food, escape enemies and find mates. This requires the animal
to have sense organs to examine its environment, and muscles
to actually move its body. The brain is the link between these
two, analyzing sensory information, deciding where to move,
and controlling the muscles to carry out this action. We will
focus on the first of these tasks, understanding how the inner
reality facilitates the analysis of sensory information. While it
is possible that the inner reality is also used in determining and
controlling movement, this is much more speculative and we
will not pursue it here.
To start, look at the photograph in Fig. 8-3 for a few
moments. When done, speak a sentence or two on what this
picture is about, such as if you were briefly describing it to a
Chapter 8: The Function of the Subreality Machine 123
An old photograph. This is easily recognized as a man and
a woman standing in a laboratory, taken around 1900.
Your response is probably something such as: "This is an
old photograph of a middle-aged man and woman standing in
a laboratory, probably taken about 1900." You might have
even recognized it as a photograph of the great scientists Pierre
and Marie Curie, famous for their work on radioactivity. You
were able to extract this key information with only a few
seconds of examination. It wasn't even difficult; this is a task
that can be quickly carried out by any normal adult.
The Inner Light Theory of Consciousness
Now suppose that we want to build a computer to perform
this same action. That is, we want to show it a picture that it
has never seen before, and have it provide a short description of
what the picture is about. We gather together a team of
engineers and scientists that are experienced in this area, such
as connecting video cameras to computers, developing software
to recognize shapes in digitized images, and creating databases
of stored information. We describe the goal of the project to
our technical team, and ask them to give us an estimate of how
long it will take, and how much it will cost. In other words, we
want to get a general idea of how difficult this task really is.
From a technical standpoint, is this something that is relatively
easy, or is it something that is relatively hard?
After hearing our goals, most of our technical group gets up
and walks out of the room, mumbling that we have wasted their
time. The few that remain are kind enough to explain. One of
them offers, "I rate the difficulty of new projects on a scale of
1 to 10, and this one is about 100." Another tells us, "Assuming
our current rate of technological learning, this is the kind of
project we might tackle 50 to 100 years from now." Still a third
comments, "We have all the basic tools, but the overall
complexity is just too great; it reminds me of a man holding a
brick, looking up at the great pyramids."
The point is, the analysis of sensory data is extremely
difficult, far exceeding the capabilities of present day computer
technology. We perceive it as effortless only because this brain
activity is blocked from our conscious examination.
The primary reason that sensory analysis is difficult rests
with the data itself. The information provided by our senses is
very poor quality; it is incomplete, ambiguous, contaminated
with interference, and degraded in a variety of other ways. As
an example, when you looked at Fig. 8-3 you probably didn't
notice anything unusual. But Fig. 8-4 points out a variety of
aspects of this picture that are difficult to reconcile with the
physical world. For instance, some of the objects merge
together without a distinct boundary between them, such as
Chapter 8: The Function of the Subreality Machine 125
Image discrepancies. Vision and the other senses provide a
poor representation of the physical world.
Pierre's foot and the floor. Other objects have an incomplete
relationship with their surroundings, such as the dark rectangle
floating in mid air. A scratch in the photograph shows up as a
horizontal line, with no relation at all to the viewed scene.
Severe problems are created by representing the three-
dimensional setting as only a two-dimensional image. This
produces missing elements, such as Marie's legs, Pierre's hand,
and the back side of all the objects. It also makes whole bodies
The Inner Light Theory of Consciousness
appear as discontinuous, such as the elbow being separated from
the remainder of the arm. Further, the resulting geometric
distortion changes the shape of objects, such as the rectangular
table top appearing as a parallelogram.
Your first impression might be that the comments in Fig.
8-4 are trivial and unimportant. No so; these are problems that
present day computer scientists struggle with on a day-to-day
basis. But the human brain has already solved these problems;
it is capable of finding the relevant data in the exceedingly poor
information provided by our eyes, ears, and other sense organs.
The question is, how does the brain do it so well, and what does
this have to do with an inner reality?
Filtering versus Matching
To answer this question, let's look at two techniques
engineers have developed to analyze poor quality data. As an
example, imagine that we want to receive a radio signal from an
orbiting satellite, as illustrated in Fig. 8-5. The signal being
transmitted is very simple, nothing but a sine wave at a constant
amplitude and frequency. This is very familiar to those who
work with electronics. If you don't have such a background,
just look at the pictures to get an idea of what is going on. The
important point is that the signal sent by the satellite is very
smooth and regular.
In an ideal situation, the signal received on the ground
would be identical to the one being transmitted by the satellite.
Unfortunately, this is never the case when dealing with signals
that have passed through the environment. As illustrated in this
figure, the received signal is very degraded; it generally
resembles the transmitted signal, but it is very jagged and
irregular. This is the result of many different problems. For
instance, the height of the peaks may fluctuate because the
satellite is in motion, or from atmospheric turbulence. In
extreme cases, this can result in sections of the received signal
being completely missing. Another problem is interference; for
instance, our receiver might inadvertency pick up the radio
Chapter 8: The Function of the Subreality Machine 127
Passing signals through the environment. The received signal is
a poor replica of the original transmitted signal, due to noise,
interference, and similar problems.
transmission from an aircraft flying overhead. This becomes
part of the received signal, degrading our ability to detect what
is coming from the satellite. Still another problem in acquired
signals is random noise, a term scientists and engineers use to
describe a wide variety of fluctuations. This results in such
things as "snow" in television pictures and static in radio
broadcasts. Random noise can arise from many different
sources, including the mere motion of atoms and electrons. In
our example of Fig. 8-5, this type of noise shows up as a
"roughness" in the received signal.
The key point is that the signal we receive on the ground is
a poor quality replica of the signal transmitted by the satellite.
It is distorted, missing sections, and contaminated with random
noise and interference. The question is, what do we do about
The Inner Light Theory of Consciousness
it? How can we change the received signal to more resemble
the original?
Figure 8-6a shows our first approach to this problem, what
engineers call filtering. There are many different ways to carry
this out, and we will only give a general description leaving out
the technical details. The basic idea is to pass the signal
through an electronic circuit or computer routine that changes
the signal's characteristics in some desirable way. For instance,
if we know that the signal being transmitted from the satellite is
relatively smooth, our filter might remove the roughness in the
received signal, as illustrated in this figure. If you don't have
a background in electronics, think of this as performing the
same function as the suspension on an automobile, providing a
smooth ride even over a bumpy road. Filters are very common
in electronic circuits, and can be very simple to extremely
complex. But even the most advanced filters have limitations
on how well they can work with highly degraded data. As in
this example, when interference and random noise dominate the
received signal, the output of the filter still looks like
interference and random noise.
Now we want to turn our attention to an alternative
technique, called the phase lock loop. This is far less common
in electronics, being used in only a few specialty applications.
Just as before, we will only give a general description that
leaves out the technical details. As shown in Fig. 8-6b, the
phase lock loop is composed of two parts, a comparing circuit
and a sine wave generator. The sine wave generator does just
that; it produces a pure sine wave, without distortion,
interference or noise. The function of the comparing circuit is
to continually compare this created signal with the signal
received from the satellite. If a difference is found between the
two, the comparing circuit generates a "correction signal" that
is fed into the sine wave generator. This, in turn, causes the sine
wave generator to alter its output in an appropriate way to make
a better match. The overall effect is that the phase lock loop
generates a perfect sine wave that is the best possible match
Chapter 8: The Function of the Subreality Machine 129
Filtering and PLL operation. As illustrated in (a), filtering
attempts to "clean up" a contaminated signal. In comparison, (b)
shows how a phase lock loop generates an entirely new signal.
to the received signal. Even if the satellite stops transmitting,
the phase lock loop will still produce a pure sine wave output,
its best match to the remaining random noise and interference.
The phase lock loop has one tremendous advantage and one
tremendous disadvantage compared to filtering. The advantage
is that it can operate with extremely high levels of interference
and random noise, while still producing a near ideal output.
Filtering can't come close to matching the phase lock loop in
this respect. The disadvantage is that the phase lock loop only
knows how to detect one very specific thing, a pure sine wave.
The Inner Light Theory of Consciousness
For instance, if the satellite started to transmit a waveform of
some other shape, the phase lock loop would respond in the
same old way, producing a sine wave output. In short, the
phase lock loop works well with degraded data, because it is
only looking for a single thing.
It is a commonplace belief that our minds directly perceive
the physical universe. As an engineer would put it, the objects
around us result in signals being passing into the brain, where
they are somehow perceived by our conscious minds. Various
filtering operations may be applied to these signals by our
neural circuits, but what we end up experiencing still has a one-
to-one correspondence with the external world. However, this
view is simply not true. The brain does not "filter" the signals;
it generates new signals that it believes are the best matches to
the nearby environment. In other words, it operates like a phase
lock loop, not an electronic filter.
As we move about the world in our day-to-day activities,
our brains must continually keep track of what is around us.
The brain is also responsible for identifying other aspects of the
local environment, such as its sounds, smells, and tastes. This
information about the surroundings comes to the brain through
the senses, usually in a highly degraded form.
The brain's task is to extract relevant information from this
jumble of interference and noise, allowing it to plan and execute
movements. To do this, it takes advantage of the fact that
nearly everything it encounters is familiar. Our daily lives are
composed of objects and situations that we have experienced
many times before. This means that the brain does not need to
identify every possible pattern and scenario that could ever
exist. On the contrary, during most of our conscious lives our
brain only needs to recognize those things that it has recognized
in the past. Just as the phase lock loop only looks for a single
waveform, the brain only needs to look for a limited number of
patterns. That is, at least most of the time.
As a demonstration of this, look at the "ambiguous" figures
shown in Fig. 8-7. These are illustrations that can be interpreted
Chapter 8: The Function of the Subreality Machine 131
Ambiguous figures. On the left is "Rubin's vase," named after
Danish psychologist Edgar Rubin who first presented it in 1921.
This figure can be alternately seen as a black vase, or as two white
faces in profile. The illustration on the right is often referred to as
the "Boring figure," after psychologist E.G. Boring who explored
the psychology of it in the 1930s. This figure can be seen as either
a young woman or an old woman. It dates to at least the 1890s,
when the Anchor Buggy company used it in an advertisement with
the caption: "You see my wife, but where is my mother-in-law?"

Slingshot At Sundance
Palestinian Hip Hop made it's big screen debut at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah. DAM, Abeer and Mohammed Al-Farra (of Palestinian Rapperz) flew out to attend the festival and spoke at the end of all six of the sold out screenings. The emcees rocked a number of live shows during the week, energizing the crowd on every occasion. Click here to see some of the photos from the week:
We were also lucky to collaborate with the multi-talented NY based crew, Graffiti Research Lab, throughout the week. They've posted a video recap of Sundance exploits at their site:
Despite our best efforts, three of our featured emcees – Mahmoud Shalabi from Akka, Kan'aan, and Mezo from Gaza – were denied visas by the US embassy in Israel and could not join us at Sundance. They were sorely missed.

Sound Off:
What do you think of the change to the corresponding dates to extend the track and field season?
The KHSAA released its corresponding dates for the upcoming track and field seasons through 2021-2022. The biggest change is the standard date for the state meet being moved to the weekend following Memorial Day weekend each year. There is also a two week window for the regional meets to be contested in order to " alleviate many graduation conflicts with the full realization that in some years, based on weather and other situations, all conflicts cannot be eliminated."
This is a stark difference from the last couple years where the outdoor season has concluded before (or on) Memorial Day weekend.

I've been having a blast testing out the goodies I got in my Cosmetic Executive Women 2014 Product Demo gift bag, and the extra $90 I spent to get to lug this thing home (and the extra $75 to check an extra suitcase on the flight home) was worth every penny. I've already found a handful of new favorites for my lips, my face and my body, but I've been even more impressed with the makeup that's in the running for this year's awards. And although the cosmetics in most gift bags tend to be not-so-wearable (or not-so-popular) shades, but CEW doesn't roll like that, and the newest bronzer in my makeup drawer is Buxom Hot Escapes Bronzer.
I received the "Maldives" shade, and at first glance I thought it would be way too dark for my complexion—but I was wrong. Though deeper than I'd usually choose on my own, I found this glimmering powder goes on light, and you can build the color with a few extra sweeps. But the gorgeous glow isn't even my favorite part. Upon opening the compact, you're greeted with a light, coconut scent that instantly evokes the feeling of a tropical vacation. And this little extra touch is how Buxom got my vote for best Face Product Prestige!

How to Get Ahead in Advertising dir. Bruce Robinson
One of the vampirish Richard E. Grant's early films, this surreal critique of the way advertisers bludgeon the common people is very effective. The advertising demon in Grant takes the form of a talking mole on his neck and is meant to be disgusting just as the crass commercializing and marketing of everything is disgusting. I won't ruin the end, but I will point out that there are some delightful dramatic treats along the way, accompanied by ironic excerpts from Holst's "Jupiter" and Saint-Saens's Symphony No. 3.
On a related note, see Brett Marston on what Habermas would call this the "colonizing of the lifeworld "

Article from the website nationalufocenter.com.
A UFO was spotted enormous size and photographed in Rivoli near Turin and the photographs are very interesting and worthy of note. Here's what the witness told investigators of the UFO Center Mediterranean, which was in charge of the case:
A witness who photographed the sighting said, " The pictures taken with my compact camera on the evening of February 14, 2014 at 21 have captured a luminous phenomenon observed by myself for almost 3 hours at the Rivoli in Turin in the Piedmont region. The images portray one or more luminous objects from where I live, Rivoli (TO), I have observed from 20:15 or so, up to 23 hours, then when the object has disappeared. From where I live, as I said Rivoli, the observation was made in a north-northeast course where the UFO hovered and precisely to the civil airport of Caselle Torinese (referred to below in the various pictures I took are observed runway lights) .

The Encyclopedic Worlds of the Brothers Quay
Seeing "Quay Brothers: On Deciphering the Pharmacist's Prescription for Lip-Reading Puppets" on view at the Museum of Modern Art is like walking into an alternate realm saturated with visceral media and puppeteer-esqu vitrines resplendent with sensational curiosity. The darkened corridors housing the Brothers Quay visual narrative of the hardworking twins tour de force to animation stardom acts out as a psychoanalytic labyrinthine journey, unearthing biographical ephemera and art historical inspiration foundational to the Brothers diverse career. Book jacket design, magazine layouts, illustration, music videos, material animation, costume and theatrical stage design; the Brothers expenditures compass a total-art intervention into media culture for decades. Art world influences are just as expansive, notably including Rudolf Freund illustrations for "Scientific American," Polish radical 1960s graphic poster design and the animation films of Polish director Walerian Borowczyk and Czech animator Jan Švankmajer. These media influences curatorially lead to the pinnacle of the Brothers Quay career: stop-motion films.
Before viewing the films (on view at the end of Part 2 of the exhibition), viewers maze through set-design vitrines arranged with puppet-esqu actors of notable Brothers Quay stop-motion films. Beyond the glass within their respective worlds the piecemeal creations composed out of materials including tattered doll appendages and recycled fabrics became the Quay's starring sentient autorobots in filmic action. No longer working, all props, characters and set decor are retired into the Brothers Quay Dormitorium (on view in Part 1 of the exhibition), becoming artworks in themselves transplanted to preserved infamy in this 21st Century Wunderkammer.
More than 10 movies are on view in Part 1 of the MoMA exhibition, including "The Cabinet of Jan Svankmayer" (1984), "Street of Crocodiles" (1986) and "MASKA" (2010). Replete with sci-fi characterization and film noir intrigue, the Brothers threadbare figurines intermingle in non sequitur vignette plots, calling viewers to decipher the unfolding mysteries. Interesting to note, the Brothers films are visual adaptations of written narratives (for example, "Street of Crocodiles" is adapted from Polish author Bruno Schulz's 1934 novel of the same name). Acting as set designers, directors and screenwriters, the auteurs re-interpret folklores and fairy tales by breathing anthropomorphism into the inanimate child-like ephemera once lost with age but now transposed into surreal curiosity cabinets in-motion ready to be eternally explored.

text: Team - Interviews - VCFRadio Compartir December, 12 2017 Ranieri: "This Valencia CF side is marvellous" Claudio Ranieri touched down in Valencia in 1997, during his first professional adventure away from his native Italy. He saw the club change radically, winning a Copa del Rey trophy in 1999 after beating Atletico Madrid in the final. Years later, he would return to the club once again, where he would win the European Super Cup, but his latest miracle came in the Premier League. Ranieri led Leicester City to an English top-flight title, before moving on to FC Nantes in France more recently. He featured on VCF Radio's "Som Passio" show on Tuesday evening. What was your best moment at Valencia CF? When we won the Copa del Rey in Seville, seeing all of the fans going crazy because we'd won it, the return from Seville to a crazy city was marvellous and it saw me leave my heart in Valencia. All of the city is grateful for your work, do you remember it all? Yes, in my memory and in my heart. I am a very sensitive guy and Valencia has been a wondrous city for me, where I worked well and it will always have my heart. You spent two different periods here, in the second you won the European Super Cup. Were you excited to win a trophy? The team had reached 25 years without silverware, and the city was crazy, it was amazing. When we arrived back on the plane, we saw all of the city out on the streets, what memories they are… You're 66 years old now, are you always going to manage? Until the very last day that I can. Working in football is my life, as long as I love football and I have the strength to motivate the team, I will continue. How did you manage to get those Leicester City players to turn themselves into Premier League champions? All of the world knows that it was incredible, I don't know how to explain it because we all worked at the best we could, they believed in us from the very start. It was a magical year, it was incredible. How was the celebration afterwards? I enjoyed it a lot when we won the cup in Seville, but I didn't know that I'd be able to go up to collect a medal with the team. Nobody told me anything, so I stayed on the pitch watching my players, and when I saw Antic [Atletico's coach] going up for his runners-up medal, although I'd won it I hadn't gone up. Now I've put it all behind me and the celebration in England was amazing. In the offices there is a photo of you. You were celebrating at Mestalla, holding a Senyera flag aloft with your eyes full of tears… I agree, it was hugely emotional for me to see all of the people going crazy about what we'd done. We'd had lots of good results against FC Barcelona, Real Madrid, that cup final… amazing games. The knockout stages were difficult, but in the end you won. The most difficult thing was the first season when the whole team changed, with young players involved. They were very good and I wanted to fight alongside them, whether I would end up leaving or stay, and then I got the okay to continue with my ideas. That team deserved it a lot, and they'd later get into two Champions League finals. Do you know Marcelino? Valencia CF are having a great season. They are, it is a shame that they lost versus Getafe, I was cheering them on from afar. I always keep the teams that I have worked for in my thoughts, I am always looking for their results. What do you think of this Valencia side? I was upset to see them doing so badly last year. Now I am very happy to watch Zaza, who is a player that fights and battles, scoring goals and I am happy that the fans are giving the team the support that a big team deserves. Would you like Zaza for your squad? I like these kind of players a lot, in Italy he is held in high regard, he is a player with character, strength and quality. He is showing that in Spain. I am happy to watch him, when I can I always watch Valencia CF, like the big game where they drew against Barcelona. Does Zaza have the potential to improve further? Of course, I think so, because when he does well he feels loved by the fans, he is liked by the coach and his teammates… he will keep on improving. Furthermore, he's a character, he fights and battles and this is something that he will always have. He is going to improve in terms of quality, and getting more confidence is something really important for a striker. Which players catch your eye in this team? I see a team that is very solid, compact, they attack and defend well, they are doing everything as a team. All of the team are amazing, Marcelino is doing a great job to get them all to fight together, helping one another as teammates. After two difficult years, the team is currently second and the dressing room is taking things game by game. What advice do you have? They have to be calm. They aren't in European competitions and they should be calm, after Fallas we will see what happens. Can they win the league? They can do anything, as we did at Leicester, but now they have to work, enjoy themselves and not think about any big objectives. Marcelino doesn't talk about targets either... When I arrived at Leicester, the previous season they'd stayed up on the final day. The objective was to reach 40 points, and at Christmas we'd already done that. After, we aimed for European qualification, and when we did that, we looked for the Champions League places. After that we thought, okay, we will try to win the Premier League. We always did it slowly, calmly, knowing the big teams are always there and that anything can happen. Neto is having a great season, too... Everyone knows him, he is a good goalkeeper. If he wasn't, he wouldn't have gone to Juventus and played with Gianluigi Buffon. You knew Geoffrey Kondogbia at AS Monaco… Yes, I am very happy for him because it didn't go well for him in Italy. I am very happy for him, he is very shy, he doesn't speak much, but he is very serious, a great professional and a hard worker. Copyright 2013-2018 Valencia Club De Fútbol.

Hi, I have included the e-mail discussion on using shellscript and sshexec. shellscript can be received from CVS head of ant-contrib project on sourceforge. http://sourceforge.net/projects/ant-contrib/ sshexec can be received from CVS head of ant.

Early Learning Centre HQ closes
Some 100 jobs are expected to be lost and facilities will be transferred to Mothercare's head offices in Watford in the New Year.
ELC's London office has already been closed and store mergers are likely to take place throughout the UK.
The Brunswick Group, which represents Mothercare said: "The Swindon office will remain as part of the group's operation albeit in a smaller format. Everyone affected by the restructuring was offered an equivalent role at Mothercare's headquarters in Watford."
Mothercare acquired ELC in May for £85m but lost £2.9m in the first 16 weeks of its ownership, on top of a £4.4 million charge for restructuring the business.
A general integration of the Early Learning Centre is proceeding to plan, with 50 Mothercare stores scheduled to carry ELC products through the Christmas period.

This Post deviates from the usual. For the last few weeks I've been convicted of late that you don't see change in your life unless you actually change the way you're doing things. Sounds like common sense, but why then do I keep doing the same old things and hoping that one day everything I've ever wanted will just start happening?
Various sermons I've listened to have impressed on me the need to learn a language different to that of this earth, a heavenly language I suppose, a language that comes from the spirit. After dwelling on this I was sitting in the car and turned a CD on (which I knew was Joyce Meyer)…the first words I hear "The written word of God…", it turns out my CD player had been on Random so it wasn't the chapter I was up to, but oh so relevant. Basically, I need to read the bible more – a lot more!
So I sat on this and nodded my head wisely, yes, yes I do need to read that bible more. But I didn't read it more, for a whole week after this revelation, and by the end I didn't beat myself over the head with guilt but I asked, "why?" I realised that within me there is a deep desire to create and inspire. I feel like I have such a deep resource within me that is not being used but I don't know where or how to start…or what to start with. The thought of reading the bible, or pursuing God seemed counterintuitive to me (at a deep what I really thought level…not my rational brain level). I so desperately wanted to pursue my creative interests that pausing to read the bible and spend time praying and meditating was about number 5 on the priority list. Problem is, I wasn't even beginning with number 1 on my priority list properly.
What I've realised, is that, if God isn't priority 1, those other dreams and interests may never flourish or take off (at least not in a truly satisfying and life-fulfilling way that I'm after). So I turned my mind to God and said okay, if I put my time and resources into you, then I also have to put my trust in you that I'll be happy and fulfilled. Essentially handing over my destiny to God…he does after all know me better than I know myself.
This morning I opened that bible and read the parable of the sower, Mark 4:1-8. I realised there was something in that for me.
The Parable of the Sower (Mark 4 ESV)
4 Again he began to teach beside the sea. And a very large crowd gathered about him, so that he got into a boat and sat in it on the sea, and the whole crowd was beside the sea on the land. 2 And he was teaching them many things in parables, and in his teaching he said to them:3 "Listen! Behold, a sower went out to sow. 4 And as he sowed, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it. 5 Other seed fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil, and immediately it sprang up, since it had no depth of soil. 6 And when the sun rose, it was scorched, and since it had no root, it withered away. 7 Other seed fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no grain. 8 And other seeds fell into good soil and produced grain, growing up and increasing and yielding thirtyfold and sixtyfold and a hundredfold." 9 And he said, "He who has ears to hear, let him hear."
For years I've read this and thought to myself, clearly I'm the good soil, because I understand what this means and I'm a Christian. I would even say a silent prayer "God, grow the seeds roots deep in my soil", or something like that. I didn't want to be the one with rocky soil, or have thorns choking God's words…or worse… be the path! But I never considered it much further than just hoping I was the good soil and maybe hoping would be enough to be good soil. Today what I realised, my life has had thorns.
18 And others are the ones sown among thorns. They are those who hear the word, 19 but the cares of the world and the deceitfulness of riches and the desires for other things enter in and choke the word, and it proves unfruitful. 20 But those that were sown on the good soil are the ones who hear the word and accept it and bear fruit, thirtyfold and sixtyfold and a hundredfold."
The thorns in my life are definitely cares and worries, and a desire for other things. That is why my life has been unfruitful (not in everything, but certainly not thirty, sixty, a hundredfold). Once again I find myself having to learn how to put my trust and faith in God's goodness.
"But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you." (Matthew 6:33 ESV)
It's time to do some gardening.

Cembrit Plank - fibre cement weatherboard
Cembrit Plank, is an autoclaved fibre cement weatherboard. Used on new or refurbishment projects where a long-lasting, weatherproof façade is required. Installed in the same way as timber weatherboarding, your design will look like genuine timber but with a much longer lasting working life.

- twang: second slam
(2000, cd, usa, muddy river records mrcd0235)
Twang is an electric string band (with drums) from the Boston/Worcester megalopolis. We've been playing out together since January 1999 in bars and restaurants, although three of us have been together since our 1980's old time string band 'The Chicken Chokers'.
We play original songs - written by Paul Strother, Bob Jordan, Taylor Smith, and James Reidy. We cover 1950's-60's country hits, Michael Hurley, Holy Modal Rounders, mento, jug rock, rags, skiffle, Hawaiian, guitar instrumental, and some of the old time fiddle & banjo tunes.
Bob Jordan plays hollow electric guitar (Harmony Rocket) and baritone guitar. Jim Reidy plays National tenor guitar and banjo. Paul Strother plays telecaster. Robbie Phillips plays a one string bass he made called a 'Wombat'. Emily Jackson plays the knockout cocktail drum set. On the CD Taylor "Chip" Smith plays pedal steel and fiddle and Mickey Bones plays various drums, tubs, chairs, grates, refrigerator drawers and, of course, bones.
The "Second Slam" album includes a track called 'Willie & Sadie' and it's a mix of Frank Zappa's 'Willie The Pimp' with some traditional music, with original contributions from PK Strother.
Yep, it's with a twang...
Give it a listen hete:

Iran's nuclear negotiating team departed to Vienna on Wednesday for the next round of negotiations between Iran and the P5+1 group to be held in Vienna on 22-24 April.
The Iranian negotiators are to discuss the Joint Plan of Action during the 70-day deadline.
On April 2, Iran and the P5+1 group of world powers issued a joint statement after marathon talks in the Swiss city of Lausanne calling, among other things, for the removal of UNSC sanctions against the Islamic Republic.
The statement was read out in a joint press conference in the Swiss city by the EU high representative, Federica Mogherini, and Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif.
Iran's senior negotiator Abbas Araqchi and EU Foreign Policy Deputy Chief Helga Schmidt will start the negotiations.

As you have the commentator lead you in reading English (answering the questions) there are several things you should pay attention to. First, revive the corpses of words you learned from word books in real English sentences. If you understand the structure "de=emphasis+press (crush)= depress (crush the heart=depress), you will be able to infer what the sentence is saying even if you only learned the meaning of the word. If you are confident of your Japanese language ability, it's not bad to work out the meaning of the sentence from the first dictioinacry meaning of the word (although this is hard to do if a word has several meanings). The most important thing is to be sure that you think about what part of speech a word is. In other words, think about the role the word plays in the sentence. English words perform at a high level because one word can be a noun or a verb or some other part of speech. If you don't understand this, English will seem to you like some kind of code. So don't cut the corner of thinking about what part of speech a word is. Not to quote Hideo Kobayashi, but make up your mind to "think and not stop thinking."

Second Motorcycle Fatality This Week #GVCopBeat
Just before 6:00pm this evening, officers with the Grand Junction Police Department were dispatched to the area of S. 14th Street and Ute Avenue on a report of a vehicle versus motorcycle crash. The adult male motorcycle driver, who was wearing a helmet, was reported to have serious injuries. He was transported to the hospital by medical personnel, but ultimately died from injuries sustained in the crash. The adult female driver of the SUV was not injured.
Initial investigation, which is subject to change as additional details unfold, indicates that the SUV was crossing Ute Avenue southbound when the motorcycle, which was traveling westbound on Ute Avenue, collided with the rear driver's side of the SUV. The investigation into the circumstances of the crash is very active and ongoing. No arrests or citations have been issued.
Officers are now clear of the accident scene and traffic is open in all directions.

I'm in love with Pandora, we've been over this already . When I pull up the Bieber Radio, they kill it…even throwing in gems from the Pocahontas sound track (well, played). But today you messed up in a major way. When I say Lupe Fiasco Radio, I want something that my Mom would be disappointed in me listening to. Something that does not speak to my age or maturity level. Something that makes me, how do I put this; unemployable. But instead, this is what I got:
Beatles? Let it be? Really?
Time to start acting like a professional, Pandora. You can't be out there, resting on your laurels, reading your press clippings, thinking that some young buck isn't out there training, putting you in the cross hairs. When you're out there drinking, celebrating your market share, Last.fm is inking deals with Microsoft, taking food off your table. Consider t his a warning; a shot across your proverbial bow.

Why authentic Hatch Chile from New Mexico stands above the rest
Chile aficionados—also known as "Chile Heads"—swear by the unique flavor profile of authentic Hatch Chiles from New Mexico. No other green chiles can compare. But what makes the Hatch Chile so special?
It's the terroir, as the French call it.
The word is mostly used to describe the unique taste and flavors in wine, as the geography, geology, and climate of where grapes are grown affect the grapes themselves. The terroir of the Mesilla Valley surrounding the town of Hatch, New Mexico, at an elevation of 4,000 feet, gives the chiles their famous zest and heat, brought out through roasting.
Much as Champagne can only come from the town of Champagne, France, and Bourbon can only come from Kentucky, Hatch Chiles can only come from the Mesilla Valley in New Mexico. A new law now requires that any New Mexico variety of chile, such as Hatch or the actual variety that is called "New Mexico," which is not grown in the state, must be labeled "Not Grown in New Mexico."
Indeed, green chiles are out there parading as authentic Hatch Chiles even though they are grown elsewhere. But dedicated Chile Heads and foodies seek out true, authentic New Mexican chiles and will not settle for products not grown in the state. After all, it's the terroir of New Mexico, Hatch or otherwise, that makes them special.
Frieda's is proud to be one of the keepers of Hatch Chiles' authenticity, and we are excited to see returning Chile Heads and new fans at our roasting events every August. Click here for dates and locations.

We summarise some of the safety research into the human factors that contribute to accident, incidents and unsafe work behaviours.
The Mullen (2004) research found that the following organisational factors and individual attitudes did influence the occurrence of unsafe work practices and work accidents.
Wallace & Vodanovich (2003) study finding that both Conscientiousness and cognitive failure affected the prevalence of both unsafe work behaviours and workplace accidents.
High Performance Work Systems (HPWS) are human resource management practices that together assist in the recruitment, selection, development, motivation and retention of employees.
For years research has linked HPWS practices to economic performance of an organisation however, Zacharatos & Barling (2005) found that these practices also improved workplace safety.
They also proved that the 10 High performance work practices they studied composed a single underlying construct – a high performance work system.
Vrenenburgh (2002) studied 6 common management practices in safety programmes that were used to reduce injury rates. These practices were:
Vrenenburgh surveyed risk managers from 62 hospitals about the prevalence of these practices in the workplace and studied their relationship with injury rates.
He also categorised the practices into proactive practices (those used to prevent injuries in the first place) and reactive practices (those used to fix problems once they occurred).
His study found most hospitals had reactive practices, however proactive practices reliably predicted injury rates and in particular it was found that the proactive hiring practices could reduce injury rates.
If the organisation selected employees with good safety records and trained them appropriately then the result was lower injury rates.
The conclusion was therefore the most effective step to assist in reducing injury rates was to invest in the front-end hiring and training of new personnel.
Guadalupe (2003) studied the link between workplace accidents and fixed term contracts and found that the accident probabilities increase by 5 percentage points for those on fixed term contracts.
She found that the main reasons for this difference were that people on fixed term contracts tend to have less spent on them in terms of training and other HR initiatives.
In addition, due to the uncertain nature of fixed term work also can cause workers to increase their effort to ensure they are re-hired, however this increased effort to work faster can then increase workplace accidents.
A study by Sutherland & Copper (1991) in offshore oil and gas employees found that personality did impact upon the incident of accident involvement and suggested the use of personality assessment in selection to reduce this impact.
Clarke (2006) did a meta analysis of the safety literature around safety climate/culture perceptions and attitudes, and personality traits and their relationship to accident involvement.
Clarke & Robertson's meta-analysis (2005) found low conscientiousness and low agreeableness being associated with greater accident involvement in work studies.
They also found extraversion has no significant association with work accidents but it does seem to be a valid and generalizable predictor of traffic accidents.
Reynolds & Schiffbauer (2004) found that those people with low impulse control often discounted the possible negative consequences (e.g. injury) as being an unlikely or an uncertain outcome of acting on an impulse.
The consequences are discounted or disregard as such consequences are typically uncertain and delayed in nature. They also found some evidence "that certain environmental conditions, such as those that lead to stress or sleep deprivation, may increase discounting".
Braithwaite & Grabosky (1995) found that serious violations of rules were either the cause, contributed to the cause, or exacerbated the effect of 33 out of 39 multiple-fatality coalmine disasters, in the US, UK and Australia. The willingness of employees to follow the rules rather than rebel against them is critical in intrinsically dangerous jobs.
A study by Paul & Maiti (2007) investigated the how human behavioural factors contributed to work injuries in coalmines. They found people who described themselves as less emotionally stable, more dissatisfied with the job and more risk taking (from a self assessment) were significantly more likely to have work injuries in the mine studied.
