New Year's 2011: 7 Resolutions Anyone Can (and Should) Pull Off
The best way to tackle your New Year's resolutions isn't always to dive in full force. Racking up a few small successes before you tackle the big ones is the surprising trick that can make your New Year's resolutions last (or, okay, it's the one that can actually get you started on them in the first place). But how do you tally up those small successes? Simply do one of these easy moves every day this week.
New Year's Resolution Day #1: Don't Do Something!
Today, ignore your inner overachiever and don't take that big step toward your goal – like burning 300 extra calories at the gym. Instead, just don't do one thing that sabotages you. For example, don't grab a giant cookie from the tray at work just because they're free. When you aim too high and go for the crazy big goal, you're more likely to get frustrated and give up. Keep it simple today and get your success tally started.
New Year's Resolution Day #2: Schedule a Checkup
You know your gym will be twice as busy this month, but that's not the case for your doctor's office. Take a few minutes to target your overall health before you target your abs today. Pick up the phone-or log on to ZocDoc.com-and schedule everything from your yearly physical and gyno appointment to your teeth cleaning.
New Year's Resolution Day #3: Find Out How Fit You Really Are
It's impossible to know how to improve your fitness level if you don't know where you stand in the first place. Find out with an online fitness assessment (this one can tell you where your workout currently stands and how to ramp it up.) Or schedule a fitness evaluation at a local gym. They're usually free and don't require membership (but they'll probably try to get you to sign up, of course!).
New Year's Resolution Day #4: De-Clutter Your Closet and Your Life
Cleaning out your closet is similar to a pre-planned, intense workout: It sounds like a great idea ahead of time, you question your sanity during the process, and an overwhelming sense of accomplishment makes it worth it in the end. Today, start small. Get rid of at least 3 items of clothing that don't fit, including undergarments and workout clothes. Only keep what fits your body as it is now. If you lose weight in 2011, reward yourself with something new. On a roll? Use this step-by-step plan to clear out more clutter with minimum anxiety.
New Year's Resolution Day #5: Adopt One Habit
Focusing on the bad habits you want to break this year can be overwhelming. (Plus, they may not even be that bad. Learn the truth here.) Instead, try to add one good habit to your daily routine-starting now! Want to quit coffee? Make one of your cups decaf today. Trying to eat healthier? Start the day with a piece of fruit. Stick to this for a week, then a month, and soon your daily healthy habits will just be second nature.
New Year's Resolution Day #6: Do Something Fun
Don't force yourself to run before work if you hate running. Treat yourself to a fun workout today-really! Get moving however you like, whether it's yoga, belly dancing, or just jamming out in your bedroom to your favorite high-energy songs. (We have the perfect playlist for you here!) Spend an hour breaking a sweat and having fun, and you'll be more likely to do it again tomorrow. The end result: This will be the year you get in your best shape ever, your way.
New Year's Resolution Day #7: Eat Differently for Just One Day
Before you commit to a strict new eating plan, choose today as the one day of the week to test a diet that interests you. You'll discover obstacles that you'd never anticipate-without feeling like a failure. If you're pleasantly surprised, stick with it all week. (Find out how one raw foodie makes it easy to stick to her diet.)

A Date object represents the actual date -- i.e., the time in UTC. It's only in rendering the Date as a String that the concept of a format is introduced.

Efficiency is overrated, I think. For most programs, IO/database operations are the slowest by far, and the speed of anything else is unimportant.

The 2017 Ford Fusion Sport is a mid-sized sedan with 5 seats. We got to test drive this car for a week to get a good handle of the vehicle. At this point in my life, a sedan is a great vehicle for M and I. It still has lots of room for our friends and privacy of having things in a secured trunk.
The car comes in 3 colours – Lightning Blue, Burgundy Velvet Metallic, and White Gold. The lightning blue is quite stunning. My first car was blue, so being back behind the wheel of a blue car made me feel younger.
The LED lights, 4 exhausts, and the line across the side give the cars a sleek modern feel.
The blind spot indicators on the side mirrors helps inform drivers if there is a car in their blind spot. Handy just in case you aren't as attentive shoulder checking.
The trunk is spacious and the back seat fold down if you need extra space to move longer objects.
Keyless entry is awesome. You never really have to take the key out. As long as you are standing beside the car, the car will unlock automatically. The car also starts with a push of a button. Just make sure you don't lose this key.
Sync 3 and Sync Connect infotainment systems are smarter than previous versions and offer both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity. As an iPhone user, I always love to see the compatibility for a customized experience.
When you put the car in reverse, the rear view camera automatically transmits the image of what's behind your vehicle to your touchscreen when you're slowly backing up.
There is also sensors around the car and it will warn you when you are too close to any objects around you. One of my favourite standard features as it makes backing in parking and parallel parking so much easier.
The new gear shift dial was designed to take up less room and open up space for more conveniently arranged cupholders and a UBS port. It took a little getting use to, but it was fun to use. Very sleek. Press the Sport mode for an extra boost in power.
All seats have leather-trimmed seats with Miko suede.
On the drivers side door, I love how I could configure my seat settings. Since M and I are different sizes and have different seat preferences, I always get annoyed when I have to adjust my seat. Now, with this seat setting, there's a solution.
With smartphones being used in the cars, USB ports is a must.
The car has a 2.7L V6 EcoBoost engine, 325 horsepower and 350 lb.- ft. of torque, standard AWD and continuously controlled damping. When pushing on the gas, you can feel the power of the engine accelerate.
I loved the pre-collision assist and pedestrian detection features. The sensors detect a potential collision with a car or pedestrian in front of you by alerting you with a heads-up display, which simulates red brake lights, flashes on the windshield, and an audible alert sounds.
This came in handy while I was driving and cars in front of me suddenly break. If you don't take corrective action and collision is imminent, brakes are automatically applied.
Final Thoughts
From the city, highways and to the suburbs, it was a pleasure testing this car. One of my favourite parts of the car is definitely it's technology integration to make driving easier.

Sanguine Vampires
An explanation of the word FETISH as used in this article: The word 'fetish' means 'magical implement' - A Fetish is used in magic, for healing and many other positive things. The word in modern day usage has more often come to mean a deviant behavior, a sexual act to help gain arousal or completion. With a blood fetish, it means someone who needs the presence of blood during the sexual act, either their own or that of a partner. The bloodist is usually connected to bondage or S&M, where the entire experience is based on power and control for both, or either, of the participants. A Fetishist can be a Bloodist, but a Bloodist may not be a Vampire.
A Sanguine is a vampire who partakes of human or animal blood, for the purpose of taking in its energy. Anyone who partakes of the blood of another is not necessarily a Sanguine. Bloodists often call themselves vampires or are called vampires by outsiders and the uninformed. Again, the word Bloodist, as used here, is an umbrella term to them meaning a human who intakes blood.
Bloodists and Fetishists are not real vampires.
They, Bloodists, are only humans who enjoy feeding from one another. They are not vampires and they do not necessarily have the psychological problems so often attributed to sexual fetishists.
Bloodists do not need blood to survive. They simply have made a life style out of sharing one another's blood for pleasure, intimacy or some other form of bonding and closeness. Bloodists do often have both blood and sex, or just the 'blooding' which in many cases replaces the passion of sex itself. Again, I remind you that these are not vampires.
Sanguines are vampires and obtain their blood from donors and friends. Usually they do so by slicing with a razor, scalpel or other device included in the design of various jewelry. Blood pumps and needles are also used but biting is seldom employed by Sanguines. Most often these arrangements are consensual, but very dangerous. Such practices can lead to infections and transmitted illnesses of the blood. There are many things just as bad as AIDS which can be carried in the blood of an infected person. Illnesses that lay dormant, then strike a few months or years from now ... all just as serious and many just as deadly. And all of which can be passed on by you ... if you contract them without knowing it.
The safest thing is to not take part in Sanguine vampirism, but if you must then be sure you and your blood partners have valid lab tests before you proceed. Go with that person so you can be sure it is their actual blood and urine samples that are given to the lab. If you are going to use a razor or needle, be sure it is sterilized with alcohol and heat before and after every usage. Use disposable needles, do not share used needles and do not use a razor that is not completely cleaned of blood each and every time. But the best way to stay safe is to keep away. Don't even begin.

However, around mundo'desde the Ecuadorian jungle, to the Niger Delta in Nigeria, through the courts and the streets of New York and San Ramon, California'la people are fighting the world's oil giants. Shell and Chevron are in the spotlight because of their shareholders' meetings and a historical view, two events that are happening this week. Main article: History of the City of Cordova (Argentina)

Jeronimo Luis de Cabrera founded the city on the left bank of the river at a spot called Suquia Quisquisacate, named for the Indians at the confluence of two rivers, in what are now the barracks of the district Yapey , northeast of the existing central area .
Siglos XVI-XVII
Jeronimo Luis de Cabrera sirvio the royal army until 1571, when he became governor of Tucuman. Viceroy Francisco de Toledo and found him settle in the valley of Salta and the best place and appears to agree, by the Spanish people to these kingdoms of Peru is to enter those provinces without risk and danger up here, and they go out to these kingdoms to recruit and market.
When Cabrera came from Potosi in July 1572 due either to follow the directives of the Viceroy or the willingness to abide by Francisco de Aguirre (Tucuman governor and founder of Santiago del Estero), who urged him to continue his plan to conquer the South, chose Cabrera latter. Although it is unknown why this decision. The issue of more than a hundred men, treads the ground cordobes June 24 1573. The original territory was inhabited by aboriginal Comechingones, who lived in communities called Ayllus.
They found that a river called San Juan Cabrera (Suquia today), since the June 24 is the day of that saint. Cordoba was founded on July 6 of that year under the name of the New Andalusia Cordova, possibly in tribute to the ancestors of his wife, originally from the eponymous Spanish. The foundation took place on the left bank of the river at a spot called Quisquisacate, named for the Indians at the confluence of two rivers, in what today are the banks of the Yapey district, northeast of the existing central area. Cabrera, at the same time, he tilled the founding act of the scribe Francisco Torres and determined the arms of the city .
Cabrera sought two objectives. One of them was to have an exit to the "North Sea", ie the Atlantic Ocean, as it believed that the Laguna Mar Chiquita is a bay of the ocean, and also attempt to found a city on the banks of the Parana river. The second objective was the fabulous City of the Caesars.
Cordova from Karduba (contraction Kart Juba, "The city of Juba). That this original settlement in Spain, was so christened by the Carthaginian general Amilcar Barca in honor of a general Numida named Juba, who fought and died in battle in the region around the year 230 BC
The town must be on a gold background, a castle round stone color, with one tower and battlements, two rivers of dark blue and on each side of the castle, three national flags of both ends . For Ringer, one of two flag points, till golden, whose color comes from iron in the interior of the shield and is supported by the castle tower.
First layout of the city in 1577 by Don Lorenzo Suarez de Figueroa.
According to data from historical archives, after 4 years of the city founded in 1577, the authorities once removed Aboriginal resolved Cordova moving to another room Suquia River, and the then Lieutenant Governor Don Lorenzo Suarez de Figueroa stroke to the forefront of the city, 70 blocks. The paper gives an account of a town with 10 blocks long and seven wide. In the image can be seen that the plots were divided into four. This regia for the neighbors, as the land of religious orders were not divided.
In 1580 construction began on the Cathedral of Cordova, completed in 1758. In 1599, it installs the religious order of Jesuits, thus Cordova became the central task of the evangelization of Jesus. The religious order founded in 1608 and in 1610 the Novitiate College Maximo which results in 1613 the University of Cordova (now National University of Cordoba), the fourth oldest in America. In 1622 the office began to function Seca. In 1671 was consecrated the Church of the Compania de Jesus . Then in 1687, Ignacio Duarte Quiros and founded the National Association of Montserrat. During the so-called first period (1687-1767), the College was governed by the Jesuit priests. In 1699, Cordova became the seat of the Bishop of Tucuman. In this way, the city is the administrative, religious and educational advancement of the region .
Siglo XVIII
According to a report of the town, the population of the city in January 1760 amounted to 22,000 inhabitants, of whom 1500 were Spanish and the remaining were divided into mestizos, mulattoes and blacks. New York households are paying less for energy because they are turning to cutting energy costs. It is assumed that the population was
The Health Ministry Actimel
Press release about the company Danone Actimel (Spain: Recently, circulating false news network on Actimel. In this section, the Ministry of Education and Science, the Association of Dentists and Nutritionists of Spain and finally Danone, denied this information in three communiques and other documents on which it is clear that Actimel helps your defense. Hear other arguments on the topic with P&G. Why should this brief statement of Danone and the extensive TV ad that in Argentina the company La Serenissima (Actimel markets in the Southern Cone) aired in which the ineffable Pancho Iba ez tells us how good it is Actimel A new case of crisis (and spoke some time ago the Dasani) starting on the Web and rapidly expanding the off-line world. In the beginning: a text which ran-effective viral marketing campaign mail-boxes of thousands of people.This is the text of one of the emails received: "The Actimel provides the body a bacteria called Lactobacillus casei. This substance is normally generated by 98 of the organisms, but when it is supplied externally by a prolonged period, the body ceases to develop and gradually "forgets" to be doing and how, especially in people younger than 14 years. In fact, emerged as a remedy for those few people who did not elaborate, but that universe was so small that the drug was not profitable to do so profitably sold his patent to food companies. The Health Ministry Actimel forced to state in their advertising that the product should not be used for a long time and have, but in a way so subtle that no consumer is perceived (eg "Actimel challenge: eat it for 14 days "or" do its Actimel August). If a mother decides to supplement the diet with Actimel, receives no notice of your inconvenience and do not see that may be causing significant damage to future because of handling advertising to boost business. " The company's response, "the team Actimel" in full, (and his "endorsers" or third parties) are summarized in this sentence: No body produces bacteria, ie, not generated, they just stay in our gut.Its incorporation is always external. Therefore it is good and desirable to incorporate L-Casei through Actimel. Also, this raised many voices. For example you can read in the foro.recuperarelpelo.com: "While Actimel is not a hoax and does not have to do with Alopecia, leave this open in case someone can provide some source to the contrary (except La Serenissima ). " Those who are interested can view or download all documents http://www.actimel.es/comunicados "official" Danone. There you can read: the release of Danone, the Superior Council of Scientific Research and the Spanish Association of Dietitians – Nutritionists. A PR effort of the company to halt the spread rumor on the web. In the case of Argentina, where he began the move anti-Actimel on line – the company turned to ANMAT (National Administration of Drugs, Food and Medical Technology) as an endorser. This can be read at: http://www.actimel.
Hinduism Zohar is a complex of various belief systems that sees many gods and goddesses as being representative or issued by a single source, Brahman, understood as the essence that is all, report in the infinite, impersonal Advaita tradition or as a spirituality dual god such as Lakshmi-Vishnu, Radha-Krishna, Devi-Shiva according to the traditions Dvaita. The 'Aktas, the worshipers of the gods, this God associated with Devi, the mother goddess.
Aspects such as a God who tikkun is God a male ( 'aktiman) powered female (' Akti) improve the world working as a partner are often imagined as gods, men and their wives or consorts, providing many similarities between a male breadwinner passive growth and dynamic of the feminine energy.
For example, Brahma evenly with Sarasuati while evenly Shiva with Uma, who is then displayed through a number of avatars (incarnations): Parvati and Durg warriors' and Kali. All the goddesses in Hinduism are sometimes grouped together in the great goddess Devi.
The idea of 'Aktis introduces an additional element. Its ideology, based mainly on the tantras sees' Akti as energy through which all the divine works, so the male is dependent on the feminine.
In a very important writing 'Akta known as Devi Mahatmya, all goddesses are presented as expressions and aspects The Light of a single female force, one in its truth, but many in the form of God, who gives the world and the lectures cosmos energy study for its operation. P&G: the source for more info. Both treaties as philosophical metaphors convey the message that the potential of being male is determined by the action of the divine female.
The local deities from different regions in India were often identified with the main Hindu Kabbalah deities, a process that Berg has been dubbed 'Sanskritizacion. Others attribute it to the influence of monism or Advaita which denies a polytheist or monotheist categorization.
Some goddesses lessons go up to over 100 names. While monistic forces have led to the fusion between some goddesses, centrifugal forces have led to the rise of new popular goddesses and rituals in different parts of the Hindu world. Thus, the goddess Durga, which is very mysticism popular, was a pre-Vedic goddess who was later fused with Parvati, a process that can be traced through texts such as the Purana Kaliko (Tenth Century) Durgabhaktitarangini (Vidyapati Century 15) , Chandimangal (16th century) and so on.

Mixed Media
New Internationalist 340 November 2001
The Undiscovered Paul Robeson:
Paul Robeson was an iconic figure of the 20th century; not only a truly great singer and actor but also a political activist and courageous fighter against injustice. In this new biography, his son, Paul Robeson Jr writes of the father he knew – both the public figure and the private, troubled man.
An Artist's Journey covers the first four decades of Robeson's life. Drawing heavily on letters and other archival material, it traces a career that encompassed artistic and commercial success; great singing tours and acting triumphs such as The Emperor Jones and Othello.
Reviewing the first of two volumes presents particular problems. Throughout these early years, Robeson steadfastly resisted political involvement and insisted his only role was that of a performer. This book ends just as he is becoming radicalized and Volume 2 will cover Robeson the social activist and campaigner. He paid a heavy price for his beliefs; harried by the US authorities, barred from performing and his passport withdrawn, he suffered breakdowns and years of obscurity before some measure of rehabilitation and recognition prior to his death in 1976.
Robeson's greatness is unquestionable but this book, stopping where it does, short-changes his genius. Perhaps we have to wait for the next volume and judge the work as a whole. In the meantime, the partial story that it tells can be set in context with Robeson's own words, quoted in Philip Foner's magnificent anthology, Paul Robeson Speaks: 'The Artist must take sides. He must elect to fight for freedom or slavery. I have made my choice.'
Legacy of the Prophet:
It goes almost without saying that the prevalent Western notion of political Islam is of an ideology that is repressive, violent and narrow-minded. For Anthony Shadid, a US Associated Press journalist with Arab roots, this view needs redressing. Not that he has a particular political axe to grind – he just wants to move beyond hysteria.
In Legacy of the Prophet Shadid resists the temptation of presenting two types of Islam: faith defined by 'the need for generosity and justice' on the one hand and the menacing reality of the Taliban or suicide bombers on the other. Rather, he explores the links between them. Shadid's in-depth knowledge of the region – he has travelled extensively and lived in Cairo for five years – lends validity to his attempt. Through a mixture of interview, reportage, anecdote and biography, he transports us from a temporary army base in Afghanistan to the Saudi Arabia of Osama bin Laden's privileged childhood; from the Hamas headquarters in Palestine to the Iran of the Ayatollah Khomeini.
Crucially, Shadid emphasizes the differences between the numerous movements which are commonly bracketed under 'political Islam'. While criticizing the brutality of Islamic regimes such as Sudan's or the violence of zealots, he shows that for many Muslims the politicization of their faith is mainly about protecting the 'disinherited'. Hence the inherently optimistic tone of the book as it charts democratic trends in political Islam. No doubt Shadid will alienate some Islamic scholars and upset some Western readers. But this may be seen as a testament to the balanced yet uncompromising nature of his work.
Dogside Story
Patricia Grace's striking new novel takes us to a rural setting a world away from the violence and poverty portrayed in the film Once Were Warriors. The book is set in a coastal Maori community on Aotearoa/New Zealand's scenic East Cape. In ramshackle Dogside (so-named because of the number of stray dogs, and in contrast to Godside, where all the churches are) the people are preparing for the millennium and the chance to make some easy money from the tourists flocking to see the first 'millennial' sunrise. Te Rua, at first glance a young carefree beachcomber, has other things on his mind. His daughter Kiri is living with his aunts – whose care is slapdash, to say the least; the date for the court case that will decide her future is approaching. Te Rua knows that the custody battle will change everything for he harbours a secret that he hoped he could take to his grave. The implications of this secret, if he reveals it, will shock his own family and reverberate throughout the whole community.
Dogside Story neatly counterpoints the Maori sense of the land with the Western notion of millennium, presenting us with a convincing and moving depiction of a way of life in which the rules and customs of the whanau (extended family) are what matter. In a deceptively simple style and with wit and humanity, Patricia Grace unearths the foundations of society and family in all their contradictions and complexities.
Salt Rain
There's a special luminosity about Susheela Raman's début album that's hard to locate in any one aspect. Is it the way that the young singer-writer has woven traditional tunes and mantras from southern India? Or the subtle atmospherics with which guitarist and producer Sam Mills imbues Salt Rain? Or, perhaps, the spot-on, highly intuitive band, who bring Arabic, African and Asian tones into the mix? Wherever the charge of Salt Rain may lie, it's clear that its author is a star in the making.
After a training in Indian classical music and Tamil folk song, Raman discovered that she had a taste for the blues, and it's these two different traditions that make Salt Rain so wonderful. It kicks off with 'Ganapti', a Sanskrit meditation on Ganesh and one's immediately aware of the beautiful languidity of Raman's voice. It slips over the lyrics, even as some slithery cello and a hot-weather percussion and acoustic guitar strive to hold it down. On 'Maya', the band break into a sensual skank rhythm, a klezmer feel suggested in Manos Achalinopoulos' clarinet. The album breaks roughly between arrangements of traditional Indian works and the band's own songs.
There are points of surprise, as on 'O Rama' where a Marley-influenced space opens up, thanks in part to Ayub Ogagda's guest vocals. Percussionists Djanuno Dabo, Aref Durvesh and Hossam Ramzi deserve special mentions, as does cellist Vincent Segal. But the sheer pleasure is listening to Raman's effortless improvisations: she slides from English into Hindi, Tamil and Sanskrit, firing syllables with the ease of a Sheila Chandra. The album's title track displays the loose, but finely focused talents in all their splendour. An absolute winner
Now here's a paradox: an album that revels in its use of studio technology and yet warns, throughout the fascinating journey it makes, of the dangers of technology. To be sure, this is not the first time that such an issue has been addressed – Laurie Anderson, for one, has based her last 20 years' worth of work on this same theme – but Nitin Sawhney's deftness is to restate the paradox within a completely different framework.
And it's hard not to be impressed by what Prophesy achieves. For his fifth album, Sawhney – who has worked with Sinead O'Connor, Cheb Mami and Talvin Singh among other luminaries – races through Spanish guitars and castanets, swathes of string arrangements and brooding studio treatments to arrange an album which is an eloquent defence of the idea that all traditions and nations have something to offer one another, as much as it is a statement that, in the right hands, musical fusion really does work. In his mission, Sawhney is joined by a host of international musicians – listen out for Natacha Atlas, Trilok Gurtu and Yothu Yindi's Yunupingu brothers – and some unexpected eminences, too. Hearing Nelson Mandela's 'We are free to be free' line midway through Prophesy is an undoubted high point.
Prophesy is less an album of straight songs – although Terry Callier's mellifluous blues vocal stands out on 'The Preacher' – as of textures. Sawhney builds a compelling argument that, in its execution, sets out a whole new standard for others to aspire to.
The Wire Mountain
This is a home video with a difference. Puppetmaker Claire Creswell has sought to make the links between our cosy daily domestic lives and the big bad world. The result is quirky, laconic, satirical and, at times, quite inspired in its odd humour. 'Mum', 'bum' and 'cuddles' are swiftly transposed on to the faceless corporate puppets determined to sell, sell, sell items that 'cuddle you' and 'cuddle our profits'. The soundtrack is funky and funny: ditties like 'The Aria of the Aware' ('I worry, worry, worry about the world') are priceless. After a somewhat faltering start the video gains momemtum and becomes increasingly, delightfully, surreal.
The Speculation Game
In 1998, following the collapse of a number of Asian economies, the international bank HSBC recorded a one-billion-dollar increase in profits – most of it arising from currency speculation on Asian money markets. The whereabouts of the smoking gun were not exactly hard to detect.
The frightening extent to which governments, populations and their economies are at the mercy of speculators is explicitly set out in this calm and lucid video. Banks and speculators may win or they may lose – but the rest of us, the public, always lose. Speculation works to undermine the real economy – us, people, life itself.
This film pulls no punches but, to his credit, Zuchuat does not draw all his experts from the same pond. So we have the likes of radical economist Susan George one moment, and a Swiss banker spouting orthodoxy the next. But the most damning evidence actually comes from two ex-traders as they anatomize a system made up of manipulation, greed and, above all, the fearsome irrationality of the herd.
This well-constructed case leaves one wondering how much longer we can leave this economic equivalent of a nuclear bomb in the hands of people with zilch social responsibility. When are politicians going to pull their fingers out and start doing the job of democracy they were elected for?
One possible way forward is, of course, the proposed Tobin tax on currency transations. But even if adopted it will need constant adjusting to stay one step ahead of speculators.

John Lee looks at a literary genre with a long shelf-life
Thomas More set the tone when he appropriated the word 'utopia', suggesting Greek words meaning 'no place' and 'good place', as the title for his anonymously published novel in 1516.
At the time, More must have been unaware he had kick-started a richly entertaining literary genre. But in the few hundred years since, utopia has come to be the realm where authors' imaginations roam free – unlike many of the inhabitants of these 'ideal societies'.
More's novel is a travel journal related by an old sea dog. Raphael Hythlodaeus outlines in minute detail his visit to an uncharted, but highly progressive, island in the New World. With a universal healthcare system so well-resourced that 'everyone would rather be ill in hospital than go home', More's perfect society outlaws hunting as 'barbaric', uses science to reclaim land for agriculture, and accepts women priests.
But with the benefits of a perfect order, come the downside of control. This utopian world is hierarchical with a working class bound to hard labour. The slaves work just six hours a day but 'they must be in bed by 8.00pm'. Passports are needed for travelling between towns, with slavery one of the punishments for being caught 'wandering' without.
Renaissance More may have established the precedent but the golden age of utopian novels was the second half of the 19th century. In Looking Backward, US writer Edward Bellamy creates a technological paradise of shopping malls, credit cards, and endlessly piped music. Healthcare and employment are guaranteed and efficient central planning has standardized education and industry. A paternalistic government has ordered away poverty, inequality and all social ills. Inspired by his book, dozens of 'Bellamy societies' sprang up across North America to lobby for social change.
Meanwhile in England, socialist, activist and designer William Morris presented a very different ideal world. In his 1890 News From Nowhere, he described a romanticized, ecologically balanced society to challenge the complacent belief that science and technology would land humanity at the threshold of a real utopia.
William Guest travels home one night by train 'in a vapour bath of hurried and discontented humanity' before falling asleep. When he awakes, he finds himself in the late 20th century. But instead of a benevolent scientific paradise, he encounters a vibrant pastoral landscape and is taken by boat along a River Thames freed of industrial pollutants.
With its environmental concerns and warnings against blindly embracing scientific and industrial innovation, News From Nowhere is not so easily dismissed as a product of its time. But one issue relegates it to the same level as most other utopian novels. The ideal society in nearly all utopian books is less than liberating for women. Usually they are nothing more than the exotic love interest for the book's male protagonist.
It took a novel from Charlotte Perkins Gilman, published in 1915, to break the mould. Herland, re-discovered after 60 years out of print, features the discovery by three young American men of a South American society, hidden by mountains, and peopled exclusively by women for 2,000 years. The women are able to reproduce parthenogenically (without men) and, due to the absence of males in society, they live unlike any other women on earth.
In Gilman's utopia, bringing up children without men creates a revolutionary new social structure. Each child's welfare in Herland is the direct concern of both her mother and the entire society.
While many utopian novels contain a few accurate predictions about what a future ideal world might look like, more often they describe societies that most people would not want to live in. But painting an accurate likeness of heaven on earth is not as important to many utopian novelists as attacking the failings of the real world and encouraging readers to do the same. That they do this in satirical and entertaining ways is the reason many of these works have endured as novels even when some of their political ideas have become obsolete.
Utopia, by Thomas More is published by Templegate Publishers, 2000. Looking Backward 2000-1887 by Edward Bellamy is published by Applewood Books, 2000. News From Nowhere and Other Writings by William Morris is published by Penguin Books, 1993. Herland, The Yellow Wall-Paper and Selected Writings by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, is published by Penguin Books, 1999.

Peter Els, an avant-garde composer, is on the run, as are many men in American fiction these days.
He was beginning to have trouble understanding music, and what he decided to do about it was to become a home bio-engineer. He wanted to alter bacteria for the purpose of recording his music on it: "the one durable medium". When he makes a clumsy phone call to 911 about his dead dog, he gets a visit from the police, who are startled by his suburban Pennsylvania laboratory and report him to the security services. "Bio-punk" doesn't go down well with the Department of Homeland Security.
Els has had the kind of career you can expect when you write serious music: it's been heard by the few (with one infamous exception, a grand opera that scandalized the musical world). He's spent most of his career as a teacher, and in the course of various disillusionments and periods of self-exile he has fallen in and out of love with several interesting women (the novel is very good on love), and also with music.
The subject (and method) of Richard Powers's Orfeo is music, particularly some great achievements of modernism: listen to this music while reading the book, or perhaps you might hear the novel in the music later. There is a searing account of Shostakovich's dealings with Stalin. And in a virtuoso passage, which would make a wonderful short film, Powers takes Steve Reich's Proverb (a piece that sets a text by Ludwig Wittgenstein: "How small a thought it takes to fill a whole life") and recounts its effect on a lot of different people in a sloppy midwestern coffee shop. It's a kind of Edward Hopper kaleidoscope of American types.
Powers makes you 'listen' to a lot of music on the page, ingeniously anchoring several major pieces to aspects of the story. He dazzlingly describes Olivier Messiaen's composition and performance, in a concentration camp in 1941, of the Quartet For The End Of Time, one of the most haunting pieces of 20th-century music: "The end of the End, when it arrives at last, comes as a solo violin above piano throb. Pared back to its essence, the melody abides, burnt pure in the crucible of the war. Out of a cloud of shimmering E-major chords -the key of paradise - the violin hints at all a person might still have, after death takes everything." Orfeo is an audacious attempt to write about music in a new way. It's not described, but performed for you on the page. It works.
As he flees erratically towards Arizona, Els reflects on his life ("I wanted music to be the antidote to the familiar") and what the government thinks he's done. The battle is really over the soul, not germs, and there's a sense of very recognisable 21st-century dread: "To call any music subversive, to say that a set of pitches and rhythms could pose a threat to real power … ludicrous. And yet, from Plato to Pyongyang, that endless need to legislate sounds. To police the harmonic possibilities as if there were no limit to music's threat."
Thomas Bernhard, in one of his many bursts of intense irony, wrote "music will eventually destroy absolutely everything totally, mark my words". He was talking before the digital age, about the proliferation of music and the cynical uses of it, and predicted the avalanche of meaninglessness that's proving our undoing. Now along comes Orfeo to underline him with a flourish. "The world's bounty has overflowed," reflects Els, "and the young are washed away in it. Human ingenuity was doomed from the first, to do itself in with abundance."
Orfeo is a disquisition on what a suspicious government can make of culture and the sinister connections it randomly draws between one element of a citizen's life and another.
In that case, you might wonder, why not make the story about an idea, about music itself, and dispense with the middle-aged 'terrorist' and his Breaking Bad-style lab? But Richard Powers handles the sensational well, and this is a sensitive, thrilling, brainy book. If we must have car chases, we must. It's America!

Two Chicago aldermen are demanding to know why police and other city officials largely are ignoring laws that ban excessive idling by diesel buses and trucks.
In response to a Tribune investigation, Ald. Edward Burke (14th) and Virginia Rugai (19th) announced today that they will hold hearings about the city's tepid enforcement of a state anti-idling law enacted more than four years ago, and a tougher, city-only version approved last year.The newspaper reported last month that city officials have written only 34 tickets for excessive idling during the past four years. Chicago police have yet to write a single ticket for violating the laws, records show.
Mayor Richard Daley's administration pushed for the city's anti-idling law last year during Chicago's unsuccessful bid for the 2016 Olympics, promising it would help clean up toxic air pollution and encourage companies to save fuel.
But on dozens of occasions in September, October and November, the Tribune observed buses and trucks idling far longer than the city's three-minute limit. Testing by the newspaper found the amount of lung- and heart-damaging soot lingering in the air next to the idling vehicles soared up to 30 times higher than normal street levels.
"Isn't it shocking that we pass ordinances and nobody enforces them, especially in light of the fact that the question of air quality is so high on the agenda of everyone?" said Burke, also noting the city's cash-strapped budget could use a boost from the ticket revenue.
So far most of the tickets have been written by one Department of Revenue parking enforcement aide in Lakeview, Lincoln Park and the Loop. The city law also authorizes the Police Department, Department of Environment and Office of Emergency Management and Communications to hand out tickets, which slap drivers with a $250 fine.
In recent years, government officials across the nation have embraced anti-idling policies to curb emissions of diesel soot that can lodge deeply in the lungs and penetrate the bloodstream. Diesel exhaust also combines with other pollutants in the air to form lung-damaging smog.
Anti-idling laws generally allow drivers to keep their engines running to operate air conditioning or heating in hot or cold weather, but otherwise require them to shut down if standing for more than three minutes.
City officials said they have spent the past year educating fleet operators about the law and training city workers to limit idling. They have posted warning signs in about a dozen spots where buses congregate, including outside the Adler Planetarium, River North theme restaurants and City Hall.

No Casualties in Crisis
Joshua 7:6-15 and Hebrews 3:1-18
The church and families in America are in an urgent crisis today because of our arrogance and resulting prayerlessness that has led us to all kinds of idolatry. Remember that this sin of idolatry causes dangerous anger in God our Father and does not hallow His name. An annual Day of Prayer and lots of good activities–even in ministry–are not enough to bring Him glory. We must have a daily radical, intimate relationship with Him through Jesus Christ, our High Priest, so that He can direct us to the activities that will glorify Him the most. This way, we can avoid the casualties that we are seeing so often today.
St. Gregory of Nyssa defined prayer as follows:
The effect of prayer is union with God, and, if someone is with God he is separated from the enemy. Through prayer we guard our chastity, control our anger and rid ourselves of vanity. It makes us forget injuries, overcomes envy, defeats injustice and makes amends for sin. Through prayer we obtain physical wellbeing, a happy home, and a strong, well ordered society….Prayer is the seal of virginity and a pledge of faithfulness in marriage. It shields the wayfarer, protects the sleeper and gives courage to those who keep vigil….It will refresh you when you are weary and comfort you when you are sorrowful. Prayer is the delight of the joyful as well as the solace of the afflicted….Prayer is the enjoyment of things present and the substance of things to come.
Brutally honest prayer of discovery, inspection, and confession will lead us to engage with the Holy Spirit for a deep cleansing of our hearts and homes to extinguish any accursed sins that offend Yahweh. We must not minimize or excuse sin by becoming angry or defensive. Instead, we need to experience conviction, forgiveness, restoration, and revival. We must act swiftly, as Joshua did, to bring God's blessing. If we harden our hearts in rebellion and unbelief, we bring God's fierce anger.
Let's look into our own hearts and homes and search diligently for anything that God abhors. Times of crisis–danger, trouble, or temptation–should cause conviction and change, NOT CASUALITIES! Remember not to forget Joshua's example of fervent, agonizing prayer and immediate, complete obedience. Don't be a casualty, whatever you are facing right now! Pray!

How To Boost The Quality Of Your Content How To Boost The Quality Of Your Content September 12 Myles Jack Jersey , 2013 | Author: Ron Stucky | Posted in Advertising
Even though the article marketing landscape has changed with Google's FarmerPanda update, you can learn how to make it work better for you. In the years before the war on content farms began in earnest, there were essentially two approaches to article marketing. Some knew that by creating content that other sites wanted they could benefit from syndication, but most only churned out articles for the major directories in order to get them ranked as quickly as possible. At this point, however, you can't count on getting ranked if you write sloppy or poorly written articles.
We realize that many small web marketers wonder about the question of short or long articles. The shorter variety are anywhere from 400 to about 500 words. A longer article of 800 words or more will stand out in some ways, which can be a good thing for your purposes. There are compelling reasons to focus your efforts on the longer articles because you can get more powerful results. First, sites who syndicate your articles generally prefer longer content, and that means there is a greater chance of getting syndicated. Additionally, it's recommended that you publish your articles on your own site before submitting them anywhere else Calais Campbell Jaguars Jersey , and longer articles will be better optimized for the search engines than shorter ones.
If you write articles, then you already understand the need to produce it and get it done fast. Writing a quick outline for articles or blog posts is essential to get the content written quickly. Once you have done this then you will naturally become more adept with the process. You will always have a goal in mind with each thing you write, and that is what they outline will help you to solidify. There are some excellent article writing tutorials on the net you can find and read. The article has a main content body, and at the very end you need to provide a summary or conclusion.
If you are going to write high quality articles, you have to give a lot of thought to the research you put into them. Very many thousands of people have consistently and routinely relied on article directories as a source of information for articles. The expected result is untold numbers of articles that basically say the same thing. There are, however, other places to do your research if you're willing to go the extra mile. A university or public library or even a good bookstore can be good places to find material for your articles. While it is an obvious inconvenience, doing so will just about guarantee that your content will be highly unique.
There's an endless amount of research you could do to help you understand article marketing more thoroughly. Yet it's not enough to simply accumulate a lot of information; you also have to make use of it. Effective article marketing takes time and a certain amount of work. Writing consistently is actually the best way to get better as a writer. If you want to be successful at article marketing, write as many articles as you can and look for ways to make each one a little better.
