- Letter to Brahmananda, Hayagriva, Kirtanananda, Satsvarupa, Gargamuni, Acyutananda and Jadurani written from San Francisco
|I understand that you are feeling my absence. Krishna will give you strength. Physical presence is immaterial; presence of the transcendental sound received from the spiritual master should be the guidance of life. That will make our spiritual life successful.
|If you feel very strongly about my absence you may place my pictures on my sitting places and this will be source of inspiration for you.
1969 - January 19
| Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada
| "So our Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is to give people chance to take advantage of this Vedic literature. There is a very nice verse in Caitanya-caritāmṛta:
We do not know when we have forgotten God, when we have missed our relationship with God. We are eternally related with God. We are still related. Our relationship is not lost. Just like the father and the son, the relationship cannot be lost, but when the son becomes crazy or mad, he thinks that he has no father. That is a conditional... But actually the relationship is not lost. When he comes to the consciousness, 'Oh, I am the son of such-and-such gentleman', the relationship is immediately there. Similarly, our consciousness, this material consciousness, is a condition of craziness. We have forgotten God. We are declaring God is dead. Actually I am dead. I am thinking, 'God is dead'."

|Simple method: chanting this Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare/ Hare Rāma, Hare Rāma, Rāma Rāma, Hare Hare. So this is our propaganda. We don't charge anything. We don't say that "I sell one mantra. You take it and give me some dollars." No. It is freely distributed. Freely. In the street they are being distributed. But don't neglect it. Because we are distributing this, the most valuable asset of the world so cheaply, don't neglect it.
|Your child is very nice, and Krishna has given him a great opportunity to perfect himself in spiritual life because He has placed him under the care of a mother who is a sincere devotee. Try to help him grow up peacefully in Krishna Consciousness.
1970 - January 19
|I am surprised to see one item: withdrawal of $10.08 (ten dollars and eight cents) on the 16th December, 1969. I have not withdrawn anything, so how it so happens? Please therefore correct the pass book sent herewith, and send it back.
1972 - January 19
|We have to become swans, rāja-haṁsa, paramahaṁsa, paramahaṁsa. Paramo nirmatsarāṇām SB 1.1.2. Then you can understand Kṛṣṇa consciousness. If you remain crows, then you cannot, that is not possible. By nature's example we have to see if crows-like and swans-like, pigeons-like, birds of the same feather. Birds of the same feather flock together, is it not?
|My Guru Maharaja used to say śālagrām bir badam hoy. Just like you have seen śālagrāma. So if somebody takes that and breaks peanuts, so there is no devotion. It is a show during, attracting the visitors, it is nicely decorated, but in their absence, take it and you will have stone.
|All necessary expenditures will be paid by check from the Book Fund. For petty expenses, not exceeding Rs. 200/- may be kept with you always and everything should be accounted for with vouchers. No such items should be mentioned as "miscellaneous." Anyone who takes money personally for miscellaneous expenditures must sign a voucher - this is accounting.
1974 - January 19
|When you chant, that is also kirtana; when you distribute book, that is also kirtana. When you read book, that is also kirtana.
|Monkey's business is simply waste of time. He's very busy. You'll find always busy. So the busy fool is dangerous. There are four classes of men: lazy intelligent, busy intelligent, lazy fool and busy fool. (laughter) So first-class man is lazy intelligent. Just like you'll see the high-court judges. They're very lazy and most intelligent. That is first-class man. They are doing everything very soberly.
|Those who are in the preaching work, they are very much recognized by Krsna. He says, Nobody is dearer than him, one who is preaching, engaged in the preaching.
- Letter to Gurudasa written from Honolulu
- Letter to Manager of Punjab National Bank written from Honolulu
|The purpose of sending this money is to construct our Krsna-Balarama temple at Raman Reti in Vrindaban. This money is a contribution of my ISKCON temples here in the U.S.A.
|Henceforward all collections for Vrindaban Temple Construction should be deposited in this newly opened fund account.
1975 - January 19
| Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada
|"If we utilize our senses always in the service of the Lord, that is bhakti. At the present moment we are utilizing our senses for material objectives. That is to be purified. It should be used for Kṛṣṇa's service. We are using our senses for the service of society, friendship and love. But that service should be transferred to Kṛṣṇa. Then it is bhakti. Sarvopādhi-vinirmuktaṁ tat-paratvena nirmalam (CC Madhya 19.170)."
|750119 - Lecture SB 03.26.44 - Bombay
|Nobody is giving credit to Kṛṣṇa, who is floating millions and trillions of stars and planets in the air. So by taking Kṛṣṇa's stock, the petroleum or gas, we become scientist and fly the aeroplane, and Kṛṣṇa has given the petrol, and He has no credit. He has no credit. That is the difference between demons and bhakta. A bhakta sees in everything presence of Kṛṣṇa: "Oh, here is Kṛṣṇa's energy is there. Here is nice taste. Oh, here is Kṛṣṇa."
|By Krishna's grace, you are very much engaged there. It is very encouraging. I will be going to Hawaii on Jan. 24th via Hong Kong and Tokyo, arriving in Honolulu about the 29th. If you like, you can see me there.
|Now, we should have self-sufficiency. This means to make our own food grains grow and to weave our own cloth - like in Mayapur. If we have food grains, milk, and cloth life becomes easy and we can save time for preaching and chanting.
|Every volume of Srimad-Bhagavatam, Caitanya Caritamrta and any other big volumes, must have a full index. It is not a very prestigious presentation without the index. All volumes in the future must have the index.
|Everyone should feel proud of his particular type of devotional service, but that does not mean that other types of service are inferior. Everyone should feel proud of becoming sincere servant of Krishna, but the pure devotee never minimizes the importance of other devotees. Krishna is the enjoyer of varieties of service.
|Regarding your question about the controversial talks going on, this kind of talk is not befitting my advanced students. This is childish. In Krishna's service, there is no inferior and superior. Deity worship is just as important as book distribution. It is not material.
|I will be coming there (to Hyderabad) shortly—in April, for a large pandal program. You can see me then. For the time being, try to be very staunch in following all the rules and regulations. Chant 16 rounds daily, attend mangala arati and classes, etc. and you will be very happily engaged in the service of the Supreme Lord, Sri Krishna. Never let a moment go by without engaging in at least one of the nine devotional processes.
1976 - January 19
|Nṛsiṁha-deva wanted to give him benediction, blessings, "Whatever you like." He refused that. He said that "I'm not a mercantile devotee that I'll get some benefit from You but first benediction I want that let me engage in service of Your servant, Nārada Muni." Tava bhṛtya-sevām. "Because my spiritual master gave me blessing therefore I see You. So my first business is to serve him." This is Vaiṣṇava conclusion. So he refused direct service but he wanted blessing that he may be engaged in the service of his spiritual master.
|To stop death, birth, death, old age, is very major problem, but even in small things you cannot do anything. Everywhere you are dependent. And still, they are very much proud that they are advancing in scientific knowledge so that they can overcome the stringent laws of nature.
1977 - January 19
|Utkala-deśa is very favorite to the Gauḍīya Vaiṣṇava. Now we have got a little place here. If by combined effort, it doesn't matter it takes time, but slowly but surely we can develop this center. Especially Bhuvaneśvara is going to be the capital of Orissa. In future many tourists will come to see other attraction of Orissa. Now it is up to the Orissa residents to develop this idea into concrete shape.
|This Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is specially meant for removing this misconception of understanding God and the jīvas. So our first principle is that we have to disregard the persons who are very much anxious to establish that īśvara and Parameśvara, or the living entity and the Supreme Person, they are equal.
|Prabhupāda: Take some Gītār Gān.
Gargamuni: Yes, I'm going to take. I was thinking if my vans get kicked out of the country because of the customs, that we would go to Bangladesh and take trunkloads of Gītār Gāns and go to Dacca and Chittagong and some of the big cities.
Prabhupāda: Bangladesh. It will be great service.
|I wish to die without a doctor. Don't... When I am... It may be. I may be seriously, but don't call doctor. Chant Hare Kṛṣṇa. Don't be disturbed. Everyone has to die. Let us die peacefully, without doctor. All this medicine, injections, and prohibitions, this, that.
|Sex indulgence is not good; it is grossly material and we have to surpass it. But when one has staunch faith in Krsna, he'll be able to transcend the urge. Now you will be able to chastise your sex dictation. You are determined, so Krsna will help you.

On May 9, 2017, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit denied summary judgment in Ahmed v. Astoria Bank, where plaintiff Sherin Ahmed brought religion, race, and national origin discrimination claims against her former employer. The Second Circuit held that the district court had erred in concluding that Ahmed had not presented evidence of discrimination and harassment sufficient to meet the threshold for a hostile work environment claim under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 ("Title VII"). As such, the court vacated the lower court's granting of summary judgment, allowing the case to proceed to trial.
Ahmed, who is originally from Egypt and immigrated to the U.S. in 2001, is a practicing Muslim woman and wears a hijab as part of her religious observance. In 2013, Ahmed interviewed for a quality control analyst position at Astoria Bank, a Long Island City-based bank serving the New York metropolitan area, and was hired, conditional upon a 90-day probationary period. But, she alleges, Astoria Bank discriminated against her based on her race, religion, and national origin beginning as early as the day of her interview, when Anthony Figeroux, a Vice President at the bank, told her that she and two other Middle Eastern employees were "suspicious" and that he was glad he was "in the other side of the building in case you guys do anything."
The offensive comments and discriminatory treatment continued throughout Ahmed's employment; for example, Figeroux "constantly" told Ahmed to remove her hijab, which he referred to derisively as a "rag," and Ahmed's direct supervisor refused to allow her to take time off to observe a Muslim religious holiday. Astoria Bank abruptly terminated Ahmed's employment at the end of her 90-day probationary period, purportedly because of "poor performance," though her supervisors had never before raised any performance concerns to her. Ahmed complained to the bank that she believed the firing was discriminatory and, shortly afterward, filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York. Astoria Bank moved for summary judgment on all of Ahmed's claims, which the district court granted; Ahmed then appealed the dismissal of her Title VII hostile work environment claim to the Second Circuit.
In last week's decision, the Second Circuit disagreed with the district court's conclusion that the evidence did not rise to the "severe or pervasive" standard for a Title VII hostile work environment claim. Vacating and remanding the lower court's decision, the Second Circuit determined that Ahmed had shown sufficient evidence of discriminatory harassment for her hostile work environment claim to survive summary judgment. The court pointed to several specific pieces of admissible evidence, including Figeroux's repeated disparaging comments to Ahmed about her hijab and his discriminatory comments about Ahmed and other Middle Eastern employees during Ahmed's interview. In light of such evidence, the court held that a reasonable jury could "find that Ahmed was subjected to 'a steady barrage of opprobrious racial' and anti‐Muslim comments and conduct constituting a hostile work environment."
As the Second Circuit noted, quoting the district court, this case is "right on the knife's edge of either granting [summary judgment] or allowing [the case] to go to the jury." The Ahmed decision shows how important even just a few discriminatory comments can be in making or breaking a hostile work environment case. If your employer has discriminated against you based on your religion, race, national origin, or any other protected characteristic, contact The Harman Firm, LLP.

Hi Jennifer! I was happy to see that you posted my flash fiction contest! When I read the other contests you listed, I was even happier...and excited! I will probably enter one or two and especially liked the HEINZ contest idea and also the New Pages contest idea! Thanks so much!ReplyDeleteReplies

You're quite welcome.Delete
Thank you, Jen! Although I'm familiar with Chicken Soup for the Soul, I'd forgotten about New Pages. And I wasn't aware of the other ones. Thanks again!ReplyDeleteReplies
So happy to hear. Good luck!
I appreciate your scouring the markets and opportunities. Thanks, Jennifer! And happy Friday the 13th!ReplyDeleteReplies
It's my way of saying thanks to my readers and providing value for their time.
And I just noticed that Chicken Soup extended its deadline on the Christmas collection. I expect that this means that they are running short or that the quality of submissions received so far is poor. This is an opportunity for those with a story to tell.Delete
Thanks much, Victoria. :-)Delete
Thanks for the list of creative contests, while I once - among other things - won a little color tv with a writing contests from a patato chips company, I have been more frequently successful with other types of creative contests, for example with Photography - & Slogan Contests,ReplyDelete
So I don't think that I will do much actual writing contests, however I do find Flash Fiction interesting since it looks that it has some similarities with Screenwriting,
When looking at the list of contests I recently did participate in, it currently is mainly things like Slogan -, Photography -, and Greeting Card (Writing/designing) Competitions. For what Greeting Cards is concerned, I also recently actually published a blog post about some Innovations in the Greeting Card Market.Replies

Envoy is an innovative bank transfer service that allows you to make an international bank transfer at a fraction of the cost you would incur if you send it by an offline service. Envoy pulls this off by conducting each overseas transaction as if it were a local transaction. Let us say that I need to transfer funds from Australia to Gibraltar. What Envoy does is it sends funds on your behalf from Gibraltar and then debits the corresponding amount money to its accounts in Australia. It essentially acts as a go-between these two countries.
Not only does Envoy reduce the costs incurred when transferring money internationally, it also reduces the time. A regular cross-country bank transfer has to cross several international electronic check-posts before being authenticated. Because each international transaction is simulated as a local one, the time it takes to make a transfer is substantially reduced. The company currently puts two hundred payments services at your disposal. It also offers specialized corporate payment services for small to mid-sized companies. The people that benefit the most from Envoy's services, however, are Casino.com players who frequently use this payment method to withdraw or deposit money to and from their bank accounts. Envoy gives them a cheap way to carry out business with our casino client.

Kubica back on track
Robert Kubica will run a test of a HWA-Mercedes DTM car at Valencia next week, alongside the team's regular drivers - which includes McLaren test driver Gary Paffett. It will be the first track test for the former F1 race-winner since his horrific rally crash two years ago which injured his right arm and hand.
It has been a long road to recovery for the talented Polish driver, who's competitive outings so far have been limited to a number of rally races in 2012.
The HWA team is part-owned by Williams F1 CEO Toto Wolff, who has taken an interest in Kubica's recovery. If the test goes well, there is a good chance that Kubica will compete in the German DTM series this season, combining the programme with a number of rallies in the European Rally Championship.
Previously Kubica has said, "What I need to do now is to compete as often as possible, as this is the best way to continue my recovery. My goal is to be competing as often as possible, in whatever category I can find a seat and improve the mobility of my right arm. If, in the end, I'll be fit enough to return to Formula One, we'll have a go; if not, I'll continue racing in other categories."
If things go well, might we see a drive at Williams in Kubica's future?

Posted by Anuraj on Thursday, March 9, 2017 Reading time :3 minutes
Visual Studio 2017 Visual Studio Web Development
This post is about new features of Visual Studio 2017 for Web Developers. The new features inclues ASP.NET Core tooling, CSProj support, Migration option from project.json to csproj, client side debugging improvements etc.
As part of the release, Microsoft released the RTM version of ASP.NET Core Tooling. In VS 2017 the csproj tooling is enabled. ASP.NET Core is available in the Web and .NET Core sections of new projects. The ASP.NET Core project template screen has some changes, and still makes available the choice of three web templates: Empty, API, and Web Application.
In the new ASP.NET Core project dialog, you can choose the runtime, ASP.NET Core 1.0 or 1.1. Also you can choose Enable Container support for the projet, which will add DockerFile, for building container images, Docker Compose project to define how you instance your containers, and Multi-project/container debugging support for Containers.
In the Web Application template, both Package.json file and gulpfile.js is removed. Bower is enabled by default, which will deliver bootstrap, jQuery, and jQuery validation libraries and added to the wwwroot/lib folder by default. For bundling and minification, bundleconfig.json is added instead of gulp tasks.
With Visual Studio 2017 and .NET Core SDK 1.0, CSProj files are exclusively supported. Your existing project.json files will be migrated to csproj format, when you open the project in Visual Studio first time. You can use
dotnet migrate command to migrate the project.json to csproj. Visual Studio is also executing the same command to migrate the projects. You can edit the project file directly in Visual Studio, no need to unload and edit.
The new CSProj format is simpler, there is no GUIDs :)
In the project file now has the following features activated by default.
An "Sdk" attribute on the Project root-element that is set to "Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Web". This instructs the project system to manage this project with tooling to support an ASP.NET Core project that delivers a web endpoint with appropriate defaults.
A collection of "PackageReference" elements. These items are NuGet packages that should be installed and referenced by our project. The packages.config file is no longer needed. This is same as the dependencies in the project.json file.
A collection of "DotNetCliToolReference" elements. These items enhance the dotnet command-line tool to give it features necessary to build and manage this project. This is similar to the tools section in the project.json file.
It is a .NET Core tooling feature, than a Visual Studio 2017 feature. Now you can create Empty Web app, API app, MS Test and Solution file as part of dotnet new command.
Additionally, it is very easy to create your own templates or download other templates to use. Instructions for building your own templates are on the project templates wiki.
Right now Edge and Firefox is not supported.
Visual Studio 2017 helps developers to containerize ASP.NET applications as well. You can use the same commands to add Windows container support to your favorite ASP.NET Web Forms, MVC, or Web API projects easily. These applications will launch and run inside of a Windows container that is configured with IIS and the latest version of the .NET Framework.
You need to enable Container support if you're running Windows 10. Also make sure you have latest version of Docker for Windows is running and you have selected the Windows container option from Docker tray icon.
Happy Programming :)
What do you think? I would like to hear your thoughts, suggestions, and questions in the comments section below.

So this is another Winners Beauty Find Blog. Having watched xsparkage on YouTube for years now, I have always loved all of the pigments she uses. Especially the Naked Cosmetics pigment stacks she has been showing a lot lately. Naked Cosmetics are not readily available to me, and I'm not a fan of buying cosmetics online without being able to check them out in person first. While at Winners a few weeks ago I stumbled upon a new brand of makeup I have never seen there before, BellaPierre Cosmetics. They are a mineral makeup brand that promotes their products as multipurpose. All of their pigments can be used wet or dry, or you can mix them with a clear gloss or nail polish to create your own custom lip and nail colors. There were 7 different kits available, ranging from small 3 color sets to full face kits complete with foundation, blush and bronzer. I purchased the Bella 9 stack kit that also came with an eyeshadow base, eyeshadow and eyeliner brush, clear lip gloss, and an instructional DVD. The colors in this set are all varying neutral shades and extremely shimmery. Only the white and black colors look more matte. The eyeshadow base that comes in the kit is apparently supposed to make the pigments look matte and take away all glitter and shimmer. The lip gloss is vanilla scented, however I find it very sticky a quality I hate in lip glosses. Overall, I find this set an extremely good value compared to the price of these kits online. The website you can find these products at is www.bellapierre.com/shop/ and all prices are in US currency.
The All in one Bella Pierre 9-stack shimmer kit is $134.99
The Eyeshadow Base is $9.99
The lip gloss is $9.99
Eyeliner brush $12.99
Eyeshadow brush $19.99
And the 9-stack by itself is $89.99
Buying each of the kits contents separately will cost $142.95
So online when you by the kit you are saving $8.00
I paid $29.99 for the kit at Winners. If that isn't a deal I don't know what is.
You will see in the pictures below the colors that are included in this kit. Like I said this is a more neutral kit where as the other ones were more vibrant and pastel colors. The only color in this kit I can never see myself using as an eye color is the red. This is definitely a lip appropriate color that I want to try mixing with the lip gloss. I also want to try using this color in my next batch of homemade lip balm to give it a tinted color.
The Instructional DVD included in this kit is kind of useless. It only runs about 5 minutes and says that it will teach you how to use the products. It doesn't do that, all it does is tell you the different uses of the pigments, something you can read for yourself on the back of the box.
Eyeshadow Base
I would give this kit a 5/5 a definite must by at the $29.99 price. I do not think it is worth the online price at all. A good beginners set of mineral makeup.
Disclaimer - This product was bought by me with my own money. BellaPierre is not compensating me for this blog post and review. All opinions are honest and my own.

Paralysis or palsy (pôl'ze) , complete loss or impairment of the ability to use voluntary muscles, usually as the result of a disorder of the nervous system. The nervous tissue that is injured may be in the brain, the spinal cord, or in the muscles themselves. Accordingly there may be general paralysis, involvement of only one side (hemiplegia), paralysis on both sides at one level (paraplegia or quadriplegia), or localized paralysis in a small group of nerves or muscles.
The cause of paralysis may be any that tears or compresses the nerinjuryves; it may be hemorrhage, tumor, infection, or substances toxic to nerve tissue. One of the most frequent causes of paralysis is stroke, in which hemorrhage, thrombosis, or obstruction of a cerebral vessel interferes with nerve function. Another disorder in which a resting tremor is one of the main symptoms, accompanied by slowness and poverty of movement, muscular rigidity, and postural instability is Parkinson's disease. Cerebral palsy is due to an injury to the brain motor tissue before or during birth. However, this disorder is nonprogressive. Partial or complete paralysis often accompanies multiple sclerosis.
Homeopathic Remedies & Homeopathy Treatment for Paralysis
#Rhus toxicodendron. [Rhus-t]
Hahnemann commented on the power of Rhus in curing paralysis of the lower extremities, and here it has proved exceedingly useful. It is especially adapted to all forms of paralysis which are of a rheumatic origin or brought on by getting wet or exposure to dampness in any form. Also in paralysis caused by nervous fevers and typhus. There is much stiffness in the limbs, a dragging gait, and it suits particularly chronic cases, though it may be of great use in such forms as acute infantile paralysis. In this latter affection Sulphur should not be forgotten. Rhus vies with Causticum in paralysis of the muscles, eye and facial, from damp cold, especially in those of a rheumatic diathesis. Dulcamara is in many respects similar to Rhus. It has simple paralysis of the lower extremities, or a beginning paralysis worse from damp weather, or caused by lying on the damp ground. Not so suitable chronic cases. Cocculus has paralysis of the lower extremities from cold, recent cases with pain in the paralyzed part. Hysterical paralysis. Natrum muriaticum is also valuable in paralysis from cold.
#Causticum. [Caust]
This remedy also has paralysis from exposure to the cold of winter. Facial paralysis from exposure to dry cold weather. Cowperthwaite published a large number of cases of facial paralysis cured with Causticum 30, and its value in this affection seems established. It has also paralysis of single parts, face, tongue, pharynx, etc. In paralysis which is remote form apoplexy, the paralysis remaining after the patient has recovered otherwise, inability to select the proper word is an important indication. Other evidences of its paretic conditions are found in the aphonia and the weakness of the sphincter vesicae. It is also a great remedy in ptosis of rheumatic origin. Kalmia also has this, while the ptosis of Sepia is dependent on menstrual difficulties. Jahr lauds Causticum in paralysis. It is more apt to be right-sided. Baryta carbonica. There are more contractions and spasms under Causticum than Baryta, which causes paralysis by producing degeneration of the coats of the blood vessels. Bayes recommends Baryta in facial paralysis and also in paralysis of old people, and Hartmann says that glossal paralysis can scarcely ever be cured with Baryta. It also has paralysis after apoplexy; there is want of steadiness. Facial paralysis of young people where the tongue is implicated.
#Gelsemium. [Gels]
Complete motor paralysis, rather functional than organic in origin. It is one of our best remedies in post-diphtheritic and in infantile paralysis. Paralysis of the ocular muscles, ptosis; the speech is thick from paretic conditions of the tongue. Paralysis from emotions. Aphonia, paralysis of the larynx. Conium has paralysis of central region; the sensation is little involved , and the tendency of the paralysis is to move from below upwards. Acute ascending paralysis. Paralysis of the aged. Argentum nitricum. Post-diphtheritic paralysis; also paraplegia. Nux vomica. Paralysis of the lower extremities, contractive sensations and heaviness in the limbs. Paralysis of the bladder in old men.
Hempel, who used Aconite for all ailments claimed that it was the sovereign remedy for almost every species of paralysis, and its symptoms are certainly indicative of the truth of his assertion. It has the well-known numbness and tingling. Facial paralysis accompanied with coldness from exposure to dry, cold winds, especially in acute cases, well indicate the remedy. Paraplegia with tingling. Rhus, Sulphur and Causticum have paralysis from cold. Cannabis Indica and Staphisagria have tingling.
#Plumbum. [Plum]
Paralysis, with atrophy, is the watchword of Plumbum. Wrist drop, paralysis of the extensors. Paralysis due to sclerosis or fatty degeneration. Paralysis with contractions. Bayes states that he has not seen any beneficial results from Plumbum in paralysis of the lower extremities,and it does seem to affect the upper extremity more than the lower. Ptosis, heavy tongue, constipation, paralysis after apoplexy, with pale, dry cold skin. Tremor followed by Paralysis. Paralysis agitans. The mercurial tremor resembles this affection, and hence Mercurius should be a remedy for paralysis agitans; Plumbum, Atropine sulphate, Zincum and Hyoscyamus are the principal remedies in this affection. The paralysis of Plumbum is probably of spinal origin. Cuprum is quite similar to Plumbum in many paralytic conditions; it seems, however, to have more cramping.
#Phosphorus [Phos]
has also proved useful in paralysis from fatty degeneration of the nerve cells, and in such cases the symptoms will point to it. Progressive spinal paralysis calls for the remedy. Alumina has paralysis of the lower extremities, especially of spinal origin. The legs are so heavy that the patient can scarcely drag them; weariness even while sitting. Dr. Arnulphy thinks Phosphorus homoeopathic to all forms of paralysis due to degenerative processes and especially when resulting from a drain on the sexual system. Functional paralysis from fatigue.

There is an old saying that goes "A bad workman blames his tools" but that was coined years ago when a blacksmith basically had a hammer and an anvil, which was hard to get wrong. Some modern tools are quite sophisticated and can indeed make the difference between a good and bad job. The prime example must be the MIG welder. We hear a lot of people say "I've tried. but I just can't do it so I had to hire someone". Even worse are those that just do a bad job and paint over it. Fact is, a cheap welder usually has two settings, which equate to 'blow holes in my panel' or 'lay a caterpillar bead on top of my steel'. Those machines will be fine for a 1/8" thick piece of angle iron but do not have the finite adjustment needed to weld automotive panels, especially the varying types you get. Classic Italian panels can be quite thin, for instance. An MGB from the 1960's will weld a lot differently to one from the 1970's (lower quality steel) and modern cars often have thinner steel (for lightness) but compensate by making it higher grade.
Frankly, with a cheap welder you don't stand a chance. We've all been there though, so once you've blown the upteenth hole in your panel or run a surface bead so thick you spend two hours grinding it flat, make your replacement machine one of these. The voltage and current are fully variable, so you can go thinner than you'll ever need. Steel housing, DIN torch, even a button to feed the new reel of wire without venting gas. The machine even continues the gas supply for a couple of seconds after you release the trigger to shield the weld during cooling. You just have to add a regulator and a bottle of gas, we add the clips etc you need to the package. You'll be amazed how quickly you are making the sound of crackling bacon with the MIG170 and just to soften the investment, it utilises the latest Inverter technology so it can run off a standard 13amp socket and uses much less power to achieve a weld than those cheap plastic and tin boxes from you know where.
Comes with an ARC torch for heavy duty stuff and you can add a TIG torch (available seperately) for TIG welding, but sadly not aluminium with this machine. Hey, it can't do everything! Full size interchangeable torch, full size wire drive, accepts full size reels too.
This machine is the one recommended by famous Classic Vehicle restoration wrtier and engineer, Lindsay Porter.

Entrepreneur Elon Musk's vision for mass produced, affordable electric vehicles has driven Tesla Motors to build the Gigafactory outside of Reno, Nevada. This approximately $5 billion factory is designed to manufacture the batteries needed to support mass produced electric vehicles. In order to realize this vision, plastics will be used throughout the factory both in the batteries and the machines used to produce them.
Battery Separators
Lithium batteries are at the heart of Tesla's electric vehicles and at the crux of the Gigafactory's purpose for being. The facility is designed to produce a complete production cell, which includes the use of separators. According to Plastic News, separators are pieces of thermoplastic film that are a part of all modern batteries. These thin strips of plastic separate anodes and cathodes, enabling electric batteries to function efficiently, even though they are small and out of sight.
Autonomous Indoor Vehicles
One of the most fascinating elements of the Gigafactory is its high level of automation and use of autonomous indoor vehicles. For example, self-navigating AIVs can move raw materials and finished goods inventory throughout the factory, using plastic bins and containers attached to their top surfaces. The indoor vehicles vary in shape, size and purpose, which underlines the importance of robots in modern manufacturing facilities. Many of the inner workings of AIVs are also made of plastics, further adding to the importance of the material in the production of electric batteries.
Battery Assembly Robots
The robots that assemble the lithium batteries are complex, utilizing a blend of computer technology, metal components and plastic parts to function. Whether its plastic tubing for various operating fluids or casings for computer hardware, plastics are a major influence on the battery assembly process. The scope and complexity of the machines at the Gigafactory is hard to verbalize and is a showcase in technological advancement. In many of the pictures from the facility, plastics can be seen serving a supporting role in the functionality of robots.
Renewable Energy
True to Tesla's innovative style, the Gigafactory is going to be run in part utilizing renewable energy generated from solar panels on the factory's roof. Plastic can be used to create polymer solar cells, and is a material used throughout the construction of solar panels. Plastic is also used in the turbines that generate the electricity from the solar energy. The net result being that plastic will play an integral role in the powering of the factory. The exact role it will play depends on the type of solar panels installed.
Plastic components are critical to many developing technologies. Craftech supplies the communications, semi-conductor, robotic, medical and energy industries with plastic fasteners and custom components.

USA Hockey is used to receiving gold medals for winning games.
Yesterday the organization grabbed the award for an off-ice
achievement: First place in the first annual Brain Fitness Innovation Awards.
Presented by SharpBrains, the 10 finalists demonstrated a commitment to brain fitness through their "results-oriented, scalable initiatives." A panel of 16 judges made up of researchers and corporate executives judged the Hockey IntelliGym
program the best, calling IntelliGym a "personalized program that gives
very specialized feedback to players and allows them to improve their
skills." The judges were also impressed that the Under-18 and Under-17
USA Hockey National Teams reported they have seen improved play since
using the IntelliGym.
Co-developed by USA Hockey (ice
hockey's national governing body) and Applied Cognitive Engineering
(ACE), the Hockey IntelliGym may look like a videogame but serves as a
cognitive training device. Danny Dankner, CEO of ACE, wrote in an
e-mail that the IntelliGym helps players with perception, short-term
memory focus, and decision-making, brain skills necessary for on-ice
"The system also develops skills like
anticipation, attention control, working memory (particularly in the
context of covered areas), planning, and pattern recognition," he
wrote. "The tasks embedded in the training system stimulate a similar
skill-set, only in a more intense workload (and thus this technology is
dubbed 'Cognitive Simulation'). The player is presented with a
video-game-like scenario, where spaceships serve as the contextual
representation of the objects in the real environment."
also noted that ACE chose to develop products for athletes (they also
make the Basketball IntelliGym) because athletes want to outperform
competitors, and by using the product they'll be able to see tangible
"When you talk to hockey experts, a lot of people
believed you either have (hockey sense) or you don't," said Ken Martel
during a conference call yesterday. Martel is the director of the
American Development Model, a USA Hockey initiative focusing on
age-appropriate training and long-term athlete development. "The really
fascinating thing for us is we firmly believed we could teach this. We
were looking for ways to make our players smarter on the rink—allow
them to make better decision. We were extremely excited with the
results (of the IntelliGym)."
With the help of ACE, USA
Hockey is helping to disprove the myth that "game IQ" is an innate
characteristic that can't be enhanced. As Dankner wrote, "Just like
lifting weights or working out your aerobic fitness, cognitive
performance can also be dramatically improved if only addressed by the
right 'fitness room.'"
The Hockey IntelliGym will be available to the public in October.

Oceanside Fire Commissioner Biagio Rosano is running unopposed in his re-election bid to serve an additional five-year term on Oceanside Fire District's five-member Board of Commissioners. He will be the only commissioner on the ballot for the Dec. 12 elections.
Rosano has been a commissioner since 2012 and, he said, a lot has changed since then. "We've done repairs to a lot of the buildings, gotten grants to re-do some of the bathrooms," and he added that the district is in the midst of testing a new strategy to keep its vehicles in service longer to save money.
"Instead of purchasing trucks," Rosano said, "we're trying to save up the money to refurbish them." The effort, he said, could potentially extend the lifespan of the vehicles by up to five years. Each new truck costs between $500,000 and $600,000, while repairs cost about $85,000. "This year is the first time we're doing that," Rosano said.
He also said that the refurbishing strategy was part of a broader belt-tightening effort needed to keep up with rising expenses such as utilities and workman's compensation. "We're trying to reposition ourselves to pay those expenses without raising taxes," he said.
He also said that he was excited about the new "burn building" under construction in Oceanside. "There's an academy in Bethpage," he said, where Oceanside firefighters can go to practice their skills. But they are only allowed to attend once a year. With the new burn building, he said, "[the firefighters] can train all year round."
In terms of recruitment, Rosano has some ideas. "We do a lot of training at the schools," he said, "so we can teach the kids what to do in an emergency. We get our name out there in the high school like that." The problem, he said, wasn't getting the kids to sign up, but to stay on, especially the young high school recruits who go off to college.
It would be helpful, he said, "if the states passed a law so that students who volunteered their time in the fire district could have their student loans partially forgiven." He noted that volunteers are already able to attend Nassau County Community College for free.
Rosano said that he is looking forward to staying on as a commissioner, and referred to his fellow board members as "a good group of guys with very diverse backgrounds." He added, "It's a great team, and we communicate well."

Pac-Man. A classic arcade character that looks like a cheese pizza with a slice missing, who floats around eating pellets and avoids ghosts. Of course such a thing makes for a marvelous and addicting game but movie? Well, if there was any doubt of the potential in such in idea the naysayers can all just take it up the pooper.
Director Patrick Brady and Allyson Schettino, along with the rest of the Therefore You production took the Pac-Man premise and gave it a twist. In their fan-made, two minute trailer of the proposed PACMAN: The Movie they give our yellow friend the "Saw" treatment. In their version of Pacman a "Pharmaceutical CEO is forced to take his own dangerous medications in order to survive a maze designed by a sadistic patient out for revenge". The two minute trailer is as creepy/haunting as it is well done. The concept is clever and totally takes Pac-Man to a new level of awesome. Though, the crew only intended to satire Hollywood's love for taking video games with barely any plot and turning them into bad feature films they've accidentally made one of the greatest fan films ever. (that is arguable but still, it's pretty fucking good).
PACMAN: THE MOVIE TRAILER from Therefore Productions on Vimeo.
Note: the faux movie release date at the end of the trailer implies that this video might be a few years old but as far as we now it's not. This was uploaded today on Thereforeproduction site.
