Miles To Run Before I Sleep: How An Ordinary Woman Ran An Extraordinary Distance by Sumedha Mahajan
"I wanted to create history. I did. Six people set a record by running 1,500 km in thirty days. And I was the lone woman who battled insurmountable odds to complete the race" (p.xiii).
This is a poignant and moving story of an Indian woman's journey running 1,500km from Delhi to Mumbai in thirty days. The project was known as Greenathon to raise money and awareness for the environment. She was part of a team with five other male runners. In recent years there has been an explosion of ultra runners writing their stories and experiences of running endurance races. Some stories and quality of the writing are better than others. What makes this different and a surprise read is that it is a story of an Indian woman's feat that truly inspires and one that you admire in its rawness and openness. People expected her to fail and give up. Her account of what she endured, experienced and ultimately succeeded in her goal running shoulder to shoulder with the men is a journey of self-discovery eloquently written.
"At every step we were being tested – our beliefs, our endurance, our faith, everything. Every now and then we would ask ourselves whether it was all worth it. Each one of us had fought our individual battles and now it was time for us to go on" (p.155)
Her story begins in Amritsar where as a child she had severe asthmatic health problems and her peers shunned her as being a 'defective piece' and 'dadima'. However with the drive and coaching of her father she coped with her asthma attacks to become a national lawn tennis player. However, she did not pursue lawn tennis at a professional level as it dawned on her that she was nowhere close to being in the top rung of Indian tennis.
Her corporate job took her to Delhi where she took up running to improve her health and deal with her asthma. Running ignited her passion to push herself beyond her limits, firstly running the Mumbai Marathon and then challenging herself to running ultra running races. Her inexperience and undertraining did not deter her from competing in these endurance races. Her self-belief, faith and enthusiasm propelled her onward in her running journey.
The main body of the book describes her experiences of running from Delhi to Mumbai, a total of 1,500km. It is a day by day journal of what she endured in the unforgiving Indian heat, the traffic, pollution and the prejudice and stereotyping of the Indian public and even of the run's crew and organisers. On top of that she had to battle numerous health issues. In the West we take it for granted that women are free and independent to participate in sports, however, for a married Indian women to run in some of the most conservative Indian states was a challenge in its own right. Just the shorts and t-shirt that she ran in drew disapproving comments from some quarters. Her story is about challenging stereotypes and confronting India's gender inequalities and highlighting the plight of India's environmental pollution in its rush to join and compete with the industrialised developed countries.
Ultimately though her story is about the determination, courage, perseverance and the spirit of the human soul. In a way one would say she is ordinary, but that would be to do an injustice to what she achieved – it was something very special and extraordinary. I think in India she is a pioneer, a shining beacon leading the way for women's amateur sport, and confronting and challenging the status quo. But, with any individual achievement and success her story touchingly describes the bonds she develops with her fellow team members, her crew and how the physical and mental strains made her a stronger person. Her journey is one of self-awareness and this endurance feat brings into sharp focus the spirituality and nature of India and humanity.
The story is very endearing of a person wishing to break the mould and follow her dreams. The book is a joy to read and has a freshness and innocence to it. As such you can't put it down until you finish her story. With so many books on the market in the genre of endurance running this is a wonderful read that will touch your mind, heart and soul and have you reflecting of what one can truly achieve against insurmountable odds. This book simply confirms that we are all destined to achieve and do something special in our lives.

Prosecuting Drug-Dependent, Pregnant Women Hurts Families
By Emily Eckert
Program Associate, Health Reform Implementation; AMCHP
The concept of stigmatizing and punishing pregnant women and new mothers for having drug dependency problems is not new in the United States. ProPublica reports that since 1973, women have been prosecuted for illicit drug use during pregnancy in at least 45 states. According to the National Advocates for Pregnant Women, a group working to protect the rights and dignity of pregnant and parenting women, more than 800 women have been jailed for drug dependency issues in the last decade alone.
These indictments are part of a broader national initiative to curb opioid use and reduce the rate of infants born with neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS). NAS is a drug withdrawal syndrome that most commonly occurs after in-utero exposure to opioids. The number of babies born with NAS in the United States has risen in recent years, with one study reporting that the rate of neonatal intensive care unit admissions for newborns with NAS increased from seven cases per 1,000 admissions in 2004 to 27 cases per 1,000 admissions in 2013 (see figure 1). Prenatal care is proven to greatly reduce the negative effects of substance use during pregnancy for both mother and baby; however, pregnant women with substance use disorders may be dissuaded from seeking care for fear of the potential legal consequences.
There are serious legal consequences for the use of illicit substances during pregnancy. As of March 2016, substance abuse during pregnancy is specifically considered a criminal act in one state, and it is considered an act of child abuse in 18 states. In three states, drug use during pregnancy is grounds for involuntary civil commitment to a treatment center. Eighteen states have laws requiring health care workers to report suspected drug use by a pregnant woman to local authorities, and four states require hospitals to perform a drug test if drug use during pregnancy is suspected.
This breadth of state laws, though ostensibly designed to curb addiction and produce optimally healthy infants, actually results in poorer health outcomes. According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG):
"Incarceration and the threat of incarceration have proved to be ineffective in reducing the incidence of alcohol or drug abuse. Legally mandated testing and reporting puts the therapeutic relationship between the obstetrician-gynecologist and the patient at risk, potentially placing the physician in an adversarial relationship with the patient."
ACOG further concludes that "drug enforcement policies that deter women from seeking prenatal care are contrary to the welfare of the mother and fetus."
The criminalization of pregnant women with substance use disorders is a social justice issue that disproportionately impacts low-income women and women of color. Though no research indicates higher rates of substance use during pregnancy for black women versus non-black women, black women and their babies are more than 1.5 times more likely to be drug tested in a hospital setting than are non-black women, and 10 times more likely to be reported to public health officials. One study found that other factors besides race can also contribute to the likelihood that a pregnant woman or new mom be tested for illicit drug use. These factors include lower socioeconomic status, being unmarried, having less than a high school education, being unemployed and having Medicaid or no insurance coverage at all.
Serving nearly 1.5 million pregnant women and more than three million infants under age 1 annually, the Title V Maternal and Child Health Services Block Grant has an important role to play in addressing illicit drug use during pregnancy. One way Title V can make a difference is by promoting the well-woman visit (National Performance Measure No. 1). The well-woman visit provides a unique opportunity for physicians to talk with their patients about reproductive life planning, mental health, diet, intimate partner violence and substance use. Having these conversations with women before and between pregnancies can increase the chances of healthy birth outcomes. Fifty states and jurisdictions selected NPM No. 1 as a focus area in their 2016 Block Grant applications.
All states should work to ensure that the proper services and supports are available to all women with substance use disorders. This can be accomplished in part by removing the stigma of substance use during pregnancy and reducing explicit and implicit bias in the health care system.

With a winter romance theme in mind, Caitlyn Omensetter (28 and a nanny) and Jonathan Pfeifer (28 and a truck manufacturer) filled their colonial-style setting with pine cone details and frosty shades of ivory, blue and gray. The couple didn't have to search long to find their dream venue at Peddler's Village in Lahaska. "The space looked absolutely beautiful during the winter season," Caitlyn says. "It was the first venue we looked at, and we booked it immediately." Flowers were key for bringing their wintery vision to life. Soft white blooms accented with sage-colored greens mirrored freshly fallen snow, and white carriage lanterns filled with ivory pillar candles helped create a warm, inviting atmosphere. Taking a slight divergence from their cool weather theme, Caitlyn and Jonathan put a summery twist on dessert, serving a buttercream neapolitan cake made with layers of sweet strawberry cream. "Guests still tell me that our cake was the best they've ever had," Caitlyn says. After sipping on signature cranberry champagne cocktails, guests took home snowflake wine bottle stoppers that served as favors.

ARROW Season 8×01, "Starling City" recap
Welcome back, Arrowheads, as we start the final season of Arrow! In case you need a reminder of what happened in the season finale, here's the short version: Oliver has been recruited by The Monitor to save the entire multiverse from destruction, but it's a mission that will end in Ollie's demise (he did make a deal with The Monitor to sacrifice himself for his comrades, after all)! But what is this mission exactly? Let's find out in a second, but first, let's deal with the flashforwards to 2040 and the Queen siblings and get that out of the way, okay?
Deathstroke(s). Future Team Arrow is keeping eyes on some gala event when hearing the Deathstroke gang is going to hit the place, and turns out thanks to not the best team cohesion, happens. They snatch one guy, and it's obvious to the Team that the gang is lead by…Diggle's son, JJ! This is a slight problem with our Future Team, because Connor is a bit conflicted in dealing with his brother, and Mia knows it. Well, it turns out she's right because when they track the kidnapped man down, JJ gets the better of the Team, and takes off with access to some rather foreboding tech that may be trouble. Soooooo…that happened. Anyway…
Suiting up again, one more last time.
Going Home Again (Again). Back in the present, we go to Lian Yu, and everything seems oddly familiar: someone lighting a giant pyre to signal a fishing boat, just like in the premiere. But then there are oddities, like instead of Deathstroke's mask stuck to a spike, there's…a Batman cowl? And the man is Ollie…but not as scraggly as when he was first found on the island? And we learn that Ollie has been gone for…TEN years?
And Moira is alive…married to Malcolm Merlyn? And Tommy's alive? And Thea's dead? And this is Starling City? WHAT IS HAPPENING??
Okay, what we learn is Ollie is OUR Ollie, but this isn't OUR Earth, but Earth-2! Ollie has been sent there by The Monitor on a mission to retrieve some dwarf star particles for part of the big plan to save the multiverse, and those are located at a lab run by Moira and Malcolm for some clean energy project. He arrive DOJ his Green Arrow gear to find the particles gone, the scientists dead with arrows through them, and…the Green Arrow? Before things get too dicey with our two archers, Evil Laurel shows up (with a new look to boot!) and breaks up the fight. And this Earth's Green Arrow? Um, it's Adrian Chase! Our bad guy from season five is a good guy on this Earth!
The World Is (Not) The Same. Ollie goes to Evil Laurel and The Hood/Chase's HQ, and we learn since she came back to Earth-2 that she's been fighting crime and trying to track down the "Dark Archer" who killed those scientists. Ollie believes that Malcolm is clearly the Dark Archer, because, duh, why wouldn't he be? Ollie tries to find out more about Malcolm's clean energy project and it seems…it's above board. Plus, the Monitor shows up to remind him that the mission to retrieve the dwarf star particles is the priority, not this Dark Archer hunt. Well, Ollie hangs around the family office as Malcolm gets attacked by the Dark Archer, which causes Ollie to intervene. And as the Dark Archer escapes, we discover that our baddie is…Tommy!
The next morning, Malcolm is being interrogated by Earth-2's Dinah, and getting the cold treatment by Rene, who represents the Queen family. Thanks to the attack on Malcolm, Moira gets Ollie a bodyguard in the meantime…John Diggle! Only surprise to Ollie as he discovers when they are both alone, it's OUR John Diggle! He found out about Ollie's trip via Felicity, and thanks to one of those portable breach devices, tracked Ollie down. Ollie's not okay with Diggle following him on this mission, but better to have back up in this case.
Later that night, Ollie and Diggle go to Tommy's club and Ollie decides to confront Tommy without backup from John. Big mistake, since Tommy has Ollie knocked unconscious…and with help from Earth-2's Rene and Dinah!
"By the way, thanks Tommy. Your dad did this to me too, but he took my shirt off then. No concern for whether I'd catch a cold or not. You're a true buddy."
History Repeating Itself. Ollie finds himself chained up, as Tommy tries to figure out why he's back. But what we learn is that Thea's overdose in the Glades thanks to her grief of losing their Ollie was so traumatic to Tommy, he put a plan in the motion to make the Glades pay for it. Yep, you guessed it, Tommy Merlyn has created his own Undertaking, and it's happening soon thanks to those stolen dwarf star particles. While Tommy goes to start that up, Ollie manages to escape with the help of Diggle.
Ollie and Diggle meet up with Evil Laurel and Chase, and lay out what's going on. It's clear that Tommy wants the Glades to be destroyed, so Ollie figures that the device would be set off wherever Thea died. Makes sense, I guess.
A Better Way. Our heroes head to the building and run into some goons, but Ollie runs off to go confront Tommy on the rooftop with his machine. They fight, but Tommy tells him there's no way to stop the machine unless he does it. Instead of beating the code to switch if off out of Tommy, Ollie appeals to Tommy to be a better man than this, to be the good friend he remembered him to be. And…it works? Yeah, Tommy is convinces to shut off the machine. That was easy.
After Tommy and his cronies Dinah and Rene are arrested, the heroes meet up where Ollie gets those dwarf star particles. It seems it's time to go home, and Diggle offers to join Ollie on his mission, even knowing there may be no way to save Ollie from his fate. But there's a stop they have to make before they head back to their Earth…
(A) World Ends. Ollie visits Tommy in holding at the Earth-2 police station to offer up consolation before he leaves. And of course, he says goodbye to Moira, even if she doesn't realize he's not going to be hanging around. As Ollie and Diggle are about to leave the station and breach back home, things get weird. Alarms and cell phones start going off, and Evil Laurel rushes in, saying she's needs their help. With what, exactly? Well, a red wave starts to creepy through the station, enveloping and destroying people! Ollie gets to see Moira and Tommy vanish into the red wave, as Diggle hits the breach device so they can escape. Dig, Evil Laurel, and Ollie go through the breach just as it seems EVERYTHING is enveloped by the red field!
I guess they are now…SLIDERS? Nah, that's a silly name. BREACHERS?
If you watched the other CW superhero shows this week, you might recognize that wave from The Flash, as that same field as the one Barry saw in the future…that destroys his Earth! Sooooo…Earth-2 is G-O-N-E FOREVER! What a way to start the final season!
–Series connections: In a change of pace, let's talk about the connections to the previous seasons than the comics since there's way more meat to the former this time around. You got several lines of dialogue from the series said by different actors than the people who said them ("Why don't you find him and ask?" "I'm thinking ten steps ahead of you."). There's a nice callback to Diggle's first encounter with Ollie, and how Dig finally gets to keep him in the car this time! And of course, how Ollie's escape plays almost exactly like it did in the first season (down to Diggle's way of tracking Ollie).
–We get some salmon ladder action…but by Adrian Chase. Can't blame Ollie for being a little jealous.
–I'm not sure what the ramifications of Earth-2 being wiped out of existence will mean for The Flash yet, seeing as how one of the Harrison Wells comes from there, as does his daughter Jesse Quick. Not that they have their own set of problems on that show, as Barry learns he'll die saving the universe. Lots to consider as we get closer to the big winter crossover.
–Ollie has Felicity and baby Mia still on his mind (maybe William, but he doesn't have a photo with him on this trip), even thinking he sees Felicity in the family office.
–Evil Laurel turns out to have turned over a new leaf after all, but how is she going to take that her entire universe has been eradicated? I'm just saying, that will be interesting to see.
–Some fun differences in Earth-2 is Curtis is running the Queen tech department, Felicity is running her own company, and Adrian was trained by Bruce Wayne? I hate to know who's Bat cowl was back on Lian Yu, then.
–"On my Earth, you had a better teacher." Lesson learned after you got your butts quickly kicked, Evil Dinah and Evil Rene.
–"I didn't know they had WiFi on Lian Yu."
–"No one listens to the tech guy!"
–"That was a pretty good speech."
That's it, but come back next week for the recap of "Welcome To Hong Kong"…

six-word memoirs, illustrated
01/11/13 — autobiography, biography, creative, drawing, illustrations, introspection, memoir, psychology, story
while browsing brain pickings the other day, i read about this cool book called Things Don't Have To Be Complicated: Illustrated Six-Word Memoirs by Students Making Sense of the World. author larry smith asked students to illustrate their own 6-word memoir. while breaking your life down to 6 words might seem too restrictive, the book's intro offers a different perspective:
As an autobiographical challenge, the six-word limitation forces us to pinpoint who we are and what matters most — at least in the moment. The constraint fuels rather than limits our creativity.
check out what some people (ages 8-23) did with it in the pics below (click on them for a closer look + caption).
what would be your 6-word memoir? share in the comments. if you want to go a step further by illustrating it, email it to atolemdro@gmail.com & i'll feature it in this post.

Really, really interesting. We, many times, think that we are "all that, and some" when our memoir could be six words or even less. I like the last one. If we stopped to break walls down – those we hide behind many misunderstandings would be prevented.
agreed. it's also interesting seeing how ppl might respond at different ages & how they choose to illustrate their lives (in words & images)
and that "breaks walls down" one was a favorite of mine as well.

A Delaware bankruptcy judge cleared several important hurdles in Midway Game's Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings today, approving the $33 million sale of most of the company's assets to Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc.
According to today's court filings, the judge also approved a settlement between Midway Games' creditors committee and the company's majority shareholder, Mark Thomas.
Warner Bros. had submitted a $33 million bid to buy "substantially all" of Midway's assets. If there had been other bids, the court would have supervised an auction process. But no other parties submitted competing bids, according to a Tuesday court filing by Midway.
Several companies had filed objections to the Midway asset sale, mostly over intellectual property disputes. These companies included Hollywood production company Threshold Entertainment Inc., which produced the two feature-length Mortal Kombat films, and Tigon Studios Inc., a production company founded by action star Vin Diesel. Tigon and Midway collaborated on Wheelman, a video game starring Diesel.

One of the great privileges of being editor of Supply Chain Standard is to sit on the judging panel for the European Supply Chain Awards each year.
Many of Europe's leading companies enter the Awards each year, and as a result, the Awards give a picture not only of the rapid development of supply chain thinking across different industry sectors, but also the tremendous commitment and drive of supply chain professionals.
It's clear that the tough economic conditions have encouraged companies to look hard at their supply chains. It was clear to the judges that the overall calibre of entries this year has gone up – and that is from a very strong year last year.
It was also apparent that for more and more organisations, supply chain is now a board level issue – and some organisations are also using it as a competitive weapon.
And I think it is a reflection of the maturity of the discipline that supply chain professionals are increasingly looking to engage with other functions within the organisation.
On a personal note, I was struck by the difficulty and danger of the conditions in which some supply chain professionals work.
So who are the winners? Well that will be announced on Tuesday 1st November at a celebration dinner at the Hilton Hotel in London's Park Lane.
It promises to be a fantastic evening. I look forward to seeing you there.

Immune privilege in the testis: II. Evaluation of potential local factors
J. R. Head, R. E. Billingham
The significance of several local factors in prolonging allograft survival in the rat testis has been investigated. The lower temperature of this organ was shown to have no effect, because parathyroid gland allografts implanted s.c. in the ear, which is similarly hypothermic, were rejected as promptly as in conventional sites. Conversely, testes secured in the abdominal cavity afforded privilege to grafts just as well as normal testes. With indirect immunofluorescence using a monoclonal antibody, it was shown that the testis' interstitial tissue is well-endowed with cells bearing class II histocompatibility antigens, a prerequisite for antigen-processing capability. When intratesticular allograft recipients were pretreated with estrogen to suppress Leydig cell synthesis of testosterone, most grafts were rejected promptly, suggesting that local steroid secretion is important in testicular immune privilege. Both testes and s.c. sites supported inflammatory reactions to cotton pledgets, indicating that there is no interference with the nonspecific inflammatory process necessary for graft rejection, but more likely with antigen processing itself.

N2 - The significance of several local factors in prolonging allograft survival in the rat testis has been investigated. The lower temperature of this organ was shown to have no effect, because parathyroid gland allografts implanted s.c. in the ear, which is similarly hypothermic, were rejected as promptly as in conventional sites. Conversely, testes secured in the abdominal cavity afforded privilege to grafts just as well as normal testes. With indirect immunofluorescence using a monoclonal antibody, it was shown that the testis' interstitial tissue is well-endowed with cells bearing class II histocompatibility antigens, a prerequisite for antigen-processing capability. When intratesticular allograft recipients were pretreated with estrogen to suppress Leydig cell synthesis of testosterone, most grafts were rejected promptly, suggesting that local steroid secretion is important in testicular immune privilege. Both testes and s.c. sites supported inflammatory reactions to cotton pledgets, indicating that there is no interference with the nonspecific inflammatory process necessary for graft rejection, but more likely with antigen processing itself.

State Board of Equalization v. Young's Market Co.
"The transportation or importation into any State, Territory, or possession of the United States for delivery or use therein of intoxicating liquors, in violation of the laws thereof, is hereby prohibited,"
a State may exact a license fee for the privilege of importing beer from other States. P. 299 U. S. 61.
2. There is no ground (1) for the proposition that such a tax violates the commerce clause by discriminating against the wholesaler of imported beer in favor of the wholesaler of beer locally brewed, both paying the same wholesaler's license tax; or (2) for the proposition that the right conferred by the amendment to prohibit importation is conditional upon prohibition of local manufacture and sale. Pp. 299 U. S. 61-62.
3. A California law imposing a fee of $500 per annum for the privilege of importing beer, and $750 per annum for the privilege of manufacturing beer, held consistent with the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, first, because a classification recognized by the Twenty-first Amendment cannot be deemed forbidden by the Fourteenth, and second, because the classification rests on conditions requiring difference of treatment. P. 299 U. S. 64.
Appeal from a decree of a three-judge District Court enjoining officials of the California from enforcing a license fee fr the privilege of importing beer.

Q: wildcard subdomain is not working with static subdomain on live server I deployed my project on live server by creating subdomain app.example.net on cpanel. And put my project in app.example.net folder.
In my project I have two route groups like below
Routes.php

<?php

Route::group(['domain' => 'app.example.net'], function(){
    Route::get('/', function () {
        if (auth()->check()) {
            return redirect('http://'.session('subdomain').'.example.net/home');
        }
        return view('welcome');
    })->name('homepage');
    Route::get('/register', 'Auth\RegisterController@showRegistrationForm')->name('register');
    Route::post('/register', 'Auth\RegisterController@register');
    Route::get('/login', 'Auth\LoginController@showLoginForm')->name('login');
    Route::post('/login', 'Auth\LoginController@login')->name('login');
    Route::get('/setupCompany', 'CompanyController@setupCompanyForm')->name('setupCompanyForm');
    Route::post('/setupCompany', 'CompanyController@setupCompany')->name('setupCompany');
    Route::get('/register/verify', 'CompanyController@verfiy')->name('registerVerify');

});

Route::group(['domain'=> '{subdomain}.example.net', 'middleware' => 'checkSubdomain'],function () {
    Route::get('/', 'Auth\CompanyLoginController@showLoginForm')->name('companyLogin');
    Route::post('/', 'Auth\CompanyLoginController@login')->name('companyLogin');

    Route::group(['middleware' => 'customAuth'],function(){
        Route::get('/home', 'HomeController@index')->name('home');
        Route::post('/logout', 'Auth\LoginController@logout')->name('logout');
        Route::post('/inviteClient', 'HomeController@inviteClient'); //ajax req
        Route::get('/profile', ['as' => 'profile.edit', 'uses' => 'ProfileController@edit']);
        Route::put('profile', ['as' => 'profile.update', 'uses' => 'ProfileController@update']);
        Route::put('profile/password', ['as' => 'profile.password', 'uses' => 'ProfileController@password']);

        Route::get('/getClients', 'HomeController@clients'); //ajax req

    });
});

here is my .htaccess file in project's public folder
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    <IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
        Options -MultiViews -Indexes
    </IfModule>

    RewriteEngine On

    # Handle Authorization Header
    RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} .
    RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]

    # Redirect Trailing Slashes If Not A Folder...
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (.+)/$
    RewriteRule ^ %1 [L,R=301]

    # Handle Front Controller...
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
</IfModule>

when I go to app.example.net it works but when I go to wildcard subdomain e.g abc.example.net it gives 404 error
Not Found
The requested URL was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

how to resolve this error so that wildcard subdomain also works.

Home Magick Silence
Of all the Magical and Mystical Virtues, of all the Graces of the Soul, of all the Attainments of the Spirit, none has been so misunderstood, even when at all apprehended, as Silence.
It would not be possible to enumerate the common errors: nay, it may be said that to think of it at all is in itself an error; for its nature is Pure Being, that is to say, Nothing, so that it is beyond all intellection or intuition. Thus then the utmost of our Essay can be only a certain Wardenship, as it were a Tyling of the Lodge wherein the Mystery of Silence may be consummated.
For this attitude there is sound traditional authority; for Harpocrates, God of Silence, is called "The Lord of Defense and Protection."
But His nature is by no means that negative and passive silence which the word commonly connotes; for He is the All-Wandering Spirit; the Pure and Perfect Knight-Errant, who answers all Enigmas, and opens the Closed Portal of the King's Daughter. But Silence in the vulgar sense is not the answer to the Riddle of the Sphinx; it is that which is created by that answer. For Silence is the Equilibrium of Perfection; so that Harpocrates is the omniform, the universal Key to every Mystery soever. The Sphinx is the "Puzzel or Pucelle," the Feminine Idea to which there is only one complement, always different in form, and always identical in essence. This is the signification of the Gesture of the God; it is shewn more clearly in His adult form as the Fool of the Tarot and as Bacchus Diphues, and without equivocation when He appears as Baphomet.
When we inquire more closely into His symbolism, the first quality which engages our attention is doubtless His innocence. Not without deep wisdom is He called the twin of Horus; and this is the Aeon of Horus: it is He who sent forth Aiwass His minister to proclaim its advent. The Fourth Power of the Sphinx is Silence; to us then who aspire to this power as the crown of our Work, it will be of utmost value to attain His innocence in all its fullness. We must understand first of all that the root of Moral Responsibility, on which Man stupidly prides himself as distinguishing him from the other animals, is Restriction, which is the Word of Sin. Indeed, there is truth in the Hebrew fable, that the knowledge of Good and Evil brings forth Death. To regain Innocence is to regain Eden. We must learn to live without the murderous consciousness that every breath we draw swells the sails which bear our frail vessels to the Port of the Grave. We must cast our Fear by Love; seeing that Every Act is an Orgasm, their total issue cannot be but Birth. Also, Love is the law: thus every act must be Righteousness and Truth. By certain Meditations this may be understood and established; and this ought to be done so thoroughly that we become unconscious of our Sanctification, for only then is Innocence made perfect. This state is, in fact, a necessary condition of any proper contemplation of what we are accustomed to consider the first task of the Aspirant, the solution of the question, "What is my True Will?" For until we become innocent, we are certain to try to judge our Will by some Canon of what seems `right' or `wrong'; in other words, we are apt to criticise our Will from the outside, whereas True Will should spring, a fountain of Light, from within, and flow unchecked, seething with Love, into the Ocean of Life.
This is the true idea of Silence; it is our Will which issues, perfectly elastic, sublimely Protean, to fill every interstice of the Universe of Manifestation which it meets in its course. There is no gulf too great for its immeasurable strength, no strait too arduous for its imperturbable subtlety. It fits itself with perfect precision to every need; its fluidity is the warrant of its fidelity. Its form is always varied by that of the particular imperfection which it encounters: its essence is identical in every event. And always the effect of its action is Perfection, that is, Silence; and this Perfection is ever the same, being perfect, yet ever different, because each case presents its own peculiar quantity and quality.
It is impossible for inspiration itself to sound a dithyramb of Silence; for each new aspect of Harpocrates is worthy of the music of the Universe throughout Eternity. I have simply been led by my loyal Love of that strange Race among whom I find myself incarnate to indite this poor stanza of the infinite Epic of Harpocrates as being the facet of His fecund Brilliance which has refracted the most needful light upon mine own darkling Entrance to His shrine of fulminating, of ineffable Godhead.
I praise the luxuriant Rapture of Innocence, the virile and pantomorphous Ecstasy of all-Fulfilment; I praise the Crowned and Conquering Child whose name is Force and Fire, whose subtlety and strength make sure serenity, whose Energy and Endurance accomplish the Attainment of the Virgin of the Absolute; who, being manifested, is the Player upon the sevenfold pipe, the Great God Pan, and, being withdrawn into the Perfection that he willed, is Silence.

Anyone who has actually looked into the reasons for the current drought in California will understand that occurrences of dry spells have been common for the area over the course of eons.
It is left-wing politicians and the complicit media that have fanned this drought into a sh*t storm that they quickly blame on man-made (anthropogenic) climate change. In their book, the adage of "never waste a crisis" is repeated loud and often.
Image: One of many similar signs posted near I-99 and I-5 in Sacramento Delta country.
We all know (and the left knows it too) that the issue is very poor water management in California. In the name of saving the endangered "Delta Smelt," a two-inch fish, the politicians have steadfastly refused to allow water from the Sacramento River to flow to places where it is needed. The URLs of organizations visible on the sign in the image (click to enlarge) link to groups who know this and are working at the grassroots level to promote water flow.
As an aside, did you know that CO2 Science is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization? Donations to this anti-anthropogenic global warming organization are fully tax deductible. We donate to their organization not only to promote the truth about AGW, but to piss off the IRS, the Obama administration and all the Greenbats in general by getting a tax deduction for doing so.
There are others that fit the 501(c)(3) piss-em-off category. The Second Amendment Foundation, numerous Christian organizations, Military and Veteran support organizations and so on. We no longer have mortgage deductions, so to offset that, we tend to donate what we can to good charities who will promote our values.

Up To Three New Businesses To Replace Bank at Lee-Harrison Shopping Center
Kalina Newman December 6, 2019 at 1:45pm
Up to three new businesses are set to replace the long-vacant Cardinal Bank building at the Lee-Harrison Shopping Center.
According to the shopping center's developer A.J. Dwoskin & Associates, the bank's demolition began earlier this week, and the new building will be "going up as quickly as possible."
The company is early in its efforts to lease the 4,312 square feet of available space and "[does] not have any signed leases yet."
"Depending on what deals come our way, we could have up to three new businesses," said A.J. Dwoskin Marketing Director Lindsay Gilbert.
A county building permit submitted by A.J. Dwoskin at the bank's current address (5335 Lee Hwy) details the building's demolition, and adds that "the proposed building will be a 3,476 square foot restaurant space with a maximum of 125 seats." The company would not comment on the permit or its mention of a restaurant.
Per signage at the construction site, the "retail pad building delivery" is expected in the first three months of 2020, but Gilbert said she does not expect any businesses operating in the spaces until later in the year.
"We're particularly excited about the demolition, as that always creates a little neighborhood buzz," Gilbert said.
In addition, the developer is also currently looking to lease two spaces in the lower levels of the busy shopping center, which houses a Harris Teeter store and restaurants like Peter Chang.

More on Lee Highway Planning Process — "In the new year, the professional team will begin guiding the community in laying out a plan for the [Lee Highway] corridor's next 30 years. Arlington is known for extensive and very slow community engagement, and the planning process will probably take at least two more years. The push for a more progressive, inclusive, sustainable US Route 29 must be perseverant." [Greater Greater Washington]

Arlington-Based Online Clothing Store Closing Soon
Vernon Miles May 29, 2019 at 5:00pm
Anyone interested in getting their Arlington t-shirts or D.C. skyline onesies should buy now because local apparel store District Line Co. is going out of business.
The one-woman clothing company based in Cherrydale is planning to shut down by July after the rest of the inventory is sold off.
Lisa McLaughlin, the store's founder, said as the store passed its five year anniversary in April, she discovered that she'd lost her enthusiasm for the business.
"That surprised me," McLaughlin told ARLnow. "I looked at stuff coming up, like we were going to need to rebrand or rename, so it was kind of a combination of things but mainly I just realized on a business level that it's a lot of work to continue growing a brand. You have to have a passion to do that, and I just felt like I wasn't the right person to do that."
McLaughlin said one of the early mistakes was not trademarking the company's name, so she was in conflict with similarly named companies and often received reviews meant for the other companies.
"I loved doing business in Arlington," McLaughlin said. "When I started this company we made about four shirts and did one event. I didn't know if anyone was going to get this concept. But people loved their neighborhoods. The Arlington community was very supportive."
In retrospect, McLaughlin said she would have hired someone to help manage the company.
"I would set it up differently," McLaughlin said. "I'd have hired at least one person, even if it's part time, to help with day to day. I'd have spent time on a business plan and think through how will I actually use my hours on what things."
District Line Co. is currently working on selling off its inventory in a farewell sale. McLaughlin said anyone using the code "farewell25" on the website will receive a 25 percent discount on merchandise.

In Crystal City, the farmers market at 1900 Crystal Drive will kick off tomorrow (April 3). The market, open from 3-7 p.m. every Tuesday, will have over 20 regional farmers, producers, and vendors.
Mexican street food vendor Manos de Maiz and the grass-fed beef hot dog and hamburger food truck Swizzler will be among this year's new offerings.
Shoppers can also pick up "conventional and certified organic fruits and vegetables, grass-fed meats and pastured poultry and eggs, sweet and savory baked goods, handmade pastas, honey, jams, and jellies, hot sauces and pickles, and delicious prepared foods," according to FRESHFARM, the nonprofit market organizer behind both Crystal City and Ballston markets.
The farmers market at Ballston's Welburn Square is set to open on Thursday (April 5). Among other goods, shoppers can find "ice cream, sweet and savory baked goods, Virginia-made wines, cold-pressed juices, handmade soaps and lotions, wood-fired pizza, [and] hot pressed sandwiches" between 3-7 p.m. every Thursday.
New Ballston vendors this year include strudel stand Little Austria, and Number 1 Sons with their fermented pickles, krauts, and kimchis.
On the first Thursday of each month, the Ballston market will host a beer and wine garden, music, and giveaways.
Both the Crystal City and Ballston farmers markets accept SNAP and WIC program benefits and offer matching dollars for what is spent through those programs.

YARNBURY scored seven tries to romp to a 41-33 victory over derby rivals West Park on Saturday.
Make no mistake about this result, for 80 minutes Yarnbury were dominant, scoring 41 points against 12.
It was in 13 minutes extra time with the game won, Park salvaged a bonus point which should earn them another season in Yorkshire Two.
The highlight was a hat-trick for left wing Graham Maycock and a crash over from close in for his brother Ian, but the plaudits were for the whole team effort as the Horsforth side romped away with seven tries.
Yarnbury kicked off down the slope and were soon in front with space out wide left for Graham Maycock to finish off a standard move on the left as the Park defence were outflanked. Stand-off Will Marshall slotted the conversion.
From the first scrum, the home side eight were overpowered and Yarnbury were on the front foot.
Further tries followed as Park failed to stop the Yarnbury pack making yardage down the field.
Graham Maycock went in again for a second and Tom Goldthorpe picked up from a dominant scrum to make the line from five metres, shrugging off defenders and then Ian Maycock did the same after several pick and goes. Marshall converted both tries.
The referee then gave a penalty try under the posts for another seven points while in between Park managed to get their hands on the ball for two well-worked tries from their backs, well marshalled by stand-off Calum Smithson with winger Gareth Geoffreys and full-back, ex-Yarnbury Jack Brown, going in for tries, as Smithson converted one.
The half-time score of 31-12 left Park staring down the barrel of another worrying defeat.
The second half up the slope was a closer affair, but Yarnbury stretched the defence left and right with Graham Maycock going in on the left following an astute kick to the line by Marshall. And Joe Pinnick scorched up the right to extend their lead and move out of sight of their opponents. Both tries were not converted.
To West Park's credit they scored late on to take a precious bonus point when both sides were reduced to 14 men, which could help them avoid relegation.
But the dominance was with the Horsforth side in this local derby .
Yarnbury have Wetherby at home this Saturday for their final league game of the season.

We got a look today at how the hospital wants to "honor" Prouty with part one of their two-part "Honoring Prouty Garden" event. The results are more tone deaf than we could have imagined: coffee and donuts on the patio and a series of signs throughout the garden explaining exactly how it will be dismantled.
Here is the perfect example of how NOT to honor a sacred garden. If BCH was so concerned with honor, they might start with honoring their promise to Olive Higgins Prouty that the garden would remain "As long as there are patients, families and staff to enjoy it." Our hearts break for the young patients wandering the garden today who have to read these signs.
"Tom Farragher's description of the tinkling champagne flutes and silver platters was swirling in my head. While others were clustered around the food and art activities, some of us held a private vigil.
The "HONORING" event is incredibly strange. A magnificent garden with white placards of how it will be dismantled. In some cases it says where plants have already been relocated to. Under the shelter of the now golden Dawn Redwood, it was at once magical, peaceful, and deeply disturbing.
One man turned his back to the tree and wept."
1. Come to part two of this event, tomorrow afternoon from 3-7 pm in the garden, wear your pins and talk to anyone who will listen about how vitally important this garden is.
2. Write to Sandy Fenwick and Kevin Churchwell expressing your disappointment with how they've chosen to "honor" Prouty Garden.
3. Donate to our cause. Please, we need you. The garden may close very soon, but even if it does, our fight to put pressure on the hospital, our appeal and our lawsuit, all of these things will continue and we need your help urgently.
The hospital administration may believe a few signs and donuts will be enough to quell the thousands of us who are outraged over closing this sacred healing garden. Let's show them they have only fueled our fire.


Gila National Forest is 1.5 million acres of some of the most beautiful countryside on Earth. Located in southern New Mexico, Gila National Forest is home to the Gila Wilderness, the first designated Wilderness Area on Earth. The Gila is also home to the Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument, prehistoric stone dwellings left behind by the Mogollon people several hundred years ago. More recently this has been the homeland of Mangas Coloradas, Victorio and Geronimo.
The countryside within the Forest is a mix deep canyons between rugged mountains, heavy conifer and aspen forest with big meadows, hot springs, whitewater rivers, and semi-arid desert. Elevations range from a low of about 4,200' to a high of about 10,900'. 4 of the 6 major life zones are represented here. Wildlife in the woods includes black bear, mountain lion, elk, mule deer, pronghorn, bighorn sheep, wild turkey, peregrine falcon, red-tailed hawk, and bald eagle. The Forest is relatively dry but the man-made lakes and many miles of rivers and streams allow for some good fishing: Brown and Rainbow trout, Channel and Flathead Catfish, and Large and Small Mouth Bass. One fish to leave alone though, is the endangered Gila trout. There are recovery efforts underway that aim to restore populations of the Gila trout to their former glory.
There are several good hot springs on the Forest, however, there is an amoeba (Naegleria fowleri) that lives in the hot water that might get into your nasal passages and head straight for your brain. It causes a form of meningitis that is nearly always fatal. So keep your nose high and dry and don't dunk your head under the water. Another thing to be careful of is that some of this water comes out of the ground at more than 130°F, and needs to be allowed to cool before you get in it.
There are a couple of good whitewater rafting streams on the Gila National Forest but the window for rafting them is very narrow and depends mostly on snowfall from the previous winter. The San Francisco River is one continuous float from near Glenwood, NM, to Clifton, AZ. The Gila River is broken into the Upper, Middle and Lower float sections. The Upper Gila is a very fast run through a canyon filled with cottonwoods and sycamores. The Middle Gila can take several days, especially if you get out and hike around a bit. The Lower Gila is a slow, peaceful run but it's seldom floated because of barbed wire problems and irrigation diversions.
There are 2 designated Scenic Byways: the Geronimo Trail and the Trail of the Mountain Spirits. The Geronimo Trail starts at San Lorenzo in the Mimbres Valley. It winds its way through the Black Range and then down into the lowlands through Kingston and Hillsboro to the Rio Grande Valley. The Trail of the Mountain Spirits is a loop anchored in Silver City that takes you through Mimbres and Lake Roberts before crossing the Continental Divide and dropping down to the Gila Cliff Dwellings. Then it returns to Silver City via Pinos Altos.

Seven Yemeni forces were murdered and several injured or captured in clashes between security forces and Al-Houthi followers in Al Khamees district in Sa'ada governorate.
Sources attributed that the conflict erupted when Al-Houthi followers attacked army bases in Sa'ada trying to stop military campaigns towards some cities in the governorate.
Sources said that Al-Houthi followers damaged one tank and some military equipment during the clashes between both sides.
Earlier this week, an army colonel, Aidros Al-Sabri was murdered and two of his bodyguards were wounded in an armed attack in Sa'ada governorate, when Houthi followers in Al-Kabil district ambushed the colonel and his guards while they were driving to Sana'a governorate.
Last week, ten people were killed in Al-Jawf governorate in conflict between two groups who represented Al-Houthi followers and Islah party in the governorate.
The cause of the conflict between them goes back to who will take control of a mosque in Zahra district.

On Demand: Hide-and-seek horror 'Ready or Not' is a pleasant surprise
Chloe Gonzales
Here is an interesting new release available now from cable and digital providers, as well as a title currently available for streaming.
"Ready or Not": As this darkly comic film starts, Grace (Samara Weaving) and Alex (Mark O'Brien) have just been married in his family's palatial estate. He has been estranged from his filthy-rich relatives for years and makes good with everybody in time for the ceremony. On their wedding night, Grace is told that she has to gather with the extended family for game night, a customary event anytime somebody new joins the ranks. Unfortunately for Grace, she randomly selects for the group to play hide-and-seek, kicking off a no-holds-barred chase that requires any member of the family to hunt and kill the person who drew this unlucky card. If you enjoyed the home invasion thriller "You're Next" a few years ago, be sure to add this one to your queue. The screenplay is razor-sharp, and every member of the cast seems like they're having a blast. Weaving, whom you will be forgiven for mistaking for fellow Australian actress Margot Robbie, excels in a role that would be considered "the final girl" in a simpler horror film. She has to creatively dodge people who are essentially strangers to her in a massive mansion she has never visited before and work to outsmart them if she is going to survive. It's a pure delight to see Andie MacDowell show up as Alex's mother and for Adam Brody to appear as his alcoholic brother. Clever, funny and more than a little bit gory, this sophomore feature from co-directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett is a pleasant surprise in every way.

"Mike Wallace Is Here": Mike Wallace, the iconic hard-hitting reporter who worked for decades on "60 Minutes," passed away in 2012. He was one of the best-known journalists in the history of television. Starting in a time where most Americans only had a few channels to choose from and decades before partisan opinion shows began passing as news, he was known for conducting interviews that were often difficult for the guest. Director Avi Belkin wanted to pay tribute to this work in a documentary and after a few years of trying, he was given unprecedented access to the CBS News archives to begin crafting the film. After sorting through over 1,400 hours of footage, we get to see previously unseen clips combined with some truly outstanding highlights from over 50 years' worth of groundbreaking interview footage with many of the most important figures in modern American history.
