You can purchase inexpensive tools, but high-quality tools that cost more initially will perform better, longer, and lend themselves to sharpening or blade replacement when required. Another part of the equation for calculating tool durability and life-span will be the care given to your tools after use. If you neglect your tools, they will need replacement regularly. If you care for them, they may last for generations. Most tree pruning jobs can be accomplished with four or five of the tools listed below.
1) The thumb and one other finger of your favoured hand can be used for pinching, the most basic of pruning methods. Someone like myself who is constantly nipping out the soft new growth at the tips of the tender shoots of annuals, perennials and houseplants will allow the fingernails of the thumb and the other chosen finger to grow slightly longer than the nails on the rest on that hand. Isn't the opposing thumb wonderful?
2) A folding pocket knife is indispensable if you spend a lot of time in the garden. The knife can be used in place of your fingernails for pinching and many other tasks that invariably come up in the garden. For this, a good single bladed folding knife with a stainless steel blade is preferred. The blade of a horticultural knife is usually 2 1/4 inches long and rounded rather than pointed at the tip. The cutting surface is either straight or for a multi-purpose grafting and pruning knife, the blade is slightly curved toward the end. The ones I use are made in Switzerland and usually have red or black plastic three rivet handles.
3) A good hand pruner is necessary, and they come in varying styles meant for different pruning chores. Many of them are economically priced and may not take replacement blades, while the more expensive makes are tooled for blade replacement, and some may be of an ergonomic design, helping to reduce hand and wrist problems. Generally speaking, there are two types of hand pruners, the bypass and the anvil. I prefer the bypass pruner, which has a hook that gives a resting surface for the branch you are pruning, with the upper blade passing the hook blade as it cuts the branch. Regardless of the type selected, you should not attempt to cut material much thicker than your finger with them. For larger material, use one of the next two tools.
4) A lopper gives you more of a mechanical advantage since they usually have longer handles and jaws designed for larger cutting capacity. A good rule of thumb is that loppers are capable of cutting a branch with a diameter equal to the distance between the centre of the blade and the hook or anvil when the blades are open at right angles to one another. The better loppers come with a small shock absorber below the pivot point and have double bolted handles. Smaller handled loppers are also available that can substitute for hand pruners when cutting thorny material, or if you lack the hand strength for half to 3/4 inch branch cutting with hand pruners. For material larger than the size you can comfortably cut with loppers, it is best to use the next tool.
5) A pruning saw is the tool of choice if the branch you are trying to cut is too big for pruners or loppers. Unlike carpenters saws, pruning saws cut on the pull stroke rather than the push stroke. Most quality pruning saws have a curved blade, making it easier to fit and work in tight spots, and often have a slot every four or five teeth to allow sticky sawdust to escape the cutting teeth. Pruning saws are also available with attached extendable poles to reach shrubs and trees a distance above the ground. For branches larger than five or six inches in diameter, it is best to be very cautious, as cutting and felling them can be very tricky and will require some skill to perform the task safely. In the interest of your safety, it makes sense to call a licensed, insured, landscaper or arborist when cutting large limbs on your property.
6) The final tool that a home-owner might want to consider is a set of hedge shears for cutting back flowering shrubs and hedges. They are like big two-handed scissors, often with one blade serrated or notched to hold the foliage while the other blade crosses the notched blade and makes the cuts. Built-in shock absorbers are recommended on hedge shears to protect against repetitive hand, wrist and arm fatigue if they are used a lot.
All of the above tools need cleaning after use to remove the sap, leaf, and branch residues from the cutting edges. Every third or fourth use they will benefit from lightly rubbing the blades with steel wool and light oil, and then rubbing the inner blade surface with an old candle or canning paraffin before storing. To restore smooth action, it helps to now and again disassemble the tool and clean and lubricate the pivot bolt and the hole the bolt rides in. For tools with wooden handles, be sure to wipe the wood clean and dry after each use and consider a coat of linseed oil and a rub with a clean cloth every fall before storing them for winter.
Most of the pruning can be accomplished with the four or five basic tools listed above. If you purchase high-quality tools, give them a little TLC after each use, and a tune up yearly you can increase their life span almost indefinitely. If you neglect your tools, they will need replacement regularly and will not be a pleasure to work with when you need them.

Tree surgeons in Leeds are the people that you see on the top of the trees working their way to maintain the natural landscape. There are several things that a tree surgeon will do which includes trimming the trees to cutting them and even planting new ones in accordance to the requirements of the premises. Being well versed with several types of landscapes, a tree doctor has the required experience when it comes to handling different types of gardens, trees, etc. In fact, a tree surgeon also carries a proper tool kit that enables him or her to work their way through every kind of landscape. However, prior to implementing any approach, a good tree surgeon will always do a detailed analysis of the perimeter and accordingly figure out the best possible solution that can be implemented.
For those of you who are not familiar with the job of a tree surgeon, here is a brief preview of five common tree surgery techniques used by experts.
Pruning: This is a technique often used in case of trees that are infected. Through pruning, the tree surgeons will identify the areas that can be cut without the risk of harming the tree. This in turn helps to control the decay as well as minimize the threat of the damage spreading to the other parts of the plantation. In some cases, pruning comes across as a cost effective option and saves you the burden on spending for removing the entire tree.
Felling: These are situations when the tree doctors are asked to take complete control of the tree and stop it from harming anyone. Felling is not an easy job since it poses a lot of threat to the life of the person doing it. But, tree surgeons are experts and know the techniques involved. Therefore, they are the best guys to get the job done in a professional manner.
Thinning: Tree surgeons are able to analyse a tree and decide the amount of trimming or thinning that it needs. In fact, their expertise lies in knowing the right amount of thinning that improves the health of the tree.
Crown cleaning: Amidst the huge spread of big trees are a lot of weak branches that add volume and no weight to the appearance of the tree. These branches need to be removed by a professional tree surgeon on a daily basis.
Support option: Sometimes the harsh external environment tends to weaken the trees and may trigger an untimely fall unless they are given the required support. Leeds Tree Surgeons specialise in using cables and a host of other innovative techniques to support the tree until it heals and resumes its pace of growth.

Some bands think the best thing about cross-country touring is that it's a good opportunity to discover America. But as Mike D tells it, what he and his fellow Beastie Boys most look forward to about a road trip is the chance to discover America's record stores.
"To us the bonus in touring is definitely record shopping," he says, over the phone from a tour stop in Davenport, Iowa. "The bummer is getting to cities and not having enough time to go record shopping. Actually, we were in Boulder yesterday, and it's weird. Denver and Boulder are good record buying cities. I don't know why. But I scored a bunch there, so that was cool.
"But it's not like I'd hoped," he adds. "I had this idea in my head before we went on tour, that I was going to score every record I've ever been looking for -- from Sun Ra to Don Cherry to James Brown to Rufus Thomas. I thought, 'It's all out there, and I'm going to find it all for 99 cents.'

Like many others, we do our best to be environmentally sound, although it's not always easy in the world of take-away food.
We have had some coverage in the media about our efforts (our press release) and we have also had an enquiry from one of our local schools! Pupils at Crosby Ravensworth C of E School sent letters to companies big and small, asking what they were doing about plastics… half the companies replied, including Shap Chippy. Apparently my letter got 10 out of 10! Finally aged fifty-something, 10/10… yay!
This is what I wrote back to Sam…
Thank you very much for your letter about plastic at Shap Chippy which was delivered to us on the 9th February. I am very pleased that you are taking an interest in these important subjects. We are also worried about plastic rubbish.
Sometimes problems come with progress but I do not think we can stop progress…
Fish and chips used to be wrapped in newspaper which saved money and recycled paper – progress! But the problem was that newspaper had poisonous ink on and germs from lots of hands, so now we have to use new, clean paper.
Fish and chips are best hot, and the invention of polystyrene meant they stayed hot longer! This was progress! The problem was that polystyrene is bad for the environment. Shap Chippy now uses "bio-boxes". These are made from plant waste – this is progress! The problem is they have to travel from China. The polystyrene boxes used less fuel to get to Shap as they are made in Preston. Another problem is that the bio boxes cost three times as much and not every one wants to pay extra.
The invention of plastic bags was progress! They were invented as a cheap and convenient way to solve the problem of carrying a lot of shopping. But they are now part of the big problem: rubbish everywhere.
The Government tried to stop people using plastic bags by making big companies charge for them. Shap Chippy is a small company so we did not have to charge for them. We decided to charge for our bags to try and stop people using them and it has worked! Lots of people now bring their own bags for fish and chips which is great! We charge for the bags we do sell and give the money to the charity shop next door. We hope to get paper alternatives soon but we can't get big enough bags with handles and they are all very expensive. We hope to offer a choice soon, which will mean even fewer plastic bags are used.
We have free wooden forks for our food. We charge for plastic forks so most people use the free wooden ones, but some people want something bigger. The money we charge for plastic forks we give to help keep Shap Swimming Pool open! Biodegradable forks are now becoming available but they cost four times more than the plastic ones. We hope to sell them soon.
I hope that this helps you realise we want to reduce plastic. Another reason we want to stop people using plastic bags is because our boxes need air to keep the fish and chips crispy. The plastic bags seals the boxes and can make the food soggy!
I wonder whether you saw what I had put on Facebook on the 1st February?!
"Shap Chippy
Published by Georgina Perkins · 1 February ·
Like a lot of people we are looking at ways to reduce our use of plastic… We got rid of polystyrene boxes last year in favour of our bio-boxes (NB they go in your garden waste!) and we are hoping to get cardboard pots for side orders of curry, gravy and peas… in the meantime if you would prefer to have your side in the bio-box with your meal and not have a pot, please ask! We are researching lots of options… Every little helps!"

"Giant Steps is fertile networking ground. A few years back I saw Nancy Lyons speak on a panel, and knew I needed to rope her into speaking to the young women's leadership group that I co-chair. She's done it for three years in a row now, bless her heart. I connected with Zahra Aljabri the same year I met Nancy, and we've collaborated several times. I was able to feature her business, Mode-sty, in one of my Star Tribune articles and on my blog. This year, Zahra gave a keynote to my young women's leadership group, and they adored her. I also connected with Levi Weinhagen two years in a row, which led to some writing work at Rewire for me and friendship of mutual respect. Giant Steps has introduced me to some of my favorite people in the world, and I know that attending connects me with some of the Twin Cities' most talented, driven, innovative people."
Sally McGraw-Author, Teacher, Communications Professional; Blogger/Owner, Already Pretty
• Have you made any connections at Giant Steps that have led to new projects, new opportunities, or enhanced your work in some way? Yes and Yes! I met so many new faces as Giant Steps 2014. I exchanged several business cards with creatives that spoke on several panels or break out workshops, and I was able to connect with a few other guests as well. Since then, a few GS panelists have hired me to help with PR initiatives for their projects or have asked me to collaborate with them. Ex: Desdamona, Pete Rhodes, Sherwood Herndon just to name a few
• Did you learn or hear something at Giant Steps that shifted your thinking? Absolutely. I learned that I am not alone in my business endeavors. It was great to hear stories from the panelists about their wins and challenges, and also how they tried to overcome moments of failure. I also loved hearing about the Legal insight from the breakout session, and also how to maximize social media and online platforms. I was able to take my mindset I had, and allow myself to open up for more ideas and think bigger picture rather than small steps. But also, some of the insight given mentioned to take it one step at a time and not get too overwhelmed with the bigger picture. One step, One day at a time 🙂
• Did you come away from Giant Steps with a new way of looking at what you do or a new way of looking at our community of creatives? So much so! It was very inspiring to be in a venue and room with others that are passionate about what they do, or passionate about supporting and learning of others. It was great to see a musician, television rep, donut shop owner, and others all have such different stories yet so much in common with the challenges they faced and overcame. It was great to see others that I know and also met share their stories because now I can help support them and I wouldn't have learned of/about them any other way. Giant Steps was a great platform for inspiration on my personal and business endeavors, but also a great way to gain exposure to other like minded people that I wouldn't have met otherwise. Since then I've attended a few of their events or subscribed to their channels/email lists, plus quite a few coffee/HHs set up 🙂 That's always fun

I was invited to speak at Giant Steps 2011 on a panel with Kevin Beacham. Afterward, we talked in depth about how the music and film communities faced similar struggles and opportunities for audience-building and distribution, in light of our growing social media and web environment. That fortuitous meeting lead to future meetings and eventually a collaborative relationship. Kevin serves as the Music Supervisor for my episodic documentary web series, Risking Light, which will launch this summer. This web series is one of the first of its kind for documentary film in its construction and distribution strategy. As Music Supervisor, Kevin has sourced music from local musicians, as well as introduced me to Chris Strouth, who is writing original theme music for the series. This collaboration will introduce local musicians to an entirely new international audience through the release of Risking Light and strengthens the ties between the local music and film communities, which tend to work in silos. Anyone who has met Kevin knows that he's a wonderful person and community-oriented collaborator. I feel so lucky to have met him through Giant Steps.
-Dawn Mikkelson Filmmaker, Founder of Emergence Pictures
I've been a part of 4 different years of Giant Steps, and I've walked away from 3 of them with job offers and new collaborators. Last year, through a connection I made at GS, McNally Smith College of Music invited me to perform, lecture, and compose with their students. This, in turn, introduced me to a singer who I went on to record an album with, a horn arranger who I wrote 2 new songs with, and a couple key staff members at 89.3 The Current. More than any work offer or useful connection though, what I've taken away from Giant Steps is an important lesson: "Networking" doesn't need to feel forced or sleazy…it can simply mean recognizing that there are lessons to be learned from people no matter how similar or different their work is from yours, and opportunities can come from very unexpected places."
~ Brendan Kelly Producer, DJ
"My first Giant Steps was as an attendee, very close in time to when I started my own firm and was still wondering if I could make it work. I found a community at Giant Steps that made me realize I could, and that there were also a LOT of folks I'd really love to work with, including my son's mom, who was a panelist and who I had recently separated from. Giant Steps was the first event we attended together again, and it was the perfect place for us to realize how many similarities we still had, and how we still wanted to support each other. The following year I became involved as a presenter and sponsor, and have been happy to support Giant Steps and bring others into the family each year."
~ Davis Senseman Lawyer
Question #1 – I made an amazing connection that led to a wonderful summer project with a group of artist. I was the photographer for the project. It was a program for young people of color and introducing them to the arts at the Ordway and visiting McNally. The students created a program to show their various talents. They worked with local, national and international artist. I had just lost my job, the position was terminated. I was freaking out, but my wonderful friend Lisa Brimmer thought of me and the pictures I took at Giant Steps and hired me to cover her wonderful program. I got to work with Chasity Brown, Toki Wright and Chad Helsup. It was great, we were friends prior but never got a moment to work together. I am so grateful for Susan Campion for introducing me to Giant Steps it not only allowed me to make connection with new people but also allowed me to reconnect with others whom I never had the chance to work with.
Question #2 – One of the biggest and important things that I have learned at Giant Steps is that you can forge your own path, you don't have to stick to what society says for your career and business life. I was always wondering how in the heck would I be able to put my art and business life together and Giant Steps helped with their panel discussion and workshops on different ways you can live your dreams. Another huge thing was always always keep an open mind and see how you can use your art to connect with businesses looking to market in different ways. We all have hobbies and things we LOVE to do even if our business life is the total opposite.
Question #3 – I definitely left with new ways of looking at our unique community of creatives. I met an artist that literally has his work embedded in the sidewalks around the Twin Cities!! Everytime I see one of his poems on the sidewalk, I get re-inspired and reminds me that the world will make room for your dreams and it could be right under your feet! LOL!!!
~ Bianca Rhodes (don't have her title) and format of her testimonial too????
-Yes!! I connected with one of the panelist and I am in one of her projects. I heard Joan Vorderbruggen speak about how she got her current job and when she stepped into the office saw the dimension on the project and decided to say she needed a raise and full time to be able to do it. Getting that strength to ask for what you need even while its your dream come true stuck with me.
I approached her later since I follow closely the Made Here Series and love her projects as well as her work ethic and now I feel honored to be part of Made Here 2015.
-Everything shifted! It gave me a sense of acceptance that beginning's may not look as much, may take longer than expected or be discouraged at the time. I just remember so vividly the story Sherwood Herndon told about his meeting in New York and how he came up with the idea and ironed his shirt at 4 am because he could not sleep anymore, he was ready. It just made me feel I am on the right track when I feel that urge to move forward. I have been encouraging my gut instincts for this past year and my resume is proof.
-Yes. You can ask community creatives who attend Giant Steps out for coffee and all most all of them will say yes!!! (biggest secret ever kept and Nancy Lyons made me notice it)
LOL. I sometimes visualize those conversations in my head, it helps to develop a creative discourse worth while when encountering admirable community creators like the ones who speak at Giant Steps. It's nice to be alert of the projects that are going around and be able to participate when possible even as a spectator. Just loove Giant Steps!!
~ Carolina Borja
What I love most about Giant Steps and what I think sets it a part from so many other conferences aimed at "creatives," is that it takes the word "creative" and makes it attainable and own-able for everyone. My first year at Giant Steps I met musicians, artists, business owners, accountants, and teachers ALL trying to collaborate for the sake of creativity. That's what makes the connections I've made there authentic; you're connecting by influencing one another.
~ Courtney Kupsch
I've attended two Giant Steps conferences including last year's conference. The speakers motivated me to follow my dream in using my skills, experience and education in the corporate world to launch an arts-based, for profit, social benefit company called Glorious Hugs. We curate care themed packages of local handmade art, commissioned poetry, design discussion questions on the art and poetry and add food and other items to alleviate loneliness and encourage social interaction in senior citizens.
Thank you for the shot of courage!

|Home > Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy with sub-diffraction-limited resolution using near-field optical probes
We report fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) measurements using near-field scanning optical microscopy (NSOM) probes to produce a sub-diffraction-limited observation area. An order of magnitude reduction in the area compared to confocal FCS has been achieved. We also demonstrate a simple means to model the autocorrelation decay due to diffusion within the excitation profile at the NSOM probe aperture. The use of probes with smaller apertures is expected to provide an additional order of magnitude reduction in the observation area, thus enabling the study of cellular membranes with higher concentrations of fluorophores than is currently possible with diffraction-limited techniques.

Honoring the Council Fathers: A Modest Proposal
We are in the midst of an extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy, called at the end of the celebrations commemorating the 50th anniversary of the close of the Second Vatican Council, capping commemorations that started with the Year of Faith. For the last four years, the Church has marked this anniversary in a number of ways.
In October 2012, Pope Benedict presided over a solemn liturgy commemorating the opening of the Council, with Patriarch Bartholomew and Archbishop Rowan Williams in places of honor at his side. Also honored during the event 16 Council Fathers, any of the approximately 3000 bishops who participated in at least one of the four sessions of the Council. (At the time, there were several dozen still living).
They were joined by eight Eastern Catholic Patriarchs, 80 Cardinals, 191 Archbishops and Bishops participating in the XIII Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops, together with 104 Presidents of Episcopal Conferences from throughout the world.
Today, a few months after celebrating the anniversary of the close of the Council, there are about 35 living Council Fathers; 19 of whom lived through all four sessions.
In this Jubilee of Mercy, i repeat a proposal i first made during the Year of Faith:
Make the remaining Council Fathers members of the College of Cardinals.
At the least, those who were Council Fathers for all four sessions.
The senior-most, Bishop Jan van Cauwelaert, CICM, of Inongo, Congo has been a bishop for more than 62 years. The junior of those present throughout the Council is Seattle's Archbishop emeritus Raymond Hunthausen, ordained bishop mere weeks before the opening of the first session. (Full disclosure: Hunthausen confirmed me)
Of the 35, four are already cardinals, Francis Arinze, Jose de Jesus Pimiento Rodriguez, Serafim Fernandes de Arujo, and Sfeir (of those, only Arinze was not at all four sessions of the Council).
So, that means 15 new cardinals, if only those from all four sessions, or 31 if all of them.
All are over 80, so none would be voting. This is not about who selects the next pope or appointing people whose work lies in the future.
This would be an honorary step, something to mark a half-century of episcopal ministry and leadership in the rarest and most solemn exercise of their ministry of governance over the universal church. This is about honoring the Council, and the entire church. A small, but symbolic gesture.
Most likely, most would not be able to attend a consistory to receive the red hat and ring, but simpler may be better.
I think it would be a nice way to close out the Year of Mercy, a final way to mark the 50 years of blessing brought by the Holy Spirit through the universal and extraordinary magisterium of the Church, expressly in a spirit of synodality.
Granted: any credibly accused of sexual abuse of children, covering up the same, or other similarly grave matters should be excluded.
Very brief thought on popes emeritii
[Found in the archives of half-written posts, from shortly after the election of Pope Francis, the third anniversary of which we have just celebrated]
When your pastor retires, he is not called Father Emeritus John Smith.
Rather, Father John, Pastor emeritus of St. Whatshisname Parish.
When your bishop retires, he is not called Bishop Emeritus Sean Patrick Murphy.
Rather, His Excellency, Bishop Sean, Bishop emeritus of Brigadoon.
Or, His Eminence, Cardinal Sean, Bishop emeritus of Brigadoon
(if also has a Roman suburbicarian see, titulus, or diaconiae).
When the pope retires, he ought not be called Pope Emeritus Benedict.
Rather, His Holiness, Pope Benedict, Bishop emeritus of Rome.
This seemed to be clear, we may recall, when suddenly it was not.
But then it was, at least to the new pope.
From such a good ecclesiologist as Ratzinger, the style Pope Emeritus always struck a discordant note. He knows better than most that there is no office of pope, and therefore no emeritus pope, only the office of bishop of Rome to which the style of "pope" adheres. (Like the priest who is styled "father").
Roman Pontiff emeritus, also offered in the official statement, never really took off, either (can't imagine why…).
Turns out, it apparently was not his idea, and he would have been happy with "Father Benedict" (or Pope Benedict, since "pope" just means "father" anyway), as a style. This also recalls and reminds us of the practice that all clergy – bishop, deacon, presbyter – can be addressed as "Father", not only the presbyterate.
That would have made a lot more sense: Father Benedict, Bishop emeritus of Rome.
Church reform and papal retirement, a year on
John Allen's article commemorating the first anniversary of Pope Benedict's resignation this week points out that for all the attention Pope Francis has received this year as a 'revolutionary' or 'reformer', the single most revolutionary act by the bishop of Rome in the last year was Benedict's humble and courageous decision to retire.
Even here in Rome, studying at the heart of the Church, I found out first through Facebook.
It is a great example of something that should not have been surprising, or all that revolutionary. Certainly, it was, given the climate and context of the Church in recent decades. Following on the heels of the soon-to-be saint John Paul II, who lingered in office several years longer than was probably good for himself or for the Church, one might have thought it was blasphemous to suggest something of the sort. In a sense, Benedict, being the excellent ecclesiologist that he is, had to resign, to disabuse the papacy from the personality cult, and remind us that every office in the Church is one of service and ministry; not power, prestige, or persona.
The impact on the conclave was obvious, as many commentators have already noted. Rather than an overwhelming outpouring of grief at the death of the towering figure of John Paul II that got his right-hand man elected, the cardinals were able to take better stock of the real situation in the Church and especially in the curia, and set about doing something about it.
It never ceases to amaze me how strong the current is that was in favor of the retreat from reform (sometimes called a 'reform of the reform') in a Church that has declared, a the highest level of authority, ecclesia semper purificanda. The truth is that there is no purification without reform; there is no reform without action. We must act to change the Church, so that the Church can change the world.
For the last generation, we have been told repeatedly that 'tinkering with Church structures' is not what is needed; instead, greater personal holiness is the all-encompassing solution. There is both wisdom and naivety in such statements. The wisdom is that prayer is paramount, and holiness is indeed a necessary virtue in all Christians; the naivety is that tinkering is not what is needed not because it is ineffective, but because some structures have been so badly neglected for so long that any 'tinkering' is just putting lipstick on a pig. Anything short of a radical and all-encompassing overhaul is complicity, or at least complacency.
But in a sacramental reality, we cannot underappreciate the real value of a change in tone; we cannot dismiss it as superficial. Which is not at all to buy into the oversimplified dichotomies we see, both in secular media (e.g.Rolling Stone) and in the reactionary wing of the fold that contrast Benedict and Francis, putting one or the other in a completely unfavorable light.
It has always seemed to me that Benedict's biggest liability was not (just) a hostile secular media who never let go of the image of God's Rottweiler – because in truth, his biggest fans never did either, still hoping for the hammer of heresy to drop. It was about image, though: His apparent penchant for baroque bling distracted from his genuine reform efforts.
For too many in the church, these trappings of power and privilege – whether imperial, renaissance, or baroque in origin – go hand in hand with clericalism and the sex abuse scandal. Who can forget that it was the church of lace surplices, brocaded maniples and mumbled latin anaphorae – with its concomitant failure at human formation in seminaries and warped ecclesiology – that brought us the greatest wave of scandal the Church has faced in the modern age? It does not matter that there is little or no direct causal relationship, but the correlation is too widely fixed: "traditionalism" = clericalism = abuse of power = a climate of permission for child sex abuse.
Joseph Ratzinger had long been trying to redeem that, to separate out the legitimate traditions from their accrued associations. He may have a point that the transition from the Missal of Pius V to that of Paul VI was too abrupt, but his solution came forty years too late. Add that to his well-established reputation and the series of administrative and communications fiascos, and there was only so much he could do.
So he did what he could: he set the stage for someone without the same baggage to come along and continue the good work he had started. I can imagine that he realized the cost of trying to restore some place in the mainstream for the older form of the liturgy came at too high a cost, or that the cause of reunion with the SSPX was lost. Or perhaps he saw his work done already: he brought the tridentine liturgy out from the periphery and into the center of the Church, in whatever small way. He left no more excuses for "traditionalism" to be a code word for dissent, and planted the seeds that may redeem that part of our liturgical patrimony from its oft-associated failures in ecclesiology, pastoral formation, and leadership.
Thanks to Pope Benedict, contemplation and action could again meet in the endless effort of Church reform. There is much to be done, since, in some respects, the Church stopped being interested in self-purification and reform sometime around the time I entered adolescence, as if the whole idea had been a failed experiment of the 70s and 80s rather than a movement of the Holy Spirit.
Enter Pope Francis, who genuinely seems to be setting about to reform the Church, perhaps (we can hope) on as grand a scale as Gregory I or VII, Pius V, or John XXIII. Some will call anything he accomplishes too little, too late; others will denounce it as too much, too fast. I would instinctively err on the side of the former, considering how many centuries it often takes to resolve problems in this institution, but in the last year it has been hard even to keep up with the constant flow of good news. I continue to pray for deep, genuine, and theological reform of the Church, and I have hope that it is coming. The Church is, after all, called to be holy, too, not just the people in it!
Vatican Bank's first-ever Annual Report
As if there was not enough in the Church reform circuit today, with the Roman pontiff's second big interview and the first meeting of the Council of Cardinals responsible for reforming the apparati of universal governance, the Istituto per le Opere di Religione (Institute for the Works of Religion), better known as the Vatican Bank, issued its first-ever annual report in its 125 year history.
The groundwork was laid by Pope Benedict in 2010, whose most successful reform efforts, arguably, revolved around Vatican finances. The efforts were accelerated after Pope Francis was elected.
In 2012, the IOR commemorated 125 years of history since the creation of its predecessor, the "Commissione ad Pias Causas", by Pope Leo XIII in 1887.
According to the president's letter,
The Annual Report seeks to contribute to the transparency which the Catholic Church, our customers, our correspondent banks, our authorities and the public rightfully expect.
The IOR posted earnings of EUR 86.6 million, which allowed us to contribute EUR 54.7 million towards the budget of the Holy See, while transferring EUR 31.9 m to our general operating risk reserves.
And we are conservative: in 2012 we had a balance sheet total of EUR 5 billion in assets, with equity of EUR 769 million. On an operating level, we stand on very solid foundations.
The IOR has about 18,900 customers, half of which are religious orders. The dicasteries and nunciatures of the Holy See account for another 15%. Bishops and other clergy are about 13%, dioceses 9%, and the rest split between employees, educational institutes, and of course, the Holy See itself and the Vatican City-State.
The IOR launched its first website in July of this year: www.ior.va.
The full 100-page report is available for download or review here.
Hope and Change in the Church
A recent conversation highlights the challenge of talking about "hope" and "change" in the Church.
A few weeks ago I had a quick lunch with an old friend and a new colleague. Eventually my friend (a Notre Dame alumna, "new evangelist" and educator) and I got into a lively discussion about "change" in the Church, given all the hope that has been expressed lately about what changes Pope Francis might bring.
My position is basically this: it is naïve to think that the Church does not change, and it is unhelpful at best and dangerous at worst to suggest that the Church cannot change. The Batman meme above vividly demonstrates a misguided and wrong-headed understanding of the Church.
"The Church should change" does not mean "the truth must/can change". It is Church discipline – and often really just Church culture – not dogma, which should change in the minds of most. Though there are always exceptions, I suspect most Catholics are not agitating for moral relativism, an end to Trinitarian theology, a return to Arianism, denial of the Resurrection or the Real Presence, promoting abortion or war, that we do away with ordained ministry or that we change the Sunday Eucharist into an hour long drum circle featuring Kumbaya in a dozen different languages.
What most Catholics mean when they say that they hope for change in the Church is ecclesiological, ecumenical, pastoral, and practical. They want a positive gospel message ("God is love" or "Love God and thy neighbor", and all that radical wishy-washy stuff, you know); they want better preaching, better music, better liturgy; they want transparency and accountability in church decisions, participation in governance, and maybe even more married clergy and less clericalism. They want bishops (and pastors, deacons, DRE's et al.) to be servant-leaders, not lords of their own fiefdoms. They want ecumenism and interreligious dialogue to work, and to have real effect. They want more effort spent on social justice than on ecclesiastical protocol, more money spent on education and pastoral care than on neo-Baroque bling.
But my experience of most Catholics, admittedly, is based on my experience in parish pastoral ministry and Catholic higher education. My friend has spent several years on the front lines of pre-evangelization, new evangelization, and even good old-fashioned evangelization and catechesis, often in the context of guiding groups of pilgrims and students around Rome's most sacred sites.
Her position was that "the church should change" is basically code for "the church's teaching about morals should change to match the social norms of the western world." When people say change, they mean that the church should get out of its old-fashioned rut, and embrace a woman's right to choose, gay marriage, equal rights (and rites) for women in the ecclesiastical workforce, and so forth.
That it may be, in some cases, just as in others, "the church should change" means "the church should eliminate the novus ordo, go back to the Tridentine rite, and embrace traditional Catholic culture (circa 1940)."
The problem, though, in assuming that "the church can/must change" is code for a particular agenda is that it stymies the possibility of real conversation and dialogue. The Church is in fact always changing. All we have to do is look at the papacy of Benedict XVI to see a number of examples of change in the church. And no one can accuse Ratzinger of being radical, wishy-washy, or unorthodox.
He changed the liturgy, both in terms of the translations and in terms of the mark his own personal preferences have had. Even just during my four years in Rome, you could see lots of changes to the liturgy at St. Peter's – longer, less participatory music; rosaries before mass begins; communion no longer offered in the hand; a crucifix and candles dominating the altar; cardinal-deacons vesting in mitre and dalmatic; etc., etc. He changed canon law to exclude deacons from acting "in persona Christi capitis," making this phrase more about Eucharistic presidency and less about holy orders or leadership in the Church. He innovated in creating ordinariates for disenchanted Anglicans. He pushed forward reforms relating to the sex abuse crisis (at least for priests, if not bishops). He created a personnel office for the Vatican. He called in an outside audit of Vatican finances.
In short, the Church changed a lot under Pope Benedict; why would we not expect it to change with Pope Francis? The Church changes, and survives. Change simply means that things are different than they were before. It is a sign of life, and of fidelity to the principle ecclesia semper purificanda (the church must always be purified). Rather than dismissing the idea of the church changing, embrace it – critically, intelligently, and faithfully.
Remember Dante's Divine Comedy – God is pure dynamism. The only creature which cannot change is Satan, eternally frozen in the deepest pit of hell.
After 35 Years: A Return to Reform?
My friends can tell you that I have a bad habit. Actually, more than one, but only this one is relevant at the moment. When going through my email inbox, I tend to scan everything, then work from the least important first 'saving the best for last', so to speak. Especially after a busy week, I might spend an hour just sorting through quasi-spam and quick reply messages, clearing the space so I can respond to the really important ones. The problem is that I too often run out of time, and messages from my closest friends or strongest ecumenical contacts languish a little too long awaiting attention. The same logic has log-jammed my blog lately.
Since about two weeks after Pope Francis was elected as bishop of Rome, I have sat down several times to start a reflection on his fledgling papacy. The problem is, every time I do this, I get distracted reading about whatever exciting new thing he has done. Often they are little changes, gestures and actions, but they paint a picture of humility and commitment to reform, openness to dialogue and noble simplicity of faith and its expression.
By now the litany of these little things is well known: He appears on the balcony dressed in the simple white simar, like John Paul I, rather than the mozetta and stole of JPII and BXVI. He asks for our blessing before offering his own. He makes personal phone calls. He demonstrates astute ecclesiological acumen by referring to himself as the bishop of Rome, and his predecessor as bishop emeritus of Rome, exclusively. He stops by to pay his hotel bill in person. He moves an entire liturgy out of St. Peter's and into a juvenile prison. He washes the feet of women and Muslims. He calls the Patriarch of Constantinople 'my brother Andrew'. He's formed a representative committee of cardinals to reform the governance of the Catholic Church – or at least the Roman curia. He has unblocked the path to sainthood of one of the 20th century's great martyrs, Oscar Romero. And so on…
A couple weeks after he was elected, one veteran vaticanist noted that "suddenly, everyone around here is laughing and smiling." A senior colleague said "I had forgotten what it was like to be so encouraged and inspired." A fellow student commented that it "felt as if a burden has been removed that I did not know I had been carrying my whole life [c.35 years]"
Although great joy truly has the reaction of the vast majority of people to Francis, not all have been positive. It took the traditionalist fringe all the way until Holy Thursday (15 days after election) to retreat into the old safeholds of disrespect and antagonism. First, they blame the press for creating a false Francis vs. Benedict comparison, and leap on every fan's expression of praise for Francis as though it were an insult to Benedict. Some immediately decried his humility as false, a kind of stage prop, and held up as a paragon of true humility the faithful master of ceremonies of Benedict XVI, novus Marini, for 'suffering' the loss of his lace. They have accused him of being a slob, of undermining the office of the papacy. Basically, they are afraid of change, hurt that the first pope since Pius XII to actually like all the neo-baroque nonsense resigned, and afraid of a return to the days when people were excited about the changes that Vatican II promised. [e.g.]
Everyone else had just long since forgotten what it was like to feel excited about the prospect of change in the church.
Earlier this month a Jesuit friend told me how his confreres have noted that the 'young people' do not seem to like Francis very much. The problem, though, here in Rome, is that 'young people' are judged as is everything else: clerically. The seminarians under 40, the same ones who were drawn to the priesthood as a power structure, certainly are nervous. But everyone else is giddy. The young, the old, the long-suffering and the fair-weather, everyone is happy but for those who invested in birettas and lace surplices (cf. John Allen, Jr.). But even for them, there remains a place in the Church. How could there not? No one is threatening their particular peculiarities and liturgical peccadilloes. But they simply are no longer being championed as the next big thing.
Yesterday, Pope Francis' comments to the Conference of Latin American Religious were leaked, in which he seems to suggest not taking the CDF investigation of Religious too seriously, bemoans his own lack of administrative organization, acknowledges the problem of a "gay lobby" in the Vatican, and identifies as two of the most significant concerns today the Pelagianism of restorationist/traditionalist movements, and the Gnosticism of certain spiritualist movements.
One is the Pelagian current that there is in the Church at this moment. There are some restorationist groups. I know some, it fell upon me to receive them in Buenos Aires. And one feels as if one goes back 60 years! Before the Council… One feels in 1940…" The Pope is then said to have illustrated this with a joke: "when I was elected, I received a letter from one of these groups, and they said: "Your Holiness, we offer you this spiritual treasure: 3,525 rosaries." Why don't they say, 'we pray for you, we ask…', but this thing of counting…
(Though, it strikes me now, what will this mean for all the plenary indulgences I have been able to accrue while living in Rome? I have been saving them up for a rainy day, and now the numbers do not matter? Sheesh…)
Yet, lest you fear (or cheer) His Holiness' critique of the extreme fringe as a radical departure from his predecessor, Andrea Tornielli reminded us of this commentary on the same topic from then-Cardinal Ratzinger:
…the other face of the same vice is the Pelagianism of the pious. They do not want forgiveness and in general they do not want any real gift from God either. They just want to be in order. They don't want hope they just want security. Their aim is to gain the right to salvation through a strict practice of religious exercises, through prayers and action. What they lack is humility which is essential in order to love; the humility to receive gifts not just because we deserve it or because of how we act…
Joseph Ratzinger, "Guardare Cristo: esempi di fede, speranza e carità" [Looking at Christ: Examples of faith, hope and charity]. 1986.
The sense now, for most, is that people are hopeful, but hesitate to be too hopeful. More and more, people are reminded of John Paul I, Papa Luciani, who had the same simple, honest way with the Petrine ministry and the hope that he had instilled that the reforms of the Council would continue, only to have those hopes dashed after only 33 days. Three months after Francis' election, I think some people are still afraid that their hopes will not have the chance to come to fruition. But hope it is.
The first African pope? 1800 years ago…
I was about to start my own blog on the three african popes, because of all the attention being given to Cardinals Turkson, of Ghana, and Arinze, of Nigeria.
But then, i found this blog, and decided it was even better, because it came with a cool map showing the known or presumed birthplace for all known bishops of Rome outside of Europe. He even includes St. Peter.
I am still going to work on a quick post about the geographic distribution of the college of cardinals, and how it might better represent global Catholicism.
Map of Non-European Popes
Pope Benedict XVI's decision to resign has taken both the Catholic and non-Catholic worlds by immense shock. Some have begun to play the game of "who will be the next Pope?" This game usually ends in a surprise no one saw coming but this does not stop people from trying over and over again. Some have speculated , as they did in 2005 right after the death of Pope John Paul II's death, that there will be an African or Latin American Pope. Some even go as far to say there could be the "first black Pope in 1,500 years."
I decided to study and map out popes born outside of Europe. There were some surprises among the results.
Of the 265 officially recognized Popes, 217 have been Italian while 17 were French and 13 were Greek (though this includes ethnic and cultural Greeks who were from Greek Italy and Greek Asia). So to solve problems like this I declared a non-European pope to be one who was born outside the modern understanding of what is Europe, regardless of ethnicity or culture.
Three Popes were born in Roman Africa, which today is part of Algeria, Tunisia, and Libya. These African popes were Pope Victor I (189-199), Pope Miltiades (311 to 314), and Pope Gelasius I (492 to 496). These Popes are sometimes described as Black in today's press because of their African origin. However, the elite in these provinces were descendants of Italian Romans while the population in rural areas were Berbers, who are an olive hue. There is no comparably or historic evidence that the African popes were Black.
Two popes, both ethnically Greek, were born in modern day Turkey. Pope John V (685-686) was from Antioch and Pope John VI was from Ephesus (701-705). John V is sometimes considered "Syrian" due to Antioch's location in Byzantine Syria.
Four popes were born in "Syria", modern-day Syria and maybe Lebanon. These are Popes Anicetus (150 to 167), Sisinnius (708), Constantine (708-715), and Gregory III (731-741). Anicetus was born in modern day Homs, site of heavy fighting in the on-going civil war, while the other three were born in newly Muslim conquered Syria. This shows that Christian intellectual thought and leadership were not crushed right away by the new Muslim rulers.
Two popes were born in modern day Israel, depending on who one asks. Saint Peter, the first Pope, was born in the village of Bethsaida along the Sea of Galilee while Pope Theodore I (642-649) was an ethnic Greek from Jerusalem. However, Bethsaida is east of the Jordan River in the Golan Heights region. This is Israel or Syria on depending one's perspective. Meanwhile, the historic part of Jerusalem where Pope Theodore I was from is mostly likely in the part of the city east of the 1949 cease fire line and therefore either Israel or the West Bank.
So of the eleven popes born outside Europe, at least two were of ethnically non-European origin: Peter (Jewish) and Constantine (Assyrian). Up to three more, the Africans, may have been Berber. So between 0.75% to 1.88% of all Popes were of non-European ethnicity.
Some of these Popes played major roles while pontiff. Pope Theodore I worked hard and proved Roman supremacy over the Emperor and Patriarch in Constantinople. Meanwhile Pope Victor I was the pope who changed the language of the Roman Church from Greek to Latin. Without his change traditionalist Catholics would be lamenting the loss of Greek in today's liturgies.
Soon the Vatican will announce there is a new Pope. No one yet knows who that person will be and where they will be from. However, now you have a better understanding of the history of non-European popes.

Our team is pleased to offer a range of outpatient services. For many individuals with eating disorders outpatient treatment is an accessible and effective form of treatment on its own that does not require individuals to attend more intensive forms of treatment. Our outpatient services focus on providing individual outpatient treatment to individuals with anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and otherwise specified feeding or eating disorders. We also offer group based treatment to individuals with binge eating disorder.

WICKHAM v MAGISTRATE, STELLENBOSCH AND OTHERS 2016 (1) SACR 273 (WCC)
Sentence — Victim participation — Plea and sentence agreement — Effect of s 105A of Criminal Procedure Act — Provision peremptory subject to proviso that it was reasonable to afford complainant opportunity to make representations — Decision reviewable under Promotion of Administrative Justice Act 3 of 2000 — Proper time to bring application for review was prior to contents of agreement being disclosed to court, thereafter victim no longer active participant in proceedings.
The applicant applied for the review of the conviction and sentence of the fourth respondent in a magistrates' court. The application was brought on the grounds that the second respondent, the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), had improperly entered into a plea and sentence agreement with the fourth respondent. The latter had been charged with two counts of culpable homicide in that she had driven her motor vehicle in a negligent manner, causing the death of the applicant's son and another person, the occupants of a vehicle with which her vehicle had collided. The plea and sentence agreement was entered into in terms of s 105A of the Criminal Procedure Act 51 of 1977. The applicant contended that the prosecution had failed to address in the agreement the significantly aggravating factor that the fourth respondent had travelled at an excessive speed; failed to attach the victim impact statement to the agreement after it had previously undertaken to do so; and adopted a view in the proceedings which actively sought to exclude the applicant's participation in the proceedings as a victim. The second respondent contended that the applicant lacked locus standi to bring the application and that the matter could not be subjected to review.
Held, that a prosecutor seeking to enter into a plea and sentence agreement with an accused had to afford the complainant an opportunity to make representations, but only where it was reasonable to do so, and taking into account the circumstances relating to the offence and the interest of the complainant. This provision was thus peremptory, subject to the proviso that it was reasonable to afford the complainant an opportunity to make representations.
Held, further, that, in concluding the agreement, the prosecutor performed an administrative function and, if there were a complaint that in performing such function this had adversely affected the rights of any person, such decision was subject to judicial review in terms of the Promotion of Administrative Justice Act 3 of 2000, s 1.
Held, further, that the basis on which a complainant or victim would have locus standi was limited to the issue whether the prosecutor in s 105A proceedings failed to afford him or her the opportunity to make meaningful representations in terms of that section before entering into the plea agreement. Failure to do so would make the decision of the prosecution to enter into the agreement reviewable at the instance of the complainant or victim only on this limited ground. (Paragraph [62] at 292g/h–i.)
Held, further, that the proper time to bring such an application for review would be prior to the contents of the agreement being disclosed to the court. Once they were disclosed to the court, the complainant or victim would have a very limited right to institute review proceedings. Thereafter he or she was not an active participant in the proceedings, because by that time, in terms of s 105A, he or she would have been given the opportunity to make representations and the court must have been satisfied in terms of ss (4)(a) or (b) that there had been compliance with the provisions of ss (1)(b)(iii). (Paragraph [66] at 293i–294a.)
Held, further, that, on a conspectus of the evidence, the applicant had failed to show that the DPP failed to afford him an opportunity to make representations. In fact the applicant had been afforded all the opportunity he needed to participate, and accordingly the applicant failed to show that he had the necessary locus standi to have the plea and sentence agreement set aside. The application was accordingly dismissed.

A Tender to Be Held for Purchasing South Pars Sea PipelinesSource: www.gulfoilandgas.com 7/7/2012, Location: Asia
Managing Director of Pars Oil and Gas Company says a new tender will be held for purchasing and procurement of a wide range of sour gas pipes required for the new phases in South Pars.
The announcement was made by Mousa Souri, adding: with the progresses made in financing South Pars Development Projects, a new tender will soon be held for purchasing 300 to 400 km. of sour gas transfer pipelines for new phases of South Pars Gas Field.
The tender will focus on supplying 32-inch pipes to be used in gas projects offshore and this category of required items and equipment are projected to be supplied by Iranian manufacturers, he underscored.
"At present, Iranian manufacturers have achieved desirable capability, experience and capacities, and with a timely financing, all orders shall be supplied for the client on due dates as per the time schedule set for commissioning of the projects," Souri said, referring to the capability and potential capacity of Iranian companies in supplying a wide range of commodities for South Pars Development Projects.
Souri acknowledged that the present trend of financing the South Pars Project is satisfactory. "At this time, upon allocating a remarkable part of internal resources of NIOC as well as the new Rial bonds, desirable conditions have been created to expedite the execution of South Pars Joint Gas Field Projects, and we hope that with the support of Iranian contractors and manufacturers, the developmental and production goals in South Pars Common Field will soon be realized," he said.
POGC managing director had previously mentioned the start of producing a new generation of sour gas transfer pipes in the country, based on which he had issued an instruction to the contractors participating in the consortiums responsible for development of South Pars Phases, in which he had banned the contractors in South Pars to buy foreign supplies as there exist similar home-made products.
The new decisions and setting up a new round of tenders and supply of goods by Iranian manufacturers in the year of "Supporting Iranian Labor and Capital", will prevent a high volume of foreign exchange resources to leave the country.

Getting To Know Automated External Defibrillators
Chemical impulses are what power the human heart beats. Heart beats are made possible by specially structured cells that are known as the pacemakers. Pacemaker cells are in cases affected by stress, medication, physical activity or external stimuli. Chemical impulses in the pacemaker cells can be altered by the factors listed above. One of the most well know heart stimuli but often misunderstood is defibrillation.
The the process of defibrillation includes delivering a jolt of electric current to the heart muscles. This depolarizes heart muscles and enable the heart's pacemaker to reset and go on beating naturally. Defibrillation is carried out by gadgets called Automated external defibrillators. There are varying designs and capacities of the defibrillation gadgets.
Movies and TV's shows are nowadays are misleading by showing AED's that are outdated. The the process of defibrillation is usually carried out through the prophylactic nodes. In order for the nodes to control the heart rate, the nodes are attached to a patient's chest. The function of the nodes is to stimulate a shock heart rhythm through an electric shock. TV shows mislead the masses b showing that convulsions occur during defibrillation. Patients experience a small amount of rhythmic contraction of body muscles when taken through a defibrillator. The cardiac rhythm caused by ventricular fibrillation happens when the ventricle quivers
AED gadget can be found today in the market although the various companies manufacturing them. The availability of so many companies offering the gadgets can make it difficult in making a decision of where to start. Many companies offering the Automatic External Resuscitation can easily be found. Several factors should be considered when deciding to purchase as there is a broad range of companies offering gadgets.
Getting Creative With Resources Advice
The online platform provides the necessary information that is needed to make a purchase. On line information contributes to matching the budget with specific requirements of the required resuscitation gadget. One of the considerations to make are the online reviews. An important consideration concerning the AED is the Online review. Care should be taken to avoid looking at only those reviews written by the manufacturers and traders but also those written by the end users of Automatic Electronic defibrillators.
Figuring Out Resources
Amazon, the online giant is one of the sites that can provide a reliable source of user review. A majority of customers provide objective reviews. End users provide insight on the merits and demerits of the AED's they have been using. Manufacturer reviews can be misleading since they provide only the positive side of their defibrillators in order to attract more customers Proper reviews provide both the negative and positive aspect of the particular AED device and also does comparison with other devices.
