Original title: "The Mahatma Letters".
We add a few explanatory notes to the article.
Letters is available at our associated websites.
Beginning with the coming of H. P. Blavatsky to New York City in 1873, the centenary cycle was formally launched with the foundation of the Parent Theosophical Society in November, 1875. From that day to this the various stages in the descent of the Movement from spirit to matter have been manifested in events that are, or should be, well known to all theosophical students. Before 1875 the fact of Masters, the teachings of the Wisdom-Religion, the existence of Theosophical Movement, were unknown in the West - a sacredly guarded secret of Occultism. Now the Messenger has come and gone, the Message has been placed of record, the Movement made public, and all are in the faithful or unfaithful stewardship of theosophists.
The Mahatma Letters, which now reach the stage of full publicity after forty years, were all written in the period from 1880 to 1885, that is to say during the first ten years of the Movement. In point of time they antedate the Secret Doctrine, which was published in 1888, and in point of fact they were the moving cause of the character of that great work, which was originally intended to be merely a revised edition of Isis Unveiled. These Letters are, beyond all question, the one great and final contribution to Theosophical literature and history since the Secret Doctrine. They solve the hitherto baffling and inscrutable mysteries in connection with the public course of the Movement, by bringing to light the missing links of its degradation through theosophists, theosophical societies, and the world at large. The triple aspects of the Movement are still either ignored or corrupted both on the part of theosophists and the public.
All three aspects are extensively treated in these Letters, and have become public property in inverse order. Philosophically, whatever there is of value in Mr. Sinnett's two books - The Occult World, published in 1881, and Esoteric Buddhism, first issued in 1883 - was derived from the Letters. The student of today has but to compare the teachings in the Letters with the presentations made by Mr. Sinnett to see how often and how sadly Mr. Sinnett misunderstood both the spirit and the letter of what was given to him in trust. Man: Fragments of Forgotten History - now itself almost forgotten - written by Mohini M. Chatterji and Mrs. Laura Holloway, and published in 1885 - was also derived from these same Letters and, if anything, interpreted their teachings in still worse and weaker fashion. Fragments of Occult Truth, originally published serially in The Theosophist in 1882 and 1883, and written chiefly by Mr. Sinnett and Mr. A. O. Hume, were likewise based upon the Letters, but the errors there made were largely corrected in notes by H.P.B., Subba Row, Damodar Mavalankar and other Chelas, and occasionally by the Masters Themselves, as the Letters now make clear. After his removal to London Mr. Sinnett permitted copies of some of the Letters and of extracts from others to be made and privately circulated. Miss Francesca Arundale, Mr. C. W. Leadbeater, Mrs. Annie Besant, and a few others were thus favored. None of these ever made any public beneficial use of them, and therefore benefited from them personally as little as Mr. Sinnett and Mr. Hume.
Copies of all the Letters were originally supplied at the time to H.P.B. by the Masters Themselves. From H.P.B. Mr. Judge had copies and both Judge and H.P.B. made extensive use of them. Not only were they and other communications direct from the Masters employed in the composition of the Secret Doctrine, but textual extracts were published in the Path and in Lucifer. Besides this, other extracts were published without mentioning their Source, and in scores of their magazine articles both H.P.B. and Mr. Judge embodied one and another aspect of the teachings imparted in the Letters. With the authentic text of the Letters now before him, the theosophical student of today can re-read the various writings of the pioneers of the Movement and easily discern for himself at first hand who was, and who was not, what was and what was not, true in substance and in form to the Great Example set in these Letters. Such a study and comparison will show the gradual divagations in teaching and in practice of many of those who rose to prominence and leadership.
Taken as the standard of theosophical teachings, ethics and conduct, these Letters shed an uncolored, albeit a terrible light on the corruption of the exoteric aspect of the Movement - the old Theosophical Society - by those to whom both the word and the Fellows looked for inspiration and guidance. No thoughtful man can avoid seeing how the existing debasement has been brought about, and how it parallels in every respect the debasement of Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity, and all earlier impulsions of the Theosophical Movement. Now, as before, the corruption and degradation, have come about through Karma, Cause and Effect. Esoteric failures became exoteric leaders; psychics, mediums, and priests replaced the true Chelas; oracular and "inspired" utterances were substituted for a consistent philosophy; Authority dethroned Reason, faith took the place of knowledge; Theosophical sects have replaced the Theosophical Movement.
On the other hand, the Letters shed a glorious illumination on the Theosophical writings and career of H.P.B., and W.Q.J. More these Letters are conned, more their contents and implications are used as a searchlight, more and more clearly will stand out the unique consistency and authenticity of the great Messenger and her Colleague. Neither in philosophy, in ethics, nor in practice did their life work vary in whole or in part from the lines laid down in the Letters of the Mahatmas. Their calumniated reputations are vindicated. It remains for individual Theosophists everywhere to demand for a spoliated past that credit for its achievements which has been too long withheld, to call for the restitution of borrowed robes - to show neither mercy for enthroned error, nor reverence for usurped authority, if the work of the Theosophical Movement is to be restored to its pristine purpose and purity. There must be a return to the Source of all theosophical teaching and endeavor - the Messenger and the Message.
The Mahatma Letters supply the missing links in many matters of historical as well as philosophical and occult mysteries. Readers of The Theosophical Movement, originally published in this magazine and beginning in January, 1920, will be able now to verify the exactitude of the deductions as well as the facts therein submitted on controverted subjects. A study of the complete text can alone show how vast and inclusive is their light on the past, the present and the future of the Theosophical Movement, but a partial index can be given of some of the hitherto unknown or unused values now made realizable.
The great mystery of the Psychical Research Society's "exposure" of H.P.B. and her phenomena is now plain enough. The Letters disclose the disaffection of Stainton Moses ("M.A., Oxon."), C.C. Massey, and others - all spiritualists - with the theosophical teachings on "communication with the dead" and mediumship in general. It was these gentlemen who were prime movers in the organization of the S.P.R. Their object was phenomena, not Brotherhood; mediumship, not chelaship. All were actuated by these motives and by distrust of H.P.B. and hatred for her teachings.
The "Kiddle incident" is treated at length and cleared up, and with it the obscure subject of "precipitations" and "occult messages" is covered far more fully than in any literature hitherto extant. "Messages" are shown by the Mahatmas Themselves as being precipitated by Chelas of varying degrees of proficiency by Their orders in Their own "adopted" handwritings for purposes of communication with non-chelas. The whole "Judge case" hinged on this sole subject. Mrs. Besant's charges against Mr. Judge in 1894 were, on her own declaration, due, not to the fact that he gave out various messages from the Masters - she admitted their substance was from Them - but to the fact that Judge's messages were in the script made familiar by the messages coming through H.P.B.
This very fact had been repeatedly stated by both H.P.B. and Judge, with the further statement that no external signs, such as script, handwriting, cryptographs, seals, and "precipitation" itself, should be regarded by anyone as either "authoritative" or a certificate of "authenticity", but that all messages, phenomenal or otherwise, should be regarded on the basis of their philosophical and moral worth. Yet it was precisely "signs" that the phenomena hunters high and low were always looking for. And when the "signs" were present but the contents of the messages such as to oppose or upset their preconceived notions, then, in every case, these would-be "occultists" were sure "fraud" had been practiced or attempted upon them.
Mr. Sinnett's recently published posthumous "Early Days of Theosophy in Europe" shows that he very early became convinced that H.P.B. was a "fraud" also. The now published Letters show why and wherefore. Over and over the Master reproves, reproaches, corrects Mr. Sinnett, warns him, pleads with him; over and over He reaffirms the knowledge, the bona fides, the dependability of H.P.B. as Their Agent - all to no purpose. Finally the Master quit all communication with Sinnett - who thereafter had recourse to mediums and psychics for thirty-five years for his "messages from Masters".
When Judge was accused he pointed to H.P.B. and finally published a certain "message" delivered through H.P.B. to the Brahmin members at Allahabad in 1881. This was the famous "Prayag Message". Col. Olcott pronounced it a "fraud", and Mrs. Besant a "forgery". Now the complete text is published as No. CXXXIV, in The Mahatma Letters.  Readers can compare it with Mrs. Besant's statements in the articles "East and West" and "The Prayag Letter", in Lucifer for May and July, 1895, and with Col. Olcott's "Postscript" in the Theosophist for April, 1895. Once more Mrs. Besant is shown to have been wholly mistaken and a pitiful as well as a pitiable guide in Occultism.
Still another matter cleared up in The Mahatma Letters is the famous controversy over whether Mars and Mercury are part of the "earth chain globes". Mr. Sinnett thought and taught that they are, and when H.P.B. corrected his interpretations in the Secret Doctrine, he said she was wrong and maintained his own accuracy of presentation. Later on, after her death, he repeated his assertions and declared she was under "other influences than those of the Masters". Judge defended the knowledge and faith of H.P.B. and this, in 1893, was the starting point of the conspiracy against Judge which culminated in the charges of 1894-1895. The original text of the Mahatmas Letters to Sinnett himself now make clear that H.P.B. was right and Sinnett wrong. On this Mars and Mercury dispute Mrs. Besant first sided with Judge and H.P.B. (Lucifer, August, 1893, pp. 576-577), then equivocated (Lucifer, November, 1893, p. 206), then sided point-blank with Mr. Sinnett (Lucifer, December, 1895, p. 271), and, to bolster up her affirmation, declared that the Master Himself had said "categorically, that Mars and Mercury made part of the chain of which our Earth is the fourth Globe…. Mr. Sinnett's statement is entirely borne out by the original letter". Mrs. Besant's accuracy and trustworthiness can be examined by comparing her various statements as cited with the exact text as given in The Mahatma Letters, pp. 148 and 176. The subject matter of this controversy itself is ably treated in an Appendix, beginning at page 489, written by the Compiler of the Letters, Mr. A. Trevor Barker, himself a Fellow in Mrs. Besant's Theosophical society.
The Letters make plain the basis and origin, not less than the hitherto concealed facts of the internal difficulties which, within the first seven-year cycle of the Parent Theosophical Society, made a breach which was never healed in the solidarity of the "Third Section". Through this breach, as through a crevasse, poured the "muddy torrent of Kamaloca", spreading disaster and ultimate ruin (a) to the professed "Objects" of the Society; (b) to the "Esoteric Section", composed of "lay" and "probationary" chelas; (c) to the purity of the original teachings; (d) to the theosophical repute of H.P.B. and W.Q.J. Step by step with this inundation the original impulses have been submerged, the spurious and the corrupt have usurped the place of the genuine. Black magic has triumphed over White in the public aspect of the Theosophical Movement, and the once living Theosophical Society is no longer even a "shell"; it has become a mere scattered and incoherent mass of skandhas. As a body, the Theosophical Movement has perished, but today, as always, there are the individual units, "the true Theosophists in every country and of every race", who have in all times given the public Movement whatever vitality it may possess. They are now armed as never before, for they have a recorded philosophy, recorded history, recorded experience, before their very eyes in their own generation; the world's need is greater than ever. The forces of evil have done their worst, but they could not prevent the making and the imprint of the triple record for the sure guidance of all who seek to form a nucleus of Universal Brotherhood on the imperishable foundation. Let all true Theosophists rejoice at the light that is now shed on the dark places of the past and present, and go on with the work of fitting themselves to be the better able to help and teach others, by studying, applying, promulgating, the lessons and the facts of theosophical philosophy and theosophical history.
The Mahatma Letters to A. P. Sinnett should not be confused by theosophical and other students with a small volume lately published in India and Chicago by interests connected with the official conduct of Mrs. Besant's society, and which is made up of copies and extracts, out of setting and out of relation to the whole series. The genuine edition of The Mahatma Letters contains the complete and unexpurgated verbatim transcript direct from the original Letters which were bequeathed by Mr. Sinnett to his executrix and by her turned over to Mr. Barker for publication. The volume is issued by the well-known London house of T. Fisher Unwin, Limited, and contains 492 + xxxv pages. The English edition is priced at 21 shillings, but we understand that an authorized American edition is to be brought out by Frederick A. Stokes Co. of New York City.
 This sentence refers to the influence of the 100-year cycle in the theosophical effort. See the article "The Theosophical Movement, 1875-2075", which is the Chapter 22 of the book "The Fire and Light of Theosophical Literature", by Carlos Cardoso Aveline (The Aquarian Theosophist, Portugal, 2013, 255 pages).
 "Lucifer" magazine, founded by Helena Blavatsky in London and edited by her until she left physical life in 1891. "Lucifer" means "light-bearer". This ancient and pagan name of Venus, the morning and evening star, has been distorted by Christian fanatics since the Middle Ages.

RuckPack is the combination of an energy shot and nutritional supplement; defining a new category within the energy drink and sports energy drink markets – Peak Performance Nutrition.
The only nutritional shot created on the battlefield by Special Operations Forces Marines for the rigor of war, RuckPack is proven to sustain peak mental and physical performance.
No empty energy. No niacin flush. No shakes. No jolt. No crash. No nasty chemical aftertaste.
RuckPack focuses on attitude, sharp cognitive skills, strong bones, electrolyte charged bodies, good circulation, strong muscles, healthy joints, and a responsive immune system.
All RuckPack ingredients work together to promote lasting energy and core wellness.
Major Robert Dyer is an active duty Marine Corps aviation officer, a highly decorated combat veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan, and an entrepreneur who is combining his wartime experience and business acumen to create supplemental nutrition and energy products for military and active civilians alike.
Dyer founded his company, San Diego-based Noots! Nutrition, in 2008, drawing on his experience in a modern war waged under vastly different conditions than prior conflicts, requiring new technologies, weapons and skillsets along with increased energy, endurance and nutrition.
One of his company's first products is RuckPack, a concentrated liquid energy shot of essential vitamins and minerals, without caffeine. Dyer developed RuckPack under battlefield conditions to help weary troops recover quickly from fatigue and dehydration with minimal down time under stressful conditions.


If there is one subject that should be drummed into the head and heart of every entrepreneur, especially in this part of the world, it is corporate governance. It easily differentiates between good and great companies. Corporate governance is the only reason some businesses have survived the test of time, patience, adversity, fears and successes (successes could sometimes be overwhelming). It makes the difference between companies that span multiple generations and those that die with their founder.
Investopedia defines corporate governance as the system of rules, practices and processes by which a company is directed and controlled. It essentially involves balancing the interests of a company's many stakeholders, such as shareholders, management, customers, suppliers, financiers, government and the community.
In an environment where most founders/entrepreneurs are lords to themselves, you can understand why it's difficult to implement proper corporate governance. Several entrepreneurs argue they have such systems in place by which the company is directed and controlled but what most fail to explain is how those systems are developed, enforced and monitored. The reason is simple – they are defined by the whims of the founder. The founder decides what those systems will be, how they will be enforced and how they will be monitored.
This is where the importance of having a board of directors or advisers comes to play, no matter how small the business is. The board gives multiple benefits to the business. Depending on the selection of the board, they can offer credibility to the business, provide leads, de-clutter thoughts, foresee threats, inspire confidence, generate ideas and weather occasional failures. I know a business that survived only because of its board. The promoter of the business got to his wits end and was ready to call it quit but the directors, even though they had no equity, encouraged him to continue despite odds and today his business is one of the fastest growing in its sector.
It's very critical that the entrepreneur not only thinks through the business plan, but also thinks carefully on the selection of advisers or directors. And these advisers are usually not only motivated by equity in the business, even though you might have to offer either cash or equity to some but others will do it pro-bono just to encourage the business. The entrepreneur should seek out advisers with diverse set of skills that complements him. This assumes the entrepreneur understands his/her weaknesses and his bold enough to accept people who will think differently from him, hence, occasionally challengd his decisions. The entrepreneur must understand that he will not be able to make key independent decisions and must be willing to be answerable to people who have not put in sweat into the business.
With proper corporate governance, both definition and implementation, companies increase their chances of surviving significantly but it comes at a cost!

This Week's Worst Person in Westeros: Jon Snow
By Jacob Brogan and Susan Matthews
Good hair. Still terrible, though.
After each episode in Game of Thrones Season 6, we'll be adjudicating a crucial question: Who is currently the worst person in Westeros? This week, technology and culture writer Jacob Brogan is joined by Slate science editor Susan Matthews.
Brogan: Hi, Susan! Thanks for joining me this week to talk about "Oathbreaker," which turned out to be the comedy episode of Game of Thrones. We had some A+ incest humor from the always-welcome Lady Olenna, and Tyrion showed up just long enough to propose what I think was a drinking game of thrones, for which we absolutely need to establish some rules. Plus, we saw Sam throwing up into a pot and witnessed Tormund deflating last week's miraculous resurrection with a joke about how small Jon Snow's dick is: "I saw your pecker. What kind of god would have a pecker that small?" I'd be irritated with that one, but Tormund's nickname is Giantsbane, so I guess he's seen bigger.
There was plenty of awful stuff going on, but for once it mostly felt incidental to the humor. So who's the worst this week? The High Sparrow? Qyburn and his creepy child army? Perhaps even Jon Snow himself?
Matthews: You know, when we saw Sam come back finally, I was so relieved, because he normally provides such reliable comic relief. But then the entire episode really kept on surprising me when it came to Game of Thrones humor. In particular, Jaime and Cersei walking around with their one huge Frankenstein guardian is starting to feel quite laughable. He may be undead, but he is just one dude. Even Cersei admitted the limits to his power!
The army of child spies was an unexpected twist. Varys owned up to his personal strategy for getting what he wants (by making people happy), but giving kids candy to do his bidding is so gross and would feel pretty predatory if we weren't constantly reminded of his eunuch status. There was an equally terrible vibe between Tommen and the High Sparrow—as soon as he asked to sit down, alarm bells started going off, but Tommen continues to be the most boring king/character possible.
I'm going to have to say that Jon Snow himself is my vote for the worst person in Westeros this week, though. I mean, he just got revived from being dead and the first thing he says is that he's pissed about getting murdered? Um, that was just resolved for you, Jon. Embrace your great new haircut and perk up.
Brogan: This may be the ultimate joke that the episode played on us: We've been waiting for months to learn whether Jon had really kicked the bucket, and now that he's back, I kind of wish that he was gone again. Varys and Qyburn give candy to orphans, and the High Sparrow is turning poor, stupid Tommen against his mother, but in this episode we had the distinct pleasure of watching Jon literally murder a child. Was Olly terrible? Yes, always. But watching Jon hang him was still a lot.
Now, the obvious rejoinder there is that Jon is just doing his duty as lord commander of the Night's Watch. But as he storms off at the end of the episode he pronounces, "My watch has ended," presumably indicating that death has freed him from his vows. How are we supposed to feel about that?
Matthews: The scene where Jon had to hang his murderers felt quite reminiscent of one of the earliest episodes where Ned Stark beheads someone himself because that's what being an honorable leader requires. But Jon's reaction to this duty felt very un–Ned Stark to me. Of course, in this same episode we've learned that Ned Stark might not be the great, honorable leader that we might have always assumed.
There was a moment where I wanted to give Jon the benefit of the doubt—in his mind, coming back from the dead has always been associated with becoming a white walker. So I guess I can see how maybe it's a little scary. But then Alliser Thorne's last words were about how he's done his duty and now he will get to rest, while Jon is going to have to keep fighting everyone's battles forever. First of all, I'm not even sure Jon is immortal? Melisandre almost certainly doesn't know! And second, can we just have one episode of having our hero back before he spirals into an existential crisis about (possible) immortality?
Brogan: Jon's had his low points and his bleak moments, but he's also been the closest thing that we have to a clasically heroic fantasy protagonist on this show. That early beheading scene is a good reference point, not least of all because it involved Ned punishing a member of the Night's Watch who'd fled the Wall after seeing the white walkers, I think. By contrast, Jon's encountered plenty of monstrous foes and has carried on largely unperturbed. But he dies for a few days and suddenly he's smoking clove cigarettes and reading Camus?
I suppose it's reasonable that he would spiral a bit after coming back from the dead: That line about seeing nothing after being stabbed was a brutal indication of what he went through—and a nice rejoinder to those who thought he'd warged into his direwolf, Ghost. Still, I think the link back to the younger—and slightly debased—Ned that we get in this episode is important. It turns out that doing your duty doesn't make you good. And reneging on your responsibilities may not be any better.
Perhaps death has revealed the true Jon Snow to us: He's always been that sort of sexy, distant emo dude with good hair, but now we're getting to know the real guy and it turns out that he kinda sucks. But, hey: butt shot!
Matthews: Right, the real Jon Snow might not be the hero we thought. But frankly who isn't a sucker for twisted, tormented men? Jon Snow can be the worst person in Westeros, but honestly twisted Jon Snow may be even sexier.
Brogan: Old Jon Snow knew nothing. Existentialist Jon Snow knows nothingness. And we love to hate him for it.
Matthews: I'm still mad at him for his completely weird reaction to being resurrected. If being alive again isn't going to make him even slightly happy, what will? Go away, Jon Snow.
Brogan: Jon Snow, you are the worst.


The rules of soccer are very simple. Basically it's this: If it moves, kick it; if it doesn't move, kick it until it does.
Our life is frittered away by detail. Simplicity, simplicity,simplicity!
There is no greatness where there is not simplicity.
Economy, prudence, and a simple life are the sure masters of need, and will often accomplish that which their opposites, with a fortune at hand, will fail to do.
Besides the noble art of getting things done, there is the noble art of leaving things undone. The wisdom of life consists in the elimination of non essentials.

Population, Health, and Environment Assessments in Ethiopia, Kenya, and Tanzania
Social and Environmental Dimensions of Health	World and U.S. Population Trends
The integrated population-health-environment (PHE) approach to development recognizes the interconnectedness between people and their environment and supports cross-sectoral collaboration and coordination. As its name suggests, the approach places particular emphasis on the population, health, and environment sectors; however, the underlying philosophy is fundamentally one of integration. It can accommodate other sectors, such as agriculture and education, and can be successfully applied to a range of development goals, from poverty reduction to food security to gender equity.
The Population Reference Bureau coordinated a comparative study of population, health, and environment integration and cross-sectoral collaboration in East Africa. Teams from Ethiopia, Kenya, and Tanzania assessed the state of PHE integration in their respective countries, including identifying relevant stakeholders; assessing the policy environment for cross-sectoral collaboration; highlighting the most salient population, health, and environment issues; and describing the current state of integration among projects, programs, and policies.
Three policy briefs highlight this PHE approach in Ethiopia, Kenya, and Tanzania.
"Integrating Population, Health, and Environment in Ethiopia" is based on the Ethiopia PHE assessment written by Dessalegn Rahmato, Yeraswork Admassie, and Yared Mekonnen in 2007. (PDF: 1.01MB)
The methods used to conduct the assessment in Ethiopia included a review of relevant government policies and project documents, key informant interviews, and focus group discussions. The Ethiopia PHE assessment was made possible with funding from the David and Lucile Packard Foundation.
Ethiopia's diverse cultural, religious, and linguistic heritage reflects its location at the crossroads of Africa and the
Middle East. Some of the first human settlements arose in this region, which means that Ethiopians have interacted with their natural environment for millennia. The ox-plow system—the dominant form of agriculture in Ethiopia—arose in the highlands more than 2,000 years ago. The highlands are also home to moorland, grassland, and woodland habitat, which contain considerable biodiversity. Despite some species loss, Ethiopia still claims a wealth of natural resources, though it is increasingly under threat.
In recent decades, this ancient center of more than 100 ethnic groups has been known for recurrent famines, epidemics, and conflicts. However, policymakers within and outside Ethiopia are determined to break the cycle of food insecurity and poverty through sustained economic growth, while preserving the country's unique natural heritage. A development model that integrates population, health, and environment factors may be the best way to achieve these goals. A versatile development model that strives to integrate population and environment has been implemented in countries similar to Ethiopia in recent years, with encouraging results. Known as cross-sectoral or integrated population, health, and environment (PHE), this holistic approach has potential for application in Ethiopia and is compatible with the government's new poverty reduction strategy.
"Integrating Population, Health, and Environment in Kenya" is based on the Kenya PHE assessment coordinated by the National Coordinating Agency for Population and Development (NCAPD) and conducted by the University of Nairobi and the Kenya PHE task force between October 2006 and April 2007. (PDF: 337KB)
The methods used to conduct the assessment in Kenya included a review of relevant government policies and project documents, key informant interviews, site household surveys, and focus group discussions. The Kenya PHE assessment was made possible with funding from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).
Kenya faces tremendous development challenges in nearly all sectors: Poverty is endemic, deforestation is continuing, and infant mortality remains high. Still, most development efforts—whether by government or nongovernmental organizations—focus resources and expertise on one particular area, such as reforestation or improving maternal and child health, rather than integrating interrelated concerns into a holistic approach. While a number of policies and programs linking population, health, and environment concerns have been tried in Kenya, an assessment of the overall "state of integration" had not been undertaken until recently. The lessons from this assessment, undertaken by the National Coordinating Agency for Population and Development and the University of Nairobi, suggest that integrated programs require greater efforts in planning, coordination, and communication, but they can yield substantial rewards for communities and the environment, including reduced dependence on forest resources, greater food security, cleaner drinking water, and increased access to health services.
"Integrating Population, Health, and Environment in Tanzania" is based on the Tanzania PHE assessment written in 2007 by the late Dr. N.F. Madulu, formerly of the Institute of Resource Assessment/University of Dar es Salaam, and the members of the Tanzania PHE assessment team: Dr. Hussein Sosovele, IRA and World Wide Fund for Nature; Grace Lusiola, EngenderHealth; Joseph Kihaule, Vice President's Office (VPO-Environment); Arnold Mapinduzi, VPO-National Environmental Management Council; and Jamal Baruti, Lake Victoria Environmental Management Project.
(PDF: 961KB)
The methods used to conduct the assessment in Tanzania included a review of relevant policies, laws, and project documents; key informant interviews; and field visits to case study sites. The Tanzania PHE assessment was made possible with funding from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).
The number of people, where they live, and how they live, all affect the condition of the environment. People alter the environment by clearing land for development, using natural resources, and producing wastes. Changes in environmental conditions, in turn, affect human health and well-being. Rural poverty, a high population growth rate, deforestation, and fresh water scarcity, for example, all pose challenges for policymakers in Tanzania and elsewhere in Africa. While links among population, health, and the environment are sometimes acknowledged in national-level policies and development strategies, most development efforts continue to employ a traditional sectoral approach, aligned with the division of government services and institutional structures. In doing so, opportunities for achieving superior results—in cost-effectiveness, programmatic and administrative efficiencies, and programmatic outcomes—by employing an integrated, holistic approach may be missed.

Female genital mutilation: The real reason it's still a crime
Female genital cutting is still a very big problem in Africa, with the United Nations estimating that some 30 million women and girls are cut.
But the true reason for the crime, the UN's Human Rights Commissioner said in a speech this week, is far more sinister.
In the latest of several interviews with female genital mutilators, U.N. human rights advocate and former Gambian diplomat and BBC journalist Mariam Bouattia talks to Time about the true causes of the barbaric practice.
"Female genital cutting" is an extremely modern phenomenon, said Bouattie.
The practice of cutting off the clitoris of young girls and then cutting their testicles is nothing new.
It has been practiced in various cultures since the Middle Ages, and in the early 19th century, the practice was common in some parts of the world.
Today, however, it is illegal in many countries, with only a handful of exceptions.
Bouatti says the practice is not about sex, but rather about "trying to control the sexuality" of girls and women.
"This is a modern, modern, barbaric and patriarchal practice," Bouattiere told Time.
"And this is why we have to stop it."
The practice is also practiced by some Muslim and Christian groups, but Bouattiate says the true motivation is a more religious and cultural one.
"[It's] about the idea that you can't be sexually attracted to a woman and a man, that you have to choose between them," she said.
"I think that's what makes it such a big problem, because we have such a strong patriarchal culture."
The "idea of a female being a woman" is what allows for this practice to be done, Bouattiesaid.
"The idea of a woman as a woman is part of the Quran," she explained.
According to Bouattias testimony, the reason for female genital cutting in the Middle East is religious.
She says she saw a doctor at the time who explained that the practice "is not related to the Quran, and is part and parcel of Islamic tradition."
"This is why the Islamic tradition says that a woman should have a veil, and a veil should not cover her genitals.
They have to cover their genitals.
If a woman has a veil and is covered, then she is a Muslim," she added.
As part of a recent documentary by the BBC, Bouattenia said she was the only female member of Gambia's national cabinet when she was appointed to the position in 2013.
The country has since had a series of attempts at female genital surgery, including in 2013, when Gambia was the first country in the world to ban female genital surgeries.
But Bouattiet said that after she was forced to leave office, the government tried to have the country reclassify as a "Western" country and allow female genital operations.
She said that this policy was only partially successful, as female genital cuttings continued to be performed.
"We were told we would have to be treated differently if we were women, and that we would not be allowed to practice medicine.
We were told that we were a threat to our society," Bouatia said.
Despite the fact that Bouattiacs case was the reason why the Gambian government is now attempting to ban these procedures, Bouatie said she is still surprised that it took a case of female genital removal to bring such a massive crackdown.
Bouattia said the government has not done enough to bring the issue to the attention of the international community, but she does hope that more governments will take up the cause.
"It is a shame, because I hope this will lead to a change," Bouatsaid.

Which movies are you most excited about in 2019?


Primary school, or Prep school if your child is going to an Independent School, is where the foundations for your child's education are laid down. From the basic building blocks of the subjects, through to the habits that students need to develop before carrying on to harder topics and higher levels, this is where a child takes their first steps towards their dreams and ambitions.
However at this stage children are also learning how to form friendships, building self-confidence, independence and the personal and social skills they will need in life. It is all too easy for a child to start to struggle to learn these fundamental concepts, which will have a knock on effect throughout their school career. At this point in time they may need a helping hand to make sure their learning is on track and that they can move on to the next level of their education with the self-confidence and knowledge they require.
Register now for a no obligation chat, it's free to contact our tutors to make sure that you find the tutor that is the right match for you and your child. Our tuition is targeted, tailored to your child and flexible to suit your needs.
At the end of year 6, the final year of primary school, most children in England and Wales take an exam. For those in an education system based on the tripartite system of Secondary Modern and Grammar schools it will be the 11+, also for those progressing to independent schools, many require students to take and score well on the 11+ exam.
The exams are based around four subjects, English, Maths, Verbal and Non-verbal Reasoning. The English portion is normally a comprehension based question, followed by punctuation and grammar assessments, the Maths will cover the basic topics your child should be well versed in, including addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, along with fractions, decimals and percentages, shape and area, measurement and time, money and basic graphs. Verbal reasoning may include odd one out style questions, letter and number sequences, codes and order questions, anagrams and word endings and beginnings, whilst Non Verbal reasoning are based around patterns, number and shape.
These sort of questions are frequently outside of the normal types of exam questions your child might have done before. Tuition can test your child in mock exam conditions, and target the support your child needs. Sign up now and start talking to one of our skilled tutors. It's free to get started and you can contact our tutors to make sure they are the best match for you and your child.
Are you a tutor who specialises in this area? Then sign up now, registration is simple straightforward and free. Start today and you could be welcoming more students before you know it.
Often sat at the end of the final year of primary school aged 11 or at 13, this set of exams covers the core subjects of English, Maths and Science, along with a range of optional papers including French, Geography, German, Greek, History, Latin, Mandarin, Religious Studies and Spanish. Most independent senior schools expect Geography, History, Religious Studies and at least one language. This can be difficult if your child has attended a school that doesn't offer all of these subjects, or hasn't prepared your child for these sort of exams. Private tuition can provide the learning and support your child needs to succeed and compete in these highly competitive tests.
Sign up now to start talking to our tutors, they can help you to decide which areas your child will need support in if they are facing the Common Entrance Exams. It's free to sign up and our skilled tutors can provide targeted, tailored and flexible tuition to help your child fulfil their potential.
Are you a tutor in one of these subjects, or do you specialise in the Common Entrance Exams? Then sign up now, registration is fast, free and designed to help you start finding students as soon as you are registered as one of our team.
The first 3 years of High School or Senior School cover the Key Stage 3 syllabus. This forms the basis for the GCSE exams that students will complete in the final years of high school. Students will study the widest range of subjects of their school career, and so may struggle. This range is to allow them to take any of the options offered at GCSE, even though they won't take them all.
If students struggle in any area they may be advised not to take the subject, or if it is a core subject then they may only be allowed to take Foundation level. Meaning they won't be able to continue this subject through to A-Level. Tuition can provide the support and guidance they need to reach their full potential. At KS3 many tutors specialise in one subject, or they may be qualified in a number of areas and able to give more generalised help. Register now it's simple to get started and you can be talking to local tutors who can support your child as they grow educationally and begin to choose the subjects that will define their careers.
Are you a KS3 tutor? Do you have space for more students? Then register now to start talking to parents looking for your help. It's straightforward and free to register, so what are you waiting for?
In the final 2 years of High School or Senior School students sit a series of exams, General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE). Some schools expect students to sit 14 or 15 exams, even though recently chief examiners are advising students only take 8 subjects to allow them to have a more rounded education, including extracurricular activities and work experience. For schools and teachers working to achieve targets set and school league table places these extra exams are vital, for any child these extra exams can be too much. If a child has slipped behind at KS3 or even during the GCSE period they can feel that educationally is it all over. But tuition has proven results, improving grades, or even supporting the entire syllabus. There are few jobs out there available to people without GCSEs and good colleges are asking for higher and higher grades for entry.
Sign up now and start talking to our tutors about the support and teaching that your child needs. We all need a helping hand now and then, and in this critical period children up and down the country will be having private tuition to improve their grades and give them the best start on the career path, whatever direction that takes them.
Are you a GSCE tutor? Then sign up now, registration is free and takes only seconds. There are students out their waiting for you.
Further Education was until recently an optional part of a student's progression, however recent reforms mean that students have to continue in education until the year they turn 17. Meaning that some form of studying, either A-Levels, BTEC, Apprenticeships or similar is now a part of compulsory education.
A-Levels are seen as the hardest point of studying, and there is some truth in this. To complete a university degree it is normal to have to take a variety of subjects that they student may have little or no interest or aptitude. Once they have passed this hurdle they will normally be studying a subject they have a genuine interest in, with a much narrower field of study. As a young adult they have left school behind and are now expected to be more proactive in their education, as well as completing the required extra-curricular activities and work experience needed for university. It's no wonder all too many start to struggle and lose the confidence in their abilities needed to do well in their exams. Tuition can provide the teaching and learning support they need outside of the classroom and cover topics that they may never have encountered before, allowing them to achieve their full potential and go on to their first choice of university. Register now to start discussing what your young adult needs to complete these two very tough years. Registration is fast and free and you can start chatting to our tutors straight away.
Are you an A-Level tutor? Then sign up now, it's no secret that A-Level tutors are amongst the highest paid tutors, so what are you waiting for? Registration is fast and straightforward and won't cost you a penny.

You'll definitely want to shell(ac) out for one of these.
Elysia is marking its 10-year anniversary with a limited run of vinyl-fronted modules, but you'll need to be quick as there are only 50 units per module available worldwide.
The brittle black stuff adorns the company's karacter, nvelope, xfilter, and xpressor 500 series modules. You won't need to worry about any scratches or warping to the record, though, as each vinyl front is mounted on a steel plate and powder-coated. And, of course, you won't want to use just any old bolts when fitting them into your studio, so each one is completed by a set of included lens head screws to match.
What we're not entirely sure of is what exactly is cut into each record used for the job, but we can tell you that the modules are available for sale now for £591.60 each. Check out the Elysia website for a list of dealers.

Docker Images: Docker image is an executable package which includes everything needed to run the application. In short, it's an image to build an operating system for your application on top of the existing kernel. By running the docker image we can build docker container. ADD/ COPY:- This command has two argument source and destination. It copies the new file from given path or URL and placed to the destination. CMD/ RUN:- The main function of this command to execute the command. ENV:- Define the environment variable. ENV take input in the form of key-value pairs formate. (like JAVA environment variable). EXPOSE:- This command will expose the application port to the outside world. (like Apache post 8080,80) but make sure the same port should not open from host side where docker application installed. VOLUME:- This command will allow creating a volume outside of the container (host server) and attach to the docker application, So by accident, if docker container deletes we can save our application data and later reattach to another docker container. WORKDIR:- This command changes the default directory to the working directory where the different set of commands like CMD, RUN. ENTRYPOINT:- Allows you to configure a container that will run as an executable. So finally we know basic terminology and commands which can help to create dockerfile and build docker image.
Example 1:- Install the HTTP package via docket file into centos base image.
Example 2:- Install Apache server and copy an index.html file from the host location to Docker container expose port 80 and start the httpd services. Make sure you have already having index.html file exist in your host location.
Example 3:- Install MongoDB from MongoDB repo create the default directory and expose port.
First, create a file name mongo.repo in the host and add below the line.
Above code installing MongoDB on top of centos image and provide external VOLUME from host to container and EXPOSE port.
Example 4:- Create a CentOS docker image and copy some shell script from Host to container under container /tmp working directory provide executable permission and execute the script.
In above code script.sh file move from the host server to image and execute the script accordingly.
Example 5: Pull Jenkins latest image from Docker repo and build a custom image with 4GB limited memory and 300 count request to handle the traffic, make a log folder expose port 8080 to outside access the Jenkins page.
Above code download Jenkins latest image from docker repo and limit the memory to 4GB and limit 200 web application connection and create Jenkins log directory and expose port 8080 to access the Jenkins from outside the host.
By default docker build command will take the input from Dockerfile.
docker build -t <name of your image> .
This command show existing images under your host.
Above command will start the container based on the image provide and login shell.

The games to look forward to most in 2018

Home » The games to look forward to most in 2018
I think it would be fair to say the past few years in gaming has been an embarrassment of riches. Huge, amazing games have almost become the expected norm on a regular basis. Charming but engaging indie games are available in an almost constant stream. Chances are you're a lot like me and started playing games like The Witcher 3 when they came out – and still aren't done. But neither time nor gaming ever stand still. Here are all the upcoming games I'll be surely spending the rest of the decade clearing off my list of shame.
Release date: 11th January | Switch This isn't actually a new game. In fact, it came out last August for most platforms. The one platform it didn't come out for until this very week, however, was the Nintendo Switch. If you played the first instalment, you'll already know the deal for the sequel. You'll probably also be acutely aware how perfect a fit it is for the "play in any room of your house, at any time" Nintendo Switch. The game sees you doing your damnedest to escape from prison, while also keeping up with your otherwise normal schedule to avoid drawing the attention of the guards. As well as new locations to escape from and new mechanics, the sequel also brings with it multiplayer escapology. It's a classic time-sucker and while it's a pity it's taken a while to find its way onto the Switch, now that it has, it's a must-have eShop title for the system.
Release date: 26th January | Xbox One, PS4 I can't say I've ever particularly gotten on with the Monster Hunter series. I've played a handful of instalments across the PSP, Wii and Wii U, but there's an impenetrable 'Japaneseness' that's often pervaded the games and made them difficult to get into. At some points, it felt more like operating a spreadsheet than playing a video game. At others, the combat was often pretty complicated and janky. Capcom seems to have acknowledged these weak points of their series and made a genuine effort to try to finally sell the series to the mainstream in the West with Monster Hunter World. A completely new game engine underpins a stripped back gameplay that focuses more on the open, living world itself than stats and figures. All of the classic JRPG trappings are still there, but lessons have clearly been learned both from Western RPGs like The Witcher 3 as well as their own Monster Hunter Stories from last year in making things a bit more accessible to new players.
Bayonetta 1 and 2
Release date: 16th February | Switch If you bought Bayonetta 2 on the Wii U, congratulations, you're one of the special few who not only owned a Wii U, but bought a game that isn't Mario Kart for it. For the rest of us, February's release of the first two games on the Nintendo Switch – ahead of a release of a third game in the series at some point – is going to be the first chance to play this critically acclaimed follow-up to the original button-mashing madness that is Bayonetta. It might seem like a lot of the biggest names on the Switch so far are just ports, but it's hard to complain when most are really just refugees of the Wii U's sinking ship and they're of this quality.
Release date: 20th March | Xbox One, Windows 10 I'm personally torn on what to make of Sea of Thieves. While Rare have undoubtedly put together a very compelling world of mechanics and general piratey goodness, it's hard to say how much appeal that will have when playing with a load of 13 year old racists on Xbox Live. But, if you've got a group of friends you can put a crew together with, Sea of Thieves would appear to be a must-have. I think once the game is finally out in the real world, it'll be possible to put together a real opinion on whether it'll have any sea-legs beyond being Youtube-fodder.
Release date: 23rd March | PS4 The first Ni No Kuni game is a gorgeous Studio Ghibli collaboration that made for one of the PS3's best JRPGs in a deep sea of contenders. The sequel doesn't have the direct involvement of Ghibli any more, but looks no worse for it. Dropping the first game's cast has freed things up considerably from one of the original's weakest points, while a new battle mechanic has been introduced to effectively replace the gap left by Level 5 when they cut and pasted Ni No Kuni's monster mechanic out to develop Yokai Watch with. The game has already seen a number of delays, so it might not actually stick to its current 23rd March release date, but whenever it finally drops, it's one of this year's essential games for sure.
Release date: Q1 | PS4 Supposedly due for release in March this reboot sees Kratos taking on a brand new pantheon of Norse Gods while also having to handle the trials of being a father (yes, seriously). In a move away from the linear hack-n-slash gameplay that defined the series originally, this game takes on a more open world approach that's more than a little reminiscent of last year's Horizon Zero Dawn. That doesn't mean that there isn't plenty of hacky, slashy action in the game – in fact, by all accounts, it's the most visceral and action-packed game in the series ever. By breathing new life into one of gaming's most iconic modern franchises, this game is promising to be one to be excited about.
Release date: Q1/Q2 | PS4 Touted as the beginning of a new video game Marvel Universe to be expanded upon by games like Square-Enix's upcoming Avengers projects, this game would be exciting even without all that. From the skilled talent at Insomniac Games – particularly of Ratchet & Clank and Sunset Overdrive fame – this new Spider-Man game is the long-awaited response by the House of Ideas to the huge success of the Batman Arkham games. A cinematic AAA-level game starring Marvel's most famous hero in what promises to be the best Spider-Man game since the surprise hit adaption of Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 2 back in the PS2 days. This game is almost literally the specific reason I own a PS4. If it weren't for the fact that this list is in something vaguely resembling a chronological order, it'd be right at the top.
Release date: Q2 | Xbox One, PS4 While Spider-Man is easily at the top of my most anticipated games list, this game might even be the one to top it. I'm not overselling it when I say that Red Dead Redemption is one of the best games ever made. It quite simply is a masterpiece that, once you've played it, will stay with you forever. You'll think of the first time you realised you could hog tie a random civilian in town, lay them down at the train tracks and then gleefully watch as everything gets a bit red. Or the missions you did for the mysterious man who we're pretty sure is the Grim Reaper or something, right? Or that ending. Or hell, the expansion pack where everyone turned into Zombies before Activision latched onto the idea and did it to death. The original Red Dead Redemption took Grand Theft Auto IV's base game engine and made something even better. Given how great Grand Theft Auto V was, and how amazing the trailers for this game already look, Rockstar would have to physically turn my console off after 20 minutes of playing Red Dead 2 to possibly disappoint with this game. Ok, I'm done gushing.
Release date: Q4 | Xbox One, PS4, Switch, PC When Keiji Infaune left Capcom in 2010, he seemed to take the future of the Mega Man series with him. Several in-development games were immediately cancelled and there hasn't been much activity with the franchise since. Mighty No. 9 proved a continued enthusiasm for new Mega Man games, even if the game itself disappointed. Perhaps that's what woke Capcom from their slumber because Mega Man is now officially back and with a brand new game that drops the 8-bit retro styling of the last two Mega Man games to deliver a truly new experience. Even though the team at Capcom is pushing the series forward, there's still a pretty familiar feel to the gameplay we've seen so far and it's pretty exciting to see something genuinely new for the franchise after such a long break.
Release date: Q2/Q3 | Xbox One, PS4, PC The brains behind the excellent RollerCoaster Tycoon and the also excellent but legally-different-because-we-don't-have-the-IP-any-more Planet Coaster is delivering this mashup of their theme park management sims and the Jurassic Park/World movies. Naturally, that means building your own Jurassic World theme park – and presumably presiding over it also being a huge failure as all the dinosaurs escape and eat your guests. Quite how the game will balance these two diametrically opposed goals will be interesting to see, but honestly nothing more really matters than being able to make your own Jurassic Park…
Release date: Q4 | Xbox One, PS4, PC Announced at last year's E3, Anthem is EA's definitive answer to Activision and Bungie's Destiny. Though it's probably fair to say that Bioware's experience also lends to a somewhat deeper, more Mass-Effect style, single player experience that we expect to also see borne out in the game, the key thing for EA is the Destiny-style multiplayer world that will continue to grow beyond release. Fans of Destiny should absolutely be watching out for Anthem's release at the end of this year, while fans of BioWare's other games will probably be hoping for a bit of a redemption arc following last year's disappointing Mass Effect Andromeda. Anthem's aim is not only to be the game of the year in 2018, but to keep delivering into 2019 and beyond, so it's absolutely one to watch regardless.
Release date: 2018| Xbox One, PS4, PC This quirky open world RPG promises an entire world of customisation, not only with your character's initial look and loadout, but by mutating your character throughout the game to change their abilities. Uniquely, the game is told entirely through a narrator's disembodied voice – and yet features branching storylines and a wealth of player choice in almost every element of the game. The team putting it together is comprised mostly of former Just Cause developers, so there's a significant pedigree for the madcap action combat in the game too.
And more to come…
We're only a couple weeks into this year, so it's fair to say we don't even know about half of the major games yet to come throughout the rest of it. There's quite a lot to be excited for on the Switch side of things, with a new Fire Emblem, a new Ace Attorney and a new main-series Pokémon game all coming to the console in theory at some point this year. Meanwhile, there are reports that Forza Horizon developers Playground Games' big new open world RPG project is actually a new Fable game due out on the Xbox One this year. The previously mentioned Avengers games from Square Enix will not only break cover at last some point this year, but are supposedly due to start coming out by the end of it. We'll have a better picture of what to expect the rest of the year by E3, but with all of the games above already on the table it's shaping up to be yet another exciting year to pad out your list of shame with.

Founder, Lotus Entreprenehrship Corporation. This book provides an invaluable comprehensive framework for innovation-driven entrepreneurs wntrepreneurship execute the business planning etrepreneurship.
It breaks down the necessary processes into an integrated, comprehensive, and proven step framework that any industrious person can learn and apply. The book was primarily written as a coursebook for the author's entrepreneurship course at MIT. That being said, after having worked through the steps in this book to launch Lark, I realize that some structure is very valuable.
Interestingly, and unlike other books on the topic, the first few steps urges you to start with the customer in mind I met Bill Aulet during an executive program in MIT.
Like Bill, this book rocks! You can follow every discipllined in this book meticulously and still fail. After reading half of the book, I had to stop.
The author seemed like he was very conceited of himself and MIT, which was something I didn't like about the book. I thought I was going to get a Peter Drucker, classic management book about the discipline and work ethic of successful entrepreneurs of all types.
It won't be an easy journey, but Bill entrepfeneurship you through the steps, acts as your guide, and makes it all manageable.

Many believe that entrepreneurship cannot be taught, but great entrepreneurs aren't born with something special – they simply make great products. Just a moment while we sign you in to your Goodreads account. So, I stopped reading because I am going to give it to someone else SO, two things: Read Disciplined Entrepreneurship to understand structured, academic steps for building minimum viable products.
It seemed informative, but I was still a little disappointed that some aspects of creating and developing the product and finding manufacturers was not mentioned.
This book provides enough guidance to help you succeed but not too much to stifle creativity.

JVP: Sri Lanka moving towards Kosovo-type situation
Comparing the situation in Sri Lanka with the State of Kosovo before it declared independence, Weerawanse, parliamentary group leader the Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) and the general secretary of the National Patriotic Movement at a press briefing held Wednesday said that the situations are similar, and that the damaging report by Ms Louis Arbor, High Commission of the UN Human Rights on Kosovo paved the way for Kosovo independence, media sources said.
The Sri Lanka government led by President Mahinda Rajapakse should immediately abandon the idea of implementing the 13th amendment to the constitution devolving power on racial basis with police and judiciary powers. Mr.Rajapakse was voted to power at the last presidential election not to devolve power on ethnic basis, Mr.Wimal Weerawanse said.
Sri Lanka's future is at cross roads due to contradictory foreign policy of the present government. On one side President Mahinda Rajapakse visited Iran, and the Prime Minister is currently on a visit to Israel. A day would come when no country in the world would support Sri Lanka at a time of crisis, Mr.Wimal Weerawanse added.
Implementation of 13th amendment with police and judiciary powers would certainly lead to a separate state in the island, said Dr.Gunadasa Samarasekara, President of the National Patriotic Movement.


Mythical figures are more than fantasy: they have their own politics. They dramatise issues of social importance and they can change to interpret new contexts and concerns.
In The Politics of Myth, Stephen Knight studies nine figures still vividly alive, all of them appearing in twenty-first century film and television. Analysing how they relate to the major themes of power, resistance and knowledge, he shows how fact and fiction interweave to help us explore and understand the complexities of our world.
Myths shift with time: Robin Hood can be a tough anti-authoritarian, a genial aristocrat, a Saxon patriot; Queen Elizabeth I has been seen as a Protestant heroine, a love-lorn lady, even a grumpy manipulator. From Merlin's multiple manifestations and Sherlock Holmes's smoking habits to the ongoing arguments about Ned Kelly, this book explores the richness and the range of figures of myth.
