Top-quality Adult males and girls are often stretching themselves, pushing them selves out in their comfort zones. These are quite conscious how quickly the consolation zone, in any region, becomes a rut. They are aware that complacency is the great enemy of creative imagination and long run choices.
But I can observe them devoid of getting also concerned. It’s not normally so uncomplicated, but understanding that i'm not my feelings is a huge help.

The unfortunate truth about our black people
There was a time where we as black people would band together shout,sing,and raise our fist in unison for the greater good….and some things slowly changed for the better.
But somewhere along the way all The years of fighting together , praying together, and dieing together we lost sight if who our enemy way , a thick cloud of smoke came up , confused our people and turned our black people on each other we foolishly compete with one another over material things even to the point of killing each other for material things.
We use to stand together , die for each other
Now we just kill each other and disrespect each other….

Be the best version of you today
So I often see quotes along the lines of “you don’t have to be better than someone else, just be better than you were yesterday”. On the one hand I totally agree with not comparing yourself to others and focusing on yourself. However, when I think about it quotes like these are still putting pressure on us, and in a world where almost everyone is stressed about something and already feeling the pressure, surely we should be trying to give ourselves a break?
So I say, you definitely don’t have to be better than anyone else, you don’t even have to be better than you were yesterday…just try and be the best version of yourself that you can be today.
Maybe today is so long and you are so tired and you really need a cuppa (that sounds very familiar!) And on those days maybe the biggest success you can have is to get out of your PJs and brush your teeth. Or maybe today you are so full of beans, ready for anything and loving life. And maybe on days like that the best version of you has a green smoothie and goes to Pilates on their lunch break and walks home from the station. And that’s great. But none of us can be that picture perfect version of ourselves every day and we shouldn’t even try to. Just go with what the day throws at you and adapt to that.
The best version of yourself will change from day to day so stop comparing yourself to who you were yesterday, or who you were before you had a baby, or before you got injured or before you put on some weight. You aren’t that person now and you will be slightly different again tomorrow. The important thing is to keep trying and acknowledging your victories, however small they may seem compared to what others do or what you have done in the past.
So today, and every day, just do you…whatever that looks like.

Locality in Quantum Computations
Aspuru-Guzik Group, Harvard
A hydrocarbon is shown along with a small piece of the quantum circuit used to determine its energy. The number of operations needed to run this circuit can be large. By considering how the magnitude of interactions decreases with distance (shown through a red to white gradient in the image), many operations can be neglected (boxes that have been crossed out) without a significant loss of accuracy.
Below are four draft images, as well as the final image used on the cover of The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters.

Finding The Gong On The Way
The world of gongs were introduced to me at the magic date of 2011.11.11.
In summer 2014, I was in Gothenburg attending a workshop of Bioenergetic Analysis (Alexander Lowen) together with my German teacher Heiner Steckel. I stayed at a small hotel in the middle of the city, near a forrest.
Bioenergetic Analysis has been a part of my life since 2005. I now embrace this as a part of my life and it has become a continuous learning process.
For me the Way of the Gong implies the energetic process in life to come alive with our authentic being and expressions. At this point I was already introduced with Singing bowls, which was a real turning point for me and my way of understanding of the importance and expression of sound.
This summer had already been quite special for me. I felt strongly connected with nature in a deeper and to me surprising way. I felt I was changing and that beatiful things would come into my life. I had always been an open and curious child surronded by much motherly love, and I believe this has had influence in how I percive the world. I feel strongly about the feminine aspect to be more expressed, and I welcome the strength of women in all layers of society.
At the last day of the workshop I wanted to go jogging. As I opened the door that morning I was greeted by dew fresh air. Then the most unexpected thing happened: there right in front of me, there stood a beautiful big deer on the grass right next to my car. I was quite surprised. It steared at me, stood still for a moment, turned and disappeared into the woods. Fantastic, I thought, wild animals here in the middle of Gothenburg city?
Well, I started to jog, but something bothered me: my inner voice, my intuition told me to take another route. Little did I know, that this decission should change my life totally. Sometimes we wonder: do we make the right choices?
Now I felt I was listening to a kind of dream state or deeper part of myself.
My intuituion told me to run along with the fence where I had seen the deer. Suddenly I saw a magical big forest in front of me. It turned out to be balanced by a nature reserve behind botanical garden in Gothenburg.
After a while, suddenly I saw a glimt of the same deer again and I started to follow him. I ran after him, but lost him. Then I ran higher up on a hill to get an overview and then decided to run another rout back to the hotel. Suddenly I stopped: there the deer stood right in front of me and steared at me. Then he turned and walked slowly ahead of me. It seamed he wanted me to follow him. So I did. Then he disappeared again and was gone.
I followed the trail, and to my big surprise, I could not believe what I saw: there, hanging between two poles was a big rusty gong with a mallet beside it. I was overwelmed, and I urgently wanted to try it, so I started to play. I was stunnished. The sound the gong made was a fantastic magical sound I had never heard before. The resonance was unlike any other I had ever experienced, and the vibration hit something deep inside my soul. I felt I should follow my spirit and listen to what nature tells me, and then I knew: This was what I wanted to do. I decided there and then that I wanted to spread this magical sound of the gong out to the rest of the world. It hit my heart, my body and soul. I was home!
The transformation I experienced this summer was a total shift in perception of how I am able to see and sense the reality of things, and how I sense the whole world. I realised I was now given the gift of channeling information from things and people from ”the other side”. Suddenly I saw the connection with the gongs, the Bioenergetics, the Overtone Singing and my loving childhood.
It all gave me an opening to view the world in a totally new way.

Good Vibrations to you!
Tor Arne Håve (2016)
Let the gong choose you
The question of buying a gong or choosing the right gong for your raises many ideas or concerns. It might be a question about the budget? It what manner you would like to use it? Is it for a yoga studio ? Or for working with sound healing in single sessions. How large is the room? What type of gong should I go for. The questions are as many as there are people. Should I start with a smaller one or could I go for a larger one from the start. Is the best to start to play with a Symphonic type of gong ?
I do not say that there is a better or an absolute right answer to this, but what I recommend is to participate a gong class and get the feel out of it first.. This will give you the opportunity to really get the feel into the different gongs. And who know it also may result in a resonance between you and a gong.
Then you know the gong has chosen you !
You are always welcome to contact me to have a reflection on the matter of choosing a gong.
(Tor Arne Håve)
The gong family
The idea of “the gong family” is of course not a new idea. It stems from the idea of the importance of having a good network that supports good values. You can find this idea in most societies, religious groups, political parties, sports teams and more. My own way is yoga and Buddhism (Vajarana). And I guess the following the principles form the Buddhism can make us a better humans.
I like to refer to the four THE FOUR IMMEASURABLES, witch is love, compassion, joy and equanimity. To follow these principles give us a guide in life and our work. And I also hope it will benefit the people that I meet on my own way.
There are no obligations to become a member of a “gong family” just a free connection to other like-minded people. I will in collaboration with people close to me search for expansion of compassion, love and joy with the help of the gongs.
The gong family is a worldwide network with humans playing gongs and doing sound healing in many different countries. This network has developed and is developing by many others all over the world.
Tor Arne Håve (2016)
There are more and more people that is enjoying “the way of the gong”. There are different yoga studios, art studios, healing studios and sound therapists around in Norway and Turkey.
What we all have in common is that we all see the goodness the gong bring to people and how much joy it gives ourselves and the people receiving the gong. These studios are there for you to get the benefits from the meeting with gongs and the compassionate humans we collaborate with.
“It is not about competing against each other, it is about sharing joy and caring for each others”.
You will find studios in these locations:
Oslo , Bodø, Kapp, Dal, Ask, Røa and Istanbul.
And more will come soon.
A journey into the unknown
I first met the gong in the summer of 2011 on Angsbacka yoga festival. I could´t believe what I was experiencing. My whole body was taken over, I had a shoulder injury and it felt like all the vibrations went there to heal. I soon realized I had to give up all control and just let the gong play me. There and then I decided that I wanted to learn how to play gong. And I guess it was meant to be, cause that autumn a yoga colleague of mine had invited two swedish guys to come and give a gong-training.
So I called Tor Arne Håve, who I knew was into singing bowls and overtone singing and told him that he had to join me on this. Without knowing anything about gong he said yes :-) Since then I have played the gong together with Tor Arne Håve giving gong relaxations and gong baths at different happenings and locations and I have played the gong in my yoga classes.
I am so grateful to the gongs. Its like they teach me how to live; I just have to give up controlling everything, let go of fear and its like this great power in my back pushing me in the direction of my gift, leaving me no choice but to do what is my life purpose.

Tensor Holography V2 improves over V1 by synthesizing 3D phase-only holograms end-to-end with deep double phase encoding, a learning-based phase-only encoding that avoids hand-tuning filters. The V2 pipeline leverages the layered depth images as 3D inputs to achieve more realistic occlusion reproduction and overcome the data challenges in using sihoulet-mask layered-based method [Zhang et al. 2017] with dense depth partition. It is robust to artifacts and misalignments in the captured depth map for real-world data (i.e. content reconstructed by NeRF as shown above [Mildenhall et al. 2020]).
Computer-generated holography (CGH) provides volumetric control of coherent wavefront and is fundamental to applications such as volumetric 3D displays, lithography, neural photostimulation, and optical/acoustic trapping. Recently, deep learning-based methods emerged as promising computational paradigms for CGH synthesis that overcome the quality-runtime tradeoff in conventional simulation/optimization-based methods. Yet, the quality of the predicted hologram is intrinsically bounded by the dataset's quality. Here we introduce a new hologram dataset, MIT-CGH-4K-V2, that uses a layered depth image as a data-efficient volumetric 3D input and a two-stage supervised+unsupervised training protocol for direct synthesis of high-quality 3D phase-only holograms. The proposed system also corrects vision aberration, allowing customization for end-users. We experimentally show photorealistic 3D holographic projections and discuss relevant spatial light modulator calibration procedures. Our method runs in real-time on a consumer GPU and 5 FPS on an iPhone 13 Pro, promising drastically enhanced performance for the applications above.

In CSIR Networked Programme (SMM-05) one of the component is estimation of assimilative capacity of environmental media (air, water, land and biological), which has to be dealt by NEERI in three regions viz. Central India – Nagpur (M.S.) and Chhindwara (M.P.) districts, Coastal region - Visakhapatnam district (A.P.) and Hilly region - Mandi and Bilaspur districts (H.P.). The aims of the study are to develop the methodology for estimation of assimilative capacity with respect to various pollutants under different management options and development scenario; and delineation of assimilative capacity based standards for water sources for sustainable development.
A meso-scale database on assimilative capacity of environmental media (air, water, land and biological) is essential for understanding the status of environment and for developing environmental quality standards, which will help easy and transparent decision making at policy, plan and project levels. A database for three representative regions would be generated, which would be available in public domain.
Water quality analyses of major water resources of the two regions viz. Central India and Coastal region were carried out during post-monsoon as well as critical seasons. The analytical results showed that majority of water resources fall within the permissible limits of drinking water standards except coliform bacterial counts. It is observed that the water resources are suitable for irrigation purpose with few exceptions.
Spatial variation in surface and groundwater quality was observed depending upon geological strata, pollution load by point and non-point sources and local ongoing practices in catchment area. The problem is aggravated in critical season, as pollution and chemical ingredients get concentrated in small amount of water resources. This calls for proper
catchment area treatment strategies for surface water resources and conservation and protection of groundwater resources from being polluted. Using these resources for drinking purpose require proper water treatment with disinfection, whereas for irrigation purpose it requires adoption of proper irrigation methods and scheduling of irrigation in order to prevent water logging and salinity problems of land resources.
Pollutants assimilative capacity of soils varies depending upon their intrinsic properties. One of the components in this project is Lysimetric study for Soil - Wastewater interaction. These studies will help in determining horizon wise pollutant retention capacity of soil, which will entail about quantum of groundwater pollution at wastewater application sites vis-à-vis soil pollution.

How do you tell a story? Where do you begin? What part of the journey is most compelling? Most enigmatic? Most impossible? Our website was built with the idea that a memory is only as good as its story; it is only as good as its Tale.
Mankind has forever used symbols to carry on ideas, philosophies, and concepts. Whether it be religious symbols, flags, monuments, names, etc, the importance of a memory can be considered divine. Some stories are immortal, living through song and dance. Other memories happen in a blink of an eye, personal to you, but magnificent in their rarities. For that reason, we asked ourselves: What makes a memory more grandiose than another? What makes a story more worthy of being told? We believe that it is the way the story is being told.
A good Tale starts with YOU. It begins with a state of mind and ends with an experience.
TaleOfYou worships the idea of a good story, presented elegantly with mystery, passion, and glory. Our products are meant to represent different states of mind and personalities in a simple yet artistic manner. The idea is to use high-quality materials such as Leather, Metals and Natural Stones to project complexity, yet portray primitiveness. There is beauty in simplicity, and we believe that a simple symbol can depict a very complex idea or experience. After all, fashion is about telling your story, showing your colors, and speaking loudly without using your words. We hope that our carefully thought out bracelets and pendants can help symbolize the greatest tale of all, the Tale of YOU.

It’s a new year with new possibilities. It sounds trivial to say this and we all do, but in reality it’s true. The amazing thing about life is that in actuality each day offers a possibility of a new start, a fresh beginning. For so many of us January is a slightly slower month of the year. The days are darker and shorter, we’re recovering from the holidays, budgets are new and usually spending is slower so we have time to think. So let’s think beyond resolutions, beyond simple behavioral changes. Let’s ask….how do we want out story to end? Once we look at the ending then we can start figuring out how to write the middle.
While it’s true that we only have one life to live, the good news is that our life is more like a book than a short story. It consists of chapters, with different settings, different subplots, different phases. And thankfully each chapter also presents the opportunity to start anew, to not only move beyond the past but also the opportunity to start over.


The Road Surface Treatments Association (RSTA) has launched a definitive industry guide to a variety of surfacing techniques that are used to maintain the highway network.
Produced in conjunction with Highways Magazine, the Road Surface Treatments Handbook is intended as a quick user-friendly reference document for use by anyone involved with treating and maintaining roads.
RSTA chief executive Howard Robinson said: “The main purpose of this handbook is to provide a quick and easy reference guide to help anyone involved in highway maintenance and asset management to more fully appreciate the range of techniques now available, where they can be used and what they have to offer.”
Highways Magazine editor Alec Peachey added: “We were honoured to be asked to produce this guide on behalf of the RSTA. The content that can be found in this guide was originally published in the magazine, but to have it available in one place will be of great benefit to the industry. It is important that this type of information is shared with the industry more widely and that it can be used for years to come.”
The Road Surface Treatments Handbook is available to view on the Highways Magazine back issue archive here.


Finnegan's Dream is a text-sound piece made from a recording of James Joyce reading a chapter from Finnegan's Wake
. As Joyce reads, pitch and time domain-spectral transformations are employed to alter the timbral content of his voice, eventually resulting in a sort of spectral resonator driven by the voice. Techniques used to realize the piece include spectral scaling, shifting, inversion, gating, and feedback of delayed spectral data.
Signal processing for this piece was implemented in MaxMSP. Below is a screenshot of the pfft~ patch.

DaySpring from on High is a Christ centered writing ministry dedicated to exploring the deeper mysteries of the Most High God and His Son, our Savior. The writing ministry began in 1988 under the name of Verse 1 of Psalm 91. A group of sons and daughters in Christ began sharing their insights about the mysteries of the kingdom. In 1995, the name was changed to DaySpring from on High. And in 2004, the mailing address for the ministry was moved from Texas to Missouri.
The gospel is free and DaySpring simply relies on the Father
to provide as He sees fit.
The Bible often refers to ministers of Christ as vessels containing the water, the oil, and the wine of the Spirit. As writers, DaySpring does not emphasize the markings, personalities, denominations, titles and decorations on the clay vessels of the writers, but instead desires that the reader might receive the internal message in its purity as poured out by the Holy Spirit. Like Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Martha and Mary, we prefer the simplicity of a first name basis.
About our beliefs – we refer to the scripture about the foundational beliefs in Jesus Christ as described by the Apostle Paul. And we consider all who hold those basic beliefs as being our brothers and sisters in Christ.
1Corinthians 3:11-15 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is. If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
However, growth in Christ is a process and DaySpring desires to help readers find the gold, silver, and precious gems of the mysteries of God . Unfortunately, most of these mysteries are hidden in the carnal wood, hay and stubble. We are fellow pilgrims writing the chronology of a journey through the refining fires of the Spirit in search of precious and deeper truths.
What subjects will you find in the writings? The mysteries of our God are rich and varied. The Order of Melchisedec was a mystery to the apostles and still is to Christians today. The concept of the Godhead as shown in the Hebrew names of the Most High God [El Elyon] and His Son [Yeshua] is a continuing mystery. The mystery of immortality and those who are changed from mortality to immortality in the ‘twinkling of an eye’ is described in the Transfiguration writings. Is there a roadmap to immortality laid out in the plans of the tabernacle? Are the very blueprints of the body and its nervous system inherent in the tabernacle plans? What discoveries are physical world oriented scientists making as they continually ‘bump’ into the spiritual world and become amazed that these mysteries have been hidden in scriptures from antiquity? And finally, one of the biggest mysteries of all – what is the true relationship between man and woman? Will this be revealed by the sons and daughters of the Most High God?
Revelation 10:7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.

TRILOGY PLOT SUMMARY:
I - Carmilla (Classic)
Logline: Carmilla comes alive as the empowering vampiress traveling the countryside to the end of time seeking revenge.
Carmilla (Classic) presents a stylized adaptation of the classic 19th-century gothic novella "Carmilla" by Irish writer Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, the original female vampire in all her splendor, which inspired Bram Stoker’s 1897 novel, Dracula, which is the prototype of an entire subgenre of vampire fiction. This film is a romantic, dramatic homage to the Countess, like Francis Ford Coppola’s resurrection of the Count. Meanwhile, on the internet, Carmilla has millions of fans await for her resurrection.
The film opens in Karnstein, Austria 1812 during lavish preparations for the ultimate royal wedding. Carmilla is a teenage bride coerced into a loveless marriage to an older General in order to unite powerful families. Before the ceremony begins, Carmilla sneaks away to meet her true love, one last time. Caught in their embrace, her handsome soldier is stabbed by her future husband. As he lies dying in her arms, the General signals his henchmen to annihilate her entire family. Carmilla escapes from the burning castle to see everything she knows and loves go up in flames. There, the devil appears and Carmilla makes a pact with him to avenge her entire murdered family. Open Credits.
Throughout the rest of the movie, we see Carmilla come alive as the empowering vampiress traveling the countryside to the end of time seeking revenge.
II - Carmilla, the Homecoming
Carmilla, the Homecoming is a modern-day coming-of-age story of a teen-aged female vampire and her chilling tale of revenge. Carmilla's return to her homeland not only unravels the dark mysteries of the family's legacy, but it also triggers a series of events that will lead to a confrontation of power.
When the beautiful, cheeky young vampiress, Carmilla, returns after hundreds of years in exile to seek cold revenge on the man who stole her family legacy, she finds herself opening her heart when she least expects it. On the eve of the first blue moon on All Soul’s Day since 1698, Carmilla Karnstein returns to her native land to take back her family legacy and title from Lukas Kaiser, a cruel and evil vampire who seized power from her family.
Upon her return, Carmilla meets her brother, Alex, who has been Lukas’ puppet throughout the centuries and kept hostage inside the Karnstein mansion. Together they must plot revenge on Lukas, who will use the power of the blue moon to bring darkness into the world if they don’t stop him. Unexpectedly, however, Carmilla also meets Kurt, a handsome young artist with whom she falls madly in love. At the same time, Detective Decker Vordenberg, is summoned by his brother, the local priest, Father Stephan, to investigate a series of gruesome murders in the same home town. Although he has no interest in returning home, Decker is lured by the fact that the son of Angelika – Decker’s childhood sweetheart – is the primary suspect in the case. Cynical by nature, Decker’s eyes are gradually opened to the fact that the town is about to be overrun by vampires, and the unbelievable realization that both he and Stephan come from a historic line of vampire slayers. They must work fast to try to stop the evil Lukas from executing his plan, but in the end, it is up to Carmilla – who wants nothing more than to be human and free to love without restriction – who must make the most difficult choice for her life.
Carmilla is a female action heroine and a franchise character that appeals to the broadest demographic. Carmilla Trilogy follows in the tradition of blockbuster mystery thriller franchises, such as Twilight, “Hannibal Lecter” series.

She weighs less than .02 of an ounce. Months earlier, her mother had left her as a tiny dot of an egg on a milkweed leaf in Ontario, Canada. Now, 2,800 miles from where she was born, she is here in Mexico thinking about flying north.
She knows nothing of the metamorphosis that made her or how she made this incredible odyssey to the mountaintops of central Mexico. But she is thinking of heading back north. She does not know that on her journey she will never reach the land of her birth. But she feels the urge to mate and fly away.
Only 750 miles northward into Texas, she, as her mother had done before in Ontario, leaves dots of eggs on a milkweed and dies. She will not know that only her great or great-great granddaughter will have a chance to taste the nectar in the place of her own birth.
How this tiny creature, generations removed from any prior migrant, was able to navigate the long journey from Canada to the same clumps of trees in the mountains of Mexico where her ancestors had wintered, is one of the most amazing stories in all of nature…


"Sick and tired of being sick and tired. Had as much of you as I can take. I'm so DONE, SO OVER BEING AFRAID. I've gone through the motions, I've been back and forth. I know that you're thinking you heard this before. I don't know how to say it, so I'm just gonna say it...... Fear you don't own me..." (Excerpt from The Breakup Song,performed by Francesca Battistelli. Bart Millard/David Garcia/Franceseca Battistelli)
Fear is a thief; robs you of the very essence of who you were born to be…IF YOU GIVE IN TO IT!! Fear is a liar! It whispers to you that you won’t make it, that you are nothing, that what you have is all you will ever have, that YOU WILL FAIL. Fear is paralyzing! It keeps you stuck in a pattern of wanting to move forward, but standing still so long the world passes you by, leaving you to feel you’ve moved backwards. Fear is damaging-physically, mentally and spiritually! Try sleeping on the couch for 10 years, afraid to sleep too far from your front door-in constant fear of an unwanted, harassing intruder, mixed with memories of bedroom trauma. Fear keeps you from experiencing moments of pure joy, satisfaction and purpose, because of a panic sense that something will go wrong. Eventually you’re denying self of living on purpose with purpose.
I am 44 years young, and I confess to living in fear much of my life. Afraid to speak up as a child for the inappropriate style of play happening on the playground–Afraid to follow my love for theatre in high school, because I thought I’d be laughed at or couldn’t make it(praise the Lord that type of thinking was not passed down to my film, theatre, drama, arts loving kids)–Afraid to speak up and fight against the emotional, and physical abuse during a relationship–A contributing factor to all of this, fear of living as my authentic, unmasked, free self! Considering I was afraid of MYself, being different, standing out and standing for what I felt was right for me, I settled in many areas. Allowing mistreatment and manipulation, with a crippling fear of following the dreams and vision for my life, became downright suffocating. I’ve just about had enough, because fear aside, it’s disobedience to what God has called me to do, and there is no joy in living contrary to how you were created to be.
In 2009, while being verbally abused, I heard God speak His vision into my heart.(I may not have totally understood that at the time) In 2018, I gained some understanding as to what the vision was really about. There’s been ups and downs, back and not enough forth in between those years. This year, He called me out by name, to remind me He still sees me, and that vision has not died. It may sound cliche’,but there is purpose in the pain. Even in recent weeks, as I’m navigating familiar territory of heartbreak and self doubt, I can clearly see the good to come out of it . Someone is hurting far worse than me, who needs to know, you will get through this; your life is not over; there is better for you; God loves you and is pursuing you. But if I continue to walk a lie of fear, how does that person in my reach of influence get the message? Pain pushes us closer to Him, and He’s ready to embrace if you’re just open to receive.
I am absolutely tired of living this way! It’s not part of my design. We have an assignment, and it has almost destroyed me at times to not walk in mine. I refuse to be wasted space any longer. I refuse to be bound by others opinions and expectations any longer. I refuse to hold my head down and doubt my worth any longer, and somebody out here needs to hear how they to can put the fear, self doubt, hurts, pains, internal suffering behind them and walk into all God has for them. Please watch this short video that has helped me gain clarity for part of my life’s purpose and stay tuned for messages to follow that I pray will be a life changing blessing for someone.


A collective sigh of relief…
Yesterday, many of us experienced a collective sigh of relief. An exhale after a long-held breath. We breathed. The collective breath was deep, knowing the work is far from over as we bury 20-year-old Daunte Wright and mourn the loss of 16-year-old Ma’Khia Bryant.
But strength and resiliency are not lacking in our communities. Continually, we experience and witness neighbors in North and South Minneapolis show up for each other, hold each other, and acknowledge the pain and trauma these moments inflict on all of us – whether conscious of it or not.
At Urban Homeworks, we ask ourselves what it means to neighbor in times like these. Neighbor is one of our longstanding Core Values. To us, to neighbor means humbly accepting that there is ongoing work to be done on oneself and a conscientious effort to do that work. Another Core Value that guides us is Step Up, which is seeing the need and taking action. We apply our Core Values internally and to the way we landlord our rental units, develop housing and people and steward the communities that have trusted us to provide dignified, affordable housing for 26 years. As paired with our mission and vision, our values drive us to work on dignified, affordable housing while standing against all forms of racism and other oppressions that our communities face daily. We must speak out. It is our duty to stand in solidarity with the marginalized and oppressed just as Jesus did when he walked this earth.
Jesus did not look away, nor did he minimize the voice or struggles of the oppressed. He acted in solidarity, as he confronted any notions of profit over people. As he developed close relationships with those the dominating society had rejected and demeaned, he modeled loving activism; he modeled Step Up, and he modeled Neighbor. He did so until the dominating culture deemed him such a threat to their way of life, to their systems of greed and oppression, that they killed him, and justified his murder for public consumption. The actions Jesus chose show us that he not only valued life of the soul, but valued the life of the body, as well. Jesus showed us with his life that the pursuit of justice is an act of care and love for the entire human being.
Do not look away as your neighbors mourn, as your neighbors grow disheartened knowing that while Chauvin was convicted on two counts of murder and one count of manslaughter – police across this nation murdered 64 people since testimony began on March 29th. (See NY Times article for reference.)
Do not look away or cast blame, but rather Step Up and Neighbor with us. We cannot turn our backs when those paid to protect and serve us, only protect and serve some while senselessly murdering or assaulting others. At Urban Homeworks, we believe Jesus would not look away, turn his back, or throw shame or blame on those being oppressed. We are guided by the model of activism that Jesus demonstrated in the Bible as we stand with our neighbors and fight for their collective voices to address injustice.
At Urban Homeworks, we feel the relief of the verdict and the weight of all the work still needing to be done. We are so grateful for this incredibly resilient and compassionate community. Thank you to all those who reached out directly with words of support and with supplies and cash donations when we put the call out in preparation for the conclusion of the Chauvin trial.
Tomorrow afternoon, less than one block from Urban Homeworks, the family of Daunte Wright will mourn the young person they lost. In partnership with Brother’s Empowered, Appetite for Change, Raising Cane, and Restoration Incorporated, we will be there providing sustenance and support. We invite our larger community to volunteer and join us in this effort to hold sacred space. If you wish to help set up or distribute food, please contact Marque Jensen, our Equity and Engagement Manager, at 612.208.8104.
In gratitude for the Urban Homeworks Community, and in solidarity with all those fighting for systemic justice,

When I was a kid, my mother would bring me home gifts and a Christmas card every year.
She was the sweetest woman I ever met, and I remember her as a very special person who would always say, “I love you, Mom.”
She would be a happy and kind person who was able to tell me things that I didn’t know.
One year, we were shopping for Christmas gifts for our daughters, and my mother asked me if I wanted to bring something new.
I said, “Oh, I want to give my mom a present!”
She was excited and took the box out of the bag and opened it up.
The box was filled with cute little clothes.
She put the clothes inside, and we watched as they got into our little Christmas homes.
There was no need for me to do anything.
As soon as the clothes were out of our hands, she took them and gave them to me and said, that was my favorite Christmas present.
It was my first Christmas present to my mom and it was the first gift she ever gave me.
When my mom was my age, I would love to have the same thing she did.
I wish I could have been there to take her picture with it when it arrived, and she could have given me a hug when she saw it.
She also would not have had a hard time telling me how lucky I was to have my mom.
She never had any trouble with my family when she was pregnant, she said, and even though she didn’t like to talk about it, she always felt like she was doing the right thing.
I think that is because she really believed in my ability to be a good daughter, and because of that belief, she never stopped loving me and was so thankful that she was able and blessed to have a beautiful family.
In fact, my mom said that her mom has the best Christmas wishes she has ever had.
She said, if I were to give you one wish, it would be to see my mother.
It is hard to know what I would say to my mother when I was young, but she would always remind me that she loved me and I am blessed that she had the opportunity to be with me.
The best Christmas gifts that I received as a kid were the ones that I was given as a gift.
Christmas is an important time of year, so my mom gave me gifts every year for my birthday and Christmas.
I always loved playing with her little gifts.
When my mom bought me the first big toys, I couldn’t wait to play with them.
She would take me to her house, and the house was full of toys.
As I grew older, she would take my toys to the park and give them to us as a Christmas present every year, and now that I am older, I am thankful that I have been able to keep these gifts.

I was but a small child, a new comer to the United States of America. Escaping the same bearded mullahs who run Iran today, my parents and I started a new life in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The drastic change of scenery, along with the blistering cold brought poetry to my fathers lips. As he walked me to preschool in subzero temperatures, I can remember him reciting a poem in Farsi about how life, if lived well, is profoundly beautiful. As the partially frozen snot was coming down my nose I didn’t fully comprehend the message of the poem, but somehow I remember feeling the fuzzy notion that it was deep and powerful. In homage to this vague feeling I would make a sincere effort to show I was tough and that the cold couldn’t phase me. The poem is by Siavash Kasraie and is titled Zendegi Zeebast, which means “Life is Beautiful.” It is less a Louis Armstrong wonderful world type poem(trees of green skies of blues bright blessed days, etc) and more a somber reflection on the dutiful life. Perseverance and hope in the face of adversity will illuminate that the struggle itself is beautiful – that type of thing. In light of today’s struggles for justice and prosperity(from Oakland to Tripoli to Tehran to … ) I find that message to resonate strongly. Advocates of justice everywhere: I believe the underlying ethos of our collective struggle should be one of hope and strength, not cynicsim and despair. I will try to carry that spirit in my work going forward and in the stories and reflections I share in this blog.
Those in my inner circle know that I have divorced the 9-5 engineering life and have moved on to focus my energies on education. I have been active in the outreach organization I started in Oakland (Oakland Science and Math Outreach) and will start a PhD program at Berkeley in the Fall in the EMST program (engineering math science and technology). I will probably end up writing more about this transition as I begin the program, but the short and rough version is that I identified a career in which I can do something social justice related while also building upon stuff I was already educated in and good at (math, engineering, talking to people, teaching math). A few days ago I read an online interview with Shepard Fairey (the artist of obama fame) and he put it very nicely. He said his embrace of street art is a means for him to indulge the many different passions he has; art, activism, politics, pop culture, etc. I feel that way about education, I can indulge myself (how selfish!). But its true, I could’nt be happier. It has an intellectual nerdy theory aspect to it, an activism and political side to it, a social and interacting with the community side, and I’ve chose to focus on STEM so that will draw upon a ton of stuff I’m already familiar with.
With that said, I have to bid Dapper Concepts a sweet farewell. For those who stuck by me through my literary experimentations, thank you very much. Please keep reading me at http://sepehrv.wordpress.com.


Posted November 19, 2018 12:30:00 by James BateyAuthor James Bates is on a roll, with his first solo novel out and his first new book in the last year.
The former CBS star’s latest is titled Lone Survivor: A Star Wars Story, which tells the story of a survivor who came to terms with his past and came to the conclusion that the galaxy was doomed.
“I am a huge Star Wars fan, and so much of the story is told from a survivor’s point of view, and it’s a really interesting story,” Bates told Bleacher Beat.
“What we find in this book is a guy who was in the middle of the Battle of Endor, in the heart of the battle, and he comes out of that battle with his life changed forever.”
Bates, who also starred on The Young and the Restless and in the hit series The Office, will continue writing for the new series.
He said the series will be a darker and more mature take on the saga.
“It’s going to be darker and a little more mature in tone,” Batson said.
“It’s an original, it’s going back to a lot of the original stories, and I think it’s one of the best things that’s ever been written.”
Lone survivor: A star wars story is out now from Penguin Random House.

To my beloved son Michael!
Today it is exactly 8 days since you first saw the light of day, and should it not be vouchsafed to me to be able to relate to you the events of the last 8 days once you have reached an age of maturity, I shall write it down now.
10 months of happiness have passed since my marriage, and I have lacked for nothing in those things which make a human being truly happy. Your dear mother and I came together, not as a result of considerations of wealth or calculation, but by true love. During the 12 months of our engagement and the 10 months of our marriage we experienced no differences of opinion, no disagreements. We enjoyed a mutual esteem and love. We were content and happy, both within ourselves and with each other, and any external attempt at interference failed in face of our mutual understanding.
Then came the hour of your birth. The night of agony is still vivid in my mind and will not easily be forgotten. I was spending terrible nights awake in the open, the enemy before me, and in the trenches and in the ruined houses outside Paris. Death was a constant presence. But there it was only my own life that was in danger. Here it was the life of everything that I hold most dear on this earth that was in danger.
Since that October night in the year 1870 which I spent in a house in Chatillon, awaiting the next shell which would bury us under its rubble, and I prayed to God so fervently, as never before, then I prayed not for my life, but that I should not be crippled, but prayed for a quick death and for the consolation of my father, who now rests with God, for the life of one who is now more important to me than my own.
At last, after hours of torment, my sister Mina sent me news of your birth. What joy, what happiness fills a father’s heart when a son is born to him! What hopes, what expectations are laid upon this young life. I must confess, I was not overjoyed by your birth, I was not eager to see you. I expected a girl.
The Entry into the Covenant of Abraham presented itself before my eyes. A ceremony which I have always abhorred, that is no longer in keeping with our age, that since I was a child I have regarded as unworthy to be treated as a holy act, and which ran totally in opposition to my belief in the individual’s freedom of thought, which even the penal code hints at being unlawful and which brands a human being even before he is capable of rational thought, but which is regarded as the sole pillar upon which Judaism still rests. I hold the Jewish religion in which I was raised in high esteem. I have openly professed my belief in it through times and upon occasions when others timidly hid their belief and were happy to give the impression that they did not belong (to this religion). But I do not want to believe that an ancient sanitation law constitutes the basis of a faith. How sublime the words sound: ‘ Hear, oh Israel, Israel the eternal, your God is a single, eternal Being’ for whom you should circumcise… etc of your flesh (offspring) 8 days after his birth. I am firmly of the belief that the Jewish faith will continue to rest upon the belief in a higher, eternal being, long after this practice of offering this visible sign (circumcision) has been given up as obsolete. If, after all this, you still believe that I behaved wrongly, then the damage can easily be remedied. You can redeem the sin of your father. If you have inherited at least some of my characteristics, then you will not flinch from the small amount of pain and will honour your father’s good intentions. I rely on you to remain true to the faith of your forefathers, but not to adhere blindly to ceremonies, but to act as a truly God-fearing, thinking human being.
The terrible 8 days are over. All (my family) have broken with me and my good mother, and my heart is heavy when I think back on the happiness and mutual accord that prevailed in our family. I do not intend to mention names. You should not grow up with resentment in your heart against any one of them. They have had other experiences, and other views. I will however mention one who remained honest and unswervingly loyal to your dear mother. One who held and kissed you. This was your young and beautiful Aunt Marie. I shall never forget this and will hold it as a holy obligation to help her in return. If it should not be possible for me to do so, you will take on this obligation.
28 October 84. Your grandmother could not bring herself to continue to be angry with us. She was here again on Sunday and today as well, and she likes you very much. Your grandfather was also here, although he is less conciliatory, but in this too, time will bring healing. Doctor Ehrlich says that you will not thank me for what I have suffered on your account. It is possible, you cannot reproach me for this, that I forced you into something that you would later regret, but what can not be undone.
Whilst I write I can hear you groaning in your bedroom. You have not yet learned how to cry properly! But now your dear mother has calmed you by providing you with the nourishment you require. I almost feel jealous that she loves you so much.
Today the Reichstag election took place and I remained true to my principles, voting for the National Liberals. In the year 1870/71 I proved that one can both be a Jew and a good German and I will continue throughout my life to devote my modest strength to upholding the glory and fame of our German Fatherland.
I hope that you also will be proud of your Fatherland and that the Fatherland will count you amongst its most loyal citizens33.
A man who has no interest in his homeland, who is only conscious of his own needs, is not worthy of belonging to a country.
16. February 1885
Today, shortly before 2.00 o’clock, my most deeply loved father gave up the ghost. He passed away peacefully, without a struggle, at the age of 76 years, one month and 27 days.
May I always remember these last few days and never forget the constancy with which his eyes rested upon me, even in his last moments. He suffered much and for a long time, but bore it all with the patience of Job.
A good and honest man, respected and esteemed by his fellow citizens, has left us. He was a true father to his children.
21 May 1878. (Lak Boemer). Today the mortal remains of my deceased father were laid to rest in the earth. May it treat him as lightly as he deserves. The length of the funeral procession speaks for the high regard in which he was held.
Inscription on my father’s tombstone in the Jewish cemetery in Lichterfels.
In remembrance of our unforgettable husband and father, Samuel Brüll.
Born 21. September 1848. Died 11 April 1901.
In 1870/71 Samuel Brüll fought as a reserve Lieutenant in the K.b.15 Infantry Regiment for the Glory and Honour of his Fatherland.


It took me over 10 years to get clarity and understand the profound inner growth and impact that comes from a clear-cut vision statement, a firm declaration of core values, and the exalting force of the all-powerful Divine. It was those three intertwined components that put me on a roll to realize my quest, that of developing my potential.
The good news is that it can take you minutes to grasp this concept and only weeks to gain clarity on your personal vision, your key core values and strengthen your Divine convictions.
I always yearned to be the best in both my personal life and career. Looking back on my long search, remarkably, I learned that if you quantify those three elements in your life, you will create the clarity, convictions, and confidence needed to be a great 21st century leader. People follow people who show confidence. They are like a magnet. You can be that confident leader magnet.
Superpower, North Star and Your Anchor… so, what do all of these have in common?
Do you recall the fantasy world of Narnia, created by C.S Lewis in his widely read epic novel series, The Chronicles of Narnia? In the tale, there were three independent entities, the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, used by the author as symbols to depict an imaginative journey. They were the support characters for the reader to connect the story’s action. Likewise, Superpower, North Star and Your Anchor are the support guides in your story’s action in steering the Power of U!
What is your Superpower? You were uniquely and amazingly created with a specific purpose and power – strengths – in mind. You are Humanity + Divinity. When these two powers are combined and aligned, your potential to create a world of possibilities is unlocked. The beginning of understanding your Superpower is unlocking a clear personal vision statement. Your Motivation. Your Why. Understanding your motivation makes you unique. Each Superhero has a unique power. Each person has a unique personal vision statement. Getting crystal clear on your Superpower will be the power that drives your purpose, goals, and aspirations forward.
The North star is famous for holding nearly still in the sky. It provides a constant directional course as it lies within one degree of the North Pole’s axis as seen from Earth. It is due North. Sailors have used it for centuries to navigate the waters. It is also 2500 times brighter than the sun and is readily found even on the darkest of nights. Your North Star is defined by your most important and revered core values by which you choose to live. Core values, your North Star, will keep you and your decision-making grounded as you navigate life’s challenges. They are your buttress and aligned with your Superpower to ensure your career goals, vocation or business targets are met. During difficult dark times, your Core Values will provide the light to keep you moving forward. As your North Star shines brighter, all will recognize and see the impact on life, leadership, and business that you are making.
Gain clarity on your personal vision, values and divinity. They will be the Superpower, North Star and Anchor that will unlock and unleash your potential to be great in life and leadership.
The world, our lives and our perceptions all shift like a ship at sea. They are not stable. That is why having a stabilizing anchor will empower your journey . The anchor comes in the form of understanding our Divinity. Developing strong clear convictions about the Divine provides much needed stability in an unstable world. God – The Great Growth Coach – does not change or shift like the waves of the sea. Growing in understanding of why God created you, how God sees you and what Coach expects of you will increase the Power of U! This anchor will steady your ship during turbulent times as you realize your dreams, goals and vision of what can be.
I recently had the joy of walking a client through this Power of U! journey. The empowerment, confidence, and stabilizing force this brought to her life was transformational. It took weeks, not 10 years, to achieve. Her mindset and emotional strength shifted. The way she led her team with increased strength, direction, and confidence, was inspiring. Her supervisors and colleagues took notice.
It is worth the work. Take the growth steps!
Gain clarity on your personal vision, core values and Divinity. They are the Superpower, North Star and Anchor that will unlock and unleash your potential to be exceptional in life and leadership at home and in business.
