Whatever initiates, is destined for conclusion; and so like another year, 2017 too came to it's closure, giving way to 2018. The gone year left us with memories, both joyous & regrettable, some ups & downs, some lessons to be learnt and above all, HOPE, to become better of what we were.
"While for some, endings bring joy, hopes and promises; some feel an unfillable vacuum. It all depends on our perspective, how do we wanna see the new beginnings"
But for us, here, the year ended with in a revelatory mode, paving way towards history. We not only did aware ourselves about Sugreeve's loyalty, but his astonishing knowledge of the contemporary world that not only awed us drawing relativity with modern geography, but also substantiated our beliefs, for Ramayan.
We have so far learned about the two directions (Eastern & Southern), and as we've stepped into the new year (with 11 months to go, it's still new year), time to learn about the remaining two directions.
Team West:
Vaanar Leader: Sushern. Compared to the eastern & southern, direction WEST was much certain, but, complex and varied. Hence this time Sugeeve turned to someone who was tactical & judicious, Tara's father, an aged vaanar who looked suitable to head the team for direction west. Sushern was eulogized among the whole vaanar species for his prudence. To aid him, Sugreeve chose sons of revered sage, Marichi: Archismaan & Archimalya, they were both effectual vaanars who were there to serve their emperor along with their army.
Total no. of Vaanars sent: Two lakh.
Total no. of Vaanars sent: Two lakh.
Places Mentioned: Sugreeve humbly bowed to his father-in-law, Sushern and apprised him and his newly formed team about the upcoming places on their journey towards West. They needed to start their exploration from Avanti kingdom followed by Anglepapuri and Jatapur; Sugreeve hoped these kingdoms might have some information associated with Devi Sita. Great Kukshidesh, that had an expansion of numerous cities under it, would come next; the kingdom could be identified with the trees of Bakul and Udyalak. Sugreeve cautioned them to stay alert due to dense forest area. Then the vaanars needed to search out the coastal areas and kingdoms viz. Saurashtra as well as Bahleek, Chandrachitra and other prosperous cities around.
Adjacent to Saurashtra & Bahlik, there was a large section of west that was desert, exceedingly vast viz. a viz. cold rocks and states surrounded by mountain ranges. Sugreeve told the vaanars to don't pay much heed there as Vaidehi won't be held in reserve in that area. After the dried region, what followed next was the merging point of the sea and Sindhu River that the vaanars need to keep note of, for directions purpose and to keep track of a mountain, Somgiri. The mount had 100 peaks and populated with giant trees. The pinnacle of sky scrapper Somgiri was gold-encrusted, which could be identified with strange trees. Sugreeve asked the vaanars to search the mount swiftly, but keenly. This sea was extremely hazardous, with dreadful creatures such as giant crocodiles, fishes known as 'jal timi' that were gargantuan and carnivorous; the vaanars needed to be careful while traversing.
Their next stop over was Pariyatra mountain. It was 100 yojan by dimensions and difficult for a common being to trace. Sugreeve assured them, with kapiraj Sushern's guidance they would be able to reach the mountain easily and can extend their search to every nook and corner. Simultaneously, Sugreeve warned them about the inhabitants of the mount, 24 crores 'gandharws' who could easily shape-shift, they were radiant as fire and very powerful. Since the gandharws didn't like intrusions, the possibility of Raavarn keeping Devi Sita their was bare minimum and hence the vaanars needed to avoid exploring the mount and pass without getting into any trouble.
Next to the Pariyatra was the famous mountain named Vajra, bluish like a sapphire. The mountain had a 100 yojan widespread and a rock solid surface, like a diamond. With multiplicity of caves in Vajra Mount, Sugreeve told them to search every single cave carefully.
After traversing the Pariyatra & Vajra, the vaanars would reach another mountain, Chakravan and then Varah Mountain. Besides the immense shores, Varah was 64 yojans away from Chakravan. The Varah mount had a city known as Pragjyotish that was ruled by a daanav named 'Narak'. Sugreeve asked the vaanars to maintain their search discreetly and when they are convinced, they must leave the mount immediately.
Passing Mount Varah, there came another mount that had plentiful of waterfalls that grace the mountain, Meghgiri. The mountain had an historical relevance, as it was here once, king of the devas', Indra'a coronation held. After crossing Meghgiri, the vaanars would further come across to a myriad of mountains that were source to gold and other metals. Amidst these mountains, stood Mount Meru that is worshiped by Vasus, Marudgarns along with other devas. A great sage 'Merusaavarni' resided there, an accomplished sage who achieved many powers through austerity. Sugreeve told the vaanars to bow to him with all humility and enquire about Janaki.
The last known point towards west was Astachal that was quite distant from Meru. A grand palace made by Vishwakarma at its peak, for Varun dev was the landmark explained by Vaanar Emperor.
Sugreeve asked his vaanars to return after visiting Astachal as it was the last known point to him and hence advised them to not risk their lives by trying to approach further.
Today's Geography: Sugreeve directed Sushern towards the West, according to his set parameters. The vaanars' journey here started from Madhya Pradesh, they covered the Avanti kingdom which is present time Ujjain, adjoining was Jatapur probably today's Jatapur, Khargone district. Kukshidesh is Kukshi town under Dhar district, Madhya Pradesh. The Bahleeks were settled in the regions of Punjab, their reference here with Saurashtra (Gujrat) indicates that they extended their settlement to the Gujrat territory, or may be here Sugreeve here referred to both (Gujrat area of Bahlik as well as Punjab region).
The desert Sugreeve mentioned is by all means, Thar Desert, as it's the only one nearby Gujrat, Madhya Pradesh and Pakistan. Post that he mentioned Somgiri mountain at the merging point of Sindhu River and the sea, which obviously would be the Arabian sea. Since eons have passed and geographical changes are obvious, along with rivers' route changes, we can only assume then location of Somgiri. But given directions indicate to either Kalo Dungar/Black Hill of Gujrat, or the Kirthar Range in Pakistan (which is more probable as Sindhu/Indus meets the Arabian Sea, Karachi).
Now comes The Pariyatra Mountain and here the mentioning of Gandharws makes things slight easy; since Gandhar (today's Kandahar, Afghanistan) was known as habitat to the gandharws, it shouldn't come as amazement that this Pariyatra could be today's Sulaiman Mountain range, southern extension to Hindu Kush Mountain that conjoins Afghanistan and Balochistan. Considering the number of gandharws given and the sea's proximity to the mountain, it is possible that the mountain stretch included the Makran-Siahon range too (May Be). While the Baloch issue's a hullabaloo everywhere, this fact could be a cause of bewilderment for many.
Next came the Vajra Mount, perhaps the Zagros range in Iran fits ,closest as it has a total length of 1500 kilometers, equivalent to described 100 yojans.
Next came the Vajra Mount, perhaps the Zagros range in Iran fits ,closest as it has a total length of 1500 kilometers, equivalent to described 100 yojans.
The Zagros extend to the North-West of Iran, preceding Turkey and Armenia. Mount Chakravan could be the Yereven city of Armenia, whose basic plan is, circular (in chakra/discus format).
From Yerevan, around 750 kilometers distance is Mount Ararat, Turkey; now this would interest you that this distance is pretty similar to 64 yojans, the distance between Mount Chakravan and Mount Varah.

And now comes the flabbergasting, Mount MEGHGIRI. The descriptive legend of Indra's coronation here, caught my attention and the curious in me. Hitherto, we have reasoned Mount Varah's probable location as Turkey; hence the country that follows Turkey is...... GREECE, land of the Olympian Gods. And Indra's coronation in Meghgiri ring so many bells, as the mount is stated next to Varah, that is Greece. As stated by Pauranik (historical) legends, Indra is lord of thunder and devraj, i.e. king of the devas; and if we run into Greek mythology... yes, I know you see that coming too, Zeus, God of thunder, prime among the Olympians, is the Greek counterpart of Indra; no wonder why Zeus is the most revered deity there. If we are knocking the right door, then Meghgiri can be traced to Mount Olympus, the home to the Greek-Gods; as Mount Olympus is situated at Greece's eastern coastal area.
|{Mount Olympus of Zeus or rather Mount Meghgiri where Indra's coronation was held}
{Two Thunder-Deities, or a Deity with different recognition in Greece}

It's hard to describe or identify further, perhaps the regions of Africa may be. Mount Meru, the legendary and most revered is hard to trace but, FYI, there's a mountain named 'Meru' in Tanzania, Africa. The Astaachal Mountain might be American Continent; but that needs further reasoning.
We will conclude the mini-series 'Sugreeve's Intelligence', next week, where some more astonishment awaits you, The Northern. Till then be curious, as that kindles the hunger, to know more.

The Pile
And not a spine cracked among them except for the Gelder and Salzman book on contemporary Australian fiction, After the Celebration (five down from the top on the left-hand side), on which there'll be a post here soon. (Click on photo to embiggen if you want a better look at those spines.)
22 comments:
Just finished The Slap. Wanted to Slap every single person in it (except for the old Greek man). Incredibly depressing book. Now reading Love in a Cold Climate as therapy to cheer myself up.
- February 5, 2009 at 1:48 PM
I love it when people post photos of their to read file! Thanks for sharing yours!
- February 5, 2009 at 2:25 PM
Am very keen to read that Gelder and Salzman. And all of the rest. I'm about to open Brigid Rooney's 'Literary Activists'. Looks like a good 'n as well.
I'm assuming you've read 'Capricornia' before!?
- February 5, 2009 at 2:46 PM
- Kerryn Goldsworthy said...
Klaus K -- indeed I have, but not for many years, and the impulse to buy it happened in two parts: (1) when I read Germaine Greer's incredibly silly and annoying critique of Australia I saw that she'd singled out for particular scorn the scene in the tank, which indicated to me that she'd never read Capricornia, and I was going to write a blog post about it but then realised I didn't have a copy of Capricornia in the house to quote from, and then (2) this nice reprint caught my eye on sale somewhere.
Serves you right for asking, eh??
- February 5, 2009 at 3:46 PM
Looking forward to the post on The Slap. And Deer Hunting. I couldn't say I enjoyed The Slap but I thought it mighty fine...

Please write a riposte to Germaine's incredibly annoying review. As much as I have adored her, what has she been thinking lately? I also think the review was more about her on-going argument with Marcia Langton than about the film.
I loved 'The Slap' btw. 'Love in a Cold Climate' is gorgeous.
- February 5, 2009 at 4:29 PM
"I also think the review was more about her on-going argument with Marcia Langton than about the film."
Agreed, although I didn't much care for Langton's review either. Maybe they should both leave film criticism alone for a bit?

mmm - I thought she had a few points, like the part about the film's celebration of booze culture, regardless of how great that hasn't been for Indigenous people. But I really didn't like the movie. What about the poor old cows, death marched across the desert and onto a cargo ship? Hooray for live animal exports.... It might have been kinder to let them all jump off the cliff when they had the chance.

I've read the Goldsworthy--I thought it was excellent.

A lovely pile, but too many. The Drewe Stories excellent - line for review (if that's what you're doing)- the lovely full release of Drewe's oeuvre by Penguin in 2001 appears to have now gone out of print, with the possible exception of Shark Net which is set in Victoria for VCE; Zookeeper's War - very nice but women don't behave that way - why does she fall in love with either of these men? - no clues offered. The Slap - my neighbour who read all the way through DEAD Europe because I gave it to him suggests (on reading The Slap) Tsiolkas doesn't need to portray sex quite so vividly, but then added wistfully - perhaps he gets a lot... coincidentally his child was at my place today, running his truck repeatedly into the heater. Gelder and Salzman could well do with a better reviewer than the one they got in the Melbourne AGE.
Only 40 here today. perhaps books will evaporate before you can get to them.

Ms Tartan -- yes, she did indeed have several good points and of course always does. But I thought she was being disingenuous or worse in judging the film by the criteria of things it was not, ie realism and, even less, documentary history. Bernice Balconey wrote a cracker of a post, one I agree with almost all of, defending its representation of race relations history as better than most of the other stuff we've had in this medium so far. But I really liked the movie for all sorts of reasons in spite of Our Nic so I am biased, I guess.
Misrule, for a giddy minute there I thought you meant me.
Tyaakian -- no, not for review -- God forbid. They are the books that are waiting to be read for pleasure, which is why none of their spines are cracked yet.
Re the Age review of PS and KG's book, it can only be found online by going through a long process of tracking it down via Google and then setting up credit with the Age online, because my last lot of credit has expired. I don't mind paying a couple of bucks to read it but I couldn't be bothered with all the mucking about -- will have another go in a minute. I was sorry to hear it was an unsatisfactory review though as I am a fan of James Ley's work; I think he's the best critic of fiction in the country, so I'm very curious to see what he's done with this.
Your interpretation of the word verification made me LOL. Rly.
- February 6, 2009 at 3:25 PM
Hughes' Idea of Home was an emotional read and times and showed me a way I could start on some "memoirs" - at least for my kids.
Capricornia I liked. Poor Fellow when I read it years ago was just bloody fantastic - I hadn't read any Australian stuff with such sweep and acceptable romantisation of the outback. I was sure Australia the movie was basically Poor Fellow the Movie.
I can seee why Drewe is good but I've never been a surfer or swimmer or beach person, unless in winter, and so along with Winton he tends to make me feel not quite a normal australian.
The Slap I read on holidays at the beach but I hasten to add inside either on the bed or on the floor in front of Oprah and Judge Judy or on the balcony with a beer and indonesion clove ciggie (they are healthy you see). It was indulgent as I read in the daytime - not something I usually do for some reason.
I enjoyed The Slap. I think its better in large chunks not a bit each night. I could see it as a tv mini series. Thats praise.
- February 6, 2009 at 7:43 PM
- Kerryn Goldsworthy said...
Fark, all of you have read more of these than me. FXH -- I read at least one of the Drewe stories when it was originally published in, I think, Meanjin, the one called 'The Aquarium at Night'. Strangely, it's not at all about water or the ocean except as a metaphor. I'd have to sit down and think about exactly why I thought it was so good -- it speaks to me partly because I did a bit of prison teaching and group stuff back when I was young and mad, so I know the environment and the atmosphere of this story a bit for myself. But it's a really, really good story.
- February 6, 2009 at 8:22 PM
- lucy tartan said...
One of the reasons Australia irritated me was that it was such an unoriginal, unacknowledging ripoff of Crocodile Dundee. I also blame this film for disillusioning me about Hugh Jackman. In his own way he's now just as plastic as Nicole. I don't know when or how that happened, but it's horribly sad.
- February 6, 2009 at 10:36 PM
- Kerryn Goldsworthy said...
Ah yes. That's not a torso -- this is a torso.
I mainly read it as a very deliberate ripoff of almost everything -- a great big sample-and-homage-fest, a movie about teh movies. (And teh books, and teh telly. The corresponding tank scene in Capricornia is awful beyond belief, and the cattle stampede reminded me of a cross between the Mowgli story about the killing of Shere Khan and an episode of Rin Tin Tin circa 1959 called 'The White Buffalo', which I would be willing to bet young Baz saw a repeat of at some point.) So I guess I just incorporated everything in the movie into that view.
- February 6, 2009 at 10:55 PM
I was going to say that when I tried to reread Poor Fellow a few years ago I found it much less engaging and Herbet's writing seemed to have deteriorated over the years. I skipped big bits and didn't finish it.
I still can't really makeup my mind about Australia -I think Our Nic went downhill after BMX Bandits and was just OK in Deep Calm. I've never thought her attractive or much of an actor. In the film Baz seemed obsessed with her arse and trying to make it look sexy - he failed.
At times it seemed like a casserole put together from leftovers and a few packet foods.

FXH, no surprises there. My friend D calls it Poor Fellow My Reader.

Makes me feel like I was looking at my own (depressingly) large pile of "as yet to read" books. I have read "The Slap" and "Suite Francaise" off yours. I think you need to mix it up a bit with something light and entertaining!
- February 9, 2009 at 10:45 AM
have you got Diana Athill's latest memoir on there? I can highly recommend it - I stayed up until two o'clock last night reading it.
- February 15, 2009 at 3:34 PM
- Lefty E said...
I also enjoyed the slap - though its hit and miss depending on how far Tsiolkas himself is from the character under scrutiny, IMHO. I frankly think the three chapters on the Greek-Australian males are masterpieces of contemporary Australian writing; and the other chapters weaker.

After falling off the horse in March, I've been slowly trying to get back on it. It hasn't been easy. My motivation just hasn't been there lately. I've been doing some biking and lifting, but very little running (I am INCREDIBLY far behind on my goal for 1k miles this year). I'm hoping I'm about to turn a corner, though. You see, the other day I witnessed a bunch of people who had just finished a race. They were proudly displaying their medals and talking with each other about their race, how fast they want, about that crazy lady in costume, etc. It reminded me of why I started running: for that sense of accomplishing something great. Starting with a 5k and working up to a marathon (twice!), I really felt proud each time I crossed the finish line.
Now, after NYC I was pretty much dead. I think because it was the first time I really set a goal and failed to achieve it by a wide margin. I had trained for a specific goal, I started out on a path to achieve it, and I completely fell apart a full nine miles before the finish line. That experience left me crushed. I phoned in my next race, and fully skipped the Go! St. Louis half marathon last weekend, opting for some fun instead.
But this morning I woke up, put on my shoes and ran. Sure, it was only three miles, but great things have begun with a shorter run than that. Tomorrow, I'll try and do it again. And the next day. I'm hoping that when Sunday evening rolls around, I'll have completed between 9 and 15 miles. I'll consider that an excellent start on my journey back.

Eating Locally
I was recently out with friends and was, once again, reminded that I have unusual eating habits. In my mind I eat normally, not out of defiance or to make a statement, but because I've figured out that eating fresh, real food aligns with my values. So, I was out with friends and it came up that I don't eat processed foods (much, of course I do on occasion) and a friend asked me what I eat. I wasn't sure how to answer. It was like we were speaking different languages. I said, "real, whole foods." She said, "like what?"
My three biggest passions in life are peacebuilding, health, and the environment. Food is directly linked to all of these things. There are strong local solutions to major global problems, food is one of them. We all need to eat and how we do so impacts the health of ourselves, our communities and our planet.
I know that I am in a privileged position that I have lots of options of what I can eat. I don't have to worry about how I'm going to pay for my food and I have a kitchen where I can prepare my food. I live a mile from a year round farmers' market and have a Whole Foods, Trader Joe's and other chain grocery stores, as well as a co-op all within a few minutes. I have transportation to get to those places. I am also single and have decided that paying for quality food is a priority. Having said that, without having actual numbers right here, I don't think I spend more on food now than before I made local food such a high priority.
Eating locally has many known benefits and lots of speculated benefits. Since eating locally as a movement is fairly new, research is still being done to examine the many potential benefits. I know that I feel better when I have control over what I eat. (This is partly due to having dietary restrictions which I may write about another time.) A lot of people have researched the economic, environmental and health benefits of local eating and have come up with differing answers (though this is often to due to differing interpretations of data and not necessarily conflicting data).
Keep in mind that local, organic, sustainable and natural are often used interchangeably but they are not all synonymous. I try to eat local, organic foods as much as possible and, as a result, those foods often come from more sustainable foods systems.
Here are some of my reasons for eating locally:
- Taste: fresher food tastes better. When vegetables go from farm to table in a day or two rather than a few weeks, they taste better.
- Health: my vegetables are organic and I know were they come from. I don't have to worry as much about outbreaks of bacteria or food-born illnesses when my food doesn't go through lots of processing centers.
- Health: my meat and dairy are not full of hormones and antibiotics. While the science isn't conclusive yet (mostly because these studies are recent and not enough time has passed to study long-term effects), I find it hard to believe that meat full of hormones is not having a harmful effect on us.
- Health: fresher produce is better for you. Produce that is ripe when it is picked and is eaten soon after is more nutritious.
- Economy: buying from local farmers supports the local economy. If you spend $5 on cauliflower, then $5 is going to the farmer.
- Community: people who shop at farmers' markets are more likely to be involved in other community activities. Farmers' markets are sometimes used an indicator of healthy communities and high standards of living.
- Environment: food that travels 50 miles to get to my table is significantly less carbon intensive than food that travels 1500+ miles.
- Environment: meat that is grown on smaller farms often travels a shorter distance to slaughter and is raised in a more sustainable way, meaning lower emissions.
Eating local food isn't always possible. But, when it is, I choose local. Sometimes it's February and I want berries and I buy them. Plus, I love avocados and bananas. I'm not an orthodox local eater, I simply choose to buy my food from local vendors as often as I can. I'm also not ignorant to the very real concerns with how to feed billions of people. Not everyone in the world has access to local food, but that can be a post for a different time.
Here a few basic articles/lists of why eating locally is a good idea:
- Is Local Food Better? by World Watch Institute
- Nifty inforgraphic from the farmersmarketcoalition.org
- The University of Vermont's ten reasons to eat local.
- Michigan State's seven reasons to eat local foods.
- Boosting Health with Local Food from the NY Times
- And info about a great book by Barbara Kingsolver.
- Local Food: Does It Matter What We Eat?

A competent, available labour force
The region has a skilled workforce thanks in particular to the local college. As part of its regular curriculum, the Collège d'enseignement général et professionnel (Cégep) de Sorel-Tracy offers the following technical programs:
A CEGEP-Industry liaison committee reviews the programs on a regular basis, making necessary adjustments in keeping with industry needs.
Furthermore, the Business Services (Continuing Education) leads technical assistance and technology transfer projects for businesses in the Lower Richelieu region.
Two vocational training and adult education centres also offer courses leading to a vocational diploma.
Finally, most of the workforce lives in the region--no less than 75% work locally.
Sorel-Tracy's workforce is specialized in industrial manufacturing. Of the 21,480 people in the labour force in the MRC de Pierre-De Saurel, 6,245 workers are in manufacturing, (29% of the total), compared with 17% for the province of Quebec.

Michael Parsons
Michael Parsons
Michael is the manager of flow cytometry core facilities at LTRI which are located at 25 Orde Street (rm. L4-420) and 600 University Avenue (rm. 980 ). The latter location has a focus on imaging cytometry whereas the Orde Street lab is geared around its cell sorting capabilities. Michael has had a real fascination with flow cytometry since 1990 joining Dr. Jim Woodgett's laboratory in 1995 his work has focused on getting the most out of this technology. Recognizing the need for a shared resource flow cytometry facility he moved over to establish and manage the LTRI Flow cytometry facility in 2010. What helps differentiate the LTRI flow cytometry facilities from others in Toronto is the amount of time spent working as scientific collaborators from experimental design on through analysis as opposed to acting solely as instrument providers.
Conventional flow cytometry allows the study of cells or particles in suspension as they flow through a "flow cell" while interrogated by various lasers of distinct wavelengths. Through the use of fluorescent dyes with specific properties or antibodies bound to a variety of fluorochromes targeted to either surface or intracellular proteins much information as to phenotype and cellular processes can be ascertained. Furthermore, since data is generated from large numbers of cells or particles robust sub-population hierarchy along with population statistics can be attained.
Flow cytometry is frequently employed in clinical analysis to help aid disease diagnosis and is particularly useful for evaluation of blood samples and hematological diseases such as leukemia's. Research flow cytometry tends towards higher complexity and capability. For this reason the team which includes Annie Bang acts as a repository of flow cytometry knowledge while training post-doctoral fellows and students on how to use the equipment and analyze data. One of the challenges is the demand for scientific collaborations are rising along with the number of users of the facility which is placing time greater demands on staff.
Michael sees machine learning (a form of artificial intelligence) as having great potential for flow analysis, particularly imaging flow as such algorithms are highly effective in pattern recognition within large data sets that often have high dimensionality. He and his collaborators continue to work on a form of machine learning known as "deep learning" in which algorithms are able to find structure within the data without first being exposed to the training sets used in traditional machine learning. This is an exciting avenue of research since it has the potential to uncover relationships previously unseen while increasing power and robustness during data analysis.

The TSA is busy telling folks whether or not they can bring things like mummified heads on airplanes. Meanwhile, people are 3D printing complete sets of their master keys.
The good news is that these are keys to luggage locks we're talking about. Most of them are little more than glorified paperclips and they're really only doing a job that a zip tie can do just as well: keeping the zippers on your luggage from coming apart and spilling the contents of your bags all over the place.
They weren't ever going to keep anyone who really wanted to from getting into your bags. Luggage locks can be easily dispatched with a pair of side cutters — or the zippers can, which renders the locks useless anyway.
Still, if you want a non-desctructive way to pop the locks, now you can 3D print a fully functional set of the TSA master keys. All but one of the keys had been made available previously, but this week the final one was "cracked" by a group of security experts. You can now grab all the files you need to create your own over on GitHub.
How did they pull it off? It all started last year when the Washington Post published a nice, clear photo of all seven keys. Enterprising DIY types who saw the image were naturally curious… and of course started drafting up and printing keys to see if they could successfully open TSA-approved locks. Which they did.
The seventh key required quite a bit more tinkering, but they ultimately figured it out by purchasing locks and analyzing their inner workings.
While this doesn't pose a security risk, it does beautifully illustrate just how stupid backdoors are… unless the TSA's master plan all along was for all of us to have a complete set of keys just in case we lost ours some day. In which case… we should probably thank them?
Love that security theater.

Cashmere Lace
One of the other crafts I like to do is knitting. In our family there were 4 females who knitted...and knitted and knitted. We never had any bought knitwear that I can remember. When our children were young they had very little bought knitwear but it is different now...kids want fleeces and so on.
This is knitted with cashmere....very, very fine and knit on needles suitable for double knitting yarn (is that worsted in the U.S.) so it took some getting used to knitting with thread-like yarn on big needles....the yarn is available in the U.K. from several spinners but I bought mine from www.yarnaddict.co.uk - Anni designs garments for the well known knitting magazines.

This is lovely - love the colour!ReplyDelete
This is so lovely, Joyce! It's such a pretty color, too.ReplyDelete
I'm also a knitter and right now I have 2 projects on needles and several others waiting to get started. Your beautiful shawl reminded me that I have one waiting to be knit with baby alpaca, which is sooo soft. I find knitting very relaxing and rewarding:) Probably due to the hot weather we're having, knitting has not been on my agenda for a little while.
This looks lovely Joyce, I can only imagine how soft it must feel - and as for the colour, beautiful!ReplyDelete

Stronghold Magic The Gathering Cards
Stronghold was the 21st Magic: The Gathering set and thirteenth expert
level set, and the second set in the Rath Block, released in March
1998. The block includes Tempest and Exodus. Stronghold contains 143
cards. Its expansion symbol is the closed portcullis of Volrath's
Stronghold was the last set in which multi-colored cards appeared until the 2000 expansion Invasion.
A prominent creature type in Stronghold are the Spikes. While first introduced in Tempest, Stronghold greatly expanded on this creature type that can make other creatures larger.
The En-Kor are creatures that can redirect damaged they suffer to other creatures, thus making them almost invulnerable to damage. These cards enabled a combination that led to infinite life, and were mainly used for this unpredicted feature.
Stronghold used many of the same mechanics as Tempest, including buyback, licids, and shadow.

Hiking the Bear Peak Trail is an incredible experience. I like to do it via the Mesa Trail and Bear Canyon Trail which makes the hike about 12 miles (20km) long while climbing up about 2,700 vertical feet in elevation from bottom to Peak. It takes me just over 4 hours moving at a steady pace to do the full circle.
The views are stunning, and after about an hour going up into Bear Canyon you really feel like civilization is far far away. This is what I love about this hike. You can walk for an hour and not pass a single person.
When you do Bear Peak, I recommend leaving in the morning so that you won't be out in the hot afternoon sun the entire hike. Take a lot of water with you.
I usually start the hike in South Boulder where Table Mesa Drive runs up to NCAR. You go up the NCAR trail you see in the picture below and past the NCAR building heading West. Or, you can take the Table Mesa Trail to Bear Canyon Trail around the South side of NCAR which runs into the Mesa Trail.
After passing NCAR, you make your way down to the Mesa Trail and Mallory Cave Trail junction and then head South (turn left).
Follow the Mesa Trail for a while, cross a stream, keep going up and around to the right until you get to the Bear Canyon Trail junction, also the start of Fern Canyon Trail.
From here, you have 2 route choices.
Go right and take the long way up to Bear Peak summit. 2-3 hours to the summit. It is a nice gradual incline until the final climb from the backside or West side which gets steep and strenuous the last 30 minutes. On a hot day it will slow you down quite a bit, and there isn't much shelter from the sun. All the trees in the area have been burnt from the fires 2 years ago. After the summit, you can go over the East side down the steep path. This will take you back to the junction.
Or, you can go left up the Fern Canyon Trail. This is the very steep route up to the top which is quicker, but gruelling. It is like doing steep stairs for well over an hour. On a hot day, the one benefit is that you are in the forested shade, so you can keep cool. Once you are at the peak, you can keep going over the backside via the Bear Canyon Trail if you feel like being out longer, or you can just turn around and go back the way you came.
I have done both routes, both directions, and it is always amazing.
Lets pretend we are going on Route 1. Below we see some nice looking cliffs at the start of Bear Canyon trail after the junction.
Check out these slabs of rock.
Soon, you will arrive at a creek which you cross over to the right. You will than go through a series of switchbacks up, and West.
Keep on going, and eventually you will cross a creek over a bridge. The path curves West for a bit, then you will hit a clearing and a flat ridge where you will see Bear Peak in the distance to the South.
Straight across you can see the halfway point up the steep front (East) side, and then the last half steep stretch up to the peak. This photo was taken about halfway to the peak via Bear Canyon Trail, and making my way to the West Ridge Trail.
Walking along Bear Peak West Ridge Trail towards the summit.
As you can see there was considerable damage to the forest here due to the fires of 2012.
This is the view to the North West.
Some beautiful mountain flowers.
Looking backwards along the West Ridge Trail of Bear Peak.
And finally, after about 2-3 hours this is the view atop the summit of Bear Peak looking backwards at the Bear Canyon Trail and the side of Green Mountain all walked along to get to this point.
The view South towards Denver.
There's a happy dog. Cisco could do this hike many times over.
Another view from the summit looking straight North towards the city of Boulder far below.
On the way down spotted some nice sun on rocks with cool shadows.
And a nice red rock.
After about an hour down the steep East side, and back out the way in, here we are at Table Mesa Trail just South of NCAR.
So, there you have it…a tour around Bear Peak in Boulder Colorado. This is what you can see. Go for it!

Ruta Nacional Nº 12 Km. 1640, Puerto Iguazú (3370), Misiones
There is more to an Iguazu (or Iguassu) vacation than visiting the impressive falls. At the Iguazú Grand Resort Spa & Casino guests can experience it all. The hotel offers luxurious accommodations along with a well–regarded spa, casino, shows, and easy access to the falls, indigenous villages, and the missions. Although it doesn't look out at the falls themselves, this is the most refined operation in the area.
Arriving via VIP pickup or by taxi and entering the palatial pillared Carrara marble lobby is to enter a world of luxury inside a region of mass tourism. Iguazu Falls is the major draw, but there is more to experience for guests who stay at the Iguazú Grand Resort, including a spa and casino.
After spending a day at Iguazu Falls, return to the Grand Hotel's Paradise Spa for one of their therapies based on chocolate, known as "Gods' food." Select one of the treatments using only natural products or relax with a private yoga session. Besides the Paradise Spa, the hotel offers a variety of on–site activities including three swimming pools in a beautiful garden setting with waterfalls. Artworks from local artists are displayed throughout the hotel.
All meals can be served en suite, but dining at the hotel's El Jardin restaurant offers first–class service and an international menu with many items grown in the hotel's organic vegetable garden. Unfortunately, many guests find the cuisine uninspiring and opt to head to town instead. The poolside Argentine BBQ is a better bet when offered.
There are gardens to stroll, three illuminated clay tennis courts with instruction available, and the hotel's 18–hole par 72 golf course is only 10 minutes away. There are even nightly tango lessons for anyone who didn't get a spin in Buenos Aires.
Every accommodation exhibits plush elegance and guests are universally surprised by how large even the lowest–level rooms are. Still, an upgrade to one of the multi–room accommodations doesn't require a lot of extra pesos and the five–room Presidential Suite is the best Iguazu has to offer. Beside a traditional welcome cocktail, expect fresh flowers, fruit, and wine to be waiting in whichever room you choose, along with the traditional bathrobes and slippers.
Connected to the hotel by an elegant Greco–Roman rotunda with a fountain is the casino and theater. Before heading to the casino with its complete complement of gaming tables and slot machine plus a VIP room, take in one of the nightly shows. The hotel has its own musical group that offers a variety of spectacles and entertainment, including a weekly folkloric and tango show in a cabaret setting.
To help guests enjoy all that the Iguazu area has to offer, the Grand Hotel staff will organize two–country trips to Iguazu Falls: evening boat rides to where Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina meet. This trip includes a stop at a beach in Paraguay to watch a Guarani folkloric show; eco–tourism adventures that include bird watching, trekking and canopy tours; adventurous days of repelling and bicycling; and cultural trips to Jesuit Missions and indigenous villages.
While this hotel can't match the striking falls view available from the Melia, it also doesn't see the huge crowds that one does and this member of the Leading Hotels of the World is a superior choice in most other respects.

After the fall, God cursed Satan, man, woman and the Earth. We can read this account in Genesis 3. The curse was so terrible that the whole perspective of man changed. Adam's fall brought death to all mankind.
Before the fall, Adam was perfect. He had free will, was able to live forever because he was eating of the tree of life, and communed with God. God would come to talk, and instruct him in the Garden. Adam was free. He had the ability to make decisions in his state of innocence, before he acquired the knowledge of good and evil.
Then, God placed Satan, the deceiver, in the Garden. There was only one thing that Adam didn't have: The knowledge of good and evil. It is what Satan used to entice the woman, "You shall not die; you shall be like God knowing good and evil."
Unfortunately, it was a lie. Satan was a lier from the beginning. Christ testified of him in John 8:44, "When he (Satan) speaks a lie, he speaks of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it."
The reality was that the same very day, Adam and Eve died spiritually and became slaves of Satan. They did not become like God; they learned good and evil, yes, but became unable to choose God's way of good. They created their own standard of good and evil, because now they were sinners and the power of Satan was over them. Now they would die, not only physically, but also spiritually, and their souls would suffer eternal torment in Hades.
God gives an account of the fall of man in Ezekiel 28:1-19. Many think that God is talking about Satan, but there is no evidence of that. Satan is not a man, and there is no account in the Bible about Satan ever being a good creature. "He is a murderer from the beginning", said Christ.
Pride was the fall of man. He had the opportunity to choose right, to choose God, but Adam decided to believe the lie of Satan because he "desired to be like God." His heart got filled with pride and lust; he believed Satan's lie as he contemplated the forbidden fruit and thought, "it was desirable to make one wise". Yes, he became "wise in his own eyes", but he did not attain to the Wisdom of the Living God.
He "was perfect in (his) ways from the day that he was created, till iniquity was found in (him)". Eze. 28:15
As a result of the fall, man became spiritually dead, a slave of sin and subject to physical and eternal death. (Rom. 3:9-18) That's why Christ came: to destroy the work of the devil and rescue His people.

Richard Melville Hall (born September 11, 1965), better known by his stage name Moby, is an American musician, DJ, and photographer. He is known mainly for his sample-based electronic music and his outspoken liberal political views, including his support of veganism and animal rights.
He made two duets with the French singer Mylène Farmer ("Slipping Away (Crier la vie)" in 2006 and "Looking for My Name" in 2008). He also produced seven songs for her 8th album, Bleu Noir, published on December 6, 2010

Very silent about his private life, she nevertheless succeed in gathering considerable crowd in all her concerts in France, making her one of the most wealthy pop star in her country.
Mylène Farmer made several duets, in addition to this one with Moby, she did "Les Mots" with the british singer Seal.
THE SONG "SLIPPING AWAY" in A GAY THEMED CLIP
The video illustrates the song Slipping Away, with gay couple and young male models, some pictures of them are posted hereafter.
All that we needed, was right
Les ombres ce soir nous menacent
Open to everything happy and sad
Seeing the good, meme si tout va si mal
Voir le soleil quand la nuit nous accable
Oh, pour un jour croire aux dieux, croire aux fables
Focus on everything better today
Crier la vie quand tout autour se tait
Hold on to people they're slipping away
Hold on to this while it's slipping away
All that we needed, tonight
Are people who love us, and life
Je sais les douleurs et les doutes
Oh, partir est ce qu'on redoute
Oh si..
So long
Mais l'ombre…

The MountainWest Capital Network released the Utah 100 Fastest Growing Companies list this last Tuesday, and eLearning Brothers made the cut! This year, rankings were based on revenue growth from 2010-2014, and we were honored to rank at number 7!
According to the MWCN, "The 100 fastest growing companies in Utah are selected from thousands of eligible applicants solicited throughout the State. They represent a broad cross-section from almost all industries in Utah, including information technology, biomedical and bio-technical, healthcare, retail, construction, and financial services."
We feel really privileged to be among these 100 companies in Utah, and we have all of you to thank for it! Without the support of the amazing eLearning community, we wouldn't have been able to accomplish this. You all are our rock stars!
So, from all of the team here at eLearning Brothers, thank you for your support! Here's to hoping that 2016 is just as an amazing year as 2015 has been!


text: The Catholic Schools Office recognises the critical importance of the early years (generally regarded as 0-8 years of age). Parents considering a Catholic education for their child should be aware that a solid foundation for learning in the future is laid in these years. Learning in the early years (K-2) should be inspiring and allow children opportunities to inquire, imagine and create. These are years of wonder and delight. All schools in the Diocese of Lismore use the Best Start program as a means to gauge the learning needs of incoming Kindergarten students. Best Start is a program that provides parents and teachers with a solid understanding of just where the child's learning should start. Additionally, we use the Literacy and Numeracy continuums from the Department of Education and Communities as a way to progress students.

In early 2012, I was contacted by an English guy named Robert Michael Kay. He had just finished a song by the name of "Someone I Can Be Alone With". He asked me for feedback and I gave it to him. But that, by far would not be the end of our professional music relationship. I began to fall in love w/ his track list as I listened to his other songs. And I am fortunate to share mister PHOENIX IMAGO with all of you right now.
Individuality is a rare attribute to place on most mainstream musicians these days but that is one of the words that stands out when I think of Phoenix Imago. Along with being a vocalist, he is also a skilled composer; creating the entire blocking for his music including, but not limited to, piano, guitar, drums and harmonica to name a few. I can also say, he is one of, if not the most skilled songwriter I have had the pleasure of affiliating myself with. The expressive nature that he pours into his songwriting is reminiscent of poetry from the transcendentalist period. It invokes images and takes u to the place that he musically describes which is a rare ability.
He did a demo a while back called "Last Human" which is my favorite and I listen to it frequently. It described the relationship between people and the earth. I was very moved. Then he released his debut album RESPECT in 2013 and, upon hearing it, I knew and still believe that one day he will be heralded as one of the best musicians of all time. His song "Someone I Can Be Alone With" starts it off followed by the melodic "Have I Told You Today" and the brilliantly mellow title track "Respect" CHECK IT OUT.
He has given me the opportunity to write one of his many websites THE FREE MUSICIAN, at which I spoke on the trials and triumphs of being a musician who must also hold down a nine-to-five. He and I share a lot of the same attributes of being an independent musician. We are currently in collaboration for a song we is writing for me to vocally execute and I hope I can do it justice. He get so much of my RESPECT and I hope his music brings you as much enjoyment as it has done for me. THX PHOENIX IMAGO, we need more musicians and people like you to make this world better.

"A newlywed couple are passing through a vacation resort. Their paths cross with a mysterious, strikingly beautiful countess and her aide."
I was tempted to embed the full movie from YouTube above as that was where I lazily rewatched "Daughters of Darkness" rather than pulling out my DVD, but I don't expect it will around much longer. "Daughters of Darkness" might be quite an unknown film to a lot of people, but it's most certainly not in the public domain. It's not even that expensive as a 2-disc special edition to justify the piracy of the Blue Underground release.
I'm not really going to go into a lot of detail about "Daughters of Darkness" because I think it's one of those movies which you are better off not knowing too much about before you watch it. There isn't much of a story to retell anyway as "Daughters of Darkness" is more about its aesthetic appeal and the way the characters interact than anything else.
Directed by Harry Kümel, "Daughters of Darkness" is a visually stunning yet languid and almost arthouse piece of European erotica. It is also a horror movie, of course, but the horror is more in the background until the end. The focus throughout is really on the extremely dysfunctional, sadomasochistic relationship between Stefan (John Karlen) and his newlywed bride Valerie (Danielle Ouimet).
Not to put too fine a point on it, Stefan has a little bit of a secret which is one of those things which causes hours of debate for movie buffs, but with Countess Bathory (Delphine Seyrig) turning up, he's not the only one who isn't what he seems.
Many reviewers fuss over how much Delphine Seyrig looks like Marlene Dietrich, but apart from the rather uncomfortable looking hairstyle, there are few similarities between the two. At times, good lighting makes Delphine Seyrig looks extremely beautiful which, coupled with her smoky voice, makes her quite sexy. Occasionally, with more shade, she really looks her age and isn't so hot at all, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
The same thing happens with everybody in the film. There are times when even John Karlen (formerly of "Dark Shadows" and later to be Harvey in "Cagney and Lacey") looks attractive, and other moments where he looks quite old and tired. His acting is mostly sub-par, and the way he mispronounces "Ostende" as "Ostand" is jarring, but when he's being bad, he's kind of great. His naked buttocks will probably still haunt you forever though.
Danielle Ouimet is anything but plain with her long, blonde hair and model figure yet, unless you are really into Abba, she may be an acquired taste. With a great deal of nudity in "Daughters of Darkness", you have to be grateful that most of it is due to her.
Personally, I think Ilona (Andrea Rau) is the sexiest of all of them. Her bobbed haircut may not be the most flattering as it makes her look like a goth version of Louise Brooks, but she exudes hotness. In case you are wondering, yes, she does indeed like to get naked a lot too.
Unsurprisingly, Delphine Seyrig keeps her clothes well and truly on. Trust me on this though, she still contributes an insane amount of eroticism with only her hands and long, red fingernails.
When I first saw "Daughters of Darkness" back in the early '80s, I was just the right age to appreciate the women and not understand any of the deeper psychosexual disorders which were being played out. Today, if I wanted to be cynical, I could just write most of the story off as a load of bed-hopping by deluded bisexuals, and simply note how the various seductions were parodied to some extent by "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" a few years later.
As far as vampire movies go, "Daughters of Darkness" is a lot more adult and intellectually appealing than many others from the same era. How much of that is accident and how much is design is hard to tell especially when you listen to the director's commentary. Having heard Harry Kümel being rather dismissive of his creation, I still think that "Daughters of Darkness" is a slightly flawed masterpiece.
I highly recommend that you watch "Daughters of Darkness" for yourself and make up your own mind about it.

Addiction Causes
Substance Use Disorder (SUD) or addiction is a brain disease characterized by the inability of the individual to stop using a substance. When choice is no longer an option we are dealing with a SUD. But what are drug addiction causes?
Addiction Effects
The effects of addiction are far reaching and can be seen in the home, on the job, in churches and in schools. If left unchecked, the drug is going to win. Abuse is a disease of the brain, and the drugs change brain.
Addiction Symptoms
Addiction is progressive and most of the time treatment is required to end the addiction. When we drink, we enjoy the flavor of the drink, the relaxing feeling we get when we drink it and often have a drink in a social setting with friends.
Addiction Facts
"Marijuana is not
harmful or addictive" is often stated by those who use it regularly.
Research, shows that in fact marijuana is addictive and in fact is
causing one of the highest incidence of addiction in the US.
Addiction Intervention
If you are a
friend or a family member of someone who is addicted, you're probably
wondering what you can do to help. Sometimes an intervention can help
the addict to break their denial to begin treatment.
Addiction Stories
In meeting and working with addiction recovery patients over the years we have found that one of the most important aspects of their recovery is having the opportunity to share their stories and their life experience.
Addiction TreatmentDrug programs are as varied as the people who become addicted. Young and old, white and black, male and female, no one can avoid addiction. We won't endorse a treatment, we will try to give you an introduction on the topic.
Are you addicted?
Take our short assessment and find out.
Drug addiction, left untreated, becomes a disease of the soul. We have "lost control" and substance abuse has taken control of our lives. How can you explain the change in behavior that takes a bright, well-educated, ambitious, engaging person and transforms them into a heartless, self-centered liar that steals from his/her own family, abandons their spouse and children, and willfully chooses the road to death rather than a happy and fulfilling life?
Addiction poisons the very soul of a person and turns them into an unreasoning animal. Because addiction is a spiritual disease, if you are going to be healed, your soul must be healed. You can try to overcome drug addiction on your own, like pulling yourself up by your own bootstraps, and some people might be able to do it, but most can't. Healing our soul is offered as a gift from a "power greater than ourselves".
People in recovery from alcoholism and drug addiction will tell you that one drink, or one hit is too many and a whole ocean-full isn't enough. Drug addiction does not have to be the winner, but addicts need the tools to access strength and support. You have to be honest with yourself and realistic about the problem. Addicts must realize that they can't use drugs and they can't take a drink because the consequences are serious at a minimum, and too often deadly. But there always is hope for those willing to seek it!
and Finally Remember:
"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened."
- Matthew 7:7-8

How much do musicians make in a digital marketplace?
I just can't keep quiet about this any longer. InformationIsBeautiful.net has created the most lovely, elegant infographic depicting how much music artists earn online. Seriously, take a look at it. It really shows you how the type of format impacts a musician's profits. It also proves that album sales are most profitable for an artist, and that music streaming services are bad for business for an artist.
The formats that provide royalties, in order from baddest to bestest (I know, not a real word) for a musician: stream on Spotify, stream on Last.fm, stream on Rhapsody, track download on Amazon or iTunes, retail album CD (low end royalty deal), MP3 download (via iTunes) on CD Baby, MP3 download on CD Baby, album download on Napster or iTunes, retail album CD (high end royalty deal), CD album on CD Baby, self-pressed CD.
Is your head spinning? Yeah, mine too. But no matter, I've had time to turn my thinking wheels in the right direction and dream up a few major conclusions (thanks again, David McCandless, London-based author, writer and designer, for the infographic!). You'll notice a theme to my deductions: the best choice to make as a consumer if you're keen on playing nice with the musician (why? because I'm one of those people who think supporting the artist should be a factor when making a purchase).
1) If you really want to support your favorite musician, purchase the CD album.
2) If you're going to purchase a download, album download > track download.
3) If you subscribe to a music streaming service, that's not very helpful.
Please leave a comment below if you have an additional conclusion you'd like to share!
