HSSB251: If you’re not a Martial Grandmaster, don’t come to die
Yan Zhaoge directly kicked out an opening in the side of the Wang Family’s ancestral manor.
As dust and smoke flew, sabre-light suddenly flickered, chopping out towards Yan Zhaoge.
The sabre-light resembled a continuous chain of mountains, with strange and perilous peaks, numerous layers of sabre-light instantly surrounding Yan Zhaoge.
Not even looking at it, Yan Zhaoge punched out, bursting through the sabre-light as he instantly sent his opponent flying.
Although his opponent flew backwards, the sabre-light before him grew as more enemies, all using the Continuous Mountains Sabre Art passed down within the Wang Family, obscured the heavens and covered the earth as they bore down on Yan Zhaoge.
At the same time, amongst these sabre-lights that resembled lofty mountains, a dark, biting wind also assaulted Yan Zhaoge.
Black Nightmare Mountain’s direct lineage martial art, Pursuing Wind Sword Style!
The sword was named Pursuing Wind, being even faster than wind itself, one of the fastest swords under the heavens, able to rival the Lightning Mantra Seventy Two Swords of the Heavenly Thunder Hall’s direct lineage.
It cast a dim sword-light, concealed amongst all those sabre-lights, exerted later but arriving first, that people would be hard pressed to guard against.
Yan Zhaoge just reached out with a single hand, closing the gap between his thumb and index finger, gripping the sword of his opponent.
Immediately, the sword-light was extinguished, the wind formed by the sword dying down, the sword, gripped by Yan Zhaoge’s two fingers, completely unable to move.
At the same time, Yan Zhaoge’s aura-qi surged.
Standing there, not moving an inch, his vigorous aura-qi transformed into a storm, directly dissipating the sabre-lights descending towards him that obscured the heavens and covered the earth.
The reaction of that Black Nightmare Mountain martial practitioner before Yan Zhaoge was also extremely fast, immediately abandoning his sword as it was caught by Yan Zhaoge.
However, whether it was switching his stance and attacking or immediately retreating, without even having time to perform his next movement, he suddenly discovered his sword, with the blade facing away, bearing down towards him, its original owner!
“Rip!” As if it were the sharpest point, the bladeless hilt broke through the aura-qi that guarded this Black Nightmare Mountain martial practitioner’s body, and pierced directly into his chest.
Everyone nearby looked at Yan Zhaoge, shocked.
Gripping the blade of the sword with two fingers, he had pushed it forward lightly, using the sword hilt as a blade as he directly stabbed that Black Nightmare Mountain martial practitioner to death.
His expression as per usual, Yan Zhaoge retracted his arm, drawing the sword hilt out of his opponent’s chest.
Not even switching his stance, just holding onto the blade of the sword with two fingers like this, as though wanting to commit suicide, Yan Zhaoge used the sword hilt as a sword blade casually as he liked.
However, it was already superior to the swords of most Martial Scholars under the heavens as he slew all the martial practitioners in the vicinity.
Breaking through another wall, Yan Zhaoge entered the centre of the courtyard, instantly slaying a great many more people, clearing out another area.
Other than him, no other live soul remained.
His gaze not rippling in the slightest, Yan Zhaoge abruptly threw the sword within his hands to the side, with it instantly transforming into a sword-light that resembled a bolt of lightning.
Within the black fog, a martial practitioner who had originally been approaching stealthily under the cover of darkness was directly pinned to death on the ground by this sword.
The other side’s Martial Scholars experts were also approaching rapidly, prepared to seal this point of breakthrough as created by Yan Zhaoge.
Directly slamming a late Xiantian Martial Scholar to death with his palm, Yan Zhaoge shook his head, “If you’re not a Martial Grandmaster, don’t come to die.”
As he said this, he swivelled his body, raising his palm and directly locking an incoming fist.
This person had a face that resembled a horse, the aura-qi around his body surging.
Above his head, like Yan Zhaoge, was a spiritual light that shot straight into the heavens, not an illusory light but true radiance.
It was a peak Martial Scholar who had stepped into the Heavenly Connection stage.
The newcomer appeared to still be rather young, with him not being much older than thirty.
As he circulated his aura-qi, countless black winds were formed, as he was clearly of Black Nightmare Mountain’s direct lineage.
His eyes were yellowed and bloodshot, having already fallen to the dark side.
Glaring at Yan Zhaoge, his eyes were filled with resentment and hatred.
“People from Broad Creed Mountain, all deserve to die!”
This horse-face man shouted, his entire body’s aura-qi surging madly as it formed an illusory heaven and earth, filled completely with black hurricanes.
The terrifying black hurricanes shrunk and condensed unceasingly, finally transforming into numerous tangible black lances, directed straight at Yan Zhaoge.
However, Yan Zhaoge’s acupoints pulsed, countless streams of clear qi emanating outwards, majestic as the heavens.
As the opponent’s black hurricanes that resembled lances landed within, they directly vanished.
At the same time, grabbing onto his opponent’s fist, a terrifying aura-qi was abruptly released from Yan Zhaoge’s palm.
That horse-faced man could only feel aura-qi like numerous fire dragons immediately flowing into his body through the meridians of his arm, as the pain of incineration befell him.
Numerous fire dragons rushed within his body, his body’s aura-qi completely unable to withstand it.
In that instant, the horse-faced man’s body blazed within, his flesh and blood, bones, muscles, internal organs and meridians that been tempered countless times exploding one by one.
The horse-faced man’s body stiffened where he stood, a strange red appearing on his face, arms and the other parts of his body that were not covered by his clothes.
Like a crab, being cooked till ripe.
Yan Zhaoge released his hands, this horse-face man’s body falling limply to the ground like a clump of rotten mud.
“Being able to reach the Heavenly Connection stage at this age-in Sacred Grounds, he would be at the level of direct disciples,” Yan Zhaoge shook his head, “In its current dismal condition, Black Nightmare Mountain was still able to recruit such a genius as a disciple-it is a rare thing indeed.
Sadly, he joined the Nine Underworlds.”
Having rushed over with the Immortal Crane Wings, Yan Zhaoge’s speed had been extremely fast.
It was only now that Ah Hu and the others arrived.
Just having arrived, Ah Hu’s claw penetrated through the crown of an opponent’s head.
In other areas of the manor, Broad Creed Mountain martial practitioners were also breaking their way in unceasingly, killing their way to the depths of the manor.
Broad Creed Mountain had long since been prepared for this operation, having deployed an elite force here, the momentum of their attacks hard to withstand.
Let alone the martial practitioners of the Wang Family, even the Decimating Abyss martial practitioners with remnants of Black Nightmare Mountain at their head were hard pressed to stand against Broad Creed Mountain’s offensive.
Rather than the opponents before them, it was instead the aftershocks of the fight of Shi Tie and Sima Chu overhead that Yan Zhaoge and the others were more vigilant of, lest they were swept over by the tail of the typhoon, dying without knowing what hit them.
However, Shi Tie held the upper hand, beating Sima Chui into retreat, the latter hard pressed to parry his blows.
Able to control the battle situation, Shi Tie was doing his best to provide space for Yan Zhaoge and the others.
Additionally, the devilish air was getting denser and denser.
At the same time that it brought harm, it also blocked the aftershocks of the fight between the two Essence Talisman Martial Grandmasters.
This enabled Yan Zhaoge and the others to rest their hearts and directly and courageously rush towards the core of the Devilish Domain Grand Formation.
Having experienced that incident at Clear Concealed Lake, Yan Zhaoge was even more familiar with Devilish Domain Grand Formations now, as he proceeded straight on.
The grand formation before their eyes had yet to be completely formed, with the devilish domain yet to be completely established.
While Yan Zhaoge and the others had their movements affected by it, they were still smooth.
There was only that terrifying air that threw people’s hearts into disarray that was gradually growing stronger, influencing their minds.
Yan Zhaoge felt that whilst rushing forward and slaying his enemies, the killing intent within his heart was strengthening unceasingly, with there seemingly being a voice within his heart telling him to kill all lifeforms that stood before him, regardless of their identities.
“Hmph,” Yan Zhaoge’s gaze deepened as he stabilised his mind once more.
Raising his head and gazing over, he saw that not far away stood a familiar-looking golden tower, a red door of light at its peak, currently projecting a silhouette on the ground below.
Yan Zhaoge leapt, rushing towards the tall golden tower, resembling a great roc spreading its wings as he spread his arms wide, a number of perfectly good heads sent flying as his sword-aura rushed past.

Lets face it, everyone loves a quick fix.
From supplements that produce a six pack to a Sambuca shot to get you drunk faster…
What quick fixes (Style Hacks) can we use to improve any outfit?
In this article today I’m going to highlight my 12 favourite style hacks that I’ve personally tried myself. From using Olive Oil to polish your shoes to using Shirt Stays to keep your shirt tucked in all day…
Here are 12 men’s style hacks that you can use instantly.
1. Get Yourself A Tailor
Ok, this isn’t the greatest ‘hack’ of all time but it’s something that has a huge impact on your overall style.
If you’re buying clothing ‘off the rack’ from your favourite brands and retailers, you want to make sure they fit your body type perfectly. No item of clothing bought ‘off the rack’ will fit you perfectly, so using a tailor to get them altered to fit you is going to instantly transform any outfit.
If you find the right tailor/alteration service it’s cheaper than you think, and here’s a free guide to help you know what you need tailored.
2. Use Shirt Stays To Keep Your Shirt Tucked In
Have you ever tucked your dress shirt in, lifted your arms up and all of a sudden your shirt’s untucked. You tuck it back in, and then an hour later it’s untucked again.
Keeping your shirt tucked in is a common problem that a lot of guys have.
You can do things like the military tuck, you can tuck it into your underpants, these are all things that I’ve shared in a previous video before but there’s a quick style hack that I like to use, and it’s shirt stays.
Shirt stays will keep your shirt tucked in throughout the whole day, and believe it or not they’re more comfortable than you think.
They sit underneath your trousers attaching to the bottom of your shirt and the top of your socks and it keeps the shirt pulled down throughout the day.
There’s a few brands out there now but I recommend Sharp & Dapper for quality (they’re handmade) and comfort.
3. Polish Your Shoes With Olive Oil
Before you shoe connoisseurs start getting angry, I fully understand this isn’t a long term solution. But for a quick, needed polish before you leave the door… this works a treat.
Keeping your dress shoes polished is something that’s hugely important. You could have the greatest dress shoes known to man, but if they’re dirty and unpolished it’s going to have an impact on how good you look.
You can invest in a basic polish kit you use at home yourself, or you can invest in regular visits to get your shoes polished, but using Olive Oil is a simple hack to quickly polish and leave your dress shoes looking shiny.
Simply take a small amount of Olive Oil onto a cloth and polish the leather on your shoes. It’s going to help shine the leather, get rid of dirt and most importantly it’s a quick way to leave your shoes looking polished if you’re in a rush.
4. Use Double Sided Tape To Control Your Collars
Have you ever worn a shirt or a polo shirt and the collars are just out of control?
I’ve been there before, wearing a formal shirt with a few buttons undone and the collars are out of control. You end up looking like something that’s been thrown out from the 70’s.
I personally wear shirts with button-down collars to overcome this challenge, but using a tiny bit of double-sided tape on the inside of the collar can help stick and keep your collars down throughout the day.
Yes, it sounds tacky, but rocking an outfit like this is more tacky…
Alongside the DIY version of using double sided tape you also have Fashion Anchor, which is a product that’s more durable and effective than using double sided tape.
It’ going to keep your collars down throughout the day and you won’t have to worry about it unsticking.
5. Use Instagram For Style Inspiration
Have you ever stared at your wardrobe on evening about to head out and thought to yourself… “I have no idea what to wear”.
I’ve been there before and it’s a challenge a lot of men face (but hate to admit).
But truthfully, you’ve probably got enough clothing in your wardrobe to be able to put together a really good outfit for that night, you’re just lacking inspiration.
To get inspired head over to Instagram and search for a hashtag. If you’re looking to wear your Navy Blazer but you don’t know what to pair it with, search for #navyblazer and take a look at some of the outfits.
A quick search will show me a variety of outfit combinations, giving me some ideas for what to wear. I personally do this quite often, looking at Instagram for inspiration and taking screenshots of the outfits I’m inspired by. When I then go to get dressed for an occasion, I look through those outfits and it gives me ideas on what to wear.
Don’t neglect Instagram as a style tool, it’s not just a place to gain some love from likes and to stalk your ex girlfriends.
6. No Socks? Wear No Show Socks
This is probably something you’ve tried before, especially if you like to showcase those ankles of yours.
Wearing no socks with shoes is more popular than ever, but avoiding socks altogether is a stinking disaster. Not only will it leave your shoes (and feet) stinking, it’s also pretty uncomfortable.
No show socks allow you to rock the ‘no socks’ look without having to deal with the smell or discomfort.
Now before you start, I know there’s a huge debate whether men should even consider leaving the house without socks on, I spoke about it in a recent article… (Socks vs No Socks)
But if you’re a no socks guy, make sure you invest in a good pair of no show socks.
7. Fold Your T-Shirts Vertically
If you’re folding your t-shirts flat and placing them into your wardrobe you’re going to face some challenges…
First, you’re going to find it hard to see what t-shirts you have at the bottom of the pile meaning you’ll only wear the same ones over and over again.
Secondly, you’ll make a mess every time you try and reach for a t-shirt nearer the bottom of the pile.
I’ve been there, before I went through the Style Reinvention series my wardrobe was a mess.
If you fold up your t-shirts or your sweatshirts and place them in vertically, you’re going to be able to see everything that you’ve got. If you want that Black T-Shirt you can see it sitting alongside the other options and easily take it out.
By folding your t-shirts vertically you’re going to be able to see everything that you own, meaning you can own less but get the most out of each item.
Be smart, it’s an easier way of organising your clothes.
8. Use A Hot Shower To Remove Wrinkles From Your Clothes
This hack is great if you’re travelling.
How often do you neatly pack your suitcase, arrive at the hotel, open your suitcase and to your amazement see that your carefully ironed and packed clothing have tried to escape?
Your carefully pressed dress shirts are now wrinkled, your suit looks like it’s been worn and your t-shirts look like slept in bed sheets.
Requesting an iron and spending well needed vacation time ironing is of course an option, but hanging your clothing up in the bathroom and turning on a hot shower can help to remove wrinkles from your clothing.
It works well with all clothing but in particular suits, with the steam from the shower removing the wrinkles so it’s good to wear.
9. Know Your Measurements
If I asked you how big your chest was… would you know?
What about your neck measurements?
Your leg length?
This style hack is simple but it’s important to know your measurements. Why? It’s going to make online shopping a lot easier, it’s going to save you money in tailoring fees and it’s also going to make you more effective when shopping in general.
When you know your measurements, type them into your phone and you can always reference them when buying a new item of clothing.
Fit is of course the most important thing to consider when improving the way that you dress, and being aware of the basic measurements will allow you to buy clothing that fits you well.
Grab a tape measure and measure up your chest, waist, neck, arm length and leg length. You can also measure the width of your thighs and arms, or even head to a tailor who can provide the key measurements for you.
Try to keep on top of this every few months if you’re a gym goer.
10. Unshrink Your Clothing In The Bath
This hack’s a good one. Have you ever shrunk your clothing?
I know that I have, I’m not the greatest with washing and that’s why I tend to avoid it.
If you manage to shrink your favourite t-shirt, soak it in hot water with some conditioner for 5 minutes. Once soaked, start to re-stretch it out. By doing this it’s going to start to revert back to near enough it’s original size and at the same time (if you use a nice conditioner) leave your clothing smelling like Daisy’s.
This hack works well for t-shirts and lighter fabrics, but it’s not always going to work well with more luxury heavier fabrics.
So the next time you use the wrong setting on your washing machine, soak your clothing in hot water with conditioner for 5 minutes and start to re-stretch the garment out.
11. Fix Stuck Zippers With Soap
Picture the scene…
You’re on a first date with a beautiful Tinder match, as you enter the restaurant you start zipping down your jacket ready to take it off and show off the new ‘Muscle Fit’ shirt you’ve just bought. As the zip gets near the bottom, it gets stuck. You try zipping it up, zipping it down, wiggling it around but that zipper isn’t moving anywhere.
What do you do?
Do you keep the jacket on throughout the 3 course meal? Do you try to lift the jacket over your head running the risk of messing up your perfectly blowdried hair?
Head to the bathroom, find some soap and rub it around the stuck zipper.
The soap will loosen the zip allowing you to zip it up or down and in most cases, will stop it from happening again.
If the soap helps loosen the zip but it’s still broken, take it to a local alteration service to get fixed. It’s going to cost, but it’s better than heading out and buying a brand new jacket.
12. Get Clear Skin With Apple Cider Vinegar & Coconut Oil
This is a simple grooming hack, something I learned from Chris Winters in a podcast episode with him.
We all know grooming products can be quite costly, it can also be quite daunting in choosing the right product. So a more natural approach is to use Apple Cider Vinegar and Coconut Oil.
I know what you’re thinking…
But adding a small amount of Apple Cider Vinegar to some warm water and scrubbing your face with it acts as a face wash that will help with acne and oily skin.
You won’t end up smelling like a bag of chips because you’ll rinse it off afterwards, and a small amount of coconut oil can be used as a cheap but effective moisturiser.
It’s a natural, cheap and effective way of improving your skin.
Bonus: Pay Attention To The Details
A stylish man knows the importance of focusing on the finer details.
From the quality of construction to the dimple in your tie, paying attention to the details of your outfit shows that you know what you’re doing.
Accessories are a great way to add a subtle touch of personality, but don’t just throw a tie on and expect to make an impression.
Spending time on the knot you choose, adding a tie dimple and even focusing on the length of your tie all make an impact.
So focus on the outfit as a whole, but don’t let yourself down with the finer details.

Mick Fleetwood picked up his first Contax camera 20 years ago, when he realized that touring the world with Fleetwood Mac started to feel a lot like childhood. Fleetwood’s father served in Britain’s Royal Air Force, and his family lived “like Gypsies” all over England, southern France and the Mediterranean coast, the drummer writes in his new memoir, “Play On: Now, Then, and Fleetwood Mac.”
Fleetwood uses a different simile in a recent phone interview, describing touring like “being in the Army, stationed everywhere.” Traveling reminded him of his dad’s hobby of photographing the family all over Europe. With fellow shutterbug and bassist John McVie, Fleetwood shot various countrysides during concert tours in the 1990s.
“My dad was just one of those people who took loads of pictures. It was the curse of the family,” Fleetwood recalls with a laugh. “So it was just muscle memory, I think, that it became a natural fit for me. It was just me trying to capture where I was going, and being in a rock ‘n’ roll band, it was almost like getting posted here, there and everywhere, probably even more than my dad ever was in the Forces.”
Evidence of Fleetwood’s trading drumbeats for camera clicks appears this month at Fort Lauderdale’s Wentworth Gallery, where his show “Reflections: An Exhibition of Original Photographs by Mick Fleetwood” is on display. Fleetwood is scheduled to visit the gallery and meet buyers of his photography on Thursday, Dec. 18, the night before Fleetwood Mac’s On With the Tour stop at the BB&T Center in Sunrise. The show falls halfway through the group’s first tour in 16 years as the best-known iteration of Fleetwood Mac, the “Rumours”-era lineup, including the recently returned Christine McVie, who left in 1998.
“The energy [onstage] feels so electric and so vibrant, not only because of the return of the band, but because Christine is making us all complete again,” Fleetwood, 67, says. “Not to sound like an old hippie here, but it’s like she never left.”
The “Reflections” photographs span about six years, Fleetwood says, starting with the black-and-white landscapes and long dirt roads of England he discovered while preparing to move his mother to Maui, Hawaii, where he lives. Other color photographs capture the splendor found among Hawaii’s hills and mountains, including “The Jungle Takes Back,” depicting a blue pickup covered in vines and a rear-windshield sticker that reads, “Keep It Hawaiian.” In “Shrooms,” he shoots a patch of “little green magic mushrooms” he found on a foothill, which is probably the only drug, he admits, that he hasn’t taken over the decades.
Fleetwood says the tour, while “grueling” when combined with his appearances and the book tour for his memoir, co-authored with Anthony Bozza, is nothing he can’t handle.
“Look at someone like B.B. King or Tony Bennett or Elton John, and you’ll really have your hair curled as to how much they work,” Fleetwood says. “Compared to their really crazy scheduling, we’re in good shape. But I’m that model of a person, anyhow. I don’t like sitting around, twiddling my thumbs.”
Fleetwood Mac will perform 8 p.m. Friday, Dec. 19 at the BB&T Center, 1 Panther Parkway, in Sunrise. Tickets cost $45.25 to $175.25 at Ticketmaster.com. Tickets will go on sale 10 a.m. Monday, Dec. 15, for the band’s March 21 show at the AmericanAirlines Arena in Miami.
An artist reception for “Reflections, An Exhibition of Original Photographs by Mick Fleetwood,” on view through Dec. 21, will run 7-9 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 18 at Wentworth Gallery (819 E. Las Olas Blvd., Fort Lauderdale). Buyers of his artworks can meet Fleetwood from 6 to 7 p.m. Call 954-468-0685 or go to WentworthGallery.com.

Cast: Lau Ching Wan, Louis Koo, Daniel Wu, Zhang Jingchu, Alex Fong, Michael Wong, Stephen Au, Sharon Luk, Queenie Chu, Henry Fong, Lok Ying Kwan, Lam Kar Wah, Waise Lee, William Chan
RunTime: 1 hr 40 mins
Released By: Cathay-Keris Films & InnoForm Media
Opening Day: 30 July 2009
A major stock exchange in the world, Hong Kong attracts not only money but also many who try to manipulate the market. At the Hong Kong Police Force Commercial Crime Bureau, an operation is under way against insider trading involving Feng Hua International, a listed company. A man nicknamed the “Boss” is behind it all, and identified as the chief suspect.
The interception team at the Criminal Intelligence Bureau is sent in. Led by Inspector Johnny Leung (by Lau Ching-wan), the team has veteran cop Gene Yeung (by Louis Koo) and the young rookie Max Lam (by Daniel Wu). They infiltrate Feng Hua International to install interception devices and start to monitor the company’s phone traffic.
A month goes by and nothing significant has been intercepted. The three are bored and morale is low when they overhear the management’s plan to boost the share price. As Gene and Max are desperately in need of money, Johnny unwillingly withholds this information from his supervisors. The two decide to make the most of this opportunity and buy heavily on the company’s shares with a huge sum of money borrowed from a loan shark. Johnny is furious when he learns this, but nothing can be done at this point to retrieve the money now locked up in the shares.
The share price of Feng Hua International has gone so high that trading is suspended. The three fail to retrieve the capital and are on the verge of turning against each other in face of the crisis. Meanwhile, Johnny catches a dispute in the company’s management. The Chairman, Ringo Low, is planning to sell high and cash out his shares; the other Board Directors decide to assassinate him in order to secure their interests. They seek help from the Boss.
Low’s life is at stake. However the trio is well aware that if he lives, the share price will plunge and not only their money, but their lives and even their families will be compromised. The three are torn between money, their future and justice. Finally, Johnny comes up with a perfect plan: to kidnap Low.
The abduction goes smoothly as planned. After what feels like the longest weekend in their lives, trading in Feng Hua International resumes and the price surges uncontrollably. Just when the three start to believe they have succeeded, the price plunges again. The unusual price fluctuations catch the attention of senior officials in the government and the Police Force, who have long been suspecting police involvement in the affair. The undercover operation is aborted; an investigation is ordered against the three cops – Johnny finds out about this as he counter-intercepts communication within the Bureau.
Until the day this reviewer can age gracefully
and look good smoking a cigarette while conversing with his
buddies on a high rise rooftop terrace, he would have to make
do with watching Hong Kong movies like this one, hoping that
he could one day become as suave as its leading men Lau Ching
Wan, Louis Koo or Daniel Wu. Yes, the Pearl of the Orient
has produced yet another movie to excite fans of Asian films,
and in this case, fans of Asian films featuring lots of rugged
male bonding. And here’s the good news: this latest
export from the makers team behind the acclaimed hits Infernal
Affairs (2002) and Protégé (2007) does not disappoint.
Already veterans in the crime thriller genre,
Felix Chong and Alan Mak write and direct Lau (Mad Detective,
My Name is Fame), Koo (All's Well, Ends Well 2009, Connected)
and Wu (Shinjuku Incident, Blood Brothers) in this intense
drama about a trio of police officers conduct surveillance
on a listed company. And what’s an intense drama without
some grey shades of human nature? In a moment of desperation
to salvage family poverty, the three of them become entangled
in a web of deceit which will culminate in a remarkable showdown
which involves car crashes, gun shootouts and lots of blood.
Nobody plays up human drama like the Hong
Kong filmmakers. It may be a case of cultural relevance: genres
like this appeal to Asian audiences because of their relevancies
and dramatic effects. Friendships, man and woman relationships,
parent and child relationships are all intricately explored
in this movie. The art of the filmmakers’ storytelling
is exemplified with the fine scriptwriting. There is quite
a lot of talking in this 100 minute movie, and the winning
dialogues between the characters reflect the identifiable
personalities and authentic human relationships which contemporary
viewers can relate to. A simple scene of the three male leads
conversing on a high rise rooftop terrace is a joy to watch,
simply because it is something we can envision ourselves doing.
Of course, the only difference here is, not
all of us have star appeal like Lau, Koo and Wu. The chemistry
between the three men is spot on, and they’d have audiences
believe that they are plagued by the various difficulties
in life. Lau effortlessly plays a forlorn man who has mellowed
with life over the years. Koo somewhat overacts with his increased
weight to portray a man who needs money to keep his family
together. Wu’s performance as an educated and polite
man is quietly assuring. These characters are familiar personalities
which we can connect with. The star studded movie is further
spiced up with other quality performances from supporting
roles played by Alex Fong (If You Are the One), Zhang Jingchu
(The Beast Stalker) and Michael Wong (Seven Swords). Expect
some acting nominations to come along during the awards season.
the unnecessarily melodramatic finale, the movie is still
a must watch for its high production values. Set against the
towering Hong Kong buildings, these range from an engaging
music score and a visually stunning cinematography to a stylish
editing style and a solid art direction. These complement
the story, which make us think, under this fine visual package,
the underlying message of the darkness that the human soul
is capable of is a poignant one.
must watch human drama that is poignantly affecting)

Now that I have finished reviewing all the albums that The Who released during its original run, the time is ripe for individualizing the five studio records of the guys I can’t do without. As I always say, this is just a matter of personal tastes. I have to say it again because having included “Face Dances” at the expense of “Who Are You” or “Tommy” could end up in me being lynched. I am just highlighting the albums I can connect with the most. You can let us all know what you think by posting a comment below with your own favorites.
1- Who’s Next
The Who’s most consistent album from start to finish, and that is specially remarkable considering the tensions it caused within the band, the friction with their longtime managers and the risks that they took by embracing new technology so openly. If you listen to classic rock stations, you already know more than half of the songs on offer here – “Baba O’ Rile” (aka “Teenage Wasteland”), “Behind Blue Eyes”, Won’t Get Fooled Again”…
And the ones that you don’t know are no B leaguers in any sense (“Getting In Tune”, “The Song Is Over”, “Going Mobile”…)
A very problematic album turned to be a timeless work about identity – Pete Townshend’s key theme, and one that few have investigated as thoroughly as him. The 1996 remaster put everything in a mix as balanced as that of “Who’s Next”, making listening to this double album as pleasant to the ear as it is to your intellection.
3- Face Dances
How good would a poppy Who sound? The answer lies in this album, the first with Kenny Jones onboard. It produced their last chart hit, the dynamite “You Better You Bet”. But it also had some great songs in the shape of “Don’t Let Go The Coat” and “Another Tricky Day”. In each and every case, Roger’s delivery is more nuanced than usual. It is a pleasure to listen to him on this record. And the remastered CD is a true gem. Continue reading

Going green in the bathroom isn’t always the easiest of exercises – because it has to stand up to heavy-duty use, resist damp and be amenable to cleaning.
It’s hard to recycle used bathroom products and hard to install stuff that’s got a decent green pedigree in the first place.
But, do not despair. There are still steps you can take.
If you’re interested in finding practical ways to make your bathroom cleaner and greener you might enjoy this article in the Seattle Times which suggests some ways to green up your bathroom:
Don’t overlook the bathroom as you turn the home green
Pop in the shower first, and take a look at your shower curtain. Yikes! If it has mold or grunge (we’ve all been there), you need to clean it or replace it. Several cleaning-tip Web sites recommend tossing your shower curtain in the washing machine with a couple towels, using detergent and a little bleach. But don’t put it in the dryer; let it drip dry.
Most shower curtains are made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), a plastic that can emit toxics into the environment, especially during production. When you need a new shower curtain, consider a greener, chlorine-free material called polyethylene vinyl acetate (PEVA or EVA).
You can also reduce your water use by installing a low-flow showerhead. Read full article here…

The Middle East and African (MENA) oil and gas pipelines sector has been impacted due to low oil prices and weak demand as a result of COVID-19. The pandemic has affected the progress of several projects, forcing operators to opt for alternative strategies such as delaying project completion or reducing capital expenditures. While these approaches may provide a temporary solution, MENA operators should look to adopt more robust strategies such as focusing more on remote operations through automation and digitalization or having contingency plans to ensure minimal impact on critical operations, to bail them out of any such future crisis, says GlobalData, a leading data and analytics company.
Haseeb Ahmed, Oil and Gas Analyst at GlobalData, comments: “One of the primary strategies that a majority of pipeline operators have been falling back on, is to halt or delay any avoidable current or upcoming projects. With uncertainty looming large on the prospective projects, pipeline companies are compelled to make tough decisions to keep the operations running.”
The contractor of the Niger-Benin pipeline has halted all construction activities pertaining to the project. It is unclear when the project might start commercial operations. On similar lines, construction work on the 272 km South Pars Phase 11 (I & II) pipelines has been delayed due to COVID-19. This is likely to push the start year of the project by a year to 2023.
Besides stalling or delaying project progress, pipeline companies in the region are seeking financial assistance or reducing capital expenditures. The Algerian state-owned pipeline company, Sonatrach is in discussion with foreign investors for funds to carry out its upcoming projects. Saudi Aramco, on the other hand, is adopting the strategy of reducing capex by nearly 26% for the year 2020.
Ahmed concludes: “The oil and gas pipeline sector might potentially be rife with consolidations, as the current crisis could push small and medium-sized companies to the brink of extinction. Although pipeline companies are making enormous efforts to tide over the current situation, it might take longer to recoup, given the recurring nature of the pandemic and its scale of the impact on the oil and gas sector.”

Fantasy League 50 Goals mixes elements of football prediction games with a bit of social deduction - each player is put in charge of his own soccer club, but instead of managing players, stadiums, etc. they are given a pool of 50 goals to spend on 25 matches in the season.
For each weekend all player has to do is decide how many goals will he score to the opponent, but that is where the deduction begins - you have to guess how many goals your opponent is willing to spend. You can see how many goals they have left in their pool, but they can see how many you have left, so with each week the game is getting a bit tougher.
Since season lasts for 9 weeks you have to pace yourself and choose wisely when and how many goals invest - should you keep a lot of goals in reserve for the end of the season or spread them evenly throughout the season. Also you have to predict what is your opponents strategy.

Planet Explorers is a 3D sci-fi sandbox adventure game developed by Pathea Games for PC, Mac, and Linux and it is available for purchase on Steam Early Access. It is the year 2287 and a human colony ship has crash landed on the planet Maria in an entirely different star system. A few of the colonists managed to survive the crash landing in some lifeboats, but the planet they've discovered is far from forgiving with its fierce, otherworldly creatures. It won't only be the human survivors that want to preserve their own well-being. Now the remaining survivors must work with each other to stay safe and healthy while attempting to create a new home for themselves.
Various Types of Content: Singleplayer games have three different game modes: Story Mode, Adventure Mode, and Build Mode. Multiplayer games can be of two types: either Co-op or Versus.
Procedural Games: Every game is procedurally generated from a seed that will give you tons of unique experiences and play-throughs.
Survival Activities: You'll need to do everything and anything you can to survive. That means farming, ranching, building, making tools, building colonies, and conducting diplomacy.

My favourite drugstore brand GOSH are releasing some new items for Spring Summer 2016.
Cool in Copenhagen Palette (£10.99)
This is a great set of neutral to cool tones that are all matte and thankfully have a deliciously black shade . the shadows are buttery and blend like colours from a much more expensive range. This palette is a real hidden gem. I am not really a neutrals girl but these colour blend really well with my purples and other bright colours. My favourite product form the collection.
Forever Eyeshadow in Matte (£6.29)
Hurrah – that is all I can say. These are a great on the lid by themselves as a wash of colour but if you can get hold a a NYX jumbo pencil in this cool shade or a MAC paint pot is out of your budget this is a great long wearing true colour option. They don’t crease and you can blend out the colour with your fingers or a brush. GOSH need to bring out a matte purple and quickly.
Velvet Matte Lipsticks (£6.99)
You can find out how I feel about the velvet matte lipstick range HERE. They are fab managing to be matte without drying out your lips to within an inch of their lives. These four shades have been added to the range and the colours retain the cool toned feel for Spring 2016. There is a shade for everyone.
Lip Oils (£7.49)
A moisturising gel formula that is actually a lip oil. Made from a blend of Sea Buckthorn, Moringa, Macademia and Argan oils, they are designed for the lips, but the texture means that you can use them anywhere, like cuticles, flyaway hairs or even as a highlighter on the face. The smell of these is not great, but it does dissipate quickly and it is great to have this technology in your local high street chemist.
Lumi Drops (£7.99)
Lumi drops are liquid highlighters that are not overly sparkly or glittery. Another fantastic launch from GOSH. Firstly I love the dinky size. The thin nozzle to dispense the product is genius – it means that you are going to get the amount that you need. The texture and formula is perfect for adding a subtle glow or highlighting to the gawds. Three shades mean that whatever your complexion there is a colour for you. Great product.
Illuminating Primer (£14.99)
This product has a pearlised finish which gives the illuminating glow and provides the perfect base to apply make up over. The pinky pearl tone does not really work with my skin tone, but I am a huge fan of the GOSH hydrating primer so if have a lighter complexion this product is definitely worth a try.
Rebel Eyes Mascara (£8.99)
Rebel Eyes sounds dramatic and the effect on the lashes is, but this best thing about this mascara is that the formula is nourishing to your lashes. Castor oil is more commonly found in lipsticks and Sea Buckthorn is high in fatty acids which is great for conditioning the lashes.
These products are in store from February 10th (apart from the primer which is in stores now!) but the lovely team at GOSH have provided me with one set of the new collection to giveaway to celebrate these exciting products coming to stores.

Perseus News and Updates
- Please visit the Perseus Updates blog for news on project activities, research, and initiatives. We invite you to contact us via email to the Perseus webmaster if you have any comments, questions, or concerns.
- November 22, 2022: A great deal has happened since our last update!
- The most up-to-date versions of the Greek and Latin sources in Perseus are available on the Scaife Viewer, which, as of this date, now hosts 2,412 works in 3,192 editions and translations (1,639 in Greek and 636 in Latin) and 69.7 million words: 32.1 million in Greek, 16.3 million in Latin, with the rest consisting of English translations and sources in other languages.
- Beyond Translation is developing a next generation reading environment for Perseus that will combine the deeper coverage of the Scaife Viewer, new versions of services from Perseus 4.0, and a new generation of resources. Along with P4 component upgrades, such as dynamic maps and convenient access to lexica and commentaries, Beyond Translation incorporates exhaustive syntactic explanations and alignments at the word and phrase level between source text and translation; explanations of meter; recorded performances linked to the text; and interactive textual variants.
Support from the Mellon Foundation, Tufts University, Harvard's Center for Hellenic Studies and, above all, the National Endowment for the Humanities have made the Beyond Translation project possible.
- April 24, 2019: Current Projects and Initiatives
- Work continues on the Scaife Viewer, our first new reading environment in nearly 15 years. For more, please read About the Scaife Viewer and send us your comments.
- The Perseus Digital Library is a partner and supporter of Open Greek and Latin, an international collaboration committed to creating an open educational resource featuring a corpus of digital texts, deep-reading tools, and open-source software. Look for new OGL materials in the Scaife Viewer.
- News, help and support-related content for this site ("Perseus 4.0") will be updated periodically, but the site collections and infrastructure are no longer under active development as we begin the transition to the next phase of Perseus.

Review: Zen Pinball 2
Zen Pinball 2 (ZP2) is a slightly different release then what we usually see on PSN. Instead of a new group of tables to play, ZP2 combines past tables from the original Zen Pinball, Marvel Pinball, and all of the DLC and makes them available in one game. While having all your tables in one spot isn’t something that will get a lot of people excited, the fact that the game is available for free and imports all your old Zen Studios pinball purchases should.
While you may have played almost all the tables offered in ZP2 before, this is the first time they are playable on the Vita. Besides just bringing the tables over the already great physics engine has been updated. The ball behaves as real as ever acting how you expect them to when hitting off of bumpers and going up orbits but still allows for the physics defying craziness that Zen Pinball is known for. The graphics have also been given a once over and the bright colors really look great on the Vita’s screen. For the trophy lovers out there the game also brings new trophies, offering two for each table to collect. While I love having new trophies to strive for I was disappointed when I looked a little closer and found that they were just renamed trophies from the original games.
ZP2 once again offers a good selection of eight different views to choose from, so you can usually always find one that works best for you. But even with the best view there are still times that I found it hard to pick out the layout on some of the tables, especially when it came to objects on different height levels overlapping each other. Though having the game on the Vita gives you one more choice that helps solve that problem: the ability to play in portrait mode. By turning the Vita on its side at any time the game automatically switches to portrait mode giving you a fuller view of the table that makes it quite easier to pick out the table features and wording. The only problem I found with this is that unless you want to hold the system awkwardly to use the buttons to control the flippers you need to use either the front touch screen or back touch pad to use them. While both of these touch methods work, I personally don’t find them as responsive as physical buttons and it can lead to situations of accidentally flicking the flippers when you don’t mean to.
Zen Studios does a great job of making it all about getting high scores and besting your friends on the leaderboards. While playing you will get notifications on how close you are to beating a friend’s table score or setting a new personal best. You are rewarded a #1 medal when you get the top score out of your friends on a table so you can quickly see which tables you are reigning over your friends on. Besides your table scores there is also Pro Score which takes in account all of the scores you have set on the tables you own, which is a great way to check out who out of your friends is the pinball champion. There is also a Team Score which adds the Pro Scores of everyone on your friends list which is a nice incentive to have more ZP2 players on your friends list to boast your Pro Score and also new opponents to compete with. Since social media is all the rage these days Facebook support has also been added for posting scores which is a nice way to announce to the world your accomplishments. For those which only have Wi-Fi Vita’s you also don’t have to worry about having a great run and then it just sitting in your local scores because you happened to be out of Wi-Fi range. Your highest obtained local score is uploaded to the leaderboards automatically the next time you are playing ZP2 logged in, though it would have been nice if it kept local copies of your friend’s high scores so you have a score to gun for when playing offline.
Besides score chasing on the leaderboards the game also supports local and online multiplayer. Local hot-seat mode allows you to play with up to 4 players passing the Vita back and forth after every ball with the person having the highest score after all balls are drained wins. Online multiplayer is also up to four players but you have unlimited balls with a score percentage penalty subtracted for each ball lost with either a race to a certain score or a time limit. While these modes can be fun and are a nice addition to have I don’t really find them that compelling since no scores are saved, and by the looks of games being hosted I am not the only one. The game also contains support for Tournaments but none are available at launch.
The base game of ZP2 is free and like I mentioned above all of the tables you have already purchased for Zen Pinball and Marvel Pinball can be imported and played for no additional cost. For fans of Zen Pinball since the beginning this is a great value to have tables that have been purchased in the past updated and playable in one location. For those who are just jumping on the bandwagon now the game offers demos for the 26 tables that allows you to play each for a couple of minutes. There are 27 tables all together, but the ZP2 version of the Fantastic Four Table will be released at a later time. Though no scores will be saved during these demos and it’s unlikely you will actually make it to your second ball, they give you a good overview of the table and its great having hands-on experience when deciding whether or not to purchase. While all the tables do carry over from past purchases your scores however do not. While I personally didn’t have any extremely high scores, this could be disappointing for someone who spent a lot of time with these tables in the past.
One of my complaints with Marvel Pinball was with the table guides. While each guide did a good job of describing the main features of the table, they were just blocks of text. Because of this it could at times be difficult to understand exactly what part of the table they were talking about. In ZP2 this issue is no more with each section of the table guide showing an animated view of the table section and using red arrows to point out what the text is pertaining to. While you will still pick up most of your knowledge by playing it’s nice to be able to quickly check how to get an extra ball or start a table mission.
Zen Pinball 2 is a unique entry on PSN. Offering the download for free and giving players the ability to import tables from purchased games/DLC is a great value for long time players. The game is also a great “purchase” for new players presenting all of Zen Studios tables in one location with the ability to pick and choose what you want to buy. While some tables, like those contained in the original Zen Pinball and Marvel Pinball, are only available in packs you can easily download and start playing with only purchasing a table or two and get plenty of enjoyment out of the game for less than $10. The Zen Pinball gameplay has also transitioned to the Vita wonderfully to the point where I prefer to play on the Vita then the PS3.With updated graphics, physics, and more tables coming in the future Zen Pinball 2 is an outstanding virtual pinball platform.
A copy of this game was provided by the publisher for review purposes. For more info on our review policy click here. This review is for the PlayStation Vita version of the game.
What I Like:
- All my favorite tables in one game
- Scores obtained offline get updated when playing online
- Updated table guilds
- Portrait view
What I Dislike:
- Using the touch screen/pad to control the flippers during portrait view
- Recycled trophies with different names
- No scores from previous games carry over

Quote of the week.
"When I go biking, I repeat a mantra of the day's sensations: bright sun, blue sky, warm breeze, blue jay's call, ice melting and so on. This helps me transcend the traffic, ignore the clamorings of work, leave all the mind theaters behind and focus on nature instead. I still must abide by the rules of the road, of biking, of gravity. But I am mentally far away from civilization. The world is breaking someone else's heart." - Diane Ackerman

Xao Xu’s colleagues teased that they would sponsor him to have his long hair cut
and he rose to the challenge with little Ying Ying being the beneficiary.
Hao Xu ( Vincent ) had not had a haircut in over 10 years but he bravely stepped up to the scissors in order to help a young girl in need. Top Stylist, Scarlet Salmons, set to work on the flowing locks and a new Hao Xu appeared !
Best of all was that they raised 6,000 rmb towards the cost of essential surgery for Ying Ying, who was born with spina bifida. The operation was a success and Ying Ying was released from pain.
Ying Ying is currently cared for by China Little Flower Group Homes Project.
The balance of the cost of her surgery was met by money donated to Roundabout. Thank you to everyone who made this possible.

When we saw these great looking citrus squeezers,
we ordered them on the spot! (we were so excited).
When our first shipment arrived,
we couldn't wait to try one and were we surprised!
Never have we seen so much juice come from one
You just slice your fruit in half, place it in
the squeezer (backwards it seemed to us),
squeeze it and voila!! Our lemon was reduced
to a whimpering inside out skin with nary a
drop of juice left. Made from sturdy cast aluminum
and powder coated to match their intended
victim, these are wonderful tools and built to last.
Choose from Lemon, Lime or Orange or save
by getting all three. (You will want them all anyway)
ON SALE NOW!
Lime Squeezer #UM-305G $12.95
Lemon Squeezer #UM-333Y $13.95
Orange Squeezer #UM-300J $14.95
Set of three #UM-SET3 $39.95
These are without doubt the best tongs we have
seen. The precision locking mechanism works
smoothly and easily. The hinge is solid so you
don't wind up with the ends crossed over each
other. They line up perfectly every time so you
can grasp your food without the tongs twisting.
They feature non-slip neoprene handle grips.
Three sizes available, choose from 9", 12", or 16"
Great for mixing and serving spaghetti
(try them on salads too!).

This post is simply for the purpose of pulling back the "lovely lace curtain" that graces the window of a typical pastor's wife's tidy little life. (If you've read this blog more than twice, you are already smiling at the sarcasm spread thick like peanut butter in that sentence.)
Fortunately, the days are long gone when people supposed that pastors only really work one day a week. And our dear congregation tend to have a totally opposite view; regularly encouraging us to take some time to breathe.
While my day yesterday wasn't exactly normal, it did contain elements that could be found in every pastor's day - several days a week - and for some pastors, even more. So I thought you might enjoy a brief recap.
4:00 AM - Wide awake so I'd might as well get up and have some quiet time. Great opportunity for prayer interrupted only by Gracie and Bella.
6:00 AM - Ready to blog! Woo Hoo!
7:20 AM - Opt out of attending minister's breakfast meeting (sent my dad with Frank instead. smile.) Begin gathering ingredients for dinner. (My day to prepare dinner for the VBS team.)
Get dressed, straighten house, make a couple of calls, catch ride to office.
10:00 AM - Meet Judy for trip to Home Depot. (We are putting in a shower at the church to accommodate our upcoming youth missions event; the team will be sleeping at the church.) Ninety minutes spent selecting faucets, lighting fixtures, vanity, etc. (Carefully balancing the three elements critical to any church project: Quality, Appearance, COST!) Thirty minutes spent at service desk waiting p-a-t-i-e-n-t-l-y for someone to verify our tax exemption. AHHGGG!
Third phone call while there, "Sheri, are you guys almost here? The electrician needs those things now!"
12:30 PM - QUICKLY unload everything at the church so Judy can make her next appointment. Return phones calls. Dash across street to spend quality time with my dad over a sandwich. Back to the office.
1:30 PM - Two rather sticky meetings back to back. (Thankful for early morning quiet time! Needed the peace and wisdom from those moments. Smile.)
3:30 PM - Head to kitchen to prepare sloppy joes for dinner. OH NO! Hamburger meet is still frozen!! Okay, stay calm. Order pizza! Electrician says I have the wrong light for the shower area and need to run exchange it. Kristin needs two more items from Wal-mart for VBS and since I'm picking up pizza in 45 minutes can I grab those things too? (Do you hear the music of the 1812 Overture in your head yet?) Spend some quality time with my sister on the phone while running these errands.
4:45 PM - Throw pizza, drinks and some salad elements in the door for the VBS team; dash on to Home Depot for light exchange.
5:10 PM - Run into Leonard who helped us at Home Depot in the morning. He helps me locate the light I need; becomes curious about our project; loves the idea that our youth group will be volunteering in our city; new to the area; looking for a church; will probably visit. (Thank you, Lord for helping me be patient and polite when he was working on our tax exempt info earlier.)
5:50 PM - Throw light at electrician. (Smile.) Run down to the auditorium just after service has started. Participate fully in VBS: Sing, Jump, Clap, Yell, SMILE, High-five, Hug Little Ones, etc., etc.
8:30 PM - Leave early so I can ride home with my dad. Enjoy a can of tuna and a summer tomato! Yuuummm.
10:00 PM - Can't stay awake, fading fast, good-night!
There you have it! Yep, you knew it all along, didn't you? Most pastors have crazy lives just like you do. So, when they announce that they'll be out of town for a few days this summer you can give them a big hug, a knowing smile and tell them to enjoy themselves. Hope your day is blessed!

For several months I have been working on a strategic business model to run a business online from start to financial freedom, that you expose is a collection of more than seven months of research and application, and let me tell you that Results are beginning to see, so I want to share these points with the desire to make them reflect on the decision to start a business. That involves taking a business from idea to financial freedom and overall business where you no longer need to keep growing? There are several steps involved in bringing a business online from the idea all the way to freedom, not only financially if not total freedom, where the business no more dependent on you and do not need to be more present in the business. These steps are not taken into account by most employers either because they have forgotten, not someone who has been ordered and put in a plan so clear for execution, or lack of knowledge. These ten steps have been tested and have allowed many Empire Distinguish between an opportunity and a distraction. A good entrepreneur can see opportunities everywhere, but the right opportunity that will grow your business in a dynamic is very different to any opportunity or any business idea. You need to be able to say what a good opportunity for you. Knowing the vital areas that are crucial to build a high-growth business. The critical elements to crystallize a product in a market where the opportunity lies in the grand scheme of business. .

Easy-to-Enlist Officer Candidates in Short Supply
Experience and discussions with people in Shuls indicates that about 20% of your member families will be continuously active in running the Shul. If your Shul has 100 member families, you will have approximately 20 active families to fill 4 officer positions: president, vice president, treasury and secretary. After a few years you will run out of easy-to-enlist officer candidates. What do you do then?
The first method to fill your officer slots is to ask people who have not been active to get more involved. A certain amount of people will respond positively if asked by the right person, at the right time, in the right way. Many will say no. We can’t blame them. People are very busy with their jobs and family and it’s not an easy exercise to determine how to allocate one’s “free” time. You may achieve more success in this avenue if the members of the selection/begging committee were officers themselves at some point. I would also recommend putting some thought into how to respectfully ask the potential officer.
If you’re not successful on the beg, anther options is to buy. One type of buying involves offering officers some sort of financial incentive such as reduced membership. The problem with this is the importance of community service is diminished and the question of why some people receive incentives and some don’t is explicitly or implicitly raised. Another type of buying is outsourcing secretarial, financial functions and making those officer positions directorial rather than operational.
Another option to fill your open slots is to recycle past officers. It’s not uncommon for a past treasurer or secretary to accept a post as vice-president or president. Another variation is when a person accepts a position year after year. As I mentioned in a previous post, our Shul has 4 treasurers, and 3 of them are perennials.
The biggest recycling question is whether to recycle presidents. On one hand, the President can be a very demanding job and asking them to do it more than once requires thought and discussion. On the other hand, the set of managerial, leadership and personality traits necessary for an effective president are hard to find, so the pool of candidates is even smaller than the pool for the other officer positions.
Finding Shul Officers is not easy, so thanks to all those who have served, and hopes for those who haven’t to seriously consider getting more involved.

Omagh bomb appalling and indefensible
Sinn Fein MP for Mid Ulster Martin McGuinness reacting to the news of the bomb in Omagh today said:
``I am appalled and disgusted at what has happened in Omagh today. It was an indefensible action.
``My thoughts are with the families of those who were killed and of course with the many people who were injured. I offer my condolences to the bereaved families and wish a speedy recovery to the injured.
``This appalling act was carried out by those opposed to the peace process. It is designed to wreck the process and everyone should work to ensure the peace process continues. I call on whatever group was responsible to stop immediately.
``Those responsible are aligning themselves with the forces opposed to a democratic settlement of the conflict here.''

All rights reserved by St James Syrian Orthodox Church |Copyright © 2015-2016
7 Conklintown Rd, Wanaque, NJ 07465 USA
Our heritage from Kerala and Malankara
Most of the members of St. James Church, New Jersey immigrated to United States of America from Kerala, India. Kerala is one of southern most states on the west side of India. A quarter of the Christians in India are from Kerala alone. Of the total 32 million people in the province of Kerala, the Christians constitute around 20 % i.e.; 6.5 million. A few more thousands of Kerala Christians are residing outside the state, like us in the USA.
Christianity reached the shores of Kerala with the arrival of St Thomas in AD52. St. Thomas is depicted as the apostle of India by the faith, tradition old liturgy, church history, the views of historians etc. The Syrian Orthodox Church Strongly believes that St.Thomas, one of the twelve disciples of the Jesus, had established the Church in India.St.Thomas reached Kodungallur by ship in AD52. Apostle is believed to have started his gospel mission in India, from a small town called "Malayankara" on the sea coast of 'Paravur' Taluk in Kerala, at a short distance away from Cranganore Port. The church in Kerala was later known as ‘Malankara Church’ (Phonetically similar to 'Malayankara').
Although the name ‘Malankara’ is not widely used today, the official name of the Archdiocese for the members of the church from India in North America is called ‘Malankara Syriac Orthodox Church’ to distinguish this diocese from other SOCA(Syriac Orthodox Church of Antioch) dioceses in North America. This reflects the fact that most of the member of this Archdiocese came from Malankara Church in Kerala.
The SOCA church in Kerala is called ‘Jacobite Syrian Church’, a name adopted in memory of Mor Yacub Burd`ono (Mor Jacob Baradeus), who rejuvenated the SOCA in the 6th century. Even though SOCA churches in different parts of the world are called differently in different languages, the official name of the church remains unchanged throughout the centuries as `idto suryoyto treeysath shubh’ in Syriac. The 'Syrian Christians' numbering about 5 million, spread across various denominations is the largest ethnic group among the Malankara (Kerala) Christians.

We came up with this dressing one evening when we were cooking a supper that needed a salad. Normally we would have had a mesclun salad with vinaigrette. However, the only lettuce we had was iceberg, which doesn't take well to a vinaigrette dressing. So, we decided to experiment and came up with this dressing. It's simple, and very tasty on a lettuce such as iceberg which needs a dressing with more body than vinaigrette. This dressing also adds a lot to a wrap with Rice Pilaf (see recipe), hummus, and assorted fresh veggies.
|1||clove||GarlicSmall clove, minced|
|1||tbsp||White Wine Vinegar|
|2||ScallionsOptional, very thinly sliced|
|1||Simply, mix these ingredients together for a very tasty salad dressing with a little attitude some might say. This dressing stands up well as a dip, and also with crunchy-type salad greens such as iceberg lettuce.|

Just a week after the deadly Paris attacks, Anonymous, a group of “hacktivists” announced that ISIS is planning a series of attacks on Sunday, November 22nd throughout Europe, Asia, and the United States. According to International Business Times, the group revealed that ISIS is targeting a number of events and venues, including A WWE Survivor Series Event in Atlanta, GA, University Pastoral Day in Lebanon, The Global Catholic Church Celebrations of Feast of Christ the King, and others.
According to CBS News, the FBI is aware of the threats but does not consider them “credible”. On the list of potential attacks was a concert in Milan, Italy where Five Finger Death Punch, Papa Roach, and The Devil You Know were scheduled to perform. Five Finger Death Punch issued an announcement that the show was being canceled, as they cannot ensure the safety of their fans.
Anonymous was founded in 2003. Members of this group are known as “Anons” who wear a mask similar to the one tattooed on this man’s chest
We are now faced with the tragic reality that rock-and-roll concerts, along with other peaceful events across the globe, have become a prime target for terrorist attacks.
The Foo Fighters canceled the remainder of their European tour due to what happened in Paris, making this statement on Twitter:
“With profound sadness & heartfelt concern, we are forced to announce the cancellation of the rest of our tour.”
David Grohl / Foo Fighters
Members of Deftones were at the Bataclan the night of The Eagles of Death Metal show. They left just minutes before the attack. The band canceled their European tour because of the events that took place.

Lamb of God made the tough decision to cancel the rest of their European tour as a result of what happened in Paris. Frontman Randy Blythe wrote a blog that provided further explanation of the band’s decision. In it, he said:
“I’m not going to play around with my life or the lives of others if I feel there is a dangerous situation I could potentially stop from occurring by simply saying, ‘The show is over’.”
Papa Roach made the following statement on their website on November 21:
“We have had many reports all day that our show in Milan tomorrow, Sunday 22 November, will be targeted in a next wave of terror attacks. It is with a heavy heart that we are forced to cancel this show to a later date. The safety of our fans, crew, and bands are important to us. We will announce more information as soon as we are able to.”
Papa Roach frontman Jacoby Shaddix points to one his fans with a “Blood Brothers” tattoo (a song from the album “Infest”)
Five Finger Death Punch made the following statement in regards to canceling their show in Milan, Italy: “We did not receive confirmation in time to satisfy the requirements and to ensure that our fans would be safe at the event.”

Wondering what you can do to show your support to your favorite bands during this difficult time?Purchase their music! Believe it or not, some of us had to do this in the good ‘ol days. Buy their merchandise and wear it. And for all you die-hard fans, get a tattoo like this to show your undying support.

Without fans, bands would have no reason to perform. They need your support! Don’t hesitate to show them some love.

Published on February 15th, 2013 | by Trey Cox0
Admissibility of Demonstrative Exhibits
Demonstrative evidence is cool and persuasive, but how do we take that next step and place it in the jury room for deliberations – the real final argument? It is really not that hard. With a few basic predicates and some supporting substantive evidence, demonstrative aids are generally no problem to admit in evidence.
Demonstrative evidence is generally admissible if it is shown to be relevant, if it will assist a witness in explaining his or her testimony, and if its probative value outweighs its prejudicial effect. As a result, the primary foundational elements for the use of demonstrative proof should be that it (1) relates to a piece of admissible substantive proof, (2) fairly and accurately reflects the substantive proof and (3) aids the trier-of-fact in understanding or evaluating the substantive evidence. In other words, the demonstrative aid must be relevant and the witness must testify that it will help him with his explanation to the jury.
Whether a particular exhibit is to be used as an aid or admitted into evidence may well depend on the difficulty of laying the predicate for admissibility and the trial judge’s attitude regarding admissibility of demonstrative evidence. The trial judge is given broad discretion in determining whether to admit or reject evidence, and the judge’s ruling will be overturned only when there is a clear abuse of discretion. If you want to admit a medical illustration of the heart in a medical malpractice case, the exchange with your expert would go as follows:
Q1: Dr. Jones, you intend to testify regarding the condition and function of a healthy heart in order to explain the actual complications Mr. Patient suffered from prior to the operation?
Q2: And for the benefit of the jury, you intend to use this diagram of the heart, which we have marked as Exhibit 13 for identification?
Q3: Does Exhibit 13 fairly and accurately reflect the condition and function of a healthy heart?
Q4: Your honor, Defendant moves to admit Exhibit 13.
Now, your show-and-tell can begin. Everyone can see and hear at the same time. I know, I know, you are thinking “objection, leading. You can’t do that on direct with my own witness.” Not true. Rule 104 permits you to suspend the Rules of Evidence when you present issues regarding the admissibility of evidence1. So what you have done is lead the witness in a perfectly acceptable way through the predicate to admit a demonstrative exhibit.
As the proponent of demonstrative evidence, you may also need to respond to a Rule 403 objection. The balancing approach of Rule 403 states that evidence, even though otherwise admissible, “may be excluded if its probative value is substantially outweighed by the risk of: (a) undue prejudice, confusion of issues, or misleading the jury; or (b) undue delay, waste of time, or needless presentation of cumulative evidence.”2 This “catchall” objection is used frequently as a last resort by those attempting to exclude demonstrative evidence. Generally, courts welcome and appreciate demonstrative aids, but be prepared to have a sponsoring witness testify that the demonstrative aids fairly and accurately represent some substantive evidence (see Q3 in the example above), and that the demonstrative evidence will help explain his or her testimony to the jury (see Q2 in the example above).

Today is Blog Action Day, when bloggers around the world write about an important global topic. This year, the focus is on water.
According to the World Health Organization, each year 3.4 million people – most of them children – die from water-related diseases. That includes 1.4 million children dying from diarrhea annually, and 860,000 children perishing directly or indirectly from malnutrition arising from repeated diarrhea or intestinal nematodes. Many malnourished children do survive, but can suffer lifelong impairment. Other water-related diseases, like trachoma and schistosomiasis, cause disfigurement and disabilities that harm people’s economic participation and quality of life.
Because water-related diseases cause such a great reduction in quality of life and productivity, they’re a focus on the UN Millennium Development Goals. Under Goal Seven, “Ensure Environmental Sustainability,” one of the targets is “Halve, by 2015, the proportion of the population without sustainable access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation.” The world has achieved substantial progress toward this goal, but it’s been uneven.
When considering whether drinking water is safe, the WHO defines it this way:
Access to safe drinking water is the proportion of people using improved drinking water sources: household connection; public standpipe; borehole; protected dug well; protected spring; rainwater.
Earlier this year, the WHO/UNICEF Joint Monitoring Programme for Water Supply and Sanitation (JMP) reported that in 1990, 77% of the world’s population got drinking water from an improved source, and in 2008 that figure had risen to 87%. That progress puts us well within reach of the MDG target for water — 88.5% by 2015, by my calculation — but it still leaves a large swath of the global population without access to safe drinking water. According to the JMP, 884 million people still get their water from unimproved sources (which include rivers and ponds, unprotected wells, and water sold in bottles or from tanker trucks). More than one-third of those still lacking access to improved water sources live in Sub-Saharan Africa.
As I wrote last month’s post about the Millennium Development Goals, improving gender equality can have a strong multiplier effective and enhance several other MDGs. (Sharon Astyk of Casaubon’s Book posted a response to the post that’s well worth reading.) In the case of water, inadequate water supplies can also hamper efforts to achieve gender parity in education. In areas where people have to walk long distances to collect water, it’s usually women and girls who make the daily treks – and when girls are spending hours hauling water, that’s time they can’t spend in school.
So, while water quality is one of the important considerations, it’s not the only one. The MDG also addresses people’s access to water, and WHO puts numbers on that:
Access to drinking water means that the source is less than 1 kilometer away from its place of use and that it is possible to reliably obtain at least 20 litres per member of a household per day.
A kilometer is equal to slightly more than half a mile, and 20 litres is about 5.3 gallons. To put that into context, EPA reports that the average US family of four can use 400 gallons of water each day.
Sanitation improvements must go hand-in-hand with water improvements, because human waste can contaminate water if not handled properly. (See this post on sanitation for details.)
An “improved” sanitation facility is defined as “adequate excreta disposal facilities (private or shared, but not public) that can effectively prevent human, animal, and insect contact with excreta.” Toilets connected to public sewer systems or septic systems qualify, as do many latrines. Latrines that use an open pit or require manual removal of excreta don’t qualify, nor do public latrines, because they are rarely maintained adequately and may not be accessible at all times.
In 1990, only 54% of the world’s population used improved sanitation facilities; the MDG target aims to bring that number up to 77% by 2015. In 2008, however, that number had only reached 61%. The increase represents 1.3 billion people who gained access to improved sanitation facilities between 1990 and 2008, but the JMP estimates that we’ll still end up missing the target by one billion people.
Ensuring sustainable access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation for the world’s population will be especially challenging because water quality worldwide is declining and climate change is disrupting rainfall and glacial melting patterns.
Those of us fortunate enough to have more-than-adequate access to water and sanitation facilities should remember not to take these for granted, and think about how we can reduce our use of the world’s finite freshwater supply. National Geographic has a nice list of water conservation tips, and you can find links to many more resources and water-related blog posts at the Blog Action Day website.

Humidification is essential to creating a comfortable home. Proper humidity control is important for reducing the growth of bacteria, molds, viruses and dust mites. More airborne moisture means less opportunity for dust and other irritants to circulate, so you will experience improved air quality. Less static electricity creates a more comfortable environment for everyone in your household. Properly humidified air can also help reduce nasal dryness, allowing your family to breathe easier.
Contact us to learn more about our HVAC Hygiene services systems. We look forward to providing you with the kind of timely, personal assistance you deserve.

Payout Schedules in Online Slots Machines
An online slot machine payout schedule lists of all possible returns and there probability. A slot machine that pays at the same rate for each coin bet is called a straight machine. What this means is that if the maximum payout for a single coin bet is eight hundred coins, a two coin bet will pay 1,600 coins and a three coin bet will pay 2,400 coins. In the sample payout schedule, if the coin size were twenty five cents, a three coin bet would pay $600 and a $1 coin size would pay $2,400 for a three coin bet. This example is from a balanced payout schedule. More often you will see payout schedules that pay higher amounts when the maximum coins are played.
An unbalanced payout schedule may pay a maximum of 200 coins for a single coin, 400 for a two coin bet and 1,000 coins for a three coin bet. Slot machine payout schedules vary from machine to machine. It is always important to know and understand a slot machines payouts because they are not always consistently proportional. The greatest variations occur on progressive slots. These slots are set up to pay at a lower rate on smaller hits, while the jackpot is a true jackpot. The jackpot is a pool that grows each time someone takes a chance on one of the designated machines.
Slots are set up to encourage players to play more coins. It is clear to see the more coins one bets, the better the odds and the payouts are. Most machines allow you to select the value of the coin that you will play with. When the payout schedule pays at a higher rate for more coins, you are better off playing smaller denominations and maximum coins. This concept seems simple, but many jackpots have been lost by careless play. slot
If a slot machine has been paying off regularly it is said to be loose. A slot machine that has not hit in a while is thought to be due. These are myths and need to be understood as such. Remember that past performance in no way effects future games. Slot machines are completely random. They use a random number generator to select winners. Each pull of a slot machine, or game, is completely separate than the previous game. Luck is a larger factor in slots than in table games. The key to slot machines is that they are set up with different payback percentages and hit frequencies. Table game odds do not change much from casino to casino because the rules of these games are consistent. Since there is very little skill involved in playing slots, you need to take advantage of every opportunity that you can.

Fáilte Ireland is fighting back as Brexit uncertainty and a struggling sterling hammer the country’s tourism sector. It has launched ‘Get Brexit Ready’, a range of industry supports to help businesses at risk or already struggling.
The programme allows individual businesses to self-assess their exposures and risks and provides a range of interventions. The programme will be supported by a dedicated ‘Get Brexit Ready’ website to help individual businesses. The web portal will also include ‘Brexit-check’ – an online tool whereby an individual business can input their own data to determine how Brexit ready they are.
Speaking of the importance of tourism, Fáilte Ireland CEO Paul Kelly said: “This year we’re going to generate over €8bn in economic revenue to the economy, it’s going to support over a quarter of a million jobs and generate about €2bn in exchequer revenue.”
He said that while “one of the most important markets is Britain, there’s an awful lot of unknowns” due to its impending withdrawal from the European Union. Paul Kelly added: “Today is about what we in Fáilte Ireland can do with what we know now to prepare industry for the challenges. Overall our visitor numbers from Britain are down 6pc year to date and holidaymakers down 9pc.”
He estimated €88m in lost revenue, and 1,900 fewer jobs, either through loss or not being created by the downturn. The Irish Tourism Industry Confederation put the figure even higher recently – €100m – while Joe Dolan, President of the Irish Hotels Federation, told the Fáilte Ireland event that he believes even €100m is too conservative.
Mr Kelly warned of early signs that value for money has been slipping among European markets, including Germany, making Britain a more tempting destination. He said that it’s a double whammy as the dollar to sterling exchange rate means holidays in Britain are now around 20pc cheaper than three years ago for US tourists. “This means that Britain is a very cost-efficient competitior for us,” he warned.
Another issue is the slow pace of hotel builds in in-demand Dublin but he said Fáilte Ireland is looking to push other regions where the infrastructure and bed nights are there to cater for international tourists.
Fáilte Ireland’s Paul Keeley told the audience, which included hoteliers and other tourism groups, that: “About half of our overseas visits comes from the North and Britain. We know from our feedback we are under pressure with our competitiveness and compounded by issues like capacity. But it’s too big a market to throw in the towel.”
And he said the EU issue has been a wake-up call: “What Brexit has served to do is underscore something we already knew – Ireland Inc is overexposed to the British marketplace, and we need to accelerate our efforts to diversify our markets.”
He added that while Brexit is “very much a fog – the one thing that has become clear is the fog has lifted over the individual firm. We know that we’re losing business and we’re losing business right around the country and in every sector. We know that the currency fluctuation has made us less competitive and we know from chatting to businesses that they’re struggling with British visitors, and also with Northern visitors, and they’re struggling to hang onto contracts with pricing.
“We equally know the saving grace this year has been a very strong US performance but again currency has gone the wrong way of late so I don’t think we can continue to expect the kind of levels we’ve been enjoying out of the US into the future.”
Minister of State for Tourism and Sport Brendan Griffin told the audience: “Tourism businesses will need to diversify and reposition if they are to adapt to the evolving trading climate and I am confident that this suite of Fáilte Ireland initiatives will help them do that.”
The ‘Get Brexit Ready’ initiative will:
- Work with 1,000 businesses in an inital €1m package at first to assess their exposure to market uncertainty and their current competitiveness;
- Assist businesses to target best prospects in Britain and identify new opportunities there;
- Work with businesses which are over-exposed to the British market to diversify their trade to Europe, North America and growing markets like China;
- Provide the training and skills supports for tourism professionals to succeed in a Brexit environment.

Ho Ho Ho:
Here’s a holiday gift ~ my delayed notes, observations or takeaways from the mostly UPBEAT Senior Leadership Conference held in New Orleans this past October. [Kudos to America’s Newspapers for a job well done!]
Bits and pieces of this will fall in the “duh” category, while others will warrant a tweak or two before they apply if they ever do?
- Focus (audit) on the advertisers who are in other printed media (direct mail, alts, luxury?) in your community. Go get ‘em! This process should be perpetual.
- It’s more than you think – Local businesses also advertise to BUILD awareness and community, not just retain, and grow! Do you sell those?
- Had not heard this before – one Publisher is levying “production” and “delivery” charges for subscribers who have a paper delivered. Another is charging a tiny fee to mail invoices, just like your local bank!
- This was an “aha” for me – after years of consolidation and declining revenue, some press associations are seeing growth thanks to the modest trend towards local ownership. Gotta like that!
In several sessions (plus, multiple subsequent conversations) many expressed anguish at how much time sales executives are spending “in the office” and how frequently they only present a single solution. IF that applies to your world DO NOT let it continue!
This is NOT a sales rep issue, but a leadership opportunity. Great leaders guide organizations in directions they didn’t know were needed, so LEAD DAMNIT. I can guarantee this - there’s not a single FTE in your company who wants to be “managed”!
One, some, all (?) of the following might apply:
- Recapture the digital advantage! Package your traditional offerings (print, radio, tv, whatever) with all things digital. Become THE trusted digital marketing agency who, coincidentally, also offers traditional solutions! Promote this aggressively and always!
- Unabashedly sell/promote/talk about your unique value proposition and unique community role. Said differently, DIFFERENTIATE OR DIE!
- [If you don’t know what or how you differ from all others, hit reply and I’ll schedule an intervention!]
The “time” issue has existed for decades yet is exponentially more damaging today. Given this reality, the following are MUSTS...
- No “one-offs” PERIOD. You decide “how” to lead – with an iron fist or kid gloves; however, when a sales rep turns in that 10” ad for the Holiday Gift Guide, Reject It! At least until that ad is an element of a larger, more comprehensive, advertiser-helping package! Send them back to the customer like that old-style used car lot manager!
- Of course, the corollary is that everyone should/must/has to present LONGER campaigns and solutions. Create a half dozen (ish) compelling offerings everyone is comfortable selling that combines legacy offerings, digital and, of course, multiple relevant special initiatives. Six months or more in length!
[There are tried and true ways to accomplish this! The easiest is to quantify How Many shoppers will buy relevant goods and services during that time frame. Again, hit “reply” if you need help!]
- THANK CUSTOMERS RELENTLESSLY! “Thank you” for 20- years of loyalty – here’s free color on your NEXT campaign; “Thank you” for exceeding your commitment – let me buy you a drink or discount your table at the BEST OF celebration; or “Thank You” for being YOU – is there anything you’ve always wanted to try, but been reluctant to ask about? I say now is the time!
Now, let me Thank You for reading Beyond the Horizon! It’s been fun to share my thoughts with many of the best and brightest in the media world. I appreciate you keeping me honest, pointing out my endless errors and typos and regularly questioning my sanity. The jury continues to deliberate that final point, but NOT my sincere hope you have a glorious year-end and a delightful holiday.
All my best,

Intense devotion to ones guru and faithful adherence to his teachings are the most essential qualifications of true discipleship. It is this shraddha, faith, and gurubhakti, devotion to guru, that bring about rapid spiritual progress and fruition of ones sadhana. A disciple without devotion to his guru is like a flower without fragrance, a well without water, a cow without milk or a body without life. A true aspirant rejoices in the practice of guru bhakti yoga. Without taking recourse to this yoga one cannot practise the other yogas. Whatever may be acquired by asceticism, renunciation, charity, auspicious acts or by other yogas, all these are speedily acquired by practising guru bhakti yoga. It is the magic wand in the hands of the disciple to cross the ocean of samsara.
Guru bhakti will make possible all that is impossible; the unattainable can be attained by guru bhakti. However, this treasure is not acquired in a day. Guru bhakti is not a system that can be taught by lectures or correspondence courses. The disciple has to cultivate it gradually and painstakingly. He must increase it day by day. It develops through constant and earnest prayer in the secret chamber of the heart. The student should live under a preceptor for many years and lead a rigorous life of austerity, discipline, celibacy and deep meditation. He must make himself perfectly blind to the human aspects of the guru. Then he will develop true guru bhakti.
Just as there are nine forms of bhakti, there are also nine aspects of guru bhakti yoga:
Deification of the guru is a mysterious and powerful method of obtaining his grace. When you deify him, you see only the storehouse of perfection in him. Even if you cannot understand his actions, do not misunderstand them. Be humble and silent. Wait patiently. Eventually you will be rewarded with light.
Shraddha or faith is that power which sustains the aspirant on the path towards perfection. It supports him during tests and trials, temptations and pitfalls and in overcoming seemingly insurmountable obstacles. Therefore, always keep alive your shraddha and bhakti in your gurudeva. Let your faith be unsullied and staunch. Your efforts to attain the true goal of life will be crowned with success.
The aspirant, before he desires the grace of the master, should deserve it. The supply of divine grace comes only when he is fit to receive it. Gurus grace descends upon those who feel utterly humble and faithful to him. Faith is confidence and trust in guru. Faith is firm conviction of the truth of what is declared by the preceptor by way either of testimony or authority, without any other evidence or proof. The disciple who has faith in the guru argues not, thinks not, reasons not and cogitates not. He simply obeys, obeys and obeys.
Once Sri Shankaracharya wanted to test the devotion of his disciple Padmapada. The river Kaveri was in flood. Sri Shankara was standing on one bank of the river and Padmapada was standing on the other bank. Sri Shankara beckoned Padmapada to come to him immediately. There was no boat. Padmapada did not care, he at once jumped into the river even though he did not know how to swim. This is real devotion. Through the grace of Shankaracharya, Padmapada walked quite easily on the river. At each step a lotus flower appeared. This is how he got the name Padmapada, which means lotus in the feet.
Devotion to guru trains your heart and prepares for devotion to God. Guru bhakti draws down the grace of the preceptor and ultimately bestows illumination and bliss.
Die at the lotus feet of guru, give up your ego and die, only so you may live again the true divine life. Life is no life if not enlivened and made divine by the transforming grace of guru.
If you want to drink the spiritual nectar of immortality which flows from the holy lips of the guru, you will have to be an embodiment of humility and meekness. The lower nature of mind must be thoroughly transformed. The aspirant says to his preceptor: I want to practise yoga. I want to enter into nirvikalpa samadhi. I want to sit at your feet. I have surrendered myself to you. But he does not want to change his lower nature and habits, old character, behaviour and conduct.
Let the disciples first lesson be obedience to guru. The disciple has to serve the guru and do everything the guru commands without grudging and without using his intellect. When the guru gives an order, the disciple should obey implicitly. Such obedience to guru is necessary. This is the spirit of nishkama karma, karma done not for the pleasure of the person doing it but because it is the holy command of the preceptor. Then only the impurities of the mind such as kama, passion, krodha, anger and lobha, greed, are destroyed.
Ones individual ego, preconceived notions, pet ideas and prejudices and selfish interests should be given up. All these stand in the way of carrying out the teachings and instructions of ones guru. If you want to be a true disciple, you should follow the instructions of your guru to the very letter and spirit. If you make a promise to your guru, you should fulfil it even at the cost of your life.
If you fail to ask the wise what you know not, you will remain a dunce throughout your life. Sit at the lotus feet of your guru with bhava and faith. Serve him with sincerity, humility and love. Prostrate before him morning and evening. Clear your doubts. Hear the shrutis from him. Reflect. Meditate. Behold the supreme, transcendental light of lights. Drink deep the wisdom-nectar and attain immortality.
The best way you can express your real adoration to the preceptor is to actually emulate his noble example. Have him as your ideal. Struggle to build yourself upon that model. This will be the most effective puja of your guru and the most pleasing guru dakshina.
Once a saint, in order to test his disciple, ordered him to shampoo his waist by his feet. The saint said, My waist is paining. Will you, my dear disciple, shampoo it with your feet? The disciple said, Maharaj! How am I to put my feet on your holy person? That is a great sin. The saint replied, But are you not, in thus disobeying me, putting your feet on my tongue?
One should learn a lesson from this example. The disciple should not exercise his intellect in carrying out the orders of his guru. He should discard impertinence and develop true and lasting devotion. One should serve a saint in every way, serve him physically, meditate on him, carry out his orders without delay, try to serve his mission, and so forth. One should have unflinching faith. Mysterious are the ways of a saint. The services that he takes from you are for your own benefit. He himself wants nothing. By giving various orders and testing you in various ways, he makes you a fit vessel for the reception of enlightenment.

This month we are featuring one of my favorite Trombonists, Steve Turre. This is his solo on the awesome Rhythm Changes composition, Chairman of the Board. Steve really has his rhythm changes playing together and the vocabulary sheet is where it’s at this month. There aren’t very many lines that I pulled out of the solo but the ones that I did are pure gold if you’re looking to get your rhythm changes playing together. Remember, along with the blues and Cherokee, rhythm changes are something that EVERY SINGLE jazz player must know how to do. Take your time and be consistent and you’ll be crushing rhythm changes before you know it. I have transcribed the solo in it’s original bass clef form, but I have also included a treble clef version for those who have trouble with bass clef.
Enjoy the solo and don’t hesitate to ask any questions!

When Elon Musk, founder and CEO of SpaceX unveiled his plan to colonize Mars before 2024 (or 2031), the scale and importance of the project became clear to the world. However, there were sets of technical problems associated with the colonization; such as: growing crops on Mars’ soil, recycling water and human waste, creating ideal environment for humans to live in, and so on...
Our team decided to design a Framework for a base on Mars, that could be used to create a temporal (or even long-lasting) settlements.
We have created an elementary component called Clepsydron – a spherical engineering mechanism that can collapse from its opened state to a folded state.
Since colonization of Mars has rocket restrictions, such as volume and mass of transported cargo, it was important for our Framework of a base to have the following properties:
(a) The transformable elementary components must exist;
(b) The Framework must fit our varying design and measurements;
(c) The Framework must transform into a smaller, folded mechanism;
(d) The Framework must have minimal surface area and maximal volume.
Final project is made up of two components: airproof membrane, which will be wrapped up from inside to ensure the rigidity of the construction and seal atmospheric environment created inside, and the framework. Framework can be split up in several chains (usually 3 or 4) for easier manufacturing process, which, in of itself, can be split up to individual Clepsydra cells. All Clepsydron having an ability to transform, entire construction can be folded into a rocket, and sent for a deployment.
SpaceApps is a NASA incubator innovation program.

Ok, where do I start? This was quite a week. And no, I’m not talking about the stock market. I’m talking about a great school choice week! We’ve been busy!
We received a $10,000 contribution from Old National Bank in support of our college success efforts, reached agreement on buying a new 20-acre, two-school building property in Indianapolis, our GEO Prep Mid City Baton Rouge school was honored by an unannounced visit by Louisiana’s State Superintendent Dr. Cade Brumley, and the Indianapolis Business Journal featured a columnI wrote to help improve college completion rates.
I’ll report on the new school property later, but that is really exciting! For now, I want to share what Dr. Brumley (pictured above right with Principal Christina Kelly) said in his tweet after visiting our Baton Rouge school.
“Thanks Principal Kelly for welcoming this unannounced vistor. It was great seeing students benefitting from face-to-face teaching and learning. The implementation of instructional best practices, driven by leadership and supported by master teachers, was nice to observe.”
How much better does it get? That sums up what we are all about….and in a tweet!
Yes, I’m jazzed because our staff brings their “A” game every day. We are ready for any visitor. We don’t put on a show for adults. We bring our “A” game for the students. Nice to see Louisiana’s top education official appreciate it.
We are forever grateful to our friends at Old National Bank for the contribution to support our college success program. The picture above left is Jason King, three of our students and Brian Henning of Old National. Our students wowed us all with their report on college courses they’ve taken this year and their future plans. Two of the students above are only freshmen, the other is a sophomore. They are terrific!!!

The 2-4-1 Active City Hartford camp is a comprehensive Physical Literacy Development Program for students entering Grades 3-8. We blend the traditional 2-4-1 Sports camp model of sport sampling with TOP Self™ social emotional learning and character skill development.
We follow the definition put forth by the National Association of Physical Literacy (NAPL USA) which is “The Ability, Balance, Confidence, Desire and Explorative Nature to be Active for Life.
2-4-1 Sports puts play back into sports! At 2-4-1 Active City Hartford, children have the opportunity to sample multiple sports and learn for themselves how playing one sport increases their ability and confidence in another. While many specialty camps are filled with laps, lines and lectures – at
2-4-1 we focus on getting kids moving and playing all day. All attendees play at least 3 sports each day and we encourage all campers to try at least one sport they’ve never tried before. “Life’s 2 Short 4 Just 1 Sport” is more than a tagline for us — it’s a cultural shift that drives our programs to help families recognize that a lifelong love of activity starts with a diverse, play-filled childhood.
At this camp, no special equipment is required as it will be provided by our staff. Kids just need to come ready to play each day!
Our Active City Hartford program is free for Hartford kids going into grades 3-8.
Funding is made possible through the generous support of Hartford Foundation for Public Giving, Active City and 2-4-1.
Please consider making a donation so we can expand our work to serve even more kids in our community.
A typical day at 2-4-1 Active City Hartford, campers will rotate through a variety of different sports each day!
No need to worry about bringing any specific sports equipment. We just ask that kids wear shorts, t-shirts, and sneakers. And bring a distinct and clearly marked water bottle if possible.

Arthritis is the loss of cushion on a joint surface-period. The cushion called articular cartilage is an amazing multi faceted structure that allows us to walk, run, jump, and lift without pain.
Deep to the cushion is bone. If bone is exposed then this causes pain as there are nerve endings in the bone. When bone rubs against bone the joint becomes painful, swollen and stiff. There is no cure for arthritis and treatment is directed towards pain relief.
Diffuse arthritis is not to be confused with a localized chondral defect or a pothole surrounded by healthy tissue. That can be treated with drill holes to stimulate bone marrow healing, placing cartilage plugs or cartilage transplantation.
The treatment plan for arthritis is tailored to the patient. That means treatment is based on the patient’s age, how long they have had symptoms and what other treatments they have tried or had. For an initial diagnosis of arthritis the treatment usually starts with therapy exercises working on range of motion and strengthening. After exercises, medications can be tried like Tylenol®, Advil® or Aleve®. Supplements can also be tried as well as creams and gels. If the pain persists and activity levels are decreasing and x-rays show definite joint narrowing with arthritis, then injections can be entertained.
These are broken up into three different categories:
- Gel (or viscosupplementation)
- PRP (platelet rich plasma)
Cortisone is a tricky substance because it can help pain but if given too many times it can increase arthritis. So used sparingly is reasonable especially if there is already terrible arthritis in the joint. Gel injections are designed to lubricate the joint and decrease the friction between the bones. PRP has been shown to have some anti-inflammatory properties and can be used to treat arthritis, although studies show it works better on tendonitis.
If none of these work then replacement can be considered. Taking knee replacement as an example, recovery is based on range of motion and getting strength back. Typically it takes six weeks to three months to get good strength back.
For the CrossFit athlete with knee arthritis, rehab should be faster because of the increased muscle strength going into surgery. Exercises that can be performed early on in recovery like in two to three weeks would be air dyne, biking or rowing. These should be cautious and gentle with no stress focusing on range of motion and not stressing the tendon repair part of the surgery. Squatting with no weights is reasonable to work on strengthening and range also. Increased resistance and weights will be introduced when tendons are stronger. Now comes the question about running, jumping, and weightlifting.
One of the variables for how long a knee will last is how long the cushion or the polyethylene between the pieces of metal last. If one stresses the knee too greatly, then wear of the knee theoretically would be a factor. The material used is much better than what was used when replacements were invented. However, if these particles break down from wear then the body attacks them and releases cells to digest them called macrophages. These cells in doing so release enzymes which can then cause erosion of the bone. So in fact the bone to metal replacement interface can then loosen. It is for this reason that people should probably not get back to long distance running or jumping from heights. However a study in 2010 looked at high impact activities after knee replacements and found no difference in symptoms or revision for high impact sports versus low impact sports in patients who had knee replacements. Of those who needed a revision were two weightlifters.
The main reason to have a knee replacement is severe pain from arthritis that has not gone away with conservative measures. Studies also have shown that people who have mild arthritis do not fare as well as people who have more involved arthritis. The recovery can be substantial and any surgeon wants to make sure that the arthritis is bad enough and that the x-ray findings correlate with the level of pain. The pain should be everyday and limit functioning like stairs, standing, and walking. Knee replacements should not be performed for mild pain or nuisance pain relieved by other measures.
Knee replacement is a great surgery that allows people who have lost independence and function to regain their lifestyle. One survey asked people to rate their LIVES not their knees when they had severe arthritis on a scale of 0 to 100. The average response came back with a 30. After knee replacements, that number jumped to 90! So it can make a significant difference and allow people to enjoy life and exercise again.

Travel back to pre-revolutionary Russia as Main Street Theater in Rice Village presents Maxim Gorky’s Enemies from Sunday, September 10 through Sunday, October 15, 2017.
To kick off its 2017-18 MainStage season, Main Street Theater is presenting David Hare’s adaptation of Gorky’s extraordinary play.
Written in exile and banned in his home country, Enemies presents a panoramic view of a restless society on the brink of revolution.
It’s 1905, and Russia is at a critical moment in its history. The bourgeoisie is no longer confident in its own values. The working class is slowly realizing the terrifying sacrifices they will have to make.
Gorky approached this unique, imaginative play, with great humanity and a broad dramatic scope, offering a glimpse into what the world might have been like in the time between aristocratic rule and the revolution in Russia.
Directed by Rebecca Greene Udden, the show is a collaboration with the University of Houston School of Theatre and Dance.
About Maxim Gorky
Maxim Gorky, whose real name was Aleksei Maximovich Peshkov, was born on March 16, 1868, in the Volga River city of Nizhny Novgorod (it was renamed Gorky in his honor in 1932).
Already established as a major novelist and short story writer, at the turn of the century Gorky began writing plays and formed close connections with the Moscow Art Theater, which, in 1902, produced his most famous play, The Lower Depths.
For a significant part of his life, Gorky was exiled from Russia and later, the Soviet Union. In 1932, he returned to Russia on Joseph Stalin’s personal invitation and died there in June 1936.

Plone's Ansible Playbook can completely provision a remote server to run a full-stack, production-ready Plone server, including:
- Plone in a cluster configuration;
- Automatic starting and process control of the Plone cluster with supervisor;
- Load balancing of the cluster with HAProxy;
- Caching with Varnish;
- Nginx as a world-facing reverse proxy and URL rewrite engine;
- An outgoing-mail-only mail server using Postfix;
- Monitoring and log analysis with munin-node, logwatch and fail2ban.
- Use of a local VirtualBox provisioned via Vagrant to test and model your remote server.
An Ansible playbook and roles describe the desired condition of the server. The playbook is used both for initial provisioning and for updating.
- Install a current version of Ansible;
- If you wish to test locally, install Vagrant and VirtualBox;
- Check out or download a copy of this package;
ansible-galaxy -p roles -r requirements.txt installto install required roles;
Copy one of the
local-configure.ymland edit as needed.
To test in a local virtual machine, run
To deploy, create an Ansible inventory file for the
remote host (look at vbox_host.cfg for an example) and
ansible-playbook --ask-sudo-pass -i myhost.cfg playbook.yml;
- Set a real password for your Plone instance on the target server;
- Set up appropriate firewalls.
The goal of an automated-server provisioning system like Ansible is a completely reproducible server configuration. If you wish to achieve this goal, discipline yourself to never changing configuration on your target machines via login.
That doesn't mean you never log in to your provisioned server. It just means that when you do, you resist changing configuration options directly. Instead, change your playbook, test your changes against a test server, then use your playbook to update the target server.
We chose Ansible for our provisioning tool because:
- It requires no client component on the remote machine. Everything is done via ssh.
- It's YAML configuration files use structure and syntax that will be familiar to Python programmers. YAML basically represents a Python data structure in an outline. Conditional and loop expressions are in Python. Templating via Jinja2 is simple and clean.
- Ansible's documentation is excellent and complete.
- Ansible is easily extended by roles. Many basic roles are available on Ansible Galaxy.
If you need to log in¶
You should not need to. But if you do, you should know:
- The Plone zeoserver and zeoclient processes should be run under the plone_daemon login; they will normally be controlled via supervisor;
- Run buildout as plone_buildout.

- Zach Scheidt: Vibing on gold
- A gold mine opportunity…
- … without the gold mine?
- I’m not panicking, YOU’RE panicking!
- General Motors threatens Musk
- From “slackers” to “sandwich”
- Readers trade hand sanitizer recipes.
Does your heart skip a beat when you hear the word gold? If not, here’s why it should…
According to our income specialist and former hedge fund manager Zach Scheidt: “Plenty of investors love the yellow metal — insisting that it’s the only real form of money… and that it should be the foundation of a well-rounded portfolio.”
[We’ve said it before at The 5, and it bears repeating: Macroeconomics expert Jim Rickards — whom Dave featured Monday — recommends 10% of your portfolio be allocated to precious metals.]
“I also wouldn’t be surprised if you saw the word ‘gold’ and started shaking your head in disbelief,” says Zach. “You could be one of those investors who doesn’t believe there’s anything special about gold.”
For Zach’s money, he loves income-generating dividend stocks. Gold doesn’t offer a dividend, nor does the yellow metal earn interest. And ultimately, gold’s at the mercy of supply and demand. “Not to mention market manipulations,” says Zach, “that govern every asset in existence.
“So I wouldn’t blame you for being skeptical about any claim [about] gold,” Zach says. “But the fact is gold is looking better than it has in a long time.”
Apropos of supply and demand: “Demand for gold has been outpacing new supply for several years now…
While gold has some industrial applications (not like palladium or even platinum… but that’s a story for another day), jewelers are first in line for the precious metal, but next in line are investors — especially central banks.
“In fact, central banks bought a record amount of gold in 2018,” Zach says. “Then they broke that record again in 2019… And according to the World Gold Council, central banks bought more gold than they’ve sold for 10 straight years!”
Because miners can’t keep up with demand, jewelers and investors alike rely on “recycled” gold… but that’s a moot point if the majority of gold bullion is stockpiled in central bank vaults.
Zach says: “That fact alone should cause gold prices to creep higher. Even then, however, investors, central banks and institutions may still be reluctant to sell their hoards.”
Regardless, the demand for gold’s spiking — here’s why…
“Whenever bad news threatens the world,” says Zach, “gold prices tend to soar. In fact, gold’s most recent spike started thanks to coronavirus fears finally hitting Wall Street in late February…”
“That’s because people have more faith in the yellow metal than anything else.” Well, many people, that is…
And more people would have faith in gold — particularly during a global crisis — if they really understood the difference between hard currency and fiat currency.
“Fiat currency just means there’s nothing backing its value,” says Zach. “For instance, the only reason a $20 bill is worth something is because the U.S. government says it is.” (Ahem… Thanks, Richard Nixon, for unpegging the U.S. dollar from gold.)
Then there’s hard currency that’s actually tied to gold: “A government with a hard currency can only print so many bills,” Zach says. “The total value of its currency is limited by how much gold the government owns.”
But when it comes to fiat currency? Governments are free to print away!
“Funny money, then, is subject to inflation and deflation. Zach says: “Owning gold is a way to hedge against that risk.
“That’s why central banks hold so much of the stuff,” he continues. “Today’s record-low interest rates are playing a role, too.”
While central banks have historically relied on the stability of government bonds, many governments are issuing bonds with negative interest rates. (We see you, eurozone! And the U.S. might be joining you soon.)
“Meaning buyers will get back less than they paid for their bonds,” Zach says. “So even though gold doesn’t pay interest, it’s preferable to losing money!
“Better to hold onto the gold, then, no matter what happens to the price,” he says. “Of course, that just increases the gap between available supply and demand — which will inevitably cause gold prices to surge.”
Here’s how Zach says to best take advantage of the inevitable surge…
“Higher precious metals prices should be great for companies that mine gold… but that’s not actually guaranteed.
“Mining is a risky, expensive business, and companies can fail for reasons that have nothing to do with what price gold is selling for,” Zach says.
Miners have an uphill battle considering the uncertainty of finding gold deposits, prepping the land, pulling permits… the list goes on and on. In fact, “most miners spend close to $1,000 for every ounce of gold they get out of the ground.”
To Zach’s way of thinking: “A better way to invest in surging metals prices is to buy a mining company that doesn’t own any mines” (emphasis added).
Zach’s talking about gold royalty companies that don’t “have to worry about exploration risks, equipment upkeep or environmental issues that come with operating a mine,” says Zach.
Here’s how royalty companies work: They “might give a small mining company $1 million to break ground on a new mine.” In return, they contract for a portion of the miners’ gold at a discounted rate.
“Then [they] sell that gold… for the going market price,” Zach says. “That means tremendous profit margin — one that most gold producers can only dream of.”
Zach’s takeaway? Gold royalty companies are “the smartest gold play you can make right now,” he concludes. “Wide profit margins mean your investment should hold its value…
“If precious metals prices do surge… look out,” he says. Gold royalty companies’ “share prices will take off like a rocket.”
[Ed. note: Zach doesn’t just specialize in income investments — he’s also got his ear to the ground when it comes to headline-making M&A activity…
And while billion-dollar buyouts were once unpredictable events for anyone outside Wall Street, Zach’s leveled the playing field.
He’s spotted phenomenal deals in time for everyday investors to take advantage of extraordinary windfalls.
And Zach expects buyout deals to break out this year, triggered by less red tape, low interest rates and the 2020 presidential race. But these catalysts won’t be around forever…
To get started… simply click here for all the particulars. But hurry… this offer expires TOMORROW at MIDNIGHT.]
Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel sure is keeping cool, calm and collected when it comes to the spread of coronavirus. (We kid.)
At a press conference this morning she said: “When the virus is out there, the population has no immunity and no therapy exists, then 60–70% of the population will be infected.
“The process has to be focused on not overburdening the health system by slowing the virus’s spread… It’s about winning time.”
Way NOT to yell “fire” in a crowded theater…
Oh — and then there’s this — the WHO is finally uttering the “P” word. P-A-N-D-E-M-I-C.
With that, it’s a market sell-off avalanche with the Dow down 1,000 points to 23,970 and the S&P 500 Index down 113 points to 2,670. As for the tech-heavy Nasdaq, it’s down 300 points to 8,040.
Checking in with commodities: Oil’s slip slidin’ away, down $1.17 to $33.19 for a barrel of West Texas crude; meanwhile, gold’s consolidating to $1,647 per ounce.
And the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield is 0.8% — up fractionally.
According to technology maven Ray Blanco, General Motors — the brand best known for trucks and SUVs — might beat Tesla at its electric vehicle (EV) game.
“GM’s new EV plan goes by the name Ultium,” says Ray. “And it’s a new EV platform on which the company can build any number of different vehicles, from performance coupes to family-hauling SUVs, reports GM.”
In 2020, it’s about time a major auto company takes the wraps off a new EV platform, but GM has the scale to actually, well, scale electric vehicles to compete with the likes of Tesla.
And GM doesn’t have to contend with the theatrics of lightning-rod CEO Elon Musk; plus, the company “has been making a record number of cars and trucks since the company was founded way back in 1908,” says Ray. “It’s a boring company, but in a good way.
“On the other hand,” he continues, “Tesla has run into issues with consumer cost and scale. Until recently, Tesla had no ability to manufacture overseas and even the lowest-cost Tesla Model 3 is still too expensive for the average person to buy.”
With factories all over the world, “GM plans to reduce cost by reducing what it sees as needless complexity while simultaneously increasing battery capacity.”
Ray says: “[GM’s Ultium] platform will support somewhere around 400 miles of range.” That’s better than Tesla’s longest-range battery capacity by 10 miles.
“Ultium will also support fast charging. This is essential because the Ultium’s battery range will go from 50 kWh all the way up to 200 kWh — twice as large as any currently offered Tesla battery.”
What really sets Ultium apart? General Motors brands — including Chevy, Buick, Cadillac and GMC — can manufacture any model vehicle using the Ultium platform. “Compare that with Tesla’s three (four if you count the upcoming Model Y) cars it currently offers.”
According to a GM press release, the company anticipates selling 1 million electric vehicles annually by 2025; while GM’s a few years away from seriously putting a dent in Tesla’s market share, they’re coming for you, Elon…
Speaking of Gen Xers, a survey by the National Association of Realtors found applicants 40–54 years old were denied mortgages more often than any other age group. The reasons? Low credit scores. High debt-to-income ratios. The usual. Oh, and this…
“Generation X has a higher share of denied mortgages because they are most likely to have sold a distressed house or have been underwater during the recession. Plus, they may have taken on more debt from their children’s student loans,” says Jessica Lautz, a VP at the National Association of Realtors (emphasis ours).
*shaking head at Gen X* (I’m not upset… just disappointed — in my own, oft-overlooked generation.)
Many Gen Xers have delayed homeownership — by about five years — after being dogged by their own student loan debt. Have we learned nothing?
“While there are a lot of myths about how each generation acts, Generation X does behave differently,” said Ms. Lautz. “They face different family pressures.”
Huh… from “slacker generation” to “sandwich generation”…
“Guys, you got it wrong,” says a self-described prepper and longtime reader…
“You need two parts Everclear to one part aloe… Eek, don’t kill your subscribers!”
Along the same lines, a reader says: “For hand sanitizer to be effective it must contain at least 60% alcohol.”
He adds: “I know the math is hard for the scientifically illiterate, so that translates to more like 2.5 parts Everclear to 1.5 parts aloe to be on the safe side.
“Some of your readers will no doubt try your formula out of ignorance, so you might want to clarify for the sake of public health. Just saying.”
The 5: For the sake of public health, skip the Everclear and score some Purell.
On second thought, don’t skip the Everclear… it might come in handy. (Just not handy.)

SOS Wildlife Judy Watson
Judy Watson involved in Jim Jablon scheme at https://911animalabuse.com/james-jablon-aka-jim-jablon/
As of 2010 SOS Wildlife houses 10 large cats and 3 smaller cats
When Carole Baskin and Big Cat Rescue became known for trying to stop the trade in exotic cats as pets, Judy Watson began slandering them in an attempt to draw the attention off the subject; Exotic Animals as Pets, which is not a subject anyone can defend, and try to misdirect attention in any way she can.
Judy Watson was briefly a volunteer at Wildlife on Easy Street but was fired for what was considered animal abuse at Wildlife on Easy Street. She then moved to Brooksville and started the Survival Outreach Sanctuary with Jim Moore, but they subsequently split off into two separate organizations. Judy (age 64 in 2008) owns 2 tigers, a lion, six wolves, a lemur, 5 cougars, 2 caracals and 1 serval.
Before coming to Wildlife on Easy Street Watson served as the right hand person to Bert Wahl’s Wildlife Rescue. The St. Pete Times stated, “Bert Wahl was found guilty of misdemeanor animal cruelty Thursday, after jurors deliberated for little more than an hour. He faces a maximum of one year in prison and a $5,000 fine. Prosecutors said Wahl abused the cougar for an hour and a half on Nov. 4, and the animal was euthanized a few days later. The prosecutors listed the accusations against Wahl in thick black marker for the jury Thursday. The list said he choked the cougar; dragged the cougar; dragged the cougar by a choker chain; punched the cougar; kicked the cougar; hit the cougar with a shoe; and jammed a mop and broom handle down the cougar’s throat.”
When Judy came to Wildlife on Easy Street she wanted a second chance. A chance to prove that she was not the same kind of ilk as the man she had worked for, and Wildlife on Easy Street gave her that chance, but under strict supervision. It was at a time when small animals were still taken off-site to schools and civic centers but the deal made with Watson was that if the cat didn’t want to go, no matter who was expecting her to show up with a cat, she would have to improvise with a presentation that did not include a live animal. It is common practice for those who use animals this way to keep them in carriers when they are not out in public, so that the animal is so happy to be freed from his confinement that he will lay there on a chain for hours. Wildlife on Easy Street would not allow Judy to confine Jayla that way and Watson complained that when she needed the cat to work, the cat did not want to leave her 1200 square foot enclosure full of trees, bushes and things for a cougar to do. Carole Lewis would not allow the cougar to be so confined and as a result Judy Watson would often take a Jungle Cat, who was much easier to handle being only 25 lbs, compared to Jayla’s 90 lbs.
When Judy Watson was witnessed by two other Wildlife on Easy Street volunteers to be forcing the Jungle Cat into the carrier for an event she was told to pack her trailer and move out. That was somewhere around 1998 or 1999 and Watson then started up her own big cat business in 2000. After Don Lewis disappeared in 1997 the sanctuary stopped breeding and trading in exotic cats and there was a small band of people who left when the policies changed. Between 1997 and 1999 Susan Aronoff, Judy Watson, Jim Moore, and Debbie Sandlin left Wildlife on Easy Street because of the change in direction.

Subj: More lies from Carole Lewis Baskin
Here is just another example of how Carole just makes
things up as she goes along.
Here, she is throwing around a lot of innuendo about a
gentleman named Thomas Kirby. Carole’s lies are at
the bottom, so you may want to read that first.
Any time someone speaks against her, she makes up
lies and puts them on her “animal abuser” list.
Did you read that stuff I sent you at www.rexano.org/bcr.htm ?

She can keep on guessing. One clue: I have never been convicted of any crime in Georgia, so there is a “Thomas Kirby” that she can leave out. Unfortunately I am also not a surgeon qualified to do transplants who blew the whistle on shabby hospital practices. Or am I? I may or may not be an artist. I have never driven with alcohol in my system and I have never driven a boat, either. My criminal record is squeaky clean and so is my driving record, heavy duty knocking on wood on that last.
She’s telling the truth about what I say about animal rights activists, but, duh. That’s all a matter of public record.
If you want to read a “Spanish page of Yahoo”, go on to www.yahoo.es, then look at “my groups.”
Did Don Lewis come out in the lion shit or the tiger shit? I hope that I saved the bio that Baskin might have deleted, especially the part that made it obvious that she must have been Don Lewis’s “other woman” while he was still married to his former wife. I think we also know who has permanent neurological damage.
We read stuff like this to see just how loose the animal rights activists are. It looks like the geese were hitting the milk of Magnesia pretty hard this week. Thank you for posting this, Zuzana. It’s pretty funny ;> I don’t know if she’s lying, I’ve been convinced for a while that Baskin has simply lost her mind.

Thomas Kirby AKA slowswimmer
Thomas Kirby posted at Yahoo, that if money were no problem, “I would own lions and tigers and breed lions, tigers, and ligers.” You can read a lot of his posts at http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/Phoenix_Exotics and he often posts tirades against what he calls ARA (Animal Rights Activists) saying that they are the enemy who are taking away all of his rights.
A recent post by Thomas Kirby tells you where he is coming from. This was posted on the Phoenix Exotics group on May 1, 2008: “No way on Earth will I support any anti-puppy mill bills. The goal of those bills is to put an end to breeding.”
Is this the same Thomas Kirby who was arrested in 2006 for leaving the scene of an accident where a 11 year old boy was run over by the boat he and his drunken friend Roger Guzman were allegedly driving?
An Internet search of Kirby’s handle slowswimmer1 dates back to 2006 and seems particularly unkind given that the boy who was run down while swimming is partially blind from the accident and has permanent neurological damage. A lot of people have the same names, but the articles surrounding the crime say that Thomas Kirby was 35 and an LA resident. Articles go on to say the men were Latino and Kirby’s post about wanting to breed lions and tigers was on a Spanish page of Yahoo. Maybe it is all coincidental, but if you know the truth, please post it here.

Note from TheirVoice:
Big Cat Rescue has not lost any standing with The Association of Sanctuaries. They have always been an accredited rescue facility and have always said so.
As for the BBB, if you go to their website they say that Big Cat Rescue does not qualify for the seal because they posted letters their opposition sent to the BBB and that it was a violation of their standards to do so. Nothing in their standards said that, but it seems they chose to interpret it that way.
Big Cat Rescue Corp (BCRC) does not meet the following Standard for Charity Accountability.
BCRC does not meet this standard because its response to three complaints brought to its attention by the BBB of West Florida was to post on its website links to copies of these complaints along with allegations that the complaints were “false.”
In the fall of 2007, BCRC distributed in Florida a flyer about upcoming public meetings being held by the Florida Wildlife Conservation Committee to discuss neighbor notification of exotic animal ownership. Shortly after the BCRC flyer was distributed, the BBB of West Florida, located in Clearwater, received written complaints alleging that the flyer threatened individuals, businesses and/or organizations that possessed such animals. BBB of West Florida forwarded three of the complaints to BCRC.
Upon receipt of the complaints, BCRC posted on its web site criticism of the three individuals alleging that each filed a “false” complaint with the BBB. In addition, BCRC posted links on its website to the complaints received from the BBB of West Florida.
The BBB Wise Giving Alliance informed BCRC that publicly identifying and criticizing individuals who complained about it to the BBB is not an appropriate way to respond to complaints, whatever their nature. BCRC subsequently removed from its web site the above mentioned criticism of the individuals as well as the links to the complaints received from the BBB.
Big Cat Rescue Corp (BCRC) meets the remaining 19 Standards for Charity Accountability.

Trapt, Smash Mouth, Lit, Buckcherry, Quiet Riot + More Playing August Motorcycle Rally
The 80th Annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in Meade County in South Dakota, a week-long merging of a motorcycle rally and music, is on for Aug. 7 through Aug. 16. Masks and social distancing is encouraged but not required for the rally, but masks will be mandatory in the amphitheater at the Buffalo Chip campgrounds on location where performances from a number of rock bands — Trapt, Smash Mouth, Buckcherry, Lit, Quiet Riot, and more — will take place.
"The Sturgis Buffalo Chip says they're moving forward with business as usual," said a NewsCenter1 telecast on July 15. "With concerts and bike shows the Chip is going to offer the same entertainment in years past and despite COVID-19 organizers saying there won't be any mask or social distancing requirements," the coverage continued.
Following the surge in coronavirus cases around the United States, the Buffalo Chip has issued a July 22 update regarding safety precautions that will be taken. "Guests will be required to have a mask with them when they enter the amphitheater," states one bullet point. "Attendants will be stationed at designated restroom and shower facilities to clean toilet and shower stalls after each use," another precaution outlined.
Concerts will be held all throughout the rally and, on the rock side, will feature Molly Hatchet, The Guess Who, Adelitas Way, Smash Mouth, Trapt, Night Ranger, Saving Abel, Buckcherry, Drowning Pool, Lit, 38 Special, Quiet Riot and Reverend Horton Heat.
See the complete concert schedule for the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally below.
More than half of the states in the country have face mask mandates when in public, but South Dakota is not one of them. The state has recorded a total of 8,077 positive COVID-19 cases as of July 23, with 119 deaths documented according to DOH.SD.gov.
The Sturgis Motorcycle Rally is held on the first Friday of each August for a total of 10 days and was founded in 1938, originally hosting stunts and races. In decades since, it has grown into a major draw, generating hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue and attracting hundreds of thousands of guests.
Per Wikipedia, attendance peaked in 2015 at 739,000 people and then dropped significantly the following two years with an estimated attendance of over 450,000 in 2016 and ticked up the next year at 480,000. The South Dakota Department of Transformation noted 506,000 guests last year.
The CDC (Center for Disease Control) has repeatedly urged the American public to adopt the use of face masks in public to mitigate the spread of the coronavirus.
"We are not defenseless against COVID-19," said CDC Director Dr. Robert R. Redfield. "Cloth face coverings are one of the most powerful weapons we have to slow and stop the spread of the virus – particularly when used universally within a community setting. All Americans have a responsibility to protect themselves, their families, and their communities."

The Barbell Prescription: Strength Training for Life After 40 directly addresses the most pervasive problem faced by aging humans: the loss of physical strength and all its associated problems – the loss of muscle mass, bone mineral loss and osteoporosis, hip fractures (a terminal event for many older people), loss of balance and coordination, diabetes, heart disease related to a sedentary lifestyle, and the loss of independence.
The worst advice an older person ever gets is, “Take it easy.” Easy makes you soft, and soft makes you dead. The Barbell Prescription maps an escape from the usual fate of older adults: a logical, programmed approach to the hard work necessary to win at the extreme sport of Aging Well. Unlike all other books on the subject of exercise for seniors, The Barbell Prescription challenges the motivated Athlete of Aging with a no-nonsense training approach to strength and health – and demonstrates that everybody can become significantly stronger using the most effective tools ever developed for the job.

Indian food has many health benefits
Being generally low in fat, high in vegetables, legumes and whole grains, fruit and lean meats, Indian food has many health benefits. It is noted for its inclusion of many spices and vegetarian, vegan and non-vegetarian options, as well as its variety of flavours and colours.
So, what makes an Indian diet healthy? In answer to this, let’s take a look at the typical components of an Indian diet:
– High in a wide variety of vegetables and fruit (spinach, carrots, eggplant, mango etc.)
– High in a variety of spices and herbs, such as ginger, garlic and coriander
– Low in saturated fat
– Widely vegetarian
– High in fibre, vitamins and minerals
There are specific components of an Indian diet which have a range of health benefits.
Chickpeas, for example, which are often used in vegetarian curries, are a great source of fibre, zinc, folate and protein, which makes them a healthy factor in a vegetarian Indian diet. Spinach and tomatoes, which are widely used in Indian cuisine, are also known superfoods, containing high levels of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals.
Many Indian sauces and accompaniments are vegetable based, such as Sag aloo (spinach) and Gobhi Aloo (cauliflower with potatoes) making them a healthy choice as the majority do not use cream or cheese.
The minty yoghurt dip raita, made from natural yoghurt, cucumber and mint, is a source of calcium and is a low fat alternative to sauces such as mayonnaise.
Garlic features greatly in Indian cooking, which is said to be good for the heart, as do chili peppers, which are good for the immune system and metabolism.
Indian dishes often use vegetable, sesame and coconut oil rather than butter, which keeps them lower in saturated fat.
Finally, as Indian dishes have such an impacting taste often just a small portion can satisfy taste buds, helping you to consume fewer calories. Indian cuisine’s variety and vibrancy keeps it interesting, which is a healthy component to any cuisine as variety can prevent boredom and overeating.
At Aastha Devotional Indian Restaurant we strive to create an authentic Indian dining experience that brings joy and happiness to our customers. We use the finest ingredients and the best spices to create flavourful and delicious dishes that are inspired by a wholistic approach to food and health.

RALEIGH, North Carolina (WTVD) -- Authorities are investigating a crash involving a YMCA bus in Raleigh on Wednesday evening.
Authorities said the driver of a gray car pulled out onto Lineberry Drive and Mountain Mist Court in the Trailwood Hills neighborhood. That's near I-40 and Gorman Street, south of downtown Raleigh.
The driver pulled out onto the wrong side of the road, authorities said, and crashed head-on into the bus. Officials said 15 students were on the bus at the time of the crash, but none were injured.
Raleigh police said the driver was taken to WakeMed with non-life threatening injuries.
Police haven't said if the driver will face charges.

The technical recession is the one that many of us are feeling right now. It is a recession in the financial markets that is caused by weak demand for goods and services. The economy is in recession because the economy is slowing down. There are many reasons for this, but two of the most important are the loss of jobs and the rise in unemployment.
The recession is the worst thing that has happened to the US economy since the Great Depression. It is the worst recession since the Great Depression and the worst since the 1920s. It is because of this that many economists are now forecasting that the US economy will shrink for the rest of this year. This is a very real and serious economic crisis that many people are still paying attention to and are actively taking to Washington D.C. to see the solutions.
There is no real solution for the situation that we are in. The only thing the government can do is to create a jobs bill and pass it. This is done by congress. This is a non-partisan process and the majority of Americans do not care for this process. The unemployment rate is currently around 9.3 percent, which is just above the 10 percent threshold that triggers a recession.
The only thing that is really good about this is that the economy is going to go down, so it’s going to be hard to prevent it. In order to prevent this, we need to stop all of our politicians from talking about it.
They are, however, talking about it for the last time. The economy is not exactly going to be the way it was before the recession. Now we’ll see if people who are in jobs can’t get them again. If you’re currently unemployed, you need to be making a decision about whether you want to work or not. You can’t keep working for a job that’s going to hurt you in the long run.
I think it would be helpful if we were allowed to talk about the economy, so we can all work together to make it so we can all get the economy back to where it was. What works, what doesn’t, and how to make it so that everyone is treated equally. But we’re going to have to figure that out for ourselves.
The technical recession is a real thing, and the last time it was this deep was back in the early 90’s. When that happened, the only people who could afford to start new businesses were very wealthy, because they could easily afford to start a new business and make a lot of money. Now that situation has changed, and people have to start from scratch, whether they want to or not.
Our economy is still in a technical recession, and we’re still far behind where it should be. Despite a lot of the talk about the “bubble” that’s been forming for a long time, the problem is that no one wants to admit they’ve been in a tech recession. It’s a big, big problem, and it’s not something people want to hear.
What they seem to be saying is that while they should be able to make a lot of money, they shouldn’t because they can’t, and they know they can’t. So they keep quiet about it. And then they get hit with the biggest recession since the Great Depression. People will tell you that people talk about tech recession, but they don’t really mean “tech recession.” The people saying “tech recession” are more interested in how people are feeling right now.
the big problem in tech recession is that nobody really knows what a tech recession is. Is it just a phrase that is thrown around by people who know a lot about tech? Or is it actually that nobody really knows what a tech recession actually is? The truth is that it can be anything from a very short period of time to a very long period of time. In any case, the tech recession can be anything from a year to a decade.

In the past year, I have had many conversations about viruses, vaccinations and immunity. I have been surprised by the number of my friends who have serious reservations about vaccinations – one reason for this blog! It seems to me that most fit into the following categories:
- Informed and ‘yes’ to vaccination
- Trust in science and ‘yes’ to vaccines
- Want to be more informed and so hesitant about vaccines
- Sceptical but willing to listen
- Sceptical and distrustful but willing to at least engage and agree to disagree
- Distrustful, researched but been misinformed, decided, absolute ‘no’ to vaccines and quite possibly ‘no’ to the existence of a pandemic or even coronaviruses
Those in this last category have a wide range of views including that:
- COVID-19 doesn’t even exist but, according to David Icke and Alex Jones, is a plot by the globalist elite to take away our freedoms.
- Covid-19 is the result of 5G mobile phone signals either by making people sick or by depressing peoples’ immune systems and so making them vulnerable to the virus
- Covid-19 vaccines will alter our DNA
- Covid-19 vaccines will implant microchips into people so that Bill Gates can control them
- Huge numbers of people will die from taking the Covid-19 vaccine (Bill Gates said so)
- Covid-19 vaccines are rushed and shoddy – scientists say it takes 10 years to develop a new vaccine
If you identify with one or more of these views and have decided that nothing will change it, then my next few posts will probably make you feel much the same way as I felt while researching for my piece on conspiracy theories and digesting ‘The Hidden History of the Incredibly Evil Khazarian Mafia’. (I won’t post a link here and really, you probably don’t want to go there!) So I suggest that you might want to read something more to your taste…
But before you leave me, allow me to share this story:
‘Mulla Nasruddin and one of his friends had been drinking all evening in a bar. The friend finally passed out and fell to the floor. The Mulla called a doctor who rushed him to a hospital. When he came to, the doctor asked him, “Do you see any pink elephants or little green men?”
“No,” groaned the patient.
“No snakes or alligators?” the doctor asked.
“No,” the drunk said.
“Then just sleep it off. You will be all right in the morning,” said the doctor.
But Mulla Nasruddin was worried. “Look, doctor,” he said, “that boy is in bad shape. He said he could not see any of those animals, and you and I know the room is full of them.”’

Juneteenth, celebrated every June 19th for over 150 years, is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States. The day marks the official end of slavery in the US. Even though President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, enslaved people in Texas were only made aware of their freedom two years later, on June 19th, 1865. Juneteenth has been commemorated by African American families ever since, and President Joe Biden signed a bill making it the newest federal holiday in 2021.
This year, we asked graduate research fellows from the Racial Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Science Education project to share what Juneteenth means to them and how they celebrate the day.
Juanita: It means true independence from enslavement.
Veronica: Juneteenth is not merely symbolic: it actually marks the ending of physical slavery in this country. Though slavery had ended legally, some slaves had not yet received word that they had been “freed.” Juneteenth marks the day those slaves were finally informed that they were in fact free.
Juanita: I do have memories of celebrating Juneteenth and discussing the importance of this day because of history. My family would read articles and discuss the impact they had on our culture.
Veronica: Where I am from in Denver, each year there is an annual Juneteenth celebration. As a child I went to the parade each year, and enjoyed the two day festival that followed. Though I understood the significance of Juneteenth as a child, I did not understand the gravity…I wasn’t aware of how significant our celebration was. The parade involved step teams, speakers, activists, dancers, community organizations, etc. One year, I met Al Sharpton there [when he] marched in the parade. I still have that picture. The two-day festival covered the historic Five Points community (where Duke Ellington and others played when they came to Denver). There were more African American merchants, cooks, business owners, creatives, and activists there than one could imagine. I remember Juneteenth being a celebration of freedom, and we did not only mark it with a parade. We celebrated by exercising the skills we were able to use to make a living after we were liberated. There was almost a rebellious nature in our celebration. We were parading our liberation, and enjoying cooperative economics: keeping our money within our community.
Juanita: I didn’t react. I believe that this holiday was rich and meaningful without government interference.
Veronica: My reaction initially was excitement, because it meant that the government was finally acknowledging its role in subjugating people of color. There could be no more pretending. Almost immediately though, I felt angry. It was only a matter of time before white business owners would commercialize the celebration, and attempt to capitalize on our jubilee.
Juanita: I haven’t changed the way I celebrated this holiday. I attend festivals and support Black businesses as I did before the change.
Veronica: Over the years the Juneteenth celebration in Denver has shrunk, much of which is due to gentrification. They have raised booth fees, and it is increasingly difficult for Black businesses to participate. Needless to say, this prevents a valuable opportunity for white business owners to participate in the market part of the festival. (This defeats the purpose.) We do not have a Juneteenth celebration in my current city.
Juanita: During June, I become more intentional about supporting as many Black businesses as possible. I explain the holiday to my children, and I attend festivals so that my children can see the broadness of Black talents, culture, and history in the making.
Veronica: There are two things that I will be doing this year to commemorate Juneteenth.

Life-giving, loving, faithful God – Prayers for the Church of England’s Living in Love & Faith process
AS the Church of England is in the process of sharing its Living in Love and Faith (LLF) resources on identity, sexuality, relationships and marriage, I offer these prayers for everyone involved, and those who feel unable to be involved.

SUMOGRIP MECHANICAL PENCILS
Fingers feel relaxed and flexible while holding the specially designed, triangular shaped grip of the SumoGrip pencil.
The ergonomically correct contour is a natural fit for hands. Physical therapists recommend SumoGrip to carpal tunnel patients and for adults with fine motor skill difficulty. SumoGrip 0.9mm withstands strong writing pressure because of the heavier lead and the clear, fixed lead sleeve, making it perfect for anyone who tends to press hard while writing.
