Ра́са ( букв. «сок растений»; в переносном смысле «лучший, сильнейший» ) — санскритское богословское понятие, используемое в традициях Кришна-бхакти, в частности в гаудия-вайшнавизме.

Термин использовался по крайней мере за 2 тыс. лет до кришнаитских учителей Нимбарки и Чайтаньи, во фразе «Веданта-сутры», которую часто цитируют последователи Чайтаньи: «Воистину, Господь есть раса» (raso vai sah). В этом ведийском афоризме Бог представляется как верховный наслаждающийся духовной расой или духовным блаженством, духовными эмоциями. В XVI веке гаудия-вайшнавский богослов Рупа Госвами под непосредственным руководством Чайтаньи сформулировал богословие расы: «определённые взаимоотношения души с Богом в любви и преданности».

Тексты Рупы Госвами в основном базируются на теории расы, сформулированной основоположником санскритской драматургии, или «Натьяшастры» (которая предположительно датируется II веком до н. э.). Эти взаимоотношения с Богом в духе любви и преданности, раса, очень близки к различным вариациям любовных чувств, испытываемых людьми друг к другу.

Расы делятся на низшие и высшие. В «Бхагавадгите» (11.44) Арджуна упоминает три наиболее возвышенные расы — супружеские, дружеские и родительские взаимоотношения.

Раса в гаудия-вайшнавизме
В гаудия-вайшнавизме понятие раса представляет собой многообразие духовных отношений живого существа и Кришны. Наиболее полно учение о расе представлено в труде «Бхакти-расамрита-синдху» («Океан бессмертного нектара бхакти») Рупы Госвами и «Чайтанья-чаритамрите» — работе Кришнадасы Кавираджи Госвами. Бхактиведанта Свами Прабхупада написал литературное изложение «Бхакти-расамрита-синдху», в котором понятие раса определяется как «определённые взаимоотношения, вкус которых очень сладок». Основное отличие расы «любовного преданного служения Богу», или бхакти-расы, от материальных взаимоотношений состоит в том, что она рассматривается как вечная, а её полнота, глубина и многообразие сравниваются с океаном. Говорится, что «нектары рас, вкушаемые различными бхактами, многообразны, однако все эти сладостные расы имеют ашраю ("воспринимающий" — сам индивидуум) и вишаю ("объект восприятия" — Кришна)».

Понятие расы также широко используется в индийском искусствоведении. Согласно одной из точек зрения, учение о расах в традиции гаудия-вайшнавизма было заимствовано из античной индийской поэзии и драматургии. Однако отмечается существенное метафизическое содержание этого понятия в учении гаудия-вайшнавизма, отвечающее сиддханте (основному выводу) классических ведийских текстов. Так, в «Тайттирия-упанишаде» Брахман определяется как раса ваи сах («Он определённо является источником расы»). В комментаторской традиции гаудия-вайшнавизма (Рупа Госвами, Джива Госвами, Вишванатха Чакраварти) выделены двенадцать рас:

 пять основных:
 шанта — нейтральные отношения
 дасья — отношения служения
 сакхья — дружеские отношения
 ватсалья — родительские отношения
 мадхурья — супружеские отношения

 и семь дополнительных:
 хасья — смех
 адбхута — изумление
 вира — доблесть
 каруна — сострадание
 раудра — гнев
 бибхатса — ревность
 бхая — испуг

Согласно учению гаудия-вайшнавизма, полная реализация этих взаимоотношений возможна только на уровне мокши. Упрощённое перенесение материальных, а также безличных представлений в область духовного бытия определяется понятием раса-бхаса («искажение», «имитация» взаимоотношений), а соответствующие учения — сахаджия. Материальное восприятие мира, в определенном смысле, также можно рассматривать как раса-бхасу, как искажение первоначального духовного восприятия, сосредоточенного на личности Бога, эгоцентрической установкой дживы. Как материальный мир сравнивается с баньяновым деревом, корни которого расположены вверху, а ствол и ветви — внизу, подобно отражению реального дерева в воде, так и материальный «вкус» рассматривается как искажённое отражение истинного «вкуса», формируемое соприкосновением живого существа с гунами материальной природы: добродетелью (саттва), страстью (раджас) и невежеством (тамас).

Whether or not you agree with the legalization of Marijuana sales, it's hard to argue with the stats that are coming out of the front runner state of Colorado. They are boasting sales of recreational marijuana at $19 million in the month of March alone.
Not only are the sales bringing in huge revenue, numbers that continue to climb, but they are putting the money to good use too. $1.9 million of this has gone towards building up the school systems throughout Colorado.
What's better that selling pot to boost schools? Officials are saying that since marijuana sales were legalized in Colorado, crime rates have dropped 10 percent!

This Black Dresswear suit is ideal for any Black Tie event. With a bold peak lapel and single button front it will make a statement in all of the right ways. The jacket features internal and external pockets and excellent attention to detail. The trousers likewise feature contrast edging around the side pockets and an additional hip pocket.
"Very happy with quality of trousers"
"Wonderful value for money, just wish I purchased two pairs!!"
"Initial appearance suit looks good."
"Amazing service. Arrived the next day, just in time for my son's prom. Thank you"


The holiday season is upon us again. With Halloween behind us and Thanksgiving looming, may I suggest the practice of Metta Meditation in Life. Touch into yourself, closing your eyes if there is the opportunity, careful not to create disconnection from the person in front of yourself, express Metta to yourself, "May I be peaceful." Then, looking at the person in front of you, express Metta for them, "May you be peaceful." Back and forth. This fosters mindfulness of self and mindfulness of others. If you can track how your experience of the other affects you, and how you their experience of you affects them, you will be in attunement to them. When we are attuned, we feel seen, understood, accepted, and loved. When we misattune or are misattuned to, we feel to opposite. Pay attention to who you can attune to in the whirl of the holiday gatherings, so when you need to connect, you know where to go. If no one is available in the flesh, use the phone. This is the time for gathering, so gather and enjoy!!
The "Exploration!!" classes with Ben Smith at the Red Door in West Hollywood have been going great!! We are focusing on defining what makes life meaningful from a skills perspective. Looking through the attachment lens, there are three main drivers of meaningfulness. The first is having people that you feel safe with, that will make space for you when you feel threatened. The second, is that you have people that you can provide safe haven for, that you can take care of. And the third, is that you have people who will encourage you to explore what is meaningful to you, and who will welcome you back from your explorations with interest to find out what you found out. That opens up the whole "how do I maintain functional relationships" can of worms. (Different from the can of worms you go eat in the corner by yourself.) Then, how do I find a way for me and my group to make our way in the world. The conversation is getting interesting, please come. Reserve your spot here!
Mettagroup's Winter Retreat at Seven Circles is still happening. The horrendous wild fires burning in so many places are thankfully nowhere near the retreat center. I am very excited to return to the wilderness for 10 days of deep practice. We still have some spaces available, please join us. Register here.
I would like to introduce you to David Kriegel, who is joining Mettagroup as the Scheduling Coordinator. He will be handling the calendar going forward. If you have mentoring, IPF and/or supervision sessions you need to reschedule, in other words, for all things calendar related, please connect with David at: scheduling@mettagroup.org.
Speaking of scheduling, here's something new!! Mettagroup is now offering single mentoring sessions. If you would like to talk with me about your practice on an as needed basis, you can set up a session by contacting David at scheduling@mettagroup.org or calling the office at 213-378-0489.
Keep in mind, that if you are unable to maintain a daily practice on your own, support may be the solution. Go live with Mettagroup's Morning Meditation, 7:30 to 7:55am PT with Vipassana practice on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and Metta practice on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Read more here.
Or if you are the type that really prefers an ATM to an actual bank teller, then the Brightmind app and your phone is the way to go. If you haven't already tried Brightmind, the only meditation app based on Shinzen Young's teaching, with Shin himself guiding meditation, here is a link for that.
However you decide to go, happy practice!!
I'm very happy to announce a new drop-in class with Ben Smith called, "Exploration!" on Monday nights at 7:30pm at The Red Door in West Hollywood. I'll talk meditation, attachment conditioning as reflected in our individual capacities to explore what is meaningful, and Ben will cover the how-to of entrepreneurship to integrate meaningful work into a whole life. The classes are designed to provide instruction and support in meditation practice, instruction in how attachment conditioning shapes exploration, and with plenty of time to cover the how-tos of creating an entrepreneurial business and making it thrive.
We will use Dan Brown's Three Pillars approach for attachment repair: Ideal Parent Figure protocol for reparenting, developing of mentalizing, and developing our collaborative capabilities. As the human condition would have it, these three skills are essential to the practice of entrepreneurship. I think the synergy between these two worlds will be amazing. Please join us - RSVP here!
Karma has a way of unfolding that is often unpredictable. For instance, some of you may remember a teaching on generosity I have offered may times.
You keep a dollar bill with you, and if you notice an opportunity to give it away, you do so mindfully, tracking your cognitive and emotional experience of generosity. Simple practice. Years ago, I was having lunch at a sideway café in (I am remembering Beverly Hills, but memory is unreliable) with Remi Kessler, marvelous Frenchman and documentarian. A homeless man approached the table asking for money, and I practiced generosity. Remi was so intrigued by this practice that he began a journey exploring the origins of homeless and our collective response to it. That exploration has resulted in a new documentary, The Advocates. Here is a link for conversation with Remi relaying his experiences coming to understand this terrible ongoing failure of our culture. The film premieres in theaters tomorrow, Friday, October 19th. Please look for it!
Meditators often have found themselves wanting to have a daily meditation practice, but almost everything else in the world gets in the way of that ever @#$%ing happening. In our interweb connected, digital, phone-centered lives there is almost always an app for that. Shinheads of the world rejoice!! If you haven't already tried Brightmind, a meditation app based on Shinzen Young's teaching, with Shin himself guiding meditation, consider the possibility of inaugurating your new daily meditation habit. (Try it, you'll like it.) Here is the link try try Brightmind.
As Halloween is fast approaching and all that masked abandon is now the de facto start of the Holiday season, I think it is important to begin considering retreat for a silent New Year's celebration. I point this out because Mettagroup is offering our Winter Retreat at Seven Circles Retreat Center in the Sierra Nevadas. Nothing quite rings in the New Year like supermarket cake, a cold Martinelli's, and enlightenment. Book your spot here.
I hope everyone is happy and well. Mettagroup is excited to announce two new trainings for the fall of 2017: the Idealized Parent Figure Work Group, and Facilitation and Mentoring Training for our long-running intensives The Meaningful Life and Meditation Interventions for the Addiction Process.
The Idealized Parent Figure (IPF) protocol is adapted from the Tibetan Mahamudra meditation practice by Daniel P. Brown et al, and is designed to repair attachment disturbances in adults. During the therapy, students imagine ideal relationships with ideal attachment figures replacing the actual relationship experiences with their actual attachment figures, updating their insecure attachment strategies with a secure working model of self and others.
In delivering IPF to students, Mettagroup will develop three levels of care. Basic IPF will be included in first level curricula of The Meaningful Life (TML) and Meditation Interventions for the Addiction Process (MIAP) led by Mettagroup facilitators/mentors. As practice deepens, students will be supported psychologically by licensed psychotherapists in addition to Mettagroup facilitators/mentors. Some students may require a higher level of care than a Mettagroup facilitator and/or psychotherapist can provide, so a third level of additional support by licensed psychiatrists will be available as needed. Facilitators/mentors, psychotherapists and psychiatrists working with Mettagroup will need to have a practical understanding of the TML/MIAP curricula, including a developed meditation practice, and a working knowledge of IPF.
At Mettagroup, we feel very strongly that the IPF protocol should be widely available to people living with attachment disturbance, so we do not wish to restrict dissemination of IPF training to people only interested in the TML/MIAP approaches. To that end, we have divided the training into two groups.
The IPF Protocol Work Group will train practitioners to use IPF, and provide ongoing support. Members will learn IPF by doing, and will be expected to both facilitate IPF for a member of the group and to receive IPF facilitation from a member of the group. Dan Brown will support the training during a two-hour video conference call every four to six weeks. Training in how to use the Adult Attachment Interview, and scoring services will be available to members. The group is open to TML/MIAP facilitators/mentors, licensed psychotherapists and psychiatrists. The group will be ongoing, and supported by member's monthly dues.
In addition, Mettagroup will offer an Attachment Theory and Meditation Basics course for therapists and psychiatrists who are interested in engaging this work but may not feel informed enough on the concepts and language of mindfulness meditation (and how it relates to attachment theory) to jump right into a work group. If you're interested in this course, follow this link and fill out the form to get in touch.
Mettagroup's Facilitator and Mentoring Training is a continuation and expansion of our existing mentoring training program that many of you may be familiar with. Focused on our signature intensives, The Meaningful Life and Meditation Interventions for the Addiction Process, it will have a special emphasis on teaching MIAP in treatment centers. The new format reflects the extensive expansion of these courses.
TML has been expanded to five levels of training, each in a six-month module. MIAP is offered in a 12-week, 36 class intensive outpatient format, and a six-month intensive post-acute treatment training. Students working with MIAP move to TML after stabilizing in their recovery from process and substance addictions. Meditation Mentoring training is a central part of our strategy. Students in the TML/MIAP Facilitator and Mentoring training will be supported in teaching classes, and working with mentees.
I hope that we have peaked your interest. We are gathering names and contact information for those interested in these trainings. Please follow the links above to fill out the forms on our website and if you have questions, please feel free to call our office at 213-378-0489 to set up a time to speak with me directly.
Captured on Facebook Live, George gives a cohesive overview of the Meditation Interventions for the Addiction Process program. Read more about the program here.
Followed by the correlating meditations that are suggested.
See this phrase in bracelet form here.
Begin to meditate all the time. With others, deepen your attunement. Focus on their eyes, sync up to the human exchange that is happening.
George discusses his own path to sobriety - a journey he began 38 years ago, which ultimately led to meditation. If you or somebody you care about is dealing with addiction, meditation is a valuable tool worth exploring.


This Super P was custom spec'd by our good friend and customer Mark Lumpkin down in Tyler, Texas. What I like about this bass is that it flat-out grabs your attention. Like it or not, most of the people in an audience are not musicians and couldn't care less if your bass is older than their date or a relic job made to look that way. I'm pretty sure they'll care about this bass though.
We're really liking the wenge/wenge neck combination lately for it's snappy response and tone. Normally you would only see this on a modern style bass. I think it looks really cool on the more traditional Super J though.
Here's a great new video by Haken. This is the first time I've ever seen a Muppet playing one of our basses. Cool! Great song too.
Alessandro Stellano is a HOT Jazz bassist from Italy. He's put together a video demonstrating the wide range of tones available on our ABZ bass. He is truly an amazing player. Thank you Alessandro.

Q: Удаление элементов листбокса при клике на кнопку Имеется ListBox, в котором в шаблоне, объединенные в StackPanel, находятся Label и две кнопки, одна из них невидима. Как сделать так, что бы при нажатии на одну кнопку на 10 секунд появлялась вторая, а при нажатии на нее удалялась та строчка ListBox'а, к которой принадлежит эта кнопка?
P.S. Не привожу код ListBox'а, ибо он тут не нужен. (Если я ошибаюсь, и он тут нужен, то приложу)

A: Это делается не на уровне View, а на уровне VM.
На уровне VM у вас есть класс ItemVM, и в нём что-то такое:
class ItemVM : NotifyPropertyChangedImpl
{
    RelayCommand deleteCommand
    public ICommand DeleteCommand => deleteCommand;
    public ICommand EnableDeleteCommand { get; }

    public ItemVM(Action<ItemVM> onDelete)
    {
        deleteCommand = new RelayCommand(() => onDelete(this)) { IsEnabled = false };
        EnableDeleteCommand = new RelayCommand(OnEnable);
    }

    async void OnEnable()
    {
        deleteCommand.IsEnabled = true;
        await Task.Delay(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10));
        deleteCommand.IsEnabled = true;
    }
}

Ну и главная VM:
class MainVM : NotifyPropertyChangedImpl
{
    public ObservableCollection<ItemVM> Items { get; } = new ObservableCollection<ItemVM>();

    void OnDelete(ItemVM itemVM) => Items.Remove(itemVM);

    public MainVM()
    {
        Items.Add(new ItemVM(OnDelete));
    }
}

На уровне View стилизуйте кнопку удаления так, чтобы она не показывалась, если command.IsEnabled == false.

Q: Transform XML into a data frame I'm looking for a simple and efficient way to transform XML datas as a data.frame (but not all the elements though).
I have this file : http://www-sop.inria.fr/members/Philippe.Poulard/projet/2013/entries_hotels.xml
I used xpathSApply, but that's bad because it doesn't conserve the null elements.
In the file some latitudes are empty, but with xpathSApply I can't know which hotels have an empty latitude element because they are ignored.
I found the xmlToList function, and it's nice with XML because it's prety the same structure (it avoid to have many NULL values in a data frame).
But now I have 2 problems :
If I want to create a data frame from this list with an exhausting list of elements and keep the NULLs elements, how can i do ?
I did this but NULLs aren't kept in my vector :
library(XML)
hotels <- "http://www-sop.inria.fr/members/Philippe.Poulard/projet/2013/entries_hotels.xml"
list <- xmlToList(hotels)
latitudes.hotels <- c()
for(element in list) {latitudes.hotels <- c(latitudes.hotels, element$latitude)}

And my second problem is that if I want to work directly with my list, the problem is that all the names are the sames : "entry".
Then I wonder how I can acces to the entry with the Id equals to x for example, which(list$entry$ID == x).
I can do it with the same type of vector than above
ids.hotels <- c()
for(element in list) {ids.hotels <- c(ids.hotels, element$ID)}
list[[which(ids.hotels == x)]]

But I think there is a better way to do it, and it's wrong if one ID element is empty in my XML file.
Thank you for any help

A: I'm not familiar with the XML package, however you can extract elements using base functions and can retain the missing longitude/latitude.
lst <- xmlToList(hotels)

ll <- lapply(1:150 , function(z)
                c(id=lst[[z]][['ID']],name=lst[[z]][['name_fr']],
                lat=lst[[z]][['latitude']],long=lst[[z]][['longitude']]))

library(plyr)
df <- rbind.fill(
            lapply(ll,function(y){as.data.frame(t(y),stringsAsFactors=FALSE)}))

Got the rbind.fill from here: do.call(rbind, list) for uneven number of column
Also whereas all the names of the list are 'entry' eg using  names(lst[1]) for the first, you can get the names by names(lst[[1]])

The Best Ideas to Avoid Crashes Caused by High Drivers
Massachusetts is now among 10 states that have legalized cannabis for recreational use. While this is good news for many residents, it raises safety concerns when it comes to users getting behind the wheel.
Cannabis, like alcohol, can cause impairments that can make driving dangerous. The tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in cannabis can cause delays in reaction time, as well as inhibit drivers' judgment, motor coordination, concentration, and ability to perceive time and distance. Drivers under the influence of cannabis are susceptible to distraction, falling asleep behind the wheel, and failing to read signs and signals.
How prevalent is driving while high?
Researchers from the University of Michigan Addiction Center studied the prevalence of cannabis impairment and driving among patients who used medical marijuana and sought to obtain certification or recertification in 2014 and 2015.
When asked about their driving habits within the past six months, about one in five respondents reported driving while under the influence of cannabis. In addition, 56 percent of respondents said they got behind the wheel within two hours of using cannabis. Among those who admitted to driving under the influence, 51 percent admitted to being mildly high and 21 percent admitted to being very high.
Traffic deaths spike in states with legal cannabis
According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), road deaths temporarily increased by one additional fatality per one million people in Colorado, Oregon, and Washington after the three states legalized marijuana.
In addition, neighboring states experienced 170 more fatalities than usual within the six months after cannabis become legal. The traffic fatality rates then began to dip after a year in those states. The IIHS suggests inexperienced use of cannabis may be a factor in the temporary spike in traffic fatalities.
Unlike the states in the IIHS study, Massachusetts didn't see a spike in road deaths. In fact, there were 350 fatalities in 2017. This marked a slight decrease from 2016, which saw 389 deaths. Recreational cannabis become officially legal in December 2016, but there is no evidence that it was a factor in the greater number of traffic fatalities for that year.
What we do know is, mixing cannabis use with driving is a dangerous combination, but determining if a driver was high at the time of a crash may be difficult. Blood tests are ineffective, as THC can remain in a user's system for week's after cannabis use. There may be other tell-tale signs, such as bloodshot eyes, the smell of marijuana, and visible impairment.
If you or a loved one was injured in a crash with a driver who was under the influence of cannabis, it's best to speak to an experienced Massachusetts auto accident attorney as soon as possible. Contact the Law Offices of Mark E. Salomone today to schedule your free case evaluation.

Air Liquide brings new nitrogen liquefier online in Texas
Air Liquide Industrial US has announced it has commissioned a new nitrogen liquefier at its air separation plant in Cleburne, Texas to further support growth in the Texas and Oklahoma industrial gas markets.
The liquefier, the second of two now in operation at the Cleburne facility, has recently begun commercial production. The increased capacity will enable Air Liquide to increase its supply of liquid nitrogen to customers in a range of industries, including food and beverage, manufacturing, glass, electronics, oil and gas, and chemicals.
To support the increased production capacity, Air Liquide plans to increase its workforce in Cleburne by one-third over a two-year period, hiring as many as 21 permanent employees, including production technicians and truck drivers. Additionally, the construction of the new liquefier created 80 construction jobs.
"We are very pleased to announce the start-up of our new nitrogen liquefier in Cleburne," said Mark Lostak, president of Air Liquide Industrial US.
"This facility expansion enables us to meet the growing demands of the industrial gas market in this region, while also supporting job creation and economic growth in the City of Cleburne and Johnson County. We are proud to be a member of this community, and we look forward to strengthening our presence here in a safe and sustainable way."
Air Liquide's air separation facility in Cleburne has been operational since January of 1998, producing oxygen, nitrogen and argon for a multitude of industries.
Air Liquide companies in the US employ about 5,000 employees in over 200 locations, and offers industrial gases, equipment and related services.

Florence: Renaissance and smart future When you hear Uffizi, Accademia and David what do you think about? Florence, for sure. For its old history, breathtaking painting, sculpture, and architecture.
Making co-owned buildings energy efficient: a EU lab in Rome Some 15.4 % of the EU population reported that they live in dwellings with a leaking roof, damp walls, floors or foundations, rot in the window frames or the floor. And some 8.7 % are unable to keep their home warm enough.
Smart buildings: predictive maintenance is crucial Maintenance represents the bulk of the costs occurring in a building's life.
The "washing machines" district smartens up to halve energy consumption Less than three years ago, the so called " Lavatrici " district in Genoa (literally, "washing machines" in Italian) was in poor shape: infiltration, heat dispersion, energy waste.
Social impact of green crowdfunding There is growing interest in crowdfunding as an alternative way to support projects focused on renewables. This comes at a time when the green energy sector is feeling the purse strings tighten in many European countries.
Challenging energy renovation of buildings Energy consumption in the construction sector is a key issue in the fight against climate change. It is often approached when planning new buildings, but there is little tendency to renovate the existing stock .
Green living: encouraging investors to go retro Just because your home was built in the 1950s or 60s doesn't mean it can't be green. Retrofitting – the process of modernising properties using the latest technologies – can save energy and reduce CO 2 emissions.
Smart buildings: energy efficiency at what price? Smart buildings appear to respond to a range of energy challenges found in Europe today. Improved efficiency would help consumers reduce income spent on energy consumption, reduce greenhouse emissions and also help EU countries meet the goals of the 2030 energy strategy .
Fitting hot and cold climates into the "envelope" Buildings account for 36% of CO 2 emissions in Europe, and energy consumption in this sector has increased in recent decades.
A raincoat for our houses Today, one of the new challenges for the construction industry is the use of textiles, coming from the clothing and footwear industries.
Supergrids: the challenging comeback of direct current Today the challenge is to enable better transmission from one country to another while reducing CO 2 with efficient links between renewable energy and the grid.
Italian cities: not only beautiful, now they want to be smart Italy is famous all over the world for its historical cities, but their beauty is not enough anymore. They want to be smart. Two of the experimental forerunners developing energy efficiency measures are Udine and Salerno .


John Singer Sargent's Gassed (1919)– I've seen it twice, last fall at the Frist's WWI & American Art exhibit and, more memorably, in 2012 at the Imperial War Museum in London. The Olympics were on, and service men and women were being allowed into many of the events for free, so you saw lots of them in the city that summer. One guy in uniform at the IWM I particularly recall, because he stood in front of this painting for quite a while. I thought of that moment today, on the anniversary of the end of the Great War.
Sargent's painting captures the horror of Owens' poem, as well as the allegory in Bruegel. There's much to look at, and one of the most interesting details is the off-duty soldiers in the background playing football– a grim reference, perhaps, to the quote attributed to Wellington that "the battle of Waterloo was won on the playing fields of Eton." Gassed is an enormous work of art, 7.5 x 20 ft, and the soldier whom I saw that day at the IWM studied every inch of it. I was tempted to start up a conversation with him, but it seemed to me that he deserved to be alone with his thoughts and this masterpiece. Still, I would have liked to know what was going through his mind.

The Tall Ships Youth Trust:
Dedicated to the personal development of young people aged 12 to 25, through the crewing of ocean-going sail training vessels for over 60 years, Tall Ships Youth Trust are the UK's original sail training charity.
As a youth charity, they provide funding to help young people get on board and realise their full potential. Annually thousands of young people who sail with the Trust go on to a life, fully prepared for adulthood, with life lessons and memories to last a lifetime.
Over 100,000 trainees have sailed, over a million nautical miles on their fleet through the years. All of the vessels are operated to the same high standards e.g. the same safeguarding and child protection policy, code of conduct, drug and alcohol policy; the same rigorous recruitment and screening of prospective volunteers. Sailing as part of a Tall Ships crew makes for a participative and empowering experience and provides a unique, physically and mentally challenging residential setting in which young people can explore their true potential. The experiences and achievements on board act as a catalyst to improve self-esteem and inspiration in these young people.
