Research Without Consent in Philadelphia
By Daniel Beck

Safeguarding informed consent in research on human subjects has been a central goal for the bioethics movements, especially in light of past abuses. Not all that long ago was it the predominant view among medical practitioners that "Doctor knows best."
Unfortunately, we have seen how this paternalistic attitude can have morally horrific consequences, especially for patients from marginalized and vulnerable communities. Perhaps the most infamous example of human experimentation in the U.S. without adequate informed consent is the Tuskegee syphilis experiment, where researchers were studying the natural history of syphilis in African-American patients to develop better treatments. The men who were enrolled in this study were never fully informed of the purpose and details of the medical study, and they were never offered penicillin to treat their syphilis after it had become the clear drug of choice for treatment.
We can see that informed consent is important for several reasons. For one, it is instrumentally valuable for protecting the interests and health of the individual patients and research subjects. While medical researchers may have the success of the study and their own careers front and center in their minds, the individual patients or subjects are more likely to have their own well-being as their primary concern. If they are informed of the risks and benefits of the study and they are able to agree to it or not, then they are more likely to make a better decision for themselves than would the doctor.
Another line of justification for informed consent draws on the non-instrumental good of autonomy. The unique dignity of human beings lies in their capacity for autonomy—their ability to set their own ends and pursue those ends how they see fit. Given that the integrity of one's own body is central to one's ability to set ends and pursue them, it is doubly important that bodily autonomy is rigidly protected. Giving a person full knowledge about what you propose to do to their body before you do it and allowing them to agree to it or not—i.e. informed consent—is what respecting bodily autonomy entails. This moral importance of respecting autonomy is independent of whether we think the patient is making the best choice for him or herself.
However, not all experimental studies on human subjects are legally required to obtain informed consent from their subjects beforehand. NPR reported recently on a study in Philadelphia called the Philadelphia Immediate Transport in Penetrating Trauma Trial. The study is designed to test out a potential standard treatment practice for adult gunshot and stab wound victims. Currently, most stab and gunshot wound patients receive advanced care while being transported by paramedics to the nearest hospital, which involves the use of breathing tubes and intravenous fluids. However, the study aims to test whether more basic care–dressing wounds, hemorrhage control, and breathing assistance, but no IV or breathing tubes–will lead to better outcomes. The rationale behind this change is that the body needs to keep a below average blood pressure while forming clots. Intravenous fluids, however, can raise a patient's blood pressure, thus making it harder for the body to repair itself while hemorrhaging.
Since this study is being tested city-wide, nearly all adult Philadelphians are potential enrollees. If you are the victim of a gunshot or stab wound, and you meet certain other criteria, you will be enrolled in the study. One cannot feasibly get informed consent from every single resident before starting the study. So, experiment takes another tact. All potential enrollees can choose to opt-out, but then must wear a wristband for the 5-year duration of the study. A formal consent process will only occur after the subject has been randomized into the control or experimental group and has been provided the treatment.
Informed consent purists may argue that, since informed consent prior to enrollment is impossible in this situation, we simply cannot ethically proceed with this study. But, this absolutist position has the unfortunate consequence of ruling out in advance nearly any experimentation on emergency medical treatments. Like the gunshot wound victims in the case of the Philadelphia study, it is in the nature of emergency medical situations that there is not enough time, nor is the victim in a stable enough state, to obtain informed consent ahead of time.
This consideration may not alone be enough to convince those who see informed consent as central to protecting autonomy, since autonomy concerns usually trump utilitarian arguments about maximizing benefits for a population. However, let us note that we are already comfortable with waiving informed consent in these life-or-death situations. Given the nature of the possible harm—permanent damage or death—and given that most people tend to want to be saved, we presume that someone in need of emergency medical attention would consent to being saved, excepting situations during end-of-life care where the patient has already made the opposite preference clear by signing a do not resuscitate order.
If it is already morally acceptable to presume consent prior to providing emergency treatment to stab and gunshot wound victims in Philadelphia, and if we truly do not yet know whether the basic or the advanced care is best for them, then it would seem morally acceptable to provide either one of these types of care until we have collected enough data to conclude that one of these treatments is preferable. Those in favor of conducting the Philadelphia study will argue that an exception to the informed consent rule in the case of this study is morally legitimate and does substantially threaten autonomy concerns. Though it is probably a good idea for those running the Philadelphia study to pro-actively reach out to the community and attempt to inform as many people as they can ahead of time.

Операція «Шінгл» () — морська десантна операція, що була проведена американськими та британськими військами з висадки морського десанту в районі італійських міст Анціо та Неттуно за часів Другої світової війни. Десантна операція під командуванням генерал-майора Джона П. Лукаса мала за мету висадки військ союзників в тиловій смузі німецьких військ за Зимовою лінією поблизу Риму.

Спочатку висадка десанту в цьому місці пройшла з успіхом, німці опинилися не готовими до проведення протидесантної операції. Однак, географічні умови плацдарму були дуже складними, район був оточений осушеними болотами та передгір'ям Апенінських гір й подальше просування англо-американських військ залежало від рішучих та ініціативних дій командування сил вторгнення, а також елементів несподіванки і стрімкості, з якою союзники могли прорватися із захоплених плацдармів, поки німці зможуть адекватно відреагувати. Будь-яка затримка призводила до окупації гір військами Вермахту та блокуванням сил вторгнення на узбережжі.

Початкова висадка військ на берег вдалася без опору з боку німецьких чи італійських військ й патрульний джип дійшов до околиці Риму доповівши про відсутність військ противника. Незважаючи на цю доповідь, генерал Лукас, який мало вірив в успіх запланованої операції продемонстрував надмірну застережливість, й проігнорувавши елемент несподіванки, своїм наказом затримав просування своїх військ на кілька днів, поки укріпляв захоплені позиції й не переконався в тому, що його війська готові до подальшого просування.

Доки війська західних союзників гаяли час, укріплюючись на захопленому узбережжі, генерал-фельдмаршал Альберт Кессельрінг, головнокомандувач німецькими військами на італійському театрі дій, без коливань скористався ваганнями супротивника й перекинув усі свої резерви й створив потужне кільце оборони навколо плацдарму, зосереджуючи опорні пункти на гірських гребенях, де його артилеристи мали чітке уявлення про кожну ціль на береговій лінії. Німці зупинили роботу дренажних насосів і затопили осушені болота морською водою. Повністю ігноруючи протести італійців, Кессельрінг таким чином відновив солонувате середовище, у якому процвітали комарі й утворив умови для епідемії малярії. Між тим, протягом тижня, поки союзники збиралися з силами, постійний артилерійський вогонь вівся по всьому на пляжі, болотах, гавані, що було помітно на пагорбах.

Через місяць важкої, але безрезультатної боротьби генерал Лукас був звільнений з посади і відправлений додому, його змінив генерал-майор Лучіан Траскотт. Нарешті у травні, після того, як союзники зосередили в 4 рази більше військ, вони спромоглися прорватися із зони висадки, але, замість того, щоб вирвавшись на оперативний простір, вдарити в тил 10-й німецькій армії, що билася при Монте-Кассіно, Траскотт за наказом М. В. Кларка повернув свої війська на північний захід у бік Риму, який був захоплений 4 червня. В результаті, основні сили німецької 10-ї армії були в змозі відійти з-під Монте-Кассіно і приєднатися до решти сил Кессельрінга північніше Риму, перегрупуватися і організувати запеклий опір на оборонних позиціях Готської лінії оборони.

Our pick of this week's art events: 5 – 11 September
By Sam Phillips
From an exhibition of the late works of JMW Turner RA at Tate Britain to 1930s fashion photography from Horst P. Horst.
Late Turner: Painting Set Free
Tate Britain, London, 10 September - 25 January 2015
JMW Turner RA's late paintings form both one of the most celebrated and most contested bodies of work in British art. Does their radical handling of paint represent a type of proto-Impressionism, over twenty years before Monet and friends displayed their groundbreaking works in Paris? Or was Turner, as he claimed, just continuing the project of his whole career, to record with accuracy the land, sea and sky?
Although many of his paintings are normally on permanent display for free at Tate Britain, this week's new exhibition on his late style is worth the ticket price, as it promises to unite rarely seen works and reveal new research about his technique and intentions.
JMW Turner RA, Peace - Burial at Sea, Exhibited 1842.
Oil paint on canvas support. 87 x 86.7 cm. Tate. Accepted by the nation as part of the Turner Bequest 1856.
Folkestone Triennial
In and around Folkestone, until 2 November 2014
The Folkestone Triennial has returned to the Kent coast this autumn, with the town once again become a canvas for contemporary artists – site-specific artworks spring up in unexpected places, always in response to the particular social and environmental circumstances of Folkestone. The twenty-odd pieces – taken together with works from the previous two Triennials that remain in situ – help Folkestone reach a kind of critical mass of art, so that one stumbles on an interesting work of art at nearly every turn.
This year's highlights include Pablo Bronstein's hyper-real beach hut inspired by Baroque architect Nicholas Hawksmoor, Tim Etchells's neon text piece installed in the wonderfully atmospheric ruins of the Harbour Railway Station and Jyll Bradley's affecting light installation, which takes the structure of a hop garden – vertical strips of aluminium and green-lit plastic come together with diagonals of handwoven hop string. Bradley's lightboxes and drawings have meanwhile gone on show at London's Mummery + Schnelle gallery.
Maureen Paley, London, 8 September – 6 October 2014
Wall paintings and woodcuts by Gert and Uwe Tobias go on view at London's Maureen Paley from Monday, following a major show of the Romanian brothers at the Whitechapel Gallery last year. Macabre but always highly alluring, the works bring together forms that range as wide as their native Transylvania: folksy flowers and plants, surreal animal creatures, everyday items from furniture to cutlery, and arrangements of geometric shapes in the style of minimalist abstraction.

Sprüth Magers, London, until 4 October 2014
Sprüth Magers displays the first exhibition dedicated to Bernd and Hilla Becher's photographs in over 15 years. The German duo hold a pivotal position in contemporary art, partly through their influence on younger photographers, including artists such as Andreas Gursky and Thomas Struth who studied under them at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf.
Their work is always recognisable: coolly composed black and white images of individual structures, which comprise a five-decade-long project to document – in series and with exceptional rigour – the industrial buildings of Europe. Their detached style has come to define photographic minimalism, allowing their austere metal subjects to be assessed on their own terms.
Bernd + Hilla Becher, Coal Bunkers, 1966-99.

Lynda Benglis: Planar Device
Thomas Dane, London, until 4 October 2014
American artist Lynda Benglis pioneered experimental processes in the 1960s, perhaps most memorably with her series of 'spills', for which molten latex was mixed with neon pigments before being poured across the floor – once cool and hard, the latex became an abstract to be viewed from above (see this interesting video about how Benglis made Contraband (1969), her work in the Whitney). Thomas Dane in London presents from this week her recent works in clay, ceramics that could not be further from the elegant produce of potter's wheel. Instead Benglis shapes her material with rough, expressionistic gestures, with paint seemingly splattered on top in impulse and glaze added haphazardly. They feel the result of a freeform performance.

Horst: Photographer of Style
Victoria & Albert Museum, London, 6 September – 4 January 2015
They might not be fine art, but I should also recommend the splendid fashion photographs of Horst P. Horst, which come into focus at the V&A from this weekend. In the 30s he became Vogue's photographer-in-chief in Paris, at a time when the French city was still "capital of the arts" – and one can see the influence of Surrealist painters on his images from this time.

Fedora 12 Alpha Announcement
Revision as of 08:01, 15 August 2009 by Moixs (talk | contribs)
Fedora 12 "Contantine" is available! When Fedora 10 and 11 were released, users and press alike gushed: "Slick and stable... has a rock solid feel." "Fast and easy." "A great release." What's next for the free operating system that shows off the best new technology of tomorrow? You can find out at:
http://fedoraproject.org/get-prerelease
For this release, we slightly changed the way Fedora is distributed to the public. Instead of releasing an Alpha, Beta, Preview Release and Final version, we will only provide Alpha, Beta and Final versions for Fedora 12. Alpha in Fedora now means essentially the same as industry-wide, in our case "feature-complete and testable". That means that Alpha is publicly testable, not by just an anointed few. Beta now means "code-complete and as bug-free as possible" and it should be as close to a final release as humanly possible.
To achieve that goal, we also hope to repeat the crazy success of Fedora 11's Beta contest! Test five things in the Alpha that are important to you as a user. If you find a bug *and* report it, you get the free attention of a package maintainer on a problem personally important to you! Do your part to make Fedora 11 that much better.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/
Among the top features of this ground-breaking release:
Blah - Blah.
But wait, there's more! For developers there are all sorts of goodies:
Peek under the hood and there is still more:
And that is only the beginning. A more complete list and details of each new cited feature is available:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/12/FeatureList
For release information, including common and known bugs, please refer to the release notes:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_12_Alpha_release_notes
Since this is an Alpha release, there may still be some rough spots still in the polishing phase. Some of them are already known and in the process of fixing. If you find a problem, please check the list of known issues and then file a bug:

The programme offers an overview of some of the most celebrated arias of the repertoire which, as in the cases of La Griselda and Samson, are the most commonly recorded pieces of these operas or are arias taken from evergreen operas and oratorios as Rinaldo or Messiah. What is peculiar is that this programme is not aimed to give prominence only to Jo's virtuosity as it might be expected but it is rather a mixture between arie di bravura and other in which the soprano has the chance to express with quietness the tenderest feelings. This is achieved with equal success as it is possible to hear comparing the shining coloratura of Let the bright Seraphim from Samson with Lascia ch'io pianga from Rinaldo, where Almirena's sadness is expressed with a crystal voice that is incredibly touching.
A less happy result must be registered for the first aria Jo sings after the introductory Larghetto from Nulla in Mundo Pax Sincera. This is the well-known Agitata da due venti from Vivaldi's La Griselda, a piece that has been placed at this point with the clear intention to create an effective beginning but that unfortunately reveals with too much clarity that to Jo's silvery and secure high register does not correspond a low register of the same value, something that is even more regrettable considering the beautiful performance of the melismas.
This is not the only weak point of Baroque Journey and I have to mention two more of them. The first is the pronunciation that, although not incorrect, is not particularly accentuated and in English it sounds rather artificial, as it is possible to hear in the many arias sung in this language. This does not prevent some of these arias to be charming and in at least one case (I mean Wher'er You Walk from Handel's Semele) Jo reaches peaks of unheard-of excellence, to the point that this can be considered one of the best achievements of the entire album.
The second weakness is that, from time to time, Jo seems enchanted by herself and this slows down a little the rhythm of the album, although in this case too there are many happy exceptions, as the aforementioned Let the bright Seraphim or the wonderful Bist Du Bei Mir, an aria written by Gottfried Heinrich Stölzel and formally attributed to Bach.
These flaws are little things compared to Jo's perfect technique and to the silvery timbre of her voice that do not fail to inspire sympathy in the aria from Bach's Kaffee Kantata, melancholy in Purcell's Music for a while (from Oedipus) and unhappiness in Vivaldi's Sposa son disprezzata (from Tamerlano). This Baroque Journey, then, is an interesting and pleasing album that will give to every listener several moments of absolute bliss.

Sesame, or sesame seeds, are one of the oldest edible and oily seeds known to man. Sesame, the plant, comes from India and Africa, and came to America with slaves. At first the seeds were used to thicken foods and to give them flavor. Today, it is one of the most widely used seeds in cooking and international baking, especially in oriental foods.
Sesame is an important source of different minerals, like calcium which plays a role in the formation of bones and teeth, zinc, a mineral involved in metabolizing carbon moisture, fats and proteins, and iron.
Contains nearly 20% protein, a large percentage of vitamin B, and 55% oil, making it ideal for keeping the skin glowing and beautiful.
It is also common to find this plant in oils. The oil is obtained by means of cold pressing the seeds. Keep in mind, however, that to take advantage of this oil's properties, it's important to buy it non-refined.
The oil is used in several cosmetic products to lubricate and beautify the skin.
The most common way to obtain and consume sesame is through its seeds, be it toasted or raw. You can find them already included in some products such as breads and crackers, or by themselves.
Sesame is a very versatile seed that can be mixed with other spices to achieve an array of all sorts of meals. The whole seed is primarily used, sprinkled over salads, breads, salsas, sauces, meats, crackers, sweets, etc. A very large amount of oil can be extracted from the seed as well.
Once open, it is advisable to store the product in a dry place to protect it from moisture. Sesame is ideal for fish stews, baking, soy beans with plums and almonds, fresh marinated tofu, etc.
Another way to eat sesame is in the form of Gomashio, a name given to sesame salt, with which several meals and salsas can be made.

IRH has led the research and implementation of USAID's natural family planning portfolio for several decades.
The AWARENESS Project, awarded in 1997, was the second research project focusing on natural family planning awarded by USAID. The project's goal was to improve and expand natural family planning services and develop new strategies and approaches to increase reproductive health awareness of individuals and communities worldwide. The project addressed the very real and widespread need of women and couples who would like to use a natural method to avoid pregnancy but lack the information and skills to do so effectively.
Using a research-to-practice model, IRH developed two new, simplified, modern and effective natural methods with the potential to expand family planning use and reduce unmet need. The biomedical and operations research conducted by IRH led to the development and piloting of the Standard Days Method® (SDM). This research included an efficacy study demonstrating a failure rate of less than 5% with perfect use, several operations research studies to understand the provision and use of the SDM in service delivery settings in developing countries, and three impact studies to understand the value of the SDM to family planning programs. IRH also completed clinical trials and several operations research studies for the TwoDay Method®. The AWARENESS Project positioned both of these new natural family planning methods well for strategic scale-up.

The G.O.A.T.
Who's the Best Marilyn of Them All?
Critical acclaim and legions of adoring fans are nice, but the true rite of passage for any actress on the rise is to pose as the screen siren that epitomized Hollywood glamour, Marilyn Monroe. Take a look at a few of the starlets who've portrayed the blonde bombshell in film and print, and tell us who you think did (or will do) the vivacious vixen justice.
The waiflike Williams transformed into the bodacious screen siren for her role in the upcoming movie _My Week with Marilyn_. Although she did gain some weight to look the part, Williams told _Vogue_ she resorted to foam padding on her hips to get Marilyn's signature curves.
_Photo source: "Vogue.com":http://www.vogue.com/_
_Photo source: "Vogue.com":http://bit.ly/oCn8iS_
Madonna borrowed heavily from Marilyn's image for most of her early career, but nowhere more obviously than in her video for "Material Girl," which mimics (pink dress and all) Monroe's iconic performance of "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend" in the film _Gentlemen Prefer Blondes_.
_Photo source: "People.com":http://www.people.com/people/_
In 2008, Lindsay posed for Bert Stern, the photographer who shot the famous series of photos with Monroe in 1962 that have come to be known as "The Last Sitting." Each of the photos with Lohan was a re-creation of one of the famous Marilyn shots.
_Photo source: "Nymag.com":http://nymag.com/fashion/08/spring/44247/_
Barrymore posed as Marilyn for the cover of JFK Jr.'s _George_ magazine in 1996. The birthday wishes, which were a nod to Marilyn's famous serenade of John Jr.'s father, were for then-President Bill Clinton, who was turning fifty.
_Photo source: George_
Naomi tries Marilyn's platinum locks on for size for her upcoming role in the movie _Blonde_, based on the fictitious memoir of Marilyn Monroe by Joyce Carole Oates.

Mira Sorvino and Ashley Judd
The transformation from the pre-fame girl-next-door Norma Jean into the bleach-blond glamour-puss we know as Marilyn was so dramatic it was almost as if they were two entirely different people. That's the premise behind 1996's made-for-TV movie _Norma Jean and Marilyn_, which featured Ashley Judd as Norma Jean and Mira Sorvino as Marilyn Monroe.
Kelly channeled her inner Marilyn for a photo shoot with _People_ in 2010, when she was named one of their most beautiful people.
Visionary makeup artist Kevyn Aucion transformed Lisa Marie Presley into Ms. Monroe for his 1999 book, _Making Faces_.

Famous Like Me > Actor > H > Lenny Henry
Profile of Lenny Henry on Famous Like Me
Name: Lenny Henry
Date of Birth: 29th August 1958
Place of Birth: West-Midlands, England, UK
Lenny Henry, CBE (born Lenworth Hinton on August 29, 1958 in Dudley, West Midlands) is a British entertainer, whose family moved to the UK from Jamaica in the 1950s.
Henry studied at Bluecoat Secondary Modern School, WR Tewson School, and Preston College, and has since obtained a degree in English literature from the Open University.
His earliest TV appearances were on the New Faces TV talent show in the 1970s where he was a repeat winner. His formative years were in working men's clubs where his unique act - a young black man impersonating white characters such as Frank Spencer from Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em - gave him an edge in what were racially divisive times. Subsequently he was a comedy performer on The Black and White Minstrel Show.
Later he appeared on the children's programme Tiswas and subsequently the show Three of a Kind with comedians Tracey Ullman and David Copperfield. Around this time he met his future wife, Dawn French, who encouraged him to move over to the fledgling alternative comedy scene, where he established a career as a stand-up comedy performer and character comedian. He introduced characters which both mocked and celebrated black British culture, such as Theophilus P. Wildebeeste (a Barry White-a-like), Brixton pirate radio DJ Delbert Wilkins and Trevor MacDoughnut (a spoof on Trevor McDonald). Much of his stand-up material, which was enormously popular on recorded LP, owed much to the writing abilities of Kim Fuller.
Henry's TV work started principally with his own self-titled show, which has appeared in variant forms ever since. He was also a part-time member of The Comic Strip.
In the early 1990s, Henry was lured to Hollywood to star in the film True Identity, in which his character spent most of the film pretending to be a white person in order to avoid the mob. The film was not successful, and it has been suggested that part of the problem was that the film's producers didn't really understand Henry and used him in a project that wasn't a good match for his talents.
Henry is perhaps best known to modern audiences as the choleric chef of the comedic 1990s television series Chef!. In 1999 he also had a successful straight-acting lead role in the BBC drama Hope And Glory and tried his hand at soul singing, appearing, for example, as a back-up singer on Kate Bush's last recorded album in 1993 and, backed by David Gilmour of Pink Floyd at Amnesty International's Big 3-0 telethon. He would later say that both moves were not showing him at his best and that he felt most comfortable with character comedy, returning to the BBC to do Lenny Henry in Pieces, a character-based comedy sketch show. He followed this with The Lenny Henry Show in which he combined stand-up, character sketches and song parodies.
In 2003, he was listed in The Observer as one of the 50 funniest acts in British comedy.
He married comedy actress Dawn French on October 20, 1984. They have an adopted daughter.
Henry is also one of the celebrities most associated with the British Comic Relief charity organisation along with Griff Rhys Jones.
He lent his voice to the "shrunken head" on the Knight Bus in the 2004 movie Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.

Our value has nothing to do with our actions.
Our value is based in who God created us to be.
When we stand up for the brokenhearted in spite of their sin, we give an opportunity to walk out of their brokenness and into Freedom with Christ.
Mercy and grace are not excuses to stay in our sin.
They are the vehicle that gives us the power to walk away from our sin.
Consider what brokenness has cost you.
Take the first step towards freedom.
Picture Jesus taking your brokenness from you and replace it with something else.

ST. ALPHONSUS, PATRON SAINT OF CONFESSORS AND MORALISTS
VATICAN CITY, 30 MAR 2011 (VIS) - In this Wednesday's general audience, celebrated in St Peter's Square, the Pope spoke about St. Alphonsus Maria of Liguori, bishop, Doctor of the Church and "outstanding moral theologian and master of spiritual life".
"St. Alphonsus was born in 1696 to a rich and noble Neapolitan family", and undertook a brilliant career as a lawyer, which he abandoned in order to become a priest in 1726.
The Holy Father explained that the saint "began his work of evangelisation and catechesis at the most humble levels of Neapolitan society, to whom he enjoyed preaching and whom he instructed in the basic truths of the faith".
In 1732 he founded the religious congregation of the Holy Redeemer. Its members, "under the guidance of Alphonsus, were genuine itinerant missionaries, who travelled to the remotest villages exhorting conversion to the faith and perseverance in Christian life, above all by means of prayer".
Benedict XVI recalled that St. Alphonsus died in 1787, was canonised in 1839 and declared a Doctor of the Church in 1871. This title was granted for a number of reasons. Firstly, for his valuable teachings in the field of moral theology, which accurately expressed Catholic doctrine and on account of which Pius XII proclaimed him as "patron of all confessors and moralists".
"St. Alphonsus", continued the Pope, "never tired of repeating that priests were a visible sign of the infinite mercy of God, Who pardons and illuminates the minds and hearts of sinners that they might convert and change their lives. In our age, in which there are clear signs of a loss of moral conscience and - it is necessary to note with some concern - a certain lack of respect for the Sacrament of Confession, the teaching of St. Alphonsus remains valid".
The Holy Father explained that, "along with his theological works, St. Alphonsus composed many other writings which contributed to the religious formation of the people, such as 'Eternal Maxims', the 'Glories of Mary' and the 'Practice of the Love of Jesus Christ'. This last work represented a synthesis of his thought and is his masterpiece".
The Pope emphasised that the Neapolitan saint "insisted on the need for prayer", and remarked that "among the forms of prayer recommended by St. Alphonsus, most important was the visit to the Blessed Sacrament or, as we would say nowadays, adoration - brief or sustained, personal or communal - of the Eucharist".
"Alphonsus' spirituality was eminently Christological, centred upon Christ and His Gospel. Meditation on the mystery of the Incarnation and of the Passion of the Lord were frequently subjects of his teachings. ... His piety was also markedly Marian. Personally devoted to Mary, he emphasised her role in the history of salvation".
Benedict XVI concluded his catechesis by commenting that "St. Alphonsus of Liguori was an example of a zealous priest who won souls by teaching the Gospel and administering the Sacraments, and by his own gentle and mild manner which originated from his intense rapport with God's infinite goodness. He had a realistically optimistic view of the resources the Lord grants to every man, and gave importance to affections and sentiments of the heart, as well as to the mind, in loving God and others".

APPEAL FOR IVORY COAST, GREETING TO NEW ARCHBISHOP
VATICAN CITY, 30 MAR 2011 (VIS) - During the language greetings following his catechesis at this morning's general audience, Benedict XVI mentioned the people of Ivory Coast "traumatised by painful internal conflicts and grave social and political tensions.
"While I express my closeness to all those who have lost a loved one or suffer as a result of the violence", he said in French, "I make an urgent appeal for the process of constructive dialogue for the common good to begin as quickly as possible. The dramatic clashes necessitate the urgent restoration of respect and peaceful co-existence. Every effort must be made to this end.
"With these sentiments, I have decided to send to that noble country Cardinal Peter Kodwo Turkson, present of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace, to express my solidarity and that of the Universal Church with the victims of the conflict, and to encourage reconciliation and peace".
Then, speaking Ukrainian, he greeted His Beatitude Sviatoslav Shevchuk, recently elected as major archbishop of Kyiv-Halyc, and the accompanying bishops and faithful of the Greek-Ukrainian Catholic Church, assuring them of his "constant prayer that the Holy Trinity may bring abundance, and confirm in peace and harmony the beloved Ukrainian nation".
"The Lord", said the Holy Father, addressing the new archbishop, "has called you to the service and guidance of this noble Church, which is a part of the people who for over a thousand years have received Baptism at Kyiv. I am sure that, illuminated by the work of the Holy Spirit, you will preside over your Church, guiding her in faith in Jesus Christ in accordance with her own tradition and spirituality, in communion with the See of Peter which is the visible bond of that unity for which so many of her children have not hesitated even to lay down their lives".

Celebration & Networking
Spotlight on National Hispanic American Heritage Month
Alexandra Colasacco 10/08/2021 October 12th, 2021
National Hispanic American Heritage Month, celebrated from September 15 to October 15, is a time for us to pay tribute to Hispanic & Latino Americans and their innumerable contributions to our nation, society, and culture.
In our industry, National Hispanic American Heritage Month is a critical reminder of the importance of representation. Here at Realogy, we are proud to employ 30% of the top 259 Hispanic agents from the National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals (NAHREP). We are also working in conjunction with NAHREP to help bridge the wealth gap between white and Hispanic/Latino communities. And though there is still much work to be done, the last decade has seen some real progress. Going forward, it is up to all of us to lead the way in working to break down barriers for a more inclusive, diverse and representative real estate industry. These efforts are a true win-win. Most importantly, it's the right thing to do—but it also makes a world of sense from a business perspective.
When you look at the real estate data, the numbers are clear: Hispanic home ownership is on the rise. According to RISMedia, it has increased from 45.5% in 2014 to more than 48% in 2020. And a study by the Urban Institute predicts that the Hispanic population will be even more of a force in real estate in the years to come. "Young Hispanic households will account for the largest household growth. In 1990, just 7.3% of young households (headed by someone younger than 65) were Hispanic. By 2020 that had more than doubled to 16.4%. We project this share will continue to increase in the next two decades."
A Passion for Having a Positive Impact
We talked with Bonnie Sue Lovelace, Vice President of Learning at Realogy, and Leader of Realogy's One Voz Employee Resource Group about the importance of representation, being an advocate, and some of her personal inspirations.
Personal and Professional Champions
Q: We celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month (September 15 to October 15) to recognize the achievements and contributions of Hispanic American champions who have inspired others to achieve success. Who are some of the champions in your life personally and professionally that inspire you?
Bonnie Sue: On a personal level, my mother is my biggest inspiration. She was born in Madera, a very small town in Chihuahua, Mexico. Middle school was the highest level of school available, but mother has always been a high achiever. She moved to Juarez and then to El Paso, Texas to pursue her dreams. When she arrived here, my mom had no family or friends to depend on. She spoke no English, had no money, and no education beyond 8th grade. With zero advantages, my mom managed to learn English, graduate from both high school and college and buy a home as a single mother. She is still teaching special education to this day. She taught me and my siblings that we can do anything. I learned from her how to hustle because she never listened to excuses. Professionally, my younger sister is my inspiration. She has two master's degrees, one in mechanical engineering and another in nuclear engineering. Only 13% of the workforce in her field are women, and only 2% are Latinas! My younger sister inspires me every day.❤
The Importance of Representation
Q: In the real estate industry, celebrating the Hispanic & Latino community and making sure they are thoroughly represented within the homeownership experience is of utmost importance. What are some of the strides we have made as an industry to make homeownership possible for the Hispanic Community?
Bonnie Sue: The 2020 State of Hispanic Homeownership Report®, now in its eleventh year of publication, is a product of both the National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals®(NAHREP®) and the Hispanic Wealth Project. The report coalesces data and research across a broad cross-section within and outside of the housing industry. It serves to evaluate how the U.S. Latino population is faring in terms of homeownership acquisition and to review the primary opportunities and barriers to future homeownership growth.
Latinos are the only demographic in the U.S. to increase their rate of homeownership for each of the past six years.
It's estimated that between 2020 and 2040, 70 percent of new homeowners will be Latino.
From 2009-2019, Latinos accounted for 52.3 percent of U.S. population growth.
There are 8.3 million Latinos under the age of 45 with the credit characteristics to potentially qualify for a mortgage.
Approximately one in three Latinos is in their prime home-buying years (25-44). Most Latinos driving up these rates are first-time homebuyers
And, while all of the above represent amazing statistics, I believe there is also a lot of opportunity to increase wealth in our communities—mostly through education.
Education and Home Ownership
Q: What is your wish for the future of this initiative?
Bonnie Sue: I want to educate all on homeownership. I was lucky to be educated at a young age about the power of owning real estate and I want to spread that message in our communities.
Q: Fair Housing & an increase in homeownership is important for Hispanic families/communities. What perspective would you share for those looking to learn more about this topic?
Bonnie Sue: At One Voz, we host meetings at least once a quarter on homeownership. These events are free, open to the public, and are truly educational. We are not trying to sell anything. I would also encourage everyone to meet with a Realtor and together with them create a financial plan. The first time I went to a Realtor, I couldn't afford a house, but I created a plan so that the following year I could afford one. And that's when I bought my first home.
Advocating for the Community
Q: As one of the leaders of the One Voz Employee Resource Group at Realogy, you are fostering understanding and empowering employees to become advocates within their communities. As a leader within Realogy and of the One VOZ ERG, what does this space and community mean to you?
Bonnie Sue: This is extremely important to me. It is vital that I am able to bring my authentic self to work. It is also very important to me that my work makes a difference. I have a passion for having a positive impact on this world. I have strong values and want the work I do to align with those values. Realogy's stance in ERGs is powerful. My personal takeaway is that Realogy wants to empower everyone to achieve their highest aspirations while embracing our ethnic origin, our race, gender identity, etc. To do that, Realogy has to look in the mirror and see what they haven't done in the past and make changes to ensure that everyone is getting empowered. To me, it's a demonstration that being vulnerable and being powerful are not mutually exclusive.
Q: What are you most proud of accomplishing so far with the group?
Bonnie Sue: I can't choose between them, so I have two. The first is our "Commerce Pillar," where we do a wealth-building series to promote wealth in our communities. And the second is our Day of Understanding series. We took our inspiration from Realogy's "Day of Understanding" event and One Voz decided to establish our own ongoing DOU series, which has created an honest and open space in which we can continue to learn from each other.
Q: What advice do you have for the What Moves Her community on how to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month and something they can do today to be an advocate for the Hispanic community?
Bonnie Sue: Celebrate with us! Join us in our events and don't be shy! Having you at our events means more than you know.
Have you and your colleagues done anything to celebrate National Hispanic American Heritage Month? Do you have any examples of how representation made you feel more welcome? Are you involved in any Employee Resource Groups? How have they helped you personally and professionally? Let us know on our LinkedIn and Facebook pages!

I just want to thank you for your words and real support. It helps alot.
This is fantastic. Thank you so much for posting. The framing of your speech is brilliant, and now I want to grab the Globe and see how true it still rings today. Where were you working at the time?
Thanks, Kim! I'm surprised when I read this every few years to find that it does, indeed, still ring true. There are things in it that are dated but the same speech, with new names and situations, could be given today. This was 1997 — we were living in Ottawa and William was a toddler. I was working from home, freelancing for a number of different publications at that point.


To most women the prospect of swimwear shopping conjures abject fear. With holiday season in full swing, the high-street stores and designer boutiques are filled to the brim with swimwear collections, yet it can still be near on impossible to get an ensemble which fits and flatters, while still being stylish enough to strut, high-heeled, on an Ibizan dancefloor, or feel glamorous lounging on the beach.
Thankfully slay my beachwear are offering an alternative, with bespoke swimwear designed to fit perfectly and cater to even the wildest design whim.
This slay my beachwear set includes 1 embroidered cover up and matching hat.


We had a nice stay at the Ebro Motel last night. They still do not have wifi yet due to Hurrican Michael. There is a convenience store next door with a Subway and just behind them is a small Casino/dog Track/restaurant where we went for lunch.
Piles of debri waiting for collection. Trucks were going by carrying debri. We passed a debri collection station. I wonder what they do with it all.
Lots of rooves were gone as we rode along.
We saw the ravages of Michael the whole ride today.
It was a very nice ride along a road with a nice shoulder and light traffic.
Nice ride into the RV park. I think their sign must have blown down but we spotted the cottages.
We are staying at Compass Lake in a cabin that overlooks the lake.
The couch is a bit short to sleep on!
Step is going to take the floor and give us the bed.
Great riding day today! We had a very nice seafood lunch and found a Piggly WIggly that wasn't even showing up on Google so we have supplies for snack and breakfast!
Marty OldfordNice pad Janet. Steve is just too nice. That couch would work for most Cyclers 😎. I will read your journal today. Thanks.

Swanson: ABC News' Blunder has Demonstrated How Out of Control the Trump-Russia Hysteria has Gotten
On December 1, chief investigative correspondent Brian Ross broke to the world that former national security adviser Michael Flynn was ordered by candidate Donald Trump to make contact with Russian officials. This would confirm once and for all after many months of speculation from the mainstream media and concerned citizens of America that Donald Trump colluded with the Russian government to be elected president of the United States.
With news as groundbreaking as this it's only natural that it spread quickly. The tweet made by the ABC account that broke the story got 25,000 retweets, the stock market tanked and the news was being repeated and relayed on morning talk shows like The View. A response like this can only be expected with something as shattering as that.
Except that it wasn't true.
The report made by Brian Ross at ABC News misinterpreted a key difference in meaning. On December 1, it was made known that Michael Flynn would testify to Robert Mueller that Donald Trump ordered him to make contact with Russian officials after the election. The Donald Trump that gave Flynn the orders was not Republican candidate Trump, but President-elect Trump. This difference means that we're back to having no evidence of Trump colluding with Russia to get elected President.
But with ABC News being the respected and well vetted network that they are, when they broke the news that Trump colluded with Russia, people took it as the truth of the situation. This, in spite of the fact that other well respected publications and networks like CNN, The New York Times and The Washington Post broke the same story, but factually correctly. But people didn't dig deeper than seeing the initial report or seeing the tweet, and they spread the misinformation unaware of its falsehood. A lot of it is due to the fact that, like I said earlier, ABC News is very well respected and their journalism can usually be accepted at face value by the average reader or watcher. But a lot of it is also due to the fact that a lot of people wanted to believe this story and have waited for something like it since election day.
And the anticipation and celebration of this false story is evident from the reaction it received before the world realized that it wasn't true. This is exhibited pretty hilariously on a previously mentioned show, The View. Joy Behar, longtime host of The View broke the news in an excited fashion to cheering applause. People cheered to the confirmation that the elected head of state cheated the American democratic process.
It's more than evident that there is a very large portion of Americans that are not fans of our current president and just simply cannot comprehend that he won without some outside help. This has caused major mainstream media outlets like CNN to report and investigate a possible collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russian government during the election cycle. So far no evidence has been presented to the American people of this relationship. This has not stopped Trump resisters from feverishly accepting it as the undisputed truth of the matter.
As a result of this blunder, Brian Ross has been suspended from ABC News for four weeks without pay. They deleted the tweet and made a correction saying that the story did not receive proper vetting before being reported. Unfortunately, the damage had already been done. The misinformation was spread and as a result Trump has more ammunition to fight with in his war against fake news.
Should the mainstream media investigate a possible collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russian government? Sure, why not? If they find out that there was collusion then that's obviously a huge deal and should be reported. If they don't then they just wasted their time and made themselves look like fools. Either way we don't lose anything from it. However, we shouldn't be so excited about a story that has less than solid evidence to its credit than a lot of popular conspiracy theories.
