I'm on Facebook. So is EX:Change. This is all because I have a daughter in her early 20s. She lives across the pond – far away from Oregon. I, of course, want to keep up in all the ways that work for her. Mostly we Skype, but FB, her I-phone, a smattering of e-mail and (very occasionally) the international postal network all come into play.
Given my generation, being on Facebook may feel a novelty to me but it in no way sets me apart. In fact it places me in the global mainstream since one out of every 14 people on the planet has a Facebook account. Go figure. And no wonder Hollywood jumped on the wave with the recent release of the immediately #1 film, Social Network. One ingredient in the recipe for blockbuster ticket sales was what David Carr of the New York Times called the generational split.
Although I won't see the movie until tonight, I have caught wind of the controversy enough to write about it now (besides, I originally wrote this up last week as an op ed for the local paper, but it didn't go). I tend to agree with Jonathan Kim who wrote in his blog, Rethink Reviews, "I think this comes down to how different generations perceive the internet and the visionaries driving its innovation."
Younger media bloggers and the Facebook daddys themselves are being pretty clear that folks of my generation just don't get it. Kim's reasoning is that we've been socialized by conventional news media, what he sees as my generation's information source of choice. Traditional media, he writes, convinced us that internet-based social networking was, "primarily a tool people used to steal your identity, and MySpace (remember that?) was little more than a way for pedophiles and predators to find their next victims." Another blogger, Alexandra Juhasz, similarly attributes the problem to "the failings of normative big-media narrative in a time of digital storytelling."
Both of these are interesting criticisms, but I'm guessing the problem is even more deeply generational than that. Essentially, it's a diversity issue in that the controversy resides in our American habit of retreating into judgment instead of listening to each another across our differences. In this case, the people who were older than 12 or so when the internet went mainstream would be one cultural group; and the people younger than that, especially those born after the internet's dawn, would be another cultural group. Like with so many political, gender, ethnic, religious, etc., etc. groupings this disagreement fits right in with our tendency to categorically dismiss and even despise any designated other side.
You know from this blog and the EX:C site (www.exchange09.com) about my 2009 drive around the country (literally – south then east then north then west) to get a sense of some of these disagreements. As a mid-career social psychologist, and everyday American (no, those two things are not oxymoronic), I wanted to know what regular people across the nation really meant by the then quite popular word, "change." By the time we got through the last presidential election, everyone, across all political persuasions, was talking change. We all wanted it and we probably still do.
I found two main things as I listened. Down the coast of California, in Jackson MS, on Long Island or in Omaha what everyday citizens wanted was way more similar than it was different. This was so even across the most ideologically distant of groups. The second thing was a loud and consistent call for all of us, especially our elected leaders to grow up – to listen and cooperate with one another.
One of the one-hundred people I interviewed is a businessman who experienced some success early in the technology boom. He knows the front end of the internet as one of its early participants. He's also fifty-something. In more recent conversations he recalled the conversation he had some 20 years earlier with an AT&T executive that sheds some light on the generational cultures of technology.
In short, people who are mostly grown when a technology comes on the scene adopt it to do what they've always done, but to do it faster. With the internet that looked like, for example, using e-mail as a substitute for letters, memos, phone calls and meetings – for social point-to-point communications.
Soon, the people who grow up with the technology come on the public scene. They use it differently because it's always been part of their experience. As a result, the technology expands and morphs in ways that don't necessarily make sense to the generations before. In the case of the internet, we got social networking or mesh technology that links people sort of like neurons or cells all permanently connected and communicating with one another at the same time.
My businessman friend says mesh technology is only great for global relations. "If I have some connection with you," he says, "It's harder to say, 'You're not like me and therefore there must be something wrong with you. I'm going to harm you because my way is better.'"
This same friend works a lot with 20 and 30-somethings who are involved in tech start-ups and also sees a functional limit that internet communication seems to be placing on the development of what he calls "belly-to-belly" social skills. This isn't new and it's likely a tiresome concern to the younger crowd. Nonetheless, it may be worth considering, especially if relationships like marriages, friendships, work alliances start going badly.
There's likely valuable stuff to be learned in both generational directions. The point-to-point generation stands to gain big and creative insight through exploring the power in the web of interconnection; technical and biological. And generation-mesh can benefit from some chill consideration of interpersonal problem solving. Many of their elders actually do know some things about the everyday communication of workplaces and such. We're not perfect at it, by any means, but we had to rely on it completely prior to cyber-communication.
I'm going to the movie tonight with my businessman friend. I'll see what my aging worldview and his make of it and report back if there are new insights to be had. We'll see.
Meanwhile, I find myself thinking about Stephen Colbert, the popular night show satirist who is hosting a counter-rally to Jon Stewart's October 30 national "Rally to Restore Sanity." Colbert's is the "Rally to Keep Fear Alive"
It's pretty evident we have the fear, disdain and dismissal thing down in this country. It somehow seems easier. The big question with the social network is whether we can use it alongside old fashioned face-to-face conversation to listen across differences. It may only be our lives that depend on it.

You might well have been exhausted by reading the exploits of Day 2; I woke on Day 3 to find that doing anything was impossible. The illness of December caught up with me again, and so I didn't join our group at the Pool of Bethesda or for walking in the steps of Christ (maybe possibly but not as he would have recognised it) on the Via Dolorosa. Instead I slept. This was one of the best decisions I've made in a while, and I don't regret it. I am grateful to the friend who said "Actually Claire, it was crowded and there was lots of standing and listening and nowhere to sit and it was long. You'd have hated it." There is probably a theological point in that!
I caught up with the group at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. This is the place with the best claim to be on the site of the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ. I was a bit worried, because the rest of the group had done the Stations of the Cross, they'd worked up to this point, whereas I had walked from our hotel, through the Damascus gate, and into the market, where I had bustled and strode and slipped and shoved with the best. I was not in a holy, receptive, spiritual kind of state at all. We were taken into the church and joined the queue to enter the shrine which has been built over the tomb. There were important priests (Orthodox, Coptic, Catholic) wandering about, and many people. I queued, grumpily, sleepily, and wondered whether I'd have done better to stay in bed.
People are allowed into the inner shrine of the tomb four at a time, and a strict custodian raps a stone on a wall after 1 minute to indicate that it is time to leave. The entrance to the shrine is low and you have to really stoop down to get in. Finally it was my turn, and I went and knelt in front of the marble slab which covers the alleged place….
Yesterday I quoted from Little Gidding "You are to kneel here where prayer has been valid". And here I was. In a place which contained the most fervent, most pressing prayers of thousands upon thousands of people, across nearly two millennia. I was pulled straight out of the pushing and shoving of the streets, into confronting the fact that Jesus died and rose for me, and for all humanity. God showed up.
I loved the candles – they were huge and had some very utilitarian lightbulbs in place of wicks. I was expecting to see signs of denominational conflict, but they weren't there.
OWG (Our Wonderful Guide) and LTL (Lovely Tour Leader) both expressed surprise at how quiet the church was. I was very grateful not to see it at it's heaving worst, because I'd never have hung around to enter the tomb shrine….
But there are many many chapels – this one to where Jesus was believed to have been crucified. There was a bit of rock, which probably dated to the right time…. and yet it didn't matter to me, what mattered was the fact of the Cross.
Statues and bling and incense may not be your thing, but I defy anyone to look at the expression here, to consider a mother watching the killing of her son, and to remain unmoved.
We went down into a lower chapel, which was much quieter, and we stood as we heard the reading of the crucifixion, and we sang "When I survey the wondrous cross". Then an unexpected highlight. The altars in the Church are all censed by the three denominations every day, and so a procession of priests came in, waved wonderful smelling thuribles, and left. The heady scent was amazing. We don't do enough worship with all our senses.
The group was tired by now – they had been on the go for five hours, I'd done an hour and a bit, and we were all very thankful for lunch. And smileys! Jerusalem did that. It kicked me with reality, then lumped a spiritual experience at me, then pulled me back into life again, all without so much as a by your leave.
We travelled by coach to Bethany. It should have been a short hop over the Mount of Olives, but a detour round was required… there is a boundary, and there are check points.
When we arrived, having travelled through streets which "looked like India" to a friend, the peace of the garden at Bethany was very welcome. Here was tranquility, and after the hustle of Jerusalem, I was glad. Oranges grew and a fountain trickled. I'm confident it wouldn't have looked like that – rather it has been created to emulate the peace Jesus found here with his friends, Lazarus, Martha and Mary.
I've always loved the story of Martha and Mary. One sister rushes around trying to do everything to ensure excellent hospitality, the other sat enraptured at Jesus' feet. There has to be a time for each.
Here too Jesus wept at … not so much the death of his friend Lazarus, as at the lack of faith of his disciples. OWG said that Jesus had to call Lazarus out of death by name, otherwise everyone else would have resurrected too! LTL had once again found the right reading and detailed a member of the group – so that we heard another story in "about" the right place. I valued the link from scripture to place very much.
There was one more stop before we got back to the hotel. I have no photographs, because it would have felt wrong. But on Friday evening, just after sunset, we got off the coach ("Ready? Let's go!") at the foot of the Dome of the Rock, and we made our way towards the Western Wall of the Temple – still often more recognisable as the Wailing Wall. There were groups and families of Jews, all meeting to celebrate and share prayers at the start of the Shabat or Sabbath. Several of us agreed that we would love church to feel quite so relaxed or joyful. Solemn teenage girls stood reciting their prayers from their books (and checked their watches surreptitiously) and there was a wave of people making their way from the back of the crowd to the foot of the wall and away again – never turning their backs upon the wall. The whole experience felt quite alien, but embracing too. I shan't forget it.

text: A handful of conventional narratives dominate the Western world's view of Indian philosophy: while some commentators cling to the view that India's pristine philosophical heritage has been preserved in Sanskrit texts, others dismiss pre-colonial traditions as 'non-philosophical'. Philosophy, on this latter view, did not arrive in India until the onset of modernity under British colonialism, and whatever philosophical insights earlier traditions may have had, can only be unearthed through analysis from within the dominant Anglophone philosophical tradition. Yet, nothing could be further from the truth — or so argue the authors of 'Minds Without Fear', Nalini Bhushan and Jay Garfield. Epistemology — to mention just one example — was not transported to Indian shores by the ships of the East India Company, but was explored in intellectual communities and movements such as the Navya-Nyaya long before colonialism took hold. And the discomfort with using the English language after colonialism, as expressed by, say, Rabindranath Tagore, does not reflect any incompatibility of Indian thinking with philosophical traditions, but instead reflects the distrust of a colonial mindset that gave rise to Thomas Macaulay's infamous remark 'that a single shelf of a good European library was worth the whole native literature of India and Arabia'. In offering a historical explanation for this discomfort, Bhushan and Garfield place their philosophical protagonists in a broader, political context, while also making a case for the richness and intellectual depth of what they aptly call the 'Indian renaissance'. By deftly combining criticism of established narratives with a positive case for the intellectual value of Indian philosophy, Bhushan and Garfield — argues BRB reviewer Monika Kirloskar-Steinbach — succeed in nudging their readers to seek a truly free knowledge, a knowledge which honestly faces up to its social grounding and which confronts the prejudices that stand in the way of truly globalizing our philosophical thinking.

Hello, I decided to set up a fundraiser to stop the coronavirus pandemic. It is possible that this is a drop in the ocean of needs but it's better than doing nothing. You can send money to this link: #StopCoronavirus or to any other organization trying to stop COVID-19.
Everyone, please take care of yourselves!!!
This chapter is updated by Wuxia.Blog
"It's finally begun?" Luo Yinglong was sitting on his flying sword in mid-air. He gave a silent look towards Zhengs' battlefield, before turning his head toward the southeast. A black speck was fast approaching from afar. With Yinglong's eyesight, he could tell it was the enormous organic weapon… the Eva Unit-01.
"Wangxia. You all have to make sure Zheng's battle isn't interfered with. No matter what happens, you have to ensure it even if you have to risk or gamble your lives. Remember, remember! Otherwise, we won't have a chance to live." Yinglong quickly transmitted a few lines to Wangxia and the rest, before standing up. He raised a single finger, manipulating the flying sword towards the Eva.
The two were incredibly fast, and Yinglong was already a few hundred meters away from the Eva in the blink of an eye. He rubbed his hands together, and sword light densely engulfed the Eva. Although it was immediately blocked by the A.T. Field, the Eva was still forced to a stop. When the azure light was finally dissipated by the A.T. Field, the two sides entered a face-off.
"YOU AGAIN! LUO YINGLONG! What relationship does team China have with you? Are you trying to block me again? Do you really want to die so much?" Gando had eaten Adam's Light of the Soul. It wasn't any ordinary Light of the Soul, but the ultimate product of the Human Instrumentality Project, the ultimate Light of the Soul. It couldn't be denied that Gando's luck was very good. The initial stages of the Human Instrumentality Project had been heavily sabotaged, and became incomplete. When Adam had attempted to absorb the Light of the Soul of the surrounding people to become complete, who would have expected team China had laid down a good scheme and Zero had landed an attack on him. Although he hadn't died, he had ended up at his absolute weakest. With only his Light of the Soul remaining, he had been eaten by the Eva. Adam really had died a wrongful death.
Gando really had benefited. Even feeble, it was still the Light of the Soul of the ultimate lifeform. That ball of Light of the Soul represented an infinite source of energy to the Eva, a copy of God. It allowed the Eva to become invulnerable. It would still regenerate indefinitely as long as a single cell wasn't destroyed.
"I'll really be wanting to die if I didn't stop you…" Yinglong snickered, before continuing seriously, "You and I are chess pieces. Why must we fight until both sides are hurt? Why not we stop and wait for the Zhengs to end their fight? Don't all of you team Devil firmly believe that clone Zheng is peerless? So why not just quietly watch their battle?" There was still this very unlikely thought in Yinglong's mind. He intended to borrow Gando's trust in clone Zheng to delay this battle that would lead to his death. Perhaps this could let him overcome this fatal disaster.
"Shut up!" Gando instead began to rave madly, "You think I just want to win? No! What I want is revenge! Revenge with my own power and hands! I'll repay the entire team China! Why do I have to wait for victory ro be decided? Killing Zheng myself is precisely what I want to do! Extermination is the only end for a team of hypocrites like them!"
"Is that so?" Yinglong sighed.
"That's fine! I'll kill you and then exterminate team China, starting with that hypocrite Zheng!" Gando began to roar with insanity again. He had sunk into the heart's devil ever since merging with the Eva. His condition before could be just described as rampaging, while his own insanity wasn't displayed. However, his consciousness had awakened after eating Adam, that madness had intensified. Upon seeing Yinglong blocking the way and declaring war, he didn't hesitate to roar and unleash a punch. The two were separated by hundred of meters, but the fist carried with it countless diamond shaped A.T Fields, transparent but material.
Yinglong knew that it was impressive and that an A.T. Fields was one of the top tier forms of Light of the Soul. It could both attack and defend, with unfathomable power. You wouldn't even see one person out of millions or tens of millions of people awaken an A.T. Field, an indication of how terrifying it was. Yinglong didn't dare be negligent, as the flying sword below his feet shot out abruptly to welcome the A.T. Field, while he himself remained levitating there. As expected, a fierce shockwave travelled over, its might feeling like a miniature nuke's. Yinglong's heart sunk. Just this violent explosion had expended ten percent of his Refined Qi. It was obvious how powerful it had been.
Fortunately, he had laid down the Omnidirectional Samsara Formation, which replenished his Refined Qi within a few breaths as it operated. The flying sword returned to his side, revolving around his body like a strip of light.
"It's impressive indeed. As expected of the ultimate battle power that 'he' arranged." Yinglong let out a breath as he suddenly recalled what had happened a while back when he had been cultivating at Zu Mountain.
"Yinglong, do you know why master called you over?"
"No. Does master have any instructions?"
"True. Ever since master accepted you as my disciples, your senior brothers have been passing the skills on to you in place of master. Apart from meeting you that time I gave you the Cauldron of the Eight Trigrams, master hasn't met you. Yinglong, do you feel as if master has been treating you coldly?"
"No, disciple had never ever felt as if…"
"Listen carefully, Yinglong. Although you're an outsider not of this world, master has always treated you genuinely. But in the end you're not of this world, so there'll still be a day you leave. That's why master doesn't want to meet you too much, to prevent the eventual heartbreak… But your talents are still extraordinary. You're far from reaching master's level, and yet you can already sense the Heavenly Dao. That's why master called you over…"
"Destiny? Master is speaking of 'him'? That consciousness that keeps watching this universe? Isn't 'he' an au…"
"Do not say it out loud. The Grand Dao is invisible and the Heavenly Dao dispassionate. Who can fathom its will? In the entire Zu Mountain, no, the entire Cultivation world, those who know 'he' exists number merely two or three. But you all from outside have different talents, and are able to able to possibly sense 'him' while you are still weak. That's why master wants you to remember this. Never defy the heavens. No matter how much you outsiders know, no matter if you have methods to break out of the heavens, you still can't defy the heavens. No matter how strong you are, it'll still come to naught and ashes. Yinglong, if you're willing to let go of the outside world, master, along with a few ancient elders who haven't died yet, is willing to help you sever your karma with the outside world. With your talents, you'll become an immortal in fifty years at best, a hundred years at worst. Won't you be able to live a carefree and happy life then?"
"... No. Master, disciple still had countless fetters there. It can't be severed, nor reasoned out. Disciple will not run. Disciple will risk it even if I really do have to defy the heavens. The 'he' who plays this game of chess needs to know we as chess pieces possess the power of the common people's anger!"
"Is that so? Ahhh… Yinglong, your chance for survival lies in that person who bears the main character destiny. This generation of you all as main characters may perhaps really have the chance to meet 'him'. It's just that that chance is too low…"
"Master, don't you often tell us there will always be that chance of survival? When disciple returns this time, it'll be for the final battle that decides my fate. Perhaps… disciple and master shall never meet again. Disciple shall pay respects to master one last time…"
"Ahhh… Alright, alright. Since you already know about your fatal disaster, master shall help you one last time. Although your lifebound flag is strong, it's not invincible. Too bad you lost the Cauldron of the Eight Trigrams, or else… Our Zu Mountain is full of outstanding people, but we only have two Xiantian treasures. They've always been the treasures to defend our Zu Mountain. Your life and death is uncertain, so I will bestow the Qingsuo Sword of the ZiQing Swords to overcome this tribulation. Hopefully, it can help you survive…"
"Master! I…"
"Alright, don't act like a child… Go, go…"
Yinglong suddenly woke up from his reverie, and gave his head a shake, as if he wanted to shake these memories out of his head. His heart shook. He knew this person before him was his fatal disaster. Otherwise, how would he who had entered the Nascent Soul stage so easily end up in a reverie? It must have been this incoming fatal disaster that made him involuntarily slip into a reverie due to some sort of interaction between heaven and man.

Luciano Fidalgo talks on building a global home based business.
Luciano Fidalgo is a friend of mine whom I have admired for many years, he has been in home based business now for over 29 years and knows first hand how to build a global business.
We were chatting on Facebook about "Social Mobile Global" and what that means for the home entrepreneur.
Today more than ever the opportunity to grow a large global business from home has become real. Stories of normal everyday people like you and I earning 6 and 7 figure annual incomes is becoming, dare I say, very common.
But what has made it so common, what has made the once seemingly impossible dream a reality for so many?
Well today Luciano Fidalgo and I talk a little about this and the impact that social media, smart phones, web conferencing etc has had on home based business and what direction we believe the future is going.

when people are without work and actively seeking work
(Redirected from Unemployed)
Unemployment (or joblessness) occurs when people are without work and actively seeking work. The unemployment rate is a measure of the prevalence of unemployment and it is calculated as a percentage by dividing the number of unemployed individuals by all individuals currently in the labor force. During periods of recession, an economy usually experiences a relatively high unemployment rate.

- When a great many people are unable to find work, unemployment results.
- Attributed to Calvin Coolidge, in Stanley Walker, City Editor (1934), p. 131. Reported as unverified in Respectfully Quoted: A Dictionary of Quotations (1989).
- Production is carried on for profit, not for use. There is no provision that all those able and willing to work will always be in a position to find employment; an "army of unemployed" almost always exists. The worker is constantly in fear of losing his job. Since unemployed and poorly paid workers do not provide a profitable market, the production of consumers' goods is restricted, and great hardship is the consequence. Technological progress frequently results in more unemployment rather than in an easing of the burden of work for all. The profit motive, in conjunction with competition among capitalists, is responsible for an instability in the accumulation and utilization of capital which leads to increasingly severe depressions. Unlimited competition leads to a huge waste of labor, and to that crippling of the social consciousness of individuals.
- Unemployment is viewed as one of the more stressful of life events that an adult can experience. Job loss leads to decreased social status, disrupts family and social roles, produces financial strain, and loss of self esteem, all of which have detrimental consequences for mental health.
- Ensminger ME1, Celentano DD, "Unemployment and psychiatric distress: social resources and coping", Soc Sci Med, 1988;27(3):239-47.
- In this paper we examine whether unemployment has a differential impact on the expression of psychological distress among men and women. Based on the traditional centrality of the work role to men and the family role to women, we defined several key domains that might affect unemployed men and women differentially: family circumstances, concerns and worries about children and family; coping responses; social support and social integration; and the centrality of the work role. While the study population either were or hoped to be in the labor force and had dependent children, they varied in their marital status and whether they were the custodial parent. Using data collected in Baltimore from those who had been unemployed but had returned to work, those who had remained continuously unemployed for a year, and those who had been continuously employed, we compared the patterns of men's and women's reactions to unemployment. The important differences in psychological symptoms in this population were related to employment status, problems with parenting, financial difficulties, perceived lack of social support, hostility, and feelings about unemployment. By and large, the patterns of these relationships were similar for men and women. These findings suggest that when gender differences in psychological distress are found they may be due to differences in role configurations of men and women rather than intrinsic gender differences.
- Ensminger ME1, Celentano DD, "Gender differences in the effect of unemployment on psychological distress", Soc Sci Med, 1990;30(4):469-77.
- Unemployment, of course, sends the economy into a recession, creating more unemployment. Ironically, unemployment hurts women more than men. Feminists argue that's because of sex discrimination: women are the last to be hired and the first to be fired. Correct on the outcome; wrong on the reason. We hire first what we need most, and we fire first what we need least. That's why you hire the garbage collector first, and fire him last. Men may be hired first and fired last because more men are willing to do society's dirty work and hazardous work for a lower price.
- Warren Farrell, Why Men Earn More (2005), p. 212.
- But the time will come when New England will be as thickly peopled as old England. Wages will be as low, and will fluctuate as much with you as with us. You will have your Manchesters and Birminghams; and, in those Manchesters and Birminghams, hundreds of thousands of artisans will assuredly be sometimes out of work. Then your institutions will be fairly brought to the test.
- Thomas Babington Macaulay, letter to Henry Stephens Randall (May 23, 1857); in Thomas Pinney, ed., The Letters of Thomas Babington Macaulay (1981), vol. 6, p. 95. Pinney notes that the letter "was published in part as early as 1860 and has frequently been reprinted since", but deems a February 1877 publication in Harper's Magazine as "the place of first full publication so far as I have been able to determine".
- The more education, the less unemployment of women; this relationship is as strong as it is in the male labor force. The channel through which this relation arises is also the same, namely, labor turnover, almost half of which involves unemployment. However, the relation between education and turnover is mediated largely by educational differences in on-the-job training among men, while educational differences in labor force attachment are the main source of turnover differences among women. This is because levels of educational differences in on-the-job (in-house) training are small among women, while nonparticipation in the labor market and educational differences in it are quite small among men. Educational differences in the duration of unemployment are negligible among women, though they are observable, if small, among men. Recent growth in women's work attachment has reduced their inter-labor force turnover and their unemployment rate to the point of eliminating the sex differential. On-the-job training of women appears to have increased, though it still remains skimpy
- Jacob Mincer, "Education and Unemployment of Women", NBER Working Paper No. 3837, The National Bureau of Economic Research, (September 1991).
- Throughout the Keynesian and post-Keynesian era, the inexorable laws of economics have not changed. Unemployment still is, and always has been, a cost phenomenon. A worker whose employ ment adds valuable output and is profitable to his employer can always find a job. A worker whose employment inflicts losses is destined to be unemployed. As long as the earth is no paradise, there is an infinite amount of work to be done. But if a worker produces only $2 per hour, while the government decrees a minimum wage of $2.30 an hour plus sizable fringe costs, he cannot be employed. For a businessman to hire him would mean capital loss and waste. In other words, any compulsion, be it by government or union, to raise labor costs above those determined by the marginal productivity of labor, creates institutional unemployment.
- Hans Sennholz, "Unemployment Is Rising," The Freeman: A Monthly Journal of Ideas on Liberty (Irvington-on-Hudson, N. Y.: Foundation for Economic Education, 1 July 1977), p. 390.

Tea leaves hold our future, our past, our health, and sometimes our very lives – something the Chinese have known for thousands of years. The restorative properties of Chinese tea documented in the ancient scripts are truly astonishing, and we are fortunate that the Chinese people continue to carry on the healing tradition.
Journey with Anantara to a time of health, happiness and peace, when the magic of this natural elixir first revealed itself in all its wonder, and let us reveal to you the distinct personalities of these marvelous medicinal teas.
Detoxifying Green Tea
All the healing teas, with their strong Qi – or life force – calm, stimulate, detoxify and heal, but among them green tea, with its abundance of anti-oxidants, has been the most widely consumed ever since it was discovered that Japanese and Chinese populations who regularly drink it have lower rates of cancer and that it has ten times the antioxidants found in fruits and vegetables.
Balancing White Tea
For centuries, white tea was the pinnacle of luxury and reserved solely for the Emperor. Made from new buds and very young, gently dried leaves, all its antioxidants are retained. Similar to green tea in its detoxifying properties, clear, slightly golden white tea has even more anti-viral and anti-bacterial qualities and is believed to help prevent cardiovascular diseases, cancer and diabetes, slow the aging process and balance the Qi.
Beautifying Rose Tea
Roses have long been given to express love because they soothe the heart and emotions and make us feel beautiful. So too does rose tea. It also balances our mind and hormones, helps to reduce wrinkle formation, boosts immunity, uplifts the nervous system and relieves insomnia, depression and fatigue. There is no better gift on earth for the body, mind and spirit than beautifying rose tea.
Clarifying Chrysanthemum Tea
The world will never appear quite the same after experiencing chrysanthemum tea. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is said to clear the liver and the eyes, which are related as the liver is associated with anger and stress and the bright yellow tea relieves the eye pain brought on by tension and yin deficiency, as well as blurred and diminished vision and dizziness.

Affordable Yoga Classes in Amsterdam For Backpackers
Health and wellness in Amsterdam is a big thing, which for the yogis amongst you will be music to your ears. There are some incredible yoga classes in Amsterdam that are ideal for backpackers looking for some time to stretch, strengthen or sometimes to simply switch off while on the road. We've put together a list of the best yoga studios in Amsterdam that are actually really affordable, but if you know your stuff and your mat is on hand, an early morning session in Vondelpark is just as satisfying. Read on to find out the best affordable places to get your yoga fix in Amsterdam.
Looking for hostels in Amsterdam? Check out the Flying Pig Uptown and the Flying Pig Downtown
De Nieuwe Yoga School
De Nieuwe Yoga School is one of the city's best rated places for every kind of yogi from novice to expert. Here, you can pay €15 per lesson or €55 for 10 lessons - ideal if you're in Amsterdam for one month and looking for somewhere light and spacious to fit in some yoga practice. With a packed out weekly schedule, of course the range of yoga classes will contain anyone's preferred yoga style. From a range of Vinyasa classes to Core Flow and free 45 minute meditation sessions every morning Monday to Friday, yogis will be in their element.
Studio 191
With a studio located both in the cool De Pijp neighbourhood and in Amsterdam West, Studio 191 has back to back classes all day, every day - over 180 classes a week! There's sunrise yoga for the early risers, as well as candlelight yoga for those that prefer it to wind down in the evenings, plus everything else in between. Pay €15 for a one off class to get your yoga fill, or if you're a student in town for 2 weeks, why not pay the introductory €30 fee for 5 lessons within 14 days? All classes at Studio 191 are given in English by qualified instructors from all over the world.
Svaha Yoga
Svaha Yoga has been teaching yoga in Amsterdam for 15 years, and was the first in the city to offer the practice of Vinyasa - a physical and mental workout that's good for the soul. They have studios in three different spots in the city (Downtown, Jordaan and North), and of the range of classes they teach, each has three different intensities making it easy for newcomers to yoga or well-practiced yogis to pick a class to suit them. At €60 for 10 classes, the price is worth it. The second you step into Svaha Yoga you will feel right at home from the staff and surroundings, the perfect welcome before you reach for your mat.
Volkshotel Rooftop Yoga
There's no better time or place for yoga than under a shining sun, and at Volkshotel you can practice at a class on their open rooftop. Pay €12 for a lesson with Mareille, who teaches her students a fusion of Hatha, Yin and Vinyasa yoga for 75 minute sessions. Mareille only teaches 4 classes a week, so if you're looking to make the most of her rooftop sessions, you'll have to book on in advance and make sure you choose a day when the weather is clear and sunny (or the class will be taken inside the hotel). Yoga while taking in views and basking in the sun? Sounds like the way to do it.
Yoga by the canal
When in Amsterdam, make use of the relaxing sound of the city's canals and try some Yoga With Jo. Yoga With Jo takes place each Sunday on a wooden terrace right by the Olympiakanaal. For €10, you must book in advance and have your own mat, but this small weekly yoga practice is oh so worth being organised. Be at one with your mat and take in the canal view during Jo's unique canalside yoga practice. Just hope for bright, sunny skies to avoid disappointment and a cancelled class.

Rubella and Measles Vaccine
A friend raised her concern over the Rubella and Measles vaccination campaign that is going on between 16-24th on May driven by the government. I am sure most if not all of you have received that text message from RedCross: Kampeni ya chanjo ya Ukambi- Rubella inaanza kesho! Leta watoto walio miezi 9 hadi miaka 14 katika kituo cha afya karibu nawe, 16 May- 24 May idadi dharura 1199.
I'm all for supporting the government and its process for the well being of its citizens…
i'm a bit confused on this 'new' measles and rubella vaccination campaign.
here are my concerns:
1. Is there a new strain of the two diseases and thus need to re-do the vaccinations, especially if our children are up to date with the vaccinations
- What government agencies are licensed to do this.. and how sure are we they are in its purest form, considering we have heard stories of tampered vaccines, case in point Busia children
- What if a child has already suffered measles, should they still get the jab.
- is there a way to better sensitize the public just to kill the speculation and have total by-in from the moms, especially….
This was a response from one of the doctors
Hey moms, Just incase you can't access Dr. Amakove Wala 's response, here goes… copied from her status:
WHO recommendation for eradication of rubella (which mimics Measles in some ways and causes deformities in children whose mothers have it) is to introduce it together with the measles vaccine in either a combination of measles-rubella or measles-mumps-rubella vaccination given at two doses (9 months and 18 months).
Kenya has already introduced the measles vaccine at 9 and 18 months in the public facilities. The uptake of the second measles vaccine is still low since people know vaccines stop at 9 months
Our coverage of measles vaccine at 9 months is approximately 80%. That means we miss 20% of children born in every years.
Out of those who receive measles vaccine (80%), another 15% don't get immunity. This means that we have some kids who have been vaccinated but not protected.
The combination of 20% (not vaccinated) and 15% (vaccinated but not protected) further increases the number of children not protected every year. If you use compounding statistics, this means that every three years or so, we get an equivalent of a whole birth cohort unprotected. That is when we get cases of measles outbreaks.
To protect against this, it is recommended to have mass campaigns for measles vaccine every 3 years or so to enable more children get protected. And secondly, to introduce the second dose of measles at 18 months of age.
Now, we have many vaccines which are available in the private sector but not in the public sector. The government cannot afford to introduce all of them at a go. This means that every time they get resources to introduce new vaccines for all children, they must evaluate the burden of diseases vis a vis the costs of the vaccines.
So if you have noticed, Kenya was one of the countries to introduce the pneumonia vaccine into the public programs. This was then followed by the rota virus vaccine. And now the intention is to introduce the rubella vaccine.
The decision to introduce vaccines is guided by a team of experts in the vaccine field who study data available locally and internationally. Rubella was thus selected. We do not have much data on mumps. We need to polish up on our data collecting tools.
The burden of disease on rubella as recorded may not be that high but this is also complicated by the fact that many cases get un-reported while others are mistakenly labelled measles due to the similarity in the rash. Furthermore, in the field of epidemiology, once three cases are identified, an outbreak is declared and testing stops as focus is placed on management of the outbreak.
So, the disease rubella, though mainly affecting children, causes the biggest issues in pregnancy. This means that when rolling out a campaign, one has to vaccinate a bigger generation. This is necessitated purely due to the nature of the disease rubella. If we only focus on children, we will in 5 or so years, see a major outbreak of congenital rubella (abnormalities in the newborns) in the women who grow up not being protected.
Before the introduction of rubella vaccine into the routine immunisation program, the recommendation is to have a mass campaign targeting infants to early teens (in our case 9months to 14 years) so that we have them covered. Thereafter, all newborns will then be given routinely at 9 and 18 months.
Kenya will introduce Measles-Rubella vaccine in January 2017 in the routine immunisation at 9 and 18 months.
The association of MMR or MR vaccines with autism was refuted as the doctor had distorted facts and was de-registered.
In public health campaign, the focus is on the public and not individuals. Ideally, proof of vaccination (and immunity) would give you a free pass. Then that is not ideal in our scenario. Therefore, the campaign is targeting every child from 9 months to 14 years irrespective of prior immunisation status.
The vaccine will not be given door to door since it is an injection. For safety and environmental concerns. There will be fixed and mobile vaccination points including schools, government facilities and public places. The campaign will run from 16th to 24th May 2016. Let us support the government in protecting our children.
In 11 pre-selected sub counties, there will be an additional tetanus toxoid vaccine given to women of child-bearing age. These have been identified as areas where neonatal tetanus is still a threat.

It is a heat-resistant glass pendant featuring a mysterious three-dimensional pattern. I imaged galaxies and nebulae floating in outer space. The appearance of shine and pattern will change depending on viewing angle and light source. I expressed the color of the pattern using gold and silver. When you hit a bright light on a three-dimensional pattern, the pattern shines beautifully in a glass work. It is a glass pendant made with handmade, melting heat-resistant glass with oxygen burner that uses oxygen more than 2000 degrees. The heat-resistant glass used for the material is harder and more transparent and beautiful than ordinary glass.

Natalie Lisinska
Profession: Actress
Age: 28 (turns 29 on Jan. 11)
Hometown: Born in Shrewsbury, Shropshire, in England; raised in Ladysmith, B.C.
Notable achievements: Film credits - Eliza in Chloe, starring Liam Neeson and Juliana Moore directed by Atom Egoyan; Inez in Young People Fucking; TV credits - lead in Gemini-nominated CBC series At the Hotel; CBC mini-series Above and Beyond; Lifetime TV movie The House Next Door
Upcoming: InSecurity premieres Tuesday, Jan. 4, 2011 on CBC
In the CBC's new action comedy InSecurity, actress Natalie Lisinska plays Alex Cranston, who is in charge of a team of misfit secret agents. On set, some of the action-packed driving scenes were performed by a stunt double because Lisinska didn't have her licence.
But that's not the case any more. She's a new driver and the proud owner of her first car: a 2006 Mazda3 Sport.
Why did you buy a Mazda3?
It just felt really good behind the wheel. They're really zippy. If you need to overtake a bus it's not a problem.
I just wanted something I could zip around the city in, but if I wanted to take it on a road trip I could fit some serious gear into it. I looked at the Toyota Yaris, the Mini and finally I settled on a Mazda3 because frankly, I just kept finding myself checking it out. When I was walking down the street I'd be, like, "What's that car? Oh it's a Mazda3 again."
What does a Mazda3 say about you?
That I'm urban. I live right downtown in Toronto and I don't need something hulking and huge.
I need something that I can squeeze into tiny little parking spaces. Really, parking is the key to driving.
What's the best feature?
The heated seats. I wouldn't even consider looking at a car if it didn't have the heated seat option. I live in Toronto. I am not getting a car that doesn't have a bum warmer!
What's the worst feature?
It doesn't have a jack to plug my iPod in. It has forced me to go back and rediscover all of my old CDs. So the music I'm listening to in my car is circa 1996.
Mechanically, do you know what's under the hood?
Not really. I have to admit I'm a bit of a girl when it comes to that stuff.
I'm planning on taking a junior mechanics course. If something goes wrong, I can take it into a shop and know what they're talking about.
Do you drive an automatic or manual transmission?
My brother-in-law who helped me pick up the car is a bit of a gear head. He kept trying to push me to get a manual. But you know, let's just do this one step at a time. Let me pass the G test in an automatic and then we'll talk about a manual transmission - maybe for my second car.
When did you get your license?
I just passed my G test! I'm very proud of that.
I went to boarding school when I was a kid. Driving for me wasn't something that was a top priority because we weren't allowed to have cars because we'd escape school.
I got my G2 last minute when I was leaving Vancouver Island to come out to Toronto. And then, living downtown, I never felt the need for a car as a university student. I just never got around to doing it.
Just recently it was, like, "Oh my God, my licence is going to expire I need to do this right now!" So I booked a few lessons at Young Drivers. Thank God I passed.
So you didn't drive on set of InSecurity?
There's a stunt where my character accidentally hits Grace Lynn Kung's character Jo Jo with her car. And I reversed. I just knew I wasn't comfortable getting behind the wheel of a huge SUV and peeling out, which is what they wanted - very aggressive driving.
Here's an idea: How about I save the company thousands of dollars of insurance money and we'll get somebody in a blond wig to drive? Let's do that.
I told my producers I got my licence and they were, like, "You can drive next season! Yeah!"
What's your best driving memory?
When I pulled out of the dealership and drove home. That drive home was just awesome.
The whole act of buying a car is oddly easy. I just gave him my credit card and signed this piece of paper and then we're done. It wasn't until I got into the car and pulled away and was driving down the road that I was, like, "Oh I just bought a car!" It was lovely.
I listened to the Almost Famous sound track and just drove along. I came up with a name for my car - I named him Captain Pewter Schmidt, because he's pewter grey. I need my car to be military men - I need to feel like they're going into battle with me.
What's your worst driving memory?
My worst memory with my car would be this morning. I came out and it was just iced over. Getting the car door open was hard - I had to yank on it and scrape all the ice off it.
Oh, this is what it means to have a car in the winter in Toronto. Great. Awesome.
What's your dream car?
I don't know the model. But there's a SUV that Infiniti has - it looks like a crouching jungle cat - it's a really mean-looking car and I just dig it. It almost looks like it has haunches - it makes me want to spank it when I walk by!
Any embarrassing moments?
Yes, the first day we got snow.
I was wearing these big Sorel snow boots which I don't like driving in. So I had these little Mary Jane flats that I was putting on to drive. I had these big fluffy socks pulled up over my jeans and I was just switching the shoes when I was getting in and out of the car. I was in a hurry and I forgot to change into the boots.
I got out of my car, locked it and got half way down the street and realized that I was wearing these bright socks pulled up to my knees, over my jeans, with these weird, little shoes! This is my winter fashion!
The interview has been edited and condensed.
She could have saved some money by refusing this unnecessary service on her car

Supreme Court rules CVEC-GPC grain contract can end
Minnesota's Supreme Court ruled June 6 that the contract for corn supply between the Chippewa Valley Ethanol Company (CVEC) and Glacial Plains Cooperative (GPC) is not of perpetual duration, overturning an earlier ruling from both the 8th Judicial District Court and state Court of Appeals.
It has remanded the case to the district court to now determine what is a "reasonable" amount of time for notice to end the grain handling contract.
"CVEC argues that given the 20-year length of the contractual relationship thus far, 'as a matter of law' the contract must have already lasted a reasonable time. We disagree," the Court stated in its findings.
"A 'reasonable time' is determined not by a specific number of years, but by the individualized circumstances surrounding each case. It is for the district court, sitting in its role as factfinder, to weigh the evidence and apply the law to determine whether a reasonable time has passed. We therefore remand this case to the district court for proceedings consistent with this opinion...."

Pictured: Since it was constructed in the mid-1990s, the Chippewa Valley Ethanol Company has received its grain from Glacial Plains Cooperative, which constructed its grain handling facilty adjacent to the plant. The Minnesota Supreme Court has ruled that CVEC can end what GPC thought was a permanent contract.

Electric Scooter with Seat Buyers Guide
What to look for when buying an electric scooter with a seat?
Load Capacity
Before purchasing an electric scooter with a seat, you should consider who will be using it and what they will be using it for. Different seated electric scooters offer different load capacities, and so you will have to take this into consideration so that the electric scooter can actually carry your weight.
On average, the lower priced electric scooters with seats will provide a weight capacity of around 150 lb with the most expensive electric scooters reaching load capacities of almost 400 lb. Therefore, the heavier you are, you will have to expect to pay considerably more for your electric scooter.
Style of Seated Electric Scooter
The electric scooter has been adapted from the standard children's manual scooter and so many of the foldable electric scooters on the market feature the same style with the addition of a padded seat. If you are not looking for a foldable electric scooter with a seat, you have more options when it comes to style and design. For example, there are electric scooters on the market which resemble a traditional bicycle, while others have adopted a continental vintage design.
Top Speed and Distance
Each seated electric scooter will offer its own top speed and maximum distance available from a full battery charge. The lower priced models may offer a 10 mph top speed and a 10 mile maximum distance, which is fine if you want to zip around the neighborhood on short errands.
However, the most expensive models allow you to travel up to 50 mph for a distance of 45 miles, enabling you to easily commute to work and back in style on a fully charged battery. Be aware of the top speed and maximum distance before you purchase to avoid disappointment.
Buyers Guide Question
Q: Is it more eco-friendly to travel by an electric scooter?
A: Yes! The electric scooter emits NO emissions as you are solely using battery power, therefore being so much better for the environment and for society too. Imagine if everyone traveled to work on an electric scooter, emitting no emissions?
Expert tip
Before purchasing an electric scooter, make sure to check the regulations for traveling in your state, or where you will be using the electric scooter.

Rolling Stone magazine plans to publish an external review of a widely disputed article about a gang rape at the University of Virginia "in the next couple of weeks," its managing editor, Will Dana, said on Sunday.
The 9,000-word article, which was published in November, was based on the account of a female student who described being sexually assaulted by seven men in a dark room during a fraternity house party.
The article quickly became part of a national debate over sexual assault on college campuses, and the university suspended the fraternity's operations. But in early December, substantial portions of the article were called into question. Rolling Stone acknowledged that it had not sought to independently corroborate the woman's account, and that it had doubts about the veracity of the story. Shortly afterward, it announced a review of the article would be led by Steve Coll, dean of the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism.
"Steve Coll has not filed yet, but I expect the report soon and the plan is to publish in the next couple of weeks," Mr. Dana said in an email on Sunday. He has not read the report, he said, and does not know what it might say.
Mr. Coll said when the review was announced that the magazine had allowed him access to its staff and materials. The report will focus, he said, "on the editorial process," but he added that it would also "have the freedom to move in any direction along the way that we believe would be germane and of public interest."
News of the timing of the publication of the review was first reported by CNN.
