Catholic divine office1/4/2023 You might be trying to limit your screen time and the apps might seem like a distraction to that. So the most I hope to do is to convince readers to consider praying the Liturgy of the Hours, and more often. I hope not to sound reproving when I acknowledge that the ability to get into a strict prayer regimen is tough on nearly all of us. And guess what? Your phone can remind you that it’s time to pray with a subtle alarm! At lunch, on the bus or train, waiting to pick up my kids from school-whatever-the prayers are available in a couple swipes and taps. Somewhat similar to the first point I make, since I take my phone with me nearly everywhere, there my prayers are, too. However hilarious that is, it can be a job to move those ribbons around and if it’s too much, the smartphone apps are a sensational solution: tap once and everything is right there in front of you to read, reflect and respond to. Thus, the priest’s sanctity and devotions are insured. In some circles of priest and seminarians, there is a thing known as “ribbon insurance.” The story goes that went a priest dies, the first thing the bishop asks for is his breviary, to check to be sure the ribbons are kept up to date. If you’ve ever browsed or used the Divine Office books, you know it can be a bit of an undertaking to get every ribbon set, only for them to change the next day. If you can stay distraction free, the phone can be an incredible way to link resources and pull together a more immersive study alongside your prayer time. Imagine that you want to know other writings from that slick Office of Readings selection, or want to share a special quote or stanza to your favorite social media. You can’t do any of these with a book. Imagine not being sure which page to start on, or what liturgical day it is. That was the title of a point I made in the other post. (Although, I don’t want my phone to get wet, either!) The apps, on the other hand, are already in my phone that I already have with me. I admit that sometimes, rather than bring my bulky and heavy book on a camping trip, or my beautiful leatherbound set on a multiday trek around Rome or other special pilgrimage locations, I’d rather have a form of the Office that isn’t going to take up much space and that I don’t have to worry about getting soaked or ripped. But “every day” is not conducive to the book form. The apps are virtually weightless and take up zero space.Īs I said in my previous post, as a member of the Dominican tertiary (third order), I elect to pray the Divine Office every day. Even though my personal preference is for the books, the apps offer serious advantages. In April 2019 I wrote Why I Still Prefer the Divine Office Book, Over the Apps - and no, I didn’t trash the apps. I said that in the companion post to this one because it’s still true. And the 15 seconds before mealtime does not count!” A wise and gracious priest used to remind our congregation, at least once a month: “The family that prays together, says together.

Seeking whom he may devour1/4/2023 As a character, he stands out from the rest as having some interest (although I was very curious how he could drop his normal day job so easily and what is the distraction with the woman trying to kiil him?). Some examples "Nobody said anything, pregnantly." - what is this about? - "You'll be in the slammer for the rest of your twatty lives" - are we in the London East End in the 1960s? The plot is OK but completely spoilt by the clumsy language around it.Ī link is established with Adamsberg early in the plot but then not explored until we almost forget about him. I thought the translation was terrible, to the point that I had to look up the person who did it as I was convinced that they could not have been a native English speaker, although it turns out she is. Also more time should have been given to the mountain communities with their beliefs, culture and legends. There is also a huge opportunity missed with the geographical setting - this area is beautiful and the landscape should be a bigger part of the book than it is, had this happened then the atmosphere would have been more appropriate to the plot. At some points the technology is very advanced but then they have difficulty with a mobile which doesn't fit. Oddly, I struggled to place the time setting of the story. Has to be said though that I found it hard to find any level of engagement with the characters - Soliman was just impossible, Watchee was interesting but then behaved out of character. The writing is straight forward which should make it an easy read but I found it took a long time as the language and style is very jarring.Īll through the characters are explained well and they manage to avoid some very stupid plot twists which often happen in this type of book. It’s true! Check out this verse.ġPeter 5:8 - Be sober, be vigilant because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.This is a translation so it is difficult to comment on whether some aspects of the book are the fault of the author or the narrator but someone must take the responsiblity. He is actively roaming around at this very moment, seeking whom he may devour. Seeking whom he may devour how to#Satan knows how to hit us where it hurts. Or, it could be Satan trying to discourage us from joyfully serving the Lord and making a difference in this world. It could be to test us for one reason or another. It could be to show others a witness as we “handle” things in a Christlike manner. It could be to strengthen our faith and draw us closer to the Lord. What matters is that everything we go through in life is for a reason. But, you know what? It doesn’t really matter how big or small our problems are. I also realize we are not the only ones experiencing struggles in our lives and, actually, OUR “problems” are very mild compared to some others I’ve heard about. I can’t help but wonder when it will end and when our lives can get back to “normal” again, if there is such a thing. And now, this past week, we have all been sick and stuck inside the house, except for running a few necessary errands. Shortly after that, there were behavior issues to deal with in our children and in myself. If you look back at my previous blog entries, you will see how, a few weeks ago, the fleas made their appearance. It seems one thing after another creeps up to try and discourage us, bring us down, and keep us from accomplishing the goals we have tried to set in place. I have to admit, these past few weeks have NOT been easy weeks for us.

4 pics 1 word 5 letters desert fort1/4/2023 It can be visualized best as concentric rings of protection that reduce the need for the most risky and dangerous options of control and the potential for pests to evolve and develop. This systems approach to the problem relies on more than one technique to reduce or eliminate pests. Integrated pest management (IPM) techniques are necessary to reduce the number of pests that threaten human health and property. This chapter deals with disease vectors and pests as factors related to the health of households. A CDC-sponsored survey of two major American cities documented that nearly 50% of the premises were infected with rats and mice. According to a 1997 American Housing Survey, rats and mice infested 2.7 million of 97 million housing units. They are capable of transmitting diseases to humans. The existence of cockroaches, rats, and mice mean that they can also be vectors for significant problems that affect health and well-being. Housing-related health concerns include asthma episodes triggered by exposure to dust mites, cockroaches, pets, and rodents.

Zoo tycoon 2 download vollversion1/3/2023 There are also three difficulty levels to choose from at the outset, but I couldn't discern any substantial difference in the computer AI. Time zones are accurately depicted as well, so if you jump from Tokyo to New York, you'll go from night to day, reflecting local time. As time passes, night and day are simulated, complete with sunrises and sunsets. The theme of each city is further emphasized by soundtrack music indigenous of the area. Another agreeable feature is that the various cities each have distinctive style architecture incorporated into the buildings to further the notion that you are actually in Rome, London, New York, etc. This adds a nice touch of realism, rather than playing in imaginary towns with names such as "hungryville" or whatever. You also select what city to build your establishment in from a list of real world locations. The various choices each have different personality traits, making some of them more suitable than others to achieve your objectives depending on the type of strategy you decide to pursue. You begin by selecting a character to act as your CEO. Perhaps a title such as Pizzeria Tycoon or something of the sort (in fact, Fast Food Tycoon shares many similarities with Microprose's 1995 release, Pizza Tycoon, although this earlier title is a bit more simplistic, particularly regarding the graphics) would be more accurate and equitable to consumers. Instead, there is a conspicuous absence of any option other than pizza on the menu. I would have no problem with the modified title if it weren't for the fact that it is considerably misleading - to me, Fast Food Tycoon clearly implies that you will be building and managing a variety of fast food restaurants, including burger joints, fried chicken franchises, taco houses, and more. with a different title than overseas ( Roller Coaster Tycoon expansion, Added Attractions went by the name Corkscrew Follies in the states, for example).

You initially invest in the restaurant industry and then manage numerous factors regarding your business such as infrastructure, finances, staff, menu, advertising, etc. we're talking cold, hard cash here) on hand at the outset of the game into a sizable fortune.

Godzilla planet eater miana1/3/2023 Even heading into The Planet Eater, his compulsion to defeat Godzilla does not make him seem heroic – he behaves like an automaton, just another cog in the machine. As a result of his actions, a great many of his comrades are dead. The damaged, tragic Haruo is a character driven by mindless obsession, thrashing around in vain. The saga’s endless bleakness, and its distrust of humanity in general, made the characters of the previous two films feel unrelatable. But Haruo is an even more wretched character than Dr Serizawa because his cause is based on selfish reasons. #GODZILLA PLANET EATER MIANA MOVIE#Haruo certainly resembles Dr Daisuke Serizawa, the character in the original movie who comes to fear the weapon of mass destruction that he himself had created. In this animated Godzilla trilogy, the echoes of this message can be heard. Released in 1954, the king of monsters was unleashed on postwar Japan to prevent us from forgetting the atrocities we tried to put behind us, from atomic bombings to those lost in battle. It’s important to remember that the original Godzilla was not concerned with the future but with the past. It’s a long trek through three films to reach this payoff, but when it does arrive it is gripping. In this third film, the weary survivors turn to religion and form a death cult, which leads to a thrilling thread of human drama that could not have worked without the costly strategic failures that played out in the previous two films. The second film portrays a totalitarian state where the machine and the self are integrated. In the first film, Haruo commits to military action and his people follow without question. When taken as a whole, the trilogy also poses an interesting commentary on doctrines of mind control. It asks: What is the point in fighting a creature such as Godzilla, rather than simply accepting it and living alongside it? What is survival really worth? What is the meaning of civilization, and the damage it can cause? I hadn't expected this kind of philosophical thinking from a Godzilla anime movie series, but with this final film the saga’s overall thematic aims came into sharper focus. The Planet Eater boils down the essence of Godzilla movies to a metaphysical dialogue on monsters as it explores its themes of humanity and survival. For all this seemingly boundless pessimism, though, The Planet Eater does at least propose the value in appreciating what we already have. #GODZILLA PLANET EATER MIANA SERIES#While the lack of monster-on-monster action in this series remains a disappointment, the despair that pervades The Planet Eater is another important element in the best Godzilla movies. The previous two installments omitted the kinds of scenes that fans of kaiju movies and Godzilla movies would expect – the wrestling bouts between gigantic monsters. While there’s still not a lot of kaiju action in this final chapter, Godzilla thankfully gets a little more screen time here in what’s been a largely talky series.
