SAP citing Ericsson's favorite EPO caselaw to argue for business method patents
-> [ Hitachi decision | SAP | Patent News ]
9th February 2005 -- In letters to the EPO of November 2004, SAP's patent attorney cites those very doctrines to argue in favor of business method patentability, which, according to a letter sent to members of the European Parliament by Ericsson, guarantee that the EU Council's text "firmly rejects" business method patents.
The German business software giant SAP AG has been obtaining an increasing number of business method patents every year at the European Patent Office since 1998, when SAP started their patenting operations. SAP's patent department has been lobbying for the Council text, which, as SAP says, would secure their business method patent assets and allow them to go on with their patent operations. In the latest correspondence regarding patent applications from 2003, SAP cites the new caselaw from the EPO in favour of their patenting efforts. As a letter from Ericsson to MEPs states, this caselaw, the "Hitachi decision" of 2003, is equivalent to the EU Council's "political agreement" of May 2004.
With regard to business method patents, SAP is now using the EPO TBA decision T 258/03 to explain to EPO why their business methods should be patentable. On 2nd November 2004 they wrote letters with slightly modified claims attached mentioning T 258/03 (regarding two patent applications):
In a round-robin letter from Ericsson's vice president Ulf Pehrsson to members of the European Parliament, Ericsson's patent lawyers had called on !MEPs to trust the practise of the European Patent Office and the Council text which enshrines it, and they had pointed to the Hitachi decision as a model case which shows how the EPO rejects business method patents.
The Ericsson letter, dated 2005-01-28, says specifically:
- The current version of the Council text (the "Political Agreement" of 24 May 2004) has established greater clarity and legal certainty in defining the boundaries of patentability by adopting many helpful amendments introduced by the European Parliament (EP) at First Reading. Specifically, the "Political Agreement", states expressly that pure software, i.e. a computer program as such, cannot constitute a patentable invention (Art. 4a.1). It also reaffirms that computer programs (in source code, object code, or in any other form), which implement a business method or a mathematical method, are excluded from patentability (Art. 4a.2). It confirms the requirement for a technical contribution (Art. 4) - which must be in a field of technology (Art. 2b) - and spells out that a CII which does not make a technical contribution will not be patentable (Recital 12), and that merely implementing an otherwise unpatentable method on a computer does not constitute a technical contribution (Art. 4a.2 and Recital 13a) and remains unpatentable. The requirement for a technical contribution in the EU guarantees that we will not end up with the liberal approach to patenting along the lines of US practice. There is no requirement for an invention to be technical in the US and hence business and software patents have been allowed there. The restrictive approach in Europe has been evidenced in the Pension Benefits System case T0931/95 (2000), which was granted in the US but was firmly rejected by the EPO (European Patent Office). Other examples of cases refused by the EPO are Comvik T0641/00 (2002), Ricoh T0172/03 (2003) and Hitachi T0258/03 (2004). The Political Agreement therefore provides a very sound basis on which to continue to Second Reading.
Among the cited caselaw, Controlling Pension Benefits System of 2000 is the reference case on which the European Commission's directive proposal was built.
The recent EPO business method caselaw from "Pension Benefits 2000" to "Hitachi 2004" makes it clear that "computer-implemented business methods" are, according to the EPO, patentable inventions. Some of these business methods have however been rejected, because the applicant wasn't able to argue that the "inventions" were faster or more efficient than the solutions found in the prior art (i.e., in EPO jargon, "contain a technical contribution in the inventive step"). Especially applicants from US and Japan who go via WIPO often forget to include the needed EPO-compatible wordings in their applications.
This seems to have happened in the SAP case too, where the EPO at first refused an examination, because it was directed to an activity rather than to an apparatus performing this activity. Patent attorney Dr. Daniele Schiuma points out on behalf of SAP:
- In fact, according to the new case law of the Technical Board of Appeals T 258/03 "Auction Method / HITACHI" of 21 April 2004 the Board confirmed that a mix of technical and non-technical features may be regarded as an invention within the meaning for Art 52(1) EPC and that prior art should not be considered when deciding whether claimed subject-matter is such an invention, a compelling reason for not refusing under Article 52(2) EPC subject-matter consiting of technical and non-technical features is simply that the technical features may in themselves turn out to fulfill all requirements of Article 52(1) EPC. This reason is explicitely mentioned to be independent of the category of the claim.
- .. Hence, in the Board's view, activities falling within the notion of a non-invention "as such" would typically represent purely abstract concepts devoid of any technical implications. Since the subject matter presently on file has a technical character, in particular in view of the presence of technical means, and thus does not relate to purely abstract concepts devoid of any technical implications, a search needs to be carried out.

The Pet Goat
|"The Pet Goat"
|Siegfried Engelmann and Elaine C. Bruner
|United States
|Children's fiction
|Publication date
"The Pet Goat" (often erroneously called "My Pet Goat") is a reading exercise from the 1995 children's workbook Reading Mastery II: Storybook 1 by Siegfried Engelmann and Elaine C. Bruner.[1] It is designed to teach kids about words ending in the letter "E", using the Direct Instruction (DI) teaching method.[2] It gained attention on September 11, 2001; U.S. President George W. Bush was reading it at the Emma E. Booker School in Sarasota, Florida, when he was informed of the ongoing terror attacks.
"The Pet Goat" is the story of a girl's pet goat that eats everything in its path.[2] The girl's parents want to get rid of the goat, but she defends it.[2] A burglar enters the house and attempts to steal things, but the goat butts him - the parents gratefully decide to let the goat stay.[2] All smile but the burglar who is "sore" (ending in e).[2]
The book was written by Siegfried Engelmann and Elaine C. Bruner and is part of the 31-volume Reading Mastery series published by the SRA Macmillan early-childhood education division of McGraw-Hill. It uses the Direct Instruction (DI) teaching method, which was originally developed by Engelmann and Wesley C. Becker.[1]
George W. Bush during the September 11 attacks[edit]
On the morning of September 11, 2001, around 9:10, in front of a sign stating "Reading Makes a Country Great", George W. Bush was reading The Pet Goat while also listening to it being recited by a group of schoolchildren at Emma E. Booker Elementary School in Sarasota County, Florida, just after White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card informed him that a second airplane had just hit the World Trade Center. Bush remained seated for roughly seven minutes and followed along as the children read the book. After spending about 20 minutes total with the children, Bush was scheduled to give a short press conference at about 9:30 a.m. At the conference inside the school, Bush made his first speech about the attacks and was later taken to a secure location by the Secret Service aboard Air Force One before returning to the White House later that evening.[3]
Bush's critics—notably Michael Moore in his film Fahrenheit 9/11, in which Moore erroneously called the book My Pet Goat— argued that the fact that Bush continued reading the book after being notified that the attack was ongoing shows that he was indecisive.[1] However, Bush's defenders – and some of his critics – made the case that he felt keeping the children calm was his most important duty at that time. A 9/11 Commission Staff Report entitled Improvising a Homeland Defense, without citing a source for the claim, read: "The President felt he should project strength and calm until he could better understand what was happening."[4] According to Bill Sammon in Fighting Back: The War on Terrorism from Inside the White House, Bush's Press Secretary Ari Fleischer, at some point, was in the back of the classroom holding a pad on which he had written "Don't say anything yet."[5] Sammon contended that, although Bush was not wearing his glasses, he was able to read this message, decided to let Fleischer determine his course of action and that not bewildering the children was his priority, and it went unnoticed by the media. Sammon further stated:
Bush wondered whether he should excuse himself and retreat to the holding room, where he might be able to find out what the hell was going on. But what kind of message would that send—the president abruptly getting up and walking out on a bunch of inner-city second-graders at their moment in the national limelight?[5]
In the years following the incident, faculty and students of the school have come to offer their foreign policy opinions regarding Bush's decisions. Principal Gwendolyn Tose-Rigell defended Bush, stating: "I don't think anyone could have handled it better. What would it have served if [Bush] had jumped out of his chair and ran out of the room?" Shortly after bin Laden's death, former students Lazaro Dubrocq and Mariah Williams had been asked about the incident by Time, crediting Bush with keeping the classroom calm by finishing the story. Williams has said:
I don't remember the story we were reading — was it about pigs? But I'll always remember watching his face turn red. He got really serious all of a sudden. But I was clueless. I was just seven. I'm just glad he didn't get up and leave because then I would have been more scared and confused.
Chantal Guerrero, one of the students in the classroom, agreed, and was grateful that Bush regained his composure and stayed with the students until The Pet Goat was finished. Guerrero said: "I think the President was trying to keep us from finding out, so we all wouldn't freak out."[6]

Understanding the Impact
Being a teenager is hard enough – coping with school, family, friends and the challenges of adolescence. Now, imagine that due to the start of a mental illness, you are not in control of what you are thinking and feeling.
While the causes of severe mental illness in youth are still not perfectly understood, the impact on individuals, families and communities is increasingly clear.
- Young people living with mental illness face substance abuse, incarceration, isolation, and a continuing need for care.
- 75% of youth with schizophrenia develop a disability and few are gainfully employed.
- 12-15% of those who experience psychosis commit suicide.
- It costs $20,000 – $24,000 for each hospitalization.
By focusing on the phase prior to onset, you can mitigate the worst effects of mental illness.
A growing number of communities are stopping the progression of mental illness through the PIER Model of early detection and treatment, which focuses on early onset symptoms at a critical point in development of the brain.

Sims' Lord to bless Christian gamersMonday, March 2nd, 2009
Tucson, Arizona based video game company Wisdom Tree is set to release "Sims' Lord," a bible themed video game in the vein of the popular Sims and Spore series. "Jesus is back and in a big way" says C.E.O. Christian Smith. "Most simulation games leave out the most important character: The Big Guy, the Head Cheese, the Head Honcho, you know, God."
Sims' Lord allows gamers to play the role of Jesus Christ and influence the progress of history in order to subtly manipulate video game designers. "It's important that people see that God is pulling the strings," says Smith. "Every one of those sim-ulation games is the result of God's plan–that's what this game teaches you."
In related news Maxis, the creators of The Sims and others, is suing over copyright infringement.

Discussion in 'Battery Discussion' started by TEG, Oct 29, 2007.
Firefly strikes me as one of the few battery companies to actually watch. They've (relatively) quietly made improvements in the current lead acid batteries, and are now rolling out an impressive drop-in replacement for the trucking industry.
Rosemont is in my neighborhood. If anyone from Tesla wants to hire me and get me a pass to the conference, I'll stop by the booth and pick up some literature. (Insert appropriate smiley here).
I've been a follower of Firefly as well.
Love the story. Ask a guy who has no idea about something to solve a problem. Since he has no idea he can't do it he accomplishes a breakthrough.
I'm also impressed how quick to market they are coming.

A Visit to Ongpin (Chinatown)
1.04.2014| Posted by Unknown | 0 comments
It's been some years since I found myself traipsing along the streets of Chinatown. Nevertheless, it is one of my favorite places, partly perhaps, due to the fact that I am half-Chinese. There is just always so much to see. The place is rich with the Chinese culture, and a lot about it reminds me of Hong Kong (which I find myself missing dearly from time to time). Perhaps this is where the major difference between the Chinese and the Filipinos lie. The Filipinos adapt to whatever culture they are in, the Chinese bring a bit of their own for everyone to experience. They say that in every country (and perhaps major city) in the world, there is a Chinatown.

He said that British wartime spirit could be crucial in securing such a deal and added that world leaders must show the courage of Sir Winston Churchill to deal with the current crisis.
In a speech to business leaders, the Prime Minister warned that the coming days would be a "crucial time" for the world economy.
The Bretton Woods agreement - named after the American hotel where it was agreed - was a historic deal signed in 1944 to shore up the global economy after the Second World War. Under the deal, exchange rates were fixed for almost thirty years and the value of the dollar was linked to gold, ensuring its status as a global currency.
This brought the global economy under control and stopped reckless economic activity. The agreement also established the International Monetary Fund (IMF), World Bank and other international bodies.
The Prime Minister said that we "must have a new Bretton Woods - building a new international financial architecture for the years ahead".
"During the second world war, far sighted leaders like Roosevelt and Churchill were already thinking about the framework that would be needed for the future," he said. "Whilst in the heat of the battle - taking steps to forge the reconstruction and peace that was to come.
"With the same courage and foresight of [these] founders, we must now reform the international financial system around the agreed principles of transparency, integrity, responsibility, good housekeeping and co-operation across borders."
Mr Brown is travelling to Brussels on Wednesday to hold further talks with European leaders about a co-ordinated global response. He is also involved in discussions about holding an emergency meeting of world leaders to discuss the new Bretton Woods proposal.
He said: "The coming days will be a crucial time for the future of the international financial community and the world economy, and that, in turn, makes it a crucial time for British families and British businesses. The stakes are higher than ever before.
"The resolve of leaders and nations across the world will be put to the test over the coming days."
It is understood that the Prime Minister wishes to see the IMF reformed to become a "global central bank" closely monitoring the international economy and financial system. There may also be global rules to prevent conflicts of interest and to boost transparency in the financial system.
Mr Brown's comments are the strongest public sign yet that he is approaching the financial crisis as if it were a military conflict. He has also established a "war cabinet" of ministers to co-ordinate this country's policies.
"The character of our communities is being tested," he said. "The British people have always risen to the challenge of a crisis and we must do so again. To pull together as a community - and show that spirit, resilience and determination which has defined Britain as a nation for generations."
The Prime Minister has won international plaudits for his approach. Paul Krugman, an American economist who was today awarded the Nobel Prize for Economics, said: "Mr. Brown and Alistair Darling, the chancellor of the Exchequer, have defined the character of the worldwide rescue effort, with other wealthy nations playing catch-up.
"This is an unexpected turn of events. The British government is, after all, very much a junior partner when it comes to world economic affairs.
"But the Brown government has shown itself willing to think clearly about the financial crisis, and act quickly on its conclusions. And this combination of clarity and decisiveness hasn't been matched by any other Western government."
However, the Conservatives have accused Mr Brown of being triumphalist over the financial crisis. Shadow chancellor George Osborne said today's package was ``no triumph'' and accused the Prime Minister of ``presiding over the biggest economic disaster of our lifetime''.

Carrot top pesto w/ roasted garlic
Carrot top pesto is in these days — even the New York Times is on top of it. Every time I buy carrots at the farmer's market, I mean to bite the bullet and take that enormous bunch of greens home. Yesterday was the big day. Although I love cannellini, they are here mostly to thicken sauce and add some protein — the flavor is all about pesto. And nice knobby carrots.

(5 out of 5 stars)
"I had not heard of Richard Stoltzman (Clarinet) but this is a generous (66+ minutes)and wonderful CD. The musicians such as guitarist Gene Bertoncini and the English Chamber Orchestra are
excellent. "Sleepless in Seattle" is an upbeat tune and "Out of Africa" is simply beautiful. An excellent variety and treatment of these movie themes. Highly recommended. P.S. - The above
album title shows artist as "Eddie Gomez" - he does play on the album but Mr. Stoltzman is the "headliner.""

2015 Asia-Pacific Gold Winner - GE Indonesia
Company: GE Indonesia, Jakarta, Indonesia
Category: Executive of the Year – Conglomerates
Entry Title: Handry Satriago, CEO
Handry Satriago became the first CEO of GE Indonesia that graduated from an Indonesian university, and he is the youngest CEO in the history of GE Global. Handry has been with GE since 1997.
GE Indonesia is determined to bring more progress in the next few years. Indonesia - with its steady growing macroeconomy and its serious need for infrastructure development - is an important market for General Electric. The company is engaged in various sectors of Indonesia, including transportation, energy, aviation, oil & gas and health.
Human Capital
Handry has spoken often about the need to develop local talent and prevent Indonesian workers working abroad . He cites a lack of adequate training as well as lack of confidence in the Indonesian economy. "Where is the most important task of a leader is to develop new leaders are tough," he said.
Investing in Indonesia
In 2013 GE announced a plan to invest $300m in the next five years to support the country's infrastructure development. Handry said Indonesia would be a key market for the company. The multinational conglomerate plans to get involved in energy, aviation, mining, health, transportation, and oil and gas in the country.
To date, the company has invested more than $1bn in Indonesia:
The expansion of Batam subsea manufacturing facility.
• "With this expansion, Indonesia could become the first country in Asia Pacific to have a production facility for subsea production trees. Handry said. in November 2013 GE Indonesia opened its newly expanded Batam Island subsea manufacturing facility.
The GE Learning and Technology Center establishment,
• The facility is expected to train 200 employees of state-owned oil and gas company Pertamina and also of state utility Perusahaan Listrik Negara. The learning center will link GE with its corporate customers, Handry said, adding that the trainers would come from among scholars, GE international and local staff members.
Creation of a service maintenance training center for the CFM 56-7B aircraft engine, in partnership with national flag carrier Garuda Indonesia,
Cooperation with the railway operator Kereta Api Indonesia (KAI) to modernize its locomotives.
Entering the mining sector by producing equipment and tools. At the moment, we are promoting anti-collision systems," Handry said.
Expanding its GE Lighting plant in Sleman, Yogyakarta. This would boost GE Lighting's production capacity for halogen bulbs for the export market to around 35 million units per year.
Going Forward
In March 2015, Vice President Jusuf Kalla asked the private sector to participate in the construction of the power plant 35 thousand megawatts in the next five years to meet the electricity needs of the growing community. GE Indonesia may help build the power plant in cooperation with other companies. . "We will contribute significantly, as much as we could do," he said.
To pursue business growth worth US $ 5 billion in the next two years, the General Electric Indonesia is implementing strategies such as employee growth of 10% this year.
GE Indonesia's home grown leader, Handry Satriago is optimistic the company will be able to reap revenues to over $ 1 billion this year. With his dedicated leadership, the goals will be achieved.

Sellers are now awaking and ready to list their homes, BUT the de-cluttering process has them overwhelmed. We can assist with de-cluttering and staging the home. We do both at the same time while we might use the owners beautiful existing items. The not so beautiful pieces we help the owners send to their children, donate or sell. As we all know sellers bark to hire a professional to de-clutter and pay for home staging because many home owners have lived in their homes for a while and don't see it "as buyers see it" because it's their home and they see it as pretty. It is too emotional. Most sellers can't picture their home as "neutral". And the second reason sellers may bark about de-cluttering and staging their home is cost to have an outsider come in and "just do it". They don't have a clue where to begin nor the time, energy and resources.
Part One on Staging Tips:
- Curb appeal. For those who live in the wintery regions, flowers are not blooming yet. Have potted silk yellow or red flowers in pots outside by the front door. It adds color and welcome appeal. Also add a welcome mat by the front. Great for those to clean off their shoes before entering into a clean home. What color is the front door? Could it use a new coat of paint or a different color of paint?
- Have slip on booties (get at local hardware store in paint department) in a basket for covering the shoes inside by the front door so tour groups don't track in mud, rain and dirt from the outside. Or have a nice floor mat so everyone can take off their shoes during the home tour.
- First impressions when opening the front door. Smells – does the house have cooking, or cigarette smoke, or pet odors? Are all the lights on and all blinds and drapes open for natural light? Does the home feel hot or drafty cold when walking in? What is the first room prospects see? Hallway, living room, windows outside to back yard? That angle of sight must be open and free and clear of heavy furnishings or furniture. Are the windows clean prospects can even see through them?
- If there is a lot of carpeting in the home, have it freshly cleaned.
- Pictures of family must all be taken down.
- Any signs or objects of religion or politics must be taken down. It is not the business of the public to judge the home for your beliefs . That's making the house neutral.
- Less pictures on the wall the better.
- If the home is too beige or brown, add color through throw pillows on sofas and chairs, some art work on the wall, and maybe a few area rugs, if it doesn't present a safety issue.
- Bathrooms – If there is a window in the shower area and a shower curtain move the shower curtain aside to allow natural light into the room.
- Remove toilet paper from the bathrooms if no one lives in the home. Having toilet paper invites tour guests to use the bathroom.
Part Two – Cabinets, drawers, closets, garages, basements, yard, patio.
Part Three: If the home is very dated with wall paper and furnishing. Showing homes totally empty or some pieces of furniture. Pros and cons.

About Gary Vaynerchuk:
Already considered a quintessential maven of modern-day marketing, Gary Vaynerchuk is a New York Times and Wall Street Journal best-selling author as well as a self-trained wine and social media expert. In high school, while working at his family owned liquor store, Gary started reading The Wine Spectator among other wine books and realized collecting wine offered an allure similar to his previous hobby of collecting baseball cards. With a newfound wealth of knowledge, an entrepreneurial spirit, and a clear recognition of the emergence of e-commerce in 1997, Gary launched Winelibrary.com and helped grow his family business from $3 million to $45 million by 2005. Although Gary does not consider himself to be a 'techie', in 2005, he began video blogging and established himself as a true social media trailblazer. Gaining nearly 1 million Twitter followers, Gary was included in BusinessWeek's list of the "top 20 people every entrepreneur should follow."
In 2006, with a flipcam and a NY Jets bucket, Gary began Wine Library TV which further revolutionized the wine world. His wine reviews soon attracted over 100,000 viewers each day and his die-hard fans nicknamed themselves "Vayniacs." Gary's cult-like following was the result of his unconventional, often irreverent commentary on wine. Using comical expressions like "Sniffy Sniff" and "The Oakmonster", he encourages straightforward wine tasting and debunks wine myths. A business visionary, Gary also started CinderellaWine.com, a flash sale website which features one wine per day for 24 hours sold at a severely discounted price. He also started a monthly newsletter that gives readers access to the hundreds of wines he tastes and reviews each month off camera.
Gary's first business book Crush It! Why Now Is the Time to Cash in on Your Passion (October 2009) hit the New York Times, Wall Street Journal and Associated Press Best-Sellers lists in its first weeks. It maps out Gary's road rules for how to "Crush It" in today's business market by following your passion and building your own personal brand. His second New York Times bestseller The Thank You Economy (March 2011), details the effect of social media on business and has become required reading for business leaders around the world. Gary's next book Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook will be released November 2013.
In the spring of 2009, Gary and his brother AJ launched VaynerMedia, a new breed of agency that helps Fortune 500 companies like General Electric and PepsiCo find their social media voices and build their digital brands.
Gary has appeared on countless programs from Jimmy Fallon, Late Night with Conan O'Brien and Ellen to MSNBC, CNBC, CNN and NPR. He was also notably featured in Decanter Magazine's 2009 Power List which lists the 50 most influential people in wine. In 2009, Gary was named Innovator of the Year at Wine Enthusiast's Wine Star Awards as well as one of Askmen.com's 49 Most Influential Men of 2009.
Gary's ultimate goal is to own the New York Jets. Although his various businesses obviously play an enormous role in his life, he always puts his family first.

1. Context
1978: 'The year of three Popes'
Redemptor Hominis (Redeemer of Man), promulgated on the 4th March, 1979, was the first encyclical of John Paul II. The Polish Cardinal Karol Wojtyla had been elected Pope John Paul II in October 1978, after the very brief pontificate of John Paul I (August-September 1978; Paul VI had been Pope from 1963-1978. John Paul II was the first non-Italian Pope since the early sixteenth century). Like John Paul I, John Paul II chose a name which combined the names of the two Popes of the Second Vatican Council (1962-65), John XXIII and Paul VI, in order to emphasize that he was committed to the legacy of the Council, in which he had been an active participant.
Commitment to Vatican II
This commitment is very clear in Redemptor Hominis, in which John Paul II emphasizes the great achievement of Gaudium et Spes, the Council's Pastoral Constitution on the Church in the Modern World. At the Council, he had also been an important supporter of Dignitatis Humanae, the Declaration on Religious Freedom, arguing that the Church could not insist on its own freedom from Communist oppression unless it extended full religious freedom to non-Catholics in traditionally Catholic countries such as Spain and Portugal.
The 'cold war' context
Karol Wojtyla was born in 1920, had found his vocation to the priesthood during the Nazi occupation of Poland and been consecrated bishop during the post-war Stalinist dictatorship. He had been a professor of philosophy at the Catholic University of Lublin and was Cardinal Archbishop of Krakow at the time of his election as Pope. When Redemptor Hominis was issued, global politics were still bound up with the 'Cold War', the tension between the Soviet Union and its satellite states and the United States of America and its allies. The Communist government of North Vietnam had conquered South Vietnam in 1975. Some parts of Portugal's former African empire had become Soviet-aligned. There was to be a Soviet invasion of Afghanistan at the end of 1979. Although the end of the 'Cold War' was little more than a decade away, geopolitical tensions were high at the time when Redemptor Hominis was issued.
The call for human rights
The call for human rights was also gaining in strength at this time. The US President Jimmy Carter (in office 1976-80), a devout Baptist, sought to make respect for human rights an important criterion in the foreign policy of the United States. This resulted in tensions between the Carter administration and military dictatorships in Latin America, which had formerly enjoyed more American support. Liberation theology had been gaining influence in Latin America throughout the 1970s, and John Paul's relationship to liberation theology was to be an important aspect of his pontificate in the 1980s.
First visit to Poland – the 'Solidarity' movement
A few months after issuing Redemptor Hominis, John Paul II made his first pontifical visit to Poland. Attracting huge crowds, he reminded his fellow Poles of the Christian roots of their culture, and affirmed them in their struggle for human rights. In the next year, 1980, the Solidarity movement began to challenge the dictatorship of the Communist Party, and John Paul II was to give it crucial advice and support in the following years of struggle until the end of Communism in Poland in 1989.
2. Executive Summary
Christ the centre of history
The central theme of Redemptor Hominis is the centrality of Jesus Christ in human history and as the answer to the human search for meaning and identity. Vatican II's Gaudium et Spes was a reflection on the situation of humanity in the mid-twentieth century that constantly returned to Christ as the true meaning of humanity, the one who reveals us to ourselves. Redemptor Hominis takes up this theme and develops it as the charter of John Paul II's pontificate.
The argument with Marxism-Leninism and other 'materialisms'
The encyclical was deeply influenced by the imposition of Marxist atheism on Poland. In a very important sense, it was a Christian answer to Marxism-Leninism, which had sought to weaken and eventually abolish the Catholic Church. Yet the encyclical does not see Marxism-Leninism as the only enemy of authentic humanity: it is critical of any form of power or set of attitudes that degrades the human person, including other forms of materialism, such as consumer capitalism.
Marx's theory of religious and economic alienation
As a professor of philosophy and church leader in the post-war period, Karol Wojtyla had had to resist Communist ideology and Communist power in many different contexts. At the same time, he was eager to debate with Marxist thinkers and to engage with the foundations of Marxist thought. For Marx, 'the root of man is man himself'(Critique of Hegel's Philosophy of Right, 1844): in this atheistic world-view, there is no purpose to human existence other than what human beings can shape for themselves through work and historical struggle. Marx had argued that human beings lose their humanity in a multi-dimensional process he called 'alienation'.
In religious alienation (and here Marx drew heavily on the philosopher Ludwig Feuerbach), humanity seeks hope and meaning in the false consolation of heaven: rather than realizing that only struggle in this world can liberate us from oppression, human beings become resigned to injustice by transferring or 'alienating' all their hopes to the next world. (It is fair to note that the early nineteenth-century Christian response to industrialization gave Marx some evidence for this judgement.) In economic alienation, human beings become enslaved to their own products. Their work and ingenuity is transformed into 'capital', the accumulation of wealth, and this capital in turns rules them, making work into drudgery and bondage, rather than the spontaneous expression of the human capacity to transform nature.
John Paul II's response to Karl Marx
Karol Wojtyla accepted some of Marx's insights concerning economic alienation. He was critical of any economic system that deprived work of its human character, that made the products of work more important than the human person, the subject of work. At the same time, he rejected the utopian illusions of Marxism, the belief that the abolition of private ownership of the means of production would usher in a classless society of spontaneous work. In its Stalinist form, it had in fact become a totalitarian dictatorship. John Paul II's reflections on the meaning of work as a dimension of our humanity were to be developed in his third encyclical Laborem Exercens (On Human Labour) (1981).
A foundation of Redemptor Hominis is the rejection of the Marxist idea of religious alienation. Whereas Marx had argued that 'Communism is the solution to the riddle of history, and knows itself to be the solution' (Communist Manifesto, 1848), Redemptor Hominis is inspired by the faith that Jesus Christ is at the centre of human history, and that faith in Jesus Christ is not alienating, but rather the true source of fulfilled and joyful human existence.
3. Key Points of the Document
Christ, the revealer of the mystery of humanity
Redemptor Hominis (RH) is a proclamation of Christ's central role in human history as the redeemer of humanity. It affirms the highest values of modern humanism - religious freedom and social justice - and seeks to relate Christian proclamation to the universal human search for meaning – to the transcendent dimension of the human person. Its central message is that Christ is the answer to this search.
It affirms a key passage of Gaudium et Spes: 'The truth is that only in the mystery of the Incarnate Word does the mystery of man take on light' (GS 22; RH 8). Drawing on this teaching of Vatican II, Redemptor Hominis proclaims Jesus Christ as the revelation of the meaning of our humanity, the divine manifest in the human. Our redemption takes place within human history, since Christ is present in that history and shares our human condition in all things but sin.
The Gospel of human dignity – humanity is the 'way of the Church'
The revelation of the mystery of our humanity in Christ is a revelation of our preciousness, our extraordinary dignity. For Redemptor Hominis, this is the Gospel, the Good News, of Christianity. Christianity is therefore the ultimate basis of a true humanism, of an attitude of respect and care for every human being.
Since the Word of God is made flesh in our history, then the Church that proclaims Christ must be concerned above all with humanity – humanity is 'the primary and fundamental way for the Church' (RH 14), both in terms of the great issues of contemporary history and of the precious uniqueness of every human being. Redemptor Hominis constantly affirms the Church's readiness to stand with human beings in their history, their particular social context, and aid and guide them in the search for that true humanity that has its source and fulfillment in Christ.
Reading the 'signs of the times'
Redemptor Hominis follows the methodology of Gaudium et Spes by considering the significance of the 'signs of the times' (GS 4), that is, reflecting on key developments in contemporary history in the light of the Gospel. Here Redemptor Hominis focuses especially on our technological power and the movement for human rights. One of the 'signs of the times' for Gaudium et Spes was the inescapable ambivalence of human intelligence and creativity. Technological power can lead to human progress but also to nuclear war and environmental destruction. It can also widen rather than close the gap between the rich and poor. Because of this, there must be 'a priority of ethics over technology' (RH 16), so that our technological creativity is put to the service of human solidarity.
In relation to human rights, the encyclical praises the 'magnificent effort made to give life to the United Nations organization' (RH 17) and emphasizes how closely the struggle for human rights is linked with the Church's own mission. At the same time, the document soberly reviews the abuses of human rights in the contemporary world and names the hypocrisy of many governments in this regard.
Prayer and hope
Life in Christ is life led in hope for the resurrection, but this hope is not one that leads the Church to ignore or neglect our human situation in this world. Even in its hope for eternal life, the Church remains profoundly concerned with everything that affects human beings and their dignity in this life. It prays to the Holy Spirit from the midst of our history, because it is through prayer that we can overcome all forms of materialism and be open to the divine sources of our humanity.
4. Key Quotations from the Document
At the close of the second millennium…
THE REDEEMER OF MAN, Jesus Christ, is the centre of the universe and of history. To him go my thoughts and my heart in this solemn moment of the world that the Church and the whole family of present-day humanity are now living. (RH 1)
Christ, the revealer of the mystery of our humanity
In its penetrating analysis of "the modern world", the Second Vatican Council reached that most important point of the visible world that is man, by penetrating like Christ the depth of human consciousness and by making contact with the inward mystery of man, which in Biblical and non-Biblical language is expressed by the word "heart".
Christ, the Redeemer of the world, is the one who penetrated in a unique unrepeatable way into the mystery of man and entered his "heart". Rightly therefore does the Second Vatican Council teach: "The truth is that only in the mystery of the Incarnate Word does the mystery of man take on light. For Adam, the first man, was a type of him who was to come (Rom 5:14), Christ the Lord.
Christ the new Adam, in the very revelation of the mystery of the Father and of his love, fully reveals man to himself and brings to light his most high calling". (RH 8, quoting Gaudium et Spes 22)
Christ – divine love in a human heart
The redemption of the world - this tremendous mystery of love in which creation is renewed - is, at its deepest root, the fullness of justice in a human Heart - the Heart of the First-born Son - in order that it may become justice in the hearts of many human beings, predestined from eternity in the Firstborn Son to be children of God and called to grace, called to love. (RH 9)
The Gospel of human dignity
How precious must man be in the eyes of the Creator, if he "gained so great a Redeemer", and if God "gave his only Son" in order that man "should not perish but have eternal life". In reality, the name for that deep amazement at man's worth and dignity is the Gospel, that is to say: the Good News. It is also called Christianity.
This amazement determines the Church's mission in the world and, perhaps even more so, "in the modern world". This amazement, which is also a conviction and a certitude - at its deepest root it is the certainty of faith, but in a hidden and mysterious way it vivifies every aspect of authentic humanism - is closely connected with Christ. It also fixes Christ's place -so to speak, his particular right of citizenship- in the history of man and mankind. (RH 10)
Human transcendence: the restless search for God
The Fathers of the Church rightly saw in the various religions as it were so many reflections of the one truth, "seeds of the Word", attesting that, though the routes taken may be different, there is but a single goal to which is directed the deepest aspiration of the human spirit as expressed in its quest for God and also in its quest, through its tending towards God, for the full dimension of its humanity, or in other words for the full meaning of human life. (RH 11)
Humanity is the 'way of the Church'
Man is the way for the Church -a way that, in a sense, is the basis of all the other ways that the Church must walk- because man - every man without any exception whatever -has been redeemed by Christ, and because with man - with each man without any exception whatever - Christ is in a way united, even when man is unaware of it: "Christ, who died and was raised up for all, provides man"-each man and every man- "with the light and the strength to measure up to his supreme calling". (RH 14)
5. Reception
Since Redemptor Hominis was John Paul II's inaugural encyclical and in fact a charter for his pontificate, the reception of Redemptor Hominis is essentially a matter of the reception of the key emphases and concerns of his pontificate as a whole.
A Christological conception of human dignity
In theological terms, Redemptor Hominis put the bond between Christology and anthropology at the centre of the pontificate. The conviction that the mystery of the human person is revealed in Jesus Christ the redeemer became the foundation for John Paul's extraordinary dedication to the cause of humanity in a global context.
As noted above, this was based in Vatican II's Gaudium et Spes and had also been a key concern of Paul VI, notably in the document Evangelii Nuntiandi (Proclaimers of the Gospel) (1975).
Prior to Vatican II, the moral teaching of the Church, including its teaching about human dignity, had been expressed more in terms of the 'natural law', the perspective ultimately derived from classical philosophy which understood human dignity to be based in reason and freedom and to be evident to all people of 'right reason'.
The last great expression of this approach in a Papal document was John XXIII's Pacem in Terris of 1963. (This is not to deny that more contemporary interpretations of 'natural law' are still important and influential, nor that John Paul himself strongly endorsed them, especially in his encyclical Veritatis Splendor.)
The intense commitment of John Paul II to this Christological understanding of human dignity, together with the length of his pontificate, has entrenched this perspective in official Church documents and in the life of the Church. It can be said to be part of the 'texture' of contemporary Catholicism.
The Church and human rights
Further, Redemptor Hominis and all it foreshadowed in John Paul's pontificate set the seal on the Church's support for human rights and democracy around the world. Redemptor Hominis constantly affirms that the 'human person is the way of the Church' within the particular contexts of human history and historical struggle. During John Paul's pontificate, there could be no doubt that the rights of human beings – their economic, political and social situation – were of great concern to the Church.
The Church was clearly no longer simply 'otherworldly', if it had ever been – it was concerned with the fate of human beings in this world as it hoped for the fullness of the Kingdom in the next.
Controversies concerning the meaning of 'the human'
Inevitably, the concern for humanity and for each human person expressed in Redemptor Hominis had to receive specific expression in terms of a variety of Papal stances on different moral and political questions. Within a global Church, involved at every level with varying understandings of human nature, purpose and fulfillment in different cultures and social groups, there could not fail to be much controversy about 'the human'.
In the socio-political context, a key area of controversy was the tension between the Vatican and Latin American liberation theology during the 1980s. Deeply influenced by his own experience of Marxism-Leninism, John Paul was strongly critical of economic injustice and military dictatorships in Latin America but also of aspects of liberation theology which, he argued, borrowed concepts and approaches from Marxism that were incompatible with Christian faith.
Liberation theologians tended to argue, in response, that the concepts they borrowed were useful tools of analysis that could be effectively detached from Marx's atheism and determinism. John Paul's condemnation of capital punishment and of virtually all Western military campaigns, from the 1990-1991 Gulf War onwards, was also highly controversial in many Western circles, as were his criticisms of consumer capitalism.
In terms of personal life, in Western countries in particular, the debate about 'the human' focused more on sexual ethics and gender issues. While John Paul expressed a very strong consensus in the Church in his stance against euthanasia and abortion, there was much more controversy over his firm reaffirmation of the intrinsic immorality of contraception and prohibition of debate over the question of the ordination of women in the Catholic Church.
6. Discussion Questions
- When reflecting on the worth of the human person, when/why do you ground it in:
- Human reason and freedom
- Our creation in 'the image of God'
- Our union with Christ, the 'Redemptor Hominis'?
- To what extent are your answers to question 1 dependent on the different situations you are in/audience you may have?
- Read Part II of Redemptor Hominis 'The Mystery of the Redemption' (sections 7-12). How does John Paul express the meaning of the union of divine and human in Christ?
- To what extent do you encounter the belief that religion 'alienates' us from the full potential of being human? Why do you think this belief has developed? How might it be answered in the light of Redemptor Hominis?
- The human person is the way of the Church'. In what ways do you see the Catholic Church being engaged on behalf of humanity in our society? Where is there some room for improvement?
- The Iranian Islamic revolution, led by the Ayatollah Khomeini, was developing in 1979 at the same time as the promulgation of Redemptor Hominis. To what extent did that revolution foreshadow a world situation different from the 'cold war'? Is this relevant to interpreting the message of Redemptor Hominis for today?
- Redemptor Hominis called for 'a priority of ethics over technology'. In what areas of our lives is this a useful moral criterion? What would it mean specifically for one particular area of social or economic life?

Happy New Year! And sincere apologies if you, too, are in the process of readjusting to the throes of Real Life.
Having 10 days of vacation during the Christmas holidays is a blessing and a curse. What we actually need is 10 days off beforehand to prepare all the things (Sorry Gram, I haven't mailed your gift yet but I still love you.), and then 10 days off afterward to recover.
If you're like me, you run yourself ragged before and during Christmas (Sure, let's make lunch for 15 people on Boxing Day.), and then spend the remaining holiday sitting in your pajamas eating Lindt chocolates and watching Downton Abbey.
Until the return to Real Life, where all of a sudden it snows two feet, and shifts from a balmy, non-winter 16 degrees on Christmas Eve, to a painful, colder-than-a-witch's-titty minus 30 degrees the Monday I return to work.
This is all miserable for most people, I'd venture. For me, add a toddler who needs to wear nine layers of wool and can't zip up her own snowsuit because her giant mittens turn her arms into little, useless, puffy snowman sticks floating off the side of her body. Plus: A tiny human growing increasingly cumbersome in my abdomen, making it near impossible to bend, sit, stand, breathe, or otherwise function.
It's all a bit much.
Then today happened. Still minus 30 degrees, still a floating arm toddler, still a breathless mess, and – wait for it – stuck in a snowbank.
Driving away from daycare, I misjudged (read: didn't look at) the width of the poorly-ploughed residential street and drove into a pile of snow/ice boulders and couldn't move an inch. I don't know if you've ever floored your car in reverse, but if you're stuck, nothing happens except a big cloud of exhaust.
The whole situation left me hunched over the front wheel, seven months pregnant, sad and tiny yellow shovel in hand, ridiculous pashmina scarf in my face, hacking away at the bottom of my already demolished bumper. At minus 30. With the gas light on - because of course it was.
Fifteen minutes and several cursey rants later, I managed to rock my car free and make it to a gas station in time to pump 17 dollars' worth of over-priced gas at a freezing, windy gas station.
I'll take my year on maternity leave with no sleep and a screaming baby now, thanks.

SPCC Plan and Facility Response Plan Development
Nova personnel have extensive experience in the development and implementation of Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plans and Facility Response Plans (FRP).
SPCC Plans are required for many facilities across the country which exceed the threshold volume for aboveground or underground oil storage and FRPs are required for larger oil storage facilities that have the potential to create substantial harm to the environment. Nova personnel provide extensive experience and insight, gained through years of regulatory interaction and plan development, into the requirements, implementation and management of these plans. Nova ensures that the plans are compliant with the regulatory requirements, accurate and applicable to the facility and that the required training, inspections and drills both fulfill the regulations and also provides value to our clients. Nova also assists our clients with the development of practices to ensure the plans are updated in accordance with ongoing facility changes and regulatory requirements.
Nova also develops SPCC and FRPs to ensure compliance with other overlapping regulations, such as state emergency preparedness and spill response regulations and U.S. Coast Guard regulations. This provides a plan that fulfills all applicable requirements, reduces redundancy and decreases the number of plans that need to be maintained. Nova personnel have developed these plans in the "stand alone" format and also in the Integrated Contingency Plan (ICP) or "One Plan" format.
In addition, these plans can be hosted through a web based format and therefore easily updated and also accessible by multiple parties from multiple locations. Based on the unique needs of each client, Nova can help determine the proper format.

Jeremy Bleich | LHP
Born and raised in the New Orleans suburb of Metairie, Bleich is the son of Stan the Cardiologist, a die-hard Yankees' fan from Brooklyn. Jeremy attended the prestigious Isidore Newman High School, which also produced The Mannings and Moneyball author Michael Lewis. During his final three years with the Greenies, Bleich went 23-7 with 348 strikeouts and a sub-2.00 ERA in 206.2 IP while also hitting north of .360. He helped the school to the 2003 state championship and 2005 district championship as a sophomore and senior, respectively.
Bleich was named to the All-District, All-Metro and All-Orleans teams every year from 2003-2005, and was selected as the 2005 All-Metro Player of the Year. As a senior, Baseball America named him a third team All-American, while Collegiate Baseball named him to the first team. Bleich also earned All-State and District MVP honors as a junior and senior. Rated the 97th best prospect for the 2005 draft, Bleich ultimately went undrafted because he wanted first round money to pass on his commitment to Stanford, which is historically a tough school to pry draftees from.
Bleich started his collegiate career working out of Stanford's bullpen, posting seven saves in nine chances before moving into the rotation near the end of the season. He finished the year with a team high 24 appearances, sporting a 4.05 ERA in 60 IP (his ERA ballooned nearly half-a-run in his final start of the season). He headed to the Cape Cod League that summer and went 1-1 with a 2.09 ERA in 43 IP (10 appearances, 6 starts) for the Wareham Gatemen. Bleich was named to the Western Division All-Star Team and started the Championship Game, taking the loss after allowing three runs (only one earned) in six innings (Side note: David Robertson closed out that game with three perfect innings of relief, striking out Bradley Suttle for the final out). Baseball America named him the 19th best prospect in the circuit (sub. req'd) despite only being a freshman.
Inconsistent as a sophomore, Bleich spent most of the season as Stanford's Friday starter despite going 2-8 with a 5.56 ERA. He alternated brilliant outings with horrific ones before finishing strong in his final three starts, posting a 3.91 ERA while pitching into the 8th inning each game. Bleich returned to Wareham and the Cape after his sophomore year, going 4-2 with a 2.44 ERA in 44.1 IP for a team that won only 15 of their 44 games. Despite his success, Bleich was named only the 29th best prospect in the league by Baseball America.
Expectations for Bleich were high coming into his junior year, as many expected him to take that next step and become one of the best lefthanders in the country. After pitching to a 1.38 ERA in his first five starts, Bleich came down with a strained elbow ligament and missed two months before returning to the team in the postseason. In his first game back, Bleich provided four dominant innings of relief as Stanford took down Arkansas in the Regionals. He followed that up by shutting down Fullerton in the Super Regionals and keeping Florida State in check in the College World Series. Bleich got knocked around in his next start, and ultimately took the loss in his final game with the Cardinal, giving up 6 runs in 3.1 IP as Georgia eliminated Stanford.
Baseball America rated Bleich only the 54th best draft prospect in California because of the elbow troubles, however the Yanks grabbed him with their second pick, number 44 overall in the sandwich round. After the draft Jim Callis noted that Bleich could have been considered a consensus sandwich round talent had it not been for the injury. Negotiations went down to the August 15th signing deadline, but Bleich eventually agreed to a $700,000 bonus, roughly $163,000 below slot.
Pro Debut
Bleich joined Short Season Staten Island after signing, making one regular season start and one postseason appearance in relief of a rehabbing Jon Albaladejo. In those outings he combined to allow six baserunners (all hits) and two runs in seven innings of work while striking out ten.
After the regular season Bleich was assigning to the Waikiki Beach Boys of Hawaii Winter Baseball, where he finished second in the league with 35.2 IP and second amongst starters with a 1.77 ERA. He was also one of three starting pitchers named to the All-League Team. Bleich left the team briefly in late October/early November to attend a wedding in his family, however he threw a side session during the hiatus.
Scouting Report
While watching Bleich's postseason starts with Stanford I saw two fastballs: a pretty true four-seamer at 89-91, and a two-seamer with a nice wrinkle to it at 87-89 (disclaimer: I didn't stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night, but I'm supremely confident in my abilities to recognize different types of pitches). Reports indicate that he could dial his fastball up to 93-95 before the injury, however he has yet to regain that kind of velocity. His best pitch is a fading changeup that he throws with the same arm action as his fastball. He also throws a short & tight curveball, not a big ol' Barry Zito bender.
Bleich's two best assets are his command and his aggressiveness. He commands all four of his pitches very well and they play up because of it (he was rated as having the third best command of all high schoolers prior to the 2005 draft). He models his game after fellow Yankee and Louisiana native Andy Pettitte, and he pitches with the same mentality, attacking hitters in the zone and consistently pitching inside. That's particularly impressive because college guys tend to shy away from coming inside because hitters can still drive a ball in on their hands with metal bats. His makeup and work ethic is strong as well.
Big and solid at 6'2″, 190 lbs, Bleich has a great pitcher's frame with wide shoulders and a powerful lower half. He repeats his delivery well, but it still needs some fine tuning, particularly on the follow through. While there are some nice similarities to Pettitte, one thing Bleich doesn't have is Andy's pickoff move, or even a decent one for that matter. He fields his position well, primarily because he finishes his delivery square to the plate. The elbow strain is also a negative, but he's been pitching pain free since signing and doesn't have any other medical red flags.
You can see his draft video here.
2009 Outlook
There's no reason to think that Bleich won't start the season with High-A Tampa. I'm guessing the Yanks will look to move him up the ladder quickly like they did with Ian Kennedy and Joba Chamberlain, although I would prefer to see him spend at least one full season in minors, probably even two. I don't want Bleich to run into a situation like Joba is in now, where they're trying to figure out how the work around his innings limit. Hopefully they learned from the mistake and will let Bleich develop stamina and arm strength in the minors.
My Take
I was way to harsh with my criticsm of Bleich back on draft day, I tend to get caught up in the moment. I'm still not in love with the pick, I think there were better players on the board (namely Kyle Lobstein, Robbie Ross, and Josh Lindblom) but the Yanks' (hopefully) have better information than I do. Bleich was a solid addition to a system seemingly allergic to lefties, and he seems like a strong, competitive kid that will give the Yanks whatever he has. Let's call it … one thumb up, not quite two.

stila kicked off new york fashion week today working with up-and-coming designer dallin chase. the clothing line is as fun and unique as its name – a combo of the designer jason two children's names! and what we enjoyed most was how well dallin chase clothing paired with stila makeup.
dallin chase's spring 2011 line is preppy with a feminine edge that is also wearable. it is a collection that offers something for everyone and matching your makeup with it is seemless. sarah lucero created a preppy looking bronze babe for today's presentation. she wanted the models to look springy and effortless, with natural brows and stained lips and cheeks. "certain stains and colors may work better on you depending on your skintone," sarah explained, "however, the overall look remains the same." stila artists' jason araujo, david birdwell, and lindsey forrest helped sarah backstage today, and they all agreed this look is modern, fun, and wearable!

Experience and Expertise
Collectively our Waxers have over 85 years of experience, and dedication to our craft. Considering the majority of our requested service are Brazilians, that's an incredible amount of waxing. In that time, we have also tried and experimented with many varieties of wax types, temperatures, and other hair removal forms. Our services are refined by an incredible amount of effort and investment to our trade to offer you the best of our skills.
Just because you see implements in liquid doesn't mean they're clean. The solution we use for our tweezers and trimming scissors is a high level disinfectant and chemosterilant. It rids all things sporicidal, tuberculocidal and fungicidal.
Single Dipping Every Time
Double dipping is one of the most disgusting waxing practices. Imagine, after a long day of dozens of clients, you happen to be the lucky recipient of the bottom of a wax pot. Skin cells, hair, bacteria, fungus, blood, mucous membranes, fecal matter and you came in for just an upper lip wax? Think about it. Say no to double dipping, no matter what type of waxing it may be.
Fresh Products
After a long day at work or rushing around town, we want you to feel your best and freshest. We have cleansing wipes, deodorant, yummy perfumes, and anti-bacterial foot sprays available to you in each treatment room and our bathroom facility for your comfort and convenience.
Clean Linens and Sterile Surfaces
You never know who's touching what when we're not in the room. Cross contamination isn't sexy. We spray down every hard surface with a product designed to eliminate fungal, bacterial, viral and blood infections. Every stick that goes in that wax pot, cotton swab or strip that touches your body is disposed of between waxes so you can rest assured our waxing is super clean. If you're feeling environmental and don't need to be draped, place your towel to the side; otherwise everything is laundered. Every time.
Continuing Education and Research
We adore this industry, so collectively we are searching for new and interesting products and perpetually working on our skill sets. We do so on our travels around the world, or being in tune to upcoming trends. We're dedicated to growing and refining so we can be the most outstanding waxing boutique for you and the leaders in our field.

I'm not sure yet how hard that is, so it may go into 3.1. I could offer a dirty hack for 3.0 if you want, where you could write a script to reach through the Wing API into some internals to register your eggs as merge directories. We've already got support for this for Zope2 but it's not exposed to the user for the general case. Thanks, -- Stephan Deibel Wingware | Python IDE Advancing Software Development www.wingware.com

The Interesting Narrative Of The Life Of O. Equiano, Or G. Vassa -Page 176
Author: Equiano, Olaudah
Medium: Letterpress
Date: 1789
Extract from the autobiography of Olaudah Equiano. Here Equiano describes how he came to be on the ship the 'Charming Sally,' under the captaincy of James Doran. Equiano had been enslaved to Michael Pascal, an officer in the Royal Navy, and had seen military action with him in the Seven Years War. Pascal had promised to free Equiano after the War but instead sold him on to Doran. Equiano was also cheated out of the 'prize money' that he was expecting to receive for his time in action. He records his distress at remaining a slave and finding himself bound once more for the West Indies.

"Eating healthy is expensive."
That statement is commonly accepted, but not entirely true.
Sure, there aren't many healthy options on the dollar menu, but this doesn't mean healthy options aren't available without breaking the bank.
Shop outside of the packaged food section of the grocery store and create some tasty, healthy, and frugal meals for you and your family.
Here are a list of 6 things you can pick up on your next trip.
1. Oats: Packed with heart protecting nutrients, shown to lower cholesterol and fend of disease.
A cheap and healthy breakfast, especially during cold and flu season.
2. Celery: Eating celery regularly can lower blood pressure and assist in overall cardiovascular health.
Guys, celery contains androstenone and androstenol, pheromones that can help attract women.
3. Tomatoes: A great source of lycopene, an antioxidant shown to protect against breast cancer, and heart disease. Farm fresh tomatoes are preferred, but if they are out of season, jarred tomatoes are just fine.
4. Garlic: The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition recently found that eating high amounts of garlic lowered risk of ovarian, colorectal, and other cancers.
In addition to the delicious flavor garlic can add to your food, it also contains more than 70 active phytochemicals, including allicin, which may reduce blood pressure by as many as 30 points.
5. Dry Beans: For a couple bucks per pound, you receive a low fat protein rich food.
Beans are also extremely high in fiber, and other key nutrients including magnesium, calcium, and potassium.
6. Cayenne Pepper: Heat it up! Add some cayenne pepper to your food for some heat, and capsaicin, which can help lower cholesterol, burn fat, and increase metabolism. It's also great at clearing congestion.
A litte bit goes a long way, but go ahead and turn the heat up.
Making a few changes in the kitchen could have you feeling better and save you a bit of cash.
