Around four and a half billion years of Terrestrial evolution. Prehistory, history, Middle Ages and contemporary. Space Age! At least three hundred thousand years of human evolution. Century XXI.2009/2010. We are seven billion people in this tiny, but very rich blue Planet with the greatest bio-diversity of the Galaxy.
(In my very humble opinion) - We've developed! We are the primates and Omnipotent masters of the World and of a few miserable kilometers/miles of the Universe. At least we have already set foot on the moon, around 384.000km. (207.343 miles)
Paradoxically, we are the most important beings and also the worst of the worst ones on the Planet. If we live the space and nanotechnology age, why are we not able to create a less heterogeneous society? I do not want to allude to the Utopian Socialism of Carl Max and Engels because I believe that man is not noble enough to really adopt it.
I also do not have nothing against the Capitalism of Adam Smith and his representatives multi-billionaires in the list of Forbes magazine. Rich and poor people will always exist. If everyone had ten million dollars, who would sweep the streets and throw away the trash?
Poverty is acceptable. Nobody needs a Rolls-Royce, a yacht or a Lear-Jet to live. The only thing that is socially and morally unacceptable is the human misery.
We are supposed to think that the politicians are political precisely because they think so. But a huge plenty of people still live in absolute poverty and die of hunger and starvation every day. The images of a starving Africa and adults and children trying to eat the garbage like rats and vultures in an Asia and Latin America also miserable, speak for themselves. We also can't forget the complete intellectual poverty. The most difficult challenge.
If all forms of power can corrupt and the political leaders do not find a solution to eradicate poverty on the planet, there is only one alternative. Or those miserable people rebel and seize power and establish anarchy before they also get corrupted, seen that is intrinsic not to corrupt, or the World really has no solution.

Our three new agouti, Shakira, Lupe, and Bonita have arrived!
Agouti are primarily vegetarian and feast on a range of fruits, seeds, roots and nuts.
Although they are more than twice the size of their rodent cousins, the guinea pig, something they have in common is that they have teeth that are constantly growing their whole lives. Renowned for their strong teeth - they're the only species that can chew through the tough outer shell of a Brazil nut!
As a result of this amazing feat, agouti contribute to the health and well-being of the rainforest (they hail from the rainforests of Central and South America) and therefore the communities of people that make their living from it.
When Brazil nuts are abundant agouti will often bury them so they can dig them out later once food is scarce. Any nuts that are buried and forgotten have the chance to turn into a Brazil nut tree – regenerating the forest for future generations!
Two agouti species are endangered due to hunting and habitat loss, and if agouti populations decline the rainforest will suffer as a consequence.
You can help at home by buying rainforest friendly paper products that are endorsed by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) or Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC).
Many toilet paper brands are also endorsed by these de-forestation free labels - check the packaging at your supermarket before your purchase.

Recently we had a chance to talk with Mar Velez, YJLI alumni class of 2018. Mar is currently working as a special assistant to a Councilmember Noel Gallo District 5 in Oakland, California having recently left her position at Communities United for Youth and Restorative Justice (CURYJ).
She started by talking about what got her involved in youth justice work. "As a young person growing up in South Central California, I saw a lot of discrimination and lack of opportunity for myself, my siblings and my friends. When I left the neighborhood, I saw the stark difference and how absurd that difference was. I've always had a connection to young people and have been passionate about fighting for them. In this way, I've always followed by heart. I love how young people will just tell you what they need. Youth work has to be front and center in all of our social justice work.
"While I was a fellow with YJLI, I was managing and coordinating a statewide campaign out of CURYJ to create better life outcomes for youth in California. We focused on the ability of prosecutors to direct file youth into the adult court, without any judicial oversight. We researched who was being direct filed and saw that it was mostly black and brown youth, and that white youth who were committing the same crimes weren't being sent into the adult system. CURYJ, as part of NJJN member, California Alliance for Youth and Community Justice, created a campaign to get Prop 57 on the ballot. Then in 2016, the Governor's office endorsed it and made it part of his proposition. We were in a time crunch to gather two million signatures in only four – six months. We put all hands on deck to meet that number. Once it was on the ballot we did a lot of voter education, convening town halls, and educating people who were directly affected.
"After Prop 57 passed, we worked on a Positive Youth Justice Initiative (PYJI). We worked with formerly incarcerated youth in Alameda County to conduct research on the juvenile justice system's policies. We saw that judges were transferring youth to the adult system, and we wanted to end that practice. We also wanted to shut down the juvenile detention center in Alameda County and promote community-based alternatives. We talked to the youth and parents and asked them what would work for them. We also surveyed about 200 Alameda County residents, who showed overwhelming support for alternatives to detention for youth. We promoted these findings in a report with formal recommendations. Then in our DA race in Alameda County, we used this report to educate voters in order to get a more progressive DA in office. Even though the incumbent won, everyone, including the DA's are more educated and informed."
In discussing what motivates her, Mar talked about how this work is really needed. That we need everyone creating spaces and really investing in young people to reach their potential. "There are moments when I see myself in the young people – their passion and dedication. These youth are trying to prove that they are more than a statistic. Helping these youth in turn helps me stay grounded and feel fulfilled. To do good youth work as a true ally and advocate, you need to be able to stick with them; you have to be a long-distance runner."
We asked Mar what her dream youth justice goal would be. She said that she wanted a world where young people would not face poverty and other root causes of these problems.
"We should have a system that's preventative, that gives people jobs and opportunities to excel. I frankly wouldn't want this system at all. My work in juvenile justice was a training ground; it tested me. There is nothing else like it. I feel like I can do almost anything because my teachers were young people. They gave me a huge lesson; I'm so grateful for my experience."

"MCX Today Tips"
Gold traders in India stayed away from new deals on Tuesday as fourth day of jewellers' strike hit retail demand in the world's biggest consumer of bullion. More Information About MCX Today Tips please visit the site mcx-today.blogspot.com
* "Buying is very slow as jewellers have extended their strike for another two days. We have hardly done fresh imports in the last two days," said a dealer with a private bank, which imports gold for jewellery makers.
* The strike, which started on Saturday and will end on Wednesday, is in protest against two import duty increases since the start of the year.
* "We are idle since last week, and jewellers are in no mood to reopen stores," said Harshad Ajmera, proprietor of JJ MCX Gold House in Kolkata.
* MCX Gold on the Multi Commodity Exchange was down 0.38% at Rs 27,792 per 10 grams. The additional duty will increase the cost of gold by more than Rs 1,000 per 10 grams.
* Silver futures fell more than a percent. Silver for May delivery was 0.85% lower at Rs 57,025 per kg.

Cardiff and Vale College Football Academy secures prestigious FAW stamp of approval
Cardiff and Vale College's Football Academy has been given a significant stamp of approval by the association responsible for governing football in Wales.
Awarded the FAW Focus College status for maintaining the highest standards of football provision, CAVC's Football Academy had to meet strict performance and management criteria to be recognised for its delivery of the sport at the College.
Having been in post for just six months, CAVC Football Academy Director Grant Kalahar has already made a significant impact on the football provision at the College and is delighted with the FAW's recognition:
"Over the last six months we have worked hard and cohesively with various departments across the College and the University of South Wales to build a comprehensive player development programme for players aged 16-19 outside of Elite Player Performance academies – the youth development scheme initiated by the Premier League. The learners have thrived in the environment that we have provided and have made significant progress in a very short time as a result."
Recognising the professional approach to football in post-16 education the award provides the College with an opportunity to benchmark itself against a set of quality standards provided by the FAW, and Regional Development Coordinator for the FAW, Jay Probert, was significantly impressed with the College's provision. He said;
"It gives us great pleasure to award Cardiff and Vale College with FAW Focus College status for the 2015/2016 academic year. The FAW Focus College programme recognises the achievements of colleges throughout Wales who strive for excellence in key areas such as facilities, technical syllabus and community links. These are aligned to the FAW strategic aims highlighting the integral contribution Colleges make to the wider delivery of football provision in Wales.
"On behalf of the Football Association of Wales, may I take this opportunity to congratulate the College on this achievement which I'm sure will only enhance the existing relationship which has been established between the two partners."
Over the last six to 12 months a number of the academy's players have gone on to access a higher standard of football outside of the College after significantly improving under its guidance and through utilising links made with football clubs, and two players – Hendrix dos Santos and Carlos Indjai - have represented Wales with the Learning Difficulty National Squad.
Based at the House of Sport next to the Cardiff City Stadium, the CAVC Football Academy currently provides opportunities for learners to play in male, female and disability programmes with future plans set to include three male teams, two female teams and a disability squad.
And it's not just catering for those who want to utilise the facilities and coaching available on the pitch, the academy also prides itself on providing learners with the opportunities to develop off the pitch, helping to provide experience in other possible careers in the sport, such as logistics, coaching and management and back room support with current students involved in work experience placements with Cardiff City FC.
Grant Kalahar explains:
"The partnership work with the Cardiff City FC Academy has provided the learners with important opportunities to also test out the interpersonal skills required to make contacts and great impressions with people in the football industry, and our partnership with Ely Rangers FC has provided opportunities for our learners to apply performance analysis and coaching skills in the field.
"The learners involved in the CAVC Football Academy are a credit to the College and ultimately it is their application and commitment to what we are about that has enabled us to achieve the FAW Focus College status, and I'm delighted that our provision has received this prestigious recognition."

Musical Theater Therapy: "Welcome To My Apartment"
Month Upon A Time is a song cycle written by Jeff Blumenkrantz; the actor/composer/lyricist/bon vivant who is best known, well, from today's Musical Theater Therapy, probably. Month Upon A Time is a set of original songs, each one related to a month of the year (as opposed to a month of the week, I guess). As Jeff explains at the beginning of the clip... you know what, I'll let you listen for yourself.
Julia Murney has been on Broadway as the 15th Elphaba and the 43rd Elphaba and the 47th Elphaba, and toured, starring as Elphaba in the second touring company of Wicked and starring as Elphaba in the Royal Caribbean Cruises production of Wicked. She also did voice over work for the Spice channel.
Today's song is "Welcome To My Apartment," the October-inspired song from Jeff Blumenkrantz's Month Upon A Time song cycle. Today's lesson: Cocktober isn't a month, it's a state of mind.

Musical Theater Therapy: "Being Good"
Musical Theater Therapy reminds you that, for an authentic look at the Black experience in America from the end of the 19th century up to the Civil Rights struggles of the 1960s, you can't skimp on Jews for your creative team. Some shows tried to provide an authentic depiction of the experiences of Black America with no Jews involved in the book or music. Those shows closed before they got to Boston.
Some shows tried to do this with a single measly Jew. Unless that Jew is Marvin Hamlisch, you're not going to provide the authenticity a sophisticated Broadway audience expects. Two Jews? Almost insultingly light on Jews, even with 2.
It took 4 of the biggest (Jewish) names in Broadway history to create Hallelujah, Baby!--"a chronicle of the African American struggle for equality during the 20th century"--and that show only won 5 of its 9 Tony nominations. If Jule Styne (nee Julius Kerwin Stein), Arthur Laurents (nee Levine), Adolph Green, and Betty Comden (nee Basya Cohen) can't convey that struggle, who can? Their upper west side temple is blocks from Harlem!!! (Like 16 blocks.)
The show was written for Lena Horne but instead starred Leslie Uggams. You know how all those performers look alike, so the first time anyone probably noticed was when they announced the Tony award for Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Musical and the presenter was confused at the misspelling of Lena's name.
The show made a star of Uggams (which must be true since both the show's and her Wikipedia entries state this), and she is still a star today. She stars in one of the most hotly anticipated movies of 2018: Untitled Deadpool Sequel 2018.
We are fortunate to have Ed Sullivan to introduce today's song ("Being Good Isn't Good Enough"); not because his Irish heritage means he probably wasn't Jewish, just because it's nice to have someone else set up the song. He doesn't set up Tip and Tap who appear in the second part of the performance. I won't either. Watch it and figure it out for yourself.
Today's lesson: don't skimp on Jews if you want to convey the struggles of the Black American.

Musical Theater Therapy: "Nothing In This World Will Ever Break My Heart Again"
Among the current/recent crop of television shows playing in the musical milieu, Nashville is certainly one of them. It begins its sixth, and final, season tonight (the timing on this is perfect only through luck) on CMT (note that CMT once stood for Country Music Television, but, like Music Television, Video Hits One, Cartoon Network and Game Show Network, the channel's executives realized they had more programming flexibility by using the initials and abandoning the idea that they were ever exclusively focused on a certain type of programming... that MTV still has the Video Music Awards, which requires videos to be played on MTV in order to be eligible to be nominated for/win a VMA and then doesn't play videos is one of the great Catch-22s of our time).
Musical Theater Therapy salutes the show's endurance: ABC cancelled the show after the fourth season, but the cast was able to rally viewers to support the save the show with the not-at-all clever #BringBackNashville hashtag (we find the idea that hashtags actually accomplish anything to be #AdorablyLaughable but sure, go ahead and tell Boko Haram to #BringBackOurGirls because, as terrorists, they care a lot about what's trending on Twitter), and thanks to a syndication deal with Hulu they added 2 more seasons to the show.
We cynically wondered whether or not the Hayden Planetarium, which is part of The Frederick Phineas and Sandra Priest Rose Center for Earth and Space (based on the novel Push by Sapphire) was doing its own singing. Then we were told that 1) the planetarium was not in the show, it was Hayden Panettiere who is not only an actress, but also a model and singer and a Grammy nominee and far more talented than anyone here at MTT World HQ, so we will stop being so cynical (no we won't).
Today's song is "Nothing In This World Will Ever Break My Heart Again"--a poignant ballad that is, thus far, the show's only song nominated for the Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Music and Lyrics. It lost to one of the wonderfully gay songs from the Tony Awards (probably).
Today's lesson is to tune in to the beginning of the final season of Nashville on January 4th and also not to expect Boko Haram to be very responsive to your hashtag campaign... despite the success of Nashville.

Musical Theater Therapy: "Popular"
Musical Theater Therapy considers the question "what's more important than being popular?"
Not having a house land on you, for one.
We were about to add something about not needing to fake your own death, but then we realized that is basically tied in to being popular. Popular people do not have to fake their own deaths. In our experience anyway...
Today's song is "Popular" from the hit musical Wicked based on Gregory Maguire's Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West which is based on The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum which is, as you might expect, based on the novel Push by Sapphire.
Is it an allegory about the difficulties one encounters when one isn't an able-bodied straight white heterosexual dude, often at the hands of able-bodied straight white heterosexual dudes? I don't know, Hillary Rodham Clinton, is it?
In 2016 Hillary Clinton won which vote again? It wasn't the Electoral College it was the ______ vote.
Wicked has been running on Broadway since Fall 2003. It's on track to become the 7th longest running show in Broadway history (it will pass Oh! Calcutta! in early 2018). It's one of very few shows to pass a billion dollars in ticket sales and is second behind the Lion King as Broadway's highest grossing show of all time. And in all that time did Hillary Clinton see it even once?
Apparently not.
Today's song is "Popular" from Wicked. Today's lesson is that the popular vote isn't worth shit if you don't campaign seriously in the rust belt. And today's lesson is you can't take minority voters for granted. And today's lesson is you can't take progressive voters for granted. And today's lesson is also not to use a private email server no matter what bullshit reason you think is going to fool us.

Musical Theater Therapy: "Mein Herr"
We here at Musical Theater Therapy were torn as to whether we gave 2017 its kiss off on the last day of 2017, or if that would end up cursing us by presuming things couldn't get worse in the last 18 hours of the year (or possibly of human existence). We're not superstitious like that, but c'mon, why tempt fate?!
Also when you factor in the largely forgettable nature of the past week of songs, you'll agree that we need to kick of 2018 with some solid music, and up first is "Mein Herr" from the movie version of Cabaret.
When Bob Fosse directed the movie version of Cabaret (1972), some substantial changes from the stage production were made: the older couple were out, replaced by sexy young characters; all of the non-diegetic songs were excised (when anyone's singing everyone within the show can hear and see it happening, it's not some imagined monologue for the audience to better understand someone's motivations)--everything is performed in the Kit Kat Klub except for one song performed by Future Nazis of America (or whatever) in a bier garden, a precursor to white dudes in khakis carrying tiki torches in Charlottesville; Sally is talented (she is not in the original staging) and American, while Cliff is super gay, I mean British (the nationalities reversed).
Cabaret holds the record for the most Oscars (8) won by a movie that didn't win Best Picture (it lost that and Best Adapted Screenplay to The Godfather). Bob Fosse's Oscar, plus his 2 Emmys for Liza with a Z, plus 2 Tonys he won for Pippin in the same year make Fosse the answer to the question that gets you aboard the secret Republican gay cruise on American Dad. Cabaret is the 9th live action movie musical preserved by the National Film Registry, and while it's not a feel-good movie, it's a damn good movie.
"Mein Herr" is one of 2 new songs written for the movie ("Maybe This Time" was already written and added to the movie)--all 3 songs have been added to the stage productions that followed. We dedicate the song to the shitty year 2017. It's our way of breaking up with the year (even though we couldn't have stayed together if we tried).
2016 was a brutal year and some people were optimistic that 2017 would be better. Those people were wrong: 2017 was horrible. Today's lesson: don't expect anything except misery--you'll never be disappointed!

Crystal Cruises
(toll free) 8000 3570 2891
Crystal Cruises offers an intriguing, yet fabulous, luxury cruise experience. With three ships that carry fewer than 1,080 passengers each, two of which are larger than other ships in the luxury market, Crystal has carved out an enviable niche, offering all the amenities and activities associated with larger vessels, yet still managing to provide exemplary service, superb cuisine and total freedom of choice - garnering numerous awards along the way. The fleet comprises three ships: the 51.044 ton (940 passenger) Crystal Symphony, launched in 1995, the roughly a third larger, 68,000 ton (1,072 passenger) Crystal Serenity, which debuted in 2003, and the more intimate, sixty-two guest, Crystal Esprit. The ships have one of the industry's highest staff-to-guest and space-to-guest ratios, and one of the most loyal repeat passenger ratios. Beyond their well-deserved reputation for dining, service and 'big ship' options (from casinos and fitness facilities, to a wide range of entertainment) - Crystal Cruises is particularly known for signature features that include on-board Sushi bars, vast wine cellars, innovative learning and enrichment programmes and a superb programme of entertainment, including Broadway-style shows. It also offers one of the best children's activity programmes in the luxury cruise market. Whilst Crystal Cruises still faithfully maintains cornerstone cruise traditions such as elegant afternoon tea, paddle tennis and assigned main restaurant dining (all three ships enjoy a mixture of open seating, anytime dining and traditional dining practices with assigned tables), as a long time innovator in the on-board experience, the company has opted for just two straightforward evening attire preferences, thus easing the stress of packing and planning. Casual daytime attire is acceptable on-board any time before 6pm, thereafter the 'Crystal Casual' attire policy will apply to all areas of the ship and includes dresses, skirts, dressy trousers and blouses or jumpers for women, and dress shirts and sport coats (no tie required), open-collar or collared polo shirt and dress trousers/smart trousers for men. For those evenings boasting the celebratory ambiance of a special occasion, formal attire will be required i.e. dark suits with ties or tuxedos for men and formal cocktail or evening dresses, or formal evening separates for women.

Crystal Esprit features a relaxed patio café, and all three vessels feature room service and in-suite dining twenty-four hours a day. From early and late-riser breakfasts, to speciality buffets, snacks and grills, you are spoilt for choice with daytime dining options. Ice-cream, frozen yoghurt and freshly baked biscuits will tempt you at the Ice Cream Bar, while afternoon tea is a daily highlight, served with 'white-tie-and-tails' or period costume panache.

John Stuart Mill was born in London in 1806. His father, James Mill, historian of India and radical writer for the utilitarian cause, supervised his rigorous education from the age of three onwards. In 1823 he followed his father into the East India Office, starting as a clerk and eventually becoming Chief Examiner in 1856.
Mill became the editor of the London and Westminster Review in 1836; his first book, the System of Logic appeared in 1843; the Principles of Political Economy in 1848; On Liberty in 1859; Utilitarianism and Consideration on Representative Government in 1861; The Subjection of Women in 1869.
In 1851, Mill married Mrs Harriet Taylor; he retired from the East India Office having opposed to its dissolution in 1858. His wife died the same year and thereafter he lived in Avignon and in London. He was Member of the Parliament for Westminster from 1865 to 1868. He died in Avignon in 1873 and was buried alongside his wife.
Mill's education is often described as one of narrow utilitarian nature, and he himself compares it to a "course in Benthamism" in the sense that "the greatest happiness" was always his father's guiding light.
He found the searching scrutiny to which Socrates subjected his companions to be an invaluable lesson in precise thinking. Furthermore, the content of the Platonic and the Aristotelian works which Mill read would have introduced him to a view of happiness more in keeping with his father's high moral tone than one reducible to bentham's more egalitarian view of pleasures.
Mill's mental crisis in 1826 began the period of transition in which he was open to new ideas and in which he became somewhat disillusioned with his utilitarian inheritance. (…) From Wordsworth and poetry he saw that emotion and intellect need not be at odds: truth is the aim of both. The view of happiness rationally sought by the philosopher needed to complement the view of happiness in inward joy and tranquil contemplation expressed by the poet. From the Saint-Simonians he saw that his own uncertainties were a reflection of the critical and transitional nature of the times where disharmony had replaced the previous order of an organic past. From Coleridge he learnt the importance of a literary culture which needed to develop alongside the march to political democracy, to ensure the quality of life and the enlightenment of popular opinion.
The cause to which Mill had committed so much energy and enthusiasm as a young man was not one which he felt able to give up altogether. Instead, it continued to act as a framework into which he incorporated new elements. Indeed, his formal definition of utility is orthodox Benthamism in its account of happiness as pleasure and the absence of pain; the difference lies in his further elaboration. Mill seeks to accomplish two things, both the defence of utilitarianism as properly defined and the criticism of utilitarianism as a popularly defined.
The idea that the general happiness is the ultimate end of action Mill thinks is something that all rational and impartial people would agree to. All things of value are seen to be so either as means to or as part of happiness; there can not be no proof beyond this appeal to the psychological constitution of human nature. Thus virtue, which Mill sees as the chief good is valued as a means to the ultimate end but also, through association, comes to be desired for its own sake. (…) Justice is used in a number of instances, with reference to legal rights, moral rights, the idea of desert, of not breaking faith, of impartiality, of equality, but seems to have no common attribute. In each case it seems to justify punishment for the breach of a duty but this is true of other moral actions generally. What characterises justice is that it concerns those duties which give rise to a correlative right in some other person or persons; other moral obligations do not. When Mill talks of rights he means that individuals have a valid claim that society should protect them against any violation, and this is because justice concerns the most vital and basic social utilities essential for human wellbeing. (…) Liberty, he claims, because of its association with the rules of justice, cannot be overridden by other less basic utilitarian considerations. If justice stands at the heart of utilitarianism, one of the rights it guarantees, the right to liberty is similarly central. (Joseph Malaby Dent (1849-1926) in Utilitarianism, On Liberty, Considerations on Representative Government)
Abstracts of Mill's Utilitarianism:
Chapter I
The creed which accepts as the foundation of morals, Utility, of the Greatest Happiness Principle, holds that actions are right in proportion as they tend to promote happiness, wrong as they tend to produce the reverse of happiness. By happiness is intended pleasure, and the absence of pain; by unhappiness, pain and the privation of pleasure. To give a clear view of the moral standard set up by the theory, much more requires to be said; in particular what things it includes in the ideas of pain and pleasure; and to what extent this is left an open question. But these supplementary explainations do not affect the theory of life on which this theory of morality is grounded – namely that desirable as ends; and that all desirable things (which are as numerous in the utilitarian as in any other scheme) are desirable either for the pleasure inherent in themselves, or as means to the promotion of pleasure and the prevention of pain.
Chapter IV
Virtue, according to the utilitarian conception, is a good of its description. There was no original desire of it, or motive to it, save its conduciveness to pleasure, and especially to protection from pain. But through the association thus formed, it may be felt a good in itself, and desired as such with as great intensity as any other good, and with this difference between it and the love of money, of power, or of fame, that all of these may, and often do, render the individual noxious to the other members of the society he belongs, whereas there is nothing which makes him so much a blessing to them as the cultivation of the disinterested, love of virtue. And consequently, the utilitarian standard, while it tolerates and approves those other acquire desires, up to the point beyond which they would be more injurious to the general happiness than promotive of it, enjoins and requires the cultivation of the love of virtue up to the greatest strength possible, as being above all things important to the general happiness.
Those who desire virtue for its own sake, desire it either because the consciousness of it is a pleasure, or because the consciousness of being without is a pain, or for both reasons united; as in truth pleasure and pain seldom exist separately, but almost always together, the same person feeling pleasure in the degree of virtue attained, and pain is not having attained more. If one of these gave him no pleasure, and the other no pain, he would not love or desire virtue, or would desire it only for the benefits which it might produce to himself or to persons who are cared for.
How can the will to be virtuous, where it does not exist in sufficient force, be implanted or awakened? Only by making the person desire virtue – by making him think of it in a pleasurable light, or of its absence in a painful one. It is by associating the doing right with pleasure, or the doing wrong with pain, or by eliciting and impressing and bringing home to the person's experience the pleasure naturally involved in the one or the pain in the other, that is possible to call forth that will to be virtuous, which, when confirmed, acts without any thought of either pleasure or pain. (…) Both in feeling and in conduct, habits is the only thing which imparts certainty; and it is because of the importance to others of being able to really absolutely on one's feelings and conduct, and to oneself of being able to rely on one's own, that will to do right ought to be cultivated into this habitual independence. In other words, this state of the will is a means to good, not intrinsically a good; and does not contradict the doctrine that nothing is a good to human beings but in so far as it is either itself pleasurable, or means of attaining pleasure or averting pain.
But if this doctrine be true, the principle of utility is proved. Whether it is so or not, must now be left to the consideration of the thoughtful reader.
Chapter V
The equal claim of everybody to happiness in the estimation of the moralist and the legislator, involves an equal claim to all the means of happiness, except in so far as the inevitable conditions of human life, and the general interest, in which that of every individual is included, set limits to the maxim; and those limits ought to be strictly construed. As every other maxim of justice, so this, is by no mean applied or help applicable universally (…) The entire history of social improvement has been a series of transitions, by which one custom or institution after another, from being a supposed primary necessity of social existence, has passed into the rank of an universally stigmatizes injustice and tyranny.

Open Cell has joined forces with regeneration firm U+I, the Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham and SynbiCITE to launch a biolab at the Old Laundry Yard in Shepherd's Bush Market.
Phase one of the project will provide 20 low-cost, start-up studios in shipping containers, allowing innovators and entrepreneurs to build, test and demonstrate biotech-focused innovations.
Co-founder Helene Steiner conceived the idea for Open Cell while working in Microsoft Research and also moonlighting as a lecturer in the Royal College of Art.
She was teaching biodesign alongside Dr. Thomas Meany who was working in the Biotechnology Dept. of Cambridge University.
They saw talented students with incredible ideas but nowhere to develop them.
Helene explained: "There is little or no infrastructure available to help talented scientists, designers and early-stage biotech businesses to take their concepts to the next stage.
"Open Cell is a meeting place for anyone in the sciences or design disciplines to contribute to the burgeoning biotech sector in London.
"We are delighted U+I embraces our vision and is providing space for our first hub."
Project funders and advisors professors Paul Freemont and Richard Kitney, co-directors of SynbiCITE, Imperial College London, said: "We are seeing new companies popping up in unlikely places, outside the traditional University environment.
"By supporting Open Cell, we hope that early stage innovators can propel their ideas to prototypes faster than ever before.
"We are particularly excited about the opportunities for collaboration between designers, artists and biotechnologists that will make Open Cell and the UK the leading place for innovation in bio-based applications."
Richard Upton, Deputy CEO U+I, added: "For the past 18 months we have been working closely with the London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham and the market traders at Shepherd's Bush to modernise this fine London Market whilst retaining its treasured history and sense of identity.
"Careful listening to the community reveals a real appetite for positive change and we have made some subtle interventions that have started to increase footfall and diversity again.
"Our partnership with London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham at the Old Laundry Yard has encouraged us to take a more audacious step – providing a vibrant new destination attracting great local businesses which complements Shepherd's Bush Market.
"Conscious of the need to grow the local economy and to provide an opportunity for all, we are delighted to partner with some of the most exciting people in the Biotech world to create Open Cell at the Old Laundry Yard, a short walk from the Royal College of Art and Imperial College.

Think Twice Before You Pay For Essay Writing Services
- custom essays are quite cheap (though this fact should alert you, and soon you will find out why it is so);
- custom essays are well-structured and professionally written (very often, they are written by college professors themselves. Why do they do so? Keep reading to understand);
- custom essays can't be detected by plagiarism checkers, because they are not plagiarized actually though they were not written by students themselves;
- custom essays may help you understand the nature of a good paper and write a high-quality essay by your own afterward;
The dangers of buying essays online
- knowing your knowledge and writing style, it will be very easy for your professor to understand that it was not you who has written a new essay. If your previous works were not as good as a new one, your professor will definitely suspect something wrong here; yes, your new work is in a different league now. But how did it happen? Have you suddenly become a guru of essay writing? A good professor will hardly believe that.
Why pay people to write essays
- when you order an essay, you can't check the professional skills of your ghostwriter. All of them will definitely say that they are professionals and they perfectly know what they do. All of them will say they are native speakers and they guarantee a high quality of the work they do. But how can you make sure that your money will not be spent on anything unworthy?

Probably he got caught in a steel trap like this one over here," their dad said, pointing to an exhibit in the next case.
"But how could he get free from that?" Julie asked.
#37- A Little Enemy
A Character story about purity.
Jason was sitting at the dining room table when his dad arrived home from work.
"Hi, Dad," Jason called. "How was the driving home?"
"Hi, Son. Oh, not bad. A little slippery, but, thank the Lord, I made it without any problems. What are you studying?"
"Oh, I'm just finishing some reading for science class for tomorrow. We're studying about mammals right now. Look at the picture of this lion. I'll bet it's the most dangerous animal in the world!"
"He sure does look frightening," Mr. Jensen agreed. "However, the lion isn't the most dangerous in terms of the number of people killed by him. Guess which one is."
"Well, if it isn't a lion, I suppose it's a tiger, or cheetah, or something like that."
"Nope. Guess again."
Jason thought a minute. "Oh, I know then. It's a snake of some type, isn't it?"
"No. It isn't any kind of snake either."
"Really? Then I'm about out of guesses."
"I'll give you a big hint. How much sin does it take for a person to be separated from fellowship with God?"
"Just one."
"And how big does that sin have to be?"
"Any sin will separate us from God. But that still isn't much of a hint. . . Oh, it must be a small animal. But I can't think of any small animals that are dangerous."
"Well, I guess I'll have to tell you. It's a housefly."
"A housefly? You've got to be kidding! A fly isn't dangerous."
"Oh yes it is. Flies collect various germs and viruses on their feet as they feast on garbage. Then they land on our food and soon that disease spreads. In this way the fly brings more sickness and death than any other animal."
"So then it isn't really the fly that's dangerous, but the disease that the fly carries."
"You're right, of course. Flies only live 30 days. But the female lays 250 eggs before she dies and these eggs take only 8 to 30 hours to hatch. Thus, in just five generations- less than 5 months-we could have more flies than you could count in a lifetime!"
"They're hard to catch, too. They seem to be able to see in every direction," Jason added.
"And they can. Each of their compound eyes has 4000 lenses, and each lens is looking in a slightly different direction. While on the alert, he will taste food with his feet and, if it is something he wants, he will suck it in with his proboscis."
"But what if the food is hard, like a crumb of bread?"
"Flies can only eat liquids, Jason, since they have no teeth or jaws. But there is plenty to eat for him. If the garbage is gooey, old Mr. fly really can enjoy it."
"I sure didn't know a fly could be that dangerous. Next time I see one, I'll swat it so we can stay healthy."
"Now why do you suppose God made flies if they aren't good for us?"
"Maybe so they could be food for frogs and stuff."
Mr. Jensen laughed. "Yes, the fly is part of the balance in nature. I think He also has a spiritual lesson in mind. Can you think of what it is?"
"Well, it reminds us that little things can hurt us just as much as big things," Jason suggested.
"Yes, that's true. In many countries of the world, people are not aware of the danger of germs. In some tropical countries, people allow flies to crawl on them, even in their eyes, without shooing them away. But a more serious problem is when people allow sin in their lives without seeking the Lord's cleansing through Christ. And just like flies, it only takes one to cause big trouble."
"Yah. It's easy to forget to keep short accounts with the Lord as a Christian too."
"But it's not difficult, is it? He promised, 'If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us . . . and cleanse us.'"
"Thanks for that reminder, Dad. Before supper, I think I'll go upstairs, and swat a sin fly that I allowed in today."

About La Vida al Camp: The inspiration for La Vida al Camp comes from the book written by Jaume Raventós in 1962: La Vida al Camp, Memòries d'un Cabaler, (Life in the Country, Memories of a Gentleman) . The book is a reflection on Jaume's childhood experiences on the Raventós family farm in Sant Sadurní d'Anoia. The book is a beautiful expression of life on the Penedés farms back then, and how farmers of the region worked their land with respect, harmony and love. La Vida al Camp wines are produced from grapes grown by farmer friends of the Penedés region. These farmers share the same feeling of passion and vision for nature as the Raventós family. They work their land with organic viticulture methods.
Tasting Notes: La Vida al Camp is a genuine Cava in the pure sense and qualities. It is vinified and aged a minimum of 15 months. It is a fruit forward wine with subtle citric aromas, freshness and hints of grapefruit. It has a rich and full aftertaste. It is a perfect combination of aging aromas, hint of fruits and generous finish.
91pts by International Wine Report
"La Vida al Camp comes from the Raventos family, but is a separate, distinct project from the Raventos i Blanc wines. It is blended with indigenous grapes from the region consisting of 45% Macabeu, 45% Xarello, 10% Parellada and brings aromas and flavors of lemon zest, tangerine, brioche, sulfur and smoky minerals. The mousse is fine, yet intense providing incredible energy to the wine. Lovely notes of lemon and orange zest linger on the fresh, crisp finish."

Labor Day 2013
As we celebrate Labor Day let us remember the labor movement has fought to gain benefits many workers enjoy today. By working together and standing as one we achieved such things as employee health care, pensions, workplace safety laws, the 40-hour workweek, the right to form unions, collective bargaining and countless other provisions that have built a strong middle class.
We all must do what it takes to protect these rights. We fight together. We move forward together.
Everyday is Labor Day
Click the image above to view "Labor Is..."
The officers and staff of IBEW Local 21 would like to wish all of our members a Happy and Safe Labor Day weekend.
CFL Labor Day Event
This Labor Day, union members and allies will converge on Chicago's Historic Pullman District to commemorate its pivotal role in the history of the American labor movement.
The Pullman factory was the site of the 1894 Pullman Strike, which saw thousands of workers walk off the job after their wages were slashed by 25%. The strike spawned a national boycott that brought the nation's railroads to halt. The events also led directly to the establishment of Labor Day as a federal holiday.
Though the strike was put down after President Grover Cleveland ordered military intervention, it served as an early demonstration of the power of labor solidarity.
The Pullman factory later saw the birth of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, the first African-American led union recognized by the American Federation of Labor. The union led by A. Philip Randolph would go on to play a key role in the Civil Rights Movement.
This year, the Chicago Federation of Labor and the Illinois Labor History Society will honor this past with a program of events beginning at 1 p.m. on Labor Day (Monday, Sept. 2) at the Pullman factory at 11057 S. Cottage Grove. Walking tours of the Pullman factory and district will begin at 2 p.m.
The events, also sponsored by the Pullman State Historic Site and the National Parks Conservation Association, will also draw attention to the effort to have the entire Pullman District declared a national park.
For more information, visit the Pullman State Historic Site's website.

|LOW T-Cell Count
Mar 8, 2001
My partner was diagnosed a few months ago with AIDS. His T-cell count was almost 0, unfortunately the lab lost the initial viral load count, but obviously it was extremely high. He has been on HAART for almost 4 months and his viral load is apparently "undectectable" in his tests. He also has MAC and has been taking the MAC "cocktail" for 2 months. His lungs have cleared dramatically, but his doctor basically told me that with his t-cell count so low it will very likely never rise to normal levels. Is this true. Are we just biding our time or is it possible to raise his t-cell count to levels that will exceed 100?
Response from Dr. Feinberg
It is certainly possible for his T cells to rise well above 100, but it make take time, so be patient. I have seen patients' T cells improve to the lower limit of normal over time with good HIV therapy.
