Preah Khan was built by King Jayavarman VII. It was built in 1191 and was dedicated to Bodhisattva Lokeshvara. Its name means "Sacred Sword". The temple was also built in order to honor his father. While another huge temple, Ta Prohm was to honor his mother.
It is a huge and highly decorative monastic complex full of carvings and passages. The best part of the temple complex is that it is less crowded and you may admire the works of Khmer artists with time in hand and also have a wonderful opportunity for photography. It was used by Buddhist monks as a monastery and an educational institution.

Back from the Rally
I left the [rally](http://www.bmwmoa.org/rally/rally06/) on Saturday at Maria's request and I'll post about the rally itself later. I packed out and was on the road a bit after noon. I rode Route 7 to 22A, caught VT-17W to cross into NY at Crown Point, 9N to Ticonderoga and then crossed Route 74 to hit the I87 slab for home. I was in bad weather before I got out of Vermont. By the time I got around the hippies in camper vans and the odd farm equipment to 22A, I knew it was going to suck. Not the worst riding weather I've seen but heavy rain, ponding water, gusting winds and poor visibility. The weather resistance of the 'stich completely failed- water behind the zippers, water puddling in my crotch, water ponding behind my knees and under my butt. Now I understand why someone shells out nearly $90 for a [Frogg Toggs suit](http://www.froggtoggs.com/proaction.htm). Despite that, I made fairly good time. Once I was good and soaked and accepted that it was of limited duration I eased into it and enjoyed it a bit, sort of like a kid splashing puddles. The GS had fresh Tourances with deep sipes and handled the water well. It was moderately warm and the winds were not too bad. It was unpleasant and my back, shoulders and arms are sore but all in all it I have ridden in worse conditions.

When You're the Worst fans sat down to watch the season premiere of the final season on Wednesday night, at first, they might have had a moment where they thought they were watching a completely different show. Jimmy (Chris Geere) and Gretchen (Aya Cash) are nowhere to be found and viewers are introduced to two singles in a '90's a video rental store. It isn't until later in the episode that it's revealed that what the audience is watching is Gretchen and Jimmy telling a wedding planner this elaborate (and totally false) story of how they met.
The episode was hilarious and trippy and tackled every rom-com trope out there, which is exactly what creator and executive producer Stephen Falk wanted to give the fans to start off the farewell season.
"FX has allowed me in the past to be a little risky and daring and I think you have to be in this peak TV era," Falk tells us. "[This episode] came out of a desire to give the audience something extra than just a typical episode and also out of my love from rom-coms. The show has always existed as a comment on rom-coms. It was always my desire to do a rom-com episode within our black-hearted, cynical show."
Tackling the final season of a show is a daunting task; writers want to give the audience a satisfying ending but they don't want that desire to come at the expense of their creative process. Falk tells us that he and the writers figured out where they wanted to end up and worked backwards, while also leaving room for "experimental stuff" throughout the season.
It was always my desire to do a rom-com episode within our black-hearted, cynical show.
While season five of You're the Worst will include interesting B-plots featuring Edgar (Desmin Borges) and Lindsay (Kether Donohue), the story will revolve around "looking at all the really byzantine, ritualist, complicated stuff that you have to go through to get married, but through the very specific lens of Jimmy and Gretchen."
Besides the burning question of "will they, won't they" get married, Falk teases a "mystery" that will start to unfurl in the first few episodes and continue to build throughout the season.
"The viewer doesn't know if it's an alternate reality or if it is a flash-forward or what we're witnessing, but as [Jimmy and Gretchen] are planning, or avoiding planning, the wedding, they are simultaneously building this mystery. And I think the answer to that mystery is both incredibly rewarding but kind of shocking and surprising but totally in keeping with exactly what Gretchen and Jimmy would do."

Following the recent resurgence of the dangerous "salt and ice challenge", a school in North Carolina is now warning parents about yet another deadly internet craze - the eraser challenge, which has also seen a resurgence over the past few months.
If it sounds familiar, that because it's not new. In fact, the eraser challenge may even have been around while you were at school.
In a post to their Facebook page, staff at East Iredell Middle School, asked parents to be vigilant about any burn marks sighted on their kids.
"The latest internet challenge is the "Eraser Challenge", the post reads, along with an accompanying photo of a wound sustained from the craze. "Kids are rubbing an eraser across their skin while having to do or say something. It's causing serious burns and we've seen several cases of this at EIMS."
In one version of the game, also referred to as the "ABC game", students recite the alphabet while rubbing their skin. They then compare their wounds when they reach the letter "z".
While the challenge may have been around for some time, students now have social media to broadcast - and compare - its horrendous "results".
In this edition of stupid things 6th graders talk each other into: The Eraser Challenge. The result: permanent scars. This made me very sad, but satisfied as the boy told me how badly his arm hurt many days later and how he would never try anything like that again. #6thgrade #kidstrystupidthings #eraserchallenge #ifeelsadforhim #missmillersworld
East Iredell Middle School isn't the only school concerned about the reappearance of the craze.
Warren Hills Middle School in Washington, New Jersey also shared a warning on their website on behalf of the school nurse and school counsellor.
"Lately we have seen several cases of "eraser burn",' the post reads. "You may be asking yourself, what is an eraser burn? Students get an eraser (on the end of a pencil or a chunk eraser) and rub it hard, back and forth on their own skin, or on the skin of another student, with a really fast motion and in the same place creating a serious burn."
Noting that it's not a new trend - and that it's one that seems to come and go - the school added that students are presenting with wounds to the top of their hands.
"They have admitted that the wounds are from eraser burns and they only did it on a dare or to prove they were tough, or because they thought of it as a joke," the warning continues.
The school also highlighted the dangers involved, noting that school erasers are typically " far from clean". As such, students are at risk of severe infection if they rub them against their skin.
"Once the wound begins to heal, they still have an opening (although scabbed) where other bacteria can enter the body and infect them," the school notes.
In 2015, a US teen was hospitalised in a critical condition after participating in the eraser challenge and contracting Strep A Toxic Shock.

|I Ching Kua:
Crowley: Mitigate energy with love; but let love devour all things. Courage, strength, energy and action, une grande passion. (BT p. 257)
Trump XI is another one of those cards that Aleister Crowley felt compelled to remake in his own image. What is particularly fascinating about the hypothesis that both the Tarot and the I Ching are derived from a common source is that even with Crowley's re-interpretation and the coloring that the traditional symbolism acquired when filtered through his nervous system, there is still an amazing amount of agreement among the images of the I Ching and Crowley's Tarot.
Crowley: ... formerly called Strength. But it implies far more than strength in the ordinary sense of the word. ... better to change the traditional title. Lust implies not only strength, but the joy of strength exercised. It is vigour, and the rapture of vigour. (BT p. 91-92)
In traditional decks a woman is seen to be either exercising a degree of control over or interacting peacefully with a lion. In Crowley's rendering the lion becomes a multi-faced beast and the woman, naked, is seen to be riding it with some pleasure. In correlating these kua with Crowley's trump I was pleased and somewhat shocked to find that both the traditional concepts of strength and Crowley's more idiosyncratic concept of lust are both represented in the kua. Let us first examine the traditional meaning.
The woman in the card is a particularization of the general concept of the feminine. She is shown dominating or taming a lion which is symbolic of the masculine, animal, and solar forces. The concept of strength is thus applied through the yin; over-ruling the yang. Whatever concepts one attaches to the yin or feminine, they are seen to predominate over their yang or masculine complement.
Wilhelm: (kua 9) This hexagram means the force of the small - the power of the shadowy - that restrains, tames, impedes. This hexagram presents a configuration of circumstances in which a strong element is temporarily held in leash by a weak element. (p. 40)
Kua 9, line 6: PERSEVERANCE BRINGS THE WOMAN INTO DANGER.
Wilhelm: (kua 9) The female principle, the weak element that has won the victory, should never persist in vaunting it - that would lead to danger. (p. 43)
Wilhelm:(kua 26) The CREATIVE is tamed by KEN KEEPING STILL. This produces great power, a situation in contrast to that of the ninth hexagram, HSIAO CH'U, THE TAMING POWER OF THE SMALL, in which the CREATIVE is tamed by the gentle alone. (p. 103-104)
Crowley: (the) energy (described in the card) is of the primitive, creative order; ... (BT p. 95)
Some of the attributes of this card listed by Crowley are: strength and courage (implying danger) and action. The I Ching includes the concepts of gentleness and patience as part of the repetoire necessary for the process of taming the creative energies.
Wilhelm: (kua 5) The idea of waiting is further suggested by the attributes of the two trigrams - strength within, danger in front. Strength in the face of danger does not plunge ahead but bides its time, whereas weakness in the face of danger grows agitated and has not the patience to wait. (p. 24)
The I Ching says all that Crowley says and more. A more complete set of options is made available in the I Ching; including a complete reversal of the masculine - feminine roles, demonstrating the need to control the feminine energies when the time demands.
Wilhelm: (kua 11) Inside, at the center, in the key position, is the light principle; the dark principle is outside. Thus the light has a powerful influence, while the dark is submissive. (But the effect is the same, i.e.) When the spirit of heaven rules in man, his animal nature also comes under its influence and takes its appropriate place. (p. 48-49)
Crowley says that the magical power of this trump is: Power of training animals. In "THE TAMING POWER OF THE GREAT" three lines speak of animals that have been tamed in one way or another.
line 3: A GOOD HORSE THAT FOLLOWS OTHERS. line 4: THE HEAD BOARD OF A YOUNG BULL.
Wilhelm: Before a bull's horns grow out, a head board is fastened to its forehead, so that later when the horns appear they can do no harm.
line 5: THE TUSK OF A GELDED BOAR.
Wilhelm: A boar's tusk is in itself dangerous, but if the boar's nature is altered, the tusk is no longer a menace. (p. 106)
There is one more animal to add to this symbolic menagerie. The Hebrew letter assigned to this card is TETH, which means "a snake." The snake is a powerful symbol and it has many associations with a number of concepts. As a reptile the snake is cognate with the dragon. In the symbolism of the I Ching, the kua of "THE CREATIVE" has as its associated animal, the dragon. Crowley describes the energy of trump XI as being of "the primitive, creative order." All of the kua in this group have the trigram of THE CREATIVE as the lower trigram. Here is how Wilhelm describes the relationship of the dragon with the kua of "THE CREATIVE."
Wilhelm: (kua 1 "THE CREATIVE" line 1) In china the dragon has a meaning altogether different from that given it in the Western world. The dragon is a symbol of the electrically charged, dynamic, arousing force that manifests itself in the thunderstorm. In winter this energy withdraws into the earth; in the early summer it becomes active again, appearing in the sky as thunder and lightning. As a result the creative forces on earth begin to stir again. (p. 7)
Now that we have the creative forces stirring again, it is time to analyse Crowley's very personal vision of this card. Kua 26, "THE TAMING POWER OF THE GREAT," follows kua 25, "INNOCENCE."
Kua 26, The sequence: WHEN INNOCENCE IS PRESENT IT IS POSSIBLE TO TAME. (p. 515)
Wilhelm: (kua 26) Holding fast to heavenly virtue is the prerequisite for innocence. On the other hand, innocence is the indispensable condition for being able to hold fast to pristine heavenly virtue. (p. 515)
Of course, this combination of Confucian and Christian moralism would probably disgust Crowley; (I concede that the point is badly overstated) but the writers and compilers of the I Ching were worldly men and fully conversant with the potent powers that come under the rubric of lust. Much of the imagery in the I Ching centers about the "sexual" union of powers and forces of nature. And, as we will see, their understanding of how these energies manifest in man enabled them to deal with these energies in a practical way.
The full meaning of an I Ching kua requires an analysis of the interplay amongst the full set of the six lines which compose it. In addition to the two trigrams which form the external structure of the kua, and which provide the basis for its major theme, there is an "internal" kua which adds a new component to the kua's meaning. This "nuclear" kua is composed of lines 2, 3, and 4; making a new lower trigram, and lines 3, 4, and 5; which become a new upper trigram. The nuclear kua adds another level to the full meaning of the original kua by describing an internal tendency which colors the main thrust of meaning derived from the interplay of the external trigrams.
To examine the way in which the group of kua associated with trump XI illuminate Crowley's interpretation of "LUST" as the major theme; we need to include in our analysis the nuclear kua of kua 11 and 26. Both of these kua contain kua 54, "THE MARRYING MAIDEN," as their nuclear kua. The meanings attached to kua 54 will serve to delineate an inner tendency for the primary kua.
"THE MARRYING MAIDEN" is the image of young girl who is married to an older man, not as his primary wife but as his concubine. In a footnote to this kua, Wilhelm explains the Chinese concept of concubinage within the institution of marriage.
Wilhelm: (kua 54 footnote) ... the husband retains the right to indulge his more personal inclinations. ... of course it is a most difficult and delicate matter, requiring tact on the part of all concerned. But under favorable circumstances this represents the solution of a problem for which European culture has failed to find an answer. (p. 209)
Crowley: (this trump) ... represents the most critical of all the operations of magick and alchemy. It represents the original marriage as it occurs in nature, ... (BT p. 92-93)
Wilhelm: (kua 54, THE MARRYING MAIDEN) has also so to speak a cosmic meaning ... The whole cycle of life is contained in this hexagram. Thus the present hexagram indicates the cosmic order of the relations of the sexes and the cycle of life. (p. 664)
So we can see that what Crowley deemed to be the primary concept in his reinterpretation of trump XI, "LUST"; is, in the fuller context of the I Ching, only one theme. And a somewhat hidden one at that. It is in kua 11, "PEACE," that we get the clearest parallel with Crowley's metaphysical meaning.
Crowley: It's meaning (kua 11) is identical with the following description of the 3 of wands. This card (Virtue) ... represents the establishment of primeval Energy. The Will has been transmitted to the Mother, who conceives, prepares, and gives birth to, its manifestation. (BT p. 190)
Kua 11 is perhaps the best kua of all to illustrate the image of "the original marriage as it occurs in nature." As we have seen, its nuclear kua is "THE MARRYING MAIDEN," with its metaphysical implications to the relations of the sexes, the cycle of life, and the cosmic order. The structural trigrams of kua 11, "Peace" are: KUN above CH'IEN below.
CH'IEN is the trigram of heaven. KUN is the trigram of the earth. It would seem then, that the trigrams of kua 11 are in the wrong places. In the Western traditions, if God's in his heaven then all's right with the world. But to the sages of the I Ching, God's place is here on earth and in the hearts of its people. Only then, when spirit immerses itself in matter, can the processes of nature follow the will of heaven. When heaven is receptive to the needs of earth and earth is imbued with the creative power of heaven: peace, harmony and tranquility prevail.
It is through humanity, as a co-equal partner with heaven and earth, that spirit seeks to perfect itself in the processes of life. The role of human-kind, in the mystical traditions, is to lend aid to this process of building heaven on earth. The marriage of heaven and earth, spirit and matter, is mediated by mind, which partakes of both realms.

TinyCo and Marvel Team to Let You Create and Run Your Own Avengers Academy
Ah, high school. Who could forget the first time you skipped class? Remember your first real crush? Or how about that time you had to break into the AIM laboratories to make sure your science project got you an "A"? What, you never had to deal with AIM when you were a kid? What about trickster gods? Dude-bro scientists with a trust fund? Handsome straight-edge dudes that seem like they're from a bygone era? Maybe that's because you went to a real school, and not the made-up one at the center of TinyCo's upcoming mobile game, Marvel Avengers Academy.
You might remember TinyCo from its last game, Family Guy: The Quest for Stuff. The free-to-play mobile building game arena has become crowded over the years, but licensed properties still manage to stand out from the crowd. Though there aren't any gameplay details about Marvel Avengers Academy available yet, it will follow in the same vein, allowing you to build your own Avengers-themed high school campus, and then manage all the heroes and villains that populate the world. In this case though, you won't just be deal with Marvel's current crop of teen heroes. All of the big guns have been de-aged to a time when they could easily pass as classmates for Kamala Khan and Miles Morales.
The teaser trailer hints at the possible characters and kinds of buildings you'll be able to create, such as training facilities, dorms, laboratories, classrooms and sports stadiums. There are some nice Easter eggs in there for characters like Squirrel Girl, Thanos, HYDRA, Nick Fury and more, but so far we only know that the characters teased in the yearbook will be coming to the game. With Avengers Academy, it'll be up to you to build the locations to get the characters trained up for battle and storylines. I'm a bit curious just what all that will entail, as there are already numerous Marvel fighting games available, and Avengers Academy will need some new (besides the characters being kids) hook to stand out.
More details will be coming in the lead-up to Marvel Avengers Academy's release in 2016. I'd like to see some actual gameplay action before I get to excited about another building game, whether it's got the Marvel name attached or not. In the meantime, you can learn more and get updates from TinyCo's website.

| 9°C Dublin
Louk Sorensen did everything that could possibly be demanded of an underdog over the past week. The 25-year-old had already become the first Irishman since Matt Doyle in 1985 to qualify for a Grand Slam tennis tournament when he met Lu Yen-Hsun of Chinese Taipei in the first round in Melbourne.
In doing so, he also followed in the footsteps of his father Sean, who made Wimbledon in 1977.
Lu was ranked 183 places higher in the world than world number 284 Louk, but it was the Irishman who won in four sets. This made the German-born Corkman the first ever Irish player to win a round of a Grand Slam event.
And there was no disgrace attached to defeat by world number 28 John Isner of the US in the second round. Sorensen had his chances in the straight sets defeat against a player 11 and a half inches taller than him who went on to knock-out number 12 seed Gael Monfils of France in the third round.
This is one case in which quibbling about how Irish a player's parentage makes him is beyond mean spirited. Because anyone who can remember Sean Sorensen scrambling around the court and giving it everything in those glorious days when Ireland made the top flight of the Davis Cup in 1983 and gave the US, McEnroe and all, plenty of it in Dublin, couldn't think of his son being anything other than Irish.
It was a good week to praise Louk. But it was also a good week to remember Sean and the days when he and Doyle, an American declaring for Ireland, put tennis at the centre of the sports pages.
Neither Sorensen, however, is likely to ever equal the international splash made by another famous Cork tennis player. The 1879 Wimbledon singles runners-up, Thomas St Leger Goold, hit the headlines when, in August 1907, he and his wife were convicted of murdering one Emma Liven and leaving her dismembered body in a trunk in Marseilles.
Like many Cork people, the Goolds were keen gamblers and were trying to avoid paying back money to their unfortunate Danish victim after a stint in the casino at Monte Carlo. Thomas was sent to the Devils Island penal colony where he died two years later.
The real characters are gone out of sport these days.

$150 million+ lawsuit claim: Vernon County deputies held prisoner fight nights for entertainment
The action, which was originally filed in Vernon County Circuit Court, was filed by prisoner Alexander Trexel and alleges the deputies had a prisoner named Lavern Hill organize the fights both as a way of entertainment and as a way to control D Pod.
Trexel said he was forced to fight nine times, suffered numerous injuries and feared for his safety.
Listed as defendants in the three-count lawsuit are Sheriff Jason Mosher, jailer Joseph Housel, former jailer Bradley Gash, deputies Ashley Alexander, Eric Terry, and Shayne Simmons, Vernon County Commissioners Joseph Hardin, Everett Wolfe, and Cindy Thompson, the Vernon County Sheriff's Office and Vernon County.
Trexel is represented by Nevada attorney Dustin W. Dunfield.
The first count, filed against the sheriff, deputies, and jailers, alleges assault and asks for an amount in excess of $100,000 in damages and $25 million in punitive damages.
The second count alleges the same defendants violated Trexel's constitutional rights under the 4th, 5th, 8th, and 14th Amendments and asks for an amount in excess of $100,000 in actual damages and $25 million in punitive damages.
The third count alleges violations of the same constitutional rights against the commissioners and Vernon County Sheriff's Office for not exercising any control over the county employees involved in the fight nights. On that count, Trexel is asking for $1 million in damages and $100 million in punitive damages.
1 comment:
This sort of thing occurs all the time in jails and prisons. This is how they maintain "order" with uppity prisoners is have trustee-inmates beat some of the weaker ones up. But it is usually done "unofficially". Sounds like the Vernon County bunch got away with it too long and they got caught.

To bring in the new year—and celebrate the whirlwind that was 2016—our friends at the talent agency Vitamin T gifted us with a beautiful unicorn piñata. With a gorgeous, pastel-streamer mane. Filled to the brim with sweet, sweet candy.
But that wasn't all. It turned out we weren't the only ones to get a little rainbow trophy—a number of agencies across Portland also received papier-mâché unicorns filled with candy. And with every piñata came a challenge: Destroy it. But not with bats. With something more inventive. After all, it's only fair to ask creatives to be…creative. The agency with the most imaginative destruction would be awarded a free happy hour, so you could say the stakes were high.

Yemen is facing a catastrophic humanitarian crisis. Conflict has displaced nearly three million people, and precipitated one of the worst cholera epidemics in history. The country is on the verge of famine: More than 17 million people (more than half of Yemen's total population) do not have enough food, 16 million lack clean water, and thousands have been killed and wounded in air strikes and other fighting.
Oxfam has helped more than a million people so far this year, providing clean water and hygiene items to help them avoid cholera, cash to help them buy food, and support for earning a living through agriculture and small businesses. Oxfam is also advocating for all sides of the conflict to end the war. We are urgently seeking funds to assist the millions of people caught in the middle of this devastating conflict.

Relationships are the most valuable currency we have. Life is about connection. It's about establishing trust. Nowhere is this connection and trust more important than with our family and friends.
But for many men, this connection of trust can be hard. It's not because they don't want those connections, it's not that they don't want to trust people but because of the hurts and heartaches that they have suffered, they've built walls around their hearts.
When they first begin building these walls, they tell ourselves that they are for their own protection. It's their way of keeping the hurt at bay but soon they realize the stronghold they have built has become a prison of they're own making.
I know because I am one of those men. When I was about 14-years-old my parents divorced. For me, this was a devastating experience. It completely destroyed my family, it shook my faith in all that I believed in. I had grown up in the church; my father and grandfather were ministers. Divorce was not something that was supposed to happen to families like mine. I went to bed one night with what I thought was a typical happy family and woke up the next morning to utter chaos.
It happened just like that.
This is one of the first times I can remember in my life that people I looked up to and respected, the people that were supposed to protect me, hurt and disappointed me. I went through all the typical things that children of divorce have to go through. Switching from one parent's home to the other every other weekend, hearing one side of the family talk bad about the other. A lot of times I didn't know how to deal with what had happened.
So what did I do? I began building walls to protect myself.
Over the years because I felt I couldn't rely on family members any more I started relying on friends to fill the void that my hurt had left. Each time these friendships failed, I built a few more walls.
This all happened during the all-important teen years when I was trying to discover who I was and what I believed. It was one hurt after the other. By the time I was a young adult I had an impressive stronghold built around my heart. One that I was proud of, no one could penetrate the defenses that I had built. I wasn't going to allow anyone to ever hurt me again.
No one could breach the walls that I had built. No matter what the devil or this world tried to throw at me, I could handle it because I was safe within my walls.
I thought my spiritual stronghold, built with my own hands would protect me. I could not have been more wrong. You see I had played right into the enemy's hands because there is only one protection for our spiritual wounds.
The Bible tells us in Proverbs 18:10:
"The name of the Lord is a strong tower; The righteous runs to it and is safe and set on high [far above evil]."
He should be our strong tower; He should be who we run to when we are hurt. When we seek refuge in anything outside of Christ we only find defeat.
Why do we build these walls? Why do we rely on own protection and walls that we have built to protect us?
I believe there are two main reasons:
- Lack of trust in God – In our heads we may have an understanding that God can protect us but we don't trust that He will. We reason that since we have gone through trials and hurts in our life that God cannot be relied upon to help us. We rely on what we can do ourselves.
Jeremiah 17:5 says, "Thus says the Lord, 'Cursed is the man who trusts in and relies on mankind, Making [weak, faulty human] flesh his strength, And whose mind and heart turn away from the Lord.'"
- Fear – We are afraid of what we may have to go through in this life. We are afraid that we cannot handle what the enemy throws at us.
Psalms 56:3-4 says, "When I am afraid, I will put my trust and faith in You. In God, whose word I praise; In God I have put my trust; I shall not fear. What can mere man do to me?"
The walls we have built to keep the hurt and pain shut out, have also shut out the close relationship with our family and with God that we so desperately crave.
Dealing with past hurts and trauma is not something that you just acknowledge and then move past. Most of the walls that we hide behind took years to build and it will take years to fully dismantle them.
Though God showed me this lesson years ago, I still have to make a conscious effort to not allow those walls that I have successful destroyed to be rebuilt. Every time there is a misunderstanding with my wife, I have to remind myself not to shut down and close myself off.
I'm thankful for an understanding wife and a gracious God who can look past the broken parts of me.
If you are like me and you find yourself battling past hurts, know there is a God waiting for you to run to him. You'll never regret the decision and once those walls begin to crumble, you'll find the connection with those you love stronger than ever.

Mission A community collaboration to transform Tehama County by championing higher expectations for higher education and career readiness.
The Over-Coffee Conversation Two years ago, a small group met at Starbucks to discuss how to spend precious dollars on education in Tehama County. The small group grew and the scope of the conversation broadened from education to the needs of the community, of economic development, of positioning ourselves for future opportunities, of increasing our regional skills base and more. We realized that by partnering with stakeholders, we could champion existing resources and programs and begin to fill in the gaps. Expect More Tehama was born.
Questions we began to ask… How do we encourage our residents to Increase their skills? How do we make sure that all of our students understand their options for college and vocational training? How do we educate parents on the true cost and options for higher education? How do we run that message as a consistent, frequent thread throughout our communities, through all age groups and populations, and raise our overall expectations? What resources can we tap? What challenges do we face?
Rural areas have a lower percentage of residents with higher education. Poverty numbers are high. Northern California is no exception. From an economic development standpoint, the region needs to raise the skills of the workforce to compete for good companies and to retain our higher skilled. Increasingly the fastest growing, high wage jobs require postsecondary education. Now more than ever, we need all students prepared. Current Reality
Income and Poverty in Tehama County Estimate of Percent of People Below Poverty Level 19.8% Per capita annual income $20,299 Source: US Census: 2005-2009
Per Capita Annual Income Comparison
Comparison of Educational Attainment Ages 25+
Can a county or region be transformed through community collaboration? If so, how? By championing higher expectations for higher education and career readiness.
Vision Expect More Tehama is a grass roots movement primarily focused on rebuilding Tehama County to a community that offers safe, caring neighborhoods, quality schools and thriving employment opportunities; while promoting life-long learning to all Tehama County residents. Focus Education is vital to the success of this vision. Thus Expect More Tehama strongly supports the all students graduate from high school with the plan to continue their education and/or technical skill development after high school.
Important! This is not a college-only message. We fully realize that a four-year university experience is not for everyone. There are many options including apprenticeship, certificate programs, trades school, community college, the military and more. Our position is that the more prepared and aware students are before leaving high school, the more options they have when they graduate.
Expect More Tehama Commitments We collectively agree that it is not the sole responsibility of our education system to teach our students… we must Expect More Tehama. The grass roots movement is lead by the community in order to enhance the community. Expect More Tehama is about continuous improvement in an environment not stuck on the past, and not willing to lay blame, justify or pass responsibility but instead seek solutions and reasons to support and celebrate. Expect More Tehama identifies important areas where the community can work together to address pressing educational issues, better leverage resources and have a measurable impact.
Higher Education through Higher Expectations Movement Goals: 1.All Students in Tehama County graduate from high school. 2.All Students have access to and are prepared for higher education/college, if they choose. 3.All Students have access to pathways sustainable for jobs and careers. 4.Community knows where to find resources to gain/increase their own skills.
Expect More Tehama is not an education issue… It is a community issue. It is a discussion about expectations and intentions. It encourages a culture shift.
The Power of Marketing Non-intrusive, non-threatening campaign focused around enhancing, revitalizing and infusing support to current or new systems. Create a plan for each audience (stakeholder) group to add awareness and/or support. Utilize the diverse support team to support and broaden existing plans.
Reaching our Stakeholders Based on the goals, the movement will focus on raising awareness and generating support to the stakeholders of our community through a comprehensive marketing plan: Students Parents Educators Business Sector Support Services
The Journey Begins From September to May 2009, dozens of visits were made to establish relationships and understand the current reality. In May 2010, over 100 stakeholders met at an inaugural Summit to tackle the BIG question: What can we do or put in place that will start to raise expectations and support youth in continuing their education and skills beyond high school?
Community Collaboration What can business, education, service clubs, coaches, counselors, students, government, non-profits, parents, grandparents, school board members and individuals do? What suggestions did one group have for another? The room was electric and positive. The ideas were proactive and numerous. Based on the outcomes of the Summit, Expect More Tehama (the community) was eager to support new and already established efforts through stronger marketing promotion and physical support and involvement.
Stakeholder Group: Students Stakeholder Movement Achievements 8th Grade Leadership Conference College OPTIONS Programs College Campus Field Trips T-Shirt Project Stakeholder Message Beginning in Kindergarten and promoting throughout the elementary and high school experience, the campaign will focus on providing college options.
Stakeholder Group: Parents Stakeholder Movement Achievements Parent Night Meetings General awareness for the opportunities that higher education provides Easy to access to resources and expertise (College OPTIONS, mentors, website and events) Weekly Newspaper Column Stakeholder Message The message to parents is two-fold; educating on the accessibility of higher education options and providing the tools/resources.
Stakeholder Group: Educators Stakeholder Movement Achievements Small Learning Communities Grant Special events – College Quest Collaboration on grant opportunities College OPTIONS Advisor Stakeholder Message Respecting the tremendous amount of responsibility our educators have, our campaign goals are to support the current system and look for ways to aid in enhancement (funding, implementation, etc).
Resources: Different Kinds of Capital Financial capital – Money or other resources to invest for services or supplies Network capital – People you know, connections you can make, other systems you can plug into Intellectual capital – Smarts; software systems; access to people with insight Physical capital – offices, warehouses, etc. Prestige capital – using your reputation to open doors or to gain support Instigation capital –The ability and the guts to say yes. Leadership prodding it forward. Getting others involved & maintaining momentum
What will ensure long-term success? Long-term commitment from leadership Leadership team with clear goals, structure and measurable outcomes. The need for change has surfaced; needs of stakeholders have been validated and support has been received and/ is in progress. Must maintain a grassroots movement
Challenge STEP ONE: In the next 10 minutes, write down your ideas that answer the following two questions: a) What can I personally do or put in place that will start to raise expectations and support youth in continuing their education and skills beyond high school…in the next three months? b) What can we as a board and staff do or put in place that will start to raise expectations and support youth in continuing their education and skills beyond high school…in the next three months?

The employee service center on the Alibaba campus in Hangzhou offers a wide array of services to their staff. Located at the center of their headquarters, it is a place where hundreds of people go in and out on a daily basis. Hence a practical layout with efficient walkways was key for this project.
For the interiors we gave this highly frequented space a proper Alibaba branding – as it is an important touch point of company intern PR. Double floor height in the main area and great exposure to natural light makes it very friendly. We chose to let the location speak for it self by running lines with the structure, keeping the overall design very clean. Some sprinkles of the brand's colours and modern furniture complement the open and friendly character of the interior.
"How to interpret the beauty and practicality of the space, when you in it, you will feel it."

At a glance
- We recently hosted an event to update a number of our strategic customers on some of the key evolving risks across financial lines
- A clear theme of the day was the connectivity that exists between seemingly diverse risks such as cyber breaches and the increased threat of regulatory action
- How the insurance market is responding to these challenges was another important area of discussion
Understanding and responding to evolving risks is a fundamental challenge for any business.
At a recent Zurich Customer Advisory Board event, Stephen Moss, Head of Specialties, discussed how the world of risk is changing across financial lines.
Merger objection lawsuits drive rise in class actions
The volume of class actions filed across the globe has reached record levels. In the US, for example, the number of federal class actions filed in 2017 was more than double the yearly average for the preceding 20-year period.
"Class actions have long been a significant risk for US companies, but we are seeing increasing exposure for non-US firms too," says Stephen. "In fact, there has been a significant increase in the frequency and severity of claims against non-US companies."
The rise in non-US class actions is largely a consequence of the financial crisis, with shareholders becoming increasingly willing to hold directors accountable for their performance against the backdrop of legislative reforms and a rise of third party litigation funding.
"A lot of countries – Australia and the Netherlands for example – have taken steps to make it easier for action to be taken collectively against a board of directors," says Stephen.
An increase in the volume of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) globally has also seen an exponential rise in merger objection lawsuits.
"There has been a lot of consolidation in recent years, and M&A deals have also become a lot more complicated," says Stephen. "It's no longer just a company in one territory acquiring another company in the same territory; these deals have become highly complex and often span multiple jurisdictions."
The unprecedented scale of cyber risk
While cyber can no longer accurately be described as an emerging risk, the scale of the threat has undoubtedly increased beyond all recognition in recent years.
Take ransomware, for example. In 2015, the global cost of ransomware attacks was $325m; last year, that figure hit $5bn. By 2020, it is predicted the average cost of a data breach is estimated to reach $150m.
Cyber risk is no longer just an IT issue, but a fundamental feature of corporate governance, and as such it has become a crucial issue for directors and officers (D&O).
"Cyber and D&O almost go hand-in-hand," says Stephen. "Boards of directors are ultimately going to be held accountable for the level of data stored, the security used to protect it and the effectiveness of their response in the event of a cyber or data breach incident."
Regulators beginning to bare their teeth
These challenges are compounded by changes in the regulatory landscape.
"Across the world, regulators now have a lot more teeth to hold companies and individuals to account," says Stephen.
This is particularly evident in relation to data breaches. In Europe, the GDPR will introduce a far tougher regulatory framework for the management of personal data, not to mention significantly higher penalties for non-compliance.
Stephen says: "The US has been ahead of the rest of the world in terms of data protection for a number of years now, particularly in relation to breach notification requirements.
"GDPR is Europe's attempt to catch up, and we are seeing regulators in Australia and other territories trying to do the same thing."
How is the insurance market responding to evolving risks?
"Our customers fully understand that the risk landscape is changing," says Stephen. "What they want to see is how the insurance market is responding to ensure adequate protection is available through innovative and effective risk transfer solutions."
While these risks are evolving rapidly, Zurich remains committed to working in partnership with our customers and brokers to better understand their exposures
Stephen says: "To take cyber, for example, in the absence of reliable actuarial data and of tried and tested exposure models, the challenge for the market is to understand the exposures, quantify individual risks and ultimately quantify the inherent systemic risk on a portfolio basis. We want to build an ongoing partnership to proactively help clients identify, control and manage these risks."

Charles Darwin expounded the theory of evolution in his 1859 book The Origin of Species. It was in that book that Darwin theorized that plants and animals evolve and develop without the aid of an intelligent Creator through a process of natural selection, which ensures the "survival of the fittest." His work eventually dislodged people from the traditional notion that they possessed an exalted position as a special creation of God.
Although Darwin confined his ideas to biology, others quickly adapted them to nearly all aspects of intellectual life. Darwin eventually became a hero to the international academic community and received many honors. However, while the world celebrates Charles Darwin's 200th birthday (Feb. 12, 1809) and evolution is taught to schoolchildren as a unchallengeable fact, little attention is paid to his more disturbing (and certainly politically incorrect) beliefs, let alone the impact his ideas had on 19th and 20th century leaders and movements.
For example, during his lifetime, Darwin propounded both racist and sexist sentiments. Although the title of Darwin's infamous book is often cited as The Origin of Species, the complete title is The Origin of Species of Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life -- the favored race being the white race. He also taught that women were biologically inferior to men and that human sexual differences were due in part to natural selection. He theorized that men must prove themselves physically and intellectually superior to other men in order to compete for women. As Darwin concluded in his autobiography, "the average mental power in man must be above that of women."
Yet it was Darwin's theory of evolution that had the most far-reaching impact. By the late 1800s, science had become the new religion, with Darwinism being its central tenet. It was recognized as such by notable individuals including British playwright George Bernard Shaw, who observed that "the world jumped at Darwin."
Leading businessmen publicized Darwin to justify their ruthless tactics. J. D. Rockefeller, who used Darwinian thought to justify industrial monopoly without restraint, said, "The growth of large business is merely a survival of the fittest." And Andrew Carnegie expressed his conversion to Darwinism by saying, "Light came in as a flood and all was clear. Not only had I got rid of theology and the supernatural, but I found the truth of evolution."
Soon-to-be tyrants also grabbed hold of evolution. Karl Marx, the father of atheistic communism, wrote that Darwin's The Origin of Species served as "a basis in natural science for the class struggle in history." What followed were the revolutions of the 20th century and the carnage and oppression of countless human beings.
As Darwinism became even more entrenched in western culture and its major institutions (such as government and education), the evolutionary view of people began to rear its ugly head in the form of racism, fascism and totalitarianism. In fact, as American schoolchildren were being taught the "fact" of evolution in schools, Italian fascist Benito Mussolini watched the killing of nearly half a million people at the Caporetto battlefront, while justifying war as a means of evolutionary progress. In public, Mussolini repeatedly used Darwinian catch words while mocking perpetual peace, lest it hinder evolution.
More ominous was the use of Darwin by Adolf Hitler. As early as 1923 in his book Mein Kampf, Hitler expressed his adherence to evolution in justifying genocide. "The German Fuhrer," anthropologist Arthur Keith has said, "consciously sought to make the practice of Germany conform to the theory of evolution." Evolutionary ideas can also be seen in Hitler's wish to develop a master race and in his human breeding experiments, which eventually led to the Holocaust.
Even Darwin was negatively affected by his own philosophy. Although he had a great appreciation of the arts and nature as a younger man, by the end of his life, he confessed to being somewhat disillusioned. "I retain some taste for fine scenery," he wrote in his autobiography, "but it does not cause me the exquisite delight it formerly did."
Thus, whether or not Darwin's theory of evolution is true (there's enough legitimate debate within the scientific community for it to remain a theory and not an incontrovertible fact), Darwin the man is not exactly whom I would choose as a role model for children to revere.
The lesson to be learned is this: the world is not black and white, and neither are our so-called historical heroes. Children should be taught what these historical figures really believed and the ramifications of their beliefs. After all, isn't teaching the truth what our schools should be about?
