If you were to ask me and B what our biggest challenge in parenting has been thus far, we would easily answer: Sleep!O will be two this June and most nights he still does not sleep through the night. Do you want to know a secret?
I…
In the book Simplicity Parenting, Kim John Payne says that a successful night's sleep begins the minute you wake up in the morning. This couldn't be more true, especially for little ones!
Of course, all these times are approximate but it's amazing how even without looking at the clock it all still seems to fall into place at about the same time each day!
What is the bedtime routine like in your home?
O sleeps with his Snoedel every night!(It really does help!
← Glimpses: Rockin'
We're kind of all of the place with my daughter's sleep schedule, sometimes 8:30, sometimes 9:45, sometimes 11:00….maybe it's because she (almost) 9 months and is a little more adaptable?However, it has to be pretty dark and we use a sound machine too. Some people scoff at us that our baby won't sleep wherever, but she is who she is. Has O always been like this or was he like my daughter at that age?
I think it's really good for people to hear that many toddlers still wake through the night!Thanks for sharing!And O's bedroom looks like a place I'd love to take a nap!
O has never been a "sleep anywhere" child. He was actually a pretty good sleeper as a young baby. Then at about 7 months, for whatever reason (teething, seperation anxiety, etc…
awesome post….like your family, we have always had a very strict no cry-it-out policy. Wesley is 20 months and we still cosleep, but I am sure the time will come when he is ready to transition to a bed. I love the environment you have set up for baby O…..so calming and lovely. Thanks for the great resources….we have a knot doll similar to a snodele…
ps- let me know if you'd be interested in a knitted board short swap…
I'd love to have another swap, mama!
The "just trusting we would all sleep at some point or another" has gotten B and I through some of the longer nights!And you're right, sleep *is* such a delicate issue with a lot of parents…What isn't though?
That sound machine….best. purchase. ever!We started out in a VERY small home when Huck was first born. It was the only thing that helped him stay asleep once we got him there, I think. Like, O, he still wakes. Thankfully, my lovely husband is ok with staying in there with him (sometimes falling asleep on the floor!) till he goes back to bed. (He just cannot sleep in bed with us. He likes to sprawl and chatter with Mama and Dada). Anyway…
Oh, Kelli!B could probably relate to your husband!He does much of the nighttime snuggling back to sleep. You just have to love dedicated papas!
Glad it's not just us!Our sweet girl rarely sleeps through the night. And to be fair, since her bedtime is around 7 PM, if she sleeps until 4 AM, that's still 9 hours. I read the No Cry Sleep Solution, too, and I really liked it, because I've never been one to close the door and let a baby scream it out. It might work for some moms, but I couldn't handle it. One time recently, for 3 days, Isabella wouldn't go to sleep until I rocked her to sleep and put her down completely out. I did this when she was a baby, and I didn't care that the ped. suggested I didn't do that, and Babywise moms crawled my case for it…it worked for me at the time, and I'd do it again that way. She's a pretty good sleeper and like O, with a routine, goes down pretty easily. That 3rd night, I finally made sure she was dry, fed, not too hot/cold, in pain, etc. and snuggled her for a good 30 minutes…then I plugged in a nightlight with her, which we stopped using because I thought it bothered her for a while (she would point at it and say "no!no!" :) Can you guess what she heard when she got down every morning and ripped it out of the wall?), told her it was time to sleep, kissed her and put her in her crib. She immediately jumped up and started screaming, but I stood outside her door, torturing myself, and within 5 minutes she was asleep. It hasn't happened since, and that's the extent of the screaming that I can take before she goes to sleep. I feel like it's the end of the day, and I want it to be peaceful for her. Again, this is not my expert advice, and I was so frustrated when my friends with 3 month olds would talk about how they were sleeping through the night already while our daughter was still waking up twice at 10 months; but honestly, I like cuddling at bedtime and I feel like as long as she generally knows how to get in bed and go to sleep on her own, a few hiccups here and there aren't a big deal. Can you tell I've spent plenty of time agonizing over this, and have finally just surrendered to the fact that this is what we chose and it's good for us?
Whoa, that was long…
No need to apologize, Heidi!I'm glad to *see* you again!
Thanks for sharing, Heidi!O actually was one of those babies "sleeping through the night" at 3 months…It didn't last though!
Good for you for sticking with what works for you!
I *do* have a problem with the CIO method. I hate to criticize another person's parenting method because I really do believe most of us are truly do the best we can. However, there are some very good articles out there detailing what happens when you let a baby CIO, including the physiological response. It's so sad. What I feel in my own body when I hear O cry, even as a toddler, is enough to tell me that it just isn't natural or healthy to ignore a child that obviously needs attention. Babies don't manipulate, I think people forget that sometimes. As far as I'm concerned getting up in the night with babies is part of having them!
(Oh, and I do recognize there is a difference between a baby crying and an older child being just plain disagreeable…
O's room is so calm and inviting!
Yes!Flexibility is why I'm always careful to use the words "rhythm" and "routine" as opposed to (the dreaded) "schedule". I think there is an inherent flexibility when things follow a natural order as opposed to the clock on the wall. Though, it is amazing how a good rhythm tends to lead to things happening at about the same time everyday!There is something almost magical about the way if something out of the ordinary happens, the inherent flexibility in rhythm allows us to just pick our day up and carry on!Hooray!
I nearly swoon every night listening to B sing O to sleep. So very sweet. What a lovely image it must have been for you to find your two guys snuggled up!
I hope your move is going well and you find some delicious cups of coffee along the way!
Our little guy Finn is now 18 months old and for the past few weeks he's been transitioning from two naps to one. It's tough!It's the classic vicious cycle. He's up pretty early, sometimes as early as 5am, and then can't make it much past 11/11:30am for the one nap. One a rare good day he'll nap for two and a half hours, but most of the time it's one and a half. That has him up before 1pm. Then for bedtime he can barely make it til 6/6:30, but then to bed that early means he's up at 5 again!
I still nurse before naps and bed, and in the morning after he wakes up. I have been going in every few days and nursing him from one side, pretty quickly, and then he'll sleep again until about 7 or so. I keep hoping that will get us to a later nap, then a later bedtime, then up later the next morning so he is better rested…but then something usually wakes him up very early from his nap, like the construction zone next door!Argh!
I have been wondering if he's waking that early because he is maybe hungry by then…
Finn finishes dinner by 5:30, and perhaps he's just getting hungry!Poor love. I hate to think about that, breaks my heart!
Oy. It can be so tough when little ones are transitioning!
O's betime snack is usually something with whole grains and fruit in it along with some milk. He typically will have a homemade granola bar (sugar-free) with his milk while we're reading a story at night,before brushing his teeth. We sometimes warm the milk up a bit, but not always. (Though if you're nursing, you don't need to worry about that!
I know it is a bit off topic, but I LOVE O's book sling!I've never seen one made this way before!I have only ever seen them made out of gutters!


violence begets more violence...or some **** like that, I just want to see her get tazed man can't you just agree that would have been funnier. and then she is kill.
i have no problem with a good tazing


01 Jun 2019 The Navigator
Dr Andy Norris, an active Fellow of forecasts the future of sourcing weather data
Maritime numerical weather data providers make good use of the ever-increasing availability of broadband systems on ships at sea. In particular, the far higher data capacity of broadband means information that is received can be much more specific to the requirements of the vessel. As we have seen in this issue of The Navigator, this type of data can significantly assist the safe and efficient navigation of the vessel.
Of course, the immediate local situation will still be sensed independently by both humans and the systems onboard the vessel. Constant comparison of this information with all externally communicated data will remain essential. We have been doing this for hundreds of years for charted and other printed data and over a hundred years for radio data, including vital weather related information. In particular, continued comparison of the actual weather situation with predictions gives a good, working experience of the integrity of the service (how reliable it is)
Broadband development potentially gives the possibility for all ships to directly send weather-related data from onboard sensors directly to forecasting bodies. These would measure local parameters, such as air pressure and wind strength/direction, whilst appropriately taking into account vessel movement. The much increased, real-time availability of such data to forecasters would have huge potential to improve their services even further.
It is always important to understand how to react when an item of bridge equipment develops a fault, not least that used for displaying weather-related data. If someone notices a failure, the first action from a less-experienced staff member should be to communicate the problem rapidly to the more senior staff on the bridge. As with all navigation-related equipment, staff must fully understand all the options for accessing and displaying the best available data. They must also be able to decide whether an equipment failure should influence the current or near-future navigational plan of the vessel. Likewise, junior staff should make sure they understand alternative methods of accessing essential data, including weather data. This means knowing how to use both from alternative external data sources and from onboard, temporarily-stored data.
Constant appraisal


I've just tried to get back in touch with an ex. We were friends on Facebook, so I thought a quick message to 'say hi' would be appropriate. Their name is now not amongst my list of friends. DO I go through the 'embarrassment' of re-sending a friend request to them, only to risk rejection, send a message without the friend request, or just leave things be? 'ex' aat''r't Curiosity?Geniuene concern for their well-being?Marriage proposal?
If you feel absolutely compelled to pursue your ex, despite their best intentions to get rid of you the first time (and from the sounds of things the second time) round, you could attempt a second Friend Request. You might want to take advice from your ego though about how you'll feel about this in the long run, and what kind of 'desperado' signals this sends out to your once beloved. Another approach is to send a message. But there lies the dilemma of what to say. 'Hi, why did you 'friend dump' me?


AMBITIOUS plans to build an "economy kick-starting" business district for Hervey Bay will only become a reality if it is funded by State or Federal Governments, according to Fraser Coast councillors.
Last Wednesday, the 11 councillors voted unanimously to progressin a confidential meeting.
The Cultural and Education precinct, Green Heart precinct and Civic and Entertainment precinct make up the Master Plan along with projects involving student accommodation for the USC campus as well as traffic and transport planning.
The plans also include possibly relocating the council's Hervey Bay administration building from Tavistock St in Torquay to Pialba.
A time frame for the major development is yet to be set, however mayor George Seymour revealed the council would approach State and Federal Governments about cooperative funding.
He told the Chronicle the project would not be paid for solely by ratepayers.
"We'reprivate landholders," Cr Seymour said.
"We would specifically want to talk to the Federal Government about a City Deal, which is similar to what's happened in Townsville."
City Deals ""outline.
In August, Hinkler Federal MP Keith Pitt launched a petition for the electorate, which includes Bundaberg, to be one of the first regional areas recognised as a site for a Regional City Deal.
Mr Pitt's petition had garnered 714 signatures at the time of publishing.
Councillor Denis Chapman echoed the same message, and said programs like the Building Better Regions Fund would need to be utilised.
"We need to tap into that money for the area, because if we don't do projects like this, we could miss out on the funding," Cr Chapman said.
"We've got to be thinking ahead all the time."
Cr Chapman said the development would have similar effects to the CBD revitalisation works currently ongoing in the Sunshine Coast.
Although the Hervey Bay CBD plan is on a smaller scale than Maroochydore, Cr Chapman said it would be "an economic kickstarter" for Hervey Bay.

Whilst Dig and Pat pulled tree branches out of the most promising entrance, Roger and I checked out other possible entrances, one of which had a two metre long, scary, black snake outside. However, I was able to reassure Roger that this was a Mussurana, which though harmless to humans, seeks out, kills and eats other snakes, some of which are far from harmless to humans, especially the venomous Fer De Lance, which kills a significant number of people in Panama each year. In some countries in Latin America, governments have deliberately introduced Mussuranas to help control the snake population. I did not like to mention that if there was a Mussuarana by the cave entrance, most likely he was there to be staying near to his next meal – not us, but a Fer De Lance!Still if you can't take a joke, then you shouldn't go caving!
Though Pat and I both went in as far as we could, feeling around for diveable passage with our feet, we could locate nothing under-water , or above-water, big enough for a caver to pass. Just before this duck/sump, there is flood debris in the roof, some three metres above the water level when we visited. This does not give much hope of finding an easy route on. Pat and Dig surveyed out, whilst Roger made some photos, and I acted as his model!
It would also be interesting to visit on a wet day in the "wet season" to check out the water levels in Cueva Lenin (maybe flooded out?) and Cueva Porton (maybe too wet to get in far?

Shadow and Bone is the first book in a trilogy called Grisha. The trilogy tells Alina Starkov’s story. As a young child, Alina is left alone in the world when her parents are killed during the Border Wars in a place called Ravka. She is sent to live in Duke Keramzin’s estate, which has been converted into a orphanage, to be educated. She forms a close bond with a boy named Malyen Oretsev (Mal). When they are eight years old, they are visited by three mysterious people known as Grisha (people who have magical powers), who test them for hidden abilities but find nothing. The book skips forward in time. Alina and Mal both work in a military regiment called the First Army. Mal has flourished as he has grown up. He is a very talented tracker and is popular with the other members of his regiment and the ladies. Alina is rather mouse-like and sickly looking (e.g., bags under her eyes and very thin) and works as a mapmaker. As Mal and Alina travel across the Shadow Fold (a strip of darkness) they are attacked by the Vulcra (monsters who who fest of human flesh). Almost half of the army are killed by the Vulcra and it doesn’t look good for Alina or Mal. As a Vulcra swoops down to finish off Mal, Alina instinctively protects him. A brilliantly bright light extinguishes the darkness and the Volcra flee. The survivors of the attack are questioned by the Darkling, the leader of the Grisha, and he determines that Alina is a Sun Summoner, a rare kind of Grisha. The Darkling takes Alina to Os Alta where the King lives to train her and protect her from Ravka’s enemies. Alina’s power could be the key to eliminating the Shadow Fold permanently, allowing Ravka to access the harbour and trade. Will Alina learn to use her power and will it be enough?
Once Alina uses her ability to draw on sunlight and traveled to the Palace, the pace of the book picked up and the story became more interesting overall. I liked the parts where Alina learns to use her ability to draw on sunlight and discovers what her limitations are. I thought that the reason for the mental block that stopped her calling her own power to the surface was interesting and I liked her more for it. I do wish that there had been more of the book devoted to Alina using her power. I liked that it took time for Alina to control her power because that seemed realistic, but as this is a fantasy book, I wanted moreGrisha (see below) and the few scenes where the Grisha use their powers were fascinating. I think that more time could have been spent showing the reader what the different types of Grisha could do, rather than telling the reader what each Grisha could do each time a Grisha wearing a different coloured of Kaftan appeared. As a result, only the Darkling and Genya felt like real 3D characters. The others were pretty forgettable.
Materialki
* Durast – work with glass, steel, wood, stone or anything solid
* Inferni – manipulate fire
* Heartrenders – can slow down or speed up a person’s heart
Although I found that the pace picked up once Alina arrived at the Palace and the plot became more interesting overall, I did feel there was too much fluff. First, there was too much high-school drama, for me. In particular, Zoya (a Grisha who wears a blue Kaftan) is jealous of Alina because the Darkling favours her. I think that the authors decision to have the two characters say spiteful things about each other, gossip, and finally scrummage in the gym was a bad decision. Considering the power that both Zoya and Alina hold, it would have been more more interesting if they’d battled it out at some point. It just all felt a little childish given the tone of the rest of the book. Plus, after a while, Zoya just drops out of the story entirely, so I’m not sure what the point of her character was.
Second, I found that there was too much emphasis placed on looks. I thought that it was a nice idea for Alina to become more healthy as she uses her power rather than suppressing it (e.g., bags under eyes disappearing, gaining weight etc…). What I found annoying was Alina’s constant whining that she can’t possibly be a Grisha because she isn’t beautiful. That kind of grated on me. I didn’t like the fact that Alina thought she wasn’t anything special because she wasn’t beautiful. It would have been better if Alina had thought she couldn’t be Grisha because she’d been tested as a child. And, of course, as with most young adult fiction, while Alina doesn’t think she’s beautiful, she secretly really is because everyone loves her! Sigh. It’s just silly. Where are the Jane Eyre’s of the young adult fiction? (FYI, Jane Eyre is a character in a novel written by Charlotte Bronte. She is plain, but smart and funny, and she gets the man because of who she is not because of what she looks like). I also disliked the fact that one of the Grisha (Genya) was sent to make Alina look presentable by smoothing out her skin and removing the bags under her eyes so that she could meet the King. I don’t have perfect skin and I really disliked the fact that one of the reasons Alina was not considered beautiful was because of poor skin. Alina mentions Genya’s beauty to often too. She’s just so out-of-this-world beautiful, she might as well be an alien or something stupid like that.
I liked Alina’s character on the whole because she had some strong moments. For example, she throws herself over Mal to protect him from a human flesh eating monster at the beginning of the book! Plus, at the end of the book, I felt she finally stepped up. I won’t say what she does because that would spoil a lot. The problem is that everything in between those two moments was really pretty weak. For example, near the beginning, she is attacked by on of Rakva’s enemies. She does little to fight the man off, and as soon as the Darkling arrives, she shouts to let him know where she is. I wouldn’t have minded if she’d at least really tried to fight him off. Throughout the middle of the book, she wallows too much– she can’t control her ability (yet she doesn’t really try very hard to control it), people don’t like her (yet she doesn’t really try very hard to get to know them), and Mal won’t write back

The Art of Faulkner's Narrative Technique
In the 1920s, Russian formalist scholars made what would be one of the most influential distinctions in the study of narrative: story vs. plot. The distinction presumed that authors took the basic materials of a story, and shaped them into a plot. In this framing, the story or "fabula" is the sequence of events as they occurred, their chronological order, while the plot or "syuzhet" is the order of events in which they are conveyed to the reader.1 Based on this distinction, an elaborate vocabulary for describing narrative structures became available. Nearly a century old, the vital distinction between story and plot has not remained unchallenged.2 A particularly trenchant criticism is that the existence of a "story" implies the existence of an underlying, total order outside of the text. These critiques raise a broader set of questions about the feasibility of ever being able to separate a story from the way it is told.3
For this reason, Faulkner's chronologies have become somewhat of a bailiwick for scholars, and many have tried to establish the chronology of either Yoknapatawpha County in general, or specific stories.4 The DY editors have relied on many previous studies to establish the chronological order for all of Faulkner's texts. Still, even with the help of this robust corpus, sequencing the events of a story is a very involved process, and there are many interpretive decisions that the DY collaborators had to make in order to establish these chronologies. While it makes no sense to enumerate each specific issue, suffice it to say that these were broadly related to the use of relative time. In Faulkner, and in most other narratives, time is not always specified by date, but can be relational. Concepts like "before," "after," "a couple of years ago," and "around the same time," all indicate the relative sequence of an event, but do not indicate its specific position on a timeline. For instance, is the event that happened "a couple of years ago" "before" or "after" the event that happened "around the same time"? In some cases, deciding the order came down to what would be the most logically consistent sequence of events, something which, by the way, did not always trouble Faulkner.5
In the charts, the time structure of the text has been mapped with the plot (syuzhet) on the x-axis (horizontal) and the story (fabula) on the y-axis (vertical). From left to right on the x-axis is the sequence of events as they appear in the text by page number. Moving farther right means moving farther along in the text. Meanwhile, the chronology is ordered from earliest to latest on the y-axis, and events that are lower down occur before events that are higher up. In a chart where events are in chronological order, the slope should be around 45o. In the chart below, "Raid," most of the events occur in the order they are conveyed to the reader. There are a couple of moments where there are "dips." These are moments when the text refers to an earlier event. This is commonly known as a flashback or analepsis. On the whole though, the chart for "Raid" suggests a relatively linear sequence of events.
Part of Faulkner's signature writing style are his experiments with time, and these are very visible in the charts from his more canonical works. In The Sound and the Fury, the chapters are "out of order," but so are many of the events within the chapters. The low-high split of points on this chart indicates a constant jump back and forth in time, especially the first two hundred pages of the novel. These are roughly the "Benjy" and "Quentin" chapterscontrast "Raid" and The Sound and the Fury, and observe that the latter has far more radical and innovative temporal structures. The past is always making itself felt through the memory of the characters.
Along with the sequencing of events in chronological order, the DY collaborators also relied on some principles of narratology for indicating how that event is conveyed to the reader. In some cases, there is a third person narrator, in other cases an event is remembered, as when Benjy and Quentin go about their respective days. At other times, events are told by characters in a text, something quite different yet again. A full overview of the differences can be found here. Narrative status thereby provides another window into understanding how Faulkner structures his narratives. In Go Down, Moses events are conveyed to the reader through a multiplicity of perspectives, adding to the ambiguity of the narrative and the richness of its interpretation.
Rank Order and Date Order
The most natural way to think of chronology is date order. It is one of the most common descriptors of someone's life, a born date and a death date. The sequence of dates between those rather definitive book-ends is somewhat more ambiguous. People might remember the year or even month of an important life event, but they may not remember the day, or they may remember the day but are hazy on the details of the sequence of events leading up to it. With the help of external sources, these personal experiences of time can sometimes be reconstructed. Much the same, the sequencing of historical events too relies on cross-referencing sources to establish a timeline, though such timelines also suffer from lacunae.
These problems are compounded when establishing a timeline for fictional narratives, since there are usually no external sources to reference. There is no way to pull up Quentin's class schedule at Harvard to establish where he should have been on June 2nd and at what time! Thus, the DY collaborators have inferred dates based on the sequence of events. Needless to say, it is not always possible to pin down one singular date for an event, and this is why an "earliest possible start date" and "latest possible end date" for an event were entered. Hence, an event that takes place during a year is given a range of one year, unless any more information about the possible date is known. Ideally, all date ranges would be as narrow as possible; in reality this is not the case.
As date ranges are necessarily ambiguous, the rank order of events is also available for selection. The rank order sequences events as represented in the chronology, but does not take into consideration the narrative distance between them. In The Sound and the Fury the earliest event is the birth of Jesus, an event that happens well before the narrative present of the text. On the rank order chart this is a small green dot on the x-axis, right around page 300. On the date order chart this event is more apparent, and represents one dot that re-scales the sense of time for the entire novel.
By default, charts are graphed by rank order, though undoubtedly the date order graphs provide equally interesting insights. In particular, they tend to highlight how the historical past is in tension with the narrative present. In some cases, the date range of a chart is very narrow, such as in "The Hound" where the narrative sequence is almost entirely in the narrative present, with one event in the past whose possible date range is less clear.
In other cases, the narrative jumps around in time in leaps and bounds, suggesting a positioning within a larger historical time scale. For instance, the narrative present of Absalom, Absalom! stretches from the fall of 1909 into the winter of 1910, but its history plumbs as far down as the first settlement of Yoknapatawpha.

Fourth-grader Ariel’s weekend is turning out to be a disaster. Her friends are coming over for a sleepover on Saturday night and a movie on Sunday, but she can’t get it together to write her homework essay about heritage and cultural traditions that is due on Monday. Her two best friends know everything about their cultures, but Ariel knows nothing about her own. As she reflects on the maze of changes surrounding her a, she reminisces about her early years in Colombia, her summers spent in Hawaii and the Pacific Northwest, and her current life in the Monterey Bay beach town where she now lives with her mom and her new dad. From her Caribbean grandma’s patacones to her Pacific Northwest grandma’s blackberry pie, Ariel discovers that food keeps emerging as a theme in her life. It’s a theme that helps her gain a stronger sense of self and one that just might save her before the Monday morning deadline.

As I sat in my office, debating on Facebook and Twitter (if only the Founding Fathers would have seen this thriving, vibrant democracy and the ever-increasingly-spinning-faster media cycle, they would have probably – I dunno – been happy they created the Electoral College), reading the decisions, and thinking about the bizarro world we had entered, I kept coming back to one question: What was Chief Justice John Roberts thinking? After the initial shock of hearing the individual mandate was struck down as unconstitutional, then realizing the Supreme Court ruled it a tax (despite the President insisting it was anything BUT a tax) and it WAS constitutional, there came the shock that Chief Justice Roberts sided with the four “liberal” justices and Justice Kennedy (the swing vote expected to decide the case) was reading the case for the dissent, with lines like, “id in its entirety“…
WHAT?!? What kind of bizarro world was this? So I dove into the opinions, read them, and here are my thoughts before going to bed…
If you realize and are willing to admit (seemingly few of us today) that you’re not a constitutional legal scholar or don’t read hours of political articles a day like I do, you may be wondering what exactly happened. Here it is, as briefly as possible…
The Democratically-controlled Congress (with not a single vote from a Republican) the New Deal. A key component of this bill was the individual mandate, basically requiring every American not on Medicaid or Medicare to have health insurance. If they refuse to get health insurance, they will pay a penalty to the U.S. government.
The Supreme Court was ruling on whether this mandate that people buy health insurance is constitutional or not. The Government made two arguments as to its constitutionality:
a) Congress can make citizens do this under the Commerce Clause.
b) Congress can make citizens do this because it’s basically like a tax.
Now the second argument here is quite interesting given how persistent President Obama and the Democrats were that this was not a tax. But the government made this argument on a whim that maybe, just maybe, it could save their bill.
Chief Justice Roberts, writing really only for himself (and therefore uncertain how much legal weight it will carry in the future – another debate for another time) but in principled agreement with the conservative justices,.” (p. 20-21)e.” (p. 27)
THEN… the twist occurred. Despite the 2,000+ pages of the bill never calling the individual mandate a tax (so that moderate Democrats and the President could claim that none of the higher payments on individuals and businesses would be a tax increase) and the President’s insistence that it wasn’t, Chief Justice Roberts and the four “liberal” justices ruled that the individual mandate could be constitutional under Congress’ taxing power.
Essentially arguing that it sounds like a tax, looks like a tax, walks like a tax, and acts like a tax, the Highest Court in the Land upheld the Health Care Reform bill as constitutional. In a decision that made some interesting, not to mention logically spurious, legal maneuvers, the individual mandate was declared a tax… and constitutional.
The Chief Justice, writing the primary opinion, wrote extensively about the limits of the Court – to overturn the laws of the democratically elected branches – and the federal government, by limiting Congress’ abilities to pass laws under the Commerce Clause and to strong-arm the states into implementing federal policy.
While the left celebrated (cautiously though wondering what effect Roberts’ legal reasoning would have long-term on a progressive federal government) and the right slumped their shoulders and wondered what happened, the Court ended its term and the 2012 Presidential election began a new chapter.
2) THE ROBERTS WAGER: Why Chief Justice Roberts Did It
This is clearly the biggest question of the day and one we’ll only know when justices are retired and memoirs are written. Even then, as we all know, legacies will be on the line and history has its special biases and revisions based on the historian telling the story


I am putting up a THREE HOUR CHART, to show you the spike upward during the last three hours of trading. I also noticed that for a Friday afternoon, the volume was unusually high. Normally, we see hardly any volume whatsoever that time of the day on a Friday as most traders are long gone for the weekend.
Should be interesting Sunday night - just not sure what we are going to get....
Nothing has changed in the least iota for gold - it continues to drop through one support level after another as traders/investors simply have no incentive/desire to chase this market higher. If anything, they are shorting it.
This is why I have been trying to publicly rebut that nonsense out there that gold is in backwardation and is therefore wildly bullish. Guess what? The market action tells me that it could care less about that sort of claptrap. You will get some who should recant this stuff but instead they will blame it on the nefarious bullion banks instead.
Also, while JP Morgan was the big buyer/stopper during last month's gold delivery process, this month they have been issuers/sellers out of their House account, albeit not to the same extent that they were buying last month.
Look, I agree as it competes directly with the US Dollar but we have a proven track record of the Commitment of Traders for over 12 years now detailing that the nasty bullion banks are always selling DURING UP MOVES... if they do anything while price is breaking lower, they are covering shorts or buying. The current wave of selling that has been occurring in the gold market this week is largely due to hedge funds, not the bullion banks.
We will get this week's report later on today and I can analyze it then but it should be noted that it will not include the price action from Wednesday through today and I can tell you fairly confidently that it was not bullion bank selling that took the market down through $1360 - $1350 and again through $1320. It was hedge funds... what the bullion banks were doing was selling up near $1400 as the remaining vestiges of hedge fund shorts who were exiting were buying. They provide the cap and then let the hedge fund computers take over but they DO NOT CHASE PRICE LOWER. PERIOD!
Arguing against the price action is a fool's errand and is the last refuge for those who are wrong and cannot admit it. As I have said many times, there is nothing to be ashamed at when one is wrong about a market's direction. We all have been there ( I surely have many times) as we are all mere mortals and are not omniscient (there is only one Being that is). The key is to quickly admit that the market does not agree with you and take corrective action if you are a trader so as to avoid suffering serious losses. Doggedly refusing to acknowledge the obvious however is a recipe for disaster especially in the futures markets where the extreme leverage can inflict such carnage in such a short period of time.
What I am taking away from the recent price action is that gold is back to experiencing "Tapering" jitters. Hedge funds apparently are more and more losing their concerns about the degree or extent of any Fed tapering and thus are becoming emboldened to play gold from the short side as there is yet no solid evidence of widespread inflation issues. Just today Goldman came out with a recommendation for investors to use any bouts of weakness in the equity markets to accumulate stocks as they see a "dovish" tapering of only $10 billion per month if the Fed moves in that direction.
While that may be good for stocks in Goldman's view, apparently gold is getting increasingly nervous about it.
Incidentally, one has to marvel at how the Dow people included Goldman and Visa in the Dow "INDUSTRIALS". My suggestion is that they just scrap the entire term and replace it with "those stocks which go up". I am waiting for them to throw out another one of the Dow 30 and replace it with Tesla.
There is a mixed signal coming from the food sector where the grain markets have become a two-sided affair. On the one hand, the corn market finally experienced an epiphany today as it comes to terms with what looks like a record breaking corn crop. Corn prices scored a THREE YEAR LOW today. Corn is such an integral part of the protein side of our diets as it is the main feed ingredient for cattle, hogs and poultry. With falling corn prices hopefully comes cheaper meat/poultry over the longer term although near terms issues will dictate current price levels. That will tend to keep food prices a bit tamer than they would have otherwise been thus pulling away a key part of the inflation picture.
On the other hand, soybeans have been on a tear of late as the recent bout of hot/dry weather over large parts of the Midwest have turned what at one time looked like a record breaking crop into a much lower than originally expected national yield. This will impact poultry producers and hog producers to a certain extent but not nearly as much as corn will impact them in the other direction in my view.
All in all, I do not see the same upward price pressures in the food sector looking out as I did at this time last year. It could be some of the eagerness to press gold lower is coming from this concern. For whatever the reason, the gold market is simply not attracting sufficient buying interest from Western investors to drive it higher at the current time.
About the only positive that I could see in the gold sector today was the fact that the HUI did not implode even though it remains lower as I type these comments.
The yield on the Ten Year remains just shy of the 3% level having backed off from that key point this week. Still, when one considers that at the first of May the yield was 1.6%, that is rather stunning for the degree of increase in less than 5 months. After all, it has almost doubled!
As far as the gold chart goes - it is the same from yesterday except the price is lower. Gold is perched quite precariously right at a chart support level, which if it does not hold, will allow the market to fall through psychological support at the $1300 level. It barely held on today moving to within less than $5 before rebounding somewhat. It is trying to hold here in the afternoon which is constructive but I need to see this market push back above $1330 before I would be a bit more comfortable or optimistic about it.
The thing that gets my attention is the fact that the ADX line is continuing to rise as the price moves lower. This is indicative of a market that is entering a trending phase but as I stated yesterday, I generally like to see the ADX ABOVE the 20 level to confirm that. The indicator does however show the bears currently in control of the market with the market unable to stay above the 50 day moving average as it did yesterday. The prognosis near term is for further weakness unless the bulls can come out swinging Sunday evening and force some sort of abrupt turnaround.


Osteogenesis imperfecta is also known as brittle bone disease. It is a disorder characterized by the increased fragility of bones resulting in easy breakage. Usually, it presents itself at birth, but develops mostly in children whose family has a history of the disease.
Osteogenesis imperfecta, known informally as OI also means “imperfectly-formed bones.”
Osteogenesis imperfecta may be mild or severe. Most cases reported in the hospital are the mild type – they result in very few fractures. The severe forms of the disorder may cause:
• Problems with the spinal cord
• Deformities which may last a lifetime.
In some cases, the disorder can be life-threatening, especially if it occurs in infants before birth or shortly after birth. Research has shown that at least one in 20,000 persons will develop the disorder. Osteogenesis imperfecta is not gender specific meaning that it occurs equally in both males and females and in ethnic groups.
The underlying cause of the disorder is an issue with the connective tissue due to a conspicuous absence of Type 1 collagen. The major cause of this is a mutation in the COL1A2 or the COL1A1n or through a new mutation. Osteogenesis imperfecta is of eight types with the first being the least severe and type II being the most severe. Diagnosis of the disorder is dependent on the symptoms and is often confirmed by DNA or collagen testing.
This disorder does not have a cure, at least for the mean time. Fracture not to smoke or use any tobacco products. Treatment involves analgesics, physical therapy, wheel chairs or braces and in extreme cases, surgery. Sometimes, surgical insertion of metal rods through the long bones may be done to support the bones. Research has shown that the use of biphosphate medications may be of help.
The prognosis depends on the type. Many patients however have good prognosis. This may not be unconnected. Note that the term osteogenesis imperfecta was used formally from 1895.
classified into eight – the reason being that four different me of these genes or all of it may be affected in people suffering from the disorder. The defective genes allow the development of eight types of osteogenesis imperfecta identified as 1 OI through 8 OI. The most common types are the first four while the last four are extremely rare. In fact, most are subtypes of the 4 OI class. Below, we will outline the four most common types of osteogenesis imperfecta.
Type 1 Osteogenesis Imperfecta: This is the least serious and most common form of the disorder. Here, the body produces collagen of high quality but inadequate amounts. The result of this is the formation of fragile bones. Children with this type of OI usually have mild fractures and trauma. However, the fractures are not common in adults. The teeth may also be affected leading to cracks in the dentition and the cavities.
Type 2 Osteogenesis Imperfecta: This is the most severe form of the disorder. It may be fatal (life-threatening). Here, the body either produces inadequate collagen, or collagen of very poor quality. It may cause deformities in the bone. Children born with this disorder may have misshapen or broken ribs, narrowed chest or poorly developed lungs. Babies having this disorder may die before birth or shortly after birth.
Type 3 Osteogenesis Imperfecta: This is another severe form of the disorder. It causes easy breakage of bones. In type 3 Osteogenesis Imperfecta, the child produces adequate amount of collagen, but it is of poor quality. The bones may even break prior to birth. Bone deformities are common and may worsen as the child ages.
Type 4 Osteogenesis Imperfecta: This is the most variable form of the disorder – the reason being that the symptoms vary. As with the Type 3, the body produces adequate amounts of collagen, but the quality is poor. Children with this disorder usually have bowed legs, though the bowing decreases with age.
People with Osteogenesis Imperfecta usually have a defective connective tissue, or they may be born without the ability to make the connective tissues, probably due to a deficiency of Type – 1 collagen. The deficiency stems from a substitution of the amino acid glycine to more heavy amino acids in the collagen triple X structure. Amino acid side chains with a larger structure forms a stearic hindrance that causes the collagen complex to bulge. The in turn influences the inter-molecular interactions and molecular nano-mechanics. The body responds to this by hydrolyzing the altered  poorly formed structure, the relationship between the hydroxyapatite crystals and the collagen crystals to form the bones may be altered, resulting in brittleness of the bones.
Another mechanism giving rise to complications is that the stress state within altered collagen fibrils is altered at the location
Genetically, osteogenesis imperfecta is seen as an autosomal dominant disorder of the Type 1 collagen. Many cases occur as a result of mutation in the COL1A1 and COL1A2 genes. Over the years, autosomal recessive forms have been identified. Many cases are due to receipt of the defective gene from a parent. 35 percent of cases are however due to de novo mutations.
Symptom of the disorder
Symptoms vary according to the type of disease. Fragility of bones is common in all cases. However, there is a variation in the severity from person to person. Osteogenesis imperfecta has one or more of the following symptoms:
• Deformities of the bones
• Weakening of the teeth
• The sclera has a characteristic blue color
• Arms and legs get bowed
• The spine assumes an abnormal lateral curvature
• Deafness at an early age
• Cardiovascular defects
• Disorders of the respiratory system.
The basis for diagnosis is medical imaging and symptoms. Medical imaging includes plain X-rays. Via medical imaging, abnormalities may be observed in the spine and all extremities. Confirmation of the diagnosis may be done through collagen or DNA testing. However, in many cases, fracture without significant trauma or a blue sclera and other clinical features are more than enough for a diagnosis.
A skin biopsy may be conducted to determine the quantity and the quality of type 1 collagen. Diagnosis can be confirmed via the DNA testing. However, it cannot excluded because not all mutations that cause osteogenesis imperfecta are tested for. Usually, ultrasound is used for the diagnosis of Osteogenesis Imperfecta Type II during pregnancy. This helps in identifying other fractures in the fetus. Osteogenesis imperfecta cortical bone shows a high level of porosity, connectivity and canal diameter in micro-computed tomography.
Osteogenesis Imperfecta has no cure. However, there are therapies that may support the patient, or help minimize the risk of broken bones and raise the patient’s quality of life. Treatments that may be adopted include:
• Occupational and physical therapy to increase the child’s muscle strength and mobility.
• Use of biphosphate medications to strengthen the bones
• Analgesics in the event of pain
• Less strenuous exercise to assist in bone build up
• Surgical insertion of rods in the child’s bones
• Correction of bone deformities via reconstructive surgery
Research has shown that in the United States, at least one in every 20,000 live births have the disorder. At least 20,000 to . The Ndebele and Shone tribes of Zimbabwe have a higher frequency of Type III to Type I than others. Similar scenarios exists in the South African and Nigerian populations.
Prognosis varies depending on the type. Children with Type 1 OI may live a normal life with not many problems.
Type 2 OI is fatal. Children affected may die before birth or shortly after being delivered, mostly due to issues with the respiratory system.
Type 3 OI are worse. Their bones are deformed and movement is only possible with the aid of a wheel chair. Their lifespans are shorter compared to patients with Type 1 or 4.
The life expectancy of Type 4 OI patients is normal. However, they may need the aid of crushes to walk around.

Chemical kinetics chemical kinetics is the study of the speed at which chemical and physical processes take place integrated form of the rate law. According to the proposed mechanism, the rate law agrees that the mechanism works for this reaction the rate of step 1 = k 1 [h 2] [icl] is in agreement with the experimentally determined rate law, so the mechanism matches the stoichiometry of the overall reaction. If the rate-determining step is the first step in a reaction mechanism, the rate law predicted for the overall reaction will be the same as the rate-law for that step. Relating reaction mechanisms to rate laws it’s often the case that one step in a multistep reaction mechanism is significantly slower than the others.

You have to read it! Go ahead. I'll wait till you come back.
When the power first goes out, it's always difficult to know what to do. Of course, it's impossible to tell how long you'll have to wait. Will it be back in 10 minutes? Will we be eating dinner by candle light?
So I stayed in my apartment, turned off my computer in case I needed it later (I couldn't work anyway seeing as there was no internet access) and found myself a snack.
Then I started getting excited. What a fantastic opportunity! Enforced writing time! I sat down on the sofa next to a window, pulled out my notebooks and started scribbling. The words came thick and fast. I couldn't keep up.
Then, while I was in mid fervour, my air conditioner made a beeping noise. With sickening disappointment I realised the power was coming back on.
How quickly our perception of a situation can change. On a day when I'd been struggling to get things done and couldn't focus my mind on something for more than 5 minutes, an enforced limitation turned me from an unproductive frustration into a fountain of words.
So, while I still don't know how I would manage on a ventilator (no paper and pen!) I did have a demonstration of how limiting situations outside my control can be liberating and great opportunities for extra creative time.
What about you? What kind of enforced limitations have you come across recently?

Wonderful! Having a computer makes writing by hand seem outdated, so when I get a chance to do some handwriting, it's fun. Fun enough to buy a houseful of journals and a handful of nice pens.
I love stationary! I just bought a whole box full of coloured paper clips, elastic bands, noticeboard pins and binder clips. It's funny how purchasing notebooks, pens and other items can make one feel like writing.
Candle light is a good idea too, although I'll have to purchase the candles…and matches.
I agree. I read recently about a writer who was having trouble getting into her character's head so she got out the candles, put on a shawl and started writing by hand. Worked like a charm.
Excellent post! And great article by Jason Reid! I love his comment on the 'power of choice – knowing that you have it and understanding when not to use it'. Very interesting thought.
The 'Power of Positive Thinking' has been long known but barely understoo power of the mind and the spirit make the difference. And often, it is only the creative thinker that can see the positive in the blackness of utter despair. It is only the creative thinker that can find the unexpected escape route. It is only the creative thinker that can visualise their intended goal so vividly that it holds more power than their present circumstances.
Now to exercise that power in every opportunity. I await my next metaphorical blackout with delight! I only hope I recognise it and use it to the full when it arrives.
Isn't there a saying to the effect of, 'When Life gives you lemons, trade it for an apple or something'?


It’s December, meaning it’s.


The email was from Matt L. Wittenrich. The name seemed familiar but it didn't register with me at the time. I usually get my fair share of press releases and invites from booths to come over and check them out, so I didn't think much of it, but I saw that the message contained another familiar name: Nuri Fisher of Piscine Energetics (aka PE Mysis) – they would be in their booth waiting for me. I thought to myself, 'Ok, these guys are legit then, I will go check them out first when I go in because they are conveniently located near the entrance'. Poma Labs…
I got ready and headed down to the show an hour before they opened because well, that's what we content providers do. We start our grind before anyone else and hold a rigorous and grueling schedule for the duration of the show(s). Getting back to the show, I went to Piscine Energetic's booth and met Matt. We shook hands and started to talk,have NEVER seen before. It was a school of baby!I immediately stopped him from talking (looking back, I think this could have been very rude and I am very happy that he didn't take it that way), mic'd him up and started filming. I made the connection after seeing various angelfish and realized that what had happened: they had just captive bred Conspics!
The realizations started to set in after looking at all the different species of angelfish in the tank. Poma Lab = Pomacanthus Lab. This is an Angelfish-oriented company. After hearing him talk for a while, it finally hit me!This was Doctor Matt Wittenrich, the legendary breeder from the University of Florida and Rising Tide who authored several books that have left a huge mark in the world of aquaculture, such aswhich tells you how to breed over 90 different species of marine ornamental fish). Tingling with excitement, I refocused on his interview and soaked up everything he had to say; after all, this was an absolute legend, everything he was saying was aquaculture gold, and he had come out of his brief hiatus to lead an aquaculture revolution. Sounds mind bogglingly exciting right?
Our hobby is advancing at neck breaking speed and Dr. Wittenrich is at the forefront. The days of waiting years for a single species are gone; multiple new species of fish are successfully being bred every year. In the case of Poma Labs, they didn't introduce just one angelfish in the first year, they introduced 9 different species of angelfish ALL at the same time!
For this video, we met up with Dr. Matt Wittenrich of brand new company called Poma Labs. He along with Nuri Fisher of Piscine Energetics, secretively but successfully captive bred 9 angelfish and unveiled them at MACNA. Yes, you read that right. Not one but 9. 9!

So how can you reject me, and tell me no?
Rejection, what is it all about?
Is It A Promise?
Got Competitors? Is that a yes? Well, here’s my next question. Do you think they are on to you? What? Okay, this is what I mean. Your competition wants to know what makes you tick, and or how you do what you do. They want to *keep you in sight; hopefully, so they will know your every move. I know, that sounds scary doesn;t it? However, don’t be alarmed, here’s a word of promise and advice for you to *keep them at bay. It is this.
Life can be unexpected, as it can go left, right, up, down, and sooner or later it will have you spinning around.
So fasten your seat belts please, here goes life!
Note: Like with all exercise, it’s good to check with your doctor first. Then once he gives you the green light, here’s one thing to keep in mind.
Can’t zip, or button up those jeans like you use to?


Hyderabad (Telanganaalleged that incumbent government in Telangana is misusing its power to create an environment of fear like Prime Minister Narendra Modi is doing in the rest of India by using agencies to suppress voices of anybody who questions the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
Pilot claimed that voting for TRS is akin to voting for BJP. “There is no place for BJP in Telangana. The country will surely elect a new government and a new prime minister on May 23,” he said.
Pilot alleged that people who questioned the BJP were being portrayed as traitors. “The minute you ask questions to the BJP or the Prime Minister you are called anti-national. If we ask why there is inflation, why are farmers committing suicide then we are told to ‘go to Pakistan’. This sort of rhetoric which is based on emotions doesn’t serve India well,” he said while 25 parliamentary seats of  Results will be declared on May 23.

"Whether people smoke or not, we're urging people to do something about it and report it anonymously."
g, Gateshead Council, said: "This campaign is about raising awareness of the harm illicit tobacco does to our local communities. Not only are children and young people targeted by people who sell illegal cigarettes but it also brings crime into our neighbourhoods. Wd our communities to try to limit the impact of illegal tobacco."
Ail, said: "Tackling tobacco use is a top priority for us as smoking kills one person in Gateshead every 21 hours. Even though it is such a dangerous product at the moment anyone can sell it. The availability of illegal tobacco is undermining the work we're trying to do as cheaper tobacco means people are less likely to quit and it also makes it easily accessible to children. We strongly believe selling tobacco should be licensed in the same way as selling alcohol so we can more effectively protect people from tobacco harms."

Unfortunately, I have seen that as well. I simply chalk it up to self righteousness and more times than not, call them out for it while attempting to put their focus on their own shortcomings.
I understand. But there is a point when and if the Gospel is added to, or watered down then they are in sin. Not only that , but very serious sin. Especially when such sin is taught and condoned.
Yes... and in my opinion , not the true Gospel at all.
I think we have to be careful when we "include" lies among the true Gospel. This is, after all, one of the enemies most successful tactics. But yes, I understand your point... let's not pretend that the enemy doesn't come to church. He does. EVERY SINGLE SUNDAY.. you get my drift. I ? Because whatever they do teach no MATTER how close to sounding accurate, isn't and is just powerless unto salvation.
There are also saved Christians, who mix errors with the righteousness of Christ within them. This is fact, brother. We all have the sin nature within us, and we tend to pick up false beliefs.
I agree that it's great. Great and very rare to find a place that is mature enough in their love for one another to be able to dwell in unity with each other.
I'm not in the business of determining the eternal fate of "Christians." I will agree that Oneness Theology is serious. I spent a lot of time with the problem of modalism in the mid-70s, because I was for a short time caught up in Witness Lee's "Local Church." When I got into it, I eventually realized that their view of the Trinity was heretical. And upon further investigation, I recognized that they were a cult--they set themselves up above all other churches, on the authority of their leader, Witness Lee.
It is indeed very serious when the Oneness Pentecostals set themselves up as the ones who determine who is saved based on their own authority, and not based on the authority of the Scriptures. And their view of the Trinity is heretical. Maybe you and Slug are right--maybe we should call their denomination "satanic." I'm thinking about it....
Yea, I hear ya. I've seen lots of them. I'm pretty harsh as it is with aberrant groups. Maybe I need to be even more harsh?
Just speak truth and if that seems harsh then perhaps it should be ?
We are at a time in our body where the Shepherd is about to have some medical procedures done that will have him out of commission for at least 3 months. It never fails that when the Shepherd is away, the enemy will send his nonsense. I praise God that He has raised up men in the body that will confront the wolf, not if, but when he comes to the door.
Always know this, it is a "spiritual" battle and the spiritual side that is offended, will get louder, more desperate until the point of literally attempting to kill or actually effectively killing who is speaking the truth. Meaning, Christian's get persecuted, even unto death.
Were such Christian's the "harshEST?" Nope... it simply means, they stood firm in Christ.
So instead of using the term "harsh" you may want to have the perspective of "firm," instead.
I know many cannot accept this, but this part of Mark doesn't sound like Jesus at all. I speak with Him on a daily basis and this just doesn't fit His voice. I asked Him about this and He told me that He didn't say it, and then He showed me where this was added some 1400 years after His death. But, I know how so many love religion in the church, just like the Pharisees. Religion is nothing but a justification for doing evil. In this case, it is a weapon used to cause people to doubt their salvation, and a way to control people. These are satan's ways, not God's.
I Or are they in harmony with the rest of the Bible?

"I actually believe by the time we send the first crew, we will get more donations than we need to finance to the mission, so if it that is true all the revenues [will stay with the corporation]," Lansdorp said. "If it's not necessary to [invest the profit back into the mission], then no, because we need investors to make this happen and the best way of getting investors is by giving them the best deal possible."
"Of course, right now, we need to spend much more money than we get in donations, so there would be a lot of upfront money coming from the for-profit part of the company into the foundation. At some point in time, it will be reduced until it's zero," Lansdorp said. "It might be as soon as two to three years, but it really depends on the hype, and you can't really predict hype. We know by the time we send humans, everybody will be watching — everybody — but it's very difficult to predict if that will be linear or like a hockey stick or a opposite hockey stick."
The Mars One venture is made up of two separately registered entities — Mars One Media B.V., a private corporation that "holds the exclusive media and intellectual property rights to the mission and will give the investors a good return on investment by monetizing those rights," and Mars One, a non-profit foundation which "will own the outpost on Mars, and . . . will train the crews."


Each and every Wednesday evening for approximately 12 consecutive we would arrive at 7:00 p.m. sharp. Each Wednesday evening with Him consisted of Sitting In Silence with Beloved, for approximately one hour. Beloved would then instruct us on some fundamentals of Right Life Disciplines including diet, hygiene, etc. He discoursed and elaborated (the one and only time He's ever done this w/The Knee of Listening to my knowledge) on The Knee Of Listening; His Early Life Spiritual Autobiography. The handful of us would arrive at 7:00 p.m. and leave His Residence generally somewhere between midnight and 2:00 a.m. All of this took place between January of 1973 and into April or so of same year prior to His Pilgrimage to India in August 1973,returning to The Melrose Ashram as Bubba Free John in September 1973."
"Even so, those with him may not sense anything unusual." Some live very casually in life in the Ashram. There's something extraordinary going on in this work and yet everybody is sort of casual and more or less oblivious. When do people begin to realize what is going on?
"But I also enquire of them directly, in relationmoment, I enquirenship." Now, you don't see me generally saying, "Is this the avoidance of relationship, is this the avoidance of relationship?
"But much talk is simply the indulgence of the self-dramatizing activity of our ordinary mind. It is only a display and a scattering of the force of the Heart in forms that are not themselves intelligence or understanding. Much talk is not relationship but only a reprunderstanding. The patterns that continually arise in us are not served by the responses or answers they imply and demand. We are only served by understanding, enquiry and silence." In other words, the verbal instructor, and personal criticism and instruction, teaching of lessons in their outward way has a real function in true spiritual life, in the real process of spiritual life. But it is not the way itself. It is one of the functions of the way, it's one of the activities for which the Man of Understanding is responsible, and for which he makes his Ashram responsible. But these outward forms are serving what?


 Groupon: for $3, you get $6 worth of bubble tea and more at Lollicup. This Groupon is valid at the Fresno location on East Bullard Avenue only.
Lollicup’s evolving menu (it currently has opposable thumbs) treats thirsty Fresnans to more than 170 teas, smoothies, slushes, flavored milk drinks, coffee, and more—many of which can be blended with varying amounts of Taiwanese boba. Much like gummi tractor tires, these large tapioca balls are sweet, chewy, and circular, and can transform tame textures and tastes into subtly synthesized gustatory swirls. Lollicup’s mad scientists are constantly concocting new beverages and shambling affronts to nature in their castle laboratory, with a frothy milk tea swirled with caramel and a velvety hazelnut slush accented with chocolate powder among their latest featured drinks. Other milk teas ($2.99) come in flavors like honeydew, passion fruit, mocha cappuccino, taro, genmai green tea, and lychee. For those who like their natural wonders distilled into bits of colorful ice, try house specialties ($3.59) such as the rainbow slush and volcano slush. Otherwise, feel like you’re drinking a snow globe with the Oreo cookies 'n cream snow bubble ($3.59)—which replaces the usual Charles Dickens characters and trapped miniature Eskimos with America's favorite cookie.
Lollicup's serene, cozy atmosphere provides a relaxing sanctuary where the overheated can suck down liquid boba permutations while calculating the correct algorithms for their all-wingdings search engine. Call up a teatime compatriot or bubble boy and treat them to a little bubble-fueled liquid bliss with today’s Groupon to Lollicup.
Reviews are limited, but Lollicup gets a 3.5-star average from eight Yelpers.

… and lemurs!
Leadership, lessons… and lemurs!
Julie Hanta Razafimanahaka, April 2012
As a student in 2004, Julie joined a CLP team for a project which focused on bats in Madagascar. Nine years later, she is Director at Madagasikara Voakajy (MV) - a leading national NGO in Madagascar tendemic Malagasy species and their habitats. In an interview with the CLP, Julie tells Stuart Parterson of CLP how about her career to date – especially lemurs! I first saw lemurs when I was 13 years old and camping with the scouts, I fell in love with them – the way they look and the way they sound. When I was head of the scouts I led environmental education work with children, which was very rewarding. I originally wanted to be a farmer, but at university I saw that ecological studies would offer me field time. I love travelling, and being surrounded by nature inspires me. I always feel happier and healthier when I'm in the field.
What support have you received from the CLP?! When I first got to the UK I was really nervous and scared that no one would speak Malagasy, but I quickly got used to speaking English all of the time. During this trip I learned that it's surprisingly easy to make newwork at MV looks a key to this is providing the solid scientific information needed for effective conservation, so I really love it when our research findings lead directly into conservation actions that improve the standard of life in the villages where we work.
What has been your most amazing wildlife encounter?
There are so many to choose from! P  – Manjoazy –ed! r…f MV – And instead of managing a team of 6 people, I manage a team of 40! Of course, there are a lot of positive things about the role –I have met respectable conservationists who I had heard so much about in the past and I get to travel to attend meetings and conferences. Recently, I attended the Hunt International Conference in Spain where I presented our work on bushmeat consumption in Madagascar.
'Tsikitsiky lava,' meaning 'Smile, smile, always smile!'
What advice would you give to conservationists starting out in their careers?
Doing research is the easy part of conservation; the most challenging and exciting thing is linking the findings with the conservation actions, and this will always include people. For example, researching bats is the easy part, but it's difficult to link bats with people. In Madagascar, people shoot bats and eat them - especially when other sources of protein are scarce - and young people sometimes kill bats when they are bored. To deter hunting, after each field trip we'd give a presentation to villagers and explain that the number of bats was decreasing. My advice would be that conservationists should always try and link their work with people.
As a student at the University of Antananarivo, I didn't like statistics. I had to use statistics while writing my thesis, and Dr Richard Jenkins, leader of the CLP project, was very patient at teaching me. I then learned statistics at a high level at the University of East Anglia, UK, and became very familiar with them. So I would like to offer my assistance to help others see the interesting side of statistics. I would also like to help future conservation leaders who are managing small teams in the field.
