    PREPARING FOR THE THIRD AGE OF LIFE The following information is offered for the general consideration and use of archdioceses and dioceses interested in enhancing the information provided to their priests as they contemplate and prepare for retirement. Each section of this Manual must be carefully reviewed and then, as needed, altered to reflect the policies and procedures that guide each archdioceses’ or dioceses’ pension plan and related retirement benefit programs available to qualifying priests. Prior to releasing or using a Manual intended to reflect an archdioceses’ or dioceses’ own pension plan and related retirement benefit programs, it is strongly recommended that the advice and guidance of a qualified financial and retirement benefits advisor familiar with the U.S. Catholic Church be sought. I. INTRODUCTION "Grow old along with me! The best is yet to be, the last of life, for which the first was made..." (Robert Browning) Ready or not, sometime after the age of 70, most workers leave the job they planned for and pursued for a great portion of their lives. Although retirement is viewed by each person as an individual experience, it is actually a part of living in which all persons, in some way, share common problems and pleasures. This pre-retirement manual has been prepared to help priests of the Diocese of ____________ plan and get ready for the "third age" years so they can live them in a fulfilling and joyous way. LSRP ● P.O. Box 1019, Bonita Springs, FL 34133 ● www.LSRPinc.org 1 | P a g e Every priest is st r o ng l y encouraged to make appropriate long-range plans for when he resigns from the ecclesiastical office, commonly referred to as "retirement." These plans should include at what age he prefers to offer his resignation, where he wishes to reside, how he wishes to continue to exercise his priestly ministry, and other practical matters (e.g., health, finances, etc.).

  • Katie Noonan, 2019 Extended
    Katie Noonan, 2019 Extended bio: Over the past 20 years, five-time ARIA award-winning artist Katie Noonan has proven herself one of Australia’s most hardworking, versatile and prolific artists. Named one of the greatest Australian singers of all time by the Herald Sun, Katie has produced 20 albums throughout her career, with seven times platinum record sales under her belt and 25 ARIA award nominations that span diverse genres. Katie first came into the nation’s view in 2002 while fronting indie rock band george – their debut album, the two-times platinum Polyserena, rolled in at number one in the ARIA charts. They ultimately won the ARIA award for Breakthrough Artist that same year. Since then, Katie has performed by invitation for members of the Danish and British Royal families, and His Holiness the 13th Dalai Lama. She was an inaugural recipient of the prestigious Sidney Myer Creative Fellowship in 2011, an honour awarded to candidates that display outstanding talent and exceptional courage. In 2018, Katie took on the Commonwealth Games Opening and Closing ceremonies as Music Director, performing to more than a billion viewers worldwide. Katie is a rare songwriter; equally at home leading a symphony orchestra as she is performing in a small jazz club, she has the ability to flourish in any genre – whether that’s in gentle folk storytelling or in the grandiosity of an operatic performance. Katie has also collaborated with Australian electronic producers Flight Facilities on their acclaimed 2014 record Down To Earth, and in 2016 she joined Perth hip-hop artist Drapht on his track Raindrops.

  • Crossing Cultural Borders – a Journey Towards Understanding and Celebration in Aboriginal Australian and Non-Aboriginal Australian Contexts
    Science and Mathematics Education Centre Crossing Cultural Borders – A Journey Towards Understanding and Celebration in Aboriginal Australian and Non-Aboriginal Australian Contexts Marianne McLaughlin This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Curtin University June 2012 Declaration Page This thesis contains no material which has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma in any university. To the best of my knowledge and belief, this thesis contains no material previously published by any person except where due acknowledgement has been made. ii Abstract Aboriginal students will often approach their teacher with the biggest and most beautiful smile. That smile, if it could be verbalised, asks the teacher to ‘learn me’. Non-Aboriginal teachers may find that crossing cultural borders, between their own worldview and that of the Aboriginal students’ can be a challenging and frightening experience, so much so that they may not see the open smile and desire to learn from the Aboriginal student. I have been fortunate to have experienced crossing multiple cultural borders with Aboriginal people using an Aboriginal form of the Third Space (Bhabar, 1994) based on the lived experience of Scott Fatnowna who is the creator of this teaching and learning model. This model is designed to cause positive change between Aboriginal Australians and non-Aboriginal Australians through understanding each other’s worldview by working and learning together with equal power and cross cultural dialogue. The model also resonates with the Ganma metaphor (Yolgnu people from the Northern Territory). This study investigates, through an autoethnographic narrative and participant interviews, what ‘learn me’ may mean for teachers with Aboriginal students in the classroom.

  • ASCAP/BMI Comment
    Stuart Rosen Senior Vice President General Counsel November 20, 2015 Chief, Litigation III Section Antitrust Division U.S. Department of Justice 450 5th Street NW, Suite 4000 Washington, DC 20001 Re: Justice Department Review of the BMI and ASCAP Consent Decrees To the Chief of the Litigation III Section: BMI recently alerted its community of affiliated songwriters, composers and publishers to the profound impact 100% licensing would have on their careers, both creatively and financially, if it were to be mandated by the U.S. Department of Justice. In a call to action, BMI provided a letter, one for songwriters and one for publishers, to which their signatures could be added. The response was overwhelming. BMI received nearly 13,000 signatures from writers, composers and publishers of all genres of music, at all levels in their careers. Some of the industry's most well- known songwriters added their names, including Stephen Stills, Cynthia Weil, Steve Cropper, Ester Dean, Dean Pitchford, Congressman John Hall, Trini Lopez, John Cafferty, Gunnar Nelson, Lori McKenna, Shannon Rubicam and Don Brewer, among many others. Enclosed you will find the letters, with signatures attached. On behalf of BMI, I strongly urge you to consider the voices of thousands of songwriters and copyright owners reflected here before making a decision that will adversely affect both the creators, and the ongoing creation of, one ofAmerica's most important cultural and economic resources. Vert truly yours, Stuart Rosen 7 World Trade Center, 250 Greenwich Street, New York, NY 10007-0030 (212) 220-3153 Fax: (212) 220-4482 E-Mail: [email protected] ® A Registered Trademark of Broadcast Music, Inc.
