Can a building boast nine lives? Seeing the latest iteration of an edifice in Toronto’s historic east end, one might think so.
Located east of the Don Valley (a channel of green space that dissects the city at the outskirts of the downtown core), the Broadview Hotel, which opened in the summer of 2017, is now one of Toronto’s chicest boutique hotels. Part of the Broadview’s charm is its varied history — and those nine lives, if such can exist, have been all over the spectrum.
The structure was built in 1891 by Archibald Dingman, a wealthy entrepreneur who earned his substantial fortune in the soap trade. Looking to invest that fortune, he turned his attention to the real estate boom that was occurring in Toronto’s east end. The intersection of Queen and Broadview served as a thoroughfare between Toronto proper and the newly annexed community of Riverside, and Dingman aptly predicted the value of such a location. He purchased the land and erected Dingman Hall, a social hub for the prominent figures of the day; it served as a regular haunt for politicians, athletes, and other well-known Toronto personalities.
When Dingman turned his attentions and prospects towards the oil boom that was occurring in Alberta at the turn of the twentieth century, he sold the building and it was transformed into the Broadview Hotel. It has since changed hands and names numerous times; in the ’30s, it was known as the Lincoln Hotel, and in the ’70s, a notorious strip joint opened on the ground floor, and the upper floors were converted into a cheap boarding house. Jilly’s, as the strip club was called, operated for three decades and, according to the Broadview’s website, became the setting for numerous myths and urban legends — including one story in which, supposedly, a live tiger appeared onstage beside a dancer.
In May of 2014, the building was once again purchased and transformed. With a luxurious vision and a careful eye trained on the structure’s architectural and social history, Streetcar Developments infused what was once the Broadview Hotel with new life. And in homage to its history, that name was revived.
Today the hotel has been mindfully and imaginatively restored by one of Canada’s most distinguished design firms, DesignAgency, and boasts fifty-eight guest rooms and three venue spaces. The Rooftop, situated on the seventh floor and boasting a large indoor/outdoor terrace as well as magnificent 360-degree views of the Toronto cityscape, is a room meant for any private function, be it night or day. The centrepiece of this room is, perhaps, its grand pyramidal skylight, which floods the cool, airy space with natural light. The Dominion Suite, on the other hand, is a grand guest room that offers views of the Queen and Broadview intersection, and is designed for smaller cocktail parties and receptions.
The true star of the building’s redesign, however, is the Tower. Located on the seventh floor rooftop, this venue offers a breathtaking vaulted ceiling and arched historic windows. Exposed brick, warm wood tones, and numerous chandeliers help to create a swanky atmosphere, a seeming throwback to the building’s early days of glitz and glam.
While elements of the original structure have been honoured and highlighted in this redesign, the rooms themselves are rich with contemporary details. Sleek, streamlined furniture makes the most of each space, and subtle details like floral wallpaper and saturated jewel tones in the upholstery and curtains infuse each room with vintage flair. Each room also comes equipped with a vinyl turntable, so guests can relax or dance to the kind of grainy acoustic sounds that perfectly match this throwback atmosphere.
Rich with character, history, and contemporary elegance, the Broadview Hotel is now a landmark of Toronto’s cultural scene. When it was built, the structure was the tallest building east of the Don Valley — and thanks to the exciting vision of its designers and developers, the Hotel is reaching great heights in a brand new way.

Two preliminary bouts have been added to the first Strikeforce event in 2012.
Light-heavyweights Trevor Smith and Gian Villante are set to face off as are welterweight’s Nah-Shon Burrell and James Terry.
“Strikeforce: Rockhold vs. Jardine” is set to take place on January 7 from The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. Free on Showtime during their free preview weekend, middleweight champion Luke Rockhold is set to make his first title defense against the always tough UFC veteran, Keith Jardine.
Smith brings in a collegiate wrestling background and is considered a “grappling first” fighter. He now fights for the third time under the Strikeforce banner and holds previous submission wins over T.J. Cook and Keith Berry.
Smith faces Villante who made his promotional debut at heavyweight against a very gritty Chad Griggs. A highly touted prospect with a collegiate football career behind him, he has since moved to the light-heavyweight division where he has gone 1-1.
Burrell is a crafty up and comer who will make his third appearance for the promotion. He has so far been able to put together two Strikeforce wins in two appearances over the likes of Lukasz Les and Joe Ray. At 21 years-old he is building a reputation quickly as a knockout artist.
Burrell is now set to face Terry who is moving up a division for the match. He fights for the Strikeforce promotion for the ninth time in this upcoming bout and was last seen at Strikeforce Challengers 19 taking out Magno Almeida.


Right after a relatively wonderful bull run The Dow Jones Industrial Common has had a tough couple of weeks. Cryptocurrency also is experiencing a correction. Could there be a correlation in between the two investment worlds?
We require to be careful using obscure phrases like “bull and bear marketplaces” when crossing above into each and every investment decision room. The primary cause for this is that cryptocurrency over the program of its amazing 2017 “bull operate” observed gains of effectively above 10x. If you put $1,000 into Bitcoin at the starting of 2017 you would have produced effectively more than $ten,000 by the stop of the yr. Classic stock investing has never seasoned something like that. In 2017 the Dow enhanced roughly 23%.
I am really careful when reviewing information and charts due to the fact I recognize that you can make the quantities say what you want them to say. Just as crypto saw massive gains in 2017, 2018 has witnessed an equally fast correction. The stage I am making an attempt to make is that we need to consider to be goal in our comparisons.
Many that are new to the cryptocurrency camp are shocked at the latest crash. All they’ve read was how all these early adopters had been getting wealthy and acquiring Lambos. To a lot more skilled traders, this industry correction was rather evident owing to the skyrocketing rates in excess of the final two months. Several digital currencies lately made a lot of folks right away millionaires. It was apparent that sooner or later they would want to take some of that earnings off the table.
Another issue I feel we really need to have to think about is the recent addition of Bitcoin futures buying and selling. I individually think that there are major forces at perform listed here led by the outdated guard that want to see crypto are unsuccessful. I also see futures investing and the exhilaration about crypto ETFs as good actions toward making crypto mainstream and regarded as a “genuine” investment decision.
Possessing said all that, I began to consider, “What if in some way there IS a link right here?”
What if undesirable news on Wall Street impacted crypto exchanges like Coinbase and Binance? Could it trigger them each to fall on the identical working day? Or what if the opposite ended up true and it triggered crypto to improve as individuals had been hunting for an additional location to park their funds?
In the spirit of not attempting to skew the quantities and to continue being as objective as feasible, I needed to wait around until finally we noticed a fairly neutral actively playing field. This week is about as good as any as it represents a interval in time when both marketplaces noticed corrections.
For individuals not acquainted with cryptocurrency investing, in contrast to the stock industry, the exchanges by no means near. Crypto fund ‘ve traded stocks for more than twenty many years and know all too effectively that emotion the place you happen to be sitting close to on a lazy Sunday afternoon considering,
“I genuinely want I could trade a position or two correct now since I know when the marketplaces open up the cost will modify drastically.”
That Walmart-like availability can also lend to knee-jerk emotional reactions that can snowball in possibly route. With the conventional inventory market individuals have a possibility to hit the pause button and slumber on their decisions right away.
To get the equal of a a single 7 days cycle, I took the previous seven times of crypto trading knowledge and the past five for the DJIA.
Here is a aspect by facet comparison over the previous week (3-three-18 to three-10-eighteen). The Dow (thanks to twenty of the 30 businesses that it is composed of losing funds) diminished 1330 details which represented a 5.21% decline.
For cryptocurrencies locating an apples to apples comparison is a small diverse simply because a Dow does not technically exist. This is changing although as a lot of teams are producing their own version of it. The closest comparison at this time is to use the leading 30 cryptocurrencies in conditions of complete market cap dimensions.
In accordance to coinmarketcap.com, twenty of the best 30 cash ended up down in the previous 7 days. Seem common? If you seem at the whole crypto industry, the measurement fell from $445 billion to 422 billion. Bitcoin, noticed as the gold regular equivalent, observed a 6.seven% lower during the very same time frame. Normally as goes Bitcoin so go the altcoins.
Coincidence or causation? How is that we observed practically related final results? Have been there equivalent causes at perform?
Even though the fall in prices appears to be equivalent, I discover it fascinating that the factors for this are vastly various. I instructed you before that figures can be deceiving so we actually need to have to pull back the layers.
This is the main information impacting the Dow:
In accordance to United states of america Right now, “Powerful pay out data sparked fears of coming wage inflation, which intensified anxieties that the Federal Reserve may possibly need to have to hike prices a lot more often this year than the a few moments it experienced originally signaled.”
Since crypto is decentralized it are unable to be manipulated by fascination costs. That could mean that in the extended operate increased rates could lead traders to place their cash elsewhere seeking for increased returns. That is where crypto could very effectively arrive into engage in.
If it was not fascination costs, then what triggered the crypto correction?
It really is largely owing to conflicting news from many nations as to what their stance will be undoubtedly impacts the market. Folks worldwide are uneasy as to whether or not or not nations around the world will even allow them as a authorized investment.


Transcendental Meditation (TM) is a form of silent mantra meditation advocated by the Transcendental Meditation movement. Maharishi Mahesh Yogi created the technique in India in the mid-1950s. Advocates of TM claim that the technique promotes a state of relaxed awareness, stress relief, and access to higher states of consciousness, as well as physiological benefits such as reducing the risk of heart disease and high blood pressure.Building on the teachings of his master Brahmananda Saraswati (known honorifically as Guru Dev), the Maharishi taught thousands of people during a series of world tours from 1958 to 1965, expressing his teachings in spiritual and religious terms. TM became more popular in the 1960s and 1970s, as the Maharishi shifted to a more technical presentation, and his meditation technique was practiced by celebrities, most prominently members of the Beatles and the Beach Boys. At this time, he began training TM teachers and created specialized organizations to present TM to specific segments of the population such as business people and students. By the early 2000s, TM had been taught to millions of people; the...

With fond memories of visiting New York City throughout the 90s, Cherie Williams counts the bustling metropolis as one of her favourite places to enjoy a mini city break. Three years since her last visit, she has just returned from New York City and shares her highlights of the best things to see and do.
I’ve been fascinated by New York for more than 20 years. In my early 20’s I flew out to New York every opportunity I had. I fearlessly explored the various boroughs spending time in not only Manhattan but the Bronx’s (which gave me pre-hipster Dalston vibes), Brooklyn, Queens and Harlem.
Some of my best memories of New York are music related for e.g., going to see hip hop artists such Tracey Lee and Busta Rhymes as well as getting lost in Bedford-Stuyvesant (the childhood turf of Christopher Wallace aka Biggie Smalls) looking for Jamaican food. Yes, I know I don’t look like a typical hip-hop head but back then it was all about embracing the culture, music and Black excellence, which at the time was very African American. Us Black Brits have finally caught up!
Last month I decided it was time to head back to New York after a three-year absence to check out what’s new.
Here’s what I got up to during my four days in New York City:
Where to eat
Like London, New York is blessed with a global cuisine however, it doesn’t matter where I am in the world I always seek out a Jamaican restaurant. I had the most amazing Oxtail meal at Miss Lily’s in Soho, followed by a melon cocktail. After a great meal, sadly, I had no space left for dessert!
Another spot with great food and atmosphere was Barbounia, a Mediterranean restaurant very close to Greenwich. Also, if you fancy an American dining experience, definitely check out Dallas BBQ, in Times Square. Never in my life have I seen starters bigger than a three-course meal!
Where to stay
Finding the right place to stay on any trip is crucial and I found it in the Hudson hotel, a beautiful almost hidden hotel in midtown Manhattan. The hotel has an average of three stars on Trip Advisor but the only reason I can see why this would be is that the rooms are small, incredibly small! Secondly, they don’t serve food, but you are surrounded by food places on every corner outside of the hotel.
If location is key, then the Hudson is a perfect spot! You’re five minutes from the Metro, Central park and Columbus Circle – shops, shops and more shops!
Where to visit
Everyone knows about Times Square, the famous entertainment and theatre district. Always super crowded and busy but I love it! On this visit I went to see a movie, The Joker! Then headed to Dallas BBQ restaurant (mentioned above) to catch up with friends.
If you adore rose wine, enjoy interactive experiences and you’re a keen Instagrammer, then Rose Mansion is a great spot to checkout. Don’t ask me how they did it, but the attraction includes a wine bar, amusement park and science museum!
The Hudson Yards development really stood out! New York is creating a city within a city, with residential homes and businesses located in towers, some over 100 floors high. The development also includes a designer-based retail development and plans to open a school and a medical centre.
Hudson Yards was recently announced as the new home of Amazon in New York city, it looks amazing at night and if you’re a sci-fi fan, or fan of futuristic-looking architecture, then The Vessel located in the heart of Hudson Yards, will be right up your street.
The two key sights in the district are the World Trade Centre and the 9/11 Memorial, the latter is beautiful. What really caught my eye was the array of modern buildings and architecture. If that’s your thing it’s definitely worth checking out.
The High Line
The High Line is an elevated train line, lined with public art, sculptures, greenery and gardens, and food vendors where you can stop off to grab a bite to eat in the warmer months. The High Line is a brilliant example of restoration and creating usable public space.
The High Line has an app which will guide you along the route or feel free to just take a leisurely stroll like I did! It’s a great place to walk about and take a peek through the windows of the super expensive flats that line the High Line.
Taiji Body Works
I also had the most amazing massage in New York at Taiji Body Works, a mixture of deep tissue, hot stone and hot towel for £50 for 90 minutes. If you’re a fan of massages you will know that’s a great deal. I walked in with a stiff upper back and felt like I floated out of the building after my treatment.

What Is Your Golden Age
If you could live at anytime in history, what time would you choose?
I recently watched a movie where the main character wanted to live in Paris during the 1920's. At the stroke of midnight he was mysteriously transported to the 1920s. He, of course, saw all the mystique and awe of the sights, sounds, and people. It truly was all he had hoped.
Then he met a girl from the 20's who had the same thoughts but about the 1890's. One night as they walked the Parisian streets they were mysteriously transported to the 1890's. She, of course, saw all the mystique and was in awe with the sights, sounds, and people. It truly was all she had hoped.
The main character heard two men from the 1890's talking about the wonder of the Renaissance and wishing they could have lived at that time. It was then that he realized we all wish to be in a different time and place.
His revelation helped him realize the beauty of the year he originally lived in.
A great theme.
I also considered, though, that there was nothing wrong with dreaming of living in a different place or time. After all, our real home is not here, but in heaven. Perhaps when we think these thoughts we are infusing our conception of what heaven might be like. We see the good of the time or place we dream of.
So…today I invite you to have some fun.
Dream a bit…
If you could, for one day, be any place at any time, what would you pick?
I will start…
I must admit it would be very difficult to choose only one place. It would have to be a time when the world experienced peace. I wouldn't want to get killed in my special place. Let's see, I'd also like my hubby to be with me. It would have to be a sunny place, not too hot and not too cold. Perhaps a bit of adventure. Yes. Now I've picked the place. I'd like to go on an African safari trip.
Your turn. Where and when would you choose for your golden day?


The transaction will increase APICORP's ownership in the joint venture to 17%. Methanex will remain the operator and majority shareholder of EMethanex with just over 50% ownership. The remaining 33% interest is held by several Egyptian government shareholders. Subject to completion of certain conditions precedent, the companies expect the sale to be finalized by the end of 2013.
APICORP, an inter-Arab development bank, raises capital through an array of strategic equity and debt investments with the objective of fostering the development of the Arab world's oil and gas industries. APICORP is a strong supporter of Egypt and has been a shareholder of EMethanex since the project's inception. The company has steadily expanded the scope of its investments in the energy industry including midstream sectors such as methanol.
John Floren, President and CEO of Methanex commented, "This is a win-win arrangement. The transaction aligns with APICORP's investment strategy, and EMethanex will benefit from APICORP's growing support. We are looking forward to continuing to build our relationship with APICORP. In Egypt, we have built a world-class methanol facility, and we believe our Egyptian operations will continue to create value for shareholders today and well into the future."
Kamilia Sofia, President and CEO of EMethanex stated, "This transaction is positive for both EMethanex and Egypt. It demonstrates the support of APICORP for EMethanex and its confidence in Egypt's future."
Ahmad Bin Hamad Al Nuaimi, APICORP's CEO and GM stated, "We are pleased to be increasing our investment in EMethanex. This investment supports our strategy of deepening our support for midstream and downstream sectors in the Arab energy industry. The EMethanex plant is a world class methanol facility and we expect it to generate strong value for our shareholders. This transaction also further expands our support for Egypt's hydrocarbon industry."
Methanex will remain the majority shareholder of EMethanex and there will be no governance changes or impact on its operations. EMethanex will continue to be integrated into Methanex's organization. This state of the art methanol production facility started commercial operations in 2011.
The plant is located in Damietta, Egypt on the Mediterranean Sea and is among the most energy efficient methanol plants in the world.

Everything we like can be traced back to qualities that are inherent in our personalities. Everything we enjoy is an outward representation of who we are. From our favorite music or artistic movement, our preferred clothes, and food to the TV shows we watch, everything we love is a part of us. The world of Art is absolutely representative of this, and throughout time, the idea of the artist and their art is inextricably linked in our minds. Each artistic movement has a temperament and each can be linked to a type of personality that creates it. Of course, this means that the art we love can say a lot about ourselves! So just what does your favorite art say about you?
Realism artistic movement
What is it?
Realism is the artistic movement which, like its name implies, attempts to truthfully represent the given subject without any kind of artistic artificiality.
It is one of the longest-standing forms of art, being contained within art movements dating back all the way to the 15th century and beyond. It is characterized by its unflinching dedication to the actual and to proper form and technique.Everyone from Medieval tapestry makers to photo-realistic artists of our time has a foot in the realism movement and it has been one of the longest, most enduring ways to express ourselves and our talent.
What does Realism movement say about you?
You love the classics and you love the artistic tradition. You are probably very interested in aesthetics and design in your own life and you most likely appreciate vintage aesthetics and stories. You’re nostalgic at heart and you love reminiscing about other time periods, even if you aren’t necessarily blinded by the past. You have a great appreciation for technique and composition and love seeing a skillful hand creating something beautiful.
This form has created artists of all stripes from all kinds of time periods, but important, immortal figures like
- Leonardo Da Vinci
- Johannes Vermeer
- Rembrandt and more are all good representations of the artistic movement and Realist artwork.
Impressionism artistic movement
What is it?
19th-century artistic movement, this form was characterized primarily by light colors, open compositions, small brushstrokes, and depictions of the passage of time through light (e.g., dawn or dusk motifs) all in an attempt to capture the essence of scenes (the impression) without the literal. In pointing our attention to more ephemeral aspects of scenes, we can understand the implicit truth through them.
What does Impressionism movement say about you?
You are probably much more inclined to be a quiet and introspective artistic individual. You love reading books and using your smarts to deal with people and social situations. “Brevity is the soul of wit” is your motto and you’re much more likely to love and appreciate Buddhist koans than you are to listen to a long-winded political speech. You love playful trickster characters in your stories when compared to the outgoing, extroverted ones.
You can’t talk about Impressionism without mentioning first Claude Monet, who basically defines the form.
However, some other artists remain very popular and are all exceptional examples of the artistic movement as well. We will mention painters such as:
Expressionism artistic movement
What is it?
Originating in Germany in the early 20th century, Expressionism is the ultimate in subjective art. Deriving inspiration by depicting the world from the inside out, it fully puts the subjective, interior reality of the artist on display. It is important to Expressionists to express the truth contained in subjective emotional experience by distorting the ‘real’ world radically in order to visualize their realities.
Expressionism is an artistic movement that comes in many artistic forms. From architecture to music, the unifying theme is the emotional landscape of the artist themselves.
What does Expressionism movement say about you?
You’re the consummate artist – you are very interested in your emotions and your emotional wellbeing and you love viewing the world with your life’s subjective lens fully in view. You love colorful and passionate art, music and stories, and your aesthetic is probably one of the loudest of the people you know. You’re opinionated and experienced and you wouldn’t have it any other way!
The Expressionist movement is a wide-ranging movement from all corners of the world, but some of the most famous artists are:
Surrealism artistic movement
What is it?
Surrealism is famous and brilliant artistic movement starting in the early 1920’s. This form is typified by its complete departure from traditional compositions and conventional subject matter. Illogic and the strange runs this medium from the bottom up and give the form its impact and its beauty. Surprising juxtapositions and non-sequiturs run rampant over the canvas and completely asymmetrical ideas abound.
Surprising juxtapositions and non-sequiturs run rampant over the canvas and completely asymmetrical ideas abound.
What does Surrealism movement say about you?
You probably love being playful and strange and use every opportunity to challenge people and be unique. Your dreams and ideas and your way of looking at the world is most likely unique. You enjoy having opera DVDs alongside Rambo and you probably play Devil’s advocate more than you should. You most likely love Monty Python.
As one of the most famous art forms in terms of popularity and recognition, Surrealist artists have enjoyed a very high level of fame. Icons like Dali and Magritte are two of the best examples of this brilliant and vibrant art form.
But also artists such as:
What is it?
Abstract art was a form that took reality itself and condensed it down to its absolute minimal and quintessential elements – to the point of creating a piece that is almost absolutely without grounding in the original vision.
It is the form that exists to display the world that is independent of reality; a sculpture of the idea of Flight, for instance (a concept, not a literal reality). Bringing to light that which is imperceptible is the primary aim of abstraction.
What does Abstract Art say about you?
You love thinking outside the box and gleaning implicit meanings from things. You probably live in your head and probably use all kinds of things in unique and creative ways. Just because something is real doesn’t mean that’s the end of the story, and that’s where you thrive!
From Jackson Pollock to Picasso, to Mondrian and beyond, the varied and unique ways this artistic movement has represented Abstract artists are too numerous to list.
Abstract art has been around for almost a hundred years and it still has strength in the art scene to this day.
Pop Art movement
What is it?
Taking cues from popular culture, Pop Art is the artistic movement that most firmly thumbs its nose at the more established, traditional forms, because of its reliance on pop culture content and imagery.
Advertising, comic books, mundane objects and more are all prime examples of subject matter for Pop Artists. It is the artistic movement that fully embraces the popular and the superficial, and thereby lifts it up and gives it an even greater relevance.
What does Pop Art say about you?
You probably love all kinds of television and advertising as a concept – Mad Men wasn’t so much a drama for you as a master class of technique and concept. You’re interested in trends and hitting the pulse of what’s new and interesting. You love pop culture in all its forms and love going out and seeing the newest Star Wars movie.
The most famous Pop artists are also some of the most famous artists of all time.
Everyone knows who Andy Warhol is, and likewise, Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat are also household names.
Conceptual artistic movement
What is it?
Conceptual art is the most current and thriving artistic movement of our contemporary time period. Not only this art form started in the mid 20th century but also is continuing today. Conceptual Art eschews traditional aesthetics as well as all technical and material concerns and lifts the concept above all else.
The idea of the piece is more important than the execution. However, the concept is held to the absolute highest regard. This art form is the most likely to comment on itself and the world as a whole as a prime mode of being.
What does Conceptual Art say about you?
You believe that art and artistic expression is available to everyone and you aren’t afraid to stand up and shout your opinions loud and clear. You’re probably interested in some kind of activism. You can use your art and your political life interchangeably to express yourself and your ideological goals. You love conceptualizing and imagining and you wouldn’t have it any other way.
One of the most famous pieces of conceptual art, Duchamp’s Fountain, is very quintessentially Conceptual.
Along with Duchamp, other notable artists include Damien Hirst, Robert Montgomery, and Claude Rutault.
Artistic movement speaks volumes
One of the beautiful things about art is how well it represents the concerns and struggles of human beings across time and space. From the beginning and to the very end, it will remain one of the best methods we have of finding out who we are and what we believe in. In order to fully understand your personality, it’s incredibly useful to find out what artistic movement you love the most!


Hell is an uncomfortable subject to say the least. It is not a perfect motivation for loving God either – He wants us to trust Him as a Father and return to Him, not to merely flee from the fear of eternal torment. Yet “the Church affirms the existence of hell and its eternity [for] those who die in a state of mortal… (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1035).
Some saints have had visions of hell, which they pass along as warnings to those that might think lightly of eternal rewards. St. John Bosco (also known as Don Bosco) is famous for both his dedication to the salvation of young and troubled boys and for his profound and often prophetic dreams.
In one dream, he finds himself being guided down a lovely road lined with roses. It turns out to be the road to hell. “It was beautiful, wide, and neatly paved,” he describes, “but soon I noticed that it insensibly kept sloping downward,” a symbol of how the wide road to hell captures us with its ease but then intensified “insensibly” (with subtlety) until we are gliding downward with ease. Sin gets easier the more you give in to it.
Don Bosco begins noticing boys getting tripped up in tiny web-like fibers in the road. Later we find out that it was the devil himself is pulling these strings, but what the fibers represented might surprise you. When he asks what they are, his guide answers, “A mere nothing… just plain human respect.” More traps come later that labeled pride, disobedience, lust, and so on, but all of the “serious” sins begin with that little one, “human respect.”
Why the danger? When we fully embrace who we are as sons of God, it puts us necessarily and definitely in opposition to the ways of the world. Simply put, we are called to love the world, but to live differently from it. This will mean that we for sure will lose human respect, because the world will be annoyed that we treasure different things than it does. Sin wants company, and disdains the saint. Jesus assured us of this tension, but comforts us too:
Blessed are you, when men revile you, and persecute you, and speak all manner of evil against you falsely, because of me. Be glad and light-hearted, for a rich reward awaits you in heaven; so it was they persecuted the prophets who went before you (Matthew 5:11-12, Knox).
If you begin to slowly desire human respect, and then try to get it, this means that you will begin acting in ways opposed to Gods ways. This is why it was the first trap from hell that Don Bosco encountered, because it is so often the first place we “trip up”. This explains many of our own actions, but also the actions behind the scandals in the episcopate. I cannot help but notice that Bishops often speak better to the press than to their people, messages crafted meticulously to gain respect and not bring conversion.
Brothers, remember what awaits you for following Jesus – “a rich reward”. And, along with that, remember the warning from Don Bosco’s dream of the “reward” that human respect will win you. And as you grow in Christ, the loss of human respect can even be a sign of God’s blessing. “Your lot will be a blessed one, if you are reproached for the name of Christ; it means that the virtue of God’s honour and glory and power, it means that his own Spirit, is resting upon you” (1 Peter 4:14, Knox).

St. Brigid is the female patron saint of Ireland. She was born in the middle of the 5th century during an era of great change in Irish history, the beginning of Christianity. She was actually born into a pagan community and converted to Christianity. So both her life and her legacy spanned periods of religious change.
Many of the stories and legends associated with St Brigid date to the earlier goddess Brigit/Brigantia; St. Brigid’s feast day of the 1st of February falls on the same date as the pagan Imbolc festival that marks the beginning of Spring.
Coming from a family with many Brigids (grandmother, aunt, cousins) and living and teaching in Kildare where she founded her famous monastery, it was difficult not to have an interest in this lady.
Many of the miracles attributed to St. Brigid took place around Kildare town which became an important place of pilgrimage from the Early Medieval Period. There is still a focus on pilgrimage in Kildare today. That legacy is particularly embodied within St. Brigid’s Cathedral in the heart of Kildare town and at the more newly established Brigidine Solas Bhríde Centre, located on the outskirts of the town.
And so we come to this year’s particular celebration of ‘Brigid 1500’ as we look at Brigid, the woman and her the life and legacy in a broad and rich way. The main aim of ‘Brigid 1500’ is to appeal to a diverse contemporary audience and engage them in meaningful way with the ‘Brigid’ story and heritage. It is hoped also to provide a relevant link with the past and with Brigid’s own values of faith and spirituality, biodiversity and sustainability, arts and culture, social justice, peace, hospitality and education. The ‘Brigid 1500’ programme comprises of initiatives including festivals, concerts, talks, art commissions, illuminations, pilgrimages, and craft workshops.
Brigid around the world
It was interesting for me as a child to see that Brigid was recognised around the world. There were many churches dedicated to her across “the British Isles” some of them relating to stories that she travelled there as a holy lady but others relating to the pagan goddess.
However, I only realised this year with a planned visit to New Orleans, that Brigid features in the voodoo culture of New Orleans as Maman Brigitte. Voodoo is a cross cultural religion which supposedly developed in the Caribbean around the 18th Century at the height of the slave trade. Maman Brigitte, sometimes symbolised by a black rooster, is the only goddess whose did not originate in Africa; she is probably a blend of cultures and beliefs of enslaved people from Africa and indentured servants from Ireland. She was associated closely with death and cemeteries. Like our Brigid, she was also known to be a powerful healer and a protector of women.
Great credits for this piece of poetry to Malachy Clerkin, Irish Times Sports writer, Sat Dec 24 2022 – a very humerous synopsis of World Cup punditry over the last few weeks
I’m always on the lookout for a witty piece of poetry. So I could hardly avoid this, a parody of my favourite Christmas Poem, ‘Twas the Night before Christmas by Clement Clarke Moore. Throw into the mix that it’s a play on BBC’s broadcasts of the craic and banter between Roy Keane, Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher and Micah Richardson over the World Cup: you’ll understand how I just had to have it in my blog.
Three unwise men: ‘Twas the night before Christmas…
Come on you reds: Jamie Carragher, Roy Keane and Gary Neville
‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house,
The accents were squabbling – Cork, Manc and Scouse.
There was Carragher and Neville and obviously Roy Keane,
And their dudgeon was high, and their language obscene.
“How the *%^& can you say that? You’re a right *%^&ing fool.”
Roy roared this at Gary, who rocked on his stool.
“Don’t start on me, mate,” was Neville’s retort.
“It’s not life or death here – we’re just talking sport.”
“Calm down the pair of you,” Jamie jumped in.
“Either kiss and make up now or get in the bin.”
“GO *%^& YOURSELF, CARRA,” screamed Gary and Roy,
And Jamie went quiet, a good little boy.
Here was the problem – the lads were wound up.
They’d spent the past month at the Qatar World Cup.
There’d been days in the desert and nights in the bars
And it all took its toll and they came home with scars.
There’d been talk about protests and what it all meant,
Of cash and backhanders and where it all went.
Talk about cultures, talk about gays,
Of yer man Infantino, his tedious ways.
There was also some football, conveniently for Fifa,
England won 6-2 at Stadium Khalifa.
The ITV panel was buzzing and rocking,
Until Roy nailed Iran with a single word: “Shocking.”
There were goals for Ronaldo, some his and some not.
And Messi scored seven, with four from the spot.
Giroud and Mbappé scored bagfuls for France
And Roy got annoyed at Brazilians who dance.
He was generally okay though, amused by it all,
Until England went two up on poor Senegal.
Harry Kane scored and Neville just lost it.
But Keane didn’t flinch, so cool he looked frostbit.
Everyone wondered what he wrote in his notes
While Wrighty and Gary were clearing their throats.
It was all quite straightforward, he simply wrote down:
“How much longer will I have to work with this clown?”
The weeks trundled by and England went out,
And Neymar stopped dancing, no more twist or shout.
Croatia were dogged, Morocco were fun
But when it all ended, there was only one.
It was Messi’s World Cup and he got the glory,
The best final ever, a beautiful story.
And everyone came home, exhausted and wrecked,
Ready to rest and take time to reflect.
Until Jamie popped up in the trio’s WhatsApp,
Refreshed and relaxed and just up from a nap.
He’d had the month off, not giving a fig,
No travel, no Qatar and no TV gig.
“All right lads!” he chirped as he welcomed them back.
Neither replied as they’d both hit the sack.
But Jamie persisted, he was keen as could be
To get back in studio, Sky Sports’ Big Three.
So he took out his phone and he started to type.
The boys needed lifting, they needed some hype.
“No time for lounging or World Cup fatigue,
“It’s back to the grindstone, the Premier League!”
That got a reaction – Roy said: “You what?!”
Jamie said: “You’re back on.” And Roy said: “I’m not!”
And Gary chimed in, crying: “Give us a break!
“Don’t put us together, at least for my sake.”
This could get nasty so Jamie thought quick.
“I know what I’ll do now, I’ll channel Saint Nick.”
He went back to them both with a trick up his sleeve,
And sent them an invite: his house, Christmas Eve.
They both turned up grumbling – “Why the *%^& are we here?”
“Belt up, lads,” said Carra, “Have Christmas good cheer!”
And though they were grouchy and grumpy and gruff,
They heard Jamie out, as they liked him enough.
“I know it’s been tense and I know it’s been hard.
“The World Cup was long and you went every yard.
“But life’s getting better, it’s all looking up,
“At least you weren’t stuck with the Carabao Cup.”
He fed them and schmoozed them and got them together,
But both were still close to the end of their tether.
They couldn’t believe there wasn’t a pause,
No time for festivities, no Santa Claus.
“This is bullshit,” said Roy. “It’s absolute nonsense.
“Whoever has done this has no *%^&ing conscience.
“Tell you this much for nothing – whatever occurs,
“There’s no way I’m working at Brentford v Spurs.”
That was all Jamie needed, his opening was clear
He said, “Don’t worry Roy, they’re not that severe.
“You can both have the week off, take your sweet time.
“The Boxing Day games are on Amazon Prime.”
“Stephen’s Day,” muttered Roy before letting it slide.
“No game till next Friday is doable,” he sighed.
And Gary perked up: “Let’s not let it fester.
“We’ll probably feel better come Liverpool v Leicester.”
Suddenly the trio were sitting straight up,
To hell with exhaustion, forget the World Cup.
They talked about Pep and they talked about Klopp,
They’d fully forgotten that Arsenal are top.
Now Haaland, now Salah, now Foden and Saka!
On Almiron, Mitrovic, Rashford and Xhaka!
Now financial doping and reffing mistakes,
On Glazers and oligarchs, Saudis and sheikhs.
By the time they were finished, the lads had come round.
And Gary and Roy had found common ground.
They got in a circle and made sure to hug tight.
Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
“I had the feeling that this was the one.” — Lionel Messi after winning the World Cup for the first time.
Having watched every one of the 63 matches of the 2022 World Cup tournament, I spent the evening of the final with the Naas Active Retirement Group in the 3 Arena. I did sneak a peek of the match progress during the interval and was delighted to see Argentina 2-0 up. At next check-in, 45 minutes later the score showed as 2-all – what had happened?
Extra time had just finished as we left our seats at the end of the show. Both teams had scored. We joined some other football fans to listen to the penalty shoot-out. Relief – Argentina, the obvious favourites in the 3 Arena, had won.
I read all the post-match reports today, but decided to trawl the replay channels and at least experience the excitement of the highlights. Even though I knew the result, it was till an amazing match of ups and downs where the winning team had to win three times. That’s sport. According to the media today it was one of the best finals in history.
SOME QUOTES from a TOURNAMENT of contradictions:
GROTESQUE WEALTH IS PROPPED UPON ABJECT POVERTY and COMMUNAL RIGHTS ARE VALUED MORE THAN THE INDIVIDUAL
“After the World Cup road works and construction begins again and labour is so poorly valued that the workers have no water, and maybe no pay for months at a time. This is the real Doha”.
“Death is a natural part of life, whether it is at work, whether it is in your sleep,” said Qatar’s chief executive Nasser Al-Khater, when asked about ‘Alex,’ a Filipino national who died while working at the Sealine resort, Saudi Arabia’s training base in Mesaieed.
Everyone is welcome in Qatar,” insists the World Cup Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy, “but we are a conservative country and any public display of affection, regardless of orientation, is frowned upon. We simply ask for people to respect our culture.”
Gianni Infantino’s tribute to a tournament that has netted millions for Soccer: “Today I feel Qatari. Today I feel Arab. Today I feel African. Today I feel gay. Today I feel disabled. Today I feel a migrant worker.”
On opening night Morgan Freeman asks: “Am I welcome?”
Seven European captains abandoning the One Love armband, designed to support LGBTQ+ rights, for fear of receiving a yellow card, prompted Roy Keane to comment: “The players could have done it for the first game. I think it was a big mistake by both players, they should have stuck to their guns, if that’s what you believe then go with it.”
Roy Keane’s comment about Brazilian celebrations of goals “I don’t mind the first kind of little jig – whatever they’re doing – but they’re still doing it after that, and then the manager getting involved with it.
Hassan Al Thawadi’s, Secretary General at Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy comments on human rights: “We are a relatively conservative culture. In the West the individual’s personal rights always trump, let’s say, the community rights. That’s what is most sacred. But there are other societies, the Arab world being one of them, in the Middle East, it is the communal values, which is fundamentally related to religion, that is of a higher value, of higher importance.”
FI had a very interesting October Sunday Session in Killester yesterday. Fiona Leech talked us through her journey into felt. Probably known to many of you social media users, Fiona is the face of FeltAtHomeDesigns and also Membership Secretary and Workshop Organiser for Feltmakers.
Fiona gave us an inspiring insight into her early career with lots of samples for us to touch and feel as well as notebooks where she developed ideas.
We viewed an early hand-knitted wall panel of a Henri Matisse lady – all done with scraps of wool and NO PATTERN.
Everyone fell in love with her Aardvark crochet family and will be searching for Toft amigurumi crochet patterns of the ‘many animal in the world’.
For many years, Oberammergau has been on my bucket list. I was fascinated by the many facts that I’d heard about the Passion Play held there every 10 years. Luckily the 2020 event was postponed because of Covid and I realised that for this once in a decade occasion, I could not procrastinate for too much longer.
Oberammergau is a small village located in Bavaria in Germany among the stunning Ammergau Alps. Nearly 400 years ago the history of the Passion Play began. The plague raged in many parts of Europe during 1633 and it did not spare the village of Oberammergau either. The villagers soughtvrefuge in prayernand vowed to perform the suffering, death and resurrection of Christ every tenth year. The first play took place in 1634, in the cemetery next to the parish church, supposedly on the graves of the plague victims. Seemingly there were no further deaths from the plague.
Later, in 1830, the performance space relocated to the northern edge of the village, where it still remains today but in a modern open-air theatre with amazing acoustics The villagers’ promise was kept until 2020, when the play had to be postponed for two years, this time due to another plague, the corona-pandemic.
To be considered as a performer in the Passion Play, you have to be born in the village, be married to a local for 10 or more years, or live there personally for 20 years. No exceptions to these rules are made.
Costumes are made by villagers and for accuracy and authenticity on stage, no wigs are allowed. A “Hair and Beard Decree” comes into play in March of the year of the performance so there are no trips to the barbers.
Over 2,000 locals take part every 10 years, but there are only around 124 speaking roles up for grabs. Some of the scenes include 64 vocalists and 55 instrumentalists sitting in the orchestra pit.
BUT FIRST BAVARIA
DAY 1 WEDNESDAY
After landing in Frankfurt, we travelled to Wurzburg. According to tradition, the first Bishop of Wurzburg found the remains of the Irish saint, Killian and built two churches on the spot c. 1060. These churches underwent renovation and changes over the years until the entire city of Wurzburg was destroyed on 16th March 1945. However in the years since the chey have both been restored.St Killian is held in very high esteem in this town with many of the eldest boys in a family being named after him. Wurzburg is a lovely town, particularly the Saints Bridge across the river Maine. With a small deposit on a glass, I had a ‘take away’ local wine sitting on the wall of the bridge.
We then continued to Nuremburg to stay in the lovely Novina Hotel. After a super dinner – what a selection of foods – and few scoops, I was more than ready for the bed.
DAY 2 THURSDAY
After breakfast, we went on a tour of the city of Nuremburg with Andreas, a German guide. The weather was dreadful making the cobbled streets very precarious. But we climbed to the top of the Imperial Castle and looked across the beautiful city which for centuries was regarded as the cradle of European culture, with grand residences, ancient walls and an old castle. Nuremburg was the city of Nazi rallies and the Nuremburg racial laws.
Andreas explained that the new Germany acknowledged Nuremburg’s part in the National Socialist barbarity and accepted the destruction of the city in 53 minutes on the 2nd January 1945, the death of 1800 people and the loss of 6 centuries of history as part of the consequences. Siting the Nuremburg trials in its Palace of Justice was just as much symbolic as practical: it was one of the few towns with a prison alongside a court.
Nuremburg is now restored to its former beauty. There a many tributes to Duhrer to be seen around the city – my favourite was the hare sculpture in the square where Duhrer lived and the Ship of Fools in the market square. The Nuremburg traditional gingerbread was delicious. Nuremburg is a city of fountains – the Schöner Brunnen (beautiful fountain) which was more a public well for water in the 14th-century was shaped like a Gothic spire in the main market square.
We departed Nuremburg for Altotting stopping off in Augsburg to see the famous painting of Our Lady, Untier of Knots in the church of St Peter. Pope Francis is said to have been particularly inspired by this wonderful painting and frequently prays to Our Lady to undo the knots of life.
The Hotel Plankl in Altotting was our destination. After dinner a few of us explored the town, found a lovely bar and shared (a few) bottles of wine.
DAY 3 FRIDAY
We spent the morning exploring Altotting. Since the 9th Century the Black Madonna has been one of the most famous pilgrimage destinations in Central Europe. Pope Benedict who was reared near here often stayed here – also in Hotel Plankl.
In the afternoon, we travelled out to Markt Marktl where Benedict was born. We all remarked at how big his house was, but the guide informed us that the building housed the Police Station (his father was a police officer), a customs post (Austria is only a few miles away) and accommodation for the police and custom officers as well as Benedict’s home.
DAY 4 SATURDAY
After an early breakfast, we set off for Garmisch-Partenkirchen. This German ski resort in Bavaria was formed when 2 towns united in 1935 for the Winter Olympics, often called the Nazi Olympics.
Our destination, the Riessersee Hotel was fabulous and being allocated a suite overlooking the lake was the icing on the cake. My balcony afforded a unique view down into the valley although there was little chance to enjoy it before being whisked off to Oberammergau. The shortening days of September moved the performance start time to 1.30.
Oberammergau was stunning. Most of the houses have colourful murals or Luftmalerei, the older ones illustrating martyrs, passion scenes and famous citizens and events. More recent illustrations are of nursery rhyme and fairytale characters. The Hansel and Gretl house is magnificent. The shops along the route to the theatre have wonderful displays of wooden ornaments and Christmas decorations, sometimes the woodworker is actually carving outside the door.
Men and women were separated into different queues, probably because the women generally have handbags and the search might cause delays. The banter between the spectators was lively as we shared stories of our journeys here.
Inside we were directed to really good seats; the view of the mountains behind the stage was awesome. The play revolved around the mystery of the Psssion of Jesus in both a dramatic as well as a meditative way. Between scenes, moments of the Old Testament were depicted as ‘living pictures’. The scale of the production with 2.000 actors and live animals, up to 400 on the stage at one time, was unbelievable. The score was haunting and the acoustics of the theatre allowed it to reverberate right through the audience.
The play was in German, meaning that the dialogue didn’t distract from the action. A copy of the script in English was made available but I decided it would be better read after the play. The play was approximately five and half hours long, performed in two acts with dinner served in the village during the intermission. While not a culinary delight, there was a selection of Bavarian and international food. We had a little time for shopping before returning to the theatre.
DAY 5 SUNDAY
A quick trip back to Oberammergau this morning for some shopping and outdoor Mass (in the pelting rain) before onward journey to Munich. The city centre roads were all blocked off in Munch for a music festival. So we got a festival and a quick run around Munich and then off to airport.
The holiday/pilgrimage met all expectations and I certainly wouldn’t rule out a 2030 trip to Oberammergau. It wasn’t oppressively “holy” but it gave opportunity for contemplation and questioning.

In my previous post I declared that “Nobody does pomp like the British!”
And the Platinum Jubilee weekend was certainly no exception. Even a non-royalist would have to be impressed with the splendour and magic.
On 6th February 2022 Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth became the first British Monarch to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee, marking 70 years of service to the people of the United Kingdom, the Realms and the Commonwealth. I think she won many hearts in Ireland during her visit in 2011, with her words (a few as Gaeilge), her interactions (remember the English Market in Cork) and her respectful silences (the Garden of Remembrance).
Now she has reached her platinum jubilee. A range of events and initiatives were planned with the culmination being this four day UK June bank holiday.
The four days of celebrations included public events and community activities, as well as national moments of reflection on The Queen’s 70 years of service.
Thursday 2nd June
Trooping the Colour is an annual event that marks the official birthday of the British Sovereign. It has been happening for over 260 years but this year will be spectacular. The Queen’s Birthday Parade this year saw the colour trooped by the 1st Battalion, Irish Guards, and more than 1200 officers and soldiers from the Household Division putting on a display of military pageantry on Horse Guards Parade, together with hundreds of Army musicians and around 240 horses. During the birthday parade a Royal gun salute was fired.
Once the parade ended and the Royal Procession returned to Buckingham Palace for the Royal Family’s balcony appearance.
There was an impressive Flypast to coincide with the Royal Family’s balcony appearance and the younger royals stole the show with their excited reactions.
Platinum Jubilee Beacons: The United Kingdom’s long tradition of celebrating Royal Jubilees, Weddings and Coronations with the lighting of beacons was of course bigger and bolder for this Platinum Jubilee.
A beacon chain, once used as a tool for communication, has now become a symbol of unity across towns, borders, countries and continents and is often the central point of focus for any outdoor gathering or celebration. In 1897, beacons were lit to celebrate Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee. In 1977, 2002 and 2012, beacons commemorated the Silver, Golden and Diamond Jubilees of The Queen, and in 2016 Her Majesty’s 90th birthday. Over 1,500 beacons were lit throughout the United Kingdom, Channel Islands, Isle of Man and UK Overseas Territories.
The Principal beacon, involving The Tree of Trees (a 21m high ‘tree’ constructed of 350 smaller trees), was lit by the Queen in a special ceremony at Buckingham Palace.
Friday 3rd June
The entire royal family attended a Service of Thanksgiving for The Queen’s reign in St Paul’s Cathedral. Unfortunately, the Queen herself was unable to attend. Harry and Meghan made their first public appearance since they absconded to USA, to quite a varied response. Great Paul, the largest church bell in the country, was rung for the Service. It was made in 1882, but fell silent in the 1970s due to a broken mechanism. It was restored in 2021 and has been rung on 8 occasions since.
Saturday 4th June
The Derby at Epsom Downs: This was probably one of her Her Majesty’s favourite events and usually she would have a horse running. Not this year. Again this was another event she could not attend.
The Platinum Party at the Palace in the evening saw famous faces from the world of entertainment brought together to perform for a night of musical tributes to celebrate the Jubilee. An array of Royals, young and old attended.
The Big Jubilee Lunch: Over 60k people registered to host lunches, with events ranging from world record attempts for the longest street party to back garden BBQ’s and everything in between. Over ten million people across the UK joined the celebrations.
The Platinum Jubilee Pageant: The Gold State Carriage, guided by The Sovereign’s Escort, led the Platinum Jubilee Pageant. The pageant embraced the latest in digital technology to evoke the excitement and majesty of her journey to be crowned 70 years ago.
The Pageant brought to life iconic moments from The Queen’s reign as well as showcasing the changing society over the past 70 years.
National treasures and iconic figures from music, film, sport and the arts sent their good wishes to the Queen.
No I’m not a royalist, but I love the pageantry and grandeur and drama attached to royalty!!!!
Nobody does pomp like the British! Be it a royal wedding, a state funeral or an anniversary they know just how to roll out the celebrations.
They even have a Poet Laureate who may or may not commemorate the occasion poetically!
William Wordsworth became Laureate in later life and exercised the poet laureate’s prerogative and wrote not a single line of official verse.
Poet Laureate, Andrew Motion’s poems, one a rap and the other a sonnet to celebrate Prince William’s 21st birthday was called On The Record. The rap was the A side, the sonnet the B side reflecting vinyl LP and 45s records.
From the A side: Better stand back Here’s an age attack, But the second in line Is dealing with it fine.
From the B side: That’s what our ‘happy birthday’ means today: A wish that you’ll be free to claim your life While destiny connects with who you are – A Prince and yet familiar common clay; Your father’s heir but true to your own faith; A mother’s son and silvered by her star.
John Betjeman was Laureate when Princess Anne got married and his poem was like a hymn of praise:
“Hundreds of birds in the air/ and millions of leaves on the pavement”.
It was always thought to be a good idea to have the poet Laureate on your side or quite uncomplimentary or nondescript verse could be written. In 1901 Alfred Austin reported “Across the wires the electric message came: He is no better, he is much the same”
when the Prince of Wales, future Edward VII fell ill in 1901.
Simon Armitage, the current Poet Laureate, claims to address current affairs in his role. His tribute to the Queen on her platinum jubilee is called Queenhood.

By Bruce Chadwick
"Highly recommended–a gripping narrative of the serious 12 months of 1858 and the nation's slide towards disunion and battle. Chadwick is mainly adept at retelling the serious feelings of this severe time, rather in particular in recounting abolitionist competition to the Fugitive Slave Act and Jefferson Davis's passionate protection of this establishment. For readers trying to know the way everyone is brokers of old swap will locate Chadwick's account of the failed management of President James Buchanan, particularly compelling."

I like that there are no inside the pan protrusions that would gather and hold whatever you are cooking. The handle connections do not insert themselves into the cooking area. That is good.

Players accord organization?

The accord system is at best a pipe dream. All it is doing is masking the true inadequacies of this game. Rather than come up with accords, as a community, influence the devs to take positive actions for PVP related changes. Use the PVP Training club as a basis to influence positive change.
Create an environment whereby the devs feel safe to log on to vent / TS and discuss in a civilised manner what changes can make the biggest difference in a positive manner.
I admit I sometimes was counter productive, but I always want the best for the game even though I have gone AWOL.
Only takes 1 to ruin it and a major forum battle will occur. Not worth the battle
