The Hindu faith, recognizing that different people processes information—including "spiritual" information—differently, recognize four different yogas (jnana, bhakti, karma, raja) for the four different types of people (reflective, heart centered, work centered, and body centered) *Please note, we return to two services this week, at 9:00 & 11:00 a.m.*
"Four Paths, Four Yogas, One Church"
September 22, 2019
This morning I want to talk about yoga. Yoga is associated with the religion of Hinduism. If we think of Hinduism as a philosophy, then yoga is its practice. The word "yoga" has the same root as the word "yoke" and carries connotations of both uniting (yoking together) and of placing under discipline (take my yoke upon you). In short: yoga is a method of training promising spiritual enlightenment, which is further understood as integration and union.
"The aim of life," wrote the Unitarian Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, "is to get as far as possible from imperfection." This is what the Transcendentalists Ralph Waldo Emerson and William Ellery Channing meant by self-culture: the continual effort to improve oneself, to grow. And from Emerson and Channing on through today, our movement has always affirmed this idea: the great value of evolving and growing ethically and psycho-emotionally or spiritually; indeed, it's what most Unitarian Universalists think religion should be all about. And on this the Hindus agree. In fact, they go even further. Hindus believe that overcoming human limitations is the one and only goal of life. And, moreover: they believe, that it's possible to transcend human limitations completely.
* * *
Hindu anthropology maintains that underlying the human personality, and animating it, is a reservoir of being that never dies and is never exhausted. They believe, too, that if one goes deep enough into their heart of hearts, known as Atman, what is discovered there is none other than Brahman, the great creator of the Universe: God Itself.
Westerners sometimes find these ideas astonishing, but they're not all that different from some Western ideas. Most of us are familiar in a general sort of way with the theories of Sigmund Freud. Writing about 100 years ago, Freud was the first Western, scientifically trained physician to propose the idea of unconscious motivation; that people's behavior is often determined by repressed and unconscious factors, buried deeply within their psyche. As Freud understood it, the human mind was two-tiered: one's conscious mind (their ego), and beneath that, one's Unconscious mind. Carl Jung, an early disciple of Freud's, theorized a three-tiered model of the mind. Like Freud, his earlier mentor, Jung believed that beneath the ego was the personal unconscious. But he also believed that beneath the personal unconscious laid the Collective Unconscious. According to Jung individual personalities are like islands: all connected under the sea. We're interconnected so extensively, help Jung, that we can never extract ourselves; indeed, the Universe and the psyche, according to Carl Jung, are actually two sides of the same coin, one viewed from within and one from outside. It's kind of like reality is a cosmic four, five—who knows how many dimensional Mobius strip running up and down your, and everyone's, spinal column. Psyche and Universe are one: inextricable reflections one of the other, Atman equaling Brahman. But my point is: here we have two languages—one Western and empirical, the other Eastern and mystical—both describing humanity's intimate internal connection to the forces that create and uphold life. Right here and right now.
Hindu literature is replete with images depicting this state of affairs: that we are all like lions separated at birth from our pride and raised by sheep, until now we bleat and graze like little lambs unaware that we are rightfully Kings and Queens of the Beasts. Or we're like heartbroken lovers searching the world over for a lost companion, unaware that they are beside us all along. My favorite such image is the Sufi Myth of the Mad King, wherein a young prince is called to his father's court one day and sent on an important mission. Go to Egypt and mingle with the people, he is told, and wait for further instructions. He leaves immediately and, some weeks later, arrives in Egypt and proceeds to do as he was told. He learns the language, acquires a skill and quickly blends in quite unobtrusively. In time he takes a wife and has a family. All is going along nicely until one day a messenger arrives with a message from the man's nearly forgotten far away father. Startled and confused, the prince sends him away. That night, however, he has a dream reminding him of his earlier life and mission. He wakes up and has the messenger sent for. Alas, it's too late. He cannot be found. All that remains is an enigmatic note for the Prince: "Your heart knows the way; follow it home."
We're all in this predicament, according to Hinduism. However, despite all of us being in the same existential situation, each person's way to freedom and reconciliation is unique and theirs alone. Unlike Fundamentalist Christians who maintain that there is only "One Way" to God—the Fundamentalist way—Hindus believe that everyone's path to enlightenment is unique and completely their own.
The religious scholar Huston Smith points out while all religions "recognize different spiritual personality types…Hinduism is exceptional in the attention it has given the matter; it identifies…[four] principle types and delineates the programs that are suited to each."[1]
We're all unique, says Hinduism; unique though everyone may be, however, we're all psychologically constellated in one of only four ways; we're either reflective, emotional, energetic, or what Huston Smith calls "experimental," but I'd call trippy—enchanted with inner states, and not infrequently, altered states. These types aren't absolutely rigid; indeed, everyone's all a little bit of each. Nevertheless, everyone is constellated, primarily, as one type or another, and Hinduism prescribes a distinct yoga for each type.
* * *
I want to go off on a tangent here, for just a moment. I'll come back to the four yogas shortly, but I want to focus for a moment on our own tradition, Unitarian Universalism, and about the growing embrace we've made of pluralism over the last twenty-five years. Hinduism does a good job of accepting all kinds of people, but this wasn't always so among Unitarian Universalists. I think especially of the 60's and 70's, when, all too often, a kind of fundamentalism of the left prevailed in some of our congregations: if one wasn't a certain type of person, they might well not be all that welcome. In our large congregations the operative theology tended to be the Minister's theology—sometimes not all that clearly articulated to begin with. Meantime, too many of our fellowships came off as cleansed-of-all-mystery left-wing left-lobed debating clubs. Heaven help somebody who walked in anxious about an impending pink slip, an uncertain diagnosis, or a period four days overdue! Not all congregations were equally rigid about such things, of course, and there have always been open and welcoming souls among us—people like Dorothy Hopper—who know how to warmly receive guests and make them feel at home. But—my point—we're more welcoming nowadays to people with a variety of theologies than we used to be, far more welcoming.
What changed things? What was it that made our congregations more open to pagans and neo-Transcendentalists and other "right-lobed" people? I believe it was the adoption, in 1985, of our current UUA Purposes and Principles covenant. On most Sundays we have these same UU Principles printed in the Sunday Bulletin. The third principle of which is: Acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth in our congregations. People talk a lot about the first principal and the seventh principle, but it's the third principle and only the third principle that distinguishes Unitarian Universalism as a religious organization; the other six, though laudable in every way, could just as easily be guiding principles for Rotary, or the Elks Club. My point is: things have changed. Unitarian Universalist congregations are more pluralistic than they used to be twenty-five or thirty years ago, and more explicitly spiritual. Perhaps it's attributable to the adoption of the Purposes and Principles, but whatever the cause, I've got to tell you, nowadays UUs everywhere welcome more kinds of people than we once did. And our ministers are asked to reach out to more kinds of people using various languages of faith, including world religions… as I'm doing—or trying to do—this morning. And I'm doing all this because Hinduism—it seems to me—has something very important to teach us when it comes to welcoming a diverse community reflective of ESUC's increasingly diverse neighborhood.
* * *
So… back to yoga. Unitarian Universalists may welcome more diverse types of people than we once did, but still, the largest numbers of UUs, I think, are essentially reflective. In the language of Hinduism, such people are jnana yogis: folks whose "path to enlightenment," such as it is, is through the rational mind; that is through understanding: "getting it" in their heads.
Essentially, there are three stages on this path: insight, meditation and morality:
- insight into the infinite mind of wisdom and clarity that lies beneath one's ego-driven anxieties and neuroses;
- meditation (reflection, contemplation) wherein one visits that mind again and again, until it becomes the mind she or he lives in and identifies with; and finality,
- morality, whereby one brings this deeper expanded sense of identity out in the way they live their life and in exemplification of the inner truths they've come to understand and integrate.
It's all about coming to identify with the supreme identity, with the Atman that is Brahman, instead of with one's ego; and then coming out of that Supreme Identity more and more.
In his autobiography Alan Watts refers to Joseph Campbell as a jnana yogi. Campbell "is an example," writes Watts, "although such examples are rare, of the fact that one can understand certain deep matters of the spirit simply by understanding them. To see it 'intellectually' is to see it all the way through."[2]
And while such profound understanding may be true of Joseph Campbell or Alan Watts, most people, I am quite sure, are less intellectual and reflective than the two of them. I sure am. I know how to think, all right, and I'm thankful that I do. But according to the Myers-Briggs Personality Inventory Exam I'm more of a feeling type than a thinking type. And so, I strongly suspect, are most people. Which is why in India most Hindus follow Bhakti yoga: the path to enlightenment through love. The aim of bhakti is to direct toward God the love that lies in one's heart of hearts. One key difference between jnana and bhakti yoga is that the bhakti strives not to identify with God but to adore God. Thus, it's more devotional than conceptual.
Hinduism has thousands of gods and goddesses—a cornucopia of spiritual images. This led many early scholars to presume that Hinduism was pantheistic when, in fact, the many spirits are understood by the Hindus to be but multiple faces of the One Life behind all life. In its practice, Bhakti invites its devotees to immerse themselves in Hinduism's many rituals and ceremonies. And to think of its many images as "springboards" to deeper understanding. Bkaktas are encouraged to recite mantras (a kind of repetitive prayer) and to meditate on ishtas: saints who represent one's chosen ideal. I suspect that a lot of social activists are essentially Bhakti yogis; that their response to injustice is primarily an emotional response; it's not the latest statistics from the US Dept. of Labor that inform most activist politics. It's simpler than that: Bhaktis hearts hurt when they see suffering and they feel called to help alleviate it. Period.
Karma yoga is the third type of yoga: the path to enlightenment through work. Our culture here in America is so focused on work that I suspect a lot of us are karma yogis or strive to be. It's not true elsewhere, but in the United States the second question people ask of one another, after inquiring of another's name, is "what do you do." By which they mean, "what work do you do?" This is understandable. After all, work is life's staple. We must work to survive. But that's hardly the whole of it—for, indeed, most people find work satisfying, and important to their sense of value and meaning in life. And for such people, Hinduism says, you don't have to retire to a cloister to realize God; enlightenment can be found in everyday affairs as readily as anywhere. But, to do so, one needs to find work that carries them toward God, not away. This is connected to the idea of right livelihood: the recognition that some occupations are more conducive to spiritual growth than others. You can't be an armaments manufacturer if you want to become enlightened, say the Hindis, or a drug dealer. But while you can't be an armaments manufacturer, you can be a warrior; indeed, the Samurai tradition and the Arthurian tradition are both about exactly that: finding one's way, with honor and integrity, as a warrior. Many Unitarian Universalists self-identify as artists. There are artists among our membership here. Most artists are karma yogis. By which I mean do-ers, people of action. Such women and men are kinetic and energetic, constantly engaged and moving from one thing on to the next. Like my brother-in-law, Bob. He never slows down. He's just constantly moving and busy with some project. Board Presidents are often kind'a like that: always active. Healthy churches have some reflective types, for sure; but they also have some active types to make sure that the nuts and bolts get attended to, as well as the philosophical concerns.
Energetic souls like my brother-in-law, Bob, are good to have around, writes the late University of California religious scholar Huston Smith, but they have to be careful because "according to Hindu doctrine, every action directed toward the external world reacts on the doer. Everything I do for my private benefit adds another layer to my ego, and in thus thickening, it separates me further from God. Conversely, every act that is done without thought for myself diminishes my self-centeredness until nothing separates me from the divine."[3] Thus Karma yogis focus on ways to—paradoxically—make their egos skilled at diminishing ego. For example: being controlling is egocentric and contrary to the spirit of enlightenment, but using one's controlling impulses to create films or music or art that enables others to let go of control and grow in faith—such that the total equation burns off more karma than it creates: this is a good thing. Back-to-back [2014 and '15] Oscar winner for Best Director, Alejandro González Iñárritu [ih-nyar-ee-too] said as much in his acceptance speech, thanking his creative team for their collective support of what was essentially, for all of them but clearly for Iñárritu, a spiritual effort. Karma yoga.
Lastly, there's Raja yoga: the way to enlightenment through psychophysical exercises. This is the kind of yoga that most of us probably think of first: yoga practiced in leotard and tights and sitting in a lotus position, cross-legged on the floor. Raja hypothesizes four levels of the human self: one's body, one's conscious mind, one's individual unconscious, and beneath it all Being Itself: The Atman that is simultaneously Brahman. The Raja yogi struggles to concentrate her or his ever distractible "monkey mind." They learn how to sit barely moving for long stretches of time, how to breathe in one nostril and out the other, and how to faithfully perform many other exercises all designed to activate the mystical Kundalini serpent lying coiled at the base of one's spine, who in turn opens up one's seven chakras, ushering in enlightenment. Mystical anatomy.
* * *
OK… in conclusion: Despite what some of our congregations looked like in the 60's and 70's, no healthy group is composed of people who are all alike. Or dominated by those who insist that newcomers behave just as they once did. Maybe a club works like that, and clubs can be good places—for golf or tennis or sailing. But not for the practice of religion. To practice religion, we need communities. Beloved communities (to use the term first coined by Harvard philosopher and Western mountain native Josiah Royce—and later picked up by Martin Luther King, Jr.) wherein everyone is honored for their unique gifts, iconoclastic as some of those may at first glance appear to be.
Just as no healthy, beloved community is composed of all similar people, no individual is solely reflective, or emotional, activist or experimental. Moreover, different life situations call for different resources to be brought into play. Most of us, naturally, will find that we make better time on one path than on the others—and so we will keep close to it. Hinduism, however, encourages people to test all four yogas and combine them in ways they find most productive.
Our Unitarian Universalist churches must do the same, it
seems to me: find ways to welcome and (as it says in our third UU principle) to accept all kinds of people.
And to offer one another a variety of ways to nurture spiritual growth among
us. If we are to be a truly welcoming
and beloved community, then we not only have to welcome different types of people, we have to offer them
practices that support and encourage their quests. Which we are
doing. More and more. Better and better. Let us keep it up! So, may it Be. Amen.

A mother raised to believe certain ethnic groups had negative attributes was staunchly against any of her children dating or befriending a child of those ethnic backgrounds. She worked quite well with them herself, but inside held any negative aspect of the person as an example of what she despised, and further justification for her beliefs.
The mother was a devoted parent, attending to her children's needs and fully supporting their various interests and pursuits. As they became older and moved on to their own homes and spouses, her supportive role in their lives was a constant. Her children chose to live within an easy distance and frequently visited to the delight of their mother. Her friends knew her favorite topic was to be avoided, for she dominated the conversation with her latest glowing report of her children whenever she could.
One day a friend asked about grandchildren, and noticed a grim response and a quick change of subject. Several weeks went by and the friend tried to find out more, the woman's daughter had been hoping to expect a child soon. The mother tearfully informed her friend that her daughter was infertile, and could never have a child of her own.
Through a series of events, the daughter happened to meet a financially desperate pregnant teen who was racially mixed. A friendship and mutual respect grew in the circumstances of their acquaintance, and the teen asked if she might consider adopting the baby the girl was now afraid to raise. After time and deep contemplation, the daughter agreed to adopt the baby and even to involve the teen in the child's life if she wished.
The daughter had great concern with how her mother would react to the situation, so she omitted details about the birth mother. At the hospital she welcomed her mother, excited for the glorious moment when her new child would join them. Just before they entered the birthing room, her daughter turned and whispered that the birth mother had a mixed ethnic background and the father was also ethnically different. The cries of the birth mother in labor prevented any further discussion.
After the infant was born, and was cradled in her daughter's arms, the mother found a moment alone with her and the new baby. She knelt next to her daughter and smoothed her hair gently from her face, cherishing her more than ever. She reached down and stroked the baby's tiny head. Tearful eyes met, and her mother nodded at the unspoken question. As she gently took the baby for just a moment, she said softly. "Will I love my grandchild any less? I could not, she's yours."
Moral of the story:
17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
In Matthew 3:17 a voice from heaven confirms that Jesus is the son of God. The words "Whom I love" are quite profound for those who believe in Jesus as Lord and Saviour. The reason I say this is that similar to the story, believers are adopted into the family of God. God says the same thing about us then, we are whom He loves – without reservation – when we were abhorrent to Him before. This story does not condone racism, but hopefully demonstrates how radical the acceptance is; and just like adoption, that God's love is not deserved.

Game of Thrones Season 8 Episode 4 Was So Melodramatic Even Peter Dinklage Couldn't Save It
Game of Thrones Season 8 Episode 4 has garnered some mixed reactions from the audiences. Peter Dinklage as Tyrion Lannister could barely save the episode with his excellent performance
Game of Thrones Season 8 has been getting some really mixed reactions from the audiences. The last episode, The Long Night, was criticized for being 'too dark' and cinematographer Fabian Wagner blamed the audiences saying, 'it's not me, it's your TV settings'. We wonder who we have to blame this time for the OTT melodrama in Episode 4, The Last of the Starks. Peter Dinklage as Tyrion Lannister gave a fantastic performance as the Hand of the Queen trying to keep peace between King's Landing and the small yet formidable army (dragons and all) headed by Daenerys Stormborn. But all the King in the North's men and all the Dragon Queen's passionate pleas couldn't save this episode from being a dud.
Then there was the well-known cameo of the Starbucks cup that shocked many fans. In a report in the Verge, Bernie Caulfield, an executive producer on the show, said that they were 'sorry' about the mistake and also said in an interview with WNYC radio that "Westeros was the first place to actually, you know, have Starbucks."
Has the last season already become a failure? There are only two more episodes to go and the battle is almost too close to call. The rifts between Jon and Dany may eventually lead to the death of either one of them. Maybe the showrunners intend to end the episode on a higher note with such a significant death – but the runup to it just isn't cutting it. The conflicts between the Starks and Daenerys isn't consistent with the characters. Sansa and Arya are too weather-beaten to give loyalty and familial bonds precedence over being killed by the Night King. The fact that they do not welcome Daenerys well seems strange, considering her dragons helped defeat the Night King and the Army of the Dead just as much as little Arya did. Sansa was wise enough to trust Tyrion, despite him being a Lannister and Arya even began trusting Clegane, given their complicated history. The Starks have also never really been power-hungry and knew that Jon never cared about the Iron Throne or who deserved to be on it. Historically, Starks have also been happy with their North and would have acquiesced to the situation had they seen Jon happy with Dany. Perhaps if there was more focus on Jon's own conflict with Dany, the kind of pressure Jon received from not his family, but the people who were under him, the wedge could have been stronger. At this point in time, it seems a flimsy reason to prolong the internal war between allies.
The over the top melodrama in this episode was a consistent feature. Whether it was Jon and Dany or Sansa and Dany or Jaime or Brienne, it was overdone and overcooked. It was completely out of character for Brienne to break down and cry hysterically at Jaime's departure to go back to Cersei. There was more to Jaime's conflict of wanting to go back to Cersei – and when human beings take decisions such as these, moments where they have to run away from could really bring them happiness, says more about them than it says about their relationship. For Brienne to break down as a teenager after Jaime's decision to leave was just as inconsistent as Sansa freaking out about Dany.
The saving grace was Peter Dinklage as Tyrion Lannister who carried a difficult but profound scene. As he made a passionate plea (had a lot of those in this episode) to Cersei to make peace with Dany, asking her to consider her child instead of other people's children, the speech hit all the right notes. However, most people could see Missandei's death a mile away. The only interesting question it left was if Daenerys would follow the footsteps of her father, the Mad King.

When you ask a person to forgive you, he will recognize how far you've come in developing the following attitudes. Jesus spoke of these attitudes in the Sermon on the Mount (see Matthew 5:3–12), stating that those who possess them are blessed.
Courtship: A Father's Role
guiding children through the journey of finding a life partner
God has given my wife and I four lovely daughters. When the time was right, they each learned about the concepts of courtship, and they signed a commitment to uphold Biblical concepts of courtship in relationships.
From the width of a person's smile, to the texture of his hair, to the length of his nose, many people struggle with accepting God's design. God has created each of us with unique features. How should we respond to what we perceive as "defects"?
When Asked to Do Wrong
responding to authorities when you cannot follow their direction
Has your boss ever asked you to do something that you think is wrong? Have your parents asked you to do something wrong? What should you do?
How a Young Girl Chose to "Stand Alone"
a nine-year-old wisely rejected exposure to the occult
Ashley* was invited to a friend's home for a slumber party, along with eighteen other nine-year-old girls. She joyfully accepted the invitation and then went to the party.
Living Demonstrations of God's Love
learning to minister through God's strength
Do you ever look back over the years and find yourself marveling at something amazing that God has done? If so, you'll understand where our family now stands as we look back and see a special work God has done, and is still doing, despite our inadequacy.
Compromise Destroys a Good Name
a challenge to live with integrity
A good name may come under attack at any time: accusations arise, pressures build, and crises happen. However, difficult circumstances alone cannot destroy a name. These challenges provide opportunities to demonstrate inner character qualities or reveal the lack thereof.
Evidences of Financial Bondage
identifying pressures that arise from the love of money
Whether through inner struggles with covetousness, small purchases beyond our income, or overwhelming pressure from debts, we've all felt the lure of greed. A person encounters significant difficulties if he places a greater value on money than he should.
Keep the Hearts of Your Children
sharing struggles and resolving conflicts
Before we can keep the hearts of our children, we must win their hearts.
How a Businessman Chose to "Stand Alone"
a man sacrificed financial gain because of his conviction
William*, a Christian man who owned a motel, had established his business on certain convictions. Among them was his conviction not to sell or serve alcohol on his property.

Author, most recently, of Asian Juggernaut: The Rise of China, India and Japan.
oday, the changing global equations are reflected in new power realities. While the world is not yet multipolar, it is no longer unipolar, as it had been from the time of the Soviet Union's collapse to at least the end of the 1990s — a period in which America failed to fashion a new liberal world order under its direction.
What we have today is a world still in transition. This may appear to some as a nonpolar world in which multiple engagements between and among important actors have become a strategic imperative. But with the emergence of new players in the geopolitical marketplace, it is only a matter of time before multipolarity begins to characterise a new international order.
The rapid pace of technological and economic change is itself a consequence of nations competing fiercely and seeking relative advantage in an international system largely pivoted on national security. For example, the tensions between internationalism and nationalism in an era of a supposed single "global village" raise troubling questions about international peace and stability. With greater public awareness from advances in information and communications technologies encouraging individuals and even some states to more clearly define their identity in terms of religion and ethnicity, a divide is emerging between multiculturalism and artificially enforced monoculturalism. The rise of international terrorism indeed shows that the information age is both an integrating and dividing force.
The emerging political, economic and security divides are no less invidious. The world is moving beyond the North-South divide to a four-tier economic division: The prosperous West; rapidly growing economies like those in Asia; countries that have run into stagnation after reaching middle-income nation status; and a forgotten billion people living on the margins of globalisation in sub-Saharan Africa.
There is also a resource divide, with the resource-hungry employing aid and arms exports as a diplomatic instrument for commodity outreach. As the spectre of resource conflict has grown, the contours of a 21st-century version of the Great Game have emerged in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Competition over oil and gas resources, driven by rapid economic growth in Asia, constitutes one key dimension of the emergent Great Game.
Also, with the rise of unconventional transnational challenges, a new security divide is mirrored both in the failure to fashion a concerted and effective international response to such threats (including transnational terrorism, ocean piracy and anti-satellite weaponry) and the divisiveness on issues like climate change. Efforts are needed to bridge the divide between the traditional security threats and the new unconventional threats that are increasingly the focus of international attention and concern. Climate change, although not a new phenomenon, belongs to the list of unconventional challenges.
Yet another global divide is centred on political values. At a time when a qualitative reordering of power is reshaping international equations, major players are playing down the risk that contrasting political systems could come to constitute an important dividing line geopolitically. The refrain of the players is that pragmatism, not political values, would guide their foreign-policy strategy. Yet regime character can hardly be ignored.
Ordinarily, the readiness to play by international rules ought to matter more than regime form. But regime character often makes playing by the rules difficult. In modern history, the fault line between democrats and autocrats has at times been papered over through a common geopolitical interest. But today the failure to build greater political homogeneity by defining shared international objectives carries the risk that, in the years ahead, political values could constitute a geopolitical dividing line.
Today, the main challenge to the global spread of democracy comes from the model blending political authoritarianism and state-steered capitalism together. What if this model — authoritarian capitalism, now deeply entrenched in countries as different as Singapore, Kazakhstan, Saudi Arabia and China — becomes the face of the future in large parts of the world? We already are seeing that where authoritarianism has acquired deep roots, a marketplace of goods and services can stymie the marketplace of political ideas.
As history attests, tectonic shifts in power are rarely quiet. Such shifts usually create volatility in the international system, even if such instability is short-lived. The paradox is that the power shifts are happening even as the United States remains the world's sole superpower and thus militarily pre-eminent. Yet the US, burdened by its internal and external problems, is no longer able to play global guardian or set the international agenda on its own. To secure issue-based support, the US has to reach out to states beyond its network of traditional allies.
Healthy, effective international institutions thus have become critical to building power stability and cooperative approaches. After all, the most pressing challenges today are global in nature and demand international responses and solutions. The rising geopolitical risks have been underscored by the multiple crises the world now confronts. Yet the representational deficit of existing international institutions and their inadequacy to play a forward-looking approach has become glaring.
The world, clearly, is at a turning point in its history. Tinkering won't help because the global crises cry out for fundamental changes in international rules and institutions. While we know the world is in transition, we still do not know what the new order would look like. That has only promoted greater international divisiveness. The divisiveness, in turn, has impeded effective action on international challenges, including climate change, nuclear proliferation and disarmament, international terrorism, global pandemics, food and energy crises and the Doha round of world trade talks.
The new global challenges and power shifts make far-reaching institutional reforms inescapable. What the world needs are far-reaching institutional reforms, not the half-hearted and desultory moves witnessed thus far. Such moves have been geared mostly at establishing ways to improvise and temporise and thereby defer genuine reforms.
To mesh with the international nature of today's challenges and the consensual demands of an interconnected world, reforms in all institutions ought to centre on transparency and democratic decision-making. The UN Security Council cannot be an exception. To help jump-start the stalled reform process, those aspiring to be new Security Council permanent members would do well to suggest an across-the-board abolition of the veto to fashion a liberal democratic institution where decisions are arrived at through a simple three-quarter majority rule.

Obese men only half as likely to get a college education
Friday, September 22, 2006 2:21 am Email this article
Men who are obese at the age of 18 are 52 percent less likely to get a college education than normal weight men according to a study from Sweden. Worse Marks
Obese men got worse marks in the ninth grade
Men who are obese at the age of 18 were also found to have gotten worse grades in ninth grade than normal weight men.
This held true even after adjusting for intelligence and their parents socioecomonic status.
Conclusion: Discrimination the cause
The researchers concluded that this was due to discrimination.
"Discrimination in the educational system and other sectors of the society may explain these strong associations," the authors concluded.

How to Embed YouTube Videos in a row
Disclosure: Please note that this article may contain affiliate links. You can read my full disclosure here.Need help with the Tech-side of blogging? Join my Facebook Group and get some answers.
For this example, I just chose three YouTube videos of Tributes I enjoy by Skillet and Thousand Foot Krutch. You can play the videos in the small screen, or open up to full screen.
Here is the HTML & CSS code
Make sure you using the Classic Editor, Text tab or see below for Gutenberg instructions.
div.full-width {position:relative;float:left;width:100%;}
@media screen
and (min-width: 751px), screen and (min-device-width:751) {
div.video {position:relative;float:left;padding:5px;width:30%;}
iframe {width:100%;}

Working in the Gutenberg Editor
First add the Custom HTML block
Then add your code, make sure the quotations appear straight up and down, if they are the fancy quotes, the code will not work.
See this example showing the fancy curly or slanted quotes, the Gutenberg and Classic editor will ignore these, and you will get weird output.
So you need to delete them and re-type the quotation mark, so it appears straight up and down like this for every spot where their is a quotation:
A trick I use, is to paste the code into notepad, this is program that comes with Windows free, needs to be notepad not wordpad or Microsoft Word these will not work for this step. Copy and paste the code there, and if there are any curly or slanted quotes, I copy one and then click edit on the menu and select replace, I'll paste the curly or slanted quote in the find box, and type in the straight quote in the replace box and then click replace all
It is pretty difficult to see in this screenshot, but this is what I do here:
It is a great time saver if you need to replace the same thing in multiple locations.
If you find your theme is causing an issue or you have trouble, and would like some help, check out my services page and we can book a time for a remote screenshare session.

Why Laurel House Surgery Charges For Some Services
Isn't the NHS supposed to be free?
The NHS provides most health services to people free of charge, but there are some exceptions. Prescription charges have existed since 1951. Sometimes a charge is made because the service is not covered by the NHS; for example Medical Reports for Insurance Companies. You will be advised of the charge and time scale when you leave the document.
What is covered by the NHS and what is not?
The Governments contract with GPs covers medical services to NHS patients. Sometimes the only reason that a GP is asked to provide information is because they hold a position of trust in the community, or because an insurance company wants to be sure that the information provided to them is true and correct.
Examples of Non-NHS services which GP's can charge their NHS patients:
Accident/sickness insurance certificates and reports
Certain travel/holiday vaccinations
Private medical insurance reports
Reports for 'fitness to start a diet regime.'
Medicals for HGV/Taxi/PSV
Elderly Driver Medicals
Holiday Cancellation forms
Shotgun Certificate Verification
Driving Licence Forms
Private sick notes and letters
Examples of non-NHS services which GP's can charge other institutions:
Medical reports for an insurance company
Some reports for the DSS/Benefits Agency
Examinations of Local Authority/Ofsted Reports
Why does it sometimes take so long for my GP to complete a form or report?
Time spent completing forms and preparing reports takes the GP away from the care of our NHS patients. Our GP's have a heavy workload—paperwork takes up an increasing amount of time. Depending upon the work load and schedule of each GP please allow up to 21 days for your form to be completed.
I only need a doctors signature—what is the problem?
When a doctor signs a certificate of report, it is a condition of the Medical Register that they only sign what they know to be true. In order to complete even the simplest of forms, the doctor might have to read a patients entire medical record.

Instant Pot Black Beans
~by Josie Smythe
- 1lb dry black beans
- 5 cups broth (or water)
- *Seasonings of your choice. I used:
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp Mediterranean Seasoning
- Salt to taste
- Rinse beans & remove any rocks or shriveled beans.
- Add beans, broth and seasonings to pot (except salt*), stir.
- Cook on High Pressure (Manual or Pressure Cook) for 25-30 mins*;
- 15 min Natural Pressure Release.
- Check beans for doneness-if not soft enough cook a few more minutes.
- Add salt to taste.
- *You can cook the beans in broth or water without any seasoning, or season any way you like.
- *I was taught that salt and tomato sauce can prevent beans from getting soft so I add after cooking.
- (not sure how true this is but I follow this advice anyway)
- *We like our beans pretty soft so I cook mine for 28 mins. Adjust the cook time to suit your taste.
- Beans freeze really well. I portion mine out for freezing.
- 1lb of dry beans makes approximately 6 cups of beans.
- A 15oz can of beans (drained), contains approximately 1.5 cups or 9oz of beans.

Text Widget Editing Problem
Outstanding instructions. Thanks for that! I'm sure a lot of people will find that useful.
Yes, definitely… My IE works well with wordpress but editing text widget is the prob… but my FF won't work well with wordpress though I can highlight the text in the textbox (i tried it when raincoaster suggested). So, right now I am using Safari.
Still, thanks a lot janie! It is really detailed and well understood. Thumbs up!
Glad to be of help any time, with my own limited knowledge… :)
after all, that is what blogging is all about… :-) the reason why you are here in the forum is you want to learn and convey your learnings at the same time. :-)
I have sort of the same problem. Except, the edit button is missing within the widget. I can't edit or remove it.
Wow, nevermind. I did the reverse. I used IE and it works.
I hope WP support fixes the Text Widget problem soon. I use IE 6.x and the suggested workarounds aren't practical so I'll continue to wait. Nothing terribly urgent but it would be good to have it working again.
Bit the bullet, installed FireFox and Text Widgets are fully accessible again.
Hopefully the IE issues will be fixed, but in the meantime you should have much smoother sailing with Firefox.
agree with thesacredpath. :-)
Just adding my name to the people having problems seeing half the text box – IE 6.0.
My IT guy (aka hubby) may or may not go for Firefox as a fix – I'm low on hd space. We'll see if he has time.
Same problem. Unable to edit any text in widget. Currently using IE7. Have not checked this in Firefox, Opera or any other system, but IE7 is definitely not working.
@ toeverygeneration
The entire Mozilla FireFox folder takes up 20MB installed. You cannot be this low coz if you were Windows OS (assuming you're running Windows) would have problems running properly. All the best!
@ shimworld
Thanks for that info. We'll take a look.
i'm having the same problem as kongreguide.
my existing text widget does NOT have the edit button when i use firefox 18.104.22.168
but when i switch to ie, the button is there, with the same problem as the op. at least i have access to it and edit it.
but switching back to ie is such a hassle

Kyleigh's Law is upheld
February 22, 2011 Leave a comment
That is not surprising, given the fact the Legislature has the right to pass laws that really do not do any good.
The more I think of this law, the more I do not like it. Its main accomplishment seems to be giving police an excuse to stop young drivers.
Sure, the law is legal, but that does not negate the possibility of the Legislature repealing it.

Every year there are new jobs that never existed before. 65% of kids in school today will have job titles that haven't even been invented yet. In this new era of the gig economy, new career types and scopes are popping up everywhere.
With new opportunities constantly on the market, it is no wonder that an average adult today will have 5+ jobs throughout their lives. In Australia, 60 percent of employees leave their current jobs due to limited career growth or progression. About 80% also switch careers because they want new challenges.
In addition, switching professions has been made easy by the rise of ed-tech with access to an affordable education with vocational and online courses. Learning always opens up many more doors for those who dare.
So, what are some of the hottest careers one may want to consider today?
1. Social media manager
What does a social media manager do?
Until 2006, there were no social media managers. Social media marketing was not a thing. Now it's about 12% of the total marketing budget and expected to grow at 17% CAGR.
The social media manager will create and execute marketing campaigns across main social media channels and manage the overall digital presence of the brand. Some of the responsibilities are:
- Development of brand awareness and image
- Content management across digital platforms
- Managing ad investments to optimize SEO (Search Engine Optimisation)
- Scheduling and automating regular updates to ensure customer engagement
How can I become one?
A social media manager needs basic marketing knowledge and copywriting skills. You will also need to know how to do market research and be knowledgeable about SEO as well as other analytics and automation tools.
While a marketing degree and experience working on marketing campaigns are required, you can still enter the field with transferable skills, confirmation that you are self-taught, and proof that you are capable of putting together a good campaign.
First, take advantage of the myriad of useful courses that are available from trustworthy and affordable providers such as Training.co.nz and obtain a certificate. Second, work on your own social media campaigns to see how you can gain followers. It'll be a portfolio sample you can show your potential employers that you know how to reach a base.

2. Software Developer
What does a software developer do?
Mobile software developers are the ones that create the brain of any given device and create applications that help users complete certain tasks on devices such as computers and smartphones. There are over 23 million software developers in the world today.
They design the codes which direct the system to produce the desired output following the user's input. They were increasingly involved in not only the logical design of the systems but also the interface of the applications to optimize the user experience.
They have to build and test and also ensure their systems or application can integrate with other types of products in the field that a user may use in conjunction.
How can I become one?
Being a software developer requires serious training. You must sign up for courses and be sure to find programs with good mentors. Coding is a language. And just like any other verbal language we speak, you will forget if you don't use it often.
There are many projects you can take on online for free so you can keep practicing. Design your own application and sign up to do light software development as a contractor for startups and nonprofits. Once you have a bit of relevant experience under your belt, you can apply it to larger firms.
3. Data analyst
What does a data analyst do?
A data analyst will gather, organize, and analyze any sets of data to answer meaningful questions to help the intended user of the data make decisions. They often are part of the analytics and reporting teams but normally are not part of setting up data warehouses or architecting data collection.
Their main duty is to ensure that the reporting structure is set so the users get the correct data so they can drive the right insights and thus make the right decisions. Given the level of dependencies on data today for all businesses, this is a crucial role in the company.
How can I become one?
Data analysts need to have data analytics training and must be proficient with few tools such as Excel and SQL. Again, there is no shortage of programs available to learn those skills.
In addition to insight generation, data visualization using tools like Tableau will help improve your candidacy. With the proper training and business acumen, you will easily be able to switch into a data analyst role from any given field.

The Spring of 2020 the coronavirus and the federal, state and Austin restrictions on public activity had a major short term impact on the Austin real estate market. The governmental restrictions were most severe in late February, March and part of April. In mid April restrictions began to be relaxed.
Initially , the number of homes sold dropped significantly, down as much as 24% from the February totals.
As the real estate market began opening up, the pent-up demand can be seen in the number of home sales that are Pending, under contract however not closed. Pendings in the first of June are at the highest level in Austin history and 15% higher than June of one year ago. Demand for homes remains very strong as people continue to relocate to Austin.
Seller's concerned about the uncertainty of the coronavirus impact and the desire to restrict outsiders into one's home, have significantly decreased the number of homes for sale. The number of homes on the market today is down 27% from one year ago.
Prices overall have remained steady during this time and we are again seeing prices increasing because of the high demand and low inventory. For Homes priced below $600,000j it remains an Extreme Seller's Market. For homes over $2M, it remains an Extreme Buyer's Market. Every Zip Code and Price range is different. See the June Market Report at the Tab listed above for the complete analysis of this market. Experience in the Austin real estate market is critical in the rapidly changing landscape.

Never before has it been so easy to configure your Mayer machine online – and best of all, you can see immediately how much your individually configured machine will cost. In order to make the configurator even easier to use, we have made a number of improvements, about which we will inform you in the following article.
Transparency and trust have always been an important component of the business relationships we maintain with our customers and partners. For this reason, we have decided to publish our list prices of the machines and options already during the configuration. This gives you full price transparency at all times.
Package selection
Benefit from our Standard & Premium packages. Based on the most popular machine configurations we have developed Standard & Premium packages for our machines. Decide on a Standard or Premium Package and benefit from the attractive price advantages compared to a conventional configuration of individual components. We can also offer you a shorter delivery time for our Standard & Premium packages.
Additional Information
Not every option of a Mayer machine explains itself. For this reason, the information symbol next to each option in the configurator provides you with extensive detailed information. This is intended to support you in your decision-making process and the individual configuration of your Mayer machine.
Should any questions remain unanswered, you will of course always have the opportunity to seek advice from one of our product experts.
Usage and user-friendliness
To be able to quickly identify which machines meet your requirements, we have installed a product filter. With the help of this functionality, you can make a pre-selection based on your operating conditions. This includes, for example, the choice between machines for tree nurseries and ornamental plant machines, the output of the machines in pots per hour, and the pot sizes used.
To ensure that you do not lose the overview during configuration, we have installed a navigation bar. So you always know which configuration step you are currently in. After the configuration you will then receive a code via e-mail, which you can use to call up your existing configuration and adapt it again.
You have a special requirement for which you have not found any suitable configuration options? Please use the text field in the process step "Contact data" to inform us about your request or contact one of our product experts directly. They are happy to assist you.
Test our Mayer machine configurator today and receive your non-binding offer for your next Mayer machine!
