Movie News: Help The Owlman Cometh With LORD OF TEARS Kickstarter Campaign…
Lord of Tears, a supernatural horror film set in the Scottish Highlands is set to be unleashed on the Festival circuit later this year and you can be a part of it, by joining their Kickstarter campaign.
Unlike a lot of campaigns, the film is already completed, and the funds will go to further polish the finished product and market the film. Amongst the usual rewards of DVD, Blu-ray and T-shirts, one pledger could walk away with the actual Owlman costume used in the film.
Check out the atmospheric trailer:
And, from the press release:
"Lord of Tears takes its inspiration from the traditional British Gothic ghost story, but adds a Celtic twist with its Highland setting and pagan themes. Writer Sarah Daly describes the film as 'The Wicker Man meets The Woman in Black'.
The film is a startling, psychological, supernatural thriller set against the ominous backdrop of a cursed highland estate. The film stars David Schofield (Gladiator, Pirates of the Caribbean) Lexy Hulme (500 Days of Summer) and Scottish actor Euan Douglas in his feature début.
It tells the chilling story of James Findlay (Douglas), a school teacher plagued by recurring nightmares of a mysterious and unsettling entity. Suspecting that his visions are linked to a dark incident in his past, James returns to his childhood home, a notorious mansion in the Scottish Highlands. There, he finds love in the form of aspiring dancer Evie Turner (Hulme) who helps him to unravel the dark history of the house. But, when James finally uncovers the disturbing truth behind his dreams, he must fight to survive the brutal consequences of his curiosity…
Director Lawrie Brewster says of the film 'With this film I wanted to tell the type of story I enjoy watching, the creepy type of thriller that gets under your skin, with unexpected twists, and memorable and disturbing supernatural inspired imagery. We take inspiration from classic British chillers such as The Haunting and The Legend of Hell House whilst adding our own, Scottish Celtic twist to the mix.
Writer/Director team Sarah Daly and Lawrie Brewster have worked together on a number of projects including their debut feature White Out and the festival favourite Morgan M. Morgansen short films starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Channing Tatum and Lexy Hulme".

Key Personnel - C. Robert Kline, PhD
C. Robert Kline, PhD
President and Managing Member, Kline Technical Consulting, LLC
Bob was a pioneer in machine intelligence, a former college professor, and a veteran government program manager. He was a professor at The University of Texas and a guest professor at Université de Neuchâtel, University of Houston, and St. John's University. Kline served the US Office of Naval Research/Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), the Strategic Defense Initiative (now BMDO), the US Department of Defense Tri-Service AI Program, and the National Security Agency.
Dr. Kline's work in higher cortical functions in the 1960s, which informed twenty years of work in children's traumatic aphasia, led to several early breakthroughs in computer intercept and analysis of signals. Those breakthroughs informed his continuing work since 1966 with the US government at the National Security Agency, the National Nuclear Security Administration, and the Department of Defense.
Dr. Kline was lead system engineer on 9 classified electronic cyber warfare programs, lead engineer on the Worldwide Military Command and Control System and its TEMPEST, Security, and LAN-WAN Upgrades. This followed a three year role as one of two staff leaders in the US Army Electronic Warfare Helicopter program (Warrenton, Virginia).
He was the National Science Foundation's technical auditor on Project IceCube, the international neutrino / muon observatory (Antarctica). He served as lead Evaluator for the US Military National Ceramics Readiness Board (two presidents). (Ceramics and ceramic precursors are critical to military hardware - from weapons to electronic parts to aeronautical assemblies to high power switches.)
He designed, built, rolled out, and transitioned the SDIO ("Star Wars") Information System [now BMDO] with System High TOP SECRET voice, data and video. This worldwide network connected every firing platform in the inventory with 14 US sites and the CIA, White House, and the Pentagon.
The governments of Israel and the Republic of China gave him awards for work in specialty materials, and Dr. Kline has received military and civilian awards in the USA. He has worked in nine foreign countries for the US government, specifically in the area of counterterrorism involving explosive and radioactive/nuclear materials in Russia, India, Israel, Japan, Republic of China, Republic of Korea, Germany, The Netherlands, and Thailand.
He worked with officers/ministers in the Government of India in 1992–95 to reduce environmental pollution resulting from internal combustion engines. He worked with personnel at the Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research (Chennai/Kalpakkam) and Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (Trombay), from 1986–97.
Dr. Kline is involved in two classified patents, several recently issued patents and has a number of pending patents. One of the recent patents was awarded to the team of inventors of a composite projectile which implements a novel method of welding dissimilar energetic metals; one was as inventor of a new armor material packaging technique (proven by USG); and one as inventor of a new material made from precursor ceramic matrix composites.
His doctorate is from the University of North Carolina; he also earned A.B., B.S., and M.Ed. degrees. He was inducted in 1976 into the National Humanities Faculty.

The Benedictine women's volleyball team defeated conference opponent Concordia University Chicago in three straight sets to earn the team a win on Senior Night. This marked Benedictine's fifth conference victory of the season.
"Tuesday night was a big win for us. It was our senior night and it's always nice to send your seniors out with a win," Head Coach Jennifer Wildes said, "Right now we are focused on getting better every day and playing our best ball of the season".
Benedictine started the first set well advancing up by 2-0 which started a lead they would not relinquish until their 25-15 set victory. The second set was a bit more dramatic as the set saw five ties and two lead changes. Benedictine won the last set with 25-13. The strong finish saw Benedictine made 13 kills with only three errors in the final set.
"We came in knowing that we had to play our game," Sophomore Emily Chitwood said, "We did an amazing job at not letting the ball drop. As a whole we took a step forward and put ourselves in a great spot for conference."
Sophomore Erin Wiegand is in the lead with 12 kills while Junior Kara Epping made 11 kills and two block assists. Senior Beckie Whitmarsh followed with seven kills and five digs. Senior Kelcey Adams led Benedictine with 28 assists and also recorded five digs. Freshman Alyssa O'Boyle led the Benedictine defense with eight digs while Junior Caitlyn Martin recorded six digs of her own. Senior Ashley Karsten finished the conference match with making three aces and two block assists. The Benedictine's women's volleyball team will be up against Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) at 2 p.m. and Milwaukee School of Engineering at 8 p.m. at the Lisle Dan and Ada Rice Center on Friday October 30.

Roberts Williams: dominant force
In Wales, John Roberts Williams was a combination of Hugh Cudlipp, Alistair Cooke and much more: the dominant Welsh-language journalist of his age.
Until shortly before his death at 90, he had broadcast an unbroken weekly comment slot for BBC Radio Cymru for almost 29 years.
While many will remember him for these wry broad-ranging talks, when his memorable but slightly funereal voice masked an incisive mind and sly wit, his earlier contribution was even greater.
As editor from 1945 to 1962, he transformed the national weekly, Y Cymro (The Welshman), into amass-selling broadsheet.
With a profound understanding of Welsh language communities, he also innovated with the sports coverage, photo-journalism and competitions of a modern popular newspaper.
With several local editions, and despite facing the almost intractable problems of working in a language which is dominated by a powerful neighbour, Y Cymro reached an unprecedented circulation level of 27,000.
As editor, he showed the wide vision and range of interests which made him a rounded personality as well as a complete journalist.
"He had a broad humanity," said one of his newspaper protegés, Dyfed Evans.
Even in 1947, he had shown his awareness of new media, by producing one of the first Welsh language feature films, Yr Etifeddiaeth (Heritage).
So his 1962 move to become news editor of the ambitious but ill-fated commercial station Teledu Cymru (Wales Television) was almost inevitable.
After its collapse, he became editor of the BBC's flagship Welsh-language topical daily programme, Heddiw (Today) .
This was a difficult time for him personally, as he lost his wife to the same cancer that would later take his daughter, both in early middle age.
Later, as head of the BBC in Bangor, not far from his beloved home region of Eifionydd, John Roberts Williams maintained a strong strand of popular programmes rooted in a deep culture.
His immense knowledge, both of Wales and the world, was one of his great strengths.
"I always left him astounded at the breadth of his mind," said journalist Alun Rhys who often, in the last few weeks, had helped him record his radio column from his hospital bed. "He was an incredible man."
John Roberts Williams himself said that he had entered journalism in the 1930s in the "twilight of the gods", working with men who had pioneered Welsh-medium journalism at a time when the language had almost one million speakers.
He joins the pantheon.

CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – Gwen Adams became the latest member of SIUE's 1,000-point club Thursday as the women's basketball Cougars opened Ohio Valley Conference play with a 61-38 victory at Austin Peay.
Adams hit the 1,000-point mark at 3:29 mark of the third quarter.
"In the first half I was not making my free throws, it was stressful," said Adams. "But my teammates told me to keep my focus and not worry about it. After I hit it, I feel like it gave us momentum as a team."
"I was proud of Gwen getting into the 1,000-point club," said SIUE Head Coach Paula Buscher, whose team improved to 1-0 in the OVC and 4-8 overall. "We have had two of them get it this year (also Donshel Beck). It's one of those great individual accomplishments, and it's even better when you come out with the win."
SIUE's defense was front and center in the OVC opener, holding Austin Peay to 27.9 percent shooting for the game (12-43).
It also was the lowest point total SIUE has allowed to an opponent in any OVC game since joining the league. The previous low was 39 against Jacksonville State in SIUE's first OVC game Dec. 31, 2011.
"It was good to open up with a win," said Buscher. "Now we have to enjoy it tonight, regroup tomorrow and get back to work."
Buscher credited SIUE's team communication for the strong defensive effort.
"I thought they did a great job with that," said Buscher. "All in all, our defense was rock solid."
SIUE's offense shot 19 of 43 from the field (44.2 percent) for the game. Lauren White led all scorers with 16 points. Beck added 13.
The Cougars opened the game with a slim 13-9 lead after the first period on 5-of-9 shooting from the field. Neither team presented much offense in the second quarter although the Cougars outscored the Governors 8-7 in the period.
Buscher said she challenged her team to keep up its defensive pressure and set the tone for the second half.
The Cougars did so by pushing the lead to double digits at the 4:55 mark of the third period on a jumper by White.
SIUE turned up the offense with the first nine points of the fourth quarter on a three-pointer by White, two baskets by Beck and a layup by Zaria Whitlock, pushing the lead to 51-30 with 7:49 to play.
Falon Baker, who tossed in nine points, was the leading scorer for Austin Peay, now 7-5 overall and 0-1 in the OVC.
The Cougars also dominated the boards 38-18 yet turned the ball over 26 times.
"We have to sharpen up our game," admitted Buscher. "But I give our team a lot of credit. I was very happy with the last 20 minutes."
SIUE continues OVC play Saturday with a 5 p.m. contest at Murray State.

Christmas is a favorite holiday for many people. Crafters esp. love this time of year to create wonderful handmade Christmas ornaments.
Children can participate in making handmade Christmas ornaments. It can be a rewarding family time experience for everyone involved. You will be teaching them that not everything has to be store bought and they can take pride in a job well done! Creating ornaments would be an excellent tradition to start with your family.
Many items can be used for this type of project. Certainly your fabric or department store will have many items you can purchase, but you can also use things from around your home, both inside and out. Everything from acorns to tree branches can be used from the outdoors. If you're an avid crafter chances are you probably already have scrapes of fabric, yarn, and ribbon to use.
You can make handmade Christmas ornaments from candies or cookies also. There are cookie cutters and molds you can buy to create a wide assortment of shapes; of course gingerbread men and candy canes are the most popular. And don't forget the glitter! Christmas is all about the glitter!
Adding that special touch to your Holiday decorations can really be felt by your family and guests. Even projects that didn't turn out as planned can spark laughter and conversation.
Wikipedia says: "The first decorated trees were adorned with apples, strings of popcorn, white candy canes and pastries in the shapes of stars, hearts and flowers. Glass baubles were first made in Lauscha, Germany, by Hans Greiner. He produced garlands of glass beads similar to the popcorn strands and tin figures that could be hung on trees."
Making handmade Christmas ornaments can cost very little. They can be very simple and easy to make or be as complicated and as elaborate as your skill allows.

Bébé Francophile Starter Kit
Here I am, six months along with this growing bump, and only a few more to go before I meet my petit garçon. So far, life has felt like an ongoing Barbara Walters special. Never have I attracted such attention- so many questions, so many opinions. All of which are well-intention certainly, but my brain, seemingly on sabbatical since the nano-second I heard garçon's teensy heart patter, is having a rough time processing and organizing it all. The methods. The products. My body. The baby's not born yet, so I don't know how sleep training will go. I don't think he even knows. Some carriages have cup-holders and a storage tray, but they aren't easy to maneuver. Then, there's that aerodynamic NASA carriage, with all the goodies a parent could need, but it costs eight-thousand dollars and a second mortgage. Lest I forget to mention that every infant product seems to have the –oopie, -oppy, -ippy sounding suffix. They all sound uniformly ridiculous. I am mixing my Boppys, Snoogles, and Tommee Tippies. Right now, my registry reads like a Dr. Seuss book, but only if Dr. Seuss speed-guzzled about six consecutive bottles of Bordeaux on an empty stomach. Yikes. There is so much… stuff… out there for such a tiny being. As long as his pacifiers aren't covered in razor blades, I'm going to simply try to go with the flow on this. My petit garçon just needs to be healthy, and we'll go from there.
That being said, the one prospect of parenthood that has stubbornly occupied my thoughts since day one is how I'm going to raise a decent human being. I'm going through that phase of anxiety where I question whether or not skipping a family game night of Chutes and Ladders will turn my child into a sociopath adult who enjoys robbing banks in clown suits. That kind of thing. Realistically, I know that won't happen.
…It won't… right?!?
After some thought, the solution was clear- introduce him to global concepts and cultures as soon as possible. What I really mean here is that there is no time better than infancy to turn your child into a francophile. Perhaps the petit garçon won't be as diehard as his maman, and that's okay, but the benefits of promoting an appreciation for cultural diversity will, if anything, make him a more tolerant human being. I hope. That's the basic goal here.
Then, I started shopping…
And shopping.
And shopping.
Surround him with French things! Bien sûr! Onesies with phrases. Language skills… check! Stories based abroad. Curiosity… check! Authentic toys. Sensory stimulation… check! This is all a great start, and I'm proud to call it my own personal Bébé Francophile Starter Kit:
- Mon Petit Chou Onesie: As a traditional french term of endearment that literally translates to 'my little cabbage', I know I'll be calling my little guy 'mon petit chou' religiously. The Etsy shop, LucyandEvelyn, created and managed by a francophile-anglophile duo, produces precious fair-trade organic onesies based on their own cultural passions. This onesie is so soft to the touch, I'm tempted to request one for adults! Currently, the Mon Petit Chou onesie seems to be sold out, but that doesn't mean there's a shortage of other delightful infant francophile attire. Just see for yourself!
- Sophie la Girafe: Sophie is everywhere. She's a celebrity among les petits worldwide. Children love her for soothing their teething woes. Choose any major U.S. retailer such as Target, Wal-Mart, Babies-R-Us, etc., and chances are you've seen her hanging out on a shelf. Did you know her origins actually begin France? She's been around since 1961 in her original form of 100% natural rubber. Click on the link for Sophie's full story.
- Jacadi Swaddle Blankets: Jacadi is an upscale Parisian children's clothing retailer; however, you will find them dispersed across major cities the United States. I was happy to learn that a Jacadi exists on Newbury Street in Boston, a mere fifteen-minute walk from my office. This could be potentially dangerous, as their soft-palette clothing is not typically for the frugal spender. Jacadi is more expensive than the average children's clothing store; however, if you sign-up for their emails, you'll notice they frequently have great sales and coupons. The blankets shown above are different from the link provided. I couldn't seem to find the Petit Garçon blankets in the online shop. If you're looking for a nice and enchanting gift for an expecting loved one, these will do the trick. Worry not- we're going to discuss Jacadi more in a later post. Stay tuned!
- Paris Up, Up and Away: If you plan on gifting your favorite francophile child a book other than Le Petit Prince, this is THE book. Not only is it a wonderfully visual way to introduce children to Paris, but it's also a captivating work of art. By Hélène Druvert, a French illustrator and paper-cutter, this stunning story follows the Eiffel Tower around iconic Parisian neighborhoods.
- Jacadi Rattle: This is the second cameo that Jacadi makes in this starter kit simply because I couldn't contain myself while in the store. Soft and sweet, this little pup will make a precious keepsake. That spot around his eye could melt a deep frost! All together now, "Awww".
Et voila! This is just the beginning. Will the baby understand any of this? Probably not. However, I do believe that this subtle introduction will make a profound difference somewhere, somehow. I do. That's the only element of certainty I have on this new journey. I may not have the faintest idea of what a Bumbo actually does, but I'm confident that Petit Garçon will maintain a worldly appreciation.
What are your thoughts? How would you begin to integrate a child into different cultures? Do you think it makes a difference? Feel free to comment below.
À la prochaine.

The Chad Valley Remote Control Excavator is a massive 70cm remote control with very large digger arm and working scoop, it also features light-up effects and heavy duty construction sounds.
The remote control (which is unfortunately attached to the excavator via a wire) functions the excavator to move forward back, left and right movement of the independent caterpillar tracks. With separate buttons to control the digger arm and the rotating cabin.
The monsters absolutely love this toy! I loved that it just came out of the box and it was ready to play with, obliviously after we added batteries...but what I mean is we didn't have to fix bits together. We loved the little details, like the mud splashed up the sides. We have played in the garden 'digging' leaves (I managed to talk them out of taking the brand new toy in the mud...mean Mummy!) and I got talked into letting them take it up the beach next week when we are watching the diggers dig up the beach for the beach racing!
Actual size: H34, W63, L24cm. Batteries required: 6 x AA (not included). Recommended for 3 years and over.
Disclaimer: We were sent this toy as part of the Chad Valley Play Panel, all images, thoughts and opinions are our own. Find out more about the play panel by clicking the image link in my sidebar.

Hello. I'm still here. Just thought I'd check in and let you know that I haven't dropped off the face of the earth, I'm just struggling with anything creative at the moment as my mind is still very much preoccupied with "Joe stuff". We're all fine, and he's happy but I am finding the whole palaver of trying to get the appropriate help for him in school to be extremely draining. Long story short - our request for statutory assessment was turned down, we are going to apply again but in the meantime his teachers are telling me on a weekly basis that he needs more help, but it could be 6 months or more before he gets it, if at all. All incredibly boring and frustrating and it has left me wondering if he might be better off being home schooled. Not a decision I would take lightly, but it's a possibility.
In the meantime, I've been unable to focus much on anything else - hence no blogging and no sewing either. However, hopefully that is going to change as I got my partner allocation for the Mouthy Stitches swap at the weekend, so that will be good to have something to take my mind off all the other stuff! It's a secret swap, so I obviously can't reveal who I'm making for, but I have done a bit of stalking and am starting to form a few ideas about what to make.
This morning I had a little rummage around in the fabric cupboard and came up with this selection - purple linen teamed with some of the Outfoxed prints by Lizzy House. Even if my partner shows no interest in this, I will probably make something with it anyway, as I think they go beautifully together!
have a great week

LAGOS (Reuters) - Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari has sent letter to parliament notifying lawmakers that he has resumed his duties, his spokesman said on Monday.
It follows the president's return on Friday after medical leave in Britain that lasted nearly two months. His spokesman Femi Adesina, in a message posted on Twitter, said Buhari would receive a briefing from the vice president "in a short while".

Bequeathal Program provides rare opportunities for students, doctors
To "bequeath" is the act of giving or handing down personal property to another. The donors in this case are the deceased. The legal next of kin honoring the wishes of the donors is an immeasurable gift.
Even without a formal public relations department or advertising, the University of Louisville's Body Bequeathal program has donors lined up and waiting to give donations. According to Dr. Nicole Herring and Dr. Jennifer Brueckner, the list of enrolled donors is close to six thousand.
"We don't do a whole lot of public relations. We're actually very lucky that we have a strong program. It's primarily word of mouth," said Dr. Nicole Herring, the director of the bequeathal program and the fresh tissue facility.
Dr. Jennifer Brueckner, the vice-chair of the department, said, "The uniqueness of the donors is that upon their death they are contributing to the betterment of the medical community. The donors give their bodies to the university so that medical and dental students can literally practice how to become well trained doctors, dentists, surgeons and researchers. It is not enough that instructions be limited to books or models. Hands-on orientations are real." She said that physically examining a real heart that has been surgically repaired can only happen through these type of donations.
Practicing physicians and residents also benefit from the program. The fresh tissue lab serves as a resource where residents and physicians can come to refresh and hone their skills. She said they can practice prior to going into surgery on a live patient.
Respect and professional conduct is required of the students who work with the donors. Brueckner said that even though the donors are expired they still are the loved ones of the families that complied with their wishes to donate. She said they expect the same professionalism towards the donor as they would a living patient.
The cost to donate is free for families of donors living within Jefferson, Clark, and Floyd Counties. All outside of those counties have to pay a per mile transportation charge.
Herring said there are restrictions to who can be a donor. For storage and safety, the very tall and the morbidly obese are precluded from donating, along with those that have infectious diseases.
Herring and Brueckner both say they are proud of the manner in which they take excellent care of the donors. They are strong supporters of the high level of learning that occurs with cadaver donations. They both agree that these are immeasurable gifts for the students and the community.
Additional information regarding the Bequeathal program can be obtained from the website.

After hosting and participating in several full day and overnight retreats, I recognised the need people have for a little mini retreat experience from time to time. A space to be still and quiet and take time just for yourself.
My Mini Retreats involve some gentle stretching and movement, guided meditation and breathing tips and techniques. There is also some time to enjoy a cup of herbal (or ordinary) tea and a snack together. Each Mini Retreat lasts around 2 hours and the content will be slightly different for each one, but always focussed around calming the mind and tips on how to live with less stress.
If you are part of a group that you think may benefit from a Mini Retreat experience, please get in touch to see what can be arranged. I can create bespoke events to cater for your group's specific requirements.
You can find details and book your place at my next Mini Retreat HERE

text: I have had a bad back for a long time. There are a lot of people that I know who have a bad back and they just deal with it. I like to do my everyday stretches to help my back feel better. When you stretch out muscles in your back, it helps to align and strengthen the spine. I think that a lot of people don't have chiropractors so they don't know this. I like to go and see one when my back is not feeling well. I did not grow up going to one, so when someone told me to go to their doctor, I was a little wary. I did not think that alternative help was going to make me feel any different. Continue reading

- About Hunger
- How to End Hunger
- Our Impact
- Get Involved
Washington, D.C. – Analysis released by Bread for the World today shows that Latinos living in the United States have much higher rates of hunger and poverty than the general population.
In 2016, 18.5 percent of Latino households struggled to put food on the table compared to 12.3 percent of households nationwide. More than 19 percent of Latinos lived below the poverty line compared to the overall poverty rate of 12.7 percent.
"Latinos make significant contributions to our country. Yet, despite their hard work, there are millions of families who are unable to make ends meet," said Bishop Jose Garcia, senior advisor at Bread for the World. "Latinos have played a key role in strengthening the U.S. economy. With a stronger economy, our nation can better invest in programs that reduce hunger and poverty."
According to the latest U.S. Census data, 1 in 5 Latino households struggles to put food on the table–almost double the rate for white households. Latino children are nearly twice as likely to have no access to nutritious food as white children. In addition, 30 percent of households headed by an undocumented Latino, and almost 35 percent of female-headed Latino households, live below the poverty line.
Despite slowly declining poverty rates, Latino families are still more likely to struggle. Studies indicate that Latinos are paid lower wages and have higher rates of unemployment.
"Latinos have done their part," Garcia said. "Now, our leaders should do theirs by making key investments in safety net programs—not cuts. Budget cuts being discussed in Congress weaken Latino communities and hurts our nation's ability to end hunger."
To end hunger and poverty in the United States by 2030, our country needs to support a budget that improves the lives of men, women, and children.
Unfortunately, the Trump administration and Congress are proposing dramatic cuts to programs that promote economic opportunity or provide food...

Character Lore
Welcome back everyone to another Destiny Lore episode. Today we are covering the legend of the Ahamkara. The video will cover where these dragon-like creatures came from and why they were hunted to extinction. There are portions of speculation throughout, so I will make sure you are aware of what is said in the grimoire cards and what is my own interpretation or speculation. If you want greater clarity of direct quotes, place the subtitles on and you will be able to see the quotation marks. Also, I do not believe these are the Ahamkara on Venus, and the one you see in the Tower, I believe are the Roc, yes as the Vanguard strike playlist the Roc. Roc in mythology are giant legendary birds of prey. Now that, that's out of the way, we will begin.
When answering the question, where did the Ahamkara come from?, two griomire cards come to mind. We are told by the Ghost Fragment: Warlock card
"that much life sprang up when the Traveler came"
and one of those life forms, was the Ahamkara. The Golden Age grimoire card also reinforces that
"new forms of life"
were born during the Golden Age. It appears that the Traveler not only had the ability to terraform planets but also create new life. It could have been that the Traveler created the Ahamkara intentionally or it may have been unintentional and the shear act of changing planets gave birth to a new species.
However, it seems too simplistic that the act of changing a planet gave birth to a new species, and not just any species, a being that could consume reality, a being that possessed enormous power and knowledge, the dragon-like species, the Ahamkara. There is an alternative interpretation and speculation to how the Ahamkara came to be. This speculation suggests that the Ahamkara came from the Void. To understand this, we must first understand the void.
The Voidwalker grimoire card states that
"The traveler came out of the void that surrounds all things"
and the flavor text reads
"Those who have stared into the Void are not bound by the laws of space and time."
The Void, grimoire card gives us further insight into what the void is
"The universe is defined by fundamental forces. Beneath the world of light and matter lies the vacuum, and the vast dark secrets that it contains. In the understanding of this vacuum lies the secret of Void Light".
There is evidence that the void is also linked to the Vex or the Vex have some control over the void. The Undying Mind grimoire card says that
"We are starting to believe that time is home to the Vex, and somewhere in those unmappable voids dwell their undying minds. [The Vex] could quite possibly be resealing the Black Garden back into whatever void it once hid".
This may also indicate that things can be trapped or hidden within the void, as the Black Garden was, it was not on any map known to space and time.
At the very least in the Destiny world, the Void relates to another dimension, universe or reality. I personally believe that the void is the empty space between dimensions, between universes and when the Traveler jumped to our system it had to pass through the void. The speculation is, as the Traveler passed through void and entered our system, it was followed by something, and that was the Ahamkara.
The reason why this is thought, is if we read the flavor text for the Skull of Dire Ahamkara, it says
"Reality is the finest flesh, oh bearer mine. And are you not… hungy?",
it seems fitting that creature of the void would consume reality, feed off reality, making it nothing, just like the void. In addition the Ghost Fragment Legends 3 card says that Ahamkara possess great knowledge and that
"they knew answers to questions no one had known to ask."
The void is often considered a place where great knowledge can be obtained, were knowledge can be found from nothing. So maybe the Ahamkara have this great knowledge because they passed through the void. This is reinforced by the behaviour of Warlocks, they often attempt to enter this void to gain knowledge, some like Punjari, a thanatonaut intentional die to enter the void, and Punjari has vision of the Black Garden. Other Warlocks who harness the power of Radiance, learn to
"pluck themselves from nothingness".
All this to understand the truth, to gain knowledge, to understand these dark secretes, hidden within void. So it seems fitting to speculate that the Ahamkara who possess immense knowledge have some connection to the void. Finally, the Voidfang Vestmetns Warlock armour appears to be the greatest piece of evidence for the Ahamkara originating from the void. It's flavor text reads
the reference to teeth is a direct reference to the Ahamkara. The Ahamkara spine exotic item, says
"fill the world with teeth".
If you then assume that the Vestments are related to Ahamkara, the word VOIDfang, gives some pretty strong indication that the Ahamkara are connected in some way to the void.
Regardless of what you believe, the Traveler brought the Ahamkara into existence, so lets move on to why they were hunted into extinction. The Ghost Fragment: Warlock card says
"Do you know the legends? The dragon that made promises?"
and Ghost Fragment Legends 3 card says
"Power had been obtained from the bargains".
These two pieces of information implies that the Ahamkara were giving guardians knowledge and power, they were trading these abilities for something, we do not know what the guardians had to give in return for this power, however bargains were made.
It would make sense that our curious Warlocks would have an internal drive to seek the Ahamkara to gain knowledge but we must also question whether the guardians were lured to the Ahmakara. The Ghost Fragment Legends 3 card says that after the great hunt, after their extinction
"their call [was] silenced, their solipsistic flatteries erased".
Solipsistic relates to solipsism and is the extreme pre-occupation with one self and indulgence in one self-desire, egoistic, self-absorption. Guardians were attracted to the Ahamkara, the Ahmakara somehow faltered their egos, enhanced their self-obsessions. You could imagine this would be irresistible to Warlock, the Warlock obsession to discover the truth may lie with a visit to the dragon. I also believe Hunters were drawn to the Ahmakara but for a different reason, Hunters ego's is to stalk the landscape to track the greatest game and take it down and no beast would be greater than Ahamkara. Hence Hunter's too were lured to face the powerful dragons.
This idea that guardians were enticed, enchanted almost to visit the Ahamkara through exaggeration of their egos is reinforced by the Ghost Fragment: Warlock card. This describes a conversation between a Warlock and an Exo hunter. The Warlock has taken a portion of Ahamkara spine from the Cryptarch. The bone of the Ahamkara seems to influence the Warlock, enhancing his pride and ego and he ends up challenging the Hunter to take down an Ahamkara, even knowing that the hunter would face certain death. The card finishes with
"And I looked at the piece of spine in my hand and wondered – why did I say that? What moved me to such pride?".
Just on a side note, I know I am talking about ego in very negative terms and from a psychological view point, that is not really the case, however I do think in the destiny world the Ahamkara enhance egotism, which is that self-absorption.
It seems that even the bones of dead Ahamkara has the ability to enhance one's egotism. This is reinforced with the exotic Ahamkara items, the Claws say
"Look at all this life, oh bearer mine. There is so much left to burn…"
the Young Ahamkara's Spine says
"Give me your arm, oh bearer mine. Let me help you fill the world with teeth",
the bones of the Ahamkara within the armor don't necessarily possess the wearer, however they try to convince the guardian who wears the armour to give in to their dark side, their destructive side, to test their strength and new found power, burning everything to ground, because they can, because it feels good. These items also emphasis the destructive nature the Ahamkara and in fact in the Ghost Fragment Warlock card says
"there is nothing to be afraid of anymore"
in reference to the extinction of the Ahamkara.
You can see how the Ahamkara could be considered a threat, they had the ability to make guardians only think of themselves, an ability that could divide a civilization and bring chaos. The Great Ahamkara Hunt was thought to have occurred during the City Age, as other events such as the Faction Wars and Saint-14's crusade were said to occur around the same time. All of these events occurred post collapse. During this difficult period, guardians searched for the Ahamkara,
"driven by hope, or vengeance, or despair,"
seeking power and knowledge to pull them through this age, to survive. After
"great deliberation it was determined that the Ahamkara be made extinct. Power had been obtained through bargains however the City needed the power."
Using this information, I speculate that the hunt was ordered by the Consensus and they did this because they believed the lure the Ahamkara was too great and would cause individuals to seek the power, and if successful an individual could easily rise to a leadership position within the City and take control over the City. The powers of the Ahamkara which enhanced one's egotism, one's selfishness was too great of risk for the City, they needed unity, they need combined strength, and so the order was given to wipe out the Ahamkara, silencing their call.
So now, lets get into some more heavy speculation. The reason I have been pronouncing Ahamkara, as Ahamkar, is because it is a Sanskrit term which is primary language of Hinduism and relates to one's ego, yes, the name of this species actually translates to ego, which had already been hinted with the word solipsistic. I have limited knowledge of Hinduism so feel free to correct me but I did read that a certain branch of Hindu Philosophy asks you to remove your Ahamkara, remove your ego, because with it you cannot be subordinate to the lord. I think also though, in other parts of Hindu Philosophy it is also essential to spiritual development. However, for the sake of the speculation, lets say you need to get rid of you Ahamkara to be subordinate. If you believe Consensus ordered the Ahamkara Hunt, they ordered the destruction of guardian's ego, without ego, guardians could not think of only themselves, they become perfect subordinate soldiers to the lord, the traveler. So if you do like to the think that the Speaker/Traveler is evil, then the removal of the Ahamkara fits nicely.
There is an item that I came across in my research for this video that heavily conflicts this idea that getting rid of the ego was required to make an army of guardians. It talks about removing ego as part of flow. The item is "Symmetry Fang VI" and says
"There are six factors in true Csikszentmihalyian flow. First is the loss of self",
this a real world meaning, Csikszentmihalyian is the last name of Professor of Psychology. This professor suggested that to achieve flow, which is a state of complete absorption and concentration in activity, it is a balance between your skills and the challenge of the activity. For example, imagine you are quite good at something, and the challenge is quite low, this professor suggests that in this state you will be bored. However, if you get the balance right between skill level and challenge, you will achieve a start of flow and when this happens you will be
"completely involved in an activity for its own sake. The ego falls away. Time flies. Every action, movement, and thought follows inevitably from the previous one, like playing jazz. Your whole being is involved, and you're using your skills to the utmost."
You achieve flow. This item suggests that Warlocks attempt to rid themselves of the ego voluntarily to achieve a state of flow. Maybe it was necessary to remove the Ahamkara, remove the ego to achieve flow within the city.
The last piece of speculation I got from Bungie's forum, looking at a post from AnonPig, thanks to subscriber Robert Clark for putting me onto this thread. Basically, it draws attention to the Claws of the Ahamkara, and how they are not scales but feathers. Anonpig suggests that the Ahamkara are feathered serpents, which makes sense because Dragons, flying reptiles and feathered serpents can be seen as synonymous. There are items that make reference to Serpents, one is the Warlock Purifying robes, which has a perk called Serpent's Tail and the other is The Viper Spine VI which has some very interesting flavor text. It says
"There's a story about a serpent selling knowledge. The moral is: always be the serpent."
Anonpig links this to the Aztec God who was a feathered serpent and was a God of knowledge and linked to Venus. I have another interpretation of this, the Feathered serpents, the Ahamkara, were selling knowledge, the truth, this truth would conflict with the Traveler's story, so they were wiped out, leaving only one truth remaining, the truth of the traveler/speaker, the moral is, always be the serpent selling the knowledge.
The question still remains, do any serpents still exist, that have defied extinction "Bones of Eao".
Wowza, to research and write this script took me 13 hours, which I did in one sitting, why, because I was in a state of flow. So please sure your appreciation with like and comment, and we will see you next time.

- Abstract
In this paper the genesis of the Charter of Regional and Minority Languages (1992) is discussed briefly, just as the current politico-linguistic situation in a few European languages with respect to the Charter. Especially the postion of the Russian speaking minority in the Ukraine, one of the partners of the Charter, is compared with that of the Russian speaking minorities in Latvia and Estonia.
The role and the positive effect of the periodical reports of the Committee of Experts of the Council of Europe is sketched. In the conclusion a possible role of the Strasbourg Court of Justice is foreseen where it comes to strengthening of linguistic rights via case law.

Thank you for your email requesting parliamentary approval of the final terms for leaving the EU.
The Government has made clear that there will be a significant amount of legislation passing through Parliament during the process of exiting the EU in which Parliament will be able to debate, scrutinise and comment on these important decisions. This means that MPs will have their say at every stage.
Since triggering Article 50, the Government has two years in which to agree a withdrawal deal. EU law is clear that if a withdrawal agreement is not reached by the end of this period, the withdrawing country will simply leave the EU without any deal.
It is also not in the hands of the UK Government to unilaterally extend the negotiating period. EU law states that this period can only be extended with the unanimous agreement of the remaining member states of the EU.
Thank you once again for contacting me, please do not hesitate to get in contact with me if you require any further information.
Kind regards,
Derek Thomas MP
For St Ives, West Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.

Wena Poon, The Proper Care of Foxes, Ethos, 2009. 225 pgs.
Wena Poon's The Proper Care of Foxes is a collection of eleven short stories set variously in America, Europe and Asia. This trans-national landscape is occupied by characters living in a state of geographical and cultural dislocation. While by no means homogeneous, the stories call on several overriding themes. Notable among these is the search for things lost, including the individual's sense of self—the right voice. The characters, by turn frustrated, confused, confident and ebullient, occupy a world of chance meetings and unexpected reunions in which they attempt to reclaim what they were, understand what they are and, sometimes, dress up as something new.
In Justin & the Cenotaph Wena Poon's narrative is at its most convincing. Justin is a 42-year-old Singaporean architect with a successful career. Awarded the contract to design a new cenotaph for Singapore (the old one is to be bulldozed to make way for a new road) Justin travels to London to revisit the cenotaph in Whitehall. His journey is motivated not by professional interest but by personal remembrance. The commission has brought to mind his days as an overseas student, and his doomed relationship with an Australian girl.
Through this journey, from Singapore to London and back, the story delivers a portrait of three generations: parent, child and grandchild. The parent, Justin's mother, remembers Singapore as a British colony, has never travelled and experiences the wider world through the adventures of her son. The granddaughter, an 18-year-old student newly free in London, worships the surfer culture of America, a country she has never visited. In between old and new generations is the son/uncle, the architect, whose life has been prescribed by duty.
Several of Wena Poon's stories explore the subtle realization of how much has unwittingly been lost as a result of self-imposed and externally inflicted decisions. Take Justin as an example. In his youth, he was a "nervous and pallid student" ill-equipped to exploit the noise of university life. His more binding restriction, however, was external—a contract with Singapore in the form of a government scholarship to be repaid through his return home to work. The cost to him an end to romance, independence, and youth:
Yes, his country was a country of bonds, invisible chains that weighed on its young men and women - work bonds, National Service bonds, State-regulated promises that had to be carefully navigated even as you were struggling to free yourself from adolescence and the well-rehearsed anxieties of Chinese parents that had fettered your childhood. It was easy to be so consumed by these restrictions that you were often deep in your thirties before you realized that life might have passed you by.
Here is a man whose emotional life has indeed been "consumed" by the paternal nation. In contrast, the younger generation—his niece—is not only relatively free but, crucially, able to exploit that freedom, to step with ease into the unknown. This is not to say that Justin's tale is one of middle-aged bitterness and blame. Rather, it is a sympathetic glimpse at a life, set against a changed world, which gently delivers a moment in which opportunities and time lost are faced up to, accepted and consigned to the past:
He put away the blueprints that his colleague prepared and turned the computer off. He went to his other desk, where there was a vast expanse of blank vellum. He picked up a pencil.It was time for a new design.
It is worth noting here that, in the landscape of Wena Poon's fiction (at least as evidenced here) age fast becomes short-hand for character. 20-somethings are young, cool and fully engaged in living; 30-somethings are confused, lost, fading; older (60+) maternal women tend to be fuzzy creatures only in the modern world by virtue of their children. At 42, the architect Justin, delightfully labelled as "slightly middle-aged," falls within a category of almost beyond hope. As his niece puts it: "Forty-two is ancient, dude."
Creeping age and the sorrow of lost time also permeate the story Vanilla Five, along with another frequent concern—identity. The narrator of this tale is a 30-something (for which read life-is-passing-her-by) woman who has shelved her own literary ambitions to support the career of her novelist-academic husband. (Another character short-hand here—successful male intellectual means self-obsessed lecher, as also seen in the whiskered professors of New Order). After seven years of marriage, the husband has disappeared abroad and asked for a divorce, abandoning his wife in an unfamiliar New York.
As she deals with the reality of her dislocated situation—years, youth and self lost to the role, now defunct, of wife-of-brilliant-man—the narrator finds her match in the boy downstairs. Sato is the 20-something (read "fearsomely hip") manager of a used designer clothing store. The shop, full of cast-off costumes, represents the ability to play dress-up, to change oneself, to try on different personalities. Sato is a living embodiment of this—a white English boy with a Japanese name raised in New York by a Japanese couple. He plays with his triple identity, switching between languages and accents as the mood takes him. But this is more than play, as Sato confesses: "I'm trying to find the right voice for this face. I'm still trying."
The contrast between appearance and behaviour, between face and voice, is a motif often employed here. A privileged young American chooses to marginalize himself through his outrageous costumes (Siegfried & the Avalanche; Siegfried & Regina); a Californian-Chinese babe turns out to be involved not with the smug male academic but with his wife (New Order) and, in a reversal of Western man as sexual predator and Asian female as prey, a dutiful Chinese daughter escapes to the UK on a two-week hunt for sex (The Proper Care of Foxes). (On the flip side of this coin are the gently-repressed architect Justin, and the buttoned-up auditor, Regina, workaholics who are aware that they are, to outward appearances, living predestined roles, fulfilling expectations.)
It would be wrong to suggest that these contrasts form a grand challenge against social norms, or even against the prejudices of people who categorize others by race and face. Indeed, even the most sympathetic, urbane characters view the world in terms of their own limited experience and understanding. (In fact, the protagonists can be curiously illiterate when it comes to other cultures, or even other generations.) Rather, and in line with the focus on the internal journey of the individual, contrasts (both within and between characters) appear to be a reminder that life can be quirky; that, under the surface, things are not always what they seem.
This is not to say that the stories steer clear of external realities. As with Justin & the Cenotaph the world intrudes on life and individuals have to strike uncomfortable bargains. And, indeed, the context is often refreshingly contemporary. Technology sustains a web of fragmentary relationships, while the financial crisis and the H1N1 pandemic both have an impact. One story, Development, takes a social issue in Asia's wealthy cities as its central theme. Focusing on the experiences of migrant domestic workers in Hong Kong and Singapore, Development is not the most successful story in the collection, but its topical theme makes it worth a mention here.
Told by a third-party narrator, Development discovers a vulnerable, exploited workforce of economic migrants from the Philippines through the lens of a Scottish photojournalist. MacGregor is sent to capture images of both the benign (a Sunday gathering in Hong Kong) and the malign (maids in Singapore who have been abused by their employers.) The process of discovery mapped out here depends upon an extreme lack of knowledge on the part of MacGregor (a device which, as elsewhere in this collection, can rankle.) The cynical MacGregor is eventually lured out from behind his camera by the evidence of appalling violence hidden under a veneer of normality: the harm done to maids in seemingly genteel homes is just the type of "horror lurking in boring places" which he dreads.
MacGregor is provoked into looking, for the first time, into the plight of those whose lives he documents. He rails not only against the physical abuse, but more broadly against a system built upon exploitation and the casual infliction of small indignities. But Development is not an example of fiction trailblazing a social issue. Despite the exposé, the bold start, the narrative loses momentum. As a personal journey, the characterization of MacGregor is also troublesome. He is too much the stock Western pressman to be convincing, but not a grotesque enough parody to be absurd. As a result, it is hard to know what to make of his parting shot as a barstool philosopher delivering crass, offensive conclusions to an audience of drunks.
Overall, The Proper Care of Foxes certainly offers much that will interest and entertain. It examines personal motivation, self-awareness, the clash of difference and dislocated lives (dislocated generations and cultures, even) with humour and, often, with a delicate touch which makes for engaging reading. The introspection of many of Wena Poon's characters produces a strong feeling that existence is essentially a solitary and self-interested business in which, nevertheless, the contemplation of the external—culture, nationality, family, friends—remains highly significant.
This collection does cover a great deal of ground, with other stories set in Texas, Vietnam, Cambridge, on a Pacific island, and even in an apocalyptic future. Moving with ease around the world is, however, a task perhaps harder in fiction than in reality, and the consciously diverse trans-national dialogue does sometimes take its toll. It is fair to say that, as a collection of works, this is uneven. The use of obvious contrasts, and of ignorance, to allow for moments of revelation, feels at times a little heavy-handed and contrived, as do some of the characterizations. That said, the tales told in The Proper Care of Foxes give a strong sense of forward momentum, of life as an ongoing work of introspection and interaction in which the search for the right voice is not finite, but may continue even after the recorded narrative ends.
Editors' note: Wena Poon's poem "Copernicus for a Singaporean Grandmother" is published in this issue (issue #10) of Cha.

Whole Home Organization
In the galleries below we are going to show you a variety of the types of customers that we have provided our home organization services to. If you go to the bottom we are going to show you Judy, our owner's home, her testing ground for all her home organizing ideas.
Just One Home Organization Session
These pictures were taken after our first home organization session. We completed the dining room during our next session, along with the bathroom. After we share with you our tips for making decisions it can go really quickly.
Home Organization: Once session more intense process
What can happen in one home organization session . . . The person who lives in this home lives in this one room. There are a number of belonging that are not this persons. This person also experiences symptoms of ADD and has multiple physical issues that make daily maintenance difficult. This is a great example of what can happen in one session. Of course, this is not complete. They said to us, "I cannot believe how much we got done. It feels amazing. I just want to keep it this way and I really think I can because you have arranged everything so that it will be so much easier."
Two Home Organization Sessions
One car garage can now house a car with plenty of room to load or unload. The garage is so important to home organization because it is the last reflection of you that you get when you leave the house. If it is orderly, you will approach the rest of your day with a sense of order.
A Teacher's Home Office
Organizing is a process: This room had become the "dumping ground". A teacher needed to utilize it. Organizing is a process, it moves like a wave through your home or office. This is a good example of how organizing one room can mean that you must organize another room or closet to find homes for everything you find. In this room, the cabinets on the top left are gifts to give and will be moving to another room. The items on top of the cabinets are sorted by like item and will also be moving when we create homes for them elsewhere in the home.
Home Organization: Pack, Move, but coming back in a year
All ready for the moving and cleaning crew. Customer home organization goal was to sort belongings that she would keep in her house, which she was closing up for a year to move out of state. And pack the belongings that she would take with her. Ready now for the movers and the cleaning crew. This garage was a full-time two week project. We had fun dressing up and working into the nights! So did our Customer. She was ready. One lady at one of the donation centers said, "No! NO MORE DONATIONS!"
Judy's House
I believe in transparency. So, if I want you to show me your house,
it is only fair for me to show you mine.
I live with and take care of my 94 year old father- Who is doing just great! I moved here about six years ago and came with nothing but a little more than what would fit into one car load. I sold and donated all the rest of my "Stuff". As you will see I don't have a lot of storage. It had to be done or my home organization would be a tremendous challenge, if not impossible and it felt great to release everything except for what was most important. I can't change things too much either because it really throws Dad off track. So a lot of our things and decor are dated! But, I love it here. Being here for my Dad is one of the greatest gifts of my life. Right up there with having a baby.
