Tips for Effective Editing
The importance of editing cannot be stressed enough. Judicious editing can turn a bad piece of writing into a passable piece of writing, and an average piece of writing into a good piece of writing. It's best to get someone else to edit your work as they will be more objective, but for those of you who can't afford an editor here are some tips so that you can do it for yourself.
- Always write in the active voice.
- Vary sentence length.
- Don't use the same words again and again.
- Make sure that sentences flow logically.
- Read your writing out loud.
- Get someone else to read your writing.
- Use spell check (but don't rely solely on it).
- Make a list of the mistakes you make most often and then go back and do a separate search for these.
- Makes sure that page numbers are correct.
- Make sure that the font is the same style throughout the document.
- Make sure that any tables, pictures, and graphs, etc. are not upside down.
- Let you piece of writing sit for a bit before you attempt to edit it, as this will help you see it with clearer eyes.
- Make sure that people's names have been spelled correctly. There is nothing worse than getting someone's name wrong.
- Make a list of commonly confused words or malapropisms. Practice-practise, affect-effect, adverse-averse, for example, and make sure that you eliminate all these errors in your writing.
- Keep prepositions to a minimum.
- Watch out for mixed metaphors. For example, "I smell a rat. Let's nip it in the bud".
- Watch out for spoonerisms. For example, "A well boiled icicle" instead of "A well oiled bicycle".
- Watch out for typos.
- Try to keep paragraphs to around the same length.
- Make sure that stylistic decisions (like whether your write numbers out in full or not) are consistent throughout the text.
- Activate your verbs. Use active verbs rather than adjectives. For example, "She galloped towards the train" is better than "She ran towards the train as fast as she could".
- Avoid dangling modifiers. For example "Reaching the station, the sun came out" should be changed to: "As I reached the station the sun came out".
- When using reported speech write in the past tense as this makes reading smoother.
Make sure that sentence beginnings and endings are powerful as these are what make the biggest impression on the reader.

« Le blog drzz » is a French website promoting pro-american and pro-israeli views.
Previous guests for interview included Norman Podhoretz, Daniel Pipes, Laurie Mylroie, Bat Ye'or, and a Minister of the State of Israel, Effi Eitam, and others… TODAY'S GUEST
William Kristol, Ph.D., is the former chief of staff of Vice-President Dan Quayle (Bush senior administration) and Secretary of Education William Bennett (Reagan administration). He is currently the editor of the Washington-based influential The Weekly Standard. He writes a column in the New York Times and is a guest on FOX News political shows.
Interview made by phone on August 14, 2008 and later translated in French by the author.
Audio excerpts – complete transcript
DRZZ : President's Bush second term will end next November. In his 2005 State of the Union address you helped to write, he said : "Our generational commitment to the advance of freedom, especially in the Middle East, is now being tested". Do you think America did pass the test during the Bush's Presidency ?Our generational commitment to the advance of freedom, especially in the Middle East, is now being tested". Do you think America did pass the test during the Bush's Presidency ?
KRISTOL : Yes. The most important thing was to win the war in Iraq. If we had fled from Iraq, if we had allowed Al-Qaeda to win and Iran to dominate the Iraqis, that would have been an horrible defeat. There are other things I wish we had done better and other areas where I think we retreated a little bit like Lebanon. The main victory for us and for the Iraqis was the democratic elected government and the elections that happened there. That's very important.
DRZZ : What would according to you be the best successes of the Bush's Presidency ?
KRISTOL : Two things, I would say. Iraq in particular and the fact that we have really broken the back of Al-Qaeda. The expectations that Al-Qaeda would be strengthen by a war in Iraq and that terrorists would use it as a recruiting tool have been finally proven wrong. They saw Iraq as a central front and the Sunnis have turned against them. It is a major achievement. If you have said five years ago that Arabs would fight with American troops against Al-Qaeda in the center of the Middle East, nobody would have believed you. It was difficult, it was mismanaged for quite a while but it ended up being a success.
DRZZ : And the worst failures of the Bush presidency… ?
KRISTOL : (laugh)
DRZZ : Well, you cannot escape from that one… .
KRISTOL : I think Bush backed off in the second term in terms of confronting Iran, promoting democracy and standing up against terrorist groups in Lebanon. Especially, I would say, allowing Iran to apparently make progress in his nuclear program without effective response can be seen as a failure. I don't judge it as irreversible but I don't think this situation is a good one.
In general, Bush has been in my view not strong enough in facing up dictators, especially Russia's Putin and China's Jintao.
DRZZ : Many observers don't understand why the Bush administration didn't really defend its decisions, especially the Iraq war. For example, it has been proven Saddam Hussein's regime had links with Al-Qaeda. Yet the White House was unable to explain the truth to the American people. How do you explain that ? Is it Bush's fault ? His communication staff ? The military ?
KRISTOL : Bush never got full control of the executive branch of the government. He never was able to put in the right people to head the different agencies and he was not willing to use his power to really make sure that the government was working in the same direction. So you have to blame Bush. He did not understand how important that was.
Then, in Iraq, we did not find Weapons of Mass Destruction in 2003 and I think the whole White House got scared of making the argument about the war and the relationship between Saddam's regime and Al-Qaeda. They decided instead to say : "well, we are there, we can not afford to lose so we have to win", which is true. But they gave up on making the argument about why it was right to go to war, and the war with Saddam in the first place. I think they have paid a huge price for this mistake. The American public and foreign audience wanted to know that this war was reasonable and that we are better off since Saddam Hussein has been defeated.
The administration did a very bad job in communication and barely even tried to explain the core of the point, which is: we are better now, in 2008, than we were in 2003, despite the difficulties of the war in Iraq. If we had let Saddam and his sons in power, we would have experienced terror and the renewal of the Weapons of Mass Destruction programs.
DRZZ : You wrote in the New York Times last week that "2008 is an auspicious year for freedom and democracy" . Yet Israel is now under attack and nearly surrounded by Hamas, Syria and Hezbullah…
KRISTOL : Iraq was auspicious in 2008 but the rest was not so good. The main point it to make sure terrorist groups and rogues regimes don't strengthen themselves. The Hizbullah's increasing domination of Lebanon is very worrying, Syria is killing Lebanese politicians and trying to build a reactor and despite Israel destroyed this plant, Syria never paid a real price for having built this forbidden nuclear facility.
I think if you step back and think about it, Iran is the key. If Iran would set back, I think a lot of other conflicts would be resolved.
DRZZ : I saw you on Fox News saying that if Bush believed Barack Obama would be elected, he would order military strikes. Former ambassador Bolton said the best period would be between Election Day and January 2009. Do you think President Bush will allow bombings during this period ?
KRISTOL : I was just guessing what the President could think. I prefer not. I think it is hard to strike as a lame duck President. If Bush believes it is the right thing to do, he should do it now, honestly. If Bush thinks we have plenty of time, then he should leave this to the next President. I was just saying what I thought Bush might think but I personally don't like the idea. Maybe the best thing Bush can do it is to keep the coalition together and tighten the pressure on Iran with sanctions. A lot depends of how fast the clock is moving, something that is hard to tell.
DRZZ : Will the US foreign policy change if Barack Obama is elected ? Do you think he could be pressured by the US military to order military strikes against Iran ?
KRISTOL : It is not impossible. American Presidents, whatever they say, when they come to power, when they campaign for the presidency, once you are President, you are President and you have to be serious about the war also. People change quite a bit. I prefer McCain but I think Obama could be a serious person as President. Part of being serious is using force to destroy the Iranian nuclear program. And it is much better if we strike than if Israel does.
I believe Obama would think about that.
DRZZ : Russia just invaded a neighbor. During years, President Bush chose appeasement toward the Soviet Union. Are we witnessing a new Cold War ?
KRISTOL : No. We are seeing an aggressive Russia which we shouldn't permit. I don't think it is a new Cold War, in a sense that it is not an ideological confrontation with Europe divided. The very good news is now Europe is mostly together and mostly free. But we have to be serious about stopping the Russian aggression. I think Bush is a little weak in respect of the Russian invasion of Georgia. As my friend Bob Kagan wrote, it is like the "return of History": dictators try to beat neighbors they find annoying and our responsibility as the US, especially toward our allies, is to prevent that from happening. Putin doesn't understand nice talks and we need to be strong in standing up to him.
DRZZ : Russia could argue that if the international community granted independance to Kosovo, why not South Ossetia… ?
KRISTOL : No, that's ridiculous. Kosovo is an excuse for the Russians. They wanted to teach Georgia a lesson regardless of the consequences. Kosovo was attacked by Milosevic. In the Georgian case, Russia is the aggressor. Russia needs a lesson, we cannot accept that kind of violation of foreign sovereignty.
DRZZ : What is your opinion on China, the third rogue element of the international community, after Iran and Russia ?
KRISTOL : China is getting stronger, on the other hand it has real weaknesses. They are strong democracies like Indian, Australia, Japan and others, promoting democracy and ready to work with us to bring political alternative in China. I'm not terrified of China. Ultimately, the good news is dictatorships are weak. They have problems sustaining themselves. The legitimacy of these regimes is based on economics, fear and a certain kind of nationalism and these things can live for a while but are doomed to fail. So I'm not scared of Russia or China, but I do think it requires a strong alliance of democracies to stand up to them. In Europe, primarily through NATO. In Asia, we should build a kind of NATO primarily through our relationship with Japan and others. That's where the US should take the lead, obviously. And we are taking the lead but we could do it a little more effectively. It's gonna be important over the next several years.
DRZZ : The Weekly Standard supported John McCain during the 2000 presidential elections instead of Mr. Bush. We can say McCain has always been your guy. Why ?
KRISTOL : Yes, in 2000 for me personally McCain was more sympathetic than Bush. McCain has shown a real understanding of the world. I say so because I agree with him and because he has been proven right several times. He was right about the surge in Iraq. He said it could work and it did. He was right in warning us about Putin.
McCain is a real believer in strong alliances and democracy, which I think is important. I don't agree with him about every details but I think he can be a serious and strong President.
DRZZ : How do you explain Obama's surprising low numbers ?
KRISTOL : Obama is inexperienced and McCain is a strong candidate. Americans traditionally prefer experience in time of war. Obama is pretty liberal too. I think McCain has a pretty good chance to beat Obama.
DRZZ : Is that Bill Kristol's prediction for 2008…?
KRISTOL : (laugh)
DRZZ : You are one the leading political commentators of the United States. You correctly predicted Bush's victory in 2004 and the Republican defeat in 2006. What do you expect to happen next November ?
KRISTOL : That's very hard to tell. I think McCain will win.
DRZZ : Let's talk of the growing rumor in conservative ranks. Do you believe Hillary will try a comeback during the Democratic Convention at Denver next week ?
KRISTOL : No. It's too late. She will deliver a speech endorsing Obama and then sit around and see what happens, hoping to run in 2012.
DRZZ : Your worked in the Reagan administration. Is the conservative revolution over ?
KRISTOL : These things happen in seasons. You have to have fresh thinking, I mean, you cannot propose the same solutions for twenty, thirty years. I think in a deeper level, conservatives and neoconservative have a pretty good record. Reagan, Thatcher, and Mitterrand, in some degree ironically, had a certain sets of policies which were coherent in economics and straight in foreign policy. Those worked pretty well.
We ended the Cold War, we united Europe, the economic growth of the last twenty years is not bad, China and India are growing by moving to market-oriented economy… I mean it not only worked in theory, but also in practice.
So I believe those principles remain very true.
DRZZ : Indeed. I guess you agree with Norman Podhoretz who told me the best years for neoconservatism are ahead ?
KRISTOL : I hope so ! (laugh) You never know. History is very hard to predict.
DRZZ : Well Mr Kristol, that where all the questions I had. I really thank you for your time.
KRISTOL : My pleasure.
DRZZ : Again, I wanted to tell you I really admired the work you are doing and I'll do my best to make it available to European audience.
KRISTOL : I appreciate that and I hope we can meet sometimes, maybe in Paris or over here ?
DRZZ : I will come to Washington ! Have a great week.
KRISTOL : OK. You too.

This week we're looking at the 2014 Hyundai Sonata SE 2.0T. The whole lineup of Hyundai cars is rather impressive and I continue to sing it praises.
In the early 1960s Japanese cars entered on the scene in America with a great deal of trepidation on the part of the Japanese and American's. It had only been 15 years since the end of a brutal war in the Pacific between the Empire of Japan and the US. I bought a Datsun back then because I was angry at the American car maker arrogance and wanted to smack them in the chops. It really was not all that good a car. Everything shaked, rattled and rolled and they were so underpowered for the American consumer it's a wonder they were accepted at all. But they followed the VW Beetle / Bug that became so popular in spite of the brutal between Germany under Adolph Hitler and the US and all its ally's. What is it about American's who so freely forgive those who had tried to kill them. I guess we just don't carry a grudge very long.
Can you imagine those in the Middle East countries who kill themselves if they have no one else to kill at the moment, buying cars or anything else from their enemies?
Well all that to say these Korean cars also follow a war with Korea that began in June 1950 and ended in July 1953 – of course the war was with North Korean Communism. But that was SO long ago that few remember or even care and the younger generation don't even have a clue there was a World War I, II or Korean war. They may know about Vietnam, but even that is questionable. By now it is a given that we American's harbor no animosity toward our enemies even when we have lost loved ones. We buy cars from those we fought and we buy oil from other current enemies. We're a strange people – or at the very least unusual. It was Will Rogers who said "I never met a man I didn't like". I guess that sentiment still holds true in the American consciousness.
General Information:
Parts from the US / Canada 39%; Korea 60%. It is assembled in Montgomery, Alabama, USA, Classification is Large cars. Cars from Hyundai: Accent, Azera, Elantra, Elantra Touring, Equus, Genesis, Genesis Coupe, Santa Fe, Sonata, Sonata Hybrid, Tucson, Veloster, Veracruz.
Handling & Performance:
I found driving the mountain test roads I like to use, that this Sonata delivers an E ride (Disneyland of Old term) or will challenge any 6-Flaggs park ride for the thrill of it all. It sports a 2.0 liter turbo charged gas direct injection 4-cylinder engine that produces 274 horsepower. It has sport tuned suspension and all that promises not to disappoint those who have a need for speed and control. It will pull Gs with the best of them. Nice. After that ride I needed a nap, but I was too pumped to close my eyes.
The whole family of cars from Hyundai are lovely looking cars. As good as it gets. Eat your heart out Lexus, BMW and Audi to name a few who are being successfully challenged for top spot in sales. Say good nite Camry.
Fit and Finish:
Very very good.
Let me also suggest this… if you are interested in a great warranty, a greater product from a great company, and you want to get in on the ground floor while prices are still good from the "Newest Kid on the Block" look very closely at Hyundai and sister company Kia. You will NOT be disappointed.
Conveniences and comfort:
For those who don't know what Active ECO System is, it is simply a system that modifies engine operation so you get more gradual acceleration, and the transmission tends to shift to higher gears sooner and isn't as quick to downshift for passing. Active Eco also cuts off the fuel supply during deceleration, and Hyundai says all this electronic management can increase fuel economy as much as 7 percent. But you can turn it off with the flick of a button on the dash.
In a sense there is nothing new under the sun in that some of this stuff was available on cars in the 1950s. It didn't work automatically but required the driver to adjust how they are applying gas and shifting the transmission. In any case the principal was exactly the same. The device was super simple. There was a gauge attached to the manifold that measured vacuum so you would know when to shift and apply gas for maximum fuel economy.
My 1957 Chevrolet was equipped with a home made electronic ignition that was designed and built by a Phd friend from Cal Tech in Pasadena. Those nerdy brain-e-aks were far ahead of car makers.
One technological advance however was not thought of back then is the "Proximity Key Entry" with push button start/stop. If you haven't experienced it, you need to. Those who have know what a great feature it is. I would never own another car without it and every woman who can't seem to find her car keys in that jammed packed purse this is a miracle.
DSSM or Driver Selectable Steering Mode is a nice feature for different driving conditions and at the touch of a button on the steering wheel you can lighten the touch and tension for around town driving all the way to more tension for on the road higher speed driving. Nice.
Consumer Recommendation:
At this writing the 2015 models are starting to arrive. But I have to say just between you and me and the lamp post you should consider the year old model. It provides the best of both worlds… they are considered a year older price wise and yet are new cars. Save the dough and buy the 2014. You know they will have clearance sales to get rid of the old inventory and make room for the new 2015s. Just a thought.
Recognized Competition:
Hyundai Sonata $26,000, Chevrolet Cruze $24,000, Chevrolet Impala $27,000, Dodge Challenger $26,000, Honda Accord $33,000, Kia Optima $28,000, Mazda 6 $25,000, Nissan Altima $26,000, Suzuki Kizashi $26,000, Toyota Camry $29,000, Volkswagen Passat $27,000.

Great ride, fast, luxurious appointments and standard equipped for today.

Andy Murray has the best chance he has ever had of winning the French Open this year, says the Scot's former coach Mark Petchey.
Murray begins his pursuit of a first title in Roland Garros against Argentine qualifier Facundo Arguello today and the British No 1 arrives on the crest of a wave following his most successful build-up to the tournament.
After winning his first clay-court competition in Munich, Murray recorded his only ever victory on the red sand over Rafael Nadal in Madrid, with the Spaniard currently struggling to assert his usual dominance on his favourite surface.
Murray is seeded third in Paris, and while he could meet Nadal or Novak Djokovic in the semi-finals, Petchey believes the time is nigh for his former protegee.
"What with Nadal's form and Andy's recent results, you'd have to say this is the best chance Andy has ever had to win the French Open," said Petchey, who coached Murray into the world's top 50 and will be part of ITV's coverage of the tournament.
"He's been doing absolutely fantastically in the build-up, it's been his best start on clay and obviously that will give him a huge amount of confidence.
"Beating Rafa on clay was a great win for him but more than that, it's the manner of his performances as well.
"His second serve is as strong as we've ever seen it, his backhand down the line has been great and perhaps most importantly, he feels comfortable physically now as well."
Since appointing Amelie Mauresmo, and more recently Jonas Bjorkman, to his coaching team, Murray has added more variety and aggression to his game.
The 27-year-old is using more drop-shots, attacking the net more often and adding greater weight to his second serve – adjustments Petchey believes have been integral to his results.
"You can't just sit back and defend on clay," Petchey said. "It looks like he's going after people's second serve more than he has done previously.
"That was a huge part of Jonas' game and Andy has always had great returns.
"It seems on clay he's trying to get on top of the point more quickly and that has been a huge contributing factor to the development of his game.
"In Madrid, Andy played a great match against Nadal because Rafa was playing well enough to beat him, you saw that in the semi-finals when he beat Berdych.
"That was a very credible win for Andy and it shows how well he's playing, it will give him huge confidence."
Roger Federer criticised French Open security after he was intercepted on court by a young spectator at the end of his first-round victory over Alejandro Falla.
A boy ran on court and made persistent attempts to take a photograph with the Swiss as he tried to leave the Philippe Chatrier court, before security finally intervened.
Federer cruised to a 6-3 6-3 6-4 win over Colombian Falla but the 17-time grand slam champion was angry about the incident, saying it was not the first time it had happened at the tournament.
"I'm not happy about it, obviously not for one second am I happy about it," Federer said. "It happened yesterday in the practice, too. It's just a kid, but then three more kids came.
"Normally I only speak on behalf of myself, but in this situation I think I can speak on behalf of all the players, that where you do your job, that's where you want to feel safe."
The 33-year-old said he received a personal apology from Roland Garros tournament director Gilbert Ysern after his match against Falla, but insisted similar incidents cannot happen again.
Federer's compatriot Stan Wawrinka also made it through to the second round after a comfortable 6-3 6-2 6-3 win over Turkey's Marsel Ilhan, while the surprise of the day came on Court 7, where 25th seed Ivo Karlovic lost to Cypriot veteran Marcos Baghdatis.
Croatia's Karlovic served 21 aces but could not prevent a 7-6 (7/5) 6-4 6-4 defeat to Baghdatis, who is due to face Federer in round three.
Seeds Kei Nishikori, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Philipp Kohlschreiber are all safely through. British trio Andy Murray, Aljaz Bedene and Yorkshire's Kyle Edmund play their opening matches today.
Third seed Simona Halep came through the first round unscathed as she beat Russia's Evgeniya Rodina 7-5 6-4.
Croatian teenager Donna Vekic claimed the first scalp of the round as she knocked out France's 31st seed Caroline Garcia with a 3-6 6-3 6-2 victory.
Russia's ninth seed Ekaterina Makarova is also through after she overcame American Louisa Chirico 6-4 6-2, while last year's conqueror of Serena Williams, Garbine Muguruza, beat Croatia's Petra Martic 6-2 7-5.
Seventh seed Ana Ivanovic had to come from a set down to beat Kazakhstan's Yaroslava Shvedova 4-6 6-2 6-0 while 28th seed Flavia Pennetta was also taken to a decider by Poland's Magda Linette before coming through 6-3 5-7 6-1.
Britain's Heather Watson and Johanna Konta both play their first-round matches today.

CUPERTINO, Calif. (AP) — An Apple employee was found dead in a conference room inside the company's headquarters in Cupertino on Wednesday, authorities said.
Sgt. Andrea Urena of the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office said the death of the male employee was an "isolated incident" and that no foul play is suspected.
Deputies were called about 8:35 a.m. Wednesday for a report of "a person down" at 1 Infinite Loop and found a dead man, she said.
"They determined there were no other individuals involved and they believe it was an isolated incident and that there's no was nobody else on campus or in the public at risk," Urena said.
The Santa Clara County Medical Examiner-Coroner's Office will determine how the man died, she said.
"I can't confirm any information regarding a manner or cause of death, or any weapons," Urena said.
Apple representatives did not respond to emails seeking comment.

Martha Stewart Calls for Prison Reform
Lifestyle guru Martha Stewart has called for the US government to reform the prison system in her Christmas message.
The disgraced entrepreneur is currently over two months into a five-month jail term at West Virginia's Alderson Federal Prison Camp for lying to investigators about a suspicious stock sale.
On her official Web site, Stewart writes: "When one is incarcerated with 1,200 other inmates, it is hard to be selfish at Christmas–hard to think of Christmases past and Christmases future–that I know will be as they always were for me–beautiful!
"So many of the women here in Alderson will never have the joy and well being that you and I experience. Many of them have been here for years–devoid of care, devoid of love, devoid of family.
"I beseech you all to think about these women–to encourage the American people to ask for reforms, both in sentencing guidelines, in length of incarceration for non-violent first-time offenders, and for those involved in drug taking.
"They would be much better served in a true rehabilitation center than in prison where there is no real help, no real programs to rehabilitate, no programs to educate, no way to be prepared for life 'out there' where each person will ultimately find herself, many with no skills and no preparation for living."
Stewart reassured fans, "I am fine, really," and says she has been keeping bust by cleaning the prison.

Asian Economy Is Likely to Escape Broad Flu Damage
Agriculture Sector Faces Most Fallout From Poultry Scare
HONG KONG -- A widening outbreak of bird flu could wreak havoc on Asia's agricultural sector, but it is unlikely to slam the region's overall economy the way SARS did last year, economists say.
"This is a poultry-industry problem," says Michael Spencer, Deutsche Bank's chief Asian economist in Hong Kong, noting the poultry-to-human transmission pattern the virus has exhibited so far. Any change in the way it is spread, however, could trigger travel warnings and a virtual shutdown of airports in Asia, he said....

text: This question has probably been posted before but I have not been able to find a solution searching the forum quite extensively. I am hoping that someone can help me or point me to the correct topic. I have an M3 DS real card with M3 Sakura v1.45X (M17) *REVISED*. I cannot get the cheats and soft reset to work unfortunately. I have selected the cheat.db, set it to "instant codes", selected the option for soft reset but both are not working. Does anyone know what could be the problem? Also with M3 Sakura v1.41 the soft reset was not working. Thanks for the help.

Mutations in the SCN1A voltage-gated sodium channel (VGSC) are responsible for a growing number of disorders, including Dravet syndrome (DS) and genetic epilepsy with febrile seizures plus (GEFS+). DS is a catastrophic early-life encephalopathy associated with prolonged and recurrent early-life febrile seizures (FSs), treatment-resistant afebrile epilepsy, ataxia, and intellectual disability. GEFS+ is an inherited disorder characterized by FSs that persist beyond the age of six and the development of a wide range of adult epilepsy subtypes. To date, research has focused mainly on the seizure component of these disorders;however, we now recognize that seizure onset is often followed by cognitive stagnation/decline, hyperactivity, and the development of a number of behavioral comorbidities, including autistic and psychotic traits. Although seizure frequency does tend to decline during adulthood, these comorbidities persist and are a major challenge in the clinical management of this patient population. Currently, the cognitive and behavioral outcomes associated with SCN1A dysfunction are poorly characterized, and the factors that influence the severity of these deficits unknown. Mitigating the impact of these comorbidities on quality-of-life outcomes will require broader research efforts to better characterize these cognitive and behavioral deficits, as well as identify factors that influence their severity. Towards this end, te proposed experiments in this R21 application will use Scn1a mouse models developed in our laboratory to address several fundamental gaps in our knowledge. Specifically, we will 1) better define the cognitive and behavioral deficits that result from altered SCN1A function, 2) determine whether prolonged early-life FSs, which are a common clinical feature of SCN1A-derived epilepsies, are likely to contribute to the worsening of cognitive and behavioral outcomes, and 3) determine whether the emergence of cognitive and behavioral abnormalities requires altered SCN1A function during the early period of postnatal brain development or is an invariant (age-independent) outcome of altered SCN1A function. These experiments are both innovative and clinically relevant, and will stimulate much-needed translational research.
In addition to severe seizures, patients with mutations in the SCN1A gene also display a range of neuropsychiatric abnormalities including hyperactivity, and autistic and psychotic traits. We will use mice that express a human SCN1A mutation to better characterize the behavioral abnormalities associated with SCN1A dysfunction and investigate whether early-life febrile seizures contribute to the development of these abnormalities. We will also determine if the neuronal changes that lead to these behavioral deficits occur during early postnatal brain development.

Even in old age they will still produce fruit;
they will remain vital and green. (Psalm 92:14)
I will be your God throughout your lifetime—
until your hair is white with age.
I made you, and I will care for you.
I will carry you along and save you. (Isaiah 46:4)
He fills my life with good things.
My youth is renewed like the eagle's! (Psalm 103:5)
Even youths will become weak and tired,
and young men will fall in exhaustion.
But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength.
They will soar high on wings like eagles.
They will run and not grow weary.
They will walk and not faint. (Isaiah 40:30,31)
I looked at Mark's goatee the other day and was amazed! It is getting whiter and whiter. I accidentally took a selfie early this morning when I meant to send our son a picture of our puppy, and I was even more amazed – make that slightly mortified! We are growing old! Oh my, the world has dictated a lie to us all, and the lie is this: only youth is valuable; the elderly must be put out to pasture. By no means will we buy into that lie! Old age has immense merit – we have unearthly wisdom that the whole world can benefit from. Come on, all you middle-aged friends and seniors! Let's rejoice in God's promise to us who are climbing the ladder of time, to us whose youth is renewed, to us who are growing more and more fruitful with age, to us who live vibrant lives that are full of meaning and joy!
I give you thanks and praise for your promises to me as I age. With your presence in my life, I will still be productive, every day of my life until you take me home! And everyday I'm here you will care for me with your watchful eye. You will carry me through every triumph and every trial. Thank you that you are giving me a satisfying life that is filled with good things every day. You are opening my eyes to the good things around me, and gratitude is becoming my habitual response to your blessing! Thank you that I can outrun the youngsters around me, setting a standard for what a strong life looks like, a life dedicated to you in obedience. Thank you that with your everlasting help, I can soar over every circumstance of life!
In Jesus, the Lord of my life, Amen!

It is the summer of 1947 and Europe is being torn apart by a war nobody can win. Nazi Germany occupies everything from the Pyrenees to the Volga, from Britain to the Alps. In the east, Russian and American Armies fight together, holding the line on the Volga to prevent the German Army from breaking through. In the West, American aircraft carriers rule the Atlantic, hurling their hordes of midnight-blue fighter-bombers against every target they can find.
It's World War II and the A-bomb is here to stay. The only question: Who's going to drop it first? The Battle of Midway takes on a whole new dimension with the sudden appearance of a U.S.-led naval task force from the twenty-first century, the result of a botched military experiment. State-of-the-art warships are scattered across the Pacific, armed to the teeth with the latest instruments of mass destruction.
A spectacular best seller and now a classic, The Name of the Rose catapulted Umberto Eco, an Italian professor of semiotics turned novelist, to international prominence. An erudite murder mystery set in a fourteenth-century monastery, it is not only a gripping story but also a brilliant exploration of medieval philosophy, history, theology, and logic.
The Templars fought against Islam in the crusader east for nearly two centuries. During that time the original small band grew into a formidable army, backed by an extensive network of preceptories in the Latin West.
John Denson, in a book that covers the history of America's large wars from 1860 through the Cold War, describes the 20th century — not coincidentally a century of statism — as the bloodiest in all history: "More than 170 million people were killed by governments with ten million being killed in World War I and fifty million killed in World War II. In regard to the fifty million killed in World War II, it is significant that nearly 70 percent were innocent civilians, mainly as a result of the bombing of cities by Great Britain and America."
Here, in one impressively illustrated volume, leading scholars offer compelling glimpses into the biblical world, the world in which prophets, poets, sages, and historians created one of our most important texts--the Bible.
The year is 2011, and in South Africa a reactionary coup has established a military government that has begun sinking U.S. and British merchant ships. NATO quickly responds, with only Germany holding back-until Germany starts nuking Poland and eviscerating the French. Now the South Atlantic is a battleground where nuclear-tipped missiles rule-and the only gun worth using is one that seeks and fires from deep beneath the sea. Tactical nukes are used by both sides with great loss of life.
Redemption comes in the form of a new mission that will pit Fuller against his former adversaries from the Cold War. Washington has concluded that Russia is the key to victory. The former superpower, officially a neutral country, is clandestinely supplying the Axis powers with advanced weapons technology. Russia must be punished, but it needs to be orchestrated in such a way that will, at the same time, avoid creating a new enemy.

The alternate history master and author of Days of Infamy brings his Pearl Harbor epic to a dramatic conclusion.
In this alternate history of World War II, the Japanese follow up their Pearl Harbor attack with the successful occupation of Hawaii, and America is marshalling its military forces-from east coast to west-to reclaim the islands from the enemy.

Funding for Special Needs
If you want to give assets to a loved one with a disability either during your lifetime or through your estate, you must plan carefully. Otherwise, you could jeopardize their ability to qualify for public benefits (Supplemental Security Income and Medicaid). While owning a house, car and other personal property does not negatively affect their benefits, most financial assets, including cash in the bank, will disqualify them from receiving benefits. And the current cap in order to qualify for public benefits is a mere $2,000!
Fortunately, there are ways you can leave assets to a family member with a disability while preserving their eligibility for Medicaid and other assistance.
A Special Needs Trust is the most well-known strategy for helping a loved one with a disability while ensuring they continue to qualify for public benefits. This works because assets are left to the trust, not the disabled family member.
Within the trust document, you will appoint a trustee who will have complete discretion over the trust assets and will be in charge of spending money on your disabled family member's behalf. The trustee cannot give money directly to your loved one — that could interfere with eligibility for public benefits — but the trustee can spend trust assets to buy a wide variety of goods and services for them. Special Needs Trust funds are commonly used to pay for personal care, vacations, home furnishings, out-of-pocket medical and dental expenses, education, recreation, vehicles, and physical rehabilitation.
The ABLE Act was signed into law in 2014, creating 529 ABLE (529A) accounts to provide a tax-advantaged vehicle for saving assets for disabled individuals. Money in the ABLE account (up to the first $100,000) will not be subject to the $2,000 personal asset limit that determines eligibility for public benefits.
Another major benefit of the 529A account is its taxation. Unlike a Special Needs Trust, money coming out of a 529A account is tax-free if it's going toward a qualified disability expense. Qualified expenses include education, housing, health care, prevention and wellness, and funeral expenses — but does not include supplemental expenses such as vacations or personal grooming.
Since the legislation for the 529A accounts is still fresh, many states have yet to launch their programs. It may take until late 2016 or early 2017 for the programs to be fully implemented. However, since they each have their own nuances that seem to pair well the other, we envision the 529A and Special Needs Trust working side-by-side for families with disabled children and adults.
If you are in need of more information on any of these accounts, we'd like to hear from you! Take a look at the calendar to find a time that works for you.

USC All-American Marlin McKeever Dies
Oct. 27, 2006
Marlin McKeever, a 2-time All-American end at USC who then played 13 years in the NFL, died on Friday (Oct. 27) in Long Beach after suffering a head injury in a fall at his home. He was 66.
Information for memorial services is pending.
McKeever was a 3-year (1958-60) letterman for the Trojans, where he also played fullback and punted. He earned All-Conference first team notice each season and was an All-American first teamer his final 2 years at Troy. He also was a 1960 Academic All-American. Among his other honors: he won USC's Lineman of the Year and Player of the Game versus UCLA Awards in 1960, and played in the 1960 East-West Shrine Game and 1961 College All-Star Game and Hula Bowl. He was USC's receiving leader in 1959 and 1960 and its punting leader in 1958 and 1960. He also lettered twice (1959-60) in track, competing in the shot put and discus throw.
Half of USC's Marvelous McKeever twins, his late brother Mike was a 1959 All-American guard (and 2-time Academic All-American) who captained the 1960 Trojan squad, but he had to give up football after a head injury in 1960. The twins were USC's first Playboy Pre-Season All-Americans, when they were selected in 1960, and also were inducted into USC's Athletic Hall of Fame in 1995. Mike, who is a member of the College Football Hall of Fame, died in 1967 from injuries suffered in an automobile accident.
Marlin was a first round selection in the 1961 NFL draft by the Los Angeles Rams and also was picked in the AFL draft by the Chargers (third round). He played tight end and linebacker for the Rams (1961-66 and 1971-72), Minnesota Vikings (1967), Washington Redskins (1968-70) and Philadelphia Eagles (1973).
After his playing days, he became a stock broker and insurance executive. He also was involved with the Trojan Football Alumni Club.
He is survived by his wife, Judy, and his 4 children, Marlin Jr., Kellee, David and Michelle.
His niece, Teri McKeever, was an All-American swimmer at USC who is now the head women's swimming coach at California.
The family asked that in lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to any of the following organizations in memory of Marlin McKeever: The High Hopes Head Trauma Center, 2953 Edinger, Tustin, Calif., 92780.; Crespi Carmelite High School, 5031 Alonzo Ave., Encino, Calif., 91316; the St. Mary Medical Center Foundation, Marlin McKeever Head Trauma Fund, 1050 Linden Ave., Long Beach, Calif., 90813, or Marv Goux, c/o USC Athletics, University Park Center, Los Angeles, Calif., 90089.

Federal prosecutors began laying out their case Monday against suspended Levy County commissioners William Samuel "Sammy" Yearty and Robert Anthony "Tony" Parker.
Federal prosecutors began laying out their case Monday against suspended Levy County commissioners William Samuel "Sammy" Yearty and Robert Anthony "Tony" Parker.
Yearty, 63, and Parker, 49, were arrested about 13 months ago and charged with conspiring and soliciting bribes and offering their approval for developments in exchange for money or other incentives.
Yearty was also charged with making false statements during the investigation.
The weeklong trial for the two men at the federal courthouse in Gainesville opened Monday with FBI Special Agent Jeffrey A. Thornburg testifying about how the men got involved in the undercover investigation.
Among the points that Thornburg made was that the entire investigation was initially approved after being sent up the FBI's chain of command and approved by everyone along the way up to and including the assistant director of the federal agency. And Thornburg noted that the investigation had to be re-authorized every six months.
According to Thornburg, Yearty and Parker were not specifically targeted early in the investigation but were among six or seven other officials being looked at by the FBI. Thornburg said former Dixie County Commissioner Alton Land directed agents to Yearty.
Land, who lost a re-election bid more than a year ago, is scheduled to be sentenced in early January after being convicted earlier this fall on charges similar to those Yearty and Parker are facing.
At Yearty's request, Parker was taken along on a trip to New York City, Thornburg testified.
The case against Yearty began unfolding on Dec. 14, 2006, when an undercover FBI agent from Newark New Jersey posed as a high-ranking employee of Gideon Development Corp. The FBI set up the sham company specifically for the Levy County investigation. Thornburg said an undercover agent who went by the name Sean went into the Levy County Courthouse in Bronson to get some basic information, like when the county commission met and who was on the commission. Coincidentally, he met Yearty that day, but reportedly had no additional contact with him for several months.
While questioning Thornburg, Assistant U.S. Attorney Greg McMahon requested a number of details about when and where the undercover agent was authorized to wear a wire to record conversations. The agent did not wear a wire when he went through the security checkpoint at the entrance to the courthouse or when flying with Yearty and Parker to New York.
"That would have opened the operation to potential compromise," Thornburg said. He claimed that tipping off the sheriff's office -- whose employees staff the checkpoint -- may have resulted in too many people knowing about the investigation.
The undercover agent did not wear a wire on the plane for fear of "a security incident at the airport on in the air that could have compromised the operation," Thornburg said.
However, McMahon did put into evidence about 80 recordings that reportedly covered contact between FBI agents and Yearty and Parker that lasted from a few minutes to several hours.
Thornburg also provided an overview of the activities that the undercover agent participated in with Yearty or Parker, including meals at regionally popular Bar-B-Q Bill's restaurant in Chiefland and The Lighthouse restaurant in Fanning Springs, as well as a banquet for the local enterprise zone.

the same for gallery wrap or normal wrap. Watch the video below by Ginger Cook a
couple of times and you will be stretching like a pro first time.
In the video she uses off the shelf slot-together stretcher bars,
but the principle is the same for stretching most canvasses onto
bars. Ours are delivered fully assembled - no key pieces or
assembly required.
How To Stretch a Canvas - FAQ:
What tools do I need?
A heavy duty stapler, a pencil. (see the video how-to)
It is often possible to tighten
part of a canvas, eg. a "dent" or dip by damping the back of it. As it dries
the area will shrink a little. Use this tip with caution, or you can
end up with a drum-tight canvas if you dampen the entire back!
Controversial but widely used trick of the framing trade.
Your canvas is not supposed to
be "tight as a drum" but just tight enough so that it does not sag.
If hanging your canvas
un-framed, it is best to use the "gallery wrap" method so that unsightly
staples are not visible. A gallery wrap is simply stapling to the back of
the stretcher bars instead of the sides.. This is actually the method
preferred by most picture framers nowadays providing there is adequate spare
canvas around the image area.
Cutting corners - yes or no?
In theory no. Because you only get one go at it, if you get it wrong, that's
the artwork ruined. "Hospital corners" are an easy way of making a
neat corner as shown in the video. But in practice many people carefully
trim the surplus corner material out and stick down the canvas with PVA
to achieve a smooth seam-free gallery wrap look, particularly on the
"wedged" or reversed gallery stretcher frames. so it's up to you.
Some cheap canvas prints use low
quality cheap inks. Be very careful that they do not rub off,
specially on the edge folds. This is not usually a problem with
original paintings or varnished/laminated or treated canvas prints.
Our stretcher bar frames arrive
ready assembled. They are very strong and due to their special shape and
design they are very resistant to twisting or warping in larger sizes than
cheaper offerings. Ours are fully glued and assembled, no wooden "keys" or
messing about. Any size available online up to 1 metre x 1 metre. Need

East Meets West
Monday, July 30, 2012
A recent study by the Pew Research Center shattered many longstanding conceptions about the nature of immigration to the United States. Many in the press, such as the New York Times, were most struck by one finding: Asians have now surpassed Hispanics as the largest group of immigrants to the U.S. (http://www.nytimes.com/2012/06/19/us/asians-surpass-hispanics-as-biggest-immigrant-wave.html). Experts assert this change has several factors behind it, such as the protracted economic woes of the United States, higher deportation rates of undocumented residents, tighter border enforcement, and a decline in birthrates in Mexico.
However, what many in the media failed to emphasize were the academic and attitudinal characteristics of Asian immigrants who have arrived in our country. According to Pew Research, roughly six-in-ten Asian immigrants between the ages of 25 to 64 who have come to the U.S. in recent years have at least a bachelor's degree (http://www.pewsocialtrends.org/2012/06/19/the-rise-of-asian-americans/). This is twice the percentage of non-Asian immigrants who have arrived here recently, making new Asian immigrants the highest educated group of immigrants in American history (and in our opinion, it also highlights that America continues to move toward an information-based economy that is fueled by innovation and advances in technology). Interestingly, while family reunification is the most common legal avenue to the U.S. for recent Asian arrivals – as well as all immigrants for that matter – Pew Research also found Asian immigrants are approximately three times more likely than other recent immigrants to receive their green cards through employer sponsorship.
Which brings us to some of the study's heartening findings. While immigrants from China, the Philippines, India, Vietnam, Korea, and Japan are certainly not a monolithic group, they share many similarities in their optimistic attitudes toward hard work and the potential to get ahead in America. By a margin of 69% to 58%, Asian Americans believe they can get ahead through hard work compared to their American counterparts. They are also more likely to start their own businesses, making them job creators compared with other previous waves of immigrants who came here with equally great ambitions but lacked the educational background to fuel their entrepreneurship.
Another encouraging observation from Pew Research's study was that despite dramatic improvements in the standard of living in their countries of origin, this Asian wave of immigration was nonetheless drawn to America not merely for economic opportunities, but also political and religious freedoms as well as the beneficial environment for raising children. (In fact, most felt the only area in which their home countries were superior to America is family ties.) So much for America's best days being behind her.
Lately, Americans have been stewing in doubt and despair about the future of their country. But as recent Asian arrivals show, the U.S. remains a vital center of promise and potential. When we all embrace this empowering perspective, we can fulfill the dreams that are unique to America, a place where freedom serves as a foundation to unleash the bridled passion to survive and thrive in an ever more complex and competitive world.

We have just had an amazing weekend with 70 baptisms across our congregations and 40 came forward to receive Christ at our combined service on Sunday night with John Cameron from Arise Church speaking.
Last week at our National Leadership Team meeting Pastor Boyd Ratnaraja from our South campus was elected to become the National Leader of Elim, to be inducted in this role at our One Conference in October. I have just been filling this role for one term. Congratulations Pastor Boyd.
Planning is well underway now for our One Conference; get in and book on the Elim NZ website while it is free.
We also had an amazing offering of over $60,000.00 to help build another school in Bihar India. This time it is to build a secondary school in this remote impoverished area.
Work has begun on building our new Middle School on our Golflands school campus. This is a $9m. project designed by Jasmax who also designed the Junior School on the same site. Our desire is to give our children the very best that we can in teachers, facilities and Christian atmosphere so they are well equipped to impact their world.
We have also signed for another block of land, this time in Opaheke/East Dury. This is a 6.2ha site, right next to the rail line and proposed Opaheke station, and right opposite new sports fields. It has the potential for us to pick up the land alongside also. Our plan is again for a church and school that is positioned for the huge growth that is to occur in this area.
The purchase of the land in Pukekohe is complete and we brought an extra smaller block attached to it. Our Pukekohe congregation will use one of the houses on the land as their church offices.
Our proposal to Integrate Hebron College and include it under Elim Christian College to become Elim Christian College Mount Albert Campus is with the Ministry of Education. Please continue to pray for a favourable outcome.
May 2018
Pastor Luke Brough
Senior Minister for Elim Christian Centre Auckland.

The question of atheism has confused the issue of religion, and post-religion. Moving beyond religion is not equated with atheism, and neither one, post-religion, or atheism, rule the possibility of a form of spirituality without theism or religion.
The question of what is spiritual would have long since been reclassified in the context of the natural (supernatural), but due to the confusions of scientism (and religion) the duality is often cast as the material versus the spiritual, missing the point. Of course, a better terminology is needed (as in the ancient Samkhya which decreed all spiritual subjects 'material').

The Lego Batman Movie (2017)
Watch The Lego Batman Movie (2017) Online Full Movie.
Within the Lego Universe, Batman continues to protect Gotham City and fight crime. During his latest mission to stop the Joker from destroying the city, he hurts his arch-rival's feelings by telling him he is not as important in his life as he thinks he is, leading Joker to seek the ultimate revenge on him. The following day, Batman's alter ego, Bruce Wayne, attends the city's winter gala, which is celebrating both the retirement of Commissioner Gordon and the ascension of his daughter Barbara as the city's new police commissioner, only to be infuriated by Barbara's plans to restructure the police to function without the need of Batman. Without warning, Joker crashes the party with the city's other villains, all of whom surrender, with the exception of Harley Quinn, who disappears during the confusion.
Suspecting his arch-rival is up to something, Batman plots to steal Superman's Phantom Zone Projector, a device that can banish anyone to the Phantom Zone which houses some of the most dangerous villains in the Lego multiverse. Just as he plans his heist of the device, Alfred intervenes and advises him to take charge of Dick Grayson, whom Bruce unwittingly adopted as his ward during the gala. Reluctantly agreeing to do so, Batman fosters Dick as Robin, whereupon the pair successfully recover the Projector from the Fortress of Solitude, and break into Arkham Asylum to send Joker to the Phantom Zone. Suspecting his arch-rival wanted to be sent there, Barbara locks up Batman and Robin for their reckless actions.
While the Projector is being seized as evidence, Harley steals it back as part of Joker's plan and frees him, allowing him to return to Gotham with all the villains he had recruited in the Phantom Zone. Realizing that the city does need him, Barbara releases Batman and Robin and teams up with them and Alfred to stop the Joker. Although Batman finds himself able to trust and rely on his new team upon reaching Wayne Island, he chooses to send them away rather than losing them like his parents. Upon facing him alone, Joker believes that Batman is incapable of change and zaps him to the Phantom Zone before stealing the Batcave's stash of confiscated bombs. Arriving in the Phantom Zone, Batman witnesses the harm his selfishness has caused to everyone and slowly accepts his greatest fear. Making a deal with the Zone's gatekeeper Phyllis, a talking Lego brick, to be allowed back to Gotham in order to retrieve the Zone's escaped prisoners, Batman arrives in time to save his teammates, apologizing to them for his actions, and requesting their help to stop Joker.
Realizing that Joker plans to use the explosives he took to destroy the city's Energy Facility, thus causing the city to come apart and be destroyed, Batman turns Barbara into Batgirl, before he, his team, and Gotham City's other villains, who felt neglected by Joker, manage to successfully send the escaped villains back to the Phantom Zone. However, the group fail to stop Joker's bombs going off as the explosion begins to tear the city apart at the plates beneath it. Knowing this was his fault, Batman reluctantly convinces Joker that he is the true reason for being the hero he is before they, their friends and allies, and the city's inhabitants, chain-link themselves together and pull the plates back together, saving the city.
With the city saved, Batman prepares to be taken back into the Phantom Zone to fulfill his bargain only to be rejected by Phyllis who chooses to let him remain after seeing how much he had changed in order to save everyone. Batman allows Joker and the rest of his rogues gallery to temporarily escape with the confidence that whenever they return, they will be no match for his new alliance with Robin, Batgirl, and Alfred.

News > First flight using biofuel takes to the air
Air travel is one of the bogey men in the climate change debate, pouring thousands of tonnes of CO2 and particulate matter into atmosphere as people fly around the world. It has always been assumed that due to the nature and quantities of the fuel used, the only approaches to improving matters were to improve the fuel efficiency of aircraft, or simply take fewer flights. Now the German airline Lufthansa has opened a new – and controversial – avenue. An Airbus A321 has completed a scheduled flight from Hamburg to Frankfurt using a 50-50 mix of conventional fuel and biofuel. The first time this has been done.
It is the start of a trial which will last six months entailing 1,200 flights in total. If successful, use of the biofuel mix – using biosynthetic kerosene – will be rolled out to some of the airlines other routes. According to Lufthansa the new fuel will reduce carbon emissions by 1,500 tonnes over the life of the programme. Christoph Franz, Lufthansa's chief executive said, "Lufthansa is the first airline worldwide to use biofuel in scheduled daily flight operations. We are thus continuing to steadily implement our proven and successful strategy for sustainability." Going on to tackle one of the most controversial aspects of biofuels Franz insisted that the trial did not entail using material which could otherwise be used for food production.
Environmental lobby groups have been sceptical of the programme, arguing that aviation's use of biofuels is less environmentally friendly than the aviation industry says. Robbie Blake, biofuels campaigner for Friends of the Earth Europe said. "Lufthansa is painting itself green with biofuels – but these flights are anything but environmentally friendly. Biofuels exacerbate poverty and hunger, drive land grabbing and deforestation, push up food prices, and make climate change worse." He continued. "Short-haul flights from Hamburg to Frankfurt, bio-fuelled or not, can never be green. Lufthansa's passengers, and the climate, would be better off catching the train."

Whenever a biggie is ready to arrive, we normally see market going through a lean patch as the viewers will be saving up for the biggie or biggies depending on the season and schedule of release dates. Right now, Telugu Cinema is going through a great lean patch and all this looks like silence before the storm.
Even the movies that had box office heroes like Nandamuri Balakrishna -Paisa Vasool, Chaitanya – Yuddham Sharanam and Allari Naresh – Meda Mida Abbayi, did not perform well enough. This week comedian turned hero Sunil came with Ungarala Rambabu, Sachin Joshi came with Vedevadu and Baahubali writer, K Vijayendra Prasad's Sri Valli also released. None of the movies gained any talk and even Nara Rohit's long delayed Kathalo Rajakumari also failed to ignite any kind of box office noise.
With every film that released in September failing and likes of Arjun Reddy, Fida settling down to the final weekends, the stage seems to be set for Jr. NTR's Jai Lava Kusa to pull out the maximum out of the pockets of Telugu film viewers. The openings should be massive with such calmness at the box office and we have to see what magic will Jr. NTR perform on the opening day!

Many religious or spiritual traditions break down the various parts/levels of the mind-body-soul construction. Here is the mystic Rudolf Steiner's insight.
He calls it the "Trifold Man" which is linked to the Holy Trinity: Father, Son, Holy Spirit.
The Father is the universal/cosmic/God Force, which is likened to the Spirit aspect of ourselves.
The Son is creation/manifestation, likened to our Bodies.
The Holy Spirit is the Bridge/the Vehicle by which the Father and the Son reach each other, likened to our Soul aspect.
In another analogy, the Body is the instrument, the Soul is the musician, and the Spirit is the music.
When we learn how to play our instrument and make the correctly tuned music (in tune with the Music of the Spheres – the song of the Universe/God), we become "Maestro" – Master, Magician. This is the Great Work; the alchemical Transformation. This is the Goal of Human Existence.
Let's now break down the Trifold Man into its three aspects, each of which are broken down further into three sub-aspects:
a) Physical body (the "matter") which is the seen element and likened to the mineral world, which relates to the state of death.
b) Etheric/Life Body (the "living") which is the unseen element behind the seen, likened to the plant world, which he relates to the state of unconsciousness.
c) Astral Body (the "spark") which is consciousness, making humans different from the plants and minerals, giving us motion, emotion, sensitivity, and opening us up to stellar influences. When we sleep, our Astral body leaves our physical body (the Etheric body remains with the physical body during sleep) and returns to the "spirit world" – the Source – to be replenished and nourished, ready for another day when we wake up, returned to our bodies, rested. This body is likened to the animal world, which Steiner relates to the state of subconsciousness.
II) THE SOUL: aka the "Ego" or the "I" -
This can get a little tricky, because the Soul is the Ego and the "I", which work in tandem, yet Steiner gives them subtle differences. Nonetheless they all work as the Bridge/Vehicle I spoke of above, connecting Heaven and Earth/ Divine and Human/Macro and Micro. The vehicle of the "I" (individuality), which "travels across" this bridge, is the Ego (self-awareness). To further complicate things, there is a sort of overlap between the Soul and the most subtle of the Bodies, the Astral. I suppose this overlap is what actually is the "physical" – if we can use that word – connection between these individuated parts of Self.
Here's an alchemical way of looking at it: The Ego is the Fire element – the spark of consciousness which illuminates man intellectually and enlivens his/her mind. The "I" is the Water element – the drop of the Divine from the Divine's ocean; the God within, the Hidden Name, the Private Self.
When we combine the fire and the water symbols, we get the 6-pointed star, or the Star of David as it is often known, which is also the symbol of the Anahata chakra – the Heart Center.
The Heart Center is in fact the energetic bridge between the lower and upper chakras, between the carnal and the spiritual energy centers of the body.
The anahata is also frequently related to Christ, who said of himself, "I am the Way…no one gets to the Father except through me." This clearly relates the Bridge/Vehicle symbol to me.
The Soul is what Steiner calls the "enduring quality" of the human being. It is the element of the human being which is permanent. It is responsible for our memories, for bringing in experiences from the phenomenal world and making them our own; in other words, relevant to our personal mythos and learning. Thus it is responsible for our individuality, and relates it to the state of self-consciousness.
Here's how the breakdown goes:
a) Soul plus the Astral Body is called Sentient Soul
b) Soul plus the Ego is called Intellectual/Mind Soul (alchemical Fire)
c) Soul plus "I" is called Conscious/Spiritual Soul (alchemical Water)
The Ego and the "I" are uniquely human. Self-awareness creates a sense of unity in one's life (past memory and present state of being) so that we can continue to build upon our experiences. They help us interpret perceptions we take in through our senses.
The Soul is considered the "Holy of Holies" in that nothing external to our own selves has access to it.
The Spirit level of our Selves is about Mastery. It exists regardless of our ability to Master ourselves, but when we are able to consciously take the reigns of our Spirit – fully responsible – we are Fully Human. This is the level of being human we are intended to evolve into. A fully aligned Self with our Spirit is the second birth – the true meaning of being "born again in the spirit." You might also call this enlightenment in the most literal sense of the word, infusing light (the fire element: awareness, intellect, our mind) with our Spirits.
Steiner speaks of three "veils" that are penetrated, the first being the veil of the Astral body, which is the easiest to penetrate because it is the most subtle. The veils become increasingly more difficult to enlighten because of their increasing density.
a) Spirit-Self (aka manas) – Combining Ego with Astral Body/"The Spark"
When the individual (the "I") by way of the soul ("Ego") works upon the Astral body, it (the Astral body) becomes transformed through self-awareness and active, participatory will. The mastery on this level is control of emotions and animal drives.
b) Life-Spirit (aka Budhi) – Combining Ego with Etheric Body/"The Living"
When the individual (the "I") by way of the soul ("Ego") acts upon the Etheric body via powerful impressions such as religion and art forms, we achieve the mastery of our temperament and the way experiences dictate who we are and how we behave.
c) Spirit-Man (aka Atman) – Combining Ego with Physical Body/"The Matter"
This is the highest level of human achievement required if the human is to master his/herself. This is Alchemical Mastery, the ultimate magical power on Earth, mastery over matter. This is the 3rd Veil, which is the hardest to enlighten because, of course, matter is the most dense part of ourselves/creation.
The entire process of the Trifold Man is one of Spiritual Initiation, which can be summed up as thus: The conscious (active/aware) participation with our own spiritual evolution by transforming our Astral Body into the Spirit-Self and the Etheric Body into the Life-Spirit. This is all accomplished via the workings of the "I"/Ego upon the Soul, which, through the Astral Body, is connected to our Physical Bodies. Once fully transformed, we become Spirit-Man, master of our own incarnation with the ability to work directly with the Father and the Son for the spiritual evolution of both humanity and the entire Cosmos. This is ultimate freedom, and is also ultimate cooperation with "God's Will." It is conscious universal participation. As Spirit-Man, we are co-creators, helping to evolve humanity and the cosmos itself!
Phew! You got all that?

Great Happens Here
Leader in Me at LAMS
Lehigh Acres Middle School is excited to continue our journey in fostering leadership qualities among our LAMS Scholars through Leader in Me. Our school leadership program is built on Stephen Covey's 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.
What is Leader in Me?
The Leader in Me is not an event, program, or curriculum. It is an ubiquitous leadership development—meaning everywhere and all the time. The LAMS faculty teaches leadership qualities with an integrated approach and with the belief that every student is capable of being a leader.
What does Leader in Me look like at LAMS?
To aid in this culture shift the Bruin Bell Schedule has been altered to incorporate Leader In Me Monday once a month. This is typically the last Monday of each month. This ensures ALL Bruins, regardless of number of electives granted or test scores, are now advantaged to participate in a Leader in Me club. Students select their club and report to that classroom on Leader In Me Mondays.nAdditionally, members of the 6th Grade Academy will take part in a book study of Stephen Covey's 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.
Why does my child need Leader in Me?
At Lehigh Acres Middle School we strive not only toward academic success but personal success as well. Through the ultilization of the 7 habits LAMS scholars are better prepared for advancement in programs such as AVID, Cambridge, and STEAM. Futhermore these habits carry over postive achievements in high school, college, and life turning our LMAS scholars into productive adult citizens.
