101 Barbirolli Square, Manchester
Transformational refurbishment of one of Manchester’s most iconic office buildings
Value: £7 million
Programme: Jun 2017 – Sep 2018
Size: 85,000 sqft
Service: Architecture & Interiors
Felix Mooneeram
5plus have led the transformation of the iconic 101 Barbirolli Square in Manchester City Centre. We were commissioned by the owners to develop a high-end new look for the building, one of a high profile pair built in the 1990’s that sit across from the Bridgewater Hall. 101 Barbirolli Square is a landmark building located on a gateway site, It sits on the fringe of St Peter’s Square which has undergone significant regeneration in recent years. Our proposals acknowledge the renewed prominence of this area by re-orientating the main entrance.
Internally, our response has been to strip the building back, introducing new curtain walling to the atrium and the use of high quality, simple finishes to create a very sophisticated, bespoke space. We have collaborated with a number of galleries and art colleges to source a large piece of artwork for installation into the elegant new atrium entrance.
We were commissioned to design the building identity and signage. This included iconography, wayfinding, floor numbers, tenant directories and supergraphics in the basement, car park and cycle storage areas.

Temple Info
Koh Ker Temple
Date: Built in early tenth century
King: Jayavarman IV (921-941)
Posthumous name: Paramasivapada
Koh Ker was once an ancient capital of Cambodia, located in Srayong Cheung village, Srayong commune, Kulen district, about 49 kilometers west of the provincial town. The Koh Ker complex is on the Chhork Koki highland. It was built by King Jayavaraman IV (AD 928-942). Koh Ker temple is 35 meters high, and its design resembles a seven-stepped stupa. The temple faces west toward Angkor city. It was built to worship Treypuvanesvara, the god of happiness.
So far, 96 temples have been found in Koh Ker: Dav, Rumlum Bey, Beung Veng, Trapiang Prey, Dey Chhnang, Srok Srolao, Lingam, Kuk Srakum, Trapiang Ta, Sophy, Krahom, Andoung, Ang Khna, Teuk Krahom, Damrei Sar, Krarab, Banteay Pichoan, Kuk, Kmao, Thneung, Thorn Balang, Rohal, Chamneh, Sampich, Trapiang Svay, Neang Kmao, Pram, Bat, Khnar Chen, Klum, Chrab, Dangtung, Prang, Kampiang.... These temples were not constructed near each other. Today, many of them are no longer standing, and some are buried in the ground. The followings are locations and descriptions of some of the Koh Ker temples
. Neang Khmao Temple
The Koh Ker complex is along a trail that is about 3 kilometers long. The first temple, Neang Khmao sits atop a small hill on the east side of the trail. The temple, which faces west toward Angkor city, is made of sandstone. It is 20 meters high and resembles a stupa. The temple terrace is 2 meters high and divided into three decks. The temple is surrounded by a laterite rampart, 44 meters square and 2 meters high. The rampart has only two openings; one on the east side, and the other on the west. The temple once housed lingam and yoni, but only yoni remains. The lintel sculpture has been damaged, but otherwise, most of the temple is in good condition, while nearly three-quarters of the rampart is good condition.
. Pram Temple
About 700 to 800 meters north of Neang Khmao temple is another temple called Pram temple. Constructed of laterite and sandstone, it sits on a small hill surrounded by bushes that block the lingam and the lintel. The main body of the temple is in good condition.
. Chen Temple
Farther down the trail is a three-peak temple made of laterite and sandstone. It faces east and is called Chen temple. Inside the temple there is a piece of lingam and remnants of a statue of King Jayavarman IV. A sculpture of garuda's head on the south lintel is missing. The temple is overgrown by forest.
. Preng Well
About 800 to 900 meters farther, there is the Preng well, which is similar to a pond. Surrounded by stone, it is 20 meters square. The terrace is about 8 centimeters high. The water in the pond is clear, and a nearby tree provides shade for weary visitors looking for a place to relax.
. Rampart of Koh Ker Temple
Another kilometer down the trail is the rampart of Koh Ker temple. 1 kilometer long and 2 kilometers high, it is made of laterite. Koh Ker temple is the middle of a rampart, surrounded by 20 more temples. Some of the temples are:
. Kuk Temple or Gopura
Kuk temple or Gopura is made of sandstone and has a sculpture of lotus petals on the temple fronton. Although the door frame is damaged, most of the temple is in good condition. A Shiva lingam that once was housed inside has been looted.. Prang Temple
Prang temple is constructed of sandstone and bricks. There are five separate parts of this temple. About 70 percent of the temple is still standing.
. Krahom Temple
About 10 meters farther is Kramhom temple (The red temple). Constructed of brick and shaped like a seven-level pyramid, the temple is decorated with a 20-meter-tall sculpture of lotus petals. Inside the temple, there is a 3-meter-tall statue of Shiva with eight arms and four heads. The statue is supported by an l-square-meter base. The statue is seriously damaged, only some parts remain.
. Khmao Temple
Farther down is Khmao temple. On the wall and door frame of the temple, there is a partially damaged inscription. Near the temple is a rampart gateway to Kampiang temple. The gateway is a 2-meter staircase. Some sculptures of lotus petals, seven-headed nagas and garudas remain.
. Koh Ker Temple
About 300 meters farther to the west is Kampiang or Koh Ker temple. From a distance, the temple looks like a small hill, because it is covered by forest. Up close, however, it is actually a 35-meter-high stupa made of sandstone. It has seven levels, each level about 5 meters above the other. Each deck has a 2-meter-wide terrace, and there is a 55- step staircase to the top. At the top of the temple, there are large statues of garudas supporting Shiva lingam Treypuvanesvara. Nearby, there is a 4-meter square well, now completely covered by grass. According to local villagers, if a coconut is dropped into this well, it will appear in the pond near Neang Khmao temple. There is vegetation growing on top of the temple, and from there visitors have an excellent view of the surrounding landscape, in particular, Phnom Dangrek, Phnom Tbeng, and Kulen district.To the north of Koh Ker temple is another temple, Damrei Sar temple, but it is heavily damaged. To the northeast, is Iingam . This temple once housed three Shiva lingams, but some are now damaged.

'The Fosters' Preaches on Sin
Published: 7/21/2015 2:04 PM ET

By Dylan Gwinn
The Catholic Church found itself sitting squarely in the sights of the hour long leftist infomercial known as ABC Family's “The Fosters.” In last night’s episode, "Faith, Hope, Love," Mariana Foster (Cierra Ramirez) gets an invitation from her birth mother to be a Godmother to her infant half-sister. Get all that?
Mariana is super-excited about being a Godmother. But when she tells her moms that she herself must be baptized first, (she has two lesbian mothers who are her adoptive parents, for those of you just joining us) they’re mortified. Mariana tells them that her birth family said she would go to hell if she wasn’t baptized. Appalled at the idea that their adopted daughter would join the ranks of the evil, intolerant, gay-hating Catholics, and outraged that they would threaten confinement to Hades if she didn’t go along, they forbid her from joining the Church.
Which sets up this little exchange when the lesbian mothers go to Mariana’s birth family to confront them about overstepping their bounds with all this talk of their imaginary friend, God.
-Our church provides a sense of community and a sense of purpose. We just wanted to share that with Mariana. Is that so bad?
-You told our daughter that she's going to hell.
-I never said that.
-Really? Okay, but if you're afraid that you won't meet her in heaven, what other option is there, Victor?
-If Mariana isn't baptized before she dies, her soul will be in limbo. And we don't want her to suffer, waiting for purification, before she joins God in heaven.
-We didn't mean to overstep.
–Mmm.
-Hey, um... My moms just want to talk about the baptism.
-We wouldn't be in this position if Ana had had her children baptized in the first place. It's something I really regret.
-We hear you, and we understand, Ana... But here's the thing. Jesus and Mariana are not your children. Or your grandchildren. You have a relationship with Mariana because we allow it. It's not your place to parent her.
-They're right. They're her parents. I'm sorry. I should've asked permission before any of this.
-Yes. Yes, you should have.
-Fine. You're right. Absolutely. But let me ask you something. You don't go to church, right?
-No, we don't.
-So, do you not believe in God?
-That's a fairly personal question, Elena.
-Okay. Then, tell me this. Is there any reason you don't want your children to believe in God?
The lady has a point. After all, if hetero parents can watch their kids grow to be homosexuals, in defiance of what they believe in and how they’ve lived their lives, then why can’t this lesbian couple allow their adopted daughter to go through her own spiritual journey, even if it conflicts with their worldview? In fact, so compelling was the birth family’s case, the Fosters even relented and let Mariana make up her own mind about what to do.
But of course, no way could a Fosters episode end with the lesbians being shown to be intolerant and the Catholic Church made to look like the pinnacle of love and inclusiveness. On the day of the baptism, Mariana has her sit-down with the priest, so she can make her baptism official. But it doesn’t go smoothly:
-Mariana, are you ready?
-Um, yes. Father Pena, these are my moms.
-Lovely to meet you.
-Nice to meet you.
-Pleasure.
-Shall we? Now, I know you weren't raised in the church, but I'm happy to see that your reunion with your grandparents is—
-my birth grandparents.
-Oh, uh... Of course. Um... I'm happy to see that your reunion with your birth grandparents has ignited an interest in a spiritual connection. Normally, before we do this, there's quite a bit of instruction, but these are obviously very special circumstances. So, then I'll bring you up and introduce you as Mariana Gutierrez—
-no, no, no. "Adams-Foster."
-Right. I'm sorry. I knew that. I'm just getting everything wrong today, aren't I?
-It's fine.
-So, then, at the altar, you'll repeat after me, and recite the following oath before your congregation and God. "I believe and profess all that the holy Catholic Church "Believes, teaches, and proclaims, to be revealed by God."
-Is it a sin to say the oath and not believe it?
-Well, it is a sin to lie, but what don't you believe?
-Well, you met my moms. They're married. Would the church accept them?
-Of course. We welcome all sinners.
After this sit-down, Mariana decides there’s no way she could join a church that would look at her moms as sinners just because they’re married. The statement where the priest tells her “we welcome all sinners” is supposed to be the hateful line that drives Mariana away.
Yet, this highlights the critical difference between the Catholic Church and liberals. First of all, every religion, political movement, and belief system believes in sin. If you’re a Catholic, gay marriage is one sin. If you’re a liberal, the many sins are smoking, eating trans fats, not recycling, believing in traditional marriage, or refusing to say Bruce "Caitlyn" Jenner is a fox. Those are all sins. Catholicism is not the only belief system that believes in sinners. But they’re identical to liberals in that they see certain people as being sinners.
The enormous difference between the two is highlighted in the same sentence. Catholics love their enemies, love sinners. Please show me where liberals ever express love for their opponents. Did libs express love for the other side after the SCOTUS ruling on gay marriage, while they tweeted F-bombs to every conservative who used the hashtag #tcot? Were they being compassionate when they told Bristol Palin she should get an abortion? Were they being inclusive this past weekend, when they actually booed a Presidential candidate for saying that all lives matter?
"The Fosters" set out last night to portray the Catholic Church as wildly intolerant. However, from what we see in the real world, it’s clear that the harshest and least inclusive religion in America is liberalism.

Sailing is (kind of) like riding a bicycle
François Chareyron
Last official Star race for Hamish Pepper was at the Olympics in 2012 (he finished 5th). More than 3 years later, it did not take long for the Kiwi skipper to retrieve his sensations. Probably that sailing with one of the most successful crew ever, I named Bruno Prada, helped a bit.
Pepper and Prada after winning Race 3 at the SSL Finals 2015.
However, this shows once again that when you have a talent, you tend to keep it even if you don’t practise that much. Obviously, the light conditions experienced for this inaugural day of the SSL Finals 2015 in Nassau gave an advantage to the experienced Star sailors as it requires a strong knowledge of the boat to make it go fast in such particular weather. But the performance of the 44 year old Kiwi skipper is still remarkable. Scoring a series of (11)-7-1-2, the progress was undoubtedly noticeable and it took him only one race to be able to score a Top 10 and three to fire a bullet. I am pretty sure that this is close to the definition of a successful come-back.
With 10 points and maximum 5 races before the end of the Qualification round, the newly formed duo can be confident in their chances to make the cut to the last day.

"A monumental quartet of films… seminal documentation of a little-known piece of WWII history..."
Alissa Simon, VARIETY, July 27, 2009
"For years no documentary depicting the Nazi persecution of Jews during WWII created such a buzz..."
Irena Zemanová, HOSPODÁŘSKÉ NOVINY, February 9, 2010
"...the most important enterprise in Czech documentary film of recent years."
Irena Hejdová, TÝDEN, January 25, 2010
"The four part series...which aspires to become one of the greatest Czech documentary events of the recent years, cannot but be compared with Claude Lanzmann's renowned film Shoah."
Aleš Borovan, E15, January 28, 2010
"...Forgotten Transports stand out from the multitude of Holocaust documentaries..."
Joseph Berger, THE NEW YORK TIMES, March 26, 2010
"The films...expand our understanding of the Holocaust like no films since the classic Shoah."
Hynek Pallas, SVENSKA DAGBLADET critic, Gothenburg IFF, January 2010
"The Forgotten Transports project of Lukas Pribyl shines a powerful and enlightening spotlight on a virtually unknown chapter of the Holocaust..."
Efraim Zuroff, director of Simon Wiesenthal Center Jerusalem, December 28, 2010
"One would think that by now there are very few stories left untold from the Shoah. But 'Forgotten Transports' touches on new ground, both in content and form."
George Robinson, JEWISH WEEK, March 23, 2010
"That...the series, makes such a fresh and powerful impression owes much to Pribyl's painstaking methodology."
"All archive material - moving or still images, much of it I guess shown for the first time - are connected to the places, events and time that the storytellers refer to."
Tue Steen Müller, FILMKOMMENTAREN.DK, January 6, 2011
"We see images we have thought cannot exist..."
Jiří Peňás, TÝDEN, March 16, 2009
"Over 10 years and visits to 30 countries, [Pribyl] hunted down photographs of SS camp commanders and snapshots taken by local residents and workers who might have encountered inmates, sometimes trading bottles of vodka for the artifacts"
"...[Pribyl] would conduct hundreds of interviews and sift through thousands of hours of film footage and photographs to document the story... "
"The creation of the four films in the Forgotten Transports project deserves its own film. "
"Pribyl has found material that will be unfamiliar to almost any viewer, no small achievement in an age in which Holocaust documentaries are plentiful."
"Forgotten transports prove that even sixty-five years after the war, not everything has been revealed."
"These are without doubt the best-documented Holocaust films I have seen. "
Zuzana Justman, EMMY winner, February 21, 2010
"The impression conveyed is that a photographer was along for the nightmare ride of the Czech Jews."
"It is about Czech Jews but the stories have a universal appeal."
"Pribyl has done a magnificent job of research and filmmaking."
"...an entrancing film both in content and form..."
"...skillfully edited images and testimonies form a powerful documentary, all the more effectively suggestive through its beautifully minimalist music..."
"Superbly crafted, Lukas Pribyl's landmark series contains extraordinary stories...as well as a profusion of striking newly-discovered footage and stills. "
"The four films ... are brilliantly conceived."
"It is a summary of archetypal stories about exceptional and often random miracle of survival."
"The films weave several strands in an approach echoing the chapter structure of Joyce's 'Ulysses'."
"Pribyl's series is breathtaking, no matter where it is screened. It is a project that stands its ground among the very best that has been filmed about the Holocaust."
Darina Křivánková, TÝDEN, July 17, 2009
"What an achievement! I don't recall when was the last time that I witnessed so captivating a historical documentary..."
"Lukas Pribyl's films are as suspenseful as they are important..."
"Lukas Pribyl's documentary contains tremendous power."
Jakub Leníček, CZECH RADIO, December 12, 2009
"The films result in fantastic narratives that overshadow the most suspenseful of thrillers."
"Unlike typical Holocaust docus, his films don't catalogue Nazi crimes, dwelling on how many people perished where... "
"By shifting focus from the evils of Nazism to questions of survival, life, death, love, family and treason, the portraits and the historical narrative also become much more human - and thus more understandable and horrible."
"...each of the four films takes the viewer on a journey...Or to be more precise: the survivors take the viewer with their personal stories, told in shocking and moving detail, but also with humor."
"Told in their own words, without commentary, these survival stories run the gamut, from a forbidden love affair to a survivor's participation in the Sobibor uprising."
"By focusing on the survivors alone, Pribyl shifts the discourse in his four films to the extraordinary circumstances and sheer ferocious will to live that made survival possible. "
"...the films are a celebration of life that finds its way through the worst of hell."
Naďa Klevisová, HOSPODÁŘSKÉ NOVINY, March 26, 2010
"Each film ... depicts a different mode of survival."
"...the four films that are as different as the fates [of the survivors] were different, sometimes very hard to watch and listen to, sometimes you smile."
"...the helmer formed relationships with the survivors, sometimes taking up to two years to persuade them to participate."
"...almost all of the interview subjects are telling their stories for the first time."
"Most of the subjects had never spoken of their wartime experiences before, not even to their own children."
"Forgotten Transports move far beyond the traditional depictions of the Holocaust; far from the overarching historical portrait of Nazi leadership in Berlin, and far from Auschwitz."
"Lukas Pribyl did more than track down survivors or burrow through film archives and deportation records."
"Instead, his work speaks about universals such as life, death, family, love and betrayal, while documenting distinct modes of survival in places including Latvia, Estonia and Belarus, as well as Poland."
"The human spirit is amazing. And that spirit is the true subject of Forgotten Transports. "
"The films...capture eruptions of human quirkiness - sometimes generous, sometimes cruel - that bring the Holocaust down to an earthly level."
"...multihypenate Lukas Pribyl, focuses on the difficult choices made by individuals escaping Nazi ghettos, labor and death camps..."
"Sensitive approach, honest work, great emotional charge and unbelievable vitality of people who passed through hell but did not lose insight and optimism - these are elements that make Forgotten transports one of the most impressive documentaries"

On October 14, at the invitation of the Supreme People's Procuratorate, Zhan Guohai, a representative of the National People ’s Congress and chairman of Xinhai Holdings, together with 22 representatives of the National People ’s Congress from Tianjin, Hebei, and Guizhou, focused on “public interest litigation services for the construction of the Hainan Free Trade Zone (Port)”. The theme is a 5-day inspection of Hainan Procuratorate.
On October 15th, Chairman Zhan Guohai and other representatives visited the Judicial Case Management Center and the History Exhibition Hall of the Procuratorate of Hainan Province, and watched the brief introduction video of the procuratorial function to understand the specific functions of the four prosecutions of the procuratorial organs. Hainan's procuratorate's approach to strengthening management has praised it repeatedly; watching the multi-system application demonstrations of information-based intelligent platforms such as remote review, remote hearings, and emergency prison network monitoring of detention centers in the province, we really felt the remarkable results of the smart prosecution construction.
At the subsequent NPC deputies inspecting the Hainan Procuratorial Work Symposium, the delegates showed how Hainan's procuratorial organs can further refine and implement public interest litigation work to better serve the people and serve to ensure that Hainan's comprehensive reform and opening up and the free trade zone (Hong Kong) ) Construction, put forward ardent expectations and specific suggestions.
Chairman Zhan Guohai and other representatives visited Xiuying District, Yangpu Economic Development Zone and other places in Haikou to learn more about Hainan's procuratorial organs carrying out public interest lawsuits to protect the public interests of the country and the people and serve to protect the construction of the Hainan Free Trade Area (Port).

Los Poncheros Cover
Chapter: The Rabbit Hunt (pages 1-15)
Los Poncheros – a Western graphic novel
Logline: Lew Dang, is a former Asian-American member of an outlawed poncho-wearing gang, who is forced into integrating a violent and racist Western territory. During his mission, he runs into former comrades who have been forced on conflicting missions, which will put the old friends on a collision course.
Summary: In Episode 1, we find members of Los Poncheros outlawed and aimless. Outlawed because of their failed attempt to form a breakaway republic called The Bat Colony amidst the chaos of the Civil War. Aimless because they can no longer carry weapons, wear their beloved ponchos, or assemble in groups greater than two.
However, there is never a dearth of greedy opportunists in the Wild West who want to use the infamous Poncheros’ skills as gunmen, riders, and fixers for their own ends. And so in their desperate state, former Poncheros are easily forced or seduced into going against everything they once stood for.

The coffeehouse painting, a school of oil color narrative painting, was formed in the late Qajar government during the constitution movement by untrained artists in coffeehouses with martial, artistic and religious themes. With the suppression of people’s liberty by such tyrannical government, the constitution revolution led to people’s movement in coffee houses where was made as one of the most important societies in the Qajar era playing a major role in shaping this movement. In the following article, it has been attempted to establish the coffee house as an institution with social and cultural functions in order to strengthen the national and religious spirit of the individuals. The research methodology includes library and field study based on the research of coffeehouse painting, the constitution revolution, and the study of Qajar coffeehouse atmospheres. After having analyzed and adapted the data, the following results are presented: the process of coffeehouse painting in coffee houses during the constitution Revolution was an anti-authoritarian and a critical movement against the Qajar government. Also, the content of the discourse in coffeehouses during the noted regime affected the themes of the paintings with a significant influence on the constitution revolution.
Keywords: Coffee House Painting, Coffee House, Qajar Autocracy, Constitution.
Introdction
Due to the need and demand of people and the respect for their beliefs, coffeehouse painting is a kind of oil color narrative painting that was emerged by untrained artists with martial, religious, and artistic themes during the constitution movement, based on the traditions of folk and religious art. Although the basis for this painting was an ancient tradition of storytelling and sorrow expressing in Iran, conditions for the growth of this popular art in coffee houses were provided during the Qajar era, and some painters in this school came up with a procedure that was beyond the domain of that time art (Saif, 2011). During this period (Nasser al-Din Shah’s long reign from 1848 to 1896 B.C, 1264-1313 A.H), with the emergence of foreign wars and the internal problems, the internal legitimacy crisis appeared by which influential religious and social heavals were created. This circumstance expresses the transformation of social forces and anti-authoritarian movements against the government of the time and the constitution revolution, which was the foundation of these radical changes, created profound and great social transformations that remarkably affected the strengthening of public institutions. Therefore, the coffeehouse, which was more important and long-lasting than the other institutions, became a place for attending these communities and as a strong and active social institution, played a very significant role in appearing public movement and had an undeniable effect on coffeehouse painting. With the assumption that the coffeehouses were the main factor of shaping the coffeehouse painting during the constitutional period regarding the social governing conditions, the influence of this public institution in its era on coffeehouse painting is reviewed, considering the atmosphere of coffeehouses during the constitution revolution and the Qajar dynasty.
The Influence of Constitution on Art and Culture Changes
Coffeehouse painting is a style of Iranian painting that reached its peak in the late Qajar era simultaneous with the constitution movement (Saif, 2011).
In the trend of the formation of constitution movement and the general awakening of the people and their awareness of the condition in the country, all the urban classes participated in the revolution, and there was not even one social class entered the scene against the revolution. Accordingly, a coalition of different groups of cities and various classes participated in the movement of constitution, and such a revolution was a public, democratic, mass and urban movement, instead of a bourgeoisie one (Yazdkhasti & Esmaili, 2008: 108).
In the field of culture and art, new conditions came to the fore. The Iranian people were involved in a new world-wide view by observing the new situation and suppressing the liberationist movements while facing their state and religious leaders who were involved into the battle. The Persians were witnessing new colonial intrigues on the one hand and the pressures of domestic tyranny every day on the other hand. Those who were not hopeful for the improvement and the destruction of seven-headed colonial and tyrannical dragons by observing the chaos and hypocrites in their real life were subconsciously attracted to the mythical and historical heroes and revived them (Saif, 2011). The constitution revolution, if not the turning point, was a breakthrough in Iran’s social transformation. It deeply changed Iran’s social and intellectual history. In this regard, two important issues should be mentioned:
1. In such a movement, people dared to present their social rights for the first time. It is very important for the people to have the right to think and to comment rightfully.
2. The society of Iran at that time focused on the main obstacle of the community improvement, and that was the terrible domination of despotism. In the view of Constitutionalists, the autocracy dried out sapling of thought and human growth, disclosed the liberation of the thought and the act of humans. This was the center of attention of the warriors and intellectuals (Nazari, 2007: 33).
In the definitions given to the coffee house, it was a place where attention was paid to the political, social and cultural considerations of the Qajar dynasties, and the presence of painters in this space, due to its simultaneity with the constitution movement, is a reason for their reconciliation with the atmosphere of the coffeehouse against the tyranny of the government. Just as the political revolutions originate from the lower and middle classes of the society and are based on the structure of the people’s organization, such as the workers and religious revolutions that rise against the autocracy and insurrection, the coffeehouse painting is formed from the lower layers of the society, and painters, who generally had a career other than painting, have shown a kind of intellectual awakening in their work, without being trained in a particular school.

Montreal Acquires Steve Mason From Winnipeg
MONTREAL - The Canadiens acquired forward Joel Armia, goaltender Steve Mason, a seventh-round selection in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft and a fourth-round pick in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft from the Winnipeg Jets on Saturday, in exchange for defenseman Simon Bourque.
Armia is coming off his most productive season points-wise in the NHL ranks, setting single-season highs in all three major offensive categories with 12 goals, 17 assists and 29 points in 79 games.
He also appeared in 13 playoff games for the Jets during their run to the Western Conference Finals, chipping in with a pair of goals.

Video- Steve Mason Suffered A Hand Injury In Loss To The Sharks
from Sam Carchidi of Philly.com,
They lost a game and a goalie on Friday night at the SAP Center, dropping a 2-0 decision to the physical San Jose Sharks.
Goalie Steve Mason injured his left hand in a first-period collision with Joe Thornton and was replaced by Anthony Stolarz to start the second period. Mason kept the Flyers in the game during a San Jose-dominated opening period, stopping 11 of 12 shots.
General manager Ron Hextall said Mason was "nicked up and we'll know more" on Saturday.
The Flyers, who have lost five of six since their 10-game winning streak ended, play in Anaheim on Sunday.

Video- Steve Mason Not A Happy Goalie After 2-1 Loss By Philadelphia To Dallas
from Sam Carchidi of the Philadelphia Inquirer,
As the horn sounded to end the Flyers' 2-1 loss to Dallas, winger Jake Voracek smashed his stick against the boards and heaved what was left of it down the Wells Fargo Center ice Tuesday night.
A few minutes later, goalie Steve Mason did some heaving of his own, throwing verbal jabs at his teammates for their mostly lifeless effort over the final 50 minutes.
"There was no desperation," said Mason, who kept the Flyers in the game with a brilliant 37-save performance. "It's tough to come in the room after games like that. We need to have a much better effort, and it just wasn't there. I'm embarrassed and I hope everyone else is embarrassed, too, because to play like that at home in a situation where we have to come up big . . . and we come up like that."
Below, watch Steve Mason post-game...
Steve Mason Out 2-3 Weeks
via the Philadelphia Flyers,
Following the team’s morning skate in Montreal, Flyers GM Ron Hextall announced that goaltender Steve Mason will be out for approximately 2-3 weeks with a lower-body injury.
Mason left the Flyers-Capitals game at Washington midway through the second period and did not return. He has missed a total of 10 games this season, both with separate lower-body injuries and all within a span of 52 days (Dec. 19-27 & Jan. 10-27). Overall, Mason has a 11-12-7 record with a 2.30 GAA and .925 save percentage.
With an injury to Phantoms goaltender Rob Zepp, the club recalled rookie Anthony Stolarz from their AHL affiliate in Lehigh Valley yesterday, who will serve as back up for Ray Emery tonight vs. Canadiens at the Bell Centre.
Emery owns a 9-9-1 record with a 3.34 goals-against average and .886 save percentage this season.

Video- Steve Mason Out With Lower-Body Injury
Flyers GM Ron Hextall announced to the media following the second period of the Flyers-Capitals game that goaltender Steve Mason has a lower-body injury and will not return to the game.
Mason left the ice with 8:42 left in the second period during the broadcast timeout before a Capitals power play. Prior to exiting the game, he stopped all eight shots he faced.
Why Was Steve Mason Playing?
from Frank Seravalli of the Philadelphia Daily News,
For a man who swore he'd stick to the long-term vision that got him hired, Ron Hextall last week showed the same shortsightedness that has kept the Flyers coming up empty since 1975.
Under no circumstances should Steve Mason have been in net on Thursday night, let alone Saturday.
Alas, the allure of a last-gasp, miracle run to the Stanley Cup playoffs got the best of Hextall.
Now, the Flyers are lucky Mason - one of just three pieces Hextall should be hellbent on building the future around - will miss only the next 2 weeks with a "lower-body" injury.
Video- Steve Mason Leaves Game With Lower-Body Injury
Mason has been bothered with a lower-body injury lately and today it looks like he may have tweaked it again.
The Flyers say he will be reevaluated on Sunday.

Steve Mason skated today while recovering from an injury which he thought was very serious at the time.
What Happened To Steve Mason?
from Fran Seravalli of the Philadelphia Daily News,
According to general manager Ron Hextall, Mason is ruled out for at least this weekend's games in Toronto and Winnipeg with an "upper-body" injury, but the team would not commit to any timeline after that.
That doesn't necessarily mean Mason will miss only this weekend. Hextall said the team will provide an update on Monday and would not comment further.
The scene yesterday was ominous. With the help of the training staff, Mason was flipped over to his back - where he stayed for a period of time - before sitting up and finally making it to his feet. He was then helped off the ice, unable to skate off under his own power....
R.J. Umberger said Mason's injury "looked like" a back issue, noting Mason "grabbed something behind him" when he "reached for a puck" to make a save.
Luke Schenn saw Mason go down and had his own theory.
"It looked like he was going into a spasm or whatever it was," Schenn said. "I'm not even sure. You never know if it's dehydration or anything like that.
update 12:06pm, via Tim Panaccio of CSNPhilly,
“He sees the specialist on Monday and we’ll find out more,” Hextall said. “I talked to him and the doctor does not have a hands-on [feeling] for Mase yet. He’s talked to [trainer] Jimmy [McCrossin].
“I’m optimistic is won’t be long. Until you get the information you don’t know for sure. I don’t anticipate it being a long time but it could change.”
Steve Mason Needed Help Off The Ice At Practice Today
via Frank Seravalli of the Philadelphia Daily News,
A routine Flyers practice trickled to a halt on Friday afternoon when goaltender Steve Mason went down with an apparently significant injury.
About 30 minutes after the team entered the ice, the net was immediately moved out the way as concerned teammates and coaches huddled around Mason.
It was not apparent what caused the injury or exactly what was ailing Mason.
He originally laid flat on his back in the crease. Eventually, he sat up with the help of trainer Jim McCrossin, before being helped off the ice.
Craib Berube was just on TSN Radio and said no idea what happened nor what the problem is at this point.
Flyers GM Ron Hextall updated the media following the team’s flight to Toronto on the status of goaltender Steve Mason, who left practice with an injury.
“Steve Mason has an upper-body injury and is out for the weekend. We will have an update on Monday.”
The Flyers play back-to-back games over the weekend, taking on the Toronto Maple Leafs at the Air Canada Centre on Saturday before traveling to Winnipeg to take on the Jets on Sunday night.
Mason stopped 31 of 32 shots and four of six players in the shootout to take a 2-1 loss in the Flyers-Panthers game on Thursday.
He has started three straight and 11 of the Flyers’ last 13 games while posting an overall record of 6-10-5 to go along with a 2.49 goals-against average and .921 save percentage in 22 appearances this year.
Sergei Bobrovsky And Steve Mason Not Only Changed Teams, But Style Too
from Kevin Woodley at NHL.com,
It could not have been easy for Philadelphia Flyers fans to see goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky hoist the 2013 Vezina Trophy one year after being traded to the Columbus Blue Jackets. There was no need, however, to rekindle any angst when Bobrovsky was named NHL Second Star of the Week heading into a game against the Flyers on Tuesday.
Bobrovsky would be the first to remind fans still upset by his departure that the goalie Philadelphia traded is not the same one now stopping pucks and winning awards in Columbus. He has made significant technical and tactical adjustments since leaving.
"I would say it's two different goalies right now comparing me in Philly and right now in Columbus," Bobrovsky told NHL.com. "I changed my style a lot. Mentally, physically, technically, all those things have changed here."
If that story sounds familiar to Philadelphia fans, it's because the Flyers' current goalie, Steve Mason, has undergone a similar transformation since arriving from Columbus in April 2013.
Like Bobrovksy, Mason has benefitted from tactical changes since joining a new team. In addition to easing the pain of losing Bobrovsky, Mason's resurgence in Philadelphia is another reminder that one style does not fit all when it comes to NHL goaltending.

Morning Line- Steve Mason
"I think we’re all tired of moral victories. The team played a good game, but if you don’t win, it’s not good enough. Everybody’s frustrated. Everybody’s ticked off."
-Steve Mason, goaltender for the Philadelphia Flyers after a 2-1 loss to the San Jose Sharks. More on the game from Sam Carchidi of the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Here is the late goal by San Jose whiched gave the Sharks a 2-1 lead with 11 seconds left in the 3rd period.
Morning Line- Craig Berube On Steve Mason
“He’s gotta go out and play his game. Don’t try and do too much, just play your game. Just be you. Move the puck when you get it. Get out and play the puck and move it. That’s what gets him in the game. And make the saves you’re supposed to make.”
-Craig Berube, head coach of the Philadelphia Flyers on goaltender Steve Mason who has yet to win a game this season. More on Mason from Tim Panaccio of CSNPhilly.

Steve Mason Recently Broke A Pinky Finger
Flyers general manager Ron Hextall gave the following injury update on goaltender Steve Mason
"Steve Mason broke his right pinky finger playing hockey in Oakville, Ontario on Sunday, July 27. Mason will miss approximately two (2) weeks of on-ice training but will continue with his off-ice training."
Steve Mason May Play Game 2 For The Flyers
from Tim Panaccio of CSNPhilly,
Mason went through a practice at Chelsea Piers and said he felt good and wasn’t hampered in any kind of movement on the ice.
He last practiced Tuesday and will have a full practice with teammates Saturday.
“I felt pretty good for being on the ice for the first time in a couple days,” Mason said. “It was a good step. I felt great movement wise.”
Can you play in Game 2?
“We still have a couple days before Sunday rolls around, so that’s definitely my goal,” Mason said.
Mason said Flyers management would have to decide on his status. Coach Craig Berube said he’ll make a decision after speaking with all parties later today and what he sees off Saturday’s practice.
Looks Like Steve Mason Will Be Staying In Philadelphia
Hearing that goalie Steve Mason has signed an extension with the Flyers. No other details at this point.
— Pierre LeBrun (@Real_ESPNLeBrun) January 18, 2014
More information will be posted when available.
added 12:47pm, via the CP at TSN,
The Philadelphia Flyerss signed goaltender Steve Mason to a three-year, $12.3 million contract extension on Saturday.
Mason is in his first full season with the Flyers after coming over from the Columbus Blue Jackets, where he spent the first four-plus seasons in the NHL, at last year's trade deadline. Mason won the 2009 Calder Trophy with the Blue Jackets.
The Comeback Of Steve Mason
from Craig Custance of ESPN The Magazine,
It wasn't until around 3 a.m. on Thanksgiving, when the Flyers arrived home from a Florida trip in which the they were swept by the Lightning and Panthers. The team was given the holiday off by coach Craig Berube and if there was a player who deserved a day to kick back, watch some football and relax, it was Steve Mason.
November was a good month for the Flyers goaltender. He finished it with a 6-2-2 record, 1.94 goals-against average and, most, impressively a .938 save percentage. You have to go back to December 2008 to find a month in which he started at least 10 games and had a save percentage that high. That was his breakout rookie season in Columbus, the year that, in retrospect, might have not have been the best way for a 20-year-old goalie to break into the NHL.
At 10 a.m. on Thanksgiving, Mason passed on the day off and was on the ice in Philadelphia with a few shooters, getting ready for a game the following day that came with an 11:30 a.m. start. And he was nearly perfect against the Jets that following day, stopping 25 of 26 shots to squash a losing streak before it could get started.
Those who know him well questioned if Mason would have been willing to put in that work a few years prior with his ego still inflated from one of the most impressive rookie seasons any goalie has completed in recent memory. Later in his tenure in Columbus, when overconfidence wasn't an issue, the loss of trust and confidence between him and his former team made it hard to dig deep and put in extra effort. Those excuses are gone. Still just 25 years old, Mason is learning an important lesson with his second organization -- talent alone won't cut it.
Morning Line
“When you hit rock bottom and work your way back up, it makes you appreciate what you have. I’ve gone through so much to get to here and worked so hard to get to this point. You don’t want to waste your second chance.”
-Steve Mason of the Philadelphia Flyers. Much more from Nicholas J. Cotsonika of Yahoo.

It’s Playoffs Or Bust For Steve Mason
from Luke Fox of Sportsnet,
Judging by his gleaming-white smile, Steve Mason is the happiest guy in the room.
The goaltender is still weeks away from training camp, yet he’s already describing the NHL offseason — one of the shortest ever, with the lockout pushing the Stanley Cup final to the end of June and the 2014 Winter Games spurring an Oct. 1 start to 2013-14 — as long. With the Philadelphia Flyers missing the postseason cut and the number of Mason’s starts decreasing in each of his five pro campaigns, the 25-year-old is well rested. Some downtime in Punta Cana this summer has only added to the relaxation.
“Now it’s strictly business. Vacation time is over,” says Mason, who went 4-2-0 with a head-turning 1.90 GAA and .944 save percentage in Philly. “Finishing on a strong note was nice, but it also left a sour taste in my mouth.”
Is Steve Mason the Answer In Philadelphia?
from Dave Isaac of the Courier-Post,
“Even the games we lost, he played well,” Holmgren said. “Ideally, I’d like to get a guy that will work in tandem with him, with the bulk (of the work) going to Steve, but we’ll see how that goes.”
Holmgren said he has “a lot of ideas” of whom he’ll target and how he’ll target them, but didn’t elaborate. The only specific player he spoke of is Vancouver’s Roberto Luongo, another buyout candidate, but Holmgren said the 34-year-old is “probably not an option.”
Mason came to Philadelphia dreaming of being a No. 1 goalie again and it appears as though his wish came true.
“Since my time started in Philadelphia, I feel confident with my game again,” Mason told the Courier-Post via phone Tuesday. “Going into this offseason, I was preparing myself to come into camp, regardless of who the other goaltender is, to come in and be able to play a lot of games and be the consistent presence that the team needs back there.”
Steve Mason Signs 1-Year Extension With Philadelpia

The Columbus Goaltending Situation
from Aaron Portzline of Puck-Rakers at the Columbus Dispatch,
The Blue Jackets could trade Mason, but it won’t be easy to find a taker for his $3.2 million salary next season. They could put Mason on waivers and hope he gets claimed by another club. Or, if he clears waivers, the Jackets could send him to the minor leagues. The Blue Jackets could buy out the remaining year on his contract, too, allowing the two sides to part ways and Mason to become an unrestricted free agent. Or the Blue Jackets could keep him on the roster as a back-up goaltender.
The only option that’s not an option, Howson has said, is maintaining the status quo in nets.
“We need a different look in goal,” Howson said. “We need better play from that position. I told Steve in our exit interviews (earlier this month) that we’re going to have a different look at that position next year, but that right now, nobody can predict what form that’s going to take.”

The Case for Number One in Goal
by Ian Gooding on 08/22/11 at 10:00 AM ET
Determining a first overall pick in this year’s fantasy hockey drafts is anything but easy, but we probably know this much: the first overall pick won’t be a goalie. Yet a goalie is an important investment to fantasy hockey teams, since only two goalies can be responsible for four out of a team’s ten stat categories in many fantasy hockey leagues. The need for solid goaltending explains why many starting goalies can fly off the board early in fantasy hockey drafts.

What To Do With Steve Mason?
from Tom Reed of the Columbus Dispatch,
Drawing on the history of great goaltenders who required taking a step back, Darren Pang believes the Blue Jackets should send Steve Mason to the minors to regain his confidence.
Drawing on nearly 40 years of NHL experience as a goalie and broadcaster, Glenn “Chico” Resch thinks Mason would benefit from a fresh set of eyes analyzing his game.
Drawing on a 1980s movie analogy, Daryl Reaugh says the Jackets need to keep putting Mason in the danger zone until his talents propel him.
“It’s like Maverick in Top Gun, you keep sending him back up until he breaks through.” said Reaugh, an analyst for Versus and the Dallas Stars. “This kid is way too good to be struggling like he is.”
While four former NHL goalies and current television analysts offered different takes on Mason, they all agreed that Mathieu Garon is capable of carrying the Blue Jackets as they try to get their 22-year-old franchise goalie untracked.
Not What You Need From Your Franchise Goalie
from Aaron Portzline of Puck-Rakers,
In the wake of a 6-3 loss to the Edmonton Oilers in Rexall Place, Arniel must surely hope that this is rock bottom for goaltender Steve Mason, who was pulled for the third time in four games, but not before the loss to the Oilers was out of hand.
“(Mason) is in his own head right now,” Arniel said. “He’s probably his own worst enemy. But we’re going to stick with him and do everything we can to help him. Obviously, he has to be a big part of our hockey club.”
Arniel said he had a conversation with Mason during the first intermission, in which he told Mason that he was putting him back out for the second period, giving him a chance to work his way out of his struggles.
It was a crossroads moment in the game. The Blue Jackets dominated the first period, outshooting the Oilers 23-13 but trailing 3-2, and Arniel noted afterward that “I had more to say than him.”
Mason, who did not speak with reporters post-game, could not get it back together in the second period. By the end of the second, it was 6-2 Oilers and Mason was lunging at pucks, overplaying angles and not looking anymore comfortable.
Today’s three cheers for last night’s top performers in NHL action:
***Cheers to Chicago’s Marty Turco, who made 36 saves and held the fort for the ‘Hawks in the shootout for a 2-1 decision over the Vancouver Canucks. Turco only had to make one save in the breakaway tiebreaker, on Mikael Samuelsson, but Roberto Luongo stopped none at the other end and the Blackhawks earned the extra point in turn. Luongo was good during the actual game, making 31 saves of his own and earning third star honors, but what’s going on with his early season numbers? A 3.38 goals-against and an .888 save percentage isn’t exactly the Bobby Lu Canucks fans expect, nor is the 2-3-2 mark for their club. Surely, it’s only a matter of time before he (and the team) turns it around. (Right?)

Report- Steve Mason Agrees To Extension With Columbus
via Bob McKenzie tweet,
Sources say CBJ netminder Steve Mason has agreed to terms on a two-year contract extension, $2.6M and $3.2M for an AAV of $2.9M.
added 2:32pm, via Aaron Portzline tweet,
#CBJ confirm two-year contract extension w G Steve Mason. $2.6M in 2011-12, $3.2M in 2012-13. Will be announced by club later today.
added 3:42pm, from a Columbus Blue Jackets release,
“Steve Mason is a young goaltender with great size and athleticism and we are very pleased that we were able to agree on this contract extension,” said Howson. “He is an important member of our team and we’re excited that he will continue to be a significant contributor to our hockey club in the future.”
Is Steve Mason A $3M Goalie?
via Bob Hunter of the Columbus Dispatch,
Goaltender Steve Mason and forward Jake Voracek are entering the last year of their entry-level deals, which means that since July 1, the Blue Jackets have been able to sign them to extensions. But general manager Scott Howson isn’t talking about the matter.
It doesn’t matter. The Blue Jackets believe that Mason is going to be a franchise goaltender, so his sophomore slump works to the club’s advantage. If Mason had followed the 2008-09 season, when he won the Calder Trophy as the NHL’s top rookie, with another big year, he might have been looking at $6 million per season. Now, it’s probably half that.
The team’s personnel people think that Voracek will ultimately be a point-a-game guy, so they will try to lock him up long term before he becomes that. The question is whether Voracek will opt for a little more security or take a chance that a big year is coming up. The argument in favor of Voracek waiting is that he could end up on the first line with Rick Nash and Antoine Vermette, which could inflate his totals.
It’s easy to see why Howson wouldn’t want to discuss this in public.
“I don’t think of this as a step back. I made one mistake. You guys (in the media) can jump all over that if you want. I played well the rest of the way, so …”
-Columbus goaltender Steve Mason (via Aaron Portzline of Puck-rakers) on the Eric Belanger goal he gave up last night, which could be considered a weak goal.
What’s Wrong With Steve Mason?
from Aaron Portzline of the Columbus Dispatch,
The Dispatch asked two former NHL goaltenders, Daryl Reaugh and Ron Tugnutt, for their views on Mason’s season, the changes he needs to make and what his future might hold.
Reaugh, who played from 1984 to ‘91 with Hartford and Edmonton, does color commentary for the Dallas Stars. Tugnutt was active from 1987 to 2004 for a variety of clubs, including the Blue Jackets in their early years. He coaches goaltenders for a junior team in Oshawa, Ontario.
Daryl Reaugh
• What he sees: “Last season, he would get to his spot, stand there and defy guys to beat him. Now, rather than going to the spot he believes in and challenging the shooter, he’s going to that spot and he’s leaving that spot for no apparent reason. And when you chase the puck, you beat yourself. It’s a function of not trusting the defensive play in front of you. You’re worried about the shooter, but also the other guy whose lane might not be covered by your d-man.”
Morning Line- Part 2
“Seeing the fans giving me the cheers when you’re stopping the easy long shot . . . it’s not a great feeling to get that from the home fans. At the same time, they paid their money and they have their rights . . .”

Steve Mason Still Has Goals To Achieve
from Ryan Pyette of the Toronto Sun,
Five goalies are invited to joust for the Vancouver trip. Three get the call.
The favourites—New Jersey’s Martin Brodeur and Vancouver’s Roberto Luongo—have reached crease superhero status. It’s difficult to imagine a Team Canada without them.
Mason is the youngest and, at 6-foot-4, 205 pounds, the biggest. He’ll battle a couple of Stanley Cup winners—Carolina’s Cam Ward and Pittsburgh’s Marc-Andre Fleury—for the No. 3 spot.
“I’ve played for Canada internationally before (MVP and gold medal at the 2008 world juniors) but this is a whole different level with all the star players in the NHL,” Mason, 21, said. “I idolized Martin Brodeur as a kid and I’ve played against Roberto Luongo, who I really respect.
“It would be unbelievable to get the chance to be part of it. I think the Olympics first hit home for me in 2002 when Canada won it.
“I was (13 years old) and I was at my best friend’s house (in Oakville) and we went out after the gold medal game and played road hockey.”
Mason Does Las Vegas
from Steve Mason of the Columbus Blue Jackets,
Hello everyone. I just spent my first afternoon in Vegas and the one thing I got out of it was blisters. We went down to the strip and walked EVERYWHERE. I can’t remember the last time I walked that much. We checked out a few of the other hotel-casinos. Caesar’s Palace and the Bellagio were two of them. I gambled a lit bit – slot machines – for fun, but mostly we just took it all in.
There are a ton of shopping places here. We went to Forum Shops at Caesar’s Palace and there was an Elvis impersonator actually singing in one of the stores. That was pretty cool… sort of creepy, but cool. There was another place across the street from Bellagio that had a ton of stores, too.

Two Goalies In The Calder Race
from Dan Pollard of TSN,
Nashville’s Pekka Rinne is giving the Blue Jackets’ Steve Mason a run for top rookie honours. Both have helped put their teams in a position to make the playoffs this year. For Columbus it would be the franchises maiden voyage into the post-season.
There’s not much to choose from when comparing the goaltenders numbers wise.
Other than shutouts, Rinne’s numbers are better or almost identical to Masons.
That being said, when forced to make a choice my support leans to Mason.

The Blue Jackets Strength Starts In Goal
from Rob Oller of the Columbus Dispatch,
Hitchcock, like Holland, would begin his ideal team with a goaltender. In Dallas, he saw the before/after effect of Ed Balfour, whose work in net helped the Stars win the 1998-99 Stanley Cup.
“You don’t realize how important a goalie is until you have one,” he said. Which is why the Blue Jackets are so better positioned for a deep run into the playoffs, once they finally get there, than many teams.
Would Mason, who appears fully recovered from mononucleosis that kept him out of the previous three games, be able to hold up under playoff pressure? Impossible to know for sure, but the best goaltenders—the ones left standing, as Hitchcock likes to say—are the most competitive ones. And Mason burns with a bristly passion to win.
“There couldn’t have been a better team to come back against,” he said.
Steve Mason On IR
COLUMBUS, OHIO – The Columbus Blue Jackets have placed rookie goaltender Steve Mason on injured reserve retroactive to February 4, club General Manager Scott Howson announced today. Mason was diagnosed with mononucleosis on January 29.
Mason, 20, has posted a 19-12-2 record with a 2.09 goals-against average, .923 save percentage and seven shutouts in 34 games with the Blue Jackets this season. He leads the NHL in shutouts, while ranking second in goals-against average, seventh in save percentage and is tied for 10th in wins.
Steve Mason Has Been Playing With Mononucleosis
General manager Scott Howson confirmed late last night to The Dispatch that Mason has been suffering from mononucleosis for three to four weeks.
The rookie-of-the-year candidate made his 18th consecutive start last night but allowed three goals in the first 11 minutes of a 7-3 loss to the Dallas Stars and was pulled for the first time in his NHL career.
Howson said doctors did not diagnose Mason’s infection until Thursday, and he defended the team’s decision to play him in back-to-back starts this weekend.
“Our doctors feel he’s had it for a while and they feel he’s on the other side of the virus,” Howson said. “The worst of it is probably over.”
Mason’s spleen is not enlarged, one of the complications sometimes associated with mono, Howson said.
Mason Looking At Major Awards
from Brian Costello of the Hockey News,
Forget all that stuff you’ve heard lately about Columbus rookie Steve Mason being a late-entry candidate for the Calder Trophy. If he keeps playing even close to the way he has through 24 games, he’ll win the Vezina as the NHL’s top goalie and the Hart as the league’s most valuable player.
No player in the history of the league has won those three awards in the same season, so we truly are seeing a phenomenal story in the making.
Consider the undisputable facts. Mason spent the first month of the season in the American League as Pascal Leclaire and Fredrik Norrena patrolled the crease for the Blue Jackets. It wasn’t until Nov. 5 the 20-year-old Mason got his first start of the season. He started off with three straight wins and six of nine.
Then Mason got hot.
Another Blue Jacket May Be Hurt
via Aaron Portzline of Puck-rakers,
Just spoke with GM Scott Howson in the lobby restaurant of the Blue Jackets team hotel. Goaltender Steve Mason is questionable for tonight’s game vs. Washington with upper body “tightness.”
update 7:10pm, Mason is in the lineup.
Rookie Of The Month
NEW YORK (Jan. 2, 2009)—Columbus Blue Jackets goaltender Steve Mason, who posted a 7-5-0 record with a 1.41 goals-against average, .950 save percentage and three shutouts in 12 games, has been named the NHL Rookie of the Month for December. It marks the second consecutive month that Mason has earned top rookie honors and the third consecutive month a Blue Jackets player has done so, following Derick Brassard in October.
Mason edged St. Louis Blues center Patrik Berglund (6-7—13 in 15 games), Anaheim Ducks right wing Bobby Ryan (4-8—12 in 13 games), Boston Bruins left wing Blake Wheeler (5-6—11 in 13 games), Florida Panthers center Michael Frolik (4-7—11 in 14 games) and Chicago Blackhawks right wing Kris Versteeg (3-6—9 in 11 games) for the award.
Steve Mason With Another Shutout
Less than an hour before 2008 turned to 2009 in the Eastern time zone, Blue Jackets goaltender Steve Mason played his way into the club’s record books during a 2-0 win over the Anaheim Ducks in the Honda Center.
Mason made 27 saves for his third straight shutout, giving him 181 minutes, 59 seconds—and counting—without allowing a goal.
“I’ve never even had two shutouts in a row (before this),” Mason said. “It was a tight game. Very tight. The guys played great in front of me. I didn’t really have to make too many really good saves. It was a pretty routine game.”

Mason In The Calder Race
from Eric Duhatschek of the Globe and Mail,
No, Stamkos and Kyle Turris, the other pre-season Calder Trophy favorite, are not in the mix as the NHL passed the one-third mark of the season in mid-December – and you could make a case that the leader at this stage of the season is a player who wasn’t even in the NHL on opening night.
That would be Columbus Blue Jackets’ goaltender Steve Mason, the London Knights’ grad, who continued his exceptional early-season run this past week, by out-and-out stealing a 2-1 overtime victory from the Sharks. Mason stopped 47 shots in the victory – third-most in franchise history – and allowed just a single goal to the highest-scoring team in the NHL.

Two Rookies On The Radar
from Jeff Hale of Slap Shot at the NYT,
Hands up out there if you had Kris Versteeg of the Chicago Blackhawks as your candidate for the Calder Trophy this season.
Versteeg, 22, leads N.H.L. rookies in points (22), assists (15) and plus-minus (+13). Versteeg’s route to prominence was a long one. He has escaped major notice because he was drafted four years ago in the fifth round by Boston, who dealt him to Chicago for Brandon Bochenski in February 2007. The Bruins would probably love to redo that deal.
It’s possible that Versteeg’s main challenger could be just as unexpected. Steve Mason, 20, the goalie for the Columbus Blue Jackets, is 6-3-1 with a .917 save percentage and a 2.18 goals-against average. He also has two shutouts.

My dissertation research focuses on answering questions regarding the behavioral responses of spotted salamander larvae (''Ambystoma maculatum'') to chemical cues from one of its natural predators, the red-spotted newt, ''Notophthalmus viridescens''. First, I will determine (1) if prey behavior differs in response to local predator chemical cues versus cues from a series of geographically stratified populations of the same predator species and (2) whether larvae can distinguish among predator chemical cues when predator origin is held constant and origin of predator diet (spotted salamander larvae) is varied. I also will (3) take a closer look at the identity of the red-spotted newt chemical cue, with the prediction that it will be the endogenous toxin tetrodotoxin (TTX) or a TTX analogue. Other newt species are known to use TTX as an intraspecific signal of cannibalistic predation risk, and though TTX is found in the red-spotted newt, it has not been tested as a chemical signal. Finally, I plan to (4) separate the effects of environment from genetics in red-spotted newts by performing a predator transplant experiment, in which predators will be raised in environments other than their natal environment, and effects on cue production tested with spotted salamander behavioral experiments. This research will examine whether prey can evolve to recognize the specific chemical cues released by the local predator population, which, if it conveyed higher relative fitness in the prey animal’s local environment, would be evidence for local adaptation. This work will add to an understanding of the evolution of predator-prey interactions in an aquatic environment. <br/>

A bold new legal defense for Trump: Presidents cannot obstruct justice – The Washington Post
https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/a-bold-new-legal-defense-for-trump-presidents-cannot-obstruct-justice/2017/12/04/b95cb262-d91c-11e7-a841-2066faf731ef_story.html?utm_term=.f7f2c89655b7
The brazen assertion Monday by one of President Trump’s lawyers that a president cannot be found guilty of obstruction of justice signaled a controversial defense strategy in the wide-ranging Russia probe, as Trump’s political advisers are increasingly concerned about the legal advice he is receiving.
Trump tweeted over the weekend that he knew then-national security adviser Michael Flynn lied to the FBI about his contacts with the Russian ambassador before firing him in February — and before FBI Director James B. Comey said Trump asked him to be lenient while investigating Flynn. Experts said the president’s admission increased his legal exposure to obstruction-of-justice charges, one of the core crimes under investigation by special counsel Robert S. Mueller III.
But Trump’s personal lawyer John Dowd sought to excuse the president’s tweet in part by telling Axios and NBC News on Monday that the “president cannot obstruct justice because he is the chief law enforcement officer under [the Constitution’s Article II] and has every right to express his view of any case.”
Dowd declined to elaborate on his theory or explain the emerging legal strategy to The Washington Post.
Inside the White House, some senior officials were baffled that Dowd publicly offered this interpretation of the law, which has been advanced since the summer by constitutional scholar Alan Dershowitz in defense of Trump but flatly dismissed by many other legal scholars.

Ty Cobb, a White House lawyer overseeing its handling of the Russia investigation, said Monday that the Dershowitz-Dowd theory was not the president’s official legal strategy.
“It’s interesting as a technical legal issue, but the president’s lawyers intend to present a fact-based defense, not a mere legal defense,” Cobb said in an interview with The Post. “That should resolve things, but we all shall see.”
Asked whether Trump agrees that a president cannot obstruct justice, Cobb replied, “I never talk about what the president’s beliefs are or discuss communications between the president and his lawyers.”
[Trump lawyer says president knew Flynn had given FBI the same account he gave to vice president]
Many Washington lawyers and legal scholars disputed Dowd’s interpretation, citing several court cases and articles of impeachment — as well as, in the words of one expert, “common sense.”
“We have a president, not a king,” said Sam Berger, senior policy adviser at the Center for American Progress, a liberal think tank. “No one is above the law, whether it be Trump or any of his close associates. It’s the sort of desperate claim that makes you wonder, ‘What exactly are they hiding?’”
Berger argued that Dowd’s reasoning amounts to a “Hail Mary pass” for the president to escape responsibility. “This response, ‘If it’s the president, it’s not a crime,’ has never flown with the American people or our legal system in any context,” he said. “Claiming that the president can’t obstruct justice flies in the face of both common sense and past precedent.”

Some legal scholars, however, support Dowd’s claim. Dershowitz, a Harvard Law School professor, said Monday on Fox News Channel that Trump was within his rights when he fired Comey.
“You cannot charge a president with obstruction of justice for exercising his constitutional power to fire Comey and his constitutional authority to tell the Justice Department who to investigate, who not to investigate,” Dershowitz said. “That’s what Thomas Jefferson did, that’s what Lincoln did, that’s what Roosevelt did. We have precedents that clearly establish that.”
Dershowitz was appearing on “Fox & Friends,” a pro-Trump morning show that the president regularly watches. After his appearance, Trump tweeted, “A must watch: Legal Scholar Alan Dershowitz was just on @foxandfriends talking of what is going on with respect to the greatest Witch Hunt in U.S. political history.”
Dershowitz wrote a column in June for The Washington Examiner in which he argued that Trump’s efforts to stop the FBI probe could not be considered obstruction because he was constitutionally empowered as president to direct the attorney general and the FBI director and tell them whom to prosecute.
Furthermore, he wrote, “the president has the constitutional authority to stop the investigation of any person by simply pardoning that person.”
Within Trump’s political orbit, concerns have grown in recent weeks about Trump’s legal strategy, crafted by Cobb and Dowd, as well as attorney Jay Sekulow, who at key moments has served as the public face of the defense team.
Cobb and Dowd have urged Trump to cooperate fully with Mueller’s investigation, providing documents when asked by the special counsel and encouraging White House staffers to comply with requests for interviews.
The two men have sought to assure White House advisers that Trump is not vulnerable to obstruction-of-justice charges. “They think everything is clean there,” said one senior administration official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to be candid.
Cobb and Dowd also have been privately assuring the president that the Mueller probe was likely to reach its conclusion by the end of this year, complete with a public exoneration of Trump of any wrongdoing. That timeline seems overly optimistic to some legal experts, considering Mueller last week charged Flynn with lying to the FBI and secured his cooperation in the investigation.
In Monday’s interview, Cobb said he still believes Mueller’s investigation of Trump will reach “an appropriate result” by Christmas or early January.
[Inside the secretive nerve center of the Mueller investigation]
But some Trump advisers and outside allies — including former White House chief strategist Stephen K. Bannon — have been grumbling for weeks that the president’s legal strategy is too compliant with Mueller and not combative enough.
One Republican strategist in frequent contact with senior White House officials said there had been “consternation” among Trump’s political advisers in recent days.
“The concern is that every time the president feels a little bit of pain from what Mueller’s doing, [his lawyers] give him OxyContin and tell him he’ll be fine by the morning,” this strategist said metaphorically, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive matter. “Rather than being aggressive lawyers defending the president’s prerogative, they’re bending over backwards on the theory that Mueller is fair and it’ll all be over soon.”
These concerns grew over the past 48 hours as Dowd sought to explain the president’s tweet about firing Flynn in a succession of media interviews, which had some Trump loyalists grimacing.
Asked to respond to criticisms of the legal team, Cobb said, “There’s no question that Bannon is doing the president a great disservice by agitating persistently on this issue. Internally, where people are actually informed, there’s no consternation about the decision to cooperate fully with the special counsel, and Mr. Bannon has yet to identify what fights he would pick and how constructive that would be.”
Going forward, Cobb said, “I’m not going to litigate every isolated fact that people may testify about or may ask about in the press because that’s not fair to the process or to the special counsel or to the witnesses.”
The Brookings Institution in October published a 108-page study titled “Presidential Obstruction of Justice: The Case of Donald J. Trump.” The authors reviewed the articles of impeachment against presidents Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton, and those drafted against judges Harry Claiborne in 1986 and Samuel Kent in 2009. They concluded that “obstruction, conspiracy, and conviction of a federal crime have previously been considered by Congress to be valid reasons to remove a duly elected president from office.”
Military, defense and security at home and abroad.
Co-author Norm Eisen, former special assistant for ethics and government reform in the Obama administration and a senior fellow in governance studies at Brookings, said, “There’s a long line of cases holding that when a government official exercises an otherwise legal authority with corrupt intent, they can be prosecuted for obstruction. It flows from the notion that no person is above the law.”
In 1999, Attorney General Jeff Sessions, then a senator from Alabama, argued that Clinton should be removed from office for obstructing justice in the investigation into his relationship with White House intern Monica Lewinsky.
“The facts are disturbing and compelling on the president’s intent to obstruct justice,” Sessions said at the time.
Josh Dawsey contributed to this report.

Biden to attend Kennedy Center Honors, resuming tradition
President Joe Biden will be in the house for the Kennedy Center Honors on Sunday
President Joe Biden will be in the house for the Kennedy Center Honors on Sunday.
Biden and first lady Jill Biden plan to take their seats in the presidential box in the performing arts center’s Opera House for a star-studded celebration of five artists: Motown Records creator Berry Gordy, “Saturday Night Live” mastermind Lorne Michaels, actress-singer Bette Midler, opera singer Justino Diaz and folk music legend Joni Mitchell.
The Democrat will be the first president to attend the Kennedy Center Honors since 2016. The first lady’s spokesperson, Michael LaRosa, confirmed the Bidens would be attending.
President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump skipped the show the first three years he was in office after several of the artists who were honored in 2017, his first year, threatened to boycott a White House reception if the Republican participated.
The 2020 ceremony was postponed because of the COVID-19 pandemic, and held earlier this year.

The Trumps also scrapped a traditional White House ceremony for the honorees, which Biden is resuming as well on Sunday. Presidents traditionally host a lighthearted gathering with the honorees at the White House before the awards ceremony.
Trump long had a contentious relationship with the arts world.
The 44th Kennedy Center Honors program is returning in-person to the Opera House this year, with all attendees required to be tested in advance for COVID-19.
Last year, the pandemic forced organizers to bump the annual December ceremony back to May 2021. Performance tributes to the artists were filmed over several nights and at multiple locations on campus.
This year’s main COVID-related modification has shifted the annual Saturday ceremony, where honorees receive their medallions on rainbow-colored ribbons, to the Library of Congress instead of the State Department.
The Kennedy Center itself recently reopened after being closed because of the pandemic.

Sunday’s ceremony, which will be broadcast Dec. 22 by CBS, is the centerpiece of the Kennedy Center’s 50th anniversary of cultural programming. The center opened in 1971.
Presidents usually attend the honors program, first held in 1978.

The word ‘Sikh’ means a disciple. So Sikhism is essentially the path of discipleship. The true sikh remains unattached to worldly things just as the lotus keeps its blossom over and above the surface of water. The Sikh must do his duty to his family and to the community. The main thing is leading a pure and moral life, full of noble deeds and kind words. A Sikh does not regard fasting, austerities, pilgrimages, alms-giving and penance as important things.
Bhagti: Those who know the importance of Bhagti feel like Guru Nanak Sahib that forgetting God is just like death and brooding upon His Name is life and joy. Without the nectar of God’s name, the pilgrim dies his misery. But Bhagti is possible after certain conditions are fulfilled:
i) Faith in God.
ii) Following Truth.
iii) Unattachment and desirelessness.
iv) Control over thought, word and deed.
v) Association with holy men(Satsang)
vi) Humanity and submission to Hukam.
Salvation/Mukti: The Guru says, “The man of God rejects salvation. He wants only love of God and nothing else. The joys of heaven are nothing as compared to the merging in the Divine Spirit. The ultimate goal of man is union with God. Man does not become God, only the spark merges in the fire. This is called self-identification.” A man may have done many noble deeds but if he has not undertaken meditation on God, he cannot have any hope of Mukti. Guru Nanak Sahib says in Asa-di-Var: “That is true knowledge when the thruth is in the heart, when the dirt of falsehood vanishes and life is pure and clean. That is true living when one fixes one’s love on truth and finds joy in the hearing of the Name.”
Need of Guru: Almost all the great religions of the world emphasis the need of a preceptor or Guru or holy man for the attainment of salvation. The Vedas enumerate the qualities of a religious guide. Even Guru Nanak Sahib emphasizes that bliss can be obtained only through the grace of the Guru. Sikhism does not recognize either chosen prophets or chosen people. Guru Nanak Sahib did not insist on a physical Guru (Dehdari}. His own Guru was God Himself. What is important is not the person but the word-“The word is the Guru. The Guru is the word. If the devotee follows what the word says, surely the Guru will save him.” That is why Guru Gobind Singh Sahib installed Sri Granth Sahib as Guru for all time. We do not need any man as Guru because the word is now with us. Guru Arjan Sahib says, “Without a Guru, liberation cannot be won. The Guru is my boat, which will ferry me across the rough ocean of existence.” The Guru destroys illusions and attachment to worldly objects.
Guru Ramdas Sahib says, “The Guru is the Sikh and the Sikh who practices the Guru’s word is equal to the Guru.” Guru Gobind Singh Sahib says, “I live and have my being in the Khalsa.” The Guru lives in the form of the Panth. He resides in the Sangat. All the Gurus are identical with Nanak. Guru Gobind Singh Sahib passed on the corporal succession to the Panth, which is regarded as the embodiment of the Guru. The Panth represents the Guru and it is progressing, With the passage of time, the Panth is evolving. It is a dynamic and corporate personality with authority to make decisions (Gurmatas) binding on the Sikhs. In this way, there is a two-fold concept of Guru-dom, one permanent, the other progressive. The Word is the embodiment of eternal and changless truth, while the Panth is the progressive, collective personality of the Guru in Sikhs.
Guru Granth Sahib is the living embodiment of the Ten Gurus. It is the living flame of the Name, which lights the lamp of the disciple. There is no place for a living Guru in the Sikh religion, because Gurbani is Guru and Guru is Gurbani. After all, what the Guru does is to guide the disciple by means of words, in the same way Guru Granth Sahib guides the Sikh through its song-message. When a Sikh is in doubt about any principle of Sikhism, he refers the matter to the Panth for decision.
Reading of Scriptures: Many good thoughts and noble sayings are found in sacred books but mere reading cannot help much. It is only the first step. Guru Nanak Sahib says :”If a man reads books throughout his whole life, till breath leaves his body, only the Holy Name is valuable, all else is vanity of the self.” Again, “the scholar is an idiot if he has greed, avarice and pride.” What is important is the practice of the Name and the cultivation of virtue. An ounce of practice is preferable to a ton of knowledge. Ethics and laws tell us what to believe and what to do ; they are like signposts. But one has to do the walking oneself. One can-not reach God by books or by rituals. Scriptures are our guides for action. They cannot fill the disciple with divine love. The knowledge of Vedas does not bring liberation: “God is beyond the Vedas, beyond the holy books.” He can be found within the self by digging inward.
The doctrine of Grace: Guru Nanak Sahib tells us that God has chosen him as a bride out of a large number. This is the reward for the qualities of the bride- humility, loyalty, sweet words-which have won for her the grace of the Lord. Surrender to God is the highest virtue of freedom. Just as a faithful wife gets the utmost pleasure in her complete surrender to her good husband, in the same way, the devotee gets supreme bliss by surrendering himself to God. Self-surrender to God means the absence of earthly cravings and desires.
Grace and Karma: The modification of Karma by grace is an essential principle of Sikhism. Guru Nanak Sahib says :
Karma is the cause of birth in this world,
But salvation can be obtained by His Grace.
Good actions win not only public approbation but also divine favor.God does not interfere with man’s choice, though as the Ruler of the universe, he controls the over-all destiny of individuals.
Caste and Sikhism: Sikhism does not inculcate belief in caste. No man is born great or low. Guru Amardas says, “All colours and forms are thine.” Guru Arjan Sahib gives the simile of the potter. The clay has been molded in different forms. All men are the vessels of God. People may follow different faiths or divide themselves under different labels, but essentially man is one and indivisible. Whoever meditates on God becomes as great as He. Look at Ravidas the cobbler, Sadhna the butcher, Saina the barber. They were raised to the pedestal of saintliness and honored by all. Just as the philosopher’s stone transmutes iron ore into gold, in the same way God’s name changes a low-born person into a Bhagat. God’s name cleanses and purifies. It burns away all impurity. A person of high caste is worse than one of the lowest caste if he does not meditate on the Name. Moreover, caste is of no consequence in the next world. In God’s Court, men shall be judged by their thoughts and deeds, and not by their family or pedigree. The Guru brought the four castes under one banner. And yet he taught us to be humble and poor in spirit, because with-out it, we cannot sublimate egoism(haumai).
Place of miracles: Saints and prophets should not perform miracles to confirm the faith of people in them. Miracles should not be worked to prove the greatness or truth of a religion. In fact, it is a hindrance in the spiritual path. Guru Amardas says, “The desire to perform miracles is a worldly attachment and is an obstacle in the way of the Name residing in our hearts.” Guru Nanak Sahib had no taste for miracle. The greatest miracle was not to perform a miracle, in spite of his capacity to do so. He said :
If I exercise supernatural powers
And can create wealth at pleasure,
Can appear and disappear at will,
And thus win popular respect,
These delude fools only,
Who have no God in their hearts.
When the Sidhs asked Guru Nanak Sahib to show them a miracle, he replied that he would not do so : “Except the True Name, I have no miracle.” Guru Arjan Sahib and Guru Teg Bahadur underwent tortures but refused to perform miracles. Men of God do not like to engage in such tricks. Guru Hargobind rebuked his son Baba Atal for exhibiting supernatural powers for which the latter had to pay with his own life.
Renunciation of the world: Leaving one’s home and family and living away from people is not favored in Sikhism. Guru Nanak Sahib remonstrated the Yogis and the. Sidhs who lived in lonely and deserted places. The mind does not get peace in physical solitude. He writes in Sidh-Gosht:
Even when one is far away from cities,
The mind wanders away in sleep ;
Live by all means in society,
But covet not another man’s wife,
Through His Name, one gets self-control.
The Gurus regarded married life {Grahst} as the best mode of life. Escapism from the realities of life is not saintliness. The house-hold is a school where self-love is transformed into service of others and where the need to make an honest living leads to elevation of character.Guru Arjan Sahib says :
Renunciation of lust, anger, attachment is praiseworthy.
Guru Gobind Singh Sahib described renunciation thus : “0 my soul, practice renunciation in this way; consider your house as a forest and yourself as an ascetic in it. Let continence be your matted hair and communion with God your ablutions; instead of growing long nails pray daily; exert for acquiring divine knowledge ; instead of rubbing ashes on the body repeat His Name.”
Guru Nanak Sahib says, “He who fixes the mind on God’s feet, who remains desire-less amid desires and is in love with the True One, is a real Sanyasi” Such a man is neither depressed by sorrow and misfortune nor elated by joy. He accepts happiness and sorrow with the same spirit.”
Pilgrimage: According to Sikh religion, pilgrimage confers no spiritual benefit. Guru Nanak Sahib says, “Pilgrimage does not have the value of even a mustard seed. At places of pilgri-mage people take bath in holy rivers or tanks. But outward washing does not cleanse the mind. Guru Nanak Sahib says :
Why wash the body from outside ?
Wash the mind,
Clean it of the dirt of desire, ‘
And tread the path of salvation
All Gurus have tried to remove the wrong notion of the efficacy of pilgrimage. Guru Nanak Sahib says, “I would like to go to pilgrimage only if it pleased Him.” Again he says, “My places of pilgrimage are the Word, contemplation and divine knowledge within me.”
Fasting: Sikhism does not regard tasting as an act of religious merit. Fasting, in order to overcome disease or abnormality, is perfectly Icghnitaic. But fasting for austerity and ritual is hateful. Guru Nanak Sahib says, “Penance, fasting, austerity, alms-giving are mferior to truth; right action is superior to them all ” To affirm that spirituality depends on the quality or quantity of food is absurd. One must take normal food. If a man cannot take it, there is something wrong with him. But to fast for the sake of fasting is futile.
Maya: Maya has been defined in various ways. According to some, this world is Maya an illusion. According to Sikhism, the universe being the creation of the Supreme Being, is the temple of Divinity. It is as embodiment of His Eternal Truth. The world is subject to the Divine Will ; it has no independent existence of its own. In that sense, it is unreal or illusory; it is subject to decay : ”The universe is insubstantial as a shadow, fleeting like a dream, short-lived as a bubble,” as compared with the Creator, the Eternal Truth, The Guru writes :
In a thousand water’pots
There is one sky reflected,
When the water-pots burst,
The sky remains as before.
Man is caught with the infatuation of desire. This lure of worldliness makes him regard worldly things as [he goat of human life.
The concept of education in Sikhism: Sikhism includes a comprehensive system of self-education. The function of education is to prepare the aesthetic and emotional back-ground in which the individual may pet an opportunity for self-growth. Besides this, Dharma must inspire all the instruction and atmosphere in educational institutions.
It is the knowledge of the Hand. the knowledge of the Head and the knowledge of the Heart. The education of the Hand means the realization of the dignity of labour and the readiness of the individual to earn his living with manual work. It also includes the service of humanity with the hand. Guru Nanak Sahib says :
Those who earn their living
By the sweat of their brows,
And give it to the needy
Are the people who know,
The path of Truth and Virtue.
Education does not imply the acquisition of powers to rule over others or to exploit their simplicity or backwardness for selfish ends.
Make knowledge your merchandise,
Truth the horses you take to sell,
Tie up virtues as your traveling expenses,
Think not in your heart of the morrow,
When you reach the land of your love,
You shall obtain endless joy.
Guru Nanak Sahib gave a practical demonstration of this system of education by training his successor Sri Guru Angad Sahib. It was the training of the disciple through discipline. Man is to merge with the higher self, with Beauty. Truth and Goodness. This makes education both creative and purposeful.
Union with God: The feeling of unity of the individual with the Universal on the psychic plane is called “liv”. The man of God does not renounce the world. He lives in it and performs all his duties as a householder. But he does not feel attached to worldly desire. The apparent attachment of the mind with the world is lost; the mind remains in constant communion with Divinity. Such a man meditates or does good naturally and automatically. In tune with the infinite, the individual soul feels no pain or sorrow.
Union of Soul With God: Guru Arjan Sahib has mentioned five aspects of the actual experience of the union of the individual soul with the Universal Soul. Firstly, the darkness of ignorance disappears and the individual realizes the wonder of God’s universe. Secondly, there is an inner illumination, a kind of revelation – an enlightenment, not of the intellect but of mystic exaltation. Thirdly, the individual gains equipoise, a state of indefinable peace and confidence, coming from the loss of the ego. This sense of tranquility/shanti is due to the identification of the self with Divinity. Fourthly, the individual begins to love the entire humanity and is filled with a great longing for the service of his fellow-men. Fifthly, the individual realizes everything as emanating from God. His soul which had emanated from God is united with the Ultimate Source.
The True Yogi: A true yogi is not one who leaves his family and home, and wanders all over the country. A true yogi finds renunciation in the house itself. He does not regard llie house as his own but of the Lord, He renounces egoism. The true yogi is a friend of all : he is a servant of servants. He fixes his mind on God and remains desire less in the world.'” He remains indifferent to sorrow and happiness. He is free from cares, because he loves the only one God.
Guru Nanak Sahib rebuked the yogis for going to the houses of laity for begging. He denounced parasitism and recommended renunciation of desire and attachment in the midst of temporal life through the discipline of the Name.
The Concept of Woman: The Gurus held woman in high esteem. So with the rise of Sikhism, woman gained in dignity and social position. Some ancient scriptures denounced woman as unworthy of teaching or religious exercises. Woman was regarded as evil and unclean. Guru Nanak Sahib challenged this view: Why should we treat woman with contempt and cruelty? A woman is not to be condemned on the ground of her sex. Guru Granth Sahib says:
Of a woman we are conceived,
Of a woman we are born,
To a woman we are betrothed and married,
It is a woman who is a friend and partner of life,
It is a woman who keeps the race going,
Why should we consider women cursed and condemned,
When from woman are born leaders and rulers.
(Rag Asa, I)
Religious gatherings and Kirtan were thrown open to women; they could participate on equal terms with men in temporal and secular observances. Bhai Gurdas ji, the veteran Sikh theologian affirmed: ” Woman is man’s other half, and as such, helps him in attaining to salvation.” Guru Hargobind Sahib called woman ” the conscience of man.” Khande di Pahul(Amrit) is obligatory both for man and woman. The rules of conduct and the sphere of religious duties are identical both for man and woman. In religious meetings, men and women sing and lecture like equals. Guru Amardas Sahib condemned the practice of widow-burning (Sati): He said, “They are not satis who burn themselves with the dead bodies of their husbands. Those are real Satis who die of the mere shock of separation from their husbands.” Thus the equality of sexes is emphasized in Sikhism.
