peace and love to EVERYONE on the road to CIVILITY - i hope the art that has been created by this soul touches your soul too. Let it help facilitate more love - inspiration - learning of everyday adversity & the creating of beauty out of anguish, finding the conscious soul of nature etc.
The art i have created is therapy for me, and i hope it helps others as well❗ i hope to be on my journey to a Ph.D. in Art Therapy so that i can help other Veterans who also have PTSD.
So in the interim to becoming an Art Therapist, I hope I will see success in finding my art in millions of homes across these United states � for which I did my part to ensure democracy for - but all around the world, which i also advocate the same freedoms and dreams as that which we hope for here. i have shared some links in the blog section of my page, so if you don't wish to purchase art now, but you may still wish to help me on my journey, please then look 8/29 Blog, and other Blogs to get an idea of who i am.
Most all the art is based on love. Some of the pieces are done in variations of color and texture, because we are all different, and like a variety, so, some U should look at closely if you think therethere are 2 � of the same piece , they are likely different when looking at them individually instead of a thumb nail. Primarily, it is love amongst adversity, and the entity of love we are in good times as well as despite the bad or horrific times. This art is EVERYDAY Valentines, it is more than just romantic art, it is about who we were, who we are, and who we are becoming. Some people love naturally, some people work at it, and some people have not yet fully realized the potential of their love for some reason or another.
There is also a hope that the Art here will be beheld for the nature of the art, the story of the art, and hopefully - this art encourages, inspires, nurtures, and gives hope to our world for a broader road to CIVILITY.
It is this same civility that i yearn to share, through the grappling of severe trauma that has affected me severely - to the point of many years of undiagnosed PTSD and severe depression. Civility that comes in the hands of truth, the integrity to that truth, which is responsibility not only of the person facing a situation, but those who created the situation through dishonesty and/or (what we know as) evil practices *(to say the least). It is the hope of civility unto ourselves, when we are ready to give up or worse... that we hopefully have some of the love that we typically give so freely to others, that we now have it available for ourselves. This civility will allow for us to love at our greatest, when we love ourselves in the greatest possible health... this, what the artist is working on, may be the hardest task for some of us... to love ourselves, especially when loving, hoping, nurturing, etc. has come so easy when it comes to others.
peace and love to all, please be Civil, Love yourself - that you be the fullest realized person loving in this world!
many have inspired me to share my art, after years of not being able to do anything for myself, my PCC therapist & many friends told me, the art was excellent, etc., and that i should share my art... .
My dream Career has always been about helping people, for this is my spirit, and i aim to go back to the University to earn a Ph.D. in art therapy. i don't know how soon i - maybe 2 years - time to find stability i hope.
please also, after you are done book marking all the art you want now, or in the future, Please see my Blogs (located in top row) which shows other activities i am doing, and contributions that can be made for stabilization - which in turn will enable me to ART more - with materials i have not yet been able to realize , on projects that ruminate in this space address of the brain, heart and Universal Soul.
pending on how it all goes, there is much anticipation that there will be much more to come - this is still the artist's first year in public (media) showing - doing it all his self, if there are other ways you wish to contribute, please send kenneth james a message.
maybe comment in every language in the world.
hopefully - people from every nation will get my art - and together we make and spread civility - and hopefully, one day, i shall be able to personally start to share all around the world.

Alexander Miles
Alexander Miles was an African-American inventor who was best known for being awarded a patent for an automatically opening and closing elevator door design in 1887. Contrary to many sources, Miles was not the original inventor of this device. In 1874, 13 years before Miles' patent was awarded, John W. Meaker was awarded U.S. Patent 147,853 for the invention of the first automatic elevator door system.
Alexander Miles was born in 1838 in Duluth, Minnesota. He moved to Waukesha, Wisconsin where he earned a living as a barber in the 1860s. After a move to Winona, Minnesota in 1870, he met his wife, Candace J. Dunlap, a white woman born in New York City in 1834. Together they had a daughter named Grace who was born in April 1879. Shortly after her birth, the family relocated to Duluth, Minnesota.
While in Duluth, Alexander operated a barbershop in the four-story St. Louis Hotel and purchased a real estate office. His wife found work as a dress maker. Miles became the first black member of the Duluth Chamber of Commerce. In 1884, Miles built a three-story brownstone building at 19 West Superior Street in Duluth. This area became known as the Miles Block. It was at this time that Miles was inspired to work on elevator door mechanisms.
While riding in an elevator in with his young daughter, Alexander Miles saw the risk associated with an elevator shaft door carelessly left ajar. This led him to draft his design for automatically opening and closing elevator doors and apply for a patent. When the elevator would arrive or depart from a given floor, the doors would move automatically. Previously, the opening and closing of the doors of both the shaft and the elevator had to be completed manually by either the elevator operator or by passengers, contributing greatly to the hazards of operating an elevator.
Miles attached a flexible belt to the elevator cage, and when the belt came into contact with drums positioned along the elevator shaft just above and below the floors, it allowed the elevator shaft doors to operate at the appropriate times. The elevator doors themselves were automated through a series of levers and rollers.
Before working on elevator engineering, Miles experimented with the creation of hair products. The influence of his elevator patent is still seen in modern designs, since the automatic opening and closing of elevator and elevator shaft doors is a standard feature.
By 1900, Alexander, Candace, and Grace had moved to Chicago. In Chicago, Alexander created an insurance agency with the goal of eliminating discriminatory treatment of blacks. In his own words, Miles stated that insurance companies "persist in holding out discriminative rates to these colored people...". In 1900, it was believed that Alexander Miles was the "wealthiest colored man in the Northwest."
Alexander Miles died sometime after 1905 and was inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 2007.

Phoenix, Arizona Facts and Trivia
United States Arizona Phoenix
All Phoenix
By Judy Hedding
Diana Robinson Photography/Getty Images
Here are some interesting facts about the Phoenix area, along with some trivia about the State of Arizona. Impress your Phoenician friends with these local facts!
Phoenix is not only a city in Arizona, but it is also a city in New York, Maryland, Oregon, and many other states.
At one time, it was illegal to hunt camels in the State of Arizona. Camels were introduced into the desert in the mid-1850s. They were more suited to the climate and could handle carrying more weight than other beasts of burden.
Arizona once had a navy consisting of two boats on the Colorado River. They were used to prevent California from encroaching on Arizona territory.
The name Arizona comes from the Native American word "Arizonac" which means "little spring."
Phoenix averages 211 days of sunshine per year. An additional 85 days per year are only partly cloudy, leaving an average of 69 days of cloudy or rainy days.
The Phoenix airport, called Sky Harbor International Airport, is the ninth busiest airport in the country (2014). The statistic is based on passenger boardings.
South Mountain Park covers more than 16,000 acres, making it one of the largest city-operated parks in the country. The highest point is at Mount Suppoa at 2,690 feet. The highest point accessible to the public (trail or drive) is at Dobbins Point, 2,330 feet. The elevation of Phoenix is 1,124 feet.
A saguaro cactus may take 100 years before it grows an arm. It grows only in the Sonoran Desert—that's where both Phoenix and Tucson are. Saguaros will grow in elevations up to about 4,000 feet. The drive from Phoenix to Payson is a great way to see the changes in desert plants as the elevation climbs. The saguaro cactus flower is the official state flower of Arizona.
There are 11.2 million acres of National Forest in Arizona in six national forests. One-fourth of the state is forested. The largest forest is comprised of Ponderosa Pine.
Tonto National Forest is the largest national forest in Arizona and is the fifth most-visited forest in the United States. Nearly 6 million people visit each year.
A man from Surprise, Arizona caught a catfish at Bartlett Lake that weighed more than 76 pounds.
Someone who lives in Arizona is referred to as an "Arizonan," not an Arizonian.

Q: How to execute function on page? In the following I use this page for testing http://nitroflare.com/view/A71F0994E20F2E0/security-privacy.jpg
The below script clicks on Slow Download and removes the popup ad that shows up after the click.
Instead of clicking on Free Download, which will first popup a window, I want to call its second click function which is
function () {
    $(this).hide();
    $("#CountDownTimerContainer").show();
    startFreeDownload();
}

My script executes $("#CountDownTimerContainer").show() but it doesn't execute startFreeDownload() for some reason.
Question
How can I call startFreeDownload() which is on the page?
// ==UserScript==
// @name        NitroFlare
// @namespace   https://nitroflare.com/
// @description https://nitroflare.com/
// @include     https://nitroflare.com/*
// @version     1
// @grant       none
// @require http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js
// @require https://greasyfork.org/scripts/5392-waitforkeyelements/code/WaitForKeyElements.js?version=115012
// ==/UserScript==

function SkipId(objId){
  var oId = document.getElementById(objId);
  oId.click();
}

window.onload = function(){
  SkipId('slow-download');
};

waitForKeyElements("div.superbox-wrapper", removeSuperbox);

function removeSuperbox() {
  document.getElementById('superbox-wrapper').hide();
}

$("#CountDownTimerContainer").show();
startFreeDownload();

A: document.getElementById returns a DOM node, which doesn't have hide() method.
Either use jQuery manually: $('#superbox-wrapper').hide() or use waitForKeyElements as shown in its example:
function removeSuperbox(jNode) {
  jNode.hide();
}

Also, since you're injecting your own jQuery into the page and use @grant none you may need to use jQuery.noConflict() if the site has its own jQuery.

A: (function (){
    $("#CountDownTimerContainer").show();
    console.log(0);
    startFreeDownload();
})();

function startFreeDownload(){
  console.log(1);
}

Try this It should work for you.

NIOSH All CDC
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)
Utility Company Employee Electrocuted in California While Drilling Under a Road
FACE 85-42
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), Division of Safety Research (DSR) is currently conducting the Fatal Accident Circumstances and Epidemiology (FACE) Project, which is focusing primarily upon selected electrical-related and confined space-related fatalities. By scientifically collecting data from a sample of fatal accidents, it will be possible to identify and rank factors that influence the risk of fatal injuries for selected employees.
On July 18, 1985, crewmen for a gas utility company were using an air-driven machine to drill horizontally under a road to provide new gas line service. One worker was electrocuted and a second was injured when the drill contacted a 4160 volt power line.
Contacts/Activities
Union officials notified the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), Division of Safety Research (DSR) of this fatality and requested technical assistance. This case has been included in the FACE Project. A research team (a nurse and a physician) visited the city where this fatality occurred and met with company and union representatives and OSHA officials. A meeting was held with officials from both unions representing the employees of the utility company. A separate meeting was held with company representatives (the supervisor of employee safety and a member of the industrial relations safety staff). The actual accident site was not visited because substantial changes had occurred to the area since construction had been completed. However, the drilling procedure was observed at another work site. This procedure was photographed by the NIOSH team. A meeting was held at the district OSHA office where the OSHA investigation records were reviewed and discussed with the compliance officer assigned to investigate this fatality. A closing conference was held with representatives of the union.
Overview of Employer's Safety Program
This gas utility company has over five thousand employees who are represented by two separate unions. The company is divided into two major organizational elements: six transmission divisions maintain pipeline operations bringing natural gas to the area; thirteen distribution divisions provide service to residential and commercial consumers. The crewmen involved in this incident worked for one of the forty-seven distribution facilities (under one of the distribution divisions). A crew, consisting of a crew leader and one or two crew assistants, receive formal classroom training prior to working in the field. A crew assistant receives ten days of classroom training concerning field operations and a crew leader has approximately eight weeks of additional classroom work which includes welding and plastic fusion training. The company safety staff consists of two safety supervisors, four safety representatives, and an industrial hygienist (recently hired). There are also six facility safety engineers concerned with safety of existing facilities (meters, equipment, etc.).
All job operations are addressed by three levels of information needed to perform a specific task (i.e., job practices, job procedures, and job instructions) and are written. Job instructions are carried on the crew truck. If questions arise about job instructions, support is obtained from a supervisor at the local distribution facility, who is responsible for safety at the local distribution facility. It is the responsibility of these supervisors to see that all job instructions are followed.
Synopsis of Events
On July 18, 1985, crewmen of a gas utility company were assigned to provide new service to an apartment building that was under construction. The crew consisted of three people, since the procedure to bore underground requires a crew of this size. The crew leader had sixteen years of experience on the job and the victim had four years of experience.
A service line was to be installed to connect an apartment building to the main (which is located under the street). See figure 1image icon. The area had been previously inspected by the crew leader. Telephone and street light electrical utilities were excavated and identified in the parkway. Power to the apartment was supplied by above ground lines. A non-profit organization that is responsible to alert utilities when excavation may affect their equipment had been notified. The local telephone company had marked their lines in response to this notification; however, the underground electric lines had not been marked by the local municipality. The municipality does not routinely mark their underground electric lines.
Partial excavation of the site had been completed by the gas company so that the procedure to bore under the street could take place. A trench had been excavated from the apartment building to the sidewalk. One hole had been dug in the parkway to expose telephone and street light service lines. Another hole had been dug in the street to expose the gas main. Although the crew had the equipment and training to electronically identify other underground metal structures, this was not done because the crew questions the reliability of the equipment currently being used.
The crew was attempting to bore under the sidewalk and under the street to install a service line. The equipment used to bore this hole was an air driven, water-lubricated, low RPM drill with a carbide bit (see figure 2image icon). Pipe extensions are added as required. This equipment is usually operated by two crew members, but is occasionally handled by three when difficulty is encountered. Three attempts to bore a hole under the street were made with the fatality occurring on the third attempt. The first attempt resulted in the drill bit coming up through the street approximately two feet from the hole that exposed the gas main. The second attempt was not successful because resistance was met and the drill could not be advanced. All three crewmen were pushing on the machine during the third attempt because excessive resistance was encountered. A 4160 volt power line, encased in four inches of concrete, was contacted at approximately 2:10 p.m. resulting in one fatality and one serious injury. The third crewman felt a shock in his hands and released the equipment. The crew leader tried to release the equipment and fell to the ground unconscious. He suffered third degree burns on his hands and shoulders. The victim went into convulsions and slumped over the equipment. The victim had burn marks on both hands and the front of his right thigh and was pronounced dead at a local hospital after resuscitation efforts failed.
Excavation of the site done during the post-accident investigation revealed a four inch thick concrete conduit approximately twenty-six inches below the street surface. The concrete was chipped near the top edge (presumably from the first attempt to bore under the street) and another damaged area was noted on a lateral of the conduit (presumably from the second attempt). A hole was found on the lateral side of the conduit where the drill bit pierced the cement and came into contact with the power line. The line was located prior to excavation using the underground metal locating device present on all underground service trucks. (It should be noted that a similar incident occurred in 1983 involving a 110 volt line. No serious injuries occurred.)
The medical examiner determined the cause of death to be electrocution.
Recommendations/Discussion
Recommendation #1: A thorough survey of the job site should be made prior to any excavation or drilling procedures. This should include locating all underground utilities.
Discussion: An organization exists that provides information to all service utilities that excavation is to occur which may involve their equipment. No excavation or drilling procedures should be initiated unless all utilities have marked their service lines. In addition, the underground metal locating device should be used prior to any excavation or drilling procedure to verify that a clear path exists and that all utilities have been identified. A metal locating device that is easier to operate and that more reliably differentiates underground service lines from miscellaneous metallic substances may improve its acceptability among the crew.
Recommendation #2: Drilling procedure instructions should be amended to include excavation and exposure of all service utility lines and to excavate and expose all points of resistance.
Discussion: This particular incident involved three attempts. The second attempt was unsuccessful because resistance was met. The third attempt involved three men pushing on the machine. If the point of resistance had been excavated and exposed, the electrical conduit would have been identified. The gas company has implemented this recommendation.
Recommendation #3: The company's safety program should include hazard recognition and follow-up of previous accidents.
Discussion: As mentioned, a previous incident involving this drilling procedure and contact with a power line occurred in the past (1983). Apparently little or no investigation occurred at the time of this incident. The potential for serious injury and death should have been recognized at the time of this previous incident. Follow-up of all accidents should enable better hazard recognition so preventive measures can be implemented. The establishment of a local health and safety committee, involving both labor and management, should ensure that all accidents are adequately investigated.

Sharekni: Car-pooling app in 5 languages
Sharekni app.
Mattar Al Tayer, Chairman of the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), launches the smart app 'Sharekni'. (Supplied)
Published Sunday, July 12, 2015
Mattar Al Tayer, Director-General and Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors of the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), has launched the smart app 'Sharekni' enabling groups of riders to share vehicles travelling from, and to, their workplaces.
Through this app, individuals can register details of the car-sharing process where relevant permits can be issued electronically.
The app is currently available in Arabic and English, but will soon be available in Chinese, Tagalog and Urdu languages.
"Launching Sharekni app is part of endeavours to materialise the initiative of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, to transform Dubai into the smartest city in the world and make people happier.
"It is also a response to the directives of Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Dubai Crown Prince and Chairman of the Executive Council, who is overseeing the implementation of the initiative," said Al Tayer.
"Through this service, the RTA is seeking to ease snarls in Dubai, especially during peak times, reduce the number of Single Occupancy Vehicles (SOVs), and slash the overall number of vehicles on streets.
"Such a practice will cut the number of kilometres travelled and accordingly the costs of operating vehicles, streamline the use of car parks around workplaces and alleviate the lack of parking slots, and lower pollution and fuel consumption rates associated with the high traffic volumes.
"Benefits of the practice also include easing the psychological and physical pressures associated with driving in congested roads; which in turn will contribute to raising productivity, and cementing the links between community members through the socialisation of carpoolers," said Al Tayer.
He stated that the service had witnessed a steady growth in the number of registered users to as much as 16 per cent in 2014.
He anticipated that the service would leapfrog in the near future given the special rewards and incentives offered by the RTA for users.
Global benchmarking studies of carpooling systems indicate that the number of users usually range from 5-15 per cent of the total number of road users.
However, this rate goes to as high as 30 per cent in places where rewards and incentives are in place.
www.sharekni.ae
The service portal (www.sharekni.ae) has been upgraded, and the smart app has been carefully designed to make it friendly to all community segments.
For instance the newer version simplifies the registration process, enables communication with customers through text messages and e-mails, and allows all holders of driving licenses issued from various emirates of the UAE to sign-in, whereas the previous version was restricted to holders of driving licenses issued from Dubai only.
The new website enables surfers to search for vehicles using a number of variables to fine-tune the search and assist potential riders to achieve their targets.
The added features include saving search results for possible future use which saves users' time, displaying riders and drivers in a map, providing a control panel enabling users to update and display journey and personal details, and offering users the option of normal search or search through maps.
"The app provides details about the vehicle, a specific route, best-rated driver, and the most frequent routes," added the Chairman of the RTA.

Each function provided by the Jaxon\Response\Response class to set the content or the layout of a webpage performs an action on a single element, identified by its id attribute.
The JQuery PHP API allows the developer to use the same selectors as the jQuery library, and therefore can apply a fonction simultaneously to multiple elements in a webpage, selected using various criteria.
Armada brings to the Jaxon library an ease of use and features inspired by PHP frameworks.
When using Armada, the Jaxon application bootstraps from a single configuration file, and its classes inherit automatically from a rich set of functionalities.
Armada is also coupled with Sentry, which provides a common API across all the frameworks integration packages.

Home » Opinion » Javier Solana » America's comeback tour
Jun 26,2021 - Last updated at Jun 26,2021
MADRID — US President Joe Biden's first international tour felt like a breath of fresh air. From the G-7 summit in Cornwall to a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Geneva, Biden carried out his duties with statesmanship and composure, a stark contrast from the mayhem and mendacity that characterised Donald Trump's foreign visits. Biden's trip sent a clear message: The United States is once again in good hands, which will be held out first and foremost to its traditional allies.
But Biden's goals extend further: By rallying the world's democracies to counter China and other autocracies, he hopes to engineer a kind of global democratic renaissance. His ability to realise this vision is far from clear. Yet he has wasted no time in getting down to business.
The last US president who chose Europe for his maiden foreign trip was Jimmy Carter, back in 1977. Carter's tour started off in the United Kingdom, where he attended a G-7 summit, and later took him to Switzerland, where he met Syrian President Hafez Al Assad (a Soviet ally). The parallels with Biden's trip are unmistakable, and, given his longstanding admiration for Carter, perhaps not entirely coincidental.
But the world has also undergone profound changes since 1977. Consider the UK. When Carter visited the country, it had recently joined the European Communities, which preceded today's European Union, a move later endorsed overwhelmingly by British voters. Today, the UK has recently abandoned the EU and is mired in political turmoil.
For Biden, this demanded a reaffirmation of America's "special relationship" with the UK, including signing a new Atlantic Charter. But it also required a blunt reminder to Prime Minister Boris Johnson that the UK should uphold its commitment to maintain an open border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland (an EU member), thereby protecting the Good Friday Agreement. All in all, if forced to choose between the UK and the EU, there is little doubt that Biden would favor the latter.
The G-7 has also changed considerably since Carter's time. When the G-7 countries (Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the UK and the US) first met in the 1970s, they comprised nearly 70 per cent of the world's GDP in nominal terms, a share they maintained until the turn of the century. But in the last two decades, this share has plunged to about 45 per cent.
Biden's laudable commitment to strengthening cooperation with the other G-7 countries has delivered mixed results. On one hand, the world's wealthiest countries continue to come up short in delivering COVID-19 vaccines to developing countries. On the other hand, their recent agreement to establish a global minimum corporate-tax rate of 15 per cent is, as Harvard's Dani Rodrik put it, "historic".
Given the G-7 countries' diminishing international weight, however, the agreement's principles will have to be adopted more widely to have the intended impact. And securing broad buy-in will not be easy. The next hurdle to clear will be the G-20, where significant pushback can be expected, particularly from China, whose human-rights record and trade practices were harshly denounced in the G-7 communiqué.
After the G-7 meeting, Biden attended a NATO summit in Brussels, which also produced a noteworthy communiqué that singled out China, along with Russia. Yet again, this represents a significant shift from the 1970s, when NATO served as the West's bulwark against the Soviet Union.
The symbolism of NATO placing such strong emphasis on China is not lost on anyone, least of all the Chinese. To be sure, many of China's conventional and non-conventional military actions must be countered. But NATO often is not the best vehicle for that, and it should avoid overreaching.
Biden's summit with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and European Council President Charles Michel was the least politically charged yet most consequential event of his European tour. The meetings produced a truce in the two sides' 17-year dispute over subsidies to aircraft companies Airbus and Boeing. All retaliatory tariffs have been suspended for five years.
The US and the EU also committed to resolve differences over trade in steel and aluminum by the end of this year. While US protectionism will not fizzle out, and the bilateral trade relationship remains beset by tensions, Biden clearly understands that he has to pick his battles and that the EU, the world's largest trading power, has much leverage to wield.
The final item on Biden's agenda, his meeting with Putin in Geneva, also reflected a major shift from 1977. Of course, the US and Russia remain adversaries on many fronts, and Biden made it abundantly clear to Putin that, unlike Trump, he would not shrug off the Kremlin's transgressions against the US (such as cyberattacks) and violations of international norms.
But it would make little strategic sense to approach Russia only as an adversary. Biden is thus attempting a tough balancing act. While the US is portraying Russia and China as the main spearheads of an autocratic bloc, much in line with the NATO communiqué, Biden is exploring the possibility of reaching some basic understandings with Russia, and perhaps even driving a wedge between it and China.
Overall, Biden's first foreign tour deserves high marks for both planning and execution. Biden succeeded in drawing a clear line under the previous administration, reassuring America's European allies, and presenting the US as a "responsible stakeholder" within the multilateral system, precisely what it has long urged China to become.
But disagreements among democratic countries will not vanish overnight, nor will the West recover its former global standing any time soon. America is back, and there is cause to celebrate. But, like it or not, the US-led unipolar world is gone for good.

About a year ago, I decided to attend a show at Madison Live to check out a band I didn't know much about. All I knew is that they had a clever band name and I liked a song of theirs that was on my Spotify "discover weekly" playlist. That was the night I was introduced to a four-piece indie band from Minnesota, called Hippo Campus. For not knowing much about them myself, they had gathered a decent crowd of people. When they first came out on stage that night and starting playing, I kind of fell in love.
Skintcinnati was asked to do a Hippo Campus feature and there was no way I was going to miss out. These guys give nothing but good vibes when they perform. They are incredibly energetic and play with huge smiles on their faces. You can instantly tell they enjoy what they do.
They opened with "Boyish", their new single that was recently released earlier this month. That track set the mood for the rest of set. With it's pop infused guitar riffs, the drums and catchy lyrics, you can't help but start dancing when you hear it. They followed that track with "Little Grace" off their EP Bashful Creatures.
These guys are talented and they are going places. If not for the music, go for the bass player's sweet dance moves, because he has moves.
Clara: You guys have seriously blown up since last year with your hit single "Suicide Saturday", were you expecting that quick of a response?
Hippo Campus: Not in the slightest. We didn't really think we had a single, and to be honest we didn't know what a single was when we released 'bashful creatures', it was just a grouping of songs that meant something to specific to us, so we're consistently humbled by the response we've gotten.
You recently released a new single, "Boyish" on Spotify, which I really enjoy by the way. Will we be expecting a new album soon? If so, what should we expect?
Can't say right now. Just expect to expect.
You get compared to Bombay Bicycle Club and Vampire Weekend, so what are your musical influences?
Our friends inspire us quite a bit, as gushy as that is. Everyone in Minneapolis is always creating and collaborating so it's exciting to be apart of that community. But other band favorite's are wu lyf, little comets, way yes, last dinosaurs, and Jonathan Boulet.
What should one expect when they see a Hippo Campus show?
Expect to expect a darn good time. Our chefs have labored tirelessly to craft a quality family friendly experience, full of fun, laughs, and good music. We just try to have fun and not biff it.
Last question, if you could tour with any band, alive or dead, who would it be?
It would be pretty cool to tour with sum-41 in the early 2000's, back when pop punk was the thing. Any band that made it into an American Pie soundtrack I guess.
Artistically speaking, bon iver's live show is massively impressive, as well as kanye's live show. Stylistically that doesn't make any sense so… Sum-41.
You can check out more of Hippo Campus at their website, and check out their newest single, Boyish.


It is sometimes easier to trust a man who you can see more than trusting the God whom you cannot see. If anything goes wrong with the man you see, you can hold him accountable. But with God, holding him accountable for your demise would be futile. Who do you want to call to the table of judgement than the same God who is the judge of all? But God is trustworthy. He will never leave you nor forsake you. He will never let you down when everybody deserts you. When nobody can see the logic reasoning behind those difficult moments, God is there holding your hands up telling you that all shall be well.
Nobody needed to tell Abraham that he was treading on a dangerous zone before he bundled his son up to the mountain as a sacrifice to his one true love – God. Yet Abraham chose to trust God and obeyed. When asked where the animal for the sacrifice was, he simply replied, God, will provide. Had he not known the voice of his God and had he not been clear about his instruction, sacrificing his only son to God without any supernatural intervention would have been fatal. Abraham passed the test of his obedience and he reaped the reward.
The children of Israel had every opportunity to distrust God and to surrender to their captors but facing the red sea and fearing their captors on horses, they chose to trust God at a very difficult moment. They cried out to God and He delivered them miraculously from their enemies. When you look to the right and to the left but help is not forthcoming, your natural inclination may be to take matters in your own hands and to lean on your own understanding, trust God completely at that moment. Trust Him to come through for you. Do your best and leave the rest to Him.
I learnt a really good lesson from recent life experiences. It is to trust in the Lord with all my heart. I had prayed earnestly to God for help to start a project and He had provided the resources needed but somehow along the way, I hit a roadblock, I let go of God's hands, I forgot the God who helped me to start the project and who was the driving force behind it all and I began to lean on my understanding. The moment I started to leaned on my own understanding, the project went pear-shaped. Instead of praying about the difficulties I experienced, I allowed my natural senses to kick in and things went bad really quickly. That project was eventually put on hold.
It may be difficult to trust in God when you've just lost a spouse or when you've lost your means of livelihood. It may be difficult to trust in God when you've been waiting on God for so long for a miracle. But the truth is that it is better to trust in God than to worry and miss it all in a hurry. Telling you to trust in God when things have gone sour or when life is bad may sound like kicking you down. But this is the best thing you need to do to get your desired result. Rather than fighting or fleeing for survival, trust in God. Trusting Him wholeheartedly and you will reap the reward.
The following declarations could be of much help to you in trusting God completely when in difficult situations and circumstances. Speak the Word of God Over Yourself and Change Your World for the best.
I declare that I will trust in God's unfailing love at difficult times. I will not allow my heart to be troubled but I will rest in His love and my heart will rejoice in His salvation (Psalm 13:5).
I declare that my trust is in the name of the Lord. He will answer me with great strength in time of trouble and He will keep me safe. As I walk in righteousness, He seals me with His mighty name and He rescues me from the hands of those who are too strong for me (Psalm 20:7, Proverbs 18:10, 2 Timothy 2:19).
Father God, I bless you for my relationships and everybody who is connected to me one way or the other. I thank you for ordering their steps and directing their paths into my life. Father God, I just pray that you will release your blessings over their lives.

Alois Gryc (19. června 1880 v Ruprechtově– 27. ledna 1954, tamtéž) byl římskokatolický kněz, misionář.

Mládí
Narodil se v Ruprechtově u Vyškova do rodiny zemědělce Josefa Gryce a Marie rozené Vejvodové, matka mu zemřela 23. ledna 1909. Alois Gryc byl nejstarší v početné rodině. Navštěvoval základní školu dokud nedosáhl věku deseti let. Poté strávil rok na střední škole a osm let navštěvoval gymnázium v Brně. Odtud odešel 1899 do Vídně, kde nastoupil na studium práva, které dva roky navštěvoval. Jenomže se rozhodl jinak. Během následujících tří let byl studentem teologie v Olomouci a v brněnském semináři. V posledním ročníku studií žádal biskupa Koudelku, aby mohl působyt ve Spojených státech, bylo mu vyhověno, ale nesehnal včas potřebné dokumenty. Promoval v roce 1905 a 30. července téhož roku byl vysvěcen na kněze. Poté byl 1. září 1905 přidělen jako II. kooperátor do Bystřice nad Pernštejnem. 31. srpna 1907 žádal biskupa, aby byl propuštěn do USA na základě zvacího dopisu chicagského arcibiskupa. Žádost mu byla zamítnuta pro nedostatek kněží v brněnské diecézi. V Bystřici nad Pernštejnem působil až do 24. února 1909. Toužil pečovat o české a slovenské věřící v cizině a na přímluvy některých amerických krajanů v březnu 1909 odjel do Ameriky.

Pobyt v Americe
Jeho prvním působištěm se stal kostel Nejsvětějšího srdce v Atwood v Kansasu, diecéze Concordia. Zde strávil osmnáct měsíců, poté byl přeložen do kostela Nejsvětější trojice v Bensonu v Jižní Dakotě, kde zůstal třináct měsíců. Krátce působil v Kimball, Nebraska, diecéze Lincoln. Poté odešel do kostela Sv. Petra a Sv. Pavla v Pocahontas County, v Iowě, kde působil jako kněz od října 1911 do srpna 1912. Následně byl přidělen do kostela Nanebevzetí Panny Marie v Deweese v Nebrasce, kde pobyl dva roky. 3. září 1914 převzal svůj kněžský post nad katolickým kostelem Plasi v Elk,Nebrasce.

Tento kostel byl postaven 5. února 1876. První modlitebna byla zničena požárem v roce 1901, poté byla ve stejném roce vystavěna současná budova kostela. Bylo tam více než sedmdesát přistěhovaleckých rodin. Církevní majetek se skládal ze čtyřiceti akrů půdy, velké církevní budovy a hřbitova. Kromě kostela Plasi měl P. Gryc také na starost farnost sv. Víta, Touhy. Místní farníci jej hodnotili jako přívětivého muže, velmi sečtělého. Odváděl tam velmi dobrou práci mezi svými farníky, až do 20. července 1919. V prosinci téhož roku však musel rezignovat z důvodu nemoci, údajně po štípnutí komárem. Nemoc neustupovala, proto se rozhodl pro návrat do vlasti.

Návrat do vlasti
Vrátil se do rodného Ruprechtova. Nervové onemocnění se ukázalo velmi vážné a trvalé. Jeho bratr Josef musel nad P. Aloisem Grycem převzít v roce 1921 opatrovnictví. Takto to trvalo, až do konce jeho života.

P. Alois Gryc zemřel 27. ledna 1954 v Ruprechtově. Pohřeb byl vypraven z domu čp.10, smuteční obřad proběhl v chrámu Páně sv. Václava v Ruprechtově. Poté byl uložen na místním hřbitově.

Another long hiatus from me!
It's like a bad habit which requires revisiting.
Looks like there's only a few posts per year and my blog is practically collecting dust as I'm typing.
Thank you for coming by, to those that browsed and those that remembered I have a blog and all, my sincerest apologies because there were no updates so far other than this post and to make matters worse, a post without pictures!!!
Everybody love pictures. If only.. people can find the time to read these days. Buhh! Sorry, how grateful I am.
I also just realised I have a sleeping Twitter account which needs updating so please check it out. The button is at the 'Follow Me' sidebar. I have yet to twit but I'll get to it.
I promise; keeping fingers and toes crossed.
How do people have so much time to spare for social media?
You have to keep updating your FB, IG, and Twitter. Arrghhhh!!!
Is WP a social page? Hmmm tell me, will you?
So much have been going on since I last updated my blog.
Ups and downs; grins and frowns; laughter and tears.
2017 ended so fast that I forgot how old I am already.
I needed the help of the calculator to find my age.
Do know, I am no way of exaggerating.
My uncle left us exactly 2 months ago, a day before my bday.
I couldn't celebrate my birthday. I didn't know how.
His death hit me real bad.
I wouldn't say we were close but we were close-knitted.
I last saw him in December and last spoken to him on Feb 1st, the day I got back from Germany.
I didn't know I was wounded inside. I kept breaking down until I've lost count how many times I've cried. I covered my wounds by keeping myself busy, doting on this and that.
And then.... I hit rockbottom. Everything caved in.
My thoughts, feelings, emotions and actions.
I was harbouring all these feelings: I was confused, frustrated, depressed, anxious, upset, angry, worried, ashamed. I was everything I am not. I wasn't me.
Truth to be told, have you ever got to a point where you feel like you just want to let everything go?
Like leave it be and just begone? Retreat to a cave solely maybe with just an e-reader? I mean not necessarily with an e-reader but that's me to keep myself sane.
I think I have come to a point that I've been trying or least tried to make everyone happy.
To give the people around me the support they need, to give them what is expected of me as a mother, wife, daughter, sister, niece, friend, etc.
And in the midst of doing that, I totally forgotten about myself. I have never thought about it, ya know?
I am happy when I see my loved ones happy. I feel accomplished.
I didn't know what I needed. Where I've been or what I've been doing all this time. Did I change so suddenly or all this while I was being someone I am not? Was I like this before? Is this what I was meant to be?
I've been holding on for so long, keeping things to myself, didn't want to trouble people with my thoughts and wishful thinking.
I think part of me was giving up. It's like I don't have the drive anymore. Where did it all go?
→I gave up on doing things that I like.
→I gave up on reading for awhile.
→I gave up on hopes and dreams.
→I gave up on being me.
I didn't tell a single soul what I was going through because in my mind, it was all me; my own doing.
I still get out of bed for chores, waking the kids up for school, prep theirs and our breakfast, feed the dogs, do the laundry, walk the dogs, etc.
Perhaps I think I am not good enough.
Somehow in my mind, I could do better. I could do more.
Perhaps I don't feel loved or appreciated.
I feel like I'm giving more than I am receiving.
Perhaps I'm doing everything all on my own.
I wanted others to understand but I can't speak up.
Perhaps I am just tired. Tired of everything.
I needed a break. A deep breathing break. A start-over.
I guess, I just needed someone to hold me and tell me everything will be okay. It will turn out fine.
It's just a passing storm, let it rain, open the floodgates. There's always calm after a storm, right? Right?
I should have let out what I'm feeling inside.
I should have voice out and share my problems and issues, not to hold it in to myself.
Regardless, I am feeling better these days. With the support of my hubby, good advice from loved ones, I am getting there, I am getting better. I am BETTER.
So here is the end of my 'open-letter' to my fellow readers.
I want to say thank you for coming back here.
♥THANK YOU♥ to my one and only, who believed that I will get better, who stood by my side when I was feeling way low, who keeps reminding me from time to time that it'll be okay. I will be okay. We will be okay. We are more than okay. Hugs XOXO. Love you always, bie bie.
Wohoooo waiting for blog updates, and finally YAAAAAASSSSS!!
Haha when I say I'll be back.. I'll be BACK!!!

Rhamnus purshiana
Cascara Buckthorn
Chittembark
Sacred Bark
The herbal tree called the cascara sagrada is a large deciduous tree, which can reach a height of twenty to thirty feet when fully mature. The circumference of average cascara sagrada trunks is one and a half feet in diameter. The tree bears a reddish brown colored bark and possesses slender branches with many leaves. The leaves of the cascara sagrada tree are elliptical in shape and are often green or yellow green in coloration, they tend to have a finely toothed edge, and are rounded at the base, and each individual leave may have either blunt or sharp ends at the tips. The foliage tends to be characterized by a crowding of the leaves at the tips of branchlets along the slender branches. The cascara sagrada also bears greenish white colored flowers; these are borne in large clusters along the axils of the leaves during the months of May through June. By September, these flowers will give rise to rounded black fruits; each individual fruiting body has two or three smooth seeds inside.
By observing the way Native Americans used parts of this tree in their traditional folk medicine, the early Spanish priests in what is now California, came up with the Spanish name for the tree, cascara sagrada - or the "sacred bark." Cascara sagrada was prepared into various herbal medicines by the native Indians - during the early spring or in the Autumn season, the native peoples would stripped off the bark, the stripped off bark would then be dried, and subjected to a slow aging process which lasted a whole year at a minimum - this prepared bark would then be stored for late use in the various herbal medications of the native Americans. The herbal remedy was prepared from aged bark, by using boiling water to steep or boil the bark; this boiled water was then cooled and drunk to help alleviate the physical symptoms of constipation in affected patients. The medical uses for the cascara sagrada was eventually accepted by American physicians only in the 1877, which is a century from the time that the early Spaniards first recognized the plant's medicinal properties from the natives of California. The U.S. Pharmacopeia has listed the cascara sagrada in its books since the year 1894, recognizing its many medicinal uses. The bark of the cascara bark is a natural laxative and it is believed to be one of the world's most common natural laxatives. The cascara sagrada is still marketed as a natural plant based laxative remedy.
The medicinal ability of the cascara sagrada lies mainly in its property of actively inducing wavelike contractions along the musculature in the walls of the intestines; it induces this action by irritating the intestinal tissues. The laxative action of the cascara sagrada remedy is particularly of great benefit for those with weakened health and those who are old, especially when it has been properly diluted. A mild laxative action is also induced by the honey made from the flowers of the cascara plant. A similar laxative action is also displayed by two related European species of the Cascara, the R. frangula species - the alder buckthorn plant and the R.cathartica species - or the buckthorn, the cascara sagrada is generally preferred to these two plants as it possesses a milder laxative action and is believed to be much safer to use with patients.
Dried bark.
Patients affected by problems such as chronic constipation can be given the herbal cascara sagrada remedy as the herb induces peristalsis in the intestinal muscles and it is also known to tone the relaxed intestinal muscles in the digestive system of the affected patient. For this reason, many commercial laxatives contain the cascara sagrada as one of the key ingredients in the product. Small doses of the cascara sagrada can also be given as a tonic to the patients as the plant often helps promote the digestive process in patients affected by disorders in the digestion.
The cascara sagrada is a plant native to specific areas of the North American continent - mainly the western coastal regions. This herb is found growing all along the Pacific Northwest from the Canadian province of British Columbia down to the northern parts of the California state. The cascara sagrada is mainly found in specific areas such as along bottomlands in valleys, along canyons and on forested mountain slopes.
Cascara sagrada contains anthraquinones, tannin, volatile oil.
In all herbal remedies made from cascara sagrada, the only form of the plant permissible for use during the preparation process is the dried form of the cascara sagrada. Dosage for patients can be two capsules of the dried form of cascara sagrada, which can be taken a maximum of two times every day during the treatment process. The dosage regimen for the cascara sagrada in tincture form is usually 1 to 5 ml every day during the treatment period. Whenever, patients use the cascara sagrada remedy, they must also drink at least eight 6 ounce glasses of water during the day to prevent dehydration as well as to aid the remedy. During any treatment regimen using the cascara sagrada, eight to ten days must be kept as the limit for continuous use - this time period must always be broken by an interval of rest to ensure optimal treatment.
A physician must always be present to supervise the use of cascara sagrada by women who are in a term of pregnancy and those who are lactating - such patients must not use the remedy unless a doctor is supervising the dosages. The cascara sagrada must also be avoided by all patients affected by an intestinal obstruction. The colon can be drastically weakened in its functioning due to abuse of cascara sagrada, using the herb for very long periods or abusing the doses of the herb can also lead to the drastic loss of electrolytes from the body - this is particularly evident in the depletion of the essential mineral potassium. The drastic loss of an essential mineral like potassium can often resemble the effects of the digitalis like medications; such a situation can lead to severe health complications and even death.
The preparation and processing techniques of this remedy in the present day, differ little from the traditional methods of the Native Americans; during the spring or summer, the bark is stripped from the trunk of the cascara sagrada and the collected bark are left to undergo a slow aging process for a few years before they are used as herbal medicine. The population of cascara sagrada trees in the wild has drastically come down; this situation is mainly due to the large scale and indiscriminate cutting of the trees by white settlers in the last century.
To make it more effective as an herbal remedy, the cascara sagrada remedy should be mixed with different aromatics and carminative substances - such as the licorice, this makes the remedy more potent.

"Hello Sir, can I help you?"
"Yes, I would like a lnew ens for my camera"
"What sort of lens would you like, Sir?"
"I don't know. I was hoping you could tell me"
"I see Sir. Well, what type of photographer are you?"
"Well, are you a portrait photographer perhaps or a landscape photographer? How about a close-up or architecture photographer?"
"Well, Sir, it all depends on your interests and experiences. I'm not sure I can tell you. Let's try a different approach, Sir. What aperture were you looking for?"
"We have a lovely Acme 70 - 200 f2.8 here Sir"
"That looks nice. How much is it?"
"Oh. I didn't want to spend that much. Haven't you got one like that for under a hundred dollars?"
"That's a lovely model Sir. Good value and nice results. Fits any Nikon"
"Sir, am I right in thinking that you have no idea which lens you want but it needs to be large aperture, Canon fit, low in price and presumably image stabilised, one-touch, lightweight, quick focus, titanium lacquered, diamond-encrusted and currently in stock?"
"Yes, that's just about it"
"You're in luck, Sir. I understand they have some in stock on the other side of town............."

In Love Walked among Us, Paul Miller invites us to get to know Jesus, to observe his life and His love as they unfold in the Gospel narratives. The book investigates such questions as: How do you love someone when you get no love in return, only withdrawal or ingratitude? How do you love without being trapped or used by another person? How do you love when you have your own problems? When do you take care of yourself? When you are compassionate, people use you, but when you are honest, people get angry--so how do you love with both compassion and honesty? In every way, Jesus' life exemplifies the full potential of what we were intended to be. And the better we know Him, the more we will be drawn to follow His perfect example.

Start Bloggers Corner Hands-on – The New IWC Pilot's Watch Timezoner Chronograph "80 Years Flight...
Hands-on – The New IWC Pilot's Watch Timezoner Chronograph "80 Years Flight To New York"
In addition to breaking records as a pilot, Antoine de Saint Exupéry made aviation history as a passenger too. Travelling onboard the Latécoère 521 "Lieutenant de Vaisseau Paris" in July 1939, the aviator and writer took part in the flying boat's first non-stop crossing of the North Atlantic in just 28 hours and 27 minutes – pilot Henri Guillaumet flew 5,875 km (3,651 mi) from New York City to Biscarrosse (on the French coast) at an average speed of 206 km/h (127 mph), including 2,300 km (1,400 mi) with one engine out.
The IWC Timezoner Chronograph combines two of the most practical in-flight complications: flyback and dual time.
Celebrating the anniversary of Saint Exupéry's participation in this epic flight, IWC Schaffhausen launches an 80-piece limited edition of one of its most complex yet most relevant watches in the Pilot's collection, the Timezoner Chronograph. This watch, which appeared in 2016, had only existed with a black dial and had remained rather discreet until now. Celebrating a time-zone-crossing flight was the perfect occasion to bring back this watch to the forefront.
The IWC Pilot's Watch Timezoner Chronograph is a bold, sizeable watch with true pilot's credentials, but not like a Big Pilot's Watch and its B-Uhr roots. It relies on a combination of two complications that are known to be very useful for aviators. First is a chronograph with a flyback "retour en vol" function, which allows to stop-reset the chronograph by just pressing the pusher at 4 o'clock, and is used for various in-flight calculations.
The second function, a dual-time indication with a central 24-hour hand seems rather classical in its display, however, is clever and unusual in the way it is actuated. Indeed, the second time zone is extremely simple to use, as it allows the wearer to adjust the additional 24-hour hand by simply pressing down and rotating the bezel. The latter features a ceramic insert that is engraved with the major cities around the world.
For the occasion of this limited edition, IWC brings the classic "Saint Exupéry" theme to this watch. This means a dark brown dial, specific Arabic numerals – vintage and stylized, on the contrary to the standard version with modern numerals – and specifically designed rhodium-plated hours and minutes hands. The ceramic bezel insert, also treated in brown, highlights "Paris" and "New York" in red. The watch is worn on a brown calfskin strap with a steel folding clasp. Finally, the caseback has a special engraving with the Latécoère 521.
As for the display, and even though this Timezoner Chronograph IW395003 bears multiple functions, things remain clear thanks to the signature chronograph sub-counter at 12 o'clock, with hours and minutes indications reunited – which also means that it is read as a normal watch. A date at 3 o'clock completes the package. The watch is made of stainless steel, brushed and polished, and measures 46mm in diameter and 16.1mm in height – no need to say, it is rather impressive on the wrist but the curved lugs allow for a good balance.
Powering the IWC Pilot's Watch Timezoner Chronograph IW395003 is the in-house Calibre 89760, an automatic, integrated chronograph with column wheel and vertical clutch. This modern movement boasts a comfortable 68-hour power reserve and beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour. The flyback function is a nice addition and the pushers have a nice, firm feeling.
The IWC Pilot's Watch Timezoner Chronograph "80 Years Flight To New York" IW395003 will be limited to 80 pieces worldwide. It is available now in IWC Boutiques and from authorised retailers. Its price is USD 13,100.

Stormy weather in the South China Sea: Manila, Washington, Seoul weigh the options
Tags: T50, Korea Aerospace Industries, South China Sea, China, Philippines, Subic Bay, Clark Air Base, Cubi Point
MANILA -- War clouds hang over the South China Sea.
The question is whether they'll burst into a storm or simply cast a menacing shadow and eventually blow away. The outlook for clear weather does not appear bright while the Philippines works on reopening Subic Bay for defense against China's claim to most of the South China Sea.
It will be a long time before Subic returns to its glory days as the largest U.S. naval base on foreign soil, but gradual escalation seems altogether likely.
The Philippines has signaled its desire to build up something more than a ragtag, corruption-ridden military force by ordering a dozen T50 trainers from Korea Aerospace Industries. They're called "light attack fighters," no match for serious fighter planes, but they'll still be able to go on patrol and perhaps support Philippine forces on the Spratly Islands, which are mostly taken over by the Chinese for air and naval facilities.
Right now, the Philippines has no fighter jets at all.
Those T50s will be flying out of the old Cubi Point Naval Air Station, built by U.S. naval engineers on Subic Bay opposite the docks that once were home to the U.S. 7th Fleet. The Americans were forced to leave both Subic Bay and Clark Air Base, northeast across the Zambales mountains, in 1991 and 1992 after the Philippine Senate, in a righteous display of nationalism, voted no to renewal of the lease on the bases.
Cubi was a marvel of military engineering, carved out of the jungle and built in the shape of an enormous aircraft carrier big enough for any type of aircraft plus facilities for repairing them. The name far predated the arrival of the Americans, but the engineers liked to say the letters were an acronym for, "Can You Build It?" The air station served U.S. Navy planes, normally flown off carriers, while Clark, the largest overseas U.S. air base, served the U.S. Air Force. These bases came in handy during both the Korean and Vietnam wars and were also the springboard for U.S. forces in the Middle East, notably the Gulf War of 1990-1991 before they were shut down and turned into shopping centers.
In fact, both Subic and Clark were such great bases that it's tempting to predict the Americans will be back in large numbers ― a reprise of the days when they were humming with thousands of U.S. troops. Actually, however, that forecast would be premature. The Americans come and go on exercises at both bases, but they're not yet returning on a permanent basis.
As the Chinese persist in building facilities in the Spratlys, however, the Philippines may want the U.S. to increase its investment. Nor are the Spratlys the Philippines' only concern, the Chinese have also taken over the Scarborough shoal, 125 miles west of Subic, firing massive water hoses at Philippine boats intruding into what they see as Chinese waters.
The Philippines is looking for all the help it can get.
Last month, a Japanese reconnaissance plane joined in a modest exercise off Palawan, the long southwestern Philippine island that's a springboard for the Spratlys. The idea was a mock air rescue mission, no big deal but the exercise was still significant. Not since the Japanese surrender nearly 70 years ago have Japanese forces operated in the Philippines.
Will the Koreans also be joining in the war games? That's a sensitive question. It's one thing for Korea Aerospace to be selling planes and quite another for the Korean Air Force to fly its own planes to the Philippines.
Koreans say they can ill afford to upset the Chinese by appearing to oppose them in the South China Sea while counting on China to hold North Korea in check.
Korea's relations with China mean Korean forces won't go to regional flashpoints all around the Chinese periphery. Certainly you don't hear Korea taking sides in the dispute over that island cluster known as the Senkakus to the Japanese and Diaoyu to the Chinese, in the East China Sea.
Korea has such a large stake in the Philippines though it may have to get involved sooner or later in the South China Sea.
About 300,000 Koreans are in the Philippines, living, working, studying and playing ― by far the largest group of foreigners in the country. Korean companies assemble motor vehicles there. Koreans go to private schools where they learn to speak and read American English. Koreans enjoy the nightlife, the dining, the golfing.
The slogan, "It's more fun in the Philippines" lures plane-loads of Koreans from Incheon and Busan.
You would hope that the saying, "Live and let live," might also be a motto for conflicting forces in the South China Sea. China should consider the virtues of compromise. So far, however, the Chinese have offered no concessions even as the skies darken over stormy seas.
Columnist Donald Kirk, covering war and peace in Asia for decades, first visited the Philippines in 1968. He's at kirkdon@yahoo.com.

Neuroscience Research Supports Buddhist View of an Ever-changing Self
By Craig Lewis Buddhistdoor Global | 2015-09-21 |
From psychandneuro.duke.edu
The Buddhist understanding of the illusory nature of a constant, unchanging sense of self, first posited thousands of years ago, has been validated by recent neuro-scientific research. And while neuroscience cannot yet offer a definitive answer as to exactly how consciousness relates to the brain, some cognitive scientists have begun to reference Buddhist thought in their research.
Evan Thompson, a professor of philosophy at the University of British Columbia, writes about cognitive science, phenomenology, the philosophy of mind, and cross-cultural philosophy—especially Buddhist philosophy in dialogue with Western philosophy of mind and cognitive science. "Buddhists argue that nothing is constant, everything changes through time, you have a constantly changing stream of consciousness," said Thompson. "And from a neuroscience perspective, the brain and body is constantly in flux. There's nothing that corresponds to the sense that there's an unchanging self." (Quartz)
Evan Thompson. From ubc.ca
According to a paper published in July—"Reconstructing and deconstructing the self: cognitive mechanisms in meditation practice" by Cortland J. Dahl, Antoine Lutz, and Richard J. Davidson—there is scientific evidence that "self-processing in the brain is not instantiated in a particular region or network, but rather extends to a broad range of fluctuating neural processes that do not appear to be self specific." (Cell Press)
The authors define cognitive reification as "the experience of thoughts, emotions, and perceptions as being accurate depictions of reality and, in particular, the implicit belief that the self and objects of consciousness are inherently enduring, unitary, and independent of their surrounding conditions and circumstances. In the Buddhist tradition, cognitive reification is a primary target in deconstructive styles of meditation." (Cell Press)
According to Thompson, this is not the only convergence of neuroscience and Buddhism. Some neuroscientists now theorize that cognitive faculties can be trained through meditation, and that there may be scientific credence to the Buddhist belief that consciousness extends into deep sleep.
"The standard neuroscience view is that deep sleep is a blackout state where consciousness disappears," said Thompson. "In Indian philosophy we see some theorists argue that there's a subtle awareness that continues to be present in dreamless sleep, there's just a lack of ability to consolidate that in a moment-to-moment way in memory." (Quartz)
Thompson even supports the Buddhist view of the intrinsic existence of the self (on a relative level), although he disagrees with the idea that an aspect of consciousness exists independent of the physical body. "In neuroscience, you'll often come across people who say the self is an illusion created by the brain. My view is that the brain and the body work together in the context of our physical environment to create a sense of self. And it's misguided to say that just because it's a construction, it's an illusion." (Quartz)

In some of the working conditions, the water contains of the flue gas is high and the temperature of it is relative low. The humidity in the gas then turns to dew on the surface of the filtration bag. That often leads to the dust sticking on the surface of the bag and reduction of the filtration function. The waterproof and oil-proof function for the common needled felt material/bag are all not good. In order to prevent the above mentioned problem. We should apply the pos-treatment of dipping or surface coating of water-proof materials for the filtration material. The materials will have the function of waterproof and oil-proof function after the treatment and the size-fixing process under high temperature. The technology makes the filtration on bags having the same ideal performance even in the high humidity conditions.
Anyhow, the high humidity gas, especially the gas that contains water-absorbable dust, is easy to lead the dust sticking on the filtration bag. We recommend that the customers should choose the regular and simple round bag but not the flat bag with complex sharp and design. The working temperature of the dust catcher should be controlled to 10℃-20℃ higher that the dew point.
