Proposed merger with WikiProject Amboseli Biosphere Reserve Project[edit]
Given the scope of the above project falls entirely within the scope of this project, and that this project has assessment and a few other advantages over that project as a project, I propose and support merging that project into this one. John Carter (talk) 17:16, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
- I would support such a merger. As you say it makes sense since the Amboseli Biosphere Reserve Project falls totally within the scope of the WikiProject Kenya. --BelovedFreak 22:08, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
Respectfully disagree with merger[edit]
As the lead author of the Amboseli Biosphere Reserve WikiProject, I'd vote to NOT merge it into the new WikiProject Kenya for several of reasons, namely:
>> The Amboseli ecosystem represents about 0.1% of the land area of Kenya. To have the project as what would appear to be the first substantive entry would seem to be a bit of tail-wagging-dog.
>> The Amboseli Biosphere Reserve WikiProject is intended inter alia to be a workspace for information exchange and updates by stakeholders in the ecosystem, as well as a source of information for the 'rest of the world'. I fear it would lose the first focus if it were embedded in another project.
>> At the moment, the WikiProject Kenya is more of a stub than a project, a good idea than a source of information. The project, in my view, should start with some substantive information on geography, ecology, history and sociology of the whole country, rather than a quite specialised coverage of one of its corners.
>> Given the current political situation, it would seem, quite frankly, frivolous to show-case an albeit important wildlife-based ecosystem, rather than reporting on the situation: time lines, causes, current status, prognosis. See, for example, Ushahidi.
I do think the WikiProject Kenya is a good idea, as it would be for all countries. I wonder if the overall WikiEditors would consider providing a general country template on which information could be hung?
Hope that helps.
Best regards, Harvey Croze

- While I can understand the reservations, I believe the following considerations are extremely relevant.
- As it stands, the Amboseli project is clearly and obviously eligible for deletion. One minimum requirement is that a project have at least one listed member. At present, that project has none whatsoever, not even the above editor. This despite the fact that the above project has existed for almost a year. At present, I respectfully regret to say that that project is more than eligible for outright deletion right now. Personally, I do not believe that the rather long tether that project has been given to date will necessarily be extended much further, before deletion is considered. It's utter inability to gain even a single member over that period is, I believe, more than enough evidence to verify that that project itself is little more than an attempt at a project, and apparently a failed attempt. The fact that the above editor is also one of the few if any editors invovled, and that he is the author of a book which that project apparently deems as one of its primary source materials, also could be seen as calling into question the motivation behind the project, and whether it might, unfortunately, be a self-publicization effort. That could be another motivation for deletion. I respectfully submit that that project, as it currently exists, completely fails at even the most basic level, that being a key to collaboration. Despite having existed for only days short of a full year, it is still to all appearances a one-man effort. John Carter (talk) 13:58, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
Changes to the WP:1.0 assessment scheme[edit]
As you may have heard, we at the Wikipedia 1.0 Editorial Team recently made some changes to the assessment scale, including the addition of a new level. The new description is available at WP:ASSESS.
- The new C-Class represents articles that are beyond the basic Start-Class, but which need additional references or cleanup to meet the standards for B-Class.
- The criteria for B-Class have been tightened up with the addition of a rubric, and are now more in line with the stricter standards already used at some projects.
- A-Class article reviews will now need more than one person, as described here.
Each WikiProject should already have a new C-Class category at Category:C-Class_articles. If your project elects not to use the new level, you can simply delete your WikiProject's C-Class category and clarify any amendments on your project's assessment/discussion pages. The bot is already finding and listing C-Class articles.
Please leave a message with us if you have any queries regarding the introduction of the revised scheme. This scheme should allow the team to start producing offline selections for your project and the wider community within the next year. Thanks for using the Wikipedia 1.0 scheme! For the 1.0 Editorial Team, §hepBot (Disable) 21:37, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
Wikipedia 0.7 articles have been selected for Kenya[edit]
Wikipedia 0.7 is a collection of English Wikipedia articles due to be released on DVD, and available for free download, later this year. The Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team has made an automated selection of articles for Version 0.7.
We would like to ask you to review the articles selected from this project. These were chosen from the articles with this project's talk page tag, based on the rated importance and quality. If there are any specific articles that should be removed, please let us know at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.7. You can also nominate additional articles for release, following the procedure at Wikipedia:Release Version Nominations.
A list of selected articles with cleanup tags, sorted by project, is available. The list is automatically updated each hour when it is loaded. Please try to fix any urgent problems in the selected articles. A team of copyeditors has agreed to help with copyediting requests, although you should try to fix simple issues on your own if possible.
We would also appreciate your help in identifying the version of each article that you think we should use, to help avoid vandalism or POV issues. These versions can be recorded at this project's subpage of User:SelectionBot/0.7. We are planning to release the selection for the holiday season, so we ask you to select the revisions before October 20. At that time, we will use an automatic process to identify which version of each article to release, if no version has been manually selected. Thanks! For the Wikipedia 1.0 Editorial team, SelectionBot 22:55, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
African cinema task force[edit]
An African cinema task force has been proposed at WikiProject Films, which would include the cinema of Kenya. Interested editors are encouraged to sign up - if there is enough interest, then the task force will be created! Many thanks, Girolamo Savonarola (talk) 03:43, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
Based on a search of Wikipedia's articles related to Kenya, I've found some articles that I believe are about places in Kenya, and could usefully have geographical coordinates added.
The articles in question are listed in Category:Kenya articles missing geocoordinate data. At the time of writing, some examples included:
- Meru Central District
- Meru North District
- Nairobi City Stadium
- Naro Moru river
- Nzoia River
- Rahimtulla Tower
- Solar Ice Rink
...and there are many more, as well. At the time of posting this notice, there were 145 articles in this category needing geographical coordinates.
Why add coordinates?[edit]
By adding coordinates, a Wikipedia reader can easily view the location on a street map, nautical chart, topographic map, by satellite photo, realtime weather map, and in many other ways. Coordinate data makes an article eventually appear in various services such as Google Maps' Wikipedia overlay, Google Earth, and Wikipedia's own internal map service. Coordinate data also helps readers looking for geographically-based data, such as locations near a reference point, or related information.
How can I do it?[edit]
The articles are all marked with {{coord missing}} tags, which need to be replaced with {{coord}} tags that contain the location's latitude/longitude coordinates; or you might be able to add coordinates to an existing infobox. You can find out how to do this at the Wikipedia:Geocoding how-to for WikiProject members.
Please let me know if this is useful, or if I can help in any way. -- The Anome (talk) 22:43, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
Which photos are needed?[edit]
Since I'm staying in Kenya until August next year I can help out with photos. So if there are any requests for photos or anything else, just let me know. At best per email. --ElRaki (talk) 14:18, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
New article[edit]
I added the new article Juma and the Magic Jinn to this WikiProject. -- Suntag ☼ 18:09, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
Coordinators' working group[edit]
Hi! I'd like to draw your attention to the new WikiProject coordinators' working group, an effort to bring both official and unofficial WikiProject coordinators together so that the projects can more easily develop consensus and collaborate. This group has been created after discussion regarding possible changes to the A-Class review system, and that may be one of the first things discussed by interested coordinators.
All designated project coordinators are invited to join this working group. If your project hasn't formally designated any editors as coordinators, but you are someone who regularly deals with coordination tasks in the project, please feel free to join as well. — Delievered by §hepBot (Disable) on behalf of the WikiProject coordinators' working group at 05:47, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
Redone Deleted Article[edit]
I had an article on The Village Market Nairobi speedily deleted under G11( Blatant Advertisement). After some discussion i have redone the page and tried to make it factual and removed the opinionated language. I would like you to look at the draft for any criticism. This is the redone article and I don't want to save and upload it lest it is deleted again. Check it out here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Wamaina/The_Village_Market. I have just discovered that i can edit articles and add more to put out more information on Kenyan stuff and things. There's so much that is needed done.Wamaina (talk) 19:49, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
This Talk page is rather quiet. Seems it takes a long time to get a discussion going on here.Wamaina (talk) 17:25, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
Article alerts[edit]
This is a notice to let you know about Article alerts, a fully-automated subscription-based news delivery system designed to notify WikiProjects and Taskforces when articles are entering Articles for deletion, Requests for comment, Peer review and other workflows (full list). The reports are updated on a daily basis, and provide brief summaries of what happened, with relevant links to discussion or results when possible. A certain degree of customization is available; WikiProjects and Taskforces can choose which workflows to include, have individual reports generated for each workflow, have deletion discussion transcluded on the reports, and so on. An example of a customized report can be found here.
If you are already subscribed to Article Alerts, it is now easier to report bugs and request new features. We are also in the process of implementing a "news system", which would let projects know about ongoing discussions on a wikipedia-wide level, and other things of interest. The developers also note that some subscribing WikiProjects and Taskforces use the
display=none parameter, but forget to give a link to their alert page. Your alert page should be located at "Wikipedia:PROJECT-OR-TASKFORCE-HOMEPAGE/Article alerts". Questions and feedback should be left at Wikipedia talk:Article alerts.
Message sent by User:Addbot to all active wiki projects per request, Comments on the message and bot are welcome here.
Thanks. — Headbomb {ταλκκοντριβς – WP Physics} 09:19, 15 March, 2009 (UTC)
Proposal for a 200-WikiProject contest[edit]

The Kenya Portal[edit]
Hello everyone, I've done a little work to the Portal (not much) and I hope it meets with the Projects approval. I don't know who manages it, but they've done a great job. It looks good. I've co-ordinated the colours with the national flag and added a Panorama box (Kenya has great ones of these) and I hope all like it. Oh, I've also increased the copy in the intro box as well to fill out the empty space produced by the picture. Again, hope meets with approval. If I've trodden on anybody's toes please let me know straight away. If you wish, I can have a look at upgrading the Portal boxes contents as well. I'll await your instructions - just in case! :-) Take care everyone and hopefully speak soon Wiki User 68 (talk) 00:31, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
- Thank you for your efforts, looks really nice! I hope you don't mind my revert. Keep on improving the Portal. Best regards, --R.Schuster (talk) 10:41, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
WP 1.0 bot announcement[edit]
This message is being sent to each WikiProject that participates in the WP 1.0 assessment system. On Saturday, January 23, 2010, the WP 1.0 bot will be upgraded. Your project does not need to take any action, but the appearance of your project's summary table will change. The upgrade will make many new, optional features available to all WikiProjects. Additional information is available at the WP 1.0 project homepage. — Carl (CBM · talk) 03:30, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
Unreferenced living people articles bot[edit]
User:DASHBot/Wikiprojects provides a list, updated daily, of unreferenced living people articles (BLPs) related to your project. There has been a lot of discussion recently about deleting these unreferenced articles, so it is important that these articles are referenced.
The unreferenced articles related to your project can be found at >>>Wikipedia:WikiProject Kenya/Unreferenced BLPs<<<
If you do not want this wikiproject to participate, please add your project name to this list.
Thank you.
- Update: Wikipedia:WikiProject Kenya/Unreferenced BLPs has been created. This list, which is updated by User:DASHBot/Wikiprojects daily, will allow your wikiproject to quickly identify unreferenced living person articles.
- There maybe no or few articles on this new Unreferenced BLPs page. To increase the overall number of articles in your project with another bot, you can sign up for User:Xenobot_Mk_V#Instructions.
- If you have any questions or concerns, visit User talk:DASHBot/Wikiprojects. Okip 00:42, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
Kenya articles have been selected for the Wikipedia 0.8 release[edit]
Version 0.8 is a collection of Wikipedia articles selected by the Wikipedia 1.0 team for offline release on USB key, DVD and mobile phone. Articles were selected based on their assessed importance and quality, then article versions (revisionIDs) were chosen for trustworthiness (freedom from vandalism) using an adaptation of the WikiTrust algorithm.
We would like to ask you to review the Kenya articles and revisionIDs we have chosen. Selected articles are marked with a diamond symbol (♦) to the right of each article, and this symbol links to the selected version of each article. If you believe we have included or excluded articles inappropriately, please contact us at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8 with the details. You may wish to look at your WikiProject's articles with cleanup tags and try to improve any that need work; if you do, please give us the new revisionID at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8. We would like to complete this consultation period by midnight UTC on Monday, October 11th.
We have greatly streamlined the process since the Version 0.7 release, so we aim to have the collection ready for distribution by the end of October, 2010. As a result, we are planning to distribute the collection much more widely, while continuing to work with groups such as One Laptop per Child and Wikipedia for Schools to extend the reach of Wikipedia worldwide. Please help us, with your WikiProject's feedback!
For the Wikipedia 1.0 editorial team, SelectionBot 23:13, 19 September 2010 (UTC)
Hello everyone. I was wondering whether we could work together to update the Kisumu page which currently reads like a travel brochure, which is very undeserving for a leading town in East Africa. If possible could you constructively help me make it better, I am hoping to get together a work group of contributers to help out so that it is something close to the Nairobi page. I will be working on this for the next week or two, if you have some spare time I will be glad if you could help me open up Kisumu to the world. Thanks!--Krator1 (talk) 22:41, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

WikiWomen's History Month[edit]
Hi everyone. March is Women's History Month and I'm hoping a few folks here at WP:Kenya will have interest in putting on events (on and off wiki) related to women's roles in Kenya's history, society and culture. We've created an event page on English Wikipedia (please translate!) and I hope you'll find the inspiration to participate. These events can take place off wiki, like edit-a-thons, or on wiki, such as themes and translations. Please visit the page here: WikiWomen's History Month. Thanks for your consideration and I look forward to seeing events take place! SarahStierch (talk) 22:16, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

Articles such as this one still need cleanup, and addition/moving of references and links. Left note on page's talk that the title is incorr. -- s/b singular hill, not plural hills.

Counties v. Districts: The way Forward.[edit]
The background for this runs as such. Under Kenya's Provincial Administration System there were 46 legally recognized Districts, plus Nairobi Province. As far as I know all have Wikipedia articles. These districts pretty much coincide with the 47 counties introduced by the new constitution of Kenya for the purposes of Devolution. A few of these counties have separate wikipedia articles despite covering the same geographical territory. Further to that all, or nearly all the above Districts have been sub-divided multiple times to the point I reckon at last count Kenya could have well over 300 districts. Some of these sub divided districts have wikipedia articles some don't. Furthermore, with 2 bills on Devolved government and the future of the Provincial Administration as a whole held up by Presidential vetoes, its likely the number and the names, of the districts will change together with the command structure of the Provincial Administration which to a format radically different to what's being used on Wikipedia. If you fancy having a look at the possible new structure, I suggest looking up the bills on the bill tracker page of www.kenyalaw.org Aside from merging and renaming District pages and County pages that cover territory that will become counties, what do we do when the new Provincial administration takes hold? What do we do with articles of districts that get merged, or done away with altogether? Finally what do we do with the Provinces articles as they certainly won't exist in 2013?

Call for Wikipedians Residing in Africa[edit]
Got this on my talk page. Think somebody might be interested in following up. Hi! I hope you are well and thriving!! WikiAfrica has just put out a call for two Wikipedians in Residence. One in Cape Town at WikiAfrica, at the Africa Centre; and the other for WikiAfrica Cameroon in Douala, at doual'art. I would be very grateful if you could spread this call far and wide among your networks to ensure that both projects get excellent candidates.

Lake Victoria ships[edit]
In 2011 I created or greatly expanded articles about various Lake Victoria ferries built and launched at Kisumu; from SS William Mackinnon in 1890 to MV Umoja and MV Uhuru in 1965. Two of the more historic ships, SS Nyanza built in 1907 and SS Usoga built in 1911, were photographed still at their moorings in Kisumu in 2007 and are published online here: Death of a Fleet at Kisumu. Please can any Wikipedian WP:VERIFY whether Nyanza and Usoga still survive?
Various historic and recent photographs of past and present Lake Victoria ships are published online, but Wikimedia Commons has none. If there is any Wikipedian who has photographs of Lake Victoria shipping that they will donate, or if there is a Wikipedian able to visit Lake Victoria and photograph its ships, that would improve the quality of Wikipedia's articles about the lake's shipping history over the last 123 years. Good recent photographs Nyanza and Usoga would be particularly helpful.

I had gone and sort of gung ho done it some time in May only for the articles to all be moved back. There is a user Nairobi...something who's moved the pages again. Hopefully it is left.

2013 General Elections Pages[edit]
Hi There. Just now there is a huge plethora of pages (many of which are largely blank) covering the general elections that Kenya had in Kenya at the national and county level for each county. What I mean is there is one page for say Nairobi County, there is page for the Senatorial Elections, a separate page for Gubernatorial elections, and County elections as so on. As a matter of making it easier to retrieve, and update, may I Suggest that all these pages be collapsed (merged) into the relevant page? I feel it would be easier to then make it easier for folks with relevant local knowledge on the counties to fill in the necessary information and also make learning about this new system of governance easier (navigation wise)Kimemia Maina (talk) 10:20, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
Proposing New Page: Gender Disparities in Kenyan Education[edit]
I propose to create a new Wiki entry called "Gender Disparities in Kenyan Education", which currently doesn't exist in any form. Currently the only articles related to this are Education in Kenya (parent article), Sex Differences in Education (parent article) and Women in Kenya. The combination of studying education in Kenya with a concentration in gender disparities, particularly the disparities that females face, does not hold a presence in Wikipedia. My article will first try and define what gender disparities in education are and what kind of problems they face, broadly including female presence in different levels of education, difference in sex success rates in school, and discrimination different sexes face while in school. It will then elaborate on general statistics in transition and overall academic performance in both males and females and delve into the overall difference in the quality of education that Kenyans face in terms of sex. Next it will examine the differences in these outcomes through different levels of education, address the challenges of gender disparities in education and their subsequent consequences. Finally, I will suggest some possible solutions to help Kenya in pursuing gender equality in education.

Comment on the WikiProject X proposal[edit]
Hello there! As you may already know, most WikiProjects here on Wikipedia struggle to stay active after they've been founded. I believe there is a lot of potential for WikiProjects to facilitate collaboration across subject areas, so I have submitted a grant proposal with the Wikimedia Foundation for the "WikiProject X" project. WikiProject X will study what makes WikiProjects succeed in retaining editors and then design a prototype WikiProject system that will recruit contributors to WikiProjects and help them run effectively. Please review the proposal here and leave feedback. If you have any questions, you can ask on the proposal page or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you for your time! (Also, sorry about the posting mistake earlier. If someone already moved my message to the talk page, feel free to remove this posting.) Harej (talk) 22:47, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

WikiProject X is live![edit]
Hello everyone!
You may have received a message from me earlier asking you to comment on my WikiProject X proposal. The good news is that WikiProject X is now live! In our first phase, we are focusing on research. At this time, we are looking for people to share their experiences with WikiProjects: good, bad, or neutral. We are also looking for WikiProjects that may be interested in trying out new tools and layouts that will make participating easier and projects easier to maintain. If you or your WikiProject are interested, check us out! Note that this is an opt-in program; no WikiProject will be required to change anything against its wishes. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!
Note: To receive additional notifications about WikiProject X on this talk page, please add this page to Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Newsletter. Otherwise, this will be the last notification sent about WikiProject X.

Auto-assessment of article classes[edit]
Following a recent discussion at WP:VPR, there is consensus for an opt-in bot task that automatically assesses the class of articles based on classes listed for other project templates on the same page. In other words, if WikiProject A has evaluated an article to be C-class and WikiProject B hasn't evaluated the article at all, such a bot task would automatically evaluate the article as C-class for WikiProject B.
If you think auto-assessment might benefit this project, consider discussing it with other members here. For more information or to request an auto-assessment run, please visit User:BU RoBOT/autoassess. This is a one-time message to alert projects with over 1,000 unassessed articles to this possibility. ~ RobTalk 01:12, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

There seems to be an almost perceptible disdain for less well-known casinos. After all, if they haven't gained much of a reputation it's easy to believe there's a reason for that and the trust you might have had with it goes out the window. Dreamy Seven Mobile Casino could be considered one of these said casinos. Founded in 2012, Microgaming-endorsed Dreamy Seven thankfully bucks this trend. Not only is it trustworthy with various secure deposit and withdrawal methods, it also carries with it a lot of games ranging from slots to classic casino titles. But what else does it have to offer? Read on to find out more.

Back to Top.
One of the best things about Dreamy Seven is its selection of games. Everything is categorised into different sections neatly and orderly making finding your favourite game a breeze.
- Casino: There are the usual classics here with Blackjack, Roulette, Baccarat and Poker. giving it an edge over many other websites that are limited to only a few casino titles. There is also a live casino section, giving that extra layer of authenticity if you're into that kind of thing.

- Slots: Microgaming slots abound here including Tomb Raider, Alaskan Fishing, Bangkok Nights, Victorian Villain and Cosmic Cat. The variety here is staggering and players will have hours of fun picking which might be their favourite. Talk about spoilt for choice!
- Scratch Cards: And then you have your scratch cards and the selection here is surprisingly vast too. With Turtley Awesome, Beer Fest and Dawn of the Bread, players will have a whale of time as they make their way through each game.
It's sad to say but Dreamy Seven doesn't offer much in terms of actual bonuses. Where most online casinos will offer a £5-£10 welcome bonus upon signing up.

Games Galore!
It's been mentioned several times but the more special thing about Dreamy Seven is its dreamy selection of games. Players will certainly be entertained for weeks with many to pick and choose from and many to make your favourite, particularly those promotions that you can get with select games.
Back to Top.
Overall, Dreamy Seven has a great and vast array of slots, casino and scratch card games with a list of promotions as long as our arms which is great if you're an existing player. However, if you're new to the site there's little reason for you to remain in terms of bonuses.
A lot of people tend to be hesitant before making a deposit. Asking them to make one as soon as they sign up in order to have any kind of betting money is a bit of an ask. Hopefully in time they'll introduce something that will be more beneficial.

The Tao Te Ching on Compassion and Vulnerability
"To be whole, let yourself break.
To be straight, let yourself bend.
To be full, let yourself be empty.
To be new, let yourself wear out.
To have everything, give everything up.
Knowing others is a kind of knowledge;
knowing yourself is wisdom.
Conquering others requires strength;
conquering yourself is true power.
To realize that you have enough is true wealth.
Pushing ahead may succeed,
but staying put brings endurance.
Die without perishing, and find the eternal.
To know that you do not know is strength.
Not knowing that you do not know is a sickness.
The cure begins with the recognition of the sickness.
Knowing what is permanent: enlightenment.
Not knowing what is permanent: disaster.
Knowing what is permanent opens the mind.
Open mind, open heart.
Open heart, magnanimity."
CS Lewis' book The Four Loves
"To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket – safe, dark, motionless, airless – it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. The alternative to tragedy, or at least to the risk of tragedy, is damnation. The only place outside of Heaven where you can be perfectly safe from all the dangers and perturbations of love is Hell."
Yogic Inspiration from The Power of Now, Eckhart Tolle
Love, joy, and peace cannot flourish until you have freed yourself from mind dominance. But they are not what I would call emotions. They lie beyond the emotions, on a much deeper level. So you need to become fully conscious of your emotions and be able to feel them before you can feel that which lies beyond them. Emotion literally means "disturbance." 24
All negativity is caused by an accumulation of psychological time and denial of the present. Unease, anxiety, tension, stress, worry—all forms of fear—are caused by too much future and not enough presence. Guilt, regret, resentment, grievances, sadness, bitterness, and all forms of nonforgiveness are caused by too much past, and not enough presence….Presence is the key to freedom, so you can only be free now. 50-51
To complain is always nonacceptance of what is. It invariably carries an unconscious negative charge. When you complain, you make yourself into a victim. When you speak out, you are in your power. So change the situation by taking action or by speaking out if necessary or possible; leave the situation or accept it. All else is madness.
Ordinary consciousness is always linked in some way with denial of the Now. The Now, of course, also implies the here. Are you resisting you're here and now? Some people would always rather be somewhere else. Their "here" is never good enough. Through self-observation, find out if that is the case in your life. Wherever you are, be there totally. If you find you're here and now intolerable and it makes you unhappy, you have three options: remove yourself form the situation, change it, or accept it totally…No excuses. No negativity. No psychic pollution. Keep your inner space clear. 68
In the Bible, God declares: "I am the Alpha and the Omega, and I am the living One." In the timeless realm where God dwells, which is also your home, the beginning and the end, the Alpha and the Omega, are one, and the essence of everything that ever has been and ever will be is eternally present in a unmanifested state of oneness and perfection—totally beyond anything the human mind can ever imagine or comprehend. 82
The fact is that no one has ever become enlightened through denying or fighting the body or through an out-of-body experience. Although such an experience can be fascinating and can give you a glimpse of the state of liberation from the material form, in the end you will always have to return to the body, where the essential work of transformation takes place. Transformation is through the body, not away from it. This is why no master has ever advocated fighting or leaving the body, although their mind-based followers often have…Jesus…"your whole body will be filled with light." 95
…I am not teaching you. You are consciousness, and you are listening to yourself. There is an Eastern saying: "The teacher and the taught together create the teaching."…the words themselves are not important. They are not Truth, they only point to it…the words that I speak to you now are carriers of the high-energy frequency of presence, quite apart from the meaning they convey as words.
Silence is an even more potent carrier of presence, so…be aware of the silence between and underneath the words. Be aware of the gaps….And what is stillness other than presence, consciousness freed from other thought forms? Here is the living realization of what we have been talking about. 85
In a fully functional organism, an emotion has a very short life span. It is like a momentary ripple or wave on the surface of your Being. When you are not in your body, however, an emotion can survive inside you…for years, feed on your energy, lead to physical illness, and make your life miserable. 101

When I first started racing, my arms were always the first to go.
Arm strength is important in running. Swinging your arms helps to drive your legs and propel yourself forward. When you need to dig a little deeper, push a little harder and run a little faster you pump your arms more vigorously and the rest of your body will follow.
When I raced, before my legs felt fatigued, before I was winded, I would struggle to keep my arms up and swinging. My shoulders would tire out and I would find my arms dropping down to my sides. After I spent so much time and energy making my legs strong and my lungs robust it was my neglected arms that dragged me down like an anchor!
I took one really simple step to solve my mid-race arm atrophy affliction: pushups. Not a lot of push ups, I only needed to make my arms strong enough so they could hold up their own weight for the duration of a 5 or 10k race.
So before I left for my next workout, I dropped and gave myself 30. At least, I attempted 30 push ups. I gave a good effort until about 20 and then I sort of wiggled around for "10" more. So, before my next run I lowered my bar and only did 20 push ups, but I concentrated on making sure they were high quality push ups. You will get more out of doing fewer push ups correctly than to do many push ups with poor form.
Doing push ups before your run will do two things for you. 1) push ups make your arms stronger. 2) Doing push ups before you run will make your arms a little tired before you even start running which gives you the perfect opportunity to practice running with tired arms. So you are both getting stronger and getting better at running when weak. That's a double whammy workout!
After a couple weeks doing a few quick push ups before each of my runs I began to see results in my race times. My arms were no longer getting tired at all during my races! I was able to run strong much longer and that made me more confident. I was on an upward spiral!
Every few weeks, as I grew accustomed to doing push ups before each run, I would add a few more push ups to my routine. I still do push ups every day. I topped out at 50 push ups. That's all I need to keep my arms strong enough to push me through any race I might find myself running and it only takes me 1 minute to do them.
Start your run off right. Do a few pushups and you'll be strong enough to hold your arms up high when you cross the finish line!

Why Browns would be crazy to trade Joe Thomas
The Cleveland Browns are 2-6. With the Cincinnati Bengals undefeated at 7-0 the division is very close to already wrapped up, and nobody in Cleveland is kidding themselves into thinking their Wild Card playoff hopes are realistic.
That's why talk like this has emerged: The Browns are considering trading center Alex Mack and left tackle Joe Thomas.
Mack can opt out of his deal after this season, so trading him makes a certain degree of sense, as it does for 2013 first-round pick Barkevious Mingo, who has also wound up on the block.
But what about for Thomas, the NFL's premier left tackle?
Thomas has a very team-friendly contract, with no guaranteed money, a roster bonus of just $1 million and a total cap hit of $9.5 million for 2016, and two more years after that in which his cap hit never exceeds $10 million according to overthecap.com. That figure would be the fifth-highest salary cap mark this season for left tackles, for a player who has been the best tackle in the game for almost the entirety of his NFL career.
As things stand, he is our top-ranked tackle with a grade of 94.6, firmly in the elite bracket and just clear of Dallas' Tyron Smith in second place.
What is perhaps my favorite Joe Thomas stat is that he has missed one snap in his entire NFL career.
The Browns know they need ammunition to rebuild, but if you trade Thomas the first thing you need to do is make sure you have a viable left tackle in place. Cleveland has been spoiled by being able to forget about that spot and take it for granted for the last nine years, but it's worth looking across the rest of the NFL landscape and appreciating just how much worse the situation can get.
Five tackles have already surrendered more than 30 total pressures this season. Thomas has allowed more than 30 in a season just once in his career, and averages only 23 over each season he has played.
Bad offensive tackles have the ability to almost single-handedly disrupt an offense, and it has never been more difficult to secure a quality tackle than right now. Even teams that take one in the top few picks of the draft are far from guaranteed success given the fortunes of recent seasons, and even those that are seeing the return in that investment have had to suffer through growing pains.
Thomas isn't just one of the Browns best players, he is one of the best players in football, with a cap-friendly contract, a connection to the team and city, a desire to be part of the team's turnaround and is showing no sign of declining play despite being over 30 years old.
There are players that the Browns might be wise to trade away – guys who have failed to live up to their billing or players that the team might realistically hope to replace from within without suffering too much of a drop-off in performance. Joe Thomas is not one of them. The chances of replacing Thomas directly and not experiencing a colossal weakening at the position is negligible. All trading Thomas does for you is open up a gaping wound in the roster that could take years to heal.

Land Court complications with a Certificate of Title
21 Jul 2013 | No Comments | posted by Francisco | in County Records, Discharges, Lawyers, Mortgage, Tips
Many of you may already be familiar with the easy distinctions between recorded land, and the land court when it comes to recording or filing documents as part of a sale or refinance.
The recorded side is not as strict, and you can get away with a handwritten correction in the document. On the other hand, you better be sure that your documents are just right when planning to file them with the land court.
It is essential that you carefully scrutinize all the details, because lack of preparation and a careful review will only mean that you need to make a second trip.
The land court does not permit electronic recording.
Here are some common complications that you can easily avoid:
- When two spouses have owned a property as tenants by the entirety, filing a death certificate will not be enough for the remaining spouse to convey their interest in the property. The land court will require that you also file an "Affidavit of No Divorce." Don't forget to collect the additional recording fee.
- When you review a certificate of title for mortgage discharges, a lien release may have been filed with the older certificate of title. If that's the case, although you may not need a new lien release or mortgage discharge, you will still need to pay the recording fee to have a certified copy carried over and re-filed in the new certificate of title.
- When the property you are handling a transaction for is both recorded and registered, be sure to file the documents first with the land court, and then carry over certified copies to be filed with the recorded side.
- In the alternative, if a lien release was only recorded and not registered, there is a good chance that you can get a certified copy and then file it with the land court. If the land court registry does not permit you do to so, you may still be able to file the certified copy if you can get approval from the Chief Title Examiner by visiting the actual Boston Land Court. It requires a trip to Boston, but it may same you time, and some frustration.

Accounts filed at Companies House reveal the Scotch distillers' pre-tax profits rose to £31.7 million in the year to March 31, 2009, compared with £25.6 million in the previous 18 months.
Operating profits reached £45.6 million after exceptional costs of £3.2 million, which were related to an increase in lease costs. This compares to £49.4 million for the preceding 18-month period.
Turnover for the year stood at £216 million, compared with £348.1 million for the prior 18 months.
Glasgow-based W&M – which owns the Dalmore and Isle of Jura single malt whiskies, along with Vladivar vodka and Glayva liqueur – said it had benefited from a surge in popularity of "premium" products, such as the special- edition Dalmore Sirius whisky, which sold out within four days despite being priced at £10,000 a bottle.
A statement in its annual accounts added: "Strategic growth will be brand-led but will be supported by maintaining contribution levels on contracted bulk spirit and private-label business and by focusing on initiatives to drive down overall costs, increasing profitability."

In the 1960s, the Republican Party began to win over a crucial demographic: white male voters. Presidential politics was transformed for a generation.
David Paul Kuhn explains this fundamental fact behind the rise of the Republicans and the decline of the Democrats, and reminds the political left that midterm victories (1986, 2006) do not always equal sustainable success. In revealing, lucid prose, Kuhn explains how America's conservative party came to win a majority of workingmen and the White House. Grounded in practical politics, The Neglected Voter presciently reconfigures the American political landscape. Equipped with unprecedented research data, reporting, and exclusive interviews with such figures as Jimmy Carter, Norman Mailer, Mark Warner, and Pat Robertson, Kuhn examines the role of gender and racial identity in presidential politics through the social changes that have defined the last half century.
David Paul Kuhn covered the 2004 presidential campaign as Chief Political Writer for CBS.com, and is currently a Senior Political Writer and news analyst for The Politico. He has also written for The Washington Post Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Salon.com, and the Tokyo-based Yomiuri Shimbun. He lives in New York City.

GLENDALE, Ariz. – Coming into spring training, the Dodgers boasted of the depth they assembled over the winter.
They aren't as deep as they thought they were two days ago.
Left-hander Brett Anderson felt discomfort in his back while throwing a live batting practice session on Tuesday and went for an examination on Wednesday. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Thursday morning that tests had revealed a bulging disc in Anderson's back. He was scheduled to undergo arthroscopic surgery in Phoenix on Thursday.
The estimated recovery time from the surgery is three to five months.
"I was surprised. I was shocked," Roberts said. "Talking to him two days ago and also yesterday morning, he thought it was a couple-days thing and it was going to subside. But obviously, to be cautious we get some images. That's what we came up with."
Roberts should not have been surprised or shocked. Anderson's injury history is lengthy and well-documented and includes previous back surgery. In August 2014, he had surgery to repair a herniated disc in his lower back.
"He said it wasn't near the sensation he had before," Roberts said. "I think he was just as surprised as anyone."
Roberts said the Dodgers "absolutely" expect Anderson to pitch for them at some point during the 2016 season. But the back surgery will extend Anderson's inability to put two consecutive healthy seasons together.
A variety of injuries (including the prior back surgery) limited Anderson to no more than 83 1/3 innings in any season from 2011 to 2014. Nonetheless, the Dodgers gambled on Anderson last winter, signing him to a one-year, $10 million contract that grew to $12.4 million when Anderson cashed in on incentives and rewarded the Dodgers' gamble with the healthiest season of his career. He went 10-9 with a 3.69 ERA and career-highs in starts (31) and innings pitched (180 1/3).
The Dodgers gambled again this past winter, making Anderson the qualifying offer of $15.8 million for a one-year contract in order to protect their right to draft-pick compensation if he signed with another team. Anderson accepted the offer, making his own gamble that he could put a second consecutive healthy season together and enter a free-agent market next winter that figures to be thin in starting pitching.
"I'm certain he's disappointed," Roberts said. "He felt coming into spring training he was in fantastic shape and had a great winter. So for this to happen, I'm sure he's very disappointed."
Anderson joins left-hander Hyun-Jin Ryu (shoulder surgery) and right-hander Brandon McCarthy (Tommy John surgery) as Dodgers starting pitchers on the shelf. McCarthy is not expected back until mid-season. Ryu has targeted "some time in May" for his return. But the Korean left-hander has not thrown off a mound since last Friday after experiencing some soreness in his surgically-repaired shoulder.
The Dodgers insist the extended break does not represent a setback in Ryu's recovery.
"It wasn't planned. We had to make an adjustment," Roberts said Thursday. "We don't consider it a setback. There was nothing where we had to shut him down. It's just more that we're sensitive to how he's feeling. … He says he feels fine. He did feel to back off a few days made sense for him."
Left-hander Alex Wood is penciled in to fill Ryu's spot in the rotation at the start of the season. Roberts said the depth chart behind him starts with right-handers Mike Bolsinger and Brandon Beachy, not top pitching prospects Julio Urias, Jose De Leon, Jharel Cotton or Ross Stripling. The 19-year-old Urias has not thrown more than 87 2/3 innings in a season as the Dodgers have closely monitored his pitch and innings counts during his three seasons in the minors.
"I think everything is in consideration. But we have guys we have targeted as our depth," Roberts said, specifically listing Bolsinger and Beachy. "They (the pitching prospects) are definitely a part of that. With where we stand right now to where we want to get to on April 4, there's still a lot of things that can change."
The Dodgers turned to Bolsinger a year ago when McCarthy and Ryu were lost for the season. He made 21 starts in all, going 6-6 with a 3.62 ERA. But Bolsinger finished badly, posting a 7.08 ERA in five September starts after a recall from the minors.
Beachy made an unsatisfying return from his second Tommy John surgery, going 0-1 with a 7.88 ERA in two July starts before returning to the minors. He declined an assignment to the minors following the season and became a free agent, re-signing with the Dodgers in January for $1.5 million. He is not currently on the Dodgers' 40-man roster.
Carlos Frias and Zach Lee will also be considered.
"It's one of those things where we didn't think our depth would be tested so early but obviously with Alex and Beachy and Mike Bolsinger we've got depth," Roberts said. "Those guys are going to have to step up. We're going to be evaluating and every day is a test."

Bipolar Disorder
Bipolar disorder, also called manic depression, is a disorder of mood or affect that affects children and adolescents as well as adults. This disorder is characterized by two opposite extremes of mood: mania and depression.
The usual pattern of bipolar disorder is one of increasing intensity and duration of symptoms that progresses slowly over many years. However, symptoms and severity may vary significantly between individuals. Bipolar disorder can be severe and long-term, or it can be mild with infrequent episodes.
Bipolar disorder can have significant consequences on an individual's life. Impaired thinking and judgement can lead to poor decision making and impulsiveness. This can have disastrous effects on one's physical and sexual health, and financial and social wellbeing.
Treatment of Bipolar Disorder consists of a combination of medication and other forms of therapy. Several promising new treatments are currently under investigation.

Paper Quilling Snowdrops Pattern
In today's post I want to share with you a simple design for paper quilling snowdrops.
Here where I live, spring has already showed its beauty!
Fresh air, beautiful clouds, amazing sun, cute little flowers and such a beautiful weather.
I love spring and it is great I can also express my joy using paper quilling.
So, I want to show you how to create a paper quilling snowdrop.
Follow my simple step-by-step instructions.
Each strip used here is 30 cm long.
If you need help with paper quilling shapes, watch a short video for detailed instructions here.
Don't have time for video, see another post here.
- Create 1 tight coil using a green strip of paper. Press the center of the coil to give it a 3D effect. Add glue inside the shape and let it dry.
- Create 2 curved marquises using 2 white strips of paper.
- Take a green strip and glue it with another white strip. Let it dry for few seconds. Roll the long strip starting with the green strip (This way the green part will come in the center of the shape.) Using this coil, create a marquise.
- Glue the shapes inside the 3D green shape. (See pictures)
And that's it! Is that simple!
You can use these quilling snowdrops for greeting cards or even for 3D bouquet of flowers.
What is you favorite spring quilling design? Answer below. I'd love to know your opinion! 🙂

Local residents can join the Montgomery County Health Department in some spring cleaning. The health department will host the fourth annual Tire Amnesty Day from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday in their parking lot at 110 W. South Blvd. While this event provides the community with a cost effective way to dispose of old tires, the purpose of the event is for mosquito control.
Last year, the health department collected more than 2,000 tires, more than twice the amount of the previous two years combined. Not only do piles of tires serve as an eyesore, they also are the perfect place for mosquitoes to breed.
In order to lay eggs, mosquitoes require only a capful of standing water. As a result, virtually anywhere that can collect water and create a warm, moist environment is a potential breeding site.
Waste tires collect rainwater easily, and it is difficult to completely drain any water that collects inside them. Each tire brought in to be properly disposed of is estimated to remove thousands of offspring from entering the mosquito population over the course of the summer.
In addition to disposing of tires, there are other measures can be taken to limit the population of mosquitoes around homes. These include cleaning out gutters, changing the water in bird bathes weekly and emptying out any other outside containers that may collect rainwater and provide mosquitoes with a breeding site.
Mosquito populations are monitored and tested by health departments all over the country, because mosquitoes are part of a group of organisms called vectors. A vector is any organism than can transmit infectious diseases to other creatures, including humans. While severe diseases such as meningitis and encephalitis can be transmitted, these instances are rare.
The Montgomery County Health Department is primarily concerned with monitoring mosquito populations for the presence of West Nile Virus, which, unlike the Zika virus, is present in the mosquito species in Indiana. According to the Centers for Disease Control, 70 to 80 percent of individuals exposed to West Nile will exhibit no symptoms, but some individuals may be more susceptible to developing severe symptoms.
The first 10 tires brought to the event are free. Each additional tire will cost $1 to help offset disposal costs. There is no limit to the amount of tires each person may drop off, but no tractor tires will be accepted. Health department workers ask you report the total number of tires you are disposing of when entering the parking lot.

NEARLY £4 million of criminals' ill-gotten gains has been ploughed into youth projects in Edinburgh.
Thousands of youngsters in the Capital have signed up for a range of sporting, cultural, educational and mentoring activities funded by a Holyrood cash pot using proceeds of crime seized from crooks.
Dubbed Cashback for Communities, the scheme has helped bankroll a string of community projects for young people at risk of turning to crime and anti-social behaviour.
The cash boost for Capital projects comes as Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill visited a programme for budding rugby players at Murrayfield which earned investment as part of the scheme.
The Game On employability scheme aims to get young people back into education or employment by using rugby to develop their life and employability skills and experience.
Mr MacAskill said: "Some of the youngsters are challenging but also come from very challenged environments.
"I'm a great believer that you need to have self-esteem, hope and aspiration.
"And I think what we see is that it can give them a lot of self-confidence, that they can have hope and belief that they can improve and they aspire to do that.
Hope Boa, 17, from Leith, who has started the once-weekly rugby sessions, said she had friends who had "turned their lives around" through projects funded through proceeds of crime.
"People are prejudiced because of where you're from, they expect bad things from you and don't give you a chance so folk easily give up and turn to crime because no one seems to care," she said.
Mark Coull, project development officer for Game On, said more than 350 people, aged 16-24, had taken part in the scheme in its first year.
He said: "The majority come in and do some rugby with us.
"It's the respect, leadership and core values of the game that help them to build confidence." A Scottish Government spokeswoman said: "From 2008/09 to 2013/14, CashBack has invested £3,973,733 in organisations to deliver free sporting, cultural and educational activities for children and young people throughout Edinburgh. This has now funded 126,246 activities and opportunities for young people throughout the city."

Btw, folks, Dai said he is planning to have two quads in LP next season:
Go, DAI!
Originally I was not a figure skating fan, until I saw Daisuke's performance at the Olympics. It blew me away, and the rest is history. I rooted for Patrick at first because he was the poster child for figure skating in Canada haha.
I like them both and can appreciate the skating skills of both of them; however, as much as I like Dai's skating, I am in awe of Patrick....I enjoy the comraderie between these two competitors.
I just love how the poeple were screaming after Dai said he wanted to try 2 quads in his FS next season!Originally Posted by let's talk
And because it needs to be said over and over again: his 'engrish' is just adorable ^^
If I remember correctly, he said somewhere else that he'd try the 4F again, if his 4T is getting good enough. I want to see that!


text: Thanks in advance to anyone that has an answer to this. Short of going to HR and waiting around until 10am can someone answer the following, I started employment as a part-time supervisor in August of 2008, so does that mean on January 1 2013 I will have 5 years of service or do I have to wait until August of 2013 to be considered to have 5 years of service? I am asking because at 5 years I will earn an extra vacation week and nobody seems to have a straight answer around here. Everyone says something different. Thanks again!

Imperialism 2 Essay, Research Paper
The treatment of the Chinese by the British, during the take over of their country, was just like that of the Africans. The British took over the land and the government, took advantage of the people and exploited them for their resources. The English accomplished these things differently in each situation, but each time, the results were the same.
One of the most important aspects of imperialism is the take over of government. The English accomplished this in several ways. Some of the Unfair Treaties forced the Chinese to allow the English ships into their ports and to allow them to have a major role in the trade market. The English wanted tea, porcelain, and silk from china. The Chinese however didn t want to gods the English offered in return. The English began trading opium in return for the goods. Although it was illegal, many of the money hungry merchants excepted the opium in return for the things that were valuable to the English. Because of this, the first Anglo-Chinese war erupted. China underestimated the power of England and was defeated. At the end of the war, they were forced to sign the Treaty of Nanjing (1842). The treaty was one of the first treaties known as the Unfair Treaties. Under this treaty, china gave up the island of Hong Kong, abolished the licensed monopoly system of trade, granted English nationals exemption from Chinese laws, and agreed to give England whatever trading concessions that were granted to other countries then and later.
The English also gained power of the Chinese through the Taiping Rebellion. When the revolutionaries began acting out against the Chinese government, the English came to defend the government. Their reasoning behind it was that it was easier to get control of china if the Qing administration was in charge. The rebels were defeated and the English succeeded in fulfilling their intentions. During the imperialism of Africa, many of the same things occurred. The English took control of the African countries in different ways, but they still got control. With the Africans, the English just went to war with the countries or tribes. They would either defeat them or force them to give up partial or all control of the government. Either way, the English gained control and power because of their strength politically and militarily.
Another aspect of imperialism is the take over of land. In the case of the English and the Chinese, the English took advantage of the results of many wars. By 1914, England had captured approximately on third of china.
One way they gained land was in the Opium War. China s answer to the drug trafficking was to burn the opium. In 1839, the government burned $6 million worth of English opium that was in canton. England s response was to use their navy and advanced war technology to defeat the Chinese and capture canton.
In Africa, the English took land by attacking the native people and forcing them to give up. It was harder to do this to the Chinese, because of the manpower that they had. In the end, England captured the land that they wanted using the force of the strong, advanced military and navy that they took pride in.
The imperialism of china also allowed the English to use the people and resources of the country. The opium war was caused by the English trading opium, an illegal drug, to the Chinese in return for goods such as tea, porcelain, and silk. Because the opium was so well accepted by the wealth-seeking merchants, there was a good market. The English used the people because they knew that the Chinese would become addicted to the drug, creating a never-ending market.
In Africa, the people and resources were exploited, but in different ways. The Africans were forced to harvest goods by the English. They didn t receive nearly anything for their labor and were unable to support themselves. Whether or not the addiction to opium was good, the Chinese still received something for their efforts.
As you can see, the Imperialism of china and Africa were different and the same. The English used different tactics but got the same results. They used politics, treaties, and war in the battle against china, where they basically just used war to defeat the Africans. War alone worked with the Africans because of the different culture and warfare backgrounds. The English had to use different tactics with the Chinese but accomplished the same goals in the long run.
