Annual General Meeting: Volkswagen Group Announces Multi-Billion Investments In Eco-Friendly Drives
Annual General Meeting: Volkswagen Group Announces Multi-Billion Investments In Eco-Friendly Drives
By: Volkswagen
•Volkswagen Group seeking global leadership in e-mobility by 2025
•Conventional engines to become further 10 to 15 percent more efficient and cleaner by 2020
•Group CEO Müller: 'Diesel will remain indispensable for the foreseeable future.'
•'TOGETHER – Strategy 2025' future program already set important milestones for realignment of Group
– The Volkswagen Group is pressing ahead with the transformation of mobility. 'The future is electric. We intend to be the No. 1 in e-mobility by 2025', Matthias Müller, CEO of Volkswagen AG, announced at the Group's Annual General Meeting in Hanover. Throughout the Group, intensive efforts are underway to help achieve the breakthrough of this technology. At the same time, the Volkswagen Group is continuing to develop diesel and petrol engines, making them even more efficient and eco-friendly.
Müller made it plain at the Annual General Meeting that 'conventional engines will remain indispensable for the foreseeable future.' The CEO also updated the 3,000 shareholders attending the Annual General Meeting at the Exhibition Grounds in Hanover on the status of efforts to deal with the diesel crisis and showed how the Volkswagen Group was successfully realigning for the future of mobility with 'TOGETHER – Strategy 2025'. Volkswagen became the first automaker to give a concrete insight into a fully autonomous vehicle when it unveiled Sedric (Self-Driving-Car) at the Geneva Motor Show.
'In order to provide affordable, sustainable mobility on a large scale we will continue to deploy the complete spectrum of drive types: from conventional to fully electric', Müller said, outlining the Group's drivetrain strategy. He explained that the 12-brand Group is sending clear signals for the expansion of e-mobility. The Group has invested some three billion euros in alternative drive technologies over the past five years and will be tripling this amount in the course of the next five years.
'This is how the Group will be rolling out more than 10 new electrified models by the end of 2018. By 2025, we will be adding over 30 more BEVs.' The newly-established Center of Excellence in Salzgitter will bundle Group-wide competence in battery cells and modules. 'At the same time, we are conducting intensive negotiations to establish partnerships in the field of battery cells in Europe and China. You will soon be hearing more about this', the CEO added.
According to Müller, modern internal combustion engines will nevertheless be indispensable for the foreseeable future: 'This applies also and especially to the Euro 6 diesel, despite the current heated debate.' In total, the Volkswagen Group will be investing around 10 billion euros in these technologies by 2022, Müller: 'The internal combustion engine primarily is part of the solution, not part of the problem.' And he added: '124 years after it was invented, the diesel engine still has plenty of potential. And we intend to exploit that potential. By 2020, we will have made our internal combustion engines between 10 and 15 percent more efficient, and therefore also cleaner. This will help protect the environment and conserve resources.'

Müller highlighted how the realignment of the Group was gaining a foothold, citing numerous further initiatives: 'Volkswagen is becoming faster, more focused, and more customer-driven.' The guiderail for all this is 'TOGETHER – Strategy 2025', the Volkswagen Group's program for the future. In Müller's words: 'We are transforming Volkswagen from an automaker into a globally leading mobility provider.' He added: 'Volkswagen needs to transform, because our industry will see more fundamental changes in the coming decade than we have experienced over the past 100 years.'
A new era calls for new ways of thinking: 'More agile and courageous. More entrepreneurial and pragmatic.' He emphasized that this was just as important as technological change: 'I am convinced that an open culture, strong values, and integrity in our actions are essential for the future of Volkswagen.' TOGETHER – Strategy 2025 has a clear goal: 'What sounds great on paper must become part and parcel of everyday behavior.'
Another central element of the program for the future is partnerships to develop new business opportunities or advance new technologies. According to Müller: 'Part of becoming the 'new' Volkswagen involves opening up as a company. In recent months, we have forged many promising partnerships.'
Müller referred to several examples such as the plans to enter the economy segment with Tata, the envisaged joint venture with JAC in China to develop attractively-priced electric cars, and numerous cooperation projects in the field of mobility services. 'Building great cars is no longer enough' to secure the future. 'Today's customers expect more with regard to mobility. And these new customer requirements also mean that we need to change.'
Notwithstanding the diesel crisis, Volkswagen is well prepared to face fundamental change in the automotive industry. 'In the last fiscal year, we laid the foundations for the most extensive transformation in the history of Volkswagen. And we put up an operative performance that was much better than many people had thought possible', Müller said: 'For 2017, it's now 'full speed ahead'!'

Fresh off the heels of what most people consider a classic hip-hop album, in 1997 Jay-Z returned with In My Lifetime Vol. 1, a jagged effort, with an awkward schism between commercial and underground records that seriously tarnishes his sophomore album. It seems as though The Hitmen, Diddy's production company, who produced the majority of the album, simply did not understand Jay-Z as an artist, that they had not heard his debut and did not understand what tracks suited his lyrical content and style. It is also clear that Jay-Z, as Executive Producer, is still a bit unclear about himself as an artist, as this album, somewhat in the vein of The Notorious B.I.G.'s two-disc opus Life After Death, tries to be everything to everyone. And while that album was largely a triumph, Jay-Z's own doesn't work nearly as well.
The first two tracks provide ample evidence of Jay-Z's own competing artistic impulses. A Million and 1 Questions is a beautifully intricate and evocative, yet firmly underground, introductory track. The beat by the excellent DJ Premier changes from a lighter beat with a sample of Aaliyah's One in a Million, coupled with immodestly introspective lyrics-during which he wonders aloud, among other things, how he measures up to deceased friend The Notorious B.I.G., to an even grimier beat with attendant threats aimed at unnamed foes. This is followed by The City of Mine, which is a cute but forced interpolation of Glenn Frey's You Belong to the City, where he concludes that he is in fact heir to B.I.G.'s legacy. Both tracks address largely the same topic, but whereas the production of the first is perfectly suited to Jay-Z's lyrical density, the second would have benefited greatly from fewer syllables per verse.
This critical oversight-of not simplifying his verses to match the production is understandable, particular as this is just Jay-Z's second album in a little over a year. Less forgivable is that the album is rife with mediocre commercial tracks and marred by throwaway verses from guest stars. The aforementioned The City is Mine is a showy song with a syrupy hook that is odds with Jay-Z's Reasonable Doubt or his In My Lifetime Vol. 1 paranoia. I Know What Girls Like is one of the absolute worst recordings in Jay-Z's entire catalog, with unspectacular verses over a thoroughly unlikeable beat. Sunshine, a duet with Foxy Brown is ostensibly weaker than the previous album's Aint No… because The Hitmen's production overpower both sets of vocals, and the hook saps any sense of seriousness from the song.
It goes without saying that none of these tracks match the down-to-earth wit of a Juicy, the relentless charisma of a Big Poppa or the flat-out catchiness of a Hypnotize. Jay's strength lies in subtle yet vehemently cerebral verse replete with insights about inner-city New York. Unfortunately, neither Jay-Z nor his Co-Executive Producer Damon "Dame" Dash are talented enough at this point to marry Jay's style with an appropriate and popular sound as Diddy was able to do with B.I.G.. Jay's attempts to match B.I.G.'s songwriting success are this album's biggest failures.
But then you have the underground tracks where Jay-Z shines: Where I'm From, a gripping description of the Brooklyn of the rapper's past, would have easily fit amongst other vintage Jay-Z tracks on Reasonable Doubt, as would Rap Game/Crack Game (in which the rapper compares the two) or Streets is Watching. The latter track is a minor hip-hop masterpiece, featuring some of his most intricate rhymes; its tone is redolent of Can I Live from the rapper's debut (though inexplicably, the censored version is featured on the explicit version of the album). Face Off feels like a male version of Ain't No… with Jay-Z and Sauce Money trading raucous lines back and forth each verse. And You Must Love Me is one of the most compelling and personal records of his career, wherein he touches on his guilt over his crimes, including accidentally shooting his brother as a child.
As far as guests are concerned, then-popular Lil Kim's verse is incidental, as is Foxy Brown's verse. Sauce Money is great and once again, complements Jay's own lyrical acuity and complexity with his own. Too Short staccato rhymes are complimentary, but the guests as a whole were stronger on Reasonable Doubt. You almost wish some of the artists sampled in fact contributed verses, such as Andre 3000 of Outkast or Nas, both of whom are sampled on Rap Game/Crack Game.
Imaginary Player is an ode to Jay-Z's richer-than-thou ethos, exemplified by lines like "Your single was ninety-nine cents/Mine was four bucks." But it's Lucky Me that serves as the ethos of the album, a glossy beat with meditative lyrics that barely fit. Here, though Jay-Z focuses less on the perils of the street life, and more on the perils of fame, which replaces Reasonable Doubt's Mafia undercurrent throughout In My Lifetime Vol. 1. And while the humor, sincerity, and earnestness of Reasonable Doubt is still here, he is clearly more aware of himself as a rap star, more confident, and much bolder. He is also seemingly impatient: as much as he is concerned with the dark side of fame, he wants more of it. Seeing himself the heir to B.I.G.'s legacy, he wants us to accept it without reservation, and afford him B.I.G.'s success. Depending on your perspective of Jay-Z's own body of work, this may be off-putting and disrespectful, or spot-on and appropriate.
The commercial records are less likely to stick with you after a listen or two; the underground records do however remain. In My Lifetime Vol. 1 is worth a listen though, to understand Jay-Z's development as an artist better. But if you don't really care how the Jay-Z of Reasonable Doubt became one of the most well-known rappers alive, there are some great songs here too.

When you think coconut water, post-workout hydration and healthy smoothies come to mind, right? Jessica Alba and chef Anthony Sasso of Casa Mono set out to change coconut water's limited image at a recent Institute of Culinary Education four-course luncheon in which the Hollywood starlet and classically-trained chef used Zico coconut water varieties in each and every healthy and satisfying dish, from a kale salad dressed with olive oil and coconut water and chicken kebobs topped with mangos, to a watermelon popsicle layered with frozen coconut water and a decadent flourless chocolate cake (baked with the Zico chocolate water, of course).
Chef Anthony Sasso had plenty of advice when it came to cooking with this slightly unusual ingredient. When making the kale salad for instance, he recommended using more coconut water than olive oil in the dressing to make the salad a little healthier. He also said that when cooking with coconut water, to remember that it is the juicier variety of coconut milk, and that the milk should be used to prepare things like thick smoothies.
Jessica Alba said she also loves to use coconut water as a dressing, but that cooking with Zico is just one component of the health-conscious and somewhat strict lifestyle that she's passed down to her children.
"My kids have been drinking coconut water for years," said Alba, who always keeps fresh fruits and vegetables in the house, and never any processed foods. "My attitude is that I at least want them to try it; they don't have to like it, but I will not have them eating chicken nuggets. I'm like, you're gonna starve and you'll get time out."

His talk took us through from the beginnings of the struggle for the traditional Mass until the present. It was useful to be reminded of the story and to learn more of the background detail.

One thing in particular struck me. Under the terms of the original indult for England and Wales Mass was celebrated at Esh Laude. This is an attractive and historic church but in a remote rural location. However it was not far from Ushaw College, the seminary, as was, for the north, where I was studying, so it proved to be a convenient location from my point of view. Originally permission was given for Mass only three times a year. The then LMS diocesan rep, Jack Harvey, decided one year to ask for a fourth annual Mass to commemorate the anniversary of local martyrs.

Leo told the story thus:

In the late 1970s the LMS diocesan representative managed to obtain permission from the bishop for three Masses per year under the 'English Indult'. They had to be late on a Wednesday evening in an isolated parish and no advertising was allowed. On one occasion the representative asked for a fourth Mass to commemorate the anniversary of four local Reformation martyrs. The bishop was furious and threatened that if he didn't stop harassing him then he would stop the lot! Three Masses per year!!!

The bishop was bishop Lindsay. He retired in 1992 and died in 2009. In his latter years we had a regular email correspondence, much of which I still have, as he used to read Forest Murmurs and offered me his thoughts on the issues addressed. I was very sorry when I heard of his death as he had invited me to go to see him the following week to talk and, as he had been quite supportive in our meetings at diocesan events, I was very much looking forward to talking to him about it all.

There are rumours that Summorum Pontificum may be revoked. I can`t see how this is possible given the statement by pope Benedict that the traditional Roman missal had never been abrogated. (I had argued in my canon law tesina that it had been obrogated but not abrogated.) If such a thing happens then many may take inspiration from bishop Lindsay`s successor, bishop Ambrose Griffiths, who said that when he got new instructions from Rome he put them in the bottom draw of his desk and left them there.

Delighted to see this today. The Institute of Christ the King recently announced they are opening a school in Preston. Now they have a second church. I was interested to read this as a friend of mine was a curate in English Martyrs and I used to go to visit. A fabulous church and so good that it will be staffed by the Institute. Let`s hope they one day cross the Pennines and open up in Hexham and Newcastle.

This Friday is a significant day. Not only does our bishop, Seamus Cunningham, turn 75 and so reach the age at which his resignation must be submitted to the Holy See but it also marks the tenth anniversary of the publication of Summorum Pontificum. Nothing much seems to be going on in the diocese to mark this anniversary so I thought to do something. We are having a Missa Cantata on Friday at 7pm to give thanks. The Mass will be for the feast of SS Cyril and Methodius who are not without liturgical significance, but after Mass there will be a talk from our own Leo Darroch, former president of Una Voce International, the umbrella committee for the societies throughout the world which seek to promote the Extraordinary Form of the liturgy.

Leo will talk to us about his perspective on the ten years of SP. He has just written a history of Una Voce for the period 1964-2003 which is about to be published by Gracewing. The flyer by Lord Gill says:

This book is a straightforward document. It eschews the debate on the merits of the old rite an the shortcomings of the new. I does not dwell on the consequences to Cathlic liturgy of the introduction of the Novus Ordo. It simply records in unemotional detail the ways in which for nearly forty years faithful Catholics were denied access to the old rite.

Sounds like an essential read and quite a hefty one too at five hundred pages. So if you`d like to hear Leo Darroch`s reflections on Summorum Pontificum then do come on Friday night. The talk will be about forty minutes with an opportunity for questions. Refreshments will be available too.

Sadly I couldn`t make the ordinations for the FSSP on Saturday. It would have been wonderful to be there. If asked thirty years ago which diocese in England would be the first to hold ordinations according to the traditional books I would never have thought it would have been Liverpool, then with archbishop Worlock in charge. How things change. Let`s hope there`s more of this kind of thing to come! Congratulations to the newly ordained. Ad multos annos!

This is timely. I was talking to a priest recently, telling him how a
mutual friend had asked advice about where to buy a special vestment
which a parishioner had given a large sum to buy. I was surprised when this priest said his main concern in buying vestments are whether they are washable. Not
something on my list of priorities! Oh and I have someone coming to fix
my washer/dryer tomorrow.

However not everyone who reads my blog reads his (although I would recommend they do).

There was an article on Catholicculture.org which I thought useful in the light of Forward Together In Hope. Phil Lawler speaks about the situation in Boston USA but the responses to their sitauation I thought instructive for us too. He sets out four responses to the current Catholic meltdown. These are:

A) "This is a disaster! Stop everything. Drop what you're doing. "Business as usual" makes no sense; this is a pastoral emergency. We don't just need another "renewal" program, offered by the same people who have led us into this debacle. We need to figure out what has gone wrong. More than that. We know that the Gospel has the power to bring people to Christ; therefore it follows that we have failed to proclaim the Gospel. The fault lies with us. We should begin with repentance for our failures."

B) "Don't worry. Times change, and we have to change with them. Religion isn't popular in today's culture, but the faith will make a comeback sooner or later. We just need to keep plugging away, to have confidence, to remember God's promise that the Church will endure forever."

C) "It doesn't really matter whether or not people go to church on Sunday. As long as we're all nice people, God in his mercy will bring us all to heaven."

 D) "Don't bother me with your statistics. Actually the faith is stronger than ever. Our parish/diocese is vibrant! You're only seeing the negative.
Sounds a fair summary of the responses to me. He notes:

 Response C) is not Catholic. Response D) is—how shall I put this gently?—not rational. Unfortunately, I hear B), C), and D) much more often than A). Don't you?

I`ve been meaning to advertise these talks in advance. Tomorrow we have Hugh Shankland giving the following talk:<i>Out of Italy-The Italians in the North East</i>.. Hugh`s book is available on Amazon and I feel certain copies will be available at the talk.There is a synopsis of the book:

Out of Italy concerns the Italian contribution to life in North-East England since Roman times, with particular attention to the last 250 years. Italian-Swiss stuccoists decorated many of the region's finest historic buildings; a colony of skilled craftsmen from Como specialised in manufacturing optical instruments in Victorian Newcastle; and there have lived among us gifted Italian architects, artists, glass-blowers, mosaic workers, and even, briefly, Giuseppe Garibaldi. In the nineteenth century, numerous Italians from a peasant background found their way here to try their luck as street traders and organ-grinders, chestnut sellers and ice cream makers, and many went on to found their families' fortunes. But with the Second World War, when anti-Italian feeling ran high, the community's resilience was tested to the utmost: even elderly long-settled Italians were interned as 'enemy aliens', while other family members served in the British forces, one even winning the VC. From 1942, thousands of Italian prisoners-of-war filled labour camps in the North-East, and a few eventually settled. Mass emigration from Italy resumed after the war, bringing hundreds of men and women to work among us. Their presence and their skills, like those of their many forerunners, have coloured the life of our region in numerous ways. Over 300 evocative illustrations accompany a lively narrative which details the lives of many individuals and families within the broader context of their times. This is the first book to study Italian immigration in a region of England in such detail and over such a long period of time

We`ve had a number of talks about the Irish in the North East so this will be a new perspective. Maybe one day we`ll get a talk on the Polish community in the North East.

The talk will be held in the meeting room at St Andrew`s church, Worswick St, Newcastle starting at 2.15pm. All welcome.

So yesterday we celebrated the feast of St Joseph with a splendid Solemn High Mass. Pictures to follow. That was what the diocesan ordo said was to happen. However the cathedral celebrated St Cuthbert and is celebrating St Joseph today. What of St Cuthbert for the rest of the diocese of Hexham and Newcastle? I might have thought being a patron of the diocese and a solemnity he might still have made an appearance somewhere.

Others have noticed this too. Rubricarius left a comment on the previous post and Ttony of The Muniment Room has drawn attention to this. In 1865 March 19th was a Sunday. This is what his English ordo for 1865 has to offer:

19 SUNDAY, Third of Lent, semidouble. Violet. First Vespers of St Cuthbert, commemoration of the Sunday. [In Diocese of Liverpool, Plenary Indulgence, and in Diocese of Southwark, Plenary Indulgence for eight days for St Joseph.]

20 Monday St Cuthbert, Bishop Confessor, double. White. [In Diocese of Hexham and Newcastle, Patron, double of first class with an Octave. Creed. Plenary Indulgence.]

21 Tuesday St Benedict, Abbot Confessor, double. White.

22 Wednesday St JOSEPH, Spouse of the BVM, double of the second class (transferred from 19 March). White. [In Diocese of Plymouth, St Edward, King Martyr, double. Red.]

23 Thursday St Patrick, greater double (transferred from 17 March). White. [In Diocese of Plymouth, St Joseph, double of the second class (transferred from 19 March). White.]
.

Not only does St Joseph step out of the way for the third Sunday of Lent and St Cuthbert but also St Benedict, moving him to the 22nd! But then St Joseph was known for his selflessness and willingness to stay in the background. Interestingly St Patrick was moved around too, to the 23rd.

Rubricarius drew my attention to an interesting aspect of all this. St Cuthbert in H and N had his own octave! In Lent! I was surprised that St Joseph didn`t merit an octave but then again he wouldn`t mind... Rubricarius wrote to me saying: the praxis was conceded by specific grant of the Holy See to very limited number of dioceses but no further ones allowed from 1895. Did you realise you are living in a highly privileged diocese?

An octave of St Cuthbert in the middle of Lent would be exciting. Would this mean a relaxation of Lenten discipline through those days? I wonder when it stopped? In fact I`m a fan of octaves at the best of times. Clearly the Pentecost Octave needs restoring as a priority but then we could have the others too. I wonder if there is an Ocatve Society pressing for their restoration?

Still it`s strange about the cathedral. Rubricarius thinks it must be in the hands of Rad Trads.

 ST JOSEPH UPDATE

I went down to church to celebrate the 12.05 OF Mass to find confusion in the sacristy. John our weekday server, had said his office using the H & N setting on Universalis and found it said today was St Joseph`s day and yesterday was St Cuthbert`s. As he had just finished lighting the 29 candles we had set out in St Joseph`s chapel as well as the big six and the Mass was for an intention of his I gave him the benefit of the doubt. `If the cathedral can do it then so can I` I thought. Also we hadn`t had OF Mass at St Joseph`s yesterday as I celebrate on Monday at St Wilfrid`s. At the start of Mass I explained the situation but found myself informed by Pat who was near the front that there had been a mistake in the ordo and that it should be St Joseph today. if this was true I thought we would have been emailed to inform us of the situation. While I`m here a happy St Benedict`s` day today for those who are celebrating his feast today!

St Cuthbert seems to be kicked into touch this year so far as I can tell.

On Sunday evening I was delighted to entertain some old friends who used to work in Newcastle but now work in Berlin. They are Evangelicals and very involved in their local Lutheran church. On Sunday morning they had been for the Sunday service at St Joseph`s, Benwell, Newcastle.</a> That may sound strange as Evangelical churches are not normally dedicated to St Joseph. You`ve probably guessed: St Joseph`s until recently was a Catholic church of the diocese of Hexham and Newcastle. In fact it still features on the Taking Stock website as a Catholic church. I`ve never been inside but had always thought it would be worth a visit one day but never made it. The design is unusual for a Catholic church in the North East with its large dome. On Sunday they were celebrating their first anniversary as an Evangelical place of worship. ( No mention of Lent on the service sheet.).

The last Catholic parish priest of St Joseph`s was Fr Jim O`Keefe. From what I heard the parishioners were told that their church needed urgent rewiring which would cost £40,000 and as they had no money it would have to close. It was sold to the Evangelicals for £1. Fr Jim has been leading our diocesan review Forward Together In Hope since then which has just concluded its three year review of the diocese, looking at how we manage decline.

St Joseph`s, Benwell, as it now is

The Evangelicals were from Jesmond Parish Church which has long been a flourishing community. Technically they are part of the C of E but the links seem rather complicated. Nonetheless JPC set about planting a church in Benwell at St Joseph`s. They had already done this in Gateshead in St Wilfrid`s parish where they built on the work of an independent church in the Old Fold to create Holy Trinity parish where they have built a new church. My guests told me how one hundred or so members of JPC were sent to get St Joseph`s off the ground. They worked hard and by what they called `sacrificial giving` raised over £1 million to restore the building. Through hard work and professional skill motivated by faith they have made St Joseph`s into a flourishing community with a congregation of nearly three hundred.

Meanwhile FTIH seeks to review the Catholic situation in the North East. The talk is of building flourishing communities and supporting smaller communities. I suggest we have something to learn from JPC. I have a small parish in a challenging area of Gateshead in St Wilfrid`s parish. There the small congregation have been following closely the developments of FTIH worrying that they may be earmarked for closure. No closures were announced at the big meetings to conclude the process held on 9th February but the threat is still there. Could we ever imagine a large, prosperous Catholic parish such as St Charles, Gosforth or the cathedral sending a hundred parishioners to St Wilfrid`s every Sunday to help revive the parish and start `sacrificial giving`? They would have to start a programme of evangelisation which means we would have to know and love the Catholic faith and have a zeal to pass it on to others. That would mean absorbing the Catechism of the Catholic Church and using the means that have been produced to teach it in an appealing way. It seems unlikely at the present despite the efforts of the diocesan evangelisation team. The reported remarks of the new Superior General of the Jesuits about how he hates to hear talk of doctrine summed up the problem. All we seem to hear about is decline and the goal seems to be to remove priests from their role as pastors and reinvent them as chaplains to lay-led communities. I don`t understand how that will create flourishing Catholic communities. As I heard said at the last deanery meeting we are moving the deckchairs on the Titanic as the band strikes up "All are welcome".

If the Catholic church was a business seeking to promote itself (wait a minute though, the diocese of Hexham and Newcastle is now a limited company: that sounds like a business!) surely we would play to our strengths. What has the Catholic Church got to offer that is unique and appealing? Things like an unbroken tradition of teaching from the age of the apostles, having been the religion of this land down to the Reformation, timeless beauty in its architecture, art, music and liturgy, the lives of its saints come to mind. For my point of view promoting the appeal of the Mass of the Ages as found in the Extraordinary Form should be a major part of this. It`s not going to go away and despite the lack of promotion or even mention of it in diocesan circles the Extraordinary Form continues to attract. The congregation here at Gateshead continues to impress by its steady growth and the number of young people who attend. Our Ordinary Form Mass on a Sunday has benefited from immigration too with parishioners from Roumania, Hungary, Israel, Mexico, Nigeria, the Philippines, China, India, Slovakia, Poland and Germany. St Wilfrid`s does have a flourishing Sunday community of nearly two hundred people in the weekly Polish Mass. They don`t seem to have been involved in the FTIH process but they are young and keen. We could learn from their enthusiasm to preserve their Catholic culture too.

What JPC has done in Benwell surely has something we can learn from. I hope our Catholic communities will indeed flourish but they can only do so if they are well-formed in the faith as handed down from past generations.

One of the discs I received over Christmas was this recording by the monks of Fontgombault. I`m glad to say that I`ve been there once when I went for a retreat with a group of English priests in the 1990`s. This disc is a re-issue of recordings originally issued in 1973 with five pieces added from the 1990`s which include the opening and closing organ pieces.

I`m no expert on chant. I have been to a number of `chant for beginners` days which only left me more confused and increased my admiration for those who can sing it. Being used to a five line stave I never really understood why it`s easier to sing chant from a four line stave but I`ve no doubt it is. The last introduction I went to said it was simply a matter of remembering the tonic sol-fa but that didn`t help very much either.

The Fongombault monks sing with a meditative mellifluous style. All the chant both the propers and ordinary are accompanied by the organ. I like this as it gives warmth but I have had differences of opinion with others who believe chant should be sung unaccompanied. However for me the discreet organ accompaniment is a plus. The highlight of the Mass for me was the gradual Audi Filia. I love hearing the full setting of the gradual at Mass and value the opportunity for reflection between the epistle and the Gospel but I have met people who don`t think it`s suitable in a parish setting. I`m not sure why. The soaring notes of this gradual moved me.

There is a technical problem in that although the track listings on the cover are in the right order something has gone wrong with the disc so that the gradual is followed by the Creed and then comes the Alleluia verse. Strangely there is no recording of the offertory antiphon. I know it`s not in the missal for the Ordinary Form although I understand it is in the new chant books but I thought it would be here given that the conventual Mass at Fontgombault is not Novus Ordo but a 1965/67.

 variant.

Second Vespers begins with track 11. Here again the running order gets confused as the second psalm (Laudate pueri) precedes the first (Dixit Dominus) on the disc. Similarly after the Magnificat the track listing gives 21 Salve Regina, 22 Organ recessional and 23 Angelus bells (followed by general bell-ringing) but on the disc the bells come immediately after the Magnificat after which there is the Salve Regina and closing organ music.

I`ve listened to the disc twice now and am very pleased to have a reminder of Fongombault and hope one day to visit again.

Our year here at Gateshead is getting off to a good start. After Chris, our organist and choirmaster, decided to step down, the position has been filled by Paul Dewhurst. Many thanks to Chris for all his work in 2016. Paul brings enthusiasm and experience to the job. Sung Mass is normally on the first and third Sundays.

This Sunday we are joined by some of the Westland Singers too. The music this Sunday is:

Proper of the Mass: sung to psalm tone 3

Kyrie..Gruber.

Gloria.. Mass in RE.Bevenot.
Offertory.. Jesu Rex admirabilis. Palestrina

Credo 3

Sanctus.. Orbis factor.
Agnus.Dei.Gruber.
Communion.. O sacrum convivium Plainchant

Final Hymn.. Let all mortal flesh keep silence.

Franz Xaver Gruber was new to me but apparently wrote 60 Mass settings but is mainly remembered for Silent Night.

Other things in 2017 include the 10th anniversary of Summorum Pontificum on July 7th. We will be having a Solemn High Mass of Thanksgiving and pulling out all the stops we can. It also marks the 75th birthday of our bishop, Seamus Cunningham, so we will be remembering him on the day he qualifies for retirement which we pray is long and happy. Let`s hope we don`t have a long wait before his successor is appointed.

There will be Mass at Brinkburn in September. it would also be worthwhile trying to get a Mass at Ushaw again. They seem to be more interested in the history of the place now than when I was there so I hope we can do this.

I received a number of interesting CDs of sacred music over Christmas and hope to write about these soon.

On Christmas Eve, we will place ourselves once again before the Crib to contemplate, astonished, the "Word made flesh." Sentiments of joy and gratitude, like in every year, are renewed in our hearts as we hear the melodies of Christmas carols, which sing of, in so many languages, the same, extraordinary miracle. The Creator of the universe, out of love, came to make his dwelling among men. In the Letter to the Philippians, St. Paul affirms that Christ, "though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men" (2:6). He appeared in human form, adds the Apostle, humbling himself. At holy Christmas we will relive the realization of this sublime mystery of grace and mercy.

Pope Benedict XVI 21.12.06

Those were the days!

Merry Christmas to anyone out there still reading this!

Silence seems to be all the rage at the minute, what with Pope Francis` silence in the face of a request from the four cardinals for clarification. Hitherto he hasn`t been noted for silence. The papal reflection on November 23rd strangely, in discussing the works of mercy, spoke of the importance of resolving doubts! Also there was a premier in the Vatican of the new film Silence based on the novel by Shūsaku Endo ( the `Japanese Graham Greene)` which I have long found thought-provoking in telling the story of Jesuit missionaries in Japan who abandoned their faith rather than accept a martyrdom which would also have meant death for many of their converts.

However,continuing on the theme of silence the liturgy Commission of England and Wales brought out a document on the place of silence in the Mass. They only discuss the Ordinary Form. The problem is that in the OF silence can only happen as a pause which is rather unsatisfactory as no-one knows how long the pause will be and so cannot be entered in to as there is no telling when the celebrant will move on. They talk about the silence of the congregation during the readings, offertory and Eucharistic prayer but there isn`t silence in church at these points as someone is reading aloud. It is one of the great strengths of the EF Mass that it affords time for silent prayer by the congregation especially at a Low Mass during the offertory and canon. Nevertheless I thought it was interesting that the topic was being explored and towards the end there is a useful section on the importance of silence before Mass which is becoming very hard to find. Strangely we`ve not received any notice of this document in the diocese unlike Cardinal Nichol`s opinion on Cardinal Sarah`s call to say Mass ad orientem which we received very quickly.

Just before devotees of the EF Mass start feeling smug about all this I came across this useful film. Embedding is disabled but do look at this link.

Fr Michael Brownhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3397542227969375169.post-21520228965289494552016-11-20T22:21:00.000+00:002016-11-20T23:00:24.831+00:00Youth Sunday
I must say I don`t normally make much of a fuss about Youth Sunday aka the Feast of Christ the King. However at the Extraordinary Form Mass this morning I mentioned it to highlight that we have a good number of youth who come each week. They have never struck me as rigid or hiding something. Where I do find an annoying rigidity is among those who are rigid in their refusal to see anything good about the EF. We have to put up with a lot of stick at this end of things such as visiting priests who think it so clever or amusing, when they preach or make an appeal, to say the first couple of sentences of their sermon in Latin. Or are quite happy to make an appeal but then, I hear, actively dissuade people from attending the EF. The arrogance astounds me as well as just the lack of respect and straightforward courtesy. Or those who throw their hands up in horror at the mention of the EF Mass as being completely beyond the pale and not to be taken seriously in the life of the diocese and at best to be tolerated and certainly not encouraged. The letter to the bishops accompanying Summorum Pontificum said, lest we forget: What earlier generations held as sacred, remains sacred and great for us too, and it cannot be all of a sudden entirely forbidden or even considered harmful..

Those who throw a stone at young Latin Mass enthusiasts should think first about themselves and in what matters they may be unacceptably rigid before doing so.

Alleffra Guillet,Wednesday, September 16th 2015, 22:15:36 PM. Back in the Victorian age, bold patterns were all the rage (in the bedroom and everywhere else in the home). If you're craving a more dramatic aesthetic, look for bold wallpapers as either an accent wall or an all–around covering. Find a duvet cover that has patterns in the similar colors to complement the look. When using bold patterns, go with vivid colors like bright reds, yellows, blues or oranges; this helps make the patterns pop and gives your bedroom a distinctive look and feel.
Alleffra Guillet,Thursday, December 03rd 2015, 13:41:26 PM. For some people, a bedroom is not simply some place to sleep, it's also a place where they can celebrate their own personality and style. A bedroom is an oasis for personal style and favorite items that you wouldn't necessarily display in your living room. That makes it a great space for big, bold splashy art or other design elements that inspire you, but might not blend into other areas of your home.
Alleffra Guillet,Monday, November 30th 2015, 11:50:54 AM. Keep it simple while adding value by using an island to significantly increase the amount of counter space in your kitchen. Having more counter space adds obvious benefits: more room for meal prep, multiple chefs and can serve as an eating area. Create contrast by using a different material or color for the island counters than you did in the rest of the room. If your regular countertops are white quartz, try black or a dark stained wood for the island. Whether your space lacks a proper dining table or you're looking to create a more casual bar–seating option, adding low–profile seating to the island is an easy way to increase functionality and make the environment more social for both guests and the cook. Create a breakfast bar or dining table, and leave a counter overhang that offers enough room to tuck the chairs or stools underneath when not in use.
Alleffra Guillet,Saturday, November 28th 2015, 14:18:40 PM. The place where the walls meet the floor defines the size of a room both physically and visually. You can't alter the location of your walls without a construction crew, but using living room decor that emphasizes the wall's height draws the eye up and makes the room appear bigger. To accomplish this hang floor–length curtains close to the ceiling, use tall bookshelves to compel guests to look up or install crown molding.
Alleffra Guillet,Friday, November 27th 2015, 13:27:36 PM. While most small kitchens don't have the space required for large, rectangular pot racks, there are options for smaller spaces. Pot racks don't have to hang from the ceiling; some can be wall–mounted, like the pegboard wall above. Find places to add shelving for additional storage. A row of narrow shelves, added to a kitchen island, can be perfect for cookbooks. Look for additional places including corners, or over a counter.
Alleffra Guillet,Thursday, November 26th 2015, 10:05:23 AM. Mirrors push walls away and reflect light, which makes the space look bigger. Use them in front of your most attractive decor, such as flowers or rich drapes or windows, to reflect beauty and please the eye. Avoid using a mirrored wall, which can look too retro and alter your aesthetic. Instead, rely on one large framed mirror propped on the floor, or group several smaller mirrors on a wall.
Alleffra Guillet,Monday, November 23rd 2015, 00:56:07 AM. The living room is often the first room that visitors see when they walk through your front door, and the space sets the tone for how guests feel about the rest of your home. Your living room is also a place for entertaining friends and relaxing with family and its design should reflect that. While making the space physically larger would involve expensive remodeling, there are many ways to make the room look bigger that are simple to execute and budget friendly.

Silverstein to Lead a Scream-Tastic Line-up With Norma Jean at Revolution on April 14
photo by Adam Elmakias, via victoryrecords.com
Although they're forerunners of the post-post-post-hardcore generation, like so many of their peers, the guys of the Canadian quintet Silverstein largely reject the "screamo" tag. And sure, pigeonholing sucks, but let's be real. The band's sound hinges on many of that tag's lynchpins: loud, distorted guitars that love breakdowns, shrieked vocals, and emotional (perhaps sometimes self-involved) narratives told in lyrical fragments.
But what helps set the band apart from the similar-sounding crop is its geographical pedigree, and a real reverence for its more underground hardcore and emo forebears.
Based originally in Burlington, Ontario, Silverstein came up with post-hardcore big deals like Alexisonfire, Boys Night Out, and Moneen. But the guys were aware of a musical history before them -- covering songs by (and introducing their younger fans to) predecessors like Saves the Day and Lifetime. There's all that, and an honesty of expression which, no matter how much it grates with cynics, has connected with kids on a massive scale. The band's second and third full-length albums, released in 2005 and 2007, respectively, both reached the upper quarter of the Billboard 200. Its most recent effort, A Shipwreck in the Sand, was released, like the others, on Victory Records, and since its street date of March 31 seems poised for similar success.
Silverstein. With Norma Jean, blessthefall, and Before Their Eyes, Tuesday, April 14, Revolution, 200 W. Broward Blvd., Ft. Lauderdale. Show starts at 6 p.m., tickets cost $17. 954-727-0950; jointherevolution.net

musty smelling and damp, bed bugPosted Jul 2, 2017
Hotel and room smelled very musty. Room was damp from humidity. They pumped so much fragrance in elevator to cover this it gagged you. At night front desk staff stayed in back room so they had no idea who came in or out of hotel. Our first room we went through 3 remotes to get one to work. When I pulled cover back and saw BUG in bed I made them give us a new room. I had the creeps all night !

Nice Hotel I 95 St. AugustinePosted May 25, 2017
Pros: The cleanliness and staff were the high points of our stay.
Cons: I would have liked more of a selection during breakfast. Lacks fresh cut fruit, special coffee/ tea, danish, and more than two juice options.
Location: St. Augustine has numerous historical attractions, quaint shops, and specialty restaurants.
We stayed two nights for our niece's graduation. It was very quiet on the 4th floor and our room was clean and modern. The breakfast was from 6 am to 10 am. The pool and hot tub are outdoors. The staff was very helpful and always available.

People detained under the Mental Health Act are not having their
care needs adequately assessed when they leave hospital, according
to a report launched today, writes Simeon
The survey of nearly 300 people who had been detained twice over
three years, found that a third did not have a copy of their
previous discharge plan in their inpatient notes.
Only a quarter of service users were involved in writing their care
plan and less than half of plans included anything about the
person's cultural, physical health, vocational or financial
The study, by the Sainsbury Centre for Mental Health and the Mental
Health Act Commission, found that a fifth of people discharged were
readmitted within 90 days.
It calls for better monitoring of care planning, improved record
keeping and full service user involvement in writing and reviewing
care plans.
Report author Lesley Warner said the report identified good
practice as well as weaknesses, which should help others develop
effective care planning.

You can get it for $149 from Adorama right now (and maybe a few other places). You have to put it in your cart to get the price. [They just had it on sale for $129 for a week, but I missed the dates.] Buying it right from Nik is, I think, purposely inflated to not undercut their distributors.

can't justify paying $200 right now. Thanks

Leaning on Jesus
Sometimes when I put my head on my pillow at night and pray, I imagine I'm leaning on Jesus. Whenever I do this, I remember something God's Word tells us about the apostle John. John himself writes about how he was sitting beside Jesus at the Last Supper: "One of them, the disciple whom Jesus loved, was reclining next to him" (John 13:23).
John used the term "the disciple whom Jesus loved" as a way of referring to himself without mentioning his own name. He is also depicting a typical banquet setting in first-century Israel, where the table was much lower than those we use today, about knee height. Reclining without chairs on a mat or cushions was the natural position for those around the table. John was sitting so close to the Lord that when he turned to ask him a question, he was "leaning back against Jesus" (John 13:25), with his head on his chest.
John's closeness to Jesus in that moment provides a helpful illustration for our lives with Him today. We may not be able to touch Jesus physically, but we can entrust the weightiest circumstances of our lives to Him. He said, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28). How blessed we are to have a Savior whom we can trust to be faithful through every circumstance of our lives! Are you "leaning" on Him today?
