'Continuing Episcopalians' in Breakaway Diocese Elect Temporary Leader
A group of congregations and clergy loyal to The Episcopal Church have elected a provisional bishop to lead them as the leadership of their diocese has left the denomination.
The Episcopal Church in South Carolina, the name given to the continuing Episcopalians during their legal battle with the South Carolina Diocese, elected the Reverend Charles vonRosenberg. VonRosenberg was given the position at a special meeting of the continuing Episcopalians last Saturday at Grace Episcopal Church in Charleston.
Holly Behre, communications chairman for TEC in South Carolina, told The Christian Post about the results of the vote and powers that vonRosenberg will have as bishop provisional. "Bishop vonRosenberg was elected by acclamation by clergy and lay delegate representing 9 parishes, 10 missions and 8 continuing parishes," said Behre.
"Bishops provisional have all the duties and responsibilities of other bishops. The only difference is that they serve for a limited period of time, to be determined by the Convention, until we are ready to begin the process of calling a new Bishop."
The Most Reverend Katharine Jefferts Schori, presiding bishop of The Episcopal Church, was in attendance for the proceedings. "The Presiding Bishop was celebrant and preacher at the Choral Eucharist that opened the meeting, and brought words of support and encouragement," said Behre.
"Later she convened the meeting of the Convention and chaired it until the election of the new Bishop. He was immediately installed in an investiture liturgy and then chaired the remainder of the Convention."
Last November, the leadership of the Episcopal Diocese of South Carolina decided to leave The Episcopal Church over a mixture of theological differences and tensions over the denominational leadership's treatment of Bishop Mark Lawrence, the diocese head.
By January, issues between The Episcopal Church and the South Carolina Diocese leadership over who owned the rights to the name, seal, and property of the church territory led to the breakaway leadership filing suit.
Last week, Circuit Court Judge Diane S. Goodstein issued an order stopping the continuing Episcopalians from using the diocesan name and seal. Jeff Walton, Anglican Program director at the Institute on Religion & Democracy, told CP that the continuing Episcopalians are free to find new leadership.
"Those who have chosen to remain connected to the national denomination are entitled to organize a new diocese and elect their own leaders – this is not in dispute," said Walton. "What continuing Episcopalians cannot do is attempt to assume the identity of the departing Diocese of South Carolina. The Diocese is a legally incorporated entity with its own elected officers, registered names and seal."
Regarding whether or not the temporary order would become a longer term injunction come a hearing on Friday, Walton told CP that he felt the breakaway Diocese's case was strong. "In some churches, this would be resolved as a disappointing but ultimately civil divorce. Unfortunately, the national Episcopal Church has adopted a 'scorched earth' policy with litigation against any parish or diocese that chooses to depart the denomination," said Walton.
In his remarks upon being elected to provisional bishop, vonRosenberg spoke a tone of reconciliation to those gathered at Charleston about those who broke away from The Episcopal Church. "We need to recognize that other sincere Christians – former Episcopalians – have chosen a different path from ours. Theirs is a path committed to faith in Jesus, as they understand that faith," said vonRosenberg.
"While we have failed thus far in our efforts toward Christian unity, our Lord will ultimately succeed, on his day. When that day comes, I want to greet fellow Christians as friends, not as enemies."

Shia LaBeouf Inadvertently Goes Viral on TikTok
Shia LaBeouf is now TikTok famous.
On Saturday (June 12), TikTok user @Kaylimadisyn uploaded a video of the actor singing "Happy Birthday" to a fellow restaurant customer while eating breakfast in a California restaurant. In just 24 hours, the video already had over 3.6 million views.
"When you go out with your mom for breakfast and didn't even notice Shia LaBeouf singing your mom 'happy birthday' in the background....." @Kaylimadisyn captioned the video.
In the video, LaBeouf is seen looking over at @Kaylimadisyn's mother from his table while singing "Happy Birthday" to her. When the song ends, LaBeouf fist pumps the air and gives her a round of applause.
This isn't the first time that LaBeouf has gone viral on the short-form video platform, despite not having his own account.
In August 2020, TikTok user @gtdubs91, whose name is Tyler Wilson, shared a video of LaBeouf getting a COVID-19 nasal swab test. Wilson is based in Nashville while LaBeouf lives in Pasadena, California. It is unknown how exactly he got the video of the Transformers actor, as the clip seems like it was videotaped by LaBeouf, himself.
In May, LaBeouf made headlines after he was ordered by a judge to complete a judicial diversion program following his court appearance for misdemeanor charges of battery and petty theft. Upon the completion of his program, the charges will be dropped.
The program includes weekly therapy sessions, random alcohol screenings and successful completion of a 12-step program. He must also wear a SoberLink device. Additionally, the actor can not possess any weapons and has been ordered to avoid any sort of violence. He also has to remain over 100 yards away from the victim, who he allegedly used physical violence against before stealing his hat.

I'm in a bit of an interesting situation where I have a Python script that can theoretically be run by a variety of users with a variety of environments (and PATHs) and on a variety of Linux systems. I want this script to be executable on as many of these as possible without artificial restrictions. Here are some known setups:
- Python 2.6 is the system Python version, so python, python2, and python2.6 all exist in /usr/bin (and are equivalent).
- Python 2.6 is the system Python version, as above, but Python 2.7 is installed alongside it as python2.7.
- Python 2.4 is the system Python version, which my script does not support. In /usr/bin we have python, python2, and python2.4 which are equivalent, and python2.5, which the script supports.
I want to run the same executable python script on all three of these. It would be nice if it tried to use /usr/bin/python2.7 first, if it exists, then fall back to /usr/bin/python2.6, then fall back to /usr/bin/python2.5, then simply error out if none of those were present. I'm not too hung up on it using the most recent 2.x possible, though, as long as it's able to find one of the correct interpreters if present.
My first inclination was to change the shebang line from:
since this works fine in bash. But running the script gives:
/usr/bin/python2.[5-7]: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
Okay, so I try the following, which also works in bash:
#!/bin/bash -c /usr/bin/python2.[5-7]
But again, this fails with:
/bin/bash: - : invalid option
Okay, obviously I could just write a separate shell script that finds the correct interpreter and runs the python script using whatever interpreter it found. I'd just find it a hassle to distribute two files where one should suffice as long as it's run with the most up-to-date python 2 interpreter installed. Asking people to invoke the interpreter explicitly (e.g., $ python2.5 script.py
) is not an option. Relying on the user's PATH being set up a certain way is also not an option.
Version checking within the Python script is not going to work since I'm using the "with" statement which exists as of Python 2.6 (and can be used in 2.5 with from __future__ import with_statement
). This causes the script to fail immediately with a user-unfriendly SyntaxError, and prevents me from ever having an opportunity to check the version first and emit an appropriate error.
Example: (try this with a Python interpreter less than 2.6)
#!/usr/bin/env python
import sys
print "You'll never see this!"
with open('/dev/null', 'w') as out:

Summer calls for lighter fair. Few of us want to spend hours in the kitchen with the stove radiating heat, if we can avoid it. We'll cook or bake a little sure, and flock to the grill like seagulls to a French fry, but ultimately, more often than not, we're in the mood for meals that are a cinch to whip up and that take advantage of some of the season's best produce – which, if we're especially lucky, hails from our own garden.
With amazing fruit and veg out in full force, summer (much like late spring and early fall) is a particularly delicious time if you're a vegetarian. I'm not one myself, but I do eat meatless meals sometimes and have both vegetarians and vegans in my family. I know that many of you are such yourself and I've strived since day to provide vegetarian and/or vegan alternatives for many of the vintage recipes that I've shared over the years (some of which where meat-free or even vegan as they stood right out of the gate).
I have not, however, devoted a post just to vintage vegetarian recipes, so with a little over a month left (on the calendar at least) of summer and plenty of that scrumptious, juicy, daydream-about-it-in-January produce still on the trees and grocery store shelves alike, I wanted to dedicate today's vintage recipe post to dishes that are completely meatless.
In most cases, if canned or frozen veggies are called for, as they so often wear in the mid-twentieth century, but all means please sub in fresh ones, if you'd prefer. Likewise, a good many of the following ten vintage vegetarian recipes can easily be made vegan by omitting or substituting ingredients (such a soy/rice cheese for the daily version) for ones that are completely devoid of any animal products.
There are countless reasons - personal, medical, cultural, and religious all very much included - why people opt, or need, to be a vegetarian/vegan, and no matter yours, of if you're a carnivore who just enjoys meat-less meals sometimes, I hope that you'll all enjoy and these fun, filling vintage vegetarian recipes this summer!
1. A slew of healthy, fantastic veggies team up in this filling 1940s green salad recipe, for which you could easily swap in peas, corn, canned beans (pinto, kidney, black, etc), olives, or chickpeas in favour of the lima beans, if so desired.
2. If you can get your paws on fresh apricots, which are still in season in many areas that grown them (my own corner of Canada very much included), by all means use fresh fruit instead here in this charmingly pretty - and very tasty sounding - 1950s recipe for Apricot Baskets.
3. Scrumptious Italian flavours mingle marvelously in this classic red tomato sauce, pasta, and cheese dish from 1954 that tastes as delicious cold as it does warm (I've made a GF version before and it's always a big hit with everyone at the table).
4. This 1960s recipe for Lemon Butter Sauce would be perfect on grilled vegetables, drizzled over baked potatoes, tossed with pasta or quinoa, used as a dunking sauce, you name it!
5. What would any well balanced roundup of mid-century recipes be without at least one gelatin salad inclusion? This example - which has a distinctly Christmassy colour palette - is full on 1950s and includes such beloved ingredients of the era as tomato juice, mayonnaise, and pimento - you've always got to have the pimento! :D It is, like many Jell-O salads, vegetarian, and honestly, if you like veggies in your gelatine, I think it sounds rather nice. I could see being a delicious side dish to a plate of grilled corn or veggie tacos. *Edit* If you don't eat animal based gelatine, swap in a vegan substitute like agar instead here.
6. Serve this dead simple vegetable soup cold, pureed or whizzed in the blender first, and you've got an easy-peasy, no fuss take on that Mediterranean warm weather gem, gazpacho.
7. This filling recipe from 1945 for Stuffed Eggplant is especially well suited to cool summer evenings, Sunday dinners, and when the weather starts feeling decidedly like fall again.
8. Four ingredients is all it takes to make this quick, super easy, splendidly tropical inspired vintage fruit salad/dessert (that would be great for breakfast or brunch, too!). If Miracle Whip isn't your favourite thing, why not use sour cream, whipped cream, mayo, Cool Whip, yogurt, or even ice cream instead?
9. The inclusion of bell peppers in this simple mid-century potato salad is really, really appealing and would give it a great hit of crunch.
10. Summer would not be summer without at least one rich, flakey, wonderfully classic cherry pie. This recipe from 1950 sees the unexpected and very appealing addition of pineapple. Yum-yum!!
If we take desserts and (some) salads out of the equation, many vintage cookbooks and recipe ads were, how shall we say, spartan with the number of vegetarian recipes they included (save for some meat/dairy/egg-free recipes that were commonplace out of sheer necessarily brought on by rationing during the war years).
That said, there are a small number of actual (dedicated) vintage vegetarian cookbooks out there, as the practise of eating meat and/or animal product free has been an important part of many cultures and religions for hundreds, and sometimes even thousands, of years now.
Then as now though, there were plenty of amazing dishes that did not need meat in the slightest and it's worth pouring over such sources when you come across them for recipes that fit the meat-less bill or which can easily be made vegetarian/vegan.
{It's practically a crime not to avail of all the fantastic array of in season produce that is available during the summertime. Load up and go to town on these and other fabulous vegetarian and vegan recipes while such offerings are still at the peak of freshness.}
Plus, you can always whip up your own 21st century vegetarian/vegan take on classic dishes, too. From potato salad (use dairy/egg-free mayo, such as those from Earth Balance and Follow Your Heart) to caesar salad, ice cream to trifle and scores of other summertime menu staples that more than hold their own when they're free of any meat and/or other animal products.
I hope that you enjoyed these recipes. If you have any other favourite vintage vegetarian or vegan dishes that you'd like to share here, please don't be shy. I know that plenty of my readers scan through all of the comments on my posts and your impute would be very welcome by many a savvy veggie adoring vintage epicurean.

App of the Week: Pocket Trains
Developer: NimbleBit
Compatible with: iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, Android Devices
Requires: iOS 6.0, Android 2.2
Price: Free
Available: here (For iOS) and here (for Android)
Did you know that video game technology has become so advance that we are able to use it to make the most mundane activities exciting? From punching trees in "Minecraft" to driving trucks across Europe in "Euro Truck Simulator," it seems like there is nothing a capable developer can't turn into compelling subject matter.
While managing a series of trains, railways, and cargo has been on that list for a while thanks to a surprisingly strong amount of train simulator games, developer Nimblebit presents maybe the most compelling example of the idea with "Pocket Trains," the next in their line of incredibly addictive series of games that focus on micromanaging a specific set up (for example their airline manager "Pocket Planes").
"Pocket Trains" doesn't deviate from the formula set in the studio's previous games much, but it does manage to almost perfect it. You start off with a couple of trains and a few railways available to you in Europe, which you use to deliver a variety of, often wacky, cargo from city to city. Completing a run awards you points and cash which are used on everything from purchasing new parts to build more trains, upgrading current trains to be more efficient, and buying new railways to connect your available cities and expand your cargo empire all over the world.
There's a variety of additional gameplay elements such as challenges which provide additional rewards upon completion, along with an RPG like level system that also rewards you as you advance, and while thy are very welcome, the real draw is the addictiveness of the core gameplay. It's actually quite difficult to build a functional railway system, mostly due to the fact you that each individual train can only occupy certain lines (unless you buy a line out each time which gets costly) meaning that you have to strategize the use of railways and hub cities to maximize your best trains potential. Despite those complexities, the very basics of the game are so simple that learning the deeper ins and outs never feels like a chore, and rather extends the gameplay naturally.
Put it all together and you've got a game that manages to achieve that rare balance between being brain teasing and easy to pick up and play, that could only come from years of honing this style of game to perfection. You may initially pick this up as a curiosity or because you subscribe to the "what the hell it's free" school of app downloads, but just know that doing so is the equivalent to signing hours of your free time away building a railroad empire that dominates the globe.
Most mobile games have to choose between being something perfect for short sessions and killing time, or going for something deeper that asks for hours and hours of your time to truly appreciate. That "Pocket Trains" manages to seamlessly combine both of those game types into an experience that is near impossible to put down is a feat that can't be overlooked. You may not think "Pocket Trains" sounds like it has much potential, but it will crush your reservations and pull out of the station with your free time, along with the title of app of the week.

In Early May, Toure confirmed that he was 'looking around' at other options, but over the weekend, he told reporters:
"The [contract] situation will be resolved soon. We are talking. I play for Liverpool right now, and I am very happy. If it was to carry on, I'd be more than happy. Liverpool is going to be massive."
What a refreshing comment from Toure. Despite Liverpool's nightmare season, he's seemingly convinced that the future is bright at Anfield, and that kind of enthusiasm is exactly what's needed in the dressing room.
It's also a massive vote of confidence in beleaguered Reds boss Brendan Rodgers, who needs all the support he can get right now, especially from senior members of the squad.
Liverpool legend John Aldridge wants Toure to stay. In a recent column for the Liverpool Echo, Aldo hailed the defender as a 'humble man who loves Liverpool', adding:
"Wherever he [Toure] has been, the fans have loved him. Man City fans were singing his name at Anfield the other week. I've got the utmost respect for him. He's a tremendous ambassador for the club".
It's a no-lose situation - double title-winner Toure is a (mostly) reliable backup, and his experience is vital to have around the dressing room. That said, given the competition for places at Anfield, it seems unlikely that he'll suddenly become a regular starter next season.
After another (often) shambolic season for the club's defenders, Rodgers (if he stays) is likely to sign yet another central defender, which will make it even harder for the Ivorian to get regular game time.
If no other defenders come in, though, I'd rather see Toure start over Lovren AND Emre Can in defence next season.

Subcontracting and Partnership Exchange
UNIDO establishes Subcontracting and Partnership Exchanges (SPXs) with the objective of helping local enterprises to successfully meet the challenges of globalization and to take advantage of the emerging opportunities that evolve from industrial subcontracting, outsourcing and supply chain opportunities. The UNIDO SPX Network thus serves to provide an important platform for the matchmaking of suppliers and buyers across the globe.
In response to the changing dynamics of international business operations, a host of UNIDO SPX programme methodology and tools serve to validate the service proposition to both prospective buyers and suppliers in the various countries and to complement the matchmaking function of the programme. The SPX Programme approach involves active engagement with the procurement and local sourcing departments of large enterprises, identifying and mapping requirements and generating needs analysis emanating from these procurement strategies and plans. Potential local suppliers, in turn, benefit from rigorous profiling and benchmarking assessments with both exercises based on specific UNIDO developed tools. After conducting adequate enterprise profiling, SPX Centres rely on a newly established management information system which consists of a comprehensive database of supplier profiles from SPX member countries, thereby facilitating information management as well as matchmaking and request for quotation potential. SPX Benchmarking assessment is provided to local firms as a service to help them assess their own competitive position and understand their weaknesses and gaps with respect to buyer expectations. The SPX Benchmarking exercise can thus be used to develop specific enterprise upgrading and investment plans. When benefiting large group of domestic enterprises, benchmarking also provides national development agencies and other stakeholders with the possibility of mapping local industrial capacities at the country level.

1959: Chromosome Abnormalities Identified
Professor Jerome Lejeune and his colleagues discovered that Down syndrome, first classified by J. L. H. Down in 1866, is caused by trisomy 21 - that is, having three instead of 2 copies of chromosome 21. The extra copies of the genes on chromosome 21 affect the development of the brain and body.

CLASSIC CAR RESTORATIONSThe term "restoration" in context to the vintage car world has taken on a definition of its own. For some people, a restoration is simply painting a car and replacing items as needed, while for others, restoration means an extensive disassembly and overhl, with each piece getting rebuilt or replaced. As a consumer, it's important to understand the basics of restoration levels for it can impact classic car values substantially. There are hundreds of ways to ' a vintage car or truck including but not limited to the following: i). Frame off restoration. Body of vehicle is completely taken off the frame and restoration includes body, frame, floor pans (top and bottom), etc. these restorations tend to be extensive and costly. ii). Rotisserie restoration. These restorations are when the body (or body and frame on a unibody vehicle) are disassembled and restored utilizing a rotisserie. Body of vehicle is completely taken off the frame and restoration includes body, frame, floor pans (top and bottom), etc. these restorations tend to be extensive and costly and iii). Cosmetic or 'driver quality' restoration. These restoration are typically limited to cosmetic items including paint and body, interior, trim and emblems, etc. Within the three levels or restoration mentioned above, there can be varying quality from an 'the garage / amateur' restoration to a high dollar professional 'concours' restoration. There is a universal 100 point grading system rating classic car conditions ranging from 100 being excellent to 20 being unrestorable.
In addition to the levels of restoration above, it's important to understand the type of restoration as well for it can also impact value substantially. Type of restorations include: i). Factory or stock restoration. This type of restoration is geared towards restoring the car or truck to stock specs from the factory as if it were new. These types of restorations use original or oem (original equipment manufacturer) where possible. Factory original restorations tend to bring the highest dollars from collectors. ii). Custom restoration. These types of restorations are geared towards builder preference over factory stock. These can be refereed to as 'customs' or 'hot rods'. Typically these vehicles will have custom paint work, aftermarket wheels, suspension upgrades, power plant transplants, etc. A specific sector of custom restoration vehicles is 'pro-touring' or 'restomod / restomods' which are custom built with a more modern street performance and creature comforts than the original factory vehicle.

Here is the full transcript of Buddhist roshi Joan Halifax's talk titled "Compassion And The True Meaning of Empathy" at TED 2011 conference.
Listen to the audio version here:
The Many Faces of Compassion
I want to address the issue of compassion. Compassion has many faces. Some of them are fierce; some of them are wrathful; some of them are tender; some of them are wise. A line that the Dalai Lama once said, he said, "Love and compassion are necessities. They are not luxuries. Without them, humanity cannot survive."
And I would suggest, it is not only humanity that won't survive, but it is all species on the planet, as we've heard today. It is the big cats, and it's the plankton. Two weeks ago, I was in Bangalore in India.
Teaching in a Hospice
I was so privileged to be able to teach in a hospice on the outskirts of Bangalore. And early in the morning, I went into the ward. In that hospice, there were 31 men and women who were actively dying.
I walked up to the bedside of an old woman who was breathing very rapidly, fragile, obviously in the latter phase of active dying. I looked into her face. I looked into the face of her son sitting next to her, and his face was just riven with grief and confusion. And I remembered a line from the Mahabharata, the great Indian epic: "What is the most wondrous thing in the world, Yudhisthira?"
The Most Wondrous Thing
And Yudhisthira replied, "The most wondrous thing in the world is that all around us people can be dying and we don't realize it can happen to us." I looked up. Tending those 31 dying people were young women from villages around Bangalore.
I looked into the face of one of these women, and I saw in her face the strength that arises when natural compassion is really present. I watched her hands as she bathed an old man. My gaze went to another young woman as she wiped the face of another dying person.
Compassion in the Himalayas
And it reminded me of something that I had just been present for. Every year or so, I have the privilege of taking clinicians into the Himalayas and the Tibetan Plateau. And we run clinics in these very remote regions where there's no medical care whatsoever.
And on the first day at Simikot in Humla, far west of Nepal, the most impoverished region of Nepal, an old man came in clutching a bundle of rags. And he walked in, and somebody said something to him, we realized he was deaf, and we looked into the rags, and there was this pair of eyes. The rags were unwrapped from a little girl whose body was massively burned.
The Healing Power of Compassion
Again, the eyes and hands of Avalokiteshvara. It was the young women, the health aids, who cleaned the wounds of this baby and dressed the wounds. I know those hands and eyes; they touched me as well. They touched me at that time.
They have touched me throughout my 68 years. They touched me when I was four and I lost my eyesight and was partially paralyzed. And my family brought in a woman whose mother had been a slave to take care of me.
The Strength of Compassion
And that woman did not have sentimental compassion. She had phenomenal strength. And it was really her strength, I believe, that became the kind of mudra and imprimatur that has been a guiding light in my life. So we can ask: What is compassion comprised of?
And there are various facets. And there's referential and non-referential compassion. But first, compassion is comprised of that capacity to see clearly into the nature of suffering. It is that ability to really stand strong and to recognize also that I'm not separate from this suffering.
Transforming Suffering Through Compassion
But that is not enough, because compassion, which activates the motor cortex, means that we aspire, we actually aspire to transform suffering. And if we're so blessed, we engage in activities that transform suffering. But compassion has another component, and that component is really essential. That component is that we cannot be attached to outcome.
Now I worked with dying people for over 40 years. I had the privilege of working on death row in a maximum security [prison] for six years. And I realized so clearly in bringing my own life experience, from working with dying people and training caregivers, that any attachment to outcome would distort deeply my own capacity to be fully present to the whole catastrophe.
Watering the Seeds of Compassion
And when I worked in the prison system, it was so clear to me, this: that many of us in this room, and almost all of the men that I worked with on death row, the seeds of their own compassion had never been watered. That compassion is actually an inherent human quality. It is there within every human being.
But the conditions for compassion to be activated, to be aroused, are particular conditions. I had that condition, to a certain extent, from my own childhood illness. Eve Ensler, whom you'll hear later, has had that condition activated amazingly in her through the various waters of suffering that she has been through.
The Enemies of Compassion
And what is fascinating is that compassion has enemies, and those enemies are things like pity, moral outrage, fear. And you know, we have a society, a world, that is paralyzed by fear. And in that paralysis, of course, our capacity for compassion is also paralyzed.
The very word terror is global. The very feeling of terror is global. So our work, in a certain way, is to address this imago, this kind of archetype that has pervaded the psyche of our entire globe.
The Benefits of Compassion
Now we know from neuroscience that compassion has some very extraordinary qualities. For example: A person who is cultivating compassion, when they are in the presence of suffering, they feel that suffering a lot more than many other people do. However, they return to baseline a lot sooner.
This is called resilience. Many of us think that compassion drains us, but I promise you it is something that truly enlivens us. Another thing about compassion is that it really enhances what's called neural integration. It hooks up all parts of the brain.
Training in Compassion
Another, which has been discovered by various researchers at Emory and at Davis and so on, is that compassion enhances our immune system. Hey, we live in a very noxious world.
Most of us are shrinking in the face of psycho-social and physical poisons, of the toxins of our world. But compassion, the generation of compassion, actually mobilizes our immunity. You know, if compassion is so good for us, I have a question. Why don't we train our children in compassion?
Voting for Compassion
If compassion is so good for us, why don't we train our health care providers in compassion so that they can do what they're supposed to do, which is to really transform suffering? And if compassion is so good for us, why don't we vote on compassion? Why don't we vote for people in our government based on compassion, so that we can have a more caring world?
In Buddhism, we say, "it takes a strong back and a soft front." It takes tremendous strength of the back to uphold yourself in the midst of conditions. And that is the mental quality of equanimity. But it also takes a soft front — the capacity to really be open to the world as it is, to have an undefended heart.
Avalokiteshvara and Kuan-Yin
And the archetype of this in Buddhism is Avalokiteshvara, Kuan-Yin. It's a female archetype: she who perceives the cries of suffering in the world. She stands with 10,000 arms, and in every hand, there is an instrument of liberation, and in the palm of every hand, there are eyes, and these are the eyes of wisdom.
I say that, for thousands of years, women have lived, exemplified, met in intimacy, the archetype of Avalokitesvara, of Kuan-Yin, she who perceives the cries of suffering in the world. Women have manifested for thousands of years the strength arising from compassion in an unfiltered, unmediated way in perceiving suffering as it is.
Women as the Embodiment of Compassion
They have infused societies with kindness, and we have really felt that as woman after woman has stood on this stage in the past day and a half. And they have actualized compassion through direct action. Jody Williams called it: It's good to meditate. I'm sorry, you've got to do a little bit of that, Jody.
Step back, give your mother a break, okay. But the other side of the equation is you've got to come out of your cave. You have to come into the world like Asanga did, who was looking to realize Maitreya Buddha after 12 years sitting in the cave.
Asanga's Realization
He said, "I'm out of here." He's going down the path. He sees something in the path. He looks, it's a dog, he drops to his knees. He sees that the dog has this big wound on its leg.
The wound is just filled with maggots. He puts out his tongue in order to remove the maggots, so as not to harm them. And at that moment, the dog transformed into the Buddha of love and kindness.
Women as Lotuses in a Sea of Fire
I believe that women and girls today have to partner in a powerful way with men — with their fathers, with their sons, with their brothers, with the plumbers, the road builders, the caregivers, the doctors, the lawyers, with our president, and with all beings. The women in this room are lotuses in a sea of fire. May we actualize that capacity for women everywhere. Thank you.

An unnamed former highly-placed U.S.intelligence official has broken silence and says that
The source made these remarks in an exclusive interview with Douglas J. Hagmann, the director of the Northeast Intelligence Network, which is comprised of veteran licensed professional investigators, analysts, military affairs specialists and researchers. The group has combined their resources to provide accurate and well-sourced information via their website.
Hagmann appeared on Israel National Radio's Weekend Edition with host Tamar Yonah. When questioned about the possible abandonment of
In his report, the unnamed intelligence source told Hagmann, "I have every reason to believe, based on what I've seen at my level of [security] clearance especially over the last several years, that
Haggman told Yonah that this official broke silence because he had already retired from his highly placed position, and because of his knowledge of the NIN's (Northeast Intelligence Network) position as pro-Israel and the way it valued the relationship between
The intelligence officer explained that the turnover of American policy towards
In the case of the relationship between America and Israel, he noted, malicious intelligence is being used to turn over the U.S. to a more anti-Israel policy and forge ahead with a more pro-PA or pro-Islamist one.
Hagmann told Yonah in the radio interview, "A perfect example of this is when there was a shooting in
In the report that Hagmann posted on the NIN (Northeast Intelligence Network) he cited one of his sources explaining, "Now you can see where intelligence and politics meet and often collide,. " the Obama administration is being purposely filled with people who are truly anti-Israel, either because of their own financial interests or a larger globalist agenda that does not include Israel, or for that matter, the United States as a sovereign nation.

அடிக்கடி கேட்கப்படும் கேள்விகள்
- Q: Why is the sticky arrow hidden by my widgets or other page content?
A: The CSS z-index of the sticky arrow is set to 9999, so it should sit on top of everything. If it doesn't, it could be that your widget or other content has a z-index of 9999 also – in that case, set it to 9998 or less.
- Q: Does this work if I'm using a Genesis theme?
A: YES! Not only does it work, but the loading of the sticky arrow is specifically optimized for the Genesis hooks and initialization if you are using a Genesis child theme, meaning faster load times.
- Q: I've heard of Genesis before, and it sounds cool – where can I find it?
A: If you're interested, you can find out more about Genesis and StudioPress here: http://goo.gl/hE5B7F
Even if you already have Genesis, I would highly recommend the Minimum Pro theme – I use it for nearly all my clients because of its flexibility.

Stop the Massacre in Gaza – Boycott Israel Now!
Occupied Ramallah, Palestine – 27 December 2008: Today, the Israeli occupation army committed a new massacre in Gaza, causing the death and injury of hundreds of Palestinian civilians, including a yet unknown number of school children who were headed home from school when the first Israeli military strikes started.
This latest bloodbath, although far more ruthless than all its predecessors, is not Israel's first. It culminates months of an Israeli siege of Gaza that should be widely condemned and prosecuted as an act of genocide against the 1.5 million Palestinians in the occupied coastal strip.
Israel seems intent to mark the end of its 60th year of existence the same way it has established itself – perpetrating massacres against the Palestinian people. In 1948, the majority of the indigenous Palestinian people were ethnically cleansed from their homes and land, partly through massacres like Deir Yassin; today, the Palestinians in Gaza, most of whom are refugees, do not even have the choice to seek refuge elsewhere. Incarcerated behind ghetto walls and brought to the brink of starvation by the siege, they are easy targets for Israel's indiscriminate bombing.
Prof. Richard Falk, the UN Special Rapporteur for Human Rights in the Occupied Palestinian Territory and international law expert at Princeton University, described Israel's siege of Gaza last year, when it was still not comparable in its severity to the current situation, as follows:
"Is it an irresponsible overstatement to associate the treatment of Palestinians with this criminalized Nazi record of collective atrocity? I think not. The recent developments in Gaza are especially disturbing because they express so vividly a deliberate intention on the part of Israel and its allies to subject an entire human community to life-endangering conditions of utmost cruelty. The suggestion that this pattern of conduct is a holocaust-in-the-making represents a rather desperate appeal to the governments of the world and to international public opinion to act urgently to prevent these current genocidal tendencies from culminating in a collective tragedy."
The most brutal episode of this "collective tragedy" is what we have seen today.
Israel's war crimes and other grave violations of international law in Gaza as well as in the rest of the occupied Palestinian territory, including Jerusalem, could not have been perpetrated without the direct or indirect complicity of world governments, particularly the United States, the European Union, Egypt, and other Arab regimes.
While the US government has consistently sponsored, bankrolled and protected from international censure Israel's apartheid and colonial policies against the indigenous people of Palestine, the EU was able in the past to advocate a semblance of respect for international law and universal human rights. That distinction effectively ended on December 9th, when the EU Council decided unanimously to reward Israel's criminal disregard of international law by upgrading the EU-Israel Association Agreement. Israel clearly understood from this decision that the EU condones its actions against the Palestinians under its occupation. Palestinian civil society also got the message: the EU governments have become no less complicit in Israel's war crimes than their US counterpart.
The large majority of world governments, particularly in the global south, share part of the blame, as well. By continuing business as usual with Israel, in trade agreements, arms deals, academic and cultural ties, diplomatic openings, they have provided the necessary background for the complicity of world powers and, consequentially, for Israel's impunity. Furthermore, their inaction within the United Nations is inexcusable.
Father Miguel D'Escoto Brockman, President of the UN General Assembly prescribed in a recent address before the Assembly the only moral way forward for the world's nations in dealing with Israel:
"More than twenty years ago we in the United Nations took the lead from civil society when we agreed that sanctions were required to provide a nonviolent means of pressuring South Africa to end its violations. Today, perhaps we in the United Nations should consider following the lead of a new generation of civil society, who are calling for a similar non-violent campaign of boycott, divestment and sanctions to pressure Israel to end its violations."
Now, more than ever, the Palestinian Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions National Committee, BNC, calls upon international civil society not just to protest and condemn in diverse forms Israel's massacre in Gaza, but also to join and intensify the international Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaign against Israel to end its impunity and to hold it accountable for its persistent violation of international law and Palestinian rights. Without sustained, effective pressure by people of conscience the world over, Israel will continue with its gradual, rolling acts of genocide against the Palestinians, burying any prospects for a just peace under the blood and rubble of Gaza, Nablus and Jerusalem.
* The Palestinian BDS National Committee (BNC) includes: Council of National and Islamic Forces in Palestine; General Union of Palestinian Workers; Palestinian General Federation of Trade Unions; Palestinian Non-Governmental Organizations' Network (PNGO); Federation of Independent Trade Unions; Union of Palestinian Charitable Organizations; Global Palestine Right of Return Coalition; Occupied Palestine and Golan Heights Advocacy Initiative (OPGAI); General Union of Palestinian Women; Palestinian Farmers Union (PFU); Grassroots Palestinian Anti-Apartheid Wall Campaign (STW); Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI); National Committee to Commemorate the Nakba; Civic Coalition for the Defense of Palestinian Rights in Jerusalem (CCDPRJ); Coalition for Jerusalem; and Palestinian Economic Monitor.

For those of you looking to learn more about amateur radio satellites and just how attainable they can be, I wrote up a couple of introductory how-to guides for beginners. If you've been through the Teachers Institute program, you've by no doubt witnessed at least part of a satellite contact. For those of you that have attended the TI-2: Space in the Classroom, this may be old hat. If you have not checked out the TI-2 opportunities for Teacher's Institute alumni, visit http://www.arrl.org/ti-2 The best way to begin with satellites is to understand the vocabulary and lingo of space operations and astronomers. In general, the directions North, South, East and West are generally accurate enough for land navigation, but not quite accurate enough to spot a small object against the night sky. To deal with this, we use degrees of Azimuth. This is also referred to as Bearing or Heading for navigational uses, but for our celestial uses we refer to it as Azimuth. The compass rose can be divided into 360 "slices" with each slice labeled 1º. 0º is North, 90º is East, 180º is South and 270º is West - understanding that, you'll be able to introduce the concept of angles to younger students (which they pick up on very quickly) and reinforce geometry concepts for older, secondary students. The next term is Altitude. We're not necessarily talking in feet and meters here. By altitude, we're talking about the angle from the horizon we should direct our eyes or antennas. With altitude, 0º is the horizon, 90º is straight up. With those 2 terms under your belt, you can probably see how we can accurately describe any point in the sky. You may want to perform an activity with your students where you give them Azimuth and Elevation of particular landmarks from a predetermined point around campus. Using a magnetic compass and protractor, the students could use the angles you provide them to locate the top of the local water tower, church steeple, Left field baseball foul pole, campus flag pole, campus sign, jungle gym or other prominent things visible from your point of reference. Start with large, wide objects at first to allow them to get the hang of it, then move to smaller and narrower objects. Once your students have a grasp of these concepts, you can ask them try to spot the International Space Station on its next pass overhead. How to do this is explained here: http://www.neodux.com/read/HOWTO:_ISS_Viewing Note that almost every pass will occur before or after school hours, so this is definitely a homework assignment. Over the course of a few nights, your students will get better and better at using these terms to locate celestial bodies and this is the first objective toward making satellite contacts. Once you're comfortable spotting the ISS, you're ready to move on to receiving satellite signals from the FM satellites: http://www.neodux.com/read/HOWTO:_Working_Ham_Satellites Let us know how your kids handle the activities and any points of confusion. We'll be happy to assist! |

Also be sure to check out YouTube for dozens of great videos showing the mechanics of making lightweight, handheld satellite contacts as well as audio samples of what it will sound like. It's not much in the way of visuals, but here's a sample of us working several stations as W1AW on AO-27 from the HQ parking lot during on Teachers Institute. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5aGriCx-YA |

Today's Women Rock Wednesday starts with a man.
(Figures. Ugh.)
(Just kidding.)
But seriously, it does start with a man.
I was up north in Minocqua a month or so ago and chatting with a colleague I don't see terribly often. Somehow, the topic turned to Harry Potter. I'm honesty not sure how. I swear I'd fess up if I recalled steering the conversation that direction, but I really don't remember doing that. Regardless, we were talking about Harry Potter and the aforementioned colleague, Peter, told me about Harry Potter and the Sacred Text. A weekly podcast that takes you through the Harry Potter series, chapter by chapter, reading and discussing each through the lens of a specific theme and using various traditional spiritual practices to relate the reading and those themes to the world and our own lie.
I'd actually never listened to a podcast before, but audiobooks have completely changed my running experience, so it seemed like something I could get behind. Two things first…
- I had to figure out how to listen to a podcast. It was a little bit of a process that made me feel o-l-d and required that I admit to more than one person that I didn't even know how to start, but I got there. The little purple Podcast icon is now on my iphone home page and I've got all of the Book 1 podcasts loaded.
- This felt like something I really didn't want to do alone, but taking a children's book that seriously isn't something you can ask just anyone to do. Fortunately, I knew exactly who I wanted to do it with. Unfortunately… anxiety. And that brings me to the real meat of this story: Nicole. Yes, I did just call my friend meat. And she is a woman. Two strikes against this post already.
Nicole and I were both chemistry majors at Michigan Tech. I can count on one hand (literally) the other female chemistry majors I knew while I was there — Beth, Amanda, Shannon. And because other women were so few and far between in my classes, on campus, in the dorms, there was really something special about the bonds I forged with them while there. There was a familiarity, a safety, a kinship with those women that may or may not have been unique to Michigan Tech, but was definitely unique in my life to that point and I sincerely value those relationships.
I loved (and still love, honesty) those women. But I was desperately shy around Nicole while we were still in Houghton. She had this gorgeous, unruly, curly black hair that she wore with absolute abandon, while I was still busy working my way out of the over-gelled, wet poodle, ramen noodle look. She wore rocker jeans and funky t-shirts and chucks with everything. I never went anywhere or wore anything without a white, crew neck, men's t-shirt underneath. She spoke up for what she believed in in class and on campus. I was busy trying to quietly figure out what I even believed in enough to speak up about. I put Nicole on a high pedestal and convinced myself I couldn't reach her there.
Fortunately, Facebook emerged on the college scene circa 2005 and I was far more comfortable with virtual friendship than I was with the in-person kind. Nicole and I, like many other college classmates, became friends on Facebook and stayed that way after graduation as we went our separate ways — interstate moves, jobs and grad schools, marriages and more new states, quietly noting one another in our evolving Facebook feeds. So many times, though, there was overlap. Overlap in likes and dislikes, feelings about life milestones or political happenings, appreciation for four-legged creatures with fur and science, science, science. Curls and books. David Bowie and JK Rowling. It was too much to ignore, so we didn't.
Nicole, from her pedestal on high, took the first big step when she sent me her actual phone number — allowing us to step outside of the Facebook world into the real one. And it was up to me to invite her, via that very real phone number, to do Harry Potter and the Sacred Text with me. I took a page out of Nicole's Big Book of Bravery and did it. She said yes.
The first podcast was a revelation. The two moderators (hosts? what do you call a podcast star???) talked about spirituality and what it meant to view something as a sacred text – to love a work, feel at home with it, and to intentionally spend time with the words and their meaning in the context of our own lives. People have done this with a variety of texts for ages and ages – the bible, for example. So why not Harry Potter?
Why not, indeed?
I was enamored instantly and the week-long conversation that 30 minute podcast and single chapter of reading sparked between Nicole and I fed me in an incredibly profound way over that first week. We talked, also, at length about how quickly we wanted to go. The biggest part of me wanted to RUN, to devour it, take as much in as quickly as I possibly could. But a deeper, more rational part of me, convinced me that to savor it would be better. And as I listened to the second podcast on a walk with my pup in the sunshine this afternoon, I was so grateful for that decision. What I heard again moved my heart. I cannot wait to sit down with my book this evening and really reflect, using a version of the spiritual practice of lectio divina to fully engage with the text and my friend.
I learned in that first week that I am committed to authenticity. But as I think about this week's theme of loneliness, I understand how terrified I was of authenticity for much of my life. I set myself up for loneliness by spending a lot of energy trying to fit in and worrying that I wouldn't, rather than engaging others authentically and finding meaning in the relationships that resulted. That started to change in college to some extent, and even more so in graduate school, but only now is it something that I would consider intentional.
Perhaps that's why now is exactly the right time for me to discover a real relationship with Nicole. Any sooner and I may have felt the need to purchase a pair of chucks, but she'd have seen right through it and I'd have blown everything. Or maybe not. But seriously, this woman rocks and now is definitely a good time!

How to Install .NET Framework 3.5 in #Windows 10?

If you are facing issues installing .NET Framework 3.5 (many applications actually need this to run) in your Windows 10 and all the other op...- Article authored by Kunal Chowdhury on .
If you are facing issues installing .NET Framework 3.5 (many applications actually need this to run) in your Windows 10 and all the other options failed, my dear friend, you came to perfect page where I will show you how to install the same.
In this blog post, we will learn the command by which you can install .NET Framework 3.5 in Windows 10. This also works in other versions of Windows.
If you are facing issues with installation of .NET Framework 3.5, you might have noticed that, it is asking you to install .NET Framework 3.5 to install .NET Framework 3.5. Quite strange!!! Isn't it? Just like a deadlock. Install "A" to install "A". Yes my friend, you are right and here comes the solution.
To install the Framework properly, you will need the original Windows installation media. If you don't have the same handy, download Windows 10 ISO image (for offline installation) using the Windows 10 Media Creation Tool from Microsoft. Once you download the ISO image, double click it to mount it in your system. This will create a virtual DVD drive in your system and mount the ISO there, which will look like a fresh DVD in your system having Windows 10 setup media. Also, you can extract the content of the ISO using tools like WinRAR to proceed with next.
To begin with, open the Command Prompt with administrative privileges. To do so in Windows 10, right click on the start button (or press "Win + X") to popup the system menu. There you will find a menu item titled "Command Prompt (Admin)". Click on this to launch the command prompt in admin mode. Here is a screenshot of the same for your reference:
Once the Command Prompt opens in the screen, place the following command and hit enter. Please make sure to change the source path, as mentioned later.
DISM /Online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:NetFx3 /All /LimitAccess /Source:x:\sources\sxs
If you have Windows setup at "D:" drive, replace "x:" with "d:"
If you have Windows setup at "D:\Installers" folder path, replace "x:" with "d:\installers"
And also, make sure that "sources\sxs" folder exists in your Windows 10 installation media. When run from the command prompt, it will start installing the .NET framework. Please keep patience as it might take some time to install the .NET Framework. Once done, restart your system for the changes to take effect.
Details on command line parameters, for your reference and knowledge:
/Online targets the operating system you're running (instead of an offline Windows image).
/Enable-Feature /FeatureName:NetFx3 specifies that you want to enable the .NET Framework 3.5.
/All enables all parent features of the .NET Framework 3.5.
/LimitAccess prevents DISM from contacting Windows Update.
/Source specifies the location of the files needed to restore the feature (in this example, the x:\sources\sxs directory).
Details about my struggle with installation of .NET Framework 3.5 and various alternative options that I tried, is already mentioned in this blog post. If you have some spare time, don't forget to ready that experience.
Hope this will help you to resolve the issue in a very quick manner. Though the post describes installation in Windows 10, but is also applicable for Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1.

'Will Run for Italian Leadership Again'
ROME: Former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi said on Saturday he would run to become the country's leader for a fifth time, confirming his return to politics after months of indecision. "I'm going to race to win," Berlusconi told reporters at the practice field for AC Milan, the soccer club he controls. "And again, I'm doing it out of a sense of responsibility."
The 76-year-old media tycoon resigned in 2011 as prime minister as Italy teetered on the edge of a Greek-style debt crisis and he was dogged by a sex-scandal which included allegations he was involved with an underage prostitute. The announcement he would run in his sixth national election came just two days after his People of Liberty (PDL) party withdrew support for Mario Monti's government, bringing the country close to a snap election a few months short of the natural end of the legislature.
On Saturday, Berlusconi said PDL would pass legislation proposed by Monti's government, including next year's budget package, and that March 10 was an acceptable date for the parliamentary election, confirming the collapse of Monti's government was not imminent. Berlusconi has repeatedly changed his mind in the last few months on whether he will stand in the election, but he dropped a strong hint on Wednesday he was about to return to the spotlight.
President Giorgio Napolitano asked the former European commissioner Monti to form a government of technocrats after Berlusconi stepped down, with the support of a right-left coalition that includes the PDL. Monti imposed austerity measures to bring borrowing costs under control. But the higher taxes have weighed on consumer spending and deepened a recession that began in the second half of last year.
Though the euro zone's third-biggest economy is still struggling, Monti has calmed the financial markets and the spread between Italy and German benchmark bonds this week fell to nearly half the level it was when he took over. Monti, who is a life-appointed Senator, has said he will not stand in next year's vote, but is willing to step in afterward if the result is not clear.
