In 1730, A Fukienese local named Lin Yung-Hsing relocated the female deity from the Fukien province to Dajia, drawing a crowd of new immigrants to worship. Since then, followers kept coming to get her blessings and honor Matsu . In 1732, a hut was primarily built. In 1770, the temple was rebuilt and officially named Tienhou Gong.

In 1787, another renovation took place. From then on, government officials, local gentry and heads of the 53 villages, one after another, incorporated the land and revamped the temple. The name of the temple was then changed to Zhen Lan Gong.

In December 4 th , 1988 , the last renovation of Zhen Lan Gong was completed.

    

Mazu is widely worshiped among Taiwanese. There are 390 temples enshrining Mazu throughout Taiwan . You could see them just about everywhere. Mazu goes by many names such as Meijouma, Wenlingma, Yintongma, Kaitaima, Beigongma, Dajiama, Guanduma, etc. Those names only signify geographic differences as to where Mazu is worshiped while they represent the very same Mazu . Records of Mazu started approximately around the Sung Dynasty. Mazu 's first name is Muo and the last name is Lin. She was born in Meijou, Putien City , Fukien Province , March 23 rd , 960ad. She lived 28 years and died in 987. It is believed that, at Lin Muo's birth, the room was filled with red light and fragrance. Through the first month after birth, she had not cried once, which gave her the name Muo (In Chinese, Muo means silence).

When Mazu was 13 years old, a Taoist priest named Syuantong went to Lin's one day to beg for alms. Mazu sincerely invited him in and respectfully offered him tea. During his subsequent visits, the priest was also well cared for. He was moved by her actions and taught Mazu “Syuanweimifa” from which Mazu gained the ability of being people's salvation.

 

One day when she was 19 years old, Matsu 's father and brother were out sailing while Mazu was at home weaving. She got tired and fell asleep on the table. While sleeping, Mazu had a dream that her father and brother have an accident out in the ocean. In the dream, she jumped right in and had her hand pulling his father while holding his brother by his clothes with her mouth. Then she fought against the wild ocean just trying to stay alive. Suddenly she heard her mother calling out to her. She immediately answered which resulted in the drowning of her brother. Finally, Mazu woke up and was informed of his brother's death. While deeply in her sorrow, Mazu dedicated herself to seeking religious knowledge even more than before.

 

September 9 th , 987ad, Mazu parted with her parents and left for Mei Islet. Once she reached the summit of Mei Peak , children came down from auspicious clouds and accompanied Mazu through her ascension.

 

Stories have it that Mazu has two acolytes. One has the ability of seeing things thousands of miles away and the other can hear as if he's always downwind to the origins of sounds. Mazu often wear red dress traveling through islands on clouds. If ships were ever in trouble, Mazu would answer to the prayers for help.

 

Overview of Codex Alimentarius

by Rima Laibow, M.D.

At the request of the United Nations (UN) in 1962, the World Health Organization (WHO) and Food and

Agriculture Organization (FAO) took on the joint role of running and administering the Codex

Alimentarius Commission (CAC) to establish standards and remove barriers to trade for all food and

food products. Having declared that nutrients are toxins from which we must be protected, the CAC

has been busy establishing enforceable international guidelines for upper limits of nutritional

supplement dosing. Codex has goals that affect every person in the UN’s 170+ member nations,

including the United States. As a tool for furthering these goals, member nations are urged to adopt

Codex standards and guidelines as domestic policy. The United States has already committed itself to

doing so despite U. S. law which prohibits this compliance.

The World Trade Organization (WTO) has adopted Codex as a standard for the adjudication of foodrelated

international trade disputes and has the authority to enforce Codex standards through

implementation of harsh economic sanctions on non-Codexcompliant member nations. Pre-existing

international treaty laws dictate that WTO rulings will override the domestic laws already in place in

its member nations and, in fact, the WHO has successfully taken both states and the U. S. government

to court in the U. S. to force changes in our domestic laws eleven times. This means our nation’s hard

won laws that give you access to over-the-counter, natural health supplements will become

meaningless. Codex’s original mandate to remove barriers to trade and assure a clean food supply has,

under the influence of private, economically-driven multinational pharmaceutical, agricultural and

chemical corporations, self-expanded far beyond its original mandate. The result is a body of highly

dangerous and restrictive policies that threaten to become domestic law in the U. S. and, as such, are

a threat to your health and freedom.

The FDA has stated explicitly that its goal is complete "harmonization" with Codex and, in order to

bring that about, international regulations i.e., Codex will be given preference over domestic ones!

(Federal Register, 10/ 11 /95)

If Codex gets its way, as it already has in the EU, we can expect that, ultimately, only 18 or so dietary

supplements will be available over-the-counter in doses which are, by design, far too small to have any

discernible impact on any human being since codex classifies nutrients as toxins. High potency

nutrients will not be available either with or without physician’s prescription since these molecules

and compounds will be forbidden under any circumstances. The big surprise? Once in the hands of

pharmaceutical companies, consumer supplement costs are expected to more than quadruple. This

has, in fact, been the experience in Europe where this process is already underway and micro-dose

nutrient prices have increased 10 to 100 fold or more (e.g., in Norway a bottle of zinc lozenges which

previously cost $2 now costs $54; in France 12 Vitamin C tabs of just10 mg cost $117; while 10 Vitamin

E caps of only 10 IU each cost $110).

Australia and the European Union (EU) are in the process of enacting harmonized Codex policies that

restrict consumer access to nutritional supplements. America is next. Though Americans value

personal freedom, the fact Codex meets infrequently (and almost always offshore) and is bogged

down in highly technical language that is difficult to understand has resulted in many Americans

being unaware of this threat. The nearly total media blackout on Codex and its activities helps to

keep the U. S. uninformed and therefore, pliant.

While there have been rare serious adverse reactions to nutritional supplements during the past

decades, (usually when taken far in excess of the recommended dosing), numerous severe and even

fatal reactions to drugs (usually when taken at the recommended dosing) occur every day and are the

fourth leading cause of death in hospitalized clients in the United States when properly

used. When improperly used, they are, in fact, far and away the leading cause of death in

the United States. Even so, drug deaths are very likely underreported. Drugs are

inherently dangerous; nutrients are not. This fact makes it clear why the drug culture

2

needs to eliminate all access to natural health options, including nutritional supplements,

in order to expand and intensify its influence and thus its profitability. Healthy people

take fewer drugs and thus are poor customers.

The global pharmaceutical powers -that-be have already purchased a large piece of the

lucrative global nutritional supplement pie but the considerable size of this pie keeps the

hugely profitable pharmaceutical profit -share-pie from reaching its maximum size so the

competing nutrient pie must be destroyed. Though unable to patent a natural substance,

pharmaceutical corporations can hold patents on synthetic versions of vitamins and

minerals that, unfortunately for the consumer, often do not act like their natural vitamin

counterparts in the body and often act in unpredic table and harmful ways. If Codexcompliant

Europe is any guide, the permitted micro-doses of permitted nutrients will be

only synthetic ones.

In addition to regulatory and/or administrative takeover and destruction of the dietary

supplement market and consumer access, Codex also mandates irradiation of food;

mandatory use of antibiotics, hormones and growth stimulants in all animals raised for

food, is expected to legalize the unlabeled inclusion of Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) (whose

safety has never been established while their serious dangers have) into our seed and food supplies and

will increase the allowable maximum tolerated levels of pesticides, herbicides, veterinary drugs and

other dangerous industrial toxins in food, likely driving up degenerative illnesses, including cancer,

diabetes, cardiovascular disease, macular degeneration, MS, etc. All of these policies are made under

the guise of free and equal access to trade for all nations and protection of the public.

Some people have “Codex Anesthesia,” a state of overwhelming, numb confusion that occurs just

before people lose their health freedom. Many otherwise well-informed people from the manufacturing

and retailing sectors of natural healthcare believe that the Dietary Supplement Health and Education

Act (DSHEA), passed in 1994 to protect Americans’ access to natural healthcare substances, will still be

in place to protect them. This is not the case: Fundamental health freedoms afforded the American

public by DSHEA, which classifies supplements as food which, as such, can have no upper limit set on

their use, are now under well orchestrated legislative and/or administrative attack. Health nuts and

junk food devotees alike are not immune from this legislative attack on health freedom.

The station opened in 1882 at the request of the Earl of Sheffield, a local landowner and promoter of the The Lewes and East Grinstead Railway Act 1877 which authorised the construction of a line from East Grinstead to Lewes, now popularly known as the Bluebell Railway. Originally named "Fletching and Sheffield Park", the name of the nearby village was dropped following objections by the Earl. It was originally closed in May 1955 but was reopened in August 1956 after it was found the closure was illegal.

 

Following the line's closure in 1958, a group of students formed a society with the intention of preserving part of the East Grinstead to Lewes line. On 7 August 1960 the group began working a short stretch of line between Sheffield Park and Bluebell Halt, just south of Horsted Keynes which was leased to it by British Rail. By 1968, the group had raised enough funds to purchase both the Sheffield Park and Horsted Keynes stations, with the former now the Bluebell Railway's headquarters

 

Sheffield Park is now the southern terminus of the Bluebell Railway and also the headquarters of the line. It is located on the southern bank of the River Ouse and is also situated on the Greenwich Meridian.

Faith on Campus

Newman Centers provide students a faith home away from home

 

By Andrew Junker and Ambria Hammel| Sept. 3, 2009 | The Catholic Sun

 

Even though classes at Northern Arizona University wouldn’t start until the following morning, the Flagstaff campus was filled with excited freshmen and fretful-looking parents Aug. 23.

 

On the mall outside the student union, organizations and groups vied for the new students’ interest and time.

 

And the requests won’t stop just because school has started, warned Fr. Matt Lowry during his homily at Holy Trinity Catholic Newman Center’s annual “Mass on the Grass.”

 

In fact, he said, much of college life is determining the most important question facing everyone: Whom will you serve?

 

For Fr. Lowry, part of that question was answered for him when he was assigned to be chaplain of NAU’s Newman Center this past July. He was also named associate vocations director for the Diocese of Phoenix.

 

For the foreseeable future, at least, he’ll be serving the students at the state university, which is exciting, but also a little daunting.

 

“College students force you to be intellectually honest,” the priest said. “They’re seeking the truth, which means, as a minister, I have to be very prepared.”

 

Newman Centers have to be a source of spiritual growth and a strong community for Catholic students at a state school who are often far from family members and their local parish, Fr. Lowry said.

 

“Since we don’t have a Catholic university in the diocese, the Newman Center becomes the place where students have Catholic formation,” he said. “It’s a critical time in a person’s life. They leave home and parish and they need support for their faith.”

 

During an Aug. 23 welcoming Mass at the All Saints Catholic Newman Center at Arizona State University in Tempe, Dominican Father James Thompson encouraged the students to use the center — and, more broadly, their time in college — to grow their faith.

 

“I dare you to question your faith,” he said. “I’ll go even further. I demand that you question it so that you achieve an adult faith. That’s what you’re here for at the Newman Center. Own your faith and question it with integrity.”

 

Fr. Thompson said that through honest questioning, students would arrive at the truth, regardless of their chosen major. In a homily that echoed the thought of the great Dominican Thomas Aquinas, he said students studying the sciences, the arts and philosophy could be led to the ultimate Truth.

 

ASU’s Newman Center offers a myriad of opportunities for students to “own” their faith, and the list of ways they can get involved grows every year.

 

“The more students are involved in a community, the more retention levels go up,” said Lourdes Alonso, director of campus ministry and a past president of ASU’s Council of Religious Advisors.

 

She said consistent comments praise the Dominicans’ “welcoming influence and successful ability to reach students and young professionals who have left the Church or who have drifted from regular Mass attendance.”

 

Alonso encourages Newman Center volunteers to always make a connection with the students who might be inquiring about something simple like Mass times.

 

“Engage them in a conversation by asking their name, where they’re from or what they’re studying,” Alonso said.

 

It can all go a long way to making the students feel comfortable at the Newman Center, and that will get them coming back for more.

 

“Last year I went to a College Night and got plugged right into it,” said Thomas Kupitz, a sophomore at ASU. “It’s a good atmosphere of peers.”

 

He noted that opportunities available at the Newman Center cater to the whole individual by offering service projects and socializing, small faith sharing and retreats.

 

“The environment has pushed us to go and do stuff,” Kupitz said. “There are activities to keep you engaged.”

 

Sense of community

Up in Flagstaff, second-year student Catherine Eyer told a similar story. She began going to Sunday Mass at the Newman Center and then attended XLT, which combines adoration of the Blessed Sacrament with praise and worship music, some Scripture and preaching.

 

It was her experience at XLT that drew Eyer into the Newman Center. This year, she was manning the signup table before the Mass on the Grass outside the center’s chapel.

 

“I just like to be involved in things,” she said. “Most of the people I’ve met here are phenomenal. There’s a definite community. It’s like a close-knit family.”

 

Fr. Lowry hopes the Catholic community at NAU will grow even closer. He plans to do his part by “being visible” on campus and at the center. He’ll be celebrating Mass and hearing confessions daily, and he’s already spruced up the center’s front yard with some sand for volleyball games.

 

Fr. Lowry didn’t hide the fact that he’ll also be spending his days fostering vocations at NAU and supporting students in discernment.

 

“College is the time when we discern all our vocations,” he said. “The bishop was purposeful in giving me my two titles: chaplain of the Newman Center and associate vocations director.”

 

But for many of the new freshmen and returning students who attended Mass at either Newman Center, perhaps the most apparent thing was that even away from home, they still have a family in their brothers and sisters in Christ.

 

“It’s just so amazing to have a Catholic community on campus,” Eyer said.

All other decorations are fondant and gum paste. Vines and flowers are buttercream. The cake is dark chocolate mayonnaise cake with vanilla buttercream.

Cattleya /ˈkætliːə/ is a genus of 113 species of orchids from Costa Rica and the Lesser Antilles south to Argentina. The genus was named in 1824 by John Lindley after William Cattley[3] who received and was the first to bloom a specimen of Cattleya labiata. William Swainson had discovered the new plant in Pernambuco, Brazil, in 1817 and shipped to the Glasgow Botanic Gardens for identification. Swainson requested that a few plants be later sent to Cattley, who was able to bloom one a full year before the plants in Glasgow. It would be another 70 years before they would be rediscovered in the wild because of a mixup in the assumed location of the plants. The genus is abbreviated C in trade journals.

 

They are widely known for their large, showy flowers, and were used extensively in hybridization for the cut-flower trade until the 1980s when pot plants became more popular. The flowers of the hybrids can vary in size from 5 cm to 15 cm or more. They occur in all colors except true blue and black.

 

The typical flower has three rather narrow sepals and three usually broader petals: two petals are similar to each other, and the third is the quite different conspicuous lip, featuring various markings and specks and an often frilly margin. At the base, the margins are folded into a tube. Each flower stalk originates from a pseudobulb. The number of flowers varies; it can be just one or two, or sometimes up to ten.

 

HYBRIDS

Cattleyas have been hybridized both within the genus and with related genera for more than a century, but the last several decades have seen a remarkable increase in both the quantity and quality of the hybrids within the Cattleya alliance. Among the most popular are the Brassolaeliocattleya (Blc.) and Sophrolaeliocattleya (Slc.) hybrids. The vast majority of the Blc. hybrids have recently been moved into the new nothogenus Rhyncholaeliocattleya (Rlc.); the Slc. mostly into Cattleya, with a few in Laleliocattleya (Lc.)

 

Laelia (L.): Breeding with this genus refines the lip of the orchid, producing a more elongated closed "cone" that gracefully opens into the full lip of the blossom. Some species of Laelia also contribute an intense violet shade. Laelia + Cattleya = Laeliocattleya, the basis for many more complex and highly popular hybrids. Most species of Laelia (the "Brasilian Laelias") were merged into Cattleya in the first decade of the third millennium, after a brief sojourn in Sophronitis.

 

Brassavola (B.): Most crosses with Brassavola are actually done with the Ryncholaelia digbyana, which was moved out of the Brassavola genus but was still considered such in naming the hybrid for many years. This cross is made in order to effect the fabulous "fringed", "feathered" or "ruffled" lip of the bloom; it also expands the lip of the blossom and the most imposing cattleya hybrids almost always have this species in their ancestry. These are usually the largest of the major cattleya hybrids. Brassavola + Cattleya = Brassocattleya, Brassavola + Laelia + Cattleya = Brassolaeliocattleya. Most, but not all, of these hybrids are now placed in Rhyncholaeliocattleya.

 

Sophronitis (Soph.): A tiny, flame-colored orchid that introduces the most intense red color to its descendants. Many crimson and scarlet cattleya hybrids betray sophronitis in their ancestry. Sophronitis is also used to miniaturize cattleya hybrids. Sophronitis + Laelia + Cattleya = Sophrolaeliocattleya. Sophronitis was recently merged into Cattleya, after being expanded to include most of the Laelia species.

 

Potinara (Pot.): The combination of all three of the above with a Cattleya. Potinaras are not as popular as Blc's or Slc's, but there are some incredible examples coming in all ranges of colors from light green to magenta. Although it is not a rule, they are generally smaller than Blc's but larger than Slc's. The recent merging of Sophronitis into Cattleya extinguished the nothogenus Potinara; most former Potinaras are now in the nothogenus Rhyncholaeliocattleya (Rlc.)

 

Yamadara (Yam.): The cross of the Blc combination with an [Epidendrum]. The addition of Epidendrum appears to increase flower yield, and some Yamadaras are intensely colored. With the recent discovery that the first Yamadara was registered as Adamara, the nothogeneric epithet Yamadara has been extinguished and replaced with Adamara.

 

Hawkinsara (Hknsa.): The Slc combination crossed with Broughtonia. Smaller, often magenta/reddish flowers. Many of these are now classified in the nothogenus Cattleytonia (Ctna.)

 

Cattleyas can be crossed with a large number of other allied genera, including Cattleyopsis, Caularthron, Schomburgkia, Tetramicra, etc. Hybridization can go all the way up to eight parent genera, such as Brassavola x Broughtonia x Cattleya x Cattleyopsis x Caularthron x Epidendrum x Laelia x Sophronitis in Gladysyeeara.

 

IN CULTURE

The phrase "to do a cattleya" is used as a playful euphemism for amorous fondling by the characters Odette and Swann in Marcel Proust's novel Remembrance of Things Past.

The main character in the 2011 action film Colombiana played by Zoe Saldana is named Cataleya. The film prominently features the Colombian flower as Cataleya's calling card and it's a major part of some versions of the movie poster.

One of the main characters in Advance Wars: Days of Ruin, who has amnesia, names herself after a cattleya isabella that she is given. She calls herself Catleia in the European version, but in the US version her friend Will convinces her to name herself after the "isabella" part instead.

 

SEE ALSO

Some cattleya hybrids have been named and dedicated to the First Lady of the United States, celebrities, and individuals that want to honor another such as the radiant faith orchid.
