We are formed by a group of Tech Graduates who worked in the Corporate world before deciding to start their own Company. The startup Virus affects our brain and we got into this entrepreneurial world of service. The first thing we did was SWOT analysis, we identified our weakness, strength, opportunity, and threats. During this, we realized that Knowledge was our biggest strength and finance was our biggest weakness. So we accepted the fact that we don't have the budget to market to big companies or corporations.
So what do we do? Should we start applying for jobs?
We also identified that there was lots of small business in US. Small business is mostly has a superman called the owner who tried to wear as much as possible and tends to lack behind in the tech world. We saw an opportunity there, we could help small business with their tech needs and provide them all the tech and skills needed to grow them.
But isn't small business are restained with budget issues. Yes, I get it, but small business doesn't demand more as corporate so we can serve multiple businesses at once and can lower our cost to them. and on top of that, our cost is incorporated in their revenue as investing in us means increasing their revenue. The best part, " one-day small business will become giant".
So our mission is to " Stalk small business till their growth and cash out bigtime "


Former "retired" Robbinsdale superintendent Stan Mack was a finalist for the same job in the Duluth district!
The three finalists looking to become the next Superintendent of Duluth Public Schools are being interviewed this week by members of the public and school board.
First on the list is Stan Mack, an executive director for the Minnesota Board of School Administrators in Roseville, Minnesota. Many residents asked tonight how he would create a diverse staff and address the achievement gap. Mack explained modeling behavior, staff development and community are important tools in closing the gap. He also said he's had years of experience and Duluth could be more progressive.
"Being surrounded by and benefited by competent cultural specialists to help meet with the community to deal with that adaptation of change is a critical aspect of my experience," said Stan Mack.
Duluth could be more progressive? Huh? What is a competent cultural specialist?
Duluth has apparently not made the mistake we did and hired someone else.

compaction_throughput_mb_per_sec is a more effective throttle on compaction.
This turns out to be false in the majority of deployments. In many (if not most) situations, compaction is actually CPU bound, not IO bound, so multithreaded compaction is generally helpful, but the priority needs to be lowered in order to prevent it from stealing CPU used for reads/writes.
Compaction is always CPU bound on both real hardware (sw raid0 with two SATA disks) and on a rackspace cloud server (though my understanding is they are back by a raid10 array underneath) however I suspect even a single drive is fast enough to handle the ~20MB/s that compaction is currently performing when unthrottled.


What is your first memory of being really excited? First going to gymnastics when I was a little kid. When you're a beginner it's just play time and I loved it.
What are you looking forward to in this year's Spectrum Project? Making lifelong friends and memories!


On Christmas Day, we drove to visit Sr Porter's sister, Ursula, her husband, Hellmut, and their kids with their kids:-) There were 20 of us there that day, overnight and until we hit the road the next day. There were also 3 missing - Sandra, her husband and their son (Jonas) who remained in Salt Lake City.
OLDEST SISTERS had the most fun!!! happy to visit "home" from their home in Houston.
The day after Christmas we went for a walk along the Rhein River. We walked about 2 Kilometers (a little over a mile) to an area where another giant ferris wheel was placed. This one was a giant compared to the other ones we saw in Dresden and Bremen. The word in German for Giant is Riesen - this one was Riesen!!! :-) BUT - it wasn't running until later in the afternoon, so we missed that experience as we drove back to WHV.
Sorry, but my pic of the Giant Ferris Wheel up close and personal didn't pan out. This pano includes (R-L) the bridge over the Rhein, the telephone tower, the Giant Ferris Wheel (YES - I know you will need a magnifying glass, but I don't know how to use this system very well:-( ) - The church steeple (more to follow) and some other buildings.
We all had a lot of fun looking at the little creek (River) called the "Düssel", which gave the city its name.
See the DUCKS - it's in the water.
The kids had a ton of fun - yes, of course they had to jump, but I didn't get a picture. May have needed it for the police and insurance for 'child cruelty' or parental malfeasence - but we didn't.
So we took a break and all had HOT CHOCLATE with WHIPPED CREAM ON TOP!
The sculpting on the left is a commemerative where the big battle occured where they won the independence to become a "city" or established location of its own. To the center, is the Düssel, and to the right the wonderful hot chocolate place. There were 17 of us, and it was a little more than 30 Euros - which would be about $40. I frankly don't know what the exchange rate is, but we are on the lower end of this money value thing - but the investment value for fun as a family and meeting so many young relatives we had never met (other than Rags, Lisa and their children, certainly made it worthwhile. Watching the Munchkins downing that hot chocolate with the whipped cream reminded me a of a, "Got MILK???" commerical when they looked up.

For much of the day, it all seemed so confusing.
This guy is going to win. No, no, that one can still pull it out. And let�s not forget the player who�s not even in contention.
In the end, the point scenarios didn�t matter a bit. This one was decided on the course, not by a computer.
After staying alive with an astounding shot from the water, Bill Haas defeated Hunter Mahan on the third extra hole of a winner-take-all playoff to capture the Tour Championship, the FedEx Cup and golf�s richest prize early last night in the dwindling light of East Lake in Atlanta.
The difference between winning and losing nearly $10 million.
�I do need to give myself some sort of reward, some sort of toy,� Haas said.
Coming down the stretch, more than a half-dozen players had a shot at the FedEx Cup. Even Webb Simpson, who began the week leading the points but finished 10 shots back in 22nd place.
Then, it all came into focus. When Haas and Mahan claimed spots in the playoff, everyone could put away their calculators and their criticism of the system that determines a champion.
The winner of the playoff would win it all � even though Haas still wasn�t sure he had captured both the tournament AND the FedEx Cup until he did a television interview alongside the 18th green.
Haas earned a combined $11.44 million, including $10 million for capturing the FedEx Cup.
SOLHEIM CUP: Europe won the Solheim Cup for the first time since 2003 yesterday, finishing powerfully to beat the United States 15-13 at Killeen Castle in Dunsany, Ireland.
Norway�s Suzann Pettersen turned the momentum Europe�s way when she recovered from 1 down with birdies at the last three holes to beat Michelle Wie by one hole. Her win left Europe needing just one point from the last two singles to win the trophy, but the side captained by Alison Nicholas did even better.
Caroline Hedwall of the Netherlands � 2 down with two holes to play � earned a crucial halved match to give Europe a 14-13 lead when rookie Ryann O�Toole bogeyed the 17th and 18th.


"All God's servants are minute men and women. As of old, I stand with sandals on and staff in hand, waiting for the watchword and the revelation of what, how, whither. Let us be faithful and obedient, and God will do the rest." Mary Baker Eddy inspired us beautifully to embrace consecration and readiness as a daily asset. There is something noble and dignified here, even something royal. In my imagination this readiness is like a bird who is prepared to fly any moment.
The way we approach daily life is the way we live our lives. When I prepared breakfast this morning, being interrupted a few times by people who needed my support, I found my way through this labyrinth of demands by remembering to be a volunteer under all circumstances. I also remembered a recent talk in which the speaker asked the audience to turn the cellphones back on (after the audience had been asked to turn the cellphones off before he entered the podium). His point being that our job is always to be available to others who need our help, our brother birds, everywhere. An unusual and a fresh way of looking at cellphones, from the Christian Science practitioner Rick Stewart, who was the speaker. Cellphones on! Not for entertainment or nonsense, but as a sign of availability and readiness.
"At every moment we are volunteers," wrote Stephen Colbert on a slip of paper, this quote being something like a motto of his. This volunteering becomes habitual, I find, as it is backed up by insights into our true being as worthy, spiritual, meaningful, interesting, and authentic. Discovering something about our status as divine ideas with a spiritual origin makes all the difference. There is good, God, as the beginning and end of it all. Being a volunteer reflects a link to good, at all times. It is a sign of authority.

Preventing Childhood Cavities: Is tooth decay common in children?
Sugar-laden diets have resulted in a rise of childhood tooth decay. Early development of tooth decay in children can compromise their oral health. Children who develop cavities during the beginning stages of their oral development tend to be more prone to gum disease and even tooth loss.
According to the CDC About 1 out of every 5 children aged 5 to 11 years have at least one untreated decayed tooth.
The best way to tackle tooth decay in children is through a proactive cavity prevention plan. Talk to Dr. Cheung about innovative ways to get your child engaged in routine brushing and flossing. We encourage parents to participate in their child's daily oral health routine and to lead by example. A healthy diet high in fiber and low in sugar can help keep your child's smile cavity free. Be sure to bring your child to the dentist at least once every six months for a routine dental exam.
Early diagnosis of tooth decay can help allow for conservative treatment options and to prevent the need tooth extractions.

Are you tired of being tired? If you're constantly feeling physically or mentally fatigued, or both, it's important to understand why in order to improve your situation.
Fatigue is a symptom characterized by extreme tiredness or exhaustion, typically resulting from mental or physical exertion or illness. It can impact every aspect of your life, including work performance, family life, and social relationships.
Symptoms of physical fatigue include lack of energy, difficulty performing everyday tasks, and muscle weakness. Symptoms of mental fatigue include impaired memory and concentration, lack of motivation, and inability to think clearly, almost as if you were intoxicated.
Fatigue can take a serious toll on your life, not only in the form of illness or disease, but also in terms of accidents and injuries. At Cogent Family Healthcare in Mountain View, California, Dr. Stephen Sims understands the seriousness of fatigue and will perform a comprehensive evaluation to determine the underlying cause.
What Is a Fatigue Evaluation?
Your fatigue evaluation will begin with a physical exam, review of your health history and any medications you may be taking, and discussion of your symptoms. Dr. Sims will want to know how long you have been experiencing symptoms of fatigue and when it occurs. He will ask you about your lifestyle and habits such as diet, exercise, sleep, and alcohol consumption.
Dr. Sims may also recommend diagnostic tests such as urinalysis; advanced blood tests; micronutrient, antioxidant, and immune function testing; imaging scans; and home sleep studies. Once he determines the root cause of your fatigue, Dr. Sims will create a customized treatment plan to address any medical conditions, mental health issues, or medication side effects that are contributing to your fatigue. He will also make recommendations to help you get better sleep, improve your nutrition, and change other negative habits.
If fatigue is making your life miserable, call Cogent Family Healthcare at (650) 386-0386 to schedule your fatigue evaluation with Dr. Sims. He's helped many people throughout the Bay Area live a happier, more productive life and he can help you, too.


The number and size of loans declined in several sectors of the city's non-residential market since Sept. 15, when Lehman Brothers collapsed, compared to non-residential loans in the fall of 2007, according to data from PropertyShark.com.
Among multifamily, mixed-use buildings, vacant land and stores, the amount and number of loans declined between Sept. 15 and Dec. 2, 2007, versus the same period of time this year.
In the multifamily and mixed-use sector alone, there was nearly a 10 percent decline in the number of loans made, to 775 from 858, and a 32 percent decline in the total amount of money loaned, to $1 billion from $1.488 billion.
Particularly in the office market, he said, few loans have been made since June last year. One of the largest office loans made this fall was the $102 million loan for Tower 56 at 126 East 56th Street.
While several other non-residential sectors saw a decline in the number of loans made, the sizes of the loans that were made in those sectors increased, according to the data.
In the hotel sector, only 11 loans were made this fall compared to 16 last fall. But this year, the amount of money loaned increased 268 percent to $390 million, up from $106 million last fall.
Only in the industrial sector did the number and amount of loans show a sizable increase, with $712 million spread over 163 loans this fall, up from $326 million spread over 149 loans in the fall of 2007. The change represents a 9 percent increase in the number of loans and an 118 percent increase in money loaned.
The 118 percent increase can be attributed to several large industrial loans, Evans said.
On the residential side, loans have become harder to obtain as banks raise their standard for homebuyers.

U.S. Department of Transportation says 2016 Flight Cancellation, Mishandled Baggage, and Bumping Rates are Lowest in Decades
Washington, DC - - (February 14, 2017) - - In 2016, the reporting carriers canceled 1.17 percent of their scheduled domestic flights, an improvement over the 1.5 percent cancellation rate in 2015 and the lowest in the 22 years with comparable numbers, according to the Air Travel Consumer Report (ATCR) released today. The previous low was 1.24 percent in 2002. The reporting carriers canceled 1.6 percent of their scheduled domestic flights in December 2016, an improvement over the 1.7 percent cancellation rate posted in December 2015, but up from the 0.3 percent rate in November 2016.
In 2016, the carriers posted a mishandled baggage rate of 2.70 per 1,000 passengers, down from 2015's rate of 3.13 and the lowest annual rate since DOT started collecting mishandled baggage report data in September 1987. The previous low was 3.09 in 2012. The U.S. carriers reporting mishandled baggage data posted a mishandled baggage rate of 3.58 reports per 1,000 passengers in December, down from December 2015's rate of 3.97, but up from November 2016's rate of 2.02.
The carriers posted a bumping rate of 0.62 per 10,000 passengers in 2016, an improvement over the 0.73 rate posted in 2015 and the lowest annual rate based on historical data dating back to 1995. The previous low was 0.72 in 2002. These carriers posted a bumping rate of 0.54 per 10,000 passengers for the quarter, down from the 0.69 rate for the fourth quarter of 2015.
The consumer report also includes data on on-time performance, tarmac delays, chronically delayed flights, and the causes of flight delays filed with the Department's Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) by the reporting carriers. In addition, the consumer report contains a tally of aviation service complaints filed with DOT's Aviation Consumer Protection Division by consumers regarding a range of issues such as flight problems, baggage, reservation and ticketing, refunds, customer service, disability, and discrimination. The report also includes information about the total number of animals that died, were injured, or were lost during air transport in December 2016 and calendar year 2016, as filed by the air carriers with the Aviation Consumer Protection Division. In addition, the report introduces data about the total number of animals transported by airlines during the calendar year.
For the full year 2016, the reporting carriers posted an on-time arrival rate of 81.4 percent, up from 79.9 percent in 2015. The reporting carriers posted an on-time arrival rate of 75.6 percent in December 2016, down from both the 77.8 percent on-time rate in December 2015 and the 86.5 percent mark in November 2016.
In December, airlines reported 21 tarmac delays of more than three hours on domestic flights and three tarmac delays of more than four hours on international flights. Fourteen of the long domestic delays involved Frontier Airlines and took place in Denver during a snowstorm on December 16 and 17. In 2016, there were 84 domestic flights with tarmac delays longer than three hours and 36 international flights with tarmac delays longer than four hours at U.S. airports. All reported extended tarmac delays are being investigated by the Department.
Chronically Delayed Flights
At the end of December, there were no flights that were chronically delayed – more than 30 minutes late more than 50 percent of the time – for two consecutive months or more. A list of flights that were chronically delayed for a single month is available from BTS.
Causes of Flight Delays
In December, the carriers filing on-time performance data reported that 24.38 percent of their flights were delayed – 6.70 percent of their flights were delayed by aviation system delays, compared to 4.43 percent in November; 8.46 percent by late-arriving aircraft, compared to 4.51 percent in November; 6.59 percent by factors within the airline's control, such as maintenance or crew problems, compared to 3.83 percent in November; 0.70 percent by extreme weather, compared to 0.26 percent in November; and 0.04 percent for security reasons, compared to 0.03 percent in November. In addition, 1.62 percent of flights were canceled and 0.27 percent were diverted.
Weather is a factor in both the extreme-weather category and the aviation-system category. This includes delays due to the re-routing of flights by DOT's Federal Aviation Administration in consultation with the carriers involved. Weather is also a factor in delays attributed to late-arriving aircraft, although airlines do not report specific causes in that category.
BTS uses the data collected from airlines to determine the percentage of late flights delayed by weather, which includes those reported in the categories of extreme weather, late-arriving aircraft, and National Aviation System delays. In December, 28.36 percent of late flights were delayed by weather, down from 32.77 percent in December 2015 and from 29.36 percent in November 2016.
Detailed information on flight delays and their causes is available from BTS.
Incidents Involving Animals
In December, carriers reported five incidents involving the death, injury, or loss of an animal while traveling by air, up from the four reports filed in both December 2015 and in November 2016. December's incidents involved the deaths of three animals and injuries to two other animals. For all of last year, carriers reported 26 animal deaths, injuries to 22 other animals, and no lost animals, for a total of 48 incidents, down from the 63 total incident reports filed for calendar year 2015.
The ATCR also introduces data about the total number of animals transported by airlines during the calendar year. In 2015, 534,537 animals were transported, for a rate of 1.18 incidents per 10,000 animals transported. In 2016, 523,743 animals were transported, for a rate of 0.92 incidents per 10,000 animals transported.
Complaints About Airline Service
For all of last year, the Department received 17,904 complaints, down 11.3 percent from the total of 20,175 received in 2015. In December, the U.S. Department of Transportation received 1,726 complaints about airline service from consumers, up 10.2 percent from the total of 1,566 filed in December 2015 and up 69.2 percent from the 1,020 received in November 2016.
Complaints About Treatment of Disabled Passengers
The report also contains a tabulation of complaints filed with DOT in December against airlines regarding the treatment of passengers with disabilities. The Department received a total of 58 disability-related complaints in December, down from both the 83 complaints received in December 2015 and the 73 complaints received in November 2016. For all of last year, the Department received 862 disability complaints, down 8.7 percent from the total of 944 received in 2015. All complaints alleging discrimination on the basis of disability are investigated.
Complaints About Discrimination
In December, the Department received five complaints alleging discrimination – four complaints regarding race and one complaint regarding religion. This is equal to the total of five recorded in December 2015, but down from the 14 recorded in November 2016. For all of last year, the Department received 94 discrimination complaints – 65 complaints regarding race, 12 complaints regarding national origin, two complaints regarding color, eight complaints regarding religion, and seven complaints regarding sex. This is an increase of 44.6 percent from the total of 65 filed in 2015.

New Secretary General of International Theological Commission
Saint Thomas and the historical method
Named today by the Holy Father to fill the spot left by the new Bishop of Lausanne, Geneva and Fribourg (Bp. Charles Morerod, O.P.), Fr. Serge-Thomas Bonino, O.P., of the Institut Catholique de Toulouse, France, and director of the venerable Revue Thomiste. The region of Toulouse is, of course, the site of the first Dominican foundations - and the city itself is where the relics of the Angelic Doctor are located.
In the year 2000, Fr. Bonino gave the following interview to a Dutch Thomist institute:
What are you doing at this moment?
Since 1990 I teach at the faculty of philosophy of the Catholic University of Toulouse where I was recently elected as dean (June 1999). My regular teaching is on the history of medieval doctrines - from Saint Augustine to Nicholas of Cusa ! - and also on themes that revolve around the philosophical theology of Saint Thomas.
I am also director of studies at the theological studium of the Dominicans in Toulouse and this involves the teaching of some treatises of dogmatic theology. Furthermore, in 1995 we established, with a number of Dominican fellow brothers, the 'Institut Saint-Thomas d'Aquin' (of Toulouse) which wants to be a centre of advanced studies in saint Thomas and the Thomistic tradition in the French-speaking regions. I teach there the history of Thomism and also some treatises from the Prima Pars.
Finally, since 1991, I am director of the venerable journal Revue Thomiste, which celebrated its centennial in 1993. This responsibility has the advantage of putting me into contact with a number of scholars who promote Thomistic studies.
What research on Aquinas are you doing now?
The major part of my work consists in preparing (and improving) courses! I also spend much time on the book reviews for the Revue Thomiste. In particular, I try to make up, on a regular basis, a Thomistica chronicle which presents recent work and publications on Saint Thomas and the Thomistic tradition.
I have been working for several years now on a fundamental study on the history of Thomistic tradition in the Middle Ages, which I hope will end up sooner or later as a book on the subject. It is within this perspective that in 1996 I organised a conference on 'Saint Thomas in the 14th century' in Toulouse. I am, in fact, convinced that the massive rejection of the 'commentators' by mid-20th century Thomism - even if it has good and multiple reasons for doing so - ignores, however, the fundamentally 'traditional' character of all exercise of thought, and especially, of Thomistic thought. Certainly, when it is about interpreting saint Thomas, nothing surpasses the direct reading of texts, but when it is about elaborating for today a way of thinking that is inspired by Thomas, it is difficult to economise on critical references to the living tradition, both doctrinal and institutional, which makes up the 'Thomistic School'.
This rejection of the 'commentators' leaves unexplored the historico-doctrinal study of Thomistic traditions: it is so to say a virgin and totally fascinating path that opens up to the doctrinal historian.
At present, I am preparing a new version of the translation of the treatises on creation and on evil in the Summa Theologiae and also a paper on the question of the limbos in saint Thomas for the conference that the 'Institut Saint-Thomas de Toulouse' organises on May 26-27, 2000, around the theme of the supernatural. It seems to me that the theory of the limbos, generally held during the 13th century, offers an interesting clarification for determining the precise nature of the natural longing to see God: indeed, on the one hand, the unbaptized children that have died lack the vision of the divine essence, but on the other hand, it has to be maintained that they do not suffer (and that they are happy?).
What is the most important thing you learned from Aquinas?
Saint Thomas is an old friend of mine. I started to frequent him since the age of 17. Trained in a secular school milieu, I soon discovered the need to appeal to a structured and structuring Christian way of thinking. And I have not been disappointed.
Probably, Saint Thomas has not given me the answers to all questions, but he has taught me - at least, I hope so - to pose the philosophical and theological problems correctly and to place them in an overall perspective. I think that if he had not been a theologian, Saint Thomas would probably have been an architect: he has the genius of order, of architectonics.
Furthermore, I remain profoundly attracted to the forma mentis that is typical of scholasticism: to seek conceptual clarity and precision, to exercise thought with constant reference to a cumulative tradition of interpretation.
I also appreciate more and more the 'catholic' spirit of saint Thomas, that is to say, his concern not to lose something of the truth wherever it may be, to integrate that part of the truth that is present with the opponens.
Whom do you consider to be your most important teacher in your thomistic education?
During my first years of Dominican religious life, I was fortunate to meet two masters in Thomism: Father M.-M. Labourdette, who is the author of a monumental commentary on the whole of the Secunda Pars and Father M.-V. Leroy, who taught dogmatic theology, but who, unfortunately, wrote very little. Both of them were profoundly marked by the friendship and the intellectual influence of 'Jacques', that is, of Jacques Maritain.
They have passed on to me and to my Dominican fellow brothers from Toulouse, the doctrinal and institutional heritage of the venerable Thomistic school of Saint-Maximin. It is, in my view, a great privilege to be able to join in this way a living doctrinal tradition.
It is true that the masters of Saint-Maximin - without being hostile to it - were hardly sensitive to the historical approach to the works of Saint Thomas. While working in Fribourg (Switzerland) with Father Jean-Pierre Torrell and Professor Rudi Imbach, whose assistant I had the chance to be for one year, I become more and more convinced of the importance of the application of the historical method to saint Thomas.
What works of Aquinas are you most familiar with?
As it is for most Thomists, the Summa Theologiae is my basic book, but the historical approach to the work of Saint Thomas clearly demands that it be used in relation to the whole of the 'Thomasian' corpus.
When I worked on my thesis, under Father Torrell, on the second question of De Veritate (De scientia Dei), to which I wanted to propose a reading guide, I was led to scrutinise the whole of the disputed questions.
Should I state that the preacher, which I am by profession, is also very well nourished by the scriptural commentaries of Saint Thomas?
What is the importance of Aquinas-research for our times (especially in your discipline)?
It seems to me that Saint Thomas offers today an adequate model concerning the way of doing theology. Five points seem to me of special importance:
(1) the privileged instrument of the intellectus fidei is a philosophy of being
(2) Theology is the work of intelligence. It does not fear to have recourse to the concept
(3) The theologian elaborates his own doctrine in an ongoing confrontation with the preceding theological tradition. Contrary to the artificial opposition between the quid homines senserunt and the veritas rerum which a certain kind of Thomism wanted to establish, the theological practice of saint Thomas attests that the quid homines senserunt is the privileged way to the veritas rerum.
(4) Theology has a sapiential vocation. The intellectus fidei aims at a contemplative synthesis that is not content with the fragmentation of theological disciplines.
(5) Doing theology presupposes a permanent contact with the living sources of faith (Scripture, Tradition, the life of the Church) and shows itself to be a source of spiritual life.

Geremia 9:00 PM
Two things worry me about this: (1) He is a Maritainian, and (2) he has "become more and more convinced of the importance of the application of the historical method to saint Thomas."
Aren't New Theologians also obsessed with the relativistic "historical method"? Fr. Torell, in his biography of St. Thomas, even accuses St. Thomas of having no historical sense. Viz., St. Thomas was not a relativist; any attempt to make him so is not Thomistic.
Some other red flags: "living tradition" and "natural longing to see God"
I know Fr. Bonino. He is very very traditional. This is an excellent choice. Unexpected, but excellent. He is a friend of Tradition. And after all, a friend of Tradition knows history.
New Catholic 10:51 PM
Anonymous, please repost your comment with a name, any name. We in Rorate never affirmed anything about Father Bonino.
Sobieski 12:18 AM
I agree that we could do with less Gilson whom Fr. Bonino is most likely referring to. According to Gilson, the Dominican commentatorial tradition knew little about the central importance of St. Thomas's doctrine of the actus essendi, so he had little regard for it. I'm not a big fan of Maritain either, though I've read less of him. My impression is that he tries to blend a type of personalism with Thomism, at least in his political doctrine. Gilson and Maritain were to some degree concerned with making St. Thomas relevant, but in my view, they are more faithful than the Jesuit Transcendental Thomist tradition, which embraces a less literal reading of St. Thomas for harmonizing his thinking with modern philosophy (i.e., Kant). For those interested, Edward Feser has a brief and interesting history of Thomism on his website (Part 1, Part 2).
On another note, the reason St. Thomas wasn't into history is because in his view, as well as that of Plato and Aristotle, there can be no science of the historical. Science concerns what is necessary and universal, whereas history concerns what is contingent and singular (i.e., historical events). History might be useful for doing philosophy insofar as it assists the philosopher in understanding the mind of a certain writer, but ultimately science for St. Thomas is about pursuing truth, not what someone said. I think there can be instrumental value in historical studies and method, but all one has to do is consider scholars like Fr. Raymond Brown to be concerned. I would think and hope Dominicans like Frs. Torrell and Bonino are much better.
Finally, I don't think there is enough information in the interview to determine whether Fr. Bonino is traditional on the point about the natural desire for God. I think the Thomistic view is that such a desire is elicited based on natural knowledge of God as a first cause, whereas others like De Lubac say it is innate. Though I haven't had the chance to read it yet, I've heard that an excellent defense of the Thomistic position has been written by Lawrence Feingold in The Natural Desire to See God According to St. Thomas and His Interpreters.
Lee Faber 5:06 AM
I don't think there is anything particularly relativistic about the historical method as applied to medieval theology and philosophy. All it means is paying attention to context. Aquinas didn't write in a vacuum, and he wasn't in dialogue only with Augustine and Aristotle. The H-C method means reading Aquinas, but also Bonaventure, Albert hte Great, Gerard of Abbevile, and so on.
Aric 5:18 PM
The commentatorial position on the natural desire to see God IS the traditional position.
Real Catholic 5:20 PM
Oh, how horrible! What we really need in theology is an unreconstructed manualist who will parrot all the rigid formulas developed by Jesuits in the 19th century. Then we will have a true revival of theology.
The appointment proves that Vatican II is the work of the devil. Let's face it, only a few of us, even on this blog are REAL CATHOLICS. This appointment proves that the Novus Ordo Church is nothing but a haven of Modernists.

Romualdus 6:39 PM
"living tradition" and "natural longing to see God" is not the only red flags.
How about:
"The theologian elaborates his own doctrine in an ongoing confrontation with the preceding theological tradition.".
Of course HE is the theologian. And the five points of special importance are nothing but obfusication at its best.
Now, Fr. Benedict de Jorna SSPX, Superior of the of Franch District, wrote:
"Modernists are not concerned with true knowledge but rather with feelings [sentiments] and immanence - i.e., the teaching that the foundation of faith must be sought in an internal sense which arises from man's need of God."
Is not this "need of God" the "natural longing to see God" we find under Fr. Bonino's five points of special importance?
One characteristic of Thomistic scholars is a desire for true knowledge. In his interview, Fr. Bonino neither mentions nor expresses any such desire. He only exudes a cleverly concealed self. Pride! And in Pascendi St. Pius X shows pride as the cause of modernism.
Make no mistake, Fr. Serge-Thomas Bonino is a dyed-in-the-wool modernist/progressivist.

Awesome! And 100# true.
That goes for the whole of the Vatican, and nearly all bishops ,priests, and nuns.

Sobieski: Thanks for this link. Who gets the dough from sales of this mug and the other UOM paraphernalia? I'd like to know before I buy, just in case this is some Maryknoller or U.S. Bishops Conference sucker ploy.
Reluctant Pessimist 1:13 AM
Alan Aversa, Sobieski, and Romualdus: May I add another red flag to your list? Father Bonino begins the fifth of his five points with "doing theology," an expression eerily reminiscent of the Cambridge analytic philosophers of a century ago and their description of what they were up to as "doing philosophy," a turn of phrase then new to that discipline's vocabulary.
Unless Fr. Bonino is here the victim of a translator (not an impossibility, of course), his lapse into such an odd formula—odd for a Thomist, certainly—ought to give one pause and should at the very least have prompted a question from his interlocutor.
Sobieski 1:39 AM
Mr. Putnam,
The original reference to this paraphernalia was on Fr. Z's blog. I assume the proceeds go to him or a charity.

Luca Gili 8:36 AM
I am a Dominican friar, who is writing his dissertation on St. Thomas, and I hardly see how the historical approach to his texts may lead to relativism - that we all reject.
The historical study simply involves a certain attention to the sources, to the texts (with their variants etc.) and, more generally, to all that may bring a new light on what Aquinas really meant.
The alternative way (namely, not to care about historical context) may be misleading. Of course, we should compare Aquinas's thought with contemporary philosophy, in order to judge the latter etc., but the historical approach is preliminary to this second task. How can you use Aquinas for arguing in favor or agaist some topics at issue, if you don't know what he thought?
Yes, one may wonder whether fr. Bonino's approach entails a certain (negative) prejudice against a competitive approach to Aquinas, which pays more attentions to his philosophical arguments, and which is more common in the English speaking sholarship- however, I really can't see how the historical approach may still be regarded with suspect and fear.
Luca Gili op
Doc 10:49 AM
I don't think there's anything wrong with the idea of a natural desire to see God. St. Bernard taught that infants desired God the same way they desired their mother.
The human race has a common end or destiny (cf. Pius XII Summi Pontificatus 38, 45). The natural desire for God is merely evidence of this.
That being said, this natural desire is not enough for salvation--the desire sufficient for salvation must be motivated by supernatural faith.
Affirming a natural desire for God does not necessarily mean modernism any more than affirming man's natural hunger for food means man will create his own food within himself as a result of this desire or that any substance at all can be consumed healthily.
Modernism is not the affirmation of man's need of God. Modernism is drawing a false conclusion from this premise.
As an aside, I understand a lot of people have been hurt by churchmen and it is very easy to allow ones heart to be clouded by suspicion. But it isn't spiritually healthy to be a heresy hunter and try and ferret out any possible thing that could be interpreted as heresy in another's statements.
St. Vincent Ferrer says when something is ambiguous and if there is any possibility at all of interpreting it in a good manner, we must. He gives the very example of Our Lord, Who, when accused of being a Samaritan and having a devil, only denies having a devil. St. Vincent points out that His accuser most likely had malicious intent and meant a heretic with the word Samaritan. However, since Samaritan can also be interpreted as a watchman, Our Lord does not deny it since He could rightly be considered a watchman.
I don't get the impression from this interview alone that Fr. Bonino is a progressive or modernist. It seems to me that he is saying theology (1) uses a realist, as opposed to an idealist or materialist, metaphysic, presumably Thomistic, as an instrument to elucidate its subject matter, namely God and creatures related to him. (2) It proceeds with a realist epistemology which holds for knowledge as being conceptual (i.e., as consisting of concepts and their relationships) and presumably grounded in reality (as opposed to the mind alone). (3) Here I take Fr. Bonino to be saying that theology is dialectical in the sense that it engages what has been previously said by other theologians or authorities as a way of refining or gaining a deeper insight into the truth of the matter. "Dialectic" could be interpreted negatively as Hegelian, I suppose, but dialetics as used by Aristotle (or Socrates and Plato for that matter), for example, was a survey of opinions on a subject matter for the purpose of arriving at the principles of a science. Once the principles are determined, then scientific demonstration (in theory) proceeds from the principles. It seems to me that St. Thomas proceeds in this manner in the Summa Theologiae, for example, by raising objections, citing authorities, giving his reasoned account and then responding to objections. (5) A part of theology is to engage current day issues or consider current Magisterial teaching. Again, one could interpret his statement here as historicist or relativistic, but it is true that new issues come up in the course of human events, and theological principles have to be applied to those situations (e.g., licitness of the use of nuclear weapons, feminism, proportionalism, etc.). Again, this could be interpreted in a historicist or relativistic way, but I would give Fr. Bonino the benefit of the doubt unless he says or does something to the contrary.
I agree with Friar Luca that the historical method is valuable insofar as it may enable one to better understand a writer's meaning and intention. Gilson was an advocate of historical studies, as well, so the history of philosophy is not foreign to the English speaking world. Granted, analytic philosophy, which is mostly an Anglo phenomenon, can be woefully ignorant of the history of philosophy and rather closed in on itself, but I would say it is just the opposite in English-speaking Catholic circles today. If anything, we could probably do with less bickering over what people said and engage in more theologizing and philosophizing. The great Garrigou-Lagrange comes to mind here. For all of Gilson's historical studies, I think he sometimes muddied the waters more than clarified things (e.g., "Christian philosophy" debate, the debate over the grounding of metaphysics, etc.). Again, while I think historical studies can be useful for elucidating St. Thomas's thought, they are not primary. Like St. Thomas said, the most important thing is truth, not what someone said. I think historians can get too caught up in the latter to the detriment of arriving at the former. History proceeds with facts accepted on authority, which are considered through an interpretive lense. What principles are in play? Naturalistic ones, like those used by Brown or Bultmann, for example, should certainly be avoided.
Finally, a danger with the natural desire for God, if meant by that a natural desire for God as our supernatural end, is that the distinction between grace and nature and the gratuity of grace is destroyed. If I am not mistaken and someone can correct me if I'm wrong, De Lubac held that we have an innate natural desire for God as our supernatural end, which is problematic. Contrary to this, the traditional Thomistic position is that a natural desire for God can be understood as something elicited from our natural knowledge of God as the first principle. This knowledge arouses a desire to know more about this being, though it is ultimately beyond the capacity of our nature to attain without the aid of Divine Revelation and the unmerited gift of God's grace. So while speaking about a natural desire to know God is certainly Thomistic and not necessarily modernist, it has to be understood in such a way as to maintain the distinction between grace and nature and the gratuity of grace. It's my understanding that the book I referenced above gives a good survey of the debate and defense of the traditional Thomistic teaching on the matter. Another book that I have not read, but have heard is informative is The Natural Desire for God by William O'Connor.
Luca Gili 10:14 AM
@Sobieski.
I can't say to have read much of fr. Bonino's work, but my impression was, on the contrary, that he is a rather 'traditional' Thomist.
As far as the question of the 'desiderium naturale videndi Deum' is concerned, it should be reminded that Aquinas merely says that from the effects of God's creative act, we naturally desire to see the cause, namely we naturally want to see God. 'to see God' is of course something supernatural, but we desire it naturally, for the above reason (and only if that would be possible, Thomists add). From that, De Lubac inferred in his 'Surnaturel' that Aquinas too implicitly holds that we have some natural power or disposition to the acquisition of grace. Of course, this is not Aquinas's doctrine at all, as Sobieski rightly notes.
Gilson is rather confused, I agree, but my impression is that English-speaking scholarship (I think to scholars like Brian Davies, John Wippel, Eleanore Stump) is perfectly aware of this; fr. Bonino is unfortunately more influenced by Gilson's views, even when it is more difficult to defend them (one example: Aquinas is merely a theologian, and not a philosopher too: both Gilson and Bonino maintain this, which seems to me completely misleading, even though it could have some justification in Gilson's idea of a 'Crhsitian philosophy' - there is certainly a lack of historical evidence for this claim, though some celebrated scholars like fr. Gauthier defended this view too). However, this does not make him 'a modernist', but, again, has instead a rather 'traditional' fashion.
Yes, I agree that Gilson's notion of "Christian philosophy" is confused insofar as he says, for example, that the supernatural must become a "constituent element" of a Christian philosophy. Well, if that is the case, he would appear to be theologizing philosophy, even though he probably didn't intend to do that. I think the Catholic faith would be better considered as a guide or context for philosophy without contributing principles. If philosophy becomes based on what is accepted on the authority of God in faith, then it is no longer philosophy.
I do think, however, that St. Thomas was primarily a theologian and not a philosopher. Since a science is distinguished by the formality under which it considers its subject-matter (e.g., material being vs. quantified being vs. being qua being), both philosophy and theology can consider the same subject-matter. As a result, theology can proceed according to its own method and under its own formality (i.e., God and creatures related to Him vs. being qua being and its ontological principles) and consider (in part) the same subject matter as philosophy. Further, since it is the chief science, it can use philosophy as an instrument. So while the arguments in the Summa Theologiae are theological, some of them, namely those available to reason, could also be developed in philosophy as well and have been. Examples would be proofs for the existence of God, enumeration of the Divine attributes, the consideration of natural law, etc. On the other hand, St. Thomas did write commentaries on Aristotle and works like On the Principles of Nature, so he did engage in philosophy as well.
In any event, I am not familiar with Fr. Bonino either, but the placement of a traditional Dominican and Thomist as Secretary General of the ITC would be good thing. It is noteworthy too because my understanding is that Pope Benedict is more of an Augustinian. I am also glad that Fr. Bonino wants to revive interest in the Dominican Thomist tradition.
For all his outwardly traditionalist appearance Fr. Bonino does not abode good, if we carefully look at some of the statements that he made during his interview.
"Trained in a secular school milieu, I soon discovered the need to appeal to a structured and structuring Christian way of thinking."
Fr. Bonino, was never led by a love or thirst for knowledge and truth, but by a mere need to fulfil some sort of longing or feeling, if you like.
"Probably, Saint Thomas has not given me the answers to all questions but he has taught me to pose the philosophical and theological problems correctly and to place them in an overall perspective."
The monumental genius of the angelic doctor, St. Thomas, which has provided answers to fundamentally difficult philosophical and theological problems through out the history of the Church, and whose teachings, St. Pius X, declared must be the foundation of all newly formed priests, is just not good enough for Fr. Bonino. He can barely conceal his contempt for St. Thomas whose teachings he probably seeks to "reform". Modernists are "reformers" and Fr. Bonino is a Modernist.
But, to hear Fr. Bonino talk like this about the angelic doctor in which he seems to have been able to discover so much that is lacking, one would imagine that before him, nobody ever even glanced through the pages of the Summa. Whereas the truth is that a whole multitude of bishops, priests, monks, and scholars, infinitely superior to Fr. Bonino in genius, erudition, sanctity, have sifted the Books of St. Thomas in every way, and so far from finding imperfections in them, have thanked God more and more the deeper they have gone into them, for His divine bounty in having vouchsafed to speak thus to men. Unfortunately, these great Doctors did not enjoy the same aids to study that are possessed by the Modernists for their guide and rule i.e. the historical method - a philosophy borrowed from the negation of God, and a criterion which consists of themselves. This is nothing but pure unmitigated PRIDE!
"I also appreciate more and more the 'catholic' spirit of saint Thomas, that is to say, his concern not to lose something of the truth wherever it may be, to integrate that part of the truth that is present with the opponens."
Modernists assert that something of the truth can be found in other faiths, false as they may be. Fr. Bonino is clearly promoting religious syncretism here. Can you see that.
"During my first years of Dominican religious life, I was fortunate to meet two masters in Thomism: Father M.M. Labourdette, and Father M.V. Leroy. Both of them were profoundly marked by the friendship and the intellectual influence of Jacques Maritain."
Jacques Maritain, raised Protestant and later converted to Catholicism, was a prominent drafter of The Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Now, this alone speaks volumes but suffice to say that this nefarious document enshrines the creature's declaration of independence from the Creator. Drafted by the leaders of Judaism and Freemasonry it is basically a collective cry of Non Serviam.
As can be cleary deduced, Jacques Maritain brought with him into the Catholic Church his protestant spirit of rebellion.

The ocean's ability to absorb harmful C02 fluctuates over time, study finds
More research on the ocean's changing carbon sink is needed to make climate predictions more accurately.

New research digs into how the ocean's processes for absorbing carbon change over time, and how they might affect its ability to buffer climate change
For Timothy DeVries, an oceanographer at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and graduate student Michael Nowicki, gaining a good understanding of the trends in the ocean's carbon cycle is key to improving current models of carbon uptake by the Earth's oceans. This information could, in turn, yield better climate predictions.
The rate at which CO2 was accumulating in the atmosphere doesn't necessarily track emissions.
"We started off looking at the rate at which CO2was accumulating in the atmosphere, and then we compared that to the rate of emissions," DeVries says. "One would expect basically that if you're increasing emissions at 10 percent, the accumulation rate in the atmosphere should increase at 10 percent, for example.
"But what we found is that the rate at which CO2 was accumulating in the atmosphere doesn't necessarily track emissions," he continues. Indeed, after looking at two decades' worth of carbon emissions versus atmospheric carbon accumulation data, the researchers came away with some counterintuitive results.
Comparing decades
"We saw in the 1990s that the accumulation rate in the atmosphere was increasing quite fast, whereas the emissions weren't increasing very quickly at all," DeVries says. "Whereas the opposite was true in the 2000s when the emissions increased quite substantially, but the accumulation rate in the atmosphere was steady."
That variability, the researchers say, is due in part to the ocean's carbon-absorbing activities, a range of physical and biological processes that move carbon from the surface to depth. Up to 40 percent of the decadal variability of CO2 accumulation in the atmosphere can be attributed to how quickly the ocean takes up carbon; the rest can be attributed to activities in the terrestrial biosphere.
"We used a few different methods that estimate how quickly the CO2 is accumulating in the ocean, and basically they all agreed that the ocean was absorbing CO2 slower in the 1990s, which is why it accumulated faster in the atmosphere," DeVries says. "And the ocean was absorbing CO2 faster in the 2000s, so it accumulated slower in the atmosphere."
Dynamic carbon dioxide absorption
The results in this paper underscore just how dynamic the ocean is, with any number of factors influencing its ability to act as a carbon sink, the researchers say. Among the primary physical factors that drive oceanic carbon absorption is ocean circulation—CO2 is absorbed into surface water which then sinks as the currents take it to cooler parts of the world, sequestering the greenhouse gas away from the atmosphere.
Both natural and anthropogenic warming could affect the deep ocean currents, which differences in water density drive (cold, dense water sinks while warm water is less dense and rises), in effect, slowing these currents down, decreasing the rate at which carbon is absorbed and making the ocean less efficient as a carbon sink in the long term. Similarly, other natural phenomena such as El Niño and volcanic eruptions have the power to change temperatures and wind patterns which could, in turn, affect ocean currents.
How will climate change affect life in the oceans?
Understanding the role of oceans in climate change
The good news is that climate models generally have been pointing in the correct direction.
"It was interesting to see that the ocean models got the trend generally, but the magnitude was smaller (than what was noted in the observations)," Nowicki says. "But that brings up the next question: Why is that?"
"We need to do more research to look at what's driving this variability," says DeVries, who makes the distinction between climate variability—relatively short-term fluctuations from the general trend—and climate change, a long-term trend in which the climate enters a new mean state, a "new normal." Capturing the ocean's changing carbon sink in models, the researchers say, will lead to more accurate climate predictions.

Butternut squash is part of the winter squash family, which also includes such favorites as the spaghetti squash, acorn squash, delicata squash, and of course pumpkins. It's usually one of the last plants harvested from my garden, generally at the same time that I'm cutting pumpkins off the vines for the front step.
Since it's one of the last crops in the garden, I find it suiting to always make it one of the last foods on my grill before winter comes. I never quite found an amazing recipe for butternut squash by itself, so I've resorted to making a sort-of-salad kind of side dish. It's not REALLY a salad, but it has some green leaves in it, so it can pass as one.
Incorporating the arugula that I'm harvesting at this time of year, plus a nice big red onion from earlier in the season, gives me the satisfaction of eating the food that I've grown throughout the year. Yes, there are also cranberries in this recipe. No, I did not grow the cranberries. Though I may try one year.
This recipe pairs PERFECTLY with a nice grilled pork chop, or some herb roasted chicken. If you don't have the 3 main ingredients in your garden, hit the local farmers' market.
1 ) Cut the squash into 'grill-able' sized slices, between 1/2 and 3/4 inches thick. If you're comfortable with the terms 'cauliflower steak,' and 'cabbage steak,' go ahead and call these 'squash steaks.' I, however, am not a fan of the trend. I call them what they are. Squash slices.
2 ) Brush some oil onto both sides of each squash slice. Crack some pepper and sea salt onto them, and dash a little bit of paprika on as well. If you want to spice it up a bit, hit it with some chili powder, or cayenne.
3 ) Cut the onion in half. Peel off the outermost layer. Score the cut sides of the onion - this will help after it's grilled. It's much easier to cut raw than when it's cooked. Be sure not to score so deep that you cut through the onion, which will make it difficult to handle on the grill.
4 ) Brush some oil onto the onion halves, crack some pepper and sea salt onto them, and dash a little bit of garlic powder on as well.
5 ) Grill the squash slices and onion halves on medium heat. If it's too hot, you'll burn the squash. If it's not hot enough, the squash won't cook through and will be hard.
Onion Grilling Tip: The onions will do well if you put them cut-side down first. When you go to flip them, slide one end of your tongs under them, and grip the top and bottom. If you try to squeeze from the sides, the layers will start popping out.
6 ) After a few minutes, flip over the thinnest squash slice to see what kind of grill marks you're working with. If it looks good, flip them all over. if it's burned, flip them all over and turn the heat down. If it barely looks like it's changed color, leave them and crank the heat up a bit.
7 ) When the 'steaks' are looking perfect, remove them from the grill and get them back on the cutting board quickly. You want to keep them hot. Cube up the squash and onions.
8 ) While still hot, toss in a large bowl with the arugula, cranberries, a bit of oil and some more salt and pepper. If you took too long cubing the squash, wrap some aluminum foil on the bowl to keep things hot for awhile before serving.
For best results, serve while warm. It's OK cold, but so much better warm.


A personal flotation device (abbreviated as PFD; also referred to as a life jacket, life preserver, life belt, Mae West, life vest, life saver, cork jacket, buoyancy aid or flotation suit) is a piece of equipment designed to assist a wearer to keep afloat in water.The wearer may be either conscious or unconscious. PFDs are available in different sizes to accommodate variations in body weight.
Dissolved air flotation (DAF) is a water treatment process for removing oils, solids, and greases from a water supply. The process helps clarify wastewaters by eliminating different types of suspended matter. DAF dissolves air in pressurized water then releases it at atmospheric pressure.
Within these categories, you can get all sorts of different types of life jackets. So, on the subject of flotation devices for boats, we will only summarize a couple options for you. Types of Personal Flotation Devices For Boats. To start, there are inflatable PFDs.
Types I, II or III may be inherently buoyant, that is, they will float without action by the wearer, or they may be inflatable (oral and manual inflation at a minimum), or a combination of both (hybrid). Currently, all USCG approved inflatable PFDs are Type IIIs with manual inflation.
I saw three private rooms with three different types of flotation apparatuses a tank, a cabin, and a pod. My boyfriend took the cabin, which was suggested because it's a bit more spacious. Russ could control the sound and light from the outside.
Different types flotation devices provide different levels of buoyancy, measured as the force in pounds it adds to a user's personal buoyancy. Types of Flotation Devices Flotation devices are split in different groups by their potential uses.
SF flotation cell is a mechanical agitation type flotation equipment with. Different Types of Flotation Cells 911 Metallurgist. Mar 17, 2017 . Flotation is both a science and an art. It brings together many complex variables. Such basic factors as knowledge of mineral structure,.
TYPE I Offshore Life Jackets These vests are geared for rough or remote waters where rescue may take awhile. They provide the most buoyancy, are excellent for flotation, and will turn most unconscious persons face up in the water.
Froth flotation is a very important mineral concentration process that is used to recover a vast array of different minerals containing valuable commodities such as copper, lead, zinc, nickel, molybdenum, tungsten, silver, gold, phosphate and potash.
Tanks, pods, cabins and open tubs are all different designs. Narrow, rectangular tanks have been around the longest, and Oasis and Samadhi (1) (both made in the U.S.) are the names most associated with this style. You enter this tank by bending through a hatch at one end and sitting in the water; these tanks are not large enough to stand in.
Types of Flotation Systems Basically, there are 3 different dissolved air flotation systems combining various clarification technologies. Depending on the type of feed waste streams, selection can vary in order to suit the processes.
Table 4 shows the zinc grade and the flotation recovery, in terms of the quantity of MM, EM and HM at pH 9. Figure 8 illustrates the zinc grade and flotation recovery using different types of mercaptans at different pH. Figure 9 depicts the collecting time vs. recovery with HM concentration 600 g/t at pH 9.

Q: Are Objects the Same in Objective-C as They are in PHP? I am about to start learning Objective-C and I was wondering whether or not the concepts are the same as with PHP. For example, are the concepts in Object Oriented PHP the same as Objective-C, such as "Class, Instance, Message, Method, Instance Variable, Inheritance, Superclass/Subclass, and Protocol"? If so, this will I am guessing it will be much easier for me to learn and grasp since I already know the basics and foundations of Object Oriented PHP. Or are they completely different from each other?
Any help and advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

A: They are basically the same idea, but not implementation, since most of those are CS theory concepts. Messages and protocols don't exist in PHP. PHP has what most languages call an interface which is akin to a protocol in Objective-C.

A: All "propper" OO language constructs should be essentially the same. They should always have all of, or a sub section of the the following (and probably more).

*

*class / object (completely different)

*method (vs function)

*method visibility/access control (public, private, protected)

*constructor

*static/class variables & methods

*destructor/finalizer

*inheritance (and often, multiple inheritance)

*interface/protocol

*abstract class

*overriding

*overloading

there are plenty more terms to do with things that are more conceptual rather than language features, but that's a short (and reasonably incomplete) list of some things that you should know for programming in ANY OO language worth it's salt.
There's a nice little list of terms on Wikipedia to help if you'd like.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_object-oriented_programming_terms
I'd suggest reading about the terms above, as well as

*

*Instance variables

*Polymorphism

*Composition

*Encapsulation

If you know your defenitions of OO, moving from one language to the next is far simpler, because you will have a very wide base to stand on and only have to learn subtle differences (as with learning any new language after knowing a few, but more so with OO concepts).

A: The short answer is "Yes."  The medium-length answer has been written by Apple, and you can read it here:
http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/OOP_ObjC/Introduction/Introduction.html

Do you need a way to handle event registrations? Are you looking to collect information without using snail mail? Using an RSVP form can simplify your event management needs.
In this article, we'll show you how to create an RSVP form in WordPress.
Why Use an RSVP Form?
Your time is limited. Spending time opening letters in the mail, jotting down the details, and then compiling all the data together isn't efficient.
Not to mention, making the RSVP process easier for your guests should be your top priority. You'll get a higher response rate by sharing a link to confirm rather than tasking them to send their replies via snail mail.
If you have a WordPress site, you can quickly get all the information you need in an organized format with an online RSVP form.
Birthday party – Get a quick headcount of attendees.
Wedding – Ask for additional details like meal preferences.
Business event – Accept registrations and even sell tickets on your RSVP form.
So, let's see how to create an RSVP form in WordPress.
Using WPForms is the easiest way to create an online RSVP form in WordPress. WPForms comes with the Form Templates Pack addon that allows you to choose from a huge variety of pre-built templates for every niche and industry, including tons of different online RSVP form templates.
To do this, go to WPForms » Add New and name your form. Then, scroll down to the section labeled Additional Templates and type "RSVP" into the search bar.
In our example, we'll choose the Birthday Party Invitation RSVP Form.
How many people are you going to bring?
Then, click on the field to make any changes. You can also click on a form field and drag it to rearrange the order on your RSVP form.
If your RSVP form is for a business event, you can request attendees to pay for their tickets when they RSVP.
WPForms allows you to accept payments on your forms using either Stripe or PayPal. You can read our documentation on how to allow users to choose a payment method if you want to use both integrations on your form.
When your RSVP form looks the way you want it to, click Save.
Spam Prevention. Enable the anti-spam honeypot feature to prevent spam form submissions and keep your website secure. This feature is automatically enabled on all WordPress forms. If you decide to use another form of spam prevention, you can either unclick this option or continue using this feature with other spam prevention features such as recaptcha.
GDPR Enhancements. You can disable the storing of entry information and user details, such as IP addresses and user agents, in an effort to comply with GDPR requirements. In addition, check out our step by step instructions on how to add a GDPR agreement field to your simple contact form.
Notifications are a great way to send an email whenever an order is submitted on your website.
In fact, unless you disable this feature, whenever someone submits an RSVP form on your site, you'll get a notification about it.
If you use smart tags, you can also send a notification to the site visitor when they RSVP to your event, letting them know you received their RSVP and will be in contact shortly. This assures people their form has gone through properly.
WPForms lets you notify the right person in your organization when an RSVP form is submitted. For instance, you can send a notification to yourself, your attendee, and the event coordinator in charge of meals.
Form confirmations are messages that display to site visitors once they submit an RSVP form on your website. They let people know that their form has been processed and offer you the chance to let them know what the next steps are.
Message. This is the default confirmation type in WPForms. When someone submits an RSVP form, a simple message confirmation will appear letting them know their form was processed. Look here for some great success messages to help boost customer happiness.
Show Page. This confirmation type will take site visitors to a specific web page on your site thanking them for their RSVP answer and telling them when you'll be in touch with help. For help doing this, check out our tutorial on redirecting customers to a thank you page. In addition, be sure to check out our article on creating effective Thank You pages for boosting customer loyalty.
Let's see how to set up a simple form confirmation in WPForms so you can customize the message site visitors will see when they RSVP to your event.
WPForms allows you to easily connect your WordPress form with your favorite third-party app using our Zapier addon. In fact, the Zapier addon lets you connect your WordPress forms to over 500+ web apps.
For example, you can connect your form with your Google Calendar with ease. That way, any time someone RSVP's to your event, the information on the form will automatically add to your calendar.
To see how to do this, check out this article on how to connect your form with Google Calendar.
After you've created an RSVP form, you need to add it to your WordPress website.
Next, select your order form in the modal popup and click Add Form.
Then, publish your post or page so your RSVP form will appear on your website.
And there you have it! You now know how to create an RSVP form in WordPress.
You can connect your RSVP forms with your email newsletter services such as AWeber, MailChimp, Constant Contact, GetResponse, Campaign Monitor, or Drip to automatically add new users to your email list and send out updates about your upcoming event.
Can you integrate a liability waiver into the form when someone registers or books an event?
This is for a place of business where we want our customers to book a party, invite their guests and sign a liability waiver per invitee.
Sure, you can definitely add an agreement like this to a form. If you check out our doc on adding terms of service, you'll see a couple of methods you could consider.
You could also add a Signature field, so the user could sign their name with their mouse/touch screen (this addon is included with our Pro license or higher).
Is it possible to create a drop down guest list so invitees can select their name and then either accept or decline?
Sure, you could create a dropdown field with a list of all of your guest's names. If this is a long list, you could use our Bulk Add tool to more easily add all names at the same time.
Is it possible to restrict the number of guests each company is registering for? For example, once five people from one company register, any additional people will be unable to register.
It sounds like our Form Locker addon might be helpful to you. With it, you can limit the number of forms that can be submitted (here's our tutorial with more details). So as long as you only allow one person to register per form, this would work just as you've described.


It's your choice because It's your data.
Tthe AuricVault® service allows you to have control over your data including when to render the sensitive information to accommodate your business practices .
Detokenization should be used cautiously and sparingly.
