Hopi Master White Bear: Teachings about the Star Kachinam. Unpublished text…
March 21, 2018 November 11, 2018 SCENIC Sasquatch
Note: White Bear (Oswald Fredericks) was one of those rare Humans I met that I can call without hesitation a master. When talking with him at times, I could see a bright white light emanating from his aura, even in broad daylight. He was the last Human representative to sit in Council with Star Elders. They were landing their ships behind his house on Prophecy Rock to pick him up and take him for flights around the ancient sacred sites of the Americas, where he was documenting and compiling petroglyphs and inscriptions, to explain them at the light of Hopi knowledge, which they received from Kachinam from the stars. In his front yard, he had a collection of old parts of space ships; he told me I would find some in a site I visited, and he was right. He was one of the main sources for the famous Book of the Hopi, by Frank Waters. I found the following article online a few years ago, as the French version of the transcript of an interview taken with White Bear. I translated it to English on 03/20/18. As far as I know, it has never been released in English yet. I know it to be authentic as I recognize many details I heard first hand from White Bear. May these important teachings help our awakening…
White Bear speaks:
Now' it is time to talk about our people' to tell you who we are and why we are here in hope that someone' someday' will understand us. Even if it is me who talks here' it is about the knowledge of the Hopi that you will learn. From the long' long history of the Hopi emerges a warning for you. You will understand later what I mean when I will tell my story. It is the reason why I am talking now. This involves us all. Maybe this warning will not come too late.
While telling the story' you must know that time did not have the same importance. Today' time seems important' time makes everything complicated' time becomes an obstacle. But' in the history of my people' time was not very important' nor for Creator Himself. What truly counts is the beauty that we create in our lives' the way we accomplish our duties and responsibility towards Creator. Material things of this world are of little importance for the Hopi' as you will notice when you visit me and you will see how we live our story.
When you will be with my people' in our villages' you will start to understand that these old women and men' who make the actual story' will never forget the ancient history that is written in their hearts. And as the story was revealed to me' I will now try to transmit it as faithfully as possible
We can summarize all this in two statements. The Divine Creator told us : "If you are my children, you must not use your knowledge to submit' destroy' kill or make a wrong use of what I have given you. If you do not respect this law' you are not my children."
Our people had knowledge comparable to that of Atlantis' but they use it only for useful and good purposes. As I have already told you' we had studied the secrets of nature' the power of Creator in the living things.
My people did not defend itself when we were attacked. And they were right!
If this seems strange to you' look at what the Hopi do today. The government of the United States gave us a reservation. Do you realize? Then they came to cut off some pieces. Our country' they reduced it more and more. But we did not defend ourselves by force. Each time the government does this' we say: "it is not right"' as we have asked Creator. We know that we will not be destroyed' it is them who will be first.
Kachinam (plural for Kachina or Katsina) can be visible' but sometimes they are also invisible. They come from space. They do not come from our solar system' but from very distant planets. It would take our astronauts several generations to reach there. The Hopi name for those planets is Tóónátakha' it means that they are close from one another' not in the physical sense but in the spiritual sense' because all their inhabitants have the same responsibility' they all work closely together. This is why we can translate the word by "Confederation of planets". Since we know that they are twelve planets' we could say as well "Confederation of twelve planets".
Kachinam can move very rapidly and' while I pronounce this sentence' they can travel over long distances. They need only a few seconds; their ships fly with a magnetic force' even when they orbit the Earth.
Kachinam come from a distant planet' and when they leave us they return there. The men who perform the dances represent wise beings of different ranks that visited us long ago.
There are three kinds of Kachinam. The first take care of the continuity of life (survival). In our dances' they appear in the middle of winter when' in nature' all life rests. They offer us the guarantee that life will return and continue. And as reincarnation is part of the continuity of life' this means that we will be born again and that we will have the possibility to improve.
The second group is made of the teachers. We learn from them who we are and where we are' what are the influences that we can endure and what we must do.
The third group represents the keepers of the law. We can also call them "those who warn us' who awaken us"' as they have been talking to us for a long time' but a day will come when they will not warn us anymore' but instead they will punish us for all the evil that we will have done.
Children were born following mystical relations between our women and the Kachinam. I will tell you later the legends that explain these facts. Our people could touch the Kachinam' so there was a physical proximity between the Kachinam and human beings. But' even if this looks strange' there was never sexual intercourse. Children were conceived in a mystical way. Such children' when they grew up' had a great knowledge and a great wisdom' and even sometimes supernatural powers that they had received from their spiritual father. They were always magnificient persons' powerful' who were always ready to help and never to destroy.
Kachinam are physical beings' that is why they need ships to travel in our skies and to return on their planets. The space ships have different sizes and names. One of them is Patoowa' "the object that can fly above water". Pahu means water in our language' and Toowata is an object with a curved surface. Because of this shape' we also call it "flying shield".
I will tell you what it look like. If we cut a gourd in two' we get a shape that has the aspect of a cup or a saucer; if we assemble two of those parts' we obtain the shape of a ship that was used long ago to reach those planets. When we are sitting inside' we can move in all directions without falling' no matter what is the speed. As it has this shape' we call it Inioma.
Among the Hopi' we know that some of us have flewn in those ships and that those ships were as well used in other countries' since the Atlanteans came to our lands in those ships.
Near Oraibi there is a petroglyph representing a woman in a flying shield. The arrow is a symbol of great speed. The woman wears the hairdo of a married woman.
The two halves are held together by "reins". The one who drive the ship must activate these "reins". When he moves it to the right' the ship rises' when he turns it to the left' it goes down. The ship has no engine like airplanes and they need no fuel. It flies in a magnetic field. We must only know the right altitude. If we want to go east' we choose a certain altitude' if we want to go north' we choose another altitude' etc. It only takes to rise to the height corresponding to the chosen direction and the ship will fly in the desired current. In this way' we can reach anywhere within our atmosphere' but we can also leave Earth. It is very simple !
We say also that the Earth has shifted several times' I mean that the north pole was at the place where the south pole actually is and vice versa. Today' poles are inverted, the true north pole is found at the place of the south pole and the true south pole is in the north. But' in the Fifth World' that will change again' and the poles will be in their true locations. Each time' the Earth shifted completely from north to south and not only half way' otherwise there would be too much harm and it was not the intention of Creator. During Topka' the Second World' the Earth shifted only half way and everything froze.
This is now our new continent' Tóówákachi' the Fourth World. The word means "the beautiful land for all people". We know that we are the first people who have come here and that Creator promised us that we would be alone here' among ourselves' for a long time. With this Fourth World' we are at the middle of the duration of Earth and Humanity. We are in the fourth in a total of seven worlds that we must go through. Three are behind us' three are ahead of us. This fact is expressed in our sacred ceremonies as well as in the ruins found in Mexico and in South America. As far as time goes' we have already passed the middle of the seven worlds' as the duration of each world to come is shorter.
All of this happened a long time ago' as the arrival of those who came on flying shields happened 80,000 years ago. We have a very simple way to speak of long periods of time: a Soomody means 1,000 years' Soo means star and you know how many stars there is! 4,000 years are only four Soomody and there are 80 Soomody since the migration started.
Those who arrived could not settle in this region which was not vast. In this region' we had to live together. This shows why my people is sure that we were the first ones' the only ones on this continent. There are tribes in America that came much later' because the ice had melted in the north… Long before all this happened' Creator had shown the planets to us. He made us this wonderful offer after having created us as living creatures. But we have failed' we have not followed the instructions He had given us' we have not respected His law. That is why we first had this little piece of land so we could learn to control our feelings and live together.
When we left the ruins of the destroyed city' some Kachinam were assigned to boys and girls that were not yet born. These children were chosen to transmit to true memory of the events of the past. This happened very often in our history. The child receives the knowledge as he/she is in the womb of his/her mother. Sometimes' it is the mother that receives it, so that all her thoughts can penetrate the child before its birth. For this reason' the child does not need anymore to learn later' it only takes to remind him/her that knowledge that he/she has received before birth. All that I am telling you did not happen like this in a short time. Many thousands of years have passed since the beginning of the migration. But the teachings of the Kachinam allowed us to maintain our traditions and our memory. Oftentimes' at the speed of a lightning' the Kachinam would go visit Creator to inform Him of our progress on Earth. And' as I have already said' some of us had reached a high level and had become close to the Kachinam' so the latter were allowing them to accompany them in their flights.
When we left the ruins of the destroyed city' the Kachinam erased the memories of all those who stayed' and that of the future generations. Thus' all those who' later' lived near the ruins' did not have the slightest idea of what had happened before. Of those that left' only the Hopi knew the truth.
In this ceremony' we show a group accompanied by four Kachinam: the first walks in front' the following ones on each side' and the last one walks behind the group. The Kachinam who walk in front and behind are high ranking Kachinam' deities called Sólawúchim. Só means "stars"' la means "containing something" and wuchim signifies "to be elected". The name can thus be translated as "the stars that hold the secret knowledge".
The two Sólawúchim hold in their left hand a bow and carry on their shoulder a quiver of jaguar skin to show their power and their force. The blackline across their face' hiding the eyes' distinguish them as the keepers of secret knowledge of their original lands. The black and white ornaments at their neck show that they know the celestial bodies. The blue paint on their mocassins signifies that they are initiates who come from very far' beyond the stars. The one wearing the jaguar skin is the chief' the one wearing a horn on the right side of the head walks behind the group and he is the second chief. The diamond patterns of blue color on the horn show the electric or electromagnetic force which unifies their original planets.
The Kachinam walking on the side are of an inferior rank. It is important that the deities and the Kachinam are part of the Bow clan' because this shows that the Bow clan has known the same events as the Bear clan. The Sun clan and the Coyote clan also have the same traditions' but only the Bow clan' whose tradition is the most complete' celebrates the ceremony of "the ancient ones who came from heaven".
The conch instruments also emitted magnetic waves. They talked very seriously of the waves and the sound of the conch. When the clan was resting at night' the Kachinam would rise like stars above the jungle and their lights protected people from wild beasts. I would like to add that the bows of the Kachinam served only for protection' the Hopi did not kill animals to feed themselves. In Táotoóma' the Kachinam had asked them to reduce their meat consumption and to rather feed on plants' as this would increase their level of spiritual knowledge. The Kachinam stayed with the people of the Bow clan until they arrived in Palátquapi.
When the clans were still migrating in today's South America and Mexico' long before the foundation of Oraibi by the Bear clan' many wanted to gather again. They remembered the time of the disaster in South America and the destruction of their first city and they wanted' again' to live in harmony with Great Spirit Táioowa. They had not obeyed Him and had spread out in all directions. Under the influence of the Kachinam' they were now determined to return on the righteous path. Those of the chiefs who still could use their third eye' gathered the clans to establish a cultural center with a high level of spiritual knowledge. Each Hopi remembers that place. I believe that no Hopi could ever forget that city that was built and that had the name Palátquapi. In our language' this means "red city". According to my grand-mother' Palátquapi was the first big city in the middle part of the western hemisphere. The groups that did not come in this center got more and more lost and started to venerate the Sun as their god and kept doing it. I would like to add further that the Bear clan had' since a long time' travel across that country to reach North America to claim this country for us.
We have found the place where was that big city. It is now called Palenque and it is in the Mexican State of Chiapas. It was a large community. It was not built by slaves' but rather' it was not difficult. The foundation of those works was based in the spiritual domain. Everything that was done in this community was done for spiritual purposes. People had experienced what had happened in their first city and wanted to prove to themselves that' this time' they would do better. It was like if they wanted to redeem themselves. It was in this way that this city was built and that people of very high levels gathered there. Furthermore' the relations and the possibilities of alliances with the Kachinam were renewed.
In the Ninth World' there will be no more differences of races. You could take my skin color and me yours' we do not know' but there will be no more different races. We must work with Spirit and everything will be perfect. What the Christians talk about – the angels and all those people who play harp – it will not exist. Our Creator is not lazy.
That is all' concerning the learning and teaching. The building itself' in its stepped construction' from the ground to the last level' represented for us all the growing knowledge' the ascension towards superior levels of spirit' the growing understanding of the miracles of our world. According to our tradition' a similar building existed as well in Táotoóma.
The teachings were given by the Kachinam. Creator was kept informed of our progress as He was in relation with the Kachinam by transmission of thoughts. The choice of the people who could go in that school was also decided by the Kachinam' since they were the ones who designated children before their birth for such a life of learning' of devotion and of renouncement. That is why only the Kachinam were able to designate those who could rise on a higher level and finally reach the last level of this Great School of life. Few among them reached the goal. Those who succeeded were in perfect harmony with the Divine Creator' that is why I would call them "great holy people".
All those people who consecrate all their time to important tasks' walking on a narrow path' face many dangers and temptations. But here has always been some people who reach that elevated level. Today' such a person is called Náquala' which means counselor or benefactor' and this shows their renouncement and devotion in life and their duties towards their people as a guide. Such a person does not let themsleves be led astray from their path of truth.
To all those who have reached this goal' the Kachinam granted them the favor of not being obligated to die; they could leave our Earth without being dead. This existed in the city of Táotoóma (Tiahuanaco). Those people really left us with their human bodies and departed for a planetary system that we do not know.
The Kachinam encouraged us to learn much to be able to reach the highest levels. They were always reminding us that life was ahead of us and that we must never forget what we have learned in this Great School. They told us also that one day' in the future' there will be again disasters and that we must do everything to stay close from the divine power.
During centuries' people in Palátquapi stayed on the righteous path. Everywhere harmony ruled. After a certain time' some clans started to leave to go settle further. The further the new colonies were moving, the less they had contacts with our teachers the Kachinam. The people who had reached the highest levels in our Great School were sent as delegates in these new colonies. They used their third eye to choose the young people to whom they could transmit their knowledge. But' finally' many of the colonies lost contact with our guides and left the righteous path.
The clans that left from Palátquapi built many cities. Some ruins of those cities have been found' but more will be discovered in the future' there will thus be more proofs of our tradition. The capital of the Bow clan was the great center of Tikal. They found there a sculpture of a stone head with a snake in the mouth. It is the deity Saáviki. I will tell you later a story about him.
The Snake clan and the Bow clan – the parts of these clans that had left Palátquapi – started fighting. Finally' the wars had for consequence the complete destruction of the cities. The continuous attacks against divine laws caused such a perversion and chaos in the whole region that people simply did not want to live there anymore. Everything was degraded and nobody could correctly fulfill their religious obligations. They could not do anything else than to start on a new migration. Some of these clans settled here' in Shungópovi' then in Oraibi' and finally in Hotevilla. That is why in Hotevilla' still today' each year in February happens the celebration of the Feathered Serpent.
During those terrible times in Palátquapi and in Yucatán' the Kachinam left us. It is since those times that they have not been anymore with us and all we can do is take their example. When they left, they told us: " From now on' you can count only on yourselves. "
Maybe you are asking yourself how come this disaster could fall upon Palátquapi and the Yucatán in spite of the presence of the Kachinam. I can tell you that each time' in the past' that something like that happened' it was not the plan of the Kachinam but of humans. The Kachinam have warned them' but most people wanted to conquer and make wars. They did not listen to the teachings and advice and continued to transgress the law of Creator. It is the reason for which many clans and people were destroyed. When the clans were really waging wars' the Kachinam did not get involved. They did not want to get involved because the Earth belongs to Humans. It is Humans who are responsible and decide of their own actions. What Humans have done' they did it by themselves' and they will face the consequences. But the day for justice is not here yet. Only today' in our time' Humanity is approaching the time of punishment.

Burt makes me laugh. He's awesome!
I coached the 6am session at CFZ this morning, and there were 13 in attendance, including the Kelley twins. The last part of the warmup consisted of partner shoulder massages, and as there was an odd number of people I partnered with Thomas, i.e., I massaged his shoulders. I said, "Let me know if I'm being too rough." "No, you're not being too rough at all," he replied. I think there may have been movement. Not from me, but from Thomas.
Sorry about confusing RS with Bradford press this morning, folks. Thanks for keeping me honest, Burt.
Michael Kelley and I had a rather heated exchange this afternoon of a personal nature. While I won't provide the details of our conversation, suffice it to say that I was angrier with him than I have ever been.
It's not often that I get to work out with Jeff, so I attended the 5:15pm session for no other reason than to be able to do so. Michael Kelley be damned.
It was much fun partnering with Jeff! I'm very proud of his significant improvements in both strength and fitness.
An Abmat was used for the board press. My goal was to bench press 160#. Given my shoulder issues, I thought this would be a challenge. I lifted singles @ 135 and 155. I thought, "What the hell. Go for 165." And that's what I did. And the lift felt easy. I added another 10#, confident that it would be a struggle. Nope, 175# was quite easy as well. We were running out of time and I kinda sorta wanted to fail, so I put another 5# on the bar for a total of 180#. Even though I wasn't speaking to him, I asked Michael Kelley to spot for what I was convinced would be a failed attempt. Nope, it was once again an easy lift, and Michael Kelley said, "That looked easy." Unfortunately, there wasn't enough time for another lift. Nonetheless, 180# is the heaviest I've ever bench pressed, and is 125% of my bodyweight.
My question is this: Is a 145# man bench pressing 180# stronger than a 225# man bench pressing 225#? Your opinion matters.
I lifted 135, 155, 160, and 165#.
I completed chest to bar pull-ups, and used a 60# KB. I began with 40# dumbbells, but the first press hurt my left arm somewhat so I switched to right-armed presses using a 40# dumbbell. My goal was to complete all rounds and reps unbroken, and I came this close to doing so. Unfortunately, I was only able to complete chest to bar pull-ups in reps of 4 & 1 at the start of the 8th round. I completed 7 rounds + 5 chest to bar pull-ups and 7 push presses.
I completed 100 tricep banded pull-downs for accessory.
Speaking of this close… I often joke about quitting CFZ and/or opening my own box. I came this close to actually quitting. Yes, this close.

Q: Transparent theme puts items to center I want to make an activity which is mainly transparent except for a gridview and a textview, so my style is:
<style name="Theme.Transparent" parent="android:Theme">
<item name="android:windowIsTranslucent">true</item>
<item name="android:windowBackground">@android:color/transparent</item>
<item name="android:windowContentOverlay">@null</item>
<item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
<item name="android:windowIsFloating">true</item>
<item name="android:backgroundDimEnabled">false</item>
</style>

and my layout:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >

<TextView ... android:layout_gravity="bottom" />

<GridView ...
    android:layout_gravity="bottom"
 />

However textview and gridview are in the exact center, ignoring my bottom layout gravity...

A: A LinearLayout can not do this, use a RelativeLayout instead.  A RelativeLayout will give you access to the centerInParent attribute in it's children..
here:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_centerInParent="true">  //<---- this here is the trick
        <TextView ...
            android:layout_gravity="bottom" />
        <GridView ...
            android:layout_gravity="bottom"
        />
    </LinearLayout>

</RelativeLayout>

You might be able to get rid of that LinearLayout, and I would suggest messing around with this.  It depends on how you need the view to look.
Either way, a RelativeLayout and a layout_centerInParent should do what you want.

Toxicological effects of graphene oxide on adult zebrafish (Danio rerio)

Graphene exhibits unique physical and chemical properties that facilitate its application in many fields, including electronics and biomedical areas. However, the use of graphene and its derivatives could result in accumulation in aquatic environments, and the risks posed by these compounds for organisms are not completely understood. In this study, we investigated the effects of graphene oxide (GO) on adult zebrafish (Danio rerio). Experimental fish were exposed to 2, 10 or 20 mg L-1 GO, and the cytotoxicity, genotoxicity and oxidative stress were assessed. The morphology of the gills and liver tissues was also analyzed. Graphene oxide exposure led to an increase in the number of gill cells that were in early apoptotic and necrotic stages, but genotoxicity was not observed in blood cells. We also observed the generation of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) in gill cells. Structural analysis revealed injuries to gill tissues, including a dilated marginal channel, lamellar fusion, clubbed tips, swollen mucocytes, epithelial lifting, aneurysms, and necrosis. Liver tissues also presented lesions such as peripherally located nuclei. Furthermore, hepatocytes exhibited a non-uniform shape, picnotic nuclei, vacuole formation, cell rupture, and necrosis. Our results showed that sub-lethal doses of graphene oxide could be harmful to fish species and thus represent risks for the aquatic food chain. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. (AU)

Why We Need More Indigenous Australians on Our Screens

Mainstream media is often understood as a reflection of national identity. Television media in Australia has documented Australian lives since its inception in 1956.
For First Nations people however, their voices in this reflection have been largely absent. Non-Indigenous presenters and journalists have historically been in charge of telling the stories about Indigenous people.
In recent times, meaningful self-reflection by some elements of the media industry has seen improvements. However, there is still a need for greater representation of First Nations peoples' perspectives in the media – particularly in relation to Indigenous issues.
Racism in Australian media
The link between racism in the media and racism in our communities is no new thing. In 1991, the National Inquiry into Racist Violence in Australia found:
considerable evidence to indicate that racism in media reporting can damage community relations and create a social climate which is tolerant of racist violence.
Nearly 30 years later, Muruwari journalist Allan Clarke wrote about taking a break from Australian journalism due to the ongoing inequalities he observed in the Australian media industry. Clarke wrote:
Rarely are deaths in custody presented in context; rarely is our culture presented in context; rarely is our history presented in context.
The exclusion of Indigenous voices in the media causes more than minor discomfort. The under-representation of Indigenous perspectives contributes to the marginalisation of Indigenous peoples. Young Indigenous people turn on their television to see only scarce representation of their own people and culture. This sends a message that First Nations people come second to the white majority.
That message sticks.
In addition, non-Indigenous peoples who fail to think critically about what they see on mainstream media are similarly affected. The overwhelming representation of whiteness on morning breakfast shows, for instance, reinforces the notion that Australia is first and foremost a country of white people and excludes Indigenous peoples.
This is just one of the 47 conditions of daily experience non-Indigenous academic Jenny Tannoch-Bland outlined in her article in 1998 that characterises white race privilege.
Representation of Indigenous perspectives
Representations of Indigenous Australian peoples in mainstream media has been clumsy and offensive in many cases.
Bill Leak famously caused outrage with a racist cartoon depicting Indigenous fathers as disinterested alcoholics. Channel Seven made headlines for its 2018 discussion of adoption of Indigenous children where social commentator Prue McSween intimated she thought a new Stolen Generation might be necessary.
After much criticism of mainstream media, broadcasters in Australia are increasing Indigenous representation in their teams.
The ABC has benefited from the work of renowned journalists like Bundjalung woman Miriam Corowa and Dja Dja Wurrung and Yorta Yorta woman Bridget Brennan.
ABC News has also recently replaced sports anchor Paul Kennedy with Barranbinya man and ex-footballer Tony Armstrong. As Armstrong told the Sydney Morning Herald earlier this year,
I really look different. And that's obviously a broader issue the Australian media's got.
The introduction of NITV, launched by SBS in 2012, is described as both "a channel made by, for and about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people". And, "a channel for all Australians" has brought more Indigenous perspectives into Australian living rooms.
Researcher Amy Thomas and Indigenous researcher Yin Paradies noted recently the increased "inclusion" of Indigenous perspectives across mainstream newspaper and television networks. However, they found this often doesn't go further than "surface level inclusion".
According to Thomas and Paradies, surface level inclusion is:
absence of negative stereotypes, but excluding Indigenous authors, perspectives, historical and cultural contexts, and voices.
However, positives can be seen in the rise of social media. A recent report highlighted how Indigenous peoples saw social media as a rich site for self-publishing. This provides a platform for First Nations people to challenge mainstream media exclusion and misinformation about them.
Social media is fast becoming a viable alternative to mainstream media outlets, such as television and news platforms that continue to fail First Nations people. Those media outlets will slowly become less relevant as Indigenous peoples embrace new and innovative channels which allow self-publication of stories and opinions that matter to them.
Indigenous young people need to see their valuable place in society by seeing themselves better represented on television and in newspapers. Australian media need to take a close look at whose voices they are privileging.

NEWS: Metele Attack-19 Soldier's Buried In Maiduguri
Nineteen soldiers who died in the Boko Haram attack on a military base in Metele, Borno State were buried on Friday by the Nigerian Army in Maiduguri.
According to the the Nigerian Army, the 19 soldiers were part of the 23 soldiers lost in the attack on November 18. The army said the remaining four soldiers were not buried on Friday because their next of kin were unavailable at the time of the funeral at the Maimalari Barrack military cemetery.
Though media had reported that over 100 soldiers were lost in the attack, the military has continued to insist that 23 soldiers were killed and 31 others injured during the attack on 157 Task Force Battalion, Metele on November 18.
Those said to have fallen by the insurgents include Lt. Col. Ibrahim Sakaba and 22 soldiers.
In a graveside speech by the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai, who was represented by Maj. Gen. Lamidi Adeosun, the Chief, Army Training and Operations, said the fallen soldiers were heroes.
However the remaining four are yet to be buried pending the arrival of their relatives.

Sunday I hiked the Wapiti Trail up in Heil Valley just north of town with a group of eight from my hiking club. It was a really nice hike and a very friendly group. Very easy hiking but great mountain views. Next weekend I'm going to go back and bike it, which should be fun.

The take-away is not that America is without poverty. However, only a subset of the people classified as poor by the Census Bureau experience what most of us would think of as real poverty–crowded housing conditions, hunger, and the like.
As for the relative wealth of the rich and the middle-class Phil Bowermaster offers this perspective.
comparing the difference in lifestyle between the average person and the richest of the rich. If that delta could be quantifiable, it would almost certainly show a consistent downward trend over the past two hundred years.
Is it because rich just doesn't buy you as much as it used to? Just the opposite, really. Poor buys a lot more than it used to.
…I can declare myself richer than, say, William the Conqueror. Actually, that's a tough one. He had more land and horses than I do, and was much better off in the precious metals department. And in terms of being able to raise armed forces, I'll have to concede that my Posse might have a hard time with the Norman invading forces. Still, I sleep in a more comfortable bed, eat better food, and have Tivo.
For Discussion. The ratio of the highest income to the lowest income has widened in the United States. What has happened to the ratio of consumer goods and services enjoyed at the top to that at the bottom of the income scale?
Currently I'm not aware of any data or studies that could directly answer your question.
I did have my own question though: have the "poor" actually gotten "poorer" in the past decade in America? My guesstimate is that they have not and in fact, have a higher standard of living than their "counterparts" (isn't that term entirely relative and even artificial?) 10, 20 and 30 years ago did.
I don't mean to harp on immigration, but I don't think that you can talk about poverty and inequality until you understand how immigration influences those numbers.
To what extent do the Europeans and Japanese have better numbers on inequality just because they have severe limits on immigration? To what extent is the US in the opposite situation?
I hereby confirm that my flat in Covent Garden was indeed smaller than your average trailer, although a bit more expensive. This factoid is picking up population density and nothing else.
Eric: Europe does not have "severe limits" on immigration.
From what I have read, as well as personal expereince, most European countries don't come anywhere close to having the shear numbers of immigrants as the US has. I mean, we are at the point where more than 10% of the US population is immigrants. From what I have read, (see the link for but one example) Germany is the only European country to come close to that level of immigration. Some of the European countries have trivial levels of immigration, which has been my experience in my travels.
Does anyone knows the background of German immigration. Is a lot of it just ethnic Germans being allowed in from Russia, Bosnia and other formerly Communist areas?
Anyway, It's not that the US has the highest levels of immigration. Canada has immigration levels that simply dwarf the US. A quick trip to Toronto will easily reinforce that fact, although the quality of Canadian immigration is quite different than that of the US. My experience is that their immigration is skewed towards India, China, and Jamaca, not Mexico. I wonder if that makes inequality less of a problem for them.
Anyway, if we are going to talk about inequality differences between, say, the US and France, we need to look at the level of immigration in those two countries, because it is going to have a huge influence on the numbers.
Sec. 40. . . I think it will be but a very modest computation to say, that of the products of the earth useful to the life of man nine tenths are the effects of labour: nay, if we will rightly estimate things as they come to our use, and cast up the several expences about them, what in them is purely owing to nature, and what to labour, we shall find, that in most of them ninety-nine hundredths are wholly to be put on the account of labour.
I lived in poverty for three years (< $9,000 in income for a single person) in the early nineties after college. I earned $200-225 per week, and worked about 8 months of the year. I spent the other months traveling. I owned my car, and never had trouble paying bills or rent. The whole time I never considered myself poor, nor did I ever partake in any government program. This is why I am always skeptical when it comes to poverty stats.
I lived in poverty for three years (less than $9,000 in income for a single person) in the early nineties after college. I earned $200-225 per week, and worked about 8 months of the year.

This is why I am always skeptical when it comes to poverty stats.
I'm not certain, but I suspect the difference isn't quite as glaring as the income gap. However, this is a politically incorrect question to ask and simply shows how insensitive you are to the plight of our nations' poor in their struggle to emulate the rich. It is patently unfair that the affluent are in a position to squander their wealth in full view of the less fortunate.
Until need is eradicated from society through the noble efforts of our government to administer distributive justice, conspicuous consumption should be criminalized and vigorously prosecuted by the state until the agents of discontent (the rich) are permanently reduced in status to that of their fellow man.


This book is a veritable mine of ideas for new menus, playing with an incredible number of combinations.
The practical spiral binding hides a precious secret: the possibility of multiplying almost endlessly the combinations between different dishes. The recipes in this collection are 220 in all: 50 for each of the 4 main courses and 20 for side dishes. Thanks to a simple mechanism that makes for very easy reference, the 220 recipes, in different combinations, can produce a staggering total of more than 6 million different potential menus.


More than half of the flats/houses in Slovenia were built before 1980, or more than three quarters before 1990. In their renovation lies the greatest potential for reducing environmental impacts and lower energy consumption. At the same time, the share of low-income households - those who are supposed to invest in housing renovations - are relatively high. These households also have the most problems with housing conditions or housing deprivation and overcrowding rate.


It's NOT about selling… It's about how to lead and pull prospects through the buy/sale cycle.
Most sales training programs lack practical application strategies. In theory they are good, but students struggle with applying what they learned in the classroom to the field. The success of M3 programs lies in our tool-based trainings that are tailored with real-life examples for each client situation.
During an M3 program, sales professionals are able to practice and fully grasp one tool at a time, using client-specific situations before advancing to the next tool in the buy/sales cycle. M3 tools were designed to accelerate results within an organization and to work in harmony with any sales methodology.

Military ranks of Germany
SS ranks
Schütze in German means "shooter" or "rifleman".[1] It also occasionally occurs as a surname, as Schütz, as in the opera Der Freischütz. The word itself is derived from the German word schützen, meaning to protect, or to guard. It was originally used for archers, and is the German equivalent to Sagittarius.[citation needed]
2 Second World War
3 Modern day Schütze
As a rank of the Armed Forces of Germany in First World War until 1918, Schütze was used for the lowest enlisted ranks in machine gun units and some elite troops like Saxon Schützen-Regiment 108 exclusively. Usually translated as "private", from 1920 on it names the lowest enlisted rank of the Reichswehr infantry. The equivalent of Schütze in the other branches of the German military was Jäger, Kanonier, Pionier, Kraftfahrer etc. in the army, Flieger in the Luftwaffe from 1935 on, Matrose and Heizer (until 1938) in the Reichsmarine and Kriegsmarine, respectively.[citation needed]

Modern day Schütze[edit | edit source]
Insignia of Bundeswehr modern day Schütze, here shoulder strap
The present day German military maintains Schütze as the lowest enlisted grade, with a NATO rank code of OR-1. A Schütze ranks below Gefreiter which is the equivalent of a private (OR-2); the equivalent of a private first class being an Obergefreiter or Hauptgefreiter (this was different before the 20th-century expansion of the Gefreiter into several ranks).[citation needed]
During various periods in German military history, a senior private rank known as Oberschütze existed between the grades of Schütze and Gefreiter. In the modern German Army the rank of Schütze is not used very often. Every part of the Bundeswehr has a different name for this rank. For example, in the Panzergrenadiertruppe (heavy mechanized infantry) the name of the rank is Panzergrenadier, and within the Fernmelder (communication troops), the name is Funker (radio operator).[citation needed]

Intelligent Lives
By Dan Habib
INTELLIGENT LIVES follows three young adults with intellectual disabilities: Micah, Naieer and Naomie, who, with the support of family, educators and colleagues, work toward a future marked with increased inclusion and independence. Their pioneering lives challenge staid notions of intelligence as they navigate high school, college and the workforce.
Historically relegated to a life in isolation, people with intellectual disabilities are among the most systematically segregated people in America. Only 17 percent are included in regular classrooms, and just 15 percent are employed. Nevertheless, 17-year-old Naieer Shaheed attends a Massachusetts public high school and is working towards a career in visual arts. Naomie Monplaisir, 25, works at a beauty school and aspires to support herself financially. Thirty-year-old Micah Fialka-Feldman studies and teaches at Syracuse University, and is a champion of the self-advocacy and independent living movement.
INTELLIGENT LIVES is narrated by Academy Award-winning actor, Chris Cooper, who, through the story of his late son Jesse, expands our understanding of a person's potential beyond their IQ.

The Unafraid


I stopped writing the BohoBerry 30 days challenge on my blog as the daily questions are far to personal to be shared on a public platform. Without a proper prior revelation of my year and life in general, all will be a sham.
So, no not this time.
I have a choice and I am choosing to choose a better time and place.
Will meet you all in new year with a new plan which is brewing in my mind for sometime.
PEACE…Let us all think and plan our 2019.


Our grandson helped me with dinner last night. Oh boy. This is one picky eater.
Earlier in the day, I combined the chicken cutlets, yogurt, brown sugar, cumin, salt and pepper into a Ziploc bag making sure to squish everything together. Then refrigerated until dinner.
About an hour before, I soaked the skewers in water. This helps them not break off or catch on fire.
Note: If some of the cutlets are wide, slice them down the middle. One cutlet per skewer.
Lite up that grill and throw those bad boys on the grill for a few minutes on each side. It won't take long if they are thin like mine were.
I was going to make a spicy peanut sauce but I decided not to at the last minute. I just knew husband and grandson would not eat it. So, you know who would have eaten it all? Me. OK, no thanks!
If you wanted to make it, here is the handy dandy directions.
Combine in a saucepan, whisk well. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and cook till smooth, stirring constantly. Set aside to cool to room temp.
