"I dislike the thought that some animal has been made miserable to feed me. If I am going to eat meat, I want it to be from an animal that has lived a pleasant, uncrowded life outdoors, on bountiful pasture, with good water nearby and trees for shade." – Wendell Berry
I've wanted to share this for a while (years!) but the subject makes me all fiery inside. It's something that effects me greatly, deeply. It's that subject that people just don't want to talk about. I think because everyone loves animals yet they eat them and it's so hard to look and see the truth behind how our meat and milk gets to our mouth. No body wants to see that, nobody wants to be responsible for that.
My journey into these truths began four years ago, randomly, I was bored one day and started watching documentaries on Netflix. ( Food inc., Vegucated, Forks Over Knives) I'm sure it's not like this for every body, but after seeing the cruelty, hearing the facts and doing lots of research for myself I was pretty much vegan that same day- I couldn't, as a consumer, be supporting these industries.
I grew up meat and potatoes. Like I didn't even know what hummus or quinoa was, or even that there was milk besides from a cow! Yikes! A lot of what I ate growing up was probably what most of America eats, lucky charms for breakfast, lunchables, pop tarts, top ramen, hamburger helper (my dad's go to😆) and anything and everything from a jar or can (hello spaghettios). So learning to basically cook again and completely change every aspect of our habits was challenging…but isn't every change a little hard at first? You just begin, stick to it and eventually it becomes normal, second nature. After a year, maybe less, it's hard to remember not being vegetarian, its easy now, our new normal as if it's always been this way. So if the thought of changing to vegan/vegetarian is daunting. Take baby steps, try new things, find what works and what doesn't (still haven't mastered the art of tofu) and let it grow with you. It becomes easier, pinky promise!
Here are a few facts that I find convincing for myself, but go research factory farming and come to a place of awareness and knowledge to make informed decisions for yourself and your family.
-51 percent or more of global greenhouse-gas emissions are caused by animal agriculture. Crap! literally. More interesting facts here.
-Cutting meat and dairy from your diet has more of an impact on the environment than buying a Prius.
Honestly for me, the cruelty is what was convincing because I'm easily effected visually and the images of live animals suffering, feeling, living a life in horrible conditions, then inhumanely slaughtered just for the pleasure of a meal doesn't sit right when meat isn't necessary for me to survive. It's purely for pleasure, so I'm happy to pass!
-you only need 46g of protein a day! Once you learn what alternatives have protein it's easy.
-the chicken and egg industries are awful. Every male baby chick is thrown into a grinder, alive, the females are raised for eggs, beaks cut off, crammed and caged up with no sunlight.
-pigs are kept in cages so small they cannot turn around.
There is so much cruelty I'm not going into, but you can find out for yourself if you try.
The dairy industry is one of the saddest things.
– dairy milk actually leaches calcium from your bones.
– There are blood/pus cells in milk from their utters being hooked up to a machine all day. It's pasteurized so it's safe, but gross! Plus there are hormones and gmos in their milk since the food they eat has pesticides and gmos.
– Cows must be pregnant first to lactate. They are constantly inseminated and pregnant all the time, then their babies are taken away immediately so humans can have their milk. If the calf is a male, it's slaughtered for veil and the females are kept alone, confined, raised for dairy.
– Humans don't need milk. What!!! After you're done nursing from your mama humans do not need milk, crazy right! Not your mama, not your milk. Try SILK almond or cashew milk (we love unsweetened) or any alternative just make sure it's free from carrageenan.
Yes, there are small local farms that are not this cruel, but in order to keep up with the meat and dairy demands of our nation, factory farms are the sad reality.
Another thing I find interesting is that before animals were made a commodity and so readily available for cheap prices, only the wealthy could afford to eat meat and they were the only ones suffering from heart disease, cancer, arteriosclerosis. Now these are our number one killers in America. Studies have been done on eating meat and heart disease and they've found that with a plant based diet it's almost impossible to have high cholesterol, clogging the arteries that leads to heart attacks. Isn't that amazing!
…you might be thinking, how the poop does she get protein, iron, b-12!
I wish I was one of those women who loved cooking, but I don't. I love the eating part, but that's it.
On a typical week this is what our meals might look like… they are easy, simple ingredients, real food!
Breakfast: burritos ( 20g of protein), every day. Yes we eat eggs. Get your own chickens or find a local person/growers market who has a coop. The difference in taste and color is amazing plus you don't have to feel guilty supporting the egg industry. We cook an onion, kale, mushrooms in sriracha and liquid aminos, add eggs to make into a scramble and top with Chipotle Vegenaise.
Lunch: yum cups, risotto, falafel sandwich, couscous, hummus with fresh veggies like bell peppers, carrots, celery. (10+grams of protein in each of these)
Snack: nuts(iron)(5+grams protein), smoothie(10+ grams if you add protein powder, chia seeds, hemp hearts), apple with nut butter and baked goods.
Make sure your protein powder is not whey(dairy) We use hemp or pumpkin protein.
Dinner: curry with veggies & rice (this makes the best curry!), roasted salmon (once in a while I'll buy fish) with veggies, burritos, lots of burritos, squash tacos, rice noodles with peanut sauce and veggies. Lots of dishes with beans added… (15+ protein)
For dessert, our favorite is to blend frozen bananas with cocao powder, almond milk, sometimes peanut butter and always protein powder. This is seriously so good, like ice cream!
For b-12 we take this supplement.
Maybe you're wondering about the husband and how he felt about this big change. At first he was like, 'I'm still drinking milk', but eventually my constant ranting about the dairy industry worked. After we tried a few plant milks and found one we loved, he was sold. It actually tastes better than dairy! Does anyone even like the taste of cow milk?
As for the meat, after learning the truth of it all, he was happy to make this change with me! He's the best!
American culture portrays 'a mans man' as someone who is at the BBQ and eats meat for every meal. I would like that to change our view of 'man' to someone who is kind, compassionate and humble- embodying wisdom, doing what is brave by standing for what is right and honorable when it's not the popular thing to do- standing up for the voiceless. Animals are creatures who were created to feel and think. How these companies have turned animals into an abused commodity is wrong, in so many ways and the practices they carry out, the cruelty, is not something we can just be ignorant to. It's devastating to our land, the world, our bodies and these creatures.
I wanted to write this post, not to condemn anyone who eats meat, but I really just want to share something that I truly care about- to shed a small light on this big subject that isn't talked about a lot, but that is a huge deal for our world right now and needs to be acknowledged. Even just one person can make a difference, in your life, your family's health, impacting the environment and saving hundreds of animals a year, just you.
More links!
Two favorite cookbooks right now, here & here
Dairy free butter or use coconut oil when baking
Veganaise instead of Mayo, it's so yummy! And hello, mayo is so gross!
Sub applesauce or flax meal for eggs when baking
We still eat cheese, but nutritional yeast is something we use a lot in dishes to give it that cheesy flavor. I haven'd found a plant based cheese I love, but almond pepper jack wasn't too bad!
A couple videos. Here & here. Or look for Food inc., Forks over Knives & Vegucated on Netflix.
Warmly, Laura

The Corner of Hope is a pilot initiative to show how Montessori Teacher Training and Schools can be delivered to the most vulnerable communities such as those in refugee, transit and IDP Camps. Its aim is self-reliance not dependence, community not school. Self ownership and control, dignity and self worth which all play an important role in overcoming the effects of trauma experienced by the inhabitants of the camps. It has the added advantage of building for the future and creating transferable skills that will accompany both adults and children wherever their final destination may be.
Project Objectives
- Create a school for 520 children within the IDP Camp
- Train 40 teachers with sufficient knowledge to work in other schools
- Train 4 Mentors with the ability to duplicate the project
- Provide shelter for the school with a wider community purpose
- Feed the children and the teachers
- Stimulate enterprise and impart knowledge in respect of the local manufacture of educational puzzles, uniforms, knit wear, furniture and bricks
- Engage local community in all aspects of the process
- Provide a model for government and NGO analysis
- Seed similar projects in other IDP/Transit Camps
- All building, organising, teaching to be done by the camp inhabitants with only a small amount of external expertise

I have been requested to give my perspectives on the importance of leadership driving key building blocks to sustainable development. This topic is quite involved given that the year 2016 is also the first year of the 15-year life-cycle of the new Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This topic reminds me of the words of an American politician, Marco Rubio, who said: "Leadership can not be measured in a poll or even in the result of an election. It can only be truly seen with the benefit of time. From the perspective of 20 years, not 20 days".
Economic Growth vis-à-vis Economic Development
Let me get going by pointing out that economic development is not only about achieving a high rate of GDP growth. In fact, World Bank's 2016 World Development Indicators use a database of more than 1,300 time series to measure the state of development of countries using indicators on the environment, the economy, state policies and market performance, as well as global links. Similarly, the 2030 Agenda for SDGs is represented by 17 goals and 169 targets.
Whereas economic growth is a phenomenon of market productivity and a rise in GDP, economic development is a policy intervention targeted at the economic and social well-being of all people. Therefore, economic development can also characterise the sustained, concerted actions by policymakers and communities that promote the improvement of people's lives through economic, social, political, and technological change. It is a transformation that certainly requires incomes to grow, but it is also about reducing poverty and inequality, building critical human and infrastructural capital, enhancing competitiveness, and safeguarding environmental sustainability, social inclusion, health, safety, literacy, amongst other initiatives. In addition, economic growth and development both depend on distributive policies, which mean the way society deals with vested interests of advantaged groups and social inequalities in their country. This element of inclusiveness is perhaps the most important factor in a sustained development process, and we are rudely reminded of this important fact in an increasingly uncertain global environment. We must be people-centred in crafting our developmental policies otherwise they will not stand the test of time. In this regard, national ownership and leadership take centre stage in a people-centred development model and I will elaborate more on this in the remainder of my intervention.
Strong Leadership A Prerequisite
While economic development cannot be achieved through strong political leadership alone, and certainly not by only one political leader, however, strong political leadership is one vital element in economic development. In 2005, the World Bank Task Force on Capacity Development in Africa came to the conclusion that "political leadership is the primary driver of capacity development". Leadership will enhance governance and capacity building, while good governance and capacity building will, in turn, facilitate the emergence of new and better leaders.
Today's leadership requires an in-depth understanding that our destiny as an emerging market economy is linked to leadership capabilities. The economic challenges we face, as well as the untapped opportunities, require a higher level of energy and a new set of insights from leaders.
With the regional economies registering sub-optimal growth, the need to develop strong managers and leaders who are prepared to deal with complexities in this uncertain terrain has become more urgent. The role of good leadership and management is a key ingredient for sustainable development, growth and prosperity of our region.
We are living in tough times, and the need to acutely improve leadership and management capabilities and to help create more ambitious, resilient organisations has become more urgent. We need leaders who are able to respond to the current economic slowdown and tackle challenges head-on. We need strong and capable leaders with an innate ability to exploit new business opportunities and improve business efficiency. With the understanding that executive leadership is critical for organisational acceleration, it goes without saying that it is, therefore, essential that business schools and businesses collaborate to create executive education programmes, which will equip managers with the right skills and tools to flourish and lead organisations into the future and contribute towards growth and social welfare.
As mentioned before, economists have designed numerous theories of what are the key drivers of economic development and the factors are expanding by the day. However, let me focus on four high-level policy approaches that successful countries have adopted to achieve rapid economic development:
a) Safeguarding political, social and economic stability – Without doubt, stability is perhaps the most important factor for economic development. The creation of that stable basis for development to kick off requires effective institution building. This involves crafting an institutional infrastructure for strategic planning, as well as monitoring and evaluation to measure progress with implementation. The problem is that we sometimes lack these institutions, or the leadership is hesitant to reform existing institutions. However, knowing the nature of the problem helps to specify the nature of the trade-offs necessary to move nations onto an appropriate reform path.
b) Creating a learning and innovative economy – A learning economy values skills, ideas and technology, and lays the foundations for domestic innovation, which, in turn, is necessary for long-term sustainability based on total factor productivity. Workers without adequate education do not have the skills to take on high-productivity jobs or to adopt new technologies to increase the productivity in the jobs they have. This requires educational reforms on primary, secondary, vocational, and tertiary levels, encouraging research by universities and private sector, and harnessing of digital information using state-of-the-art information and communication technology (ICT).
c) Stimulating entrepreneurship and organisational efficiency – Entrepreneurship must be complemented by strong managerial skills to keep the businesses going and to make the best use of existing as well as leading technologies. Protecting the rule of law and enforceable contracts and combating corruption create incentives to invest, to start up new enterprises, and to expand existing enterprises with high productivity jobs. This, in turn, stimulates new capital formation and entrepreneurial activity.
d) Promoting competition and openness – Trade openness (as opposed to protectionism) is associated with higher growth and the adoption of new technologies. State monopolies, excessive regulations and standards, labour market rules affecting entry and exit of enterprises, and financial market constraints, can dampen competition if they are not carefully designed or controlled. We also need to create a conducive investment regime and improve our capacity for domestic revenue generation and expanding the tax base.
Let me conclude my brief submission on the topic of the importance of leadership driving key building blocks to sustainable development, with a citation of the great statesman, Nelson Mandela. He said: "It is better to lead from behind and to put others in front, especially when you celebrate victory when nice things occur. You take the front line when there is danger. Then people will appreciate your leadership".
Enhanced Transparency And Accountability
Namibia's development aspirations, development outcomes and strategies to be pursued are clearly outlined in our Vision 2030, our 5-year national development plans, and lately the Harambee Prosperity Plan. We are also obliged to follow up at national, regional and global levels on progress made in meeting the SDG goals and targets over the coming 15 years. Progress in meeting our overall strategic goals and targets is regularly assessed through Performance Agreements for Ministers and Political Office Holders. I believe our approach is highly transparent, since all documents pertaining to our planning, monitoring and evaluation processes are accessible to the public, while it also holds public office bearers accountable.
If women are to share in the growth of our economy, the issue of gender equity will have to be more firmly integrated into all Government national plans, policies and strategies. But, the integration of gender equity into our plans alone cannot ensure and/or guarantee that women will share in the growing economies of our region. The integration of gender equity should be complemented by the enthusiasm and diligent commitment of all relevant stakeholders and, in particular, women entrepreneurs and technologically literate women (or techno girls).
I firmly believe that women's empowerment and economic development are closely interrelated. On the one hand, development itself will bring about women's empowerment. Empowering women, on the other hand, will bring about changes in decision making, which will have a direct impact on development. Inequity and inequalities stand in the way of many nations reaching their full potential. Inclusion and equity are good things in their own right, but they also have significant development spin-offs in offering the opportunity to overall success. If, for example, the female half of the population doesn't have the same opportunities as male counterparts do, that is not only opportunity denied to women to meet their full potential, but actually to the whole nation.
Let me conclude with the inspiring wisdom of Kofi Annan who said: "Gender equality is more than a goal in itself. It is a precondition for meeting the challenge of reducing poverty, promoting sustainable development and building good governance."
This is an edited extract from the paper by Namibian Prime Minister Saara Kuugongelwa-Amadhila at the Fifth Gender and Media Summit under the theme 'Empowering Women in and through the Media – Providing a Voice for Gender Equality', in Windhoek on 17 August.

音速 / 商禽
一九八七年八月二十八日 中和
音速 / 商禽
一九八七年八月二十八日 中和
(novelist, poet, teacher, environmentalist)
A grey day in Greymouth and a gathering of people
most of whom I've never met and won't again.
There's scripture, hymns, eulogies and that undeniable
finality that never fails to reduce me to tears.
Time alone will fill the spaces your going's opened up
like evening shadows stealing into the valleys
of the Grey and the Arahura that you knew and loved.
I'd like to think Westland's laureate will one day
receive his due but doubt it, for writing that conveyed
a love of place, respect for people and other creatures,
and an unwavering faith in the force of patient instruction
has never been sexy in a land where cultural cringing's
enduring. Add to that work which celebrated natural beauty,
advocated continuance and expressed a desire for peace,
and you were always going to be swimming against the tide.
Peter, with your calming goodwill, you were that rare
sort of man we call decent if not saintly. At your service
I was awash with memories and regrets
while up and down the Coast and over the mountains
a raw wind blew, and bells tolled wherever I turned.
Shingle ground on the shore like pebbles in a crop
and the wind off the Tasman badgered the flax
at the top of the beach where you gathered wood often.
Offshore, pickets of rain were driving into a slowly
heaving grey sea. I know you hoped for a longer life
in your green-painted wooden house
on the edge of the forest a kilometre or more
inland at Paroa, a stream talking constantly
within metres of your backdoor. Instead a friend
found you dead several days on the floor
under your bed, and it all seemed tragic and unfair,
the stingy absence of dignity or justice that fate
decreed for you. Now, asking Where to go from here?
and What more could I have done? – the one a puzzle,
the other futile – I think of the people who admired and maybe
even loved you, too, and never told you so because we seldom do.
This technique of metamorphosis has been studied by Sceglov in an extremely lucid and persuasive essay. 'All these transformations', saysSceglov, 'concern the distinctive physical and spatial characteristics which Ovid usually highlights even in elements not subject to metamorphosis("hard rock", "long body", "curved back") . . . Thanks to his knowledge of the properties of things, the poet provides the shortest route for themetamorphosis, because he knows in advance what man has in common with dolphins, as well as what he lacks compared to them, and what theylack compared to him. The essential point is that since he portrays the whole world as a system made up of elementary components, the process of transformation — this most unlikely and fantastic phenomenon — is reduced to a sequence of quite simple processes. The event is no longer represented as a fairytale but rather as a collection of everyday, realistic facts (growing, diminishing, hardening, softening, curving, straightening, joining, separating etc.).'
Ovid's writing, as described by Sceglov, appears to contain within itself the model, or at least the programme, for Robbe-Grillet at his most coldand rigorous. Of course such a description does not exhaust everything we can find in Ovid. But the important point is that this way of portraying(animate and inanimate) objects objectively, 'as different combinations of a relatively small number of basic, very simple elements' sums up exacdythe only incontrovertible philosophy in the poem, namely 'that of the unity and inter-connectedness of everything that exists in the world, both thingsand living creatures'.
Setting out his cosmogony in the first book and his profession of faith in Pythagoras in the last, Ovid clearly wanted to provide this naturalphilosophy with a theoretical basis, perhaps to rival the by now remote Lucretius. There has been considerable discussion as to the weight oneshould attach to these professions of faith, but probably the only thing thatmatters is the poetic consistency of the manner in which Ovid portrays and narrates his world: namely this swarming and intertwining of events thatare often similar but are always different, in which the continuity and mobility of everything is celebrated.
Before he has even finished the chapter on the origins of the world and its early catastrophes, Ovid is already embarking on the series of loveaffairs that the gods have with nymphs or mortal girls. There are several constants in the love stories (which mostly occupy the liveliest part of thepoem, the first eleven books): as Bernardini has shown they involve love at first sight, overwhelming desire, no psychological complications, and demand an immediate resolution. And since the desired creature usually refuses and flees, the motif of the chase through the woods constandyrecurs; metamorphosis can occur at different times, either before (the seducer's disguise), during (the pursued maiden's escape), or afterwards(punishment inflicted by another jealous deity on the seduced girl).
Compared with the constant pressure of male desire, the instances of female initiative in love are rather rare; but to compensate, these are usuallymore complex desires, not sudden whims but real passions, which involve greater psychological richness (Venus in love with Adonis), often containa more morbid erotic element (the nymph Salmacis who when she sexually embraces Hermaphroditus blends into a bisexual creature), and insome cases are totally illicit, incestuous passions (such as the tragic characters Myrrha and Byblis: the way in which the latter realises her desirefor her brother, through a revelatory but upsetting dream, is one of the finest psychological passages in Ovid), or tales of homosexual love (Iphys), or of wicked jealousy (Medea). The stories of Jason and Medea open up right at the centre of the poem (Book 7) a space for a genuine romance tale,involving a mixture of adventure, brooding passion, and the 'black' grotesque scene of the magic philtres, which will resurface almost identically in Macbeth.
pp. 34-35.
So it came time
for me to cede myself
and I chose
the wind
to be delivered to
The wind was glad
and said it needed all
the body
it could get
to show its motions with
and wanted to know
willingly as I hoped it would
if it could do
something in return
to show its gratitude
When the tree of my bones
rises from the skin I said
come and whirlwinding
stroll my dust
around the plain
so I can see
how the ocotillo does
and how saguaro-wren is
and when you fall
with evening
fall with me here
where we can watch
the closing up of day
and think how morning breaks
(A.R. Ammons, 1955)
Further Question
Why do I ask where you are
if I'm not blind
and you're not absent?
If I see you
go and come,
you, your tall body
ending in a voice
as a flame ends in smoke
in the air, untouchable.
And I ask you, yes,
and I ask you
what you're made of
and whose you are
and you open your arms
and show me
the tall image of yourself
and say it's mine.
And I go on asking, forever.
(Pedro Salinas, 1891-1951, Madrid. In W.S. Merwin, Selected Translations 1968-1978. New York: Atheneum, 1979, 17.)
A man spells out his tiredness.
All at once as he spells
he meets some strange capital letters,
unexpectedly alone,
unexpectedly tall.
They weigh more on the tongue.
They weigh more but they get away
faster and hardly
can they be spoken.
His heart crowds into the roads
where death is exploding.
And he meets, as he goes on spelling,
bigger and bigger capital letters.
And a great fear chokes him
of finding a word
written all in capitals
and not being able to pronounce it.
(Roberto Juarroz, 1925-1995, Argentina. Ibid., 35.)
Some favourite Les Murray poems.
Cockspur Bush
I am lived. I am died.
I was two-leafed three times, and grazed,
but then I was stemmed and multiplied,
sharp-thorned and caned, nested and raised,
earth-salt by sun-sugar. I was innerly sung
by thrushes who need fear no eyed skin thing.
Finched, ant-run, flowered, I am given the years
in now fewer berries, now more of sling
out over directions of luscious dung.
Of water crankshaft, of gases the gears
my shape is cattle-pruned to a crown spread sprung
above the starve-gut instinct to make prairies
of everywhere. My thorns are stuck with caries
of mice and rank lizards by the butcher bird.
Inches in, baby seed-screamers get supplied.
I am lived and died in, vine woven, multiplied.
The Fishermen at South Head
They have walked out as far as they can go on the prow of the continent,
on the undercut white sandstone, the bowsprits of the towering headland.
They project their long light canes
or raise them up to check and string, like quiet archers.
Between casts they hold them couched,
a finger on the line, two fingers on a cigarette, the reel cocked.
They watch the junction of smooth blue with far matt-shining blue,
the join where clouds enter,
or they watch the wind-shape of their nylon
bend like a sail's outline
south towards, a mile away, the city's floating gruel
of gull-blown effluent.
Sometimes they glance north, at the people on that calf-coloured edge
lower than theirs, where the suicides come by taxi
and stretchers are winched up
later, under raining lights
but mostly their eyes stay level with the land-and-ocean glitter.
Where they stand, atop the centuries
of strata, they don't look down much
but feel through their tackle the talus-eddying
and tidal detail of that huge simple pulse
in the rock and their bones.
Through their horizontal poles they divine the creatures of ocean:
a touch, a dip, and a busy winding death gets started;
hands will turn for minutes, rapidly,
before, still opening its pitiful doors, the victim
dawns above the rim, and is hoisted in a flash above the suburbs
– or before the rod flips, to stand
trailing sworn-at gossamer.
On that highest dreadnought scarp, where the terra cotta
waves of bungalows stop, suspended at sky,
the hunters stand apart.
They encourage one another, at a distance, not by talk
but by being there, by unhooking now and then
a twist of silver for the creel, by a vaguely mutual
zodiac of cars TV windcheaters.
Braced, casual normality. Anything unshared,
a harlequin mask, a painted wand flourished at the sun,
would anger them. It is serious to be with humans.
Quintets for Robert Morley
Is it possible that hyper-
ventilating up Parnassus
I have neglected to pay tribute
to the Stone Age aristocracy?
I refer to the fat.
We were probably the earliest
civilized, and civilizing, humans,
the first to win the leisure,
sweet boredom, life-enhancing sprawl
that require style.
Tribesfolk spared us and cared for us
for good reasons. Our reasons.
As age's counterfeits, forerunners of the city,
we survived, and multiplied. Out of self-defence
we invented the Self.
It's likely we also invented some of love,
much of fertility (see the Willensdorf Venus)
parts of theology (divine feasting, Unmoved Movers)
likewise complexity, stateliness, the ox-cart
and self-deprecation.
Not that the lists of pugnacity are bare
of stout fellows. Ask a Sumo.
Warriors taunt us still, and fear us:
in heroic war, we are apt to be the specialists
and the generals.
But we do better in peacetime. For ourselves
we would spare the earth. We were the first moderns
after all, being like the Common Man
disqualified from tragedy. Accessible to shame, though,
subtler than the tall,
we make reasonable rulers.
Never trust a lean meritocracy
nor the leader who has been lean;
only the lifelong big have the knack of wedding
greatness with balance.
Never wholly trust the fat man
who lurks in the lean achiever
and in the defeated, yearning to get out.
He has not been through our initiations,
he lacks the light feet.
Our having life abundantly
is equivocal, Robert, in hot climates
where the hungry watch us. I lack the light step then too.
How many of us, I wonder, walk those streets
in terrible disguise?
So much climbing, on a spherical world;
had Newton not been a mere beginner at gravity
he might have asked how the apple got up there
in the first place. And so might have discerned
an ampler physics.
Poetry and Religion
Religions are poems. They concert
our daylight and dreaming mind, our
emotions, instinct, breath and native gesture
into the only whole thinking: poetry.
Nothing's said till it's dreamed out in words
and nothing's true that figures in words only.
A poem, compared with an arrayed religion,
may be like a soldier's one short marriage night
to die and live by. But that is a small religion.
Full religion is the large poem in loving repetition;
like any poem, it must be inexhaustible and complete
with turns where we ask Now why did the poet do that?
You can't pray a lie, said Huckleberry Finn;
you can't poe one either. It is the same mirror:
mobile, glancing, we call it poetry,
fixed centrally, we call it religion,
and God is the poetry caught in any religion,
caught, not imprisoned. Caught as in a mirror
that he attracted, being in the world as poetry
is in the poem, a law against its closure.
There'll always be religion around while there is poetry
or a lack of it. Both are given, and intermittent,
as the action of those birds–crested pigeon, rosella parrot–
who fly with wings shut, then beating, and again shut.
Know then thyself, presume not God to scan;
The proper study of Mankind is Man.
Plac'd on this isthmus of a middle state,
A Being darkly wise, and rudely great:
With too much knowledge for the Sceptic side,
With too much weakness for the Stoic's pride,
He hangs between; in doubt to act, or rest;
In doubt to deem himself a God, or Beast;
In doubt his mind or body to prefer;
Born but to die, and reas'ning but to err;
Alike in ignorance, his reason such,
Whether he thinks too little or too much:
Chaos of thought and passion, all confus'd;
Still by himself abus'd, or diasbus'd;
Created half to rise, and half to fall;
Great lord of all things, yet a prey to all;
Sole judge of truth, in endless error hurl'd;
The glory, jest, and riddle of the world!
–Alexander Pope, "An Essay on Man", Second epistle, 1-18 (1734)

EditWalkthrough: Day Four
Day Four
- Charms Class on the Second Floor
- Quidditch Match vs Ravenclaw at the Quidditch Stadium
Harry gets up bright and early to find that h it's next class it's Charms with Flitwick, so head to the second floor to find Ron already there. Enter the Incendio Challenge Chamber. During the class -- you guessed it -- Harry will once again be selected to go through a danger-filled dungeon and retrieve the spellbook. Strange how much th it's dungeon looks like the last one, except it's all hot up in here!
Incendio Challenge Chamber
Once he's out of the way, head through the doorway behind him. Climb up the stairs and go through the door. Jump over the gap and d it'spose of the crab creature before he has a chance to blow a deadly breath of fire. If you look down, you'll see a two more gargoyle statues in separate, confined spaces. Hop down to one of them -- whichever one first it's fine and battle him. When you beat it, it leaves behind an egg-shaped rock, and the gates open. Cast Avifors on the rock, then leave through the gates and head back up to higher ground. Afterward, go on to face the next gargoyle. Cast Avifors on the rock it leaves behind too. Now that the both rocks have found a cuddly new home on both switc he's, the gate to the side has now opened.
Within the sancity of the next chamber lies the Incendio spellbook. However, it's well-guarded by those stationary (warthogs?) canon things that breathe fire. Cast it's head back with a Flipendo as it fin it's he's breathing fire, then run across to the spellbook. Pick up the book to learn your second-to-last spell, Incendio!
Your next task it's to light up all four braziers around the room at nearly the same time. If you stall for too long, the first one will eventually be extingu it'shed. Then quickly run to the door when the gate it's ra it'sed. The can'tch it's that it lowers as each brazier goes unlit, and closes completely if none of the braziers are lit. Basically, you can inch past the closing gate with only two braziers. I recommend lighting the two on the side, next to the exit, then running like the wind toward the exit.
Follow the path and slide down the slope. You'll end up at the dungeon entrance. Descend the stairs and light up the lone brazier on left side of the room (standpoint from the dungeon entrance). Th it's causes the large pillar blocking a doorway to collaspe. In the chamber beyond, push the right-hand wall switch to douse the flame guarding another wall switch. Go back out and face the warthog statues. Ignite it with an Incendio spell and it will start spewing fire. Flipendo it to flip it's head upward, ra it'sing the platform. Do th it's to both statues, so that you could cross to the wall switch. Be quick, as the inanimate statue won't breathe fire forever. Do the same on the other side. Push the switc he's until the blazing fires are put out and are safe enough for you to cross. Once both wall switc he's have been activated, you will be free to leave.
Back in the classroom, check one end behind the last row of desks for a c he'st covered in cobwebs. Use Incendio to burn they away. Another c he'st it's hidden behind the foldable chalk board. Open it to find another Wizard Card. Head to the Quidditch Stadium; you have a very important game to attend to. They need your expert it'se! Join the game and beat down your opposition, Ravenclaw! Adhere to the same strategy that has worked so well for you, and you'll do fine.
After Ron congratulates you on your outstanding performance, he returns to the dorm to get some rest.
Night Four
- Talk to Hagrid in Hagrid's Hut
- Follow the trail of spiders.
- Escape from Aragog
After the interesting event, Harry it's weighed down with a new goal in mind: to go see Hagrid. Hagrid's place it'sn't in Hogwarts, so you need to, yet again, leave the safety of the common room and head out to Hogwarts Grounds. Outside, head toward take the path to Forbidden Forest. Th it's leads straight to Hagrid's Hut. Harry overhears a conversation take place between Hagrid, Dumbledore and a mysterious man. Before they leave, Hagrid "inadvertently" tosses aside a key, so Harry goes and picks it up. If you're sharp, you would have heard Hagrid drop a hint or two about finding the Chamber of Secrets, and that it's to follow the trail of spiders. Now go to through the wooden door behind Hagrid's Hut to enter the Forbidden Forest.
Forbidden Forest
The next area it's home to a lot of tiny, scuttling spiders. Their alarmingly small size makes them harder to hit targets. Therefore, you should exerc it'se caution around here and keep your eyes peeled for movement along the ground. Get them before they get you! Burn the web here, completely ignoring the side path to the left and continue into the dept he's of the forest.
More spiders will descend on you, so be ready to fry 'em! Exterminate the spider infestations here, and burn through the webbing in the ground. Jump into the hole to dive into the heart of problem. Harry has invaded the nest of a GIANT spider! Looks like he wants you to stay for dinner. How kind of him?
It's a boss fight! No, wait?app aren'tly, you must find a way to reach him. You must go around and take a long winding path, climb rocks and clear the path of h it's lackeys. Head down the slope and squash all the scuttling things like insects?wait, they are insects! Follow the rather linear path, cleaning up the spider infestation, until you see the poppa spider kicking back on h it's web hammock. Still can't fight him yet. Burn away the thick web to the left and climb up the steps, then follow the rocky path around to the other side. Along the way you can find the Herman Wintrinham (63) Wizard Card in a c he'st sitting on a ledge.
When you arrive in front of him again, burn the web on the right, then head to the back wall and flatten against it. Shuffle across the unseen ledge to the other side. Take th it's path to another support which holds the giant web hammock in the air. After searing the web, take the Jocunda Sykes (64) Wizard Card from the c he'st and proceed to burn the last web at the end. Aragog's (papa spider) web can no longer sustain h it's weight, so it becomes flimsy and he finally tears through it and falls to the ground below him. Harry follows him shortly and safely lands on h it's back. It's obvious that he get grumpy on an empty stomach.
Th it's it's where the fight will commence. Equip Incendio and Flipendo to be properly prepared for th it's intense battle. Aragog has an army of tiny spiders crawling widly about under h it's protective wing, and will continue to follow him around until he sends them out to attack. H it's exoskeleton it's hard as metal, so all your spells are ineffective. However, every now and then, he will ra it'se h it's body and expose h it's weakspot -- h it's underbelly. When it glows yellow, blast that part with Incendio and he will feel the heat of your spell! Beware of h it's pouncing baby spiders of death! They can get annoying. Other than sending out h it's lackeys to do the dirty work, Aragog also has a few attacks up in h it's bag of tricks.
He often charges at you with h it's massive body, which it's hard to avoid if you don't start moving away beforehand. When he stomps the ground, he creates a tremendous, but slow-moving shockwave that grows larger and spreads outward. Stay as far away as possible and you'll be fine.
When he finally goes down, Aragog drops a shiny object. Go up to it and collect a Potion Vial. At th it's point, "mercy" it's no longer a part of Aragog's vocabulary, but before you become mince meat, Ron comes to the rescue and returns you to safety. How he knew you were there escapes me. Afterward, it's time for bed, everyone!

From Charlotte, North Carolina, USA:
My daughter has had diabetes for about fourteen months, she just had a visit with her endocrinologist, and her hemoglobin A1c was 5.8%. We were all very excited, but it is slowly coming up. Today she noticed a brown patch on her neck under her chin. Is this normal for someone with type 1 diabetes? Her period, which she's only had for a year are not quite regular yet (maybe every other month), and I worry about that ovarian disease. Will this brown discoloration go away or get worse? What causes it?
The syndrome that you were probably thinking of is called the Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). You will need to discuss this possibility with your daughter's endocrinologist, but the main characteristics are irregular menstruation, hyperandrogenism, antibody negative diabetes that initially does not require insulin, and evidence of insulin resistance.
There is a tendency to be overweight and the brown spot is probably a skin condition called Acanthosis Nigricans. This latter is unlikely to go away spontaneously and treatment is rather unsatisfactory although a variety of approaches from nicotinamide to plastic surgery have been successfully employed. Treatment of the diabetes with metformin is a course to consider.

Dad used to be a short-order cook at Howard Johnson's way back in the day. That's how he met my mother. Six months later they were engaged. Six months after that they married. Nine month's later there was me. True Hojo romance right there. Anywho, enjoy!

The last time that a poll was taken concerning the Dream Act, a full 60 percent of Americans were against legalizing 15 million workers who came into this country illegally. These illegal immigrants not only came into this country illegally they are taking work away from Americans who are trying to support their families with any kind of work they can get.
The longer our country continues to cut its budget by eliminating jobs, these improper practices allow us to look into the near future and see education and services disappear along with our paychecks. Americans without jobs do not pay income taxes to help support our country and only become a liability to our local and national economy.
It seems that illegal immigrants have more support from our politicians who show little regard for American workers who are receiving little help from these elected officials. Even our president seems to be making his new priority to allow illegal immigrants to receive benefits such as education and job training over Americans to show what a wonderful and non-discriminating country we are.
The real Dream Act should be to protect our borders and allow those born in the United States to realize the American dream of providing for ourselves and our families before we give this dream to those born in foreign countries.

Andy's work as an academic and practitioner focus on digital technologies and innovation, consumer insights studying future trends in digital technologies, society and organisations in order to improve business and marketing management systems.
Recently, he has been inspired to branch out into new topics relating the future of learning both in higher education and within organisations as a whole.
His personal goal and ambition is to understand how and what humans will be applying learning with the development of machine learning and AI, the future of workplace and how companies will be building their digital leadership capabilities integrating human and machine work in a sustainable way.
While writing this blog, he hopes to be improving his own knowledge, and hopefully, the knowledge of the readers as well.
This blog will explore not only the aforementioned, but also the integration and intersection of three ecosystems – the physical world, what we see and experience all around us, and the vast human world that dauntingly surrounds us, the mind, the self or the individual and lastly, the virtual world.
The daunting reality is that we should already be making changes today that will lead us towards a sustainable future. Technologies are moving at a faster pace than our ability to embrace these changes and adapt. My goal is to get voices and opinions across that bolster and aid the efforts of many minds working on arduous tasks, students preparing to join the workplace and organisation struggling to come to terms with all these changes. – Andy Lima
A summary of activities Andy is currently involved in:
> Business consultancy and coaching in the area of Digital Strategy, Business Innovation, Marketing and Leadership development for SMEs, non-profits and Global companies;
> Research & Enterprise work applied to both academia and industry;
> Development of Higher Education teaching programmes as well as seminars and workshops for companies including public speaking in business events and conferences;

Tags: Cody, dog, Fremont, mate, sheltie, tail
Because, in my opion, people have a tendency to betray, my ideal mate is my dog. I do not mean mate in the way most of you may think, I am refering to companion. My dog is a sheltie named Cody. He is the most loving creature on the planet earth and beyond. I had the blessing of seeing him this past weekend. When he arrived in Fremont, he jumped out of the car and ran straight toward me. He was wagging his course, fluffy tail back and forth. His undeniable love gleamed in his eyes. As dorky as it sounds to say about a dog, but I know he missed me as much as I missed him.

Forums are engaging and with politics being such a heated topic with so many opinions, you want to gauge what people are thinking about. What better place to do this than an online forum? You can join in now.
A Place To Share Your Opinions
You will have opinions but where do you share them? Do you just start saying them out loud as you are sitting on the bus hoping someone will listen? No, you don't do that as this would be awkward. Well, sometimes political discussion are uncomfortable!
You go to an online forum and talk about it with people who actually care.
They will listen to you and also respond. NAR, a new website that claims to be a hub for Republicans, looks to do the same.
These forums are structured, and they attract people. You don't have to go around looking for someone to have a good political discussion with. Most people can be careless about their politics and that can be tedious for someone who is well-versed on the topic and has a lot to share. If you are not getting a good place to sound out what is on your mind, you won't feel stimulated to keep the discussion going.
This is why forums are put up high on the list of places to go for you to speak with others who want to talk about politics.
You can't just knock on doors and talk to strangers, so why not do it in a place where this is normal and can lead to significant discussions? You can join in at any time and add posts for other people to respond. It is so easy and so much fun as well. You will just enjoy it, and that is what you need as an individual who is looking to speak about politics. These forums are amazing because of how they are structured for you.

My big cooking challenge for this week is planning my son's birthday party and keeping it fun and treat filled and yet still healthy. Kind of a tall order, don't you think? Typical birthday parties for kids include unlimited soda, chips, tasteless Walmart type cake, and lots of candy in the goodie bags. Each child probably consumes in excess of 100 grams of sugar!
This post details how to make the Master Tonic and why it is so effective as a homemade, totally natural anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-parasitic remedy. Note that the Master Tonic is not to be confused with the Master Cleanse.
Who needs Tamiflu with all its dangerous side effects when you have the Master Tonic,
Kombucha tea is a traditional Russian drink that is made from fermenting plain black tea and cane sugar. When made with green tea and honey the beverage is called Jun tea.
Both types of fermented tea have been consumed for hundreds of years. Scientific testing in Russia demonstrated fermented tea to be an effective overall body detoxifier through the binding of the organic acids to all manner of toxins present in the body.
I spent several hours in the kitchen today. Made a huge pot of "from scratch" chili using some homemade tomato puree I made the other day with a big bag of tomatoes given to us by a friend. The beans in the chili were prepared the traditional way .. that is, soaked for 24 hours in water with a bit of lemon juice before cooking to make them much more digestible and non-gassy.
Did you know that ALL boxed breakfast cereals are toxic?
In fact, organic boxed breakfast cereal is the most toxic of all! How can this be? It seems that everywhere you turn, a bowl of breakfast cereal is touted as a very healthy choice for your first meal of the day.
It's not true,
As a Weston A. Price Foundation Chapter Leader, I've had a number of folks ask me what I think about this swine flu hysteria that is dominating the news this week. Well, it seems to me that it is a GREAT time to vacation in Mexico! Think of all the great deals that must abound right about now and for the coming weeks.
All you healthy home economists have nothing to fear from the swine flu! Your true wellness will more than protect you from whatever ravages this "previously unknown" virus may wreak. Just make sure you are taking your fermented cod liver oil (www.greenpasture.org) every single day! It takes many weeks to get those vitamin D levels optimal,
