The European Union-funded Past4Future project aims at improving our knowledge of the climate system and the occurrence of abrupt climate changes during the last two interglacials, thereby paving the road for reducing the uncertainties in predicting future climate. The outcome of the project will eventually be globally disseminated and so far we have focused on the best way to communicate our results with citizens and policy-makers of the European Union.
For this purpose, we have (1) identified Past4Future stakeholders, (2) established a dialogue with them, using an online questionnaire, and (3) produced an assessment of their formulated needs and opinions. The online form presented 14 questions with a total of 78 multiple-choice options for answers as well as additional fields for entering detailed information. It took 10 to 12 minutes to complete the questionnaire.
We defined a Past4Future stakeholder as follows: an organization, a government agency, a commercial company or a community that has a direct or indirect stake in future climate change because it impacts its activities positively or negatively at a local, regional or global scale.
The aim was to receive feedback from at least 20 stakeholders. We identified and approached a total of 141 potential participants in very diverse positions, representing 22 European Union countries, Norway and the USA. The stakeholders were all contacted individually via targeted emails and friendly reminders. Unfortunately, we received feedback from only a few stakeholders: 18 people responded, but only 13 actually completed the questionnaire. Therefore, the opinions and comments expressed by the stakeholders in the review are based on these 13 feedbacks. A response rate of 9% illustrates how difficult it is to get the attention of the stakeholders although they have been individually approached and tended to. Our method obviously has not been successful; a personal face-to-face briefing with each stakeholder immediately before a paper-based questionnaire was scheduled would likely have produced a much higher response rate.
From the 13 stakeholders, seven come from the public sector (including politician, consultant, agency advisor), three are active in the private sector (e.g. consultant, media) and three are in the field of academia. Around half of the stakeholders operate in the strategic sphere, 30% conduct research and about 15% are in education fields.
However small the sample size is, the answers to the questionnaire form the foundation for assessing how to best present and disseminate the results and conclusions of the Past4Future project. This assessment is a first step to help the project partners to appraise stakeholders' interests and needs, the communication pitfalls and the recommended ways in which project activities and results must be communicated widely to the science community, among policy-makers, other stakeholders, and to citizens of Europe and beyond.
Figure 1: An excerpt from the stakeholder survey: Feedback to the question "In which contexts do you use projections about future climate change?" Stakeholders were allowed to select multiple answers since they can use future climate change projections in more than one context.
Firstly, we consider their views on climate change projections: (1) These projections are most often used in a scientific context but stakeholders active in the public sector also use the projections for policy development (Fig. 1). (2) It is important for the stakeholders to know the exact information source, the assumptions made and the associated uncertainties. Stakeholders require projections on climate change risks to be founded in peer-reviewed sources or other sources of high credibility.
Secondly, their main scientific interests are in: (1) the anthropogenic increase of atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations and (2) air and ocean temperature changes as well as sea level changes. The stakeholders are less interested in changes caused by solar and volcanic activity.
Thirdly, we consider their views on how to deliver the Past4Future project results (Fig. 2): (1) A personal briefing is preferred as the most useful method, supplemented by targeted information via email and website. (2) Press releases as well as written articles and conference presentations are considered useful means of delivering project results and conclusions. (3) Glossy brochures are deemed a waste of resources. In addition, most stakeholders estimate that information should be updated regularly.
Figure 2: An excerpt from the stakeholder survey: feedback to the question "How useful to you are the following methods of information delivery?" 11 of the 13 stakeholders responded to whether they found the different methods of delivery very useful, useful or not useful. The remaining two stakeholders provided written feedback.
Finally, in terms of the content, results should be delivered with an associated uncertainty. The stakeholder preference for this is an uncertainty that is expressed in "IPCC style" as they understand this concept. Again, they insist on the need to know the sources of uncertainty in the climate change projections.
The delivery of Past4Future results into policy forums cannot be assumed and must be approached in a proactive manner. We will use forms, means and modes that will target the European perspective and impact our stakeholders. This will be achieved through various communicative products (including personal briefings, conference presentations, science journals, press releases, and public addresses) during the next two years, thereby enhancing Europe's ability to act timely and prudently while facing the challenges of the future climate.


We all get angry from time to time. If we deal with anger in a healthy way, it helps us realize that something may be wrong and that perhaps something needs to change. But if our anger gets too severe, and we deal with it in an unhealthy way that causes problems at home, work or school, then it may be time to get some help in dealing with it.

New ferry for Fair Isle as UK Government confirms Levelling Up cash
The Scottish Government 'will leave no stone unturned' to save Amazon facility at Gourock says minister
Under 18s to get free bus travel in Scotland after ministers reach budget deal with Scottish Greens
Young people aged 18 and under are set to get free bus travel in Scotland, after the Scottish Government reached a deal with the Scottish Greens to pass its budget.
With the stage one debate on the Scottish Government's budget taking place tomorrow, the Scottish Greens agreed to back Scottish Government spending plans on the condition ministers provide up to £80m a year for young people across Scotland to get free bus travel from 2021.
Scottish Green co-leader Patrick Harvie said: "Free bus travel for young people is a transformational step towards tackling the climate emergency. This scheme will benefit young people starting college and families, some of whom stand to save thousands of pounds a year, and encourage whole generations of public transport users.
"Buses are the backbone of local public transport and the key to employment and training opportunities for so many of those starting out in life."
Confirming a last-minute deal had been reached, finance secretary Kate Forbes said the final agreement would bring increased support for young people, police, climate action and local government.
The revised deal is expected to bring £45m for a package of investments in low carbon projects, and £60m for the police service along with £13m of funding for frontline services and £5m in extra capital investment.
Ministers are expected to unveil an extra £95m in funding for local government.
Forbes said: "I am pleased to have reached an agreement to pass the Scottish budget and deliver certainty for communities, businesses and our vital public services – especially in face of the uncertainty created by the UK Government's decision to delay its budget.
"I want to thank all parties for the constructive way in which they have approached this year's discussions. While it is not possible to meet every party's demands in full, I believe in reaching formal agreement with the Green Party, I am also delivering on key asks from every party and I encourage all MSPs to consider giving their support to Scotland's budget."
She added: "When I presented the budget I said that every penny had been spent and that remains the case. In the absence of proposals to change spending, this additional investment will be funded through limited amounts of underspend, taking a multi-year approach to issues around non-domestic rates without impacting on local authority revenues, and additional consequentials from the fossil fuel levy. While this increases the financial exposure of the government it ensures that social security payments can be made and public services properly funded."
Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Willie Rennie said: "Just like last year and the year before the Greens have capitulated to the SNP Government, conceding their headline demands yet again.
"This budget leaves the police with a shortfall of tens of millions of pounds and the hard-pressed service with real problems.
"Local government capital is cut by £117m from its need. All this is to protect the budget for an independence referendum that no one thinks is actually going to happen this year. Yet the Green Party and the SNP are still putting money aside for it. People will be baffled by those priorities."

Q: Hibernate/JPA - LocalDate field gets 1 day off when being persisted to a MySQL Date database field Every time a Java LocalDate field is being persisted to a MySQL Date field 1 day is being lost. For instance a Java value of 01 July 2019 would be saved as 30 June 2019 in the Date MySQL column.
The MySQL database server is configured to have the 'system time zone' as CDT and I don't have permissions to change this.
The Java program is executed from Europe with the following persistence.xml configuration.
<property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.driver"
            value="com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver" />

<property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.url"
            value="...?useTimezone=true&useLegacyDatetimeCode=false&serverTimezone=America/Chicago&autoReconnect=true" />

<property name="hibernate.dialect"
            value="org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLInnoDBDialect" />

<property name="hibernate.jdbc.time_zone" value="America/Chicago"/>

The value America/Chicago was chosen because the database server is located in that region (MySQL is configured with the CDT time zone but the CDT abbreviation is not valid in Java)
I have tried without the useTimezone=true&useLegacyDatetimeCode=false and there was no difference. I have tried also with simultaneously having serverTimezone=UTC and hibernate.jdbc.time_zone as UTC and without luck also.
In pom.xml I'm using the following jdbc and hibernate versions.
<mysql-connector.version>8.0.18</mysql-connector.version>
<hibernate.version>5.4.6.Final</hibernate.version>

Using hibernate version 5.4.6 I understand that JPA 2.2 is supported which means that the LocalDate should be supported out of the box without any converter.
I'm not able to get it working. All the things tried were after reading similar issues on StackOverflow. Whatever I try the date will always come -1 day in the database.
Here you can see all the details

The Legends of Tea: Eyelids of Bodhidharma,The Fabled...
Before the first leaves from the wild tea bush fell into Emperor Shen Nung's bowl of hot water, the leaves of tea had long been used by the Chinese only for preparing medicine and vegetable relishes.
It was only until that incident in 2737 BC that the leaves of the camelia sinensis, the plant from which all teas come from, were first considered as ingredients of a hot beverage.
The tea of today took on a long journey before it resembles anything like it is, and quite literally so, because whereas the tea we drink comes either in looseleaf or powder form, the ancient Chinese used to press their tea leaves into bricks. A document from 3rd century AD explains that for them to prepare a bowl of tea, the bricks first had to be crushed and mixed with onion, ginger, orange, and other spices, and then hot water was poured over the concoction.
Unlike today where tea is drank for pure pleasure, back then the medicinal properties of tea was the foremost reason why they drank tea and integrated it into their daily lives.
The popularity of tea in China grew to such a point where to fulfill the demand, they started to cultivate tea, thus sowing the seeds of the tea industry, a billion-dollar industry that will take over the world.
By the early 8th century it had embedded itself into the Chinese cultural life and became the "national beverage". In 780 AD, the greatest Chinese authority on tea, the poet Lu Yu, was commissioned by tea merchants to create a compendium of contemporary tea knowledge, and the book The Classic of Tea was written.
It was the first ever book written about the virtues of tea. Divided into nine parts:
mythological origins, horticultural description and and proper planting of camelia sinensis,
fifteen tools for picking, steaming, pressing, drying and storing tea leaves and tea bricks,
methods for the production of tea bricks,
twenty eight items used in the brewing and drinking of tea, including specifications and instructions, construction and recommended materials,
guidelines for the proper preparation of tea,
actual consumption of tea, some of its properties, the history of tea drinking, and the various types of tea known in 8th century China,
anecdotes about the history of tea in Chinese records,
compares and ranks eight tea producing regions in China at its time,
procedures that may be omitted and under what circumstances, tools and methods that can be excluded in cultivation and processing under abnormal conditions,
how to transfer the contents onto placards or large scrolls for hanging on the wall for quick references
The comprehensive knowledge on tea has made it the bible for tea drinkers of the Tang Dynasty (618-907).
To China's great love for tea, Lu Yu advocated for moderation:
"Moderation is the very essence of tea. Tea does not lend itself to extravagance. If a tea is insipid and bland, it will lose its flavor before even half a cup has disappeared. How much more so in the case of extravagance in its use. The vibrancy will fade from the color and the perfection of its fragrance will melt away."
By this time, the tea had spread beyond Lu Yu's reach: tea was about to reach the nomads of Tibet and Mongolia, then eventually the Arabs, and it was only a matter of time when it would take over the world.

With a concave yang cylinder at one end and a smooth copper yin ball on the other, this can used on the face or body. It adapts perfectly to the curves of the face and allows stimulation of finger joints, neck muscles and ankle tendons.
Its smooth yin sphere can be used to give gentle massages to the eyelids and other delicate areas of the face that require cooling to alleviate pain.
Roll the smooth yin sphere for 2 minutes over the suggusted reflexology areas to dissipate heat and relieve tension.
Roll the concave cylinder for 3 minutes over the affected joints. Its ergonomic design allows it to adapt to the natural shape of jaw reflex area of the face.
On affected areas, roll for 1 minute, check for improvement and continue stimulating the area for up to 3 minutes. The combination of rolling and bending improves lubrication of the joints, increasing flexibility of the stimulated area.
Rolled for 3 minutes on each finger, the concave yang cylinder quickly relieves joint pain. Its ergonomic form fits nicely over the rounded parts of the body.
In traditional Chinese medicine, the main energy meridians begin or end in the fingers and the toes. This tool allows us to easily reactivate the energy flow of the meridians without a deep knowlege of Chinese medicine techniques.
For example, to treat disorders of the feet or bladder (reflected on the chin), begin stimulating at the chin and working towards the angle of the mandible on each side. The anatomy of the tool adapts perfectly to all unique jaw sizes.
The texture of the smooth yin sphere maximizes surface area contact on the skin. For example, to treat eye tension, massage gently around the eye and over the eyelid.

Back to Holocaust Memoirs | Back to MIGS
Abstract and Key Words
Editors' Introduction
Chapter One: To Sobibor
Chapter Two: Sobibor
Chapter Three: After Sobibor
I had been invited to be the guest speaker at a Holocaust Memorial Day commemoration service sponsored by a local fraternal society. The small hall was packed with people, mostly elderly, who had come to remember and to grieve.
After some preliminaries, I rose to speak. I had been involved at that time in research on the heroic resistance in the Treblinka death camp. As I spoke that evening, I noticed a mumbling from the back of the hall every time I mentioned the heroic resistance fighters of Treblinka. When I spoke of the bravery of the Warsaw ghetto resistance combatants I heard the same mumbling from the back of the hall. This interjected mumbling happened three or four more times.
When I ended, and the ceremonies were concluded, the chairman of the evening came up to me and apologized for the mumbling. "You have to understand," he said, "the man in the back is a survivor of the uprising in Sobibor. He wasn't mumbling--he was adding Sobibor to your mention of heroic acts of resistance and revenge. That was his way of commemorating those who fought with him and fell in battle."
I became excited on hearing these words. The Sobibor camp was not a labor camp, it was an extermination camp. Hundreds of thousands of innocent victims were turned into smoke and ashes there until the desperate inmates revolted and broke out. Very few survived the revolt and fewer still managed to survive in the hostile countryside. The number of eyewitnesses who could tell the story of the Sobibor tragedy and heroism was very limited. I asked the chairman to introduce me to the Sobibor survivor. He brought me over to an ordinary-looking man at the back of the hall, Mr. Kalmen Wewryk, and introduced me.
Mr. Wewryk, I soon learned, was anything but ordinary. This sincere and simple man had witnessed the tragedy of his family, his community and his people. He had also witnessed their grandeur, when the helpless skeleton-like Jews, abandoned by the world and doomed to death, rose in fury and wrote a chapter in the book of Jewish heroism.
I met Mr. Wewryk several days later and I urged him to transmit his unique testimony to future generations. I didn't have to urge him. He desperately wanted to tell his story before it would be too late. Mr. Wewryk was obviously not in the best of health; I felt somewhat hesitant about bringing him back to his tear-laden past, to a suffering beyond words and to emotions that strained human sanity and endurance.
We sat together for over three years while he told me his story. Many times his eyes filled with tears and he ran out of the room. Many times I ran out of the room. I felt guilty at having brought this humble, good man back into the hell from which he had never really completely escaped. We pushed on, however, and the following pages are his memorial to those who perished and his legacy to future generations who must know.

Fraud Becomes a Problem with Energy Efficiency Programs

Annually, every person in the US uses 282 million Btus of energy, according to the US Energy Information Administration (EIA). The government spends billions of dollars each year on energy efficiency programs, which are designed to lower that number. With so much money at stake, perhaps it is not too surprising that fraud arises.
Energy efficiency programs produce many benefits. They lower energy costs for customers, produce less carbon emissions, reduce energy inequities, relieve stress on the grid, and create a healthier environment.
As a result, the US Department of Energy as well as state and local government create a number of programs that encourage businesses and individuals to lower their energy consumption. Mass Save is one such program. Bershire Gas, Eversource, National Grid, Cape Cod Compact, Liberty, and Unitil are its sponsors. The multi-faceted program features energy audits designed to identify inefficiencies; provide information for buyers so they understand the benefits of and purchase efficient products; and offer incentives to builders and homeowners for installing modern energy efficient solutions.
Bogus Mass Save Contacts
Two brothers, Christopher Ponzo and Joseph Ponzo, allegedly bribed an unnamed associate at a lead vendor for the Mass Save program to cheat the state out millions of dollars in contracts. The bribes started at $1,000 a week in 2013 and snowballed into $10,000 bonuses and expensive gifts, like an Apple MacBook and a John Deere tractor with a backhoe and loader, as the scheme became more complex and lucrative over time.
Mass Save disburses hundreds of millions of dollars energy efficiency funds to lead vendors, one of which the unnamed associate worked for. These companies are tasked with contracting energy conservation and improvement work for consumers.
Christopher Ponzo, an electrician, started bribing the associate to ensure the vendor granted his company, CAP Electric, millions in contract work. Joseph Ponzo was later looped in to his own contracts when the other two helped him create an insulation company, Air Tight, under his spouse's name. Joseph Ponzo and his spouse have no experience in energy efficiency insulation.
The associate was allegedly paid extra to help out with the alleged Air Tight scheme, including helping it to become an approved Mass Save contractor and to handle billing and invoicing for projects.
Joseph Ponzo, who ironically is a Stoneham, MA police officer and his brother Christopher Ponzo, were recently indicted on one count of wire conspiracy and 12 counts of wire fraud. They await sentencing.
Energy efficiency funding is plentiful, which creates the potential for corruption. As a result, energy companies and the government need to put checks in place to ensure that such funds are properly used.

Matt,
True, but unfortunately part of human nature, just look at the multi-trillion business in computer hacking.

I think every State has this kind of story and they need to be posted and put in table form for comparison. Even though one case gets caught it does not stop unless, system is in place to back the audit with diversity in auditors.
Sadly, I agree with you. I am not sure how many resources are expended to check these programs. or how sophisticated the checking is I am sure there are some checks in place. One problem is no matter what is put into place, criminals will find a hole and try to worm their way in. If only these individuals would use their skills for good rather than bad.
Thank Paul for the Post!

We've come to the lake to swim, some friends (two or three others) and myself. The lake has a large island in the middle and may as well be little more than a moat for the island; it's eighty feed across from the shore to the island at its widest point. We swim clockwise around the lake, against the current. As we finish our lap and come once again upon our starting point, I notice that a large tree has fallen across the width of one of the narrower portions of the lake. There are lots of people on that tree, using it as an ad hoc diving board. All of them are guys that I knew from high school and none of them I particularly care for.
Two of my accompanying friends swim up ahead faster to meet these guys and try out the diving board tree. The other asks me what I'm waiting for. I don't bother telling him that I knew these guys but I get caught up in the moment and send myself forward, butterfly strokes and all, as vigorously fast as I can against the current.
When we get to the tree, I climb up and everyone else has jumped back into the water already, swimming away in a mock race, with the current this time. On the tree is a young woman I know from high school (Becca? Lauren? something like that); she's in a white t-shirt and guy's swimming trunks. She makes a few comments in my direction but I'm cautious around her; as cautious as I am diving back into the water. I know how shallow it can be at some points, after all.


I'm back home for the first time in over 7 months and I'm a little unsure of what to make of it. My dog remembers me and my dad does too. My room is pretty much how I left it. The Target is now a Super Target across the street from its original location. I didn't notice any other significant changes on the drive back from the airport.
I wish there was somewhere I could walk right now. I am starting to fear that I'll resort to becoming one of those people that goes to Starbucks to read or write. Normally, that's fine... you walked to M Street; it took work to get there. But to drive to Starbucks and sit down for a few hours? That seems different. Repulsively different. It feels good to be back home mostly because I can be coddled by my parents and leave my stuff somewhere knowing that it won't be displaced by the rightful owners of the space. But I actually already resent the doctor appointments that are stacking up and disrupting my plans to see the people I want to see when I'm home.
This summer definitely cemented DC's place as my home. I had the privilege of living in gloriously decrepit Darnall, in the even more run-down S Street house, and in the fresh but prison-like New South. California is good, but I miss everyone already. Talk to you soon.

As I looked back at my five years in Korea, some say I must have visited all parts of Korea but it just dawned on me as a sudden realization that there is one particular province in the country that I had yet to visit. That is Jeolla province. As the weather cools and the leaves began changing colors, autumn is the best season to take road trips out of the city. Ask any local about the best place for fall foliage in Korea, and Naejangsan National Park will unquestionably be named. Since Naejangsan is located in Jeongeup, Jeollabuk-do, I figured it is best to visit all the nearby #KoreaMustGo100 places altogether! After much research, Naejangsan, Damyang and Boseong seemed like the best itinerary that I can go with. Read on to find out how my day rolled out!
Started the day really early at Naejangsan National Park located in Jeongeup, Jeollbuk-do as we entered the park at 6:30AM. To my pleasant surprise, there are way more people at the park in this time of the day than I had imagined. Mostly professional photographers, who are there to set up their cameras at the best spot while waiting for sun rise and its changing position I supposed.
The mandatory shot of the spectacular Uhwajeong Pavilion in Naejangsan National Park. I visited Naejangsan on the first weekend of November, but I must say the full peak for this year is probably sometime along the second week of November (depending on rain or other weather factors).
A mini bus that brings you to the cable car boarding point is available at 1,000 won (one-way). I would recommend just taking a walk through the park since the roads are well paved out for leisure walking. And you may also take beautiful fall foliage along the way.
Since I was early, the queue for the cable car was not exactly long and I got the round-trip ticket for 8,000 won per adult. The cable car ride was only about 5-min+ and you will arrive at the observatory of the Naejangsan National Park.
It might not seem entirely "autumn" in the above picture, but I am assuming most of the trees in the picture above at just evergreen all year round. The ones that had turned red / orange, are pretty obvious.
After departing from Naejangsan National Park, the next stop was Juknokwon in Damyang-gun, Jeollnam-do, which is just another hour drive away. Some say that this is the Korean version of Japan's Arashiyama in Kyoto, while I have yet to visit Kyoto, I can't say if it is comparable.
Once you enter, you will realize the majesty of these tall and skinny bamboo trees surrounding you. Though I may not be exactly tall, being in this forest just made me feel somehow shorter and smaller than before, hah. One thing for sure is the air just felt much fresher and there was an instant revitalizing feeling. One of the must-try food here is the Bamboo-flavored ice-cream, which I did not manage to try. Definitely giving it a try the next time if I'm ever heading back!
Drove for another 2 hours to arrive at our final destination of the day, Boseong Green Tea Plantation. This is yet another place in Korea that I had been wanting to visit. I guess I was lucky since the crowd hadn't formed when I was there, and I could take multiple photos without any obstruction.
And of course, I had to feature my crystal ball that I had been carrying with me whenever I know I'm traveling to somewhere scenic (see more photos on my travel via hashtag #아이린랑여행갈래).
Introducing my newest travel buddy – Ryan the maneless lion from Kakao Friends. I am so in love with him, and you may also check out my newest hashtag on Instagram #라이언랑여행갈래 for updates. 😆 Had him featured with my green tea ice-cream, a must-try if you are here! Since I did not get to try the bamboo-flavored one in Damyang, I had to try this green tea one here. And it was absolutely yummy!
Photo: Another view of the green tea fields. The path leads to the observatory where you can see the ocean from far away.
Climbed all the way to top to get to the observatory, and it somehow felt like I was hiking up a mountain. But the view from the top was pretty worth the trek up.
So that pretty much concludes an entire day at Jeolla province. Had such a fun and fulfilling day, and I was more than happy to check 3 places out of the #KoreaMustGo100 list, all in one day! Probably the most fruitful road-trip I had ever embarked on thus far.
*If you do not wish to drive in Korea, hire a van with driver from INDIWAY!

General audience: it is essential to revive the alliance between the family and the Christian community
Vatican City, 9 September 2015 (VIS) – The relationship between the family and the Christian community, "a 'natural' bond, since the Church is a spiritual family and the family is a small Church", was the theme chosen by the Pope for the catechesis of today's Wednesday general audience in St. Peter's Square.
The Christian community is the home of those who believe in Jesus as the source of fraternity between all humanity. The Church journeys among peoples, in the history of men and women, fathers and mothers, sons and daughters. "This is the history that matters to the Lord", explained the Pope. "The great events of world powers are written in history books, and stay there. But the history of human affections is inscribed directly on God's heart, and it is the history that remains for eternity. It is the place of life and faith. The family is the locus of our initiation – irreplaceable, indelible – into this history of full life that culminates in the contemplation of God for all eternity in heaven, but begins in the family".
"The son of God also learned human history in this way, and experienced it to its end. … Then, when he left Nazareth and began his public life, Jesus formed a community around him, an 'assembly', a convocation of people. This is the meaning of the word 'church'".
In the Gospels, Jesus' assembly has the form of "a hospitable family, not an exclusive closed sect". Pope Francis observed, "we find Peter and with John, but also the hungry and the thirsty, the outsider and the persecuted, the sinner and the publican, the Pharisees and the masses. And Jesus never ceases to welcome them all and to speak with them, including those who did not expect to encounter God in their lives. It is a powerful lesson for the Church! The same disciples were chosen to take care of this assembly, of this family invited by God".
In order to continue to experience the reality of Jesus' assembly, "it is essential to revive the alliance between the family and the Christian community", he affirmed. "We could say that the family and the parish are the two places in which the communion of love that finds its ultimate source in God Himself is realised. A true Church according to the Gospel cannot but have the form of a welcoming home, with open doors, always. Churches, parishes and institutions with closed doors cannot call themselves churches – they should call themselves museums".
"Today this alliance is crucial. Against the centres of power – ideological, financial and political, we posit our experiences in these centres of love: evangelising, full of human warmth, based on solidarity and participation, and also mutual forgiveness. Certainly, it requires a generous faith to find the intelligence and the courage to renew this alliance. Families at times pull back, saying that they are not up to the challenge. … But no-one is! … Without God's grace, we cannot do anything. And the Lord never arrives in a new family without some kind of miracle. Let us remember what He did at the wedding in Cana. Yes, the Lord, if we place ourselves in His hands, makes us perform miracles: these everyday miracles, when the Lord is there, in the family".
"Naturally the Christian community must play its part. For instance … favouring interpersonal dialogue, and mutual understanding and respect. May families take the initiative and be conscious of their responsibility to bring their precious gifts to the community!" exclaimed the Pope. "We must all be aware that Christian faith plays on the open field of life shared with all, and the family and parish must perform the miracle of achieving a more community-based life for the whole of society".
After the catechesis, in his greetings to various groups of faithful, the Pope remarked that today the Church celebrates the liturgical memory of the Jesuit St. Peter Claver, patron of the missions in Africa, and expressed his hope that the saint's example, with his tireless service to the weakest, impel the young to choose solidarity with the needy. "May his spiritual vigour help the sick to carry the cross with courage, and his love for Christ be a model for newly-weds of the love that should occupy the centre of the family", added the Holy Father.

Archbishop Gallagher at the UN Conference on the protection of victims of ethnic and religious violence in the Middle East
Vatican City, 9 September 2015 (VIS) – Archbishop Paul Richard Gallagher, secretary for Relations with States, spoke at the United Nations International Conference on the Protection of Victims of Ethnic and Religious Violence in the Middle East, held yesterday in Paris, France. The prelate remarked that during this past year we have witnessed "unspeakable atrocities committed in the Middle East, which have forced thousands of Christians and members of other religious and ethnic minorities to abandon their homes and seek refuge elsewhere in precarious conditions, involving great physical and moral suffering".
"Fundamental principles such as the value of life, human dignity, religious freedom and the peaceful and harmonious coexistence of individuals and peoples are at stake. The phenomenon continues, with the violation of human rights and international humanitarian law by the so-called Islamic State, as well as those perpetrated by other parties to the conflict. The drama of migration during recent weeks, which has compelled Europe to pay greater attention to the situation, is irrefutable proof of this tragedy".
He went on to indicate three key aspects for improving the future of ethnic and religious minorities in the Middle East, beginning with raising awareness in the international community to face the humanitarian emergency and to guarantee minimum conditions of safety for minorities and Christian communities.
"Currently the situation compels us to deal with the humanitarian crisis", but, "in the long term, other suitable measures will have to be taken to ensure their presence in their homelands. Among the challenges to be faced, I would underline those regarding first and foremost the respect for human rights, especially those freedom of religion and conscience. It is important to insist on religious freedom, which obviously includes the freedom to change religion. Indeed, in many countries in the Middle East, freedom of worship exists, although the space for religious freedom is at times extremely limited. Increasing this space for freedom is necessary to guarantee to all those who belong to the various religious communities the true freedom to live and profess their faith. It would appear appropriate for the States in the region to be directly involved, along with the rest of the international community, in protecting the fundamental rights of Christians and members of other religious minorities. It is not a question of protecting one religious community or another, or one ethnic group or another, but of protecting people who belong to the single human family and whose fundamental rights are systematically violated".
The second issue is that of guaranteeing the right of refugees to return to live with dignity and in safety in their country of origin; a right that "must be defended and guaranteed both by the international community and by States, whose citizens are refugees or displaced. It must be emphasised that Christians and other religious minorities do not wish simply to be tolerated but to be considered as citizens to full effect. It is important that this concept of citizenship opens up an ever broader space, as a point of reference for social life, guaranteeing the rights of all, including members of minority groups, through the implementation of adequate legal measures".
Finally, it is important to face the phenomenon of terrorism and to promote interreligious dialogue. "The mechanisms must be found to encourage all, including in particular countries with a Muslim majority, to deal with terrorism in a serious way, with particular attention to the issue of education", observed the prelate. "In this respect, it is important that teaching in schools, internet use and the preaching of religious leaders do not provide an opportunity for the development of intransigent and extremist attitudes, or radicalisation, but instead promote dialogue and reconciliation. Furthermore, it should not be forgotten that care must be taken regarding the use of certain expressions and manifestations, considered sacred by some religions, as occurs from time to time in the West, to avoid acts causing offence to those to whom they are meaningful".
It is also essential to promote interreligious dialogue, which is "an antidote to fundamentalism, which afflicts religious communities. Jewish, Christian and Muslim religious leaders can and must play a fundamental role in favouring both interreligious and intercultural dialogue and education in mutual understanding. Furthermore, they must clearly condemn the abuse of religion to justify violence". Archbishop Gallagher concluded by adding "a positive and respectful separation of religion and State should also be promoted. In this sense, it is necessary to contribute to develop the idea of the need to distinguish between the two spheres, in favour of autonomy and mutual independence, without concealing the indispensable collaboration between them, so that they may coexist without contradicting one another, thanks to dialogue between religious and political authorities and with respect for their respective competences".

Neville Oliver Linney (1 July 1933 – 9 May 1985) was an Australian rules footballer who played with St Kilda in the Victorian Football League (VFL) during the 1950s.

Recruited from Malvern Grammar, Linney was primarily a half back flanker, but was also used up forward on occasions. He had an immediate impact on the VFL scene in 1953 and was selected to represent the league in the Adelaide Carnival that year, which he returned from with bronchitis. In what would be his penultimate league appearance, Linney had the unusual distinction of kicking his team's only goal, as St Kilda managed only 1.5 (11) against Melbourne, the third-lowest VFL/AFL score since 1916. He then kicked five goals in his last ever game for St Kilda, a win over Collingwood at Junction Oval in 1957.

Linney, who had prior convictions, was sent to jail in 1961 for a period of two years, after going to court over a break and enter into a South Yarra shop. He pleaded guilty to the charges of shopbreaking and stealing. In 1966 he was again in court, this time charged with assault and attempted robbery on a woman in a dry cleaning shop.

5G could widen digital divide, Chorus warns
Keep eliminating the digital divide at the forefront when formulating policy, Chorus tells government
Stuart Corner (Computerworld New Zealand) 02 May, 2018 14:20
Chorus has warned the Government that, without direct intervention, deployment of 5G cellular technology by New Zealand's three mobile network operators could exacerbate the country's digital divide.
The warning was issued in response to a request from the MBIE, sent to multiple organisations, for their perspectives on the challenges and opportunities of a 5G rollout.
"Chorus has today encouraged the Government to keep its objective of eliminating the digital divide at the forefront when formulating policy about 5G, so significant sectors of the economy do not miss out," Chorus said.
CEO Kate McKenzie said the specific use cases and business cases for 5G were still unclear and the overall economics challenges, and therefore a business-as-usual deployment by three operators would be unlikely to achieve economically sustainable broad deployment.
"Commercial operators will, quite rightly, seek to generate a commercial return from their investments, meaning 5G rollouts are likely to be incremental, focused on cities and with potentially higher costs to consumers," she said.
"But that may see significant segments of the economy, such as rural or the less able to pay, miss out while cities and the well-off get the benefit, and this will harm New Zealand's overall competitiveness."
Chorus said it had proposed a range of solutions to support the development of a 5G policy to most effectively address the digital divide.
"Options range from simple commercial site sharing agreements to only rolling out physical infrastructure once and using network slicing software technology to ensure vibrant competition, through to a fully regulated open access network, and a full spectrum of options in between," McKenzie said.
"Already today Chorus assets are used by each of the mobile operators to provide their mobile services, and not all future sharing arrangements would require regulatory intervention. A sensible exploration of all the options is warranted to effectively address the digital divide."

McKenzie said also that, to support future innovation, some spectrum should be held back from any initial auction. She called for the findings of the Commerce Commission's mobile market study to be factored into any policy decisions "to ensure any competition issues are not inadvertently deepened."
The Commission launched the study in October 2017 to deal with what it said were a number of competition and regulatory questions that had been accumulating for some time as a result of fixed-mobile convergence, driven by evolving technology and evolving consumer preferences.
In March this year it expanded the scope of the study after receiving submissions expressing concerns with the current structure of the market, and issued a paper detailing the expanded scope for its study.
As regards 5g, the Commission said it would aim to identify "upcoming key events (eg, 5G deployment and spectrum allocation, and widespread eSIM), and how these events, given what we have seen from the past, might play out in terms of: competition (eg, physical infrastructure versus MVNOs); and consumer outcomes."

Reimar Constantin von Alvensleben (26 August 1809 – 28 March 1892) was a Prussian (and later Imperial German) general.

Born at Eichenbarleben in the Province of Saxony, Alvensleben entered the Prussian Guards from the cadet corps in 1827. He became first lieutenant in 1842, captain in 1849, and major on the Great General Staff in 1853, whence after seven years he went to the Ministry of War. He was soon afterwards promoted colonel, and commanded a regiment of Guard infantry up to 1864, when he became a major-general after the Second Schleswig War.

Alvensleben commanded a brigade of guards in the Austro-Prussian War of 1866. At the action of Soor (Burkersdorf) on 28 June, he distinguished himself greatly, and at the Battle of Königgrätz where he led the advanced guard of the Guards Corps, his energy and initiative were still more conspicuous. Soon afterwards he succeeded to the command of his division, General Wilhelm Hiller von Gärtringen having fallen in the battle; he was promoted lieutenant-general, and retained this command after the conclusion of peace, receiving in addition the order Pour le Mérite for his services.

In 1870, on the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian War, Alvensleben succeeded Prince Friedrich Karl in command of the III Army Corps, which formed part of the 2nd German army. But his questionable judgment with inconsidered attacks at Vionville-Mars-la-Tour resulted in heavy casualties. Shortly before his death in 1892 he was awarded the Order of the Black Eagle.

The Prussian Infantry Regiment Nr. 52 in Cottbus was named von Alvensleben in his honour.

 Knight of the Order of the Red Eagle, 4th Class with Swords, 1849; 1st Class with Oak Leaves, 16 June 1871

In recent years, postcolonial theory has emerged as the most influential scholarly framework for understanding the Global South. It is known for its criticism of Western theories, especially Marxism, and as not only being inadequate but even complicit in Europe's imperial project. But while the concerns of postcolonial theory are legitimate, its alternatives are not. In fact, under the guise of its critique of Eurocentrism, the theory has resurrected many of the oldest European myths about the East. Through an examination of some key postcolonial thinkers, we show that it fails both as a framework and as political critique.
