Since the first humans roamed the Earth, there has always been a quest for the meaning of life. Individuals have often turned to religion as an answer to all of life's questions, such as what occurs when one dies, if there is a higher power or deity in existence, and for guidance on spiritual and physical healing. While it cannot be scientifically proven whether spiritual legends of healing (such as the miracles of Jesus Christ in the Christian faith) are accurate, it is undeniable that many religions, despite the uncertainty of which religion is "correct," have brought their followers peace of mind and happiness. Therefore, it may not be surprising that most individuals residing in the United States, whether actively participating in organized religious activities or not, have expressed a belief in a higher power. Over the past 50 years, more than 90% of Americans have consistently expressed a belief in a god; more than 60% of which also pray on a daily basis (Miller). Furthermore, more than two-thirds report having membership to a church, mosque, or synagogue. Many individuals also report that participating in their religious practices has positively impacted their psychological, emotional, and physical health through receiving a sense of purpose in their life, being given hope in times of adversity, and aiding individuals in decision-making processes. Therefore, it can be argued that spirituality and religion are beneficial to one's health; although it is not any specific religion's doctrine that can bring healing, but it encourages believers to find purpose in their lives, to be optimistic in adversity, and to follow "signs" which directly impact their decisions. Additionally, while all followers who practice spiritual rituals benefit greatly from the psychological effects of the practices, it is only the most devout who are able to achieve true enlightenment.
Among many of the psychological disorders often helped through meditation and spirituality (not intended to replace medication), Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder symptoms have been found to be reduced in African-American women through the practice of religion in a study conducted by Dr. Thema Bryant-Davis et al. According to the study, the African-American female demographic was chosen due to their increased risk of experiencing sexual assault. Furthermore, due to persisting sexual stigma and racism in American society, black women are the least likely to seek help from formal agencies, such as law enforcement and psychological counseling. Therefore, the researchers inferred that perhaps the women would be more likely seek help from psychological and philosophical experts when religious and spiritual coping techniques are employed. The study was then conducted for one year, experimenting on 252 sexual assault survivors located in the Chicago metropolitan area. After the first progress check on the victims' symptoms, it was found that several women had not yet experienced a decrease in PTSD symptoms (Davis). However, at Time 2, it was found that social support and religious coping indeed helped survivors better cope with their symptoms, even if the symptoms were not entirely abolished. Therefore, while the individuals' religious beliefs may not have caused their symptoms to cease altogether, they were still able to find new methods to cope with their trauma and have the courage to seek help from professionals as well.
Further studying the effects of spirituality's effects on psychological health, Dr. Jeffrey Greeson et al. studies the effects of a technique known as Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (hereafter referred to as MBSR) on individuals struggling with clinical depression. MBSR is a meditation program not affiliated with any specific religion that is known to treat major depression symptoms. Prior to the study on the treatment's effectiveness, there was little known about the participants' personal spiritual backgrounds. Therefore, the study tested whether individual differences in religion and spiritual maturity affect MBSR's efficacy (Greeson). Throughout the experimentation process, psychological professionals analyzed 322 adults for a total of eight weeks. In the full study sample, it was discovered that the severity of depressive symptoms significantly decreased across all of the subgroups, which include but are not limited to religion, spiritual growth, sex, and baseline symptom severity. The most significant factor in successful results was discovered to be a result of changes in spirituality and mindfulness; as individuals became more open to embracing new ideas and participating in retrospective activities (most commonly meditation), they became more devoted to engaging in MBSR activities, ultimately achieving optimal results and experiencing a significant decrease in depressive symptoms. Therefore, although the meditation training program is not affiliated with any particular faith, the act of meditation in itself, which is utilized in most contemporary religions (such as the spiritual practice of prayer, which is a significant activity in religions focusing on the presence of a deity, and involves a vast amount of retrospection), is potent enough to not only decrease symptoms of depression, but also to increase one's mindfulness, overall attitude, and spiritual awareness.
In addition to the psychological impact of faith, studies have also discovered psychosomatic effects as well. Chittaranjan Andrade, Professor of Psychopharmacology for the National Institutes of Health, has further discussed the common belief of healing through prayer through illustrating randomized controlled trials on prayer and healing. Andrade conducted a study on three possible outcomes of prayer: the possibility of prayer improving a situation's outcome, having no effect on the outcome, and the possibility of worsening outcomes. Although Andrade admits that it is difficult to truly observe the positive effects of spirituality from a scientific perspective, it is evident that stress management techniques utilized in prayer (which, as previously stated, is a form of meditation) are often correlated with improved mental and biological health. Such benefits include reduced ambulatory blood pressure, reduced heart rate, altered levels of melatonin and serotonin, improved immune responses, and enhanced self-esteem. This became evident when the three outcome studies were conducted. When studying improved outcomes, he requested individuals to participate in intercessory prayer on wound healing in a nonhuman species. When the 22 bush babies were divided into randomized prayer and control groups over a 4-week period, it was found that the bush babies who had been placed in a prayer group experienced a greater reduction in wound size compared to the control animals. This discovery is highly important, because due to the species being inhuman, the subjects likely did not experience a placebo effect. In the test of absence of prayer benefits, it was discovered that patients suffering with terminal cardiovascular defects did not benefit from similar intercessory prayer methods, and when studying worsened outcomes associated with prayer, it was discovered that individuals only showed signs of improvement when they were aware they were being prayed for. Therefore, he argues that it is not the prayer in itself that leads to recovery, but the improved mental state it creates in those participating.
In addition to physical benefits, religion can also impact decisiveness in healing. It is important to note Norman Yeung Bik Chung's "A Faithful Taoist," which describes the impact Taoism had on his late father (Chung). As his father's health began to decline as the result of a dying battery in a pace maker inserted into his heart, he found himself faced with two options: undergo surgery to replace the battery and face a long and painful recovery process, or let nature run its course. His father had been considering the latter prior to visiting their local Taoist temple. However, he received a message at the altar which stated, "Go and he will be healed." Believing it to be a sign from a deity, he received surgery and was able to extend his life for another fifteen years. Years after his death, the Chung explains that he still feels his father's presence in ways that are difficult to dismiss as coincidence or a work of his own imagination. He then concludes that even if they were written by one of the volunteers at the temple, those few words written on the message his father received at the altar strengthened his father's will to live, stating, "I will always be grateful to those who gave him the hope none of us in our family could offer." In the end, he argues that it is not the validity of religion that matters, but instead it is how it affects human life. Chung's father's complete trust in the religion led to experiencing fifteen more years of life, assisting him in making the decision that was ultimately the best for his family and personal health.
Therefore, while there are many variables that are difficult to test scientifically due to the various religions and spiritual beliefs present in the world, one can conclude that the meditative practices are helpful in improving one's mental state, which has a significant effect on other parts of the physical body as well.

And Now For Something Completely Different
May 22, 2009 Leave a comment
"It was only by going to Princeton that I realized that no one understands The Wasteland. That James Joyce was unintelligible, even to my professors. And, that graduates like Donald Rumsfeld, don't know how to fight a war. So –"
"No, no, no no, sir. They don't know how to *win* a war. There's a difference."
"You're right, you're right."
"We wouldn't have the war without that man."
"A lot of my classmates were on the board of Lehman Brothers too. I wouldn't consider them overeducated. Loaning money too people who don't have any. It's very possible to be undereducated."
– An exchange between Walter Kirn and Stephen Colbert on May 19th. Kirn, promoting his new book "Lost in the Meritocracy: The Undereducation of an Overachiever"
Back when I was young, spry, full of piss and vinegar. I wanted to go here: University of Beppu, the plan was eventually to go for a Masters in Marketing, come back home, fully cultured and ready to use my education to manipulate the masses into buying whatever product my employer hired me to push on my fellow man.
The school was exotic and renown on the Asian side of the Pacific rim, at the time I had a keen interest in Japanese culture and was learning to speak the language. Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it) my interest in Japanese culture was horribly thrashed by little Otaku Fan Girls who overused the term "Kawaii", wore over-whored schoolgirl uniforms, feverishly loved horrible versions of the Final Fantasy series and had an unhealthy addiction for Bubble Tea. I have a theory that Bubble Tea is prepping young women for lives of sexual deviance, but this isn't the place or time. And I couldn't reasonably afford to go to this illustrious school without a boat load of scholarships and student loans to cover tuition. Oh yeah, not to mention the Passport requirements, Student Visa and balancing of overall living costs. I don't think a few of my grades were high enough either. I was a great Arts/English/Computer student, but force me to do complex mathematics and I'll fail quicker than the Maginot Line. I realize that's odd to hear from a person who has worked a bank and has an interest in finance, but for some reason financial numbers make sense to me. All and all, not going made a lot more sense than going.
Since, what could be dubbed, "the good old days" I've taken an interest in marketing and how products are sold to the general public. There are people who have built careers around peddling products to a society who doesn't necessarily need 'em. I find that fascinating, if only because of the wild divide between quality advertising and absolute crap.
Originally, this blog was going to be a place to sit all those horrible little advertisements down and ask them a few questions, for example:
Dear Apple,
Why do you feel the need to blast Windows Vista for being unreliable? Do you really need to depict a PC user transporting himself ahead in time to see if they've fixed Vista's freezing problems? Or show legal text every time a PC user claims that a PC is flawless. Yes, they made a bad operating system. Move on. Apple, do you even remember the 90's? You know, that decade of fuck up after fuck up? Remember the iMac G3? The computer without a fan. Remember every operating system before Mac OSX?
The continual attack ads against windows, no matter how simple and cute, comes across as horribly smug. Yes, at the moment you make a wonderful product. You have your chief competition on its heels and failing to copy your products. But what's going to happen when Windows 7 comes charging through the door and kicks the hell out of your Operating System? Is the marketing strategy going to become all about the history of perseverance and loyalty? Are you going to continue comparing apples and oranges until you no longer feel you have this fictitious upper hand?
Suggestion; let Justin Long go back to his acting career and bring out a new ad campaign that highlights the superior features of the computer, instead of trying to mindlessly shit on the competition.
– Jack.
Basically open ended letters to companies picking apart their commercials and questioning the message they're paying top dollar to push on the consumer. I actually have a load of companies I want to write letters too. I might end up doing that for a while. Who knows, I may even mail off a couple of them and hope for a reply.
Why mention this now? I received a piece of feedback that talking hockey all the time was a little boring. Or, 'dry'. (Thanks Dad) Plus, with the NHL off-season on its way, I'm going to need to focus on blogging about something else between Free Agency and The Draft.
Not to mention it'll be good practice to break free from the sports mould and write about other things.
Advice Content: Apple Inc, stop with the "I'm a Mac" ads, before something horrible happens and suddenly the 'smug middle class market' finds something else to be smug about and forgets your product.

The recipe
I was really looking forward to this recipe, but I didn't expect to like it at all. I've never had a salmon mousse before, and it has a certain reputation. Pop culture uses it to indicate that a character is out of touch, horribly backwards, or disturbingly gross. I suspect many people can't [...]

I thought I'd begin by outlining a few of the 'Predictions of 2014' that have been correct thus far:
- 3D printing
- Kimye
- Branded Content
- Printable Instagram photos
- Oculus Rift
And those that haven't…yet:
- Steam PCs
- Smart Watches
- Froyo
I might just write a blog post on why I think those flourishing, are doing so well. Stay tuned.
Digital News and Innovation
- The official Twitter tags for the World Cup are #WorldCup2014 #FIFAWorldCup. On this note, the Twitter world has spoken and the global predictions for first, second and third are Brazil (30%), Spain (21%) then Argentina (13%). Source – http://wearesocial.net/blog/2014/06/twitter-users-brazil-win-world-cup/
- Apple announced on their press site that they are set to by Beats for $3 Billion USD.
- iOS8 is going to introduce a similar quick texting mechanism similar to Samsung's Swype.
- An interesting take on the failures of content marketing. It's got some good takeaways if you make it through the cave man humour.
- Instagram ads have hit our feeds!
- Facebook released a statement explaining its decreasing organic reach. The gist of it is that because more and more content is being created and shared every day (a user could potentially be shown 1,500 stories daily). Further to this, they're still on a mission to keep the News Feed relevant to the user – I don't think they've cracked it yet…
- Tinder has added in 'moments'. Oh dear… it's got a snapchat feel. On that note, apparently 1 in 3 men are using snapchat for sexting. This is undoubtedly what will happen on the old Tinder. Don't go getting ideas Tim.
- LinkedIn has launched new page design for paying members. Following in the footsteps of Facebook, Twitter, and Google+, LinkedIn's new profiles feature cover photos, cleaner typography, and larger profile pictures (I think we can all learn how to look smug/sleazy from the example provide).
- Are we all using Instagram wrongly? This guy thinks so. He reckons we should unfollow your friends and follow your interests instead… could be good for brands!
- Australian Social Media Statistics for MAY `14. Top 3 based on active monthly users this month are:
- FB: 13,200,000 (same since April)
- YT: 12,750,000 (up 50k since April)
- WordPress: 6,200,000 (up 50k since April)
Cool campaigns I think are worth sharing:
- Lady Gaga has started her own social network – http://techcrunch.com/2014/06/10/build-your-own-social-network/
- Interactive vending machines are so hot right now.
- Vivid Light Festival: Cars that Feel Installation. Soap creative rigged up Toyota's with sensors and projections from inside the car to create A.I. #carsthatfeel. I kind of find it a bit lame and am not sure what the ROI is on this one though… happy to hear your thoughts.

When it comes to travel, I like to make things as simple and easy for myself as possible. I don't want to fuss with anything, nor make it complicated for myself once I'm on the plane.
In this post, I'll be sharing my 5 flight essentials almost any time I get on a plane. Because I live in Hawaii, and unless I'm going to one of the other Hawaiian islands, the duration of many of my flights are at least 5 hours. I have to keep myself entertained, comfortable and hydrated.
Keep reading if you want to know more!
- Kindle – I've been hooked on my Kindle since I first purchased it. I used to prefer actual printed books, but since I've got my Kindle, I can't put it down! There's just so much to read and everything is easily at your finger tips. I'll download a couple of books before my trip to read while waiting at the airport, during the flight, or if I have some downtime and want to do some leisure reading in my hotel room.
- Earbuds – A couple of years ago I found some great Sony earbuds on Amazon for about $15. They are simple, sound great and are comfortable for my small ears. (I'm always skeptical about the sound quality of cute earbuds for some reason…but if anyone knows of any good ones, let me know!) I feel much more comfortable using my own earbuds, instead of the headsets that some airlines pass out – granted you can plug them in (haven't come across this issue in a long time)! I use these to watch the in-flight movie, or listen to music on the airline stations. To be honest, I usually try to sleep on the plane and listening to music with these earbuds helps to drown the sound out.
- Snacks – Nothing crazy here, just some light snacks! Crackers, gummy fruit candy, granola bars, etc. Snacks that keep for a long time and are bite sized are typically what I choose to bring with me on the flight. If I have any left over, they just turn into snacks on the go when I arrive at my destination! When I'm constantly walking around and might have a late lunch, this helps hold me to the next time I get to eat a meal. Or, if it's late at night and I need a snack in the hotel room, I already got one!
- Hoodie – Airplanes get a little cold sometimes…OK, for me it's pretty much all the time. I dress comfortably, and always bring a hoodie in case the temperature gets a little cooler. It also helps to make the flight more comfortable so I can catch some ZZZ's!
- Water – I am someone who tries to minimize the amount of things I purchase at the airport because it's all so expensive! The one thing I make an exception for is…WATER. You never know when you might feel dehydrated on the plane and need some water ASAP! This way I can have it with me at all times, without having to bother the flight attendants!
*Stay tuned for an upcoming post series about my trip to San Francisco! Make sure you're added to the mailing list so you don't miss out on the great stories I have to share! I'll be capturing the highlights of my trip including the hotel, sightseeing, and shopping! Click here to read the first post.*

After a pretty tough commute yesterday today is much improved and I've had time to have breakfast in this delightful little cafe called Cafe francaise. It's got this lovely little conservatory attached at the back and it's a lovely place to chill out and write.
It's day 3 of my new job and I'm loving it so far. I feel like I'm making great progress with everybody and fitting in.
The wonderful thing about working at a smaller charity is everybody has a real passion and the whole reason for its existance doesn't get forgotten.
I'm getting really stuck in here with Comms, case studies, editorial and PR events. We do it all here. That's fine by me because I can and want to do it all. (Ok I want to do a lot)! I want that amazing experience and job satisfaction. The worst thing in the world is having a strong work ethic and all this passion and being caged in and not being able to execute it. That's no ones fault, there's just a lot of people to do the jobs at bigger charities and a lot more rules.
I believe honesty and self expression work well and that's how I choose to write. Freely without censor, as anyone with a cancer diagnosis should.
And the best thing about starting again? I don't talk about my cancer. I don't need to. These people know me as Caroline from another charity. I'm not Caroline who had cancer.

I am entirely fascinated,this piece by Hilda was something out of the ordinary and you will agree too.
This short story is loosely based on the TSE and ELP v NGN case. TSE (a premier league footballer) had an affair with ELP and secured an injunction to prevent NGN from publishing information about the affair. This fictional story is a narration from TSE to his wife about the circumstances that led to the affair after she divorced him, when she discovered his infidelity.
'Dear Hailey,'
I pause as I look around my empty apartment. It has lost the warmth of a family; the joyous cry of a baby, the noisy footsteps of children playing.
It has been twelve months, yet I still hurt. Whenever I lay back in the suffocating quiet of my room, I think of you. Sometimes, I walk up to our favorite chair and reminisce; I trace the lines on it, as though I will have another opportunity to hear you laugh again. I love to see your hair fall across the edge as you stare into my eyes; communicating in a language of ours. I did not tell you I had broken our vows, because I could not bear to have you think of me differently
I wish you gave me a chance to explain, to tell you why I broke my promises to you.
A month after I left home for South Africa, my team mates decided to spend our two week vacation in Cape Town. It is an amazing place, a scenic beauty. As I walked down a path one afternoon, I saw her. Estelle was beautiful, auburn hair glowing in the sun, red lips slightly parted as though about to speak. Entranced! I watched as she walked across the street, a miserable look on her face. I trailed her down a sidewalk and into a bar where she reluctantly climbed a stage and began to sing. Her voice was enthralling and left me in a trance. Soon as the music stopped, I recovered and decided to return to the hotel where I was lodged. The memory of her voice began to feel me with a deep longing to see her again, and I spent the rest of the evening thinking about her.
A night later, I made my way to the bar determined to see her. As I walked in, the soft melody of her voice hit me like delicious rays of sunlight on a chilly day. Her voice filled the room drowning out the sounds around me, and I felt like I was the only one present. When the music stopped, I watched her disappear through a door at the far end of the bar.
Curiously I followed her, I should not have. I wish I had listened to the voice that screamed at me to turn around; to walk away from her. Before I could give my intentions a second thought, she turned and stared at me. The minute she looked into my eyes, I knew that I would never walk away, not tomorrow, and definitely not that moment. She had eyes black as midnight. In the dimly lit corridor, I could see her copper colored skin and slender body adorned with a beautiful glittering blue dress. She smiled at me, gave me a kiss on the lips and signaled at me to follow her. Till this moment, I still cannot explain when and how we arrived at my hotel room, but she stayed the night and was gone before I woke up the next morning.
I visited the bar again, it had become first and foremost on my mind ever since I met Estelle. With little over two words she made me forget all sense of reasoning. I remember pleading with her that night to spend the week. She agreed on one condition; that she could leave whenever she pleased. I was desperate and willing to agree to anything but a death sentence at that moment. As I lay in bed with her in my arms, I thought about you and Timmy. I felt the first crack in my heart that day but I was selfish; I wanted all I could get from her, whatever the future held could wait.
The next few days left me holding on to a world I did not recognize, I visited places and ate and danced to music that was foreign, yet soothing to my soul. Every night we sat beneath the moonlight; she told me a little about herself. She was a Brazilian by nationality but had been abandoned by her parents during a vacation five years ago. She lived in the slum district of Cape Town where she met Mr. Lane; the owner of the bar. He heard her sing and requested that she work for him as an entertainer. The bar had been her home for two years.
The second week in Cape Town was adventurous. We visited tourists sites and landmarks but most of the time we spent discovering each other. There were even short dreamy moments were I believed that she would never leave me.
On the last day of my vacation, I woke up to find Estelle gone and a letter lying in her place. Reading through the contents of the letter, she narrated to me how she had left me and taken with her all that she needed to build a new life in Brazil. She further explained how she had discovered who I was the week before from a team mate; she ended the letter telling me that what we shared would forever remain a secret.
I quickly searched through my belongings and discovered that my money and jewelries were gone. In disbelief I hurried to the bar, only to find out from Mr. Lane that she had quit her job the day before and told him she was returning to Brazil. Comprehension dawned on me that evening as I took the flight back to Atlanta with my team mates. I left my affair and the letter behind in South Africa; I should never have done that.
The letter was the beginning of my frequent visits to court three months after I returned to you. It took me away from your side in the middle of the night and made me break my very first promise to you; never to tell a lie. The night I lied about my whereabouts, the night Jasmine was conceived. I lay awake thinking about what a fool I had been. I didn't want to live a dream in South Africa; I wanted my reality, my best friend, I wanted you.
The day I returned from the last court hearing, I was relieved. We had won; an injunction against the Newspaper had been secured. I opened the door and saw you seated on the staircase with my laptop beside you, tears streaming down your face. I knew you were leaving me that day; my second promise had been broken. The purpose of the injunction had been defeated.
You did not accuse me, you did not even speak a word. The look in your eyes were as clear as crystal; you loathed me. As you made a move to walk out the door I asked the only question on my mind.
'Why? '
I still cannot forget your reply as you closed the chapter of our lives together.
'Because you lied.'
If you would look into my eyes once again, I would at least regain some semblance of normality in my life.
'Forever Yours,
The drive to Blakely is long and strenuous, yet I bubble with anticipation. I park my car a few meters from the Wilson's residence and walk down the graveled path to the front porch. Quietly I drop the letter and ring the doorbell. Walking away, I hear the front door open and I turn around to see a tall elegant woman come out of the house; she reaches down and picks up the letter. Tears fall from her eyes as she reads the words, a mixture of happiness and disappointment on her face, it seems as though with every second she wishes that she could be sucked into the alphabets scribbled along the sheet.
After a while, she looks up and stares directly into my eyes, that moment I feel all the pain seep away, down my body and into a pool at my feet. I can never stop loving this woman; even though she belongs to someone else now. I feel a thump in my chest and I smile, this is the power of Hailey, it is beyond all the magic and pleasure of Cape Town.
Her smile communicates understanding and forgiveness. As I drive home, I feel myself break through the hard cold walls which have imprisoned me since Hailey said goodbye. I leave the torment; I leave Estelle.

Burghers of Calais; Understanding the Brazilian pop music fad
I took a snap of this sculpture in a trip to the Washington Mall over the weekend. It's "The Burghers of Calais" by the French sculptor August Rodin, and it sits at the Hirshorn Sculpture Gallery. (Rodin's famous sculpture, "Monument to Balzac" also sits there, but I've never quite been able to understand why it's so famous.)
The story is of the town of Calais. After a year of siege by England (1346-7), the King of France abandoned the town. The King of England could therefore dictate his own terms for the surrender of the city. He demanded the wealthiest and most respectable citizens of the town to come to the gates, barefoot and shackled, for the king to do with as he pleased.
So the sculpture is about sacrifice. The faces of the subjects express the despair of those who had thought themselves to be invulnerable, and who face imminent doom. Part of why it became famous is Rodin's choice to focus on the heroism and sacrifice of ordinary people. In the late 19th century it was still quite rare to make this choice -- public monuments were generally of generals, kings, or religious martyrs.
Brazilian dance music: Samba, Batucada
In the car on the way home, I had an epiphany while listening to Zuco 103's Tales of High Fever.
About three or four years ago there was the start of a global craze for Brazilian dance music, motivated in my mind by three overlapping interests. First, there is a growing desire amongst European and American club-goers for dance music based on live percussion elements as a 'warm' counter to the cold aesthetics of purely electronic dance music. (The heavy, human percussion of Brazilian music is an analogue to the dhol of Bhangra; both are popular; they can even be blended together). Secondly, the Brazil music fad has piggybacked on another Brazil fad -- the explosion of interest in the martial art form known as capoeira. The third thing to mention is that the vast majority of listeners, myself included, don't know any Portuguese, which means that reaction to the vocals is primarily driven to the sound of the voice, rather than meaning. Granted, the interest in the sound of the voice has been a big part of the popularity of Punjabi Bhangra as well as the Algerian popular music called Rai (which will have to be the subject of another post), but it is, on the whole, a little fishy. The lack of knowledge also makes fads somewhat hard to sustain. If you don't know the lyrics and don't have ways of learning, you don't develop deeper associations with what you're hearing. Fads developed on such a basis are not likely to last long.
The above is the social (or sociological) confusion behind the Brazil fad. But the Brazil music fad is also confusing musically, for a different set of reasons. No distinctions have been made between electrified samba, with house music beats (Ian Pooley), on the one hand, and the Afro-Brazilian percussion music called batucada (batuque), which originated in the slums of the Bahia (the northern part of Brazil). For most listeners (including myself on occasion), it's all lumped into the large generic khichdi called 'Brazil'.
According to The Rough Guide ot World Music, the genealogy of Brazilian popular music is a complex tree, with nearly as many branches as there are in American pop music. To begin with, there are actually two kinds of samba, the samba de enredo, which is loud, percussion-based music produced mainly for carnaval, and samba cancao (song samba), which is samba with guitar, slowed down and intended for everyday listening. It's the latter that, merged with American jazz, led to bossa nova, which became Brazil's trademark sound after the early 1960s (Stan Getz, Jao Gilberto, Astrud Gilberto: an earlier fad).
The latest fad for Brazilian music has really been for its dance music -- carnaval samba and batucada -- not so much bossa nova or its offshoots (i.e., tropicalia). There are many compilations for this type of music, samba especially, but probably the best are the German Glucklich compilations, which are selected by the German DJ Rainer Truby. (I would also recommend Ian Pooley and Spiller.) It's primarily the electronic samba side of Brazilian music that produced the group called Zuco 103. I heard their first CD, Outro Lado, about four years ago, when I was a DJ and a music reviewer at a college radio station called WXDU. It was a startling CD, clearly a hybrid, but in a sense that sounded new.
Still, even in the midst of hybrid glut, I felt there was something missing from the Outro Lado CD -- the songs seemed unfinished, the melodies too simple. It was as if the band was intoxicated by the idea of hybridity and eclecticism, but unable or uninterested in developing a new aural coherence. And when Tales of High Fever came out, I was again disappointed at first. Most tracks weren't aggressive enough to be playable at a dance party, and yet it wasn't smooth or romantic enough to compare with the pretty songs of, for instance, Caetano Veloso. So I rarely listened to it.
Yesterday, stuck in traffic and having exhausted all of the CDs in the CD wallet, I finally put it on again, and was enthralled. There is coherence here, though it swings between between samba, jazz, house music, and pop. And Lilian Vieira manages to do all kinds of interesting (sometimes shocking) things with her voice. I won't attempt a full review, just go here. Six Degrees is also helpful in providing lyrics which means even a non-Portuguese speaker like me has a shot at learning & memorizing the lyrics, thereby making my interest more than just a fad... well, possibly.

The Great Escape
Graham Greene:
"Writing is a form of therapy; sometimes I wonder how all those who do not write, compose, or paint can manage to escape the madness, melancholia, the panic and fear which is inherent in a human situation."
The short story of : The Great Escape
My feelings for you grew stronger and stronger each day, but at the same time I as a person grew weaker and weaker, until finally I lost everything that was "me." There was nothing left in me to help me come back out. This me found an alternative universe, where it felt safe and comfortable. It preferred the imaginary universe far more than the real one. It was like a completely different universe, one that was so good that it was better than reality. I didn't want to leave. It became a great escape, even though I knew it wasn't real and it was not quite right yet I couldn't let go. The contradiction between the two became very raw. I had become an excapist. However reality chased closely behind and often caught up. This was when it all hit back. The different dimensions collided, separated and merged, taking different controls each time. Maybe this is what {Rabih Alameddine meant when he said : "I believe one has to escape oneself to discover oneself."}

For the last few months, probably even longer, I have had a tiny, but persistent oil leak and for the longest time I was unable to locate the problem. With a little assistance I was able to locate two of the culprits, my oil censor, which I replaced awhile back, and my fuel flange.
The oil censor was simple, but the fuel flange was a bit more difficult. The task in itself was simple, but accessing it was a bitch. To get to the flange you must remove the fuel pump, which is held in place by multiple nuts, several which are located out of sight.
To make removal a little easier we removed the distributor, just to give us a little more working space. Once that was out of the way the nuts were still difficult to access. We could reach them now, but could not turn a wrench. To take the nuts off we used one of the newer ratcheting wrenches. I love them they made the task so easy.
Once the fuel pump was removed there was nothing more than just swapping out parts and gaskets. During this I learned that the gaskets that were in place were barely a piece of paper. I believe that may have been contributing to the leak.
Reassembling was just the reverse of the previous and everything went back in smoothly.
I still have a leak coming from an unknown source, but at least I have fixed two of them and I shall continue to search for the rest.

Free access to academic journals: get off Wikipedia and get your answers straight from scientists
Having lost my student status at the university of Calgary with my move to Bermuda, I have sorely missed my regular access to scientific journal articles.
Reading the initial reference is essential to get the straight goods when you are doing research online. Wikipedia and sites like it are filled with incorrect materials and references that lead no where or go to non-primary references like news articles or other websites that are often wrong (click on one and see for yourself).
I found this fantastic resource today–a search engine powered by the U.S. National Institutes of Health's National Library of Medicine. This database houses over 3000 journals with over 1000 offering complete access to their publication.
Go have a search and a read. The articles can sometimes be a slog to get through completely and it is sure nice to have a background in statistics when plowing through the methodology.
I suggest reading the abstract, the introduction and the conclusion (sometimes just at the end of the article's discussion and not named as such). Literature reviews will cover more of the material if you are looking for a synopsis and overview of a decade or so of research without doing it yourself.
Happy reading.

We hear a lot of scary news about the internet so as it's only going to become more and more part of everyday living, we need to be realistic about the risks.
The Internet itself is not a bad thing or a good thing. It's just a piece of technology and, like any technology, whether it does good or bad depends on who's using it. Cars can take us on wonderful road trips or hurt and kill. Nuclear radiation can kill or heal. And the same technology that created the movies 'Casablanca' and 'The Lord of the Rings' also gave us 'Monster-a-Go-Go' and 'The Hottie and the Nottie'.
It's really all about who's using the technology and, unfortunately, there are always some people who want to use technology to do bad things.
But these bad people aren't just online. When you go on vacation, you take precautions; along with arranging for feeding pets and watering plants, you might stop your mail or have a friend collect it, get someone to mow the lawn or come by and turn on some lights.
And while you're on vacation, you wouldn't update your Facebook page to tell the world what a great time you're having – and that your home is empty – would you?
But many people do this and plenty of other things that expose themselves to online risks unnecessarily.
In the real world, we take steps to protect ourselves; we wear seat belts, don't pick fights with bikers, don't leave children with strangers and many more to keep ourselves and our families safe.
It's the same online. When you visit a website, think of it as visiting a new place in the real world; until you know the area be cautious about where you go, who you talk to and what you say.
The Internet has so much to offer that it would be a shame to miss out on it when you really don't have to.
The information that's available online is endless; whether you're looking for driving directions, long-lost friends, new customers, a building permit, videos of talking dogs, clips from a favourite '80s TV show, a university seminar on thermodynamics or a dream job, you can find it online.
And the number of online tools is increasing as well. You can run your own business, share photos and then talk about them over a video phone call with people anywhere in the world, see photos of a destination before you even get there, create your own music, run your own radio station or share your thoughts with the world, all for free. That's right; free. No money needed. Zip. Zilch.
There's just too much to miss out on and there's more coming. Just four years ago, no one had heard of Twitter or Foursquare and now millions of people around the world use them every day. Who knows what's next?
Take a few precautions when you're online, just like you do every day in the real world. I promise, it'll be worth it.

A neighb0ur heard about how a few of us had gone and prayed a blessing on that shop.
This neighbour is having home renovations done, now she's asked if I'll come and bless the renovations once they're complete!
They didn't teach us about this at college.
So I guess from now on I'm…MR BLESSING.

I've done a few recommendation posts for Stephen King books in the past, but nothing quite on this scale. I owe a huge thanks to Zoe at Readabiltea for the inspiration, as it was her Beginner's Guide to Agatha Christie that made me realise that my King knowledge might actually be helpful to new Constant Readers. Not that I'm an expert or anything, I just really like Stephen King's books.

Ah, April - the start of the year's second quarter, the heart of spring. What a month you've been. You were better than March - and much better than February - I'll give you that, but you still weren't perfect, were you? From grey weather and chilly mornings to being swamped in university work and not feeling much joy in the things I once loved, it seemed you were here with nothing but bad. And yet, we began to turn a corner, did you and I, April.

The Wilmington Blue Rocks had to face a big league rehabber in their game against the Potomac Nationals on Wednesday night. However, it was only for one inning.
Washington Nationals reliever David Carpenter made his first rehab start and allowed a run on one hit and a walk. Below is video of the five Blue Rocks batters he faced.
It started with leadoff hitter Carlos Garcia, who tripled down the right field line:
Next up was Jack Lopez, who drove in Garcia with a sac fly:
Robert Pehl was next:
Carpenter then walked Ryan O'Hearn (I apologize for the expletive from Carpenter after the walk if the video picked it up):
Elier Hernandez was the final batter (and the final out) Carpenter faced:

At what point shall we expect the approach of danger? By what means shall we fortify against it? -- Shall we expect some transatlantic military giant to step the Ocean, and crush us at a blow? Never! -- All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest; with a Bonaparte for a commander, could not by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a thousand years. At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.
Abraham Lincoln, Jan 27, 1838
Why does this passage call out to me for attention? Simply this: no outsider can turn us into a USSR, a China, a Saddam Hussein-led Iraq. But as we, as a society slowly give up our personal responsibilities to the government, so shall we sign away our liberty.

Black Lives Matter Gathering Points a New Direction for the Movement
|Dan La Botz February 1, 2015
The Black Lives Matter Movement is alive and well. If it has for the moment—under political attack and facing the winter's sub-freezing temperatures—withdrawn from the streets, it has done so to plan a new stage in the fight for justice for African American victims of police racism and violence. As many as 400 people, mostly young people of color, attended the eight-hour long Black Lives Matter Gathering at the famous Riverside Church in Manhattan on January 30 where in workshops, trainings, and plenary sessions it seemed that a new direction was being set for the movement.

Mexico - The Year in Review
|Dan La Botz January 8, 2015
President Enrique Peña Nieto, who had been so successful in advancing his fundamentally conservative economic program during his first year and a half in office, suddenly faced a serious challenge beginning in September 2014 when police apparently cooperating gangsters killed six students, injured at least 25 injured, and kidnapped 43 in the town of Iguala in the state of Guerrero.

Cuba - A Personal Reflection
|Dan La Botz December 22, 2014
When in 1959 I was fourteen, my socialist, pacifist father gave me a gift subscription to Liberation, the leftist magazine sponsored by the War Resisters League that was published from 1956-1977. My parents had divorced and I lived with my mother in the town of Imperial Beach, California, on the Pacific Ocean and the Mexican border, while my father lived in Chicago. Liberation was my father's way of seeing to my political education from a distance. In the pages of Liberation I first read C. Wright Mills' essay (later a book) "Listen Yankee" as well as other articles about the revolution in Cuba.

|Dan La Botz November 29, 2014
The Mexican government confronts a major political crisis on two fronts. The first is as a result of the massacre and kidnapping that took place on September 26 when police and other assailants in Ayotzinapa, Guerrero killed six, wounded twenty-five, and kidnapped 43 students. Since the massacre and kidnapping took place, there have been demonstrations in Guerrero, Mexico City, and several other states, some of them massive and some violent.

Dilma Rousseff of the Workers Party (PT) won Brazil's presidential election on October 26, meaning that when her term ends her party will have held the nation's top office for a remarkable sixteen years, longer than any party in Brazilian history. Rousseff began as part of an armed revolutionary guerrilla organization during the dictatorship from 1964-1985, then helped found the Democratic Workers Party (PDT), and only joined the PT in 2001.

The failure of President Barack Obama and the Democratic Party to lead a fight for many of the major social issues on which he had campaigned—jobs and wages, African Americans' civil rights, immigration, labor union power, and the environment—led to a sweeping victory for the Republican Party and a crushing defeat for the Democrats in the midterm election.
Shock, Horror, Anger at Killing of 5, Disappearance of 43 in Mexico; Protests, Marches, Strikes, Gov't Buildings Burned
|Dan La Botz October 22, 2014
Throughout Mexico there is continued shock, horror, indignation, and anger at the police killing of 5 and wounding of 17 other students, and above all at the disappearance of 43 students on the night of September 26 and the early morning of September 27. For almost a month now protests peaceful and violent involving tens of thousands have rippled across Mexico, as students, teachers, and other citizens demand that the missing students be returned alive, though some evidence suggests they may already be dead.

A little more than year ago, Brazil was paralyzed by the enormous popular protests of the June Days of 2013 as, according to a highly regarded poling agency IBOPE, some 8.5 million people joined demonstrations in 400 cities and 22 state capitals, first against high transportation costs and then against just about everything else that had to do with government policies. IBOPE found that 72 percent of the population approved of the demonstraitons and that 89 percent had no faith in the political parties.
Climate Convergence Moves Us Forward, but Challenges Us to Create a Strategy
|Dan La Botz September 24, 2014
The Climate Convergence with its more than one hundred workshops, its large plenary sessions, and its miles-long mass march of more than 300,000 people, the largest climate protest in American history, represents a turning point for the environmental movement. The gigantic and passionate parade of indigenous people, ethnic groups of all sorts from everywhere in the country, students by the tens of thousands, neighborhood organizations by the dozen, several major national labor unions, and every conceivable sort of ecological cause tramping through New York City carrying huge banners and giant puppets, striding and dancing to the tunes of 29 marching bands, put the issue of the environment and climate change on the national agenda as never before. The national climate movement has arrived—now what will it do?

The Climate Convergence—an opening session on Friday, a hundred meetings on Saturday, a huge march and Occupy the U.N. Climate Summit on Sunday, and other actions on Monday such as #FloodWallStreet (Stop Capitalism. End the Climate Crisis.)—began in New York City on Friday night with an indigenous prayer, speeches from climate activists, and a powerful call to action to save the planet. Organizers have worked to make this a turning-point event.
The Climate Convergence has come to New York to challenge, protest, and attempt to change the climate policies of the corporations, national governments, and the United Nations which is holding its Climate Summit this week in New York.

Lost Florida Voting Records Found
Jul. 30, 2004
MIAMI -- Miami-Dade County elections officials said Friday they have found detailed electronic voting records from the 2002 gubernatorial primary that were originally believed lost in computer crashes last year.
Seth Kaplan, spokesman for the Elections Supervisor office, said the records were found on a compact disc in the office. "We are very pleased," he said.
When the loss was initially reported earlier this week, state officials had stressed that no votes were lost in the actual election. The record of the votes had been believed lost during the crashes in April and November of 2003, and county officials had said they did not have a backup system in place until December.
The lost records marked the latest in a series of embarrassing episodes involving Florida voting since the turmoil of the 2000 presidential race.
Despite the discovery of the disc, local activists expressed skepticism.
"There are now more questions than before," said Lida Rodriguez-Taseff, chairwoman of the Miami-Dade Election Reform Coalition. "I certainly want the disc, I certainly wish someone would test the original disc they are now claiming they found and determine when that disc was made, where it came from, whether it's been tampered with and if anyone's opened it."
