I am sorry, but I was forced to use that style - the RPG is too much fun and art to be spoiled with simple blames... michimike has his own war with Sandal and by his own laws as we see "If you are not with me, you are against me"! This reminds me the policy of another (very famous) Austrian from the close past, around 70 years ago. (Short guy, with moustaches and gel on his hair, you know who I mean)! Excuse me michimike, but is exactly like that... What I think about Sandal and am I friend or neutral to him does not really matters. And if I do not want to support you to fight him does not mean that I am your enemy too! As much as I know he does not need help fighting you and I do not want to fight him too, so I have the right to have my neutrality in your dual conflict. I am working for peace much more than you michimike, because I do not want to fight anyone and you want to fight many people for no reasons!

And maybe Michimike likes the fact that these guys always say they're going to bring peace to their nation. I think he've got this mentality too. But most of them like to fight alone.

Quote: Admiral Nikoy (house Order_of_Templar) integrates imperator Theron (former house Bavaria) into his empire (destroyed combat power: 253). I see no cause behind this action? For me it looks like that: A subordinate of Nikoy carries ships of him to the area of his new house, which maybe where somewhere else (let's not talk about this player, who flies for weeks only to carrie Nikoys ships without any own - remembers on some of Pauls subordinates) - a little non-pro-user crosses the range of his Goliaths by using his jumpdrive into black to get more south to I don't know where - and Nikoy attacks and destroys every Interceptor of Theron and integrates him WITHOUT ANY REASON. I would be very interesting, if Theron got a declaration of war days before, so he would have been able to react. If Nikoy goes on like this you can easily recognise what his leadership is leading to... Back to top NikoyGuest Posted: Thu Oct 12, 2006 05:45 Post subject: Answer Active as always on the political front, a michimike? Although under normal circumstances I do not have to explain one normal integration now I will do it because you are so keen on this! 1. The player, who carry my ships: After Paul was deleted and the house fell apart my ships were scattered all around the northern part of the galaxy. Because they are useless like that and I need them on my WP I promised rewards to some of my subs if they be so kind and bring them close to me. So, several of them are doing this mission in this very moment. Some of them have ships, others have not, this I do not care so much. 2. Theron: I wrote a letter to him long time ago, you can see it below with the permission of the writer (me), according to the Forum rules: "In game mails and postings in the house board are confidential. So unless you have the permission of the original writer it's not allowed to cite them here." ------------------------------- Theron#kosmor.com Date: 250/3502 Subject: Hi Hello! I am recruiting new active members for my new house, do you want to join? I will treat you good and defend you! Tax 0% & lossless integration guaranteed! Greetings, Nikoy. -------------------------------- He never answer that letter so I assumed he does not care shell he be integrated or not. You probably know what people say: "The silence is a sign of agreement" Nevertheless today BEFORE I saw your post I sent him another message, see it below: --------------------------------- Theron#kosmor.com Date: 257/3502 Subject: hi Hi Theron, Because you didn't bother to answer to my letter I assumed that you don't mind if I integrate you. If you DO mind and want to be independant, I will respect your will and let you go. Tomorrow I will start returning your planets and later I will suply you with ship parts, please tell what else I have to return to you. Greetings, Nikoy. --------------------------------- As you see michimike, I am treating my subs respectfully and honourably and I really want to build a "friendly" house, not "regime" as you stated!

BrewDog to Build Stateside in Ohio
Scottish craft beer company BrewDog has unveiled plans to establish a U.S. beachhead, last week announcing that Columbus, Ohio, will become the company's stateside brewing headquarters. On its blog, BrewDog wrote that it has "provisionally agreed" to acquire 42 acres of land in Columbus and said it intends to build a 100,000 sq. ft. brewery complete with a 100-barrel brewhouse, canning machine and bottling line to serve markets across the U.S. The company also anticipates employing 100 people at the new facility. BrewDog first confirmed its U.S. ambitions in April when it launched its fourth wave of equity crowdfunding. At the time, the company was hoping to raise roughly $3.2 million for a U.S. brewing operation. BrewDog also credited San Diego's Stone Brewing for suggesting Columbus, a city that had been a finalist in Stone's own search for a secondary location.
Illinois Lawmakers Pass Beer Production Bill
A bill aimed at helping craft brewers grow by raising the production cap imposed on companies that operate multiple retail fronts in Illinois is headed to the governor's desk, reports the Chicago Tribune. As passed by the House and Senate, HB 3237 allows for breweries that run as many as three retail operations to produce up 120,000 barrels per year. Under the status quo, brewers that manage additional retail components are limited to producing 30,000 barrels annually. Gov. Bruce Rauner has 60 days to sign, veto, or amend the bill, adds the Tribune.
Boston Beer Seeks Trademark on Olympic Brew
Boston Beer Co., manufacturers of the iconic Samuel Adams line, has applied for a trademark applicable to beer on the phrase "Boston 2024," the slogan popularized by the city's effort to host the Olympic games. The city's bid to land the 2024 summer games has been highly controversial on a local basis, as large swaths of residents oppose the campaign, but for Boston Beer, it could be a good marketing opportunity. "We were introduced recently to members of the Boston 2024 Committee and had a very preliminary conversation about collaborating on a special beer in the future," company spokeswoman Jessica Paar told Reuters. "There's nothing set in stone. It's just a fun idea we talked about." It wouldn't be the first time Boston Beer capitalized on a momentous sporting event in the city. For the past few years, the company has released a beer dubbed "26.2" in celebration of the Boston Marathon.
Brooklyn Strikes Licensing Deal with Australian Brewery
Coopers Brewery of Australia has been licensed to brew and distribute Brooklyn Brewery's Brooklyn Lager on the island continent. Per Australian Brew News, the partnership will better establish Brooklyn's presence in Australia and is actually a continuation of an old relationship. "We actually used to sell Coopers beers here in New York from 1991 until 2003 when we sold our distribution arm, so we knew their beers well," Brooklyn CEO Eric Ottaway told the website. "As we looked at how we could better supply the Australian beer market, conversations turned to the opportunity to work together."

No 2-celled life exists intermediate between one- and multi-celled (Talk.Origins)
From CreationWiki, the encyclopedia of creation science
Claim CB922:
There are no two-celled life forms intermediate between unicellular and multicellular life, demonstrating that the intermediate stage is not viable.
- Brown, Walt. 1995. [http://www.creationscience.com/ In the Beginning: Compelling evidence for creation and the flood.0 Phoenix, AZ: Center for Scientific Creation, p. 9.
CreationWiki response:
Since some types of single cell organisms do form colonies, it is agreed this is at best a weak argument. However, the bridge between single cell and multi cellular organisms is more than the number of cells but the fact that different cells take on different functions despite having the same genetic code and actually function as a single entity.

There can be little doubt about that banks are one of the most important actors in the financial system, perhaps even the most important. By means of the Basel Accord of 1988, a proposal in June 1999 for a new capital adequacy framework, and the release of Basel II on 26 June 2004, more and more banks around the world were set to follow the same global regulations… and this is clearly impacting the area of finance, in many ways, more and more each day.
That said, because of some strange and inexplicable reasons, the issue of bank regulations has been basically ignored by our universities, and most, or perhaps even all of the MBAs, graduate without the faintest idea about the existence of capital requirements for banks that distort immensely the flows of financial resources.
Why is that? Why do they consider so often in the study material other distortions like tax deductibility for the service of debt but not for equity, and not this regulatory distortion? Had they´ve done so, then perhaps the academicians would have long ago denounced the outright stupidities that, courtesy of the Basel Committee for Banking Supervision, have been introduced in the current bank regulations. Had the Universities taken an interest in this matter we most probably would not be suffering the current crisis, at least not in its current systemic form.
Here is a video that explains a small portion of the craziness of our current bank regulations, in an apolitical red and blue! http://bit.ly/mQIHoi

I first became acquainted with Fez, a digital-only game, while watching Indie Game, The Movie, a film about the creation and release of Super Meat boy, as well as Fez itself; so as to keep the indie ball rolling. The fascinating movie, showed the development of the game, which is in fact, a peculiar mix between 2d vis a vis 3d worlds.
Like most indie games which have become bestsellers, the game's creator, Phil Fish, came up with a novel way to show a cute 16-bit world; to allow it to become 3d, and enable the player to explore the Mario-like worlds, filled with all kinds of platforming, puzzles and nifty, throw-back music. In fact, Fish spoke of making the Fez experience a friendly one, a place for the player to enjoy. There are four perspectives, and you can jump in one, and land on the next.
The game's mechanics match, in fact, the quality of the design. Gomez is a cool little snow-white character with a red fez hat, who has to collect yellow cubes, in order to restore balance to the flora-decorated, fauna-inhabited world. The bright skies change from within the colors of the spectrum for a winning effect. A bright light with an electronic voice lets our tiny hero learn some basic directions.
In spite of some back-tracking, Fez surely wins you over with its charm. Even when you start playing, the game has a wink at electronics in store for us. The fact that its development has been documented for history to witness, makes the game even more special, since you know that it took blood, sweat and tears to make it happen.

Art Restaurant at the Four Seasons Seattle
On my trip to Seattle, I didn't realize just how much of the city seems to shut down relatively early. By relatively "early" I mean early for someone more accustomed to the nightlife in to so-called city that never sleeps (New York)- So I made a critical mistake- I was killing time, and waiting to decide where to eat. When 10pm rolled around, and I still had not eaten, I was left with few choices, so I went back to my hotel and ordered room service from the attached restaurant instead of searching for a late-night bite in an unfamiliar city only a few hours after arriving.
I had the good fortune of staying in a much more highly rated hotel than usual for this sort of trip due to the vagaries of company/client discount rates and contracts, and the Four Seasons Seattle had a very nice looking restaurant downstairs, that also handled all of the room service for the hotel. I normally stay away from room service- which usually is high in price and short on quality.
There's a first time for everything though, so I picked up the phone and ordered a salad and an entree from Art at the Four Seasons. I chose a chop salad and a spaghetti bolognese to satisfy my hunger- the last time I ate anything resembling a real meal was back on the east coast...
The salad turned out to be very enjoyable- and presented in an interesting fashion- with a wedge of iceberg in the middle, and the rest of the salad essentially deconstructed around it, with the dressing served on the side in a small flask. I'm a sucker for the combination of bleu cheese and bacon, and that served as the center-point of the dish. The other produce on the plate was very fresh- probably purchased earlier in the day at Pike Place Market, only about a block away. While the salad had many components, it still captured a kind of honest simplicity that I enjoy.
The spaghetti bolognese was likewise, artfully plated. Everything on the plate was obviously very fresh. Each component was excellent, from the slivers of parmesan, to the tomatoes, to the basil, and to the pasta itself. The sauce itself, however, was a little bit of a let-down. All the components were obviously high quality, but it didn't quite come together for me. The sauce seemed like it was missing something- and, after much thought, I think it was that certain something that comes from long, slow cooking. I did enjoy the dish, but I wanted to enjoy it even more.
I think this highlights the reason why I usually avoid ordering pasta/tomato dishes when I eat out- most of the time at least. I think I'm somewhat spoiled when it comes to pasta sauces- my family has a long standing tradition of making great tomato sauce (or rather, gravy to use the proper term), so I have a hard time finding similar sauces that can meet my expectations. Maybe it's me, maybe the sauce could've had more depth, and more of a long slow cook time to meet my tastes.

By Jim O'Leary
An e-mail newsletter for and about Waverly people, used with permission in the HLW Herald and on this web site.
Nov. 10, 2001
'The death of the family farm is the longest running melodrama in the nation's repertoire, and its first act begun after the Civil War, when the number of Americans living on farms first fell below the number who didn't.
"Today, fewer than two percent live on farms. In the last decade alone, the number of farmers in Minnesota and Iowa has declined by twenty five percent.
"When the last one goes, why should we care? There's not much chance we'll go hungry and the 'farmer' will endure as an advertising icon, a plaid-shirted geezer who needs a jolt of coffee or a bowl of high fiber cereal before mounting an antique tractor and thundering into the sunset.
"What we will have lost will be to lose the last reminders of who we once were as a nation and sometimes still pretend to be."
In "Letter from Minnesota" by John Hildebrand in the November, 2001 issue of Harpers Magazine.)
I was born on a farm. We lost the farm and had to move to Minnesota so my father could support us by working for the J. F. Anderson Lumber Company in Waverly.
While it may have been the best thing that ever happened to us, my father loved farming and told me one time that all he ever wanted to be was a farmer, like all his family in Ireland had been, and like all his family in South Dakota still were.
Once, when my dad's oldest sister, Aunt Minnie, was visiting us in Waverly, we were coming out of Mass one Sunday when she asked who the man was who had had his cap on in church. My brother Myles replied, "Probably some dumb farmer."
Aunt Minnie whirled around and let him have it. "Young man, I will have you know your grandfather, your great-grandfather, your uncles, and your father himself were all farmers and very proud of being farmers."
Aunt Minnie spoke with an Irish accent and with great passion.
Myles turned red with shame. I never again heard him use the expression, "Dumb farmer."
We had lost the farm to the Depression. My father had bought cows for over $200, and had to sell them for $10 or $15.
Furthermore, my brother John told me that anthrax yes anthrax had carried off some of our cattle.
John said there were burning pits all over Dakota, and you could see and smell the smoke for miles, the same way the British had to burn their herds last year because of hoof and mouth disease.
My brother Henry, who is 87 now, says he can still remember the smell. He said that when he found a dead animal, putrid and bloated, he would haul straw and hay, cover the animal and set it afire.
He never heard of any humans contracting anthrax, but Msgr. Doyle of Sioux Falls, S.D., told me that a mutual friend, Dr. James Delaney of Sioux Falls, remembers treating many farmers at the time for skin anthrax.
The farmers were mostly from around Artesian, S.D., my father's home town, but we farmed in Lyman County.
Besides anthrax, farmers were suffering from failed economic policy. All my uncles on their small farms in South Dakota believed that Roosevelt had saved them, and Hoover and the republicans had let them down.
They had taken to calling cow chips "Hoover" because they had to burn the dried cow dung for fuel.
My uncles all taught me that Roosevelt did not let the big dogs eat first like the republicans always seemed to do.
Here is what Roosevelt said about it in 1933, as quoted in the Waverly Star:
"Some economists are still trying to find out what it was that hit us back in 1929. I am not a professional economist, but I think I know.
"What hit us was a decade of debauch, of group selfishness . . . the sole objective expressed in the thought 'every man for himself and the devil take the hindmost.'
"And the result was that about 98 percent of the American population turned out to be 'the hindmost.'"
Sounds like today, doesn't it?
Call me a chauvinist, but I don't believe Waverlyites were guilty of that. Waverly, and Minnesota farmers in general, lived their lives with a rich feeling of community. It was never their philosophy that it was "every man for himself and devil take the hindmost."
The democracy of rural life
"In Minnesota, rural schoolhouses that haven't been torn down or converted to grain bins enjoy a second life as township halls.
"The township is the six-mile square division that served as Thomas Jefferson's blueprint for an agrarian republic, a vision that never quite got off the drawing board, but its vestigial outlines are still visible and run in cardinal directions, spaced exactly a mile apart.
"Although township government survives in the midwest and New England, its political powers were largely absorbed by the county after reapportionment in the 1960s, which based representation on population size.
"Even so, the township remains the most intimate form of government."
From John Hildebrand again, as quoted in "Letter From Minnesota.
An airplane ride over Woodland Township in Wright County is the best way to see those lines of Jefferson's blueprint for an agrarian democracy.
The "school section" is there below you, an entire 640-acre perfect rectangle of prime farm land intended to be set aside to meet the expenses of the free public school, representing a system like no other in the world. A world in which no other nation can boast of a free and universal opportunity for a good education.
One can also see the kind of white clapboard building mentioned by Hildebrand, converted from a schoolhouse to a town meeting hall right there down below in Woodland Township.
Down below, you see also the rich loam of Minnesota, "Landscape, plotted and pieced . . . fold, fallow and plow." (Gerard Manley Hopkins, "Pied Beauty.")
But take a really good look, because although "this land is your land; this land is my land, from California to the New York Islands," as Woody Guthrie says it is, it is going and going fast, if not into urban sprawl, then into the hands of corporations.
I don't think it's by accident that our founding farmers were mostly farmers George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and John Adams, to name but a few.
In a fascinating book I am reading, "John Adams" by David McCullough, here is a description of John Adams' feelings about farmers and community:
"The freeholder farmers of our countryside believe in hard work, virtue, liberty, and sharing with our neighbours, all that is righteous and good about our country."
Like Harry Truman, John Adams, our second president, was a farmer who worked very hard at it.
When he left the presidency, he went back to the farm and worked his land again, just in order to make a living.
Jefferson, although a farmer, had the help of slaves as his farmhands.
He was a Virginia gentleman farmer, and Adams was a Massachusetts freeholder.
Adams, the hardworking farmer's son, despised slavery.
He also resisted the warmongers he faced in Congress who called him a coward because he refused to declare war on France and Spain in 1798.
"Great is the guilt of an unnecessary war," he wrote. If only he were here now!
I am not advocating going to the trouble of replacing the likeness of Thomas Jefferson on Mount Rushmore with the likeness of John Adams, but I do believe John Adams was more like George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Theodore Roosevelt than was Thomas Jefferson.
Well, George Washington was also a slave owner for that matter. His slave quarters, which I saw one time behind Mount Vernon, were little better than dog houses.
Back to the subject of farming, John Adams did the work himself, just like Harry Truman almost 200 years later. It was the work of "digging up stumps, carting manure, plowing, planting corn, and potatoes," says David McCullough.
I don't think it was a coincidence that McCullough wrote about Truman and Adams. They were very much alike.
John Adams and Harry Truman were among the few American presidents who were universally trusted. Along with Abraham Lincoln, the rail splitter, also born on a farm, they worked at hard manual labor "by the sweat of their brow."
Because they were farmers, they won the universal respect of the American people, even without their great achievements as our nation's leaders.
On the other side of it, the reason John Adams believed that Americans deserved the very best from their leaders was because they had earned it from "the severe labors of clearing their grounds, raising their provisions, enduring severe cold and always amidst dangers from wild beasts and savage men . . . "
In other words . . . farming.
Near the end of his life, in his 85th year, John Adams wrote, "My crops are more abundant than I expected. I have the most beautiful corn field that I ever saw. It is drawn up like an army in array, in a long line before my house."
Early in his life, John Adams had written that the three things he loved most were "my family, my farm, and my goose quill."
McCullough tells us, "He never tired of the farm. He loved every wall and field, loved its order and productiveness, the very look of it."
McCullough's description of John Adams' farm is a description of our real heritage more than anything else. More than Wall Street, Hollywood, NASA, or anything else I can think of. Unless it's a baseball park.
John Adams and his one time friend, Thomas Jefferson, died on the same day, The fourth of July, 1826, the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
They had corresponded until the very end, despite their political and religious differences
Musical notes
A high school choir was singing, with high emotions and strained voices, "Carry Me Back to Old Virginia," by Stephen A. Foster.
A lady in the audience began to weep. The person next to her said tenderly, "Are you a Virginian?"
"No," said the lady. "I'm a musician."
Dan Vaughan sent me this one:
"My Dad bought my Mom a piano for her birthday. A few weeks later, I asked how she was doing with it. 'Oh,' said my Dad. 'I persuaded her to switch to a clarinet.' 'How come,' I asked. 'Well,' he answered, 'because with a clarinet, she can't sing.'"
A cousin of mine told about his mother who used to play the piano and sing "Whispering Hope." That set the dogs for miles around all to howling.
I won't say which cousin or which aunt this was. There are still hard feelings about the music critics among the O'Learys. This is always a touchy subject.
Do you not all remember how our hero, Harry Truman, called the music critic of the sacred New York Times an SOB for remarking that his daughter, Margaret Truman, in her stage debut as a contralto, sounded "a little breathy?" Harry called him an SOB in public, and to this day has never apologized.
Quotes for the week
Sometimes when we sing,
we hear Your voice
Sometimes, when we scan the room, and ourselves, for You, we see You seeing us.
Sometimes, when we hold each other, we feel You enfolding us.
Sometimes, when we sing, we hear Your voice.
Sometimes, only sometimes, when we speak, we hear Your Word.
Sometimes, when we cry, we taste Your tears.
Please, God . . . always, not just sometimes, walk with us.
A prayer by Martha Barr as published in "The Baptist Peacemaker."
Thank you, one and all, for bearing with me. These are trying times ,but so was 1933.

"How it Should Be (Sha Sha)" is the first track and I'm sorry for the repeated references, but if you didn't know which Ben this was you'd swear it was Folds. "Wasted & Ready" has a garage band pop/punk feel and "Family Tree" is a rootsy shuffle with Beatlesque harmonies. "Commerce, TX" is a more innocent "Smells Like Teen Spirit." "In Other Words" is a beautful piano ballad that has modern Stones-like chord changes. "Make it Up" is another one that is melancholy and yet rocks...just like Ben you-know-who. "Lizzy" is a bluesy acoustic number.
This record is balanced perfectly with guitar and piano tunes, and it's apparent Kweller can write equally great songs on both. This kid is an amazing talent. If he keeps his nose clean and doesn't join some freaky cult he'll make a lot of noise over the next 40 or so years. Just remember I told you to jump on the bandwagon now.

The app was filled with bugs and the lesson quality leaves a lot to be desired.
The content is covered very poorly, in a weird order, and sometimes presented in a confusing way.
It's just really bad value for the money. I wouldn't recommend using it even if it were free.
Nothing really.
A lot of the lessons focus on repeating after the hosts. But, one of the hosts is a foreigner with poor pronunciation, so modeling his speech would be a major mistake.
Strange order for lessons. Often teaching more advanced words or characters in beginner lessons.
The app crashed frequently and had other bugs.
Price: Rocket Chinese costs $99.95 for level 1, $249.90 for levels 2 and 3, $259.90 for levels 1, 2, and 3.
There are too many better alternatives to post them all here. This post details the best online Chinese courses I've found.
If you google Rocket Chinese or Rocket Languages review, you'll be shown lots of people who seem to love it. Like me, they make money off of affiliate sales and Rocket Languages has some of the best commission rates around.
If you click on one the links to Rocket Chinese on this site, then made a purchase within 60 days, I'd make somewhere between 40% and 70% of that sale. This is well above the standard rates and with the high price tag of Rocket Chinese, there's a lot of money to be made in leading people astray.
Level one costs $99.95 and the level one, two, and three combo costs $259.90. So, if you click this link, and then go on to buy the $259 package, I'll earn between $100 and $175.
That's absurd.
It's also the reason why there are so many people who seem to love an expensive and poorly made product.
Continue reading on for the review itself or skip to this article where I'll help you figure out how to start learning Chinese.
So, let's get into the review
First off, this is only my opinion and it's only based off of one afternoon using the free trial. I think that was more than enough time to get a general idea and be able to strongly advise against purchasing Rocket Chinese.
Level one of Rocket Chinese has eight modules with the first seven containing 12 lessons each. The last module only has four. The free trial gave me access to nine of the lessons in Module 1. So, these lessons are the very basics and absolute beginner level.
Audio Lessons
The lesson audio averages around 25 minutes. This is basically a dialog that the two hosts discuss together. They leave lots of long pauses so that you can repeat after them. The pace is painfully slow but that's not a big problem given the absolute beginner level. You can also play different parts of the lesson separately.
Given how much of the lesson they leave as pauses for you to repeat, it seems like their focus would be on pronunciation.
But, at least in the lessons I looked at, they don't give you much help at all in learning to pronounce the sounds unique to Chinese. For adults learning Chinese, you won't be able to simply repeat the words without feedback and get correct pronunciation. You'll need a more focused and conscious effort to learn the subtle differences in the pronunciation of Chinese words.
This article highlights the best resources I've found for learning Mandarin pronunciation.
Speaking of pronunciation, let's talk about the hosts quickly.
The lessons are hosted by a Chinese girl and a foreign guy. The foreign guy has a strong accent that doesn't sound native or even particularly good. I wouldn't be surprised if my pronunciation is better and that's a major problem. They should have found a host with a more natural sounding accent or a native speaker – especially since the lessons are centered around repeating after him.
After each lesson, there are a variety of exercises for you to complete. The first is called "Hear It Say It!". You're supposed to record your voice and compare it to the audio. While I'm happy that all the audio is recorded from the native speaking Chinese host, it's disappointing that I can't have a man's voice to copy. This function could still be useful but every time I push the record button, the app crashes.
The next test is called "Write It!". Here you listen to the audio and type in the pinyin that you hear. So for example, if you hear zàijiàn, then that's what you're supposed to type in. However, there's no way to add the tone intonation marks. So, if you type it as zai jian, zaijian, zai4jian4 or 再见 all would be marked incorrect. It's not a huge problem because you can manually change your score, but it's just another thing that isn't made particularly well.
Up next is the "Know It!" test. Here, you read a word or phrase in English and record yourself saying it in Chinese. Once again the app crashes every time I try to record my voice. I emailed support about this problem and they suggested I uninstall and reinstall the app. That didn't work and I didn't try to figure out another solution.
Moving forward is the quiz. This is a five question multiple choice quiz and doesn't seem that good either. The questions don't seem particularly well thought out. Take a look at an example they chose for this beginner quiz. If you didn't know better, you'd probably be lead to think that 我很好 means "I am very good" and that 我是好 is how you'd say "I am good."
The next part is "Play It!". In this part, you play the audio from one person in the dialog and are supposed to record yourself saying the other person's lines. Again, the app crashes if I try to record my voice. Also, half the dialog is from a foreigner with a strong accent. I don't see the point in trying to mimic a non-native sounding accent.
Next, we're at the "Write It (Extra)" section. Here you hear the audio and type in the simplified characters. This seems to work well. However, this is an absolute beginner level lesson and they never explain how to type Chinese characters or where to get a program to input Chinese characters into your phone or computer.
Finally, there's a second "Play It (Extra) section. This is exactly the same as the first "Play It!" section. Not sure why this is here.
More reasons why Rocket Chinese is awful
Moving away from the tests now, we'll find more things about Rocket Chinese that I think are terrible.
There are some lessons about writing Simplified Chinese characters. It feels more like they added this part, simply so that they could say they have a writing component. There are a couple of videos around 10 seconds long that simply show someone writing the character. There are only a few characters included and they seem to be chosen almost at random.
You can find free resources that will teach you the stroke order (Arch Chinese is one).
If you're serious about learning to write Chinese characters, Skritter is the best option available. You can get a free week trial of Skritter and get 45% off a one-month subscription with coupon code "alllanguageresources".
In lesson 1.12, so very much still the absolute beginner level, they include six characters to learn how to write. The first four are common characters but the last two should not have been included. They're the characters 凹 (ao1) and 凸 (tu1). I've spent nearly a year now studying Chinese in Beijing and have never consciously come across either of these characters. I looked them up on Hanzicraft and found the frequency for both to be around 2856 of 9933 characters. There are plenty of characters worth spending the time to learn to write, but for beginner students to learn to write these characters is a complete waste of time.
The next problem is also related to selecting poor examples for beginner students in the beginner lessons.
In lesson 1.7, they have a part about sentence order.
Okay, cool, that's probably worth learning. There are plenty of vocab and sentence structures that would be helpful for a beginner level student to learn. However, they chose to use 不如 (bùrú) as an example.
This is an HSK 5 word that would be more fitting in an intermediate level lesson, not in the absolute beginner section. There are plenty of other HSK 1 or 2 words they could have used instead to show differences in sentence structure. To make things worse, they mistakenly wrote it as bùrǔ instead of bùrú a couple of times.
They have flashcards as well. I didn't spend too much time looking at these. The one major problem I see again is that for some of the flashcards, the audio is recorded by the foreign host.
I have nothing good to say about Rocket Chinese
There are so few positives worth writing about that I'm not even going to bother.
Everything good about Rocket Chinese can be found elsewhere – generally cheaper and better.
Be wary of any good reviews you read for any Rocket Languages product. They offer far above industry standard affiliate commission rates which leads to a lot of dishonest reviews.
The lessons on Rocket Chinese look like they were thrown together quickly without any real thought about making a useful product for people trying to learn Chinese.
There are so many amazing resources and courses out there to help you learn Chinese, it's a shame to see so many people wasting their time and money on this product. Rocket Chinese is garbage. Don't waste your time with it.
Luckily, there are tons of great resources to help you learn Chinese. Read my resource guide on how to start learning Chinese.

Taking photographs or video of unusual symptoms on an ordinary camera phone can help doctors diagnose uncommon problems, say researchers in an article published on bmj.com today.
For example, doctors in Norway describe the case of a 25 year old pregnant woman who reported frequent episodes of severe nipple pain.
The pain came whenever her fingers, toes or nipples got cold, such as when walking barefoot on a cold floor or taking a shower, and typically lasted between five and 15 minutes and was so painful as to bring her to tears.
Along with the pain, the colour of the nipples also changed; first white combined with a tingling pain ("tightening a vice screw"), then blue with a burning pain ("pouring acid"), and finally a red phase combined with numbness as the pain decreased. After the birth of her baby, the pain became so intense that she considered giving up breastfeeding.
She presented three photographs from her camera phone showing the colour changes of a typical episode.
With the help of these photographs, doctors diagnosed Raynaud's phenomenon of the nipple. The patient was given treatment, her symptoms completely resolved within one week, and she was able to continue breastfeeding with no side effects.
Raynaud's phenomenon is possibly an underdiagnosed case of nipple pain, conclude the authors, partly because primary health care workers are often not aware of this condition, and partly because the symptoms have vanished before the patient reaches the GP surgery.

The most recent Hiltl vegetarian restaurant advertising campaign features three of the Jungle's most feared predators donning bucktoothed grins.
The concept behind this campaign is found in the animals's lack of fangs, signifying less meat consumption. The accompanying tag line reads "Sure to make everyone enjoy vegetarian food. Hiltl Vegetarian Restaurant.†The campaign manages to be goofy, adorable and persuasive all at once with a creative concept and clean execution.
Implications - North American consumers are becoming much more health conscious due to media saturation of medical reports. As such, corporations that provide products with potential health benefits are likely to generate more revenue than goods with no foreseeable health benefits.

More than 20 million adults in Britain are physically inactive a salutary reminder that exercise is crucial for good long term health. As part of the Paths for All 'Smarter Choices Smarter Places' programme, Sport & Health at Comhairle nan Eilean Siar secured funding for ten cycle lockers at the Lewis Sport Centre in Stornoway and three at Lionacleit Sports Centre.
Linked to the 'Cycle To Work' scheme that offers tax incentives to purchase a bike, this means that it will be possible to cycle to both Sports Centres and leave your bike and clothing in a secure location and then even have a shower perhaps before work.
Alison MacCorquodale from the Comhairle's Development Department, says: "Cycling is one of the easiest ways to fit exercise into your daily routine and as well as the health benefits, it can save you money and helps the environment. Knowing there is somewhere secure (and dry!) to store your equipment will hopefully encourage people to start cycling to work and build up their confidence to make longer trips by bike."

While starting a business is a popular venture, there are a lot of legal hoops that must be jumped through. For those looking to start their own business in Arizona, here are some guidelines that will get you through the process!
Information on starting a business in Arizona
Define it
The first step is to define your business. Naturally, you want to know what kind of business you'll be starting, and then the legal work starts. This begins with choosing a name; you'll want something catchy and memorable. Following this, you'll need to do a search with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
If the search shows a similar business with a similar name, your best bet is to find a different name. If the search comes back clear, however, you're good to start advancing with the steps to beginning your business.
Apply it
Your next step will be to fill out a form for an Employer Identification Number with the Arizona Corporation Commission. This can be filled out online, and is a vital step to being approved to hire people for your business.
Following this, you'll want to open up a bank account for your business. Never use your personal account in lieu of a business account; it will muddy the tax process and can even land you in legal trouble.
Manage it
This is important for any business owners that plan to enter into this venture with a partner; you will need to create an operating agreement. Operating agreements detail how a business will be run, how the co-owners will resolve problems and the exact division of company ownership. You will need to fill out an operating agreement even if you are opening the business with a family member or spouse.
Intellectual Property – Lawyer it
The best businesses have new ideas that approach old problems in new ways. If you have these ideas, protect them! You can do this by planning how your ideas will come into play and how they will be protected. This includes getting copyrights for your ideas. To this end, it is smart to buy at least an hour with a lawyer to help guide you through these processes.
After all of the planning has been done, you'll want to trademark your business with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. This will protect the ideas behind your business as well as your name from being stolen out from under you!
Final Details – Finish it!
From here, you start working on the things that your business will actually be using. Start drafting forms that you will be using with frequent vendors and customers. If you're unsure of where to start, don't worry. Many people simply find contract templates on the Internet.
Once you are finished drafting, have a lawyer look over them to make sure that everything is in order. Lawyers can be expensive, but they will save you a lot of headache down the line.
By following these steps, you will have your own business in Arizona before you know it!

Agape Research
by Rolf Witzsche
A long time ago an incident happened that may be small in the context of Christian Science healing, but which illustrates a profound principle that Mary Baker Eddy was evidently keenly aware of, even as a child. But first let me tell you my story of it.
My story begins in Boston during one of the annual meetings of the members of the Mother Church. I had come without hotel reservation. After all, Boston is a large place with great many hotels and motels. I didn't realize of course, that for the same time one or two other large conventions had been scheduled, resulting in all the hotels being sold out. I found a room for the night I arrived, but nothing was to be had anywhere after that. I spent ours that night on the telephone, searching for a room, but to no avail. The result in the morning was no different. Even the expensive places were sold out.
During the course of the searching a statement of principle came to mind. I realized that it was a right idea for me to be there, and up to this point everything that was required came together almost on its own. Now, at the most crucial point this suddenly stopped. I couldn't accept that. The statement of principle that came to mind was, that a divine idea is always complete in itself. including within itself all the 'substance' that is required for its full fruition. I recognized the principle of divine completeness, by which infinite Mind is incapable of incomplete ideas. I clung to this recognition.
With this truth in mind, I lined up for Annual Meeting registration, standing in line for well over an hour. Once inside, almost in front of the registration table, the thought came strongly to call one hotel once more. I almost dismissed the thought since I had called that place several times already. This the answer was "yes, we have just received a cancellation. The room is yours." It was a fine place and came at a fraction of the price I had been willing to pay at this point.
While lining up the thought came that I didn't need a glut of empty rooms in the city for my needs to be satisfied, one would be enough, nor did I need the room days in advance, it would be enough to have it when required. And so it was. It became available an hour before I had to check out from where I had been for that first night.
The recognition of principle that a divine idea is always complete and contains within itself all the substance required for its full fruition, lead to other beautiful experiences of a similar nature. But doesn't that principle also apply to the divine idea, man? Mary Baker Eddy's life appears to be a striking testament to this fact.
Historians tell us that from her childhood on, she always wanted to write a book. As the idea unfolded, at times against incredible odds, she did not only write a book, but discovered a brand new science that this book would make accessible to humanity by which countless people all over the world were healed of every imaginable ill. Today, over 300 editions later and over nine million copies in circulation, the idea did come to full fruition.
Her life came to fruition. Yes, there were hard times along the road. For years after her discovery of Christian Science she had virtually no income, received no fees for her healing work and other labor. She even lacked the means at time to hire a hall in which to speak, or to meet her own ongoing expenses. She writes in the April Journal of 1898, looking back to those days, "I had cast my all into the treasury of Truth, but where were the means with which to carry on a Cause? To dessert the Cause never occurred to me, but nobody then wanted Christian Science, nor gave it half a penny."
The time period of this occurrence was app. 1877. She had only one or two loyal students at the time and Christian Science had few followers. There was even a revolt in the church. Many had deserted her and scorned her teachings. Even those who had been raised by her from the door of death would shun her on the street, but a vision came to her at this period, which she voiced aloud, an idea, the realization of an idea. It was Isaiah's vision from the 54th chapter.
The 1898 letter concludes with a verse from that time that she remembered fondly, which is now a verse of a hymn:
She closed the letter: "Oh the goodness and loving kindness of our God, who can tell it? Oh, the Love that never faileth!"
From these tidbits of relevant history it appears that Mary Baker Eddy was always moved by the deep seated recognition that the fulfillment of her life would unfold from the substance of its own principle. After all, is not Life a divine idea whose fulfillment lies in the courts of the divine.
It appears to me that this is how Mary Baker Eddy saw herself, and the fulfillment of this idea was beyond measure in her love for humanity. A member of her household reported at one point that Mary Baker Eddy routinely withdrew herself each evening for an hour to work for the world. (see The Healer by David Keyston, xiii - Healing Unlimited)
When we read in the Christian Science textbook that God is Life, we do it often so casually, while in reality the concept it absolutely revolutionary. It is one of the pioneering aspects that Mary Baker Eddy has placed on the table of humanity and has illustrated in her own life. She became the exemplar of the truth that Life is divine, an idea, an aspect of God that is complete in every respect, containing within itself all the substance for its full fruition. Mary Baker Eddy was able draw out this idea to its fullest extent in her love for God and humanity.
Her last statement to humanity reaffirmed the principle that she understood about human existence, apparently always. The statement is brief, just four words: "God is my life."
In a rather unique fashion she documented the principle of the unfolding of her life at the very early stages of her scientific discovery work. She documented the principle in the definition she gave for names of the our rivers from Genesis 2, with which she defined the four development streams of the 'city foursquare' matrix (ref. All-In-One Christian Science Provision for our modern age). The definitions for the four development streams present the stages of the unfolding of her life in terms of universal principles long before unfolding was complete. The following are the definitions for the four Rivers from the textbook Glossary.
Gihon (river). The rights of woman
acknowledged morally, civilly, and socially.
It is unknown, of course, if Mary Baker Eddy was indeed aware that her definitions for the four rivers, defined the unfolding of her life. She may have been aware of it at some point, and have celebrated the recognition of her early discovery of those principles. Whatever the answer to that question may be, we have cause to celebrate, because in the definition of these rivers we find the fundamental principles defined by which our life unfolds to the full. This may not happen sequentially, but it happens within the flow of these rivers, and the Christian Science Bible lessons are designed to tap us into their flow. (ref. All-In-One Christian Science Provision for our modern age).

Creating and designing new products is one of my favorite things to do at Botanical PaperWorks and I'm lucky to work with a group of very talented designers. One of our designers, Kristin, uses the Designer's Notebook from Chronicle Books. She uses the book to jot down ideas and sketches, share information with the team and track ideas as they come up. Here's an actual page for the newly launched plantable Perpetual Calendar:
And here's what the Perpetual Calendar looks like now:
It's so cool to see the calendar go from concept to reality!

Robert Griffin III added another "is he really a rookie?" performance to his already impressive resume in leading the Redskins to a 31-6 win over the Eagles.
Griffin completed 14 of 15 passes for 200 yards and four, count 'em four, touchdowns. You could say he wasn't perfect due to the one incompletion, which came late in the second quarter on a short throw over the middle intended for Josh Morgan.
But the NFL said that he was perfect on the day, at least according to its quarterback rating system. If you plug the numbers into the calculator it spits out a rating of 158.3. You can't get any higher than that.
Griffin is the first rookie since at least 1960 to get a perfect QB rating in a game with at least 15 pass attempts.
He also set a record for the best completion percentage by a rookie in a game with at least 15 pass attempts. In fact, he shattered it by completing 93.3 percent of his throws. Charlie Batch of the Lions held the previous record with a 16 for 19 (84.2 percent) performance in a game in 1998.
Griffin got things going early. His first pass of the game went to Darrel Young for six yards and a touchdown. That score was set up by DeAngelo Hall's interception and return to the Philly nine on the Eagles' third play from scrimmage.
Griffin's next two TD passes were highlight reel material. In the second quarter he dropped back and had plenty of time to find Aldrick Robinson, who was open by at least 10 yards, in the end zone from 49 yards out. That got the Redskins out to a 14-3 lead and they never looked back.
That doesn't mean that the rest of the game was not worth watching. In the third quarter Griffin scrambled and launched one deep to Santana Moss at around the five yard line.
"It was an 'Oh, no . . . oh, yes!'" moment, said Mike Shanahan. The "oh, no" part came from the fact that Moss was bracketed between to defenders. But all was well as Moss snagged the ball and then ran through an attempted tackle by rookie Brandon Boykin and fell into the end zone.
There was a flag on the play that was in the area where we usually see offensive holding called so the stadium was largely quiet after the play. Eagles defensive lineman Cullen Jenkins was so sure it was a holding flag that the mocked RG3's touchdown celebration.
But it turned out that the penalty was against the Eagles so Griffin got to do his celebration all over again and the Redskins had a 24-6 lead.
His final touchdown came in the fourth quarter when he found Logan Paulsen near the five. Safety Kurt Coleman made a couple of feeble attempts to bring the big tight end down but he powered his way to the end zone to make it 31-6.
Griffin's day throwing the ball overshadowed some pretty nifty runs he had. On one third quarter play he took off around left end, raced up the sideline for a first down and then executed a spin move that resulted in a would-be tackler grasping at air as he stumbled out of bounds.
Griffin ended up with 84 yards rushing on 12 carries.
Oh, about that one incompletion. A couple of hours after the game ended, he replied to a tweet from ESPN's Trey Wingo poking fun at him:
"So @RGIII goes 14/15 for 200 yds and 4 TDs. What the hell happened on that one incompletion? unacceptable"
Griffin's response:
"Looking at film now"
He may have been kidding, but not many would bet against it.

From The Metro:
Good riddance to the greedy bankers who are threatening to leave the UK for Europe over Brexit (Metro, Mon).
Let some other mugs bail them out in future. But before they go, let's make sure every penny they owe is paid back to the British taxpayer.

S, good link, but read the article. Overall we will break even. Either way, let's get our money back.

It's rubbish we'll break even. The opportunity cost for one. For another the banks have only returned to vague profitability by the govt allowing the banks to farm the young via land prices. Emergency low rates and other props like help2buy are holding public/private debt higher than they would otherwise be, which goes to the banks which they then pay some back to us.
This merry-go-round nonsense shouldn't be fooling anyone.

Sobers I like the article. Complete and utter banking collapse in 2008 and an economy, still bumping along in recession for years to come. You certainly are a glass half full kind of a guy.Do you see some value, portfollio buys in the data that you are not sharing?
The report summary table by Rosthchild, that you refer to, that we are making a small pofit on the banks with an Estimate of future RBS share sale value looming large; produced by, ermm, Rothschild (by any chance)? Good luck mate!
I assume the bad news is buried after that bit. The yearly divy bill on all those bonds used by Badger and co to bail the spivs out.

Harriet Baldwin:
"As of last week, the Rothschild report estimates that situation has completely turned around, that the overall recovery from the bank interventions is in the order of £14bn of magnitude and the overall cost of funding on our Treasury issuance is at record lows thanks to the prudent economic management of my right honourable friends."
Some would call that prudent economic management 'financial repression'. So what is not shown in these bank bailout costs is the loss of interest, cost of inflation, increase in taxation and other financial pain visited on the Great British Public. Or am I missing something?

Did anyone ever download the Fed spreadsheet that showed all the US bailouts?
I wish I'd been more careful to keep it, but I'm sure it'll be somewhere online. It clearly shows that the UK bailout of RBS was chickenfeed to what the Fed pumped in. Bernanke bailed out Barclays too.

Spot on Lola.

L, they are going to be a bit more difficult to pin down.
BF, calculating the net loss or gain to the taxpayer is tricky, as is calculating the net gain to the banking system, which is quite possibly much larger than the cost to the taxpayer, in which case, should't the taxpayer be getting a share of that profit as well as money and interest returned?
L, second comment, agreed.
SL, others say that in relative terms, the UK and US bailouts were about the same, I dunno what the truth is, "too much" is always "too much" even if somebody else is worse.

"Overall we will break even. Either way, let's get our money back."
No, read the article to the end. Overall, we lose, to the tune of £3Bn:
This looks like there has been an additional cost to the taxpayer of about £17bn, which for some reason has not been covered in government-commissioned Rothschild report.
Of course, if we include that loss of £17bn in the final balance sheet, it more than cancels out the £14bn surplus ministers are keen to talk about, and means the taxpayer has suffered a net loss overall.

Personally i think that a price of a few billion pounds to ensure the entire financial transaction system didn't go down the Swannee nearly a decade ago is well worth paying. What does the State gets for say, 5bn these days? SFA if truth be told, they waste ten times and more than that every year. There would have been considerably more damage to the economy than 5bn if any of the major banks had gone at that point. Cheap at ten times the price to be honest.

"Personally i think that a price of a few billion pounds to ensure the entire financial transaction system didn't go down the Swannee nearly a decade ago is well worth paying."
Ah, but was the whole financial system about to go down the Swannee, or did the banks just make it look that way, so that they could be bailed out and the shareholders and bondholders didn't suffer too much of a loss? As I recall, from that time, there were many people saying how the banks could have been rescued without the bailout, I think there was even ideas on this blog about it, along the lines of debt-for equity swaps. So no, I don't thin that a few billion quid was a fair price to pay to ensure that a lot of rich people didn't get ever so slightly poorer.

- Mike W said...
I agree entirely with your recollection of the period. And the 'Debt for Equity' discussion started by Mark here. I even bought Alistair Darling's Back From the Brink (2012), (For 1 pence I might add) to see why the insider of insiders of the crash rejected the idea.And challenge folks here with it. Waste of 1 pence plus postage! He seems not to have any understanding of anything outside his bubble. His book reads like a man oulining what the civil service had told him to think, repeating all the TINA platitudes, and having the distinct recollection that the government's position was his idea and deep understanding all along!
His Wiki entry, used to have the banks he worked for after the crash. ( sorry resumed work for). The links seem to have gone now! But it was several more than, cough, just Morgan Stanley.

S, you do realise that the "financial transactions system" is a real thing run largely by computers and people on normal salaries? If Thames Water went bankrupt because of land speculation, do you think that the government would't ensure that the blokes at the sewage works and pumping stations were paid and water was pumped around?
B, MW, ta for back up. As it happens, the government got it right with Northern Rock, they just shut it down, reimbursed depositors and collected the outstanding loans themselves. Overall the government made a modest profit on it and the money market funds made a modest loss*. The parts of the "financial transactions system" that NR owned were transferred to Virgin Money or somebody and everything went fine.
* A kind of debt for equity swap. Shareholders were wiped out, well tough.

FWIW I think Gordon Brown did the right thing at the time - there were no good options, just the least worst one, and restoring confidence in the entire system at one fell stroke at the cost (as it turns out) of single figure billions, if indeed it does end up being a cost, was about the best we could have hoped for in the circumstances. Anything else that left banks to swing in the wind, everyone wondering which would fall next, whether they'd get to the bank and the doors would be locked, cash machines not working, cards not working, everyone panicking trying to get their money out of whichever bank looked shaky next. With hindsight it all looks easy - 'We could have done this or that, and it would have been better' - I remember exactly how shonky things were then, and at the time if you'd offered everyone what we've had they'd have grabbed it with both hands.
- 25 October 2016 at 23:58
- Mark Wadsworth said...
S, you have somehow completely changed the actual topic.
To simplify matters, I shall make the same lazy and incorrect assumption that the bank bail outs were the *only* way to save the banking system and hence economy.
If the bank now bugger off abroad "nearly a decade later" is it not fair to ask them to repay it all sharpies? Or do you think the UK government/taxpayer should be bailing out foreign banks?
You are also making a basic mistake. The article you linked to refers to a small net cost or benefit to the taxpayer from the exercise. Again, to save arguing I will assume this is correct.
But those few billion either way is not the relevant figure. The relevant figure is the gross amount lent to/given to UK banks, which was tens or hundreds of billions. That is the sum of money that banks should pay back.
- 26 October 2016 at 08:20

"restoring confidence in the entire system at one fell stroke"
AFAIR, there was only one bank that had a run on it and that was Northern Rock. RBS was very shaky, but if it had gone to the wall, it wouldn't have caused a run on any other banks, why should it, Northern Rock didn't. Also, AFAIR, Lloyds was directly brought down by Gordon Brown's meddling, Barclays and HSBC were OK, Natwest would have been OK if it hadn't been part of RBS. Again, the doom and gloom were propagated by those who stood most to gain from them. We've seen exactly the same tactic wheeled out for the Scottish Independence and EU referendums. At least with the EU referendum there is some chance of showing all the doom and gloom for the hype that it is, assuming the Tories don't succeed in sabotaging the whole process - if you make someone make the tea against their will, don't be surprised if the tea is undrinkable.

August 2016 sees the arrival of a new powerful non-ablative fractionated (Ellipse Frax 1550nm Erbium Glass) laser at Holdsworth House Dermatology. This represents a refinement of Fraxel-style fractional laser technology. This powerful new technology produces microscopic columns or treatment zones of dermal repair and rejuventation.
This can be used to treat:
1550nm fractionated laser technology is non-ablative. This means treatment is:
Combination laser treatments can have greater benefits such as combining Frax 1550 and selective wavelength technology IPL without anymore down time.
With this technology redness and swelling lasting days is the main post treatment consideration. Skin benefits continue to appear over the following weeks and months.
Three to five treatments with the 1550nm are required for significant improvement in acne scars, deeper lines and continued improvement in skin tone and texture.

In Bereshis (2:18), we find that G-d decided that Adam needed a wife: "and the L-rd G-d said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a help to match him (ezer k'negdo)."
The expression "a help to match him" is a bit odd. How is it that a person who helps is a person who is a match, who is opposed to the other as well. The commentator Rashi explains that "if he is worthy, his wife is an ezer, a helper, and if he is not worthy she is k'negdo, opposed to him."
The Lekach Tov is puzzeled by this explanation. It appears that Rashi is talking about one individual, who may or not be worthy. Shouldn't Rashi more properly term the example as two different scenarios: two husbands married to two wives, one who is an ezer, a helper and one who is k'negdo, against him?
The answer is that one wife can be both eizer and k'negdo at the same time. If she is there to help her husband grow spiritually and fight his Yetzer Hora, evil inclination, she both a helper and a match to him. She is an eizer, a helper, because she is helping him gain reward in the World To Come, and k'negdo, because she chalenges him when he is tempted by his evil inclination, and opposes his desires to succumb to his passions. A person with a wife like this is the one who Rashi describes as worthy. The one who Rashi describes as not worthy has a wife who lets her husband do all that he wants. She is not interested in his spiriual growth. She does not desire to challenge him to strive for spiritual greatness. While she might outwardly appear to be a "helper" to her husband, she is truthfully against him, for she allows and permits his spiritual decline. She can be a helper, one who allows her husband to fulfill his earthly desires, who is against him, for she allows for his self destruction.

Today's article is a continuation of my previous one about the reasons why the newborns are deprived of the umbilical cord in the maternity hospitals. This time I'm taking a look at the benefits of an attached umbilical cord.
As you know placental blood circulates between the placenta (i.e. mother) and a baby. Placental blood is the most valuable blood throughout a person's life. And its quantity influences his health throughout the life!
This blood is rich in immunoglobulins and it is the source of the strongest immunity for the whole future life of the child. The nature provides the child with the most powerful immunity when he goes out into this world. That's why this blood is more valuable than platinum and diamonds!
The umbilical cord weighs as much as the baby does. It contains the half of circulating blood volume, and when it is cut off immediately after the child's birth, he is deprived of half of the blood volume he will have never again and, respectively, his immunity and future health.
Lotus birth is the birth of a child without clamping the umbilical cord. Generally it is not necessary to clamp it, it will fall off by itself in 4-10 days. Until that moment you should put the umbilical cord into a plastic bag, and once the blood flow through the cord has stopped and the cord has stopped pulsating (it takes at least an hour) you just cut it. Some people don't even cut off the cord, they burn it with a candle.
Did you know that animals bite off the umbilical cord and eat the placenta? And women are also recommended to eat placenta because they will get all the necessary stem cells and hormones that their child will also get with the breast milk. And these hormones are necessary for proper work of the child's heart that will start readjusting to a new way of functioning. I know that it is not much pleasant, so the decision is yours.
Recommended actions after birth of the child
1. There's no need to force the baby to breathe immediately after birth. When the placenta begins to separate from the walls of the uterus (due to a series of strong contractions) gas exchange through the placenta will stop and the child will breathe reflexively. This will take 10-15 minutes after birth. Placenta abruption is the natural stimulus to breathing but not cutting the umbilical cord.
2. When the umbilical cord stops pulsating, you can cut it off if you do not want to carry it in a plate with an antiseptic until the umbilical cord falls off (in about 5-7 days). The umbilical cord falls off when the navel heals, that is, without the formation of the wound. In maternity hospitals the cord is cut off ahead of time and the wound appears and needs to be treated for a long time at home.
So, when the child started breathing, you need to wait until the placental blood flows completely to the baby and then cut off the umbilical cord.
3. The imprint – this is my mother and this is my baby. For this purpose the mother and the baby should keep eye contact within the first hours after birth.
4. The next days it is enough to wash the umbilical cord once a day when you bathe the baby.

Hanuman Kovil, Edavanna is a well known Hanuman Temple in Malappuram District of Kerala. It's famous for 'Uthrada Sadya' Festival on First Onam of every year. Annadanam and Rice Distribution on Uthradam day of Onam, Vidyarambham and Saraswathi Pooja on Vijayadasami, Special Poojas and Offerings on Vishu are important functions of this temple.
Hanuman Kovil is situated on Kozhikode-Nilambur-Gudallur Road just before Edavanna Town.
Dr. Jithesh Babu
Dr. Jithesh Babu, the Main Tantrik of the temple is well known for his advice and guidance that has provided succor to many a soul in distress. He is assisted by a team of experts and a well organized office network.
His contribution in the socio-cultural field include financial and material support to poor students, mental, physical, financial and medical aid to the needy.
His experiences in his own words …
"..After my school days, I started my career as a goldsmith. I felt some uneasiness in my life and career in those times. But I continued my career ignoring them. At the age of 19, I recognized I have some supernatural changes and I conveyed it to my parents. Being a traditional Hindu family my parents took me to a well known astrologer to find the root cause of these changes. To our surprise he found the Grace of Hindu God Hanuman on me. He found it happens to very rarest people. He advised to continue to hold this Grace on me so that it could help in giving good fortune to the society. But my parents denied this offer and asked him to take away the Grace from my body. He found there is no cent percent recovery from this and sent us back agreeing he'll do whatever he could, to take away the same. On his command we did 'Tantrik Karma' and kept away this Grace and I got married at the age of 25.
In 2002, I accompanied my friend to a famous Tantrik Sri. Narayana Warrier, Thrikkovil Variyam, Kolappulli, Shoranur. He recognized the Grace in me when he saw us and he had a special meeting with me. He found that I'll be under the control of this Grace within two years and advised me to meet him if I recognize it. As I was not interested in that I ignored it. I continued my gold business with around eight people working for me. Within a year the Grace entered my body with more power. I tried all methods to avoid it. When nothing worked I again went to Shoranur to meet the Tantrik. He told this Grace will not leave me and it will continue to be with me forever. On his order I did Poojas and Karmas and did my 'Upanayana' in 2004. I became a disciple of him and followed his Tantrik advice. Soon I came in contact with many renowned people. One among them was Psychiatrist Johnson Airur who recommended me to take Doctorate in Spirituality. I received my Doctorate in July 2008. Now, with the grace of Lord Hanuman, and with the recommendation of famous astrologers I do 'Poojas' and 'Karmas' for the needy. With no barriers of culture, wealth, religion, I help people who are in need of mental and physical happiness.
On recommendation of famous astrologer Sri. Mukkam Unnikrishna Pannicker we did 'Thamboola Prasna' [A karma to know the in-depth about Temple] and came to know that the Idol of Sri Rama and presence of Lord Hanuman and other Devas are there around 10 feet below the current Hanuman Temple. The grace of Lord Hanuman has increased since then."
