Recently, in India, there was an issue connected with JNU (Jawaharlal Nehru University). It became public issue because it concerned not only with the free speech rights of students, law and order dimensions, national security issues necessitating court's intervention etc. but also it sought to portray the superiority of the ideology of Leftism (based on the philosophy of Karl Marx), raising an intellectual banner of revolution. This article addresses the intellectual aspect of this issue.
This article is divided into three parts.
The first part deals with the human tendency to understand things around them and to put this understanding of world (Nature) in some coherent order (i.e. in a theoretical manner; ideology; philosophy).
The second part deals with the Marxian philosophy, under which banner Leftists politicians (Sitaram Yeturi and tribe), historians (Romila Thapar and tribe), intellectuals (JNU's Kanhaya Kumar and company) and other sundry secularists of various hues opetate in India.
The third part deals with the "Sacred Secrets of this Infinite Universe" in the words of Sri aurobindo.
As rational beings, we humans always try to understand Nature in a reasoned manner. This rational attitude has given us endless streams of human thinking. It has given us many religions, spiritual visions, philosophies, ideologies and branches of modern science.
In their quest for knowing the reality of Nature, humans acquire knowledge.
Whatever we are today, is the outcome of the acquisition of the knowledge about this reality. What is the state of our knowledge about the reality today?
We have many religions, spiritual visions, philosophies, ideologies and branches of modern science, all competing for the place of the "correct" enunciation of the reality.
Unfortunately, these diverse religions, spiritual visions, philosophies, ideologies and branches of modern science do not agree on many things with each other while enunciating this reality.
The coveted place, the crown of the correct enunciation of the reality, is extremely narrow: it can accommodate only "one" title to the claim. The "truth or reality" can be only one.
Fortunately, lately the humanity has come to realize (by the discovery the theory of Relativity by Elbert Einstein) that the "reality" is not absolutely "one"; that the reality has relative values; that "all" relative values of the reality, which values differ with one another, are correct ones.
This new realization of truth by humanity in modern times was not totally unknown to us in the past. Long back, it was said, "The truth is one; but wise people say it differently – satya ekam; vipra bahuda vadanti".
The greatest advantage of the correct understanding of Nature is that with the aid of this knowledge, we can make deduction about the things, happenings or events that "shall", as against "may", take place in future. Having this advantage, we can re-engineer the future or get ready to face it in a prepared manner.
One thing that strikes one's mind, while going through all these past attempts to understand and resolve conflicts, is that almost all religious sages, philosophers, intellectual thinkers and scientists talk of some kind of a "conflict of duality".
Some of the examples of this duality are: Mara and Divine Forces (of Buddhism); Satan and Angels (of Christianity); Prakriti and Purusha (of Sankhya philosophy of Hindus); Shaitan and Allah (of Islam); Angra Mainyu and Ahura Mazda (of Zend-Avesta); Evil and Good ( of Ethics and Morality); Spirit and Matter (of Western philosophies); Maya and Brahma (of Hindus); Thesis and Anti-Thesis (in Dialectics of G. W. F. Hegel); Thesis and Anti-Thesis (in Dialectics of Karl Marx); Opposite Sexes (almost universally found in Nature); Electrons and Protons (in atoms); Matter and Anti-matter (in modern Physics); Centripetal and Centrifugal forces (in Nature); Gravity and anti-gravity (natural forces) etc.
It seems that these two elements inherent in Nature are opposite or antagonist to one another; still these opposite elements are complementary to one another; they create conflict with one another but make a harmonious balance to the whole structure.
In modern times, Hegel was the first person to formulate precisely the laws of working of Nature under the name Dialectics.
And Karl Marx was the first person to popularize Dialectics by putting its foundation on Matter and by showing that its principles governed the working of Nature.
The science and technologies never stop growing. They make humans' life comfortable. But they also make a burial ground of obsolete things and obsolete ideas. Old things and old ideas go out of fashion and new things and new ideas take their place.
Marxism, as a philosophical system to understand Nature and Nature's basic working principles, and an inevitable advent in society of Communism as the product of the working of those principles had stirred humanity to its core in the 20th century. Till recently, this exposition had captured the imagination of the best of human minds.
The appeal of this idea was greatly augmented by the political events of the October 1917 Russian Revolution and the establishment of the Soviet Union; revolutions in China and Cuba; and several other countries.
With the disintegration of the Soviet Union and China taking the road of capitalist economy, the intellectual appeal of Marxism has almost died. Though still in many countries political movements and armed struggles under the banner of Marxism are going on {like CPI (Maoist) in India}, their intellectual sheen is nowhere in existence.
As a philosophical construct and political ideology, Marxism no longer attracts the best minds in explaining the new realities of the modern world. Even, it is not able to explain in its philosophic constructs the demise of Soviet Union or, say, China taking the capitalist road.
This inability of 20th century Marxism has emboldened all sorts of petty philosophers to attack Marxism as a concept and nibble its disjointed pillars.
Marxism of 20th century has not grown to adapt the 21st century and explain the new realities in terms of its basic principles. Feeble Marxists have been tinkering much with its old mold to explain away the realities of the new world but do not dare to grow any further and make bold assertions in terms of its pristine understanding of Nature in terms of Thesis, Anti-thesis, Synthesis; Change from Quantity to Quality; Negation of Negation; Spiral Evolution etc.
Before setting out the basic premises – philosophical foundation – of Marxian Dialectical Materialism, we would like to add here that the assault on Marxism by the whole horde of capitalist intellectuals, or if you love to call them philosophers, is ill-motivated; selfish; and anything but philosophical.
And, we would also like to add that in challanging the substance of Dialectical Materialism of Karl Marx, Spiritualism is much more plane, honest and profound than this ill-motivated criticism by such capitalist intellectuals.
Marxian concept of dialectics in its abstract form may be summed up thus:
There is nothing in Nature that may be called an absolute truth; all human concepts about natural phenomena are relative in their contents.
Whole Nature is in motion; no part of it is static.
This motion is generated by a mechanism that is brought about by the inherent irreconcilable contradictions inherently present in every entity, or constituent, of Nature.
These contradictions give birth to conflicts that distort the harmonious structure of that entity. These conflicts accumulate in the quantitative form in that entity up to a certain limit. This limit is the critical point up to which these conflicts can be accommodated by that entity without changing its nature or quality. The moment these conflicts cross this critical limit, the quality of that entity changes or an upheaval takes place and the old entity becomes qualitatively different thing.
This process of change never stops in Nature, whether one likes it or not. This process is termed by Marx, and his friend F. Engles, 'Negation of Negation'. Here, a thing comes into being or takes its birth by negating a thing that was having a well-established place and this new thing, after enjoying a well- established place for certain time, is itself negated by a new thing. Over a period of time this pattern of change appears to human mind as spiral evolution.
This dialectical process is an integral part of Nature's function. Though the general principles of dialectics operate with mathematical accuracy, in their detailed applications they operate in very flexible manner, depending on so many factors; nonetheless, in overall contours they always operate with mathematical accuracy. This faithful accuracy of its basic principles and their universality in operation make it possible for dialectics to forecast and predict. These two philosopher revolutionaries devoted their entire life in applying these dialectical principles to physics, anthropology, society, economics and, even, military science. They created a brilliant philosophical edifice called Scientific Socialism or, better known as, Communism.
Fredrick Engles says: "Outlines of the General Plan (for the application of dialectics to Nature): (1 ).. (2)…. (3) Dialectics as the science of universal inter-connection. Main laws: transformation of quantity and quality – mutual penetration of polar opposites and transformation into each other when carried to extremes – development through contradiction or negation of the negation – spiral form of development."
He further says: "And indeed they (laws of dialectics) can be reduced in the main to three: The law of the transformation of quantity into quality and vice versa; the law of the interpenetration of opposites; the law of the negation of the negation."
The founders of Marxism claimed that the dialectical process was a universal one, governing from material natural phenomena to the evolution of human society. F. Angles says: "We are not concerned here with writing a handbook of dialectics, but only with showing that the dialectical laws are real laws of development of nature, and therefore, are valid also for theoretical natural science."
By applying these "laws" to capitalist society, prediction was made that this society would transform, as of necessity under the natural process, into Socialist society and this view of Socialism was dubbed as Scientific Socialism. It was claimed that in due course of time, when old habits of capitalist mentality die under the new social system, Socialism would transform into Communism and state would wither away. It was explained that in socialist society "each would work according to his capacity and get according to his work" while in communist society "each would work according to his capacity and get according to his needs."
When dialectics is applied to material world in general and history of mankind in particular, a dialectician is faced with the problem of an "irreconcilable" nature.
The dialectical model has a peculiar component of spiral form of its (evolutionary) movement.
When dialectics is applied to human history, it predicts that the 'primitive Communism', or the first stage of social evolution of history, would be repeated at higher level of the 'spiral' in the form of "scientific Communism'. Marx pointed out that in primitive Communism, there was 'direct' struggle of people with Nature as there were two contradictory classes (Nature and mankind), that there were no social class conflicts there and that owing to this absence of social class-conflicts there was no 'wastage' of human energy in the form of social class conflicts. He said that, likewise in the 'modern' or 'scientific Communism' also, there would be 'direct' struggle of people with Nature as there would be no two social conflicting classes and no wastage of human energy.
Then, the questions arise: How the 'modern Communism' would progress further in the dialectical terms? How the 'modern Communism' would become the 'thesis' and would bring out as of necessity the 'two contradictory' elements, which should already be inherent in it? How would such 'modern Communism' be negated and replaced by a new 'Thesis' under the law of 'Negation of Negation'? If we look to the Marxian interpretation of human history, we find that from 'Primitive Communism' to 'modern Communism' there is one full cycle; the question arises: What consequence would there be after the completion of this one 'full cycle' under the law of 'Spiral Evolution'? Would a 'direct' struggle of humans with Nature in modern time affect the very constitution of mankind? Or, in other words, would this process of 'humanity's direct struggle with Nature' change our race into a new or higher race under the law of 'Spiral Evolution'? Would, then, there be an onset of a 'new cycle' of a new 'social evolution' of the 'new humans or trans-humans'? Marxism, or the low crop Marxist philosophers of today, have no inkling that such questions would necessarily arise under their philosophy; and much less they have the intellectual caliber to answer them.
Sri Aurobindo answers such questions in a much more profound way. He inspires a hope for a better future of humanity. Let us see what he says.
Sri Aurobindo, the great sage, writing in the dominant materialist age, says with a strikingly penetrating depth of mental inquiry: "By that hunger mysticism profits and new religions arise to replace the old that have been destroyed or stripped of significance by skepticism which itself could not satisfy because, although its business was inquiry, it was unwilling sufficiently to inquire. In the corollary of things we are dealing here, the most profound question that has ever been asked and will ever be asked is who, why and when initiated this universal evolution? And, mind's Inquisitiveness logically further asks how the universe stood before this initiation?
"Answers to these questions are the most sacred secrets of Nature.
"We speak of the evolution of Life in Matter, the evolution of Mind in Matter; but evolution is a word, which merely states the phenomenon without explaining it. For there seems to be no reason why Life should evolve out of material elements or Mind out of living form, unless we accept the Vedantic solution that Life is already involved in Matter and Mind in Life because in essence Matter is a form of veiled Life, Life a form of veiled Consciousness.
"And then there seems to be little objection to a farther step in the series and the admission that mental consciousness may itself be only a form and a veil of higher states which are beyond Mind. In that case, the unconquerable impulse of man towards God, Light, Bliss, Freedom, Immortality presents itself in its right place in the chain as simply the imperative impulse by which Nature is seeking to evolve beyond Mind, and appears to be as natural, true and just as the impulse towards Life which she has planted in certain forms of Matter or the impulse towards Mind which she has planted in certain forms of Life. As there, so here, the impulse exists more or less obscurely in her different vessels with an ever-ascending series in the power of its will-to-be; as there, so here, it is gradually evolving and bound fully to evolve the necessary organs and faculties."
Sri Aurobindo says: "The average human being even now is in his inward existence as crude and undeveloped as was the bygone primitive man in his outward life. But as soon as we go deep within ourselves, – and Yoga means a plunge into all the multiple profundities of the soul. – we find ourselves subjectively… surrounded by a whole complex world which we have to know and to conquer.
"The most disconcerting discovery is to find that every part of us – intellect, will, sense-mind, nervous or desire-self, the heart, the body – has each, as it were, its own complex individuality and natural formation independent of the rest; it neither agrees with itself nor with the others nor with the representative ego which is the shadow cast by some central and centralizing self on our superficial ignorance.
"We find that we are composed not of one but many personalities and each has its own demands and differing nature. … We find that inwardly too, no less than outwardly, we are not alone in the world; the sharp separateness of our ego was no more than a strong imposition and delusion; we do not exist in ourselves, we do not really live apart in an inner privacy or solitude. Our mind is a receiving, developing and modifying machine into which there is being constantly passed from moment to moment a ceaseless foreign flux, a streaming mass of disparate materials from above, from below, from outside.
"Much more than half our thoughts and feelings are not our own in the sense that they take form out of ourselves; of hardly anything can it be said this is truly original to our nature. A large part comes to us from others or from the environment, whether as raw material or as manufactured imports; but still more largely they come from universal Nature here or from other worlds and planes and their beings and powers and influences; for we are overtopped and environed by other planes of consciousness, mind planes, life planes, subtle matter planes, from which our life and action here are fed, or fed on, pressed, dominated, made use of for the manifestation of their forms and forces."
In one of his numerous letters to his disciples written in answer to their queries, Sri Aurobindo says: "I mean by the psychic the inmost soul-being and the soul-nature. This is not the sense in which the word is used in ordinary parlance, or rather, if it is so used, it is with great vagueness and much-misprision of the true nature of this soul and it is given a wide extension of meaning which carries it far beyond that province. All phenomena of an abnormal or supernormal psychological or an occult character are dubbed psychic… though these things have nothing whatever to do with the psychic….. There is a constant confusion between the mentalised desire-soul which is a creation of the vital urge in man, of his life-force seeking for its fulfillment and the true soul which is a spark of the Divine Fire, a portion of the Divine. Because the soul, the psychic being uses the mind and the vital as well as the body as instruments for growth and experience, it is itself looked at as if it were some amalgam or some subtle substratum of mind and life. But in Yoga if we accept all this chaotic mass as soul-stuff or soul-movement we shall enter into confusion without an issue."
He says in another of his letters: "What is meant in the terminology of the yoga by the psychic is the soul element in the nature, the pure psyche or divine nucleus which stands behind mind, life and body (it is not the ego) but of which we are only dimly aware. It is a portion of the divine and permanent from life to life, taking the experience of life through its outer instruments (i.e. mind, vital and physical body).
"People do not understand what I mean by the psychic being, because the word psychic has been used in English to mean anything of the inner mental, inner vital or inner physical or anything abnormal or occult or even the more subtle movements of the outer being, all in a jumble; also occult phenomena are often called psychic.
"The distinction between these parts of the being is unknown. Even in India the old knowledge of the Upanishads in which they are distinguished has been lost. The Jivatman, the psychic being (Purusha Antaratman), the Manomaya Purusha, the Pranmaya Purusha are all confused together.
"The psychic part of us is something that comes direct from the Divine and is in touch with the Divine. In its origin it is the nucleus pregnant with the divine possibilities that supports this lower triple manifestation of mind, life and body.
"There is this divine element in all living beings, but it stands hidden behind the ordinary consciousness, is not at first developed and, even when developed, is not always or often in the front; it expresses itself, so far as the imperfection of the instruments allows, by their mean and under their limitations. It grows in the consciousness by Godward experience, gaining strength every time there is a higher movement in us, and, finally, by the accumulation of these deeper and higher movements, there is developed a psychic individuality, – that which we call usually the psychic being. It is always this psychic being that is the real, though often the secret cause of man's turning to the spiritual life and his greatest help in it. It is therefore that which we have to bring from behind to the front in the Yoga…..
"The psychic being may be described in Indian language as the Purusha in the heart or the Chaitya Purusha, but the inner or secret heart must be understood, hrdaye guhayam, not the outer vital-emotional centre."
The Mother in answer to the question: "Are the soul and the psychic being one and the same thing" says thus: "This depends on the definition you give to the words. In most religions, and perhaps in most philosophies also, it is the vital being which is called "soul", for it is said that "the soul leaves the body", while it is the vital being which leaves the body. One speaks of "saving the soul"… but all that applies to the vital being, for the psychic being has no need to be saved! It does not share the faults of the external person; it is free from all reaction."
Sri Aurobindo says: "At a certain stage in the Yoga when the mind is sufficiently quieted and no longer supports itself at every step on the sufficiency of its mental certitude, when the vital has been steadied and subdued and is no longer constantly insistent on its own rash will, demand and desire, when the physical has been sufficiently altered not to bury altogether the inner flame under the mass of its outward ness, obscurity or inertia, an inmost being hidden within and felt only in its rare influences is able to come forward and illumine the rest and take up the lead of the Sadhana Its action is like a searchlight showing up all that has to be changed in the nature; it has in it a flame of will insistent on perfection, on an alchemic transmutation of all the inner and outer existence. It sees the divine essence everywhere but rejects the mere mask and the disguising figure."
He further says: "What is meant by (the psychic's) coming to the front is simply this. The psychic ordinarily is deep within. Very few people are aware of their souls – when they speak of their soul, they usually mean the vital + mental being or else the (false) soul of desire.
"The psychic remains behind and acts only through the mind, vital and physical wherever it can. For this reason the psychic being except where it is very much developed has only a small and partial, concealed and mixed or diluted influence on the life of most men. By coming forward is meant that it comes from behind the veil, its presence is felt already in the waking daily consciousness, its influence fills, dominates, transforms the mind and vital and their movements, even the physical. One is aware of one's soul, feels the psychic to be one's true being, the mind and the rest begin to be only instruments of the inmost within us."
The Mother says: "In the ordinary life there's not one person in a million who has a conscious contact with his psychic being, even momentarily. The psychic being may work within, but so invisibly and unconsciously for the outer being that it is as though it did not exist. And in most cases, the immense majority, almost the totality of cases, it is as though it were asleep. Not at all active, (it is) in a kind of torpor.
"It is only with the sadhana and a very persistent effort that one succeeds in having a conscious contact with his psychic being. Naturally, it is possible that there are exceptional cases – but this is truly exceptional, and they are so few that they could be counted – where the psychic being is an entirely formed, liberated being, master of itself, which has chosen to return to earth in a human body in order to do its work. …
"In almost, almost all cases, a very sustained effort is needed to become aware of one's psychic being. Usually it is considered that if one can do it in thirty years one is very lucky – thirty years of sustained effort, I say. It may happen that it's quicker. But this is so rare that immediately one says, "This is not an ordinary human being". That is the case of people who have been considered more or less divine beings and who were great yogis, great initiates."
Says Sri Aurobindo:"All Yoga is in its nature a new birth; it is a birth out of the ordinary, the mentalised material life of man a higher spiritual consciousness and a greater and diviner being.
"No Yoga can be successfully undertaken and followed unless there is a strong awakening to the necessity of that larger spiritual existence….(T) here must be a decision of the mind and the will and, as its result, a complete and effective self-consecration.
"The mere idea or intellectual seeking of something higher beyond, however strongly grasped by the mind's interest, is ineffective unless it is seized on by the heart as the one thing desirable and by the will as the one thing to be done.
"He who seeks the Divine must consecrate himself to God and to God only. The secret Teacher, the inner guide is already at work, though he may not yet manifest himself or may not yet appear in the person of his human representative…. (I)f we desire to make the most of the opportunity that this life gives us, if we wish to respond adequately to the call we have received and to attain to the goal we have glimpsed, not merely advance a little towards it, it is essential that there should be an entire self-giving. The secret of success in Yoga is to regard it not as one of the aims to be perused in life, but as the whole of life."
He further says: "The first necessity is to dissolve that central faith and vision in the mind which concentrate it on its development and satisfaction and interests in the old externalized order of things. … The next need is to compel all our lower being to pay homage to this new faith and greater vision. All our nature must make an integral surrender. Our whole being – soul, mind, sense, heart, will, life, body – must consecrate all its energies so entirely and in such a way that it shall become a fit vehicle for the Divine.
"Everything in us has constantly to be called back to the central faith and will and vision. Every thought and impulse has to be reminded… that 'That is the divine Brahman and not this which men here adore'.
"Every vital fiber has to be persuaded to accept an entire renunciation of all that hitherto represented to it its own existence.
"(A seeker of spirit) has to harmonize deliberate knowledge with unquestioning faith… the passivity of the soul… has to be fused with the activity of the divine helper and the divine warrior. To him as to all seekers of the spirit there are offered for solution the oppositions of the reason, the clinging hold of the senses, the perturbations of the heart, the ambush of the desires, the clog of the physical body, but he has to deal in another fashion with their mutual and internal conflicts and their hindrance to his aim… "
Sri Aurobindo says: "There must be a flaming concentration of the heart on the All and Eternal and, when once we have found him, a deep plunging and immersion in the possession and ecstasy of the All-Beautiful.
"But on that which as yet we know not how shall we concentrate? And yet we cannot know the Divine unless we have achieved this concentration of our being upon him. It is not enough to devote ourselves by the reading of Scriptures or by the stress of philosophical reasoning to an intellectual understanding of the Divine; for at the end of our long mental labor we might know all that has been said of the Eternal, possess all that can be thought about the Infinite and yet we might not know him at all. . . All that the Light from above asks of us that it may begin its work is a call from the soul and a sufficient point of support in the mind. .. The idea may be and must in the beginning be inadequate; the aspiration may be narrow and imperfect, the faith poorly illumined or even, as not surely founded on the rock of knowledge, fluctuating, uncertain, diminished; often even it may be extinguished and need to be lit again with difficulty like a torch in a windy pass. But if once there is a resolute self consecration from deep within, if there is an awakening to the soul's call, these inadequate things can be a sufficient instrument for the divine purpose.
"Therefore the wise have always been unwilling to limit man's avenues towards God; they would not shut against his entry even the narrowest portal, the lowest and darkest postern, the humblest wicket-gate. Any name, any form, any symbol, any offering has been held to be sufficient if there is the consecration along with it; for the Divine knows himself in the heart of the seeker and accepts the sacrifice."

Dara named dean of School of Human Behavior
by Norm Miller
Louisiana College elevated one of its own as dean of the School of Human Behavior, Dr. Joshua Joy Dara, who is senior pastor of Zion Hill Baptist Church in Pineville.
Having previously served as an adjunct professor, Dara became assistant professor for Criminal Justice in 2017. As dean, Dara will oversee Psychology, Social Work, Criminal justice, and the graduate program for Social Work.
Dara's expectations for the School of Behavior to be known for academic excellence and successful graduates: "Social work is community-oriented work. A lot of our students in criminal justice are going in to law enforcement, some will become lawyers or border patrol even psychology, we are sending people into society," said Dara. "I want our school to produce students that will change the world for the glory of God."
Because he loves teamwork, Dara utilizes his life experiences to dedicate service that contributes to the success of Louisiana College. "I served as an adjunct professor for 2-3 years, then I became an assistant professor, and I have been in this role as a full-time employee for more than a year. So if you look at it together, it's been about 4 years," Dara said.
"Dr. Dara's life history, his commitment to superior academics, and his spiritual walk with God all bring a welcome, but not unusual combination of attributes already embodied by our faculty," Louisiana College President Dr. Rick Brewer said. "Joshua's unique life history reflects what can happen when a person who comes from nearly nothing will strive for excellence. He has attained a commendable measure of success."
Noting his life has been "a very exciting journey," Dara said what enables him to "willingly accept these responsibilities is my commitment to the Lord Jesus Christ. I have always been a servant leadership type, and I always want to serve because Christ has been so good to me. The least I can do is to make myself available to serve in the kingdom of God."
Raised by white American Baptist missionaries who taught him the Gospel and provided a diverse background, Dara, who is from Nigeria, said, "The Lord has enabled me to serve in different capacities. God was just opening doors, I mean I am a very blessed man."
Since 1996, Dara has served as senior pastor of Zion Hill Baptist Church in Pineville. As an attorney, in 2015 he completed 20 years of legal services for children who had been removed from their parents' care, or who were otherwise under the care and custody of the Department of Children and Family Services, for the Mental Health Advocacy Center in Pineville.
Dara holds several state licenses to practice law, has had several articles and books published, and has been actively involved in local civic organizations. In 2009, he was named one of CenLa's Fifteen Most Influential People by the CenLa Focus Magazine.
Dara earned his Juris Doctorate from Southern University, Baton Rouge: a Master of Laws (post doctorate) from the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville: and a Bachelor of Arts in Communications from California Baptist University, Riverside.
"I am a product of a Baptist college," Dara said. "So, this is like I am at home. I've always been crazy about Baptist colleges and institutions, and the Baptists are very much responsible for my success today. I owe it to them. God has used them to be a blessing to me."
Dara said he is "glad to be a part of what God is doing in this college. You know one thing that is really driving me to this -- I love the president of this college. I am telling you God is using that man in an incredible way."
"It's easy to lead when you have a good foundation to build upon," Dara continued. "I felt eager and prepared very much so because of experience both in business, ministry, law practice, and the academics. And I cherish a leadership that has integrity."
Louisiana College's Vision of Preparing Graduates and Transforming Lives "is the lifeblood of Louisiana College," Brewer said. "And Dr. Dara brings the kind of energy and insight to help us realize the success for which we strive. His leadership undergirds the continuing turnaround at this great institution."
Louisiana College exists to Prepare Graduates & Transform Lives and is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges.

3DS recently celebrated its seventh anniversary. That's a long time for any gaming system, and Nintendo isn't planning on abandoning its dedicated portable anytime soon. The latest Nintendo Direct showed that Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey is launching in 2019, so we can count on at least another year out of the platform.
Over the years, a ton of great games have been made for 3DS. From Nintendo alone we've seen Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, Super Mario 3D Land, Super Smash Bros. for 3DS, various Fire Emblem and Pokemon titles, Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, Kid Icarus: Uprising, and many more. It's also been home to many high-quality third-party titles.
With everything that has been released over the years, what's your favorite 3DS game? Let us know in the comments below.
Highlights from last week's topic: March 2018 Nintendo Direct reactions
I thought it was a great direct! I know a lot of it was ports, but the majority of those games were ones that I haven't gotten the chance to play before, like Luigi's Mansion and Okami, so I'm really happy. Plus, that Splatoon DLC looks amazing. Wrapping it up with smash might have made it my personal favorite direct ever
The fact that there's Octopath Traveler release date there already fixed it for me 😀 Okami HD is also a surprise, so I'm happy for that too.
Overall feeling good about Switch, this year I'm looking forward to adding around 5 new games.
Hollow Knight, Octopath Traveler, Shining Resonance Refrain, Okami, TWEWY… yeah, this year will be good year compared to my library of last year only 2 games (2 awesome games, but still 2 games) 😀
Really loving my Switch so much, wish I can play all my Steam games there too 🙁
It was definitely a port-heavy Direct, but very solid nevertheless.
Sorrel Tilley
I am totally stoked about Treasure Tracker coming to Switch. It's the one Wii U port I was really hoping for, it looks adorable, and I love the hakoniwa-style world/gameplay. Undertale is very good (if vague) news, but I'm a little conflicted since I already bought it for PS4… Didn't finish it though, so here's a perfect excuse lol. I was gonna abandon my plans to get Mario Tennis: Aces when they spent 10 years explaining all the confusing moves (which put me off the GBC game, especially with only two buttons). But then they announced the 'simple rules' option. Perfect! Back on board. May finally give Okami another chance, although I doubt I'll find time for it – most people I know got tired of it after FORTY HOURS. Overall, great Direct for me!
Manuel Ruiz Segura
For me it was actually a very nice Direct. I don't mind the ports in the least. As a matter of fact, I really thinks ports are really important to build up a library of great games that few people got to play. Ports make all the sense in the world from a business point of view and also allow people who didn't have a chance to play those games to do it now. Win-win for everyone. Those who already own those game don't need to buy them again, so I don't get the complaints.
The only thing that disappointed me was the lack of Luigi's Mansion on the Switch.

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.2; Linux; X11; en_US, en_US.UTF-8, en) (KHTML, like Gecko)
Description of problem:
I have had this problem for a long time now. All packages updated
daily to the development tree, machine DELL precision 350 with
hyperthreading and running smp kernel. I have "pnpbios=off acpi=off"
in grub.conf. The keyboard is the standard DELL keyboard (PS/2).
My mouse is USB mouse. Mouse works fine.
The problem seems to be for the serio. For the non-working kernel
I get the message:
i8042.c: Can't read CTR while initializing i8042
For the working kernel (which is taking the source rpm and turning
off everything that I do not use, including acpi etc.) I get:
kernel: serio: i8042 AUX port at 0x60,0x64 irq 12
kernel: serio: i8042 KBD port at 0x60,0x6rq 1
kernel: input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard on isa0060/serio0
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install the latest devel kernel
2. reboot machine
3. try keyboard
Additional info:
If you compile the USB support (ehci-hcd, ohci-hcd, and uhci-hcd only) then
everything works perfectly and the keyboard is recognized and functional.
I have heard this from other people as well.
Any chance of making this standard for Fedora?
Arjanv kernel 2.6.7-1.486 has the usb support compiled in and solves this
Unfortunatelty this breaks a collection of other x86-32 machines that
die on boot
(I've sent Arjan a test patch to fix the problem without compiling in
USB incidentally)
*** Bug 127829 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I just tried kernel-smp-2.6.7-1.492 and unfortunately the same problem
I have tried the 1.499 arjanv smp kernel. The keyboard is still
locking up at boot with the same message about the CTR.
What exact messages do you see in this case, and can you also attach
an lspci -vxx (done with a working kernel or with usb legacy disabled
in the bios)
Created attachment 102286 [details]
output of lspci -vxx
I am getting the same message:
kernel: i8042.c: Can't read CTR while initializing i8042.
lspci -vxx is done on 1.492 with usb compiled in kernel.
Does it also report "disabling USB legacy and retrying" before this ?
No...no such message...Few lines before the CTR errror are:
kernel: usbcore: registered new driver hiddev
kernel: usbcore: registered new driver usbhid
kernel: drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c: v2.0:USB HID core driver
kernel: mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice
kernel: i8042.c: Can't read CTR while initializing i8042.
Is this still a problem in the current rawhide kernel ?
No, for me its fixed in the current rawhide, and has been for some time.
Yes and No! The keyboard works fine after the reboot BUT is inactive during the
grub kernel selection stage.
at grub time, we're reliant upon the BIOS entirely for keyboard input, there's
nothing we can fix there.
You'll need 'usb legacy emulation' enabled in the bios for usb keyboard to work
at that stage.
I've compiled the 18.104.22.168 yesterday and have the same problem. Can't use the
PS/2 keyboard. The error messages are the same.
How did you fix this?
Ok, I've disabled USB in BIOS and in the kernel. Now the keyboard works...

GameCore From E3 Day 2
Complete Gamecore coverage of E3 2006 by William Vitka, Chad Chamberlain, Alejandro K. Brown, Alberto Araya
Thursday, 9:46PM PT
Trying to get into this party is quite the trick. Sony most certainly has the upper hand in creating a shortage of available tickets to the now almost world renowned event. I say that because this event is often trafficked by VP's, marketing directors, CEO's from various European and Asian countries. If ever there was a melting pot of languages its right here at the Sony party in Dodger Stadium. Tickets are about as scarce as the new Playstation 3 game console. You have to inevitably go through Sony to get tickets. Usually after it ends Sony hands out to all attendees, Sony products that are exclusive to this event, which is very impressive. I know I have tons of stuff from the past few years and I remember each event like it was yesterday. Is this a ploy to get you to remember Sony all year long until the next event or what? Who knows but its working!
Thursday, 9:43PM PT
So if you've ever wondered were most of the E3 game enthusiasts go on the second day of the expo, they go to the famed Sony after party held at Dodger Stadium. Tonight in the smog filled night atop Dodger Stadium, while listening to sound of the rock band Incubus, these game industries sit and talk about upcoming gaming trends, competitors, delayed development dates, new gaming technologies, etc... It's funny to see most of the corporate mode disappear in the night air as they sip on their third beverage and most likely become more open about their thoughts than one would expect. I won't go into all the details but let's just say they are more than friendly here.
Thursday, 6:31PM PT
GameCore wraps up day 2 of the Electronic Entertainment Expo with a bang covering several titles. Some of these titles include Falcon 4.0: Allied Force from Lead Pursuit, a really in-depth flight simulator (stay tuned for more info on this), Earthworm Gym for the PSP, DragonBall Z, and a ton of impressive titles from both Sony and Nintendo. But one thing bothers me about this year's expo. In the past few years that I've attended the E3 expo the massive number of people in attendance was staggering. It seems this year the number of game enthusiasts has dwindled some what. The lines outside of Nintendo's booth this morning as reported by GameCore's Alejandro, are still painstaking long to say the least but the crowdedness that is so familiar to E3 seems somewhat absent this year.
Many journalists find it much easier to navigate through the crowds this year than in the past few. One thing is certain though despite the crowds or lack there of, E3 this year is all about innovation. Most of the titles we've looked at so far including some of todays, really engage the user in rather fresh gameplay mechanics. So is this really what the phrase "Next-Gen" means? Sony certain feels that its new platform/control mechanics and technology, not to mention some of their titles, most certainly are. Boasting proudly about its blue-ray technology and the ease of use for their controls, not to mention free internet play, perhaps Sony is right? Or are they? Or Maybe Nintendo is on the right path with their Wii connect 24 concept where even if your Wii system is powered down, it's still working for you downloading content or perhaps allowing content providers to push things to your system. And then there are the Wii controllers. From first hand experience it really puts you in the game most notably tennis, Metriod and Zelda. So maybe Nintendo has the answers? To be honest I really don't know. Both sides really have strong arguments but I'll let you, the GameCore fans that you are, decide that for yourselves.

I sat in on the Gears of War demo at Microsoft for the 360 and Wow. Don't let the Microsoft name and the big guns trick you into thinking that this is a simple Halo knockoff. As our demonstrator stated, Gears of War is more of a "stop and pop" game than "run and gun." Moving from cover to cover is key in keeping you alive as you fight monsters that emerged from the earth and have basically started to exterminate the human race on this remote planet.
The feeling of movement and of stopping, like when your character slams into walls and barriers for cover, is solid. While we only saw the first level, your character has the ability to command a squad of four.
And two gamers will not only be able to play co-op, but can actually take different paths through the level to help achieve their goals. It looks great.

I'm not too big on simulation games, least of which flight-sims, but a development team called Lead Pursuit might change that. Tucked quietly away from the sheer madness of E3 is a hall, while not as huge or nearly as decorative as some of the other halls in the LA convention Center, we find the folks from Lead Pursuit. Displaying Falcon 4.0: Allied Force, they were dog-fighting with some computer drones. They have what resembles remarkably the cockpit of an F-16 fighter jet complete with game controls that resemble, foot petals, throttle and flight stick. The controls feel spot on although I'm not an experience fighter pilot, if I played enough of this simulator I feel I would be able to. Although there's no way I can afford to purchase a cockpit much like the one I was able to fit into. Stay tuned for some more info on this title from our experts, who have followed this game and title for quite some time now. More details to come about this title.

You know the mobile market is really something. I've been talking to several companies that push games to your cell phones so you can further immerse yourself in mind numbing game play. Some of these companies include Gameloft, and i-play. Apparently, mobile games are really taking off and the growing demand for them doesn't seem to be wavering. The technology involved in the production of these types of games is also growing. It's been said that mobile gaming technology currently available is about six years behind current console hardware technology, which puts it about first generation Playstation One technology on your mobile phone. How sick is that? One such title is the Da Vinci Code based on the movie being released staring Tom Hanks. It allows you to step into the shoes of Hank's character and walk through the game making similar discoveries as he does throughout the movie. Talk about a huge spoiler alert. The D Vinci Code is fairly advanced and is built on some really advance technology that isn't currently supported by most phones, and of that, not many are available here. But then again we all know that we're somewhat behind the times when it comes to mobile technology and mobile phones. The one that was used to demo the game is not currently available in the states.
Thursday, 9:45AM PT
I specifically woke up with my cohort to make it to the convention at 9 AM SHARP when the doors at E3 opened. We even got the coveted parking across the street from the Convention Center, we were that early. We rush straight to the Nintendo booth, and to our surprise and horror. The line wrapped around 2 of the 5 giant walls. The end of the line was a 3 hour wait.
The time you ask? 9:05 am. The lines were so long that Nintendo installed video walls (about 5 feet tall) with live people watching through camera feeds just to talk with the people on line. There was a video wall every 10 or 15 feet. Apparently they expected the wait and I have to give Nintendo credit for setting that up for the waiting masses. They still get negative marks for only having one closed area to showcase their new console. The PlayStation3 is on the showroom floor for everyone to play, but unfortunately no hands on Nintendo Wii action for today.

DAVID KEENAN'S live shows have been described as visceral, spiritual, and communal events, where Keenan moves between a 'one man and his guitar' monologue to fronting a band of serious intent.
The Irish singer-songwriter plays Monroe's on Sunday July 22 at 8pm. Writing in Hotpress, Pat Carty described him as, "not just another young lad with an acoustic guitar, Keenan is the sound of Tim Buckley and Brendan Behan arguing over a few jars, while Kavanagh deals Dylan a suspicious hand of cards, and Anthony Cronin and Jack Kerouac furiously try to scribble it all down."

Alcoa Okayed For Suriname Gold Project and 2 Other Dow Movers to Watch
Alcoa (NYSE:AA): Current price $8.33
The National Assembly of Suriname has okayed a mineral agreement with Alcoa Worldwide Alumina and Newmont Mining Corp through which to develop that country's Merian Gold Project. The arrangement covers 25 years and the Suriname government will receive a 6-percent royalty, to be paid in gold, according to lawmakers after agreeing the bill late Friday. Merian is located around 40 miles south of the town of Moengo and 19 miles north of the Nassau Mountains. The deal was reached one day after the government and Canada's Iamgold Corp., reached an agreement to expand Suriname's Rosebel gold mine, and extend a partnership to develop it until 2042.
AT&T (NYSE:T): Current price $35.99
AT&T is raising from 20 to 24 months the time requirement required for customers on contract-based plans to earn a fully-subsidized upgrade to a new phone. The change was announced on Sunday, and follows an identical one taken by Verizon Wireless in April. AT&T's new policy is applicable to any customer whose contract will expire in March 2014 or later. Boosting the time between phone upgrades saves the carriers money, as they subsidize each new phone by hundreds of dollars to make it available to customers for $199 or less. Executives had said they planned to curb AT&T's spending on phone upgrades in 2013.
General Electric Company (NYSE:GE): Current price $23.86
On Monday, GE Capital's Telecom, Media and Technology financing unit announced that it served as administrative agent on a new $405-million credit facility for Entravision Communications, which is a diversified Spanish-language media company headquartered in Santa Monica, California. GE Capital Markets served as the one bookrunner on the transaction. Entravision employs its television, radio and digital assets to reach Latino consumers throughout the United States and the border markets of Mexico.

University of Miami
Miami powers way to Game 1 win over Boston College in super regional
First-rounder faced first-rounder in the third inning at Mark Light Field on Friday.
Zack Collins, the Chicago White Sox's 10th overall pick from the University of Miami, took a first-pitch fastball from Justin Dunn, the New York Mets' 19th overall pick from Boston College, and blasted it so far over the right-field fence that it hit the Ponce de Leon parking garage in the distance.
The home crowd erupted as Carl Chester (hard single), Randy Batista (bunt-single that died on the third-base line) and Collins rounded the bases for three runs, enough to ignite the third-ranked Hurricanes to a 12-7 victory in the first game of the super regional.
"I didn't really look at it as two first-rounders going at each other,'' said Dunn, whose home-run-yielding fastball was clocked at 97 miles an hour Friday. " I went at it as two guys trying to go to Omaha.''
"It was crazy,'' Collins said. "I knew it right off the bat. Just to put my team ahead right there was an awesome feeling.''
No. 3 national seed Miami (49-11), which meets Boston College again at noon Saturday, is one victory from earning its 25th trip to the College World Series – its 13th since Jim Morris began coaching in Coral Gables in 1994.
Left-handed sophomore ace Michael Mediavilla pitched a masterful game in allowing three runs – two earned – on four hits and three walks in a career-high 7 2/3 innings in becoming Miami's first 11-game winner since Chris Hernandez in 2008. Mediavilla (11-1, 3.11 ERA ) threw a career-high 123 pitches, 78 for strikes. He struck out seven.
"Pitching's the name of the game and Mediavilla threw a great game,'' Morris said. "Furthest he's gone for us and most pitches he's thrown for us. Just a big win for us."
BC catcher Nick Sciortino praised Mediavilla for confusing hitters with an impressive pitching repertoire. "He was definitely mixing up his pitches,'' Sciortino said. "He has a great changeup. He was mixing his curveball when we were thinking fastball. He threw great. He kept our hitters off balance."
Bartow relieved Mediavilla for the final out of the eighth, before Ryan Guerra came in to pitch the ninth.
Dunn lasted 5 1/3 innings in taking the loss. Dunn (4-2, 2.06) allowed five earned runs on six hits and two walks, as the Eagles fell to 34-21 in a game delayed two hours by rain and lightning.
Two batters after Collins' blast, Johnny Ruiz hit a solo homer to right-center to make it 4-1 Miami.
Before Friday, Dunn had allowed just one homer all year. On this day he gave up two in three-at-bats.
"I was trying to execute a fast ball away to Zack and fastball in to Ruiz,'' Dunn said. "They're both good hitters. This whole team, a bunch of strong at-bats, one through nine. I made two mistakes and they hit them. It's just baseball."
But that wasn't it for Ruiz. He wanted more. In the eighth, Ruiz added his first career grand slam to make it 12-3. After hitting two career homers entering the game, Ruiz hit two in five at-bats Friday.
Boston College opened the scoring on an unearned run in the first inning. After Michael Strem singled, a failed pickoff attempt by 6-5, 225-pound Mediavilla sailed past first baseman Chris Barr, advancing Strem to third. Nick Sciortino's ground-out dribbler to third scored Strem, before left field Jacob Heyward made a diving, sliding catch to his left to end the inning.
The Eagles scored two runs in the fourth to cut Miami's lead to 4-3, but the Canes wouldn't quit, adding two in the sixth, one in the seventh and five in the eighth.
Boston College attempted to rally in the ninth with a one-out, three-run homer by Scott Braren against Guerra to make it 12-6. Devin Meyer came in to get the second out but also surrendered a bases-loaded-walk.
Enter UM career saves leader Bryan Garcia, who extended his record to 42 saves by striking out Donovan Casey with the bases loaded.
Should UM win its super regional, it would play the winner of the Mississippi State (44-17-1) vs. Arizona (43-21) super regional to begin the double-elimination College World Series. Mississippi State is the No. 6 national seed, but Arizona won 1-0.
"It's awesome, but we can't look too far ahead,'' said Willie Abreu, who was drafted Friday in the sixth round by the Colorado Rockies and had three hits, including a double. "We've just got to worry about [Game 2] and worry about doing what we usually do in the field and staying within ourselves. If we take it at-bat by at-bat and inning by inning, we're going to be OK."

Tooth bleaching is a way to lighten teeth without bonding material to the teeth, or removing any sound tooth structure. In this respect, it's one of the most conservative cosmetic procedures. It's an "old" procedure, back in vogue.
First, the tooth is isolated with a rubber dam. This protects your gums and tongue, too. Then the tooth is cleaned thoroughly. Your tooth may or may not be pre-conditioned to help the teeth whitening products penetrate.
The tooth is covered with gauze, and the teeth bleaching solution is carefully applied. A heat source "cures" the bleach and hastens the process. These steps are repeated several times, depending on the appropriate level of whiteness you want to achieve. The color of adjacent teeth will be considered too, so you'll look natural (there is such a thing as too white).
A professional tooth whitening session takes 30 to 45 minutes - and there you are. After three to five sessions, the tooth really shows the difference.
The success of the procedure depends in part on what caused the tooth staining in the first place. Surface coffee, tea, and tobacco stains that resist cleaning can be bleached away (the stains will reappear over time if you continue to indulge, of course). Antibiotic staining - from tetracycline, for example - is a bit harder to treat with simple teeth bleaching. Alternatively, a jacket or porcelain veneers may be called for. The idea is to be very selective about which tooth is a good candidate for the procedure.
Do you wish that you had whiter teeth? Have you tried and been disappointed by the over-the-counter teeth whitening products, whitening toothpaste and those mail order kits? Well, here is a safe, easy, and successful way that you can REALLY whiten your teeth.
Using a professional teeth whitening system, you can get dramatic results in a matter of days by teeth bleaching at home. Some products use a pH neutral formula that has been approved by the FDA. Interested? Questions?
It is a whitening process that lightens the discolorations of enamel and dentin. The teeth whitening system uses a whitening gel that is retained in a custom-fitted appliance.
Clinical research has shown that using a properly formulated professional tooth whitening gel under the supervision of a dentist is safe for teeth and gums.
Results are usually seen in the first several days. Maximum results generally occur when the process is continued for 10 to 14 days (or nights).
The teeth will ALWAYS be lighter than they were. However, some patients may choose to touch-up periodically, one or two nights every six months. If you think that you might benefit from this tooth bleaching process, be sure to let your dentist know. He or she would be happy to assist in providing you with whiter teeth and a brighter smile!

Cafe Racer SSpirit
Cafe Racer SSpirit, is based in beautiful San Sebastián (Gipuzkoa) and is home to a team of four dedicated and conscientious custom motorcycle creators.
This workshop designs and builds a diverse spectrum of custom bikes and with this expertise, they've developed a penchant creating café racers, bratstyle, bobbers and scramblers, mainly from the 70s/80s era. The team is particularly keen to get its hands on Japanese bikes and BMW Boxer engines from this era – they're known for splicing multiple motorcycle marques within their builds.
The workshop's style, (while making new) favours leaving the original patina of your finished custom in place. And in so doing, allows your bike to retain its unique character and maintain an alluring aesthetic of handcrafted quality.
CRSS believe that much in the same way clothing allows you to express personality, the "motorcycle you ride, can define you".
Regardless of the style of bike you desire, with each CRSS build the team will work with you, to meticulously reconstruct and remake the bike, to reflect your personality.

It's 2012 and lot's of new drivers are making that same old claim..."This driver is going to easily add another 20 yards to your swing!". Does the Taylormade RocketBallz driver live up to this claim? Or, can it be added to the list of drivers that over promise and under deliver?
First, let's take a look at the specifications of the driver itself. Taylormade is incorporating "Flight Control Technology" for simple face angle and loft tuning. The shaft and grip is incredibly light, which helps increase swing speed. The head of the club features an aerodynamic design intended to reduce wind resistance and create a faster head speed. Lastly, Taylormade is attempting to reduce the effect of off-center hits with an inverted cone clubface.
With the technical specifications out of the way, let's talk about what's important – its performance. The Taylormade RocketBallz driver has a very light and pleasing feel at impact. It's noticeably lighter than most drivers, which, to most, is a good thing. You'll also find that the club feels incredibly forgiving thanks to its wide body, and the negative effect of off-center shots is much less drastic. The playability is top notch with a medium ball flight and fantastic distance.
The Taylormade RocketBallz driver is aimed at those looking for increased distance and accuracy. And let's be honest, that's most golfers. Unlike other drivers that make this claim, the RocketBallz succeeds thanks to its lightweight feel and wide body which increases forgiveness on off-center hits.

Rocketballz Owner Reviews:
Just purchased the Tour RBZ today. My new white Cobra ZXL was blown away on the launch monitor by the RBZ! 15 yards longer, with less spin n better launch angle. I'm a 60 yr old scratch player that needs to keep my distance up so carrying the ball 268 with the RBZ is just what my game needed. Traded the Cobra, bought the Tour RBZ, and added new R11 irons with Project x shafts to my bag also...
Upon hearing the name, I was immediately against this club. Figured it was just "new" Burner. After hitting it in the simulator along side of the R11, R11s, and Burner 2.0, it is by far the best in my opinion. Despite the green accents (not too bad or distracting really), the club is lighter than any of the other TM drivers and with the draw bias, it goes a mile. I found it to be very forgiving as well. Even more so than the Ping G15. I was hitting the RBZ Driver and not the Tour version so can't comment on that.
I tried the Rocketballz driver at Golf Galaxy in the Senior flex. I have never hit a driver this far in the simulator. I bought it right then and there! Cannot wait till it gets here and I can play it on the course. It's going to be a GREAT day and a SUPER summer this year!!!

Taylor Schilling Rocks A Golden Globe Glow/
With another Golden Globe nomination this year, OITNB's Taylor Schilling stepped out with a sun-kissed body glow, thanks to her Makeup Artist Tina Turnbow. Schilling's fair complexion got a bronzy boost. Turnbow used organic self-tanning products from Vita Liberata. "I really enjoy using skin products that are natural. Organic and chemical free is so important, says Turnbow. "For Vita Liberata to be conscious of that is great. Taking care of your body is an essential part of beauty."
In these two simple steps, you can get Taylor Schilling's great tan and look like you've just spent your day napping in the warm sun.
· Start with a self-tanning base such as pHenomenal Mousse, and apply all over the body. "It's odorless and rapid-drying. I applied moments before she put on her gown – it hydrates the skin while making it look brighter," says Turnbow.
· Finish off your dewy glow by applying Capture the Light, a skin illuminator, enhancing your tan and making your skin photo ready. Turnbow explains, "It added a bit of warmth to Taylor's skin and gave the right amount of color to highlight the body."

A while ago we did a blog post about favorite audio tools our Boom Box editors enjoy and are using lately. New plug-ins, techniques and libraries are coming about all the time so I thought I'd check in with some of them now to see if there are any new tools they could share with us.
Brad Meyer
I often come across sound design situations where I have to pitch multiple sound effects (like 15 ascending bubble pops for example). It can be really time consuming using a pitch shift plugin and pitching each sound one by one, so I like to use this need trick in Kontakt instead:
First, put the Kontakt plugin on a new instrument track, and route that instrument track to a record track so you can record your final results.
Once you have the Kontakt plugin open, make a new instrument, and pull up your Mapping Editor. Your Mapping Editor should look like a keyboard interface. Then import the specific sound effect you'd like to pitch. Putting the sound file on the C key of your keyboard interface is easiest. The sound file will show up as a vertical yellow bar.
This vertical yellow bar (your sound file) has a thicker yellow outline. You can grab that line on either side and drag it out across the keyboard. I drag up one octave and down one octave, leaving me 2 octaves to play around with. The results should look like this:
Now that your sound file spans two octaves, you can "play" that sound on all the keys that it spans. Kontakt automatically pitches your sound when you stretch it across the keyboard interface, so now you can "play" the sound at different pitches across two whole octaves!

I've used the Mini-Sythesizer ipad App from Electro-Harmonix a number of times. I've mostly used it to create interface beeps and telemetry for various Sci-Fi machines. The synth is really basic and easy to use, and pretty cheap at $2.99 for the iphone app and $4.99 for the ipad. I think it was mostly designed with music in mind, and calls back to a lot of synths from 80's rock, but I've been able to create some pretty cool designs by using this tool in conjunction with some of my favorite plug-ins. It's certainly not the most diverse synth, but if you're looking for something inexpensive to get your feet wet, it's certainly not a bad choice.

In recent weeks I've been geeking out hard for convolution reverb, specifically Avid Space. Convolution reverb is a fascinating and valuable tool for design and mixing. Convolution reverbs use impulse responses, recordings of tone sweeps or impulses, that allow the software to have a real sample of the reverb of a space, which they can then play your sound through to create a realistic reverberation. On a basic level this can allow you to add realistic spatialization for a variety of real life locations, bedrooms, churches, city streets and etc. On the wilder end you can imitate the sound characteristics of someone talking inside of a metal helmet or through an acrylic wall. My favorite by far is the helmet example, using an impulse response captured inside of a bucket to imitate the sound of armor. Definitely check out Avid Space and other convolution reverb tools if you want to step up your reverb game, and don't forget to check out Brad's lunch and learn on the topic.

The law enforcers and the breakers of the law continue to duke it out in the promotional trailers for the upcoming Lawbreakers. The latest trailer covers the Assassin and their abilities within the first-person competitive shooter.
The trailer starts off by showing some swinging and grappling action, with players moving fast and furiously through the levels using a grappling hook. We then see how you can latch the grappling hook on to opponents and then slashing them to bits while in mid-air.
You can check out the trailer below, which is snappy and short, clocking in at only 35 seconds.
After spending the first 15 seconds introducing the Assassin and showcasing the grapple and sword attacks, we then see a brief shot of the Assassin using a long range rifle to snipe someone out of mid-air during a mid-swing. It's an impressive clip despite being pretty short.
From what I've seen of Lawbreakers it hasn't really been enough to convince me that it's the sort of game that will really standout from the current crop of first-person shooters on the market.
It's a hard market to break through at the moment because of a lack of innovation and a lot of the copycat clones flooding genre. That's not to mention that the overabundance of future themed FPS games with samey concepts and indistinguishable gameplay has most definitely tempered the expectations and thrills from most communities.
Nevertheless, if there's something really unique about Lawbreakers then hopefully they can find a way to really make it shine through. At the moment Overwatch is the game to beat, despite the fact that there isn't a whole lot of gameplay there to beat. Good characterization, a compelling world and solid gameplay can definitely make up for what Overwatch promises.
You can learn more about Lawbreakers, the character classes, the levels and the gravity mechanics by visiting the official website.

About ALL THE WAY by Robert Schenkkan
It's not personal – it's just politics.
November, 1963. An assassin's bullet catapults Lyndon Baines Johnson into the presidency. A Shakespearean figure of towering ambition and appetite, this charismatic, conflicted Texan hurls himself into the passage of the Civil Rights Act – a tinderbox issue emblematic of a divided America – even as he campaigns for re-election in his own right and the recognition he so desperately wants. Together with Martin Luther King Jr. and an incredible cast of historical figures, they changed America and the world.
Performances will run at Loyola University; rehearsals start April 2; performances May 16 – June 10. Community Performers will receive travel stipends, and child care & refreshments will be provided at rehearsals.
Visit bit.ly/allthewaySRT or contact email@example.com for more information about free workshops and open-call community auditions. Questions? Call us at 504-523-9857.

Natural White-ivory Baby Sheepskin
Wonderfully soft with a shorn, thick, very dense wool pile, this naturally pure white-ivory sheepskin is perfect for baby to wriggle about on either on the floor or in the pram, and is also ideal in a cot to help baby sleep. Our lambskins are born, bred and tanned in England to the highest standard. They are longer and wider than average baby sheepskins that can be bought everywhere on the internet. We are the only company that supplies these sheepskins as we know that our very particular requirements are so stringent that our tannery can only supply us, as they cannot source enough of the raw product that results in these naturally white sheepskins.
