Indeed, Cardinal Kasper, Joseph Ratzinger's great opponent, has announced a genuine "revolution".
Bergoglio used Kasper in February 2014 at the consistory to launch the sensational news of communion for the divorced and remarried. It's not that Bergoglio cares about the divorced who want to receive communion but they have been used as a battering ram to shake Catholic doctrine on the sacraments.
Last Monday in a meeting in Lucca and on the eve of the Pope's signature of the exhortation, Kasper couldn't contain himself. "It will be the first step in a reform that will turn the page in Church history after 1700 years."
The exhortation will be made public in the middle of April but Kasper – who knows the content – is already claiming victory. "The document will make its mark," he said, "as the biggest revolution in the Church for 1500 years."
Vatican Insider also ran headlines on the document quoting Kasper as saying: "It will be revolutionary".
Indeed, Bergoglio who – with friends - loves to provoke, revealed to Scalfari in Repubblica on 24th December: "I'm a revolutionary."
Of course, almost a year ago, I cited Pope Bergoglio as saying "I feel like saying something that may sound controversial, or even heretical, perhaps".
Now, Bergoglio is a Jesuit, well-versed in saying things that will enable the hearer to take away what he wants to hear (no matter what direction he's coming from. The Jesuitical practice is called "mental reservation"). How can a "pope" get away with this? The Rorate article continues:
If Bergoglio's plan to overturn the Catholic Church is evident, it is also true that he knows he has to move shrewdly and with calculated timing so as not to come out of the matter in question as a 'heretic pope'. Canon law would however dictate exactly that and with all that would follow.
Bergoglio in fact loves to portray himself thus: "I can say I am rather shrewd, I know how to get what I want." And this explains what we read yesterday in yet another Repubblica preview by Alberto Melloni.
From his article we learn – which was predictable – that in the exhortation there won't be a formal change to doctrine because the Pope can in no way say explicitly that the Gospel and the two-thousand-year-old Magisterium of the Church on the indissolubility of marriage and access to the Eucharist should be binned. He would delegitimize himself.
So what does the exhortation say according to Melloni? Everything will be legitimized under the form of the – apparently innocuous - pastoral care and the call for a 'fuller participation' of the divorced and remarried within the life of the Church.
Melloni begins with the (fantastical) assumption that 'almost all parish priests' already give communion to the divorced and remarried and so it would 'only' be a legitimizing of a practise already in use but without giving it a theological base. In 'mercy' of course.
In reality with this practise a non Catholic theology of the Eucharist, marriage and confession would be legitimized without saying so explicitly and so without putting heretical claims in black and white.
According to Melloni, Bergoglio would act, "calling bishops to take responsibility and effectively transmitting powers to them."
He has done it with Motu Proprio 'nullifying marriage'. Maybe he will also do it giving bishops the power to legitimize access to the Eucharist to some divorced and remarried couples without the need to live "as brother and sister" which is what the Church has asked for until now.
In this way Pope Bergoglio would delegate to the bishops the authorization (without in reality having the power to do so) of a new sacramental practise. This would – tacitly - legitimize and even topple into second (or third) marriages and shake the very foundations of the Eucharist and confession.
Rorate continues, "It would be difficult to imagine that the Church would accept this." But why is that so? It depends on the quite fluid "definition of the word 'Church'".
The traditional definition is no longer valid for them in this case:
This is the one Church of Christ which in the Creed is professed as one, holy, catholic and apostolic, which our Saviour, after His Resurrection, commissioned Peter to shepherd, and him and the other apostles to extend and direct with authority, which He erected for all ages as "the pillar and mainstay of the truth". This Church constituted and organized in the world as a society, subsists in the Catholic Church, which is governed by the successor of Peter and by the Bishops in communion with him
In this case, you have "the successor of Peter and [at least many of the] Bishops in communion with him" who are leading the charge. [Bergoglio seems to be ignoring the fact that Kasper's method "was vetoed by 75 percent of the cardinals. It was then vetoed again in the two synods of 2014 and 2015."]
The real point here is that Bergoglio, faced with a definition of marriage (and the consequences of divorce) that have existed for hundreds of years, must now begin to create a "Living Tradition" which can, in the future, be recognized as having "the unanimous consent of the fathers". This is how "ressourcement" works (it is not the same thing as ad fontes), this is how "development" works. This is how the Roman Catholic Church could take the "assumption of Mary" and its dubious beginnings in fifth century gnostic literature, and turn it into a dogma that represents "an ever more perfect knowledge of the revealed truths".
Bergoglio is getting his foot in the door. No matter what the document says, the conservatives will say, "No dogma has been changed", and the progressives will come away with the notion that they can do whatever they want.
So the way out of this now, for these traditionalists (and maybe for conservatives, depending upon how long Bergoglio lives, or who his "successor" is), is that they've got to fall back upon some non-dogmatic platitudes that will ease their consciences about what really a pope is:
Erroneously, one believes that the Pope can change the revealed truth of the Church but it is not his to possess; he remains only the servant.
Venerable Pio Brunone Lanteri who although a great defender of the papacy said openly: "One can say that the Holy Father can do anything 'quodcumque solveris, quodcumque ligaveris etc', ("whatsoever thou shalt loose, whatsoever thou shalt bind etc.") it is true but he can do nothing against the divine constitution of the Church; he is the vicar of Christ, but he is not God, and neither can he destroy the work of God."
Another great man of the Church, Cardinal Journet, regarding the age old teaching of the Church claimed: "As far as the axiom 'where the pope is, there is the Church" goes, this holds true when the Pope behaves like a pope and head of the Church; if this is not the case, neither the Church is in him nor he in the Church."
Gee, it's hard not to have that hard-and-bright line such that "unless the church's interpretation of Scripture is divinely protected from error at least under certain conditions, then what we call the 'orthodox' understanding of doctrines … is reduced to mere fallible human opinion".
The traditionalists and the conservatives now, faced with "a successor of Peter and the bishops in communion with him", are now relying on "mere fallible human opinion" in order to get through this Bergoglio papacy.

Patricks preschool class went to the Bug Lore Museum for a field trip. Looking at the bugs was fun but it was kind of a joke too with one big room filled with bugs and toys so of course the kids wanted the toys more. Well at least mine did.
I hate cockroaches but I was able to go look at the Madagascar hissing cockroaches, except I found a dead one, the lady said it was old so she took him out for us to look at.
I did get up the nerve to let the stick bug crawl on my arm but only for a few seconds because it was freaky.
Afterward we met at a park and played and ate lunch. There was a dog wandering around that didn't have a collar and it was trying to eat every ones food.

Dark Side of e-Commerce
By Poh Huat Lee, Head of Ecosystem Risk, APAC and CEMEA , Visa
Poh Huat Lee, Head of Ecosystem Risk, APAC and CEMEA , Visa
Have you ever bought medication online and found it to be a deal almost too good to be true? Drugs for less on the internet may be dodgier than you think. While some of these drugs have no bad health consequences for most consumers, others are less lucky where illnesses have been sub-optimally treated – even leading to deaths. There is a worrying rise in the number of cases of consumers who obtained medication from unverified, and sometimes illegal sources. Visa figures alone point to a five-fold increase over the past 2 years in the Asia-Pacific region.
To combat this scourge, Risk Managers have a front-line role in keeping rogue merchants at bay. The modern role of Risk Managers at banks has moved beyond traditional credit risk management to one that is closely tied to protecting the overall trust of consumers with online payments. With the rising trend of outsourcing among banks, Risk Managers need to examine new ways to curb the possibility of such merchants exploiting this weak link to facilitate illegitimate transactions.
Processing transactions from such dubious merchants not only contravene laws, it also undermines consumer trust and the willingness to buy online. Needless to say, security and the integrity of the payment system is a shared responsibility and this means it is in everyone's interest to weed out illegal merchants and its potential side effects.
Transparency is one of the key reasons electronic payment is preferred over cash. Therefore, the key task for Risk Managers is to utilize this advantage in the fight against illegal merchants. Here are other fundamental principles that Risk Managers at banks need to adopt when dealing with new merchants:
Outsourcing Relates to Function and Not Accountability: For every part of the business that is outsourced, Risk Managers have to ensure full oversight of these third-parties. Outsourcing introduces unknown risks to the whole organization so good risk management during on-boarding ads an extra layer of defense against these external threats.
Merchant On-boarding Due Diligence is Crucial: When new merchants join a network, they could also introduce risk to the ecosystem. It is incredibly important that all entrants are vetted thoroughly beforehand. This will ensure that there is clarity in what the merchant actually sells and that these are not shell companies with nefarious intent.
Active Monitoring of Transactions: Even as the volume of e-Commerce around the world is increasing, tools are available to help sieve out problem areas. Advances in analytics and technology today means that Risk Managers can spot high risk transactions in real-time. For instance, spikes in sales volumes are typical tell-tale signs of fraud where Risk Managers need to focus.
Curbing illegal pharmaceutical merchants means cutting away one growing source of online fraud. Stopping fraud before it even begins is the most effective risk management policy. When Risk Managers apply these best practices, fraud has less chance to rear its ugly head.

Dr. Oz Swimsuit Cleanse Recap
While I planned to do a post right at the end of day 7 I decided to hold off for a few days so I could give my eating habits the real world test. I wanted to see if I would go right back to my old habits. Usually right after a diet my meal choices swing in the opposite direction and I start indulging in all the sweets and unhealthy foods that I denied myself.
I'm talking Third pounder Angus mushroom & swiss, fries, and a coke unhealthy.
Looking back on the Dr Oz Swimsuit cleanse two weeks after the end, I had mixed feelings. Here's the summary.
Mark Genuine Style Bag
The briefcase gets a feminine makeover in the form of this classy bag Genuine Style Bag from mark. Its just perfect for the office. I was actually surprised that it was a mark bag as its so understated. I feel like mark accessories tend to have more going on, with unusual textures or colors. The only elaborate thing here is the key chain, and even that's detachable.
So, I've officially had my iPad Air that I earned through an Avon inventive for 6 months now. Squee!
If you had asked me prior to that, in fact many people did, about whether or not it could ever replace my Asus Transformer Pad Infility I would have said no but in actuality it has. Well, as my primary device. I still use both and and wouldn't say that the iPad Air has completely replaced the Transformer Infinity, just made my life a bit easier.
Dr. Oz Swimsuit Cleanse: Day 2
Today I realized that I probably should not have started this cleanse during the week of Independence Day.
The burgers, fries, and fried chicken... Just thinking about it makes my mouth water.
This is just the second day and I barely made it through lunch.
Glazewear Spangled 4th of July
Dr. Oz Swimsuit Cleanse: Day 1
Today I decided to test Dr. Caroline Apovian, author of The Overnight Diet's Swim Suit Cleanse. It was once featured on the Dr. Oz Show and I saved it to try later because while it's supposed to help you lose 5 pounds in 1 week, it didn't seem like it would starve me, just help me control my portions.
It starts off with 1 day of drinking "slim shakes" for each of your meals, which is said to allow you to shed 2 pounds overnight, followed by protein rich, well balanced meals for the rest of the week.

cheeseball love
November 9, 2012 | 52 Comments
I'm curled up on the couch at my in-law's house in Calgary. The roads are too terrible to drive to Caroline tonight, so Steve's dad picked me up from the airport and brought me home for the night. We're leaving at 7am and I should be in bed, but I had caffeine a few hours ago and I'm addicted to the internet. Awake it is!
Steve's parents moved into this house the year before we met. They've been talking about buying something smaller for years. If they do, I'll miss it here. This house represents my formative years. My life was crazy when I met Steve; he and his family were a refuge. They provided stability that made space for my becoming. Steve didn't grow up in this house, but I did.
As Gerry and I drove into their neighbourhood tonight, we passed a park surrounded by a chain-link fence. I can't pass that fence without remembering the first winter Steve and I were together, just before we got married. We were coming for a visit from the basement suite I lived in alone, until Steve moved in after our wedding. It was snowing a wet, sticky snow, perfect for snowballs. It fell steady, twinkling as our headlights cut through. We approached the park near his folk's house and I could see each diamond section of the fence piled with fresh snow.
I can't remember if the idea was spoken into being, or if it just happened. It felt like the car took over and pulled up in front of the fence without our permission. Steve put it in neutral and pulled the e-brake. He jumped out of the car, smiling big at me through the windshield as he passed in front.
I heard myself laugh and I jumped out before Steve reached the fence. I saw him stretch up and run his gloved hand through the snow on the fence, carving out a letter 'I' half the size of his body. I skipped through the snow to my own section of fence and, with my mittened hand, raced to finish my messages first, shuffling over as I completed each letter to start the next.
We both finished and stepped back to take in what the other had written. There was our new, cheeseball-love, professed for the neighbourhood, spelled out in snow letters on the park fence.
Steve and I have had a a rocky six years. We've almost separated three times, most recently last Christmas. I don't know if we're through those dark spaces, but I know I feel fresh, whimsical in-snow-love. Steve is my fucking favourite. He makes my life better. I want to get whole and devour the world with him. I want to carve out love messages with him and for him. And for me and Emma and everyone in our corner. Snow-love on the house!
Our relationship is rooted in a deep friendship. It's packed with memories like our fencemanship. We've had so much easy fun together. I'm ready for more. I love you, Edward.
Please join my Truthfully Facebook page.
Joining up with Yeah Write for BlogHer's NaBloPoMo. No guilt. Just fun.

2012 Reserve 1/2 bottle
Raptor Ridge Pinot Noir
Raptor Ridge Winery honors the diverse soil types of the Willamette Valley growing region with this blend of select vineyards. Each year, our Reserve is crafted through a process of careful barrel selection, balanced with blending trials that result in the most complete Pinot noir from our cellar that the vintage has to offer.
In the Vineyard
As always, this is a blend of top, established vineyards from throughout the Willamette Valley, balanced with younger sites. This year's cuvee was comprised of fruit from our Estate Tuscowallame Vineyard (41%), Gran Moraine Vineyard (18%), Meredith Mitchell Vineyard (11%), Atticus Vineyard (11%), Crawford Beck Vineyard (9%), Goodrich Vineyard (5%), Shea Vineyard (2%), Olenik Vineyard (2%), and Black Hole Vineyard (1%).
We harvested the grapes for this vintage in phases, October 4-18. Harvest chemistry was on average 24.4 Brix, 3.77, pH and 5.2 TA.
At the Winery
When balancing fruit from various vineyards for our Reserve, a diverse yeast program is employed to aid in fermentation. Yeast strains included RC-212, William Selyem, BM-45, BGY, 71B and "native" yeasts. On average, this fruit cold soaked for about seven days, and fermented for about 17 days before going to barrel. Not wanting to conflict with the pronounced fruit-texture interplay of this miraculous vintage, we barreled it for nine months in a modest 25% percent new French Oak from cooperage including Atelier, Tonnellier O, Remond, and DeFerrari.
At the Table
A generous nose of ripe black fruits like plum, black cherry and blackberry, is backed up with licorice, cola and hints of violets. The palate has a sweet, jammy, baked cherry entry, which quickly shifts to wild ripe blackberries and candied fruit, with a hint of black tea. Not at all flabby, this wine has a terrific cleansing acidity. Balanced and ready to enjoy now, this wine could pair nicely with grilled lamb kebobs, or even steak frites! Or, hang on to a few bottles to follow that tremendously long finish through a little more cellar age.

Early this morning Cliff spotted these two newly emerged dragonflies drying their wings as they sat on plants near the edge of the shallow Dragonfly Pond. I think they are Southern Hawkers, Aeshna cynea (perhaps Dean of that amazing showcase of insects Mostly Macro will confirm this for us).
This one is still sitting on its nymph case or exuvia to use the correct term – look at the transparent shields that covered the eyes when it lived under water (click on the pictures to enlarge). I have a collection of these fragile cases in my studio, they are like miniature models for a sci-fi horror movie!

A beautiful country with a complicated past.
Bamboo-pole skinny and a thousand miles long, energized Vietnam packs so much into its mountainous, slithery shape that repeat visitors still find things to shake their heads at. Now buddies with the USA, Vietnam is feasting over 21st-century business, and its book-end cities – Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) – change by the hour. Most itineraries start at one and finish with the other: Hanoi's prettier, with more cultural history and closer to the mountains, but old Saigon's food is better and its all-night energy unparalleled. From Ho Chi Minh City, easy-to-arrange tours sample the Mekong Delta's chocolate-colored rivulets on boat trips past rice villages or visit war sites like the claustrophobic Cu Chi tunnels. Up the coast, Nha Trang is the best beach town, with turquoise water and a growing hotel-filled skyline, but Hoi An, an ancient Chinese trading town with cobbled streets, is a standout for many. A few hours north, is Vietnam's former capital, Hue, with royal tombs and the country's spiciest street food. Near the border with China, take a cruise navigating through the monolithic limestone islands of Halong Bay, named after a dragon; an overnight train ride to the north is Sa Pa, with Indochina's highest mountains and home to ethnic minorities.

British organisers also plan to stage races in Oman, Qatar and Lebanon
Plans to stage a power boat series in the UAE, dubbed 'the Grand Prix of the Sea', have been put back until spring next year due to organisational delays, but the event's British promoters revealed they are still aiming to expand the series to other parts of the Middle East.
London-based promoter Powerboat P1 Management earlier this year signed up a UAE financier to invest around US$2.5m to host the power boat racing series, but talks with local regulators and bodies has meant the original starting date in November has had to be amended.
"We are currently working towards securing approval from the Marine Sports Federation to launch the series. Unfortunately this has taken a little longer than we anticipated," Mike Jones, general manager of Powerboat UAE, told Arabian Business.
"We are still committed to our racing championships… We have put it back until February. It is a slight delay but is not hugely significant," added James Durbin, commercial director of Powerboat P1 Management.
Durbin said the official schedule for the event next year would be unveiled in December but the series was likely to start in Dubai and feature stopovers in other emirates, including Fujairah and Ras Al Khaimah, with the final race taking place in the capital, Abu Dhabi.
The firm said it was also in negotiations with other Middle East states as part of its aim to establish at least 12 national series around the world, which will culminate in a world series in 2015.
"There will be potential for further investment in the wider Middle East region in Qatar, Lebanon and Oman. We are potentially looking at doing an exhibition race in Oman in 2013," Durbin said.
The basic amount needed to host a series is €1.5m (US$1.9m) and as part of a franchise-style deal backers get ownership of ten racing boats. Additional revenue can be generated by host countries through spin-off advertising, sponsorship and TV and media opportunities.
While Durbin would not reveal the identity of the local UAE financier, he confirmed that other investors in Doha were closely watching the UAE series and they are aiming to start operations in Qatar within two years.
"We have been talking to Qatar for quite some time with a number of different organisations… They want to watch the success of the UAE series and as soon as we launch our first events negotiations will take the next step. It will be our view to be racing in Qatar, all things going well, in 2014," he added.
Powerboat P1 has secured Dubai-based Onside Sports to find commercial partners and teams for the series and Durbin said they had seen "a terrific response from the private and public sector".
Teams can take two different routes to apply for the series: they can buy a boat outright for US$125,000 and seek their own sponsor, or they can rent a boat for US$10,000 and organisers will source a sponsor for them to race under.

Moments ago i spoke with Kent. He's in Lima. He's happy and healthy. He said, "I am chugging along at my own pace, going as fast as I can."
He's at mile 900 of the race (plus another 845 from his 'prologue' ride to Banff.).
Yesterday he rode with a couple of bike tourists from Portland. It was a really nice ride -- a fairly easy section including a paved climb.
He was eating as he spoke to me on his cell phone from the lobby of the post office. He was there to send off a memory card from his camera. I will post those photos as soon as they arrive. I'm excited about them. He promised good photos of his tires caked with mud.
The Mountain Turtle related the following story about changing expectations.
"So I'm rolling along through the mud, and I'm thinking 'wow, this is really slow riding!'. A little while later I'm pushing the bike through the mud and I'm thinking 'Wow, this is really slow walking!'. After a while it becomes 'Gee, I wish my wheels would just turn, it was easier when the wheels would roll.' And then a bit later, 'You know, my feet are getting really heavy...' "
When the sun comes out it all becomes ridable, the wheels roll.
Another story he related. He was rolling along pretty well, "and then I hit the Sheep Creek Divide, which is labeled on the map: 'impassible when wet'. It starts off well, but I see a big thunderstorm coming in and I wonder if it's going to hit. I ride on a bit. It hits. I ride in it a bit and I'm thinking 'this is pretty freakin' epic.' [and coming from Kent, that's saying something! -ed]
"This is ranch country and before long I see this old, old building behind a gate. It looks like it was once was cabin, but it is now maybe a cow shelter. The gate is not locked, neither is the door to the cabin, it's just wired shut to keep from slamming in the wind. And best of all there are no 'No Trespassing' signs.
"So I hole up there for half an hour -- it's a really epic Thunderstorm." When it's over I ride for an hour in the mud before I encounter another storm. I ride through that and eventually I see this big rock formation in the distance and I know immediately: 'That's my camp.'
"It is 8 pm when I pull up. I've gotten really good at pitching the tarp quickly, using the bike and one stake. I had a lovely sleep, and then this morning, more mud walking."
He said the mud is not only a challenge out there, but it's a real danger to the equipment. He expressed sympathy for the guys who have derailleurs, which the mud can just strip right off. He spoke highly of Jon Billman's system (correction, it's Mike Gibney's system!), which Kent believes is a Rohloff 14 speed internal geared hub, kind of the best of both worlds. Kent said he thought that was great for these conditions.
He talked about how the mud gets packed on everything and then starts to rub and wear. When the mud built up on his tire, the muddy tire then wore through the strap on the back of his triangle pack, he replaced it with zipties.
He said, "I really worry about the guys with carbon frames, I really think the mud may wear out carbon frames. I'm really glad I've got a steel frame -- but I am losing paint like you wouldn't believe!"

It does indeed sound epic! That good ol Redline'll get him through it though,just as he'll get it through =D Hasten Slowly,Brother,you're doing great!
According to the guy at the Banff bike shop, here's Jon's setup:
Jon Billman is running a 32 X 18 his original choice.
White Industry Crank and rear sprocket with a Sram Single Speed chain
It was a last minute build as at 11am Thursday morning it was pieces. One frame box, one wheel box and a big Ol suit case of parts.

I'm reminded of Swift's work whenever I hear the question, "Well, what can we do?" in regards to any fundamental problem seen as insurmountable. Voicing the absurd is a good place to see where one somewhat reasonable step followed by another and followed by another could eventually lead to said absurdity. Or what doing nothing will accomplish... which is nothing. It calls attention to the extreme result of what might seem like minor transgressions and that, if one thinks about it, aren't so minor.
What does this have to do with my new story at The Airgonaut that came out yesterday? While I don't advise eating children in "God's Pig," it is my attempt at carrying reality to an extreme. I hope you enjoy reading it, and I hope I managed to honor Jonathan Swift's satirical legacy.

You've probably watched your grandkids play video games for hours on end and thought to yourself (or more likely, said out loud!): "That mindless activity is ruining their brains!" Their eyes glaze over. They don't notice when you walk in the room or their parents call them for dinner. They're not even interested in your homemade chocolate chips, unless you shove one in their mouth. How can that be good for them?!
Well, studies show that it's not only good for them, but it could also be good for you too!
Several years ago, a neuroscientist at the University of California, San Francisco developed a game called NeuroRacer, which involves driving a car along a winding road and quickly pressing a button every time a sign appears. The goal was to help seniors improve their ability to shift focus, or multitask, a skill that surprisingly starts to decline in our 20s.
As a part of a 2013 study, published in the Nature, the researchers then had 60- to 85-year-old participants play the game for an hour a day, three times a week. After a month of this regular play, players were twice as adept at shifting their focus between driving and watching for the signs as when they started and actually were able to beat a group of 20-year-olds (granted, the kids had only played the game once, but it's still quite impressive!) at their own game. And these seasoned players retained their refined multitasking skills for six months after they'd stopped playing the game.
While the game certainly had the intended cognitive effects on seniors in the study, the participants reaped some pretty unexpected brain benefits as well. In addition to being better at doing more than task at once, they also experienced improvement in their short-term memory, including retaining information like names, phone numbers, dates and times.
While this particular game was developed as a research tool and is not available to the general public, other video games that are, like World of Warcraft (WoW) and War Thunder, have also been shown to improve seniors' cognitive focus and spatial ability. (Yep, those are the games that your grandkids have spent half their young lives playing!) And Wii™ has physical and social benefits too. Just ask the 1,500 bowlers in the National Senior Wii Bowling League, who competed in a seven-week season last year. In fact, 26 percent of gamers were over the age of 50 in 2015.*
The next time you think of video games as something only kids (with too much time on their hands) do, toss out the stereotype and pick up a joystick instead. You just might enjoy yourself … and learn something in the process!

What will this mean? Well, it will mean that thousands will be isolated in their own villages, unable to visit family or friends, or go shopping.
It will also mean that many hospital and other important appointments will be lost, costing a large amount of money in itself.
It will put a stop to socialising, it will put the vulnerable and the elderly at risk, no way of travelling is bad for morale and will mean that people will have to give up work, including the disabled that are part of the 'care in the community' scheme.
These Councillors are our elected representatives, they are here to represent us! What next to go? Police numbers, ambulance numbers, fire engines? These are already in danger and we have in fact lost fire engines already.
'We will not cut vital services'
Really? Public transport is just that! An emergency services to many thousands of people.
Please join us in voicing your disdain at the bureaucratic insanity that is happening, and remind the Council that real-time bus timetables are redundant if there are no real-time bus services.
'No forthcoming service'
What next? School bus services? Well they are on the rack too.

Robert Evans, Ed.D. to Speak at a Free Parenting Workshop at Grosse Pointe Academy
There is no harder job than being a parent. As the pace of life accelerates, as media influences intensify, and as the future grows less predictable, parents and teachers find it harder to know how to raise competent, caring children, how to resist negative influences in the surrounding culture, and how to help foster strength and resilience.
Robert Evans, Ed.D., this year's Grosse Pointe Academy McMillan Lecturer, will outline these dilemmas and offer concrete suggestions for successful coping both at home and at school. The lecture is free to the public and will be held on Wednesday, November 10 at 7 p.m. in the Tracy Fieldhouse, 171 Lake Shore Road in Grosse Pointe Farms.
A clinical and organizational psychologist and the Executive Director of The Human Relations Service in Wellesley, MA, Dr. Evans has worked with schools and families around the country for thirty-five years. His presentations are known for their lively wit and plain talk. He is the author of many articles and three books, including Family Matters: How Schools Can Cope with the Crisis in Childrearing.
There will be a question-and-answer session and book signing following the presentation. Refreshments will be served. For more information, download a flyer or call 313-886-1221.
The William Charles McMillan III Lecture Series is a gift from Thayer and Gioconda McMillan given in memory of William in the interest of emphasizing the importance of elementary education.

EZ Battery Reconditioning Method
It is possible to draw substantial amounts of energy from the local environment and use that energy to charge batteries. Not only that, but when this method of charging is used, the batteries gradually get conditioned to this form of non-conventional energy and their capacity for doing work increases. In addition, about 50% of vehicle batteries abandoned as being incapable of holding their charge any longer, will respond to this type of charging and revive fully. This means that a battery bank can be created for almost no cost.
However, while this economic angle is very attractive, the practical aspect of using batteries for any significant home application is just not practical. Firstly, lead-acid batteries tend to get acid all over the place when repeatedly charged, and this is not suited to most home locations. Secondly, it is recommended that batteries are not discharged more rapidly than a twenty hour period. This means that a battery rated at a capacity of 80 Amp-hours (AHr) should not be required to supply a current of more than 4 amps. This is a devastating restriction which pushes battery operation into the non-practical category, except for very minor loads like lights, TVs, DVD recorders and similar equipment with minimal power requirements.
The main costs of running a home are those of heating/cooling the premises and operating equipment like a washing machine. These items have a minimum load capacity of just over 2 kW. It makes no difference to the power requirement if you use a 12-volt, 24-volt or 48-volt battery bank. No matter which arrangement is chosen, the number of batteries needed to provide any given power requirement is the same. The higher voltage banks can have smaller diameter wiring as the current is lower, but the power requirement remains the same.
So, to provide a 2 kW load with power, requires a total current from 12-volt batteries of 2000 / 12 = 167 amps. Using 80 AHr batteries this is 42 batteries. Unfortunately, the charging circuits described below, will not charge a battery which is powering a load. This means that for a requirement like heating, which is a day and night requirement, there needs to be two of these battery banks, which takes us to 84 batteries. This is only for a minimal 2 kW loading, which means that if this is being used for heating, it is not possible to operate the washing machine unless the heating is turned off. So, allowing for some extra loading like this, the battery count reaches, perhaps, 126. Ignoring the cost, and assuming that you can find some way to get over the acid problem, the sheer physical volume of this number of batteries is just not realistic for domestic installation and use. In passing, you would also need two inverters with a 2.5 kW operating capacity
This brings home the value of devices like the Wang Shum Ho 5 kW permanent magnet motor-generator which is compact and requires no fuel or batteries to operate. However, the pulsed-charging systems are important as they show us features of the local energy field and how to tap it.
John Bedini has designed a whole series of pulse-generator circuits, all based on the 1:1 multi-strand choke coil component disclosed in his patent US 6,545,444
With this system, the rotor is started spinning by hand. As a magnet passes the triple-wound "tri-filar" coil, it induces a voltage in all three coil windings. The magnet on the rotor is effectively contributing energy to the circuit as it passes the coil. One winding feeds a current to the base of the transistor via the resistor 'R'. This switches the transistor hard on, driving a strong current pulse from the battery through the second coil winding, creating a 'North' pole at the top of the coil, boosting the rotor on its way. As only a changing magnetic field generate a voltage in a coil winding, the steady transistor current through coil two is unable to sustain the transistor base current through coil one and the transistor switches off again.
The cutting of the current through the coil causes the voltage across the coils to overshoot by a major amount, moving outside the battery rail by a serious voltage. The diode protects the transistor by preventing the base voltage being taken below -0.7 volts. The third coil, shown on the left, picks up all of these pulses and rectifies them via a bridge of 1000V rated diodes. The resulting pulsing DC current is passed to the capacitor, which is one from a disposable camera, as these are built for high voltages and very rapid discharges. The voltage on the capacitor builds up rapidly and after several pulses, the stored energy in it is discharged into the "Charging" battery via the mechanical switch contacts. The drive band to the wheel with the cam on it, provides a mechanical gearing down so that there are several charging pulses between successive closings of the contacts. The three coil windings are placed on the spool at the same time and comprise 450 turns of the three wires (mark the starting ends before winding the coil).
The operation of this device is a little unusual. The rotor is started off by hand and it progressively gains speed until its maximum rate is reached. The amount of energy passed to the coil windings by each magnet on the rotor stays the same, but the faster the rotor moves, the shorter the interval of time in which the energy is transferred. The energy input per second, received from the permanent magnets, increases with the increased speed.
If the rotation is fast enough, the operation changes. Up to now, the current taken from the 'Driving' battery has been increasing with the increasing speed, but now the driving current starts to drop although the speed continues to increase. The reason for this is that the increased speed has caused the permanent magnet to move past the coil before the coil is pulsed. This means that the coil pulse no longer has to push against the 'North' face of the magnet, but instead it attracts the 'South' pole of the next magnet on the rotor, which keeps the rotor going and increases the magnetic effect of the coil pulse. John states that the mechanical efficiency of these devices is always below 100% efficient, but having said that, it is possible to get results of COP = 11. Many people who build these devices never manage to get COP>1.
It is important that a standard mains powered battery charger is never used to charge these batteries. It is clear that the 'cold electricity' produced by a properly tuned Bedini device is substantially different to normal electricity although they can both perform the same tasks when powering electrical equipment.
It is important to use the transistors specified in any of John's diagrams, rather than transistors which are listed as equivalents. Many of the designs utilise the badly named "negative resistance" characteristics of transistors. These semiconductors do not exhibit any form of negative resistance, but instead, show reduced positive resistance with increasing current, over part of their operating range.
It has been said that the use of "Litz" wire can increase the output of this device by anything up to 300%. Litz wire is the technique of taking three or more strands of wire and twisting them together. This is done with the wires stretched out side by side, by taking a length of say, three feet, and rotating the mid point of the bundle of wires for several turns in one direction. This produces clockwise twists for half the length and counter-clockwise twists for the remainder of the length. Done over a long length of wire, the wires are twisted repeatedly clockwise - counter clockwise - clockwise - counter clockwise - ... along their whole length. The ends of the wires are then cleared of their insulation and soldered together to make a three-strand cable, and the cable is then used to wind the coils. This style of winding modifies the magnetic and electrical properties of the windings. It has been said that taking three long strands of wire and just twisting them together in one direction to make a long twisted three-strand cable is nearly as effective as using Litz wire. The websites www.mwswire.com/litzmain.htm and www.litz-wire.com are suppliers of ready made Litz wire.

CAUTION: Care must be taken when working with batteries, especially lead-acid batteries. A charged battery contains a large amount of energy and short-circuiting the terminals will cause a very large current flow which may start a fire. When being charged, some batteries give off hydrogen gas which when mixed with air is highly dangerous and which could explode if ignited by a spark. Batteries can explode and/or catch fire if grossly overcharged or charged with an excessively large current, so there could be danger from flying pieces of the casing and possibly acid being thrown around. Even an apparently clean lead-acid battery can have caustic traces on the case, so you should be sure to wash your hands thoroughly after handling a battery. Batteries with lead terminals tend to shed small fragments of lead when clips are put on them. Lead is toxic, so please be sure to wash your hands after handling any part of a lead-acid battery. Remember too that some batteries can develop slight leaks so please protect against any leakage. If you decide to perform any experiments using batteries, that you do so entirely at your own risk and on your own responsibility. This set of documents is presented for information purposes only and you are not encouraged to do anything other than read the information.
Also, if you get one of John's pulse motors tuned correctly, it will accelerate to perhaps 10,000 rpm. This is great for picking up energy but if ceramic magnets are used, the speed can cause them to disintegrate and fly in all directions. People have had magnet fragments embedded in their ceiling. It would be wise to build a housing enclosing the rotor and magnets so that if the magnets disintegrate, all of the fragments are contained safely.
Ronald Knight has many years of professional experience in handling batteries and in pulse-charging them. He comments on battery safety as follows:
I have not heard of anyone having a catastrophic failure of a battery case in all the energy groups to which I belong and most of them use batteries in the various systems which I study. However, that does not mean that it cannot happen. The most common reason for catastrophic failure in the case of a lead-acid battery, is arcing causing failure in the grids which are assembled together inside the battery to make up the cells of the battery. Any internal arcing will cause a rapid build up of pressure from expanding Hydrogen gas, resulting in a catastrophic failure of the battery case.
I am a former maintenance engineer for U.S. Batteries, so I can say with confidence, that when you receive a new battery from at least that manufacturer, you receive a battery which has undergone the best test available to insure the manufacturer that he is not selling junk which will be sent back to him. It is a relatively easy test, and as it takes place during the initial charge, there is no wasted time nor is there one battery that escapes the pass-or-fail test. The battery is charged with the absolute maximum current which it can take. If the battery does not blow up due to internal arcing during the initial charge it is highly likely that it will not blow up under the regular use for which it was designed. However, all bets are off with used batteries that have gone beyond their expected life.
I have witnessed several catastrophic failures of battery cases daily at work. I have been standing right next to batteries (within 12 inches) when they explode (it is like a .45 ACP pistol round going off) and have only been startled and had to change my under shorts and Tyvek jump-suit, and wash off my rubber boots. I have been in the charge room with several hundred batteries at a time positioned very closely together and have seen batteries explode almost every working day and I have never seen two side by side blow, nor have I ever seen one fire or any flash damage to the case or surrounding area as a result. I have never even seen a flash but what I have seen tells me it is wise to always wear eye protection when charging.
I have my new gel cells in a heavy plastic zip-lock bags partly unzipped when in the house and in a marine battery box outside in the garage, that is just in the remote chance of catastrophic failure or the more likely event of acid on the outside of the battery case.
Vented batteries are always a risk of spillage which is their most common hazard, they should always be in a plastic lined cardboard or plastic box with sides taller than the battery and no holes in it. You would be surprised at how far away I have found acid around a vented lead acid battery under charge.
Have an emergency plan, keep a box of baking soda and a water source around to neutralise and flush the acid in case of spillage. It is best to have plastic under and around wherever your lead-acid batteries are located.
Ronald Knight gets about fifteen times more power from his Bedini-charged batteries than is drawn from the driving side of the circuit. He stresses that this does not happen immediately, as the batteries being charged have to be "conditioned" by repeated cycles of charging and discharging. When this is done, the capacity of the batteries being charged increases. Interestingly, the rate of current draw on the driving side of the circuit is not increased if the battery bank being charged is increased in capacity. This is because the power which charges the batteries flows from the environment and not from the driving battery. The driving battery just produces the high-voltage spikes which trigger the energy flow from the environment, and as a consequence of that the battery bank being charged can be a higher voltage than the 12-volt driving battery, and there can be any number of batteries in the charging bank.
Ron Pugh's Charger. John Bedini's designs have been experimented with and developed by a number of enthusiasts. This in no way detracts from fact that the whole system and concepts come from John and I should like to express my sincere thanks to John for his most generous sharing of his systems. Thanks is also due to Ron Pugh who has kindly agreed for the details of one of his Bedini generators to be presented here. Let me stress again, that if you decide to build and use one of these devices, you do so entirely at your own risk and no responsibility for your actions rests with John Bedini, Ron Pugh or anyone else. Let me stress again that this document is provided for information purposes only and is not a recommendation or encouragement for you to build a similar device.
Ron's device is much more powerful than the average system, having fifteen coil windings and it performs most impressively. Here is a picture of it rotating at high speed:
This is not a toy. It draws significant current and produces substantial charging rates. This is how Ron chose to build his device. The rotor is constructed from aluminium discs which were to hand but he would have chosen aluminium for the rotor if starting from scratch as his experience indicates that it is a very suitable material for the rotor. The rotor has six magnets inserted in it. These are evenly spaced 60 degrees apart with the North poles all facing outwards.
The magnets are normal ceramic types about 22 mm wide, 47 mm long and 10 mm high. Ron uses two of these in each of his six rotor slots. He bought several spare ones and then graded all of them in order of their magnetic strength, which varies a bit from magnet to magnet. Ron did this grading using a gauss meter. An alternative method would have been to use a paper clip about 30 mm in size and measure the distance at which one end of the clip just starts to rise up off the table as the magnet is moved towards it:
Having graded the magnets in order of strength, Ron then took the best twelve and paired them off, placing the weakest and strongest together, the second weakest and the second strongest, and so on. This produced six pairs which have fairly closely matching magnetic strengths. The pairs of magnets were then glued in place in the rotor using super glue:
It is not desirable to recess the magnets though it is possible to place a restraining layer around the circumference of the rotor as the clearance between the magnet faces and the coils is about a quarter of an inch (6 mm) when adjusted for optimum performance. The North poles of the magnets face outwards as shown in the diagram above. If desired, the attachment of the magnets can be strengthened by the addition of blank side plates to the rotor which allows the magnet gluing to be implemented on five of the six faces of the magnet pairs:
The magnets embedded in the outer edge of the rotor are acted on by wound "coils" which act as 1:1 transformers, electromagnets, and pickup coils. There are three of these "coils", each being about 3 inches long and wound with five strands of #19 AWG (20 SWG) wire. The coil formers were made from plastic pipe of 7/8 inch (22 mm) outer diameter which Ron drilled out to an inner diameter of 3/4 inch (19 mm) which gives a wall thickness of 1/16 inch (1.5 mm). The end pieces for the coil formers were made from 1/8 inch (3 mm) PVC which was fixed to the plastic tube using plumbers PVC glue. The coil winding was with the five wires twisted around each other. This was done by clamping the ends of the five wires together at each end to form one 120 foot long bundle.
The bundle of wires was then stretched out and kept clear of the ground by passing it through openings in a set of patio chairs. A battery-powered drill was attached to one end and operated until the wires were loosely twisted together. This tends to twist the ends of the wires together to a greater extent near the end of the bundle rather than the middle. So the procedure was repeated, twisting the other end of the bundle. It is worth remarking in passing, that the drill turns in the same direction at each end in order to keep the twists all in the same direction. The twisted bundle of wires is collected on a large-diameter reel and then used to wind one of the "coils".

If you were to distill into a sentence all of the praise for David Crohan and the last-of-the-great-piano-men magic he weaves in Palm Beach, you might end up with something like this: "He's a musical treasure and we're lucky to have him."
Well, the treasure is back.
At Café L'Europe, where he has been the resident pianist for more than a decade.
This past Friday, Crohan, who summers in Martha's Vineyard, began his 12th season at Café L'Europe, tinkling the ivories with his seemingly infinite repertoire: Chopin to the Great American Songbook to pop—and he knows it all by heart and rarely plays any of it the same way twice.
For the next several months, Crohan, who has played piano for three U.S. Presidents, among others, will be providing music to dine by—or sing or dance to—at Café L'Europe (331 S. County Road; www.cafeleurope.com).
At the restaurant, the pianist's music has been as much of a must-have dinner pairing (with, say, Dover sole or roast duck) as wine.
Crohan now plays Wednesdays through Sundays, starting at 7 p.m., at Café L'Europe.
In addition to Café L'Europe this season, Crohan also will be spotted, if seasons past are any indication, providing musical entertainment at private Palm Beach parties, among other things.
As the late actress Patricia Neal once said, "David is a virtuosic performer…(and) he's usually the first call I make when throwing an affair."
For more information about Crohan's gigs at Café L'Europe, call the restaurant at 655-4020.

Laser Prostatectomy (PVP)
Laser PVP surgery has emerged as a minimally-invasive alternative to TURP for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). With PVP, laser energy is used to vaporize prostate tissue that is obstructing the urethra and bladder neck and causing the symptoms of BPH. This is also known as "Greenlight Laser Prostatectomy." During this outpatient procedure, a scope is inserted through the tip of the penis into the urethra. A special fiber optic device at the tip of the scope then delivers laser light energy that vaporizes the portion of the prostate that is obstructing the urethra and bladder.
Since the tissue is vaporized rather than shaved or cut away, there is minimal blood loss with PVP when compared with standard prostate surgeries such as transurethral resection of prostate (TURP). Studies by the Mayo Clinic have also shown that PVP results in effective restoration of urine flow for many years, and few of the men developed serious long lasting side effects.
One side effect of PVP is retrograde ejaculation, or ejaculating into the bladder rather than through the penis; however this can be a side effect of traditional surgery or medical therapy as well.

On 23 April, The Guardian reported that Palestinian diplomats had filed an inter-state complaint against Israel for breaches of its obligations under the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (ICERD). According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates of the State of Palestine:
Palestine is a State whose territory remains under a belligerent colonial occupation. For its part, Israel, the occupying Power, has maintained its colonial occupation over the past fifty years by imposing racist and discriminatory policies against Palestinian citizens. Confronting this pervasive reality of racism and discrimination is a priority. This cannot wait. It should not. No person or people should be asked to tolerate racism or the violence and injustice it breeds.
The Guardian writes that "the submission is believed to be the first interstate complaint filed under the treaty". This is true in relation to ICERD, and also the entirety of the UN international human rights treaties; as the OHCHR highlights in its portal on inter-state complaints: "Note: these procedures have never been used."
The inter-state procedure is not found in every treaty – there is no formal procedure for filing inter-state complaints under CEDAW and its Optional Protocol. The procedure is found in ICCPR, ICESCR, CAT, CMW, CED and Optional Protocols, but it is generally optional and both States have to have recognised the competence of the Committee to receive such communications.

HomeStars Best 0f 2018
Christie Lakes Project
The chair of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Ottawa section, reached out to us at HomeStars to express his gratitude toward Horizon Plumbing and Piping systems and nominate them for this award. He began telling us that, "we have a program called EPICS (Engineering Projects in Community Service). Some of the rules for grant funding of EPICS projects are involvement with high school students and local charitable organizations. We approached Christie Lakes Kids and through their Inner City kids program, developed an idea where the high school kids could apply for a grant to implement solar-powered hot showers for the island camp. Once the project was picked we approached Marc Rainville from Horizon Plumbing to help us obtain supplies (covered by our EPICs grant) and asked if he could volunteer some time and expertise to help us install the water system and a build a shed to house it. Most of the installation was completed this fall, with plans for the final turn up on the showers in the spring, for the next summer session at the camp. Marc gladly agreed to help us out with this project. Thanks to Marc and his team for their contribution to the success of this project." A big thank you to Marc and Horizon Plumbing and Piping system for your generosity!
