Individualism is increasingly becoming the driving force in shaping our society. Today it's no longer about rebuilding ruined cities hand in hand after the war, our minds are primarily occupied with creating something of our own, something separate from others.
For example to gain as many likes as possible in a virtual world. Game time. Of course this does not apply to each and everyone of us but in general, in our society, this trend prevails. Thanks to the Internet, Western wealth and stability, the individual person is increasingly coming to the force and community is not necessarily stepping into the background but is changing because of that.
This is not bad at all, quite the contrary. The more we focus on ourselves, the more we are able to find the right building blocks to contribute effectively to shaping a good society. A key role in this plays our ego.
Since individualism can lead to ego and power games on the way to a good society, which rather confuse than enrich, an individual, appropriate way of dealing with our ego is important.
Between ego tantrums and ego intimidation, astrology offers personal advice for this appropriate handling.
To even think about about these things or decide to study astrology is most definitely the fault of a six year period abroad. Over there I slowly but surely said goodbye to everything I knew about myself or to who I thought I was. This may sound slightly spiritual yet you know what I mean when you look at your own identity from a further perspective. We know that we get specific identity building blocks with us from home, our friends, our country, our culture, yet you only really see this clearly when you radically say goodbye to it all. Some do this on the weekend, others decide to spend more time saying goodbye and find themselves again in it.
Particularly beneficial for this as in my case are longer stays abroad. Far away from everyday routine, deadlocked friendships and afterwork rituals, foreign countries provide a completely new perspective on your own life. This usually is the very reason we go abroad, to gain distance from the daily routines of life. The longer we spend abroad, the further the distance to our daily lives and to ourselves becomes. Therefore traveling is a great way to shake off our home identity for a while and even lose our ego.
Two extremes I'd like to talk about concerning the combination of ego and traveling are party tourists on the one hand and yoga tourists on the other. Party tourists throw their identity out of the window and drink to their loss of identity and control, yoga tourists move away from their identity through asanas, breathing and meditation. Both ways lead to the same goal; you lay down your shell for a while. Whether one method is healthier than the other can certainly be answered, but why is it that we feel the need to discard our identity? Is it because our identity is so heavy and pulls us down? Is it because it's bad to have an ego and we'd better stay arm in arm with all drinking buddies forever and take all fellow yogis into our hearts? Would that be a perfect, ideal world, a good society? Are we bad people when we have an ego? Why do we want to get rid of our identity and our ego? Because it's bad to have one?
I think the ego's supposedly bad reputation is very widespread. Our society associates the ego with avaricious, self-righteous behavior that merely aims to achieve personal benefits regardless of the consequences. But is the ego really such a bad boy? And can you actually get rid of it once and for all? Do you then live a better life and contribute to a better society?
Today I know that you need an ego to function as an individual and to be a working part of a functioning society. However the extended period of time I spent abroad gradually convinced me that I will be a better and happier person if I drop my ego.
Especially because of the close contact with nature, learning how to surf and a relationship that above all demanded submission from me and thus left no room for a functioning ego, caused me to distance myself more and more from my ego. Sure sometimes it came out and wanted to throw its weight around with a shortboard but in the end, with each sunset just as the sun, my ego dissolved in the sea. At some point I didn't really know who I was anymore. This may sound odd but I didn't really feel the need to be anyone anymore. Life felt so much better with no defined identity, direction, commitment, job or studies. I floated like a bird in the cosmos and it felt great. At least until my flight ended.
Prior to my crash landing however I still managed to reach the absolute highlight of my ego loss journey for which I am thankful to this day.
I went after a collective dream and was rewarded with an individual insight. Hollywood called my name and I responded with a plane ticket from Bali to California to the American dream. Obvious victim to too many Hollywood movies, I thought I could make my dream as a dancer in LA come true. I felt ridiculously inspired without an old identity and found myself in a kind of identityless in-between state that allowed me to avoid self-doubt. I no longer saw myself as a definite, limited person, but rather as a part of something greater. And as a part of that I thought the world was just waiting for me.
Instead of waiting it turned out that the world was already light years ahead. I saw the reality of the dancers in America and quickly felt out of place. Even though I looked for all dance studios in North Hollywood, visited them and took lessons, I quickly realized that it wasn't such a great idea to leave my healthy self-doubt at home. It was hard to keep up and the curiosity and excitement that brought me to America quickly turned into frustration and disappointment. I realized that here I didn't find what dancing meant to me, which is self-expression and joy. So I had to look somewhere else.
At the absolutely right time yoga came crawling out of its hiding place and I turned away from dancing to devote myself to this 'sport'. Previously in Bali I had already attended a lesson, now in LA I signed up for a beginner's intensive course.
We were a small group of four people who decided to get to know the trend sport from the ground up in a very relaxed circle. Before we jumped into any poses, we discussed the philosophy of yoga. The atmosphere was very pleasant and authentic. After the hectic, competitive dancing, it was the first time I really felt like I had arrived in California.
Alone in America, driven by the idea to live a dream, the essence of yoga spoke to me directly. I was curious, open and hungry for life and new knowledge. The course fulfilled me to the degree that I had hoped for in dancing.
As luck would have it, one day I was the only person who came to the course. The course was taught in the so-called Mysore style which meant that we practiced alone, our teacher watched and then corrected us. Since no one else was there this time I was meant to go through the poses all alone. Instead of watching me to correct my poses, my teacher grabbed a small booklet, swung into a for me impossible cross-legged position and started reading from it.
So I did my yoga flow and my teacher talked to me the whole time, in a language I didn't understand. Sanskrit. At first it was completely awkward and I felt so strange but the more I just concentrated on my breath and my poses the faster I managed to blank out the weird situation. Not only that, my breath began to move into a rhythm with the words of the foreign language.
I spent about half an hour breathing, posing and half listening. I didn't understand the words that blurred into a melody but the less I listened, the more another part of me consciously perceived the words.
The mixture of strangeness, my own breath, the depth of words that my mind didn't understand but another level of me and the energy of my teacher brought me into a very different state. It was as if I understood something before my mind had a chance to grasp it.
When my lesson was over I walked to the bathroom feeling dazed. There in the mirror I caught a glimpse of my reflection and couldn't help but to take a longer look. I looked in the mirror and as I stared a little closer, my reflection began to change. I saw myself twice and slightly distorted. I looked more closely, looked deeper into my eyes and everything blurred. My reflection began to change kaleidoscopically. It was like being under the influence of drugs. It was more than strange but also so interesting that I didn't want to stop staring at myself. I tried to understand what I saw and at that moment I understood something absolutely essential to me to this day. That was the moment I realized that there was so much more underneath my body than I'm able to see from day to day. Not only did I realize that I was more than a body I actually saw it in the mirror right in front of me.
I experienced transcendence. I'm not saying this for you to admire my spirituality but rather to point out that each one of us has already made such experiences.
Whether it happens at a sunset, looking into the eyes of a loved one, on a day that offers too many coincidences to just be any normal day, when the first snow falls, when you and other people achieve something together, whenever - experiences in which the world is strangely quiet and you feel like something greater than just a body, more or less like a part of God in France, is really not so uncommon.
This experience personally filled my heart with so much joy that I could hardly believe it. The perspective on my own life changed abruptly. Before that I had already made some experiences leading me into this direction but never before was it so crystal clear and, above all, visible, in my own reflection. I knew it was a small, insignificant experience in the bustle of life so I was all the more aware that I wanted to hold onto it.
I knew it would be very easy to forget about such experiences or at least not label them as special. But I did not want that. I knew that I had encountered something that had been missing in my life so far and I didn't want to lose it again under any circumstances. I wanted to bring this transcendent experience into my reality. I wanted to hold onto it and not lose it. I wanted to always take it seriously, I didn't want it to be taken away from me and I wanted to live my life accordingly to it. It was logically then for me to tattoo my face.
When I came back to Germany with a fresh facial tattoo less people were thrilled. It was so hard for me to keep up with what I had experienced and to keep it in positive memory. I felt very misunderstood and had a difficult time coping with it. That's why, as soon as I filled my travel fund, I flew back to Bali. I couldn't really face my home, more specifically, I didn't know which person I was at home.
On one hand I had an urgent need to be part of society, to fit into the reality of Germany, on the other hand I had absolutely no clue how. It was a dilemma for me because what brought me so much joy and set free such truth in me, in my eyes wasn't feasible in a German context. If I think about it today my heart still feels quite heavy.
Although I had some difficulties during and after my experience abroad I'm glad that I've experienced all ups and downs. By having the time and the opportunity to put off my ego and identity for a longer period of time I've achieved something of immense importance for myself. I'm happy that I've experienced things that made me let go of my ego because with a solid identity I would have never gone to America alone, just to pursue a dream, and would have never reached a milestone in my personal development. Letting go of my ego and identity has made me a stronger person. Therefore I completely agree with the winning strategy of world renown boxing coach Martin Snow:
"Whatever identity you have, whoever you were or whoever you thought you were has to die because if that person walks into the ring, they will not walk out of the ring. When I step into the ring, I don't know who I am. I literally don't know who I am. All I see is a guy over there who wants to take my head off and all I can focus on is attack. That's all. I have no ego."
Yes, I think you can achieve great things by dropping your ego and identity, yet I think this only works temporarily. Even if life sometimes feels like a boxing ring, a boxing ring is not real life. Real life demands identity and a functioning ego.
To use the words of astrologer Steven Forrest:
"Every human being is a web of conflicting emotions. We are plagued by memories and hunches, lured by dream scenarios. We love. We fear. We create. We know about the tragedies of life. If a traffic cop stops us because we drove fifty in a tempo thirty zone he doesn't ask us to tell him all this. To be effective in the world we need to simplify ourselves. We need to express the richness of the psyche 'streamlined' and concise.
This form may only be a pale reflection of what we really are, but we have no choice. Although it may seem two-dimensional compared to our true nature, life requires that we have a personality and personality is always the role we play not what we really are. Personality is always a mask."
Most people are probably aware of this and hardly waste any thoughts on it but when I read these words for the first time I experienced a huge aha moment.
On one hand, the scales fell from my eyes realizing that it's not possible, or has to be possible always, to wear one's innermost and greatest transcendental experiences on the sleeve and on the other hand that you even have to wear a mask. That this is not considered cowardly and falsely, arrogantly or aggressively really knocked me out of my socks. To be honest it was a great relief because I was almost ready to rather be no one and somehow manage my way through life than having to pretend to be someone who I wasn't truly on the inside.
I'd rather be nowhere than in the wrong place.

By now I clearly see that this thinking lacks balance. I understand that I don't always have to be understood. That in the end nobody really understands you anyway. Everything one says is filtered and understood by the listener through his or her own experiences. So in specific terms, no one really understands you correctly. In addition, it's not possible to explain something so deep to each person and demand for it to be understood. I think finding something like this is something special and reserved only for the best friendships and strongest connections. Of course, I wasn't aware of this because the experience shook me to my core and I felt it was so essential that I wanted to share it with every human being and wanted everyone to experience it as well.
Today I'm slightly more relaxed. Of course, it's still a matter of heart for me that people come closer to it but I know that such experiences are not the only important thing in life, and above all that life doesn't work that way.
Life, our society, works thanks to our ability to express our essence in public succinctly, so that we are an effective part of the whole and thus the whole works.
But what if we allow ourselves more time to decide which ego we want to take on?
What if we realize that we have a choice? If we realize that we are not victims of our past but are always able to choose who we want to be? That an ego is nothing stuck, given by birth, heavy, bad but rather something valuable and essential to our survival which is up to us to form and create?
What if the ego is our chance and ability to express our innermost selves? What if an ego is solely made for this purpose? Shouldn't we then be much more interested in getting to know our innermost selves rather than polishing a false mask?
Yes, it's absolutely not easy but what if we know we have the opportunity? If we all realize how important an ego is for our society in total and if we all realize, above all, that it is a path to the right ego, a process that takes time? When we realize that an ego has nothing to do with big watches, red Trump heads or a lot of money but with self-knowledge, self-esteem, courage and beauty? Wouldn't we then be more willing to let go of false masks or stop hiding ineffectively behind masks that are too small anyway?
Wouldn't that be much better than pretending we always had everything under control when in the public eye, and would we therefore also stop expecting this from others? Wouldn't that put less pressure on us and give us more time and freedom to go and find our true selves before accepting any mask?
Wouldn't we then move away from a consumerist society to an advanced society that realizes that it makes no sense to buy things before we even know our true dimensions?
Wouldn't we experience more fun, material satisfaction and fulfillment and at the same time spare the planet?
Yes, we have to function, but I think we should spend more time functioning properly. I think that, not only will we function better ourselves, but also our entire society. People with the right ego present the suitable building blocks for an effective and holistically functioning society. Searching for solutions to the problems of our society in the outside world is, as we are beginning to notice more and more clearly, not sustainable enough. But what if the solutions to the problems of our society are not outside of us, but in the complexity of each and every one of us who has managed to channel that individual complexity into an appropriate ego and that way is able to make a purposeful and valuable contribution to our society? Doesn't it then make more sense than ever to see our ego as something precious for its creation we should take our time?
I assume it took Darth Vader quite a long time to decide on his getup since he had to impress and influence not only a city but an entire galaxy.
Transitioning to the stars, astrology offers black-on-white insights on this complex topic which are easy to read. How, I will explain below.
In astrology the so-called ascendant provides information about our ego.
Let's see what Steven Forrest has to say:
"The ascendant represents the mask, the social identity we hide behind and through which we express the rest of the horoscope."
To illustrate this let's take a look at my birth chart.
First of all we have to find the ascendant and look up in which zodiac sign it is. The ascendant is in the center left of each horoscope. In my case the ascendant is in the zodiac sign Leo.
We then go on and find out what kind of meaning an ascendant in Leo has:
(Hajo Banzhaf, Anna Haebler—Keywords for astrology)
[It goes without saying that the horoscope is always holistic. The above statements about the Leo ascendant thus apply only conditionally, in relation to the entire horoscope. Furthermore it should be noted that a horoscope does not necessarily make statements about how a person really is. On the contrary, it shows how a person could optimally develop according to his or her abilities and assets.]
As Steven Forrest mentioned before, the ascendant is the social identity we hide behind and through which we express the rest of the horoscope. Another important part in this plays the so-called ruler of the ascendant.
Steven Forrest says:
"The ruler of the ascendant takes this centering process a step further. Imagine it as the ascendant's ambassador which has been transferred to another part of the horoscope, but still acts in its service. Wherever the ruler of the ascendant may be, its activity plays a pivotal role in developing the sense of being an independent, contrasting personality. The planet helps to define oneself . "
As we've already found out, my ascendant is in the zodiac sign Leo. Now let's see which planet rules the zodiac sign Leo.
We see that the sign Leo is ruled by the Sun:
We now also see in my birth chart that the planet Sun in my case is in the zodiac sign of Cancer in the 11th house.
So what does all of that mean?
It means that I most feel like an independent, contrasting person of my own when I wear a Leo mask to express themes of the 11th House in the style of Cancer.
To get to the specifics of this, we need to know which themes are being presented by the 11th house and with what kind of energy the zodiac sign Cancer in my case affects the 11th house.
(Hajo Banzhaf, Anna Haebler—Keywords for astrology)
And the 11th house:
(Hajo Banzhaf, Anna Haebler—Keywords for astrology)
The fact that my ascendant (AC for short) is in Leo and its ruler, the Sun, is in the 11th house in the zodiac sign of Cancer, means that I feel most like a distinguished personality when I confidently express (Leo) humanitarian goals (11th house) in an emotional way (Cancer).
I leave this sentence so simple to make the principle of this procedure as clear as possible.
Even if the sentence sounds a bit odd I wouldn't mind being defined by the world in this way. Much more than that I would feel understood. That's the ego I feel in tune with, one my innermost self feels content with and no need to add or explain anything.
[Since other planets, to be exact, Venus, Mars and Jupiter are at my ascendant, they also have an impact on my ego. So if there are planets directly at your ascendant, their influence can not be ignored and it's worth getting to know the energies of the affected planets.]
To find your own ascendant you need to have your birth details ready: date of birth, birth time and place of birth.
Having your birth chart at hand you have your ascendant and are also able to see in which house and zodiac sign your ascendant's ruler stands. Connecting the info as I've explained above will provide you with the necessary information about your ego. *
Here you can create your own birth chart:
* Keep in mind though that a horoscope needs to be looked at holistically. Although you might find out information about your ego, do not take everything literally. The rest of your horoscope most definitely plays a great part in defining your ego. Humans are complex creatures after all.

thanks for an awesome site
Dear South East Asia & co,
This was never going to be easy and I need you to know…
It's not you, it's me.
Well, maybe it is a little you. You've changed me somehow. I can't believe it was eighteen months ago you welcomed me with such open arms. We both knew though our affair was never meant to last this long, right? I mean, I cheated on Australia for you, I broke up with the UK for you and now the time has come for me to say the inevitable.
It's over.
I know we have had time apart before, but I always had a ticket promise to come back to you. Tomorrow will be different. I have no ticket, no plans and no intention to see you again for a long time. Though it came around naturally, I am not so secretly glad. I need to dump you, let me try and explain why…
I'll cherish the beautiful gifts you showered on me. The waterfalls of Laos, wow they were something special. The breathtaking scenery of Indonesia, I loved the way you saved the best till last. The surprises of Singapore that just kept coming, how did I not know you had islands of wildlife hidden up your sleeve? Those sunrises in Bagan, fuck me, you nailed those and that water in the Maldives… I thought everyone had been teasing me but like always, you came up trumps. The people of Cambodia and Sri Lanka, their warmth will never let me go cold.
I'll hold dear all the delicious and dirt cheap street food you served up sat on the floor. Yes, even the shits and illness that came with it have a special place in my memory. The animal abuse you seem so keen on, thank you for enlightening me to it so I can try to make a difference. The trash that burns freely and chokes my lungs, it weighs me down not with complaints but concerns. I want you to be healthier, I want you to be comfortable but I know the cycle and habit aren't that easy to break.
Though it broke my heart seeing the aftermath of war in Vietnam first hand, or trying to support families whose children had passed on from a lack of water. Fucking water. Before you welcomed me with such smiles I couldn't comprehend the reality of the world beyond my country, my life, the small box I lived in. It hurts me and troubles me but it broadened my mind, it made me passionately want to make a change. It made me realise I had no right to ever feel like I was missing out on something.
I'm sorry for the times I upset you. I'm sorry for the others on the same journey as me that came into your life, took so much and abandoned you pissed and tanned and not giving a fuck. I am glad I embraced your cultures but I also learnt that actually, I don't have to respect and praise them from afar. I will always try to behave around you, but once I leave I know it's ok to tear you apart if my heart so chooses.
I can't believe how intimate we got. How many languages we attempted to converse in and how many hand signals you know. How many strangers you made me share beds with on night busses. Thank you for sharing your spirituality and religions with me, for letting me into your temples and places of worship and allowing me to photograph it. It's funny, sometimes now I look back on those very moments and wonder – Should I have ever been there? Was that your private place? Did I have any right to poke around like a nut job ex-reading your text messages?
You have left me with questions, with purpose and passion. I'll leave with a heavy mind debating Tourism as a whole. You have given me so much more than I have given you. You taught me a career and you taught me who I am.
So please believe me. It really is not you, it truly is all me.
Whilst you were working your magic and investing so much, I was growing inside. I was discovering through your eyes the world and my place in it. I was making mistakes on your time so I could learn and grow from them.
Though one day I'll be back, for now, this is it. I won't lie and say you are perfect the way you are, I want you to change and grow. And, I think you know you need to.
I know a lot of people who have walked away from you before saying, 'Don't change, don't be ruined, I hope in ten years you are still the same'.
But I don't want that. Because really that is selfish. Ultimately, that is for my own benefit. I don't want to deny you better health care, better sanitation and better facilities. I don't begrudge you for wanting a better life for you and your family. I get that you want to increase your wealth so that you can prosper in the same way the privileged world I am returning to does. I know that will come with change, with greater costs for me to visit and with the development of all those perfect beaches and destinations I kid myself are just for my entertainment. Hell, I'll miss paying my 'White Tax'.
I will ask you, though, please, to stay true to your beliefs whilst you grow. Don't let greed cause damage at the expense of your home, don't do it by causing pain to others. I'll try to help, I'll try to live more sustainably and not support the companies I have seen make your children work all day and night for the most measly of sums. You have left a mark on me which makes me want to support those you have introduced me to for years to come.
Sadly, I think there came a point when I stopped loving you in the same way as I did before. I'm not sure when it was but I know it happened. Your temples started to bore me, the excitement I used to get from sleeping on a strangers floor slipped away and the intense feeling of getting on another flight has faded. I don't want to sound ungrateful but I don't want to lie. I'm calling time out.
I need a little slice of normal (whatever that is) or at least the space to work it out. I need to commit to a job, not a continent. My bank accounts are screaming at me louder than your horns in New Delhi and although you are affordable compared to my home country, I don't travel here because it's cheap, I travel here because I love it.
My love for you will always be there, even though I can't feel it as strong right now. I just don't know what to make of you anymore. I don't know how you affect me in this way that only you do, both good and bad. I don't know if I feel guilty or great when I am in your lands anymore.
I guess I just need time to digest everything you have given me. I truly thank you for all the life lessons you have shared.
Like all great love stories, though, there has to be an ending.
And this is ours.
Yours faithfully,

Man struck with hammer during armed robbery in Ingleburn
A man has been struck in the head with a hammer during an armed robbery attempt in Ingleburn early Saturday morning.
The 25-year-old shop attendant walked outside of the petrol station on Lagonda Drive to get a jumper out of his car about 5.20am on Saturday, March 9.
The man noticed two people on a dirt bike pull up outside the doors of the shop, one holding a dark coloured object.
The worker believed he was about to get robbed, so he got into his car and started the engine.
One of the alleged offenders ran over to him and smashed the driver's side window with a hammer, before using it to strike him in the head several times.
He managed to drive off to another petrol station on Oxford Road and called 000.
Meanwhile, the two people from the bike forced entry to the petrol station on Lagonda Drive and made off with cash and cigarettes.
The shop attendant was taken to Campbelltown Hospital with non-life threatening head injuries.

Jennie Finch is coming back to Monroe. The Olympic softball star held a very successful camp at the Monroe YMCA last winter.
Jennie Finch is coming back to Monroe.
The Olympic softball star held a very successful camp at the Monroe YMCA last winter.
The camp will move to new date and venue this year.
Finch and four other Olympians will conduct the camp Sept. 22-23 in the Glen Stock Arena at the Monroe County Fairgrounds.
?We?re really excited,? said Larry Thiede, the local organizer of the event. ?It really opens it up. What?s nice about it is that they will allow people to come and watch if they are not participating. They have bleachers there in the arena.?
The camp at the YMCA was limited by space to 370 players. Thiede said the cutoff is 400 this year.
?We had rave reviews about the camp last time and about how well organized it was,? Thiede said. ?The Finch staff was very impressed with how it came together.?
Even though the camp is still several months away, Thiede said it is important for any girls wanting to participate to register early.
?I don?t want the Monroe kids to get shut out,? he said. ?We have over 100 already and we?re not even close to the camp.?
There also will be a Dinner of Champions for Finch and the other Olympians at Monroe Missionary Baptist Church on the night of Sept. 22.

Yes, I know, I do live in a 3rd world country, but we all have common sense and logic one would argue – no matter where! In Manila it is called: creativity.
I live in a pretty nice area and in a good building. 'Condominium', as they call it here. A building with service, guards, pools, tennis court, garden, and lots more you would want to do, but just don't have time for. Good thing about a building like this, is that all is standardized, so it would be easy for the maintenance to fix things.
Nevertheless, upon the time when entering the apartment, I found myself with leaking taps. Happens over time of course. Rubbers get old! As being in the position of having maintenance, I asked them to fix it (have the experts do it). The guy (expert) walks in, and indeed concludes the tap is leaking! So far so good, as I already told them in advance my tap was leaking, so we at least agree on this. "Be right back, need to get my tools". Ok, makes sense, who wants to walk around with a toolbox anyway?! Unless… You are maintenance maybe!? The expert gets back and opens the tap, as curious I was, I wanted to see how bad the rubber ring was… And believe me, it was pretty bad: there was no rubber ring! THAT EXPLAINS! Ok, let's get the rubber ring in and done! Oh wait, expert needs to check for a solution (rubber ring I suppose), he will be right back.
Finally, after 2 hours he gets back (lunch time in between). He brought some tape… a lot of tape I should say. No rubbers, but the tape will perfectly hold as rubber he explains. he wraps the tape in the spot where the rubber should be, and closes the tap. Patched and not leaking!
Last week, I bought my own tools and rubber rings, replaced all rubber rings, including the tap with tape solution, as it was leaking again.

Five years ago, African American male Eric Garner shouted, "I can't breathe," as a Caucasian New York police officer choked the life out of him with an illegal hold. Although the incident was filmed via cellophane, no charges were brought against the officer for lack of evidence.
In 2009, an African American Harvard professor, Henry Louis Gates Jr., was arrested for attempted burglary outside his own home by a white police Sargent.
Racism is nothing new. President Donald J. Trump didn't invent it. However, his leadership has legitimized racism, bringing it from the shadows into the light. What was once something to be hidden and ashamed of has become an undeniable official policy.
|Publicly Traded MEME
From seeds such as the above statement, a truly frightening forest has enveloped the country. Our government is imprisoning thousands off immigrant men, women, and children who's only crime was seeking asylum from oppression and violence.
According to The Atlantic, one camp in El Paso, Texas, designed to house 125 people, is housing 900 freedom seekers in standing room only conditions. Among the inhumane conditions being reported are;
- extreme cold temperatures
- lights on 24 hours a day
- no adequate access to medical care
- no access to showers or soap for basic sanitation
- dark foul-smelling water
- and inadequate food.
Like I said, Donald Trump didn't invent racism. He didn't import it from somewhere else. The embers have always sizzled on our shores. President Trump has merely breathed upon those embers and ignited a blaze of hate across our country.

Watercolor Impressionism: Lee Erickson
Lee Erickson painting
Interview with Lee Erickson
Artist: Lee Erickson
Medium: Water color
Location: Union Square West and 16th St. outside Coffee Bar
Lee Erickson – painter, psychic, biker – paints in the street because he likes New York. That is, he likes the subject matter "I just paint from life and the city works for me." Although he was born (and the emphasis is on born) in Bridgeport, CT, Lee is a self-avowed city person and now lives on the outskirts of New York.
The son of an illustrator and a graduate of Silvermine College for fine arts, Lee now goes all around the city painting on location and from life. But you won't see him painting hackneyed images of Times Square. "I got a list of places I go, 42nd St. ain't on the list…Central Park is definitely not on the list." Instead, you might catch him at 11th and 6th, Ave, 18th and Irving or Perry and W. 4th. "I've got about 50 places I go."
Lee will also go where people send him on commission "if it falls within the kind of painting I do, I do it." Lee doesn't do portraits and really hates doing paintings of places without people and cars (although he's open to the job) – "as far as I'm concerned it's stupid, how you gonna paint NY without the people?" However, Lee admits that he does like painting horses and he's happy to do a picture of a scene without people and cars as long as it's true to life.
Lee has been painting in water color and oils for 35 years and says the street treats him pretty well. To compare, over an eight month period during which Lee went to Louisiana, he sold 52 paintings on the street while a gallery featuring some of his work sold none. But "that's how it works" he explains, "people like to see…performing artists. They come on the way to work, they come back and see it's finished and they buy it."

Voice, guitar, kazoo and washboard: John Roundcity
John Playing
Interview with John
Artist: John Roundcity
Medium: Vocals, guitar, kazoo and washboard
Location: Washington Square Park
When John Roundcity says he's a native blues player of the "great black swamp" he's talking about Toledo, Ohio. John has left his hometown swamp to search for opportunity in the Big Apple. "The Midwest is dying out," he explains, "the jobs are leaving, no one wants to pay good money to listen to decent music…Even Detroit," he laments, "Detroit's a shithole, everybody knows that." Remaining true to his roots, though, he adds "…but you gotta love it."
So did John come to New York make money in the music business? "Ah, not so much… I'd rather play music…[but] there's all this other opportunity around me."
Although searching for any kind of opportunity, John Roundcity loves his music. He caught the music bug from his grandfather who was a harmonica player. His grandfather liked the blues so he says he naturally gravitated toward that. After learning the harmonica John taught himself the guitar. "I play the harmonica and I like to sing, so I figured I'd pick up guitar. Something to accompany my voice, I guess."
John just moved to New York about a month ago but he's not stranger to the place. He was usually here two to three months out of the year anyway visiting his brother. John loves playing in the streets of New York and enjoys it more than he being on stage, stating that he likes to be loud on his own and that after losing some hearing from performing on stage too much, he finds it hard to get back into it. He also has this to say:
"When you're playing in a club or a bar it's hard to get peoples' attention…but if I could get just one person to stop when going from point A to point B and pay attention to what I'm doing, that gives me more satisfaction than playing in a room full of drunk people who necessarily don't even give a shit. It gives me more satisfaction to be down here on ground level…I love it all."

Dulcimer, cahone and bells: Max ZT and Rich Stein
Max and Rich playing
Max and Rich discuss how they got into music and how they make a living
Max and Rich talk about their style of music and their influences
Artists: Max ZT and Rich Stein
Medium: Dulcimer, cahone and bells
Location: Union Square on the steps near 14th St.
Max ZT says it's not world and it's not progressive, Rich Stein adds it's just what you get when a couple of white boys roam the world and then you throw them together and let them make music – there's no real defintion. Max and Rich have a good synchronicity in their description of their music, which is a good sign considering these two only met last November.
Prior to playing with Rich, Max played Dulcimer for 16 years. After seeing the instrument at a festival when he was tiny, Max concluded it was awesome and that he must have one. Successful in that first endeavor of acquiring a dulcimer, Max took lessons for about 10 years in Chicago and has come to New York to pursue another endeavor, success in music. Having lived in Chicago and Seattle, and having gone to school in upstate New York, Max contends "the music scene [in New York] compared to Seattle or Chicago is just leaps and bounds above."
Rich Stein hails from Virginia Beach, VA and plays all kinds of percussion. He got his start at the age of 10, stating it was a typical instrumental style for a kid since he was always banging on pots and pans. Even at that early age Rich knew he wanted to rock for a living and began to take drum lessons. Rich played in school band and continued percussion throughout college in Boston. After Boston Rich felt it was a "natural progression…to move down [to NY] and do music professionally. Where else are you gonna go if you wanna play music?" To that end Rich keeps himself busy playing anywhere from 7 to 10 gigs a week. Not that Max isn't equally serious, "we're both…professionals. This is all I do, this is all [Max does]."
In their quest for musical inspiration both Max and Rich have traveled the world. Max cites Senegal as a major influence in his life, having studied there on several occasions. Rich has also studied in Africa, drawing attention an experience with a powerful drummer in Ghana while handling a worn wallet he received as keepsake from the encounter. Rich also notes that his teachers Jamie Hedad and Joe Galiota have had a strong impact on his musical career.
For both their parts, Max and Rich love playing in the street. With a healthy respect for the tradition of street performing in mind, they cite the sun and opportunity to meet people and see old friends as their impetus for getting out in the open. As Rich put it – "if you've go the time, why sit around at home when you can be outside playing music?"

R and B Vocals and Keyboard: Sean Fingers
Sean playing
A Sean Fingers original
An interview with Sean Fingers
Artist: Sean Fingers
Medium: Vocals and keyboard
Location: 59th Street Station on the downtown A, C platform
For Sean Fingers it wasn't really a choice, in his family "if you didn't play and sing something you were black sheep, oddball." This Queens native comes from a long line of musicians, including one of his greatest influences, Thomas McClary, who played guitar with the Commodores. But music wasn't forced on Sean, rather "it was always inside of me but my family influenced it to come out."
Despite his connections to many musicians, Sean taught himself how to play and sing. "I watched the greatest people, man…and I asked them to teach me and they wouldn't show me nothin'…when they saw me do what I do they felt like school would take away the love, and I understand that now."
Sean says he loves playing in the streets and subways. "This is a spiritual connection with people. God has got me out here just to touch the hearts, I believe." Although he frequently plays gigs and is currently playing for The Legendary Intruders, he contends that he'll never stop. "I could have a million dollars in the bank and I'll still come down."
Although he has been deeply influenced by his relatives like Thomas McClary and his personal favorites like Stevie Wonder, Sean also gives props to anyone who has their heart in their work for inspiration. "If you could bang a can, and I feel you…yeah."
Sean started his love of music by writing original music but stopped playing his own songs in public for fear of being ripped off. The exclusive original track here, however, carries his message that "if you don't have love in your life you're not living." Also, Sean has these words for his fans: "Look into yourself for the truth, look to God for the love, and the rest will follow…you gotta have some kinda faith, you can't live every day thinking it's promised to you 'cause it's not."

Gardens will be blossoming with colour as we drift through June, hopefully with more warm sunshine and just enough rain to keep those plants watered.
All that sun and rain will quickly bring on strong prickly weeds and bramble growth. Bradleys the Tannery make a great range of gloves for men and women, including these leather anti-bramble gauntlets, strong and sturdy to protect your hands and forearms from all those prickles – great for pruning roses too! For all other gardening jobs, their lighter weight suede gauntlet gloves in different sizes and colours are ideal.
Involve younger members of the family in making paper pots out of old newspapers using Creamore Mill's Paper Pot Press made from sustainable timber before filling with compost and seeds. Identify your plants with extra wide seed labels that accommodate larger writing, making them easier to read without having to bend over. Being compostable, they save the job of sifting out otherwise plastic labels from your compost heap! When vegetable and flower seedlings are ready to plant out, they can be left in their paper pots to avoid root disturbance and put straight into the ground. Plant growth is unchecked because the newspaper decomposes as the plant grows.
For bigger projects, Creamore Mill's oak seed tray dibbers with turned pegs spaced 5cm apart can be used not only for drilling holes but also to rake out drills for sowing rows of small seeds making large volume sowing quicker. They will work in both standard seed trays and half-size seed trays. The flat back of the dibber lends itself to tamping down the compost over the sown seeds afterwards.
Creamore Mill's oiled beech stakes are wound with 10 metres of natural jute twine to mark out straight lines, perfect for planting out seedling rows in the garden or defining beds and edging lawns. It's also time to tie back rampant climbers; the Mill also produces a turned oak stand featuring a nifty cutter in the bishop's head to cut jute twine.
At the end of a hard day in the garden, kick off your wellies and store them upside down on Creamore Mill's oak boot stands with turned tapered pegs and beaded caps - they will grace the entrance of your home and naturally weather over time.

Key Zionist institutions have been brought down several times in the last weeks by hackers, reports Al Jazeera. The latest attack happened yesterday bringing down the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange and the El Al airline sites.
These sites are presumed to be protected at very advanced levels, implying that the author(s) of the attacks, allegedly some Saudi hacker known as 0xOmar, is (are?) very good.
The same hacker claimed earlier in the month the capture and publishing of a number of Israeli credit cards but the files were actually malware. This was responded by some Zionist hacker who adopted the ad-hoc name of 0xOmer, liberating some 20,000 Saudi credit cards.
Later Gaza-based hackers took over pages of ministerial and emergency services.
All these attacks have exposed how feeble is cybersecurity even in a military fortress like Israel.

Understanding God's Appointed Times and Principles
Notes by Dr. CarolMarie
Insights from Churck Pierce, Robert Heidler, Gwen Shaw, Barbie Breathett, and internet resources including Fox News and Hebrew4Christians.com
Hebraic Month: Sivan
Featured Bible Character: Mary, Mother of Jesus
3rd Month: Three means Holy Trinity; perfect witness and testimony; union, completeness, approval; fullness, kindness; Godhead; Noah's three sons; Jesus' ministry; Jonah in the belly of fish; cross and resurrection; Peter's denial; time (past, present, future).
Appointed Times: The close of "Counting of the Omer"; Shavuot (Giving of the Torah) is also known as Pentecost, Shavuot means "Weeks" that occurs on the six day of the Hebrew month of Sivan.
Shavuot commemorates the anniversary of the day God gave the Torah to the entire nation of Israel assembled at Mount Sinai. It marks the conclusion of the "Counting of the Omer",-counting of each of the forty-nine days between Passover and Shavuot. Shavuot or Pentecost lands on the 50th day after Passover. 50 is the number of Jubilee, deliverance and freedom. Pentecost happened 50 days after Yeshua's resurrection and was when the Father sent the Holy Spirit as promised in the book of Acts.
We celebrated on May 13, 2018 a historical event of the 70th anniversary of Israel being a state. I also marked the day the United States moved our embassy to Jerusalem as the first nation to recognize it should not be in Tele Aviv, agreeing with Israel and God! Sivan 5778 begins with Jerusalem being the capital of Israel. It is the first time in 3000 years when King David declared it! There was a lot of unrest with the Muslims in Israel and Palestine, but great joy throughout the land who has a heart for Israel.
Ramadan is also observed by Muslims worldwide as a month of fasting to commemorate, what they believe, the first revelation of Quran to Muhammad. (This covers the month of Sivan falling on May 15-June 14.) Observances: Fasting of food and liquids during the day until sundown daily, zakath (alms giving), prayers, reading the Quran, "Abstaining from all bad deeds and staying humble". The Muslims are faithful in their prayers and fasting releasing much into the 2nd heaven. We need to be on our guard and be faithful in our commitment to the true and living God. (if you want to know what is powerful in the Kingdom, look to see what the enemy wants to rip off or pervert! There is power in the Word of God, prayer and fasting…Let's redeem it!)
Example: We honor Mary, the Mother of Jesus this month, as she carried and birthed the Living Word (or Torah). Jesus represented the Holy Trinity here on Earth and was the perfect witness of Heaven.
Theme: Mary's anointing of her heart: We are honoring Mary, the mother of Jesus this month, as she carried the Bread of Life and the Living Word within her. After Jesus rose from the dead, He sent the Holy Spirit at Pentecost in which Mary was a part of that gathering.
Mary was single when she received the Word of God to accept the Divine seed within her. According to history, Mary was a widow when Jesus performed His first recorded miracle at the wedding. Jesus last act on the cross was to present the widow to the church she He put Mary into the safe keeping of John, (instead of James or one of His earthly brothers.) Then He said "It is finished" or "completed". The church needs the widow's prayers and the widow needs the church's covering to be complete. Jesus thought so!
There is an anointing of the heart of Mary we can move into where we can trust Him in a deeper way and carry His Word within us to bring life. Ask Him for His Divine Word for your situation.
Hebraic Alphabet: Zayin "receiving mercy for completion". (Picture of weapon, "cut, to cut off" to bring victory.) See mercy as a weapon that cuts off strife. James 3:13-18. The letter Zayin begins words in Hebrew such as "time", "remember", and "remembrance". The memory of time brings about self identity n line with our Creator. The word picture of the letter Zayin is an ax or weapon representing the Word of God that helps us remember truth and will cut away what is false if we allow it. Its His mercy that reveals what needs to be cut away of the flesh! This is a month to allow His surgery to heal and complete us so we can be what we were created to be! It is a month to use our weapons to see others set free.
Scriptures: Luke 1:26-56 GATE: Bethlehem "House of Bread"
Tribe: Zebulun "A Habitation" Business anointing! (The symbol is of a ship because it dwelt by the sea.) It was a haven of ships, a port of business. Zebulun had a view of the horizons and looked ahead with a concern for lands and peoples. It was a loyal tribe.
Stone/Color: Aquamarine beryl, which is appropriate for Zebulun being by the sea. The color is a blend of blue, green and white. These represent peace, harmony, tranquility calmness, dependability as well as prosperity and health. It shows pure motives, power and righteousness.
Israeli Cities: Bethlehem, Tantur, Beit Sahour, Rachel's Tomb, Birthplace of Benjamin, David, Obed, Jesus.
Nations: Northern, Southern, Eastern and Central Africa including South Africa, Lesotho, Swaziland, Botswana, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Angola, Burundi, Rwanda, Uganda, Gabon, Congo/Brazzaville, Democratic Republic of Congo, Central African Republic, Sudan and Egypt.
Prayer Focus: Bethlehem, Israel, (presently in the Palestine territory) is a region of royal births as well as a targeted place for the enemy to try to t stop God's purposes. It is the site of Benjamin's birth and yet the death of his mother, Rachel. It was the place of David's birth and yet Saul's efforts to kill him. Jesus' birth took place here and Herod's vicious attempt to kill off anyone who would succeed his throne. It was here the Jew and Gentile came together with Ruth and Boaz to bring forth the royal line of David and the messiah. Samuel anointed David. The first Bible translation of the Old and New Testaments took place here in 387 to 420 by Jerome, who lived and worked in Bethlehem. There are many special anointings here and redemptive purposes to tap into as well as to be on our guard against the enemy's attempt to interfere with our destinies. Pray for Bethlehem and those within the regional gate and nation gate. Align with Heaven for new birth to flow through this prayer gate. Pray that the Word of God would be released and the revelation of the Messiah received!

ACA Presses FCC On Key Issues
American Cable Association executives met with the new chief of the FCC Media Bureau, Bill Lake, last week, to make their case against bundling of programming, Internet business models they argue boost costs to operators and consumers, and retransmission consent fees they say fall disproportionately more heavily on smaller operators.
ACA has singled out ESPN360 as one of those services that could drive up retail prices and drive down broadband adoption, saying at the Independent Cable Show last month that the association was "drawing a line in the sand."
But ESPN parent Disney has called the claims unsubstantiated and an attempt to get valuable programming for free. "We don't force distributors small or large to carry any of our product," David Preschlack, executive VP of affiliate sales and marketing, for Disney and ESPN Media Networks, told B&C back in June. "ESPN360.com is a business that would simply not exist except for this economic model."
Led by ACA President Matt Polka and ACA Chairman Steve Friedman of Wave Broadband, the ACA contingent, which also included former Multichannel News Washington Bureau Chief and now top ACA executive Ted Hearn, also talked about the set-top waivers that have allowed box makers to offer lower cost boxes without running afoul of the FCC's rule that the channel-surfing and security functions of such boxes must be separated.
ACA supports the waiver because they say allowing the lower-cost boxes will help them move more quickly to digital delivery, which frees up bandwidth for other uses, like broadband and HD.
The FCC has issued a number of such waivers recently, and has signaled it would approve more.

Is Formula E's once wide-open title fight already over?
After its first eight races had eight different winners, it seemed the first title fight of the Formula E Gen2 era would conclude with a season finale battle royale featuring multiple contenders. But has one driver stolen too much of a march?
The 2018-19 ABB FIA Formula E drivers' championship looked as if it was building into yet another fiercely contested battle that would go down to the wire. After eight different drivers had won the first eight races of the season, it seemed likely that more than half the field would be heading to this weekend's season finale in New York with a shot at claiming the crown.
But then Jean-Eric Vergne turned the screw.

The Original Divine Principle Workshop in Las Vegas
The city infamous for Original Sin is hosting the Original Divine Principle Workshop, which got off to a strong start on June 4. Nearly 400 church members gathered this evening at the Riviera Hotel on the famous Casino Strip in Las Vegas to hear opening remarks from Rev. Michael Jenkins, Rev. Tom Cutts, Rev. Levy Daugherty, and Rev. Ki Hoon Kim.
"The giving of the workshops has to do with coming back to the Garden of Eden and restoring the family of Adam and Eve that would have been established without the Fall," explained Reverend Jenkins. On March 17, 2007, True Father proclaimed the onset of the Pacific Rim Era from his base in Hawaii. In October 2008, the Original Divine Principle workshops began. True Father personally instructed and prepared Rev. Jeong Eog Yu to give these lectures; later he authorized Rev. Hideo Oyamada, Rev. Ki Hoon Kim, Reverend Jenkins, and Dr. Chang Shik Yang to lecture as well.

J.J. Abrams Describes Star Wars: Episode VII 0
In spite of the flurry of excitement revolving around Star Wars: Episode VII, director J.J. Abrams has been remarkably quiet, with most people just assuming that he's too busy working at the film and whatever other projects he has on his slate at the moment. However, Abrams finally broke his silence and discussed Episode VII in a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly:
"It's been nice seeing how important [Star Wars] is and to be reminded how important it is to so many people. We all know that [George Lucas'] dream has become almost a religion to some people. I remember reading a thing somewhere, someone wrote about just wanting [the new film] to feel real; to feel authentic.
"I remember I felt that way when I was 11 years old when I saw the first one. As much of a fairy tale as it was, it felt real. And to me, that is exactly right."
Unfortunately, Abrams is keeping his lips tightly zipped when it comes to the plot, only offering a brief comment about the overall mood of the film:
"I would say we are working really hard to make a movie that feels as emotional and authentic and exciting as possible," says the director. "Whatever your favourite Star Wars movie is and how to compare it is really sort of subjective."
