Change to Gmail from Google Mail
Google's email service changed its name to Gmail in the United Kingdom in 2010, and now we're called Gmail in Germany too! From now on, anybody who signs up for a new Gmail account will get an @gmail.com address instead of @googlemail.com.
If you already use Google Mail and would prefer an @gmail.com address, you have the option to change to the matching @gmail.com username. If you make this address swap, it only affects your address; your account settings, contacts, and existing mail won't change, and any mail sent to your old @googlemail.com address will automatically be redirected to your new address.
If you would like to change your @googlemail.com address to @gmail.com, just click "switch to @gmail.com" in the "Accounts" tab in your Gmail Settings (this link will only show up if you're eligible to change your address). Change your address now.
Frequently Asked QuestionsIf I change my address, how can I send and receive mail from my new address?
Once you change your address to @gmail.com, all mail you send will automatically come from your @gmail.com address. Mail you receive at either address will be delivered to your @gmail.com address.
Nothing changes! Changing your address does not create a new account, it just changes the address for your existing account. All of your existing mail and contacts will be available with your new @gmail.com address.
Yes, the matching @gmail.com address has already been reserved for you. For example, if your current address is email@example.com, and you choose to change to @gmail.com, it will become firstname.lastname@example.com.
You can only have one Google email address, but mail sent to either address (@gmail.com or @googlemail.com) will be delivered to you. You can also set up a custom 'From' address if you want to send mail as your old @googlemail.com address.
Yes. Nothing is changing about Google's webmail service except the name. If you choose not to change your address to @gmail.com, you'll still be able to sign in with your @googlemail.com address.
Yes. You will be able to change your address by going to the "Accounts" tab under Gmail Settings and clicking the "Switch email@example.com?" link next to "Send mail as:" (this link will only show up if you're eligible to change your address)
No problem. You can change your address back to @googlemail.com by going to the "Accounts" tab under Gmail Settings and clicking the "Switch email@example.com?" link under "Send mail as:" (this link will only show up if you're eligible to change your address).
Yes. You will be able to chat with any contacts who use Gmail. If you use Gmail to chat with people who don't have a Google account and are using a 3rd party chat application other than AOL, you might need to re-invite these people to chat after you change your address.
Your friends can manually update your information in their contact list if they want, but email they send to your @googlemail.com address will automatically be delivered to your new address. Additionally, your @gmail address will show up as a new contact in their address book the first time you reply to an email from your @gmail.com address, just like any contact.
If you use POP or IMAP to access Gmail on a desktop or mobile client, the change will not affect syncing. You'll still be able to send and receive mail through your client exactly as you did before.
After Gmail first launched, Google changed the name of its webmail service in the United Kingdom and Germany to "Google Mail" due to legal disputes around the use of the Gmail trademark. Those conflicts have been terminated, so we are changing the name back to Gmail, and offering @gmail.com addresses to all Google Mail. Plus, it's shorter and easier to type this way.
Known issues with changing your address
- Android:
- Application name: For now, if you use the Google Mail app on your Android device, your app will still be called Google Mail. In the coming months, we plan to release an renamed, updated Gmail app.
- Account name in sync settings: Users need to delete the Google-account from their mobile device and add it again. The removal and adding of the sync is not sufficient for the account name to change.
- Google Talk: If you use an Android device and change your address, the Google Talk app might not connect properly, but other Google applications should work fine. To fix Google Talk, you'll need to wait one day after switching your address to @gmail.com and then turn airplane mode on and then back off. After you've done this, Google Talk should work again. Note that you'll appear in Google Talk as your @gmail.com address to everyone else, even though it still shows as your @googlemail.com address on your device.
- iOS App: If you use the Google Mail iOS App, you'll need to download the Gmail iOS App to continue receiving updates.
- Offline Gmail: If you have Offline Gmail enabled and change your address, you will need to re-sync your account to use Offline again.
- Multiple sign-in: If you use multiple sign-in to sign into multiple accounts at once, you may find that your @googlemail.com address is shown as a default option when you click your profile picture in the upper right corner. Simply sign out and sign back in to fix the problem.
- Mailing Lists: If you have signed up to send mail to mailing lists on behalf of your @googlemail.com address, you might need to re-register for the group using your @gmail.com address. Google Groups will automatically accept your new address.
- Non-Gmail chat contacts: If you use Gmail to chat with people who don't have a Google account and are using a third-party chat application other than AOL, you might need to re-invite these people to chat after you change your address.
- Filters: If you've created filters that specifically use your @googlemail.com address, you'll need to edit your filters to use your @gmail.com address.
- Signature: Your signature may disappear after you switch your address to @gmail.com. Create a new one that accurately uses your @gmail.com address instead of @googlemail.com, or if you need to recover your old signature, change back to @googlemail.com.
- Chat in Google+: You may see an error that says, "Service unavailable - Error 503" in Google+ chat after switching. Fix the problem by signing out and signing back in.
- Google Groups: If Google Groups asks you to confirm that you want to receive messages in your "new address", go ahead and confirm.
- Switch in other languages: If your account isn't set to display German, the option to switch to Gmail will appear in English.
- Incorrect display of Gmail or Google Mail: It will take a few days for Google Mail to change to Gmail in your account. This means that after you switch to an @gmail.com address, you may still see the product called Google Mail instead of Gmail. Or, if you decide to stay with an @googlemail.com address, you'll gradually see that the product is called Gmail anyway.
- Switching doesn't work: If you try to change your address on the switching page and it doesn't take effect, please sign out and sign back in, then go to your settings and click "Switch to @gmail.com" again. We're also aware of an issue in which your address may not be immediately updated in the upper right corner of your Gmail page after you switch.
- G+ Messenger: Users have reported that after the switch previous messages are not accessible and that they can't send/ receive messages. There is a bug filed for this, however, no solution in sight yet. For the majority of users the messenger works as intended after roughly three days.

Tesla Co-Founder Elon Musk Pays $17 Million for a Bel Air Home
Tesla Motors TSLA 1.81 % co-founder Elon Musk has bought the Bel Air estate he's been renting for the past three years for $17 million.
The 20,248-square-foot home has six bedrooms, nine bathrooms, five fireplaces, a wine cellar that holds 1,000 bottles of wine and a two-story library. The property overlooks Bel-Air Country Club and includes a lighted tennis court, five garages, a pool and spa, gym and guest quarters.
The home, which was owned by Mitch Julis, co-founder of hedge fund Canyon Capital Advisors, was put on the market in 2008 for $27 million. Mr. Musk, who also co-founded PayPal and founded SpaceX, started renting the property in 2009. The home was built in 1990.
Listing agent Victoria Risko, of Sotheby's International Realty, says Mr. Musk decided to purchase the property so he could "customize it to his taste." Mr. Julis agreed to the sale price so long as the home closed in 2012, for capital-gains tax incentives, says a person familiar with the deal. Brian Ades, also of Sotheby's, BID -2.00 % represented Mr. Musk in the transaction.

Big Drop: Once Listed in the $30 Million Range, Wyoming Ranch Is Reduced to $14.9 Million
The asking price of a 9,800-acre Wyoming ranch owned by the ex-wife of United States Surgical founder Leon Hirsch has been reduced 24%, to $14.9 million from $19.5 million.
Outside Pinedale, the 9,700-square-foot main home has seven bedrooms, nine bathrooms and a 32-foot-long window in the living room that's about 14-feet high, offering views of the Wyoming Range. The property includes two horse stables, a riding arena, manager's home, guest cabin and a private airstrip that's longer than the runways at New York's La Guardia Airport.
The seller, Turi Josefsen, received the ranch in her divorce from Mr. Hirsch. Listing agent John Pierce, of Hall & Hall, says Ms. Josefsen is selling because she's reached a stage in her life in which she's no longer able to enjoy the property to its full extent.
The home has been on the market for several years. It had an original list price in the "$30-million range" when it was marketed by another real-estate brokerage, Mr. Pierce says.
See Me Ride: Florida Equestrian Estate With Mirrored Arena Hits the Auction Block
The Wellington, Fla., estate of the former co-owner of the Boston Celtics and New Jersey Nets is hitting the auction block in February.
Carol Cohen, the widow of Alan Cohen, has decided to auction off the equestrian property because she's "frustrated with the inability of the market to respond through the traditional process," says Trayor Lesnock, president of Platinum Luxury Auctions. The home, which was relisted in April 2011, is currently on the market for $7.5 million. It originally was listed for $9.6 million in June 2007.
An equestrian hub, Wellington is located in Palm Beach County near Royal Palm Beach. The 10-acre property has a 2,600-square-foot home with four bedrooms and 5½ bathrooms. The grounds have a 12-stall courtyard stable, a tack room and an 80-by-220-foot covered and mirrored riding arena.
Platinum Luxury Auctions will handle the Feb. 9 auction, which has a reserve price of $4 million. Property previews begin Jan. 5.
Pirates of the Caribbean: $35 Million, Treasure Chests Negotiable
A pirate-themed villa on the island of St. Thomas has listed for $35 million.
The 15,000-square-foot home with six bedrooms and eight bathrooms is located in the Preserve at Botany Bay, a 397-acre residential neighborhood on the western tip of the island. Named Whydah, after the 1700s ship of pirate "Black Sam" Bellamy, the home took four years to build and was finished earlier this month.
Listing agent Lee Steiner says the owner, who works in the finance industry, is a pirate enthusiast who designed the home as a place for "a successful retired pirate surrounded by his spoils." Authentic treasure chests, cannons and guns from actual pirate ships, along with nautical bunk beds, are displayed throughout the home. Mr. Steiner says the pirate furnishings and décor aren't included in the asking price, but are negotiable.
Built for more than $1,000 a square foot, according to Mr. Steiner, the home has a video arcade, two master suites and Carrara marble showers. The property also has a caretaker cottage with a four-car garage, an infinity-edge pool with a mosaic showing a scene of turtles, fish and mermaids, helipad access and private beach access.
Mr. Steiner, of United States Virgin Islands Sotheby's International Realty, says the owner is selling because he's spending less time in the Caribbean due to life changes.

The impact of jet fires on process equipment is critical, and it is important to examine possible design considerations that can mitigate many of the jet fire consequences.
[jet fire]
When a pressurized piping or vessel that contains
hydrocarbon gas leaks to atmosphere, it can catch fire and form
a jet fire. The impact of jet fires on process equipment is
critical, and it is important to examine possible
design considerations that can mitigate jet fire consequences.
Material alternatives and wall thickness (Wt) of the
vessel exposed to jet fire are two key parameters discussed
here. The rupture time of the process vessel in different
scenarios is also examined.

1- When developing plant layout segregate plant into "units". Critical equipment of adjacent units shall not be located within 37.5 Kw/m2 without considering depressurization i.e. model jet fires at operating pressure.2- Optimize the initial lay-out (step 1) by calculating the frequency, critical equipment of adjacent units shall not be located within 10-4/yr contour (or what ever value/ALARP limit set out by the company) for jet fire radiation contour of 37.5Kw/m2 after combined isolation and depressurization.3- Further optimization shall be considered with detailed failure analysis (as summarized in article above) if initial layouts are not acceptable/optimum.
Dave Scott
Allvery good in theory. But the reality is tougher. Once your plant's on fire, it's written off. Nothing can protect it. Just make sure the people escape. What makes a difference is prevention of ignition, and Gas Detection. So shutdown and settleout should have been intiated, peole alerted, and pipelines and Slug Catchers isolated, on Conf. Gas. Elimination of hotsurfaces, careful atention to upset conditions when spec'ing ATEX, ban petrol-engined vehicles etc itd will buy more risk reduction than exotic materials at heavy wallthickness.

Hi, It is a common misunderstanding that API 521 (a Standard in 2007, fifth edition, and no longer an RP) requires depressurizing to 7 barg in 15 min. One should read §5.20.1 more thoroughly. API state that depressurizing shall achieve its goal i.e. to prevent premature rupture and potential escalation. They also state that "for pool fire [...] this generally involves reducing the equipment pressure ... to 50% of the vessels design pressure within approximately 15 min." This is related to pool fire only and associated to a reduction down to 50% of the design pressure. In separate (p57) they mention depressurizing to 690 kPa (for vessel operating at 1700 kPa or higher) but not necessarily associated to 15 min. 690 kPa is deemed a "safe" pressure to which rupture could occur with "limited" consequences.In other words, and as uncomfortable it may be, API is not prescriptive but goal setting and "depressurizing all vessels from initial pressure to 7 barg in 15 min" is not complying with API Std 521.To be noted although how little is said related to jet fire!Nonetheless this doesn't change any of the conclusions of above paper.Regards,
Ram Bhargava
Excellent overview on jet fire protection
Vincent ALARY
Diego Parra
Another method to avoid fire jet inpingement that is not mentioned in this article and that has been effectively implemented is to locate certain critical items of the plant (eg. gas pipeline ESD valves) in a pit below ground such that fire jet inpingement from potential sources in the vicinity is not possible.Some of the conclusions drawn in this article oversimplify the problem, for example when a fire is detected it may not be possible to depressurize all nearby sections without delay, the flare must be sized to take these concurrent loads simultaneously or else a sequence needs to be followed. Similarly the general conclusion that plant depressurization per API RP 521 cannot prevent process equipment rupture when exposed to a jet fire is only based on the specific conditions used in the analysis presented in this article (constant jet heat flux of 350kW/m2, CS construction, high normal operating pressure, etc).

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

ANDERSON, S.C. – After tallying back-to-back South Atlantic Conference victories over Lincoln Memorial (8-1) and Lenoir-Rhyne on Monday and Tuesday, Anderson University men's tennis continues its grueling week with three straight matches, beginning on Thursday at home against Limestone, followed by a pair of road contests at Catawba and Wingate on Friday and Saturday.
The Trojans
After beginning the season with a 1-4 record, AU has turned around its season, winning five of its last six contests and currently rides a two-match winning streak. For the year, the Trojans are 6-5 while holding a 6-1 mark in conference play, joining Tusculum and Coker as one-loss teams in the SAC. The trio is chasing Wingate, which sits atop of the league standings with a perfect 7-0 record.
Freshman Mateo Rivas headlines the top of the Anderson lineup, as he has won five straight matches after switching from the No. 2 position to the No. 3 slot. Prior to the move, Rivas suffered six straight setbacks to begin his collegiate career. Since the move, the Buenos Aires, Argentina native has won three matches by straight sets and has knocked off four conference opponents.
Also bringing in a singles winning streak into the three-match stretch, senior Danilo Faria has totaled six straight wins at the No. 6 position. With the winning streak, Faria is 7-2 for the season, headlined by a key three-set win over Tusculum's Leon Seiz (3-6, 6-3, 6-0) to help seal the narrow 5-4 win over the Pioneers.
With the success by Rivas and Faria in the singles round, the Trojans have yet to drop a singles conference match since their 5-4 victory over TC. Anderson swept the singles round against Mars Hill, Brevard, Lincoln Memorial and Lenoir-Rhyne.
The Saints
Entering Thursday's match ranked No. 30 nationally, Limestone is coming off a 5-4 setback at King on Tuesday. With the loss, the Saints dropped to an even 7-7 record on the year, while moving to 3-3 in Conference Carolinas. Prior to the start of the season, LC was projected to capture the league title in the annual Conference Carolinas Preseason Coaches' Poll. In the poll, the Saints tallied five first-place votes, along with 60 points, a single point ahead of league rival, Mount Olive.
In the latest ITA Regional Rankings, Limestone was listed ninth in the 10-team region poll, as it joined Mount Olive as the lone two teams from Conference Carolinas. Despite the regional ranking, the Saints currently sit in fifth place in the league standings, a game behind three teams with a pair of losses.
The top of the LC lineup has struggled as the Saints' No. 1 player, Antoine Le Dore, is 3-6 for the spring, while No. 2, Lucas Guinski, holds a 4-7 spring record. No. 4 player, Stefano Soares enters Thursday's contests on an eight-match winning streak, winning every match in straight sets.
The Series vs. Limestone
Anderson is seeking its first win over its in-state rival since its final year in Conference Carolinas in 2010. Since that win, the Trojans are 0-2 against the Saints, as LC defeated Anderson in 2011 and in 2013.
The Indians
After kicking off the spring season with two straight wins, Catawba has posted just two victories following the promising start, For the year, the Indians are 8-14 overall and 1-8 in SAC play with their lone win coming against Carson-Newman on March 21. Following the win, Catawba has dropped four straight with two more conference matches upcoming.
Junior Pierce Hoover has been slotted at the No. 1 position for the year, but just snapped a seven-match losing streak on Sunday with a 6-0, 6-0 blanking of Lincoln Memorial's Will Sparks. With the victory, Hoover is 6-16 for the year.
Senior Matthew Nicholson, who is projected to play at No. 2, has dropped four straight matches with his last two setbacks coming in three sets. Nicholson's last triumph came on March 22 in a key match against Carson-Newman's Stefano Daza, as Nicholson came away with a three-set (6-4, 3-6, 6-2) win en route to Catawba's 5-4 win.
The Series vs. Catawba
Since joining the SAC prior to the 2011 season, Anderson is a perfect 3-0 against the Indians, as last year's 7-2 victory was the first time in the previous three meetings the Indians have scored against the Trojans in the span.
The Bulldogs
With a match against Lincoln Memorial on Friday pending, Wingate is the only team in the SAC with a perfect conference record, entering Friday with a 7-0 league mark and ranked No. 34 in the country. Overall, the Bulldogs are 12-6 for the year and are currently on a four-match winning streak, beginning with a 6-3 triumph over nationally-ranked Limestone on March 19.
In the latest ITA regional rankings release in the middle of March, Wingate was the lone SAC representative in the poll, rounding out the poll at the No. 10 position. Despite not having an individual player in the regional rankings, the middle of the WU lineup has contributed to its success. No. 3 player, Filippo Pezzoli is 13-4 this season at the position, while teammate Connor Kudrick is 15-1 at the No. 4 spot, as he leads the team in singles wins.
In doubles, the Bulldogs are 37-17 for the season, as the tandem of Kudrick and Ryan Forbes has posted 14 wins at the No. 2 slot this season.
The Series vs. Wingate
Anderson and Wingate are an even 2-2 in its matches spanning to AU's first season in the SAC in 2011. The Bulldogs are 2-1 in regular season matchups, while the Trojans posted a SAC Tournament win in 2011.

Stat City: City v West Brom in numbers
- 06 May 2013 09:44
- Posted by @markbooth_mcfc / Words by @StatCity
Adam Carter from statistical wizards and must-follow on Twitter @StatCity previews Tuesday's game against West Brom.
Manchester City are facing West Bromwich Albion for the 143rd time in all competitions, knowing that a win at the Etihad Stadium will secure UEFA Champions League qualification.
In total, City have won 59 of the previous 142 fixtures (41.54%), whilst they have drawn 29 times (20.42%) against West Bromwich Albion and have lost the other 54 (38.02%).
The Blues have scored 240 goals against the Baggies in all competitions, scoring at a rate of 1.69 goals per game. City have conceded 234 times against West Brom, which sees the Baggies netting at a rate of 1.67 goals per game.
Manchester City have kept 45 clean sheets against West Bromwich Albion in all competitions (31.69%), whilst failing to score themselves on just 31 occasions (21.83%).
At home against West Bromwich Albion, City are unbeaten in the last 5 meetings and have never lost against the Baggies at the Etihad Stadium. The Blues have won 41 of their 69 (59.42%) home games against West Brom in all competitions. City have drawn 12 (17.39%) and lost just 16 (23.18%) of the other 28 home fixtures.
In the Premier League as a whole, the two sides are meeting for the 14th time. City have won 6 (42.85%), drawn 3 (21.42%) and lost 4 (28.57%) of the previous 13 Premier League fixtures against the Baggies.
The Blues have only kept 4 clean sheets against West Brom, whilst they have also been shut out at the other end on 4 (30.76%) occasions (but only ever once at home).
City have scored 20 goals against West Brom in the Premier League, with 11 of those (55.00%) coming under the tenure of Roberto Mancini. The Blues have leaked in 13 goals against the Baggies but only 1 of those has come under the Italian's stewardship.
At home against West Bromwich Albion in the Premier League, City have won the last three in a row and haven't conceded a goal in the last two. A loss and two draws make up the other results in the 6 Premier League home games against the Baggies.
City will look to Carlos Tevez for inspiration as the Argentine is in hot form when it comes to matches at the Etihad Stadium, having scored in three of his last four games on home soil.
Mancini's men will be hoping to make it five consecutive home wins for the first time this season when they take on Steve Clarke's West Bromwich side.

I have heard people discussing the utility of $L$-functions, claiming that since they are essentially cohomological entities, they are "abelian" and therefore lack force.
From looking around on the web, I see that this idea has a base of believers, and that there is some notion of non-abelian $L$-functions.
What is the definition of non-abelian $L$-functions? Does it have to do with replacing cohomology with homotopy in some way? How does it relate to the original definition of $L$-function (in particular, what is the analogue of the characteristic polynomial?)? What is the context in which it arises?

Unanswered: Reset the paging params (start, page) on list render
I have a category list and a product list. When the category list is clicked, a new panel with a list of products is displayed which is paged. When a back button is clicked back to categories, the product list is destroyed.
I am finding that when another category is clicked and the product list loads, the list paging params are not being reset. The same store is being used, but the data is being cleared.
Is there anyway to reset the paging params such as start and page?
this.list = new Ext.List({ store: 'LocalProductsStore', plugins: [{ ptype: 'listpaging', autoPaging: false }], singleSelection: true, emptyText: '
No products found matching this criteria.
', itemTpl: atd.templates.ProductListItem, listeners: { selectionchange: {fn: this.onSelect, scope: this} } });

Is there no way likeCode:

What I did is a bit hacky but works for now.
I'm setting a store variable called needsReset to false and when I need to reset the params I obviously callCode:
if (store.getNeedsReset()){ store.setNeedsReset(false); store.loadPage(1); return false; }
This is dirty and I need to digg through this again later...

I read a lot of advanced math and computational science literature which requires the reader to be pretty involved most of the time. I usually read and simultaneously take notes, solve and comment in margins. However, when should I wait and review what I just read?
Is there some literature on this? I remember reading something about reviewing all that you read every 5 pages or something.
If I wait too long to review, after a certain point, I forget what I am doing and why I am doing it. The process becomes mechanical and I lose my intuition.
If I review too often, its boring because there is no thrill of learning.
If it is relevant, I practice Pomodoro and I keep the first minute to review the page which I was on.
Note: I am looking for literature (or at least well founded anecdotal evidence) on this. Not "do it when you feel you are forgetting" subjective answers.

Coworking in Community
In her famous autobiography Dorothy Day says, "We have all known the long loneliness and we have learned that the only solution is love and that love comes with community."In Seattle, community is the key to thesuccess of theCapitol Hill coworking space, Office Nomads. Coworking is therapidly growing idea that people of different professions can shareone working environmentand successfully attend to their individual jobs. When working from home becomes too stifling or distractingand the need to get out and interact with other people is overpowering, coworking isthe answer. For those who telecommute daily, coworking is ideal.In the Catholic Church, we talk a lot about the importance of community - our family community, our parish community. But what about our working community?The New York Times ran an article about the growing trend of coworkingin February andprofiled a few of the organizations that have helped facilitate the spread of this idea.The motto at Office Nomads is "individuality without isolation" and its founders Susan Evans andJacob Sayles knew that this idea wouldgo over well in Seattle - a city wherebusiness meetings often takeplace in crowded corner coffee shops. Office Nomads and its contemporaries haveprovided a newkind of communitythat inherently providesnetworkingand the exchange positive ideas while creating a space to get work done and of course, have a cup of coffee.It is this kind of community that prevents all of us from collapsing under the pressure of the long loneliness and allows us to grow more fully into the people God wants us to be.

Certainly a great idea for people who work independently. At $25.00 a day Office Nomads looks like a lucrative business.What I would like to know is how many have real community in their parishes. Jimmy Mac, if I remember correctly, is the only one on this blog who has a real community in his parish. Or have others not shared? If so Who and where?
By the way, mayber someone can explain why paid subscribers cannot access the present issue anymore? Someone mentioned this last week and the problem seems to remain. Any help?
Today on a VOTF blog was a report from Minneapolis of a group of about 100 Catholics told not to do their "celebration" there -so they've moved 5 blocks away. Too man yguitars, gays, dancing etc.Not in line with the GIRM according to the new coadjutor.Remark fro mone, "we're too 1960s and the Church is getting more like 1860."I note this because we keep talking about putting forward the faith but continue to crumble as a comunity and lessening our credibility to many.I think the idea of how a parish welcomes put forward by the late Msgr. Phil Murnion is disappearing under the crush of legalism and clericalism that seems to be the operative m.o.
Hi, Bob, you bring to the surface something that makes me vaguely uncomfortable about VOTF. It's not really part of the community ... it's more of an arbitrary creation that has inserted itself into the already-existing community.I'm sorry - there might be a nicer way to put it than that. I'm puzzled by VOTF, I guess. To the extent that they favor things like transparency, openness, lay participation in at least some decision-making, and so on - I'm for those, too.
Thanks, Jim.My perception is that VOTF is mainly mainstream but concerned much about issues like Eucharistic access, some real sense of equality for women in the Church and a big tent idea of both Church and parish - hence, my last post. Of course, they are also highly supportive (as am I) of the vuictims of sexualk abuse, especially to get the cancer of what happened out in the open and much more transparency and acuntability on the part of the hierarchy. Hence, it's hard for me to see it as an "arbitrary creation."They have newly elected leadership, well see hwere that leads.Thje fact that many hierarchs (not all) won't talk with them makes them suspect to many, but I think that just reinforces the issue of clericalism among the members.They are deeply concerned with the comunity -hence the issues of supporting priests of integrity but concern for Eucharistic access.Obviously, they are not very big on the "pure remnant" Church ,Finally, many are involved in ministry, from what I read, and expect to be treated as adults.Which gets me back to the thread that collaboration demands intermutual respect which heavily top down style does not lend itself to.
I am hard-pressed to figure out how one finds community in parishes with 2000+ families! There will be a familiarity if you recognize the identifiable faces who attend the same time of liturgy. People who put themselves out to be part of the activities of such a parish will be a more successful. Most people, however, dont volunteer; they need to be asked. Catholics are a rather unsociable lot at church and dont make it easy to be asked.Im not saying it cant be done as it obviously has been successful at Holy Family parish in Inverness, IL. http://www.holyfamilyparish.org/I think Fr. Brennan was successful because of his concept of what mission means in the local parish. I read his book (http://www.amazon.com/Mission-Driven-Parish-Patrick-Brennan/dp/1570756929) awhile back and found his formulae to be quite helpful. One thing that seems to be absolutely necessary in a larg(er) parish is to successfully promote the use of smaller groups with a variety of aims that will be attractive enough to people to get them active outside of the Sunday mass shuffle in and out of the parking lot.My urban parish doesnt even have a parking lot! The streets of San Francisco can be a parking challenge for those of us who dont live there.
Hi, Bob,Thanks for the information and explanation. Not having had any interaction with VOTF (didn't even know they were in my archdiocese until someone from VOTF posted here a few months ago), I guess I'm still not sure what to make of them.I have this idealistic notion that the local church exists in a formal structure, headed by the bishop, or the pastor as his surrogate. Inasmuch as VOTF lacks that sort of "verticality", it seems to me to be lacking. But I suppose it isn't about supplanting the parish, but rather being a catalyst for change in the existing structures.
Hi, Jimmy Mac,My parish is just a couple of hops away from Holy Family, and we're in the situation you describe, with 3,000+ families. We do have a variety of small groups, and it has engendered a pretty strong sense of community among those who participate. But those are a fraction of the total (probably 10-15% of the registered parishioners). And I wish the small group activites drew more young adults, parents, teens - people who are probably most at risk of drifting away, but who have the least time to participate in parish life. For us, I guess it's still a work in progress.
Marianne, I really like your riff on community in the workplace, having finished "The Long Loneliness" as my Lent project and am on to a re-read of Thomas More's "Utopia."I know several Catholic women who have started lunchtime knitting groups both in and outside their offices. These things started as "stitch and bitch" sessions. Some have taken on charity knitting projects, but many simply provide connection and a kind of "leveling" of the office pecking order. These groups have also taught lots of women to knit!I've been an obsessive knitter myself since the second grade (only way my mom could get me to sit still was to give me yarn), and I'm excited about attending a retreat tomorrow to talk with women who've started these up.
Jim: my limited experience tells me that community building will ALWAYS be a work in progress. But we should never give up the search.I was blessed to hear Jean Vanier speak to a small group of pilgrims to the Holy Land in 1989 and he had this to say about community:Living in community is doing little things with love. The one who wins the prize, loses community. Jean Vanier, The Notre Dame Center - Jerusalem, June 1989.People join a community because they find something of themselves represented in that group. They can "identify". Regis Duffy quoted in RCIA: Mission and Ministry (article), "The Way", July 1989.

I need to know how to wire a bathroom fan with a light and night light. The wiring has a black/white red/white blue/white and green. The bathroom has a light switch for the light fixture over the sinks and a switch for the old fan that did not have any lights. I think I need a 3-way switch?
The three pairs of wires correspond to the three functions. You should be able to find labels or a note in the manual explaining which is which, but for now I'll assume:
The green wire is a ground wire.
How you wire this up depends on what you have available. A 3-way switch will not help you here; you need multiple switches, and for that to work you may need more wires between your switch box and your fan/light fixture. Most likely, you will have a single cable (with a black, white, and bare ground wire) running to your fan. In that case, you can wire it up as follows:
That assembly will work, but it's not ideal as your fan, light, and night light will all turn on/off from a single switch.
A better version would be to have two switched wires running up to the fan. You can do this either by adding another 2-conductor cable (such as 14/2WG) running up to the fixture, or you can use a 3-conductor cable (e.g. 14/3WG) where there is a single neutral (white) and two switched hots (black and red). Assuming you have the 3-wire cable, your setup would be:
This allows you to control the fan and light separately with your two switches, but again has the shortcoming that the nightlight is only powered when the light switch is on. Which probably defeats the purpose!
And that leaves the final, best option: two switched hots as above, plus an unswitched hot power supply wire (let's call it black-unswitched). In this setup, you'll
This setup is ideal because you have switches to control your fan and light separately, and you have constant power to supply the night light. That means your fixture can use the unswitched power to run the nightlight constantly, and when you come in and turn on the main light, the nightlight either turns off or just becomes irrelevant.
As you can see, you have a few reasonable options for how to wire this fixture. Another variation is that you might have unswitched power in the fixture area, and only one cable running to your switch box. If that is the case, you'll be using the cable to the switch to both send power to the switch and receive power back when the switch is on. If you have that sort of set up, you could provide constant power to the nightlight even if you have a single switch controlling the fan and light together. You'll need to make a couple more junctions in/near the fixture in this case, involving the switch.
Note: a 3-way switch will not be helpful. A 3-way switch has three wires (call them A,B,C) and allows you to switch between connecting A+B or A+C. Two 3-way switches can be used together to allow switching a light from two locations. But as long as you have a switch with only two positions, you can only choose between on and off, not off, on-fan, on-light, and on-fan+light. For that you need two switches, or some sort of switch designed to control two separate fixtures.
Final cautionary note: To do this right, you will need some basic electrical knowledge, including how to properly connect wires with wire nuts and how to work on a fixture safely. If you aren't familiar with this sort of electrical work, you should get someone who is (experienced DIYer or pro) to work with you. Improper electrical work has a massive risk of hurting you, either while you're trying to install it or later on when a failure can put you at risk of fire. Good luck and be safe!

If it is raining on Succos is there any benefit in eating in a Succah covered with a (Schlack) tarp over eating in the house? (sources please)

Nope. If the s'chach isn't valid, it's not a sukkah.
The practical advantage is, you can have all sorts of nice stuff in the sukkah; if it starts to rain, just put up the tarp; as soon as it stops raining you can pull off the tarp and get right back to your mitzva. Whereas if you didn't have the tarp, you have to rush everything out of your sukkah when it starts to rain; then when the rain stops, you have to wait another hour+ for everything to dry out, then drag everything back into the sukkah. (Practically, people are likely to not bring out their best dishes, chairs etc. anyhow because of this.)
There is a ma'ala in sitting outside, even if the succah is covered. This is in accordance with the shita of the Rabbeinu Tam on maseches succah 10a SV 'piress'. The Shulchan Aruch (OC 629:19) only brings this down as a yesh omrim, but the MB says to be machmir to sit in the succah (without a brocha), b'shaas ha'd'chak, in other words, if you live in the UK like I do where it's almost always raining, if we were to say ha'mitztaer min ha'succah potur - we'd never be mekayem the mitzvah!

I have two SharePoint 2007 sites, a UAT/Development site (ip.ip.ip.ip) and a Production site (intranet.mycompany.com). Each site contains collections of lists pointing to applications our company uses.
The requirement (desire) is that the UAT SharePoint site links point to only the UAT deployments of the applications hosted at (uat.mycompany.com/ApplicationName) and that the Production SharePoint site links point to only the Production applications at (intranet.mycompany.com/ApplicationName). That way, it would be such that the links to applications are dynamic between the UAT and Production Sites.
How can I create links that will reference the UAT Server applications when in the UAT SharePoint site, but reference the Production Server applications when on the Production SharePoint site?

In my opinion, the question "What can you tell me about Gail?" was a valid one that should be of considerable concern to my father if, indeed, it is he who is attempting communication and provided, of course, that he is in touch with the family activities, as is the claim in most of these purported communications. Gail, as many people know since I have begun to relate this story, is Edgar Cayce's granddaughter who is making a recovery from physical difficulties by following the Edgar Cayce readings. She is, at present, working in the office of the Edgar Cayce Foundation in close association with Gladys Davis Turner, Edgar Cayce's secretary for many years. Gail was born after Edgar Cayce's death in January 1945.
In the book, The Outer Limits of Edgar Cayce's Power, my brother, Edgar Evans Cayce, and I have dealt with five types of readings given by Edgar Cayce which, in some instances, do not seem to be correct in the information given. In the chapter, "The Nature of Psychic Perception," we discuss the possible sources of Edgar Cayce's psychic data. We describe one of these areas as a world of thought form. The world of thought form may be identified by many different terms—the stream of mind, the universal mind, the Akashic Records.
Edgar Cayce's readings describe it like this:
In giving the interpretations of the records as we find them, these are written upon the skein of time and space by the activity of the mental self. For the superconscious mind becomes the mind of the soul in those interims between material manifestations and the cosmic or universal manifestations - yet these are one. For it is as the activities of a day, of an hour - the reactions from same are dependent upon what has been builded in the consciousness of the soul. Thus these become, as here, a part of the whole entity's experience in the material sojourns. (Reading 3605-1)
And in another place:
Conditions, thoughts, activities of men in every clime are things; as thoughts are things. They make their impressions upon the skein of time and space. Thus, as they make for their activity, they become as records that may be read by those in accord or attuned to such a condition. (Reading 3976-16)
Apparently, we are not able yet to measure thought energy as accurately as we may be able to do in the near future. It would seem that thoughts, especially heated, highly emotionally charged thought patterns, actually shape a finer kind of matter which is moving so fast that our senses are not able to perceive it. Sense perception is possible by an individual who has altered his state of consciousness and can thus tune to these higher vibrations.
Each of us as individuals must come to grips with our own personal experiences involving survival. It is here that I, myself, have found the greatest source of consolation and understanding. Frequently such personal experiences do not constitute evidence for anyone else, and such experiences will not deter me from further investigation, searching out measurable evidence for survival. However, as any investigator knows, if telepathy and clairvoyance are allowed as possibilities, survival evidence is tenuous, at best. I have had dreams of both my mother and father since their death, dreams which have been so vivid and so helpful that they do constitute, for me, proof of their survival of bodily death. I have also had some conscious breakthroughs—small visions one might call them—which have sometimes involved more than one person. They have brought me and those with whom I am closely associated physical, mental and emotional help that has been most compelling. For the present, these experiences are too personal to relate in detail.
There is one peculiar story I would like to share with you in closing. It involves my mother, Gertrude Cayce, who had many readings from Edgar Cayce during her lifetime. In one of these she was given a life-seal. It consisted of symbols which Edgar Cayce suggested be painted or embroidered and kept where she could see them. This combination of symbols, he said, would speak to her unconscious and would be of help to her. A friend painted the life-seal for her, combining the suggested symbols which included two red roses with crossed stems. The reading indicated that the roses would stand for my brother and me. When my mother died, this life-seal was on her dressing table.
Shortly after her death and while I was still overseas during World War II, Florence Edmonds, a close friend of my mother, had a dream in which my mother appeared to her and said, "When I communicate with Hugh Lynn, tell him that I will give him two red roses."
Upon my return from overseas, Florence told me of the dream. She said she had not told the dream to anyone else. I asked her to keep it to herself. A few years afterward she died. As time went on I looked in the numerous purported communications from Gertrude Cayce, for the symbol of two red roses as identification. They were not given.
About three years ago I had a call from a man in a large eastern city who told me a strange story about his wife who had gotten into difficulties from playing with a ouija board. She had been directed to automatic writing, after which she began to hear voices. She talked to her doctor about this, and he put her in a mental institution for a time where she was treated to help rid her of the voices. Her husband told me she was back home again and that she was still hearing the voices but was no longer telling her doctor about them. Apparently she had got hold of my book Venture Inward, and had asked her husband to call me to ask if I would talk with her on the telephone, allowing her to describe what the voices were saying to her. She felt I might be able to help. That same day I accepted a long distance telephone call from the man and his wife. He was on one extension and she was on another. For some ten minutes I listened to her repeat the strange, confusing pattern of words she seemed to be hearing—idle gossip, dirty stories, dire predictions, teasing kinds of comments about the lady personally. It was a bewildering variety of nonsense, typical of the strange patterns of voices familiar to many disturbed people. Suddenly the woman stopped. Then she said, "Mr. Cayce, your mother says to give you two red roses." She then hung up.
There is a rather beautiful conclusion to this story, for at that point, the voices which had been disturbing the woman ceased.
Hugh Lynn Cayce (1907-1982) was the eldest son of Edgar Cayce and a leading thinker, author, and spokesperson for psychological and paranormal subjects. Before his death, Hugh Lynn served his father's Association for Research and Enlightenment, Inc. (A.R.E.), as chairman of the board. He was also author of the book Venture Inward, an examination of safe and unsafe methods of exploring personal psychic experiences and The Outer Limits of Edgar Cayce's Power which explores the relatively small number (200) of readings that appeared to be inaccurate.
A.R.E. Journal, 1974, Vol. IX, No. 1
Many individuals questioned Edgar Cayce about life after death. On one occasion he answered a specific question about communication with those who had passed on.
Q: Is it possible for this body, Edgar Cayce, in this state, to communicate with anyone who has passed into the spirit world?A: The spirit of all that have passed from the physical plane remain about the plane until their development carry them onward or are returned for their development here, when they are in the plane of communication or remain within this sphere, any may be communicated with. There are thousands about us here at present. (Reading 3744-2)
The following question brought further clarification on the subject:
Q: What is meant by souls within this sphere may be communicated with by the body, Edgar Cayce, in the psychic state?A: Each and every soul entity, or earthly entity, passing through the earth's plane, radiates in that plane those conditions that are radiated from the soul or spiritual entity in the individual. This then becomes the fact, the real fact, in the material world.When the body Edgar Cayce is in the psychic or subconscious condition, he is able then to reach all the subconscious minds, when directed to such subconscious minds by suggestion, whether in the material world or in the spiritual world, provided the spiritual entity has not passed entirely into [another level]. Then we only reach those radiations left in earth's plane that are taken again when entering in earth's plane, whether [the] entity is conscious of same or not. The consciousness of reaching that condition wherein the physical body may take up that truth known, must be reached by all. (Reading 900-22)
Many types of psychic information, purportedly from entities who have passed on, suggest that all emotions and even physical suffering are not wiped out at death. This extract from the Edgar Cayce data is one such example:
Q: Does death instantly end all feeling in the physical body? If not, how long can it feel?A: Death—as commonly spoken of—is only passing through God's other door. That there is continued consciousness is evidenced…As to how long —many an individual has remained in that called death for what ye call years without realizing it was dead! The feelings, the desires for what ye call appetites are changed, or not aware at all. The ability to communicate is that which usually disturbs or worries others.Then, as to say how long—that depends upon the entity. (Reading 1472-2)
Other details about the forms of life following physical death appear in the answers to questions of a person who felt that he had had a projection into what he called "the astral plane." This individual saw human-like forms there, some of which were motionless, wax-like figures, and others which were animated. Here are the questions and answers concerning the incident:
Q: In regard to my first projection of myself into the astral plane, about two weeks ago: Some of the people were animated and some seemed like waxen images of themselves. What made the difference?A: Some—those that appear as images—are the expressions or shells or the body of an individual that has been left when its soul self has projected on, and has not been as yet dissolved…to the realm of that activity.For what individuals are lives on and takes form in that termed by others as the astral body. The soul leaves same and it appears as seen. Other individuals, as experienced, are in their animated form through their own sphere of experience at the present.Q: Why did I see my father and his two brothers as young men, although I knew them when they were white-haired?A: They are growing, as it were, upon the eternal plane. For, as may be experienced in every entity, a death is a birth. And those that are growing then appear in their growing state. (Reading 516-4)
This background of general information from the Edgar Cayce readings on survival after physical death encourages us to turn directly to the purported communications from Edgar Cayce. From time to time through the years since his death, a great many people have written to me, or spoken to me, indicating that they believe they are in touch with Edgar Cayce who is conveying messages through them to me. On all such occasions I have expressed what is certainly genuine interest, and in each case have written to ask that they seek identification for me. That is, I have asked them to have Edgar Cayce give information which would assure me and other members of the family that it is indeed he who is communicating. Over a period of several years I have asked all of these persons the same question, "What can you tell me about Gail?" Here are some of the answers which have been received over a period of three years.
Response No. 1: "Gail is a woman who was a friend of mine at one time. She was so despondent over lack of money that she was contemplating suicide. I was able to prevent this by informing her that her father was trying to communicate with her, to say that the money was coming soon. I also gave her a reading on the last day of my life by letter."
Response No. 2: "Gail was a playmate of yours, a ten-year-old girl that drowned. Gail was walking on a fallen tree, struck her head as she fell in the water. You were blamed, but you were the innocent bystander… She's a grey-haired woman now. Big-boned, I'd say."
Response No. 3: "Gail's death was an accident, due to the fact that he liked to climb. He had climbed up a tree, lost his balance and fell, hitting a tree limb with his head. There was also a spinal injury."
Response No. 4: "Gail is a vacation area or resort, with a stationary boat included, for sleeping."
Part 3 will continue with more about Gail and the possible sources for this information.
A.R.E. Journal, 1974, Vol. IX, No. 1
In 1947, in Chicago, at one of my very first lectures, I was confronted with the dilemma as to what point of view to take regarding communication with Edgar Cayce. After the lecture several people came up to speak to me. One of the first was a man who told me that he was the minister of a local spiritualist church. He said that he was very sorry to have to give me the message he had for me but that Edgar Cayce had been at the lecture, standing at my right side. My father had communicated to him that he was very sorry that he ever gave many of his psychic readings. He wanted me to burn all of them to stop the work which had been launched to study his records. I got the man's name and address and thanked him. Moments later I was confronted with another message bearer, a lady who was also a minister of a spiritualist church - this one on the outskirts of Chicago―said that she was happy to give me a message from Edgar Cayce. He had been there for the evening lecture, standing just to my left, and he wanted me to "go forward with the work of the organization." You pay your money and take your choice!
The whole field of psychical research is one which, at times, is extremely confusing. Evidence for survival is hard to clarify and harder to prove. In the light of modern telepathic and clairvoyant research, it seems almost impossible. We are frequently confused by what we see and hear. Too often we take words at their face value and are apt to misunderstand scientific data. There is a great deal of information on life after death in thousands of the psychic readings given by Edgar Cayce between 1901 and 1945. He was not a medium in the ordinary sense of the word. That is to say that insofar as we could determine, he did not have guides nor controls. There were times when he seemed to stop on the beam of light on which he traveled to talk with those who were on other planes of consciousness or in a state of so-called death. On such occasions we [in the room while he gave a reading] could hear only one side of the telephone-like conversation.
In Virginia Beach, Virginia, On July 9, 1934, Edgar Cayce had completed a physical check reading for one of my mother's cousins―a man who had cancer and was to die shortly. Edgar Cayce had been given the suggestion to awaken. My father then, apparently, began to talk with my uncle, my mother's brother, who had died in his early twenties while he was in the southwest receiving treatment for tuberculosis. At the time he went to the southwest for this treatment, his grandfather was in the process of supervising construction of the home to which many members of the large family gathered, from time to time, for family reunions and special events. Also prior to his illness my uncle had been on the baseball team. According to the conversation, as it appears in the readings, in my uncle's mind the house construction had been finished on another level of consciousness and he was there with other members of the family who also had died. It seems he continued to play baseball. In his consciousness, however, he had apparently arrived at a state of mind where he could say:
...for we have reached together [that place] where we see the light and know the pathway to the Savior is along the narrow way that leads to His throne. We are on that plane where you have heard it spoken of that the body, the mind, are one with those things we have builded. (Reading 5730-13)
Later, when we asked questions about this communication, Edgar Cayce described this plane of consciousness as similar, in many ways, to the earth plane but of finer structure. Included in this reading is the following:
For the soul lives on; and as conditions are only the release of the soul body from a house of clay the activities in the world of matter are only changed in their relationships to that which produces same and that [which] the physical body sees in material or three-dimensional form. (Reading 5756-14)
His reference to light was of special interest to us, because there were about seventeen times when Edgar Cayce retained memory from the altered state of consciousness from which he gave psychic information. On these occasions the memories related to his moving on a shaft of light. From the readings on these memories I have put together a composite statement as follows:
I see myself as a tiny dot outside of my physical body, which lies inert before me. I find myself oppressed by darkness, and there is a feeling of terrific loneliness. Suddenly, I am conscious of a beam of white light. As this tiny dot, I move upward in the light, knowing that I must follow it or be lost.
As I move along this path of light, I gradually become conscious of various levels upon which there is movement. Upon the first levels there are vague, horrible shapes, grotesque forms such as one sees in nightmares. Passing on, there begin to appear on either side misshapen forms of human beings with some part of the body magnified. Again there is change, and I become conscious of gray-hooded forms moving downward. Gradually, these become lighter in color. Then the direction changes and these forms move upward, and the color of the robes grows rapidly lighter. Next, there begin to appear on either side vague outlines of houses, walls, trees, etc., but everything is motionless. As I pass on, there is more light and movement in what appear to be normal cities and towns. With the growth of movement I become conscious of sounds. At first they are indistinct rumblings and then there is music, laughter, and the singing of birds. There is more and more light. The colors become very beautiful, and there is only a blending of sound and color. Quite suddenly, I come upon a hall of records. It is a hall without walls, without a ceiling, but I am conscious of seeing an old man who hands me a large book, a record of the individual for whom I seek information.
Many individuals questioned Edgar Cayce about life after death. Part 2 will look at psychic information from entities who have died.
Hugh Lynn Cayce (1907-1982) was the eldest son of Edgar Cayce and a leading thinker, author, and spokesperson for psychological and paranormal subjects. Before his death, Hugh Lynn served his father's Association for Research and Enlightenment, Inc. (A.R.E.), as chairman of the board. He was also author of the book Venture Inward, an examination of safe and unsafe methods of exploring personal psychic experiences and The Outer Limits of Edgar Cayce's Power which explores the relatively small number (200) of readings that appeared to be inaccurate.
During this period of financial crises and natural disasters around the world, it is sometimes difficult to find the meaning in all that is happening. Richard Tarnas, in Cosmos and Psyche, suggests that we have forgotten the interconnectivity of all things in the universe – the Oneness of all that the Cayce readings so often mentioned. Tarnas suggests that we need a new worldview.
"The primal human being perceives the surrounding natural world as permeated with meaning, meaning whose significance is at once human and cosmic. Spirits are seen in the forest, presences are felt in the wind and the ocean, the river, the mountains. Meaning is recognized in the flight of two eagles across the horizon, in the conjunction of two planets in the heavens, in the unfolding cycles of the Moon and Sun. The primal world is ensouled."Richard Tarnas, PhD, Cosmos and Psyche
As the scientific era took hold, humans began to view themselves apart from the universe, rather than a part of the universe. This view of the world, although it has brought many technological advances, has also cast a very dark shadow in our treatment of nature and mother earth.
"…as the souls are a part of the Creative Forces – the sun, the moon and the planets are as much affected by that influence of a birth, as affecting…" (2326-1)
With the help of Cayce's readings and depth psychology, we have rediscovered these inner psychic connections that we have with each other through what Cayce called the superconscious.
At the present time we are becoming conscious of how all the countries in the outer world are interconnected – through travel, through trade, through war, and certainly through the World Wide Web. Lately, we have especially become aware of the economic interconnectedness and the domino effect that can happen worldwide when some of the major players experience financial problems.
What does astrology offer us during this period of such rapid change? Astrology and the Cayce readings offer a perspective that is very different from the scientific worldview. It is one that supports our interconnectedness with each other, nature, and the universe. In this worldview when we cause harm to one part of the cosmos we affect all…
The financial cycle in astrology is ruled by the cycle of two planets: Saturn and Pluto. When those planets conjunct each other (the last conjunction was 1982), it symbolizes the beginning of an upswing in the economic arena and possibly the beginning of a bull market. When they oppose each other (the last opposition was 2001) it reflects the beginning of a contraction in the financial markets. We are still in the contraction side of the cycle and will not see an upswing, according to astrology, until Saturn and Pluto form their next conjunction in January 2020 and possibly not until Pluto moves out of Capricorn in 2023.
From 2012 to 2015, a tight square (90°) connecting Uranus and Pluto will occur several times between 6° and 15° of Cardinal signs. This stressful aspect can indicate sudden (Uranus) changes and upheavals (Pluto) occurring and the necessity for being able to adapt quickly to these changes. Both of these planets are associated with fanatical actions so it will be a time when you can make sweeping changes in life but it is also important not to do so in a fanatical way. This is so important, as we are already seeing so much polarization of beliefs and attitudes in the world.
The Cayce readings had much to say about negotiating times of change such as we are now experiencing. There are excellent articles in this A.R.E. blog about economic healing and earth changes as described in the readings.
"It is also understood, comprehended by some, that a new order of conditions is to arise; that there must be many a purging in high places as well as low; that there must be the greater consideration of each individual, each soul being his brother's keeper. There will then come about those circumstances in the political, the economic, and the whole relationships where there will be a leveling – or a greater comprehension of this need." (3976-18)

The Pavlodar refinery (POCR) of KazMunaiGas will use a range of UOP processes and services to modernize its facility in Northeast Kazakhstan Province, allowing it to meet Euro-5 standards aimed at reducing motor vehicle pollution. Established in 1978, POCR is one of Kazakhstan's three oil refineries.
Technology from Honeywell's UOP has been selected by
the largest refiner in Kazakhstan to help it upgrade its
facility and boost the production of gasoline and diesel, the
company said on Thursday.
The Pavlodar Oil Chemical Refinery
(POCR) of KazMunaiGas will use a range of UOP
processes and services to modernize its facility in Northeast
Kazakhstan Province, allowing it to meet Euro-5 standards aimed
at reducing motor vehicle pollution.
UOP technology will play a large role in POCRs
modernization efforts, which will
improve its production capacity and help meet strict fuel
standards, said Pete Piotrowski, senior vice president
and general manager of UOP's process technology and equipment business
UOPs technology suite and services will
help POCR capture a high return on investment, and we look
forward to successful implementation and start-up.
Established in 1978, POCR is one of Kazakhstans three
oil refineries, and it is the countrys largest oil
processing enterprise. It processed about 100,000 bpd in 2010,
accounting for 30% of refined product output in the
After Russia, Kazakhstan has the largest oil reserves and
the largest oil production in the former Soviet Union,
according to the Energy Information Administration. The country
is expected to produce 1.6 million bpd of oil this year.
Since 1998, Honeywell has been expanding its presence in
Kazakhstans oil and gas, aviation, and construction sectors in support of
the countrys growing energy needs, according to the
company, which notes that its technology will
also help the country meet energy efficiency directives
for cleaner transportation fuels.
Kazakhstan has announced that by January 1, 2016, all
refineries will meet Euro-5 gasoline and diesel production
standards, which were implemented to help curb motor vehicle
pollution. Euro-5 is a directive by the European Union that defines
acceptable limits for exhaust emissions.
In the latest project, POCR will use a
suite of UOP technology for the revamp. The new units,
expected to start up in 2015, will process 7.5 million
metric tpy of crude feedstock into gasoline blending
components and high-quality diesel, increasing the depth of
conversion to more than 90%.
In addition to technology licensing, UOP and a
number of its affiliates will provide key process equipment,
catalysts, staff training and technical service.
Further details on specific UOP technologies to be used in
the project can be read here.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.
