ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY – On 15th May, 1252 AD, Pope Innocent IV issues the papal bull ad extirpanda, which authorized, but also limited, the torture of heretics in the Medieval Inquisition. The papal bull stated that as heretics are "murderers of souls as well as robbers of God’s sacraments and of the Christian faith", they are "to be coerced into confessing their errors and accusing others”. The ‘merciful’ Pope was kind enough to add in the clause that the torture “must stop short of danger to life or limb."

Other pipelines in the news:
A Quebec citizen group is applauding a resolution by the Greater Montreal Area’s governing body asking the National Energy Board for a hydrostatic safety test of the Line 9 oil pipeline before it goes back into operation this summer.
“We would like to thank the CMM (Greater Montreal Area) and its president, Montreal Mayor Denis Coderre, as well as the numerous other elected bodies that have listened to the concerns of the public, and acted swiftly on this safety issue by adopting similar resolutions and forwarding them to the NEB,” Lorraine Caron, a spokesperson for the citizen group Les Citoyens au Courant, said.
The governing body, better known as the Communauté métropolitaine de Montréal or Montreal Metropolitan Community, passed the resolution in a meeting on April 30. Line 9, a 39-year old Enbridge pipeline, runs through a densely populated corridor from Montreal, through Toronto and on to Sarnia in southwestern Ontario.
Citizen groups, and environmental organizations in Ontario and Quebec have been voicing concerns for over two years on whether Line 9 — the twin in age and design of the Enbridge pipeline that ruptured in Kalamazoo, Michigan in 2010 — can operate safely at an increased capacity and while transporting oilsands (also called tar sands) bitumen.
“We have been convinced by industry experts, including Richard Kuprewicz, U.S. expert on pipeline safety, that hydrostatic testing is the only way to guarantee the 639-kilometre pipeline can withstand the pressure it will be subjected to and the only way to find pinhole leaks and some types of stress corrosion cracking that could lead to rupture,” Katherine Massam of Les Citoyens au Courant stated in a press release.

Just moments ago we got word that Fergus Ewing, Scottish minister for energy, stood before the Scottish Parliament and said "I'm announcing today a moratorium [open-ended ban] on the granting of planning consents for all unconventional oil and gas developments."

There's still work to do to turn this temporary ban into an outright ban, but for now this is brilliant news!

I saw a similar bill in the federal legislature a few months ago: the bill, if signed into law, would prevent people from taking pictures of pollution and destroyed public land IN EVERY STATE OF THE UNION, not just Wyoming. H.R. 4157, March 6, 2014; Sponsor: Rep. Crawford, Eric A. "Rick" [R-AR-1]. Section 4A6 would prohibit taking pictures of the destroyed land. People caught doing so would be charged under "domestic terrorism."

We are concerned that these practitioners may be used as part of the sanctions process, that CBT may not be in the client's interest in such a setting, that CBT is not the best form of therapy for many of those who experience mental distress, and that practitioners are not suffiently trained to be able to recognise the level of vulnerability of clients, or the level of risk that they may pose.
