Sometimes the choice whether to use the subjunctive or the indicative is not so clear. To a large extent, English speakers don't pay much attention to the subjunctive.
As long ago as 1926 H.W. Fowler called the subjunctive in English "moribund." He went further and suggested that it never was possible to draw up a consistent table of uses of the subjunctive in English that would correspond to such tables for Latin.
Although the subjunctive is not a big deal in English, some uses of it are still alive and not difficult to master.
If he was ill, no wonder he left the oysters untouched.
If I was unkind to you in those days, please forgive me.
If she was lost in the woods, no one can blame her for being late.
A — If Jane was right for the part, I'd cast her.
B — But that's the point. Is she right?
This example shows an intermingling of indicative and subjunctive to achieve nuances of meaning.
I'd take issue with the last two examples for mixing past and present time oddly – ISTM the indicative versions should be "if she was sensible she'd have ordered a background check" and either "if Jane was right for the part I would've cast her" or "if Jane was right for the part I'll cast her"; it doesn't make sense that if she was sensible (i.e., at some point in the past) she would order a background check (in the present); and in the second example either the speaker already knows whether or not Jane was right for the part (in which case he would have cast her, but she wasn't, so he didn't – he needs to speak in past time here), or he doesn't yet know (somebody else took her audition, for example, and he'll cast her or not based on that person's assessment, in which case he needs to speak in future time).
If she was sensible, she'd order a background check on him.
Peter, too, noticed that something was wrong with your example, although, unfortunately, his suggested reformulations introduced new problems, not the least of which was the omission of the necessary comma after the if-clause.
So, why avoid the subjunctive here, when it is clearly the best tool for the job?
Would that I were a younger man….
If he studied hard, he would pass the exam.
If he were to study hard, he would pass the exam.
Turning to the example that "shows an intermingling of indicative and subjunctive to achieve nuances of meaning", I sincerely hope that David Crystal had no such idea in mind when citing it. There are no "nuances of meaning" to be gleaned here. The first speaker, A, begins with a statement that is clearly ungrammatical, as it employs the indicative where the subjunctive is required. Nevertheless, B understands A's intended meaning, and responds appropriately, subtly correcting A as he does so. A then responds with the correct use of the subjunctive, very probably having taken note of B's correction.
Misusing the indicative for the subjunctive will generally go unnoticed in many circles, and we could probably agree that many worse linguistic crimes often go unpunished. I am thinking, in particular, of such crass catachreses as "if you was" and "if we was", which, outside the pages of Oliver Twist or Pygmalion, are an offence to any but the least-educated ear.
If she was sensible, I did not notice it.
I remember my mother well; may she rest in peace. I remember If she was feeling sensible, she would always order a background check on a person.
Second question, since the action hasn't happened yet, is it a rule of thumb to always use "would"?
Correct: If she CLIMB the mountain tomorrow, then I'll join him.
Correct: If she SHOULD CLIMB the mountain tomorrow, then I'll join him.
Correct: SHOULD she CLIMB the mountain tomorrow, then I'll join him.
Correct: I wish he WOULD shut up.
Now, "would" replaces the present subjunctive to make it a conditional statement, but it still is technically the subjunctive, but it is not the old-fashioned, pure subjunctive conjugation. English has made concessions over the years. Don't listen to this article's explanation of the subjunctive; it is only telling half truths on how to use it. Many of its examples above are wrong.
If she CLIMBS the mountain tomorrow, then I'll join HER.
This is 1st conditional- a probable scenario followed by a reaction.
If you go to the store, please buy me a soda.
If it rains tomorrow, we won't play baseball.
WHEN water is heated to a certain degree, [then] it boils.
IF water is heated to a certain degree, it boils.
But that sounds terribly formal.
Of course, as soon as I hit 'submit' I noticed an error in my OWN post!
If she had listened to me, she woudn't have been in so much trouble.
The example above is 2nd conditional- she's in trouble NOW because she didn't listen to me.
If she CLIMB the mountain tomorrow, then I'll join him.
No, I meant for it to be "CLIMB" because, in older forms, this is correct. The subjunctive follows "if" when it is possible that it might happen. We see this in "if truth be told", "be that as it may", which means "if that be as it may", "whether it be", "if need be", and so on.
It's better if she not come.
It's best if he climb the mountain with someone.
It's an old form. Yes, most people say "CLIMBS" now in a clause of "if she climbs". Both "if she climb" and if "she climbs" are correct in modern English now, but the latter is the most frequently used.
It really is the death of the subjunctive. In the end, as long as one KNOW what the sentence means, it really doesn't matter.
I'm not sure you're using 'subjunctive' correctly. It is used for urgency or stress. Generally, it's situations like advising, recommending, asking, or urging someone to DO something.
He studies hard to get good grades.
I'd urge/advise/recommend that he STUDY hard to get good grades.
You try to do your best.
He tries to do his best.
It's important that I try to do my best.
It's important that you try to do your best.
It's important that he try to do his best.
We can use the PAST subjunctive in certain situations that are not realistic.
If we are talking about something that actually DID happen, we can't use past subjunctive.
That's not correct. The conditional of 'If something HAPPENS, something else WILL HAPPEN' is based on the *possibility/probability* of the first event, and the 'If' clause must use the regular 3rd person form of the verb.
Even if the speaker has been told she likes to climb mountains and wants to recommend a certain peak, it's still unknown whether or not she is going to climb tomorrow, so we would use first conditional. In your example, you're giving advice and using a modal verb (should) which is always followed by the base verb, with or without the conditional clause.
If she climbs tomorrow, (I think) she should go to this particular mountain.
She should climb this particular mountain tomorrow (in my opinion).
No, I'm using it correctly, but just archaically.
If she CLIMB the mountain tomorrow, she will be fine.
It's why you say "if truth be told", or whether it be, or even until death do us part.
It's also why many people use "should to replace it.
"If she should climb the mountain tomorrow….
Not for nothing, but I don't think you can use Chaucer, Shakespeare, and Patrick Henry to validate a usage like, "If she climb the mountain…" A few hundred years ago, people used words like 'prithee', 'canst', and 'thine'. I suppose you could argue that using them today isn't technically *incorrect*, but why would you? Again- certain fixed expressions have become so well known that people use them without thinking about the actual grammatical structure, but they would never replicate them into everyday conversation. "I promise to love you 'til death do us part" isn't the same as "He will be at work 'til the clock do say midnight." Saying the latter sounds like you are a non-native English speaker who has used Google translate to try and make a sentence. It may not be entirely inaccurate, but it's not natural.
Aside from that, the structure of the first conditional is "If + [present simple], then [will/can + base verb]." If we are using it to give advice, we can substitute 'should' instead of 'will', but the 'If' clause remains present simple, not subjunctive. We are talking about a very real possibility, not an imaginary situation.
The scenario you are describing is that someone has told the speaker that a friend is most likely going to climb a mountain tomorrow. Perhaps you want to give advice : "If she climbs tomorrow, she should go to Myers Peak. It's great." Perhaps you know her favorite spot: "If she climbs tomorrow, she will probably go to Myers Peak." Neither case would ever use the subjunctive form in the 'If' clause because you are making a prediction based on certainty. The second conditional speaks of unreal situations in the present or the future, and sometimes uses subjunctive, but not the first conditional.
Using the subjunctive for a sentence such as "God be with her if she climb tomorrow" isn't a case of first conditional; it's a personal statement, stressing that you hope she will be safe. And, yes, it's correct, but it's not natural. If you want to speak like a person from the 19th century, so be it (*wink*). But don't expect many people to fully understand you, especially if you use it in the wrong context.
[quote]It's also why many people use "should to replace it.
'Should' and 'will' are modal/auxiliary verbs and are always followed by the base form of the verb, regardless of tense or subject. It has nothing to do with subjunctive.
I should be studying, but I'm too tired.
He shouldn't have stayed out all night.
It's going to rain; you should take an umbrella.
We should see if they can exchange the tickets for an earlier time.
It shouldn't take too long.
They should stay with us.
Using it changes the tense from subjunctive to something else entirely.
It's also important to stress that conversational English is different than written or formal English, and using the subjunctive form in those areas might not be as awkward.
Now, if the fire of electricity and that of lightning be the same, this pasteboard and these scales may represent electrified clouds.—Franklin.
If, in our case, the representative system ultimately fail, popular government must be pronounced impossible.—D. Webster.
If this be the glory of Julius, the first great founder of the Empire, so it is also the glory of Charlemagne, the second founder.—Bryce.
If any man consider the present aspects of what is called by distinction society, he will see the need of these ethics. —Emerson.
What can I say? Shall we move on now? This conversation is getting old. One day, people will probably be berating those of us who still say "if it were" or "if I were" because that's not what people say anymore, right? If anyone WANT to climbe that mountain, more power to him. Case closed.
I would never say "he doesn't have" nor would I say "he understands" there above. I would normally say, "if she should climb" though. It's all about how one was raised and how he learned and picked up parts of his language. I've always said it that way and have never been told I was incorrect. I've been told it sounds old-fashioned. Be that as it may, it's still the subjunctive. Again, I shall close this case again. Peace be to all and Merry Christmas.
If that is true, then your use of the English language is certainly not "fancy", but rather it is ridiculous. Most people who wish to learn more about English grammar are people who aim to speak the language more fluently. Thus your obstinate approach seems quite counter intuitive.
I'm showing an historical viewpoint on the subjunctive and it is heard and seen every now and then.
In general, I found that all other commentators had sensible thoughts on the subject. Well, except Kate of course, who appears to have taken some sort of psychotropic. Thanks everyone for the valued information.
Oh what vicious squabbles about such pettiness!
"Colloquial" English varieties are the only forms that matter, because they are what we use to communicate. If indeed the semantics of the sentence call for a verbal modal distinction, as in "if Jane were sensible…" or "if he was sick" in your variety, use it- no one's stopping you. But don't go around reprimanding others who might say "if I was a bear I'd eat fish all day", because it's how a LOT of people say it, which means the way YOU so proudly proclaim it will probably die out someday and be thought of by future generations in the same way as you think of "thou art". It's simply not how English is spoken anymore, right? The subjunctive vs. past distinction of "if I was" and "if I were" will similarly fall by the wayside, and that's okay, since I highly doubt you'll ever find yourself at an impasse of comprehension as a result of an absence of such a distinction.
There's nothing like being made to feel stupid on an off day, and I mean that as a compliment to all (of?) the grammarians here.
The subjunctive, split infinitives, and the various theories regarding "shall" haunt me on a daily basis. I learn and memorize, and then re-memorize, and nothing sticks.
But thanks for sidetracking me from work today!! I haven't even read these posts yet but know that I am going to spend hours poring over them later on.
It drives me nuts when a person does not use the subjunctive properly in the English language. I know several latin-based languages (because I studied them) and if you don´t understand and use the subjunctive, you simply cannot speak these languages and be understood.
Futhermore, colloquial language is spoken language and should not be used in formal expression or writing. In the South, we say, ¨Comere¨, which means, ¨Come here¨. But you´ll never catch me writing comere, ever. We also say, ¨What ya´ll doin´?¨ instead of ¨What are you doing?¨ Another one, ¨Gimmee that¨ instead of ¨Give me that¨. Just because we ¨talk¨ like this, does not make it acceptable in its written form.
Using and recognizing proper grammar is paramount to being an articulate and educated person. Just because ¨no one does it¨ (most likely because they don´t know any better), doesn´t make it right.
I make grammatical mistakes sometimes, but honestly wish I didn´t. Although an avid reader since I was very little, I am an awful speller and I thank the stars for spell-check!!! Another pet peeve of mine: yes, misspelled words!
Just a point from an Anglo-American, i.e someone who has had lifelong experience of English on both sides of the pond: I was wondering if the example "she was acting like she was/were the boss" was a deliberate mistake, or whether the following bracketed (This is ONLY for American English) was meant to excuse it. Because it is incorrect to use "like" as a conjunction, at least in formal circumstances – and for me most circumstances are formal – the version with the subjunctive, "like she were the boss" sounds ludicrous, whereas the one which fashionably eschews the subjunctive barely raises an eyebrow. The correct wording is, of course "she was acting AS IF she were the boss". Admittedly,"Lets twist again AS we did last summer" sounds less catchy, but it is, nevertheless, correct. Of course,when dealing with poetry there is always the metre to consider. If Rupert Brooke had written (subj!) "If I were to die, Think only this of me …" instead of "If I should die etc.",it just wouldn't sound right. I should (old-fashioned!) be grateful for any comments.

Innoveering Wins DoD Contract for Hypersonic Aircraft Engine
Innoveering LLC, (www.Innoveering.net) based in Ronkonkoma NY, has won a U.S. Defense Department contract valued at $10 million toward development of a dual-mode ramjet engine that could be used to power hypersonic aircraft. The Air Force Research Laboratory at Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio, contracted for the work.
Hypersonic aircraft, which can fly at more than five times the speed of sound (Mach 5), have been a dream of engineers for decades, but technical issues have stalled their adoption. According to Robert Bakos, co-founder and principal at Innoveering, the contract calls for Innoveering to "mature" a preliminary dual-mode ramjet design and conduct testing.
A ramjet has no moving parts. It directs air flowing at high speed into an inlet and ignites it with small amounts of fuel. Ramjets must be accelerated to high speeds, around Mach 3, and then can operate efficiently up to Mach 5. A dual-mode engine, however, can change its cycle to operate as a scramjet. Unlike a ramjet, whose engine slows the internal airflow to subsonic speeds, a scramjet allows a supersonic airflow through its engine. Scramjets can reach hypersonic speeds, exceeding Mach 5. Bakos said that a turbine jet could be added to a dual-mode ramjet design, allowing the craft to land on a conventional runway.
The United States, Russia and China have been racing to develop missiles and artillery shells that travel at hypersonic speeds. Last year Boeing unveiled a concept for a commercial airliner with a dual-mode ramjet.
Innoveering, founded in 2012, has 29 employees and performs research and development efforts funded by the US Air Force, NASA, DARPA, US Army, US Navy, and the Department of Energy.

It is worth noting that Pastor Niemöller was initially a supporter of the Nazis. He tried to reason with them, just to end up in the concertation camp Sachsenhausen. My point is: You can't reason with the devil, evil cannot be tolerated.
When it comes to making monumental mistakes in picking the wrong leaders or parties, Germany is the gold standard. Remember, the rise of Hitler started through the democratic process. In the 1932 German presidential elections, Hitler got almost 37% of the votes and in the 1933 German federal election, his party got even close to 44% of the votes. The people of Germany – my people – are to be blamed, nobody else.
Why does that matter? Just like in the US today, the population was deeply unhappy about their situation. There was no trust in their institutions, the alternatives were considered "weak" and a leader with no respect for human life, tried to seize the opportunity.
So there is absolutely no excuse to make that same mistake again this coming Tuesday. No false equivalency will release you from the responsibility you have for your vote. One day you need to explain to your kids and grandchildren what you have done on November 8, provided you'll get the chance to have children.
I have never used my country's past to illustrate a situation and I am still deeply conflicted to link the unbearable wrong of my nation's past with something as mundane as the US election. I just hope I am totally wrong and it is all a bad dream.

Dr. Gregory S. Keller is a board-certified facial plastic surgeon who performs facelifts and other cosmetic procedures at Keller Plastic Surgery, for residents of Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, and surrounding communities in California. Dr. Keller has pioneered advances in deep plane facelifts and published on these. It is a true "Masterlift".
Q. What is the goal of a facelift?
A. Facelifts at Keller Facial Surgery in Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, and the surrounding areas are designed to naturally rejuvenate your facial appearance. We consistently produce a younger appearance without people becoming aware that you have had a surgical procedure. The "Masterlift (tm)" is a surgical procedure performed by Dr. Keller, a UCLA Clinical Professor, that rejuvenates facial appearance by tightening the muscles and skin of the face as a single unit (deep plane facelift) to improve your natural facial contour and produce a smoother, more toned appearance. Every facelift is customized for each patient, and may be combined with other procedures (such as an endoscopic brow lift, Dr. Keller's original invention, or cheek lift) to achieve overall balance. Achieving a rested, rejuvenated look that enhances youth and beauty in a subtle, natural way is the goal of the "Masterlift'. While we use minimally invasive and non-invasive procedures in our world renowned Medi-Spa, we use the Masterlift to achieve a balanced appearance, when partial treatments are not enough.
A.Most procedures are performed on an outpatient basis. You will need someone to drive you home and provide basic home care for 1-2 days while you rest. Most patients can walk into our office the next day. In fact, walking as a gentle movement exercise is usually allowed the next day. Upon completion of the surgery, the head will be bandaged, and bandages are usually removed on the first day after the procedure. Swelling and bruising is variable. Most patients can return to work with make-up (or, for males growing a scruff beard on a temporary basis) in 10 days to two weeks. Generally, with a scarf and dark glasses, patients will be out in a couple days. Work in an office or home setting without public exposure can usually begin in 2-3 days. More strenuous activities should usually be avoided for at least 3 weeks.
Q. How does the deep plane facelift compare to other facelifts?
A. With the deep plane facelift, the surgeon can address the actual problem areas. The loose, fallen structures and ligaments that cause the face to descend with gravity can be repositioned in a natural manner as a single unit. The surgeon can stabilize and lift the descent of the face more permanently than is possible with a skin only facelift, a "suture up" procedure, or a standard SMAS facelift.
Skin only facelifts can look pulled and contrived, offering only a surface solution. They do not address and reposition the structures of the face that fall with aging.
Standard SMAS or SMAS resection procedures, often referred to as the "muscle pulling lift", go below the skin and lift the muscular structures. While more effective than skin only or "suture up (made famous by "lifestyle lifts") procedures, they don't address some of the deeper structures that fall and age, so these techniquess can only achieve a limited result. Some skin pulling is necessary, testing the skin's blood supply and durability and often causing more obvious incisions after the skin stretch back. Most importantly, because the skin is lifted up and the muscle tightened in a separate layer, a "joker" line or facelifted appearance can result.
The deep plane lift, does not resort to half measures and allows the surgeon to release and reposition the supporting tissues and ligaments of the face below the SMAS layer. The SMAS, muscle, skin, and fat are then repositioned as a unit without causing joker lines. Re-suspension of the deeper structures lifts the whole face as a unit, without stressing the skin and incisional scars by increasing the skin tension.
Q. Is the deep plane facelift a more complex surgery compared to other facelifts?
Yes, because to procedure requires a surgeon with a superior ability to handle the deeper tissue layers. What is filtering out with all types of surgery is that the surgeon who specializes in specific surgeries is usually better than a more "general" surgeon. Because I specialize and am board certified in "facial plastic surgery" (I don't do breasts or body plastic surgery), I am "honed in" on the nuances of the deep plane procedure.
Yes, because the surgeon performing deep plane facelifts requires superior skill and expertise. If you do your homework in researching surgeons on the West Coast and around the world, you will find only a handful of surgeons performing the procedure. It is more challenging than other types of facelifts.
No, because, from a patient's point of view, it really should not be considered a more serious surgery. Recovery is normal for facelift procedures, because most surgical work is done on deeper tissue layers of the face rather than near the surface. As such, the skin does not get separated from the underlying lympatics and blood supply, so healing and incisions are generally favorable.
Q. Is it more risky and have more complications?
A. The deep plane facelift procedure has no more risks than other facelifts, when performed by a skilled surgeon.
Q. Is it more painful than other facelifts?
A.	No. Pain is, generally, about a 2-3 out of a 10 point pain scale; often less than other facelifts.
Q. Is recovery longer than other facelifts?
A. No. Almost any facelift requires 10 days to two weeks for a patient to look healed enough to appear in public with make-up. However, patients are often out and around in two to three days with a scarf and sunglasses. People can walk for exercise in a day or two. Heavier exercise needs to wait for two to three weeks.
Q. Who is a good candidate for a deep plane facelift?
A. Practically anyone who is a candidate for a facelift can benefit from a deep plane lift. The deep plane lift, however, can benefit both younger and older patients who may not be candidates for other types of facelifts.
The deeper layers of the face that other lifts do not address sag earlier than skin and muscle. Fat pads, sagging ligaments and the like appear early in the sequence of facial aging, often in the mid to late 40's. Deep plane lifts performed in the mid to late 40's and early 50's can last for long periods of time, and set aging back ten to fifteen years with a natural look. (see our facelift pictures of younger patients).
Older people, including many who have already had a facelift, can also benefit. Many of these want to look younger, less tired or mad, and have an upbeat appearance without having the pulled, plastic look of a facelift. By repositioning the deeper structures, skin, and muscle as a unit, these people can appear younger but not dramatically different. (see our facelift pictures of more mature patients). The deep plane facelift lasts a long time, and usually will be sufficient to avoid another subsequent facelift for patients who are older.
Q. Is the "Masterlift" a good revision facelift?
A. Yes, the "Masterlift" reverses the signs of aging that are often missed in other facelifts. The deep plane facelift, the mid-face lift, and the neck lift components of the "Masterlift" often address aging concerns that other types of facelift omit.
Q. Why is a "Masterlift" deep plane facelift different than other deep plane facelifts?
A. Several things make a difference. Our pioneering mid-face work, lifts the midface fat pads and structures in a more vertical manner than deep plane lifts. We have several journal articles and textbook chapters on this. Our evolved neck lift is more complex and long-lasting than most used with the deep plane lift. Finally, the way that we perform a deep plane lift, allows a more vertical lift direction than most deep plane lifts, improving the jaw and neckline, as well as the mid-face. I recently published our deep plane technique as the senior author with two of my fellows. (Deep Plane Facelift: An Evaluation of the High-SMAS vs. Standard Incision Points. Facial Plastic Surgery. 2018: 646-650).
Q. Why does the deep plane facelift cost more than other facelifts?
A. As mentioned above, the deep plane technique requires the skill and expertise that only a few facial plastic surgeons possess. It provides a natural long lasting lift that exclusively addresses the structural signs of aging.

Everyone knows about the Roomba, but did you know that iRobot also makes a really cool robot platform minus the vacuum called Create? Both products can be interfaced via serial Bluetooth and commanded from the Cellbots code. We've found the iRobot bots worked really well with a car dock on top to become an integrated system.
The Java and Python codebases integrate with these bots, but you could also use the API documentation to write something with App Inventor for Android via the Bluetooth module. You'l want to be sure and pick up a BAM from Element Direct for the iRobot Create, or a RooTooth for any modern Roomba. This means the Roomba must have been manufacturered after October 2005 in order to support serial port operation.
For now we just support basic driving of the robot and don't yet have commands to turn on the vacuum (for Roomba) or use the other sensors. You can however use the Cellbots for Android app to stream images, take pictures, and chase your pets around the house. If you don't have a car dock for your phone you can get clever and use something like Vex parts to mount one. Bonus points to anyone who figures out a way to power the servos from the BAM module!
Have fun and pick up an iRobot Create with BAM or iRobot Roomba with RooTooth module today!
I think is an awesome present!!!!.
ok, i'm purchasing a Create. what's the accessories needed to purchase so i can create the package? i guess battery pack + charger. usb modules?
I am goig to buy the iRobot Create with BAM and the Command module. I will plug it a IP camera to watch the video from my computer. Do you think I should buy the 3000 mAh battery or use it with the standard batteries the robot uses?
Hey, I am wondering if I should buy a roomba or a create. The advantage of buying a roomba would be that it might still be useful even if I don't program it.
The cellbots software works with both, the roomba and the create right?


If you are not sure what a Zucchini is, then you probably need to do some research. It is a summertime green squash, almost looks like a cucumber.
Yes, it's a veggie. But like the carrot can be incorporated into something sweet or savory.
It's one of those things that makes a great spice cake, or spice bread, which is what Zucchini bread is if you combine the right ingredients.
Combine these two ingredients. 1 and 1/3 cups of sugar and two eggs.
Add in the grated Zucchini.
Add 2 tsp. Baking soda into the mixture.
Add 3 cups of flour a little bit at a time, The batter will be lumpy.
Pour into greased loaf pans. Bake in a preheated oven 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
You can add nuts, berries, raisins to the mixture if you like.

Q: How to Digitally "Sign" a document I don't like paper documents.  I like everything stored on a server.  I'd like to avoid printing, signing, and scanning, if possible.
How do I get signatures from people to sign-off on forms and still keep it digital?
The purpose of signing is to prove that certain departments have OK'd the document.  Most of these people are non-technical.
The ideal is that each person would open the document and type in their name and close the document.  The problem is that how do I know that Fred didn't sign for Ralph.

A: There are legal regulations defining what qualifies as a digital signature (electronic signature, or "eSignature"). In the USA, there is an act called "Uniform Electronic Transactions Act" (UETA), describing how a digital signature is defined and used in legal context.
Basically, the following components may be involved:

*

*An electronic document, representing the form with legal obligations when signature is applied.

*A digital signal (picture, sound, etc.) applied additionally to the above document, serving as a signature, i.e. legally accepted proof of approving the document. (The most straight-forward example is applying a transparent picture of a person's hand-written signature onto a PDF document.)

*A digital certificate key pair (with validation from approved Certificate Authorities) to "tamper seal" the document. Using the private key to "sign" the document, legal authorities can use the public key to verify the integrity of the document.

*A "vault" system to store the tamper-sealed document for later legal inquiries.

One may argue that not all of the steps are necessary; however, in certain industries, step 3 and 4 are required by legal regulations, as these are designated to prevent forgery or spoofing. As a result, step 3 is most likely perform by / with a Notary, and sometimes performed together with step 2.
For step 2 and 3, APIs and examples are available on the internet. Adobe PDF's API can deal with both steps, and some open-source components can deal with individual steps. One such example of using an open-source component, iTextSharp, is in CodeProject: E-signing PDF documents with iTextSharp. For more information about eSignature in general, please look at the Wikipedia page Electronic Signature.

A: There are myriad approaches discussed in Schneier's Applied Cryptography.
Much of what you're looking for comes down to a Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) - of which NIST has one, asymetric encryption algorithms can provide, etc.
The simple route would be to collect delivery and read receipts on email, but that's not fool-proof.

A: Each person who might sign a digital document needs a public/private key pair assigned to them, that cannot be forged.
Then you've got to find a way to keep each person's private key secure - how can that person use it, but nobody else?  There is a lot of creative work going on in this area right now.  Some of it requires each person to carry a hardware key (card, thumb drive, whatever) which must be used to sign each document.  Sometimes the private keys are stored in a database and the signer must provide a password to sign a document.
A key pair is applied to a document by creating a hash of the document and then encrypting the hash using the private key.  The encrypted hash is the 'digital signature' and is attached to the document.  Since nobody other than the signer can use the private key (supposedly) you know that the signature is authentic.
You can verify the signature by decrypting the hash using the public key, which is available to everyone.  If the decrypted hash does not match, then either the document was modified after it was signed, or it was signed by someone else.

A: Now that you've clarified what you need, I think the best solution is to:

*

*Make a web site

*Give people unique log-ins with passwords

*Allow them to view the documents

*Have a form where they check a box that says "I agree to such-and-such"

You'll probably also want to include the idea of "groups" so you can expose certain documents to just "The Acme Co. Shipping Dept." and allow any member of that group to sign-off on those documents.

A: I agree, I'm also a non-technical person, but signing a document using an electronic signature doesn't really require being a "tech-ish" person. I downloaded a software from one of Adobe's authorized digital signature providers and read the manual, which in short, says... that a legally binding digital signature must have a legally binding certificate ID. The official providers are mentioned on the IBM site, Misrosoft and Adobe (as well as other service provider websites). I used one I found on the Adobe site as I needed to digitally sign a PDF document. For word, use a Microsoft provider (Though, I believe the one I used supports MS softwares too).

A: There's two ways to take this question:

*

*What technical means can I use to obtain digital signatures?

*Which means of obtaining digital signatures can I use that will hold up against (insert internal review process here)?

If they're just for your own records, then the second question isn't important.  Otherwise your organization's auditing department is going to have a say.

A: The term "signature" is used a little loosely in this context.  It doesn't mean someone using handwriting to sign their name - it means having a person leave some sort of digital data that proves they approved the document.
Adobe Acrobat has the ability to do digital signatures.

A: Do you have control over the people you're interacting with such that you could make them create GPG keys and use them to sign documents?  If so, problem solved.

A: The question you need to ask is "what purpose does a physical signature serve?" A "digital signature" serves different purposes than a physical one. And a physical signature looses pretty much all its value on a scanned document.
What you probably want is just a way for people to say "yes, I am OK with this". In that case, you just need a web site they can log into and check a box.

A: one thing we've been looking into is using the little touch pad on laptops for getting customer signatures.  When you think about it, it's not much different than the little thing you use to sign for UPS deliveries.  We've found a few APIs floating around with little effort so far.

A: There is software for adding a digital security component to a handwritten signature. The signature is captured using some sort of touchpad device, and stored in the document. Then the software digitally signs the entire document including the signature graphic, to prove that the document was not changed since the signature was applied.

A: Having been searching for a system to this, I've just found docshaker.com on killerstartups. It pretty much allow you to do as you've just described Neall.

Trump slams Congress for bringing Russia relations to 'dangerous low'
Posted by Fox News | Aug 3, 2017 | FEATURED, POLITICAL OPINION, TRUMP PRESIDENCY | 0 |
President Trump on Thursday accused Congress of bringing relations with Russia to an "all-time & very dangerous low" after sending him a sanctions bill which he reluctantly signed a day earlier – legislation that prompted a furious response from Russia's prime minister.
"Our relationship with Russia is at an all-time & very dangerous low. You can thank Congress, the same people that can't even give us HCare!" Trump tweeted.
The accusation came after Trump signed the sweeping package of sanctions, which had passed both houses of Congress with a veto-proof majority. In signing the bill, Trump issued a written statement complaining that Congress was overstepping its constitutional bounds and impeding his ability to negotiate with foreign countries.
The sanctions were answered with a stinging rebuke by Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev.
TRUMP SIGNS RUSSIA SANCTIONS BILL
He tweeted that the administration had shown "total weakness by handing over executive power to Congress in the most humiliating way."
In a Facebook tirade, he also said the legislation "ends hopes for improving our relations with the new US administration." He seemed to acknowledge that Trump was pressured into signing the bill but went on to suggest it's all part of a sweeping process to ultimately oust him as president.
"The issue of new sanctions came about, primarily, as another way to knock Trump down a peg. New steps are to come, and they will ultimately aim to remove him from power. A non-systemic player has to be removed," he wrote.
He added that "relations between Russia and the United States are going to be extremely tense regardless of Congress' makeup and regardless of who is president."

The breakdown in any sense of comity between Washington and Moscow follows Trump's high-profile meeting with President Vladimir Putin on the sidelines of the G-20 summit in Germany last month.
At the time, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said the two leaders "connected very quickly" and had "positive chemistry," focusing on ways to move forward as opposed to "relitigating" the past.
The sanctions bill, though, opens a new phase of tensions.
The legislation is aimed at penalizing Moscow for election interference and for its military aggression in Ukraine and Syria, where the Kremlin has backed President Bashar Assad. It bars Trump from waiving the Russia sanctions without first securing approval from Congress, and also imposes new financial sanctions on Iran and North Korea.
Trump said the law will "punish and deter bad behavior" by the governments of Iran and North Korea as well as enhance existing sanctions on Moscow. But he made no secret of his distaste for what the bill does to his ability to govern.
"The bill remains seriously flawed — particularly because it encroaches on the executive branch's authority to negotiate," he said in a statement.
Last week, the House overwhelmingly backed the bill, 419-3, and the Senate rapidly followed, 98-2. Those margins guaranteed that Congress would be able to beat back any veto attempt.
Putin also said Sunday the U.S. would have to cut 755 of its embassy and consular staff in Russia.
The congressional review section of the bill that Trump objects to was a key feature for many members of Congress.
Trump will be required to send a report explaining why he wants to suspend or terminate a particular set of the sanctions on Russia. Lawmakers would then have 30 days to decide whether to allow him to do so.
Tillerson echoed the president's sentiments that the measure poses more diplomatic hindrances than solutions.
"Neither the president nor I are very happy about that," Tillerson said Tuesday. "We were clear that we didn't think that was going to be helpful to our efforts, but that's the decision they made."

FR LOTHARIO DALLAT IS GIVING PASTORAL CARE TO 1500 GIRLS AFTER MAKING PARISHIONER PREGNANT
Post date 5th May 2019
82 Comments on FR LOTHARIO DALLAT IS GIVING PASTORAL CARE TO 1500 GIRLS AFTER MAKING PARISHIONER PREGNANT
SUNDAY LIFE BELFAST 5TH MAY 2019
"THE CATHOLIC CHURCH HAS DENIED APPOINTING A SHAMED PRIEST AS CHAPLAIN TO THE BIGGEST GIRL'S SCHOOL IN NORTHERN IRELAND – EVEN THOUGH IT'S PRINCIPAL HAS PUBLICLY SAID HE WAS GIVEN THAT ROLE.
At a special anniversary Mass celebrating the 60th anniversary of St. Louise's Comprehensive College, headteacher Mary McHenry welcomed disgraced Fr. Ciaran Dallat onto the altar.
PRINCIPAL MARY McHENRY ANNOUNCING DALLAT AS CHAPLAIN.
She told the audience at St. Peter's Cathedral in West Belfast, which included hundreds of schoolgirls "We are honoured to have our school chaplain as our celebrant this afternoon".
The event was filmed and Ms McHenry's welcome for Fr Dallat as school chaplain, appears in a video on the St. Peter's Cathedral website – although on the school's website the chaplain is named as Sister Anna Byrne.
The description panicked parents of pupils as Father Dallat was forced to quit his role as administrator of the cathedral in 2015 after he got a woman pregnant and then dumped her after she miscarried their unborn child.
In a statement issued to this newspaper last week, the Catholic Church denied the controversial priest was St. Louise's chaplain.
It said: "Father Ciaran Dallat has not been appointed by the diocese as chaplain to St. Louise's Comprehensive College". But that is at odds with how the college principal Mrs McHenry described him at the school's recent anniversary Mass.
Celebrating this even with Fr. Dallat was Fr. Eddie McGee, the priest who issued the St. Louise's denial.
EDDIE McGee DENYING THE CHAPLAIN STORY AFTER CONCELEBRATING THE MASS WITH DALLAT
Introducing him to the congregation Mrs McHenry said: "We welcome Fr. Eddie McGee from St. Mary's University, who is a great friend of St. Louise's.
Fr. Dallat then appeared at the altar and at no point throughout the 90 minute Mass was the principal's description of Fr. Dallat corrected by either priest.
In a second statement issued last night, Fr. McGee said: "I can confirm that Fr. Ciaran Dallat has not been appointed by the diocese as chaplain to St. Louise's Comprehensive College.
But this cut little ice with the furious parents of St. Louise's Comprehensive College which has 1500 pupils at its Belfast campus.
One disgusted dad told us: "I don't want Fr. Dallat anywhere near the school especially as chaplain. He is a disgraced priest who broke his vows. What schoolgirl will feel confident asking him for spiritual advice after what he admitted to? St. Louise's needs to clarify now if he ever has been chaplain. You have the principal telling a cathedral filled with pupils and parents that he is , yet the Church is denying it".
When Fr. Dallat's ex lover went public with their affair in this newspaper, he announced he was undertaking spiritual guidance "to repair the damage and hurt caused".
After a year out of the spotlight he surfaced again as prison chaplain in Maghaberry jail where he still has an office.
Not only did Fr. Dallat's ex lover reveal how the cleric got her pregnant, she also explained how she had lavished him with £20,000 of gifts before he dumped her "after getting a message from God"!
She said, that after the first night they slept together, the priest – who grew up near Ballycastle – walked into her hotel room during a holy pilgrimage and demanded: "Take your clothes off".
The jilted ex also explained how she would have steamy sex with supposedly celibate Fr. Dallat three to four times per week between September 2012 and April 2014.
At the time he was parish priest at Sacred Heart in north Belfast before being moved to St. Peter's Cathedral in the west of the city.
"He groomed me and preyed on me, and then he betrayed me" said the woman who described Fr. Dallat as an "experienced lover" and produced a Valentine's card he had sent her.
PAT SAYS.
The Dallat situation is outrageous.
A priest who seduced a woman on pilgrimage and made her pregnant and then went out for dinner with friends as his partner was losing their baby on the bathroom floor.
If a drug dealer from a rough estate did that we would regard him as the lowest of the low.
But when a so called Christian and priest does it are we not left dumbfounded and speechless?
Dallat himself obviously has neither morals or principles. Rams in his native Ballycastle would treat their yews better.
So the buck stops on the desk of the so called bishop of Low Down and No Honour – a certain and disgraceful Noel Treanor.
Dallat has not only tolerated Dallat but has covered for him and colluded with him.
He should hace been sent packing to work in some secular field where being a Jack the Lad would be unremarkable.
But Treanor did not have either the wisdom or the balls.
Dallat's behaviour rests at Treanor's pedicured feet.
May they both be held accountable in the Law Courts of Christ!

I haven't even read the latest blog, Bp Pat, all I could see was Fr Dallat's ugly mug splashed all over the pages of Sunday Life… again!
Bp Pat, what do all these women staff members at St Louise's see in him? I wonder.
I imagine some will be hoping for a quickie, Bp Pat, and the dinner ladies too probably.
Great work , Pat.
I'm so pleased that you have been able to bring this shameful coverup to the media attention.
Teenage girls are safer now than this time last week.
Dallat is a predator !
Doubting Thomassays:
With all the good work of Pat and the local media – Dallat is no longer a danger. People know about him
Now and will be much more weary.
F*** lads, the shite has hit the fan now alright.
I see , with interest , that the domain name
http://www.stpeterscathedralbelfast.com
Is up for sale !!
Good one. Bishop of low Down and no honour. LMAO. What a great description of this man. Lisbreen will be going nuts at this negative publicity. Poor Eddie McGee will be asked to work overtime to spin this in a positive way. Fruitless task. It is what it is. The HR director will be apoplectic with rage. She'll probably be on the phone to the education authority demanding the principals head on a platter. For someone supposedly so educated, Treanor must really be a half wit if he thinks we are going to fall for Eddie McGee's spin. How out of touch with his parishioners is that bishop. They would do well to ship him back to Brussels asap. Maybe he could get Dallat a job there. A very very silly pompous man, so far up his own Jackson and full of his own self importance. But then again isn't lothario the late bishop Dallat's nephew. We all know that the church look after their own. Operation damage limitation will be in full swing by the Lisbreen mafia. Bloody buffoons the lot of them. I'd say it may just be a long time b4 Dallat is at that school again. You couldn't make this stuff up if u tried
Treanor won't give a monkeys . He is too far removed from his parishoners to either know or care what they think. He lives in his own wee bubble and is spoon fed positive news by his "people". Whoever (and I assume it was Treanor) let Dallat have any association with that school, needs their head examined . The people of west Belfast have gone through too much angst over the years to put up with this crap. Just when one thinks that diocese can't stoop any lower it goes even lowee
12.50: Don't get your hyperbolic knickers in a twist….be calm and sensible. Hatred is not the correct response.
Any drunk texts from Brendan Marshall tonight? What a fool
Fr Harrysays:
Is everyone on here thick? Just because he had sex with an adult female doesn't not mean he is interested in young girls. So, being and heterosexual means he is also a paedo? You should all be ashamed of yourselves. Leave the man alone.
No one is saying what you say. We are saying that a girl's school is not an appropriate place for him to be given his past scandal and his general reputation among the diocesan clergy.
geosays:
Doesn't add up Pat. Illogical thinking.
It's now clear, Pat, why you don't welcome the grammar and spelling police – as you call someone who takes it for granted that spelling and grammar are foundational to public written discourse.
MournemanMichaelsays:
Fr Harry: If indeed you ARE a priest, then all your comment shows is just how far removed from any good sense you are yourself and questions both the quality of your priestly formation and the calibre of candidates who end up being ordained: perhaps "thick" to use your own expression. And some will say that your are simply representative of the poor calibre of RC clergy in general.
Well said MMM
If this guy really is a priest – it
Shows how far detached they really are from reality.
Maybe he has his own agenda?
12.47 hi the jury is put when the discourse is self righteous schyte but
Very good point. Well said at 7.14.
There's one other awful thing in this article that nobody has commented on yet… that lectern is hideous.
It takes two to tango and undoubtedly this woman consented to sexual intimacy. However, Fr. Dallat was morally wring to abandon this woman in her time of greatest need. That he failed fo do so reveals him as someone very selfish, reckless, unkind and irresponsible, like the many men who do the same every day to women. His response should have been more caring, compassion are and Christian. He may be trying to rehabilitate himself but St.Louise's school is an inappropriate community for him. It beggars belief that those making decisions overlooked the inappropriateness of his presence in so prominent a school. Is throwing boulders of judgment helping this man in any way! I doubt it.
Fr Dallat's behaviour is tacky.
"He gromed me, he preyed on me, then he betrayed me"……..it says it all. Dallat should not be allowed to continue functioning as a priest. If he had any conscience or decency about him, he would remove himself from all public ministry. If his bishop had any sense of responsibility and ability to do the right thing (other than choose fine wines, business class airline seats, nice hotels, expensive fixtures and fittings for his residence etc.), he would remove Dallat from public ministry. But, neither of them will do what is the right thing. They will just sit tight and hope for the whole thing to blow over and then carry on brazenly.
….until the next time……
I don't think the clergy see lay people and women in general
as human. Fr Dallat acts I a way that a 14year old youth might. He is totally unsuitable as a guide for anyone, especially young and impressionable girls. He is a bounder and a cad. He has the morals of an alley cat. He probably thinks he is one hell of a stud.
The words of a tabloid dramatist – note I will not use the term journalist. This lady groomed Dallat, I presume his victim-hood will not make a story?
Now this does make me laugh.
You clearly have a chauvinistic, arrogant attitude like the one you are defending. Almost priestly sounding.
Clerical club stick together !!
Ciaran Dallat is obviously quite a catch to a lot of females. Perhaps there's many women who are attracted to him. Just inappropriate that he is a priest. Maybe there's even some teenage girls from the school that are attracted to him…..none of this makes him a paedophile. Please stop trying to confuse two different issues.
No one has said he is a paedophile.
If you are saying that the underage girls in the school are at risk, you are implying as much. Stop splitting hairs.
He is a sexual predator
Who grooms and cultivates females for his own ego.
No one has mentioned paedohpilia. Please be responsible when making a comment and have at least read the article and comments.
Moron !
Paedophilia is used when someone is attracted to underage children. Is this news to you?
If a school chaplain became intimate with an "of age" 6th former or teacher it woupd stii be a serious crossing of boundaries.
At Pat Buckkey, 12:55, crossing boundaries by becoming romantically involved with a staff member, if that is is in fact a boundary matter at all, is not pedophilia. It's immoral and irresponsible to equate them.
Jimsays:
This Priest had CONSENSUAL sex with an adult female who probably did most of the chasing to bag a Priest. How this story can be twisted to suggest that female children are somehow unsafe in his company is nothing short of DISGRACEFUL. Pat, you are a practising homosexual. Does this mean that I cannot bring my young son to your Oratory? Will he be safe? This blog is becoming more spiteful and hurtful by the day. This Priest should leave ministry I agree, but there isn't a shred of evidence to suggest that he is a paedo. God will remember all those who suggest otherwise on this blog on the day of judgement.
Ah maybe you're right Jim Boy.
Sure the girls in St Louise's wouldn't have £20,000 to lavish upon him for gifts!!
ps. Thanks for the tip about judgement day. Booohooooo!!!
God reads this blog?!
What ya think of that +Pat?
I'm happy about that. I write it for Him.
Stop making excuses for Dallat. He is a disgrace. He should not be trusted. He is a hypocrite. He is indefensible.
9.04: You are right. As I said earlier. It takes 2 to tango. But my belief is that Fr. Dallat should not be carrying out chaplaincy duties in St. Luoise's School. He is a marked man and Pat Buckley will ensure his discomfort. We should all be protecting children and young people from people ( teachers included) who are not good role models nor good teachers. Fr. Dallat should not be in a teaching/chaplaincy role in light of the publicity he is receiving. I'm certain there is some area of ministry suitable for him. However, the self arrogance and self righteous of Pat and his band of boulder throwers (of judgment and condemnation) is hypocritical and sickening. Men continually dump in girls when pregnancy is announced. Many men don't care. So, Fr. Dallat is in very goid company of a long line of shysters snd reckless, selfish guys who abandon and run. Moral cowards all of them….But out Pat is no icon of purity, chastity, integrity or honesty: I wouldn't let my children be near him or be taught by him.
Tis a war of words hi. A priest who visits schools may often be referred to as a chaplain although it is not a formal appointment hi. That being said it is important that anyone who has contact with schools etc is deemed to be appropriate but
7:53. Your attempt to confuse the word hyperbola is amusing. There is nothing exaggerated in my comment. Fact: Treanor is removed from his flock
Fact: Treanor is spoon fed and fawned upon by his leckies
Fact: whomever "arranged or sanctioned Ciaran Dallats association with St Louise's, given his history, is at best misguided and irresponsible
Fact: the people of west Belfast have greatly suffered over the years and do not deserve the worry which Ciaran Dallat's association with St Louise's will bring them
Fact: stating these truths is not hatred. It is fair comment
Please don't confuse facts with hyperbola
Yes. Fair comment of a matter of public interest.
Will St Louise have a board of governors, Bp Pat? Mind you; they could all be women also looking for a bit nookie.
I cannot find who the board of governors are. Can anyone help?
These names are meant to be in the public domain – then again it is a CCMS school and CCMS schools do as they please.
Yon Bridie chased Dallat and got pregnant in order to try and force him to leave the priesthood. Dallat looked at the world of work and decided to stay put in his detached 4 bedroom.
Dallat will be at risk in any school which will undoubtedly have it's quota of single female teachers with ticking biological clocks.
You never said a truer word, I worked in a girls secondary school in the 80's, two of the chaplain's were snaffled by female teachers. Dallat will definitely be a target.
He's an ugly gobshite ! Even the most left on the shelf schoolmarm would surely find something a bit more photogenic ? Standards, please !
Ravsays:
Typical comment from an uneducated person
He'll be like a lamb to the slaughter. He's an unattached heterosexual man capable of fathering a child.
Hear! Hear! Just so.
Standards drop when your biological clock is ticking.
Look, it's simple. In no other profession would someone like Dallat (who transgressed every professional boundary and would have been severely judged by any other professional organization and discipline probably by being disbarred) be allowed to take up a position in a girls' school in some chaplaincy or pastoral role. Simple. So, why does Dallat / the School / the Principal / the Bishop or anyone else think that this might be okay ? There are questions that need to be asked about their judgement. Have they never heard of risk management ? Did they not even have a clue about the reaction to this once it inevitably got out, in spite of their best efforts to keep it quiet ?
Fr Mallonsays:
Pat. What gives you the right to expose or criticise anyone? Your own past isn't exactly whiter than white is it? Where shall we start?…
I would think Mr Mallon that if you were to go ahead with your supposition, very little would be revealed not already in the public domain, for +Pat seems to have been readily up front with acknowledging his own frailties and past mistakes. So go ahead Mr Mallon, and if you have the guts to stand by your claims, do put your own name in the public domain as an indication of your bona fides. Otherwise just go away.
Fr Jamessays:
mournemanmichael – what is your point exactly? Are you on the wine at this time of day? Shame on you. How do you know that the Priest in question hasn't repented for his sins? Shall we cast aside every sinner and never allow anyone who makes mistakes a second chance? Pat has been open about his mistakes and we still love him, how would he feel if we regurgitated all his errors time after time?
"We are 'honoured' to have our school chaplain as our celebrant this afternoon."
The principal seems quite carried away, Bp Pat, it's a wonder he didn't get a standing ovation.
Dallat's as ugly as f**k. Face on him like a well slapped arse. His ability to sire too could be declining with his advancing towards 60 and all. The swimmers might not be so plentiful in the aul baby batter.
Patricksays:
How nasty of you 3.09pm. What are looks got to do with it. God loves us all you vile idiot.
Hi Ciaran
Must be the most revolting post of the year. Some people's minds are so sick. A wake-up call for anyone who might have too positive a view of human nature. 3:09.
An old cock can always crow whole an old hen can't always lay an egg!
3.09: We know where your brain is lodged… deep up you a**e. You utterly despicable moron.
3:09 Put your face pic on here and let the readers judge whether you are in a position to comment on the looks of a named person. It's only a suspicion but it's very likely that you have issues around your own physiognomy.
Maybe Ms McHenry misspoke, Bp Pat.
Sounds like it could be more like St Trinian's…

Magna Cartasays:
The thought occurred to me, too.
But then, why the lack of clarification from her so far?
I note McGhee's statements: that Dallat hadn't been appointed chaplain…'by the diocese'.
A strange, and seemingly unnecessary, qualification this, as most people would naturally expect the diocese (aka, 'the bishop') to make such an appointment.
Is there another authority, independent of the bishop, for making these appointments?
Yes, CCMS and they do what they want, when they want and with whom they want.
So McGhee may have engaged in a little mental reservation for Treanor?
5:50pm no there's been many more revolting than that. In any case, you couldn't cut Dallat with a hatchet!
Hi Brendan
Pat, I am appalled at some of the abusive language used about Fr. Dallat today. I accept that his behaviour against the woman with whom he had a relationship was outrageous, selfish and reckless and that he should not be in a school environment. Our acceptance of his wrong does not give us the authority to engage in a nasty, vindictive, hateful manner towards him. We are all too well aware of the effects of bullying, harrassing and intimidating language aming all age groups: we are only too well aware of the ugliness and tyranny of social media abuse and poisonous invective and how easily those at the receiving end become suucidal. You, Pat, have facilitated some of the most abusive bullying on your blog and feel you have a God given right to attack others freely. Irrespective of the wrong done by this priest, some of the comments are couched in a deeply offensive, ignorant and bullying manner. What benefit is it to allow commentator at 3.09 and others to spout such vile, personalised attacks? Can you give an intelligent answer?
I have blocked over 20 comments today that were extreme.
7.33: Why didn't you block 3.09? Answer please. That you blocked 20 other vicious, hateful comments doesn't make you completely moral. You need to block all haters.
Fr dallat offered three Masses in the parish of Duneane in the past week-end. He was made very welcome as far as I could see. I am sure that he, like the rest of us is aware of his failings. Surely the time has come to forgive and above all to FORGET!!!!'
Ask that of the woman he made pregnant and then abandoned, you morally cheerleading, arch-prick!😆
9.37: The word "forget" doesn't exist in Pat's world. He does not in any way emulate Christ. Condemn, Condemn, Condemn….judge, judge, judge….all Pat's special pastimes…." Judge not and you will not be judged yourselves…Be compassionate as your heavenly Father is compassionate…".Someone called Jesus said this!!!
9:37. Maybe so but folk are right to be concerned given the priests past. Too many times in the past we have glossed over a priest's serious actions and they have continued in their wicked ways. There is a thing called risk management and the risk of Dallat re-offending in his lusty pursuit of women is simply too great a one to take in a girls school. Dallat never had any notion of leaving the priesthood. I would have thought more of him if he had. Better men than him have left because they couldn't follow the celibacy rule (which by the way is not scriptural). They did the honourable thing. Getting a woman pregnant and leaving her lying on a bathroom floor to miscarry whilst he went out for dinner is hardly honourable by any stretch of the imagination. Given his lack of honour or compassion for the woman who was carrying his child does not make him fit to pastor to anyone let alone schoolgirls. Yes we can forgive but we must NEVER forget.
At 11:12pm – you go first 🤣
He has a coarse auld mug.

Agents embrace bite-sized training videos
Tourism New Zealand has launched a new approach to educate travel agents on New Zealand and it is proving to be a runaway success.
Tourism New Zealand has developed a series of short videos designed to help agents sell New Zealand to their clients. As a joint initiative across UK, Germany and the USA markets, the videos were designed to answer agents' key questions about New Zealand.
A screenshot from one of the videos highlighting New Zealand's diverse offerings
"There are tens of thousands of travel agents operating in these markets, and just a few Tourism New Zealand Trade executives on the ground. We needed to find a more efficient method of reaching travel agents at scale so we decided to create training content in a series of short videos and post them online. This enables travel agents to learn about New Zealand at their leisure, in bite-sized, easily digestible and visual formats," says Michelle Rosenberg, Tourism New Zealand's Senior Trade Manager of America.
So far the initiative has launched with two videos, both 3-4 minutes long: 1) How to overcome selling barriers, and 2) How to sell New Zealand's landscapes and wildlife. Four more videos will be added to the collection over the coming month covering self-driving in New Zealand, Maori culture, seasons in New Zealand, and the ease of domestic travel within New Zealand.
"In the UK we have started distributing the videos using paid social media, as travel agent audiences can be targeted on social platforms. We embedded the videos in LinkedIN advertisements that ran from 24 April to 6 June 2018. Over the campaign period the videos were viewed in their entirety by 8,800 agents. The view rate was 40% – among the highest recorded by a Tourism New Zealand campaign in the UK. This shows that our media targeting of travel agents is working," says Pip Casey, Regional Manager for Tourism New Zealand in UK & Europe.
"We are very pleased with the results and it shows the potential of digital channels for training purposes. We're now refining the media approach and assessing other digital channels so that we can make an even bigger impact. From September we will launch the four new videos in a range of display and social media in the UK and will extend the campaign to Germany as well", says Ms Casey.

Highlights from Andrew Gilligan's report on investing in cycling in Cambridge, Milton Keynes and oxford
The report by former London cycling commissioner Andrew Gilligan in July 2018 highlights the need for £200m worth of improved cycling infrastructure in Cambridge, Oxford and Milton Keynes.
We have presented some interesting facts taken from the report:
Cambridge, Milton Keynes and Oxford all need an effective, cheap and – given the special nature of the historic cities' centres – low-impact way of increasing transport capacity and catering for growth. Cycling is all three.
Cycling is something which already epitomises both cities; which, in Cambridge, already has a greater share of journeys than any other mode, and in Oxford not much less. Yet even in Oxford and Cambridge, policymakers treat bikes as essentially marginal – so imagine what cycling could do with the attention it deserves.
Cycling is a serious mode in both places. It has a 43% share of work journeys entirely within Cambridge (car is 25%) and a 29% share of all work journeys by Cambridge residents. Cycling has a 25% share of home to work journeys entirely within Oxford (car is 27%) and a 17% share of all commuting by Oxford residents.
In fact about 75 per cent of work journeys within Oxford and Cambridge are not made by car. The number of people cycling to work in Oxford is six times the UK average.
The Government is spending about ten times more on one road project in Cambridgeshire, the dualling of a few miles of the A428, than it spends in its dedicated annual budgets for cycling across the whole of England.
The Government should fund cycling in these places in a way which reflects how people actually do and could travel. In particular, recognise Oxford and Cambridge as the special cases which they are now, and as the trailblazers for others which they could become.
It is recommended that £150m of the proposed £200m should be spent in and around Oxford.
London's new superhighway schemes included segregated tracks, completely protected from traffic, on Blackfriars Bridge and the Victoria Embankment. By November 2016, six months after they opened, the number of cyclists using these roads had risen by 55 and 54 per cent, respectively, over pre-construction levels. During the rush hour the Blackfriars Bridge track, which takes up about 20 per cent of the roadspace, carries 70 per cent of all traffic on the bridge.
Opposition to reallocating roadspace from motoring to cycling is often based on the belief that motor traffic is like water. If you narrow the pipe, runs this argument, it will flood. If you make one route harder to drive down, the same volume of traffic will simply flow to the next easiest route. But in London, this did not happen in practice. Traffic is not a force of nature. It is the product of human choices. If we want more people to choose cycling, we need to make it more attractive.
In Oxford, traffic on the Botley Road, the main entry from the west, went up by 10 per cent in 2016 alone and at The Plain roundabout, the main entry from the east, by 5.9 per cent. Disappointingly, as motor vehicle numbers have risen, these approaches have also seen noticeable falls in cycling

Trust The Thrust: SpaceX Dragon 2 Is One Step Closer To Mankind's Giant Leap Into Space
SpaceX has had many ups and downs (literally) in its quest for sustainable rocketry, but with every test flight, they are inching closer to the goal of having an updated, manned spacecraft to explore the cosmos with (or at least make manned trips to the ISS.) Now, we've learned that this mission has continued apace...
A DragonFly test vehicle throws down with its thrusters during flight tests of the new system.

Despite SpaceX's recent failure to land a returning rocket on a barge, they were met with more considerable success in the test-firing of their Dragon 2 capsule.
Not your stereotypical-looking Dragon, but it still breathes a lot of fire!
(Image courtesy en.wikipedia.org.)
The "Crew Dragon" (as opposed to the unmanned delivery-vehicle Dragons that currently ferry supplies to the ISS) was given a "hover test", in which it was suspended over a launchpad and allowed to fire its propulsive thrusters. These thrusters, much like in the classic game Lunar Lander, control the speed and trajectory of descent back to earth.
The Dragon 2 is designed to hold up to seven astronauts, so safety is at a paramount. As reported by popsci.com, the tests were successfully completed last November, with the video hitting youtube yesterday. The account of the test was as follows:
"Eight SuperDraco thrusters, positioned around the perimeter of the vehicle in pairs called "jet packs", fired up simultaneously to raise the Crew Dragon spacecraft for a five-second hover, generating approximately 33,000 lbs of thrust before returning the vehicle to its resting position. This test was the second of a two-part milestone under NASA's Commercial Crew Program. The first test—a short firing of the engines intended to verify a healthy propulsion system—was completed November 22, and the longer burn two-days later demonstrated vehicle control while hovering."
Is it weird that this elicits an "aww" of cuteness from us?
While the initial landings will likely take place via the time-tested NASA tradition of having the spacecraft plunge through the atmosphere while deploying a parachute, there's no denying that SpaceX is on the shortlist to eventually create a spacecraft where all aspects of launch and landing can be directly controlled by its attendant astronauts.
Just add astronauts: the interior of the Dragon 2.
(Image courtesy inverse.com.)
NASA has announced their initial commercial crew, which is comprised of four veteran American astronauts. Of the three Dragon 2's in production, one will fly unmanned to the International Space Station, while the other two will follow at later dates, bearing the crew. Additionally, if successful, the first Dragon 2 will be assessed for damages and then re-used for an in-flight abort test to be conducted off the coast of Florida.
Depending on how effectively the program moves forward, the Dragon 2 could be transporting humans to the space station as early as next year.
Godspeed, SpaceX!
The "Crew Dragon" set loose: a Dragon 2 succeeds in a launchpad abort test conducted last May.

Watch: WINNER's Song Mino And Kang Seung Yoon Take "Amazing Saturday" By Storm In New Preview
by E. Cha
WINNER's Song Mino and Kang Seung Yoon will be bringing the heat to tvN's "Amazing Saturday"!
In a newly released preview for the show's upcoming episode, the two WINNER members make a memorable—and passionate—guest appearance on the variety program.
While introducing themselves, Kang Seung Yoon explains that even though he is the youngest, he is the leader of their group. Meanwhile, Song Mino becomes defensive about the "cute airhead" image he has cultivated on other variety programs, insisting, "Honestly, I'm not actually ignorant. I just sometimes can't remember things momentarily."
Unfortunately, however, it's an uphill struggle for the rapper to prove himself to the cast—after listening to the snippet of a song to which they must guess the lyrics, a confused Song Mino asks, "We only get to listen to it once?"
Kang Seung Yoon, on the other hand, confidently declares, "I'm completely sure [of my answer]." The thrilled "Amazing Saturday" cast exclaims, "We'll get to eat!" and "Seung Yoon, help us out!"
Later on, when Song Mino takes a long time to respond to a question, SHINee's Key jokes, "Mino is buffering." As Kang Seung Yoon continues to showcase his logical thinking and impressive listening skills, the cast enthuses, "He really is the leader!" Song Mino then turns to Hanhae and jokingly asks, "Are they always this catty on the show?"
When Kang Seung Yoon makes a correct guess, Song Mino playfully comments, "I'm just going easy on him for now." The preview then shows the rapper passionately jumping to his feet to dispute some lyrics, exclaiming, "This seems like a typo! This is a typo!" and "This seems unnatural and forced."
As Song Mino steps up his game, the cast members remark, "If we play one more round, I think [Song Mino] will score a hit. He's finally getting started."
The next episode of "Amazing Saturday" will air on December 29 at 7:40 p.m. KST.
In the meantime, check out the new preview below!

Cookies inspired by Japanese cuisine
Masako, an Osaka-based mother and baker extraordinaire, creates cookies inspired by Japanese cuisine. While the tiny treats may look like mini meals, they're actually simple sugar cookies topped with intricately sculpted icing – a delicious and inventive craft she showcases on Instagram.
An avid baker, Masako has documented her collection of cookies for about a year now. While always impressive, her dessert designs have come a long way—though she's always had a penchant for recreating familiar foods. In the past, she often paid homage to classic snacks like bacon, hot dogs, and cupcakes, as well as a delicious assortment of strikingly realistic cakes. She's also reimagined bouquets of flowers, festive holiday trimmings, and even impressive icing drawings of beloved movie characters. Few of her creations, however, were as detailed as the Japanese food-inspired treats she beautifully bakes today.
Far from your average cookies, Masako's latest creations transcend sprinkles, frosting,
Exotic Infused Sauce Delivers a Welcome Kick to Food and Cocktails
Two leading food companies have devised a flagship sauce that packs all the color, taste and characteristics of Japan's Tokushima Prefecture in a bottle.
Months of collaboration between Bando Foods and Kawazoe Orchard has resulted in the tangy and spicy Bakasco, a yuzu-infused pepper-like sauce, designed to give food an extra boost in quality.
The sauce defines the very essence and charm of the nature-rich Tokushima as all the selected, main ingredients packed into a bottle of Bakasco – chilli peppers, yuzu juice, and persimmons – are sourced from the prefecture.
Bakasco has been certified organic by the Japanese Standards of Agriculture (JAS). It is perfect for pork stir-fries, gyozas, thick Japanese noodles and fried foods.
The sauce, which comes in a 60ml bottle, can also be used to make spaghetti with oil and garlic, and be used with assorted seafood rice bowls, sashimi, oysters, roast beef, meat dishes, soups,
Is Learning Japanese Hard? No! And The Pros Outweigh The Cons
Did you know learning a second language makes you smarter? Research shows that bilingualism increases cognitive function as you age and delays the onset of dementia. In addition, you become more tolerant and improve your cultural intelligence. That's a competitive edge for people who work with globally distributed teams.
Although it may be a herculean task to speak like a local, being bilingual, or even a polyglot, builds your brain muscles. An MRI scan has proven that some parts of language students' brains have enlarged compared to those in a control group. So, if you want to develop more of your global and social skills, then why not learn Japanese? It's not that tough as you think, and learning it has more pros than cons.
Pros of Learning Japanese

Pandemic cuisine: Odd pairings, old favorites on the menu
NEW YORK — Whether it's kimchi, beets or broccoli, the pandemic has had a strange impact on food cravings that goes beyond the joy of comfort eating.
Nearly a year into isolation, many people are embracing foods long forgotten or rejected for taste, texture or smell. Some have forced themselves to re-evaluate health-focused foods to help boost their immune systems. And with home cooking at a high, there's a new adventurousness in the kitchen.
For Maeri Ferguson, 31, in Brooklyn, it's all about pears.
After recovering from COVID-19, she spent months without normal taste and smell. So many foods she loved just didn't satisfy. Now, Ferguson can again sense sweetness, saltiness and spiciness, but most foods lack nuance in flavor.
Not pears.
"My whole life I always passed on pears. Not because I didn't like them. They just intimidated me," Ferguson said. "I didn't understand the differences between varietals, how

How we killed final year female LASU student, suspects give gory details
...Police exhume body
Agency Reporter
Suspected killers of Miss Favour Daley-Oladele on Saturday narrated the gory details of how the final year Sociology student of Lagos State University (LASU) was gruesomely murdered for money rituals at Ikoyi-Ile in Osun.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the three principal suspects gave the gory details after Osun homicide police detectives exhumed the victim's dismembered body from a dry shallow well at Ikoyi-Ile.
NAN reports that Babatunde Kokumo, Osun Commissioner of Police, led detectives from the Homicide Section of the command during the exhumation operation.
When the remains was exhumed, the head, the two breasts, neck and part of the two legs were no longer there.
NAN recalls that the deceased was allegedly killed by a prophet, Segun Philip, 42, and her boyfriend, Adeeko Owolabi, 22, in Ikoyi-Ile, Osun, on Dec. 8, for money rituals.
Owolabi's mother, Ruth was also said to have played a role in the dastardly act.
Owolabi, also a graduate of LASU, told newsmen during operation that he conspired with the prophet to murder her girlfriend for money rituals.
According to him, he lured the deceased to Ikoyi-Ile and lodged her in an hotel before killing her.
"After I lodged her in a guest house, I took her to a house which I claimed to be my uncle's house, knowing fully well that the place was a ritualists den.
"I smashed a pestle on her head and she collapsed.
"The prophet thereafter used a knife and cutlass to dismember her body which was divided into three parts breasts, head and legs with other vital parts.
"We buried the remaining part of her body beside Prophet Philip's Church called 'Solution Salvation Chapel', while some vital parts was given to my mother to eat for spiritual cleansing," he said.
Also speaking with newsmen, Segun Philip, who claimed to be a prophet in Solution Salvation Chapel, said the deceased was murdered to make money rituals for Owolabi.
"I am not a prophet but a herbalist who engages in spiritual cleansing for whosoever come to my place.
"I used the Solution Salvation Chapel as a cover up not to allow people know the true picture of who I am and what I do.
"Owolabi came to my place for money rituals and I told him that we need a complete human being for the rituals.
"And on December 8, he brought his girlfriend to my church and we killed her and as well dismembered her body part for money rituals.
Owolabi's mother, Ruth, who also spoke with newsmen said she was not aware that the concoction given to her to eat and the cream was made of human part.
The police commissioner said detectives carried out thorough investigation to ascertain the actual place the deceased was buried, adding that the police would ensure that justice prevailed in the matter.
The CP urged Nigerians to be vigilant and always report any suspicious and unlawful act to the nearest police station for quick response.
