There is always a film festival on. To survey just the last week of September 2014 there are (counting only those with a FIPRESCI jury): San Sebastian, Saint Petersburg, Reykjavik, Rio de Janeiro and Perm, the latter for sure being the most special of the lot, and not just because it happens in the same city that hosts the Flahertiana International Documentary Film Festival. Situated just west of Ural Mountains, Perm is Russia's easternmost metropolis, with a million citizens on the European continent. It is the gateway to Siberia, a place you won't necessarily travel to for holidays — unless you plan on riding the Trans-Siberian Railway from Moscow to the Pacific. Then you would certainly do well to stop in Perm.
But anybody who is even slightly enthusiastic about documentaries can strongly be recommended to do the same. And they shouldn't be too worried about "Siberian" weather: the 14th edition of Flahertiana took place in a sunny and warm city blooming with Indian summer. No gloves were needed during the festival run from September 21st to 28th. With it's first edition held in 1995, the festival took place every two years until 2006, since then the festival is held annually with an International Jury and a FIPRESCI jury present.
This year FIPRESCI jury members had to consider 17 films presented in the International Competition, all of which were Russian premieres. With Flahertiana and its award-sculpture ("Nanook") being named after American filmmaker Robert Flaherty and his classic documentary Nanook of the North, the festival regulations draw on Flaherty's principles of filmmaking. So all films in competition really were "films where the hero lives on the screen a part of his life directed by the author according to the laws of dramatic art", with running times ranging from 19 to 85 minutes. The FIPRESCI prize was awarded to Abu Haraz by Polish filmmaker Maciel J. Drygas, a film which also convinced the international jury to honour it with its main prize, the Big Golden Nanook.
Apart from the international competition and the "Russian Flahertiana" program (which this year included 17 Russian films) the festival offers numerous sidebar programs. In the 14th edition, besides a "Focus Germany" and a "Focus Caucasus", there was a special program in memory of cinematographer and documentary film director Sergei Skvortsov and an evening with two premiere films by Boris Karadzhev. At Flahertiana, documentary filmmaking isn't only alive on screen: the festival buzzes with workshops, lectures and discussions, and with "Flahertiana for Kids" making it also an educational space teeming with life.
This year a really special event took place on the last day of the festival: the unveiling of the monument to famous Russian documentary filmmaker Anatoly Baluev in his native village Kochyovo. It is the first monument in the world to a documentary filmmaker. (Kirsten Kieninger)

TrueNorth to remodel Cedar Rapids office, add 57 jobs
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa — TrueNorth Insurance and Financial Strategies is planning a $2.5 million expansion of its downtown Cedar Rapids corporate headquarters.
TrueNorth plans to build out 17,000 square feet of enclosed but unfinished space on the second floor of its corporate headquarters at 500 First St. SE. The additional office space will enable the company to create an additional 57 jobs over the next three years.
The Iowa Economic Development Board recently awarded $138,476 in state tax incentives for the project from the High Quality Jobs Program will total.
TrueNorth purchased and renovated the building that housed the Cedar Rapids Public Library before it was damaged by a flood in June 2008. The company completely renovated the structure, creating offices on the second floor and enclosed parking for 90 staff vehicles on the first floor.
In a prepared statement, Duane Smith, president and CEO of TrueNorth, said the company wants to convert the parking area into offices. Smith expects the latest remodeling project to begin in November and be completed by April 2016.
TrueNorth employs 257 including 173 at its headquarters. The company has locations in Cedar Falls, Des Moines, and the Quad Cities. The company also has sales offices in Colorado, Illinois, Kansas, Michigan, Tennessee and Texas.

Modern video streaming services are able to offer free-to-air and basic cable network shows within hours of their broadcast, giving rise to the trend of 'cord cutters' who are forgoing the useless bloat of costly cable packages in favor of on-demand streaming.
Yet there's a couple of key holes in that strategy that have meant that people have often still had to hold onto their cable services. One of the big ones has been the three key premium cable networks for original dramatic series content – HBO, Showtime and Starz.
With the announcement of HBO's stand-alone streaming service HBO Now on Monday, the question quickly becomes whether the other two will follow suit. CBS owns Showtime and today CBS chief Les Moonves revealed to investors that Showtime will be following suit in the not-too-distant future.
Moonves says: "There's been a bit of interest – I think the floodgate is now open. We got a number of calls yesterday from existing players and digital players that we've talked to in the past…. The content we have at Showtime is also premium. I don't think there's any way, shape, or form for anybody to look at [the launch of HBO Now] other than as a major positive for premium cable."
Moonves has also been ecstatic regarding the reaction to early testing of subscription streaming service CBS All Access which offers live broadcasts to people who live around the network owned stations. Deals are almost in place to offer the service throughout the country within a few months.
Earlier this week, Starz CEO Chris Albrecht seemed very positive about Time Warner's plans for HBO Now and he doesn't "mind them being successful trailblazers". However his network is not where HBO is in terms of library size and brand yet so don't expect similar subscription service for a while to get access to successful Starz shows like "Outlander," "Black Sails," "Power" and "Da Vinci's Demons".

Carry the Message
"We sit at A.A. meetings and listen, not only to receive something, but to give reassurance and support which our presence can bring. If our turn comes to speak at a meeting, we again try to carry A.A.'s message. Whether our audience is one or many, it is still Twelfth Step work."
Bill W., Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, p. 110
That light at the end of the tunnel may be you.
Teaching Recovery Using Steps and Traditions
We reacted more strongly to frustrations than normal
AS BILL SEES IT, p. I l l
Impatience with other people is one of my principal
failings. Following a slow car in a no-passing lane, or
waiting in a restaurant for the check, drives me to
distraction. Before I give God a chance to slow me down, I
explode, and that's what I call being quicker than God.
That repeated experience gave me an idea. I thought if I
could look down on these events from God's point of view,
I might better control my feelings and behavior. I tried it
and when I encountered the next slow driver, I levitated
and looked down on the other car and upon myself. I saw
an elderly couple driving along, happily chatting about
their grandchildren. They were followed by me—bug-eyed
and red of face—who had no time schedule to meet
anyway. I looked so silly that I dropped back into reality
and slowed down. Seeing things from God's angle of vision
can be very relaxing.
"If you give, you will receive. Your gift will return to you in full measure, pressed down, shaken together to make room for more, and running over. Whatever measure you use in giving – large or small – it will be used to measure what is given back to you." (Luke 6:38)
We do not give because God needs the gift but because the giving increases, broadens and deepens the life of the giver. Nor shall we give from the standpoint of duty. The Universe refuses to bargain with us. It already has given us everything it has. But it also has provided that the gift of life can be received in its fullness only as it flows through us to the fullness of others.
Ernest Holmes Science of mind
It says in the book that we don't straighten out
until we take care of the spiritual dilemma,
which is what I was in.
If you have built castles in the air your work need not be lost. That is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.
Yesterday I was clever,
so I wanted to change the world.
Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.
so I wanted to change the world.
Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.
ACIM Workbook Lesson 159 Insights
"I give the miracles I have received."
Before I can give a miracle, I must receive a miracle. Receiving a miracle is receiving Christ's vision. Christ's vision provides the bridge by which my mind, which has been lost in separation, is returned back to the truth. Christ's vision brings an awareness of the truth of the Light behind every form. Christ's vision reminds me all is still as God created It. All are innocent. All are still Love in the Mind of God.
Christ's vision is the gift of the Holy Spirit. To receive Christ's vision I must be open to receiving the truth and willing to let go of illusions. I must be willing to relax my hold on what I think is real. I must be willing to soften and allow the miracle to be given me. I must be open to Holy Spirit's healing perspective. The Holy Spirit heals all thoughts of lack, sickness, division or differences of any kind. The Holy Spirit brings me peace and a remembrance of the everlasting Love we all are.
With practice, my willingness is growing day by day to be open to receive the miracle of Christ's vision from the Holy Spirit. There is no gift more important to receive and then give. I continue this process of practice again today, knowing that if I am truly willing I will receive Christ's vision and I will give as I receive.
Christ's vision is a dream of awakening, a dream of a forgiven world. It does not require that I transcend the world to receive it. But rather it is the means to transcend the world. Christ's vision shows me a reflection of Heaven so clear that it is a simple and easy step from His vision to the reality of Heaven. As it told us in yesterday's lesson, we can learn to see with Christ's vision and we can teach this vision to others. In fact this is the only meaningful purpose we can have in this world.
This lesson reinforces that to know I have His vision, I must give it. The miracle is the exchange of the perception of guilt for the perception of innocence. As I see innocence in my brother, I recognize it in myself. As I see innocence in myself, I reinforce it and strengthen it by seeing it in my brother. I always receive what I give. Christ's vision shows me the call for Love in expressions of anger and fear. It inspires me to answer the call with Love. As I answer with Love, I teach myself that I am Love and that I am safe.
The vision of Christ brings joy and peace to my heart. It shows me a world of harmlessness. It shows me the eternal Love that is everywhere, in everything and is What I am. With Christ's vision I do not mistake the body for the Son God created. With His vision, form becomes useful only as a means to communicate that all is forgiven and only Love is real. It is a gift I give myself and all the world, for we are one. My heart is lifted in gratitude.

Then a few years ago I came across an article in San Francisco Chronicle* that confirmed my assumptions.
The article exposed the missing link for me: that blues is an African American experience. And African American of course denotes origin from Africa and this is where things get interesting. Although the article focuses more on religion and the musical connection to Africa, the point that interests me is the lyrics.
The Persian classical poets, specially Rumi, where immensely popular in the East. In fact Rumi has been a giant in Middle East ever since the 13th Century. And the Persian classical metaphors for heartache, drunkenness, disagreeable lover, and aloneness were well established all through the Mideast from the Mediterranean Sea to India, North, West and East Africa and the Moorish Spain.
The African slaves, who were familiar with the imagery and metaphors of the Persian classical poetry, brought these ideas with them to the US and gradually through generations as English became their native tongue learned to express them in the New World.

Whose Manning the Mirror?
Globally, within all faiths, almost
all heads have thoughts, about the sense and scape
of humankind. (But, nevermind their host
has not appeared incarnate, since an ape
first swung through trees!). Exactly what we are,
none know. So that I don't create a wrong,
destructive likeness of the truth, I bar
'belief' and 'wish', from traveling along,
when consciously, I ponder and parse out
the doings of my day. The rock hard rules
for strengthening one's psychic grip and clout,
arise of plying Virtue's tools and jewels.
Devotion to the goals we set, must be
for real. Worship and praise will not
reform one's weak attention span, nor free
the snags and snarls, bedeviling one's Thought.
Wake up! You're not the one you thought you were,
but are the one who thought it! This divide
is perfect proof that there, beyond the blur,
Soul's eyes await the death of Jeckyl/Hyde.

Concerned residents of Mushin community, Lagos Mainland staged a protest against the National Legal Adviser of All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr. Muiz Banire, who is one of the political leaders for the party in Mushin and Odi-Olowo/Ojuwoye at the party secretariat in Acme, Ikeja, Lagos Mainland.

Eyes Of Lagos gathered that, According to the protesters, Dr. Banire in his days as political leader in Mushin and Odi-Olowo/Ojuwoye, was fond of imposing candidates on party members.

The original musical act The Blues Brothers originated in 1978 on Saturday Night Live with comedians John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd. Decades after John Belushi's death in 1982, his younger brother, actor Jim Belushi (According to Jim) joined the band. The Blues Brothers are performing at the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol on the Fourth of July to celebrate America's 241st birthday.
[Left: The Blues Brothers released 14 albums including the soundtrack to the 1980 movie]
Prior to their live performance, Aykroyd and Belushi spoke with PBS correspondent Elizabeth Floyd in their Blues Brothers characters, Brothers Elwood and Zee. Elwood (Aykroyd) introduces Zee (Belushi) as "a true descendant of the Illinois Alpha Males," and explains "of course, I used to perform with his brother (Brother Jake) and now we do the act. It's kind of like a law firm with a deceased partner." A Capitol Fourth will air on July 4 at 8pm on PBS.

Got a Big Tax Bill? H&R Block Explains Payment Options That Can Save You Money
KANSAS CITY, MO, Apr 06, 2011 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- While nearly 76 percent of taxpayers received tax refunds last year averaging more than $3,000 (1), there were still many who found themselves facing a balance due. So what happens if taxpayers can't pay their tax bills?
Taxpayers should send what they can with their tax return or extension to file by April 18 to limit IRS penalties assessed. The penalty for not paying in full is 0.5 percent of the unpaid balance per month, whereas the monthly penalty for not filing a tax return is 10 times that amount (5 percent). Interest also accrues on the unpaid tax and the penalties assessed.
When cash is not available to pay taxes owed, some taxpayers turn to plastic. Taxpayers who use credit cards often face double-digit interest rates and must pay IRS service providers' processing fees between 1.90 and 2.35 percent.
"There are many options for taxpayers to explore before entering into an agreement with the IRS. For some taxpayers, the best bet may be borrowing money from family or friends," said Elaine Smith, H&R Block tax professional and enrolled agent. Only enrolled agents, certified public accountants and lawyers may represent taxpayers before the IRS for matters including collection and audit.
When other options are not available, the IRS has payment solutions for taxpayers with tax bills bigger than they can handle.
Payment plan with IRS allows for paying over five years
Taxpayers can work with the IRS on these payment solutions, based on how long it will take them to pay.
If a taxpayer has a $1,000 tax liability on the due date of the return, but does not pay it until Oct. 17, the interest will be approximately $21, and the failure-to-pay penalty will be $30 ($1,000 x 0.5% for 6 months), for a total of $51. (2) There is no installment agreement necessary if the taxpayer can pay the full balance within 120 days.
IRS extensions to pay and installment agreements are debts that may appear on a credit report, but do not cause the same harm to credit ratings as property liens.
The IRS is increasing its efforts to help taxpayers with tax bills bigger than they can pay in a lump sum. This year the IRS doubled the amount of taxes due -- from $5,000 to $10,000 -- before it will issue a property lien. As a result, far fewer taxpayers will face this collection method.
Paying less than what is owed is rare and calls for special circumstances
An IRS offer in compromise (OIC) settles a tax debt for less than the amount owed. The IRS will negotiate with eligible taxpayers to collect what it can. However, typically less than 1 percent of all offers are accepted, and the application process can take up to two years. During this time, further collection measures are not taken, yet penalties and interest accrue on the balance.
The IRS weighs present and future earnings when deciding OICs, instead of just prior years' earnings. Starting this tax season, taxpayers must have tax liability of less than $50,000 to participate (the former limit was $25,000). Taxpayers must be current on filing tax returns, not in bankruptcy, and meet one of these three conditions to be eligible:
- Taxpayer's assets and income combined equal less than tax debt owed
- Taxpayer believes the tax debt assessed is incorrect and there is no legal decision on the matter
- The full tax debt is owed and is collectible, but a special circumstance exists, such as serious illness or the likelihood to deplete finances.
For a more detailed explanation of resources available for taxpayers unable to pay their tax bill in one lump sum, read the balance due options chart created by The Tax Institute at H&R Block.
Taxpayers who can't file by the deadline or are concerned their return won't be right if they hurry, shouldn't settle for less than filing an accurate tax return. To help these taxpayers, participating H&R Block offices are offering free extensions to file through the April 18 tax filing deadline. For more information about applying for a free extension at an H&R Block office, visit www.hrblock.com or call 800-HRBLOCK.
H&R Block provides guaranteed, income tax return preparation services through its company-owned and franchise offices, and the H&R Block At Home online and desktop solutions. For an online tutorial, join H&R Block's Get It Right Community tax forum, and visit its Facebook and Twitter pages.

A lot of people who are currently performing had been friends with or were taught with Jason Chin, even more were unknowingly influenced as his students went on to teach and perform.
I was just googling today and I saw that he passed. So sad. One thing I remember reading was that in the new iO building, there were little toy dinosaurs appearing randomly. Finally Charna asked about it and it was found that Chin was placing them around the theatre. He said he did it to give the theatre character.
I think I'm going to take a dinosaur to Go this week.

High School Sports
Spencer celebrates 9 football players signing college scholarships
Ye'Majesty Sanders shares why he chose Jacksonville State
As the standing-room-only crowd gathered in the Spencer High School library Wednesday to watch nine Greenwaves sign college football scholarships, coach Pierre Coffey put the scene in perspective.
"This is probably the most fulfilling moment of the football season," he told the Ledger-Enquirer. "It's always great to see kids use football as a platform to get their education. … I'm extremely proud of them, extremely proud."
Leading the team's class of signees is Ye'Majesty Sanders, a 6-foot-5, 320-pound offensive tackle, who will play for Jacksonville State at the NCAA's second-highest level, the Division I Football Championship Subdivision.
Sanders had more than 15 offers, Coffey said, including two from the NCAA's highest level, Division I Football Bowl Subdivision members Arkansas State and Charlotte. Coffey said Sanders also had offers from FCS members Campbell, Mercer, Tennessee State and Tennessee Tech.
Sanders told the Ledger-Enquirer he declined the FBS offers in favor of Jacksonville State because he "felt like it was for me. I felt comfortable, at home."
He still expects to get a chance to play pro football.
"To me, it really doesn't matter," Sanders said. "With the grind and hard work that you do, any school you go to will be acceptable."
Regardless, signing his scholarship is an "overwhelming" feeling, Sanders said. "I feel like I've accomplished a lot. I still have more to accomplish."
Sports Illustrated selected Sanders as one of four "captains" on the 91-player 2017 National Signing Day All-Name Team. Coffey, however, noted Sanders has more than an unusual first name and big body.
"It has been an absolute pleasure to be around this young man," he said during the ceremony.
Then the coach addressed the student athletes in the back of the library.
"Ye'Majesty has offers like that, and he has those choices, because he's also an exceptional student," Coffey said. "It is so important, young people, that we do what we're supposed to do in the classroom."
Spencer had 11 seniors sign football scholarships last year, nine on National Signing Day and two later. This year, Coffey expects another Greenwave to also sign later. "So we'll be in double digits again this year," he said in the interview.

We operate a small bulk buying club out of The Mothership. We work with wholesalers and directly with farmers to purchase local, organic, and otherwise ethically sourced foods. We have sources of meat, eggs, produce, and bulk dry goods. If you aren't sure whether we can get what you want, just ask.
Where possible, we make our suppliers' price sheets available to you directly. Since many wholesalers consider this secret information, we keep them on a password protected website. If you'd like access to pricing, you can join the bulk buying club.
All prices are based directly on the cost of purchasing them from the supplier. We charge a 5% handling fee, rounded up to the nearest nickel on most items that covers gas, operating this website, and a few other related expenses.
Split Cases
If you don't want an entire case of something, there are options. Some of our suppliers can do split cases of certain items, though they often charge a small handling fee for doing so. Even items that cannot be split by the supplier can be split among several members of the bulk buying club. If you would like to split an order with someone(s), contact us and we'll send out the details by e-mail to other buying club members who have signed up to receive updates. E-mails are sent out no more than twice per week, and only when we have something real to say (like someone has requested a split case).
There are a few items that we keep in stock, and can therefore be ordered in much smaller quantities. When ordering smaller quantities of these items, we find the per-pound or item cost, add 10%, and round up to the nearest nickel.
You can pay with cash, a check, or Dwolla. We can accept credit cards by special arrangement, but there will be an associated fee in order to cover the cost of using a card. There is a $35 returned check fee.
Our preferred method of payment is Dwolla. Dwolla is a low cost payment network that connects securely to your bank account. They charge just $0.25 per transaction, which you will be responsible for paying. Our Dwolla ID is 812-342-3945 if you prefer to send us money through their interface, or you can
The first time you pay with Dwolla, the process takes an extra few days to verify your bank account. If you sign up now, you can be ready in time for your first order.

The 22 year works for Gionino's Pizza shop and had recently had trouble with drugs.
'It just really truly amazes me that people who don't even know me just wanted to help me out that much,' he said.
But the church's pastor, Ken Wright, did admit he was not expecting Louis to be given so much money.
'I just thought, "Let's just tip him $100. It's the holiday season",' he told WKYC.

Reality is that which, when you stop believing it, doesn't go away.
The truth believed is a lie.
Werner Erhard
Beliefs are neither bad nor good; beliefs are simply nonexistent. That which is nonexistent cannot take a truth-value, the root of all meaning in the empirical world. Therefore all beliefs, and all conceptualizations like identifications, roles and stories for that matter, cannot be true or real by definition. The two above quotes address this point: that which counts as reality doesn't go away when you stop believing in it; and the very act of believing distorts "what is" and turns truth into a lie.
Having said this, it does not mean that in the empirical world beliefs may not be useful at times, just don't take them to exist, or to be real or true. For instance, you can hold the uplifting belief that essentially you are a lucky person and just about everything works out well in your life. This may well be a very helpful belief to hold in the world, especially in regard to two cognitive biases-the confirmation bias and self-fulfilling expectancy. With these cognitive biases you would tend to see confirmation of your belief and tend to expect good lucky things to occur, both of which would reinforce the belief as operating well in the world to your benefit and possibly every one else's.
On a purely practical basis, holding such a positive and affirmative belief can often be helpful in navigating your way in the empirical or relative world. Some former atheists and agnostics now believe in what is variously termed a Higher Power, Divinity or God because it works for them in living better, happier and more functional lives. In fact, holding such a functional beliefs lightly yet firmly in the world, without any "you" identifying with it, could be seen as authentic freedom. At root, you are free from the ego-mind's fixation on being a doer that is enacting some role or playing out some story, which only results in pain, misery, self-sabotage and suffering. So long as you don't identify "who you are" as a belief, such as being lucky, you remain free to be who you truly are-an authentic liberated True Self.
Several other useful beliefs come to mind, literally. See which you subscribe to. One is washing your hands periodically can help you prevent an infection or illness. A good number of medical doctors used to practice this, and I trust a fair number still do. Some physicians believe in the Hippocratic Oath and practice no harm in their practices. Or, an apple a day keeps the doctor away. How about, look both ways before crossing the street? Or when going through an intersection, cover your brakes. Carpenters practice the rule to measure twice and cut once. Mechanics practice turning off engines and letting them cool down before working on them. They also are quite methodical in laying out the parts in breaking down a car so they can put it back together in the same order they took it apart. Most pragmatically, some people believe in clearing a space before beginning their work. The list is endless. You might want to argue that almost all of these beliefs are nothing more than common sense and I wouldn't disagree. Of course, as anyone can plainly and repeatedly see, common sense is anything but common in this world.
There may well be a whole slew of such useful or workable beliefs for living in the world that apply to certain fields of study, lines of work and personal life. For instance, the concepts of time, space and cause can be seen as implicit beliefs standing for something in the universe, and all are nonexistent since all concepts do not exist. At the same time, these particular concepts and the beliefs regarding them have been most useful in many fields, particularly physics, chemistry, biology and philosophy, in helping describe phenomena of all sorts. The research literature regarding what is called "positive psychology" that includes optimism, resiliency, flow, mindfulness and self-actualization, would appear to chronicle the useful benefits of holding workable beliefs, no matter how nonexistent they actually are.
Similarly, acting in the world in a way that encompasses specific roles can equally be helpful. Take the roles of mother and father, son and daughter, aunt or uncle. When you contribute to another and the world through actions in these roles, isn't that love made manifest? Isn't such behavior in these roles being of service to others we love and the world at large? When people are in the roles of owner, boss, supervisor, manager, employee and co-worker, isn't there the opportunity to make a positive difference in boosted productivity, sharpening skill sets and affirmatively touching other people's lives? The greatest danger of any conceptualization, including to act through roles, is becoming attached or identified with the role as being who you are. Exactly at this juncture any one can get unconsciously caught up in the role, believe he or she "is" the role and have the ego-mind get puffed up in actually knowing something within this role and promptly jam it down another's throat! Not at all helpful.
Likewise, stories are a timeless mental form that can be inspirational, motivational and poignant. Theory and explanation only goes so far, even with those most predisposed to these pointers. An insightful and revealing story illustrating some point or moral can be far more impactful and clarifying than any description. News stories are notorious for portraying snippets of real-life with all its messiness, heartless cruelty and loving compassion. Who hasn't been gripped by such stories? The childhood nursery rhymes, fairy tales, and fables from around the world teach the dangers, wise discernment and preventative care in effectively facing the challenges life presents. The timeless stories told in wisdom, religious and spiritual traditions impart practical moral lessons with each new generation.
The greatest hazards of stories is not only becoming so attached and identified with the story to believe you are the story itself or that the story is absolutely true in all circumstances, but more the misuse of developing a story to then follow the ego-mind in using it as a manipulative ploy to get something or somewhere. The media, advertisers, politicians, lawyers, collection workers and business people are leading candidates for misuse of stories to everyone's detriment and their apparent gain.
Should we toss concepts, such as beliefs, roles and stories, simply because they are nonexistent? Of course not. Beliefs, roles, stories and other concepts can be most helpful and workable in many fields for the specific purposes of description, explanation and understanding of how things work as well as for the practical advantages they oftentimes offer. Obviously, these conceptualizations can also be so consciously or unconsciously invested in, identified with, attached to, and misused as to render them not only ineffectual, but outright defeating and destructive. An ax can function to cut wood and can also be used as a weapon. Similarly, like any tool, conceptualizations can be used for good or ill.
When William Shakespeare asked in his tragic play Hamlet, "To be or not to be? That is the question", he could have just as well have written, "To identify or not identify? That is the question", for "to be" as the mind conceives of it is equivalent to actually being some identify, role, set of beliefs or story. You could also say, "To believe or not to believe? That is the question." With the sole exception of our true identify as Original Nature or True Self or Self, all the rest of these descriptors are mere conceptualizations that are being identified with, not only not true or existent, but very likely to be defeating, destructive and dangerous to a healthy vibrant life. When we follow the ego-mind acting as a false sense of self by identifying with any belief or set of beliefs, roles, stories or patterns of behavior, we usually get into trouble. The structure of this trouble is simple: there is some supposed "I" or "me," "doer" or "seeker," that thinks of itself as someone or something looking to get something or somewhere. Being preoccupied and attached to being this me feeding thoughts and chasing all forms of ego desires, particularly security, money, sex, power, fame, pride and pleasure, only results in suffering.
Is there any such I, me, doer or seeker in reality? Where is this self, mind or ego? Go ahead and let it show its face. Unless its reality in point of fact and "what is" can be firmly and decisively established, it is a hoax, ghost and phantom without existence. See for yourself if this is not the case after careful observation in your experience. No I, no stress. No I, live your own life.
This view of the causes of suffering is not new and has its roots in antiquity, particularly in the teachings of Buddha. He viewed the two general causes of suffering as unawareness or ignorance and all forms of resistance, which can accurately be called distress or simply stress. Further he saw there are only three specific causes of suffering: attachments or desires; animosity or hatreds; and closed-mindedness or self-righteousness. The super ordinate specific cause of suffering from which the other two develop out of is attachment or desires, with the lovely, ever-existent and ever-available dream of nirvana or the ceasing of desires. The point: attachment to anything, including false identities, beliefs, roles, stories or patterns of behavior, inevitably lead to suffering. In other words: to identify is to suffer; to not identify is to be free of suffering. A Zen aphorism says, "Pain is mandatory; suffering is optional."
Certainly beliefs can be most useful in surviving and thriving in the world. At the same time, given the penchant for the ego-mind to become attached to them, it is equally vital to see them only as non-existing conceptualizations that serve certain helpful purposes at times. To consciously hold beliefs very lightly in a healthy detached sort of way is the height of protecting yourself from the dysfunction and excess of the mind, while being highly practical and adaptive in this world. In other words, keeping the ego-mind's conceptual concoctions at arm's length through presence and witnessing, they can be seen for just what they are and have less of an opportunity to cause trouble to everyone.
Just how can recognition, disillusionment, disidentification and surrender be Freedom Itself?
Freedom can be seen as freedom from our ego-minds. At moments of standing in awareness and stepping back to see the workings of the mind with its preoccupation with thinking and concepts, that is, witnessing, you recognize that this cannot be who you truly are. This recognition is an act of seeing through the illusions the mind conjures and immediately provides access to a healthy disillusionment or buying out of what cannot be real and is only an illusion. Once you see the apparent oasis as in fact a mirage, it can no longer remain an oasis. This moment of realization often is not pain free for our minds. Simultaneously it is a moment of inspiration and excitement for the Self in uncovering and remembering our original sanity and Original nature, what's called our "original face" in Zen.
Once the ego-mind with all its conceptual structures is really seen and experienced for just what it is, none of which is real or true in the world, then there is a natural tendency to disidentify with them in various ways. One way is to name the ego-mind as my or your "crazy" and laugh at all its shenanigans. Another way is to speak of the mind in the third person, as in saying, "The mind got triggered and upset earlier today…" or "The ego became doubted and fearful over…" Each formulation offers a healthy distance to see the ego-mind in operation without identifying it as who you are. Still another useful strategy is to call the ego-mind out as not only not useful as a separate false sense of self, but further as what typically complicates, instigates, dramatizes and gets in the way of life flowing.
Each of these approaches among myriad others aids a remarkably healthy surrender of what does not even exist and simultaneously reveals what is already here-original sanity, nature, bliss. At this precise moment a natural relaxation usually ensues that reminds us of our earliest experiences on this planet in these bodies, when cares were essentially unknown and life was One, a mysterious miracle and an ineffable joy to experience. If this isn't the freedom to be who you truly are and offer full creative self-expression, then what is it? What is already here hiding in plain sight?

Making Friends is Easy When You Shoot At Them
This is a game simply about Shooting things. It has an Asteroids-like move style (you can go backwards!), and very simplistic visuals.
Keep in mind, this is a very early version so don't expect a very high framerate, bug-free experience, or heavy amounts of content.

The Anglo Saxon settlement of Calverton, meaning 'farm where calves are reared' was recorded in the Domesday Book as having a church and a value of £1 10s 10d. The heathland around the village provided grazing pasture for sheep and an income for the villagers.
County: Nottinghamshire
Population (2001): 6903
Traditionally sheep reared in the area had long fibred fleeces that were particularly suited for knitting. This factor probably encouraged people to take up hand knitting, and later, William Lee to invent the knitting frame.
William Lee produced his first frame in 1589 in Calverton. When he failed to secure a patent from Queen Elizabeth I Lee took his invention to France and after a period of mixed success, he died there around 1612. Lee's brother, James, brought the frames back from France and set up an initial base in London. He soon disposed of the frames and returned to Nottinghamshire. Back in Nottinghamshire James worked with Lee's assistant, Aston, to make further improvements to the frame. An industry established itself in the area using frames produced by James and Aston.
Calverton was one of the many villages that developed a community of framework knitters. Farm labourers gained an extra income by combining their work on the land with work at the knitting frame. When times were difficult in one of the two jobs, the labourer could usually rely on the second as a fallback. In the early nineteenth century the lack of work among framework knitters led to the Luddite riots that swept across Nottinghamshire and the East Midlands. In February 1812 troops were sent to maintain law and order in villages such as Calverton.
Knitting and agriculture continued to support the population of Calverton throughout the nineteenth century. Some houses were built or altered to incorporate wide windows that provided framework knitters with light to work by. Towards the end of the century the use of hand frames was in decline as factories were built to house steam-powered machinery. Framework knitters in Calverton lost orders to firms in towns and cities and some people left the village to find work. The 1851 population of 1,500 inhabitants had fallen by 1940 to 1,000.
After World War II, coalmining in the area brought people back to the village and between 1951 and 1961 the population expanded to four times its 1951 level. With the subsequent decline of the coal industry, many of the village's current residents now commute to Nottingham and local towns.

The researchers behind a new study published in the Journal of Experimental Medicine note that inhibiting an enzyme known as cyclin-dependent kinase 2 could potentially save the hearing of millions of people. Researchers suggest that the drug kenpaullone may help to prevent hearing loss. In the study, inhibiting cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2) was found to protect rodents from noise- and drug-related hearing loss by preventing the death of inner ear cells. If CDK2 inhibitors are proven to be an effective treatment for this purpose in humans, it would be very significant, as there are no…Read More

Has Marketing Automation Started Making Sense?
B2B marketing automation has a long way to go, suggest the results of a recent survey of more than 350 marketing professionals in the United States and Europe. Act-On Software commissioned Econsultancy to conduct the research for its State of B2B Marketing report released last week. Only 51 percent of respondents said the CMO or equivalent took a keen interest in marketing automation, and just 37 percent said the issue got executive support outside the marketing department. Among the other key findings: Only 27 percent of the respondents strongly agreed that marketing…Read More

Japan's northernmost island of Hokkaidō
Japan's northernmost island of Hokkaidō is best known for two things: winter sports and Sapporo beer. But the little-known eastern side of the island is a dream escape at any time of year for the adventurous visitor, whether you're into beer or not. In eastern Hokkaidō wildlife wonders abound (is that a bear snacking on freshly caught salmon?); there are lakes, sulphur-spewing volcanoes and hot springs aplenty; and there's an indigenous culture trying to reassert itself after years of decline. Plus, all this comes with very few tourists. Here are…Read More

Last year, immediately after the 45th President's inauguration January 20, 2017, people of faith in Madison, WI joined with multitudes around the country. They participated in prayer vigil events over the course of the first 100 Hours of the new presidency. They implored God to guide the new administration to "Keep Good Faith On Our Climate Commitments." Prayerful reflection and thoughtful exhortation aptly drew from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s words, life and spirit. People gathered in the shadow of his birthday and holiday as well as on the near eve of Black History Month. As then, so again now, the words offered up by Rev. Nick Utphall drew from Rev. King to speak timely truth to power and encouragement to those laboring for justice – racial, environmental, and economic. Despite disappointing progress and discouraging regress, God calls us to faithfully persevere NOW:
A lot depends on perspective in these days, and so depending on your perspective, you might find it either a fitting coincidence or grotesquely ironic that this week ending in inauguration began with the observance of Martin Luther King day.
Whether good or ill, I've been considering the Rev. King's words and example amid this moment. There are, again, things both more and less helpful.
Less helpful to me feels that grand reassurance oft repeated by Rev. King, that the arc of the moral universe is long but that it bends toward justice. Overall, I have that hope in God's blessing and promise. Yet we're gathered in vigils around the country in these days particularly recognizing that we don't have time for a long arc. We can't wait for eventuality. The fate of so much well-being on our planet—on lives already as well as generations to come and the very shape of creation's community as we know it—direly is demanding our concern.
On that note, Rev. King also impatiently resisted those who asked him to wait for more favorable conditions. He witnessed such revolutionary times where people all over the globe "are revolting against old systems of exploitation and oppression." Almost 50 years ago he gave a famous speech explaining the challenge that resisting
racism connected to resisting war. Or—in others of his famous phrases—that injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere and that we are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality.
We see today a similar expanse of overlapping categories and the calling to a common cause. Climate change is about saving polar bears from extinction, but climate change is also about native communities in Alaska melting through the permafrost. And climate change is about refugees and low-lying cities that are already facing expensive emergencies, and climate change is about women's rights as villagers have to walk farther and farther for water, and climate change is about rural lives, as agriculture in Wisconsin will be battling more and more pests, and climate change is about health care facing pandemics for the poor and elderly, and climate change is about recreation and tourism, and avoidably about the Department of Natural Resources and the Public Service Commission (and their websites) and climate change is about politics and is about the economy, both tied together in the shameless greed of fossil fuel companies trying to profit in the face of impending disaster. Climate change is about the fullness of who we are, which also means climate change is about religion, is about God, about the faith we practice, about our sin and our hope, is about the deepest of our beliefs and corest of our commitments.
I'll conclude with words Rev. King delivered those 50 years ago which speak for us here, now, and invite our ongoing devotion: We are confronted with the fierce urgency of now. [he said]… Now let us begin. Now let us rededicate ourselves to the long and bitter, but beautiful, struggle for a new world. This is the calling of the sons [and daughters] of God, and our brothers [and sisters] wait eagerly for our response. … [W]hatever the cost … and though we might prefer it otherwise, we must [act] in this crucial moment of human [and non-human!] history.
-Reflection for Vigil of First 100 Hours of a New Presidency on Climate Change, originally presented at The Crossing, Madison, WI January 20, 2017 by Rev. Nick Utphall, Pastor, Advent Lutheran Church, Madison, WI.
