mywot/wot ( web of trust ) is a browser add-on and web site .

wot is an online reputation and internet safety service , providing crowdsourced reviews and other data about whether websites respect user privacy , are secure , and other indicators of trust .

in november 2016 , a german state media investigation found that wot had secretly collected personal user details and sold or licensed this information to unidentified third-party businesses and entities for data monetization purposes .

this activity breached the privacy rules and guidelines set by several browsers .

as a result , the browser add-on was involuntarily removed from mozilla firefox 's add-on store , and voluntarily removed from other browsers ' add-on/extension stores .

wot was eventually reinstated .

the wot thing description ( td ) provides a formal mechanism to describe the network interface provided by iot devices and services , independent of their implementation . provision of a td is the primary requirement for a device to participate in the web of things . in fact , defining a thing description for an existing device allows that device to participate in the web of things without having to make any modifications to the device itself . wot binding templates define how a wot device communicates using a concrete protocol . the wot scripting api—whose use is not mandatory—provides a convenient mechanism to discover , consume , and expose things based on the wot thing description .
to find out more about the technicalities of how wot works and how to use it , take a tour and check out our frequently asked questions . welcome to the wot community !
wot brings transparency to the web and makes it more difficult for scam sites to operate .
wot uses two categories to determine what they consider to be the reputation of a website .
this section defines the properties required in an abstract web of things ( wot ) architecture .
the standardized wot scripting api is the contract between applications and the runtime system of a servient , the so - called wot runtime . the wot scripting api is equivalent to any platform api , and hence there must be mechanisms to prevent malicious access to the system . as mentioned above , this building block , including the underlying wot runtime implementation , is optional .

a wot runtime may provide local hardware or system services to application scripts through the thing abstraction , as if they were accessible over a network protocol . in this case the implementation should be optimized to avoid the overhead that would be involved in a literal implementation of a network protocol while maintaining a consistent wot interface . the details of such
system things
are out of the scope of standardization at present , although w3c wot will document several informational examples .

of these , the wot thing description is the primary building block , as it describes the network - facing interface of a thing ( wot interface ) , whether or not it uses wot binding templates or the wot scripting api internally . the implementation of wot binding templates results in multiple possible protocol bindings , so that a thing can communicate with different iot platforms ( i . e . , iot ecosystems or standards ) . when a thing uses the wot scripting api internally , its application logic can be programmed against a standardized contract using javascript . this way , it simplifies iot application development and enables portability across vendors and wot network components .
spiegel online reports that mozilla has already removed the wot extension from its firefox add - ons page due to guideline violations . it seems likely other software that supports wot will follow . anyone currently using the wot extension should seriously consider whether they wish to continue doing so . wot also has a mobile app , which won ' t be immune to this data collection .
we already have many existing iot solutions and ongoing iot standardization activities in many business fields . the wot should provide a bridge between these existing and developing iot solutions and web technology based on wot concepts . the wot should be upwards compatible with existing iot solutions and current standards .
running on the gateway . however , many service providers have already provided iot services using proprietary iot interfaces or some other iot standard . in this case , the gateway can still support the same functionalities , as in the previous case , but using methods outside of the wot definitions .
this section is an early outline to realize wot with the existing browser apis . more details and a native wot integration into the web browser will be added as the wg drafts progress .
i recommend web of trust ( wot ) to all my friends . it saves me a lot of trouble by giving me reputations of websites before i click on the links , and helps me avoid questionable or malicious websites . i prefer it over some of the other browser add - ons like avg and nortons website reputation services because wot seems to have ratings on more sites .
browser add - ons like site advisor and web of trust ( wot ) can help people searching the web determine whether the sites they are searching for have a nasty reputation . but such services do little to aid in flagging legitimate sites that were recently hacked and seeded with malicious software .

last week , an investigative report by journalists at the hamburg - based german television broadcaster , norddeutscher rundfunk ( ndr ) , revealed that web of trust services ( wot ) had been harvesting netizens ' web browsing histories through its browser add - on and then selling them to third parties .
using wot , millions of web users from around the world rate websites according to their experiences , also exposing suspected rogue websites . wot users have pinned down more than five million untrustworthy websites .
an abstract architecture for the web of things and a functional architecture for servients has been introduced . it is based on wot building blocks , which are to be covered by additional wot specifications :
in addition to privacy protecting tools and ad blockers , a few other add - ons , utilities , and services came up while we were researching this piece that you shouldn’t roam the web without .
the installed wot browser add - on shows its users the reputations of websites , which are calculated through a combination of user ratings and data from other sources . the wot browser add - on does two things : ( 1 ) it sends user ratings to the wot site , and ( 2 ) it displays the computed results via color - coded icons in the user ' s browser tool - bar and next to external links on the pages of leading search engines , email services and social network sites .
wot . dll is installed in internet explorer as a bho ( browser helper object ) under the name ' wot helper ' with the class of { c920e44a - 7f78 - 4e64 - bdd7 - a57026e7feb7 } .
note that the wot scripting api building block is optional . there can be minimal servient implementations where applications are implemented natively for the software stack . these do not have the scripting api and wot runtime modules .
wot allows users to add their input on the trustworthiness , vendor reliability , privacy and / or child safety of a website based on their experience with the site and / or services they offer . the rating scale ranges from poor to excellent and is algorithmic . wot calculates the reputation of a website through a combination of user ratings and data from trusted sources such as hphosts legit script panda security , phishtank , and truste .
figure 4 – the web of things only deals with the highest osi layer ( 7 ) , which handles applications , services and data . working on such a high level of abstraction makes it possible to connect data and services from many devices regardless of the actual transport protocols used . in contrast , the internet of things does not advocate a particular application level protocol and is usually focusing on the lower layers of the osi stack .
rest is an architectural style for developing distributed applications and is the basis upon which the modern web is built . the essence of rest is to focus on creating loosely coupled services that can be easily reused , which is implemented using uris , http , and standardized media types . abstracting the services from their application - specific semantics thanks to a uniform interface ( http verbs and response codes ) makes it easy to build loosely coupled services as it provides a simple mechanism for clients to select the best possible representations for interactions . this makes the web the ideal substrate for building a “universal” architecture and application programming interface ( api ) to interact with things .
shows an example of a connected car . in this case , a gateway connects to car components through can and to the car navigation system through a proprietary interface . services running in the cloud collect data pushed from car components and analyze the data from multiple cars to determine traffic patterns . the gateway can also consume cloud services , in this case , to get traffic data and show it to the driver through the car navigation system .
using services such as ifttt or node - red , users can create small logical rules that mix real - world devices , such as sensors in their home with virtual services in the cloud for example an sms gateway or a weather forecast service . such applications are called physical mashups . you can learn the principles and tools that will allow you to create physical mashups on top of your things in our book , building the web of things .
the impact on you at home : if you ' re currently using wot in your browser , it ' s probably a good idea to manually uninstall it . wot believes the problem of non - anonymous data leakage to third parties affected only “a very small number of wot users . ” nevertheless , until wot has figured out how to correct this problem the add - on just isn’t worth the risk of having your data leaked to third parties .

ceo of wot , vesa perälä , went on to comment “the court’s decision is a very important precedent for wot as it highlights the importance of freedom of speech also on the internet . unfortunately this view is not shared by all other countries and wot is facing other battles about its right to publish user’s opinions on its service . especially german courts easily censor negative but otherwise fully legit feedback by the means of preliminary injunctions issued without hearing wot . ”
there is widespread agreement on the huge potential for exploiting connected sensors and actuators , but such devices vary considerably in their capabilities and communication technologies . this makes it challenging to create services involving devices from different vendors and using different standards .
wot is and always has been about protecting users from dangerous sites and the threats they pose . after taking the wot add - on off the extension galleries for some much - needed upgrading we are happy to announce that we’re back with a strengthened product , team , and are fully dedicated to making wot the best and reliable security tool we can .
the case was brought up against wot by ten differenf companies , which were later found out to belong to mr . ayman el - difrawi . the companies wanted wot to remove the ratings and comments left by users against those websites .

the
web of things
( wot ) started as an academic initiative in the form of publications and , starting in 2010 , a yearly international workshop on the web of things . its goal is to improve interoperability as well as usability in the internet of things ( iot ) . with the increasing role of iot services using other web standards in commercial and industrial applications , the w3c chartered an interest group in 2015 to identify technological building blocks for recommendation track standardization . with the wot working group chartered end of 2016 , the first set of wot building blocks is now being standardized :

the w3c web of things ( wot ) is intended to enable interoperability across iot platforms and application domains . primarily , it provides mechanisms to formally describe iot interfaces to allow iot devices and services to communicate with each other , independent of their underlying implementation , and across multiple networking protocols . secondarily , it provides a standardized way to define and program iot behavior .
as a result of ndr’s discoveries wot says it is conducting a “full security assessment and review” and will overhaul the company’s “data ‘cleaning’ process” for anonymizing usage data sold to third parties . you can check out wot’s full statement on its user forums .
the web of things seeks to reduce the costs and risks for developing such services through an object oriented approach in which devices are exposed to applications as things with properties , actions and events , decoupling developers from the details of the underlying communication standards .
it only takes a few seconds to add wot to your browser and rate a website to protect yourself and all other wot users from online threats that anti - virus software can’t spot . together we can make the internet a safer place for everyone .

the wot scripting api needs to be added by a wot library loaded together with the application scripts by the web page . this library would also implement td handling ( i . e . , parsing for consuming things and generating for exposing things ) and provide glue code to use the browser apis . the other aspects of the wot runtime are provided by the browser javascript runtime system .

as well as bringing suit against the founders and ceo of wot , wot community members “john and jane does 1 - 100” are named in the document for alleged malicious , willful and intentional defamation . wot hosts a site forum , which allows members to post comments and discuss website ratings , security and online safety . the wot forum was used to discuss reports that difrawi’s websites are “phishing” scams , whereby the websites attempt to acquire sensitive personal information by pretending to be a trustworthy entity . difrawi ' s lawsuit contends that all defamatory postings are based on these forum comments and wants wot to remove all postings related to career network and collect damages .
the web of things ( wot ) is a term used to describe approaches , software architectural styles and programming patterns that allow everyday items to be part of the world wide web . fundamentally , the purpose of the wot is to standardise the use of web technologies to accelerate the creation of applications and services on top of the internet of things . the concept of the wot is currently being explored by an international group of researchers from industry ( including nominet uk ) and academia as part of a w3c interest group . the group has recently met during their first face - to - face meeting that took place in munich , germany in april 2015 .
the ndr investigation discovered that while you have the wot extension installed , extensive data collection is going on in the background . but wot not only collects and records data on a per - user basis , it then analyzes and sells it on to third parties .
i am upset with the selling of data allegations . my question for the my wot community , is how do we know that these accusations are true ? they came from some german media firm and wikipedia . and as we know , wikipedia’s data can be changed over time and at any time . i trusted wot for many years . however , i rely more on the help my wot provides on the safety of websites over privacy issues . my take is that if wot can sell some of your data to third parties , this should have been made clear in the wot user agreement during the installation of the plug - in and was not mentioned .
we are now preparing to relaunch an updated version of wot which will include the appropriate measures to regain the trust of our users .
we take a professional approach to the installation of wot intruder alarms , ranging from bells only to fully monitored and maintained alarm system .

while wot hands over the users’ data in an anonymized form , it can be severely critical . as per the analysis reported by rob , security technology student and amo editor working on firefox webextensions , wot can also steal the banking credentials of the users besides installing a malware in their system .
wot for firefox runs not only in firefox but also firefox - based browsers ; even 64 - bit cyberfox . during the setup process , we could sign in or create an account , which enables feedback and social features . but you don ' t have to sign up for wot ; it works just fine without an account , as we verified . signing up for a free wot account is easy , though , ( you can do it through facebook ) and minimally intrusive . clicking mywot opened our account page . we could access wot ' s settings from the icon ' s menu or from firefox ' s add - ons page . setup finished with a guided tour of wot ' s features , but more support options are available .

“using preliminary injunctions web sites and companies try to force wot to delete comments and ratings they feel are not favorable for their business . wot has no plans to voluntarily delete legit user feedback from the service and will take whatever necessary steps to ensure it can operate freely also in the future . ”
it sounds like a clever way to check whether your favorie sites visit can be trusted . however , the wot service itself is far from trustworthy .
or , you can uninstall wot for internet explorer from your computer by using the add / remove program feature in the window ' s control panel .
security is a cross - cutting issue that needs to be taken into account in all wot building blocks . the w3c wot does not define any new security mechanisms , but provides guidelines to apply the best practices from web security , iot security , and information security for general software and hardware considerations .
besides this historical event for w3c wot , santa clara also had an excellent openday with ( among other ) valuable input from the json schema and json - ld 1 . 1 authors , interesting experiences from wot implementors , and inspiring talks by physical web creator scott jenson as well as hp fellow bruce fleming .
at wot we are able to provide physical or electronic master key or key suiting solutions for high end properties , businesses , educational establishments and healthcare operators .
the functional wot architecture should enable the use of best practices in security and privacy . generally , the wot security architecture must support the goals and mechanisms of the iot protocols and systems it connects to . these systems vary in their security requirements and risk tolerance , so security mechanisms will also vary based on these factors . however , the wot architecture needs to do no harm : it should support security and privacy at least as well as the systems it connects to .
figure 5 – the web of things is the ability to use modern web standards directly on embedded devices . by leveraging all these standards for iot scenarios , we both enable new types of interactive applications to be built , and also make sure that devices can be integrated with modern web applications and services with minimal effort .
we’ve just released a new version of wot on the chrome extension gallery which already has several major code updates in order to protect our users privacy and an opt - out option from the user settings , for users who do not wish to share data with us but still want to have easy access to wot .
wot claimed it anonymised the data that it sold but the journalists were able to identify more than 50 users from the sample data it acquired from an intermediary .

web of trust ( wot ) is a website reputation and review service that helps people make informed decisions about whether to trust a website or not . wot is based on a unique crowdsourcing approach that collects ratings and reviews from a global community of millions of users who rate and comment on websites based on their personal experiences .

a simplistic view of the subject that wot concept is more on asking information over a network and iot is creating a network or connecting numbers of unconnected devices previously .
ndr quoted the data protection commissioner of hamburg , johannes caspar , criticising wot for not adequately establishing whether users consented to the tracking and selling of their browsing data .
the wot thing description must be used together with integrity protection mechanisms and access control policies . users must ensure that no sensitive information is included in the tds themselves .
wot was founded in 2006 by sami tolvanen and timo ala - kleemola , who wrote the wot software as post - graduates at the tampere university of technology in finland . they launched the service officially in 2007 , with serial entrepreneur and angel investor esa suurio as ceo . in november 2009 suurio moved on to his next endeavor .
the add - on sends user ratings to the wot site , and it determines how the computed results are displayed , depending on user ' s settings . for instance , when visiting a poorly rated site , a warning screen may pop up , or only a red icon in the user ' s browser tool - bar is shown . color - coded icons are also shown next to external links on the pages of leading search engines , on email services , on social network sites , and on wikipedia .
figure 3 – in the iot , hundreds of incompatible protocols co - exist today . this makes the integration of data and services from various devices extremely complex and costly . in the web of things , any device can be accessed using standard web protocols . connecting heterogeneous devices to the web makes the integration across systems and applications much simpler .
additionally , wot reads your browser’s url and provides trustworthiness ratings on the web - page level . for example , individual twitter accounts and blogs that may have dubious content or links to different sites , some of which are malicious in nature . wot also works to understand which referring sites drive users to phishing / fraudulent sites , and how to prevent this from happening in the first place . for example , we do this in part by identifying ad networks involved in malware distribution and search terms that lead to malicious links . this browsing data is collected by wot , as described in our privacy policy and allows wot to predict new dangerous websites even before any user rates them .
in the web of things , devices and their services are fully integrated in the web because they use the same standards and techniques as traditional web sites . this means that you can write applications that interact with embedded devices in exactly the same way as you would interact with any other web service that uses web apis and in particular using restful architectures .
regarding the relaunch of wot – we received a notice from the mozilla store that they were removing our add - on from the store pending answers to certain questions . we decided to remove wot from the other platforms at our own initiative so that we could have the time to study the feedback we have been receiving and to make appropriate changes .
there can be things , however , that do not provide a wot interface and only consist of metadata that is relevant to the application ( e . g . , the room in which devices are located ) . in w3c wot however , a thing must have a thing description ; therefore , everything that has a thing description is a thing .
i am enjoying the slow process of implementing this as open source software , since being able to show people working examples is much more compelling than a slide presentation . my hope is that we can enable a thriving market of apps and services based upon open standards that lower the costs for integration across platforms and in doing so greatly expand the market potential .
we are excited to introduce some exciting new features and changes to wot from a product standpoint as well as a focus standpoint . the threats of today have shifted from what they were 10 years ago when we first launched , and it’s time to adapt . wot is the natural fit in every user’s security suite next to an antivirus , as it protects users from threats that only the human eye can spot . you , our dedicated community , have powered wot for more than a decade , and we’re proud to serve you .
from wot’s privacy policy : “opt out rights even after providing your consent to this privacy policy , you are entitled to change your mind . if you do , you may opt out of the data collection and sharing process related to your wot app or extension , by changing the options selected in the “settings” menu , so that the “real - time protection” option is set to “off” . after you opt out , we will no longer collect and share your data in connection with your use of the wot app or extension . ”
web of trust ( wot ) is a community - powered surfing tool that boosts trust on the internet , by using authentic user experiences to help web users find reliable websites . by means of a free wot add - on tool installed in the browser , internet users can discern the quality of websites that they are about to access in terms of trustworthiness , vendor reliability , privacy protection and suitability for children . with traffic - light style icons , wot shows the website’s reputation based on user evaluations and information from trustworthy sources . wot works with internet explorer , firefox , google chrome , safari and opera . the service has 18 million users around the world who have rated more than 31 million websites .
availability the add - on works with firefox on all platforms and internet explorer on windows . the user interface comes in 14 languages and a colorblind accessible version . with the apple safari browser running on ios5 on devices such as the apple ipad the wot bookmarklet can be used to display wot ratings for a given site in a pop - up window .
the spokesperson added that opera has
no information that the version of the wot extension in opera’s catalogue hasn’t been secure , however it’s no longer available for opera’s users
.
regardless , my wot has not been the same company since it’s foundation back in 2006 . the new team unfortunately has been slow to deal with updates and security issues such as these . my belief is that many of wot’s algorithm’s are relying on that old 2006 technology . hopefully , the next release will have the ability to opt - in to the ability to remove your my wot user data from any third party lists , and that these updates will meet the needs of more modern technologies and operating systems , such as windows 10 .
wot was a pretty good tool several years ago . i have been a member for many years . but now its very unreliable there are so many trolls and idiots that are members with multiple accounts that have the power to rate it makes wot quite useless , i dont use wot since a few years now . and as the saying goes you get what you pay for , which is nothing . i would advise anyone that takes security seriously to buy a internet security software suite from a well known anti virus software company . case closed
the thing abstraction and interaction model is implemented in a runtime system that offers the application - facing wot scripting api . this wot runtime interfaces with the protocol bindings to access remote things and with the system api to access local hardware and proprietary means for communication . note that both local hardware and devices behind proprietary communications protocols are also represented as things in the runtime environment , that is , they are also accessed through the client api . the wot runtime is also tasked with generating the thing description based on the servient metadata ( e . g . , location ) , application metadata ( e . g . , provided interactions ) , and available protocol bindings ( e . g . , implemented wot binding templates ) .
guys , i just got a firefox security warning about wot , recommending that i disable the ad - on . this is from that old suspicious german data situation . three questions :
i ' ve been using wot for years . it ' s so easy to use , unobtrusive . start using it ( there ' s not a good reason not to and plenty of reasons to ) , then spread the word . it works on a crowd - sourced model - the more people that contribute ratings for websites , the more powerful wot becomes .
ian is an independent writer based in israel who has never met a tech subject he didn ' t like . he primarily covers windows , pc and gaming hardware , video and music streaming services , social networks , and browsers . when he ' s not covering the news he ' s working on how - to tips for pc users , or tuning his egpu setup .
we are here to help you with anything for what you don’t have time for . we have been offering world of tanks service over two years and we have 100 % positive feedback , not a single unsatisfied customer , most of our customers return to order again . choose us and you will not regret it , you will receive high quality services within very short time frame .
today , wot is the world’s leading crowdsourced website reputation service with over 140 million downloads worldwide and collaborates with the world’s leading internet companies such as facebook and the mail . ru group .
wot might become a trustworthy service again in the future . but for now it’s probably best to stay away from this extensio—and maybe conduct an evaluation of all your browser add - ons .
my privacy horse bolted a long time ago and there is no easy way to get it back into the stable . so my privacy is less of a priority to me than my online safety . that ' s why i keep using wot . now , with their latest improvements , wot provides me with more privacy than before so i ' m glad they were exposed .
the relationship between the web thing model and the current wot ig work is pretty straightforward to understand . the integration patterns of the web thing model are similar to what the wot ig architecture document references . similarly , the model of things and other the model of other resources is discussed in the thing description which takes a very similar approach and terminology to the web thing model .
re - installed wot to opera from the chrome store , wot is still not listed in the opera add - ons pages so had to go that route . anyway , once installed i checked the new settings in wot for the opt in , opt out data sharing options . easy enough to find in the settings and accompanied by an updated privacy policy , which is here ; urltoken anyone using wot should read it , and from that draw your own conclusions as to whether you use / trust the extension . as for the opt out rights ; if you choose to opt out of real time protection then , according to the privacy policy , no more data will be collected or shared . but opting out of real time protection renders the extension virtually useless , it pretty much disables it . the toolbar icon is greyed out , no blocking red rated sites and there are no wot icons in search results . all you are left with is the ability to click the toolbar icon and open the wot ratings page for the site you ' ve landed on . bottom line , to me , is if you don ' t agree to having your data collected and shared by opting out of real time protection then you may as well not have the wot extension installed at all . just thought this was something that should be pointed out .

human sin results in the alienation of people from god , from each other and from the rest of creation . the prophet hosea describes how as a result of greed and injustice the beasts of the field , the birds of the air and even the fish of the sea perish ( hosea 4 : 3 ) . god ' s continuing love and concern for all creation is shown in the covenant god makes with noah , with his descendants , and with all living creatures ( genesis 9 : 8 - 10 ) .

last year , in our easter message , we spoke of the necessity of choosing life in a society where too often human dignity is not respected and vulnerable human life is endangered . today , on the feast day of st . francis of assisi , the patron saint of ecology , we are issuing a call to celebrate life by caring for god ' s creation and responding to the ecological crisis that is manifesting itself all around us in so many ways .
every day in the media we hear about new ecological problems . climate change from global warming and the depletion of the ozone layer are changing the conditions for life over the whole planet .
in canada , fish stocks on both the atlantic and pacific coasts are endangered , presenting both an ecological and an economic crisis .
pope john paul ii , in his 1990 statement peace with all creation , reminds us that present practices cannot continue and that fundamental change is required :
faced with the widespread destruction of the environment , people everywhere are coming to understand that we cannot continue to use the goods of the earth as we have in the past .
hopeful initiatives are already emerging ranging from global treaties to eliminate ozone destroying chemicals to neighbourhood recycling organizations . much more needs to be done , however , if future generations of our children and grandchildren are not to be saddled with a life - threatening environmental deficit .
ecological crisis impacts on life , including human life . for christians and all human beings , this must be a priority concern . the catechism of the catholic church affirms that the seventh commandment enjoins respect for the integrity of creation ( no . 2415 ) . pope john paul ii repeatedly emphasizes that ecological crisis must be seen as a spiritual and moral issue .
in order to understand and respond to this great challenge , we need to reexamine our fundamental values . as christians , we need to step back and reflect on our place in the midst of all that god has created in such abundance and beauty .
genesis contains a clear and repeated message that creation , sun and stars , land and seas , animals and plants , is good in god ' s eyes . all creation is called to give praise to god ( daniel 3 : 35 - 68 ) . humans , very much part of god ' s creation , are created male and female in the image and likeness of god and have a special role and responsibility within creation . humans are called to exercise dominion over the earth , a dominion of service , wisdom and love .
another genesis passage describes the task of women and men to be one of cultivating and caring for creation ( genesis 2 : 15 ) .
the biblical sabbath and jubilee ( leviticus 25 ) provide a model for an ecological ethic . every seventh day , the people and their domestic animals were to refrain from work in order to celebrate the sabbath .
every seventh year , the people and the land were to rest and to be restored . during the jubilee year , the sabbath of sabbaths , the land was to be restored to the original owners who may have lost it through bankruptcy or family misfortune .
pope john paul ii describes how the celebration of the jubilee was a reminder that those who owned the land and its wealth were really only stewards , ministers charged with working in the name of god . . . since it is god ' s will that created goods should serve everyone in a just way ( on the coming of the third millennium , 13 ) .
the biblical jubilee contains what we call today an eco - justice message , bringing together a call for social justice among all peoples and right relationship with the land and all creation .
jesus in the gospel of luke describes his ministry in terms of jubilee ( luke 4 : 15 - 21 ) . jesus ' proclamation of salvation and liberation is to overcome all alienation , reconciling everything in heaven and on earth ( colossians 1 : 18 - 20 ) .
part of human sin has been to see ourselves as separate from the rest of creation , seeing the natural world only as a source of profit and personal gain . to overcome this sin , we need to affirm our place within the dynamic web of creation which supports and sustains all life .
we can learn much from the spiritual traditions of our aboriginal brothers and sisters which celebrate our kinship with the rest of creation and seek to strengthen the sacred circle of all creation .
catholics see creation in a sacramental way . the abundance and beauty of god ' s creation reveals to us something of the generosity of the creator . god is present and speaks in the dynamic life forces of our universe and planet as well as in our own lives . respect for life needs to include all creation .
catholic spirituality and sacramental practice are rooted in the belief that basic materials such as water , grain made into bread and grapes made into wine can communicate and convey god ' s saving action into our midst .
ecological destruction and the loss of biodiversity obscure our ability to see and experience god and are an affront to the creator . the fate of the natural world and human life are fully intertwined . ecological destruction harms human life , and human social injustice inevitably has ecological consequences .
a continuing theme in catholic social teaching has been the common good . this refers to the whole society being organized through its social , political and economic institutions so that all individuals , families and communities can thrive and seek their own good .
today , clearly this traditional understanding of the common good needs to be expanded to include a healthy natural environment . also , since our major ecological challenges , such as greenhouse warming and depletion of the ozone layer , are increasingly global in scope , we need to speak of a global common good going beyond all provincial and national boundaries .
in recent years , pope john paul ii has spoken often of solidarity . in canada and across the globe , all people are called to be in solidarity . an authentic understanding of development needs to include all , especially the poor and marginalized , and to address all the different dimensions of human flourishing over both the short and long term .
our private property and accumulated wealth are not an absolute right because these carry a social mortgage at the service of the global common good .
a christian ecological ethic also needs to include the principle of sufficiency . this principle cuts two ways . one is that everyone has the right to access the goods of creation to meet basic needs and to live a life of dignity .
similarly , in a world of increasing population and widening inequality within nations and between nations that is already approaching real ecological limits , sufficiency means that those consuming a disproportionate share of the earth ' s natural resources , including energy resources , need to examine critically their lifestyles and levels of consumption . the traditional saying that the earth can provide for everyone ' s needs , but not for everyone ' s greed , is certainly relevant today .
the economy and the whole society need to become sustainable . as a society in canada and globally , we need to live within our ecological means . everything we do from the expansion of agribusiness to extensive logging , coal mining , and oil and gas exploration and production needs to pass the ethical test of sustainability .
our christian ethic needs to expand to include an intergenerational ethic where the needs of future generations are included in present - day decisions .
over the years , albertans have lived as if the abundant forests , minerals , oil , gas and coal deposits , fertile prairie topsoil and clean air and water extended without limit . the striking beauty of mountains , foothills , parkland and prairie landscapes have appeared as indestructible . however , times have changed . our stewardship of this abundance is now being questioned . our economic model of maximizing profit in an increasingly global market is unsustainable .
the move to large - scale corporate agriculture in search of greater economic efficiencies runs the risk of destroying the agricultural foundations of fertile topsoil , clean air and water as well as the social ecology of vibrant rural human communities .
the rapid , widespread harvesting of the boreal forest is testing the limits of ecosystem integrity and risks the future of what should be a renewable resource for future generations .
as we look around us and read the
signs of the times ,
we face a challenging time of crisis and opportunity . this is a time to make important decisions . in religious terms , this time is a call to conversion .
we need to re - examine the ways we think and act , to affirm and support better what we are presently doing that is environmentally responsible and to critique and challenge what is irresponsible and unsustainable .
scientists are telling us that in the face of rising global population and increased energy and natural resource consumption , we have a limited window of opportunity to change our environmentally destructive ways of relating to the earth . failure to act in a timely and decisive manner will threaten the ability of the earth to nurture and sustain life as we know it . this time of jubilee preparation is a call for a new beginning . the eco - justice message of the biblical jubilee is a challenge for us to embrace a right relationship with god , all human beings and all creation . this jubilee call is a call for us here and now to celebrate life , to care for creation .

the breach relates to saline - filled demonstration pens and pillows used during the practice sessions where patients with diabetes or gestational diabetes take part in one - on - one lessons on the use of insulin pens .
though the needles were changed between each use and were never shared between patients , the saline reservoirs in the pens may not have been changed out properly . the
practice pillows
may also have been shared between patients .
the pens are meant for demonstration purposes only , but some of them were being injected into patients after they had been used on the contaminated pillows .
we saw what it was and we stopped it ,
said heisler .
while the risk is considered to be very low , we are erring on the side of caution and advising that anyone who receives a notification letter be tested .
the risk to patients is considered
very low .
as a precaution , all patients will be tested for both strains of the virus . children born to pregnant women who were exposed do not require testing , heisler said .
the notification applies to patients with diabetes or gestational diabetes who received insulin training at the grey nuns education centre between march 2013 and feb . 19 , 2016 , or at the misericordia between may 2014 and feb . 19 , 2016 .
the problem was first discovered in february 2016 . the provincial risk assessment panel was notified one month later .
heisler said the
complexity
of those investigations is to blame for the 16 - month delay in notifying patients .
immediately upon us finding out , our first efforts were that we identified the practice , we saw what it was and stopped it .
and at that point , in the province there is a risk assessment panel that has the expertise to look at these kind of events in healthcare , to tell us what the risk is . . . and it takes a fair amount of time to do that .
and once we knew that , then part of our effort was making sure that we had a good list of who the patients were , to make sure we had the adequate information so we could let them know , and be as transparent with them as possible .
hepatitis infections can cause acute and chronic disease , including jaundice , and in more serious cases , scarring of the liver and liver failure .
the virus is transmitted through contact with the blood or other body fluids of an infected person .
patients named in the exposure are encouraged to contact their family doctor and get a standard blood tested as soon as possible .
this is a very low risk event and we ' re apologetic that we ' re also creating anxiety in a lot of people ,
heisler said .
but we want to do the safe thing and we encourage them to be tested right now .

it is a priority for cbc to create a website that is accessible to all canadians including people with visual , hearing , motor and cognitive challenges .
closed captioning and described video is available for many cbc - tv shows offered on cbc watch .
five full - time positions have been eliminated , and workers say many part - time employees have reportedly lost their jobs and have to reapply .
the changes affect 650 staff members at youville home , the edmonton general continuing care centre and st . joseph’s auxiliary hospital .
helen cyrus , a licensed practical nurse , says she’s been bumped back from full - time to 70 per cent , causing a significant downgrade to her salary and pension .
“whether you work there long or work there short , it really didn’t matter to them . they were not committed to us , the people who worked there were committed . we worked there but we got nothing for that commitment , ” says cyrus .
the realignment has started and is expected to be completely in place by february .

because the company founders and vps have been there for nearly 20 years , they are quite controlling about each book project . micro - management runs rampant , which makes it difficult to complete work in a timely matter or to feel as if you ' re contributing more than just completing someone else ' s directions . you aren ' t in charge of what projects you take on , so things can either be really slow or incredibly busy - - but normally it ' s break - neck pace . when you combine that with bosses whose day - to - day schedules don ' t take tight deadlines into account , and the place can be a pressure cooker . and just as a bonus , there are a few more difficult personalities to contend with .
