Honorary Citizenship Belgium
Honorary Citizenship Belgium | GCI. We are the world's leading experts in advising foreign investors on Citizenship & Residency by Investment. Belgian Honorary Citizenship. Read more on how to apply for Honorary Citizenship Belgium.
Unfortunately there is currently no Honorary Citizenship Belgium. This is a pity, in our view, because Belgium would not only bring many benefits to our customers, but would also enrich the country's economy. Belgium is a member country of the EU since January 1, 1958 with its geographic size of 30,528 km², and population number 11,258,434, as per 2015. Belgians comprise 2.2% of the total EU population. Its capital is Brussels and the official languages in Belgium are Dutch, French, and German. The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is €409,407 billion, as per 2015. Its currency is € (Euro), from Belgium became a member of the Eurozone on January 1, 1999. The political system in Belgium is a federal parliamentary constitutional monarchy. Belgium holds 21 seats in the European Parliament and held the revolving presidency of the Council of the EU 12 times between 1958 and 2010. Belgium is also a member state of the Schengen Area since March 26, 1995.
Why Second Citizenship Belgium?
Is Belgium Second Passport legal?
Citizenship is an extremely polarizing subject. Many people incorrectly think that a second passport is illegal. This is a myth. Ignorance, and nationalistic indoctrination, has perpetuated a stigma that somehow obtaining a second passport is "grey", or outright illegal across the world. Plenty of people have dual citizenship, and you can do. So your next question will be: How to get a second passport? The quickest and most direct path to a second passport (no matter who your parents are, where you are born, or where you live) is through an officially recognized citizenship by investment scheme, maybe there will be a Belgium Honorary Citizenship in the future. Another option to get Belgium second citizenship is Citizenship by Residency. Almost all developed countries have laws in place whereby a long term resident can become a naturalized citizen after a certain period of time.
In fact that there is currently no Honorary Citizenship Belgium, we would like to draw your attention to our new Moldovan Citizenship by Investment Program. Moldova is a future candidate country of the European Union. Moldovan citizens had visa-free or visa on arrival access to 122 countries and territories. Granted visa-free entry to all Europe´s Schengen Area countries as well as Russia, Turkey and Malaysia. The Moldovan citizenship can be obtained from a minimum investment of EUR 100,000. The Moldovan Passport is ranked 48th in terms of freedom of travel (equal to the russian and montenegrin passport).

AVRAM Grant's future as Portsmouth manager was last night thrown into doubt when the club agreed to sell Younes Kaboul and Asmir Begovic to Tottenham behind his back.
Grant was kept in the dark about the deal between the two clubs as finance chief Danny Azougy has been put in charge of raising money.
When Grant found out, he is said to have been furious – especially over the decision to accept a bid for goalkeeper Begovic, who he thought he would be allowed to keep.
Grant, who claimed no players would leave without his approval, had resigned himself to losing David James – but Begovic's departure would rob him of both his top two goalkeepers.
Portsmouth will receive a fraction of the £10million they had hoped to raise on the sale of Kaboul because they still owe Spurs £2m, plus a 15 per cent sell-on fee, for him. And Begovic could leave for as little as £1m, with Tottenham midfielder Jamie O'Hara returning to Fratton Park on loan.
But Begovic's proposed move might be complicated by the fact he has already played for Pompey and on loan at Ipswich this season and, under FIFA rules, cannot play for a third club. Tottenham are believed to have contacted FIFA over the matter.
Grant is also set to lose Algerian midfielder Nadir Belhadj , with the club in talks with West Ham and Wigan over his transfer, while James is still hopeful of completing his switch to Stoke.
Despite all the desperate efforts of Azougy to find money, bottom-of-the-table Pompey's cash crisis is still not looking any healthier.
The club last night sent a memo to staff telling them not to expect their January wages to arrive in their bank accounts today and the players are not expecting to be paid either.
Portsmouth's players and staff have already been paid late three times this season and, despite their transfer embargo being lifted, it seems that run will continue.
Players are able to invoke a clause in their contracts allowing them to quit if the wages are not brought up to date within 14 days.
Most of the outfield squad tried to lift their spirits by taking time out from training yesterday to go go-karting with money collected from player fines.
But when they return today, they will have nowhere to store their training equipment after Portsmouth failed to pay for the storage container it is kept in.
Portsmouth's official website was yesterday shut down because they could not maintain payments to Juicy, the company responsible for running www.portsmouth.co.uk – and the staff broadband was also switched off.
While the official site was down, Pompey accepted an offer from the club's Supporters' Trust to make any announcements through their website. But the club's official site was made live again in the evening after Juicy released a statement confirming a new payment plan had been agreed.
It read: "Juicy has been in continual communication with the finance team in recent months about managing the costs of the website, but were forced – due to payment plan breaches – to take the site down.
Portsmouth are £60m in debt and will appear before the High Court next month to face a winding up order issued by HM Revenue & Customs over unpaid taxes of £11m.

Moerasarabieren zijn de oorspronkelijke Arabische bewoners van de moerassen van Mesopotamië (het zuiden van het hedendaagse Irak en aangrenzende Iran).

De Moerasarabieren hebben een unieke cultuur die zich kenmerkt door afhankelijkheid van de moerassen rond de rivieren Eufraat en Tigris. De meerderheid van de Moerasarabieren zijn sjiieten en een minderheid waren mandaeërs. Deze laatste groep is echter vrijwel geheel uit Irak verdwenen door vervolging.

Door de Eerste Golfoorlog, drooglegging van de moerassen door de Iraakse regering in de jaren 90 van de 20e eeuw, de Tweede Golfoorlog en daaropvolgende Iraakse burgeroorlog worden de Moerasarabieren echter in hun voortbestaan bedreigd.

Klimaatverandering
Door dammen "hoger op" stroomt meer dan een derde minder water naar hun gebied dan in 1970. Met als gevolg dat zout zeewater van de Perzische Golf nu meer landinwaarts komt. Klimaatverandering vormt ook een toenemende bedreiging voor hen. Irak warmt in dit eerste kwart van de 21e eeuw bijna twee keer zoveel op dan de aarde dat doet. Droogte en vaker voorkomende hogere extreme temperaturen (meer dan 51 graden Celsius) hebben hun impact op land, flora en fauna en "mens en dier". Het moeras-areaal wordt kleiner door verdroging en de opbrengst (bijvoorbeeld vis) neemt af. De waterkwaliteit neemt af met als gevolg ziekte en sterfte van waterbuffels De inwoners van dit gebied hebben geen elektriciteit (dus geen koeling). Vrouwen en kinderen overleven hittegolven door tijdelijk naar familie in stadjes in de regio te gaan. Sommige families proberen het elders in het moerasgebied, anderen verlaten de moerassen en migreren.

Mike, Thanks brother, we shall see what comes of it all! When is the Long Beach show? If I am in town, and you, Tim and crew are a part of this, then you better believe my ass will be there! -Raf
It has been a minute my Raw brothers and sisters! I hope you're all doing well. For me, my 2016 is about relocating from Detroit to California. It's looking like it may happen sooner than later actually (within a couple of months, finally!). Lucky for me, my work in property management is something I can take with me anywhere and I have been foruntate enough to come accross companies interest in me in the L.A. area. The idea here is to settle down somewhere, work my day job, work out rigorously, and take acting classes with reputable coaches/teachers in L.A. after work. Hopefully I can get

Not interested in Tom Hardy playing Frank....after watching Daredevil on Netflix - and I'm certain most people who have would agree with me - it is very clear that the best way to bring Frank back is on a Netflix series. I don't think Tom Hardy would commit to the character like our man Jane has....in Hardy's interview expressing his interest in playing the character, he didn't even know Punisher's actual name and had to be reminded....couple strikes right there. We need Tom Jane to come back and bring his gritty Dirty Laundry character into Netflix.

Movie magic is key.... bigger budgets can allow you to get away with anything. I remember 3 years ago I was working as an extra on Red Dawn and I went up to Chris Hemsworth and asked if he was ready to play Thor, he was excited to talk with me about it.... he's already 6'3 but he wasn't built like a tank yet. He said he was only about 210. Now think about this, 6'3 and 210 is the build of an NFL wide receiver. He then said he was going to put on an additional 5-10 pounds and that they will "condense" him on screen, making him look bigger. You take a look at Thor and you'd think he was 240-

If you have not shopped around in the Raw store, you certainly have to. The second I saw the Dirty Laundry t-shirts for sale, I ordered two of them. Lets shop and support our RAW family here!

relias33 replied to Tim Bradstreet's topic in Tim Bradstreet
I'm falling behind on catching up with Frank these days. I gotta get the ball rolling and hit up my comic stores.
Which is why I think TJ would be a fine candidate to play Snake if there were to be a Metal Gear film. They would probably be looking for someone in their 20s to early 30s to play Snake now if that were ever to happen...start from the beginning.
Aright off topic but kind of on topic.... ....I've watched the clip many many times over and I have a question for everyone here: Am I the only one who played Don Henley in my head every time I saw the title "Dirty Laundry"? ...just sayin. I gotta catch up on these revenge flicks. -Raf
Certainly correct, but there can always be a hard-R HBO Frank Castle series can't there? Would you do it that way? -Raf
Well said Tim....the gang had mixed races btw. Just saying. ...So anyone who pulls the race card can lick one.
...1.6 million right now after just 3 days of being online....I'm damn certain that people would have payed a few bucks just to see the short. Let's say only half the viewers (800k) payed 2.99 to watch the short....that's about 2.4 million dollars right fucking there for a film that was done on low/no budget and free time. Marvel - open up our fuckin eyes and give us all what's right: The dream Punisher film starring Tom. Adam - He certainly did a kick ass job on the voiceover work didn't he? Tell me that wasn't one of the sweetest games you ever played! Tom - Dunno if you missed

Ink & Snow: "Noir-thern Lights"
Riffing off an older idea that hinges on phonetic wordplay, along with some bonus trivia on the Maltese Falcon: not just the quote but the street sign has a double meaning too - that's the establishing shot of the crime scene, which incidentally turned up in a Google Image search while looking for reference shots of Nick Danger's Sam Spade's hat. Because, details. And yeah, that's another swipe courtesy of NASA for the starfield.
"Wind Blown & Dripping – A Book of Aleutian Cartoons" 1945 "Dashiell Hammett, age 49 enlisted in U.S. Army in 1943, editor of camp newspaper on the island of Adak in the Aleutians, recently liberated from Japanese occupation. Hammett edited and financed this book of cartoons by soldier artists (the "Adakians") on his staff." This little book of cartoons, drawn in wax stencils, is probably the single most coolest discovery I ever stumbled across during my frequent digs in the Rasmusen library's Polar Region collection, captures the essence of arctic life beautifully.
And just for comparison's sake, here's what was originally going to be the finished print version, but on a lark I experimented with using the mezzotint filter in Photoshop to add some textural noise, and just like the advice I'm forever doling out to students, push the value! Knowing full well the effect of printing the panel on newsprint will have it can only enhance the ambient aesthetic.
Thanks John - appreciate it.

Q: adding numbers in two different while loops I am fetching data from database in two different while loops and I want to add the variable between them outside the loop. Example:
while($cash_fetch = mysql_fetch_array($cash_qur))
{
      $a = 500; //suppose I am fetching from database
}

while($card_fetch = mysql_fetch_array($card_qur))
{
    $b = 1000; //suppose I am fetching from database
}

$total = $a+$b;

echo $total;

I want to do this thing exactly but I am getting inappropriate results. Please help.

A: You can try this -
$a = $b = 0; // set to 0 by default
while($cash_fetch = mysql_fetch_array($cash_qur))
{
    $a += 500; //Increment
}

while($card_fetch = mysql_fetch_array($card_qur))
{
    $b += 1000; //Increment
}
$total = $a + $b;
echo $total;

A: You may want to do like this:
$total = 0;
while($cash_fetch = mysql_fetch_array($cash_qur))
{
    ++$total; //Increment
}

while($card_fetch = mysql_fetch_array($card_qur))
{
    ++$total; //Increment
}

echo $total; // this will give you a count of total fetched records

A: You can try with this:
$a = 0;
$b = 0;
while($cash_fetch = mysql_fetch_array($cash_qur))
{
      $a = 500; //suppose I am fetching from database
}

while($card_fetch = mysql_fetch_array($card_qur))
{
    $b = 1000; //suppose I am fetching from database
}

$total = $a+$b;

echo $total;

Over the next five blogs I would like to propose a framework for helping you integrate your Leadership Shadow into your conscious awareness and, in doing so, become more adept at managing it. As I often tell my MBA students – if you don't manage your Shadow, it will manage you. And when this occurs, it leads to less than optimal outcomes, at best, or outright disaster, at worst. The purpose of this blog is to define Leadership Shadows and help you identify yours by offering a short (and free) assessment.
When the famous Swiss psychologist Carl Jung was asked by an exasperated patient how to identify his Shadow, he remarked, "Ah yes, now that is the question; how do you find the lion that has already swallowed you?" I am fairly certain he chose his words carefully to make a point about the ferocity of the Shadow when we ignore, deny, or repress it. The Shadow is elusive and by its very nature hard to pin down, especially when we deny or project it onto others. There's an old saying that we often fail to notice that which we refuse to observe. Our Shadow likes us where we are; therefore, taking personal responsibility and paying attention on purpose isn't always easy.
Before we explore some ways to shine some light on our Shadow, it's important to note common defensive mechanisms that keep us in what Jung referred to as the "fog of illusion." There are three common pitfalls to avoid when trying to identify your Shadow: total denial, over-identification, or erratic oscillation between the two. Denying your Leadership Shadow because it is not you at your best, which is reinforced today in our 'StrengthsFinders Culture,' represents your Shadow at its most effective. Denying something is valid or accurate because it doesn't fit your ego "ideal self" is a very common, and very tragic, defensive mechanism. On the other hand, over-identifying with only your negative aspects (i.e., your Leadership Shadow) lacks accuracy and objectivity, too. Both of these extreme responses represent intense reactions in opposite directions, but are inaccurate nonetheless. Wildly moving between the two, one day totally owning and accepting your Leadership Shadow and then the next day denying it, is both erratic and unsustainable, not to mention very difficult for those around you. What these three pitfalls have in common is a lack of measured and rational acceptance, which then leads to integration. As you begin this process, take care to avoid these extremes.
Why do you look at the speck of dust in your brother's eye, but do not consider the wooden beam in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, 'Let me remove the speck from your eye' while the wooden beam is in your own eye? You hypocrite! Remove the beam from your own eye first, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.
The next few blogs will focus on each unique Leadership Style and Shadow and offer a framework for integration. I hope you will take the time to find the "leadership lion" that may have already swallowed you and, in doing so, begin the transformational process of stepping into your highest potential and becoming a more Actualized Leader.

If you had never heard of Enrico Fabris before the 2006 Winter Games in Torino, you probably have now. In his native Italy, the 24 year old speed skater has been hailed as the "Man of the Games" by the press.
His two gold medals in the games – an individual gold in the 1,500 meter and another in the Team Pursuit event – as well as a bronze in the 5000 meter race have certainly earned him the right to that title. He is the most decorated Italian athlete of the Turin games, which, of course, are very special to the Italian people (for obvious reasons). Enrico, who taught himself to play the electric guitar and is currently studying science and the environment – he takes courses via the internet, is only the second Italian to win three medals in one Olympic games. Only Manuela Di Centa, a cross-country skier, has exceeded that feat. She won two golds, two silvers and a bronze in Lillehammer. Enrico has earned one more medal in an Olympics than even Italy's favorite alpine skier, Alberto Tomba. (Tomba earned two golds in the Toronto games in 1988.)(Ansa News, 22-Feb-06).
Turin is only the second Olympics for Enrico, a native of Asiago, Italy who now makes his home in Roana. In 2002, he came in 16th in the 5000 meter and 26th in the 1500 in Salt Lake City. The brown-eyed guy with the wide smile and birth date of October 5, 1981, started competing in short track speed skating events at the tender age of 6. Enrico, who stands 6-feet-2, has also won three World Cup races as well as three Italian National Championships and is the first European Speed Skating champion Italy has ever had.


Real striker Adebayor blasts Barca: You're a bunch of cry babies and it's time you grew up!
Emmanuel Adebayor has accused Barcelona of acting like 'cry babies' after the Catalans beat Real Madrid 2-0 in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final on Wednesday night.
The on-loan Manchester City striker says Barca do not know the meaning of the word 'fair play' and spend most of the time rolling around the floor crying as soon as they are tackled by an opposition player.
Adebayor came on as a half-time substitute after team-mate Pepe was sent off for a tackle on Barcelona's Daniel Alves but the former Arsenal hitman could not stop their rivals running out 2-0 winners at the Bernabeu.
'Maybe Pepe committed a foul but I don't think it was a red card,' Adebayor said. 'Whenever you play against Barca, whenever you touch them they are on the floor crying like a baby.
'Everyone talks about Barcelona and their fair play but I think they are very far away from fair play.
'Whenever you make contact when going for a one-on-one or 50-50 ball they are on the floor crying, putting their hand up near their face.

Grangetown is an area in the borough of Redcar and Cleveland, North Yorkshire, England. The area is  east of Middlesbrough and  from south-west of Redcar.

A ward covering the area had a population of 5,088 at the 2011 census. It is part of Greater Eston, which includes the area and the other centres of Eston, Normanby, South Bank, Teesville and part of Ormesby.

History

The development of Grangetown was the discovery of ironstone in the Eston Hills in 1840, and the further development of the iron and steel industry along the riverbanks by Messrs. Bolckow and Vaughan from 1881. The name of the village was taken from a farm nearby called Eston Grange, formerly a working farm for the monks of Guisborough Priory.

By 1914, it was community of around 5,500 people with most houses lying between Bolckow Road and the steel works. There was a market square, shopping centre, boarding school, three pubs, six places of worship, a police station and public bathhouse. The Church of St Matthew, which was built in 1901, was demolished in 1979 and replaced with another building, the St Hilda of Whitby Church. Though the inhabitants came from many parts of the country, the community had built up a strong identity and local pride. The majority of men worked in the steel works, but a wide range of skills was represented within the area and a whole cross-section of society lived together in the area. In 1906, a power station was built near the railway station, which was the first in the world to generate at 11,000 volts. It closed in 1937  and was demolished in 1969.

Grangetown had a period of expansion between 1914 and 1939. Both the steel companies and the Eston Urban District council built estates from Bolckow Road to and across the new A1085 Trunk Road, with the steel company Bolckow Vaughan expanding their housing under the name of Grangetown Garden Village. The population in 1939 was approximately 9,000. After the war, council house building was extended and in the 1950s reached Fabian Road.

The modern centre is on Birchington Avenue, the move in part due to the A66, which built through the area in the 1980s, and ends at a roundabout in the east of Grangetown. Victorian terraced-houses, near heavy industry along the River Tees have been replaced with warehouses and depots of lighter industry. Some new houses have been built over the years with most of its original Victorian architecture lost.

Governance
It was historically part of the ancient Langbaurgh Wapentake in the Cleveland area of Yorkshire in its North Riding. The ancient parish of Ormesby was split into civil parishes, the area became part of the Eston parish. The civil parish developed into the Eston Urban District. The district was merged into County Borough of Teesside in 1968 until 1974. The area was then placed into the Borough of Langbaurgh's County of Cleveland until 1988 when it became the Borough of Langbaurgh-on-Tees, which became the present Unitary Authority of Redcar and Cleveland.

Politics

Grangetown is part of Redcar constituency, and is represented by Conservative Member Jacob Young in the House of Commons.

Although availability of the first beta of LapTimer Rookie Android is some weeks ahead, I thought I make the testing system available for registration already. Please read through the text below. In case you agree and want to participate, please use the link in the bottom to register yourself and your device to Testflight, the system I plan to use for alpha / beta testing.
To participate in LapTimer Rookie Android alpha and beta testing, you need to sign up here. Please do not expect the first test version to become available ahead of 2nd week of June and do not request updates on the schedule.
Early version will miss stability and miss some features. Please do not participate in case you expect a production ready app. Please participate only in case you are able and willing to test LapTimer and give intensive feedback on your experience.
No information I will make available during testing must be passed on, or commented on outside the LapTimer Android tester community. Please send any feedback using Testflight. By signing in into Testflight, you agree to this.
To receive builds, you need to register your Android device. Requirement for the devices used is API level 11 and above, which is Android 3.0 or later. All screen sizes will be supported, but Normal will be optimized best (the typical high end smartphones, not tablets).
Please check viewtopic.php?f=11&t=1369 for further information. In a later stage, I will probably make a dedicated forum available. So if you are no forum user yet, consider to register at http://forum.gps-laptimer.de now.
Looking forward to a productive and inspiring testing phase.
Testflight registration done. Keep up the good work.
Registered. Keep up the great work. Thanks!
Registered , but no app yet ???

Sneak Peek: Gucci's New Fragrance Campaign, Directed by Frank Miller and Starring Evan Rachel Wood
We have a feeling a lot of fashion people are really into Sin City, so this Frank Miller-directed teaser for the fragrance Gucci Guilty should please. Evan Rachel Wood stars alongside Chris Evans in the film, which will make its debut at the MTV Video Music Awards on September 12. The trailer, shown here, is pretty stunning, too. (Although we can't take Chris Evans seriously--but that's for another time, another blog.)

More On Gucci Guilty, The Fragrance Inspired By Streisand
Yesterday, we got a sneak preview of Gucci's upcoming fragrance, Gucci Guilty. We learned about the scent's composition, the inspiration from Streisand and the Frank Miller-directed TV commercial starring Evan Rachel Wood. The fragrance: The top notes are mandarin and pink peppercorn; middle notes are fruit and lavender; and base notes are amber and patchouli. It smells good, but the amber and patchouli are a little much for me, personally. The name: Apparently, Gucci creative director Frida Giannini is a big Streisand fan. The name "Guilty" came to her while she was in her car listening to a Streisand song of the same name. Another source of inspiration for the fragrance? The cover of the 1976 film A Star Is Born starring Streisand and Kris Kristofferson. In fact the resemblance to the print ad is almost striking (see above). The bottle: The bottle is awesome. It's Gucci's first perfume bottle to feature the interlocking G's and it almost looks like it's hollow from the front while the liquid is more visible from the sides. It's simple and chic, has a retro/art deco feel and would just look really pretty on top of my dresser. The ad campaign:

Joe Grushecky (* 1948 oder 1949 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) ist ein US-amerikanischer Musiker.

Biografie
Grushecky brachte mit seiner ersten Band, den Iron City Houserockers, 1979 das Album "Love's So Tough" heraus, das vom Magazin Rolling Stone als "Debüt-Album des Jahres" bezeichnet wurde. Seitdem wird sein Musikstil regelmäßig dem Mainstream-Rock zugeordnet. 1983 löste sich die Band auf und Joe Grushecky nahm eine Stelle als Lehrer an. In den nächsten Jahren veröffentlichte er lediglich eine Single, bevor er 1989 mit "Rock And Real" wieder eine Langspielplatte, diesmal als Solo-Projekt, veröffentlichte, die wie die nachfolgende Produktion "Swimming With the Sharks" bei Rounder Records erschien. Grushecky gründete wieder eine Band und tritt mit dieser seither unter dem Namen Joe Grushecky & The Houserockers auf.

1995 begann eine jahrelange Zusammenarbeit mit Bruce Springsteen; erstes veröffentlichtes Resultat war im selben Jahr das Album "American Babylon", das von Springsteen produziert wurde und an dem er auch als Gitarrist und Sänger mitgewirkt hat. Grushecky war Co-Autor des Titels "Code Of Silence", für den Springsteen 2005 mit einem Grammy ausgezeichnet wurde.

Grushecky ist verheiratet, hat einen Sohn und eine Tochter.

There is a long tradition among Catholics of offering flowers to Mary in May. Where I grew up in Anchorage Alaska, the summer days last until almost midnight. Twenty hours of sunlight a day can produce amazing flowers! My mother devoted many hours to cultivating them, especially gladiolas. They stood proud and tall on the front porch in reds and purples, as if to defy winter by their proud beauty. In the backyard we had a grotto and after reciting the rosary, my siblings and I would offer our bouquets to Mary among strains of Salve Regina. The rosary always seemed better in May, and we knew that if our behavior at other times was somewhat lacking, May flowers could smooth over many faults.
May culminates in the feast of the Visitation. Most of us have seen depictions of this Mystery, the second Joyful Mystery of the Rosary. It shows Mary visiting her cousin, Elizabeth, who is with child. The two of them embrace joyously. Mary's visit to Elizabeth was also a visitation from God. "Visitation" is used in Scripture to refer to an encounter between God and the faithful soul, a moment of intimacy in which God imparts some gift or message deep within the human heart. When Mary visited Elizabeth, she mediated the power and presence of the Holy Spirit: the Babe in Mary's womb gifted the babe in Elizabeth's womb with sanctifying grace and Elizabeth herself was filled with the Holy Spirit. In this mysterious meeting, Mary would later become known as "Mediatrix of All Grace." She brings Jesus, God-made-flesh, to Elizabeth and to us. When the Holy Spirit finds an open heart, God rushes in to purify and make our hearts holy and joyous: as the gospel says, the child leapt for joy.
What does it mean to mediate grace? Well, Mary receives God in the Annunciation, and she gives God away in the Visitation; she responds to the Angel's "Salve Maria" with her Fiat ("let it be done to me according to your word") and then greets Elizabeth with her own "Salve" thus giving grace to others. But Mary had to first receive before she could give. God works in this way, to promote a kind of chain reaction of grace and love wherever souls cooperate with the loving plan of God. Mary is Mediatrix of Grace to those around her because she participates wholly in God's plan for humanity.
What does the Visitation mean for us? When we come ready to follow the will of God in our lives, no matter how simple or obvious it may be—working at our jobs, taking care of our families, making time for prayer, taking time to volunteer—that humble obedience in faith can mediate divine grace to others. We don't often know the impact of our actions here and now, but that doesn't mean God isn't using us to spread his grace around. When Mary went to assist her pregnant cousin, nothing could have been more simple and humble, and yet it became the occasion of great grace. God uses our life circumstances as well, to create miraculous grace. If we are sons and daughters of Mary, we must certainly be like her in this regard.
The Visitation is one of my favorite mysteries. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on it.
Thank you, Julie! Beautifully insightful.
What a gorgeous piece of writing you have given to us! This prompts me to want to spend some time, contemplating the flowers and considering the just how to further surrender to and follow God's will. Thank you for this!
Yes, thanks for reminding me to do this too, instead of just writing about it, ha, ha! Thanks for your kind words.
Just lovely. Lots of food for thought here around the idea of receiving grace and how that is a necessary step before passing it along to others. Thanks for helping me see the Visitation in a new light!
Excellent piece of lectio divina, Julie! From now on, I want to know every piece of Mariology issued from your soul. God bless you!

Egypt satirist Bassem Youssef says show's suspension wasn't nice
Bassem Youssef made his first televised appearance in Egypt since November
The Associated Press, Cairo
A popular Egyptian satirist known as the country's "Jon Stewart" said Wednesday that he'll take the military and the government it backs at their word that they were not behind the decision to take his weekly TV program off the air, but he said it still doesn't make them look "very nice."
Bassem Youssef spoke in a TV interview, his first televised appearance in Egypt since November when the private station CBC suspended his show after the season's first episode, which was highly critical of the military and the nationalist fervor gripping the nation after a popularly backed coup that ousted Islamist leader Mohammed Mursi.
The station said the satirist had violated its editorial policy and contractual obligations, and that he upset Egyptians sensibilities by attacking "symbols of the state."
Government and presidential officials at the time said the decision was a private issue between Youssef and the station.
Youssef, whose show called "The Program" mirrored Stewart's "The Daily Show" although it was weekly, said he truly believes the military-backed government's denials that it did not order the suspension but added that "at the end of the day, the regime doesn't look very nice."
"This is a program that will upset some people, please others, and others won't care for it," he said. "But you don't have to be a custodian of the people."
Mursi and his Islamist allies were regular targets for jokes by Youssef, who came under litigation by the supporters of the now ousted president, and was briefly held before he posted bail.
"The fact of the matter is after 30 episodes (under Mursi), the program wasn't stopped," he told his interviewer Yosry Fouda on the private ONTV station. "But it was (now) stopped after one episode."
Several complaints were filed after Youssef's episode, by many private citizens and politicians accusing him of disrespecting the country's military rulers and offending public sentiments.
Youssef took to task his once-loyal liberal fans for having the same low tolerance of criticism as his Islamist detractors under Mursi.
The production company of Youssef's show said after the suspension of the program, it decided to leave the private station but it wasn't clear if it is seeking another venue.
Youssef was one of four foreign journalists honored with Press Freedom Awards on Nov. 26 by the Committee to Protect Journalists in New York.

Trace: • clinic
The Rat's Nest has a shadow clinic that is above the standards of what you'd normally expect at such a place. Treatment is mostly free for people who live at the Rat's Nest because everyone pays a monthly sum into health insurance via a non-profit organisation. People from outside the Nest pay for treatment, mostly what they can afford and the clinic has a policy of treating everyone, with no view to gang membership or race or whatever. Stuff like augmentations and other things purely for lifestyle must be paid for by everyone, this is a source of income for the clinic.
Since there is only a small team, the clinic is constantly overworked. But so far they have managed to give the Nest health care that most other squatter communities can only dream of. There is also a converted van that can function as both an ambulance and a mobile clinic. It's called COW – clinic on wheels.
People at the clinic:
Neil Munroe, the Doc
Chazz, dwarf med tech and former firefighter
Diego de los Dolores, med tech aka Auxdoc
Liz "Ducky" O'Hara, nurse
Nebraska, trains to be a nurse on the job
Simon, ork med tech
Stanley Voynich, street doc
Trishna
Whistler, has been taught medicine on the fly by Neil, died in March 2071
The clinic is destroyed in a raid on the Rat's Nest.
The rebuilt clinic is destroyed again in a hit on the Rat's Nest that takes out the hackers' containers and the bridge as well. The First Nations had been using the Nest as a basis of operations in their war with the Crimson Crush and someone decided to take that away from them.
March 2071 The clinic has been moved to the Valley General Hospital in Snohomish. The Nest has a med station for the small stuff. Stanley has joined the team of the clinic.
Whistler dies after an attempt to free him of his Tempo addiction and the clinic is closed down for several days.
The med station is partly destroyed by a spirit.

Q: Choosing the correct elements with JQuery I am reading in a page with JS that looks like this:

PROJECTED 2014     SEASON STATS

            2014 Projections

            16/17
            12/14
            5/7
            33/38
            55/55

            171

        ...

Basically, there's a bunch of these table.tableBody elements in side the div.games-fullcol element. In each, I want to parse out the text in the tr.tableBody. This is what I am trying currently:
var $ = window.$;
var table = $("div.games-fullcol");
table.find("table.tableBody").each(function (i, el) {
    var $trs = $(this).find('tr.tableBody').filter(function() {
        return $(this).css('background-color') == '#f8f8f2';
    });
    console.log($trs.eq(0).text());
});

And right now, that console.log prints out a bunch of blank lines (no idea why). I want it to output '2014 Projections'. There must be an issue with how I'm looking for it in the DOM, but I can't figure out what it is. Can anyone find the issue with my logic?

A: If you are relaying on the attribute:
bgcolor="#f8f8f2"

You should change your filter to:
return $(this).attr('bgcolor') == "#f8f8f2"

At the moment your filter is checking for the css style background-color and not the HMTL attribute bgcolor.
That being said, making your code dependent of the layout style is a very bad idea, why dont you use classes and filter using them?

Honestly, going through this phase of motherhood — there's no delicate way to put it — is painful. They are adamant about paving their own way through the world, and no amount of blueberry pancakes or snicker doodles is going to draw them back.
When the meals go uneaten, day after day, in favor of Taco Bell, and bags of Jerky, I turn my head so I can avoid the pain, and choose not to pick this battle — not worth it when there are many other important ones.
But, it's a longer journey than I thought it would be, and I don't think I brought along enough supplies. We moms commiserate about it together, which helps to know you're not alone. But honestly, I'm not telling them the truth. About how I feel ripped apart. Maybe they're holding back too.
But what I really want are answers. From someone who's been here before. I know it doesn't help that they are all lined up as teenagers now, and one is just following the other in a long, endless track, but I really want answers. Is this temporary? Have I done something horribly wrong? Is this normal? What steps do I need to be taking right now — other than keeping my prayer journal active and full?
Tonight, sitting on the deck, someone said, I remember when you used to get your kids all cleaned up and ready for bed, and in clean pajamas, and they would walk out of the house and right out into the water.
For a moment, it hardly seemed believable. Today, the thought of any one of them marching boldly into the water seems about as likely as an elephant stopping by for tea.
But that's exactly what they would do… and I even had an exasperated mantra for it — don't get wet. It was one of my constant battles that kept me on my toes, constantly looking for stray bits of wet clothing that was stashed somewhere and not hanging up.
I ran to the store, at dusk, to pick up milk and eggs for the morning. As I walked back to the house in the dark, I could see the flickering of camp fires, and hear the high melodic sounds of voices from children that are tired, wishful and dreamy. It sounded too familiar — but then, I realized, the sounds weren't even coming from my house — but from somewhere else. And suddenly, I felt a loss that ran deep, for something that was stolen right out from under me.
Oh my my heart just broke. I can't say I have been there because I am only on my way there. And I dread that day.
Sending you a tight hug.
I know exactly what you are feeling. Exactly. I still feel it from time to time. But you know, at 22 she called me the other night, to go to the movies with her…and she sat and held my hand throughout. You have sewn strong and certain seeds. There will be a time of change but they will come back to their roots. I feel this for you more than for anyone I have ever 'known'. Even if it is only blog knowing…..
