Joint Winner: Sycamore, by Harry Barber
Infinite possibilities with portable, renewable power
Sycamore is a portable wind power harvester that has been designed as a replacement for diesel generators. It generates energy using an inflatable kite that flies crosswind in a figure of eight pattern 100m above a base on the ground and the whole system can be packed down into a small box for transportation. By providing an alternative to fossil fuel-dependent generators, solar panels and wind turbines, Sycamore opens up a world of sustainable possibilities for distributed working, learning and living, even in remote locations.

JOINT WINNER: Echo, by Kevin Chiam
99 red balloons for safer working and learning environments
Echo is a modular alarm and wayfinding system which facilitates safer, more effective evacuation of buildings in an emergency. Rather than panic, most deaths in building fires are a result of hesitation; people often dismiss emergency messages as false alarms. Acting as a secondary warning, Echo is manually activated upon confirmation of danger. Its rapidly inflating red balloon threatens to pop, inciting tension and discomfort which triggers occupants to evacuate promptly. Echo can have a positive effect beyond emergencies - it offers a subliminal reassurance of safety at all times, which has a profound effect on our psychology. By reducing anxiety and stress levels, it allows our minds to be better focussed on other activities.

RUNNER UP: Mobius, by Yuning Chan
Adaptive seating for agile spaces
Mobius is a chair that can adapt to the user's form, embracing the natural flexibility and dynamics of the human body. Constructed with robust steel, its fluent flexibility provides a delicate balance between friction, gravity, and tension. Its fluent movement and auto-locking in multiple positions mediates a natural and intuitive interaction, instead of the rather static interaction we have with most of our furniture. By supporting a 'sit-as-you-like' technique, Mobius can provide flexible seating for agile working and learning spaces.

RUNNER UP: Sit Next To Nature, by Yishan Qin
Create dynamic and diffuse light patterns from an invisible forest
Mimicking the effect of sitting in nature by using shadows, this chair brings dynamic and diffuse light patterns into a space - an important and often overlooked principle of biophilic design. According to research, perceptions of wellbeing can increase by up to 15% in spaces that incorporate natural elements. This is often done with the introduction of plants, which can be costly to both install and maintain. The fabric element of these chairs shifts with the user's movements, causing delicate changes of the shadows created akin to a gentle breeze through an invisible forest.

Joint Winner: Rapid Chair, by Anna Heck
Pull up a chair, get comfortable - let's talk
Rapid Chair is an affordable and intelligent folding seating solution designed to meet the needs of contemporary spaces, as well as optimised distribution models. Flexible, multipurpose spaces within offices or educational institutions require space-efficient seating that can be moved around and stored easily. Designed to be economical, flat-packed and mass-produced, Rapid Chair is a high quality, versatile and sustainable solution that provides a level of comfort and stability often compromised in folding chairs. By supporting both comfort and user control, whether in formal or informal contexts, the chair can help transform working and learning spaces that nurture creativity.
JOINT WINNER: Unio, by Maria Ramon Vazquez
A toolkit for space personalisation
Unio is a furniture system formed of three groups of components that allows users to adapt and personalise their environments. The 'main bodies' - largely static pieces of furniture which are rarely moved, such as tables or storage units, are enhanced with dynamic components such as lamps, pots and pinboards. These two units are brought together with 'unions' which enable the user to easily clip on and move components, adding or modifying functionalities of the 'main bodies'. Supporting personalisation and user control has been shown to have a positive effect on engagement, sense of place and mental wellbeing. By supporting personal expression in a systemised way, Unio converts otherwise rigid objects around us in a playful, engaging and interactive way.

RUNNER UP: Have a seat, by Carolina Hermenegildo
The making of a maker-space - for the students, by the students
An open-source design for school furniture, 'Have a Seat' aims to facilitate local production for areas where local wood production & recycling facilities are available. This achieves multiple benefits - it empowers local production, enhances distribution efficiencies, improves comfort and performance within learning environments, and could also nurture modern project-based learning models. Local production and agency to invest in furniture is particularly beneficial in contexts where the alternative is a lack of seating in schools - for example rural Cameroon or Uganda. Utilising local plywood or timber and basic tools, this furniture can be flat-packed, assembled easily, and even dimensionally adjusted to suit students of all ages – making a direct, positive impact on learning outcomes.

RUNNER UP: FLOW, by Freddie Keen
Balancing privacy and isolation in agile spaces
FLOW provides separation, sound absorption and privacy without isolation. Created with soft textures and neutral tones, it adds to a gentler, lighter, and more uplifting space. Its natural materials and surfaces of ash and calico are customisable with an outer fabric that can be changed, removed, and easily cleaned. As working and learning environments look to facilitate more user control over space configuration, FLOW can be an intuitive and simple way to define spaces and reduce acoustic and visual distractions. An alternative to fixed or cumbersome space division such as booths and meeting rooms, it enhances acoustic management with a simple system of interlinking baffles. Easy to modify and move around, they can assist with flow and movement through a space in a dynamic way.

HIGHLY COMMENDED: SE17 Chair, by Andreas Kamolz & Andrew Scott
Trash to treasure - exploring alternative ways of production and consumption
There is an inherent value in what would often be considered waste. The SE17 Chair is the result of a process that utilises discarded materials to both create a useful object, and the tools with which to make it. Pallets from a nearby market and a discarded clothes rack were used to create a lathe. This lathe in turn was used to transform some downed green wood from a local park into a mortise and tenon chair frame. Plastic bags also discarded at the market were turned into rope, which was woven together to create a seat. This process demonstrates not just an aspect of a circular economy but is also an excellent project-based learning format. By instilling students with traditional craft techniques, innovative thinking, and sustainable practices, it could help them appreciate the bountiful material landscape all around them.

Okay lets see how much passive income I have received in September. And what kind a month it was for my Vrijheid Fonds. I had just one dividend increase. Target raised its dividend with 7.70%. A nice increase!
Lets take a look at the numbers and tell you the status of my Vrijheid Fonds and report my passive income for this month. In total I received € 287.94 ($ 321.90) in passive income.
That makes a total of € 287.94, this is a 66.5% increase from last years September. This partly due to new buys the last year and partly due to rearranging my portfolio last year. Wow this feels good!
If we take a look at my Vrijheid Fonds (Freedom Fund), we can see that the value is slightly lower than last month. My total portfolio value at the end of September is $54.950, which is a decrease of 0.44% over last month (€ 55,193). I again donated € 400 of fresh capital to my Vrijheid Fonds.
Nice going, Pollie. Congrats on the dividend income. A 66% YoY increase is great progress rate! Keep it up!

In terms of Forskolin, there's no doubt it's not your ordinary weight loss supplement. Forskolin targets key neuropeptide hormones inside the brain to assist you lose weight by doing what lots of other diet pills state they do: suppress appetite, burn off fat, boost levels of energy, and increase metabolism. Forskolin manufacturers state this approach can make it work better than other weight loss supplements, but will it?
Forskolin's Method of Weight-loss. Forskolin was created to balance two neuropeptides inside the brain directly related factors that lead to weight reduction. Both of these neuropeptides are classified as CART and NPY, and when they're from balance, putting on weight is normally inevitable. CART stands for Cocaine Amphetamine Regulatory Transcript, and it stimulates metabolism, reduces appetite, increases insulin levels, and delivers energy for the muscles rather than storing blood glucose as fat.
On the other hand, NPY is short for Neuropeptide-Y, and when the amount with this neurotransmitter are high (often due to stress), temperature is lowered and blood sugar is more prone to be stored as body fat than employed for energy. There is no doubt both of these hormones have impact on weight; now you ask whether Forskolin has a significant, positive impact. Consequently, I required to look closer on the ingredients to assess its usefulness in this regard.
Chromax. Chromax Chromium is really a mineral that regulates glucose levels. It's seen to support weight loss in multiple ways, but it's primarily utilized to suppress appetite. It send signals for the brain which you feel full which means you eat fewer calories. In a single clinical study, participants taking 400 mcg chromium dropped excess weight. You can find 500 mcg chromax chromium in Forskolin.
DiCaffeine Malate. It is a mixture of caffeine and malic acid. Like other types of caffeine, it improves metabolism, boosts energy, burns fat, and increases mental focus by igniting a thermogenic reaction. When taking 5 mg per kg bodyweight caffeine, study subjects experienced increased oxygen uptake as well as expenditure. Since caffeine behaves as a stimulant, unwanted effects are normal for many. If you are responsive to stimulants, you'll wish to start taking free weight loss samples with free shipping slowly to gauge your tolerance.
Green Select Phytosome Green Tea Leaf. This form of green tea extract is actually a premium standardized extract, plus it targets stubborn fat cells. Green tea is considered the most popular weight loss ingredients since it effectively increases metabolic process and boosts energy. In just one study, 625 mg green tea leaf accelerated abdominal fat loss. Hops. Hops is different since it allows the body to unwind while still promoting weight-loss. Because amounts of NPY are highest during times of stress, hops counters its production. Participants rddqvd insomnia were given 41.9 mg hops and experienced moderate sedative results.
Is Forskolin Safe? Forskolin could potentially cause unwanted effects is because it uses stimulants. Individuals who are understanding of caffeine might experience restlessness, rapid heartbeat, and irritability. However, there haven't been any significant negative effects reported by people who use Forskolin regularly.
In the event you order Forskolin looking at the official website you can get it for 69.95 plus handling and shipping. Even though this might seem like it is on the pricey end of weight loss supplements, it is actually pretty reasonable when you consider Forskolin's many high-quality ingredients and innovative approach to weight reduction.
You can also purchase Forskolin in big amounts. Whenever you purchase two bottles or maybe more, shipping and handling are free of charge. Additionally, you can return one open box of Forskolin for a complete refund, together with any unopened boxes within 90 days of purchase. Although Forskolin takes a different approach to weight reduction, it is what ultimately sets Forskolin above its competitors. If you're sick and tired of trying the conventional weight loss supplement, Forskolin will be the product you have to add spice to your exercise routine. As among the highest rated products, you can't go wrong with trying Forskolin. If you'd like to share your experience, sound off in the comments below.

David Benjamin is just as comfortable manipulating bacteria to create new building materials as he is working with famous clients like Kanye West.
By Wanda Lau
Noah Kalina David Benjamin, cofounder of the design and research studio The Living, is collaborating with plant biologists at the University of Cambridge in England to 3D print materials that mimic the forms and structures of bacteria.
A Nobel laureate sits in the corner of the light-filled dining room, but David Benjamin is too busy trading stories with a world-renowned developmental biologist to notice. Spotting a Nobelist such as Günter Blobel (awarded the prize in 1999 for physiology) isn't unusual at Rockefeller University, a celebrated biomedical research center on the Upper East Side in New York. Rather, it is Benjamin and his graduate students from Columbia University's Graduate School of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation (GSAPP) who stand out among the scientists eating lunch there on this March afternoon.
Benjamin and his protégés have come for an informal pin-up and laboratory tour with Ali Brivanlou, the pioneering stem cell and embryo development researcher. Benjamin and Brivanlou are collaborating on the Advanced Data Visualization Project, launched last summer by GSAPP and media giant Thomson Reuters, to study how big data from cellphones, buildings, and other sources can help drive planning and design decisions in our cities.
The Living Benjamin designed this prototype building envelope that breathes in response to local air quality data as part of his 2008 Living City project. It explored ways that buildings can share sensory data to decrease peak energy usage.
It's not a typical day in the studio for the students, but for Benjamin, 38, crossing disciplines represents the core of his work. The director of GSAPP's Living Architecture Lab, he stands at the nexus of a Venn diagram connecting architecture, synthetic biology, and computation. Consider his project for the U.S. Pavilion at the 2012 Venice Architecture Biennale, in which he strung together mussels to act as a natural biosensor for water quality. Or that one of his formative inspirations is D'Arcy Thompson's 1917 book On Growth and Form, which argues that scientists overvalued evolution and underemphasized physical laws in their studies of the form and structure of organisms. Benjamin co-founded the six-person design and research studio The Living in 2006, and he has worked on projects for clients such as the City of Seoul and the Architectural League of New York. For Nike, he designed a pop-up athletic stadium that was built and disassembled in one day. He secures many commissions through invited competitions and referrals, and the results often meld design, science, and technology in a way that inspires even his colleagues at the pointedly avant-garde GSAPP to ask, "You're doing what?"
Benjamin has always marched to his own beat: After graduating from Harvard University with a bachelor's degree in social studies in the 1990s, he headed to Los Angeles to drum with the indie band the Push Kings. The group never managed to sign with a major label—studio execs back then couldn't fathom geek rock becoming popular—and Benjamin returned to the East Coast in 2002 to study architecture at Columbia.
After you studied social studies as an undergrad, how did you find your way to architecture?
I hadn't studied architecture officially until graduate school. It was a hunch that architecture would combine the kind of art and science that was appealing to me, that it would be creative but also a little bit technical. I had some friends who were studying architecture; I talked to them about it. I didn't know that it would be right, but it turned out it was satisfactory. It fit.
What do you hope to achieve by merging architecture and biology in your work?
Architects have been inspired by biology, have been directly using biology for many years. But there is also all of this hype about this being the century of biology, that an explosion in biological technology, biological discoveries and innovation, will change a lot of aspects of our world. Two loose categories of things could be different: first, the potential to use biological systems to compute solutions to problems at an architectural scale; and second, to use biological systems—in this case, probably bio-engineered systems—to manufacture new materials or physical buildings.
Some current projects [by other architects] are looking more at biology and saying a sea sponge is a great form: Let's make a skyscraper in the design of a sea sponge. I think that you could use biology for computation or for fabrication. The connection is through digital computing tools and through data.
The Living The Brooklyn storefront that Benjamin is designing with Paleo Studio for the salvage company Build It Green! NYC.
Your expertise is more in bio-computation. Are you ever in the lab doing experiments?
I've been working with the biology lab at the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom, [where plant biologists are studying] xylem cells in the stems of plants. They have this incredible way of doing a microscope imaging of hollow 3D cell shapes with an exoskeleton. We translated some of the 3D prints and then basically tried to think about a few ways in which we could execute what we're calling the biological algorithm of the xylem cell in unusual conditions. You can do some genetic tricks. Normally a xylem cell would be in a cylinder shape. But you can induce xylem cells to form into much more complex shapes, like a leaf. So you can ask how that xylem algorithm computed a weird amoeba shape. Another experiment, with the same biology lab, is about using bacteria to manufacture building materials. This is based on the loose premise that you can grow bacteria in a petri dish, and that they can make flexible or rigid materials. Bacteria have very complex spatial patterning. So we can get a thin sheet of material that has really unique properties, because some parts will be flexible and some parts will be rigid. The material bends irregularly based on the pattern.
We're in an intermediate stage where we are using software that biologists created to simulate bacterial phyla. And then we can use a multimaterial 3D printer to print them. It's slower and more difficult to get the actual forms in the petri dish, but we're working on it.
The Living The Living Light pavilion in Seoul, South Korea, was designed in the shape of a city map. Individual neighborhoods light up depending on air quality.
Given your background, has it been hard to do that kind of laboratory work?
Well, I've been inspired by something Sheila Kennedy, [one of the founding principals of Kennedy & Violich Architecture in Boston], said: "I know enough to be dangerous." I've never been an expert in sensors or microcontrollers or modeling data analysis. But I've gradually gained more confidence in being able to pick up key concepts and approaches, knowing just enough to do a very rough prototype, have a good discussion with the expert about it, and then together develop a way forward. Architecture traditionally is very conservative, due to issues such as health and safety. Synthetic biology is untested and theoretical. What are the challenges in merging these two fields together in a unified way?
It's the kind of thing that will seem far away up until the moment that it's proven, and then will rapidly become widely accepted. It isn't quite happening yet, but it's like half a step away. Consider all of the seating for the [2014] World Cup stadiums in Brazil: There's a goal to make those out of bioplastics.
The interesting thing about that version of our biological future is that it will look and feel exactly the same. Those plastic seats will probably not be tangibly different to people, but it would be potentially more radical than any new form of a chair that you could create, because we're making this plastic out of renewable sugar rather than petroleum. The life cycle has 80 percent fewer carbon emissions, and it's obviously incredibly sustainable. That kind of thing is not far away now. Obviously a lot of versions are further away, like using synthetic biology to design a seed that grows into a building.
Do you think that will happen someday?
Versions of that will. Future waves [of research will yield] living systems such as a biological coating that can help buildings self-repair.
For your Amphibious Architecture project, you placed sensors in New York's East River to measure water quality, among other things.
We're now about to start construction on a much bigger, permanent array [at the Pier 35 EcoPark in the East River]. We were saying, "OK, we have these electronic sensors to help us measure something that's normally invisible about the ecosystem and make it publicly ." We're very interested in projects where we bring things to the public realm and help people understand something about the world.
We've migrated in the past year from using electronic sensors to also using biosensors. It turns out that living mussels will open and close their shells—both the rate of opening and the amount—depending on [the level of] pollution in the water. So if we can measure that, then we can basically use this kind of intelligence in biological systems to tell us something that is actually more precise than our best electronic sensors.
The Living A scene from the pop-up stadium Benjamin created with New York–based design group 2×4 for a Nike block party in New York's SoHo neighborhood.
How do you divide your time between Columbia, your firm, and your family? Still playing with the band?
No more music. [Laughs.] It's roughly half and half between teaching and research at Columbia and the practice, which has to support itself by getting these public commissions. The way the family fits in is just like many people told me: You just get more efficient at doing things when you have a child. I've developed, out of necessity, a way of quickly switching gears in five seconds, from reading a book with my son to reviewing some renderings for a new RFP. Where do you see your practice heading?
There's a lot more ground that I'm interested in covering in this territory of bio-computation. But I don't want to become purely a bio-computation researcher for the rest of my life. While that's a big part of what I'm working on now, there are about 37 projects that we didn't talk as much about today. You could have come on a day when we're having meetings with the city and the planning department about getting the East River project approved. Or meetings with this material salvage nonprofit, Build It Green! NYC, about how to build a new storefront in Brooklyn.
I'd like to take more of my projects from a smaller prototype phase to something larger that either has more public impact or tests the widespread viability. Some of my projects for clients like Nike or Kanye West have had a bigger and more permanent scale.
What was your project for Kanye West?
This project is confidential, but it has to do with an entirely new type of movie theater and 3D entertainment experience. In a way, like Amphibious Architecture, it's a prototype for larger ideas, larger exploration.

Honoring Our Founders
When you ask two powerful women if they'll start a bookstore for you, don't be surprised if they are still an integral part of it four decades later.
The Cathedral Bookstore begins its 39th year this month. On October 12, the Dean of the Cathedral honored two retiring founders, Wendy Bentlif and Cynthia Pyle, with a Celebration Tea in the Mellinger Room. The following is an article that appeared in the October 2021 edition of the Cathedral Bulletin and provides some insight on the dedication of these two remarkable volunteers.
The Cathedral Bookstore thrives because of its volunteers
Christ Church Cathedral Bookstore Manager Lucy Chambers thinks of the store as the front porch of the Cathedral.
"It is a part of the Cathedral with a long tradition," Chambers said. "The Bookstore helps to create a welcome and a feeling of family."
A large part of the Bookstore's success is due to its volunteers, two of whom are being honored with a champagne tea on October 12. Cynthia Pyle and Wendy Bentlif, who both recently retired from their duties, had been there since the Bookstore opened on October 16, 1983.
Bentlif remembers her reaction when former Dean J. Pittman McGehee talked to them about staffing the store.
"I turned to [Cynthia] and said, do you think we can do it?" Bentlif said.
The answer was a resounding yes.
To understand what a community jewel the Bookstore is now, you must consider what downtown Houston was like in the early 80s.
"It was vacant," McGehee said of the area when he ar- rived in 1980. "I was a young ambitious priest, and my charge was to bring it back to life."
As he told Chambers for a 2017 blog, he followed Henry Ford's advice: "The greatest wisdom is in doing the obvious." For McGehee, the obvious was taking an "old-fashioned church parlor" known as the Red Room and repurposing it as a center of intellectual curiosity. Opening a restaurant in The Cloisters was an additional community-building move. "People started coming," McGehee said. "It became its own presence."
Pyle, who also was the store's first manager, was on board with a Bookstore from the start.
"I had asked to volunteer," Pyle said. "I'd always been involved in books, schools, and libraries. I told Dean Mc- Gehee and Canon Logan that I thought we could do it. I was sure the volunteers – with me included – would make a great team."
After Alberta Jones, the former manager of Episcopal Bookstore in River Oaks, helped get the store going, Pyle managed the Bookstore until Kathy Jackson became manager around 2003. After Jackson started as assis- tant manager beginning in 1993. Pyle stayed on as a dedicated volunteer leader until the end of 2020.
"I loved creating something," Pyle said.
Over the years, the Bookstore has come to hold a special place in the hearts of staff, volunteers, and patrons.
"The Bookstore is special because it provides a welcoming space for members of the church, the com- munity and the Diocese," Kathy Jackson said. "Sharing stories and experiences in such a beautiful setting draws many repeat customers who are often surprised at the variety of books and gift options this small store offers. The volunteers are absolutely the key element to the longevity of this ministry."
Author, retired priest and 19-year volunteer Earle Martin said he'd always wanted to work in a bookstore.
"I was the only man back in 2002," he said.
Earle was a widower when met his second wife Kristi there. After Kristi passed away, Earle became acquainted with his current wife Nancy through her patronage of the store.
"We just knew each other over the counter at first," he said.
Earle was pleased to do the signing for his second book, The Boy Who Saved My Life, there.
"The thing that makes [the bookstore] special is the people," he said. "It's just a wonderful place."
Long-time volunteer Jan Fitzhugh loves that there is a place to see her friends, check out books and gather on Sunday morning.
"My favorite memories revolve around children sitting on the floor in their section and discovering reading is fun," she said.
Frequent patron the Rev. Ed Stein said it's important to remember that the Bookstore doesn't just serve the Cathedral community.
"[Tourists] come into the Cathedral to find something to look at, and then discover the store and the people who are working there that day and leave having had a personal welcome to the city with maybe a purchase or two – and more importantly leave with a really positive experience of the Episcopal church as a place of friendliness and welcome," Stein said.
"It's so rare to find an independent bookstore nowadays and I think we are a hidden gem in down- town Houston," adds volunteer Roxanne Dolen.
Chambers, who took over for Jackson in 2017, said that the volunteers are the ones who carry the store's history. They also start new traditions, like the 1,000-piece puzzle that Truitt Hallmark, husband of longtime volunteer Pat, oversees.
"I love being in a community of book lovers," Chambers said.
Chambers gives Pyle all the credit for the institutional procedures and sound practices she instituted in the beginning .
"We still use them today," she said.
Chambers also praised Bentlif 's convivial nature. "Wendy was always right there with you," Chambers said. "She made me feel at home."
Pyle and Bentlif say that the Bookstore will always be special to them.
"We all always got on so well together," Bentlif said. "The store was such a big part of my life all these 40 years," added Pyle.
Volunteer Catherine Lippincott sums up nicely the magic of the Bookstore, which goes beyond books. "It's a feeling that is experienced when you walk in the door," she said. "It is rooted in the history, time and tide of the shop. The books ground the space, but the fairy dust comes from the happy spirits who enter and who work there—past and present."
If you want something said, ask a man. If you want something done, ask a woman.
~Margaret Thatcher

A Pocketful of God
God is always with us, but a set of Anglican prayer beads in our pocket can provide tactile reassurance.
In the dueling storms of pandemic and pervasive political unrest, you may be seeking to hold, or find, your center by expanding your prayer practice. Like so many of us, you may feel that these trying times prevent you from focusing the way you once could. While our Episcopalian tradition offers a variety of prayer practices, praying with Anglican prayer beads provides a tactile way to keep focused and may prove particularly helpful. Cool in your hands and pleasing to the eye, the beads can also slip into your pocket and provide comfort even when you are not actively praying. We know that God is always with us but touching this reminder of our prayer life can provide reassurance, wherever we find ourselves.
Praying with beads is a time-honored practice in many faith traditions. In Christianity, The Desert Fathers and Mothers counted out their unceasing prayers with a pocket full of pebbles, which evolved into knotted prayer ropes they used for reciting the Jesus Prayer. By the middle ages, the ropes morphed into the traditional beads on which Catholics pray the Rosary. Then, in the Episcopal Church the 1980s, the practice of using beads as a focus for contemplative prayer and meditation experienced a revival, and Anglican prayer beads emerged. Unlike the prescribed ways the rosary is used, the Anglican prayer-bead practice provides a framework for both traditional and personal prayers.
The form of Anglican prayer beads is laden with symbolism, beginning with the 33 beads which represent the years of Jesus' earthly life. The four larger beads, called cruciform beads, represent the four points of the compass. Between each of the cruciform beads lie the seven beads of the weeks, representing the seven days of creation, the seventh day on which God rested, and the symbolic number for perfection. The single bead that leads from the cross into the circle of weeks is called the invitatory bead. Like a collect at the beginning of a service, it invites us to worship.
Whether you use the beads to pray alone or in a group, the suggested practice is to pray the full circle three times. That number, representing the Trinity, also provides time for distractions to fall away, allowing you to go deeper into prayer. Many traditional prayers have been adapted to the form of the Anglican prayer beads: The Jesus Prayer, the Agnus Dei, the St. Patrick Prayer, and others may be found online. One that seems particularly apt in these times when we need to ask God to give us strength in our isolation and save us from fear is the Julian of Norwich Prayer, which was created by Sister Brigit-Carol, S.D. an Episcopalian hermit in Abilene. Here's how to use the beads to guide you as you pray it:
In the Name of God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen.
The Invitatory
O God make speed to save me (us),
O Lord make haste to help me (us),
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: As it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen.
The Cruciforms
God of your goodness, give me yourself,
For you are enough to me.
And I can ask for nothing less that is to your glory.
And if I ask for anything less, I shall still be in want, for only in you have I all.
The Weeks
All shall be well, and all shall be well,
And all manner of things shall be well.
As you move around the beads three times praying these words, the storms of the world will not cease. But perhaps you will know that you are not alone, and your heart will be lighter. You may find some comfort knowing that you are praying as so many generations before you have. Most importantly, you will be focused on praying rather than worrying. An ancient monk said to the Desert Father St. Anthony "Pray for me." The old man replied, "I will have no mercy upon you, nor will God have any, if you yourself do not make an effort and if you do not pray to God." These strange times seem like very good times for us to pray without ceasing. If a string of Anglican prayer beads can provide the focus you need to deepen your prayer practice, then it is a good thing, indeed.
You can order a set of Anglican prayer beads which have been blessed by a Cathedral priest here.

NASA's Dawn Collects a Bounty of Beauty from Vesta
This image obtained by the framing camera on NASA's Dawn spacecraft shows the south pole of the giant asteroid Vesta. Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/UCLA/MPS/DLR/IDA
› Full image and caption
PASADENA, Calif. - A new video from NASA's Dawn spacecraft takes us on a flyover journey above the surface of the giant asteroid Vesta.
The data obtained by Dawn's framing camera, used to produce the visualizations, will help scientists determine the processes that formed Vesta's striking features. It will also help Dawn mission fans all over the world visualize this mysterious world, which is the second most massive object in the main asteroid belt.
The video, which shows Vesta as seen from Dawn's perspective, can be viewed at: http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/video/index.cfm?id=1020.
You'll notice in the video that Vesta is not entirely lit up. There is no light in the high northern latitudes because, like Earth, Vesta has seasons. Currently it is northern winter on Vesta, and the northern polar region is in perpetual darkness. When we view Vesta's rotation from above the south pole, half is in darkness simply because half of Vesta is in daylight and half is in the darkness of night .
Another distinct feature seen in the video is a massive circular structure in the south pole region. Scientists were particularly eager to see this area close-up, since NASA's Hubble Space Telescope first detected it years ago. The circular structure, or depression, is several hundreds of miles, or kilometers, wide, with cliffs that are also several miles high. One impressive mountain in the center of the depression rises approximately 9 miles (15 kilometers) above the base of this depression, making it one of the highest elevations on all known bodies with solid surfaces in the solar system.
The collection of images, obtained when Dawn was about 1,700 miles (2,700 kilometers) above Vesta's surface, was used to determine its rotational axis and a system of latitude and longitude coordinates. One of the first tasks tackled by the Dawn science team was to determine the precise orientation of Vesta's rotation axis relative to the celestial sphere.
The zero-longitude, or prime meridian, of Vesta was defined by the science team using a tiny crater about 1,640 feet (500 meters) in diameter, which they named "Claudia," after a Roman woman during the second century B.C. Dawn's craters will be named after the vestal virgins-the priestesses of the goddess Vesta, and famous Roman women, while other features will be named for festivals and towns of that era.
The Dawn mission to Vesta and Ceres is managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington. Dawn is a project of the directorate's Discovery Program, managed by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala. UCLA is responsible for overall Dawn mission science. Other scientific partners include Planetary Science Institute, Tucson, Ariz.; Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research, Katlenburg-Lindau, Germany; DLR Institute for Planetary Research, Berlin, Germany; Italian National Institute for Astrophysics, Rome; and the Italian Space Agency, Rome. Orbital Sciences Corporation of Dulles, Va., designed and built the Dawn spacecraft.

Banking's loss is definitely camping's gain. When Alex was made redundant from his IT job in the finance sector, he moved his family to the north west to set up a luxury yurt holiday site, Wild in Style, at Low Wray. Four rather luxurious, cosy yurts, two of which have an extra sleeping area attached, come complete with comfy bed/settees, wood-burning stove and even a dining table and chairs. Bedding, cooking facilities, crockery and cutlery are all provided and there is a firepit or barbecue area with seating outside each yurt too. So, all you need to bring is 'a sense of adventure and a pocket full of fun' – and perhaps some waterproofs, walking boots and a kit bag for kayaking, canoeing and fishing. Scattered among the woods at Low Wray – along with two gypsy caravans if Mum and Dad fancy a stay here someday without the kids in tow – the yurts are a short walk up the hill from the lake's shore and make for a wonderfully hassle-free, back-to-nature family holiday. Although the main campsite is large, with some 120 pitches, it manages to retain a wonderful air of tranquillity. Adults will appreciate the opportunity to watch the sun rise over the lake, gaze at the stars through the yurt's central crown, and wander through the site to marvel at the views over the fells. For the kids, waking up in the yurt surrounded by woodland and having acres of lake, forest and fields to explore on this lovely Lake District campsite spells 'joy' with a capital 'J'.
Well very excited about the Berber Tent and Geodome we now have for 2013.. they are both very interesting structures that offer a unique twist on space. They offer an experience that is really quite different - from the ancient Berber Tent, with its Moroccan roots to the modern design of the Geodome with its iconic styling..
By far the best yurt holiday I have every stayed at, and I've done a few. Luxury, but close to nature. I honestly cannot think of a single thing I would change - which given my wife tells my often how critical I am, that is saying something ;) All I can say is: just do it. A hidden gem, although I've noticed that popularity has increased from last year when trying to book - but that just goes to show the power of "word of mouth". Really good value for what you get. I honestly cannot see who this would not suit given the careful mix of luxury and outdoor proximity. Over the past 5 years we have been to California (RV holiday), Cruise, Club Med and others and this by far the most enjoyable and relaxing, and none of the hasstle of travel. Kids refuse to go anywhere else now, so have booked in for next year... which is absolutely fine by us!

Groups (though only 2 of the yurts are next to each other) – yes. Tents, campervans, caravans – no. Dogs – call ahead to check. Campfires in firepits.
Acres of fields and woods to run, play or cycle in, 2 play areas and, of course, the lake to wander around or get wet paddling, swimming, canoeing or kayaking. The National Trust site reception has a free Low Wray Wildlife Hunt to help younger children discover more about the birds, insects and animals that live on and around the site. Each yurt comfortably sleeps 4 and there are roll mats and Z-beds available on request. Just down the hill from the yurts is a newly refurbished facilities block that has plenty of toilets, showers and washbasins as well as a couple of washing-up sinks outside. Although bedding and cooking gear is provided, there is no fridge so bring a coolbox and freezer packs (which you can refreeze at the site shop and reception), if you want an alternative to cooling your wine in the lake. Don't forget to bring a torch, too. Low Wray has extensive recycling facilities, a laundry room, a disabled toilet and shower, 2 children's playgrounds, a lakeside beach and boating launch, a shop selling basics (and providing local info) and an upmarket catering van for breakfasts, afternoon teas and evening meals.
The Beatrix Potter Gallery in Hawkshead (01539 436355) is about 4 miles away and has a children's trail through displays of Beatrix Potter's watercolour paintings of Peter Rabbit and friends. Nearby, her house at Hill Top is also run by the National Trust. Or head to Zeffirellis in Ambleside for a movie and meal deal (see Food and Drink, below).
The wood-burning stoves are great for drying clothes, but make sure you keep them a suitable distance away.
Walk up the hill to Wray Castle and down to the lake to hop on a Windermere Lake Cruise to see Bowness, Ambleside and the Lake District Visitor Centre at Brockhole (01539 446601). It has an soft indoor play area and an outdoor adventure playground with rope walks, slides, zip wires and scramble nets, and you can hire a kayak for £10 an hour. A walkers' ticket allows you to take a break at any of the stops and catch a later boat.
The Outgate Inn (01539 436413) is about a 45-minute walk from the site and offers good food made with local produce. Try Zeffirellis (01539 433845) or Fellinis (01539 432487) in Ambleside, where you can have a 2-course movie deal or a pizza-and-film deal; children's portions available.
Prices range from £259-499 depending on the size of the yurt and the length of your stay.
From Ambleside, take the A593 and turn left at Clappersgate, onto the B5286. Turn left at the sign for Wray and the site is less than a mile on the left.
The Coniston Rambler bus no. 505/506 from Ambleside or Windermere drops you to within a mile of the site.

Oktober 1970 empfing Guballa durch Johannes Kardinal Willebrands in Rom das Sakrament der Priesterweihe. An der Gregoriana wurde er 1975 mit der Arbeit Das Jus [Ius] divinum der confessio integra bei Melchior Cano O.P. zum Dr. theol. promoviert; sein Doktorvater war der 2012 zum Kardinal kreierte Dogmatiker, Karl Josef Becker SJ. Guballa war zunächst Kaplan in St. Georg in Bensheim. 1977 wurde er Subregens und Ökonom am Diözesanpriesterseminar in Mainz. 1982 betraute ihn Hermann Kardinal Volk mit der Leitung der Katholischen Hochschulgemeinde St. Albertus in Mainz. 1991 übernahm er die Pfarrei St. Ludwig in Darmstadt. Ein Jahr später wurde Guballa zum Dekan des Dekanates Darmstadt gewählt. Am 1. Oktober 1996 wurde Werner Guballa in der Nachfolge von Martin Luley Generalvikar im Bistum Mainz, sowie zum residierenden Domkapitular und zum Mitglied des Geistlichen Rates ernannt.

The Book of Table-talk, Volume 2
By Charles MacFarlane
Third, spared. The following contemporary account, extracted from Cole's "Athenae Cantabrigienses," will give some notion of the excitement that prevailed; but it must be borne in mind that Cole was a high-church man, and a personal friend of Archbishop Cornwallis. "It is inconceivable the clamour, uproar, and rage, which the order from the Archbishop to observe decently Good Friday, in 1777, gave to the faction: for many weeks together the presbyterian newspapers were full of abuse and lies relating to Archbishop Cornwallis and his family; and when one expected it should have subsided, two months after the day was observed, out comes the following long and severe paragraph in the London Evening Post of May 29, 1777,-a paper, one would rather suppose to have been printed in the capital of New England than at London, on the Bishop of Chester, who, as a decent and respectable man, on that score is an offence to the fanatical tribe. "'On the late announcing a sort of outlandish name, one Porteus, to an English bishopric, I naturally asked what was become of all our old, learned, and venerable clergy, of the best families, that they were all passed over with so much contempt and injustice 2 I was informed that the young prelate was a man distinguished by his Majesty's own judgment, and exalted by his mere personal favour, as one of the most promising talents and disposition to fill the sacred office in a manner the most suitable to his own pious feelings and sentiments, and the mild and liberal plan of government adopted by him. A countenance and a character so clear of cynical and ecclesiastical pride and austerity could not escape the penetrating observation and the generous sympathy of the royal patron. A Charles has had his favourite Laud. Similar characters and principles will always attract each other. It has indeed been insinuated that, over and above the great merit of Scottish extraction and interest, he has distinguished himself as a ministerial writer in the public papers, almost as much as by the stretch of church power and arrogance in shutting up the City shops on Good Friday; which, as a sanctified, hypocritical triumph over both reason and Scripture, the civil and religious rights of Englishmen, could not but be highly acceptable to tyrants and hypocrites of every denomination, particularly at court. By this experiment on the tame and servile temper of the times, it is thought the Host and Crucific may be elevated to prostrate crowds in dirty streets some years sooner than could have been reasonably expected. And when a Wedderburne shall be keeper of the King's conscience and seals, and a Porteus of the spiritual keys, as the alterius orbis papa, there is no doubt but our consciences, and our property too, will be effectually taken care of."
III, POPULAR PASTIMEs.
THE popular pastimes of the time of James the First are enumerated in the following lines, in a little work entitled "The Letting of Humour's Blood in the Headvaine; with a New Morisco daunced by seven Satyres upon the bottome of Diogenes' tubbe:" 8vo, Lond. 1611.
"Man, I dare challenge thee to THRow THE SLEDGE,
To jump or LEAPE over ditch or hedge,
To WRASTLE, play at STOOLEBALL, or to RUNNE :
To PITCH THE BARRE, or to SHOOTE OFF A GUNNE:
To play at Loggets, NINE Holes, or TEN PINNEs:
To try it out at Foot-BALL by the shinnes:
At TICKTACKE, IRISH NoDDIE, MAw, and RUFFE,
At HoT-cockLES, LEAP-FROG, or BLINDMAN-BUFFE;
To drinke halfe-pots, or deale at the whole can:
To play at BASE, or PEN-AND-YNKHORNE SIR Jhan ;
To daunce the MoRRIs, play at BARLEY-BREAKE,
At all exploytes a man can thinke or speake;
At SHOve-GROATE, VENTER-Poynt, or CRosse & PILE,
At BESHRow HIM THAT's LAST AT YONDER STYLE ;
At LEAPING O'ER A MIDSOMMER-BON-FIER,
Or at the DRAWING DUN ouT OF THE MYER:
At any of those, or all these presently,
Wagge but your finger, I am for you, I'"
IV. UMBRELLAS.
IN "Remarkable Occurrences in the Life of Jonas Hanway," by John Pugh, (Lond. 1787,) it is stated that " he was the first man who ventured to walk the streets of London with an umbrella over his head. After carrying one nearly thirty years, he saw them come into general use." Umbrellas, however, were used by females long prior to Hanway's time. In Gay's "Trivia, or the Art of walking the streets of London," published in 1712, the year in which Hanway was born, the following description of the umbrella is given: "Good housewives all the winter's rage despise, Defended by the ridinghood's disguise; Or underneath the umbrella's oily shed, Safe through the wet on clinking pattens tread. Let Persian dames the umbrella's ribs display, To guard their beauties from the sunny ray; Or sweating slaves support the shady load When Eastern monarchs show their state abroad : Britain in winter only knows its aid, To guard from chilly showers the walking maid." It has been stated that Hanway first imported the idea into Britain, having felt the benefits of the umbrella during his travels in Persia, where they were in constant use as a protection from the sun. The preceding extract proves the contrary, and the following passage from Coryat's Crudities shows that the umbrella had been well described in England a century and a half before Jonas Hanway's time. "Also many of the Italians doe carry other fine things of a far greater price, that will cost at least a duckat, which they commonly call in the Italian tongue Umbrel
laes, that is, things that minister shadow unto them for shelter against the scorching heate of the sunne. These are made of leather something answerable to the forme of a little cannopy, and hooped in the inside with divers little wooden hoopes, that extend the umbrella in a pretty large compasse. They are used especially by horsemen, who carry them in their handes when they ride, fastening the end of the handle upon one of their thighs; and they impart so long a shadow unto them, that it keepeth the heate of the sun from the upper part of their bodies." It was more probably his neatness in dress and delicate constitution which led Jonas Hanway, on his return from abroad, to appropriate a luxury hitherto confined to the ladies. The following is Mr. Pugh's description of the general appearance of Mr. Hanway: " In his dress, as far as was consistent with his ideas of health and ease, he accommodated himself to the prevailing fashion. As it was frequently necessary for him to appear in polite circles, on unexpected occasions, he usually wore dress clothes with a large French bag. His hat, ornamented with a gold button, was of a size and fashion to be worn as well under the arm as on the head. When it rained, a small parapluie" defended his face and wig." The absence of almost all allusion to the umbrella by the wits of the seventeenth century, while the fan, the muff, &c. receive so large a share of attention, shows, that it was far from being recognised as an article of convenient luxury. Its clumsy shape probably prevented its being freely used: Dryden has

4-year-old Lands Record Golden Trout, Adding to Family's IGFA Honors
This Virginia family keeps landing record fish. Their latest catch, a 2-pound golden trout from the Wyoming backcountry
By Morgan Lyle | Published Aug 30, 2021 2:00 PM
Caroline May Evans with her record golden trout. Joseph Putnam Evans
If you happen to meet 5-year-old Caroline May Evans, she may want to tell you about the fish she caught. It's a story worth hearing: She and her mom and dad hiked 12 miles into the remote Wind River Mountains of Wyoming, where she swung a red worm over the outlet of a lake with no name and caught what turns out to be a world-record golden trout.
Caroline's fish, landed on July 8, a few days before her 5th birthday, weighed 2 pounds, a remarkable size for a golden and good enough for the record in the International Game Fish Association's (IGFA) 10-and-under Smallfry division. It was her third golden of the day. "She kept very calm until the fish was in the net, I guess observing how her mom and I do it," says her father, Joseph Putnam Evans, "and then she started jumping for joy."
The Evans family on the trail. Joseph Putnam Evans
The family quickly measured the trout, then Caroline laid down alongside the outlet and revived the fish until it darted away. "We knew she had a record," Evans says. "We're not really record chasers, but when we catch a huge one like that, we knew we had to document it."
Why did the family happen to have a certified scale? Because on a trip last year, Evans says he "knew my wife was going to catch some records," and he was right. Huan Zhou, an economist who grew up in a non-outdoorsy home in China, set three line-class IGFA records in July 2020 for golden, bull, and cutthroat trout. Evans has also set a record in Idaho with a 19.7-inch golden trout caught in Pass Lake in the Lost River range.
Evans and Zhou met while he was an exchange student at Peking University. The family lives today in Arlington, Virginia. Evans, a North Carolina native, has been crazy about fishing since age 3, but notes that "Caroline has me beat by six months," since she caught her first trout on a cane pole in West Virginia at 2 and a half.
Caroline's parents each with their record-breaking trout. Joseph Putnam Evans
Golden trout are rare and don't come easy. They are native to the Kern River in California but have been successfully stocked in Montana, Wyoming, and Utah. Ultra-spooky, they will scatter at the shadow of a fly line, so golden specialists tend to use spinning rods rigged with 2-pound line. "There are probably only about two dozen really serious golden trout anglers in the world, and we all know each other," says Evans. His obsession with finding likely places to catch goldens sometimes takes up 20 hours a week and amounted to "one of the most daunting research of records of my life."
Caroline apparently isn't daunted by much. The hike in, to an area Evans determined to be mostly bear-free, covered 4,000 feet of elevation change. Evans carried 93 pounds of gear on his back and Zhou lugged a third of her weight. But Caroline led the way. Where she wasn't tall enough to see the trail, her dad coached her to go left or right.

"It was a long trip, but we brought a lot of the comforts of home with us," he says. "Caroline was never the first one to call for a rest. In fact, she was actually tugging on us to keep going."
Don't be surprised if you see more records from the trout-obsessed family: "We plan to go after some rare trout in China next summer," Evans says.
