This podcast is a result of the calling I believe we are being asked to step into individually, to support the collective.
I talk about where we put our attention (remembering that where our attention goes, energy flows), and how I believe we are being asked to tap into a deeper personal power.
And as always, I share my observation and interpretation, and then talk about how to enact this in a very practical way, which will definitely lead to a greater life expression, experience and fulfillment.
Do enjoy.
Also if you haven't already, make sure you pick up a copy of 'Decision Making Mastery', which is now available through Amazon.
Have a super day.

The Best Betting Books
< Return to how to identify a good tipster Go to building a trading model >
Everyone can learn new things. No matter how much of an expert you are on a given subject, there is always the opportunity to develop new skills and understand certain things that you may not have understood before.
Betting is no different. Sure, you may be an experienced bettor and have won more than your fair share of bets over the years, but you cannot possibly know everything. Especially when the industry moves at the pace it does. That's where heading into your local bookshop and seeing what they have on offer comes in handy.
There are a number of books that bettors looking to up their game can use to gain new insight. Not all are directly related to the industry - some focus on mathematics, finances and wider topics - but they all give you a helping hand as you seek that extra edge.
In this piece, we look at some key books that really ought to be winging their way out of your nearest bookstore and onto your shelf.
Fooled by Randomness by Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Written by essayist, statistician, former trader and risk analyst Nassim Nicholas Taleb, this book very much does what it says on the tin. Looking at the impact randomness plays in our day-to-day lives, it proposes that human beings often fail to recognise randomness and instead conclude that chance happenings actually have some logic behind them. The book was written with the financial world in mind, but Taleb's insights apply just as well to betting, which is similarly based around ideas of chance and probability. Released in 2001, Fooled by Randomness is the first part of a five-book series that collectively goes under the name Incerto. The Black Swan, The Bed of Procrustes, Antifragile, and Skin in the Game are the other entries in the series.
Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman
Hitting shelves in 2011, Thinking, Fast and Slow is written by Daniel Kahneman, a psychologist and economist who has specialised in behavioural economics and how human beings make decisions. The book is the culmination of decades of research Kahneman conducted alongside the cognitive and mathematical psychologist Amos Tversky. In it, Kahneman explores two systems of thought. The first is fast and instinctive, and allows us to do quite easy things, like solve simple sums and locate the source of a sound, amongst other things. The second is slower, requires more effort and allows us to do things like park in tight spaces and solve complex equations. Ultimately, the book is about reasoning and lack of reasoning and how they inform decision-making across everything from the financial markets to, of course, betting.
The Signal and the Noise by Nate Silver
Best known as the founder and editor-in-chief of the politics, economics and sports website FiveThirtyEight, Nate Silver is also an author and his book, The Signal and The Noise, became something of a sensation when it was released in 2012. Using real life case studies from across the worlds of elections, weather forecasting, baseball and poker, The Signal and the Noise explores mathematical model building based around probability and statistics. Silver argues that human beings always seek patterns, and explores the way this can produce bad predictions as often as it can produce good ones. The applications to betting are clear.
Squares And Sharps, Suckers And Sharks by Joseph Buchdahl
Joseph Buchdahl started his career as an environmental scientist, but he eventually turned his hand to sports betting, and became a prominent voice in the area. Which is why his books make not one but two entries on this list. The first is Squares and Shapes, Suckers and Sharks, which looks at the science of chance and probability, and how it applies to everyday life and betting.
How to Find a Black Cat in a Coal Cellar: The Truth About Sports Tipsters, Joseph Buchdahl
The second Buchdahl book takes a more specific view by exploring the role of tipsters in betting. Buchdahl offers insight into how to find truly talented tipsters rather than those who have been highly profitable as much through luck as actual insight. He also explores why some sports are more profitable than others and why some bookmakers enjoy greater success than others. All of which makes How to Find a Black Cat in a Coal Cellar a truly indispensable piece of work for anyone who likes to find insight and information from tipsters.
Enemy Number One: The Secrets of the UK's Most Feared Professional Punter by Patrick Veitch
Having studied mathematics at Cambridge University, Patrick Veitch eventually turned his attentions away from academic figures and fractions and towards the numbers and odds you see on offer from bookmakers. Veitch has lived a truly incredible life, and this fascinating tome tells the story of how he used his talents to earn over £10 million from his betting activity across an eight year period. While the book does not go into too much depth on Veitch's methods, it is clear what the key ingredient is: a lot of hard work and dedication to studying the industry.
Gambling for Life by Harry Findley
Harry Findlay is a famous figure in the gambling circuit - and also quite a divisive one. Some love him, some dislike him, but whatever your thoughts, what cannot be denied is that he is a fascinating person who has lived a remarkable life. Findlay's story is detailed in Gambling for Life, which explores his triumphs, failures and the depression that came as a result of them. You may not always agree with Findlay's thoughts, but you will certainly have a good time reading them.
The Sure Thing: The Greatest Coup in Horse Racing History by Barney Curley
In 1975, Barney Curley orchestrated what has gone down as one of the most amazing gambles of all time when he won millions on a horse called Yellow Sam. 35 years later - in 2010 - he did the same again, winning another huge haul with another brilliant coup. The Sure Thing explores Curley's history and how the coups came about with huge style and panache, making this not just a great betting book but a riveting read full stop.
So there you have it. Those are our favourite betting books. Reading them will not guarantee million pound windfalls, but you will gain greater insight into the world of betting and have a great time while doing so.

Social media sites such as Facebook and Instagram serve as a "gateway" for fraudsters, the City watchdog has warned, as it demanded they take tougher action on financial scams.
While the Financial Conduct Authority praised Google for having changed its terms for financial advertisements this month, the regulator's head of enforcement said other tech firms were lagging behind.
"Social media sites are effectively a gateway in which scammers are getting access to vast numbers of people in the population through online searches," Mark Steward said during the FCA's annual public meeting on Tuesday.
Scam 'epidemic': Big tech firms must join fight, says Nationwide chiefRead more
"We are putting them on notice that we expect them to be involved in this process of protecting the community," he said, adding that the FCA would otherwise "have to take action".
The FCA has waged a long-running battle with social media firms and search engines amid a spike in online fraud, which the Home Office has said makes up about 86% of all fraud in the UK. The trend has been attributed in part to the Covid crisis, which has led to more criminal activity online.
In total, scammers stole about £4m a day from UK consumers in the first half of the year, according to the banking lobby group UK Finance, which warned last week that the level of fraud was posing a national security threat.
A coalition of banking and tech companies has launched an emergency helpline – accessed by dialling 159 – for people to report and check financial scams. The hotline will connect callers directly to their bank's fraud prevention service.
Google was praised by the regulator on Tuesday for changing terms for online advertisers, by ensuring that none of its priority search results include financial promotions unless they are posted by FCA-authorised firms.
It followed lengthy negotiations with the search engine. The FCA's chief executive, Nikhil Rathi, revealed this month he had held more meetings with Google than any other company since joining the regulator last year.

Search engines and social media sites were previously exempt from screening financial adverts since EU rules did not extend to online platforms. While the FCA does not directly regulate social media sites, it has tried to use its post-Brexit powers to demand extra checks.
Google's changes were already having an impact on online fraud rates, Rathi said. "We do expect the others to take the issue as seriously," he said. "We expect Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and others to [do so] also, and we'll be engaging with them."
A Twitter spokesperson said: "It is against our rules to use scam tactics on Twitter to obtain money or private financial information," adding that the platform took "robust action against anyone violating its rules."
A spokesperson for Facebook, which also owns Instagram, said the company was "dedicating significant resources" to tackling scams.
"While no enforcement is perfect, we continue to invest in new technologies and methods to protect people on Facebook and Instagram from these scams," the spokesperson said.
The Guardian also contacted Google for comment.

( Event Horizon Telescope / AP Images ) Summary Transcript Transcript BOB GARFIELD This is On The Media, I'm Bob Garfield. [MUSIC UP & UNDER] BOB GARFIELD Imagine the paparazzi closing in on the biggest star in the universe. No, even bigger, much bigger than the biggest star. [CLIP] SHEPERD DOELEMAN In April of 2017, all the dishes in the event horizon telescope swivelled, turned and stared at a galaxy fifty five million light years away. BOB GARFIELD That was Harvard astrophysicist Sheperd Doeleman at a press conference Wednesday for the National Science Foundation, preparing the audience for the money shot. SHEPERD DOELEMAN And we are delighted to be able to report to you today, that we have seen what we thought was unseeable. We have seen and taken a picture of a black hole. [END CLIP] BOB GARFIELD An image of the densest of celestial objects hitherto only imagined because its gravitational pull is so fast that not even light can escape its grip. Yet, there it is in living color with the light at the very frontiers of its gravity field literally bent around its massive invisible self to define its contours. If we're being honest, it looked like a fuzzy glowing cosmic bagel. But to a scientist's eye-- PRIYAMVADA NATARAJAN You know, I really had a bit of a wow moment when I saw it. BOB GARFIELD That's Priya Natarajan, professor of astronomy and physics at Yale University, who saw not a bagel but a revelation in the tradition of Galileo destined to reframe our sense of the universe. PRIYAMVADA NATARAJAN Galileo was a pioneer in the sense, right? He, through the telescope, he looked at the moon and he recorded it. So for the first time you just didn't have a fleeting memory of an object that you saw but you had a record of it. BOB GARFIELD I want to ask you about this whole notion of a material image shifting our perspective. In 1968, one of the Apollo astronauts William Anders, was in the spacecraft orbiting the moon and he snapped a picture. It captured the gray horizon of the moon in the foreground and in the sky hovers the blue and white planet Earth itself. What was the impact of this photo that came to be called Earthrise? PRIYAMVADA NATARAJAN It was the first time that we were able to see the earth without being on the earth and it made us realize how vulnerable we are. We are all inhabiting this little blue marble that is sort of suspended in the darkness of space. I often say that it sort of brought home, I think, a sense of how significant and insignificant we are as human beings. It's significant because we develop the technology and the possibility to do this. Whereas, we are insignificant because it kind of brings into sharper focus that, gosh, space is littered with a lot of rocks. We just happened to be one. So it's a very emotional moment. It generated a sense of cosmic responsibility and a collective sense of cosmic responsibility. BOB GARFIELD Here's some tape of Buckminster Fuller, the philosopher, mathematician thinker, creator of the geodesic dome. [CLIP] BUCKMINSTER FULLER People say to me I wanted to be like to be on a spaceship. And I say to you, you don't really realize what you're doing because everybody is an astronaut. You all live aboard a beautiful little spaceship called Earth. [END CLIP] BOB GARFIELD I want to ask you about the Hubble telescope which has yielded this vast trove of images. Here was ABC's Peter Jennings in 1990 talking about sending that satellite into space. [CLIP] PETER JENNINGS Tonight, finally, the space shuttle Discovery is in orbit. In its cargo bay waiting to be put into its own orbit a telescope so powerful it can see a dime 25 miles away. An instrument bound to contribute to a reassessment of the universe. [END CLIP] BOB GARFIELD Now the images that it would retrieve including the pillars of creation photos of the Eagle Nebula. They are jaw dropping. But do they fit into this conversation we're having because they're also kind of like abstract expressionist. You know they look alike, oh I don't know, illuminated glasses, not like the moon. PRIYAMVADA NATARAJAN Right? So all these Hubble Space Telescope images are taken in different wavelengths and then they're combined and they're rendered in color. So they do represent very faithfully what is really there actually. So for example one of the most recent iconic images from the Hubble has been you know a very, very deep look at this set of objects, like six objects, called clusters of galaxies. There are about a thousand galaxies held together by the gravity of dark matter. And you know that because you see a lot of light bending just as we saw the extreme light bending around the black hole. So you know the Hubble has played a very important role but also it spoiled us with these incredible images because, as I said, the optical has a very strong pull. It's an evolutionary impulse because that's what we can really sense. BOB GARFIELD We discuss the fuzziness of the image. It could be a black hole, you know, or it could be and out of focus bagel. Do you expect this image that gave you such a rare and emotional response to be the latest in a series of iconic images that reframe human understanding of the cosmos? Or in this world of rampant anti-science sentiment just fodder for the next imbecilic meme in the culture wars. PRIYAMVADA NATARAJAN The rampant denialism of science now is extremely disturbing and I personally believe that one cause for that is the fact that the public does not understand the process of science. So I think the press conference where, you know, there was a very nice exposition of how things work, how they actually designed the project, how they got it to work, what they did in order to produce this image. Sort of demystifying this process, I think, is really what is needed and they convey the provision ality of science. That anything that we know is the best to date. It's apt to change if we have more data, better data, more evidence. And I think part of the problem is, you know, you have a lot of studies that are very poorly done so, you know, they say well coffee is good for you and then you know a month later of coffee suddenly bad for you. And these are just statistically not significant studies. So you know a lot of not so great science out there that is being fed to the public. I think that confuses the public because they don't know how to calibrate. But I think something like this, I think it can be reset because as I told you I'm an optimist. That's what I'm hoping. BOB GARFIELD One last question. This whole conversation has been premised on the idea that a tangible evidence of the cosmos helps us as humans frame our place in the universe, frame our very humanity. As we begin to document dark matter, black holes, things that are unseeable and in many ways unknowable. How do you think that will change our own narrative of humanity? PRIYAMVADA NATARAJAN What it really reveals is the power of the framework of science that we have developed. This way of making sense of reality using data and evidence. That, it's quite remarkable right because we have a brain that's basically the size of a cantaloupe and we were able to figure all of this stuff about the universe. So I think this is a revelation and a moment to take stock of what all we are capable of. And I think that touches everybody not just scientists. BOB GARFIELD Priya, thank you very much. PRIYAMVADA NATARAJAN Thank you so much. BOB GARFIELD Priya Natarajan is a professor of astronomy and physics at Yale University. Hosted by Bob Garfield Produced by WNYC Studios

Resources On Graphic Design
Build your Business Plan
However, just because you have an artistic flair and an eye for color does not mean you will attain automatic success as a graphic designer. You have to become acquainted with the business end of things as well as the creative aspect, and marry the two. With a lot of motivation and intention, you will see your business flourish and your client base become steady. The steps listed below will help you on your way.
A business plan is necessary no matter what field you are in, and no matter if this is your first business or your twenty-first business. Everything that you venture into requires some pre-planning so that you can preempt any hiccups or obstacles along the way.
Need a financial model template? Learn more ⟶
The main components of a business plan include:
- Executive Summary. Here is where you detail what your business is all about and what your goals are for your graphic design business. It's essentially a declaration of who you are, what you will provide to your customers, and how you will go about doing that. Remember that graphic design includes corporate branding, web design, and advertising, among other things. Try not to spread yourself too thin too early; it is recommended that you focus on one particular area before you decide to branch out. Your goals will thus be a reflection of that.
- Market Analysis. In this section, you will put forth the research on the graphic market, including the demand for the services, recent trends in style and branding, any potential setbacks, and other factors that are in play. You might also want to study your competition, too, so that you can offer insights into what you are up against when it comes to other graphic artists.
- Marketing Plan. You might be the most prepared person in the world, your designs might be flawless and eye-catching, but you are nothing without a steady client base! Your business plan will have to address how you plan on reaching your clientele and what you are going to do to get your name out there. This is exceptionally important, since you will more than likely be using this business plan to convince investors to help you with funding. If you do not have a stable plan in place, then do not expect investors to take a second look at you.
- Products/Services Overview. In this section, you will get into the specifics about your portfolio and what types of designs you will and will not create. Since this is your business, you are within your right to say no to various designs that either do not match your style and skills or that you simply do not want to do. Your clients, however, should know this before embarking on a business relationship with you, so make it especially known to them and to yourself what your boundaries are.

So, the whole new add-on to this cashless era that will make our payments even more convenient is "FASTag". Do you know what is FASTag or how does it work? If you don't have any idea about FASTag, then keep reading to know how is it an ultimate benefit for you in many ways:
What is FASTag?
FASTag is an excellent new generation key for your easy payments at toll plazas. Basically, FASTag is a contactless toll collection system allowing cashless payment with the help of RFID, that is, Radio-frequency Identification technology.
Once you affix an effective FASTag on your vehicle's windscreen, then there will be no need to stop at any of those toll plazas for physical cash payment. You can freely pass through the toll plazas coming on your way.
Who said FASTag is complicated? It is one of the simplest tools to use along with a reloadable tag enabling an automatic deduction of your toll fees from the respective linked bank account.
Also, there is no such hassle to acquire a FASTag! Anyone can obtain a FASTag through any of the 4000+ branches of Axis Bank. And if you don't want to step out of your home to buy one, then you also have an option to apply online and it will be delivered to you.
FASTag is advertised by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MORTH), National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), Indian Highways Management Company Limited (IHMCL) and National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI).
Still confused about buying a FASTag? Go through the below-discussed benefits to be self-assured:
- Save Both Fuel & Time– When you will operate through RFID, a FASTag will benefit your road-journey by saving both your fuel as well as time.
Tag readers on those toll booths will scan your FASTag that will directly pay your due charges from your linked account.
- SMS Alerts– Whenever you will make a toll payment via FASTag, you will receive an SMS on your registered mobile number. The SMS will bear all the details of your transaction. This will help you to keep an account of your expenses.
- Online Management– Once your FASTag is activated, it can be linked to a bank account or an e-wallet that means you can re-charged as well as manage your FASTag absolutely online.
- Doorstep Delivery- As FASTag is now mandatory on all the National Highways, Axis Bank is providing an exclusive option to apply FASTag online & get it delivered at your home. Rather, one can also apply for FASTag from any of the 4000+ branches of Axis Bank.
- Easy to Use- You just need to attach a FASTag on the interior pane of your vehicle's windshield.
The tag scanners equipped in the toll plazas will complete your payments in a contactless method.
Charges Applicable on Axis Bank FASTags:
Particulars | Amount (INR) |
Tag Issuance fee (one time) | 0 only (inclusive of taxes)

Lucien Favre has turned down the opportunity to manage Borussia Dortmund and will stay at Nice this season, per Blick.
Favre's agent Reza Fazeli was quoted telling SportBild : " The transfer window is closed for us this summer."
The 59 year old had been the favorite to take over the reins at Dortmund following Thomas Tuchel's departure, with the club reportedly willing to pay as much as €10 million in compensation to Favre's club Nice.
The report further says that Dortmund will now turn their attention towards Fiorentina coach Paulo Sousa who won the UEFA Champions League with the Die Borussen as a player.

4 Fun Themes for the Next Open World Hit
Open worlds have largely dominated the past decade or so in video games. The concept popularized for modern consoles by the likes of Skyrim, has come to be a hit at most every level of the gaming world. At the same time however, we've also started to look to just a handful of franchises for the best open world activity. Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, and Red Dead Redemption, for instance, largely set the bar for modern gaming worlds of this nature, even if they're far from alone in the category.
This is all well and good given the sensational quality of the games those series produce. However, it's also always fun to see brand new concepts attempted. This is one reason we were excited to hear about Outer Worlds when it was announced last year, and likely one of the main reasons the game has been fairly successful. It brought us a whole new open world, not linked to an existing series but instead wholly its own.
This leads us to our main point, which is simply that it's fun every now and then to imagine the places open world gaming hasn't really led us to explore yet. And across our own history, the known universe, and the realms of fantasy, there are still a lot of fascinating ideas that are largely untapped. We've selected four that would be incredible if used for future open world hits.
1 – The Worlds Of Avatar
Okay, so Avatar has become a bit of a running joke. Many now look back on this hit film as something of a production gimmick (and Pocahontas rip-off) rather than the groundbreaking sci-fi epic it was largely viewed as at the time. Furthermore, the timeline of its sequel announcements has become downright comical. We've been hearing about Avatar follow-ups for more than a decade, and at this point nothing would surprise us. We might never see another film in this series, or we might see four sequels released in a 12-month span. We'll believe either outcome.
What's difficult to deny though, even for those who never really "bought in" on the Avatar concept, is that this film brought to life one of the most vividly imagined alien worlds we've ever seen in entertainment. Beautiful, dangerous, and dreamlike, Pandora is an absolute fantasy, and would be a delight to explore in a sophisticated, modern video game. Throw in the underwater content and neighboring moons rumored to be at the heart of the long-awaited sequels, and a game in this universe could also be incredibly expansive.
2 – Mars
Mars has been imagined in pop fiction in any number of different ways. Sometimes it's a fantasy land of monsters and ancient alien species; sometimes it's the barren wasteland of a future human civilization ruined; sometimes it's realistic, or at least as close to reality as we can guess. Yet another version of the planet could make for an incredible open world game though.
We imagine Mars in this game some 100 years after it's colonized, such that it's advanced, but not a full-fledged fantasy. There could be new factions of civilization and original sources of political disquiet; the land could be partially terraformed and partially uninhabitable. Creators would have limitless options in piecing the world together, but there's little doubt that done well it would make for an incredible game (or series).
3 – Ancient Arabia
When you think of Ancient Arabia in connection to gaming, you almost definitely land on the Prince of Persia series — which at various points in history has been fairly wonderful. Today, however, this series is essentially dormant, and the most prominent games dealing with the Ancient Arabian setting (or the fantasy version of it we've spun up for ourselves) actually exist at online casinos. And truth be told, these games are quite a lot of fun! The bulk of them are hosted within the slots section on Foxy Games – including the titles 10,001 Nights, Ali Baba's Luck, and 3 Genie Wishes. These games all use the ideas of magical fortune and kingly riches at the heart of Ancient Arabian fantasies to tie in quite nicely to slot gameplay and casino winnings — though of course, they're far from comprising open worlds.
Our theory though is that the historical success of the Prince Of Persia games coupled with the use of similar themes on slot gaming platforms speaks to the fact that this is a popular setting among gamers. It would therefore be an excellent idea for a major developer to work on a brand new open world concept taking place in this world. It could concern original heroes in a slightly more realistic version of Ancient Arabia. It could even be a new spin on Prince Of Persia built into the open world format. Whatever the case though, this game done properly would be a smash hit.
4 – Arthurian Lore
There are actually a lot of chapters in British history that would be fun to play out in an open world. CBR already suggested Elizabethan England, for instance, as a fitting location for the next installment in the Assassin's Creed series. A bruised and darkened London during World War II could also be fascinating as an open world focused more on espionage than combat. Even Ancient England under Roman rule could potentially make for a fascinating effort.
Taking more of a fantasy angle though, it could be incredibly fun to see a large, serious effort at bringing Arthurian lore to life in an open world. It's not really something that's been done in satisfying fashion to date. In fact, some of the only Arthurian games of note currently exist alongside the same casino slots just mentioned above. But if you imagine a bright, beautiful Camelot, a kingdom of rolling hills and shadowy woods, and a collection of knights, ladies, kings and villains befitting a storybook, it's actually easy to get excited about this sort of game in an open world.
We have no idea if any of these games will ever be made, of course. But the open world concept appears to be as popular as ever, and if we do continue to see original games of this sort, these would be excellent picks.

Macworld is around the corner, and that always means new products will be announced and pundits are trying to predict them before they're out, based on the tiny bit of information that has trickled out of Apple. Here are my predictions:
* The iPhone development kit. This is a no-brainer. I predict that this will be open to all developers, as they can't NOT do this because every other smartphone (Windows Mobile, Blackberry, Sidekick, the Nokia OS) is open enough to allow anyone to write apps. Select developers will be able to place their applications in the iTunes store, meaning there's lots of exposure, easy monetization, and I'm going to say that these iTunes-partner-apps probably have more low-level access to the underlying OS. This will make them more powerful than other apps, and makes Apple happy because they have more oversight. Homebrew developer apps will be more limited and will have to be downloaded from developer websites. Because they will not be in the "walled garden" of iTunes, developers are left to figure out their own purchase methods and ways to attract attention.
* New iPhone firmware to support the development kit. We've seen a leaked version of firmware recently with nice faux-GPS support from Google Maps. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that that was incomplete firmware and that the official release will also tie in the Back-To-My-Mac, bringing the iPhone, Leopard, and .Mac all into the same party. You'll be able to access your home machine from anywhere with a cellphone connection (if you bought Leopard and are subscribed to .Mac, of course.) The connection will be mostly read-only. It will leverage the built-in reader (that can read PDF, Word, Excel, and other documents) so that you can read them while out.
* Everyone has been talking about either a tablet PC (an iPhone on steroids) or a Flash-memory based (i.e. non-hard-drive) MacBook. There have been patents surfacing about a way to dock a notebook into/behind the screen of an iMac. I can't see them making a pure tablet PC, as that's useful to a very few number of people. The iPhone is great for consuming content, but the folks that want something larger also want to create content, and for that you need a decent keyboard. My initial thought is that we'll get an ultra-thin convertible laptop/tablet with an iMac-like docking station for the optical drive, full keyboard, printer, and such. You can run it as a laptop, or you can flip the screen around and close it to be a tablet. I'm going to say that it's NOT touch-screen and that the convertible mode is simply for docking (and perhaps eBook-like functionality with accompanying buttons.) If it does happen to be touch-screen, it won't be multi-touch because the OS and iApps are not quite there yet, and I'm not sure that the multitouch screens in larger sizes are cost effective quite yet for consumer products.
* My next thought is that, no, that doesn't quite feel entirely Apple-like. It's a little too derivative. What I can see them doing is coming out with a new iMac in which you can remove the screen and carry it around the house. It's a tablet, sort of, but in the same way an X Terminal was a PC back in the day. All of the smarts (CPU and memory), the hard drive, and everything else is back at the base station. The screen is a remote-control window into what the computer's doing. Of course, it will have a touch-screen for basic data entry: buttons, scroll bars, an on-screen keyboard. It'll talk over WiFi. It'll have enough smarts in it to connect via WiFi to the internet (whether it's in your house or at a coffee shop doing the Back-To-My-Mac thing) and connect to your base station. If it can't connect to your base station PC for some reason (connection down or power out at home, for instance), it provides some limited applications on its own: web browsing, RSS, widgets, that kind of thing: enough to browse the web and get some work done with Google Apps. This ties together Leopard, its screen sharing, its Back-To-My-Mac, and the portability and convenience of having a couch surfing "laptop" to have at hand while watching TV ("What else was that guy in? I'll look it up on IMDB") or as morning blog reading over breakfast.
* On second thought, nahhh… neither of these two tablet-like products quite seem like something Apple would make. The first one seems a bit too dumb. The second limits what you can do by your bandwidth: you can browse the web and work with documents, but how great will the performance be when trying to play a video file?
So really, I can predict the things we KNOW will happen: iPhone apps and firmware. I have no idea about this whole tablet/laptop/whatever thing.

Karma of past life yielding results in this life is referred
to as Prarabhda Karma in Hinduism. As per Hindu teachings, Karma is the law of
cause and effect. Prarabdha means that which has already started.
Karma acts are of three kinds:
- Sanchita – the whole stock of all acts accumulated in past lives.
- Prarabdha – those acts in the Sanchita karma which have started yielding their results – acts that are responsible for the present birth.
- Agami – generally acts that are performed in this birth.
All acts do not fructify all at once. Some of them are ripe
and fructify, while others wait their maturation. Those acts that have started
yielding their consequences, cannot be impeded in their operation. The will inexorably
run their course and their results have to be gone through.
The body of a human being is an instance of ripened moral
acts. Even the right liberating knowledge cannot stop this continuance of the
body till death. A person who becomes enlightened by wisdom cannot throw away
the body. The person must wait for its natural attenuation and death. However,
this does not stand in the way of his liberation. After the natural death of
the body, there is no future birth for the enlightened people.
The other two kinds of karmas (Sanchita and Agami0 may be
neutralized and nullified by human effort. With enlightenment, sanchita karmas
get destroyed and agami karmas, known as karmas performed after enlightenment, become
no more binding.

"Collections" refers to the process by which creditors attempt to get nonpaying debtors to pay what is owed. There are many laws in Pinckneyville, Illinois regulating the conduct of collections agences.
What if I Am Owed Money in Pinckneyville, Illinois?
If someone owes you money and refuses to pay it, you have several options at your disposal. However, when it comes to collecting their debts, creditors are governed by strict consumer protection rules. Violation of these rules while attempting to collect could hurt your chances at successfully recovering your money, and/or subject you to civil penalties.
Some practices that collectors cannot engage in include the use of abusive language, contacting third parties about the debt, and threatened or actual violence.
One thing you are allowed to do is send a written demand for immediate payment. The demand should lay out the exact amount you believe is owed, so the debtor cannot plausibly claim ignorance of that fact. If a lot of money is involved, it might be prudent to hire a Pinckneyville, Illinois collections agency. If you go this route, it is essential to make sure that you hire an agency that is reputable, and follows the relevant law to the letter.
What if Someone Is Trying to Collect Money Against Me in Pinckneyville, Illinois?
If you know that you owe the money being sought of you, and have the resources to pay it, you should do so - this is the quickest and surest way to end collections calls. Of course, this is not the case for everyone. Whatever your situation, you should always behave civilly with the collection callers, especially if they are doing the same. Whatever you do, you should not ignore the matter, because this will never make the problem go away, and will make things worse in the long run.
Thankfully, you have many options at your disposal in Pinckneyville, Illinois. First, you should try to contact the creditor directly, and see if some sort of deal can be worked out. If this is unsuccessful, you can tell the collectors to stop contacting you, which may work in some instances. Of course, this doesn't make the debt go away, but it might give you a little bit of breathing room. The collectors will only be allowed to contact you to let you know that they are suing you for the money owed, or that they have stopped attempting to collect the debt.
If you have retained a Pinckneyville, Illinois attorney during this process, they might advise that the best course of action is to file for bankruptcy. This is a major decision, however, and should not be made lightly. You should only file for bankruptcy if an attorney advises you that it is a viable viable option, given your individual circumstances.
How Can a Pinckneyville, Illinois Collections Attorney Help?
If you believe that a creditor is violating the law in its attempts to collect from you, you should get in touch with a Pinckneyville, Illinois attorney, since you might actually have a claim for damages against the creditor.
Also, if you are considering bankruptcy as an option, a good Illinois attorney can help guide you through the process.

Red Letters 3: Becoming a Red Letter Christian
Sunday, April 26, 2020
Pastor Troy Brewer, OpenDoor Church, Burleson, TX
Matthew 5, 6 and 7 give the Sermon on the Mount and the Beatitudes – which comes from the Latin word for "blessed." Here, it actually means "beautifully blessed."
"Beautiful blessed is the life"
There are eight blessings and promises to make your life beautiful >
The Beatitudes
Matthew 5:3-12
Jesus said:
"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.
Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.
Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
"Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you."
Matthew 5:13-19
"You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.
14 "You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
17 "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18 For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. 19 Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven."
Becoming a Red Letter Christian
1. Living according to the words of Jesus
Jesus is the fulfillment of the written word of God. He is the personification of the spoken word of God and He is the power of the Living word of God. When we live according to the words of Jesus we have…
Becoming a Red Letter Christian
2. Living according to the values of Jesus
To love what Jesus loves and to hate what Jesus hates is to have a huge value for Jesus says is important.
That is also called "the fear of the Lord."
Becoming a Red Letter Christian
1. Living according to the priorities of the Kingdom
The Kingdom is any place where the King has dominion.
My highest priority should not be to avoid criticism or to play it safe.
You can tell by how people are reacting in fear that though they might be Christians, they are not Kingdom people.
Becoming a Red Letter Christian
4. Living a life that not only demonstrates the Father's hear, but what Jesus says.
Is Christ your life? Is He your daily passion? Is He your hope for the future? In Philippians, we get the opportunity to watch and study a mature Christian—Paul. He is somebody we should be modeling. In 1 Corinthians 11:1, Paul says, "Imitate me as I imitate Christ."

How do you think you'll create transformational change in your community?
As a native South Floridian I have experienced the direct impact of global warming intensifying hurricanes. Increased global temperature causes sea levels to rise and will consequently displace millions of people from their coastal homes. I plan to empower the network of resilient leaders within North Carolina by introducing Climate 101 seminars which will serve to further educate my community on climate science, awareness, and solutions. These climate literacy and education seminars will embolden my peers to join the fight against climate inaction. In addition to inspiring my peers at UNC and Duke, I plan to introduce the idea of adding climate literacy events to local middle and high school students. This will serve to inspire the youth to use their voices and stand up for what they believe in.

It seems like for the third month in a row, Cyberpunk 2077 is again in the news but this time it's more serious. The parent company of Cyberpunk 2077 developer, CD Projekt has been hacked, the company revealed in a statement this morning.
The company revealed that the targeted cyber-attack of its network happened yesterday and one who orchestrated the attack left a ransom note.
Important Update pic.twitter.com/PCEuhAJosR
— CD PROJEKT RED (@CDPROJEKTRED) February 9, 2021
The note in general reads like someone with the mentality of a child from 2007 but the attacker is threatening to sell and leak all the data they've gathered from the network they wiped out; CD Projekt confirms they have backups ready. That data includes full source code copies of Cyberpunk 2077, Witcher 3, Gwent and an unreleased version of Witcher 3.
They're also threatening to release all documents relating to the company's accounting, administration, legal, HR, and investor relations divisions. Thankfully, CD Project confirms no data on any personal information of players of its games or users of its services were hacked.
All data will be sent to the attacker's contacts in the gaming media; which I hope don't publish that content at all, instead sends any information to CD Projekt and the rightful authorities.
CD Projekt responded by stating they will not give in to the attacker's negotiation with the attacker in any way. To combat the attack, the game publisher has reached out to law enforcement, the president of the personal data protection office and an IT forensic specialist to officially open an investigation on the attack.
From what I can tell from the ransom note, the attacker had a strong personal motivation to attack CD Projekt Red, unlike other cyber attacks which are motivated to cause an economic impact.
The attacker says their motivation outright in the note, they want to bring down the company's public image down even more. While reactions are cheering on the hack for CD Projekt releasing a "broken game", I can't but help wear my humanity on my skin and feel empathy for the hard-working employees at CD Projekt whose years of hard work is being threatened right now.
I hope everything works out and they find the attacker and bring them to justice. I hope the next time we hear from the makers of Cyberpunk 2077 it's much more positive news.

Clarence Clyde Seedorf (born 1 April 1976) is a Dutch professional football manager and former player.
I don't have a fixed rule. I don't eat the same things every day. Sometimes I also eat pasta or rice in the evening. It happened for example after a series of workouts that required a carbohydrate intake. Rather than sticking to a diet. we should learn to listen to ourselves. Recognize what we need and what is good for our body.
From a 2021 interview with Ruetir.com:
Any advice to a forty-year-old who wants to keep fit?
"Looking for his physical balance. And I'll stop here, to be honest: what is valid for me does not apply to others. I am always looking for things that I like and make me feel good and I always discover new ones. Identify the path that makes you feel good and follow him. It's not difficult. "
But what do you do for example?
"In terms of nutrition, I almost totally changed what I eat compared to what I ate 10 years ago. To say, before for example I drank a lot of tea. But for 7/8 years I have discovered ginger infused in hot water: it is a natural antibiotic".
Do you happen to make sacrifices at the table?
"No. I eat anything. Even sweets. There is no point in hurting ourselves psychologically and giving up everything we like. Of course, I don't eat sweets every day. Let's say it can happen once twice a week. But, however, I don't do diets. "
An example of your daily diet?
"I don't have a fixed rule. I don't eat the same things every day. Sometimes I also eat pasta or rice in the evening. It happened for example after a series of workouts that required a carbohydrate intake. Rather than sticking to a diet. we should learn to listen to ourselves. Recognize what we need and what is good for our body. "
And how do you listen to your body?
"Beginning to be present to ourselves when we eat and drink. We must not do it distractedly. Because food is digested better in this way. Well, if I really had to give an advice, pay attention to yourself. It was precisely the ability to pick up the signals. of the body which allowed me to have a long career with very few injuries. When I felt that something was out of the norm I immediately gave it attention. I tried to prevent breakages by listening to my body ".
Speaking of sports: how do you train?
"I do everything. And I don't neglect the weights: they are important, they have a strong relationship with hormones and testosterone. I pay a lot of attention to the core area and I also do aerobic training because balance is important. This is what I do in gym, and which then I will need to support myself during my outdoor sports such as football and tennis which I do not give up ".
Today the gyms are full of women and men over 40. What would he tell him not to do.
"Don't overdo it. Be wary of trainers who push you too far and send you home full of pain for a week. Our body deserves respect: results are obtained with patience and perseverance. A good coach is what pushes you to give the best, not to go beyond what you can do ".

There is a growing number of things that should deeply concern you in today's world wide web and these 7 ways of protecting your privacy online should be one of them. The days when you could go online worry-free and enjoy browsing the (limited at that time) number of new and exciting information and services you could find are long gone. Our list of the 11 countries with most hackers and cyber criminals should give you one of the important examples, the other one being services and people you voluntarily surrender information that is used to vastly change your online experience.
Ever since people realized it is a serious source of money, not only for the ever-so-odd-freelancing graduate but more so for the gigantic corporations that already existed before it, as well as the ones that came to life through it, the internet has been a very different place. Nowadays you have to battle endless advertisements, interest-oriented suggestions on everything from what you should watch, listen to and buy to the type of change your life needs and other deep issues and so much more. The problem is that this all was coined as an "enhancing" factor to an already rapidly advancing technology. However, it rarely serves the interests of people who just want to discover better, more efficient or new things online. They serve the entity which pays the most for placement and this is, obviously, the rich corporations, companies and organizations. Before you start moving your mouse cursor to the "close tab" button, give it a moment of thought and don't just call it a "tinfoil hat" type of thing because we are moving on to the more cyberpunk dystopian part.
Surveillance only means being manically motored for every action of yours to many people. It means to them that there is a way for you to be followed throughout the duration your movement in a given space and your actions being recorded. You wouldn't really associate it with your daily habit of looking up cute baby animals online but there is a crystal clear fact that your actions online are being carefully surveyed by sites interested in them. For example, a website that sells hammers would really love to know if you looked up something related to hammers online so it could, in one way or another, get the message that they have the new iHammer 8 at their store across to you. This sort of practice is currently one of the less malignant you could come across and most certainly not confined to two or three evil corporations. It is, to a worrying extent, how things work online today.
There are other, far more worrying things that you should protect yourself against but for the sake of keeping things simple and giving you a good start, let's take a look at 7 ways of protecting your privacy online.

Everyone among the so called Hindu right wing, a large number of who can give a run for the money to the left for half baked knowledge and clichéd repetition, love to cite this Thomas Macaulay quote:-
"In one point I fully agree with the gentlemen to whose general views I am opposed. I feel with them, that it is impossible for us, with our limited means, to attempt to educate the body of the people. We must at present do our best to form a class who may be interpreters between us and the millions whom we govern; a class of persons, Indian in blood and colour, but English in taste, in opinions, in morals, and in intellect.
This quote is used, shared and ruminated upon by the so called right wingers who are ever so eager to bring out how British ruined education in India ,but get their children educated in the same schools they criticize and gloat about the marks that they get in the same examination system.
But this quote above is just half of the quote. Lets look at its subsequent part:-
To that class we may leave it to refine the vernacular dialects of the country, to enrich those dialects with terms of science borrowed from the Western nomenclature, and to render them by degrees fit vehicles for conveying knowledge to the great mass of the population."
Anglophiles and British raj romanticizers will be very quick to jump in and say that this proves Macaulay's love and concern for Indians to get them to 'civilize' and get educated. But this infact is what the evil genius British Raj was, this is all about creating a race of 'brown sahibs' who will speak the master's language, and see the world with the master's eyes, develop a life long aversion to their own language, act as a 'safety valve' between the masters and the 'unwashed' natives that could turn violent, and also act as the tool to subjugate the natives and 'condition' them into nothing more than beasts of burden.
The total number of Sati cases at the time of British Raj were next to negligible, and least of all in Bengal, which fell under the rule of the East India Company first. A long dead tradition had to be brought back to life in their narrative.
We must remember that for a colonial power to ascertain and legitimise its rule over its subjects, it needs to form a narrative that will legitimise their rule. A narrative, that will proclaim that the 'natives' need to be 'saved' from their backward beliefs and superstitions and given a just and equal society which only the coloniser is capable of, given his 'superior' culture and race.
The easiest way of doing it is to produce a class of the local population, educated in the colonizer's ethos, who will always look upto him and will hate their native culture and the working class. Its good if the 'brown sahib' converts to Christianity. But its even better if the brown sahib retains his Hindu name, because that will give him a smokescreen to do his master's will of 'reconstruction' and social engineering.
Let's have a look at a very prominent name among them, Raja Ram Mohun Roy. A name that is hailed as pioneer of modernity in India by Hindu-bashing left-liberal quarters.
He was monumental in successfully convincing the British Parliament and the East India Company of the inferiority as well as worthlessness of Sanskrit education while at the same time championing the cause of English schooling for Indians. Macaulay himself would have been proud.
But how is he a villain? Wasnt he a reformer who helped abolished ''sutee" with mai baap governor general William Bentick?
For those who fall into this lie of sati being a norm in Hindus forget this logic that had it been the standard practice, Hindus would have died out in a few hundred years as there would be noone left to procreate. Nine out of ten times, it is the wife that survives the husband. Women on an average, live more than men by 5-10 years. So if every woman kills herself on her husband's funeral pyre without exception, its a recipe for demographic suicide, especially in olden times when most today's curable diseases were deadly and took away a huge amount of population regularly.
Sati was practiced very sporadically , mostly among the ruling class, where the childless widow of the deceased king ascended the funeral pyre with him. This decision was voluntary and the woman in question was always discouraged from carrying it out. Its Ram Mohun's making a case against several 'defects' of Hinduism such as the custom of sati (thanks to which Hinduism is still viewed, by the less knowledgeable person feeding on left controlled media in the west or elsewhere, as a religion and culture which burns its widowed women – a notion popularised by Roy's exaggeration of a statistically insignificant phenomenon in India).
The British Empire had scant interest in social and educational reforms. Ram Mohun Roy's biggest ''reform'' was to reject polytheism, traditional Hindu education system, and to push monotheism. His Persian and Arabic education had influenced his monotheistic idea of god,even before he learnt a word of English. His aim was to replace Sanskrit based education by English based one, via the schools that he built.
"Nowadays many acknowledge it for a fact that Thomas Babington Macaulay, whose passionate, long-drawn and scathing attack on Hindu knowledge systems in particular and the Hindu culture in general – popularly known as "Macaulay's Minute on Education" – was the ultimate instrument that sealed the fate of India as an essentially westernised nation and society in its post-independent republican avatar.
As a member of the Council of India, Macaulay had presented his minute on education before the Committee on Public Instruction, on February 2, 1835, decisively altering the mood of the Council and Committee members in his favour and clearing the path for the English Education Act 1835.
So far the story of the paradigm change in Indian education systems is quite a common knowledge. However, what many may not know is that even before Macaulay could present his infamous Minute, Raja Ram Mohun Roy had already written a lengthy memorial to Lord Amherst, the then Governor-General of India on December 11, 1823 (12 years before Macaulay's Minute made its appearance in the scene), launching a vicious attack on the traditional Sanskrit education system prevalent at that time in India.
Ram Mohun Roy questioned the effectiveness of imparting traditional education through the Sanskrit language. He contended that the amount of funds (which was somewhere around one lakh rupees at that time) channelized for educating Indians (in accordance with the Parliament's agreement in the East India Company's charter, 1813) should instead be invested in employing "European gentlemen of talents and education to instruct the natives of India in mathematics, natural philosophy, chemistry, anatomy, and other useful sciences which the nations of Europe have carried to a degree of perfection that have raised them above the inhabitants of the other parts of the world" (Roy's letter to Amherst, 1823). In his memorial to Governor-General Lord Amherst, Roy attacked the policy of the General Committee of Public Instruction, which, led by H. H. Wilson, had established a Sanskrit College in Calcutta in January 1824. Roy, on the other hand, batted for founding a college devoted completely to the European system of learning instead of a spending the government's money on yet another Sanskrit college (the first of its kind had already come up in Varanasi in the year 1791).
The General Committee on Public Instruction had allocated funds for the establishment of a Sanskrit College in Calcutta, finally opening the same in the year 1823 on the grounds opposite to the Hindoo College (now Presidency University), bastion of European education that used English as its medium of instruction and where the maverick teacher Henry Derozio was leading a band of young students, in thought and deed, towards radical thinking which made their parents fear, not without good reason, that their wards would eventually "reject the Hinduism of their forefathers convert to Christianity or join the Brahmo Samaj" (Seely 2004)."
Ram Mohan Roy acted as a political agitator and agent, representing Christian missionaries whilst employed by the East India Company and simultaneously pursuing his vocation as a Pandit. One of them was William Carey, a Baptist shoemaker turned missionary who landed in India in 1793, with the main objective to translate, publish and distribute the Bible in Indian languages and propagate Christianity to the Indian people.He realised the "mobile" (i.e. service classes) Brahmins and Pundits were most able to help him in this endeavour, and he began gathering them. He learnt the Buddhist and Jain religious works to better argue the case for Christianity in the cultural context.In 1795, Carey made contact with a Sanskrit scholar, the Tantric Hariharananda Vidyabagish, who later introduced him to Ram Mohan Roy, who wished to learn English. Between 1796 and 1797, the trio of Carey, Vidyavagish and Roy created a religious work known as the "Maha Nirvana Tantra" (or "Book of the Great Liberation") and positioned it as a religious text to "the One True God". Rammohan was clever enough to understand that his ideas were more welcome if only people looked at it as age old wisdom rather than a revolutionary new idea. "Maha Nirvana Tantra" therefore supported monotheism and had sections masking prevailing progressive judicial thoughts as ancient discourse on law. In 1797, Ram Mohan reached Calcutta and became a moneylender, mainly to impoverished Englishmen of the Company living beyond their means. Ram Mohan also continued his vocation as pundit in the English courts and started to make a living for himself.
Ram Mohun Roy began learning Greek and Latin. From 1803-15, he was a clerk with East India Company's "Writing Service". During this time, he also wrote Tuḥfat al-Muwaḥḥidīn, he championed the cause of Monotheism." Roy protested against the idolatries and superstitions of Hinduism and tried to identify a common religious foundation based on the doctrine of the unity of God. He advocated for the supremacy of human reason and conscience over all outside authority whether of scripture, priest or prophet." He also opposed the principle of Trinitariasm' (God, Son Jesus and the holy spirit) of the Christianity (which would be his reason to fall out with William Carey in 1819). He rejected polytheism, idol-worship and rituals of different religions. He advocated monotheism or unity among gods. He also advised people to be guided by the conscience. He inspired men to cultivate rationality. To all he appealed to observe the principle of unity of God.
Ram Mohun Roy mainly attacked his own community, the Kulin Brahmins, and this target was understandable, as they were then in control of the many temples of Bengal. With Dwarkanath's backing, he launched a series of attacks against Baptist "Trinitarian" Christianity and was now considerably assisted in his theological debates by the Unitarian faction of Christianity."
In 1828, Ram Mohun Roy founded the Brahmo Samaj, which according to eminent historians was a social reform movement. Its core beliefs were:-
- Brahmo Samaj believe that the most fundamental doctrines of Brahmoism are at the basis of every religion followed by man.
- Brahmo Samaj believe in the existence of One Supreme God — "a God, endowed with a distinct personality & moral attributes equal to His nature, and intelligence befitting the Author and Preserver of the Universe," and worship Him alone.
- Brahmo Samaj believe that worship of Him needs no fixed place or time. "We can adore Him at any time and at any place, provided that time and that place are calculated to compose and direct the mind towards Him."
So reform= monotheism?? "If not in practice, in theory the Brahmo 'religion' – that grew out of Roy's monotheistic, Unitarian Church-inspired theology – has been as intolerant and as violent toward the idol-worshipping Hindu as any Christian or Muslim zealot would be. One of the victims of this zealotry of the Brahmo-s was none other than Swami Vivekananda, who was ridiculed, maligned, and obstructed in every possible way during his mission to the USA in 1893, both in the USA and back at home. Swami ji writes in one of his letters: "I could do much more work but for the Brahmos and missionaries who have been opposing me unceasingly." (Vivekananda, Volume 6, Epistles – Second Series)"
The idol worship denigration that Ram Mohun Roy showed is not very different from the mentality of the Islamist or Church agents who devote their entire life to the 'holy' cause 'cleanse' the world of 'heathenism'.
Also a fact which is not much spoken about is that, his disrespectful speech and actions towards the Hinduism that was so dear to his parents finally broke their patience and he was driven out of his house in teens due to his relentless offensive attitude towards Hinduism.
Ram Mohun Roy started roaming around the country and even went to Tibet, and was promptly shown the door after criticizing idol worship by the lamas! He could finally return to his native place only after the demise of his father.
In 1830, Ram Mohun Roy travelled to the United Kingdom as an ambassador of the Mughal Empire, to supposedly ensure that Lord William Bentinck's Bengal Sati Regulation, 1829 banning the practice of Sati was not overturned. But his real motive was to successfully persuade the British government to increase the stipend of the Mughal Emperor by £30,000! Roy also petitioned the King to increase his allowance and perquisites! Also on the list was his lifelong passion, the campaign against Sanskrit education and for English education.
It was no secret that the loot the British Empire was carrying out of India. Ram Mohun Roy's solution to it? Unrestricted English immigration to India! "Ram Mohun Roy appeared in 1831 before a parliamentary committee in England studying the renewal of the company's charter. While giving testimony on the question of free European emigration to India, Roy expressed the opinion that English emigration should be unrestricted since English settlers in India 'from motives of benevolence, public spirit, and fellow feeling toward their native neighbors, would establish schools and other seminaries of education for the cultivation of the English language throughout the country, and for the diffusion of a knowledge of European arts and sciences."
Lets have a look at Ram Mohun Roy's mausoleum:-
Why will the British give such an honourable burial to an Indian patriot (in their own country, and that too at a time when dark skinned humans were not even considered humans by the white colonial overlords), if Ram Mohun Roy was one , as the progressive and western historians tell us? And why will they give an Indian patriot a title (Raja is a title)?
If Ram Mohun Roy was a linguist, why couldn't he use his knowledge to bring about a perfect synchrony of the eastern and western media of education rather than wanting to purge Sanskrit and other indic languages from the curriculum? What kind of linguist wants to import and impose a foreign language that would eventually erode the spiritual-cultural ethos of the country?
Ironically, Ram Mohun Roy was not even accepted fully by the European Christian missionaries for which he strived so hard all his life. He was, on the contrary, called by the same derogatory names that the Christian missionaries reserve for all Hindus. He was 'rediscovered' in the late 19th century by the pro British Indian elite and Western left-liberals via the Hindu-hating Brahmo samajists in the late 19th to 20th century, and started projecting him as the "Father/Maker of Modern India".
Ram Mohun Roy died in England in 1833, of meningitis and was buried in southern Bristol. Its a fitting divine justice that a person like him did not get a place in his motherland even after death. Who says there is no justice in the world?

So you say you're Subleasing.
In this economy, office tenants with excess space frequently consider subleasing as a way to bring in revenue and cut their expenses. Likewise, businesses who need space consider subleasing to get more flexibility on their rental rate and other leasing terms. This article discusses many of the common considerations that both parties (the sublandlord and subtenant) may face.

Grover, Christopher and Piggott, Linda (2013) Employment and Support Allowance:capability, personalisation and disabled people in the UK. Scandinavian Journal of Disability Research, 15 (2). pp. 170-184. ISSN 1501-7419
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
In 2008 the Employment and Support Allowance was introduced in the UK as the income replacement benefit for disabled people. In this paper we focus upon the reasons for its introduction, the notions of disability and the two main ideas – capability and personalization – that provide the framework for its operation. The paper engages with the arguments put forward by the UK's government that the Employment and Support Allowance will enable disabled people to access paid work in greater numbers. The paper argues that Employment and Support Allowance will become part of a disabling employment architecture because it does little to improve the human capital of disabled people and is concerned with getting them into entry-level employment that is part of the 'low pay, no pay' cycle.

While there's never really been a "bad" Zelda game (unless you count this, and you shouldn't), 2006's The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is the closest the series has come to producing a black sheep. When the game was first unveiled at E3 2004, it literally made grown men and women cry. At the time, Nintendo was dogged with a reputation for being the "kiddie" console manufacturer, due to the developer's defiant disregard for online multiplayer and first-person shooters. This new, realistic Zelda was a far cry from the hyper-stylized direction they took the franchise in just one year prior with The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, proving that Nintendo had been listening to their fans after all—the minute-long trailer seemed to singlehandedly herald a renaissance for the company.
Leading up to its release at the end of 2006, Twilight Princess was the subject of multiple delays and a ridiculous amount of hype. In an unprecedented decision, the game was finally released on multiple platforms—the Nintendo GameCube, and the company's new console, the Wii. The Wii version is one of the biggest gaffes in the developer's history, highlighting everything wrong with tacked-on motion control. The greatly superior GameCube version, having been released at the end of that console's lifecycle, was understandably eclipsed by it's faux next-gen counterpart. Instead of being the grand slam it was promised to be, Twilight Princess ended up being more of a punt.
Nintendo's just-released new HD remaster of Twilight Princess for the Wii U, at least, serves to recontextualize the title, while also refining both its visuals and its dated control scheme.
This time around, the Wii U's motion-sensitive GamePad can be used to aim projectiles, but pretty much every other action is controlled conventionally. (Those averse to the GamePad will be glad to see that the game also supports Nintendo's more conventional Pro Controller.) The biggest advantage the GamePad serves is its use as a portable map and arsenal, which gives you the ability to quickly switch out Link's items in real time without much interruption. And the high-def sheen—while not too dramatic—is definitely apparent when you first step out into the game's massive overworld, or during its dreamy, sepia-tinted "Wolf Link" segments.
Unlike The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask—which in 2000 was the subject of schoolyard debates due to its imposed time constraint, but has since been disintered by nostalgic millennials and revisionist game critics who probably should have realized it was amazing the first time around—Twilight Princess' flaws have only grown more apparent with time. It's no secret that the company's biggest motivation for taking the game in a "serious" direction was to appeal to non-Japanese gamers, but in doing so, Nintendo created a game that feels remarkably confined to its time.
This was an era in American popular culture when "dark" was all the rage, and that aesthetic wasn't limited to video games—people were still excited about The Matrix and nu-metal was commercially viable. Superimposed on the relatively lighthearted Zelda franchise, this darkness hasn't held up.
Thankfully, not all of the series' quintessential Japanese quirkiness was forsaken: Among the game's most memorable characters are the ragtag posse of mischief-making children, led by their youngest member, the smart-talking toddler Malo; the soup-loving, benevolent yeti who speaks in all-caps; and Oocoo, a terrifyingly adorable half-chicken, half-human that takes its design from M.C. Escher's Another World. And then there's the fact that the game boasts some of the series' most novel, artfully-designed dungeons and, bar-none, the greatest Master Sword hunt yet. With a new Zelda for Wii U (supposedly) coming out later this year—an entry that, once again, promises to significantly upset this series' old, safe formula—there isn't a better time to revisit Twilight Princes, a game that strove for perfection and triumphantly faltered.

FREEHOLD TOWNSHIP – Five years ago, JB's Diner, a popular community landmark at the intersection of Route 537 and Route 524 in Freehold Township, was destroyed by fire.
In 2018, the owner of the diner received a use variance from the Freehold Township Planning Board to rebuild the diner in the residential zone where it had been located.
And finally, on Nov. 4, the owner of the diner received preliminary and final major site plan approval from the board to construct a 2,100-square-foot building that will seat 38 patrons at 14 tables.
If all goes well, construction of the new JB's Diner could begin in the spring.
Attorney Donna Jennings, of the firm Wilentz, Goldman and Spitzer, of Woodbridge, and other professionals, represented John Bochis during the meeting. The applicant and owner were listed as Nancy and George Bochis.
Jennings called on several professionals to provide testimony about the plan to build a new diner and said one key point of the application provides that the impervious coverage on the site will be reduced from 75% to 61%. She said the diner would operate from 6 a.m. to midnight seven days a week.
Board Chairman Rich Gatto read from reports provided by the board's professionals which indicate that the Monmouth County Planning Board has conditionally approved the application; that the new diner will essentially be the same size as the previous diner (80 square feet smaller); that 33 parking spaces will be provided; and that a dedication of land to the county to account for planned improvements at the location have reduced the size of the property on which JB's Diner will be constructed from 28,965 square feet to 27,265 square feet.
The professionals' reports indicated that public water and public sewer will serve the diner and that the vehicle trips generated by the new diner are expected to be the same as in the past.
Engineer Rakesh Darji testified on behalf of the applicant and said the diner will be 2,100 square feet in size, with improvements to include landscaping and a fence on one side of the property.
All turns will be permitted into and out of the property at an access point on Route 524 (Elton-Adelphia Road); at an access point on Route 537, patrons leaving the diner will not be permitted to turn left onto Route 537.
Darji said the prohibition on left turns was agreed to by the applicant with Monmouth County representatives.
"Access onto the site from Route 537 and Route 524 is light years better" than it was before, Darji said, and the board's engineer, Tim White, agreed with that statement.
There will be designated access points (i.e., driveways) at the new diner; the previous diner allowed motorists to enter the property at any point from Route 524 and Route 537.
Architect David Wallace provided details about the materials to be used in the construction of the new diner and the building's appearance, which he said would have a "residential feel" to blend in with the surrounding area.
In the 2,100-square-foot building, 1,000 square feet will comprise the dining area and 1,100 square feet will comprise the kitchen and offices, he said.
Testimony provided by the applicant's representatives indicated there will be 14 tables in the diner (nine tables with two seats and five tables with four seats), to accommodate 38 patrons. There will not be counter seating.
Planner Christine Cofone discussed the criteria needed to obtain several bulk variances and said that in her opinion, the application before the board provided improved access to the site, improved parking conditions and improved landscaping. The applicant proposed one freestanding sign and no wall signs on the building.
Cofone said the "size and look of the building fits in with the neighborhood" and noted that homes in the area are larger than the proposed 2,100-square-foot diner.
"I see no detriment to the zone plan," she said.
No one from the public commented on the JB's Diner application when given the opportunity to do so and a motion was made to approve the application. The board members gave their consent in a unanimous voice vote.
"I know it has been a long road. Good luck," Gatto told Bochis after the board members voted to permit the construction of a new JB's Diner.

Alec and Hilaria Baldwin's 'Brave' Daughter Carmen, 6, Gets Her Tooth Pulled Out by Dr. Oz
Dr. Mehmet Oz to the rescue!
On Sunday, the host of The Dr. Oz Show, 59, shared an Instagram video of him helping 6-year-old Carmen Baldwin take out her tooth as her mother Hilaria Baldwin watched the whole thing go down.
In the video, Hilaria, 35, stood beside her eldest child, whom she shares with husband Alec, as Dr. Oz used a string to rip out the young girl's tooth. After the TV host successfully did so, he gave a napkin to Carmen to bite down on, while Hilaria, who appeared grossed out, looked away in the other direction.
"Carmen, you're so brave. Everybody clap for Carmen!" family members said in the background as they cheered for Carmen, who barely flinched during the whole encounter.
In his Instagram caption, Dr. Oz joked that "a doctor is always on call," and explained that Alec, 61, was not in the video because "he's not one for the sight of blood."
"I used a string to eject the tooth (it keeps the child from accidentally swallowing the tooth…and beats the old string and door trick)," he wrote. "I'm curious about your best tactics for removing baby teeth. An apple? Weeks of wiggling? Just let them fall out? And dare I ask what the going rate is for the Tooth Fairy? (My guess is a few bucks)."
Hilaria also shared the video of Dr. Oz taking out her daughter's tooth, writing, "Tooth number 2 is out! I don't know if I would be brave enough to pull it out😱!!"
Hilaria and Alec have four children together: Carmen, Romeo Alejandro David, 16 months, Leonardo Ángel Charles, 3, and Rafael Thomas, 4. Alec is also dad to daughter Ireland, 23.
The parents are currently expecting their fifth child together, and on Saturday, they revealed the sex of their family's new addition: a girl!
In an Instagram video, Hilaria shared, each of their kids held a baby doll wrapped up in white blankets as they were instructed to look at the color of clothing their doll was wearing.
"Our little reveal 💙💖. We are so excited!" the mom-to-be captioned.
The actor and his wife last did a sex-reveal via cake with the help of Leo, Rafael and Carmen to find out that they would be getting a brother. (Romeo was born in May 2018.)
This time around, Carmen was really gunning for a little sister. While the Baldwins thought about no longer conceiving after Romeo, Hilaria has made a few comments about her daughter's desire for another sister, after dealing with three younger brothers.
"She was a little bit disappointed. [She said,] 'How about you have a girl first, then you can have another boy?' I was like, 'It doesn't work that way!' " The Living Clearly Method author told PEOPLE in November 2017. "She's like, 'No, you don't understand, Mommy. It's going to be a girl.' I was like, 'No, I promise. I promise you it's a boy.' "
Despite already having an older sister in Ireland, Hilaria told PEOPLE of Carmen, "She is committed to a fifth child."
The fifth-time mom-to-be shared last month alongside an Instagram video of the baby's heartbeat that she and her husband are expecting again, not long after he teased that they were planning another pregnancy.
The spouses' joyful news comes after the Mom Brain podcast co-host revealed in the spring that she had suffered a miscarriage and undergone a subsequent dilation & curettage surgery.
