Our client was manufacturing a cholesterol-lowering food and wanted to encourage more healthcare professionals to recommend it. In turn, they hoped this would influence the shopping habits of consumers with higher cholesterol, boosting sales of their product.
We created a medical sales force for the client, raising product awareness in a pharma-appropriate manner. This involved cutting-edge targeting, segmentation and positioning.
We used market research to target and reposition the brand, before launching a comprehensive sales and marketing campaign to raise awareness among 5,700 general practitioners in Germany and Austria.
We've distributed 70,000 patient flyers and vouchers to 5,700 general practitioners, encouraging large numbers of patients with raised cholesterol to try a product which can help to bring this under control.


It seems like Kannada star Yash is all set for the sequel of KGF: Chapter 1. After the success of the first past, KGF: Chapter 2 will be bigger and is set to go on floors in April 2019. Producer Ritesh Sidhwani, who co-produced the film with his Excel Entertainment partner Farhan Akhtar, confirmed that the sequel is indeed starting next month. The producer is hopeful that the film will surpass it's predecessor and will take the storytelling to another well. Director Prashanth Neel is currently working on the final draft of the film and will soon meet the producers for the narration.
Ritesh Sidhwani said that there will be some ambiguity the film has to offer due to the broad arch of what the sequel has to offer. He indeed confirmed that the film will have actors from the Hindi film industry. Sanjay Dutt was approached for the film but dates didn't work out. He is planning to make the calls on the actors when the final draft of the film is ready. He thinks that adding actors from Hindi film industry will make the film more relatable to the North Indian audience.
KGF: Chapter 1 released during Christmas 2018 weekend same time as Shah Rukh Khan's Zero. While it did great business down South, it became the highest grossing Kannada film.

Sometimes I like to indulge in some guilty pleasures and Elizabeth Hoyt is fastly becoming my guilty pleasure read, no pun intended. I find myself either thoroughly enjoying her work or rolling my eyes but in the same breath, I can't stop reading it. It's a problem, I know!
Temperance Dews is a widow who happens to run a children's home in St. Giles which is known for its slums. She alongside her brother, Winter, take in children and infants who would otherwise be turned out on the streets or worse – used in prostitution or some other gimmick. We learn early on that the death of her husband weighs on Temperance heavily and she seems laden with guilt. What's more is that the home is in desperate need of a wealthy patron to supply funds to them and without the funds, they will all be turned out on the streets.
Gruesome murders aren't so uncommon but there seems to be a serial killer on the loose, gutting women from head to toe and that is what brings Lord Caire to the scene. He's a man known for his dark tastes and wicked ways, he had also hired one of the murdered prostitutes as his mistress. So, he seeks out someone who knows St. Giles better than himself which brings him to Temperance.
The world is so gritty and disgusting you can nearly imagine yourself trudging through those streets and experiencing what it was to be a woman of those times, absolute prey.
I am not overly keen on fast transitions from acquaintance to trembling with want and while I do realize this is a romance novel keep in mind this is my opinion and something that keeps me from enjoying a moment. I don't mind these situations for a quick, guilty read but to gain anything substantial from a love scene [or even just a purely lustful scene,] I like more depth. More building up to it to add more to it. Out of the few Hoyt books I've read, it's either a hit or miss in that department. Still! I'll always pick up a read of hers.
I don't feel as though this book was as well put together as her others, even my least favorite – To Desire A Devil – seemed to be better constructed but I do feel as though it's worth a strong 3 crown rating. It's still a decent read, I enjoyed it and wanted to finish it, but I definitely was not in love with it.

#WomenNotObjects is a women's advocacy campaign that sought to shake up the way the advertising industry portrays women. The campaign was the brainchild of ad industry executive Madonna Badger. It was designed to spur conversation around the pervasive objectification of women in advertising. In the '90s, Madonna Badger was the creative director behind the original Calvin Klein underwear ads. At the time, these ads seemed novel and helped the brand cut through the clutter. However, in the 25 years since those ads, women have been increasingly objectified throughout American culture. With medical evidence of the harm these types of ads have had on younger children, Badger and her team vowed never to create another campaign treating women as objects.
Badger & Winters created a compelling video around the topic to raise awareness about how women are portrayed by brands, highlight the harm these images do to young girls and boys and create a call to action for consumers, brands and executives to become part of the conversation by using the #WomenNotObjects hashtag. In two and a half weeks the agency garnered more than 18,000 social mentions, 380 million media impressions, three organic celebrity posts and over 1.45 million video views.


It's no wonder the New York Times raves: "Darlene Love's thunderbolt voice is as embedded in the history of rock and roll as Eric Clapton's guitar or Bob Dylan's lyrics." Through the years, Darlene Love continues to captivate audiences worldwide with her warm, gracious stage presence and sensational performances. Since the early sixties, as part of Phil Spector's 'wall of sound' hit factory, this great lady has done it all…from Broadway hits like Hairspray and Grease, starring as herself in Leader Of The Pack, credited as Broadway's first 'jukebox musical,' to major motion pictures like the highly successful Lethal Weapon series.
Darlene's background vocals as a lead member of The Blossoms for Tom Jones, The Righteous Brothers, Dionne Warwick, Marvin Gaye, and Elvis Presley (to name but a few) set the stage for her emergence as a star in her own right. Her Billboard hits include: "He's A Rebel," "The Boy I'm Gonna Marry," "Wait 'Til My Bobby Gets Home," "He's Sure the Boy I Love" and the #1 holiday classic "Christmas Baby Please Come Home," a song that she performs annually with Paul Shaffer and the CBS Symphony Orchestra on The Late Show With David Letterman (December marked her 27th appearance).
In 2011, Darlene Love received her industry's highest award when Better Midler, a great fan of her work, inducted her into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. During the celebration, the two ladies enjoyed performing "He's A Rebel" together. As part of the festivities, Darlene also sang "He's A Fine, Fine Boy" backed by another distinguished fan, Bruce Springsteen.

Definition: Patrimonialism is a social system in which a royal elite rules through personal and arbitrary control over a bureaucracy and over slaves, mercenaries, and conscripts who have no power themselves and serve only to enforce the monarch's rule. It has been found most often in Asia and China in particular. Patrimonial systems have been far less stable and more prone to revolutions than other types of systems and Max Weber argued that they have also been unlikely to lead to sustained economic or social development.

La scimmia urlatrice era una delle divinità maggiori della mitologia Maya: in particolare, tale figura era vista come protettrice delle arti, come la musica, e dei mestieri, in particolare i mestieri di scriba e scultore.

Iconografia
Sui vasi d'epoca classica spesso si possono notare queste scimmie, solitamente dipinte a coppie, con una boccetta d'inchiostro fra le mani, nell'atto di scrivere dei libri o di scolpire delle teste. Queste due attività insieme probabilmente vanno a costituire una metafora della creazione del genere umano, poiché il libro contiene la data di nascita, mentre la testa è la sede dell'anima.
Una grande rappresentazione di questa divinità può essere osservata nella casa degli scribi a Copán: le due grandi statue, con dei sonagli fra le mani, rappresenterebbero due scimmie urlatrici nella loro veste di musiciste.
Un'altra rappresentazione di questi animali come divinità è stata recentemente rinvenuta sotto forma di incensiere a Mayapan.

Culto
Dopo la conquista dell'impero Maya da parte degli spagnoli, la venerazione per le scimmie urlatrici non venne meno, ma cambiò il loro ruolo: Bartolomé de las Casas dice che Hun-Ahau e Hun-Cheven venivano considerati due fra i tredici figli delle divinità maggiori Itzamnà e Ixchel, e per questo venerati come divinità cosmogoniche.
Stando al Popol Vuh, i due Gemelli Scimmie si chiamavano Hun Batz e Hun Chouen, ed erano fratellastri malvagi di Junajpu e Ixbalanque. Junajpu e Ixbalanque decisero di levarseli di mezzo facendoli salire su un albero altissimo, dove i gemelli scimmia dovettero legarsi i pantaloni alla schiena per scendere. Dato che sembravano scimmie, divennero scimmie. Precisamente Hun Batz divenne una scimmia urlatrice e Hun Chouen una scimmia ragno.

Nel calendario Maya, la scimmia urlatrice Batz (corrispettivo della scimmia ragno Ozomatli del calendario azteco) denota l'undicesimo giorno del mese, associato alle arti in generale. Nel conto lungo questo animale può invece indicare il singolo giorno: questa proprietà è ricollegabile alle arti sciamaniche e quindi alla conoscenza rituale e storica ed alla profezia.

Discover the Silk Road on a Private Jet Vacation
The 19-day itinerary explores ancient traditions and once-hidden trade and cultural routes.
Camel Trekking
Presidential Private Jet Vacations has added exploring the legendary Silk Road to its collection of one-of-a-kind luxury private jet vacation travel experiences. The 19-day itinerary involves exploring eight-thousand kilometers (about 5,000 miles) of once-hidden areas of interconnected network of trade and cultural routes, and experiencing ancient traditions in this unique and special private jet vacation journey.
The strategically and carefully designed trip begins in Beijing, where guests will have rare opportunities to walk the Great Wall in the company of arguably the most informed historian on it, glean insights on Chinese economy and politics from a high-level corporate executive whose stay in the country spans more than 30 years, and engage in dialogues with a book author and BBC reporter who have witnessed the changes in modern China.
In Xi'an, guests can tour the ongoing excavation with the lead archaeologist, and make a behind-the-scenes visit of the restoration room at the Yangling Museum. Dunhuang is China's third stop, and includes a curated visit of the Mogao Caves and the Jade Gate Pass.
The use of the private jet allows for a comfortable straight flight into Samarkand, which marks day eleven of the Silk Road itinerary, and is where guests will take in mosques, art, and stars.
Next, guests will visit Bukhara and Khiva, and will gain an in-depth look into Uzbekistan's prominent role in the Silk Road. All major landmarks in the three Uzbek cities are visited in the company of the most knowledgeable private guides in local culture. Experiential activities include meeting with a renowned artist and participating in a silk painting workshop in Samarkand, and dining at the home of a local family in Bukhara.
Day 15 begins in Turkey, which is the final five-day leg of the trip. Here, guests visit mesmerizing Istanbul in complete luxury and with privileged access to doors normally closed, including a private evening tour of St. Sophia and an especially catered exclusive dinner at Macar Feyzullah Pasha mansion surrounded by ottoman opulence. Other features of this leg of the trip include an exploration of hip and historical neighborhoods, and a meandering tour of the Grand Bazaar with the savviest of private guides who incorporate a lecture on fine carpet weaving by a master of the art. Guests also enjoy an excursion on a private motor yacht luxury on the Bosphorus strait passing along the Golden Horn.
The Gulfsteam V is the private jet of choice for the Silk Road trip. Its long range and sheer comfort, including sleeping arrangements for night flights, make it ideally suited for the journey to China, Uzbekistan, and Turkey. As it is customary with Presidential, guests are afforded the opportunity to select a different private aircraft if they prefer.
Like all Presidential Private Jet Vacations, the Silk Road trip can be fully customized to the interests, tastes, and lifestyle preferences of guests. For more information, contact Presidential Private Jet Vacations. Visit www.PresidentialVacations.com or call +1.754.200.3000.

Facebook, for a long time now, has been working on adopting new technologies such as AI in their system. It has been managing a group of human reviewers to track down spam accounts along with fake news posts. These types of announcements against political spams show the progress the company has been making but also raise questions over wide challenges faced by internet platforms while fighting fake news. Facebook has been dedicated to make their platform a brand-safe and user-safe environment.
Last month, the social network took significant steps to combat fake political news by mentioning more security options for personal pages that belong to political candidates from the US running for federal or state offices. The security was also offered to close staff members and party representatives. There was a pilot program launched last month providing two-factor authentication as well as potential hacks monitoring for political candidate page admins.
This is not the first time Facebook has taken such step of deleting accounts. This summer, Facebook took down pages several times, including a 652-page clean in August. Looking at the legal beating the company took this year, these steps are necessary and beneficial for every user of Facebook.
Facebook's approach is more on the page behavior to remove them, rather than the content posted on them. It checks if the page admins are fake accounts or if they are posting spams repeatedly. They cleared that some pages have legitimate reasons to run political campaigns and they coordinate with each other accordingly, but on top of everything these pages are upfront about what they do.

December 20, 2018 orinocotribune 0 Comments Brazil, Cebrowski Plan, Colombia, John Bolton, Latin America and ALBA-TCP, US Imperialism
TARGET: VENEZUELA
John Bolton, the new US National Security Advisor, has relaunched the Pentagon's project for the destruction of the State structures in the Caribbean Basin.
We remember that in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, the Secretary for Defense at that time, Donald Rumsfeld, created the Office of Force Transformation and nominated Admiral Arthur Cebrowski as its Director. Its mission was to train the US army for its new role in the era of financial globalization. It was designed to change military culture in order to destroy the State structures of the regions which were not connected to the global economy. The first chapter of this plan consisted of dislocating the "Greater Middle East". The second stage was intended to perform the same task in the "Caribbean Basin". The plan was designed to destroy some twenty coastal and insular States, with the exception of Colombia, Mexico and as far as possible, territories belonging to the United Kingdom, the United States, France and Holland.
When he arrived at the White House, President Donald Trump opposed the Cebrowski plan. However, two years later, he has so far only been able to prevent the Pentagon and NATO from handing over States to the terrorist groups they employ (the "Caliphate"), but not to stop manipulating terrorism. Concerning the Greater Middle East, he has managed to diminish the tension, but the wars still continue there at lower intensity. Concerning the Caribbean Basin, he restrained the Pentagon, forbidding them to launch direct military operations.
Last May, Stella Calloni revealed a note from Admiral Kurt Tidd, Commander in Chief of SouthCom, exposing the operations aimed at Venezuela [1]. A second penetration was simultaneously implemented in Nicaragua, and a third, running for the last half-century, against Cuba.
Working from several previous analyses, we concluded that the destabilization of Venezuela – beginning with the guarimbas movement, continued by the attempted coup d'etat of February 2015 (Operation Jericho) [2], then by attacks on the national currency and the organization of emigration – would end with military operations [3] led from Brazil, Colombia and Guyana. Multinational maneuvers of troop transport were organized by the United States and their allies in August 2017 [4]. This was made possible by the election of pro-Israëli President Jair Bolsonaro, who will come to power in Brasilia on 1 January 2019.
The next Vice-President of Brazil will be General Hamilton Mourão, whose father played an important role in the pro-US military coup d'etat of 1964. He has made himself famous by his declarations against Presidents Lula and Rousseff. In 2017, he declared – on behalf of the Grand Orient of Brazil – that the time for a new military coup d'etat had arrived. Finally, he was re-elected with President Bolsonaro. In an interview with the magazine Piaui, he announced an impending overthrow of the Venezuelan President, Nicolás Maduro, and the deployment of a Brazilian "peace" force (sic). Faced with the gravity of these statements, which constitute a violation of the United Nations Charter, elected President Bolsonaro declared that no-one had any intention of going to war with anyone and that his Vice-President talked too much.
In any case, during a press conference on 12 December 2018, President Maduro revealed that US National Security Advisor John Bolton was handling the coordination between the teams of Colombian President Iván Duque and those of the Brazilian Vice-President. A group of 734 mercenaries is currently being trained in Tona (Colombia) in order to perpetuate a false flag attack, allegedly by Venezuela, against Colombia – thereby justifying a Colombian war against Venezuela. The war would be under the command of Colonel Oswaldo Valentín García Palomo, who is today in hiding after the attempted assassination by drone of President Maduro during the anniversary of the National Guard on 4 August 2018. These mercenaries are supported by Special Forces stationed on US military bases in Tolemaida (Colombia) and Eglin (Florida). The US plan is to take over, from the beginning of the conflict, the three Venezuelan Libertador military bases of Palo Negro, Puerto Cabello and Barcelona.
The US National Security Council is attempting to convince various states not to recognize Nicolás Maduro's second mandate (he was re-elected last May, but will assume power with the New Year). This is why the states of the Lima Group contested the Presidential ballot even before it took place, and illegally forbade Venezuelan consulates from organizing it. Furthermore, the migration crisis turns out to be just one more manipulation – many of the Venezuelans who fled the monetary crisis believing that they would easily find work in another Latin-American country are today trying to return home. But the Lima Group prevents them from doing so, forbidding Venezuelan planes who are attempting to repatriate them to use their airspace, as well as interdicting the buses which have come to help them cross the borders.
Everything is, therefore, happening as if we were watching a remake of the events which bloodied the Greater Middle East after the attacks of 11 September 2001. The main point is not the military actions, but the appearance of disorder that the events present. First of all, it's intended to confuse people into making a silk purse out of a sow's ear [5]. In the space of five years, Venezuela and Nicaragua, which used to enjoy a positive image abroad, are now being wrongly described as "failed states". While the history of the Sandinistas and their struggle against the Somoza dictatorship has not yet been re-written, it is taken for granted that Hugo Chávez Frías was a "Communist dictator" (sic), despite the fact that his country experienced a massive economic and political leap forward during his Presidency. It will soon become possible to destroy these states without anyone complaining.
Time is passing more and more rapidly. When, in 1823, US President James Monroe decided to close the Americas to European colonization, he could not have imagined that 50 years later his decision would morph into an affirmation of US imperialism. Just as today, when President Donald Trump declared, on the day of his investiture, that the time for régime change was over, he did not imagine that he would be betrayed by his own people. Nonetheless, on 1 November 2018, his Security Advisor John Bolton declared in Miami that Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela formed a "troïka of tyranny". Then his Secretary of Defense, General James Mattis, affirmed on 1 December, before the Reagan National Defense Forum, that elected President Maduro is an " irresponsible despot" who "has to go" [6].

…(T)hey're very funny people and they do and say a lot of things that will surprise you and make you laugh. . . They entertained me wondrously well . . . made me laugh until I wept. So go catch Transactors Improv Company. Take Kleenex.
Imaginative and skilled comedic voyages that are sure to entertain. . .
If you're not sure you'd like improvisational comedy because you think it's just some big party game, or if the only improvisation you've seen is at a stand-up comedy club, go to see Transactors. You're in for a big surprise.
(T)hese six improvisational experts created an entire play, with comedy, tragedy, music, and lyrics. And the lyrics not only fit the meter of the music, they rhymed. They not only rhymed, they made sense; and not only did they make sense, but also (as every song in a good musical should) aided in moving along the plot line. Unbelievable! . . . Hats off, and a big "Well done!" to the Transactors.
… (A) great example of how comic genius performs under pressure.
What is to be loved from the idea of improv, and what the Transactors are superb at, is the perfect moment that is created by two or more fast-acting minds on-stage… There are two things that are readily obvious from attending a Transactors show. The first is, you are going to have a very good time–and if you don't laugh, it's nobody's fault but your own. The other is that the folks in Transactors will stay acute long into their old age, because the work they are doing in presenting these lovely shows keeps their minds razor-sharp.
They could take their show on the road to any town anywhere in the U.S. and become an instant hit. Why? Because they're inventive and original.
Theaters/Educational Presenters: I am honored to have had them in our season. Not only do I recommend them highly for booking; I hail them as one of North Carolina's treasures.
My boss was really angry last night because he's getting over a cold and you made him laugh, which made him fearful of a coughing fit. Very seriously, everyone seemed to have a great time, including the wait staff. Bossman told me this morning that he'd like to do it again.
The show went great. The kids had a great time participating and thought it was very funny–my 7th-grader included! The performers were very nice and easy to work with. It could not have gone better!
Unfailingly, Transactors have packed our cabaret and sent each member of our diverse audience home with many great laughs under their belts and, frequently, some fresh perspectives ruminating in their minds.
Our audience loved the Transactors Improv Company. I can safely say it is one of the finest performances that our organization has ever presented. The ensemble is incredibly funny and many people were literally crying with laughter.
Thanks so much for…the Transactors performance on Saturday night with just the right touches of sensitivity, humor and insight. Everyone had a great time… Your ability to change the program at the last minute was appreciated by all of us.
(We have) employed this incredible group several times over the last (13) years. Each show, each experience has been a treat–an improvised work of art. They have performed for our middle school and high schools. They work with students and staff in a positive and engaging manner. I am always amused at how they can diffuse typical student suggestions for improvising and turn them into acceptable, fun theatre pieces! Their evening community programs are stellar!
Your patience, hard work, and professionalism were greatly appreciated by the teachers and students… They took in and appreciated far more than their behavior might have suggested. You are very giving people…generous to share your talents in teaching these kids. I would not hesitate to recommend you to any school.
It was truly the highlight of our cultural arts program for the year. The 9th-12th graders had a fantastic time. They were totally entertained, loved participating with the Transactors, and learned a lot about creative expression both in the show and in the workshop. . . The experience was one that these young people will never forget.
As you may have noticed from the audience response, the children and the teachers enjoyed the show immensely! You opened the door to their experience of theatre a little wider and we thank you for that.
I want to thank you and the other Transactors for the marvelous performance you gave at SECCA. . . . We were delighted with the diversity of the audience and they were delighted with your show. . . . Your performance was a high point in our fall program. . . . We particularly appreciate the company's willingness to "play to the children." In doing so, you successfully reached everyone.
Once again, Transactors was a big hit in the Union County Public Schools! It is always a pleasure for you to perform for us, bringing with you a cooperative spirit, new ideas and a tremendously energetic company. Your creative, entertaining and amusing approach to teaching our middle and high school students is part of the reason that the Union County Community Arts Council's arts in education projects are so successful year after year. Thank you for working with us to guarantee that our students receive top quality cultural arts programs.
A delight. Creativity in action. We have continued to hear raves.
We have always loved having Transactors. . . . You guys are just the thing to chill everyone out and help everyone keep things in perspective (and you just thought you were being funny!).
Transactors Improv have won the hearts of all who saw them perform in Tarboro! . . . Many who were present have beggedus to bring the company back, and comments included statements such as "better than early SNL" and "funnier than TV sitcoms." All I know is, we were dying with laughter–what a pleasant way to go! . . . (T)hank you for bringing such loony exuberance to our little town.
The performance was great. We'd love to have them again!
Students love the Transactors. That's why we'll have them come again this spring making it eight years in a row. . . . A great evening's entertainment.
You really filled the bill for us. The humor ranges from the ridiculous to the sublimely intelligent.
We would highly recommend this group and plan to have them back with us for future performances.
I got a lot of compliments on the entertainment and wanted to thank you again for doing such an awesome job. You guys were just what I was looking for and it seems that everyone enjoyed the show.
It is so difficult for me to describe the positive comments the attendees made to me after the (convention) had ended, and over 95% of the critique sheets mentioned your performance. (Three attendees actually had tears streaming down their faces because they had been laughing so hard.) . . . Transactors Improv Company definitely impacted our success. Not only do you have the ability to individualize each program for your clients, but you . . . are just darn funny people. . .
Thank you for the hilarious performance… Thanks also for your flexibility and willingness to put this together in such a short time. NCCSQA members deal with government regulations and other decidedly non-funny issues… (T)he group both enjoyed and appreciated the levity you brought to the luncheon.
The president said you were the best entertainment that we've had in 15 years of putting on a conference.
Pure fun and absolute hilarity . . . You consistently work your magic.
I want you to know that I'm an Equity actress and it's not just that I enjoyed your performance, it's closer to say I was amazed at the quality and kind of improv that you did… Being a professional, I find it difficult to watch bad acting or bad improvs and your group was so far above anyone else.
The show was awesome and scary–as in real-time scary. Creepy, creepy, wonderful stuff. How do you guys do that improv stuff so well?! Your performance had the appearance of a well-rehearsed script. But there was no script, just genius.
…I just wanted to say that both I and the guest I brought who'd never seen improv before really enjoyed it. It's truly incredible what you guys pull off up there… That you can manage to create a coherent play that flows smoothly without the benefit of any planning or editing, and your coordination up there, is downright incredible (I feel a bit oh-shucks-ey saying stuff like that, but it's true). And it's extremely interesting to see improv applied to drama rather than comedy–in many ways I think that's tougher, and of course runs deeper… Looking forward to future performances.
Just wanted to take a moment to let you know how much we enjoyed your improv performance at the Matthews Night Out… We brought our teenage daughters and they just loved the show… (Our) youngest daughter had signed up for an improv class…and you all sparked her enthusiasm further for this type of acting. Many thanks for a wonderful evening out for our family.
I'll never forget my surprise, the first time I saw you perform, at how delightfully FUN theatre could be! I had no idea the improv process–with YOUR talents–could be so much more thrilling than regular "Expectable Entertainment." And the part in me left hungry from my creativity-starved Daily American Life suddenly felt alive and at the soda fountain! Oh, happy me! I now describe your shows as the most reliable entertainment . . . in the area. Please don't ever stop sharing your gifts!
Your performance yesterday at our auditorium was spectacular. We all enjoyed your wonderful sense of humor and wit. Your creativity was most outstanding. Everyone was attentive while you performed. . . . We learned so much about acting and how every person can express a situation differently.
You have also been a terrific teacher, really good to all of us, sincere, kind, very informative, and above all inspirational. Thank you so very much Greg. I just can't thank you enough for how much fun I have had. You do good things.
What a WONDERFUL and TALENTED bunch of folks you have!! I was entertained beyond all expectations! I laughed and laughed and was delighted the whole time! THANK YOU for showing some very wonderful Theatre. . . You do the what I like to support; folks having fun helping others to have fun and share the wonderful art of improv, music, comedy, and of course Theatre!!! Thank you again for an absolutely marvelous time! KUDOS and BRAVO to you ALL!
(We) thank you most deeply for guiding us in our exploration of the improv form. You are a superb teacher and we are grateful for your help.
You keep bringing your great good work to our community.
Thank you so much for. . . . the improv workshop. Everyone had a really great time and it was a mind-opening experience for a lot of people.
(Y)our show still sticks out in my mind as one of the most entertaining and expertly improvised shows I've ever witnessed. I laughed wholeheartedly and admired your proficiency in long-form and the correct way of doing improv — I was amazed and impressed.


The use of marijuana did not start yesterday. Different communities that knew about this plant used it for various purposes. For instance, it was used to treat a number of disorders including measles. Recreational use of this plant was also very common. Studies have proven that marijuana has medicinal properties. This is why some countries have gone ahead to legalize the use marijuana. However, there are those countries that have only legalize the medical use of this plant. Some other countries have legalized the use of marijuana for both recreational and medical purposes. There are very many benefits associated with medical marijuana. This explains the increasing popularity of the use of marijuana for medical purposes.
It is proven that marijuana cures a number of diseases. There are even many more but unproven. The following are some few examples of the proven cases. First of all, medical marijuana is used to treat pain. It is used to treat post procedure, chronic, and injury-related pains. If you compare medical marijuana with the other painkillers, you will find out that it is less toxic. The other one is cancer. Patients use medical marijuana to reduce the side effects of cancer treatment procedures. It has also shown the capability to stop the growth of some types of breast cancer tumors. It also has the same effects on glial tumor cells. It has also shown the capability of degrading the growth process of some types of leukaemia and lymphoma cells.
The other diseases that can be treated using medical marijuana is anorexia. One thing about this condition is that the critical parts of the brain of the patients involved in the feelings that we get from eating. Therefore, one big element of anorexia is unpleasant relationship with food. These patients get their appetite improved by the help of medical marijuana. Insomnia and sleep disorders can also be treated. Difficulty in falling asleep is something that affects very many people at some point in their lives. People experience lack of sleep either due to a medical condition or a mental one. Medical marijuana helps in treating the underlying problem that causes the condition.
The other medical condition that can be treated using medical marijuana is glaucoma. Patients with glaucoma experience the loss of vision. Sometimes, patients go completely blind. Lowering the pressure on the eye is the remedy to this condition. There are various ways of doing that. Medical marijuana is one of these options. Medical marijuana is widely used for the treatment of epilepsy and seizure disorders. The most widely known diseases that can be treated by medical marijuana is epilepsy.

Major Institutional Investors Say Zuckerberg's 'Totalitarian Grip' on Facebook Must End
Group calls for Facebook to divulge the concentrated power that chairman and CEO holds.
A group of major institutional investors, assembled in a spate of shareholder activism, is calling for Facebook to appoint an independent board chair, a position currently held by Mark Zuckerberg, who also serves as CEO.
"There is no check-and-balance at Facebook without an independent board chair—and Mark Zuckerberg's totalitarian grip as both CEO and Board Chair must end," said New York City Comptroller Scott M. Stringer, one of the co-filers. "Facebook's unrelenting turmoil shows why independence and accountability matter—and why power should not be consolidated around one person. Outside shareholders have sounded the alarm on the need for real oversight and governance reforms, and it's time for Facebook to listen."
The group is comprised in part by the New York State Comptroller's Office, Illinois State Treasury, Rhode Island Treasury, Connecticut Treasury, Vanguard, BlackRock, MFS, AllianceBernstein, American Funds, BNY Mellon, Goldman Sachs, John Hancock, JPMorgan, Putnam, and State Street.
The group sought an independent board chairman in its 2019 shareholder proposal. It released evidence revealing mutual funds joined the supermajority (68%) of Facebook's outside shareholders who voted against management's opposition of an independent board chair.
Zuckerberg's ownership of about 60% of the company's voting shares would leave him with full control of the business no matter what happens at its governance level.
Environmental, social, and governance (ESG)-conscious investors used to flock towards technology firms, given their relatively low greenhouse gas emissions, but focused power at the top has struck governance concerns such as this, said Robert Eccles, visiting professor of management practice at Oxford University's Saïd Business School.
The group claimed that mounting evidence asserts having someone as chair and CEO is "deeply problematic." It pointed to PwC's 2019 annual director survey, in which 57% of directors who sit on a board with a unified chair/CEO reported it is difficult to voice dissent.
A number of investors voted to keep Facebook's governance structure the way it is. Those investors included Morgan Stanley, T. Rowe Price, Fidelity Investments, Dimensional Funds, Neuberger Berman, Schwab, Invesco, and Legg Mason.
There's currently a lawsuit that the California State Teachers' Retirement System (CalSTRS) recently joined that's seeking to reform Facebook's governance, allowing it to "protect Facebook's profitability."
"We believe that Facebook's lack of an independent board Chair, along with inadequate board governance, has contributed to the mishandling of several ongoing controversies," said Rhode Island General Treasurer Seth Magaziner. "Adopting an independent board chair structure will help diversify Facebook's leadership and could help the company begin to re-build trust by incorporating additional accountability mechanisms into its governance structure."

More on Goetic Magic: Three 20th century developments
In a previous post, now a couple of months ago, I wrote about the distinction between goetia and theurgy in ceremonial magic. I tried to trace the development of the distinction, in very broad strokes, from neo-platonic discussions in late antiquity through the renaissance rehabilitation of magic, through to 19th century occultism. This was part of developing my thoughts for an article on «Goetia in Modern Western Magic», the deadline for which has now (as it usually goes with academic anthologies) been postponed. This gives me opportunity to try out some more ideas here.
The last post focused largely on how moral distinctions concerning «black» and «white» magic have been developed and negotiated through the centuries. The article I was commissioned to write is, however, supposed to deal mostly with the place of goetia among modern and contemporary practitioners of magic. I believe nevertheless that it is valuable to keep a diachronic perspective to this issue, hence the relevance of drawing up broader historic lines with attention to specific issues. By doing this we may start analysing questions of novelty, rupture, and continuity, and start theorising about any such findings.
Following up this point, I have tried to isolate a few features which I think point to important developments in the recent history of ceremonial magic. As it looks now, I have them distinguished in three neat little categories. Modern ritual magic generally, and the perception of goetia specifically, is charaterised by:
1) Explanatory reorientations;
2) Religious reorientations;
3) A strain between invention/creativity and textualism/authenticity.
I'll explain briefly what I mean by these three features.
Point one and two both have their roots in the declining relevance of Christian narratives within the milieus practicing magic. As I mentioned in the last post, a Christian sensitivity remained at the basis of interpretations of goetia and theurgy even in 19th century occultism. We see this in Eliphas Levi, S. L. Mathers, and even more obviously in A. E. Waite. It was only with Aleister Crowley, it seems, that this really started to change.
When viewed through the lenses of a Christian narrative, goetic magic gets its efficacy through actual communication and commerce with demons. This is, most basically, the explanatory orientation which was provided by Christian theology. The first feature I identify with 20th century ritual magic, then, is a move away from this «demonic realism» towards other, often «seularised» or even «disenchanted» explanatory models.
Crowley provided an early attempt when he claimed, in 1904, that talk of demons in the Goetia really referred to «portions of the brain». Evoking a demon was really nothing else than stimulating certain parts of the human brain, which would, for example, heighten the natural faculty of learning languages, logic, or liberal sciences, as some «demons» would claim to help with. In a sense, Crowley in this phase attempted to naturalise ceremonial magic – making demonic magic into a new kind of natural magic, via the help of 19th century naturalistic theories of the mind and the brain (literally: he referred to people like Henry Maudsley, Herbert Spencer and T. H. Huxley – which again connects to the connections between naturalism and spiritualism I discussed earlier). Interestingly, varieties on the theme of rescuing what's suspect of"spiritual" or "demonic" magic by claiming it's "natural magic" are found throughout the history of magic in the West.
This particular perspective has perhaps not been the most influential one (neither would it remain Crowley's only perspective throughout life, as mentioned before). Other attepts to find alternatives to the «demon hypothesis» of magical efficacy are however abundant in modern magical discourse. Among the more popular ones are various psychologizing perspectives, often trading on Jungian (or even Reichian psychology, as in Regardie), or transpersonal psychology.
The second feature we observe from the 20th century especially, is a religious reorientation. The decline of Christian perspectives did not simply leave a vacuum. In stead, a number of new religious movements have formed around occultism in the 20th century, which also provide new religious orientations for the practice of ritual magic. Again Crowley is a central figure, since he as prophet of the new religion Thelema also became a prophet of a religion which focused centrally on a concept of magic. Thelema made magic generally into a way of life, and its rituals an important part of religious observance. It also provided new ways to look at old distinctions between black and white magic, essentially replacing the old distinction between theurgy and goetia. Similar developments are found in other new religious movements, of which Wicca, modern religious Satanism, various religious perspectives on the «left-hand path», and varieties of Neo-paganism stand out.
The final point I noted is a strain between two different tendencies: a religious creativity which constantly tries to reform and reinterpret the practice of magic, and an increasingly popular strategy to legitimize one's interpretations by reference to «authenticity» and being close to original sources. Especially since the late 1970s, occultist publishers have focused increasingly on bringing out source texts, edited by practitioners and presented largely to a magical rather than scholarly audience. This has given fuel to criticisms, internal to occultism, against certain grand syntheses, such as that of the Golden Dawn. By showing discrepancies between what's in the sources (for example various grimoires, or even more controversially – the diaries of John Dee) and the Golden Dawn school, certain late-modern occultists have been able to strike out a seemingly more «scholarly» and «authentic» position.
My perspective, however, is that these claims to scholarship and authenticity are really part of the same kind of dynamic: they are strategical claims employed for legitimizing certain positions. More bluntly: the emphasis on authenticity does, in practice, replace one kind of myth-making with new ones. Occultists of a «purist» bent like this do in reality engage in what may be called emic historiography, rather than etic historiography. This becomes particularly clear when we notice what professional historians would identify as various historiographical fallacies. For example, it is not uncommon to find authors and editors of this type preferring various exotic hypotheses of provenance for certain texts when more mundane and straight forward ones are available – such as when the grimoires attributed to one «Dr. Rudd» (who there is frustratingly little evidence to suggest even existed, except from the claims of his later «copier», the known forgerer Peter Smart working at the turn of the 17th/18th centuries) are taken as evidence of a secret group of magicians carrying on the tradition of John Dee through the English civil war and restoration eras. This seems to be a typical strategy in much esoteric historywriting, whether it attempts to cloth itself in the fabric of historical scholarship or not.

A term that Crowley used when writing to Smith applies here: drifting occultist. They jump from one system to the next, while trying to rationalize their involvements as being one that validates them in the eyes of a secular society. It's the smorgasbord approach which cherry picks material according to an individual's prejudices. Crowley often had people wanting to learn secrets from him when it involved magic and they would reject Thelema because it was a religion. We see this in the occult community when members of it are opposed to any form of orthodoxy and not orthopraxy.

Thanks for the remark. To the point about Crowley, I realise I should've mentioned in the post how Crowley's own approach to the "reality" issue changed in significant ways later in his career.

I just discovered your blog, via Thony C and the Giant's Shoulders. Very interesting stuff!
A couple points:
1. We'll be in the Netherlands 1-8 July, divided between Breda and Utrecht. Are there any good talks in this period?
2. Have you ever looked at certain branches of Born Again Protestantism (certainly US but likely also everywhere not Europe) as forms of theurgy? I knew a reborn Christian girl who used to "armor herself" and drive demons out of friends and acquaintances. This was suburban Maryland in 1990.
Glad you like the blog, and sorry for taking so long to reply.
1: Nothing in particular springs to mind, immediately..
2: I haven't, but I think it may be wise to keep a distinction between exorcism practices (which also have very ancient roots) and theurgy in the sense discussed in my posts. Perhaps it's easier to find overlaps with goetic magic, as those rituals have been influenced by ecclesiastical exorcism rituals.
On June 25, 2010 at 1:45 pm Antiquated Tory said:
Ah, there you go, I was thinking of exorcism as theurgy because it calls on God, but I see where is has more in common with goetic magic, since it concerns demons. Thank you very much for answering my naive comment.

Water retention is a metabolic disorder that involves the accumulation of water or other substances in the body.
It usually occurs in the legs, hands, or abdomen, sometimes causing swelling in the ankles and should be controlled because it can be a sign of heart failure.
There may also be fluid retention in the face and eyes, which make your face look bloated.
Fluid retention occurs when there is an imbalance in the level of body fluids, when blood vessels pour too much fluid on body tissues or when this is retained in tissues and does not return to the blood vessels.
The same occurs when the lymphatic vessels that transport lymph, are unable to carry part of the remaining liquid.
Using tight clothes doesn't improve blood circulation, leading to fluid retention in the lower extremities.
Some medications, such as antidepressants or hormone treatments, can be accompanied by fluid retention.
Excessive consumption of salt is another of the most common causes.
In women, hormonal imbalances, pre-menstrual period, usually come together with this annoying symptom.
Heat and humidity can dilate blood vessels, so that more liquid is filtered and promotes tissue swelling and typical fluid retention.
Some physical activities and standing for too long, or conversely prolonged sitting, can cause fluid retention.
There are some compounds that help eliminate fluid through the urine, are known as diuretics. Here we can find several fruits and most teas.
Because of their action, also cause the body to remove potassium, a mineral that is important, so those who consume these juices, or follow a diuretic therapy, should remember to use a potassium supplement or eating foods that are rich in this mineral, such as bananas and orange juice.
Wash and cut the guavas, pass them in juicer along with other fruits and drink immediately.
Take the ingredients and combine in the extractor. Take once a day.
Wash and disinfect the ingredients.
Take off the tail to strawberries to disinfect.
Squeeze the juice from the oranges, and pass strawberries and parsley for the juicer.
First prepare the infusion, putting one little handful of hibiscus flower leaves in a cup of water.
Once ready, add the pineapple and blend until smooth juice. Drink daily.

The camera crew films Michael Schraeder catching a trout at Dry Run Creek during a segment for the "American Fly Guide" cable television show. (Photo: Submitted photo )
I want to begin by saying that this column isn't meant to be boastful in any way. I just want to share what it was like to spend a day fishing in front of a camera and not make a fool of myself!
Miss school or fish?
It all started when our friend, Duane Hada, called to ask if I would be interested in missing a day of school to be on a fishing show with him that was being filmed in the area. (Hmm, let me think?)
Well, the answer was obviously yes, but I have to admit being nervous at the thought of being in front of a camera.
Duane explained that the name of the show was the "American Fly Guide," which would air on the World Fishing Network. The producer and his crew had planned to film a couple of days here on the North Fork and White rivers, and then a day on the Little Red. However, once they arrived, it was decided to do part of the filming on Dry Run Creek, as well.
The trick for the Dry Run segment of the show was finding someone under the age of 16 — and that's where I came in.
Day begins at Olde Tyme
Following a not-so-restful night, we all met downtown for breakfast at the Olde Tyme Restaurant. After I finished my bowl of oatmeal (my stomach was churning), Carlton, the show's producer, looked over at the cameraman and said, "Why don't we go ahead and get Michael and Duane miked up and start filming here in the restaurant."
Again, the name of the show is the "American Fly Guide," so Duane was to be my guideon the show. Well, as you can imagine, as soon as the cameras and wireless microphones came out, we suddenly had the attention of everyone in the restaurant. Now, I can't count the number of times my parents have told me to sit up straight at the table. So I was a little surprised during the first break when Dad informed me that I needed to relax, because I was sitting up too straight!
After we left the restaurant, we continued to film in the van on the way to Dry Run. I can tell you that it is not easy to discuss fly patterns, and to "act natural," when you're in the backseat and the cameraman is turned around backwards in the front seat with the camera in your face.
First thought, keep mikes dry
Once we arrived at the creek, it was time to get into our waders, re-route the microphone wires and get into the water. Then all I needed to do was catch some fish worthy of a national television show.
Oh, by the way, the microphones cost $800 apiece and can't get wet.
Now, I've been blessed to be able to fish Dry Run Creek for the past 2½ years. If you've ever been there, or taken someone, you know it's just all part of a day's fishing when that BIG brown trout spits your fly out and the bend in your rod sends your sow bug skyward, and you watch your tippet wrap around a tree limb up to the indicator.
However, it's a completely different story being recorded.
But, seriously, it was a great experience and a great day of fishing. We had the creek to ourselves, and the brown trout had moved into the creek to spawn, so I was fortunate enough to catch a couple of big ones for the show.
And, best of all, we never fell into the water with our microphones on.
Schraeder, 13, is an 8th-grader at Mountain Home Junior High School, occasional writer for Trout Unlimited Magazine and the Southern Council Federation of Fly Fishers' Junior Fly Tying champion.


PEP&CO, Poundland's fashion brand, is on track to trade from more than 300 locations across the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland by the end of June – just a little over 12 months since it began its 'shop-in-shop' roll out.
In just three short years, PEP&CO expects to become a £100m+ annual turnover business by the year end, employing around 2,000 directly or through Poundland.
This rapid expansion has come at the same time the high street is being battered by closures and empty stores – a good news story that contrasts with the retrenchments, CVAs and gloom that dominate the headlines.
In an added twist, the rapid expansion means PEP&CO fashion will be available in more locations than M&S at some point this year. In mid June, Poundland and PEP&CO will open together in a former M&S store in Accrington, Lancashire.
Other upcoming openings in Milford Haven, Edgware, Wallsend and Naas in the Republic of Ireland will give Poundland true fashion scale – putting it on course to be a top 15 UK clothing retailer by volume alongside or ahead of the likes of River Island, TopMan, ASOS and Peacocks, based on widely used 26-week fashion research data.
Since launch, shoppers have been seduced by PEP&CO's combination of amazing value and style, with prices starting at £1 and over nine in ten items at £10 or less.
Since launching in Poundland, PEP&CO has sold over three million £5 value jeggings. And for men, PEP&CO's 100 per cent cotton £2.00 t-shirts have been a major hit in the aisles.
"Supercar-like acceleration, from nought to 300 in what seems like three seconds, not three years, is an amazing achievement," said PEP&CO's incoming Merchandising Director, Sarah Morgan.
PEP&CO is set to celebrate passing the 300 store mark with a range of activity – from giving away 300 pairs of Flip Flops in selected stores on National Flip Flop Day (15 June), to a Facebook competition to win a family holiday.
PEP&CO was recently nominated as one of the UK's top 2018 Emerging Retailer at the prestigious Retail Week Awards alongside brands such as Birchbox and Lorna Jane.
