Carolyn organized and published her first anthology featuring people she admired, most of whom she met as fellow exhibitors at comic conventions. With the carnival theme in mind, the book is dedicated to showcasing individual artistic styles and storytelling techniques. Joe Carabeo, Carolyn Belefski, Elizabeth Watasin, Ava Ann Vrooman, John Bintz, Else Tennessen, Kris Black, Rafer Roberts, Terry Flippo, Jim Coon, Nick DeStefano, Kenneth Rocafort, Rob Levin, and Rafael Navarro are all the writers and artists involved in the project.
Queen Crab Jimmy Palmiotti (Painkiller Jane, Jonah Hex, Harley Quinn) asked Carolyn to create a pin-up for his graphic novel, Queen Crab. The project was funded by Kickstarter and published by Image Comics.
Wonder Woman Carolyn created art that was produced on t-shirts for Wonder Woman Day 2010. The original sketch was donated to Comic Fusion, a comic store in Flemington, New Jersey, to use in an auction to benefit SAFE in Hunterdon, a non-profit agency serving victims of domestic violence and sexual assault.
RISE: Comics Against Bullying Carolyn worked on the story “Left Behind” with writer Elizabeth-Amber Love in this comics series dealing with bullying. It is currently in production and geared to be distributed for free by organizations such as GLAAD, Stand for the Silent, and Prism Comics.


Personalised storybook for kids.
Counting in Clay is a storybook created for children aged 4-6 years, with the aim of showing them how to count from 1-10. The Magic Beans meticulously created every single item and scene by hand, in clay. These were then photographed individually and laid out in the book. Since this was sold in Dubai, a market with a diverse population, the design team created variations of the main character, in both genders, so the end user could personalise the book to their individual race and gender.


State College Welcomes Little Pantries
“Little Pantries” Make A Big Difference
This April, Penn State students took on a new initiative to tackle hunger in the State College and surrounding communities. Becca Lerman, Penn State senior and president of Rebuild-U, is heading the initiative!
Throughout Becca’s time at Penn State, she has been actively involved in social justice work across campus and in the community. Most recently, Becca founded Rebuild-U, a group focused on developing personal connections through hands-on service. Rebuild-U reaches out to those in need and actively engages the community by utilizing Jewish values such as tikkun olam, repairing our world, to make a difference in the lives of others. In addition, Becca has played a key role in organizing Penn State Hillel’s alternative break trip to Roatan, Honduras. With her passion for social justice and tikkun olam, Becca has inspired so many students to create change both locally and globally. As she prepares for graduation this May, Becca will leave her beloved Penn State and State College community with the gift of giving: Little Pantries.
We interviewed Becca to find out a little more about the project:
What inspired this idea?
Becca: My mom inspired this idea. Last summer, while on a stroll her hometown of Pittsburgh, Becca discovered the Little Free Library, an organization that builds and places weatherproof boxes to be used for the free exchange of books. With a successful first year of Rebuild-U and social justice on her mind, Becca found a new inspiration in the Little Free Library. After a lot of brainstorming and research, Becca decided to bring Little Pantries to State College. Similar to Little Free Library, Little Pantries builds, places, and fills weatherproof pantries full of non-perishable foods for neighbors in need of food.
When did it start?
Becca: It started at the beginning of the school year. With some great and supportive people, we formed a small committee to further the project. We’ve recently set up two locations in State College but stay on the lookout for more coming soon!
How does it work?
Becca: The Little Pantries are set up in two locations as of now. As of Sunday, April 16, Little Pantires can be found at United Methodist Church in Woodycrest and the United Methodist Church in Houserville. Anyone in need can stop by, grab a reusable grocery bag from one of the shelves and pack it up with food of their choice. Anyone can donate food! The Little Pantries slogan is “take what you need, give what you can.”
Who is involved?
Becca: My favorite part about the project is that it is an joint initiative between the community and students. People of all backgrounds have together with the goal of fighting hunger. Through this project we hope to ignite conversation around hunger and educate people on how to create change right in their own communities. We are currently working with local girl scouts, elementary schools, churches, Skills Program, and community members to advocate for the cause and to replenish and check our pantries. Student organizations such as Lion’s Pantry and Rebuild-U have also helped to create, implement, and sustain the project Lion’s Pantry has agreed to donate twice a month to assist in replenishing the pantries. Each group shares a similar mission of engaging the community through hands-on services projects that directly impact those in need.
Who does it benefit?
How can students get involved?
Becca: Students can donate items to the Little Pantry! See the list below. Items can be dropped off at either location and added to the pantry. Additionally, students can donate to Lion’s Pantry (the 2017 class gift). Feel free to reach out to Becca for more information: email email@example.com

My Bank Holiday Weekend; Nicola Adams and the Friern Barnet LibraryPosted: August 27, 2012
So it’s been a lovely warm bank holiday weekend to enjoy shortly after the One Barnet saga and a few other bits and pieces I am sorting out over the summer.
The highlights of this weekend have been twofold.
a) making the impromptu decision to go out to a nightclub (as women in their mid 20s are prone to do) and then running into the lovely Nicola Adams who gave me a gruff handshake and a cheeky smile which made my day.
In case you’ve not been following the news on all this – this is the first woman boxer to win an Olympic gold. A woman, it appears from a first and then a second meeting in some nightclub, of not that many words – but that’s alright, we can run with that when she’s made feminist and Olympic history.
b) being a part of the extraordinary spirit shown in the campaign to reopen Friern Barnet library, which is now lending books outside of the library itself. If you’re a fan of your Dickens, Pope or any of the other literary greats – do get down to the next meetup and borrow a book if you can!
Pictures from the event are here at Mr. Reasonable’s blog.
I’ve already been hearing complaints out on canvasses from parents that children in the local area have nowhere to go for revision, or for books – and that the proposed ‘Super-Library’ in the Arts Depot is not so much of a super library as a disappointment that does not cater for young children’s needs. Unimpressed – particularly as I grew up in a family which like many, struggled to make ends meet, and where the library was essential for my own intellectual development.

Cult Classics vs. Cult Survivor Literature: What Will Your Spiritual Reading Be Now?
Stories of abuse and betrayal tremble beneath the veneer of spiritual groups. Silently. For decades.
The veneer functions like money does in the Epstein world to write the laws, conceal the truth, and dispose of the evidence. Spiritual groups don’t have Epstein-level money, but they have other shiny objects to distract and confuse. They have stories of extraordinary men, spiritual transformations, and a coming enlightened age.
One type of question I often field is “what makes the Jois story a yoga story?” or: “What makes the Rigpa story a story about Buddhism?” I counter the deflection of this question by saying “It’s true: these are rape culture and high-demand group stories.”
Then I add: “But it’s important that we see how they play out in environments in which they are explicitly not meant to happen: places where vulnerable people come to be protected from abuse.”
But there’s another reason I believe stories of spiritual abuse are important to investigate and understand. In some cases, the group has an outsize impact upon the broader culture, usually through having found a way to conceal its origins, manage its image, and secularize and popularize its techniques.
I’m not talking about groups like Scientology, which unduly influence celebrities who carry a lot of social power, but which also have a hard time commodifying their core content. (One test here is that Dianetics has always been published in-house, while much of the “advanced” literature is hidden altogether.) With Shambhala, for example, the core content is sanitized, legitimized, and monetized through institutions like Naropa and a number of spiritual/self-help books that became touchstones in the 1990s neoliberalism that believed it was progressive.
That core content is a group effort. More importantly: the group effort conceals itself through the presentation of individual genius. Nowhere is this more efficient than in the spiritual book industry.
Spiritual books are marketed on the basis of the awakened personality and the intimacy of the author’s written “voice”. The public ends up thinking they’re encountering the realized presence of Pema Chödrön on the page, for example. That page, and the buzz around it, gets her onto Oprah.
But Chödrön’s ascent to Oprah isn’t driven by her personal wisdom or virtue. She gets that gig because she has risen to the top of a high-demand group as a spokesperson.

From your Home Screen, swipe your finger to the left until you see the App Library. When you hide a Home screen page, it will no longer appear on your Home screen. You can create and customize any number of Home screen pages to fit your lifestyle and then hide them out of the way until you need them. All apps are still on your iPhone and accessible from your App Library.
- Once you arrive in the App Library, you’ll see the aforementioned folders.
- The App Library was only introduced to the iPhone in iOS 14, but it’s become one of the most important parts of the iPhone Home Screen.
- This doesn’t delete the app from your iPhone—it’s still available in the App Library—but it does remove it from the Home Screen to free up visual space.
- Starting at the top left, you have Suggestions (apps that you use often) and Recently Added.
Touch and hold the app, then tap Add to Home Screen (available only if the app isn’t already on the Home Screen). When you download new apps from the App Store, you can add them to the Home Screen and App Library, or to App Library only. Next, we’ll explain both how to move apps from the App Library back to a Home Screen, and how to delete apps from the App Library and the rest of your iPhone completely. You can also search for apps with Spotlight by dragging down from your Home screen, which avoids using the App Library at all. If you still can’t find the app you’re looking for, tap the search bar at the top of the App Library to search for it.
Offload Apps to Save Storage
App Store purchases are safe and simple, so you can start playing, gaming, reading — or just doing — straightaway. Create a secure account with your preferred payment method on file and it’s easily accessible across your devices and the web. Your account is protected by two‑factor authentication, ensuring that the only person who can access your account is you — even if someone else knows your password. And more than 250,000 apps tap into the advanced technologies of Touch ID and Face ID built into your devices, giving you an additional layer of security. When you tap one of the larger app icons, your iPhone automatically opens that app instead of opening the folder.
- When you install new apps, they’re added to your App Library automatically, and you can change whether new apps also appear on your Home Screen.

If that happens, tap and hold on it, then drag it to the left of the screen to go to your Home Screen. Finally, tap an app icon in the App Library to launch it, or tap the small app icons to open a folder. With thousands of apps added to the App Store every week, there’s always something new to check out. To help you discover the apps, stories and games you’re sure to love, our team of full-time editors offer personalised suggestions based on your preferences and previous purchases.

Use the App Library and Home Screen to organize your iPad apps

App product pages give you the information you need when deciding what to download. From more videos to rankings and reviews, there are loads of ways to help you pick the app that’s right for you. The App Library is an all-new way in iOS 14 to store your apps without needing them to appear on the Home Screen. Here’s how to use the App Library to better organize your iPhone.
Apps that have the larger icon sizes are directly tappable because they are the most frequently used apps in that category. You can, however, see all apps by tapping on the smaller 4×4 grid in the main category folder if visible. If there are no smaller icons visible, then it means that there are no further apps in that category. If you have an app on your screen that you’d like to move into the Library, press and hold the app icon. You’ll see the App Library immediately, full of pre-populated categories like Productivity or Games.
Apps must adhere to our guidelines.
IPadOS 15 introduced the App Library to the iPad, meaning you can get all the same goodies and benefits that the iPhone App library brings to the table. The good news is the App Library functionality in PadOS 15 is identical to the iPhone, meaning all the steps listed above. If you have multiple Home Screen pages, you can change their order. For example, you can gather together your favorite apps on one Home Screen page, and then make that your first Home Screen page. When you remove a page from your Home Screen, the apps will still appear in the App Library. If you have multiple Home Screen pages, you change their order.
We give developers the tools and support to build cutting‑edge technologies into their apps straightaway — which means they’re yours to enjoy straightaway. Like when an app uses Face ID or Touch ID for secure access — while keeping the underlying authentication data from your face or fingerprint private. Or when a game controller syncs up easily with a new game on your iPhone. And with our innovations in augmented reality and machine learning, you’ll be seeing even more amazing features in the years to come. Just like the 2015 portable 3 in 1 adult sex toys miniature clitoris massager vibrators stimulator for women 52s4 introduced to iPhone with iOS 14, this is a central location for all of your apps.
