With summer right around the corner, the urge to show some skin and buy cute summer dresses, skirts and shorts becomes tempting, even for locals who tend to hide under layers of clothes. With the warm weather we’ve been enjoying, many of you are probably panicking about fitting into your bathing suits and looking and feeling great while enjoying summer activities. If you’re having trouble meeting your goals, I’d like to offer some guidance to help you get back to feeling confident and healthy.
Union square is filled with healthy eateries, athletic stores and fitness options like Club One, free group runs and yoga from Lululemon Athletica and the free run club from Nike. Yet, this might not be enough to get you feeling and looking great. Many of us have cut calories, committed to exercise and tried to live healthy lifestyles without seeing results. How can this be?! You’re doing everything you’re supposed to, right? What I have found is that many people focus too closely on calorie counting and exercise to get in shape, because they’re not informed about other factors that can affect overall fitness.
-Digestive Distress: acid reflux, heartburn, bloating, gas..
-Skin Conditions: Acne, eczema, psoriasis, dry skin….
Until these issues are addressed, getting in shape can be very difficult if not impossible. A proper diet that is tailored to your needs and focuses on these imbalances will greatly improve your health and weight loss success, but more importantly your ability to maintain it. If you’re feeling stumped in your quest for health and fitness, you might try eliminating key food groups that many people are sensitive to (gluten, soy, corn, dairy, nuts, alcohol, caffeine, etc.) one at a time and see if they relieve or lessen any of the symptoms listed above. If they do persist, you also might want to consult a doctor who can check for vitamin and nutrient deficiencies. Once you have established that you aren’t sensitive to any foods or missing any crucial nutrients, I suggest you pursue a whole foods-based diet. To get you started, check out my recent blog post on the five vital rules for healthy eating. If you still feel you need guidance to meet your goals, please consider stopping by my office on Maiden Lane in Union Square or signing up for my Get at the Roots Weight Loss Program. It could change the way you feel and look and make for a fabulous time shopping for warm-weather clothes and sunning yourself in Union Square Park!

Canadian author, Eileen Schuh, is known for her thrilling elements of crime, sensitive treatment of social issues, and emotional exposure of the human psyche.
Schuh's most recent release is the crime thriller, OPERATION MAXTRACKER, Book 4 in her BackTracker series.
New for 2017 is a second edition of The Traz with a spanking new cover, some edits, and a few pages of new material. A revamped FATAL ERROR will be released in 2017 as well.
The first three novels in her gritty BackTracker crime series are THE TRAZ Book1, FATAL ERROR Book 2 and FIREWALLS Book 3. She is also the proud author of two adult SciFi novellas, SCHRÖDINGER'S CAT and DISPASSIONATE LIES as well as the adult crime thriller, SHADOW RIDERS.
She is both traditionally- and self-published.
Born and raised as Eileen Fairbrother in Tofield, Alberta Canada and with ties to Edmonton and Strathcona County, Schuh now lives with her husband near St. Paul in Alberta's northern boreal forests.
Schuh recently retired from a life of careers that varied from psychiatric nurse to journalist to editor to business woman. She remains active in her adopted community of St. Paul and is surrounded by the love and loyalty of family, friends and fans--virtual, imaginary, and real.
Schuh's children and grandchildren are her inspiration.
As per yesterday's blog, I could tell from prints I found in the snow that the bears had awoken from hibernation...and that something/s had ripped up the snow in front of one of my trail cameras, as if there had been a party in the woods.
I’d not been able to determine what had caused the chaos. Aside from my dogs’ prints and one small bear print, I’d not been able to identify any animal suspects.
When I posted my keto diet comment on Facebook (bemoaning the fact I was not losing weight), I was looking more for sympathy than advice. But I got lots of advice (and sympathy, too).
I didn't need advice as I'm under the care of both a registered dietitian and my family doctor. but I did appreciate the fact that my friends cared. Obviously, I'm not the only one battling a weight problem.
I recently acquired what I fondly refer to as my "snoring machine". Officially, it is a CPAP (Constant Positive Air Pressure) device to treat sleep apnea--which is a condition where one doesn't get enough oxygen while sleeping--for various reasons such as parts of one's tongue and throat relax and block one's airway--which is also the cause of one's snoring and/or frequent awakenings at night.
Combines at night with their lightsworking beneath a harvest moon.Bright spell.Dusty, musty new-mown smellsof harvest. Cold thick hazeborn of warmer days laysover the lower fields.I feel. Surreal.
"...drama, intrigue, and asks some really interesting questions."
"It will surprise, titillate and fascinate you."
I felt somewhat like young Katrina, the protagonist in The Traz, out there today in the mellow autumn sun with my basket.
However, Katrina accomplished a lot more with her mushroom picking, than I did. She used it as a cover when she disabled the perimeter sensors of The Traz biker gang compound and then disabled some of the bikers with the toxic Amanita muscaria as the cops swooped in.
Although I have male characters in all my published novels, the main character has always been female. I'll break with that tradition in my upcoming SciFi trilogy, Project W.Olf (to be released by WolfSinger Publications in 2019).
"You're never too old to learn" vs "You can't teach old dogs new tricks"
I think I'm pretty clever and have lived a long time, done much, and learned just about everything until days like today strike.
It seems one mindlessly accepts the world as it is until something, for reasons not understood, piques one's interest. "Have you ever seen a chickadee's nest?" Hubby asked as we watched the cheery, plentiful birds flit about our campsite.
Pauline Barclay : We've Decided to do it Again!
I was going to get some seasoned authors and critics to help me blog about the literary genre, but it turns out we all got too busy. So I’ll go it on my own.
Literary novels are the novels taught in schools and universities. They are the classics or are on the path to becoming classics. They may or may not make the New York Times best sellers list, but they generally win all the prominent book awards. They are often selected to be read by book clubs.
My work in progress is not going well. I set out to write a novel and ended up with short story. Everything I wanted to say and all that the characters wanted to do has taken far fewer words than planned.
Spring is here with all its tease and impending promise.
Beyond the whistle of the late March blizzard, one can feel it. Hear it. Even the snow now falls slower, quieter, laden with the promise of a quick melt. The chickadees chirp louder, with more persistence, with a familiarity born of eight long months of winter feeding and...their newfound longing to mate. In the evenings, at times a grouse drums in the forest.
I’m not really a nut over family trees; to me the significance of my ancestors has rested mostly in the stories told to me by my parents. Faces and names and branches on trees mean little to me without a story.
Some people are obsessed with their ancestry, believing perhaps that by remembering and honoring those who have gone before, they will find a measure of immortality in their descendants’ pursuit of the same passion.
I pursue my immortality by publishing novels.
In the cauldron of a volcano...I love my grandkids. I adore them. They fascinate me to no end. They remind me of the way I was, and the reasons why I am the person I've become.
They see things clearly, without prejudice. They are unique in word choice and language. They like it when I tease them.
They know how to fix my tablet and phone when things go wrong.
Déjà vu all over again...I mentioned in my last blog that I had re-released THE TRAZ and FATAL ERROR, the first two novels in my BackTracker crime series.
In addition to astounding new covers (thanks, Cathy at Avalon Graphics), a fair amount of editing and revisions took these books up a notch.
Back in January, six years after THE TRAZ was released, I deemed it ready for a makeover. This thrilling crime novel was not only the first is my BackTracker series, but my debut novel—the first book of mine ever published.Ah, the thrill of holding that paperback in my hands, seeing my name on the cover, inhaling the intoxicating smell of its freshly-printed pages. The sound when I riffled the pages.
For our Governor General Julie Payettto scoff at people who have a different belief system than the one she’s chosen for herself, is decidedly not becoming of a Canadian leader.
When the future of the world could very well depend on all of us promoting understanding, respect and tolerance among people of differing cultures and beliefs, her speech rang crass. | 2019-04-23T13:53:38 | https://www.amazon.com/Eileen-Schuh/e/B005C1ZHZU |

Emotional intelligence at work helps you to manage relationships and build networks successfully. Discover more benefits of this soft skill here!
You’re at work and there’s so much to be done. Then, suddenly, someone makes a mistake, and you have to put everything aside to deal with an emergency that puts your company’s reputation at risk. What steps do you take? How do you best manage your emotions and those of your team? The answers to these questions don’t depend so much on your intelligence quotient (IQ), but on your emotional intelligence (EQ). And, at work, this soft skill is very (very) important when it comes to motivating, building a team, managing high-stress situations and, of course, creating a culture of leadership.
Okay, but what is exactly “Emotional Intelligence” and which are its main benefits?
Firstly, emotional intelligence will allow you to stop and think before acting impulsively. This point is essential to manage stress at work successfully. Returning to the example of an emergency in your company, a person who has worked and trained their EQ will know how to control their emotions to focus on prioritizing tasks, delegating them and motivating all those involved, despite the negative circumstances.
This serenity will allow you to be visionary (clear minded) but also reactive when the occasion calls for it. A good combination of proactivity and reactivity is essential, especially when it comes to improving job performance.
Also, emotional intelligence increases your communication skills. It will help you find the right words to express your needs and emotions openly, at the right time, and without hurting someone’s feelings, blaming or victimizing anyone.
It will also help you to know your strengths and weaknesses, this will be a great asset when setting boundaries at work and to respect those of others.
Thanks to EQ, you will work with empathy and compassion towards others. This happens because you become more conscious about the needs of others and so, you know how to manage their emotions.
For all this, you will gain the respect and trust necessary to influence the rest of your team. That is why emotional intelligence is a great driver of leadership.
Luckily, in this day and age more and more recruiters within the labour market consider emotional intelligence a priority soft skill, even above the intelligence quotient. A leader who doesn’t work on their emotional intelligence is making a serious mistake, because they will be leaving aside the most important thing in the workplace: people.
If you want to know more about the benefits of emotional intelligence and leadership at work, you can learn everything from within the Adecco Group as the world’s leading HR solutions partner.

Four years ago, when I explained to my family that I hoped to become a doctor, most people became rather confused and were convinced that I had entered a medical profession. For years, I was asked to look at swollen ankles and bruised knees. Finally, the notion that I was just continuing my studies gradually became apparent to most of them. Not only to family, but to most people the real meaning of writing a Ph.D. thesis is not easy to grasp. However, family and friends have always stimulated and encouraged me to do whatever I did. Hopefully, this book is the proof that I was not making up all of those stories I told them in the pub, at birthday parties and candlelit dinners. Obviously, this undertaking could not have been done on my own and I would like to take the opportunity here to thank the following people.
In the first place, I would like to thank my supervisor Peter Nijkamp, who, with his boundless enthusiasm, energy and positive attitude, convinced me every time that it was not a mirage that one day I would defend my thesis. Peter also persuaded me to take the Ph.D. position in the first place, a decision I will most probably never regret. Secondly, I owe a great deal of gratitude to my co-promotor, Cees Gorter. He helped me enormously in the first three years of my research, not only in building the research framework but also by spending whole afternoons brainstorming. Cees will always occupy a special place in my heart. I will remember his dedication to economics forever, his humor, and his ability to put things into perspective. In my fourth year, Henri de Groot took over most of Cees’s tasks and I am very grateful for the tremendous effort he put into my dissertation and in guiding me through the last stages. Henri proved to be the ideal sparring partner, not only in economic issues but also in a broader sense.
I have worked closely with Raymond Florax during the last four years and his intuition, honesty and search for perfection has been an example (and mirror) for my own work. Moreover, working with him taught me the precise meaning of the phrase `in the nick of time’, because Chapter 7 was finalized on the evening of my last contract day. Other colleagues whom I would like to mention explicitly are Frank Bruinsma, with his down-to-earth approach, and Aura Reggiani, who taught me the Italian way of living and working.
The first two years of my research were undertaken at the Tinbergen Institute on the Keizersgracht in Amsterdam. A location not without a certain charm. I will remember most the discussions with my roommates Daniel and Egbert, the lack of consistency in working hours and the enormous amounts of coffee we drank. A habit I took with me to the VU. Noteworthy were also the social events and drinks, that had no curfew at that time. Here, I would like to thank Xander, Udo, Paul, Hans, Aico, Matthijs, Arjen, Rutger and Bas for some very enjoyable hours.
In contrast to popular belief, social drinks started to become more frequent at the VU. They took place, of course, in the Bruin Cafe on Friday’s and were, together with the (then) weekly squash events, the occasions to get to know your colleagues better. Days at the VU would have been less amusing without them, so, Ron, Jasper, Barry, Caroline, Joelle, Martijn, Arno, Shunli, Elfie, Trudy, Arianne, Katrin, Galit, Eric and Erik, and numerous other colleagues, thanks for making the last two years even more enjoyable.
The stimulation and encouragement of my friends did not always coincide with my research, but were, nonetheless, probably more important for me than they can ever imagine. They were always willing to brutally attack my latest findings or hypotheses with the subtlety of a sperm whale. For the long evenings and nights, I would especially like to mention Stevin, Manuel, Claartje, Koets, Tessa, Marjolein, Willemijn, Pieter and Rene. Moreover, I would particularly like to thank Jan here, because he was always the one who listened to me when a presentation failed miserably again, when algorithms displayed the nasty habit of not converging, or just when I felt like talking in general.
Naturally, my parents are the ones directly responsible for this thesis. I do not only owe them my existence, but a whole lot more, including a very good life. My sister, Charlotte, contributed a lot to the latter, and I do regret that she can not witness my defense as my paranymph, due to the fact that she is abroad.
Finally, my last words of thanks are for Joyce, my love, who continued believing and supporting me, even though she knew she was not going to be my paranymph. Joyce showed me those other important and wonderful things in life that Ph.D. students sometimes tend to forget. | 2019-04-23T21:54:46 | http://thomasdegraaff.nl/publications/migration/ |

An acquaintance mentioned the pleasure of detailing her partner's inherited commercial drafting table, the kind that weighs hundreds of pounds, is five or six feet wide, and is supported by a chest of many drawers. Her description of the process reminded me of the best value in used goods: something that needs merely to be washed. To that, the in-house geek would add something that needs to be washed that has a blown fuse. Between us we have paid pennies for thousands of dollars in gently used merchandise. | 2019-04-20T04:30:13 | https://www.defthome.com/2016/12/detailing.html |

My mood, specifically. Sometimes, I use a song to influence what I'm writing.
Absolutely! Coming May 16th is the first in a series with Twilight Fantasies Publications. From the Ashes is the story of Hannah Reed, a mortal in love with Will Caldwell, a pyreweld demon. Hannah and Will make a sexual commitment to one another only to have Will leave when another pyreweld-a female-passes through town.
Two years pass and Hannah is haunted by her unresolved feelings for Will. Just when she believes she is capable of entering into a new relationship with Michael Parker, Will returns to Jasper-alone. The pressure of Will's return and his eagerness to pick things up where they left off, as well as her confusion about her feelings toward Michael, causes Hannah to leave Jasper in the hopes of achieving some much needed mental clarity.
I'm currently working on a series of shapeshifters short stories. After that, I'd love to get back to my alien/sci-fi romance and my Halloween-themed story.
I love the research process. Sometimes I lose myself in researching; I get overwhelmed when it's time to write.
Deadlines help. Otherwise, I go from project to project with no real guidance.
I just start writing. Even when I have an outline or synopsis, chances are my characters will take over the story. That's actually what I love the most about writing - when characters surprise me.

Nepalis on Thursday witnessed something they had not seen in a decade: both the ceremonial and executive heads of state offering flowers to the statue of Prithvi Narayan Shah—a divisive icon loved by many and loathed by some.
President Bidya Bhandari and Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba celebrated Prithvi Narayan’s birth anniversary as National Unity Day, signalling a shift in the way the state views the founder of modern Nepal.
After Prithvi Narayan's 13th descendant, king Gyanendra, was deposed by pro-democracy activists in 2006, the government of Girija Prasad Koirala cancelled National Unity Day saying Nepal's founding ruler was a feudal king.
Ex-Maoist guerrillas brought down Prithvi Narayan’s statues across the country. They could not topple the one in front of Singha Darbar, so they covered it in a shroud. A section of nationalists opposed what they viewed as the Nepali version of China’s Cultural Revolution, but their voices were ignored.
A decade later, as Maoists prepare to merge with the UML led by nationalist KP Oli, the Sher Bahadur Deuba government has revived Unity Day, giving re-birth to Prithvi Narayan as a unifying figure.
But some still resent Prithvi Narayan as a feudal lord, who they say invaded weaker principalities and annexed them to his Gorkha kingdom. They marked National Unity Day as Black Day.
Gurung is hopeful that things will change, and that oppressed people will rise once again to challenge Prithvi Narayan’s legacy. But that looks a far-fetched possibility, as nationalist Oli and ex-revolutionary Pushpa Kamal Dahal intensify closed-door negotiations to create a unified leftist party. They are hoping to rule Nepal for at least five years.
Despite his party suffering humiliating defeats in last year’s elections, Deuba has managed to stay put so far. But his government has already decided to hold the Upper House elections on 7 February, after which Oli is expected to be the new Prime Minister.
Oli’s second innings as PM will not be easy. When UML Chair Manmohan Adhikari became Prime Minister in 1994, he unveiled several welfare programs, a move that benefits his party to this day. But Oli may not be able to follow suit, with the state exchequer depleted and economists warning Nepal may not achieve 7% economic growth.
And, activist Govinda KC, after being arrested for contempt of court and released by the Supreme Court, will be challenging the new government even more vehemently. Oli’s hatred for KC is not hidden, and his nexus with medical businesses, described by KC as mafia, is well-known.

Whether you are looking to dress in head to toe green or simply fancy a delicious brew (some green, some not), here are a few pubs worth visiting if you're in Vancouver on March 17th.
Established in 1972, the Blarney Stone is the longest running Irish Pub in the City of Vancouver and arguably the most recognized pub in British Columbia. More than just an Irish pub, the Blarney Stone is Vancouver’s institution for Irish inspired food, Irish entertainment, and Irish atmosphere. Voted best Irish pub in Vancouver, the Blarney stone is a local favourite and popular tourist destination. offering a unique pub experience by day and rip roaring, foot stomping good time by night.
Big Rock Urban Brewery & Eatery is a new addition to Vancouver’s thriving craft beer scene, located in the heart of the Brewery Creek/Mount Pleasant district. The full scale brewery offers brewery tours and tastings, a beer store with growler fill bar, and also features a full service restaurant & lounge serving beer-inspired dishes with live & local music many nights a week.
The Yaletown Brewing Company is Vancouver's original and brewpub. Founded in 1994, just as the former warehouse district of Yaletown was just beginning to emerge as a destination for businesses and residents, the YBC was built with the vision of being a true neighbourhood pub - a welcoming gathering place whether you arrived dressed in a suit or flip-flops.
Since it's opening in 1995, Steamworks has been a favourite of Vancouver locals and visitors alike. Steamworks gets its name from the famous Gastown steam line that runs through the premises. The Gastown Brewing Company, which is located onsite and brews Steamworks beers, uses steam to fire its kettles. The instant heat of steam allows for greater brewing finesse, and most importantly great tasting beer.
Traditional and contemporary Irish influences come together inspired by age-old taverns in Ireland. The restaurants feature embellished hardwood mouldings, inlaid stone, celtic artwork, and genuine bric-a-brac. The ceilings are unique, incorporating striking Celtic artwork painted by Irish artists, and the traditional warm Irish feel is reinforced by double sided fireplaces that face into the restaurants and out onto the large patios. | 2019-04-21T10:33:11 | https://www.tourismvancouver.com/media/articles/post/five-great-pubs-to-celebrate-st-patricks-day/ |

The EXECCMD argument of the VIEWTABLE command installs an SCL method that processes custom commands issued to the VIEWTABLE window. This argument is beneficial, however there are limitations when a user desires several independently developed custom command parsers be active.
Custom commands can be issued from the command window, menu choices or programmed keys.
Develop a custom command processing environment which an end user can easily install and configure. Advance coding practices that prefer self-relative or self-evident structure. Reliance on hardcoded paths or class names is to be minimized or entirely eliminated. Implementation of custom commands is not considered end-user territory and should be attempted by those with SAS/AF experience.
The manager is installed at VIEWTABLE start-up by using the EXECCMD argument. The manager can not be installed after a VIEWTABLE window has started. Each VIEWTABLE window is independent, custom commands installed for one window are not available to another.
Future versions could address the desire for class registration to be permanent (aka persistent) or session global and in affect for all VIEWTABLE windows.
In this project, the manager will be Common.Viewtable.CustomCommand.scl, method Manager. It will be installed using VIEWTABLE argument EXECCMD=Common.Viewtable.CustomCommand.scl:Manager. In reality, the manager can be any method of any scl entry.
This custom command is used to register a method of a SAS/AF class for dispatching. An instance of the class is added to a dispatch list.
catalog is of the form libname.memname. If [catalog.] is not present, it will default to the same catalog that the custom command manager was loaded from. If [:method] is not present, it will default to commandParser.
The method must be of signature (CNC)V (see below for more details). If the method sets the return code argument to 1, then the command will not be dispatched to any additional classes. This prevents collisions between two classes designed to process the same custom command.
Different methods of the same class can be registered.
This custom command is used to remove a class method from the dispatch list. If only a class is indicated, all methods of that class are removed.
This custom command unregisters all methods and uninstalls the Manager.
You may want to develop a class hierarchy to make common command processing tasks easily reusable.
SCL code to infer user intuited arguments of a command line from highly tokenized unquoted arguments is possible and encouraged to reduce frustration on the users part. (E.g. Why the heck to I have to quote everything all the time?) The source of the manager will demonstrate the technique.

You are at:Home»Opinion»Are Dharma and Religion the Same?
Dharma is an age old tradition with an unmistaken element of diversity unlike any other ancient or modern civilisation. Quintessentially, dharma is the scientific investigation of human psyche by human beings for human beings. While dharma is experiential, the doctrines associated with dharma can be marked by the explicit focus on Satya and Ahimsa.
Often dharma is translated as religion in the absence of a proper synonym in English. This has been challenged by many scholars. Prof. S.N. Balagangadhara, an insider to the western academia, pointed out this “non-religious” construct of the Dharma tradition. In his book “The Heathen in His Blindness”: Asia, the West and the Dynamic of Religion (1994) he presented his thesis that demarcates the Indic tradition from the Abrahamic tradition. This scholarly and rigorous book is well-acclaimed. Balagangadhara is, currently the director of the India Platform and the Research Centre Vergelijkende Cutuurwetenschap (Comparative Science of Cultures) at the Ghent University, Belgium.
In the preface of this book, Balagangadhara clarifies that appreciation of his thesis demands from the reader—either the Western one or the colonised elite of a non-western nation—a dissociation from her/his cultural background who, knowingly or unknowingly, grew up under the influence of a Christianity induced culture. Therefore, his book presents the arguments keeping the cultural background of the potential readers in mind.
The book, rather unconventionally, addresses the reader in the second person to emphasise the non-universal nature of any culture-based dialogue and non-translatability of culture-based words. It is perfectly possible to translate a sentence like “It rains” or “It is sunny” in all languages of the world of all times, since all cultures have witnessed the rain and the sun in their experience. In the cultural sphere, experiences of different groups are quite different, and therefore, one set of cultural constructs may not be translated into another language. What is more significant is that this mistranslation of initial set of cultural constructs may prepare ground for further and more serious misunderstandings.
Let us do a thought experience to illustrate this idea through an example in the physical sphere. If any of us lands up in a stone-age world, we will not have any difficulty to translate the physical phenomena like the sun or the rain of that world. However, if we teleport a stone age person to any of our modern cities, he will be short of his vocabulary while viewing the modern technological marvels like electricity that allows the modern citizens to switch on a light by pressing a button far away. The wonderstruck stone-age-person may call electricity as ‘magic’ for want of experience. He may incorrectly presume all citizens as magicians and may attribute imaginary attributes to these “magicians”.
Although only a thought experiment, it presents an analogy to the prevailing cultural situation. A spiritually advanced diverse culture like India (the modern day citizen) can readily understand the monolithic constructs of another society (the stone-age person) but the gaze reversal causes umpteen misconceptions. Therefore, the Western academy presents Buddha as a rebel to Hinduism (the alternative terminology used is Brahmanism) and considers him to be the founder of a new religion that is antithetical to Brahmanism. This western understanding seems quite ridiculous to the Dharma tradition for the following reason.
The Western academy conceives Buddha antithetical to Brahmanism like Marx is anti-Capitalism. Could Marx ponder over the question as to who is a “true” capitalist and attribute all noble Marxian qualities to a “true” capitalist? The answer, would be, an unequivocal No! Buddha, the so-called “anti-brahmin”, inexplicably for a western scholar, did define a “true” brahmin in several places (For example Dhammapada 417, 81 quoted in The Heathen in His Blindness page 208) and the “true” Brahman defined by Buddha is the most honourable person, says Buddha. This is a paradox that is beyond the western scholars to resolve.
A dharma-practitioner sees no contradiction in this phenomenon. To him, Buddha presented his realised idea that meditation is more conducive to peace than yajna with animal sacrifice. There are others like Vasu, the King of Chedi, who also opined the redundancy of animal sacrifice; he is also respected in the rituals of so-called Brahmanism.[i] A true brahmin—that is, a knowledge seeker, as commonly understood in the Dharma tradition—definitely knows the means to peace and would be most honourable to Buddha.
The conclusion of Balagangadhara is plain and simple: Indian society is marked by absence of religion.
Religion is defined, in the Oxford dictionary, as the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power. It is a cosmology, some kind of theory about human destiny.
Religions require Faith unlike dharma which is scientific exploration of human psyche. To a scientific practitioner of Dharma, this difference is crystal clear. This difference—however—cannot be even recognised by those who do not undertake dharma-practises. Those who practise dharma rituals without the scientific attitude, may also find both dharma and religion as a matter of faith. Giants in the tradition of dharma, suggested rules for socio-political discourse and development of personal consciousness, based on their own experience which is potentially verifiable by all. In religious traditions too, the Prophets shared their commandments to their followers who must follow them for rich after-life benefits. Differentiation between these two sets of rules may be confusing for many.
If religion is simply a faith, many sects of the dharma tradition may be called faiths too. Any doctrine under the dharma tradition, however, must adhere to satya and ahimsa, which is not a requirement for a religion. In the Indic tradition, doctrines are of two kinds: dharma and adharma[ii] where the latter do not subscribe to satya and ahimsa.
Analogies are seldom perfect, yet I tread the risky path for a better understanding. A Dharma-theory may tell us, if we do not add water to the car-radiator, the car-engine may suffer on account of overheating. A Religion-theory, on the contrary, will be: if we do not keep the photo of Vishvakarman—the devata of engineering—beneath the windscreen, we will end up hurting the car-engine. To an unintelligent person, a false equivalence may arise between the two theories, as both suggest about following a rule and imply disastrous consequences of not following the rule.
Now, which of these two theoreticians will be more secured? Which of them will be more prone to violence? If I do not want to add water to my car-radiator, Dharma-theoretician would perhaps smile at me and retort to me, “Yes go ahead; examine my words”. He will not be perturbed by my lack of faith and is least likely to throw any violence. On being told about my reluctance to hold the photo of Vishvakarman, the Religion-theoretician would, unlike Dharma-theoretician, be prone to—directly or indirectly—blaming me for my lack of faith in Vishvakarman, which is initiation of violence in the subtlest form.
In essence, ahimsa is an action-policy emanating out of satya. Therefore, satya can be verified from the practise of ahimsa, and ahimsa is reinforced from a true understanding of the universe, satya. They are complementary and supplementary to each other. Without pursuit of satya, one cannot practise ahimsa for long. For a satya-less doctrine, the inquisitive minds are to be silenced using some kind of himsa. On the other hand, without practice of ahimsa, the pursuit of satya is impossible. The course correction to reality will be blocked by easy choice to mute the critics through himsa. Consequently, satya may be subjugated to human greed and personal ambition.
While in verbose theory-making, one can term one’s own religion with grandiose adjectives like religion of peace, religion of love etc., the real examination of its type—dharma or adharma—can be done by analysing the action-policy. If the action-policies of any religion do not adequately emphasise satya and ahimsa, it is not dharma.
Satya is reality. Analysis of reality requires complete freedom of expression and thought to all. A dharma-based policy will neither take away one’s personal freedom to thought and expression nor will stifle criticism in any form. A dharma tradition will never be interested in book-burning or book-banning but in comparative analysis of various truth claims. On the other hand, a faith based religion is never interested in real debates but stifles others’ right to criticism whenever possible.
Religions may or may not have originated from a Dharma-tradition; they may or may not have scientific roots. In case a religion can trace its origin to a dharma tradition and its rules resonate laws derived in first-person-empiricism based science, we can think about this religion as one that inherits some aspects of dharma. For those who are comfortable with the parlance of Marxian sociology, the science of dharma is the base, on which the superstructure of this particular religion is founded.
For example, Hinduism—a so-called religion of the present times—is founded upon the science of dharma. One should not, nevertheless, prone to a conclusion that every aspect of Hinduism reflects the science of dharma. The science of dharma, as argued in this article, is the highest expression of human consciousness and time to time, adherents of the dharma-tradition deviated from that stage of the highest consciousness. Such deviations produced outgrowths that are, no way, expressions of the science of dharma.
In the words of David Frawley, there are more religions inside of Hinduism than outside of it. This is indicative of two things. One, satya and ahimsa allows sustained harmony among sects inspite of diverse outlooks. Second, without explicit focus on satya and ahimsa, harmonious existence and cultivation of diversity is impossible.
This is a well-articulated phrase in contemporary Hinduism which often passes off as its essence.[v] This phrase is a tautology if it is taken in its true meaning. “All dharmas are of the same inclination”. Indeed all different doctrines or facets of dharma, by definition, must cater to the twin theme of satya and ahimsa.
Yet, the popular meaning of this phrase is “equivalence (equality) of all religions” which is quite nonsensical. The Abrahamic religions whose cosmology describes one finite human life and an infinite afterlife of Hell or Heaven depending on faith in a particular Prophet, is no way equivalent, similar or even comparable to the Dharma tradition cosmology that describes reincarnation till absoluteness is achieved.[vi] They are simply different, as Rajiv Malhotra has convincingly demonstrated in his book Being Different (2011). The fact that the nonsensical meaning of this phrase has become a main plank of Hinduism, indicates the downfall of Hinduism from a dharma-tradition to a faith (religion).
[i] The brahmins and the devatas both disputed on the need for animal sacrifice in yajna. The former group insisted on animal sacrifice but the latter group pointed out its redundancy. They came to Vasu, the King of Chedi, for arbitration. Vasu offered his verdict in favour of the latter group. This resulted in vegetable sacrifice in yajna instead of animal sacrifice. The brahmins got angry and cursed Vasu to being famished. The devatas came to his rescue and mandated the ritual of Vasudhara, wherein people offer rice and ghee to Vasu.
[ii] The sixteenth chapter of the Gita makes a categorisation of Daivi and Asuric natures. This categorisation is very similar to the dharma-adharma categorisation.
[iii] This law is not isolation but continuation of the secular policy that generally discourages censuring of Abrahamic religions. Jacob de Roover demonstrated in his book Europe, India and the Limits of Secularism (2015) that secularism is a cultural construct of Protestant Christianity. Therefore, secular policies are often that of Christianity.
[v] The phrase is a recent invention, first by Raja Rammohan Roy to our knowledge. The background is discussed in details by Rudra Pratap Chattopadhyaya, an undervalued writer, in his Bengali book “Ram Mohan ebang unish shataker dharma dushan”.
[vi] The nonsensical nature of this statement can be understood by perusal of Ram Swarup’s works, in particular, Understanding Islam through Hadis (1983) and Hindu View of Christianity and Islam (1993).

Most fans of The Elder Scrolls video games would agree that the series’ fantasy world of Tamriel is one of the best realized in gaming history, and has been the setting of fantastic games like Morrowind, the 2006 classic Oblivion and 2011’s masterpiece The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (a remastered edition of which was released recently).
But still, The Elder Scrolls Online is still a solid multiplayer game that offers plenty of opportunities for fun, but never quite reached the popularity of other MMO games like Blizzard’s world-conquering World of Warcraft.
And now those curious to try Bethesda’s online role-playing game will have a chance to do so starting November 16, as the game will be free to play until November 20 on both the PS4 and PC.
You can try The Elder Scrolls Online, minus the areas added in the game’s DLC packs, until November 20.
PlayStation 4 owners will be able to download the game from the PlayStation Network (no PlayStation Plus membership is required for this), while PC gamers will be able to do so from Valve’s Steam store. Bear in mind, though, that this is a hefty download as the game requires a humungous 73 GB of storage space, so you might need to free some space on your hard drive in order to play Bethesda’s epic online RPG.
Additionally, players who get to try the game during the promotion period and meet other requirements specified on Bethesda’s website will take part in a contest to win one of five “Trips of a Lifetime”, with one of the destinations being the Swiss Alps as detailed on Blizzard’s official website. Also, players will be able to buy The Elder Scrolls Online at a discount price until the free offer expires on November 20.
What is clear though, is that this is a unique opportunity to get to know what the Elder Scrolls is all about for those yet to try the series, and to sample the epic role-playing that Bethesda’s games have become famous for over the years. | 2019-04-20T22:13:50 | https://www.lakebit.com/you-can-play-the-elder-scrolls-online-for-free-until-november-20/ |
The King of Birds is a new hardcover graphic novel, written and illustrated in full color by Alexander Utkin. It’s published by Nobrow Press: “The King of Birds has victoriously defeated the King of Animals, but he is left gravely injured. He promises a merchant a great reward if he can nurse him back to health. Upon his recovery, they travel far across the land to the domains of the King’s three sisters to claim the merchant’s prize… but can his sisters overcome their greed and give up that which is most precious to them?” This is the first story in the new Gamayun Tales series of Russian folk tales — hosted by the titular Gamayun, a human-faced bird who tells stories. Check out the review over at Broken Frontier. The book is available now. | 2019-04-25T19:44:30 | https://www.infurnation.com/2018/09/22/the-bird-pays-him-back/ |
The dramatic shape of the BVI’s third largest island, Virgin Gorda, reminded Christopher Columbus of a reclining woman, or “Fat Virgin,” inspiring its name. Measuring 8 ½ square miles, Virgin Gorda entices travelers with its yacht clubs, quiet coves, safe anchorages and luxury resorts and villas.
Natural beauty is in abundance and accessible via indigenous plant-lined trails, nature sanctuaries and natural wonders of our protected national parks. Hike to the island’s high point, Gorda Peak, for a splendid panoramic view of the surrounding islands.
For a quintessential Caribbean vacation, stroll or swim at the unspoiled beaches at Savannah Bay, Pond Bay, Devil's Bay, Mahoe Bay or Spring Bay.
Evidence of the rich heritage of African, Indian and Spanish history is plentiful, from the Spanish ruins at Little Fort National Park to the Cornish Copper Mines, where the ruins are set against the azure sea at the island’s southwestern tip. This eclectic influence extends to Virgin Gorda’s local cuisine, shops, arts, fashion and gifts.
Take the trail to Virgin Gorda’s high point, Gorda Peak, for a splendid panoramic view of the surrounding islands.
Ferries run regularly between Tortola’s Road Town and Spanish Town, which also has its own airport. Another ferry from Beef Island’s Trellis Bay runs to Leverick Bay, the Bitter End Yacht Club.
A visit to the Baths, where huge granite boulders create mysterious grottos and saltwater pools, is an essential destination on Virgin Gorda.
On the North Sound and accessible only by water, the exclusive Bitter End Yacht Club offers a premier resort and barefoot elegance. | 2019-04-23T12:43:17 | https://www.bvitourism.com./virgin-gorda |

Some functions deliver a range error if the supplied argument value, or the correct function result, would be subnormal. A subnormal value is one that is non-zero, but with a magnitude that is so small that it can't be presented in normalized form (i.e., with a 1 in the most significant bit of the significand). The representation of a subnormal number will contain one or more leading zeros in the significand. | 2019-04-21T10:42:06 | http://4e00.com/manpages/man7/math_error.7.html |

Principles of Operation: The TE-3000 series Thermoelectric Alloy Sorter utilizes the same theory as an ordinary thermocouple; involving the direct conversion of temperature differences into electricity. (This principle is also known as the Seebeck Effect ). A heated metal probe makes contact with the test metal; a thermocouple type circuit is formed.
The best choice for the verification of cylindrical and ball bearings of various sizes.
Don't spend a fortune getting alloys needlessly analyzed when you only need to sort one alloy from another. Why send samples to a lab? Sort your mixed up metal yourself! TE instruments take so little time and effort that a large number of identifications can be made in a very short time. This universal, low cost, metal tester finds applications in all facets of metal inspection, quality control, scrap-sorting, maintenance, and repair. TE Sorters are used for scrap metal recycling, including upgrading material to increase profits. No special training required.
Flip up the power switch to ON. This warms up The Prospector.
Attach the grounding clip to test metal.
Touch the heated probe to test metal for one second.

Principles of Operation: The TE-3000-HD Thermoelectric Alloy Sorter utilizes the same theory as an ordinary thermocouple; involving the direct conversion of temperature differences into electricity. (This principle is also known as the Seebeck Effect ). A heated metal probe makes contact with the test metal; a thermocouple type circuit is formed. One junction (or metal) is held at a constant elevated temperature. This generates a very small micro-voltage. The micro-voltage varies with the type of metal and can be consistently correlated. This thermal property can be used to characterize most metals. Industrial quality control instruments use this as a method to identify metal alloys. This is known as Thermoelectric alloy sorting. This is a widely known and approved method (ASTM E977) for standard practice of metal classification and verification. Top fabricators, scrap recyclers, pharmaceutical OEM, and aerospace industries; worldwide have chosen Koslow Scientific for over 40 years. We have been providing the industry's best Thermoelectric Alloy Sorter and lowest-cost alloy identification instruments. We understand metal sorting.

In 2001 the SoundPLAN developer implemented the FHWA Traffic Noise Model (TNM ™). In 2006 SoundPLAN finalized the implementation of the TNM 2.5 noise emission and noise prediction methodology. SoundPLAN is in contact with FHWA and Volpe to resolve the difference that still remain in the noise prediction calculation.
FHWA developing TNM v3.0. The Volpe Insititue works on the acoustic kernel and a software house provides the user interface. As part of the TNM v3 release FHWA developed a noise modeling Consistency Test. SoundPLAN implemented the TNM v3 changes. In early 2015, SoundPLAN started to process the Consistency Test. The requirements of the Consistency Test is to be within +/- 0.25 dB of the TNM v3 benchmark results. Unfortunately SoundPLAN found that the result could not be used as benchmark. As soon as the results of the Consistency Tests are updated by FHWA SoundPLAN will continue with the consistency test.
Note: The Federal Highway Administration Traffic Noise Model (FHWA TNM™) is protected by U.S. copyright laws. The noise prediction methodology used in SoundPLAN has been designed to be consistent with the FHWA TNM (TM), however, SoundPLAN has not been tested, evaluated, or approved for use by any Agency of the U.S. Government.
The graphics show the results computed with the SoundPLAN implementation of the FHWA TNM 2.5 version.
The graphic shows road noise model using a meshed contour calculation. The grid mesh is concentrated close to roads, barriers, buildings and opens up in area with free field propagation where the sound field is relatively in-active.
The graphics show spectral results computed with the SoundPLAN implementation of the FHWA TNM 2.5 version. The graphic indicate that the 250 Hz to 2 kHz octave bands are significant contributors to the overall noise impact. | 2019-04-19T02:34:50 | http://navcon.com/www/content/soundplan-road-module |
The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Atiku Abubakar should withdraw his court case over the election, according to Prophet Anthony Nwoko.
Concise News understands that Atiku who lost the election to President Muhammadu Buhari, rejected the result and went to court.
However, Prophet Nwoko, speaking on Tuesday in Enugu, said the PDP is dead in the country.
Also, he said Buhari’s first term in office was rejected by God.
“If he thinks he is going to rule Nigeria with this kind of situation the nation is in right now, he is making a blunder,” he said.
He added: “It’s time for Nigerians to know that the election that was conducted was not the will of God.
“The time has come for the world to know the truth because the Bible says that you shall know the truth and the truth shall set us free. | 2019-04-22T08:44:20 | https://www.concisenews.global/Prophet+Speaks+On+Presidential+Election%2C+Tells+Atiku+What+To+Do |
Im in work at the moment and its quite quiet and ive been sat here thinking. Im 22 +2 and live with my fiance in Cardiff.
Now, before i was pregnant i had a good bunch of friends and had previously been travelling. We used to go out alot even it was just for something quick to eat or to the cinema and now i cant even remember the last time i saw them !
Just because im pregnant it doesnt mean im not any fun nemore !
I feel quite sad about this as if they were real friends they'd come around to see me or organise something. Im fed up of trying and geting nowhere.
My partner is 10 years older than me and all his friends have wives and children and its harder to get along with them as we dont share the same interests.
Tell them what you just told us!!
Aaah you poor thing, you're friends are probably assuming you are tired or want to stay in for now. Why don't you ring the one that you are closest to and tell her how you feel then she can let all the others know and they can make you feel better.
If you are the first in your group to have a baby they might need you to let them know that you still want to come out. I know it feels like you shouldn't have to but they probably just need a bit of a nudge.
Im not the 1st to have a baby. Im 23 and a couple of my friends have had babies, this is what i dont understand ive told a couple of them how i feel and they promise we will all arrange something but it never happens.
It kinda makes you think- y should i bother?? They dont want to bother with me. Quite sad really.
I can sympathise, im 24 and 22+4 with my daughter and have found that my friends have disappeared. We used to go out whenever we got chance but now i dont seem to see them apart form those who i work with. They do still ring to check that im ok but thats about it. Im somilar to you in that my partner is 7 years older than me and his friends all seem to be settled down were as mine are all still living the party life.
Try and talk to them all individually and tell them how you feel. hopefully they will realise that life doesnt stop just cause your expecting.
Happened when I had my 15 yr old, with my 6 yr old and now this one. The true friends have been there all along but there are a few who drift away. The saying is you can count your true friends on one hand!!!!! | 2019-04-18T18:55:03 | https://forum.madeformums.com/pregnancy/31239-so-called-friends.html |
King Sigfred, a Los Angeles Great Dane, starts his day with the first of his three small, high-protein, high-fiber and low-carbohydrate meals. His water bowl contains just enough water during mealtimes -- about a cup, in his case -- and he doesn’t exercise for two hours after a meal, to promote proper digestion.
His housemate, miniature schnauzer Clara, on the other hand, receives her insulin injection and eats at 7 a.m. sharp. After her morning meal ritual, she goes for a 45-minute walk. She does best with no changes, sticking to the same calories and exercise every day to maintain regular blood sugar levels.
In both cases, the dog’s owner, accountant David Carleton, takes such measures to prevent his dogs’ hereditary conditions from worsening. Great Danes are predisposed to bloat, while Schnauzers have a tendency to get diabetes. However, as with King Sigfred and Clara, hereditary issues need not weigh down on your pet and disrupt your lives.
It first helps to understand a bit about genetics, which is at the root of the entire problem. Genetics can refer to inherited variation in DNA, a specialized acid that contains the instructions used in the development of all living organisms. Genetic predisposition means that your dog is at risk of getting a health problem due to its breed and that breed’s associated genes. Just as diabetes, epilepsy, cancer and arthritis can run in certain human families, these conditions can pass down through dog families, too, even if your pet is a mutt with multiple breeds on its family tree.
All breeds are susceptible to genetic-associated ailments. There is no way to tell if a puppy will have any of the predisposed diseases, since genetics is strictly luck of the draw. Two littermates may or may not have the same genetic makeup. Also, being predisposed just means a risk that is higher than normal. By the same token, a dog that is not predisposed can get diseases with a genetic component. Nothing is cast in stone when it comes to genetics.
Two of the most common genetic-linked health issues among virtually all breeds are hip dysplasia and allergies.
Hip dysplasia is abnormal development and growth of the hip joint -- common in larger dogs -- that can cause painful arthritis and movement problems. Dogs typically show signs at five to eight months of age. You can’t prevent the condition, but you can keep it from getting worse. “The big issue is nutrition,” said Dr. Greg L. Harasen, DVM, an orthopedic veterinary surgeon in Regina, Saskatchewan. “Dogs on high-energy rations as puppies, which grow at a more rapid rate, have more severe changes in their hips. The rations don’t cause the problem; they make the changes worse.” He explains that the problem is that some people feed their pups too much, elevating their dogs’energy and calcium levels, which forces the undesired rapid growth. Be sure to feed your pet according to manufacturer and veterinary guidelines.
For appropriate cases, there are surgical fixes to get your dog walking more easily again. Another remedy for adult canines is weight control. “In dogs with degenerative changes in their hips, the more they weigh as adults, the more clinical signs they tend to have,” says Dr. Harasen. Prevent obesity by not overfeeding your dog, by making sure that you account for all food consumed, including treats and kitchen handouts. Be sure that your dog gets enough exercise as well.
Allergies can also be inherited, with flea allergies among the most common for dogs. Amy Tiedt, a veterinary technician in Brooklyn, Wis., knows her West Highland white terrier, Fred, is wildly allergic to fleas and dust mites. Just two fleas can cause him to start scratching badly enough to need antibiotics. Dust mites make him just as miserable. Total flea control is critical. “I use topical flea preventive religiously and mark the calendar so applications are never late,” says Tiedt. To avoid steroid use, Fred gets daily fatty acid supplements and antihistamines as needed.
Fred, King Sigfred and other dogs prove daily that a hereditary disease doesn’t automatically mean that you and your dog must suffer. Sometimes you can prevent or delay conditions by following specific medical and nutritional recommendations. Your veterinarian can advise you, but the day-to-day management is up to you. | 2019-04-21T11:13:34 | http://blog.lovemypets.com/permalink-articles-222-9-2010.aspx |
In 2016 Jessica Pell fainted and cut her ear when she fell. She went to Hoboken University Medical Center, where was given an ice pack and a bandage. That was the extent of her treatment. She did not get a diagnosis. Her bill was $5,751.
Pell left the ER when she discovered the plastic surgeon who would see her was out of network for her insurance. She decided to go to an in-network facility instead. She thought this was a smart way to avoid the costly fees that came with seeing a provider that wasn’t included in her health plan.
Pell’s health insurance plan paid the hospital $862, what it deemed a “reasonable and appropriate” fee for the services the hospital paid. That left Pell with a $4,989 bill that she received on February 28.
“There was no way for me to have avoided this bill, to have known what I would have been charged,” Pell says.
In other words, if you get injured in the United States and don't have the kind of taxpayer-funded medical insurance that members of Congress have, you are screwed.
American health care is so screwed up, so horribly distorted by the insurance companies' abusive practices, that millions of Americans (even those with insurance) fly to Mexico every year to get state-of-the-art medical care -- and a resort vacation in the bargain -- rather than face the US system, and save money by doing so.
If Trump gets his way, your elderly relatives will be evicted from nursing homes after their Alzheimer's care eats up their lifetime Medicaid benefits; as Yves Smith writes, "are family members supposed to let them wander out into traffic and have nature take its course?" | 2019-04-20T22:14:31 | https://boingboing.net/2018/05/03/hospital-charged-a-woman-575.html?fk_bb |
In addition to a sense of adornment or function, clothing can provide insights to global issues like the economy and climate change.
TANG UNCOVERS FASHION: With her new book “Disrobed: How Clothing Predicts Economic Cycles, Saves Lives and Determines the Future,” Syl Tang puts a lot of stock in clothing.
In the 12 years she freelanced for the Financial Times, she frequently touched upon a similar topic but didn’t have the time to explore it due to word count restrictions. For example, she once wrote a piece about jewelry in the Afghan world and how the department of defense funded some of these companies that were started by women. “But when I would talk to people about linking apparel, jewelry or wearables to other topics, I would see their eyes glaze over a little bit. They wouldn’t connect the dots so I knew I needed to write a book about it,” she explained.
The underlying theme is how “behind the clothing, there is this understanding of the world,” she said. To that point, the cover art for the Rowman & Littlefield book is an unzipped hoodie on a globe of the world. Through her writing, she explores the role that clothing plays in natural disasters, climate change, terrorism, geopolitics and agribusiness.
Earlier this fall she shared her insights with the nonprofit Creative Coalition. Tang also consults with a few companies including a digital fashion start-up that is trying to merge handmade with an app, a Los Angeles technology company that is trying to reinvent how clothing is resold and the third client is Silhouette International brand of eyeglasses and sunglasses. | 2019-04-20T14:30:21 | https://wwd.com/fashion-news/fashion-scoops/disrobed-author-syl-tang-clothing-can-predict-the-economy-world-issues-and-the-future-11023965/ |
Meath will renew their rivalry with Dublin in the O'Byrne Cup semi-final next weekend after registering a 1-20 to 1-13 victory over Wexford in Enniscorthy.
Having lost to Longford by a point before Christmas, the Royals bounced back with a strong showing against a previously unbeaten Wexford team. They led by 0-9 to 0-5 at half-time and went 1-16 to 0-9 clear when Sean Tobin netted 19 minutes into the second half.
Substitute Donal Shanley replied with a goal for the hosts, but it was a case of too little, too late.
Longford are also through to the last four, despite drawing 1-16 apiece with Louth at Glennon Brothers Pearse Park.
A Peter Lynn goal helped the home side to a 1-12 to 1-6 interval lead, with Tadhg McEneaney raising a green flag at the other end. However, Louth fought back to earn a share of the spoils thanks to Declan Byrne's late equalising point. Longford will face either Kildare or Westmeath, who meet tomorrow at The Downs, in the semi-final.
Meanwhile, John Maughan is still awaiting his first win as Offaly manager after the Faithful County were edged out by Carlow on a 3-12 to 2-14 scoreline at Netwatch Cullen Park. Both teams were out of contention for the knockout stages beforehand.

She's been seen online 66 million times, but the D.C. government still won't let her get a new license.
Virginia McLaurin, who danced with the Obamas in her visit to the White House, was denied her request for a D.C. Department of Motor Vehicles non-drivers’ photo ID. She is 107 years old.
Plenty of people recognize Virginia McLaurin these days. The 107-year-old woman became an Internet sensation after the White House posted video of her joyfully dancing with the Obamas. The video has been viewed nearly 66 million times.
But that recognition isn't enough for Washington, D.C.'s Department of Motor Vehicles, which won't issue McLaurin a new photo ID.
In an interview with The Washington Post, McLaurin described how she lost her photo ID years ago when her purse was stolen. She and her son recently met with a DMV official to try to replace it. But because of strict new federal guidelines, she needs to show her birth certificate to get a new ID. And in order to get her birth certificate from South Carolina, she needs to show photo ID.
"I don't think I’ll ever get that face card,” McLaurin told The Washington Post. "I was birthed by a midwife and the birthday put in a Bible somewhere. I don’t know if they even had birth certificates back then."
She has a temporary ID, but that won't work if she wants to fly, for example.
McLaurin is, however, still able to vote. That's because Washington, D.C., doesn't require photo ID in order to cast a ballot. But in many other states, McLaurin wouldn't be so fortunate.
Seventeen states have some sort of photo ID law in place for the 2016 elections, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. In recent years, GOP politicians across the nation have pushed through a number of measures restricting access to the ballot box. These laws tend to disproportionately affect African-American, Latino, elderly and low-income voters -- who also, not coincidentally, generally support Democrats.
"It's sad to see my mother having to stand in lines, getting tired," Felipe Cardoso, McLaurin's son, said. "She can’t understand how her picture could be in all those newspapers and all over the Internet, how so many people could recognize her on the street and want to take selfies with her, and she can’t even get a photo ID."
UPDATE: April 26 -- D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser announced Tuesday that the city was expanding the list of acceptable documents required to obtain a District-issued Real ID for D.C. residents age 70 and older.
Bowser and other D.C. officials visited McLaurin Tuesday afternoon to help her complete the necessary paperwork, according to The Washington Post. She received a temporary ID that will be valid until her permanent one arrives in the mail.
"I thank the Lord, Mayor Bowser, and everyone who helped me get my photo ID renewed," McLaurin said. "I am especially happy to know that now all seniors in D.C., will be able to get an ID more easily." | 2019-04-19T11:08:34 | https://www.huffpost.com/entry/virginia-mclaurin-photo-id_n_571e441be4b0d4d3f723efec?ir=Black+Voices |
Going forwards, our aim is to bring the best of both Overleaf and ShareLaTeX together in a way that benefits everyone. The ShareLaTeX team has done a fantastic job of building a truly real time collaborative LaTeX editing environment, including a great new tracked changes feature, intelligent help for common LaTeX errors, and amazing resources for learning LaTeX. The Overleaf team has at the same time been busy working on its WYSIWYG editing tools for users new to LaTeX and its partnerships with journals, publishers and publisher back-end systems that enable direct submission and streamlined editorial workflows for over 10,000 journals. By working together, we can finally avoid duplicating our efforts when we're both trying to achieve the same goals. | 2019-04-19T23:09:18 | http://paperpools.blogspot.com/2017/07/shoulder-to-shoulder.html |
Should I Prepare A Budget?
By all means, prepare a budget. Many people have never prepared a budget before meeting with me and many have never thoroughly discussed finances with their spouse.
All families need a financial plan. Everyone needs to know where their money goes. Think about what you need vs. what you want. Save now, pay later and you will save lots of money on interest payments. Don't ignore expenses that don't come up every month, like car taxes, clothing, car or house repairs, and medical or dental visits.
Many clients tell me that they used their credit cards for emergencies, but most things that they call emergencies are things that we all should know will happen to us.
If you drive a car, it will need repairs, new tires and oil changes. If you are a human being, you will need to see a dentist, get medical attention, and buy medicines. If you own a home, it will need maintenance, the plumbing fixed, new appliances, and a new roof every twenty or so years. The things we usually call emergencies are things we can all expect to happen.
For a budget to balance, you must plan for these things by putting money away each month so it is there when you need it. | 2019-04-20T01:05:47 | http://robicsek.com/id79.html |
Like most Jewish observances, Shabbat has a unique liturgy that is recited during communal prayer. But there are also a number of blessings that are traditionally recited in the home on Friday evening.
Baruch ata Adonai, Eloheinu Melech ha-olam, asher kidshanu b’mitzvotav vitzivanu l’hadlik ner shel Shabbat.
Blessed are You, God, Ruler of the universe, who sanctified us with the commandment of lighting Shabbat candles.
Some people recite just the regular blessing over wine before the Friday night meal.
Blessed are You, God, Ruler of the universe, who creates the fruit of the vine.
Yom ha-shishi. Vay’chulu hashamayim v’ha-aretz v’chol tz’va’am. Vay’chal Elohim bayom hash’vi’i milachto asher asa. Vayishbot bayom hash’vi’i mikol milachto asher asa. Vay’varech Elohim et yom hash’vi’i vay’kadesh oto. Kee vo shabbat mi-kol m’lachto asher bara Elohim la’asot.
Savri maranan v’rabanan v’rabotai. Baruch ata Adonai, Eloheinu melech ha-olam, borei p’ri hagafen.
Baruch ata Adonai, Eloheinu melech ha-olam, asher kid’shanu b’mitzvotav v’ratza vanu, v’shabbat kod’sho b’ahava uv’ratzon hinchilanu, zikaron l’ma’aseh b’reishit. Ki hu yom t’chila l’mikra-ay kodesh, zaycher l’tziat mitzrayim. Ki vanu vacharta v’otanu kidashta mikol ha’amim. V’shabbat kod-shi-cha b’ahava uv’ratzon hinchal tanu. Baruch ata Adonai, mi’kadesh ha Shabbat.
Baruch ata Adonai, Eloheinu Melech ha-olam, asher kidshanu b’mitzvotav vitzivanu al n’tilat yadayim.
Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, who has sanctified us with Your commandments, and command us concerning the washing of the hands.
After the washing of hands, some people have the custom of remaining silent until bread is eaten. Prior to eating the bread, the following blessing is recited.
Baruch ata Adonai, Eloheinu Melech ha-olam, hamotzi lechem min ha’aretz.
Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, who has brought forth bread from the earth.
After the meal, some families have the tradition of reciting Birkat Hamazon (sometimes called benching). This lengthy blessing, whose recitation is required after any meal that includes bread, includes multiple expressions of gratitude to God for providing food and sustenance to the Jewish people. On Shabbat, it is preceded by an additional Psalm and, if three adults (in some traditions, three adult males) have eaten together, by a short invitation to prayer known as a zimmun.
The full text can be found in most bentchers, small booklets containing the blessing after the meal and other festive songs. You can purchase a bentcher here or at your local Judaica store. They also are frequently distributed at weddings and bar/bat mitzvah celebrations.
Read the full text of Birkat Hamazon in Hebrew and English here.
This song welcoming the “angels of peace” is commonly sung at the outset of the meal, prior to the blessing over wine. You can learn more about it and other Shabbat songs (and listen to them) here.
Introduced by the Jewish mystics in the 17th century, this melody is sung as a tribute to the woman of the house, normally right after Shalom Aleichem.
Some parents have the custom of blessing their children on Friday night with words adapted from the priestly blessing.
Singing festive hymns is a common practice at the Shabbat table. There are a number of traditional ones, many of them composed by the ancient Jewish mystics. You can listen to some traditional ones here.
A searchable database of Shabbat song recordings and lyrics can be found here. | 2019-04-25T18:04:01 | https://www.myjewishlearning.com/article/shabbat-blessings/ |

The event began with the musical sounds from Relentless band followed by VIBE while OMG band closed off the night.
Patrons were treated to a fashion show hosted by Mr Nice Guy clothing store located in Spanish Town, Virgin Gorda, while booth vendors catered to the palate of patrons with local food and drinks.
Sharing the same sentiments, residents who attended the VG Easter Festival expressed to our newsroom that this year’s festival turned out to be a “success” despite the scale down.
In an interview with Vivian T. Simmonds, a resident of Virgin Gorda, she expressed that the venue should become a “permanent spot” for the festival.
One booth owner stated that despite the scale down, the festival was very “festive” and she appreciated everyone who came out to support the event.
Jamal N. Francis, a resident of Tortola, commented that he was very anxious to see how the festivities would turn out because he did not have “high expectations” for the festival.
Speaking with a Virgin Gorda resident, she said that she “really loved” that the festival was small and “appreciated” the local bands that participated.
“This should be a regular thing where more local bands are featured during the festivities of the territory rather than have so much international artistes. I am not saying there should not be international artistes because we have expatriates here too but this is a time that we are celebrating our culture and featuring more of our local bands should be more supported," she said.
how much money was spent by government on this event?
From the photos, it seems as if it was just how Easter was meant to be celebrated on VG. | 2019-04-21T04:30:46 | http://www.virginislandsnewsonline.com/en/news/vg-easter-festival-wraps-up-with-beach-picnic-family-fun-day/ |

is finding a matching set of four chairs!
Single chairs are everywhere, but it's not so easy to find a nice set.
This set came from the same barn sale as Megan's Paris Grey Vanity/Desk you saw last time.
Don't they look nice and pretty now?
Chairs take forever to paint, so I used Behr's Ultra Premium Plus paint and primer in one in a soft green called Wasabi Powder. At least that eliminated the priming step.
The fabric was a remnant I'd picked up at another barn sale a few months ago. I was planning to make some pillows. But I love the cream and green combination and I had just enough fabric for the four chairs.
When recovering chairs, I always replace the foam and batting. It's just a good idea to start clean, fresh and cushy!
but a lovely set of four!
I think they'd look dreamy around a cream or natural wood table!
Cottage green is perfect. I love green. I like the seat covers too!
Love these pretty chairs! The fabric is lovely.
love the chairs the color looks beautiful on them!
I love your little chairs. The paint and fabric totally transform them!
Congrats on finding the set...that's way cool!!!
Great find! I am on the hunt for 6 chairs...last year I passed up a set that was only $75/set...and am still kicking myself (i was out of town at the time...but still!). LOVE that wasabi color!
Gosh, they look so much better! Thanks for linking up over at Club G.W. with Charm Bracelet Diva. Love to see you there!
SCORE! Love the quilted fabric seats! Thanks for linking to Wicked Awesome Wednesday!
Very nice... so true, a set is hard to find. These look great! Thanks for linking this post up to Share the Love Wednesday!
These turned out SO wonderful! The color you chose is awesome! Green is so soothing! Great job!
What a terrific score, Sharon! You're so right. It's hard to find that many nice chairs, at a good price, and in decent condition.
Thanks for joining the party again this week.
They look so fresh in that shade of green! They're great chairs, and good for you to find four of them!
Good job! I like the fabric you've used.
I love your chairs! And how wonderful to find FOUR!!
Love your set of chairs. I agree, a set is so much nicer. Love the green and cream. You did a very nice job with the makeover.
you did a great job! I would love them around my white table!
ok, so regarding the paint you recommend..do you have to sand?
I think the fabric is totally perfect. These will sell in a heart beat. Thank you for linking up to Open House Party. I sure do appreciate it!
I seriously LOVE these!! If I had room for them and could get them from your place to mine I would be there in a heartbeat. LOL! The fabric choice was perfect too. Thanks so much for sharing this at Inspiration Friday!
How lucky to find more than one chair! They turned out so perfect! Thanks for linking up, I love the transformation!
They look very nice! i really like the soft green color!
These chairs came out gorgeous! I love the green - very smart to use the primer and paint in one!! Can I come to the barn sales with you - you find such great stuff!! Thanks for linking up to Saturday Social!
Sheesh...I wish we had barn sales out here!
What a beautiful set of chairs! I love the carved detail on the backs. Perfect color and fabric choices (as always)! | 2019-04-18T13:25:17 | http://www.elizabethandcovintage.com/2011/08/cottage-green-chairs.html |

1) How did you manage the space of the dashboard? Meaning, how did you plan for it to be on a canvas 8 x 11 or something smaller? I fear that when it gets published, it will be too big for the space it gets published too so I want to make sure I stay within a limited space.
2) Does anyone know some best practices when it comes to publishing a dashboard? Can it be published on the BOBJ portal or another way using HTML? Can it be done using PPT or another Microsoft Office tool? I've read many different answers but none seem to be repeating so I don't know where I can find a single source of truth for publishing a dashboard.
You can publish to BW, BI platform, HANA, etc. per Karol's blog. It depends on your use case.
The link to Perceptual Edge is really helpful - thanks again. I was looking for something a little more concrete to Design Studio. I have read many papers and watched many videos so I am familiar with the concepts of how to set up Dashboards, the dos and donts, and the guidelines presented in his articles. I was hoping to get more insight on the tool itself. I am very familiar with Dashboard Design and I found it easy to play around with canvas size. Since I have never published a Dashboard from Design Studio, I don't know what to expect as the sizing.
Regardless, thanks again for your continuous help!
This is covered in the product documentation, but the deployments that are supported are either on the SAP BusinessObjects Platform, SAP Netweaver BW Platform (BI Java Portal), and HANA. Each deployment has different caveats such as Mobile support and other limitations so depending on which is important will drive the best option. The details are covered in the PAM on SAP's support site. EDIT: Definitely visit the link Tammy gave, it will help you locate this information quicker if you are not familiar with charting course through SAP's Support Site.
Thank you for your prompt response. Like I just mentioned to Tammy, I just wanted to see if people had any tips and tricks with Design Studio specifically, to make sure I don't get something out of proportion or something too small when it is published.
There are three properties (height, width, margins) which specify the position and size of the components in design studio application.
All you have to do is to keep one of these three dynamic for each axis (set to auto). i.e for the width of a component, set one of the width , left margin or right margin to auto, and for height, set one of the top margin, bottom margin or the height to auto. The components will itself adjust to reduced window size.
If you set the height and width of the crosstab to fixed values, one property of each axis is set to auto.
I've just come across this post and thought I could add to your question 1 discussion. | 2019-04-24T08:25:05 | https://answers.sap.com/questions/11447018/index.html |
30. Moreover, no one is judged from the natural man, thus not so long as he lives in the natural world, for man is then in a natural body; but every one is judged in the spiritual man, and therefore when he comes into the spiritual world, for man is then in a spiritual body. It is the spiritual in man which is judged, but not the natural, for this cannot be held guilty of any fault or crime, since it does not live of itself, but is only the servant, and instrument by which the spiritual man acts (see n. 24). Hence also it is, that judgment is effected upon men when they have put off their natural, and put on their spiritual bodies. In the spiritual body moreover, man appears such as he is with respect to love and faith, for every one in the spiritual world is the effigy of his own love, not only as to the face and the body, but also as to the speech and the actions (see the work on Heaven and Hell, n. 481). Hence it is, that the qualities of all are known, and they are immediately separated, whenever the Lord pleases. From what has been said it is plain, that judgment is effected in the spiritual world, but not in the natural world, or on the earth. | 2019-04-19T05:14:44 | http://smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=lj§ion=30 |
Started in 2015, Soul Potato is an International comfort food place that specializes in mashed potatoes, offering familiar flavors with their own style and twist.
Chef Juno Ang and Matet De Leon, whose both husbands are chefs, are good friends and loved the idea of different potato dishes as well as serving different cuisines in one place. They then decided to put up Soul Potato here in Pioneer St Market to explore dishes that would appeal to all markets. The dream was to offer proper culinary cooked food, delicious with big servings and of course, an affordable price range.
Shepherd's Pie. Mashed potatoes, tomato, corn, ground beef, garlic. It's mashed potato with a great twist. The combination of the beef and potatoes is very sating.
Southern Chicken Tenders. (Beside the Shepherd's Pie). Tender chicken. Tastes like usual chicken breast.
Soul Potato now has 3 branches, one in Pioneer St Market, Mandaluyong, one in Hangouts Food Park, Camarin Caloocan, and one in Mayaman St. corner Maginhawa St. | 2019-04-26T16:17:09 | https://www.phantasmdarkstar.com/2016/09/pioneer-street-market-soul-potato-1116.html |

How Do You Include Your Employees?
Employees want to feel valued in their work, and they often times have great ideas to share. How does your company work to make sure your employees are heard and valued? Is your company’s communication the best that it can be?
I heard a great idea that one company does to make sure all employees are “kept in the loop” and their ideas are shared across the board. There is a retail location that keeps an employee log – after each shift, employees are responsible for writing a summary of any issues that came up during their shift, such as register issues, problem customers, issues between employees, etc. They can also share ideas in this log.
At the beginning of each shift, there is a quick meeting with the staff to review the day before’s log so issues can be resolved and discussed. Employees are rewarded for great things that happen and any upcoming events or ideas are shared.
Employees report that this is a great way to communicate and they feel as though they are a part of the company operations. I can imagine that employee morale is higher than it might be at other companies.
What does your company do to make employees feel valued and a part of the team? I’d love to hear your ideas!

Launched in 2009, the International Health Policies Network (IHP Network) is an initiative of the Health Policy Unit at the Institute of Tropical Medicine, Antwerp (ITM). Over the last 3 years, the IHP network has been part of the 2014-16 DGD framework agreement project “Collaborative knowledge management in international health policy and financing”, together with the Communities of Practice.
networking with other global health actors.
The weekly International Health Policies (IHP) newsletter (English) and fortnightly Politiques Internationales de Santé (PIS) (in French, and an output of the Health Services Delivery Community of Practice) are key outputs of the Network and support the knowledge management and networking pillars of the Network.
As mentioned, the IHP Network also aims to boost synergies with actors and networks from the south with a similar agenda and values. It is a key stakeholder in the Emerging Voices program, often playing an active role in supporting young researchers from the South in sharing their work and experiences across platforms and at the HSR symposia.
Members of the Network are encouraged and supported towards networking opportunities, particularly in engaging in global and regional conferences, workshops or networking events.
The weekly International Health Policies newsletter is the flagship activity of the IHP network and provides a curated listing of the week’s key global health (policy) news, events and publications. The newsletter highlights and synthesizes key health knowledge resources on issues relevant in the SDG and planetary health era, including Universal Health Coverage, AMR, global health security and the need for resilient health systems, among others. The newsletter also presents feature articles and blogs by a network of young and experienced global health practitioners, mostly from the South.
the remainder of the newsletter is divided into thematic sections (such as Infectious diseases & NTDs, NCDs, Human Resources for Health; etc.).
The sections follow each other in the pdf and email versions of the newsletter. On the website, the introduction is featured on the homepage, with the latest feature article and blogs accessible from the links on the right-side of the page. The listings can be accessed through the menu above. If you’re on a smartphone, scroll below the introduction for the articles and blogs, and use the menu feature (top right) to access the listings. If you’re short of time, the “Highlights of the week” section is essential.
We welcome contributions in the form of editorials and blogs (500-800 words). Guest writers can comment on a ‘hot’ topic, trend or event in global health, or can highlight a health issue that they feel is being neglected on the global health scene. Writers can also propose an article on the links between their PhD research and the global health agenda, provide timely comments on a conference or other global health event they recently attended… Plenty of options, in other words.
While the newsletter focuses on writers from the Global South, we also welcome contributions from people based in the North. If you wish to contribute, please contact Kristof Decoster (ITM) at [email protected] Also use the same email account if you want to suggest articles or other publications which you deem relevant for the weekly newsletter.
The Editorial board reserves the right to feature the blogposts and editorials that appear on IHP on other blogs (in accordance with agreements with partner blogs), i.e. crossposting. Credit will always be given on these sites to the original author and to the IHP website, where the post appeared first, and vice versa (i.e. posts that appeared first on other sites and are then cross-posted on IHP, will give due credit to the platform where they appeared first). | 2019-04-19T20:36:41 | http://www.internationalhealthpolicies.org/about-ihp/ |

Next, I will touch upon GVO’s GotBackup, which is a first of its kind unlimited cloud storage home based business opportunity.

This Committee started off investigating pro-German sentiments in the U.S. liquor industry. It then evolved into a full anti-Bolshevik hunt and become the first Red Scare.
This committee examined people and organisations suspected of being involved in communist activities in the United States.
Investigated Nazi propaganda, as well as communist propaganda, and anyone associated with either.
Investigated communist affiliations especially in the arts community. Also proposed interning Japanese Americans into camps – which the government then did.
Anti-communist investigations into arts and movie industries, and broad-ranging investigations into government institutions.
HUAC led to the Communist Control Act of 1954. This law, still in force, outlaws the communist party of the United States, and outlaws membership, and outlaws all supporting activities.
In June 2016, former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich advocated the creation of a new House Un-American Activities, in order to combat Islamic terrorism.
The precedents are not good, but public pressure and media pressure can be successful in curbing this kind of political investigation.
The title of this post recalls the Irish song of parting, especially in the last line.
How much a better place this world would be if the lyrics below were a model for nation’s behaviour- spending our money ‘in good company’ and the only harm being done is not to others.
The third couplet about want of it and loss of memory however is far too prevalent amongst out politicians, or so they say.
But mostly, how good it would be to wish everyone joy with all the effort and action required to bring joy to all.
In this struggle that we have now with the new iteration of evil and harm in this world, we must not forget the power of song, both to give ourselves support and strength, but also to excoriate the evil-doers, to expose and criticise and shame.
The HUAC was not just confined to America. It was not uncommon for individuals in countries closely associated with America to also find themselves targeted – and that included NZ. As we now know, the CIA was very active in Australia, NZ, Canada, Britain and other western nations. It was common for individuals who [perhaps] were outspoken or critical of American activities at that time to be harassed, intimidated and in some cases outlawed without ever having any recourse to justice. My father experienced it in the 1970s.
It may not be fascism yet Ad but it has the potential to become so – especially if leaders choose to be submissive and weak as happened prior to WW2. We have seen it thus far with Theresa May and our newly minted leader, Bill English.
We are not far removed from another Kristallnacht.
Yes the witch hunts of the American yesteryear are predictive of the appalling behaviour we are about to witness yet again in the US. There will a long hard fight back against this tyranny. Of that we can be sure.
Still sad to be reminded of all that. Sometimes it’s the little things that are the most heartbreaking of all.
In the Occupied West Bank, it’s an ongoing Kristallnacht….
I’m far from surprised as at this escalation of violence and irrational behaviour in the US. Anyone with half a brain knew that this would be the result of placing a spoilt brat in the White House.
Now we know why he’s so keen to stay with Queen Elizabeth of Great Britain. He thinks he’s royalty… King Dunny Donald of America.
Gezz! And to think thousands of early Americans died to remove themselves from the vicissitudes of a Despotic King!
To be fair to the Queen I doubt she is looking forward to hosting King Donald. In fact I expect she is filled with horror at the prospect. But she has to do what her prime minister tells her to do.
If you’d like to read his fine book.
Hard to guess if this will be worse, I see anonymous are saying it could be in there latest video.
The common thread thought out this wave after wave of reactionary, is the increased power of the centralized state. I think we can call the ‘tea party’ Muppet’s on this about now.
The Tea Partyers were never supporters of greater central government – just the opposite, they supported decentralised power from federal to state governments and from government to the individual.
And if they had half a brain between them, they would have understood all his rhetoric has one common theme, all power to him – thus a centralized state.
Fromm was fine. For then.
Try Canetti’s ‘Crowds and Power’.
He got the dynamics cold that still apply now.
I was racking my brain on that book. I think I’ve read it, by the synopsis that I’ve looked at. But I’m sorely tempted to hunt it out, and read again.
While not disagreeing with the post or Trump’s bigly douchebaginess, it’s interesting how quick ‘we’ all are to chastise ‘merica when they display behaviour that’s pretty much de rigeur for many other major powers.
Do we hold the US to a higher standard than we have any reason or right to ?
Do we hold the US to a higher standard than we have any reason or right to?
America holds itself to a higher standard through its frequent claims of exceptionalism, leading back to the framing of the constitution itself.
Obviously you need a lesson or two in American history. Their behaviour in the last the 240 years has been nothing short of economic bullying and gun-ship diplomacy.
If you claim (long and loud) to be a Saint, expect to be told when you ain’t.
It’s a shame really. They actually do have the potential to be “the good guys” that they claim to be. | 2019-04-22T09:02:45 | https://thestandard.org.nz/good-night-and-good-luck/ |
In the second of the new series taking a retrospective look on an entire series of films, I focus my attentions on the popular Final Destination franchise.
This incredibly successful Final Destination movies thrilled cinema-goers from 2000, right up until 2011 when the final instalment (for now) was released. The future of the franchise however is looking uncertain with no official announcements about a 6th edition since late 2011.
Warner Bros. may be missing a trick with this however as each film in the series has been commercially successful. The five films as a whole have grossed over $650million worldwide on a total budget of $150million. Without further ado, let’s see how this franchise holds up to scrutiny. Oh, and feel free to check out the first in the series, Jurassic Park. Be warned, this article contains some gory images.
Released 17 years ago in March 2000, Final Destination revolutionised the teen-slasher genre for 00s after Scream did so well for the 90s generation of horror buffs.
The premise was perfectly realised as high-school students tried their best to cheat death after a horrific disaster. The plane sequence in this film still holds up today and remains one of the best horror moments in the last couple of decades.
The acting on the other hand, left a lot to be desired. Though a young Devon Sawa was a magnetic leading presence.
With a slick filming style and better characters, Final Destination 2 improved on its predecessor in almost every way.
The main disaster, a stunning motorway pile-up, is filmed to an exceptional standard with very little in the way of CGI and this makes way for more inventive deaths that have become talking points for fans of the franchise and converts alike.
Taking a more mythical approach, the violence comes thick and fast and this remains the second best edition of the series.
Unfortunately, Final Destination 3 was an absolute disaster. What’s even more of a shame was that the incredibly talented Mary Elizabeth Winstead had to suffer through such an ordeal.
Moving away from the series’ horror roots and opting for a campy, horror-comedy vibe doesn’t sit well and the tasteless reference to 9/11 only sours the film further.
The main disaster, a rollercoaster accident, is reasonably inventive but lacks the exceptional practical effects that made the motorway pile-up in Final Destination 2 so deliciously enjoyable to watch.
Touted to be the last film in the series, The Final Destination is even more disappointing than its predecessor and thankfully not the final outing for the franchise.
Utilising sloppy 3D effects that cheapened the film’s look was a bad move by director David R. Ellis and even the main disaster was uninspiring to watch – a NASCAR race just didn’t cut it after already having a vehicular disaster in Final Destination 2. The climax however, staged in a cinema, is incredibly clever.
Add to this some truly dreadful acting and awful dialogue and it makes for a low-point that thankfully was reversed just two years later. Unbelievably, this was also the most successful of the series.
Steven McQuale comes to the series for the first time and makes by far the biggest impact. With a beautifully filmed main disaster taking place on a suspension bridge, Final Destination 5 is unusually, the high-point in the franchise.
With decent acting and a clever twist on the story that won’t be spoilt here, it’s the definitive option for fans of the series and a film you can watch again and again without losing the enjoyment.
Negatives? Well, there’s some cheap 3D effects, but that doesn’t really matter too much at home and the attempts at humour fall flat for the most part, but this is right up there with the original for sheer entertainment. This has by far some of the most inventive Final Destination deaths of the entire series.

Oh, oh! Pick me! It's Mary Poppins! Having effectively named that movie for all who may or may not have known the answer, I feel the need to add my two cents to the "stuffs of Everead."
As a firm believer in the power of words, I've witnessed many ways that books bring us together as friends, commentators, meliorists, and just plain human beings. This blog is a physical representation of that: two people randomly brought together by circumstance, building a lasting friendship with a love of books as a common ground. It happens all the time, and this time when it happened Everead was born. It started with two of us talking about the books we've been reading, and now we begin to share those conversations with the world.
Now, lest I sound too lofty, ideal, and downright pompous, let me caution any readers of this blog: we are not professionals, in fact we may or may not be very good at this whole book-critique game. That's for you to decide. Leave us your comments, agree or disagree, and join the conversation. This is the nature of Everead. | 2019-04-25T16:06:26 | http://www.evereadbooks.com/2008/07/ |

Andrew Olsen a concept artist at Robot Entertainment along with programmer Shovaen Patel have been featured on the AIAS website. AIAS is the Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences. The prestigious website features studios that are part of the over 20,000 strong academy. These interviews are some of the very first to be featured on the website and give a great insight into how Andrew and Shovaen broke into the gaming industry.
Andrew graduated from the Ringling College of Art and Design with a BFA in Illustration and went on to join n-Space and worked on numerous Nintendo DS games. After 2 years he decided to travel back down to Dallas and found his way to his home at Robot Entertainment working on all six games released by the studio so far. Thats Age of Empires Online, Hero Academy, Echo Prime, Orcs Must Die! 1 and 2, and Orcs Must Die! Unchained.
Getting to work on Age of Empires Online was a great experience. That franchise is very nostalgic for me. I even remember being in 5th grade and Age of Empires was the first game on our family computer. I wish I could go tell my 10 year old self that I’d be painting concepts for an AoE game in the future!
Shovaen studied at The Guildhall at SMU studying video game software development. After graduating he scored a job immediately at Robot Entertainment and hasnt looked back since.
It ended up being an easy decision, because Robot is an awesome place to work and an incredible place to start a career in games, with our history and our core group of veteran developers.
He is currently the Robot looking after the programming of the bots in OMDU.
Be sure to check out both of these excellent interviews over at the AIAS website on the link below. Many interesting topics are discussed including where they think the industry his heading in the future. | 2019-04-18T10:51:21 | http://remember-ensemblestudios.com/2014/10/robot-entertainment-staffers-featured-on-the-aias-website/ |

So with the best of my abilities I still cannot determine correct way to play if a player plays a Necromancer to play a Mining Village card from the Trash pile.
By "... simply doing exactly what the cards say...' it seems (a horrible assumption it seems when asking a question in the forum, but I am going to ask anyways), that a player would get "+2", because I could not find a ruling that said where Trashing could not happen from the trash, although 'Trash rules do state '... Trashing a card usually means removing it permanently from your deck...' but then again the word 'usually' is there, so thus my question to clarify if my question.
Re: Necromancing a Mining Village?
The rules for Mining Village itself make clear that you cannot trash a Mining Village that is already in the Trash.
Also, that you do not get the +$2 unless you trash it.
Necromancer can be used on a card that trashes itself when played; if the card checks to see if it was trashed (such as Pixie), it was not, but if the card does not check (such as Tragic Hero), it will function normally. | 2019-04-25T10:34:11 | http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=19654.msg798003 |

Star Washington Wizards guard Gilbert Arenas, 28, appeared in the D.C. Superior Court to be sentenced for the gun crime he admitted to in January. He has been spared a jail term.
Washington Wizards guard Gilbert Arenas pleaded guilty Friday in D.C. Superior Court to a felony count of carrying a pistol without a license, leaving his NBA career in jeopardy.
As part of a plea deal, prosecutors agreed not to ask for more than six months in jail for Arenas. He will remain free at least until he is sentenced on March 26 by Superior Court Judge Robert E. Morin.
Morin is not bound by the plea agreement -- a fact he emphasized in court -- and could sentence Arenas to anywhere from probation to a maximum five years in jail. The former all-star was released after agreeing to surrender his passport and not possess any handguns.
Arenas, 28, has been the face of the Wizards since he arrived in Washington in 2003. He has four years remaining on his six-year, $111 million contract, but the NBA has suspended him indefinitely and the team has not publicly supported its star since the gun incident. On Friday, the team issued a terse statement saying officials were disappointed in Arenas. "Gilbert used extremely poor judgment and is ultimately responsible for his own actions," the statement said. He likely is done playing at least for this season. Adidas announced late Friday it was ending its relationship with Arenas, whom it had sponsored since 2003.
During his court appearance, Arenas showed little of the engaging personality that has made his No. 0 jersey ubiquitous at Verizon Center. He walked into the courthouse wearing a gray flannel pinstriped suit and answered questions from Morin with simple "yes, sir" and "no, sir" responses. Those questions included whether he had agreed to plead guilty and waive his right to a trial.
The charges stem from the now-infamous incident in the Wizards' locker room at Verizon Center on Dec. 21. At the hearing Friday, Assistant U.S. Attorney Chris Kavanaugh filled in some of the details of the confrontation between Arenas and teammate Javaris Crittenton, without mentioning Crittenton by name.
On Dec. 19, the team flew on a chartered flight to the Washington area from Phoenix. Arenas and Crittenton got into an argument over a card game. Crittenton suggested a fistfight. But Arenas said he was too old to fight and instead said he would burn Crittenton's vehicle or shoot him in the face. Crittenton then told Arenas he would "shoot the [expletive]" out of Arenas and shoot Arenas in his surgically repaired left knee. Arenas later told Wizards employees that he was joking about the threats.
On Dec. 21, at about 9:30 a.m., Arenas arrived at Verizon Center for practice. He came into the locker room wearing a black backpack with a silver Smith & Wesson .500 magnum revolver inside. He then placed four guns on the chair directly in front of Crittenton's locker. Arenas wrote "PICK 1" on a piece of paper and placed it on Crittenton's chair near the guns. Arenas said he also was joking about that.
When Crittenton saw the guns, he said, "What is this?"
Arenas told Crittenton, "You said you were going to shoot me, so pick one." Crittenton said he did not need Arenas's guns because he had his own. Crittenton picked up one of the guns from the chair and threw it across the locker room. Crittenton then displayed his own silver-colored, semiautomatic handgun, the prosecutor said.
After the incident, Arenas collected the guns, placed them inside his locker and then put them in a suitcase. He gave the suitcase to another Wizards teammate and told him to take it take it to Arenas's car in the garage. Prosecutors said there was no evidence that the teammate knew what was inside the suitcase.
When the unnamed teammate went to the garage, he did not know which vehicle belonged to Arenas. So the player left the suitcase in the garage. Minutes later, Wizards management learned about the incident and met with Arenas. He admitted he brought the guns from his home in Virginia into Washington. He also told management that Crittenton had a gun.
Wizards management then told security guards to grab the suitcase and remove it from Verizon Center. Arenas led a member of the security staff to the garage and pointed out the suitcase. The security officer then took the guns back to Virginia.
On Dec. 24, attorneys for the Wizards and Arenas told the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District about the incident. Authorities then seized the four guns from Arenas's house in Virginia, including the .500 magnum; a .50-caliber gold-plated semiautomatic Desert Eagle with a magazine; a .45-caliber, black semiautomatic Kimber Eclipse with a magazine; and a 9mm Browning with a magazine.
Now, Arenas must wait until March to learn his fate. Prosecutors and Arenas's lawyer will both issue sentencing recommendations to Morin. Morin will consider those requests along with a mandatory report from the court services division, which will interview Arenas and others. Arenas also must turn himself in to D.C. police by Jan. 29 to be fingerprinted and officially booked.
His attorney, Kenneth L. Wainstein, issued a statement saying Arenas "accepted full responsibility for his actions." NBA Players Association chief Billy Hunter said in a statement that the union is "committed to aggressively representing him."
Arenas could have been charged with four counts of illegal gun possession -- one for each of the pistols in the locker room. But as part of the plea agreement, he faces one charge, making it more likely that he'll avoid much jail time, the sources said. As part of the deal, prosecutors agreed not to bring any more charges. | 2019-04-22T21:14:26 | http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/01/15/AR2010011502656.html |

Tired of a decade’s worth of chronic legislative underfunding of transportation infrastructure, Independence Institute* President Jon Caldara drafted a ballot initiative titled “Fix Our Damn Roads” that requires the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) to issue $3.5 billion in bonds no later than July 1, 2019 to do so.
The Colorado Secretary of State approved the measure, now known as Proposition 109, onto the 2018 ballot Thursday, Aug. 22. Caldara submitted 169,568 petition signatures, of which 112,872 were deemed valid through a random sampling process. 98,492 valid signatures were required qualify for the ballot.
Caldara says that the measure is necessary because the Legislature can’t seem to prioritize highway maintenance properly these days. “Once we expanded Obamacare in Colorado, that was the end of funding our roads,” he said.
“Fix Our Damn Roads,” now blandly retitled by the state as “Authorize Bonds for Transportation Projects” in an act that Caldara characterizes as “80 percent bureaucratic and 20 percent prudish,” will be in first position for propositions on the ballot.
The measure mandates that the maximum cost of $5.2 billion, paid over 20 years, be repaid without raising taxes or fees. The restriction on raising fees addresses the penchant of the state for using fee increases as a way to circumvent Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights (TABOR) restrictions. The borrowed money and interest are expressly excluded from TABOR.
The $3.5 billion CDOT will have access to must be used for road and bridge expansion, construction, maintenance and repair on 66 projects listed in the initiative. CDOT is prohibited from transferring or using the money for any other purpose, including mass transit or multimodal projects like buses, trains or bike paths. It’s strictly to fix and improve crumbling and inadequate highway infrastructure.
Caldara doesn’t care how the Legislature comes up with the money to pay the carrying costs on the bonds, except that it cannot come from new taxes or fee increases. “It is completely up to the legislature how they wish to come up with the $260 million a year out of their $35 billion budget to do this,” he said.
But Caldara admits that while Proposition 109 will make a dent in the backlog of needed repairs and improvements, there’s much more money needed to bring the state’s roads and bridges back into repair. “If you talk to CDOT they’ll say that its $9 billion total, on roads it’s like five and a half billion dollars,” he said.
And that’s just to catch up on neglected maintenance and long-planned expansions and improvements for the projects on CDOT’s priority list. “Fix Our Damn Roads brings forth 3.5 billion dollars for CDOT’s top tier road projects that can start immediately,” said Caldara.
It doesn’t include funding for new projects like the I-25 expansion between Castle Rock and Monument that started preliminary construction this week.
Voters will likely have the opportunity to choose between Proposition 109, which does not raise taxes or fees and is dedicated to specific projects and an initiative supported by the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce (DMCC) and others that would increase the statewide sales and use tax from 2.9 percent to 3.52 percent to pay for $9.4 billion in bonds that would not have to be used to reduce the existing backlog of CDOT projects.
The funds from the DMCC initiative would be allocated as 45 percent for bond repayment and state transportation funding, 15 percent for multimodal transportation and 40 percent for municipal and county transportation projects.
As of Thursday morning, that measure had not been certified onto the ballot. | 2019-04-25T14:09:26 | https://coloradorisingaction.org/the-complete-colorado-fix-our-damn-roads-makes-the-november-ballot/ |

In the course of the past week, we saw the entire Republican convention play out with the formal nomination of Donald Trump and his acceptance speech laying out his vision and plans if elected. And we’re about to see the Democratic convention unfold, as Hilary Clinton is officially nominated candidate and formally accepts on the final night. These are historic events, we’ve often been reminded in this election cycle. But while there’s a certain ‘first ever’ historic nature in the two candidates, the reality of their party platforms and their individual visions for America—what, at the end of the day, they actually stand for and they would actually do in the Oval Office—is what America must (or should) consider now that we’ve heard Trump and prepare to hear Clinton.
In the course of the last week, we also learned the running-mates of the two candidates. While neither Trump nor Clinton are, or ever were Catholic, the two running-mates have significant connections to the Catholic Church. Trump V.P. pick Mike Pence, Governor of Indiana, was raised as a Catholic, but is now a devout Evangelical Christian. Clinton choice Tim Kaine, U.S. Senator from Virginia, is a Catholic who worked as a missionary with the Jesuits in Latin America and, according to his Pastor, still actively practices the faith.
However, it’s only on the actual position of a person—what they espouse and what they promise to do—that American citizens can make a choice. And while the Democratic ticket has the only Catholic in the race, and the Republic ticket has been called the most “anti-Catholic” in recent history (especially given Trump’s verbal spat with Pope Francis over his trademark promise to build a Wall, a promise the candidate repeated in his recent keynote speech at the Republic Convention), when it comes to life issues across the spectrum—from the womb to natural death—the platforms could not be more different.
The Democrats’ has never been more pro-abortion, (USA Today claims ‘anti-abortion’ Democrats are outraged over it) and the Republicans’ has never been more pro-life. | 2019-04-23T02:53:06 | http://www.inforumblog.com/?tag=hillary-clinton-pro-abortion |
We all know hat the ozone hole over the Antarctic is recovering. But, it is recently discovered that it will recover nearly 20 years later than previously thought — around 2068! This has been concluded by NASA and other agencies’ scientists.
A new tool, developed by NASA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the National Center for Atmospheric Research scientists has made this discovery. The tool is a math-based computer model that is capable of predicting the timing of ozone hole recovery. The findings will be published in the recent Geophysical Research Letters. | 2019-04-21T20:47:06 | https://ecofriend.org/antarctic-ozone-hole-to-recover-later-than-previously-expected/ |

In the tradition of thrillers about unassuming acquaintances who turn out to be deadly (“Misery,” “Fatal Attraction”) comes “Repentance,” a movie of modest means that nevertheless offers a fairly cohesive story and at least one standout performance. It may underplay an idea laden with potential, but at least that notion is present.
Four years after being in a car accident, Tommy Carter (Anthony Mackie) is an in-demand spiritual adviser drawing from myriad religions. On the eve of Tommy’s major book tour his brother, Ben (Mike Epps), a feckless debtor, visits, seeking aid with his bills. Fortunately, Angel Sanchez (Forest Whitaker), a father with a young daughter (Ariana Neal), is more than willing to pay Tommy’s $300-an-hour fee for help coming to terms with the death of his mother.
O.K., it’s not so fortunate: Angel traps Tommy in Angel’s New Orleans home and subjects him to physical and psychological torments, not least a demand that he confess his own sins. Eventually, Tommy’s wife (Sanaa Lathan) and Angel’s ex (Nicole Ari Parker) stop by, curious about the goings-on, as does Ben. But not before Mr. Mackie and Mr. Whitaker have conducted a bloody pas de deux, and the gifted Mr. Whitaker has demonstrated his remarkable facility with alternating endearing innocence and offhand malevolence.
The director, Philippe Caland, effectively milks the setting, New Orleans, for all its humid, decadent atmosphere and adds just a pinch of the supernatural. But this is secondary to an implicit if unbelabored subtext. What lingers after the closing credits are not the gruesome details of Tommy’s physical agonies but their meaning: the high cost to pay for being a false prophet.
'Repentance' is rated R (Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian) for vivid but not protracted torture. | 2019-04-24T10:09:25 | http://ybg.com/vipaka/nyt022814.html?_r=0 |

The story of developing BioShock is an epic one and isn't easily expressed in 10 postmortem points. The team and the game changed remarkably over the course of development. A company was acquired. The team size doubled. The product focus changed from RPG hybrid to shooter.
It's easy to talk about the processes we used to develop the game, but it's harder to describe the creative spark that somehow managed to turn the most unlikely of premises (a failed underwater art deco utopia set in the 1960s) into a marketable shooter. It took a visionary to make the creative choices to guide the game, and an incredibly talented and hardworking team to bring that vision to life.
1. Every demo tells a story.
Demos were galvanizing moments for BioShock. They led to a unified team vision, identification of problems and solutions, external excitement, and internal support. For example, the project was signed after GameSpot ran an exclusive feature based on a single-room graphics demo.
Since BioShock was a relatively unknown IP outside the game development community, the public's impression of it would be critical to building the buzz we needed to make it a commercial success. As a result, every time we took the game out in public, we put great thought into the message we wanted the demo to deliver and the level of polish of the presentation.
Our first public presentation was at E3 2006. We had developed a great deal of content before that point, but hadn't yet built a space that really demonstrated the game experience to our satisfaction. The E3 demo forced us to focus the whole team on what the user experience should be. We defined a message for the demo- player choice-and built a narrative around that message. Even though the experience was highly scripted at the time, it effectively demonstrated the feel of the game we wanted.
Another example of demo-inspired development was the "Hunting the Big Daddy" demo. Though Big Daddies and Little Sisters had been part of the game in some form since the beginning, initially the player could confront Little Sisters directly without necessarily needing to dispatch the Big Daddy that protected them.
During the development of this demo, the team discovered that with some polish and tuning changes the act of dealing with a Big Daddy could be a truly epic battle in itself. This led to the realization that Big Daddy battles should be the key to player growth, essentially providing a roving boss battle that players could undertake at a time and place of their choosing.
Another example is the graphical effects on the player's hands when using plasmids, which came out the first BioShock trailer created with Blur Studios. In that cinematic, the player uses a hypodermic needle to make his arm into a weapon; after the injection the protagonist's skin blackens and swells and angry hornets burst out of it to attack the Big Daddy.
When working with Blur to develop the trailer, we knew that the sequence didn't accurately reflect the game's visuals, but we did it because it really captured the vibe of what the "genetic modification" part of the game was all about.
One of the true successes of BioShock's development was our ability to identify and react when the game was not shaping up to become what it needed to be. For example, the first vertical slice prototype we built was an non-navigable linear corridor shooter that looked like it took place in an abandoned box factory.
It didn't provide a compelling experience as either an RPG or a shooter. In response, we threw away that prototype and started again from scratch with the goal of building a single room that felt like the ruined underwater utopia we were trying to build.
Each department went through a similar crisis moment over the course of the project. These frequently came as the result of the demos, but not always. At one point, when facing a shortfall of programmers and an overflow of tasks, we proposed removing physics objects from the game entirely in favor of having only large, constrained physics actors.
This would have allowed us to spend much less time tuning the physics of individual objects while allowing the world to seem somewhat dynamic. However, doing so would have removed a huge level of interactivity from the game, so that decision was corrected relatively quickly.
In terms of design, we created a depth and density of game systems that fit into a game about character building and choice, but would not have been competitive as an FPS. Around the time that the game went into alpha, we took a hard look at that gameplay and realized that, although there were many choices, they weren't very compelling.
This was because we hadn't been thinking as much about making a shooter as we should have, and many of our key interactions (weapons tuning, plasmids, length of AI engagement) were designed and tuned for a slower and more cerebral experience. To put it another way, nerdy RPG-like stat changes just didn't seem meaningful in the vibrant and dangerous world of Rapture.
Once we recalibrated the game to be more like a shooter, we simplified many of the deeper systems tremendously so that the user would be able to understand them. We also put more polish time into the core interactions of the game, such as the weapons, plasmids, and user interfaces. We ended up with fewer choices overall, but each one of those choices was infinitely more functional, understandable, and fun than the previous ones.
It was inevitable that we lost some progress due to these major corrections. But the team's ability to pull together and address the fundamental problems was amazing, and the results were well worth it. | 2019-04-25T23:43:11 | http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/3774/postmortem_2k_boston2k_.php |
What are dreams and where do they come from? What kinds of messages do they give us, and what areas of our lives are they concerned with? Every dream theorist seeks to formulate some general principles on the nature and purpose of dreams, and any system of dream interpretation arises within a particular culture with its own beliefs and values. Before going specifically into the Jewish view of dreams as exemplified by Almoli, let's look briefly at the ideas of the two great modern dream theorists, Freud and Jung.
For both Freud and Jung, dream theory evolved out of their practice of clinical psychiatry and the needs of their patients. Freud saw the dream as a psychological mechanism that served to keep the dreamer asleep by expressing, in disguised form, the repressed feelings and desires buried in the unconscious. Most of Freud's patients were suffering from a neurosis called hysteria, which Freud saw as resulting from the repression of some traumatic early experience, usually of a sexual nature, that was too terrible for the patient to accept consciously. The goal of treatment was to bring this repressed material to the surface. The dream, as the royal road to the unconscious, was the tool for gaining access to these buried feelings, through the technique of free association.
Jung's ideas - and his differences with Freud—were strongly influenced by his philosophical outlook. The son of a Protestant minister, Jung felt that the challenge of life was to achieve a meaningful and fulfilling existence. He regarded this task as a psychological phenomenon separate from conventional Christianity and other institutional creeds and churches. He thus saw himself as guiding his patients in areas that were formerly the domain of religion. Jung formulated his own psychological constructs, such as the complexes and archetypes, and developed concepts such as individuation, the process of attaining a wholeness and balance within the psyche through the realization of one's unique individuality and destiny.
Dreams play a central role in the process of individuation, for they are seen as the voice of the unconscious, which consists of numerous complexes and the organizing principle that Jung called the Self. Jung essentially combined religion and psychoanalysis by substituting "the unconscious" or "the Self' for what religion calls "God." The dream was elevated to a lofty position of spokesperson for this unconscious seat of wisdom.
In Almoli's view, dreams are symbolic messages from God to help individuals navigate their way through the complexities of their personal destiny. (Although we are switching back to "God" instead of "the unconscious" or "the Self," we now have an understanding of dreams similar to Jung's.) The dream is seen as part of the system of checks and balances that God introduced into His creation in order that people might lead righteous lives. Thus, a dream is either a reflection that we are on the right track and would benefit from pursuing our current direction, or it is a warning that we are missing the mark and must repent so as to avert the evil decree. This view is consistent with the traditional folk belief in dreams as omens, except that Almoli expands or elevates the idea, allowing the dream to play a part in the acquisition of knowledge. The dream is a divine gift to mankind and a blessing for those who understand its message.
It is important to distinguish between the "bad" dream that is a warning from God to change one's course and the "bad" or false dream that comes from demonic sources. Judaism posits the existence of two inclinations in the soul: the yetzer ha-tov, or good inclination, which inclines us in the direction of the righteous life, and the yetzer ha-rah, or evil inclination, which motivates us toward wickedness. A continuous conflict is assumed to exist within each person as to which inclination to follow.
The Jews have been wary of the possibility that dreams might fall into the hands of the evil inclination. A Chasidic rabbi once explained to me why he gives no value to dreams. Since the Talmud says that a dream can come from either an angel or a demon, this rabbi rationalized that he was better off ignoring all dreams, as he felt unsure of his ability to identify the source of a dream. But for Almoli, who believed that God reserved the ordinary dream to communicate His will to mankind, the demonic dream was more the exception than the rule. The rule was that dreams usually come from God and reflect His benevolent concern for human beings. | 2019-04-19T22:55:35 | http://dreamicus.com/articles/the-dream-as-personal-prophecy.html |
