Minnesota pledges additional $15M to electric…
Minnesota pledges additional $15M to electric vehicles; money from Volkswagen settlement
By Forum News Service |
State regulators have earmarked approximately $15 million of settlement funds from a federal lawsuit with Volkswagen to replace Minnesota school buses and heavy-duty vehicles with ones powered by electric motors.
The state Pollution Control Agency on Wednesday announced plans to continue a series of grant programs established during the first phase of settlement funding that began in 2018 and ends in January 2020. Approximately $23.5 million in clean transportation initiatives are planned for the next phase, which concludes in 2023.
As part of Volkswagen's 2017 settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice, the company agreed to pay out a total of $15 billion for violating emissions standards. Prosecutors alleged that the manufacturer knowingly sold diesel cars and SUVs that produced 30 to 40 times more nitrogen oxides than the law permits.
A $2.9 billion portion of the settlement was set aside for states and tribal entities to share, with Minnesota receiving approximately $47 million.

Google's "right to be forgotten" has seen 328,000 URLs pulled down following some 91,000 requests from European citizens. The first day of the saw 12,000 requests roll in.
The continued action comes as a result of the May decision by the European Court. The goal was to have outdated or irrelevant articles about a person removed from search results in Europe. Google has installed a team and a kind of council to field requests and decide what is irrelevant and what is information that should stay.
While there has been a lot of talk about Google in relation to the "right to be forgotten" policy, the European Union has included Yahoo and Bing in its requests to participate with Microsoft putting in its own system to fielding removal requests. There has been a good deal of push back about the European Union's push to clean out unfavorable material about citizens with the "right to be forgotten" being viewed as "censoring history" by Jimmy Wales, founder of Wikipedia. Wales is also on the advisory committee of Google's program.
Currently Google has removed search results in around 51 percent of requests. The company is said to not just remove content because a request is put in and has demanded more information for 15 percent of requests.

Become A Modern Day Abolitionist – Campaign Update January 2015
Become A Modern Day Abolitionist
In the time of Wilberforce, much of the evidence used in pro-slavery propaganda was of dubious origin and in some instances it was fabricated to salve the conscience of the masses. As American novelist Toni Morrison has commented, "Slavery broke the world in half, it broke it in every way. You can't do that for hundreds of years and it not take a toll. They had to dehumanise, not just the slaves but themselves. They had to reconstruct everything in order to make the system appear true"*.
Each age of abolitionists used the tools they had at the time. In Wilberforce's and Clarkson's time they used firsthand accounts, signed petitions, artefacts and the visual representation of slave experiences in their anti-slavery material. Whilst the true horror of the experiences of the enslaved is so enormous and appalling that it is often beyond visual depiction or expression of language, it has to be represented in some ways.
Some of the constructs and values held by the anti-slavery camp were not without reproach. Sometimes they reinforced racial stereotypes and perpetuated the notion of white benevolence that was so prevalent in subsequent commemorative memorabilia. In common with the past however, it is necessary to stir people's consciousness with the truth of the violence and injustice suffered by many.
Enslaved people cannot be seen as a collective as each person's suffering is individual. Indeed, the multiracial aspect of modern slavery makes it less prone to the sort of religious or racist belief systems that helped keep it in place for centuries. We are slowly waking up to the fact that as consumers, slavery touches all of us in some form. The world is a smaller place.
Now slavery is not socially acceptable but rather a practice in all its forms. Many people find these forms abhorrent and therefore slavery hides in the shadows, only flourishing through deception, concealment and cunning. It can only be addressed by talking about it, recognising it, legislating against it and having strong anti-slavery campaigns wrought by individuals and governments.
The campaign to light the monument serves not only as a memorial to the voices of past abolitionists but also as a declaration of the new voices recognising the injustice of oppressive behaviour still present today by those who want to benefit through other people's suffering.
Be a modern abolitionist by literally shining a light on the subject of slavery and educating yourself into awareness so slavery finds less dark corners in which to flourish.
Run the Hull Marathon for Wilberforce! The Hull Marathon this year will start and finish at the Wilberforce monument. We are appealing for runners to run to raise money for our charity. The event can be run on an individual basis or as a member of a 4 person relay. Get in touch with us via email, then get sponsored and help us light the monument in recognition of Hull's connection with William Wilberforce. We have 10 runners to date! Donations and sponsorships can be made through Virgin Money Giving or by emailing us.
Our thanks this month go to the artist Quentin Budworth and Clare Huby from Roots and Wings for some excellent advice on funding. Thank you to Glynis Neslen for putting our name forward to receive Liz Dees' model of the monument made for the parade at Freedom Festival – this has now become an excellent resource.

The William and Mary Sports Blog
W&M Football All-Decade Team: 2010s
The 2010s witnessed Jimmye Laycock's final seasons with the Green and Gold. [photo via tribeathletics.com]
It was a decade of ups and downs for the Tribe, but one that saw plenty of great talent walk through the storied campus of William & Mary. From Jonathan Grimes to John Carpenter, the Green and Gold fielded its share of talent.
The decade witnessed the end of Head Coach Jimmye Laycock's storied career with the Tribe, but also the renewed birth of the program with Head Coach Mike London.
It is with great honor we present the William & Mary All-Decade Football Team of the 2010s.
W&M All-Decade Team: 2010s
Steve Cluley was unquestionably the most reliable and consistent QB for the Tribe over the last decade. [photo by Bob Keroack via tribeathletics.com]
Steve Cluley
The absolute, unquestioned #1 QB for the Tribe over the past decade was Steve Cluley. A consistent passer who could also get it done with his legs, Cluley opened up the Green and Gold's passing game for the first time in many years during his time with the Tribe.
By his junior/senior seasons, the Tribe was seldom, if ever, running plays out from center; instead, Cluley and the rest of the offensive unit ran the majority of plays from the shot gun formation — spreading the Tribe's playmakers out wide, getting them in space, and letting Cluley pick apart opposing defenses.
When it was all said and done, Cluley finished his career with 35 consecutive starts, which was the most by a Tribe signal caller since David Corley logged 41 straight starts from 1999-02. He finished his career ranked among the program's top-10 in seven categories: 6th in passing yards (6,864), 6th in total offense (7,128), 4th in passing attempts (959), 3rd in passing completions (577), tied for 5th in completion percentage (60.2), 8th in passing touchdowns (39) and 7th in 200-yard passing performances (16).
Jonathan Grimes will always be remembered as a William & Mary all-time great. [photo via tribeathletics.com]
Others deserving mention: Kendell Anderson, Mikal Abdul-Saboor
The player of the DECADE, forget running back of the decade, was Jonathan Grimes. A stud who played for the Tribe at the beginning of the 2010s would eventually go down as one of the all-time great William & Mary players.
Grimes contributed to the team in just about every way, shape, and form imaginable: he could run and catch the ball, he returned both punts and kicks, and provided invaluable leadership for the Tribe.
A First-Team All-American, CAA Player of the Year, and the current holder of several all-time stat lines with William & Mary, Grimes' name can and should be discussed among the William & Mary football program's all-time greats.
But enough from us, we'll let his numbers do the talking:
W&M's all-time leading rusher (4,541 yards)
W&M's all-time leader in all-purpose yards (7,955)
W&M's all-time leader in kickoff return yards (2,289)
W&M's all-time leader in rushing attempts (936)
Most decorated player in Colonial Athletic Association history with 11 all-conference honors
Ranks 3rd on the Colonial Athletic Association's career all-purpose yards list
Ranks 6th on the Colonial Athletic Association's career rushing yards list
Led the nation in all-purpose yards per game as a senior (228.18 yards per game)
Tyler Crist has proven to be an all-around fullback during his time in the 'Burg. [photo via tribeathletics.com]
Tyler Crist
Others deserving mention: Darnell Laws
Crist still has one season left with the Tribe, but he's already proven himself to be one of the most dynamic fullbacks that the Tribe has ever had. A three-year starter with the Green and Gold, Crist has earned All-CAA honors each of the three seasons he's played in the 'Burg.
Involved even more in the rushing attack this season, Crist has expanded his game beyond the "simple" blocking and tackling that fullbacks are typically assigned. And in his final season next year, we fully expect Crist to break beyond his three-time Third-Team All-CAA selection in his senior season.
The 6'3″ 255 pound Gottlieb provided a consistent target for William & Mary quarterbacks throughout his tenure with the Tribe. [photo via tribeathletics.com]
Alex Gottlieb
Others deserving mention: Andrew Caskin
Checking in at 6'3″ 255 pounds, Alex Gottlieb not only had the size to make it with the Tribe, but he also had the skill. Finishing his career as a two-time First-Team All-CAA selection, Gottlieb proved himself to be an incredibly reliable option for a talented Tribe team that captured the CAA title in 2010.
Going into his senior year, Gottlieb was a key offensive weapon on a William & Mary team that charged into the season ranked #1 in FCS preseason polls. Unfortunately for the Tribe, the season didn't turn out the way many had hoped, but Gottlieb still garnered First-Team honors while earning a shot with the Detroit Lions following graduation.
Tre McBride started for W&M as a true freshman, a rarely accomplished feat in and of itself during the Laycock era.
Tre McBride, DeVonte Dedmon
The top two receivers for the decade were not only great pass catchers, but they were also great return men. Perhaps that says something about what it takes to be a great receiver in today's game (read: incredible speed paired with unmatched athleticism) — as both Tre McBride and DeVonte Dedmon proved to be supremely talented players throughout their tenures with the Tribe.
Tre McBride was a a great all-around player; he had the size, speed, hands, and route-running ability to excel at short, medium, and deep routes. He also had the moxie to go up and get the ball, even when (especially when) covered. A 2015 East-West Shrine Game participant to go along with All-America honors and three All-CAA selections, he was also the CAA Special Teams Player of the Year as a kick returner. In all, McBride finished his W&M career ranked 2nd in career receptions at W&M (196), 5th fifth in receiving yards (2,653), 5th in all-purpose yards (4,281), tied for 6th in touchdown catches (19), 5th in kickoff return yards (1,294), and 3rd in 100-yard receiving games (eight).
Not to be outdone, DeVonte Dedmon (who came after McBride), rewrote the Tribe record books in his own right. The diminutive yet speedy Dedmon was a constant threat to blow the top off opposing defenses at any moment — which he often did. Dedmon finished his W&M career with six All-CAA honors, ranking tied for 4th all-time in touchdown catches (20), 5th in kick return yards (1,364), 6th in all-purpose yards (3,825), and 9th in receptions (152). He also ranks just outside the program's all-time top 10 in receiving yards (2,037).
At 6'7″, Jerry Ugokwe was a towering force throughout his CAA career. [photo via tribeathletics.com]
Tackle: Chris Durant, Jerry Ugokwe
Guard: Connor Hilland, Matt Crisafi
Center: Andrew Jones
Others deserving mention: James Pagliaro, Mark Williamson
With a combined weight of 1,495 pounds, employees at William & Mary's Caf had to work overtime to feed our list of all-decade Offensive Line starters. With that being said, one quickly understands a key tenant of success for any offensive line: size. But perhaps just as important, or even more important, for an offensive line is its unity; that's something that W&M's O-Line has been known for in years' past: leadership and unity.
Frequently throughout the decade, William & Mary's offensive line produced both team captains and all-conference players. Among the five starters listed above, the group earned All-CAA honors 10 times; after we crunch an incredibly complex formula, that comes out to an average of 2 All-Conference honors per starter. Moreover, of the five starters listed above, three were team captains (Connor Hilland, Matt Crisafi, Andrew Jones).
Multiple players from this list earned professional looks at the NFL level, and although none of them are currently playing professionally today, it's safe to say that the Tribe's offensive line was a big reason why W&M running backs experienced immense success running the ball over the last decade.
Mike Reilly was a high-motor guy whose 'never quit' attitude served the Tribe well throughout the years.
Mike Reilly, Marcus Hyde
As the last decade has seen an exponential rise in quarterback usage, the importance of the defensive end has risen in similarly proportionate fashion. Thankfully for the Tribe, the Green and Gold had some great defensive ends run through over the past decade — especially in Mike Reilly and Marcus Hyde.
A self-proclaimed gym rat, the 6'4″ 240 pound Mike Reilly truly had a motor that didn't stop; he was relentless in his pursuit of the opposing quarterback on each and every snap. The New Jersey-bred Reilly earned multiple All-America honors following his junior and senior seasons, and finished his career ranked 2nd on W&M's career sacks list (27). To add color to that statement, Reilly totaled 22.5 sacks during his final two seasons alone – the most ever by a Tribe player during a two-year stretch. In short, more than deserving of this spot on the all-decade team.
Coming just before Reilly and graduating in the earlier part of the decade, Marcus Hyde was another great at the defensive end spot for the Tribe. A two-time Second Team All-CAA selection, Hyde was also part of the William & Mary team that captured a CAA Championship in 2010. In one epic performance his senior season, Hyde was honored as the CAA Defensive Player of the Week after setting a single-game school and CAA Football Era record with five sacks, four of which coming in the first half alone, in a win against 6th-ranked New Hampshire. By the way, that sack total was just one shy of the NCAA record.
Bill Murray helped lead W&M to league high sack totals during his time with the Tribe. [photo via tribeathletics.com]
Bill Murray, Tyler Claytor
Others deserving mention: Isaiah Stephens
Remember when we said above that a key tenant of success for an offensive line is its size? Well, the same could be said for a team's defensive line, and especially for the defensive tackles who are routinely tasked with going up against behemoths on opposing offensive lines.
The two defensive tackles listed above, Murray and Claytor, combine for 575 pounds; we think it's safe to say that size is another key component for successful defensive lineman. Murray, who recently played out his senior season in 2019, finished his W&M career as a 2-time Second Team All-CAA selection. The 6'4″ 280 pounder proved himself to be a versatile big man, as he not only was able to stuff the run, but he was also able to get to the quarterback — as well as block kicks. In fact, Murray's 3 blocked kicks his senior season was good enough to rank #4 in the country.
Interestingly enough, Tyler Claytor began the tradition of Tribe defensive tackles blocking kicks, as his 4 blocked kicks during his 2015 senior season also tied for #4 in the country. Makes you wonder…what was in the water during these DT meetings in the 'Burg? Claytor would go on to finish his collegiate career by earning First Team All-CAA honors after a season that saw him lead the team in sacks (4.5) and tackles for loss (9.0).
A two-time team captain, Luke Rhodes was a consistently great linebacker for the Tribe. [photo via tribeathletics.com]
Luke Rhodes, Airek Green, Jabrel Mines
Akin to the offensive line, W&M's linebacker corps was stacked with talent throughout the 2010s; and again, just like the offensive line, this unit produced several captains. Perhaps most notably among them was Luke Rhodes.
After redshirting, Luke went on to start for four years at the middle linebacker spot. Most impressively, Rhodes was just 1 of 11 players in W&M program history (120+ years) to be selected as a two-time team captain. He garnered three First-Team All-CAA selections and finished his W&M career ranked 5th in school history with 341 tackles.
Opposite Rhodes at W&M was fellow linebacker Airek Green, a stud athlete at the outside linebacker spot. After a move from defensive back to linebacker his freshman year, Green tormented opposing offenses with his off-the-charts athleticism; a pure stat sheet stuffer, he finished his career as a two-time All-CAA selection after garnering over 200 career tackles, 7.5 sacks, and 6 interceptions.
The precursor to both Rhodes and Green was Jabrel Mines, who played during the first part of the decade, finishing his collegiate career in 2012. Mines ranked 4th, 2nd, and 1st on the team in total tackles during his final three seasons with the Tribe — including an eye popping 109 total tackles his junior season. That 109 mark is interestingly a higher single-season total than either Rhodes or Green ever accumulated in one season.
An athletic freak who was great at both safety and special teams, DHC made some unforgettable moments for fans in the 'Burg. [photo via tribeathletics.com]
DeAndre Houston-Carson, Jerome Couplin III
Others deserving mention: Brian Thompson
Over the decade, Jimmye Laycock had a knack for recruiting and developing talented safeties. Interestingly, both DeAndre Houston-Carson and Jerome Couplin III are currently playing professional football: DeAndre Houston-Carson with the NFL's Chicago Bears and Jerome Couplin III with the XFL's Los Angeles Wildcats. And it's well deserved.
DeAndre Houston-Carson, also known as "DHC," became just the third player in W&M football's 122-year history to earn consensus First-Team All-America honors. That same year (DHC's senior season), he was a team captain, leading W&M in tackles (109) and ranking first in the CAA in tackles per game among defensive backs (8.4). All of this was good enough to earn him an invitation to both the Senior Bowl and NFL Scouting Combine, which of course led to his gig with the Chicago Bears.
But it wasn't just DHC who earned AP First-Team All-America honors from the safety spot, as Jerome Couplin III also did it in 2013. That season, his senior year, Couplin III was a team captain; he finished with CAA First-Team honors, ranking 3rd in the conference with 9.1 tackles per game — a figure that ranked first among defensive backs in the CAA. That season he also finished with an incredible 113 total tackles.
B.W. Webb played well at the 2013 East West Shrine Game before being drafted in the 4th round by the Dallas Cowboys.

If Jonathan Grimes is the top offensive player of the decade, B.W. Webb might just be the program's top defensive player of the decade. Taken in the 4th round of the 2013 NFL Draft by the Dallas Cowboys, B.W. Webb proved his worth to "America's Team" throughout his time in the 'Burg.
Webb's coming out party was in 2009 as the Tribe knocked out in-state "rival" UVA; in that contest, redshirt freshman B.W. Webb finished with an incredible three interceptions. He would go on to complete his W&M career with an insane nine postseason all-conference honors. Not only was he a great corner (11 interceptions in 4 seasons), but he also was a great returner, earning 3 All-CAA honors as a punt returner.
Following Webb's path years later was both Trey Reed and Corey Parker. The diminutive Reed, listed at 5'8″ 160 pounds, was a team captain his senior year in 2016. But anything Trey "lacked" in size, he more than made up for in speed and athleticism; this was proven by the fact that Trey twice earned Second Team All-CAA honors, totaling 5 interceptions over his last two seasons.
Corey Parker is another interesting story. Parker played three years at safety before moving over to corner his senior season (2019). Of course, one could argue that he deserves to be treated as a safety, but Parker's highest All-CAA selection actually came in 2019, when he earned Second Team All-CAA honors playing at corner (after earning Third Team honors his sophomore and junior seasons at safety). In the 2019 season, Parker garnered 80 total tackles and 2 interceptions — proving to be a true all-around athlete that can excel at multiple positions.
A former Virginia Tech transfer, Hunter Windmuller wielded a powerful, game-changing leg for the Tribe.
Hunter Windmuller
Despite an injury-laden William & Mary career, the transfer punter from Virginia Tech posted career numbers in both his sophomore and junior years with the Tribe. During his junior year, Windmuller led the CAA in punting average (43.8 yards per punt) en route to earning a First Team All-CAA selection.
It may not be the sexiest position on the field, but there's absolutely nothing worse than having to punt the ball after a failed third down attempt, only for the ball to travel 30 yards in the air, back into the hands of your opponent. With Windmuller behind the long snapper, the Tribe always knew that it had a great chance to flip the field — and that's what we'll remember most about Windmuller's great talent.
John Carpenter was one of the most consistently accurate kickers for W&M in recent history.
As a sophomore in 2012, John Carpenter was well known as the Tribe's rugby style punter. But when Carpenter took over field goal kicking duties in 2013, there was no looking back. In that season, his junior year, Carp earned 3rd-Team All-CAA honors after leading the team in scoring with 72 total points. But he wasn't done yet. Far from it.
His senior year in 2014 would perhaps become the single greatest season for a place kicker in W&M history; that year, he was honored as the CAA Special Teams Player of the Year and chosen as a First Team All-CAA selection. He led the CAA and ranked 3rd nationally in made field goals per game (1.8). His CAA field goal percentage (78.3% on 17-of-23 kicking) and extra point percentage (100% on 24 attempts) also led the CAA.
Most impressively for us is how good a guy Carpenter is; his senior season, he matched with a cancer patient for a bone marrow transplant. Because the match happened during the season, Carpenter chose to forego the final two games of his collegiate career to help save a life. Again, a great kicker, but an even better person — and for that and more, Carpenter is a no-brainer selection for this all-decade team.
With a bevy of players to choose from, Grimes still stood out on top as the #1 returner of the decade.
Punt/Kick Returner
Others deserving mention: Tre McBride, DeVonte Dedmon, B.W. Webb, Bronson Yoder
We mentioned that Grimes is the player of the decade, right? Not only was he a great running back, but he also was an incredible punt/kick returner. In addition to finishing as W&M's all-time career rushing leader, Grimes also finished as W&M's all-time kickoff return yards leader (2,289); he was the CAA Special Teams Player of the Year two years in a row, in both his junior and senior seasons. This guy could do it all, and we're still amazed at his accomplishments to date.

SHE is one of the brightest junior female soccer prospects in Australia and on Sunday when lining up for the Western NSW Mariners FC, Anna Hunt showed why. With three minutes left in Sunday's National Premier Leagues 2 contest between her Mariners and Southern Branch and the scores locked at 1-all, it was Hunt who scored the winner. It made it three wins in a row for the Mariners. The Junior Matildas representative, who is set to play in the Asian Football Confederation under 16s Women's Championship this September, has now scored three times for the Mariners' first grade side. It comes as Hunt steps up from the under 15s Mariners outfit she scored 22 goals for last season. But Hunt is not the only young talent who has made her presence felt in the Mariners' senior ranks so far in 2019. There are a number of emerging players who have thus far gelled well with the more experienced Mariners. It has helped them into fourth on the ladder and importantly, coach Josh Ward is impressed with the brand of football they have been producing. "We do have a young squad, but the senior women in the side are guiding the way. The younger girls have plenty of enthusiasm and are always willing to improve their games," Ward said. "The group is really tight-knit and always supportive of one another. The area of the game that has really impressed me is the women's structure, adaptability to our opposition and resilience when the game is in the balance." While Ward felt his Mariners "should have been 4-0 up at half-time" in Sunday's match against Southern Branch at Nowra, the rivals went the the break locked at nil-all. Brydie Comiskey finally found the mark for Mariners, but a lapse in concentration saw Southern draw level. It took Hunt's 87th minute effort to get her side over the line. Though Ward said it is a "one game at a time" approach, he has set his playing group a goal for 2019. "We are not getting too far ahead of ourselves and know that there is still a long way to go in the season. Our season goal is to play finals football and be competitive in every game," he said.

Welcome to Rouse 1906! This website wants to serve as an online resource to preserve and share the common heritage of thousands families working in the Colorado coal fields at the turn of twentieth the century.
My great grandfather belonged to that community; he left his family in the small Tyrolean village of Tenna in December 1905 to get to Antwerp by train. He held a third class passage on the Red Star Zeeland to New York and nine days later he would have passed through the crowded gates of Ellis Island just to board yet another train and cross US to the small town of Walsenburg, Colorado, where a carriage car would have taken him to his final destination, an isolated mining camp 9 miles south. He worked for the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company deep in the coal mine of Rouse No 4 until 1908, when he traced back his steps, went home and built a stone house for his family.
My great grandfather story is a common one, "from the old world to make my fortune" wrote a distant cousin on his CF&I application card, and the hardships he faced were the same experienced by thousands of workers crossing the ocean for a better life. In Rouse only, the 1910 census records around 550 people living/working/growing up, 90% of which emigrants.
This project is ongoing and will meet its goal only with your contribute, so please check regularly the content and if one ancestor is listed here, or lived a similar experience, please share your story!
Thank you and enjoy the website.


I started at Netsmart in 1998 in a Customer/Technical Support position. When I started, my background wasn't Healthcare but engineering so this was a leap of faith for me.
Our EveryDayMatters Gnomes recently made a trip from Kansas City (where they were busy raising funds for EveryDayMatters via the "Give A Gnome a Home" fundraiser), to our Long Island, New York office. Once they made it to Long Island they connected with April, one of our awesome, QA Architects…and she was kind enough to take them on a New England adventure.
Day 1: The gnomes are having a wonderful vacation in NH. Tomorrow they will be going to Maine, so expect more fun pictures. For now, they are going to get some sleep, as little guys, they need a lot of rest.

The Fort Lauderdale Florida Temple is a temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) in Davie near Fort Lauderdale, Florida. It is the 143rd temple of the LDS Church.

History

The announcement that a temple would be built in south Florida was made by church president Thomas S. Monson on October 3, 2009, during the church's semi-annual general conference. The temple was announced concurrently with the Brigham City Utah, Concepción Chile, Fortaleza Brazil and Sapporo Japan temples. It is the second temple constructed in Florida and the first in the heavily populated southern part of the state. The state's other temple, in Orlando, was completed in 1994.

Subsequent to the announcement, a local church official indicated that the temple would likely be constructed somewhere in western Broward County rather than within the city of Fort Lauderdale itself. No specific location was disclosed.

Ground was broken on June 18, 2011. A public open house took place from March 29 to April 19, 2014. The temple was formally dedicated on May 4, 2014, by Dieter F. Uchtdorf of the church's First Presidency. The temple is designed to serve an estimated 25,000 church members in South Florida.

The temple was given a 2014 South-East Engineering Award for best built building.

In 2020, the Fort Lauderdale Florida Temple was closed in response to the coronavirus pandemic.

Australian media owners and journalists unite to call for laws to protect a free press
Posted on June 14, 2019 by Neil
Thanks AdNews.
Media owners have united in an open letter to Prime Minister Scott Morrison asking him to defend press freedom in Australia.
The "Journalism is not a Crime" letter was published in News Corp Australia newspapers, including The Australian, and Nine newspapers, including The Sydney Morning Herald.
The letter, also signed by some of the nation's most prominent journalists, including Karen Middleton, David Marr, Kathrine Murphy, Laurie Oaks and Malcolm Farr, calls for legislation to "recognise and enshrine a positive public interest protection for whistleblowers and for journalists"….

Not forgetting China 30 years on
Yesterday SBS Viceland showed the excellent PBS documentary Tiananmen: The People Vs. The Party. I found it thorough and utterly consistent with what I had been told or had read — much of both by people who had been there. But of course the expected is happening today:
Chinese authorities were bullshitting at the time, and they are bullshitting now. And I might add that a fair part of my cynicism about some on the hard Left dates back to a time in 1990 when a couple I knew who had visited the Square around a year after the event assured me that "nothing happened there" — rather hard to accept when at the time I was interacting daily with Chinese students some of whom really were there at the time, some of whom exhibited post-traumatic stress one way or another. See some of my earlier posts:
Twenty-five years is a very long time, though as many septuagenarians would understand, quarter-centuries aren't as long as they used to be. 1965- 1990 took, well, 25 years, but 1990-2015 has gone by in a matter of minutes! 😉
That was taken in winter 1990 on an excursion to Wollongong with my class of overseas adult students. The couple on the right are from Korea, as I think is the woman with the red bag – or is she Chinese? Blue umbrella is Zhang Rui from Tianjin in China (a scientist) and next to him another Chinese, Ding. The taller slightly older man is Bill Zhang from Guangzhou. Lovely man.
Bill and I in Hyde Park 1990. He had been photographing the grass so his wife in China could see this wonder: apparently at that time great dollops of lawn were in his eyes quite an exotic spectacle.
Why these students? As I noted in another post where there is indeed another story too:…
Here's a related memory:
I am glad I visited the garden, as I called in on Sam, who has the "dress up as a Chinese princess" concession in the garden, something he has been doing for fifteen years now. I first met Sam, who was once in the Beijing Opera, in 1990. I remember it well. I was in a coffee shop and Sam was serving. I was reading an illustrated book about the Tiananmen incidents of 1989. "I can tell you all about that," said Sam. "I was there." And indeed he was. It turns out Sam is giving up the "dress as a princess" business in April, and going into something new. He's over fifty years old now too. How time flies!
Some time in 1990 or 1991 I took Sam (and M and a guy from Tianjin, a scientist, called Rui) to SBHS to talk in a history class that was studying China. Sam rather stole the show when he told the students how his father, also in the Beijing Opera, had been beaten to death by Red Guards during the Cultural Revolution. Kind of brought Chinese History to life, that did.
With my class at Wessex, probably late in 1990. Japanese, Korean, Indonesian, Chinese.
That publicity shot for last night's Foreign Correspondent shows people associated with the Australian Embassy in Beijing in 1989. The gist of what we saw is in this story: Tiananmen Square crisis station: the Australian embassy in 1989.
Jailed Nobel Peace Prize winner Liu Xiabo was offered asylum from Australia in 1989 but turned it down and went on to become China's most famous dissident.
Following his role in supporting student protesters in the run-up to the brutal crackdown that year, the literary critic turned philosopher and agitator would be imprisoned and tortured.
After the Olympics he was picked up again and this time given an 11-year sentence for "inciting subversion of state power". He won the peace prize from behind bars and it was awarded symbolically to an empty chair.
The Australian embassy in Beijing's cultural counsellor at the time, Nick Jose, had become a good friend of Liu Xiaobo in the run-up to the crackdown on June 3-4 when the People's Liberation Army opened fire on protestors to reclaim Tiananmen Square.
"I took him in my car from my flat to the embassy gates and I said 'Well this is it, we can drive in, the gates will open and the gates will close and you will have effectively sought asylum from Australia or you can go and find friends who live nearby', friends I also knew," Mr Jose said.
"He thought about it, he looked at me and said 'Thank you, but no', he would stay in China, he was Chinese, China was his country, China was his fate…
Nicholas Jose, Claire Roberts and M at M's Chinese New Year Party, Redfern, 2009
Tonight's Four Corners is a must see: Tremble and Obey. And here is a very relevant ABC story: Tiananmen Square massacre still remembered by Chinese soldier and witnesses 30 years on. Another perspective is John Simpson, The night the lights went out: what really happened in Tiananmen Square. "Thirty years on, the events that took place in Beijing remain misunderstood – and the Chinese government wants to keep it that way. " However, I do think Simpson is just a bit too clever in his article, and underestimates the significance of what so many of the students actually thought and did.
In depth and with an intimate knowledge shown of Chinese history and culture, see Tiananmen 1989 — Three Decades Behind China's Gate of Darkness — June Fourth, 1989-2019. One item there I read at the time I was preparing my own From Yellow Earth to Eucalypt: trans. Pang Bingjun 龐秉鈞, with John Minford, in Geremie Barmé and Linda Jaivin, eds, New Ghosts, Old Dreams: Chinese Rebel Voices, 1992, pp.106-107.
In the First Light of Dawn
Xi Xi
In the first grey light of dawn,
We curl into the air,
Trailing from the ground
Up into the open sky above the square.
Limp, leaden, dumdum-pocked
The corpses lie
Mashed into the concrete.
Suddenly weightless
We drift
Like balloons.
We hear the sound
Of your weeping.
Mother, I beg you
Not to look for us again in the square,
The wasteland, where
Crushed tents, banners, command posts,
Public address stations
Strew the ground.
Teachers, students, friends
Are all gone.
The acrid smoke of gunfire
Fades as
Thousands of lives
Turn to ash.
Tomorrow will be Environment Day —
A Sanitation Show is planned,
The square will be scrubbed
Nice and clean,
As if nothing ever happened.
We fell together,
Together we rise,
Joining once more our parted hands,
Holding our torches even higher.
A wound gapes
On one man's chest;
A tank tread
Furrows one man's brow.
But these wounds lie
On the body's husk;
We are beautiful beyond compare.
Nothing can hurt us now.
We will share
The city's splendour
With the stone beasts —
They, on their columns,
We, on the People's Monument —
Across the square.
Update 5 June:
ABC was excellent yesterday, specifically The Drum. Later that night ABC News carried an interview with Nicholas Jose. (You sound older, Nick!) (But don't we all!) See also Nicholas Jose, Tiananmen remains unfinished business for China, and for Australia.
When I published an account of my interaction with Liu Xiaobo in Chinese whispers in 1995, I felt I should not identify him by his full name. As one of the thinkers who best articulated the alternative China that many people envisaged in the late 1980s, Liu had played an important, courageous role in the events of 3–4 June 1989. I was with him when he made the fateful decision not to take refuge in the Australian embassy. That same night he was picked up while riding his bike along a nearby street and taken away. When he was released from detention 18 months later, he went on with his reasoned critique of the Chinese system, eventually authoring Charter 08, a call for reform, for which he was arrested again and heavily sentenced in 2009.
He was in prison when he was awarded the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize, which he dedicated to 'the Tiananmen martyrs', and in prison at the time of his cruel, state-sanctioned death in 2017, aged 61. His ashes were scattered at sea, preventing the site of his remains from becoming a shrine. It is hard to believe that one individual could so enrage the powerful Chinese Communist Party. It is hard to understand why China would destroy one of its best and brightest for advocating non-violent reform in legal and constitutional ways.

Legend! Bob Hawke 1929-2019
Posted on May 17, 2019 by Neil
Here I am holding one of Bob Hawke's enduring legacies.
And here is his last legacy, just last week:
Labor elder Bob Hawke has written an open letter to voters calling on them to vote for Bill Shorten and his team at Saturday's federal election.
"While Bill's political opponents argue his trade union background is a liability for a future prime minister, I consider it an asset, as it was for me," the former Labor prime minister writes.

Matthew Flinders rediscovered
Posted on January 30, 2019 by Neil
Recently we had this interesting story, as told here by London blogger Stephen Liddell.
Matthew Flinders
Over the weekend I had a fascinating conversation with my nephew Warren who lives in Cooktown. It can be summed up in a comment he wrote on a Facebook post by a grand-nephew in Adelaide, Mitchell, whom I have never actually met.
I don't know if you are aware or not, but you are a direct descendant of the Guringai nation through your father and directly descended from King Bungaree who circumnavigated Australia on the Investigator with Mathew Flinders and later again with Philip Parker King on the Mermaid. King Bungaree was the first individual to be called an Australian and the first Aboriginal person to be given a gorget. Your ancestral land extends from north head in Sydney to Lake Macquarie, south of Newcastle. The Prime Minister's residence is on our ancestral land. Our ancestors were the Broken Bay Clan. I have photos, birth and marriage records and blanket lists as well as other records all relating to our history and much more. Mate you are indigenous to this country.
See also my post How indigenous are you? and Warren's own 2006 version at Family stories 4 — A Guringai Family Story. In the weekend conversation Warren confirmed that Sophy Bungaree — Warren's direct ancestor on his mother's side — was the daughter of Bungaree, as stated here.
Do read Keith Vincent Smith, Bungaree. See also Bungaree was the first Australian to circumnavigate the continent, but he's less well known than Matthew Flinders. Circumnavigated Australia TWICE in fact, which Flinders never did — or of course, James Cook, despite the impression left recently by our Prime Minister.
Not detracting at all from the achievements of Flinders — or Cook. On Flinders see Flinders Memorial.
Another topic in my conversation with Warren concerned the earlier (1804) version of Flinders's famous map. This is the later version (1814):
See this 2004 news story The chart that put Australia on the map:
At 11.30am today in the Parkes Room of Parliament House, the Governor of NSW, Professor Marie Bashir, will present a chart to the president of the Legislative Council, Dr Meredith Burgmann. The chart is singularly plain: a simple, if meticulous, pen and ink rendition of the continent we call home.
Yet behind today's ceremony lies a fascinating tale of two men, separated by two centuries. The first is Matthew Flinders, the explorer and map-maker who died in 1814, aged just 40. The second is Bill Fairbanks, 66, a company secretary from Wahroonga. What the two share is obsession. Flinders – born in Lincolnshire on March 16, 1774 – was obsessed with becoming the first man to circumnavigate the continent (a mission he achieved on June 9, 1803 when his ship, Investigator, limped back into Sydney harbour).
As for Fairbanks, he is obsessed with reminding us that 2004 is the 200th anniversary of an emotional moment in our history, the first time the name "Australia" was ever used on a map….
Warren was at a presentation earlier in Canberra involving the Governor-General and three descendants of Flinders — great-great-great granddaughters Martha, Rachel and Susannah.
Just spoke to Warren by phone. He may be sending me pics of that occasion.
In the Herald story State Librarian Paul Brunton noted:
Flinders began drawing his chart in the middle of 1804 after being imprisoned by the French on Mauritius on his way home to Britain.
The Englishman had arrived on the island the previous December, and had been promptly arrested as a spy. He spent the next 6 years detained on Mauritius, despite his eagerness to get back to London to share his discoveries with the world.
By August 1804, Flinders had completed his chart, the first time the continent that had been named New Holland or Terra Australis had ever been accurately depicted. Perhaps even more symbolically, he had clearly labelled his chart "Australia or Terra Australis" – the first time, literally, Australia had been put on the map.
Yet despite its emotional significance, says Brunton, the 1804 map has never achieved the public acclaim it deserves….

Ever since you started skiing you have been encouraged to keep your weight on the downhill ski. Now for the first time (officially) you are going to ski on your uphill ski. Try these two exercises to give you an idea of what it feels like:.
1) Choose an easy gradient and traverse across it slowly, skis flat, with weight on the lower ski. Transfer the weight to the upper ski, but keep the lower one on the ground. Don't overdo it unless you want to sit down. Tool around for a bit. Try to keep the skis moving forward with no side slipping.2) Try it on a steeper slope where you can use the edges with some angulation.
You will of course be edging with the outside edge of the upper ski. You will be climbing up the slope with steps of about 6" each time.When you are bored with this, get going on a fast traverse, angulating over the lower ski, take a step up onto your uphill ski, and as you do so, project your upper body exactly the same way as you have done before, up and forwards towards the fall line, keeping your weight on the uphill ski. As the skis come round to the fall line the uphill ski becomes the downhill ski, and changes from one edge to the other. As soon as the ski has changed from one edge to the other you begin to apply pressure on the front of it with angulation.The step up accelerates you into the turn by reducing any braking side slip on the lower ski at the start of the turn (see 'contre virage').
It is used significantly by giant slalom racers to gain height on a course, and a variation is used by slalom skiers for the same purpose. You too can use it to gain height when you are traversing round a mountain, and you realise you have to climb as well as going forwards, to reach that restaurant for lunch.You will notice that stopping after doing several of these high speed turns is an art in itself. It is safer to convert to a few short turns, which applies the brakes slowly, before coming to a stop. Going straight into a standard christie stop from 40 mph with your head and shoulders almost touching the ground, and a fountain of snow spraying skywards, is asking for trouble.
CONTRE VIRAGE - TAIL SLIDE.Contre Virage (literally from the French 'against the turn') is a good one for the bar at the day's end, but is a simple enough manoeuvre. All it involves is bringing your downhill hand up and towards your chest in a short arc! If you are going fast enough the back of the skis will slide round. This can have a useful braking effect as the skis are coming round against the fall line, and with angulation can have quite a dramatic result. You can also use it to initiate an edge set prior to breaking into short turns at the end of these long fast turns you are doing.
How does it work? Once again it's your natural torsion at work again. When you bring your arm up, your shoulder twists round a bit, followed by the muscles down your side, your thigh, your lower leg, your heel, and low and behold the tail of your ski. You may remember that you can achieve the same kind of tail slide by the rapid drop of your upper body in the short turns. The result is the same, but they are different methods for different turns. Contre Virage depends on steering while the rapid drop depends on unweighting.
If you are unsure of the differnces between unweighting the skis and steering the skis in order to turn them, check out the article entitled 'How Turns are Made'.

"Theoretical sciences are some of the most powerful tools for understanding the world better."
"I know full well that fundamental research remains essential for industry. The power of the models designed by theorists regularly results in significant technological leaps. IHES is one of the few places in the world to offer the scientific community the environment in which research – necessarily free and curiosity-driven – can flourish. We should preserve this model and support its development.
The scientific method is driven by a desire to push the boundaries of knowledge, which is also a desire for independence and freedom – two of IHÉS' core values. As well as the decisive part it plays in most technological innovations and its impact on economic players, basic research contributes to deep, universal thinking. Whether solving the mysteries of black holes or of morphogenesis, theoretical sciences are some of the most powerful tools for understanding the world better.
IHES is more than ever determined to fully play its part within the scientific ecosystem, by offering exceptional scientists a place where their research can flourish. Supporting the IHES model for the benefit of the entire scientific community is essential."
Marwan Lahoud, Chairman of the IHES Board of Directors
IHES is managed by a Board of Directors, comprising a maximum of 18 members. Its membership consists of representatives of the State (the French Ministry of Research and CNRS), founder representatives and individual members.
The Board of Directors meets twice a year:
– Spring session: scientific presentation, presentation and approval of the previous financial year's accounts, presentation of the revised budget for the current financial year and presentation of various projects concerning the Institute;
– Autumn session: budget monitoring, approval of the following year's budget, presentation of the various events which have taken place over the year.

The Scientific Council has the prerogative of planning the Institute's scientific work at its twice-yearly meetings. It comprises ex-officio members (the director, the permanent professors, the Léon Motchane professor) and external members who are co-opted for three-year mandates. CNRS Research Directors at IHES and the holder of the Université de Cergy-Pontoise – IHES Analysis Chair are also invited to take part in discussions. The Scientific Council is responsible for recruiting permanent professors, as well as selecting invited researchers and organising the programme of scientific events.
The Scientific Council meets every year in June and December to select future visitors and to debate the Institute's scientific policy. Together with CNRS and CEA Research Directors at IHES and the holder of the Université de Cergy-Pontoise – IHES Analysis Chair, they select visitors on the basis of excellence alone and ensure that a balance is maintained between theoretical physics and mathematics.

The American Farm Bureau Federation announced today the acquisition of Cygnus Business Media's agricultural events and publications. The purchase includes five IDEAg branded farm shows - Amarillo Farm and Ranch Show, Minnesota Farmfest, Dakotafest, Northern Illinois Farm Show and the IDEAg Interconnectivity Conference. The business also publishes Feed & Grain Magazine and Case IH's Farm Forum magazine.
The events and publications will operate as part of IDEAg Group, LLC, which is wholly owned by the American Farm Bureau Federation. All of the current managers and staff of the events and publications agreed to continue in their positions.
Minnesota Farmfest, held in Redwood County, Minn., is one of the largest agricultural events in the world.
Dakotafest, held in Mitchell, S.D., is the premiere agricultural event in South Dakota and attracts attendees from the entire Northern Plains region.
Amarillo Farm and Ranch Show has been the essential ag show for High Plains farmers and ranchers for 28 years.
The Northern Illinois Farm Show in DeKalb, Ill., has attracted farmers and ranchers from throughout the Midwest for 31 years.
Launched in 2012, the IDEAg Interconnectivity Conference is held in Altoona, Iowa.
Feed & Grain Magazine is the leading publication and digital news service for the grain processing industry, with almost 16,000 subscribers.
Farm Forum is a magazine published on behalf of Case IH and Case IH dealers.


1. Create a title or cover page which convey the area and scope of the project and followed by a table of contents and an abstract.
2. In the introduction section, you should talk about the project and other relevant details. The broad objectives of the project should be mentioned after the introductions, following which the hypotheses that are to be evaluated in the study are mentioned.
3. Tell the reader about the research behind the project in a Background section, if too extensive to include in the introduction section.
4. In the method or procedure section, you should describe the methods you used during the project to accomplish the stated objectives with the past tense.
5. In the result section, you should show the results of the project. Depending on your reader and what your project entailed, you may want to discuss the results by explaining what they show, analyzing uncertainties, noting trends, comparing the results with known theories or with the expected results, evaluating limitations of the project, detailing the possibilities of faulty interpretation or simply discussing assumptions about the results.
6. In the conclusion section, you should summarize, once again, the project report's content based on analyzed data and suggest the implications of the project's results.
7. In the recommendation section, you should propose suggestions based on the conclusions outlined earlier. Describe actions you think should be taken because of the project's results or additional work that you think is needed to gain more knowledge about the subject.
8. In the final section, you should include references and appendices such as charts, graphs, photos or additional information. A list of references you used will help develop your project and/or that you referred to in the body of your report.
One final suggestion is to avoid using too much of technical jargon. The information derived from the research is of due importance to marketing executive, who might utilize it while taking decisions on behalf of the company. Thus the project report must be easy to understand and must not encompass too much of technical phases. Complexities created by technical jargons might act as a hindrance while treating the outcomes of statistical evaluation, as the chances of very few understanding it is very high.

5 years ago I stepped from writing to spinning. 5 years later I realize that writing and history is my core and the spinning is for those that need that outward validation. ——————————————————- I'm thankful for those that have been truly supportive of this journey and wiser to stay out of the fray. The world moves on but thankfully the music still plays if you want it to.
Hello there, Merry Christmas how've you been? It's so good to talk to you again. I know I haven't posted or said much since the last DJ gig I did. I'm honestly stating that right now I'm on a live DJing/creating mix hiatus for winter 2020 and possibly beyond. If you've followed or known me for long, you know that I see DJing as community building. It can oft be that, and it oft can be about finding out who's a Scrooge. With Christmas here, I wanted to reminisce about the community I've found. Nearly 10 years ago me, @kellerjens and @foreverhamilton created this playlist joking around on a Facebook thread. All of these years later it's the one thing that puts me in the mood. I hope it does for you too ❤ . . . . #mixcloud #playlist #geewhizitschristmas #myfavoritethings #playingfavorites #top40 #soulmusic #legendsofsoul #instagay #instaqueer #nowplaying #merrychristmas #thesupremes #happyholidays #kimweston #dellareese #queermusichistorian

We mostly mourn @tumblr as a place where we could endlessly favorite amateur porn but, it serves a pretty significant platform for me and my love of soul music. ——————————————— 10 years ago today I uploaded the first MP3 and slowly started writing about the music that I loved. The fact that at the time it was pretty easy to do so, and microblog about said music was a revolution for me at least. I went on to post somewhere around 2,200 songs (for doing so daily) for a period of around 5 years before Tumblr changed their copyright style and you had to use a Spotify function to post music to the platform. That was around the same time I started live Vinyl DJing and ended up creating this persona, that admittedly I've had less time and energy to commit to lately. ———————————————— I thought that I would have my 100th and final mix for @Mixcloud ready to close out this decade of music blogging prepared by today, but in all honesty I've been spread pretty thin by actually earning money in late stage capitalism this Fall that my passions that don't pay regularly have taken a back seat. It'll still happen before the end of this year, and I might be putting it out that a sponsored podcast is in the future for the next decade.

Here we are, winding down the mixes and the decade that brought them to life. For the penultimate mix in the old format, we're gonna go with voices that have brought me the most joy over the years. In our current world, people aren't really allowed to 'play favorites.' I'm sorry. But not. I do. If it weren't for these for these voices included here, I wouldn't have been inspired to share this wonderful music in the first place. It's been a decade of learning and reflecting on art being the primary teacher of how I connect with the world around me. Be it people, place or time, a tune and an image really ground me to where I am, where I've been and where I'm going.

Robert Spaemann: Pope Francis Defends Catholic Tradition and Orthodoxy
Philosopher Robert Spaemann pins great hopes on the new Pope, criticized "modernists" in the church and welcomed people leaving the church, who reject the Catholic doctrine
Berlin (kath.net) The well-known philosopher Robert Spaemann has warned in a recent interview with the "Junge Freiheit" of an impending church revolt and a split from Rome that is reminiscent of the historic anti-Roman affect which recalls the dualism of the Emperor and the Pope. "The secularization trend is worldwide, but where there is such a thing as the Central Committee of German Catholics, which is financed from church taxes? Fact is that in a Curia Bishop or private secretary of Pope hardly has the chance that a German cathedral would accept him as diocesan bishop" says Spaemann. For him it is also clear that the de-Catholicisation is a result of de-Christianization and that Protestantism will erode faster.
Surprising the process was not. The philosopher remembered this referring to the letter to Timothy, in which the "great apostasy" was the speech and of times when the people will not endure sound doctrine. "The people want a 'Wellness' religion." But, as CS Lewis says, if the question is, which religion is the most pleasant, he would not recommend Christianity. And he adds, that can be accomplished 'also a by bottle of port,'" says Spaemann.
Secession from Rome is still nothing better than an evaporation of Christianity. He himself, however, considers that "gradual erosion" is more likely, as a schism will probably be prevented by the church tax system. "The "modernists" in the Church who have already left are specifically continuing in the way of the Evangelical Church (Protestant Church in Germany). Because there you can find almost all of their demands fulfilled already. But they do not want to leave," said Spaemann. The reason is that we would not even now like to leave the fleshpots of Egypt. "More precisely, these groups represent in the Catholic Church which is something that they could no longer represent if they were Protestant and they benefit from the church tax, since they are funded by the official Church. '." He personally welcome the release of people who reject the Catholic doctrine and can have nothing to do with the Catholic Church.
The Catholic philosopher criticized then the usual "Liberal reform agenda". In this, the issue of the Christian faith, doesn't even enter into it. Instead, it is about sexuality, "gender", ecumenism, democratization etc. "It may not be a trivial question, but it certainly is not the last question." Who talks about these, must be bored by most of the demands for reform. So it is with the questions of the relationship with God, to intellect, salvation, hope, salvation, eternal life, eternal death." A Catholic liberalism doesn't attract the intellect, though he find pertinent applause. "Martin Mosebach writes that in his youth, in the society of his parents, a reform of the Liturgy of the Mass - the abolition of the Latin, etc. -. seemed absolutely imperative. But then there was no longer a reason to go to Mass," said the philosopher. Reform of the Church had to be spiritual in nature. It must lead you to be more needful of it.
Robert Spaemann declared at the end of the interview that he also had high hopes for the new Pope Francis. Spaemann writes to the "Junge Freiheit" in his own words: "On the one hand is a pope in the footsteps of St. Francis of Assisi, who cares so particularly about nature and the poor and at the same time defends the Catholic tradition and orthodoxy, it is not as easy to disparage as "reactionary", as was the case with the thinker Benedict XVI. unfortunately.
Incidentally, the "Cardinal of the poor", as he was called in Buenos Aires, was no friend at all the so-called Liberation Theology. And: It is perhaps little known that St. Francis in his Testament, the priests of the Church are ranged higher than the angels, which requires unconditional respect for them, as well as the greatest treasure being the place where the Eucharist is kept. From the shift to the poor a revival of spiritual perspective can be made, the perspective that is directed towards eternal life. "

Let us Pray and be hopeful that What Robert Spaemann says comes true for the Greater Glory of God and for our Salvation.Quite and encouraging piece of information. Deo Gratias.
There is nothing traditional about Francis. This sort of nonsense is more dangerous to the Faith than the man himself to those who are weak in knowledge and their willingness to fight for what is Catholic and true.
OMG , FRancis has been ruling for a only few days and some traditionalists are judging him harshly. I am 61 , and not about to utter one bad word about the new pope. Tradition includes sacred scripture, where Our Lord warns about judging uncharitably.
