Hongdae is named after the area around Hongik University and that tells me everything I need to know: this is college town central.
More alive at night than in the day, it’s teeming with cafés (look for Sangsu-dong Café Street), and clubs (on which there are many on the so-named Club Street).
Plenty of street art to be found here because Hongdae is the hub of all things indy and expressing one’s individuality.
It seems strange at first, admittedly, the idea of eating ribs with cheese; but once I try it, I wonder why it took me so long. At popular James Cheese & Back Ribs, they take this idea and run with it to great success.
We have two orders of ribs and kimchi rice. The table is set up with a portable burner on which a cast-iron platter is placed. Even uncooked, it mesmerizes, the half-cooked ribs’ sticky, ochre coating glistens and the shreds of mozzarella wait expectantly.
The restaurant is small but supremely hip as you can see in the photo’s background. Our bleached blond server makes quick work of the mozzarella – mixing, lifting, and stretching it out until it’s one stretchy, mouthwatering mass.
The scissors provided are helpful in ways that a knife never will be. We wrap strips of mozzarella around each rib, a mouthful makes for a most scintillating encounter; appetites stoked by the sight of soft meat, melting cheese. The corn and omelet side dishes are added curiosities that are equally delicious.
My Bin and I eat, enraptured.
When there’s nothing left of the meat, the server returns with a bowl of kimchi rice. Whatever is left of the cheese is mixed with it, and an egg is tossed in to further flavor and lubricate the fiery mess. Too good.
Gangnam is gargantuan and jam-packed. A frenetic energy pervades, and the city girl in me is giddy. It’s remarkable how visiting a foreign city again cements its place in my heart.
The big buildings beckon, beacons of commerce and wealth. Somewhere in my head, I hear Psy singing the soundtrack to this “Opa Gangnam style!” lifestyle.
Gangnam nightlife. Ahhh, where shall we eat tonight?
My obligatory intersection shot showcasing a street pulsing with people.
Sometimes we feel the need to escape from the frenzy on the surface so we duck down below to the underground shopping center at Gangnam station. Oddly, it’s as fevered and wild down here as it is up there. So we go with the flow, and what else: shop.
One of our new discoveries on this trip is Yoogane, a restaurant specializing in dak galbi. Essentially a stir-fried dish of diced chicken in a gochujang-based sauce, lots of fun ingredients are tossed in for variation and customization.
A massive metal cover surrounds the hot plate to avoid splatters. In goes the scallions, onions, gochujang, and my beloved tteok (rice cakes).
Garlic, rice, and seaweed join the stir-fry party.
Mix! (say three times, fast).
As my Bin and I learn from our meal at James Cheese & Back Ribs, there’s very little that can’t be improved with more mozzarella.
… flips the mixture over: voila! Melted cheese rice! My Bin and I descend upon the dish, our greed feeding our hunger brought on by hours spent exploring Gangnam. Much a melding of soft (rice, tteok, cheese, minced chicken), there’s a current of spice running throughout that satisfies and makes us want more… until there’s nothing left except some crisp crumbs clinging to the pan.
They say that Hongdae is where all the student-artists hang out but Samcheongdong is where all the successful ones end up. The proliferation of art galleries attests to this but the area is so peaceful and genteel. I highly recommend coming here if you want a few hours of quiet exploration. There are boutiques and cafés aplenty.
Nearby is the Bukchon Hanok Village where 900 hanok are situated. Traditional Korean homes with tiled roofs and varied wall patterns, passing through this area harks back to a more tranquil time. It’s an unexpected pleasure to get lost here.
…before you walk down again.
In the midst of the hanok village is a place serving tea and for me, my favorite hot red bean porridge. As my Bin and I sip and savor, time seems to stand still. Our trip is coming to an end and we can’t help but marvel at how we’ve fallen in love with Seoul. Again.
A final meal of bulgogi and assorted other Korean barbeques before we head off to the airport.
From the Hongik University stop, leave the station from Exit 7 and turn right. Walk less than 50 meters and the restaurant will be on the right. After you eat, turn right from the restaurant and keep walking until you hit the Hongdae Shopping Street.

its so nice to have you back where you belong….

The day is drawing near when the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church will celebrate the fourth centenary of the union between the Bishops of the Metropolia of Kievan Rus' and the Apostolic See. The union was effected at the meeting of representatives of the Metropolia of Kiev with the Pope on 23 December 1595 and was solemnly proclaimed at Brest-Litovsk on the River Bug on 16 October 1596. Pope Clement VIII, in the Apostolic Constitution Magnus Dominus et laudabilis nimis,1 announced the union to the whole Church and in the Apostolic Letter Benedictus sit Pastor2 he addressed the Bishops of the Metropolia, informing them that the union had taken place.
The Union of Brest opened a new page in the history of the Greek Catholic Church in Ukraine.4 Today that Church wishes to sing with joy a hymn of thanksgiving and praise to the One who, once more, has brought it back from death to life, and it wishes to set forth with renewed enthusiasm on the path marked out by the Second Vatican Council.
Joining the faithful of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church in this thanksgiving and petition are the Greek Catholic Churches of the diaspora which date back to the Union of Brest, together with the other Eastern Catholic Churches and the entire Church.
As the Bishop of Rome, I too wish to unite myself to the Catholics of the Byzantine tradition in those lands. For many years, during my pastoral ministry in Poland, I sensed a physical as well as a spiritual closeness with that Church, which was then undergoing such difficult trials. After my election to the See of Peter, I considered it a pressing duty, following the example of my Predecessors, to speak out in defence of its right to exist and freely to profess its faith, at a time when both these rights were being denied. I now have the privilege of joyfully sharing in its celebration of these days of regained freedom.
2. The celebrations commemorating the Union of Brest must be seen in the context of the Millennium of the Baptism of the Rus'. Seven years ago, in 1988, that event was celebrated with great solemnity. For the occasion I published two documents: the Apostolic Letter Euntes in mundum of 25 January 1988,5 for the whole Church, and the Message Magnum Baptismi donum, of 14 February of the same year,6 addressed to Ukrainian Catholics. It was an occasion for celebrating a moment of fundamental importance for the Christian and cultural identity of those peoples, a moment of unique significance, since at that time the Churches of the Byzantine tradition and the Church of Rome were still living in full communion.
After the division which damaged the unity between the West and the Byzantine East, frequent and intense efforts were made to restore full communion. I wish to mention two particularly significant events: the Second Council of Lyons in 1274, and above all the Council of Florence in 1439, when protocols of union with the Eastern Churches were signed. Unfortunately, various causes prevented the promise and potential of those agreements from being realized.
The Bishops of the Metropolia of Kiev, in restoring communion with Rome, made explicit reference to the decisions of the Council of Florence, a Council which had numbered among its participants representatives from the Patriarchate of Constantinople.
In this context, the figure of Metropolitan Isidore of Kiev stands out. As a faithful interpreter and defender of the decisions of that Council, he had to endure exile for his convictions.
The Bishops who promoted the union and the members of their Church retained a lively awareness of their original close ties to their Orthodox brethren, together with a full consciousness of the Oriental identity of their Metropolia, an identity which was also to be upheld after the union. In the history of the Catholic Church, it is a highly significant fact that this just desire was respected and that the act of union did not involve passing over to the Latin tradition, as some thought would happen. Their Church saw an acknowledgment of its right to be governed by its own hierarchy with a specific discipline and to maintain its Eastern liturgical and spiritual heritage.
3. After the union, the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church enjoyed a period in which its ecclesiastical structures flourished, with resulting benefits for religious life, the education of the clergy and the spiritual commitment of the faithful. With remarkable farsightedness, great importance was attached to education. Thanks to the valuable contribution of the Basilian Order and other Religious Congregations, there was a great growth in the study of the sacred sciences and the nation's culture. In the present century, a figure of extraordinary prestige, in this regard as well as in his witness of suffering borne for Christ, was Metropolitan Andrii Sheptyckyi, whose education and fine spiritual qualities were combined with outstanding organizational gifts. He founded schools and academies, supported theological studies and the human sciences, the press and sacred art, and sought to preserve historical memories.
And yet, all this ecclesial vitality was continually marked by the tragedy of misunderstanding and opposition. An illustrious victim in this regard was the Archbishop of Polock and Vitebsk, Josaphat Kuntsevych, whose martyrdom merited the unfading crown of eternal glory. His body now lies in the Vatican Basilica, where it is continuously venerated with devotion and gratitude by Catholics from throughout the world.
Outstanding among the heroic witnesses to the rights not only of the faith but also of human conscience in those difficult years is the figure of Metropolitan Josyf Slipyj: his courage in enduring exile and prison for 18 years and his indomitable confidence in the resurrection of his Church make him one of the most powerful figures among the confessors of the faith in our time. Nor should his many companions in punishment be forgotten, particularly Bishops Hryhory Khomyshyn and Josaphat Kocylowskyj.
These tempestuous events shook the Church in the homeland to its roots. But Divine Providence had already begun to make it possible for many of its members to find a way of escape for themselves and their people. From the beginning of the 19th century onwards, great waves of emigrants began to cross the ocean, settling above all in Canada, the United States of America, Brazil, Argentina and Australia. The Holy See took care to be close to them, by providing assistance and establishing pastoral structures for them in their new homes, including the establishment of their own Eparchies. At the time of trial, during the atheistic persecution in their native land, the voice of these believers could thus be raised, in full freedom, with strength and courage. In the international forum they defended the right of their persecuted brethren to religious freedom, and thus strengthened the Second Vatican Council's appeal for religious freedom,8 and the efforts made in this regard by the Holy See.
4. The whole Catholic Community recalls with deep emotion the victims of such great suffering: the martyrs and confessors of the faith of the Church in Ukraine offer us a magnificent lesson in fidelity even at the price of life itself. And we, the favoured witnesses of their sacrifice, are aware that they helped to maintain the dignity of a world which seemed overwhelmed by atrocities. They knew the truth, and the truth set them free. Christians in Europe and throughout the world, pausing in prayer before the concentration camps and prisons, should be grateful for the light which they gave: it was the light of Christ, which they caused to shine in the darkness. For long years the darkness seemed in the eyes of the world to prevail, but it was not able to extinguish that light, which was the light of God and the light of man, wounded but not laid low.
This inheritance of suffering and glory today stands at a historic crossroads: now that the chains of imprisonment have been broken, the Greek Catholic Church in Ukraine has begun again to breathe in freedom and to regain fully its own active role in the Church and in history. This task, difficult yet providential, today calls for particular reflection, that it may be carried out with wisdom and farsightedness.
5. The celebration of the Union of Brest should be lived and interpreted in the light of the teachings of the Second Vatican Council. This is perhaps the most important aspect for understanding the significance of the anniversary.
It is well known that the Second Vatican Council made a special point of studying the mystery of the Church, and that one of the most important documents which it produced was the Constitution Lumen gentium. Precisely because of this detailed study the Council takes on a particular ecumenical significance. This is confirmed by the Decree Unitatis redintegratio, which presents a very enlightened programme of activities to be carried out in the work for Christian unity. Thirty years after the conclusion of the Council, I wished to reiterate this programme with my Encyclical Letter Ut unum sint, published on 25 May of this year.9 This Encyclical traces the ecumenical progress which has been made since the Second Vatican Council and, at the same time, looking to the third millennium of the Christian era, it seeks to open up new possibilities for the future.
Putting the celebrations of the coming year in the context of a reflection on the Church, as proposed by the Council, I am anxious above all to encourage a deeper understanding of the proper role which the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church is called to play today in the ecumenical movement.
To promote dialogue with the Byzantine Orthodox Churches, there was set up, after the Second Vatican Council, a special Mixed Commission which also included among its members representatives of the Eastern Catholic Churches.
In various documents efforts have been made to arrive at a deeper and greater understanding between the Orthodox Churches and the Eastern Catholic Churches, efforts which have not been without positive results. In my Apostolic Letter Orientale lumen11 and in my Encyclical Letter Ut unum sint12 I have already written of the elements of sanctification and truth13 common to Eastern and Western Christianity, and of the desirable path to follow in the search for full communion between the Catholic Church and the Orthodox Churches, in the light of the greater ecclesiological understanding brought about by the Second Vatican Council: "Today we know that unity can be achieved through the love of God only if the Churches want it together, in full respect for the traditions of each and for necessary autonomy. We know that this can take place only on the basis of the love of Churches which feel increasingly called to manifest the one Church of Christ, born from one Baptism and from one Eucharist, and which want to be sisters".14 The deepening of knowledge of the doctrine on the Church, brought about by the Council and continuing since the Council, has marked out what can be called a new path on the journey to unity: the path of the dialogue of truth nourished and sustained by the dialogue of charity (cf. Eph 4: 15).
7. The shift from an underground existence has meant a radical change in the situation of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church: this Church has found itself facing the grave problems of rebuilding the structures of which it had been completely deprived and, more generally, it has had to commit itself to rediscovering itself fully, not only from within, but also in relation to the other Churches.
Thanks be to God for having enabled it to celebrate this jubilee with religious freedom regained. Thanks be to God also for the growth of the dialogue of charity, whereby significant progress has been made on the road to the much desired reconciliation with the Orthodox Churches.
Numerous migrations and deportations have redrawn the religious geography of those lands; many years of official State atheism have profoundly affected people's minds; there is still not enough clergy to respond to the immense needs of religious and moral reconstruction: these are some of the more dramatic challenges facing all of the Churches.
In the face of these difficulties a common witness of charity is required, in order that the proclamation of the Gospel may not be impeded. As I said in my Apostolic Letter Orientale lumen, "today we can co-operate in proclaiming the Kingdom or we can become the upholders of new divisions".15 May the Lord guide our feet into the way of peace.
8. In the new-found freedom we cannot forget the persecution and martyrdom which the Churches of that region, both Catholic and Orthodox, suffered in their own flesh. This is an important aspect for the Church of all times, as I recalled in my Apostolic Letter Tertio millennio adveniente.16 It concerns a particularly significant heritage of the Churches of Europe, which remain profoundly marked by it: this needs to be studied in the light of the Word of God.
Remembrance of the martyrs cannot be erased from the memory of the Church or of humanity: whether victims of the ideologies of the East or of the West, all of them are brought together in fellowship by the violence whereby hatred for the faith violated the dignity of the human person, created by God "in his image and likeness".
Pope John XXIII was fond of repeating: "What unites us is much greater than what divides us". I am convinced that this attitude can be a great benefit to all the Churches. More than 30 years have gone by since the Pope made this statement. In this period of time there have been many indications which suggest to us that Christians have made progress in this direction. Eloquent signs of this progress have been the fraternal meetings between Pope Paul VI and the Ecumenical Patriarch Athenagoras I, and those which I myself have had with the Ecumenical Patriarchs Dimitrios and, more recently, Bartholomaios, and with other venerable Patriarchs of the Churches of the East. All this, together with the many initiatives involving meetings and dialogue which are being promoted everywhere in the Church, encourages us to have hope: the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of unity, does not cease to work among Christians still separated from one another.
And yet human weakness and sin continue to resist the Spirit of unity. Sometimes one even has the impression that there are forces ready to do almost anything in order to slow down, and even put an end to, the movement towards Christian unity. But we cannot give in: daily we must find the courage and strength, which at one and the same time are the gift of the Spirit and the result of human effort, to continue on the path already undertaken.
10. In recalling the Union of Brest we must ask ourselves what this event means today. It was a union which concerned only a particular geographical region, but it is relevant for the entire field of ecumenism. The Eastern Catholic Churches can make a very important contribution to ecumenism. The Council's Decree Orientalium Ecclesiarum reminds us that "the Eastern Churches in communion with the Apostolic See of Rome have a special role to play in promoting the unity of all Christians, particularly Easterners, according to the principles of this sacred Synod's Decree on Ecumenism: first of all by prayer, then by the example of their lives, by religious fidelity to ancient Eastern traditions, by greater mutual knowledge, by collaboration, and by a brotherly regard for objects and attitudes".20 From this it follows that Eastern Catholics are to commit themselves to living profoundly what the Decree lays out. They are asked to make a confession of faith full of humility and gratitude to the Holy Spirit, who guides the Church towards the fulfilment promised her by the Redeemer of the world.
11. Prayer will therefore be the fundamental element which should mark the celebration of this jubilee. Such prayer above all involves giving thanks for all that has been accomplished, down the centuries, by commitment to the Church's unity, and especially for the impulse given to the search for unity as a result of the Second Vatican Council.
This prayer is one of thanksgiving to the Lord, who guides the unfolding of history, for the situation of new-found religious freedom in which this jubilee is being celebrated. It is also an appeal to the Spirit-Paraclete, that he may cause to flourish everything which promotes unity, and may give courage and strength to all those who commit themselves, according to the guidelines of the Council's Decree Unitatis redintegratio, to this work blessed by God. It is a plea for the gift of brotherly love, and for the forgiveness of offences and injustices suffered in the course of history. It is a petition that the power of the living God will bring good even out of the cruel and many-faceted evil caused by acts of human malice. This prayer also expresses hope for the future of the ecumenical journey: the power of God is greater than all human weaknesses, whether old or new. If this jubilee of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, on the threshold of the third millennium, marks a step forward towards full Christian unity, this result will be first of all the work of the Holy Spirit.
12. The jubilee celebrations should also be a time of reflection. The Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church must first of all ask itself what full communion with the Apostolic See meant for it in the past, and what it will mean for it in the future. In a spirit of humble thanksgiving, the Greek Catholic Church will give glory to God, for its heroic fidelity to the Successor of Peter and, under the action of the Holy Spirit, it will understand that today this same fidelity commits it to fostering the unity of all the Churches. This fidelity cost it sufferings and martyrdom in the past: this is a sacrifice offered to God in order to implore the hoped-for union.
13. We cannot fail to entrust the yearning for full Christian unity to the Mother of Christ, she who is ever present in the work of the Lord and of his Church. Chapter Eight of the Dogmatic Constitution Lumen gentium points to her as the one who goes before us on our earthly pilgrimage of faith and is tenderly present to the Church which, at the end of the second millennium, is working to re-establish among all those who believe in Christ that unity which the Lord wills for them. Because she is the Mother of the one Christ, she is the Mother of unity. Since Mary, by the power of the Holy Spirit, gave birth to the Son of God, who received from her his human body, she ardently wills the visible unity of all believers who make up the Mystical Body of Christ. The veneration of Mary, which unites East and West so intimately, will serve, I am convinced, the cause of unity.
The Most Holy Virgin, already present everywhere in our midst both in so many sacred buildings and in the life of faith of so many families continuously speaks of unity, a unity for which she constantly intercedes. If today, in commemorating the Union of Brest, we recall the marvellous wealth of veneration that the Christian people of the Ukraine have offered to the Mother of God, we cannot but draw from this admiration for the history, spirituality and prayer of those peoples the consequences for unity which are so closely linked to those treasures.
Mary, who has inspired in their trials fathers and mothers, young people, the sick and the aged; Mary, the column of fire capable of guiding so many martyrs of the faith, is certainly at work in preparing the hoped-for union of all Christians: in the light of this, the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church certainly has its own role to play.
To Mary the Church offers her thanks and asks her to make us share her concern for unity. With filial trust let us abandon ourselves to her, that we may be with her where God will be all in all.
To you, dear Brothers and Sisters, I impart my Apostolic Blessing.

The day is drawing near when the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church will celebrate the fourth centenary of the union between the Bishops of the Metropolia of Kievan Rus ' and the Apostolic See . The union was effected at the meeting of representatives of the Metropolia of Kiev with the Pope on 23 December 1595 and was solemnly proclaimed at Brest - Litovsk on the River Bug on 16 October 1596 . Pope Clement VIII , in the Apostolic Constitution Magnus Dominus et laudabilis nimis,1 announced the union to the whole Church and in the Apostolic Letter Benedictus sit Pastor2 he addressed the Bishops of the Metropolia , informing them that the union had taken place .
 The Union of Brest opened a new page in the history of the Greek Catholic Church in Ukraine.4 Today that Church wishes to sing with joy a hymn of thanksgiving and praise to the One who , once more , has brought it back from death to life , and it wishes to set forth with renewed enthusiasm on the path marked out by the Second Vatican Council .
 Joining the faithful of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church in this thanksgiving and petition are the Greek Catholic Churches of the diaspora which date back to the Union of Brest , together with the other Eastern Catholic Churches and the entire Church .
 As the Bishop of Rome , I too wish to unite myself to the Catholics of the Byzantine tradition in those lands . For many years , during my pastoral ministry in Poland , I sensed a physical as well as a spiritual closeness with that Church , which was then undergoing such difficult trials . After my election to the See of Peter , I considered it a pressing duty , following the example of my Predecessors , to speak out in defence of its right to exist and freely to profess its faith , at a time when both these rights were being denied . I now have the privilege of joyfully sharing in its celebration of these days of regained freedom .
 2 . The celebrations commemorating the Union of Brest must be seen in the context of the Millennium of the Baptism of the Rus ' . Seven years ago , in 1988 , that event was celebrated with great solemnity . For the occasion I published two documents : the Apostolic Letter Euntes in mundum of 25 January 1988,5 for the whole Church , and the Message Magnum Baptismi donum , of 14 February of the same year,6 addressed to Ukrainian Catholics . It was an occasion for celebrating a moment of fundamental importance for the Christian and cultural identity of those peoples , a moment of unique significance , since at that time the Churches of the Byzantine tradition and the Church of Rome were still living in full communion .
 After the division which damaged the unity between the West and the Byzantine East , frequent and intense efforts were made to restore full communion . I wish to mention two particularly significant events : the Second Council of Lyons in 1274 , and above all the Council of Florence in 1439 , when protocols of union with the Eastern Churches were signed . Unfortunately , various causes prevented the promise and potential of those agreements from being realized .
 The Bishops of the Metropolia of Kiev , in restoring communion with Rome , made explicit reference to the decisions of the Council of Florence , a Council which had numbered among its participants representatives from the Patriarchate of Constantinople .
 In this context , the figure of Metropolitan Isidore of Kiev stands out . As a faithful interpreter and defender of the decisions of that Council , he had to endure exile for his convictions .
 The Bishops who promoted the union and the members of their Church retained a lively awareness of their original close ties to their Orthodox brethren , together with a full consciousness of the Oriental identity of their Metropolia , an identity which was also to be upheld after the union . In the history of the Catholic Church , it is a highly significant fact that this just desire was respected and that the act of union did not involve passing over to the Latin tradition , as some thought would happen . Their Church saw an acknowledgment of its right to be governed by its own hierarchy with a specific discipline and to maintain its Eastern liturgical and spiritual heritage .
 3 . After the union , the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church enjoyed a period in which its ecclesiastical structures flourished , with resulting benefits for religious life , the education of the clergy and the spiritual commitment of the faithful . With remarkable farsightedness , great importance was attached to education . Thanks to the valuable contribution of the Basilian Order and other Religious Congregations , there was a great growth in the study of the sacred sciences and the nation 's culture . In the present century , a figure of extraordinary prestige , in this regard as well as in his witness of suffering borne for Christ , was Metropolitan Andrii Sheptyckyi , whose education and fine spiritual qualities were combined with outstanding organizational gifts . He founded schools and academies , supported theological studies and the human sciences , the press and sacred art , and sought to preserve historical memories .
 And yet , all this ecclesial vitality was continually marked by the tragedy of misunderstanding and opposition . An illustrious victim in this regard was the Archbishop of Polock and Vitebsk , Josaphat Kuntsevych , whose martyrdom merited the unfading crown of eternal glory . His body now lies in the Vatican Basilica , where it is continuously venerated with devotion and gratitude by Catholics from throughout the world .
 Outstanding among the heroic witnesses to the rights not only of the faith but also of human conscience in those difficult years is the figure of Metropolitan Josyf Slipyj : his courage in enduring exile and prison for 18 years and his indomitable confidence in the resurrection of his Church make him one of the most powerful figures among the confessors of the faith in our time . Nor should his many companions in punishment be forgotten , particularly Bishops Hryhory Khomyshyn and Josaphat Kocylowskyj .
 These tempestuous events shook the Church in the homeland to its roots . But Divine Providence had already begun to make it possible for many of its members to find a way of escape for themselves and their people . From the beginning of the 19th century onwards , great waves of emigrants began to cross the ocean , settling above all in Canada , the United States of America , Brazil , Argentina and Australia . The Holy See took care to be close to them , by providing assistance and establishing pastoral structures for them in their new homes , including the establishment of their own Eparchies . At the time of trial , during the atheistic persecution in their native land , the voice of these believers could thus be raised , in full freedom , with strength and courage . In the international forum they defended the right of their persecuted brethren to religious freedom , and thus strengthened the Second Vatican Council 's appeal for religious freedom,8 and the efforts made in this regard by the Holy See .
 4 . The whole Catholic Community recalls with deep emotion the victims of such great suffering : the martyrs and confessors of the faith of the Church in Ukraine offer us a magnificent lesson in fidelity even at the price of life itself . And we , the favoured witnesses of their sacrifice , are aware that they helped to maintain the dignity of a world which seemed overwhelmed by atrocities . They knew the truth , and the truth set them free . Christians in Europe and throughout the world , pausing in prayer before the concentration camps and prisons , should be grateful for the light which they gave : it was the light of Christ , which they caused to shine in the darkness . For long years the darkness seemed in the eyes of the world to prevail , but it was not able to extinguish that light , which was the light of God and the light of man , wounded but not laid low .
 This inheritance of suffering and glory today stands at a historic crossroads : now that the chains of imprisonment have been broken , the Greek Catholic Church in Ukraine has begun again to breathe in freedom and to regain fully its own active role in the Church and in history . This task , difficult yet providential , today calls for particular reflection , that it may be carried out with wisdom and farsightedness .
 5 . The celebration of the Union of Brest should be lived and interpreted in the light of the teachings of the Second Vatican Council . This is perhaps the most important aspect for understanding the significance of the anniversary .
 It is well known that the Second Vatican Council made a special point of studying the mystery of the Church , and that one of the most important documents which it produced was the Constitution Lumen gentium . Precisely because of this detailed study the Council takes on a particular ecumenical significance . This is confirmed by the Decree Unitatis redintegratio , which presents a very enlightened programme of activities to be carried out in the work for Christian unity . Thirty years after the conclusion of the Council , I wished to reiterate this programme with my Encyclical Letter Ut unum sint , published on 25 May of this year.9 This Encyclical traces the ecumenical progress which has been made since the Second Vatican Council and , at the same time , looking to the third millennium of the Christian era , it seeks to open up new possibilities for the future .
 Putting the celebrations of the coming year in the context of a reflection on the Church , as proposed by the Council , I am anxious above all to encourage a deeper understanding of the proper role which the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church is called to play today in the ecumenical movement .
 To promote dialogue with the Byzantine Orthodox Churches , there was set up , after the Second Vatican Council , a special Mixed Commission which also included among its members representatives of the Eastern Catholic Churches .
 In various documents efforts have been made to arrive at a deeper and greater understanding between the Orthodox Churches and the Eastern Catholic Churches , efforts which have not been without positive results . In my Apostolic Letter Orientale lumen11 and in my Encyclical Letter Ut unum sint12 I have already written of the elements of sanctification and truth13 common to Eastern and Western Christianity , and of the desirable path to follow in the search for full communion between the Catholic Church and the Orthodox Churches , in the light of the greater ecclesiological understanding brought about by the Second Vatican Council : " Today we know that unity can be achieved through the love of God only if the Churches want it together , in full respect for the traditions of each and for necessary autonomy . We know that this can take place only on the basis of the love of Churches which feel increasingly called to manifest the one Church of Christ , born from one Baptism and from one Eucharist , and which want to be sisters".14 The deepening of knowledge of the doctrine on the Church , brought about by the Council and continuing since the Council , has marked out what can be called a new path on the journey to unity : the path of the dialogue of truth nourished and sustained by the dialogue of charity ( cf . Eph 4 : 15 ) .
 7 . The shift from an underground existence has meant a radical change in the situation of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church : this Church has found itself facing the grave problems of rebuilding the structures of which it had been completely deprived and , more generally , it has had to commit itself to rediscovering itself fully , not only from within , but also in relation to the other Churches .
 Thanks be to God for having enabled it to celebrate this jubilee with religious freedom regained . Thanks be to God also for the growth of the dialogue of charity , whereby significant progress has been made on the road to the much desired reconciliation with the Orthodox Churches .
 Numerous migrations and deportations have redrawn the religious geography of those lands ; many years of official State atheism have profoundly affected people 's minds ; there is still not enough clergy to respond to the immense needs of religious and moral reconstruction : these are some of the more dramatic challenges facing all of the Churches .
 In the face of these difficulties a common witness of charity is required , in order that the proclamation of the Gospel may not be impeded . As I said in my Apostolic Letter Orientale lumen , " today we can co - operate in proclaiming the Kingdom or we can become the upholders of new divisions".15 May the Lord guide our feet into the way of peace .
 8 . In the new - found freedom we can not forget the persecution and martyrdom which the Churches of that region , both Catholic and Orthodox , suffered in their own flesh . This is an important aspect for the Church of all times , as I recalled in my Apostolic Letter Tertio millennio adveniente.16 It concerns a particularly significant heritage of the Churches of Europe , which remain profoundly marked by it : this needs to be studied in the light of the Word of God .
 Remembrance of the martyrs can not be erased from the memory of the Church or of humanity : whether victims of the ideologies of the East or of the West , all of them are brought together in fellowship by the violence whereby hatred for the faith violated the dignity of the human person , created by God " in his image and likeness " .
 Pope John XXIII was fond of repeating : " What unites us is much greater than what divides us " . I am convinced that this attitude can be a great benefit to all the Churches . More than 30 years have gone by since the Pope made this statement . In this period of time there have been many indications which suggest to us that Christians have made progress in this direction . Eloquent signs of this progress have been the fraternal meetings between Pope Paul VI and the Ecumenical Patriarch Athenagoras I , and those which I myself have had with the Ecumenical Patriarchs Dimitrios and , more recently , Bartholomaios , and with other venerable Patriarchs of the Churches of the East . All this , together with the many initiatives involving meetings and dialogue which are being promoted everywhere in the Church , encourages us to have hope : the Holy Spirit , the Spirit of unity , does not cease to work among Christians still separated from one another .
 And yet human weakness and sin continue to resist the Spirit of unity . Sometimes one even has the impression that there are forces ready to do almost anything in order to slow down , and even put an end to , the movement towards Christian unity . But we can not give in : daily we must find the courage and strength , which at one and the same time are the gift of the Spirit and the result of human effort , to continue on the path already undertaken .
 10 . In recalling the Union of Brest we must ask ourselves what this event means today . It was a union which concerned only a particular geographical region , but it is relevant for the entire field of ecumenism . The Eastern Catholic Churches can make a very important contribution to ecumenism . The Council 's Decree Orientalium Ecclesiarum reminds us that " the Eastern Churches in communion with the Apostolic See of Rome have a special role to play in promoting the unity of all Christians , particularly Easterners , according to the principles of this sacred Synod 's Decree on Ecumenism : first of all by prayer , then by the example of their lives , by religious fidelity to ancient Eastern traditions , by greater mutual knowledge , by collaboration , and by a brotherly regard for objects and attitudes".20 From this it follows that Eastern Catholics are to commit themselves to living profoundly what the Decree lays out . They are asked to make a confession of faith full of humility and gratitude to the Holy Spirit , who guides the Church towards the fulfilment promised her by the Redeemer of the world .
 11 . Prayer will therefore be the fundamental element which should mark the celebration of this jubilee . Such prayer above all involves giving thanks for all that has been accomplished , down the centuries , by commitment to the Church 's unity , and especially for the impulse given to the search for unity as a result of the Second Vatican Council .
 This prayer is one of thanksgiving to the Lord , who guides the unfolding of history , for the situation of new - found religious freedom in which this jubilee is being celebrated . It is also an appeal to the Spirit - Paraclete , that he may cause to flourish everything which promotes unity , and may give courage and strength to all those who commit themselves , according to the guidelines of the Council 's Decree Unitatis redintegratio , to this work blessed by God . It is a plea for the gift of brotherly love , and for the forgiveness of offences and injustices suffered in the course of history . It is a petition that the power of the living God will bring good even out of the cruel and many - faceted evil caused by acts of human malice . This prayer also expresses hope for the future of the ecumenical journey : the power of God is greater than all human weaknesses , whether old or new . If this jubilee of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church , on the threshold of the third millennium , marks a step forward towards full Christian unity , this result will be first of all the work of the Holy Spirit .
 12 . The jubilee celebrations should also be a time of reflection . The Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church must first of all ask itself what full communion with the Apostolic See meant for it in the past , and what it will mean for it in the future . In a spirit of humble thanksgiving , the Greek Catholic Church will give glory to God , for its heroic fidelity to the Successor of Peter and , under the action of the Holy Spirit , it will understand that today this same fidelity commits it to fostering the unity of all the Churches . This fidelity cost it sufferings and martyrdom in the past : this is a sacrifice offered to God in order to implore the hoped - for union .
 13 . We can not fail to entrust the yearning for full Christian unity to the Mother of Christ , she who is ever present in the work of the Lord and of his Church . Chapter Eight of the Dogmatic Constitution Lumen gentium points to her as the one who goes before us on our earthly pilgrimage of faith and is tenderly present to the Church which , at the end of the second millennium , is working to re - establish among all those who believe in Christ that unity which the Lord wills for them . Because she is the Mother of the one Christ , she is the Mother of unity . Since Mary , by the power of the Holy Spirit , gave birth to the Son of God , who received from her his human body , she ardently wills the visible unity of all believers who make up the Mystical Body of Christ . The veneration of Mary , which unites East and West so intimately , will serve , I am convinced , the cause of unity .
 The Most Holy Virgin , already present everywhere in our midst both in so many sacred buildings and in the life of faith of so many families continuously speaks of unity , a unity for which she constantly intercedes . If today , in commemorating the Union of Brest , we recall the marvellous wealth of veneration that the Christian people of the Ukraine have offered to the Mother of God , we can not but draw from this admiration for the history , spirituality and prayer of those peoples the consequences for unity which are so closely linked to those treasures .
 Mary , who has inspired in their trials fathers and mothers , young people , the sick and the aged ; Mary , the column of fire capable of guiding so many martyrs of the faith , is certainly at work in preparing the hoped - for union of all Christians : in the light of this , the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church certainly has its own role to play .
 To Mary the Church offers her thanks and asks her to make us share her concern for unity . With filial trust let us abandon ourselves to her , that we may be with her where God will be all in all .
 To you , dear Brothers and Sisters , I impart my Apostolic Blessing .

The ability to make decisions efficiently is an essential success factor for companies, regardless of the industry they are in. The faster a company is able to form shared views and rate ideas, the faster it can react and adapt to changes. As complexity increases, reaching decisions typically requires the input of various experts, which makes the decision making process slower. How to break bottle necks in decision making?
How to make decisions both collectively and as efficiently as possible? According to Juho Nevalainen, forming shared views becomes more efficient by using facilitation methods, by including only relevant people in the decision making process – and by rethinking the whole decision making forum, with the help of digital tools.
1. Split large decision items into smaller, human-sized decision points.
In general, it is easier to reach small decisions than bigger ones. Try to split large decision items into into smaller decision points that you bring to the table one by one, by choosing the suitable facilitation methods in advance. This way, lenghty meetings can be avoided and you will reach the decision sooner.
The step-by-step approach gives you concrete results along the way. You will be able to react to changes faster and see the big picture more easily.
2. Involve only the right people.
Reaching just the right decisions requires that the participants have a shared understanding on the matters – for example pros, cons, consequences, risks, opportunities and so on. If they do not, they will not commit themselves to the decision.
It is far easier to steer a smaller group of people than a bigger one. Make sure to involve only the people needed in each phase – do not invite anybody ”just in case”, not even to virtual meetings.
3. Instead of shared time, find a shared channel.
Often, finding the suitable calendar slot for the meeting takes more time than the decision item itself. Even when the meeting is set, the agenda might need to be reset as someone cancels at the last minute.
During the digital era, collaborative decision making does not need to depend on time or place. Thanks to new tools, busy key people can participate in the decision making no matter where they are located, when it suits them the best.
”In our daily work, we use an online service called Roundtable that brings together the best sides of faciliation methods and social media. It requires from the decision makers only a daily engagement of 15 minutes, whenever they have the time”, Nevalainen says.
Time and place-independent online tools make collaborative decision making more efficient and also bring down the costs, as potential travel expenses decrease. However, according to Nevalainen, professional facilitation, management skills and promoting trust can not be replaced by any tools. When the working environment feels safe, people are willing to share their expertise collectively and are more likely to reach good decisions – no matter what the decision forum is.

If you want to use a hand cursor (like web browsers use when the mouse is over a link) you either have to have Windows 2000 or above, or use a resource. [Yes, this is an old article, but it is kept in to demonstrate the technique] The trouble with resources is that you need to know the Resource ID and for the little classes offered on this site, that is not known. So this little class steals the Hand Cursor from a standard Win32 file and uses CopyCursor (and DeleteCursor) to create a local copy.
You can see it in use in the Web Link Button and MSN Message Window in this section.

Your business strategy is essentially everything when it comes to first setting up a business or forming a new business partnership. To say that the finest of details are crucial can be an understatement, and not knowing what is coming around the next couple corners can be folly. If you want to be successful, or at least not disastrous, you have to start thinking about strategy, objectives, and the means to get them now.
Create an overarching map: While it is critical that you pay attention to the fine print and little steps when setting up a business or partnership, it is just as important to see the forest for the trees, or keep an eye on the overall plan. Lay it all out in plain language for you to reference when matters get mixed up or complicated.
Choose your headquarters: Every business must operate from somewhere, even if it reaches its market strictly through online methods. Brush up on local trends and zoning laws to see where your home base should go. If you are creating a partnership, consider where your partners are located as well. Is it going to be a problem if you have to travel long distances for in-person meetings?
Organize your finances: Before you get too far into the process, triple-check your finances, get them in order, and know what money is going to go where and for what purpose. The fastest route to business failure is letting your finances run free. If you need help planning how you or your business partners will dedicate resources, consider hiring a business accountant.
Structure your business: Companies come in all shapes and sizes, whether you are going it alone or creating a partnership. Consider the benefits of LLCs, S corporations, nonprofit groups, and more before laying out the final groundwork of your business.
Name yourself: Arguably the simplest part of forming a business, registering a business name may also be the most important, especially if you are going to deal with consumers directly. Brand names are everything when a product is on a shelf or a service is listed online. Schedule some boardroom talks with any business partners to choose a business name that reflects your organization.
Taxes, insurance, and permits: If you do not need to pay taxes and obtain licenses or permits before opening your business, you are probably not in America. You will need to obtain a tax identification number and acquire necessary permits, and may need to purchase different forms of insurance for potential employees, such as workers’ compensation and disability.
Get help: You should be proud of the business or partnership you have created and managed, but not so much that your pride gets in the way of its success. If you need help understanding a legal issue that is affecting your business, seek it out sooner than later.
At Schern Richardson Finter Decker, our Phoenix business consultation lawyers can work closely with you as you form a business, establishing a working partnership, or manage your company to ensure you never overlook important aspects or make a legal error. We are backed by an AV Preeminent® Rating by Martindale-Hubbell® and have an attorney selected to Super Laywers® Rising Stars℠ on our team.

Gestational Diabetes Mellitus - Home Treatment.
Just like any type of diabetes, gestational diabetes needs more than medicine to get it treated successfully. It needs you, for you are the person who determines the health of your pregnancy.
Your registered dietitian, diabetes educator, your doctor and other members of your healthcare team can teach you about proper care for yourself and your baby so that both of you are protected from any complications that may arise. If you have all the necessary knowledge available on gestational diabetes, there can be no problem during and after your pregnancy. Once you know the effects of exercise and food on your blood glucose levels, you can avoid gestational diabetes complications.
Testing your blood glucose level, regular exercise and changes in the time, amount and types of food you eat are important in gestational diabetes home treatment.
Changing the type of food you eat, eating at regular times and the quantity consumed at each meal can ensure that your blood glucose level remain in a safe range. After your gestational diabetes diagnosis, a registered dietitian will help you to plan meals suitable for you. You may be required to keep a record of the foods you consume and your weight. Your dietitian will also show you how to carbohydrate counting so that you eat almost the same amount at each meal to reach a certain total at the end of each day.
Moderate exercise done regularly throughout the pregnancy improves the sensitivity of your body towards insulin and this helps blood glucose level control. Most of the time, eating the right foods and exercise are sufficient for gestational diabetes treatment. There should be a minimum of two and a half hours of moderate exercise each week. To accomplish this takes only 30 minutes of exercise each day for five days or more a week. You can even do 10 minute sessions so long as you get a total of 2Â½ hours each week.
For pregnant women who have been leading a sedentary life or have no regular exercise before pregnancy, they need to discuss with their doctor before any regular exercise. Suitable exercises for pregnant women are those that do not strain the lower part of the body. So, it is fine to exercise the arm muscles by using a machine known as the arm ergometer; or exercise the leg muscles by using a recumbent bike which has a chair-like seat that is suitable for women who are pregnant. There are also exercise classes especially for women who are pregnant. Walking and swimming are two low-impact exercises which are also suitable.
If it is possible for you to get your blood glucose to remain in the safe range through changes in your eating and exercise, it will not be necessary for you to take any diabetes medication. However, if you need insulin, keep ready with you some sugary food like 4 glucose tablets or some hard candy so that you can use them if you get low blood glucose symptoms such as confusion, blurred vision and sweating during exercise. If you believe your blood glucose level is too low, stop the activity, test your blood glucose level, and consume the sugary foods you have.
Doing home blood glucose level testing is a necessary part of gestational diabetes treatment. You will need to do blood glucose checking at home at least once every day. It can be tough when you have to check your blood glucose frequently but from such testing, you will know you have no need to worry as your blood glucose level is in the safe range. Find out from your doctor how often you should check your blood glucose.
Daily insulin injections may be necessary if your blood glucose level cannot be managed through exercising and the way you eat.
Do not attempt to reduce weight during pregnancy if you were already overweight before the pregnancy. Find out from your doctor the possible weight increase during your pregnancy.
You may be taught by your doctor to count the number of kicks by your baby. You are required to notify your doctor if there is less than the usual number of kicks from the baby.
Your blood glucose level can go lower than the safe range if you use insulin for your gestational diabetes. Although women with gestational diabetes seldom experience low blood glucose, you should know its symptoms and be prepared with sugary foods throughout the day.
