Straight Talk About The Catholic Teaching on Masturbation
The full Catholic teaching on masturbation seems to be a secret to most people.
It is a challenging teaching.
But because this teaching calls us to live in a fully human way, it’s good news!
“Is masturbation wrong?”
Yes. The Catholic teaching on masturbation says that masturbation is always morally wrong.
Sex is intended to be both an expression of love for your spouse, and a beautiful means of procreation.
Sex is so special, powerful, and valuable that it is properly used only within marriage. If you’re not married, you should abstain from sexual activity.
I know: this is all very counter-cultural.
The truth sometimes is!
Sex is the ultimate gift husbands and wives can give: a total gift of self, body and soul. Sex is how you fulfill your wedding vows to love totally, freely, and completely. As long as you both shall live. The secret of life is hidden in that intimate sharing.
The Catholic teaching on masturbation says that masturbation denies every aspect of that promise of sex — of that promise of your vows!
Masturbation is:
- Focused on yourself
- A withholding from your spouse
- A statement that sex is only about pleasure — your own pleasure
- Inherently sterile
- Often accompanied by “adultery in your heart” through pornography and fantasy
Catholics don’t condemn masturbation just because of some lofty idea of what the natural purpose of sex is. We speak the truth about the harm it does to people.
That is the true reason for the Catholic teaching on masturbation: it denies the meaning of sex. It makes you less than fully human.
“But everyone else says masturbation is healthy!”
Yes, they do.
The world has a way of saying that a lot of disordered things are “good”.
Masturbation is radically self-centered, and radically un-Christian. That’s why the Catholic teaching on masturbation says it’s wrong. It turns us and our sexuality away from God and toward ourselves by:
- Training our sexuality in the habit of self-indulgence, not self-giving
- Divorcing the pleasure of orgasm from union with the “other”, your spouse
- Turning away from the risks of loving another
- Refusing fertility & the full responsibility of sex
I know — many educators and health professionals seem to be having a love affair with self-centered, self-indulgent sexuality. Why that is, I don’t know.
They’re wrong. They’re not telling you the truth about sex, about yourself, or about life.
You and your sexuality are worth more than you can imagine.
The Catholic teaching on masturbation is centered on a virtue called chastity. It means giving sexuality its proper place in our lives. Not snuffing it out, but not giving it free reign. A proper place. Chastity is one of the Fruits of the Holy Spirit. (See Catechism, 2337 - 2359)
The deep truth of the Catholic teaching on masturbation is confirmed by the enormous damage this so-called “private” act causes in people’s lives and marriages. Large numbers of men and women are starting to name their habit of masturbation for what it is: sexual addiction.
If we tell our teens that masturbation is normal and healthy, we’re setting them up with a habit that can yield a lifetime of difficulty. We’re telling them that self-indulgence and lack of self-control are positive things. This cannot form a strong foundation for mature, loving sexuality.
How is that either loving or healthy?
Freedom & responsibility
This talk of habit raises an important point: when is masturbation a sin? And how bad a sin is it?
The Catholic teaching on masturbation says that masturbation is a grave sin, what we call a mortal sin, by which we reject God’s offer of life.
However, Catholic morality also acknowledges that the force of habit can reduce or even eliminate our responsibility for our actions.
- We have to freely consent in order to be fully responsible.
- If a habit makes something less than a free choice, it also reduces our responsibility for our actions.
This does not give us free reign if we just call something a habit! Sinful actions still harm us greatly, even if we may not be fully charged with the guilt of committing them.
We have a responsibility to seek help and diligently strive to overcome our habits.
The Lord is patient & merciful. He desperately wants to free us from the slavery of sin. But we have to do our part, too.
If you think you’re trapped in the habit of masturbation or one of its close cousins (pornography, infidelity, prostitution, etc.), seek the competent help of a priest who supports the Church’s sexual morality, and specifically the Catholic teaching on masturbation. (Don’t be shy! They’ve heard it all before. Sadly, it’s quite common.)
“Does the Catholic teaching on masturbation say we should repress our sexuality?”
There’s a difference between repression and self-control.
Repression means to “stuff” those feelings down when they arise, denying them and wishing they weren’t there.
Repression doesn’t work. Many people try this route and fail.
Self-control is different.  That’s called being free! If you’re a slave to your urges (sexual or otherwise), you’re not free.
The key to this is to redeem our sexuality, not to repress it. Christopher West makes this point about the Catholic teaching on masturbation in Good News About Sex and Marriage:
When sexual feelings, desires, and temptations present themselves, as they inevitably do, instead of trying to ignore them or “stuff” them by pushing them down and under, we need to bring them up and out. Not up and out in the sense of indulging them, but up and out and into the hands of Christ our Redeemer.  Please undo in me what sin has done so that I might know freedom in this area and experience sexual desire as you intend. Amen._ The more we invite Christ into our passions and desires and allow him to purify them, the more we find we’re able to exercise proper control of them. And we begin more and more to experience our sexuality, not as the desire for selfish gratification but as the desire to give ourselves away in imitation of Christ. This is what redemption is all about. (_Good News About Sex and Marriage_, p.81)
The Catholic teaching on masturbation reminds us that we need to redeem our self-centered, disordered desires.
It’s a matter of bringing our disorders to Christ, naming them for what they are, and letting Christ heal us. We experience that healing as the gradual increase of self-control.
It is possible.
You’re worth far too much to live according to a lie about yourself. For your freedom was bought at a great price: the price of the blood of Christ.
So go on: Let yourself be redeemed. Live in the “glorious freedom of the children of God” (Rom 8:21).
Alleluia!
The Couple to Couple League website has a wonderful pastoral letter about chastity written in 2004 by Bishop Martino of the Diocese of Scranton, PA. It provides good background about sexuality in general, as well as the Catholic teaching on masturbation (opens in a new window).
This article is one of a set about Christian sex. All are part of this website’s section on Catholic morality.

Originally from Philadelphia, PA. Currently residing in Seattle, WA. I am brand new to tech and excited. This blog will truly outline each of the major steps I took in learning what it takes to be a competent developer.


--- layout: post title: jTidy with no temp files tags: [] status: publish type: post published: true meta: {} --- Well I had been hoping that someone would come up with a neater way of using jTidy and Mark Woods did(check out his CMS is you have a moment). He dropped me a line today outlining how he built a custom tag that calls a class. Based on his tag I modified my function to dispense with creating the temporary files and rather use a ByteArrayInputStream and a ByteArrayOutputStream. All I needed to then do was find an example of using ByteArrayInputStream and ByteOutputStream and the code was complete.
...outx is a ByteArrayOutputStream which BlueDragon doesn't automatically treat as a String.So by simply adding outstr = outx.toString();, before stripping the output of it's HTML header, the problem was resolved. Thanks Andrew! The code has been update accordingly. <cffunction name="makexHTMLValid" displayname="Tidy parser" hint="Takes a string as an argument and returns parsed and valid xHTML" output="true"> <cfargument name="strToParse" required="true" type="string" default="" /> <cfscript> /** * This function reads in a string, checks and corrects any invalid HTML. * By Greg Stewart * * @param strToParse The string to parse (will be written to file). * accessible from the web browser * @return returnPart * @author Greg Stewart (gregs(at)tcias.co.uk) * @version 1, August 22, 2004 * @version 1.1, September 09, 2004 * with the help of Mark Woods this UDF no longer requires temp files and only accepts * the string to parse */ var returnPart = ""; // return variable parseData = trim(arguments.strToParse); // jTidy part // BD free version pathToTidy = "/usr/local/NewAtlanta/BlueDragon_Server_61/lib/ext/Tidy.jar"; // Create an instance of java.net.URL for passing to the URLClassLoader URLObject = createObject('java','java.net.URL'); // Initialize the object with the jar file URLObject.init("file:" & pathToTidy); // Create an Array and add our URLObject to it arr[1] = urlobject; // Create and the URLClassLoader and pass it the array containing our path loader = createObject('java','java.net.URLClassLoader'); loader.init(arr); // Use our new class loader to load the DOMConfigurator class jTidy = loader.loadClass("org.w3c.tidy.Tidy").newInstance(); // CFMX/J2EE // jTidy = createObject("java","org.w3c.tidy.Tidy"); jTidy.setQuiet(false); jTidy.setIndentContent(true); jTidy.setSmartIndent(true); jTidy.setIndentAttributes(true); jTidy.setWraplen(1024); jTidy.setXHTML(true); // create the in and out streams for jTidy readBuffer = CreateObject("java","java.lang.String").init(parseData).getBytes(); inP = createobject("java","java.io.ByteArrayInputStream").init(readBuffer); //ByteArrayOutputStream outx = createObject("java", "java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream").init(); // do the parsing jTidy.parse(inP,outx); // close the stream // outx.close(); outstr = outx.toString(); // ok now strip all the header/body stuff startPos = REFind("<body>", outstr)+6; endPos = REFind("</body>", outstr); returnPart = Mid(outstr, startPos, endPos-startPos); </cfscript> <cfreturn returnPart /> </cffunction>

Road to $5 trillion economy: Uday Kotak feels tackling these 3 challenges key
Kotak was speaking at the CII Financial Market Summit 2019.
India has moved a long way from the traditional banking model of saver and borrower to the market model of issuer and investor.
However, Uday Kotak Managing Director & CEO, Kotak Mahindra Bank Ltd, believes that these two models co-exist in India and there is a need to have a holistic view in policymaking to ensure challenges are effectively dealt with.
He was speaking at the CII Financial Market Summit 2019. The theme of the event was 'India @ 2024: $5 trillion economy and Indian Financial Markets'.
"Of the three key areas we are currently dealing with, the combination of saver-borrower, issuer-investor model is one. Second is the challenge to manage the objectives of the nation state of 1.33 billion people and challenges of free markets. Third is broader financial sector holistic view, which builds policy for a sector as a whole. Both entry and exit should be done with controlled disruption because the multiplier effects of exit not handled is significantly higher," Kotak said.
Kotak said growth has to happen in real world and the financial sector neds to act as a key catalyst.
"Markets need competition and there is an essential need to ensure exits in a controlled and disruptive way," he said.
He concluded his speech by saying mortality is a way of life in markets too and policy frameworks have to be geared up for that.


Latent Dirichlet allocation¶
This documentation refers to this link: Wikipedia
- In natural language processing, latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) is a generative statistical model that allows sets of observations to be explained by unobserved groups that explain why some parts of the data are similar.
- For example, if observations are words collected into documents, it posits that each document is a mixture of a small number of topics and that each word’s creation is attributable to one of the document’s topics.
- LDA is an example of a topic model and was first presented as a graphical model for topic discovery by David Blei, Andrew Ng, and Michael I. Jordan in 2003.
- http://jmlr.csail.mit.edu/papers/v3/blei03a.html
Topics¶
- In LDA, each document may be viewed as a mixture of various topics.
- For example, an LDA model might have topics that can be classified as CAT_related and DOG_related.
- A topic has probabilities of generating various words, such as milk, meow, and kitten, which can be classified and interpreted by the viewer as “CAT_related”.
- The DOG_related topic likewise has probabilities of generating each word: puppy, bark, and bone might have high probability.
- A topic is not strongly defined, neither semantically nor epistemologically. It is identified on the basis of supervised labeling and (manual) pruning on the basis of their likelihood of co-occurrence.
- A lexical word may occur in several topics with a different probability, however, with a different typical set of neighboring words in each topic.
- Each document is assumed to be characterized by a particular set of topics. This is akin to the standard bag of words model assumption, and makes the individual words exchangeable.
Model¶
- With plate notation, the dependencies among the many variables can be captured concisely. The boxes are “plates” representing replicates. The outer plate represents documents, while the inner plate represents the repeated choice of topics and words within a document. M denotes the number of documents, N the number of words in a document.
Thus:
- α is the parameter of the Dirichlet prior on the per-document topic distributions,
- β is the parameter of the Dirichlet prior on the per-topic word distribution,
- \(\theta_{i}\) is the topic distribution for document i,
- \(\varphi_{k}\) is the word distribution for topic k,
- \(z_{ij}\) is the topic for the jth word in document i,
- \(w_{ij}\) is the specific word.
The \(w_{ij}\) are the only observable variables, and the other variables are latent variables.


Given a value N
, if we want to make change for N
cents, and we have infinite supply of each of S = {S1, S2, .. , Sm}
valued coins, how many ways can we make the change? The order of coins doesn’t matter.
Let the dp[i]
be the length of the coin change of prefix N[1..i]
. Our answer is dp[N]
. We fill dp[0]
as 1 because there is only one way to get 0 coins (We pick no coins).
Now let’s try calculate dp[i]
for any i
. dp[0..i]
will store each sub problems from 0
to N
. That’s why the answer will be dp[N]
. First, we need to iterate each coin types to pick them one-by-one. Then we iterate the sub problems from current coin that we pick before to N
cents. That’s why we must make dp table with N
columns.
This is the codes for the Coin Change algorithm:
for coin_val in S:
for i in range(coin_val, n + 1):
dp[i] += dp[i - coin_val]
In the second iteration, for every cent that can be exchanged, we take it by subtracting the i-th column by the value of the coin we take and adding it into the current column. So dp[i]
will store the current sub problem.
O(N * S)
in any case
O(N)
- simple implementation. We only need 1D array to store the answer.
Let’s say we have 3 coin types [1,2,3]
and we want to change for 7
cents. So we will define our table like this.
[1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]
0th column will store 1 since there is only one way to get 0 cents.
{1,1,1,1,1,1,1}
. On the final iteration, our table be like:[1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1]
dp[2] += dp[0]
. We know that dp[0]
stored a value of 1. Thus, dp[2] will store the value of 1 + 1 = 2
. From here we know that for 2 cents, there are 2 ways {1,1}
and {2}
. And this operation will continue. Now our table be like:[1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4]
4 ways to make 7 cents using value of 1 and 2. {{1,1,1,1,1,1,1}, {1,1,1,1,1,2}, {1,1,1,2,2}, {1,2,2,2}}
[1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8]
So the final answer is 8. 8 ways to make change of 7 cents using all coin types. {{1,1,1,1,1,1,1}, {1,1,1,1,1,2}, {1,1,1,2,2}, {1,2,2,2}, {1,1,1,1,3}, {1,3,3}, {2,2,3}, {1,1,2,3}}

Suggestions for tasty hamster treats you can make at home.
Don't get excited! This isn't going to tell you how to use hamsters as an ingredient in your culinary endeavours. No recipes for hamster stew or Hamster en croute here. Perhaps I should have called my post 'Cooking for Milku' so you didn't get the wrong idea. Really, I thought better of you!
There are quite a few websites out in cyber space that will give you ideas on what treats to give your hamster. My humans have been trying to give me some nice things to eat, but they really went up in my estimation last weekend when they made some homemade hamster treats. In the next few posts, I'm going to share with you their recipes and my verdicts on the offerings.
Yesterday evening I received my first gourmet treat. It comprised a mix of:
Once mixed, the concoction was spooned into tiny moulds and baked until firm.
I loved it!
It looked like it might be a bit heavy to carry off to my den so I indulged my humans' need to see me eating my treat. But after dark, it was a different matter. Fortified by gnawing on a corner of the treat, I managed to haul it off to a secluded corner and enjoy it in peace.
I can't wait to sample the next recipe.


Reason
There are prenty of libraries out there to add parallax effects
But still, We had reasons we had to make this library.
1. Simplicity
We just want to add parallax effects to background-image
and We don't need to add effects to any other elements too
2. Speed Control
Almost all libraries that we encountered, need speed
option
but What if the images are too small that images can't move anymore?
In some cases, it's difficult to set the speed of parallax effects.
That's why, We want the library to set the speed by itself, So that the whole image will be shown during scroll

Chevrolet, colloquially referred to as Chevy and formally the Chevrolet Division of General Motors Company, is an American automobile division of the American manufacturer General Motors (GM). Louis Chevrolet and ousted General Motors founder William C. Durant started the company on November 3, 1911 as the Chevrolet Motor Car Company. Durant used the Chevrolet Motor Car Company to acquire a controlling stake in General Motors with a reverse merger occurring on May 2, 1918 and propelled himself back to the GM presidency. After Durant's second ousting in 1919, Alfred Sloan, with his maxim "a car for every purse and purpose," would pick the Chevrolet brand to become the volume leader in the General Motors family, selling mainstream vehicles to compete with Henry Ford's Model T in 1919 and overtaking Ford as the best-selling car in the United States by 1929 |

5.7 Deleting Directory TreesBoth of the copy scripts in the last section work as planned, but they aren't very forgiving of existing directory trees. That is, they implicitly assume that the "to" target directory is either empty or doesn't exist at all, and fail badly if that isn't the case. Presumably, you will first somehow delete the target directory on your machine. For my purposes, that was a reasonable assumption to make. The copiers could be changed to work with existing "to" directories too (e.g., ignore os.mkdir exceptions), but I prefer to start from scratch when copying trees; you never know what old garbage might be laying around in the "to" directory. So when testing the copies above, I was careful to run a rm -rf cpexamples command line to recursively delete the entire cpexamples directory tree before copying another tree to that name. Unfortunately, the rm command used to clear the target directory is really a Unix utility that I installed on my PC from a commercial package; it probably won't work on your computer. There are other platform-specific ways to delete directory trees (e.g., deleting a folder's icon in a Windows explorer GUI), but why not do it once in Python for every platform? Example 5-22 deletes every file and directory at and below a passed-in directory's name. Because its logic is packaged as a function, it is also an importable utility that can be run from other scripts. Because it is pure Python code, it is a cross-platform solution for tree removal. Example 5-22. PP2E\System\Filetools\rmall.py#!/usr/bin/python ################################################################ # Use: "python rmall.py directoryPath directoryPath..." # recursive directory tree deletion: removes all files and # directories at and below directoryPaths; recurs into subdirs # and removes parent dir last, because os.rmdir requires that # directory is empty; like a Unix "rm -rf directoryPath" ################################################################ import sys, os fcount = dcount = 0 def rmall(dirPath): # delete dirPath and below global fcount, dcount namesHere = os.listdir(dirPath) for name in namesHere: # remove all contents first path = os.path.join(dirPath, name) if not os.path.isdir(path): # remove simple files os.remove(path) fcount = fcount + 1 else: # recur to remove subdirs rmall(path) os.rmdir(dirPath) # remove now-empty dirPath dcount = dcount + 1 if __name__ == '__main__': import time start = time.time( ) for dname in sys.argv[1:]: rmall(dname) tottime = time.time( ) - start print 'Removed %d files and %d dirs in %s secs' % (fcount, dcount, tottime) The great thing about coding this sort of tool in Python is that it can be run with the same command-line interface on any machine where Python is installed. If you don't have a rm -rf type command available on your Windows, Unix, or Macintosh computer, simply run the Python rmall script instead: C:\temp>python %X%\System\Filetools\cpall.py examples cpexamples Note: dirTo was created Copying... Copied 1379 files, 121 directories in 2.68999993801 seconds C:\temp>python %X%\System\Filetools\rmall.py cpexamples Removed 1379 files and 122 dirs in 0.549999952316 secs C:\temp>ls cpexamples ls: File or directory "cpexamples" is not found Here, the script traverses and deletes a tree of 1379 files and 122 directories in about half a second -- substantially impressive for a noncompiled programming language, and roughly equivalent to the commercial rm -rf program I purchased and installed on my PC. One subtlety here: this script must be careful to delete the contents of a directory before deleting the directory itself -- the os.rmdir call mandates that directories must be empty when deleted (and throws an exception if they are not). Because of that, the recursive calls on subdirectories need to happen before the os.mkdir call. Computer scientists would recognize this as a postorder, depth-first tree traversal, since we process parent directories after their children. This also makes any traversals based on os.path.walk out of the question: we need to return to a parent directory to delete it after visiting its descendents. To illustrate, let's run interactive os.remove and os.rmdir calls on a cpexample directory containing files or nested directories: >>> os.path.isdir('cpexamples') 1 >>> os.remove('cpexamples') Traceback (innermost last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'cpexamples' >>> os.rmdir('cpexamples') Traceback (innermost last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'cpexamples' Both calls always fail if the directory is not empty. But now, delete the contents of cpexamples in another window and try again: >>> os.path.isdir('cpexamples') 1 >>> os.remove('cpexamples') Traceback (innermost last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'cpexamples' >>> os.rmdir('cpexamples') >>> os.path.exists('cpexamples') 0 The os.remove still fails -- it's only meant for deleting nondirectory items -- but os.rmdir now works because the directory is empty. The upshot of this is that a tree deletion traversal must generally remove directories "on the way out." 5.7.1 Recoding Deletions for GeneralityAs coded, the rmall script only processes directory names and fails if given names of simple files, but it's trivial to generalize the script to eliminate that restriction. The recoding in Example 5-23 accepts an arbitrary command-line list of file and directory names, deletes simple files, and recursively deletes directories. Example 5-23. PP2E\System\Filetools\rmall2.py#!/usr/bin/python ################################################################ # Use: "python rmall2.py fileOrDirPath fileOrDirPath..." # like rmall.py, alternative coding, files okay on cmd line ################################################################ import sys, os fcount = dcount = 0 def rmone(pathName): global fcount, dcount if not os.path.isdir(pathName): # remove simple files os.remove(pathName) fcount = fcount + 1 else: # recur to remove contents for name in os.listdir(pathName): rmone(os.path.join(pathName, name)) os.rmdir(pathName) # remove now-empty dirPath dcount = dcount + 1 if __name__ == '__main__': import time start = time.time( ) for name in sys.argv[1:]: rmone(name) tottime = time.time( ) - start print 'Removed %d files and %d dirs in %s secs' % (fcount, dcount, tottime) This shorter version runs the same, and just as fast, as the original: C:\temp>python %X%\System\Filetools\cpall.py examples cpexamples Note: dirTo was created Copying... Copied 1379 files, 121 directories in 2.52999997139 seconds C:\temp>python %X%\System\Filetools\rmall2.py cpexamples Removed 1379 files and 122 dirs in 0.550000071526 secs C:\temp>ls cpexamples ls: File or directory "cpexamples" is not found but can also be used to delete simple files: C:\temp>python %X%\System\Filetools\rmall2.py spam.txt eggs.txt Removed 2 files and 0 dirs in 0.0600000619888 secs C:\temp>python %X%\System\Filetools\rmall2.py spam.txt eggs.txt cpexamples Removed 1381 files and 122 dirs in 0.630000042915 secs As usual, there is more than one way to do it in Python (though you'll have to try harder to find many spurious ways). Notice that these scripts trap no exceptions; in programs designed to blindly delete an entire directory tree, exceptions are all likely to denote truly bad things. We could get more fancy, and support filename patterns by using the built-in fnmatch module along the way too, but this was beyond the scope of these script's goals (for pointers on matching, see Example Example 5-17, and also find.py in Chapter 2). |
