Modern design and a lack of love dilettantism. Looking for such designers, which all use a little beauty and no matter how much they looked around either; which you always want to do something else. Designers do not only image-makers, but also dreamers who tell stories and think. For me, all the things a good story is more important than its form.
The designer must be an interpreter, and real and virtual needs must anticipate those questions of people that they do not think, and suddenly opened in the already created objects.
For me, the design — it is the quality of life. Good design has little to do with trends. Tired of listening to how he try to give the status of a frivolous fashion phenomenon. In my opinion, the designer should strive to do more than separate things.
— Antonio Citterio
Minimalism has reached a certain critical point, the top. Where to go? I do not know. The main thing for the designer — to create things that are pleasing to him, the work brings satisfaction, and cooperation with the customer — satisfaction. We need to understand what the customer wants, and to connect it with your wishes and possibilities. To create something outstanding, we need the enthusiasm of both. I am a very happy person, because I worked with wonderful customers who have helped me very.
- Design — is not how the object looks, but how it works.
- Good design — is innovative.
- A good design — is as little design as possible.
- Good design — aesthetic.
Think about the content that you want to invest in a created object, and only then will form. The thing is your spirit. A spirit unlike forms hard copy.
Simple gallery
I want to create beautiful things, even if it's not necessary for anyone, as a fight against ugly things. This is my intention.
Fast, cheap and good — from these three things you should always choose two. If it's fast and cheap, it will never be good. If it's cheap and good, it will never work out quickly. And if it is good and fast, it will never come cheap. But remember: of the three you still have to always choose two.

Dioscorus of Alexandria
Dioscorus I of Alexandria was the Patriarch of Alexandria from 444 to 451. His actions during the continuation of the Christological controversies following the deposition of Nestorius resulted in his deposition at the Fourth Ecumenical Council in Chalcedon in 451 which led to the later schism in the Church of Alexandria.
Dioscorus I of Alexandria is considered a saint by the Coptic, Syriac, and other Oriental Orthodox churches. He is generally considered a heretic by the Eastern Orthodox, though some commentators like Anatolius and John S. Romanides think that Dioscorus was deposed at Chalcedon in 451 not because of the faith, but for his grave administrative errors at the Robber Council of Ephesus (449), which included restoring Eutyches the heretic and the attack on Flavian, and because he (Dioscorus) had excommunicated Pope Leo I of Rome, and also because at Chalcedon he refused to appear in front of the Council although he was summoned to it three times.[1]
His character and stance are subject to contravention between the Oriental Orthodox churches on one side and the Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic churches on the other.
The Oriental Orthodox churches are generally accused by other churches of accepting the Eutychian doctrine of Monophysitism—this is denied by these churches as they consider Eutyches a heretic as the other churches but to have redeemed himself by retrieving this heresy in the Second Council of Ephesus,[2] but figures large in the differences between those churches and most other populous Christian churches, as well as in the civil strife and friction of the era and afterwards within the Eastern Roman Empire.
Hence, in the mess typical of schisms, according to mainstream Christian sects, he was merely a Patriarch of Alexandria turned heretic, who in a preemptive power-play characteristic of megalomania attempted to excommunicate many other influential bishops in opposition to his belief in Monophysitism, including Leo.
He was subsequently excommunicated by Leo, most likely in very early 450 during the aftermath of the controversial Second Council of Ephesus, which he was charged by the Emperor to preside over with the concurrence of Leo.
It was supposed to be the fourth ecumenical council and can only be described as in effect and bizarre in it's rubber stamping character wherein giants of the orthodox sects were slain in absentia by excommunication and which findings were all subsequently negated and annulled by Leo as well as the succeeding ecumenical council in 451, the Council of Chalcedon (Widely accepted as the Fourth Ecumenical Council, by most mainstream Christian Churches. In contrast, the Oriental Orthodox Churches listed above accept the Second Council of Ephesus as canonical, and do not accept the Council of Chalcedon, nor the Chalcedonian Creed.)
The other person involved in this controversy apart from Dioscorus is Leo with each side considering the other person a heretic. The main factors behind this are still present and it is subject to discussion between the churches.[3]
In recent research it was suggested that both Leo and Dioscoros are Orthodox because they agree with St.Cyril of Alexandria, especially with his Twelve Chapters, even though both had been considered heretical by the other side [4].
In May 1973 After fifteen centuries, Pope Shenouda III (Gayyid) of Alexandria visited Pope Paul VI of Rome and declared a common faith in the nature of Christ, the issue which caused the schism of the church in the Council of Chalcedon.[5] However, this is disputed, due to the fact that the main leaders of the Non-Chalcedonian schism specifically condemned St. Cyril's agreements with St. John of Antioch. For example, Timothy Aelurus (Dioscorus' disciple and successor, wrote: "Cyril... having excellently articulated the wise proclamation of Orthodoxy, showed himself to be fickle and is to be censured for teaching contrary doctrine: after previously proposing that we should speak of one nature of God the Word, he destroyed the dogma that he had formulated and is caught professing two Natures of Christ."[6]
A similar declaration was reached between the Oriental Orthodoxy churches and the Eastern Orthodoxy churches in the 1990s. In the summer of 2001, the Coptic Orthodox and Greek Orthodox Patriarchates of Alexandria agreed to mutually recognize baptisms performed in each other's churches[7].
Early life
Before being a Pope Dioscorus served as the dean of the Catechetical School of Alexandria, and was the personal secretary of Saint Cyril the Great, Patriarch of Alexandria, whom he accompanied to the Third Ecumenical Council held at Ephesus.
Eutyches and Nestorius
In his struggle against Nestorius, St. Cyril explained the union between the two natures of Christ (His Divinity and His Humanity) as "inward and real without any division, change, or confusion." He rejected the Antiochian theory of "indwelling," or "conjunction," or "close participation" as insufficient to reveal the real unification. He charged that their theory permitted the division of the two hypostasis of Christ just as Nestorius taught.
Thus the traditional Orthodox formula adopted by Cyril and Dioscorus was "one incarnate nature" which translated in Greek to mia-physis and not mono-physis. They meant by mia: one; not "single one", but "unity one"; "out of two natures"; as Dioscorus stated. He insisted on "the one nature" of Christ to assert Christ's oneness, as a tool to defend the Church's faith against Nestorianism. Thus Christ is at once God and man.
On the other hand the Antiochian formula was "two natures after the union" which is translated to dio physis. This formula explained Christ as two natures; Son of God, and Son of Man, and that God did not suffer nor did He die.
St. Cyril himself accepted the Antiochian formula, in his agreements with St. John of Antioch:
- "With regard to the Evangelical and Apostolic expressions concerning the Lord, we know that men who are skilled in theology make some of them common to the one Person, while they divide others between the two Natures, ascribing those that are fitting to God to Divinity of Christ, and those that are lowly to His Humanity. On reading these sacred utterances of Yours, and finding that we ourselves think along the same lines—for there is one Lord, one Faith, one Baptism—we glorified God the Saviour of all"[8]
A struggle occurred between Eutyches and Theodoret. Eutyches was an archimandrite of a monastery in Constantinople. He defended the formula "one nature" against that of "two natures." He concluded that the Godhead absorbed the manhood of Christ. Theodoret accused Eutyches and Cyril, and published a long attack on them. The council of Constantinople was held in 448, and Eutyches was condemned and exiled.
Leo originally wrote to Eutyches praising his zeal in opposing the Nestorian dualism. But he later changed his mind; perhaps when he heard that the emperor wrote to Dioscorus calling him to a council to be held to discuss that matter. Leo, who was not part of the conflict between the Alexandrian and the Antiochian Christology, sent his famous Tome (letter) to Constantinople -- not to work for reconciliation of the parties, but to defame the Alexandrian theologians.
Second Council of Ephesus
Then Emperor Theodosius II convened the Second Council of Ephesus (called the "Robber Synod") in 449 and asked Dioscorus to exercise supreme authority over it as president. Eutyches was rehabilitated because he offered to repent and also because Leo wrote to Flavian saying that he should be kind to him, and to accept him if he repented.
Council of Chalcedon
Then on July 28, 450, Emperor Theodosius died and his sister Pulcheria and her consort Marcian were declared emperors. Pulcheria supported Rome against Alexandria. She gathered signatures for the "Tome" of Leo to be introduced as the basic paper for a new council to be held at Chalcedon. At the same time, she decided not to let Rome hold supreme authority in the church. She refused Leo's demand to hold the council in Italy, but insisted that it would be held in the East. Although the council of Chalcedon is believed to have condemned Eutyches, the man with whom it really dealt was Dioscorus, for Eutyches was already in North Syria, where he had been exiled before the council met.
During the council, Dioscorus explained why they should retain the formula "one incarnate nature of God the Word" (a formula which had already been vindicated and defined at the First Council of Ephesus). On hearing "one nature," some bishops in the council shouted, "Eutyches says these things also." Here Dioscorus clarified the Alexandrian view, saying, "We do not speak of confusion, neither of division, nor of change." Dioscorus tried to make his position clear: that he did not accept "two natures after the union," but he had no objection to "from two natures after the union."
When the judges started the order of the acts of the Council, Paschasinus, the Roman delegate, said, "We have orders from Rome that Dioscorus should not have a place in this council. If this is violated he should be cast out." When the judges asked about what Dioscorus did, the Roman delegate replied, "He has dared to conduct a council without the authorization of the apostolic see in Rome, a thing which has never happened and which ought not to have happened."
It was the emperor's favor that the council had to draw out Alexandria and declare a new formula to bring the entire Church in the east under the leadership of Constantinople. They used Leo as a tool to accomplish their objective through his enmity to Alexandria, looking upon it as an obstacle in realizing his papal authority on the Church over the world.
The verdict of the commissioners was announced: Dioscorus of Alexandria, Juvenal of Jerusalem, Thalassius of Caesarea, Eusebius of Ancyra, Eutathius of Berytus, and Basil of Seleucia—these were the men who had been responsible for the decisions of the second council of Ephesus, and should as such all be deposed. Thus the Patriarch of Alexandria was exiled to Gangra Island. In fact, Dioscorus was not condemned by name at Chalcedon because of his theological heresy, but specifically due to his canonical violations at the Robber Synod of Ephesus.
New formula of faith
Under strong pressure, the bishops of the council accepted a new formula of faith, so that Alexandria would not acquire theological precedence. Yet when the delegates attempted to impose the papal authority upon the universal church, silence turned into revolt. Leo announced, in his repeatedly angry letters, his resistance to the council because it regarded Rome and Constantinople as equal.
Exile of Dioscorus
After those incidents, a messenger from Constantinople arrived in Alexandria announcing the exile of the Patriarch Dioscorus, and the appointment of an Alexandrian priest named Proterius as an imperial, i.e., alien/foreign/non-Egyptian, patriarch over Alexandria, with the approval of the emperor. He threatened whoever dared to show disobedience. The Melkite patriarch who was appointed by the emperor became surrounded by soldiers willing to punish those who might resist the imperial command.
In the year 457 Patriarch Dioscorus died in exile, and when the Copts heard that, they met with the clergymen and elected Timothy, the disciple of Dioscorus, to be the new Patriarch. This became a regular practice of the Coptic Church, who have not been reconciled to the Orthodox Patriarchates to this day.

A Perfect Finish
The final step for any replacement window, door, or siding project is a professional installation. Much like selecting the right style and color, skilled installation is vital to the overall success of the job. In particular, the ease of use and energy efficiency of our products is dependent on the sophisticated and careful work of our craftsmen.
Installation of replacement doors, windows, shutters, and vinyl siding is not for the casual handyman. These large-scale projects require the tools, skills, precision, and training that only come with an experienced home improvement specialist. Windows and doors must be installed so that they float perfectly in their openings; weight dispersion is crucial, as a poor fit allows air and water infiltration.
At Window World, we use only superior professionals to install our products. Our installers are courteous and diligent, treating each home with respect, and adhering to strict standards of work. They install our products with care, leave each job site clean, demonstrate the operation of new products, and thoroughly answer every question.
We know our continued success is predicated on the professional installation of our products and our customer service excellence. From start to finish, each job is performed with the patience and expertise our customers deserve.
Lead Safe Installation
Our customers' safety is our biggest priority. In accordance with the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Renovation Repair and Painting (RRP) Rule, we use lead-safe work practices on jobs where lead paint may be or have been problematic. On a lead job, we take special precautions to contain and safely dispose of any dust created during the installation process. In so doing, we keep any potentially hazardous lead particles from making their way into the open, protecting our customers and the environment.
For more information on lead-safe work practices, please review the lead section of the EPA website.
Cold Weather Installation
Many homeowners ask about the feasibility of replacing their windows during cold weather. Our one-for-one installation method ensures the least possible heat loss in even the coldest of conditions. Further, waiting a full winter season to replace windows leaves your home at the mercy of the elements. To provide our customers year-round energy efficiency, we install in every season.

KSport Kontrol Pro Fully Adjustable Coilover Kits provide the ultimate in suspension technology for your vehicle, both on the street or at the track. 36 levels of damping adjustment allow fine tuning of the damper to suit both handling and comfort needs. The damping adjustment alters compression and rebound simultaneously, for more effective and user-friendly setup changes.
Pillow ball top mounts in the front and rear on some applications allow the vehicle to install and setup to OEM specifications. Ksport's patented upper pillow ball mount offers the same level of adjustability and performance, but allows for compliance that is often required from high-demand strut applications.
On applicable models, the pillowball upper mounts offer camber adjustment, saving the need for a special, separate camber kit. For enthusiasts seeking the ultimate in adjustability, Ksport's advanced upper pillow ball mount is available on some applications, giving the option for separate camber and caster adjustment.
Most applications utilize an adjustable lower mount, which means height adjustability without losing suspension travel—a problem found in many coilover systems available today. Since mounts and most pieces in the coilover system are designed from 6061 billet aluminum, the components are lightweight, durable, and rust resistant. Steel shock bodies are electroplated with zinc to resist rust and protect from the elements. The shock or strut valving for each piece is matched accordingly to the spring rate, giving superior ride quality and reliability.
The Ksport system uses a monotube design in which the oil and gas are separated within the cylinder. When compared to twin tube construction, the monotube design dissipates heat faster and more evenly, allows finer damping adjustments, and requires more expensive design process. Aeration and cavitation issues are a lot less common in a monotube design, which results in a more consistent ride quality.
The Ksport Kontrol Pro Coilover system has been designed with professional road racing in mind, offering extremely high value and performance for any application.

Selling a distressed property in Eastern can feel like a challenge. How much should you spend fixing it? What's is it really worth? Properties like this aren't usually found on the MLS and are often avoided by many agents. This is simply because there isn't a high market for homes like this. An investor will have to do the work before seeing the results. However, selling a distressed house can be very doable if you follow our tips below. Learn more about the easy way to sell now!
Tip #1 – Appeal To The Right Buyers
Not every buyer is looking for a distressed home. In fact, very few will be open to the idea. Think of who your potential buyers might be. Most likely it will be an investor or house flipper. You might find someone looking a fixer-upper themselves, but you can't expect to get the same response as you would with a turn-key home. When selling a distressed property in Eastern make sure you are getting it in front of the right people.
Tip #2 – Sell The House For Cash
Many people don't know how easy selling a home can be. There are investors and home buying companies eager to purchase your fixer-upper home. This is an extremely beneficial alternative to a traditional listing. One thing to watch out for are inexperienced and unethical buyers. Make sure you are dealing with a reputable company such as Homebuyers of NC. We make things straightforward, simple and transparent from start to finish. A good homebuyer will never pressure you to sell. Rather we will work together to find a solution that works for you!
Tip #3 – Don't Over Spend On Repairs
So many people will spend money on repairs, only to set off a chain reaction of costs. Many times, people will repair the house as if they are going to continue living there. While fixing the house up can have a positive effect on your final sale price, now is not the time to spend your money on big-ticket items. They say kitchens and bathrooms sell homes. Try to make inexpensive improvements to these areas that won't cost an arm and a leg. If there are repairs needed that can be fixed at a reasonable price, it might help you to attract more buyers. However, you can't always expect to see a dollar for dollar return on your investments.
Tip #4 – Have Everything in Writing
A distressed house will often require many repairs be made. Make sure you have a detailed contract with the buyer, clearing yourself from all repairs that come up down the road. Set the terms of the deal and be as detailed as possible. You don't want a buyer to come back after the sale attempting to collect money for an unexpected repair. When you sell directly to Homebuyers of NC we buy as-is, fully taking ownership of the house and repairs within.
Tip #5 – Show The Potential
When showing the home to potential buyers, help them imagine what the home could be. You could opt to work with an interior designer or carpenter to help create renderings of what the house would look like after improvements. Add some comforts of home such as lawn chairs in the yard or fresh fruit on the table. It might seem strange in a run-down house, but it will serve as a subtle reminder that this could be an amazing house for the right person.
Tip #6 – Accentuate the Positive
Have a great view? Showcase the window to accentuate it. Play up and great features the house has so people are able to see beyond the chipped paint and soiled carpets. Instead, direct their attention to the fireplace by adding some flowers on the mantle, or show just how great the location is by creating maps of the area, featuring different attractions and restaurants.
Tip #7 – Price to Sell
You need to be realistic with your price if you are selling a distressed property in Eastern. Many times sellers will have an inflated price in there head because they believe the property to be worth more than what people are willing to pay. Take a look at what other similar properties are selling for and price the house accordingly.
Tip #8 – Offer A Credit
Including an incentive will capture the attention of many buyers you might not have otherwise. The idea of a fixer-upper seems a lot sweeter if the new owners have some capital to make improvements their way. You can sell people on the idea that they will have the power to fix up the house for themselves however they want. Being able to choose cabinetry, bathroom fixtures and so on can be very appealing to potential buyers.

Model SDFWinner of the best new freshwater reel at the 2017 ICAST/IFTD show, the SDF comes on the heels of our move to Colorado: the trout-based surroundings inspired us to take it up a notch.Based on the SDS (Sealed Drag Salt), the SDF (Sealed Drag Fresh) is a scaled-down version of the award-winning saltwater titan featuring similar porting and a stainless steel/carbon fluoropolymer drag system. The SDF boasts an enormous amount of drag, an adjustment range almost three times greater than its predecessor, and virtually zero start up inertia.We took what was learned from our SDS design, made sure to include the unmistakable Abel fit and finish, and created the best freshwater reel we have ever seen.Retail: $695 | TU Price: $406 Super SeriesAvailable since 1999 in a size for every fish that swims, the Abel Super Series has proven itself time after time as the premier American-made reel. While there has been various improvements and adjustments over the years, there are things that have never changed. Specifically, a super-smooth, infinitely adjustable cork drag system married to a strong aluminum frame & large arbor spool for increased line retrieval speed.For 2017 we have redesigned the original Super Series reel with an all new line of lighter weight sizes that feature a quick change spool system achieved by eliminating the previously removable locknut and drag knob.The proven drag system is what makes the Super Series equally at home on the trout stream, the salt flats, and demanding deep blue water: It can be set light enough to protect the finest tippet, but can also be cranked to slow down the toughest Bluefin. No matter what species you prefer to chase, a Super Series reel is there to help you land it!Retail: $595 | TU Price: $321 Model SDSWinner of the best new saltwater reel at the 2016 ICAST/IFTD show, the Abel SDS (Sealed Drag Salt) takes all the power, reliability, and smoothness of its smaller counterpart and combines them in a larger package capable of taking on saltwater gamefish of all sizes.

Over 1,400 geographical indications are registered in Europe, but just four come from the Balkans and Turkey. Why? And, more importantly, are these four products all that the Balkans and Turkey have to offer in terms of local, artisanal foods?
The socialist legacy is not enough of an explanation to justify such a disheartening picture, especially as just a little further north, former Communist countries like Poland and the Czech Republic are obtaining much better results (with 37 and 36 products respectively). Neither would it be correct to think that there is little food biodiversity in the Balkans: Greece alone is home to more than 100 of those 1,400 products.
Traditional, artisanal foods and small-scale farmers have long been ignored by the political agenda in the Balkans and Turkey. But these foods could support many rural communities in the region and contribute to a significant increase in social and economic capital for small-scale farmers and producers. Thanks to the EU-funded ESSEDRA project, we have finally been able to start influencing the legislation and political processes that are currently limiting small-scale farmers' access to the market. The project also makes it possible to work out which food products must be saved so that they can become the driving forces behind sustainable development in rural communities.
This summer, our partners worked on a major research project, seeking out gastronomic treasures at risk of extinction, based on the criteria set out by the Ark of Taste. In just a few months they managed to identify 108 foods, concrete proof of just how much untapped potential the region holds.
A third of the products identified during the field research are of animal origin: from the many types of cheeses aged in animal skins (usually sheepskin, and known as tulum in Turkey) to Bulgarian salame from the Strandzha mountain, from Romanian sloi (preserved lamb) to the Serbian hams from the Banat region. The majority of these products face similar problems, as small-scale producers seek to conform to food safety and hygiene regulations. EU member states and candidate countries often apply EU rules without appropriate exceptions or adaptations for small-scale businesses. The relevant authorities find it easier to visit a few industrial production sites with ISO 9000 certification instead of trying to understand how to safeguard a gastronomic heritage made of non-standardized traditions and ancient techniques.
However, these products are not just in danger because of regulations. Even though traditional varieties and breeds reflect local culture and knowledge, and centuries of adaptation to the environment; when no added value is accorded to them, new versions are easily introduced. This was the case with the Busha, a native cattle breed, once commonly farmed throughout the Balkans and prized for its hardiness and ability to adapt to tough conditions. Now, however, the Busha only survives in small herds raised by tenacious farmers in remote areas of Herzegovina and Stara Planina.
Often, the producers themselves adopt new varieties because they do not value their own experience and tradition. The lencho white bean (Bulgaria), Bukovo paprika (Macedonia) and osmak white corn (Serbia) all lack adequate promotion and protection, partly because of the low esteem in which the rural communities hold themselves and their resources. Seeking out local food products at risk of extinction is not enough to ensure the survival of these traditions, or their contribution to the sustainable development of rural areas. But it is the first step towards demanding that local and national policy-makers safeguard and promote these hidden treasures, which could boost sustainable rural development and facilitate consumers' access to good, clean and fair food. And it is also a question of pride: The Balkans must take their rightful place within the gastronomic (and cultural) map of Europe.

What is a Property Appraiser?
Property appraisers are generally referred to as Real Estate Appraisers. This is a category of real estate professional that determines the value of real estate. This is a heavily-regulated industry, with oversight at both the state and federal level.
Different Types of Property Appraisers
Three types of appraisers are recognized:
General appraisers can appraise any and all types of property, and are most likely to work on commercial valuations. property appraiser in Ardmore, OK. property appraiser in Ardmore, OK. Licensed appraisers have the lowest-level licensing status and have less formal training than either General or Certified Residential appraisers. Licensed appraisers have more restrictions on the types of property they can value, and fewer and fewer lenders will engage appraisers at this licensing level for service.
The typical appraiser engaged by a lender to value property for a real estate transaction is Certified Residential.
Appraiser Licensing
Real Estate Appraisers are licensed by individual states, with federal oversight by the Appraisal Subcommittee (ASC). Eligible appraisers are listed on the National Registry which is a database maintained by the Appraiser Qualifications Board (AQB) containing the names and licensing status of State Licensed, State Certified Residential and State Certified General Appraisers who are eligible to perform appraisals in connection with federally-related transactions.
In order to become a licensed property appraiser, individuals must meet a strict set of criteria which includes classroom education and on-the-job training as a trainee.
Appraiser Training
Before a trainee can be sponsored by a more experienced appraiser, he or she needs to first complete classroom-based training (or online training) that covers:
In addition to classroom-based training, new appraisers are trained in the field by more experienced appraisers that hold a licensing level of Certified Residential or General.
In-the-field training of 2000 hours over 12 or more months is required before being licensed. In-the-field training of 2500 hours over 24 or more months is required before becoming a Certified Residential Appraiser.
Once the training has been completed, the applicant must sit for a long and comprehensive exam as well as undergo an oral exam. Each state maintains a website with information about licensing requirements, training requirements and exam information.
In-the-field Training
Appraiser trainees go out in the field with their sponsors. This means they visit property to be valued and perform certain tasks, including:
In-the-office Training
In addition to going out to visit individual properties, appraiser trainees perform additional tasks to assist their sponsor (supervising appraiser) with valuing property:
Why So Much Work?
Property appraisers go through a lot of training to make sure that when they become licensed, they have the knowledge and skills to properly evaluate the value of real estate.

In Philadelphia in 1972, an immigrant couple of Kalmyk origin gave birth to a boy they named Erdne. A few years later, the Dalai Lama renamed him Telo Tulku Rinpoche and identified him as one in a long line of reincarnations of an ancient Buddhist saint. The boy was then taken to a monastery in the mountains of southern India to learn the teachings of the Buddha.
Telo Rinpoche was one of the first of his kind: someone from the West learning thousand-year-old traditions a world away from his family.
His story, and those of others like him, is chronicled by journalist Tim McGirk in this month's issue of The Believer.
In part because of the Dalai Lama's exile from Tibet in 1959, an increasing number of rinpoches — the name given to all reincarnated Buddhist high lamas — are born in the West, or exposed to Western culture. And while the West embraces Tibetan Buddhism, young lamas are renouncing their monkhood.
The Dalai Lama sent a 19-year-old Telo Rinpoche to Kalmykia, a Buddhist region of Russia on the Caspian Sea. It was the region from which the young man's parents had emigrated about a half-century earlier. The Buddhist faith and its temples had been nearly destroyed during the Soviet era.
"The people around you grew up in an atheist society," Telo Rinpoche says. "They believed that religion was poison."
He was charged with leading the people there back to Buddhism, a responsibility he called a tremendous pressure.
"I think my emotions really took over, and I became frustrated, and I just got up and left," he recalls.
Telo Rinpoche cannot go back to monkhood. But after he left his post, he met with the Dalai Lama, who encouraged him to continue his work in Kalmykia.
Telo Rinpoche now spends half his life in Erie, Colo., with his wife and their son. The rest of the time is spent in Kalmykia, where he has worked for two decades to re-establish Buddhism.
McGirk, the author of the article in The Believer, tells Jacki Lyden, host of weekends on All Things Considered, that when rinpoches were forced out of the monasteries in Tibet after the Dalai Lama's exile in 1959, "suddenly they were much more vulnerable to the temptations of, to the desires, to the delights of the 21st century."
Many young monks were dispatched across the globe, taken out of isolated mountain monasteries, to spread the teachings of the Buddha. So, for some, "all the years of meditation and training, well, all of that fell away."
McGirk says all hope is not lost, though.
"I think that for a religion to renew itself, it has to be, kind of, more in contact with the changing times," he says.
Just because the rinpoches have left monkhood, they haven't left Buddhism. McGirk sees them continuing their teachings, but in unconventional ways.

People Often Ask…
Whether you are a renter who is leasing a house or apartment or a landlord who rents out real estate, there are a variety of reasons that you may need legal advice. A landlord/tenant attorney can help you analyze your situation, determine what your rights are, and make a well-informed decision about how to protect your interests.
We've created a list of trusted Brandon landlord/tenant attorneys to help you find a lawyer who is the best fit for your situation.
Legal issues related to real estate and the landlord/tenant relationship come in a variety of forms. In Mississippi, these often include:
- Landlord/tenant disputes, such as those related to rental rates, late or unpaid rent, security deposits, disagreements about the habitability of rental property, and other tenant rights and landlord rights issues.
- Eviction, either seeking to evict a tenant or helping a tenant fight eviction and stay in their home (especially during times where additional tenants' rights/renters' rights are in effect, such as the COVID-19/coronavirus pandemic).
- Rental agreements and lease agreements, including initial drafting and review of rental contracts, updates to the terms of the lease, and other contract-related matters.
- Discrimination claims, including those related to housing discrimination on the basis of race, national origin, sex, religion, disability or other classification protected under the federal Fair Housing Act or other Mississippi laws or local ordinances.
- Commercial real estate matters, from negotiating an initial commercial lease to litigating business disputes related to the lease or other issues.
- Personal injury claims, if a property is not kept safe and in proper repair and someone is injured as a result.
- Addressing tangential issues for landlords, including business law and estate planning-related issues such as business succession planning, and protection of rental property assets in a divorce or other family law matter.
Contact the law firms listed here to discuss your landlord/tenant matters or any other legal issues that you are facing.
Here are a few questions that you can ask a landlord and tenant lawyer to help you determine whether you would like them to represent you:
- How many years of experience do you have?
- How many landlord/tenant cases have you handled?
- Do you represent landlords, tenants, or both?
- Where is your office in Brandon located?
- Do you offer a free consultation? What are the fees and costs for your legal services?
- What are the next steps and what should I do?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.

If you don't, be sure to stop by my house because we have more than we can wrap our stomachs around. Part of it is my fault, part is due to this month Daring Bakers challenge. Our mission given by Jenny and Freya was to make Real Honest Jewish Purist's Bagels. They were honestly good and since I made mini ones, twice, I ended up with a bunch…
Funny thing is that I had never had a bagel prior to moving to the US. I am sure you can find them in France but my catholic provencal background probably shunned me from knowing this delicacy. I made up for lost time, believe me! I love how versatile they are. We eat ours with sweet spread sor breakfast, pile halves with pizza topping, or use mini ones with snoked slamon and mascarpone for little munchies with friends. I like having a bagel around the house even if I won't eat all of it…it's bumpy smooth belly brings me comfort…I know I am weird…but if you know me you kow I am also the one who makes bread like crazy just for the smell and feel of it, even if I don't eat that much.
Toppings (I had 32 mini ones and free time so I played around), left to right, back to front:
Herbes de Provence, poppy seeds, bacon, sesame seeds, fennel seeds, caraway seeds, coarse demerara sugar, cheddar cheese and maldon sea salt.
Our challenge was to follow it without changes so we could all compare notes. Seems like we all pretty much experienced the same things. For more reports, you can click on the side bar blog roll for Daring Bakers. All this to say that I had a blast making these and would make them again. Actually I did make them twice, just to see if the recipe would end up differently if halved. A few observations to keep in mind if you decide to try them: the dough was wickedly rising fast and high. Kneading does not take that long, about 8-10 minutes but do not skip this step. It's good for the nerves and it really helps the texture of your bagels in the end. When the time comes to shape your bagel, divide the dough in half and refrigerate the batch that you are not working on. The recipe mentionned that the bagels would sink to the bottom of the pot and then rise and float in the water. My first batch yielded about 32 mini ones, and only 10 sank, the rest nagged me by floating their little merry way … Floaters or sinkers, they still tasted the same. I used all of the flour measurement, kneaded appropriately, respected rising times and still floaters. Same issue when I made them again a couple of weeks later and halved the recipe. I decided to go for the poke method to form them, and I had to push a rather large hole in the middle as the bagels had a tendency to swallow it back up upon their rising before their little trip in the water.
Thanks Jenny and Freya for a fun challenge. I will keep the recipe and make it again with some tweaking….I still want to make my bagels sink!
Since we eat them mostly at breakfast and since we are a mostly sweet household, these are some of the spreads we have with our bagels: mirabelles jam (yellow plums), cherry preserves, coconut honey and wildflower honey. Since I have so many bagels, I have been using them for mini sandwishes also with a spread of chive cream cheese, sprouts and some turkey slices.

Put heavier items on the bottom. Put lighter items to the top. Don't crush the bread. Don't break the eggs.
Many of us are at least vaguely aware of these principles, but could use a go-to, step-by-step routine.
Whether you're a long-time toter of reusable bags, or a beginner looking to give it a try. You likely never had any instructions on packing bags efficiently. Use these tips to make the most of your bag space, speed yo your checkout time and arrive home with your groceries intact.
Put lighter, taller items like cereal boxes around the perimeter of the cans
Remember, not everything has to go in the grocery bags. Items that already have handles, like milk jugs, can be easier to carry without a bag. Large bags of dog food, soda fridge packs and jumbo cases of toilet paper can also be easier to carry separately, especially with adhesive carry handles.
Plastic grocery bags are still being sold but at a very small cost to you. In the even that you do forget your bag, don't hesitate to purchase a bag and you can even reuse your plastic bags!

Brochure advertising Japanese 1996 Master Sound Series
"The best Miles Davis book ever." Randy Hall, singer/guitarist/producer, who worked with Miles in the 1980s
"An important book." Brian Priestley, co-author of 'The Rough Guide to Jazz', jazz pianist, critic and reviewer
"Very moving, emotional material." Gordon Meltzer, Miles's last road manager and executive producer of the 'Doo-Bop' album
"George Cole's writing, his choice of references, his descriptions of many incidents – it is all so clear and respectful, and shows a deep understanding." Palle Mikkelborg, composer, arranger and producer of the 'Aura' album
"Wow! What a great book. Finally, something that really gets it right. Thank you for capturing what was going on, the mood, everything." Adam Holzman, Miles's keyboardist and musical director 1985-1989
"Wonderful job, congratulations! An immense amount of work must have gone into it, I can't even imagine. But it was very cool to see that era of Miles treated with the same respect as every other… someone gets it!" Benny Rietveld, Miles's bassist 1988-1990
"The book is wonderful. Congratulations for your very important contribution to the historical documentation of many [musicians] who would otherwise have been overlooked!!!!" Robert Irving III Miles's musical director 1983-1988
"I have to say that you did a marvellous job! It brought back strong memories of that time periodand answered a number of questions I had, especially the chapter on the Rubberband sessions. A brilliant job!" Patrick Murray, who worked on the road with Miles from 1986-1990 and was Miles's concert sound mixer from 1988-1990
"It is truly an excellent body of work that literally takes a reader from hearing rumours to realising truths about the Chicago group and our collective take on the Miles Davis comeback." Glenn Burris, co-writer of "Shout"
"The most immediate impact that this book had on me was to make me listen again to Miles' later recordings with a completely regenerated ear and this really is the reason why this book works so well and is an essential read for any true Miles Davis appreciator… you will be hard pressed to find a more inspirational read, written by a man who quite simply loves Miles Davis' music." Mike Chadwick, Ejazz.fm
"There are large chunks of fresh material here… Fill[s] in quite a few gaps and dismisses blanket condemnations of [Miles's] pop phase." Stephen Graham, Jazzwise
"Cole does for Miles' late work what Ian Macdonald's 'Revolution In The Head' does for The Beatles, examining each album in meticulous detail." John Lewis, Time Out
"Cole's analysis has a meticulous, forensic character… [and] is able to bring a wealth of new information to light…. This book should get people talking. It should be the first rather than the last word on an intriguing chapter of the life an extraordinarily complex artist. And Davis's vanity would surely have loved that." Kevin Le Gendre, Independent on Sunday
"The book is beautiful. I think you did a great job on covering Miles's life and legacy." Sid Reynolds, hip-hop producer
"GREATFUCKINJOBWITDABOOK" Foley, Miles's lead bassist 1987-1991
"Cole's certainly produced a fascinating book." Chris Ingham, Mojo
"As with any good musical biography, Cole had made me think again about those albums such as Siesta, You're Under Arrest, The Man with the Horn, that are now stashed in my attic." John Bungey, The Times
"I thought it was wonderful. It's a very detailed look at a certain part of the career and life of Miles Davis. A lot of people didn't pay attention to this and I'm glad that George Cole took the time to focus on these final years of Miles's life." Easy Mo Bee, co-producer of Doo-Bop
"Many people have come to me in the past about how the "last miles" bands had been overlooked and ignored by journalists. This book is a comprehensive answer to these omissions. From my discussions with musicians from the latter years with Miles it seems pretty clear they feel some vindication as a result of this book. I thank you sincerely for telling our story. Most everything I have read is as close to my memory of how things happened as any book could hope to be. I think you've done a wonderful job." Darryl Jones, bassist with Miles 1983-85, 1986-1988
"The title is likely to send most jazzbos running, with received wisdom having handed down the rule that in the 80's Miles was only good for playing live; and half of that was just the pleasure of seeing him in person. For a single man to take on the 400-page+ task of changing popular opinion is a very tall order indeed. For him to make you want to actively revisit the decade in question is a near-miracle. Detailing album histories and giving final verdicts, Cole has made every effort to lay the evidence out bare. The analysis could have been a chore were it not for the presence of first-hand interviews with all the major players, making this not just a scholarly study, but a tribute to the man himself, And for a book such as this, you learn more about Davis that could have been expected." Jason Draper, Record Collector
"There simply hasn't been another book published on Miles Davis, in any period that has managed to obtain the wealth of interview material and cover his recorded work and various live tours in such a complete and comprehensive fashion… Engagingly written from start to finish, filled with more facts than you'll be able to remember first time through, The Last Miles is an essential portrait of Miles' last decade and a strong argument that his music was both valid and perfectly in keeping with a musical philosophy that would ultimately stretch over six decades." John Kelman, All About Jazz.com
"We veterans of Miles' last bands are lucky to have such a thorough and insightful look into Miles last period… I really enjoyed the book!" John Scofield, Miles's guitarist 1982-1985
"Cole has spoken to practically everyone who worked with Miles in his final decade. He has traced the evolution of each of those final albums, cut by cut, splice by splice….[Miles] comes out of Cole's account larger, warmer and if anything even more important than ever." Brian Morton (co-writer of The Penguin Guide to Jazz), The Wire
"Through lively analyses of all Miles' recorded work from this period and much that went unreleased, including the 'lost' album Rubberband, [Cole] does enough to send readers back to the original albums." Simon Evans, Choice
"… Cole is a persuasive writer: he prompted me to go and dig out albums that I'd dismissed as inconsequential and listen again with fresh ears. … A rewarding read." Charles Waring, Blues & Soul
"Cole takes us on an exhaustive journey deep into the heart of Miles' late recordings… The Last Miles needs to be covered by working musicians, producers and Miles' fans alike." Livingstone Marquis, Straight, No Chaser
" George Cole has written a book that should be required reading for anyone with a serious interest in Davis' life and work irrespective of which period of his music you prefer. It offers a valuable insight into this most complex of personalities, and reveals a side to Miles that many may not have known existed…for this reader it has prompted a re-examination of this decade which has revealed a fascinating area of music that I had previously overlooked." Nick Lea, Jazzviews.co.uk
"In the flurry of books since [Miles Davis's] death, none has dealt in depth with the music of this period. Music writer George Cole fills this gap… It is so detailed and intimate that the reader feels he is virtually living with Davis as he seeks to reinvent himself… a rich and rewarding read." Irwin Block, The Montreal Gazette
"This is a must for every Miles fan." Neal Gardner, Blogcritics.org
"A fantastic book, an amazing insight into Miles." Guy Barker, jazz trumpeter
"For Miles fans, this book is a must." Jez Nelson, presenter BBC Radio Jazz on 3
"I really do recommend The Last Miles… it is a fine work." John Cavanagh, presenter Radio Scotland's Bebop to Hip-Hop
"A great book that plays a great tribute to the last years of Miles' life." Erik Telford, presenter Miles Radio.com
"The fact of having personally interviewed all those characters… without much recall to interviews already noted and the usual anecdotes, renders "The Last Miles" as excellent… a book that certainly is seen as a work of reference." Maurizio Comandini, All About Jazz.com Italy
"[Cole] has written a comprehensive account of the comeback and the albums it produced… He takes the reader through each of the albums, cut by cut, examining the musical choices, the musicians and their successes… Cole's book is a valuable resource on the last 11 years of a true music legend's life." Chris Smith, Winnipeg Free Press
"I've been thoroughly enjoying your book. I'm sure it'll go a long way towards rectifying some of the negative historical appraisals of Miles' later works that have become prevalent." Kei Akagi, keyboardist in Miles's band 1989-1990.
"Cole gives an exhaustive account of every track recorded [and, it seems, every live show] in that decade and of every one of the dozens of musicians who played on them but what's most interesting is the portrait of Miles Davis that emerges from it all. Sometimes an asshole and a bully, yes, but also a very funny guy who was a good friend to many and a mentor to even more, a man with drug problems who was more often in great pain from other maladies. Through it all, Davis was obsessed with moving his music forward with anyone who could help him do it - from Prince to Public Enemy, from Scritti Politti to a violinist he saw on Johnny Carson and hired on the spot." Rock & Rap Confidential
"I thought your book was awesome and straight to the point. To tell stories the way it really happened is nothing but the truth! Congratulations and thanks!" Ricky Wellman, Miles's drummer 1987-1991
"George Cole has made a major contribution to jazz scholarship… written over a three-year period, the degree of detail is quite astonishing and the research so extensive that it becomes possible to contradict claims made by Miles himself in his autobiography. Every track on every 1981-1991 album is discussed in length… a very valuable book." Chris Yates, The Jazz Rag
"This book is a model of how these types of books should be… If late period Miles is in the readers' interest, the reader should rush out and purchase this volume. It is invaluable." Robert Iannapollo, ARSC Journal
The Last Miles was voted one of the top ten music books of 2005 by Record Collector magazine.
The Last Miles was joint winner of the Association for Recorded Sound Collections' Best Jazz History Book 2006 award.

Yesterday, on this program we told you about a new cyber-spying program that goes by the name Flame. Kaspersky Lab, a Russian computer security company, says it found the program lurking on computers in the Middle East. The company says Flame is a very sophisticated piece of spyware, so sophisticated, it must have been created by a country's government. But as NPR's Martin Kaste reports, it didn't take long for other security experts to cast doubt on those claims.
MARTIN KASTE, BYLINE: Kaspersky researcher Roel Schouwenberg calls Flame an espionage toolkit, capable of spying on a computer in any number of ways.
ROEL SCHOUWENBERG: It can capture all network data flowing to and from the computer. It can also actually activate the microphone on the computer to eavesdrop on conversations.
KASTE: Schouwenberg thinks Flame comes from the same source as Stuxnet, the malware that sabotaged engineering equipment in Iran, and which is widely believed to have been launched by Israel or the U.S. Flame's programming looks different, but it spreads itself in a similar way, and Schouwenberg thinks the two programs may have been parallel projects.
SCHOUWENBERG: Flame was actually much more successful in its target of being stealth and unnoticeable on the system than Stuxnet.
JOE JAROCH: We actually saw this threat back on December 5th of 2007.
KASTE: Joe Jaroch is vice-president of an American computer security company called Webroot. He says his company blocked Flame back then and didn't think much of it.
JAROCH: We've definitely taken a closer look at it now. It's impressive in that it's gigantic.
KASTE: Flame is a big program full of legitimate-looking software, something Jaroch says may have helped it to look benign and slip past other anti-virus companies. And he is not convinced that Flame is the uber-sophisticated product of some country's spy agency.
JAROCH: There's probably multiple authors, but based on the fact that it isn't really all that armored, and it's really just a relatively static threat, I would say this probably isn't done by some large organization.
KASTE: Of course, it's no surprise to hear one computer security company rain on another's parade. But the announcement by Kaspersky Lab also came under some scrutiny yesterday because the company is based in Russia. Jim Lewis, at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, says one should at least consider the potential geopolitical motives.
JIM LEWIS: You know, it damages the U.S. a little bit to put this story out there. If it was an Israeli or U.S. or British collection program, the Russians found it and they've turned it off. They would regard that as a success.
KASTE: Then again, there are also some more mundane reasons to publicize spyware like Flame.
JEFF FISCHBACH: I don't envy the anti-virus companies.
KASTE: Computer forensic expert Jeff Fischbach says these days PCs are a lot less vulnerable to spyware than they were ten years ago. He recalls a time when there were so many holes in Microsoft Windows he bought multiple anti-virus products just to be safe. But no longer.
FISCHBACH: I can't remember the last time I actually went out and purchased a boxed anti-virus program.
KASTE: He says as Microsoft has become better at patching some of those holes, security companies have had more reason to call attention to super-spyware like Flame.
