I Corinthians 11
by Mel Berglund
Introduction to Mel's writings:
The United Pentecostal Church is not perfect. Each local United Pentecostal congregation has it's own strengths and weaknesses. It is unreasonable to fault the entire United Pentecostal Church and its thousands of assemblies for mistakes that occur in a local gathering. It is improper and imprudent to ignore a series of complaints across our fellowship. Located at this web site are a group brothers and sisters who have been wounded in our midst. While you and I may not be the source of their hurt, we can we try to be a source of their healing. As mature believers in Christ, we adequately recognize that the church is not a showroom for faultless saints, but more often a hospital for the wounded in spirit. It is unfortunate when someone comes to our church with a genuine need, and ultimately leaves with unresolved problems and even deeper injury. I realize that the UPC is not for everyone. If someone finds that they can not embrace the doctrines of a "Oneness-Pentecostal-Holiness-Church", they should find a church that fits their beliefs. No organization can make everyone happy. Aside from that, we must admit when we have done wrong and hurt someone. The church must feel remorse and true repentance over offenses that we cause. In this spirit, I apologize for your hurt. I ask your forgiveness and pray that you will not loose faith in Jesus Christ because of His people. I do not apologize for the doctrines of the United Pentecostal Church, but rather for the way in which they may have been presented. The United Pentecostal Church strongly believes that it stands tall as a clarion of truth to the last generation. Doctrinal compromise is anathema within the ranks of the UPC, therefore patience, temperance and love must rule our spirit as the gospel is preached.
It will be noticed that many of the problems within our churches are the results of methodology used in local assemblies. (At this point I add that people are never a "problem" and should not be thought of as such. Problems are circumstances to be resolved, not people to be criticized.) Every organization has both good and bad qualities. The UPC is no exception. Problems that plague a church today may be gone next year. To deal with these local church issues, each local pastor has their own methods. In turn each district has due process for dealing with situations that spill out of the local assemblies. Some types of problems are reoccurring and appear on these web pages. The standards of the United Pentecostal seem to be a source of much of this conflict.
I have been involved with the UPC for over 30 years and I speak from the voice of experience. I personally know this church to be kind and loving in receiving me as a young man into its fellowship. I know this church as being forgiving of my failures. As a member of this church I believe in the message of the United Pentecostal Church.
I have prepared a series of Bible studies that I hope may help all of us to take a different look at some of our difficult issues, and in so doing, help us to find the grace to love one another. Up front I want to make it clear that I do not advocate:
I am opposed to legalism, but I feel that legalism is no worse than:
Therefore my advice to all who read these lessons is to:
In so doing we will never need a set of rules, for we will have become:
I welcome your comments.
Contention: (noun) debate, dispute, hostility
Paul's teaching on men's and women's hair comes to a culmination with an interesting verse found in I Corinthians 11:16:
KJV says "if any man" seem to be contentious, while the other versions translate this as "if anyone" wants to argue about this. The use in the KJV of the gender specific word: "man" impels us to ask the question: Is this possibly a gender issue?
In Strong's Concordance we see that the Greek term for "man" is not found in the original text, so the better rendering of the text must be: "if anyone".
KJV uses a phrase "we have no such custom" which appears to overrule all that Paul had just taught in the preceding 15 verses. The NIV and Living Bible give a different view to the phrase by translating these words to read: "we have no other practice" and "we never teach anything else than this". The use of the negative: "no" or "never" makes reference the object: "custom". This creates the phrase "We have no _____ custom". Into this blank the NIV fills in the word "other". However, the KJV translators chose to use the word "such". To suppose that because someone was "contentious", Paul would be willing to throw out a principle that he had just taught seems quite odd. This is especially true in light of what the Bible teaches about "contention", and what should be thrown out (see: Proverbs 22:10 at end of this study). The translation most suitable to the context is the NIV with the word "other". This shows the Apostle Paul defending what he had just taught, by saying: "If anyone wants to be contentious about this, we have no other practice".
Some have suggested that Paul is simply informing his readers of a local hair fashion popular in the city of Corinth during that time. This idea can be easily discarded by the fact that the Apostle addressed this epistle and it's contents to:
If this was just a local pagan hair style that Paul thought looked nice, why then would the Apostle chose to defend it with such lofty phrases as:
To teach that the Apostle is writing in the Bible to establish rules for the enforcement of local Greek hair trends is beyond rational thinking. This is shown by Paul warning the readers that failure to comply with this teaching would "bring shame to their head/Christ".
The term "ordinances" -KJV/"teachings" -NIV is used by Paul as he begins this section of the epistle. The Greek root used was "lahaqah" meaning: "a wish". In no other place in the KJV is this Greek word translated: "ordinance" . "Lahaqah" should not be confused with the term "ordinance" that was used by Paul in Ephesians 2:15 where he writes:
The word translated "ordinances" in the Ephesian epistle comes from the Greek word: "dogma" and not from the greek word "lahaqah". In Christ we are free from "dogma". Paul is not placing the church under a new "dogma" in I Cor. 11, but rather is making known to the "followers of Christ" something that has been "wished" for them. The one who is making this wish is not revealed, but if is not the Apostle Paul, then it is probably Christ himself.
In ending this section of his letter , Paul uses the term "custom" -KJV/"practice" -NIV to make clear the "one-accord-ness" among the followers of Christ with respect to this issue. The Greek word is "sunetheia" (sun-etheia) "mutual habit". This indicates that the "wish" expressed in these verses was a "practice" not only of Paul's, but a "mutual habit" among all of the churches.
In looking at the historical account of Paul's visit to Corinth, we find that his hair played an interesting roll during his stay there as recorded in Acts 18:18:
Paul stayed in Corinth "a good while" -KJV. As he departed Corinth , he entered into the neighboring city of Cenchrea where he proceeded to shave his head. The past tense used in the phrase "for he had a vow" indicates that the vow ended with the shaving of his head. This indicates that the Apostle had been keeping a vow while in Corinth. The shaving of the head was a Jewish custom (temporary Nazarite vow) that was sometimes made to express gratitude for God's deliverance. This practice was occasionally followed by Jewish Christians who were zealous of keeping the law as seen in this account from the church in Jerusalem:
While Paul, a Jewish convert to Christianity, would see nothing wrong with making a Nazarite vow, he would not want this practice to be brought into the church. Paul probably did not cut his hair (because of the Nazarite vow) during the "good while" that he dwelt in Corinth. This would have given the impression to the Gentile Christians in Corinth that Paul approved of longer, uncut hair on a man. While the Greek Christians at Corinth would not have understood the meaning of the Nazarite vow, they possibly would want to copy Paul's hair style. A vow typically lasted up to a year, so his hair could have been a bit shaggy about the edges. The Nazarite vow was strictly Jewish, and Paul would not want it to become a part of the Gentile church.
Later by writing to these Corinthian Christians, he sought to clear up this misunderstanding about hair. He "wishes" that the church would follow the "mutual habit" that comes from "following Christ" rather than the long hair that came from following a "Nazarite vow". Several notable figures in scripture had taken Nazarite vows. Samson and John the Baptist are the most notable among the keepers of this vow. Missing from that group would be Jesus Christ. Scripture makes it clear in Matthew 11:18 that Jesus was not a Nazarite where He says: "John came neither eating nor drinking,...The Son of Man came eating and drinking". Jesus said this in reference to the Nazarite vow that also forbade eating grapes or drinking any type of wine. Jesus was not a Nazarite, nor did He have long hair. Paul uses Jesus as the example of a short haired man when he writes: "Be ye followers (follow my example) of me even as I am also (following the example) of Christ" - I Cor. 11:1.
Paul, in making the statement: "Be ye followers of me even as I also am of Christ" seems to be putting himself on a pedestal. However, a closer examination of this verse will show that his intended message may be quite the opposite. By living under a Nazarite vow in Corinth, Paul had been following an Old Testament law. In making such a vow, he did not have Jesus Christ as his example. Jesus not only was never a Nazarite, our Lord teaches against the taking of such a vow as shown in Matt 5:36 "Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black". (KJV)
It appears that the Corinthian believers had imitated the Apostle in the the outward practice that he had inadvertantly set during his stay with them. (Remember how the Beatles affected the hair style of an entire generation?) In an effort to correct this situation Paul points to Jesus, a better example than he had been. He requests: "Follow me when I follow Christ" -paraphrased. The word "follow" is from the Greek "memetes; root: mimeomai" meaning: "imitate". This word is found in our modern term: "mimeograph". Paul is correcting his past error by encouraging the saints in Corinth to: "Seek to imitate me (only) as I am projecting the image of Christ". The Apostle Paul had not followed Christ's example in his vow by letting his hair grow. Now he seeks to set the record straight by claiming to be worthy of imitation only in that which is based upon the pattern set by Jesus. If a "Nazarite hair style" had been spawned among his loyal followers in Corinth, Paul wrote this sentence to set the record straight as to his hair length now.
Paul also writes in 1 Thessalonians 2:14 "For ye, brethren, became followers (memetes: imitators) of the churches of God which in Judaea are in Christ Jesus:" (KJV) There was a "one-accord-ness" or "similarity" among the all the believers in the early church that Paul encouraged. In respect to Paul possibly having given the wrong impression with his vow while living in Corinth: The early church and Apostles were not above error in regards to the keeping of the law. One time Peter made a similar mistake with respect to Jewish diet and Gentile believers.
In ending this section of his epistle, Paul addresses the fact that some believers might become "contentious" over this "wish" for a "mutual habit" that was "practiced" among the "followers of Christ". The ones who would likely argue against Paul's teaching would be the zealous Jewish converts. They wanted to be under the law. In the 1960s it was the hippies who argued with this particular teaching of Paul's. They did not want to be under any authority or law. In those two groups we see the two extremes of the "law-keepers" and the "law-less" both at opposition with the teachings of the Bible. In this verse, the KJV and NIV both use the term "contentious" while the Living Bible uses the word "argue". The Greek term is "philoneikos" (philo-neikos) and it means: "fond of strife".
Ample scripture is at hand from the book of Proverbs, "the book of wisdom", to shed some light upon the type of personality that is "fond of strife" and "wants to argue". (All KJV)
A Christian with this personality trait has a more serious problem than the length of their hair. While hair length may not be a matter of salvation, the contentious soul is in danger.

In Windows 8 and 8.1, software can sometimes change a PC's settings. Such changes usually aren't malicious or criminal in nature. Plenty of programs have legitimate reasons to modify a computer. Unfortunately, that's not always the case, and malicious programs do compromise a computer by changing certain settings. Microsoft included software to protect users from these instances in the form of User Account Control.
Here's an overview of UAC, including what it is and how to toggle it on or off:
What is User Account Control?
UAC is an alert system that helps protect users from malicious programs and software. When administrator-level permission is necessary for changes, the system alerts the user. Before those changes are executed, UAC requires users to read the warning messages and approve the changes. Only then are changes made, unless the user rejects the changes. This security tool is quite effective at protecting a Windows 8 system.
Choosing When Notifications Are Given
In User Account Control settings, an individual can control when the program produces alerts. The default option presents users with notifications as apps attempt to make changes to a PC. Never Notify Me blocks notifications from appearing, and all changes will be allowed in real time. On the other hand, Always Notify Me is the strictest setting. Whether administrator-level changes are being made or Windows settings are being modified, notifications will let the user know.
Turning UAC On or Off
By default, UAC is enabled at the mid-level, so users receive notifications as system changes are made. Users can effectively enable and disable User Account Control whenever they so desire. This change can be made in the settings for UAC within seconds. To turn off UAC, an individual must select the Never Notify Me option. User Account Control stops functioning because notifications won't stop changes from being made. Enabling any other option will turn UAC back on again.
UAC: An Important Tool For All Users
Basic and advanced users of Windows 8 and 8.1 can benefit from User Account Control. Most people don't realize when changes are being made to their systems. However, changes that require administrator-level permissions can wreak havoc on a computer if initiated by malicious code. A user can't hope to know when such changes are made without enabling User Account Control. The basic notification option, enabled by default, is sufficient to protect users from malicious software today.

A CITY care provider is to overhaul the way it deals with complaints.
Bield, which has 16 property complexes across the Capital and offers services including retirement housing, day care, sheltered housing and care homes, said the new process had been simplified and more accessible.
The changes reflect a model developed by the Scottish Public Services Ombudsman. The procedure has seen the number of stages in the complaints process reduced and also gives the option for customers to make a complaint to other bodies.

The piece in last week's Southern on the imminent closure of the Borders Disability Forum, following on the previously reported threatened closure of the Galashiels Focus Ability Centre, is a timely reminder of the apparent low priority given by the region to the support of severely disabled people in the Borders.
As far as the ability centre is concerned, I understand that Scottish Borders Council (SBC) believes preplanned home visits by professional home care advisors would be an adequate substitute. I believe that this seriously underestimates what would be lost by such a move.
The value of a centralised facility where people with a wide range of disabilities can meet, support, and encourage each other in a group setting cannot be replicated by home visits by professionals, no matter how well intentioned.
Further, the centre has been able to provide help with transport, arrange morale-boosting outings, and, very importantly, has been able to provide a few hours of badly needed respite for hard-pressed family carers. If the availability of such services is to be withdrawn, the sense of social isolation endured by these disabled people will surely get worse.
I do hope SBC will give due consideration to the personal costs that are going to be incurred when weighing up the financial gains that they are hoping to achieve by closing this valuable asset.

text: I just received a handbag that I won on eBay. I knew when I took it out of the box it was not in the same condition as the one pictured. The more I looked at it I could tell it had been cleaned with a harsh chemical and areas of the leather looked rubbed , gritty and dried out. The handbag was described as in excellent condition. I asked many question of the seller prior to buying the item...ie any smoke smells, stains, soiling etc. The reply was that none of the above were present that the bag was in excellent condition bla bla bla. I was also redirected to look at the pictures to see the handbag's condition by the seller. The ad also claims that the buyer needs to reveiw the pictures prior to buying as all sales are final and no refunds. The pictures of the bag in the auction looked great and seemed like they mirrored what the seller described in my emails. I have since contatced the seller and told her my thoughts and concerns. She has agreed to refund. So far so good right?????? Well, now she tells me that she will refund the money when eBay tells her that I agree to the terms of the resolution. I assume that it is equal to "mutually withdrawing" I have never gone through eBay to resolve an issue when returning an item. It is usually between the seller and myself. What route is this seller using? The only response I got from her is that she wants to have her fees from ebay refunded. Is this a strike against me? She is also refusing to refund shipping. Normally I am OK with that but, in this case it is not my fault that the "item is not as described" To make matters worse.......she has a new item just like mine listed today USING THE EXACT SAME PICS So there is NO WAY that the pictures are of the bag the buyer will receive. Yet the ad states it is. I know I am venting a little (sorry) but, I feel that this is wrong. Am I wrong here? Uggggg. I just want to figure out what is going on with this sellers actions going through ebay. Wonder if I should file "item not as described" through ebay? Any thought would be appreciated!!!!!!

How about a little Monday afternoon feelgood thread? No? Well, here's one anyway…
Sanya Richards-Ross of the United States took the gold in the women's 400 meter sprint today. At the beginning of the medal ceremony, a reporter from Spain's TVE was interviewing the fastest man in the world, Usain Bolt of Jamaica. The Star Spangled Banner started playing while the reporter tried to keep the interview going, resulting in Bolt shushing her with a reminder that an anthem had begun. Very cool. If it had been an NBC reporter, this would have been just a little more satisfying:
Olympic Bonus: Here's another reason to like Gabby Douglas… lefties are finding her faith "unnerving" — probably much in the same way Bolt's gesture unnerved America-hating Berkeley progs.

Kinda like the Vonnage commercials, "EVERYBODY bundles"; EVERYBODY stands in reverence to national anthems, yours or others. That was too cool !

Olympic Bonus:
The gold medalist is a teenager of deep faith and gratitude — and that can be a little unnerving
By Mary Elizabeth Williams
Mary Elizabeth Williams, you need to know what's going on there. As long as you feel 'unnerved' there's hope for your soul. That feeling is called "spiritual CONVICTION" and, yes it is an uncomfortable feeling. That's your soul telling you it wants what Gabby is talking about but you're consciously denying your soul's desire of acquiring what it is that her soul possesses.
It's the same for the one who stated, "I would like her more if she were not so, so, so into Jesus."

Ever since I was a little girl, I dreamed of moving to West Dundee. We had a horse nearby and I was friends with the stable owner's daughter who lived right smack in the center of downtown, facing Grafelman Park. I remember hot summers at the playground there, back when it was called Tower Park. I recall a slide, a water tower, and dragging my feet through gravel to stop the swing. That swing just felt like home.
Years later, I'd cover board meetings as a reporter for the Chicago Tribune. Every Monday night for four years, I'd drive to the old West Dundee village hall building with its creaky wooden stairs and listen to how the people in this small town ran it. No vehicle stickers? No garbage fees? Protecting open space? I loved it all the more.
Sometimes, I'd get to the meeting early, and drive around looking at the historic houses. The neighborhood that appealed to me most was Old Town. Every Monday night, I'd drive home from the meeting but I'd get this odd feeling that I was going the opposite direction of home. That all made sense when I moved here thirteen and a half years ago. I now live in Old Town.
I have an old house on a quiet, dead-end street near a gorgeous park with a gazebo. From my second story porch, I have a view of families canoeing and small fishing boats motoring by. Every morning I can watch the sun reach its rays over 100-year-old trees and reflect off the Fox River's peaceful flow. But what makes this house special is the family who lives (or lived) next door to me, a family that just moved away yesterday.
The Ottingers made it clear they were going to take care of us even before we met them. We arrived in late November. I remember trudging through leaves to get to the front door. I made a mental note to sweep once I got some cleaning done, but when I went out to do that, Nancy Ottinger had already taken care of it.
Over the years, Jack Ottinger has fixed countless things for us, helped us install a screen door, loaned us tools, gave us advice, and filled our bike tires with air in the springtime. We've enjoyed wine coolers on their deck where they have a wooden swing. I mentioned that I loved the swing, and from then on, I had "swinging rights." Whenever they were away on vacation, I'd take advantage of that.
Nancy was a combination of night watchman and mother hen. She'd call us to let us know that we left our garage door open, alert us about a nearby skunk, or any other potential harm on our street. She'd give us eggs, lettuce, butter, whatever you needed in a pinch. She mowed our lawn three times when my husband had shoulder surgery.
When they started packing, I was the recipient of many items because the Ottingers are givers. We have some of their furniture, vases, food and firewood. They won't take money for things and I've learned to stop offering because they find it offensive.
Yesterday, a young couple moved into a house that was loved and cared for by the Ottingers for over 30 years. It was odd to see these strangers in their house, but change as we know is constant, just like the flow of the Fox River. It is no longer the Ottingers' house, but as I looked over, I saw Nancy on the deck. She was, no doubt, giving instructions about the house to the new occupants. I didn't want to interrupt their conversation, but I offered a final wave from my driveway and thought, "That's just like Nancy to take care of the new owners."
I'll miss summer evenings listening to stories about Jack and Nancy when they were in high school, fun times with their friends, old cars, and pranks. As I'd listen, I'd swing on that beautiful wooden swing Jack made. We took a picture of the four of us – Jack, Nancy, my husband Tom and I – in front of the swing the day we said our goodbyes. Something about that swing just felt like home.

Latest new Hot video of Urvashi Rautela from Sara Zamana Haseeno Ka Deewana songs from Kaabil.
That was mind blowing!! We realized from that moment that we are going to get the best dance track to move to this New Year's Eve.
Watch Haseeno Ka Deewana Kaabil Video Song Here:-
A remake of the superstar Amitabh Bachchan track from Yaarana, Haseeno ka deewana was thus incredibly anticipated and now that we have viewed it, we can say it for sure, that this 31st, all the crowd are going to dance.
Sung by Payal Dev and Raftaar, the songs are really awesome.
We bet you cant control yourself from shaking your legs.
It's cool, elegant and incredibly rich looking.
The mix is also fairly trendy which will instantly ensure it is a hit with the youth.
Talking on the songs, Rakesh Roshan had mentioned, "The Haseeno Ka Deewana set was spectacular with lighting everywhere, a special dance set.
But when Urvashi stepped in, her elegance, presence and energy made the set up more than the lighting and she regenerated the miracle of the songs easily !
Urvashi was very anxious to remake songs that has been shot on the everlasting Mr. Bachchan.
However, she gave it her all and the end outcome will be a super hit in people's thoughts.
This is going to be the celebration anthem for sure and individuals will dance at night clubs throughout the celebration year of 2016-17 and beyond." And we don't doubt that at all.

This is a sponsored post in which I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. This post also contains affiliate links. All opinions are 100% my own.
Parenting In The Real World
Everyone has their own opinions on the best ways to parent – much like everyone has their own way of boiling an egg. Whatever it takes to get the job done – and no way is any better than other. But, it never hurts to gain perspective on someone else's method. I had the chance to review the new book, it's full title being "Parenting In The Real World; The Rules Have Changed. Drop The Guilt. Handle Any Parenting Situation in 7 Simple Steps." A mouthful-but isn't that what parenting is?
That's the feel I get from this book. yes, it's written by a Clinical Psychologist, but it's also written by a Mother. So these suggestions aren't coming just from a professional viewpoint-but a real parenting perspective. The scenarios are real, and the solutions have a truthful ring to them. Another value I appreciate, is the lack of scientific jargon – it's easy to relate to the situations in this book, and easy to understand how to implement her ideas on handling them.
Real Situations For All Ages
Another thing I love about this book, along with the fact it uses real life issues all parents face (miscommunication, respect, establishing limits). It's appropriate for any age! Whether your children have grown into their tweens, or just starting out as toddlers (like mine), you can use the pointers and tactics in this book for the rest of their childhood. And an additional thing I love about this book-all the emphasis isn't solely placed on children. This isn't a "how to make your kids better" kind of book. The tips inside can help you become a better parent. We all need reminders to help guide us along the way. And this is a no-judgement book, so every suggestion is given with a comfortable tone.
I've never seen this in a parenting book before, but Parenting In The Real World is actually interactive! You download a QR Code reader on your smartphone, and when each section is scanned, you will be taken to a video for that chapter. It really adds to the personal aspect of this book, and it's author.
When I was pregnant, I read a lot of books. Baby books, bratty kid books, "how not to be a crappy parent" books. This wasn't anything like those. This is good. This book is real. And I totally recommend it to anyone just looking for a fresh perspective on this whole parenting thing.
You can buy this book,Parenting in the Real World: The Rules Have Changed. Drop the Guilt. Handle Any Parenting Situation in 7 Simple Steps. exclusively on Amazon now! But a little bird has told me that Kindle Downloads will be available on Feb. 14th – if you want to be the first to get that link for a *LIMITED TIME ONLY* free download, join my email subscriber list! It won't last long!

And, of course, I want to thank Dr. Stephanie O'Leary, for letting me review this awesome book! I really do think everyone can benefit from reading this, and incorporating her tips into their daily parenting lives.

Welcoming the Moment:
Welcoming this and each moment, wholeheartedly and open-mindedly. This can happen only if one is free, fresh and is guided by the natural innate wisdom in all Life and Nature.
It also depends on our mode of being and the momentary perspective. One has to be free of previous experiences and future expectations. One never sees the same sunset twice. In fact, nothing repeats in Life or Nature. That is a great wonder!
All events and moments are arbitrary. We define them from moment to moment, based on our past experiences, needs, wants, fears, and intentions. We create the momentary world of our experience. The absolute reality cannot be perceived and described. Some sages simply call it, "That." Some scientists call it, "Holomovement."
In order to understand the wonder of "That," one has to learn to be free and freshly present to welcome this and every moment or event with full awareness, curiosity, care, cheerfulness, compassion and respect.
"That" is ever-present!
Welcome it!

On Learning
- Learning by pleasure or pain and choice (Classical conditioning).
- Learning by observing others and copying (Mirror neuron system).
- Learning by sensory-motor behavior and experience (self-situational interactions).
- Learning by attending intentionally to specific objects and events, which create subject-object duality and memory-based experience, cognition-emotion and a narrative, a self-story or an autobiography.
- Learning by presence or being fully present now, which is spontaneous, effortless, nondual and holistic. It can generate self-understanding, intuition, creativity, peace, love and wisdom.

At-ease with self and at-home in the Infinite!
Accepting the transient imperfections of
body, mind, ego and the world.
Self-understanding is the learning from one's experience of the body, mind, ego, and the world. It is the mirror in which one looks at oneself and knows the truth of Life.
We are nested in Nature.
Life is a daily gift.
Life is a gift of Nature!
Nature is the best therapy!
October 21, 2016
We are an act of Nature as well.
We are not separate.
We are an integral part of the Whole.
Nature acts as a whole, as a single entity or a system.

Psyche and Psychical Energy
APA dictionary defines Psyche and Psychical or Mental Energy as follows:
Psyche in psychology, the mind in its totality, as distinguished from the physical organism. The term also refers to the soul or the very essence of life.
Psychical Energy in psychoanalytic theory, the dynamic force behind all mental processes. According to Sigmund Freud, the basic sources of this energy are the instincts or the drives that are located in the ID and seek immediate gratification according to the pleasure principle. Carl Jung also believed there is a reservoir of psychic energy, but objected to Freud's emphasis on the pleasurable gratification of biological instincts and emphasized the means by which this energy is channeled into the development of personality and the expression of cultural and spiritual values.
When I am,
I am in Nature;
When I am not,
I am Nature.

to grow into Mango and a Mango
to grow into a Jack-fruit.

The observed is within the observer.
All of my experience is within me.
We are leaves of one tree.
We know what it feels like to be a leaf.
Do we know what it feels like
to be the whole tree,
which we truly are?
True freedom is freedom from
the known and the knower.
They are twins.
They are born together,
and they dissipate together.
All that you know is not new;
the new is now.
Be Present!
Truth is now;
Be present!
It is in our back yard all the time.
We just don't notice it.
We are too busy digging our front yard.
We have to redirect and pay attention to
The timeless infinite within.
Empty of memory,
Full of awareness!
All of my experience is within me.
Discover the unoccupied presence.
That is the greatest wonder!
Try it.
Unoccupied presence!
Discover it.
All of my experience is
within me.
Stay alert and hungry
to know and understand
what's happening.
I have limitless energy and time for everything,
because I am not preoccupied with anything;
I have no fixed agenda or expectations;
I am fully present in the reality, as is!
Eventless Awareness
Formless, soundless, timeless,
Selfless presence!
An all-inclusive energy-awareness-being!
How real it is. All else is just a dream.
All-inclusive consciousness,
Living, throbbing, and a limitless consciousness!
Nothing more to do or to attain.
It is what it is, the essential perfection.
It is spontaneous, endless, voiceless, waveless,
Flawless, breath-taking, motionless, directionless,
Desireless, choiceless, fearless, angerless,
Painless and deathless!
It is all that is, the actuality!
Every experiential event points to
The eventless awareness
That we truly are, in essence.

Google have released an update to their Maps for Mobile application, which brings Assisted-GPS to handsets which lack hardware GPS receivers. Called "My Location", it triangulates a user's position via proximity to cell towers, plotting estimated position on a map downloaded via the phone's data connection.
Check out a video of the app in action, after the cut…
Since the technology is not as accurate as true GPS, Google indicate a "margin of error" which can be anything from 500 to 2,000 feet. The My Location technology is available on most smartphones, including all color BlackBerry devices, all Symbian Series 60 3rd Edition devices, most Windows Mobile devices, newer Sony Ericsson devices and some Motorola devices.
While Google state there are no privacy concerns, as personally identifiable information is not collected or stored, the system does take advantage of other users with GPS-enabled cellphones to refine their accuracy. If you then go on to use Maps for Mobile to search for a store or other location, Google will pair up your position with that search query.

sustainable kosher healthy
Years of fishing, surfing, sailing, I became a natural lover of the sea and everything that sea provided for us. After finishing my engineering degree in "aquaculture of marine products", I was determined to operate my own fish farm. It took me 4 years but I did it.
My farm was in a beautiful cove called Doganbey Gulf, right in the middle of the Aegean Coast. Growing my own fish taught me a lot about true healthy farmed fish. This is why when I deal with suppliers for the market, I know exactly what questions to ask and check the quality of the products we receive.
"I was literally 5 years old when I first caught fish with my dad" said
Bilge Sapanli, the Co-Owner of MediterraFISH. "I was hooked:)"

Employment trends – Are there more jobs in Chittagong?
Chittagong is the second largest city of Bangladesh and is the main port city of the country. Which means there will be plenty of jobs in Chittagong. The city is also home to many of Bangladesh's largest and oldest companies, as well as the Chittagong Tea Auction and Stock Exchange. Meaning there will be a large number of job vacancies in Chittagong if you work in finance or banking. Two of the main commercial districts of the city, Agrabad and Sadarghat, play host to most of the city's major businesses. Multinational banks like HSBC, Citibank and Standard Chartered are headquartered in this area. If you work in Banking, you'll find plenty of careers in Chittagong. Many of Bangladesh's leading companies have their headquarters in the city, including: M. M. Ispahani Limited, BSRM, KDS Group and T. K. Group of Industries.
Modern day Chittagong is a major hub of industry and trade thanks in part to the city's natural harbour and lively port. If you work for the car industry there's never been a better time to consider moving to Chittagong. The city home to the state-owned Pragati Industries which assembles Mitsubishis, the new Proton manufacturing plant will be opening soon, providing a heap of brand new jobs in Chittagong. The city can also offer plenty of job opportunities to people working in logistics and on the docks. The port of Chittagong is one of the busiest ports in South Asia. The port handled more than $60 billion worth of cargo in 2011, and in 2013 it was ranked as the most efficient port in Asia.
City overview
Chittagong is Bangladesh's second largest city and the main port city, so the fact that the city is one of the fastest growing metropolises in the world should come as no surprise. Chittagong has had a long and colourful history, it was the gateway to Bengal for centuries. The area was initially ruled by the Bengal Sultanate, but the leadership of the region has changed many times since then. The Arakanese and the Mughal Empire were both at one stage between the 14th and 18th centuries in charge of Chittagong. The city eventually fell under British rule, until the Bangladeshi independence. Historically the city had been an important base for Portuguese traders. Transportation in the city is similar to that of the capital Dhaka. Large avenues and roads are found throughout the city. Chittagong is serviced by various bus companies, taxis as well as some smaller "baby" or "CNG" taxis (a type of tricycle-structured motor vehicle), manual rickshaw. Recently the Chittagong development authority has undertaken some development plans to ease congestion in the city. New highways, flyovers and expressways (for example the Chittagong City Outer Ring Road) will be constructed and other important roads will be expanded. The city has only one airport, the Shah Amanat International Airport.
If you're looking to move to Chittagong, it's worthwhile having some idea as to the cost of living and what kind of education and healthcare services are available. Renting a one bedroom apartment in the city centre will (on average) cost 10,000 Bangladeshi Taka per month, and your basic utilities will likely set you back 2,000 Taka per month. If you're keen to cut back on living expenses and are fine with a commute, a one bedroom apartment outside the city centre might be more suited to you. The average monthly rental cost of an apartment outside the city centre is 6,666.76 Taka. The cost of a monthly rail pass is 600 Taka and a meal at an inexpensive restaurant is roughly 150. All of these expenses are fairly low considering the average monthly after tax salary is 30,000 Taka. The health care in Chittagong is as good as the rest of the country and the city houses several prominent hospitals, including the Chittagong General Hospital which was established in 1901. Chittagong has a variety of private and government schools, as well as some international schools and English medium schools. The city is also home to many of the country's top universities including the Chittagong College, which was established in 1869.
What job opportunities are on offer in Chittagong?
Chittagong is one of the fastest growing cities in the world. Which means there is plenty of opportunity for everyone. If you're looking for a job in Chittagong you're in luck as there are new jobs being posted every day in a variety of industries. Thanks to its excellent education infrastructure, the number of job opportunities for people who work in education is impressive. If you're skills are more tailored to work with your hands, you'll find plenty of manufacturing jobs in Chittagong. As the city is also home to a burgeoning finance sector, you'll be happy to learn that there are several vacancies working in finance and banking.
If you're looking to make your next big move in Bangladesh, it's probably a good idea for you to check out Chittagong. The city has a lot to offer thanks to its massive port, impressive financial sector and strong manufacturing, there will be job opportunities in Chittagong for everyone. Don't delay, apply online and find your dream job.

People and Society
Our goal is publish books that engage the public, empowering not disenfranchising, conceptualizing well-being and resiliency, not only for individuals, but for people in their neighborhoods and in the global community.
At Garn Press we are determined to participate in the peaceful struggle for economic, racial and gender equality, and for the cessation of violence and armed conflict. We take seriously the democratic imperative to challenge the avarice and greed of large global corporations, and the misuse of power by Federal and State governments in the US and the re-establishment of feudalism in the UK.
Garn Press is interested in books that inhabit that uncomfortable space between people and policy makers. Our mission is making knowledge work for social action, and through the global publication of hardcover, paperback and eBooks, Garn Press supports peaceful social movements for human rights and social justice. In this time of grand challenges when our human fabric is being stretched and strained, Garn Press is convinced that actionable knowledge which begins with knowing is of critical importance.
Garn Press asks, for example, why so many books on people and society that are well-reasoned and supported by science are banned and their authors denigrated? Ironically, many of these books focus on the ways in which we educate our children and the irreparable damage that can be caused by the high stakes tests associated with the Common Core. Garn Press is interested in the circumstances that allow such book banning to occur, and also in the consequences for the public because of their disenfranchisement by the authoritative manipulation of what is written and what is read.
Garn Press is particularly interested in cautionary tales about the obfuscation of information through textual maneuvers that are carefully orchestrated to cover up those slips of the pen that are made to maintain the privilege and power of a few — this especially includes books that uncover the nefarious practices of corporate reformers and the concerted effort that is underway to dismantle public schools and privatize them.
At Garn Press we take seriously, as Iris Murdoch writes, that "Words are the most subtle symbols which we possess and our human fabric depends upon them." Garn Press also heeds Murdoch's warning that "The living and radical nature of language is something which we forget at our peril."
When language is manipulated, thought processes are disrupted. Often without knowing it, people are forced to change. Thinking is not the same, and when people think differently the society in which they live is changed.
Garn focus is on the ceaseless controversies across the social spectrum of issues that define the age in which we live, and publishes books on the what, how, and who of them, and of course the why of them.
Our goal is publish books that engage the public, empowering not disenfranchising, conceptualizing well-being and resiliency, not only for individuals, but for people in their neighborhoods and in the global community.

/nb; original summary-slash-prologue goes;
"I don't even need the Tetsusaiga to take on that thing, Miroku. You watch while I beat it to a pulp." InuYasha said, eyeing up the hulking grey beast that took up a massive section of the old batlefield. "That bet is on. Just don't come crying to me afterwards when you lose."
so onwards and upwards!
'Honestly,' Kagome berated, even as their feet touched the solid ground at the base of the well, 'I don't know what you were even thinking. You clearly were doomed to lose that bet as soon as it was even mentioned, so why did you even try?'
'Will you quit nagging me, Kagome?' InuYasha muttered, still arrogant despite his serious injuries, he was leaning a little heavier than he would care to admit on her with an arm over her shoulders.
'And now look at the state of you!' Kagome continued over the top of him, pretending not to hear anything. 'I should almost leave you down here, you know.'
'I can get out on my own.' He grumbled as she started on the ladder, and he leapt out, landing a little rougher than he normally would, and staggered a little sideways into the wall, resting his head against it, attempting to tune out Kagome's voice.
'So what did you lose to Miroku?' Kagome asked, appearing over the lip of the well, and hauling herself over it.
'Nothing.' InuYasha said, looking away.
'And what were you going to gain from it?' She asked, striding over to him and gingerly slipping under his left arm, avoiding his wrist.
A grin crossed the hanyou's face. 'He was gonna stop feeling up women for ten days.'
'Ooh, good one.' Kagome murmured without realizing, forgetting InuYasha was close enough to hear. 'I-I mean, you shouldn't have gone through with it!'
They started walking towards the exit, taking the steps rather carefully, and she slid the door open with a flourish, revealing the modern day Tokyo, and the Higurashi Shrine in broad daylight.
'So what? I could take him.'
'Who, the ogre, or Miroku?' Kagome slid the door shut behind them with her foot, and they walked towards the house.
'Both, that was the idea.'
'Not without Tetsusaiga, you couldn't.'
'I didn't need it.'
She gave him a skeptical glance as they approached the house. 'You clearly did. The ogre had a weapon; you needed one too to be on equal footing.'
'A club doesn't count as a weapon.'
'No, it's merely the blunt object that cracked your skull.'
InuYasha rolled his eyes. 'What's your point?'
'In two places. Seriously, you should be at the very least on the ground.'
'Only a weakling human would be.'
They reached the house, and awkwardly made their way inside, Kagome kicking off her shoes in the process.
'What about your arms?' Kagome shot back. 'Or your ribs? I don't know what could have possibly been going through your mind when you faced that thing.'
'Will you get off my back? It's over. Give me four days, and I'll be back to normal. Geez. You act like this is serious.'
Kagome missed her footing on the last step at that last remark, stumbling a few steps before she could regain her balance.
'Watch what you're doing, Kagome.' InuYasha shot, having been forced to stumble with her, managing to knock his free elbow against the opposing wall, sending pain lancing from the tips of his fingers to the base of his skull.
'How about you take your own advice?' Kagome retorted, sending a worried glance at him so fast he almost missed it.
'I'm not the one stumbling around like a klutz.'
'You're just the one who's so concussed he can't even stand up straight.'
They made it to Kagome's door at the end of the hall, and went through it, where InuYasha promptly let go of the girl, tried to take the few steps to sit on her bed normally, only to fail miserably after the first, and collapsed a little miserably into a pile upon it.
'Yeah.' Kagome said sarcastically, raising an eyebrow, looking at him. 'You're a real trooper.' She sighed. 'But I'm allowed to worry, aren't I?' She said under her breath, gazing at him, and sitting down in her office chair. 'You know, when you have a head injury, you're not supposed to sleep, alright?' She said, addressing the guy.
He gave no response, his face was hidden by his folded arms, but his triangular ears twitched slightly.
She watched for a long moment, before turning away. 'Well, I suppose a few minutes couldn't hurt.'
'Kagome?' Three girls shockedly chorused at the sight of the girl appearing through the white school gate, the bell suddenly chiming, drowning them out.
Kagome didn't seem to hear them, instead opting to distractedly shifting her gaze from her a point about three feet in front of her to the school's main doors.
The three girls approached her nervously, only one of them being brave enough to lay a hand on her shoulder ('Kagome?'), only to see the girl start, and spin to face them.
'Wh-oh, hey guys. What's up?' Kagome responded, stopping walking and turned to face them.
'We could ask you the same thing.' Yuki said, looking her up and down.
'Are you okay?' Eddi said, 'You're looking a little distracted.'
'Are you waiting for the test results to come back?'
'Test?' Kagome exclaimed, suddenly looking slightly ashen. 'What test? Was it big?'
'Well apparently it was something to do with your bones or something. You should drink more milk, Kagome.' Ayumi said.
'Oh, that. Uh, yeah, they were fine.' Kagome replied, returning to her normal colour.
'So what are you so worried about?' Eddi said.
'Is it something to do with your family, or your guy or something?'
'Oh, uh, it's nothing.' Kagome said, then looked around suddenly. 'Hey, didn't I hear the bell a minute ago? We'll be late!'
And with that, she scuttled off, leaving her friends to chase after her.
Ten minutes later she was inside her classroom, staring aimlessly out the window, barely listening to the announcements for the week.
Images of the ogre she had seen not three days ago were flashing through her mind again; it's surprisingly thick skin making enough of a defense to get a few very decent swings in before InuYasha drew his sword.
She shook her head. How could he be so thick headed?
Blinking, she looked around, to see Ayumi next to her shooting her a worried glance, as the announcements entered her hearing.
'... will be open next week. Just a reminder that First Aid training will be available to anyone who wants it. Today's the last day for signing up; it's a one-weekend course happening this weekend. The tennis club will be having...'
First Aid training? Kagome thought. That could be useful, in case a certain blockhead wants to do something stupid again.
The more she thought about it, the more she thought it was a good idea, and it brightened her morning considerably as she went through her morning classes.
Between that and worrying about InuYasha himself, Kagome forgot completely that her friends would attempt to corner her the first chance they got, and as soon as the first bell rang for lunch, they turned on her.
Upon leaving the classroom they cornered her, and their faces clearly weren't taking no for an answer.
'What's wrong, Kagome?'
'Oh, uh, nothing. I'm just a little stressed at the moment.'
'About what?' Yuki said.
'You look like someone's been in an accident.' Ayumi said, 'are you alright?'
'Well, yeah.-'
'Really? Who?' Eddi said.
'It wasn't your grandfather, was it?' Ayumi said.
'No, no, he's fine.'
'Then who was it?'
'Was it your boyfriend?' Yuki said, crossing her arms.
'Uh, yeah,'
'What happened?' The three said in unison, staring at her intently.
An ogre? No, I can't say that. 'He, fell down a flight of stairs.' Kagome said, her eyes settling on the nearby stairs.
'Is he okay?' Ayumi said worriedly, but Yuki and Eddi clearly looked unhappy at the lack of excitement.
'Yeah, he'll be fine. Give him a few days and he'll be back to normal. He's a fireball of energy.' Kagome said, feeling sure of that if nothing else.
However the predicament she had found herself in a few days ago had been just a little heart-wrenching.
There had just been so much blood...
'Well that's good to hear.' Ayumi said, cutting across her thoughts. 'Maybe you should sign up for the First Aid class?'
'I was just about to do that. Now, if you'll excuse me,' Kagome said, sidling past them and over to the notice board on the other side of the hall, where the signup sheets were gathered.
Hey guys! :D I know it's been a while, sorry about that, but as promised, here's the new fic I've been working on!
I've been suuuper busy with my new job and uni is starting to shovel on the workload, so I'm surprised I managed to squeeze in enough time to breathe (no pun intended), let alone write.
So here you go, let me know what you think. It's a little cheesy, I know, but I've been dying to write it for the last two and a half months :).
Love you all, I hope for reviews!
Ps, also a shoutout to my other story I'm putting up here called "The Tale of Magnir", which is sort of a crossover between InuYasha and Aah! My Goddess! (spelling varies on that one, lets see if I can slip them all in! :P), however there is absolutely no required knowledge about Ah! My Goddess! necessary to understand what's going on, the entire thing's in the world of InuYasha, and everything about Oh! My Goddess! is explained completely, only some of the main characters even appear at all (and they only make a cameo, rather than an actual role.). I only created an OC from the world of Aah! Megami-sama!, and he plays a larger role, he's one of my favourite oc characters I've ever written about :P

"MY MAN" Santana Ft. Mary J Blige and Big Boi
Carlos Santana's follow-up to his career defining comeback CDs, Supernatural and Shaman, with a 3rd consecutive Top 5 album, All That I Am. Once again, Santana's soulful and elegant guitar solos were highlighted by a multiple of guest vocalists. The two lead singles, "I'm Feeling You" with Michelle Branch and "Just Feel Better" with Steven Tyler of Aerosmith received tremendous airplay but many of the deeper album cuts were just as phenomenal. "Twisted" with Anthony Hamilton and "Trinity" that matched the Mexican guitar legend with Metallica's Kirk Hammett and blues giant, Robert Randolph stand out on the CD. But the song with the greatest potential to be a huge single was the combination of Big Boi and Sleepy Brown from Outkast and Mary J. Blige on the funkiest love song of the year. "My Man" is the perfect mixing pot of musical genres and if you're a fan of Mary or Outkast, it's a lost classic that's an essential addition to your greatest hits playlist.
"ALL THAT I GOT IS YOU" Ghostface Killah Ft. Mary J Blige
Mary J. Blige is no stranger to duets with a member of the Wu Tang Clan. "All That I Need" with Method Man remains one of the seminal crossover hip hop love songs since its debut in 1994. Two years later, Ghostface Killah released his solo project, Ironman. The lead single was a deeply emotional tribute to his mother who despite hard times always provided the best life possible for her son. "All That I Got" sampled the Jackson Five's "Maybe Tomorrow" and by adding the soulful vocals of Mary J Blige who takes the song to another level. The single never cracked the Top 50 in the U.S. was much more popular overseas. The official music video was shot using a back-up Wu Tang Clan singer named Tekitha in Mary's role as she was unavailable for shooting that day, but I've included the original audio version instead.

Academia.edu, one of the most successful commercial platforms in this area, claims 33 million people have signed up their service, sharing 10 million uploaded papers on a site which enjoys 36 million unique visitors a month.
How can researchers, particularly those at the beginning of their academic careers, make effective use of academic social networking sites? What is the difference between sharing papers on a commercial platform such as Academia.edu, and open access publication and dissemination through institutional repositories or non-commercial services? What are the benefits and pitfalls of using academic social networks?
Danny Kingsley from the University's Office of Scholarly Communication will lead a discussion on these questions and more.

> Shen Xian Ju Shaobing
Add:302 Xiangjisi Rd
This cooked cake, or shaobing, dubbed "Chinese pizza" has a golden yellow, crispy crust, a mouth-watering smell and comes in savory and sweet varieties. Unlike pizza's toppings, shaobing is stuffed with preserved vegetables and meat.Considered a grassroots, typical Chinese snack and breakfast food, shaobing rarely appears on menus of restaurants.
It is usually sold on streets, especially in residential communities. Shen Xian Ju is a low-profile store that offers the treat. Customers often line up in front of the oven waiting for batches of hot, fresh shaobing to emerge. During the wait, they can watch the vendors making it - inserting stuffing into the dough, rolling it into round or elliptical shapes, and topping it with black or white sesame seeds. Then, they put the dough inside the oven.

Let's say your department or company has a problem and needs a creative solution. A common approach is to gather your best people in a room to brainstorm. Ideas are batted around, and, in theory, the best answer emerges.
But it doesn't always work that way. Plenty of research has shown the limitations of brainstorming as members can only talk in turn. Groups tend to generate fewer ideas than individuals.
Psychologist Tony McCaffrey has a solution to our troubled search for solutions. He calls it brainswarming, which he has trademarked. His pilot research has found that brainswarming generates more than four times as many ideas as brainstorming.
A group starts with a large surface — perhaps a whiteboard — and puts a goal at the top of it. A few resources to address the problem are listed at the bottom. No talking is allowed. Participants communicate their ideas through Post-It Notes that are added to the work space.
While it may seem silly to not talk, the limits of conventional brainstorming make it clear we should be trying something different. There are several improvements with McCaffrey's approach.
There's a natural division of labor as people can focus on what they're best at. A top-down thinker might work near the top of the chart, while others may work at the bottom on thinking of potential resources. This alleviates the inefficiency of traditional brainstorming, where the conversation is focused on a single topic.
With brainswarming, the ideas of introverts aren't as likely to languish like in traditional conversations, where extroverts tend to grab the floor. All ideas stand on equal footing, a single Post-It Note placed on the board.
Worthy ideas brought up early in a meeting won't be forgotten as a wealth of new ideas crowd the conversation later. These ideas will always be on the board, for everyone to notice and consider.
If you try this approach, let me know how it works for you. Here's a video with more details:
