Heavy rain and powerful winds brought on by Typhoon Maysak continued to batter large parts of China on Tuesday as a super typhoon, Bavi, moved toward southeastern China and is expected to make landfall over the weekend, prompting authorities to upgrade alerts and dispatch emergency aid.周二，台风美莎克带来的强降雨与大风持续侵袭我国大片区域；与此同时，超强台风巴威正向我国东南沿海移动，预计周末登陆，各地政府随即提升预警等级、调拨应急救援物资。Meteorologists said on Tuesday morning that Maysak, which made landfall in the southern island province of Hainan on Friday, would continue to sweep across large parts of southern and eastern China, with rainfall of up to 260 millimeters forecast in parts of the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region.气象专家周二上午表示，上周五登陆海南的台风美莎克将继续横扫我国华南、华东多地，广西壮族自治区局部地区预计降雨量最高可达260毫米。The heavy rainfall in Guangxi — where four flood-related deaths were reported as of Tuesday morning — is expected to weaken on Wednesday.截至周二上午，广西已有四人因洪涝遇难，当地强降雨预计周三逐步减弱。"Thunderstorms and strong winds reaching force 10 are also forecast in parts of Anhui and Jiangsu provinces, with gusts of up to force 13 and the possibility of tornadoes," the National Meteorological Center said as it renewed an orange alert for heavy rain and a yellow alert for severe convective weather on Tuesday morning.国家气象中心周二上午持续发布暴雨橙色预警、强对流天气黄色预警：安徽、江苏部分地区将出现雷暴与10级大风，阵风可达13级，局部或有龙卷风。China is also bracing for the approach of Super Typhoon Bavi, which has a maximum sustained wind speed of 55 meters per second near its center. The storm is expected to reach the waters off southeastern China around Friday before making landfall in the coastal areas of Zhejiang and Fujian provinces over the weekend, bringing heavy rainfall to large parts of eastern, central and northern China.我国同时严阵以待超强台风巴威，其中心附近最大持续风速达55米每秒。该台风预计周五前后抵达我国东南近海，周末登陆浙闽沿海，将给华东、华中、华北大范围地区带去强降雨。The Ministry of Water Resources said that between Monday and Tuesday afternoon, water levels in 62 rivers across the country had exceeded warning levels, with most of the affected rivers located in southern China.水利部通报，周一至周二下午，全国62条河流水位超警戒，受灾河流多集中在华南地区。On Monday, the ministry upgraded Guangxi's flood-control emergency response from Level III to Level II, the second highest in China's four-tier system.周一，水利部将广西防汛应急响应由三级提升至二级，二级为我国四级应急体系中的第二高等级。The Ministry of Emergency Management, on the same day, raised the national geological disaster emergency response for Guangxi from Level IV to Level III.同日，应急管理部将广西地质灾害国家应急响应由四级提升至三级。The National Development and Reform Commission said on Monday that it had allocated 100 million yuan ($13.8 million) to support post-disaster recovery in the region. The funds are geared toward the restoration of damaged transportation and water infrastructure, as well as public service facilities, including schools and hospitals.国家发改委周一表示，已拨付1亿元专项资金用于当地灾后重建，资金将用于修复损毁交通、水利设施，以及学校、医院等公共服务配套。Meanwhile, the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Emergency Management allocated 160 million yuan to support flood relief and geological disaster response efforts in Guangxi and the provinces of Hunan, Liaoning, Jilin, Anhui and Shandong.与此同时，财政部、应急管理部下达1.6亿元资金，用于广西、湖南、辽宁、吉林、安徽、山东等地防汛救灾与地质灾害防治工作。Central government authorities have also dispatched 150,000 relief items, including tents, folding beds, quilts, summer clothing and family emergency kits, to support the evacuation, relocation and basic living needs of affected residents.中央有关部门调拨15万件救灾物资，含帐篷、折叠床、被褥、夏装、家庭应急包等，保障受灾群众转移安置与基本生活所需。The Red Cross Society of China said on Tuesday that it plans to dispatch 5,000 emergency family kits containing daily necessities to aid displaced households in Hengzhou, Guangxi.中国红十字会周二表示，计划调拨5000份内含生活用品的家庭应急包，支援广西横州市受灾转移群众。batter /ˈbætə(r)/连续猛击；重创meteorologist /ˌmiːtiəˈrɒlədʒɪst/气象学家gust /ɡʌst/一阵狂风，阵风allocate /ˈæləkeɪt/划拨，分配（资金、物资）infrastructure /ˈɪnfrəstrʌktʃə(r)/基础设施evacuation /ɪˌvækjuˈeɪʃn/疏散，撤离

China heightened emergency response efforts in the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region on Monday after Typhoon Maysak triggered severe flooding, causing multiple reservoirs to overflow or breach as persistent heavy rainfall was forecast through Tuesday in some areas.台风美莎克引发严重洪涝，多地水库漫坝、溃坝，且部分地区预计周二前持续强降雨，广西壮族自治区于周一提升应急响应等级。Authorities in Nanning, the regional capital, raised the city's flood-control emergency response from Level III to Level I, the highest level, after Liulan and Yunbiao reservoirs in Hengzhou, a county-level city under Nanning, experienced overtopping and dam breaches on Monday morning. The Liuwang Reservoir in neighboring Binyang county also overflowed, according to the Nanning Emergency Management Committee.省会南宁市应急管理局通报，周一上午，代管县级市横州市六兰水库、云表水库发生漫坝、溃坝险情，相邻宾阳县六旺水库也出现漫溢，南宁市防汛应急响应随即由三级提升至最高一级。Local authorities organized the evacuation of residents in affected areas and dispatched teams to reinforce reservoirs and assess damage.当地政府组织受灾群众转移避险，派遣队伍赶赴水库加固堤坝、开展灾情核查工作。Lei Shuiping, who lives about a kilometer downstream from the Liulan Reservoir, said she received a government alert on Sunday evening advising residents to move to higher ground and prepare daily necessities. By Monday morning, floodwater had submerged the first floor of her home.家住六兰水库下游约一公里处的雷水平表示，周日晚间她收到政府预警通知，提示居民转移至高处并备好生活物资。周一一早，洪水已经淹没她家一楼。"We have sufficient daily supplies, so we're not too worried," she said, adding that electricity remained cut off and residents were informed that power would be restored on Tuesday.她说：“生活物资储备充足，我们并不十分担心。目前电力仍处于中断状态，官方通知称周二恢复供电。”The storm brought torrential rain to central and southern Guangxi between Saturday and Monday morning, pushing water levels in 53 rivers above warning thresholds, according to the Ministry of Water Resources.水利部消息，周六至周一上午，该台风给广西中南部带来特大暴雨，境内 53 条河流水位超警戒。Although Maysak has weakened into a tropical depression, the China Meteorological Administration said its lingering circulation, combined with the southwest monsoon, will continue to bring heavy rainfall to parts of southern and eastern China through Tuesday before gradually weakening.中央气象台表示，尽管美莎克已减弱为热带低压，但其残余环流叠加西南季风水汽输送，周二前仍将持续给我国华南、华东部分地区带来强降雨，之后降雨强度才会逐步减弱。In light of increasing flood risks, the State Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters raised its emergency response for Guangxi from Level III to Level II on Monday. The Ministry of Emergency Management dispatched a national working group to the region and deployed two Wing Loong unmanned aerial vehicles to support rescue operations and restore emergency communications in affected areas.鉴于防汛风险持续攀升，国家防汛抗旱总指挥部周一将广西防汛应急响应提升至二级。应急管理部派出国家级工作组赴桂，并调派两架翼龙无人机驰援灾区救援、抢修应急通信。The central government has also allocated 100 million yuan ($14.7 million) to support emergency recovery efforts in the region. The funding will be used to restore damaged roads, water conservancy facilities, schools, hospitals and other public infrastructure as quickly as possible.中央财政紧急拨付 1 亿元救灾资金，用于快速抢修受损道路、水利设施、学校、医院等各类公共基础设施，开展灾后应急恢复工作。Rescue forces continued to arrive in disaster-hit areas. China Anneng Construction Group mobilized 350 professional rescuers, including hydrological and geological experts, along with 130 sets of specialized equipment for communications, road clearance and drainage operations.多支救援力量持续奔赴灾区。中国安能集团调集 350 名专业救援人员，包含水文、地质专家，配套 130 台套通信、清障、排涝专用设备。The Ministry of Emergency Management also deployed 1,372 firefighters with 270 vehicles and 140 boats, while the People's Armed Police Force and other rescue teams continued evacuating residents and delivering relief supplies to affected communities.应急管理部调派 1372 名消防救援人员、270 台救援车辆、140 艘救援舟艇；武警部队及各类救援队伍不间断转移群众，向受灾村镇运送救灾物资。Meteorologists warned that flood risks were unlikely to ease immediately despite Maysak weakening into a tropical depression, as its lingering circulation continued to fuel heavy rainfall.气象专家提醒，虽然美莎克减弱为热带低压，但残余环流持续制造强降雨，洪涝风险不会快速消退。Ye Menglong, a meteorological expert, said the storm weakened only gradually after making landfall while maintaining a relatively intact circulation. Combined with continuous moisture transport from the southwest monsoon, the system has produced widespread, persistent and intense rainfall across parts of South China, with several areas in Guangxi recording their highest daily rainfall on record for July.气象专家叶梦龙介绍，台风登陆后缓慢减弱，环流结构保存完整，叠加西南季风持续输送水汽，致使华南多地出现大范围持续性强降雨，广西多个站点七月单日降雨量突破历史极值。reservoir /ˈrezəvwɑː(r)/n. 水库；蓄水池evacuation /ɪˌvækjuˈeɪʃn/n. 疏散，转移避险torrential /təˈrenʃl/adj. 猛烈的；倾泻的infrastructure /ˈɪnfrəstrʌktʃə(r)/n. 基础设施

In this episode, host George Thomas sits down with PSIA National Alpine Team member Katie White to bridge the gap between daily client lessons and the high-pressure environment of a teaching assessment. Katie breaks down how to manage the shortened 20-minute "assessment clock" by killing the "canned progression" and moving toward an adaptable, "spiderweb" approach to coaching. This conversation is a must-listen for any instructor looking to elevate their professional game. You'll learn how to master D.I.R.T. (Duration, Intensity, Rate, and Timing) in a short window, provide specific feedback that proves technical ownership, and manage risk beyond just a verbal safety check. Whether you are prepping for your Level II or Level III, Katie's insights will help you trade exam anxiety for the technical clarity needed to pass with confidence.

Chris Burris is a Senior Lead IFS Trainer and a clinical consultant with decades of experience in mental health and group work. Chris is based in North Carolina and leads training for the IFS Institute and his Creating Healing Circles work worldwide.Last month, Chris joined Jef Szi for an in-depth conversation that illuminates the power, purpose, and benefits of healing with others. Along the way, we get to know the variety of influences and the backstory to Chris's group work, including a need to help his clients have real spaces to work on their social challenges, and Chris's interest in finding new models of authenticity that don't require being hijacked by reactive emotions.You can learn more about his work through his terrific how-to book, Creating Healing Circles.With tremendous kindness and boatloads of reference points, Chris helps us understand why healing circles are an essential tool for healing from traumas and for offsetting the hyper-individualism found in most personal-growth work.Chris teaches us that most traumas arise in relationships and are also healed through supportive, non-threatening contexts where participants can experience others as advocates and allies. He also shows us that well-run Healing Circles can allow participants to test new ways of being that are more cohesive and less isolating.Throughout Healing with Others, Chris offers his grounded perspectives; whether it's on the Internal Family Systems model, the pros and cons of Men's work in the 1980's and 1990's, or how nature is another kind of healing force, we are well instructed by Chris and his extensive knowledge on group work and the healing process.Perhaps the heart of Chris's teaching is the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model. In this conversation, he breaks down the model, showing how IFS is a constraint-and-release model whose core notion of an innate Self is characterized by calmness, curiosity, and compassion, and how the various "parts" play a role in protecting the Self. We also learn from Chris and kind way of thinking about our parts, and how these protective and often reactive voices within us frequently eclipse our core energy, leading us to relate to ourselves and others in harsh or critical ways.With Chris, we take another step forward in imagining what it takes to be more cohesive as a society. In this case, the path forward is to challenge our assumptions about the do-it-alone approach. Instead, we are encouraged towards the chance to be with others, dropping in deeply, where trauma and social connections can be transformed as a community. Few are better positioned to show what this path looks like than the heart-centered and wise Chris Burris.Thank you for being on the show, Chris!About Chris Burris: Chris is a Clinical Consultant and Senior Lead Trainer for the Center for Self Leadership. Chris has been a psychotherapist since 1989, working with diverse populations in community agencies, intensive residential centers, institutions of higher learning, and in private practice.He began training in the Internal Family Systems model in 1999 and is currently a Senior Lead Trainer for the Internal Family Systems Institute, where he teaches Level 1, Level II, and Level III trainings and serves as a trainer and mentor for new IFS training staff.Resources:

In the final episode of the Finding Our Why mini-series, PSIA-AASI's Nathan Chapple reflects on two decades in snowsports instruction—starting as a 15-year-old junior instructor in the Pacific Northwest and growing into an Intermountain examiner who measures success by the lives he touches. Nathan shares how teaching gave a shy kid a consistent forum to practice communication, how certification structure sharpened his craft, and why a student-centered approach (and today's People Skills emphasis) creates better teachers—and better guest experiences. Nathan also opens up about scaling impact by training instructors, the season he nearly lost his spark, and how changing environments (hello, Snowbird) helped him rediscover joy. His advice for anyone on the fence about Level II or Level III is pure gold: control what you can, avoid outcome-only goals, and treat this as a game to play—not a game to win. It's a grounded, generous conversation that brings our series home: purpose isn't a pin or a title—it's the way we show up for guests, peers, and the broader mountain community.

In this episode, Fred interviews Jennifer Hall - Disciples of Christ Worship Leader, Music Educator & Reiki Master. Learn more at: https://www.reflectyourlight.com/ Meet Jennifer Hall: Hi! My name is Jennifer. I have been an elementary music teacher in the Kansas City, Kansas Public School District for 24 years. I was honored in 2019 by my school district to be chosen as the elementary teacher of the year. I have dedicated my entire career to bringing the joy of music to inner-city children and found a lot of fulfillment and life-purpose through the blessings of that job. In 2017, I was attuned to Reiki by my sister, Mary Bolan, who is a Disciples of Christ Christian Church Minister and a Reiki Master. During my Level II attunement, I had the most spiritual experience of my life during which I knew that offering Reiki Healing to others is my true calling. I made it my goal to perform 100 free reiki healing sessions so that I could truly hone my skills as I learned. I asked my “guinea pigs” to give me feedback as I developed my own style. After I felt confident in my abilities, friends and family started sending me referrals and I continued to offer healing through word-of-mouth (no website, business name etc.) only. In the fall of 2020, I started hearing the Holy Spirit speak to me that it was time to devote more time to my healing business so I quit teaching full-time and now teach Elementary Strings (violins, violas and cellos) 3 days a week and see clients two days a week plus occasional evenings and weekends. In 2014, I had treatment for Ovarian Cancer and used Integrative as well as Traditional Medicine to help me fully heal from that often-deadly cancer. At the time, I didn't know about Reiki but I received massage, acupuncture, BodyTalk, chiropractic adjustments and worked with an Integrative Medicine M.D. who gave me Vitamin C infusions as well as nutritional and energetic supports. Many, many people prayed for me and supported me through that season. I learned a lot about worthiness, intentions, affirmations and faith. I am grateful that we have many healing modalities available to us today. This is a unique time in history to benefit from Eastern and Western medical and spiritual healing traditions.

Healing often begins with awareness—the quiet moment you choose to look within and face what's beneath the surface. In this conversation, Carron Montgomery, author, counselor, and trauma specialist, shares how her work through The Invisible Riptide and upcoming graphic novel The Real Truth About Lena helps others navigate anxiety, grief, and emotional growth with compassion. Drawing from her experience as a mother, therapist, and advocate for mental health, Carron reminds us that true healing isn't about avoiding the waves but learning to move through them with grace, empathy, and community.  Key Takeaways:   Awareness is the starting point for healing—it allows us to name what we feel and begin to release it.  Children and adults alike need tools to understand their emotions, not hide from them.  Empathy and compassion can transform pain into connection and restore our sense of belonging.  Community and open conversations about mental health help break the stigma and foster hope.  Healing becomes powerful when we use our experiences to guide and uplift others.  Join us for the Kindness Campaign and help create a ripple of compassion in your community!

In this episode of 5 Minutes of Peace, we explore one of the most common questions Reiki practitioners and students ask: How is Holy Fire® Reiki different from traditional Usui Reiki?Both are forms of Reiki — a Japanese technique for relaxation, stress reduction, and healing — but they represent different expressions of the same universal life force energy. This short reflection explains the distinctions while honoring both traditions as equally valuable and transformative.Key Insights:Symbols and Consciousness: Traditional Usui Reiki uses three Level II symbols and one Master symbol to focus healing energy. Holy Fire® Reiki introduces additional symbols unique to its system, designed to activate higher levels of consciousness.Attunements and Placements: Traditional Usui Reiki involves attunements passed through the teacher. Holy Fire® Reiki replaces these with placements and ignitions—direct transmissions from Source energy itself—creating a deeply personal and direct connection with Reiki.Vibrational Evolution: As human consciousness evolves toward a more heart-centered vibration, Holy Fire® Reiki represents this shift. It channels a higher frequency of healing energy aligned with the expanding awareness of unity and compassion.Ever-Evolving Reiki: Usui taught that Reiki is ever-developing, a living energy that grows as we do. Holy Fire® Reiki embodies this principle, inviting us to continue raising our vibration and bringing more light into our healing practice and the world.This episode reminds us that Reiki, whether traditional Usui or Holy Fire®, is a path of evolution, connection, and love. Each system offers its own doorway into higher awareness and deeper peace.The 5 Minutes of Peace podcast is created by The Peace Room in Boise, Idaho.Learn more about Reiki classes, sessions, and events at www.ThePeaceRoom.love.

In this episode, I sit down with one of my IFS mentors Chris Burris, LMFT, Senior Lead Trainer for the Internal Family Systems (IFS) Institute, to explore one of the most challenging and misunderstood aspects of our inner world: the inner critic. Chris shares his personal journey with IFS and how the model offers a radical permission to approach ourselves—and our parts—with more love, kindness, and curiosity. Together, we discuss: Why people are more than the behavior of their parts The nature of inner critic parts and why pushing them away doesn't work How cultural messages often teach us to fight or silence the inner critic, rather than befriend it Common “suck points” when working with critics in therapy The role of legacy burdens in shaping our inner critics What it means to carry the critical energy of others inside us The importance of following intuition in the healing process Practical exercises to begin befriending your inner critic on your own This conversation is both grounding and liberating, offering a compassionate reframe for anyone who struggles with self-judgment or harsh inner voices.   About Chris Burris: Chris Burris, M.Ed., LCMHCS, LMFT (he/him), is a Senior Lead Trainer for the Internal Family Systems Institute, providing Level II and III trainings worldwide. He has been an IFS Therapist since 1999 and a practicing psychotherapist since 1987. With a background in marriage and family therapy and a mind-body approach, Chris has worked extensively with individuals, couples, families, and groups. He is the author of Creating Healing Circles: Using the Internal Family Systems Model in Facilitating Groups, and has been leading experiential group trainings since 2003 on topics such as Self-leadership, men's work, rites of passage, sacred activism, healthy relationships, and performance enhancement. Chris has also trained in nature-based models through the Animus Valley Institute, School of Lost Borders, The Foundation for Shamanic Studies, and The Center for Conscious Eldering.   Resources: Internal Family Systems Institute: burriscounseling.com   ___________________________________ Want to work with Natalie?

As Super Typhoon Ragasa approaches, public transportation in Guangdong province — particularly train services — will be heavily disrupted starting on Tuesday, while most coastal cities in the province have suspended school, work, production and business operations.随着超强台风“桦加沙”逼近，广东省公共交通（尤其是铁路运输）将于2日起遭遇严重影响，该省多数沿海城市已启动停课、停工、停产、停业措施。Ragasa, the 18th typhoon of 2025, was upgraded to a super typhoon by China's National Meteorological Center on Sunday morning, with the maximum wind force near the center reaching above level 17.“桦加沙”作为2025年第18号台风，中国气象局于周日上午将其升级为超强台风，台风中心附近最大风力达17级以上。High-speed and regular trains within Guangdong will gradually be suspended from noon on Tuesday, with the range of suspensions adjusted systematically according to the storm's impact, China Railway Guangzhou Group said on Monday. All train services in the province will be suspended on Wednesday, it added. Services are expected to resume once the typhoon weakens, with schedules updated accordingly.中国铁路广州局集团有限公司1日发布消息称，2日中午起，广东省内高铁及普速列车将逐步停运，停运范围将根据台风影响情况统筹调整；3日，该省所有列车运行将全面暂停。待台风强度减弱后，铁路部门将逐步恢复列车运营，并及时更新列车运行时刻。The typhoon is forecast to make landfall along the coast from Huizhou in Guangdong to Wenchang in Hainan province between the early morning and afternoon on Wednesday. At that time, it is expected to be a strong typhoon or super typhoon, with winds of level 14 to 16, said Wang Haiping, chief forecaster at the National Meteorological Center.中国气象局首席预报员王海平表示，预计“桦加沙”将于3日凌晨至下午时段，在广东惠州至海南文昌一带沿海登陆。登陆时，其强度预计为强台风或超强台风级别，风力可达14至16级。"One of the main reasons for the high intensity of Typhoon Ragasa is that the ocean has been continuously heated throughout the summer, resulting in relatively high sea temperatures after autumn," Wang said. He added that typhoons in autumn often interact with cold air masses moving south, a process that lifts warm, moist air and can trigger extreme rainfall.王海平指出：“台风‘桦加沙'强度偏高的主要原因之一，是整个夏季海洋持续升温，导致入秋后海温仍处于较高水平。”他补充道，秋季台风常与南下的冷空气相互作用，这一过程会抬升暖湿气流，可能引发极端强降雨。"The strong typhoon will bring heavy to torrential rainfall in South China's coastal area," Wang said at a Monday news conference.在1日召开的新闻发布会上，王海平强调：“此次强台风将给我国华南沿海地区带来大到特大暴雨。”Authorities in Guangdong on Monday morning raised the province's wind emergency response to Level II, the second-highest in China's four-tier warning system.1日上午，广东省应急管理部门将该省台风应急响应级别提升至Ⅱ级——这是我国四级应急预警体系中的第二高级别。Local railway operators have adjusted train operations based on the storm's expected path. Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport said it would adjust or cancel flights depending on conditions, while ferry service to Chuanshan Islands in Jiangmen will be suspended from Tuesday as nearby sea winds are expected to reach about 72 kilometers per hour.当地铁路部门已根据台风预计路径调整列车运行计划。广州白云国际机场表示，将依据天气情况调整或取消航班；江门川山群岛航线轮渡将于2日起停运，届时该区域附近海面风力预计将达每小时72公里。As of 10 am Monday, Guangdong's Maritime Safety Administration had relocated more than 10,000 coastal vessels to safe waters.截至1日上午10时，广东海事局已组织逾1万艘沿海船舶转移至安全水域避风。By Monday afternoon, authorities in Zhuhai, Dongguan, Shanwei, Shenzhen, Zhongshan, Jiangmen, Yangjiang and Huizhou had announced suspensions of classes, work, production, public transport and business operations on Tuesday and Wednesday.截至1日下午，珠海、东莞、汕尾、深圳、中山、江门、阳江、惠州等地已陆续发布通知，2日至3日期间，当地将实施停课、停工、停产、暂停公共交通及停业措施。In Hong Kong, education officials said classes at all schools — including secondary schools, primary schools, special schools, kindergartens, kindergarten-cum-child care centers and evening schools — would be suspended for both days.香港特区教育部门宣布，全港所有学校（包括中学、小学、特殊学校、幼儿园、幼稚园暨幼儿中心及夜校）2日至3日将全面停课。Hong Kong International Airport will remain open during the storm, but a substantial number of flights are expected to be grounded, Airport Authority Hong Kong said. Wing Yeung Tak-wing, the authority's service delivery director, told reporters the airport would see a significant reduction in flights after 6 pm on Tuesday and a full-day impact on Wednesday. Passengers are urged to confirm flight statuses with airlines before heading to the airport.香港机场管理局表示，台风影响期间香港国际机场将保持开放，但预计大量航班将延误或取消。香港机场管理局服务总监杨永恒向媒体介绍，2日下午6时后机场航班起降将大幅减少，3日全天航班运行都将受到显著影响。机场管理局提醒旅客，前往机场前务必先与航空公司确认航班状态。In Hainan, the Haikou Transportation and Port & Shipping Administration announced that Xinhai Port, Xiuying Port and Railway South Port will suspend operations beginning at 6 pm on Tuesday. The closures are expected to last until Thursday evening, depending on weather conditions.在海南省，海口市交通运输和港航管理局宣布，新海港、秀英港、铁路南港将于2日下午6时起停止运营。停运时间预计将持续至4日晚间，具体恢复运营时间将根据天气情况另行通知。Although the typhoon's eye may not make direct landfall on Hainan, the island's northern and western coasts are forecast to see winds of level 10 to 12, with torrential rain expected in Haikou and other regions.气象部门预计，尽管台风“桦加沙”的中心可能不会直接在海南登陆，但海南岛北部及西部沿海地区将遭遇10至12级大风，海口等多地将出现特大暴雨。Wang Changxiao, director of the disaster prevention and mitigation department at the Emergency Management Bureau of Shenzhen Municipality, urged residents to prepare sufficient emergency supplies such as bread and medicine.深圳市应急管理局防灾减灾处负责人王长晓提醒市民，需提前储备充足的面包、药品等应急物资。"The super typhoon will become one of the most significant storms to hit the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area since 2018," Wang said. "While staying at home, residents should secure doors and windows and have sufficient emergency supplies ready."王长晓表示：“此次超强台风将成为2018年以来影响粤港澳大湾区的最强台风之一。市民居家期间，需加固门窗，并准备好充足的应急物资。”suspendv.暂停，中止； /səˈspend/torrentialadj.特大的，暴雨的/təˈrenʃl/mitigationn.减轻；缓解/ˌmɪtɪˈɡeɪʃn/

Instead it offers a glimpse into the religious life of the atrium, a specially prepared place for children to live out their silent request: “Help me come closer to God by myself.” Here we can see the child's spiritual capabilities and perhaps even find in our own souls the child long burdened with religious information. This book serves as a companion to the second volume, The Religious Potential of the Child 6 to 12 Years Old. The desire to have this essential text available in audio has been a long-held goal for many. The work of many hands has combined to bring this release to life as an audiobook.    Find out more about CGS:       Learn more about the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd     Follow us on Social Media-  Facebook at “The United States Association of the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd”  Instagram-  cgsusa  Twitter- @cgsusa  Pinterest- Natl Assoc of Catechesis of the Good Shepherd USA  YouTube- catechesisofthegoodshepherd

We have to talk about the NCAA NOA Starts at 0:54 A great exercise in bad faith, and deeply insulting to Mike Sainristil. NCAA doesn't want to go to court because they'll lose, so they produced a blustery document to make it about money. Clearly Stalions should not have been part of any organization. If Jim Harbaugh is still the head coach when this comes out they would have had to fire him. But these are clearly minor violations hopped up as an extension of Harbaugh's reaction to telling them to go to hell for Burgergate, and part of a pattern of the NCAA coming after him personally. We're actually shocked at how bad all of their evidence is: 1) Stalions who's a liar. 2) Joey Velazquez, who recorded Stalions, tried to entrap Partridge, and Partridge proved was lying about their interaction, and for the Level II recruiting violations 3) a player who was broomed from the class whom the NCAA also admitted didn't have his stories straight. The only evidence they had of an atmosphere of noncompliance was an assistant (likely Stalions) saying screw Compliance. When they say the benefit was not marginal they don't even try to justify that take—Michigan got better without Stalions. The report makes its conclusion on the value of this entirely on the basis of the lengths that Stalions went to trying to get film when the guy goes to extreme lengths to pump up his own importance as a rule. Their defining piece of evidence is Harbaugh gave him a game ball, when they also say they found Harbaugh gave out 15 game balls per game to try to make sure everyone on staff got one, and Connor's value was so little that he a defensive ball from Iowa. [The rest of the writeup and the player after THE JUMP] 2. Defensive Line Starts at 16:16 Rayshaun Benny was grading out like Mason Graham—see: the end of the OSU and Alabama games. He is not Mason Graham, but should be able to keep up that sort of ratio because they are so deep they can keep him fresh at the end of games. Tre Williams is a Mazi Smith, M valued him more than Clemson did; he isn't a pass-rusher. Damon Payne is an innings-eater. Ike Iwunnah too. Trey Pierce and Enow Etta are the ones we want to see emerge because they have eligibility for next year. Pierce is on that track while Etta gained weight after getting pushed around last year, is ticketed for the Jenkins role. If a 7th DT plays we think it's Palepale, who looks huge and athletic. Edge has a floor of All-Big Ten and a ceiling of Derrick Moore turning into a Day 1 pick. He is that freakish combination of technique, length, and athleticism, got better at dropping into coverage last year, has a Mike Morris style of pass rush that should work. Last year he was getting to the quarterback but everyone else got there before him. TJ Guy is possibly the smartest guy on the field, had the most dip of last year, underrated strength, lots of versatility, though hit a ceiling when it came to carrying Flex TEs. Saved Michigan vs OSU. Cam Brandt is the established backup to D-Mo; we're a little iffy on him, but he might be on the Morris track. Backup to Guy is Nichols—clearly the program likes him but unproven. Would like to see Nate Marshall used in a pass rush only role this year. Would like to see Baxter and Edokpayi playing more this year too. 3. Linebacker Starts at 50:02 Everybody came back/is healthy after they prepared to lose everyone, so there's a lot of age and a lot of depth. Ernest Hausmann is the glue of the offense, another very underrated player who moves like a nickel and reads plays well. Had to get in better shape because when you're the button you can't be breathing hard between plays—you have to yelling. Barham is the Problem for offenses, because you can't block him with a RB and you have to block someone with the RB. Been caught "covering grass" as we say but has the ability to blow up. Can also spend time at edge if need be. Depth is incredible. Rolder is your Braiden McGregor-memorial back-from-injury senior who's going to play plenty and play well but start losing time to Cole Sullivan, the next Barham who's rocked up and earning a ton of practice hype after being under-ranked out of high school by 247 and ESPN (On3 moved him up to #112 so I couldn't make him the Sleeper of the Class). Also got Troy Bowles who's got a role as the Coverage LB. And Jaydon Hood has shown he can play. AND they really like the freshmen: Owusu-Boateng is a future Hausmann while Chase Taylor is a Class Sleeper. 4. Secondary Starts at 1:16:28 Replete with options, but each has a question mark. Is Rod Moore going to play? Maybe 2nd half of the season—was 85% at start of fall, has to backpedal, IG video shows him jogging. Assumed he's a nickel but TJ Metcalf is stepping in for him; Metcalfs (Metcalves?) can obviously play, precognition is Sainristilian. Brandyn Hillman is a hit stick, the person offensive players are most afraid of despite Barham on the team. Free safety is either Jaden Mangham, a glider whom offenses didn't throw at when at MSU (probably because you could throw at anyone else), or Mason Curtis, who is a very weird player. Curtis has an extra role as a Big Nickel, i.e. a hybrid OLB who comes in for Guy against 2TE sets to take away those Flex TEs. Might see something from a young guy but unlikely. Cornerback is the iffiest position on defense but has a super high ceiling with Jyaire and Zeke both with considerable runway. Hill just needs to not bite on double-moves. Berry got comfortable last year, still can clean up his zones and turn getting a hand on passes into interceptions. Depth starts with Jo'Ziah Edmond, a Ryan Walters special stolen from Walters. We think Shamari Earls looks like an immediately viable corner but is on more of a Jyaire development track (also ran track) as opposed to Will Johnson, who was super developed at this stage. Caleb Anderson did not impress us as much as the two #12s who preceded him. Jeremiah Lowe showed some things in spring; Seth thinks Jayden Sanders is going to play more than Lowe.

Mary and Sue, who participated in this event, share with us about this unique event and how they saw God work through the presence of CGSUSA.  Sue Stuhlsatz-Reese began her formation in the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd in 1996 and has been formed in Levels I, II, III and Infant-Toddler. Her ongoing formation in CGS includes the Cavalletti Heritage Course at Aquinas Institute and being formed by children in the atrium. She currently works with toddlers, Level I and Level II in the atrium. Working with children in the atrium has expanded to include serving as a Level I formation leader and as Board Chair for CGSUSA. Her very favorite people include her husband, three children, and four grandchildren. Sue's family also includes two rescued dogs.  Mary Mirrione began working with CGS in 1992. She and a team of catechists and parents built atria at St Anne's in Gilbert, Arizona for their 1800 children. She has been a formation leader since 1997 serving as such at home and abroad.

We ask that you email this information to Susan Stuhlsatz‑Reese at susansr@cgsusa.org   We are counting on you! We are also happy to share with you that our new and improved atrium locator is now up and running!

In some sense it is, but I have to remember here that there is another basic human need: to belong. We want to belong to a family, to a country, to a culture, and so on. To be a citizen of the world is a very noble ideal and aspiration, but there is a risk in it: the risk of becoming somebody without roots, somebody who has no soil under his or her feet.  In this regard, we have to learn a lesson from nature; in nature there are many trees, small ones and big ones, and in order to be alive they have to strictly observe a rule: the breadth of the foliage has to correspond to the size of the roots. If there is not a balance between the foliage and the roots, the tree will fall down and die.  In human beings, the roots are our traditions and the foliage is the capacity of being open to wider and wider horizons. We have to take care of both. Only if we are firmly bound to our soil-our tradition-will we be able to have a vital interchange with other cultures and traditions. Only if we are firmly rooted in our tradition will be able to offer others our richness, be open to receive others' richness, and be capable of taking advantage of it.”        Further Reading:    Purchase Nurturing the Whole Child HERE    Other Episodes with Donna or Anna:    Episode 35- Baptism with Donna Turner    Episode 41- The Elementary Aged Child with Anna Hurdle      Other Episodes About Ecumenism-    Episode 29- CGS and Christian Unity with Bishop Talley      Learn more about the 40th Anniversary Celebration of CGSUSA HERE      AUDIOBOOK:    Audiobook – Now Available on Audible  CGSUSA is excited to offer you the audio version of The Religious Potential of the Child – 3rd Edition by Sofia Cavalletti, read by Rebekah Rojcewicz!  The Religious Potential of the Child is not a “how-to” book, complete with lesson plans and material ideas.
