Fischer Park, the largest park in the New Braunfels park system, offers a variety of amenities for discovery and exploration. Stroll, run, or bicycle around the park on over two miles of greenway trails, where fresh air, sunshine and nature are abundant. Relax at the two fishing ponds, splash at the sprayground, enjoy the playgrounds, visit the Nature Education Center or take in the dramatic views of New Braunfels from the 62-acre hill top park. Fischer Park is named after the Fischer family, whose homestead on the property dates back to 1946. In January 2007, the Fischer family sold 55 acres to the City of New Braunfels and gifted three acres to the New Braunfels Parks Foundation. Subsequently, the City purchased an additional four acres for a total of 62 acres to be developed into Fischer Park. This was the first major parkland acquisition since 1973. The Fischer Park Master Plan was completed in 2008 and the design contract was approved by City Council in 2011, with construction beginning in 2013.

Our garden is used for demonstration, community involvement, classes, educational field trips, children’s nature camps, guided and self-guided walking tours. New Braunfels is an important stop on the migration path for Monarch Butterflies, The Fischer Park butterfly garden helps to protect the species for future generations. The demonstration garden provides an incredible visual example for our visitors and showcases host and nectar plants for Monarchs, Queens, Gulf Fritillaries, and many other kinds of butterflies. Guests are able to stroll through the garden daily to observe a practical demonstration of native gardening that attracts indigenous plants, wildlife, and insects. Hand-crafted butterfly benches allow a place to rest and observe natural pollination taking place. A large bird feeding trough attracts native birds and allows guests to birdwatch. Native berry-producing plants provide refuge and resources for native wildlife in the winter when resources can be scarce, and larval plants provide a haven for butterflies to lay eggs and caterpillars to feed. Blackland Prairie As a 62-acre public space, Fischer Park became New Braunfels’s largest park when it opened in May 2015. In an area landlocked by businesses and rapidly expanding subdivisions, Fischer Park provides not only kid-enticing amenities expected of today’s public parks but reserves over 30-acres, about half of the park’s acreage, as native prairie. New Braunfels Parks and Recreation Department (PARD) contracted with Native American Seed of Junction, Texas, to do a site visit and map the restoration plan. That plan is being implemented over several years and includes removal of invasive species. Lindheimer Master Naturalists and Lindheimer Native Plant Society of Texas members are among volunteers working with PARD to accomplish various associated tasks. Native American Seed is also scheduled to do periodic visits which will ensure maximum timeliness of species removal and replanting. The restoration of a 30-plus acre blackland prairie of native plants in the heart of New Braunfels and less than a mile off Interstate 35 is remarkable. Long-term, the prairie will also stabilize soil, lessen erosion, and should only increase in importance as a true environmental asset for the New Braunfels community. Retention of 30 plus acres as native blackland prairie is an important contribution to Central Texas, a significant migratory pathway for birds, butterflies, and other wildlife. Preservation of these open spaces provides critical habitat for migrating birds. For over a decade, the local Audubon Society has included this area in its annual bird counts. Nearby huisache trees have been managed to retain pollinators’ access yet reduce disruption of nearby trails. Introduction of native plants provide food sources for birds and other wildlife and require less water to maintain. Ponds originally dredged by the Fischer Family were also retained and now serve as a wetland area. Fischer Park’s ponds permit a now protected wetland habitat for avian species. Certainly fishing is important and the ponds provide a safe place for young anglers to practice their art, although a critical value of these ponds is perhaps not apparent. The ponds are monitored by TCEQ and Citizen Scientist groups thereby providing data on effluent discharge in a highly developed residential area of New Braunfels that is also a wetland preserve. Additionally, at least four different ecosystems converge in the general area. Those include: Blackland Prairie, Post Oak Savanah, the Edwards Plateau, and South Texas Plains. Fischer Park is becoming, in a sense, a living repository for plant species unique to these ecoregions. This act of conservation is important not only for the plants but critical for the creatures migrating the Central Texas flyway. The addition of a fenced butterfly garden, home to over 150 nectar and larval host plants, is both an educational and conservation measure. Fischer Park is recognized as a Monarch Waystation. Dino Dig Archaeology "Dino" Dig The Archaeology Dig, located at the Fischer Park Nature Education Center, is an area for young archaeologists to excavate and explore a combination of replica artifacts and dinosaur fossils buried in the sand. Gift Shop Take a break from the heat and check out the gift shop at the Nature Education Center! Grab a cold drink, a snack, and a butterfly net (or 2!) and head out for more adventures at the park.

I've just read George Orwell's "Nineteen Eighty Four" and while it's brilliant, it isn't an unalloyed masterpiece. I was surprised to find that the book is short, exciting and easy to read. It's about the adventure and destruction of Winston in a dystopian future of total authority and ubiquitous surveillance. Orwell has invented and developed the setting painstakingly, but the exposition and the storytelling are frankly clumsy. He has created, in enormous detail, a world and a language. The language is explained in a long appendix but is also forced into the narrative in the mouth of a convenient lexicographer character that Winson just happens to work with. The lexicographer is removed from the story as soon as he's made his useful speeches about Newspeak. A lot of the history of the world is read directly from a counter-revolutionary textbook thousands upon thousands of plotless words at a time. Some of the story telling is no better: Within a couple of dozen pages of introducing a pretty female co-worker we get a moth-eaten mahogany double bed in a room without surveillance. It's like having Chekov's rifle trained on us until they inevitably end up in the bed together. This is personal preference, but I wish my fiction authors wouldn't keep having a swing at Language-Shapes-Thought vs. Thought-Shapes-Language. It's an interesting subject, but it's obviously one for scientific investigation, not speculative propaganda nestling inside novels. My favourite parts of the book were a love affair as an adventure story, and sex as an act of political rebellion. The book is unrelentingly bleak. I found it both depressing and strangely refreshing that Winston is wholly defeated, there is no last-minute rescue, no shred of hope, and if I read the ending correctly, not even one last defiant thought. I really enjoyed the book, but it is in reality a political essay disguised as a story. It's very very good but it could have been _much_ better

Arsenal's teenage sensations won their way into the quarter-finals of the Carling Cup with an impressive 3-0 win over Wigan. A brace from Jay Simpson and a beauty from Carlos Vela was enough to secure a spot in the next round. Apart from the absence of the injured Emile Heskey, Wigan otherwise put out their strongest side. Arsene Wenger, despite the challenge posed by Steve Bruce's men, kept faith with his youngsters and arguably played a weaker team than that which demolished Sheffield United in the previous round. Arsenal should have scored twice in the 14th minute. The first opportunity came when Fran Merida Perez slipped Vela in. The Mexican striker then outpaced Wilson Palacios, but Chris Kirkland got an outstretched hand to the ball as Vela tried to round him. Vela regained possession and the ball eventually found its way to the right side with Jack Wilshere. The 16-year-old then threaded a ball for Simpson to run on to before firing a shot past Kirkland but onto the bar. Kieran Gibbs had a good shot saved three minutes later, but the Wigan keeper had to be at his best on 20 minutes to parry an Aaron Ramsey free-kick that was destined for the top right-hand corner. Vela came close again on 24 minutes when on the edge of the right side of the area he curled in a left-foot shot that was winging its way towards the top left corner, before Kirkland got an outstretched hand to turn the ball around the post. Jason Koumas tested captain for the night Lukasz Fabianski on 26 minutes with a 20-yard drive that the Gunners keeper got the slightest of touches to to push the ball over the bar. Wigan began to carve out more opportunities for themselves and Daniel De Ridder got himself in a good position but his shot from the right side was straight at Fabianski. Arsenal took the lead on 42 minutes after a sublime pass from Wilshire. The youngster picked out a wondrous ball that carved open Wigan allowing Simpson to outstrip Mario Melchiot to toepoke the ball into the net from eight yards out. Gibbs forced a good save out of Kirkland in the 62nd minute after the left-back accelerated on to a Ramsey through-ball and his powerful left-foot shot was blocked by the England keeper. Simpson and Arsenal doubled their tally on 66 minutes after a swift counter-attacking move, the architects of which were Ramsey and Vela. The Welsh midfielder lifted a ball over the struggling Melchiot for Vela to sprint past Emmerson Boyce. With just Kirkland to beat, the striker unselfishly squared the ball for Simpson, who fired a powerful shot into the net from inside the area. The Mexican got his reward five minutes later when put through by Johan Djourou and under pressure from Titus Bramble he showed strength, composure, intelligence and disguise to spot Kirkland off his line to lob the ball into the net. A wondrous double save from Fabianski with just three minutes left on the clock stopped Wigan from gaining a consolation goal. The first was a block from a De Ridder shot after the Dutchman jinked his way past a series of Arsenal players. Then, the Polish kepper was up like a shot to throw himself in front of Amr Zaki to push his shot on to the bar and ensure his side's place in the last eight.

Enrique Morones, arranged a cross border wedding in San Diego for a major cartel drug smuggler with the Border Patrol in attendance. This news report is from December, 2017. Morones is founder of the Border Angels, a far-left, open borders organization. Watch on Bitchute: Enrique Morones Sponsors Drug Cartel Border Wedding One of Morones’ underlings, Hugo Castro, was kidnapped by “organized criminals” — which appears to be a euphemism for a cartel — a few months earlier while apparently working to smuggle asylum seekers to the US border. So, it is believed the group has had contact with illegal smuggling cartels for some time. The group appears to have been doing their own trafficking of humans from southern Mexico and presumably for that reason Hugo Castro was kidnapped, because some traffickers along the route were not paid, who thought they should have been paid.

Overland Park, KS, July 27, 2010 “Joining the social media networks is one of the best ways for the company to stay connected with our clients and keep up-to-date on current industry trends. I think Twitter is one of the greatest social networks available which is why it was selected as the first network Dog Royaltees will participate in,” says Stephanie Frieze, owner of Dog Royaltees. The company’s Twitter account is now active, and Dog Royaltees has already launched a contest to help promote the business. “Our 300 Followers Twitter Contest is straight-forward and easy to enter. Our clients and fans will simply need to add Dog Royaltees to the list of people they currently follow on Twitter,” says Ms. Frieze. “Once our list of followers reaches the number 300, we will select a winner at random to receive a free custom-designed dog t-shirt.” “This is only the beginning of our marketing phase, and Dog Royaltees plans to have several more contests added in the coming months,” said Ms. Frieze. Exact details of those future contests are not currently available, but the contest list is set to include a dog-of-the-month contest, model contest, additional followers contests, and exclusive contests for business owners, organizations, and political groups.

Luke Combs has plans to share a full show from his most recent tour so that fans who are missing live music can experience something close to it once again. The "Better Together" singer shared the news on social media, revealing that his team recorded the full tour. "What would y'all think about me posting a full show to watch?" he asked on Thursday night (Feb. 11). "All the camera angles and everything. Thought it may be pretty cool. Maybe the night of Feb. 18?" His fans were enthusiastic about the concept, to say the least. On Tuesday (Feb. 16) he revealed all the details. The show will be free to watch on his Facebook and YouTube channels. Combs' What You See Is What You Get Tour began in early 2020 but was cut short after just a few dates. Ashley McBryde and Drew Parker were to open the first 10 dates he announced. It's not clear if their sets are a part of the replay. It all begins at 8PM ET. This tour followed his 2019 Beer Never Broke My Heart Tour. The U.S. trek was a seminal moment in the young singer's career. He named the tour before releasing a song of the same name to radio. He booked arena-sized venues when he just had a handful of hit songs, with no guarantee he'd be up to seven No. 1 hits before it wrapped. In 2020, Combs added three more multi-week No. 1 hits, but was not able to play live music — something he alluded to missing very much. Songwriting and a surprise wedding to fiancee Nicole Hocking kept him busy, however. Like all artists, he's hopeful the coronavirus pandemic will subside before the year ends so he can return to the stage. The bulk of his rescheduled dates will come up again starting in August, but Combs has various festival dates to play prior to that. *This story has been updated to reflect the proper tour name and the time for this live stream concert.

Question from Marie: I have a neurological disorder that makes it hard for me to double-click because my hands shake so bad. When I bought my computer they set it up for me so that I could click on a desktop icon and it would open with a single click.

Let’s dive into it. You will hear me talk a lot about my love for men’s clothing (not for men to wear though…for me). I will rant about my lack of basic women skill sets such as not brushing my hair (it’s called au naturel), or how I think I look oh so chic with the natural face look (can’t do makeup for the life of me). I hate carrying a bag (backpacks are the exception-hands free!) If it doesn’t fit it in my pockets, I’m not bringing it. Did I mention I LOVE pockets? But women’s pockets vs men’s pockets? Funny joke. Did you know men have inside pockets?! Literal gamechanger. I know nothing about the female body (does anyone?) Little lingerie sets? How about some flannel pajamas! I know I’m sounding repulsive, but trust me, I am very very good looking. I’m just bad at being a girl. What can I say, I’m a bad girl.

MIDI Controller/Control Surface plug-ins can now filter only the assigned MIDI messages instead of entire MIDI channels. This allows a MIDI controller that only uses a single MIDI port to be used as a controller and ACT surface at the same time. This capability has been implemented in the ACT MIDI Controller, Edirol PCR-M30 and Cakewalk Generic Surface plug-ins. Improved multiprocessing performance at high latency when many AudioSnap events are present in tracks. Notable Fixes: A crash could occur after slip-stretching audio clips multiple times. AudioSnap ‘Quantize to Pool’ did not always obey the selection, and unselected tracks could sometimes be quantized. A crash could occur under rare circumstances when using AudioSnap ‘Quantize to Pool’ to quantize the selection to the time ruler musical pool. MIDI Note Durations were not maintained properly after using the ‘Set Measure/Beat at Now’ command. Control Surface Data could echo and be recorded to MIDI tracks when manipulating ACT controls. The ACT MIDI Controller, Edirol PCR-M30 and Cakewalk Generic Surface plug-ins now properly filter these messages. After installing the 6.0.1 Maintenance Release, please see the ReadMe file for more information. This download includes the English, French, German and Spanish updates. Please note you must have SONAR 6.0 installed in order to run this update. In order to access this free download you must be a registered SONAR 6 customer.

IAM RoadSmart says that many will be making a last minute call regarding their Christmas travel plans this year. In a survey of 1,000 UK drivers, the country's largest road safety charity revealed that 69 percent of drivers are still waiting for firmer government guidelines before finalising their travel plans for the festive period, which it says could give people less time "to prepare for potentially long journeys and make critical vehicle safety checks." Of those that regularly travel more than 150 miles at Christmas time, 40 percent of those said that they would no longer stop at services or other places during their journeys because of concerns regarding the pandemic. Men were most likely to have that outlook with more than half (56 percent) saying they would no longer stop when they usually would, while only 27 percent of women said they'd be unlikely to make stops this year. Drivers from Scotland and London are most likely to forego stops for breaks on long journeys during Christmas this year, with 67 percent and 64 percent respectively saying they wouldn't stop. More than a quarter of Christmas travellers (27 percent) insisted that they still intending to travel more than 100 miles over the festive period this year. "Our research shows that unsurprisingly COVID-19 will have a significant impact on travel plans over Christmas this year," said Neil Greig, policy and research director at IAM RoadSmart. "While it’s understandable that ongoing uncertainty and safety concerns over exposing relatives to the virus has caused many people to postpone their planning, it is important that critical safety steps, such as making vehicle maintenance checks and stopping regularly during long journeys are not overlooked. "Taking a break on a long car journey is essential for the driver, and passengers, to recharge their batteries. Spending too long behind-the-wheel in one stint can lead to drowsiness and a loss of concentration with potentially catastrophic consequences for all road users. Our advice is to take at least a 15-minute break every two hours. More on driving safety Consistent police guidelines needed to stop people flouting laws Nervous driver casualty figures demonstrate need for additional training Charity calls for speeding to be as "unacceptable as drink-driving" Charity wants dealers to familiarise drivers with infotainment systems "The festive season is a busy period for many of us, and this year it will likely be even more challenging as Coronavirus continues to impact our everyday lives. "But road safety and – taking sensible precautions – is everyone’s responsibility when driving, no matter what other pressures are at play. So, we urge everyone to make sure they leave time for important safety measures as they make their travel plans this Christmas."

Beyond the financial success of the project, we were thrilled to receive comments from several community members saying this was their first NFT purchase, and that they were excited to support an initiative they had been following for a long time. The success of this experiment validates that retroactive funding campaigns can be an effective way to fund public goods infrastructure on Ethereum. We hope these NFTs live on as collective memory of the efforts put forward over past two years. Some participants have already started to display the artwork in digital frames! On behalf of the entire team and the EIP-1559 Contributors, THANK YOU for helping this exceed our wildest expectations. Whether you minted a Supporter NFT, bid on the Patron NFT, donated directly, or simply helped raise awareness: your participation was crucial. This will not be the last NFT you see from us for a major Ethereum milestone. 👀 Now, we wait for the London upgrade block 12,965,000 to hit mainnet. ❤️ Stateful Works, _kitteh, Tim Beiko, & Trent Van Epps If you're interested in other projects like this, check out the Beacon Book: a multimedia project (digital text, mintable NFTs, + physical book) featuring the perspectives of 46 Eth2 contributors that worked on the Beacon Chain launch.

I am a graphic designer who has explored new ways of visual communication, learnt speculative design, and developed critical thinking during my studies at Goldsmiths' communication & experiment studio. Maintaining a love for the world and questioning it. Email: ins: xiao_z321 We travel every day between the world of digital and the world of reality. Travel constitutes our cognition and cognition constitutes us. My project is divided into 4 chapters to discuss a trip to Stonehenge using a combination of digital videos, performances, and combination of material and images. Chapter 1 Am I travelling? This is a humorous short film about a trip I took to Stonehenge. I combine digital video and performance to question whether it is my experience that is travelling or my body that is travelling? Chapter 2 I'm travelling I perform around Stonehenge for 30 minutes; I measure and feel Stonehenge with my body like a clock. I had to keep walking, as if time was the only dialogue, I had with it. Chapter 3 Stonehenge on a journey These are stones that can be touched, and the velvet material that I touch surprises me, as does the moment I press the shutter of my camera when I see the mossy growth of the ancient stones. The details of these stones come from my camera shots at Stonehenge. I try to translate the digital experience into a realistic experience. From real to digital to cloth, this is Stonehenge on a journey. Chapter 4 We are travelling I was thinking about our relationship with digital experience, I transformed the digital, giving materiality to the images printed on the fabric, I walked with it and was wrapped up in it, like these moving sculptures, the fabric was part of my body, just as the digital Stonehenge images I saw were part of my cognition and part of me.

A single institutional experience of immune checkpoint inhibitors in the treatment of advanced mucosal melanoma (#223) James C Kuo 1 Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, Toronto, ONTARIO, Canada Background: Mucosal melanoma is rare, accounting for only approximately 1% of all melanoma. Whilst immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) have become the standard of care in advanced cutaneous melanoma, less is known about their efficacy in mucosal melanoma. We report our experience of ICI therapy in patients with advanced mucosal melanoma. Methods: Medical records of all patients with mucosal melanoma who received ICI between January 2014 and December 2016 in our institution were retrospectively reviewed in this cross-sectional, observational study. Objective response, treatment-related toxicity, progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were analyzed. Results: Seventeen patients received ipilimumab (n=11), pembrolizumab (n=5) or nivolumab (n=1). The majority was female (n=14), ≤ 65 years of age (n=11) and, at the time of commencing ICI, had an elevated LDH (n=9), M1c disease (n=14), and no mutation detected in BRAF, KIT or NRAS (n=12). Two patients, both had ipilimumab, had an objective response, including one complete response, ongoing for 21+ months at the time of data cut-off. In addition, three patients, after treatment with pembrolizumab, had stable disease. Overall, the objective response rate was 11.8% and the disease control rate was 29.4%. Three patients ceased treatment due to immune-related adverse events. Five patients who progressed after ipilimumab proceeded to receive pembrolizumab; there was one partial response and one complete response, both durable, for 36.9 and 47.7+ months respectively. After ICI, another 5 patients received other forms of treatment, including chemotherapy (n=4) and investigational agent in a phase I clinical trial (n=1). After a median follow-up of 10.1 months, the median PFS and OS was 3.1 and 8.8 months respectively. Conclusion: ICI therapy may be effective in mucosal melanoma, although the response rate and prognosis remain poor. Other treatment strategies such as sequential or combination ICI need to be explored for this rare melanoma subtype.

for children with severe disabilities in Hamburg. The whole family can spend a few days here and experience a real sense of well-being. Modern LED lighting from Philips contributes to this by ensuring an attractive ambiance.” - Steffen Schumann, Vorstand Hände für Kinder e. V. Customer challenge Kupferhof is a forward-thinking facility for children with severe disabilities. Owned by charity Hände für Kinder e. V. (“Hands for Children”), it gives short-term stays to children so their families can recharge their batteries. Philips was asked to bring pleasing yet practical lighting to the building. The right lighting The Kupferhof care home was taking a modern approach to its facilities. With a focus on intensive, compassionate in-patient care, everything had to be designed to make each child’s stay as pleasant as possible. That meant creating an environment that could adapt to the patient’s individual needs and improve their wellbeing. We got to work on a unique lighting concept. Large luminous panels were added to the corridors, brightening them up with child-friendly color motifs that change continuously. In patient rooms, indirect lighting above the windows produces a pleasant daylight effect, and decorative lamps and nightlights evoke positive emotions. The LED lighting in the bedrooms is also physiologically effective, helping to support the sleep-wake rhythm through the ‘myBuddy’ table lamps. A wide selection of lamps and luminaires has been used throughout the rest of the building, bringing a pleasant and welcoming ambience to every room. The fire safety requirements were met by installing FP-secure in the corridors, a system that combines protective ceiling materials and high-performance Philips luminaires. The custom-made system represents a pioneering sustainable lighting concept for the care sector. Not only is it helping to keep children safe and happy, but energy-efficient LEDs keep costs low too.

Share Jesus Online training sneak peak – with online board and City Bible Forum trainer Caroline Spencer Reframe and Pivot I’ve personally found this lockdown much harder than last year but in God’s kindness, the month of July has brought about opportunities for me to to reframe and pivot. In particular, I’ve had to reframe my mind about not seeing the lockdown as a problem but reframing it as an opportunity. I’ve had to reframe the way I think about what is the best way of working and serving in ministry. More importantly, I’ve had to reframe and relinquish my need to wanting to always be on top of things in this season of life to surrendering this need to God and trusting in his timing. In light of this, God has presented the St John’s team the opportunity to reinvigorate Worker’s Ministry in the city of Parramatta because God’s heart is for us to bear witness and share the gospel to the ends of the earth, and that includes our secular workplaces. I teamed up with my trainer from City Bible Forum, Caroline Spencer to planning and preparing for an online Share Jesus training for our fellow Christian brothers and sisters that work alongside non-believing colleagues. It was a challenging yet joyful and fruitful experience working alongside with Caroline. It was challenging to completely change the workshop that was originally designed for face to face; but in God’s providence, he provided us with the confidence to pivot and the wisdom to wisely come up with content and delivery that would best serve the people that attends. This is meant to be reserved for next month MTS update. But I thought I would give you a sneak peak to how the Share Jesus online training went. Caroline and I were super encouraged by seeing 27 Christian Workers join us on the 14th of August online to think about how to bring Jesus up in conversations in the workplace. We learnt to importance of listening well and asking good questions to better understand what drives and motivates our work colleagues. To then using this understanding to speak about how Jesus is the ultimate fulfillment. I will be providing more update on this event next month – look out for our next MTS update. Prayer Points Please praise God for the 27 Christian workers that attended the Share Jesus training and pray that God would present them with opportunities to listen well, ask good questions and to speak about Jesus in their respective workplaces Please pray that God would provide wisdom to myself and Caroline as we plan for future online training sessions for our Christian workers

I have been thinking a lot about what is necessary to ensure that universities are committed to equality. You and your staff need to ensure that equality issues of every type are factored into every decision made. This might sound ridiculous. But compare finance. Finance is factored into every decision at this university, as it obviously should be. If we don't factor equality into every decision in a similar way, then decisions that hurt equality will inevitably result. I have picked out seven particularly important equality issues which your university faces. Are you prepared to address these problems? 1. Gender pay gap. What is the gender pay gap at your university? For example, if you are my former boss and now VC of Oxford, the headline hourly pay gap is 24.5%, i.e. women earn about 75.5p for every pound men earn. Turn it around and men earn 34.2% more than women. And this understates the problem. Women are far more likely to be part time and therefore on an annual pay basis the gap is probably much worse. For example, by my calculations at the University of St Andrews, the headline pay gap was 21% in 2017, yet the same data shows that men earned 38% more than women per year. 2. Pensions. The gender pay gap feeds directly into pensions disparity. I therefore invite you to state publicly that you accept that pensions are an equality issue, as requested by the open letter available at this link: 3. Casualisation and early career precarity. The path to a stable academic career is a fraught one, and fundamental to equality. Some good steps have been taken here, such as bridging funds for teaching and research staff. But much more needs to be done. It is a particularly vital equality problem because those from disadvantaged groups are less likely to be able to surmount the obstacles the academic career structure puts in their way. 4. Sexual Harrassment. You will be familiar with the Time's Up movement on sexual harassment in the movie industry. Despite existing policies, it is extremely likely that there are sexual harassers at work here, either who have never been identified or those who have been identified but dealt with in what everybody would now agree was too lenient a manner. In fact, perhaps academia’s “Weinstein moment” is now. An article appeared in The National on this topic today, by Vonny Leclerc: “University walls must give up academia's dirty secrets” 5. Disability and Ableism. I was recently amazed to discover just how inaccessible universities remain in general, and how much disabled students and staff have to fight to get even "reasonable adjustments". While not my area of expertise, it is completely clear that the disabled community views university culture as ableist in many ways. 6. Working hours. I'm told that the notional working hours of academic staff is 37.5 hours per week, although I’m not sure if that is the correct number. As a good employer, it is this university’s responsibility to ensure that this is not a notional working time but a real one. What is the university going to do to ensure that in future the contracted hours are all that staff are expected to work? Not to act in this area puts at risk the health and careers of those who are unable to work more than the notional amount, e.g. those with caring responsibilities such as single parents. This could be a form of discrimination. 7. Use of language and communications. Do you believe that you are the kind of academic we all aspire to be, who accepts criticism perhaps grudgingly but definitely gracefully? Yes? Great. Do your staff believe you? Are they sure that criticising you, your decisions, or your senior management team (SMT) will not harm their careers? If your staff have the temerity to do something you don't want them to do, such as for example striking for better pensions, are they confident that their next promotion case will be looked on just as well as any other staff member? I'm sure you are confident that you can give all the right answers. If you're at a USS institution, there's a very good chance your staff disagree with you, especially if your university told UUK that your staff don't deserve good pensions, or that staff who took ASOS deserved anything down to zero pay. Why not find out - commission an independent staff survey to find out what they think of you and your communications with them? Then - if the results are not what you hope for - make sure that you completely reform the way you and your SMT communicate with staff.

My facebook detox is going disturbingly well. I say disturbingly because I didn’t realise how much crap I was feeding my brain until I went off it. Without the daily (sometimes hourly) dose of fake news, bad news, argumentative people and general annoyance that comes from spending too much time on social media, I am noticeably less anxious about the state of the world and I’m sleeping better. All because of one innovative little app… That was tongue in cheek, of course. It’s been a long time since anyone has considered facebook merely an innovative little app. Has anyone else watched The Great Hack? I decided to limit my social media before I watched it, but once I did I had to stop myself from rashly trying to delete every trace of digital me from the I say rashly because we all know it’s far too late for that. It is hands down one of the scariest documentaries I’ve ever watched. It’s also what my dad has been saying for years, but you know, generation gaps and all. This whole thing has made me think long and hard about my online activity and attachment to my phone in a way that I’ve previously ignored, because how bad can it possibly be, right? Everyone’s doing it anyway so if we’re screwed, at least we’re all screwed. But that’s not a rational way of looking at things – we know this. How many times did your parents say to you, if your friends jumped off a cliff, would you follow them blindly? (teenage me, trying to prove a point: YES I WOULD!) Just because most of the world is doing it doesn’t mean it’s creating an environment we want to live in – it’s actually usually the opposite. Although I’m still on instagram, because I’m not bombarded by everyone else’s over-inflated opinions on everything along with the bad news, I don’t find it stressful or overly time consuming. I have a quick scroll through the cute pitbull videos and my friends’ pics and I’m done. I also unfollowed accounts that weren’t making me smile every time I saw them, so I’m only putting in what I want to get out. I spend less time on social media overall and therefore less time on my phone. That in turn made me realise that I’m spending more time looking around me at the physical as that digital separation anxiety eases. I’m finding it easier to put my phone down when I’m doing something important, like playing with my daughter. This is such a simple experiment, but I’m honestly blown away by the significant changes in such a small space of time. Of course, I don’t blame this all on facebook – the problem is more pervasive than one platform. The growing peace I feel also comes from not reading news websites (including ‘news’ websites – yes Daily Mail, that’s you) and instead just catching the headlines on the radio every other day, because unfortunately the news today – whether it’s real or fake – is 90% depressing. I’m creating a bubble to live in, because the world that we’ve created for ourselves is just not a place I want to be spending a lot of time in. We spend more time on our phones than we do taking in real life around us. None of us is immune to it. We’re starting to wake up to the intrusive infiltration that our digital addiction feeds into our deepest consciousness, but we do it anyway. We are just like the lemmings who would follow their friends off that proverbial cliff. What has occurred to me in the last two weeks though, is that while we may not be able to escape it, we can mute it. And honestly now that I have, I’m just happier.

In this presentation, we will look at the process for designing and developing courses used in the University of California's Online Instruction Pilot Project by focusing on the activities of three main groups involved in the project: instructional designers, faculty, and instructional designers and faculty working together. In the analysis of these activities, we argue not only that the pilot project has engendered a new openness in the discussion around and practice of university teaching but also that it has given rise to three new communities of practice that reach across our university system.

This paper describes GRADE, a statistical machine learning system developed to support the work of the graduate admissions committee at the University of Texas at Austin Department of Computer Science (UTCS). In recent years, the number of applications to the UTCS PhD program has become too large to manage with a traditional review process. GRADE uses historical admissions data to predict how likely the committee is to admit each new applicant. It reports each prediction as a score similar to those used by human reviewers, and accompanies each by an explanation of what applicant features most influenced its prediction. GRADE makes the review process more efficient by enabling reviewers to spend most of their time on applicants near the decision boundary and by focusing their attention on parts of each applicant's file that matter the most. An evaluation over two seasons of PhD admissions indicates that the system leads to dramatic time savings, reducing the total time spent on reviews by at least 74%. IAAI Deployed Application Award.

Apologies for the delay in publishing this update, it has taken some time to get accurate information and images from the school. The earthquakes that have devastated Nepal were felt all over the India. The Darjeeling area in northeast India is close to the Nepalese border, and has had very strong shocks and after shocks – which are still occurring. The good news is that Hannah Memorial Academy school buildings – which are now constructed with steel reinforced concrete pillars – have suffered only comparatively minor damage. The buildings have been professionally inspected and apart from one pillar which may need replacement, the damage is non-structural cracks, albeit in every classroom. They will require making good and redecorating, which won’t take place until aftershocks cease – they are still continuing, and causing much fear and anxiety. Since the first earthquake the children have either been taught outside, or neighbouring undamaged houses, in small groups for the quickest evacuation if needed. There has been massive disruption in the whole area, people all over the district have been sleeping outdoors for fear of tremors at night. In Darjeeling and other towns, densely populated and with high buildings in multi-occupation, people have been too frightened to sleep inside, so have been outside all night – sleeping in cars, tents, shelters – and its the rainy season, to add to the misery and fear. We speak regularly with people from the school to and in due course there will be work to do to put right the damage. Huge thanks to you all for your support, the children, their families, the teachers and all connected to the school feel hugely comforted and grateful that they are supported by you, in their efforts to create a better life for their children and themselves. We will keep you updated, and Christine and Roger – who started the charity – will be going out in November to ensure all is well. Hopefully, no more earthquakes! We have more images of the damage to the school. If you would like to see these or feel the need for any further information, then do please email

I've always loved his mischievous "I know something you don't" twinkle in his eyes. He's ever the charming rogue. Bobby Smith's performance style seems more ethereal. He often closes his eyes, intensely feeling every note, every lyric, but then, when you least expect it, he will almost burst into a jig as pure joy takes hold of him. (Go ahead and bust a move, Bobby--there are those of us who will join in the dance!) And of course, center stage: the luminous muse, Jan Smith. Her voice is beyond gorgeous--it's hard to take your eyes off of her. (And husband Dudley hasn't, for 30+ years!) Jan doesn't need a spotlight, she IS a spotlight! As if the night couldn't get any better, they sang one of my favorites for the encore. Thank you, my friends, for a magical night." - Lane Voltz Barry For 50 years, five decades, the focus of Smithfield Fair has been harmony vocals and original songs deftly placed over acoustic instrumentation. Smithfield Fair has presented its heartfelt original music and arrangements of traditional songs across the United States on concert and festival stages; in historic venues and theatres; at large events such as the World's Fair, New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival and Kerrville Folk Festival; as well as in the most intimate coffeehouses, cafes and house concerts. Flowers In Her Hair, Longships, James of the Glen, God Never Sleeps, Flying High and other Smithfield Fair songs have become popular internationally through constant radio, satellite and internet airplay. Smithfield Fair continues to be a true original, creating hopeful and imaginative songs, and performing them with passion, honesty and humor.

Listen to and purchase Smithfield Fair music here: AMAZON A SHORT HISTORY OF SMITHFIELD FAIR Smithfield Fair began in Pensacola, Florida in 1973 under the name 'Laughter' as a project by Dudley-Brian Smith and Dwight Beebe to promote original songs sung with harmony and backed by acoustic instrumentation. The trio’s first recording contract came in 1974 when they worked with famed producer Bud Reneau (songwriter/producer, Dobie Gray and others) in Nashville. Dubbed by one reviewer as “the perfect café band”, Laughter moved home in 1976 to Alexandria, Louisiana where Dudley’s brothers Joel and Bob, auxiliary members since the start, joined full time. The group changed its name to 'Charmer' and released its first single, 'A Place In Your Heart' in 1977 on legendary Floyd Soileau's One Way Records, expanding recognition regionally. Founding the independent Rapides Records in 1980, they issued their first album, 'Only the Wind' in 1981 followed by ‘Must Be The Gypsy’ in 1982 which boosted them into concert openings for such artists as Louisiana’s LeRoux, Zachary Richard and Arlo Guthrie. In 1983, Joel left to pursue other projects, but rejoined in 1985 for a time. Also in 1983 singer/songwriter Jan Dedon Smith joined brothers Dudley-Brian and Bob and the group continued concert appearances with artists such as Jesse Winchester, John Prine, Nancy Griffith; touring the South with New York’s The Washington Squares; and appearing at such legendary venues as Storyville Jazz Hall in New Orleans, Rockafella’s in Houston, and even the 1984 World’s Fair. By 1989 the group had moved toward the Scottish music of their shared heritage, and the group once more changed its name, this time to 'Smithfield Fair', blending traditional and original songs. They were soon joined by nephew Frank Bladen on bodhran; he remained until 2008. Smithfield Fair became recognized world-wide as one of the foremost presenters of Scottish music in North America. During this period, the group signed a four-album deal with Centaur World Records, giving them international distribution. They continued a busy performance schedule regularly working with a Who’s Who of celebrated Celtic performers that included Alasdair Fraser, Eileen Ivers, Brian McNeill, the Battlefield Band, the Tannahill Weavers, Archie Fisher, Andy M. Stewart and Alex Beaton. For twenty years, they received continual critical praise for the group’s strong, seamless pairing of traditional and original songs, and enjoyed international radio and internet airplay. However, the heritage movement began to wind down in the early part of the new millennium, so Smithfield Fair again focused on its original music. Performances continued at such venues as the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, and Smithfield Fair’s music was increasingly used nationally in movies, television and web programs and radio campaigns. Since 2014, the group’s original song Sweet Sugar Cane has been licensed by the Louisiana-based American Sugar Cane League and continues as a promotional theme. Today, the group’s longest-standing line-up of Jan (vocals, accordion, guitar, piano), Bob (vocals, acoustic bass, percussion) and Dudley-Brian Smith (vocals, acoustic guitars, mandolin) continues to actively perform and release new, original music – with album number 35 slated for an early 2021 release. "Smithfield Fair, an folk/roots band has mesmerized audiences worldwide over the radio, television, film, clubs and concert halls...has earned praise for its tight arrangements, elegant song selection and some of the most haunting vocal harmonies this side of heaven." - R.U. Eddy, GrisGris Magazine Smithfield Fair sounds like no one else. Their folky mix is awash with elements of Celtic, jazz, blues, swamp-pop and gospel, and continues to demonstrate an uncommonly original and versatile approach fortified with passion, creativity and imagination.

I continuously look to improve my development practices, and recently I’ve begun to use TypeScript which led to a huge improvement in my development...

Earlier in August, the Red Sox added to their outfield depth picture by acquring veteran outfielder Delino DeShields Jr. from the Rangers in exchange for cash considerations. DeShields only lasted a few weeks in the organization before being sent back out with cash coming back to the Red Sox. The team announced on Tuesday that they were trading DeShields to the Reds in exchange for cash considerations. The #RedSox today traded minor league OF Delino Deshields Jr. to the Cincinnati Reds, in exchange for cash considerations. — Red Sox (@RedSox) August 31, 2021 DeShields Jr., a former top 10 overall pick, spent his brief time in the organization entirely with Worcester, appearing in 18 games for Boston’s Triple-A affiliate. In that time he hit .210/.355/.355. The 29-year-old is extremely athletic and plays strong defense in center field while making an impact on the bases, but he doesn’t really hit enough at this point to really stick in the majors. Without DeShields in the fold, Worcester now has Franchy Cordero, Johan Mieses, Joey Meneses, and Tate Matheny as outfield options. Danny Santana may also factor into the mix if his rehab is moved to Triple-A. This move could also potentially pave the way for a call-up from Portland. Jeisson Rosario, for example, has struggled for most of the year but has an .806 OPS this month. The team could potentially want to see him for a couple of weeks at Triple-A before any potential 40-man decisions have to be made this winter. Tyreque Reed and Devlin Granberg have mostly been handling the other outfield duties in Portland of late.

The Horizon • January 25, 2022 • Crow Column: The Crows are back in town Cayla Won, The Horizon The crows are back baby! Katie Sherwood, Capstone Editor After the lengthy and lonesome winter break, students fill Westmont’s campus once again and the crows could not be happier. The murder, which seems to have grown exponentially over the break, can be seen clogging the tree branches near Lovik field and Thorrington Track. They have also started hanging out with their student buddies again. The crows gather on the tables in the DC patio and have even piled into the Monroe Room, where the social half of the student body eats. Surprisingly, the crows seem to have no qualms about the tight spaces. Normally, these birds thrive with a constant bubble of personal space — ideally a length of about six feet — however, they seem perfectly happy stacked one on top of the other in the Monroe booths and on the little tables. Some students have reported a murder flying in a tizzy around Page Hall. A few adventurous birds have even tapped on the windows and hopped through the hallways to join in the impromptu golf tournaments that have cropped up in the usual Page Hall chaos. When asked their thoughts on all the fun happening amidst the standing COVID-19 protocols, one crow bystander simply offered a blank stare, as if they had no idea what the question meant, before hopping away to place a bet on who would win the golf tournament. Not all of the crow population is staying on campus, though, as a large number have hitched a ride on the shuttle and gone to party at the beach. They line up near the volleyball courts to squabble with the seagulls. A few even join their human friends in a game or two of volleyball, though crows are notorious cheaters. Others wander off and get lost in the bustle of State Street. A smaller murder of crows fly by the outdoor seating areas of restaurants and coffee shops to steal masks laying forgotten on the tables. It is an interesting sight to see them puzzling over the strange contraption. One crow looped one end of the mask around its neck to make a cape. Another strung up each end on two branches in a tree to make a little hammock. Still another tried sticking each wing in the ear loops to make a convenient portable basket for carrying trinkets found around the city. It is a wonder that these intelligent birds still cannot figure out the correct way to wear a mask! The joy the crows exude is highly contagious. Here at the Horizon and across the student body, we are excited to see what the rest of this year will hold with our crow friends.

Dark, Porter like pour that promises a rich experience but comes up a little short. Good size tan head with some nice lacing. Mouthfeel lacked body. Some hop bitterness comes through but it sits against the back-drop of thin feeling brew. This was on the brink of being a really nice beer, but fell a bit short for me, leaving me somewhat unsatisfied. Neede more malty a body to balance the rye promise.

At this moment, much of the West Coast of the United States is under a constant cloud of smoke. What started as a series of out of control wildfires in California last month has continued to spread, leaving parts of the state as well as neighboring regions of Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and Arizona looking entirely unrecognizable. Fire weather warnings are ongoing across much of the region, according to the National Weather Service, and a significant amount of damage has already been done, with much more expected. The August Complex, the fire that started this latest spout of flames, is officially the largest wildfire in California's recorded history. The fire, which has been burning since August, has destroyed more than 471,000 acres and continues to burn. Across the western states, it is believed that nearly three million acres of land have already been lost, according to the New York Times. The fires have claimed at least seven lives so far, despite evacuation efforts, and many fear that more lives have already been lost in rural towns that were nearly entirely consumed by the wildfires. There is little indication that these fires will stop any time soon. Firefighting resources are stretched thin across the West Coast, and conditions in the region are unfortunately perfect for allowing the fire to continue. Much of these western states are expected to experience low humidity, high temperatures, and winds that can help the flames to quickly spread across dry areas. A weekend heat wave that passed through the region has not helped conditions, either. The fires across the West Coast are devastating, forcing millions from their homes, blocking out the sun for many and creating an eerie red tint to the sky that looms over the course of the day. But the situation was also sadly predictable. Experts had warned that this year's fire season could be particularly catastrophic, fueled largely by human activity. Climate change has created the kinds of conditions needed to exacerbate and fan the flames of these wildfires, which can often be caused by human behavior in the first place. In California, one of the largest ongoing fires was the result of a pyrotechnic device used as part of a gender reveal party. Making matters worse this year was the coronavirus pandemic, which left many states short on resources and able-bodied individuals available to fight these fires. In California, the underpaid labor of incarcerated people is often relied upon to help fight these fires, but many of those who work on California's fire prison camps have been sidelined due to coronavirus. While the fires that are currently burning across the West Coast can be explained, it doesn't make them any less devastating. Here is a look at what residents of California, Oregon, Washington, and other states throughout the region are dealing with.

Emor opens with a description of the laws of holiness for the Kohanim (priests), specifically as regards the death of close relatives or proximity to corpses. Under ordinary circumstances, contact with the dead is prohibited for a Kohen, although Chazal (our blessed sages) teach us that there are cases in which a priest may attend to the preparation and burial of a relative, even up to and including the Kohen Gadol (High Priest), who may be the officiant of last resort. The Talmud teaches that a Kohen is required to become unclean to properly attend to the burial of his deceased wife. Rabbis Moshe Feinstein and S. R. Hirsch suggest that these laws are intended to encourage the Kohanim to teach their children from an early age regarding the importance of keeping themselves and their actions in balance as is required by their elevated status; they are priests by gift of birth, but the special benefits they enjoy require moderation with the care and discretion they must practice over the course of their lifetimes. A series of laws which echo the same theme follow, outlining the differences between the Kohanim of old and everybody else. Then, at Emor’s conclusion, we encounter a curious piece of narrative. The son of a mixed marriage—an unnamed Egyptian father and a Jewish mother from the tribe of Dan—gets into an argument with an anonymous Israelite, during which the son blasphemously pronounces the Name of G-d. He is removed from the camp and stoned to death by those who heard the curse. We do not know the subject of the argument, nor why it got so out of hand that capital punishment was indicated. But we can speculate. Some say that the son was critical or dismissive of the Tabernacle ritual. Others suggest that the argument was personal, and that a hot-headed young man took what should have been a rational debate and allowed it, being unschooled in self-control, to escalate one step too far. Rashi infers from the text that the issue concerned the tribal identity of the son, who had been denied residence among Dan since, while Jewish due to his mother, he had no tribal lineage since his father was not Jewish. Several Midrashim even suggest that the man’s father was none other than the Egyptian officer killed by Moses, given a parallel anomaly in the language with which each is described. Despite the Israelite son’s unique status as a tribeless Jew, G-d reminds us that the same laws apply to a resident stranger, proselyte, or native. The well-known litany of legal tit-for-tat (life for a life…eye for an eye…tooth for a tooth…etc.) follows; in other words, you do the crime, you do the time, regardless of who you are. Why does Emor bookend the parsha with these two pieces of text? The common thread between the two is that the responsibility for moral and ethical education begins at home, in a broad sense. At Emor’s opening, the Kohanim learn that their elevated status does not preclude them from the responsibilities they must undertake, even to their own detriment or defilement. At the Parsha’s closing, we learn that not even having a child who is a product of a mixed marriage, a broken home, a single parent, or having a tribal identity problem absolves their parents and society from offering proper instruction in spiritual and societal values. Sadly, it’s when there is an ethical imbalance in a home, community, or society, that spiritual impurity or moral degradation are most likely to occur. We have become too used to simply accepting it as reality. It does not, however, need to be so. If the same rules apply both to the most privileged in society and to its most disadvantaged, why isn’t it yet in our nature to take responsibility for each other? Why do we habitually segregate ourselves, physically and idealistically, when we can all help each other achieve the sense of hegemony the Torah describes and G-d desires? The text even makes the connection through parallelism in its language. Emor’s opening, in discussing the Kohanim who represent and sanctify G-d, invokes the prohibition against blaspheming His Name. The parsha’s conclusion, in describing the man who is killed for blasphemy, connects to the sanctification of the Divine. Where can we get the inspiration to make the connection ourselves and change the world? The Masoretic mnemonic for the 124 verses in Emor spells the Hebrew word “Uziel.” It's translation?

C.A.M Gallery is hosting Ismet Dogan’s solo show with the series ‘Autos’ and ‘Appropriation’, consisting of the artist’s fictionalised hybrid narration using a hybrid media. In these works Dogan ‘corrupts’ western art history interfering with production techniques. He describes the ‘Appropriation’ (art of taking possession) series as “I am appropriating the things that I’ve come across, that I was exposed to and interpreting them in a different way.” “In man’s world everything has a name and things exist in it with their names.” says Bekir Avci and remarks that the ‘limits’ of this world is circumscribed by language. he thinks that the artist makes a nod to proportional representation with these works and says: “In Dogan’s ‘Autos’ series we see that what is natural is beyond the limitations of man. Dogan demonstrates this not only by changing their names but also by changing their places. This is highlighted by the way the names of the plants and insects have been pinned on them and spread over the maps. This is a recognition of the roots not accepting any limitations. Dogan, invites us to rebel against the norm by labelling what is yellow and mouldy as ‘called lemon’ or what has turned to dust as ‘called butterfly’. Ismet Dogan was born in Adıyaman in 1957. He graduated from Marmara University of Fine Arts in 1983 and then went to Paris with the scholarship of the French Government and stayed there for two years.. He returned to Turkey in the 90s and settled in Istanbul. In his first works in the 80s he raised questions by mixing history, culture, tradition and dadaism, technics, collage, montage, graffiti and ready-made objects. As a thinker he focused on the way the project of gave birth to terror and trauma. His works expose the adoption of the Latin alphabet in early 20th century which brought about the language reforms together with the politicisation of the cultural reforms. According to Ismet Dogan it is these political undertakings that later were instrumental in bringing about the alienation of the people from its cultural heritage. Words, letters and mirrors, randomly dispersed on his canvas represent Dogan’s works on the question of modernisation. In 2000s he adds a new critical perspective to his works by focusing on colonialism, approaching it with references from art history and cinematographic imagery. Ismet Dogan makes small changes by putting his own image in movie scenes by building a new identity with the characters whilst criticising the western visual culture. Now, mirrors become a principal material for Dogan. Using mat, clear and concave mirrors he invites the viewers to see themselves multiply into many and also become distorted.

(Here, we are posting one of our favorite essays written by our dear Chloe Ortega of WSA352, under the pen name Kryptonymus. Anyone who is familiar with the Lodge and our views on esotericism would understand clearly why this writing is very important to us. This essay was firstly published in Nexion Zine. We are thankful to Chloe for sending us a Word version of the essay so we can republish it here. - ABG Lodge) .:. I’ve heard dozens and dozens of people of the past 10 years of my cyber-travels ask the question regarding secret societies such as the OTO & Freemasonry: “How is it a secret if it’s everywhere?” In other words, how is it a secret society, if there are temples and lodges in every city, members got insignias on their cars, they maintain websites, etc? The answer is that the existence of such societies are not secret, and neither are the ideologies of these groups a secret. But everything else about such societies are secret or private. Groups like the OTO are a “society of secrets.” Secrets in the sense that the internal stuff of such groups are closed to the general public. For example, the initiation rituals are secret, as well as the private modes of recognition such as grips and passwords, ritual work, etc. Groups like the OTO and Freemasonry also have a different layer of “secrets,” which is the “esoterica” of the symbolism and allegories used. In this sense, there are some American gangs which are secret societies… or societies with secrets. In old days, the crips and bloods actually had – or still have – secrets. For example the Bloods from the East coast have their “Book of Knowledge,” which is the culture, mythos, folklore, history, and teachings taught to new “initiates” by word of mouth catechistically. This would be something you memorize and pass on orally. So for example, if a young crip were to be asked by a random OG questions like: 1) What year did the crips start in and where, 2) what kind of field was it, 3) what was the name of the high school, 4) what was the name of the street, 5) how many deep was the original crip gang, 6) what were they called, 7) what was the name of the initiation song, 8) what was the dress code, 9) what’s “your crown isn’t high” mean, & 10) break down C.R.I.P. If the young crip did not know any of the answers, then something ain’t right with him. He’s isn’t “bona fide,” in other words. It may be that the young crip is just claiming to be a crip, but was not made one by a legit crip gang. Otherwise his people would have taught him the private oral knowledge so he can answer the questions if and when asked. The answers being: 1) 1969, 2) in a football field, 3) located on the campus of John C. Fremont high school, 4) on San Pedro street; 5) the original crip gang was 18 deep, 6) they were called the Avenue Cribs, 7) the initiation song was called “The rich have to cry, the poor have to cry,” 8) they wore Levis, acey duecy hats, and a walking cane; 9) “ya crown isn’t high” means that you ain’t cripping to the fullest, not putting in all you’ve got, not repping to the fullest, 10) the breakdown of C.R.I.P is Constructed Revolution In People. The same goes for groups like the OTO and Freemasonry. If a person claims to be an OTO initiate and you asked him or her the question: “In whom do you put your trust,” and they don’t answer it right, something is wrong with their “credentials.” The question is taken from the First Degree initiation ritual of the OTO. The only correct answer for the OTO is: “In myself.” If the guy claims to be a Mason, and you asked him the same question: “In whom do you put your trust,” and he doesn’t have the right answer, it implies that he was never initiated in the First Degree, since that question is from the First Degree. In Freemasonry, the only right answer to that question is: “In God.” Or the Mason can be asked: “What’s the wage of a Mason?” The only real answer is: Corn, Wine, & Oil. If he didn’t have the right answer, he reveals that he was never initiated into the Second Degree. And the question can be asked: “How many steps did you take to be a Mason all together?” The answer would be roughly: “Six feet from West to East.” If the man didn’t give the right answer, then he reveals that he was never initiated a 3rd Degree Master Mason. The same goes for traditional Haitian Voodoo. In Haiti, Voodoo isn’t just a religion or “cult.” Each sect/group is an independent secret society with secret grips, passwords, and catechism. If someone claims to be an Initiate of this species of Voodoo, then they should be able to answer basic questions such as: 1) what’s an Oum’phor, 2) what are reposoirs, 3) what is a voodo-sih, 4) where were you purified, 5) how many times were you ‘put to bed’ [couche], 6) how long did your purification last, 7) what did you wear during your initiation, 8) what is an asson, 9) what is the meaning of ‘li pas te alle en bas d’leau,’ & 10) what is the name of the Voodoo asson and what does it mean? The questions are taken from the very initiation ritual the Voodoo claimant should have gone through. Thus, if she or he cannot answer these questions, they reveal that they did not in fact get initiated. The answers are: 1) the Oum’phor is what a voodoo temple is called, 2) the reposoirs are trees in the yard of the Oum’phor in which the gods and spirits dwell, 3) a voodo-sih is a “voodoo adept,” 4) I was purified in the Djevo, which is a room adjacent to the Oum’phor, 5) how many times you couche [go to bed] depends on the mystere [loa] being called to oversee your initiation, for example the number of Erzulie is 6 [days], 6) the initiate must remain in the djevo for 21 days, 7) the initiate wears nothing, is nude, and cannot wear any kind of jewelry, 8) an Asson is a calabash rattle which is the symbol of the office and authority of the houn’gan or mam’bo the initiators, 9) ‘li pas te alle en bas d’leau’ means a false houn’gan or mam’bo who was not given the asson by a mystere but takes one anyway, & 10) the name of the voodoo asson isKoheleth-a-dom. Coeleth, Co-Le-Th, Co-Le-Tha, or Koheleth [depending on the region, argot/dialect, oral tradition, and sect] in voodoo tradition signifies that man is dependent not upon himself, but upon the supernatural occult forces, called by voodoo initiates various things such as ‘mysteres,’ ‘angels,’ ‘saints,’ or ‘loas.’ This last question and its answer may actually shed some esoteric light on the second Black Book of Satan of the ONA, called: Caelethi, which deals with the Dark Gods. The Dark Ones/Gods of course being supernatural [acausal] occult forces/beings. Each Dark God has its own “sigil,” called a “veve” in Haitian voodoo. Like the mysteres/loas of this species of traditional voodoo, many of the Dark Gods have their own traditional chants. The voodoo loas are called down from Ife – their supernatural realm – and they make their presence felt in various ways. The Dark Gods are called down from the acausal into our causal realm, and the Dark is Presenced in various ways. These supernatural occult forces make their presence felt sometimes magically, sometimes subtly, sometimes via visions in trance states [pathworking, frenzy, etc, in ONA]. But these supernatural occult forces do make their presence felt to the initiate. But why the secrecy and silly questions? If you are an idealist, then such questions are of no worth or use. Why so? Because why do you need to know the answer to silly questions if all you are into the OTO, Thelema, Satanism, Masonry, ONA, Islam, Buddhism, whatever for is to believe in a set of ideas, ideals, ideations, ideologies? For example, as an idealist: who cares about the details of where you go to wash yourself and how many faucets there are when you’re in Mecca on your Hajj when all you want to do is believe in the ideation/ideological memes of Allah and Jihad? I mean really, what do water faucets have anything to do with God and Jihad? Who cares about the details of Che’s life and how he became who he was, if all you want to do is wear his face on a tee-shirt because you like the IDEA of revolution. If you are a pragmatist, you’ll understand the practical use and nature of such questions. It has to do with circles of trust; how much you can say, share, and reveal to whom; and also with the issue of legitimate authority. For instance, it’s a matter of security and safety for a crip or blood to not trust any old somebody with a blue or red rag. It’s stupid and naïve to do so. If two unfamiliar crips or bloods are going to get together and “do business,” with each other, both parties have it in their interest to challenge the other to make sure they are “real” crips or bloods and not fakes, wannabes, or undercover cops roll playing. If the guy is an undercover cop, then your ass is going to jail if he witnesses you committing a crime. If the guy is a fake or a wannabe, it means he likes the aura and mythos of the gang and likes to attention and way people behave with him, but most likely, he won’t be down to do any real crime, cuz he’s just toying with the idea and not actually living it. With something like the OTO – since it’s a sex “cult” – you just can’t believe some random person claiming to be a high initiate of the OTO. Otherwise you’d be having 11th degree anal sex magick with random claimants all over the place. You lack some faculty or mechanism of differentiation, where you can’t tell those who are actually initiated into your Way and Culture, and those who simply are toying with the idea because such falsely acquired identity gives such claimants an image whereby they are treated boy others in certain ways they desire to be seen or treated. With Freemasonry, in olden times – circa 1500-1800 – on many places that were Catholic Church controlled, being a Freemason was a major crime punishable by death. There is this thing called: Infiltration. If a Catholic infiltrator were placed in the company of Masons to collect information and intelligence, and you were stupid where you simply believes and accepted anybody claiming to be a Mason to be a bona fide Mason you would risk your own life and the lives of others. The functioning idea here is that you are not challenging the other person to disprove him or to reveal that he is a fake. The functioning idea is: self-preservation and personal security. Haitian voodoo has a long and very interesting history. Haiti was the first black “colony” in the New World to gain independence. The struggle and fight those slaves had to go through to gain that freedom from their European masters dealt with real wars, real killing, real revolution, etc. The independent secret voodoo societies and the networks such groups formed with other groups were crucial in this struggle of civil uprising. Being able to tell a fake voodoo initiate, from an infiltrator was a matter of life and death, and freedom and continued slavery. Again, the working idea is that you are not challenging the other person to reveal that he is a fake, as if to win some dick sizing contest. The working practical idea is personal security. Why would these Haitian slaves in these voodoo secret societies need personal security? So that they can continue their work – their Struggle – unmolested/unharmed by the powers that be. This is a very important point of view. Regarding the ONA In a document written in the 1990’s it is stated: [Begin Quote] The ONA is organized on the basis of cells, basically for two reasons: (1) Security and (2) Effectiveness. The structure means that each new Initiate/member has one (at most two) Order contacts who channel information/teachings and so on, and who offer guidance/instruction. When this member reaches the stage of External Adept, they usually form their own Temple for ceremonial magick and for teaching, recruiting their own members, whose Order contact thus is that External Adept. Each Temple thus formed exists independently. Hence, if it or any of its members are ‘compromised’, the chain cannot lead very far, enabling other members in other Temples to remain secret and so continue with their own work, both personal (following the path to Adeptship) and aeonic (aiding the sinister dialectic). Further, such a structure is effective, because: it enables each member to progress at their own pace; it enshrines a fundamental principle of genuine Satanism [individuality, and freedom from subservience to authority] and it enables practical experience of a character-building type [e.g. by organizing and running a Temple at an early stage]. Essentially, the Order is secret – and intends to remain so as far as most of its members and activities are concerned. – ONA, Hysteron Proteron, Organizational Structure [End Quote] So even since the 90’s the ONA has described itself as being a secret order, for reasons of security and effectiveness. The Order is cellular in structure. Cells here meaning individuals and groups. Like a civil resistance movement in Europe during Nazi occupation times. Such an ordering of people who share a common goal and vision of freedom needs to be secret so they can do their work. They also need to be loosely based on independent cells. If one resistance cell is discovered and its members captured, the other cells are safe to continue to do their work, because the resistance is not actually an organized organization with a central leader calling the shots. Each cell is its own thing. The cells just carefully work together to actualize a common goal they have. In such an environment and condition, even though different cells may have to work together, there is – and must always – be an air or attitude of distrust: never to fully trust anybody outside of your own cell; no matter what they claim. Even if you have witnessed members of some other cell put in the dirty work like you do, you still can’t trust them completely. For, it may be that such other members of such other cells may be genuine in their resistance, but trusting other cells too much may jeopardize your own cell, if say the other cell gets caught and information forced out of them. Concerning Nyms: [Begin Quote] Initiate Names a) Some suggestions, based on names traditionally used in sinister Temples: Male: Oger, Hacon, Serell, Noctulius, Athor, Engar, Aulwynd, Algar, Suevis, Angar, Wulsin, Gord, Ranulf Female: Sirida, Eulalia, Lianna, Aesoth, Richenda, Edonia, Annia, Liben, Estrild, Selann b) Contract and/or transpose your own name to form another; for example, ‘Conrad Robury’ gives Cabur, Nocra and so on. c) Find a demon form with whom you feel an affinity, and use that name, either as it is or contracted/transposed. d) Construct your name from a Satanic phrase or chant – for example, ‘Quinvex’ can be derived from the ‘Quando Vindex’ of the Diabolus. What is important about all the above is that you feel ‘attracted’ to a particular name or phrase. Whatever method is used, the name or phrase should derive from traditional Satanism (as explicated in this book) and for this reason names/demons deriving from other traditions should not be used. –Black Book of Satan [End Quote] During my era, an odd critical remark the mundane Satanists make about ONA people is that they use pseudonyms [nyms] and not their real government Christian names like they [the mundanes] do. Therefore – according to their mundanely non sequitur logic – if a person uses a fake name, and doesn’t reveal their real identity on Facebook, then they are fakers. BTW, in my era, the American NSA is collecting face pictures off cyberspace – such as facebook – to put into their face recognition database. Ever since the old days of the Black Book of Satan, it has been suggested and taught that initiates of the ONA pick and use a pseudonym or an “initiate name,” and not their real names. In fact, anybody who is anyone in ONA culture is known by their nyms, initiate names, pen names, whatever: Anton Long, Steven Brown, Christos Beest, Hagur, etc. And over the years this idea of having “initiate names” has evolved into the use of pseudonyms and even pseudo-personas. What’s a “pseudo-persona” mean here when I use it? Like the persona behind Mark Twain versus his real everyday personality. Like the difference between the actual person of David Myatt versus the mythos of Anton Long. Like the difference between the artists Richard Moult and the persona attached to Christos Beest when he was involved with ONA. Like who we know as Anton LaVey, as opposed to who this man really was on a mundane everyday moment. Personality develops along with names and new found identities. It’s the psychological “magick” behind the use of mottos in groups like the Golden Dawn and OTO. You’re no longer just some ordinary person. Your motto is Therion by golly! And this Therion name begins to develop its own personality/persona. Therion is a philosopher, a guru, a master magickian, a prophet of Thelema. Anton Long isn’t just some random person from a small town in the middle of nowhere! He’s the master mind of an occult criminal organization! Beesty Boy isn’t just a guy who doodles and plays the piano by his lonesome self in the middle Scotland somewhere. He’s Christos Beest: an evil Nazi human sacrificing devil worshiping guy with magical powers to call upon the very forces of darkness! This psychological magic is a time honored method of forging a new person out of somebody. When you join something like TM or the Self Realization Fellowship or the Hare Krishnas – whatever – you eventually are given a new name. You’re no longer Bob Smith of Smalltown America. You’re Baba Ji’s initiate Rajeesh Hindustani. And you’re not ordinary, you’re a person on a quest for the secrets of… Kriya Yoga! Of oneness with Krishna! You’re on your way to be a Bodhisattva! When you convert/revert to Islam, you’re no longer Jimmy Jones of Somewhere Alaska. You’re Mustafa al-Ameriki! And you’re not ordinary, no sir, cuz one day you will walk several times around a big black brick cube in the middle of a desert! And that shit works. It causes you to develop into a new person over time. Families and gangs do this. In a big family you end up being called by a nickname family members just give to you: Uncle Chuck, Skinny Jimmy, Smiley, Snoop Dog. Having these nicknames or “new names” does something to you. Those new names aren’t simple ordinary generic names on some birth certificate. People who like you, love you, want you, gave you that name to you; to signify that they accept you. You belong to somebody. You’re wanted. It’s more personal than a generic name. It identifies you with that group… and it causes you to gradually identify stronger with that group. As a new gang banger, when your new gang fellas gives you a new name, you are more inclined to develop a deeper bond with those guys, and thus, you become more willing to participate in the same criminal activity and behavior they do. If it’s not a new name, a new title works just as effectively in transforming you into a new person over time. Put in enough time and energy into the Mormon Church and you’ll get the title “Elder,” and that means something in that specific social order. The title Father of a Catholic sect does the same. You were given a new “name” [title]: you are wanted and liked, honored even. And your personality changes and develops into someone/something new to live up to that new title. And “Adept” of the ONA thusly understood, isn’t just an empty title. It’s a conduit of inner change. A nym understood thusly isn’t just a random pseudonym, it is the seed of a new personality, a new type of person, and even one’s muse. Have you ever thought about what the persona Anton Long can say and express and write that David Myatt can never say, express, and write? Or as a muse: the nym Christos Beest, and the identification with the ONA acted as a muse to the artist RM in such a way that he was inspired for a time to produce artwork, chants, music. I’m writing from the point of view of a pragmatist though, or a “realist,” and not an idealist or theoretician. To a theoretician who deals with belief-sets, theories, ideas, etc. Things like pseudonyms, pen names, alter egos, personas, titles, have no use, worth, or meaning. They actually get in the way of believing in ideas, thinking about ideations, and juggling theories. From a down to earth perspective, as a realist, if we have some desire to change ourselves into a new person, or new type of human being [as ONA states is a goal of an initiate]: what exactly does that mean in Reality. What is meant here by “person,” or “human being,” that which we are trying to change? Your body? Your mind? Your heart? Your personality? Your attitude? Your worldview? The way you think and process information? Your level of intelligence? Your comfort zone? Your capabilities? Your character? Your wardrobe? Your hair style? What exactly are you trying to change and self-develop? Whatever it is we are trying to change has to start somewhere. Everything in this causal universe has an initial cause [causal beginning]. In Buddhism the causal chain for causally affecting and influencing physical reality looks like this: 1) Thought/Mind influences, 2) Emotion/Heart which governs, 3) Action/Behavior which manifests 4) Kamma [causal end results]. And so to change the person you are outside, one has to first change what is inside. That inner change begins in the realm of thought/mind. Meaning how you see or perceive yourself, your inner self-image, your inner confidence, etc. That inner change can realistically – in a psychological way – begin with the adoption of a new name, or title, a new wardrobe, and crafting a new persona: a persona attuned to that which will help bring about the change desired. So for example, from a Theravada perspective, let’s say there is man who is a drunk. Causally – karmically – his drinking problem has cost him his job, wife, and kids. He’s living in a shelter and has hit rock bottom. The man now wants to change and become a new person. How does he do it? He first has to start inside, and by that I don’t mean it in a dumb spiritual way. Inside meaning: it first begins on the level of psychology, in the mind, in other words. Anything the drunk can do psychologically will act as seeds of this change. The drunk can first get a new wardrobe where he cleans himself up, fixes his hair, and dresses nice. He can change his attitude and be friendlier with people. He can go to church to stimulate his spiritual parts and make new wholesome friends. All that psychological stuff then influences how he Feels about himself and about Life. This is the stage of change when depression begins to fade, happiness comes back, self-confidence begins to develop, a new “outlook” on Life develops, goals develop, and something to Live for or work for develops. Those emotion/heart born things in turn governs the man’s actions and behavior in Life. He may get a job to make money. He may start dating again. And so on. Those actions and behavior is what bares the fruit, and is what will actually change him as a person and change his Life. But that change, realistically must begin inside, as simple seed stuff in the field of mind. So for me, it’s very telling of a person’s pragmatic paradigm [or lack of one] and of their level of a practical understanding of things when they reject and see no worth in such little seed stuff like a nym, a persona attuned to Buddhism, Islam, Traditional Christianity, ONA, whatever. When they demean the small stuff, and glorify the big stuff. It’s the mental signature of an idealist or theoretician: to throw away and belittle the small stuff and glorify the big stuff. Cuz what exactly is an idealist [one who is not realistic]? It’s a person who is entranced or spell bounded by the bigger picture. That’s what an ideal is: a big picture, a master piece. For example: Utopia, where there is no class struggle, no poverty, no private property, no money, and everyone shares everything and works for free. That’s a big picture. The perfect marriage, that’s an ideal, an idealistic big picture. The realist will ask: well how do you materialize the perfect marriage? What do the little steps that will make Utopia a reality look like? Where does it realistically begin? An idealist is a person who thinks about an apple all day long and things they can make with apples. A realist is a person who plants the apple seed. The apple fruit is the bigger picture: the possible end result of an apple tree. Realistically, that apple tree must come from somewhere. What’s your IDEAL career? Your IDEAL mate? You IDEAL social life? The IDEAL Buddhist? The IDEAL Christian? The IDEAL Muslim? The IDEAL Satanists? The IDEAL ONA-er? If you can picture or describe one of these IDEALS, you are describing something which does not exist. How do we know it does not exist? Because everything in this causal universe comes into being from a causal seed/event/thing: and you have done nothing to plant that causal seed. You simply have the idealistic envisioning of something. What does the causal seed for an ideal career look like? That’s the realistic question and point of view. What does the causal seed for an ideal mate look like? How does it begin? Where does one start to manifest this ideal boyfriend? What does the causal seed of an ideal Buddhist, Satanist, or Republican look like? You see, if you pay close attention, you will notice that there is a giant difference between keeping it real and asking questions like what the causal seed for something look like, and: Living up to idealisms. Being captivated, mesmerized, spellbound by phantasmal ideals that don’t exist. Is it even possible to manifest an idealistic anything? The main part of words like ideal, idealism, and ideology is IDEA. Such things are just ideas, abstractions, and can only be such. From the vector of a realist – on the Real – or a pragmatist, everything must have a beginning, and such beginning often start very simple. As complex as the human being is as a fully developed adult, it starts off as simple sperm and egg, and some chromosomes. Becoming an initiate of the ONA actually – realistically – starts with simple causal seeds. A few ONA manuscripts by Anton Long, a nym, a persona crafted and attuned to the essence or spirit of the ONA, even little wardrobe things like crystal rings and crystal pendants [mentioned in the BBS]. These are all little psychological seeds that germinate in mindspace. Which in turn will influence how you Feel about yourself and feel about Life and things in general. Eventually your state of emotion/heart will influence your actions and behavior. It’s those actions, behavior, how you express your Life, how you Live Life that will change you into a new person. You see, idealistically some people in ONA already have this ideal image of an ONA initiate. They are hardcore, murderous, devil worshippers. That’s fine. The problem is: you can’t force someone to just go out and be hardcore, murderous, devil worshipers. Why? Because it’s an ideal: it’s not real. In the same sense that you can’ just force a Buddhist to be a Bodhisattva or a Radical Muslim to be a Jihadist, or a young man into Fatherhood, or a young woman into Motherhood. In the same sense that you can’t force a young person to live up to aged, elderly wisdom. There is a time and season for everything, and everything has a beginning. The military has an “ideal” image/vision of a soldier. Realistically you can just drag random people off the street, sign them up, and belittle them for not living up to the ideal of a perfect soldier. But you can make a random person gradually into a great soldier: in increments, gradually, step by step. In other words, before a soldier ever becomes a murderous Rambo, he needs to develop – plant the causal seeds – of simple little things like waking up at 4 in the morning, standing up straight, speak loudly with confidence, learn to roll his tee-shorts and make his bed right. The idealist will ask: well what does any of that have anything to do with being Rambo? Why do they ask that? Because they can only see the big imaginary picture. Street gangs have an ideal image of the right kind of gang banger. But – the thing I really like about gangs – is that most gangs are naturally realists. When you join a street gang, they don’t push you or force you to live up to ideal. They start you off simple. They give you a gang nickname, they teach you how to wear your rag right, they teach you the right slang dialect to use, they tell you about their history, or past battles with enemies. They hang out with you, smoke bud with you, drink with you. It’s a slow process. Just like forming a large piece of stone into a statue of the goddess Venus takes time. It may be that for years that stone may not look like anything presentable. And so it is with the new gang members, it may be that for years, he or she may not kill a rival gang member. But in time he will… in the right situation, condition, and environment. In the same sense that a trained soldier will kill also in the right situation, condition, and environment. But to be trained takes time and effort. As causal creature we have our existence within the framework/matrix of a causal system. Action can’t exist without condition, situation, and environment to act upon; or to cause to become an act. You can’t have sex: if there is nobody to have sex with. To have somebody to have sex with, you need to manifest the right situation, condition, and environment. You can’t force a random Muslim to be a terrorist. But if you manifest – or manipulate – the right condition, situation, and environment whereby the Muslim is driven to an extreme state mind and emotion and is not thinking rationally, he will blow himself and others up. If you manifest the right condition, situation, and environment, such as making a mountain slop downwards, a river will ACT in accord with such causal matrix and flow downwards. And so if the idea – the ideal – is to make random ONA initiates into some perfectly evil sinister killer revolutionist, than you can’t force initiates to live up to that idealistic image. It doesn’t work that way. The idealist and theoretician can’t understand this, because they are dealing with ideals, phantoms, and fantasies. The initiate must be given time to incrementally develop into something close to that ideal: towards that ideal. The initiate must be given time to develop in the general direction of that ideal. This takes time and begins with very simple causal seeds. Realistically, if you remove those causal seeds, reject them, disregard them: you have no Fruit. Regarding Anonymity & Authority Using things like “initiate names” or pseudonyms to conceal identity are useful thing, are causal seeds of inner change, and a part of “ONA culture.” And the use of such produces something called anonymity. The following quote is topical, and reinforces or echoes this culture: [Begin Quote] The O9A – secretive in terms of the identity of the majority its adherents – has been widely criticized both by those claiming to be occultists (of whatever type) and by those writing about modern occultism. –ONA, Originality, Tradition, And The Order of Nine Angles. [End Quote] So, on the one hand, in ONA there exists a culture which encourages the use of pseudonyms, and the concealment of identity, which makes adherents or associates of ONA anonymous to the public and to each other [other ONA cells]. And then on the other hand we run into something like this: [Begin Quote] This means that we most certainly do not trust nor respect some anonymous or anonymized person who writes about themselves and/or about the O9A via the medium of the internet. Thus we suspect them, and everything they write, be it via e-mail, or on some weblog or on some forum or on some website; even if – or especially if – they claim to be O9A and/or claim to be part of or to have founded some O9A nexion/group or claim to have done various sinister deeds. Thus we suspect them, and everything they write, even if they have been making such claims or writing about the O9A for years; even if what they write seems in line with the esoteric philosophy of the O9A; and even if we have been in contact with them for years via mechanisms such as e-mail or a written correspondence. –ONA, Some Advice For Neophytes Regarding The Order of Nine Angles [End Quote] How does this make any sense? As someone in ONA once said to me: “[T]here is real life, and there is the internet.” That was paraphrased. It makes perfect sense if you understand the meaning of the word “Individuality” in ONA, and if you understand who the Authority in ONA is. The functioning concept here is: one’s immediate circle. We trust nobody outside of our own ONA cell/nexion. Meaning people we are in close contact with in our real world lives: family, friends, co-workers, fellow classmates, members of our Drecc gang, members of our private Traditional ONA nexion in our cities. Everyone else are unfamiliar people who exist outside that circle of immediacy. It is foolish to trust and believe a person you are not intimately familiar with. Especially anonymous people online. But you can ask: “But you’re anonymous?” Or: “But if we use nyms and hide our identities aren’t we all anonymous?” The answer is yes, and as it should be. I am nobody to you. What claims I make means nothing. Anything I can ever say about my ONA credentials, what I have done regarding ONA are moot and essentially unsubstantiated claims made by an anonymous person. And likewise are you each to me… as things should be. Why so? Because it makes sense if you understand what ONA is trying to say when it describes the ONA Way as an “Individualistic Way.” ONA is something you/we each put into practice in our own individual lives, at our own individual discretion, in our own individual way. As such – being an individual way – nobody else matters. How some other person practices their ONA, what their opinions are about ONA or how you practice ONA, if they say you’re doing ONA wrong… these things don’t matter, because ONA is an individualistic path. To use an analogy, I drive a Lexus. That Lexus came from some car lot where many other Lexuses can be found. All these Lexuses were made by the same manufacturer. And so my Lexus is my personal individual way of getting around from place to place. What I do with my Lexus and how I drive it is none of your business. And conversely, what you do with your Lexus, and how you drive it, is none of my business. What you may say or opine about what I do with my Lexus, and how I drive it is irrelevant, because a “Lexus” is not a collectively owned thing. It is the brand name of an individually owned thing. ONA is the brand name of a vehicle – a yana in Buddhism – which is designed be owned and used by the individual to get you someplace: your Wyrd. As such, other people who are associated with ONA don’t matter. Individuality does not equate with collective practice, organization, authority, etc. People online who claim to be ONA and whatever their opinions about ONA are, or how they think you are doing ONA, mean nothing as an individual practicing something designed to be practiced on an individual basis. They aren’t a member of your immediate circle. They are anonymous. Simple as that. Anonymous people – which includes me – online or on whatever medium, who claim to be know-it-alls of ONA, as if they were some “authority” on ONA or of ONA, are acting and behaving out of bounds. Why so? Because in ONA, there is no authority outside your own individual authority and judgment. As this quote states: [Begin Quote] In the O9A therefore, individual pathei-mathos is ‘the ultimate authority’. Not individuals, not some title, self-given or otherwise. Not Mr Anton “I claim no authority” Long; not his writings; not his diverse exeatic life; not his ‘esoteric philosophy’ that, presenced by others, is the O9A. Not what some O9A Adept – someone who has successfully undertaken the Seven Fold Way up to and including the rite of internal adept – says or writes. Not what some O9A ‘outer- representative’ – self-described, or otherwise – has said or written. –ONA, Authority, Learning, and Culture, In The Sinister Tradition Of The Order of Nine Angles [End Quote] And this quote on individual judgment: [Begin Quote] The authority of individual judgement is one of the fundamental axioms of the esoteric philosophy of Anton Long and thus a fundamental principle applicable to how that esotericism is presenced in the praxises of the Order of Nine Angles (O9A/ONA). This axiom means that even the writings of Anton Long, and his esoteric philosophy, are only guides, a necessary beginning, and possess no ultimate authority. –ONA, The Authority Of Individual Judgement – Interpretation And Meaning [End Quote] If Anton Long invented/created the ONA, and if he says nothing he has written is authoritative – “possess no ultimate authority” – and he made the ONA: then surely, you can understand that the opinions of some anonymous person should really mean nothing. It may be that such anonymous person – which includes me – claiming to be ONA is sincere and tries to practice ONA, and even manifests the unwritten etiquette. It may be that such anonymous person may know a great deal of esoteric gobbledygook about ONA. But in a weltanschauung and Way of Life where the Individual’s judgment, pathei-mathos, and experiences are his/her own authority, is paramount, and takes first priority: what meaning does anything such other ONA person’s views and opinions – anonymous or otherwise – have to you as an individual living an individual Way of Life? Especially if they are anonymous. And we of this era in ONA know there have been a few anonymous people claiming to be ONA acting as if they were some authority figure, or behaving as if what they know or how they interpret ONA is authoritative. We know such types of anonymous people try to say that how you/we do our ONA is wrong and not the way it should be done. Because if Anton Long who made the ONA says that he is no authority, then how much less authoritative are the opinions and views of some anonymous ONA claimant who had nothing whatsoever to do with the creation of ONA? Think about it. The problem is that most people in and out of ONA have trouble understanding just what exactly the word “Individual” means. Such people are enamored with the idealism of Individuality, but in reality they are not individuals and do not behave in a manner of someone who understands that other people around them are individuals: are entitles to be individuals. To such types of people, the other person’s individual judgment means nothing, it’s their own judgment that should mean something to others. To such types, the individual method of practice of the other person is meaningless, it’s their own idea of how things should be done that others should adopt. It’s stupid, and it’s telling of the level of mentality and character of such types of people. Individual judgment means that if you write an essay or make some ONA artwork, and I like it, it’s my call. I can choose to hate it also. And vice versa. If you see some use and value in what I have written, then that’s your call based on your own individual judgment. If you hate what I’ve shared or written, that’s fine also and is still your call. I’m no authority on ONA, and certainly no one’s authority in ONA, and neither are you to me. This is the perspective each individual initiate really needs to learn to cultivate. It would reduce drama and power games people play. And ONA would actually become what it was intended to be: an Individualistic Way. The Wannabe Authority They do find their way into ONA. They are the ones who act and behave as if their interpretation – usually a Traditional Satanic one – is the only way: revealing a lack in understanding of what Out Forms [causal forms] are. They confuse the forms for the essence. They assert their opinion and views about ONA onto others. They act and behave as if what they know about ONA is definitive and authoritative. They point fingers and tell you you’re not doing your ONA right. They are usually anonymous internet nobodies. Thankfully ONA has a way to call out these pretentious wannabe authorities. It’s called the 10 Questions of an Adept which are questions DM/AL put together which only he actually has the answers to. The answers are orally given to associates of his immediate circle, when one needs to do some work for ONA, just as a means whereby they can prove that they are associates of DM/AL. Usually this immediate circle of associates are called various things such as: the Usual Suspects, the Old Guard, or the “Inner Circle.” The 10 questions are as follows: [Begin Quote] 1) What is the meaning and the correct uses [plural] of the term Fayen? 2) What alchemical season is appropriate to Dabih and why? 3) What is the reason that Petriochor is used in the Rite of Afsana, and what is this Rite? 4) What one [singular] terrestrial location is used in calling forth Yusra? 5) How do the Nine Angles relate to Azal, Dhar and Zamal, and what Earth-bound (causal) form (structure/construct) is used to symbolize this? 6) What symbolic structure/construct is beyond the (advanced) form that is The Star Game? 7) How does the causal phenomena perceived in the causal as “gravity” relate to a specific type of acausal energy, and what has this to do with the Dark Gods mythos and the nexion that is the planet Earth? 8) What is the esoteric name of the acausal entity that has the common exoteric name Satan? 9) What manuscript, other than Al-Kitab Al-Alfak, is a source for the nine emanations? 10) Where and when was Al-Kitab Al-Alfak written and what name/title appears on the first folio? [End Quote] The practical thing to keep in mind is that if anybody claiming to be ONA is acting and behaving as if they were some authority on ONA, as if their opinions and views about ONA or about how you put into practice your ONA means anything, and they can’t answer these questions: they are not Adepts of ONA. If they are not adepts, then certainly they are no authority, and what they know about ONA, their opinions, and views about ONA and about how you/we may practice ONA, are the meaningless drivel of an anonymous wannabe authority. They lack the understanding that in ONA the only – the ultimate – authority is you yourself as an individual initiate. Another way to test one of these pretentious wannabe authority figures is to ask them questions drawn from Christos Beest’s underground autobiography called Myndsquilver [MS]. MS isn’t a reliable way to test a person for adeptship mind you. What it may indicate is a lack of some type of connection with someone who was known to be publically associated with ONA. Beesty eventually made his identity known in public as being an associate – and Outer Representative – of ONA. He was the last authentic Outer Rep. Authentic here meaning having been picked by DM/AL to be Outer Rep and being of an era – pre-internet – when such a post was needed to answer questions from those interested, send out ONA MSS via snail mail, etc. Most of us associated with ONA use pseudonyms and maintain anonymity, as per the nature of ONA in general. But some of us are in some way – directly or indirectly – connected to at least one person once publically known to be ONA; namely RM/Beesty Boy. If the wannabe authority can’t answer simple questions from MS and from the 10 Questions of an Adept, then it indicates that not only is this person not an adept, but that they are also not associated with any known – verifiable – associate of ONA. So then how can such a person – regardless of how much they may know about Traditional Satanism – be of any authority of ONA? Why would such a person’s opinions and views about how you/we do ONA matter? This isn’t to say that an ONA Adept is any authority in ONA. Because if Anton Long himself – who created the ONA – says he is not an authority in ONA, then neither is an Adept of ONA. The proven adept is just more reliable with what they may know about ONA simply because they are associates of DM/AL. There are practical reasons for maintaining secrecy and anonymity. But such anonymity makes each of us to the other unverifiable, anonymous people. As things should be. Because I shouldn’t matter in any way to you, and vise versa. The simple rule of thumb is to keep things within your immediate circle, and to trust no one outside that circle fully. Especially if they are acting like pretentious authorities in ONA on the internet. You are as an individual self-initiates associate of ONA your own authority. You have the right to maintain secrecy, to keep your identity private, and to practice ONA in whatever way you see fit, as per ONA corpus. The ONA is an Individualistic Way.

Immaculata Junior TJ Harkins from Hillsborough became the first runner in the school’s history to break 16 minutes in the 5k run at the Metuchen Relays. He ran 15:59.38 for 4th place. According to his Spartan Spring Track Coach Chris Heibell '05, “TJ has been training hard and putting in work day in and day out. There's nothing he could do that would surprise me at this point. This is just the start for him. It's going be a fun ride the rest of the way.” "After the finish of my Cross Country season,” says TJ Hawkins, “I was determined to be ready for Spring Track. Even though I was swimming for the Immaculata Swim Team, I continued my running throughout the winter to be ready for spring. I have had my sights set on breaking 16 minutes for the 5K, and I am so excited to have reached this goal. I am really looking forward to the rest of the Spring Track season."

I had the misfortune of experiencing this tremendous pain twice in just under a week, and mostly laughed at myself (only after the stinging went away). Why does that matter to you? It doesn’t, but you may have been looking for a laugh today. You’re welcome. As we approach the end of July, you might be getting ready to hit the beach, go for a hike, jump in the pool for a swim, or try a new outdoor sport. Whatever you enjoy doing, your body will need some help to protect you. Hot sauce in the eye can be avoided, and so can heat stroke and other heat-related forms of exhaustion.

“Fish plants from federal fisheries stationed near Saratoga have totaled over 1,200,000 trout since the start of the season July 1, according to an announcement this week by Supt. S. M. Ainsworth. “The plants included the four species of trout raised here, the superintendent said, and remarked further that at least 90 percent of the plants were made outside this territory, in the forest reserves and in response to comparatively private or personal applications for the little fish. Due to few applications, only about 500,000 fish have been placed in Platte Valley waters this season. “Mr. Ainsworth said plants since July 1 included 518,267 brook trout, 400,636 natives, 242,236 rainbow and 53,800 loch laven. Out of these totals, 293,411 brooks, 91,174 native, 78,794 rainbow and 40,984 loch laven trout were placed in local waters. “Possibly 42,000 more will be planted in the Valley out of a total of 117,000 still in the hatchery to be placed in streams before the end of the present planning season.” State and private fish hatcheries were in existence as early as 1906 in the Upper North Platte River Valley of south central Wyoming. The first National Fish Hatchery in the area was established four miles north of Saratoga in 1915. The first production of 181,256 brook trout were released in 1916 to various Wyoming streams. The hatchery exists today and releases millions of trout throughout the world, but that’s another fish tail – or is it tale?

Monthly 2-Hour Practice Groups 0 Understanding the principles of NVC is one thing… Having the skill to apply them in day-to-day situations is another! That requires practice. And practice is more effective when: We can focus on the specific skills we want to practice – which is hard to do in real life! It’s much easier to do in a safe and supportive practice environment. . There is coaching from someone more experienced than we are. Otherwise, we may overlook some key “blind spots” and not get the full benefit of practicing. One Tuesday night a month and one Sunday afternoon a month we get together to address these two pre-requisites of effective practice with Certified NVC Trainer Glenda Mattinson.

All babies are naturally born with a few reflexes like sucking, startling, and grasping. Over a period of time, these reflexes fade, making way for more purposeful movements. Let’s look at a few ways in which you can help your baby develop reflexes. 0 - 3 Months The hand movement that happens in your little one's initial three months is spontaneous. When you put your finger in your newborn's palm, their fingers will close around it firmly. Known as a palmar reflex, it is an automatic response. In the upcoming months, these reflexes will ultimately become voluntary activities. These maneuvers can develop your baby's quick reflexes: Your baby should get his tummy time. This is important for a strong hand, arm, shoulder, and back muscles. Gently stroke their knuckles using a rattle. As their fingers open, place the rattle in their palm. Invest in a baby gym with hanging toys. Engaging your baby in striking the toys helps develop hand-eye coordination. 4 - 6 Months This is a critical time in the development of your baby's fine motor skills. It is when babies learn to harmonize feelings with hand actions. They'll start grasping their own limbs and transferring things, such as toys, from hand to hand, which shows cause and effect. These activities can help develop your baby's fine motor skills: Playing ‘The Itsy-Bitsy Spider’ or pat-a-cake with your little one helps develop synchronization. Shift your baby's spots often. When an infant plays in a new location, their motor skills grow more systematically. Sandwich a soft block between your infant's hands to train him/her on how to hold toys. 7 - 9 Months By now, your baby has mastered holding toys. Thumping, shaking, tumbling, and even tossing them are repetitive play. They are still learning how to eat on their own. Development of your child's pincer grasp will allow him/her to self-feed and hold a spoon between their index finger and thumb. These strategies can help develop your baby's quick reflexes: Your baby makes a mess. Great! It's the perfect preparation for tiny fingers. While playing, their shoulders and back should be supported well. This allows them to concentrate on working with their fingers. When your baby does things on its own, he/she acquires skills and becomes independent slowly. 10 - 12 Months During this stage, your baby starts exploring their surroundings. Your child points and uses hand signals to let you know that they want to be held or picked up. They'll applaud to music and eagerly hold your hand too. To develop your baby's fine motor skills: Snugly tie short bits of colored yarn to their fingers separately so they can feel and see them move separately. Jabbing holes in clay can help your child learn how to use fingers independently. Babies now recognize many words, so ask your kid to do tasks that test their motor skills and learn cause and effect, like pressing a squeaky toy. When should I consult a doctor? Usually, your pediatrician will check your child’s reflexes during routine physical checkups, ensuring they exist and are identical on either side and making a note of when they go away.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer felt Manchester United’s performance wasn’t good enough in the 2-1 Champions League defeat to Istanbul Basaksehir. The hosts netted twice in the first period on Wednesday courtesy of Demba Ba and Edin Visca, with Anthony Martial scoring for United just before the break. It leaves us with six points from the first three games in Group H, and we will remain top regardless of the scoreline in Germany tonight between RB Leipzig and Paris Saint-Germain, due to a superior head-to-head record with both sides. Speaking after the game in Istanbul, during his press conference and interviews with MUTV and BT Sport, the boss was asked about the frustrating display and the decision to replace Axel Tuanzebe at half-time. He also looked ahead to this weekend’s Premier League encounter with Everton DISAPPOINTING SHOWING “The performance wasn’t good enough against a team that worked and ran and they hit us on the break a couple of times and scored two goals like sometimes you do in Europe when you don’t defend well enough. Of course we picked a team to win the game. We hoped we had enough to create chances, we just didn’t. Emotions don’t matter – when you lose, well you can think to yourself how we feel after we lose, that’s not something we go out to do.” CONCEDING TWO “The first one, we play a short corner and we forget about the man up top and that’s unforgivable. You don’t see goals like that at this level. It’s not good enough. You shouldn’t concede easy goals like that. Obviously, it’s not a goal you normally concede so we’ve not done our duties now or done our roles. I have to say that’s my responsibility. We went to play a short corner but forgot our defending after we played a couple of passes. The second one as well, we’re not very well organised to counter press and win the ball back when we’re playing. Two soft goals to give away and then we didn’t have enough to come back in the second half. We scored from a cross, a good goal by Anthony and then you think 45 minutes to save something from the game. The second half we threw everything at it but we couldn’t break them down.” TUANZEBE SUBSTITUTION “Well, it’s a yellow card here. We needed to go for it and gamble to go forward, so the yellow card made my decision there.” VAN DE BEEK PERFORMANCE “Tactically, we had to change something towards the end and we brought other players on. Donny got on the ball well and showed his intelligence. Sometimes I felt the whole team was leaning way too much over to the left, we were too open down our right-hand side when one or two players wanted to play football over on the other side. Donny was part of the team, he’s come into the club and showed his quality but today he didn’t really get the opportunity to shine.” DROPPED POINTS IN THE GROUP “It’s set us back a lot, of course it has, because you get a reality check every time you play a football game. Nothing becomes history quicker than a game of football. You don’t just turn up and get three points in the Champions League, that’s shown here today. We played against a lot of good individuals in a good team. They were well set up, well organised and we were not good enough. That’s it.” LOOKING FORWARD TO EVERTON “It’s not easy to be positive now, of course it isn’t when you just lost the way we did. But these players are good players and we have a chance on Saturday to get going again. The last two results have been a punch to the stomach. The only way I know to respond, and I hope the players as well, is to get your act together for Everton”

The Abu Suradi Trail is named after Abu bin Suradi, who in November 1899, was the first man and the first Malay to have been issued a mining lease at Pamah Lebar (now a popular nine-hole golf course) the British District Officer and Land Revenue Collector, Raub, F.W Douglas (1899-1900). Abu bin Suradi, was believed to be a follower of Tengku Laksamana Alang Shah from Natar, Sumatra who founded Raub in 1882. He took up residence at a site near the present Maybank Lodge at the tail of Ampang Road and opened a bridle path to connect his thatched abode (built of river sand, crushed clam shells and wild honey) to his mining site at the present ninth fairway. He worked on his mining site for about ten years before the Raub District Officer and Land Revenue Collector, M.D Daly (1908-1910) canceled the lease in 1909 to accommodate the request from Gerald Bowen of the Sempam Mining Company. Abu’s mining site covered an area of about six acres, stretching from the present eighth tee-box to the bank bordering Parr bungalow (Pekan bungalow). He employed several Chinese laborers from Tras and a few dozen Temuan youths who lived along the Selangor River at Gerichi village, to work on his lease. He sold the crude ore to Louis James Fraser who lived in Tras but frequently came up to the hill to buy tin ore and provide sundries to the local population. Getting onto the trail from Oleh Sayang at Ampang Road, one will descend a gently sloping and meandering path for about half a kilometer before coming to an abrupt opening at Genting Road opposite the new mosque and the Nature Education Centre. From this point, one can continue to the Hemmant Trail.

Yesterday was dark and stormy here in the Northeast. So, if I couldn't be in the garden or on the beach, I thought, why not go shopping? I decided to take a little drive up to Kennebunkport, Maine, a charming town and pretty scenic spot in any weather, and mostly to spend the $150 gift certificate I won last week that was generously offered by Spaces Kennebunkport through Young House Love. Yay! There was so much to choose from at this stylish shop—I seriously could have taken one of everything. And I so wanted to give a more personal tour of the store, but I left my camera at home. Darn. Luckily, Spaces has a great website I could grab some images from to show you all the loveliness they have to offer. I adored all the bright table linens... lots of Michael Aram silver... my absolute love (I've blogged about him before) John Robshaw bedding... beautiful Thomas Paul and Dermond Peterson pillows... ...among stunning lamps, pretty plates, Dwellstudio linens, Jonathan Adler accessories—it was all too good! So here's what I came home with: Gorgeous plate in a great graphic pattern and bold coral color. I have a thing for trays! You can never have too many (as you'll see) and you can do so much with them. This is on my office credenza; I thought it'd be a good place to hold some business cards. I also picked up the silver mint julep cup and it's now holding some colored pencils. I'm not one to spend lots of dough on accessories, so this was a good chance for me to get some pretty things to add to my collection and create some vignettes in a few rooms. Here's what else I couldn't resist—another plate! This one's living on my dresser corralling some bracelets and such. Love the sunshiney yellow color and fab pattern. I definitely recommend a visit to Spaces Kennebunkport the next time you find yourself in Maine. And after some successful purchases, I also say it's worth a special trip from anywhere in New England. And if you can't get there, shop online!

Great finds...those trays are so cool! Love the color and graphic patterns on them. Monday, 07 June, 2010 Unknown said... Wish I was there, I would have met you there!! Love the last photo... nice how the book has a bit of the turquoise as on your bracelet! Nice composition in the photo!

Two female suicide bombers—one as young as 11—blew themselves up at a crowded mobile phone market in the city of Kano, in northeast Nigeria, killing at least 15 people, a day after a bomb blast elsewhere in the country left more than 30 dead. Boko Haram Thought to Be Responsible for Nigeria Bombing Leaving 32 Dead An overnight suicide bombing, thought to be the work of Boko Haram, left at least 32 people dead… One of the bombers was said to be just 11 years old, Agence France-Press reports, and the other 18: The Islamist terror group Boko Haram has previously used young girls as human bombs in its six-year insurgency in north-east Nigeria, which has left at least 17,000 dead and made more than 2.6 million homeless. In July 2014, Kano was hit four times in the space of a week by a spate of young female suicide bombers, whom experts say are unlikely to be willing participants to the carnage. Kano police spokesman Musa Magaji Majia said that the girls, both wearing the hijab, were dropped off by a minibus at the Farm Center GSM market. “One went inside the market, the other stayed outside. Then they exploded, killing themselves and others nearby,” he told AFP. “The victims were taken to hospital and it was later confirmed that 15 people died, not including the suicide bombers.” Both Tuesday’s and Wednesday’s bombings resemble earlier attacks by Boko Haram, although the Islamist militant group’s responsibility has not yet been determined President Muhammadu Buhari, who called the attacks “barbaric” and “cowardly,” has given his military until next month to defeat Boko Haram. “Nigeria’s reinvigorated, well-equipped and well-motivated armed forces and security agencies [will] overcome Boko Haram very soon,” he said.

The National Geographic reckons that in 1996, 13 people were injured by sharks. In contrast, more than 40,000 Americans were injured by their toilet. Which is a funny statistic to bring out at a dinner party, but probably not the first thing that will flash through your mind if you ever happen to come face to face with a shark in the ocean. Even though humans kill around two million sharks for every one of us eaten by a shark, very few animals have such an ability to give us nightmares. So if you ever find yourself in the unfortunate position of getting too close for comfort with one of these toothy tearaways, what’s the best way to make your escape? Read on… 1. Surf smart Around half of all shark attacks are on surfers. Often hunting close to the coast, it’s thought they may mistake the shape of the board above for a seal. Even if you’re out in the water most days, you stand a miniscule chance of encountering a shark, but knowing the risks is a good idea. Try and avoid surfing alone – stay in a group; don’t wear shiny jewellery, as the sun reflecting off it can resemble the scales of fish; don’t surf at night or at dawn, when sharks tend to be feeding, and of course, if you see warning signs on the beach, be very wary. It boils down to common sense really – if you’re in the sea in a country where sharks are known to inhabit the waters, you need to exercise caution. 2. Keep your cool If there is a shark near you, it’s important to stay calm. Don’t splash around or make a lot of noise because this is only going to increase the amount of attention it gives you. Although every instinct will be telling you to swim like hell for shore, the chances of you outrunning the shark are approximately zero, so you need to gather your wits and be ready to fight it off. It’s possible that the shark may not even be after you, so what you want to be doing is gently moving away, never taking your eyes off it, so that you’re ready for any sudden movements it makes… 3. Offence is the best defence Some common advice to people who are attacked by lions or bears is to play dead. With a shark, there is little chance this will work. You need to go on the attack. It’s not exactly practical to carry a weapon with you when you go swimming though, so unless you have a surfboard, you’re going to need to use your own body. Water resistance will prevent many of your punches or kicks from having much impact, so use your fingers. Go for the shark’s most sensitive areas – its nose, its gills, and especially its eyes. Dig in and keep pressing until it lets you go. Remember that sharks will often thrash around once they have a bite, so if you can, give it a “hug”. That makes it less easy for it to control the struggle, and reduces your chance of getting several bites. 4. Make like a banana… …and split. Sharks are not accustomed to their prey fighting back too vigorously. If you give your attacker a hard time, it may well leave and move on to an easier target. Now you need to get back to land, fast. Many shark attacks prove fatal because injuries aren’t dealt with quickly, so if you’re bleeding, try and get to shore as soon as you can. Hopefully there will be someone nearby who can help, but if not, scream and wave to get attention. If you’re swimming, you should take smooth strokes, because if you’re bleeding, you need to try and stop too much blood from escaping, as this may attract other sharks.

Start the new year off right by getting into some healthy habits. Getting motivated can sometimes be hard, so here are some tips to get you started: 1) Get a fitness tracker There are many trackers on the market, such as FitBit and Garmin, that will count your steps as well as track your sleep and allow you to input your food and other activities. These devices can be incredibly motivating and help you understand what changes you need to achieve your goals. 2) Enlist a friend Start making exercise dates with your friends. A weekly appointment to go for a walk, play squash, go swimming at your local pool, or attending a fitness class can combine healthy habits with fun. When you want to be active because you enjoy it, you know the habit will last. 3) Be reasonable At the start of a new year, many people decide they are going to “cleanse” with expensive products. If you have been drinking a lot of alcohol and eating a lot of sugar and unhealthy food, it is understandable that you will feel less than energetic. Begin by incorporating more fresh fruits and vegetables, more water, and cut out the unhealthy foods for a while. You may find yourself craving the foods you have been overdoing, so snack on healthy foods in their natural state. Foods such as hardboiled eggs, almonds, and raw vegetables with hummus all make great snacks. 4) All activity counts Get away from your desk as much as possible by going for a short walk, doing some exercises near your desk, or stretching. If you are using a fitness tracker, you will be able to see how much those breaks can add up to extra steps by the end of the day. 5) Get more sleep Not getting enough sleep will make it difficult to break your cravings. You are more likely to reach for simple carbohydrates or caffeine in order to give yourself a boost. Also, being tired makes it less likely you will be inclined to exercise. Try to go to bed earlier than your usual time if you find yourself struggling to get in enough shut eye.

Retirement is a new season of life, and it’s quite common for seniors to approach their so-called “golden years” with trepidation. With your family grown and a career that’s winding down, you may find yourself questioning this new, unfamiliar identity. Fortunately, the solution may be easier than you think. For some seniors, retirement can be challenging because they feel like they have to reinvent themselves. However, rediscovering the passions and hobbies you put on hold to focus on your responsibilities is a path toward creating your own happiness and finding a new sense of purpose. Retirement hobbies can take countless shapes and forms, whether it’s an activity you enjoyed during your younger years, a craft you’d like to hone, or something entirely new that satisfies a lifelong curiosity. In earlier stages of life, you had specific roles. You were a parent, a worker, a coach, or any other number of labels. Your retirement hobbies can help you define new life roles and show you how to rediscover yourself. You may be a grandparent, a woodworker, a volunteer, or a cake decorator. The options are practically endless. In fact, that’s the beauty of retirement—there are fewer limitations to prevent you from filling your time however you’d like. You’re no longer bound by mounds of responsibilities, and you have substantially more time available. Which Retirement Hobbies Are Right for You Choosing a hobby is a highly personal decision, but like a dessert buffet with too many options, you may have trouble narrowing down which flavors you want to sample. Here are some questions to ask yourself if you’re struggling: What are the issues or causes that matter most to me? Do I have a natural skill or talent? Is there a skill I wish I had? What is something I’d like to know how to do better? What am I doing when I feel happiest? Is there something I’ve always wanted to try doing? Do I enjoy seeing tangible products of my efforts? Do my friends or loved ones have hobbies that interest me? Ideas and Inspiration If you’re still unsure about which retirement hobbies you may want to explore, consider some of these popular options for things to do in retirement. Writing: The transition into retirement can take an emotional toll, but expressing yourself on paper can be highly therapeutic. You might begin a journal chronicling your retirement adventures, or record your childhood memories and life reflections as a gift to your children and grandchildren. If you’re particularly creative, you might even write a book. Culinary: An avid cook can always learn new tricks. If savory meals have always been your specialty, now you might explore the world of baking. Perhaps there’s a certain style of cuisine you always wished you could master, or you just want to toast bread without burning it. Needlework: For those who enjoy making things with their hands, you may enjoy exploring the array of textile arts, such as sewing, quilting, crocheting, knitting, or embroidery. These activities make for wonderful retirement hobbies because the initial skills are quite simple, but over time you can grow into creating intricate works of art. Movement: Physical activity is increasingly important as you age, so finding fun and creative ways to stay active may boost your happiness and your health all at once. If hitting the gym isn’t your idea of fun, consider taking up dancing or embracing the meditative benefits of tai chi. Other ideas include golf, bowling, or croquet. Nature: From birds and other wildlife to vibrant flowers and lush vegetation, there’s plenty to appreciate about the world surrounding you. Living things aside, nature can inspire any number of hobbies, like indulging your fascination with natural geography or the unique rocks you discover in the different places you visit. Programming that Makes Your Interests a Priority Our approach to senior wellness at The Oaks at Denville encompasses the whole person, which means we make your happiness and sense of purpose as much a priority as your physical safety and well-being. Through our award-winning LivWell program, we learn about your personal interests and goals so we can design programming that gives you plenty of opportunities to pursue your retirement hobbies and passions. Contact us to discover how our enriching amenities and thoughtful programming ensure your retirement years are fulfilling and rewarding.

The Newdegate Machinery Field Days provided avenues for the community to volunteer and contribute to the huge event. Newdegate resident Holly McDonald found way one to contribute by hitting the catwalk for the fashion parade held in the family interest pavilion. Ms McDonald works full-time at CBH in Corrigin and volunteered her time at the event to help her mother with the fashion parade. "I really enjoy it, it's different from the normal work I do in Newdegate," she said. "When you first walk up onto the catwalk it's a little horrifying but then you see you friends and family in the crowd it makes it a lot more fun." The fashion parade exhibited award-winning designer brands and gave the audience ideas of which styles to look out for as the months warm up. When it came to fashion parades, Ms McDonald said she viewed them as a hobby and said she wished to stay in the country. "I'm a country girl born and bred," she said.

The Kripke Center and Creighton University are hosting the annual regional meeting of the American Academy of Religion and the Society of Biblical Literature. The conference will be held on the third floor of the Harper Center. Further information on the conference and the region can be found on the region’s website at February 14-15, 2019 Religion and Justice Within the last few years, notions of justice (and truth) have been problematized. From the veracity of political speech and “fake news” to claims that “social justice is no justice,” what is just and true has become highly contested in the public square. This is particularly problematic given the central role that justice plays in many religious traditions. In addition to addressing the problematization of justice in contemporary society, this symposium will explore the many facets of justice and its relationship to religion by addressing specific forms and examples of justice. Papers may address issues of truth and deception, poverty and social justice, food and environmental justice, economic justice, or other forms of justice with historical and/or contemporary examples related to diverse religious traditions. The symposium will take place Thursday–Friday, February 14-15, in Skutt Student Center 105, from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The schedule of the symposium, including the titles of the presentations, can be found here. October 4, 2018 The Bible, Politics, and the Survival of Planet Earth The Bible has played a role in some political debates over climate change, where it has been read to suggest that belief in human induced climate change is a rejection of God's omnipotence. This talk will examine the biblical texts that pertain to the climate and humans' relationship to the earth to show alternative interpretations on the issue, raising important questions about whether the Bible should be used to influence public policy in our democracy. Frances Flannery is Professor of Religion at James Madison University. She earned her Ph.D. in Religion at The University of Iowa, concentrating on the origins of apocalypticism in early Judaism and early Christianity. Her research on apocalyptic thought and movements extends from antiquity to the present day, with a focus on the intersections of apocalyptic thinking with environmental issues and terrorism. Her books include Understanding Apocalyptic Terrorism: Countering the Radical Mindset (Routledge, 2015) and an edited volume with Rodney Werline, The Bible In Political Debate (Bloomsbury, 2016). She regularly shares her research with the intelligence community and is also an activist in community peacebuilding, interfaith dialogue, and public education about religions and the academic study of religion. The talk by Prof. Flannery will take place on Thursday, October 4, in Harper Center 3028 at 4:00 p.m. It is free and open to the public.

Hello! My name is Viviana and I am struggling financially, academically , spiritually, and emotionally. I have hit rock bottom. I am unemployed because of Covid-19 for a while now and I have tried so many things and I have applied to so many jobs, but nothing worked out. I finally got a job offer but I have to provide some documents that cost me a lot of money that I do not have and it takes so long for them to arrive. The whole process is so complicated. Because of my financial situation I am also in debt. I have tried to open up a business and I failed 3 times. Now I am struggling to open another one. I just found out that I might not be eligible for a tuition fee next year for my university course. I also am living with my cousin and the relationship between us is not that good anymore, and I really want to move out but I can’t right now. I do not have parents nor friends that can help me. Nothing seems to work out in my life.Everything hurts so bad and I have been praying to God and I know He has spoken to me and I do trust Him, but I really need a miracle in my life.
