What started as an in-house meeting turned into a weekly gathering of around 40 people from several countries. "The biggest encouragement to me [has been] to see people from different nations come to faith and attend the same church," Shamwil said. "We are a really small church, but it has a lot of nationalities in it. This surprises me. Who are we to see these things happen? But we believe in Jesus. He does that, not us."
Growing up, Shamwil worshipped in a church with other nationals from his country. There was also an Egyptian congregation that met in the same building, but they held services on a separate day.
OM opened Shamwil's eyes to cross-cultural worship, but in the context of a prayer meeting or training, not a weekly church service. "To me, to see this [cross-cultural interaction] in my church, really, it's a big thing because I didn't experience it before," he explained.
Shamwil and Aya's church meets four Sundays a month, the order of service varied according to week. The first Sunday, the church holds a communion and worship time, and Shamwil preaches. For the next two Sundays, after a half hour of worship, people break up into smaller groups – women, men, couples and youth – for Discovery Bible Studies (DBS). On the fourth Sunday, the church invites a speaker from a different church to preach.
The favourite format, Shamwil mentioned, is DBS. "Anyone in the church can use DBS," he noted. "If it's a Christian background believer (CBB) or a Muslim Background believer (MBB), they can do it."
When Shamwil first visited the village to celebrate his brother's recent marriage, he explored the community. "I walked more than an hour, and I didn't find any churches there. I found mosque, mosque, mosque," Shamwil recounted. "I thought this was a huge area without any 'light'."
Though he hadn't yet met Aya, he decided then to someday start ministry there as a married couple.
Nearly seven years later, Shamwil and Aya began visiting the village once a week during their engagement. They found and prepared a house, got married and moved in. "The church started from our home," Shamwil said. "Half of it was home; half of it was church."
Prior to starting church meetings in their home, Shamwil and Aya rented a small event hall to host kids club meetings. "After kids club, we started connecting with the families, and the families said, 'Why don't you do something with us?'" Shamwil explained.
As their house church grew, they eventually looked for a larger meeting place to start a church. "You don't see from the outside that it's a church, but inside, you see a big cross," Shamwil said. That way, Muslims can discretely attend without attracting negative attention from the community.
When the church started, two families attended. Now, ten years later, 40 people, Christians and Muslims, regularly attend Sunday church services, Shamwil said. A handful of OM workers in the country, as well as other NGO volunteers, help with the youth, minister to the women and staff the ongoing kids clubs—one for local kids and the other attended by up to 66 Syrian refugee children.
"For years, we could not see any fruit with MBBs and suddenly, last year, God opened the door," Shamwil expressed. He and Aya discipled a family from Syria for three months, teaching them the DBS method. Then the family began helping with ministry and bringing their friends to the church. Today the church includes 14 MBBs from six countries, he estimated. "We are so surprised. In 2016, God gave us fruit for the last ten years."
"It's a vision in our church that 2017 will be a discipleship year," Shamwil shared. By discipling those in the church to do the current ministry, the leadership committee, including himself and Aya, will be free to pursue new ministry channels in 2018.
"God wants us to be steadfast in loving Him and praying for the people around us and to bring always glory back to Him. We are joyful in what's happening," Aya said.
In addition to providing growth within the church, God also opened the door for ministry outside the church in 2016. Shamwil hosted two church planting conferences, attended by 102 local believers. Those participants returned to their churches and started 51 DBS groups, amongst both CBBs and MBBs, he reported.
"We are so happy for seeing that happen in the land…That means churches in the near future will have more of a vision to reach out," he said.
In early 2017, Shamwil's church also hosted international medical teams, which offered day-long clinics for refugees in the community. He also planned to bring another group of international volunteers later in the year, including a doctor, dentist, gynaecologist, paediatrician, eye doctor, psychologist and pharmacist. "I'm so happy to help refugee families…with medicine," he expressed.
Shamwil, who grew up as a nominal Catholic, spent childhood summers with his grandfather, a shepherd. Camping in a remote tent with the "sheep and dogs and nothing else," Shamwil watched his grandfather care for the sheep.
Years later, when Shamwil finished high school, he moved to the city with his family. There, a friend invited him to an evangelical church. The first time Shamwil attended a service, the speaker preached from Psalm 23. "I heard every word he said," Shamwil remembered. "God will lead you. God will be [your] shepherd."
"In my mind, If God does everything my grandfather did—my grandfather [was] a good shepherd, so God [would be] a good shepherd," Shamwil explained.
When the speaker asked if anyone in the congregation wanted to accept Jesus, Shamwil raised his hand. "From that time, I [have] continued with Jesus," he said.
Praise God for this vibrant community of Jesus followers. Praise God for the growth of Shamwil and Aya's church.
The church would like to expand its physical space in order to welcome more people, but Shamwil feels stuck: "If we move to a bigger place, it means more struggling with money. If we stay, it will be hard to have a lot of [ministry programmes] in the small space."
Pray that God would provide for the expanding church's needs and bless them with means of reaching out to the surrounding Syrian refugee community.

Classical Documentary Texts
- Module Code:
- Credits:
- 30
- FHEQ Level:
- 7
- Taught in:
- Full Year
The objectives of this module are the introduction to and study of representative genres in the classical corpus. Understanding of the content and research value of documents is to be stressed rather than their merit as literature. Research tools, bibliographical entries of books, biographies, diaries, gazetteers, legal texts, anecdotal writings, collected works of scholar-officials, critical writings and other texts will be covered, and students will be expected to prepare annotated translations for class discussion, as well as term essays on a chosen topic. To some extent, subject areas that students are interested in will also be catered to.
A competence in Classical Chinese equivalent to at least the level reached by the end of the SOAS 3rd year BA Chinese programme is required for entrance to the module. Language assessments can be carried out prior to enrollment whenever necessary.
Objectives and learning outcomes of the module
The aim is to supply essential tools for research in pre-twentieth century Classical Chinese writings, as well as a systematic survey of the wealth of Classical Chinese documentary sources. By the end of the module, students will have sharpened their research skills, for example by drawing more easily on a wider range of both printed and web-based materials. They can hope to have acquired a good knowledge of Classical Chinese through careful translation and close textual analysis, a broad vocabulary that extends across a range of subjects, an awareness of the wealth of material that has research potential, and a strong foundation to begin postgraduate research.
Total of 22 weeks teaching with 2 hours classroom contact per week consisting of a 2 hour lecture.
Method of assessment
One two-hour written examination taken in May/June (50%), one essay of 2500 words to be submitted on day 5, week 1, term 2 (25%); one essay of 3,500 words to be submitted on day 5, week 1, term 3 (25%).

I just got back from a quick, busy trip out to San Francisco.
The wife is out there for a couple of months for job training. Her new employer was nice enough to fly me out for a (much overdo) visit.
I got out there Friday. On Saturday, the wife and I headed north, through Napa wine country and stopped in Calistoga, a cool little town with a post-WWII feel. It also has a bit of a tourist-trap vibe thrown in for good measure. We stopped off at the Calistoga Inn for a drink, where I had a tasty brewed-on-site Calistoga Amber Ale. We then went on to another place for dinner where I got to try a Lagunitas IPA. Tasty. Hoppy. I'll definitely keep my eye out for this again, tho I don't recall ever seeing it here on the east coast. Maybe I just never noticed it. Oh yeah. And I had a mud bath, too. Man, I'm still picking bits of mud outta nooks and crannies. Much like I see skydiving or alligator wrestling, that's one of them once-in-a-lifetime kinda events. Been there, done it. Cross it off the list and move on.
Sunday, we headed south down Highway 1.
A beautiful drive down the coast with stops in Santa Cruz and Carmel (the town formerly under the rule of Mayor Eastwood). Santa Cruz had a cool college-town feel. I could definitely see myself living here (all the hippies not withstanding). At least for a while. Besides...with a town named after a mountain bike company, there have got to be some good trails around there, too. Right?
Monday the wife had to put in a half-day's work, so we stuck around the apartment. She working, I reading the infinitely fascinating "Under the Banner of Heaven" (highly recommended, btw). After the relaxed morning, we decided to wander down and book one of the bay boat tours. Yeah, touristy. But eff it. I'm a tourist.
We left the marina, tooled around under the Golden Gate Bridge, came back around Alcatraz, somewhat close to Angle Island then back to port. The kite surfers took advantage of the high winds and boat wake to give us some acrobatic entertainment. Unfortunately they were too far off for my short camera lens to be of much use.
Tuesday the wife had to go into the office, so I had the day to explore solo. I rented a beater Fuji mountain bike and headed off around the Embarcadero towards the Golden Gate. I crossed the bridge and headed off into the Marin countryside, following the cartoon-quality-map intended for fat tourists on rented hybrids (or in my case, fat tourists on rented mountain bikes), in search of a brown and twisty dotted line bearing the vague description: "MTB Trail".
I make a switchback climb up a gravel road and survey the lay of the land, which looked pretty much like this, except more 3D in real life:
From the top of the hill, I can see the fire-road-width trails a bit further down the road. It takes a bit of searching to find the actual trail-head. Unfortunately, by the time I hit dirt, I'm already a significant number of miles into my ride (for my outta-shape ass). I'm pretty beat, and time is running out (gotta get back into the city to meet the wife when she gets off of work. The perils of a single set of apartment keys). I roam around the dirt for a mile or two (all a gradual climb, damnit). I reach a point, this point as a matter of fact:
and simply turn around. The nice thing about the mile-plus gradual climb is that it becomes a mile-plus moderately-high-speed descent on the return trip.
I make my way back to SF proper the same way I came out to the 'burbs. Google-mapping the whole ride after the fact, it looks like I managed to do about 24 miles of riding.

Chinese history for English readers is a quietly contested field: quiet because discussion and developments take place in the margins of the English-speaking world; and contested both because the market for trade books is growing and, more importantly, because new publications are offering ever more diverse and complex ways of seeing China. Two seminal events, the Opium War (1839-42) and the Cu
Taking Liberty: Indigenous Rights and Settler Self-Government in Colonial Australia, 1830–1890 / Ann Curthoys, Jessie Mitchell
Ann Curthoys and Jessie Mitchell have written an ambitious, detailed and wide-ranging book about government and Indigenous Australians in colonial Australia.
'This book', writes Jeffrey A. Auerbach in his Introduction to Imperial Boredom, 'is very much about how people felt' [his italics]. As such, it takes its place in a growing body of scholarship that explores through individual lives the mind-set that under-pinned the empire project, both individually and on a collective level.
Children of Uncertain Fortune: Mixed-Race Jamaicans in Britain and the Atlantic Family, 1733-1833 / Daniel Livesay
Daniel Livesay's first monograph comes at an opportune moment. With the recent release of digital projects such as the University of Glasgow's Runaway Slaves in Britain database, historical attention has focused in on the lives of people of colour in early modern Britain.
Splendours of the Subcontinent: Four centuries of South Asian Paintings and Manuscripts / ed. Emily Hannam
Some 70 years after the British left India it is timely to look back at how the kings and queens of the United Kingdom came to amass one of the largest private collections of South Asian art in the world. Two conjoined exhibitions currently showing at the Queen's Gallery do just that.
Next year will mark the centenary of one of the most extreme and brutal displays of colonial power and violence, the so called Amritsar Massacre of 1919. The massacre took place in a public park called Jallianwala Bagh in the city of Amritsar where British Indian army's Colonel Reginald Dyer on 13 April 1919 ordered his troops to fire on unarmed protestors gathered there.
This week in Reviews in History we are focussing on a single book, Jon Wilson's India Conquered: Britain's Raj and the Chaos of Empire. We invited five reviewers to contribute to a round table discussion and take up different aspects of the book, with the author then responding to each in turn.
In Room 145 of the Ceramics Galleries of the Victoria & Albert Museum, at the top of case 50, you can see an 'architectural fragment', which, according to its label, 'once ornamented a palace in Yuanmingyuan or "garden of perfect clarity"'.
David Brundage's Irish Nationalists in America employs no sleight of hand in its title. It is a short, well-crafted new survey of Irish nationalists in the United States from the late 18th century to the close of the 20th that is more than the sum of its parts.
In 1833, after centuries of resistance and rebellion by enslaved people, decades of popularly-mobilized antislavery protests, and years of economic struggle on colonial plantations, England's Parliament initiated the process of slave emancipation in the British Empire.

Supporting Characters:
- Cy-Gor
- Jason Wynn (In a vision)
Other Characters:
Plot Synopsis for "The Beast"
Spawn tells Terry Fitzgerald that he's successfully extracted Major Forsberg back to Rat City. Terry orders him to keep him alive and warm as he needs information from him on Jason Wynn. He suddenly jumps off the phone to hide his activities from Wanda Blake who just returned home.
Spawn hangs up the phone and looks at Forsberg. Suddenly the worms Spawn uses to regenerate burst out of the box and come towards him. He reacts too late and Cy-Gor bursts out from behind his throne and grabs him. After pulling in the creatures of darkness, worms and bats, Spawn unleashes them on Cy-Gor. They suffocate the beast and cause him to pass out. He mutters his own name, "Cy-Gor" and it triggers a reaction in Forsberg. Suddenly speaking coherently, Forsberg states he didn't think Wynn cared about that program.
Forsberg explains Wynn sent in an operative, he thinks named Simmons, to hack into data to create the ultimate killing machine. A man name Mike Konieczny was about to blow the whistle on Wynn but he was inducted into the Simian project and became Cy-Gor.
As Cy-Gor reboots, he thinks how he must destroy his creator who he believes to be Al Simmons.
In Queens, New York, Wanda Blake is furious at Terry having walked in on him with all of his spy equipment. She's furious he would have withheld information from her as she was helping him attempt to bring down Wynn. Wanda begins to have second thoughts with how powerful Wynn is. She's worried about Cyan.

Groupthink – Snippet from 'Bed of Roses'
Going off today's Daily Prompt I've decided to share a snippet of conversation from one of the more lighthearted parts of my novel-in-progress. This is a conversation between our protagonist, Scott and his two best friends, Casey and Jamie.
Today. Today I would ask her. I would have the entire day to plan my phrasing, gestures, and facial expressions, but I wasn't a fool: I knew that was both a blessing and a curse. I was grateful for the preparation time, but having all those hours spread ahead of me was like staring into a great abyss. My stomach churned at the prospect. It was nauseating to imagine facing down the canyon of time. Only by thinking of Jess; her flustered expression; the smile that was never quite confident enough to show itself to me; the memory of her face rising from dirt to sun as my finger tried to coax her back to me; only this would get me through the painful hours as they fell away.
"Why so serious?" a familiar voice snarled behind a grin.
"You know why. Quit making fun, man." Jamie read my stress and backed off a fraction.
"Okay, so you're gonna ask the girl out. I get it, it's wigging you out," I shot him a glance to get to the point and he continued with more force, "but seriously, dude. Chill. She'll notice. Heck man, you're making me nervous for you just standing here." He smiled and I tried to laugh. It stuck in my throat.
"I know, I know. It's just … well, I guess it's just been a while since I've done this, is all."
"Exactly, you're out of practice. That's why I'm telling you to calm down." These last words were punctuated by a two-fingered jab in the shoulder per word, and a stern look that said he meant business.
"And you're saying I should take your advice?"
"Yes. Yes I am. Learn from the master." At this a genuine smile breached the surface of my face.
"Don't let Casey hear you say that." Jamie winked. "Speaking of, where is she?"
"Good question. Don't know. Her text said not to wait for her but didn't say why."
"Well she'd better get a move on, first class is almost starting."
We had no choice but to move on and wait for her there. We got to our room earlier than anyone else and sat making casual conversation until Casey showed. Jamie was kind enough to avoid the subject of my future endeavours for now. I wanted to run through some things with him later, but the day was too young to try and deal with the stress just yet.
"Oi, Bug Brain."
A paper bag appeared before me. Stood behind this was Casey. She had a smile on her face that betrayed her.
"Woah there, girl!" said Jamie. "Don't go spreading the hate this early in the morning."
"Shut up, you."
"Okay," he replied immediately.
"This," she indicated the bag, "is yours." She looked pointedly at me until my confusion gave way to curiosity and I looked in it. At the bottom was a little black box with silver and red swirled patterns on its face. "I know you don't have this one. Make sure you use it." It was a Hugo Boss cologne.
"Oh, wow. Thanks, I think." I didn't understand the gesture and told her as much.
"The woman at the store said it was new. I tried it and it's gorgeous." I still didn't get it. "For, you know, the ladies." Two seconds passed and then it registered. My eyes popped and Jamie reached over to shut my now-open mouth. Embarrassment generated an unwelcome heat in my face. I looked again at the box.
"Use it well, as Harry Potter might say. Don't overdo it, mind. Just make sure you use it when you talk to her. And if she doesn't like it, or if you don't want it … I'll keep it for myself."
Noticing her backtracking and reconsidering her offer, I said "I want it. Thanks." People were beginning to file into the room. I stashed my loot.
"You never buy me sexy cologne," Jamie muttered. THWACK.
"You can buy your own. You're not the one trying to impress a woman."
"Yes, you're right, of course. I already have my own little firecracker," he replied affectionately.
"Damn straight." With that, Casey took her seat. Soon after, the class begun.

Staff writer Ferdinand Godinez puts the city's bus system to the test
Unless you have your own car, getting around Abu Dhabi can be done in two ways: by taxi or by bus.
The recent increase in taxi flagdown rate to five dirhams has made many rethink their daily commutes.
In comparison, with rates starting at just two dirhams, riding the bus is becoming an increasingly popular mode of transport.
To gain a clearer picture of the pros and cons of taking a bus, I recharged my Hafilat card (more on that on the right) and hopped on board to try out some popular routes.
Route 56: Mina Souk – Khalifa Park
On a weekday, people are packing into the bus from as early 6am. I hop on mid-route at the Central Bus Station next to Al Wahda Mall – not the ideal starting point at this time of day as the bus is packed.
The route takes you along Mina Street, Zayed the First Street, past the central bus station and up Sultan Bin Zayed Street (Muroor Road) towards Khalifa Park.
Pros: The long stretch pretty much gives you a comprehensive tour of the city.
Cons: Expect a huge crowd of passengers, even first thing in the morning.
Travel time: 50 mins from Central Bus Station to Khalifa Park
Route 52: Sowwah Square – Zayed Sports City
This route can be a bit unpredictable in terms of commuter crowd, though my early afternoon trip to Mushrif Mall from Al Wahda turns out to be surprisingly calm.
Routing through Al Zahiyah and down Sheikh Rashid Bin Saeed Street (Airport Road), stops include the city air terminal, Zayed the First Street, the main bus station, Mushrif Mall and Zayed Sports City.
Pros: Pretty convenient for getting one from end of the city to the other.
Cons: Not many, but it can get busy at times.
Travel time: 40 mins from Hazza Bin Zayed to Mushrif Mall
Route 190: Al Rawdah St – Yas Island East Mosque
For all of Yas Island's splendour, getting a cab there can be brutal on the wallet.
The 190 bus is moderately full around 6.30pm. I hop on at the Al Nahyan stop, but it doesn't take long before the bulk of the passengers started dispersing.
With a total of nine stops, the route passes by the Immigration Department in Al Mushrif, the main bus station next to Al Wahda Mall, and major stops on Yas Island including Yas Mall, Ikea and the main entrance to Yas Marina Circuit.
Pros: Big savings compared to a taxi, which could set you back up to AED 50, but a slightly longer trip.
Cons: There's no bus shelter at Al Nahyan stop, a challenge in this summer heat.
Travel time: 60 mins from main bus station to Yas Mall.
Before you go
The Hafilat card is a prepaid card used to facilitate payment for bus trips within the city and suburbs.
There are six types of card: temporary for five dirhams, valid for 14 days; permanent for ten dirhams, valid for five years; and personalised (which features your name and photo), special needs, senior citizen (60+) and student – all for five dirhams and valid for five years.
The prices are just for the card, so you'll need to recharge before using them. Cards can be purchased and recharged at the Central Bus Station near Al Wahda Mall, Department of Transport (DoT) customer care centres, ticket vending machines in the airport and reloading machines located in select bus shelters, hospitals and malls.
When riding the bus, you simply tap your card on the scanning device as you enter and exit the bus. The fare is automatically deducted from the card's stored value based on the distance of the journey.
The bus fare within the city is two dirhams, while fares to the suburbs start at two dirhams and cost an extra five fils for each kilometre. The intercity fare is ten dirhams, plus ten fils per kilometre.
You can choose to load cards with weekly passes costing AED 30 and valid for unlimited travel for seven days. Permanent and personalised cards can be recharged up to AED 150 (minimum five dirhams), or a fixed weekly value of AED 30 or AED 80 a month.
Special needs and senior citizen cardholders are entitled to a free pass, while students can enjoy unlimited travel in the city and suburbs for AED 500 a year. These cards can also be applied for at the main bus station and DoT customer care centres, but you must bring a valid Emirates ID for verification.
Bus operating times vary but generally start around 5am and run until midnight. I found them to mostly run on time, although during rush hour they may run a few minutes behind schedule, at most.
To help plan your journey, download the Darb app, available for Android and Apple devices, which provides interactive maps, routes, real-time schedules and locations of the buses.

By John Galt
June 21, 2011
In what could only be called a stunning unanimous decision, the United States Supreme Court may have opened Pandora's Box in the case of Bond v. United States. I shall simply defer to the experts on their interpretations but from the individual citizen's it does give them standing in property rights challenges, the stupid curly light bulb, and quite possibly agricultural issues for farmers not engaged in cross border (state or international) commerce. Thank God they decided to uphold the right of individuals to challenge Federal Laws and regulations based on 10th Amendment infringements because our nation could well have tipped over based on the regulatory binge Cass Sunstein has engaged in. At least now we can stop or slow down their actions in the Federal Court System.

By the end of last century, we thought we had lost manufacturing. It was old, smelly, and looked like a dinosaur just waiting to die. But Industrie 4.0 holds the potential to transform manufacturing back into an economic powerhouse.
Unlike earlier technology, Industrie 4.0 is fundamentally transforming how manufacturing companies compete. These new connected technologies increase speed, agility, and flexibility throughout a company's value chain.
With Industrie 4.0 strategies, companies gain powerful capabilities to drive competitive advantage. Factories cut costs, reduce time-to-delivery, and increase order accuracy. With the right leadership, businesses will capture market share, enter new markets, and boost margins.
The Industrie 4.0 Roadmap from MESA International provides manufacturing companies with a guide for their Industrie 4.0 journey and a framework for building detailed plans to achieve their Industrie 4.0 goals.
Join us in this workshop as we explore the details of the Industrie 4.0 Roadmap:
- Business Strategy
- Empowered Teams
- Streamlined Processes
- Connective Technologies
- Connected Things (IIoT)

Queensland Local Studies Group will meet on the 1st of March, kicking off a fresh year of dialogue and a renewed energy and focus on the topic that helps to reflect and evoke unique Queensland experiences.
The purpose of these meetings is to share experiences, expertise and new learnings; identify solutions to challenges; advocate for collaborative networks and partner opportunities; and acknowledge the diverse and creative ways the Queensland experience is celebrated and showcased at a local level.
You can check out minutes of previous meetings on the Public Libraries Connect website, and they too showcase the various programs and activities being delivered in relevant regions and encourage library staff to explore similar projects and opportunities to network with local GLAM sector heritage partners.
Three topics on the agenda for the first meeting of the year include:
• a guided tour of Magnificent Makers – the SLQ exhibition showcasing collections of the John Oxley Library and the group of remarkable Queenslanders who made significant contributions to the state's education, sport, leisure, clothing, photography, medicine and scientific research;
• a demonstration on managing valuable digital assets using Recollect, a New Zealand product that is helping cultural organisations to connect their content to their communities; and
• engaging with community through collections – it's a winner every time!
If your public library maintains a Local History collection that is unique to your area, however big or small, why not join the state-wide Local Studies discussion group? It is easy to subscribe to online and updates are forwarded regularly by list members.
If you would like to start a Local Studies collection in your public library or are interested in working with your local heritage groups we encourage you to sign-up. Every member will soon receive an invitation to attend the Local Studies meeting, and we look forward to everyone joining us on Level 4 at SLQ from 10-4pm, Thursday 1 March.
Alternatively you can send us your stories and we will share them on the John Oxley Library blog – contact the Queensland Memory team.
Anne Scheu is a Collections Engagement Officer at Queensland Memory, State Library of Queensland.

Cool name, I like this – so here's another varnish from their Russian collection, Krème de la Kremlin, a dusty pink (which is similar to Chanel Rose Confidentiel).
Two coats.
Here's how it compares to SpaRitual Love Your Mother and Chanel Rose Confidentiel. Index and little finger: Rose Confidentiel – middle finger: Krème de la Kremlin – ring finger: Love Your Mother.
Krème de la Kremlin and Rose Confidentiel are pretty close, while Love Your Mother is a tad lighter.

Neighbours Homes May Harm You
How to Use Feng Shui Cures
Whether practicing feng shui as a beginner, or an expert, we find it quite evident that homes do have energy. As soon as we enter someones home, we know whether it has good or bad energy. As a Real Estate Broker for nearly 30 years, I have entered thousands of homes, and have experienced that a rough looking home can be feng shui correct and have more positive energy than a million dollar cream de la cream home
Home has life. We must be aware of which plants to
position outside the home to benefit from Feng Shui.
It is good practice to use a LoPan (feng shui compass) to determine compass directions, analyze the house based on its construction date, and the homeowners birthday, etc
Here are quick fixes for your home until you hire a feng shui master:
Beware of buildings taller than your homes that directly face your house. Large structures that stand right in front of your house cause obstacles in your life, blocking good energies and can bring misfortune.
Buildings with many sharp corners and edges are fully abundant of negative energy. Buildings having a tilted structure with edges pointed directly at your home can be very dangerous.
The color of tiles and walls of buildings, as well as the shape of the building itself, can also be a problem if the colors and shapes represent elements not in harmony to the element of your home.
Which destructive energies could affect your home?
A home that sits
is a
Fire element
house, and if the building opposite you is curved shaped, and the color is blue or black, which represents the
element, needs to be neutralized with an Earth element. Solve this problem by
building a brick wall
A home that sits
is a
Wood element
house, so if the building opposite is square, white or metallic in color, it represents
; destructive energy. Use a Fire element to cure by
installing a bright light
When your home sits
, it is a
Metal element
house. A building that is triangular in shape and red in color represents the Fire element. Use a Feng Shui cure with a Water element by
building a small fountain
between the Fire element building and your home.
If your home sits
, it is a
house. If the building opposite is round and predominantly yellow, it represents the Earth element, and must be cured with the
element by
Planting a tree
or growing a hedge.
If your home sits
, it is an
element house and if the building opposite is rectangular and mostly brown and green, it represents the
, use the
Metal element
like a
metal wind chime
to cure.

Today on Becca's Books, I'm delighted to be taking part in B R Maycock's cover reveal for It Started With a Snub. I think the cover for this one is brilliant, and the book sounds absolutely fantastic, too! Another one to add to your ever-growing to-read lists, bookish beauts! ;)
Revealing B R Maycock's cover for It Started With a Snub...
It Started With a Snub
By B R Maycock
Published May 22nd 2015
Heather Green is a fun loving, happy go lucky, twenty-six year old who has remained upright and beaming despite a few wobbles in life. She wears her heart on her sleeve and pins on her thoughts for good measure.
We meet Heather as she moves out of her family home to share with four guys, much to the dismay of her long suffering (by his own admission!) boyfriend Graham. We follow her housemates and watch their sometimes funny, sometimes-fraught relationships as they go about about their daily lives.
Join Heather as she navigates the simple things in life, her inability to remember the code for the house alarm, odd driving habits, general musings on chick flicks, casualties in cooking, as well as her attempts to talk down the "mad farmer with the gun". Experience comedy and drama as we get to know her family and housemates, and, as an unexpected event finally takes her down, learn what happens when the last people you expected to turn to are actually the ones you need the most.
~ Author Bio ~
Bernadette Maycock (writing as B R Maycock) participates in a closed Facebook group called Image, Write, Inspire (IWI) led by the award-winning author Carmel Harrington (Beyond Grace's Rainbow, The Life You Left) and has contributed to their three publications, "All I want for Christmas," "Stop Waiting For Friday" and "The Love Anthology; A collection of short stories."
Bernadette has just started a book review blog (visit it here) that is in complete infancy, reviewing books that are 'the lighter side of heavy TBR lists,' in particular chick lit (her first love!) and women's fiction.
She lives in Westmeath, Ireland, with her great husband, Keith and four brilliant children, Paul, Conor, Aidan and Brian.

The Metaphysics of Article 49
Israel signed the Geneva Convention relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War (better known as the Fourth Geneva Convention ("GCIV")) in 1953. Since 1967, with the advent of the settlers' movement, opponents to Israeli settlement on the other side of the "Green Line" have pointed to Article 49 of GCIV, which on its face suggests that settlement activity violates international law. With this in mind, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu created a commission to study Article 49's relevance to Israel. Its conclusions are uncertain.
The term "international law" is a treaty-based body of law wherein signatories to a treaty are bound by the terms of that treaty. Israel, as a signatory of the GCIV, is obligated to comply with all terms of GCIV.
Article 49 of the GCIV treaty, in relevant part, provides that "[t]he Occupying Power shall not deport or transfer parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies." Facially, Israel, as the occupying power, violated international law by allowing and incentivizing civilians to live in territories captured during the 1967 Six Day War. Article 49 is a thorn in Israel's side.
In January 2012, rising opposition to Israeli construction in the West Bank compelled Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to establish a committee tasked with assessing the construction's legality. Judge Edmond Levy headed that commission, which produced the Levy Commission Report ("LCR"). The LCR concluded that Israel is not in violation of Article 49 and, as such, Israeli construction in the West Bank and other areas captured in 1967 are legal.
First, the LCR posited that Israel does not qualify as an "occupying power" because Judea and Samaria and the Gaza Strip were never part of an independent Arab state. At the time, Egypt did not claim sovereignty over the Gaza Strip and Jordan was not a lawful sovereign over Judea and Samaria. Therefore, according to the LCR, Article 49 is not applicable to Israeli settlements because Israel is not an "occupying power."
In a strict legal context, this argument might be specious. In 1947, the U.N. passed resolution 181, which identified borders for a Jewish state and an Arab state. The Jewish population of Palestine accepted the notion while the Arab population rejected it. In its Declaration of Independence, Israel cited that U.N. resolution by "calling for the establishment of a Jewish State in Eretz-Israel … This recognition by the United Nations of the right of the Jewish people to establish their State is irrevocable." By relying on the resolution, Israel recognized an Arab sovereign in 1947. In response to an all-out attack twenty years later, Israel took control of the area. Subsequently, Israelis settlers created a new frontier for Jewish settlement. Based on its declaration of independence, Israel recognized Arab sovereignty of Judea, Samaria, and Gaza and then had a population move into that area.
On the other hand, the reference to resolution 181 in the Declaration of Independence may not be the equivalent of Arab sovereignty recognition. The U.N. recognized the right to a Jewish state. Israel referenced that recognition, but not a state that the Arabs themselves rejected. As such, there was never Arab sovereignty over Judea, Samaria, and Gaza.
Second, the LCR pointed to the language in Article 49 that states "deport or transfer," which is not the reality of those who settled in the disputed areas. Settlers willingly chose to live in these areas, for ideological or other reasons, not because the Israeli government deported or transferred them there.
Such an argument expresses the belief that settlers populated the territory captured in 1967 through free will. Since the inception of the settler movement, the Israeli government offered incentives and subsidies for those pioneers contributing to the creation of greater Israel. While purely ideological reasons compelled many settlers to expand Israel's borders, a significant portion of settlers acted due to financial and economic considerations. This metaphysical discussion, whether settler activity constituted free will, would determine Israel's status under Article 49.
From a legal perspective, Article 49 of GCIV challenges the dream for Greater Israel. The LCR provided arguments why Article 49 does not inhibit that dream. However, based on the above, those arguments are murky and ambiguous.

About Us
Our work through Fund For Global Awakening (FFGA) and Positive Future Consulting (PFCN) has long been concluded. We are now concluding our work from 2007 through 2013 that has been focused on the deeper problems of the social and spiritual state of the human level of existence.
Since 2007, the overall purpose to has been to provide a broad and deep examination of the physical and metaphysical influences that shape and control the human level of awareness as well as those that shape and influence the higher spiritual levels.
As stated in the A-List "Epilogue" of August 2013, it is our wish and intention that this work not be "organized", not into any sort of "-ism", no one may claim to represent this work in any manner, and no one is to charge money for this work.
We wish to again make clear that we are not of any religious persuasion nor under any "guru", as all religions are the product of a defective state of human awareness operating under the influence of human and non-human Dark agendas. As well, we have not been subjugated to any guru or similar such relationship. Nor could our work be called "Gnostic", since there is no such doctrine or religion or single coherent set of spiritual teachings under that name. Anyone claiming otherwise is not trustworthy. There have been many variations of "Gnosticism" through its attributed history, some of which are in contradiction to one another.
In many ways the structure and process of a spiritually-informed human mind that is adequately practiced with pattern recognition and analytical discernment can offer much to the indwelling spiritual consciousness of the human Self and the levels beyond.
Those who can discipline themselves against inappropriate distractions and attachments in the Earthly realm develop the needed spiritual clarity that is of immense and immeasurable value to the greater levels of one's own higher spiritual being and far beyond that, traceable to highest individuations from Creator of All and Creator Itself.
The work of Global Awakening News and the A-List Updates series is for you to use in your own way for your own spiritual development. It is freely and publicly available for anyone who is serious about spiritual transformation and ascension, to access for themselves without any intermediary. There is never to be any fee charged by anyone for this material and there are no "authorized" teachers for this work, ever. It is free. May you be free.

Are you using disinfectants the right way? Applying a product and wiping it off will kill the dangerous germs, right?
Actually, no. People often use disinfectant cleaners improperly, which can mean they're simply spreading the germs around instead of killing them. This can actually encourage dangerous bacterial growth such as E.Coli, Salmonella, Norovirus and more. Whether you're cleaning up after cutting raw chicken or caring for someone at home who's been sick, effective disinfecting means doing it the right way.
But what does "the right way" mean?
Kill time / Dwell time / Contact time is key
All disinfecting products need to stay wet on the surface for a certain amount of time to kill bacteria and viruses. This is called "kill time", "dwell time" and/or "contact time" on product labels. Kill time varies depending on the product, and often even between products made by the same company.
Remember, disinfectants only work while wet.
If a disinfectant dries quickly, you'll have to reapply it until the kill time is reached, according to EPA regulations (and, often, the product's label). Many of these products also contain alcohol, which can cause the liquid to dry quickly. This can make it difficult to keep the surface wet without re-wiping multiple times, so you're better off using a spray disinfectant cleaner.
Disinfecting wipes are popular for their convenience, but their label directions usually instruct you to leave the cleaning surface visibly wet for 4-10 minutes, in order to fully eliminate dangerous illness-causing bacteria.
How often do you stand and wait to ensure your wiped surfaces stay wet? If it dries before the kill time is met, then you haven't actually disinfected anything. Illness and disease-causing pathogens could still be there.
Don't take chances with your family's health.
Your best bet to kill dangerous bacteria is a spray disinfectant with a fast kill time, like Simple Green Clean Finish Disinfectant Cleaner. It kills 99.9% of bacteria in just 5 seconds*, and works up to 20 times faster than the competition**.
Simple Green Clean Finish has been proven to kill a broad spectrum of bacteria and viruses, including 14 that popular brands don't**. It works quickly against rapidly spreading viruses such as the cold†† and flu††, and common health threats such as Salmonella and E. Coli.

The Fremont Solstice Parade brought a colorful display of art and music to the streets of Fremont on Saturday.
But a major change could be coming to the parade next year if organizers can't find a new storage site by early August.
The Seattle Department of Transportation has provided storage space in the past, but it's not able to renew the permit for outdoor storage due to construction, according to an op-ed written by Seattle City Council members Lisa Herbold and Mike O'Brien.
A lot of work goes into the parade each year. One big component is the floats; there about 10 of them in all.
"It's essential, yeah," said parade participant Shannon Hall. "Every year, there is always a concept, a theme, it's always going to be different. Even if it's the same ensemble that returns the same year, the focus, the colors, everything will be unique to that year."
For the past year and a half, the float bases have been stored in a fenced-off lot in Fremont. But organizers got word several months ago that the area will soon be transformed into a staging ground for development, they said.
If a new storage site can't be found for the bases by Aug. 7, organizer Maque Davis fears the floats may not be part of future parades.
"Without the float storage, we lose the floats. I'm going to have to take everything apart and recycle everything. I'll have to clear the wood, down to metal, off to salvage," Davis said. "Very much in jeopardy. I've been trying for six months to find a new home and I've hit wall after wall after wall."
Davis needs about 2,000 square feet of space that doesn't have to be indoors, he said. He's even willing to pay and travel out of Seattle.
"I'm willing to take it to Vashon," he said.
To him, it'd be a shame to lose such a critical part of Seattle's start to summer each year.
"It'll be a major loss. There's no question," Davis said. "What we will look like? I don't know."

"Jesus answered, I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." John 14:6
God created our first parents Adam and Eve with a noble purpose in mind. He wanted holy people that would respect, love, honor and worship Him; men and women that would radiate His Holy character through out the entire earth. (Genesis 1:26-28)
When God looked at Adam and Eve, there in the garden, He saw what His heart longed to see, He saw His own glory, holiness and love reflected in their lives. He had created them to love Him, enjoy Him and to worship Him and to glorify Him forever.
God left Adam and Eve alone in the garden for a while and it was not long before they accepted the deceitful lie offered by that proud, evil, rebel, the Devil. They willfully sinned against their perfect, holy and loving Father and they desperately tried to cover their sin and rebellion. (Genesis 3:8-11)
They no longer knew why they were created; they had lost their God given identity and purpose for living. They turned their backs on the garden and their loving, providing Father and walked out into a vicious wilderness.
They deserved to be destroyed and banished from God's Holy presence. But, in essence, God said, "Oh, how I still want them, how I miss them and those times of fellowship, worship and adoration, how I miss seeing My holiness, My glory and love reflected in their faces. I want My people, once again, to love Me, to enjoy Me, and have Me forever." (Jeremiah 31:3-6)
God provided a temporary worship system through the sacrifice of animals (Hebrews 10:1-18). And, God knew that all was not lost, because through the miracle of the Incarnation, God's only begotten Son would repair the damage that Adam, Eve and Satan had done, by restoring man and woman to their holy heritage. (Genesis 3:15; Galatians 4:4; 1 John 3:8)
When Jesus was born, God looked down from heaven into that manger in Bethlehem; He saw what He had longed to see for centuries. As He looked into the face of that precious little Jewish baby lying there in a manger, His heart overflowed with joy, because once again He saw a perfect reflection of Himself and His glory, in human form (Luke 2:6-7). That Holy night, earth was touched by heaven in a most precious and wonderful way; and earth has never been the same.
We need to understand that as sinners, we cannot reconcile ourselves to God on our own, so God made a way that we could be reunited with Him in heaven and He sent His Son to take the penalty of our sin on the cross. "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life" (John 3:16). Scripture tells us that: "the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Romans 6:23). Jesus was born to die for our sins so that we would have life everlasting. Three days after His death, He rose from the grave (Romans 4:25), proving Himself victorious over death.
He bridged the gap between God and man so that we may have a personal relationship with Him if we only believe; then we receive eternal life. "Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent" (John 17:3).
Most people believe in God, even Satan does. But to receive salvation, we must turn to God, form a personal relationship, turn away from our sins, and follow Him. We must trust in Jesus with everything we have and everything we do. "This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe" (Romans 3:22). The Bible teaches that there is no other way to salvation than through Christ who said: "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." (John 14:6)
Jesus is the only way of salvation because He is the only One who can pay our sin penalty (Romans 6:23). We must understand that there is no other way to come to God except through Christ, no other truth than that which is founded and centered on Christ, and no other eternal life except the life of Christ imparted to the believer, through faith in Him. All who teach otherwise are 'wolves in sheep's clothing,' because Jesus said, "I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved" (John 10:8-9) and there is no other door to heaven and no other Shepherd of the sheep.
"I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life." (John 8:12) because it is God who said: "Let light shine out of darkness," made His light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God's glory displayed in the face of Christ." (2 Corinthians 4:6)
"Jesus is the bread of life. . . the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever" (John 6:48, 51)
He is the "living water." "If anyone thirst, let him come unto me, and drink" (John 7:37). No other water satisfies.
He is also the "true vine" in whom we must abide for fruit-producing life. He said, "I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing." (John 15:1, 5)
The Scriptures have made it abundantly plain that there is "no other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved" (Acts 4:12). There is no other way; the Lord Jesus Christ is the all sufficient way, and the perfect way, to God.
Jesus is the only way, and all who want to come, can come to God through Him by:
- Admitting that we are sinners and that we cannot provide for our own redemption and cleansing from sin.
- Believing that Gods' Holy Son, Jesus, is the only sacrifice for our sins and that God raised Him from death.
- Confess verbally and accept in our spirit that Jesus is and will always be the Lord of our life.
We need to know and understand what the original God-man relationship was like. How and why that relationship was broken. What the provision, for restoring the Father-child relationship are. And the eternal position of the new God-man relationship.
Because, our eternal destiny, heaven or hell is determined by the choice that we make; and our ability to enjoy our life here on earth is totally dependent upon knowing our Creator-Father through His Messiah.

It's time to strap on my big boy pants and do this blog. I've been avoiding the topic nearly four years. Bethany University was a horrible, wonderful, dreadful, exciting, scary, and beautiful place to work. I started there as a student in 1987, fresh from a year in France. A very-pregnant Judi and I moved with Daniel to Visalia, California from 1997 to 2001, and we made our triumphant return about a month before 9/11. I remember telling Judi when we reached the Fishhook (the constantly-snarled interchange between HWY 1 and HWY 17 in Santa Cruz) that it felt like we were coming home again. My heart, to quote the Dustin Hoffman movie Little Big Man, soared like a hawk. We would see our best friends and colleagues Don Ryall and Craig Mosher. We would be entertained at lunchtime by Dan Albrecht and Willy Snow. We might even join one of Darrel Johnson's or Mark Hulse's choirs.
It occurred to me that its people made Bethany University positively engaging to the soul. When Dick Foth led the trustees to move then-Bethany Bible College to Sacramento, I cried after the public chapel announcement. I couldn't imagine leaving this place and its memories… No, I realized. I couldn't bear leaving its people. The students move in, and after four or five years, are gone. The Bethany faculty was our family. It was preposterous, in 2001, to consider the thought of leaving our family again.
Over my 20 year affiliation, Don retired with the sour taste of administrative nonsense on his lips, Craig said he'd rather drive an ice pick through his skull than work another minute at Bethany, and he wandered aimlessly to become an adjunct professor at about 4 other community colleges in the area. Rich left, as gracefully and gently as possible (he's a noble soul, Rich). Darrel retired, and moved as far south as the United States would allow him. The Abplanalps left. Norm Arnesen died. Bob Columbo passed away. Dr. Rider is no longer with us. Mike and Joyce Stach pulled up stakes about a year after 9/11 and moved to Oregon. Derrald Vaughn passed away about a month before we arrived at Bethany. Truett Bobo? Gone. Dwight and Kathy Wilson? Retired. Norman Craver? He and his "this mess is a place" sign on his office door were axed due to budget cuts in the 90s. Ed Koetitz? Same story (sort of). In 2001, I myself was hired to replace a retiring Arnold McLellan as the head librarian.
We still had the mission, we reminded ourselves. Dozens of our family might be gone, but God called us to a place, to shape young Christian minds through our teaching, actions, and daily living. God did not bring us here to be fickle and leave.
By 2006, we were literally starving. Judi and I would go without meals so the kids could eat. Many months, after paying bills, we would only have $15 left. Bills were always late, no matter what we did. One month we had phone, water and power and gas all disconnected due to late payment. We had a car repossessed and three other replacements towed away at our own expense because they no longer worked. Our children's school twice took us shopping on a public school credit card and bought us groceries. They bought Alex a coat, and Daniel shoes. Alex was on their "low income kids Christmas list" and they bought him dozens of presents one year. Until Bethany disbanded it, we frequented the married student commissary just to get by, even though we were faculty/staff and not students. But this was okay: God would provide; we were doing God's work.
Finally, in early 2006, Judi was forced out of her position on trumped-up charges because she had caught wind of her boss committing extremely unethical and illegal business practices that endangered the existence of the University. Her boss systematically, over the course of a year (1) moved her office permanently into the furnace closet (2) pulled her away from any responsibility, although she was the Assistant Director of financial aid (3) "accidentally" stopped inviting her to meetings that were need-to-know information, and reprimanded her for missing them (4) ignored any advice from the Financial Aid team, despite 30 years of combined service from Judi and the Director (5) fired the Director of financial aid, for no reason other than the Director had contradicted her. Finally, Judi sent around to a few friends, a comical email with the F-word in it. She was written up and put on probation. A month or two afterwards, she was told to report immediately to the HR Director on Monday morning at 9 AM. She had been reading the writing on the wall for a few months, so she arrived at 7 AM to pack her things and leave. She was greeted by 2 security guards and members of the VP's trusted staff to make sure that the school Judi served at for 15 years wasn't vandalized. It became a spectacle. More than a half dozen were standing outside her furnace-closet just watching her move. Nobody would lift a finger to help. I was wretchedly sick with the flu, but arrived at about 8 AM to help her pack her stuff into the back of a car. For the next hour, we marched her things two flights of stairs, her sobbing all the time. Judi and I both, in our own ways, felt like failures. She spent months in a deep depression, barely able to get out of bed, and six months unemployed. I, like her, sank into a depression. I could do nothing to protect my family, not financially, not spiritually. I considered suicide. So did, I think, Judi. Yes, it was that bad.
This incident cured Judi of any empathy for Bethany she may have felt in our years of service to the University. Over those months, Judi took a job briefly as a barista (which she walked to, 3 miles away, when she couldn't find a ride because we couldn't afford to get our broken down car repaired), and after talking with our friend Ben Roberts, Judi discovered that the College Board–that's the folks who write and score the SAT tests–was hiring in their technical support team, where she would advise customers about PowerFaids, the Board's financial aid software package. The trick was, the whole family would need to relocate to Virginia.
It was the dream prospect for her: she would still work in financial aid, she could use her expertise to help other financial aid offices, and required no extra hours. She went through the application process, and she moved with our oldest son, Daniel, to Virginia in September of 2006. I stayed behind with Alex to teach out the rest of the semester.
In our eyes, the college's crime wasn't Judi's wretched boss, but that the VP's immediate supervisor (the president) allowed it to happen silently. Well, not quite so. The president made sure Judi and I got a big party, with a giant poster-sized cake and everything, where he extolled us for our years of service. After the party I refused to shake the president's hand and stormed out of the Dining Commons. About 30 minutes later, he knocked on my office door and asked what I had done to offend him. I unloaded for about an hour, literally shouting my response at him. He tried to make amends by paying a few thousand dollars to have our power, water, gas, and phone turned back on, and by offering our subsidized housing rent free, but that's all monetary. The one thing we never got was the only thing I asked him for: a letter of apology from the president to my wife for the ill-treatment she received at his hands.
It's not good enough to be a Christian institution, folks, or even to be Christian. For all the shouting that's done about making an end of social welfare, it wasn't the Christians who took care of us, nor the Church, but a very concerned public elementary school down the street. We moved to Virginia in early December, 2006 and I immediately stopped blogging. I'm still not sure why. We both have our anxiety and depression if not totally gone, at least under control. I started recording and sharing my thoughts online last week, after the four-year hiatus. I'm alive and thriving here, and so is Judi. The boys are both excellent scholars and get an "also-A" in XBox gaming.
A quote from ee cummings sprang immediately to mind, and it seemed appropriate to become the title of this post:
and what i want to know is
how do you like your blueeyed boy
Mister Death

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has discovered a strange star in our galaxy. Astronomers have nicknamed it nasty because of its weird behavior.
"Nasty 1" will help the astronomers to disclose the stages of evolution of big stars in the universe. The star was first discovered several decades ago and was named Wolf-Rayet star. NASA astronomers say that the hydrogen filled outer space of the star erodes quickly, exposing its hot and bright helium core.
The researchers also discovered that it does not look like a Wolf Rayet star. The nebula surrounding the star is estimated to be a few thousand years old and about 3,000 light years from the earth. According to the astronomers, the disc is the result of a rare occurrence wherein two Wolf-Rayets from within the same solar system and one star's hydrogen is siphoned off by its smaller companion.
"We were excited to see this dislike structure because it may be evidence for a Wolf-Rayet star from a binary interaction," said Jon Mauerhan, study lead author from University of California, Berkeley. There are few examples in the galaxy of this process in action because this phase is not living perhaps lasting only a few hundred years, while the timescale over which a resulting disk is visible could actually be ten thousand years.

I like the expert series from what was PalmSource and is now ACCESS. This one has a focus on music creation but with a slight twist in that a lot of the applications refered to are ones that you might think of as supporting music creation rather than actually doing it. From that point of view it is quite a bit different from the stuff I normally cover. It makes for interesting reading though.
Palm's new OS?
So Palm announce today that they have been working on their own new OS based on a linux kernel. This leaves me with lots of questions.
– When will palm bring out new hardware and will it have the new OS on it?
– How compatible will old apps be with the new OS?
– Will the new OS give new musical possibilities?
– Will a linux kernel mean it is easier to port existing linux music apps to the new palm OS?
I'm sure that more details will appear as the days go on, and I dare say that there will be lots of speculation on how this new OS will change the palm ecosystem.

Dr. Kamizono is a character in Azure Striker Gunvolt: Fleeting Memories. He was a researcher at S-FIT and fathered the twins Copen and Mytyl.
Kamizono is in his early thirties and has a chiseled face, pale skin, and full blonde-white hair, like Copen's.
A common misconception towards Dr. Kamizono is that he is a foreigner, however he was born in the "Far East Island Nation."
This is due to him being born to a mixed race couple. Because of his lineage, he is called a "half" by some people.
Family Ties
Dr. Kamizono married into the Kamizono family sometime before Fleeting Memories and chose to take his wife's family name.
The Kamizono's are said to have strong political power, as well as having strong ties to Sumeragi, although they do not have any official ties.
However, Dr. Kamizono and his unnamed wife did not inherit the family estate, so Kamizono chooses to distance himself from his status in the Kamizono family.
Kamizono worked at the Sumeragi Futures Institute of Technology or "S-FIT." There, Kamizono experimented on Adepts and had some ties to the creation of Glaives. Kamizono also worked on creating artificial Adepts.
Despite working closely with Adepts and the Septimal Lifewave, Kamizono displays great hatred towards Adepts, calling them "Monsters."
Dr. Kamizono first appears in Part 2 of Azure Striker Gunvolt: Fleeting Memories, "Prologue: 'It Only Happened Once.'"
Dr. Kamizono appears with his unnamed assistant walking in an S-FIT hallway towards their lab.
There they enter a room where Asimov, know then as "Takefutsu", is restrained.
Kamizono goes on talking about his mistrusts of Adepts and of the researches they are doing since they rely on supposedly magical artifacts and spiritualism rather than science.
He makes note that he's tried to convince the Sumeragi top brass to stop these researches but they've paid no heed to him: he fears for the survival of humans if Adepts are let loose and is worried about his children, too.
His assistant and him then proceed to carry out an experiment on Asimov yet his power, already unstable, goes beyond control and burns down the whole lab: everyone but Asimov dies in the accident.
Given how the Sumeragi top brass concealed the information on the accident, his son Copen would eventually end up speculating that his father was assassinated by the Sumeragi top brass because he was against their plans of making money by turning Adepts into new energy sources.

Anxious holidaygoers will today learn of what contingency plans Ryanair will put in place to offset the impact a pilots' strike will have on flights this Thursday.
While both sides of the dispute yesterday moved closer to holding talks aimed at resolving the dispute, the pilots' union warned that it expects the planned strike will go ahead in two days' time.
The industrial action is over seniority issues, with the Irish Air Line Pilots Association (IALPA), a branch of Fórsa trade union, calling on Ryanair to put in place transparent processes for determining matters such as base transfers, annual leave, and promotions.
Ryanair said it uses over 350 pilots at its three Irish bases in Dublin, Cork, and Shannon and that just 94, or 27%, of these voted to strike on Thursday.
The strike action will be taken by about 100 Irish pilots who are directly employed by the airline.
Last night it appeared that Ryanair and the union had made progress on agreeing on a venue to hold talks.
Ryanair had previously said it had extended 20 offers to meet the union at its offices. However, Fórsa had insisted talks be held at a neutral venue, for which the union will pay.
Last week Ryanair said it will only enter into negotiations held at its own headquarters, "free from media circuses".
But in a letter to the union yesterday, Ryanair said it would be willing to hold talks in a meeting room within Terminal 1 at Dublin Airport either today or tomorrow at 10am as a gesture of good faith.
Meanwhile, Fórsa also wrote to Ryanair yesterday to propose a neutral venue that would remain confidential in order to allay concerns expressed by Ryanair that a meeting between the parties would risk becoming a "media circus".
However, in a statement yesterday evening, Fórsa said it expects that Thursday's scheduled industrial action will go ahead.
Ryanair had previously set a deadline of today by which time they will email and text passengers due to travel if the strike had not been averted.
While the number of flights affected by the strike remains to be seen, the Commission for Aviation Regulation has issued its advice to passengers as to what rights they have when flights are delayed or cancelled.
Passengers who have their flights cancelled because of the strike must be given one of three options.
They must be given either a refund, the option to be re-routed to their destination as soon as possible, or the option to be rerouted at a later date at their convenience.
Meanwhile, Ryanair has said thousands of flights across Europe are facing delays because of shortages in air traffic controllers. It said 68 of its first wave of 441 flights yesterday morning were delayed due to shortages in Germany, France, Italy, Greece, and the UK.
