On Friday, March 15 in Washington DC, National Geographic and TEDx are hosting a day-long conference on species-revival science and ethics. In other words, they will be debating whether we can, and should, attempt to bring extinct animals back to life - a concept some call "de-extinction".
The debate has an interesting line-up of ecologists, geneticists, palaeontologists (including Australia's own Mike Archer), developmental biologists, journalists, lawyers, ethicists and even artists. I have no doubt it will be very entertaining.
But let's not mistake entertainment for reality. It disappoints me, a conservation scientist, that this tired fantasy still manages to generate serious interest. I have little doubt what the ecologists at the debate will conclude.
Once again, it's important to discuss the principal flaws in such proposals.
Put aside for the moment the astounding inefficiency, the lack of success to date and the welfare issues of bringing something into existence only to suffer a short and likely painful life. The principal reason we should not even consider the technology from a conservation perspective is that it does not address the real problem – mainly, the reason for extinction in the first place.
Even if we could solve all the other problems, if there is no place to put these new individuals, the effort and money expended is a complete waste of time and money. Habitat loss is the principal driver of species extinction and endangerment. If we don't stop and reverse this now, all other avenues are effectively closed. Cloning will not create new forests or coral reefs, for example.
The flaws do not end with a lack of space in a natural world shrinking as a result of over 26 million new humans per year. The loss of genetic diversity leading to inbreeding depression is a major issue that cloning cannot even begin to address. Without sufficient genetic variability, a population is almost certainly more susceptible to disease, reductions in fitness, weather extremes and over-exploitation. Studies show convincingly that genetic diversity is lower in threatened than in comparable non-threatened species, and there is growing evidence on how serious inbreeding effects are in determining extinction risk. Populations need to number in the hundreds or thousands of genetically distinct individuals to have any chance of persisting. To postulate, even for a moment, that cloning can artificially recreate genetic diversity essential for population persistence is therefore arrogant and irresponsible.
Cloning is also an expensive business – it can cost upwards of tens of thousands to several millions of dollars to clone a single animal. Like the costs associated with most captive breeding programmes, this is a nonsensical waste of finite funds.
Think of what we could do with that money for real conservation and restoration efforts, such as buying conservation easements, conservation land acquisition and restoring ecosystems. Even if the costs come down over time, cloning will always be more expensive than the equivalent investment in habitat restoration and protection.
The de-extinction debate was also covered earlier by Discover Magazine where they echoed many of these points. It truly is a fantasy most likely spawned by Hollywood-like impressions of white-coated, mad scientists mixing concoctions of DNA from frozen stores to create islands of long-lost species (what I call the Crichton syndrome). Society cannot even handle ideas about redistributing existing "megafauna" like elephants to solve existing ecological problems, let alone fathom the concept of regenerating viable populations of woolly mammoths, even if it were feasible.
De-extinction is therefore about as realistic as de-death; I for one am not in favour of sharing the neighbourhood with re-animated zombies.
So if you have the time, enjoy the show, but do not waste too much brain function (or money) on the idea.

The holiday season reminds us all that there are great businesses all around us and giving back to the community. Shop locally, it makes for unique and thoughtful gifts.
Showing your support to small, local businesses can be done in many ways. Writing an online review, engaging with their social media, and of course, purchasing their products or services are all great ways to do so.
So you're on board to shop locally this year, but you don't know where to start. Here are some tips to find great presents that support your community at the same time.
Talk it Out
A great place to start is asking the people in your life if they have a favorite go-to spot in town. We put a great deal of trust into what our friends recommend and let's be honest, we do this because they usually have great taste! One great experience leads to many new opportunities for a business so if you find out about a place, go ahead and pass it along as well.
Take a Drive
We know going into physical stores might not be your cup of tea this year, but a good way to explore what your town has to offer is making a tour inside your car. Of course, if you've loved going downtown and already know the best spots, we always encourage you to window shop locally as well. Most small businesses are offering curbside pickup options and your GreenEarth dry cleaner might even offer pickup and delivery so you can safely receive products and services from your local shops without stepping inside.
Head Online
Looking at your local newspaper or publications for recommendations is also a great starting point. Most articles you can find will actually list gift ideas for you: the best gift card deals, the best gifts for Mom, etcetera. What could be easier than that?
Think Outside the Box
Give the gift of no more laundry this year! Taking care of a loved one's garments is what your GreenEarth cleaner is here for. Get in touch with your local dry cleaner and see if they are offering gift cards or schedule a pickup for a family member. These gestures mean a lot to the people in your life and, you guessed it, that small dry cleaner appreciates it a whole lot too.

Not only is it counterproductive to point out that someone should lose some weight, it's harmful to her health as well.
A study in the journal Obesity says people who feel stigmatized because they carry too many pounds suffer a form of stress that can increase health risks. It's a two-part problem, experts say.
"Stemming in part from oversimplified and inaccurate beliefs about weight and obesity, weight stigma leads to societal devaluation, discrimination, and rejection of individuals with obesity and excess weight," wrote editorialists in Obesity. "In addition to damaging consequences for the mental health of those targeted, weight stigma adds insult to the direct injury of obesity, causing physiological stress, weight gain, disordered eating, and other maladaptive behaviors, and may increase mortality."
In other words, not only is it demotivating to "fat shame" someone, but it can lead to direct physical injury.
Many studies have explored the connection between obesity and "fat shaming," said Dale Veith, Psy.D., at Providence Medical Group-Seaside. He said he's seen many patients who have felt shamed and demotivated by what they see in the media and hear from their own health care providers.
"If I were king, I'd ban scales, and I'd ban BMI," said Dr. Veith, referring to body mass index, a commonly used measure to determine whether a person is overweight for his height. He said BMI misses people who trade 5 pounds of fat for 5 pounds of muscle, but contributes to a sensitivity about weight. As a result, a person may feel discouraged about his weight when he shouldn't.
Similarly a scale can tell you how much an object weighs, but it can tell you nothing about the composition of the object. A scale can't measure the transformation of fat to muscle.
"The media presents obesity as if that's the issue," Dr. Veith said. "It's not. The issue is fitness."
Losing weight is hard
It's not easy to take pounds off considering all the ways we're discouraged by our surroundings, said Sandy Miller, director of Health Education, Diabetes and Fitness Services at Providence Health & Services in Oregon.
"Our environment – fast food, the marketing and advertising of unhealthy foods and sugary drinks, screen time, neighborhoods with no sidewalks or bike paths – make it challenging to maintain a healthy weight," she said.
Making things worse, for some, is that many health care providers "aren't really great about talking to patients about weight," Miller said. Some overweight people who are ambivalent about losing weight won't take the initiative to do so because they are fearful of being shamed, she said. "Our health care system is not always warm and welcoming."
When psychological impediments are placed in the way of people who should lose weight, Dr. Veith said, it "makes them really reluctant to go out and do it."
Dr. Veith and Miller are part of a team at Providence that will launch a pilot program in medical weight management. It will involve specialists from various disciplines, including psychology and nutrition.
Doing damage by standing still
Miller and Dr. Veith want to foster healthier habits in the workplace. Miller presided over a Providence transition away from sugary drinks; Dr. Veith wishes treadmill desks and recumbent bikes would become more common.
Inactivity is damaging, he said.
"Five and a half hours of prolonged inactivity does as much damage as smoking a pack and a half of cigarettes," he said, adding, "And no amount of exercise is going to undo it."
But for a person to stand, walk and seek regular movement during the course of a work day, he must be motivated to make some healthy changes. And fat-shaming works against that.
"Shaming makes people not want to engage," said Dr. Veith.
The study in Obesity adds to the growing pool of research showing the relationship between weight stigma and poor physical outcomes, the authors wrote. And, it contradicts "a persistent argument that stigma motivates behavior change and improves health."
In other words, it's counterproductive to point out that a person is carrying an unhealthy amount of weight. It's more likely to discourage them than motivate them to make changes.
"The whole shift should be to 'How fit are you?'" said Dr. Veith. "We should get people to go out and play. Do it because it's fun."

We often read articles about a family's reaction to an Alzheimer's diagnosis. Many medical professionals offer sons, daughters, spouses, and others advice on how to cope with the impending loss. But what about the person who is actually diagnosed? How do they process this life-shattering news? How do they handle the fact that their mind may quickly fade away?
The life-changing terminal diagnosis of Alzheimer's is devastating. Being told that you're eventually going to lose all memory and knowledge of the precious life you had is shocking and heartbreaking. How do you prepare yourself?
Unfortunately, there has become a stigma over the word "Alzheimer's." It's natural for an initial thought to be "what will everyone think?" We've seen many public figures react to Alzheimer's in different ways. President Reagan gave a "goodbye" speech to the American public after being diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in 1994. He wanted us to remember him as he was. On the other side of this spectrum, actor Gene Wilder concealed the news of his diagnosis until death in 2016.
Denial of this diagnosis is the first reaction. Most people seek a second and third opinion. After all, we're not talking about a toothache. This is a disease that changes everything.
Just like grieving over a deceased loved one, panic often sets in after the diagnosis is confirmed and it quickly turns into anger. Realizing that you may become totally dependent can throw you into a deep depression. For family members, it is important to look out for suicidal tendencies and act quickly if there are warning signs.
Many people try to bargain by "turning their lives around," as if their actions prompted the disease. Some have begun volunteering, became more spiritual or religious, or started fixing broken relationships.
Art has become a therapeutic avenue for others. Some will write their memoirs or compose letters to each member of their family and circle of friends. Others will paint their memories in hopes that the final product will become a trigger when the disease has taken hold. Many patients have found solace in listening to as much music as possible.
On a more practical note, you should ensure that all estate-planning matters are taken care of. Consult an elder law attorney to review your will, power of attorney, and any trusts you have in place.
Alzheimer's is a disease that is unlike other terminal illnesses. It takes away memories, identities, and the most basic elements that make us who we are. It is helpful to try and accept it and focus on life. Unfortunately, some people never accept the reality of the disease. But for those that do, living healthy and spending, as much time with friends and family is key.

For more than four years, the unemployment rate has been sliding down — from a 10 percent peak to today's 6.7 percent.
But does that reflect a fast-strengthening economy? Or is the rate falling only because so many people are dropping out of the workforce?
In coming weeks, members of Congress and the Federal Reserve Board will be making big policy decisions based upon their best understanding of those unsettled questions.
"The problem is that there are multiple possible explanations" for why the jobless rate has been falling since 2009, said Ann Owen, a former Fed economist who now teaches at Hamilton College. "There's no one thing that ties it all up" and makes it absolutely clear what is happening.
Even though their understanding of the job market's health may be incomplete, policymakers must make judgments. Here are just two issues hanging in the balance:
Interest rates. The Federal Reserve said in 2012 that it would allow interest rates to rise once the jobless rate fell to 6.5 percent. But as the magic 6.5 percent level draws closer, many people fear the economy is still far too weak to handle higher rates, which would make homes, cars and other purchases less affordable.
Extended unemployment benefits. Democrats plan to push Congress to renew extended unemployment benefits. Many Republicans say that emergency measure, first approved in 2008, is no longer needed. But is it?
As economists sift through the data, these are agreed-upon facts:
These are some leading theories to explain the falling jobless rate:
Baby boomers are retiring. The Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago says that except for an uptick during the housing boom, the labor force has been shrinking for a decade because boomers are aging out of the workforce.
Boomers, born between 1946 and 1964, made the labor-force participation rate soar in the 1980s, especially as women started working. Now we are seeing the predictable reversal of that trend, which would have played out no matter what economic policies had prevailed in recent years.
Many economists say retirements are causing about half of the labor force shrinkage. Others say it's 60 percent, and yet others believe it's more like 40 percent.
More people are claiming disability. An economist with the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia says the labor force has been shrinking in part because of soaring Social Security disability claims. And those disabled people are as lost to employers as the retirees.
"The likelihood of those who left the labor force due to retirement or disability rejoining the labor force is small," Shigeru Fujita wrote.
Young people are studying longer.The Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago study also concluded that "there has been a long-running downward shift in teen work activity." In other words, back when factories offered good opportunities to 18-year-old workers, many went for the paychecks. Now young people are more likely to keep studying or taking unpaid internships.
Many economists say that while those three demographic trends have truth to them, they are far from the whole story. For example, the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta notes that the number of prime-age workers — ages 25 to 54 — is continuing to fall.
And others point out: People 55 and older have actually been participating at a slightly higher rate since the recession began.
Still others argue that a key problem is changing the nature of work. They say the Labor Department is not capturing changes in the modern economy while using its traditional survey questions.
In a digital age, many of the "missing" prime-age workers may well be earning money, but as freelancers or in ways that fall into gray areas of the economy — like doing remote work for overseas employers, but only a couple of times a year.
This past fall, Wells Fargo Economics Group released an analysis saying government data are failing to measure the digital workforce, where many people take on paid tasks as software developers, editors or Web designers but don't show up as officially employed. "Simply stated, the labor market of the 21st century is quite different than in the past," the report concluded.

Many people may not think that of an art museum as the ideal field trip location for a group of children with visual impairment, but when the Dallas Independent School District (DISD) contacted the DMA earlier this summer with such a tour request, we were eager to provide the best experience possible. When discussing the visit with vision teachers at DISD, they felt it was important to expose their students to art and wanted an experience that would illustrate to the students that they too have the ability to create and appreciate art just as well as any other student.
The Planning Process
The Dallas Museum of Art has never before offered guided touch tours to visitors with visual impairment, but after speaking with our Director of Exhibition Design, we learned that she fully supports inclusive gallery teaching, and thus was open to supporting the Museum's first ever touch tour. We talked with our colleagues in the exhibitions and conservation departments and found that they too were fully supportive of trying out a touch tour with the DISD students. The DMA Sculpture Garden was identified as the best place for our inaugural touch tour, since the objects in the garden are designed for an outdoor space and are thus subject to (and able to withstand) a variety of natural elements. We also felt that it was essential for the students to have the galleries to themselves during the tour, so as not to confuse other visitors about the acceptability of touching works of art, as well as for the overall comfort of the students with vision impairment. We therefore decided to schedule the touch tour for a Monday, when the Museum is closed to the public.
Our next step in the planning process was to walk through the space as a group, making note of areas that may be problematic for someone with vision impairment to navigate. The team was comprised of education, conservation, and exhibitions staff, and everyone on the team raised thoughtful questions and contributed wonderful ideas! We discussed which works of art may be the best for a tactile experience, and our conservators suggested that the kids have the chance to touch the works of art without gloves (which is usually unheard of in other touch tours!). Our exhibitions team offered to wash and hand-clean the works we selected so that they would be nice and clean for the experience. And one conservator suggested we select works of art that were large enough to be touched by more than one student at a time, so that the students could talk to one another about what they felt as they each touched the artwork.
After squaring things away with the exhibitions and conservation teams, the education team began planning the educational experiences of the tour. We prepared for twenty-five students, ranging in age from six to thirteen years, all with a range of visual impairment. The majority of students in the group had some residual vision, while two students were very photophobic, and two were blind from birth. Due to the range of abilities of our tour group, our education team knew it was important to include a variety of artworks in the tour (in addition to those on the touch tour), integrate many descriptive explanations of works of art and hands-on activities, and to have numerous tactile objects available.
In the Galleries
When designing the overall tour, we selected a variety of objects that spanned time periods, artistic techniques, and geographic locations. We visited two contemporary art sculptures in the Sculpture Garden for the touch portion, two Abstract Expressionist works in the contemporary gallery, and a mask in the African gallery. Our aim was to engage all of the senses throughout our tour, as we believe that presenting multiple representations of content would effectively cater to the different learning styles of the group. We created a multi-modal experience by collecting auditory clips for sound stimulation, tactile materials and replica objects for touch, Jelly Belly jelly beans for taste sensations, and essential oils and scented colored pencils for olfactory information.
Each stop on the tour had a visual description of the gallery space and of the works of art we focused on, because it was important for us to situate ourselves, the children, and the art in space, as the sense of bodily awareness in space is something that many people without vision impairment may take for granted. Much of our time in the galleries was spent guiding students in tactile looking activities connected to specific works of art and facilitating conversations about texture and form. For instance, we created a reproduction of Jasper John's Device so that the students could not only touch canvas and feel layers of paint, but they could also replicate moving the wooden stretchers back and forth across the canvas, while imagining the technique in which Johns spread the paint back and forth.
In the African galleries, we focused on a helmet mask made by the Kuba people of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and passed around raffia, cowrie shells, feathers and other materials found in the mask. Additionally, we played sound clips of the various animals that related to the mask.
Relating to Richard Diebenkorn's Ocean Park No. 29, we discussed how an artist could depict a place using sounds, smells, and taste. The students each ate a jelly bean and imagined the color they believed the flavor might represent. Next, they used a scented colored pencil to illustrate a place based on that smell. We also played sound clips of ocean waves and boat horns to recreate the Santa Monica locale that inspired Diebenkorn's Ocean Park series.
Our tour concluded with a sensory drawing activity that took place at the large fountain outside the Museum's Flora Street entrance. The students listened to the sounds created by the water in the fountain, and considered how the water (and space around it) might appear, what color the water would be, even how the smell would be rendered. We gave each student a piece of thin Styrofoam and a pencil to create their drawing of the fountain; the students were able to feel the indented lines they drew onto the Styrofoam and took turns sharing their creations with one another.
Until Next Time
This was an exceptional experience for DISD students, teachers, and DMA staff alike. One teacher who helped to organize this visit said that this experience "might be the only time this whole summer [the students] get this opportunity to learn tactually, through their auditory channels and their residual vision, which sighted people take so much for granted." It was a transformative experience as well for our Museum. We are honored to have been a part of this experience, and cannot celebrate enough the fantastic support and collaboration exhibited by DMA staff from many different departments. A huge thank you to DISD for bringing their students, and a thousand thank you's to the DMA's conservation, exhibitions, visitor services, and security teams. This was a team effort and we appreciate the unified support and assistance—let's hope this is the first of many touch tours to come!

Dr Chris Steele & Yvette Discuss Menopause on ITV *
Specialist Food Supplements for Healthy Ageing: Menopause, Immun'Age, PollenAid
All backed by Independent Clinical Studies
Thank you for visiting Novanutri's website, do feel free to call us on 01948 831057 if you have any questions.
In 2003, a seed of an idea was spawned: to help as many other people as possible. The idea became a company and NovaNutri Ltd was born. As founder of NovaNutri , Yvette Hastings has seen the company evolve throughout the years; whilst the initial interest was in helping those going through the menopause, this has evolved into a much broader spectrum and now offers a range of health options and benefits, to both men and women.
Working with partners in the UK and abroad, we at NovaNutri have added products which have been tested, both in-house and by a select number of volunteers; many of whom have been long term customers. Hence we are confident that our specialist products will benefit many people, as supported by our independent studies to demonstrate safety and efficacy.
NovaNutri is extremely fortunate to have had the best of medical support and encouragement, both from local GPs to a world renowned Gynaecologist. More recently, we have been delighted to be supported by consultants in the North West of England who have generously given their time to speak on pertinent health issues and how we can look to optimise our quality of lives by looking after our body. Pharmaceutical support has been provided by professors and pharmacists, both in the UK and abroad, who specialise in investigating the science behind traditional remedies and diets. We look forward to our continued association with these medical professionals, to whom we are deeply indebted.
Throughout the years, the business has always provided free customer support: we encourage both new and old customers to call us to discuss their personal needs. Please be assured that all conversations are held in strictest confidence and we will never share any of your personal details with third parties. For women going through the menopause, many find it helps to speak to someone who knows exactly what you are going through. Given Yvette's experience with endometriosis from the age of 16 which eventually culminated in premature menopause, many women facing a hysterectomy or who have experienced endometriosis and / or painful periods find chatting to her particularly helpful.
As with all supplements, we would always recommend that you discuss taking these with your GP or Pharmacist (we are happy to provide information for medical professionals on our specialist range of products). This is particularly important for anyone who is on medication or has any medical conditions. For example something as simple as cranberry or grapefruit juice can affect Warfarin which is prescribed for DVT. In addition, alcohol and caffeine can reduce the absorption of the active ingredients within medications and supplements and hence affect their efficacy.
Please read the usage directions on all purchases, paying particular attention to any allergy indicators that may apply to you.
All products carried by Novanutri maintain our policy of minimising our carbon footprint, and every effort is made to continue the on-going support of UK businesses.
We hope we have been of help today. Should you wish to discuss your concerns or requirements, we will be happy to help. Please contact us on 01948 831057 or via email at: email@example.com
Preface by Dr Chris Steele, MBE
Providing details of the main symptoms women may experience when going through the menopause.
Yvette is an experienced presenter at women's menopause support groups nationally, within both public and private sectors.
She is also a guest speaker for TV and Radio channels.

Yes, these discs WILL play in US players. I asked the label and got a response directly from the person responsible for these packages. He told me to make them as universal as possible, Demon/Edsel have made these Beat DVDs Region 0 (i.e. all regions) and NTSC. He tells me the majority of PAL players, happily play NTSC discs. So they play everywhere!!,p.
Is there going to be a vinyl release as well? Thought I saw it mentioned somewhere but now can;t seem to find mention of it
I asked Dave and he said their might be some vinyl forthcoming. I'm asking the labels for more info and will post when I get it, along with images, if any.
Looking good, my friends! (those martinis are looking good, too! xx
Whooo – 10/10, baby!
Congrats! Nicely done. You are a true super-fan! 🙂

I must say I think I'm in love. -
You guys deserve it-classic songwriting, infectious beat, diversity-you have it all! Enjoyed your show at Knuckleheads!
Congrats to a phenomenal band.

Will the 3 disc cd sets also be released in the US at some point? If not, I've already ordered "Special Beat Service". Can't wait to get my hands on it.
As the 3 disc releases are being released by the UK label, and the box set by the US label, it is not likely
when can i get audio cd's and or downloads?
Hey Lee, as the post says this release is coming out soon, on SEPTEMBER 18, 2012! Thanks for asking!
Amazing night. Got to meet you Dave. hey please keep in touch xx
God, I feel like I shloud be takin notes! Great work
Saw you two weeks ago in Adelaide and you were absolutely brilliant, danced my ass off. Please come back sometime soon. xx
Hey guys,great news! Just one question-Is the dvd region one or two?
Hi Ian, thanks for the question. Checking out the DVD I see it says it is NTSC format, which is Region 1, and not PAL.
Ok,thank you…Um,do you know of any plans for a UK release? (I need to own this)!!
Hiya, sorry no plans for a UK release of the US Festival DVD at this time. However, just so you know, many computer DVD drives and some standalone DVD players are Region-less, allowing playback of any disc. So I'd check your player to be sure before giving up hope of playing it.
Ok,no worries.Thank you Sirlou.

I was there on 82 & 83 the best time of my life
How can I get a dvd & cd
From both yrs-
Heya Cesar, actually the Shout! Factory set contains performance from BOTH the 82 & 83 shows on both the CD and DVD. Hope that clears up any confusion.

So glad I saw this show (BB King's) listed before it was too late. Love the Beat!
Thanx SirLou!
And not to mention that the Main Character's Heart Throb is partly inspired by Dave himself…especially his singing voice!!

That Song is timeless!
Perhaps in death she will find the PEACE she never knew on earth.
At the concert last night (4.13.13) at the Coach House in San Juan Capistrano, Dave and the band did "Whine and Grine/Stand Down Margaret" and he ended it with a touching and classy "RIP Margaret".
BTW the concert was AWESOME, as always. -
To give you vinyl lovers a comparison, EMI's reissue of Bowie's Ziggy Stardust from 2012, came with what seemed a very good quality gatefold sleeve. Well that was around HALF the weight and thickness of these Doors sleeves. No one at this present time can come close to the quality on offer here. Rather than printing straight to board, (the cheap way of doing it) the sleeves are printed separately on paper stock and then mounted on to the board. Each jacket is then hand-folded and individually inspected. The vinyl jackets are all laminated for extra protection (and a luxury finish), and although that does cause fingerprints to show up quite easily, they are easy enough to wipe off.
Those women could ultimately use a college scholarship fund.
The fund was set up by Cummins, of Ward 14, and council members Dona Brady, of Ward 17, and Matt Zone, of Ward 15, to help the three women and child who were held captive inside a Seymour Avenue home. Gina DeJesus, Michelle Knight, Amanda Berry and Berry's daughter were discovered inside the home one week ago.
Yes, thank you Sybil and Thomas for your useful and insightful comments.
The show went over very well and we were very pleased to be of some small help to these three courageous women.
Just an update, according to the CLEVELAND COURAGE FUND website, as of August 6th, you all have raised $1,390,000 for this worthy cause and these brave women.
Well done!!

The Beat are performing in Melbourne Australia on 2 April 2015. Is this different to the English Beat?
Im keen to see Mr Wakeling perform, but dont think he's part of the performance in Melbourne?
If not, i'l b in America in Dec 2015/Jan 2016, will Dave be performing anywhere during these months?
Regards, Wil.-
Hey Wil, thanks for the comment and thanks for your support! Don't worry, you didn't miss the one and the only Dave Wakeling in Australia this month. That was not our band.
However, when you come to the States he will most certainly be playing during that time frame — but it's a very large country. Hit me up with an email personally (firstname.lastname@example.com) when you have firmer dates and plans and I will see what I can do to help you out, mate.
The Beat
So excited to see you Saturday in Mill Valley, any chance I could photograph you Saturday for just the first couple songs? I love your artistic vision and I've been a fan for a good 25+ years… and I'm a good photog but also a huge philanthropist that gives back to victims of domestic violence. I would love the opp! I've photographed the Go-Gos to ABC and more.
Thanks so much for considering me!
Hi Amy, hope you were able to make it out and that you enjoyed the show. It was a wee bit of short notice for that photo pass, sorry. But hit me up personally next time at firstname.lastname@example.com and we'll see what we can do for you. Thank you for your efforts helping others. We know we've got a lot of great, kind-hearted open minded people as fans and it's a real pleasure to play for you all. We're honoured and privileged to have you as a fan.

Are you playing a date in Melrose in the Scottish Borders on the UK Tour in September?
We hear you and we are trying! As Dave had mentioned on our Twitter (@TheEnglishBeat): http://bit.ly/1Cw6Rka
"Re: Q's @ Irish, Welsh, & other dates, if we can't find 'em in Sep, we will set up a Spring tour to cover anywhere we missed! cheers, dave x"
Hope that helps!
The Beat
Having first seen the band in London and Berlin in the late 70's early 80's, I've been marooned in middle America for 30 years(Wichita, KS). Last saw the band in Kansas City on a rainy Saturday opening for Reel Big Fish who never ended up playing. Thanks for venturing back to the middle of the US this time around. Looking forward to driving to Tulsa next weekend for the Guthrie Green show. I hope you play at least an hour since I will be at the festival to see only The Beat.
Just saw you last night at the MIM. I appreciate your venturing into an interesting venue. The accoustics were off of the chart, people not so much. I was one of the people dancing in the back! Thanks for a great night!
Long live The Beat!
This is brilliant Dave. Well done!
Cracking….me ranking full stop…..bEat girl dance wind wid me…….:-)
Love it, Dave! Never realized it went back to the 50's. Paz y amor todos!
Always good to hear the early music. So many influences and then one magic Ska moment
Good stuff!
Awesome I have often wanted to do a history of ska.
Great presentation. Enjoyed it. Hoping you to see you again in albuquerque.
Love, love your live performances!!
Hey all. Saw you guys play at Daryls Place in Pawling NY I listen to your songs during the 80's and in the clubs scene in NYC and in France and I have to say it was a lot of fun! Great show!

Dear Dave, so sorry to miss a very moving moment of tribute. Hoping there can be a tribute to Roger here in New york city. love, Tricia
Just heard about the loss of Ranking Roger. Prayers go to his family in England, and I hope they are able to deal with the loss. I read how his children were such a big part of his life.
Having the honor of seeing the English Beat and General Public perform in Austin, Texas back in the 80s, all my friends were addicted to the high energy, politically packed music which made you dance but brought a message few bands could muster. Personally, I still have all the American albums, plus the Euro imports.
Mr. Wakeling, I hope you are able to deal with the loss of a collaborative soulmate. Your group has given millions of people a tremendous amount of joy which will not go away. I hope and pray that you find the peace and comfort in a difficult time.
Thank you again for the work you gave us and continue to give us. As a college student, I embraced the ska movement, and I saw the English Beat as being the forefront of the movement. I have never lost the passion, and the world will be a little emptier without Ranking Roger.
God bless to you, and the rest of your bandmates and family.
Peace to Roger. Peace be with you and all the band mates over the years that created such amazing music for four decades. We saw your show in January and was wonderful. So many memories. Thank you.
My love, prayers and thoughts are with you Dave, and all who loved Roger, as a fellow musician, soul brother, father and family member.
Thank you for all you gave to us, your supporters, and for being such a pivotal force in bringing all colours and creeds together with your musical collaborations.
Growing up as a mixed raced kid in the 70s/80s was fkn hell most of the time. The disgusting NF were prevalent,
politically and socially. But every time I saw you on TOTP and other tv shows you gave me the strength to keep going and have faith for the future.Listening to your music (on vinyl, as was standard in those days) freed me from the fear of the racism i had to endure every day, outside and inside my home (from my white stepfather). Those precious, snatched, few minutes with your flow in my heart and soul saved me. I've never been blessed to see you live, yet, but you, and others like you, keep me going. Thank you.
Unfortunately and sickeningly, the scum of white extremism/hate groups, etc, have risen once more into the public arena. Pathetic. Ignorant. But dangerous. Preying on the young, the lost and the lonely with their rehashed, regurgitated manifestos. No such thing as an original thought? Definitely not in this case.
The Beat, General Public, The English Beat and all musicians who bring the majority together in song and dance are to be revered for their enduring, timeless movement and for creating something real, rock solid and steadfast. Amen to that!
I will mourn the loss of a wonderful artist but rejoice in knowing Roger will take top rankin' in Heaven where pain and suffering have no place.
God bless you, Dave, and all who were blessed to personally know the force of nature of the Righteous, Rankin' Roger!
My heart, soul, blessings, prayers and love go out to you allAnd may open-mindedness and open-heartedness triumph, through music, through our blood, through us all. Forever!!
May the greatest 'toaster' be toasted and celebrated, today and always xxx
RIP Roger, will always remember that smile, that bounce & you letting me enter the bus in Ventura to speak with Dave. We had good laughs. Blessings to your family & band mates (David). You will be greatly missed!
Thanks for the memories Roger, may you rest in peace.
Top Ranking. Full stop.
Thanks for all the great tunes throughout the years, Roger. Your music was influential to so many. You will be sorely missed. Keep on skanking!
RIP great musician.
RIP Roger! So sad to see another one of the great's of my generation pass on way too soon!!
Where can I purchase the collection of music you have on your website? Can't find it on iTunes or the best of English Beat. Some of those songs I haven't heard and I'd love this collection.
Please, please.
RIP Ranking Roger! -
My heart is broken … love English Beat and GP. Nothing but happy memories from days gone by. RIP Ranking Roger.
I am so sad to hear of the passing of Roger, My heart goes out to his family, band mates and friends, As a fan of the band for many years I wish to express my gratitude to all involved in bringing the Englishbeat music into my life, I was fortunate to have seen your concert at red butte last year with my wife, it was one of the best date nights we have ever had largely because of Roger and his wonderful energy he brought to the stage. May all of you be blessed during these difficult times and remember the many lives you have enriched with your glorious music.
All of my love to you, Ranking Roger and the English Beat family everywhere. Many Thanks for all the music, joy and kindness.

Rog -chill in there in peace and thanks for the memories x
AKA Chris Sherpa) Roney -
I remember meeting the band in bar right before their show with the Pretenders. I do believe they had not been in the states previous to this and I remember driving them back to the hotel after many hours of drinking ha ha ha! They were all quite nice and they played their asses off and actually upstaged the Pretenders! There is no band like the English Beat!They were the best especially with Roger!
Coming of age as I did in the late 70s and early 80s, 'I Just Can't Stop It' became the soundtrack of my life for quite a few years. I still consider it in the top 3 of my all time favorite albums. You cant help but smile (and dance) when listening to it. It's brilliant and timeless, fresh even today.
Thanks RR for the good times!
Like Lennon and McCartney and Strummer and Jones, Dave Wakeling and Ranking Roger created a musical partnership that blazed a path of originality, timeless music and hope that was for everyone. No matter where I have been in my life, no matter what my mood, an instant sense of unbridled joy and dance washes over me and fillls my heart and my life.The English Beat's vocal duo melded a music that blended black and white and showed the world that you could face a world of uncertainty with a musical release and outlet that makes me proudly state I Just Can't Stop It when it comes to their soundtrack of my life. My heart goes out to Roger's children and family, all Beat band members past and present, the Two Tone family, which the band opened to all. I am sad I missed a few times, due to bad luck, that I never got to see the original band. I mourn that I will never get to shake Roger's hand and tell him what his music and indomitable spirit has meant to me. I am sure I am not alone. What we all get in the wake of his passing are his ethos of nevering giving up, and for the rest of our days, his music remains and will let him live forever. RIP Roger.
Whoosh – and it's back to my childhood in the Seventies – thanks for the tunes, Dave!!
Hi guys, would be great to see you back in the UK again, after seeing you in Cardiff on your last visit.
Do you plan to visit that part of the country or anywhere in the South West!
Chris -
That's how I wash my hands. Let's all do our part to stop covid19 and we'll see the English Beat on tour next year. Thanks from Stateside Madness
Where can I purchase tickets for the Newport Beach shows?
Any updates on where to get tix for the Tiki Bar shows – nothing on the Tiki Bar website {?}
when is next N. Cal show?
Dallas, Texas eagerly awaits your return! Dallas LOVES The Beat!
Dave, I'd like to apologize for how things turned out with the 30th Anniversary Tour. I lost a car with you remember? Parking at the clubhouse like you suggested. Anyhow, it's the past and I'm committed to keeping the Beats music alive. I'd like to join you for this year's tour of the states if you can find it in your heart to let by gones be by gones, let me know.
Best of luck with everything and I thank you for the times we had.
From Danilo
Mr wakeling, I've enjoyed your group since 1981, my son is autistic and likes your music as well, I was wondering the next time you perform at the belly up could he possibly be on stage with you for a song he would love it. He's like a rain an of music and I'm amazed at all the songs he knows
so sad its been rescheduled ,but for the best i think.
do you know roughly when your playing in margate? -
Come to Northern California
We need to Twist and Crawl -
Where are your further event dates please. Any outdoor park events soon? Saw you at OC Fair. Wish you were headliners
To the Family of Everett Morton and The English Beat,
My sincerest, deepest heartfelt condolences. Everett was an amazing, unique drummer and a legend. Unfortunately i never got to see the original English Beat live. I loved you guys as a kid and I still love you guys as an adult. I will always love The English Beat and my kids do now also. Please know Everett brought so much happiness to people's lives and will continue to do so. I still listen everyday to some of the most amazing albums ever created. The English Beat are one of those bands that just captured "lightning in a bottle". I really really liked General Public and the Fine Young Cannibals but The English Beat are embedded in my heart forever. This one hurts so bad just like it did with Roger and Saxa. The amazing legacy will still continue and one of these years when it is not expected, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame will come calling. -
My sister and I are looking forward to seeing you on November 7th. I cannot wait!
Trying to figure out why your show was taken off the bill in Kent, OH 11/9. We were traveling from New York a 7 hour trip. But only if you were playing.
Thanks!! -
Have we missed any Texas (Houston, preferably) dates, or are there any upcoming?

NCEP/NCAR long term data
How can i obtain long-term wind data (1980-2018) for the specific location Adama, Ethiopia
Re: How to obtain/plot/analyze data
I want to pose a series of questions regarding wave spectrum analysis with limited data and without the use of wave modeling software.
Let's assume that the data sources is ICOADS, and that for a particular point in space and time, we have these two known variables:
wave height (WH): 1 meter; swell height (SH): 2 meters
Note: The wave and swell heights are reported in ICOADS as half-meters, but assume that I have already converted them to the values shown above in whole meters.
Next, let's assume that the data were observed at sea in deep water, say, 250 m.
If I want to determine the significant wave height (Hs or H 1/3), I can use this formula:
Hs = ((WH^2) + (SH^2))^0.5 ≈ 2.236 m
Hmax = 2.0 (Hs) ≈ 4.472 m
Question: From these known variables, how is maximum crest height (Hc) determined? During my review of DNV published literature, it was suggested that, "the maximum crest to wave height ratio for a Stokes wave is 0.635."
Following that, is it correct to say that the maximum crest height, based on Hmax is:
Hc = 0.635 (Hmax) ≈ 2.840 m
Or, is there a more appropriate formula (and/or conversion ratio) to use?
Again, please assume that there are no additional data available and that no wave spectrum modeling is available.
I want to pose more questions along the same line, but I will stop with this one for now until it is resolved.
Thank you.

Re: How to obtain/plot/analyze data of solar radiation
Dear Giuseppe,
For what time period are you interested in data?
For data from reanalyses, please see the output lists at each of the reanalysis data providers
Almost all (if not all) of the reanalysis datasets provide both of these variables. You will need to subset them yourself, however. For reanalysis datasets that are opendap enabled, you can use something like "ncks" (http://nco.sourceforge.net/) to select only particular gridpoints.
However, these are not "measurements". For this, you will need to consult with experts on these variables. The Baseline Surface Radiation Network (http://bsrn.awi.de/stations/maps.html) might be a good place to start to get some possible data sources (http://bsrn.awi.de/services/contact.html).
Please respond back with additional questions if we can be of more help.
best wishes

What is systematic theology?
The latest issues of the International Journal of Systematic Theology and Irish Theological Quarterly contain a great pile of essays exploring the nature of systematic theology from Catholic and Protestant perspectives. Interestingly, a couple of the articles refer to Lewis Ayres' polemical call for "a wider critique of the culture of systematic theology as such, an uncovering of the conditions that make it possible, and a sketch of the sort of theological culture that would enable a deeper and more attentive engagement [with historical sources]" – but none of the articles really attempts to respond to this remarkable challenge. Anyway, here's a list of the articles, with a few remarks about each one:
Nicholas M. Healy, "What Is Systematic Theology?"
This is one of the most interesting and stimulating of all the essays. Healy distinguishes between "official theology" (the production of church institutions), "ordinary theology" (the reflection of virtually all believers), and "professional-academic theology." The purpose of academic theology is to mediate constructively and critically between the other two kinds of theology. In order to do this, academic theology must maintain a certain distance from both church and academy; "systematic theology must necessarily be a bit of an outsider in both the church and the university if it is to contribute fruitfully to the quest for greater understanding of the Christian faith." Professional-academic theology suffers if it is accommodated too much to the demands of the university, or if it is "required to serve the church rather too directly, either by teaching the official theology or working to support it." On the whole, Healy argues that the university provides the best environment for this kind of academic theology, provided it always stays in close relation to both "ordinary" and "official" theology. Thus theology can work "as a constructively unsettling element in both places," the church and the university.
Fáinche Ryan, "Theology as a Road to Sanctification?"
I think this is by far the most important and most challenging essay. Ryan opens with this: "In an article entitled 'Théologie et sainteté', written in 1948, Hans Urs von Balthasar notes that for a long tract of Christian history the great theologians were also the great saints, but that this no longer seems to be the case." She thus raises pointed questions about the kinds of people who are responsible for teaching theology: "Is God truly the subject of this 'academic' theology? Do theologians, indeed does the Catholic Church, expect students to become formed and transformed through the doing of theology? … Who might teach this discipline which seems to pertain to the sacramental life of the Church?" Through a close reading of Aquinas, Ryan argues that theology should be regarded as "a sanctifying activity", indeed that it is a kind of sacrament – or at least a "quasi-sacrament." Prayer and contemplation are of the essence of a theologian's life; and "like true prayer, authentic theology leads to transformation, it leads towards God, towards holiness, and in this way may be seen as pertaining to the sacramental life of the Church."
John Webster, "Principles of Systematic Theology"
A defence of the contemplative nature of systematic theology. Theology's rationality is made possible by the trinitarian relations; the Father and Son "open to creatures a share in the divine knowledge." The article provides an interesting window on how Webster's current work is being shaped by his ever-deeper immersion in the world of Reformed scholasticism (so that the influence of Reformed orthodoxy appears to be eclipsing that of Barth). He says things like this: "The first material object of systematic theology is God considered in himself." And this: "It must be emphasised: theology is possible; there is a proportion between theologia in se (the divine knowledge) and theologia nostra (creaturely knowledge)." And this: "Systematic intelligence is fitting, and it is appropriate to attempt a consistent overall presentation of Christian teaching, in which the infinite divine archetype is echoed in finite ectypal modes of intelligence."
Paul S. Fiddes, "Concept, Image and Story in Systematic Theology?"
An argument for the importance of an "aesthetic theology" which utilises extra-biblical novels and poetry as theological source materials. Fiddes responds to Francesca Murphy's book, God Is Not a Story. He agrees that systematic theology is concerned with concepts and realities, not merely narratives; but he concludes: "God is indeed a story, but a story that is more actual than anything in the world about which the story is told. To say this is 'poetic', but it is also a matter of sheer realism."
Neil Ormerod, "What Is the Goal of Systematic Theology?"
A critique of the residual Kantianism of contemporary systematic theology, and an argument (via Lonergan) for the role of judgment in systematic theology: "if we acknowledge the constitutive role of judgment in knowing truth, then … dogmas are essentially ecclesially constituted judgments of truth, not reinterpretations of interpretations of experience. They seek to express in precise and concise terms truths presented to us in the Scriptures."
A. N. Williams, "What Is Systematic Theology?"
An argument that "systematicity – the fact of being systematic, of expressing connections between doctrines – is of the essence of theology." The subject-matter of systematic theology is the relationality within the Trinity and the relations between God and the world; this means that theology is always concerned with the "system" of these relations and connections.
In conclusion, this is a very interesting range of essays, including a couple of first-rate articles: but all this talk of "systems" has given me a sudden urge to go read some Rowan Williams...

Container Gardening can provide a wonderful addition to your outdoor landscape. With a variety of uses and arrangements, try adding this to the overall design of your outdoor living space.
Benefits of Container Gardening
Plants in pots are easy to move. Brighten a dark corner with pots of white, pink or yellowing flowering shade lovers such as impatiens and Helichrysum. Some plants with a short blooming period, such as lilies or foxglove, look magnificent in containers and grow well in those temporary quarters. Transplant them to the garden when they're finished blooming. As the seasons change, you can easily re-pot and replant containers to freshen your garden displays. Of course, if you are about to move to a new home, your container garden can come right along with you.
Potted plants and garden planters create interest. Grouped in strategic places, they can break the monotony of a terrace or a patio and create an ambient scene. Build a simple theme garden around a color, texture or an idea. A collection of yellow and blue bloomers, such as pansies and heliotrope, makes a cheerful display. Pots of Sedum and Sempervivum bring a desert theme to your patio, balcony or garden.
Rearrange plantings to suit the season, your mood or blossoms as they mature and change color. Enjoy planters full of violets and narcissus in Spring, petunias and dusty-miller in Summer and Coleus and Kale in Fall. Create new planters to dress up your patio or deck for a party or special event. Container gardening doesn't need to stop in the Winter. Plant Winter-hardy heathers for colorful displays in cold weather.
Contain rampant growers that are too invasive to let loose in the garden. Bamboo and mints are great examples of plants that do well in containers, but will take over an in-ground garden. Plant these and other vigorous growers in a garden planter, then plant the pot in the ground with the lip of the pot even with the soil surface.
Garden planters set the stage in outdoor rooms and may even steal the show. Group sun-loving plants around a large houseplant that's summering outdoors. A jumble of various pots stacked on stands and clustered loosely lends a pleasant casual look. Containers aligned with precision and planted with trim specimens such as rosemary standards or ivy topiaries create instant formality. A trio of large pots makes a garden appear more settled, they suggest the accumulation of years of growth.
Finally, plants that require a longer growing season can be started indoors to bloom outside in summer. Many frost-sensitive plants make wonderful houseplants in winter and can spend the summer on your patio or deck.

[Binding strategy:] Binding a function to a monadic value creates a new continuation which uses the function as the continuation of the monadic computation. [Useful for:] Complex control structures, error handling, and creating co-routines. [Zero and plus:] None. [Example type:] @'Cont' r a@ The Continuation monad represents computations in continuation-passing style (CPS). In continuation-passing style function result is not returned, but instead is passed to another function, received as a parameter (continuation). Computations are built up from sequences of nested continuations, terminated by a final continuation (often @id@) which produces the final result. Since continuations are functions which represent the future of a computation, manipulation of the continuation functions can achieve complex manipulations of the future of the computation, such as interrupting a computation in the middle, aborting a portion of a computation, restarting a computation, and interleaving execution of computations. The Continuation monad adapts CPS to the structure of a monad. Before using the Continuation monad, be sure that you have a firm understanding of continuation-passing style and that continuations represent the best solution to your particular design problem. Many algorithms which require continuations in other languages do not require them in Haskell, due to Haskell's lazy semantics. Abuse of the Continuation monad can produce code that is impossible to understand and maintain. -} module Control.Monad.Cont ( -- * MonadCont class MonadCont.MonadCont(..), MonadCont.label, MonadCont.label_, -- * The Cont monad Cont.Cont, Cont.cont, Cont.runCont, Cont.evalCont, Cont.mapCont, Cont.withCont, -- * The ContT monad transformer Cont.ContT(ContT), Cont.runContT, Cont.evalContT, Cont.mapContT, Cont.withContT, -- * Example 1: Simple Continuation Usage -- $simpleContExample -- * Example 2: Using @callCC@ -- $callCCExample -- * Example 3: Using @ContT@ Monad Transformer -- $ContTExample -- * Example 4: Using @label@ -- $labelExample ) where import qualified Control.Monad.Cont.Class as MonadCont import qualified Control.Monad.Trans.Cont as Cont {- $simpleContExample Calculating length of a list continuation-style: >calculateLength :: [a] -> Cont r Int >calculateLength l = return (length l) Here we use @calculateLength@ by making it to pass its result to @print@: >main = do > runCont (calculateLength "123") print > -- result: 3 It is possible to chain 'Cont' blocks with @>>=@. >double :: Int -> Cont r Int >double n = return (n * 2) > >main = do > runCont (calculateLength "123" >>= double) print > -- result: 6 -} {- $callCCExample This example gives a taste of how escape continuations work, shows a typical pattern for their usage. >-- Returns a string depending on the length of the name parameter. >-- If the provided string is empty, returns an error. >-- Otherwise, returns a welcome message. >whatsYourName :: String -> String >whatsYourName name = > (`runCont` id) $ do -- 1 > response <- callCC $ \exit -> do -- 2 > validateName name exit -- 3 > return $ "Welcome, " ++ name ++ "!" -- 4 > return response -- 5 > >validateName name exit = do > when (null name) (exit "You forgot to tell me your name!") Here is what this example does: (1) Runs an anonymous 'Cont' block and extracts value from it with @(\`runCont\` id)@. Here @id@ is the continuation, passed to the @Cont@ block. (1) Binds @response@ to the result of the following 'Control.Monad.Cont.Class.callCC' block, binds @exit@ to the continuation. (1) Validates @name@. This approach illustrates advantage of using 'Control.Monad.Cont.Class.callCC' over @return@. We pass the continuation to @validateName@, and interrupt execution of the @Cont@ block from /inside/ of @validateName@. (1) Returns the welcome message from the 'Control.Monad.Cont.Class.callCC' block. This line is not executed if @validateName@ fails. (1) Returns from the @Cont@ block. -} {-$ContTExample 'ContT' can be used to add continuation handling to other monads. Here is an example how to combine it with @IO@ monad: >import Control.Monad.Cont >import System.IO > >main = do > hSetBuffering stdout NoBuffering > runContT (callCC askString) reportResult > >askString :: (String -> ContT () IO String) -> ContT () IO String >askString next = do > liftIO $ putStrLn "Please enter a string" > s <- liftIO $ getLine > next s > >reportResult :: String -> IO () >reportResult s = do > putStrLn ("You entered: " ++ s) Action @askString@ requests user to enter a string, and passes it to the continuation. @askString@ takes as a parameter a continuation taking a string parameter, and returning @IO ()@. Compare its signature to 'runContT' definition. -} {-$labelExample The early exit behavior of 'Control.Monad.Cont.Class.callCC' can be leveraged to produce other idioms: > whatsYourNameLabel :: IO () > whatsYourNameLabel = evalContT $ do > (beginning, attempts) <- label (0 :: Int) > liftIO $ putStrLn $ "Attempt #" <> show attempts > liftIO $ putStrLn $ "What's your name?" > name <- liftIO getLine > when (null name) $ beginning (attempts + 1) > liftIO $ putStrLn $ "Welcome, " ++ name ++ "!" Calling @beggining@ will interrupt execution of the block, skipping the welcome message, which will be printed only once at the very end of the loop. -}

Skryclad: Clothed In Visions
Observations of the light and the dark of what is, was, and might be in the Pagan community's expansion and evolution.
Three Knots
Dear readers I hope you'll forgive me for not posting as frequently to this blog as I would like to. I'm in the midst of finishing my next book, and have a heavy teaching and ritual schedule for the next several months. The blog post after this one will return to the topic of the mechanics of how rituals can be done from a distance. I did feel moved by a third degree initiation that just occurred this past weekend to quickly share a few thoughts.
Our initiatory system is somewhat different from many Wiccan and Pagan traditions in that the prospective initiate is allowed to invite people to the ritual regardless of their level of initiation or the path they follow. Although there are ritual components that must be a part of each level of initiation, we write unique initiatory rituals for each individual. The Assembly of the Sacred Wheel is a mystery tradition and as such the transformative experience of the initiate cannot be lessened by sharing certain details. We do not rely upon secrecy to create the experience. The mysteries protect themselves. A few of the attendees at this most recent initiation asked me a few questions which prompted this blog post. In our Tradition, the third degree is the level at which someone becomes a High Priestess or High Priest, clergy within our system. At the first degree and the second degree there are specific pledges that are required of the initiate. It is only at the third degree that the initiate is required to give oaths. The giving of pledges is certainly a serious matter, but for us oaths are a solemn and binding affair. That is why we do not require oaths until the person is at a place where they are committing to be clergy within our Tradition.
One of the questions posed to me by an attendee was that it seemed to them that two of the three required oaths appeared to be the same. The oaths at our third degree initiation are:
What oath do you make to the Assembly of the Sacred Wheel?
What oath do you make to the Great Ones (God/dess/es)?
What oath do you make to the path of Wicca?
I can readily understand their confusion in thinking that the oath to the Assembly was one in the same as the oath to the path of Wicca. We see our Tradition as being but one among many Traditions. We also see ourselves as members individually and collectively of multiple communities. Since it is a significant part of our mission to do work not just for our own betterment but for that of these multiple communities, we have the expectation that our clergy be honor bound through their oath to consider the impact of their actions on the whole of Wicca. Of course, we are mindful of the fact that we are part of a much broader ecology of magico-religious systems, but our nearest kin are other Wiccans.
A third knot is placed in the newly made High Priest/ess's cord and the three knots act as magickal, social, and psychological reminders of the oaths that were made. All those present in the ritual also bear responsibility in the remembrance of the oaths and also experience their own personal change in contemplating the words chosen by the initiate. One of the reasons that our initiations include people at various levels of magickal and spiritual development, and people that are non-members is that the act of witnessing the ritual has a catalytic effect on all those present. Each initiation thereby becomes a moment of growth for the community as a whole. Being in the presence of someone who is being transformed encourages transformation for all who gaze upon it.

I am not sure why the picture is so dark, but you can see that it is a rather large kitchen, especially for Germany. There's our new dishwasher, a gas oven/stove, and our washing machine (Germans often have them in their kitchens, which seems like a weird place to wash your clothes, but since there is no other place in the building to put it, we had no choice). The built-in cabinets we bought from the previous tenants because there is a wacky custom here that when you move, you bring your own kitchen. If we had not bought everything from them, we would've been faced with a completely empty room!! That means NOTHING, not even a light bulb.
Here's another view:
What a tiny freezer (on the bottom of the fridge) - it was the biggest I could find at the time and it's always packed. But it's nice to finally have the cabinet space to store boxes upon boxes of cereal at least :) One of the things I love most about the USA? The seemingly endless cereal aisle. The TSA guys who inspect my suitcases must think I am a nut bringing back so many boxes of Quaker Oat Squares, Rice Chex, Post Great Grains Crunchy Pecan and Yogurt Burst Cherrios (for Daniel).

excellent quality -
josue c.
Quality is superb. I was thinking of buying the weathertek mats but I saw that they were a bit pricey. Then I came across Husky mats and I decided to give them a chance and I am impressed of the quality of them mats. I really like them and the fitment is tight which is a good thing! It fits snug all around the areas so that the garbage and debris doesn't get into the actually carpet. The quality is very similar to the weathertech. I didn't get paid to do this review either, it really is a good brand and a great product. Thank you Husky!

Truck mats for my vehicles -
Albert P.
I have bought Husky mats for all my trucks. Absolutely love them. The last ones I ordered were for my daughters new Bronco. I always recommend them to my friends. Far superior to all other brands.
Look great as always! -
Max O.
Bought these for my parents minivan. The original carpet mats were starting to show wear. They fit great and clean up real easy. Have had Husky liners in several vehicles over last 20 yrs and they clean easier and look better than their also excellent much advertised competitor I had purchased for my dad for his truck on Christmas a couple years ago. The only reason I had bought those was that the WeatherBeater series is not made for that model ('05-'21 Frontier) only the original diamond plate style. The original style Huskies served me well in an '03 VUE years ago well but the newer style ones trap the sand here in FL in their grooves so much better
All season mats -
Ronald K.
Very happy and pleased. Mats stay secure and wipe clean easily
Sam W.
I am very pleased with my Husky mats. I have them in both my vehicles.
Susan H.
Fit Perfectly very satisfied with my weather beater liner's
2024 Equinox Floor Mats -
Purchased these for my wife's new vehicle. They fit amazing, work as intended, and are being put to use in this stormy TX weather. Install is a breeze, so don't worry if you're not mechanically trained. Pull out your old ones, pop in these beauties, and admire.
Subaru Crosstrek -
Joe F.
I love these floor mats and the fit perfect in my 2020 Subaru Crosstrek I have them in my other vehicle also that's why I wanted them for my Subaru
Very Satisfied -
Wanda T.
The mats arrived on time and fit my vehicle perfectly with no gaps. My brother ordered another popular brand but his had gaps - he then replaced those with the Husky brand. If you are on the fence take the plunge, you won't be disappointed.

A middle-aged man, identified as Mallam Yusuf Bala, on Sunday at Singer Market, Fagge Local Government Area of Kano State forfeited his five-year-old son for a bag of rice.
According to an eyewitness account, Bala approached the rice dealer, Alhaji Suleiman Bagudu, to buy a bag of rice, which he carried home but left his son, with a promise to rush home to bring the money for the foodstuff.
This, he said, was because the money on him was not enough to pay for the bag of rice, selling for N14,000 per 50kg bag.
However, six hours after, the said man failed to show up as promised to settle the rice dealer and collect his son.
According to the source, the rice dealer became suspicious, following the Bala's prolonged absence, a situation that prompted the trader to interrogate the toddler he left behind.
On interrogation, the five-year-old boy innocently led the rice dealer to their home, located at the abattoir area of Koki in Dala Local Government Area of the state.
Despite expressing embarrassment when the rice dealer arrived his home, alongside his child, Bala openly confessed that he was financially handicapped, hence his unbecoming conduct by abandoning his son as a last resort.
Shortly after listening to Bala's explanation, the rice dealer donated the bag of rice to him and handed over the boy to his father.
When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer, Kano State Police Command, DSP Musa Magaji Majia, said the incident had not been reported to him, promising to brief the press as soon as the aggrieved party reported the incident.
