Author : Robert McKim
Description: This volume is a response to the Pope's Laudato Si', giving an interdisciplinary overview of its impact on the environmental concerns of Catholics as well as other religious groups. Published in 2015, it is often seen as an "environmental" encyclical and in it the Pope urges us to face up to the crisis of climate change. He argues that all of us should prioritise taking better care of the Earth, our common home, while also attending to the plight of the poor. Written by an international and multidisciplinary team of leading scholars, the Pope's invitation to all people to begin a new dialog about these matters is considered from a variety of perspectives. There is discussion of the implications for immigration, population control, eating animals, and property ownership. Additionally, indigenous religious perspectives, development and environmental protection, and the implementation of the ideas of the encyclical in the Church are explored. Each chapter deals with the scriptural, theological, and philosophical underpinnings of the encyclical, as well as other central concepts such as interconnectedness, the role of practice, and what Pope Francis calls the "technocratic paradigm". This book expertly illuminates the relationship between Laudato Si' and environmental concerns. It will, therefore, be vital reading for anyone studying religion and the environment, environmental ethics, Catholic theology, and environmental thought.

Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
Description: This volume represents a collection of essays by emerging and well-established Catholic scholars on Laudato si', Pope Francis's encyclical on the environment. All contributors are connected with the Maryvale Institute in Birmingham, the only Vatican approved Higher Institute of Religious Sciences in the English-speaking world. When it appeared, Laudato si' was widely welcomed by many, and strongly criticised by others. All agreed that the encyclical was an important voice in the environmental debate. As this book suggests, however, Laudato si' is more than an encyclical on the environment: it is a thorough examination of the human condition in the early twenty-first century. Essays in this volume focus on the philosophical, textual, ecological, anthropological and theological aspects of Laudato si', place it in a specific history of ideas, and contemplate its meaning for the modern world. Laudato si' has been widely discussed in religious and secular circles alike, and this book will enhance the understanding of the text for both.

Description: This volume provides a comprehensive introduction to the spiritual, moral and practical themes of Pope Francis' encyclical Laudato Si'. Leading theologians, ethicists, scientists and economists provide accessible overviews of the encyclical's major teachings, the science it engages and the policies required to address the climate crisis. Chapters on the encyclical's theological and moral teachings situate them within the Christian tradition and papal teaching. Science and policy chapters, engaging the encyclical and provide introductions to the Fifth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The book provides a guide for those wishing to explore the issues raised by Laudato Si' but who lack the specialist knowledge required to know where to begin. Aimed at an undergraduate audience, this book provides a reliable introduction to the major themes of Laudato Si' such as: - a theology of Creation that embraces the insights of contemporary science - a renewed understanding of the human person in relationship to the rest of creation - a spiritual vision of love and responsibility for all creation - the necessary connection between Christian solidarity with the poor and concern for the environment - an introduction to the social encyclical tradition from which Laudato Si' both draws and develops

Author : Pope Francis
Publisher: Ignatius Press
Description: The earth is the common home of humanity. It is a gift from God. Yet man's abuse of freedom threatens that home. In his encyclicalPraise Be to You (Laudato Si'), Pope Francis challenges all people to praise God for his glorious creation and to work to safeguard her. The encyclical letter takes its name from St. Francis of Assisi's Canticle of the Creatures, which depicts creation as "a sister with whom we share our life and a beautiful mother who opens her arms to embrace us". "This sister", Pope Francis declares, "now cries out to us because of the harm we have inflicted on her by our irresponsible use and abuse of the goods with which God has endowed her". He calls for an "integral ecology" based on what Pope St John Paul called an "ecological conversion"—a moral transformation linking the proper response to God for the gift of his creation to concern for justice, especially for the poor. He challenges people to understand ecology in terms of the right ordering of the fundamental relationships of the human person: with God, oneself, other people, and the rest of creation. Francis examines such ecological concerns as pollution, waste, and what he calls "the throwaway culture". Climate, he insists, is a common good to be protected. He explores the proper use of natural resources and notions such as sustainability from a Judeo-Christian perspective. The loss of biodiversity due to human activities, decline in the quality of life for many people, global inequality of resources, as well as concerns over consumerism and excessive individualism also threaten the good order of creation, writes Pope Francis. While valuing technology and invnovation, he rejects efforts to repudiate the natural order, including the moral law inscribed in human nature or to rely simply on science to solve ecological problems. Moral and spiritual resources are crucial, including openness to God's purpose for the world. Expounding the biblical tradition regarding creation and redemption in Christ, Francis stresses man's subordination to God's plan and the universal communion of all creation. "Dominion", he maintains, means "responsible stewardship" rather than exploitation. He rejects treating creation as if it were "divine" and insists on the primacy of the human person in creation. He also explores the roots of the ecological crisis in man's abuse of technology, his self-centeredness, and the rise of practical relativism. Without rejecting political changes, he implores people to change their hearts and their ways of life. Popes Benedict XVI, St John Paul II, and Blessed Paul VI addressed key themes regarding stewardship of God's creation and justice in the world. But Pope Francis is the first to devote an entire encyclical to the subject.

Description: The complete text of Laudato Si', the landmark encyclical letter from Pope Francis that, as Time magazine reported, "rocked the international community" In the Encyclical on Climate Change and Inequality, the beloved Pope exhorts the world to combat environmental degradation and its impact on the poor. In a stirring, clarion call that is not merely aimed at Catholic readers but rather at a wide, lay audience, the Pope cites the overwhelming scientific evidence of climate change, and does not hesitate to detail how it is the result of a historic level of unequal distribution of wealth. It is, in short, as the New York Times labeled it, "An urgent call to action . . . intended to persuade followers around the world to change their behavior, in hopes of protecting a fragile planet." With an insightful and informative introduction by Harvard professor Naomi Oreskes, famed for her bestselling Merchants of Doubt: How a Handful of Scientists Obscured the Truth on Issues from Tobacco Smoke to Global Warming.

Description: Older people are dreamers too. The Argentine Pope, leader of over a billion people, shakes hands with a girl from Sweden who has mobilised millions of young people (and many less young). Their shared dream is a world in which there is greater brotherhood and solidarity, where architects and engineers have forgotten how to design walls because now they are only asked to build bridges. They want a world in which all human activity – concerning the environment, economics, society, culture and daily life – is directed towards the common good of all people on earth and justice between generations. In a nutshell, they want a world in which "integral ecology" is applied, a key concept in Laudato Si', Pope Francis' encyclical letter "on care for our common home". Knowing that not everyone has the time to read papal documents or UN reports, Luca Fiorani takes us through the key concepts in Laudato Si', recent outcomes of international negotiations on climate change and the latest scientific data on the health of our planet.

Description: Pope Francis' Laudato Si' is a game-changing document for the life of the Church and the ecological health of this planet. A Catholic vision is deficient if it does not include the earth and its life-forms. Loving one's neighbour must include loving the planetary neighbourhood in which all live. For its part, the 'integral ecology' on which the Pope insists must include the dimensions of mind and heart, science and art, faith and the whole spiritual life of culture. Here, the great theological themes animating the Catholic vision, play their part as ever-renewable resources: the Creator and the gift of creation,, the incarnation of the Word amongst us, the inexhaustible life of the Trinity itself, the Eucharist as communion with Christ in the here and now of earthly life, just as 'Sister Death' must be given her place for the sake of ecological and eschatological realism. Integral ecology and Catholic vision are two sides of the conversion of mind and heart necessary to promote the communion of life now, and in the world to come.

Description: Thomas Berry is one of the most eminent cultural historians of our time. Here he presents the culmination of his ideas and urges us to move from being a disrupting force on the Earth to a benign presence. This transition is the Great Work -- the most necessary and most ennobling work we will ever undertake. Berry's message is not one of doom but of hope. He reminds society of its function, particularly the universities and other educational institutions whose role is to guide students into an appreciation rather than an exploitation of the world around them. Berry is the leading spokesperson for the Earth, and his profound ecological insight illuminates the path we need to take in the realms of ethics, politics, economics, and education if both we and the planet are to survive.

Description: Die Enzyklika Laudato si' von Papst Franziskus mit ihren Impulsen für eine ökologisch-soziale, gerechte Entwicklung hat seit ihrem Erscheinen im Jahr 2015 eine breite internationale Debatte ausgelöst. Was ist das Entscheidende, das Revolutionäre, das Besondere an diesem Werk, das Ernst Ulrich von Weizsäcker als "Jahrhundertbuch" bezeichnet? Hierzu äußern sich im vorliegenden Band 24 Expertinnen und Experten aus der internationalen Wissenschaft, Politik, Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft in Interviews mit dem Laudato Si'-Projektteam von KU und VDW. Stellung, Potential und mögliche, wie auch konkrete Wirkungen der Enzyklika für eine Große Transformation hin zu mehr Nachhaltigkeit werden untersucht. Letztendlich wird der Frage nachgegangen, ob und inwiefern religiös-normative Ansätze Nachhaltigkeitstransformationen unterstützen und naturwissenschaftlich-rationale Herangehensweisen in diesem Bereich ergänzen können.

Description: Environment and Society connects the core themes of environmental studies to the urgent issues and debates of the twenty-first century. In an era marked by climate change, rapid urbanization, and resource scarcity, environmental studies has emerged as a crucial arena of study. Assembling canonical and contemporary texts, this volume presents a systematic survey of concepts and issues central to the environment in society, such as: social mobilization on behalf of environmental objectives; the relationships between human population, economic growth and stresses on the planet's natural resources; debates about the relative effects of collective and individual action; and unequal distribution of the social costs of environmental degradation. Organized around key themes, with each section featuring questions for debate and suggestions for further reading, the book introduces students to the history of environmental studies, and demonstrates how the field's interdisciplinary approach uniquely engages the essential issues of the present.

Description: This book offers an up-to-date examination of the nature and development of animal theology. It considers what animal theology is and how it challenges, and is challenged by, liberation and ecological theology. At the heart of the work is a critical engagement with the Brazilian ecotheologian Leonardo Boff. Clair Linzey addresses ideas that originate from the papal encyclical Laudato Si' and considers how Pope Francis is developing an animal friendly tradition within Catholicism. Exploring new vistas in animal theology, this volume makes a valuable to contribution to debates on how religion should be concerned with animals and the environment. This book is essential reading for anyone who wants to know the current state of debate with animal theology and its effects on the wider Christian community.

Author : Anthony Hollowell
Description: For nearly every important decision, we often receive the same advice: think for yourself. Such a statement assumes that rational thought is a type of "do-it-yourself project," that what a person thinks is derived from one's independent human existence. But there are some critical thinkers who challenge this assumption, showing the ways in which rational thought is molded and determined in forceful ways by various elements that lie outside the free choices of an individual. According to both Alexis de Tocqueville and Romano Guardini, structural elements within various cultures exhibit a distinct power over rational thought and dispose human persons to specific patterns of logic, and according to their evidence, what a person thinks is inextricably bound to their relationships. In this book, the social dimensions of rational thought can be more clearly seen, even by those conditioned to think that they can think for themselves.

Description: Faith-based Identity and Curriculum in Catholic Schools examines the relationship between faith-based education and whole curriculum at a time when neoliberal ideologies and market values are having a disproportionate influence on national education policies. Topics addressed include: current challenges and dilemmas faced by Catholic Education leadership; Catholic social teaching and its implications for whole curriculum; the opinions of teachers in Queensland Catholic schools regarding faith-based school identity with particular reference to whole curriculum; an associated comparison of these opinions teachers with those of their USA peers; school identity and Catholic social teaching in Ontario Catholic schools; an action research approach to the integration of Catholic social teaching in Queensland Catholic schools; longitudinal study of the views of pre-service teachers at a Catholic university regarding the purposes and characteristics of Catholic schools. Bringing together professionals and academics from across the world, Faith-based Identity and Curriculum in Catholic Schools will inspire Catholic and other faith-based educators to appreciate the importance and potential of the integration of faith-based perspectives such as countercultural Catholic social teaching across the school curriculum in an educationally appropriate manner.

Author : Harry Lehmann
Description: This book describes and analyses necessities for a more resource-efficient world. It discusses solutions for a more sustainable use of natural resources, addressing decision-makers and experts from the fields of policy development, industry, academia, civil society, and the media. The book presents strategies, concrete ways and examples of achieving more sustainable resource use in practice. Following on from two previous titles published on Factor X by the Umweltbundesamt (German Environment Agency), entitled "Factor X: Policy, Strategies and Instruments for a Sustainable Resource Use" (2013) and "Factor X: Re-source – Designing the Recycling Society" (2014), this book further investigates how savings in natural resources and resource efficiency improvements could be achieved, focusing on good practice examples that cover different resource categories, pursue different efficiency strategies and come from different sectors, e.g. innovative products or services, technology, man agement approaches, systemic approaches, etc. The background against which this work is done has a highly comprehensive span, from the first Declaration of the Factor X Club in the nineties, to the European Commission's Roadmap to a Resource Efficient Europe that was published in September 2011, through to the German Federal government's German Resource Efficiency Programme (ProgRess I and II) in 2012 and 2016, the G7 Alliance for Resource Efficiency, and most recently the development and implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).

Description: This edited book is a collection of essays presented at the 2nd annual Integrity of Creation Conference at Duquesne University, USA, and thus represents the 2nd Conference Proceedings of an annual endowed series. The title of this conference was "Protecting Our Common Home," adopted in the title of this volume. The concept of Integral Ecology conveys the indispensable inter-relation of topics, expertise, and specialties in the quest to protect the planet whose environment may face catastrophic threat. A leitmotif throughout the book is the ecological encyclical of Pope Francis called Laudato Si': On Care for our Common Home, published in 2015. Indeed, the title of the volume refers to the phrase "integral ecology" and the challenge to "protect our common home" in the encyclical. Although the inspiration for the title comes from a religious leader, the analysis engages both secular and religious perspectives on crucial issues that threaten the ecology of our planet. The sections of the book are divided into the context of the problem, environmental science, social science, religion and ethics, and advocacy.

Author : Bethany N. Sollereder
Description: After the publication of On the Origin of Species in 1859, theologians were faced with the dilemma of God creating through evolution. Suddenly, pain, suffering, untimely death and extinction appeared to be the very tools of creation, and not a result of the sin of humanity. Despite this paradigm shift, the question of non-human suffering has been largely overlooked within theodicy debates, overwhelmed by the extreme human suffering of the twentieth century. This book redresses this imbalance by offering a rigorous academic treatment of the questions surrounding God and the suffering of non-human animals. Combining theological, philosophical, and biblical perspectives, this book explores the relationship between God and Creation within Christian theology. First it dismantles the popular theological view that roots violence and suffering in the animal kingdom in the fall of humanity. Then, through an exploration of the nature of love, it affirms that there are multiple reasons to suggest that God and creation can both be "good", even with the presence of violence and suffering. This is an innovative exploration of an under-examined subject that encompasses issues of theology, science, morality and human-animal interactions. As such, it will be of keen interest to scholars and academics of religion and science, the philosophy of religion, theodicy, and biblical studies.

Description: "A magnificent book, bursting with profound spiritual insights, from a man who has quickly become one of the greatest spiritual teachers of our time." --James Martin, SJ, author of Jesus: A Pilgrimage In the year since he was elected, Pope Francis's simple message of mercy, service, and renewal has spread to every corner of the world. Through his gentle demeanor, selfless actions, and welcoming call for service to others, Pope Francis has captured the attention of a world longing for an authentic message of hope—we want to hear what he has to say. Collected from Pope Francis's speeches, homilies, and papers presented during the first year of his papacy, The Church of Mercy is the first Vatican-authorized book detailing his vision for the Catholic Church. From how to be citizens of the world to answering God's call for evangelization, Pope Francis's deep wisdom reminds us that the Church must move beyond its own walls and joyfully bring God's mercy wherever suffering, division, or injustice exists. Named TIME Magazine's 2013 "Person of the Year," Pope Francis is helping the Church continue toward an authentic Christianity that is faithful to the Gospel and resonant with the world's greatest needs. The Church of Mercy encourages each of us to ignite the flame within to help share the light of Christ and revitalize the Church.

Description: Le pape François lance, dans cette première encyclique entièrement de sa main, un appel à tous les hommes pour préserver la terre, notre « maison commune ». Sensible à « la grandeur, l'urgence et la beauté du défi qui se présente à nous », le pape interpelle les chefs d'Etat aussi bien que les simples citoyens pour délivrer un message fort non seulement sur l'environnement mais sur la place de l'homme au sein de la création. Donnant à l'écologie une résonance profondément humaine, sa réflexion nous tourne vers les liens qui unissent tous les hommes et nous invite à remettre l'économie et la politique, qu'elles soient internationales ou locales, au service de la personne humaine avec une attention toute particulière pour les plus pauvres. Un texte magistral sur notre responsabilité commune pour préserver la création et tous ceux qui l'habitent et continuer à nous en réjouir ensemble dans la lignée de Saint François d'Assise.

Publisher: Ave Maria Press
Description: "Spirituality & Practice 2016 Award Winner." For the first time, all five major writings of Pope Francis—his encyclicals, bulls, and apostolic exhortations—are gathered into one volume. Pope Francis—the 266th pontiff of the Roman Catholic Church—was elected on March 13, 2013. Since then, he has been the most influential religious leader in the world, drawing praise and admiration from people of all faiths. The impact of his writings has been felt not just in the Catholic Church for which they were intended but throughout the world. Each of the five works collected in The Complete Encyclicals, Bulls, and Apostolic Exhortations is a book unto itself, so this volume is one that can be cherished, read, and reread by all Catholics and devotees of Pope Francis for many years to come. Volume 1 includes: Lumen Fidei, June 29, 2013: The Light of Faith is an encyclical on the centrality of faith, the relationship between reason and faith, the Church's role in the transmission of faith, and how faith results in redeeming the world. Evangelii Gaudium, Nov. 24, 2013: The apostolic exhortation The Joy of the Gospel has been called Pope Francis's manifesto. It challenges all Christians to approach evangelization anew and overcome complacency in order to fulfill Christ's great mission. Misericordiae Vultus, April 11, 2015: In The Face of Mercy, the papal bull for the Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy in 2015, the pope urges Catholics, "We need constantly to contemplate the mystery of mercy." Laudato Si', May 24, 2015: Praise Be to You: On Care for Our Common Home is the landmark encyclical in which Pope Francis issued a call to the entire Church—and the world—on climate change, human responsibility, the role of faith in how we live among God's entire creation, and the future of the planet. Amoris laetitia, March 19, 2016: Love in the Family is an exhortation published after the Synods on the Family. In it, Pope Francis ranges in his quotations and examples from St. Thomas Aquinas and Martin Luther King Jr. to the film Babette's Feast.

Author : Pope Francis,Austen Ivereigh
Description: In this uplifting and practical book, written in collaboration with his biographer, Austen Ivereigh, the preeminent spiritual leader explains why we must—and how we can—make the world safer, fairer, and healthier for all people now. In the COVID crisis, the beloved shepherd of over one billion Catholics saw the cruelty and inequity of our society exposed more vividly than ever before. He also saw, in the resilience, generosity, and creativity of so many people, the means to rescue our society, our economy, and our planet. In direct, powerful prose, Pope Francis urges us not to let the pain be in vain. He begins Let Us Dream by exploring what this crisis can teach us about how to handle upheaval of any kind in our own lives and the world at large. With unprecedented candor, he reveals how three crises in his own life changed him dramatically for the better. By its very nature, he shows, crisis presents us with a choice: we make a grievous error if we try to return to some pre-crisis state. But if we have the courage to change, we can emerge from the crisis better than before. Francis then offers a brilliant, scathing critique of the systems and ideologies that conspired to produce the current crisis, from a global economy obsessed with profit and heedless of the people and environment it harms, to politicians who foment their people's fear and use it to increase their own power at their people's expense. He reminds us that Christians' first duty is to serve others, especially the poor and the marginalized, just as Jesus did. Finally, the Pope offers an inspiring and actionable blueprint for building a better world for all humanity by putting the poor and the planet at the heart of new thinking. For this plan, he draws not only on sacred sources, but on the latest findings from renowned scientists, economists, activists, and other thinkers. Yet rather than simply offer prescriptions, he shows how ordinary people acting together despite their differences can discover unforeseen possibilities. Along the way, he offers dozens of wise and surprising observations on the value of unconventional thinking, on why we must dramatically increase women's leadership in the Church and throughout society, on what he learned while scouring the streets of Buenos Aires with garbage-pickers, and much more. Let Us Dream is an epiphany, a call to arms, and a pleasure to read. It is Pope Francis at his most personal, profound and passionate. With this book and with open hearts, we can change the world.

Author : Dominic Arcamone
Description: The process of human transformation is complex and ongoing. This book presents a framework for understanding human transformation through the insights of Bernard Lonergan. The reader will be introduced to terms such as the turn to the subject, consciousness, subjectivity, and intersubjectivity. It will explore terms such as horizon, feelings, values, self-esteem, sublation, conversion, dialectic, and religious experience. The book explores transformation through the way mentors have authored their own lives, told their own stories, and taken possession of their interiority. Transformation is illustrated through the lives of saints and ordinary men and women who did extraordinary things, such as St. Augustine, Dag Hammarskjold, Vaclav Havel, Franz Jaggerstatter, St. Therese of Lisieux, Fredrich Nietzsche, Katherine Ann Power, and Marie Cardinal. Transformation is also illustrated through the medium of cinema: Babette's Feast, The Mission, As It is in Heaven, Romero, Dead Poets Society, Ordinary People, The Godfather trilogy, Three Color trilogy, The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Dial M for Murder, and Twelve Angry Men. While the book treats religious, moral, affective, intellectual, and psychic conversion as moments of transformation, it argues that ecological conversion requires all of these so as to meet the most serious moral challenge of our time.

Author : Celia Deane-Drummond,Rebecca Artinian-Kaiser
Description: The threat of ecological collapse is increasingly becoming a reality for the world's populations, both human and nonhuman; addressing this global challenge requires enormous cultural creativity and demands a diversity of perspectives, especially from the humanities. Theology and Ecology Across the Disciplines draws from a variety of academic disciplines and positions in order to explore the role and nature of environmental responsibility, especially where such themes intersect with religious or theological viewpoints. Covering disciplines such as history, philosophy, literature, politics, peace studies, economics, women's studies, and the ecological sciences as well as systematic and moral theology, the contributors emphasize how these positions have begun to develop distinct perspectives on urgent ecological issues, as well as pointing toward specific practices at the local and international level. This volume provides a multidisciplinary point of departure for urgent conversations on environmental responsibility that resist simplistic solutions. Rather, the contributors highlight the complex nature of modern ecology, and suggest creative ways forward in the situation of an apparently intractable global problem.

Author : Jacquineau Azétsop
Description: Pope Paul VI's notion of "integral human development," which was endorsed by his successors including Pope Francis, broke with the modern project of purely economic and technological development, resulting in an original understanding of development. Like a conventional notion of development, this theoretical construct favors economic growth, technological innovation, and the implementation of social programs. However, development is not just a socioeconomic and political issue, let alone a technical one; it raises, fundamentally, theological questions and points to important ethical challenges. Hence, integral human development is a vocation at which all personal, social, and political activity must be directed. As such, it is not a social but an anthropological program. Far from being a secular development theory, the notion of "integral human development" emphasizes the religious goal of reconciling humanity and God through the creation of a human family over and above material social and economic issues. Sustained by global principle and shaped by different cultural views, this book brings forth the uniqueness of this approach to development, examines its contribution to human welfare, and anticipates the resistances it may face.

Description: This book examines the expanding world of genres on the Internet to understand issues of science communication today. The book explores how some traditional print genres have become digital, how some genres have evolved into new digital hybrids, and how and why new genres have emerged and are emerging in response to new rhetorical exigences and communicative demands. Because social actions are in constant change and, ensuing from this, genres evolve faster than ever, it is important to gain insight into the interrelations between old genres and new genres and the processes underpinning the construction of new genre sets, chains and assemblages for communicating scientific research to both expert and diversified audiences. In examining scientific genres on the Internet this book seeks to illustrate the increasing diversification of genre ecologies and their underlying social, disciplinary and individual agendas.

Description: The voice of Francis J Moloney, SDB, has been heard in New Testament studies for many decades. Internationally famous for his work on the Gospel of John, this volume gathers studies that demonstrate the breadth and richness of his interests, beyond that well-established enterprise. The first part of the boom is dedicated to Gospel studies, with the majority of essays focussing upon the Gospel of Mark. They reflect his long interest and his major commentary on that Gospel (2012). Studies on Matthew, Luke and John complete these reflections.

Genre: Social Science
Description: Liberación, un balance histórico bajo el influjo de Aparecida y Laudato si'. El aporte latinoamericano de Francisco, constituye un esfuerzo por acompañar la trayectoria de la liberación latinoamericana –desde la mitad del siglo pasado hasta sus últimos desdoblamientos en las primeras décadas del nuevo milenio–, y para ello se escudriñan diferentes aspectos referidos al caminar de la Iglesia de los pobres y la(s) teología(s) de la liberación. A partir de ese marco histórico, teórico y metodológico, al examinar el influjo de la V Conferencia General del Episcopado Latinoamericano, celebrada en la ciudad de Aparecida (2007), en Brasil, y de la carta encíclica Laudato si' (2015), sobre el cuidado de la 'casa común', resalta las particularidades y el aporte e impacto creciente del pontificado de Francisco, el primer latinoamericano en ocupar el solio de Pedro. Vale la pena señalar que, en este caso, el verbo aportar, por su carácter transitivo –significa tanto llevar como traer– adquiere una especial importancia. Por un lado, permite señalar que el Papa latinoamericano lleva a la Iglesia universal una experiencia eclesial que, en consonancia con el Concilio Vaticano II –sin dejar de enfrentar no pocos desafíos y sufrir reprimendas–, maduró, gradualmente, una vivencia teologal y teológica en constante discernimiento sinodal y a partir de los pobres. Por otro lado, hace notar que el sucesor de Pedro, como pastor de la Iglesia universal, al radicalizar estas opciones, trae a la Iglesia latinoamericana perspectivas evangelizadoras que aportan una nueva luz a su trayectoria liberadora, junto con la exigencia de avanzar en este camino. Nada más ni nada menos que una Iglesia pobre para los pobres.

Author : Kenneth R. Himes, OFM
Publisher: Georgetown University Press
Description: Including contributions from twenty-two leading moral theologians, this volume is the most thorough assessment of modern Roman Catholic social teaching available. In addition to interrogations of the major documents, it provides insight into the biblical and philosophical foundations of Catholic social teaching, addresses the doctrinal issues that arise in such a context, and explores the social thought leading up to the "modern" era, which is generally accepted as beginning in 1891 with the publication of Pope Leo XIII's Rerum Novarum. The book also includes a review of how Catholic social teaching has been received in the United States and offers an informed look at the shortcomings and questions that future generations must address. This second edition includes revised and updated essays as well as two new commentaries: one on Pope Benedict XVI's encyclical Caritas in Veritate and one on Pope Francis's encyclical Laudato Si'. An outstanding reference work for anyone interested in studying and understanding the key documents that make up the central corpus of modern Catholic social teaching.

Author : Francis Etheredge
Genre: Philosophy
Description: What emerges in this second book of the trilogy is that the very "ground" and content of experience is richer than what can be reduced to a particular account of it. As such, dialogue develops from the "natural" diversity of what is "of" faith and what is "of" reason. Neither faith nor reason, however, originates "from" experience; rather, both are "witnessed" in experience. In other words, taking up questions about the nature of man, whether philosophically, psychologically or in terms of social structures, manifests both a variety of points of departure and, at the same time, the manifold conversations that are possible in the "field of culture".Focusing particularly on the work of St. John Paul II, the first essay examines the answer of reason and the answer of faith to the same question: What is man? Conversion, too, entails an "unexpected" relationship to natural truth, which, in its own way, is both adequate and inadequate to salvation. Communication, as it were, runs throughout these essays; however, in particular, there is a need to enrich our human understanding of the process of "coming to ourselves" with the insights of spiritual discernment. Axiomatically, however, it is possible to say that just as we come to exist through a relationship to others, so our healing and holiness are manifest through our relationship to others in the "Other". Furthermore, while it is ultimately true that we exist as individually rooted in the social structure of our origin and the times in which we live, we need to critically participate in the dialogue which identifies our common "reality" and not live our lives covered in "psycho-social" labels of one kind or another.As a whole, then, there is an incomparable range and depth to "dialogue". Indeed, given the many critical situations in the world, it is increasingly indispensable and essential that humanity choose the incredible wealth of dialogue in contrast to the possibility of a "polarised" and "conflictual" structure between people and peoples.

Description: A collection of homilies, speeches, and "messages of the day" that brings together Pope Francis's wisdom on finding happiness in the here and now For Pope Francis, the appreciation of our everyday lives is a spiritual undertaking. Joy is a divine attribute, and creating joy around us an essential part of faith. Every homily and speech in this book delivers, in warm, engaging language accessible to believers and nonbelievers alike, a key lesson, instructing readers on finding love and happiness in a chaotic world. Along the way, Pope Francis discusses the sanctity of women's rights, talks about how the love of sports can bring out our best qualities, and explains why fighting discrimination is the essence of loving thy neighbor. He shares personal stories and anecdotes from his life, provides comforting messages of hope, and discusses the ways flawed families can make you a better person. The core ideas of Francis's papacy—mercy, support for marginalized people, and diplomacy—shine through. Praise for Happines in This Life "Though the title of the book mentions happiness, this collection of thoughts addresses something much deeper—joy. Bringing together excerpts from Pope Francis's sermons, speeches, prayers, and addresses, these pieces address a range of themes, from mercy and humility to simplicity and family. . . . Readers will be encouraged to clear away the cacophony of modern society and embrace the simplicity of joy. A book as loving and encouraging as the man himself seems to be."—Booklist "With this wide-ranging collection of writings, homilies, and addresses, the current pontiff dispels any notion that religious practice is dour and antiquated. . . . It brings together the pope's most affecting passages to inspire Catholics (and those of other faiths) to lift up those around them."—Publishers Weekly "Reminiscent of the gentle encouragement of the Dalai Lama . . . Family-centered and practical—especially on difficult matters of familial contention—these homilies are, on the whole, gentle encouragements to do the right thing. . . . [This] collection offers clear insight into the pope's doctrinal concerns."—Kirkus Reviews

When applying to join Geeks with Blogs I had to specify the development tools I use every day. That got me thinking, it's taken a long time to whittle my tools of choice down to the selection I use, so it might be worth sharing.
Before I begin, I appreciate we all have our preferred development tools, but these are the ones that work for me.
Microsoft Visual Studio has been my development tool of choice for more years than I care to remember. I first used this when it was Visual C++ 1.5 (hats off to those who started on 1.0) and by 2.2 it had everything I needed from a C++ IDE. Versions 4 and 5 followed and if I had to guess I would expect more Windows applications are written in VC++ 6 and VB6 than any other language.
Then came the not so great versions Visual Studio .Net 2002 (7.0) and 2003 (7.1). If I'm honest I was still using v6. 2005 was better and 2008 was simply brilliant. Everything worked, the compiler was super fast and I was happy again...then came 2010...oh dear.
2010 is a big step backwards for me. It's not encouraging for my upcoming WPF exploits that 2010 is fronted in WPF technology, with the forever growing Find/Replace dialog, the issues with C++ intellisense, and the buggy debugger. That said it is still my tool of choice but I hope they sort the issue in SP1.
I've tried other IDEs like Visual Age and Eclipse, but for me Visual Studio is the best. A really great tool.
XML development is a tricky business. The W3C standards are often difficult to get to the bottom of so it's great to have a graphical tool to help. I first used Liquid Technologies 5 or 6 years back when I needed to process XML data in C++. Their excellent XML Data Binding tool has an easy to use Wizard UI (as compared to Castor or JAXB command line tools) and allows you to generate code from an XML Schema. So instead of having to deal with untyped nodes like with a DOM parser, instead you get an Object Model providing a custom API in C++, C#, VB etc.
More recently they developed a graphical XML IDE with XML Editor, XSLT, XQuery debugger and other XML tools. So now I can develop an XML Schema graphically, click a button to generate a Sample XML document, and click another button to run the Wizard to generate code including a Sample Application that will then load my Sample XML document into the generated object model.
This is a very cool toolset.
Note: XML Data Binding is nothing to do with WPF Data Binding, but I hope to cover both in more detail another time.
Note: I've just noticed that starting form the end of February 2011 this will no longer be a free tool !!
.Net Reflector turns .Net byte code back into C# source code. But how can it work this magic? Well the clue is in the name, it uses reflection to inspect a compiled .Net assembly. The assembly is compiled to byte code, it doesn't get compiled to native machine code until its needed using a just-in-time (JIT) compiler. The byte code still has all of the information needed to see classes, variables, methods and properties, so reflector gathers this information and puts it in a handy tree.
I have used .Net Reflector for years in order to understand what the .Net Framework is doing as it sometimes has undocumented, quirky features. This really has been invaluable in certain instances and I cannot praise enough kudos on the original developer Lutz Roeder.
In order to stop nosy geeks looking at our code using a tool like .Net Reflector, we need to obfuscate (mess up) the byte code. Smart Assembly is a tool that does this. Again I have used this for a long time. It is very quick and easy to use.
Coincidentally, .Net Reflector and Smart Assembly are now both owned by Red Gate. Again kudos goes to the original developer Jean-Sebastien Lange.
SVN (Apache Subversion) is a Source Control System developed as an open source project. TortoiseSVN is a graphical UI wrapper over SVN that hooks into Windows Explorer to enable files to be Updated, Committed, Merged etc. from the right click menu.
This is an essential tool for keeping my hard work safe! Many years ago I used Microsoft Source Safe and I disliked CVS type systems. But TortoiseSVN is simply the best source control tool I have ever used.
So there you have it, my top 5 development tools that I use (nearly) every day and have helped to make my working life a little easier. I'm sure there are other great tools that I wish I used but have never heard of, but if you have not used any of the above, I would suggest you check them out as they are all very, very cool products.


Converting your old full page dynamic website to a SPA is straight forward. Outlined below is the conversion process. For the conversion of static websites, go to the Static App Tutorial menu item above.
Classic dynamic websites render full pages of HTML markup with dynamic data integrated into the layout. This means that every time a navigation is made the entire page is refreshed. The most common server side frameworks doing this in the industry today are PHP, Struts, Spring MVC, and JSF.
The great thing about an HTML injection SPA framework, like WebRocketX, is that none of your delivery mechanisms on the server have to change. You can continue to use your server side frameworks, but you can greatly simplify the code they are running, as well as reduce the number and size of the trips made to the server. Many of the pages on the server will be broken into smaller stand alone units, and most of the file includes needed to pull in elements, repeated across pages, will be eliminated. Fewer controller calls will be needed as well because there will no longer be the need to persist data to the server session that would have been lost during navigation, because it needed to be saved, but was not yet ready to be committed to the database (this is the achilles heel of full page refresh).
Contrast how easily you can convert your website to an HTML injection SPA, to how much more difficult it is to convert it to a JSON based SPA, like Angular. Converting to a JSON based SPA requires a full rewrite, from scratch, on both the client and the server. Therefore a JSON SPA conversion is a much more complicated and expensive endeavor. Further more, the industry as a whole is coming around to the fact that service calls belong on the webserver, not on the browser.
Keep your current login page the way it is. SPA frameworks don't typically include the login page, and it is really most convenient to keep the login page independent and completely separate. This is especially true since many companies are going to single sign on software (SSO) where the login page is managed by that system instead of the protected web application.
Take your current web application landing page and paste its contents into the WebRocketX landing page template. You shouldn't have to change your backend controller code that leads to this page. Of course, you will change the welcome page to whichever framework and syntax your currently use, but the HTML rendered will need to have the required WebRocketX welcome page framework elements in it. Keep in mind that WebRocketX only exists on the browser and by the time this page makes it there, it is just a bunch of HTML text ready to be rendered and it is not important how this HTML got written on the server.
Typically in your landing page you will have parts of the page that you do not expect to change while the user is navigating your application, like the header, footer, and main menu. You will most likely want to mark, with an id, a div that will be your injection point (aka targetDiv) for you main pages. Keep in mind that even though the SPA page is structured, the developer is still free to inject into the header and the footer, and even subinject anywhere in the page. So, the freedom to update the page is still unlimited. Modal dialogs are of course also supported.
One other point worth making is that the application does not have to be a single SPA. It can also be made up a collection of SPA's. For example, if there are very large flows spawned by menu items, each one of these flows could be a SPA, and each one of these "modules" will need to start with a landing page. Users will not be aware that they are switching SPA's.
All major server side frameworks contain a mechanism for mapping unhandled or even typed exceptions to a single failure or error page. Set up this mechanism on your server to return an error page capsule. It should be configured to return only a description when your application is running in production mode and additionally include a stack trace when running in development or QA mode.

Q: Why does my PHP Session check function fail with Wordpress... once? I have a simple session validator function for my site, which redirects to the login page if a specific session variable is not set.
public function checkSessionIsActive($session)
{
    if (!isset($_SESSION["userID"])) {
        header('Location: https://www.mywebsite.com/index.php');
        exit();
    }
}

This works as expected throughout my site.
Recently I have added a Wordpress section to my main site. The Wordpress section sits in it's own directory, /knowledgebase.
I want to add the session validating function to the Wordpress side of the site, and have done so by adding it to the index.php page within /knowledgebase (the first page loaded when navigating to www.mysite.com/knowledgebase. I have ensured there is a session_start() too.
<?php
session_start();

require "../classes/pageHandler.class.php";

$page = new PageHandler;
$page->checkSessionIsActive($_SESSION);
/**
 * Front to the WordPress application. This file doesn't do anything, but loads
 * wp-blog-header.php which does and tells WordPress to load the theme.
 *
 * @package WordPress
 */

/**
 * Tells WordPress to load the WordPress theme and output it.
 *
 * @var bool
 */

define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);

/** Loads the WordPress Environment and Template */
require( dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/wp-blog-header.php' );

For some reason, this does not work as expected. When navigating to www.mysite.com/knowledgebase, I am redirected as if if (!isset($session["userID"])) returns false.
I log back in, try the link again- it works. Every time, across all browsers.
To add to the strange nature of this issue, everytime I have tried a var_dump($_SESSION) on the /knowledgebase/index.php file and it shows the session variable "userID" is there and I am not redirected. Remove the var_dump, clear browsing history and try again- it fails first, then works second time around.
Any ideas?

A: Answered for anyone else having this issue. Wordpress handles PHP sessions differently, and this is well documented online. A good article I found was https://www.ironistic.com/using-php-sessions-in-wordpress/ which helped solve this issue.

While recently reading the biography of a famous 20th century performer, I ran across an account of the role entertainment played in helping people cope with the emotional stresses of the Great Depression. The book stated that Vaudeville and movies gave people a brief respite from the fears and strains of daily living, allowing them an emotional oasis where they could escape reality for a couple blessed hours.
As I read, I found myself thinking that escape had (and has) its benefits, but it in no way addresses the reality from which an oasis is needed. That reality is still there at the movie's end, replete with all the pressures and pains we tried to run away from. What we need more than escape, I think, is a resource for dealing with life as it is 24/7.
In reflecting on the book I was reading, I remembered an article I ran across years ago. It was written by the younger son of a family that had lived through the Great Depression. As an adult, he became a journalist and wrote often of the things he had observed and learned during that indescribably difficult epoch in the history of our nation. In any event, in the article I read the man wrote of how his mother was the one who held the family together during those bleak times (and during all other times when any sort of devastation approached their doorstep). Among the other things he wrote, I found this line particularly interesting: "When things were really bad, we knew two things would happen – Daddy would bring out a bottle, and Mama would bring out a Bible." No wonder it was the mother who held the family together whenever it appeared their world was falling apart. The father sought to escape. But the mother knew what they needed most of all, and she knew where to find it. She realized Who was their source both of strength and comfort when the tough times came.
Jesus' words that "there will be wars and rumors of wars" (Matthew 24:6) are easily applied to a wide variety of crises, including but not limited to military conflict. There are other sorts of wars we sometimes have to fight: relational difficulties, physical illnesses, financial stresses, depression, grief, guilt, the list is long. In most cases, those realities cannot be circumvented. We do not go "around" the valley of the shadow, said David the Psalmist, instead we go "through" it. The secret to surviving that journey lies in the knowledge that we do not make it alone. "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil for Thou art with me." (Psalm 23:4)That, as I understand it, is one of the three central promises of the Christian Faith. One promise is Eternity: "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." (John 3:16) The second promise is Grace: "For God sent his Son into the world not to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him." (John 3:17) And the third foundational promise of our Faith is Presence: "I will be with you always." (Matthew 28:20) We do not live in Shangri La. Eden is past. We live in a world of fear and faithlessness, hurt and harm, sickness and sin. But in the midst of all that is the God who promised never to abandon us to that world but always, instead, to walk with us through any valley, no matter how deep its shadows. That's what that mom understood when tough times came and she brought out the Bible. She understood the promises that are better than temporary respites from reality. She understood God's assurance of Presence – that wherever you go and whatever you face, you are not alone. God was there before you arrived, and God will walk with you through the shadows until daylight breaks again.

Math Circle: Logic Session #3: Noise, Normals, and Negators

Noise, Normals, and Negators
(January 29, 2013) The kids bounded in, filled with curiosity about whether the new puppets, Wags and Rooney, were knights or liars. Each child also wanted to hold a puppet. We had 4 puppets and 8 kids. Easy to manage, I thought: each child could have a puppet for half the class. Each child, though, wanted to make the puppets talk, and H, who hadn't had a turn at all last week, quite reasonably wanted everyone to have an equal amount of time over the two-week span. Uh oh; not so easy after all. This concern about justice, tempered by excitement, infused the hour with a nervous energy.
Before using the puppets, we spent 20 minutes discussing Dodgson's life. Kids were fascinated by his early life, especially his struggle with academics versus leisure. By the time Dodgson reached age 23 in the story, though, the kids were antsy for the puppets.
My plan had been for the kids to hold the puppets while I made them talk. Since the talking was important to some of the kids, however, I decided to whisper lines into people's ears.
But first, I clarified a requirement on the Island of Knights and Liars: everything anyone ever says is a statement. "What's a statement?" asked someone.
"Something that's not a question or an answer," replied D. While the class quickly agreed that a statement is definitely something that's not a question, his reply led into an interesting debate about whether a statement could be an answer. J and a few others provided some hypothetical examples that led to a consensus that statements are not questions but can be answers.
"But what is a statement?" demanded M, unsatisfied with the definition so far. Ideas petered out, so I gave one definition: a statement is a sentence that can be declared true or false. The kids then attempted to identify which of a number of sentences,1 including some commands, were statements. Things seemed clear until I announced that I was confused by what it means for something to be "true." M gave a definition that unfortunately I didn't accept because it used the word itself in the definition. Now there was silence. I called on a few kids for ideas, and got the response "I don't know." So I did that thing that's so hard for us teachers: I let the silence hang there.
Finally, C bravely offered the conjecture that true means "right." "And what does right mean?" I countered.
"Correct," said C. A number of heads nodded emphatically at his response. So I wrote "right/correct" on the board as our working definition of true. Now it was finally time for the puppets to talk.
I introduced the puppy Wags, and asked each child to say any statement they can think of to him. I whispered his answers into J's ear, and J repeated them to the group. The students' statements for Wags flew out of their mouths so fast that my assistant R was not able to record them in her notebook quickly enough. But here are a few:
"I am a cat," said V. ("You are not a cat," replied Wags.)
"The blackboard is green," said D. ("The blackboard is not green," replied Wags.)
"I don't like flowers," said J. ("You do like flowers," replied Wags.)
"Jack is taller than John and John is taller than Jack," challenged D. ("Jack is not taller than John, and John is not taller than Jack," retorted Wags.)
Student comments now shifted into conjectures and questions:
"Wags is not from the island." (L)
"Maybe he came from another island." (C)
"Maybe he's half knight and half liar." (J)
"Maybe his mother was a knight and his father was a liar." (V)
"He was always saying the opposite of what we were saying." (D)
"An Oppositer!" (M)
"What do you think Wags' favorite word is?" I asked.
"Not!" announced V, with E and the others chiming in. Several students challenged Wags to reply without using the word "not." He did so successfully until D challenged him with a one-word sentence: "Not." The kids laughed. Wags cried. I started to "cry" too until I realized that D's sentence was invalid.
"Wait a minute," I said. "Isn't the rule on this island that all utterances must be statements?" M reminded the rest of the group of the definition of a statement, and the kids quickly realized the flaw in D's challenge. They were so disappointed that Wags hadn't been tricked. But they didn't give up on him; they were determined to identify what type of person he was.
"We say something and then he says the opposite of it," said V, thinking out loud. Someone else added that sometimes Wags lies and sometimes tells the truth.
"He's normal," said L.
"He's a Normal," declared V.
"A contradictor," said someone.
At this point I was giddy inside because I had not introduced Wags as a Normal, nor had I defined Normals. Once again, I was reminded of the benefit of saying as little as possible. I told the kids that yes, they were right, Wags is a Normal, a new type of person on the island. Normals sometimes tell the truth and sometimes lie. Wags was a particular type of liar: a negator.
Now it was time to take turns with the puppets so that we could evaluate the statements of Rooney the raccoon. There was some arguing and disappointment about puppet holding. Once that was finally settled, Rooney spoke: "Jack is taller than John, and John is taller than Jack."
"Liar!" announced the group.
"I love you and I don't love you," stated Rooney.
"Liar!" It was obvious to everyone from the start that Rooney was a liar. I asked if he was a particular type of liar.
"He's a blender!" giggled M. "No one likes those people," she added, and the whole group laughed. I read the kids some sentences and asked whether Rooney, who always gives a statement coupled with its negation, could have said them. One stumped them:
"John Lasagna will be a little late for the party. He died yesterday."2 This statement drove the kids into seeming chaos. They were arguing, laughing, jumping, and shouting about it. What really happened, though, was that they paired off into lively independent conversations. V said to C, "Garfield ate John Lasagne, and Garfield was a little late to the party, so that meant that John was a little late since Garfield ate him!" Things were digressing into silliness, but still on-topic. I couldn't get a word in edgewise. I did try. I had planned to discuss this example with the class, but as we were out of time and they clearly didn't need me, I decided to end class amidst the joyful noise.
After I finally got most of them out of the room, I asked H for advice on how to make the puppet action more just. She proposed that she bring in her own puppet, designate its status (knight, liar, or normal), and prepare a statement for her puppet to recite to the class. I agreed that this sounds fair. C and another student who had lingered after class said, "Can I bring a puppet too?"
"Sure!" I said. Since most of the kids had left by then, I'm telling you parents now that it's fine for your child to bring one puppet if desired. Prepare that puppet as per H's proposal above, and we'll have some more fun with puppets and logic next time.

Q: What must one put in a SQL statement for an auto generated field? The first column in a MySQL table of mine is the primary key with auto increment. I am trying to add a new row with PHP like this.
mysql_query("INSERT INTO users VALUES ('', '$username', '$hashedPassword')");

What should I put in '' or the first field? It is auto generated, but I don't want the field to be empty.
Interestingly, making the field empty works, but I am afraid if this breaks in certain circumstances I have not encountered. What is the standard entity to put there?
Also, does your solution also apply to timestamp fields that default to the current time?
I am new to PHP and MySQL. Thanks.

A: INSERT INTO users ('username', 'hashedpassword') VALUES ('$username', '$hashedPassword')
You don't need to reference the auto generated id field as it will be handled by MySQL.

A: You can use NULL.
But better is to name the columns explicitly and just omit that column.
INSERT INTO users (username, hashedPassword)
VALUES ('$username', '$hashedPassword')

From the MySQL manual:

No value was specified for the AUTO_INCREMENT column, so MySQL assigned sequence numbers automatically. You can also explicitly assign NULL or 0 to the column to generate sequence numbers.

A: If it's auto-increment column, then don't specify anything. You should also explicitly list all columns that you are going to insert. Try this:
INSERT INTO users (username, password)
VALUES ('$username', '$hashedPassword');

A: The purpose of auto_increment is not to have to put anything there. You MUST keep it NULL or DEFAULT, or do not included it as a vlue you are inserting/updating. It's handeled internally by MySQL

A: It's good to get into the habit of specifying your fields like this
INSERT INTO users (username,password) VALUES ( '$username', '$hashedPassword')

Or if you want to specify the id field too use NULL
INSERT INTO users (id,username,password) VALUES (NULL, '$username', '$hashedPassword')

By specifying the fields, your code is less likely to break if, for example, you add an extra field to the table.

A: As others have suggested, specify which columns you're going to add data to. Once you do that, you may omit the primary key column, and the DBMS will take care of it for you.

As the demand for new and more sophisticated ice cream products continues to skyrocket, medium capacity producers need an extrusion line with the flexibility to handle a wide product range and changeovers on the fly. Our new best practice medium capacity extrusion line helps medium capacity producers capitalize on the growing trends – handling everything from cones and wafer cups with sophisticated swirls and fillings to candy bars and enrobed bite-size products.
Consumers are looking for cones and wafer cups with two flavours of ice cream swirled high together, ice cream filled with swirls of marmalade or caramel and products with different flavours such as coffee or caramel core-filled into a vanilla ice cream. Consumers also crave tasty inclusions such as pieces of chocolate or candy. Our best practice medium capacity extrusion line is completely servo-driven, enabling these advanced swirling and filling techniques, inclusions of up to 10 mm in diameter and lets cones and wafer cups swirl up to new heights. ?
As the health trend continues to grow, we also see a huge demand on the market for smaller portion sizes such as candy bars and bite-sized products enrobed in chocolate. Our integrated system for handling chocolate enrobed products has the smallest footprint and is the best solution on the market, making it easy for producers to capitalize on this trend. The hardening tunnel in our best practice medium capacity extrusion line does double duty – first it hardens the ice cream, then after the product has been dipped in chocolate, it hardens the chocolate as well. This saves producers from having a separate stand-alone after-cooler that's takes up valuable space. ?


In January 2005, an Outreach Ministry was developed to reach out to the less fortunate in various ways. The first opportunity began with the preparation of meals at church for delivery to Aid for Friends, an organization that distributes meals to the needy and isolated shut-ins in the Greater Philadelphia region. Support for this outreach is fully funded by donations from members of our church community. As of 2014, more than 5000 meals have been prepared by our volunteers.
In the Fall of 2005, The Outreach Ministry embarked on a second outreach – this one specifically for children. Each October our parish begins filling shoeboxes for children for a project called Operation Christmas Child, which is under the auspices of Samaritan's Purse. The shoeboxes are filled with necessities, small games, items of personal hygiene, school supplies, etc. – as much as can fill a standard shoebox. The shoeboxes are delivered to a selected drop-off location where they are ultimately shipped by Samaritan's Purse to underprivileged countries all over the world. Of great joy to our community is that Armenia is one of the countries designated by Samaritan's Purse to receive shoeboxes each year. We had the additional pleasure of meeting – in our parish – one of the children in Armenia who received a shoebox when she was a youngster. As of 2014, 723 have been filled by our community and shipped all over the world.
For information to participate in either of these efforts, please contact Jeanette Der Hagopian at choirboss@hotmail.com or 215-206-0440.


As I was leaving the X gig at the Greyhound on Friday night, I ran into Jesse Bates who invited me to his birthday that Sunday. I have seen him in quite a few bands around the place so I decided to go after the Karaoke Oscars.
There were heaps of people there by the time I arrived and Jesse and co were playing up a storm in the lounge room. People from several of the bands that he drummed in played and other people joined in as they felt like it.
Steve Prictor kissed my cheek, yuk! It was very hot in the main room so I went out to the back yard occasionally and talked to one of the bar staff from my local and his friends.
I left a bit after 1am, but I am sure the party went on late until the night or at least until the police came. It was great to get the chance to go and I will try to get to more of Jesse's gigs in the future.


ABSTRACT - The internet pages of issuers of securities represent a modern way with the assistance of information and communication technologies for the two-way exchange of information flows. The information disseminated through the websites of the issuers determines the investment decision of the participants on the regulated market of financial instruments. The requirements for their content are included in European regulations, laws in force in the Republic of Bulgaria and ordinances issued by the Financial Supervision Commission.
In addition to the stringent regulatory requirements for websites of the issuers of securities, there are additional requirements (for example the selecting of appropriate and protected domain names) for the provision of well-functioning and maintained webpages, which are the main instrument for presence in the virtual space and ensure the stability and security in the dissemination of regulated information.


How will you spend your Saturday? I am dying to explore an apple orchard. Fall is the ultimate time of year for visiting farms, orchards, and pumpkin patches. Visiting places where fruit and vegetables are grown gives me a new appreciation for the work that goes into growing them. I always thought I was more of a summer person, but in the last few years fall has grown on me more and more. If you look for it, I bet there's a farm or orchard closer to you than you think. Bring a camera, and plenty of friends. You won't regret it.
