Critical Illness Cover with – Easy Life Insurance Plans in Dubai
Aside Posted on
Protect yourself and your family in times of uncertainty. 36 critical illnesses covered. Our lives are fraught with difficulties and so to safeguard ourselves from accidents or mishaps we need to protect ourselves. So what would do we do? Life insurance policies in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and UAE can be the most effective way by which we can protect or at least insurance ourselves against these uncertainties. But there are certain things that you should keep in mind while investing in life insurance policies.
These Things to be kept in mind:
Businessmen should go for Key Man Life Insurance Policy. This type of insurance is taken to safeguard the business organization from financial losses in case of the death of one or more employees or owners. Any person can be a Key Man provided they should be either director of the company or key project managers or key sales people or people with specific skills occupied in a particular business. This it also helps the company in its tax planning and protects the immediate families of the businessman from getting affected by the vagaries of the company.
Shareholders should go for Shareholder Protection Plan Saudi Arabia. This not only helps the shareholder but also the deceased shareholder's family as they can realize the value of the business interest. The shareholders thus can reduce the risk involved in their business. Stefan Terry provides financial assistance to various corporate companies.
Life Insurance should be a must:
Every person needs life insurance cover to his or her personal debts, medical plan and funeral bills. Therefore insuring yourself and your business should be one of your main concerns until you have enough assets to cover the expenses after you are gone. Moreover, even if you are single, you still need to insure yourself.
Thus it is clear from the above discussion that insuring oneself and ones business has various advantages. Although insuring may initially involve some costs but it will definitely benefit one in the long run. So, leave all the stress aside and let your insurance policy deal with them, while you rest at peace and enjoy a carefree life. One cannot predict future disasters or mishaps that may happen in your life but through insurance, you can protect yourselves from them and live a happy life!

Life Insurance: How Well is Your Family and Future Protected?
There are numerous agencies in the Middle East which deals with the protection of wealth, its preservation and creation. There ways by which these goals can be achieved. Some of them are by providing life cover, medical cover, critical illness cover, mortgage protection, international pension plans, savings plans, pension transfer plans and the likes. It is very important to attain these covers as they help the families to tide things over.
Medical Assurances
Medical insurances are an important aspect as they help to overcome the financial issue of sickness. Families and individual go through a lot of emotional turmoil when somebody gets sick. At least being financially covered spares some of the worry. There are critical illness covers apart from the generic medical covers which can also be availed.
Life Insurance
Life insurance is the fundamental step in the financial arena. It is the main foundation of financial planning. Basically, it provides financial cover to your loved ones on the advent of your death. It can cover the debt on the mortgaged property, and removes the hindrance of debt. Life insurances for mortgages UAE ensures that on the event of your death, the debt incurred on the property will be inherited by your family. So, in order to take up a mortgage it's essential to have a life insurance. It can also cover the education cost of your children as well as provide a cash inflow for your family. Another aspect of life insurance is the planning for the inheritance tax liabilities
Retirement Plans.
The retirement years has to be planned meticulously in a detailed manner with utmost care. It all depends on the kind of lifestyle you live and the passive or aggressive way in which you would like to live your retiring years. However, it is best from the financial point of view if the retirement fund is started early. The most tax beneficial method in the retirement is opting for offshore pension plans. This is why people living in places like Middle East and Africa, places which are a non taxed jurisdiction opt for the private pension plans UAE. The structure of your retirement pension plans depends on you. You can withdraw the entire maturity amount together or benefit the maturity gradually over a period of time.
Education Plans
Every parent wants the best for their children and the importance of education is paramount. However, the cost of education has also sky rocketed and is increasing rapidly. Therefore a lot of investment is required for a proper education. In the advent of your death you wouldn't want to leave your child without being able to afford their rightful education. So planning for your child's education is very important and putting away money at a regular basis is a good way to tackle that issue. Even in places like UAE education fee planning is a very important aspect which should be considered and covered by concerned parents.

Oh also it should be noted that we forgot to take a picture of Laddie and her husband, but it seemed noteworthy anyways to do a post about this crazy place.
We hadn't been there long when 3 little girls came up to us and asked if we wanted to ride on the indoor carousel. Yes, please. Many of the animals you could ride on were bizarre and kind of folk arty.

Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin that is necessary for normal growth and development.
Water-soluble vitamins dissolve in water. Leftover amounts of the vitamin leave the body through the urine. That means you need a continuous supply of such vitamins in your diet.
Vitamin C is required for the growth and repair of tissues in all parts of your body. It is necessary to form collagen, an important protein used to make skin, scar tissue, tendons, ligaments, and blood vessels. Vitamin C is essential for the healing of wounds, and for the repair and maintenance of cartilage, bones, and teeth.
Vitamin C is one of many antioxidants. Vitamin E and beta-carotene are two other well-known antioxidants. Antioxidants are nutrients that block some of the damage caused by free radicals, which are by-products that result when our bodies transform food into energy.
The build up of these by-products over time is largely responsible for the aging process and can contribute to the development of various health conditions such as cancer, heart disease, and a host of inflammatory conditions like arthritis. Antioxidants also help reduce the damage to the body caused by toxic chemicals and pollutants such as cigarette smoke.
The body does not manufacture vitamin C on its own, nor does it store it. It is therefore important to include plenty of vitamin C-containing foods in your daily diet.
Food Sources
All fruits and vegetables contain some amount of vitamin C. Foods that tend to be the highest sources of vitamin C include green peppers, citrus fruits and juices, strawberries, tomatoes, broccoli, turnip greens and other leafy greens, sweet and white potatoes, and cantaloupe.
Other excellent sources include papaya, mango, watermelon, brussels sprouts, cauliflower, cabbage, winter squash, red peppers, raspberries, blueberries, cranberries, and pineapples.

Sergio Aguero is in line to return for Manchester City's top of the table clash with Arsenal.
The Argentine striker has been ruled out of Saturday's Premier League tie with Swansea as he continues to recover from a heel injury.
But Manuel Pellegrini confirmed that the 27-year-old is on course to be fit to take on Arsene Wenger's side at the Emirates a week on Monday.
The Chilean said: "He's improving, but he's not ready this weekend.
"I hope next week he will start working with the squad Tuesday or Wednesday.
"We play on Monday against Arsenal so we hope he will be fit for that game."
Vincent Kompany is still out with a calf injury, while Fernando and Pablo Zabaleta are also out.
But Martin Demichelis is back in the squad after being left out of Tuesday's Champions League victory against Borussia Monchengladbach as a precaution.
City face a Swansea side who have just sacked manager Garry Monk.
Pellegrini added: "Always when a club change a manager they have a special motivation in the first game.
"That is always a different thing, but I think they cannot change too much in two or three days.
"I don't think the problem of Swansea was the manager, he was the same manager who made a very good season last year so I think they are in a bad moment, but it is a not a problem of one game."
WATCH: Pellegrini on all the big issues for Swansea

Sorry for the long space between posts. Between the campaign and life, blogging took something of a back seat.
Saturday was supposed to have been our wedding day.
The new laws passed by the legislature went into effect early last week. Saturday, September the 19 would have been the first Saturday after that, and that's when we had planned our ceremony. Nothing fancy, a potluck celebration, outdoors on the water. Wedding party will all wear matching Hawaiian shirts of my own design. Shorts and sandals were to be the order of the day. Fun, friends, food, love, community. We spent Saturday with friends and doing a lot of driving, and we felt loved and supported, but with a bit of a pallor over it all. We should be on our honeymoon. Instead, I have a house party to speak at tonight, and Laura is canvassing downtown businesses for support.
We will have our minister friend Leela and our State Senator Dennis Damon officiate at our ceremony when it happens, but for now we don't know when that might be. It might be somewhere around the end of November, or it might be in a decade or more. We don't know. It depends on what the voters in Maine decide on November 3.
Here is a wicked cool video put out by the Protect Maine Equality people encouraging people to come to Maine for a "volunteer vacation." Here's the link with all the details and how to get information. People can come here, be put up by local folks, and volunteer on the campaign. I know we've got four or five places here in Hancock County (think Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor, etc.) that are ready to house people.
And you know what? If you come to Maine because you saw this here, I'll cook a meal for you. For real. With lobster even, if you want.
The world is watching Maine. When history writes this chapter, what will your role have been? Observer? Supporter? Participant?
Come be a part of history.

I'll be the first to admit that I am quite picky when it comes to visual aesthetics. The word "perfectionist" comes to mind, though I really despise that word and all that it represents.
This is the reason why I opted not to pursue graphic design. I was quite happy with my design work, but I was always on the quest for "perfection." Of course no such thing exists. Nothing is perfect, nor would I really want anything to be perfect. It is the imperfections in life that makes life worth living.
With graphic design, it would take a lot of work for the design to "click" into position, and have that polished feel. I'm sure that if I worked harder at design, and became even more adept with the software, I would feel more in control. I don't know that it would ever be a very fast process though.
With photography, I find that it is much easier to get that "click" feeling where everything falls into place. I think this partially stems from the fact that we have very little control over the scene as photographers. Maybe if I had superpowers that afforded me control over weather, sun position, and time, I would again be overwhelmed by the control at hand. Chances are that I would use that power for evil, so perhaps it is best that I do not control such things.
As landscape photographers who do not have control over our subject, it forces us to think, and to be creative. What is the best way to capture this scene? What angle best portrays the feeling I get from this beautiful location? I find it much easier to be happy with my work as a photographer than a graphic designer. If I make all of my decisions properly while taking the photo, I usually don't need to spend much time at all in Photoshop.
Besides, my girlfriend is a very talented graphic designer. Completing with her skills would be like me trying to swim against Phelps. My endless barrage of cannon balls (my speciality) might slow Phelps down a bit at first, but my trusty water wings sure make it tough for me to keep up with him.
All that work for a degree in graphic design did not go to waste though. I've got some awesome looking business cards.

We didn't even get outside today and it turned out to be a pretty nice day. The kids and I had a long, but fun day together while Matt was in a golf tournament. I took a few pictures, as promised!
Eli, Cara, and Brady wanted to help me go and get Allison after her morning nap. I went to turn on her light, turned around, and here is what I saw...
They climbed right up and started talking to her! Don't worry, Brady did climb up and hold himself up there right after I took this picture. Allie LOVED all of this attention and was squealing. Can you imagine this type of wake up call?
Later in the day I couldn't find Cara, so I went looking for her in some of her favorite "hide outs." Eventually I found her in the living room, remote in hand (a no no in our house), and with a diaper on her head. Earlier in the day we had made a hat out of a clean diaper and took turns wearing it. I guess she wanted to play that game again and also look for some trouble while doing so. I couldn't possibly scold her while she looked like this. Coincidentally, this is also a great head-tilt picture for the eye doctor (she is looking about 8 feet away at the tv)
The kids had me laughing all day because they kept talking about Mugsy the clown (the wonderful lady who came to the Brady Bash). After a while I started calling each of them Mugsy instead of their name. They just giggled and giggled as I said, "Come on Mugsy, time for lunch." Later in the day, I told Cara, "Stop throwing toys Cara" and she quickly replied, "No mommy, Mugsy stop throwing toys!" Ha!
Happy weekend!

Last night D asked Emma to be quiet..(she's quite a chatter box) and she found it very difficult. So he put a timer on to see how long she could last without talking. She lasted 1 minute 47 seconds. She tried again and got the hang of it and it turned out that a lengthy enforced silence resulted in this beautiful creation.
I love how Jodi and I are looking rather androgynous and Emma is clearly a beautiful princess. (PS I have her permission to post this)

This was said to me by one of my elderly male patients when I asked him how he was and if he had any health changes since his last visit:
"I feel like a newborn baby, I'm losing my hair, I'm losing my teeth, and I feel like I'm gonna to pee my pants."
I had to laugh!!

Preserve Los Angeles restaurants!
This week is Preservation Week. With various events nationwide, the American Library Association and partners such as the Library of Congress, are hoping to shed light on the importance of preservation (see the Preservation Week website for more info). Reading the Preservation Week materials it got me thinking about doing what I could by patronizing my favorite restaurants that have stood the test of time. before but the Safari Room never disappoints. It's definitely on my calendar for this week.

This was a nice follow up to "Where I need to be" however it was a lovey dovey book- I like a bit more couple drama not that there wasn't drama but the drama was outside the relationship so to say. Spencer has 3 admires which all 3 get in her personal space all in a short span from each other and the out come for each is different. Ending was Fabulous however there a cliff hanger- not one that will keep you up at night but one nonetheless. Seems Spencer & Brandon's story will continue with "Anything Like Me" coming late 2013.
"You're my something special."
"Ah, you're a keeper, Spencer, every guy wants a swallower."
"You're like the cheese to my mac or the cream to my coffee."

The Ashes
Yes. I did purposely forget to post about the 3rd test. Not a lot to say really. 3-0 pretty much sums it up. Many a wasted night watching Sky Sports. Hours that I will be unable to reclaim. Lets hope (and pray) that England manage to reclaim some much needed pride in the remaining tests.
5-0 is something I don't want to be reading about in the coming weeks.

One of the things I procrastinate about is money. I put off balancing the checkbook, filing paperwork, things like that. I have to be able to do it PERFECTLY and since that is incompatble with LIFE, it doesn't get done as promptly as I would like.
In the spirit of improving one's finances, and since finances are related to compulsions, hoarding and perfectionism, I've added some financial resources and blogs that I like to the right side-bar. Check them out; perhaps you'll be inspired to take care of some business.
Today, I took Older Daughter to have her yearly haircut--both Husband and I keep saying to her "You look so cute!". I think she's getting a bit tired of it. Let's see...hit the library and picked up some books and paid some fines. Did some laundry. Still haven't removed everything not furniture from the guest room. The boxes are heavy and I am easily discouraged recently.

Tacna has been blessed with a short-term missions team that comes yearly to set up two week medical clinics. The same church has taken the first step towards beginning a permanent clinic in Nueva Jerusalen, the poorest part of Tacna. Ebel is a peruvian doctor in the church and she has accepted the job to get this project moving forward. Please pray for the other 40% of the funding needed, between $30-50,000, either in materials or money.
Temple Guard Houses $15,000+
In Ciudad Nueva and especially in Nueva Jerusalen, we need to build the houses of the temple guards. They are currently living in their makeshift homes which aren't really intended to be lived in. We will need at least $15,000 to build both houses so that the families can live in better, proper houses.
Truck $15000+ or a donated truck under 5yrs old/48,000 miles
Nueva Jerusalen is located on the outskirts of Tacna and there is not public transportation to all places and during many hours. In order to get materials for any ministries the poorest of the three churches needs to pay high priced taxis. Also, many of the church members miss out on great seminars and preparation courses at two seminaries because they have no way to get to and from during night hours. In the future we envision having a farm in which the church in Nueva Jerusalen will probably be in charge of and they will also need to get back and forth.
Micro-business $18,000+/-
Hopefully Nueva Jerusalen will have a Hardware Store by the end of 2011. A micro-business will help the churches be more self-sustained, provide jobs, and better paying church employees. A hardware store would cost $18,000 to start up, but we are looking into other possibilities that could be helpful to lower the cost of ministries and also be a blessing to the community.
Micro-business Expansion $4000 or donated PC's
The success of the two current micro-businesses has encouraged us to expand the current business' to allow better pay for the workers, more income for the ministries, and lowering the running costs of the churches. We are looking to add a total of 8-10 computers.
Library in Nueva Jerusalen and Ciudad Nueva $2000+
With the blessing of having a small library in the Local Central church, the other two churches also have a desire to have the blessing of a library as well. The library has allowed many members and ministries to have books available to disciple, teach, and equip. Because we are attending a seminary here in Tacna we are allowed to get books at a discount between 35-45%. We hope to begin the two libraries with at least $1000 of books in each church.

Anyone who has read this blog over the past year knows that Suzi is a terrible, terrible sleeper. Anyone who knows me in any sort of way - via the internet, phone, or real life - knows that Suzi is a terrible sleeper. Even strangers can look at my exhausted face, those huge dark circles under my eyes and know that Suzi is a terrible sleeper.
When Chris called me from work Friday, he asked how Suzi had slept. I relayed to him what a horrific night it had been for both of us, and he told me that I sounded exhausted. I told him that, indeed, I was. So he suggested taking her downstairs with him for a couple of nights, to see if she just insists on nursing because I'm there.
So they have slept in the guest room for the last two nights - him in the bed, her in our old play yard. Guess who did just fine without nursing all freaking night??? Chris said she cried out three times the first night - once he just patted her butt and she went right back to sleep. The second time she cried for about 10 or 15 minutes before she settled back down, and the third time she cried for just a couple of minutes. Chris only lost a total of about a half hour of sleep that night.
So we tried it again last night. He said she woke up twice. The first time he picked her up for a couple of minutes, then patted her butt and she went right back to sleep, and the second time he just patted her butt. He lost, he said, five to ten minutes of sleep. And they both slept until 10:15. Unbelievable.
I have consistently lost a minimum of three hours of sleep EVERY SINGLE NIGHT for the last thirteen and a half months. For the last week that has included two solid hours of screaming if I dared to lay her back down.
All I have to say is, MAN I WISHED WE HAD TRIED THIS SOONER.
I told Chris that I can't help but hate both of them just a little bit right now.

Many hotel revenue managers live and die by their page position on OTA default searches. From Expedia's Most Popular picks, to Orbitz' Best Bets, to Agoda's Recommended, all of these listings are at the top of search results because the specific OTA made a (very subjective) decision based on a million possible factors, including the relationship that a property has with their OTA market manager, the commission that a property is paying, payment status (paid in full, late payments, etc.), amount of inventory (including last-minute inventory) listed on the site and the pictures included in your property's listing, among many others.
Some revenue managers (mistakenly) believe that being the top (or one of the top hotels) listed on a given OTA default search, will positively impact their bookings and revenues. They aspire to always stay in that high position, because they believe that if their competition were to overtake their page position, they would most likely also steal their customers.
In our experience working with OTAs and examining consumers' booking habits, we have decided that we disagree with this very common belief among hoteliers.
The default search results don't reflect consumers actual search habits
According to Expedia, 95% of all transactions on their site take place with hotels listed on the first page of a consumer's search results (source: HotelNewsNow) which is true. But what this stat doesn't specify however, is that the hotels that show up on the customer's sorted (not default search) results are the only properties that have a greater chance of getting the booking. Let's look at an examples:
I did a search on one of the major OTAs for a hotel stay in Miami Beach, FL from July 20-22 and, as always, the default results showed ads first and then a list of other hotels (according to the default sort criteria). The first property was listed at $310 (4.5 stars), $89 (2 stars) and $139 (3 stars). Even to a consumer who isn't aware of which factors affect a hotel's page position, they will be able to see that this list of results are all over the map, and that they don't show the property with the best value (which is the primary factor that most consumers use to select a hotel).
When I change the filter to sort by price (which is the most common sorting method for consumers), the properties are listed in ascending order according to price. After sorting, the first property is listed at $48/night (1.5 stars), $69 (2 stars), $83 (1.5 stars), $89 (2 stars) and $94 (2 stars). The next step most consumers will take to filter the results is to select the star rating(s) that they prefer and, in most cases, this will be three, four or five star hotels. From there, a consumer will search for the best combination of rate, star rating and amenities to determine which property is the best value for their specific needs.
This is the standard search method for the majority of consumers who use OTAs to book a hotel stay. While there may be a few people out there who use only the default search results, most consumers understand online searching enough to know that filtering their results will make it quicker and easier to find the property that best suits their specific needs.
In short, unless your property is listed on search results that reflect consumers' actual search habits, you are highly unlikely to secure a higher number of bookings even if you are listed first on the first page of an OTA's default search results.
So how can you improve your page position on sorted search results?
While we would never advocate for discounting, price is the most important factor in securing a higher page position on the sorted search results and therefore, obtaining the most bookings from potential customers. Instead of discounting, ensure that you are constantly monitoring your competition's room rates, the demand in your destination and your inventory levels and adjust your prices regularly according to that info. Because you will automatically earn a higher page position if your rates are better than the majority of other properties in your destination, this will be an effective solution to generating more bookings and increasing revenues.
And of course, the best way to monitor all of the ever-changing factors that affect what entails the best price at any given time is an automated revenue management system. A sophisticated RMS will monitor all of these factors in real-time, will analyze the data, suggest the best rate and then update all OTAs with that price. In short, a sophisticated RMS will help a property to generate more bookings and revenue through the online channel, without the revenue manager being overburdened with the constant, tedious processes necessary to do so.

We are pleased to be part of a new UN plan of action calling for "Religious Leaders and Actors to Prevent Incitement to Violence that Could Lead to Atrocity Crimes."
The inaugural event was held during the July 2017 High Level Political Forum. The Temple of Understanding is proud that our board member Dr. Ephraim Isaac spoke at the September session, as the UN encourages broad stakeholder participation in this crucial initiative. His full address, which is offered below, focuses on personal experience of atrocity, and recommends art and music as part of the solution. He concludes with a quote from Einstein: "The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it".
The entire September 25, 2017 session is available on UN Web TV online.

A Personal Testimony on Atrocity Crime
Implementing the Plan of Action for Religious Leaders and Actors to Prevent Incitement
to Violence that Could lead to Atrocity Crimes (Plan of Action)
UN 72nd Session of the United Nations General Assembly Side Event
Ephraim Isaac, BA, BD, Ph.D., D.H.L. (h.c.) D. Litt. (h.c.)
Institute of Semitic Studies
September 25, 2017
EXCELLENCIES & HONORABLE GUESTS: I am honored to stand here and give my full support to the Implementation of the Plan of Action for Religious Leaders and Actors to Prevent Incitement to Violence that could lead to atrocity Crimes. Our world is today awash with atrocity crimes and the perpetrations of huge atrocities against humanity. I therefore not only wholeheartedly support and endorse this Plan of Action but will do my best to promote it as far as I humbly can in collaboration with the Ethiopian Peace and Development Center whose Board I chair.
Right at the outset let me, however, on behalf of my Ethiopian Peace & Development Center and myself congratulate the UN office of Genocide Prevention, in particular, His Excellence Ambassador Adama Dieng who has worked so diligently to put this plan before us. His personal commitment to the subject, his hard work, and his humility in undertaking this huge task is admirable. As Chair of the Board of Peace and Development Center of Ethiopia, I thank him very much for inviting me to be a partner of his admirable effort. My humble gratitude also goes to all the co-sponsors of this project, the United Nations Inter-Agency Task Force on Religion and Development, the Permanent Observer Mission of the Holy See to the United Nations, and the Global Centre for the Responsibility to Protect.
The recognition that Religious leaders and practitioners can and must support and promote this effort goes without saying. In order to emphasize why I support this Plan of Action, in this brief address, I share with you four things: a) my own direct personal experience of the effect of violence b) my indirect personal experience of the effect of violence, and c) my philosophical understanding of the problem of violence d) the commitment of our own Peace & Development Center of Ethiopia to support the recommendations of the Plan.
I am a scholar of ancient Near Eastern and African civilizations, but the knowledge of the crime of atrocity is for me not an academic subject. I am myself a personal witness to some of those atrocious human deeds and violence, going back to my early childhood days.
I was born in Ethiopia the year the Fascists — I do not mean Italians who have a long warm historical friendship with Ethiopia– I mean Fascists — invaded the country. My first childhood experience at age four in 1941 was not being taken to see beautiful pictures in museums but to be lined up with children of my age by a pre-kindergarten teacher in front of a row of a couple dozen naked political prisoners hurled on the ground, being whipped and bleeding. It is a personal memory of crying while standing and staring at a couple of persons being hanged on high poles in the presence of priests. It is seeing buildings being burnt and crying. I believe some of you also have such childhood experience of horror.
My first childhood memory was not dining in a fancy restaurant but sitting hungry in a narrow underground dungeon my family had dug as a shelter a week before the Ethiopian army with British support arrived in my little town of Nedjio, western Ethiopia, where the Fascist army had its headquarter. I remember crying as we sat in the dungeon while the unremitting sound of bombs and artilleries like a thunderstorm that never stops deafened our ears.
My first childhood memory was not seeing my playmates singing joyfully, but weeping because one of them Desta was hit and killed by an exploding bomb. Not understanding what death meant I remember crying and demanding that he should return as soon as possible to play with me. Now you can see where my strong hate of any form of violence and conflict originates.
My first childhood memory was not singing which I love but crying as my father — a non-political, innocent, hardworking silversmith, a religious Jew who chanted in Hebrew as he worked — was being taken by a soldier who said the Fascists were now sending Jews to life imprisonment. Thank the Almighty, he was released after two months and returned home to our great joy.
My first childhood experience was not being taken to a school but to a distant countryside shelter, three hours away from home, where we lived as refugees for two months until our town was cleared of fighting. It is a memory of being scared, held by my father on his lap sitting on a mule as we fled, and sleeping on a crowded floor with my four brothers and two sisters.
In short, never mind the degree of my experience, from the very start of my life I saw, I heard, and I felt the force of human violence against fellow humans. I saw the sight of death. I hated it and I continue to hate seeing violence of any sort against any one single human being, let alone the horrible atrocity violence against a whole ethnic and religious group.
Secondly, directly or indirectly if only from a distance, I felt deeply in my bones the bitterness of violence in my country of birth in the late 1970's, caused not by a foreign power but by its own native political fanatics. I was emotionally wounded when the Marxist Leninist Derg Red Terror, consumed thousands of young and old, men and women, eliminated because of their religious or political convictions. Among the 61 high Ethiopian Government ministers and officials of Emperor Haile Sellasie, who were lined up and shot indiscriminately, there were many whom I knew personally very well. My close personal friend, the interim successor of the Emperor, General Aman Andom, was taken down as his house was razed to the ground by tanks; His Grace the Patriarch of Ethiopia Abuna Tewoflos, whom I tutored Hebrew when I was in College and became a great friend, the Reverend Gudina Tumsa, President of the Mekane Yesus Protestant Church, who sat next to me in elementary school, General Tadesse Biru, my Predecessor as Director General of the National Literacy Campaign Organization of Ethiopia, and a number of close high school and university friends were tortured and murdered and thrown into mass graves by the fanatic Marxist-Leninist missionaries of atrocious violence.
Like many of you distinguished members of this audience, I have been exposed to stories of atrocity crimes of the recent past beyond my own circle. I gave several lectures in Belgrade, Sarajevo, and traveled in former Yugoslavia. This year, I was a committee member, reader and judge of a university doctoral dissertation pertaining to the trauma and tragedy of the Tamil-Buddhist conflict in Sri Lanka, its special effect on women. I met and listened to refugees and survivors of Rwandan, South Sudanese, and Darfurian conflicts in Addis Ababa where I travel often. Who is not frozen in shock when we see images of the beheading of Ethiopian, Eritrean, and Coptic Christians in Libya, Europeans, Americans, Japanese in Iraq and Syria, or the massacre of Kenyans and international shoppers in Nairobi, restaurant and coffee shop patrons in Tel Aviv, campers in Norway, sport spectators, theater audiences in London, Paris, Copenhagen, and the WTC September 11 hardworking professionals, firefighters, and policemen—beside whose body remains in boxes I stood shivering three mornings, invited to deliver a Jewish memorial prayer?
I have no proof, but there was a widespread rumor that after the Ethiopian 2005 General Election, overtones of interethnic propaganda of hatred led to a major crisis. The subsequent clash between the police and the thousands of demonstrators ended in a bloody incident and saw the foremost elected leaders of the major opposition political party in jail. I am grateful that both sides accepted me personally to lead a group of traditional elders to negotiate peace among the parties and the Government, and the release of the twenty-five elected political leaders and thousands of their followers from jail. Close to about one million people were said to have come out and danced in the streets the eve of the Ethiopian Year 2000. I also personally witnessed the tragic result of a quarrel that resulted in the war between the two brotherly countries of Ethiopia and Eritrea during the 1998-2000, as I shuttled between Addis Ababa and Asmara with a group of my Ethiopian and Eritrean Elders whom both sides warmly welcomed.
In a recent conversation with a distinguished retired Pastor, we discussed how every human being is a candidate for actions of depravity, and how depravity triggers religious or ethnic hate. Every mortal—we are all mortal–is subject to fall. Even religious leaders who know the rules and preach them become victims of this human weakness. [confessor father in hell joke?] As Einstein is thought to have once said "I can calculate everything even the velocity of light. But I cannot fathom the hate of people behind their smile." No one can fathom the human infamy and depravity and mischief that end up sinking humanity into tragic pits of crimes of atrocity.
The first and principal source of destructive wars is not religion or social groups eo ipso. It is the behavior and actions of single individuals. History seems to point that conflicts arise from an individual's mind, selfish goal, beliefs,self-interest, personal glory, feeling of superiority, greed or love of money, and of course personal sense of a divine mission or karma. One individual — Nero, Rasputin, Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Idi Amin, Mengistu, Ben Ladin. et. al. — a single person could ignite the fire of violence and brainwash a crowd, and the whole society then becomes conflagrated because of one single human ego.
Although he did not argue that specifically, Freud implied that in a famous dialogue with Einstein. In 1932, the League of Nations Institute of Intellectual Cooperation asked Professor Einstein to choose a subject he considered of central public interest and invite a person of his choice fora dialogue. Einstein chose the subject," Is there a way of delivering mankind from the Menace of War" and invited Freud for the dialogue. Two of the great thinkers of that time, both pacifists, thus left us a record of their view about violence and war. Einstein wondered why some believe in the concept of "might makes right".The two basically agreed on the existence of an instinct of hate in humans and the belief in "might makes right. Freud preferred to call might "violence".
Freud discussed the concept of l'union fait la force and how larger states were formed and established laws to prevent violence such as pax Romana. But he focused on his theory of the two instincts in humans: the erotic (basically positive and creative and loving as in religion) and the aggressive (basically negative and destructive and hating). However, in his final answer to Einstein he concluded saying that regardless we must try to divert and channel man's aggressive tendencies to promote love, the cultural development of humanity (although he saw in civilization itself destructiveness), and conversion of people to the hatred of violence, to be pacifists like him and Freud- and me too!
Atrocity crimes start with atrocious minds and foul propaganda of an egocentric individual of negative instinct. This Plan of Action rightly recognizes that atrocity crimes start with the seed of evil propaganda against a religious or ethnic group. The propaganda serves over time to dehumanize the group and turn them into "the other". Racial and religious propaganda of hatred not only engender severe psychological and mental health problems, but they also lead directly to death and destruction. Mein Kampf was a propaganda document of a political ideology for the Jewish Holocaust. The destruction of Africa, slavery and colonialism, Apartheid, [I was a key member of the Harvard-Radcliffe Alumni Against Apartheid in the 1980's] started with the belief that Africans are subhuman. Reports of travelers and study by anthropologists claimed that Europeans have history Africans are primitive, Europeans are rational and Africans are irrational, Europeans have a wide facial angle, Africans have narrow facial angle, compared to the crocodile; and so on. We have all seen images of people in Syria, Iraq, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan waging hateful propaganda against each other, terrorist groups beheading innocent persons on TV in broad daylight as propaganda. Preventing incitement propaganda that lead to violence is a key antidote to committing crime against humanity.
It is worrisome when today we hear foul inter-ethnic and inter-religious propaganda that we read in the Facebook or Twitter, or hear in radio talks about one group supported by one or another religious or ethnic leader vehemently spewing propaganda against one or another ethnic or religious group. So, I appreciate wholeheartedly the thoughtful recommendations of the Plan of Action before us. We must prevent religious and ethnic propaganda of hate and nip them in the bud before they result in atrocious bloodshed.
Our Ethiopian Peace and Development Center (PDC), whose Board I chair, is already committed to this Plan. We now work with both the government and non-government organizations to address violent religious extremism in Ethiopia. We conduct interfaith dialogues to promote trust and understanding, and the deconstruction of combative conflict narratives among the religious groups. PDC is also educating the public to appreciate the riches of diversity. We give customized training to the Inter-Religious Councils (IRC) members to enhance their knowledge of the issues, causes, and consequences of violent extremism. So far, PDC has trained 2,500 members of the Inter-Religious Council and student leaders in five public universities in Ethiopia, initiating religious acceptance dialogues and Peace Meal Tables in dining halls to bring students of different religious groups together to interact and engage constructively in a safe space, as well as to understand the dangers of hateful propaganda that lead to violence.
Student religious opinion leaders are recruited to join interested students from diverse religious backgrounds for small bi-weekly groups to moderate dialogue sessions on issues of the causes and consequences of violent extremism and the importance of peaceful coexistence, and the respect of religious freedom and equality. PDC trains and mentors dialogue moderators who are carefully chosen. The dialogue work of PDC has so far, a direct and indirect effect on at least 10,000 university students yearly in the selected universities.
Finally, let me say that even above and beyond human depravity, there is still a ray of light for redemption. We have a tragic situation and there must be someway to reverse it.Hence this Plan of Action that I am sure is produced because of such belief in human redemption is of great importance. I stand here myself to support it, because I believe that there are still good people who uphold peace and justice and live and practice a life of love and goodness. The Plan is solid and comprehensive. It cracks the cynicism that sometimes exists about the UN. It is also encouraging to see how many religious groups around the world have associated themselves with it. It might not be easy in the implementation area. In virtually every part of the world, even where the religious groups that are supportive exist, we have religious minorities who engage in daily activities that run contrary to what the Plan says. What can we do to make this Plan of Action a real plan of action that stretches broadly and deeply among human kind? That really is the question. We must, therefore, work hard together, joined by all other interested groups and parties, to implement this excellent statement to be retailed not only at the grassroots level but also at individuals, which is where the problem lies.
Please allow me now to conclude with some humble personal suggestions for the Plan. First,I would like to see the role of music and art in the Plan of Action. Music and art have the capacity to touch the human heart, "sooth the soul" or inspire action. That is why there are national anthems and military bands. Music, art, and dance can serve to promote reconciliation and understanding, and inspire the restless youth.In Bosnia, Father Ivo, one of my fellow Tanenbaum Center Prize awardee, formed a Choir of Christians and Muslims. In Ethiopia, we are now in the process of forming nation-wide Peace Choirs. We can sing "You 'e got to be taught to love" instead of "You've got to be taught to hate." Second, in the spirit of the importance of education, I would propose two-UN memorial days: a) a Memorial Day of Tragedy and Human Infamy and Remembrance of Past Atrocity Crimes, somewhat like the Holocaust Memorial Day, b) a Day of Hope– Day of Human Hope for the end of Atrocity crimes. Third, some years ago, I proposed to both His Excellency the Late PM of Ethiopia and His Excellency the President of Eritrea to establish the Ministry of Peace in parallel to the Ministry of Defense. I pray that the UN would see merit to such an idea and promote it.
Let me conclude with a quotation from Einstein and a short prayer: "The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it". I am happy that the UN and Religious Leaders are doing this important work to counter the danger of atrocity violence and lay a foundation for a hopeful vision of humankind.
Open our eyes to see light and beauty in our fellow human beings
Open our ears to hear the song of love from our fellow human beings
Open our mouth to speak well of our fellow human beings
Let our feet hasten to do good for our fellow human beings.
Let us lift our hands embrace humanity, not use them to throw weapons at each other.
May the Almighty bless the work of all who work for peace and love worldwide!
The Temple of Understanding, one of the oldest interfaith organizations in North America, stands with our many partners, the Parliament of World Religions, faith leaders of all traditions, corporations, universities and concerned citizens in condemning President's Trump's unconscionable action pulling out of the Paris Agreement. We will continue to work towards a sustainable future in our towns and cities regardless of the lack of support from our misinformed US government leadership.
Show your support for the Paris Agreement and Climate Action >>
In a recent sermon entitled "Defiant Hope," Rev. Dr. Jim Antal of the United Church of Christ urged his listeners to speak up about climate issues:
Defiant hope believes that we are called by God to change what appears to be inevitable, and that God has given us everything we need to engage. […] So our first task is to end this silence. And it turns out that the biggest predictor of people's willingness to take action to defend creation is whether they are in regular contact with others who believe and act like them. In other words, by breaking our silence and sharing our views and values with others, we will empower one another to take action.
And this is where church comes in. Looking back, slavery would not have ended if it hadn't have been for church. And just as the church responded to God's call over 200 years ago, God is calling the church of today to defend God's gift of creation. Humanity will not make the changes science says we must unless the church becomes a center for conversation, discernment, support and action.
From the Parliament of the World's Religions Statement:
The Parliament of the World's Religions condemns in the strongest possible terms the President's decision to renege on the commitment of the United States to the Paris Climate Agreement, a pact signed by 195 nations and formally ratified by 147 nations.
The decision is wrong from every relevant perspective:
Scientifically, it is unsound and indefensible.
Economically, it undermines the ability of the United States to build a competitive economy for the future, sacrificing US jobs at almost every level of production and service, sacrificing American competitiveness in every market.
Medically, it condemns hundreds of thousands to unnecessary sickness and premature death.
Politically, it undermines the United States' credibility and trustworthiness with its strongest allies as well as its fiercest competitors, and thus strikes a self-inflicted blow against national security.
Our condemnation of this decision is based on our conviction that the decision is wrong, but not just in the sense that it is incorrect. This decision is wrong in the sense that it is evil—it will result in devastation to life on Earth for generations to come. Its global consequences and impact on every living being on the planet makes it fundamentally immoral.
From the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change Statement:
The Paris Agreement remains a historic treaty signed by 195 Parties and ratified by 146 countries plus the European Union. […]
The Paris Agreement is aimed at reducing risk to economies and lives everywhere, while building the foundation for a more prosperous, secure and sustainable world. It enjoys profound credibility, as it was forged by all nations and is supported by a growing wave of business, investors, cities, states, regions and citizens. We are committed to continue working with all governments and partners in their efforts to fast forward climate action at global and national levels.
Grove Harris represented the Temple of Understanding at the April 29 Climate March in D.C. as part of the Interfaith Groups mobilization for People's Climate Marches. Rev. Fletcher Harper of GreenFaith led the interfaith contingent in sitting down in silence, then joining in a common heartbeat rhythm, and finally rising up in voice, as a special part of the march.
Overall, more than 200,000 gathered in Washington DC and millions joined in over 375 marches around the globe, all standing up in concern for our climate and against regressive politics. The 91 degree heat in April did not deter marchers; rather it reinforced concern.
Faith in Place: Faithful People Caring for the Earth provided reflections on the People's Climate March.

The Temple of Understanding collaboratively organized three successful sessions and an interfaith service of remembrance during the 61st Annual Commission on the Status of Women.
For the overall proceedings, we suggest this report by colleague Kate Lappin, of APWLD and the Women's Major Group, who assessed Four wins at CSW this year:
- Committing to gender responsive just transitions in the context of climate change
- Recognising the role of trade unions in addressing economic inequalities and the gender pay gap
- More detailed methods to ensure the redistribution of unpaid care work
- Referring to the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (DRIP) [Read more]
Also recommended is the Report on CSW61 and Analysis of the Agreed Conclusions by Ms. Lakshmi Puri, UN Assistant Secretary-General and Deputy Executive Director of UN Women.
This year's interfaith service again remembered women murdered for standing up for their rights. Four months after the death of Berta Cáceres, her colleague Lesbia Yaneth Urquia was murdered for the same work: trying to stop a hydroelectric project that threatened water and land. The Council of Indigenous People of Honduras (Copinh) is quoted as writing, "The death of Lesbia Yaneth is a political femicide that tries to silence the voices of women with the courage and bravery to defend their rights."
Our joint DPI/NGO session was entitled "Women as Roots of Change: Sustainable Food Production and Sovereignty." Speakers included Sister Celine Paramunda, Medical Mission Sisters; Betty Lyons (Onondaga Nation), American Indian Law Alliance; Roberto Mukaro Borrerro, International Indian Treaty Council; and Dr. Chantal Line Carpentier, Chief, New York UNCTAD. It was a pleasure to collaborate with DPI colleagues Hawa Diallo, who brilliantly introduced the panel, and the production team including Krystal Fruscella and Chioma Onwumelu (all pictured below).
The complete session can be viewed on UN Web TV by clicking the image below:
Our session "On a Gender-Just and Sustainable Trade Agenda," co-sponsored by UNCTAD and the Women's Major Group, both highlighted the need for more advocacy towards a gendered understanding of trade policies, and commended women's activism in pushing for it. UNCTAD has a set of online publications that are part of their gender initiative. They write, "Taking into account gender perspectives in macro-economic policy, including trade policy, is essential to pursuing inclusive and sustainable development and to achieving fairer and beneficial outcomes for all."
This event, held in the Ex-Press Bar, was hugely successful. The room was filled to capacity (over 80 people) and the audience included a graduate class of women training in international affairs.
Grove Harris moderated and showed the film, Roots of Change: Food Sovereignty, Women and Eco-Justice. Speaker Kate Lappin was brilliant, explaining that development funding reverts profits back to the donor countries and further demystifying trade. Then Dr. Chantal Line Carpentier congratulated women's activism, which has driven UNCTAD's new gender and trade initiative. After the panel, Dr. Carpentier expressed appreciation for the opportunity to keep working with the NGO community on trade and financial concerns.
Speakers from the floor included Alina Saba, an Indigenous youth from Nepal who spoke to a community perspective, rather than an implicitly individualistic one. Nick Anton spoke on the new People's Water Guide, and Ana Alvarez brought up the issue of corporate power. Theresa Blumenfield questioned UNCTAD's uncritical acceptance of the corporate strategy of developing robots to avoid paying human workers.
Our session "Roots of Change: Reclaiming Economics for Women and Community" gave the audience an opportunity to exchange personal views and voice heartfelt concerns. We are especially grateful for the presence of speakers Crystal Simeoni of FEMNET and Sister Celine Paramunda of Medical Mission Sisters. Simeoni's background in rural economic development and fighting inequality was coupled with clarity and insight. Sr. Paramunda offered heartfelt remarks on women's leadership and spirit. She also led a brief meditation about breath and relationship, relating us to trees and the cycle of oxygen and carbon dioxide.
FEMNET, the African Women's Development and Communication Network, offered a set of Red Flags expressing grave concerns about the direction of CSW61. Naming eighteen areas of concern, they warn, "The 61st session of the UN Commission on the Status of Women is heading toward a weak, even regressive, outcome that fails to address the current state of the world of work, let alone address future challenges." These areas will require ongoing monitoring and activism.

We at the Temple of Understanding are inspired by Repairers of the Breach, who are nonpartisan and in the inclusive interfaith tradition of people of faith and no faith advancing a moral agenda:
"Repairers of the Breach, Inc. is a nonpartisan and ecumenical organization that seeks to build a progressive agenda rooted in a moral framework to counter the ultra-conservative constructs that try to dominate the public square. Repairers will help frame public policies which are not constrained or confined by the narrow tenets of neo-conservatism. Repairers will bring together clergy and lay people from different faith traditions, with people without a spiritual practice but who share the moral principles at the heart of the great moral teachings. Repairers will expand a "school of prophets" who can broadly spread the vision of a nation that is just and loving." [www.breachrepairers.org]
"A truly moral agenda must be anti-racist, anti-poverty, pro-justice, pro-labor, transformative and deeply rooted and built within a fusion coalition. It would ask of all policy, is the policy Constitutionally consistent, morally defensible and economically sane. We call this moral analysis and moral articulation which leads to moral activism." —Rev. Dr. William, J. Barber, II

There was a reason I didn't put "Fall" away before I started "Christmas": every year, something comes up that requires "just a few more fall pieces", and this time, it's a sale in late September.
Luckily, I remembered these dopey little ghost pots, all 72 of them.
It's actually fun doing them as a production line, and they're not NEARLY as dopey as I originally thought once they're done.
(I forgot to get a pic of a finished pot, but, hey, stop in at the store after the 19th--they'll be inside the front door at $9.99 each.
What a deal!

We started with the easiest. I swear Brooke would like bubbles and candles for her bath time.
Brooke likes to go through your legs and wipe her wet head on your butt. She does this all the time when she comes in from the rain. Glad it was Scott's butt this time.
Next was Daisy's turn. This was Daisy's first bath.
It was a lot better than I thought it would be.
Sawyer's turn. While not thrilled with the bath he's a good boy and doesn't hold it against Scott.
Sharon says "No thanks, I'm good right here."
She's good once she gets in there. When she was younger she used to spread her legs out which made it really difficult to get her in the tub.

United States District Court, Sixth Circuit
July 9, 2013
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff,v.CHARLES NELSON MONROE ISON, Defendant.
DAVID L. BUNNING, District Judge.
This matter is before the Court upon the Report and Recommendation ("R&R") of the United States Magistrate Judge wherein he recommends that the Court revoke Defendant's supervised release and impose a sentence of twelve (12) months incarceration, with Defendant then continuing any unexpired term of supervised release. (Doc. # 231). During the final revocation hearing conducted by Magistrate Judge Atkins on June 20, 2013, Defendant stipulated to violating several conditions of his supervised release as set forth in the March 27, 2013 Supervised Release Violation Report and June 11, 2013 addendum. (Doc. # 229). Specifically, he admitted violating the following conditions:
The defendant shall not commit another federal, state or local crime;
The defendant shall report to the probation officer and shall submit a truthful and complete written report within the first five days of each month;
The defendant shall not associate with any persons engaged in criminal activity and shall not associate with any person convicted of a felony, unless granted permission to do so by the probation officer;
The defendant shall participate in a substance abuse treatment program and shall submit to periodic drug and alcohol testing at the direction and discretion of the probation officer during the term of supervision;
Although the total amount of restitution in this matter is greater, the defendant shall pay restitution in the amount of $2, 430.98, which shall be due immediately. This amount shall be joint and several with his co-defendants. The defendant shall pay $25 quarterly installment payments while incarcerated, unless employed through the Bureau of Prisons UNICOR Industries, then she shall pay $60 per quarter. Any unpaid remaining balance she become a condition of his supervision and a payment schedule will be set by subsequent order.
(Doc. # 231, at 2-3); (Doc. # 159, at 3-4).
Defendant having executed a waiver of his right to allocution (Doc. # 230), there being no objections filed to the Magistrate Judge's R&R, and the time to do so having now expired, the R&R is ripe for the Court's consideration. Having reviewed the R&R, and the Court concluding that the R&R is sound in all respects, including the recommended sentence and the basis for said recommendation, and the Court being otherwise sufficiently advised,
IT IS ORDERED as follows:
(1) The Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation (Doc. # 231) is ADOPTED as the findings of fact and conclusions of law of the Court;
(2) Defendant is found to have VIOLATED the terms of his supervised release;
(3) Defendant's supervised release is hereby REVOKED;
(4) Defendant is sentenced to the CUSTODY of the Attorney General for a period of TWELVE (12) MONTHS, and will then continue on any ...

Soo... I have decided to use blogging as an outlet for my thoughts. Be forewarned I am not politically correct. I do, however, try to be biblically correct. I love Jesus. I am imperfect. I have a passion for Africa. I have four tattoos. I speak in movie quotes. My favorite sense of humor is dry, witty humor. Bacon. Pepsi. The Office. I'm socially awkward. I love jeans and chucks.
Some (or all) of you might be wondering why I chose the name Jimney's Cricket. We all know that Jimney Cricket was Pinocchio's "conscience". But who influenced Jimney? We are all subject to influence. At any given time we are influencing others and being influenced by others. Who are you letting in your circle of influence? Who is being influenced by you?
As I am growing and maturing I am beginning to understand just how crucial it is to surround yourself with people that you can glean from. Learn from. And allow yourself to be in a position to impart knowledge, to listen, to invest, to mentor.
That's me in a nutshell.


text: i've recently bought a peavey combo115 amp and the 210 TVX ext. cab the combo has a 1x15" speaker and is 200w@4ohms and 300w@2ohms, the cab is a 2x10 and is 175w@4ohm. i absolutely loves the thing, it has great tone, plenty of punch, loads of bottom, and plenty of volume, HOWEVER my band does a couple of reggae/dub songs, and for this there needs to be LOADS of bass, which the 1x15 can handle fine, but the 2x10 tends to stuggle with it, especially on the low B. the output for the ext. cab it just a 1/4" jack, with no controll over it. is there any way to limit the lower frequencies being sent to the 2x10, as it sounds quite naff, and i'm sure it's not good for the speakers a friend suggested putting an EQ pedal between the amp output and the cab input and cut the low frequencies on that, would that work? thanks for your help Tom

Cooking is like dancing – to keep it fresh you need to learn new steps.
Thanks to Mallika's Quick Indian Cooking, I have added curry leaves and tamarind to my repertoire.
I had to improvise with the other ingredients.
Tonight was cold and misty so instead of eating grated organic carrots as a salad, I fried them in olive oil. In this bold mood, I also fried organic alfafa sprouts, the first time ever.
At the carrot stage, I also fried ten dried curry leaves, which wilted aromatically – not scary at all. Then mustard seeds and a teaspoon of tamarind paste.
I could not resist adding a quarter of a tin of coconut milk and snippets of dried chilli for spicy creaminess.
I finished off a packet of organic cha sob green tea noodles that had been lurking in my store cupboard – they only took three minutes to cook.
It was a quick supper to make and delightful to eat, while the tamarind emparted a tart lemony-lusciousness – my new exciting dance step, definitely.

So the art galleries have been pretty cool throughout the semester. I really enjoyed going to them. I will probably continue visiting them just to see whats up with the CSULB art scene. This week I was just grabbed by the exhibition by Troy Rounseville. It was a room filled with instruments automated and programmed to play themselves, all being controlled by motion sensors in a room of mirrors. Waving my hand in front of one of the mirror-walls would initiate the kick drum to play. Ambient C-chords were played throughout the whole process of interaction in this exhibit. It really exemplified on communication. To me I saw it as the things we do can initiate an interaction with something we don't expect. The room full of mirrors showed me initiating the chords and the kicks.

The single biggest monthly report on the economy is the Non Farm Payrolls report, a measure of how many jobs have been created in the economy during a given month. This report is released the first Friday of every month and is usually market moving (that is, stocks and bonds react to it). You can read the WSJ report on today's figure here
The WSJ reports that NFP rose a healthy 166 thousand gain in employment for Oct, helping to ease concerns that a recession is immanent. More important than the headline figure, which can be distorted because it is always revised, is the 3m average of 117k. 117k average over 3m is a healthy figure given market conditions.
Why is this important? Think of jobs as a way to estimate whether aggregate demand is going to be strong or weak. If employers were expecting AD to be weak, then they probably would not be hiring employees in order to boost output. Further, an increase the amount of jobs boosts income and this should help to support spending. This is extra important at a time when falling home prices threaten to hurt consumer spending.
However, economists debate whether this report can be used to predict the economies future. Some economic data is considered to be a "leading indicator of the economy" while others tend to be a "lagging indicator." Click here for a detailed breakdown over which economic data is considered leading or lagging.
In general, the unemployment rate is considered to be a lagging indicator (that is, the economy will slow and then the unemployment rate will rise). The payroll report is sometimes considered a lagging indicator but other times is considered a "coincident" indicator (it falls as the economy is weakening). In this case the markets are likely to consider it a coincident indicator and this should help ease concerns over a recession.
However, all is not well since the stock market fell yesterday and data on the housing market has been extremely weak. Although the stock market could see a rally today, I doubt it will return to the highs of early Oct before the latest round of worries commenced. It is, however, safe to say the Fed will not be cutting next month with GDP and employment coming in rather strong (pointing to decent AD) and oil prices so high (pointing to possible near term inflation).

Normally on Friday I run a "Greatest Hits" post, something from the past. This week I am doing it today, this was originally posted on September 11, 2011 the tenth anniversary of the terrorist attacks on our nation.
The text has been edited to reflect the current dates:
Two visitors to a FDNY E4/L7 look at the roster from 9/11 and the cards, letters and flowers sent by well wishers. They lost 4 members. Hard to believe it was eleven years ago today.
At FDNY Engine 3/Ladder 12/Battalion 7 a memorial outside the station honoring the 5 members who lost their lives in the WTC collapse.
At FDNY Engine 1/Ladder 24. The memorial that includes Father Mychal Judge whose church is across the street, and items sent from all over the country to the FDNY. This station lost 3 firefighters plus Father Mike.
This was sent at 09:59 10 years to the minute the South Tower collapsed. The North Tower collapsed at 10:28.
While these photos have been of New York City don't forget the brave men and women in Washington D.C at the Pentagon that was struck at 09:37 and the brave souls aboard Flight 93 who forced the plane to crash in an open field in Shanksville PA.
Anyone and everyone associated with this tragedy is a true American hero.

We talk a lot about "Big Media" — tending to mean mass media — let's talk more about "Big Publishing" (a type of big media in my book).
In Amazon and Hachette's ongoing battle over a new contract, Amazon has received most of the blame — and that's probably not surprising since it's the party cutting off pre-orders, messing with search and shipping Hachette books with multiweek delays. Authors, in particular, have come out on Hachette's side — John Green, J. K. Rowling, James Patterson and Malcolm Gladwell (who shall henceforth be known as Explaino the Clown). So nobody's on Amazon's side, right?
Well, actually… To every backlash there is a counter-backlash, and in recent days some pro-Amazon sentiment has trickled out — or if it's not fully pro-Amazon, exactly, it's at least … conflicted. So who's saying what? Here are the general themes:
Hachette is a big company, too
Amazon isn't the monopoly we have to worry about, Hugh Howey, the author of the bestselling self-published Wool trilogy (which Simon &…

One of Lisbon's treasures is not a secret among locals or tourists. When we talk about amazing views of Lisbon, we think of this cozy, charming, little bar located on the rooftop of the Bairro Alto Hotel: Terrace. From here we can see the rooftop of the typical portuguese houses, all the way to the river. The sunset from here is incredible and as the night falls you see all the little lights starting to illuminate the city. The famous Garrett sandwich, the petit gateau or one of the cheese tables are excellent options, joined by a glass of wine. For the ones that prefer to appreciate the magnificent view without alchool, there are several types of teas that you can choose from.

Patients involved: 100
Patients in the intervention group will be equipped with wireless pulse oximeters. In addition, the nurses who are visiting patients within the residential home and nursing care programmes are equipped with wireless flow spirometers. Pulse oximetry is obtained through patient (or caregiver-assisted) self-monitoring, with a frequency according to the indications of the patient's respiratory medicine specialist or respiratory nurse. FEV1- and FEV1/VC values are obtained by nurses when they visit a patient with COPD with a frequency of one weekly measurement. On the occasion of the nurse visit, a simple questionnaire (CAT) is performed using a mobile PC provided to the nurses. All measured values are collected once a week through a portable care station. Measured values are collected and transmitted to a central health portal where the records of individual patients can be assessed by their GP or lung specialist. GPs and lung specialists also receive an automated fax report on abnormal or worsening values in order to trigger eventual changes in medication, oxygen therapy or a call for a specialist visit.

8 thoughts on "Arvind Kejriwal's reply to EC's Show cause notice"
Great Reply! This shows, AAP has great people, who can draft such a letter.
The reply is far convincing no doubt. I have following suggestion in this,
1. Letter Draft needs improvement [Though matter is important] and whenever needed bulleted points should be used and there after detail can be mentioned underneath
2. Avoiding specific names should be avoided and need to be generalized
3. Wherever needed related references with support of statistical numbers can also help
l feel satisfied fully with your answer to EC. I wish you all the best.
Dear Sir,
I really salute the indomitable spirit you display in your fight against corruption. I wish you all the success in your every adventure that is aimed at liberating Indian people from the curse of corruption!
sanjeev sharma
Please provide the English translation.
Why is it only in Hindi? Do you assume everyone in this country knows Hindi or you don't care about the rest of the country's AAP supporters?
