A community in the Madera County foothills is coming together to honor local veterans with a new monument.
A piece of land off of Highway 41 and Road 415 in Coarsegold will soon be the home to a permanent monument honoring veterans. All five branches of the U.S. Armed Forces will be honored.
Caring Veterans of America's, Bob Bender said,"It is to show them that we haven't forgotten them. It is a good dedication to them and for the local people to see their families represented here."
He has been overseeing, planning, and construction for the last 18 months but the actual planning stages began nearly five years ago.
Donations from the community are covering the cost of the $35,000 project.
A member of the Coarsegold Chamber of Commerce donated the land.
Bender says this small Madera County Community is the backyard to many veterans in the foothills and the Sierra.
"And since we have over three thousand veterans based out of this area. We felt that this might be a good central location for the area together for when people drive to Yosemite National Park."
Bender, who is a veteran himself worked with other veterans Monday morning to begin final preparation for Saturday's big unveiling.
Bender is confident work will complete in time for Veterans Day, he is just nervous about thanking everyone who made this possible.
"And to see this bigger than they thought to me is very exciting to show, thank you. I've never seen a community come together so fast and so strong."
Everyone is invited here to the Coarsegold Historic Village off of Road 415 and Highway 41. The ceremony takes place Saturday morning at 10 a.m.
A permanent tribute for local veterans is about to be unveiled in Madera County

Another Episode
Let me preface this piece by explaining that it's not what people are used to reading from me because I have spent the last three plus years sporadically writing fantasy. But, a lot of my older work was about the things lonely and depressed people did to cope. I think I've proven to myself and to the precious few who read this thing that I can write in the fantasy genre, and this is me kind of going back to my roots for funzies. The inside of The Office, off the corner of 6th and Avenida Del Vista, was humid with the evaporated sweat of its patrons at happy hour. He swore he could feel the collective stench of the place seeping into his skin cells. The thought was singularly unpleasant enough to distract him from the curly haired brunette in a teal scoop neck currently eye humping him. She had been giving him "the look" for the last fifteen minutes and he had pretended not to notice that she had returned from the bathroom no longer wearing her bra. He knew that despite the bar's olfactory mine field, that she could smell his emotional unavailability and the taciturn demeanor which so often reminded women of their fathers. Did she know about the divorce too? Probably. That sort of thing leaves a mark. What about his spurned confession to Emily just minutes after Cynthia had him sign the papers? Scoop neck had to have known about that.
Joel peered around, purposely avoiding looking in the direction of the woman he'd be spending the night with. Aside from himself, The Office never had a set of regulars but every night he spent here was the same. The bartender complained about the heat and not so subtly unbuttoned her shirt where the men could see her. A table of housewives gossiped over sugar rimmed cocktails. Another loner usually sulked near by, babysitting a half shot of scotch he clearly didn't enjoy, sporting thick rimmed glasses or a neatly trimmed beard, and brooding over some scrawled notes in a journal or notebook. Upon some introspection, Joel decided that while he commended the faux-artistes for their commitment to the bit, he really hated people who pretended at being intellectual. Finally, there was Joel, the idiot who didn't even have enough self respect to drink alone and lacked the payroll to really get drunk in a bar. Resigning himself to another night of shallow escapism, he downed his Johnny Walker Red, made eye contact with the woman in teal, and then walked over.
Almost three hours later, while standing naked in Scoop Neck's bathroom, his cell phone read that it was 11:34. He thought the number appropriate and grabbed a baby wipe from the package sitting on the travertine sink counter. Sighing, he proceeded to clean himself off. The condoms she had him use left a gunky residue he didn't want to fall asleep with, but after going through two wipes he called it a lost cause. Joel slipped his boxers back on, flicked the light off, and stood in the dark room for a full minute before he finally creaked into Scoop Neck's bed. He hated sleeping alone. Lying on his back, he got a good look at the ceiling. It reminded him of Cynthia's dorm room.

"You Feel Like An Animal In A Cage": Keanu Reeves Gets Candid About The Dark Side Of Stardom
May 15, 2019 10:41 By Fabiosa
Almost everyone wants to be a world-famous celebrity. The perks of stardom are widely advertised but, what if it's all a hoax? Keanu Reeves revelation sheds light on the dark side of a Hollywood dream.
The Matrix sensation had become a household name since the 80s. His franchises often extended to series because of his persistent excellence. Keanu holds the 26th rank among the most celebrated contemporary actors. His handsome looks, unwavering talent, and professional skills are bound to ascend him even further.
Fame challenged him
Reeves talked to The Sunday Telegraph and revealed his struggle with star spotters. People provided him a 24/7 surveillance as they watched his LA mansion from dusk till dawn. His home had become a major tourist attraction. While he appreciates people's love and admiration, he also felt alienated.
Keanu has no trouble wandering in Los Angeles anonymously. However, living in his own house is an ordeal, he says:
There are tourists, vans, and trucks. They visit everybody's home and sit outside. So, I'll come out in the morning and get my newspaper. You feel like an animal in a cage. They look at you like, "There's one!".
Being humble
His father was a drug addict, and Keanu suffered from dyslexia in his childhood. He also had to endure the loss of his sister, who died of leukemia, and his girlfriend, Jennifer Syme, who passed away at 29. Despite such prominence, Keanu remains down-to-earth and incredibly kind. If he's known for anything besides his acting career, it is his golden heart.
How Keanu deals with his fans and makes them feel comfortable is just extraordinary. Nonetheless, paparazzi are probably the most disturbing thing about Hollywood.

By Michelle Francl-Donnay
Be still and know that I am God, supreme among the nations, supreme on the earth. – Ps. 46:10
"There is no such thing as bad weather, only the wrong outfit," says my Swedish neighbor as our paths cross walking in weather that has driven more sensitive, or perhaps more sensible, souls inside. I've got the right outfit for this bitter weather – my bright red coat and a hand-knit scarf that wraps several times round.
The scarf was a gift from a student who knit as she listened to recordings of my quantum mechanics lectures. Every time I take it out to wear, its length reminds me of how long Julia was willing to sit still and listen to what I had to say.
My own knitting project is similarly a measure of my time spent sitting and listening – my contemplative time. When I took the sweater out to work on in the midst of the storm-enforced stillness of last weekend I was struck by how little progress I'd made of late. Only an inch since Advent ended? I suddenly have a vision of some angelic bookkeeper measuring my contemplations by the inch and wince.
I am reminded of Ernest Hemingway's advice to writers: "First, apply the seat of the pants to the seat of a chair" and suspect it is easily adapted to contemplatives as well: First, sit still.
It's advice the early desert mystics heard and heeded. Fourth century Roman senator – and later anchorite – Arsenius prayed, "Lord, lead me to salvation." God's response? Fuge, tace, quies. Fly, be silent, rest in prayer. Arsenius abandoned his post tutoring the emperor's sons and fled to Alexandria, where he immersed himself in silence and peace and prayer.
I hear God reminding me it's time to move as well, not from Rome, or even from the bedlam that is part and parcel of parenting teen-aged boys, but from Ordinary time into Lent. The sweater, lying unheeded all these weeks in my knitting bag, is issuing a call to silence and stillness – tace, quies.
I tend to associate stillness with Advent, not Lent. While Advent's stillness carries with it a sense of expectation and encourages a silence that lets the quiet voice of a newborn be heard, Lent often seems to bustle noisily, generating its own spiritual to-do list. We give up, take on, confess, convert. But do we sit still?
In reflecting on this verse in Psalm 46, St. Augustine offers a different perspective on our need for stillness, one that ground me more firmly in Lent's call to conversion. He draws our attention to what we can notice when we sit still in God: "You are not God, but I am. I created you, and I recreate you; I formed you and I formed you anew." Augustine's reading echoes my favorite translation of this psalm, which renders this verse as "Let go and know that I am God, I loom over the nations, I loom upon earth."
God is not far distant, but hovering close by us – calling us to let go, acknowledge our powerlessness before the God of the universe, and fall into His hands that He may recreate us. Our salvation is immanent and imminent, if only I can sit still for it.
Elected Silence, sing to me
And beat upon my whorled ear,
Pipe me to pastures still and be
The music that I care to hear.
– from The Habit of Perfection by Gerard Manley Hopkins, S.J.

I'm a political nerd, I genuinely enjoy knocking on doors and talking to people about the issues that matter to them. For me campaigning abroad is a chance to support a cause I care about, learn new things and visit new places. In 2008, campaigning for Obama in Florida I was inspired by his incredible ability to make politics speak to people using stories, and impressed by the grass roots organisation that crowdfunded millions in micro-donations. I'm here to pick up campaigning tips and try to prevent the rise of Donald Trump. Because their election budgets are bigger, the Americans can invest in developing new tools and tactics, which can be applicable at home, and also for corporate communications campaigns. Here's what I have learned:
- Grievance politics is here to stay. There are strong echoes to the Brexit vote, with an elite metropolitan establishment shocked and distraught at the divide that has apparently emerged between them and an overwhelmingly white, marginalised, angry, rural working class. We await further breakdown of the polls in the next few days but to me it feels eerily familiar. Trump has risen a tide of frustration with the elites and people's feeling that they are being left behind by globalisation.
- Regretfully negative campaigning works. This has been the most vitriolic political campaign that I have ever worked on. People on the doorsteps ranted at me about how crooked Hillary was, others said Trump was a lunatic. Both candidates have the highest negative ratings ever seen during a Presidential race. Without doubt the Republican's relentless negative campaigning against Hillary has worked– partisan attacks on the Clintons dating back to when Bill held office in the 90s have taken their toll on her public perception. Perhaps because of this she has developed a defensive media handling habit that has also hurt her, in my view. She struggles to show her genuine passion for public service with authentic, unscripted moments few and far between. In the face of absolute bile from her opponent during debates she remained so stiffly dignified that came across a little robotic. Many voters would have like to see a more human reaction. Trump on the other hand is seen as more authentic every time he is more offensive.
- Americans campaign on personality not policy. The leaflets I've delivered and adverts I've seen mostly speak to faith, family values and lifetime commitments to defending rights, in a way that I suspect would make most Brits gag a little. Although one of my favourite ads makes a virtue out of one candidates personality flaws. The Presidential race has been very policy light, with Trump in particular making sweeping generalisations that mean little in reality. He speaks of draining the swamp of Washington. This leaves plenty of wriggle room for him to react to new situations in office but will mean the markets have had a tough time pricing in the likely impact of a Trump presidency.
- The amount of money is mind boggling. The UK Conservative party spent about £15.5 million, Labour £12 million and the Liberal Democrats £3.5 million on the 2015 General Election, all the UK political parties combined spent less that £40 million. I supported democratic candidate for Pennsylvania Katie McGinty, who is locked into the most expensive senate race ever, $81million combining the candidates and affiliated groups. I was campaigning with a regional advertising director for a major media company who told me that collectively US elections would top that figure almost every day in ad buy. Interestingly she also estimated that only 25% of the spots she booked were negative ones but they come in a much higher frequency towards the end of the campaign and get more attention, which explains the feeling that it is wall to wall negative.
- Grassroots ground game matters but it's not everything. If you've been paying close attention, you'll have heard a lot about turnout assumptions and how much they can skew polling models. Particular segments of the electoral are important to either candidate – women and black and latino minorities for Clinton and white, blue-collar and college graduate men for Trump. I have been working with teams trying to get out the vote in Washington DC (calling and texting voters in swing states) and in Pennsylvania in York and Philadelphia. The organisation to ensure that Democratic voters get to the polls is slick but it's not glamourous stuff. Reminding people to register, telling them where their polls are. Its less uplifting than in '08 but teams of hundreds of door knockers are motivated by fear rather than by hope this time around. The volunteers I spoke to were resolute "he is scary, we must not let him get in, this is the first time I've campaigned". New York people apparently queued round three blocks to get on buses to come to Pennsylvania to help out where it mattered. A friend in DC jumped on a plane to North Carolina with four days to go to help get out the vote.
- Change is a more powerful message than more of the same. In the last few days particularly Barack Obama has been out talking about Hillary represents his legacy and the continuation of the promises he made. In all countries, the pendulum of public opinion swings away from an incumbent party after about eight years. Arguably even
- This result is disappointing for women and girls around the world. I really believe "you can't be what you can't see" and that we need powerful female role models to inspire us all. For a generation of girls around the world, to see Hillary Clinton alongside Angela Merkel and Theresa May calling the shots, would have be immeasurably uplifting. Donald Trump has shown such a shocking lack of respect for women during the course of his campaign. His win sends a message that being an aggressive misogynist is the way to get ahead and that his disregard is acceptable. Thus far not a single political analyst on any of the major channels has questioned whether latent sexism has played a part here. It will be interesting to see if this emerges in the next few days.
When I first floated the idea of the trip my American family said they need all the help they can get. Volunteers and organisers valued the extra pair of hands. On the doorsteps I told people it was important to us Brits because America has a global reach and they totally got it. Arguments about the right name for pants vs trousers aside, America and the UK share a lot of cultural and economic values about competition and collaboration, public service, decency and openness – and many of those stand to be eroded if Donald Trump fulfils some of his campaign rhetoric. We might not always agree on policy but we need America to be a force for good in the world, now more than ever.

We love our body care products in the US, don't we? Lotions, make-up, creams, shampoos, soaps, mouthwash, deodorant, perfume- all of these products we use daily, and the synthetic chemicals they contain, can actually have a significant impact on our health.
Many of us have body care products we swear by and love using because of the scent, the look, they "work", a heavy marketing influence, or some other nostalgic reason. I believe we also want to make choices that we feel good about as informed consumers and health advocates for our families.
As a community health nurse, I encourage education, awareness, and consideration of the Precautionary Principle in purchasing and using body care products. The Precautionary Principle states: When an activity raises threats of harm to human health or the environment, precautionary measures should be taken even if some cause and effect relationships are not fully established scientifically (Retrieved from http://www.sehn.org).
If there ever was a time to examine what we are putting on our skin, in our hair and in the air around us, it is during pregnancy and when we have young children in the home. More than 200 industrial chemicals have been discovered in the cord blood of newborn babies, raising concern about the toxic burden on young children. Children are more susceptible to these chemicals in products used in the home because their small body mass means that even minimal exposures can have a bigger impact on their developing immune systems.
A few fun facts about the cosmetic industry:
- The Food and Drug Administration has no authority to require companies to test cosmetics products for safety. The agency does not review or approve the vast majority of products or ingredients before they go on the market. FDA conducts pre-market reviews only of certain cosmetics color additives and active ingredients that are classified as over-the-counter drugs (FDA 2005, 2010).
- With the exception of color additives and a few prohibited substances, cosmetics companies may use any ingredient or raw material in their products without government review or approval (FDA 2005). Whereas the European Union has banned more than 1,000 ingredients from use in cosmetics, the FDA has only prohibited 8 (FDA 2000a).
- The FDA has authorized the cosmetics industry to police itself through its Cosmetics Ingredients Review panel. In over 30 years, the panel has only declared 11 ingredients or chemical groups as unsafe, although this recommendation is not binding on companies. People are exposed to cosmetics ingredients in many ways: breathing in sprays and powders, swallowing chemicals on the lips or hands or absorbing them through the skin. Biomonitoring studies have found that cosmetics ingredients – such as phthalate plasticizers, paraben preservatives, the pesticide triclosan, synthetic musks and sunscreen ingredients – are common pollutants in the bodies of men, women and children. Many of these chemicals are potential hormone disruptors (Gray 1986, Schreurs 2004, Gomez 2005, Veldhoen 2006).
- Cosmetics frequently contain enhancers that allow ingredients to penetrate deeper into the skin. Studies have found health problems in people exposed to common fragrance and sunscreen ingredients, including increased risk of sperm damage, feminization of the male reproductive system and low birth weight in girls (Duty 2003, Hauser 2007, Swan 2005, Wolff 2008).
Source: The Environmental Working Group: Myths on Cosmetic Safety
In general, I prioritize products that are going to have the biggest impact on my family's health this way:
- Products that cover a lot of skin surface area (lotions, body oils, foundation, sunscreen)
- Products that go in our mouths (toothpaste, mouthwash, lipstick, chapstick)
- Products with fragrances or that could be inhaled (perfumes, hairsprays, body sprays)
- Things we use multiple times a day (hand soap)
I do NOT lose sleep (anymore) over these things:
- Makeup such as eye shadow, eyeliner and mascara
- Nail polish
Once again, The Environmental Working Group's work in this area is incredibly helpful. They have created a guide with over 68,000 products you can search for a score based on potentially harmful ingredients. CHECK IT OUT HERE. EWG also has a Guide to Safer Sunscreens to help you make wise for your family. I have found these resources to be so helpful in navigating this often overwhelming issue and most of the safer products can easily be found in stores and online.

The Mighty Act of Beginning Again
I think one of the most beautiful words in the English language is "begin." It comes from the old Germanic meaning "to attempt, to undertake."
And oftentimes, our first attempt, our first undertaking doesn't go as we wanted.
We don't paint the landscape the way we see it in our mind. We don't qualify for the marathon, our scores don't make the cut, we get a "Thanks, but no thanks" dismissal.
It can be a big whack to the spirit.
Which is why I think one of the most triumphant phrases in the English language is "begin again."
It's courage's triumph over discouragement. Yes, we attempted. Yes, it didn't go as hoped. And no, that won't stop us from learning all we can learn from the first attempt. Then going back out there to begin again.
And that is one mighty act.

"Arguably the director's most approachable film, Caravaggio feels like a work more concerned with tone and texture than storytelling. The narrative does move in a coherent fashion if one is paying attention, but the succession of ravishing images ultimately overwhelms the senses to the extent that any character development is secondary. Jarman's usual idiosyncracies are in evidence, such as his injection of period anachronisms (modern formal dress, typewriters, and so on) at odd moments to provide modern analogies"

The construction site of St. Thomas Aquinas Church - Newman Center has seen a bustle of activity in the past month. With the erection of the steel frame of the building still ongoing, the building is taking shape and the bell tower is rising above the entire complex.
On April 12th, prior to the annual UNL Red-White Spring football game, the Newman Center along with Phi Kappa Theta Fraternity hosted an open house. The event began with lunch at the PKT Fraternity house. Tours of the Newman Center were provided by the Newman staff throughout the afternoon. Over 100 guests were able to view each floor of the new building. Even Bishop James Conley, Bishop of Lincoln, attended the open house, and along with the other guests, was shown first hand the new meeting rooms, offices, and residence.
Kevin Clark and Father Robert Matya presented at the Community Night after the 10pm Mass on April 24th. The presentation provided the students with an update on the building project and process. As a special surprise and highlight of the evening, the students were invited to sign the final beam which will be placed at the top of the crossing tower of the Church.
The decorative painting of the altar and ambo are still underway at Gold Leaf Studios in Washington, DC. The tabernacle portion of the altar has finally received painting including the inscription across the gradine of the altar. Taken from the first chapter of St. John's Gospel, the inscription reads "Et Verbum Caro factum Est et habitavit in Nobis et Vidimus Gloriam Ejus Gloriam Quasi Unigeniti a Patre Plenum Gratiae et Veritatis."
Finally, the baptismal font is complete and currently in the process of being shipped to Nebraska.

Gov. Chris Christie seldom fails to get what he wants from the Legislature. But two bills he backed that were fast-tracked despite ferocious opposition fizzled. A measure that would have ended the requirement that legal ads be published in local newspapers was pulled. Another that would have let Christie profit from a book deal while in office died altogether. These were stunning defeats. Today State Senate President Steve Sweeney commented for the first time to NJTV News Correspondent David Cruz and other members of the press.
Sweeney: The Assembly put a couple of bills up and if they, it was his responsibility to pass them, that's what he said he was going to do, and we would address them in the Senate if he passed them.
Cruz: That's a little bit of a cop out, senator, because you were on this too.
Sweeney: Listen, I didn't even discuss them in my caucus. You know, my colleagues told you we didn't have any conversation, if it did not leave the Assembly that we would not discuss it. It's not a cop out, it's the truth.
Reporter: How did the book salary bill come about? Did Christie come to you about it?
Sweeney: No, [Sen. Paul] Sarlo talked about that in the committee. You know, that we said no one was happy about that bill because we were desperate to get raises for judges because we're concerned about the quality of the type of people that are coming on the bench and be able to retain them. You know, I think Sen. Sarlo retained it. It wasn't a perfect bill by any means, but it was one that we thought we needed to pass.
Reporter: But did Christie pitch that to you, or did you guys come back with that as a compromise?
Sweeney: I think that was a global discussion, not a pitching by me for sure.
Reporter: Both the speaker and the governor are saying that legal ads bill will be a priority for them after the holidays. Is it a priority for you?
Sweeney: Listen, we said before, depending on what the Assembly does we'll have the discussion in the Senate. We did not have a discussion in the Senate. Both bills passed committees as you know and no action was taken. There was no discussion taken the day of the action. The speaker has said that and we'll see what he's going to do.
Reporter: When you think just generally about priorities for the state, why would this be, what is so important about legal ads for newspapers that this would be the top of the agenda for the Legislature?
Sweeney: I don't know if he said it was the top of the agenda…
Reporter: He said it would be a top priority.
Sweeney: Who did? [Assemblyman Vincent] Prieto?
Reporter: Governor and Prieto was asked if it's a top priority for him and he said yes.
Sweeney: Well, we have a lot of top priorities is all I can tell you.
Cruz: Do you have an opinion on either one of those bills?
Sweeney: Listen, I've said something about the book deal many times, David. I think we might be one of the only states in the country that doesn't allow a governor to write a book. I don't have that for a fact, but I know Gov. Cuomo wrote a book two years ago. You know, I didn't see the issue. I understand that the governor is very unpopular and people are mad, but I also said who's going to buy the book?
Cruz: Are you of the opinion that the newspapers are unduly profiting from legal ads?
Sweeney: I think that since the creation of the internet 20 years ago, at least 20 years ago if not 30, that you know there's more people that read the newspapers online than they do in the newspapers.
Cruz: What about seniors and poor people?
Sweeney: Poor people don't buy newspapers because they're poor. You don't make the assumption that all poor people and all seniors don't get the internet. If you were 50 years old when the internet was born, you're 70/75 now, so it's not like you weren't exposed to it. And you know, David, I hope, and this is the discussion that I had with the press, when I killed this bill back in the last session around 2010 or 2011, whenever it was, I was the one that announced we weren't going to do it any more. And the press said we're trying to figure a way, we're trying to figure a way to capitalize on the internet. Well, I think you're seeing a movement, and you see two publications now in the state — Spotlight and Politico — that don't produce a paper newspaper. And they do a pretty good job, so I think the industry itself is at the crossroads on either they're going find a way to profit from their product, because right now I read all the clips for free just like everyone else does and they have to find a way and I know they're working on that way, or they're going to have to come up with another business model.

One of the worst kept secrets in the storage world is finally out. EMC are acquiring XtremIO for a reported $430 million, as documented in a previous post.
The EMC press release talks about XtremIO as "one of the world's widely regarded Flash storage architecture pioneers", yet they have no revenue or paying customers to reference. Although I speculated that EMC may have been acquiring IP to develop for Project Thunder, perhaps the actual reason was to acquire the talent within the company to help bring Thunder (and new products) to market. Regardless, two things are for sure:
- EMC are acknowledging that all-flash arrays are a new market segment
- EMC are confirming that all-flash traditional arrays simply can't cut the mustard

Presentation can be extremely important for a business. The way your employees present themselves to your potential customers must positively reflect the capabilities of your company, your products and your services. Professional embroidery helps to make that happen. BE REMEMBERED. You want those customers to remember your name and a well displayed logo can help. Having your company logo displayed on your employee garments helps those customers find you.
NO MINIMUM ORDER. Small orders are not a problem at Sally's Embroidery. Our minimum is ONE. We welcome and encourage small, personal groups to try us out. We will gladly help you get that bowling shirt or gift ready!
EVERY ORDER IS CUSTOM. Have a special occasion coming up? We have embroidered quilt squares, car seat covers and rugs, even a prom dress and a Bible cover. Need initials put on your childs' sports bag? CALL US. If we can fit it in the hoop, we can embroidery it for you. WE ALSO DO PATCHES.
NEED AN IDEA? Check out our gallery, then use our links to look for garments or designs, if needed. Pick out an appropriately sized design and we will add your text to it in the font you select with no charge for a design fee. OR: Just call us. We will walk you through the process, it is probably a lot easier than you think and for your approval we always send a sample snapshot of what the design will look like sewn before it is sewn onto your garment.
CURIOUS ABOUT THE COST? Most logos that go on a left shirt front run about $8.50 to $10.50. Add a name to the right for another $5. A larger logo on the back of a shirt (such as a bowling shirt) runs about $15. Full back logos can run higher depending on the stitch count. The cost is relative to the number of stitches in the design, which is reflective of the amount of time and thread it takes to create your "masterpiece". If you need a quote first, we can estimate it for you. Depending on the quantity you need, quantity discounts may apply as well (because setup time is broken up by cost per garment).

Max Muller, a lifelong masquerade
Max Muller, a lifelong masquerade: the inside story of a secular Christian missionary who masqueraded all his lifetime from behind the mask of literature and philology and mortgaged his pen, intellect, and scholarship to wreck Hinduism
…all the princes whether they belonged to the so-called Aryan raceor the so-called Dravidan race were Aryans. Whether a tribe or a family was racially Aryan or Dravidian was a question which never troubled the people of India, until foreign scholars came in and began to draw the line.
Worshiping of Baba againts the teaching of Hindusm
Shankaracharya of Dwarkapeeth's comments regarding worshipping Sai Baba.
NEW DELHI: Supreme Court on Monday refused to intervene on controversial statement made by Shankaracharya of Dwarkapeeth Swami Swaroopanand Saraswati regarding worshipping Sai Baba.
Sai Baba devotees can file a civil suit or criminal case against Shankaracharya if their right to worship has been hampered, the apex court said.
Swami Swaroopanand Saraswati had ran down the followers of Shirdi Sai Baba, saying they ought not to worship the 19th century mystic who was no God, and remove his photographs and idols from temples where he gets the pride of place with Hindu deities.
The 90-year-old pontiff's comments hurt a legion of Sai devotees. There were protests both against and in support of Shankaracharya's observations.
What The Seer Said:
"Hinduism is governed by Shastra and Vedas and there is no mention of Sai Baba. He should not be worshipped with Hindu gods… Muslims don't revere Sai Baba as much as Hindus do, who seem unaware of the 'adharma' they commit by worshipping him."
"They may burn my effigy or even send me to jail, but my campaign to protect the sanctity of the Hindu religion will continue… Sai Baba was a Muslim faqir who cannot be compared to Hindu deities or worshipped like them."
-yahoo groups
It is time Malaysia's education system introduces this concept of studying religions. Even in the study of Islam, Muslims need to look at Islam not as a person of faith would but as a non-Muslim would. And they need to study all religions, not just Islam. And this study must be done based on an outsider's or reductionist's point of view.

not to turn any school into a slaughter house.
I would like to urge the education department and all other politicians to respect the sanctity of schools and not to turn any school into a slaughter house.
Saravanan (PETA Asia Pasific Network activist)
Muslims are about to celebrate their holy festival on 3rd or 4th October 2014. The festival comes from the story of Nabi Ibrahim and his son Ismael. Instead of sacrificing Ibrahim's son, Allah instructed him to sacrifice a sheep according to the story. This particular festival will be celebrated as Eid Al-Adha.
Last year, my conversation with SK Puchong school's headmaster heated up Malaysia with the cow slaughtering issue in the school. I would like to urge the education department and all other politicians to respect the sanctity of schools and not to turn any school into a slaughter house. The incident of Nabi Ibrahim happened on a particular day in an open area and did not take place in any school.
Many UMNO politicians and Netizens commented that this is a Muslim country that they will do what they like. Some said if you don't like it, go back to India. Papagomo commented he should kill me and many other negative comments.
I would like to remind everyone that in our education syllabus, there is no special instruction to slaughter cows or any other animal in schools. It is not a religious issue but all parties should respect the school where we gain education. The law is equal to all citizens according to the Federal Constitution. Hindus cannot celebrate Thaipusam in National schools and Chinese cannot celebrate their ghost festivals in the school. So the Education department and school headmasters should not not create double standards.
I did some research after last year's issue. Malaysian Muslims didn't slaughter cows during school hours 15 years back since British colonization. I have collected information from Jordan, Morocco, Turkey, and Qatar, they never slaughter animals in the school during school hours. This shows Malaysia is practicing a different Islam than other Arabic countries.
Qurban festival was celebrated in mosques, suraus, residential halls and other places where it is convenient. We do not oppose that. But as a human rights and animal rights activist I will watch closely what will be your real intention to celebrate this festival by slaughtering cows during school hours.
The cow slaughtering act doesn't align with the education syllabus or school co-curriculum in any part of the world.
Celebrating cow slaughtering in the school will make kids psychologically traumatized. Even if the teachers and students were asked not to "see" the slaughter, fine, but one can always "hear" the slaughter being carried out.
Any country's parliament would never approve such an inhumane act of slaughtering animals in the schools. It is a great disgrace for the country. All schools should follow world educational guidelines which is approved by the UN. Definitely animal slaughter will not be part of the system. Malaysian parliament should come to a decision to respect non violence.
Cow slaughtering in schools can cause POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER. PTSD develops after a terrifying ordeal witnessing a harmful event that happened to animals or humans. War soldiers and victims have faced this syndrome or even people working in slaughter houses.

"Michele is on a mission, a fearless exploration of printing in all media know to mankind, on copper or wood, with acid or with sugarlift, building a wonderful body of work."
"Michèle est investie d'une mission, une exploration intrépide de la gravure à travers toutes les techniques connues de l'humanité : sur cuivre ou sur bois, à l'acide ou au sucre, construisant un merveilleux corpus d'œuvres." - John Szoke Gallery, New York, Septembre 2017 John Szoke
In an evolution of 'The Infinite Plate' show at MGC Gallery in 2015, Michèle van de Roer provides a further interpretation of her work using both Japanese reduction woodblock carving techniques as taught by Takuji Hamanako and sugar lift techniques by Vijay Kumar. This extension of her earlier work entitled 'The Infinite Plate II' uses a single matrix and a variety of printing combinations to assert that there is great variety even in apparent commonality. The same curvilinear patterns variously suggest to the viewer topography, drapery and volumetric dimension that are highly sculptural and diverse.

In the past I have written about being authentic and about the many Hats I wear. I know you, too, have a plethora of hats that you adorn as you live our your life. I still struggle, however with fully embracing each one of them. The hats seem to be so very different. It gives me cause to question each ones authenticity in my life. Am I merely playing dress-up, or are the hat tailor-made specifically for me?
I have been speaking to the Lord about this. He is patient with me, as I have asked these questions many times before. He reminds me that I am created in HIS image, not the image that others created of me...or even the image I try to create in myself! In short, as long as I am wearing the hats HE has tailor-made to fit me...I am wearing the right hat.
I have to take inventory, though, and purge the ones that don't fit. The hats that others have given me. The ones I have made and/or altered. The ones that might look good, but aren't truly mine. It's not easy. It's not fun. It's a "letting go" process...but on the other hand it's Christmas! The hats the Lord has given me to wear are more beautiful than any I could dream up on my own. They fit better than the ones others have given me. They reflect who I am better than the ones I have tried to alter.
I have my own personal milliner...and He is a MASTER at his craft! When I walk in the hats He gives me...I am confident.
Have you gone through your hat closet lately to inspect whose hat you're wearing?

Peter Breinholt has been delighting audiences with his self-styled music for decades. He has sold out every major concert hall in his home state of Utah many times over, including Kingsbury Hall, Capitol, Tuacahn and Sundance. His credits also include seven albums, a live DVD, songbooks, film scores, songwriting awards, and concerts with several symphony orchestras and choirs.
Here's how it all started: Born in Philadelphia, Peter taught himself to play piano and guitar mostly without help. Around age 11 he started coming up with his own songs, and by the time he was in high school in Salt Lake City, he was forming bands and performing throughout the region. While he was a student at the University of Utah, Breinholt self-financed his debut album and called it "Songs About The Great Divide". The album went on to became one of the best-selling, independently released CDs ever in the state, almost entirely by word-of-mouth. Salt Lake Magazine described the album as "an underground classic". Since then, Breinholt's music has spread around the globe, seemingly by itself. He has performed everywhere from New York to Los Angeles, from Spokane to San Antonio.

This is a direct copy from Ali Edwards, but it was so moving, so profound to me, that I had to share it:
Anna Quindlen : "...but the biggest mistake I made is the one that most of us make while doing this. I did not live in the moment enough. This is particularly clear now that the moment is gone, captured only in photographs. There is one picture of the three on them sitting in the grass on a quilt in the shadow of the swing set on a summer day, ages 6, 4, and 1. And I wish I could remember what we ate, and what we talked about, and how they sounded, and how they looked when they slept that night. I wish I had not been in a hurry to get on to the next things: dinner, bath, book, bed. I wish I had treasured the doing a little more and the getting it done a little less."
See? How quiet is this message that should be shouted from the rooftops? Too quiet, if you ask me. Spread the word: "...treasure the doing a little more and the getting it done a little less." I know I am.

LinkedIn Employment Strategy Using Referral Programs
Wouldn't it be great if you knew someone at your target company? Then they could personally hand your resume to HR and you'd be first in line. That would be best case scenario, right?It would actually be a best case scenario for your contact too, because they would likely get a bonus check for making the referral.
Employee referral programs are the 2nd most popular way to find a job. That means LOTS of companies have them, and their employees are eager to cash in.

Yeah, Ringo Starr had one as a mono overhead or on snare or toms or maybe he even sang "Octopus' Garden" into it at a private live gig in an abandoned temple on a Greek island that was recorded on 8mm film by a former girlfriend of Magic Alex and is only known to the most enthusiastic Beatle tragics on the globe, that's ok, fine! The AKG D19 is a very good microphone, true. I don't want to discuss whether it is overrated, overpriced, overhyped, overdiscussed, over-researched, over the rainbow or over-anything, but judging from our experience, an AKG D19, Telefunken D19 or any of its siblings in the year 2016 is mainly one thing: broken. Which warrants a place of honour here among the unearthed crypts of the living dead on trashblitz.com!
First things first, a humble attempt at mentioning all the possible D 19 OEM versions, in alphabetic order for you to enjoy. Everybody knows what they look like anyway, so there's no point in keeping this information secret – a microphone looking remotely like an AKG D19 will be bought at ridiculous prices at any point in time anywhere in the Western world. Alright, so here it is, without all the B, C, E and Bk/Hi and stuff:
- AKG D119 (later version of the same microphone)
- AKG D 24 (same capsule)
- Norelco D19
- Norelco D119
- Philips EV 7014/21/NO
- Philips EV 7014/22 ("pistol" stud version)
- Philips EV7024/00 (same as the D 119)
- Philips NG1219
- ReVox D19
- Siemens D19/69
- Telefunken D19
- Uher Breitbandmikrofon 619
- Uher M 532
- Uher UD 19
Quite the list, isn't it? The D19 was once incredibly common, used by tape amateurs, reporters and professional recording studios alike. Along with the Sennheiser classics, it was basically a staple tool in Western European broadcasting, which is why the Beatles picked it up, I guess.
If you manage to get hold of a working and good sounding specimen, this is a very versatile, detailed and bright sounding dynamic with a warm and subtle tone. Gorgeous, really. But that IF should be spelled in capital letters. No, actually it should be underlined, bold and italic: IF you manage to get hold of a working and good sounding specimen…
The D19 is notorious for having aged rather badly, especially the B versions of the capsule, which might be something about the materials used for magnet and diaphragm, though I have no idea about these technical details. Some of the Telefunken D19s we've found on flea markets sounded really dull, some rather thin. Sometimes they had very low output, so we bypassed the transformer and nothing changed. The first good AKG D19 we caught sounded nothing like the others, every single mic seemed to be in a different state of life or decay.
Often cables were ripped out, resonators were broken, the grille had signs of brutal abuse but appeared unopened (#1 trashblitz life hack: more often than not, the screws on the grille / headbasket of old mics go IN, not OUT), so maybe the damage also comes from a classic conflict of interest in terms of design and use: People used it outdoors for sound hunting, for rough broadcasting applications, but it is a delicate and fickle mic to begin with. Open any of the D19s up, no matter if it's one with fixed cable for "home use" or with 3-Pin DIN connector, and you'll know:
Screw in the tiny screws to get off the grille and wonder where they went (probably stuck to the magnet or the diaphragm right away), then you'll be in constant terror about ripping off the fragile leads to the capsule, afterwards you'll be puzzled how to get the bass rolloff back in (a brass plate with fiddly brass rings around it, fixed with a tiny screw which requires not only watchmakers' tools, but also watchmakers patience to get back in) and then be puzzled some more about how on earth you'll get the grille back on. This is madness. This is the tainted holy grail of dynamic mics.

Canadian Music Week(CMW), April 20th, 2017
by Paul Fliss
I walked into the venue with a clear bias.
Their collaborative release, Star Stuff which came out a little under a month ago, already has over 35 plays on the unnamed streaming service I should not use if I really cared about compensating artists as much as I should.
So needless to say, I had been looking forward to this one, and on top of that, they played in what is easily one of the best looking and sounding standing-venues in Toronto.
You can't help but look up when you enter the main room of The Great Hall. Tucked indiscriminately within a seemingly small building at the intersection of Queen West and Dovercourt, the historic venue seems kind of like a hidden 'second' Massey Hall to me.
Except the beauty is that the concerts are far cheaper, and depending on the show, you can walk right up to the stage or hang out from a balcony that stretches almost 360 degrees around the whole room.
And so there I was in that beautiful venue hardly waiting for too long, dreaming about how these musicians would translate an album that, although has that sort of 'we-just-played-this-together-off-the-floor-and-that-is-the-sound-we-are-going-for' quality to it, there's also many layers of abstract sound and samples of soundscapes, dialogue and the like that maybe isn't so easy to reproduce.
I'm happy to say Chaz, and the Mattson twins did not disappoint-- not at all.
All three stepped out onto the stage together with Chaz beginning at his 'Company' records-stickered synthesizer-- the line-out running through some kind of shimmery effect pedal, with a sample pad on top to boot.
Jared picked up what may as well be his signature cream coloured Stratocaster, immediately stomping-on his MXR phase 90 pedal.
And Jonathan took to his natural habitat: sitting on a throne behind his kit with cymbals just a slight raised-arm-length away from him.
The lights dimmed with the Great Hall's characteristic blue hue, the crowed cheered, someone shouted "I love you Chaz!", the trio locked eyes, Jonathan counted in by clanking his sticks together, then Star Stuff was born again.
Maybe it is my biased opinion talking (isn't that what a review is anyway?) or maybe not, but this show was just infectious. Anyone who is a fan of psych-jangle-jazz (to typify it) couldn't help but at least bob their head and float around in someway if they were in that room.
They played the whole album as far as I can remember, with long jam-like outros with Chaz alternating between keys and a Hofner viola bass which also-- of course-- was running through a phaser.
Chaz's characteristic vocals, with his light phrase-driven affectations mixed with a sort of airiness he is known for in his project Toro Y Moi, chimed in first with the title track "Star Stuff"
Familiar themes of the tribulations of travel, the confusion of love and time were brought to life:
"I don't know what's behind me
I couldn't tell you where she is
Images remind me of a time when we were kids"
--Star Stuff begins, pulling the listener into a nostalgia-fueled lunge backward to the muddled past and all that it means, or doesn't mean
"Look at the sun,
Look at the red behind your eyes
Look at the way,
Everything fades, everything fades, everything fades..."
--"Star Stuff" ends returning to a tight high-hat driven rhythm with swelling lush synth tones layered on top of Jared's only slightly reverberated strat being lead by an E-Bow.
A Boss RC-20 Loop pedal on Jared's board supplied the samples of soundscapes and waves crashing along the coastline that these southern-california-dwelling folks hail from during the outro.
Later in the night, their first release prior to the album, a song called "JBS" found its way into the set. Beginning first with a clear and phased-clean guitar melody with a blended dripping delay surrounding Chaz's 'dooping' bass that has the odd melodic lick at the end of a phrase, helping to compliment a ride-heavy-triplet-accented rhythm, "JBS" finds its home as the third track off of Star Stuff beginning with the phrase:
"I think I've gone and lost my mind"
--It's not until about two and a half minutes in that we hear Chaz sing on this track. It's the first track on the album with vocals, and it's the third song in.
His voice is warm and just present enough in the mix (something that was captured very well at the show).
Finally after taking the listener through some winding sonic spaces, "JBS" ends with a farewell and a repeated statement anyone can relate to at times:
"I say bye.
I know I have to be alone inside, I know I have to be alone inside"
See a live performance of JBS here
It's probably one of my favourite songs, maybe second to the opening track "Sonmoi" : a sprawling six and a half minute ride that begins with an eerie but settling wash of a reverb-ed acoustic and electric soundscape doused with a tambourine, which all gets progressively louder until suddenly an overdriven-phased bass and guitar swoop in each taking a different-but-jointed melody backed by a snare and ride heavy staccato-ed beat. No words are spoken, and the track ends with bongos, and a return to the reverb-ed wash at the beginning of the song, with the sounds of surf sliding through.
For each song that they played off of Star Stuff, it really felt like I was listening to the album and to me that's not necessarily a necessity in a concert. I don't want to see artists reduced to robots replicating something they've made in the past, so the spontaneous jams that every song ended with before each member visually-cued each other for a tight ending was a real treat. It all felt well orchestrated but organic to use a trite term.
They also played a few Toro Y Moi tunes including "The Flight" from 2015's What For? which was a pleasure to relive.
Jared took over the near-classical piano line--originally played by Astronaut Etc.'s Anthony Ferraro, a classically trained pianist who tours in Toro Y Moi-- in the middle of "The Flight" which was a real testament to his ability as a jazz guitarist.
Halfway into the set, Madeline Kenney, who supported the trio on their tour, was brought back out on stage to help with "Omaha" a single Toro Y Moi released late last year as part of Secretly Canadian's Our First 100 Days project: a multi-artist compilation subscription-based release with songs all centered around themes and circumstances of citizens impacted by current social policy changes in the United States.
The trio also debuted a new (unnamed) Toro song that reminded me a lot of the tones explored on both What For? and Star Stuff.
All in all, this band and everything Chaz and the Mattson twins touch is worth seeing and hearing.
I'm so glad they came to Toronto and as soon as Chaz and Madeline finish producing Madeline's debut LP that's being released through Chaz's label Company Records sometime this year, I'll be waiting in line like the fan boy I am.
Oh and also, by the time I got to the merch table to pick up a copy of Star Stuff on vinyl, they had already sold out.
Way to support great music Toronto!

Jasin Boland snapped the shot below of actress Amber Heard on the set of Aquaman and director James Wan released it via Twitter.

In the comic she's a powerful character who can control water and communicate with marine life. Later she becomes the Justice League member and Atlantean King's wife and takes the throne as the Queen of Atlantis. Do you like how she looks?
James Wan posted the image above and said in the Twitter post, "Lady MERA swept in from the sea. First day with the exquisite Amber Heard. (Shot by the talented @jasinboland)"
Actress Amber Heard who plays Mera posted the image below to her own Twitter account saying, "Meet Mera. Day 1. #Aquaman"

The purpose of this research was to investigate the degree of effect product quality has on brand loyalty and to determine other factors that are responsible for brand loyalty especially in the Nigerian telecommunications industry. Previous research had shown that product quality has an effect on brand loyalty but there is still little or no literature discussing the extent to which product quality influences brand loyalty and none of the product quality models adopted for the Nigerian market. The qualitative and quantitative research methods were used; interviews were conducted on five MTN personnel and questionnaire was distributed to 150 respondents who use MTN in the Victoria Island metropolis, Lagos State. The research results showed that product quality was not the strongest factor that led to brand loyalty but market inertia and that product quality was more likely to lead to brand loyalty when customers judged the product as having very high or high quality in the Nigerian telecommunications environment. A critical study of market inertia as a factor that leads to brand loyalty is recommended.

1.2 1.2 Background to study
The marketing environment has become a very competitive one as it is has continued to evolve. Thus, it has become important for businesses to look for ways of gaining and sustaining brand loyalty by building consumer trust. In essence, brand loyalty has become the target of all organizations. Organizations have realized that when customers are loyal to their brand, it provides the organization with steady form of income which in turn increases profits. According to Investopedia, companies that successfully develop loyal customers also develop brand ambassadors – consumers that will market a certain brand and talk positively about it amongst their friends. This is free word-of-mouth marketing for the company which goes a long way in saving the company some cost of promotion.
True brand loyalty exists when consumers have a high relative attitude toward a particular brand which can be exhibited through repurchase behaviour. This type of loyalty can be a great asset to the firm: customers are willing to pay higher prices, may cost less to the serve and bring in new customers to the firm (Reichheld and Sasser, 1990). A consumer purchases a product to fulfill his needs and has certain amount of expectations from the brand he buys. When he is able to meet those perceived value from the brand or expectations, he develops a trust and satisfaction towards the brand which is called "Customer Satisfaction". Customer satisfaction is a measure of how products and services supplied by a company meet or surpass customer expectation Farris et al (2010). Companies have begun to realize that it is easier and more cost efficient to find ways to improve customer satisfaction and retain current customers instead of paying more attention to winning new customers. Creating customer satisfaction is a defensive strategy and the behavioral objective for the defensive strategy is customer loyalty or what is known as "Brand Loyalty" (Fornell 1992).Prus and Randall in 1995 described Brand loyalty as follows: "Customer loyalty is a composite of a number of qualities. It is driven by customer satisfaction, yet it also involves a commitment on the part of the customer...

Years of undisciplined growth catch up with Vice as media's Hell Year continues.
Can a big live show save Viceland?
Viceland, the great attempt to make millennials care about cable, is producing a nightly prime-time two-hour live show. The program is called Vice Live, and I have absolutely no idea who it is for. Vice Live, according to Variety, "will serve as a showcase of sorts for all things Vice." Except for anything related to … Continue reading Can a big live show save Viceland?

Joshua Topolsky's The Outline is hiring staff writers and editorial fellows.

Currently, Mic is in the process of laying off a majority of its staff in preparation of a fire sale to Bustle Media.

Majority of staff at Mic laid off in advance of fire sale
Mic, the formerly ascendent news source for cool hip youth who are too smart for Buzzfeed but too dumb for Vox, is reportedly selling itself to Bustle, a women's lifestyle brand built on male cynicism. According to an initial report by Peter Kafka at Recode, Bustle "would consider bringing in half or less of the … Continue reading Majority of staff at Mic laid off in advance of fire sale

The Bald Conservative Men have no idea how to talk about race
The weaponization of liberal outrage was unavoidable. Still, it's surprising to see how quickly the world's dumbest people have realized taking old tweets out of context is an effective way to pressure the newly-woke megacorps into firing people they disagree with. Using the language of progressive fury (without any regard for nuance, context, or the … Continue reading The Bald Conservative Men have no idea how to talk about race
Alt-right leaders are insincere opportunists. But their followers aren't.
On the long list of sins committed by the dipshit ideological leaders of the alt-right, an underappreciated one is that many of them don't even believe the bad things they are saying.

TQ TeleConnection- April 2018
Millennials demand telehealth in a move away from traditional primary care model
It is no secret that millennials are a driving force in society today, and a new survey shows that their demands and behaviors differ from baby boomer and Gen Xers, and could reshape the healthcare industry especially when it comes to primary care and telehealth.
The 2017 Employee Benefit Research Institute/Greenwald & Associates Consumer Engagement in Health Care Survey was conducted online Aug. 10 to Sept. 1, 2017, with participation from roughly 3,560 adults ages 21 to 64 who had health insurance provided through an employer, purchased directly from a carrier, or through a government exchange. Eighty-two percent of respondents receive coverage through an employer. The sample was weighted to reflect the actual proportions in the population ages 21 to 64 with private, health insurance coverage.

Indivisible SF Endorses Ballot Initiatives to Address the Homelessness Crisis and Lack of Affordable Housing
Indivisible SF has endorsed two critically important initiatives on the November ballot.
YES on Proposition C: Our City, Our Home
Proposition C: Our City, Our Home provides additional funds for San Francisco to provide transitional and permanent housing, mental health and addiction services, and legal support for homeless people and those at risk of homelessness. These will be paid for by a tax of about ½% on gross receipts over $50M a year. This tax would affect only the very largest businesses in the city, but would raise up to $300M a year.
Proposition C will have a substantial impact on the homelessness crisis. It will:
Prevent homelessness for 7,000 households
End chronic homelessness for 2,800 people
End family homelessness for 1,000 households
End youth homelessness for 800 people
Eliminate the shelter waitlist for single adults
Address severe mental health illnesses and substance use disorders
Over 20,000 San Franciscans experience homelessness each year. 1,000 people are on the waiting list for shelter beds every night and another 7,000 are waiting for housing. One of every 25 children in SF public schools are homeless at some time in their lives.
Read more about the proposition here, and follow the campaign on Facebook and Twitter.
YES on Proposition 10: The Affordable Housing Act
Proposition 10: The Affordable Housing Act allows, but does not require, local jurisdictions to govern a landlord's right to establish and increase rent, as long as no local ordinance or charter provision curtails a landlord's right to earn a fair rate of return. Local ordinances would also be allowed to limit rent increases when a new tenant moves into a unit.
California home values and rents are the highest in the country and they continue to climb, while poverty levels reach an all-time high. An overwhelming majority of newly homeless people in San Francisco were previously housed San Franciscans who lost their homes due to rising rents. Increasing the available stock of rent controlled housing will help prevent very low income renters falling into homelessness. Truly affordable housing would help mitigate the homelessness crisis.
See more about the proposition here, and follow the campaign on Facebook and Twitter.

Authorize Yourself to Reach Your Destiny
Today humanity finds itself sleep-walking through a concept of life . . . not living life itself. In our evolutionary search for pleasure and to protect ourselves from the everyday pains of experience, we have developed this conceptual life that isn't life. Extremism attempts to pierce this numbness, but it is a failed reaction. Ironically, this has become a very painful cul-de-sac (a dead-end of sorts): with food that is not food; medicine that is not medicine; beliefs that are not believable, controlled by feelings that are not our feelings and thoughts that are not our thoughts.
Life has become the media driving our anticipations by comparing someone else's memories to all our present day fantasies . . . a far cry from experiencing the experience of living life. We are actually having a virtual walk through of the showroom life that we are supposed to be experiencing.
We avoid experiencing where we are, because we have developed a belief that it is not what we should be or want to be. Our life, always in comparison, and manipulated by the marketing power of media, stumbles sideways in search of some forward looking consumable. In this comparison-driven dilemma we feel wrong . . . we hate being wrong, so we avoid 'being' altogether. We live a concept of living, and we are in fact avoiding the very starting line of life. Externalized and disconnected from our life, we cannot even begin.
You, as your present identity, arrived with a consciousness - collected, nourished and grown — through thousands of progressive incarnations. Your destination — the true identity of your incarnation — is your journey from where you are (fate), to who you are (destiny). The ancients called it rasayana; a Sanskrit word for the path of pure essence . . . using innocence to locate your inner-sense and arrive at some common sense while experiencing life.
There are only two promises you must bring to this journey: (1) I accept the starting point of where I am . . . and . . . (2) I believe I am authorized to reach my destiny.
Set up a personal daily practice of yoga, conscious breathing while walking, and meditation. Move one small step forward every day and measure your progress after each day, week, month and particularly every forty days. Celebrate your experiences when you succeed and also when you fail.
Remember: failures are very important steps toward your goal . . . the goal of your destiny. Failures pave the roadways to every success. This is the lifestyle of our new evolution . . . it is very much alive for you today.
