XYZZY Software has been approached by CQU to develop a system to assist unit coordinators in the management of marks. The system will be initially trialled for COIT20258 and a phased implementation strategy will be adopted. This document reflects the current state of the design for the Phase 2 system.
In addition, it was decided that the architecture of the application was to conform to MVP (Model View Presenter).
As with the Phase 1 design, a class diagram is provided in Section 6 which must be followed.
• in this phase, browsing is required and the text fields are to be used to both display the current record and it input query data. The text area is to be used only to display messages.
• the IView interface no longer contains a display() method, as record and message updating is now initiated by ResultsModel. Instead, it contains methods to clear the display and to enable/disable the Previous and Next buttons. ResultsController will initiate this functionality.
• with exceptions, there is no need to display a message, as the expectation is that when a query throws an exception, the application will exit. However, do print a stack trace to standard output.

Hazard: Matterslip!
This article originally appeared in the August 2015 issue.
Shaansi hardly noticed the snap of cold air as she sped down the snow-covered slope. The wind on her face, the sunlight glinting off the ice, the sound of her skis atop the frozen blanket, the challenges of the backcountry—these gave her reason to live. Sure, she could get mostly the same effect with a gravboard, but there was nothing like the feel of skis against snow; of controlling her motion through friction and body-sense, not through electronics and computers. Her friends—especially the younger ones—couldn't understand it, and she couldn't explain it to them. It just was.
A gravboard's advantage was that it was quieter. Shaansi didn't want quiet. She wanted the sirrush of the skis as her constant companion. They drowned out all else: the sight of her father in that automed, her brother's betrayal, the court's decision… all lost in the sound and the blur of the slopes.
Unfortunately, the skis were also just loud enough to cover the first sounds of trouble. Shaansi missed the initial "thump" of the snowpack upslope separating. She became aware of the problem seconds later only as the barest hint of vibration and an increasing rumble. At first perplexed, her skier's training quickly took over. A glance uphill showed her white impending hell.
Fighting panic, she poled hard toward a patch of trees, hoping to use them to break the avalanche's power. The wall of snow loomed closer with each terrified glance at its progress.
Shaansi's fear drove her. Harder! Faster! She poled with all her might. The world became a slow motion blur. The approaching avalanche. The approaching trees. The fleeing birds. The horrible roar of the disaster, however, wasn't in slow motion; it steadily increased in volume, amping up her terror.
Almost there! Ten meters… five… then with a quickly-smothered scream of despair, she was brutally slammed away from hope and refuge. Her world became one of cold and pain as she was borne uncontrollably to an uncertain fate.
Gravity exists universally. What goes up must come down. Anything sitting on a slope—especially if that object is in a precarious position to begin with—will eventually find its way to the bottom of that slope. Sometimes with disastrous results.
Matterslips are constant dangers in any raised terrain such as mountains and foothills. Composed of a variety of substances, they also vary in their danger.
Author's Note: while based on real-world science, the concepts presented here are part of a game. Nothing presented here is intended to be used in real-life situations. Matterslips (avalanches, landslides, rockslides, and mudslides) are dangerous phenomena that cause injuries and death, and are best avoided. When in 'slip-prone areas, always observe authorities' warnings regarding their potential and the areas where they are likely to occur.
Defining a Matterslip
Matterslip is an umbrella term coined by Imperial scientists to describe a quickly-moving surge of material (including snow, rocks, earth, or mud) down a slope. The most stereotypical variant is an avalanche, a matterslip composed mainly of snow. Matterslips are also known (depending on composition) as landslides, rockslides, and mudslides.
Just as matterslips vary, so do methods of classifying them. Indeed, each world has its own system; Imperial authorities typically utilize the local classifications. For our purposes, matterslips can be broadly categorized on a scale based on their destructiveness:
Relatively harmless; no risk of injury
Capable of burying, injuring/killing unprotected beings
Capable of damaging/destroying/burying small vehicles (ex: ground cars) and small structures
Capable of damaging/destroying/burying large vehicles (ex: ATVs, Ship's Boats) and large structures
Capable of damaging/destroying/burying starships or small towns
Capable of damaging/destroying/burying anything in its path; an historical event
The Making of a Matterslip
Matterslips are among the most common of natural hazards. All that's needed are some form of solid matter, a slope of 30°-45° (steeper slopes prevent accumulation; shallower slopes prevent the generation of the force necessary for the 'slip's power), and gravity. Usually the material involved is in a precarious position atop or along the slope, with either a stress fracture running through some part of it or part of its mass unsupported. When a trigger event occurs, a portion of the matter breaks loose and cascades downslope. Triggers can be anything that provides enough shock or resonance to cause a mechanical failure of the unsupported material; this is often seismic activity, but can include water erosion, human or other sapient activity, or volcanic action. Contrary to popular belief, matterslips cannot be caused by loud sounds; the trigger must be mechanical in nature.
Once begun, the 'slip builds by collecting other materials. In the beginning this is merely more snow, rocks, or whatever else the 'slip is composed of, but plant matter, vehicles, and structures in the disaster's path are also borne along if the 'slip is large and powerful enough. Most matterslips grow in size and intensity as they go, and can become quite large. A massive avalanche triggered by a strong earthquake struck the nation of Peru, on Terra's South American continent, in -2548 (1970 CE). The avalanche, 61 million cubic meters of material measuring over 900 meters wide and 17 kilometers long, buried two towns and killed over 20,000. An even larger matterslip on Terra's North American continent in -2505 (2013 CE) claimed no lives but measured 126 million cubic meters, shut down a copper mine, and fell into a 1.6 kilometer deep pit so hard that earthquakes were recorded.
Fortunately for potential victims, matterslips are short-lived. They move fast, and can reach speeds of 128 kph in 5 seconds. One can be over and done in the space of just a few combat rounds.
Surviving a Matterslip
It is possible to survive a matterslip. The best way also happens to be the most common way: don't be in the path of one. This includes staying alert to the possibility of a 'slip:
Watching the surrounding terrain for changes, especially sudden ones. Such changes include:
Cracks in the ground or paved areas appearing and slowly widening
Changes in stormwater drainage
Ground bulging at the base of a slope
Water breaking through the ground in certain locations
Cracks appearing in nearby structures
Vertical structures (poles, trees, etc.) tilting or moving
Boulders or trees making unusual sounds or motions such as cracking or moving together
Small "precursor" 'slips, especially if the remaining material appears precarious.
Watching the weather; landslides and mudslides often accompany periods of intense or sustained, ground-saturating rainfall. Avalanches are most likely in the 24 hours following an intense snowfall (more than 30 cm.)
Learning the history of the terrain from locals. The surroundings may have a history of such events.
Paying attention to authorities' warnings about the possibility of matterslips.
Regardless of the type of matterslip, a common survival tactic is to move from the 'slip's center path as quickly as possible; the most force and fastest speeds usually happen in the middle of the 'slip.
If an adventurer is caught by surprise and/or moving aside isn't possible, survival depends on the nature of the 'slip:
Landslides, mudslides: the hero should curl up into a tight ball while protecting his or her head, including wearing a helmet. If within a multi-level structure, the hero should climb to the second level; this also removes him or her from the debris path.
Rockslides: the hero should get as close as (s)he can to the slope, protect the head, and not look up.
Avalanches: Surviving an avalanche is a bit more involved. Many avalanches are triggered by the victim or companions. If the snow fractures underfoot, jumping upslope past the fracture may be enough to avoid being caught in the 'slip. Heroes also should shed extra weight (such as backpacks, extraneous equipment, etc.) quickly in order to become as lightweight as possible. If the adventurer can grab onto a nearby object, this can prevent being carried away and buried if the avalanche is small. If escape or holding on isn't possible, the adventurer should begin swimming (yes, swimming) in order to stay closer to the surface of the snow. Adventurers who become buried are up against the clock; hypothermia and suffocation are certain unless rescue is nearby. Buried victims should dig an air pocket in front of their face (to prevent suffocation) and conserve their energy. While it's possible for the PC to dig him or herself out if near the snow's surface, in most cases rescue must come from outside.
Aftermath of a Matterslip
A matterslips usually passes quickly. Once it has passed, the responses to the aftermath are usually the same, regardless of world or tech level: locate and rescue survivors (if any) and leave the area. Although a matterslip's danger may appear over, there may be more 'slips if the terrain is unstable or being affected by severe weather. Mudslides in particular often occur in multiples.
Matterslips are a strictly local phenomenon, so their economic and environmental impact is relatively small. Avalanches can take a toll on arctic tourism, but usually occur in wilderness areas where guests can be easily steered away from dangerous zones. Mudslides and landslides are another matter. Either can occur in urban or otherwise-developed areas, taking homes and shops with them. The economic impact in this case is far more immediate and painful. The stricken area can take months to recover from a severe 'slip, especially if essential services were also affected. Mudslides can affect infrastructure, with mud overwhelming commerce and sanitation facilities, burying roads, clogging or destroying waste treatment facilities, and destroying cropland. Naturally, a sufficiently large 'slip can completely bury entire towns.
Refereeing a Matterslip
To begin, the referee must decide on the angle of the slope. Remember that matterslips occur on slopes of 30°-45°; for simplicity, the referee should decide on either 30° or 45°. The severity of the matterslip is also a factor; using the categories above, the referee can assign a severity or determine one by throwing 1D.
As noted, matterslips rarely just happen; there is usually a trigger. In the case of an avalanche, that trigger is often sapient activity. If the PCs are moving through an avalanche zone, a throw of 6+ means one or more of the party has triggered a break of the snow's fracture zone (DMs: +2 for heavy activity such as combat, +4 if they are deliberately trying to start one). If the trigger throw succeeds, each PC may immediately throw DEX or less to jump upslope and avoid being carried downslope.
Mudslides are more random. Sapient activity doesn't trigger one; they occur in a region of heavy rain or flooding. If either of these conditions exists, and there is sufficient slope (see above), throw 7+ for one to occur (DMs: +1 for every 15 minutes of heavy rain, +1 if the slope is 45°).
Landslides can happen very quickly, with the land suddenly sliding out from under creatures and structures, or they can happen over time. Once one begins, however, they behave as any other matterslip. The referee should decide whether the landslide is fast or slow. If fast, then it uses the same chances of being triggered as a mudslide (above), with the same DMs. If the landslide is slow, the referee should use a DM of +1 per day of heavy rain rather than every 15 minutes.
The referee should also consider the terrain. A mudslide obviously can't happen on a snow-covered slope, for instance.
A matterslip, once triggered, moves quickly—its speed is 10D meters per second. The referee should decide how far it has to travel to reach the victim—which establishes their reaction time—and the total distance to the bottom of the slope.
To calculate a matterslip's damage, use the following procedure:
Divide the slope by 15. A 30° slope thus equals 2, 45° equals 3. This is the 'slope factor' (SL)
Divide the 'slip's speed in mps by 10. This is the 'speed factor' (SP)
Note the 'slip's category number (above).
If the composition of the 'slip is solid (i.e., rocks or ice chunks), multiply by 2.
Plug the results into the following equation:
(SL)×(SP)×(category)×(composition, if solid)
This gives the dice of damage the 'slip does to whatever is in its path. It hits as a Club, and uses the same armor matrix (Book 1: Characters and Combat). Armor protects normally. If the PCs move to either side of the 'slip, where the force is less—or in the case of a land- or mudslide, curl into a tight ball—halve the damage. If they use trees, rocks, and other objects as cover, treat such objects as Cloth armor.
The victims are carried along by the matterslip for 1D-2 combat rounds. Multiply this by the meters per second (above) to determine the distance. If the damage done is greater than the sum of the hero's STR, DEX and END, (s)he is then buried and takes 1D of suffocation damage per minute (4 combat rounds) unless rescued.
Forecasting a Matterslip
Scientists have studied the causes and the preceding conditions of matterslips, and can forecast them with some degree of reliability. PCs who closely monitor local weather conditions can often make these forecasts themselves. Electronic sensors may even give them a reasonable timeframe in which a 'slip will happen (for example, using sensors to detect and monitor the fracture zones in large snow deposits.)
"I happen to know something about matterslips…"
Naturally, PCs with the most knowledge of and experience with matterslips are those who have lived or worked in 'slip-prone areas; especially avalanche zones, where knowledge of them is crucial to protecting slope-goers. Such individuals include wilderness guides, park rangers, game wardens, conservationists, geologists, and anyone else who spends a great deal of time in the outdoors.
Some Traveller careers are suited as background for a hero professing knowledge of matterslips. Scientists (Supplement 4: Citizens of the Imperium) are obviously knowledgeable, but Hunters—who necessarily spend time outside tracking bounty across varied terrain—would have at least a passing knowledge of 'slips and their triggers. Barbarians may know the locales to avoid by intuition, or simply knowing the history of the area if prone to regular matterslips.
Several skills are useful in dealing with matterslips: Computer skill allows modeling to determine which areas are in danger of burial or destruction, with an eye toward mitigation or prevention. Demolition skill (Supplement 4: Citizens of the Imperium) lets heroes place charges or artillery in ways that grant control of a resulting 'slip, or trigger one prematurely to prevent a worse one. Electronics skill allows for the use of scanners to detect fracture zones, approaching weather that may increase the chances of a 'slip, and quick detection of victims. Recon skill gives the ability to spot conditions that lead to 'slips and plan routes to avoid them. Survival skill is also invaluable for this, as well as specific survival techniques and rescue operations.
The Matterslip's Impact on the Game
Referees can use a matterslip in much the same way they can use any other natural occurrence: as a direct threat to challenge the PCs; as background or a preliminary to an adventure; as an additional obstacle to overcome during an adventure; and even as a deus ex machina in case the adventurers get stuck.

Q: Setting margin-left on a button pushes it beyond the right side of the container Although I can work around this, I'm curious: why is it when I set a button's width to 100% and set the margin-left property, that it pushes it beyond the containing box (on the right side)? I've tried changing the display property on the button to other values, but I'm getting the same result. Example here:
https://codesandbox.io/s/sharp-nobel-r5x8k

Hello Vanilla!

  <button>Beyond bounds</button>

Stays in bounds

div#one {
  background-color: blue;
  width: 200px;
  padding-top: 1rem;
  padding-bottom: 1rem;
}

div#two {
  background-color: green;
  margin-left: 2rem;
}

button {
  width: 100%;
  margin-left: 2rem;
}

A: There are a few things to understand here.

*

*div#one has a fixed pixel width (200px).

*The button has a set width 100%. 100% means it inherits the full
width of the parent container.

*div#two has no defined width, which means it defaults to auto.

*margin property creates extra space around an element.

With these things in mind, we can now get into specifics as to why this scenario occurs.
Since div#one is working with a set width, the space inside the container will be confined within that dimensional space.
div#two does not have any specific width, which means it defaults to auto.
What does that mean? It means that:

*

*width: auto; will try as hard as possible to keep an element the
same width as its parent container when additional space is added
from margins, padding, or borders. This is why that in your current scenario, div#two stays within bounds, because it has yet to break into an overflow case.

*width: 100%; will make the element as wide as the parent container.
Extra spacing will be added to the element's size without regards to
the parent. This is why the button exceeds its parent container with exactly 2rem.

We Did It Together Play
An event every week that begins at 12:00 am on Sunday, Friday and Saturday, repeating until June 12, 2022
« ABBA – The Concert: A Tribute to ABBA
We Did it Together Community Play »
New original play at Jonesborough's art center
The McKinney Center at Booker T. Washington hosts a new original play, We Did It Together. The production opens Friday, June 3 and runs Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays through Sunday, June 12.
Tickets are $17 for general admission and $13 for seniors and students. Groups of 10 or more have a group rate of $13 each. Tickets available at mckinneycenter.com/play.
This play, the fourth in a series of original community plays at the McKinney Center and written by Jules Corriere, is based on exciting stories from people in Jonesborough and the surrounding region. It explores the many ways that families, organizations, communities and even the country have come together to accomplish great things.
A few stories in the play feature the Rambo and Herrin cattle drives on Glenwood Drive to Spring Street in the 50's; Ernest McKinney's historic election in 1968; Agnes Lowe and the Cadet Nurse Corps of World War II; a courageous family's escape from Cuba as Castro rose to power; and even some tales of ghosts at the Bledsoe House in Jonesborough. More than twenty different extraordinary local stories will be featured in the play.
This production is written, directed, composed and choreographed by members of the original team that brought the first community play, I Am Home, to Jonesborough in 2011. Playwright Jules Corriere, who has just won and placed in six international film festivals, will be joined by director Richard Owen Geer, composer Heather McCluskey, music director and accompanist Brett McCluskey and choreographer Kevin Iega Jeff of Deeply Rooted Dance Company in Chicago.

"Pope Benedict saw the liturgy and a return to the liturgical mystogogical theology of the Fathers as healing, both for the West in particular, but also for the division between East and West, as did VII in Sacrosanctum Concillium and its general call to return to Patristic study."
Surely this was in many respects a Jesuit-led project, spearheaded by such friends and colleagues of the future Pope Benedict as Henri de Lubac SJ, Jean Daniélou SJ and Hans Urs von Balthasar (laicised SJ). De Lubac and Daniélou, together with Claude Mondésert SJ, established the Sources Chrétiennes series which has been one of the foundation stones of the Patristic revival. Ratzinger, de Lubac and Balthasar co-founded the journal Communio, which has always given voice to what we now think of as Pope Benedict's characteristic approach to a whole range of issues. Is the de Lubac/Daniélou approach to theology still prominent within the modern Society of Jesus, or did it go out of fashion among Jesuits in the years after V2?
These were exceptions to the great run of Jesuits, they certainly stand out as contrary to Rahner and his school which seemed to dominate Jesuit theology for the latter half of the 20th century, as well as Lonergan, Haight and Sobrini and that whole bunch of Jesuit liberationist.
I am not quite sure if those you mention would be seen by Jesuits as Jesuit theologians.
What do you that mental prayer is not monastic? Monks meditate, and meditation is mentioned in the rule of St. Benedict. Isn't that the same thing as mental prayer?
"Disdain for liturgy" is surely a bit strong? The Spiritual Exercises presuppose a regular liturgical programme: the third daily time of prayer in the retreat is before or after Mass, the fourth at the time of Vespers (Note 72). Likewise Ignatius' third rule for thinking with the Church entails praising 'the hours set at the time fixed for each Divine Office and for all prayer and all canonical hours.' The way of life followed by Jesuits may make it difficult for them to pray the offices together, but that is a far cry from saying they ignore the importance of liturgy.
You say that "another Jesuit innovation was mental prayer - unknown in ancient monastic Rules." But the whole purpose of Benedict's Rule (drawn partly from earlier rules) and monastic life generally is to provide a framework in which the monk can devote himself to continual listening to God, i.e. mental prayer. The liturgy is not so much an end in itself, but a means to that intention, as is everything else in the communal life of the monastery.
We, everyone in the Church, surely need both liturgy and individual prayer, especially silent contemplative prayer. They feed each other, one without the other is impoverished, and every Jesuit I have ever known would I think say that.
Are you really just setting up yet another anti-Vatican II Aunt Sally to knock over?
He speaks about meditating on ones's sins but not meditative or mental prayer.
St Benedict certainly lays a foundation in which contemplation takes place but that springs from the liturgy, reading and silence.
Ignatius systematised mental prayer, pursued it for its own sake, in his system it replaced what Benedict used the psalmody for.
I do not think "disdain" is too strong, the Office became an individualistic thing, not something for the whole Church, not something for the laity, not something for preaching on or teaching, or even meditating on, and not something to form believers.
You've mentioned VI and VII before, but it is worth saying that the fruits of Trent aren't necessarily the unmixed blessing we were brought up to believe they were as well.
I have often suggested the Spirit of VI wrought more damage than the Sp of VII.
I have wondered about the Sp of Trent, I suppose, yes, it is anti-liturgicalism, and a separation of theology and the life of the Church from liturgy, putting liturgy outside of the Church, making it into a devotion.
I think you are making a leap here, Father. The Jesuits were not founded as a contemplative or monastic Order, but as an active one - engaged in any evangelical work the Holy Father set them to and not necessarily geared to community living.
My own Order was also founded as an active Order not long after the Jesuits. No communal recitation of the Office - as members were out serving the community. Each priest prayed the Office on his own. There were 'morning prayers' and an hour of meditation, before daily Mass, and communal night prayers (if you lived in community – not everyone did…), but not Vespers or Compline in common.
But that should not be taken as a lack of concern for the Liturgy. The Mass has always been the central focus of Liturgy for all Orders – active or contemplative. The Divine Office - celebrated communally - less so.
It sounds rather odd to say that Ignatius pursued mental prayer for its own sake. Its purpose in the Spiritual Exercises is to help the retreatant deepen his following of Christ. It is not a parallel to the use of psalms in the Benedictine office. The psalms are sung and meditated on to foster the prayer of the monk which he will continue in individual lectio. Ignatian imaginative contemplation is a variant of that praying with Scripture.
I guess many things can become ends in themselves - and that includes liturgy. This may be why a contemporary Benedictine wrote, 'Religion is meaningless if it is confined to external and ritual acts of worship. Liturgy and ritual only have meaning when they are inspired by conversion of heart.' All the great spiritual guides are primarily, I think, concerned with that. If they do not say much about the importance of liturgy it is only because, like Ignatius, they take it for granted that it will be at the heart of the Church's life, the indispensable context in which conversion can take place, whose content indeed feeds into the process of conversion.
I do think you are imagining a quite false disjunction, Fr. Blake. Benedict, Francis, Ignatius are not setting up competing systems. They merely offer variations on Gospel spirituality.
As you probably know Father, the Benedictine 'spiritual reading' or Lectio Divina includes meditation of course: Lectio, meditatio, oratio, contemplatio.
Are not all schools of prayer more or less based upon these foundational elements, even the Exercises. I may understand that all too simply however.
Father, you are very brave. I had many friends when I was at NDU for six years who were Jesuits, and to a priest, they never wore blacks, said their own versions of the NO, and some even skipped saying daily Mass. Brilliant some were, and we had many excellent discussion, but really, liturgy was not a concern, not on their theological radar.
The separation between excellent mental prayer as taught in the Spiritual Exercises, their deep concern for the poor, and their liturgical apathy baffled me. All them, of course, were steeped in Liberation Theology.
Sadly, their influence in the Catholic Church in America can be seen in the departure of orthodoxy at Georgetown, Loyola, Marquette and Creighton, where all my many cousins who went there lost their faith, as did another member of my family at Marquette. Of course, none believe in Humanae Vitae.
Why? Bad liturgies--lex orandi, lex credendi, lex vivendi, and I know this from first hand.
I love St. Ignatius and cut my teeth in prayer on his meditations and retreats. But, sadly the Sons of Ignatius are somewhere else in discernment than I am.
I have been fortunate to be guided through the 30 day retreat and must say i do not recognise your depiction of Ignatian spirituality. Mass is central to everyday of the exercises.
Lectio divina is a long established way of monastic meditative prayer and can easily fit into the Exercises. Imaginative prayer is a suggestion by Inigo, it is not demanded.
I'm sorry Fr. but i think you are setting up a false dichotomy.
Jesuit theology has many many variances, from Roger Haight to Sebastiaan Tromp from Jon Sobrino to John Hardon.
I suspect that some above are possibly debating at cross-purposes (interesting though it is!).
Perhaps disdain is too strong, but certainly the Jesuit approach was to make liturgy more functional. It was adapted to their overriding desire to be available for mission. Mission first, liturgy followed and fed mission. It is a short step from there to making the liturgy didactic, a forum for teaching above and beyond the homily. And from there it is a short step from the primary liturgical end shifting from worship of God to the edification of man (and today, too often, to the entertainment of man). Ignatius would be appalled by liturgical abuse, not because his liturgical sense would be offended, but because of the disobedience to the Supreme Pontiff.
There is no mental prayer (as we use the term) in the Rule of St Benedict. There is liturgical prayer and there is the reading of scripture and the Fathers. Otherwise St Benedict obviously conceives of prayer as vocal prayer.
The Jesuits systematized prayer, introducing a strict and largely unyielding method. It is very rational, and even the sentient aspects are subject to reason. It led to prayer becoming fixed to a session, a certain time, rather than something that permeated the day, spontaneous calls to God. Prayer sessions could thus become too easily our work, our achievement, something we do for ourselves as much as for God.
St Ignatius would lament this development, but he laid its foundations.
PS Von Balthasar was secularized, not laicized. He was named a cardinal shortly before he died, though he did not live to receive the red hat physically.
It is rather surprising to read Hugh OSB saying that there is no mental prayer in the Rule of St. Benedict. Chapter 48 says that when the monk is not otherwise engaged ' he must be occupied at definite times in manual labour and lectio divina.' This is from the translation by Patrick Barry of Ampleforth which has a very good note on lectio, to which he says 'openness of mind and heart' are integral. What is lectio if not mental prayer?
When most people speak of 'mental prayer' they, we, regard it as something specific, done in specific period of time, often following a specific method, such as that laid down very specifically by Loyola.
Well, I did quote the Rule of St. Benedict specifying 'definite times' (specific, if you will) in which the monk is to practise lectio divina, which is a specific form of prayer following a specific method.
The continuous prayer it may lead to ('pray without ceasing,' as St. Paul said) is interior - 'mental' in that sense. I am not disagreeing with the general idea of what mental prayer is!
This deserved to be said and written. Thank you. Considering the knee-jerk reactions above, i can only say this: they demonstrate precisely how with the Counter-Reformation, the spirit of subjective devotion has come to replace the spirit of ecclesial liturgy - that the laity -beyond Vespers - has become alienated from their own liturgy. People should reflect that the Mass is the summit of a daily cycle of services comprising the Little Hours, Lauds, Mattins, etc. Especially, the latter one, with its rich readings from the Fathers. Nothing can enrich one's spiritual more than praying with the texts of the Office and the Mass - as one is thereby uniting oneself entirely with the Church in offering her Prayer.
Its also very weird that the Jesuits justified their abandonment of the communal Office on the grounds of action, activity and so forth. Surely such a justification would have sounded strange to the hears of the great Irish and English monastic missionaries to continental Europe in the high middle-ages, who were no less active, and who had to reclaim Europe from the pagan barbarians.
There is much good comment and material here already. I'd just add that it's worth making the distinction between the Society of Jesus as it was before and after its papal suppression in the late 18th century. To my mind, after its restoration, something of the original brilliance had been lost - maybe out of fear of further censure - and the prevailing spirituality was one of control and rationalism. Strangely, this seemed to be one of the few things that was totally unaffected by the post-Vatican II reforms. So-called 'Ignatian' prayer remains a very circumscribed and tightly controlled method, even by Jesuits today.
I have always heard, Mental Prayer was an innovation of the Jesuits.
Meditation in the Benedictine tradition was done after verses of the Psalms.
Father Blake you are spot on in your analysis.
By "mental prayer" you mean silent prayer to oneself as opposed to oral prayer, especially oral communal prayer. This really s the break between orality and literacy as analyzed by philosopher Fr. Walter J. Ong, S.J.
Ignatius's attempts to gain Paul III's approval for the Society ran into opposition from those who objected to a lack of choir according to Fr. Philip Caraman's biography. One of his opponents, Carafa, became Paul IV.
I do not perceive the trend toward mental prayer or the active life as purely a Jesuit innovation. The roots of Ignatius's spirituality goes back at least to Thomas à Kempis. The early years of Francis of Assisi certainly sound like the active life Ignatius was imitating.
On the other hand, the pervasive influence the Jesuits had on the church after Trent especially through education no doubt spread their brand of prayer and spirituality.

Aruské ostrovy jsou souostroví ležící západně od ostrova Nová Guinea v Arafurském moři. Administrativně spadají pod indonéskou provincii Moluky. Hlavní sídlo se jmenuje Dobo.

Geografie
Aruské ostrovy leží západně od ostrova Nová Guinea v Arafurském moři a zahrnují šestici hlavních ostrovů Warilau, Kola, Wokam, Kobroor, Maikoor a Trangan, které oddělují úzké průlivy, a desítky menších ostrovů, s jejichž započtením tvoří Aruské ostrovy více než 90 samostatných ostrovů. Hlavní město Dobo leží na ostrově Wamar a je vybavené menším letištěm a přístavem.

Ostrovy většinou pokrývá bujná vegetace (arekovité, pandánovité), pobřežní oblasti bývají bažinaté. Ostrov Trangan se vyznačuje spíše travnatou vegetací. Složení fauny upomíná na doby, kdy bylo souostroví společně s Austrálii a Novou Guinejí součástí pevninského bloku Sahul, převládajícími savci jsou zde vačnatci. Aruské ostrovy spadají do australské biogeografické oblasti. Během svých cest Malajským souostrovím je navštívil britský přírodovědec a průkopník evoluční teorie Alfred Russel Wallace.

Historie
První zmínka o Aruských ostrovech v západní literatuře pochází asi z roku 1515 z pera portugalského spisovatele Tomé Pirese. Od roku 1623 bylo souostroví pod formální suverenitou Sjednocené východoindické společnosti. V průběhu historie byly z ostrovů do Asie a Evropy exportovány luxusní přírodní produkty, jako byly rajky, želví krunýře a perly. Přestože byly ostrovy součástí globální obchodní sítě, aruská společnost zůstávala bezstátní a relativně rovnostářská a až do pozdního koloniálního období unikala výraznější koloniální kontrole. Během druhé světové války v Tichomoří ostrovy obsadilo japonské vojsko, od roku 1949 jsou součástí Indonésie. Místní se stále živí obchodem s přírodninami, jakož i pěstováním ságovníků, kokosových palem, rýže, cukrové třtiny či tabáku.

Obyvatelstvo je papuánského a malajského původu, vyznává tradiční náboženství, na západních ostrovech žijí i muslimské a křesťanské komunity. Aruské ostrovy patří k nejvýchodnějším místům na světě, kde se v raném novověku tato dvě klíčová náboženství omezeně prosadila.

Unite, the UK's largest union, has won a key legal victory overturning attempts to restrict the right to picket during strike action.
The legal case arose as a result of a dispute involving Sutton Tanker workers based at Ellesmere Port. The 30 workers have been on strike since Friday 19 January as a result of the company's plan to dismiss and re-engage them on inferior terms and conditions, which would result in their pay being slashed.
On Wednesday 24 January, Unite was given less than 30 minutes' warning that Eastham Oil Refinery Ltd of Ellesmere Port, where the workers are based, was in court seeking an injunction to prevent picketing in the locality.
As Unite was given no time to attend court and defend the case, a temporary injunction was granted and the case was adjourned until Thursday 1 February.
At last week's hearing, Unite overturned the injunction and secured the right to picket at the entrances of the lorry park. The court confirmed the separate right to conduct lawful protests on the public highway.
Unite, which had already proposed what the court eventually ordered, was awarded full legal costs from 12:00 on Tuesday 30 January. Eastham Oil Refinery Ltd was refused any costs for the hearing on 24 January or following, owing to failings with its application.
The case was handled by Unite's Strategic Case Unit.
Unite assistant general secretary for legal services, Howard Beckett, said: "This was a key legal victory. It was vital to preserve the right to picket during a lawful dispute.
"If Unite had been unsuccessful, the fundamental right of freedom of association would have been greatly restricted.
The Sutton Tankers' strike is continuing and today (Monday 4 February) it enters its third week.
Unite regional officer, Colin Carr, said: "Although Sutton Tankers has made a slightly improved offer, this has been rejected by the workforce as it in no way meets the expectations of the workforce, who still face sweeping cuts in pay.
"We urge the management at Sutton Tankers to make a vastly improved offer in order to ensure that we can return to the negotiating table.
"Unite remains ready and willing to meet Sutton Tankers at any time in order to resolve this dispute."

Mauritius Hash House Harriers
Hash Trash 604 - Sunday 11 September 2011
VENUE: La Valette (Bambous)
HARES: Harry Rama
Hash Trash
Kay Farrow in the absence of the Scribe who is roaming in the gloaming back in Bonnie Scotland this week.
A quirky multi-terrain trail which led Hashers through long grass and bushes, through an impressive social housing development, along quiet roads and through a sugar cane field. We even passed a charcoal manufacturing plant. There was a short river crossing via a log and our considerate hare had strung a rope across the water to act as a handrail. There were separate sections for runners and walkers. The hare advised that where the terrain made the marking with flour impossible he had used blue ribbon to show the way. Either Harry is colour blind or he had drunk too many Blue Marlins the night before but the ribbon was a distinctive red colour.
Hash circle
Around 60 hashers assembled for the Hash circle.
Here's to the hares!
Harry was congratulated on the trail and was rewarded with a down-down. He thanked the GM for his assistance and advice with the planning of the trail.
Christelle - Michelle's daughter
Brigitte - sister-in-law of Fran and Gilbert
Both said that they'd enjoyed the hash and would come back.
Second timers
There were 4 second timers:
Stuart and Juliet
brother and sister Gregory and Roman (the sister)
Leslie suggested that they be given a Hash baptism in the adjacent stream but this was not endorsed by the Hash circle.
New Deputy Hash Marketeer, Marinette, has t-shirts commemorating the 600th Hash for sale at MUR 250 and with embroidery courtesy of Rosemary.
Claudia is the new Hash Cash. Thanks were expressed to Thierry for his sterling efforts as the previous incumbent. He is now too busy to perform this very important role.
A sponsor is needed for the new Hash t-shirt which has been designed by Leslie. Proposals should be forwarded to the mismanagement as soon as possible.
At the last Hash the laminated sheets detailing the new t-shirt design were not returned to Leslie. Whoever has them should note that they cannot be worn and Leslie would like them back.
Claude promoted the sale of fresh boar and cerf at a very reasonable price from the nearby Médine shop which is open 3 p. m. - 6 p.m. on Sundays. He advised that the hunting season is coming to a close so carnivores should stock up on this wonderful fresh meat. It was noted that there is not much meat on Claude but if he gets 150% commission on sales to Hashers he should be able to afford to feed himself up a little.
Dodocop still has a very good insulated drinks bottle which was left at the Hash several weeks ago. This was the third time that he had advertised this lost property in the Hash circle. It was agreed that the bottle could be auctioned at the next Hash if the owner does not come forward to claim it.
Adrienne has lost property from the recent Sunset Hash at Albion - 2 tops, one orange and one black and a pair of sunglasses.
Religious and Sexual Advisor (RA)
As he stepped into the circle to tell his stories the RA was mocked for wearing a condom on his leg. It was actually a sturdy tubigrip bandage to support his weary calf muscle. The RA went on to tell two short stories encompassing sex and religion and appealing to the two facets of his role.
One Friday evening on his way home from church a priest decided to call at a hasher's house to thank her for the flower arrangement that she had done recently for the church. She had put on such a wonderful display that the priest decided that he needed to thank her personally. On approaching the house he noticed balloons hanging from the veranda and lots of cars in the driveway but the curtains were drawn.
He knocked on the door but there was no response despite the fact that he could hear music and laughter coming from inside. Finding the door unlocked he opened it and went inside. There was nobody in the hall and the sound of music and laughter was coming from the lounge so he tapped on the door, opened it and went in. He found a large circle of naked men in the middle of the room. Women wearing blindfolds were moving from man to trying to guess their identity by fondling their private parts.
Our hasher, noticing the priest, poured him a whisky and took it over to him.
"Welcome father! Here's a glass of your favourite whisky." she said. The priest was very embarrassed and replied "I'm sorry but I don't think that this is my type of party."
"Nonsense," said the host "your name's been called out three times already'
A man was not feeling very well so he went to the doctor and was told that he only had 24 hours to live. He decided that like any good husband, he must go home at once and make passionate love to his wife. He crept into the bedroom, slid into bed and for the next three hours experienced the wildest sex he'd ever had in his life. Finally, exhausted, he crawled into the bathroom where he was surprised to see his wife lying in the bath with a mudpack on her face.
"How did you get in here?" he asked.
"Shhh," said his wife "'you'll wake my mother up."
RA's down-downs
Marie-Anne was admonished for committing a very serious Hash crime - eating before the circle. Here's to the sinner!
Keith and John were ridiculed for discussing traffic management on the Hash. John was also congratulated for attending three hashes during his six week stay in Mauritius. Interestingly, he doesn't drink beer so obviously only came to the Hash to discuss traffic management. Here's to the oddballs!
Adrienne was teased for losing her keys. It was uncertain what her motives were but the keys were returned. Here's to the swinger!
Dodocop was castigated for wearing sandals for the second Hash in succession. Here's to the monk!
Hash hostage
Gaëtan passed on the hash bell to Vincent in recognition of his strange attire. He sported heavy black boots and a pair of trendy jeans for the Hash. In mitigation Vincent admitted that as he had not been to the Hash for several weeks he had dressed for a leisurely walk. Here's to the legionnaire!
Next Hash
Ryan the Trailmaster introduced Gaëtan as the hare for the next Hash which will be held at Cascavelle.
and finally..............the mystery of the missing beer!
It was noted that 17 beer bottles were missing at the end of the Hash. Despite a thorough search of the immediate area they could not be found. The Hash will lose money as a result of this loss. What happened to the bottles?
Taken home by forgetful hashers?
Taken hostage by the Mauritius Mafia?
Stolen by passers-by?
Abducted by aliens?
Anyone holding a bottle hostage is asked to return it at the next Hash.
Note from (thirsty) Webmaster:
We are already loosing money on drinks. If something like this happens again we will have to consider stopping providing drinks.
Here's to the Hash! On-on........................

Home / India / Centre opposes Bombay High Court skin contact sexual assault verdict
Centre opposes Bombay High Court skin contact sexual assault verdict
The govt told SC that the ruling was 'outrageous' and would have 'far-reaching consequences' if not quashed
Our Legal Correspondent | New Delhi | Published 25.08.21, 12:38 AM
The Centre on Tuesday told the Supreme Court the much-criticised Bombay High Court ruling that groping a child's breasts without "skin-to-skin contact" did not amount to sexual assault under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act was "outrageous" and would have "far-reaching consequences" if not quashed.
"For tomorrow, any person who wears a surgical glove and feels the entire body of a woman… without penetration, then the minimum punishment of three years wouldn't apply to him. This is outrageous. The judge clearly didn't see the far-reaching consequences," attorney-general K.K. Venugopal told an apex court bench of Justices U.U. Lalit and Ajay Rastogi.
The Supreme Court had in January stayed the judgment passed by Justice Pushpa Ganediwala, acquitting a man convicted of pressing the breasts of a 12-year-old over her dress. The Centre had rushed to the top court, seeking a stay on the judgment.
When the matter came up for hearing on Tuesday, Venugopal argued that the high court order could not be sustained as the legislative intent of the Pocso Act would be defeated.
He pointed out that in the past one year, 43,000 Pocso-related cases had been filed, indicating that there was a rising trend of sexual assault on children.
"It's an outrageous judgment so far as Pocso is concerned. She (the judge) said skin-to-skin contact is required, which would result in a person wearing gloves and getting an acquittal," Venugopal said.
"…The girl was taken by the man, (he) touched her breast and pulled her salwar. (She) yelled. The mother found her daughter and filed a complaint," the AG said, reading out from the high court judgment.
The Maharashtra government had challenged a similar verdict by Bombay High Court in another case, which was also listed before the top court. In the second case, also heard by Justice Ganediwala, the high court had ruled that an accused opening the zip of his trousers before a five-year-old girl would not amount to sexual assault under the Pocso Act.
The Supreme Court adjourned the two matters till September 14 as the accused persons were not represented by any lawyer despite notices being served on the duo in January.
The court had earlier appointed senior advocate Sidharth Dave as an amicus curiae to assist it in the matter.
The Supreme Court passed the following order: "According to the Office Report dated 23.08.2021, service of show-cause notice is complete in all the matters. However, none has entered appearance on behalf of the accused. Since the accused are not being represented, we direct the Supreme Court Legal Services Committee… to make available services of any Senior Advocate from the Panel of the Committee along with any other Advocate-on-Record to appear on behalf of the accused.
"It may be stated here that there are two sets of accused in these matters. It will be entirely up to the Committee to have different sets of Counsel representing the accused or to have the same set of Counsel representing the cause of all the accused.
"Let the papers be submitted to the Committee today itself to enable it to take appropriate steps in the matter. List all these matters for final disposal on 14.09.2021."
Justice Ganediwala's judgments in January had triggered outrage among the civil society and women's rights organisations.
In the first case, Satish had been handed a three-year jail term by a lower court for sexually assaulting the 12-year-old girl.
But Justice Ganediwala of the Nagpur bench of Bombay High Court had ruled there must be "skin-to-skin contact with sexual intent" for it to be considered sexual assault under the Pocso Act.
"The act of pressing of breast of the child aged 12 years, in the absence of any specific detail as to whether the top was removed or whether he inserted his hand inside the top and pressed her breast, would not fall in the definition of sexual assault," the judge had said.
However, Justice Ganediwala had added that under the Indian Penal Code's Section 354 (assault or criminal force to outrage a woman's modesty), "the act of pressing breast can be a criminal force to a woman/ girl with the intention to outrage her modesty".
Punishments for sexual assault under the IPC tend to be lighter compared to those for similar offences under the Pocso Act.
In the other case, Justice Ganediwala had acquitted a 50-year-old man of charges under the Pocso Act on the ground that the offence of opening his trousers' zip before the five-year-old girl did not invite an offence under this law since there was no actual penetration.
A trial court had sentenced the man to five years' imprisonment under the Pocso Act. The high court had, however, sentenced him to five months in jail for outraging the girl's modesty.

Float therapy and the scientific approach of sensory deprivation is a quickly growing trend in North America and for good reason. With the revolution of technology, the over-abundance of information which has accelerated global human consciousness has also lead to an increase in depression and anxiety -- with suicide being 10th leading cause of death for Americans. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, one in every five adults suffer from some form of mental illness. It is safe to say the state of mental health in the United States is a major growing problem. This increase in suffering has driven many to explore new ways to cope with the growing pains of conscious transformation.
The practice actually began over half a century ago in 1954 by American neuroscientist, physician, psychologist, and psychonaut, Dr. John C. Lilly. He was researching human consciousness and conducting tests in an attempt to communicate with dolphins. His research led to the invention of the restricted environmental stimulation tank (R.E.S.T.), now commonly known as float tanks. Designed to eliminate all sensory inputs into the brain, subjects would float weightless in epsom salt-filled body-temperature water with no light or sound. The resulting effect is deep relaxation and significantly increased elusive theta brain-wave activity that allows the body to relieve stress and heal rapidly. He used these tanks or pods to further conduct tests on the human conscious using psychedelic drugs and deep meditation.
Float tanks became commercially available in the 1970's and became widely successful in Europe where Dr. Lilly had conducted much of his research. The first movie to feature a sensory deprivation tank was in a 1980 sci-fi horror film Altered States based on Dr. Lilly's research. It seemed then that float tanks would become mainstream however, by the end of the 1980's float tanks began to die out due to the aids epidemic and fear of sharing water.
During the 2000's, sensory deprivation tanks began reemerging back into pop-culture when actor Ben Affleck, playing a blind superhero with heightened senses used a sensory deprivation tank to sleep in the movie Daredevil in 2003. Float tanks were also featured in the hit sci-fi series Fringe from 2008 to 20013. More recently, Netflix's sci-fi series Stranger Things uses a sensory deprivation pool for protagonist, Eleven to access her powerful mental capabilities and enable remote viewing. Today, float tanks have left a mark on pop-culture with many celebrities being vocal advocates for the benefits of float therapy including UFC commentator and podcast host, Joe Rogan, music legend, John Lennon, and highly decorated olympian, Carl Lewis.
While there has yet to be any credible claims of being able to communicate with dolphins using float tanks, many users are continuing to share their experience with others. Floaters often describe the experience as the best nap of their lives. But what is really happening while one is left alone in a float tank? Sure, some very well do fall asleep during sessions however is it not the nap that leaves them feeling relaxed, it's the lack of sensory input that allows their minds to enter a deep meditative state with ease. As more and more people continue to seek greater mental health using natural practices, sensory deprivation tanks and float therapy will continue to grow in popularity.

👉 Week in Review: 01/15/23
"I absolutely expect the economy to continue slowing..."
Wishing you a restful long weekend.
Still catching up on sleep from the turn of the calendar to 2023? Been focused on work and ignoring the charts? Whatever your situation — the updates below should make you feel like you were tailing the markets all week long.
Portfolio Updates:
Quick update for the week — I added screenshots to the "Performance" tab of the Portfolio Tracker so you all can see exactly how much I have invested into each company. I also included a screenshot from my Quantbase account.
The plan is to invest $10K / month toward the Dividend Growth Strategy on Quantbase (click here to invest alongside me for free) — and then invest "everything else" toward the single stocks listed in the tracker.
Important Quant Rating Changes:
Lowe's (LOW): 3.48 to 4.91 — mind you, Lowe's has been flashing these "Strong Buy" ratings on Seeking Alpha since late-November, so it could be another one of those.
Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM): 4.92 to 3.26 — first "Hold" rating on this stock since early-November.
Google (GOOGL): 4.51 to 3.32 — the stock has been floundering back and forth violently between "Strong Buy" and "Hold" throughout 2023, so I wouldn't put too much weight in this.
Balance: $20,355 — which means we're 1% of the way to our $2M goal!
Best Callouts of the Week
We've been bearish for about a year now, however, the market sentiment has markedly improved to start 2023. With that being said, a leg lower in the markets (at some point) remains our prediction — but it's clear that bulls are currently in control.
The year is all-but-guaranteed to remain volatile and paying attention to updates like the ones below will continue to be important!
It's also worth noting: ~legendary investor~ Nancy Pelosi just had a fire sale of many of her holdings — specifically, Netflix (NFLX) Tesla (TSLA), Disney (DIS), and Google (GOOGL).
World Bank Sees Sluggishness for the U.S.
We were a bit surprised by the quietness of the media surrounding the World Bank's recent global growth projections — depicting the United States in a tough spot.
The World Bank predicts that global GDP will rise around +1.7% this year — roughly half the forecast that it had previously published in June of 2022. If true, this would be the third-worst global productivity in over three decades.
As for the United States — we're expected to have slower levels of growth than China for years to come and an extremely underwhelming 2023. From 1948 to 2022, the average annual GDP growth rate of the U.S. was ~3.1%.
The Collapse of the U.S. Savings Rate
Over the last couple of months, the U.S. Personal Savings Rate has hovered around 2.2% — 2.4%. The last time the level was this low was in 2006-2007 — just before the Great Financial Crisis.
We don't need to talk about what has caused a decline in savings — we all know the answer is inflation running rampant paired with total credit spending in the U.S. continuing to rise.
But what we absolutely should talk about is what could actually happen as a result of this — a significant decrease in consumer spending has the potential to cause a pile-up of inventory that is extremely difficult to quantify and project.
One of the most interesting things about studying the Personal Savings Rate is that during the 1970s — with inflation peaking above 10% — the personal savings rate was still ~10% consistently.
The *Good* — The fact that Americans had excess savings in the 70s very much allowed inflation to continue ripping higher. Consumers continued to buy given this excess cash in their monthly budgets. This is clearly not the case today — and we've even begun to see inflation trend downward with no material improvement to the savings rate. However, there is a chance this could change.
The *Bad* — The economy will likely take a very quick turn (relatively speaking) for the worse as economists still expect a recession this year — despite the falling inflation.
The *Ugly* — We really (really!) need to see the credit bubble improve in the United States, as we've seen no material evidence of that taking place. In November, revolving credit increased at an annual rate of +16.9% and non-revolving credit increased at an annual rate of +3.9%.
Shoutout to Nick Gerli of Reventure Consulting for highlighting something that we've been screaming from the rooftops for almost a year now!
Week in Review — Too Long, Didn't Read:
UnitedHealth's revenue per patient increased +29%, JPMorgan & Bank of America foresee an increase in delinquencies, layoffs continue with Goldman Sachs & Salesforce, all flights in the U.S. were grounded for the first time since 9/11, elevated P/E averages in the market are raising the anticipation of Q1 earnings, charts that you need to see about inflation, and the biggest takeaways from Fed leadership this week.
Key Earnings Announcements:
United Health's revenue per patient increased +29%, and JPMorgan Chase & Bank of America are both expecting delinquencies to rise in the near-term.
UnitedHealth Group (UNH):
Revenue: $82.8 billion, an increase of +12% YoY
Operating Income: $6.9 billion, an increase of +24% YoY
Profits: $4.9 billion, an increase of +17% YoY
Earnings Release Callout
"We expect the efforts by the people of our company that led to strong performance in 2022 will define 2023 as well, especially delivering balanced growth enterprise-wide, improving support for consumers and care providers, and investing to make high-quality care simpler, more accessible and affordable for everyone."
My Takeaway
UnitedHealth Group continues to pour billions into their five pillars for growth — with the most obvious progress being in value-based care.
The company exited 2022 with +1.8M more fully-accountable value-based patients than they had in 2021. Many of these patients have opted-in to UNH's Medicare Advantage plans, or other MA plans powered by Optum.
Another exciting development for this company in 2023 is their focus on seniors. To remind everyone, roughly 1 in 5 Americans are 65 or older — which means this is a massive market to tend to if done correctly.
In 2023, UNH will continue to lay the groundwork in efforts to benefit from this "Silver Wave" sweeping the nation — HouseCalls, in-home testing and vaccinations, SDoHs, and other in-home initiatives they're piloting are having an outsized impact on hospital visits.
In 2022, UNH's in-home solutions led to a +42% increase in closing gaps in care, lowered hospital visits by -15%, and increase clinical program enrollment by +10%.
The company's underlying fundamentals are also moving in the right direction — revenue per customer grew by +29% (driven by these value-based arrangements), and they're expecting to serve another +750K patients in value-based arrangements in 2023 and +900K more from a Medicare Advantage perspective.
With that being said, the stock's price seems frothy — if you're interested in opening a position, perhaps consider dollar cost averaging over several months.
JPMorgan Chase (JPM):
Profits: $11.0 billion, an increase of +6% YoY
"The U.S. economy currently remains strong with consumers still spending excess cash and businesses healthy.
However, we still do not know the ultimate effect of the headwinds coming from geopolitical tensions including the war in Ukraine, the vulnerable state of energy and food supplies, persistent inflation that is eroding purchasing power and has pushed interest rates higher, and the unprecedented quantitative tightening."
As you all know, I'm not an investor in bank stocks. There are so many variables that impact their success on a quarterly basis — and they've largely underperformed the marker over the last five years.
Instead, I like to use the information they provide in their earnings calls to better understand the current economy, their consumers, and where the "experts" think the world is headed.
This quarter, JPM shared a tidbit of information that raised my eyebrows — their provision for credit losses increased substantially (+$751M) quarter-over-quarter. This essentially means JPM is preparing for billions of dollars worth of defaults to materialized in the near future — setting aside $2.3B in the process.
Which makes a ton of sense when you compare this growth to the spike in delinquencies we've seen on credit cards (below).
Remember, financial statements tell us about past performance — how a company performed several weeks ago. However, this line item is a clue into the future.
Bank of America (BAC):
Profits: $7.1 billion, an increase of +1% YoY
"We ended the year on a strong note growing earnings year over year in the 4th quarter in an increasingly slowing economic environment."
I'll keep this short as I already explained my stance with bank stocks above — but BAC saw the same thing as JPM re: credit loss provisions. The company is setting aside an additional +$400M to cover delinquencies in the near-term.
Below is an incredibly quote from their CEO about consumer credit card delinquencies from their earnings call..
"Credit card charge-offs increased in quarter four as a result of the flow-through of modest increase in last quarter's late-stage delinquencies. This should continue as we transition off the historic lows and delinquencies to still very low pre-pandemic levels. Provision expense was $1.1 billion in quarter four. In addition to our charge-off provision included roughly $400 million reserve build. This was higher than quarter three, reflecting good credit card and other loan growth combined with the reserve setting scenario.
Our scenario — our baseline scenario contemplates a mild recession. That's the base case of the economic assumptions in the blue chip and other methods we use. But we also add to that a downside scenario. And what this results in is 95% of our reserve methodologies weighted towards a recessionary environment in 2023. That includes higher expectations of inflation leading to depressed GDP and higher unemployment expectations. This scenario is more conservative than last quarter scenario.
Now to be clear, just to give you a sense of how that scenario plays out, it contemplates a rapid rise in unemployment to peak at 5.5% early this year in 2023 and remain at 5% or above all the way through the end of 2024. Obviously, much more conservative than the economic estimates that are out there."
Investor Events / Global Affairs:
New updates for headcount cuts, the U.S. airline system has a widespread failure, and price-to-earnings ratios are questionably high.


Seth Benardete was professor of classics at New York University. He was the author of The Being of the Beautiful, The Rhetoric of Morality and Philosophy, Socrates' Second Sailing, and The Tragedy and Comedy of Life.
Guided by the fundamental problems opened up through his studies of the Platonic dialogues, Seth Benardete unravels the intertwined threads of Homer's Odyssey and finds at its core the choice Odysseus makes to be human—to return home rather than accept Calypso's offer of immortality. This choice reflects the understanding Odysseus has of his fate, on which the Olympian gods have in turn imposed a design of their own, assigning Odysseus a part in their plan of withdrawal. Once home, Odysseus strings his bow and makes it sing, Homer tells us, as easily as a bard his lyre; but whether the apparent fusion of rationality with spiritedness in the soul of Odysseus allows him to share Homer's perspective is the Platonic question that animates Benardete's penetrating and illuminating reading of the Odyssey.
The Bow and the Lyre is a work of matchless erudition and insight.
Bernardete's procedure frees him to take seriously the problems of the surface on their own terms.
The Bow and the Lyre is a treasure of startling observations, but it is also much more. His book is a remarkable account of the Odyssey . . . There is really nothing else like it in print.
In this exciting interpretation of the Odyssey, the late renowned scholar Seth Benardete suggests that Homer may have been the first to philosophize in a Platonic sense. He argues that the Odyssey concerns precisely the relation between philosophy and poetry and, more broadly, the rational and the irrational in human beings. In light of this possibility, Bernardete works back and forth from Homer to Plato to examine the relation between wisdom and justice and tries to recover an original understanding of philosophy that Plato, too, recovered by reflecting on the wisdom of the poet. At stake in his argument is no less than the history of philosophy and the ancient understanding of poetry. The Bow and the Lyre is a book that every classicist and historian of philosophy should have.

Robert W. Cross Jr. says
Carl,Sandy, Mike, Bryan, Tami, Dawn, and every beautiful grandchild of Charlie's. I am so very sorry and very blessed you shared this Hero with me.
Charlie Stephens was more then just my friend He was a father to me. I met Charlie my junior year of high School. From that day forward he was like my second father. Over the years I spent endless hours with him in my boat or me in his boat fishing for catfish, crappie, and spoonbill.
I grew very close to Charlie I shared many memories with this fine man and also shared our deepest thoughts on life. I also shared lots of first with this man. The first time I shaved my head on a silly bet. From that day forward I have never paid for a hair cut again. I got to share my family fishing hole and secrets with him. My first time in a Indian casino. But the best thing I ever shared with him was my life and time and two sons I call brothers Mike Stephens and Bryan Stephens. Charlie was a hero in my eyes and in some strange way I feel he felt the same about me. He never left without saying I love you Sponge Bob, Jerky, Catfish Bob, Crappie Bob, and my all time favorite I love you like my own Son.
Charlie I want you to know I will miss you and never ever forget our short time together.
I wont ever get in a boat or cast a line without a memories of you. I Love you and will miss you Jerky!!!
Margaret Cross says
Charlie will be missed very much by family and friends. I never really got to know him that well, but, my son, Bobby always adored this man. I am sorry that I never got to be around him much and his death is a tragic loss to everyone involved. Who ever took his life, I hope you will be found and get what you deserve. God Bless you Charlie Stephens…
Pam Kenagy says
To all..my heart is so saddened by Charlie's passing. I know now why God had me see him just a couple weeks ago after 10 long years. To remember what a special person he was and how lucky I was to say I knew him.
A great dad, papa, friend and so blessed to have known him.
Hug to all.
Jeni Hutsell says
So many memories…I could write a book. I was blessed to have met Charlie when I was 16 years old and 2 years later, blessed once again, to have him as my father-in-law. My parents instantly become close friends with Charlie and Sandy…and were soon referred to as "The Nerd Herd" : )
Charlie had a way of taking the lead, capturing your attention, and captivating you with his stories. His smile was infectious; his laugh, hearty; and a personality that was nothing short of charismatic.
His love for Mike and Bryan was obvious…but when he was blessed with the birth of his first 2 grandchildren (Trever & Aerian), and became "Papa Charlie", his level of love and dedication to his family reached a new level. I will never forget how his face lit up when he walked into a room and was greeted by those babies…
My prayers are constant…my faith is strong…We were blessed to have had Charlie in our lives…until we meet again…
I love ya Tuna Man!
I love you Tuna Man…
Tim Olson says
Charlie was an awesome man, friend and boss. I learned so much from Charlie. He was so much fun and was always upbeat, fun, and personable. He gave me the tools to start my own successful pest control business. I owe so much to Charlie. He was such an inspiration to my brother Jeff Olson and I. He was the best! Please let us know if you need anything. So many great memories of Charlie with my brother and I.
Debbie McCoy says
When I saw this on the news I prayed it wasn't the Charlie I knew. We had worked together when we were both at Lystad's, right before being bought out by Ecolab. He was by far one of my favorite bosses. Charlie was a kind and loving soul and I am sickened that someone would do this to such a wonderful person. Carl, I am so sorry for your loss. Michael and Brian my heart breaks for you as well. He will be missed by many.
Jan and Ed Jorgensen says
Ed and I thought the world of Charlie. We will always cherish the nights at Harrah's in the GM and D club as well as the trips we took together to Atlantic City, Las Vegas, and Laughlin. It had been about 3 years since we had seen Kerri and Charlie and feel very blessed to have run into them even though it was only for a minute or two last month. Our thoughts and prayers are with all that loved Charlie!
Ruth says
Charlie you will be missed greatly. You were a wonderful man and did not deserve what happened to you in your final years of life. To the evil coward who killed Charlie, you will be caught.
Donna Bennett says
Im very sad this had happen to such a good man. To his children and grandchildren, brother, Im so sorry for you're loss I knew Charlie from the Star Club. We all miss HIM. There are alot of people from the club that miss him and send they're condolence's. All our prayers are out to his children and they're family's and his brother. We KNOW THAT THE PERSON THAT DONE THIS IS GOING TO BE CAUGHT AND END UP RIGHT WHERE SHE/HE BELONG. IN HELL. God bless you and know We are thinking of you.
Tracey (Loomer) Hendren says
Sandy, Mike and Bryan.
I'm so sorry to hear about Charlie! I remember when I was a kid and we came to your house and we had alot of fun! Times have changed but family stays the same! Hope to see you all sometime soon! If you ever need anything give us a call! Love you all!
Kaylee Isaac and Stephon Lewis says

Misty and Dustin Carter says
Im so lucky to have had the privilege to have known charlie. Charlie taught me so many things about how to handle life. you could always go to him with any problem and he was always so calm with his answers. but if you listen to him it would always work. he taught me how to handle so much. I love you chuck!
Pierre, Tifany & Cole Doenges says
We are so very sorry for your loss. Charlie was a very sweet man who always had a smile and something funny to say. We will miss seeing him at Jennifer & Adam's annual gatherings.

Scott Baird says
So sorry, you will be missed. No words can express our heartfelt loss. Such a outgoing and friendly guy. Keeping your family in our prayers.
Unknown says
RIP Charlie. Just watched an episode of deadly women. So sorry that this happened to someone as loving and trusting and caring as charlie
Steven R J says
Just watched the episode of deadly women. I feel so bad this happened, especially to a Vietnam veteran. A gambling addiction is a very serious issue and a problem I also have, so I had to quit completely and this episode shows me I made the right decision. God bless and see you in Heaven my fellow veteran.
Darriene Freeman says
My heartfelt prayers go out to all the family and friends who loved, respected and admired this obviously wonderful man. I just saw the tv program that showed his death and I was horrified. I was moved emotionally to google him and send all of you my condolences. Truly wonderful people, like Charlie, should be cherished and live very long, full lives, not have it cut short by a deadly, greedy sociopath like the woman who took his life. I am SO sorry to hear of your loss, truly.
Ashley Garza says
I am so sorry to the family for their loss. I just watched the Deadly Women episode on Investigation Discovery about this. I can't help but feel sick on how this women could do such a thing. Especially to someone who once fighted in our country. This comes to show how serious gambling addiction is. If you or anyone that you know is suffering from this, please stop what you are doing and get help because it's gonna hurt you, your family and to the other people you know around you.
Charlie. Deserved. Much. More. But was. Taken. By. A. Less. Deserving. Wife. Miss. You. CHARLIE !!!

Q: hubProxy.On("Message", message => onData(message)) what thread? I have a WinForms C# .NET 4.5.2 OWIN self hosted server that uses a signalr hub. In this same WinForm project I start the signalr hub as follows:
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {
        hubConnection = new HubConnection("http://localhost:12345/", clientParams);
        hubProxy = hubConnection.CreateHubProxy("OfmControl");
        hubProxy.On("Message", message => onData(message));
        hubConnection.Start();

My onData method looks like this:
private void onData(dynamic message)
{
    var file = new System.IO.FileInfo(message);
    playVideo(file.FullName);
}

playVideo method looks like this:
private void playVideo(string file)
{
    int tc6 = 0;

    try
    {
        axWMPn[0].URL = file;
    }
    catch (System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException comEx)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("playVideo COMException 0: " + comEx.Source + "  -- " + comEx.Message);
    }
}

axWMPn is an activex Windows Media Player object on the main form. When I run a separate C# signalr client program and send a filename message to this OWIN signalr sever and onData receives the filename and assigns it to axWMPn[0] per above code it always works never hits catch exception never receive a cross thread exception? I have run it hundreds of times never once received a cross thread exception and always works? But if I do the following I receive a cross thread exception every time obviously:
private void onData(dynamic message)
{
    textBox1.text = message; ---> cross thread exception everytime here
    var file = new System.IO.FileInfo(message);
    playVideo(file.FullName);
}

I started thinking what I am doing is a cross thread violation but why does it always work why am I not receiving a thread violation in Visual Studio when I run the project in debug mode like I always do when I attempt to assign textBox1.text in onData? I have a feeling it has something to do with axWMP being an activex COM object but still seems I should eventually have a cross thread exception on this if it is?
If it is a cross thread violation do I need to do a BeginInvoke/Invoke around axWMPn[0] assignment?
Thanks for any advice...


Well, we're off again...the boyfriend and I are headed to Santa Cruz, CA. for a wedding. I have only ever driven through Santa Cruz, so this should be fun for me. I have a feeling my camera wont be leaving my arm.
Hmm, maybe it's all the traveling of late.
I think I have to try this out for my self! I'll let you know how it turns out.
