Spring perhaps the best time of the year , feels like nature's seeking for balance just like we humans do .
Holi special : Malpua recipe
Malpua is a sweet dish that is crunchy on the edges and the middle part is soft and fluffy and is usually prepared on the occasion of Holi .
Holi is not just a festival of colors, but a beautiful amalgamation of color , food and relationships – be it with friends , family or sometimes even a stranger . There are different styles of celebrating Holi across India and with these changes the flavor of dishes made .From childhood I have seen my mother preparing Malpua early in the morning and to complement the sweetness a salty dish is prepared too , like soya chilly or paneer (cottage cheese) chilly .
So , here I am sharing the recipe and there are different variations of this dish too …
- All purpose flour
- Milk
- cardamom powder
- cashew nuts
- Almonds
- Raisins
- Oil (to fry)
- Sugar
- Mix all purpose flour with milk such that it gets flowy consistency.In case you don't want to use all purpose flour you may use Semolina. Keep the batter overnight .
- The batter raises and becomes thick so you may need to add some more milk to it .
- To this batter add almonds , cashew nuts and raisins along with cardamom powder and sugar . Mix it well and keep it aside for another 15 minutes .
- Now , heat oil in a pan on medium flame . Pour the batter and fry till it is golden brown in color.
- Serve alone or with some salty snack .
You may try out this batter in form of pancake but then it will lose its property of being soft -inside and crunchy – outside .
And Happy Rang Panchami to all . Let us color the world with the colors of love and peace . Amen ….
Brother's drawings …
Me and my brother are always at war although he is just 11 years old , that doesn't matter , but one thing i admit that he's definitely better at , is drawing . Since , I am very bad at it . I always love his drawings and so am sharing with all of you …

The Comeback post !
Hey everyone , so happy to be back , feels like i haven't been around since ages as I was locked in a prison in the midst of a lonely island ……relax ….just kidding 😊. Actually i was standing on a crossroad where everything seemed so inconspicuous that i had to take a break to decide which path to follow .I'm graduating this spring and i always knew that i wanted to go for higher studies , but being from middle class i realized that my family had some expectations " They wanted me to land to a job first so that if i don't get into some good University i could continue with the job ".Well , i don't blame them , it had happened to me before and so i had to take both roads simultaneously .After all who would want to disappoint his/her parents .I actually like the fact that they are so involved about my career , life and everything .
I know some of you might say that it isn't difficult at all . Yeah i know it isn't but when you are not mentally prepared to be in that situation , you can certainly build a mountain out of a molehill and so did I . Well after a couple of sleepless nights and a dozen nightmares of being a failure in life , i managed to get three jobs and so the pressure began to drop .
Recently , i took the exam for my higher education plans and so i am totally relaxing now ….. Though everything didn't go according to my expectations , but i have laid the foundation and i am really hopeful and optimistic about it .
One thing that i realized during this period is that your mindset plays a crucial role in your preparation colloquially saying : " It's all in your mind " , but i am gonna do a seperate post for it .
Ok so this is about what i was upto all these days , and i also completed my one year journey on WordPress in December . It's been really amazing till now with it's fair share of ups and downs and i am really excited for the journey ahead .Thank You guys for making it really interesting and amusing .I also wanted to apologise as i had few nominations before i left and i could not respond to them but i would try to make it up now .

8 Expert Tips For Picking the Right Gourmet Caterer In Blind Bight
When it comes to the things that can make or break an occasion, couple of are as important as the quality, flavor and appearance of the food and drinks you serve. A lot is riding on your choice which catering service to work with, and if you believe this choice actually isn't that essential, look at it in this manner, incredible catering can save an event that's on the rocks, however bad catering will usually send visitors to the doors.
In addition, due to the fact that catering is frequently the # 1 or # 2 line-item cost for many occasions, the caterer you select is also a significant monetary choice and can affect just how much money you have left over to invest in other areas depending on food costs and quantities.
Add in the fact that caterers can differ drastically in their rates and the types of meals and services they use, and the procedure of choosing a catering service can figuratively and actually seem like you are comparing apples to oranges.
# 1 Responsiveness And Individual Interest In Your Needs
Of all the event and catering professionals we talked with, this showed up over and over and over again, mainly because how responsive and interested a caterer is throughout your initial discussions is a sign of how they will perform throughout the length of their agreement with you (and more on agreements later).
A potential caterer must be finding out as much as they can about you in your very first few discussions with them, so you must anticipate them to be talking and asking concerns about 20% of the time and you offering responses and outlining your requirements about 80% of the time.
# 2 Capability To Handle Your Specific Type of Occasion In Blind Bight 3980
Not every caterer is best or every kind of event, and numerous catering services themselves freely admit this.
So when interviewing your Blind Bight catering services (and you should speak to a minimum of 3 caterers for any occasion with a sensible budget), you have to specify about the kind of occasion you are planning and the type of food and/or presentation you are anticipating. Otherwise, you may end up choosing a catering service who just isn't really an excellent suitable for the type or style of your event.
Almost every caterer has a standard menu or menus to select from, and many do offer some level of built-in versatility to adjust these menus to your specific requirements by substituting specific items and/or customizing others.
However, the standout catering services will go beyond standardized menu alternatives and want to create remarkable fare that matches much more specific style and dietary needs.
# 3 Willingness To Supply Tastings
How will you ever know exactly what a caterer can do unless you sample their goods? And more particularly, how will you understand what the menu items you are considering will taste like unless you specifically try them?
Some people avoid asking to sample the specific items they desire for their event due to the fact that it appears like a trouble for the caterer, however it is standard to ask for a sampling of exactly what you are planning to order prior to you sign on the dotted line.
In addition, you can ask for wine parings for these tastings if they are appropriate for your event (again, be prepared to pay a cost, it's a small price to pay to ensure you select the best caterer). When you are tasting the food, also address how it exists, as any catering service who takes the time to properly display a sample will probably be most likely to make that kind of effort on your event day.
Are you an event manager who needs to manage catering information, budget plans and assignments?
Or are you a catering service who needs to track propositions, invoices, meal choices, stock and other customer details?
# 4 Familiarity With The Location
You may be in for a surprise if you work with a BARBEQUE take-out joint to cater a formal ballroom fundraising event. Or if you pick a high-end business occasion catering service to serve a barn wedding event. Why? Because these catering services may not be accustomed to preparing and serving food in such a setting.
This can get even more specific depending upon restrictions of the location itself, like when it comes to museums and historical sites.
Much more conventional locations can also have restrictions that caterers need to follow, like particular setup standards or disposal constraints for waste food and water, so having a catering service that recognizes with a location's guidelines can potentially save you lots of hassle on event day.
# 5 Complete Explanation Of Services/Goods Promised In The Contract
The caterer's agreement ought to plainly define exactly what food, drinks and services the caterer will be supplying on the designated day( s). Furthermore, it must secure you from non-performance as much as it safeguards the caterer from non-payment/default, so you might wish to think about having a lawyer} take a look at it before you sign it.
Every detail must be consisted of in the contract, consisted of chosen menus, number of servings and/or people to be served, beverage/bar service details (if applicable) and all pricing and extra services.
No caterer in Blind Bight with a shred of dignity and scruples enters into a contract with plans to bail at the last minute, but you have to ensure there is a cancellation clause in your contract simply in case your catering service has to cancel.
You do not wish to be left without recourse with only days or hours before your event, so just ensure cancellation procedures and charges remain in place so you do have a backup strategy.
# 6 References You Can Call and Talk With
Obviously you will have to check up on the caterers in Blind Bight you are thinking about, and it's always good to begin online and check out sites.
Nevertheless, do not stop there, as online reviews are not always reliable (or perhaps authentic); for example, a good catering service might have had a couple of nightmare/hater clients who skew their ratings, while a genuinely average catering service may have padded their online reviews. So see if you can find some previous customers of the catering services you are considering and reach out to them.
# 7 Insurance Coverage
Every catering service we spoke to called insurance protection "an offered" for caterers, and you definitely do not want to legally be on the hook for some oversight or mishap that was the fault of your catering service.
# 8 A Knowledgeable Chef and Kitchen Personnel
Remarkably, the length of time a catering business in Blind Bight has actually been in business may not be as important in picking a great caterer as you may believe.
So make certain to inquire about the chef's bona fides and CV since he/she will probably be the one most responsible for the result of the meal and whether your guests enjoy it or not.

Advent Reading – December 9, 2017
Harry Strauss – Encore Pastor
Revelation 12:1-6
The dragon stood in front of the woman who was about to give birth, so that it might devour her child the moment he was born. She gave birth to a son, a male child, who 'will rule all the nations with an iron scepter.' And her child was snatched up to God and to his throne.
A less traditional account of the birth of Christ is reflected, albeit briefly, and perhaps even unsettling, in Revelation 12:4-5. John, the writer of Revelation, is given a glimpse into the intentions of the evil one. Satan, also referred to as the 'great dragon' or the 'ancient serpent' (Rev. 12:9), endeavored to kill the Christ child at the moment of His birth. We most readily see this played out in the birth account of Christ, where an angel appeared to Joseph in a dream, directing him to take Mary and Jesus to Egypt, because "Herod is going to search for the child to kill him" (Mathew 2:13). Herod was no stranger to ruthless acts of killing, as demonstrated by his fury, and directive, to have all the baby boys in Bethlehem and vicinity, two years old and under, killed. Evil to the core. And the one most responsible for this 'evil of all evils' was none other than Satan, himself. Satan was there, right at the birth of Christ, with the agenda of snuffing out the Christ child.
The reference to the birth of Christ in Revelation 12 is brief, but unmistakably there. The preoccupation of Revelation is not the birth of Christ, as important as that is, but Christ on His throne. So, in this brief reference to the birth account, the text moves quickly to that of the ascended Christ, on His throne. This is consistent with the decided emphasis of Jesus on his throne, most notably Revelation 5. Christ is on His throne! And this emphasis is brought to the attention of the reader, constantly, as reminders that the fury of the evil one, now directed at God's people, comes under the ultimate reign of Christ.
Christmas certainly is a time to reflect on the warm thoughts that emanate from the story of the manager scene. But integral to that story, is the insidious and wicked ploys of the evil one. May our Christmas reflections carry some element, some weight, on the realities reflected in Rev. 12.

Hattie Adelia Jones
Miss Hattie Adelia Jones, at Elmwood, Ill., July 6, 1869, united with the Congregational church when about 14 years of age; graduated from Elmwood High School when yet a girl, and from Knox College, Galesburg, Ill., when about 21 years old. She chose teaching as her life profession, going first to Beatrice, Neb., where she taught successfully for six years, part of which time she served as president of the Young People's Christian Endeavor, being a very active church worker.
From thence she went to Castle, Wyoming, where she taught for two years. Although eminently successful in her chosen profession, she was forced to give up teaching after a term of eight years on account of failing health. So rapid was her decline in health that soon after she retired from the school room, she was prevailed on to come south in search of a more congenial clime. Accordingly she spent the winter of 1900 at Citronell, a famous health resort near Mobile, Ala. The next winter she spent in San Antonio, Texas, with some profit, returning to her home in the East the following summer. In the fall of 1902 she came to Seguin and has since lived with her brother and sister Mr. and Mrs. Dr. Pearson, and her aged mother, Mrs. S. G. Jones. Her illness was lingering and oftentimes attended with much pain, but she bore it all with patience and Christian submission. Her quiet, modest, and unassuming bearing won for her many warm friends during her brief residence in this, the city of her adoption.
Of her, one her former pastor's writes: "Hattie was one of the most beautiful Christian characters I ever knew, a most faithful follower of our blessed Saviour, and while we cannot but deeply regret her early death, yet her memory will be sacred to all who knew her, and the pure and beautiful life she lived will be an inspiration to them as long as they live, and make their lives better than they ever would have been without it."
Miss Jones passed to her reward on the night of the 16th of February, 1904, attended by the loving family and devoted friends. She was buried from the family residence at 4:30 o'clock, on the afternoon of the 17th, the Baptist pastor officiating. The very large concourse of friends that followed her remains to the Riverside cemetery attest the high esteem in which she was held by the people of the community.
To the bereaved ones we tender our deepest sympathy in this, their great sorrow.
"Dearest one, thou hast left us;
We our loss do deeply feel,
But 'tis God that haft bereft us;
He can all our sorrows heal."
T. J. Dodson
Pastor, Baptist Ch., Seguin, Texas
Mrs. S. G. Jones will be remembered as a sister to the late Mrs. Rebecca McQuown, and also of Mrs. I. W. Silloway, W. G. Huey, John Huey and Webster Huey. (Brimfield News, Mar. 10, 1904, submitted by Laurie Huey)

Murdered and Robbed
A Wealthy Man Decoyed Into A Den By Two Desperadoes
PEKIN, Ill. March 10th The body of a man was found lodged against a snag in the Illinois River Saturday by parties passing in a skiff. The remains were brought to this city yesterday, and at the inquest it was learned that they were those of Bernhard Junghaus, a German horse buyer of Peoria, a man of considerable means.
There was an ugly wound back of the right ear. A gold watch and chain and a gold ring which the man wore were missing and no money was found upon the body, although it was learned from letters in the dead man's pocket that he intended to start for Germany to-day. The man was undoubtedly murdered and robbed and his body thrown into the river. The Coroner's jury rendered a verdict to that effect.
Four policemen surrounded a den kept by Link Hummel and Bill Luckey last night and endeavored to arrest them for the murder of Junghaus. As the policemen burst in the doors the two ruffians dropped through a hidden trap door and escaped to the river by means of a sewer. Two women living with them were arrested, and the murdered man's watch, chain, and ring found on them.
Junghaus was enticed into the den on Friday, his head split open, and his body conveyed to the river by means of the trap and sewer. He had drawn $2,000 from the bank on Thursday, and intended leaving for New York Friday. He was fifty-eight years of age, and was reputed to be quite wealthy.
The police have orders to kill either Hummel or Luckey on sight, as they are desperate characters and have committed many crimes. It is thought they will try to reach Chicago or Kansas City.

the teachings at LDC on 16 June (Wed), the CONSECRATION of the new holy
objects HAPPENED and how gloriously it happened too! From midnight to
2.30am, in the clear night with a gentle breeze blowing, from the Mahakala
Protector to the gompa Buddhas, out to the Nalanda Pandits Garden, to the
Namthose Pavilion, to the 120 prayer wheels finishing up with the giant Mani
Wheel, Rinpoche blessed each sacred object, one by one, with handfuls of flower
petals; each holy object receiving its own verses of prayer. In the soft breeze
of that morning, the 30 lucky ones who remained at the Centre after teachings,
experienced how time stood still with the Triple Gem of the 10 Directions
listening, with the Heavens and the Earth pacified as Rinpoche's prayers filled
the night. Every Pandit was adorned with white khata and brought alive through
the sacred prayers…. Rinpoche then gave words & advice to YOU, members
of LDC ……
virtue of the Nalanda Pandits Garden coming up, it is a sign that
this LDC will become a place of advanced learning of the Buddhadharma,
with many people coming together to study…it is very auspicious…"
blessing the Namthose Pavilion]….now listen here, everyone should understand
about the face, the appearance of statues. Just because you find a Buddha
statue whose face is very nicely done and you ask the statue maker to make
another one with the same design and design, doesn't mean it will happen. (Then
turning to the Namthose statue), Rinpoche raised his left hand in its direction
and said, "It takes much merit of the Centre people here to have a
statue with a perfect face as this. Its face, everything about
it…wonderful. Long time ago, Lama Yeshe had asked for a Shakyamuni Buddha
statue to be made and it came out very beautiful. So I asked the same statue
maker to make another one exactly like it but….it didn't come out..(laughter)…not
enough merit (more laughter)…Anyway, it shows Centre people have much merit to
have this Namthose here."
at the end of the teachings during the first day of Yamantaka Initiation, encouraged
everyone to "come to LDC and its activities, as Geshela is
a highly qualified teacher who had spent many years of study in Sera,
completing all the 5 Great Treatises and engaging in debate" etc…and
also to join acitivities at Jangsem Ling and "Hospos" (as Rinpoche
cutely refers to Kasih) and CGC in Penang.
were some "firsts" during this visit – two things which
Rinpoche has asked Roger to encourage all FPMT Centres to additionally adopt
the airport, Rinpoche was asked whether He had any final words of advice for
LDC during this visit and without hesitation, Rinpoche leaned back, raised
his two hands and fingers in the gesture of "everything is perfect"
and with a big smile, advised us to carry on all that we are doing, handing
out mini-teddy bears to everyone there!! As we unwind and rest, Rinpoche
is now in Hong Kong, all geared up to continue his tireless service for
sentient beings…such are the ways of the Buddha.

Over the last week or so, I've been thinking about my recent drawings… about the 61 days of this summer's ICAD challenge, and about the sub-themes and batches of cards I've done this summer. For me, ICAD is a daily challenge… it isn't specifically "about" ICAD… it is about the challenge to do a daily and to do it with a community. I also love that there are prompts, if you want them, and at least a few constructs in place that keep everyone doing something on a similar plane… or on a similar substrate (as Tammy might say).
As I thought about the nearly 61 cards (it's not quite over) that I've done this summer, I know there have been a few sub-themes… stuffed bears was my initial focus (as you may recall from Episode 185). But gradually, I shifted into exploring another favorite… chairs. And with chairs… I decided to couple windows. A few cards contain self-portraits, and a few involve people. And almost all of them offered a challenge for dealing with perspective.
In terms of approach… I am honest about my love of black and white and of ink. But for ICAD, I often have used fabric bits and cancelled stamps (both of which add color). I often use watercolor, and this year I also experimented with NeoColors II (a gift). I often use stencils to add words or numbers, and this year I incorporated bits and pieces of found text and spent time tearing and gluing words from magazines. As the summer moved on, I grabbed white acrylic from time to time, experimented with one-staple collage, and brought more and more collage into the foundation of my pieces.
And then… I returned to my primary interest: black and white and ink and an overarching interest in creating and capturing a quiet moment.
I have a few cards from the summer that are incomplete and some that I don't really like. But I also have many that I love.
Curious about how things mapped out, I made a list last night. I wish I could have fit all 61 on the same card, but that didn't work, so my tracking chart spans 2 cards. Ultimately, there are other data points I would like to also chronicle and tally about this set of cards. I might do that digitally in a spreadsheet, a running archive that I can add to next year.
But last night I did a quick dive, a surface-level inventory of ICAD 2016. Negotiating the constraints of the card and unsure what categories I really wanted (something that became more clear after I started logging the full set!), I put in some primary categories and sat and went through the cards, noting in brief the prompt, what is on my card, and then things like: Did the card use the prompt? Is the card in color? Does the card feature a stuffed thing? Was this card whitewashed? Is there collage? Window? Chair?
As I logged the data, I realized there are some unfortunate gray areas in my columns, some areas of overlap… "color" was too vague… and "collage" was also too vague because gluing down a stamp and doing more extensive collage shouldn't both count in the same column. I would also want to add a column for watercolor or NeoColor II, a column for fabric, and even a column for stamps. I also want to include the dozen or more cards I did before ICAD started and how they fit into the rubric because I think they are interesting in terms of how I approached the cards this summer. But for an initial look at use of the prompts (even if I am the only one who might see how the prompt informed the final card) and the sub-themes of stuffed things, windows, and chairs, this was an awesome look at the last two months.

N. Experts from Iran, Six Powers to Hold Talks for Third Day
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Expert-level talks between delegates representing Iran and the Group 5+1 (the five permanent UN Security Council members plus Germany) are to stretch into the third consecutive day in the Austrian capital of Vienna on Wednesday, Iran's top negotiator said.
Iranian Foreign Ministry's Director General for International and Political Affairs Hamid Baeedinejad, who also heads the Iranian delegation in the ongoing talks, said on Tuesday night that the negotiations are to continue on Wednesday, December 11.
Experts from Iran, the United States, China, Britain, France, Germany, Russia, the European Union and the IAEA attended the meeting at the Vienna headquarters of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on Monday.
The expert-level talks are meant to find ways of implementing a landmark deal struck between Iran and the six major world powers over Tehran's nuclear program.
The two sides signed a six-month deal on Tehran's nuclear program after three rounds of intensive talks in the Swiss city of Geneva on November 24, which can set the stage to negotiate a comprehensive agreement on the nuclear program.
During the half-year period, Iran and the G5+1 are due to negotiate a comprehensive deal with the aim of resolving for good the standoff over Iran's nuclear program after a decade of on-off meetings and failed attempts.
"We have made our views known to each other with regard to the implementation aspects of each and every measure. That has been a very good exercise," Baeedinejad told reporters.
Western diplomats said issues not fully addressed at the November 20-24 talks in Geneva must be ironed out before the deal can be put into practice.
These include how and when the IAEA, which regularly visits Iranian nuclear sites, will carry out its expanded role.
"In the meetings over the past two days, we succeeded to conduct a review of the whole actions of the Geneva deal. Each of these actions were studied with their details, and (we discussed) what implementation grounds are available for each action," Baeedinejad said on Tuesday.
"The efforts were made with the aim of reaching a mutual understanding in connection with the implementation grounds for each of the agreements that were reached in Geneva," the Iranian diplomat added.
Meanwhile, AFP has quoted unnamed diplomates as saying that this round of expert-level talks is unlikely to result in an announcement of when Iran will start its promised six-month freeze of parts of its nuclear program, as agreed in a deal in Geneva in late November.
"It's certainly going well in terms of that the talks are lengthy and that they are constructive discussions," one Western envoy involved in the meeting in Vienna told AFP on condition of anonymity.
"My sense is that given that there are seven or eight entities involved with their own views it's inevitably going to take time."

SEOUL, Oct 8 (Reuters) - South Korea's Samsung Electronics Co Ltd said on Tuesday its third-quarter operating profit likely fell 56% from a year earlier, slightly better than analysts had expected.
The world's biggest semiconductor firm by revenue has struggled since late last year as a weak global economy and slower spending from data centre customers ended a two-year boom in the memory chip market where Samsung rakes in around two thirds of its entire profit.
Samsung said its operating profit was likely 7.7 trillion won ($6.44 billion) in the quarter ended September, down 56% from a record 17.6 trillion won a year ago but above the 7.1 trillion won average analyst forecast by Refinitiv SmartEstimate.
Revenue likely fell 5.3% to 62 trillion won from 65.5 trillion won a year ago, the company said.
Samsung's trading update on Tuesday gave estimates for operating profit and revenue only. Finalised figures and further details will be provided when the company announces its full results later this month.

|Religious symbols
graphic: Ratomir Wilkowski
"[111] These organizations or systems are "symbola" (σύμβολον = confession of faith) which enable man to set up a spiritual counterpole to his primitive instinctual nature, a cultural attitude as opposed to sheer instinctuality. This has been the function of all religions. For a long time and for the great majority of mankind the symbol of a collective religion will suffice. It is perhaps only temporarily and for relatively few individuals that the existing collective religions have become inadequate. Wherever the cultural process is moving forward, whether in single individuals or in groups, we find a shaking off of collective beliefs. Every advance in culture is, psychologically, an extension of consciousness, a coming to consciousness that can take place only through discrimination. Therefore an advance always begins with individuation, that is to say with the individual, conscious of his isolation, cutting a new path through hitherto untrodden territory. To do this he must first return to the fundamental facts of his own being, irrespective of all authority and tradition, and allow himself to become conscious of his distinctiveness. If he succeeds in giving collective validity to his widened consciousness, he creates a tension of opposites that provides the stimulation which culture needs for its further progress."
Jung, C. G., Collected Works of C.G. Jung, Volume 8: Structure & Dynamics of the Psyche: On Psychic Energy (p. 59). Princeton University Press. Kindle Edition.
Evolution is the continuous adaptation to new conditions and societies evolve through an influx of new ideas brought by individuals or (mostly small) groups. if the arriving group is too large, there can be an "island" of an unchanging culture, or the arriving culture might replace what is already there. In such cases, any change is usually due to an individual within the society who, through various circumstances, becomes distinct. It is no coincidence that the most important scientific discoveries have been made by individuals and not groups; It is no coincidence that most religions have been started by individuals, and descending from a core religion this also applies to sects. One example of many is Christianity with Jesus Christ as its originator, and Martin Luther starting another branch much later. However, if we go back further we can see that Christianity was also a branching of Judaism that incorporated aspects of the Greek mystery religions especially Dionysianism (Dionysos in one form was "twice-born" or "resurrected" and, much earlier, the same characteristic was embodied in the Egyptian Osiris myth.
If we go back far enough, the individual starts to vanish, but this is most likely the lack of perception rather than any reality. We can get an idea of this lack of perception in the traditional founding of Taoism by Lao Tse who is credited with composing the Tao Te Ching, It is generally believed that Lao Tse was not an actual individual and the Tao te Ching was a compilation of different Taoist texts. Taoism, itself evolved from the School of Yin Yang which was based on the most ancient of all Chinese Texts, the I Ching, which became much more than a system of divination and is also understood as a binary system of the nature of individual and societal changes. Jung, himself often used the I Ching until he found that he knew the answers before the results were delivered. Like all religions in their original state, the I Ching utilizes metaphors. It is only in relatively modern times that (mainly western) religions have absorbed historicity as not only a concept but a necessity. To unite the world views, historicity is a phenomenon of Logos as opposed to Mythos, and these equate, respectively, to Yang and Yin. We can also find a physics correlate to cultural evolutionary change within the differences between kinetic and static energy and the characteristics of the former.
Looking at various cultures through history, we can see them as a number of wheels each rotating at different speeds and the faster the wheel is rotating, the faster is its evolutionary change brought about by the influx of communications of varied ideas (kinetic energy). A culture that is unchanging is held together through static energy, the sort of energy that holds an atom together. The problem here being that society has never achieved the efficiency of a hydrogen atom and just as people are unable to evolve matter through atomic fusion, and can only currently destroy that cohesion through atomic fission, static societies always come to an end, Sometimes with a bang, sometimes with a whimper. They are "selected out" by evolution.
Individuals united by their opposite characteristics, and working together thus can achieve the most remarkable evolutionary changes in a culture. Each single individual, for this to happen, must be able to reconcile and use their own "tensions of opposites".

The door to tertiary education – open to whom?June 2014
The new reports on tertiary education enrolments and earnings need to be considered in the context of the high costs associated with being a student.
The release of two new reports shows that the proportion of New Zealanders studying higher qualifications is slowly increasing, and those with a qualification at degree or postgraduate level are likely to achieve greater earnings. But what about the high costs involved to get there? Tertiary student unions argue that the high costs of tuition and living are shutting people out of higher education and creating inequality in tertiary education.
One of the reports, Tertiary Education Enrolments 2013, showed that 56 per cent of study undertaken by New Zealanders was at degree or postgraduate level in 2013, compared with 48 per cent in 2005.
The enrolments report was released alongside an earnings report, What Young Graduates Earn When They Leave Study which revealed that people with a bachelor's degree or higher qualification on average earn 62 per cent more than those without a qualification.
"This updated research shows a large jump in earnings between those who hold a degree compared to those with a lower level qualification, and the return for those who study in some particular fields of study is greater," says Tertiary Education, Skills and Employment Minister Steven Joyce, alluding to the fact that graduates of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) subjects currently tend to earn more.
However, a closer look at the enrolments report shows an overall drop in tertiary education enrolments from 2012, with the number of public tertiary education enrolments declining, but increasing at private training establishments. It also shows an overall decline in the number of domestic students, while international student enrolments continue to increase.
These findings ask some uncomfortable questions about why this is happening.
Tertiary Education Union (TEU) national president Lesley Francey says current education policy is directly transferring both students and public money out of high quality public institutions, and into private companies.
"Private not-for-profit tertiary education providers have their place supporting the public education system. But other private companies should not be allowed to strip students and public funding from the universities, polytechnics, and wānanga."
The TEU also says the cost of being a student is too high and making tertiary education inaccessible for many New Zealanders.
Demands to reduce the cost of education and remove the financial barriers to students participating form the basis for TEU's latest Te Kaupapa Whaioranga blueprint document, launched earlier this year.
"Tertiary education is not primarily a public subsidy and skills factory for big business. It is about providing opportunities and hope for students and their local communities. If debt prevents students getting an education then our public education system is failing and our country is losing out," says Francey.
"The best way to demonstrate that we are committing our education system to the wellbeing of students first and foremost, rather than corporations, is not to saddle them with huge debts while they study."
Indeed, student debts are problematic for many, particularly in light of hefty tuition fees.
As part of its 2014 Budget strategy, the Government has announced an $83.3 million dollar subsidy for science, agriculture, and some health science courses; even so, there are still calls to make tertiary study more affordable for students.
Many students leave tertiary education with sizeable student debt. While this in itself is a deterrent to further study, New Zealand's student loan repayment scheme has also been criticised for being too severe.
The New Zealand Union of Students' Association's president, Daniel Haines, describes the student loan scheme, in which a domestic student earning over $19,084 must make compulsory 12 cents in the dollar repayments on their student loan, as "one of the most regressive in the world".
"By freezing the repayment rate in New Zealand at a level below full-time minimum wage, payments are imposed on those people who have the least ability to pay", said Haines.
Haines says student debt in New Zealand continues to grow and puts this down to the Government's cuts to student support. The student allowance has only experienced meagre increases over the past 15 years.
"Money cut from student support disproportionately affects postgraduate students who had their entitlement to receive allowances removed in 2012, students over 40 who have had their allowances restricted to 120 weeks, and students over 55 who have had all allowance eligibility completely removed," says Haines.
Indeed, the enrolments report shows that enrolments by older students fell at every qualification level from 2012 to 2013, with continued strong decreases in the number of enrolments in non-degree qualifications.
Haines believes we are heading towards a society of those who can afford to access higher learning, and those who cannot.
"Our public institutions should be open to those who have the ability to learn, not simply those with the ability to pay."
Haines also points to disparities between assistance for student housing costs and that for all other low income New Zealanders. The Accommodation Supplement entitles people to support of up to $145 per week in certain parts of Auckland, while housing support for students is capped at a maximum of $40 per week.
"Where's the incentive to move from a benefit into study, or from a low-paid job into having a qualification that could potentially move someone out of poverty, if that choice is completely unaffordable?"

Mount Rushmore is a massive stone sculpture on the side of a mountain face in South Dakota. From left to right, the movement features the faces of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln. The monument, which was carved and blasted from natural rock between 1927 and 1941, has become a major tourist attraction.
Lois and Peter trick Mel Gibson into falling to his death and they finish by making love on top of Mount Rushmore in "North by North Quahog".
Mount Rushmore is mentioned again in a cutaway mocking North Dakota in "Baking Bad".
During the song "Come On Home" in "Candy Quahog Marshmallow!", Peter, Joe, Cleveland and Quagmire's faces appear on Mount Rushmore when the guys try to convince Quagmire to leave South Korea after he had decided to stay.
Brian pursues a scam in "The New Adventures of Old Tom, comparing it to Theodore Roosevelt being on Mount Rushmore without having participated in a major event compared to the others.

Our HNC course is a strong foundation year in developing performance techniques, independent discipline and professional practices for entry into further full-time study in accredited drama schools or work in the profession. Emphasis will be given in the first term to preparation for auditions at drama schools, ensemble performance and personal development. Performance projects are the underlying foundation of the course. As members of our 'IntAct' Theatre Company students will work within a schedule that emulates that of a professional company, taking daily technique classes and rehearsals. Recent productions have performed during the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and local theatres. Students will also undertake research into performance practices and virtuosity, which will produce work within the scholarly conventions appropriate to an undergraduate level of study. At the end of the course students have the opportunity to celebrate their achievement with a full graduation ceremony at Chichester Cathedral.
Progress from this course can lead to places at an accredited drama School, University or directly into the profession. Recent graduates have attained places at Guildhall, Guildford, E15 and Rose Bruford.

A new feature this year in honour of the 100-year mark is called the 'Bells of Peace'
Goderich commemorates 100 years since ending of WWI
Marking 100 years since the armistice that concluded the First World War, Remembrance Day this year holds a greater weight.
To commemorate a century of remembrance and local, fallen Veterans, Goderich Legion Branch 109 launched their banner campaign leading up to the Nov. 11 ceremonies.
Adorned on the light posts by the entrance of the cenotaph at Courthouse Square, each banner honours a local Veteran.
The banner campaign is a reminder of the sacrifices made by local soldiers in the last 100 years for our freedom of democracy and human rights.
"The 100th Anniversary of the Armistice of the Great War reminds us all, of the price we as Canadians paid for our Freedom," Paul Thorne, Veterans Service Officer for Branch 109 says.
"It also reminds us how important it is to remember those who served in all our wars and those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for the freedom we all enjoy today."
A new feature this year in honour of the 100-year mark is called the 'Bells of Peace'.
The initiative from the Royal Canadian Legion invites churches in Goderich, and in other communities across the country, to ring their bells 100 times in the evening of Nov. 11 (7pm).
During the Great War (WWI) church bells would ring 10 times if an attack was imminent in a community, then five times to sound the all-clear.
The 'Bells of Peace' initiative recalls that intention by ringing 100 times in remembrance of sacrifices made during war.
"I also believe that we must continue to support those who continue to serve in uniform today safeguarding the peace we enjoy today," adds Thorne.
On Remembrance Day, Goderich residents will gather at the cenotaph at Courthouse Square for the annual ceremony at 11am.
Leaving from the Goderich Legion at 10:45am on Nov. 11, members of Branch 109, a pipe band and dignitaries will march to the cenotaph to honour the fallen.

CNS—neuronal canonical and non-canonical pathways observed to be regulated by mTBI compared to sham, and the effects of post-injury treatment with phenserine on mTBI-regulated pathways are presented.
2016-06-02T03:45:17Z (GMT) by
R* refers to Reactome. Most pathways were observed to be down regulated by mTBI, with only two that were up regulated. Two pathways were associated with neurodegenerative disease: 'Blalock Alzheimer's Disease Up' and 'Biocarta Parkin Pathway'. While post-injury treatment of animals with phenserine had no effect on the majority of pathways, one Alzheimer's disease-related pathway was further regulated by this drug. Drug treatment reversed the effects of mTBI on the Alzheimer's disease pathway.

Integrated AV Unlocks the Future of Higher Education

For many educators, the rapid technological growth of the digital era has presented unique challenges. Ask a high school teacher, and you're likely to hear about students distracted by their phones, conditioned to multiple screens and constant streams of content.

Technology Solutions for the K-12 Campus
Today, school administrators are concerned about mobile learning initiatives, network capacity demands and security breaches. New initiatives such as Common Core online assessments and one-to-one learning programs require a robust network. Students are using devices like Chromebooks for everyday class work, and teachers are relying on the network for lesson plans and testing. As the need for a reliable network becomes more vital for the students and staff, the health and safety of the network become more critical. The demand for a more secure network is even more apparent with the recent headlines. Hackers are targeting schools to acquire student and staffs information which is increasing the concern of security breaches for many school administrators. Luckily, there are network solutions available to alleviate the concerns of security breaches while meeting the network capacity and mobile learning demands. Solutions such as the latest product offering from SonicWALL-Next Generation Firewall (NGFW).

CCS Episode 20 – You Must Defeat Sheng LongPosted by DKellis in card captor sakura, tags: ccs summary project, light punch light punch forward light kick heavy punch
Episode 20 of Card Captor Sakura, "Transfer Student vs. Sakura", introduces probably the most popular anime-original character in CCS, Li Meiling, voiced by one Yukana Nogami, before she decided to change her listed name to simply Yukana, and voiced notables as Teletha Testarossa (Full Metal Panic), Reinforce Zwei (Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS), and Honoka Yukishiro/Cure White (Pretty Cure). This does mean that whenever Meiling opens her mouth, I suddenly hear traces of Rein Zwei in there somewhere.
It makes for some odd mental images.
Not many Tomoyo screenshots this time, but plenty of Meiling ones, since this is her primary debut episode (not counting the cameo in the previous). Also, plenty of comedically super-deformed facial expressions, keeping the overall feel of the episode light-hearted, despite the Kung Fu Action going on.
I don't have a great deal to say in this summary, because it's fifteen minutes to midnight on Friday, and I just managed to eke out enough time this week to write this entry. I'm looping Ievann Polkka to keep awake; tomorrow I shall no longer be sane.

WORCESTER — Hanover Theatre representatives said the Feb. 6 Bill Cosby performance has been canceled.
President and Chief Executive Officer Troy Siebels said the theater had been rented out by promoter Bill Blumenreich for the stand-up performance by the legendary comedian and that the decision to cancel the show was entirely up to the promoter.
"He has apparently come to an agreement with Bill Cosby's agent to do so," Mr. Siebels said. "I do think we are relieved. It's not a situation anybody wanted to be in, but our image in the community means a lot to us and I know that there are those who will be relieved not to see him appear here."
In recent months, Mr. Cosby, 77, has faced sexual assault allegations from more than 15 women, with some claims dating back decades. The actor and comedian, who has never been charged, has denied the allegations.
Mr. Cosby's ongoing tour across North America has encountered opposition, including hecklers chanting Friday night during Mr. Cosby's show in Ontario, "We believe the women." The Associated Press reported the hecklers walked out of the theater in protest, with the comedian asking his audience not to react.
"I want to thank all of you here tonight because you stayed with what you believed in," Mr. Cosby said at the time.
Mr. Siebels said refunds will continue to be offered to those who had purchased tickets.
The page on the Hanover Theatre's website allowing visitors to buy tickets for the Cosby performance has also been disabled.
Additionally, the Hanover has booked comedian Wanda Sykes for May 15. If ticket purchasers wish, they may exchange their tickets for seating in that show before tickets go on sale to the public next Tuesday, Jan. 20, Mr. Siebels said.
In a theater that seats 2,300, 1,300 tickets had been sold for Mr. Cosby's performance, with about a third of those already refunded, Mr. Siebels said.
"Most people have been understanding. We've certainly had some complaints but most people have been understanding," Mr. Siebels said. "It does hurt us a little bit financially. We would have received rent the day and revenues from the show, but the long-term is more important to us."
Mr. Cosby's Jan. 31 performance at Foxwoods Resort and Casino in Connecticut was postponed indefinitely late last year. His next comedy performance date is Jan. 16 in Pueblo, Colorado, according to his official website.
Dual Feb. 8 performances at the Wilbur Theater in Boston remain listed, with tickets available ranging in price from $57.20 to $108.
The Hanover Theatre says it plans to contact ticket purchasers for Mr. Cosby's performance within the next 24 hours. Ticket holders may call the box office at (508) 831-0800.

The large number of migrant communities in Chicago has made definitive contributions to the food scene in the city -- eating out in this city means you can try out cuisine from all over the world. Places range from the cheap to the pricey, depending on location and ambience. Check out the oriental flavors of Thai cuisine or exotic Vietnamese fare. Burmese and spicy Indian delicacies tickle the palate. The Italian piazza and German sausage provide succor to the more conventional palate. Amidst all this choice of international flavors do not miss out on that all American hearty meal of barbequed ribs!
Though restaurants are scattered all over the city, a good concentration of them are in the Loop.
Chicago is a city that celebrates the good times -- be it in the boisterous nightlife venues or the more sedate performing arts centers. From the start, Chicago's nightclubs have been among the best in the country, spawning musical trends such as urban blues, house music and jazz. Bars specially sports bars, pubs, nightclubs, saloons, and dance clubs are spread all over the city and are great places to while away an evening.
Halsted Street has the city's highest concentration of gay bars and the singles bars are all located in Rush Street. Chicago's ballet, theater and classical music scene are equally vibrant. There are regular world-class performances in the many theaters in the city.
For a list of events get hold of a copy of The Chicago Reader or New City, and you will be able to plan your evenings according to your taste.
If you are visiting the Loop area leave your car behind. It is difficult and expensive to park. For out lying areas and the suburbs the car will prove to be very convenient.

The Shadow Cipher ('York' #1) by Laura Ruby {Reviewed by STELLA}
It's New York, but not as you know it. Laura Ruby's new series 'York' is an intriguing story about three children trying to save a building from developers. The book opens with a scene set in 1855 - a feisty young woman, Ava, is getting the better of a man who has followed her through the streets of New York. He's after information about her employers, the famous Morningstarr twins. The genius twins were great inventors and magnificent engineers. They created mechanical machines (bugs and caterpillars) that cleaned the streets, underways and overways with sleek silver carriages, solar winged cars, buildings with complex elevators that go every which way, and other mechanical wonders and automata. The action quickly moves to present-day New York where Tess and Theo Biedermann (geeky twins named after the Morningstarrs) live in a Morningstarr building. Determined not to be booted out of their building, they get together with fellow resident and friend Jamie and set about solving a puzzle, The Old York Cipher, a puzzle that people have been trying to solve for over one hundred years. There are clues all over New York; there is even a dedicated society that spends hours collecting information and analysing the clues in a giant and wondrous archive. Yet few have got beyond the first clue. Tess, Theo and Jamie are great characters who bounce off each other and offer different perspectives to solve the cipher. The first of this trilogy, this book is called The Shadow Cipher, which implies that it's possible that everyone's been looking in the wrong places, or maybe there's more than one cipher. This sets up the series nicely and leaves enough hanging to keep you looking forward to the next volumes. Add to this cross-bred and genetically altered 'pets' or 'service animals' - Tess has a wonder cat-wolf called Nine; a whole host of great side characters - the younger children in the apartment building, Cricket - a imaginative, sly and sharp six year old - and her brother Otto (a ninja, of course); the very tall Mr Stoop and very short Mr. Pinscher, henchmen of the property developer, Slant; and a fantastical New York dotted with the Morningstarrs' technology, and plenty of city history woven into the story line. An enjoyable, page-turning adventure with clues, mysteries, strange consequences and extremely likeable characters.

Private tutoring can be very helpful if you're struggling in a particular subject, or if you simply wish to brush up your skills. However, the rates can easily exceed what you or your parents are able to afford.
In fact, the average cost of private tutoring services ranges from $10 to $15 per hour, according to Care.com. If you wish to step it up a notch and receive help from a licensed educator with several years of experience, expect to pay up to $75 per hour.
Whew! That's a ton of money for a teenager, and probably much more than you make on an hourly basis at your job. So I'm almost certain you don't want to spend all your hard earned cash to cover the costs. Fortunately, there are tons of other options for you to get the help you need without breaking the bank.
- After-School Homework Help
Does your school offer after-school homework help? If so, it's probably free to attend, so you should definitely look into signing up for the next few sessions to get the assistance you need.
- Homework Club
Have you considered your school's homework club? Yes, I know it sounds really corny, but it beats paying out of pocket for services you could receive for free from your peers. Plus, there's always a chance you'll meet a few new friends along the way and finish the course you were once struggling in with flying colors.
- Online Programs
We all know how powerful Google is. Anytime I'm uncertain about something, I simply type it into Google, and tada! An answer magically appears. So why not do the same to find free assistance online for the subjects you're struggling in? My personal favorite sites are the Khan Academy and The Math Page.
- YouTube
Beyond free online tutoring sites, YouTube is a another viable option, as it's chock full of tutorials on practically every subject you can think of. You may have to do a little digging, but rest assured – you'll eventually find what you need.
- Peer-to-Peer Tutoring
How about the genius you sit next to in English, math, or science class who always seems to blow every assignment and test out of the water? If the two of you happen to be acquainted with one another, why not ask for a little help, if time permits? Your grades will thank you!
- Relatives and Friends
Don't be afraid to tap a parent's or guardian's personal and professional network. Here's what I mean: if you mom's best friend is a math teacher, ask for help. If they have a little room in their schedule, chances are that they'll be more than willing to help.
And don't forget about older siblings. While they may be a pain in your neck, they can also serve as the best free resource you could have.
A Final Thought
Now that you have more than enough alternatives to private tutoring, there's no excuse to continue pulling your hair out about your most difficult classes. Happy studying, and here's to a successful school year!
