Good Fertilizer for Lemon Trees
By Jenny Green
Lemons growing on a branch.
Image Credit: Adrian Assalve/iStock/Getty Images
Lemon trees (Citrus limon) need small amounts of high-nitrogen fertilizer regularly through the growing season. Hardy in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 9 through 11, lemon trees grow 10 to 20 feet tall and 10 to 15 feet wide, depending on the variety. Newly planted trees need little fertilizer, but the trees' fertilizer needs increase as they grow. Lemon trees grow best in fertile, well-drained soil in full-sun sites.
Newly Planted Trees
Newly planted lemon trees growing in average or poor soil benefit from a little high-nitrogen fertilizer in their first year. Fertilizers contain different amounts nitrogen. A good fertilizer for lemon trees is ammonium sulfate, which contains 21 percent nitrogen. Newly planted lemon trees growing in dark, fertile, organically rich soil don't need fertilizer in their first year.
Fertilize newly planted lemons trees when new growth appears. Sprinkle 2 1/2 ounces of ammonium sulfate around the bases of the trees, but avoiding their trunks. Fertilize the trees again in late spring or early summer, when a second flush of growth often appears. Apply the fertilizer for a third time in late fall, when there is usually a third flush of growth.
Young Lemon Trees
Young lemon trees need 1/4 to 1/2 pound of nitrogen per year, which is contained in 1 1/3 pound to 2 1/3 pounds of ammonium sulfate. The first and second year after planting, sprinkle 7 ounces of ammonium sulfate within the trees' drip lines in spring, summer and fall when new growth appears. The drip line is the line on the ground where rain drips from a tree's canopy. Don't allow the fertilizer to touch the trees' trunks.
The third year after planting, sprinkle 12 ounces of ammonium sulfate within the drip lines of the trees when you see new growth in spring, summer and fall.
Mature Lemon Trees
Mature lemon trees' fertilizer needs vary according to the size and age of the trees. For example, small trees that have been in the ground for four years need 3/4 pound nitrogen -- 3 1/2 pound ammonium sulfate -- per year, and midsized lemon trees that have been growing for five years need 1 pound of nitrogen, or 4 3/4 pound of ammonium sulfate. Divide the fertilizer into three portions, and apply each portion when new growth appears in spring, summer and fall.
Large lemon trees that have been growing six years or longer and haven't been trimmed to restrict their size need 1 1/2 pound of nitrogen, which is contained in 7 1/4 pound of ammonium sulfate.
Overfertilization can be a problem in lemon trees, causing excessive green, leafy growth and reduced fruit production. Don't apply more than the recommended amounts of fertilizer unless the trees are showing signs of nitrogen deficiency, such as yellow older leaves, premature leaf drop and small, thin-skinned fruit.
Nutrient-Deficient Lemon Trees
Alkaline or poor-quality soils can cause nutrient deficiencies in lemon trees. These trees grow best in soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.0, and a pH higher than 7.0 can prevent lemon trees from taking up essential micronutrients, such as iron. A home soil test kit shows the pH level in soil.
Signs of micronutrient deficiency include small, distorted, discolored leaves and fruit. For example, light green to whitish new leaves with dark green veins and normal older leaves indicate an iron deficiency. An iron chelate foliar spray temporarily reduces symptoms of iron deficiency, and other sprays are available that supply other micronutrients. Wear protective clothing and safety goggles when applying foliar fertilizers, and don't spray when lemon trees are flowering.
To treat lemon trees suffering from iron deficiency, dilute a product containing 5 percent soluble iron, 3.5 percent chelated iron and 3.4 percent combined sulfur at a rate of 1 tablespoon per 1 gallon of water. Spray the solution on the upper and lower surfaces of the lemon trees' leaves. Manufacturers' instructions vary among products. Always read and follow the directions on the product label.

On this day in history, October 12, 1776, British troops sail up the East River east of Manhattan and land at Throgg's Neck. After successfully driving the Continental Army off Long Island in late August and occupying New York City in September of 1776, British General William Howe hoped to trap George Washington's army at Harlem Heights in the north of Manhattan.
On October 12, 90 flatboats sailed up the East River with more than 4,000 British soldiers. They landed at Throgg's Neck, a peninsula on Long Island Sound. The neighborhood in this part of the Bronx still bears the name Throg's Neck today. Howe's plan was to march across to Manhattan and trap the Continental Army between his troops and the other British troops at the southern end of Manhattan, with the Hudson River at Washington's back.
Washington's scouts observed the landing at Throgg's Neck and were ordered to destroy a bridge leading from the peninsula to the mainland. Once this was complete, Howe's troops were trapped on the island. It took them six days before they were able to reload on the flatboats and sail further up the coast.
After stalling the British on Throgg's Neck, Washington decided to evacuate his army to the north as quickly as possible. The army began marching north toward White Plains. On the 18th, the British troops landed at Pell's Point, 3 miles above Throgg's Neck. This time, the brigade of Colonel John Glover was waiting for them and delayed them by attacking from a stone wall. When the British advanced, Glover's troops retreated to another wall and fired on them again. This happened 3 times before the British finally stopped their advance and Glover's men got away.
The distraction at Pell's Point allowed the remaining part of the Continentals to get north and away from the possibility of being trapped against the Hudson. For ten days, the two armies maneuvered around each other and finally met on the battlefield at White Plains on the 28th, where 13,000 men on each side faced each other. The Battle of White Plains had roughly equal casualties on both sides, but Washington chose to retreat after losing the high ground at White Plains.
Pursued by Howe across New Jersey and into Pennsylvania, Washington was finally able to stop Howe by confiscating all the boats up and down the Delaware River, denying Howe a way across. The Continental Army sat in Pennsylvania and the British sat on the opposite side of the Delaware in New Jersey. Washington finally turned the tables with two surprise night time attacks on Trenton and Princeton, attacks which finally made the British realize the Americans were not going to be conquered as easily as they had thought.

Austin Plumbing Company expansion will nearly double size of its facility
Austin Plumbing Company in Hartland is nearly doubling the size of its facility to accommodate recent growth. [caption id="attachment_343983" align="alignright" width="361"] Rendering of the front of Austin Plumbing by Keller.[/caption] The nearly 50-year-old, third generation family-owned plumbing company, which also includes Polar Express Heating and Air, began work in February on a 5,700-square-foot addition to its 6,500-square-foot building at 530 Norton Drive. Most of the new space will be for a warehouse to accommodate new equipment and delivery trucks, said Tom Smith, company president. The office will also be renovated. Austin Plumbing has 13 employees. "We were actually planning to move into a brand new building and looked at several options, but decided to stay here," Smith said. "We love our location off Highway 16. It's easy to get to Waukesha or Oconomowoc. Being centrally located within the market is critical." Austin Plumbing Co. was started in founded in 1969 by Austin Smith, Tom's father, who worked at the company for decades before dying five years ago at the age of 92. The family plans to place one of Austin's old business cards under the new addition and pour a thin layer of cement over it, Tom Smith said. Tom joined the business more than 35 years ago and today, his son also works with him. Germantown-based Keller Inc. is the project manager. Smith said the project should be complete by May. "We've been adding employees over the last year and are planning to hire a couple more," Smith said. "That is part of the reason that has facilitated the growth."

A WILDLIFE charity has said it needs more North-East data for its annual survey.
The People's Trust for Endangered Species (PTES) launched its National Water Vole Monitoring Programme in 2015 and, four years on, it is calling for volunteers to take part in its annual survey so that more data can be gathered for the region.
Between April 15 and June 15, locals are being asked to survey one of PTES's 850 pre-selected sites.
Is the North-East plagued by plastic?
New sites can also be registered by surveying a 500m length of riverbank and recording the results online.
Last year, 249 sites were surveyed in Britain with 152 in England, 92 in Scotland and 5 in Wales.
Out of these sites, 105 showed signs of water voles which PTES said is encouraging but there are gaps in survey areas where more data is needed.
PTES said, according to previous results, water voles are extremely endangered having experienced the most rapid and serious decline of any British wild mammal in the last century.
It said there are various factors behind their decline, from loss and fragmentation of their natural habitat, such as streams, rivers and fresh waterways, and agricultural intensification, to pollution of watercourses and predation by non-native American mink.
The trust added that the impact of mink has been particularly devastating - between 1989 and 1998 the water vole population crashed by almost 90 per cent.
Emily Thomas, Key Species Data and Monitoring Officer at PTES, explains: "Water voles used to be found in almost every waterway in England, Scotland and Wales, but sadly now their numbers are declining dramatically.
Volunteers who wish to take part can register online and enter their postcode to find the closest survey site or register a suitable site near where they live.


WHAT: Annual raft races & some fun with canoes.
We will meet at the Scout Hall at 8am to load up the trailer with the two rafts. We will then travel to Lilydale Lake to be there by 9am.
Scouts will then need to ensure that their rafts are ship shape and ready to take to the water. Rafts will be judged before racing commences. They will then take to the water and a number of races and other water activities will take place.
Sunscreen, a sun smart hat, sun smart shirt and closed-in footwear MUST be worn throughout the day, including during all water-based activities (Scouts without these on will not be permitted in the water).
There will be a break during proceedings when a BBQ lunch will be served.
Come along and make this a great way to get into the new Scouting year. Family members are welcome to attend and watch you have fun!!!
The activity is due to finish at Lilydale Lake at 2:30pm, so we expect to be back at the hall by about 3pm.
We will need some assistance with transport on the day.


Rega Electronics at Tom Tom Audio : The world's leading new and used Naim audio dealer. We build time machines!
What inspired you to start Rega?
RG: Laughs, nothing, I wasn't inspired!
OK, why did you start Rega?
There is always this assumption that people have a vision and an ambition but that didn't happen to me, it just grew. I started to make loudspeakers and then turntables for myself and friends and that slowly slowly grew and snowballed. Really I wasn't starting in Hi–Fi it was wanting to listen to music and not having the money as a student. If you go right back to the motivating factor I suppose it was not being happy with listening to music on a Dansette.
Has that continued to be your motivation?
Not really, things get out of control when you have a large company and people's livelihoods all over the world now, it takes on a whole different aspect and different responsibilities and obligations. There is huge pride that goes along with it but it's not the same. Over the forty years we've had, it has changed many, many times.
What keeps me going now is pride. I know that's not supposed to be a good emotion, but pride in what Rega is achieving at the moment, and being able enjoy using the experience I've got over the last forty years in design, and the privilege of the people I've met in different countries.
Which of your designs gives you the greatest pride?
Certainly the Rega tonearm. And more recently the RP8 turntable which Jony Ive from Apple and [designer] Marc Newsom selected for a charity auction that was organized by Bono. They decided to choose three tiers of products that they would pick for the auction. Tier number one was products that they actually wanted to have themselves and would bid on. Tier two was something to raise a bit more money, things that were a bit more iconic and classic designs that they could tinker with. One example was a Range Rover where they redesigned the interior with red elements, another was a saddle from Hermés. The final tier was stuff that they'd designed themselves. The Rega RP 8 fitted into the first category of things that they wanted. When we asked if we could co–operate with them by adding red in some way, which we were really happy to do to raise some money, they said no, quite firmly. Saying that these are products that we feel are unchangeable. They could have chosen anything at any price. The RP8 model was auctioned for $40,000. I'm proud that somebody significant has recognized this product and their criteria was things that they wanted themselves, things that they looked at and thought how did they do that? Things that were tools, not design for its own sake and things that were accessible.
I think it's input that comes from other very, very capable people. More recently there's been a small upsurge in younger people who are suppliers to Rega, people who are now working with us. One of the advantages of size is that people want to work with you, not necessarily for financial gain. For instance we had a young guy working for a high tech carbon fibre fabricating company, making things like gearbox cases for F1 cars. He was a vinyl fanatic and he's put a huge amount of effort into carbon fibre concepts. Originally for validating our ideas, the input he gave us spawned a whole range.
Spending time with a pleasant open minded person with a really good glass of wine and some lovely tasting food. Basically communing with unusual people that I can learn from.
What is your most iconic product/the product you want to be remembered for, the tonearm?
It certainly was, and if it's me, that was more of me, although there were lots of suppliers and people making models and everything, the whole visualization of the product start to finish came from me, whereas our current products are the result of team work. In a way I get a lot more pleasure from the team side of it. I hate working on my own, it's a huge internal conflict, it's also been one of the biggest conflicts I've had in working on turntables. I don't have any other input design wise from anywhere else in our industry. If I'm working on a loudspeaker I can phone up five or six people, Pete Thomas for instance or say Robin Marshall can you help me with this. But with turntables I've never met anyone I can talk to. I like to work with people who I can chew the fat with, two people discussing something can come up with something better than I can produce out of my head. That's what gives me the greatest pleasure but the greatest icon, if its just me, would have been the arm I suppose, and the concept of the turntable which is still being validated now more and more.
Who's your favourite musician or band?
Hundreds of musicians. I've been pushed to pick them over the years and I've been mischievous about it. Even though I'm not a great lover of that form of music there's an Indian musician called Mohan Bhatt [Meeting by the River with Ry Cooder], he would be up there. Another musician called Kathryn Tickell who plays the Northumbrian pipes. In terms of a band it would be Alison Krauss, for maybe the last 10 years her band, in any genre, would be the cream. When I was in a little band we used to say 'we will never do covers' but if we do it would be hers, because it's so challenging. There was a seminal Alvin Gold blind review where I sneaked an Alison Krauss disc in and it became a favourite with him and audiophiles everywhere it seems.
What system do you have at home?
It tends to be what we're working on. I've got two or three systems dotted around the house but they also will have different things swapped regularly. It is a great source of bewilderment that what started me listening to music I now hardly ever have time to do.


Making change happen can be difficult – we need to plan both subject knowledge and pedagogy.
The Problem Solving Hub is led by the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham School Improvement Service in association with the London North East Maths Hub. The aim of the hub is to strategically align the wide-ranging influence of partners on mathematics education in the region. By reinforcing and enhancing existing strengths across the hub, schools develop as local centres of excellence. Lesson study is used as a key mechanism to sustainably affect high quality professional development within and between schools. Hub activity builds on existing national and international networks, and gives schools access to external expert practice in Lesson Study and mathematical problem solving. Schools commit to developing and sharing this expertise in their local context, establishing a community of practice which enables purposeful and sustainable improvement in mathematics education across the region.
George Carey Church of England Primary School has been involved in Lesson Study through the Problem Solving Hub for over three years. This has had a significant impact because it has given us a methodology to raise standards of provision. Teachers have collaborated to plan and deliver lessons focused on children's dialogic learning and how they can solve problems for themselves through discussion and negotiation. The high level of professional dialogue supports classroom practitioners to think more deeply about the learning processes within their classrooms. External advisers joining us as part of the project have helped to extend and challenge this professional dialogue. Our Deputy Headteacher has grown in confidence in teaching maths in all of her lessons, and now leads on mathematical learning and developing a whole-school approach to Lesson Study. Lesson Study now extends across year groups and is a main driver to move teaching and learning from 'good' to 'outstanding.' Children really enjoy maths here and I have seen Lesson Study help teachers better understand how children think. Finding maths hard is OK, and by anticipating children's difficulties teachers are designing great lessons to help with problem solving. We have great hopes for this work – watch this space!

Fluid flow and gas absorption in an ejector venturi scrubber
Iclal Atay, New Jersey Institute of Technology
Doctor of Engineering Science in Chemical Engineering
Chemical Engineering, Chemistry and Environmental Science
Gordon Lewandowski
Richard B. Trattner
John E. McCormick
Wing T. Wong
Paul N. Cheremisinoff
Empirical models were developed to describe the fluid flow characteristics and gas absorption efficiency of an ejector venturi scrubber. The empirical constants were determined experimentally using stop action photographs of the spray, static pressure measurements, and sulfur dioxide absorption efficiencies.
To take photographs of the spray, a 2 foot high, clear plastic ejector venturi scrubber was used, with a 4 inch diameter gas entrance port. Photographic equipment included a Hasselblad camera, Xenon flash lamp, and Polaroid 667 ASA 3000 film. Exposure duration was about 1 microsecond, resulting in complete stop-action of the spray droplets at liquid rates up to 6 gpm. Droplet size ranged from 34 to 563 microns, with a volume mean diameter of 155 microns, at a liquid rate of 6 gpm.
The sulfur dioxide mass transfer coefficient (Kga) varied from 0.6 to 796 lb-moles/hr-ft3 as the liquid delivery rate was varied from 1 to 8 gpm (i.e. from no atomization to complete atomization).

Some concept sketches of the sand giants of (insert name of desertey area).
The sand giants are a race of sentient primates that have evolved to survive in the desert, which is why I want them to look a bit like a cross between a camel and an elephant but with a bipedal, primate's physique.
I first had the idea for these guys a couple of years ago for a comic* and thought I'd have another go at working on them as I think they'd fit in quite well with my collection of creatures.
*It was a steampunk comic set in an alternate Earth (as they so often are). These guys lived in the deserts of North Africa and wandered nomadically alongside berber tribes. Nothing ever happened with it though. I had some cool ideas for it with some set pieces that worked in my head but when it came to sitting down and working out the plot and scripting it I didn't have nearly enough patience. Maybe one day!

I can honestly say that I am blessed by your interest in gaining a better understanding of Catholic beliefs because it gives me an opportunity to defend my faith and re-examine my own reasoning. I am certainly not a theological expert but I think you would agree that most of us are not called to be theologians. Rather, we have been blessed as humans with free will and the ability to rationalize so that even the most simple of people can enter into a full life in Christ. I'm a pretty simple guy and as such, you may find my response to your question about the pope's place in the Church quite simple. But here it is, for what it's worth. I've decided to write you this "letter" because the pope is someone that I hold intensely close to my heart. He is a man. Not a God, or an object of idolatry, but an extraordinary man (like St. Paul) with an extraordinary calling. I'm sure you will find my words thought-provoking and some even controversial but that will make this fun and intriguing. I just love the Roman Church so much, and am honoured to discuss it with you and anyone else who is willing.
I think you are doing something that is crucial for every single Christian to do and that is to investigate the roots of our faith. Roman Catholic, Orthodox or Protestant — we all originate from the same family tree, so the Roman Church is as much a part of your Christian heritage as it is of mine. In terms of the origin of the bible, it is interesting to consider that the Roman Catholic Church is responsible for the original discernment, compilation and safekeeping of the bible. Over the centuries, the leaders of the Church assembled into councils to discuss, debate and discern which Christian writings would be considered the inerrant Word of God. This was allowed to happen because the pope, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, authorized it. The Gospels, the letters from St. Paul and all of the books of the New Testament were discerned and integrated into the New Testament as we know it under the spiritual direction of past popes. The very bible that you read and study was compiled, distributed amongst the Christian community, and proclaimed to be the word of God by the authority of the early Catholic Church. This is a tough one to swallow for many non-Catholics but indeed, the bible as we both know it is inherently Catholic. I've pondered on how it is that a man, who is not God, can make indisputable decisions for all of Christ's Church. I overcame this hurdle, however, when I came to the realization that the man does not make the infallible decisions – it is the Spirit through the man. It was by questioning that I found truth. Consider for a moment, whether it is St. Paul's words in his letter to the Philippians (for example) that are infallible or is it the Holy Spirit through him? If St. Paul can speak infallible words that are to be taken as the Word of God by men, could Christ not speak through the humble, appointed leader of the two thousand year old Catholic Church? If a room full of men were all given the same amount of authority by Christ to make infallible, spirit-guided decisions for the entirety of the Church, would that not foreseeably lead to much difficulty and dispute in the settling of a final dogmatic decision that is to stand firm until Christ's return? It is important to understand that not every word spoken by the pope is considered to be divinely inspired. In fact, many popes have fulfilled their papal duties without ever making an infallible statement. It is only in very specific circumstances that a pope will speak with what would be considered "infallible" wisdom.
Jesus, whom we are all made in the image and likeness of, was perfectly rational. Christ knew that after his ascension, the most sensible way for future leaders to come to a final decision in His Church on earth was to have one appointed and undisputed leader. As soon as you put two or more people in the position of equal authority, you set the stage for disagreement and difficult decision making. This is why businesses have one CEO, and hockey teams have one head coach, not two. The Holy Spirit is ultimately our one and only CEO and head coach, but in order to communicate effectively to His earthly Church, the Lord utilizes a physical, earth-bound vessel through which to communicate and reveal His commands and will. Many members (including priests) of the Anglican church, one of the largest Protestant denominations, have come to realize the error in their original withdrawal from the authoritative teachings of the magisterium. Today, a significant portion of the Anglican community is in the process of RETURNING to full communion with Rome. Interesting.
Another barrier for many Christians to overcome in regards to the authenticity of papal authority is its lack of biblical origin. Catholics would argue that scripturally it is clear. For those that do not agree, I would pose this question: Where in the bible does it say that the bible, and the bible alone, is the authority of Christ's Church? There is nothing about the bible "in the bible" which means that at some point, a MAN other than Christ had to declare infallibly to the Christian community that the bible is inerrant. That is, without error. The inerrancy of the bible had to be accepted by Christians as dogma at the time of its compilation in order to be in full communion with the Church, as it is and should be today. The Church from that point forward, was grounded in tradition AND the teachings of the bible. Tradition has been argued to be unfavourable, especially the traditions of men. However, tradition is the natural manifestation of something that "works" within a certain community. When something works pleasantly, we tend to stick with it. Going to church on Sunday is tradition, celebrating Christmas is tradition and a bride wearing her flowing, white wedding gown at the altar is tradition. The authority of the pope and magisterium is a tradition. But is this truly the tradition of men? This is a question of massive importance, because if the traditions of the Catholic Church were indeed established by Jesus Christ, we must be sure to be in communion with those traditions. This is why prudent discernment of truth is monumentally important for all Christians.
Until Luther initiated the Protestant Reformation in 1517, the entire Christian world accepted the pope as their spiritual leader instituted by Christ. That means that for the subsequent 1500 years after Christ ascended to heaven, the holiest of Christian men that walked the earth, in careful discernment, accepted and followed the lead of the pope, along with the rest of the Christian community. It would seem to me quite distressing to think that for the first fifteen hundred years after Christ established His Church, that the body of Christian leaders got it WRONG. If the pope is not who the Catholic Church claims him to be, we can then conclude that for the first fifteen hundred years of Christianity, Christians were sinning heretically by idolizing a leader who, historically, has made false claims to teach infallibly. Essentially, Christ's bride would have been in the constant state of infidelity. Could it be that the Holy Spirit failed to move the leaders of the Church in the direction of the will of God for a millennium and a half? My sense of reason causes me to doubt that.
Most diligent Christians are familiar with the core scriptural arguments for the establishment of the pope, such as John 1:42 and Matthew 16:19. In addition to the Catholic interpretations that have existed unceasingly for two millenniums, I find it interesting that St. Paul journeys to Jerusalem to confer with Peter and stay with him for an extended period of time in Galatians 1:18. In Acts 15:7, Peter stands up and speaks as the voice of authority to the Council of Jerusalem. Peter's words to the men are so strong that it causes the entire room, amid the tension of debate, to fall silent and listen. Although it may be argued that these are not solid scriptural arguments for Peter as pope specifically, they show us that he was a man of significant authority in the early Church. I have found that when you put all of the pieces of the puzzle (no matter how seemingly miniscule) together, Peter's position in the Church becomes clear.
Understandably, it can be hard to get past the fact that there have been some nasty popes in the history of the Church, such as Pope Alexander VI. It bothers me as much as it does you, of this I am certain. Interestingly, none of these "bad" popes ever pronounced anything to be deemed infallible. The temptation of their acquired power detached them from the Holy Spirit, and spiritual withdrawal from their loyal service to the Church subsequently resulted. The sins of these men are tragic, but we must never forget that the pope is as much of a human as you and I. The flesh of the pope is no less "weak" than yours or mine. If you were the evil one seeking to bring ruin to the Church, who would you attack most viciously? From time to time, we hear about leaders in the Church who have been charged with awful crimes. People ask, "How can it be that such trusted and seemingly holy figures could commit such terrible acts?" I myself have asked that question but I am always reminded that ministers, preachers, deacons, priests, bishops and the pope are all – human. Peter, himself, was a lowly sinner like us. It is apparent that the Christian leaders of the past and present face the same degree of temptation (if not more) as we do. In many cases our past popes were known to be some of the humblest men to have ever lived. When Pope John Paul II passed away in April of 2005, he died with no possessions of value to his name. His funeral liturgy was no different than the funeral mass that will be provided for me when my last day has come. His funeral brought about the largest comprehensive gathering of heads of state in history. Leaders at war with one another, Catholics and Protestants, Muslims and Jews, all found themselves standing in Rome, side by side, in honour of the beloved pope. He was an extraordinary man with an extraordinary calling. But in his very nature, he was nothing more than a humble man trying to get to heaven.
Perhaps the reason why I am so passionate about this topic is because of my own personal encounter with Pope John Paul II in 2002 (in Toronto). His very presence radiated something that cannot be explained. He was physically a broken man, suffering from Parkinson's Disease and other ailments, yet he was spiritually alive and thriving. The love of Christ burned deep within him. This was apparent in his exchanges and encounters with the Church's faithful gathered at World Youth Day that summer, and in all of his papal encounters, writings and addresses during his service to the Church. This is a man who experienced life in Poland under the Nazi occupation, where he faced the relentless murder of many of his loved ones at nearby Auschwitz. Following World War II, Karol Woyjtyla lived under tyrannical Communist rule. As a young man, amidst the present dangers, he pursued seminary studies secretly underground. If the hidden seminary would have been found, he surely would have been executed, yet he was willing to take that chance. He wanted to serve God as a Catholic priest that intensely. This is also a man who visited his would-be assassin in prison in 1983. After recovering from severe blood loss due to the four bullet wounds received from his attempted assassination, he visited the hired Turkish hitman, Mehmet Agca, and offered his forgiveness. The bond between John Paul II and Agca became so profound that the Turkish prisoner deeply grieved the passing of his "brother" upon the death of the pope in 2005. As is plainly obvious, the story of this Blessed man's life is much too extensive to adequately describe here, but you can see why so many people were willing to follow him as their foremost Church leader. He was truly "one-of-a-kind." Pope Benedict XVI, our current pope, follows the same suit. Joseph Ratzinger's early life was no less dramatic or intriguing than that of his predecessor. He is a humble man of many gifts and talents, and has stood firm as our Catholic teacher and leader, amidst a time of great world-wide immorality and conflict, to lead Christ's flock faithfully.
By now you can clearly see my strong affection for the pope, and my firm standing on the authority of the magisterium. Doctrine, in its irrefutable nature, makes things much easier as a simple believer and follower of Christ because there is no room for dispute. You cannot "correct" the Holy Spirit. I know it is tough when you get caught in the middle of arguments, because there are strong arguments on both sides. However, there can only be one truth. Ultimately, that is for you to decide and I will accept you and love you as my Christian brother no matter where you plant yourself to be nourished. It is my true privilege to share my beliefs with you, as a Roman Catholic.

Many scholars, who more characteristically conduct research for years with minimal support, are having a hard time believing that these generous fellowships are merely to attend the symposium, and not to present papers, as is usual with travel fellowships.
Thirteen speakers from around the world from a variety of disciplines will explore the theme of water in the Islamic lands from southern Europe to South Asia from the 7th century to the present.
Topics range from the supply and distribution of water to its role in religion and popular culture.
Attendance at the Rivers of Paradise:
Water in Islamic Art and Culture Symposium in Doha, Qatar is an opportunity for advanced students and other scholars from around the world to meet and interact with one another.
The fellowship will also allow students and scholars to visit Doha, one of the fastest-growing Islamic Art centers in the Middle East.

RESQ Charitable Trust - When Transporting Cats, Combat Stress with Familiar Scents!
Unfamiliar territories, unfamiliar sounds and unfamiliar scents maketh for a grumpy ginger tom! While there's little a feline pet owner can do about territories and sounds, setting up a space with familiar scents can go a long way while transporting cats. To ensure there are no concerning whimpers of fear or loud and frightened meows, here's a lowdown on how to travel with a cat as you combat its stress with familiar scents.
Cats are creatures of routine. Even the slightest dissimilarity can get their little minds really stressing out. While travel can be pretty exciting for us humans who love a little change once in a while, it can be pretty daunting for a cat. To make it worse, the last thing it wants is to be tucked into a carrier for a few hours!
It is a known fact that the territory of a cat is marked by smell. Familiarity is key to ascertain a comfortable journey with your feline pet. The acquaintance of smell or the lack of it induce recognition in a cat which can further be a make-or-break for your cat's travel.
Along with ensuring a comfortable carrier, also make sure it is one that gives you enough scope for spot cleaning viz-a-viz cleaning the entire carrier. This is because your cat has marked its territory in its own way inside the carrier and would not like that smell to be washed off. Not to mention the time your cat will take to get familiar with the carrier all over again will only be a task for you!
A go-to way for cats to get comfortable with a space is by rubbing their cheek across it. Cat parents who are aware of this trait must take full leverage and let their pet cheek-rub the mode of transport. In doing so, they spread their scent across or parts of the object and start resonating with it as their purr-sonal territory!
Your cat's favourite blanket, bed or towel can be a major comforting factor in travel. Imbibed with its own smell, you may place it inside its carrier or its place of travel. The fact that it is their personal belonging will indeed add to their ease. Also placing this inside before it enters the carrier will add a sense of association in the cat.
To feel secure, cats like to know that they are the only cats around. Any scent of another cat can trigger stress. Thus, you must ensure that the mode of transport does not smell like any other cat in order to keep yours calm!
One of the best ways to soothe a stressed-out cat is resorting to catnip! Comprising of an organic compound called Nepetalactone, Catnip is actually a plant used in various ways for cats. One of the best inventory items for cat-parents is catnip toys! These toys exude an irresistible aroma that most cats love. However, this is recommended only if your cat is familiar to the smell!
Last but not least, your presence can combat your cat's stress in various ways -- your touch, care and of course your scent! Being around its parent can definitely be the most soothing thing for the tabby.
While scents are just one part that can add to the comfort of a travelling cat, they indeed are the most vital. Following the above tips, rest assured your cat will be one happy cat while being transported!


You know PicLens? If not I highly recommend taking a look at that marvelous picture search tool.
Especially interesting is the 3D view of the pictures – you can easily navigate through a whole bunch of pictures by using your mouse.
I thought it would be nice to integrate such a picture view in your own Flex application, so I played around a bit with the 3D album tutorial from Bartek Drozdz and after a couple of days finished a nice little component that could be easily embedded in your own applications.
To show you how easy it is to integrate the component, just watch the examples below. Also find here the complete source-code with examples – licensed under the friendly BSD license.
Update: You want to participate in the development of the component? There's a Google code page for this 3D album component available now.
