Small download, fast install. Firewall stealths all ports, makes its own program control decisions, blocks and identifies exploits. Accurate antispam needs no configuration. Includes multiple "shields" to prevent malware attacks.
Less effective than top suites at removing and blocking malware. Minor drag on system performance.
Bottom Line
Fans of avast!'s antivirus can now get full security without going elsewhere for firewall and antispam protection. It's still just the essentials, but, if that's what you're looking for, it's a good choice.
The antispam component filters incoming POP3 and IMAP e-mail, marking spam messages by inserting "*** SPAM ***" in the header. The Mail Shield module also strips out any malware and marks such messages with "*** VIRUS ***". Avast! integrates with Microsoft Outlook as a plug-in and hence can automatically configure Outlook to move spam messages into a special folder. Those using avast! with other e-mail clients will need to define a message rule to do that job. This full integration also means it can filter any type of e-mail account in Outlook.
The avast! spam filter requires no configuration or training. You will want to turn on the option that automatically whitelists anyone to whom you send e-mail. And be sure you don't turn off the LiveFeed option. This feature uses a constantly-updated online database for more accurate spam filtering, and it seems to work quite well.
I tested the spam filter with over ten thousand messages from several real-world e-mail accounts. Downloading a thousand messages with the spam filter engaged took about 30% more time than without. You'd never notice that negligible slowdown. The filter proved to be quite accurate. It blocked just 1.2 percent of valid personal mail and 1.6 of newsletters and other valid bulk mail. 92.9 percent of the undeniable spam was correctly identified as such. That's better than the spam filtering in most suites, though ZoneAlarm Extreme Security 2010 still rules, with 97.0 percent of spam caught and zero valid personal messages.

avast! Internet Security 5.0 Antispam Chart
Decent Virus and Spyware Protection
Avast! gets good (but not great) marks from the independent testing labs; the best commercial suites get high marks across the board. The anti-malware protection in the avast! suite is exactly the same as what's found in avast! Free Antivirus 5.0. That's a great benefit for those choosing the free product, which performed well in comparison with other free products. But, again, top commercial products tested out better than avast! in almost all categories. Here's a rundown of how avast! shapes up against suitesfor full details on the antivirus/antispyware features see my review of avast! Free Antivirus 5.0.
Avast!'s score of 7.1 for malware removal is good, but it doesn't approach that of the top suites. PC Tools Internet Security 2010 scored 8.3 on this test, and Norton came close, with an 8.0. In a parallel test using commercial keyloggers, avast! scored just 3.8 points; Norton was the top suite in this category with 7.5; Panda took a respectable 6.2 points. As always, I give much less weight to the keylogger test, in terms of both removal and blocking.
The many "shields" comprising avast!'s realtime protection were quite effective at preventing malware from infesting my clean test system. avast!'s 9.4 points tied BitDefender Total Security 2010. However, Norton and PC Tools (along with Panda Cloud Antivirus Free Edition 1.0) did even betterall attaining 9.6 points. As for blocking installation of keyloggers, avast! scored a lowly 3.9 points.
While the actual test results are the same as those of the free product, I expect more from a full-scale non-free suite, so I've given the suite a slightly lower rating than the free product in this area.

With three venues for a giant exhibition, Gérard Garouste finally gets the honors from his fellow Frenchmen. Musée de la Chasse in the Marais is showing his Acteon and Diana, a hunting theme, Daniel Templon has two shows in his two galleries on rue Beaubourg, and Ecole Nationale des Beaux Arts celebrates his recent election at the Academy with a large installation. It is wonderful to see one of France's most important painter, celebrated properly at last!
I had told you about this show early in January hoping that it would be one of the highlights of 2018 and I think it will be. The hanging of 30 paintings from the last two years, at galerie Templon is surprising and consistent, shows a true artistic virtuosity and it includes enough self portraits for us to try and penetrate the mind of the artist. I have always been a fan of Garouste, who juggles with books, religious writings, mythological stories and fairy tales, mixing the Talmud, the Bible and Ancient Greece. His wife Elisabeth is omnipresent in the portraits and one feels more clever from just looking at his art.
At Musée de la Chasse, the downstairs gallery is devoted to Actéon trying to seduce goddess Diana in the show Diane and Actéon. For his punishment he will be turned into a deer! This series is more ancient (2014) but is very well chosen for the premisces.
At Ecole Nationale des Beaux Arts de Paris, the famous art school on the Seine, the courtyard is entirely devoted to monumental installations and theater decors. Based on Rabelais and Dante, the labyrinth created with fake tapestries and anamorphosis, shows the width of Garouste's talent. The first work by him I ever saw was the decor of the Privilège's dining room at the Palace in 1979. It was already mesmerizing. He also painted the stage curtain of the Châtelet in 1989, when Jacques Chirac was mayor of Paris.
The three exhibitions go on until April 15 at Beaux Arts, May 12 at Galerie Templon and July 1 at Musée de la Chasse. and soon Templon will open a new space designed by Jean Michel Wilmotte, at 28 rue du Grenier Saint Lazare…

This is a great week to celebrate -- I recently wrote and published a new children's book, and the timing couldn't be better. It's Children's Book Week, and next week is Be Kind to Animals Week. (Additionally, Monday, April 30 was Adopt a Shelter Pet Day).
From Lassie and Max the dogs, to Dewey and Skippyjon Jones the cats, animals have played a role in books, TV, and movies for generations. Do you remember your favorite animal book, TV or movie from childhood?
Mine was "Follow My Leader," written during the 1950s but still a part of school libraries during the 1960s and 1970s when I grew up. The primary human character, Jimmy, becomes blind after a firecracker incident. He learns to rely upon a German Shepherd guide dog named Leader, who breaks down Jimmy's emotional walls as well as helps escort him in this new reality of blindness.
For eons, animals have helped people, being used for hauling, protection, hunting, and rodent control, among so many other situations. These days, animals are used for therapy, in military service, as guide animals, and search and rescue animals, as well as companionship. Children especially respond well to dogs, cats, and other animals. Reading about animals is also a joy for many children, and so this week we celebrate kids, books, kindness and pets in honor of Children's Book Week and Be Kind to Animals Week.
As a writer of inspirational pet stories for children and adults, it's my joy to share the wonder of animals, especially companions like dogs and cats. And, it's my special pleasure to announce the publication of my newest children's book "Jeremiah Finds a Home," the story of my rescued, adopted Shih Tzu, Jeremiah. He lived in a puppy mill for three years, was rescued by Hearts United for Animals in 2016, and was adopted by me and my husband in late 2017. Although it took time for him to adjust to his new home and very own family, Jeremiah is a joyful dog who makes us all smile. My goal is to teach children and families about puppy mills, the importance of rescue, and the joy of pet adoption. The book is available on Amazon, and you can learn more about the story (told non-graphically) on my website.
There is much cruelty in the world, toward people, including children, and to pets. Kindness must be taught and modeled to kids. We as adults can, and should, do it. Pets do showcase kindness, and exposing children to therapy pets and read-to-the-dog programs at schools and libraries will help instill kindness as well. Books can also be a catalyst of kindness through subtle messages woven into the story. Just as Leader the dog in "Follow My Leader" showcases kindness toward the blind boy, Jimmy, or Lassie to Timmy, children learn compassion, kindness, friendship and other great lessons from pet books (and movies – think of how the animals helped each other in the "Homeward Bound" story).
As we celebrate children, books, pets, and kindness these next few weeks, model positive traits to your kids and read to them stories that showcase those characteristics, too. We can all impact the lives of children and the lives of animals in positive, caring ways.
What was your favorite animal book, movie or TV show and why? Leave your thoughts in the comments below.
My pets are characters in many of my stories. In the new book about Jeremiah, the Shih Tzu, the story is told from the dog's point-of-view. Mary, my cocker/ springer mix, has two books about her, including visiting a ranch and encountering different animals there.
Living in the 21st century has many perks, from technological gadgets to how, as a society, we view animals. According to the American Pet Products Association, 68 percent of people living in the United States own a pet, with the majority (60.2 million) having dogs and 47.1 million having cats. The organization estimates that nearly $70 billion was spent on pets by pet owners in 2017, up from 66.75 billion in 2016. Americans certainly seem to love their pets!
Still, improvements are greatly needed, especially in the areas of animal adoption and pet ownership responsibility.
According to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), nearly 6.5 million animals enter shelters and rescues every year; they are comprised of owner surrenders, strays, and animals rescued from hoarding, dog fighting, and puppy/kitty mill operations. Only about half are adopted. More than 700,000 strays are reunited with their owners; sadly, less than five percent of the cats that come in as strays are reclaimed, and many of the animals brought in are not spayed or neutered.
Pet ownership responsibility includes caring for one's animal, providing food, water, shelter, and medical treatment. In addition to vaccinations and teeth cleaning, medical care should include spaying and neutering. Such procedures curb the number of litters born, and therefore, helps cut down on the number of animals needing homes, either through the owner giving/selling the youngsters or taking them to rescues and shelters. Cats and dogs can breed two to three times a year, having an average of six babies per litter. Multiple that out over the course of five to seven years, and you have thousands more animals per unsprayed female. For every kitten or puppy sold or given away by owners, that's one less adopted and therefore, one more possibly euthanized.
Until there are less strays, less owner relinquishment, more adoptions, and more spaying and neutering, no more animal hoarding or puppy/kitten mills, there will be the need for animal shelters and rescues.
We all can do our part to positively impact responsibility and rescue. Here are some suggestions:
Although America has come a long way since the 1970s when 12 to 20 million pets were killed in animal shelters across the country, there a great need still exists for pet ownership responsibility and, therefore, for animal rescues and shelters. Let's all do something to help continue the downward trend of euthanasia rates and increase pet ownership responsibility. Maybe one we will realize the #NoKill dream many animal welfare organizations envision – that no healthy, adoptable animal is euthanized – but it takes responsible pet owners to get there.
Be Kind to Animals Week overlaps with Children's Book Week. Kids can learn kindness to animals via reading. They also learn kindness through observation and interaction. During this special time, we can encourage children, other adults, as well as ourselves to be a bit kinder … and to read more.
There are many wonderful books available for children about animals. Within those pages, they can learn how to take care of animals as well as how pets take care of people. For a listing of great children's books about pets, visit http://dogtime.com/dog-health/general/5877-top-10-kid-friendly-pet-books and http://www.amazon.com/Best-Sellers-Books-Childrens-Pet/zgbs/books/2853.
"Teach the children well," are words in a Crosby, Stills and Nash song (see a YouTube video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztVaqZajq-I). Teaching children kindness toward people and pets offers great rewards for those kids, including opportunity to do good in a community and the opportunity to make new friends. In fact, according to a research study called Kindness Counts, "When kids performed acts of kindness or took notice of the pleasant places they visited, their happiness quotient increased ... (and) … they gained an average of 1.5 friends during the month-long period" (see related article at http://www.rootsofaction.com/art-kindness-teaching-children-care/).
What are some ways we can be kind to pets and people, and how can we more greatly instill kindness in others, including children? The list of ideas is endless, but here are some suggestions:
Open the Floodgates of Kindness!
"Teach the children well," are words in a song by Crosby, Stills and Nash (see the YouTube video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztVaqZajq-I). Teaching children kindness toward people and pets offers great rewards, including opportunity to do good in a community and opportunity for children to make new friends.

The annual "Be Kind to Animals Week," sponsored by the American Humane Association, is May 3 – 9, 2015. It's been 100 years since the creation of this specially-designated week. It's a week that provides parents, communities, and animal welfare organizations with opportunities to encourage kindness in children ... as well as adults.
Here are five ways to be kind to animals not only during this special week, but all throughout the year:
Open the floodgates of kindness toward pets and people during Be Kind to Animals Week and let it continue throughout your lifetime, teaching children empathy and compassion, and thereby impacting their lives -- and yours -- for the better.
It's Be Kind to Animals Week, a time set aside by the American Humane Association and other organizations to promote kindness to animals. This is a great time to reinforce to children the importance of kindness, not only to animals, but also to other people.
In this day and age of bullying, child neglect, anger, violence and other issues, re-inforcing the concept of kindness is critical. Children are vulnerable, children are teachable – they often emulate what they witness in adults within the sphere of influence.
Therefore, we adults need to take stock not only in how we treat our kids, but also how we treat other adults and how we interact with pets in our own household, as well as within our community.
The ASPCA (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) offers some tips for celebrating Be Kind to Animals Week with children. For example, you and your kids can volunteer together at a local shelter or rescue. Although you may not be able to walk dogs, you can hold a bake sale or a collection drive, taking in donations of money and items necessary to run the shelter. Inquire at your local humane society or animal shelter (1) what their volunteer guidelines are and/or (2) what items they currently need. Another idea: spend time together as a family with your own pet – take a walk, play in the park, or toss a ball in your backyard for awhile. Pets need social interaction with their human families; remember to take good care of your pets and involve your children in that care. Your children may want to start a Kind Club with their friends and develop projects to help the homeless animals of your community.
Every year, nearly 7 million animals enter shelters across this nation. What can you and your family do to help these homeless creatures and the people who care for them? You and your children can positively impact your community, and therefore, the nation, by showing kindness to animals, and to other people.

"Teach your children well," are part of the lyrics of a Crosby, Stills and Nash song. Those are words we can all live by, so let's teach our children, and ourselves, to be kind to others, both animals and people – when we do, we can all live in a better world.

Goodbye Alta, Hello Powder Magazine
Share | June 2nd, 2015 | By Guest Blogger
Words by Alta athlete, Drew Petersen
It was a no-brainer. For my last day before moving away from the mountains I wanted to go skiing. Sure, it was the last weekend in May, but the month on the calendar carries little weight in my decision-making process. It was also an easy decision on what to ski: Main Chute at Alta.
We skinned up in T-shirts, but it was still too warm. I was sweating like a stuffed pig at a Hawaiian Luau. Nearly halfway up I paused for a breath and looked around. There was not a hint of snow on the other side of the canyon. At that moment, another drop of perspiration ran down my brow, and I thought, 'Wow, maybe it is summer.'
We topped out and took in the view down the valley. Little Cottonwood was green, lush, and vibrant. The vegetation of the lower elevations looked alive and ready for the welcome sight of the summer sun. But still, we were on top of Baldy, skis in tow, and ready to descend the remaining snow from an interesting winter. The conditions in Main Chute were admittedly warm and heavy, as is to be expected this time of year. It skied well though, allowing for fast speeds and fun turns.
I smiled my way down the mountain, constantly being reminded of the good memories from the winter that has come to a close. The snow grew warmer the lower we dropped until finally, we arrived at the Collins base area. I removed my boots for the last time this season and took a seat on the tailgate of my truck. I was disappointed to admit that my ski season had finally ended, but I was elated to have skied one last lap in such an amazing place.
The following day, I ironically drove across the desert of Nevada. The thermometer read 109 degrees Fahrenheit, but my mind continuously reminisced on the previous day's turns. Furthermore, I daydreamed of the 2015-2016 winter to come, especially at Alta. I fantasized about my favorite powder stashes off Wildcat, the countless laps I would take through the steeps of Eagle's Nest, and of course the next time I would find myself dropping into Main Chute.
I have moved away from the Wasatch for now, to Southern California, but just for the summer. It seems wild, but I moved here to continue chasing my love and passion for the sport of skiing. I will be working as an Editorial Intern at Powder Magazine. I may be 750 miles away from Alta, but these are just the people and just the environment that understands why I didn't hesitate when I chose to ski Main Chute this past weekend.
See you back at Alta next winter, skiers.

Inventing Reality: towards a magical technology
May 2007: Grey House edition: ISBN 0-9540531-7-6 ~ Paperback ~ 106 pages ~ £7.95 - includes new chapter: 'Round the Bend'.
Gateway Books (Bath, England), 1986/1990; ISBN 0-946551-64-2
Now back in print... if you prefer a physical book, get one now from Grey House!
The entire content of the older 1990 edition of Inventing Reality is available for browsing on-line on this site. Or, if you prefer, you can download the .ZIP file of that edition of the book for viewing on your own machine.
June 1996: This rather odd little book is in many ways a key predecessor to the Wyrd series, and is perhaps the one of which I'm still most fond, even though it took off like a lead balloon... It was an attempt to weave together a new approach to science, technology and magic: like quite a lot of what I've written, it was way ahead of its time, and people seem to be discovering it now, just as it's about to drift into publishers' oblivion! Originally published as Towards a Magical Technology, the cover was so awful that most people thought it was supposed to be a joke-book, and eventually the publisher ripped the covers off and started again... a pity, because it's well worth reading.
[May 2007 update: the book is now back in print, thanks to some very hard work by Graeme Talboys at Grey House. Hooray!]
The cover-copy states:
Have you ever wanted to be really original - to be more creative? This novel book describes how the minds of geniuses work - how new inventions are often born.

This passage has come to me several times recently in reading arguments
I will keep the law given by God; sanctioned by man. I will hold to the principles received by me when I was sane, and not mad—as I am now. Laws and principles are not for the times when there is no temptation: they are for such moments as this, when body and soul rise in mutiny against their rigour; stringent are they; inviolate they shall be. If at my individual convenience I might break them, what would be their worth? They have a worth—so I have always believed; and if I cannot believe it now, it is because I am insane—quite insane: with my veins running fire, and my heart beating faster than I can count its throbs. Preconceived opinions, foregone determinations, are all I have at this hour to stand by: there I plant my foot.(Several of the more recent dramatizations of C B's masterwork have left me disgusted, Jane is seen to reject her married lover out of pride rather than a determination not to do evil, not to, quaint word, sin. Perhaps their creators simply do not believe in sin.)

Mustangs Secure Double-Bye to Semifinals at Honda Center on Friday, March 9
Big West Conference Tournament Bracket (PDF)
HONOLULU — Finishing 11-5 in Big West play, the Cal Poly women's basketball team earned the No. 2 seed to the upcoming conference tournament by defeating Hawai'i 67-61 in the Stan Sheriff Center on Saturday night.
By clinching one of the top two seeds thanks to the regular-season finale win, the Mustangs secured a double-bye into the Big West Tournament semifinals at 2:30 p.m. Friday, March 9 at the Honda Center in Anaheim.
The first round (featuring seeds 5-8) and quarterfinals (adding the No. 3 and 4 seeds) will be held Tuesday and Wednesday at Cal State Fullerton's Titan Gym. UC Davis (24-5, 14-2), which earned the other double-bye to the semis, will face the lowest seed (at 12 noon Friday) to emerge from the first two days, while the Mustangs will draw the highest-remaining seed from the initial two rounds.
Earlier in the evening Saturday, UC Irvine closed its regular season winning 78-58 at Fullerton to move into a tie for second place.
Cal Poly (17-11) used a fast start in O'ahu to nullify any tiebreaker scenarios (as the Mustangs and third-seeded Anteaters split during the year), jumping out to a 19-3 lead with 3:47 remaining in the opening quarter.
Mustang senior guard Dynn Leaupepe went 6-for-7 as the Mustangs established the 16-point lead early on, including making both of her 3-point tries, en route to 16 points in only 6:13.
Hawai'i (12-17, 5-11), which came into the game 9-6 at home on the year, began to close the gap approaching the end of the first, however, ending the period down 21-8.
A 10-0 UH run narrowed the deficit to 23-18 with 6:02 to play until the break, before the Rainbow Wahine tied it 27-27 on a 3 from Julissa Tago at the 3:33 mark. The teams traded four more points apiece at the end of the half, heading to intermission deadlocked at 31-all.
The game stayed close, as the initial 2:38 of the third quarter featured four ties. The Mustangs moved in front by a six-point margin with 1:35 to go in the period, taking a 49-43 lead on a free throw by junior point guard Dye Stahley.
The Wahine, however, used a Tago buzzer-beater to end the third trailing just 50-47. UH cut it to one 34 seconds into the fourth quarter, but Cal Poly senior Emily Anderson answered with a 3 to push the Mustang lead back to 53-49 on the next possession.
Anderson again came up big with 5:25 to play, converting a layup-plus-the-foul and then sinking the free throw for a 58-52 lead. The Wahine continued to threaten, pulling within four points over the ensuing minute-and-a-half, but Leaupepe hit a jumper with 3:27 left to extend the lead to 62-56.
A 3 by Tia Kanoa with 18 seconds remaining brought Hawai'i within 64-61, but Leaupepe sank back-to-back free throws after being fouled on the inbound. Coming out of a timeout, UH missed two looks at 3-pointers, the latter of which was rebounded by Stahley with just nine seconds to play (before she added a free throw for the final score).

Great course with a good balance of code and the rewards to be had from understanding how the code works - proved to be an excellent introduction to Astronomy and confidence builder in Python.

Such a wonderful course. It had a very good mix of astronomy and computer science. The programming activities were especially good and the lectures were very informative. I highly recommend.

A very interesting course, even though I am not an astronomer. Plenty of examples on the use of Python for data handling, ML classification of astronomical objects (sklearn), plus a neat section on RDMS usage (postgresql + python). Many thanks to all at astro-sydney for their help and Coursera.

This course was absolutely fascinating, thank you so much! I especially enjoyed the discussions about actually thinking through the data instead of just jumping in with whatever tool or algorithm you normally use, loved the short astronomical overview pieces and their quizzes, and the bonus material - interviews of people working in the "real world" out there - was great.

First, I enjoyed the course, thank you. I am a computer scientist by profession, and came here to learn how astronomers perceive data analysis software in their pursuit. This course not only introduced me to how software is used for data analysis in astronomy, but also gave me insights on challenges the community is (or could potentially be) facing. Course is well-paced on theoretical and programming fronts, along with necessary hand-holding whenever required. Hoping to see an advanced version of this course. Thank you again.

It's been an amazing and educative journey. Besides sharping my Python skills, the Astropy and Numpy library are really a wealth of knowledge that is worth using. Machine learning was new for me, specifically decision trees. I got some knowledge 20 years ago about neural networks and fussy logic, but his was something new. All in all, the instructors and assisting staff showed their expertise both in the programming part as well as in the astronomical domain. Really a recommended course for those who love both domains!

Dr Tara Murphy is exceptionally good at extracting and compressing essential informations and transporting it to the audience. A very well structured course with phantastically produced short movies about basic astronomy topics on an introductory level (great fun to watch this powerthirstesque kind of galactic round-house kick) Reveals some very important fundamentals you should know about scientific computing, introduces you to some of the really hot public scientific libraries, and, eventually, adds some GROK platform learning experience which is unparalleled. There's only one downer (two if you add Dr Simon Murphy's noctilucent shirt in his first lecture): it only scratches a few microns of that nasty double-headed science dragon. Don't expect to to be able to solve problems on the scale of the real world, er... universe with the obtained knowledge. Nevertheless, great job Data-driven Astronomy team!

Three Methods for Working with Chaos. Shantideva Meditation. Green Tara Tara is known as the "Mother of all Buddhas" for she represents the wisdom of reality from which all enlightened beings are born.
Tara is considered the female manifestation of the Buddha's omniscient mind, and the color green is associated with the air element. Hence, Green Tara is especially swift in granting wishes and helping practitioners achieve temporal and ultimate happiness. Limitless Tara, Beyond the Green: Buddha, Bodhisattva, Savior, Mother of all the Buddhas, Hindu Maa Tara, Goddess of Many Colors, Consort of Buddhas, Wisdom Mother, Action Hero... - Buddha Weekly: Buddhist Practices, Mindfulness, Meditation. Most Buddhists know Tara—simultaneously, a friend, savior, caring Bodhisattva and enlightened being.
Hindus consider Her one of the Mahavidyas, or Great Wisdom Goddesses—a role she carries on in Buddhism. To advanced practitioners, she is equally the great Wisdom Mother Prajnaparamita. Yet, at the same time, without contradiction, Tara is the intimate and treasured friend. The Vastness of Tara: Beyond Definition, Friend to Everyone. Benefits of Green Tara Practice.

Green Tara mantra. Oṃ Tāre Tuttāre Ture Svāhā / Om Tare Tuttare Ture Svaha Tara, whose name means "star" or "she who ferries across," is a Bodhisattva of compassion who manifests in female form.
In Tibetan, Tara is known as "Dölma" (Sgrol-ma), or "She Who Saves." In particular she represents compassion in action, since she's in the process of stepping from her lotus throne in order to help sentient beings. 百物語怪談会 Hyakumonogatari Kaidankai. Sourced and translated from Kaii Yokai Densho Database, Japanese Wikipedia, Yokai Jiten, Nihon Kokugo Dai-ten, and Other Sources If a tree falls in the forest, and someone hears it, is that the plaintive cry of a kodama?
Because that is what ancient, tree-worshipping Japanese people thought. The Japanese have always known that some trees were special. For whatever reason—maybe because of an interestingly shaped trunk, or a sequence of knots resembling a human face, or just a certain sense of awe—some trees were identified as being the abodes of spirits.
Depending on where you lived, these spirits went by many names. Kodama (spirit) - Wikipedia. Bob Thurman. In this podcast Professor Thurman discusses how to use the practice for the post-election result.

The Beginner's Guide to Letting Go and Becoming Enlightened Through Non-Attachment - Buddhaimonia - Attachments and Liberation. Buddhism is a teaching of liberation, aimed at freeing people from the inevitable sufferings of life.
To this end, early Buddhist teachings focused on the impermanence of all things. The Buddha realized that nothing in this world stays the same; everything is in a constant state of change. Pleasurable conditions, favorable circumstances, our relationships with those we hold dear, our health and well-being—any sense of comfort and security we derive from these things is continually threatened by life's flux and uncertainty, and ultimately by death, the most profound change of all.

Sadhana & Prayers. Share this article A Short Daily Sadhana Eight Verses of Training The Mind Offering The Mandala Other Preliminary Prayers. Witches' Sabbath - Wikipedia. The Witches' Sabbath or Sabbat is a meeting of those who practice witchcraft and other rites. European records indicate cases of persons being accused or tried for taking part in Sabbat gatherings, from the Middle Ages to the 17th century or later. Distinguishable features that are typically contained within a Witches' Sabbat are assembly by foot, beast, or flight, a banquet, dancing and cavorting, and sexual intercourse.[1][2] Etymology[edit] The English word "sabbat" is of obscure etymology and late diffusion, and local variations of the name given to witches' gatherings were frequent.[3] "Sabbat" came indirectly from Hebrew שַׁבָּת (Shabbath, "day of rest"). In modern Judaism, Shabbat is the rest day celebrated from Friday evening to Saturday nightfall; in modern Christianity, Sabbath refers to Sunday, or to a time period similar to Sabbath in the seventh-day church minority.

text: Gay Alliance of the Genesee Valley Connections: Discussing historic LGBTQ landmarks in Rochester By Evan Dawson & Megan Mack • Jul 20, 2018 Listen Listening... / 51:43 Discussing historic LGBTQ landmarks in Rochester We're joined by members of the Landmark Society and the Out Alliance to talk about historic places in our community that have played a pivotal role in the LGBTQ movement. Those organizations are leading a new walking tour that is part of the Landmark Society's LGBTQ Landmark Initiative. We discuss the initiative and Rochester's contributions to the LGBTQ movement. In studio: Larry Francer, associate director of preservation for the Landmark Society of Western NY Wayne Goodman, executive director of the Landmark Society of Western NY Carol Ebersole-Weiss, member of the national board of governors for the Human Rights Campaign, and western new coordinator of the Human Rights Campaign of Greater New York Evelyn Bailey, historian for the Out Alliance Connections: Why Kevin Spacey's announcement furthers dangerous stereotypes By Evan Dawson & Megan Mack • Nov 6, 2017 Listen Listening... / 49:47 Why Kevin Spacey's announcement furthers dangerous stereotypes Members of the LGBTQ community are blasting actor Kevin Spacey, saying he conflated homosexuality with pedophilia. Late last month, actor Anthony Rapp told BuzzFeed that Spacey made a sexual advance toward him in 1986, when Rapp was 14. In a statement on Twitter, Spacey said he does not remember the encounter, but apologized and said his actions were caused by "deeply inappropriate drunken behavior." In that same statement, Spacey then said he now chooses to live as a gay man. The timing of Spacey's announcement has fueled backlash: critics say it was a calculated PR move to distract from the alleged sexual misconduct, and it furthers the stigma that links homosexuality and child molestation – which is not backed by research. We talk about the impact of Spacey's statement. Our guests: Rowan Collins, education coordinator for the LGBTQ Academy at the Out Alliance Kevin Coffey, assistant professor of social work in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Rochester Medical Center Michael Lecker, director of LGBTQ health and inclusiveness at Trillium Health Connections: How Title VII issues impact the LGBTQ community By Evan Dawson & Megan Mack • Oct 11, 2017 Listen Listening... / 50:56 How Title VII issues impact the LGBTQ community The Trump administration has argued that laws covering bias at work do not include or cover LGBTQ issues. This is, to say the least, perceived as a significant threat in the LGBTQ community. We focus on what the law does and does not do, and we talk about LGBTQ history in Rochester. Guests: Rowan Collins, educator with the Out Alliance Bob Crystal, founder of the Gay Alliance of the Genesee Valley, now known as the Out Alliance Matt Haag, member of Rochester City Council Connections: The legacy of Will & Grace and how LGBTQ characters are portrayed on TV By Megan Mack • Sep 27, 2017 Listen Listening... / 50:56 The legacy of Will & Grace and how LGBTQ characters are portrayed on TV The sitcom Will and Grace is making its return to the airwaves on Thursday, after finishing an eight year run in 2006. Former Vice President Joe Biden credited the show with educating Americans about LGBTQ issues. We discuss the evolution of gay characters on screen, and whether the show deserves its reputation. In studio: Scott Fearing, executive director of the Gay Alliance of the Genesee Valley Kate Sweeney, co-organizer of Ambush Rochester Juan Vazquez, digital engagement facilitator for WXXI News Connections: Current state of the LGBTQ movement and how to build more inclusive communities By Megan Mack • Jun 22, 2017 Listen Listening... / 49:33 Current state of the LGBTQ movement and how to build more inclusive communities June is Pride month, and celebrations, marches, and solidarity events are being held in cities across the country. Some of these events have been interrupted by protests from members of the LGBTQ community who feel the movement marginalizes minorities. A group called No Justice No Pride staged a protest at the recent Capital Pride Parade in Washington, D.C. Members issued a list of demands, which included adding more transgender women of color and indigenous people to leadership positions, more stringent vetting of the parade's corporate sponsors, and preventing uniformed police officers from participating in the parade. The concerns reflect the broader issues on which Black Pride groups throughout the U.S. are focused. Our guests discuss the state of the current Pride movement at the local level, intersectionality, and how communities can work to be more inclusive. In studio: Scott Fearing, executive director of the Gay Alliance of the Genesee Valley Ed Brockenbrough, associate professor at the Warner School of Education at the University of Rochester, and former board president of the MOCHA Center Jahnell Butler, community health specialist at the MOCHA Center Adrian Elim, head chair of Rochester Black Pride Tonya Noel, member of the Flower City Noire Collective Connections: LGBTQ community showing solidarity By Evan Dawson • Mar 2, 2017 Listen Listening... / 50:05 LGBTQ community showing solidarity When the alt-pop band MUNA was writing their new song, "I Know a Place," the Orlando night club massacre rocked the country. That event gives the song a new urgency, and Time Magazine has referred to it as a kind of LGBTQ anthem. This is a tenuous moment for the LGBTQ community. A report links the declining suicide rate with the passage of marriage equality, but the community is already reeling with the Trump administration's transgender order for schools, and concerned about other possible changes. A local grand jury will decide if an assault on a straight ally is a hate crime*, which has sparked discussion over what hate crimes are, and are not. Our guests cover a wide range: Scott Fearing, executive director of the Gay Alliance of the Genesee Valley Jim Eskildsen, straight ally who was a victim of an assault Paul Kingsley, straight ally who was a victim of an assault Rob Strauss, artistic director of the Rochester Gay Men's Chorus Katie Gavin, lead singer of MUNA *Correction: Guests on this program indicated that the Victor assault case would not be classified as a hate crime. WXXI News spoke with an Ontario County assistant district attorney who said that while a grand jury has met about the case, no information has been released publicly, and there will be no word on an indictment until next week. Please visit wxxinews.org for more information as it becomes available. Connections: Supreme Court Takes On Case Regarding Bathroom Rules For Transgender Students By Evan Dawson • Nov 3, 2016 Listen Listening... / 50:26 The Supreme Court takes on a case regarding bathroom rules for transgender students The Supreme Court decided late last week that it will take on a case regarding the right of transgender students in public schools to use bathrooms that align with their gender identity. The case involves 17-year-old Gavin Grimm of Gloucester, Virginia, who was born female but identifies as male. Grimm came out as transgender as a freshman and sued the school board, saying its policy requiring students use bathrooms corresponding with their biological sex violates his civil rights and is sex discrimination. We talk about how this case could have a major impact on transgender rights in America. Our guests: Milo Primeaux, Esq., LGBT rights attorney, Empire Justice Center Rowan Collins, education coordinator for the LGBTQ Academy at the Gay Alliance of the Genesee Valley S. Brae Adams, pastor at Open Arms Metropolitan Community Church, and mother of a transgender teen Connections: The Challenges Of Coming Out Of The Closet By Evan Dawson • Oct 31, 2016 Listen Listening... / 50:18 The challenges of coming out of the closet Despite recent progress, it's still very challenging for some gay Americans to come out of the closet. That's particularly true for African Americans of faith. We sit down with Pastor Malik McFarley-Sample, who came out recently. He's finding his place in the local faith community, but he admits that Rochester's black churches have a lot of work to do on LGBTQ issues. Our guests: Pastor Malik McFarley-Sample Scott Fearing, executive director of the Gay Alliance of the Genesee Valley Connections: The Impact Of North Carolina's New "Bathroom Law" By Evan Dawson • Apr 18, 2016 Listen Listening... / 50:54 The impact of North Carolina's new "bathroom law" We examine the impact of North Carolina's new law that prohibits people from using public bathrooms that do not match the designated sex on their birth certificates, and that forbids local governments from creating their own anti-discrimination ordinances. What does this mean for the discussion about equality, particularly as it relates to the transgender community? How likely is it that other states will pass similar legislation? We also sit down with Nathan Manske, the founder of I'm From Driftwood. It's a project that "aims to help LGBTQ people learn more about their community and straight people learn more about their neighbors." Manske is in Rochester for several events, including a public presentation at the Gay Alliance's Resource Center. Our guests: Nathan Manske, I'm From Driftwood Scott Fearing, executive director of the Gay Alliance of the Genesee Valley

I Am You From The Future! No Time To Explain [Indie Game / Video Included]
Indie games are usually cool, and no-one can deny this. We've all spent hours and hours on games which were built on low a low budget, simply because they are fun. There's no real complexity just pure enjoyment. And what stops this from being just that?
Well, nothing really.

Tiny Build Games, an indie dev-house, has created something called No Time To Explain. Unfortunately, we don't actually have time to explain.
We do however have time to say that it's going to be built for PC and Mac, where Xbox Live Arcade and the PlayStation Network might be available afterward — if the game makes enough money. Hell, there's even a chance that Linux could benefit from this as well.

Has solar energy already reached cost parity with fossil fuels?
energy has enormous potential, and only a tiny fraction of totally available
amount of solar energy would be enough to satisfy energy needs of entire world.
The potential alone is however not enough for solar to rule the world, and
prior to becoming dominant source of energy solar will have to achieve
cost-parity with fossil fuels.
You don't have to be genius to realize that solar energy industry needs to develop cheap and efficient solar cells in order to dominate global energy market. New-generation solar cells include many different concepts and designs such as growing photovoltaic crystals, using carbon nanotubes, applying special coatings, and some scientific studies have looked very promising in taking us one step closer to the discovery of cheap and highly efficient solar cells.
In 2011, there was one very interesting study by the researchers from Michigan Technological University and Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario. The researchers that were involved in this study claim that solar energy is already very close to achieving cost-parity with fossil fuels. They have concluded that on global level solar energy has costs under $1 per watt for solar panels purchased in bulk and that in some parts of the world solar energy is already economically more viable option than staying with fossil fuels.
The first thing that researchers made in this study was an exhaustive review of the previous studies connected with costs of solar power technologies. By reviewing these studies they discovered that factors such as costs to install and maintain the solar system, finance charges, longevity, and total electricity generation weren't accurate and that many of these studies did not include economic impact of solar energy benefits such in form of reduced pollution and greenhouse gas emission levels.
It's also true that in the last three years there was a huge decline in solar panel prices, between 50-70%. Solar energy industry is also one of the fastest growing industries in the world.
However, the dominant opinion is that solar energy sector still needs to significantly improve its cost-competitiveness because it is still not able to survive without the incentives.
The things are obviously moving in the right direction, and solar energy could soon become a major player in global energy market.
The real clean energy revolution will start once solar cells will become able to extract much more energy from the Sun that they can today. From the current perspective, it's difficult to predict when exactly can we expect this breakthrough in solar power technologies, and whether by then it will be too late for solar power to halt climate change impact or not.
Science has demanding task in finding the cost-effective technologies to convert much of the Sun's energy into electricity. With so many ongoing researches focused in this direction solar energy will hopefully soon discover its holy grail in form of cheap and highly efficient solar panels.

Sophomore Faith Jung and junior Cece Cruz were next for the Foresters in 25th place with matching scores of 179. Cruz was better in round one with an 86 and Jung had an 87 in round two. Each players birdied the 431-yard, par-5 11th hole during her lower round.

Life is complicated, and so are we: each one of us is complex in an individual way that makes us unique and different from each other. We will all be faced with a multitude of highs and lows as we venture through life, but no matter what your personal walk with emotional health looks like, we all can stand to be reminded that maintaining a healthy body and outlook on life starts from within.
RELATED ARTICLE: 11 Healthy Habits That Make You Emotionally Stronger
So, as we embark through this new year, it's important to remember that focusing on emotional health is equally as important as setting goals that involve the outer life of physical health, finances and career. This roundup of articles and videos is sure to inspire a healthy mind and happy heart.
1. Here's Why Therapy Isn't a Dirty Word

As a society, we celebrate the treatment of physical illness, but shame the treatment of mental and emotional illness. This stigma needs to get the boot and here's why.
2. Stop Nursing and Rehearsing the Negative—Jumpstart Your Joy!
As much as we wish we could promise you life-long, uninterrupted happiness, we can't. Seasons of sadness are inevitable. But it doesn't have to end there. Joy can be found even in times of depression; don't lose hope. In this video, we get to hear from Michelle McKinney Hammond, who shares with us how we can jumpstart the process of finding that joy.

At every age, there are reasons we may not be totally satisfied with our bodies. But, living in a constant state of self-hatred is neither healthy nor does it encourage self-improvement. So, here's why you shouldn't wait a year from now, let alone one second, to acknowledge the immense beauty that you already possess and radiate.

"I realized that I was not okay." Following the devastating loss of his father, Judah Smith struggled to heal.

This weeks wild winter weather in Columbus Ohio was weird but we certainly were not alone…
Why did we get freezing rain when we were in the 20s? I saw the answer on COSI's Facebook Page:
"The reason is the air temperature was warmer than the ground – the rain starts as a liquid (due to warmer air where the rain originated) and then when it hits something cold (like pavement, metal, etc.) it becomes frozen, because the object it is hitting has a temperature that is below freezing. Whereas sleet is liquid that freezes on the way down (air temp is at or around freezing) and snow was never a liquid, but rather a vapor that turned to a solid."
That winter weather primer is a quote from Steve Whitt of COSI. The COSI Page on Facebook described Whitt as "one of COSI's lead educators"
Dear Weather Diary,
Back from the future? If you are reading this in March, April, May 2011 or beyond… Tuesday, February 1, 2011 we had an ice storm in Central Ohio as much of the US was hit by a huge winter storm. Wednesday February 2, 2011 (Groundhogs Day) it turned into snow.
Spring is on it's way according to Buckeye Chuck, Ohio's official weather rodent. Listening to the TV and radio news though it sounds like we have a few more winter storms before the crocuses bloom and the robins come back…
