Conflict minerals, extractive payments rules suffer fatal blows
Two of the most controversial rules handed over to the Securities and Exchange Commission by the Dodd-Frank Act—so-called conflict minerals and extractive payments disclosure requirements—are all but dead and buried.
The House and Senate both voted last week to eliminate the latter rule, which would have required oil, gas, and mining companies to report the payments they make to foreign and domestic governments for extraction rights. As for the conflict minerals rule—a requirement that companies disclose their use of certain minerals mined from the war-torn Democratic Republic of the Congo—it is on life support, with the SEC's acting chairman opening public comment for a reconsideration of the rule, a move expected to expedite its demise.
Conflict over minerals
The conflict minerals rule, issued by the SEC in August 2012, requires companies to disclose information each calendar year on the source of tantalum, tin, gold, and tungsten used in their products. Those minerals are known to have funded violent conflict in the DRC and adjoining countries. Companies were required to conduct a "reasonable" country-of-origin inquiry to determine if the minerals originated from the covered countries; track and document the source and chain of custody; and include findings in a public report. When asserting themselves to be "DRC conflict free," registrants must submit an independent audit to verify the determination.
A lawsuit brought against the rule by the National Association of Manufacturers, U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and the Business Roundtable was resolved in November 2015 when the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit denied requests from the SEC and Amnesty International for an en banc rehearing—one argued before a full complement of the court's judges—of an earlier decision that found aspects of the rule to be unconstitutional. Specifically, the court took issue with disclosures and audits that would force companies to declare whether their products do or don't use the spotlighted Congolese minerals.
The SEC declined an opportunity to petition the Supreme Court for a review of the appellate court's decision, choosing instead to maintain post-lawsuit guidance that sill required Form SD disclosures and supply chain due diligence, but no longer demanded a declarative admission of conflict minerals use.
On Jan. 31, SEC Commissioner Michael Piwowar directed SEC staff to reconsider whether the guidance is still appropriate and whether any additional relief is appropriate. As part of that process, he launched a 45-day public comment period.
The SEC's partial stay "has done little to stem the tide of unintended consequences washing over the DRC and surrounding areas," Piwowar said in a statement. "While visiting Africa last year, I heard first-hand from the people affected by this misguided rule. The disclosure requirements have caused a de facto boycott of minerals from portions of Africa, with effects far beyond the Congo-adjacent region. Legitimate mining operators are facing such onerous costs to comply with the rule that they are being put out of business."
"The withdrawal from the region may undermine U.S. national security interests by creating a vacuum filled by those with less benign interests," he added.
"The law under threat exists to deter U.S.-listed oil, gas, and mining companies from cutting secretive deals with corrupt regimes, tyrants, and dictators all over the world—undoing it threatens our national security."

The timing of Piwowar's call for reconsideration is notable. Because the 45-day public comment period will likely extend past his tenure as acting chairman, it allows the next chairman (likely Trump nominee Jay Clayton, a partner with Sullivan and Cromwell) to hit the ground running, armed with plenty of political capital and low-hanging fruit.
Cloudy days for a transparency rule
While the conflict minerals rule lingers on its deathbed for the next eight weeks, Congress swiftly pulled the plug on the thematically similar extractive payments rule. The House of Representatives, on Feb.1, voted 235-187 to repeal the regulation; the Senate, on Feb. 3, advanced the joint resolution to President Donald J. Trump with a 52-47 party-line vote.
The effort utilized the seldom used Congressional Review Act (a vestige of the 1990s, last used in 2001). It allows legislators, with a majority vote, to repeal agency rules that were finalized in the last 60 legislative days. The extractive payments rules, re-issued by the SEC this past summer, fell within that time frame.
Critics of the rule claim it forced publicly traded American energy companies to disclose proprietary information, giving their foreign competitors access to valuable data, while costing nearly $600 million each year in industry compliance costs.
The SEC originally adopted a final rule in August 2012 and promptly faced a legal challenge by the American Petroleum Institute, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and other industry groups. The plaintiffs prevailed and, in July 2013, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia vacated the rule, opining that the SEC misread the congressional statute when it required the public filing of payment disclosures and that the failure to include an exemption for foreign countries that make payment disclosure illegal was "arbitrary and capricious" under the Administrative Procedure Act.
Enter Oxfam America. In 2014, it sued the SEC to compel it into moving forward with a long-delayed rewrite. The U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, in September 2015, sided with the activists and held the Commission to an expedited schedule for a final rule. The revised rule arrived in July 2016 with several industry concessions intended to satisfy legal concerns.
API was among the rule's critics applauding the repeal. "The SEC's rule requires disclosure for American companies but not foreign entities, fundamentally harming American workers and shareholders," says Stephen Comstock, the American Petroleum Institute's director of tax policy. "The rule also undermines global payment transparency efforts and is inconsistent with other major international reporting regimes, like the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative and the European Union's disclosure rules."
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) was among the Democrats who tried, unsuccessfully, to sway the vote. "[One of the Republican majority's] first orders of business is a giveaway to ExxonMobil that will help corrupt and repressive foreign regimes and make it easier to funnel money to terrorists around the world," she said, adding that "massive payouts" by oil companies around the world "regularly end up in the pockets of government officials rather than in the hands of the people."
Piwowar's complaint
The following is from a statement by Michael Piwowar, acting chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
In April 2014, the Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit held that a portion of the disclosure required by the Commission's Conflict Minerals Rule violated the First Amendment. Shortly thereafter, the then-Director of the Division of Corporation Finance issued guidance regarding compliance with the Rule in light of the court's decision and the Commission issued an order staying the effect of the compliance date for those portions of the rule found to be unconstitutional. The case was subsequently remanded to the district court for further consideration. The litigation remains ongoing and the staff's guidance remains in effect.
In the interim, the temporary transition period provided for in the Rule has expired. And the reporting period beginning January 1, 2017, is the first reporting period for which no issuer falls within the terms of that transition period. In light of this, as well as the unexpected duration of the litigation, I am directing the staff to consider whether the 2014 guidance is still appropriate and whether any additional relief is appropriate in the interim.
I welcome and encourage interested parties to submit detailed comments, and request that they be submitted within the next 45 days.

"These corrupt officials get filthy rich while their citizens face punishing poverty and dangerous working conditions," she said. "Worse still, some of these undisclosed payments can end up financing terrorists."
Warren also struck back against critics of the rule who, as was also argued of the conflict minerals rule, don't see the disclosures as materially relevant to most investors. "Some investors may want to stay away from companies that could face expensive lawsuits for violating the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act or other anti-corruption laws," she said. "Other investors may just prefer not to invest in companies that could be helping prop up a corrupt foreign government or indirectly financing terrorism."
Corinna Gilfillan, head of the U.S. office for the advocacy group Global Witness, also raised the issue of national security. "The law under threat exists to deter U.S.-listed oil, gas, and mining companies from cutting secretive deals with corrupt regimes, tyrants, and dictators all over the world—undoing it threatens our national security," she said.
Global Witness noted that Congress voted mere days after Nigeria's anti-corruption law enforcement agency seized a billion-dollar oil block from Shell and Eni during a corruption investigation.
"Had the U.S. anti-corruption rule been in place in 2011, this crooked deal would never have gone through, leaving the companies' investors and the Nigerian people much better off," it said in a statement. "The deal itself deprived Nigeria's people of a sum worth 80 percent of its 2015 healthcare budget. Given that the block in question is estimated to hold as much as 9.23 billion barrels in probable reserves, investors face substantial losses from a backroom deal they knew nothing about."
Oxfam America, which sued the SEC over its delay in reissuing the rule, is promising to fight back. Congress "voted for corruption," says Isabel Munilla, senior policy advisor for extractive industries. "It is clear today that many elected officials have no backbone when it comes to standing up to big oil. Doing the oil lobby's bidding, they are undermining U.S. national security, stripping critical investor protections, and promoting corruption all to protect secret oil payments to governments like Russia, China, and other resource-rich countries."
The two rules have always been a lightning rod, and "there have been a lot of questions—legitimately—about whether they were appropriate areas for the SEC to be involved in," says Michael Littenberg, a partner with law firm Ropes & Gray. "Even under democratic chairs, the SEC has questioned whether corporate social responsibility matters really should be under its purview. This is really not, strictly speaking, a Republican versus Democrat thing. The prior leadership of the Commission was less than enthusiastic about either of these rules. They were moving forward with them because that is what Congress told them they had to do."
Don't expect corporate sustainability and transparency efforts to dissolve away any time soon. "I don't think that generally speaking, corporations were enthusiastic about the repeal of these rules because they don't want to do anything," Littenberg says. "If you look at most large companies—Fortune 500, Fortune 1,000—a lot of them have very vigorous corporate social responsibility programs around a variety of issues, most of which are not areas that are legislated."
The way that most companies of size and sophistication look at these rules, it is not so much that they disagree with the policy reasons behind them or that they plan to do nothing.
"There is a view that a more flexible response and approach, one that can be tailored to the facts and circumstances of the particular company, makes more sense," he says. "If you look at sustainability disclosures, one could argue that under certain circumstances there might be obligations to report on some of that in your SEC filings for materiality purposes. There certainly isn't a specific requirement to put out disclosure on sustainability but, if you look at the S&P 500, most of the companies now publish stand-alone sustainability reports—and they didn't five years ago. That's not because they are required to do it by legislation. It is because that is where the market has moved. They are able to do it, however, in a way that makes sense for their particular business, as opposed to needing to fit into a very prescriptive box. It allows for more nuance when you are able to take a more tailored approach and it is not a regulatory filing."
Another takeaway for both public companies and a lot of their suppliers is that compliance around conflict minerals is not going away. "If anything it will morph," Littenberg says, adding that post-rule flexibility enables companies to address supply chain issues more holistically. When you have different rules with different reporting metrics and deadlines, it puts you into a box in terms of how and when you do your inquiries," he says. "You are able to manage risk more holistically when you don't have as many artificial constraints on how you do these things."

Iran appeals to UN's top court against US terror reparations ruling
Tehran fumes as American judges award $2 billion in frozen assets to US victims of attacks blamed on the country
By AFP	16 June 2016, 5:44 am 0 Edit

Iran has appealed to the UN's highest court against a US Supreme Court ruling that $2 billion in frozen Iranian assets must be paid to American victims of terror attacks blamed on Tehran, the tribunal said Wednesday.
In its filing to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) based in The Hague on Tuesday, Tehran argues that "Iran and Iranian state-owned companies are entitled to immunity from the jurisdiction of the US courts", the tribunal said in a statement.
The US Supreme Court ruled in April that Iran must hand over nearly $2 billion in frozen assets to survivors and relatives of those killed in attacks blamed on the Islamic republic.
These included the 1983 bombing of a US Marine barracks in Beirut and the 1996 Khobar Towers bombing in Saudi Arabia.
The decision affects more than 1,000 Americans.
Tehran, which signed a landmark nuclear deal last year with world powers leading to the unblocking of other frozen funds, has reacted angrily to the Supreme Court ruling.
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani announced late Wednesday that "Iran has officially lodged a complaint with the international court and we will pursue our case until we get a result."
"The American courts have illegally decided that these funds must be given to Americans and the families of victims killed in Lebanon," he said, quoted by Iranian media.
"It remains unclear what these Americans were doing in Lebanon, and how this affair concerns Iran."
In its filing to the ICJ, the Islamic Republic argues that the legal proceedings underway in the US breach the terms of a 1955 bilateral treaty of amity, economic relations, and consular rights signed with the United States.
It further calls for the United States "to make full reparations to Iran for the violation of its international legal obligations in an amount to be determined by the court at a subsequent stage of the proceedings."
After more than a decade as an international pariah, Iran took a step back onto the world stage in July 2015 when after years of tough and protracted negotiations it struck a landmark deal in Vienna to rein in its suspect nuclear program.
In return for the scaling down of its nuclear activities, painful UN and Western sanctions were lifted on the Islamic republic, including on its lifeblood oil exports.
Iran however has complained that major powers have been slow to implement their side of the bargain, with badly needed foreign investment into the country proving slower than hoped.
The United States has also maintained its sanctions targeting Tehran's alleged sponsorship of armed movements in the Middle East, such as Hezbollah in Lebanon, and its ballistic missile programme.
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif on May 21 called on Washington to take "more serious and concrete actions" to alleviate the situation.
In Tuesday's filing, Iran says that because the US has maintained its designation of the country as a major state sponsor of terrorism its assets including the Central Bank, also known as the Bank Markazi, have been "subjected to enforcement proceedings in the United States" even if they should benefit from immunity under the 1955 treaty.
To date US courts have "awarded total damages of over $56 billion… against Iran in respect of its alleged involvement in various terrorist acts mainly outside the USA," Iran says, according to the ICJ statement.
The UN court, which recently marked its 70th anniversary, will now have to decide whether it has jurisdiction to rule in the case.
Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has meanwhile warned candidates in the US presidential election against questioning the Islamic republic's nuclear deal.
"We do not violate the nuclear accord… candidates in the American presidential election are threatening to tear up the nuclear deal. If they do so, we will burn it," he told visiting dignitaries, his website said Tuesday.

It is fundamental to all values-based coaching programmes that a core set of values are identified at the outset and modelled throughout by those involved in the delivery of such a programme. The choice of certain values may, of course, be influenced by variables such as location, culture, context and the individuals involved. The fundamental aim is to have positive behavioural change amongst participants. The values chosen for F4P are selected for generic use across a range of community relations and curriculum initiatives. There is no reason, however, why they cannot be added to or adapted.
F4P is a politics-free zone. Those involved with F4P – players, coaches, parents, administrators – are asked to leave their political views and ideological positions outside. This does not mean changing political and ideological standpoints – this is not our business, but we do require that such positions are not expressed in and around the F4P experience.
Our aim is to provide a safe and unbias space and place to bring people together. The principle of neutrality, is an important feature of any conflict prevention and co-existence projects located in divided societies and thus is adopted as an additional core value.
Those who want to play, can play regardless of ethnicity, race, religion, sexuality, gender and ability. F4P activities are designed to encourage participants to think of the ways to equally include everyone and make everyone feel accepted and respected.
While F4P acknowledges equality among people as the guiding principle of their work with commitment to treat everyone with the same level of respect, it also believes that equality cannot always be achieved if people do not have the same starting position. Our work therefore embraces the principle of equity. Equity encompasses fairness and sees equality as the outcome rather than a starting position, and therefore aims at empowering those who are worse off, marginalised, discriminated against and/or suffering from any kind of inequality.
The appreciation of one's own individuality and the value of others in a context of social diversity. Respect, for oneself, respect for team mates and opponents, respect for coaches and parents, and respect for the laws of the game and those that administer them are essential features of F4P.
Players that trust one another play well together. Learning to have faith in the capacities of others to carry out their roles and responsibilities dutifully and mutually, in ways that also contribute to the well being of team-mates, is an essential ingredient of good sportsmanship.
With trust comes responsibility: understanding that individual behaviour in practice sessions and in games influences and has impact upon the performance and experience of others. Working with and for others are key aspects of F4P Projects. Success in sport, particularly team sport, relies upon mutual aid and self-sacrifice.
Coupled with teaching and nurturing positive values is the acquisition of skills that can be used to enhance an individual's and / or communities' life outside of the sporting arena. F4P has a focus on developing communication skills, leadership, teamwork and reflection as well as building up the self esteem and confidence of participants.
As much as teams create cooperation within a team, they also create a line of division towards non-group members, especially in professional sports where the emphasis is on competition. The distinctive feature of F4P is their emphasis on cooperation not just within a team, but between them as well.
F4P activities are designed to put both coaches and children and/or other participants into the positions of leadership. These range from planning a training session to simply making a decision – however, when participants see their results first-hand and are complimented for them, they are more likely to take the lead and build self-esteem necessary for other life situations.
F4P activities aim to enhance creative thinking and problem solving skills. By facing challenges, participants are taught how to view problems as an opportunity rather than hindrance and solve them with the help of their team.
There is a very simple rule that participants need to follow – when somebody is speaking, the rest are quiet and listening. It is only through efficient and respectful communication that ideas can be exchanged, lessons learnt and respect and trust established.
Every session end with time to reflect. Participants are normally seated down in a circle with a coach leading the discussion. Everyone is encouraged to think about how different values have come into play during the exercise, some examples of positive and negative behaviour, and how to improve exercises to become more inclusive. Furthermore, participants are always encouraged to think about what they've learnt and how to apply this knowledge in life in general.
Participants are always complimented for their positive behaviour and progress. By focusing on values rather than technical skills and ability, activities aim to make participants feel confident and included.

Eustathios von Antiochia (; * in Side, Pamphylien) war ein antiker Bischof. Zunächst Bischof von Beroea, wurde Eustathios Mitte der 320er Jahre zum Patriarchen von Antiochien gewählt. Er war einer der wichtigsten orthodoxen Akteure in der Frühphase des arianischen Streits.

Leben
Eustathios stammte aus Side im kleinasiatischen Pamphylien. Er wurde zunächst Bischof von Beroea in Syrien (heute Aleppo). In dieser Zeit lernte er Alexander kennen, den einflussreichen Bischof von Alexandria, der zu dieser Zeit in einen Streit mit dem Presbyter Arius geriet (Arianismus). Alexander verfasste ein Rundschreiben gegen die Lehre des Arius, zu dessen Empfängern auch Eustathios gehörte. Vermutlich kann Eustathios schon damals als ein Gegner des 'Arianismus' betrachtet werden, doch trifft es die theologische Position von Eustathios besser, ihn als Gegner von Origenes zu bezeichnen oder vielmehr als Gegner einiger Weiterentwicklungen von dessen Theologie nach Origenes' Tod. Als Philogenius starb, der Metropolit von Antiochia, wurde Eustathios auf einer Synode in Antiochia, die unter der Leitung des 'anti-arianischen' Bischofs Ossius von Córdoba stand, Anfang 325 zu seinem Nachfolger gewählt. In diesem Zusammenhang befreundete er sich mit Ossius.

Auf dem Ersten Konzil von Nicaea 325, das den arianischen Streit schlichten sollte, trat er als einflussreicher Metropolit von Antiochia entschieden gegen den 'Arianismus' bzw. origenistische Theologien auf. Angeblich sollen er und seine Anhänger schließlich das Nicaenum als Bekenntnis durchgesetzt haben, welches Gott mit seinem Sohn Jesus Christus 'wesenseins' nennt, was 'arianischen' Vorstellungen widersprach. Doch weicht das Nicaenum theologisch erkennbar von Eustathios' trinitarischer Position ab. Auch nach dem nicänischen Konzil stritt er gegen origenistische Theologien und Kleriker bzw. 'Arianer'. So verwehrte er wohl verschiedentlich 'Arianern' die Aufnahme in den Klerus. Von dieser Maßnahme waren auch beispielsweise die späteren Bischöfe Eustathius von Sebaste, Stephanos von Antiochia und Leontios von Antiochia betroffen. Noch unbeliebter soll sich Eustathios aber im 'arianischen' Lager gemacht haben, als er dem einflussreichen Bischof Eusebius von Caesarea Abweichungen vom Nicaenum vorwarf, das dieser ebenfalls unterschrieben hatte. Doch kann Eusebius nicht zu den 'Arianern' gerechnet werden, sondern zur so genannten 'origenistischen Mittelgruppe', eben einer Strömung in Nachfolge der Theologie des Origenes.

326 wurde der Nicht-Arianer Ossius von Córdoba, bis dahin Hofbischof Konstantins des Großen, entlassen. In der Folge bestimmten vermeintlich arianische Bischöfe, tatsächlich aber jene Kleriker der 'origenistischen Mittelgruppe, wie vor allem Eusebius von Nikomedia, die kirchenpolitische Macht am Hof. Die erstarkte 'origenistische Mittelgruppe' setzte sich nun gegen ihre theologischen Widersacher vor allem aus dem Lager der Anti-Arianer entschieden zur Wehr, vielfach deshalb, da die Anti-Arianer die 'origenistische Mittelgruppe' zum 'Arianismus' rechnete und als häretisch diffamierte und bekämpfte. Auf einer Synode, die zwischen 327 und 330/331 in Antiochia stattfand, wurde Eustathios von Kyros, seinem Nachfolger auf dem Bischofsstuhl von Beroea, Sabellianismus vorgeworfen, woraufhin er abgesetzt wurde. Eine andere Variante der Absetzung überlieferte Bischof Theodoret: Eusebius von Nikomedia habe mit einigen anderen 'arianischen' Bischöfen eine Prostituierte bestochen, die daraufhin aussagte, ein Kind von Eustathios empfangen zu haben. Diese Erzählung scheint jedoch spätere Erfindung zu sein.

In der Stadt kam es daraufhin zu heftigen Unruhen, sodass der Kaiser in den Streit eingreifen musste. Er verhörte Eustathios, dem nun noch zusätzlich vorgeworfen wurde, Helena beschimpft zu haben, die Mutter Konstantins. Der Kaiser bestätigte den Beschluss der Synode, den Metropoliten abzusetzen, und verbannte ihn und viele seiner Gefolgsleute nach Trajanopolis in Thrakien. In Antiochia bildeten die verbliebenen Anhänger des Eustathios eine eigene Gemeinde und es kam zu einem Schisma. Eustathios selbst scheint in der Verbannung noch länger gelebt zu haben, da er eine Schrift gegen Photinus von Sirmium verfasste. Das genaue Todesdatum ist jedoch unsicher. 482 wurden seine Gebeine als Reliquien nach Antiochien überführt.

Eustathios galt schon früh als einer der wichtigsten orthodoxen Kirchenlehrer. Der Kirchenvater Hieronymus rühmt ihn nicht nur für seine exzellente Bibelkenntnis, sondern auch für seine Vertrautheit mit den weltlichen Schriften der Philosophen. Athanasius der Große, mit dem er gemeinsam gegen die 'Arianer' bzw. origenistische Theologie gestritten hatte, nannte ihn schon zu Lebzeiten "den Großen". Einfluss soll er etwa auf Theodoret und Eustratios, Gelasius von Rom und Facundus von Hermiane ausgeübt haben, die seine Schriften studierten.

Das einzige vollständig erhaltene Werk des Eustathios ist die theologische Abhandlung De Engastrimytho contra Origenem. Hier kritisiert er die sonst bei Origenes übliche allegorische Bibelexegese am Beispiel von dessen Interpretation der Geschichte um die Hexe von Endor (1. Buch Samuel 28), da Origenes hier nicht allegorisch, sondern weitgehend wortwörtlich deute. Er schrieb außerdem eine Abhandlung de anima ("Über die Seele") und ein in acht Bücher eingeteiltes Werk gegen die Arianer. Diese und seine übrigen Schriften sind jedoch nur fragmentarisch erhalten. Die erhaltenen Fragmente seiner Schriften lassen, was seine dogmatisch-theologische Position angeht, viele Fragen offen. Klar ist, dass er strikt anti-origenistisch dachte und in Bezug auf den Logos von einer "wahren göttlichen Zeugung" sprach.

Sein Festtag ist der 21. Februar.

Vexillatio
This post is also available in: Polish (polski)
Monument dedicated to Jupiter the Greatest (Iuppiter Optimus Maximus – initials IOM) by vexillatio from the Sequani cohort and Raurici connected with the XXII legion of Primigenia Pia Fidelis.

Vexillatio (plural vexillationes) was a unit separated from the parent legion, most often for a specific purpose, created during the principate's times. It took its name most likely from vexillum, a legionary mark.
Contrary to popular belief, it seems that vexillationes were made by auxilia soldiers, not legionaries. The term ward appears in the singular, but the term in the plural was used more often due to the fact that such wards operated in groups. Vexillationes were established ad hoc in crisis situations at the borders. There were many such situations in the 3rd century CE, during the great crisis of the Roman Empire: usurpations, rebellions, and invasions of neighbouring countries/peoples. The vexillatio unit differed both in number and composition, but as a rule, it amounted to about 1000 infantry soldiers and 500 horsemen.
The reasons for the creation of vexillationes and their application stemmed from the difficult period in which the Roman Empire found itself in the 3rd century CE. A huge Roman army, dating back to the beginning of the 3rd century CE around 400,000 people was unable to dynamically respond to all threats and incidents across wide borders. Rarely was it possible to send an entire legion to the site of a rebellion or invasion, and there were no reserves as such. The only logical solution was to separate the troops from the legions and merge them into a single unit to eliminate the threat. Immediately after completing the quest, the unit split and returned to its home legion.
Other troops such as: infantry – cohortes and centuriae; and rides – alae and turmae, could have had their own vexilla. In turn, the vexillatio unit itself, having separate vexilla units, could use them as special units. They had functions similar to vexillarii – restored veterans.
The vexillatio system initially functioned very well, due to mobility (due to the great road system) and high discipline, consistency and morale. However, during the "Great Depression of the 3rd century CE" (from 235 to about 290 CE), the vexillationes were so often moved from place to place that there was a great confusion of troops and disorganization of the Roman army. To this end, the successive emperors Diocletian and Constantine the Great had to carry out military reforms to strengthen the structure of the army.
During the time of the dominion, the term vexillatio referred to a horse unit in the Roman army. The Vexillationes were probably used as cavalrymen in many campaigns from the time of Diocletian and the introduction of the tetrarchy. In the 4th century CE vexillationes palatinae and vexilationes comitatenses were supposed to be between 300 and 600 people. The Roman document from the end of the empire Notitia Dignitatum mentions the existence of 88 units of vexillationes.

Now, 'tis grand to see such an amazing waterfall as a mighty work of God… but here's a thought for this Friday in Lent – isn't it also grand to see the Mighty Works of God in each other? … & maybe even ourselves? that we are ALL Mighty Works of our Creator whether we are pink, purple, green or blue – or any betwixt & between hue.
…& then doesn't it follow that it might take a bit of work to understand one another & if 'tis proven Difficult to understand, might it be a good idea to first start by Appreciating one another?
There are falls of uniqueness within our hearts that flow into our beings & influence our doings; falls of Love from the Creator of Love, God Almighty.

Thomas a Kempis…My mom had a book of his back in '76 during her lengthy hospital stay. I still have it.
Yep, that's the exact book I have.

Leeds United agree deal to sign Vurnon Anita from Newcastle
Leeds United have agreed on a deal to sign the former Newcastle United midfielder Vurnon Anita on a free transfer.
The 28-year-old was released by the Magpies earlier this summer and the versatile Dutchman has decided to stay in the Championship with Leeds for another season.
Leeds have confirmed the deal on their official website.
✍ We are delighted to confirm the signing of Vurnon Anita, who joins the club from @NUFC. Read more at: https://t.co/ETJLNZ7A2M pic.twitter.com/tgmiWQKcfw
— Leeds United (@LUFC) July 6, 2017
The former Newcastle player can operate as a defensive midfielder or a full back. He was a part of the squad that secured promotion for Rafa Benitez's side.
Leeds have already signed the likes of Hadi Sacko, Felix Wiedwald and Mateusz Klich. Anita will be their fourth summer signing.
The experienced Dutchman has played in the Championship as well as the Premier League. Thomas Christiansen's side could definitely use a player of his calibre and experience next season.
The Whites will be hoping to secure promotion to the Premier League next year and signing the likes of Anita is a step in the right direction.
The former PSV star made 25 appearances for Newcastle last season. He also has four international caps to his name.
Anita could make his Leeds United debut in Saturday's pre-season friendly with Guiseley at Nethermoor Park.

Anyone considering a vocation to the priesthood would naturally wonder what seminary life is like. Is it like being in a monastery? Would I be able to get out and about? What if I come to realise it is not for me? What are the rooms like? Would I be able to have friends and family come and stay? Can I take my mobile phone? Will I have access to the Internet? These are all valid questions that need answering.
IS SEMINARY LIKE A MONASTERY?
A monastery and a seminary may be similar in some things but they are not the same thing! The seminary staff and the seminarians themselves all live together in community. They typically pray together and eat together for at least one meal during the day, but that's it apart from the more formal arrangements surrounding studies and assessment.
Each seminary also has a structured way of life or a 'Rule' as St. Benedict called it for his monasteries. It is devised around the Four Pillars of Formation laid out by Blessed John Paul II that are considered in the next section. The 'Rule of Life' at the seminary is designed to help the community run smoothly but also aid in the formation of the seminarians. A regular programme of common prayer, meals, academic classes, ministry and formation helps the community to grow as Christian men and discern God's will for their lives. Being open to the way of life is part of the process of discernment and allows God to form us as he wants us. It also teaches us a lot about ourselves as well as each other.
That being said, each seminarian is also encouraged to have personal time/space for recreation and social interaction. In addition the community often come together in a social aspect for football tornaments, theatre outings, quiz nights etc. You won't necessarily get that at a monastery!
WOULD I BE ABLE TO GET OUT AND ABOUT?
Seminary is not a prison. Often seminarians are encouraged to go out and get some personal space, discover the local area etc. Every seminary has a 'day off' where the seminarians are free to do as they please. Most usually start off with a lay in! But even on the day off, it is important to keep to the rule of daily prayer.
It is possible to take up activities suitable to the life of a future priest as long as they do not distract from the Rule of Life and hinder the discernment process.
WHAT IF I COME TO REALISE IT IS NOT FOR ME?
People leave seminary for numerous reasons and some even return at a later stage. There is no shame in making the personal choice to leave. If anything, it shows integrity an humility to recognise that the priesthood is not the right way once you have entered seminary. Your seminary experience will leave you a richer person.
A good environment is essential to the discernment process. All the seminaries provide seminarians with reasonable standards of rooms. Each seminary is different in what they can offer, for example, not all have ensuite facilities, but at a basic level they are comfortable.
At a minimum you would be provided with a room furnished with a bed, a desk, a chair, a bookshelf, a wardrobe, washbasin and some form of curtains/blinds for the window. Most seminaries allow the seminarians to redecorate their rooms with prior approval. Most seminaries also allow you to have a television in your room provided you are sensible with its usage and have an appropriate license.
The residential hallways are areas which deserve special consideration. A seminarian's room is one of the few areas where privacy and a home environment can be maintained. Seminarians often undertake activities in their room which require quiet, prayer, serious thought, study and sleep. Therefore, a real concern for developing an atmosphere of quiet should become an important consideration. Remember everything is at the service of discernment.
WOULD I BE ABLE TO HAVE FRIENDS AND FAMILY COME AND STAY?
It is important that a seminarian feels supported in what they do. All the seminaries usually have regular guest days where you can invite people to stay over. Seminaries usually recognise the importance of friends and family by holding gatherings throughout the year.
CAN I TAKE MY MOBILE PHONE?
Communication is an essential part of human life. Seminaries do not typically stop their students from owning a mobile phone. However the practicality of having a mobile phone will include issues such as cost and seminary location. You will need to pay the mobile phone bill yourself as a personal expense. Most seminaries have accessible landlines in accomodation areas to enable students to recieve calls.

The world of mental healthcare is changing and the University is at the forefront of these developments. According to the recent UK Government taskforce , technology will play a critical role by expanding access to digital services we enable more people to receive effective care and provide greater accessibility and choice.
And so, on the 19th June over 50 trainee clinical psychologists took part in a Digital Mental Health event at the University of Surrey. Students got 'hands-on' experience with the latest technologies being used both in the NHS and around the world.
The event was the idea of Dr Alesia Moulton-Perkins, a senior teaching fellow in the Faculty of Health and Medical Services. The day included presentations using avatars and virtual world technology, the impact of technology on the therapeutic relationship, hands on use of live-chat and computerised CBT technologies and how best to use videoconferencing software to provide care online. Bringing together industry leaders in digital mental health like ProReal (avatars), Ieso (internet-enabled CBT) together with clinicians made for an exciting day.
"Using technology in mental health can be a complex subject for some, but this group were completely engaged – they asked great questions and really put themselves in the role of their clients" said Andrew Jackson, Chief Executive of ProReal Ltd.
Andrew Smithsimmons, CBT therapist and Senior Clinical Educator for IESO Digital Health came all the way from Scotland to present on how ieCBT (live, synchronous, written dialogue) can be used therapeutically. He said "It was fantastic to see trainee clinicians engage with the complex topic of how technology can be used progressively to improve on the historically modest outcomes of psychological therapies. This group has a key role in harnessing technology to improve the lives of the communities they intend to serve and their enthusiasm bodes well for the future".
"I think its really important that people have choice about their treatment; whether this be face to face, over Skype, using avatars etc - people should be entitled to a choice" said Becks Easton, a trainee clinical psychologist who took part in the day. Easton continued "the research tells us that good therapeutic outcomes are linked to a strong therapeutic alliance between a client and practitioner and so having a choice of treatment options will facilitate this alliance and lead to better outcomes."
The discussions also covered the challenges of adopting digital mental health solutions including the difficulties of taking on new skills "The current feeling about digital support can often be negative so more needs to be included in clinical training courses like this. Using digital therapies is another string to our bow!" said Easton.
Mary John, Course Director agreed: "Providing opportunities for our clients to access therapy is crucial. We know that approximately 50% of adults or young people improve with one of the face to face psychological therapies on offer. This leaves the other 50% needing an alternative. Digital technologies can be one way of improving access and therefore the individual's well being. To ensure that this is available we need to be training the clinicians of the future to be able to use and develop these technologies".
Dr Moulton-Perkins said afterwards "It was great - the event was a huge success, and I hope we can run the day again next year; digital mental health is now an important component in this field, and I want to thank all the people who made this event possible".

Idolatrous Elders Condemned
1Then certain of the elders of Israel came to me [seeking an oracle from God] and sat down before me. 2And the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 3"Son of man, these men have set up [and honored] their idols in their hearts and have put right before their faces the [vile] stumbling block of their wickedness and guilt; should I [permit Myself to] be consulted by them at all? 4Therefore speak to them and say to them, 'Thus says the Lord God, "Any man of the house of Israel who takes his idols [of rebellion] into his heart, and puts the [vile] stumbling block of his wickedness and guilt [images of silver and gold] before his face, and yet comes to the prophet [to ask of him], I the Lord will answer him, [but I will answer him] in accordance with the number of his idols, 5in order that I may take hold of the heart (mind) of the house of Israel who are all estranged from Me because of their idols." '
6"Therefore say to the house of Israel, 'Thus says the Lord God, "Repent and turn away from your idols and turn your faces away from all your disgusting and vile acts. 7For anyone of the house of Israel or among the strangers who immigrate to Israel who separates himself from Me, taking his idols into his heart, and puts right before his face the [vile] stumbling block of his wickedness and guilt, and [then] comes to the prophet to ask of Me for himself, I the Lord will answer him Myself. 8I will set My face against that man [that hypocrite] and will make him a #I.e. an object of scorn or ridicule.sign and a proverb, and I will cut him off from among My people; and you will know [without any doubt] that I am the Lord.
9"But if the prophet [who speaks without My authority] is enticed to speak a word [of his own], it is I the Lord who have caused that prophet [to speak falsely to please the inquirer, thus allowing himself to be a party to the inquirer's sin], and I will stretch out My hand against him and destroy him from among My people Israel. 10They [both] will bear the punishment of their wickedness; the sin of the [counterfeit] prophet will be the same as the sin of the [hypocritical] inquirer, 11so that the house of Israel may no longer drift away from Me and no longer defile themselves with all their transgressions, but they will be My people, and I will be their God," ' says the Lord God."
The City Will Not Be Spared
12The word of the Lord came [again] to me, saying, 13"Son of man, if a land sins against Me by committing unfaithfulness, and I stretch out My hand against it and destroy its source of bread and send famine on it and cut off from it both man and animal, 14even if these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job were in that land, by their own righteousness (right standing with God) they could only save (deliver) themselves," says the Lord God. 15"If I were to cause predatory beasts to pass through the land and they ravaged it and depopulated it of children, and it became desolate so that no one would pass through because of the predators, 16though these three men were in the land, as I live," says the Lord God, "they could not save either their sons or their daughters. They alone would be saved, but the land would be desolate (ruined, deserted). 17Or if I were to bring a sword on that land and say, 'Let a sword go through the land and cut off man and animal from it,' 18even though these three men were in the land, as I live," says the Lord God, "they could not save either their sons or their daughters, but they alone would be saved. 19Or if I should send a virulent disease into that land and pour out My wrath in blood on it to cut off man and animal from it, 20even though Noah, Daniel, and Job were in the land, as I live," says the Lord God, "they could not save either their son or their daughter; they would save only themselves by their righteousness [that is, their right-standing with God—their moral and spiritual integrity]."
21For thus says the Lord God, "How much more when I send My four severe judgments against Jerusalem—sword, famine, predatory beasts, and virulent disease—to cut off man and animal from it! 22Yet, behold, survivors will be left in it [escaping the judgments], both sons and daughters. Listen carefully, they are going to come out to you [in Babylon] and you will see their [wicked] conduct and [despicable] actions; then you will be at peace in regard to the disaster which I have brought against Jerusalem for everything which I have brought on it [has been deserved]. 23Then they will reassure #This word is plural and refers to all the exiles living in Babylon.you [in regard to the appropriateness of the judgments] when you see their [heinous] conduct and actions, for you will know that I have not done without cause whatever I did to it," declares the Lord God.
