After reading the May 19 article in regard to the contract renewal of Ashland High School guidance counselor Penny Hamilton, I am absolutely flabbergasted.
I think this school board needs to hire a human resource consultant to provide them with some basic training if they wish to directly oversee the hiring process of school personnel -- a task for the superintendent.
My recollection is that Sue Timmons, who was quoted in the article, was elected for her desire to represent the average working person. Nobody would like to have a person in power at their place of work who says, "well, I know you've been doing a good job and you've been recommended by your supervisor, but we're interested in seeing who else is out there. We're posting your job and you're going to have to interview again. Good luck!"
Discrimination suits are made from this kind of behavior.
Hamilton has admirably performed her duties at AHS for 37 years. It appears this school board wants to end her career by forcing the district to incur a new round of legal expenses. We just got over a year of controversy and here we go again. If board members are not trained in human resources, they need to let the superintendent, who is trained, do his job.

Why no cheering at AHS honors ceremony?
Gone are the days where parents are permitted to cheer for their children at a school function.
Last night my family and I attended an honor awards ceremony at Ashland High School.
My son is a 10th-grader who was being rewarded for maintaining a 3.0 GPA.
When it came time for the students to receive their awards, audience members were asked to withhold their applause.
I was flabbergasted by this request. How in the world are parents, grandparents or siblings supposed to withhold their applause for such a wonderful accomplishment?
I was raised that when a child portrays positive behavior, one should reward them or celebrate this behavior, to encourage the behavior to continue. Yet AHS administration requested the crowd forego this opportunity for rewarding the student's positive behavior.
I believe our school system has taken crowd control a bit too seriously. Why is it that when a child or a group of children portray signs of negative behavior, we as a society are asked to speak up, yet when a group of young men and women portray signs of positive behavior, we are asked to remain quiet?
For some of those students, this may have been a first-time award, a chance for that student to enjoy the spotlight. For some of the parents in the crowd, this may have been a first time for enjoying their child's accomplishment.
In having to respect the school administration's request, some of those students were not permitted to enjoy their own personal spotlight and some of the parents were not allowed to take personal joy in recognizing their children.
I am proud to say that my family was among some of the others in the crowd who did not follow the request of withholding our applause, for we have worked way too hard in supporting our child in his wonderful achievements to remain quiet.
So as I write this, I am screaming at the top of my lungs, "To all of you students who made it to the Honor Society of Ashland High School, CONGRATULATIONS!"

The Basics of Low Hormone Birth Control
For many women, birth control is a fact of life. Regardless of their preferred contraception method, women use birth control as an essential element of their health and family planning. Pharmaceutical birth control methods typically rely on one of two distinct combination of hormone supplements. The combination birth control pill utilizes both estrogen and progestin, while the minipill relies exclusively on progestin. For women who wish to reduce their exposure to the hormone supplements found in birth control pills, low hormone birth control provides the safety and security of standard pharmaceutical contraceptives with significantly less chemical interaction.
How Do Conventional Birth Control Pills Work?
Birth control pills rely on one of two different contraception techniques, depending upon the specific hormones found within the product. Combination birth control pills prevent pregnancy by repressing ovulation as well as by thickening cervical mucus and the lining of the uterus, preventing sperm from reaching an egg. The minipill, a progestin-only approach to birth control, thickens cervical mucus and significantly thins the lining of the endometrium. Minipill dosages have also been observed to prevent ovulation, although this is by no means an established, predictable result of usage. Minipills typically contain lower hormone levels than combination pills, as they do not rely on estrogen to prevent impregnation.
How Do Low Hormone Birth Control Pills Work?
Unlike standard combination or minipill birth control products, low hormone birth control pills contain significantly reduced levels of estrogen, ranging from 0.03mg in low-dose pills to 0.02mg in ultra low-dose pills. Studies have shown that both low-dose and ultra low-dose pills provide the necessary levels of estrogen to ensure contraception. Low-dose pills typically create fewer adverse side effects in users. Ultra low-dose pills, while still protecting against pregnancy, may still induce monthly bleeding and spotting in users. These side effects are not an indication of contraception failure, however.
How Do I Know If Low Hormone Birth Control Pills Are Right For Me?
If you have experienced unpleasant side effects from combination or minipill birth control pills, low-dose birth control pills may be a suitable replacement for your contraception needs. That being said, your optimal birth control method can only be determined by your doctor. Depending on your existing physiological conditions, you may be compatible with these contraceptive products. Common brands of reduced hormone pills include:
– LoOvral (0.03 mg ethinyl estradiol – 0.3 mg norgestrel)
– Desogen (0.03 mg ethinyl estradiol and 0.15 mg desogestrel)
– Nordette (0.03 mg ethinyl estradiol and 0.15 mg levognorgestrel)
What Are The Advantages of Low Hormone Birth Control Pills?
Many women choose low hormone birth control pills in order to reduce the amount of estrogen entering their body through artificial means. As significant increases in estrogen have been linked to a variety of hazardous health conditions, such as breast cancer, low hormone birth control pills can help to ensure reliable contraception without these potentially life-threatening side effects. Low hormone birth control pills can also help women who suffer from painful or unnaturally large periods. Studies have also linked these contraceptive products with reduced levels of acne, improved skin health and diminished side effects for women during menopause.
In A Nutshell: Low hormone birth control pills are an excellent contraception method for women who may suffer from uncomfortable side effects of standard combination or minipill birth control pills. Additionally, the lower doses of estrogen found in these pills can provide increased peace of mind for women weary of increasing their body's natural estrogen levels. As always, consulting your personal doctor can help you determine if these birth control pills are compatible with your own unique physiology.

CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - May 14, 2014) -
Madison Capital Corporation ("Madison") (TSX VENTURE:MDC.P) is pleased to announce that the resolutions put to shareholders of Madison ("Madison Shareholders") to authorize the continuation of Madison from the Province of Alberta into the federal jurisdiction of Canada, to repeal By-Law Number 1 and adopt Canada Business Corporation Act ("CBCA") compliant by-laws, and to approve the plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement") under the provisions of Section 192 of the CBCA, involving Madison, the Madison Shareholders, Radient Technologies Inc. ("Radient") and the shareholders of Radient ("Radient Shareholders"), at the special meeting held on May 14, 2014, were duly passed.
Madison is also pleased to announce that the special resolutions put to Radient Shareholders to amend the Articles of Radient to create an unlimited number of a new class of shares to be designated "Special Shares" and to approve the Arrangement, at the annual and special meeting held on May 14, 2014, were duly passed.
The Arrangement will constitute the qualifying transaction (the "Qualifying Transaction") of Madison in accordance with the requirements of the TSX Venture Exchange Inc. (the "TSX Venture") Policy 2.4 - Capital Pool Companies. The Arrangement is described in further detail in the press releases of Madison dated November 21, 2013 and April 8, 2014, in the management information circular Madison dated April 15, 2014, and in the arrangement agreement (the "Arrangement Agreement") entered into between Madison and Radient dated April 7, 2014, all of which are available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
The Arrangement is subject to the approval of the TSX Venture and all other necessary regulatory and court approvals. The completion of the Arrangement is also subject to additional conditions precedent as set forth in the Arrangement Agreement, including but not limited to: (a) the completion of a transfer within escrow (the "Escrow Transfer") of an aggregate of 1,050,000 common shares in the capital of Madison at a price of $0.06 per share from current founding shareholders of Madison to certain insiders of Radient; and (b) the completion by Radient of a brokered private placement (the "Minimum Radient Private Placement") of a minimum of 4,000,000 subscription receipts of Radient at a price of $1.00 per subscription receipt for minimum gross proceeds of $4,000,000.
About Radient
Radient develops, markets, and provides microwave-assisted natural product extraction, purification and isolation methods, using microwave assisted processing ("MAP™"), a patented extraction platform, along with proprietary know-how in the critical downstream processing areas of purification and isolation. MAP™ is Radient's core technology, which typically yields superior extraction, purification and isolation results than conventional extraction processes.
Radient's technology has application in a number of industries and it has customers that are global market leaders in each of the pharmaceutical, food, beverage, natural health, active care and bio-fuel markets. Radient has demonstrated to its customers that its MAP™ technology works with numerous types of biomasses such as plants, micro-algae and fungi.
Radient works with customers to develop more efficient and effective extraction, isolation and purification methods for their high-value targeted ingredients extracted from natural biomasses using Radient's MAP™ technology. There are generally three stages of engagement with each new customer. The first stage is typically conduct of a feasibility study to apply the MAP™ technology to a selected biomass within the laboratory environment in order to identify its effectiveness on a selected biomass and to determine if any value-added benefits exist. Such benefits can include higher yields (more of a targeted ingredient can be extracted), better recoveries (higher purity ratios), faster processing time and reduced solvent and energy usage (being more cost effective). The second stage involves progression to using the MAP™ technology on the selected biomass on a larger scale within a pilot plant environment. The third and final stage is commercialization, which may result in Radient processing biomass and supplying targeted ingredients to a customer, or a customer licensing Radient's MAP™ technology and processing biomass on its own.
Radient has begun operating its 20,000 square foot manufacturing plant in Edmonton, Alberta. This manufacturing plant will contain a pilot plant, relocated from Radient's previous facility in Whitby, Ontario, and a commercial scale plant with capacity to process up to five (5) tonnes of biomass per day. The building and premises are owned by 1631807 Alberta Ltd., of which Radient is a 50% shareholder. The manufacturing plant will allow Radient to process biomass on a full commercial scale, and is an integral step in Radient's commercialization strategy of the MAP™ technology.
Radient's MAP™ technology was initially developed at Environment Canada, and the Government of Canada filed three (3) patents in connection with it. Radient initially licensed these patents on an exclusive basis, and subsequently purchased them from the Government of Canada. Radient continues to develop and file patents for additional intellectual property developed in connection with its MAP™ technology.
As indicated above, completion of the Arrangement is subject to a number of conditions, including but not limited to, completion of the Escrow Transfer, completion of the Minimum Radient Private Placement, and TSX Venture approval. There can be no assurance that the Arrangement will be completed as proposed or at all.
Investors are cautioned that, except as disclosed in the information circular of Madison prepared in connection with the Arrangement, any information released or received with respect to the Arrangement may not be accurate or complete and should not be relied upon. Trading in the securities of Madison or Radient should be considered highly speculative.
The TSX Venture has in no way passed upon the merits of the Arrangement and has neither approved nor disapproved the contents of this press release. Neither TSX Venture nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this press release.
This press release contains forward-looking statements. More particularly, this press release contains statements concerning: the completion of the Escrow Transfer, the completion of the Minimum Radient Private Placement, the receipt of TSX Venture approval, and the completion of the Arrangement. The forward-looking statements are based on certain key expectations and assumptions made by Madison and Radient, including the timing of completion of the Minimum Radient Private Placement, the timing of receipt of required TSX Venture approval and the satisfaction of other conditions to the completion of the Arrangement as set forth in the Arrangement Agreement.
Although Madison and Radient believe that the expectations and assumptions on which the forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on the forward-looking statements because no assurance can be provided that they will prove to be correct. Since forward-looking statements address future events and conditions, by their very nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those currently anticipated due to a number of factors and risks. These include, but are not limited to, risks that the Escrow Transfer is not completed, the Minimum Radient Private Placement is not completed, the required TSX Venture approval is not obtained on terms satisfactory to the parties or at all, and risks that other conditions to the completion of the Arrangement are not satisfied on the timelines set forth in the Arrangement Agreement or at all.
The forward-looking statements contained in this press release are made as of the date hereof and neither Madison nor Radient undertake any obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements or information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, unless so required by applicable securities laws.
This press release does not constitute an offer for sale of securities in the United States.

|Recovery Time
This DynastyMattress Therapeutic 12-Inch w/5″ Memory Foam Mattress is a full sized memory foam mattress that is not only well made, but rather affordable compared to others like it. It's made with 100% high density elastic memory foam with anti mite, anti dust, and anti allergen properties. It contours to your body, providing support and comfort where needed most. Many users have stated sleeping on this mattress has helped improved aches and pains that were once accelerated by sleeping on a traditional mattress. This review will cover multiple aspects of this mattress, and will rate each on a scale of 1 to 5, allowing readers to make a better informed decision before choosing a mattress to buy.
The firmness of this mattress is rated at medium firm, meaning that it's not the softest mattress but isn't the most firm either. This mattress is often softer to those who sleep on their sides and feels more firm to those who sleep on their backs. Because of this, not all sleepers will enjoy this mattress, though those who generally prefer their mattress to be slightly firmer will enjoy this mattress much more than those who really like to sink into their mattress. This mattress also holds weight extremely well, making it comfortable for all sizes and shapes to sleep on. Because the mattress is medium firm, one should not expect to sink into the mattress more than 2 inches at most, but should expect to be comfortable and have their body to be cradled and supported where it's supposed to.
Recovery Time
The recovery time of this mattress is on par with others of it's kind and in it's price range. This mattress has no issues with recovery time for the first few months to years, but after a few years some users have found that this mattress had begin to "lose it's memory." Because of this, the recovery time isn't as stellar as it could be but isn't necessarily awful either. It should be noted that this mattress does handle weight well, and does have a good recovery time score for the mattress's price range and make. A score of 4 isn't a terrible score for a bed like this, though there is room for some improvement.
Durability is often a "make it or break it" aspect of buying a product, especially an important product like a mattress. This is to be expected, as people want to get the quality they pay for. This mattress seems to do fairly well in terms of durability. Some users have had some minor issues with the bed after long periods of use, though many have not. This mattress seems to hold up fairly well for how much you pay for it and how it's made. Considering this, the mattress should still give a minimum of 1-3 years of use before even the most minor issues begin to arise, which for the price is a good amount of time.
Warranty Information
The warranty information for this mattress is exceptionally easy to find, and is posted right under the description in it's Amazon sales page. Not only is the warranty information easy to find, but the warranty is a standard/good warranty for a mattress of this type. This mattress comes with a 120 day in home trial and 20 year warranty, which is a very generous warranty considering other warranties of similar mattresses.
This mattress is a decent mattress for the asking price, which is a pure fraction of what other memory foam mattresses cost. It seems to be decently made, and seems to hold up pretty well for a reasonable amount of time. This mattress also seems to be comfortable, as long as the user likes added firmness to their mattress. Not only is the mattress itself pretty on par with others like it, it has a very good warranty that comes along with it, adding some peace of mind to the purchase. For the price one would pay for this mattress, it is likely that they will indeed get their money's worth. While some issues with the mattress have been reported, no major issues have and overall, this mattress seems like a pretty decent buy for the money, even if some areas could use some minor improvements. This is a memory foam mattress that should be considered for those looking for a decent mattress at a decent price.

Care Tips for your Irish Smoked Salmon
On Receiving your Smoked Salmon
Open the presentation box and examine the vacuum packed pouch – check to see that it is air tight and sealed completely. Once you are satisfied of the condition of the smoked salmon place in a refrigerator at a temperature between 0 and 4 degrees. The smoked salmon will last for 30 days in your fridge, however if it is not immediately being used we recommend freezing it.
Storing Clarke's Salmon
Once the pack is open, Clarke's smoked salmon will keep in good condition for up to seven days in a refrigerator. Re-wrap the salmon very well in either the original pack, in foil or in a polythene food bag to prevent it from drying out. Always heed the best before label – and never consume the smoked salmon once this date has expired.
Smoked Salmon & Preservatives
Salt and smoke are the only preservatives used in Clarke's smoked salmon. After salting, the salmon is allowed dry. During this drying process a pellicle forms on the salmon skin. It is this pellicle that holds the key to Clarke's great tasting smoked salmon. Why? It is a good surface for the smoke flavour to stick during the smoking process and it seals in remaining moisture. Importantly, it prevents fats in the salmon rising to the surface and spoiling. This is the reason why smoked salmon can last for such a prolonged period of time.
Slicing Clarke's Salmon
If necessary loosen the skin along the edges and use a sharp knife to trim off the fins and fatty tissue – this will ensure easier slicing. Remove the pin bones using a tweezers. Slice the flesh horizontally in paper thin pieces working from head to tail.
Serving Clarke's Salmon
To get the full benefit of the rich full flavour of Clarke's oak smoked salmon, serve slightly chilled but not too cold. Allow 55-75g per person.

Gallery Pick
By Cate McQuaid, Boston GlobeMarch 17, 2005
Many of Dmitri Cavander's paintings at MPG Contemporary portray nothing special: A truck parked under a bridge, a dumpster on a dock, a rest stop. But the simplicity of his forms, and the contrast of shadow with light that's as sweet and potent as nectar, lend these basic scenes a distinctive import. Cavander is a realist who excels at revealing the magical in the mundane with a facile thick brush, thick paint, and a warm color scheme. In Fall on Line Street he chooses not to articulate the leaves on autumn trees, instead painting great fans of yellow and amber, seeming to catch the sunlight like baseball mitts. Cold January Drive shows the curve of a highway at dusk: brake lights and lane markers mete out a patient rhythm in the shadow of fir trees, beneath a shimmering peach sky. In all of these painting, the contrast of light and dark tones create a brew intended to make you stop, look, and feel.

The Santa Cruz Hightower LT C S Reserve 29er Mountain Bike 2019 a thorough-bred racer, proven on the biggest stages, complete with Reserve Carbon wheels.
The Santa Cruz Hightower LT has been designed for maximum speed in big terrain. It's truly race-bred, built to meet the demands of racing at Andes Pacifico, Crankworx, and EWS stages.
The Hightower roared onto the scene in 2016, capturing the attention of everyone looking for the speed that big wheels deliver in big terrain. But there was always an inkling that the Hightower had more to offer, the stock travel wasn't quite enough to hit rougher tracks flat out. Enter the Santa Cruz Hightower LT, stretching its legs to a full 150mm of VPP suspension.
With the help of some of the fastest & most stylish riders around, the Hightower LT came to be. The links went through a few iterations, eventually reaching that sweet spot of spring rate, travel, and shock compatibility. Just like what was done with the V10, the LT receives a completely redesigned swingarm to match the new links.
The LT's geometry is extremely close to the regular Hightower, as the bikes share a front triangle. The increased travel means the reach is slightly (7mm) shorter, the head angle a half-degree slacker, and the seat angle a half-degree slacker, as well. The rear triangle retains the dual upright design, but adds a post-mount rear brake. Unlike the regular Santa Cruz Hightower, you can't run 27.5+ sized tyres in the LT, and there's no flip chip to change the suspension. Instead, the 2018 Santa Cruz Hightower LT is focused entirely on going fast and giving you a bigger margin of error when taking on heavy hitting terrain.
Images are for Illustrative purposes only. Please check the Specification listing for an accurate build.
The C-Level carbon frame found on the Santa Cruz Hightower LT boasts the same level of stiffness and strength as the higher tiered CC-level frame, but with the sacrifice of a bit more weight (280 grams heavier than the CC frame) to ensure the proper reinforcement is provided.
The crowning glory of the Hightower LT is almost certainly the all new Santa Cruz Reserve Carbon Wheels. Built on the highest quality carbon rims on the market, Santa Cruz are so confident in the design & strength of the wheels that they've backed them with a lifetime warranty, just like their frames.
Broken wheels ruin any ride. Which is why strength & impact resistance come as highest priority, but strength doesn't have to mean uncomfortably stiff. Compliant enough to avoid a harsh ride that typically accompanies carbon rims. Everything from the thickness of rim beads to external spoke hole reinforcements have been taken into account to ensure that every rider, no matter their level, get exactly what they need for confident & capable riding.
No gimmicks. Not limited. If you manage to break the Reserve rims while out riding, Santa Cruz will replace it for free.
For more information & to ensure that you get the correct fit, check out our Santa Cruz Bikes Sizing Guide; it contains full measurements for each model, as well as tips on how to measure yourself correctly.

Patti Engineering supports Real Ale Brewing upgrade
September 16, 2014 – Patti Engineering is providing engineering support for the installation and commissioning of a new Krones bottling line for Texas regional craft brewer, Real Ale Brewing Company. Real Ale Brewing has wide spread Texas distribution of its handcrafted ales and has experienced consistent double digit growth, year over year.
Real Ale Brewing invested in the new bottling line to meet growth demands, and statistics look good for continued growth for the company, as well as for other regional craft brewers across the country. According to the Brewers Association, despite the 2013 1.9 percent decrease in overall beer sales in the U.S., craft beer sales grew 17.2 percent; the niche market is now worth $14.3 billion dollars.
For the installation of the new bottling line, Real Ale Brewing hired Patti Engineering for its controls engineering expertise to supplement its in-house team. The scope of services provided by Patti Engineering's Austin, TX office included the design of the wire gutter and basket system, and specification of purchasing and routing requirements for cabling the variable frequency drives (VFD's), motor starters, and all of the I/O sensors. C.H. Electrical of Austin installed Patti Engineering's design. Patti Engineering also assisted with reprogramming an existing vision inspection system that was repurposed from the original bottling line.
The new bottling line was successfully commissioned in early August, quadrupling Real Ale Brewing's bottling speed from 100 bottles per minute to 400 bottles per minute, positioning the company to continue to meet growth demands. "The success of this project is a direct reflection of the dedication, diligence and team effort of our Director of Brewing Operations, Tim Schwartz, our Maintenance Manager, Gary Turnquist, and our local partners, Patti Engineering and C.H. Electrical," commented Real Ale Brewing's President, Brad Farbstein.
Real Ale Brewing is known in Texas for its flagship ales and lagers including Firemans #4, Devil's Backbone, and bold seasonal brews such as Phoenixx Double ESB and Coffee Porter. Co-owners Farbstein and his wife Gabriel Gregerman, along with Real Ale Brewing employees, recently celebrated 18 years in business. Farbstein purchased the brewery in 1998 when it was only in its second year of operation and producing just 300 barrels of beer a year. The company now produces 60,000 barrels of beer a year, has 42 employees, $12 million in annual sales, and is nationally ranked among the largest regional craft brewers. "For us it is not about moving boxes or units, instead it is about enjoying our passion and focusing on brewing quality beer. Our passionate and dedicated team of employees makes Real Ale Brewing Company the success that it is today," Farbstein explained.
"Real Ale Brewing Company is one of the many great small businesses that we at Patti Engineering are proud to serve, and we are honored to be part of the network of local resources they count on to keep their business moving forward," commented Steve Palmgren, vice president of operations for Patti Engineering's Texas office.

Transformation To: A Light Body During Ascension
What Is A Light Body?
The Goal of all Souls is Ascension, to Merge, to Align with Pure Divine Source Energy. The Merging of a New Consciousness that envisions the World Spiritually, not Materially. The Divine Activation, of your Spiritual Awakening. A powerful transformation that Awakens the Encoded Data, to realign Humanity.
The Egyptians call the Light body – Merkaba – Mer {Light} Ka {Soul} Ba {Body}. They believed, that this was the Chariot of the Soul. Your Souls transition vehicle activated during Ascension, the Energy field that surrounds your Human body. The Light Energy activation process that anchors the Physical body with Higher Frequencies of the 5th Dimension.
Archangel Gabriel – Known as the 'Messenger of God,' also known as the Angel of Ascension, New Beginnings, Truth and Life's Purpose.
Lightworkers have been called in record numbers, to assist in facilitating the Ascension Journey here on Earth. They realize, this is Humanities Destiny, to become Enlightened, as they experience Spiritual Growth. Spiritual Awakening is Humanity's Goal as you Ascend.
Try not to be discouraged or distracted by the Chaos currently occurring. A necessary process, to Clear and Cleanse Outdated Beliefs.
Ascension Energy
As Ascension continues, the Physical body begins its transformation to a Light Body. Changes occur on a cellular level, an adjustment from a – 3D Carbon-based anatomy to a – 5D Crystalline-based one. Your Physical body will gradually assimilate and absorb Increased Light during this period of Transition.
Our Light Body, Our Merkaba, the Crystalline bridge of the 5th Dimension, the Aquarian Age of Peace and Love without Conditions.
Awakening and Expanded Spirituality, are all part of Ascension. To align and merge with Divine Grace, Higher Consciousness, and Wisdom through the Energetic Spiritual upgrades, to assist with your Journey. Remembering, Returning to the Divine Light of Love without Conditions, that expands into All aspects of Life.
Your Spiritual Awakening, the Inner knowing you are One with All!!
The Blessings
Your Light Body is the vehicle that advances Humanity to Awaken, to Return to Divine Source Energy. As Humanity evolves, many Seekers wisely look for the answers from the past. The Ancient Wisdom, to replace the current Beliefs with Ancient Truths. Rejecting Belief systems that Bind and Tether the Soul.
With Heightened Awareness you begin to release the "I," the Ego-Self, as you Evolve. Spiritual connections deepen, as your Heart opens to your Authentic Self, your Core Essence. Be Brave, continue to wisely use your Guidance, your Intuition, your Discernment to Seek your answers. Do not be Fooled or Led, look within for your Answers!
Seeds planted long ago Activated by the Divine Energy of Love, are flooding Planet Earth.
You may believe that this does not describe what you currently Witness. Please know it does. Increased Energies can be confusing, causing many to react from their lower Chakras, causing unresolved issues to come forward. Ready to be Healed. All part of this process, remain Calm, have Faith, know this is the Divine plan.
As you Awaken to this Truth, seeing your transformation as the Planetary Oneness with All of Humanity.
Activation Preparation
The Light Body Internal grid will switch on the Light, that connects the Physical, Mental, Emotional bodies, with the Spiritual. As the current Energetic State of Solar Energies, assist your body in absorbing increased Light Energy. All Humanity at their pace, is in this process. Transitioning, Evolving to Absorb increased Light.
"When you align to your new Frequency, all that no longer aligns will fall away." Tony Robbin
As you shed and detach from Old Beliefs, you sense a Loving knowing, the State of Neutrality. Releases of Emotional baggage come forward. As you reevaluate your Beliefs, you open space for Enlightened thoughts to take Root.
The Energy of the Aquarian Age is upon you, the 5th Dimension of Ascension. An Age of challenging the Old and rethinking the World through Enlightened Eyes. All a necessary piece of the Ascension Chaos, we currently witness.
It is your Divine Faith that allows something Greater than yourself to steer your Chariot.
Light Body Assimilation
During this transformation, substantial changes, side effects occur in your cellular structure. This flux of New Frequencies effects the body Energetically and Physically. It requires you to take notice, to discern your nourishment choices. To assist your Light body assimilate during this process. The Higher Intensity energies will continue for sometime.

On July 22, a few days before Ryan C. Crocker, the American ambassador to Afghanistan, retired from his post, The New York Times interviewed him in his residence in Kabul.
Mr. Crocker had been a Foreign Service officer in the State Department since 1971, and served extensively in the Arab world, including stints as ambassador to Lebanon, Syria, Kuwait and Iraq. He has also been ambassador to Pakistan. He retired on Friday as ambassador to Afghanistan, where he had previously served as deputy chief of mission and in 2002, he reopened the American Embassy in Kabul after the Taliban regime fell.
The following is a transcript of his answers to some of the questions posed by The Times. Brief explanations have been provided in brackets where necessary.
On the likelihood of a peace deal with the Taliban:
I am increasingly persuaded there is no "the Taliban." I think it is an increasingly factionalized movement, some of whose members stand totally against any form of reconciliation and others who want to pursue it.
If a reconciliation comes, it's not going to be a grand bargain, I don't think. It's going to be piecemeal: individuals here, individuals there. I consider that a realistic possibility.
I don't think you'll ever get the Haqqanis or Mullah Omar and those closest to him.
[The Haqqanis are a family-run insurgent and criminal network based in Miran Shah, Pakistan, in the largely ungoverned tribal areas. They are believed to be responsible for some of the more complex terrorist attacks in Kabul and elsewhere in the country. Mullah Mohammed Omar is the leader of the Taliban and is believed to be in hiding in Pakistan.]
On whether, in retrospect, it was a mistake to include warlords in the government at the beginning after the Taliban were ousted:
There's no question it's a problem. It's limits of influence. There were so few forces here, allied forces, back in '02 that we weren't really in a position to control or influence very much of anything.
That said, we saw the problem early on. And you know, this was back in the day when we had an authorized channel with the Iranians. It started right after 9/11 and I ran it for our side and at that time, this was something my Iranian counterpart and I talked about.
When were the talks? The talks went from September '01. I was on a flight to Geneva because [the talks] were under the auspices of the U.N., and they ran until the beginning of May '03 off and on. We broke them off after the Riyadh bombings in that month. We had warned the Iranians [the bombings] were being planned by Al Qaeda figures in Tehran under Iranian protection. They didn't do anything about it and we lost Americans.
But in the early months, we had a fair meeting of the minds. They were very, very anxious to get on with the war: "Will you guys please hurry up?" And then subsequently we talked about the problem with the warlords and one of the discussions was, "Well, maybe we Iranians could do something about Ismail Khan and you Americans could do something about Dostum."
[Ismail Khan, an ethnic Tajik, was the power broker who ran Herat and a broad swath of western Afghanistan on the Iranian border. Abdul Rashid Dostum, an ethnic Uzbek, dominated a broad swath of the north, but especially the areas around Mazar-i-Sharif, Jowzjan and Sar-i-Pul.]
And for a while that worked. Dostum was given some kind of position here in Kabul; that kind of removed him from his base in the north, and Ismail Khan went through a period of significantly reduced influence.
The problem persists. The actuarial tables will, I think, affect this over time; these guys are getting older. Some of them have decided, like Marshal Fahim, that he'd rather be part of the establishment than operating away from it. Some have taken themselves out of the game, like Sayyaf.
[Marshal Muhammad Fahim, an ethnic Tajik, is the first vice president of Afghanistan and was a powerful commander from Panshir Province before joining the government. Abdul Rasul Sayyaf, a former leader of a mujahedeen faction during Afghanistan's civil war, is now a member of Parliament and a confidante of President Hamid Karzai.]
On whether warlords are operating from within the government:
That's also part of the problem of the compromises that need to be made to produce a relatively stable, or at least relatively unified, nation. Fahim was, I think, critical in the aftermath of the Rabbani assassination in keeping the northerners on our side. He stuck right by Karzai; he made some very positive statements for national unity.
[Burhanuddin Rabbani, an ethnic Tajik, was the president of Afghanistan from 1992 to 1996, when the mujahedeen dominated the country. He was appointed head of the High Peace Council by President Karzai. Mr. Rabbani was assassinated by a suicide bomber with a bomb in his turban on Sept. 20, 2011, which deeply angered members of the former Northern Alliance, who formed the main opposition to Mr. Karzai.]
You know this better than almost anybody: Afghanistan is enormously complicated, more so than Iraq, and it rivals Lebanon and it's a lot bigger and has a lot more actors. Karzai has had to play a very difficult balancing game.
On the likelihood of a soft partition after the NATO withdrawal in 2014, with the Taliban influential in the south, warlords dominating the north and west, criminal families influencing the east, and government control primarily in and around Kabul Province:
The key determinant here is the [2014] election, and of course everything that runs up to it. Look, anything is possible here; you know my hackneyed line that an extreme long-range prediction is a week from Thursday. But what I see going on talking to the president, talking to other officials, talking to political leaders of all stripes, persuasions and ethnicities suggests several things.
First, the northerners want to play significantly in Kabul. A soft partition or otherwise could happen, but I think for the major northern political figures, that's not where their minds are. It's figuring out how they are best postured for the post-2014 administration and how to be part of it, and some have said so explicitly in conversations with us.
Another scenario is the election of a Pashtun president from the Hizb-e-Islami party, which is linked to Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, another of the warlords who was a leader during the civil war that tore the country apart in the 1990s. The military wing of Hizb-e-Islami has continued to be active in the armed opposition to the Afghan government and especially to its American and European allies.
In terms of a Hizb-e-Islami victory, you would have solid northern opposition, and not just northern non-Pashtun opposition. You would divide the Pashtuns. A serious Hizb-i- Islami effort probably more likely than anything is going to guarantee that somebody else wins this.
On President Karzai:
He certainly has his critics and he certainly has a number of challenges to deal with, but one quality I noticed in him when I first got here in January '02 that still I think is very prominent in his thinking: He's an Afghan nationalist. He's not blind to ethnic differences and tensions, but he is constantly thinking: "How do I keep people basically linked up together in a unified state?" And he's told me that among other things, it's absolutely critically important for 2014 to produce a president that all Afghans and all the communities can accept, so that equilibrium is maintained and national unity is maintained. And I do believe him when he says that.
On what role the United States should play in the Arab Spring uprisings:
I worry. It's not that I think that we're making bad policy judgments, I think we are running into resource constraints. Development budgets get cut and cut and cut and more and more countries arise that need the support. And there's a growing delta between need and resources that is troubling.

Today is a good day to salute another, newly christened Nobel laureate who stood up to the war machine, telling the "Masters of War" that he could "see through [their] masks"; that "even Jesus would never forgive what you do." (Song below.)
The song was released in 1963, when the antiwar movement in the US was still very small. But millions would hear it, and along with other songs that he wrote and recorded, it would undoubtedly contribute to that movement and its consciousness.
Probably it won't get a lot of play in the stories about Dylan winning the Nobel Prize. At the moment, the level of media brainwashing on these issues is rather high, with 80 percent of voters in a recent survey saying they thought terrorism was "very important" to their 2016 vote — second only to the economy, at 84 percent. Since you are much more likely to get killed by lightning than die at the hands of a terrorist, it is no exaggeration to say that the mass media has managed to create a literally delusional reality for millions of Americans.
It is hard to imagine Dylan or his fans buying into this kind of delusion, any more than they bought the official story that the Vietnam War was about saving the world from Communism. At the time of the song, however, the majority of the country did buy the official story and supported the war. This would change considerably in the ensuing years.
The delusions about terrorism, and about America's current, never-ending wars and foreign policy that are much more the cause of terrorism than a response to it, will also be shattered in the years ahead. "Masters of War" should be part of every broadcast about Dylan's Nobel Prize.
Masters of War
Bob Dylan
Come you masters of war
You that build the big guns
You that build the death planes
You that build all the bombs
You that hide behind walls
You that hide behind desks
I just want you to know
I can see through your masks
You that never done nothin'
But build to destroy
You play with my world
Like it's your little toy
You put a gun in my hand
And you hide from my eyes
And you turn and run farther
When the fast bullets fly
Like Judas of old
You lie and deceive
A world war can be won
You want me to believe
But I see through your eyes
And I see through your brain
Like I see through the water
That runs down my drain
You fasten all the triggers
For the others to fire
Then you sit back and watch
When the death count gets higher
You hide in your mansion
While the young people's blood
Flows out of their bodies
And is buried in the mud
You've thrown the worst fear
That can ever be hurled
Fear to bring children
Into the world
For threatening my baby
Unborn and unnamed
You ain't worth the blood
That runs in your veins
How much do I know
To talk out of turn
You might say that I'm young
You might say I'm unlearned
But there's one thing I know
Though I'm younger than you
That even Jesus would never
Forgive what you do
Let me ask you one question
Is your money that good?
Will it buy you forgiveness
Do you think that it could?
I think you will find
When your death takes its toll
All the money you made
Will never buy back your soul
And I hope that you die
And your death'll come soon
I will follow your casket
By the pale afternoon
And I'll watch while you're lowered
Down to your deathbed
And I'll stand o'er your grave
'Til I'm sure that you're dead

This document informs you of the specific terms and conditions under which you may make use of www. Vacationhomelettings.com ("Our site") as an Advertiser ("Advertiser", "You") to create and publish Adverts for your rental accommodation ("Accommodation") on our site. If there is an inconsistency between any of the provisions of these terms and conditions ("Advertiser Terms & Conditions") and the General Terms & Conditions, the provisions of the Advertiser Terms & Conditions shall prevail. Please read the General Terms & Conditions and these Advertiser Terms & Conditions thoroughly before using our site. By registering an Advertiser Account on our site ("Advertiser Account"), specifically by using your email address and choosing a password, you indicate that you accept these Advertiser Terms & Conditions.
You must be legally entitled to rent the Accommodation which you publish as an Advert on our site to Guests. Specifically, this means that you must be the ultimate owner of the property, or an agency with a contract to market and rent the Accommodation on behalf of its owner. You agree to provide us, upon request, with proof of personal identification, proof of ownership of the Accommodation advertised on our site or a proof of authority to list the property. Vacationhomelettings reserves the right to suspend your Advert during any investigation to establish your identity. Vacationhomelettings reserves the right to permanently cancel all of your Adverts if you fail to provide satisfactory identification within 30 days of such a request, with no entitlement to any refund.
Payments to Vacationhomelettings can be made by debit/credit card payment or bank transfer. All banking and other fees relating to a payment shall be borne by the Advertiser. All online payment pages are protected via 128 bit Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology. If payment for Subscriptions or any other services provided by us is made by debit/credit card, your payment will be processed by Paypal, our online card payment provider.
Vacationhomelettings.com provides Adverts to Advertisers by means of a subscription ("Subscription"). Vacationhomelettings may provide other services to Advertisers ("Add-ons") to increase the promotion of their Advert. To place an Advert, the Advertiser makes an order by means of the site's relevant online form or by accepting an offer from one of our Sales Agents, and pays Vacationhomelettings, the fees for the relevant Advert(s) and any Add-ons. Subscriptions are sold by Vacationhomelettings to run for the full term that is selected by the Advertiser. That term starts on the date that the Advertiser publishes their Advert, and expires at the end of the term selected when purchasing the Advert ("Advertising Term").
All Advert Subscriptions that are paid for with a credit card will have their Advertising Term automatically and continuously extended by the term specified in the Subscriptions & Payments page ('Renewal Advertising Term') unless the Advertiser has deactivated auto-renewal before the Expiration Date, as described below. The process of automatic Subscription renewals is called "Auto-renewal". Regardless of any special discounts provided to you by us for the initial Advertising Term, your Subscriptions will be automatically renewed on the Expiration Date at our current list prices ("List Prices"), which may change from time to time. You can view our List Prices at any time by clicking this link. Renewal Advertising Terms are as follows:
- For Annual Subscriptions, the Renewal Advertising Term is 12 months.
- For Trial Subscriptions, the Renewal Advertising Term is 12 months.
- For Monthly Subscriptions, the Renewal Advertising Term is 1 month.
The auto-renewal of an Advertising Term can be deactivated at any time before the end of the initial Advertising Term or the then-current Renewed Advertising Term by means of the "Manage Subscriptions" button in the Subscriptions & Payments section. To avoid doubt, any such deactivation will only take effect at the end of the initial Advertising Term or Renewed Advertising Term in which the deactivation occurs. Vacationhomelettings make no guarantee of refunds in the event of non-use or dissatisfaction. In the event that auto-renewal fails on the renewal date, we will attempt to auto-renew your Subscription for 30 days during which time your Advert will remain published. If we are still unable to take your auto-renewal payment 30 days after its Expiration Date, your Advert will be deactivated.
Vacationhomelettings provides an advertising service rather than a physical product. In line with European Union e-commerce regulations, Vacationhomelettings offers a seven day cooling-off period, during which time you may cancel your subscription and receive a full refund. To apply for a refund of your subscription fees during the cooling-off period, we must receive your refund request by email from the email address registered on your Advertiser Account to firstname.lastname@example.com stating your invoice number and Advert ID no later than seven working days after your initial subscription payment, and you must not have published any Advert during this period. Once your Advert has been published on our website, the cooling-off period is automatically terminated. The "Cooling off period" applies to the initial advertising period only; it cannot be applied beyond the first Subscription period.
Our services are provided within US law and therefore the Advertiser is required to account for any VAT (or equivalent) due in their own member state/country. We are legally required to charge VAT on our fees at 25% to Advertisers who are either resident in India or who are private individuals resident in the EU. If you are an Advertiser resident outside the EU, VAT will not be charged as our services are outside the scope of Danish VAT when provided to you. If you are an EU resident Advertiser (except in India) and if you confirm that you are registered as a business by providing a valid EU VAT number, we will not charge Danish VAT on our fees.
We reserve the right to change the List Prices and conditions without notice. Any new rates will be applicable immediately for all new Adverts and renewals for both new and existing Advertisers. You can view our List Prices at any time by clicking this this link.
We provide an Add-on product called Google Advertising, which may be sold bundled with an Advert subscription in a promotional offer. Vacationhomelettings will automatically create for Advertisers who purchase Google Advertising, Google Adwords campaigns in multiple languages targeting guests search accommodation in their area. By ordering this Add-on product, Advertisers accept the terms of advertising for Google Adwords.
We provide a Premium feature called 'Personal Website', which provides Advertisers with a stand-alone holiday rentals website on their choice of domain name. This service is provided for the duration that the Advertiser has an active Advert Subscription on Vacationhomelettings in the case that the Advertiser has purchased a Premium Upgrade. In the case that the Advertiser does not renew an Advert Subscription, the property connected to the Advert Subscription will be removed from the Advertiser's Personal Website. In the case that the Advertiser has no active Advert Subscriptions on Vacationhomelettings, Personal Website will be unpublished and the domain name recycled for use by other Advertisers. In the case that the Advertiser chooses and registers a new domain name through Vacationhomelettings during the configuration of the Your Own Website feature, the domain is registered and owned by Vacationhomelettings and may not be transferred in any case. The Your Own Website feature is provided 'as is' with no warranties or guarantees.
In some cases, New Advertisers purchasing an Annual Subscription on Vacationhomelettings may be offered an "Enquiry Guarantee" covering the initial Advertising Term of their Advert. This will be clearly stated on your invoice, referencing the Property ID of the Advert to which it applies. In the unlikely event that you do not receive more than 10 booking through your property advert during your first Annual Subscription period, we will credit or refund to you a pro-rated amount up to the full amount of your first year Advert Subscription fee, pro-rated by the number of enquiries you have received. Should a claimant meet the Qualifications below, the credit or refund amount will be calculated according to the following formula: Credit or refund amount = Amount paid for Annual Advert Subscription excl.

Qualifications Qualifications The Enquiry Guarantee is available for all new property adverts added to the site by a new advertiser on their first order where the product name 'Enquiry Guarantee' is printed on their initial invoice, and applies to the first annual subscription period for each such advert. In some cases, the Enquiry Guarantee may apply to existing advertisers as part of a renewal offer, and in such cases will be clearly stated on the renewal invoice.
