What Marshall ruled, in response to Burr's motion to suppress much of the evidence in the case, was that only the events on Blennerhassett's Island really mattered, since only there could any "overt act" be detected that might come within shouting distance of even preparing to levy war. Marshall had interpreted the treason provision more briefly a few months earlier, in a Supreme Court case involving two of Burr's confederates, and the prosecution saw in his earlier opinion an opening to argue for a limited form of "constructive treason," so that a conviction could be obtained for the conspiracy preparatory to any acts of war.

The letter was published for the first time in Italian in March, as part of a new book by Fr. Paweł Stanisław Gałuszka, titled Karol Wojtyła and Humanae Vitae. The book examines the contribution that Karol Wojtyła and the Polish bishops made to the editing and reception of Humanae Vitae when Wojtyła was Archbishop of Krakow.
The book contains several never-before-published documents, including the letter Cardinal Wojtyła sent to Paul VI in 1969, after numerous episcopates voiced their opposition to Humanae Vitae. It was launched at the Lateran University in Rome, with key Vatican figures in attendance.
Msgr. Melina, a highly regarded moral theologian and successor to now-deceased Cardinal Carlo Caffarra as president of the John Paul II Institute, wrote the preface to Gałuszka's book.
First, that moral law and therefore also the norm of Humanae vitae [the ban on contraception] is the expression of a truth about good and not the arbitrary imposition of a legislator, so that the Church herself has no power to change it (against nominalistic legalism); second, that Humanae Vitae is an infallible and irrevocable teaching, by universal ordinary Magisterium, even if not by a solemn defining act (ex cathedra)"; and third, that Humanae Vitae is not a matter of advice, entrusted to the interpretation of conscience, but of a binding doctrinal teaching.
Today's publication in English of Cardinal Wojtyła's 1969 letter to Paul VI comes as new facts emerge about the origins of Humanae Vitae. The recent findings, contained in a new book, The birth of an Encyclical. Humanae Vitae in the light of the Vatican Archives, are based on a "secret" Vatican commission's investigation of archived documents relating to the preparatory work of the encyclical.
Its author, Monsignor Gilfredo Marengo, is a member of the commission appointed by Pope Francis.
The Italian moral theologian said there are "three important facts" that Marengo has reported but to which he does not attribute sufficient significance. First, that Paul VI sent the initial draft of what eventually became Humanae vitae (a draft called De nascendae prolis) to only two prelates: one was Cardinal Felici and the other, Cardinal Wojtyła (Marengo, 99-ff).
Secondly, that in the documentation sent to Paul VI, as a dossier for final editing, in addition to the contribution of Cardinal Wojtyla there was also the Krakow memorandum (Merengo, 101), to which Wojtyła refers in his letter.
"These three essential facts," reported by Marengo, "contradict his interpretation that Wojtyła had little influence on the preparation of the encyclical," Melina said.
Today, on this 50th anniversary of Humanae vitae, here below we publish in full, for the first time in English, Cardinal Wojtyła's letter to Pope Paul VI.
Editor's note: A PDF of the letter is available here. Please be sure to credit LifeSiteNews and Diane Montagna for the translation.
With this letter, I again wish to thank Your Holiness for the encyclical Humanae vitae, whose promulgation in July 1968 concluded a period dedicated to the in-depth study of the theme of the transmission of life in marriage, in light of the principles of Christian morality. During this period, the Church, according to the instructions expressed by her Supreme Master and Shepherd, has been careful not to question this ethical principle, and has continued to proclaim it in this matter. She has also endeavored to gain a deeper understanding of its meaning, raison d'être and possibilities of application in the face of the current state of human science, particularly in the fields of contemporary physiology, psychology and demography.
The moral doctrine of the encyclical Humanae vitae was accepted, after its publication, by all the Christian faithful and especially by the Catholic episcopate with great conviction and profound gratitude. Yet, in some areas, the formulation of a clear doctrine in this very important area of human morality has come up against already existing doubts about the principle itself, as well as some different practices present in conjugal life and in pastoral life. There are theologians, including some often quoted by the Church, who still today make themselves the spokesmen of these doubts. Advertising and the means of social communication amplify their circulation and sow confusion in pastoral ministry. Such disorientation creeps in both among the laity — particularly in some circles — and among the priests who are pastors of souls and confessors, despite clear statements by the Holy See and local bishops on this matter. The confusion regards not only the correct discernment of the moral norms contained in the encyclical Humanae vitae and of their binding character, but also the whole of the Christian life. In fact, challenging the moral doctrine of the Church in a field as important as that dealt with by the encyclical can be an occasion that gives rise to a much broader process of challenging other elements of the Christian faith and practices.
Therefore, even in societies where faith and moral conscience are such that the Holy Father's directives are willingly accepted, great difficulties arise due to interpretations of the encyclical Humanae vitae that differ from those of the Pope. Thanks to means of social communication, people from every corner of the world receive information immediately. In particular, statements of some episcopates are used, which are considered different from the teaching of the encyclical, especially with regard to practical solutions.
In this situation, it seems to be absolutely necessary that the Holy See contemplate a series of provisions aimed at helping priests and the laity to resolve these difficulties. One could consider drafting a very detailed instruction to priests engaged in ministry — especially confessors, catechists and preachers. This instruction, moreover, should contain very precise positions regarding several theological formulations, especially theological-moral ones, whose tenor is in clear disagreement with the teaching of Christ transmitted by the Church.
In doing so, one could clarify the Church's position with respect to certain theological opinions, whose authors — and their followers — believe that the absence of such a clarification confirms their theses. In particular, it would be necessary to clarify the issue of the obligation and infallibility of the ordinary magisterium of the Popes, and to point out the dependence of the Catholic theologian on the authority of the magisterium of the Church.
In this context, I would like to enclose with this letter several more detailed proposals aimed at giving structure to the content of the Pastoral Instruction in question. These proposals were drawn up by the group of theologians and priests in Krakow who, before the publication of the encyclical Humanae vitae, had already prepared a long memorandum on the problems the encyclical would have to address. I sent this memorandum to the Holy See in February 1968. At present, the same group of theologians and priests — including one of the auxiliary bishops of Krakow — has prepared the proposals that I am submitting to Your Holiness. These proposals represent only a general schema. They do not constitute the actual text of the instruction, but indicate the issues that, in our humble opinion, should be addressed.
The first part of the instruction should contain the statements of Bishops and Episcopates published on the occasion of the encyclical Humanae vitae. This is an immense amount of material, so we need to find the best way to publish it, if we do so in the Instruction in question. Publishing the episcopal statements along with the proposed instruction would show the close link between the teaching of the Holy Father in the encyclical and the teaching of the college of Bishops, which is the same. After the Second Vatican Council, proof of collegiality has acquired unprecedented positive value.

In principle, these statements accept the authority of the teaching power of the Pope as well as the entire content of his encyclical. At the same time, however, they seek to take into account the reactions of the laity and priests, that the demands of Christian morality formulated in the encyclical Humanae vitae are "concerning." This attitude certainly comes from an authentically pastoral anxiety. It is also the manifestation of a psychology of dialogue, which makes us attentive to the thoughts and objections of our interlocutors and urges us to follow them to the limit of what is possible. On the other hand, the situation in recent years, in which the pastoral practice of some regions considered contraception morally acceptable, undoubtedly exerts its influence. We therefore understand the origin of the "concern" or even "surprise" caused by the demands of conjugal morality recalled in the encyclical Humanae vitae. The authors of the aforementioned statements have made themselves the spokesmen for this concern.
The reason for these statements is to be found, in most cases, in the concern deriving from the comparison between the moral conscience of the laity and priests and the real demands of Christian morality dealt with in the encyclical. One can observe that the Authors of these documents intend, on the one hand, to maintain the submission of the faithful to the teaching of the Pope, and on the other, to safeguard at all costs the union of the faithful with the Church, seeking to understand their situation and to apply the principles of Christian morality in such a way as to soothe their consciences without, however, having to change the behavior maintained up to now.
The instruction we are proposing cannot, of course, keep silent about the difficulties of the problem. In this regard, the statements of the episcopates cited are a help, as they will allow the Instruction to examine in detail the very heart of these difficulties, whether doctrinal, pastoral or simply moral, although one should not concern oneself only with the difficulties or give them first place: the magisterial character of the encyclical Humanae vitae and of the teaching of the Pope undoubtedly indicate this path. (We wish to emphasize the importance not only of extraordinary teaching but also of the ordinary teaching of the Popes). On the other hand, the reaction of "surprise" and "concern" triggered by the appeal to principles of conjugal morality in the encyclical is far from being the general one. It was, in fact, the reaction only in some circles. Probably, it was able to conceal from the eyes of these Episcopates the reaction of other circles, other groups of laity and priests. These were precisely the groups and circles that welcomed Paul VI's encyclical as the logical expression of Gospel morality, which is naturally very demanding, but which, at the same time, is authentically Christian and authentically human. Many groups have expressed their deep gratitude to the Pope for the teaching contained in the encyclical Humanae vitae.
In these circumstances, we wish to reiterate forcefully that the moral law is founded not on the approval or disapproval of men, groups or human circles, but rather on the objective nature of moral good and evil.
In the light of this conviction, we are now making the following proposals.
The second part of the instruction should contain the doctrine of the Second Vatican Council which, following the First Vatican Council, once again defines the principles of infallibility. It would be necessary simply to cite the Constitution Lumen gentiumIII 25, which states that "This religious submission of mind and will must be shown in a special way to the authentic magisterium of the Roman Pontiff, even when he is not speaking ex cathedra; that is, it must be shown in such a way that his supreme magisterium is acknowledged with reverence, the judgments made by him are sincerely adhered to, according to his manifest mind and will. His mind and will in the matter may be known either from the character of the documents, from his frequent repetition of the same doctrine, or from his manner of speaking." There is also another reason that urges us to take up these texts of Vatican II: the statements of the episcopates in question also refer to this principle (and to the same texts), declaring that they adhere to the encyclical Humanae vitae in a spirit of faith, as it is due to the teaching of the Pope.
The encyclical Humanae vitae is not a solemn document of ex cathedra teaching; therefore it does not contain any dogmatic definition. However, since it is a document of the ordinary teaching of the Pope, it has an infallible and irrevocable character. Such a character, in fact, is specifically inherent not only to ex cathedradogmatic definitions, but also to the acts of the ordinary teaching of the Church (see the quoted passage from Lumen gentium, III 25). As for the encyclical Humanae vitae, its content does not give rise to any doubts about the matter. The Holy Father affirms that the Church's teaching on the regulation of births does nothing but "promulgate divine law" (Humanae vitae, n. 20). Addressing himself to spouses, the Pope speaks in the name of the Church, which proclaims "the imprescriptible demands of divine law" (HV, n. 25).
While inviting priests and moral theologians to adhere unanimously in a spirit of faith to the teaching of the Popes regarding the ethics of married life, the Pontiff affirms that it is a matter of the "saving doctrine of Christ." (HV, 29). Moreover, he also speaks of the laws inscribed by God in human nature, so as to ensure that spouses conform "what they do to the will of God the Creator. The very nature of marriage and its use makes His will clear, while the constant teaching of the Church spells it out." An act of mutual love carried out at the expense of the power to transmit life "contradicts both the divine plan, which constitutes the norm of marriage, and the will of the Author of human life [...] and [...] is in opposition to the plan of God and His holy will." Since he speaks in the name of the Church, the Pope is aware that he is "proclaiming humbly but firmly the entire moral law, both natural and evangelical. Since the Church did not make either of these laws, she cannot be their arbiter—only their guardian and interpreter. It could never be right for her to declare lawful what is in fact unlawful […]." This moral law applied to marriage is imprescriptible.
These statements, which present the Pope's intention in a very clear and incisive way, show that it is impossible to think that the conjugal morality contained in the encyclical Humanae vitae could be revoked, i.e. considered fallible. One cannot even think of accepting the opinion of those who see in the encyclical Humanae vitae only pastoral advice and directives — which would correspond to the educational role of the Church — and even less the opinion of those who want to see in the encyclical only an invitation to open up a debate on the issue of marital life and ethics (the encyclical would open a dialogue in which participants would be, in the name of collegiality, the bishops and the Pope). These views are at odds with the clear and distinctive character of the document. Moreover, they are also harmful, since they imply that because of the revocable and therefore fallible character of the encyclical Humanae vitae, everyone could, depending on the circumstances, form a different opinion, which would be for him the norm of his own actions. It cannot be tolerated that, after the encyclical Humanae vitae, there is a state of uncertainty; in particular, it is not acceptable to affirm that this state of uncertainty is reinforced by the attitude of the Pope himself, since an impartial analysis of the text of Humanae vitaedemonstrates the exact opposite.
In light of this analysis of the content of the encyclical Humanae vitae, we need to look more deeply at the opinions of those theologians who, in the teaching of the encyclical on conjugal morality — especially on the inadmissibility of contraception — see a revocable and, consequently, fallible teaching. In the eyes of these theologians, only solemn teaching ex cathedra is infallible and irrevocable. The result is such a restriction of the magisterium in the sphere of moral problems as to make it irrelevant, given that extraordinary teaching (ex cathedra) in this type of issue has been used only in very rare cases.
It should be noted that these theologians, in their opinions, restrict the competence of the Church's magisterium in moral questions since they believe that, in the field of morality, judgements are by their very nature unstable and depend on the historically changeable character of human nature itself. They are convinced, moreover, that within the ambit of natural law, the Church's magisterium cannot issue coercive and definitive decisions, since it is a merely rational sphere of knowledge of man and the condition of his life. They have also called into question the competence of the Church's magisterium as it would not have been able to see the link between particular norms of Catholic moral doctrine and Revelation. They have therefore challenged certain moral principles taught by the magisterium, justifying this attitude by the fact that these principles are not explicitly found in Sacred Scripture.
It would be useful to recall here the general principles enshrined in the First Synod of Bishops of 1967, which define the tasks of theologians in the Church and, in particular, their attitude towards the Magisterium and pastoral ministry.
The third part should deal with conscience and its relationship to the moral law. Conscience is the decisive and binding norm of human activity: it is binding, since man must act according to his own conscience, and it is decisive, since it constitutes the ultimate and direct element that guides human action. Nevertheless, while fully accepting the normative character of conscience, one cannot see in it the one and only norm, let alone a norm superior to the moral law. Attributing to conscience an autonomy that would give it not only a normative but also a legislative role, would be contrary to the foundations of both natural and revealed ethics. Such autonomy would be tantamount to accepting subjectivism and relativism in morality. Now, subjectivism and relativism are in contradiction with true morality, especially with Christian morality, simply because these amount to the denial of objective moral good and evil and, consequently, of the specific function of conscience. It is, in fact, up to conscience to determine good and evil and to discern it according to the objective moral law.
The whole doctrinal tradition of the Church recognizes that the objective moral law is found in Revelation. It also recognizes that Revelation (particularly the Letter to the Romans, 2) affirms the existence of the natural moral law. This affirmation is of great importance for faith and theology, regardless of the different philosophical conceptions of natural law. When the Church, in her teaching of morals, refers to the natural law, she does not allude to any of these philosophical conceptions, but sees the natural law as an object of faith and theology. She regards it to be the foundation of the morality which, in turn, has been explicitly revealed. The specific norms of the moral law are accessible to human reason, which recognizes and accepts them as the foundation of morality. The Church considers herself to be the guardian and teacher of these norms, for, although they were not the object of a special revelation, Revelation nevertheless confirms their existence and their binding force.
The essence of the Church's teaching on natural law consists in emphasizing that there is an objective moral order, which derives from the nature of man, a universal and immutable order, guaranteed by the Supreme Legislator and, consequently, independent of the State and its power. Together with revealed law, this moral order represents the constitutive whole of morality. It falls within the competence of the Church: in fact, its observance is a condition for salvation. This is precisely why Paul VI defines the teaching of the encyclical Humanae vitae as the expression of objective moral truth that no one, not even the Church, can change.
The efforts of theologians to provide a new interpretation, or a better (more modern) expression of the issue of natural law, cannot be carried out at the expense of its basic principles, which are founded on Scripture, Tradition and the Magisterium. Thanks to these sources, we know with the same certainty conscience derives its normative force — which is binding and decisive — from objective morality. This law is divine. And if it were human, it would be rooted in a divine law or formally revealed, or contained in natural law. It is precisely this law that Paul VI recalls and explains in the encyclical Humanae Vitae.
That said, one cannot consider as morally good the attitude of a Catholic who, fully aware of the moral doctrine of the Church, acts according to the subjective judgment of his own conscience and opposes the norms he well knows.
This is the focal point on which the statements of some episcopates fix all their attention, as they try to show maximum indulgence towards the various processes of consciousness in this difficult and painful field of human morals. However, the possibility of profoundly erroneous states of consciousness cannot be excluded. A distinction must be made between the acceptance of the possibility of such a state of conscience and the acceptance of the subjective right of a Catholic to create such a state, or to form a specific judgment about conscience that would be in disagreement with the objective moral law, invariably taught in the Church through the voice of the Supreme Magisterium.
The encyclical Humanae vitae highlights precisely what, in the field of the transmission of life, is a stable law of morality taught by the Church. It concerns responsible parenthood and the ban on contraception. All the circumstances that enable science, culture and technology to develop today allow us to understand anew what is immutable in the divine moral law, without this immutable [law] being changed.
Consequently, we must also remember the principles that moral theology uses to describe the way in which a sure and upright conscience is formed. It is achieved by knowing the moral value of an act. Conscience, as such, demands that one refrain from performing an act if, a correct discernment of its moral value has not previously been made. This moral obligation also allows us to clarify the scope and direction of the duties of priests and confessors in this area. They have a duty to teach the moral law in order to make it possible to formulate true judgments of conscience. The formation of consciences is one of the fundamental tasks of the priestly ministry.
The fourth part of the Instruction that we propose should, following the encyclical Humanae vitae, set out the doctrine on marriage, particularly some of its aspects, in order to present a correct and clear perspective on the theme of marital love. This is certainly the crucial ethical issue that plays a fundamental role in the formation of consciences.
Following the constitution Gaudium et Spes and the encyclical Humanae vitae, it is necessary to remember the religious character of every marriage contract. It is a union of divine institution which occupies a very precise place in God's creative and saving plan. It is necessary to insist on the fact that marriage is a vocation, that is, a mission that the persons in question receive directly from God. These are the fundamental aspects of a theology of marriage, which introduce it into the sphere of faith and the vital relationship between man and God.
We must also put the fundamental elements of married life in order. Marriage, indeed, is a community of persons based on love. Yet we cannot conceive of this community of love in this way, if procreation and the educational mission that follows from it are treated in a secondary way. From this point of view, the teaching of the encyclical Humanae vitae on conjugal love leaves no room for doubt. Spouses are called to participate, through their eternal and fruitful love in God's creative and saving plan. The Author of the encyclical intended to address all marital communities, expanding this perspective beyond Christian marriage.
It is useful to look at the value of sexual relations — without forgetting their moral value — from the point of view of the dignity of persons, by considering that one is dealing with a real interpersonal relationship that is realized in them, and by underlining the duties that come from this type of relations. This is precisely the reason why one cannot pass over in silence the aspect of fecundity, which is inherent to sexual relations and closely linked to their interpersonal relational character. In a certain way, the aspect of fecundity opens interpersonal relations between man and woman to a participation in the creative work of God, according to His eternal designs.
Similarly, we must insist on conjugal harmony, which is of great importance as proof of love and of the community of persons. However, it cannot be presented as if it were, as such, a moral good and a fundamental and directing modality of responding to God's call in marriage, regardless of the way in which it is understood, and of the means that, in the opinion of many, ought to lead to it. Moreover, it often happens that this harmony is conceived in such a way that only the sexual union of the spouses constitutes its source, as if there were no other possibility for the love of the spouses to be expressed and grow, except through sexual acts. From this perspective, sexual continence would be a danger to conjugal love and its harmony. However, we can easily observe that at the basis of these opinions lies an inaccurate vision of man, which is clearly alien to the Gospel, and to the Christian tradition and experience in this regard. What, in reality, actually threatens the marriage community is certainly not a mature and conscious continence (for example, periodic continence), but rather the absence of psycho-sexual and moral maturity, which makes this continence impossible. This lack of maturity means that spouses do not see continence as an expression of love for their spouse (especially in certain circumstances) and as a renunciation and a sacrifice, which is a condition sine qua non of love, of its endurance and its growth.
It is therefore up to the master of morals and teacher, who is the Church — and, in the Church, the supreme authority of the Pope — to grasp and highlight the boundaries that, in the sphere of sexual values, make one pass from the act worthily lived, to use and abuse. This is precisely the danger that threatens the values themselves, which — given the close bond between sexuality and the human person — hold a special subtlety and need an authentic sublimation. In any case, the opinion that contraception is indispensable for the stability and the love of the spouses is a crude opinion, and is irreconcilable with a Christian vision of man. This vision accords more weight to the value of man and the essential values of his body and sexuality than to its possibilities in this area.
This vision of man and the certainties that derive from it, as far as the real scale of his value and his possibilities is concerned, is — as the text of the encyclical Humanae vitae clearly shows — the foundation of the cardinal norms of conjugal morality taught by the Church (and more broadly of sexual morality). A moral norm, in fact, like any other law, can impose only those duties whose fulfillment is possible for the man to whom the norm is addressed. In this case, it is a rule of divine law: this means that the legislator possesses not only a particular knowledge of good and evil, but also a very profound knowledge of the man whom he subjects to this rule. The Supreme Lawmaker knows man's possibilities in this matter. Yet this does not in any way mean that the rule of divine law, recalled (and once again clarified) by the encyclical Humanae vitae, can be fulfilled without difficulty, without suffering and without adequate effort. This suffering, which preludes the fulfillment of the divine law, is — we see it above all in the light of the Gospel — an inseparable part of the Christian life. In the same spirit (that is, in the light of the Gospel) it is she who bears witness to love and who helps to strengthen it.
Opposed to these premises, which are essential premises of Christian faith and morality, is the principle according to which what is difficult and painful cannot constitute a moral duty and cannot bind in conscience. Starting from this principle, it is maintained that the obligation to preserve conjugal unity and harmony does not include the control of conjugal life and periodic continence. Supporters of these opinions perceive and highlight in the Church's teaching as recalled by the encyclical Humanae vitae, a case which they define as a "conflict of duties." In their opinion, there is a conflict between the demands of responsible parenthood which requires, in certain circumstances, that spouses refrain from marital relations, and the duty to maintain conjugal harmony through the practice of such relations. Furthermore, they are convinced that this second duty is linked to a more important and more fundamental marital good.
While it cannot be denied that the maintenance of the marriage bond and unity is a fundamental good for any marital community, it is equally true that it cannot be accepted — for the reasons mentioned above — that this unity and this bond be established by virtue of the mere fact of not controlling the marital relations between the spouses, to whom an unlimited freedom should be given. We have described the reason why such an opinion is false and unacceptable from the Christian perspective of man, his value and his possibilities. Therefore, the suggested "conflict of duties" is only an apparent conflict. Essentially, we are faced with elementary psychological difficulties and tension between, on the one hand, weaknesses or temptation and, on the other, the demands of divine law. This tension cannot be called a "conflict of duties," since what characterizes it is the awareness of the effort that accompanies the fulfillment of the duty. Any misinterpretation of the facts in the moral sphere or any confusion of level must scrupulously be avoided. It is necessary, in fact, to distinguish the true conflict of moral duties from the psychological effort linked to the observance of the established moral order or its fulfillment.
The quality of values, in this field, should serve as a basis for measuring, i.e. determining, the severity of transgressions. A correct measure — neither too low nor too high— is an indispensable coefficient for the whole doctrine of conjugal love, as well as the basis for a true formation of consciences in this area.
The fifth part of the proposed Instruction (and certainly the last one) should be dedicated to the analysis of the sacramental aspect of the issue. First of all, it is a question of clearly defining the meaning of the sacrament of marriage. It is not enough to observe, in general terms, that this sacrament establishes a certain bond with Jesus Christ and, by virtue of this, imposes on the spouses the duty of mutual fidelity.
It is also necessary — as the encyclical Humanae vitae and the Constitution Gaudium et Spes do — to show that marriage is a sacrament which, by its very vocation, is at the origin of the integral response to God's creative and saving plan. The Sacrament of Marriage makes it possible to give this response and, at the same time, makes it possible for this response to be given in the context of the morality mentioned above — morality that makes conjugal love understood and fulfilled according to the established order. In the life of the Church and in the life of every Christian, the sacrament of marriage forms the basis of the values of which we have just spoken, as well as the possibility of fulfilling them according to a truly evangelical plan. This means that the spouses must make the effort we have described above, whose texture is made up of the fundamental set of duties imposed by the lay apostolate. Of course, this also requires a proportional effort on the part of priests involved in ministry, that takes the form of the regular administration of the sacraments of Penance and the Eucharist.
The Holy Father therefore sets forth this effort in the encyclical Humanae vitae. While inviting the spouses to have recourse to the Sacrament of Penance, he draws their attention to the need to make an equivalent moral effort, which consists in overcoming their weaknesses and getting up again after falls and false steps. The Pope's teaching associates the Sacrament of Penance with the practice of the virtue of penance, conversion and aversion to sin in the Sacrament of Penance. Paul VI insists very much on the penitential and, at the same time, medicinal character of the sacraments. To confessors, he advises indulgence and love towards penitents, while asking them to highlight well what constitutes sin, and to demand, consequently, its rejection. It goes without saying that indulgence and love for penitents also require that priests really make them aware of the ethical methods to be used for the regulation of births and that they facilitate their practice.
On the other hand, this indulgence and love recommended by the Holy Father cannot be understood as an attitude which risks undermining the very value of conversion in the Sacrament of Penance, and the conditions necessary for receiving this sacrament correctly, or which risks calling into question the need to receive information about the Church's authentic teaching on conjugal morality. While, therefore, it is absolutely right to demand that penitents be treated with all the respect due to the dignity of their person, contemplating the possibility of a progressive conversion, it is also necessary — not with regard to these postulates, but in order to carry them out — to speak without delay about the dispositions needed to correct one's behavior, that is, to break with sin and with the occasions that inevitably lead to it. One of the particular conditions for this conversion to the tribunal of penance is full adherence to the ethical norms taught by the Church — and, subsequently, a willingness to make all necessary efforts to put these norms into practice — a willingness to continually renew one's efforts, should fidelity to these moral norms not be crowned with success. Moreover, since it sometimes happens that penitents are in good faith, this principle of respect for their dignity cannot be applied indifferently, in the case of good faith or in the case of those who fail to accept certain aspects of the moral law contained in the encyclical Humanae vitae. In other words, the confessor cannot give free rein to these questions, but must examine, explain, advise, demand (or ensure that the penitent himself takes such measures). As for the penitent, he must be ready to ask forgiveness, to ask for advice and to take the required measures. In short, it is a matter of adopting exactly the attitude that the Gospel clearly presents before our eyes.
Pastoral care cannot seek other solutions, and theology, especially moral theology, cannot lead to such deviations. However, moral theology and pastoral theology and, subsequently, pastoral ministry, can and must seek solutions that — while identifying with Gospel attitudes and deepening them — also draw nourishment from the riches of modern science and knowledge that are closely linked to the problems of responsible parenthood. The encyclical Humanae vitae reiterates this concept several times. Moral theology, as well as pastoral ministry, must be very sensitive to the line of demarcation that separates ethics from technology. After all, it is not technology but ethics that is able to solve human problems.
As for the Eucharist, the apex par excellence of the Christian life, it is certainly a vital source of mutual love for the spouses. Therefore, in principle, it is reasonable not to alienate — especially lightly — spouses who have difficulty in carrying out the duties of responsible parenthood, although true anxieties of conscience should not be underestimated and one should not insist on proposing the Eucharist in cases where the conscience of the spouses leaves something to be desired. On the other hand, it is categorically prohibited to recommend Holy Communion without prior confession to spouses who use contraceptive means in the context of their marriage. In this case, the principle of St. Paul — probet autem seipsum homo [Let a man examine himself] (1 Cor. 11:28) — is absolutely required. To want to level out the limits between good and evil in favor of reception of the Eucharist is a very dangerous attitude, since it exposes the faithful to the danger of a fruitless, even sacrilegious, reception of the sacraments. The important thing is that the Eucharist be, in a moral sense, a source of authentic sanctification.

Q: Checking to see if ViewBag has a property or not, to conditionally inject JavaScript Consider this simple controller:
Porduct product = new Product(){
  // Creating a product object;
};
try
{
   productManager.SaveProduct(product);
   return RedirectToAction("List");
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
   ViewBag.ErrorMessage = ex.Message;
   return View("Create", product);
}

Now, in my Create view, I want to check ViewBag object, to see if it has Error property or not. If it has the error property, I need to inject some JavaScript into the page, to show the error message to my user.
I created an extension method to check this:
public static bool Has (this object obj, string propertyName)
{
    Type type = obj.GetType();
    return type.GetProperty(propertyName) != null;
}

Then, in the Create view, I wrote this line of code:
@if (ViewBag.Has("Error"))
{
    // Injecting JavaScript here
}

However, I get this error:

Cannot perform runtime binding on a null reference

Any idea?

A: Instead of using the ViewBag, use ViewData so you can check for the of the item you are storing. The ViewData object is used as Dictionary of objects that you can reference by key, it is not a dynamic as the ViewBag.
// Set the [ViewData][1] in the controller
ViewData["hideSearchForm"] = true;

// Use the condition in the view
if(Convert.ToBoolean(ViewData["hideSearchForm"])
    hideSearchForm();

A: I would avoid ViewBag here completely.
See my thoughts here on this:
http://completedevelopment.blogspot.com/2011/12/stop-using-viewbag-in-most-places.html
The alternative would be to throw a custom error and catch it. how do you know if the database is down, or if its a business logic save error? in the example above you just catch a single exception, generally there is a better way to catch each exception type, and then a general exception handler for the truly unhandled exceptions such as the built in custom error pages or using ELMAH.
So above, I would instead
ModelState.AddModelError()
You can then look at these errors (assuming you arent jsut going to use the built in validation) via
How do I access the ModelState from within my View (aspx page)?
So please carefully consider displaying a message when you catch 'any' exception.

A: You can use ViewData.ContainsKey("yourkey").
In controller:
ViewBag.IsExist = true;

In view:
if(ViewData.ContainsKey("IsExist")) {...}

A: Your code doesnt work because ViewBag is a dynamic object not a 'real' type.
the following code should work:
public static bool Has (this object obj, string propertyName)
{
    var dynamic = obj as DynamicObject;
    if(dynamic == null) return false;
    return dynamic.GetDynamicMemberNames().Contains(propertyName);
}

A: @if (ViewBag.Error!=null)
{
    // Injecting JavaScript here
}

A: I need to test this but:
@if (ViewBag.ABoolParam ?? false)
{
    //do stuff
}

I think will give you either the value of the ViewBag property, or return a default value if missing.

Q: Vectorize multiplication in Tensorflow I have the following problem in Tensorflow:
#y_true.shape = (8, 256, 512)
#y_pred.shape = (8, 256, 512, 39) where 39 is the different classes

focal_loss_weight = tf.multiply(y_true, tf.pow(
   tf.subtract(1., y_pred), 0.3))

I am trying to find the total loss so I should create a for loop to iterate over 39 classes from y_pred and add them together to a total loss of dimension (8,256,512). How would be the vectorized way?

A: Quite simple, assuming I understood correctly:
y_true_broadcast = y_true[..., tf.newaxis]  # add axis at the end to make dimensions match
# in this next line, y_true will be replicated over the 39 classes.
# I hope this is what you were asking for...
loss_per_class = y_true_broadcast * tf.pow(1. - y_pred, 0.3)
total_loss = tf.reduce_sum(loss_per_class, axis=-1)  # sum over classes

This is fully parallel and should be quite fast.


A busy time in Alice Springs!
I made lots of new friends in Alice Springs and it was great to meet some of the children who already knew a little bit about me and my adventures. Of course I introduced Clementine Rose to them as well. I've included quite a few pictures below – I hope you enjoy them. This week, Jacqueline Harvey is busy working on our 9th adventure, which will see us in Japan. I can't wait to share that with you all too. I know holidays are coming up soon, so enjoy the last week or two of school.

Autotech startup Pitstop raises $1.5 million, partners with Continental
Pitstop, a cloud-based platform that uses machine learning to perform predictive vehicle maintenance, has announced it has raised $1.5 million CAD in seed financing.
"We are seeing predictive analytics play a vital role in reducing unexpected downtime and costs for businesses operating in this industry."
The funding round, closed in September, was led by Ripple Ventures, with participation from WorldQuant Ventures, Hike VC, Ontario Centres for Excellence, and Clairvest managing director Michael Castellarin. Pitstop's dashboard and mobile application provide real-time, actionable insights to the automotive industry. Its data and prognostics tool aims to predict failures, prevent inefficiencies, and reduce maintenance costs for vehicle owners.
Pitstop CEO Shiva Bhardwaj told BetaKit the new funding will fuel new enterprise partnerships and scale the company's platform.
"There are so many systems on a car that no one human being, or one team, can manually ensure are running as effectively as they can," Bhardwaj said. "You need software to automatically detect failures and then fix the cars, to eventually provide self-healing capabilities, to some degree."
Bhardwaj founded the company in 2015, with a degree in Applied Sciences from the University of Waterloo's Electrical and Computer Engineering program. The startup began building an app to notify individual users about issues with their cars before they occurred and suggested auto body shops that could fix the issues on demand.
RELATED: Lessons on scaling from TradeRev founder Mark Endras
The company raised a $750,000 CAD round in 2016, which was, in part, used to help vehicle service centres increase customer retention. After the raise, Pitstop began building algorithms that could predict component failures, before companies like automotive supplier and transportation technology company Continental began approaching the team, requesting to licence the algorithms.
Bhardwaj said Pitstop's business with small dealerships was difficult to sustain, as these smaller customers weren't driving much value. The model soon shifted from the consumer play to a B2B enterprise model and the team underwent a six-month transition to refocus the company back to building out the core technology. With the transition now complete, it is now looking to add select account executives to the company and is also focused on expanding its engineering team.
"The future growth potential is huge," Bhardwaj said. "We have about five enterprise contracts today that we're working through. All of them have the ability to get us from tens of thousands of cars to hundreds of thousands and then millions. With the growth of the global automotive market, and the global connected car market expected to reach $280.36 billion by 2026, we are seeing predictive analytics play a vital role in reducing unexpected downtime and costs for businesses operating in this industry."
The Pitstop prognostics platform aggregates automotive data and sends it to a secure remote server where algorithms, artificial intelligence and machine learning tools provide information about increasingly complex automotive systems.
"[Bhardwaj] has extreme knowledge of the domain he's working in, which is a very crowded space," Ripple Ventures founder and managing partner Matt Cohen told BetaKit. "He's in… a space where there's a lot of competition, and he's been able to differentiate and distinguish himself by sitting above all of the other players. Seeing that domain expertise was important to us."
RELATED: Laurier University students raises $1 million for road-safety, impairment device startup
Along with the seed funding, Pitstop also announced a pilot test program with Continental. Pitstop said the new pilot test program with Continental will give both companies a first-to-market offering that provides predictive analytics from disparate data sources.
Pitstop participated in the 2016 cohort of Waterloo-based ODX Ventures. ODX Ventures is the startup support program for Canada's Open Data Exchange, which is mandated to support the popular use and commercialization of open data. The company is now housed in Ripple Ventures' incubator-style space, which opened in October.
Ripple Ventures' 5,000 square foot incubator space, called "the Tank," aims to allow founders to work with other like-minded entrepreneurs who are in the same stage. Cohen told BetaKit Ripple tries to work with its companies every day to stop them from making mistakes that a lot of early-stage companies make.
"Creating a solution that was five to 10 times better than what the market had and having somebody that had… the ability and tenacity to stick with it [were] really important to us, because that's what we look for in our entrepreneurs," Cohen said. "It's completely paid off in terms of accelerating that growth, and the industry has taken notice."

Jane Lynch: Ridgefield Playhouse December 2 in, "A Swinging Little Christmas" By Eileen Shapiro
October 31, 2017 June 26, 2021 by Jimmy Star's World 0 Comments
"The Jimmy Star Show", @DrJimmyStar, @jimmystarsworld, Interviews, Jimmy Star, Media, Public, Ron Russell
Celebrated quadruple Emmy Winner, actress, singer and comedian, Jane Lynch will be appearing live on stage at the Ridgefield Playhouse, (80 E Ridge Rd. CT.), on Saturday December 2 at 8:00pm. The name of the show is called, "A Swinging Little Christmas" and will also feature Kate Flannery (The Office) and Tim Davis (Boy Band). The three will be singing selections off their release, "A Swinging Little Christmas".
Praised and admired for her role as Sue Sylvester, the main antagonist throughout Fox's sensational, musical dramedy "Glee", host of NBC's "Hollywood Game Night", and her recent guest appearance on the new "Will and Grace", her film, television and stage credits would require a novel to list, however just to touch the surface: "The Fugitive", "Best in Show", "The 40-Year-Old Virgin", "Role Models", Another Cinderella Story", "Spring Breakdown", Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs", and Wreck-It Ralph". Her television appearances include: "Manhunt: Unabomber", "The X Files", "Desperate Housewives", "Arrested Development", "Gilmore Girls", "Weeds", "Criminal Minds", "L Word", "Fraser", and "Saturday Night Live". Aside from that Lynch hosted the "63rd Primetime Emmy Awards", has received a Star on The Hollywood Walk of Fame", and has written an autobiography entitled, "Happy Accidents".
Lynch also debuted in her own cabaret show, "See Jane Sing" with "The Office's" Kate Flannery. Kate Flannery and Tim Davis from ABC's "Boy Band", also recorded "A Swinging Christmas" which is a nostalgic Christmas album, laced with superb harmonies and fun filled tunes. A perfect way to celebrate accompanying Christmas dinner. Also recently, Lynch released a Christmas single and video with the iconic actor and singer, Dick Van Dyke, written via Tony Guerrero, and entitled, "We're Going Caroling".
I was honored to speak with the vivacious Jane Lynch in depth, regarding her Ridgefield Playhouse engagement as well as some of her other projects, future projects, and what she's been up to. She was warm, authentic and a regular blast!
What can the people at the Ridgefield Playhouse look forward to?
Oh, "A Swinging Little Christmas" time, which is the name of our album, and the name of the show. We have a wonderful 5 piece band. They really Swing and jazz out. We have an album called, " Swinging Little Christmas", and we'll be performing all songs from that album. If people want to bone up on it they should get it ahead of time and sing along with us. Kate Flannery who is "Meredith the Drunk" on " The Office" is my cohort in this, as well as Tim Davis who is the. Coal arranger of "Glee", and who is also one of the coaches on "Boy Band". He is a really good friend, handsome, beautiful voice, and the three of us do very tight three part harmonies. It a lot of fun. Anywhere there is Kate Flannery there is going to be fun. So, there's a lot of fun on stage, and the music in my humble opinion is gorgeous. We have an amazing band, Tony Guerrero Quintet, from Orange County in California. They've been playing together for years and are real throw-backs. They wear the skinny ties with the pocket squares, and they're fun, and handsome, and we are gorgeous, and it's a beautiful night.
I heard the album actually. It's a very cool album, full of swing….so wait a minute, Kate Flannery and Tim Davis will be performing with you?
Oh yeah, Kate and Tim.
That is so cool. So you were on the new "Will and Grace". Do you think your role might become a recurring role?
I don't think so, I think it was a one of, but boy what fun that was. I played a gay conversion therapy counselor. Of course, I was so gay it made your teeth hurt. My quote, unquote husband was Andrew Rannells, who couldn't be more game himself…which is a lot of fun. We got to do some really fun things with them. It was a great, great, great time.
I notice that you just recorded a Christmas single with Dick Van Dyke? How cool was that?
Yes, it was the best. Tony Guerrero our band leader wrote a song called, "We're going Caroling". Dick agreed to record it, I sang the backup, and so we made a little video. So that is something you can get on iTunes and Amazon as an extra when you buy the album. You can also go on my website: janelynchoffical.com to see all of this. We have three or four videos of our Christmas songs too. Real simple things, standing in front of a big mic, with great editing, and it's funny. He's just a champ, he's amazing. It was a dream come true for me, to stand next to him, singing that song.
I've heard you rap, but in the video you're playing the saxophone. Do you really play the saxophone?
No….. and I don't rap that well either, let's be honest.
I thought it was great, it made me laugh.
You have done so many projects in your career, you're an actor, singer, comedian, cabaret performer, 4 time Emmy Winner, you have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame", is there anything that you haven't done yet that you still wish to accomplish?
No. I have no bucket list. I never did really. I just kind of always took what came my way, I said, " hmm, I'll do this". I really love what I do, and I continue to love it, and if I didn't then I wouldn't do it. New things keep on coming in, and it's thrilling. Everyday is thrilling, I'm always doing something new.
As a small child, did you feel that you were destined to be an entertainer?
Yeah, I knew and with that came a lot of anxiety. "Will I be able to get in there, will I get through"? But yes, that was really all I wanted. It was like a fever, like a compulsion….it was not something I could be talked out of, and believe me my mother tried.
Is there any advice that you would give to little baby Jane looking back?
Well, don't try to be a baby Jane, be your own self. I think that's kind of what I did. People would ask me, I remember being in graduate school for acting, they said, "do you see any careers out there you'd like to follow the trajectory of"? I felt like I had to have an answer. Now I realize that I never did, and I still don't , so I would say follow your own trajectory. You kind of have to really want to do it. If that's not you find out what else you're passionate about. You really have to whether people saying no, and shutting the door in your face, and continue to move on because you have no other choice. Or else you'll quit and do something else.
Something tells me that you didn't have that many doors slam.
You know what, I did and I didn't, and maybe I have rose colored glasses, but after I look back on it I didn't suffer much of the rejection. There was a lot of it, but there was also a lot of, " Hey come play with us". So that made up for it and squashed the memories of any feelings of rejection.
I saw an interview that you did with Conan O'Brien where you said that you weren't that interested in people. I laughed so much.
(A lot of laughing), You know I am in the general sense. I really love people but, we get so wrapped up in minutiae. When I have to go down into someone's minutiae and their little stories about how they are victimized, or how popular they were in high school, but they're not now, that kind of thing, I'm not into it. I don't think that fits in the scene when your jumping on the band wagon of someone else's misery story, so I stay away from that. For sure.
I totally identify with your feeling on that being a journalist.
Yeah, I bet. Some people aren't and you have to make them look interesting,
I love what I do, but sometimes it's challenging. Sometimes people go on and on forever and you just want to kill yourself.
Oh my god I know, honey I know. That's why I don't go to parties. They say that I'm socially anxious, which is the truth but for the most part I can't stand that muddle of conversation, communication. That's why I'd rather just have……I had my niece and her boyfriend over for dinner last night. It was so much fun. We don't talk about crappy little things. We laugh, we allow silence to happen, we eat and drink good food and good bubbly water.
My family is a really big fan of yours because you were in "Wreck-It RALPH".
Yeah….what's really funny if you go on any of my social edit today I posted my niece, my niece's boyfriend and me wearing my Wreck-It Ralph costume, because I actually have a costume. I asked who wore it better.
How funny. That had to be cool doing animation voices. You've done a bunch.
I've done a lot of animation. Animation on television too in a couple of series. I love it.
That has to be fun. You don't even have to wear make-up for the camera.
But I do because I'm that kind of girl. I used to show up in my pajamas, but I cleaned up my act. I used to be kind of a sloppy person but when I became famous and had my picture taken a lot I figured I better step it up.
You know we're coming to New York too. We're going to be at "City Winery" right after Ridgefield. We will be at "City Winery" that Sunday and Monday. Let's get that place full. It's going to be a great time. Are you familiar with City Winery?
No, I'm not, but I'll become familiar.
Good, come and say hello, please.
What else is coming up for you? Any new projects?
I'm pitching a day time show. A show about good news. It's a passion project of mine and Warner Bros. has jumped on board. It will just be a half hour of an audience, me, and Kate Flannery is going to join me as well and some other friends. It will be mostly about good things that are happening in the world. We're going to have people in the audience who have done some wonderful things. We'll have a lot of videos of people doing wonderful things and it's just going to be a half an hour of laughs and fun. So we hope that it all gets sold. The world needs it, and I want to do it. It would fill my heart with joy. It's easy, it's all over the place. That's the thing that was slapping me in the face. We only here the horrible stuff, and there are people all over doing amazing things. Most of them are just the little things people do for each other, that are pretty amazing, and animals of course.

"He gave his father The Talk."
Dos Equis tries different things with The Most Interesting Man in World, but the campaign's strength lies, and will always lie, in those inspired one-liners—the ones your wife's uncle is always parroting because he knows you work in advertising, and aren't those just the most hilarious commercials you've ever seen in your life?!
"In a past life, he was himself."
"If opportunity knocks and he's not home, opportunity waits."
These two new spots have some great lines—worthy additions to the Most Interesting canon. And while Havas Worldwide has been branching out with the character—it had that answering machine gimmick, and most recently announced it would be celebrating Cinco de Mayo beginning on Dos de Mayo—the original TV-spot formula remains the purest distillation of the character.
He's the same old guy in these ads, only more so. He plays handball. He deciphers hieroglyphics. He goes to India. Even when he's modernizing, it's with a smirk. In one of the new ads, he's gone mobile—with one of those early giant 1980s brick-like cellphones. In the end, the guy is just too cool to be cool.
Like the man himself, this campaign always does best by staying the same.


At 2105 on June 16, Jason Kraus (30), a member of the Cold and Stinky Expedition, requested evacuation from the base of the Cassin Ridge on Denali. Kraus had sustained an injury to his left leg from falling ice while belaying his partner, Michael Morris, in the Japanese Couloir. Both members rappelled approximately 5 00 feet down the couloir where they established a landing zone at the 11,300-foot level for the NPS Lama helicopter. Kraus was unable to walk, yet remained in stable condition until Denali Park Ranger Dave Kreutzer arrived on scene with Lama pilot Jim Hood. At 2247, Kraus was transported to 7200-foot camp where he received primary medical assistance by climbing ranger Karen Hilton and NPS volunteer Sara Ennega. Kraus' chief complaint was point tenderness in his upper left thigh resulting in an inability to bear weight. Lifeguard helicopter arrived at 7200-foot camp at approximately 2300 and transported Kraus to Providence Medical Center where he was treated for a bruised thigh.
Proper assessment of the fall line within a couloir can reduce the risk of injury to a climber. Kraus may have been able to avoid injury from ice fall had he and his partner chosen a belay stance out of the fall line of climbers above.

Was there really that much demand to revisit this franchise? Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the previous Jack Ryan films, but the property just never struck me as one with staying power on par with something like James Bond. I guess you could say that JACK RYAN: SHADOW RECRUIT is the CASINO ROYALE of the series: trying to start fresh by disassociating itself from previous continuity and being sleek and visceral with characters in order to present an original storyline not based on one of Clancy's novels. And, in that aspect, I feel it succeeds thanks in no small part to the taut pacing and structure provided by Director Kenneth Branagh (THOR). SHADOW RECRUIT may not be the best Jack Ryan film (personal favorites of mine being THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER and PATRIOT GAMES), but it is still very serviceable as a jumping-on point for a new audience…and is definitely more deserving of a spot other than the movie dumping ground that is January.
Throughout the film, Branagh keeps the action and suspense going pretty steadily. At no point does there feel like a lull in the story's pace, though at times some subplots are seemingly dropped in order to accomplish this. Cathy's exposure to and acceptance of Jack's secrets comes and goes pretty quickly, details on the villain's backstory that are barely given more than one line of dialogue suddenly become super-important for the climax (so pay close attention, kids!) and supporting characters are introduced ever-so briefly and then brought back later on as if we're expected to remember who they are or what they do.
But honestly, all that is fairly forgivable since Jack Ryan keeps the focus and entertainment going with the "in over his head" moments on this first mission. Don't expect 007-like steeliness from Chris Pine here. Though Ryan is a very competent fighter and operative (being a former Marine), this is no picnic. The aftermath of his first-ever kill is a particularly well-done scene and helps to reiterate the character's inexperience and initial hesitancy for this kind of work. The other cast members are fairly solid in their performances, as well. Knightley's Cathy could have easily been relegated to an annoying romantic subplot, but thankfully she is presented as being not only as resourceful and clever as Jack, but also a very light-hearted and likable-enough character. Kevin Costner (MAN OF STEEL), having fully settled himself into "wiser, older mentor" mode, is still pretty charismatic as Ryan's no-nonsense handler from the CIA. But without a doubt, Kenneth Branagh's villainous Viktor is the highlight of the film. He's not an over-the-top evil mastermind taking every opportunity to diabolically laugh into the camera, but you can tell that this guy clearly enjoys a few of the perks of being in a position of power while still being all business when it comes to his terrorist activities. And when he gets intense and gives our hero a hard look or ominous line of dialogue, it is truly unsettling. Pulling double duty as an actor and director was obviously not too difficult a challenge for Branagh.
While SHADOW RECRUIT isn't anything wildly spectacular or innovative, it still was an enjoyable sit. The cast is in top form, the atmosphere is appropriately intense and despite a fairly standard plot, the film was able to maintain a steady amount of thrills, drama and even humor throughout. Honestly, that's all I have ever really expected from these Jack Ryan movies: to provide me with a couple of hours of solid entertainment and political espionage. And even though this may have been a franchise comeback that people were not highly-anticipating, it still serves as a well-crafted first entry for the rebooted world of Tom Clancy's beloved creation.

Torla-Ordesa is a municipality in the province of Huesca, Aragon, Spain. It is in the northwest of the Sobrarbe region, 100 km from the capital of Huesca, and had 298 inhabitants according to the 2018 census (INE).

Torla is in the glacial valley of the River Ara, after the confluence of the valleys of Bujaruelo and Ordesa, assuming that the glacier tongue reached Asin Broto, with more than 30 km in total. The Ara is said to be the only river of any importance in Spain that is not dammed by the human hand throughout its 70 km course to its confluence with the River Cinca in Ainsa.

Torla borders France but lacks a road connection with it, and is a gateway to the Ordesa y Monte Perdido National Park in the valley of Ordesa, and to Valle de Broto. It can only be accessed by the N-260 from Broto or from Biescas through the port of Cotefablo (1,423 m.). In summer, when access  to the valley of Ordesa in Torla is restricted for private vehicles, buses are arranged through the park to climb to the meadow of Ordesa.

One of the newest models from Calligaris, St Tropez, has received a coveted Good Design Award for furniture in 2017.
St Tropez offers a highly unique shell with quilted back, and is available in a variety of colors and bases. Through the magic of Italian design, this piece has succeeded in creating playful design that is also highly sophisticated.
The Good Design awards started as a partnership between the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) in New York City and the Merchandise Mart in Chicago, so it isn't a wonder that this piece screams Pop Art.
We are excited by the poppy colors drawn from a Warhol or Haring inspiration, as well as the unique structure that draws lines to a Koons sculpture… this chair is truly inspired.
The polycarbonate shell is available in 4 transparent tones and 4 matt colors, and is mounted on either a base with 4 legs in metal or wood, or on an aluminum base with 4 or 5 casters.

Read on for an exclusive excerpt from SEASON OF THE WOLF:
Pups spend their first years wild. Then comes the dreaded Year of First Shoes when they have to begin to learn how to be in skin. The First Shoes are supposed to wait for the adult wolves to come before they get into the water, but they are too anxious. . .
Something splashes, followed by excited yips and yells made by children who aren't used to the form until one of the older ones calls out: "Tasha felled!"
Leonora starts to run, hampered by sandals. I run, too, hampered by the jostling of injured ribs, but Constantine races past me, wolf-fast on two legs. The children huddle to the side of the dock as his feet pound down the dock and he launches himself far out into the water, cutting through it like an otter.
At the edge of the dock, I lie down, my arms in the water where she should be, searching. Tasha isn't even First Shoes and doesn't know how to swim in skin.
The sun catches something bright in the churned water and I grab for it, pulling. My ribs scream even though she is being pushed up from below.
Constantine emerges as I gather her, tiny and coughing and terrified, into my arms, marking her over and over again until the shaking subsides.
His fingers grab hold of the edge of the dock, just below my bent leg.
"Coodn beethe," she sobs.
"It's not the same in skin. That's why you have to learn. That's why I told you to wait."
I let my leg fall, feeling his fingers, cold and damp even through my jeans.
"I don' wann be in thin. Don' lig it."
"It doesn't matter what you like or want, you will do what you must. Like every Pack."
Leonora is next to me now, in her bright-orange bathing suit, her handbag shaped like an oversize plum made of shining purple stones, bristling with antlers and cheese chews.
"Tasha, what do we say to the Sh–Constantine?"
I feel her tighten in my arms, her head raised to me for help, but honestly, I have no idea what Leonora wants from her.
"He saved your life. What do you say?"
"I don' know," she wails.
"'Thank you,' Tasha. You say 'thank you.' Wolflings, I have said this over and over, but I can't emphasize how important it is. Humans are not Pack. There is no assumption of mutual support. A human may help another human or they may not. Because of this, there is always the expectation of gratitude. They will look very poorly on you if you do not say 'thank you' every time they perform any service, no matter how small or obvious."
Licking away the last of the water dripping into Tasha's eyes, I set her upright as the 8th emerges from behind the Great Hall, racing toward the water.
I lift my leg from Constantine's hand, but one finger catches on the loose threads at the hole of my jeans. I lean back down, letting him free himself, and immediately regret his absence. Water beads on his hair and on his face, dripping down to collect in the notch of his collarbone, and I am suddenly, unaccountably thirsty.
"They're coming." He opens his mouth to say something to me, but whatever it is, there is no time to say it before Arne and other wolves of the 8th charge the length of the dock. At the end, they leap, paws extended, noses to the sky, before dropping with an unceremonious splat against the water.
Other wolves walk more daintily into the water's edge.
Constantine's sopping flannel shirt lands on the side of the deck with a damp splat, followed quickly by his pants. His hair swirls against his broad shoulders. He leans back, his throat long and exposed, the striations of the muscles of his chest glistening in the water. Upright once more, his hair smoothed back, he watches the children jump or wade in, all of them paddling around. It's the littlest ones, the ones who aren't used to the tiny squat noses, so unlike the longer muzzles, who have so much difficulty keeping themselves above water. There is a lot of coughing and flailing, but only for the moments it takes for an adult to swim closer. Then little fists curl around the long guard hairs and they lean their heads into the fur, their unfamiliar bodies swaying to the rhythm of their protector's strokes.
Constantine swims around them, sleek and muscular, strong and fast, making ever-widening loops. He's not guarding them anymore, not watching. He's just a shining hint of gold and dark heading out into the middle of Home Pond.
With a ferret-quick twist, he turns his body, spreads out his arms, and floats, far removed from everything.
"Should I send Arne?" Leonora says. "Before he gets too far."
I raise my hand. Wait.
I stare after him.
Come back. Stay there. Show me how. Help me.
Where is this coming from? He's an interloper, an outsider. He has no purpose in the Pack. I must choose someone like Poul. Or maybe Lorcan. Let them fight it out for cunnan-riht. For fucking rights. Between the two of them, it's a rock and a hard place. A pot and a kettle.
John was my friend. We knew each other. I trusted him, and when he died, my heart shriveled and dried. Why is it when this, this. . . this Shifter looks at me, touches me, I feel just how parched I have become?
Lifting his head from the water, he combs his hair out of eyes with long fingers. He looks around like he's only now realizing how far he's gone. Catching my eyes, he starts back with a slow and exaggerated stroke, coming for me.

SEASON OF THE WOLF by Maria Vale
Legend of All Wolves #4
In a world of danger and uncertainty, the Alpha has enough to worry about without him…
For Alpha Evie Kitwanasdottir, things are never easy. The Great North Pack has just survived a deadly attack. Evie is determined to do whatever is necessary to keep her Pack safe, especially from the four Shifters who are their prisoners.
Constantine lost his parents and his humanity on the same devastating day. He has been a thoughtless killer ever since. When Constantine is moved to live under Evie's watchful eye, he discovers that taking directions and having a purpose are not the same thing.
Each moment spent together brings new revelations to Constantine, who begins to understand the loneliness of being Alpha. He finds strength and direction in helping Evie, but there is no room for a small love in the Pack, so Constantine must work harder than ever to prove to Evie he is capable of a love big enough for the Great North Pack itself.
