Ottawa's sultry underbelly
Anytime I'm traveling and I mention that I'm a sex therapist from Ottawa I brace myself for the inevitable comments. I have heard the quip that "people from Ottawa don't have sex" more times than I can count.
The truth is that those of us who call the Nation's Capital home are far more sexually diverse than it appears on the surface. For example, it turns out that Ottawa has the highest number of burlesque performers per capita than anyplace in North America according to the burlesque directory. Rockalilly burlesque performer Rhapsody Blue says "that with eight active burlesque troops, Ottawa ranks first for our population". I think that people in Ottawa appear to be buttoned down by day. But when civil servants and lobbyists let their hair down, they are often much less prudish than the rest of the country imagines they are. "Ottawa audiences line up to see glitter, boobs, legs and pasties" she says. Burlesque is sometimes referred to as "feminist stripping", or "the art of the tease. And "the majority (80%) of the audiences attending burlesque shows are women", says Kicky Laroux another longtime burlesque performer. Burlesque classes are filled with woman who want to learn how to burlesque dance for their partners privately, finally deal with their body image issues or what Rhapsody calls, "shake their jiggly bits in public."
Ottawa also has a very active fetish community. Called munches or sloshes, there are weekly gatherings to discuss any and all kinks at restaurants around the city. Ottawa residents can be a kinky lot. Think 50 Shades of Grey only in real life. Psychologically it appears that if you make decisions all day, you tend to be quite sexually submissive. So in a full city of politicians, diplomats, and defense contractors who must behave like grownups during the day, many of these power individuals want to be kneeling before black boots by night. While the Washington DC Dominatrix population is larger, Ottawa more than holds its own in the number of women that will role-play with you for money.
We also have our fair share of couples exploring what is commonly called "The Lifestyle" in and around town. The term swinging may be outdated, but the number of people interested in exploring it is significant and on the rise. While indicating your desire to play by leaving your garage door halfway up is an urban myth, exploring sex with your significant other in non-monogamous ways is one of the most common questions I get these days as a sex therapist. Lifestyle play is most popular with a well-educated, affluent and cosmopolitan population and Ottawa definitely fits that description. Trying to discuss enhancing your intimate relationship by including other people without stepping into minefields is a growing area of sex therapy in our city. There are three active places in the area where couples meet (one opened recently in October) and the murmurs about frequent house parties linger about town if you know where to listen.
Finally, there is the amazing number of $125 fines given out every year by the NCC for having outdoor sex in one of the area's green spaces. Ottawa has lots of people who are caught making out by the river on their lunch hours. While I encourage getting outside to frolic, I don't suggest doing it where there are people walking around. NCC spokesman Jean Wolff said, "while the land is accessible to everyone, some people abuse the privilege."
So next time you get a smirk and comment from your Torontocentric friends about "how Ottawa is the place where the streets roll up at 7 pm", you can tell them with some authority that Ottawa is simply discreetly sexy.

With over 50 TU Costa 5 Rivers Clubs in the country, there are only six club presidents that have the honor of being called a Costa Ambassador. David Muench, President of the CU Fly Fishing Club, is one of those six to have received the honor. The Costa Ambassador program was created as an incentive to inspire the college club presidents to do a great job with their clubs. At the end of each semester Muench sent in a summary of all of the club's activities and programs. As president and Costa Ambassador, he had to help his club organize, everything from organizing fishing and cleanup trips to recruiting and teaching new people to fish.
"It means a lot to me to be nominated as one top ambassadors in the Nation," said Muench. "I've easily put in a similar amount of time into the club as I have my final year of Engineering, I care a lot about the fly fishing club and it's amazing to realize that you're one of the best in the nation. No matter how much work I put in, I keep finding myself wondering if we could have done it better and what we've done wrong. It's just something else to have someone else say you're one of the best in the Country."
As president of the CU club, Muench has helped expand the members, activities and programs they partake in. The group helped participate in the Boulder Flycasters Chapter Youth Night by helping teach kids casting. The club also held two intro to fly fishing classes, and a BBQ club dinner included with every trip.
Muench joined the club in 2014 and became an officer right away. The president before him, Justin West, showed him how a good club president operates and inspired him to take the club to the next level. The club now has over 50 participants and about half them partake in the weekend trips.
The former president also built the foundation in which Muench could grow the club on, "In the year before Justin, the club really consisted of just one fall trip and was completely inactive in the spring semester. Justin and all of the officers last year really put a lot of effort in getting the club's name out there and trying to get people more involved in the club. We started doing weekly tying nights, and tried to run some more trips. We did a lot of networking and really tried to grow our numbers. It was a tough year with poor turnouts, our last trip we had 5 people show up, however it laid the groundwork for this year."
When Muench took over, the club began new focus on recruiting new people who wanted to be apart of it by adding new events and making the meetings less intimidating. "This year we decided to stop trying to convince people to join and focus on making the club fun for those who wanted to be a part of it. I also wanted to put a lot of focus on making the club un-intimidating and welcoming to beginners and intermediate anglers. We ran two intro to fly fishing classes in the fall that were a huge success. The club has grown to over 50 active members this year, we ran four weekend trips with our worst turn out being 18 people and our best being 28. We also put a lot of emphasis into building relationships among the club members, we implemented a big club dinner/BBQ into every trip to try to get people to make friends among the club."
The success of the club doesn't stop there. David is hoping that the new president, Ryan Watson, will take the club even further and continue to expand, as well as have an improved focus on conservation.
Included in expanding the program is working with other college programs. CU and Colorado State University may be rivals on the football field, but on the river, they're all on the same team of river stewardship, "CSU started a club this spring and were hoping to have them tag along on a couple of our trips, and help them out in any way we can. Having another club so nearby creates so many opportunities, from conservation to fun competitions."
Being in the fraternity of a select few Costa Ambassadors, the role doesn't stop after graduation. Muench plans to continue to stay involved with TU and make a difference for Colorado's rivers and trout.
Muench graduated in the Spring of 2016 with a bachelor's degree in engineering from CU Boulder. He plans to move to Denver and stay involved with TU and work with the local chapters and groups in the area.

I created another layout for you this week and was inspired by the rose in the photo so I chose to use a floral die cut from The Cut Shoppe and I also noticed that there were soooooo many sequins in the vase so I put lots on my layout too!
I took a photo of this lovely Hibiscus while I was in Florida this winter and just had to use it on a layout.
I got my paints out and water coloured the floral die cut.
Cardstock: A.C.

National paper prints extracts
Pete Doherty's prison diaries have been printed by a national newspaper.
The Guardian has printed extracts from the diary of the Babyshambles frontman penned while he was on remand in prison.
Doherty writes that he felt "like a freak show" in prison, as other inmates screamed his name "like apes" at his cell door.
The singer mused: "Even life without drugs has gotta be better than this malarkey" and concluded that drugs were "eating away at your money, your love and your life."
The Guardian has stated it did not pay Doherty for the publication and instead made a donation to the Prison Reform Trust.
As previously reported, Babyshambles made a surprise live appearance last night {February 10) at Koko.

Draft Daze
Eleven days ago I finished my first full YA manuscript since 2012, all 64k. Granted, the last three chapters are currently abysmal and the novel is in heavy need of revision, but I FINISHED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Yes, this is how ecstatic I am) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(Phew, megalithic sigh as writer's block finally falls off of my shoulders)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(Too tired for ice cream or even a celebratory Disney movie) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Okay, I'm done with the excessively euphoric punctuation . . .
I'm just very glad to have a working blueprint I can improve upon now. Cinderella's slipper seems so very far away sometimes, but I still believe in fairy tales. Sometimes you just have to walk barefoot in the dark for awhile.

Today is #NationalStressAwareness day and I figured it was pretty fitting to chat with you all about ways I unwind, take a breather, and just relax. I've always been a worrier; to the point where it creates unnecessary stress and anxiety in my life. It's inevitable - whether I'm worried about a comment I made two days ago to a friend or just thinking about my list of things to-do for the following day. I lay in bed at night and think. Maybe it's because I'm more of a creative type and I'm always thinking, writing, etc. I'm an overanayzer. I'm a worrier. And I'm guilty for having anxiety. Phew I said it.
It's something I used to hide behind, pretend I was totally fine, but hey - if I can help one person get over the stigma anxiety has then I've done something right.
. Rewind about a year ago, I wasn't able to sleep. I was stressing out over absolutely nothing and then it happened. I had my first panic attack. Maybe it was the timing of everything, last summer was a little stressful, but nonetheless, I tried everything I could do to kick the anxiety. I'm the type that never wants anything to control my life - and I certainly was not about to let anxiety control me. I had to do something.
These little tips and tricks might not work for you, but they certainly have helped me along the way. Give them a go and let me know in the comments if you've tried any of them and/or if you have any tips up your sleeve:
AM Workouts
Workout, workout, workout. I know it's pretty much a given that working out will help reduce anxiety, however, the real remedy is AM workouts. If you're thinking I absolutely cannot get up early and workout, I get it; I've been there. But bare with me for a second. When you get up early (once you make it a habit, I promise it's not that bad) and get your workout in, you're kick starting your day on a good note. You're absolutely releasing the tension that has been built up and you're completely reenergized to take on your day. It's seriously amazing. The hard part? Getting into that routine of rolling out of bed at 6am or before work / school. Once you conquer that, you'll absolutely love it. I promise.
Me Time Is Major Key
As you all know I'm an ambivert (see: Introvert vs. Extrovert), meaning I absolutely adore my me-time. Whether that means I throw some sweats on and binge watch my latest show or head to a coffee shop to grab an iced coffee - those tiny moments I have for some alone time are just enough to reenergize me and bring me back to life.
To know me, is to know that I'm all about natural remedies. Vitamins, coconut oil, apple cider vinegar, oil pulling -- you name it and I've done it. Then magnesium came along and I knew it was going to be a game changer for my daily routine. If you've ever had sleepy time tea - you've had magnesium. Its benefits include: calms nerves & anxiety, helps with digestion, helps increase energy, relieves muscle aches and spasms, and more. Overall it's a really great addition to your routine, especially if you're prone to anxiety. I usually take 2 if I'm anxious or need a little relaxer before I head to bed. I highly recommend it.
Decaf It Up
If you're an avid coffee drinker, like me, then you know that coffee is always a part of your day. From when I get up in the morning I have a cup as I'm doing my makeup and when I head to work -- I have at least have two more. It's a lot of caffeine, you guys. Honestly, I've been trying to kick the over abundance of caffeine in my life by switching to decaf. Ok, ok, ok - hear me out. I actually like the taste of coffee and I fool myself by switching up my regular K-cups for decaf ones. It really does help with anxiety and still gives me that pseudo 'caffeine' kick. If that's not your cup of tea, try getting the half caff / half decaf K-cups.
Soothing Music
I'm one of those people who always, always, always has to be playing music. Typically, I opt for something that's upbeat, keeps me awake and energized, however, if I'm having a stressful day I stay far away from the upbeat jams, especially in the AM. More often than not, I choose some more soothing and chill music. This is one of my go-to playlists that I love listening to while getting ready for work.
What are some of your go-to tips for stress?

What do design teams need to think about when it comes to ensuring their rationales respond to the changing needs of guests?
The rise in community spaces shows no sign of abating. Co-working, co-living and co-learning is increasing in importance for the hospitality industry and is becoming an integral part of society. Networking is now just a secondary benefit of the sharing economy; the real driver is to build a community.
At ISG, we're noticing that our hospitality customers want their spaces to work harder and become more versatile to accommodate a collaborative environment. One of our current customers is taking co-working and co-living to the next level. The project comprises a hotel and apartments in an up-and-coming area of London. What's different about this space is that the guests of the hotel, as well as the apartment residents and the wider community, will all be able to use the communal spaces.
Creating a sense of community is becoming more and more significant to the hospitality industry, with open-plan areas and comfy spaces for relaxation, work and collaboration getting more common. We are seeing hotel projects in the pipeline that include community spaces, open to residents in the local area and creating social hubs. Customers are sourcing spaces in developing locales, where there is more space and better value for money. The interior design themes are typically modern, edgy and stripped back. The trend for exposed services works well, with the often-industrial nature of the space's surroundings.
It's not just hotels that are embracing co-working. Coffee shops are used by workers on the go for convenience, but they don't always have the appropriate facilities, so now the food and beverage industry is seeing co-working cafés spring up.
Design teams need to take heed of the type of environment that hotels want to emulate and be aware of trends in the market. Right now, less is more. Breakout spaces are being made to work harder, and becoming the norm for communal hospitality areas. Ceilings are being shunned in favour of the exposed services look. It's important to keep on top of these trends to deliver to customer and guest expectations.
Hospitality is reacting to the changes in how we work, live, learn and socialise. With the rise of community, hotel design needs to be open, transparent and inclusive. When delivering a project, we keep the end user in mind. And with the changing nature of hospitality and how people are using and interacting with the spaces, that has never been more important.

Pluto to the Palace
Last year during the pathetic washed out excuse for a British summer, some Japanese students came to stay with us. Keen to show them the best of the British countryside and culture, we headed for nearby Eastnor Castle. It wasn't until we arrived that we realised that Eastnor allowed dogs not only into their grounds, but also into the Castle itself. Since that day, I've started to look online at wherever we want to go out for the day to see if they allow dogs. I've been so surprised at the places that do! If you have a pet dog,…View Post

Day 25 (Wednesday) - Matthew 26:17-19/
Before Good Friday and Holy Saturday and Resurrection Sunday, there was Thursday. We celebrate Easter once a year but as a church, we remember what happened that Thursday at least once a month and some churches remember it every day.
Why? What makes that night different from all the other nights?
On Thursday, Jesus wasn't calming any storms or healing any sick or raising anyone from the dead. He wasn't dying on the cross for all the sins of everyone ever or conquering death once and for all or being seated on a throne, exalted.
No, Thursday wasn't this grand thing. It quiet. It was intimate. It was the calm before the storm. On Thursday, Jesus was in some upstairs room of some unnamed guy, sitting around a table with a small group of friends, eating the same meal they'd eaten year after year, retelling an old story they'd probably heard hundreds of times before.
Like Pastor Matt shared with us two Sundays ago, Jesus and his disciples were celebrating the Passover meal that night. It was and is the holiest of celebrations for Jews, the jewel in the Jewish calendar, a celebration of when God brought the Israelites out from under an oppressive slavery in Egypt. And ever since then, this Passover meal had been a memorial to the Exodus, a reminder of what God had done for them as a people.
Jesus has chosen to enter Jerusalem to die at a strategic time, just as Passover is beginning. It was typical for families to worship God during the Passover together in the home, feasting and celebrating as extravagantly as they could afford.
The aroma of fresh herbs would have encircled in the air at sundown. Unleavened bread would be ceremoniously set. Goblets would have been filled to the brim with good wine. Candles would have flickered next to food roasting on the spit, every element ripe with meaning and tradition. An unblemished lamb would have been sacrificed earlier in the temple for each family or community. And as the family feasted, the patriarch, the father or grandfather, would lead the liturgy of praise and prayer to remember The Story.
It was, after all, a Story worth remembering. Centuries before Jesus, the Jews had lived as slaves in Egypt. Moses pleaded with Pharaoh to let God's people go and when he would not, God sent plagues on a hard-hearted Egypt and finally delivered his people from bondage.
Four cups of wine were passed at Passover and they'd drink to the dregs, each representing a promise of God found in Exodus 6:6-7:
I will free you from the burdens of the Egyptians and deliver you from their bondage I will redeem you with an outstretched arm...and I will take you as my people.
I will free you.
I will deliver you.
I will redeem you.
I will take you as my people.
And year after year, they'd remember the Story of God's deliverance; they would eat the bread and drink the wine and celebrate their freedom. And so, the twelve disciples prepared to celebrate and remember salvation with Jesus. Little did they know that this Passover would be unlike any they'd ever known. Jesus wouldn't retell them an old story that Thursday. He would tell them a new one, the story of the Exodus, their Exodus and ours, from slavery to freedom, from our old selves into our new ones, from death into the best kind of life there is.
"Now when you remember the Exodus, remember me. I'm the main event now. I'm the Exodus now. I'm the end of slavery now and forever."
Once and for all, and for generations since, we've been remembering the same Story but with a new bent - deliverance, not just for Israel, but for the whole world. We, too, have been freed and delivered and redeemed and claimed and that's a Story to remember and anticipate.
Over and over at Passover, God reminded them to have hope in the future because of what he's done in the past. We see these reminders all over Scripture and in the Stories we share of God's deliverance.
"I am the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob..."
"I am the God who brought you out of Egypt..."
"Remember me because I have remembered you..."
I see this reminder all over my own life. I have seen the consequences of sin in my own life, anger and shame and fear. I have been cheated on, rejected, betrayed by friends, and I know I'm not the only one. And yet, I have hope because I have seen God come in over and over to free and deliver and redeem my Story and take me as his own.
And so on Sundays as we take communion, we remember the story of God's deliverance. We eat the bread and drink the wine and celebrate our freedom.
"Do this in remembrance of me..."
We live in a world that is still full of pain and bondage, one that is still being redeemed and restored, that is still being made new. And in the midst of this world, it can be easy to lose hope. It can be easy to feel like we're not making much of a difference, to get caught up in our own hurts and struggles and want to give up. And yet, we have hope when we look around and we remind ourselves of the Story, of what God has done, what God will do, and what God is doing in our midst in the meantime.
And so over and over, when we are tempted to forget, we remind each other of hope by telling and retelling the Story of God. The feast is laid and the candles are lit and a chair has been pulled out for you. There are reminders everywhere, if you're looking for them.
Pastor Brynn Harrington
Today, what stories of God's faithfulness can you remember? How have you experienced God's deliverance in your past? How might that give you hope for the future? Who in your life could use a reminder of God's faithfulness today?
Think through how you have seen God's faithfulness at work in your life and in our church so far this year. Write them down and give God thanks for these reminders today.
As you think through and give thanks for these things, find a stone. A fairly large one. Set it up as the centerpiece for the table you typically eat at. On this stone, with paint or crayons or markers, write the letters "R.G.F.", which stands for "Remember God's Faithfulness." Congratulations. You just created an Ebenezer.
*Join us tomorrow night for our own Passover Seder, 6:30pm at 211 Bridge Street in Salem.
Pastor Aaron Engler
- Num. 15:41.
- Ebenezer or "Eben Ezer" literally means, "Stone of Remembrance."

6 Reasons women support Justin Trudeau
From his push for greater diversity, to his advocacy for First Nations citizens, to his support of clean technologies; Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of Canada has made waves and won supporters since before his election. So it should come as no surprise that the leader of the Liberal Party supports—and is supported by—women. Check out this article from SheKnows listing just a few of the reasons women support Justin Trudeau.
sheknows.com - Image: Chesnot/Getty Images
If you can say anything about Canada's new PM, he certainly has made an impression on women voters. A new survey of over 8,000 Quebecers proves this, as it found that women and young people (aged 18 – 24) were among the biggest fans of Justin Trudeau.
More: Trudeau's response to the question of gender-balance is perfect
The poll found that while 55 percent of Quebecers approved of Trudeau's work so far, that number was higher among women than men — with 58 percent of women reporting that they felt "satisfied" with what Trudeau has accomplished in his first 100 days in office.
And why is Trudeau popular with women? Because he's done the following things:
1. Trudeau is proud to call himself a feminist
I am a feminist. I'm proud to be a feminist. #upfordebate
— Justin Trudeau (@JustinTrudeau) September 21, 2015
Trudeau isn't afraid of the F-word, which no politician should be in 2016. He's called himself a feminist many times, crediting his mother for his feminist education: "My mom raised me to be a feminist," explained Trudeau this fall at an Up For Debate event. "My father raised me — he was a different generation — but he raised me to respect and defend everyone's rights, and I deeply grounded my own identity in that, and I am proud to say that I am a feminist."
Read the rest of the article here. Also check out the SheKnows slideshow introducing the 15 women appointed to Canada's new cabinet. We'll leave you with a video Trudeau posted to Twitter late last month, commemorating the 100-year anniversary of Manitoba women getting the right to vote:
100 years ago today, Manitoba women won the right to vote – the first victory for women's suffrage in this country.https://t.co/HgCybKY3hX

Called to Serve as Christ capital campaign kicks off this weekend
The Called to Serve as Christ campaign is an opportunity for all to play a role in strengthening the Catholic Church in Western Washington. This campaign will focus on raising $100 million to strengthen our priest pension and retirement medical plans, provide support to women religious serving or who have served in the Archdiocese of Seattle, and assist key efforts in our parishes. 24% goes to women religious, 55% to priests, and 15% goes back to parishes. For the two Jesuit parishes in Western Washington, St. Leo and St. Joseph in Seattle, the money for priests will be split equally with 27.5% going to Jesuits West and 27.5% going to the Archdiocese of Seattle.

American Journal of Emergency Medicine. 2017; 35(7):949-952.
Hack D, Huff JS, Curley K, Naunheim R, Ghosh Dastidar S, Prichep LS.
Background: Extremely high accuracy for predicting CT+ traumatic brain injury (TBI) using a quantitative EEG (QEEG) based multivariate classification algorithm was demonstrated in an independent validation trial, in Emergency Department (ED) patients, using an easy to use handheld device. This study compares the predictive power using that algorithm (which includes LOC and amnesia), to the predictive power of LOC alone or LOC plus traumatic amnesia.
Participants: ED patients 18–85 years presenting within 72 h of closed head injury, with GSC 12–15, were study candidates. 680 patients with known absence or presence of LOC were enrolled (145 CT+ and 535 CT− patients). Methods: 5–10 min of eyes closed EEG was acquired using the Ahead 300 handheld device, from frontal and frontotemporal regions. The same classification algorithm methodology was used for both the EEG based and the LOC based algorithms. Predictive power was evaluated using area under the ROC curve (AUC) and odds ratios.
Results: The QEEG based classification algorithm demonstrated significant improvement in predictive power compared with LOC alone, both in improved AUC (83% improvement) and odds ratio (increase from 4.65 to 16.22). Adding RGA and/or PTA to LOC was not improved over LOC alone.
Conclusions: Rapid triage of TBI relies on strong initial predictors. Addition of an electrophysiological based marker was shown to outperform report of LOC alone or LOC plus amnesia, in determining risk of an intra-cranial bleed. In addition, ease of use at point-of-care, non-invasive, and rapid result using such technology suggests significant value added to standard clinical prediction.

SunGate Insurance Agency Blog
As well as physical injuries, car accidents can result in costly vehicle repairs, time of work and increased auto insurance premiums. Understanding the most common types of accident here in Central Florida can help you to change your driving habits and avoid them.
1) Driving too fast.
Studies indicate that as many as one in three car accidents are caused by speeding. Driving faster means you are at increased risk of losing control of your vehicle. Not judging your own speed and that of vehicles around you correctly is a common cause of collisions. Braking distances are extended if you drive faster, and you need to react more quickly if other vehicles slow down or stop.
Allowing a little extra time for your journeys is an easy way of reducing the need to speed to get to your destination. Drivers on business trips are particularly prone to speed to keep up with their daily schedules.
2) Lack of experience.
Younger drivers often complain about the high cost of auto insurance. Unfortunately there is strong evidence that a lack of experience leads to accidents, and this is why insurance companies charge higher premiums for young drivers. Like most skills, driving improves with experience. There's no substitute for developing an awareness of what happens on the road and how to deal with different situations safely.
3) Drunk driving.
In spite of decades of campaigns to highlight the dangers of drinking alcohol and driving, over a million people are arrested for it every year in the United States. Even small amounts of alcohol can slow down reactions and impair driving ability, and it's totally irresponsible to risk drinking before you get behind the wheel. Avoid temptation by booking a taxi or making other travel plans if you know you're going to have a drink. If you believe someone you know is planning to drive after drinking, try to take their keys away.
4) Careless driving.
This is one of the hardest reasons to understand. Tailgating and aggressive behaviour on the road leads to thousands of collisions and injuries every year. Using cell phones while driving can increase the risk of accidents by as much as four times. Other distractions include eating, smoking and checking maps while driving.
5) Not wearing seat belts.
In spite of all the evidence about how they can reduce injuries in accidents on the road, millions of adults still don't wear seat belts. Combined with air bags and other safety features, seat belts can dramatically increase the chances of surviving even very severe accidents. Teenagers should be reminded about the need to wear seat belts so that it becomes a habit for life. Even short journeys carry the risk of road accidents, so seat belts should be work at all times.
6) Equipment failure.
It's essential that you keep your vehicle in good working order and have regular checks for faults. Regular servicing and repairs are positive steps towards reducing the risk of accidents. Failure of brakes or steering systems and worn out tires can all lead to serious problems.

This is definitely a miscellaneous topic; maybe a bit odd to be mentioning it after covering so much other ground in tea I didn't bring up here (like doing public tastings over the last few months).
I like the idea of exploring local tea culture in different places, but even related to vacationing somewhere contact with that is limited. You see some shops or cafes, notice what sells there and in grocery stores, and maybe talk with a couple people; that's about it.
Someone brought up the subject of tea culture in Poland in a tea group I admin for, and I noticed unusually high blog visitor traffic from there, so I looked into it. That local enthusiast, a small Warsaw shop owner, and the main Polish vendor provided input about tea history and current culture there for this.

The effects of obesity, smoking, and excessive alcohol intake on healthcare expenditure in a comprehensive medical scheme
S A Craven
Hon. Lecturer in Family Medicine, University of Cape Town, South Africa. E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
To the Editor: In your November 2013 edition, Sturm et al.[1] confirm quantitatively that which we clinicians have known qualitatively for many years, viz. that 'obesity and tobacco use are associated with significantly increased healthcare expenditure'. This, and other research papers on the same issue, prompt me to ask when the Commissioner of Medical Schemes will permit the various medical aids to charge non-smokers, and those of an appropriate body mass index, a lower monthly premium? And when will the Provincial Health Departments charge appropriately higher fees for management of the preventable salvage work?
Why should those who look after themselves subsidise the feckless?

China is placing greater emphasis on IT security, with the market expected to grow considerably over the next few years.
The International Data Corporation (IDC) predicts that the compound growth rate in the market will reach 12.2 per cent between 2012 and 2017.
The report, titled China IT Security Software, Appliance and Services 2013-2017 Forecast and Analysis: The Big Picture, shows that security has picked up while other areas have slowed down.
Compared with developed nations, China's IT security investment last year accounted for only one per cent of the industry – but further, more substantial rises are on the cards.
Pei Wang, research manager responsible for IT security market research at IDC China, said that customer demand for these products is continuously increasing.
"Emerging technologies for the third IT platform including cloud computing, big data, mobile and social network will lead the future growth of the IT security field," he commented.
The expert noted that China entered the era of big data last year and the trend will help to transform network security protection technologies over the next few years.
The IDC believes that big data analysis and security technologies will integrate, therefore transforming the way in which companies carry out a security audit and other processes.
One of the biggest challenges to enterprise security strategies that has been identified in China is the rise in social networks, which create the need for information security management.
Social media increases the risk of information breaches, the IDC said, which means that organisations as well as everyday consumers need to be on their guard.
China's information security technology and product and research development will therefore need to reflect these changes in the digital landscape.
Emphasis will also need to be placed on how China constructs its network security defence systems.

Bhagavdgita 5:4 - Interdependent or Independent
Those paths, karmasanyas and karmayoga
1. Karma Sanyas: Path of renunciation
And, now two verses later in 5:4, he says that there is actually no difference between these two paths. What is Krishna trying to say here?
First in 5:2 he talks about the paths...and there are two main paths. Here in this verse he talks about the end of the path. Both paths lead to the same end. The path is not like a rail road track. It is more like a pyramid or peak of a mountain.
Another point to understand is that non-attachment is part of existence. Krishna emphasizes non attachment because it is existential. It is true nature of existence. We are all interdependent; yet we are all independent and we are all non attached. Interdependec brings us together and creates relationships, duties and responsibilities. Interdepndence keeps non attached.
Whether we follow the path of karma yoga or the path of karma sanyas, we are all inter-dependent and inter-related yet we are all independent and we are all non attached. Knowing this, practicing this, understanding this, living this .....we reach the same end.
We also need to understand that the keyword in either types is "non attachment." No one becomes 'non attached' just by renouncing this world. At the same time any one can become "non attached" even in the middle of the world. Krishna is trying to explain this point here. The end game is to comprehend and know this reality of "non attachment." Once this is known thern there is no distinction between the two; you are neither attached to the world nor you are attached to God. A person on either path knows the same reality; both are just non attached and completely free.

Attachment, detachment and non-attachment
Karma Management: Attachment, Detachment and Non-attachment
We have discussed definition of karma, karma sanyas (giving up of routine mundane actions) and sakam karma (desire driven actions). The one other kind left to discuss is nishkam karma (action without any attachment). It is important to understand attachment, detachment and non-attachment.
Attachment is an acquired phenomenon. A child is not born with attachment. We teach attachment to the child as we develop our attachment to the child as well. The attachment is quite subtle and deep at the same time. As the child grows, he or she becomes part of the parents' and grandparents' existence.
This happens all around us. I used to play tennis. I had a tennis friend circle. Now I have become more of golf player and I now have a golf friend circle. We sometimes go together to Bermuda for a golf vacation, mix together, eat together, play together and bond together. This bonding is nothing but deepening our attachment to each other.

Sakam Karma: Desire driven Actions
Sakam Karma: Desire driven actions.
What it is not:
Many translate sakam karma as 'selfish actions.' I think it is far from the truth. In that respect, Buddha was a selfish man; he left his wife and children for selfish interests. Sakam karma is not necessarily bad

Stress sucks. Unfortunately for us, stress just becomes an added worry in our lives on top of chores, work, kids, money, and that guy who is "running" the White House. Not only can this long-term stress keep us up at night, it can also result in a whole bunch of health complications. We all know that the simple "just relax" doesn't really give us much to work with, so here are 3 awesome ways to de-stress and reboot.
One of the most popular methods people use to deal with stress is exercise. It might be difficult to drag yourself into the gym after a long, stressful day, but after a great workout, you're sure to leave feeling more clarity and calm. I can definitely attest to how there's a correlation that I often see between my general wellness and exercise routine. I often see that as I reduce my exercise frequency, I start to feel low-energy and low-motivation.
How to start: if exercise isn't something that you already have regularly incorporated in your life, focus on starting small. Make a commitment to just step outside 2-3 times a week and go for a light jog or even a walk around the block. Even a small adjustment like that can prove to have positive results on your health. The key here is always consistency. Avoid trying to dive headfirst into a 5-day-per-week workout routine meant for intermediate or advanced athletes – that's almost a guaranteed way to burn out and add additional stressors to your life.
This one might seem silly at first, but it works wonders. Gratitude is actually something that I recently took on as a practice in my own life. A couple ways to approach this would be through meditation, routine thoughts, or a daily journal – like the one I use every morning and evening.
I can't really place a finger on how or why being grateful is able to relieve you of stress, but it's been incredibly effective for me so far. One of the ways that I like to think about it is that all these problems that you have in your life are really nonsense compared to the amazing blessings that we all have been bestowed upon each and every one of us.
How to start: grab a journal or just a notebook for you to document your grateful thoughts in. I like to do this first thing in the morning when I get out of bed. Make a list (my journal asks for 3) and write down all the things that you might be grateful for that day. The idea here is to really allow your positivity shine through. A couple things that I'm regularly grateful for include:
- The beautiful California weather
- An abundance of opportunity
- Access to delicious food
- A loving and supportive relationship
Reach out to society
This one is so important, I can't emphasize it enough. We've all had low points in our lives, times when we feel that we've hit rock bottom. I know that personally, for myself in the past, I have the tendency to isolate myself from society when I hit stressful times in my life. Doing that is the equivalent of drowning myself in an echo-chamber of shitty thoughts and negative energy. It might not seem like something that you want to approach right away, but just trying to reach out to someone and talking about it can really help lift you up.
As I started to embrace socializing with more and more people, I've come to the conclusion that most people out there are amazing human beings who can share so much compassion and acceptance towards one another. To be quite honest, it's not really an experience I know how to explain, but to those who struggle with reaching out to others, I urge you to at least try – the outcome is a truly beautiful experience in the long run.
If overwhelming stress is something that you deal with on a daily basis, take a moment to step back and see if you can apply any of these methods to your own situation. Remember, as always, change takes time and effort, but the results of change can really impact your life beyond words. Comment below or on Facebook and let me know what you do to help deal with your stress!

If you are planning to travel around Australia in a motorhome or with a caravan, you can greatly reduce the cost of your experience by making sure you are as self-sufficient as possible.
Being self-sufficient when travelling around Australia means you can carry plenty of drinking waters, have enough refrigeration, enough battery power to run your devices and enough solar power to keep your batteries well charged.
Being self-sufficient means you can stay in low-cost and no-cost camping sites. This will save you a lot of money, especially if you are planning a longer distance trip. While there are numerous camping sites and camping grounds available, it is quite easy to spend a lot of money to cover camping fees for a week at a time. We've even known some people to pay nearly the same amount as renting a house for the family. Even if a camping site only costs $50 per night per family, you can see that those costs will build up fast.
There is no right or wrong way to plan your trip around Australia. However, if you are going for the long term, I think it is only wise to invest in some essential equipment that will allow you to camp anywhere you like. This means you have the option to greatly reduce costs and still live with the comforts we all want after a while on the road.
Most families we have met on the highways do a combination of both but obviously, those who are set up like us, tend to only stop in at camping sites when they are making a pitstop. For example, when we want to do a bunch of washing and a thorough cleanout, we will stay at a fully powered campsite. The rest of the time we camp without paying fees because we are pretty much self-sufficient with our 4WD and caravan setup.
These are the basics we have set up and we consider ourselves pretty much self-sufficient:
• 3 X 100Ah batteries in the caravan
• 1 X portable toilet (outside of our caravan)
• 1 X portable shower and ensuite (outside of our caravan)
• 1 X 200w solar panels for the caravan
• 1 X 120 litre fridge for the caravan
• 1 X 100 litre water tank in the caravan with two spare jerry cans
• 1 X 60w solar panel for the 4WD
• 1 X additional deep cycle battery for our 4WD
• 1 X long range fuel tank for our 4WD
• 1 X 800 watt generator
This gives us the ability to go and stay just about anywhere we want with 2 kids. Some of these additions are a little expensive at the beginning but you will soon save them back by being able to reduce the cost of camping sites because you are self-sufficient like us.

Australia Carolyn Anderson found her hair too long for her Canadian wedding
Makeover: A fresh new look for a visitor to Canada
Carolyn Anderson was in Canada for her wedding and wanted to freshen up her hair style before going home to Australia.
Carolyn has fine and naturally wavy hair. The 34-year-old had been growing it out for the wedding and was finding the length too long and the hair style shapeless.
I shampooed her hair using KMS Tame Frizz — Shampoo and Conditioner, for frizz reduction and manageability. I sectioned her hair into a central vertical parting and eliminated three inches from her length, creating a face framing layer shape. I incorporated long layers through the back for added shape and fullness, and a side sweeping fringe.
Before styling, I applied one pump of KMS ThermaShape — Straightening Crème, to take hair from curly to smooth, and added an egg size amount of KMS Add Volume — Styling Foam for long lasting body and style support. I blow dried her hair with a medium round brush then used a curling iron to create soft curls.
We wanted to create an illuminated glow to her complexion and to do so, we used a medium coverage foundation mixed with a little pump of illuminating cream. We contoured her face with bronzing powder and enhanced her cheeks with a pink blush. Carolyn has beautiful hazel-brown eyes and to make them pop, we contoured and highlighted them with shades of brown, burgundy and champagne. To define her eye, we thinly line with black eyeliner and coated her lashes with black mascara. On her lips, we opted for a long wearing formula in a nude-pink.
Makeup Must-haves for this look:
Primer: Make Up For Ever Step 1 Corrective Primer in Green
Even out the complexion with Foundation: Make Up For Ever Ultra HD Foundation in Y225 mixed with Burberry Fresh Glow Nude Radiance #1.
Concealer to brighten the eyes: Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage 3
Brow: Anastasia Dipbrow in Ebony
Bronzer: NARS Bronzer in Laguna
Eyeshadow: MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot in "Groundwork" with Anastasia Modern Renaissance Palette in Cypress Umber and Vermeer
Eyeliner: Stila Smudge Pot
Mascara: L'Oreal Voluminous
Blush: MAC Peony Pink
Lip colour: Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick in Perla

According to the Congressional Research Service (CRS) Report for Congress, from the 9-11 attacks to date, the cost of the "War on Terror" has been US$863 billion, and growing. Since 1993 Greg Mortenson, an American mountaineer from Minnesota, has among other things, single-handedly built 55 schools for impoverished children in the forbidden terrain that gave birth to the Taliban. Which approach do you feel is producing the best outcomes in making the world a safer place, the War on Terror or Greg? To us the answer is simple, the latter.
We recommend that you read Three Cups of Tea and find out more about this amazing American and the power of the humanitarian spirit. And imagine what Greg could have achieved with the squandered US$863 billion! CxO and this newsletter are about Leadership, not necessarily about humanitarian stories, although we do draw courage from the human spirit of benevolence. However, this example patently demonstrates the difference between a CEO and a Leader. There are many approaches towards a desired outcome, and we believe that the only approach that achieves sustainable and great outcomes is Leadership (that emanate from our Essence). All the others come from ego and achieve a variety of short-to-medium-term good outcomes, and in some cases long-term, damaging, often irreparable outcomes. In our example above we see, one one side, the ego of a nation and its president and on the other, an American with a different approach, operating from his Essence, the stuff of true Leadership.
Ego is a difficult armour to wear
Ego is conditional and conditioned. It operates within certain parameters of expectation. It deals with image, consistency, expectations, biases, learnt behaviours, conformity, protection, defences, pride, routine, and much more. Paradoxically, it also feels safe for the carrier as it is built around known behaviours, survival instincts, and defence mechanisms.
Essence, however, is pure. It is about passion, purpose and the authenticity of the objective/s. Essence takes courage. It often goes against norms, at times it demonstrates unpredictable behaviour, and it is often blocked, rejected, and derailed.
However, these are not times for easy options. In our opinion the current global financial meltdown was brought about by ego and greed. It takes true Leaders and true Leadership to take us to the next stage of human evolution. The CEOs who led us to this place will not cut it for the next stage. Much discussion in our internal workshops, and much media scrutiny, has revolved around what to do to punish the CEOs and board members who have brought the world to this place and how they should repay society for their failings and the treacherous conditions in which we find ourselves. Whilst this would soothe the human desire for revenge, it might not be the right solution for achieving the next stage of human growth, as the "War on Terror" has so clearly demonstrated.
Most of these executives did what they thought was be st, and yes, some are possibly corrupt. However, these corrupt individuals are likely few in the scheme of things and need to be dealt with directly. We are going to have to trust that these governments that are handing out trillions of dollars hand-over-fist will take appropriate action to discipline them, but let's not toss the baby out with the bathwater. Surely they are not all crooked. Surely most were doing their best and have had a notably successful track record. Still, their best will not cut it any more unless they too learn to give heed to their Essence and change from being just CEOs to being great Leaders. The lesson from Greg Mortenson is clear, take a compassionate approach to adversity. This takes true courage and comes from our essence, which at its core is pure, exploratory, growth-attuned, astoundingly innovative, and frankly, exhilarating, for when things get to their worst and humankind seems to have lost everything, great Leaders seem to emerge and take humanity to its next stage of evolution.

Suboxone is a highly addictive prescription medicine that is most often used to treat addictions to opioids or narcotic pain relievers. Some doctors prescribe the drug as a pain relief medication, and it should only be taken as prescribed or as part of a comprehensive treatment plan that also includes counseling.
Suboxone is a commonly prescribed medication due to the opioid crisis in the United States. In 2016, around 2.1 million people reported that they either misused or were dependent on opioids, such as heroin, or prescription painkillers. However, Suboxone is often misused in the same way opioids are because they act in a similar way with the brain.
Suboxone contains two active ingredients, buprenorphine and naloxone. The former ingredient is the primary active ingredient and is considered a partial agonist, which means it can attach to the same brain receptors as other opioids and reduce their effects by blocking them from those receptors. The latter ingredient helps prevent the misuse of Suboxone by causing withdrawal signs and symptoms upon taking the drug. While the high experienced from opioids does not translate to Suboxone, the brain still believes it's an opioid and reacts in a similar manner. This is why many doctors prescribe the drug to treat for opioid addiction as it is used to mitigate withdrawal symptoms.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Suboxone in 2002 for the sole purpose of treating opioid addiction. First sold under the name Subutex, a generic version of the drug was available by 2009. Since its release, Suboxone has been released to the public under multiple brand names:
- Suboxone Film
- Buprenex
- Cizdol
- Temgesic
- Norspan
- Butrans
- Zubsolv
- Bunavail
- Probuphine
Suboxone might be legal with a prescription and might be used for opioid addiction treatment, but it's still a harmful substance if misused and it can ruin someone's life. If you or a loved one struggle with an addiction to Suboxone, either with or without a prescription, help is available. The Recovery Village has treatment centers located throughout the country and can provide assistance for those suffering from Suboxone addiction.
- Drowsiness
- Nausea
- Confusion
- Respiratory depression
- Watery eyes
- Diarrhea
- Fever
- Insomnia
- Sweating
- Slurred speech
- Memory issues
- Apathy
These are all signs that someone could be addicted to Suboxone and needs rehabilitation. Instead of attempting an at-home detoxification method, which many people try, seeking a reputable treatment center is the safest manner to begin a rehab from Suboxone addiction.
- Anxiety
- Body aches
- Concentration problems
- Confusion
- Cravings
- Depersonalization
- Depression or mood swings
- Diarrhea
- Dizziness
- Fatigue
- Fear of going crazy
- Headaches
- Insomnia or sleepiness
- Irritability
- Nausea
- Pain
- Restlessness
Detoxification largely involves the physical aspect of recovering from drug addiction; a person's body is stabilized, the drug is removed from the system, and many of the withdrawal symptoms come and go. Once this final stage ends and withdrawal symptoms lessen in severity, most patients move on to residential treatment, which involves a greater focus on the psychological aspect of recovery.
- Mental health issues such as anxiety, panic attacks or personality disorders
- Eating disorders
- Addiction to other harmful substances
Successful residential treatment will help clients develop the recovery skills to pursue a healthier life once rehabilitation ends. Once this stage concludes, clients progress to the next level of care that is appropriate to their personalized plan.
Outpatient rehabilitation allows clients to live at home and participate in a Suboxone outpatient program. This type of program provides people with more freedom during their treatment and gives clients the ability to maintain a job and resume day-to-day responsibilities at home and with family or friends. While this step usually comes once Suboxone inpatient rehabilitation ends, some clients elect to jump from detoxification to outpatient rehab. While this is not recommended for most people undergoing Suboxone rehabilitation, skipping inpatient rehab can be effective for some patients, depending on their dosage level before entering rehab and whether they have completed a rehabilitation program before.
In outpatient drug rehab, clients can participate in mental health counseling, 12-step programming, family and group therapy, and more. Outpatient participants can learn how to cope with environmental triggers as they arise in their daily lives and manage co-occurring disorders. People who are just starting outpatient care might need daily sessions with a therapist or clinical staff, while clients who are further along in recovery or with less-severe substance use disorders can be successful with a weekly or twice-weekly Suboxone outpatient program.
Outpatient programs usually last anywhere from one month to three months, as this is the window of time in which clients typically experience intense cravings and psychological withdrawal symptoms and are at risk of recurring use. The length of time a client spends in outpatient rehabilitation depends on their mental stability, physical health and their progress in recovery during earlier stages. The Recovery Village offers outpatient rehabilitation throughout the country as part of its comprehensive recovery plans for clients. During a Suboxone outpatient program, clients can participate in:
- One-on-one counseling
- Medication management for lingering withdrawal symptoms, cravings or co-occurring disorders
- Group and family therapy sessions
- Nutritional coaching
- Recreational therapy
- Sober living housing, if needed
The level of care provided during outpatient rehabilitation is typically the least intense and often one of the last parts of a person's recovery. By this time, a person's health has improved and the body no longer physically relies on the drug. For each client, outpatient programs offer the opportunity to transition back to a normalized life while continuing to use the safety net of regular medical help and counseling.
Since outpatient rehabilitation does not involve monitored residence, clients need a high amount of dedication to their recovery and be able to handle the freedom that comes from living independently from medical care. If clients are able to return to their regular daily routines and continue a healthy lifestyle free from Suboxone, there are many benefits to an outpatient rehab program:
- Less commitment: On average, this stage requires less time and money.
- Greater privacy: Clients will not have to disclose to their employers or friends that they are receiving treatment.
- Greater autonomy: Clients hold themselves accountable to continue their recovery but can seek medical support when needed.
- Collective support: Individual counseling, along with group and family therapy options, help clients build a network of supporters and remain strong during rehabilitation.
Suboxone addiction and rehabilitation can include many obstacles, including the freedom associated to outpatient care. However, a safe and effective detoxification method and properly managing withdrawal symptoms can set the foundation for future success in recovery. Undergoing an inpatient treatment plan before progressing to outpatient also continues to build healthier habits and choices before granting clients that autonomy.
Addiction to any drug, including Suboxone, is a heavy burden to carry. However, help is available and recovery from addiction is possible. Seeking a medical facility such as The Recovery Village can be the important step you or your loved one needs to succeed in living without harmful substances. Suboxone addiction is common in the United States — especially considering it's often prescribed and easy to acquire — but The Recovery Village has a trained medical staff with the knowledge and skills to help clients build the framework for a healthier life.
Call The Recovery Village as soon as possible if you or a loved one is in need of Suboxone addiction treatment. An associate will assist you in finding the appropriate rehabilitation center and help you build a program that fits your needs.

Prophylactic Oophorectomy Associated with Reduced Mortality and Ovarian Cancer in Women with BRCA Mutations
DynaMed Weekly Update - Volume 5, Issue 37
The prevalence of BRCA1 or BRCA 2 mutations is estimated at about 0.2%-0.33% of the population, but these mutations account for 5%-10% of breast cancers and 10%-15% of ovarian cancers among white women in the United States. Lifetime risks may be as high as 85% for breast cancer and 26% for ovarian cancer for affected women. Preventive options for these women include prophylactic surgery, chemoprevention, and regular screening.
A recent observational study assessed the efficacy of prophylactic salpingo-oophorectomy to reduce the risks of breast and ovarian cancer. In a cohort of 2,482 women with BRCA mutations identified from 1974-2008 (followed for 6 months to 27 years), 40% had prophylactic salpingo-oophorectomies. In an analysis of the entire cohort, oophorectomy was associated with significant reductions in all-cause mortality (3.1% vs. 9.8%), ovarian cancer-specific mortality (0.4% vs. 2.5%), and breast cancer-specific mortality (2.1% vs. 5.7%) (level 2 [mid-level] evidence). Among women with no previous breast cancer, oophorectomy was associated with significantly reduced incidence of ovarian cancer (1.3% vs. 5.8%) and breast cancer (11.6% vs. 21.6%). In women with previous breast cancer, oophorectomy was associated with reductions in all-cause mortality (4.2% vs. 16%) and incidence of ovarian cancer (1% vs. 6%) (JAMA 2010 Sep 1;304(9):967).
A new statement from the Society of Gynecologic Oncologists Clinical Practice Committee recommends bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy for women at high risk of ovarian cancer based on family history and presence of BRCA 1 or BRCA 2 mutations after childbearing is complete (Obstet Gynecol 2010 Sep;116(3):733).

The Theology of Cardinal Walter Kasper
Speaking Truth in Love
Edited by Kristin M. Colberg and Robert A. Krieg
Forlaget Liturgical Press skriver om den:
Cardinal Walter Kasper's contributions to theology, ecumenism, Jewish-Christian relations, and the pastoral life of the church have shaped Catholicism in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Acknowledging this, Pope Francis has praised Kasper's "profound and serene" theology.
In The Theology of Cardinal Walter Kasper: Speaking Truth in Love, leading theologians from across the United States and Canada explore the full scope of Kasper's thought on topics such as the character of ecumenical and interreligious dialogue, Christology, theological method, and the nature of the church-world relationship. Kasper himself presents four previously unpublished texts: on the interpretation of Vatican II, on forgiveness, on Christian hope, and on the approach to theology today.
This volume originated at a conference, at which Kasper was an active participant, in honor of his eightieth birthday. It provides an introduction to Kasper's thought and also an overview of major issues in contemporary Catholic theology.
Kristin M. Colberg is assistant professor of theology at Saint John's University and the College of Saint Benedict. She received her doctorate at the University of Notre Dame and is the author of several articles on the Second Vatican Council that have appeared in journals such as The Heythrop Journal, Horizons, and Missiology. She serves as a member of the Catholic-Reformed dialogue in the United States and has known Cardinal Kasper since 2003.
Robert A. Krieg received his doctorate from the University of Notre Dame in 1976 and has taught there since 1977. He is the author of several books, including Treasure in the Field: Salvation in the Bible and in Our Lives (Liturgical Press, 2013). Krieg has published articles in America, Comment, Commonweal, The Heythrop Journal, The Irish Theological Quarterly, The Journal of Religious Thought, Theologische Quartalschrift, Theological Studies, and Worship. He has known Cardinal Kasper since 1980.

Walter Kasper is a gentle giant within the Catholic community, within ecumenical circles, and within the Catholic-Jewish dialogue. What is unique about this Festschrift is the ordering of the essays, the consistently high standard of the contributions, and the constructive engagement with the work of Kasper over a period of fifty years. This collection reads like a mini-summa of what is best in Catholic theology. We are indebted to the careful work of the editors in putting together this handsome volume.
Dermot A. Lane, Mater Dei Institute of Education, Dublin City University, Ireland
The Theology of Cardinal Walter Kasper is an exceptional volume from a remarkable range of leading scholars. As an introduction to a man who has served the church in so many capacities, this overview offers a unique vista on Catholicism over the span of Kasper's career through his writing in diverse areas of systematic theology. We see the mastery of Kasper through the lens of his scholarly admirers who together make a compelling case for the significance of the cardinal for his church and for its future.
Jeannine Hill Fletcher, Fordham University
For much of the twentieth century Walter Kasper was overshadowed by theological greats such as Rahner, Schillebeeckx, von Balthasar and Lonergan. Now is his time to emerge from the shadows to be revealed as a first class theologian and exemplary churchman. This volume with contributions from leading Christian and Jewish theologians, and recent essays by Kasper himself, reveal the depth of his contribution both to theology and to the life of the Church in the modern age.
Neil Ormerod, Professor of Theology, Australian Catholic University
