Establishing a Proper Relation to the Mind
by Michael Nagel
Published: The Journal of Esoteric Psychology, Volume 4, Number 3, Summer 2008
As the disciple crosses the threshold of the Ashram, a brother calls to him.
"Would you please explain the meaning of this esoteric point?" the brother asks, baiting the disciple.
Ripe with book learning and able to cite volume and page number, the disciple proceeds to expound with remarkable brilliance. His words tumble forth with a rapidity and comprehensiveness that leaves no nuance of esoteric understanding mistaken or unspoken.
As he elaborates, Another, whose back has been turned to him throughout the disciple's exposition, very slowly turns to face the so knowledgeable disciple. Their eyes meet.
From the vastness of the Other's silence of Being, there pours forth such compassion that the disciple's torrent of words slows to a mumbling trickle. And then just stops. Stunned, the disciple relaxes into silence and into Love.
The Need to Establish a Proper Relation to the Mind
"The Mind is the great Slayer of the Real," (1) says H. P. Blavatsky. "Let the Disciple slay the Slayer." Of course, what is asked of us is not that we do away with the mind. Instead we are asked to establish a proper relation to the mind.
If the mind of humanity is indeed awakening in this era, then the establishing a proper relation to the mind is an urgent challenge that humanity faces. For the misuse of the mind results in such thought-forms as religious and political fundamentalism which many persons consider more precious than life and civilization itself.
Establishing a proper relation to mind is a task with which esotericists also need to grapple. The misuse of the mind sometimes expresses itself in what could be termed new age fundamentalism. The same fundamentalist misuses of mind can cloak themselves in a new age garb also. Like "Bible Thumpers," esotericists can thump "Treatise on Cosmic Fire", citing page and verse whereupon "DK says…." Yet in so doing, like the disciple in the preface to this article, we may miss the point of the Teaching, the Mind, and perhaps Life itself.
We esotericists can contribute subjectively to humanity's resolving its evolutionary dilemma of establishing a proper relation to the mind by ourselves doing so. Were we to try, there are at least four points which would be helpful for us to consider.
Words are Symbols Only
Truth neither can be found in, nor expressed by words or thought. Just as a two-dimensional being cannot comprehend three dimensions, so too words cannot depict the ineffable multi-dimensional Mystery in which we live and move and have our Being. "The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao," (2) Lao-Tze, the founder of Taoism, long ago warned.
A word is a mere symbol. Every symbol is an abstraction – a caricature of the living, rich, multi-textured, directly experienced Truth that is Being. The word "rose" reveals nothing of the immediacy of experiencing the preciousness of Being intimately revealing itself in your moment as roots, stem, thorns, leaves, the texture of petals, colors, and fragrance. If we haven't a proper relation to mind, then we may mistake the word symbol "rose" to be of greater value than the direct experience.
A teacher's civilization, culture, language, education, upbringing, and personal history affect how her living experience will be expressed in the word symbols of her teaching. The minds through which Alice Bailey, Helena Roerich, and Helena Blavatsky perceived their inspirations were products of their times. Implicitly the personal history of those minds influenced the perception of and linguistic representation of their inspirations. And so the Teaching that finds itself encoded as words can only be an approximation of the experiential actuality to which it points. At best those influences upon a teacher's perception combine to offer a Teaching whose words are symbolic representations that skillfully guide a disciple to unfold within his own experiencing awareness the discrimination of an aspect of Being not previously known to him.
We establish the proper relation to the mind in part by understanding that the thoughts and Teachings with which we identify are not the Truth, they are only symbols. Just as the Zen analogy of the finger pointing at the moon is not the moon, so too the words that comprise the Teaching are just jumbles of letters, they are not the lived experience which the Teaching encourages us to discover.
Truth is a Living Experience
When the disciple does experience an unfolding of the nature of Being within his own discriminating awareness, his experience will not be one of words. Words are forms, forms of thought, "thought-forms." Instead the disciple will simply experience with the immediacy of bare awareness Being revealing itself. He knows, directly experiencing the formless. Words come later.
Knowing in this direct, experiential manner is the difference between standing in awe of a sunset's majesty and a friend reading your postcard which describes that sunset which you experienced. It is the difference between experiencing a rose and seeing a photograph of a rose. There is direct experiencing, and there is conveying by word forms of knowledge about the experience. The experience of knowing is one of immediacy, of immersion in formless (bare of conceptualization), direct apprehension; by definition it is without words.
This distinction between direct experience and mental conception is not esoteric. Try this experiment: listen just as closely as you can to this moment's sounds and silences within your very own environment. Really listen. For you to listen to your environment, your mind's chatter or ideation has to stop. What is left is bare experiencing. How you might describe your experience is conceptualization.
We establish a proper relation to the mind when we understand that living Truth is not to be found in words, but in the direct, bare, formless, living experience of the Eternal Now. Here in the Now, the Disciple transcends the superfluosness of words, and comes to rest in the experiential immediacy of Being. For want of a better choice of words, we might then understand the Teaching to be a relative truth; the experience is living Truth.
Knowing, not Believing; Finding, not Seeking
In this light, to establish a proper relation to the mind requires not only that we disidentify from the thought-forms by which the Teaching seeks to convey knowledge about an intended direct experience, but also it requires that we seek our own direct experience of Truth.
To do so requires that we disidentify from the authority of the Teaching and the Teacher, and instead we become our own authorities, based upon our own direct experience. It asks that we cease being believers, and start being Knowers. Believers attest to the reportage of others. Knowers affirm from their own direct experience. Where would we ever hope to find Truth, if not from within the direct experiencing of our very own streams of consciousness?
To seek direct experience in and through one's self and to value the authority of one's own experience over the reportage of another is in psychological parlance to bring the locus of control within one's Self. This is a basic step of psycho-spiritual maturation. It is the psychological equivalent of the Protestant Reformation wherein the individual assumed from the Church the authority to interpret The Bible with the light of her own soul.
Even the Teachings calls us to this attainment. In Hercules', the universal disciple's, development, there comes a time when, as he readies for another Labor, he warns a new Teacher:
"One thing, O Teacher, I must tell you and thus deceive you not. The fact is not so long ago I slew all those who taught me in the past. I killed my teachers, and in my search for liberty, I now stand free. I seek to know myself, within myself, and through myself."
Imagine the sacrilege of killing your Teacher whom once you esteemed! Not just one murder of a revered teacher, but many! And how does the new Teacher respond to the audacity of Hercules' declaration of treachery?
"My son, that was a deed of wisdom, and now you can stand free. Proceed to labour now…" (3)
Nicholas Roerich too alludes to this stage of development when she notes that the disciple must leave the bazaar (of conventional knowledge and callings), and enter into the wilderness of the undiscovered self to become a Lion in the Desert. H. P. Blavatsky too suggests this imperative of psychological autonomy:
The Philosophy of that law in Nature, which implants in man as well as in every beast a passionate, inherent, and instinctive desire for freedom and self-guidance, pertains to psychology and cannot be touched on now …. Perhaps the best synthesis of this feeling is found in three lines in Milton's Paradise Lost. Says the "Fallen One": –
"Here we may reign secure; and in my choice,
To reign is worth ambition, though in Hell!
Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven …."
Better be man, the crown of terrestrial production and king over its opus operatum, than be lost among the will-less spiritual Host in Heaven. (4)
It is the very Teaching we revere that calls us – more explicitly, calls you, reader, – to kill the authority of the Teaching in deference to that evolutionary duty to know Truth not by words, but directly Truth 'within thyself, and through thyself'.
Therefore we establish a proper relation to the mind when we understand that being a human endowed with Mind extends to each of us not the occasion to believe others' reportage, but rather the right and the duty that we ourselves become Knowers. The Teaching is not given to gather believers; it is given to foment Knowers. It is not about being a seeker of Truth, but a finder of truth. Neither "DK says," nor "Roerich says," nor "Blavatsky says," but rather, I say, you say.
If We Have Not Love
Were we to spend our precious spiritual seeking in culling citations in proof of this or that esoteric point, we might miss the point of knowing. Were we to spend our lives in search only of knowing, perhaps we might miss the point of existence. For to excerpt St. Paul (First Corinthians, 13:2), "And though I … understand all mysteries, and all knowledge… and have not charity, I am nothing."
And so, we establish a proper relation to the mind when we understand that what is to be known is ultimately a revelation of Love.

Llaenawc, King of Elmet
(Born c.AD 475)
(Welsh: Llaennog; Latin: Lennocus; English: Leonard)
Llaenawc was the son of King Masguid Gloff (apparently of Elmet). John Morris has suggested that he was the founder of an early 6th century British Kingdom based on Lennox in Southern Scotland: the man giving his name to the town (Morris 1973). There is, however, no evidence to support this theory, and the association of his son, Gwallawc Marchawc Trin, with Elmet would indicate that this was Llaenawc's real kingdom.

What Doctors Want You to Know But May Not Tell You
Sharon D. Allison-Ottey, MD
I asked doctors from all over the country to tell me what they would tell YOU, the patient, if they could be open and honest. I promised that I would keep comments confidential upon request. Here is what they said, these are eye opening (and sometimes funny—they chose how they would be identified)
The Question: "If you could tell a patient ONE thing openly, honestly about their health (clinical or not) what would it be?"
(A few responses from doctors; you'll find them all in the book "Is That Fried Chicken Wing Worth It?")
"Stop LYING, you and I know that you're NOT exercising and that you're eating everything but the kitchen sink--it's not water weight it's FAT." --I'm Fat too MD
"What part of no do you not understand, the 'N' or the 'O'. To all of my drug seekers." --NCMD
"Don't call and ask for a back to work slip if you've missed your last three appointments have a balance and haven't been seen in my office in 2 years. Don't bother with the call." --Doctor What Do You Think This Is?
"Take care of your parents as they get older. They took care of you and now it's your time. Be patient and don't be mean to them---what happens when your kids treat you bad." --Geriatrician
"Don't give me a sob story about not having your $25 copay when you drive a car that is newer than mine and you come into my office wearing Ferragamo shoes. It's an insult to me, my profession and my office." --Tired Doc
"Don't stop me in the grocery store or at the mall and go into details about your health. I am trying to enjoy my one or two days off and I'll smile but I really am getting pissed off; especially if I'm with my family. Respect my time."--I Have a LIFE MD
"Don't' tell me that you're taking your medications every day and following a low fat, low salt diet when I ask you if you need refills and you don't and you've gained 15 pounds. A big hint is that I only give you enough pills for 90 days and unless it's been less than that—you are NOT taking the medications every day. I'm not stupid!" --Doc that Cares
"People be careful with your partners. I had a 32 year old patient with HIV who had just given birth. When repeatedly asked if her partner knew---she said NO! I am the girlfriend. He and his wife will eventually find out! I was disgusted!!!" --OB/GYN
"A pill is a medicine, whether I prescribe it or you buy it at a health food store or from your cousin. Tell me what you are taking. I won't judge you; I'm just trying to keep you healthy." --A Doc that believes in holistic medicine but not craziness
"The EMERGENCY Dept/Room is for EMERGENCIES. Don't come with an ingrown toenail and then get mad when you have to wait for 4 hours to be seen." --ER Doc
"We really are not rich and if we are it is NOT from patient care." --Primary Care MD
"Take a Bath!" --(Several MDs including Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, OB/GYN, Urologists and Colorectal Surgeons)
"If I write a prescription or order a test and your insurance company denies it. Yell at them, not at my staff and certainly not at me. If I write it or order it—why would I deny it?" --Fed up MD
"Viagra is not the cure for being a bad lover. It doesn't make you "last longer" and it doesn't make your penis grow. You also probably don't need it before age 50 and certainly not at 25 years old with no other medical conditions. If I say no, that's really what I mean…NO." --Internist
"I don't make any more money from writing you a prescription or ordering a test. I really do have your best interest at heart. Respect me as the professional that I am and I will respect you as the patient that you are."--Family Medicine
"Take care of yourself so that you can take care of others." --Dr. H Brooklyn, NY
"Doctors are human and we make mistakes. Just because I made a mistake or didn't diagnose you the first minute that I saw you doesn't mean that I'm a bad doctor. Don't tell everybody what I did wrong, unless you will allow me to tell them what YOU did wrong or the details of your history. We're both human, I try my best and I'm darned good at what I do." --Human MD
"Just because you read it on the internet doesn't make it right. We can talk about it and I'll give you my opinion and reasons for your treatment. I invite you to get a second opinion—from a DOCTOR not your keyboard." --Internist
"Don't starve yourself the day before you come to the office in an effort to try get your sugar/glucose level down. The hemoglobin A1C tells me what you've been doing for the last 3 months. It's not about getting the number right for me—it's about your health." --Diabetes Doc
"Be on time for your appointment; don't assume that I'm going to be late. On the other hand, if I'm running late it is usually because I am giving more care to someone in need. I'm not just watching television. If you understand that then when it's your time maybe the next person will understand. I am committed to my patients, not the clock on the wall." --I Do Care, MD
"I've seen and heard it all; you're not going to shock me and I'm not judging you. Tell me the truth and let's handle it." --Truth Works MD
"Every day I begin with prayer in my office for you. Every night I end my day in prayer for you and your families. I would hope that you would remember me in your prayers. I believe that being a physician is a calling from God and although I may not openly talk about it—I ask for His guidance. Some Doctors are Christians too." --Just an Instrument MD
"You get what you pay for, if you get the cheapest insurance policy from your job or wherever; you coverage is going to be limited. Spend time understanding your insurance coverage and remember that I am YOUR doctor and will do what's right for you—not for your insurance company. Sometimes you will need to invest more in your health." --Concerned Doc
"Raise your kids' right so they don't tear up my office. You may think that "Little Johnny's" temper tantrum is cute but it's not; he's in training to be a terrorist." --Pediatrician
"Get your priorities right. You have no problem paying for Botox but when I tell you that you need to have a biopsy on a mole you want to know how much your insurance will cover and if it's necessary. Seriously you need to think about it." --Dermatologist with a Conscious
"No matter what your husband says you CAN"T get gonorrhea from a toilet seat. He's lying and you're stupid to believe him." --I Love My Job MD
"Pay me without me having to send you over to the collections department. If your insurance company or whomever sends you a check for your care then PAY ME. You pay everyone else, why not the office that takes care of your health? If you can't pay it all, pay SOMETHING and don't get mad when my staff asks for the money. This office does not run off of "love", we have to pay rent, staff, water, lights, other bills and my kids need to eat too." --Broke MD
"You are what you eat, "Junk In equals Junk Out" for you and your kids." --Family Doc
"Being mean and nasty to my staff gets you nowhere. Respect them, tell me if there's a problem but don't treat them like dirt. They are your direct connection to me." --Dr. K
"Don't threaten me with a lawsuit when I don't do what you ask me to do. I am not a vending machine; I am a professional and will give you the best care that I can. This is not a drive thru restaurant wherein you study the menu at home and then come in demanding prescriptions, tests or whatever. Let's have a discussion and just like you decide what you will do; I will decide what I professionally think is right. If you can't agree with that PLEASE find another doctor." --Internal Medicine
"Don't ask me if your husband or wife is cheating. Ask them and no I can't give you a copy of their medical records without their consent." --Chicago Doc
"I really do care about YOU, my patient. But I need for you to care about me as a professional. I do have a life outside of medicine and although I am on call after hours it really is for urgent issues. Don't call me to talk about a cold at 11pm when you could have come into the office that day or wait until the morning. It really is inconsiderate." --Family Medicine
"A Thank YOU would be nice." --Unappreciated MD

I founded the charity Rewards Project, committed to changing how we reward our children, which I am particularly passionate about because I have three children. As a parent I am fed up of fending off the sugar pushed to them. Everyone needs recognition but it doesn't need to be food or sugar to motivate people. I have put together a team of Dentists, Doctors, Nutritionists and Psychologists to set up the Rewards Project. We are transforming the way we reward our children so this behaviour is not modelled into adulthood. We work with teachers in schools and nurseries, initial finding out when sugar comes into contact with the children through our Rewards Review.
My book Brush, about work life balance and running a successful business, is a number one best seller on Amazon with all the profits going to the charity Dentaid.

American Households Seeing More Benefits from Trump Tax Cuts
Americans who waited until the last day to pay their taxes online got a surprise: The IRS website to make payments and access other Key services is down, it crashed.
The IRS still expects Americans to pay their taxes but US Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin says extensions will be granted to those impacted when the site is up again.
The IRS said in a statement that "certain IRS systems are experiencing technical difficulties." It also said that at this point, the problem appeared to be a hardware issue.
President Trump's economic advisor Larry Kudlow said he expects Americans will see more benefits from the new tax law as the year progresses.
"We're just getting started," Mr. Kudlow told reporters.
"You've got child tax credits you're doubling, the doubling of the standard deduction, you've got lower income tax rates, you've got lower business tax rates," he said.
Businesses have been the biggest beneficiary so far because the lower corporate tax rate is allowing them to invest, Mr. Kudlow declared.
"The biggest winner right now is business investment," he said.
"That is huge. Equipment, technology, software and so forth, factories. That's where the real nuts and bolts of this thing, the incentives at a lower business tax rate, both large and small."
To be sure, President Trump took to Twitter to tout the economy and his sweeping tax cuts.
"So many people are seeing the benefits of the Tax Cut Bill. Everyone is talking, really nice to see!" President Trump tweeted

For any worker, being patronized, stereotyped, maligned and mistreated can be crushing, demeaning and hurtful. Such feelings are compounded when you are an older worker. Age discrimination is alive and well in the American workplace, but not enough has been done to combat something so destructive to a person's soul or his or her livelihood.
Age discrimination is illegal and can surface in a number of ways. You've been asked to vacate your office to work in an open space or cube. You now must share a computer with others, or you've been demoted to a position with no sick pay or benefits. Or you're called age-related epithets.
This type of discrimination -- essentially a retaliation -- affects your job duties, pay, working conditions, promotions, training and, eventually retirement benefits. In a 2013 survey that questioned 1,500 older workers, the AARP disclosed that 92 percent stated that discrimination against older workers was "very" or "somewhat" common.
Complaints reached nearly 21,000
Age discrimination complaints filed with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission reached 20,857 in 2016, the most recent year such numbers were available. It marked the ninth straight year that such claims topped 20,000.
While the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 was designed to curb such discrimination, it has proven to be limiting due to a number of loopholes and the fact that it's been undercut by some U.S. Supreme Court rulings.
If that's not discouraging to learn, there's even more if you choose to pursue legal action.
Difficult to prove
Age discrimination cases are difficult to prove because rarely does a definitive moment surface showing that a company has made a hostile move to get rid of or demote an older worker. Instead, employers will cite other reasons such as cost-cutting or reorganization. These longtime workers some of whom are age 50 or older, are the ones who have higher salaries and better benefit plans.
More Americans are staying in the workplace longer. But along the way, we are finding out that some companies just aren't that welcoming to an experienced staff. Many older workers are being mistreated.
Don't be disheartened. Stand up for yourself. If you feel that you're being discriminated against because of your age, document each incident. Also, find out if there are others in your workplace facing similar situations. You also may consider taking legal action.

Rail staff were put to the test as they guided passengers through tunnels and emergency slides during their busiest hours.
Over the years, Japan's rail network has shown us time and time again just how clean, courteous, and efficient a transport system can be. But while rail staff play their part in maintaining a sense of clockwork-precision on the rails, passengers play their part too, patiently dealing with crowded conditions and politely respecting rules of common courtesy while travelling from A to B.
This cooperative spirit was out on full display yesterday, as Osaka was struck by its strongest tremor in decades – an earthquake measuring a lower 6 on the Japanese seismic scale of 7. Occurring at 7:58 a.m., right in the middle of the country's peak-hour period, trains in the affected regions were immediately forced to an emergency halt for safety reasons, stranding passengers inside carriages for hours and causing extensive delays to services.

As staff conducted safety checks on the train lines, commuters shared stories of events as they happened online, with some people tweeting from their seats. This passenger on the Tokaido Shinkansen bound for Osaka mentioned that they had made an emergency stop in Gifu Prefecture, with power cut on the train, leaving them unable to use the toilets.

Some passengers, however, found themselves walking along the railway tracks in a very different environment. After a three-hour wait in a train that had made an emergency stop in the middle of a tunnel, these passengers had a long way to walk towards the light.

Though some passengers were understandably frustrated at being trapped inside a train for up to three hours on their morning commute, most were breathing a sigh of relief that nothing worse had happened.
While the seats on these trains were being used as slides to guide passengers to safety, the seats on the Shinkansen have been designed for a very different story.

Alright ska-punk fans, I've got a new band you need to add to your radar! Grand Rapids, Michigan's Three Cents Short just came to my attention with their 2 song teaser EP for what looks like an album called "The State Of Things" and I am sufficiently fired up to hear more from these dudes. It looks like "The State Of Things" isn't too far out from being released so I highly recommend you give these 2 tracks a listen to legitimately say you knew the band before they got big.

Our intention is to get help our prospects decide to buy, volunteer, opt-in, etc.
We want them to make a decision that is good for us and also good for them.
We attempt to use facts and figures to manipulate the prospect. And as we know, that doesn't work well.
Well a decision is actually a process, not a thing.
The word decision comes from the verb to decide. We want the customer deciding to use our services.
When you remember that deciding is a process, you'll get better at influencing decisions.
"All our final decisions are made in a state of mind that is not going to last." – Marcel Proust
Tweet This
When programming a computer, decisions are obvious. The software has to run a series of loops and options that compare one result against another (Programmers please forgive me for dumbing it down. I am copy/paste coder.).
Your computer runs through series of comparisons. It compares what's going on now to see if something is true. If it is it does one thing. If it's not true it does another.
Your computer is logical. It doesn't ever think, "This might work, so let's go with that route." It is always thinking yes or no. True or false.
The (Lack Of) Human Logic
Humans are different.
Humans compare with emotions. Humans are who buy from you.
We experience 50 shades of "Yes."
We experience 50 shades of "No."
And another 50 shades of "Maybe."
People aren't rational. Our logic is flawed. Extremely flawed.
Which means the things we use to compare decisions is screwy. So…
If You Want To Change Someone's Decision Change The Comparison
Truthiness is what Steven Colbert called it.
Truthiness is the truth we feel in our gut and what feels right. It's not based in reality, facts, or logic.
We're influenced by different shades of truthiness.
Tweet This
He frames it as a bad thing. But it's how we make decisions.
Facts are hard to change. They're concrete things. They're static. Usually.
And the relationship to facts are flexible. Bendable.
And that's where things get fun.
That's where you have leverage. It's where you begin to realize there is no real reality. Or no spoon, as Neo discovered.
Everything is a comparison.
You compare dinner plans against cooking at home, cleaning up, and the price to go out. Then you compare one restaurant against another based on types of food, distance to drive, health factors, and other things.
Your customer compares you against the competition. Against other items he wants to buy. Against sitting on his lazy ass and watching TV.
It's your job to change these.
It can be as simple pointing out the significant costs of repairs after buying a cheaper product vs the slightly larger cost of buying your product, which has better guarantees.
It could be creating price options of small monthly payments vs a larger paid-in-full option.
They're all different shades of truthiness.
And it's easier to change the comparison than the facts.

HAVERFORD, Pa. – The Haverford College softball team fell victim to a 1-0 walk-off in eight innings against second-seeded Dickinson on Friday afternoon. The Red Devils (23-16) got a no-hit shutout from Madison Milaszweski ahead of Kristen Acocella delivering a two-out RBI knock in the bottom of the eighth. Milaszweski's no-hitter was just the fourth in the history of the Centennial Conference Tournament.
With today's results, Dickinson will advance to the game six of the conference tournament where it will await the winner of Haverford and Swarthmore as those two rivals begin Saturday with an elimination game at 11 a.m. for the right to play in the championship. In addition to game five, the Fords or Garnet would have to beat the Red Devils in back-to-back games to capture the Centennial Conference Championship. Swarthmore used a three-run rally in the top of the seventh inning during its elimination game victory over Ursinus to eliminate the Bears from the tournament by a 6-5 final.
Despite being contested on the Class of '95 Field, Dickinson played this game as the home team and batted second after winning the coin flip. Haverford had its best chance of the game in the first inning as Julia Blake was hit by pitch and Nicole Swisher walked to put a pair of runners on base with nobody out.
However, from that point on Milaszewski retired 24 batters in a row before her side was able to scratch across a run against Temma Levis who was also up for the pitcher's duel. Haverford's hardest hit balls of the day came off the bat of Ashley Sisto as she had likely extra bases taken away from her by the right fielder and centerfielder during her first two at-bats.
In what was a rematch of the 1-0 Haverford win when Levis and Milaszewski faced off in the regular season, Friday's game saw Levis retire the first eight batters she faced before an error and single put two Red Devils on base in the third. Levis got out of that frame with a grounder to short before retiring nine of the next 10 batters.
The Red Devils put the potential game-winning run on base to start the seventh inning as the leadoff batter was hit by pitch before being bunted into scoring position. She was eventually stranded on third. The Red Devils started the eighth inning with just their second hit of the day as Marisa Fabbo doubled into the right centerfield gap. That runner was also sacrificed over to third base with just one out before Bridget Gutpelet singled on a 1-2 pitch back through the middle to plate the game-winning run.
Levis finished as tough luck loser in a battle of two of the conference's best pitchers. The Fords' junior captain went 7.1 innings and allowed just three total hits while striking out three. Milaszewski went eight innings and struck out eight while allowing a hit by pitch and walk to the first two batters of the game. She needed just 79 pitches to record the no-hitter.

While the frame material of choice, these days, may be carbon, alloy frame technology has come a long way, especially when you look at the Women's Epic Comp with our D'Aluisio Smartweld technology. With it, you get a frame that's nearly as light as our carbon offerings, a tremendous component spec, and plenty of jingle jangle left over in your pocket for race entries.
Race courses have evolved over the past few years. They're more technical, steeper, and more challenging to ride. But instead of quivering in our boots, we saw this as an opportunity to make something special—something that both World Cup athletes and XC riders alike can instantly feel the benefit from. We looked at the sum of parts that make a bike handle well, like the head angle, reach, stack, chainstay length, fork offset, etc., and reevaluated all of it. Increasing the reach made a bike that was more stable at speed and generally more comfortable to ride. Head angle? We slacked that out, but not without evaluating the overall handling package. It now lands on a custom offset, 42mm fork that works with the slacker head angle in order to behave itself in tight corners and through switchbacks.
Next comes Brain 2.0. The original Brain changed the way the bike world looked at suspension, both in its inefficiencies and benefits alike. And oh, was it good. It won races and put a flag in the ground for us as a true leader in innovation and suspension development, but we knew that we could make it better. Simple physics told us that, by moving the Brain closer to the rear axle, it would be in the most sensitive spot. And after countless hours with the RockShox team, the Brain became more than just a slight upgrade. It's totally reborn. Now, it reacts seamlessly to bump forces, it has much more consistent damping performance, and finally, it integrates the hoses into the suspension links. This, in turn, improves oil paths, and it creates an incredibly sleek package that outperforms anything on the market.
At the heart of the construction, you'll find our M5 alloy with the exclusive D'Aluisio Smartweld Technology, which strategically places more welding material where it's needed for an aluminum bike that's more compliant and considerably stiffer at nearly every tube juncture.
The build of the Women's Epic Comp Alloy is value-packed, featuring a 12-speed SRAM NX Eagle groupset, SRAM Level TL brakes, and a Roval Control Alloy wheelset. Every touch point has also been hand-selected for female riders, from the Sip Grips, to the bar width and crankarm length, all the way down to the superlative Women's Myth Sport saddle. Get ready, because this is going to be Epic.

Intrepid Woman: Stephanie Sandberg, Executive Director, Team LPAC
Stephanie Sandberg is a fan of bringing your whole self to the lunch table, or anywhere.
"There's so much energy that is consumed by not saying the things you are thinking," she says. So right up front when she was at a business lunch and someone would ask what her husband does, she would blurt out early that she was with a woman. "It helped ease the conversation and provided me a sense of wholeness," she says, in urging young gay people to be open with their reality.
A Career in Media As the Foundation for Her Current Work
Sandberg spent the first 25 years of her career in magazine publishing, working on marketing for titles like the L.A. Times, Newsweek and the New Yorker before becoming president and publisher of the New Republic and, later, executive publisher of the Columbia Journalism Review. Then she pivoted to consultant work.
After dabbling in a variety of projects, she realized she wanted to focus on one area and became interested in women's leadership and the barriers to advancement women faced at the top echelons. Sandberg joined Out Leadership on a project basis, which aligned with her interests in diversity and inclusion.
But, she found, "inclusion" was often male-dominated.
"Lesbians are underrepresented, underleveraged and don't have a voice at the table," she says. "The gay world is very similar to the straight world in how gendered it is."
So she helped the organization launch OutWOMEN, running discussion dinners to get people around the table.
"We realized that women don't come together as intentionally around professional matters," Sandberg notes, so they launched both formal and informal events. The satisfaction she derived from this work pointed her consulting in that direction, and she ended up at a holiday party for LPAC in 2018, where she learned they were looking for an executive director.
Leveraging the Voices of Gay Women
Today Sandberg heads LPAC as a political voice for the LGBTQ+ community. One of her first moves was officially shortening the name from "Lesbian Political Action Committee" to its acronym, as she found the name wasn't embraced by everyone.
Then she began leveraging what she learned at OUTWomen about how women come together. Just as she had previously discovered that women prefer to socialize differently, she learned in her early days with LPAC that LGBTQ women's political concerns are different, but rarely discussed as such. "Gay women don't always have the same priorities as gay men," she points out, adding that healthcare, choice and women's equality are paramount to gay women. "We needed to carve out a place and build a voice for this subset from the LGBTQ community and address inequalities by championing candidates who support us."
Right now her mission is to make sure the community knows about LPAC, particularly people who have the financial capacity to support the group. The biggest challenge, she finds, is building the group out to where potential donors not only know about it, but also choose it as a priority among so many worthy causes.
"If they understand that their investment is an investment in strengthening this community, and then convert that enthusiasm and awareness by including us in their giving, I will have done my job," she says.
Sandberg believes that will come as they build empirical data about how they have amplified the effect for the candidates they endorse. To that end, they launched a nonprofit group Project LPAC and have a fundraising event—Levity and Justice for All –scheduled for June 25, the only official World Pride event specifically for women.
Sandberg has the benefit of knowing the work she does will benefit her personal life, too, including for her wife of 20 years and two daughters, ages 16 and 12, but she also knows the importance of making them the focal point of her life aside from work.
"While my work is important, a broader wholeness comes from have a balance; a lot of career people find themselves too deep in the work, and while it matters, it can't at the expense of family," she says. "You have to treasure being able to have family experiences at the end of the day; my main goal is to spend that time with my girls."

Morten Hansen receives the first BMF David Dingley Memorial Award
On October 7, the BMF was proud to award FEMA's Morten Hansen with the new David Dingley Memorial Award for outstanding services to motorcycling.
Morten has contributed greatly to motorcycling through his work for FEMA and BMF's Norwegian cousin, NMCU. After many years of work, he is retiring.
Speaking about the award, Morten Hansen said: "I am so moved and so proud by this! A big thanks to all my friends and good colleagues in FEMA. It has been an honour and a true pleasure working with such fine people."
The David Dingley Memorial Award is named after BMF member David Dingley, who passed away in 2015 and contributed significantly to the BMF. Morten Hansen is the first to receive it and the award will continue to be presented to those who deserve recognition for their excellent commitment and outstanding contributions to motorcycling.
Morten was presented the award by BMF Chairman Jim Freeman.
We'll be running a more detailed account of Morten's achievements in the next issue of BMF's Motorcycle Rider magazine, which full BMF members will receive. If you're not yet a full member, you can join today for just £28 a year.
The BMF's Anna Zee spoke to Morten about motorcycling in Norway early last year. You can read the interview here.

There was great excitement in school just before Christmas and not linked to the usual festivities!
There had been reports of strange lights around Newent and when everyone arrived at school, the following Monday, huge crop circles had appeared on the school field. Whilst outside, with the children, checking for signs of pranksters or possible alien visitors we noticed television helicopters circling overhead. The Y5/6 children, who coincidently were studying space, were enthralled and instantly began coming up with theories and were inspired to write some great news articles.
It was not until after lunch, when I had caught our school caretaker chuckling in the staff room that I realised we had all been hoodwinked! Mr Mitchel had noticed the children had been studying space and thought it would be fun to sneak in over the weekend and mow some crop circles on the field!
Because the writing was so awesome I think we'll forgive him this time!
New outdoor equipment thanks to Bellway
The Federation of Newent schools received a donation of £500 from Bellway, which is building new homes nearby at Picklenash Grove, off Ross Road. The money will be used to purchase new outdoor equipment to use in the school's woodland area.
Headteacher Tony Larner said: "We are really grateful to have received this generous donation from Bellway, which will help us to develop our outdoor learning provision. The pupils love playing and learning outdoors, and we are looking forward to creating an inspiring space which the children will be able to enjoy for many years to come."
Billie Oaten, Sales Director for Bellway Wales, said: "We are committed to supporting local schools within the areas in which we build new homes. So when we found out the school were hoping to transform its outdoor play area, we were more than happy to help."

Junior Wardens
Years 5 and 6 have been taking part in the Junior Wardens Scheme with Two Rivers, the street warden team and the police.

Terrific Turnip Soup
EYFS all worked together to make turnip soup. We peeled and chopped the vegetables and put them in the pan with some stock. We then watched as the soup simmered on the hob.

The children are looking forward to Liz coming back again with another surprise next term.
15 January 2019

There was everything from handmade axes, an edible Stonehenge, military uniforms, informative posters, narrative writing and so many more really creative and inspiring pieces. Thank you to everyone, parents and children, who embraced this project and produced the most amazing display. 6 December 2018
Tree-mendous Work
Here at The Federation for Newent Schools we are passionate about outdoor learning and feel that children thrive when given plenty of opportunity to learn outside. Every child takes part in regular outdoor learning sessions led by our experienced outdoor education leader.
This term we have been developing our site and planting 420 new trees which have been donated by the Woodland Trust. Each and every child has had the chance to plant their very own sapling and will be able to watch it grow as the years go by. In years to come we will have the most amazing wooded area to learn in. 14 November 2018
Outdoor adventures
Years 3 and 4 had a fabulous time at PGL in Brecon. The children gain so much from this opportunity to spend three days (and two nights) away from home/school and really get the chance to overcome a great many personal fears and challenges. 19 October 2018
Reception Clean Hands Experiment
We did a clean hands experiment - we put Vaseline and glitter on our hands and then shook hands with our friends and watched the 'germs' spread. We then learnt how to wash our hands properly. 27 September 2018
Healthy Week: World Cup activity days
Monday 11 June - Friday 15 June was Healthy Week. The children learnt all about healthy lifestyles and most importantly getting outside and making the most of our fabulous outdoor areas. The most exciting part of the week for most was the build up to the start of the Football World Cup with our themed World Cup activity days. Children were placed in teams to complete various footballing challenges and also competed in mini-tournaments. On two separate occasions England lifted the trophy – possibly a sign of things to come!
Healthy Week: fruit kebabs
Children in Y1/2 studied the Eat Well Guide and discussed what makes for a healthy diet. Then they planned and made a healthy snack - a fruit kebab. Delicious!
Healthy Week: staying safe at the seaside
Glebe received a visit from the RNLI on Friday 15 June in preparation for the trip to Barry Island next Wednesday. Top tips for water and sun safety were shared as well as learning what the different flags mean for going into the water. Huge thanks to Fraser, RLNI Volunteer for a fantastic assembly.
Gorgeous Guinea Pigs
On Friday 25 May Years 1 and 2 were visited by some guinea pigs, and then wrote about their experience:
Today at school Poppy's mum came over with her guinea pigs. They are so cute! My favourite one was Barbie. I hope they come over again. Why did they come over? Y2
Today we got to hold very, very, very cute guinea pigs. Their names are Mitty, Luna, Dell-boy, Chocolate, Princess and Barbie. All of them love to eat grass. It was amazing! Will we get to see the guinea pigs again? Y2
We got to hold a guinea pig today. It was amazing! They were beautiful, so beautiful. Barbie was my favourite because I liked her beautiful pony tail and she is beautiful! Will I see them again? Y2
Today I met some guinea pigs. Their names are Luna, Chocolate, Mitty and Delboy, Barbie, Princess. Y1
I like the guinea pigs and the names are Chocolate, Princess, Barbie, Mitty, Luna and Delboy. Be careful because if their nails are too long they might scratch you. Guinea pigs are quiet. Y1
Royal Teddy Bears' Picnic
In celebration of the Royal Wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle we held a special Teddy Bears' Picnic on Friday 18 May. Local pre-school children and their parents joined us on Picklenash playing field.
Scintillating Science
On 2 May Y3/4/5 had a visit from Dentist Julie Simpkins to learn more about teeth and how to keep them clean. Not only did the children get to see how well they had each cleaned their own teeth; they got to see how well their teachers had cleaned theirs too! But that wasn't the best bit, they got to see and touch some real teeth from hippos, giraffes, elephants and crocodiles! The children were talking about the visit well into the afternoon and were inspired to write leaflets. A big thank you to Julie for making this so special!
Celebrating World Book Day - 1 March 2018
Our Reading Together Sessions with parents which were very popular, and were followed by some truly fantastic activities. The children responded very well to having different teachers in their class. The activities included searching for a dragon's egg, making stick men, creating a wombat stew, creating a personalised character, making clay aliens in underpants and writing postcards. The behaviour and engagement was phenomenal and the weather didn't stop us from having fun!
Great Fire of London
The long awaited burning of Years 1 and 2 replica model of London took place and inspired the writing of some incredible pieces of work. The children had painstakingly created the most wonderful Tudor houses from cereal boxes. Nearly 100 houses were fixed to a board and members of the local fire fighting team allowed the children to witness the controlled re-enactment of the Great Fire of London using their model! "It was amazing!" – Poppy, "It was jaw-dropping!" – Leo, 5 February 2018
