Phishers Target Facebook to Harvest User Data
Facebook dominated attempts to phish unsuspecting netizens in the first quarter of the year, accounting for 60% of all social network phishing attacks during the period, according to Kaspersky Lab.
The Russian AV vendor claimed in its Spam and phishing in Q1 2018 report to have blocked 3.6 million attempts to visit fraudulent social media pages.
Following Facebook, Russian social platform VK (21%), and LinkedIn (13%) were most commonly spoofed — with victims tricked into handing over names, log-ins, and even credit card numbers.
The reasons are pretty straightforward: cyber-criminals follow the money, and with over two billion active monthly users, there's more opportunity to generate revenue by spoofing one the world's most popular social networks.
Overall, the main targets for phishers remain internet portals, banks, online stores and payment services, with financial phishing the most popular (44%) type, according to the report.
Crypto-currency ICOs also represent a potentially lucrative event for cyber-criminals to leverage.
Around £26,000 was stolen through a phishing site claiming to offer investment opportunities for a rumored Telegram ICO, while £62,000 was stolen from victims via a single phishing email linked to the launch of "The Bee Token" ICO, Kaspersky Lab claimed.
The vendor also warned users of an increase in fake GDPR privacy notices, which require users to fill in their details in order to 'access' their accounts.
"We urge users to pay close attention to the new regulation and carefully study any notifications related to it," it added. "Links should be checked before clicking: they should not contain redirects to third-party sites or domains unrelated to the service on whose behalf the message was sent."
Germany was the number one target of malicious emails (15%) followed by Russia (6%) and the UK (5%).
However, the country with the largest percentage of users affected by phishing attacks in Q1 2018 was Brazil (19%).

Behold, I Make All Things New
By Devdutt Pattanaik (Author)
In 2015, a historic panel discussion took place at the global Festival of Theology held in Sweden. Its objective was to examine what the sacred texts of the Abrahamic faiths - Judaism, Christianity and Islam - had to say about human sexuality. Behold, I Make All Things New is the outcome of the effort. This is a landmark work that recasts religion - especially Abrahamic faiths - as an ally and not an adversary of queer emancipation, and thus significantly informs the secular and legal movements for LGBTQ rights around the world. It follows in the same vein as I Am Divine, So Are You (2017), which put forth perspectives on sexuality from the Karmic faiths of Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism and Hinduism, and played a small but significant role in the reading down of Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code. Taken together, the two groundbreaking books expand the conversation between world religions and human sexuality to a truly global level.

If you have broken iPhones that you do not want to repair, you might want to find a person that can buy broken iPhones. Sometimes, you might not have the time to take or mail your broken iPhone to a repairer. You might as well prefer buying a new iPhone instead of repairing a broken one. Whatever the case, you can find a person or a company that is ready to buy your broken iPhones. Selling broken iPhone is a good idea because it ensures that they do not depreciate in value. It also enables you to avoid keeping the iPhones in a drawer where they continue to collect dust. Throwing broken iPhones away will only contribute to environmental degradation.
Perhaps, everybody in your family has upgraded to the latest iPhone model. Many people are exciting about the idea of upgrading to the newest iPhone model. As such, it is not a surprise to find a family where every member buys the latest iPhone model. In that case, you canuse the guidelines to sell iPhone 4 together including the ones that have been damaged. Perhaps, one of your iPhone has a broken screen. Maybe you have an iPhone that has a low battery life problem. Another iPhone can have scratches. Regardless of the nature of the damage, you can sell the iPhones and make money from their sale.
To get more money from the sale of broken iPhones, consider repairing them first. Usually, broken iPhones will not fetch higher prices especially for selling iPhones, they are inspected for technical defaults and cosmetic flaws. If the damage of the iPhones is extensive, you will earn little money from them. The best thing is that choose the best palce to sell iphone.

New white paper shows innovative buildings are cost-effective solution for education sector
By Rachel Baker March 9, 2015 October 27th, 2017 Education, Sport & Leisure
Home | Education | New white paper shows innovative buildings are cost-effective solution for education sector
SCHOOLS and colleges looking to extend their facilities are being urged to consider an innovative building solution.
The cost of new development has become prohibitive for many educational establishments operating under the constraints of a tight budget.
And that can create a big problem for those faced with increasing demand for places.
Scott Jameson, managing director of Spaciotempo, said: "Many educational establishments need extra space but find the cost of large-scale development work prohibitive.
"They might require new sports facilities, have a need to extend classrooms or simply want more room to cope with increased numbers of pupils.
"Our temporary buildings can put those projects within reach for the first time.
"And though some governing bodies opt for a temporary structure over one or two years, our buildings can become a longer-term solution if needs are likely to persist."
Spaciotempo buildings are all highly durable and meet British Safety Standards – some have been in use for more than 25 years.
And with minimal ground works required, structures of almost any size or shape can be up and running within a matter of weeks.
As market leaders in the design, manufacture and installation of temporary structures, Spaciotempo are well placed to help schools and colleges get the most from their site.
Alongside outright purchase and hire, Spaciotempo provides the alternative of an operating lease – a contract in which the school pays rental for the use of a structure without taking a majority of ownership risk.
Mr Jameson added: "The operating lease is one of our most popular and affordable options for schools who do not have the capital budget to fund the acquisition.
"By helping to keep monthly costs low, an operating lease contract can make a huge difference to the education sector – whether they have a short or longer-term requirement.
"Repayments can be classed as an operating expense and therefore won't form part of a capital expenditure plan."
By providing a complete service, from initial enquiry through to aftersales and maintenance, the company offers a single-source solution which ensures a consistent approach.
That's the case at Nottingham University, where Spaciotempo buildings are providing high-tech facilities for students during work on a new £40 million sports centre.
The Staffordshire-based company is providing an interim solution while the building work, expected to last two years, is carried out.
Spaciotempo are managing the entire project which includes all ground work and the installation of several buildings along with drainage, flooring, electrical equipment, heating, fixtures and fittings.
Mr Jameson said: "Temporary buildings can play a vital role for schools and colleges and we can guide them along every step of the way.
"Our experts will carry out site visits and talk through all the options to ensure each project is just right for individual customers."

Q: How to change the where clause and append at the same time using SELECT statement in SQL Server? sect<-c("Healthcare","Basic Materials","Utilities","Financial Services","Technology","Consumer"
"Defensive","Industrials","Communication Services","Energy","Real Estate","Consumer
Cyclical","NULL")

mcap<-c("3 - Large","2 - Mid","1 - Small")

df_total = data.frame()
start <- as.Date("01-01-14",format="%d-%m-%y")
end   <- as.Date("18-03-20",format="%d-%m-%y")
theDate <- start

while (theDate <= end){
  for (value1 in sect){
    for (value2 in mcap){
        date=theDate
        sector<-value1
        marketcap1<-value2
        newquery("Select * from table where date='%s' and sector='%s' and
        marketcap='%s'",date,sector,marketcap1)
        topdemo <- sqlQuery(dbhandle,newquery)
        df=data.frame(topdemo)
        df_total <- rbind(df_total,df)

 }
}
theDate <- theDate + 1
}

How to loop this code in SQL Server so that the execution time is not too long and append it to the same select statement? I need to loop the query in SQL so that it goes through every date, market cap, and sector and compute certain things. At last, the appended query will be written in the database.
Note: the Select query shown above is just a sample query. In my work, I'm doing a lot of computations using SQL.
Note: I cant use 'between' or 'In' command because in my computation Im taking an average of a column on that particular date, sector, and market cap. If I use 'between' for dates it is going to take an average of all the dates given.

A: You can use the BETWEEN operator in SQL to check for a range of dates.
where date between '%s' and '%s'

And you can use the IN operator to check for presence of item on a list.
and sector in ('%s', '%s', ...)

You can produce a character string with all your sectors in R, surrounded by double quotes and separated by commas, by doing the following statement, so it's easy to insert it in your SQL query.
sector.list <- paste0(sapply(sect, function(x) paste0("'", x, "'")), collapse = ", ")

print(sector.list)

Output
[1] "'Healthcare', 'Basic Materials', 'Utilities', 'Financial Services', 'Technology', 'Consumer', 'Defensive', 'Industrials', 'Communication Services', 'Energy', 'Real Estate', 'Consumer Cyclical', 'NULL'"

Same thing applies for mcap.
**** Regarding extracting the mean or other aggregates ***
Now if you don't want all the details from the database, but simply the mean or a given column, you can group your data by the desired fields (date, sector and mcap) and extract the average like:
SELECT avg(desired_column)
FROM (... your query here...)
GROUP BY data, sector, mcap

Doing an introductory course on SQL is highly advised.

In March 2012 the RLF hosted their most courageous Event yet. In celebration of bravery throughout the market research industry, a series of awards were given to those who demonstrated the sheer guts and will to battle on in the face of criticism and steadfast opposition. The Ginny Valentine Badge of Courage awards took place with a live panel of expert judges (all researchers or clients), who explained their reasons for honouring those courageous individuals.
In these inaugural awards, we heard stories of researchers threatened with violence, those who gave up everything they had for what they believe in, and even a researcher armed only with a Big Sofa! We're sure Ginny would be proud of those awarded the badge, and we hope that those there on the night felt proud too. With our ultimate goal of research liberation, it was only right that we should stop for a moment and celebrate those brave few who can show us how it's really done.
The Ginny Valentine Badge of Courage Awards will return in early 2013, where more people will have their bravery recognised, and their courage honoured.
who truly deserve our praise.

New Development Model: How Does Oslo Fit with Visual Studio 2010?
RDN Editor Kathleen Richards talks with Microsoft's Kris Horrocks.
By Kathleen Richards
Earlier this month, Microsoft refreshed its January "Oslo" community technology preview. With Visual Studio 2010 Beta 1 around the corner, how does "Oslo," the domain modeling platform previewed at the Professional Developers Conference (PDC), fit with the new modeling tools in Visual Studio 2010 Team System Architecture Edition and the existing DSL Toolkit?
RDN Editor Kathleen Richards talked with Kris Horrocks, senior product manager for Microsoft's developer platform team, in February to learn more about Oslo and how the emerging platform fits into Microsoft's tools strategy.
RDN: What's new in the January CTP?
Horrocks: We have taken a lot of time since PDC to really stabilize this preview and then we've done a fair number of modifications and updates to the M programming language based on the community review we've had so far. There is actually a list of all the specific language constructs that are now supported and so forth. The other part that is updated in the CTP is within our repository. There's a greater number of out-of-the-box models already in the repository compared to what was there at PDC.
Is "M" considered one language or multiple languages?
We're in the process of transitioning to talk about it as one language. Some of the feedback that we've gotten from PDC was that trying to talk about it as three different languages was unnecessarily complex. So at PDC we were referring to MGraph, MGrammar and MSchema and what we have chosen to do moving forward is to really just refer to those as three capabilities of the "M" language. And we found the technical reality is...that those three capabilities are merging to all be available through a common language.
Have you made any other changes since PDC?
It is mostly stability, language enhancements and additional content in a repository. There are also Improvements in our Quadrant development tool, as well. ("Quadrant" was included in the VPC distributed to PDC attendees. However, Microsoft has not released "Quadrant" in any of the CTPs available for download on MSDN.)
How is Quadrant different than the graphical DSL tools that are in Visual Studio?
It is technically a separate shell. We are working in close concert with our Visual Studio team...to understand what the experience needs to be for our customers who are doing some modeling in the DSL Toolkit and some in Oslo.
Is Oslo expected to be part of VS 2010?
Yeah. I think a great way to think about it is -- are you familiar with the project we used to refer to as WinFx? So there was a while when we were referring to WinFx as a codename that basically became Windows Communication Foundation, Workflow Foundation and Presentation Foundation. And then as we got closer to actually shipping, we made some decisions about which part of our existing developer platform to release those in and in that case, it was the .NET Framework.
We fully expect the Olso capabilities to undergo a similar process where today we refer to these three capabilities that are provided by the repository -- the repository, the language, the quadrant -- as Oslo but as we get closer to shipping our customers should expect that these capabilities will flow into their existing development platform and tools.
And that timeframe is the VS 2010 timeframe?
Well, it depends. Right now we are still getting feedback. One of the things with Oslo that we are trying to do is trying to be very early with our engagement with the community. We want to make sure that we get all the feedback that we possibly can about all of these components. And then based on their feedback, we'll chose the right ship vehicle.
Outside of consultants who are working with enterprises, most developers don't get that excited about modeling. What is Microsoft's view of model-driven development? And how does Oslo fit into that strategy?
That's a great question. You know we experience the same kind of reaction from folks when we talk about modeling. What we've observed is that there are parts of our customer base that do a ton of modeling...But you are absolutely right, when you talk to developers, in general, they tend to have a different reaction to the word modeling. Their history has been one that's kind of a love/hate. In some cases, they feel like modeling is this task that's been imposed on them by others. And a lot of them view it much in the way they view documentation, as maybe a necessary evil because of some process their organization follows.
Oslo is attempting to address that perception and actually provide developers with a modeling platform that is very relevant and ultimately core to what they do, which is build applications. And I think that's what differentiates what Oslo hopes to deliver in terms of modeling from a lot of other approaches. It is not to dismiss the value of other approaches, organizations need those as well. But Oslo is focused on providing a platform that allows models to help developers build their applications.
So when we talk about Oslo as it relates to modeling, you'll hear us talk about executable models or model-driven runtime, and that is, while the architectural space is very much focused on conceptual modeling, modeling of ideas that maybe help you get to a starting point for your code...Oslo is really focused on helping developers use models to build their apps.
The way we think Oslo can help is that we're seeing a couple trends in the development platform and tools that developers are already using. If you look at the .NET Framework as an example, there was a period where the evolution of the .NET Framework consisted mostly of the addition of new APIs to address particular capabilities...But in the last couple of years, we've seen that the way the platform is evolving is not just with APIs. What's happening now is that almost every new API and library that's added to development frameworks comes along with an associated data model.
If you look at, for example, Windows Communication Foundation as we saw customers wanting to build more and more services, and we wanted to provide a platform that gave them a first class notion of service, we delivered WCF, which is certainly an API, but along with Windows Communication Foundation is a really robust data model that is a data format that developers can use to describe how their service should behave. And so to leverage the full power of that framework, there is also this associated data that as a developer you need to understand and be able to use to build your services.
There is a workflow framework, Windows Workflow Foundation, which also defines a data model for workflow. In the Web space, ASP.NET is certainly a framework, but there is also a significant amount of information that actually drives ASP.NET that as a developer you provide through a data model. And so what we are observing is that applications developers are building are no longer just code, they are actually a combination of code and a significant amount of data that exists in config files, databases, registries.
And we believe that while our platform does a great job today of helping them define, manipulate and manage the code aspects of their solution; there isn't much in our platform that provides them a rich way to define, manage and manipulate the models that contain all this data. And so Oslo is looking to evolve our platform, to help increase their productivity in using the models that Microsoft provides that drive our frameworks and also to help developers create their own frameworks that are model driven.
Can you provide some real-world examples of how Oslo might be used?
When we talk to ISVs, a big part of the capability that an ISV needs to provide is for the customers to be able to customize the default behavior of an application. And they need a variety of roles to be able to customize their application, whether it is an IT pro having to configure it or deployment in a specific environment or whether it is a developer trying to create custom workflows that run inside the ISV's application or someone trying to modify some aspect of the user experience of the application.
Today if you look at how ISVs are building those apps, they are basically defining a set of models for whatever part of the app it is that needs to be configurable or customizable.
And what Oslo can do is Oslo can provide, essentially a default set of options with a set of best practices kind of baked in. So for example, the answer to the question of, "Well, what language should I use to define my models, to define the structure of them, the relationships and the constraints?" With Oslo, the default answer is "M." "M" is a language that is designed specifically to address that task. And that can interoperate with the many other languages that organizations are using.
And to answer the question of "Where should I store all these models?" We think the database is a great place to store models, much better in the long run than the file system because you get much more visibility than the query ability that databases provide. The Oslo repository also provides you with baseline architectures for versioning...so that you can easily tell what are your models versus models provided by another organization. It provides baseline architecture for security above and beyond what SQL Server provides out of the box.
The other thing you find in organizations of all sizes -- both ISVs and enterprises -- as soon as they've moved or defined a significant portion of their applications as data either in config or in a database, one of the first things they need to do is provide a user experience to manipulate that data. In the case of developers, they might just expose the raw config file. In the case of IT pros, they generally want some sort of management tooling experience and in the case of business users, they want more office like experience for actually manipulating business rules or business level work flows.
We see Quadrant as initially being a great place for organizations to have a default configuration experience over these models...Today, if you just start, you're your own database. You have to build your own UI on top of that data from scratch and we see that there is a lot of heavy lifting around providing really rich boxes and lines -- an experience that we can provide out-of-the-box through a tool like Quadrant. So that ISVs and enterprises can focus on just customizing that experience for the particular end user they have in mind...
And that end user could be a business type who is not a developer?
We need to be more explicit about what our v1 goals are versus what we see as the longer term vision. Initially, we're focusing on winning the hearts and minds of developers and making modeling very relevant to developers by making their life easier in their day-to-day task of building an app or a service. So, initially you'll see Quadrant have a very developer-centric focus. That is the tools, the models, and the experiences we provide, will focus a lot on domains that are relevant to a developer so as an example, technical workflows, service interfaces, UML, .NET.
However we are building Quadrant as a general purpose UI platform. We're building it to be very extensible. It is in fact kind of the Oslo app -- it is entirely model driven, it runs off of the repository, and we are doing that so that it can over time be opened up to a broader set of roles.
At this point, what should developers be paying attention to in terms of this technology? One thing I hear about Oslo is that it's a ways off.
I think it's a fair question. Today we are in CTP, so we absolutely recommend that customers go in with full recognition that it is early days. We are releasing it early and often so that we can get as much feedback as possible.
I think one of the best things that developers can do today is to look at the frameworks and tools that they are already using, to consciously take note of where they are already using data-driven approaches. And I think if most developers, certainly on our platform, but even on many others, if they look at what they are doing, they will recognize that much of what they are developing is both the code to execute against some framework, but then they are also putting a ton of information in these various data formats.
We think it is really useful for developers and development teams in general to start thinking explicitly, about the structure of those models, the way that they are running their runtime to consume it. And if they are presented with a technology choice between two options, perhaps one that is more data driven than another, if the capabilities are equivalent, we think they should strongly consider moving towards the frameworks that provide that data-driven approach. That is going to set them up in the future for being in a much better position for moving that information into an Oslo-enabled world.

The PALFINGER BM 214: Precision Work in Record Time
Small but powerful - that is the ultra-compact BM 214 truck-mounted forklift from PALFINGER. The forklift recently demonstrated what it can do under time pressure during the upgrade of a substation in Germany.
It's early morning, temperatures are icy and Tirschenreuth in the Upper Palatinate region of Germany is disappearing into thick fog. The Energo Partners team have already started work, because today every minute counts. In order to upgrade a substation as quickly as possible, 32 medium-voltage systems are required on site. The challenge: there is no direct access for the heavily loaded truck at the job site. It's good that they have a PALFINGER BM 214 truck-mounted forklift, that can easily manage the last important meters and position the system components precisely.
Ready to Roll in Less than 30 Seconds
PALFINGER BM 214 truck-mounted forklifts are normally safely stowed in a box between the truck axles. This time, for the upgrade of the Tirschenreuth substation, it was delivered on a car trailer and is fully operational in a record time of less than 30 seconds. For the Energo Partners team, this is a good start to a busy day. After all, their work is supposed to be finished within the same day. With the BM 214, the people on-site are able to quickly unload the 32 medium-voltage systems and transport them straight to where they are needed. This is precision work.
Plenty of Load Capacity to Spare
The BM 214 is not only fast, but also a real powerhouse. The forklift can easily lift its own weight of two tons to a maximum lifting height of 2.85 meters. Therefore, it can easily transport the system components weighing between 700 and 800 kilograms the last few meters over tarmac and uneven gravel paths to the substation. Featuring permanent all-wheel drive and practical articulated steering, the BM 214 is put to the test, but is far from reaching its maximum load capacity.
Remote Control Makes Operation Easy
The decisive advantage of its sophisticated remote-control system was clear during the unloading process. "The remote control for the BM 214 is really perfect for the tasks we handle because it offers me several perspectives. Does the load look ok, and where are the forks? It is easy to check everything around the forklift," explains Bronsilav Felix, from Energo Partners. He adds: "The special design and low overall height of the forklift make it possible to use the BM 214 even in places such as underground car parks." After a few hours, the PALFINGER truck-mounted forklift has completed its mission. Mr. Felix and his team can fully focus on upgrading the substation. Making sure that the lights still go on in Tirschenreuth.

Monsters are coming your way… along with a SHINY BOOK COVER!!
Synopsis: I've always felt like an average girl … except for my strange relationship with death. You could say I like to court it. Whether I'm soaring through the air as a flyer for Specter University's cheer squad, or speeding down the steepest mountain with only grace and balance keeping me from an icy end, I've always needed to feel a rush. But now Death is courting me―in more ways than one. First, there's Rishi, a rogue death deity who has a penchant for annoying me nearly to my grave and whose intense gaze has the power to see right through me. Then there's Hades, who I'd rather had stayed just a myth. Now that he knows I exist, he's not going to leave me alone until I meet the same end as my mother.
They call her the Grim Reaper.
Synopsis: What if the person you were meant to be with could never be yours?
Synopsis: After a freak accident that Shelland Conall can't remember, a strange boy with a snarky attitude shows up on her front porch, shocking her with the realization that he's been following her.
To make matters worse, her stalker claims to be the one that saved her from her unknown brush with death, and he comes bearing an unthinkable truth: someone's been poisoning her.
It's not just any type of poison, but a suppressant disguised as an everyday pill, and it's been specifically crafted to stultify something inside her. The question is, what?
Now, Shelland must learn how to decipher what's real and what's not. She thinks they've both gone crazy. That he's a rambling loony, and she's just as insane for listening, but when his ramblings soon turn to fact, Shelland will have to question everything she's ever known. Who can she trust? Her family, her best friend, or the enigmatic stranger with eyes like ice and a heart to match?


"You're standing in front of an abandoned house. The windows are broken, and you think you see shadows moving around inside. The wild howls. A shiver goes up your spine. It's all scary and enticing.
Go get help (turn to page 15).
I remember as a kid not being much impressed with the actual story. What fascinated me most, of course, was the format. The way it put you in the driver's seat. Before video games, this was one of the first forms of art I could interact with.
Anyway, I've been throwing ideas around in my head, and I think it would be sweet to write a choose-your-own-adventure. But do something a little different with it. Update the genre. Do something that adults would find interesting. Something socially-relevant would be a bonus.
Here are some of the ideas that came to mind.
Open-source collab style This iteration is based on the idea that each "chapter" of the adventure could be written by a different author. For this, I was partially inspired by Douglas Rushkoff's Exit Strategy in which he had strangers on the internet write the footnotes of his already-conceptually-dense novel. But my version is different in that every chapter would actually be written by a different person. You could do this "pyramid style": One person writes the first chapter, which branches into three options. So, the first author has to find three friends to write the next three chapters. Each of those people has to find a couple more friends to continue the story, and so on. (Of course, there would have to be guidelines set ahead of time, like broad limitations on word count and content; but those are just details.) Alternatively, this could be done totally open-source-style, like a wiki, where total strangers can go in and write or edit. At a certain point, though, there would have to be a head author who has final say.
Fractal reality style In this iteration, the novel is written by multiple people like in the previous iteration, but the main difference is that instead of the novel following one character, you actually jump from character to character as the story progresses. The reader can choose what character to jump to at any given point in the story. The challenge would be to actually succeed in telling a cohesive story while jumping around from character to character. (It wouldn't be necessary, but there could be a sci-fi explanation of how these jumps are occurring; for example, "you" are actually a mind-virus that can jump hosts. When you're in one host, you see the world through their eyes, but when they sneeze, you actually jump to a new host.) The sweet thing about this approach is that you'd be able to "live" as many different characters: he who seemed reprehensible from one character's perspective, might turn out to be understandable when you see the world through his eyes.
And even sweeter turn on this same idea: have each new character written by an author who is similar to them. For example, the policeman character could be written by an actual policeman. The teacher, by an actual teacher. The child, by an actual child. The authors would be essentially writing about themselves; what they would do if they were part of this story.


Radical whole-tradition communitarianism results in the most radical prescriptions, since it nullifies all rights claims and counsels a return to separate communities to work out a shared ethic. As we have seen, most communitarians have far more subtle prescriptions for facilitating the kind of public deliberation that they seek.
There are few attempts in the literature by communitarians to directly deduce conclusions from communitarian premises. One might expect that communitarians will be more sympathetic to the common good in weighing solutions to ethical problems. It is true that some communitarians have favored aggressive approaches to organ procurement for transplantation (Nelson), mandatory rationing to resolve resource-allocation problems (Callahan, 1990), and public health concerns over individual privacy and choice (Etzioni). However, none of these positions are necessarily entailed by communitarian sympathies as one can easily argue that these same policies foster values the community should reject. As a result, communitarianism continues to be an approach to bioethics that is more about process than particular outcomes.

Global Alteration of Ocean Ecosystem Functioning due to Increasing Human CO2 Emissions.
By Science Daily
University of Adelaide 12 October 2015
Theme: Environment
In-depth Report: Climate Change
A world-first global analysis of marine responses to climbing human CO2 emissions has painted a grim picture of future fisheries and ocean ecosystems.
Published today in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), marine ecologists from the University of Adelaide say the expected ocean acidification and warming is likely to produce a reduction in diversity and numbers of various key species that underpin marine ecosystems around the world.
"This 'simplification' of our oceans will have profound consequences for our current way of life, particularly for coastal populations and those that rely on oceans for food and trade," says Associate Professor Ivan Nagelkerken, Australian Research Council (ARC) Future Fellow with the University's Environment Institute.
Associate Professor Nagelkerken and fellow University of Adelaide marine ecologist Professor Sean Connell have conducted a 'meta-analysis' of the data from 632 published experiments covering tropical to artic waters, and a range of ecosystems from coral reefs, through kelp forests to open oceans.
"We know relatively little about how climate change will affect the marine environment," says Professor Connell. "Until now, there has been almost total reliance on qualitative reviews and perspectives of potential global change. Where quantitative assessments exist, they typically focus on single stressors, single ecosystems or single species.
"This analysis combines the results of all these experiments to study the combined effects of multiple stressors on whole communities, including species interactions and different measures of responses to climate change."
The researchers found that there would be "limited scope" for acclimation to warmer waters and acidification. Very few species will escape the negative effects of increasing CO2, with an expected large reduction in species diversity and abundance across the globe. One exception will be microorganisms, which are expected to increase in number and diversity.
From a total food web point of view, primary production from the smallest plankton is expected to increase in the warmer waters but this often doesn't translate into secondary production (the zooplankton and smaller fish) which shows decreased productivity under ocean acidification.
"With higher metabolic rates in the warmer water, and therefore a greater demand for food, there is a mismatch with less food available for carnivores ─ the bigger fish that fisheries industries are based around," says Associate Professor Nagelkerken. "There will be a species collapse from the top of the food chain down."
The analysis also showed that with warmer waters or increased acidification or both, there would be deleterious impacts on habitat-forming species for example coral, oysters and mussels. Any slight change in the health of habitats would have a broad impact on a wide range of species these reefs harbour.
Another finding was that acidification would lead to a decline in dimethylsulfide gas (DMS) production by ocean plankton which helps cloud formation and therefore in controlling Earth's heat exchange.

Township Records at the Nova Scotia Archives
Exploring this Resource
New England Planters at the Public Archives of Nova Scotia
Barry Cahill, "New England Planters at the Public Archives of Nova Scotia," in Margaret Conrad, ed. They Planted Well: New England Planters in Maritime Canada (Fredericton, 1988) pp. 120-131. Abridged and reprinted with the permission of the author.
The arrival in Nova Scotia of thousands of New Englanders, towards the end of the French and Indian War and the declaration of peace among the European powers, was the fourth great demographic event in the history of British Nova Scotia — the first being the founding of Halifax in 1749; the second the immigration of German and Swiss Protestants in the early 1750s; the third, the expulsion of most of the indigenous Acadian population in 1755, which created both the need and the opportunity for emigration from New England. Given the breadth and diversity of the subject, I shall confine my attention to the period when the Planter townships came into being, i.e., 1759 to 1764; to those townships located in peninsular Nova Scotia or in the trans-border area; and mainly — though not exclusively — to contemporary original documents which are available either as hard copy or on microform at PANS.
The New England Planters were not an accidental phenomenon, but a deliberately planned result of official British government policy for Nova Scotia. This policy was initiated in Halifax; agreed to and encouraged in Whitehall; and executed mostly in Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island. The very nature of the case seems to require a heavy dependence on government records to research Planter history. In his newly published biography of Bishop Charles Inglis, Brian Cuthbertson makes the point that a common problem which confronts those who attempt to write the history of the Loyalist and post-Loyalist years in Nova Scotia is the necessary over-reliance on official correspondence which results from the scarcity of personal papers1.
What is true for the later period is truer still for the pre-Loyalist. The farther back in Nova Scotia's history one goes, the fewer documents of a non-governmental nature one is likely to encounter. It is just possible, however, to lessen the harmful effects of this over-reliance on government records by making allowances for the bias inherent in them. Authors of documents, whether writing as private individuals or as government officials, had vested interests or axes to grind, and their point of view is reflected in which subjects they addressed; what they said about them; how they said it; and whom they said it to.
Planter history may be considered to have begun in October 1758, when Governor Charles Lawrence issued a proclamation soliciting proposals from would-be settlers and providing a description of the lands. A copy of this document was forwarded by Lawrence to the Lords of Trade, and is among the Colonial Office Papers in the Public Record Office in London2. This first proclamation has always been overshadowed by the longer and more detailed second proclamation of 11 January 1759, which was issued in response to the various questions raised by the first, and which prospective settlers had been asking of Lawrence's agents at Boston and New York — concerning "particular encouragement," the bounty of provisions, quantity of land, quit rent, form of government, taxes and religious toleration.
Copies of the second proclamation are to be found among Colonial Office Papers;3 among House of Assembly papers collected and bound by the Records Commission,4 predecessor of the Public Archives of Nova Scotia; and in a volume of miscellaneous proclamations collected by the Records Commission.5 Both proclamations, of course, were entered verbatim in the minute-book of the Council at Halifax.6 The number of copies of this document which are available at PANS indicates both its contemporary administrative value, and its perceived importance by archivists conversant with history — not only the province's, but also their own family's. Thomas Beamish Akins (1809-1891), the Records Commissioner, was himself the grandson of an original grantee of one of the Planter townships.7
Governor Lawrence's plan called for thirteen townships of 100,000 acres, twelve square miles, each to be settled over a period of three years with 2,550 families or 12,750 individuals.8 The township was a quintessential New England concept which had been introduced into Nova Scotia by emigrants from Massachusetts soon after the founding of Halifax. It was a model which could not altogether be dispensed with — the farthest thing from Lawrence's mind, of course, was that public officials in the new townships might be elected at a meeting of freeholders rather than appointed by himself — because the township was the fundamental institution of local government in New England, and was therefore a necessary inducement to prospective settlers.9 Such a structure generated its own types of record; not only the township grant, but also the township book, which was both the minute-book of meetings, and the official register of vital statistics, proprietors, lots, cattle marks, etc. It is understandable, therefore, that Planter history has traditionally been studied township by township within a county, and family by family within a township.
PANS holdings of Planter township books include Annapolis, Barrington, Chester, Cornwallis, Cumberland, Falmouth, Granville, Horton, Liverpool, Newport, Onslow, Sackville, Truro and Yarmouth.10 Several of these documents go back to the very beginning of Planter settlement, and indeed beyond — into New England, whence the Planters themselves came; others date from the 1700s or later. PANS holdings consist for the most part of microfilm copies or transcripts; the originals often are held either privately or in the custody of a town or municipal office or the county courthouse — or at a national or local repository other than PANS. The Granville and Newport township books, for example, are at the National Archives in Ottawa.11 The Cumberland township book is at Fort Beauséjour National Historic Park. The originals of six Planter township books are at PANS: Cornwallis, Falmouth, Liverpool, Truro and Yarmouth in MG 4,12 and Onslow in RG 113 — the only such document to be preserved in that collection.
The thirteen original townships projected by Governor Lawrence in 1759 were Horton, Cornwallis, Falmouth, Onslow, Granville, Annapolis, Cumberland, Amherst, Sackville, Tinmouth, Liverpool, Barrington and Yarmouth.14 Omissions from the list rather beg the question of whether, for the sake of definition, a New England Planter had to be a native of New England. Onslow, and then Londonderry and Truro — the Cobequid townships — were settled by Ulstermen who had been brought out to New England by Alexander McNutt. Tinmouth, moreover, was still born, though to be resurrected in 1762 as (New) Dublin Township and settled, again, by Northern Irish who Colonel McNutt had this time brought over directly from Ulster. Also to be added to the list of those Planter townships which were erected after 1759 are Chester (or Shoreham), Newport (or East Falmouth) and Wilmot.
Among the oversize manuscript documents in PANS are the original grants of all the Planter townships in peninsular Nova Scotia except Amherst, Barrington, Cumberland, Falmouth, Newport, Wilmot and Yarmouth.15 The township grant per se describes the boundaries and names the grantees; registered or "effective" grants may be found in the Land Grant books, which are on microfilm at PANS,16 the originals being at the provincial Crown Lands Records Centre in Dartmouth. Difficulties with filling up the number of grantees, or with processing the township grants, meant that there were often two grants, and, in the case of Cumberland, as many as three. Elsewhere in the Crown Lands papers at PANS are brief statistical reports from the early 1760s of Cornwallis, Falmouth and Horton Townships.17
In terms of the sheer survival of records, pride of place undoubtedly belongs to Horton Township, which is better represented in PANS holdings than any of the other Planter townships. The original grant of Horton Township was dated 22 May 1759. A copy of this document was sent by Governor Lawrence to the Lords of Trade, who subsequently appended it to their long and detailed "Representation" to the King on the subject of filling vacant Acadian lands with settlers from New England.18 RG 1, Volume 362, for example, is a register of grants for the township, arranged by the grantee, in 197 folios, with a contemporary index at the beginning. Volume 177 is a seventy-page book of abstracts from the registrar's office at Horton, between 1765 and 1775. It gives the date of registration; the names of the parties and the date of the deed; the lands conveyed, and for what price an arrangement made all the more accessible by a contemporary index at the beginning by name of conveyor. The Horton township book is extant, though apparently in private hands. PANS has both a microfilm copy of the original, and a nineteenth-century transcription.19
Elsewhere in RG 1 are documents which concern the Planter townships, among others, more or less as a group. Pre-eminent among them are the "General Return of Townships," made in 1767, and the Census of 1770, both in Volume 443. The former covers thirty townships in Nova Scotia and what is now New Brunswick, including all the Planter communities. Cumulative statistical data is given for each township in six principal categories, which are then divided and subdivided. Under the subject heading "Numbers in each Family" is entered how many males and females. Under "Religion," Protestant and Roman Catholic. Under "Country of Origin," English, Scotch, Irish, Americans, German and other foreigners, and Acadians. Under "Stock and Substance," cattle, mills and vessels. Under "Produce of the last Year," the various grains, etc., in bushels, hundredweight and barrels. Under "Alteration of Inhabitants since last year," the number born, died, arrived and left the province.
Apart from the necessary addition of the "Name of master or mistress of the family," the subject headings for the Census of 1770 are nearly identical to those on the General Return of 1767. There are fewer statistical subdivisions, however, especially as regards the composition of households. The seventeen extant returns for 1770 include all the Planter townships except Chester, Cornwallis, Liverpool, Newport and Wilmot. The return for Yarmouth, however, is dated 1773. The General Return of 1767 and the Census of 1770 notwithstanding, the "return" or "state" documents the early history of the Planter townships.
Volumes 221 and 222, two of a long series in RG 1 entitled "Manuscript Documents of Nova Scotia," run from 1751 to 1791, and from 1757 to 1781, respectively, and contain diverse material on most of the Planter townships. Volume 222, with more than ninety Planter-related items, is especially valuable. There are lists of proprietors and lots; memorials, reports, returns, warrants and writs of partition. Each of these volumes has been fully calendared.20
Volume 359 contains lists of grantees, draft grants, memoranda, memorials and petitions dating from 1759 — relating to Horton, Cornwallis, Granville, Cumberland, Onslow, Truro, Liverpool and Chester. The second part of Volume 360 is a fifty-page register of grantees arranged alphabetically by township. Compiled in 1760 or 1761, the register gives the proprietor's name, the township and, in some cases, the number of shares. All but three of the original thirteen townships are represented. Volume 361 is made up of papers connected with the partition of the townships of Falmouth, Horton, Newport, Yarmouth, Chester and Onslow. There are lists of grantees; writs of partition issued out of the Supreme Court at Halifax; and petitions requesting them. Of particular interest is an undated document in the handwriting of Isasc Deschamps entitled, "A List of the Grantees in the Township of Falmouth with the Numbers and Contents of the Respective Lots drawn by, or allotted to them, in the Several Divisions agreed on by the Proprietors." Precise information about the size and distribution of the lots is given under eight different headings.21
Volume 374 a so-called "Land Book" of about three hundred pages, covers the years 1760 through 1767 and gives both the names of proprietors and descriptions and boundaries of township grants. There is an alphabetical list by name of township at the end. Unfortunately, the first fifty pages or so are missing.
Volume 473½ is a two-hundred-page alphabetical and chronological index to Crown grants of land in Nova Scotia from 1725 to 1768. Though neither contemporary nor original, this document is a finding aid appropriately limited in scope and handily divided into five parts, each part having its own alphabetical arrangement with the names in chronological order. The second, third and fourth parts, which cover the years 1759 through 1763, are especially useful to Planter historians. The information given includes the name of the grantee; number of acres and district; date of grant or conveyance; and book and page where recorded. The cumulative Crown land grants index for 1730 through 1937, on the other hand, which researchers normally consult, distinguishes only among the names of the grantees; there are no periodic subdivisions.
Volume 204 contains the minutes of Council from May 1761 to September 1763 relative to Crown grants of land. Though not specifically concerned with Planters, this volume nevertheless contains much useful information about them, often in the form of petitions presented to the Council and summarized or abstracted in the minute-book. The latter part of it may be used in conjunction with the land papers in the first box of RG 20, Series A. These commence in 1763, and consist of petitions, warrants of survey, draft grants, etc.
Of continuous importance and interest, especially for establishing the broad historical context from an official or quasi-official perspective, are not only the Halifax and Whitehall dispatches in CO 217 and 218,22 respectively; but also the Executive Council minutes,23 "inland" letter-books,24 and miscellaneous Assembly Papers in RG 1 and RG 5, Series A.25 Halifax dispatches for the years 1759 through 1764 frequently describe in detail the progress of the Planter townships and enclose documents, such as returns, which are concerned with specific townships.
A dispatch from Lieutenant-Governor Jonathan Belcher to the Lords of Trade in September 1762, for example, enclosed returns for inhabitants and livestock form Yarmouth Township, Barrington Township and the area in between.26 The names of householders and numbers in each family were given, together with a "General Return of the Inhabitants in the Several Townships Settled at Cape Sable." A dispatch in January of the same year enclosed an eighteen-page "Description of the Several Towns in the Province of Nova Scotia...," which had been drawn up by Surveyor — General Charles Morris in 1761. This work concluded with an abstract showing the number of inhabitants and acreage of cleared upland marsh in each township.27 Comparable with this is a statistical return from 1763, which analyzed each of the nineteen townships — fourteen were Planter — under number of families; and acreage of marshland, cleared upland and woodland.28
Despite limitations of space, and my declared emphasis on government records at the various levels — imperial, provincial and township — it would not be possible to leave the subject of the Planters at the Public Archives of Nova Scotia without mentioning the unique "Chipman Papers" in MG 1, Volumes 181-218. The title of this collection may not perhaps be the best guide to its provenance, as the papers are by no means confined to the Rhode Island Planter, Handley Chipman, and his descendants — many of whom were prominent in the official life of Kings County. The collection seems to have originated with the Connecticut Planter Robert Denison, whose name is first among the grantees of Horton township.29 Denison was a judge of the Common Pleas and was elected Member of the House of Assembly for Kings County in 1761; already an elderly man when he came to Nova Scotia, his brief official career is well documented in the Chipman Papers.
This magnificent collection covers a century of Planter history, articulated through different townships and families and types of record. Represented are not only the Kings County townships of Horton and Cornwallis, but also, at least until 1781, two of the three townships which were joined together to create the new county of Hants: Falmouth and Newport. Thematically, the papers range over the whole gamut of official life in the Planter townships on Minas Basin. So numerous are the examples of the various types of record generated in the 1760s and 1770s by local government — the Court of Sessions — and the administration of justice, whether by the Inferior Court of Common Pleas or by the Supreme Court on circuit, that the distinction between government records and family papers is effectively blurred.
In the Chipman collection are the papers, both public and private, of individuals who held government office in Kings County; the collection very precisely documents their activity as office-holders, because it often contains the records of the bodies in which they served. Indeed, one might even say that the Chipman Papers preserve the records of township government in Horton, Cornwallis, Falmouth and Newport in the first two decades of their existence. Facilitating access to the thirty-seven boxes of documents is a two-volume content report, which has itself been indexed, in three parts, by the Kings Historical Society. What is undoubtedly the most important collection of its kind has therefore been made easily accessible.
On a much smaller scale than the Chipman Papers — they require only a single box — are the Deschamps Papers in MG 1, Volume 258. Isaac Deschamps, of course, was not a New England Planter, but rather a "foreign Protestant" who came to Halifax in 1749. He nevertheless was one of the original grantees of Newport Township in 1761; represented Falmouth and then Newport in the House of Assembly for over twenty years; and was intimately involved in Planter affairs in Kings County in the 1760s and 1770s. Like Robert Denison, he was made a judge of the Common Pleas in 1761, and held "numerous minor offices in the administrations of several townships."30
Appointed a judge of the Supreme Court in 1770, Deschamps continued to travel regularly to Horton, which, as the seat of government for Kings County, was one of the original stations on the Supreme Court circuit. Several Planter townships are represented in the Deschamps Papers, just as Deschamps himself appears in the voluminous Chipman Papers. Of particular value is a "Return of the families settled in the Townships of Horton, Cornwallis, Falmouth and Newport... together with the Numbers of persons said families consist of and their Stock of Cattle and Grain and Roots raised the present year 1763."31 Statistical information is given here under twelve different headings.
Allowing for the official or at least semi-official nature of both the Deschamps Papers and the Chipman Papers, it is necessary to consider two further collections of government records in conjunction with which the latter, especially, can be used. I refer to the General Court of Quarter Sessions of the Peace (RG 34) and to the Inferior Court of Common Pleas (RG 37).32 In no county, even Halifax, have the sessions records survived more extensively than Kings. There is a complete run of proceedings from 1760 to 1890, which includes fees of the clerk of the peace, subpoenas, warrants, assessments, etc. In no county except Halifax, moreover, have the original papers of suits brought before the Inferior Court survived from an earlier period than Kings. The earliest document in the collection is dated 1762; the latest, a docket of judgments, 1780. There is a long run of cases, especially for the years 1764 and 1765, and these have been arranged by year and then alphabetically by plaintiff. There are a few documents from the later 1760s and 1770s, but the major part of what has survived from those years appears to be in the Chipman Papers. The records of the Kings County Court of Sessions and Inferior Court of Common Pleas, not to mention the Supreme Court — after 1774, when the law establishing the circuit was enacted — are therefore complemented by the Chipman Papers. These three collections are all the more important in the 1760s and 1770s, because they comprehend four townships instead of two.
Finding aids at various levels of description facilitate access to most of the collections dealt with thus far. Other useful access points to Planter material in PANS are the "Biography" and "Genealogy" card files, which reference documents or collections of documents concerning both individuals and families. Useful, too is the "Communities" card file, the main entry being the name of the township — whether or not it corresponds to a contemporary place-name. This file provides quick access to records and papers, especially in MG 4 — churches and communities.
Worth mentioning here are the registers of St. Paul's Church, Halifax, which include early records for Newport, Falmouth, Horton and Cornwallis. A special card file, arranged alphabetically by place-name and then by denomination or name of church, greatly facilitates access to church records. The registers of deeds and wills, moreover, which include all the Planter townships, are available on 3,282 reels of microfilm in the PANS Library. Though the extent, condition and organization of these records varies widely from registry to registry, they are a vital research tool — access to which is provided by a descriptive finding aid for both deeds (RG 47) and wills (RG 48).
The greater number and variety of archival sources for the planter townships around Minas Basin, than elsewhere in the province, may be reflected in the fact that the first work of academic scholarship in Planter history was a study entitled "Pre-Loyalist Settlements Around Minas Basin. A History of the Townships of Cornwallis, Horton, Falmouth, Newport, Windsor, Truro, Onslow and Londonderry, 1755-1783." Written in the early 1930s as an MA thesis by James Stuart Martell, a future Assistant Archivist of NS, and under the direction of Professor Daniel Cobb Harvey, then Archivist, more than fifty years after its composition this work could still be described by a leading historical geographer as "a sound study."33 With the exception of CO 217, and other materials available at PANS only on microfilm, the sources used in the preparation of Martell's thesis are the same as those mentioned above.
A survey of archival sources for Planter history rather begs the question of the types of use to which they can be put by historians. Statistical data such as one finds in census returns obviously lends itself to quantitative analysis. The data may be incomplete and inaccurate, however, and there is often no means by which it can be checked — or by which disagreements among contemporary original sources can be resolved. The categories in which statistical data is presented are subjective, moreover, and difficulties arise when evidence derived from such a source is analysed as if it were purely quantitative. The method of presentation is as important as the data itself, and the latter cannot be analysed except in relation to the former.
The use to which government records may have been put in their own time, in other words, their administrative value, is necessarily quite different from the use to which they must be put by historians, who are concerned with their evidential or informational — in other words, historical — value. To interpret or analyse a government record, however, involves understanding the nature and purpose of its creation; the presuppositions and expectations of its creator; and whether it efficiently discharged its administrative function. The record cannot be taken out of context and treated as if its life-cycle had nothing to do with its historical significance. Whether evidence derived from government records is more or less impressionistic and biased than evidence derived from other contemporary original sources, it is the historian's responsibility to classify the evidence — regardless of its origin — and interpret it accordingly.
The business of the archivist, on the other hand, is to identify and preserve the source materials and to facilitate access and retrieval. If the documents no longer exist, then they cannot be used. If they are known to exist, however, but cannot be identified, located or accurately described, then they still cannot be used — at least not to their full potential. By implication, therefore, archivists, whether they manage contemporary records or advise on how they were generated and managed in centuries past, are helping the historian do justice to the evidence. This paper has attempted to show the extent to which the historiography of the New England Planters depends on the sensitive interpretation of government records concerning them.

The fancy footnotes need to be exposed again for all those who were asleep last year, but are now awake
Fancy Footnotes and the Diabolical Inversion of Truth
#AmorisLaetitia
Be patient. There are at least three of these footnote monsters, and I'm pressed for time.
298. The divorced who have entered a new union, for example, can find themselves in a variety of situations, which should not be pigeonholed or fit into overly rigid classifications leaving no room for a suitable personal and pastoral discernment. One thing is a second union consolidated over time, with new children, proven fidelity, generous self giving, Christian commitment, a consciousness of its irregularity and of the great difficulty of going back without feeling in conscience that one would fall into new sins. The Church acknowledges situations "where, for serious reasons, such as the children's upbringing, a man and woman cannot satisfy the obligation to separate. 329
Let's have a look at footnote 329, wherein the Holy Father attempts a diabolical inversion of Truth by referencing two documents, both of which actually say the OPPOSITE or something WHOLLY DIFFERENT from what he is proposing. Here's the footnote:
329 John Paul II, Apostolic Exhortation Familiaris Consortio (22 November 1981), 84: AAS 74 (1982), 186. In such situations, many people, knowing and accepting the possibility of living "as brothers and sisters" which the Church offers them, point out that if certain expressions of intimacy are lacking, "it often happens that faithfulness is endangered and the good of the children suffers" (Second Vatican Ecumenical Council, Pastoral Constitution on the Church in the Modern World Gaudium et Spes, 51).
Now watch this.
First, here is the text from FC 84, written 35 years ago, by a saint.
84. Daily experience unfortunately shows that people who have obtained a divorce usually intend to enter into a new union, obviously not with a Catholic religious ceremony. Since this is an evil that, like the others, is affecting more and more Catholics as well, the problem must be faced with resolution and without delay. The Synod Fathers studied it expressly. The Church, which was set up to lead to salvation all people and especially the baptized, cannot abandon to their own devices those who have been previously bound by sacramental marriage and who have attempted a second marriage. The Church will therefore make untiring efforts to put at their disposal her means of salvation.
Pastors must know that, for the sake of truth, they are obliged to exercise careful discernment of situations. There is in fact a difference between those who have sincerely tried to save their first marriage and have been unjustly abandoned, and those who through their own grave fault have destroyed a canonically valid marriage. Finally, there are those who have entered into a second union for the sake of the children's upbringing, and who are sometimes subjectively certain in conscience that their previous and irreparably destroyed marriage had never been valid.
However, the Church reaffirms her practice, which is based upon Sacred Scripture, of not admitting to Eucharistic Communion divorced persons who have remarried. They are unable to be admitted thereto from the fact that their state and condition of life objectively contradict that union of love between Christ and the Church which is signified and effected by the Eucharist. Besides this, there is another special pastoral reason: if these people were admitted to the Eucharist, the faithful would be led into error and confusion regarding the Church's teaching about the indissolubility of marriage.
Reconciliation in the sacrament of Penance which would open the way to the Eucharist, can only be granted to those who, repenting of having broken the sign of the Covenant and of fidelity to Christ, are sincerely ready to undertake a way of life that is no longer in contradiction to the indissolubility of marriage. This means, in practice, that when, for serious reasons, such as for example the children's upbringing, a man and a woman cannot satisfy the obligation to separate, they "take on themselves the duty to live in complete continence, that is, by abstinence from the acts proper to married couples."[180]
By acting in this way, the Church professes her own fidelity to Christ and to His truth. At the same time she shows motherly concern for these children of hers, especially those who, through no fault of their own, have been abandoned by their legitimate partner.
With firm confidence she believes that those who have rejected the Lord's command and are still living in this state will be able to obtain from God the grace of conversion and salvation, provided that they have persevered in prayer, penance and charity.
Yes, it acknowledges the sad reality of broken families, and notes that "discernment of situations" is necessary. But then it goes on, within the same paragraph, to reinforce the impossibility of Eucharistic Communion for those who continue in second "marriages" unless, for the sake of the children produced by the second bond, and after repentance and sacramental Confession, they practice perfect continence (which, by the way, is already a very generous provision). So Francis is using this paragraph to support his position that situations differ, even though elsewhere in the very same paragraph his broader proposal is utterly destroyed, by coming to the OPPOSITE conclusion of where he is going with this.
Now back to footnote 329, the second part, which references GS51. Go back and look at the footnote. Francis is moaning that, while of course the living as brother and sister option is always available, that idea is just so cruel and unmerciful, we must find a way around it for the sake of the children. Then he quotes GS 51 to support the argument.
Except guess what. GS51 is talking about PEOPLE WHO ARE REALLY MARRIED. First marriages. Not divorced and remarried. Furthermore, the topic at hand in GS is the licitness of refraining from full intimacy for the sake of spacing of children, which is WHOLLY DIFFERENT from the topic we are dealing with in AL. Here's the relevant text:
51. This council realizes that certain modern conditions often keep couples from arranging their married lives harmoniously, and that they find themselves in circumstances where at least temporarily the size of their families should not be increased. As a result, the faithful exercise of love and the full intimacy of their lives is hard to maintain. But where the intimacy of married life is broken off, its faithfulness can sometimes be imperiled and its quality of fruitfulness ruined, for then the upbringing of the children and the courage to accept new ones are both endangered.
You can't tell me this is bad scholarship. This is deliberate and diabolical inversion.
And there is so much more.
"The Scriptures Speak" — loud and clear!
Lies are ugly, while Truth is so simple and so beautiful. God made it this way.

thecatholicshoemaker says:
Yes, the problems are not going away. I think there was a hope at the start that the footnotes were just sloppy writing, and that the issues would be clarified as time went on. But when the clarifications did not come (or rather, what become clear was something very different than faithful Catholics were hoping for), then slowly we began to realize the footnotes were crafted to do what they have done.

Nestled in a small bistro on a side road in the historic Brookside neighborhood, Chai Shai offers homemade, authentic Pakistani and Indian cuisine created to order.
My favorite, and also the specialty at Chai Shai, is the samosa--- with beef, chicken, or vegetable as the choices. The meat options contain seasoned meat, onions, and cilantro fried inside a crispy pastry shell. The vegetable samosa is filled with spiced potatoes, peas, and cilantro. Although they're known for these decadent snack foods, the dinners are hearty, warm, and satisfying, as well.
The dinner menu changes often, but choices frequently include Lamb Daal with marinated cubes of lamb and split yellow lentils, asafetida, fennel seeds, and fresh garlic, served with naan, basmati rice, salad, achaar (Indian pickles), and raitha (yogurt, cucumber, and spices). Chai Shai offers many vegetarian options and the Pakora Curry is a favorite of vegetable fritters made with chickpea flour, sliced onions, potatoes, and greens covered in a yellow curry consisting of mustard seed and fresh curry leaves. It's served with basmati rice, naan, raitha, salad, and achaar.
The atmosphere is intimate with just a handful of tables for seating and a small outdoor patio. I always enjoy having an after-dinner Chai on the patio while people watching at this quaint Brookside bistro.
