Known for his work in the music scene of Naarm (Melbourne), Neil Morris—known under his moniker of DRMNGNOW—creates the music that calls to him. A Yorta Yorta artist who often performs on Kulin land, Neil's artistry ties together multiple genres and disciplines to form soundscapes that fuse his deep appreciation for the land and his peoples alongside genres of poetry, hip-hop, ambiance, soul and spoken-word.
Experimental and dynamic, Neil's latest singles 'Indigenous Land' and 'Australia Does Not Exist' are more than personal journeys; highlighting the truths many Indigenous peoples experience and stand for. Ahead of his appearance at Collarts' NAIDOC Week workshops, we spoke with Neil about music as healing, 'Indigenous Land' and the joys of the creative process.
Hey Neil, thanks for chatting with me. Known mainly under your artist name DRMNGNOW, you've always been proud of your heritage. Has music always been empowering or cathartic to you?
I feel incredibly blessed to have ties to this sacred land. As a Yorta Yorta person with the history of my people, just standing is an honour—to be a continuation of the beautiful lines of people they have been for thousands of years.
Since the very first day I ever began engaging with music practice as an art, I have definitely found it to have a mesmerising cathartic power that is beyond compare, in that it's most definitely been empowering. To engage in music practice as an Indigenous person on this land is automatically to engage in what has been a sacred aspect of living in these lands for thousands of years. We re-evoke all of that history every time we play music on these lands as First Nations.
"I believe strongly in choosing what feels like the right thing that one is being called to do at a period in time. This is what my ancestors offer me."
Totally. Blending together multiple genres and disciplines along with your language Yorta Yorta, your music is a truly personal experience. Have you always been confident about sharing your experiences as an Indigenous artist or is speaking your truth something you've had to work on?
For me, words haven't always been a medium I've seen as being a pinnacle in the musical art form. And still, even though recently having explored use of word in quite a direct manner about certain issues on this land, my inclination is to first create sound. So for me, it's been more a case of not feeling like it; where perhaps the right time to be expressive through the use of words. Recently, something came to me to feel that now was a time in my journey to be more expressive with words, being in the format of hip-hop and rap structure. I believe strongly in choosing what feels like the right thing that one is being called to do at a period in time. This is what my ancestors offer me. These prods to explore and express for whatever reason at whatever particular time. I feel that it's very much beyond my control on a very deep level.
"People have been living on a land due to the bloodshed and forced removal of Indigenous peoples. The intensity of that is lost on people... perhaps some anthemic repetitious music can play a role getting people thinking on this, whose radar it doesn't currently register on."
I understand what you're saying. Your recent single 'Indigenous Land' reflects on these feelings, looking at colonialism and the sacred indigenous systems that have been disturbed. What's one thing you're hoping non-Indigenous people will take away from the single, and what actions would you encourage they take?
With 'Indigenous Land', the track seemed to be written almost in autopilot, as though it was already inside of me bursting to be released onto the surface. When I created the track, initially it was simply going with what felt like was a track that upon its own volition just wanted to be made. So my expectations were not conscious for any particular outcome. That said now that it is out there, if it makes people stop for a minute and think and feel a truth to the words then that is a beautiful thing.
People have been living on a land due to the bloodshed and forced removal of Indigenous peoples. The intensity of that is lost on people, so if there's a piece of art out there that can remind people of that, I feel that's quite important. The original injustices of colonisation have still not been faced front-on at all. Perhaps some anthemic repetitious music can play a role getting people thinking on this, whose radar it doesn't currently register on. Above and beyond, if there was one hope when I released the track, it was that Indigenous people—not only here but —might feel empowered and uplifted by it.
"I believe young and emerging artists—or ultimately all artists—should focus more on the joys that the creative process offers... we are not obliged to be a branded product that remains in a dormant stagnant state."
Of course, music is powerful like that. In fact, you don't let genres or expectations define your work. What advice would you give young Indigenous and/or artists of colour who are struggling to make music that "defines" who they are?
I believe young and emerging artists—or ultimately all artists—should focus more on the joys that the creative process offers them and to follow their creative instincts and joys. First and foremost, we have to enjoy the music we are creating. We need to love what we create. And on any given day that could be different. We are not obliged to be a branded product that remains in a dormant stagnant state. Music was never gifted to us for those types of reasons.
"Our voices have been silenced and underrepresented far too long. The resurgence in musical voice of our people is amazing."
Reflecting on your music, you often collaborate and support artists in the Naarm (Melbourne) music scene. What artists are you currently listening to and being inspired by?
I'm blessed to be surrounded by a lot of amazing music makers in Naarm, both First Nations mob and otherwise. In terms of current inspirations, I've been listening to a lot of lo-fi music generally, with focus on texture-laden layered beauty. I'm digging so many emerging Indigenous artists specifically as music makers in this country. Our voices have been silenced and underrepresented far too long. The resurgence in musical voice of our people is amazing.
I have a show with a sister Rebecca Hatch in Eora Land on July 10th. She is gifted and is bringing a really fresh vibe into the sound of Indigenous music out here that is mature beyond her years. I'm inspired by a brother Janarli from a group called Indigenoise. A poet and spiritual warrior, he embodies the spirit of our peoples and ancestors in a special way. Mojo Juju too; I'm excited for her new work, it will be something really special. A poet Laniyuk is also an amazing emerging artist, the power of this Larrikia woman is something to behold. And my most listened to Naarm-based artist this year would be easily Willow Beats. Narayan and Kalyani are both incredible talents with worlds of inspiration to continue to bring to us all in the future.
Keep up to date with DRMNGNOW (Neil Morris) on Facebook here. Collarts recognises that our student-only NAIDOC Week event will be held on stolen land. We wish to acknowledge the custodians of this land, the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation and their Elders past and present. Sovereignty never ceded.

Does Exercising Age You?
When you first consider the question, "Does exercise age you?" the chances are that you respond with a resounding, "No! Exercise keeps our bodies healthy." At the Kole Plastic Surgery Center, we have heard many tales that have been passed down through the generations about how exercising will make a person look older. One of our favorites is the belief that any high impact sport, such as running, will cause wrinkles and sagging because the skin and fat bounces over prolonged periods of time. While this is obviously a falsehood, believe it or not, some aspects of exercising can add years to your appearance.
The Aging Process
Everyone gets older, but not everyone ages the same. Heredity is definitely the most significant contributing factor for how you will age. But you cannot control heredity. Two factors that also cause aging are sun exposure and smoking, both of which you can control. Sun exposure ages your skin by thinning the dermis, destroying collagen and reducing the elasticity. When combined with the drying effects of wind and cold, being outdoors will certainly add years if you do not protect your skin. For various reasons, few athletes use sunscreen when they are outdoors, so they expose their skin to far more sun exposure, and therefore tend to look older than non-athletes or people who exercise indoors.
Interestingly enough, studies have shown that if you have a little more body fat when you are older, you can soften the effects of reduced skin quality. In a sense, the fat "fills in" the lines and wrinkles naturally. So if you exercise and reduce your Body Mass Index, or BMI, when you are older, this kind of body contouring could actually add more years to your appearance than if your BMI were higher. Having a lower BMI means that you probably have less fat on your face, specifically in the eye and cheek areas. Losing fat in these areas creates a hollow, sunken appearance that adds years to your appearance.
Keep Your Body and Face Looking Young
Exercise is important to stay healthy and have a young, vibrant appearance, so we encourage our patients to continue with their exercise routines. The best way to keep your face looking youthful is to wear sunscreen whenever you are outdoors. You should use a sunscreen that will not wash off while swimming or from sweating. Choose a sunscreen that is at least SPF 30 to protect against UVA and UVB rays from the sun.
Contrary to popular belief, having some amount of fat on your body is healthy. You need fat to protect your organs and provide a source of energy in some situations. Have your physician check your BMI regularly to ensure that you are maintaining a healthy level of fat on your body.
If you have lost fat volume in your face, the Kole Plastic Surgery Center offers minimally-invasive treatments that enhance your cheek area and soften lines and wrinkles. You can learn more about these treatments by scheduling a consultation at our office.

Maybe we often complain because our prayers have not been answered, while we have prayed fervently every day even with miracle healing prayers. Apparently several reasons make our prayers not answered.
Our sincerity is not guaranteed that our prayers will be answered by God. We often hear people say: "The important thing is that we really pray, God will answer our prayers." Even though sincerity must be possessed by every child of God who wants to pray, that is not the only reason God answers and does not answer prayers we.
The Bible very explicitly or clearly tells us why some of our prayers are not, or have not been answered by God? What makes God not and does not answer our prayers?
1. Sin. Isa 59: 1-2 "Behold, the hand of the LORD is not long enough to save, and his hearing is not sharp enough to hear; (2) but what separates you and your God is all your wickedness, and what makes Him hide from you, so that He does not hear, is all your sins ".
2. In his heart there is evil intentions. Psalm 66:18 "If there were evil intentions in my heart, surely God would not listen".
3. People whose hearts are confused and ambivalent. James 1: 6 He should ask for it in faith, and do not waver at all, for he who is uncertain is like the waves of the sea, who are tossed about by the wind.
4. The goal is to satisfy lust. James 4: 3 Or you pray too, but you do not receive anything, because you pray wrongly, because you are asking for what you want to spend to satisfy your desires.
5. The husband and wife relationship is not good. 1 Peter 3: 7 Likewise you, O husbands, live wisely with your wife, a weaker people! Honor them as friends heirs of grace, that is life, so that your prayers are not hindered.
6. Not forgive. Mark 11:25 And if you stand up to pray, forgive first if there is anything in your heart for someone, so that also your Father in heaven forgives your mistakes. "
7. Do not want to help people who need help. Proverbs 21:13 – "He who closes his ears to the cry of the weak, will not receive an answer, if he himself cries out".

SCA Announces Chaplaincy Training
Somebody Cares responds to be a tangible expression of God's love to those affected by disasters. In addition to rushing immediate relief supplies to affected communities and continuing to provide tangible aid as the recovery and rebuilding process are underway, SCA also recognizes the profound need disaster survivors have for emotional and spiritual support. It is crucial for disaster responders to not only come with essential supplies, but to do so clothed in compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience, as the scripture says.
As disasters increase and availability from our valued partners, like Victim Relief Ministries, is stretched thin, Somebody Cares has sensed it is time to expand our chaplaincy partnerships to increase availability of chaplains responding to disasters alongside the SCA relief and recovery efforts by offering chaplaincy training led by Dr. Edward Smith, our new International Director of Chaplaincy.
In addition to serving with SCA, Dr. Smith is currently a law enforcement chaplain for the Dallas County PD which serves seven community colleges in Dallas and oversees the chaplain corps for all seven campuses. He also serves as chaplain for the Dallas County DA Investigator Division and just won recognition as Volunteer of the Year in 2017. Dr. Smith is a trained disaster response chaplain and led Victim Relief Ministries as President, during which time he partnered directly with Somebody Cares on disaster deployments in Haiti, Japan, and across the US. Dr. Smith is also an adjunct professor at Cedar Valley College in Dallas and teaches at the Law Enforcement Management Institute of Texas (LEMIT) through Sam Houston State to Chief of Police and Command staff levels. In addition, Dr. Smith serves at Primus University of Theology (PUT) as VP on the board and VP of Academics and Dean of the Chaplaincy Institute.
In his role with Somebody Cares, Dr. Smith will oversee the training and deployment of the SCA Chaplain Corp, as well as participate in Somebody Cares Hope and Healing services in communities that suffer from natural disasters and mass casualty events.
Note: Our first training, originally scheduled for September 2018 in Houston, has been postponed due to a conflict in scheduling. A new date and details will be announced soon!

Mother's day is a day many people celebrate. It's a day where you want to be celebrated, but you also don't want to feel selfish. You want to take care of the kids and the house, but you also really want to sleep in and hire help for the day.
For some, Mother's day is difficult because of loss, or want, or other circumstances.
For you, Mother's day might be one of those days that falls into your officer's long weekend….Every….Year. But, you might be one of the lucky LEOWs that doesn't have to worry because your officer doesn't work weekends or has a pretty regular schedule. For many police wives, this day falls under that married, but single life I wrote about here.
My Story
So, on this Mother's day, I'll share my story so you know you're not alone.
D has decided that now is the time to give up napping for the rest of his toddler life. So, bedtime has been earlier than normal and the mornings have been rough. This morning he woke up upset and over tired, so he decided the best way to start his day would be by pounding the wall next to his bed and kicking the slats on the side of his bed. Upon the noise waking me, I realized that I was slightly cold. I feared the worst and was right.
J and I co-sleep because, well, Mr. Troop works nights and breastfeeding is way easier this way when it's just you and two kiddos. So, if you guessed that I woke up in a massive puddle of pee, you're right.
My Mother's day began with a toddler tantrum and a bed full of pee! It also started at 6am because my kids love me so much they decided not to sleep in.
On top of it, it's day 3 of Mr. Troop's long weekend which means he didn't get home until almost 7am and he needs to sleep because he has to go back in tonight.
What do I want?
I want to be selfish. I want to crawl back into bed and take the day off. I want to be pampered and taken care of instead of the other way around. There are many other days I want to do this as well, but today is definitely the day I want off.
But, I'm a mom and a police wife, so I know that holidays are celebrated when they're celebrated.
What did I get?
So, I dragged a heaping basket of laundry down the hallway and started the first of many loads. Then, I dragged a futon mattress up from the basement and into the living room where the three of us snuggled in and watched "The Grinch". D had one more meltdown and a time out. Then, we shared a muffin and agreed to start over again. All before 10am!
I was just coming to terms with how my day was going to go vs how I was hoping it would when, to my surprise, Mr. Troop came downstairs.
A few minutes later, my parents came over and Mr. Troop started making one of my all time favorite breakfast foods: French toast stuffed with strawberries and cream cheese.
What did I learn?
Mother's day isn't about having a day off, or being pampered, or getting gifts. It's about spending the day with the ones you love and showing them how well you love them. And, Mr. Troop was definitely speaking my love language this morning. He knows I haven't been feeling well, that I've been stressed out at work, and that I won't ask for a break even when I need one. So, he sacrificed his sleep to help me out today.
And, I loved it. He can't do this every day, and I know that it's killing him to only have a couple of hours of sleep before another 12 hour shift tonight. But, I so appreciate his effort.
I also know that I would have been fine with him sleeping in and having a dinner before he went to work just like any other day.
What do I know?
I know that as the wife of an officer, you have to get used to doing a lot on your own and celebrating holidays whenever and however you can.
Sometimes, you want to be selfish and you wish things were different. Sometimes, you don't want to ask for help because you don't want to feel selfish. And, sometimes, you get mad at your officer for being "selfish" and needing sleep instead of helping.
But, it seems that things always seem to fall into place. And, when you've prepared yourself for Mother's day to be another day of you doing everything you do in a normal day, you might just be surprised at what your officer has up their sleeve.
Lastly, if you feel like you've been forgotten on Mother's day because your officer is working, remember that they will celebrate you when and how they can. It's all about compromise. Unless they really did forget. (Then, you can tear them a new one!)

On the 13th of March, IUG and the Arabic Centre hosted an international symposium on 'Opportunities and Challenges of Teaching Arabic as a Foreign Language'.
Participants included our colleagues at the Arabic Centre, staff and students from IUG, our research team at the University of Glasgow and two keynote speakers: Dr. Hasan Kordi from the Islamic University of the Maldives, and Mr. Murshed David from South Africa. The symposium allowed us to exchange knowledge and good practices about teaching Arabic online and about the presence of Arabic within different education systems and in different countries.
Below you can see symposium's participants from Palestine, the Republic of the Maldives and South Africa as they looked from Scotland!
The UK team illustrated the 2017 report by the British Council called Languages for the Future. The report used a series of indicators to research which modern foreign languages the UK needs for future prosperity and to become a truly global nation. And guess what? Arabic is among the five top languages!
The British Council report considers economic factors, and also non-market related factors, such as the languages most used on the Internet, the languages needed for diplomatic purposes, and languages used for tourism. The report concludes that it is imperative for the UK to find strategies to address its 'language deficit': only 1/3 of the UK population (this includes UK residents whose native tongue is not English) can hold a basic conversation in a language other than English…
When talking to our colleagues and friends during the symposium, however, we stressed that learning Arabic is important not just for economic purposes, for diplomacy or intelligence (although these are – of course – all very valid reasons) but also because it is one of the languages spoken in our communities, and a language through which we can offer 'linguistic hospitality' to refugees and people seeking asylum in the UK.
The day continued with the presentations by team members Mrs Lubna Hajjar and Miss Ola Lubbad who showed us some of the ways in which teachers work at the Arabic Centre, and by Miss Hala Al-Shreim who showed us a video compilation, made by our wonderful Gaza colleagues, in which Arabic Center's students from all over the world introduce themselves. Below are our Gaza team testing the Arabic Center's new website to show it at the symposium (about which we'll write a post soon: keep an eye out!)
It was a truly lovely event!

The House Of Love were the new Weather Prophets. In Dave Cavanagh's biography of Creation Records he describes The Weather Prophets slagging off Guy Chadwick's band as 'too psychedelic'. The House of Love's first album The House Of Love was 1988's indie heavyweight, chock full of great songs and two blistering singles- Christine and Destroy The Heart, all guitar effects and mystery. They signed to Fontana and came back with Never, which the press didn't like, and then this I Don't Know Why I Love You. Recorded with guitarist Terry Bickers but released after he'd been dumped at a motorway service station for unreasonable behaviour- drugs, ego, burning a tenner in the van, punched by the drummer etc etc. This is a great song, played to death on my stereo when it came out. Yes, it has iffy lyrics and lacks some of the 'ethereal' nature of the first album's songs but it's got a great drilling riff. After this it was all downhill, then scuppered by Madchester but briefly they were very good.

Sound Advice is a charitably-minded series from BCF by professional advisors in Baltimore. Do you have advice to share with colleagues? Contact Rosemary Calderalo today.
Eric D. Brotman, CFP®, AEP®, CPWA® is President and Managing Principal of Brotman Financial Group, Inc., an independent firm assisting clients with wealth creation, preservation, and distribution.
In working with several hundred families over the past 24 years as a financial advisor, I have come to appreciate the value of giving – not just gifts to heirs, but also the gifts that include philanthropy and create legacies. So many families believe that they are "not wealthy enough" to make meaningful charitable gifts or to create true legacies for their family members. And yet, I believe there are many kinds of gifts – and many kinds of wealth. The greatest gifts one can leave for their children and grandchildren are legacy and influence, and neither requires significant wealth to accomplish.
The gift of legacy is comprised of the stories, values, and histories that can be shared with every family member.
When a loved one dies, usually a part of their history dies with them – simply because their stories aren't memorialized in writing or on video. What do we really know about our grandparents, great-grandparents, or even earlier relatives? While legacy can be as simple as a family tree and some written history, I believe the most powerful way to create legacy is on video – captured before a loved one dies.
As a part of the financial planning process, our firm talks about multi-generational planning from a financial, but also a non-financial, standpoint. There are lots of ways you can capture your family's story on video, from a simple smartphone video all the way up to a professionally-produced work. My firm, for example, partners with Acknowledge Media, a Baltimore-based company, which specializes in the production and storage of professionally made videos which allow loved ones to tell their stories – about growing up, about their own parents and grandparents, their education, their careers, their families, and their values. These videos are not inexpensive, but the results are priceless. I had Acknowledge Media do videos for each of my parents, but what I wouldn't give also to have them for my grandparents who died decades ago.
The gift of influence involves some form of meaningful, often posthumous, charitable giving and can not only teach your children and grandchildren about money, but can also provide opportunities for their lifetimes. An organization like the Baltimore Community Foundation can provide the resources needed to make a perpetual gift – of real estate, life insurance, or current assets – during your lifetime or once you are deceased.
The "influence" comes from naming your children and/or grandchildren as the responsible parties for making the charitable donations from the funds each year. Not only does your legacy provide the community with needed resources, but through their participation in the charitable giving process, your heirs can learn just how important and powerful charitable giving can be for the community.
No doubt, Hollywood has done us a disservice with their portrayals of will readings in the movies. It isn't the money, or the "stuff" that matters. It's the legacy and the influence that make a difference eternally – for the family and for the communities in which we all live and work.

It's not unusual for Richmond, B.C.-based realtor Jasmine Bharucha to get recognized on the streets of Metro Vancouver, but not from her smiling Re/Max posters. If you're a member of the South Asian community, you will remember her as one of India's reigning pop stars; until she left singing stardom in 1992 to immigrate to Canada for love.
Today a wife, mother, realtor and author, Bharucha has successfully adapted to her new country, and is now using the lessons of her life journey to write a children's book that teaches mindfulness.
Recalling her own youth in India, she says, "There had been an explosion of the West's pop culture. [But] women entertainers were not looked upon highly. As a pop star, I stretched the opportunities for women in India. I toured all over Africa, Europe and Asia."
Bharucha began singing on stage at the age of 16 and was eventually scouted by Warner Brothers in Mumbai. She appeared on MTV Asia in 1990, the first Indian performer to perform on the American-based show. A year later, Warner released her debut CD, Alien Desire, which included the hit single "Alone Now." Bharucha was featured in Rolling Stone magazine, Time magazine and nominated at the Channel V Music Awards in Asia.
"I worked hard," Bharucha says about that time in her life. "There were lots of highs — and lows. Being a pop star sets you up and what goes up, must come down. The downs are bad."
Bharucha had also completed post-secondary studies in interior design and began apprenticing at Talati and Panthaky Architects, a well-known firm in Mumbai. Her life took another turn after meeting her future husband while on holiday. He happened to live in Canada. They married and she immigrated to Vancouver.
Bharucha is philosophical about leaving fame and familiarity behind. "Everything is a wave," she says. But she did face disappointment, as she scrambled to find work in a new country. "I didn't have Canadian experience. My qualifications as a designer weren't recognized here."
Bharucha's first job was at a shopping mall, working at minimum wage. Then she got retail work at the Vancouver airport, a job she enjoyed very much. "I met people from all over the world," she says.
After taking more interior design courses at British Columbia Institute of Technology, Bharucha realized jobs in her field were scarce and only found limited work. "I switched to real estate just as the market in Vancouver exploded," Bharucha says. "I worked hard. I was driven to succeed."
It was also at this time that her first daughter was born. Bharucha later had a son, completing the family. Her children were in school and her real estate career was flourishing when she began to reflect on her life and wondered what else she could offer.
Always curious about life's big questions — such as "why is there poverty?" — from the time she was a child growing up in Mumbai, Bharucha began searching for answers through the study of religion and, later, psychology. Her own faith, Zarathustraism, is a religion with origins in ancient Iran. "It was the religion of Freddie Mercury," (of British rock band Queen fame), she informs me. Bharucha grew up appreciating Indian religions as well, including Hinduism and Buddhism.
"I began to look at ways to combine the powerful spirituality of India with the West's practice in psychology," she says. The result is a children's book entitled: Who Am I: An Interactive Guide to Self-Discovery for Kids and Parents. She offers simple yet powerful ideas aimed at enhancing young people's mental and emotional wellbeing. She also suggests basic breathing and journalling exercises, which adults can benefit from, too.
"Your thoughts are important," Bharucha says. "If you have a feeling of fear and not being good enough, you become separated. When you go in for a job interview, for example, this will be perceived."
Connection — to self and others — is a key concept Bharucha believes in. "Nothing is separated. We are all connected. We are all one," she writes in her book and on the opposite page is a colourful illustration of children and animals encircling the globe.
"We get caught up in separation," Bharucha says, adding that this can lead to depression and feeling like a victim, which welcomes more negativity, including bullying from others. "Depression can be addictive," she observes. "Happiness is the destination."
So, if we are feeling rejected, Bharucha suggests we do some work on ourselves.
As she writes in her book: "It is a great opportunity to connect inside ourselves, and see where we reject ourselves … Journalling from the heart allows the trapped part (of our feelings) to show up." A child can reflect on their feelings, such as anger, sadness or anxiety. "If the wounded parts of us are not healed, we pass them on."
Bharucha calls on parents and teachers to incorporate mindfulness activities into their daily routines. It is a practice supported by many spiritual and educational leaders who believe self-discovery and introspection can positively impact youth. Bharucha points to the Dalai Lama's visit to Vancouver schools in 2014.
Bharucha also recommends newcomers to Canada get involved. Mothers can join a school's parent-teacher group or visit a community centre. Learning the English language is essential, too, Bharucha believes. "Go to a spiritual place," she suggests, "or volunteer your time." She says the airport has "green coat" volunteers who help travellers find their way around the maze of terminals. "Take baby steps. Even if it's two steps forward, and one step back."
Bharucha's book — the first in a series she plans to write on the topic of mindfulness— has received praise from educators, parents and the highly regarded Vancouver medical doctor and author, Gabor Mate. As quoted on the publisher's website, Dr. Mate writes: "Who Am I? connects children with the universe while guiding them on the path most worth travelling for all of us, the mindful journey into ourselves."
Bharucha has been speaking to school groups about her book. She also offers a mentorship program, training teens on the practice of mindfulness, who in turn share their knowledge with elementary school students.
Despite her newfound purpose, Bharucha also still finds time to sing and write songs, sometimes performing for local charities like Cops for Cancer. In fact, she has a new album coming out, with songs reflecting the philosophy found in her children's book. But her new songs and writings have new, inspired messages. "I want people to feel good," Bharucha says, "and to connect."

"Annihilation" is directed by Alex Garland and it stars Natalie Portman, Gina Rodriquez, Tessa Thompson and Oscar Isaac. The movie is based on the book of the same title. The movie is about a group of scientist that enters an area "The Shimmer". It is filled with mysterious plants and animals. The scientist tries to discover and find the source of "The Shimmer" to stop it from spreading. I did not know much about this movie unit a few days before it got released. From the high score of Rotten Tomatoes and people give it high ratings I was really excited for this movie. The movie for me was good but I did not have much fun with it as other people did in the theater. For the pros, the cinematography and the visual effects of the movie were beautiful. It was amazing to see it in the theater as it looked incredibly real. Another pro was the characters of the movie all of them had different motives which was really interesting as most movies of science-friction always have the same motives. For the con, it was the story, this might be the first movie that left me thinking for days as I was to figure it out what was the idea in the movie. Most people that I talked to had different ideas on what the movie was about but it leaves you really confusing.
Overall, with the visual effects and the characters I would go and watch the movie but the story is really tricky to understand.
Rating: 3/5

After a long time, in the third year, the word of the LORD came to Elijah: "Go and present yourself to Ahab, and I will send rain on the land." So Elijah went to present himself to Ahab. Now the famine was severe in Samaria, and Ahab had summoned Obadiah, his palace administrator. (Obadiah was a devout believer in the LORD. While Jezebel was killing off the LORD's prophets, Obadiah had taken a hundred prophets and hidden them in two caves, fifty in each, and had supplied them with food and water.) Ahab had said to Obadiah, "Go through the land to all the springs and valleys. Maybe we can find some grass to keep the horses and mules alive so we will not have to kill any of our animals."
. . . As Obadiah was walking along, Elijah met him. Obadiah recognized him, bowed down to the ground, and said, "Is it really you, my LORD?" . . . If I go and tell Ahab and he doesn't find you, he will kill me. . . . Haven't you heard, my lord, what I did while Jezebel was killing the prophets of the LORD? I hid a hundred of the LORD's prophets in two caves . . . and supplied them with food and water. And now you tell me to go to my master and say, 'Elijah is here.' He will kill me!" Elijah said, "As the LORD almighty lives, whom I serve, I will surely present myself to Ahab today." I Kings 18:1-15
In times of apostasy; in times of godlessness; in times of assault on all that is divine, we wonder if there are any who still would hold tenaciously onto their faith and walk uncompromisingly with God. Obadiah was such a person. Even in the face of grave danger and certain death, his faith in God was so strong that he took a hundred of God's prophets and hid them in caves. Food and water were scarce but he found a way to feed those hundred prophets. The hand of the Lord was definitely with him. He kept a remnant of one hundred prophets for God.
These are times of great unbelief and all kinds of false prophets parading the globe with their own versions of the hallowed Gospel of Jesus. Paul cautioned Timothy that, "the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths." 2 Timothy 4:3-4
This is very evident and rampant in our day and it makes the words of Jesus even more urgent, "Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks." John 4:23
In the midst of godlessness in every generation, God has a hidden remnant that He brings out to accomplish His purposes. May you and I be part of the remnant that God has hidden and reserved in a cave to serve His Kingdom purposes!
Prayer: Father, these are very godless times when the truth of your word is being subverted to serve selfish human ends. May I be part of your hidden remnant who will stand up to worship you in Spirit and truth, no matter the cost. Amen.

5/10 deep turn spot
Posted by teubsch
Posted by teubsch posted in High Stakes
5/10 deep turn spot
BB: $1947.50 (Hero)
Vilian is a decent reg. I have about 8k hands on villain. He 3bets 14% (PP, AT+, connectors). His CB in 3b pots is 51% and he c/r turn 6%. We have been playing for about 3h and I called his turn/river c/r twice and both times he had the goods. He does not tend to play his draws aggressively as a c/r and especially not 200bb deep.
I therefore thought his check on the flop meant that he either has a monster here and is trapping or a hand he does not feel comfortable playing for stacks (AJ, AT, KQ, KK, JJ, etc). Given that I don't want to play my hand for stacks here and flop is dry I decided to check behind and go for 2 streets of value on an innocuous turn. When he checked the turn to me I think he can still have the above range of hands, but is more likely to have the weaker part of it (AJ, AT, KQ, etc) as I would check behind quite a few hands and he would therefore lose value by checking.
The c/r therefore took me a bit by surprise and folding my hand here is obv very exploitative (as he can then take this line with any OESD, FD, etc), but on the other hand I can't really come up with a decent amount of hands that he would take this line with besides 2 pair+.
What would your play be on the turn?

history & founders
CitizenJoe was born over a couple of lattes in Seattle in the Spring of 2003.
The coffee drinkers were Julia Kamin, a public education non-profiter in NYC, who had recently become frustrated over how hard it was to find balanced policy info on the web- and Jason Palmer, also working in education - but for man Microsoft, who wondered why there wasn't that one site you could go to to find dependable facts on policy.
We heard our calling and soon roped in Abner Greene, a law prof who had a knack for making complex policy issues seem non-complex, and Scott Trent, who brought a healthy dose of PR savvy - not to mention Republicanism - to join our founding board.
CitizenJoe.org went live in 2004 - offering up balanced, quickly digestible (for the average busy American) overviews of policy issues while ferreting out the facts.
Spirited Dialogue & Policy on the Rocks
While building up our volunteer writers and readership on line, it dawned on us that we could be trying out some open dialogue in real life too.
Spirited Dialogues and Policy on the Rocks are what followed - and over the past couple of years we've been bringing together New Yorkers for fun, friendly and informative dialogue - in living rooms, roof decks, bars and lounges across the city.

Explaining something to kids can be a hard job. Sometimes they won't listen at all, sometimes they won't understand a word, and sometimes, like in this case – they just won't believe what you're saying.
In this adorable video dad tries to teach his little girl what snow is. Somehow she doesn't believe a word he's saying and her reaction is the most contagious laugh in the world.
I don't know what's so funny about snow, but she's too adorable.

Asian Art Museum celebrates golden anniversary
The year of the agile, energetic and mischievous monkey is in full swing, and red is the color of good fortune. But at the Asian Art Museum's recent 50th celebration, the lucky color was gold for 500 black-tie revelers and civic leaders who toasted this historic occasion at the museum's Golden Gala.
Led by board chairwoman Akiko Yamazaki with co-chairs Helina Au, Bill Kim, Nanci Nishimura and Ken Wilcox and presented by the William K. Bowes Foundation, the elegant affair paid tribute to the museum's history, established from the collection of industrialist Avery Brundage, and its bright future that was secured by a $15 million donation for the museum's Civic Center home from entrepreneur Chong-Moon Lee.
The pan-Asian theme was expressed in dance, music, food and art to encompass the many cultures and countries of Asia represented at the museum.
Yamazaki also convinced her Paris pal, fashion designer Andrew Gn, to create two dresses for the gala's auction. The live auction dress was a one-of-a-kind black-and-white cocktail dress, adorned with embroidered peonies and trimmed with silk tassels, that was based on a Northern Song Dynasty vase from the museum's collection. Winning bidder Elisabeth Pang Fullerton was over the moon with her treasure.
"The Asian Art Museum is the first museum in San Francisco that my family and I ever visited," recalled Gn. "I'm also an art collector. So to create something inspired by a piece from this museum that will also help raise funds for the Asian, is very special."
Cocktails commenced inside the museum followed by a six-course McCall's meal inside a gilded tent set next to the Asian. McCall's also supplied overall gala glamour — staff designer Miguel Torres tricked out that tent with shimmering chandeliers, exquisite brocade and gorgeous florals. And Tatcha founder Vicky Tsai traveled all the way to Kyoto, Japan, to procure lovely lacquer guest gift boxes emblazoned with the museum logo and filled with precious Tatcha elixirs.
Heralding the occasion, museum director Jay Xu reached back to ancient history, recalling wise words from Confucius: "Upon becoming 50 years old, one knows one's mandate from heaven."
"The Asian Art Museum's mandate is to be a global leader for Asian art and culture. And to make Asian art and culture an essential part of the rich fabric of American life," Xu toasted.
"We achieve that mandate by making connections to Asian art's global relevance," he continued. "Connecting the wonders of the past with the cutting-edge creation of contemporary Asian art. And then connecting art to life for people from all walks of life."
More monkey business: A few days later, the San Francisco Symphony also welcomed the Monkey at its 16th Chinese New Year Concert & Imperial Dinner.
The family-friendly fete began with a pre-concert festival inside Davies Hall, where lion dancers, plate spinners, musicians and the passing of lucky red envelopes delighted revelers of all ages.
Guest conductor Mei-Ann Chen presided over an all-Asian music program featuring the Symphony orchestra with soprano Pureum Jo, pipa instrumentalist Wu Man and the Loong Mah Sing See Wui dance ensemble.
And this year, the entire shebang stayed put at Davies Hall as the post-concert, six-course McCall's banquet was set inside the Zellerbach Rehearsal Hall, transformed into a glowing nightclub guarded by two Asian warrior-actors who inspired a spate of selfies.
Event chairwoman Patricia Lee-Hoffman and dinner chairwoman Leigh Wasson introduced a spirited performance by two Bandaloop acrobats who traversed fabric columns with the agility of a new year's monkey.
Lee-Hoffman also paid tribute to longtime supporters Michael and Iris Chan who, along with Genelle Relfe and Margaret Liu Collins, were instrumental in establishing this cultural tradition for the Bay Area's vast and diverse Asian community.
"Behind every lucky co-chair is a talented team," toasted Lee-Hoffman as she sang the praises of Symphony staffers. "And it's been a huge privilege to work with this year's dinner chair, Leigh Wasson, who was born in the Year of the Monkey but has all that charisma without any of the monkey's mischief."
