Saudi Arabia to behead disabled man arrested after protests
The Saudi authorities have sentenced a young disabled man to beheading in relation to his alleged attendance at protests, it's emerged.
Munir Adam, 23, was arrested in 2012 in the wake of protests in the country's Eastern Province. He was tortured by Saudi police into 'confessing' to involvement in protests. Munir has impairments to both his sight and his hearing, following an accident as a young child. Despite medical records that confirmed his disability – and a doctor's warning that further trauma could worsen his injuries – police beat Munir badly that he lost all hearing in one ear.
Munir was sentenced to death in the Kingdom's secretive Specialised Criminal Court, in which three juveniles – Ali al Nimr, Dawood al Marhoon and Abdullah al Zaher – also received death sentences in relation to protests. Munir was forced to write his own defence after he was prevented from speaking to a lawyer. Facing charges that included using his mobile phone to organize protests, Munir recanted his 'confession', saying that he had only signed statements under torture. He denied the charges, telling the court that he comes from a poor family and had never even owned a mobile phone.

We built a vacation house near our city for us and also to rent it out. With 4 bedrooms, looking rustic, our guest house named Chalet Voronet is made with love and has parts of us in there. With the help of two great architects we tried to make it the way we like it.
For the bedrooms I made knitted blankets to match the bathroom model tiles. It also matches the bedroom furniture, which has the same tile model from the bathroom.
It is 160 cm long and 80 cm wide. I bought the yarn online from a Romanian small factory. I was very happy with the color of the yarn. Has blue and brown, the colors from the tiles.
Yarn: 50% acrylic, 50% wool, 100 g, 80 m
It's straight, old fashion knitting. Make breaks because it will get hard for your hands, especially when it starts to get bigger.
I used double strands of yarn to make it look chunkier. My son saw them and wanted one for him too, so after I finish all 4 of them I made one for him. I used 1 strand of yarn to make it lighter. He is so happy. He calls it "my baby" and he sleeps with his blanket all the time.
We have to take it with us everywhere.
So cast 180 stitches.
Row 1: knit
Row 2: knit
Row 3: knit
Easy and beautiful.

I love carrots – after parsnips, they are my favorite root vegetable (apart from potatoes, sweet potatoes, and those kinds of tubers) to roast. Whenever I see crudités, I head for the carrots first. I've eaten more than my share of carrots at recital receptions, and I never tire of them. I do find packaged "baby carrots" to be a bit amusing – big carrots whittled down to become small carrots (I have no idea how they do it exactly). Actual baby carrots right out of the ground are a totally different creature and are sweet like candy.
I made a carrot cake the other day, from Heidi Swanson's 101 Cookbooks site. It's a wonderful cake, very earthy and sweetened with bananas and dates – there's no refined sugar (or unrefined sugar, actually – it's just fruit sweetened) in this carrot cake. It's one of my favorite things about this cake.
I did make a maple syrup sweetened mascarpone frosting for it, but after tasting the whole shebang, I found it made the whole thing too sweet, so I scraped a lot of it off. There's only a thin layer now, and it's perfect.
After I made this carrot cake, I had a bunch of carrots left over, so I decided to make soup out of them. I whipped up this cream of carrot soup the other day and it turned out to be simply amazing. It's basically carrots and onions cooking in milk and then pureed. Cooking vegetables in milk and pureeing them is one of my base recipes – it works well with broccoli, cauliflower, root vegetables, and even dark leafy greens.
My bet is that one could make this dairy free by using homemade almond milk in place of the cow's milk. Carrots and almonds go so well together. Maybe garnishing the soup with dukkah would be nice in that case, too!
Cream of Carrot Soup
1/4 white onion, preferably organic, chopped
carrots, preferably organic, washed and grated enough to make 1.5 cups
1 tbs unsalted grass-fed butter (I like using Kerrygold)
1 tbs extra virgin olive oil
juice from 1/2 orange
1/2 tsp coarse sea salt/kosher salt
1/4 tsp Aleppo pepper/red pepper flakes
2 c. whole milk (mine is raw, but any kind of grass-fed milk would work just fine)
salt and pepper to taste
whole milk yogurt (I used raw yogurt, but regular whole milk yogurt would work, as would strained yogurt)
za'atar (optional, but delicious; fresh thyme leaves would be an alternative)
Melt butter in a medium saucepan, then add the chopped onion. Cook for a few minutes until softened, and add the grated carrots. Cook for a few minutes until they soften, too.
Add the olive oil and stir until combined. Squeeze half the juice of the orange (so, juice from 1/4 of an orange) onto the onions and carrots. Add salt and sprinkle on the Aleppo pepper.
Add the milk and combine everything in the pan together. Turn the heat down on low (do not let this mixture boil), put a lid on the pan, and simmer for 20-30 minutes until everything is soft. Note: you may have to place the lid on the pan at an angle if things are too hot, to let the steam out, and so as to not cause over-boiling (milk burns easily and smells terrible when it does).
Take the pan off the heat and blend everything in the pot with a stick blender (you could do this with a regular blender, too, but it's just more work). Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Ladle into bowls and top with yogurt and za'atar (optional) to taste and squeeze a little more orange juice onto the soup.
Serves 1-2 people.

A lot of life is about the simple, easy things to make it easier and I have found that coffee filters are an item that have lots of wonderful uses!
- Cover anything cooking in the microwave (butter, soup etc) from exploding all over.
- Use as a drip catcher for children pop a popsicle stick down in center and voila you have a drip catcher while they lick away!
- Use a coffee filter on popcorn night as a bowl and perfect to catch the oil!
- Blotting oil off your face!
- Separate nice plates from touching slide a filter between them 😊

Again, federal vs presidential character
For the umpteenth time in the life of the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government, alleged lopsided composition of the bodies in charge of national security and defence has come under fire. This is not a good discussion point at this time but it has become recurrent as it has not been addressed by the authorities. It crops up regularly like a sore thumb. This newspaper has repeatedly urged the authorities to pay attention to the political importance of the subject (the national question) even within the context of our complex diversity as the constitution too addresses it aptly– as 'federal character' that must be respected by the leadership at all times.
Which was why it was not a surprise, after all, when senators from the South-east geopolitical zone the other day protested the non-representation of the zone in both the National Defence Council (NDC) and the National Security Council (NSC). The NDC and NSC are advisory bodies on public security. A motion by the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) Senator Victor Umeh and supported by Peoples' Democratic Party (PDP) Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe had called on President Buhari to, for the purpose of equity as well as in fulfillment of the federal character principle stipulated in the constitution, appoint an officer from the South-East as a Service Chief.
Such appointment will automatically make the appointee a member of both the NDC and the NSC and, this, in the opinion of Umeh would alleviate South-easterners' "feelings of isolation and neglect."
The prayer of the distinguished senator failed however because the lawmakers could not reach a consensus on the motion and it was merely "noted". The deputy leader of the Senate, APC Senator Bala Ibn Na'Allah reportedly opposed the motion on the argument that "it has never been a deliberate (policy of any government since 1999 to exclude any section of the country in appointments." Senator Barau Jibrin contradicted Umeh to say that indeed, Foreign Affairs Minister Godfrey Onyeama is a member of the National Security Council. This is unhelpful sophistry.
It is a pity that, on the very sensitive matter of equitable representation in federal appointments, this administration has obdurately disrespected the letter and spirit of the provisions of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended).
As this newspaper had previously noted on the same subject matter, some sections of the constitution enjoin broad inclusiveness in such appointments. Specifically, Chapter II (14)(3) states that, "The composition of the government of the Federation or any of its agencies and the conduct of its affairs shall be carried out in such a manner as to reflect the federal character of Nigeria and the need to promote national unity, and also to command national loyalty, thereby ensuring that there shall be no predominance of persons from a few state or from a few ethnic or other sectional groups in that government, or in any of its agencies."
Preceding this provision, Section 2 (c) demands of any government in power that, "the participation by the people in their government shall be ensured…" Similarly, Section 15((4) stipulates that "the State shall foster a feeling of belonging and of involvement among the various peoples of the Federation to the end that loyalty to the nation shall override sectional loyalties." The national ethics includes, in Section 23 "Social Justice"; this echoes a fundamental objective and directive principle of state policy in Section 14(1) that "The Federal Republic of Nigeria shall be a State based on the principles of democracy and social justice." Social justice, it is necessary to state, is simply put, the equitable distribution among members and segments of society of the available resources, opportunities and privileges. Social justice is therefore, according to the subsisting constitution, commanded as both an ethos, and a "characteristic spirit" and a pillar of structure of the Nigerian State.
Not done, the guiding document for the governance of the Nigerian State obligates "every citizen" in (Section 24(c) to, "respect the dignity of other citizens and the rights and legitimate interest of other, and live in unity and harmony and in the spirit of common brotherhood."
Besides, it is for this purpose that Nigeria as a plural, multi-ethnic, multi-religious and multicultural society, the drafters of the constitution repeatedly employ clauses, words and phrases that not only urge sensitivity to, and respect for this diversity, but encourage that both leader and citizens build on the strength and benefits derivable therefrom. Plural societies, including even the advanced modern democracies design their peculiar mechanisms to achieve inclusiveness that no one is left in the cold. This explains the constitutional provision for a "federal character" interpreted to mean "the distinctive desire of the peoples of Nigeria to promote national unity, foster national loyalty, and give every citizen of Nigeria a sense of belonging to the nation…"
To this egalitarian end, a Federal Character Commission is in place to, among other functions, "work out an equitable formula subject to the approval of the National Assembly, for the distribution of all cadres of posts in the public service of the Federation and of the states, the armed forces of the Federation, the Nigeria Police Force, and other government security agencies, government-owned companies and parastatals of the states."
Even if no government has ever achieved the lofty aims intended in the constitution, in this connection, there is a sense in which it can be claimed that the current government appears the most cynically unconcerned about the constitutional obligations of government to reflect the federal character in public appointments. Carrying about this way, in complete disregard for the letter and the spirit of pluralism and federalism, the Buhari administration allows itself to be distracted needlessly by group and sectional complaints that it can do without, that it can resolve so simply. Is it arrogance of power? No one can say why this government has chosen to go down a nepotistic and self-limiting.
The phrase Federal Character was first used by the late General Murtala Ramat Muhammed in his address to the opening session of the Constitution Drafting Committee on Saturday, October 18, 1975. Federal Character of Nigeria, according to the CDC's report of 1977, refers to the distinctive desire of the peoples of Nigeria to promote national unity, foster national loyalty and give every citizen of Nigeria a sense of belonging to the nation notwithstanding the diversities of ethnic origin, culture, language or religion which may exist and which it is their desire to nourish, harness to the enrichment of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
The Federal Character principle has its root in proneness for fairness. The 50 wise men who drafted the 1979 Constitution understood that disposition. They justified the entrenchment of the federal character principle in our constitution using the following words: 'There had in the past been inter-ethnic rivalry to secure the domination of government by one ethnic group or combination of ethnic groups to the exclusion of others. It is therefore essential to have some provision to ensure that the predominance of persons from a few states or from a few ethnic or other sectional groups is avoided in the composition of government, in the appointment or election of persons to high offices in the state…'
Therefore, whimsical violation of the principle of federal character is not only a bad precedent, but also a potent demonstration that government does not care about the organic law of the land. This is not a good commentary on the way our current leaders claim they are setting blocks for nation building at this time.
On the whole, it is curious too why the Federal Character Commission has never questioned the actions of those in authorities on this serious constitutional breach. That too is a failure of character of the Federal Character Commission.
We can only remind President Muhammadu Buhari on whose desk the buck stops that he is on oath to, "strive to preserve the Fundamental Objectives and Directive Principles of State Policy contained in the Constitution…"
All told, the President should not allow his personal interest to influence in his official decisions. He, as father of the nation, should do right to all manner of people according to law, without fear or favour, affection or ill-will, and to devote himself to the service and well-being of the people of Nigeria.That is the only way he can command the respect of all and earn good judgment of history.

Christ is Risen from the dead. Blessed is his Resurrection!
" I have set the LORD always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
(Psalm 16:8)
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
In the early years of our Faith, the communities of followers of Jesus who gathered in
fellowship and worship—the Church—quickly spread. The number men and women followers
multiplied in great numbers. We read in the book of Acts (2:47) that "the Lord added to their number
daily those who were being saved." The Resurrection of Jesus, an unprecedented event in the history
of humanity, enlivened the spirit of the early Christians. That same spirit is guiding us today, once
again, to proclaim the good news of the Resurrection by singing:
Christ is Risen from the dead.
Blessed is his Resurrection!
Let us rejoice in the words of the Psalms of David: Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue
rejoices; my body also will rest secure, because you will not abandon me to the grave, nor will you
let your Holy One see decay." (Psalm 16:8-10)
It was not easy for the first Christians to believe in and understand the concept of the
Resurrection. When Jesus was transfigured on mount Tabor and "His face shone like the sun and his
clothes became as white as the light" (Matt 17:2), he told his disciples Peter, James and John to tell
no one what they had seen until the Son of Man had risen from the dead. The disciples were
"questioning what this rising from the dead might mean" (Mk 9:10).
Even after the Burial of Jesus, when Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone
had been removed from the entrance, she ran "to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus
loved, and said to them 'They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don't know where they
have put him!'" (John 20:1-2).
During the course of Jesus' preaching ministry there were already signs that showed his
power over death: He raised to life the son of the widow of Nain (Luke 7:11-17), the daughter of
Jairus (Mk 5:22-24, 35-43) and He raised Lazarus, who had been buried for four days (John 11.1-44).
However, the bodily Resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead was a completely different event like
no other. After his Resurrection, Jesus was no longer subject to the natural laws of this world, nor
was it possible to understand this new reality with mere human reasoning. He appeared to his
disciples when they were gathered together behind locked doors, but at the same time he would sit
and eat with them, and show them his wounds. As one great contemporary Christian thinker has said:
"the resurrection was not just about some deceased individual coming back to life at a certain point,
but that an ontological leap occurred, one that touches being as such, opening up a dimension that
affects us all, creating for all of us a new space of life, a new space of being in union with God".
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
In his letter to the Corinthians, St. Paul writes: "And if Christ is not risen, then our preaching
is in vain, and your faith is also in vain" (1 Cor 15:14). Indeed, is the proclamation that "Christ is
risen" relevant to us today? Why is the Resurrection so important?
When Jesus was falsely accused and sentenced to death on the cross, it might have appeared
as a humiliation, yet he willingly underwent this for our sake. "For the message of the cross is
foolishness for those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved, it is the power of God" (1 Cor
1:19). Through his crucifixion, "God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we
might become the righteousness of God" (2 Cor 5:21). However, following his Resurrection, Christ's
infinite power was made manifest. It is a profound power that ushers a new reality and is not subject
to the laws of this world. It is a reality that transfigures the corrupted world into perfection. It is a
kingdom, where there is no more death and corruption. The Resurrection ushers in a new Kingdom
that knows only the power of truth and love.
Today, we are called to take part and share the joy of the Resurrection. As St. Paul said: "We
have died with Christ and we believe that we shall live with him. For we know that Christ being
raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has dominion over him" (Rm 6: 8-9). This
means, as we identify with the suffering of Christ, we also share the joy of his Resurrection and the
assurance of a new life through his victory over death, as did his disciples and the multitudes saints.
Indeed, the history of the Armenian nation is a living testimony of this faith.
As St. Paul said: that I may know him and the power of his Resurrection, and may share his
sufferings becoming like him in his death, that if possible I may attain the resurrection from the dead"
(Phil 3: 10-11; cf. 2 Tm 2: 8-12). In order to see and understand this, we must open our spiritual
eyes. This is a matter of faith and only faith is what matters here. As we read in the New Testament,
"faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see" (Heb 11:1). In the Gospel
of John, we read: "Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As she wept, she bent over to look into the
tomb and saw two angels in white, seated where Jesus' body had been, one at the head and the other
at the foot. They asked her, 'Woman, why are you crying?' 'They have taken my Lord away,' she
said, 'and I don't know where they have put him.' At this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing
there, but she did not realize that it was Jesus. He asked her, 'Woman, why are you crying? Who is it
you are looking for?'" Mary thought he was the gardener. She said, "Sir, if you have carried him
away, tell me where you have put him, and I will get him." Jesus said to her, "Mary." She turned
toward him and cried out in Aramaic, "Rabboni!" (which means 'Teacher')" (John 20:11-16).
The glorified Jesus said: "See! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and
opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me." (Rev 3:20). Jesus will come
to us, if we long for him and our spiritual eyes are open.
May the grace of our Risen Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the
Holy Spirit be with you all.
Christ is Risen from the dead.
Blessed is his resurrection!

Tom Brady has an unlikely ally in his Deflategate fight with the NFL.
Jets cornerback Antonio Cromartie defended the Patriots quarterback on Thursday, saying Brady does not deserve to be suspended.
"If you look at the rules of anything messing with the football, the maximum fine I think is $25,000," Cromartie said. "It doesn't say you can go out and suspend anybody. The maximum fine is $25,000. To me, I just feel that he doesn't deserve the suspension. Maybe that's why he's taking them to court and doing everything now to get the suspension lifted."
Cromartie originally criticized NFL commissioner Roger Goodell for the suspension on ESPN's "First Take" and then reiterated the remarks to reporters after the Jets practice.
While Cromartie would not say whether he believes Brady is guilty or innocent when it comes to deflating footballs, he felt Goodell went overboard with the four-game suspension for Brady.
"I feel like at this point in time, the discipline he's put forth, he's stepped outside the rules and made his own rules," Cromartie said. "You can't make your own rules as you go."
Cromartie, who has been critical of Brady in the past, said he was unsure if Brady actually did mess with the footballs.
"I don't know. I'm not in that locker room. I haven't been over there," Cromartie said. "I'm just speaking from outside looking in and knowing the rules and the discipline that's applied to players with that situation. It's a $25,000 fine and right now it's just the point of Roger going outside of everything, outside the rules and making his own rules up."
The Jets don't benefit directly from Brady's suspension since they do not face the Patriots until Week 7, but Cromartie said he wants New England to be full strength for the whole season.
"I want to see New England at their best," he said. "Even though we don't play them until Week [7], I want them to be full strength and not have any excuses anyway."
Cornerback Darrelle Revis, who was Brady's teammate last year in New England, also commented on Deflategate, but was not quite as big a defender of Brady as Cromartie.
"I think it's dragged a little bit too far," Revis said on "First Take." "It's a little bit too much. I feel that he got the suspension of four games, and [he should] live with it. I don't know all the information. I don't know everything about the whole situation, but Tom, I know he's a competitor. I know he wants to win. It's unfortunate what's going on."
Revis revealed Brady addressed the Patriots about the controversy before the Super Bowl.
"After that game, going into the Super Bowl, Tom spoke to the team, and it seemed like he was very hurt about what was being said about Deflategate and what was said about him, and I think he just tried to clear the air in that moment," Revis said. "And then after the Super Bowl and we won, it just blew up into a bigger issue."
The Jets are waiting to hear from Goodell's office about defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson, after he was arrested last month for resisting arrest and traffic violations. Cromartie said he is not worried about Goodell giving Richardson, who is already suspended for four games for violating the league's substance abuse policy, a lengthy suspension.
"I think everything with Sheldon is going to go the way it needs to go," Cromartie said. "They'll handle it the right way. It's just unfortunate that the way everything has been going so far that [Goodell] does have full control of the discipline and everything else."

|Twins Scarlett (left) and Hazel (right) Del Rosario pose backstage with soprano Yasko Sato (Cio-Cio-San). The 7-year-old sisters alternated as Sorrow, Butterfly's child. Photo by Renee Rapier.
By Lauren Brigolin
Those who saw Madame Butterfly twice may have had the opportunity to experience dramatic performances by two sets of sopranos and tenors. But there was another another character who was double-cast—the child of Cio-Cio-San and Pinkerton's doomed romance. In Seattle Opera's recent production, this role of "Sorrow" was played by 7-year-old fraternal twins: Scarlett and Hazel del Rosario. The sisters shared the same black wig for their performances, which allowed them to transform into Butterfly's little boy.
|The twins getting a fitting for the wig they shared for the role of Sorrow. Photo by Liesl Gatcheco.
While the girls had performed in school plays, Butterfly was the first professional production they've been in together. The experience has clearly been one to remember; the girls practically explode with energy and excitement in describing their summer with the opera.
"It was amazing," says Scarlett, who performed with soprano Lianna Haroutounian. Hazel, whose favorite part was being spun in the air by "mom" Yasko Sato adds: "So fun! Once I got off the stage I screamed, 'fun!'"
The girls' father, DJ del Rosario, says each twin had their own take on the role—much of the blocking onstage came from their own impulses. For example, the girls got to choose whether they wanted to hug Pinkerton or Sharpless.
|Scarlett in costume as Sorrow with her sister, Hazel, backstage.
"Maestro (Carlo Montanaro) gave the girls an an opportunity to bow, something we didn't expect and have really been touched by. This is definitely their professional debut," DJ says.
Of course, learning the ropes of performing in an opera took some getting used to. Speaking about the rehearsal process, Hazel says, "I was trying to pretend there was an audience there. It was kind of scary."
|Hazel del Rosario (Sorrow) and Yasko Sato (Cio-Cio-San). Philip Newton photo
Scarlett also says she felt nervous backstage, not always being sure what to do. But then she discovered there was always someone on the cast or crew who was there to help her. After going through the entire process, it was clear that the girls are naturals—devotedly clinging to an anguished Cio-Cio-San, sweetly looking upon their caretaker, Suzuki.
"My favorite part has been to watch their confidence grow. To watch them feel the energy of McCaw filled. To watch them really perform and be in the moment," DJ says.
Of course, having one's children commit to being in Madame Butterfly was no small matter. With numerous rehearsals and eight performances, it represented a commitment for the entire family.
And yet, according to DJ: "It's really worth the time. We rearranged a lot of our lives for this and we're really happy we did it."

Message from the Angels ~ What's it like to be God?
Message from the Angels ~ What's it like to be God?
Hi Dear Friends!
This week, the angels guide us through an exercise to understand the true nature of God… and ourselves!
I'll share a few ideas about how you can experience that love more often. Enjoy a loving Valentine's gift to yourself!
Love you all!
♥ Ann
Message from the Angels
My dear friends, we love you so very much,
With a single act of will, you can dream up entire worlds in your imagination. You can imagine your perfect home, your perfect partner, your ideal life. You can be and do anything you like in these realms inside of you. You can fly, swim, play music, paint, write poetry, do great feats of strength, help thousands… for within the realms of your imagination, anything is possible. In your inner world you have no limits.
You can create a perfect and beautiful version of yourself as you know yourself now. You can create another version of yourself, living an entirely different, but also amazing life. You can get so happy with this exercise that you create numerous perfect versions of yourself, all doing different things, living in different ways, behaving differently. You love each and every one of these. You do not love one more than the other, for all are beautiful and perfect and living their own version of a perfect life.
Suppose one of you (still in your imagination) is a world traveler. Another lives in communion with nature in a beautiful cabin in the woods. Still another is a strong and kind Olympic athlete. Yet one more is a poet. You have created them in your imagination… and now you give them free will. You wonder what they will become, what they will do with their gift of freedom. You can't wait to see what each one will create! You sit back, observe, and simply love and support each and every one of them. They exist within you, and you exist within them.
Some of your characters use their free will in amazing ways you never dreamed or imagined. The Olympic athlete breaks new records and goes on to teach others about the power of the mind. The version of yourself living in a cabin in the woods invents new and wonderful ways to live in cooperation with the land. The poet sees love and life in ways so exquisite you can hardly believe that this character is you as well.
Sometimes, however, even in your inner paradise, these characters forget your original vision for them. The athlete starts to believe in limits and gets injured. You gently whisper… "Use your will to surrender to me for a moment and I will see you whole and healed." As they release their grip on thinking in terms of limitation and injury, you are allowed to assert your loving will and see them heal.
The person in the cabin becomes lonely and you gently whisper, "Stop focusing on being lonely. Get out and take the long walks in nature that you crave. Share openly with others all you have learned and you will find the most perfect and beautiful partner. I will imagine this for you." While you could easily imagine a partner simply appearing out of mid-air in their reality, this wouldn't fit with the tangible reality they have accepted. So you must guide them, whisper to them, help them overcome their resistance and then they will have the partner of their dreams.
The poet starts to wonder if anyone can see the world as beautifully as they and becomes despondent. You whisper… "The world needs your vision. You don't have a clue whose lives you have affected. Now that I know you want acknowledgment stop insisting you are lonely and misunderstood and then I can guide you towards those who will sing your praises. I am you. I want this for you because I created you and I love you."
Suppose one of these characters awakens, and hears your whispers. He or she says, "My goodness, I just heard guidance! I just felt an exquisite love! I am part of something so much larger. I wonder who I really am?" They go into a silent, deep space within themselves, and only through feeling, know the magnitude of your love for them." They hear your guidance. They feel your love. And you feel their love for you… the creations of your own mind have become their own persons and they love you. There is no feeling quite so exquisite as knowing your creation loves you in return!
In this fashion dear ones, you expand your understanding of who you are and all you can be. You love. You feel loved. You want harmony and the best life for each character you have created within you, for these are all versions of yourself. You know yourself to be far more than you ever dreamed you could be.
Now, dear ones, you understand God, for you are God's inner characters. You are God's dreams of one of countless perfect versions of itself, given free will, loved beyond reason, and always guided. Sit in silence at times and feel the magnitude of the love that you live within. You can never be without it.
God Bless You! We love you so very much.
— The Angels
Message from Ann…
Hi Everyone,
As I child I learned I was a creation of God. I never quite understood that. Perhaps God picked up a lump of clay, made a mini-me, and breathed life into it. Then he plopped me into my mommy as a tiny cell until I grew into a whole baby? That never quite felt right! Something in me always felt there was more to the story.
As I grew and started to understand the mystical nature of life, the very first thing that happened was that my ego resisted the notion that I was one of God's beautiful dreams. "No way! I don't live inside of anything! I'm real! Not made up!" …As if being dreamed up and loved by the creator of universes wasn't enough, my ego rebelled in a mighty way! I wanted to be important! I wanted to be special! I didn't want to be some puppet inside the Divine mind who was going to be jerked around if I didn't do what God wanted!" I never consciously thought those thoughts, I just witnessed the stirring of ego's illusions and resistance.
As I started to connect with this love that lives inside, however, the ego calmed down. It felt pretty blissful to surrender to the magnificent Presence that lives within all of us. It was mind blowing as I settled into the real understanding that our free will gives us the power to create whatever we wish.
It felt delicious to know I wasn't and could never ever be alone. I felt surrounded in love, grounded in love, swimming in love. In my most foul mood and loneliest moments, I realized I was simply lost in illusions… Love is and was always there, waiting for me to acknowledge it. I felt more "myself," not less, when I surrendered to this Presence. Life became so much easier.
Now my first go-to solution to all of life's challenges is to sit quietly, relax, and remind myself that I am enveloped in a love more powerful and vast that I can possibly imagine. I literally sit, breathe, and start to think about how magnificent it is to be embraced, created, and filled by a love so vast and magnificent that it moves oceans, creates stars, turns galaxies, and inhabits everything in the known and unknown universe.
Some say it takes years of meditation to reach this point. I have never meditated consistently. Some say it takes self sacrifice, special diets, certain disciplines, etc. to reconnect with the Creator's love. I say all it takes is the ability to bring yourself into the present moment, however you do that, and to connect with the energy of love, and then choose to keep focusing on it while it amplifies.
It is easier than we make it. Worthiness is not an issue. This love wants to reveal itself to us all. We just have to get our disbelief and doubts out of the way. I know… easier said than done, but it IS worth the work 🙂
Here are some pointers to understand God, and your true nature more deeply this week.
1. Imagine three versions of yourself all living amazing lives – anything you like. Then ask them what they would like to do next.
For example as I write this, I imagine one of me living in a beautiful dream home I've seen online near nature with views that expand my heart, doing more online classes and gazing, writing books, and teaching more. She wants to write more books and share all she knows.
There is another version living on the beach somewhere remote, eating mangoes, practicing mental mastery, and simply relaxing as I quietly meditate on the world's behalf… She tells me that what is up next is simply a nice walk in the jungle followed by hours of quiet explorations out of body and some painting… Painting? Really? That was unexpected!
You can go on and create as many version of you as you like! As you get to know them, you will also be getting to know your own deeper dreams. You will be relating to them as God relates to you.
2. Imagine loving each and every one of these characters
Just sit and feel your love for them, as strongly as you would for children if you have them, or your pets, or a prized creation. In your imagination surround the with love. Imagine them glowing with love. Imagine them living a beautiful life.
3. Now, sit quietly and feel God's love for you.
Now acknowledged that you are like one of these characters living within the Divine mind, swimming and breathing in love. Really look around your room until you are all there and full present. Think of someone or something you love until you feel love in your heart.
Now, shut your eyes. Breathe deeply and imagine a vast and magnificent energy of love coming up from deep within you, filling you, spilling over into your home, your life, every aspect of your existence. Enjoy the feeling.
Sitting inside of this Presence that dreams us into being and dreams entire universes might make you feel small at first… until you realize that this presence of love that lives within all things is You! Amazing, yes? Enjoy your magnificence!
Love you all!

The Individuals with Disabilities Act establishes accessibility tips for a lot of products. With all the decorative glass designs we offer, there's positive to be one to match your property's architectural type. Prime-high quality supplies, excellent subject service and non-compulsory upkeep program contribute to extended door life, low upkeep costs and maximum productivity. I was fascinated with glass doorknobs as a toddler and have put a couple of them in my house!
For your temperature-sensitive drinks, Viking fridges contain beverage facilities that come with tempered glass doors and horizontal shelves. Journey with me as we tour exterior glass doorways that vary from traditional and classic to mould and modern with vibrant colours and creative design that Picasso would have been pleased with. No matter your style, now we have your dream door here today. These cupboard knobs and pulls will create a captivating environment wherever they are positioned.
Glassdoor is probably the most clear jobs and recruiting market that is altering how individuals search for jobs and the way corporations recruit high talent. In these instances, the producer supplies plastic plugs to fill the unused hinge holes on the non-hinged facet of the door. Glassdoor has some fantastic resources for employers to answer particular complaints, which I extremely recommend – listed below are some articles with recommendation on learn how to reply authentically to Glassdoor opinions.
The sliding glass patio doors become fairly arduous to open in addition to sticky whereas the tracks get dirty or the wheels are out of adjustment. Your new storm door body might not cowl up all evidence of your previous storm door frame, comparable to paint lines and left over caulk. In case your nook backs onto another room – perhaps as a part of a peninsula – you can dispense with an official nook cabinet and use a standard cabinet dealing with away from the kitchen and accessed from the other facet. The picture above exhibits the outlet in the floor on the wall opposite the bookcase wall.
Aesthetic look is just not the only essential factor determining the best exterior door to your wants, as a result of high safety and finances are equally necessary. Mini greenhouses such as the Gardman Growhouses in three, four and 5 tier are very talked-about indeed as are the picket coldframes. Media cabinets or leisure centers consist of 1 large cabinet used for housing digital equipment.

TOP: Lipsy (similar)/ HANDBAG: Saint Laurent Betty (Uncloset)
It's winter, it's cold, and I still wanted to bring a warm and fresh look under the beautiful sun. The coldest month is about to leave us behind, and although spring isn't around the corner, I have that blossoming feeling inside!
I know, it's probably because I just came back from summer days in Brazil, or because we will have a family escape to the sun again very soon, or just because I'm feeling fresh and renewed this year! January blues says hi but does not get my attention that's for sure!
I can say this look represents how I'm feeling: it's delicate, feminine, elegant, and the pink colour is that happy touch or smile, let's say! (And don't be fooled by some pictures, this bag is as pink as it gets!)
Now I'm just hoping the sun comes out more often, me and the rest of England!!

Einstein's general theory of relativity challenges our classical understanding of gravity, space, and time. New technologies offer modern ways of teaching these abstract relativistic concepts.
Within project ReleQuant, I developed a digital learning environment about general relativity that brings Einstein's mind-boggling theory to physics classrooms.
The resources make innovative use of interactive and collaborative modes of learning and foster qualitative understanding of key concepts in general relativity.
The design of the learning environment is a result of iterative class room trials in collaboration with physics teachers to guarantee an authentic learning experience for students.
To familiarise teachers with our digital learning resources, I hold professional development workshops. Please get in touch to inquire about upcoming workshops.
Have you used our learning environment in your class room? Please let me know what you think. I would love to hear about your experiences with our resources!
If you want to find more useful material on teaching and learning of Einsteinian Physics, drop me a line or take a look at these educational projects:

The Olympus Pen E-P5 is a stylish modern-day take on an Olympus film camera from the 1960s, packed with new and improved features as well as a clever body design that enhances its handling, writes Tim Coleman. Read the Olympus Pen E-P5 review...
Olympus Pen E-P5 review
Olympus Pen E-P5 review – Our verdict
Image: I could get wide for this scene by using the 12mm f/2 lens. Its effective focal length is 24mm because of the four thirds system's 2x crop factor. Detail is lovely and crisp
Compared to its competition, the Olympus Pen E-P5 is certainly stylish, if on the expensive side, being one of the best-looking CSCs available. Thankfully, though, it handles just as well. Those who like to take manual control of their camera are spoilt for choice, with twin dials and a touchscreen providing a comprehensive level of user control. The camera is speedy, too, with quick start-up, fast AF and shutter speeds, and excellent flash support. As for the images, I experienced few surprises having already reviewed the Olympus OM-D E-M5.
Panasonic and Olympus now use a 16-million-pixel, four thirds sensor as standard. The four thirds system also has some fine glass now, and I am pleased with the images taken using the 45mm f/1.8 and 12mm f/2 lenses. Certainly in good light, detail is crisp, and even up to ISO 800 I am really pleased with my images. Like the OM-D, the E-P5 is one of the best CSC options available.
Olympus Pen E-P5 – Key features
The built-in pop-up flash is released manually using this catch. It has a class-leading flash sync speed of 1/320sec, while external flash units attached via the hotshoe enjoy a flash sync speed up to 1/250sec, which is again very impressive. The built-in flash has a guide number of 10m @ ISO 200 (GN 7m @ ISO 100).
As mentioned in the Build and handling section, this lever can change the function of the dials. As a default, the '1′ position is set for aperture/shutter speed, while the '2′ position changes the white balance/ISO.
The rear dial is placed close to the front dial, which makes the pair quick to operate together for changes to exposure, among other things.
Live-view magnification from 5x and up to 14x is possible using this button, which improves accuracy when using manual focus.
Battery/memory-card compartment
Located on the right of the underside of the camera, it is possible to open the battery/memory-card compartment without needing to remove the camera from most tripods.
