One legacy of South Africa's fragmented, racially-segregated society has been incredible violence. To change that story, the city of Cape Town and the German Development Bank are harnessing the power of design. Through an inventive program, Violence Prevention through Urban Upgrading (VPUU), these players and many local non-profits are transforming Khayelitsha, one of the most dangerous townships in South Africa, into a safer, more livable place. At the World Urban Forum in Medellin, Colombia, the team behind the VPUU program said since the development of this 5-year, $11 million, community-driven project, murders are down 33 percent in Harare, one section of the township, and 22 percent in Khayelitsha overall. Furthermore, almost 90 percent of the area's 250,000 residents say living conditions have improved.
The city assembled a team of local planners, urban designers, landscape architects, and architects to create four "safe nodes," each serving about 50,000 residents. Leading from Harare Square all the way to the Khayelitsha railway station, these nodes provide new infrastructure, such as a well-lit pedestrian mall, which enables "safe walking," said Michael Krause, team leader for the program.
Along the route, there are also new public facilities, including the Peace Park community building, Ncomu road community building and urban park, and Kwamfundo school sports complex. The idea is to provide "opportunities for everyday life and spontaneous activity." Community buildings offer spaces for meetings. These facilities are also rented out, earning income for maintaining the public spaces. There's a new supermarket and retail area, too.
VPUU team landscape architect Tarna Klitzner designed some of the public spaces to be "learning platforms," given only 600 of the area's 4,000 children under 6 are in school. There's a new interactive playground. "These educational interventions also help to create safe public spaces that foster a sense of community," said Krause.
A sense of community seems to be forming. "People are now looking after the public spaces. Graffiti hasn't been a problem." If there are maintenance issues, they are fixed by an on-site crew within 24 hours or less. Also, some neighbors have been given special responsibility for maintaining the new public spaces. They are recognized with brooms.
plants are low-growing vegetation." The few trees planted are protected with frames, but these often get stolen.
Ewing told me that Khayelitsha's relationship with water and nature is slowly changing. Water taps are being upgraded, given they are already community gathering spots.
Setting up a coordinated system for dealing with excess stormwater has also proven tricky. "There are knock-off effects with stormwater, such as drainage. Where does it go? It's going to impact someone," said Ewing. The design team has experimented with using sand to deal with stormwater management, given applying a comprehensive system of vegetation to deal with runoff is still a ways off.
While these infrastructural improvements have enhanced quality of life, Graham said "we have unfortunately only scratched the surface on our gang issues." Hopefully, this program can help show us what mix of design and social action really works to reduce violence over the long-term.

Using space design to reduce violence and create peace, and hopefully more play and sense of community.

Q: Special characters (with tilde) in NSIS MessageBox I'm having some trouble with the following message box and a spanish character:
MessageBox MB_OK "Se ha producido un error durante la instalación del Framework .NET."

That is actually showing:
Se ha producido un error durante la instalaci?n del Framework .NET.

Without the 'ó' character.
I think the language is correctly loaded, with the following lines in the start of the file:
;Loads the Nsis language file, necessary for unistall messages.
LoadLanguageFile "${NSISDIR}\Contrib\Language files\Spanish.nlf"

I have seen some solutions, but they used very different code and I bet there is a very simple way to do this. Thanks a lot!
PD: I'm using NSIS 2.46. I know I should upgrade to 2.50, but it's not doable right now.

A: Which version of NSIS do you use? Are you sure the Spanish language file (.nlf for classic GUI and .nsh for MUI2) are correct?
If they are OK then try to build your installer with UNICODE version of NSIS - download from http://www.scratchpaper.com/

Trying to fall asleep last night was impossible, and not because of anything a put in my weathered and broken body. Just like the day before my first date with the senior Pom-Pom's Captain (hell ya...I did!), I tossed and turned thinking about what the new day could bring. Back in High School it was daydreaming of her spirit fingers touching anything that wasn't hers, while last night it was Baron's beard, Stephen's crazed-stare, Nellie's mafia attire, and the Warrior faithful partyin' like their at that Johnny Utah surfer-party in Point Break. I mean Jessica 'frickin' Alba was sitting court-side Homeboys! What can I say…the GST Zubaz are already on, my Everclear Jungle-Juice is already mixed, and my mini-nerf hoop has a new globetrotter net…its gameday baby! Oh yeah, and we also have the early contest with Williams & Boozer's pick n' roll verses T-Mac & Ming's isolation show, which has my ATS mind more excited then when I learned I had a second date with Ms. Spirit Fingers! It's time fellaz…Let's put the women and midgets to bed and go lookin' for some Kobe beef and caviar!

Drawing on her decades of experience in caring for pregnant women, mothers, and babies, Ina May Gaskin explores the health and psychological benefits of breastfeeding and gives you invaluable practical advice that will help you nurse your baby in the most fulfilling way possible. Inside you'll find answers to virtually every question you have on breastfeeding.
Supply problems, colic, GERD-reflux, fussy baby, fatigue and depression and more common problems after birth can be influenced and improved with changes in diet. Read this book to understand how a low-fat diet, insulin resistance, IGT, PCOS, tongue-tie, and exposure to toxins can influence a mothers' and her baby's health. Learn how simple steps and food choices can lead to vast improvement. Jacobson's well-researched and compassionate book shows mothers how to optimize their supply while addressing the underlying issues. Mother Food is recommended by lactation consultants, midwives, and birth preparation teachers. By eating a maximum of lactogenic foods and herbs in their diet, mothers achieve control over their breastfeeding experience and gain peace of mind. Mother Food is packed with recipes and guidelines that help mothers navigate both low and high milk supply, baby's colic, food sensitivities and allergies, and a mother's feeling depressed, tired and foggy-minded.
Sweet Sleep is the first and most complete book on nights and naps for breastfeeding families. It's mother-wisdom, reassurance, and a how-to guide for making sane and safe decisions on how and where your family sleeps, backed by the latest research.
By: Martha Sears R.N. and William Sears M.D.
In recent years there has been a resurgence of interest in breastfeeding. Yet first-time mothers often lack the support and the knowledge they need. Many of the available books fail to address the practical challenges that confront many women (especially women who work outside the home) when they choose to breastfeed. For these women, The Breastfeeding Book is a godsend.
Breastfeeding is natural, but it is not entirely instinctive for either mothers or babies. The Nursing Mother's Companion has been among the best-selling books on breastfeeding for over 30 years, with over 1 million copies sold. It is respected and recommended by professionals, including The International Lactation Consultant Association, T. Berry Brazelton and The American Academy of Pediatrics, and is well loved by new parents for its encouraging and accessible style. Kathleen Huggins equips breastfeeding mothers with all the information they need to overcome potential difficulties and nurse their babies successfully from the first week through the toddler years, or somewhere in between.
It's no secret that breastfeeding is the normal, healthy way to nourish and nurture your baby. Dedicated to supporting nursing and expectant mothers, the internationally respected La Leche League has set the standard for educating and empowering mothers in this natural art for generations.

LucumaTom Jacoby2021-06-22T14:49:30-05:00
Lucuma (Pouteria lucuma O.Ktze.) , a fruit found across the Andes and sometimes called 'Gold of the Incas' was first recorded by Europeans in Ecuador in 1531. Archeologists found it widely represented in designs on ceramic pottery in burial sites of indigenous people of coastal Peru, which would indicate it was an esteemed resource even in ancient times. Today its popularity in Peru is still so strong, that at least twenty six villages are named after it!
Looking a bit like an avocado crossed with a pear, Lucuma has been called 'the eggfruit' in English because of the flesh's dry, hard-boiled egg yolk texture. While this may not sound very appetizing, the fruit's sweetness (described as similar to maple syrup and sweet potato) has made it the most popular ice cream flavor in Peru.
The difficulty of shipping the fruit itself all the way from the Andes makes it fairly difficult for us to experience it fresh. We are fortunate though, to be able to have it in the form of a fine dehydrated powder, ideal for use as a low glycemic index sweetener in baking, or adding it to our favorite smoothies and cold and hot beverages.
Why would we want to incorporate Lucuma into our diets? To start with, as mentioned above, it has a low glycemic index, making it safe for use by diabetics as a sweetener, and an excellent choice for those who have concerns about the effects of regular sugar.
Lucuma is packed with antioxidants, always useful in combatting the effects of aging. Because of its antibiotic, antimicrobial and antifungal properties, it has long been used in South America as a healing medicine. It also contains high amounts of healthy carbohydrates, making it a great energy booster, and a valuable 'brain food'. Studies have shown that Lucuma may have potential in reducing hypertension.
Healthy levels of calcium, beta-carotene, zinc, iron, vitamin C, niacin, fiber and 14 essential trace minerals indicate that Lucuma is indeed worthy of its 'Gold of the Incas' nickname. It is interesting to note that Lucuma takes 5 years from planting, to start to bear fruit. But from then on, it will produce up to 500 fruits per season, and will bear fruit even in times of harsher growing conditions (drought, etc.) which result in scarcity of other food sources. So Lucuma and its high nutrient content has been at times, a life-saving resource.
In addition to the powdered form of the fruit, the oil of the Lucuma nut (its large seed) has been found to be useful in medical treatments of skin damage, promoting skin regeneration.

The police chief in Gilberton, Penn., expects to be fired for posting incendiary videos in which he ranted obscenely about the 2nd Amendment and liberals while spraying machine-gun fire with borough-owned weapons.
Mark Kessler, whose pro-gun videos have garnered hundreds of thousands of views online, is serving a 30-day suspension for what the Gilberton council has said was unauthorized use of weapons. The suspension ends tomorrow, and the council could decide his fate Friday night.
Kessler no intention of going away quietly.
With an Internet radio show, speaking invitations to gun rallies around the country, and a newly formed "Constitution Security Force" that he claims already has chapters in 45 states, the 41-year-old coal miner-turned-cop said his message -- that the federal government is too big, too powerful and wants to grab guns -- is resonating with a segment of the public that believes as he does.
If Kessler's worried about losing job, he's not showing it.
"If that's the price I got to pay for standing up for what I believe in, apparently for what a lot of Americans believe in, I'm willing to pay that price," said Kessler, speaking to The Associated Press at a gun range near Gilberton in northeast Pennsylvania.
If anything, his rhetoric has grown even more menacing.
This week, Kessler posted another potty-mouthed video in which he displayed paper targets with scary-looking clowns on them, dubbed "Eric" and "Danny." Those happen to be the first names of Council President Daniel Malloy and Vice President Eric Boxer, whom he has attacked on his website.
In an earlier video, Kessler savaged Secretary of State John Kerry as a "traitor" over a U.S.-backed international arms treaty. "COME AND TAKE IT!" he screamed, firing a machine gun.
Kessler said he posted that video and others like it partly out of frustration, and partly in an effort to get people to pay attention to an issue he holds dear: The erosion of 2nd Amendment and other constitutional rights.
Now that he's achieved a measure of notoriety for his obscenity-filled rants against government tyranny and people he calls "libtards," Kessler said he worries the federal government will try to silence him. He predicted chaos if that happens.
But he also warned the government would be in a fight if it ever tried to take away his guns.
The FBI said it's aware of the police chief and his videos.
Kessler said he decided to speak out after the administration of President Barack Obama began a push for new gun laws in response to the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.
Most Gilberton residents approached by the AP this week declined to speak on the record.
But some, like Bill Yohn, said it's hard to reconcile the lawman they know with the profane, provocative figure on the videos.
Kessler, who is married with four children and two grandchildren, acknowledged how the videos portray him.

I am a huge fan of Instagram, in fact I spend an extraordinary amount of time on it, looking at photos and adding my own. In fact if you want the latest of what I'm eating and drinking then please follow me, as I update it multiple times a day. It is through this social medium that I tend to find a lot of the places that I want to visit. They say a picture is worth a thousand words and in the food game it is. I was happily scrolling through my feed on Friday when I saw that Rye Post, one of Itaewon's best sandwich joints, would be offering up brunch starting from the coming weekend. Being a girl who likes to have brunch plans, I packed up my two best boys and set off to give it a try.
Rye Post has been open for a couple for years now. They started off by selling sandwiches, they then extended the menu to include burgers. And now they have produced this new brunch menu which will run from 9am – 2pm on weekends. I'm not usually one to visit a restaurant on opening weekend, but the food looked so good in the pictures I couldn't resist. It also saved me a trip across to Gangnam for brunch instead (for this week at least). There are only four brunch items on the menu so far, but it is possible they will add more soon, they also have the normal menu running alongside it, so there is something there for everyone.
The dish I was most interested in was the Eggs Benedict (16,000). The two poached eggs came perched upon two pieces of sourdough toast and fried ham, and were smothered in a rich and tangy hollandaise. I really loved this, the hollandaise was one of the best I have had in a long time, just the right amount of tang and butteriness. The fried ham almost had a baconish quality and the toast made it a hearty and filling brunch. To accompany this even lovely brunch were the tastiest fried potatoes I have had in quite some time. They were crispy salt and herby and I could have eaten an entire plateful. I was supposed to share this with the Chubby Hubby, but thought better of it after eating my half.
The Chubby Hubby ordered the Baked Eggs (16,000). This to me was a great rendition of shakshuka, which we often make at home. The eggs came poached in a tangy spicy tomato sauce and came with a thin breakfast sausage. Visually the sausage seemed really lacking in the girth department, however it was fine in flavour and texture. It seemed a lot like a traditional British sausage. It also came with a slice of toasted sour dough which really rounded our the dish and was great for moping up the last of the yummy sauce. CH was very happy with it overall, and not even two disappointed that i didn't share my eggs benny.
Lastly we ordered the Big Breakfast (18,000) a take on the classic fry up. of two eggs, two sausages, bacon, mushrooms, tomato, potatoes, beans and toast. There was plenty going on on this plate, I was jealous I hadn't ordered it myself. The potatoes were once again the star of the show, but every other element was well done. After we had finished our meal the staff brought round a plate of Blueberry Pancakes (14,000) for us to share. This completed every breakfast item on the menu for us. We had no problems finishing off the sweet treat, but it was the savoury items that stole the show for me.
Overall we all enjoyed our food, there was not a morsel left on any of our plates. The brunch items may seem a bit steep to some, but there are very few places you can get brunch these days for less or maybe I've just become acclimatised to the prices. On the drink side, the Coffee (3,500) is cheap which made a nice change, and they told me they plan to add Mimosas to the menu very soon, so it will make a good spot for day drinking. The location in the heart of Itaewon makes it almost definite that I shall be returning again soon. Good work Rye Post, hope you stick with it, because your food is delicious.
Rye Post is located at 72-34 Itaewon 1-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul. To get there take a train to Itaewon Station (line 6) and come out of exit 4. Walk straight down this street, until you see the third set of traffic lights. You will see Rye Post on your left below Route 66. For more information you can call them on 07-792-9991 or check out their facebook page. They are open for brunch on Saturday & Sunday from 9am – 2pm.


We wish to inform you that the Electric Vehicle Alliance (EVA) represents a broad assembly of private sector organizations involved in vehicle manufacturing and assembly, fleet operations, battery solutions, electricity provision and after-sales servicing, academic institutions, government officials and civil society groups. EVA is spearheading the transition of the country towards a low emission transport regime, particularly through the sustained deployment of electric vehicles.
We wish to inform you that, in principle, EVA supports the aims enunciated by the eTrikes proposal that your office is currently evaluating. We urge your office, however, to postpone decisions over the requested reallocation of USD110 million away from the original stipulaton in the approved Country Investment Plan of the Philippines with respect to the Clean Technology Fund.
We believe further deliberation is warranted in order to correct what may be flaws in the proposal as designed and which can help ensure the genuinely transformational utilization of the CTF.
1) Country ownership: As documents from the Philippine government will demonstrate, country ownership of the initiative is far from certain. We attach, as an example, a document from the Department of Energy expressly stipulating that this is largely an ADB-driven initiative, a fact that is the subject of public debate at present.
In addition, as the the lead agency that determines climate change policy and operational coherence with regard to Philippine mitigatory and adaptation measures, there has been no formal involvement of the Climate Change Commission in the crafting, much less finalization, of the said proposal. The eTrikes initiative remains under intensive discussion at the National Economic and Development Authority (the Philippine planning authority) as to whether or not it will be included in the Investments Coordination Committee of the country.
2) Lack of government consultations with the private sector, civil society and academe. The Department of Energy itself has stated that it has not undertaken formal consultations with stakeholders to the enterprise, particularly the transport sector and the banking sector. (Using subsidized credit from the CTF the eTrikes project may potentially crowd out commercial banks intent on opening lending windows for e-vehicle financing) and, particularly, the renewable energy industry from whose sector the USD110 million is going to be diverted. No member of the renewable energy industry, in fact, has been consulted over the reallocation of the funds.
* No feasibility study has been presented to sectors that stand to gain from, or be adversely impacted by, the eTrikes proposal. We believe such a brief should actually be the basis for consultations that the Philippine government is obliged to undertake.
* The project unbundles the undertaking into four operational clusters that will be bidded out: motor and controller; battery supply; charging station and chassis/body. It is uncertain if there is a fifth cluster on after-sales service, specifically because is no bidding process for the assembly stage of the operations. This last point particularly invites sticky warranty and legal issues – if there is no aggregator of the different clusters of the project, the question is who will assume liabilities? We hope it is not the Philippine government.
Furthermore, haphazard unbundling may also involve questionable transactions down the road given the size of the undertaking. (A single firm that does not undergo bidding may end up assembling 100,000 E-Trikes that, as the project proponent states, will be given away to "beneficiaries").
We can identify further concerns but suffice it to say, from the examples cited above, a postponement of decisions by the CTF board is warranted.
We would be pleased to share with you further details about issues that will arise if decisions are made with undue haste.
The statement is a clear expression of the stand taken by stakeholders in the e-trike saga. It is also clear that many if not most stakeholders have not been consulted in the rush towards the deployment of 100,000 electric tricycles. While the ADB and the DOE may have meant well in pushing for electric tricycles to replace the conventional ones, railroading e-trikes will cost the fledgling local industries a lot considering the possibility that the electric vehicles will all be imported from China. It should be noted, however, that there has really been little or no success at this stage since the e-trikes that have been donated have only added to the current fleets comprising of legitimate and colorum tricycles. Perhaps in the haste or excitement associated with the potential positive impacts of e-trikes (e.g., low emission transport) on the environment, the bigger picture concerning issues on public transport in Philippine cities and towns has been disregarded. But then this might be understandable since the approach appears to be still mostly from the energy perspective rather than transport's. It should be emphasized again that the DOTC, as the lead transport agency with a mandate to draw up policy concerning transport in the country, should be active in the discussions and present a clear road map for what transport should be in terms of hierarchy and taking into consideration the relationship between demand and supply. Then perhaps the direction we are taking in relation to low emission transport such as electric vehicles will be a clearer and, not to mention, a straighter one.

Destiny Hoitt is a freshman at Northern Arizona University. In the summer of 2019, she will be traveling with a group of college-aged students on a 49-day, 4000+ mile run from San Francisco to Boston, raising money and awareness for the Ulman Foundation.
My mom had a friend who I was very close to that passed away from cancer. She was like an aunt to me. At the time I was only 4 so I did not fully understand the impact that a loss of someone close to you can have. It saddens me knowing that she was taken so young but she is in a better place now. Rest in Peace, Desarai. You are dearly missed.
I am doing this 4,000 mile trek across the country to help support cancer patients and their families. The Ulman Foundation does amazing things for those in need and to support such an incredible cause holds a place in my heart.

Do you know of any Social Media site that creates custom #hashtags for you? Well, Google+ does!
And they do even more: when starting to type a #hashtag, Google kicks in and offers in a drop-down menue with suggested hashtags starting with the letters you have typed so far. Isn't that fantastic?
And the best is: these #hashtags offered by Google+ are significant to their search engine ranking. If you add your own hashtags to a post, Google+ will display up to three of them in the upper right corner of your Google+ post. Initially, one is visible, but hovering your mouse over that one will show readers the other two #hashtags. Google+ users create in fact a #hashtag database and help establish what tags will be related. In a way it is up to Google+ users what's relevant on Google's search engine ranking.
No problem: If your post has a large amount of text, Google+ will often find main keywords within your text and convert them into #hashtags, which are visible at the upper right of your post, just as your own #hashtags would be.
It determined in the past which pages should rank the highest, but now with implementing these #hashtags, Google added a "self-learning" aspect into its algorithm. How to find out what's trending on Google+ go to "Explore Google". See a short YouTube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAMrGAU0Jsw. Another YouTube video http://youtu.be/19BKS_hHKYY explains in details what #hashtags are about.
Authors barely ever use all the space they get on their Amazon or Goodreads author pages. Scan the article or parts of it and add it as a photo to your page. If it was a video interview, get a copy to place it on YouTube and all free video sharing sites and certainly on all your author pages at online retailers.
No matter if it was an article or a taped interview, post it on all the forums you are a member with, including a link, an image or a quote.
This can be done more frequently on Google+, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn – and with images on Pinterest. You can even mention and promote upcoming shows on your site – and on theirs. And certainly post after the show how awesome it was.
Why not adding snippets of the article (quote or image of the article, or a link to the video) as endorsement into your e-book, either in the first introduction pages or at the end of the book?
The endorsements implied by recognition from the media make you appear more trustworthy and credible – and thus more appealing – than your competition.
When applying you will greatly boost your chances of getting the gig if the people, hiring speakers know that you have received media attention. Make sure it's on your speaker profile and in your marketing material.
Whether you have paid someone to help you get media exposure or you have done the work yourself, you have made an investment in Public Relation. Get a great return on that investment and leverage the rewards for a long time, provided, you put it to work for you!

Q: Why does crypt(3) use DES? man 3 crypt clearly states that it uses DES. I thought DES was deprecated, but I see no notice that crypt would be deprecated.
Why does it not use AES instead, and is crypt(3) deprecated?
Is it simply a case of "DES is secure enough for the purpose of this library", and that programs should use other libraries for encryption of important stuff?

A: crypt is easily breakable (it was in fact written by Robert Morris, a famous contributor to the early Unix, as a workbench for codebreaking activities) and should not be used for anything important.
From the crypt manpage:

The DES algorithm itself has a few quirks which make the use of the crypt() interface a very poor choice for anything other than password authentication.  If you are planning on using the crypt() interface for a cryptography project, don't do it: get a good book on encryption and one of the widely available DES libraries.

For any real-world use, there are cryptographically stronger alternatives available, such as mcrypt and ccrypt (which uses AES).


Definition: A trust is a authorized arrangement in which the Grantor (the owner promoting the property) sells some thing (land, car, home, cellular house) to an established trust for the advantage of 1 or more beneficiaries.
12.) Make ideas now, prior to anything happens to you. Consider treatment of your family members by getting a will, designating a individual to make medical decisions for you with durable صيانة سامسونج for well being care, setting up a trust, etc. Grief on your own is enough to offer with. Spare your family from also getting to make a bunch of decisions that you could have taken treatment of ahead of time. Bernice and her husband Walter prepared every depth of their memorial solutions forward of time, right down to the hymns and the flowers. We can merely honor their wishes. What a present.
There are also "special" trusts that you can set up, 1 becoming a believe in for a unique requirements kid, which will allow your child to still qualify for condition and federal applications.
Ask or floor ideas. Having a floor strategy will help you to see which furnishings will match and which will not. You might wish to get rid of large items now and change them with smaller ones.
On the Blu-ray there's tons of terrificly interesting attributes, such as 1 on how a number of horses performed Secretariat and an interview with Penny Chenery – the lady who impressed the movie. Right here too is a Q&A with Penny about the creating of the movie.
Penny: Yeah, but I just experienced to pick my fight, pick my role. You by no means want to break up a marriage and I felt truly guilty about that but then where he was operating changed and so he moved to Southern California.
Take the contact, deliver the script phrase-for-word (sound like a broken record), dangle up (zero conversation), monitor the contact (on the monitoring sheet) and fax the tracking sheet to Customer Service.
20.) And even if you cannot be there, your ideas and prayers make a difference. Researchers are becoming conscious of what mystics have recognized for ages . at the main, we are all one. Bodily presence is not a prerequisite for link. Tender ideas and heartfelt prayers are never in vain. In fact, I suspect that being at the bedside feels so satisfying in component simply because it eliminates interruptions and allows us to devote our complete interest to our loved one. But we can select consciously to focus our attention on them anytime, anywhere. Interest and intention are extremely powerful.

Het Annuario Pontificio (Italiaans voor Pauselijk Jaarboek) is het officiële jaarboek van de Heilige Stoel, die het sinds 1860 jaarlijks uitgeeft. Pas sinds 1912 verschijnt het onder deze naam. Voorheen heette het La Gerarchia Cattolica (1872-1911) en oorspronkelijk Ecclesia Catholica. Notizie (1860-1871). Het jaarboek verschijnt in het Italiaans.

Het Annuario Pontificio biedt naast een volledige lijst van pausen tot heden, volledige, bijgewerkte lijsten met contactgegevens van alle dignitarissen van de Heilige Stoel en de dicasterieën van de Curie. Voorts volledige, bijgewerkte lijsten, met contactgegevens, van alle kardinalen en katholieke bisschoppen ter wereld, van de bisdommen, vicariaten, exarchaten, prefecturen, Romeinse congregaties, religieuze orden en hun besturen, katholieke universiteiten, instituten en instellingen andere gegevens met betrekking tot de vele geledingen van de Katholieke Kerk wereldwijd.

Van wat sinds 1912 het Annuario Pontificio is, het befaamde in rood linnen gebonden jaarboek, verschenen vanaf de 18e eeuw verschillende voorlopers, officieus, half-officieel en officieel en onder verschillende namen.

Tot 1967 werden wapens van alle kardinalen van de katholieke Kerk - in kleur - in het Annuario opgenomen. De jongere uitgaven bevatten twee kleurplaten: als frontispice een kleurenfoto van de paus en na de pausenlijst, aan het begin van  "La Gerarchia Catollica" ("de katholieke hiërarchie"), een afbeelding van zijn wapen.

Het nieuwe Annuario Pontificio wordt telkens in de eerste maanden van het jaar voorgesteld en bevat dan gegevens volledig bijgewerkt tot het einde van het voor-voorgaande jaar. Zo bijvoorbeeld zijn in het Annuario Pontificio 2008, dat einde februari 2008 aan de Paus werd aangeboden, alle gegevens bijgewerkt tot einde 2006.

Het verschijnen van het nieuwe Annuario Pontificio, met telkens weer een schat aan gegevens, zorgt soms voor opmerkelijk nieuws. Zo bleef het niet onopgemerkt dat in de uitgave 2006 de paustitel "Patriarch van het Westen" was geschrapt.

Het Annuario Pontificio mag niet worden verward met het Annuarium Statisticum Ecclesiae, het statistisch jaarboek van de Kerk. Hoewel het vanzelf ook cijfermateriaal bevat, ligt in het Annuario Pontificio de nadruk op namen, biografieën en adressen: een veeleer kwalitatieve benadering. Het statistisch jaarboek daarentegen, biedt een kwantitatieve benadering van de Kerk in de verschillende landen en werelddelen, inbegrepen statistische tabellen en grafieken, die kwantitatieve vergelijkingen en ontwikkelingen tonen, met statistische analyse, zowel van het ogenblik als door de tijd beschreven.

In het Annuario Pontificio worden per (aarts)bisdom met residentie – in het Italiaans: sedi residenziali – volgende statistische gegevens vermeld: de oppervlakte (km²), het aantal parochies en quasi-parochies, het aantal kerken of missieposten, het aantal weldadigheidsinstellingen, het aantal onderwijsinstellingen, het aantal seculiere priesters die in het bisdom wonen, het aantal diocesane priesters gedurende het jaar gewijd, het aantal reguliere priesters die in het bisdom wonen, het aantal reguliere priesters gedurende het jaar gewijd, het aantal permanente diakens, het aantal seminaristen die de opleiding in de wijsbegeerte en de godgeleerdheid volgen, het aantal leden van religieuze instituten voor mannen, het aantal leden van religieuze instituten voor vrouwen, het bevolkingsaantal van het bisdom, het aantal katholieken, het aantal doopsels.

Van paus Johannes Paulus I is bekend dat hij in zijn toespraak tot het College van Kardinalen op 30 augustus 1978, in afwijking van wat in zijn spreektekst stond, zei dat hij niets wist van de Romeinse Curie en dat het eerste wat hij deed als paus was het bestuderen van het Annuario Pontificio om te bezien hoe de Curie functioneerde.

Putin's war:
Damaging evidence of more war crimes
by Dr. Rey D. Pagtakhan
On March 26, at the Royal Castle in Warsaw, US President Joe Biden reaffirmed before the gathered leadership, guests, and people of Poland the united efforts of the free world to support the people of Ukraine in defence of their homeland, their identity, and their freedom, as well as the freedoms of all democratic nations.
"Be not afraid," he began his remarks invoking the first words first Polish Pope John Paul II said in Warsaw in his first trip back home in 1979 when the Soviet Union ruled with an iron fist behind an Iron Curtain, but which collapsed a decade later. President Biden reminded his audience that nothing about the great battle for freedom – a battle between democracy and autocracy, between liberty and repression – was easy or simple.
In the middle of his speech, he differentiated President Putin and his army from the Russian population in general, and appealed directly to the Russian people, saying:
"I refuse to believe that you welcome the killing of innocent children and grandparents or that you accept hospitals, schools, maternity wards that, for God's sake, are being pummelled with Russian missiles and bombs; or cities being surrounded so that civilians cannot flee; supplies cut off and attempting to starve Ukrainians into submission. Millions of families are being driven from their homes, including half of all Ukraine's children.
"You still have the memory of being in a similar situation in the late thirties and forties: the siege of Leningrad; train stations overflowing with terrified families fleeing their homes; nights sheltering in basements and cellars – these are not memories of the past. It's exactly what the Russian army is doing in Ukraine right now. Putin can and must end this war."
When closing his speech, the US President once more invoked Pope John Paul's words, "be not afraid."
He shamed Putin's imperial dream, "a dictator bent on rebuilding an empire will never erase a people's love for liberty."
Then he offered a promise, "a brighter future rooted in democracy and principle, hope and light, of decency and dignity, of freedom and possibilities."
Spontaneous and implicitly referencing to Putin, President Joe Biden closed his remarks with a deep sense of humanity: "For God's sake, this man cannot remain in power!"
Indeed, an impassioned ending to a historic speech! Inspiring words delivered off-the-cuff and straight from the heart of the leader of the free world.
No doubt they reflect how President Biden must have been deeply touched by first-hand accounts from the thousands of displaced Ukrainians whom he visited at the National Stadium in Warsaw hours before his centrepiece speech. Two-and-a-half million of the 4.5 million Ukrainians refugees have taken refuge in Poland.
No doubt they reflect his outrage at Putin's continuing war in Ukraine – unprovoked and unjustified – and its horrendous human consequences.
No doubt this nine-word, unscripted declaration will be fondly remembered by many, particularly by the people of Ukraine, now and in the generations to come.
Yet, there are critics
Some have lobbied criticisms perhaps out of genuine concern and fear the war could escalate and could make peace diplomacy more difficult. Or perhaps out of a wish to appease the aggressor. But what I found appalling were the voices of political partisanship: "should have remained on script; remarks were a gaffe; Putin is a genius; Ukraine President Zelenskyy is a thug." No less disturbing was the seeming call for appeasement. Let us simply remember that appeasement caused World War II.
More evidence of war crimes
It shall not be forgotten that direct Biden-Putin diplomatic dialogues before the Ukraine invasion did not prevent Putin's War. Neither did continued negotiations after the invasion – between the Ukrainian and Russian officials and via third-party interventions – produce an end to the civilian devastation. Just the evening after announcing it would scale back operations at face-to-face peace-talks in Turkey on March 29, Putin's army once again intensified its assault. CNN reported, "Chernihiv under 'colossal attack' despite Moscow's claim of scale a back in operations.''
On March 16 of the Drama Theatre was bombed. Over a thousand residents had taken shelter in the theatre thinking it was safe since the word "CHILDREN" was painted in Russian letters on the grounds, large enough to be visible from the sky. Some 600 were rescued but 300 were killed.
And now more damaging evidence of more war crimes perpetrated by the Russian army have emerged; the massacre in Bucha exposed after the retreat of Putin's army; the rocket attack on a railway station on April 8 in the eastern Ukrainian city of Kramatorsk where hundreds of people, including children, were gathered, waiting to evacuate. The death toll of 50 included five children and several others were injured.
The civilian death toll has surpassed 1,100, including 100 children. The wounded have numbered close to 1,800. The Russian forces have bombed 23 hospitals and other healthcare facilities, 330 schools, 27 cultural buildings, 900 houses and apartment buildings, killing 12 and injuring 34 healthcare workers. At least 1,500 civilian buildings, structures and vehicles have been destroyed.
Over 4.5 million or slightly over 10 per cent of Ukraine's pre-war population has fled to Poland, Romania, Moldova, and Hungary.
More war crimes! "For God's sake, this man cannot remain in power!"

A First Nations approach to success
How partnerships enhance success and sustainability
December 19, 2022 By Harold Reimer
Equipment and technology dealers can offer support through purchase and lease arrangements. Photos courtesy of Finning.
A vibrant and sustainable forestry sector and associated revenues are critical to British Columbia's economy, generating over $13 billion in GDP annually. For a sector that employs more than 43,000 people and makes up 29 per cent of B.C.'s total commodity export value, long-term sustainability is not just important, but crucial to the livelihoods of so many. The forestry sector depends on the right balance of economic and environmental longevity. As the province starts to move away from traditional governance to one of reconciliation, B.C. First Nations will play a key role in the industry's future.
Recent changes to government legislation and policies in the forestry sector will increase tenure for First Nations communities, allowing greater opportunity to experience economic benefits that come from resources being harvested on traditional and territorial Indigenous land. There are . new opportunities to create mutually beneficial partnerships, from government and private companies to equipment and technology dealers. The path to success depends on working together to support communities and businesses through respectful and collaborative partnerships. The relationship should place trust at the forefront, then provide the right financing, training, tools and support to help businesses get started on their journey to economic prosperity.
A new model for a better future
All lands in B.C. fall within the traditional or territorial boundaries of one or more First Nations. According to B.C.'s Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, of the approximately 48 million cubic metres of harvestable timber within Crown forest tenure systems, First Nations and communities, about 27 million is held by five companies, creating challenges for others to expand or acquire guaranteed long-term forest management tenure needed to warrant investment in equipment.
Potential legislation will allow the B.C. government to take some tenure back and redistribute it to First Nations and smaller companies. This is partly the result of the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act, passed into law in November 2019. It states that forests must be managed in a way that protects and enhances Indigenous people's ability to exercise their rights and uphold cultural values. It also promises to significantly improve forestry revenue-sharing.
As more commercial forests come under First Nation management, it's set to double previous dividends, which could see more than $130 million distributed this fiscal year to 184 eligible Nations. These communities will now be able to generate their own source of income and become independent, self-governing nations – should they choose to explore that option. For the industry as a whole, the benefits are clear – new jobs, new business opportunities and a chance to ensure a brighter future with greater prosperity for the forestry sector.
Supporting Indigenous economic reconciliation through partnerships
Collaborative initiatives and partnerships between First Nations and industry are already creating new jobs and opportunities, but more can be done. Building relationships through reconciliation, rather than governance, is key. Companies can support new business connections, skills training, and offer education close to home so Indigenous peoples can invest both money and skills back into the community. Supporting new business ventures can provide more ownership opportunities in forest infrastructure, sawmills, procurement, waste removal, and biomass companies to name a few. However, considerations need to be made around the owning and operating costs of new equipment, not to mention the learning curves for operators. Identifying and addressing the skills gap and offering training is equally as important as providing capital. And new technologies are unlikely to be used if they're not cost-effective or don't function well in harsh environments and remote forests.
Equipment and technology dealers can offer support through purchase and lease arrangements – structuring deals to ensure a better process is followed and crucial after sales support is provided. New technology can be brought into communities to map topography, track emissions and monitor fuel burn – helping to preserve waterways, biodiversity and effective planning for seven generation legacy which is very important to Indigenous communities across Canada.
As more companies start to focus on sustainability and transparency in how they operate, they are also placing value on becoming better stewards of the land and communities in which they operate. ESG targets are becoming bolder and more ambitious. For the industry, Indigenous partnerships can offer an invaluable perspective. Generational knowledge such as forest cycles, pest and disease control, land use, and natural resources have been passed down for generations. A deeper understanding of the land can not only help create a better future for the industry but help grow it. And for many, this isn't just the right thing to do, it will soon be required for a continued licence to operate.
When done correctly, partnerships are a win-win for both sides. They can also create local opportunities for employment, ensuring people can remain in their communities, rather than having to seek work away from home. But it requires a careful, transparent approach to ensure values are represented in the relationship. Addressing all the economic, social, cultural, and environmental challenges of managing forest lands and resources is a complex task and Indigenous relations will play a key role.
Here are some steps the forestry sector can take to help support the communities in which they operate.
Create trust first, listen respectfully and foster an open dialogue
One of the most important components of a successful partnership is a positive relationship between everyone involved. Recognize that it takes time and energy to build trust with a community. And despite the potential for economic prosperity, patience and respect are paramount for communities that are cautious when it relates to resource development. Effective understanding, listening, communication and information sharing from both sides will help ensure future success. Don't just consider business values and needs, but the cultural and political complexities of the whole community. Find out what the goals of the community are, such as increased training for youth or capacity development for the existing workforce and then jointly formulate a plan as to how you can support those.
Set long-term goals and objectives with assurance they will not be left behind
Forests take decades to become established, so a long-term multi-generational view is an inherent nature of the forestry sector. A natural balance of near-term and long-term considerations can give collaborations a higher probability for success. Leaders do not just focus on today or next year – their decisions are based on the impact their decisions will have on future generations. Seventh-generation decision-making is an important part of Indigenous culture-making choices based on how it will affect their community for decades, if not hundreds of years, into the future. For many companies, this may involve a shift in thinking. With this in mind, patience is key. Start with manageable levels of commitment and remembering relationships, not corporate policy, can determine the success or failure of the partnership.
Be ready to outline exactly what your support includes
B.C. First Nations have been working seasonal logging jobs for many years. There are also many Indigenous-owned smaller scale logging and sawmill operations. With education amongst these communities improving, there is a greater opportunity for more. Working committees and board memberships that include both industry and community can help ensure short and long-term agreements are properly implemented. Helping to develop better business acumen through mentorships – understanding budgets and planning, business strategy, forecasting and reporting, can provide the knowledge needed for long-term success.
Assistance with government incentives that promote Indigenous-owned operations is also key – they can apply for additional funding and grants from the government which in turn, can help raise additional capital needed to grow their business.
First Nations at the heart of the forestry industry
The last five years have seen rapid deployment of government, industry and Indigenous economic reconciliation. According to a recent report from Export Development Canada there are now more than 50,000 Indigenous-owned businesses in Canada, contributing an estimated $30 billion to the national economy each year. Indigenous youth are predicted to help support the upcoming labour gap, reaching a population of 1 million by 2027, growing at four times the national average. And with most of their homes located in remote, resource-rich areas, the right business opportunities mean they have the chance to develop new skills and knowledge, which will contribute to the prosperity and future of the communities where they live.
First Nations People inherently have a deep-rooted connection to the land. They also own businesses, employ community members, and have meaningful partnerships. There is increased pressure among everyone in the industry to secure a stable industry for future generations. Ensuring financial and environmental longevity does not come until we recognize First Nations as playing a pivotal role in this. They are ready to grow the economy and are active contributors towards Canada's GDP, but for long-term success, those entering the industry will need our support and collaboration. So, if you're operating in the forestry sector today, you should consider providing an increased level of operational knowledge, training and business expertise to those within B.C.'s First Nations communities who are willing to participate.

Toshiba to Make New Lithium-Ion Battery; Retail Group Asks Obama for Sales Tax Free Holidays; Wal-Mart Settles 63 Class Action Suits; Oil Drops on Demand - Natural Gas Rises on Putin Remarks; Wells Fargo - Wachovia Merger Approved; Holiday Notes
With the Christmas holiday on Thursday, Wednesday will be a shortened trading day with the stock market closing at 2:00 EST. Today's post covers many subjects to bring you up-to-date on the latest happenings.
Toshiba to Make New Lithium-Ion Battery
Toshiba plans to invest about 30 billion yen ($330 million) to build a new plant to produce rechargeable lithium ion batteries, Kyodo News reported Wednesday, citing people familiar with the matter. Although Toshiba has scaled down production in its core semiconductor business amid the global economic slowdown, they have decided to boost investment in the promising rechargeable battery business, as demand for such products is expected to grow for use in electric vehicles and industrial machines, the report said. The battery, known as the "Super Charge Ion Battery," can recharge to 90% of full capacity in less than five minutes and has a life cycle of over 10 years, Kyodo reported. The construction of the new plant will begin next year.
Retail Group Asks Obama for Sales Tax Free Holidays
The National Retail Federation on Tuesday said it has asked President-elect Obama to include sales tax-exempt shopping days in March, July and October 2009 as part of his economic-stimulus program. The trade group said the proposed tax-holiday periods, which would last 10 days including two weekends, would help boost consumer confidence and spending.
Tax-free treatment would apply to all tangible goods subject to a state sales tax ranging from apparel and home furnishings to restaurant dining and automobiles but would exclude tobacco and alcohol. The federal government would reimburse the 45 states that have sales taxes for the lost revenue, and would provide the five states without a sales tax (Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire and Oregon) with revenue approximating the sales tax reimbursement that would be received by states with similar population.
State sales tax rates range from 2.9% to 7.25% and add $236 billion a year to the amount U.S. consumers pay for goods and services, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. By temporarily lifting the sales tax for the three 10-day periods, NRF estimates that consumers could save nearly $20 billion. Based on the 112.4 million households in the United States, the figure would amount to almost $175 for the average family.
Wal-Mart Settles 63 Class Action Suits
Wal-Mart said late Tuesday it will settle 63 wage and hour class action lawsuits against the company, some of which have been pending over the last several years. The world's largest retailer said it will pay out a settlement of $352 million to $640 million, and use "various electronic systems and other measures" to ensure compliance with applicable wage laws. Wal-Mart said it will take a fourth-quarter after-tax charge of about 6 cents a share as a result.
Oil Drops on Demand - Natural Gas Rises on Putin Remarks
Crude-oil futures fell Tuesday, following a 6% slump in the previous session, on weaker demand. Crude for February delivery closed down 93 cents, or 2.3%, at $38.98 a barrel on the NYMex. Gasoline and heating-oil futures also moved lower. Natural-gas, however, surged as much as 9% as Russia and other major producers gathered in Moscow to seek closer ties. Russia Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said that the era of cheap gas is coming to an end, and gas producers will cooperate more closely to try and make the gas market more predictable, according to media reports.
Wells Fargo - Wachovia Merger Approved
Wachovia announced today that its shareholders approved the Wells Fargo merger at its special meeting of shareholders. The merger was approved by approximately 76% of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of Wachovia's outstanding shares of common stock and Series M preferred stock, including a majority of the outstanding shares of Wachovia's common stock.
"We are pleased that Wachovia's shareholders agree that the Wells Fargo/Wachovia combination will provide superior growth and long-term value to shareholders, customers, employees and our communities," said Robert K. Steel, CEO of Wachovia. "We received overwhelming support from Wachovia's shareholders today, with approximately 96% of the votes cast by Wachovia shareholders approving the transaction."
"We believe our combined company will be a compelling value for Wachovia shareholders - and today's vote shows they agree," said Wells Fargo President and CEO John Stumpf. "Shareholders' approval is a major step toward completing the merger and we now look forward to the official merger of our two companies a week from tomorrow. The actual merger integration of our companies' systems, operations, products and services will be done very thoughtfully and deliberately over the next two to three years. I want to assure all customers of both companies that we'll approach every discussion on the integration and conversion from the standpoint of what's best for our customers."
Wells Fargo and Wachovia Corporation announced their intention to merge on Oct. 3, 2008. The transaction is expected to close by the end of the year.
