The Future Jungle Blog was created by myself in April 2011, by November Tariq had joined the team and over the coming years gradually took over the day to day running of the blog, the soundcloud page and the Facebook page.
We have always done this for the love of the music and have invested a great deal of our time and money to try and get the music we love out to peoples ears.
Recently our main source of output, Soundcloud has changed in a massive way and unfortunately this has meant that to organisations like ourselves who try to promote other people's music that we hold no rights to, even with their permission in many cases can fall foul of copyright law.
This has meant that we have now had 3 strikes on Soundcloud and are soon expecting a ban.
With the renewal of our Pro account due at the end of September Myself and Tariq have jointly decided that with regret , it is not only time to stop our renewal of our pro account but also to call it a day on The Future Jungle Blog as a whole.
We would like to thank all of you that have ever had any involvement with the blog in any way shape or form because without you we wouldn't have been able to keep it up for as long as we did.
We have both thoroughly enjoyed our time involved with the blog but feel it's time for something new.
We share a very broad appreciation for Bass Music as a whole and you can rest assured that we will be seen again together in a new project in the not too distant future.
Thanks to you all.

What is Protestant Art? offers a brief introduction to the field of Protestant visual culture. It argues that the diversity of images and visual practices throughout Protestant history might better be described by the term 'visual culture' than the term 'art.' Examining images from the Reformation to the twentieth century, this review essay showcases the breadth of ways Protestants have put images to work in their religious practices. Containing dozens of illustrations, What is Protestant Art? provides the reader with an overview of current research on Protestant visual culture, as well as discussions of representative examples from five hundred years of Protestant imagery.

Our group has been breaking up for the last day. Some have left to go on a side trip to visit Petra in Jordan. Others have left for the airport. As always, saying "Goodbye," brings feelings of loss as a community comes to an end. The fifteen of us became a supportive and friendly group in just a few days. It has been good. We represent England, Australia, New Zealand, Thailand, New Guinea, and America. Of the 15, 9 are Roman Catholic, 2 are Presbyterian, 1 United Reformed (England), 1 United Methodist, 1 Anglican, and me the 1 Lutheran. It has been a good mix. We all took turns leading evening prayer. This gave us opportunities to experience each others traditions.
Moving on to the overall plan from Tantur, I have appreciated the pattern and flow of the month. Week one was an immersion in Jerusalem. We visited many churches including the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. We drove to the top of the Moun of Olives and walked our way down. I confess to getting "churched out" after awhile. I was relieved to learn that I was in the company of many.
Week two is when we went north to the Galilee area. We stayed two nights in Nazareth and two nights in Tiberias which is on the shore of the Sea of Galilee. It was good to explore that area. We looked at archaeological sites, a number of churches, and the natural surroundings. It was soon obvious that the north country receives more rain and is much more fertile. In addition, it gets more water from mountain runoff. We were glad to go be in the area where Jesus lived most of his life. One special place was to go to the seaside village of Capernaum and see some first century ruins. It is possible that Jesus had spent time in those homes.
Week three, we went south and east into the desert. We visited Masada and Qumran. We saw Beer sheba and an outpost of the desert tribe known at the Nabateans. We walked into a canyon and listened to Scripture and the silence of the desert.
Week four was back in Jerusalem but the schedule was lighter. I think this was meant to give us more time to reflect on our experiencs. A particularly strong experience was going onto the Temple Mount/Haram al Sharif and entering both the Dome of the Rock and the Al Aqsa Mosque.
Throughout we had a number of lectures and presentations. We learned about the geography of the area. We looked at the Gospel of Matthew through the shame/honor lens. We looked at the stories of other ancient peoples and how they may have influenced the Bible. We learned more about the background of the Jewish festival/liturgical calendar. We heard from the leader of the Machsom Watch which is a group of Israeli women who monitor check points among other work.
In addition we went to museums such as the Israel Museum, the Tower of David, and Nazareth Village.
It has been a rich time of community and exploration in a variety of ways. I hope that it will make the stories more vivid as I read the Bible. (That being said, there were a number of places which we did not have the time to go to. As usual, there is always more.)
Yesterday, Friday, for our last day together, we went into the western side of the Jerusalem area. We visited two churches which are close to one another. The first was the Church of the Visitation which celebrates the time Mary went to visit Elizabeth. In Luke, that is when Mary sings the Magnificat.
This statue is in the courtyard of the Church of the Visitation. I found it to be a wonderful portrayal of the meeting between young Mary and old Elizabeth, both of whom had been especially blessed.
The next church we went to was to the Church of the Nativity of John the Baptist. This congregation celebrates the birth of John who came to make the way ready for Jesus.
After that, we drove into the hills to get a view of the western Judean wilderness. The west is significantly different than the east due to the fact that it gets more rain. The following clip shows a bit of this area.
After this, we drove to a nice restaurant for our "last lunch". As always, there was plenty to eat and eat we did!
This is our group less the three who had already left to go to Petra.
With this, I will bring the Israel section of the sabbatical blog to a close. As I said, I fly out tomorrow for Rome and plan to meet Gay at the Da Vinci airport on Monday. (We hope to connect without the help of cell phones!) This is the longest we have been apart in 35 years of marriage.
I will close with a photo I took a couple of days ago. Several of us went on a walk into a valley just to the east of Tantur. It has a fairly large hillside with an olive orchard running throughout. When we had gone down a bit, one of our group spotted a shepherd with his sheep just below the crest of the hill. The sun was setting and we climbed up to get a closer look.
May the Good Shepherd be with us all to give us hope, life, love, and the call to follow.
God bless!

Day 21 Soul Smashing.. 30 day Journal Project. Obviously I have not done this in 30 continuous days lol.
"It's hard to go. It's scary and lonely… and half the time you'll be wondering why the hell you're in Cincinnati or Austin or North Dakota or Mongolia or wherever your melodious little finger-plucking heinie takes you.
There will be boondoggles and discombobulated days, freaked-out nights and metaphorical flat tires.
But it will be soul-smashingly beautiful..
It will open up your life."
— Cheryl Strayed
It has opened up my life…
Oh absolutely. I mean it gives me a story to tell unlike anyone else's stories. I am just going to share this little moment I had recently.
I have a heap of books on the go. Don't look at my Good Reads account and my personal list of books I've added there.. lol I have SO MANY books on it that I have started reading and stopped and picked up something else. Oh my. My latest addition is 'The Artist's Way' because a reference to it keeps showing up over and over and I am taking it as a sign. 🙂
In this book it suggests doing morning pages. 3 pages of writing anything at all just to get it on the page and out of you. Apparently this is supposed to help unclog our creative flow. Even if all you can say is 'I cannot write today I have nothing to say.' over and over. Getting yourself into a writing ritual and it isn't meant to be pondered and it's just for your own eyes.
I have done Morning pages for two days now.
I found myself writing about the difficulties I have had with other people who have gossiped about me and how it has possibly ruined my reputation or clouded people's opinions of me. I will not quote myself here because it's personal and I have never learned to write in such a way people cannot see right through me. I am not about ruining anyone else either. Of course I am not 100% about what things these tongues are saying about me. It is just that a lot of people have been indifferent towards me for quite some time and if I put two and two together I suspect that this is what has happened. I have had fall outs with a few people and I have spoken about such here on my blog and on social media. Never to out or gossip about people but to cope with it, survive it. Anyway I was sharing about this today in my Morning Pages and something else completely unrelated came into my path almost immediately after.
It has amazed me and indeed smashes my soul and is perfect for this prompt for Day 21 of 30 days.
I randomly picked up a book of Sonnets by William Shakespeare and was flicking through it. The thought bouncing around inside my head was that possibly reading one sonnet a day could help my creative inspiration or even just that I could see if the book was worth keeping. I have a very bad habit of collecting books and art supplies and 'gulp' not always using them. I have been slowly weeding out one thing daily and today I wanted to see if this one was worth keeping for reading, cutting up, or getting rid of. Yes I do cut up good books but most of them I pick up second hand at thrift stores so although it is still strange to cut up books I feel more justified doing so with old/used books.
At first glance I thought why am I bothering with such writing. Old style poetry/sonnets? Kept browsing looking for pics to cut out and keep and I was almost going to just ditch it when I found a sonnet with crow pics that caught my eye. I love crows. I see them all the time when I walk and I don't know they seem to watch over me almost. Keep me company because they are simply always there.. I identify with them. They are seen as a bad omen by some yet I see great goodness in them. Birds created by God and HE takes care of them. Many scriptures about God caring for birds.
So I gave the sonnet No.70 my undivided attention. I can thank the recent Mental health and literature University course I've done for teaching me the value and strength of writing like this. To look deeper into it. Not expecting every word to make sense but to read out loud or ponder it and stay with it's words and meanings and identify with the heart of the poet/author. I even went on-line to see if I could find the actual poets meaning of it. Lo and behold it echoed much the same as my feelings and thoughts I had written in my Morning pages, of course not in so eloquent of words but woah!!!
Just like that a bridge appears in my life. A bridge that connects me here in the future to the past, via my own frustrations and struggles and links me to what William Shakespeare for his own reasons wrote so very long ago. It is at this point I'm blown away with the unique timing of it's appearing. The similarity spanning ages and my soul just sighs.
I can't help acknowledging God immediately. I just sit and let the moment sink in. I just see so clearly as I study the words in the sonnet that the similarities found show something much deeper and far more reaching is at work. I think my jumbled and mis-matched life just makes it that much more of a miracle that this sort of connection happens. It kind of says to me something greater is working in and through us all which does link past, present and future.
I AM going to cut this sonnet out and use it in an art journal page. How mysterious that a sonnet penned so very long ago connects with me in 2017 and so beautifully describes to me similar feelings. It encourages me that all is not lost. Using Crows as well none the less.
Strengthening me that such things said about oneself shall not be to one's defect! One's worth shown to be greater simply because tongues have indeed risen against.
Such moments of connection do indeed happen so often in my creative life that I swoon over them and it is why I naturally want to be arty. Heart is overjoyed and my whole outlook is lighter. I feel a huge overriding sense of a past and present oneness of Spirit and at least at this moment can see it all melds together. That no matter what happens and how strange it might seem all peoples' throughout time have experienced such. Identifying a similarity, a common thread and it comforts me. I am helped by these words in this sonnet which I will copy a pic from the book here below.. It is extraordinary.
I think to myself. For something as powerful as a connection like this to happen in a small tiny random moment in my life. How much more is happening out there to all of us that maybe we are not yet aware of but it IS still out there working beautifully and hopefully my sharing might make someone else notice soul smashing moments too. Gives one incredible fortitude to think of the similarity of Spirit connecting us all.

|A Failed Confession
|Roslin attempts to give an informal confession and seek counseling. What begins as a religious lesson ends in a minor power struggle.
|OOC Date:
|December 26, 2013
|Roslin's Room
|Only half of this great room (or rooms) is visible, as the first thing any guest will see upon entering is that the front of the room has been partitioned by a floor-to-ceiling velvet curtain of royal Kilgour purple. The room itself is comfortable, scholarly and simple, with a shelve of books, papers, and scrolls by the table and chairs set near the window, low comfortable seating by the fire, and walls decorated with tapastries of historical events.
|Inouv 36, 228
It has been many days since her last confession. Months, truly, since Blessed Luna left to go and witness a marriage pact in Jadda. But of course, as it is well-known now, the whole trip came to naught. And so, life continues to turn onward. The Princess, in the absence of any religious hand, will no doubt have sins to confess and prayers to offer, in addition to recounting all that has happened while her confessor was away.
With all this in mind Roslin invited Blessed Luna to her chambers. The place is much as it ever was - a curtain drawn to hide the back from prying eyes, comfortable seats by the fire, a table and chairs by the shuttered window, tapestries and books. The only difference now is the sheer number of papers on the Princess' table, the well-used ink and quill and her own hands, stained with black smudges of the stuff. Perhaps that is why she sits as she does, in front of her fire, her hands soaking in a bowl of strong-smelling lemon liquid. Her hair is up in a regal crown of braids today, and sitting upon it is a gold tiarra to match the gold eight-pointed star around her throat. She wears a familiar gown too - the brown and burnt ochre one, with a skirt and back and arms pressed with a pattern of brocade leaves and vines, and an ochre underskirt and bodice, lined with freshwater pearls. When Luna arrives, she will be shown in immediately.
Only a summons by her charge has allowed Luna to be pulled away from the many tasks involving the currently running Festival of Lights. Atop her usual light scent of vanilla and tiger lily swirls the far more tantalizing combination of spiced meats and fried sweet cakes from the many food vendors at the faire grounds. The moment she is inside, she waits for the click of the door before pressing her gloved palms together and dipping her head. A warm smile curves her lips, one of true pleasure at seeing the princess again after all this time.
"It has been far too long, Your Highness. Please accept my deepest apologies." What is this? She actually spoke before being addressed? There is a note of excitement in her tone, perhaps an indication of her emotions overcoming her training for a brief moment. After whipping her cloak off and resting it upon a nearby chair, her long legs quickly move to cover the space between them. If allowed, she will gently grasp Roslin's hands in a more familiar greeting
Roslin removes her hands from the bowl as the Blessed enters, allowing her maid to dry them off without so much as a motion from her. She then rises, and offers a bow in return. Respectful, as always. "No apologies are necessary, Blessed." She looks down as her hands are taken, and smiles, and does not pull away. "I understand how very busy you are with the Festival. I was there yesterday, everything is exceptionally well-done this year. I was most impressed. But please, come and sit. Have some wine. I imagine there is much to discuss. I suppose I do not need to ask you how things transpired on your trip. I know already that I shall be no Jaddan Queen. And perhaps it is for the best." Roslin nods to the maid who sets out a tray of two cups and a pitcher of warm, mulled wine. And then the woman removes herself entirely, moving behind the curtain to see to other duties. The women are alone.
Luna is quick to take the invitation to sit, settling the skirt of her robe as she listens. "Indeed, it is all rather fantastic. The acolytes have worked exceptionally hard this year, perhaps hoping this will be what is needed to put them in full cloth." Her lips briefly quirk into a smirk before she sobers slightly.
"It is true you shall be no Jaddan Queen, at least not as matters stand. I could go into the nuances of every wrong turn taken, but at the heart of it, the issue was that I do not believe your father fully grasped the manner in which a king who believes himself to be a god would expect to be treated. There was not a moment of rudeness on your father's side, but I do not feel he expected the wall of sheer arrogance he would encounter. Had I been able to speak at that meeting, I believe matters could have gone quite differently." Her head shakes softly. "But no matter. Clearly, the Eight wished us to understand just what kind of ally we would have had with such a match. It is not one we would want to rely on."
Sharp eyes take in the full measure of the princess' attire. Motioning toward the dress, she grins and notes, "I see you are not wearing any new gowns, Your Highness. Most would have forgotten about their penance in the absence of their personal confessor." Not that many have such a thing. "You are to be commended. Please, tell me of the other aspects you have worked on."
Ah, this is a rare occasion. "As one who has stood beside Kings and Princes and diplomats as they make their dealings, Blessed, I can often say I have felt the same. But in doing so I have learned that simply because I feel I could handle the situation better does not mean that I could. My father is the best man for such things - if it could not be done through him, then it could not be done." Yes, chastizing the Priestess! Roslin takes a little enjoyment out of the moment, but otherwise seems to be sincere in how she speaks. She moves, then, to pour her a cup of wine, and then herself one too.
"My mother is in posession of all my other gowns. I do not have a confessor that I may feign to kneel before the Gods. I do wish to be better, and even if you do not see me, they do." The pitcher is set down and the cup is lifted. "To the Gods. May they protect us in the coming year." She takes a sip.
"I confess, my pennance with my brother has not gone so well. He endeavored to order my maids in secret the day before he planned to have our day together. When I could not convince my own girl to speak the truth of their plot to me, I had her removed. So she did not know to dress me to my brother's liking and lead me out to the walls of the keep in the middle of the night. When I arrived, my brother was very unhappy that he considered me to be poorly dressed for the occasion. I did not disagree, as per our arrangement. But he decided that our day could not move forward then, due to my attire, and as such I was no longer required to obey him unquestioningly. It was my thought to him that he could not use our pennance to herald more than the day's full obedience from me - he disagreed, stating that the plans made earlier in the day related to the religious events. It was determined we should wait until you could offer clarification on the issue." This is what happens when they're left unattended, Luna.
Strangely, the priestess does not seem the least bit chastised. "His Majesty is the /only/ man for such a thing, due to his position. While another, had he that same position, may well have been able to negotiate a marriage for his princess, the price to be paid would likely have been higher than either your father or you would be able to reconcile."
The cup is lifted in silent gratitude for the drink and in response to the toast, although Luna takes only a small sip. Temperance is a virtue. The tale of the day with the Crown Prince, or rather the day that wasn't, has her brow gently lifting. "He may have had a wondrous day planned, one that you might have greatly enjoyed." There is a hint of doubt in her tone, but she pushes ahead all the same. "Still, I can see why you were put out by the matter. I cannot clarify until I know precisely what he had planned."
"I daresay you shall speak to him on the matter," Roslin says with a smirk. Tyrel manages to irk Luna, clearly, as much as he does Roslin. But then, such irks are only ever done out of love, affection, or admiration.
Roslin sips her wine again, lowering the cup to set easily between her hands. "As I have said, Blessed Luna. I have tried to live by your advise while you have been away. I have to admit I am exceptionally glad to have you back again. Some things … have happened in your absence. The most startling was teh death of my brother's lover and her bastard. We don't know it was a bastard, but it is highly suspected. You have heard?"
A blink is the only response Luna gives at first. Then the fingers begin quietly drumming on the side of her cup. "He seemed rather infatuated with his lady wife. It surprises me to hear he would have taken a mistress as well." After a brief pause, she adds, "At least, so soon thereafter. Soon enough to give her a child as well." Pursing her lips, she asks, "He lost his wife and their unborn child along with his mistress and hers? Goodness, it is no wonder he will not leave his room."
Ros looks with furrowed brows to Luna. "No … he had no mistress. None steady, that I knew of, at any rate. The … woman he married." That's as close as Roslin will get to calling the woman his wife. She shakes her head a little bit. "Caillin lost her babe, and now Logen loses his and his woman with it. The Gods, I think, are exacting their punishment on them."
Roslin doesn't seem joyful at the realization that her siblings are getting their comeuppence, but more resigned to the fact. "What I say has little enough to do with me, I know. But I thought it should be said - that you should know. I would ask you to speak to my sister, for I have not seen her since the attack as I do not think I would bring her any pleasure, but she has gone to Dellhaven after the guards and her maid were punished for their negligence. A minor punishment, it should be noted." Roslin sips again.
Confusion lifts, smoothing Luna's brow. "Ah, his wife in the eyes of the Eight. That makes more sense." There is a heaviness to the words, a clear reminder to Roslin that her judgment does not overrule the gods in marriage matters.
"I had thought to see your sister, Your Highness, but I heard she would take no visitors. And then, as you noted, she was gone." Her lips twist briefly, only smoothing to sip her wine. "Minor, indeed. It is a wonder they still breathe. Were this terrible fate to befall the wife of the Crown Prince, it would have ended differently for those negligently responsible, I wager."
Roslin's own mouth is drawn into a frown. A most unhappy frown. "I told Caillin's husband as much. He resented it - he thought me bloodthirsty when I called for their heads. Weeks went by with no punishment offered. I was … horrified to see how little regard for his wife and child this Baron has. He was raised into his position due to his marriage to her, which was made because of her impropriety. And when punishment did come, it was less than the servants of Logen and Caitlyn recieved, and their only crime was allowing carnal knowledge," whatever that means. "to pass between them. Not the death of a babe, the mauling of a Princess. I fear the man is not capable in his position, that my family has put too much faith in him." Roslin waves a dismissive hand, pouring herself another cup of wine.
"Mother is furious with me. She has indicated that I cause her as much pain as Logen has because I cannot forgive him. So I have endeavored to tell him he is forgiven. Even if I cannot, in my heart, bring such forgiveness about, I will not be like him. I will not be stubborn, and hurt my mother." Though the stubornness and her own hurt is there, plain, on her face.
"It is hardly a wonder the Crown Prince reacted so poorly to a light jest I made the other day. He noted there has been too much impropriety of late, to the point that even the hint of a joke of such set him quite on edge." Luna shakes her head slowly. "I apologized, believing it was only the matter of Prince Logen which fueled his words. I see now it runs deeper than that."
Her mouth tugs into a slow frown. "I will seek audience with your mother and father, together and separately, to get the full measure of all that has occurred." This is at least a three-sips-of-wine kind of conversation, and so she wets her mouth with the beverage once more. "I agree the Baron may require a… closer eye upon him."
There is silence as she watches Roslin, consideringly. After a bit, she asks, "Would your pride increase as a result of doing this? I am concerned you will think yourself even better than him than you already do. To perform an act of humility, while feeling excessive pride over it, rather defeats the purpose for you. Not for your mother, but certainly for you."
Roslin shakes her head. "I have not considered it in the way you describe, only that I do not wish to be like him. When mother first said these things to me …" Roslin is hurt, wounded, and angry. It shows on her face like letters on a page. "I wanted to reject her wishes and deny her their outcome. I did not give myself over to temptation, I did not toss aside my family for some woman, I did not do these great wrongs - how could she be equally angry with me as she is with him?" Roslin heaves a little sigh, calming herself. "But I knew that to cause her further pain would make me the same as him and all the pain he has caused. And I have no desire to be like that. I … did not really think about that decision comparatively. Just that I wish to be better."
Luna slowly nods. "So long as you say to yourself, in your own mind, that you are doing this for your mother's sake and to be better than the person you were yesterday, not better than any other. Not even him." A small smile makes its way up the priestess' cheeks. "I understand how your mother could have ire toward you both over the matter. It is not equal, though it may feel that way. Understand she expects much more from you, as you do from yourself. As such, the bar for your behavior is higher."
"I feel she is forgiving him when he has not earned forgiveness, or even truly asked for it. He stumbles around, drunk more often than not, moaning about what a terrible man he is. I wish he would … stand up and be a man. Control his life. That is what I desire from him - to see him come out of this a better, stronger man. For that I would gladly forgive. As I cannot, now, I shall simply have to tell mother and Logen that he is forgiven, and try and keep my own anger away."
The Princess sighs, shaking her head. "But no more of this - I shalln't take more time on him just now. There is something closer to me that I wish to discuss as well. If you do not mind some manner of … confession to you, now. Though we are not in the temple." Roslin shifts, a little uncomfortably.
Luna simply dips her head when the issue of Logen is extrapolated, then brought to a close for the nonce. She leans forward ever so slightly as the conversation turns more personal. "Of course. Would you like this to be a formal confession or would you rather work through it by speaking before making it official, as it were?"
"We may as well speak now, lest you … misunderstand as my mother did, during a confession. I would not wish the Gods to have the wrong idea about what I may have done wrong." The mention of her mother makes Roslin a bit unhappy again.
"There is … a man, Blessed. A man that I have done nothing with and shall never do anything with. A man who is nothing but the pinnacle of propriety. But when I am with him … sometimes I am nervous, excited, frightened. Sometimes I feel more daring than I should. I control these feelings as much as I can. But mother indicated that it might be the first inklings of love or lust. These, as I understand, are some of the positively worst sins. I would have them scrubbed from my soul and mind as much as I am able."
Doing her best to hide a smirk behind taking another sip of wine, Luna simply listens to the poor girl. She tastes the liquid on her lips, pressing them together and leaving them that way for a moment before setting the cup down. "With all due respect, your mother may be jumping to stronger conclusions than I would. It is understandable, considering the history with your brother and sister. You come from a passionate family." Understatement of the year.
"However, love is a long way from what you have described. Aside from that, love is no sin at all." Something softens in her gaze, then grows pained. "Sometimes a situation or station prevents it from growing into anything more, but to feel love for another is not punishable in any way." Her voice and expression smooth once more. "Certainly, if you know it is doomed from the beginning, there are precautions you may take to halt or slow the growth of emotion. In truth, it sounds to me more like an infatuation, at least for now. Is there any way to avoid spending much time with him? Additionally, you may be wearing rose-colored glasses, but do you know any who are more familiar with his faults?"
"No, Blessed," Roslin responds, surprisingly meek and uncomfortable on the topic. Why, even her cheeks are red at the discussion. "I do not know anyone who speaks of his faults. Only sings his praises. He is well known at court, well-liked by all, respected and feared by more even so. He is everything that, in my opinion, a good lord or knight should be. I admire him immensely."
Wine. More wine. Thankfully there's still some in teh cup, so Roslin takes another sip and licks her damp lips. "I daresay I shall spend less time near him, if you advise it. He is a friend, I confess, and I often look to his counsel and he to mine. But if it is best that I make excuses, I sahll do so. But tell me, Blessed."
Roslin pauses a moment, selecting her words.
"If love is not a sin, why does much of the evil in this country seem to be borne of it? Why is it punished so heavily? Why does it cause men to forget their families and their duties, and women to forget their virtues and chastity?"
"Ah, then he is a knighted nobleman, but not one with a station lofty enough for your father to consider him as a match for you?" Luna nods once, more than familiar with such a tale. The question has her brow lifting, then furrowing deeply.
The priestess leans forward and moves to take Roslin's free hand in both of hers. Her green eyes bore into those of the young princess and there is an urgency in her voice. "Love, real and true, is not punished. It does not cause men to forget their families, nor their duties. it does not cause women to forget their virtue. What causes all that is lust and infatuation misunderstood as love by those who feel it. It is particularly easy to mistake them when one is young, but any could fall victim."
She licks her lips, thinking, not letting go of Roslin's hand just yet. That pain returns to her eyes, making them darken and appear distant. "One must truly know a person to love them. This includes their faults as well as their strengths. A man who truly loves a woman would never begin to think to allow her to be put in a compromising position. He would do all he could to ensure his family became as fond of her as possible while making clear his own depth of emotion for her, and he would similarly do his best to endear himself to her family. He would wish his devotion to her /reputation/ to be clear to all, as that is the first and most delicate part of her he can protect. He would wish to remove any cause for another to doubt her or their union. His duties to family and position would sometimes war with his desire to be near her, but he would see to those duties because in doing so he also shows her he understands where his priorities lie, that he can provide a stable and strong upbringing for their children. In turn, if she loves him, she may miss him during those times, but would not think to ask him to neglect said responsibilities."
After that long speech, she adds, "Now think carefully, my dear. Think of what you know of the unions of your siblings, particularly the ones you criticize. Compare what you have just heard to what their actions and words show. Do you believe what they feel and felt was love or a disguised mixture of lust and infatuation?"
Roslin listens, allowing her hand to be taken. She is not so shy a girl that she cannot meet the Blessed's eyes during this speech. She desires to learn, and it shows in her intensity now.
"No, Blessed. It does not sound like the love you have described. But they swear it was, and that it still is. They shall hear nothing against the strength of their love. And so there is little hope to save them from it."
"If love is so difficult a thing to read, to understand, then I still wish and want no part of it. Nor lust, nor infatuation - I would purge all these things from my life and lead a goodly and Godly existence. In that I can find my happiness. Not in this other … madness of emotion and tears and shame." She shakes ehr head in disgust, but then a thought occurs to her and she looks back to the Blessed.
"Have you ever been in love? Or felt these … mistaken feelings as love?"
"It is not so difficult for those who know well the parties involved. It is harder for those in the mire themselves, as it were. As to lust…" Luna clears her throat uncomfortably. "It is only a sin when felt and explored outside one's marriage. Within, it is rather a blessing and expression of devotion to one's spouse." That seems to be as far as she intends to explain it for now.
The priestess smiles sadly, then looks down to their joined hands. "I shall tell you something known to precious few, and it may not leave this room. Even so, I shall only speak of the tale somewhat vaguely." Bringing her gaze back up to meet the curious one of the princess, she inhales deeply.
"Umbra Herself was once in love. Truly, completely in love. With a mortal, of all things. She did not let on how She felt for quite some time and even when She did, it was only by making a special gift appear at an altar in one of Her Temples while he was praying there. Being a worthy man, he understood the meaning and was appropriately awed. What he felt for her, I cannot know, but it is notable he never wed. All his life, he helped a great many people, often in shadows without any of the recipients of his generosity knowing. In the end…" Luna's breath hitches and she looks away, but not before moisture can be seen in her eyes.
"In the end, Umbra waited for the time his soul would naturally part from his body so that She could take it to feast in Her cave with others who are devoted to her. At last, they could be together. But there were nefarious plans afoot and he was taken where She could never follow." Luna swallows around a lump in her throat, then releases Roslin's hand to grasp her winecup. It is a long time before she says anything more, the emotion as strong and raw as though the tale were her own.
"I have never heard this tale," Roslin says, once it is finished and some time of silence has passed betwene them. "Why is it never spoken of?" She looks over her confessor, curiously. The woman does look as Umbra is always described as looking. She has the mannerisms, the beauty, all that a Goddess would posess. She handled a Godly object, or at least one, in the arrow bestowed to Aldren Haravean. "Why do you cry for her love?" The question comes out sounding innocent and childish, even from a 16 year old girl.
Although the priestess manages a smile, it is a deeply sorrowful one, at first. "It is a special tale, known by few, because that is how She wishes it to be. The gift was the Golden Arrow, for her love was a great hunter many generations past. And so, this tale is often told to the winner of the blessed gift, to impress upon him — or her, if Mistress Victoria of the Rangers was told — the heavy responsibility and level of favor being granted."
Her lips tighten, anger briefly flashing in those eyes. "When one has been deemed to have the potential that makes them worthy of the gift, then ignores the honor and does nothing to attempt to meet his potential, Umbra tends to… not take it particularly well. When he then steps fully in the way of a soul attempting to reach out to the Eight, she grows fully wroth. Look no further than the current holder of the Golden Arrow to see what I mean. Now that you know the history of it, in general, I am certain you understand why it is so personal an affront to Her."
The last question is left unanswered.
"Aldren Haravean has stepped between a soul and the Eight? I don't understand - he seems well, he is fearful of the Gods." Roslin shakes her head. "He is a good man, a good solider, and a good leader. True, when he first aquired the arrow the power in it frightened him. But that is his awe of Her, is it not?" Roslin shakes her head again. "No, I will not believe that Count Haravean has done as ill as you say. He is a very good man." Drunk, perhaps perpetually, but otherwise a good man.
"But you, Blessed, have you ever known love? Beyond Her?"
"Perhaps you have not spoken to him of late, or have not seen him around the Servants of the Eight," Luna offers politely. "He failed in certain respects, but I was encouraging him to try harder with them. That was perfectly well. However, when he chose to imprison a harmless man who was in the wrong place and had done no worse than that… a man who wished to come with me to the Temple and confess certain sins — none harmful — to a priest, I warned the Count. I felt her wrath fast approaching. He was doing this in front of witnesses, using his authority to overturn my duty. I told him his family and household would be punished for this hubris, even begged him to reconsider, but he would have none of it. Hardly any time passed before… the tragedy came to his family. I imagine there were other, smaller ones, but this was too large to ignore.
"Now he dares go about the Festival of Lights completely ignoring or otherwise speaking rudely to the Servants of the Eight. I genuinely fear for not only him, but his siblings and the sweet lady who is betrothed to him. His pride prevents him from making amends, from seeking forgiveness." Luna sighs heavily. "So you see, even the best of mortals may struggle with Divine mandate."
The question rolls around her head and she taps steepled fingers against her lips. "This is one question I am afraid I shall not be able to answer, Your Highness. I am terribly sorry. But note, with Her tale, never once did either overstep the bounds of propriety. /That/ is love."
Roslin watches, confused. What is all this about, some man? She doesn't understand … until suddenly she does. "The man … are you referring to the man who snuck into the castle?" And she laughs - how can she not? She laughs a quick, sudden laugh of surprised. "Blessed Luna, he was a man who had no business in the keep. A strange common man - after the attack during the traveling shows and the fires that were set, after the kidnapping of Lady Nimue, after other crimes commited against nobles. Lord Haravean detained the man on suspicion of being one such attacker. He could well have been, and I imagine he would have liked very much to pray to escape his punishment. No, Blessed." Roslin chuckles again. "In such cases all men must pay their punishment for their crimes, even small ones. As I understand the man was later released after it was determined that he placed no danger. But you did not know that, then. He could have had a dagger beneath his cloak for you. Or me. Or Mother. Or any one of us. I do not believe that Umbra would punish a man for keeping others safe. Besides," she sets her wine cup aside. "If it were true as you say, and those who sin against the Gods have their punishments extended to their families, I am sure I would be covered in boils or some such madness by now. And if you are terribly keen on the man that the Count imprisoned, I am sure you may see him now, and see to your duties."
"I did know." Luna's voice is very quiet. "I did know and I told him as much. He did not state at the time that he suspected the man of being an attacker. He simply suspected the man, period. A man who had the misfortune of following his lust for a loose-moraled maid into the palace. But yes, I did know. There are things I… see. Things I know that none others can." She hesitates before adding, "Your father knows of this, was witness to it firsthand during the journey. Some others chose to ignore it, but there are those who understood. He stepped between a man for whom a priestess had vouched, a priestess of the very goddess who granted him Her favor. Not only did he sin by stopping another who wished to repent, even if only delaying it by a few days, but he publicly showed a lack of faith in a Servant of the Eight and ignored the warnings. Now that his family is being punished for his sins, as he was told would occur, he publicly shuns the clergy. No, he is not covered in boils, my dear. His sister went missing. Or is that not bad enough for you?"
Roslin frowns. Very deeply. "Is it the Gods that are cross with Count Haravean, or you? Perhaps, in time, you may explain what the Lady Nimue did to deserve her fate. Or those killed in the fires. Or those even killed in the war. I am a pious woman, Blessed, but I do not believe that the Gods move us about like puppets, causing every bad thing in life to happen because we deserve it." The Princess moves to stand. "Perhaps you see things. I do not know. I know that it is law that when a man enters the palace without invitation or authority, there is a penalty for that. If Umbra dislikes that law, every turnkey in the city would have no family left. For myself, I am thankful for Count Haravean and his discipline. He is one of the few who strives to keep the laws in check in this city. Priestess you may be, but you do not have the power to set aside the laws of the land." The Princess moves to the window, clearly distraught.
"Perhaps I have taken up enough of your time for today, Blessed."
Luna only smiles as Roslin poses the age-old question, then rises when the princess does. "I do not know every reason for every punishment given by each of the Eight, Your Highness. I am not even saying what he did would have been wrong, in other circumstances. I only felt the Divine ire and tried to warn him. I never yelled. In fact, I cried for him when I left. And when he did more to earn ire, I prayed for it to fall upon me instead. It did, although I would much rather not have had so deep a gash. Still, better that than what would have occurred to him and the lady on his arm. A different lady than the betrothed, but I forget her name."
Her hand waves dismissively. "You seem rather taken with him, to the point of refusing to see any fault. I wonder if he is the one who causes such flutters within you. If not, your words make it seem that way, so I implore you to take a care when speaking to him of others. Praise him, surely, but perhaps temper it a bit?"
Her words flow as she moves toward the door. Turning, she picks up her cloak and presses her palms together toward the Princess. "Good day, Your Highness."
Roslin turns, listening to the Blessed. The more the woman speaks, the more her own shock and surprise is written on her face. "Gods above," she finally breathes. "I had credited you with so much more …. just more, I suppose. Your words are beneath you, madame, or if not you than surely beneath me. When a man does something worth defending, I shall defend him. When he has done something to condemn, I will condemn him. As it happens I have the highest respect for what he did that day. I shall not apologize for defending him because it hurts your pride." Roslin shakes her head a little more, but that does not stop her from bringing her hands together and bowing low and respectful, even amidst words of disagreement. "Good Day, Blessed Luna. I wish you well on your mission to find this lost soul who so desperately needs you."
A laugh escapes Luna before she can suppress it. "A true servant of the Eight has no personal pride, only pride for the Eight, Your Highness. May the Light illuminate your path always." With that, she leaves, her laughter slowly being stifled as she moves down the hall. To any without, it may seem Roslin had just made a most excellent joke and the priestess left her on the best of terms.

The Minnesota Department of Agriculture's Minnesota Grown Program encourages consumers interested in Community Support Agriculture (CSA) shares to sign-up for memberships now. CSA memberships offer many benefits, including subscriptions to healthy foods, the ability to connect with a local farmer, and the opportunity to directly support an agricultural business.
CSA farms sell subscriptions or memberships, and members receive a share of locally grown produce throughout the season, which generally lasts from 14-20 weeks. CSA farms deliver member shares to a drop site, where members can pick it up, take it home and enjoy a variety of local agricultural products.
Lisa Baker is the owner and principal operator of the 15-acre organic certified Bakers' Acres farm in Avon, Minnesota. Baker and her staff grow produce, sell eggs, and raise poultry, grass-finished lamb and beef. Bakers' Acres also offers a CSA program and Baker recommends signing up early.
"CSAs offer a journey through the seasons that's unique to each farmer and customer," said Baker. "CSAs can help families get their kids to enjoy fruits and vegetables because they get to know their farmer and see where their food is grown. Plus, supporting small family farms keeps good land stewards in our communities."
Minnesota Commissioner of Agriculture Dave Frederickson encourages customers to look for a CSA option in their communities.
"Dozens of Minnesota farms offer CSAs, which give customers a chance to try new produce and even meat or dairy products," said Commissioner Frederickson. "Each CSA is different, so do some research. Many farms offer half shares that might work best for smaller families, and some deliver produce to multiple drop sites. Buying directly from a farmer is a great way to contribute to your local economy."
The Minnesota Grown Directory includes 82 CSA farms to choose from with 129 drop sites throughout the state. Visit the Minnesota Grown website for a searchable list of CSAs, or pre-order a free copy of the printed Minnesota Grown Directory by calling 1-800-657-3878 or visiting www.minnesotagrown.com.

Dark Souls 3 was released this week and already we have the questions coming up about what is next? While some of the individuals are still working their way through, some people are asking when will be the next downloadable set coming up.
According to the reports in hand, the next downloadable content for Dark Souls 3 will be available for download this autumn. To be true, this is quite quick for any developer to release the first DLC for any of their games.
The reports suggest that Bandai Namco has confirmed the release of the first DLC for Dark Souls 3 will be released this fall. The next versions will be in line to be released sometime in the later parts of the year. But what has not pleased the gamers is the fact that Bandai Namco refraining from revealing anything about the upcoming downloadable contents including the enemies, weapons, etc. But what is for sure that the DLC's for dark souls 3 will include a passes. The pricing of the DLCs is yet to be confirmed by the makers.
The rumors have it that the first downloadable content will be priced at approximately $25 after a wait of approximately 5 months. The first DLC is expected to contain new bosses including new weapons, new amours etc. In addition, the gamers will also expect an upgrade to the quality of the experience as dark souls 3 has also received quite a lot of acclamation. Dark Souls 3 is currently available for the computers, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
In the past, Bandai Namco had officially asked the users to wait for downloadable contents for the international version of the game. Bandai Namco believes that the visual effects that they have put in for the game will make allow the user to have the best gaming experience. Well, lets us just wait till the fall.

I am indebted to Karen Blakeman who discovered that Brighton and Hove bus information may now be had through an iPhone app. My iPhone having settled down after the excitement of the upgrade to 3.1, I downloaded the app. My first impressions: it's very good. It works on data from the GPS gadgets on each bus, information that feed the displays at bus stops and a web page that has existed for several years. The routes and stops lend themselves well to the iPhone's touch-scrolling lists. Above all, it's free. I don't use buses so frequently now, as Brighton and Hove offer no Seaford to Wandsworth service, but at weekends it will be invaluable. I used buses regularly when I worked at BSMS, but then the bus data was only available on the web. There was a considerable delay between checking the bus times on my desktop machine, and arriving at the bus-stop, involving shutting down the computer, packing my bag, shutting the office and walking to the stop, in which time the situation could easily change.
A nostalgic aside: Karen discovered this in the Local Government Chronicle. Long ago it was my job to scan the LGC, and its rival the Municipal Journal, for references to Barnet council, for whom I then worked in the Hendon reference library. How I enjoyed browsing countless pictures of identical men in identical suits, recently appointed Head of Sanitary Services for Loamshire County Council or Director of Photocopiers at Slagtown District.

We're off to Tolpuddle for the weekend. Not sure what this means for blogging: the infrastructure in a Dorset field is not very sophisticated.
But it should be good. I see there so far no Flickr photos tagged with Tolpuddle, so I claim the honour of being the first with last year's; more to come. A Technorati search on Tolpuddle finds a surprising number of posts.

Here I am on a train, and my PowerBook has picked up a strong wifi signal. But can I use it? Of course not, though I'd happily pay a reasonable fee, if only to be able to blog that I'm "on the train".
It's the same network I encountered once before, Nomad, but whereas first time round I didn't care that I couldn't use it, I was excited to see that it was there, now I'm just annoyed that there's no way of using it.
I contacted them last time and was told that it was experimental, and asked if I would like to test it. I replied that I would, but never heard any more.Postscript: on the way home I had time to kill at Victoria so logged on to the BT OpenZone network in the bar, surrounded by drunks, bought some more time, then the battery went.

Poor Dickens, Dylan Thomas and Malcolm Bradbury, and all the other Englishmen who have written about visits to the USA, for now I follow feebly after them.
And much of what I say has been said before, and I suspect in more elegant style by many others. But the great thing about blogging is that, since I don't give a fig for the world's good opinion, I can inflict unoriginal and hackneyed reflections on the American counter-revolution on the world. These are little to do with the MLA conference and I must make clear no criticism of my hosts, who were the soul of grace and hospitality.

I was on my way back from Atlanta Dragway, sunburnt, tired and completely worn out from three days of covering the wild LSX Challenge race (stay tuned for coverage next month). My mind was cluttered and overflowing with images of insane combinations, trailered hundred-thousand-dollar race cars and long nights watching competitors swap out expensive parts for other expensive parts in search of another 100th of a second advantage. Contemplating an early retirement, or at least a long vacation, I turned into South Georgia Motorsports Park, my brain and body completely done with the high dollar machines of the past week.
As I drove through the South gate at SGMP, I saw just one car sitting in the staging lanes. Alone and simple, Andy Carter's '99 Z28 sat on a set of shiny ZR1 wheels wrapped in street tires, and Andy was just putting the finishing touches on the wipe down process. Walking closer, Andy's Camaro looked immaculate, but also almost completely stock. The silver paint was in great shape, the flat Z28 hood and wing in perfect condition. Inside, there was no rollcage, no power windows, no power locks and just a set of simple and stock cloth seats. "It's a 1LE... basically a stripper Z28 which was exactly what I was looking for," Andy told me. Besides the Nitrous Outlet bottle sitting where the back seat would normally go and the Hurst shifter rising from the center console, it was impossible to tell how fast this car really was. If someone had asked me what it ran, I might guess 12.0's on a good track. "This car looks like the average Z28 sitting in the Wal-Mart parking lot until I swap over the tires..."
Under the hood, Andy's Camaro looked as basic as could be, with the only obvious addition being a 78mm Nitrous Outlet plate system and an MSD digital window switch on the passenger-side strut tower. The engine looked like a typical LS1 street car, with an old school LS1 Motorsports lid feeding air into a stock mass air meter and a stock LS1 throttle body. Andy did switch out his stock LS1 intake manifold for an LS6 piece, which he stuffed with a set of '02 28 lb/hr injectors, but neither of those modifications really tip anyone off to the power of this combination. For cylinder heads, Andy relies on a set of stock 853-castings (certainly not the best performing of the bunch), which are bolted to a pair of unknown long-tube headers and a Magnaflow exhaust system.
So, stock looking motor with a nitrous kit, a couple of average bolt-on parts and no roll cage. We're featuring this...why? Oh yeah--Andy's 1LE Z28 runs 9.97 at 133.4-mph on a 1.35-second 60-foot time and he drives it to the track like this. That's right, this stock appearing, stock bottom end equipped sleeper Z28 runs a 9.97-second quarter-mile and does it with no nonsense, no ridiculous idle, no drama and no trailer full of spare parts or new engines. 9.97! This is a breath of fresh air bundled into a street car and its magic comes from a few perfectly placed parts, a set of nitrous jets and time spent researching and tuning.
Now, we should come clean. The motor that looks stock with the 853-casting heads does have one modification done to it. Andy has installed a Texas Speed Torquer 2 camshaft in place of the stock unit and, well, that's all. Stock pistons, rods and crankshaft. Stock head gaskets, bolts and coils. The plugs are a set of NGK BR8EF's on a tight gap and other than that, the engine is as it came from General Motors twelve years ago. It's even got 51,000-miles on the odometer, so clearly it isn't just taking up garage space.
Behind the engine, well, that's a different story. While the Camaro started life as a six-speed manual transmission, "I wasn't really happy with the six-speed and the track performance, so I swapped to the TH400 and had Greg at FTI build me a nitrous converter." Bolted behind the basically stock mill is a TH400 transmission built by Hughes, which Andy stuffed with a custom-built FTI nitrous-ready torque converter that stalls to approximately 4,200 rpm. Out back, Andy ditched the stock and easily broken 10-bolt rear for a Moser 9-inch unit, which he bolted together with a 3.75:1 ring-and-pinion. Andy had tried to keep the differential street friendly at first, but after breaking an expensive differential early on, he installed a much cheaper and more effective Moser spool, which still "drives great on the street."
Regarding the suspension, Andy's Camaro continues the theme of keeping it simple with a set of Strange double adjustable shocks up front wrapped in a pair of 300 lb/in springs. The stock K-member and A-arms are still in place and besides the front sway bar being removed, everything else is in the same place that it was when GM put the Camaro together. Out back, the Camaro has a matching set of Strange double adjustable shocks, although like many experienced racers, Andy kept the stock rear springs in place. UMI Performance is responsible for the flat launches and Andy counts on the UMI anti-roll bar and tunnel mounted adjustable torque arm to keep his 60-foot times in the mid 1.30-second range.
Looking for more crazy stuff? You better move on because Andy hasn't added or taken away anything from this ride that didn't help him go fast and look stock. "Remember, this car is driven to and from the track at all times. This has always been a condition of mine that I would keep the car streetable and it would not turn into a trailer queen. This car looks like the average Z28 sitting in the Wal-Mart parking lot until I swap over the tires, bring the bottle pressure up and launch it off the transbrake on the 250 shot, pulling both front tires. That's when the on-lookers start coming over to ask questions." If you're one of those on-lookers, intrigued by Andy's 9-second Z28, feel free to find him at the track or online, as Andy is truly one of the nicest and most sincere racers we have met in a longtime. He is humble and willing to help anyone who shares his passion and it is that attitude, along with his killer 9-second sleeper that makes him the perfect GMHTP feature and is the reason we keep combing the country, driving from state to state, looking for cars of this caliber, sunburn and sleep be damned!

A Gloucestershire council has hatched a clandestine plan to effectively 'hijack' a thriving community centre run by local people on a large housing estate.
Apparently decisions to pull the plug were made by the Parish Council behind closed doors, and, typically, centre users have not been consulted or asked for their opinions.
Views: 70
For some time I've been aware of the absence of any policy to support social enterprise in Gloucestershire and the Forest of Dean where I live. This would be acknowledged at the council scrutiny meeting which followed the exposure of a failed healthcare CIC, from which a former Atos manager managed to extract a tidy sum in consultancy fees.
It would seem that we're presented with a done deal when it comes to LEP partnerships for local development.

The Ladies (2011/2012) Short film & live performance
Six female performers, split into pairs, dressed in black clothing, black shades and bright lipstick, appeared on random days, times and locations throughout Manhattan over a period of two months. To keep the appearances unpredictable, specific neighborhoods were chosen for each unannounced performance. Existing outside of any art frame, The Ladies moved in a particularly slow manner, often remaining in extended stillness. Slowing down time, they disrupted the pace of activity in the public streets and spaces, provoking passersby to react by default.
Directed by: Maria Hassabi
Assistant Director: Jessie Gold
Performers: Biba Bell, Rebecca Brooks, Jessie Gold, Elizabeth Hart, Sarah Beth Percival
Director of Photography: Francis Coy
– Soft City in Malmö, Inter Arts Center, Sweden (September 4-11)
– CentrePasquArt as part of Le Mouvement: The City Performed, Biel, Switzerland (August 30-November 2)
– Cipriani Wall Street, LMCC at The Downtown Dinner 2012, New York (April 23)

The Ladies first appeared and were commissioned as part of "Fiction-NonFiction" at Crossing The Line, the fall festival of the French Institute:Alliance Francaise (FIAF). The project was also made possible with funding from the Brown Foundation, Inc. of Houston and the Guggenheim Fellowship.

A San Jose State student has been arrested as the university police department announced on Thursday evening that officers have investigated six cases of sexual battery reported in nearly two months.
These reports stemmed from allegations first reported on Oct. 17 in Duncan Hall, Sweeney Hall, the Student Union, and Boccardo Business Complex. All of the victims were students, according to school president Mary Papazian.
The suspect in the Student Union was arrested, and identified as Huaien "David" Kong, 19, and he is a student at the school. Papazian said officers believe "he may have committed additional unreported sexual batteries," but she did not elaborate. That report came into police on Monday. Police had previously sent out surveillance video of the suspect. School spokeswoman Pat Harris said Kong is subject to the "student conduct process," which is confidential.
Papazian asked that anyone who felt that he or she was a victim of a sexual battery within the last week in the area of Clark Hall or the Dining Commons, should call university police.
Police do not know if the other suspects in the other cases are affiliated with the university, Papazian said. She added that police believe that a single suspect may be associated with at least two of the remaining cases. Leads provided over the past few days are being pursued and police foot patrols have been intensified around campus.
She also stressed what the definition of sexual battery is: Touching intimate body parts without consent. "While this may sound less severe than sexual assault, this behavior is deeply traumatizing to victims," she said.
According to annual crime reports, 11 cases of sexual battery were reported at San Jose State in 2015, compared to 17 cases so far this year.
Vice President for Administration and Finance Charlie Faas has been developing a comprehensive safety plan in the wake of these statistics.
Here are some changes being made on campus:
• Additional security cameras: Twenty-four additional cameras will be purchased and installed in the near future to complement existing video surveillance systems. The video will be used as an investigatory tool and is not monitored in real time.
• Police staffing: Recruiting is underway for six additional campus patrol officers, which will increase the number of sworn officers on our campus to 32. UPD has received approval to hire an additional four Public Safety Assistants, which provides our own students with the opportunity to gain professional experience and expands the Safety Escort program.
• Enhanced lighting: Additional lighting and related work will begin during the winter break, and continue through spring term.
IF YOU'RE INTERESTED: A Student Advisory Board composed of students is being formed to help police figure out how to better keep the campus safe. To get involved, contact Chief Peter Decena directly at firstname.lastname@example.com

South Col Photographer wins Photo Competition
South Col Expeditions recently conducted a trek cum photo workshop in the Annapurna Himalayas of Nepal. The senior most photographer of the team was Dhrubo Gupta, a fit and enthusiastic 75 year old trekker from Calcutta! Dhrubo's photograph of Annapurna South from Poon Hill recenly won the first prize in the DP review competition
( http://www.dpreview.com/ challenges/Entry.aspx?ID= 587613 ).
In Dhrubo's own words:
Annapurna Blushes: Mid-December
minus 9 Celsius dawn from Poon Hill at 3200 metres, after an hour's climb in
the dark from Ghorapani at 2900 metres. It was a two days trek to Ghorapani and
at one stretch we had to climb over 3500 steps at one go – the trek was graded
"easy" but when you are pushing 75 it can be very tough !
In Dhrubo's own words:
Motto of the story: Trek with South Col Expeditions, win photo competitions!
Well done Dhrubo look forward to having you with us again!

White breasted Kingfisher in Calcutta
Happy Holi to everyone! I have spent most of this Holi morning trying to shoot a pair of white breasted kingfishers who are making a nest in our garden wall. After a lot of effort and numerous failed shots, I managed to get this photograph. Despite my best efforts, I was not able to shoot both the kingfishers in the same frame. However, as they are nesting here I am sure that I will get many more chances! It is heartening to find that in this concrete jungle that is Calcutta, kingfishers still choose to nest!
