Gilbert Highet
Gilbert Arthur Highet (/ˈhaɪɪt/;[1]June 22, 1906 – January 20, 1978) was a Scottish-American classicist, academic, writer, intellectual, critic and literary historian.
Born in Glasgow, Scotland, Gilbert Highet is best known as a mid-20th-century teacher of the humanities in the United States. He attended Hillhead High School, Glasgow,[2] Glasgow University and, on both a Snell and a Jenkyns Exhibition,[3] Balliol College, Oxford. His Oxford career was distinguished by a First in Classical Moderations, 1930,[4] an Ireland and Craven Scholarship, 1930,[5] the Chancellor's Prize for Latin Verse, 1931,[6] and a First in Literae Humaniores ('Greats', philosopher and ancient history) in 1932.[7] He was appointed a fellow of St John's College, Oxford in 1932[8] and remained at the college until 1938 when he moved to Columbia University.[9]
He had met his wife, the well-known novelist Helen MacInnes, while they were fellow-students at Glasgow, and they married in 1932. In 1938 he was appointed to the chair of Latin & Greek at Columbia University. He stayed at Columbia until 1971 (except for British Army service[10] during World War II). He became an American citizen in 1951, following his appointment as Anthon Professor of Latin Language and Literature in 1950. See his obituary in The Times, January 26, 1978.
Highet devoted most of his energy to teaching, but he also aspired to raise the level of mass culture and achieved a broader influence by publishing essays and books, hosting his own radio program, acting as a judge for the Book-of-the-Month Club, and serving on the editorial board of Horizon magazine.
Highet died in New York City.
Like others teaching at Columbia at this time – Lionel Trilling, Mark Van Doren, Eric Bentley, Ernest Nagel – Gilbert Highet conceived of his work as the fostering of a tradition. "These are not books, lumps of lifeless paper, but 'minds' alive on the shelves," Highet wrote. He believed that "The chief aim of education is to show you, after you make a livelihood, how to enjoy living; and you can live longest and best and most rewardingly by attaining and preserving the happiness of learning."
As a scholar in an era in which democracy, communism, and fascism vied for supremacy, he believed it was the duty of the intellectual to support freedom and defend pluralism. "The aim of those who try to control thought is always the same," he wrote. "They find one single explanation of the world, one system of thought and action that will (they believe) cover everything; and then they try to impose that on all thinking people."
Above all, he was devoted to learning from the past. "History is a strange experience," he wrote in the introduction to an essay on Byzantium. "The world is quite small now; but history is large and deep. Sometimes you can go much farther by sitting in your own home and reading a book of history, than by getting onto a ship or an airplane and traveling a thousand miles. When you go to Mexico City through space, you find it a sort of cross between modern Madrid and modern Chicago, with additions of its own; but if you go to Mexico City through history, back only 500 years, you will find it as distant as though it were on another planet: inhabited by cultivated barbarians, sensitive and cruel, highly organized and still in the Copper Age, a collection of startling, of unbelievable contrasts." Despite this, as Highet showed above all in his masterpiece The Classical Tradition, it was possible to discover in the past a great humanizing river of learning which connected the present to the Biblical and especially the Greek and Roman civilizations, and through his evocative and graceful prose to make one feel at home in that flow of past lives, and to long for it. Highet tended to be critical of contemporary literature, attributing to it decadent qualities.
He himself was a highly praised teacher. Robert J. Ball, in an appreciation under the heading Living Legacies published in 2001 in the Columbia University Alumni Magazine, wrote: "When Gilbert Highet entered the classroom, one felt as though the curtain were going up on a Broadway play, with a living legend in the lead. He reminded students (not surprisingly) of a British Army officer — of the kind portrayed by Jack Hawkins in motion pictures—tall, erect, handsome, clean-shaven, and impeccably dressed. He consistently gave his audience a commanding performance, whether he spoke or sang or stood or walked, with a presence comparable to that of Laurence Olivier or John Houseman. ... With his powerful and speculative mind, he gave his students an extraordinary intellectual experience, capped by a showmanship perhaps unparalleled in the American college classroom."
Highet wrote voluminously. He is remembered today for:
- An Outline of Homer (1935)
- Werner Jaeger, Paideia : die Formung des griechischen Menschen, translated by Gilbert Highet as Paideia: The Ideals of Greek Culture (1939–1944)
- The Classical Tradition: Greek and Roman Influences on Western Literature (1949)
- The Art of Teaching (1950)
- Another solution (1951) one of Highet's few fictional pieces, published in Harper's Magazine.

Dynamic Core for Kids Applied: The Challenge of Continence for Kids with Challenges
Dynamic Core for Kids Applied: The Challenge of Continence for Kids with Challenges
This course includes
Lifetime access after purchase
Certificate of completion
The instructors
Continence is a challenge for many of the families pediatric PTs and OTs encounter. But few pediatric professionals feel confident to address these needs, and standard behavioral and environmental interventions seem to fall short for atypical children (and some typical kids). This 2-hour online module seeks to provide the pediatric professional with a new understanding of continence, through an exploration of the neuromuscular and pressure systems that contribute to continence (it's more than just a pelvic floor problem). New intervention strategies are provided to access these systems, taking into account the unique circumstances of children with developmental, sensory and motoric challenges. Practical approaches are discussed and demonstrated to simultaneously address the interconnection between postural control, balance, gait, constipation, and continence using several concepts basic to the Dynamic Core for Kids approach to central stability.
Please click here to read the terms and conditions prior to purchasing this course.

Mermaid Hair Extensions
Halo Salon is proud to announce that owner, Kait, is a certified Mermaid Maker. She has travelled all the way to Dallas, Texas to learn from the creater herself, Katie Rogers. These extensions have been worn by Teen Mom star Chelsea Houska, Shahs Of Sunset star Lilly Ghalichi, and Real Housewives of Miami Joanna Krupa.
Mermaid Hair extensions have revolutionized the I-Tip hair extension. Mermaid Hair extensions pack in a whopping 2 grams per strand in comparison to competitors who only offer 1 gram per strand. This means fuller, more luxurious, and most importantly- more natural looking hair extensions. These extensions use a non slip micro bead to bond the extension to the natural hair. Once secured, these beads lay flat on the head. Because of the beaded bonds, these extensions are flexible and are able to be pulled up in a ponytail or bun for short periods of time, unlike wefted or tape-in extensions.

Skukuza marathon – Property.CoZa shines!
Property.CoZa Lowveld had a magnificent turnout at the Skukuza marathon. We manned the no 1 water point near the Panic hide. The kind game rangers kept the crocks and hippos at bay and the team supported hundreds of runners.
Ons gees was fantasties. Mooi julle en baie geluk aan Cicke wat die sake laat vlot het. Vroegoggend by die Krugerhek was egter 'n nagmerrie, maar nouja, dit is die gewone ding met wildtuin personeel.
Kruger staff just struggle to plan. Its really so frustrating. Hundreds of cars were held up at the gate with runners getting nervous of not being on time. Don't these officials think that on a day like this they must cater for more staff!? Later, we went to watch the Lions rugby game at the Skukuza golf club. No use buying a drink – there's one barman serving 200 people. Breakfast? You must be joking! "The kietchen eye is not sooo good, we only heve two pepol".
Iedergeval, ons waterpunt het gewerk want Cicke weet hoe. Dankie Cicke en Jannie en almal, veral die puik agente wat kook! Thanks also to all the hubbies and wifies that took part. Dankie aan Wynand en Ilse wat al die toerusting terug vervoer het kantoor toe. Congrats to our runners : Morne, Sanet, Jacques, Idette, Cicke and the whole team – you all painted Kruger red!

(Deutsch) Ein Lob dem Einheits-Manager
The FAZ of Jan, 13th, 2009 printed an article on: The Uniform Manager. The theory was: due to similar career steps, managers get more and more uniform. My advice is for you to read the article and then refrain from automatically consent, because the truth is a little less drastic.
The Uniform Manager is a rhetorical figure of speech ideal for verbal combat and in reality should be called efficient manager.
I am sure you remember that Peter Drucker, the great philosopher in the field of management, defined the difference between an effective and an efficient manager as follows: an effective executive gets the right things done, whereas the efficient executive does things right. The latter delivers high quality output of what he has been told to do, whereas the former constantly questions what is on the agenda and defines his own priorities. In my estimation, the distribution is about 98.5 % against 1.5 %, and when one of the 1.5% effective executives travel to Germany, then this is truly no vacation for him, because in this country, we have a culture of efficiency. Mind you, I do not mean this in a negative sense. The dire consequences of crises can be softened and the way out of them can be copied from effective cultures.

Great Orators and their Stories – #3 Hans-Strack Zimmermann
I met Hans Strack-Zimmermann often and in many roles. I know him as a real pioneer of information technology. At CERN, he set the corner stone for the world-wide-web, he made Unix a standard at Siemens, and he promoted the IXOS archive system. Many of his ideas and activities supported the creation of Brainloop. In terms of "scrum terminology", he was always the "product owner", the visionary type who promoted themes.
Like all those I am writing a tribute to in this series, Hans is, of course, not "just" a "professional" orator. He is director of his own enterprise with technological knowledge and always prepared to take up a new challenge. Although he has been at the top, he always remained down-to-earth. He never adapted "in the interest of less friction" and always stood up for what he believed. He fought with passion for his projects. As an orator, Hans has special charisma. His audience – no matter if customers or employees – was downright swept away. What had to be said was said and he did not believe in beating around the bush. For him, there is no difference between talking in German and talking in English.
I was privileged in having had the chance to witness him in various situations: as project manager at Siemens, as orator on IT events at SAVE (that is the community of Siemens users), GUUG (German Unix User Group) and GI (Gesellschaft für Informatik) and, of course, as co-founder and managing director of IXOS. Or at the Uniforum in the USA.

(Deutsch) Vortrag an der Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg
Klaus-Jürgen Grün
Thinking Magical Thoughts
This weekend, Klaus-Jürgen Grün enjoyed making good use of time spent travelling in trains by doing some writing and reading. Finding a "train companion" motivated him to write this new text for the IF blog.
A Bible salesman promotes his ware by saying: "If you have Jesus, you have life. If you do not want to miss true life, read the Bible". Deutsche Bahn AG prints the slogan in the handouts that inform passengers in InterCity trains about their respective connections. The salesman offers his internet address www.werjesushathatdasleben.de and I am sure he will find customers.
Promising real life, however, the slogan twists our understanding of reality, instead of making us fit for real life. We cannot deny that someone reading the Bible can get the impression of just having met the entrance to real life, just like a chain smoker will have the impression that his addiction will never physically harm him.
In the case of smokers, society has intervened. Society believes that smokers must be saved from themselves and passive smokers must be protected against the avoidable perils caused by the dangerous life-style of smokers. We have a law that forces cigarette advertisers to explicitly state the high risk for your health and life if you enjoy their products.
Why do we believe that our health might not suffer just as much from the about-face of our natural perception of reality, i.e. the promise that we will find real life through the Bible? Wherever you look your experience tells you that shifting your mental powers from real-life objects to an other-worldly, imagined, magical and only virtually existing truth is highly dangerous. If, appealing to the mental power to just believe strongly enough in the real value of the paper, you hand on a foul cheque, you will cause considerable damage in the real world. People buying shares the value of which exists only virtually trust in the same magical mental power of a mere thought as the one the Bible salesman is offering in his illusion.
After all, a foul cheque is no different from a bond gone sour in that reality does correspond with what it says on the paper. These foul cheques rouse expectations they cannot deliver, and they also promote the tendency of humans to consider pious expectations more real than a solid perception of reality.
Our loan system has been seriously wounded through the false credo (credo = "I believe". It is no surprise that the most important financial terms are derived from the Bible: "creditor", "debtor", "credit", "e-mission"). Just because we humans never learned to distinguish adequately between merely imagined and actual values, we tumbled into a financial crisis that makes all former crises look tame. To be sure, we can say there will always be crises, but sometimes they grow into revolutions. So what if the current crisis marks the end of capitalism? That is definitely a possible scenario, and if it happens, then we will have no reason to lament about the sacrifices this crisis demands from us.
The only thing that is really regrettable is what an enormous bureaucratic effort we make in order to, for example, minimise the harm done by smoking. We claim that we want to protect the rest of society against the loss of reality smokers suffer when it comes to evaluating the health risk they themselves take. At the same time, the sources of magical concepts are permitted to enhance, exploit and satisfy with undeliverable promises the already weak sense of reality of the Germans by spraying incense that is beneficial their own profit and interests. Instead of doing their duty and pointing out the dangers of deficits in rational human thinking, they are allowed to poison the human mind so drastically that humans will eventually no longer be able to live in the real world.
But we humans are easy prey to seduction. Give us the belief in the reality of mere letters, instead of using real words for what is real. Similar to the inscription on every pack of cigarettes, there should be a warning inscribed on every Bible:
"The content of this book may be harmful to your concept of reality."

Radio Philosophy #001 – ETHICS.
Ethics boom.
Ethics is about good manners.
And about morals.
So why does it currently boom?Simple.
When times are splendid, we need no ethics.
Everybody lives in abundance.
When times are dire,
people automatically move closer together.
Then nobody has time for ethics.
It only booms shortly before everything collapses.
So if you are sick and tired
of hearing about morals and justice,
just wait a little longer.
Until the real shit hits the fan.

My Personal Declaration of Values – Very Short!
The sections from the Bavarian Constitution I discussed in my last article made me thoughtful. What exactly are the values, expectations, interests and needs of a human being? In German, the acronym WEIB (from Werte, Erwartungen, Interessen und Bedürfnisse) has been installed as a mnemonic (© Rudi Jansche) – Comment of translator: and maybe vein is not too bad either, in that it symbolizes a rather vital part of the human organism without which life certainly would not be possible.
Here are some answers that come to mind spontaneously:
Convenience is my greatest enemy and the cause of many things that went wrong in our society.
I believe in
- Tolerance
- Liberty and
- Courage to stand up for one's ideals.
I abhor
- Torture
- Fascism and
- Force.
In my opinion, man's greatest achievements are
- Enlightenment
- Human Rights and
- Equal Rights
The only way we can solve this world's future problems is through international consensus. My confidence in governments and commissions is not great, which is why I think international NGO's (Non Government Organisations) are very important. Examples for such that I am particularly fond of are Amnesty International and Wikipedia (many people are not even aware of wikipedia being a powerful NGO). And the internet might well become the key to the new world, just like the printing press turned out to be the source of our great achievements.
(translated and slightly completed by Evelyn Gemkow)
Roland Dürre
For the Bavarian Constitution!
Someone wrote a cynical (?) comment under my article about texts on the financial crisis, where I cited sections 151 and 157 of the Bavarian Constitution. I found this comment rather terrible. I really believe that it is hardly possible to better describe the purpose of economy and legitimate free market economy than those two articles do it. And I also believe that our constitution was drawn up by wise people who felt a high ethical responsibility. It will therefore not be easy to improve on our constitution.
Consequently, after reading the aforesaid comment, I took an even closer look at our Bavarian Constitution, during which process I found several other sections that made quite an impression on me. I will therefore relate them as follows:
Article 141 Protection of the natural basis of life and cultural tradition; the right to enjoy the countryside
(1) Care for and protection of the natural environment held in trust for the benefit of future generations is the duty of the individual and the State community. Animals shall be respected and protected as living beings and fellow creatures. The State, Municipalities and legal bodies also have a paramount responsibility, to protect the ground, water and air as the natural basis of life, to relieve or restore damage which may occur and to ensure that they are used as economically as possible, to preserve and constantly enhance the productivity of the ecological balance, to protect the forest with regard to its particular importance for the ecological balance, and to relieve or restore damage which may occur, to care for and preserve indigenous species of animal and plant life, their natural habitats as well as characteristic natural sites and landscape.
(2) The State, Municipalities and legal bodies have a responsibility, to care for and preserve artistic treasures, historical and natural monuments as well as the landscape, to restore damaged artistic and historical treasures as far as possible to their former condition, to prevent the exportation of German artistic treasures abroad.
(3) Everyone is entitled to enjoy natural beauty and relaxation in the open countryside, particularly through access within reasonable distance from towns to forests and mountain meadows, streams and wild fruits. At the same time everyone shall be obliged to care for nature and the landscape. The State and Municipalities have the right and duty to provide open access to mountains, lakes and rivers and other areas of natural beauty, to extend access through the restriction of private ownership, and to provide pathways and nature parks.
Article 152 Supervision of the economic: provision of energy
The ordered production and distribution of economic resources to meet the needs of the population shall be supervised by the state. The state shall be responsible for ensuring the provision of electricity for the Land.
Article 158 Obligations attached to property
Property entails obligations. The manifest abuse of property and ownership rights shall not be countenanced by the law.
Article 160 Property in mineral resources, traffic and utilities; public ownership
(1) A corporate body or co-operative under public direction shall generally control property in economically significant mineral and energy resources, in railways and other routes and means of public transport, in water distribution and in power utilities.
(2) Generally essential means of production, major banks and insurance concerns may be transferred to public ownership in the interest of the population as a whole. The transfer shall be effected under the law and shall be adequately compensated.
(3) Enterprises in public ownership can be managed in a private enterprise form if this is in accordance with the commercial purpose.
Article 161 Distribution and use of land
(1) The distribution and use of land shall be supervised by the State. Misuse shall be terminated.
(2) Increases in the value of land which arise without particular effort or capital investment on the part of the owner shall be utilised for the general public.
The aforementioned citations are in agreement with my set of values. However, I notice massive violations of every one of these articles every day. What use are a constitution and laws if we no longer take them seriously? Just because we have been living in a part of our planet that has been pampered and spoiled by general wealth during the last 50 years, we have no right to forget the really important things in life. We must not throw away our future. I therefore demand that our constitution must again be adhered to, because:
🙂 You cannot be an enemy of the constitution if all you demand is the adherence to same, can you?
By the way, I found a typing mistake in the German version of the Bavarian Constitution. Section 169 is headed as follows:
Artikel 169 Midestlöhne, Tarifverträge
Which, of course, should read: Mindestlöhne and can be translated as follows:
Article 169 Minimum wage; collective wage agreements
(1) Minimum wage levels may be established for every occupational field such as make possible for every employee and his family a minimum standard of living according to the prevailing social conditions.
(2) Collective agreements on working conditions formed between employers and employee associations shall be binding on the members of the employee associations, and may be declared generally binding where they further the general interest.
I am a little on the conservative side. In my opinion, typing mistakes are acceptable in a blog. However, a constitution should be free of typing mistakes, especially if published in the internet. And especially in the internet, typing mistakes should be easily identified, since the spelling checker puts red dots underneath them. That is why I will now send an email to the Bayerische Staatskanzlei and ask them to correct the typing mistake.
Or is the typing mistake symptomatic for the fact that nobody is interested in our constitution anyway? That would be real bad news. Here is the Link if you want to inform yourself.
🙂 Typing mistake was corrected in end of January!

Radio philosophy
This Sunday (and on all following Sundays at midnight) you get to read radio philosophy.
That is philosophy in very small units,
tiny, undividable mental atoms.
Their dynamic power might well, too, be atom-like
if mental patterns have become inflexible (as in: paradigm).
Are you prepared to let your paradigm explode?
Then welcome each Sunday.
But beware: unexpected side-effects
might occur, if you are a well-established manager.

I think Jenna was telling the truth when she named her blog: "Jenna Loves Science!" Actually, not really. I think her true love is teaching science to elementary students. It should be: Jenna Loves Science Education. OK, not so catchy.
I have enjoyed her wicked clever blog which includes an anecdote that I haven't seen written about enough: when a teacher encounters a former student who is now teaching. A teacher's blast from the past!
Jenna has a lot of enthusiasm for teaching and especially for Science4Us. I researched Science4Us which is an early elementary science curriculum with over 500 offline activities and 350 online online interactive digital ones. Plus an amazing indepth and convenient teacher support program.
Science4Us is also popular with the homeschool educators. In fact, the market leading Time4Learning uses Science4Us for its early education program. And the program is listed on several leading homeschool sites on their science education page:
Homeschool.com's Science Programs
Secular Homeschool Science – I thought I'd quote some from the Secular HS site since it's wicked interesting: The threads that get viewed most often on our forum here at SecularHomeschool.com often have to do with secular science curricula…looking for it, bemoaning the lack of it, begging for input on finding it. In the past, secular homeschoolers have been underwhelmed by the available offerings in the science curricula arena.
However, in recent years, several new secular homeschool science options have come on the scene making it not nearly so difficult to find a homeschool science program that will work for your family. I thought it might be a good idea to spotlight some of the newer curricula as well as the tried and true programs that are available, so you will have a centralized place to start looking.

With Organs of the Body of God, it felt like The Occult Conference had both come of age and come home.
In a spirit of Renewal befitting the Vernal Equinox, this last weekend's Occult Conference 2014 – held in the Assembly Rooms in the heart of Glastonbury, clearly a setting it was always meant to find its way to – was a new beginning, and showed the promise of taking things to the next level.
Effectively 'under new management' after passing on from previous organisers, The Occult Consultancy, TOC2014 was put together by Sef Salem, described on the website as a "local occultist and leader of the OTO group in Glastonbury.†Although it is certainly true that he was ably assisted by Brothers and Sisters from Calix Sanctus OTO Camp, this was by no means an 'official OTO show' or restricted to any one group or tradition. With the range of stalls (including Scarlet Imprint, Midian Books, and The Atlantis Bookshop) and volunteers, and the line-up of presentations, speakers, and workshops, a number of different currents were represented. The coming together of such a wide range of seekers, students & practitioners – whether calling themselves esotericists, hermeticists, magicians, mystics, occultists, pagans, shamans, or witches – gave a real sense of both the rich diversity and yet at the same time the common ground to be found in the broader Occult Community. Hats off to All for a sterling effort!
Proceedings were opened by our genial host, OTO Body Master and Gentleman of Jupiter, Sef Salem, welcoming everybody, clarifying some necessary points for the day concerning running order, lunch-break, and fire-safety, before saying a few words about the general vision behind the Conference: that despite belonging to different groups, coming from different traditions, or following different paths, in effect we are all cells that can come together to form Organs of the Body of God.
The first Talk was by Damh the Bard, an accomplished singer, storyteller and magician, who clearly draws on his experience as an entertainer and performer. Lively and engaging, he was a good choice to get things underway. A longstanding initiate of the Order of Bards, Ovates, and Druids, Damh spoke with obvious passion and conviction, mixing history, humour, mythology, and poetry, as he told us of his journey from teenage Black Sabbath fan encountering Pan via Hammer Horror, to a study of Hermetic and Ceremonial magic – plus a chance encounter with a harpist along the way – to eventually exploring and embracing what he sees as the native religious heritage of Albion, "the Island of the Mighty.â€
For more information on OBOD, see: http://www.druidry.org/
Next up was Andy Cooper, speaking as the founder of Helios School of Esoteric Science. He also began with a personal account of how he "came to the Mysteries†– firstly learning about Shamanism in Hawaii, later studying with and being initiated by Dolores Ashcroft Nowicki. Andy describes Helios as "a school and order in the Dion Fortune British Magical Tradition … combining Qabalah, the wisdom of Egypt and the ancient Arthurian Traditions†– but it has to be said, we got little sense of what that might actually entail from his presentation.
For more information on Helios School, see: http://www.helios-school.com/
After lunch, proceedings resumed with Nikki Wyrd, speaking on behalf of the Illuminates Of Thanateros, of which she is currently British Isles Section Head. Being able to renew yourself has always been a secret of longevity, and as the foremost representatives of Chaos Magic the IOT perhaps know this better than most. A sample observation of Nikki's that certainly seemed resonant with the notion of 'Organs of the Body of God' (if only virtually-speaking) was her remark to the effect that "the IOT only really exists physically when we come together for our meetings and to perform rituals.†Of the five currents displaying their wares on the day, theirs seems the most adaptable, flexible [but more on this later.]
For more information on IOT, see: http://www.iotbritishisles.org/
Next up was Adrian Dobbie, who was keen to stress that although he is a member of the Ordo Templi Orientis (indeed, the promotional material informs us that he is "President of the Electoral College within OTO, which governs all affairs of its local bodiesâ€), this was by no means an "official†presentation, and that he was very much speaking as a private individual – a seeker and student like the rest of us. While going into a little of the OTO's history, the possible meanings of Thelema, and taking the time to dispel one-or-two misconceptions that perhaps linger from its association with Aleister Crowley in the popular imagination – the Ghost of "Uncle Al†as he was affectionately termed by more than one Speaker certainly loomed large at times throughout the day! – we were most struck by Adrian's emphasis on OTO not as a "magickal order†but more as a community of men and women dedicated to a path of self-improvement and spiritual development in a mutually supportive fellowship.
For more information on OTO, see: http://oto-uk.org/
Regrettably, we were unable to attend the final Talk of the day – Nigel Bourne, speaking as a longstanding practitioner of Alexandrian Wicca (which we heard later only lasted 20 minutes!) – because we had chosen instead to attend the final Workshop, on at the same time.
Arriving at the Assembly Rooms in the morning to check in we quickly discovered that most of the various Workshops throughout the day had already Sold Out, but that there were just two spaces still left for the IOT Workshop at the end of the afternoon, so we took that as a sign and put our money down…
Nikki Wyrd was joined by partner Julian Vayne to give a demonstration on behalf of the IOT, the Chaos Magic group in which they are both active and longstanding members (originally co-founded by Ray Sherwin and the Conference's "Special Guest†Peter J. Carroll.) As the name suggests, Chaos Magic can be eclectic and sometimes unpredictable, and it is probably better to see it in action or try it out than grapple with too many definitions. Nikki and Julian's Workshop was well attended, and managed to be both serious and playful at the same time. Possibly the most inventive aspect was showing how certain fundamentals, respectfully borrowed or adapted from other traditions, can be brought to bear on giving a wish, a prayer, maximum efficacy and chance of success in the wider world. Going round the room, an ad hoc Group Working was created by combining elements from the varying practices of those present: Sef and a group of OTO members were asked to perform a Thelemic Banishing, Wiccans followed with a recital of the Witches Rune, and then we all joined in with a Druidic chant to "raise the power†– along with Shamanic techniques of circling, dancing, drumming, over-breathing and shaking – all combined in dedication to a common end, the projection of belief out into the culture-at-large. "Magick is the science and art of causing change to occur in conformity with will.†Or at least it made the participants believe so at the time. After we'd metaphorically thrown our sigils (AOS lives on!) into the "sacred waters of Glastonbury†we banished any spectres of doubt or self-importance with laughter, the Chaos Magic way, and then handed round the blessed daffodils to share a keepsake. (Also the apples, after all "eating is good earthing!â€)

At the end of the afternoon there should have been a Launch Event for EPOCH: The Esotericon and Portals of Chaos – the eagerly awaited new work from Peter J. Carroll, in collaboration with digital artist Matt Kaybryn. Unfortunately, actual copies of the book had not arrived from the printers in time for this to be a proper launch, but the co-creators had attended nonetheless. The former Grandmaster of the IOT sat to one side in full "Born to be Wild†disguise, obviously nursing a dreadful cold, along with his collaborator – there were a couple of sample copies of the finished book, and portfolios of Matt's truly spectacular artwork, that could be perused throughout the day. We only managed a cursory glance and a quick chat, but the text looks as intriguing as ever and the images are breathtaking. Matt explained how he works in all manner of different media, but the final images are built up through digital sculpting. Among other exciting things, we caught a glimpse of an invocation of none other than Nyarlathotep (H. P. Lovecraft and his eerie imagination continuing to have such a fruitful Afterlife, now more than ever it seems!) We even recognised one-or-two of the models, including Julian Vayne as a Mr.Punch-meets-The Joker Trickster figure!
To round things off, Sef introduced Professor Ronald Hutton – who had collaborated and advised on the book – who then introduced Peter J. Carroll as "the most significant magical and occult theorist since Aleister Crowley†– high praise indeed! Pete then apologised that he was "sorry for coming to a book-launch with a stinking cold and no book†and explained a little of the idea behind the project – creating images of the gods and goddesses from all the world's religions and mythic past in an attempt to recapture something about ourselves, and at the same time perhaps remind us of our future potential? – before then in turn introducing Matt, who spoke briefly about his part in the creation of the book, and played a short clip of some of the images.
For more information, see: http://www.esotericon.org/
And then, after the Talks and Workshops, the Special Guest spot, and before the Jupiter Ball, a special celebration of The Gnostic Mass, by Ordained Officers of Ecclesia Gnostica Catholica, under the auspices of OTO. "All will be welcome to celebrate the Divine in Humanity, and the Generative and Creative forces of Nature.†Considering the large number attending, constraints of space, and that the Mass is a fairly active performance on the part of those officiating, all went fairly smoothly. There was a sense of a window on the Past, of looking through back to the time of Crowley and the Golden Dawn, and perhaps beyond, but also a sense of how new models of genuinely spiritual communion are developing. The invocations and hymns were moving, the incense evocative, but at the same time the drums helped sustain a suitable earthly tone – like the base-note in a subtly mixed perfume. "There is no part of me that is not of the gods†we all pronounced, after partaking in the communion of a small cake of light and a draught of wine (with vegan, gluten-intolerant, and non-alcoholic options for a few, where necessary.)
A great way to celebrate a sense of community in diversity, and round off what will hopefully be a new beginning…

Sometimes the most simple of flavour combinations can make for a delicious post surf cocktail. When you have such a beautifully blended rum such as Aluna you don't need to mask it with artificially sweet mixers. This isn't the sort of rum you mix with coke! With this in mind, I would love to share with you another on of my signature Aluna Cocktails - Aluna and Apple.
- Take a shot of Aluna and pour over ice - GET IT HERE
- Add fresh lime, I like a lot of lime in my cocktail. I think the lime really enhances the coconut flavours of the rum
- Pour over a high quality Cloudy Apple
- For fun I served mine with a fresh slice of pineapple
This cocktail is refreshingly light and will leave you with a wonderful taste of summer in your mouth.

Fitness Band Making you Fat?
I love that fitness bands encourage us to think about our health and physical activity a lot more that we normally would without them. However, sometimes fitness bands can cause us to over think and even give us misinformation. More recently, people are starting to become aware that "according to their fitness band" they can eat more or have a few calories to spare that they actually do not. Just recently, a client was telling me of a co-worker who was excited that her fitness band allowed her an extra 1700 calories to eat because of her activities. This is becoming common among fitness band users and are even causing some to gain weight. With calculations reporting how many calories you need to function in a day to how many you have to spare, the numbers are transferring to pounds on the scale. For all of you with bands, keep in mind that not all calories are the same. An 100 calorie apple isn't the same as 100 calories of chips. Your body will use the apple energy and store the potatoes as fat. Keep in mind the basics and don't consume your workout calories. Be smart about what you eat and don't forget to move your feet - exercise! Please click here to read more on: My Fitness Band is Making Me Fat

Tesco: School standards woefully low
Tesco chief executive, Sir Terry Leahy, has said that employers are left to bear the brunt of "woefully low" standards in schools.
Speaking to a meeting of members of the grocery industry, Sir Terry Leahy said money pumped into the education system had produced no improvement.
He told the IGD Convention: "As the largest private employer in the country, we depend on high standards in our schools. As today's schoolchildren are tomorrow's team, they will be the ones we need to help build our business.
"Sadly, despite all the money that has been spent, standards are still woefully low in too many schools. Employers like us, and I suspect many of you, are often left to pick up the pieces.
"From my perspective there are too many agencies and bodies, often issuing reams of instructions to teachers, who then get distracted from the task at hand: teaching children."
At the same event. Asda's chief operating officer, Andy Clarke, also complained about the school system, saying: "No-one can deny that Britain has spawned a generation of young people who struggle to read, write or do simple maths. That's why we're finding packs of nappies discarded in the booze aisle as the last few pounds are spent on alcohol rather than childcare."
A spokesman for the Department for Children, Schools and Families said: "Standards have never been higher in our secondary schools. The vast majority of people working in education are on the front line, teaching in our schools.
"We are working to lift the burden of administration tasks from teachers, freeing them up so they can concentrate on what they do best - teaching and preparing lessons."
"There are several non-departmental bodies, but it's clearly right and proper that issues such as exam standards are regulated by an independent body."
Sir Terry's views were echoed by John Cridland, director general of the CBI, who said the Tesco chief's concerns were "shared by a wide range of the business community."

Homes For Sale In The Berkshires
Realtors, or real estate agents, are part of an office of agents, and each of them knows of buyers that are currently in the market for a home. People who sell their own homes often think of the process as being similar to selling a car. Tim gave us a selling consultation and is very knowledgeable about the for sale by owner craft. Owner and Operator of the Local For Sale By Owner Office in Northern Va and Surrounding Areas since 1995 helping sellers sell in a buyer's market and maximize their profit in the sale of their home.
RESNET Energy Smart Builders are leading the transformation of the housing towards high energy performance homes. Wondering if you have any helpful hints/ time lines for sale and minimal comps for a semi-rural property. Downtown Vernon has condominiums, townhouses and commercial property The homes are typically affordable in this have smaller yards and are in a great location near many amenities.
Narrow your search by price, square feet, beds, and baths to find for sale by owner homes that fit your criteria.

We decided to use Billings By Owner because our home was in the more expensive price range and, with realtor fees, would have been out of reach of most buyers. If you are pre-qualified or pre-approved for a mortgage you reduce the hurdles between you and a sale.

NI investing millions in five-year pharmacist scheme to relieve GPs
GP workload in Northern Ireland will be eased through funding for pharmacists based within practices, health minister Simon Hamilton has said.
He has pledged £2.6m a year from 2016/17, rising to £14m a year by 2020/21 for the five-year initiative.
The announcement follows sustained lobbying by the BMA to have pharmacists on hand to carry out routine medication reviews and advise patients on their medication as part of a team of GPs and practice nurses.
Mr Hamilton said the changes would make it easier for patients to get appointments with GPs, and improve their health outcomes.
He added: 'We know our GP services face rising demand for appointments and prescriptions. We also know that patients are not getting the optimal benefits from their medicines, and that there is a high level of non-adherence and waste across the UK, with up to 6% of hospital admissions due to the adverse effects of medication.'
GPs delivered 875,000 more consultations with patients in 2013/14 than in 2010/11, and there was a 42% increase in repeat prescriptions in the 10 years following 2003/4.
Mr Hamilton said: 'Critically, having a pharmacist as part of a clinical team within a practice can also relieve work pressure on GPs, freeing up time for the GP to spend with patients with more complex medical needs.'
Northern Ireland GPC chair Dr Tom Black said: 'The five-year investment will go some way to alleviating the crisis faced by GPs in Northern Ireland, whereby they are dealing with increased bureaucracy, rising patient lists and a shortfall in the number of training places available for GPs in Northern Ireland.
'Having a pharmacist based in the practice will mean that GPs are freed up to do what they need to do – see more patients.'
The scheme mirrors NHS England's £31m initiative which will see 700 practices employing pharmacists.
Readers' comments (10)
Pharmacists will improve medication reviews and will no doubt save money in the short term. However, I really do not think they will lower the GP appointment demand by much at all. Demand will gobble them up in no time and calls for more pharmacists will come. More money wasted trying to solve a problem with a problem. What we need is a way to stem and control demand, not feed it. You don't see people going to the dentist first before seeing their GP now do you ?
"Mr Hamilton said the changes would make it easier for patients to get appointments with GPs,"
I can't see more appointment being available. The only potential benefit of pharmacists working with us is to ease our massive and unsafe workload. At its best it will allow us some time to catch our breath and perhaps stop the speed of the exodus from general practice to a slight extent i.e.. It may allow us to not finish our work so late on in the day/evening but it certainly won't improve the capacity for us to see more patients.
Agree with the above comments.
It is good to see that Mr Hamilton knows that a GP service actually exists at all as the silence from Stormont about the crisis in GP in NI has been deafening to date! This token gesture will have no material effect on stemming the tide of desolation about to hit primary care in Northern Ireland, a tsunami of general practice closure is about to hit us very soon, retention problems and recruitment shortages are overwhelming the inward dribble of new GPs coming into the service just now!
Once again, Stormont has avoided the main issues causing such a huge problem in primary care, when secondary care needs new doctors they get them! When general practice needs new GPs we get pharmacists instead, enough said! I give primary care another 12-24 months more, before we see mass practice closures and total collapse of the service.
I am not a gp but the logic in this does not sound right.
Why will a pharmacist reduce the work load of a gp? It sounds like it will increase the workload as it is another person to discuss everything with and take the rap for.
Sounds like the drug companies are worried that the lack of gps may reduce the amount of prescriptions written.
Why dont they just give GPs more money then all these half brained solutions to the problem will reduce.
So stupid but I suppose not in the light that the government wants to break the 'control' doctors have over ill people.
It is unbelievable really the lengths the government is going to to break down the doctors role. So malicious and unneccesary as we all went into the profession to help ill people, well at least I did. I never expected the government to play power games against me.
i have voted tory all my life but now.......
I think for many years now the decision makers are too divorced from real time General Practice.This is foolishness
The equation is obvious to any front line GP. It will cost more and increase workload, not reduce workload.
There is also the thorny issue of indemnity. If pharmacists are seeing patients they need appropriate accountability and indemnity.GP's working with them must not take responsibility for them.
There are reasons pharmacists aren't generally employed by GPs to work as clinicians. Doing it now because political meddling has made general practice so unpopular that there aren't enough GPs and dressing it up as a solution to the rising workload (can't see it myself) instead of tackling the cause of the shortage seems very short-termist.

In states such as Pennsylvania that have no-fault divorce, except in certain circumstances, courts don't care about the parties' behavior or what led them to divorce court. In a custody dispute, however, a person's character, personal choices and bad behavior could indeed make a difference. Courts often have to decide what information is admissible in a custody hearing and what is not.
Unfortunately, this can be particularly frustrating when one side is allowed to give evidence and the other is not. For instance, evidence of the mother's prior, legal abortion was permitted. He claims the fact that the mother had the abortion makes her unfit to raise the child involved in the current custody litigation.
On the other hand, she was not allowed to introduce evidence that her ex-husband frequented massage parlors, where he allegedly solicited and paid for sex. He is said to have admitted doing so to a forensic psychologist. The judge's decisions regarding what information is admissible and what is not was characterized as "scandalous and outrageous" by the mother's attorney.
It may be some time before the outcome of this custody dispute is known. It is possible for one party to appeal a judge's decision regarding the admission of evidence. In some cases, an appellate court may reverse the lower court judge's decision. Despite everything, the goal of family courts around the country and here in Pennsylvania is to make a decision that will put the best interests of the children first after careful consideration of all competent and relevant evidence no matter what that evidence may be.

Well, I tried it and it worked. It was rather a fun process to watch too. To begin, my tub was empty of water as it had eventually all drained out. I simply sprinkled several tablespoons of baking soda into the drain, opened my bottle of white vinegar and poured some in. It bubbled like a volcano, then subsided. I left it overnight.
The next morning, I ran water down the drain and it still seemed a bit reluctant, so I used a plunger to give one gentle push and away the clog went. It is now working better than it has in the 5 months that I have lived in my apartment.
With such simple, cost effective remedies, who would want to use anything else? I hope this bit of advice blesses you as much as it did me.

Tips For Tooth Emergencies
When it comes to tooth emergencies virtually anything is possible. Dr. Chris Mott has seen everything under the sun in his Shreveport dental office. You can have your tooth cracked, chipped, loosened, or it can come off completely if you grind your teeth, bite on something hard, or when playing a sport without a proper mouthguard. Regardless of how severely the tooth is injured, it is best to consult a dentist as soon after the accident as possible. Here is a first aid guide to help you when you have a tooth emergency.
Avulsed or Knocked Out Tooth
When you have an avulsed adult tooth, it can be replanted within the first five minutes. Here, there will still be ligaments that link the tooth to the bone, and they can reattach to it. Some factors will affect the outcome like the age of the person. In case you have a completely knocked out tooth, here are tips to help you out.
- Get rid of the debris carefully from the root of the tooth. Rinse the tooth root using bottled water or from a cold tap. Ideally, hold the removed tooth by the crown and let the water run freely on the root.
- Hold the tooth by the crown using your first finger and thumb, and replant it back to its socket.
- Push it down with a constant pressure to avoid it falling off again.
Suppose the tooth cannot be replanted, try to control the bleeding and place it in water or cold milk to keep it moist. If you are treating an adult, it's best to let the tooth remain in their mouth, especially between the gums and cheeks. Consult a professional dentist as soon as you can.
If it is a baby tooth that has been knocked out, do not try replanting it. The baby tooth might affect the health of the permanent tooth. Simply try to stop the bleeding and see a dentist as soon as possible.
Broken or Chipped Tooth
Whether it is a broken primary or permanent tooth, try to find tooth fragment and attempt reattaching it with specific bonding materials. Do not attempt smoothing or filling the tooth by yourself. Also, keep in mind that the exposed nerves in the teeth can make it extra sensitive to hot and cold food and drink.
Displaced Tooth
Suppose the tooth is pushed deep into the jaw or if it is moved, consult a professional dentist soon after the injury to avoid further bleeding. Also, it will be more difficult if it is left displaced for a long time. The dentist can link the tooth to the teeth that are not affected to hold it strong. If this doesn't work, the dentist may use orthodontics to solve the problem.
Fractured or Cracked Tooth
This is a tooth injury that is similar to a broken or chipped tooth, though a fractured tooth is more damaged than a broken tooth. If you have a cracked or fractured primary or permanent tooth, do not wiggle or try removing any cracked part. Also, do not bite on it because it can be extra sensitive to temperature and pressure. Suppose the fracture of crack goes below the gum tissue, consult a professional dentist to determine what the best option is for your particular case.
Regardless of the severity of the tooth emergency, always consult a dentist for further advice. It also helps you to avoid severe damage and excessive bleeding.

CHICOPEE, Mass. – The Elms College men's basketball team used a 17-2 second-half run to erase a double-digit halftime deficit and pick up its first win of the season on Tuesday, an 84-71 triumph over Lesley in New England Collegiate Conference play.
The Blazers (1-10, 1-3 NECC) trailed 44-33 at the break and 48-37 early in the second half before the 17-2 run put them ahead, 54-50. Lesley cut that lead in half with a bucket but Elms responded with an 11-1 run to build the advantage to 65-54 with eight minutes to play. In all, the Blazers outscored the Lynx (1-10, 0-3 NECC) 28-5 over a nine minute stretch to take control of the game.
Nikolas Brown (Wellington, Fla.) was dominant for Elms, leading all players with 27 points and 15 boards. He hit 12-of-17 from the field, including his only 3-point attempt of the contest. Kewan Smoot (Windsor, Conn.) added 14 points off the bench on 5-of-7 shooting and collected eight rebounds. Justin Feliciano (Springfield, Mass.) finished with 13 points and six assists without a turnover and D.J. Edelen (Prince George, Va.) added 12 points and nine boards for the Blazers.
Elms shot 56.7 percent (17-of-30) from the field in the second half and 47.7 percent (31-of-65) for the game. Lesley built its halftime lead by shooting 53.1 percent (17-of-32) from the field in the first 20 minutes but cooled off in the second half to shoot 45.6 percent (26-of-57) for the game.
Treyvon Trent (Virginia Beach, Va.) and Joey Martin (Melbourne, Fla.) each eclipsed the 20-point mark for the Lynx. Trent led Lesley with 26 points, nine rebounds and six assists while Martin added 23 points and 10 boards.
The Blazers committed a season-low 11 turnovers in the game and forced the Lynx into 18 giveaways, leading to a 19-9 lead in points-off-turnovers for Elms. The Blazers also controlled the glass, out-rebounding Lesley 46-33, including 15-6 on the offensive end, which led to a 16-4 advantage in second-chance points.
Elms will step out of NECC play to visit Norwich on Jan. 10. Lesley will also be in action on Thursday, hosting NECC foe Eastern Nazarene.
