Statement against Caste-based Discrimination: Swami Tejomayananda, Chairman and Spiritual Head, Chinmaya Mission
Swami Tejomayananda, a devoted disciple of Swami Chinmayananda, has served as the Chairman and spiritual head of Chinmaya Mission worldwide since Swami Chinmayananda's mahasamadhi in1993. He is an outstanding teacher of Vedanta and an accomplished poet, author, and composer. Swami Tejomayananda joined the Vedanta course at Sandeepany Sadhnalaya, Mumbai in 1970 and was initiated into the sanyasa in 1983 by Swami Chinmayananda.
Swami Chinmayananda founded Chinmaya Mission in 1953. Not satisfied with degrees in literature and law or with other worldly aspirations, Swami Chinmayananda pursued the spiritual path in the Himalayas under the guidance of Swami Shivananda and Swami Tapovanam. He taught the logic of spirituality, while emphasizing the balance of head and heart. Selfless work, study, and meditation are the cornerstones of spiritual practice, he said. He is credited with the renaissance of spiritual and cultural values in India and with awakening the rest of the world to the ageless wisdom of Vedanta. His legacy remains in the form of books, audio and video tapes, schools, social service projects, more than 300 full-time Vedanta teachers whom he taught and inspired and more than 300 Chinmaya Mission centers around the world serving the spiritual and cultural needs of local communities.
When asked about this topic, Swami Tejomayananda, offered the words of his guru Swami Chinmayananda:
Chapter 4, Verse 13 of the Bhagavad Gita:
Chaatur varnyam mayaa srstam guna-karma-vibhagashaha
Tasya kartaaram-api maam viddhya-kartaaram-avyayam
The fourfold caste has been created by Me according to the differentiation of Guna and Karma; though I am the author thereof, know Me as non-doer and immutable.
This is a stanza that has been much misused in recent times by the upholders of the social crime styled as the caste system in India.
On the basis of temperamental distinctions, the entire mankind has been, for the purpose of spiritual study, classified into these four "castes" or Varnas. Just as, in a metropolis, on the basis of trade or professions, we divide the people as doctors, advocates, professors, traders, politicians, drivers, etc., so too, on the basis of the different textures of thoughts entertained by the intelligent creatures, the four "castes" had been labeled in the past. From the standpoint of the State, a doctor and a driver are as much important as an advocate and a mechanic. So too, for the [erfectly healthy life of a society, all "castes" should not be competitive but cooperative units, each being complementary to the others, never competing among themselves.
However, later on, in the power politics of the early middle ages in India, this communal feeling cropped up in its present ugliness, and in the general ignorance among the ordinary people at the time, the cheap pundits could parade their assumed knowledge by quoting, in bits, stanzas like this one. The decadent Hindu Brahmin found it very convenient to quote the first quarter of this stanza, and repeat "I created the four varnas" and give this tragic social vivisection a divine look having a godly sanction. They, who did this, were in fact, the greated blasphemers that Hinduism ever had to reckon with. For Vyasa, in the very same line of the couplet, as though in the very same breath, described the basis on which this classification was made, when he says, "By the differentiation of the mental quality and physical action (of the people)."
This complete definition of Varna not only removes our present misunderstanding but also provides us with some data to understand its true significance. Not by birth is man a brahmana (Brahmin); by cultivating good intentions and noble thoughts alone can we ever aspire to brahmana-hood; nor can we pose as brahmana merely because of our external physical marks, or bodily actions in the outer world. The definition insists that he alone is a brahmana whose thoughts are as much Sattvik as his actions are. A Kshatruiya is one who is Rajasik in his thoughts and actions. A Shudra is not only one whose thoughts are Tamasik, also he who lives a life of low endeavors, for satisfying his base animal passions and flesh-appetites. The scientific attitude in which this definition has been declared is clear from the exhaustive implications of the statement: "According to the differentiation of 'guna' and karma.'"

2022 postgraduate admission examination starts: 4.57m people sign up
Updated 10:47, 26-Dec-2021
By Yang Meng
China's three-day 2022 postgraduate admission examination lifts its curtain today. About 4.57 million people signed up across the nation.
In view of the current epidemic situation, all schools have strictly implemented containment and response measures: isolated examination rooms, special entrance and exit, special dining halls, temporary rest areas and free meals.
More than 3,600 test centers and 170,000 test rooms were arranged across the country, among them, 13,000 standby isolation exam rooms are prepared. Before the test, many university test centers have issued instructions and tips on epidemic prevention, specifying that examinees are required to present information on epidemic prevention such as a nucleic acid negative certificate within 48 hours, a health commitment letter and a green health code when entering.

Nearly 170,000 people applied for the exam in Shaanxi Province this year, of which about 135,000 are taking the exam in Xi'an.
What kinds of challenges are there, under such circumstances?
Up until now, Xi'an has reported 255 locally confirmed cases. Saturday was the third day of the city's lockdown.
Shaanxi Education Examination Authority issued a letter to candidates on Wednesday, stressing that this year's admission tickets are not only certificates of registration information, but also travel permits.
In order to solve the travel problems of these students, Xi'an City has made special arrangements and deployments. Xi'an's public transportation, including buses, subways, taxis and online ride-hailing, was in normal operation during the exam period, making it convenient for students to travel.
For examinees in containment areas, private cars are not allowed to travel to ensure their safety. Instead, the government will coordinate online taxi services and provide one-to-one shuttle service.
Throughout the exam period, there will be many traffic police on duty along the route. If candidates encounter difficulties on the road, they can also turn to the traffic police on the spot for help.

Candidates in non-containment areas can choose to drive. The three-day test will cover 34 test centers and 137 bus routes in Xi'an. The buses will be less than 50 percent full, and the departure time will be shortened.
There are three kinds of test rooms, one for students with a high body temperature and abnormal health code, one for candidates from containment areas, and the rest are ordinary examination rooms.
The number of applicants for the postgraduate entrance exam has been climbing year after year since 2017, when the number exceeded 2 million for the first time.
This year, 4.57 million people applied nationwide, breaking the 4 million mark for the first time.

As I am reading about 5G small cell implementation there is a nagging thought, how will cities, towns, and villages deal with multiple providers who want to install small cells on community light poles. What happens when AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint/TMobile all want to use the same light pole? Not a problem in large cities like Sacramento with 40,000 light poles, but rural towns and villages have fewer poles. City planner needs to start thinking about these issues now, not when the providers show up to start the installation. Plan now, as 5G is coming real soon to your city.
In addition to having multiple carriers on a pole, there is the problem of many modes on a single pole 3G, 4G, and 5G equipment on a single pole.
ExteNet Systems CTO Tormod Larsen said his company has added a second operator to poles in San Francisco, and that most of ExteNet's networks support multiple carriers even if the carriers may not be sharing a pole. He said it can be hard for two operators to share a pole when each one needs a large amount of equipment. Vendors have worked hard to create compact solutions, but when an operator wants to use one small cell location to support several frequency bands, the pole gets crowded.
Larsen said that in some cases carriers will end up with six to eight pieces of equipment at a single location, which can be an unpleasant surprise for city planners who thought they approved a small pole attachment.
Shock and Awe in the planning department will soon end up on the front page of the local newspapers and lead items on the TV evening news. There needs to be some thoughtful education and planning on both sides of the issue, by the cell phone providers, community facilities planners and user stakeholders. These siting issues will be an ongoing theme on this blog, as the outcome is too vital to be ignored.


As an expat thespian you're living abroad and learning your host language hopefully on a daily basis. However, you can be stereotyped as the "token foreigner" and only given roles speaking your native tongue. Being the token foreigner is great if your wanting to gain experience but to be a successful expat thespian you should be acting in a foreign language. Today we'll learn why to push for the opportunity to act in your host language.
Advantage In Constructed Languages - Dothraki in Game of Thrones, Vulcan & Klingon in Star Trek, and Elfin from The Lord of the Rings. Some of the constructed languages we hear on tv are based on actual foreign tongues while others were created from the ground up. Either way, whatever foreign language you're learning, when you know how to convey emotion within it, this gives you an advantage in the audition room and on set when dealing with constructed languages.
Advantage In Shakespeare - Yes, Old English is a foreign language. The language of Shakespeare is strange because the syntax is different, the inflection is different, and the rhythm is different. If you're studying a foreign language these challenges should sound familiar. Some of the same tactics I use for learning Korean transfer so well for learning Shakespeare and vice versa. Acting in your host language can bring you a sense of confidence and know-how when tackling the "cometh" and "goeth" of the Old English speech.
Advantage In Discipline - Nothing and I mean nothing says your a disciplined professional more than studying a foreign language. The hours that are needed to memorize words, sentences, and idioms are hours that teach you as an artist what's needed to succeed in this business. When you dedicate daily time to your host language it makes you eager to dedicate to your art. In truth, being great at one makes you better at the other.
Learning a foreign language is a great opportunity for today's up and coming artist. Yes, there are days it will drive you mad but nothing worth fighting for is ever easy. So take the time as a young or experienced artist to learn that host language and grow as an Expat Thespian.
Did you enjoy this post? Please leave a comment below. I would love to hear from you on advantages you think I've missed.


When a young person has a dual diagnosis of chemical dependency and a bipolar disorder, most doctors choose to treat both conditions at once. This can be difficult unless the patient is in a hospital or other residential situation, where presumably he will not have access to drugs or alcohol. Doctors must also be careful about possible conflicts between medications for bipolar symptoms and medications used for other purposes.
Drug and alcohol withdrawal can be a painful process. Several neural and hormonal systems are affected by substance abuse, and when it ends they are thrown into confusion. Effects can include noradrenergic hyperactivity, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-benzodiazepine receptor alteration, elevated hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, and changes in the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) glutamate receptors. The patient's blood pressure may soar or become unstable, she may sweat profusely or develop tremors. Severe nausea and physical pain is also commonplace.
For years, inpatient detox programs have prescribed the benzodiazepine tranquilizers as a way to blunt these difficulties. Unfortunately, these medications are also addictive — and may encourage patients to simply trade one addiction for another. They are still widely used to treat withdrawal from methamphetamine and cocaine, however, simply because there are few other medical options.
Methadone treatment is another option for heroin addicts. It involves swapping an illegal addiction for a legal one, which is controversial. However, methadone treatment has been shown to help keep drug addicts away from criminal behavior, and to help them become more productive members of society. When combined with counseling and other strategies, it may be a good first step on the road to actual detox. It certainly can improve the patient's health in many ways, as methadone is administered in a clinic, comes in a reliable dose to eliminate the risk of overdose, and is drunk rather than injected. It is the treatment of choice for pregnant addicts.
Cold turkey detox is always an option — and for some people, it works best despite the temporary discomfort. However, today's addiction specialists do have pharmacological tools at their disposal that can ease the pain and suffering of addicts in detox, and help prevent relapses. Intensive rehabilitation centers for people addicted to heroin and other opiates can use a one-day detox method that involves completely sedating the patient and administering ReVia or another opiate blocker intravenously. Follow-up care consists of continued use of oral opiate blockers and counseling. Some programs are also experimenting with implanted ReVia. Few teenagers can gain admission to these programs.
Some intensive detox programs claim a 75 to 80 percent success rate, although this cannot be confirmed through actual scientific research. The cost of such treatment can cost more than $1,000/day, and once your insurance runs out, the treatment facility will terminate your treatment and refer you to outpatient treatment for additional help.
Currently there are no cocaine or methamphetamine antagonists available for those who are addicted to these drugs (which are, unfortunately, the drugs of choice for many people with bipolar disorders, probably because of their paradoxically–and temporary–calming effects on some BP individuals). Several potential cocaine antagonists are currently under development, but so far there have been many roadblocks in this research. Cocaine works by preventing certain nerve cells from accumulating the neurotransmitter dopamine, making dopamine widely available to the brain and causing a euphoric high. Blocking dopamine entirely produces many ill effects on the body, however.
Heavy methamphetamine and cocaine abusers often experience the symptoms of psychosis. Neuroleptics are used to address these symptoms in some addiction treatment centers.
Supplementing with vitamin C, which can counteract the effects of prescription stimulants, may also help recovering methamphetamine addicts.
The tricyclic antidepressants, SSRIs, and BuSpar have shown some promise in helping recovering alcoholics stay sober. People with a bipolar disorder and substance dependency may find that recovery is easier if they use an antidepressant in addition to their regular mood stabilizer. Some doctors use clonidine or Tenex during drug or alcohol withdrawal.
For obvious reasons, young people with drug and alcohol addiction should not be given unfettered access to these or any other prescription medications. Doses should be given individually, and drugs should be securely stored. Counseling support, including 12-step programs, can be helpful in preventing the development of prescription drug abuse in recovering addicts.

Quackery promoter, Dr. Mehmet Oz, is running for the U.S. Senate
Published Wednesday 01 December 2021
Dr. Mehmet Oz is one of the most influential promoters of outright quackery. I once (many years ago) met him at a meeting where we both were lecturing. My impression was that he does not believe a single word he speaks. Oz later became a TV star and had ample occasion to confirm my suspicion.
Oz's wife, Lisa, is a Reiki master and has spoken widely of her insights into energy and health. Mehmet Oz appeared as a health expert on The Oprah Winfrey Show. In 2009, Winfrey offered to produce a syndicated series. The Dr. Oz Show debuted in September 2009 and became the most successful promotion of charlatanery in the US. During a Senate hearing on consumer protection in 2014, Senator Claire McCaskill stated that "the scientific community is almost monolithic against you" for airing segments on weight loss products that are later cited in advertisements, concluding that Oz plays a role, intentional or not, in perpetuating these scams, and that she is "concerned that you are melding medical advice, news, and entertainment in a way that harms consumers." This judgement was supported by a 2014 analysis published in the BMJ; here is the abstract:
Objective To determine the quality of health recommendations and claims made on popular medical talk shows.
Design Prospective observational study.
Setting Mainstream television media.
Sources Internationally syndicated medical television talk shows that air daily (The Dr Oz Show and The Doctors).
Interventions Investigators randomly selected 40 episodes of each of The Dr Oz Show and The Doctors from early 2013 and identified and evaluated all recommendations made on each program. A group of experienced evidence reviewers independently searched for, and evaluated as a team, evidence to support 80 randomly selected recommendations from each show.
Main outcomes measures Percentage of recommendations that are supported by evidence as determined by a team of experienced evidence reviewers. Secondary outcomes included topics discussed, the number of recommendations made on the shows, and the types and details of recommendations that were made.
Results We could find at least a case study or better evidence to support 54% (95% confidence interval 47% to 62%) of the 160 recommendations (80 from each show). For recommendations in The Dr Oz Show, evidence supported 46%, contradicted 15%, and was not found for 39%. For recommendations in The Doctors, evidence supported 63%, contradicted 14%, and was not found for 24%. Believable or somewhat believable evidence supported 33% of the recommendations on The Dr Oz Show and 53% on The Doctors. On average, The Dr Oz Show had 12 recommendations per episode and The Doctors 11. The most common recommendation category on The Dr Oz Show was dietary advice (39%) and on The Doctors was to consult a healthcare provider (18%). A specific benefit was described for 43% and 41% of the recommendations made on the shows respectively. The magnitude of benefit was described for 17% of the recommendations on The Dr Oz Show and 11% on The Doctors. Disclosure of potential conflicts of interest accompanied 0.4% of recommendations.
Conclusions Recommendations made on medical talk shows often lack adequate information on specific benefits or the magnitude of the effects of these benefits. Approximately half of the recommendations have either no evidence or are contradicted by the best available evidence. Potential conflicts of interest are rarely addressed. The public should be skeptical about recommendations made on medical talk shows.
During the presidential campaign in 2016, Oz supported Trump and hosted him on his TV show. In 2018, Donald Trump appointed him to the President's Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition, Oz was criticized as an example of choosing "pundits over experts". Recently, Oz announced he intends to run for the U.S. Senate as a Republican.
A fellow physician commented that he has the same amount of enthusiasm for Oz's candidacy as he would with a case of dysentery, the intestinal infection that causes bloody diarrhea. Dr. Daniel Summers, MD, begged Pennsylvania not to elect Oz. "It's been obvious for years that Oz is more than happy to leverage his reputation as a cardiothoracic surgeon and medical scientist in service to his own celebrity and advancement, and isn't one to let quaint little things like facts stand in his way," he wrote. "Stroll down a checkout aisle in your local grocery store, and chances are strong you'll see his smiling face on the cover of a magazine touting some wildly unhealthy weight-loss claim. He's been promoting pseudoscience on his show for years, from obesity 'remedies' like green coffee and garcinia cambogia to hawking 'homeopathy starter kits,' so this is nothing new." Oz faced criticism for hosting a show in which he debated the utility of "reparative therapy" and "forms of therapy that are designed to turn a gay person straight," even though they've been banned by many states at the urging of the American Psychological Association.
In April 2020, Oz also spurred controversy because he said that children should be sent back into schools despite the fact that the novel coronavirus pandemic had only just begun and there were no vaccines or therapeutics yet available. "I tell you, schools are a very appetizing opportunity," he said, claiming that resuming classes "may only cost us 2 to 3 percent in terms of total mortality," according to his "reading" of medical journals. The mistake was so substantial that Oz later provided a kind of half-apology, saying that he "misspoke."
But what Dr. Summers finds worse is that Oz eagerly pushed treatments like hydroxychloroquine for COVID patients. He even went so far as to push the drug on Fox & Friends. It prompted Dr. Anthony Fauci, a virologist, to explain that the data simply wasn't clear at the time. "Although there is some suggestion [of effectiveness] with the study that was just mentioned by Dr. Oz . . . I think we've got to be careful that we don't make that majestic leap to assume that this is a knockout drug," Fauci said at the time. "We still need to do the kinds of studies that definitively prove whether any intervention, not just this one . . . is truly safe and effective."
"Medical misinformation is literally killing people, and it is unconscionable that anyone who should know better would contribute to it. And Oz most certainly should and does know better," said Dr. Summers. "It is telling that Oz would see a space for himself in the Republican primary field. The GOP is riddled with prominent figures who undermine the seriousness of the pandemic, refute the importance of getting vaccinated, and denigrate the public health officials tasked with keeping the American people as safe and healthy as possible. Voters for those people are the ones Oz sees himself capable of wooing. That is the base he will need to capture to make his candidacy a success."

Dr Oz the far right charlatan doctor and Oprah Winfrey the far left specialist in cahoots. I am so confused how these two hooked up, amazing. Popularity and money can make a person shallow, no?
Correction, I believe Oprah and Oz are medium left and right, not extreme.
I would never vote for OZ, he is fake.
shewhowatches on Wednesday 01 December 2021 at 15:11
Not sure any correction is needed. Where anyone is on the politicfal spectrum is certainly not a precise science. Oz easily falls into "extreme" by almost any measure–he had Trump on his show and totally bought the whole farce of Trump's letter from his doctor that we now know from the doctor in question that Trump wrote himself–no surprise there if you look at the pompous and increulous language used in the letter.
As to Oprah, she seems a bit more sincere but is in the end an opportunist. She grew up poor and abused so will do anything to escape all that, but I certainly hope she regrets showering fame and fortune on the most distasteful quack Oz.
Talker on Wednesday 01 December 2021 at 15:53
Oz is not the only quack she promoted. There are other quacks she promoted:
https://respectfulinsolence.com/2018/01/09/oprah-winfrey-president-anyone-remember-pseudoscience-quackery-shes-promoted/
She is not the only one that promotes quacks on TV but she is certainly one of the most famous celebrities to do so repeatedly.

Hahaha I saw this comment on FB, I wonder which one you would choose 🙂
"Least terrible option?
a) Oz on his own TV show
b) Oz in politics
c) Oz hosting Jeopardy
d) Oz playing GP in real life"

Sending children back to school "may only cost us 2 to 3 percent in terms of total mortality,"
His mistake is that mortality rates for children are actually much less than 1 percent. Meanwhile suicide rates for school age children skyrocketed. Dr Oz's assessment that they should be is school is correct.
Here is a listing of the studies on HCQ, which they assess:
"Early treatment consistently shows positive effects. Negative evaluations typically ignore treatment time, often focusing on a subset of late stage studies."

I recommend an antidote to this blogpost. Read "The Real Anthony Fauci: Bill Gates, Big Pharma, and the Global War on Democracy and Public Health." You can decide for yourself who the real frauds and purveyors of medical misinformation are..

The Emperor of Absurdia
The commonplace and everyday form the backdrop to Chris Riddell's latest solo outing, 'The Emperor of Absurdia'. Extending the intriguingly imaginative worlds established in his earlier works such as 'Horatio Happened' and 'Mr Underthebed', 'The Emperor of Absurdia' is firmly grounded amidst the familiar landscape of a child's bedroom.
Elevated to monarchical standing, the Emperor of Abusrdia awakes from a most extraordinary dream to be ably assisted in the act of dressing by a wardrobe monster, alas however, it becomes apparent his scarf is missing, a scarf hunt is embarked upon, the fruits of which are the finding of his snuggly scarf in the nest of the pointy bird.
During lunch, the Emperor's egg hatches into a dragon that flies off. Ensnared within the excitement, the Emperor now embarks upon a dragon hunt. After riding his trusty tricycle through the flower beds, the umbrella trees, the pillow hills and over the bouncy mountains, the Emperor is on the verge of giving up when he spots a series of footprints leading to a deep dark cave, the contents of which lead to an Emperor hunt!
There is a wonderful sense of absurd symmetry as the Emperor is chased back across the bouncy mountains, through the pillow hills, under the umbrella trees and towards the flower beds. Saved by the pointy bird who captures the Emperor's snuggly scarf in his beak, the Emperor makes a bid for freedom, tumbling through air into the arms of the Wardrobe monster. Deciding to look for his scarf again tomorrow, the Emperor goes to sleep and has the most extraordinary dream bringing the tale neatly to its conclusion but also back to its beginning.
Much pleasure is to be had looking at the bedroom and determining those objects which branch off into the surreal to form the dreamlike land of Absurdia. Observant readers will discern the details of the endpapers as they spring from the apparently sombre and sobre to the delightfully lively and diverse. From beginning to end – and back again! – this is a picture book that will enthrall, enrapture and enrich with its enchanting depiction of the imaginative worlds of early childhood.

Q: inherit an immutable copy property as mutable retain I am having the following code:
@interface Room : NSObject
{
@protected
    NSMutableDictionary* mCustomProperties;
}

@property (readonly, copy) NSDictionary* CustomProperties;

@end

@interface MutableRoom : Room
{
}

@property (readwrite, retain) NSMutableDictionary* CustomProperties;

@end

These properties are then implemented later by accessing mCustomProperties.
I know, that it is not allowed to redeclare the memory management attribute or the data type of a property in a subclass to differ from the ones in the base class.
However, I want to achieve the following:
- Give only readonly access to the dictionary in the immutable base class. As the member is a NSMutableDictionary, just returning it as a retained instance of NSDictionary would mean, that it simple cast would make it mutable again, even unintended, when the user of the property stores the access variable somewhere as an NSObject instance and then recovers the original type of it back later. Therefor I want to return the mutable dictionary by immutable copy in the readonly property.
- Give full readwrite access to the dictionary in the mutable sub class. As you should not only be able to store another dictionary there, but also to just change the content of the existing one, I would like the property in the subclass not only to be readwrite, but also to be retained, instead of copied, so that the original values will be accessed, and to access it as an NSMutableDictionary, not as a NSDictionary, so that one can add, remove or change entries of the dictionary through the property.
Is there any more elegant way than suppressing the warning or using two differently named properties?

A: when declaring a mutable/immutable pair of a class cluster, i often find it simplest to not inherit from another, but to use an inner class for the implementation, like so:
// Room.h
@interface Room : NSObject

Allow me to start with the obligatory apology for not writing more frequently. I'm busy.
This story in the NewsLeader caught my attention, though, because it demonstrates a failure at many levels. That we would cut down mature trees in our City to make it easier for a few cars to move a few hundred metres to the next traffic constriction is an example of a planning process gone wrong.
The City has recently outlined its consultations on an Urban Forest Management Strategy. At the open house last month at Century House (about 300m from where these trees are slated to be removed), staff and consultants talked about how important a healthy tree inventory is to our City – providing shade to reduce energy costs, evapotranspiration to reduce utility costs and improve rainwater quality, noise baffling, light pollution reduction, critical habitat for pollinators and songbirds, etc. etc. At the same time, the city's tree inventory is being reduced at a faster rate than population growth, and although our current inventory (as percentage of land cover) is similar o other cities in the region, it lags far behind the North American average and the level identified as desirable to receive all of the benefits that healthy urban forest can provide.
We don't yet know where the Urban Forest Management Strategy is going yet, but the goal is pretty clear: lets stop cutting down mature tress for bad reasons, so when we have to cut them down for good reasons, it has less impact, and we don't have to spend so much replacing them.
The story above is an example of cutting down mature trees for bad reasons.
The first-level reason for removing the trees sounds OK – they want to make a bus stop more accessible and functional. I'm all for it, accessibility at that stop is really important, as it is commonly used by seniors to access the nearby Century House and the Massey Theatre, and by students accessing the High School. Constant improvement of our sustainable transportation network is something I have been calling for in my many years on the Advisory Committee for transit, Bicycles and Pedestrians.
However, improving the accessibility of this stop does not require the removal of any trees. What does require the removal of the trees is protecting two parking spots and creating the illusion of "getting cars moving".
The current bus stop is at a spot on 8th Avenue where there is only one east-bound lane, the rest of the road width being eaten up by a westbound lane and a south-turning left turn bay.
grass to add more asphalt. Google Maps image.
One allegation made by the City's transportation department is that the bus here "holds cars up" and creates congestion, so they want to remove the greenspace of the boulevard to make a "bus stop lane". This is absurd for two reasons. That bus stop is currently used by the 128 and the C4. The 128 is normally a 30-minute service, but bumps up to 20 minutes during rush hour. The C4 is a half-hour service. That means up to 5 times an hour, for 20 seconds, a bus blocks the lane. A lane that has a stop light that is red for half of every minute 24 hours a day, all day. Today I dropped by the site and noted th 128 was 300 metres east of the bus stop – stopped by the line of cars waiting to get through the light at 6th. Removing the busses completely on this route will do absolutely nothing to reduce the congestion on 8th in the afternoon rush (the only time it is congested in any meaningful way).
I need to be clear here: they don't want to remove the trees and green space to accommodate the bus, they want to do it to accommodate the cars allegedly "congested" by the bus – to get the bus out of the cars' way. As a reason to remove healthy mature trees, this argument is silly.
The suggested (and blithely discounted) option is to move the bus stop 100m to the east, where the road expands out to 2 lanes.
100m to the east, where the road expands to accommodate parking.
This Google Maps thing is pretty cool.
No-one is saying so, but it is clear that the reason this is being discounted is the need to remove two on-street parking spots. The idea that this spot being 100 m further east will "provide incentive to jaywalk" is ridiculous, as there are bus stops across the City that are located 100m from an intersection, and the City is already resistant to calls from the Students at NWSS for a mid-block crosswalk on 8th Ave to alleviate sidewalk congestion on 8th and stop jaywalking. The loss of parking spots is most likely why they can state "We don't have consensus in the building". So to reiterate: we are talking about removing greenspace and trees to accommodate occasional parking needs, not to accommodate a bus.
In summary, the thinking by the City is wrong here, and this is why we need an Urban Forest Management Strategy, and why we need to change our planning of roadspace to reflect the priorities set by the new Master Transportation Plan.
There are often good reasons to remove trees, but none can be found here. Instead, we are given a series of bad planning compromises and post-hoc rationalization that results in the removal of perfectly healthy mature trees. And all the benefits of a healthy tree canopy that were discussed in the Open House? They sound exactly like what Ms. Broad is describing she and her neighbours receive from these trees. The ones the City would not allow them to cut down two years ago.

The first phase of doorknocking is over, and phase two begins this week. More importantly, the Candidates are going to start rolling out platforms for your review. I have developed a bunch of policy notes, drawn from my personal experiences, consultation with knowledgeable people from across the City, and two months of knocking on people's doors.
If you click the "issues" tab, you will see the issues, large and small, I will be talking about during this election. These notes will continue to be added to this website with increasing detail as the campaign rolls on. In the meantime, if you have a specific question or concern, please drop me an e-mail, and I would love to have a conversation about your ideas.

Yeah, I am depressingly unproductive on this blog these days. Such is the nature of the adventure I am currently on. I simply don't have time to write when I am out knocking on doors and doing the thousand other little things one must do to run a decent campaign.
I also don't want to write about election stuff here. There are some subtle changes to the Elections Act this go-around, and Municipal Candidates have to have those "Authorized by Financial Agent" statements on all advertising materials. The definition of advertising materials in this digital age is a little fuzzy, but one interpretation is that Blogs, Facebook, and twitter could be interpreted as such if someone thinks you are using it to plead for votes. Therefore, I have a separate Campaign Website (with a bit of a Blog there), a Campaign-only Facebook page, and a Campaign-only Twitter account, all with appropriate "Authorized by…" statements. I'll do my campaigning over there.
That doesn't stop me from having opinions over here, if I only had time to write about them.
One thing I do have an opinion about is the City's Urban Forest Management Strategy. I have whinged more than once on this Blog about the lack of tree protection in our City. I am glad to see that action is being taken.
I could go on length (again) about the benefits of trees in the urban environment. instead I want to talk about the difference one tree made. A good friend of mine lives in a mid-century three-floor walk-up in Brow of the Hill. She lives in a nice south-facing third floor apartment. In the spring, The property owner decided the very healthy century-old tree on the edge of the property was a hassle, and unceremoniously had it chopped down. This decision had a huge effect on my friend's life.
The same tree that dropped leaves on the parking lot of the building also provided shade to her small, top floor apartment. Like most buildings of the era, her home has thin insulation and poor air circulation. In the summer, it sometimes got warm, but the tree kept it tolerable. This year, without the tree, it was stifling for much of the summer. She had to make the hard decision to move, buy an air conditioner, or suffer. With her very modest income, the suffer seemed her only real option, although she is resourceful, and is hoping to get her landlord to paint the roof a reflective colour. If she knew ahead of time, she might have been able to make the case for the tree.
This is just one story, but demonstrates that trees are not just nice things to have around, they have a real effect on the livability of our community. New Westminster currently lags behind most Lower Municipalities on tree protection, and this Urban Forest Strategy aims to bring us into more of a leadership position.
Although the number of trees per square kilometre in New Westminster is pretty close to our regional neighbours, we lag behind the North American average, and even further behind the optimum level to receive all of the benefits of a healthy urban tree canopy. Unfortunately, we are still currently losing trees faster than they are replaced, and the rate of loss has not slowed even as growth of density in the City has slowed. Just in the last 10 years, there has been a 15% decline in the urban forest canopy in New Westminster. It is time for action.
What I am most excited about? The City is taking a more comprehensive approach than just slapping a Tree Bylaw in place. A Bylaw may be part of the eventual strategy, but a well-designed Bylaw needs to be supported by a larger strategy if it is going to protect your right to enjoy your residential property, not be costly to implement, and assure that our Urban Forest stops shrinking and starts growing again.
It is early times for the strategy, but there will be an open house this Wednesday at Century house in the (apropos) Arbutus Room. It is early times yet, but if you care about trees and the livability of our City, you should show up for an hour and provide your comments and support.
There are lots of nice trees nearby Century house you can hug on your way in.

A total of 1,077 men were reported dead at the time, but recent research uncovered 323 more who died.
John Brockhurst, from Hornchurch, was one of them. He rang regularly at St Andrew's Church in Hornchurch.
At the start of the war John was in the territorials before going to Gallipoli where the allies were trying to capture Constantinople and knock Turkey out of the war.
He was invalided home before being sent to Palestine following his recovery from dysentry.
He was killed in action there on November 2, 1917, at the age of 27.
John is part of a proud bell ringing tradition at St Andrew's where there are 10 bells with the heaviest weighing in at just under a ton. All ten rang for three hours to mark Prince Harry's marriage to Meghan Markle in May.
But if three hours of bell ringing sounds exhausting, spare a thought for Bertram Prewett.
At St Andrew's he rang a record peal of 15,264 changes – the order bells are rung in – of the bell ringing pattern known as Bristol surprise major. It lasted for a staggering nine hours.
St Andrew's bell ringer, Clive Stephenson, said: "It was a massive achievement of its time. It means an awful lot to us that he did it at St Andrew's. It was really quite significant.
But like so many of his generation, he died relatively young – killed in action on August 31, 1918, aged 39.
His memory has been kept alive after an appeal raised £195,000 to install eight change ringing bells in the tower of St George's Memorial Church in Belgium, built to commemorate the 500,000 British and Commonwealth soldiers who died fighting at Ypres.
Change bell ringing is when bells are hung on a wheel attached to a rope allowing them to be swung 360 degrees, stopped, and then rung again.
The room at St George's where ringers pull the ropes to ring the bells is named the Bertram Prewett Ringing Room in honour of the bell ringer from Bushey.
No doubt Bertram's example will be in the minds of St Andrew's band of bell ringers, the youngest of whom is 14 and the oldest 87, as they prepare to mark 100 years since the end of the war.
On Sunday just before 11am leather caps, or muffles, will be placed over half of each bell's clapper so each is heard clearly for one ring then muffled for the next – a mark of respect followed every Remembrance Sunday.
From 12.30pm the muffles will be removed and the full sound of the bells will ring out to celebrate the peace that followed the truce.
And it will be at this point that seven new bell ringers, who answered a call to join the national Ringing Remembers appeal, will take to the ropes following weeks of rehearsals.
The new recruits are part of a 1,400 strong band ringing across the country on November 11 in honour of the 1,400 bell ringers who died in the war.

How many Bach prelude are there?
Nov 13, 2020 Alissa BradleyQuestions
Is Prelude in C hard?
When did Bach write the Six Little Preludes?
Why did Bach write the C major prelude?
48 Preludes
These works are also collectively known as The Well-Tempered Clavier, which as the name suggests is a collection of solo keyboard music composed by Johann Sebastian Bach. The 48 Preludes and Fugues are regarded as the most influential works which ultimately revolutionised western classical music.
Yup, it's not hard to play the notes but it's hard to play it legato and evenly. I love Jarrett's version. Phrasing and dynamic directions can be tricky because of the continuous patterns of notes. The prelude and its accompanied fugue is actually one of the AMEB (australian music exam board) grade 8 exam pieces.
How hard is Prelude in C Major?
Known as a "beginner's piece", and indeed quite easy to learn, I think it is actually quite hard to play well (at least for one fairly new to playing piano).
Why is it called Well Tempered Clavier?
Johann Sebastian Bach. The compound adjective well-tempered in the title refers to the employment of a tuning system that would work equally well in all keys—a circumstance rare in Bach's day.
The Six Little Preludes ( BWV 933-938) are a group of preludes written by the composer Johann Sebastian Bach for harpsichord. They are all short, pedagogical efforts written in or around the period of 1717–1720, but they were not published until 1802.
Bach sporadically produced the pieces around 1717–1720, primarily for instructive purposes, and were not intended for public performance, rather as an aid to his son's compositional development. The C major prelude consists of two brief sections, repeated as a pair, followed by a variation on each section, again repeated as a pair.
Who played the Prelude and Fugue No 6 in D minor?
Prelude and Fugue No. 6 in D minor, BWV 851, from the Well-tempered Clavier by Johann Sebastian Bach. Played by Friedrich Gulda; recorded 1972, MPS-Tonstudio, Villingen, Germany.
What are the features of the Little Prelude in D minor?
The Little Prelude in D minor contains features that are similar to a two-part invention. This work generally lasts about a minute and a half. This Prelude has features associated with a trio sonata: it contains two upper lines and a roving bass part underpinning them.

The Schmooze
Lauren Bacall Mementoes Sell for $3.6M
By Reuters April 2, 2015
Art and memorabilia that belonged to the late Hollywood film star Lauren Bacall sold for $3.6 million during a two-day sale, according to Bonhams auction house.
Proceeds from the marathon auction which ended late Wednesday and two bronze sculptures by British artist Henry Moore that were sold earlier at an Impressionist and Modern Art sale brought the total for the collection to $5 million.
Bacall, the husky voiced actress who was married to and appeared with Humphrey Bogart in films such as "The Big Sleep" and "Key Largo," died in August in New York at the age of 89.
More than 1,500 bidders from 34 countries took part in the auction which included jewelry and furniture from her New York apartment.
"Bacall's legacy will live on in the homes of her countless admirers," Jon King, director and vice president of Bonham's who organized the sale.
A John James Audubon 1846 hand-colored engraving fetched $173,000, nearly three times its pre-sale estimate, and two paintings by Albert York, "Landscape with Tree" and "A Country Fence," sold for $161,000, a record for the artist.
Other highlights included Humphrey Bogart's Hartmann 'Turn Table' steamer trunk that fetched $47,500 and a granite and wrought iron games table that brought in $26,250.
Bacall appeared in more than 30 films and also starred on Broadway. She won Tonys for the musicals "Applause" in 1970 and for "Woman of the Year" in 1981. She was also awarded an honorary Oscar in 2009.

BEIJING ― Yahoo Inc. is closing its Beijing research and development center and leaving China in a new cost-cutting move.
The company said Thursday the Beijing office's functions would be consolidated in other locations. It gave no details of how many people would lose their jobs but said they would be "treated with respect and fairness."
The Sunnyvale, California-based company has cut jobs elsewhere in a sweeping corporate overhaul as it tries to catch up with Internet users who have shifted to using smartphones and tablets instead of laptop and desktop computers.
Yahoo turned over control of its China operations to its partner Alibaba Group in 2005 as part of a corporate tie-up. Yahoo stopped offering services in China in 2013.
Yahoo's profit for the quarter ending in December fell 52 percent from a year earlier while revenue dipped 1 percent.

Alexandre Garbell (dit Sacha) est un peintre français de l'École de Paris né à Riga en Lettonie (alors dans l'Empire russe) le  et mort à Paris   le .

, écrit Guy Weelen. Une part de son œuvre est ainsi située à Mers-les-Bains dont il était un habitué.

Biographie

Alexandre Garbell commence à manier les pinceaux dès l'âge de treize ans. Après avoir suivi des études à Moscou, après également s'être installé avec les siens en Allemagne et avoir suivi les cours de l'Académie d'Heidelberg, il arrive à Paris en 1923 et devient élève à l'Académie Ranson où il étudie avec Roger Bissière, y ayant pour co-disciples et amis Jean Le Moal, Alfred Manessier et Francis Gruber. Il fait donc partie de ce que l'on a appelé l'École de Paris. Mais très rapidement il travaille seul et fait preuve, à l'égard de tous les groupes et de toutes les écoles, d'une indépendance et d'une liberté qui ne se sont jamais démenties par la suite.

À partir de 1928, l'œuvre de Garbell est régulièrement présentée à Paris, dans des expositions soit personnelles soit collectives.

Pendant l'occupation, comme d'autres peintres, (Marcelle Rivier, André Lanskoy), Garbell se réfugie à Mirmande où André Lhote a ouvert une académie libre. De jeunes artistes viennent y chercher émulation auprès de leurs pairs et conseils auprès de leurs aînés. Ainsi en est-il de Gustav Bolin ou Pierre Palué. Compétent et généreux, Garbell influence une nouvelle génération d'artistes et notamment ceux de la jeune école lyonnaise (dont André Cottavoz sera un des plus représentatifs).

En 1946, Alexandre Garbell est de retour à Paris où il se lie d'amitié avec Paul Ackerman et expose dans de grandes galeries (Delpierre, galerie du Siècle, Pierre Loeb…)

À partir de 1960, il passe les frontières et expose à l'étranger : au Danemark, en Suisse, en Angleterre, en Italie et aux États-Unis. À l'occasion de l'exposition organisée par la « Fine arts associates gallery » à New York en 1956, un film télévisé est tourné aux États-Unis sur le thème Le peintre et son œuvre.

Garbell participe régulièrement aux salons importants en France et à l'étranger : « Salon des surindépendants », « Salon de mai » en 1950 puis de 1954 à 1961 ; « Salon des réalités nouvelles » en 1961 ; « Salon Comparaisons » en 1956, 1957, 1962 et 1963 ; également « Salon des Tuileries » et « Salon d'automne» ; « Terres latines », « Grands et jeunes d'aujourd'hui ». Le principe de cette dernière exposition est qu'un « grand » y parraine de « jeunes » peintres : en 1963, il y est « grand », Georges Feher, Gustav Bolin, Albert Bitran, Orlando Pelayo, Eduardo Arroyo et André Cottavoz étant ses « jeunes ».

Avant de disparaître, il pourra voir l'hommage que lui rend la galerie Framond à Paris en 1970 sous le titre Garbell, quinze ans de peinture.

Il meurt en décembre 1970 et repose au cimetière de Montry (Seine-et-Marne). Ses traits nous restent fixés grâce à une suite de portraits dus à la photographe Denise Colomb, sœur de Pierre Loeb.

Garbell a été, à un moment donné de sa carrière, tenté par l'abstraction. Mais assez vite, comme avec la plage et la falaise de Mers-les-Bains qu'il a fréquentés assidûment et qu'il a beaucoup dessinés et peints, il a dépassé l'opposition entre abstraction et figuration pour rendre compte du réel en termes de formes, de couleurs, de rythmes. La figuration risque de s'arrêter à l'anecdotique, Garbell recherche l'essentiel ; il ne représente pas, il traduit, il transpose.  a confirmé le quotidien Le Monde en annonçant sa disparition.

Le sculpteur Camille Garbell est le fils d'Alexandre Garbell.

Lots to update but no time to do it! We went on our backpacking trip to Yosemite over the 4th of July weekend — 30+ miles over 4 days, including Half Dome (though I only made it to the cables) and Cloud's Rest in the same day — and now have a slight overuse Achille's tendonitis I'm trying to heal from.
I have to point out I don't like heights. I REALLY don't like heights. I was nearly in tears descending the 'Golden Staircase' by Half Dome, and after summiting Cloud's Rest all I could do was sit at the top (the very very small top) and hug the rock in the middle.
More on the trip later.
Oh, and tri training has been totally out the window, though I did make it to the gym Thursday a.m. for stretching, some lifting, and some core stuff. Planning on the gym again today for more of the same. My ankle/tendon still feels off but it's getting better, so hopefully I'll be riding and running next week.
HOWEVER….in tri news….I did cut almost 20 min off last year's time at the Breath of Life sprint. Woo hoo!
