The purpose of life is the expansion of happiness. Happiness is the goal of every other goal. Most people are under the impression that happiness comes from becoming successful, accumulating wealth, being healthy, and living a good relationship. There is certainly enormous social pressure to believe that these accomplishments are the same as achieving happiness. However, according to Eastern teachings this is a mistake. Success, wealth and good relationships are by-products of happiness, not the cause.
When you're happy, you're more likely to make choices that lead to all these things. The reverse isn't true. Unhappy people are not successful, and no amount of money and achievements will change the equation.
Eastern wisdom traditions point out that life inevitably contains suffering, which comes in many forms, including accidents, misfortune, ageing, illness and death. This implies that the pessimists are right when they claim that lasting happiness is an illusion. Human beings in particular suffer as the result of memory and imagination. We carry inside us the wounds of the past and imagine that the future will bring more pain. Other creatures are not burdened by worry over age and death.
Animals do have a memory. If you kick a dog, it will remember the experience and may snarl at you if it encounters you ten years later. But unlike a human being, a kicked dog won't plan for ten years how to get even. Our capacity to suffer makes us seek a way out. Therefore, for millions of people, today is planned around escaping yesterday's pains and avoiding pain tomorrow.
Instead of trying to escape suffering, Eastern wisdom traditions set about diagnosing suffering the way a physician diagnose disease. Five main causes were linked to unhappiness:
1. Not knowing your true identity
2. Clinging to the idea of permanence in a world that is inherently impermanent
3. Fear of change
4. Identifying with the socially induced hallucination called Ego
5. Fear of death
Fortunately, it isn't necessary to wrestle with all five causes of suffering. They are all contained in the first: Ignorance of your true identity. Once you experience who you really are, all suffering will come to an end.
Keys to unfold happiness:
1. Be aware of your body
"There is but one temple in the universe...and that is the human body'"- Thomas Carlyle
The first and most reliable guide to happiness is your body. When you're deciding whether or not to act, ask your body, "How do you feel about this?". If your body sends back a signal of physical or emotional distress, reconsider the action.
Every experience has a physical component. If you're hungry, the mind and stomach are hungry together. If you have an amazing experience, your heart and liver cells share in it. You cannot have a single thought, sensation, or feeling without your body responding.
How to activate this key:
Before you act on any emotion, consult your heart. Your heart is a reliable guide when you put your trust in it. It helps you experience empathy, compassion, and love. The heart is the seat of emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence allows you to get in touch with your deepest self and nurtures all relationships by reminding you to see yourself in the other.
Lightness of being in my body should be your indicator of happiness. If you feel heavy or dull in your body, you need to pay a special attention. The best way to replenish it is to give it what it needs the most, whether it's sleep, rest, nourishment or exercise.
2. Find true self - esteem
"Do not wish to be anything but what you are, and try to be that perfectly" - St. Francis de Sales
True self-esteem is not the same thing as improving your self-image. Self image results from what other people think of you. The true self lies beyond images. It can be found at a level of existence that is independent of the good and bad opinion of others. It is fearless. When you shift your identity from your self-image to your true self, you will find happiness that no one can take away from you.
How to activate this key:
You need to observe yourself in difficult situations without judgement. Simply witness yourself until you no longer feel pressured and distressed. This is usually felt in the chest, heart, stomach, solar plexus, shoulder and neck. Whenever your ego is trying to dominate a situation, you will feel a discomfort in one of these places. At such moment, it is enough to be aware that your ego is responsible for this sensation. By doing so you can separate from a false sense of self.
3. Give up being right"If you never assume importance, you never lose it" - Tao Te Ching
"He who accepts Nature's flow is all cherishing" - Tao Te Ching
Most people are trapped trying to impose their viewpoint on the world. They carry beliefs about what's right and wrong, and they hold on to these beliefs obsessively. "I am right" brings comfort, but not happiness. No one has ever been made happy by proving they are right. The only result is conflict and confrontation, because the need to be right makes someone else wrong.
To give up the need to be right doesn't mean that you don't have a point of view. But you can give up the need to defend your point of view. In a state of defenselessness, we find invincibility, because there is no longer anything to attack.
How to activate this key:
You need to catch yourself wanting to be right. When this happens, you just observe the impulse and let it go. You need to refrain from qualifying things as right and wrong, good and bad. You'll find freedom in a wider perspective. Happiness lies in the calm stillness which is beyond all labels. When you see yourself as a victim, remember you're the sole creator of the circumstances you see.
4. Focus on the present
"There will never be any more perfection than there is now." - From "Song of myself", Walt Whitman
We all have heard that we should live in the present and not in the past or the future.
In order to transcend your situation, you must cultivate a new style of awareness, where you have your attention on what is, and you see the fullness of every moment. Most people are not actually focusing on what is. They overshadow every experience with analising and evaluating what could be or what was. The past and future dominate their attention - they practically sleepwalk through their lives..
How do we cultivate this new form of attention? Primarily through mindfulness or "paying attention". Many people have never experienced their minds at rest.
"But that's what my mind is for. That's who I am" most people would say. No, you do not exist to support the activity of the mind. The mind exists to support your being.
How to activate this key:
You embrace what is, and not impose upon it what was or what could be. That brings you to the present moment. It sheds worry and anxiety.
You catch yourself whenever you're distracted. You're not the restless activity of the mind. You're not the story your mind is telling you. You are not your memories or freams of the future.. As soon you stop being distracted you are being mindful.

The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) provides support for youth with barriers to employment. An eligible student is age 14 through 21 from a low income family with needs support in one or more of the following categories:
Each student is enrolled for year-round support in the work experience component.
The New Mexico Workforce Connection Center (NMWCC) provides job placement and training to individuals, including all youth, in Union, Harding, Quay, Guadalupe, Curry, Roosevelt, DeBaca, Chaves, Eddy, Lea, Otero, and Lincoln Counties. The NMWCC provides access to the services of many agencies and programs in the same facility through interagency cooperation, communication, coordination, and support. One-Stop Centers are required under WIOA to coordinate youth activities, link youth to job markets and employers, and to provide information and service access to eligible youth.
Traditionally, this program has served about 40-50 students during the school year in the Eastern Workforce Area through employment skill training. The program provides a limited number of students, ages 16 through 21, with valuable work experience during their high school years so they are prepared to enter the workforce upon graduation from school. Strong linkages are made with local employers, the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation, the New Mexico Department of Workforce Solutions, and local post secondary educational institutions.
The program assists qualified young people entering an occupation to learn employment skills. The program is designed for youth between the ages of 18 and 22 who have exited public schools without a diploma or have graduated with a diploma or GED and are having difficulty obtaining employment. Such students must have basic skill deficiencies and be underemployed or unemployed. Participants may work in a chosen career field after intake and assessment in the program. Local employers provide a combination of hands-on experience and classroom training. The program may also provide funding for formal classroom training, special tools, clothing, or equipment.

Bill has been licensed to sell real estate since 1993. For the last 14 years he has had the pleasure of representing home buyers and sellers in the Denver metro area. Prior to that, he worked in the commercial real estate field representing retailers and developers in the purchase and lease of property throughout Colorado.
I worked with Bill during the purchase of our first house,, and am now in process with him for our second. He's very knowledgeable about the local market,, and gives me a lot of good insights about what to look for and what to consider. I can really tell he has our best interest in mind in helping us find the right place and the best deal.
– Mike D.
I worked with Bill when I was selling my house & I appreciated his professionalism,, as well as,, his encouragement during an extremely difficult time in the real estate market. He was able to sell my home in record time!
– Anita S.
I've thanked Bill several times for finding me a great home,, in the perfect location,, that fit my lifestyle. It only took two years but he continued to provide expert advice and guidance. I was more tired of looking than Bill was but he maintained his integrity and continued to advise me so that I did not just settle on a home I wouldn't be happy with. I appreciated that he put himself in my shoes and my life to find the right property. I'd recommend him to anyone,, especially if you are selective.
– Craig L.
I worked with Bill Turner as a first time homebuyer about five years ago. Bill is a true professional. He's patient,, knowledgeable,, personable and a good negotiator. I would not hesitate to recommend him to any of my friends or family. Thanks Bill.
– Adolphus A.
Bill Turner remained professional and upbeat throughout the process. Even though I was somewhat vague on what I wanted,, we saw many different types of properties until I eventually settled on my current condominium. When it comes time to sell my unit and upgrade to a larger independent house,, I hope I can again work with Bill.
– David W.
Bill Turner will be my realtor for life. He's not only someone I will do business with again,, but someone that I recommend on a regular basis for my close friends,, family and colleagues.

ktools: Cross-platform modding tools for Don't Starve
By simplexIMPORTANT: Starting with version 4.3.0, the Windows binary release requires Microsoft's Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable Package (previously, the 2010 one was required). See the bottom of this description for more information.
ktools is a set of cross-platform (Linux, Mac and Windows) modding tools for Don't Starve. It consists of the following command-line tools:
ktech: a bidirectional converter between TEX texture and PNG; krane: a anim.bin/build.bin decompiler, whose output is a Spriter project. More detailed information about these tools may be found in the README, in the project's GitHub repository.
ktools primary release format is as source code, compilable under every platform using CMake, as per the instructions in the README. A Windows binary release is also included (the ZIP ending with "-win32").
When compiling from source, if libzip is found then the ktools are compiled with zip support, so that zip archives may be given as input in the same way directories may. The binary Windows release does not have zip support.
If you have issues running the Windows binary release, make sure you have Microsoft's Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable Package (the 32 bit version, that is, download the file called vcredist_x86.exe). It's very likely already installed, but in case of any errors first make sure that is in fact the case.

Texture and Atlas Packer
By KzisorThis program can be used to create a single texture and atlas file from multiple images.
VirusTotal: Here
Unpack Function:
The unpack function allows the end user to break down Texture (.tex) files into their base image into a Portable Network Graphics (.png) file.
When adding files instead of adding Image Files, select 'Texture Files' from the drop down. Add the Texture (.tex) files you wish to unpack and click the Unpack button. If you press the Unpack button and no Texture (.tex) files are in the list, it will skip operations. If a Texture (.tex) file is in the list and you press the Pack button, the pack function will skip the Texture (.tex) file.
This required .NET Frameworks 4.6 in order to run it correctly. Please download it from the Microsoft Website if you're not running Windows 10.

KTEX+XML Decompiler
By ElectroelySimple Java application that allows its user to split the contents of Klei's TEX files using their respective XML atlases. In other words...
Using it is simple:
- The first text field is for the XML file. It usually has the same name as the TEX file and is found in the same folder.
- The second text field is for the PNG file. The tool will accept TEX files if it is put in the same folder as simplex's ktools.
- The third field is for the output folder. All images contained in the PNG/TEX will be put there when they're extracted.
As I've previously mentioned, this tool does NOT convert TEX files to PNG. It will make ktech from ktools do so if they are in the same folder. The second field's label will change from to if ktech.exe is detected.

Sample Character
Use this as a starting place for your own characters! Contains template artwork for character animations, saveslot portraits, and more! Note: This will require TEX tools in order to create .tex files from the provided .png images.
Also note that the template for the bigportrait is in it's own zip file for download size reasons, but both samplecharacter.zip and samplecharacter_bigportrait.zip together make the Sample Character mod and templates.

This tool comes with a big Buyer Beware! This is a development tool and not end user friendly. As you've discovered there is virtually no error checking because we use it in a very narrow set of circumstances and those are well debugged.
Also please note the game engine only supports ARGB/DXT1/3/5.
Hey all,

Custom Tile Adder
By ksaabThis mod can be used as a template for custom ground tiles for Don't Starve Together. I use it in the Green World. The main logic implemented in two files:
tileadder.lua — provides two functions: AddTiles() and AddMinimap(); tiledescription.lua — contains parameteres for new tiles. Function AddTiles() should be called from the modworldgen.lua, function AddMinimap() should be called from the the modmain.lua. Ground ID is not required, the tile adder calculates it automatically; this provides high compability with any other custom tile mods. Turf prefab is also generated by the tile adder, but you need to set build/icon/anim/any other prefab data with AddPrefabPostInit() function in the modmain file.
Five steps to add new tile:
Pick the name for you tile; Place ground texture (resolution 512x512, name «noise_yourtilename») and minimap texture (resolution 256x256, name «mini_noise_yourtilename») in the «images/textures» folder; Add string «yourtilename = { }» to the tiledescription.lua file; Add AddPrefabPostInit() function to set inventory images for your tile; Test it! More information you can find in the tiledescription.lua file. As an example, two custom ground tiles (Jungle and Tech) are added.

Don't Starve Lunar Calendar In Javascript
By darkestaxeSave this html file to your desktop and open it in a browser. It will automatically generate a calendar of Don't Starves moon cycles going out to day 200. Input whatever day you want moon cycles calculated out to.
I don't actually care if you put the file on your desktop or not, just put it somewhere that you can find it and open it.
Pigs will turn into werepigs on a full moon. Werepigs are very bad piggies and will likely attack you and kill you for no reason. This is also when woody becomes the doom incarnate of all vegetation.
The latest day I tested successfully was day 50,000. It was a very long calendar and the scroll-bar thingy was very small. If you intend to not starve for longer then 50k days then you may need a longer calender.
Internet Explorer may block content from the lunar calendar. It's blocking Javascript which is the programming language used to generate the calendar. I promise it won't hack your computer and install pop-up advertisements for "Over 100 horney chicks in your area can't wait to chat with you right now!"
This script won't hack anything at all actually. It's not a hack, it just makes a calendar. Just go ahead and hit "run script" or open it in Firefox instead.
While transformed into a werebeaver, you should refrain from eating the berry bushes you planted earlier that day. Bad Werebeaver! bad. bad. bad. You go back to the firepit and starve back into Woody right now!
Leave comments if there's some functionality you would like added to this calendar. Making it was kinda fun.

crits Critcode
By IronHunterThis code is designed for Don't Starve Together to allow for critical hits and items with critical hit properties.
By design this allows all mobs the potential to be able to crit if they have crit chance greater than 0
Using inst.components.combat:SetCrit(critchance, critdmg, critfn) we can define a basic crit settings for a mob.
Currently equipment have crit variables as inst.variables rather than component ones.
Some fun examples if you have a hat that has crit chance, we can give it to a pigman and he'll be able to crit.
Currently tested on a caves enabled server and works as advertised.
Suggestions and bugs found for improvements welcome.

Character custom voice tutorial and custom item sounds
By K1NGT1GER609Note: this file will not run as a independent mod, its more of a toolbox if anything. Also its recommended to have some modding experience as the tutorial isn't beginner friendly.
This file is a tool box and template for making custom character voices and other item sounds as well. It contains a few common armor, structure, and weapon sounds that the base game uses, along with notes about them that may prove useful. The code is preset to follow the lua files stored inside so its less of a hassle trying to start from scratch. Last this file is subject to updates to keep up with don't starve together adding more types of voices like emotes, pose, and ghost voice.

Save Primates in Rain Forests
Posted by Frogsworld in Orangutan, Rain Forest on 22. May, 2009 | No Comments
Borneo Lowland Rain Forests are the richest rain forests in the world and rival the diversity of New Guinea and the Amazon. These forests are home to the world's endangered orangutan.
Unfortunately, these forests have been rapidly converted to oil palm plantations or commercially logged at unprecedented rates over the past ten years. In 1997-1998 fires intentionally set to clear the forest for commercial agriculture such as oil palm ravaged Kalimantan. If the current trend of habitat destruction continues, there will be no remaining lowland forests in Borneo an Eco disaster for all forest insects, amphipians, and animals.
Borneo's lowland forests are home to the globally recognized primate orangutan. The prehistoric race of orangutan distribution reached mainland Asia through Indochina and Thailand to southeastern China. Today the orangutan is limited to northern Sumatra and Borneo . Unlike other apes, orangutans are solitary and arboreal. They feed primarily on fruit but also feed on leaves, flowers, insects, and, during times of food stress, specifically bark . The orangutans move throughout the forest, following the fruiting of numerous trees. They have the ability to catalog the location and degree of a fruit's ripeness for a large number of trees and species .
The orangutan is not the only primate in Borneo's lowland forests. They are home to thirteen primate species: three apes (the orangutan and two gibbon species), five langurs, two macaques, the tarsier (Tarsius bancanus), the slow loris (Nycticebus coucang), and the endangered proboscis monkey (Nasalis larvatus). Most of these species have overlapping ranges, but they vary with respect to dietary content and foraging strategy .
Angels and Frogs
Posted by Frogsworld in Myreas Photo Gallery, Rainforest on 16. May, 2009 | No Comments
Angels live in the Rain Forest too, on this great Tepui as these table top flat mountains are called an unique world of amphibians and frogs are known only to exist there.
Angel Falls (indigenous name: Parakupa-vena or Kerepakupai merú which means the fall from the highest point, in Pemon language; Spanish: Salto Ángel) is the world's highest waterfall, with a height of 979m (3,212ft) and a clear drop of 807m (2,647ft). It is located in the Canaima National Park (Spanish: Parque Nacional Canaima) , in the Gran Sabana region of Bolivar State, Venezuela.
The height of the falls is so great that before getting anywhere near the ground, the water is atomized by the strong winds and turned into mist. The mist can be felt a mile away. The base of the falls feeds into the Kerep River (alternately known as the Rio Gauya) which flows into the Churun River, a tributary of the Carrao River. Named after Jimmy Angel who discovered it when he flew past in 1933 and crash landed in 1937 on the top.

Hymn to the Rain Forest- Nella Fantasia
Posted by Frogsworld in Rain Forest, YouTube Videos on 15. May, 2009 | No Comments
The Prince's Rainforests Project invited Sarah Brightman to sing at an event they hosted to engage the financial community in the task of finding a solution to the problem of making rainforests worth more alive than dead. This is the film that accompanied her singing. The music is Nella Fantasia – used in the soundtrack of the movie – The Mission, and often called a Hymn To the Rainforest.

*The producers of the HBO series "Treme," which follows life in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, are fighting to stop the demolition of a row of homes the city says are in danger of collapsing.
The homes became a symbol of post-Katrina in New Orleans when they were featured as the backdrop of a poster promoting the television series, according to producers, who say they'd rather the city preserve and renovate the homes instead, reports the AP.
Mayor Mitch Landrieu's administration says the houses are in imminent danger of collapse and that neighbors want them demolished.
Landrieu's spokesman also said Thursday that the houses are across the street from a park and playground.

In September 1973, while Richard Poirier was its Director of Graduate Studies, I returned to Rutgers to pursue a PhD in medieval English literature. From 1966 to 1970, while he was Chair of the English Department, I had been an undergraduate English Major there. I had spent the three years away from Rutgers studying ancient languages and learning the complexities of textual criticism at Princeton Theological Seminary seventeen miles down Route One from New Brunswick. During my undergraduate years Poirier was, at least for me, a rumor, an impalpable presence upstairs in Scott Hall, where English was then located, the big star, vast and terrible. I hadn't encountered him much. Department Chairs are busy and have reduced teaching loads. I actually saw the University's President, Mason Gross, more often, for one semester he taught a Philosophy course in Voorhees Hall, and our paths would often cross as I was on the way to my own class. He'd always smile shyly and say hello, though he didn't know me.
Poirier taught Introduction to Graduate Studies back in 1973, and it must have met early in the week, because its opening class was my very first after rematriculating. He was a few minutes late in entering, and while the forty new grad students were waiting, I passed the time wondering what I was doing there. I had grown accustomed to the tweedy Presbyterian civility in Princeton, and my fellow students now looked a little wild. A few were lighting cigarettes, which people could do and often did in classrooms back then—but not at Princeton Seminary. One fellow, shortly to become a good friend, was wearing a black cape and a monocle and using a cigarette holder. I was hardly naive, but it was difficult to ignore the difference between the two schools. I didn't want to go back home smelling of smoke. People in my undergraduate classes lit up far less frequently, and no one wore a cape or squinted through a monocle.
Transitions greater than the one I was now making were happening that year. The year was, in fact, remarkable for the convergence of so many liminalities. My own transition was of course foremost in my mind, not only the return to secular studies but also some other things like negotiating a commute from my apartment near Princeton in traffic that, even back then, fluctuated from the annoying to the downright dangerous and, for that matter, readjusting to a Rutgers College which had gone co-ed in my absence. When political, cultural, and critical paradigm shifts take place, we sometimes don't take much notice, only in retrospect fully realizing what had happened. But while they were going on, those of 1973 were hard to ignore.
The Vietnam War, for instance, was in a crucial phase of its long wind-down. "Vietnamization," one big political word among many that had haunted that war, was in full swing. The word euphemized the gradual pull-out of American troops, and its major component was the end of the military draft in June of 1973. President Nixon had originally conceived of the cessation of the draft as a means of undermining the student anti-war protests that were so much a part of college life in the late 60s and early 70s, but by the time Congress had approved the strategy, it had become clear that the war had to end.
Rutgers during my undergraduate years had been a politically active campus, though not quite to the extent of other schools like Berkeley or the University of Wisconsin. There were protests and sit-ins, and the University cancelled all final exams for the Spring Semester of 1970, the term I graduated, in the wake of the shootings by members of the Ohio National Guard of anti-war protesters on May 4 at Kent State. Four students had been killed and nine others wounded. This event culminated a tense academic year, in which the summer of the Woodstock Festival (billed as "three days of peace and music") had been followed by the exposure of the My Lai massacre in November and the invasion of Cambodia in April. There had been "teach-ins" against the war at Rutgers in 1965 (the year before I had arrived), and the Spring Semester of 1968 had been particularly given to anti-war activities there. At one protest, on the lawn in front of Old Queens, Mason Gross had come out to express his sympathy with the protesters.
Poirier shared this sympathy with liberal and radical young people, a sympathy that we did not then expect from our elders, those people Poirier termed the "middle generation." In "The War against the Young," originally published in the October 1968 issue of The Atlantic Monthly and incorporated into his 1971 book The Performing Self (New York: Oxford University Press, 1971) as its seventh chapter, he writes:
The social systems which organize and rationalize contemporary life have always been ingeniously armed for the day when youth would rebel against the essentially pastoral status assigned to it. Despite pamperings until recently unimaginable, despite economic briberies and various psychological coercions, the rebellion has broken out. Predictably, the response to it is a gradual escalation involving a more naked use of the tactics that were supposed to prevent, but which also helped to provoke, the crisis in the first place: patronizations, put-downs, and tongue-lashings, along with offers of a place in the governing system (if only the system is left intact) and promises that in any case the future itself holds the solution to whatever now seems to be the trouble. If this technique sounds familiar in its mixture of brutality and pacification, in its combination of aggression and absorption, . . . if it sounds vaguely like methods used in other and related domestic and foreign conflicts, then the point is obvious: our society is unfortunately structured, in the prevalent forms of its language and thinking, in ways designed to suppress some of the most vital elements now struggling into consciousness and toward some awareness of their frustrated powers. (pp. 143-4)
Poirier was doubtless writing these words in the immediate wake of the 1968 protests at Rutgers. They comprise his version of Gross's sympathetic remarks to the protesters sprawled across the lawn outside his office window. They are, characteristically, uttered from a larger stage with an audience primarily made up of members of the conservative middle generation, not the protesters of the radicalized youth. And Poirier is careful to situate Vietnam as one of a larger group of issues he associates with the revolutionary youth:
The intellectual weapons used in the war against youth are from the same arsenal—and the young know this—from which war is being waged against other revolutionary movements, against Vietnam, against any effective justice, as distinguished from legislative melodrama, in matters of race and poverty. (p. 144)
As a young person then, I'm not so sure I knew this. I took part in protest simply because I wanted the violence to stop and was not then, as I am now, interested in making those connections.
I think something more than Poirier's insightful political analysis is on display in these opening remarks of "The War against the Young," for I there hear the voice of Poirier the teacher. It is a powerful pedagogic technique to treat students as better than they actually are. It is a kind of intellectual siphoning: if you want your students to be literary critics, treat them as if they already are, and if you want them to grasp the complexities of politics, war, and social justice, assume that they already do.
In 1973 I returned to a Rutgers that had become politically quiet. The war wasn't officially over until 1975, but there was, for the moment little left to protest about. The revolution seemed over. With the cessation of the draft in June 1973, there was a feeling that we had turned a page and were ready to move on. We were wondering what to do next, now that the Age of Protests was seemingly over. In that 1968 essay, though, Poirier speaks as if a radicalized future were inevitable. Citing Roland Barthes (at a time before so many people found it fashionable to do so), he writes:
"Power, or a shadow cast by power, always ends in creating axiological writing," as the French critic Roland Barthes puts it, "in which the distance which usually separates fact from value disappears within the space of a word." To prefer "rationality" to "revolution" is good Time magazine language. It can't be faulted except by those who feel, as I do, that a revolution is probably necessary if rationality is to be restored to a society that thinks it has been operating rationally. (p.148)
Over forty years after Poirier wrote these words, the revolution has not occurred. A member of today's middle generation, I daily watch my college students interact with the world largely by means of their cell phones, content with their place in that world. If youth doesn't replenish itself in quite the way Poirier later in "The War against the Young" implies, he at least knows how to ask questions still pertinent today:
Before asking questions about the propriety and programs of young militants who occupy buildings, burn cars, and fight the police, let's first ask what kind of a world surrounds these acts. (p. 154)
Poirier's sympathy for the young extends to its culture as well as its politics. He was one of the pioneers of cultural studies, as his essay "Learning from the Beatles" attests. The piece was first published in 1967 in Partisan Review and was later incorporated into The Performing Self as its sixth chapter. I hadn't yet read The Performing Self in September 1973, and when one of my friends mentioned his piece on the Beatles, I assumed it was mere posturing, a literary analysis of sub-literature as an attention-getter. But I was wrong, as I eventually found out. The essay is not a literary analysis at all. It is instead a cultural analysis, primarily of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. In 1973 I hadn't yet realized that a work of popular culture could stand up to rigorous intellectual analysis; I was ignorant because so few people were then doing this kind of work. I was wrong also because Poirier is not at all condescending towards the pop culture he treats. He seems genuinely to like the Beatles and their quirky, allusive songs:
Culturally speaking, the importance of the Sgt. Pepper album is that it finally put the Beatles, in the summer of 1967, beyond the shabby treatment or defensive patronizations of any of these factions. It isn't enough to say that it was then the latest and most remarkable of the thirteen albums composed and performed by the Beatles since 1964; some such claim could have been made for each album when it appeared. Sgt. Pepper wasn't in the line of any continuous development. Rather, it was at the time a sort of eruption, an accomplishment for which no one could have been wholly prepared. It therefore substantially enlarged and modified all the work that preceded it. Those who took it in this way went back to the earlier Beatles as one might to earlier Mark Twain after something as astonishingly unexpected in its brilliance as The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. (p. 115)
I had been conditioned to responses to the music of my generation by members of the middle generation far less generous than Poirier. My father, who like Poirier fought in World War II, is still capable of vituperative remarks against the likes of Paul McCartney and Mick Jagger, as anyone sitting in the room with him during their recent Super Bowl performances could attest. Though they are now on the exiting cusp of the present middle generation, their music falls on my father's deaf ears as inexplicably bad "young people's music." "How can anyone listen to that noise?" he still redundantly asks.
Between the Partisan Review version of "Learning from the Beatles" and its inclusion in The Performing Self, the Beatles broke up and went their separate ways. Others had been trying to take their place—the Grateful Dead (whom Poirier in 1971 vaguely terms "a group called the Grateful Dead" [p. 169]), Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, David Bowie, and emerging "singer-songwriters" like James Taylor, Joni Mitchell, and Yusuf Islam, who still called himself Cat Stevens. Country Western music was beginning to push its way out of Nashville and into the mainstream. Disco music was looming. As Poirier notes in "Rock of Ages," Chapter 8 of The Performing Self, the three days of peace and music of Woodstock had morphed into the violence of the Altamont Festival, where members of the Hell's Angels were implicated in the murder of a young black man. A guitarist, I had performed pop music as an undergraduate, but by 1973 I was listening exclusively to classical music, gradually transitioning into a performer of early music on the lute, as I am today. It may have taken me a while to read Poirier's piece on the Beatles, but I now wish I had read is sooner, for it is full of critical insights as quirky and interesting as the songs on Sgt. Pepper. I might then have stayed with pop music longer than I actually did.
When Poirier came through the door for the first class of Introduction to Graduate Studies in September of 1973, his appearance confirmed that social conventions had shifted during my three years away from Rutgers. My male professors, both at undergraduate Rutgers and at Princeton Seminary customarily wore jackets and ties. Poirier was that day in shirtsleeves with his collar unbuttoned. The pencil-thin tie and dark jacket of so many 60s professors, including him if we can judge from some old pictures, was gone. This was interesting enough, but what really caught my attention was something else. He began that first class as if it really were its second, still a week away. He didn't introduce himself, as I find myself invariably doing at the beginning of each course I teach. I have never been inclined to arrive a few minutes late, and I could not do so today, even if I wanted to, because the demands of today's classroom technology are too great. I must arrive early to log into the room's smartboard and set up in advance the websites and video clips that have become a large part of my teaching. But no one imagined that technology in 1973. Poirier's slightly late arrival, lack of an introduction to the course, and immediate attention to literature were all, I guess, calculated—the informal dress and lateness as a statement that he would follow his own conventions, the lack of introduction an acknowledgement to us that he knew that we needed none from him, the immediate attention to a literary work almost a moral imperative that asserted literature as the proper focus of that day's class, of the whole course, of our future careers. It all, of course, was a performance, an enactment of the performing self.
The profession that he was sharing with us was also very much in transition in 1973. A number of alternative modes of criticism, including cultural studies and feminist analysis, were just beginning to offer viable alternatives to the close reading of the New Criticism that had long dominated literary analysis. My undergraduate years had been devoted to learning the tools of reading closely—concentrating on detailed attention to words and the structures they created. Much of my graduate work employed these methods as well. But in retrospect what I learned doing this at Rutgers did not entirely conform to the expected patterns of New Criticism. Irony and ambiguity, the classic concepts of that criticism, were often there, but the analyses were frequently edgy, off-center from New Critical norms. They were often, to use a word again, quirky.
One can sense something of Poirier's misalignment with New Criticism in The Performing Self. Some of the critics he cites, like Roland Barthes, were soon to be central to the postmodern criticism that supplanted the older mode. His book's own transition from the literary concerns of its early chapters, where Eliot, Joyce, and James loom large, to the cultural studies and political analysis of its later chapters mirrors the movement of the literary profession subsequent to the book's publication. Its subtitle, "Compositions and Decompositions in the Languages of Contemporary Life," assumes a postmodern critical stance, and prefigures the deconstructionism that was to become so famous in later years.
The reading list for the course I took from Poirier in 1973 was quirky, a bit scattered, and very interesting. If memory serves, we did James's The Portrait of a Lady, some poems of Frost, Pynchon's The Crying of Lot 49, and Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra. The course did not, in other words, focus on bibliography or professionalization, as do introductions to graduate studies at other institutions. What I remember most from the class is not pioneering work in progressive modes of criticism—though that was evident enough—but instead Poirier's exacting reading of short passages of the works we covered. We functioned on the level of words and learned to back up generalizations with those words, with syntax, with allusions—close reading with an edge.
He enjoyed these authors as much as he enjoyed the Beatles. That is not to say that he bought into the unreflective worship of authors that one occasionally finds among the New Critics and the historicists that preceded them. But he did not endorse "the death of the author" either, or, for that matter, blame his authors for socially retrograde constructions. He once in class termed Shakespeare—hyperbolically but not ironically—the "god of the English language." What I best learned from him was that postmodern criticism, cultural studies, and performative analysis need not preclude love of literary achievement. One can go forward without leaving everything behind. It is a valuable lesson, even after thirty-six years.

Labour has urged the Office of Fair Trading to investigate the pensions industry as part of its campaign to increase transparency of costs and charges.
Providers have come under pressure from pension experts and politicians over the impact high charges will have on peoples' retirement savings ahead of automatic enrolment.
The Association of British Insurers has argued that new auto-enrolment schemes have an average annual charge of 0.52 per cent. However, the Pensions Institute says some schemes set up in the 1990s charge up to 3 per cent a year.
Addressing the National Association of Pension Funds conference in Liverpool today, Labour Shadow pensions minister Gregg McClymont (pictured) said: "We are calling for all costs and charges to be made clear to employers, savers and trustees. Costs and charges should ultimately be disclosed as a single pounds and pence figure.
"Labour would act to cap charges on pre-stakeholder pensions at 1 per cent. Labour wants the Office of Fair Trading to investigate the pensions market and we think this will inevitably result in the full disclosure of costs and charges."
McClymont's comments follow a report published by the Pensions Institute last week warning that a lack of access to financial advice could see small employers stick with old, high-charge schemes for auto-enrolment rather than switching to a low-charge scheme such as Nest.
The report calls for a 0.5 per cent price cap for group pension schemes.

On the day of your arrival in the Tribhuwan International Airport, Kathmandu, you will be picked up by our airport representative at the airport and transferred to your hotel. The drive from the Airport to the hotel will be of less than an hour. In case you will arrive early in the morning we can arrange a day programme. This however is optional.
Day Two Trek Briefing and Sightseeing around Kathmandu
Your trekking guide will visit you in the hotel to brief you about the trek after your breakfast. After a short briefing you will be accompanied by our city guide for a sightseeing tour of Kathmandu Valley. We will visit places such as Kathmandu Durbar Square, Pusipatinath Temple and Bauddhanath Stupa.
Day Three Drive/ Fly to Pokhara(850m)
After breakfast, there will be some free time to look around in Thamel, the heart of tourism in Kathmandu. Later in the morning we will commence our trip to Pokhara. You will have a scenic mountainside drive of approximately 5 till 6 hours. On the way there will be plenty of time to stop in local villages and to take a look around. It is always possible to request a stop as a sight which may seem interesting to you. In the evening we have arranged a traditional Nepalese dinner with a cocktail night after. This night we will stay in Pokhara.
Day Four Drive to Nayapul(1010m) and Trek to Tikhedhunga(1570m)
Nayapool is the starting point of our trek. From here we walk down to the Modi Khola(river) from the road. It is then a pleasant 20 minutes walk to Birethanti Village(1025m). After lunch we move on along the Bhurungdi Khola passing a small water fall and suspension bridges which will bring us to Natathati. The trail to Hille(1500m) climbs gently . Another 15 minutes walk we will arrive in Tikhedhunga village (1515m).
Day Five Trek to Ghorepani(2840m)
After crossing a suspension bridge over Bhrugundi Khola we start a steep ascend to Ulleri(2070m) using stone steps. This is on of the most difficult parts of the trek with more than 3000 steps to climb. The reward for scaling the 3000 steps to reach Ulleri is the splendid view of the Annapurna South and Hiuchuli(6441m) peaks as well as Bhrugundi valley below. Ulleri is a pretty village largely comprised of Magar people. After Ulleri the trail climbs less steeply and we soon reach the settlement of Banthati(2300m). Then passing through the Rhododendron forest, which is spectacular between March and April, we reach Ghorepani(2750m).
Day Six Optional Hike to Poonhill and Trek to Tadapani(2610m)
Early in the morning, if the weather is fine, we hike up to the sunrise point Poonhill. It is around an hour hike up there. From Poonhill the view is literally breathtaking, a wide range of Himalayan Panorama from Dhaulagiri(8167m) to Manasalu(8156m) and the Annapurna range in between.After the sunrise view we walk back to Ghorepani for breakfast and continue the trek to Tadapani. From Ghorepani the trail climbs steeply through the Rhododendron forests, climbing above 3000m before descending down to Deurali(2987m). From Deurali the trail descends down into the impressive river gorge and to a small village called Banthati, our lunch point. Langur monkeys are often visible on the trees in this area. After lunch the trail descends down to a second bridge and from here we climb up to TadapaniI(2595m). There is quite a superb view of Annapurna(8091m) from here. It is around 5 hrs walk.
Day Seven Trek to Chhomrong(2170m)
After a short distance, the trail drops steeply through the rhododendron and oak forest to the bank of Modi Khola for around one and a half hour. Then the trail ascends to Gurjung, our lunch spot. After lunch some ascend and descend of around two hours will take us to Chhomrong. Chhomrong offers spectacular a view of the Annapurna(8091m), Fishtail(6993m) and other peaks.
Day Eight Trek to Dovan (2500m)
From the lower part of the village we descend to the suspension bridge over the Chomro Khola(river) and climb steeply at first. Passing through Tilche, a steep climb brings us to Bhanuwa. A little further up is SIinuwa, which is the perfect place to stop and admire the view back down the Modi Khola behind you. About an hour beyond Sinuwa lies the Annapurna Conservation Area Project(ACAP) check post at Khuldigar(2540m). From here the path to Bamboo (2335m) is steeply downhill and we enter the dense bamboo forest, from where the place takes its name. After lunch at Bamboo the trail climbs steadily, crossing first the Bamboo Khola and then several small streams, until eventually it reaches Dovan(2505m).
Day Nine Trek to MBC(3700m)
About an hour walk from Dovan stands a holy shrine and it is traditional to leave flowers and strips of colored cloths here. After crossing some streams across Modi Khola, we move on to place called Himalaya(hotel)(2900m). Around 45 minutes or so from Himalaya stands the huge rock that is known as Hinku cave(3170m). This area is prone to avalanches during the time of snowfall and there have been disasters. If there is no snow on the upper part of the rock face, there is no problem. From here we soon reach Deurali(3230m). From Deurali, we go to the riverbank, follow the path until we come to Bagar (3300m). We head to Machhapuchhare Base Camp, which is about 400m higher.
Day Ten MBC- ABC(4130m)- Himalaya
We start early in the morning to view sunrise from Annapurna Base Camp, if the weather is clear. This is a rather pleasant stretch from the Annapurna Base Camp, if you are not suffering from altitude sickness. If you begin to suffer altitude sickness soon descend back to Macchapuchhare Base Camp. After an hour excursion at the base camp we descend down to Macchapuchhare Base Camp and have lunch there. After lunch we will continue down to Himalaya.
Day Eleven Trek to Chhomrong (2170m)
We take the same route back to Chhomrong as we went up last week.
Day Twelve Trek to Landruk(1570m)
From here we change the route and walk down around one and a hour to Jhinu. After short rest we walk down to the hot spring and come back to Jhinu for lunch. From here to the hot spring and back takes around one and a half hour. Here we have our lunch and move forward. First, we move down an hour to the bridge and around two hours up to Landruk(1565m). This is a large Gurung village, directly across the valley from Ghandruk, stretches 500m up the hillside. There are good views up the Modi Khola(river) to the Annapurnas from here.
Day Thirteen Trek to Dhampus(1650m)
An hour slight ascend will take us to Thorka and another one and a half hour walk to Bhichowk and mostly through the jungle to Deurali for about 1 and a half hours. Descend down and slightly straight for about an hour to reach Pothana. From here it is 1 hour to reach Dhampus. Some tourists come over from Pokhara to Dhampus to spend a night, specially to see the sunrise over the mountains.
Day Fourteen Trek to Phedi and Drive back to Pokhara
After a last few hard days, today is a short, comfortable walk steeply descending off the ridge towards the road. At the bottom by the road is Phedi. It is around one and a half hours walk. From here Pokhara is around 45mins drive.
Day Fifteen Rest Day in Pokhara
Today we will have a rest day in Pokhara. this day gives you the chance to relax at the lake, or rest as much as needed. If wished we can also arrange a full day excursion. This full day excursion is optional and not included in this tour package.
Day Sixteen Drive / Fly back to Kathmandu
Today we will drive back to Kathmandu. In Kathmandu we'll organise a farwell dinner. If wished we can also book your hotel for the night.

The Future of Shin Buddhism
In 1992, a talk given by Dr. Nobuo Haneda appears to have foreshadowed many of the comments we hear today. Not only does his vision of the future for Shinshu and the need for change, appear to be in line with the statements from the Times and Bee articles (see: Jodo Shinshu Buddhism in America: The Challenge of the Future) but he helps us to understand why change is necessary.
Shinran Shonin, the founder of Jodo Shinshu, was himself a radical who broke away from the meaningless, out-of-date traditions of his time. Quoting from an article by Dr. Haneda, "...in order to insure a future, we must first make a distinction between two kinds of tradition in our temples. The living tradition of Buddhism is self-examination. Self-examination is the process of examining and accepting our shortcomings, our self-centredness and arrogance. It is a humbling experience, but one which also leads the way to the desired attitude of a student, a seeker. As such, self-examination is completely non-ethnic and non-cultural. It is universal...Buddhism is either for everyone, or it is worthless." The dead tradition, on the other hand, is made up of things like chanting and ancestor worship.
Of the two traditions found at the temple, it is the living tradition that Dr. Haneda feels we need to promote in our temples. The living tradition is universal, dynamic, practical, and is the essence of Buddhism. Thus it is the one thing that can foster the survival and even the spread of Buddhism in America. The dead tradition, according to Dr. Haneda, is only of secondary importance. Although practices such as chanting and ancestor worship are given secondary priority, that is not to say that they should automatically be abandoned.
Quoting again from the article: "They are like 'containers,' he said. Whatever importance they have is only because they hold or perhaps stimulate something that is important...that is the living tradition, the process of self-examination. All Buddhists who are serious about the Dharma clearly differentiate the Living Tradition from the Dead Tradition. An example is Shinran Shonin: he was a harsh critic of the dead tradition, a radical negator and destroyer of the dead tradition. But this was out of deep respect for the Living Tradition. It was not for the sake of negation, but out of deep respect for the Living Tradition."
In a separate article, Dr. Haneda challenged us to redefine our priorities, to place the emphasis in our temples on the essence of Buddhism, the Living Tradition and "not on the ethnic and cultural elements or part of the Dead Tradition...This is the essence of Buddhism. It is the spirit of the student, the seeker. It is also the creative spirit. The living tradition comes directly from Sakyamuni himself, from his enlightenment which was the insight into the truth of impermanence." Dr. Haneda goes on to explain that there is a difference between culture and religion: "Culture is not self-negating. It is something that we enjoy. Religion, on the other hand, challenges and negates the self. Culture can give us amusement, comfort and pleasure, but only the Dharma can give us deep joy, rebirth and a fundamental spiritual transformation."
In conclusion, he called the living tradition of Buddhism a "wonderful treasure," and declared "If we hide it in our ethnic container, it is a crime. It is the living water that can quench the thirst of all humanity. It can liberate all the people in the world." To Dr. Haneda, an ongoing problem is that the Shinshu Buddhist tradition here is controlled by a Japanese headquarters. He says, "What is crucially needed is a 'July 4th Independence Day' in our Buddhist calendar too. It is our problem, we have to do something about it ourselves...there is precedence for this independence--Christianity, Judaism, Catholicism,--they all became independent from the country of origin. This is the inevitable way if Buddhism is to survive in this country."
Another noted Jodo Shinshu scholar, Dr. Alfred Bloom, Professor Emeritus of Religion, University of Hawaii, echoes in many ways the feelings of Dr. Haneda. To Dr. Bloom, the problems we see in our temples seem to "point the finger" as it were at the "entangling web of tradition and subordination imposed by the Japanese religious perspective," to quote from his series of articles entitled Shin Buddhism in Modern Culture, published on the Shin Buddhism Network homepage. "Tradition," he says, "should be a stepping stone to deeper insight and experience, and not a barrier to growth. Tradition should not become ingrown, but should be out-growing as it correlates to the ongoing times...we should consider Buddhism in the following way: Buddhism is a movement, not a position; a process, not a result; a growing tradition, not a fixed revelation."
Dr. Bloom goes so far as to identify what he calls the "Japanese Problem" or how the Japanese ethnic and cultural traditions have stood in the way of progress, the true process of renewal, self-questioning and growth that is the essence of Shinshu. He writes, "On or Giri--duty or obligation has operated among the Japanese Americans as a basic ethical foundation for human relations. This on-giri relationship is essentially conservative. It can be stultifying in personal groups...the individual must be more conscious of his external relations rather than what one may perceive in their inner awareness. There is a tendency to be conformist, unquestioning, and prudent." Another aspect of this problem, says Dr. Bloom is that "racial homogeneity, reinforced by language and culture, makes it difficult for non-Japanese to enter the heart of the Buddhist tradition."
Echoing Dr. Haneda's and others' call for American-trained ministers who can comfortably and confidently communicate the Dharma to Americans, Dr. Bloom writes, "Since most Buddhist ministers in Hawaii are recruited from Japan, a large percentage of them have problems speaking or relating easily in English and are often ill-at-ease in the ways of western culture." To Dr. Bloom, one can begin to wonder if in fact Buddhism is only a Japanese religion, as the appearance of its membership might indicate. Or is it indeed, a world religion as indicated by its historic process of spreading from India through all of Asia. "Somehow, in America," Dr. Bloom observes, "Buddhism must develop its own distinct form as a part of western culture, as, in Japan in the sixth century, it began to develop its own distinct form as a part of Japanese culture. Though twentieth century Buddhism in America is indebted to Japanese sources and inspiration, it should not be entirely controlled from that source.
Of course, there have already been attempts to adapt Buddhism to the West but, as Dr. Bloom points out, these were carried out only superficially, in "piecemeal" fashion. "Change and adaptation were limited to alterations in church services, music, hymnology, pews, and temple construction. The crucial internal adaptation in thought and communication with the broader culture of the American community--is only now beginning to occur."(sic) Furthermore, like Dr. Haneda, Dr. Bloom makes a plea for us to question tradition: "If tradition does not manifest and make clear the truth, what is tradition? For religion to remain vital, its followers must keep the question of truth open and uppermost in their considerations."
Dr. Bloom points out, questioning Buddhist tradition is indeed difficult because, "Buddhism, wherever it appears, Mahayana or Theravada, Southeast Asia, Japan or Hawaii, is highly traditional and this traditionalism is one of the factors that makes it difficult for Buddhism to change in the face of modern problems." However, says Dr. Bloom, to question a religious tradition does not mean disrespect, but instead, "a deeper respect in any attempt to understand and appreciate deeply the roots which brought that tradition into being."
Despite the challenge, however, Dr. Bloom, like Dr. Haneda, is optimistic basing his optimism on the timeless and liberating truth that is the essence of Buddhism. He states, "I believe that, despite its past experience and history, Buddhism in America stands at the threshold of a new era... Buddhism--and in particular Shin Buddhism--has the opportunity to become free, to chart new paths for those who are Shin Buddhist by inheritance, as well as those who are attracted to the teachings, thought, and the existential meaningfulness of Shinran Shonin. That existential meaningfulness is rooted in the life story of Shinran, of his personal, spiritual struggle which bears such strong parallels to the deep personal struggles, the alienation and sense of loss and failure of modern men and women."

Some modules do not work correctly when not run via the named perl executable within a full perl installation. In some cases you may be able to fix this by patching the module as it is packaged.
You can create specific patches to apply to specific versions of the module. When you create a new patch you are prompted to enter a module version. You can enter a module version string or you can enter 'DEFAULT'.
When Cava Packager encounters the module, it determines which patch version to use by taking the highest patch version that is equal to or less than the module version. Comparison is done on a string basis. If no number match is found, Cava Packager will fall back to the patch marked 'DEFAULT' if one exists.
You can create a single patch that will apply to any version of a module if you define its version as 'DEFAULT'.
You can copy and paste patches you have created into the window, or you can use Cava Packager to create a patch by using the edit button. Cava Packager will prompt for and open the base module in an edit window. You can edit the code and save your differences as a patch in the Cava application.
Note that Cava Packager uses the Text::Patch module to apply patches. This works perfectly if your patch is prepared directly against the version of the module you are patching. However, it will not perform vague or fuzzy matching like many command line patch utilities. If your patch was prepared against a different version of the module you are patching, then any line offsets will cause the patch to fail. This will be reported in the build log.
If you wish you can select an external patch executable to use instead which may provide more features such as fuzzy or offset matching. You can set an external patch executable in Global Preferences.

"Then Jacob gave Esau some bread and some lentil stew. He ate and drank, and then got up and left. So Esau despised his birthright."
Genesis 25:34 NIV
How often we "sell" our spiritual inheritance short of God's intended abundance. Esau gave way to impatience, the desires of flesh, and natural hungers. In so doing he "despised" his birthright. For the middle eastern mindset, it is not so much that he hated the gift of his birthright, only that in comparison to his PURSUIT of some stew it seemed to be despised.
Modern believers might say that they do not despise the promises of God, but in comparison to our PURSUITS of the things of the world we have sold short.
