I was born in a small town on the eastern coast of Elanthia, far to the south of all the Elven cities. I will be no more specific as to directions; though I bear my home little good will I still would not wish to lead any who might mean ill to it. The population was a mix of dark elven and human blood as can only be produced through thousands of years of interbreeding. I am told I show very strongly many of the physical traits of my dark elven ancestors, as did my sister; perhaps this can begin to explain somewhat why our lives took the turn they did. But to explain why such a town, with such a racial mixing, ever existed in the first place, I suppose I shall have to take you back even further in history, to times long before any of us live.
As many of you, students of history that you are, doubtless know, five thousand years ago the House Faendryl made war upon House Ashrim and destroyed it utterly. To briefly sketch out the events preceding this attack, I shall say that a princess of House Faendryl was selected to wed a high prince of the Ashrim. She never made it to her wedding day, as she died en route to Ta'Ashrim, by means that none can know for certain. With rumors abounding that the death of the princess had occurred under the auspices of the Ashrim, a measure to begin war which some of the aristocracy had pressed for even before the marriage quickly passed. Some, however, refused to follow the leaders of Faendryl. The believed that such a war could never unite the Elven people under the hands of the Faendryl but would only further shatter the Elven civilization. When they saw that the war could not be prevented, they left the tunnels beneath Rhoska-Tor and struck out to the southeast, believing that perhaps when the wars had ended they could return and gain power during the rebuilding.
Eventually, a total of eight dark elven lords and their households crossed the hills and deserts and reached the coast, where they found a small village of humans already established. They naturally took the humans as their slaves, and founded their own settlement on that spot. They knew little of dwelling above ground, however, and found themselves relying on the humans for their very survival. This plight was enhanced by a disastrous summoning in the first year of the settlement, when a strange and unknown demon shrugged aside the bindings of its summoner and destroyed over half the village's population, both human and Faendryl, before being killed. The remaining leaders of the Faendryl quickly called a council and halted the further practice of such magics until the settlement was more stable. That time never came, and gradually the practice of almost all magics faded away, in part because the location was utterly lacking in mana foci or other sources of power.
Over the centuries, the divide between master and servant narrowed, for there were too few of either in the tiny seaside town for them to remain apart. Even the bonds of propriety that kept the races separate slowly wore away, and they eventually interbred. While some of the Faendryl attitude towards the Arkati remained, the native's customs of worship did not entirely fade, and Charl, Niima, and Imaera continued to receive a measure of respect. The town, briefly granted an obscure Faendryl appellation, reverted to its original human name of Nadreen, and the oddly mixed residents lived in peace if not in comfort.
Having finished a brief, and hopefully impartial, overview of the history of my home, I should perhaps continue with my own story. This assumes, of course, that you have not already been put to sleep; forgive me if my story is not as interesting or as blood-filled as some, but it is my past, and the truth. At a time some sixty years ago or more, my mother and father, both fishermen, gave birth to my elder sister; two years after that, I was born.
Before I continue, I shall try to give a short description of the naming customs of my town; namely, that until a child is old enough to choose a name for themselves (generally around their twentieth birthday), they are called merely by their family name, generally either a mangled corruption of one of the original Faendryl names or the name of a simple aspect of their surroundings as the early humans named themselves. This does, of course, cause some confusion, for there are often many similarly named children running about the town. Each child by necessity picks up a nickname; those, however, I will not repeat here, for there are some indignities that are best left to childhood. Suffice to say that neither mine nor my sister's was complementary.
To continue on with my elder sister, however, she was born, as was I, looking the striking image of a pure dark elf. Why the Arkati play such tricks I do not know; I can only say that, as children often do, our playmates took every opportunity to tease us for our differences. Tiring of the constant insults, my sister and myself set ourselves away from the other children, and we spent much of our childhood together. When I was perhaps fifteen years old, my sister, feeling pushed away by the contempt of her peers, took a walk alone along the seaside cliffs and fell, breaking her leg. Feeling her pain, I myself fell in the middle of the town square, causing considerable disturbance. After much effort in convincing the adults of the village that I was not merely playing a prank, a rescue party was sent after my sister, who was brought back to town. Having revealed my empathic talents, however, I was sent away from my sister to live with the other village healers, for the talent was a rare one and not to be wasted when found.
As I learned of the arts of empathy and herb preparation, of healing by both magic and mundane means, I saw little of my sister. Had I, I would perhaps have been able to prevent things from turning out as badly as they did, but I doubt it would have been so. My sister, over the years, had developed or been born with (depending on how you view such things) a talent for sorcery. She began to feel increasingly alienated from the other villagers, and spent time by herself, either shut in her cabin or roaming the lands around the village. Rumors flew that she had resurrected the forbidden skills of summoning; had people known the rumors to be true, I doubt she would have been allowed to remain as long as she did. On her naming day, while the rest of the village and I watched the ceremony, and after her peers had selected their own names for themselves, she named herself Ashev, declared her powers of sorcery, and left the town with neither a word nor a backwards glance. I was devastated.
I shall continue on with my narrative shortly, but I feel a need here to insert yet another note, this time on the linguistics of my home and of my sister's chosen name. The word shev, in our tongue, means death; "a" is a prefix or suffix meaning not. Thus, "ashev" takes on the meaning life, although in a rather peculiar fashion. When, however, as is our custom, it is attached to the end of the family name, the "a" negates the family name instead, causing Morashev to mean "Shev, not of the family Sea." It was, for my sister, a very definite and unchangeable way of declaring her permanent separation from her home.
Had there been no distraction for me, I do not know what I would have done after my sister's leave-taking. She had been the only person with whom I was ever truly close, and she had forsaken me. I think, perhaps, I might have killed myself. I never forgave the village for its rules and laws, which I had previously considered so right, for they had driven my sister away from me. A few days after the naming day, however, a strange stumbled into the village. She was very short and very dark; a halfling, I later learned. She was also deathly ill of fever. Having been given the task of nursing her back to health, I set out to do such with a complete disregard for anything else in the world. Having just lost the person dearest to me, I, for whatever reason, chose my delirious patient as a substitute. Though I have had plenty of chances to rue my attachment to her, it has, in the end, perhaps turned out for the best.
When, after several weeks, she finally began to recover her strength, I learned that she spoke not a word of odd mixture of human and elven speech that we used in everyday circumstances, nor the archaic elven that was preserved for official events. I sought out of the elders of the village, the only one among us who spoke something near to pure common, to give me lessons. After picking up the basics, Rhyi, as the stranger named herself, took over the task of instructing me in the tongue, an activity she apparently found amusing. It is not, in any case, difficult to amuse Rhyi. I did, fortunately, manage to learn the tongue from her without also learning the irritating accent she affects. I will not, in this text, go into detail as to Rhyi's origins, for that is her tale to tell, and not mine. Suffice to say that she told me many stories of her adventures, and, through her, I came to learn of the lands outside my home. She stayed with us for perhaps a year before moving on, although I begged her not to leave. She has, I have learned, ever found her joy in traveling.
I continued, over the next year, living with the village healers, although there was little left for me to learn. I gradually took over many of the tasks of healing given to us, for I found I was in fact a more powerful healer than either of the aging women who had held the position of village empath previously. My naming day approached eventually, and passed without incident; I chose for myself the name Ithisdri (thus making my full name Morithisdri), which translates roughly to "shimmer" in the common tongue, although it has more specific connotations. A new young empath moved in with us, and began her training with the older empaths; though I offered to help teach, she refused to listen to me. The disgrace of my sister had, in the way such things often do, transferred itself somewhat to me, although my position as primary healer kept the villagers civil to me, at least in my presence. Feeling unwanted and unneeded, as my younger compatriot increased in skill, I gradually spent less and less time at work healing, and more and more time wandering the woods and beaches, gathering herbs. On the naming day of the younger healer, I quietly packed my belongings and left town, heading northwest, in the direction I knew Rhyi had gone and speculated that my sister had taken as well.
In the end, it was only through sheer luck that I avoided dying in the wastes or becoming a captive of the humans, for my travels to Wehnimer's took me straight across the primary lands of their empire, and my elvish nature was obvious. I traveled slowly, as one unaccustomed to lands outside my home, making a few coins here and there by itinerant healing. I made, after many months, my way to Wehnimer's Landing, where I once again met with Rhyi. I had not seen my true sister since the day she left our home and me, but Rhyi and I, through my pleading with my adopted father, become "sisters," such as it were; she continues to be amusing and more than slightly off in the head, as well as very dear to me. I am writing this, I suppose, mainly at her behest; my past is not something I often wish to discuss. I am now part way through my fifth year in Wehnimer's Landing and the surrounding lands; although I have made many trips south to River's Rest I have made no plans to ever continue my travels southeast beyond there to my home.
If, in this short treatise, I have bored you, or missed the intended topic completely, I beg your forgiveness. If the writing style has come across as strange to you, I beg pardon, but the elven I was brought up speaking was a great deal more formal than that spoken in Landing, and I would prefer not to write in common. I hope that, at the least, you have, by reading this, learned some small bit of information of interest; if not, I have at least pleased my sister Rhyi by writing it, so it has served some point after all.
By my hand,
Seashimmer Cowrie

Each of us embodies a combination of masculine and feminine energies, regardless of sexual preferences, anatomy or whether we identify as male or female. These dual universal energies are an intrinsic part of everything around us. They are two poles, two opposites on a spectrum, day and night, light and dark, yin and yang. We all contain varying degrees of both and we all tend to lean more toward one end of the spectrum than the other.
Having a natural dominance of one energy is normal for many of us. It's the energy that we lead from, regardless of our sex. We are all individuals, existing in this world as unique expressions of humanity and a perfect balance of these dual energies may not be attainable, at least not all of the time. Our energies can differ during different stages of our lives or depending on the situation and who we are interacting with. That said, having an extreme imbalance of these dual energies is not healthy and can negatively affect how we lead our lives.
Like everything in life, balance is key. Just as eating mindfully and getting regular exercise is important, so is having a healthy energetic system. Tuning in to and becoming aware of the unique balance of your own masculine and feminine energies is a vital part of living an empowered, abundant and authentic existence.
The concept of the divine masculine and feminine runs through many traditions and cultures. In yogic philosophy, the divine masculine is known as Shiva and the divine feminine as Shakti. It's said that the feminine rules the left side of our bodies and the masculine rules the right. In Chinese philosophy, the male is yang and the female is yin. In Western culture, we tend to divide the energies into our preconceived, somewhat stereotypical ideas of what determines typical feminine and masculine qualities, e.g feminine (soft, sensitive, emotional) or masculine (hard, analytical and independent).
So how can you tell which energy you are leading from and which you might be denying? Which energy has been overly nurtured and developed to the detriment of the other?
First, identify which traits of these two polar energies you contain within yourself and to what extent. Make a list of the traits that resonate with you and a list of those you recognise you would like to express more of.
Balanced Feminine Energy (Yin) or (Shakti)
True feminine energy when balanced is considered intelligent, intuitive and loving. It's associated with being receptive, having compassion, patience and wisdom, an ability to heal, stillness, the moon and nighttime, emotions and feelings. The feminine is fertile, creative, truth-seeking, connected with nature, whole, self-assured, empowered, sexual and abundant. With a balanced sacred feminine energy, you have the ability to make intuitive, heart-based decisions and feel and move in flow with the beauty of life. The balanced feminine is able to fill her own well and is a wonderful expression of life.
Traits of the Unbalanced Feminine
The unbalanced feminine is overly sensitive, too empathetic (like a sponge) needy, co-dependent, takes on too much of others (people pleaser), insecure, manipulative, depressed, self-doubting and has low self-esteem.
Balanced Masculine Energy (Yang) or (Shiva)
The balanced masculine is powerful, strong, supportive, protective, energised, physical, confident, focused and active. It is associated with the sun and light, daytime. It is independent, free, fast, logical, analytical and courageous. Balanced masculine energy is able to be supported by the feminine without being threatened, it can love unconditionally without losing a sense of self, is not ruled by feelings but is in touch with them.
Traits of the Unbalanced Masculine
The unbalanced masculine is arrogant, barbaric, egotistical, disconnected from emotions, headstrong, stubborn and relentless, going into overdrive and not resting. Unbalanced masculine energy can be destructive, create feelings of being trapped and tendencies to self-sabotage relationships and life choices.
It is certainly not a given that women express more feminine energy. It is extremely common for many women to have an overactive masculine energy as a result of cultural pressure. When society and culture at large values working hard at all costs, relying on external factors such as money and others opinions for validation and success, many women overdevelop their masculine energy and neglect a huge part of themselves. Equally, many men suffer from an imbalance of masculine energy, as they are denied their expression of the feminine, are unable to be vulnerable and emotional and instead overdevelop their masculine in an unhealthy way.
The dominant energy ruling the world overall has been the unbalanced masculine for many centuries now. That means both men and women have been driven by fear, insecurity and materialism. We have been obsessed by wanting more, doing more and producing to excess, regardless of the environment.
Consider the following:
Do you often feel overworked? Do you move through life without thinking, on autopilot? Are you always doing and striving without really feeling emotionally connected to your goal? Are you never really fully present in your body? That indicates a need to up your connection to the feminine energy within you.
Alternatively if you often feel worn out from always taking on other people's energy, if you feel resentful and insecure or disempowered and lonely that is an indication that you have an imbalance of feminine energy and need to tap into more of your masculine.
Here are Four Tools to aid you in balancing your dual energies:
To gain awareness of the mix of energies within you, take time to meditate in silence every morning. When you check in with yourself, you are cultivating a connection to your inner truth. You don't have to strive, think or manifest anything during meditation. You are strengthening your ability to feel the stillness inside you that is your soul, spirit or whatever you choose to call it – the real you. When you do this regularly you will begin to automatically act from your authentic centre much more often.
Laughter and Spontaneity
People often say you must carve time out of your schedule for fun, but in setting aside a certain window of time where you must have fun, you are detracting from its spontaneity and cramming it into a box. Instead try to remember that laughing is probably one of the most spiritual and healing things you can do. Laughter softens and opens us to the present moment. Remember to allow fun to soak into everything you do at all times.
Listen to Your Body
Do you have any constant complaints on the right side of your body? Or on the left? Our bodies contain great wisdom and are reflective of what is happening emotionally and mentally. Your body may be nudging you to redress the balance of your energies through sprains, strains or other repetitive problems. With small adjustments you may find that those go away as you bring your energetic system into balance.
Know Yourself and Honour Who You Are
Don't be afraid to take time for yourself, get clear on your likes, dislikes, ambitions, strengths and weaknesses and own them. They are yours. You might acknowledge that sometimes you work best in a structured routine or sometimes you need a day where you have nothing planned but downtime. Perhaps you are most creative at night, perhaps you find inspiration alone, or in a crowd. Maybe what you like changes every single day. Maybe you need to cry more or take up dancing or learn how to take a compliment. Knowing who you are on a deep level is essential to your happiness.
These tools can help you learn how to always live from your true identity and express who you really came here to be.
Wholeness and balance are achieved by integrating both yin and yang, Shakti and Shiva, feminine and masculine. As we step into an age where women are becoming increasingly empowered and feminism is hotly debated, it's important to keep the emphasis on equality and balance. True equality means a balance between the essence of the sacred, balanced masculine and the sacred, balanced feminine present in all of us.
We all need both aspects to thrive and flourish. Creativity and productivity, intuition and logic, healthy, empowered confidence and deep, heartfelt nurturing. A readdressing and balancing of these energies is vital for us as individuals and for all humanity, going forward.

Hi all,
Thought I post my first thread introducing myself. As of the moment, I am a beginning web scripter trying to make my mark along the information highway. I have dreams of building a forum on my own website. And because I have NEVER used a forum before in my life, I saw it fitting that I become a member of one and get some experience posting threads and answering them.
Just FYI about myself, I am a high schooler from Texas, who is working towards an A+ certification, and I am also seriously considering obtaining an Network+ and Linux+ cetification.
- Soral 3.0
p.s. I would REALLY appreciate any input anybody has to give to a person who's never used a forum before... :confused:

Live music depends on having people at the show to buy tickets. If you are trying to put on a hip-hop show you will need a promoter who specializes in hip-hop concerts. These promoters know the audience needed to put on a good show. Finding a hip-hop promoter is not difficult. There are a lot of agencies in most metropolitan areas that can help you put on a show with people at the club.
Buy a few books that explain the basics of promotion. Read the books and take notes on how to promote a show. These books will explain how to create flyers and distribute them around your area. These books will also give you a little bit of knowledge on what to expect when you do hire a promoter. Most promoters will also for an upfront payment before they begin. Other promoters will work from commission.
Call different public relations or talent agencies in your area and ask if they have anybody who specializes in hip-hop promotions. Most talent agencies will have a scout that is looking for new talent. They may be able to get you in touch with a promoter.
Talk to club owners. Clubs do not just open with lines around the block. Clubs have promoters that they use to get people in the door. Club owners know who the best promoters are in your city. Since clubs play hip-hop music, they should know who to talk to.
Set meetings with different promoters to find out what they think they can offer you. Different promoters have different connections, different rates and different methods of promotion. Meet with a couple to verify what you think would be the best style for your show.
Get everything written in a contract. Verbal agreements are not enough when using a promoter. Professional promoters will draw up a contract before they are paid. If your promoter doesn't want to draw up a contract, find another one.

KUALA LUMPUR: A witness told the High Court that nothing tangible came out of the RM4bil loaned by Retirement Fund Inc (KWAP) to SRC International Sdn Bhd.
Former KWAP chairman Tan Sri Dr Wan Abdul Aziz Wan Abdullah said he did not know what was done by SRC International with the billion-ringgit loan.
He was answering a question during a re-examination by deputy public prosecutor Datuk Suhaimi Ibrahim at the corruption trial of Datuk Seri Najib Razak, who is accused of misappropriating RM42mil in SRC International funds.During cross-examination earlier, Najib's lawyer Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah had raised the issues of Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace (Lima) Exhibition's accommodation project and UEM's North-South Expressway project that received the then prime minister's attention.
The projects were hurried, and the working papers were only completed after the projects had started.
DPP Suhaimi asked the witness about the two projects, to which Dr Wan Abdul Aziz said both projects existed.
DPP Suhaimi: For SRC International, the money had been disbursed. Until now, do we see what has been done with the money loaned?
Dr Wan Abdul Aziz: No.
Meanwhile, another witness testified that Bank Negara seized seven electronic devices, including a BlackBerry, from three AmBank officers in Jalan Raja Chulan in 2015.
Bank Negara analyst Suzairizman Shuib, 40, said four thumb drives of four and eight gigabytes and a hard disk were also seized from AmBank relationship managers Joanna Yu, Krystle Yap and Daniel Lee.
The witness was in an examination-in-chief by deputy public prosecutor Mohd Ashrof Adrin Kamarul.
Suzairizman said he seized the items on July 6, 2015 after he received an order from his department director Abdul Rahman Abu Bakar during a briefing session.
Two days later on July 8, 2015, the witness said he received an application from Bank Negara investigating officer Ahmad Farhan Sharifuddin for him to run an analysis on Yu's BlackBerry.
Suzairizman then extracted data from the phone's memory card and SIM card which included photos and videos.
"I 'burned' (copied) the information I had before handing a report on it to Ahmad Farhan.
"I also handed the handphone to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission for further action," he added.
DPP Ashrof: Some time in April and May this year, did you receive any information from Ahmad Farhan regarding the case?
Suzairizman: Yes, I did. He said Bank Negara had a court order for me to retrieve the information from a BlackBerry Messenger.
DPP Ashrof: Did Ahmad Farhan explain about the information they sought on the phone?
Suzairizman: Yes, he showed me names.
DPP Ashrof: You remember those names?
Suzairizman: I do. Joanna, Krystle, Daniel and Jho Low.
The hearing continues before Justice Mohd Nazlan Mohd Ghazali on Monday.

Cancer patients receiving hospital care
- Cancer which is well known as the malignancy, is the unusual growth of cells in the body
- Since the caregiver is relieved from giving so much attention to the patient suffering from cancer, then their relationship has become so friendly
- Hospice care was presented in the nineteenth century, whenthe malignancy rate was on the ascent
- If the hospital care for the patients who are suffering from cancer is not initiated, then there will be increased deaths caused by malignant as this malignancy has become the world health problem
- The faculty of nursing educates on how to apply fully the concept of silver hour as this is the best criteria of bringing the relevant comfort to the cancer patient during the time of hospital care
Cancer which is well known as the malignancy, is the unusual growth of cells in the body. Different patients who are having cancer suffer from different types of cancer, which is approximately one hundred. The patient treatment of cancer also varies depending on the type of cancer which include, the chemotherapy, surgery or radiation. Treatment of cancer is very expensive and the concept of the cancer patients receiving hospital care, has really assisted the affected population who are the families of the patients by relieving them the hard task of catering for the expensive bills. So the cost which they could have paid for the cancer patients, can be used to support the family of the patients and also support the lives of the members of the family. Also by introducing the idea of hospital care, it significantly solved the problem of the relationship which is strained between the family or rather the caregiver and the cancer patient (Ahlner-Elmqrist et al. 2004, p. 585).

Authorities are warning the public of a scam where a caller is looking to get your Social Security Number and even your money. The Federal Trade Commission's Office for Older Americans says they have been receiving reports about people pretending to be from the Social Security Administration.
Officials say in one version of the scam, the caller says your Social Security number has been linked to a crime (often, he says it happened in Texas) involving drugs or sending money out of the country illegally. He then says your Social Security number is blocked – but he might ask you for a fee to reactivate it, or to get a new number. And he will ask you to confirm your Social Security number. In other variations, he says that somebody used your Social Security number to apply for credit cards, and you could lose your benefits. Or he might warn you that your bank account is about to be seized, that you need to withdraw your money, and that he'll tell you how to keep it safe.

By and large, Oaxaca is the most ethnically diverse of Mexico's 31 states. The largest groups are Zapotec (347,000 people) and the Mixtec (241,000 people), but these Oaxaca people only make up two parts of one big complex puzzle.
With 16 different native communities formally registered as indigenous groups, about half of the Oaxaca population still speaks a native language. These indigenous groups are well defined through language and dialect, rituals, customs, cosmogony, food habits, etc. But researchers and historians suggest that this linguistic categorization is misleading largely because most Oaxaca people identify closely more with their community or their village than with their ethnolinguistic affiliation.
The roots of the the Zapotecs and the Mixtecs stretch deeply into Oaxaca's early Mesoamerican period. They live in their fertile valleys and mountain enclaves, and a lot of the early settlers harvested beans, chocolate, corn, tomatoes, squash, chili, gourds, and pumpkin. They also got their food from the rivers with a wide range of fish.
In addition to the Zapotec and Mixtec Indians, the following indigenous groups have also lived and thrived throughout the present-day Oaxaca: Amuzgos, Chatinos, Chinantecos, Chocho, Chontales, Cuicateco, Huave, Ixcatecos, Mazatecos, Mixes, Popoloco, Tacuates, Trique, Zoque.

How to speed up your website with gzip compression
Compressing your content saves bandwidth and improves render time, particularly on devices with slow internet connections but it also reduces load on your server. While it does take some amount of computer power to compress files on the fly, you save much more power by having your server doing fewer things at once. It takes a lot less time to transfer files that are smaller. Your server is therefore, at any given time, maintaining far fewer open connections. There really is no down-side to enabling some form of HTTP compression.
If you don't have GZIP compression enabled, there are a couple ways you can go about enabling it on your webserver.
<ifModule mod_gzip.c> mod_gzip_on Yes mod_gzip_dechunk Yes mod_gzip_item_include file .(html?|txt|css|js|php|pl)$ mod_gzip_item_include handler ^cgi-script$ mod_gzip_item_include mime ^text/.* mod_gzip_item_include mime ^application/x-javascript.* mod_gzip_item_exclude mime ^image/.* mod_gzip_item_exclude rspheader ^Content-Encoding:.*gzip.* </ifModule>
The second way to enable Gzip compression is by editing your .htaccess file. Most shared hosts use Apache, in which you can simply add the code below to your .htaccess file. You can find your .htaccess file at the root of your WordPress site via FTP.
Ensure to add the these lines at the bottom of the .htaccess file.
if the above methods are not worked, simply add this line to the top of your PHP documents:
<? ob_start("ob_gzhandler"); ?>
It has to be inserted before any content is outputted. It's not as efficient as mod_deflate, but it still works well and saves a ton of bandwidth and processor power.
And that's it!
You can test the result directly with your browser developer's tool (inspector), or by using some online tools such as: HTTP Compression Test. Just enter your site's URL, and it will tell you if it is actually gzipped, and if it is, you will see the impressive compression ratio.

Plenum Healer: offering metaphysical healing

88.11 Questioner: I'm sorry. Go ahead. If you meant to continue, continue. If not, I'll ask a question.
Ra: I am Ra. We wished to state, thirdly, that once the instrument is aware that the picture-taking will be performed, that during the entire picture-taking, whether before or after the working, the instrument be required to continuously respond to speech, thus assuring that no trance is imminent.
90.12 Questioner: Was there a reason for choosing the forms that have evolved upon this planet and, if so, what was it?
Ra: I am Ra. We are not entirely sure why our Logos and several neighboring Logoi of approximately the same space/time of flowering chose the bipedal, erect form of the second-density apes to invest. It has been our supposition, which we share with you as long as you are aware that this is mere opinion, that our Logos was interested in, shall we say, further intensifying the veiling process by offering to the third-density form the near complete probability for the development of speech taking complete precedence over concept communication or telepathy. We also have the supposition that the so-called opposable thumb was looked upon as an excellent means of intensifying the veiling process so that rather than rediscovering the powers of the mind the third-density entity would, by the form of its physical manifestation, be drawn to the making, holding, and using of physical tools.
66.6 Questioner: Now, a Wanderer who has an origin from fifth or sixth density can attempt such a healing and have little or no results. This indicates to me that there is some function of the activated body, since the— can you tell me what the Wanderer has lost and why it is necessary for him to regain certain balances and abilities to perfect his healing ability?
Ra: I am Ra. You may see the Wanderer as the infant attempting to verbalize the sound complexes of your peoples. The memory of the ability to communicate is within the infant's undeveloped mind complex, but the ability to practice or manifest this, called speech, is not immediately forthcoming due to the limitations of the mind/body/spirit complex it has chosen to be a part of in this experience.
So it is with the Wanderer which, remembering the ease with which adjustments can be made in the home density, yet still, having entered third density, cannot manifest that memory due to the limitations of the chosen experience. The chances of a Wanderer being able to heal in third density are only more than those native to this density because the desire to serve may be stronger and this method of service chosen.

Do I get to attend a talk?
This year at West I am hoping to attend a couple of talks. There are a few that are particularly interesting to me. The first is: PostgreSQL and Node.JS. Granted I am biased because it is one of my team members speaking but this is a truly interesting thing that she is working on. The ability to write postgresql driven Javascript applications using node.js is 100% buzzword compliant and useful.
Of course this also coincides with the recent Alpha release of the driver which can be forked or pulled from its github home..
If you are up for it, you could also talk to Aurynn in person about the project either on irc in #postgresql or at PostgreSQL Conference West 2010.

I scoop the complaining cat into my arms and cradle it like a baby. Oliver stands outside the kitchen door, throwing the mince meat balls out onto the lawn. One magpie appears, then two, three, swooping in on the easy breakfast. More magpies swoop from the sky until the lawn is dotted with them. Oliver throws the last ball and comes inside.
What follows is a fairly predictable falling in love story with the added humour of Duncan's mixture of disbelief and jealously over his idol "fancying" his now ex-girlfriend. O'Dowd plays his classic loveable type but with a sheen of wanker that makes you feel thoroughly uncomfortable and like the world is spinning off kilter.
Her eldest daughter picks up the cake tin and takes it inside. She puts her son down and he toddles after them. She passes her mother in the doorway. "Typical of him to leave it on the verandah like that."

"It's a water rat," I say to Hannah, but she probably already knows that. The rat pulls itself up onto the boardwalk and rests its little hands on the hunk of bread. Its stomach bulges. Hugo takes a nibble and then drags the bread down into the rocks. The white tip of his tail flashes.
I do have one gripe about this film, one scene that makes me gag. Troy, Neil and Neil's mum Angie (the brilliant Kate Mulvany) play "Canola Bowls" which consists of them frolicking in a bright yellow canola crop playing a DIY version of ten pin bowling. Angie even has a sprig of canola tucked behind her ear like a frangipani. This would never happen because canola stinks worse than a pig truck going through town and is three-quarters of the reason I rarely leave the confines of the city. But don't let that stop you from going to see this absolute gem of a film.
The living room looked out over Elgin Street. Her flat was flanked by an Indian restaurant and a car park. The boobs the chalk were referencing could only be hers. She flung open the window and leant out, as if the scent of the chalk writer still hung on the air and she could sniff them out.
The centre of the universe is starting to combust.

On 30th August 2012, a Jury will select the best works of the 'Z krosna do Krosna' 7th International Artistic Linen Cloth Biennial. The First Exhibition connected with the Awards ceremony will take place one day later in the Art Exhibition Centre in Krosno.
What is the nature of a this year's contest edition? Has traditional weaving been dominated by contemporary artistic tendencies? The First Exhibition of the 7th International Artistic Linen Cloth Biennial in Krosno contains not only an answer to these questions but first of all, it has an artistic message that can make its receiver more sensitive, having an effect on his all senses.
In the November 2010 the Craft Museum in Krosno organized a conference 'The weaving traditions of crossborder - Poland and Slovakia' which was a part of project realized in the Crossborder Cooperation Programme, the Republic of Poland the Republic of Slovakia 2007-2013. Thanks to this program the 6th International Artistic Linen Cloth Biennial was organized and we could propagate biennial in Slovakia, as well as present our exhibition in Slovakian art galleries and also establish new contacts letting to compare Polish craft and industrial linen production with Slovakian one.
However, in materials published in the beginning of 2011 was a lack of information about contemporary artistic linen cloth in Slovakia. Despite those contacts as mentioned above and discussions (sometimes even having disputs) about the history of this artistic expression in Slovakia, I noticed that we could not encourage more Slovakian artists to take a part in this years edition of biennial. In the 7th International Artistic Linen Cloth Biennial participate 77 artists, citizens of: Czech Republic, Japan, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia, Turkey and Ukraine. The most numerous group of artists are our natives - Polish artists. The Ukrainian artists with their 'ascetic' several years participation come in second, than artists from Lithuania, Japan, Turkey, Czech Republic and Slovakia.
The straight majority of works sent to Krosno are weaving masterpieces, where the craft proficiency in weaving determines artist's statement. Works were made by 'the old' methods such as: gbelin tapestry, plain weave, jacquard, point lace and by those method named 'artist's own technique'. Artists presented spare textiles, texture, openwork fabric, relief as well as fiber and fabric compositions using methods such as: applique, embroidery, collage, gluing and lacing.
It is imposing how many polish artists participate 7th International Artistic Linen Cloth Biennial. The number of applications and the variety of works is reference to the 60's, when textile was popular. Weaving artistic work became the separated field of fine arts and the fiber was elevated to the artistic textile with so many options to be used. Since 1962 the valuable Experimental Weaving Studio annual exhibition have been organized in Warsaw. Polish textile gains worldwide acceptance thanks to : Magdalena Abakanowicz, Krystyna Wojtyna-Drouet, Ada Kierzkowska, Maria Teresa Chojnacka, Kaja Gidaszewska, Jolanta Owidzka, Jadwiga Zaniewicka - Polish artists. I feel honoured by the participation of some of those artists in our biennial and because of their works in our museum's collection. The next edition of our biennial shows that textile is an important field of fine arts for artists, even for those who work with it additionally. The works sent to Krosno present: the artists ability to expose the weave, dyeing, sewing up and painting a linen cloth, combination of linen and glass, mineral or wood as well as spare compositions made from fiber.
I hope that this years and upcoming editions of 'Z krosna do Krosna' International Artistic Linen Cloth Biennial will provide us with new technological and workshop concepts and new and fresh artistic expressions.

Gucci is an Italian luxury fashion brand, which was founded by Guccio Gucci in 1921. Guccio Guci was an immigrant hotel worker in Paris and later on in London. He became impressed by all the beautiful and luxurious baggage that his guests brought to the hotels. After he returned to his birthplace Florence, he started his own shop where he sold fine leather goods. Nowadays, Gucci is the second most popular fashion brand after Balenciaga according to Business of Fashion. The brand is known for its simplicity and style. After designing many beautiful bags, they released the Gucci Dionysus for the Fall/Winter 2015 Collection. This super popular bag is an absolute must-have. Thinking about buying this beauty? Read this article and we are sure you will come to a decision.
In January 2015, Alessandro Michele got appointed as the new creative director of Gucci. During the Men's Fall/Winter Collection of 2015-2016, Alessandro revealed his new direction for Gucci on the runway. This especially showed during the Women's Fall/Winter 2015-2016 runway collection. Alessandro's new vision was a real boost for the brand. Many other high fashion brands experienced financial losses in the last couple of years, because they lost the interest of their target audience. Gucci on the other hand, gained a lot of customers because of the new fresh ideas in combination with some vintage flair.
The Gucci Dionysus bag is a combination of 'Old' Gucci and 'New' Gucci and comes in many different styles and prints. For example, most of the bags have the authentic "GG" Supreme monogram canvas pattern and are combined with some suede details. The most recent collections are even more delicate, because they have included embroideries of birds, bees, flowers and many other iconic Gucci symbols. The bag is named after the Greek God Dionysus. According to Greek mythology Dionysus was the god of agriculture, fertility, wine, life, pleasure and dance and of immortality. The Dionysus bag has many different features such as a tiger head closure in antique silver hardware, four pockets and an internal compartment with a zipper, a sliding chain strap so you can carry the bag on your shoulder or as a handbag, suede lining and hand-painted edges.
Because the bag is available in so many different prints, there is always a bag that fits you best! Are you someone that loves to stand out in the crowd? Then go for one of the limited editions. These versions have bright colors and designs and are really unique. Are you someone that just wants to invest in a beautiful bag? Then go for the original version, simple and elegant just as we are used from Gucci. The Gucci Dionysus is the perfect bag for every occasion and definitely worth the money. The prices start around €1550,- for a small version, but can run up to a couple of thousands for a limited edition. The only negative thing that could be said about the bag is that it is quite heavy. Have you made a decision on buying this bag? Check out Designer-Vintage.com and maybe you will find the Gucci Dionysus for less than its original price!

All life needs water as it is the world's most precious resource, fueling everything from the food you eat, to the cotton you wear, to the energy you depend upon. Freshwater habitats such as rivers and watersheds are home to an incredible proportion of the world's biodiversity. Watersheds provide valuable ecosystem resources including: filtering and recharging wells and
Climate events, population growth
Protecting fresh water cannot happen alone, and
One of the organizations that CRUSA supports is Restoring our Watershed, ROW, which focuses on restoring the watershed around the Nandamojo river, on 29,000 acres of land on Costa Rica's northwest coast in the province of Guanacaste.
Educational programs developed by ROW helped the residents of Guanacaste to better understand the impacts to their land and vegetation following the 7.6 magnitude earthquake near Nicoya in September of 2012. Changes needed to be made because the entire peninsula shifted and rose several meters, damaging water wells and aquifers and creating water shortages in rivers that previously were full all year round. ROW provided training to restore properties into healthy and resilient ecosystems, by educating the residents about reforestation, and which species of trees and vegetation to plant in order to manage erosion.
The ROW organization is led by American environmentalists, Tom Peiffer
The objective of this organization is to ensure the long-term water resources through the use of vegetation that produces moisture and filters rain water along the Nandamojo basin, which extends from the communities of April 27 to Junquillal, in the province of Guanacaste. ROW also provides funding, so the residents can enclose and protect the reforested banks of the rivers from grazing animals.
Additionally, they encourage the planting of trees, because the trees create moisture and suspended water particles in the air. Then the water particles form clouds, and the moisture from the newly planted vegetation attracts clouds to form near the ground and then the rain propagates the new plantings.
As part of their work, the ROW environmentalists locate suitable trees and determine when and where to collect their seeds, and then germinate and plant them in the association's Green House, where there are 5,000 plants of 20 different species. Some of the plants from the Green House are given to residents to plant on their own properties, and the environmentalists also plant some themselves in locations where new plantings are
Additionally, ROW encourages residents to plant vetiver grass for the conservation of soil and water. The vetiver roots are up to three times deeper than the height of the grass, and the roots allow water to infiltrate easily into the soil.
ROW is supported by donations, community activities, and grants from organizations like CRUSA and the Guanacaste Community Fund, GCF.
The GCF is a community foundation for
The following are several sustainable projects created and managed by ROW to help improve the communities around the Nandamojo river watershed.
Nandamojo Valley Chamber of Commerce – Founded as a way to unite the local residents, community organizations and businesses to participate together in projects for a sustainable future. In addition to the towns and villages within the watershed, the chamber's area of influence includes the adjacent communities of Playa Callejones, Los Pargos, Playa Negra and Playa Avellanas. The chamber has grown to include 45 local businesses and community organizations.
Watershed Ecological Blue Flag Committee – The Ecological Blue Flag program is a national initiative aimed at providing incentives for the protection of water resources. The Nandamojo watershed was one of 26
Association Life Verdiazul – AVIVE – This project funded by the World Wildlife Fund, and works to monitor and protect marine turtles, especially the leatherback that is in danger of extinction. Now AVIVE is an independent non-profit organization that performs important outreach activities and environmental education within the local communities.
Save Monkeys Association –Is dedicated to reforestation, and the creation of biological corridors and bridges for monkeys over streets and highways in order to better harmonize development with the local population of Howler monkeys.
Friends of Diria – A group of concerned stakeholders from Santa Cruz organized themselves to protect the Diriá National park, which encompasses 5,400 hectares of primary and secondary dry tropical forests.
Bees For Trees – Provides loans for families to begin beekeeping operations and in exchange the landowners agree to reforest 10% of their land. The families repay their loans with honey that they produce and it is sold to pay for the costs of the reforestation. You can watch this short video to understand how the program works.
Riparian Corridor Project – This project was launched in 2015 to renew critical riparian forests along 13 kilometers of the Nandamojo corridors main channel stretching from the estuary to the community of Rio Seco. They mapped the corridor's current vegetation, thermal uplift, and land tenure in priority reforestation areas to develop a strategy for restoration with appropriate species and plantings, utilizing profits from the Bees for Trees program to pay landowners an incentive for protecting and restoring riparian areas on their farms.
La Norma Reforestation Project – In 2017, ROW launched their largest reforestation project to date, through a partnership with Hacienda La Norma, where they took on the challenge of replanting a 30-acre cattle pasture, located in the foothills near the confluence of the Nandamojo rivers three main tributaries. The site is an important area for the recharge of aquifers and waterways, and the project began by planting about 700 tree saplings, using a mix of native species that provide multiple benefits for fauna, flora and the local communities.
ROW supports practical, hands-on education and is actively engaged in demonstrating sustainable land use practices and strategies, that the average resident can use to improve their land and in turn, the watershed. Currently ROW educational initiatives include the following;
- The Hojita Verde monthly newsletter, distributed via email and available in print at local outlets.
- Presentations and workshops that are given at local elementary and secondary schools as well as community events.
- A scholarship program that enlists high school students as environmental ambassadors.
- An internship program for college students so they can work together with Tom Peifer, an ecologist with over a decade of experience in neotropical permaculture, sustainable agriculture and organic gardening.
- Academic programs offered in collaboration with the University of Vermont, and the Yestermorrow Design/Build School.
- Programs in conjunction with the Sea Turtle Conservation Project to develop internships and volunteer opportunities.
For more information about educational opportunities, you can email the director of operations, Ann Marie.
