St. Paul, the strict pharisee who eventually PASTOR’S THOUGHTS… met Jesus on that fateful day on the road to Damascus, could reflect and compare his past and present life, the “old” and the “new” man, life under the law and life under the Spirit. Only the latter brought Paul life and happiness. True Healing The healed leper [in St. Luke’s gospel] did not continue on his way [after being healed]. The most important thing for him now is to return to the one who gave him back his life. This is what real faith is all about. It is not merely doing what one is expected to do by law. It is a desire to encounter Jesus acknowledging that Fr. Mario Micallef, MSSP, is pastor of St. Paul the Apostle, what is good comes from Him. This encounter with Toronto, the only Maltese national parish in North America. These “Pastor’s thoughts…” are extracts from his Jesus becomes more important than anything else. No commentaries on the Sunday readings which are published wonder that, in the end, Jesus tells him that now he can in the Parish’s Sunday Bulletin. go on his way: “Your faith has made you well.” True healing is not just the healing of bodily illness. It Do Rich People Go to Heaven? is a constant return to Jesus, an acknowledgement that only He can give us the fullness of life that we all desire. I heard someone ask this question once, apparently sparked by the importance the gospel seems to give to Prayer Is My Relationship with God the poor. Before going any further, it’s important to remind ourselves from the beginning that nobody, ….When we talk about prayer we are not merely absolutely nobody, is denied the possibility to go to referring to the formal prayers which we learn by heart. heaven.

    MEDIA RELEASE Issued: 24 March 2011 Joint Standing Committee on Migration Chair: Ms Vamvakinou MP Deputy Chair: Mrs Louise Markus MP Inquiry into Multiculturalism in Australia The Parliament’s Migration Committee will hold its first public hearing into multiculturalism and the contribution of migration to Australia on Tuesday, 29 March 2011 at the Centre for Dialogue, La Trobe University, Melbourne. The program will run from 9.30 am to 4.30 pm. Among the witnesses will be the Ethnic Communities Council (Victoria), the Islamic Womens’ Welfare Council of Victoria, the Brotherhood of St Laurence, Africa Think Tank, the Greek Orthodox Community (Melbourne and Victoria) and the National Ethnic Disability Alliance. Professor Joseph Camilleri, Director of the Centre for Dialogue, will also appear. Ms Vamvakinou MP, Chair of the Committee said, “Migration into Australia has made Australian society diverse, culturally rich and forward looking. There are many positive strategies in place and success stories to be told. However, we need to keep in touch with the changing needs of both new and established migrant communities. Flexible settlement policies are the key to successful integration and, as needs change over time, so too must government and community services adapt to cater to changing conditions,” she said. “These organisations bring valuable expertise to the current debate on multiculturalism. They work directly with new migrants, including refugees, and established communities and understand the challenge of building a cohesive, integrated community”, Ms Vamvakinou said. The hearing will be held at the Centre for Dialogue, Boardroom, Level 3 Science Building, La Trobe University, Bundoora Campus, Melbourne.

    Hiram Walker & Sons

    Hiram Walker & Sons Hiram Walker & Sons is Ontario’s sole “grain-to-glass” distillery. The company produces Vodka, Rum and Canadian Whisky.

Other Locations Corporate Headquarters - Toronto The Hiram Walker & Sons Limited (Hiram Walker) facility sprawls along the bank of the Detroit River in Windsor, Ontario. From this site, the company has produced Canadian whisky for over 150 years, growing to become North America’s largest beverage distillery. Hiram Walker is the only “grain to glass” manufacturer in Ontario. The company’s history can be traced back to 1857, when Hiram Walker, an American entrepreneur, opened a distilling plant in Windsor. Walker first started his business as a grain merchant. Millers and farmers brought their grains to him to mill, and paid for the service with a percentage of those grains. With this extensive access to grain, Walker was able to convert the excess into alcohol and store the product in wooden barrels. When the barrels were opened two years later, Walker found the flavour had changed significantly. He decided to experiment with the aging process to create a consistent product, and Hiram Walker & Sons was incorporated. Over time, Walker’s vision shaped the distillery industry in Canada, and even led to the development of a model town in Windsor for the company’s employees (Walkerville). With its reputation for quality and consistent flavour, Hiram Walker whisky began to be sold in the U.S.

    2/10/2021 East Asia Forum Australia’s Defence Strategic Update: when all you have is a hammer | East Asia Forum - East Asia Forum - https://www.eastasiaforum.org - Australia’s Defence Strategic Update: when all you have is a hammer Posted By Melissa Conley Tyler On 19 July 2020 @ 10:00 am In Australia,diplomacy,International Relations,Military,Regional Architecture,Security | No Comments Author: Melissa Conley Tyler, University of Melbourne The old saying ‘when all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail’ comes to mind upon the release of Australia’s 2020 Defence Strategic Update on 1 July. The biggest issue is not so much what’s in the Update, but the way it continues the tendency to view international issues through a security lens. To avoid a militarisation of Australia’s international relations, Canberra needs to balance defence, diplomacy and development approaches. The Update was commissioned last year [1] recognising that the world has changed more quickly than expected in the 2016 Defence White Paper. The Update is uncontroversial in outlining Australia’s deteriorating strategic environment [2], including increased strategic competition, technological change and aggressive grey-zone tactics. What’s more surprising, given these threats, is that in many ways it charts a course of business as usual. For example, almost all the extra funding is an extrapolation of 2016 forecasts [3] a further four years to provide funding certainty [2]. Hugh White describes the Update as making only marginal changes to existing force development plans [4]. One of the most significant changes is setting three strategic objectives for Defence that are not defined in geographic terms [5]: to shape Australia’s strategic environment, to deter actions against https://www.eastasiaforum.org/2020/07/19/australias-defence-strategic-update-when-all-you-have-is-a-hammer/print/ 1/5 2/10/2021 East Asia Forum Australia’s Defence Strategic Update: when all you have is a hammer | East Asia Forum Australia’s interests and to respond with credible military force, when required.

Some Lessons for Today p. 37 2 Introduction Our starting point is that the struggle for socialism and communism are part of a worldwide revolutionary process that develops in an uneven manner. Revolutions are fought and new socialist states are established country by country. These states must defend themselves; socialist countries have had to devote significant resources to defending themselves from political isolation, economic strangulation and military attack. And they must stay on the socialist road by reinvigorating the revolutionary process and unleashing the political initiative of the masses of working people in all areas of society.1 However, socialist countries cannot be seen as ends in and of themselves. They are not secure as long as imperialism and capitalism exist anywhere in the world.

It attempts to illuminate the inextricable linkages between China's domestic politics and her external behaviour. The analysis pays special attention to China's relationship with the superpowers--the United States and the Soviet Union. In addition China's Third World policy is assessed in the light of the salient transformations _in her overall global policy~ While the various factors impacting on China's foreign_policy processes in the decade under study are discussed in this thesis) it is my submission that the phenomenal changes in Chinese foreign policy arose logically from the parallel transformations in China's domestic politics after the Cultural Revolution. iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS It is my pleasure to acknowledge the contribution of many people to the successful completion of this work. Special thanks go to my supervisor, Professor Klaus Pringsheim, for his unswerving encouragement and consistent support throughout the writing of the thesis.
