Survey about Evidence of Life after Death through Spiritualist Mediumship
Survey deadline: 30 September
Click Here to Complete
by Walter Meyer zu Erpen
My chapter for the book Is There Life after Death? Arguments, Theories, Evidence, edited by Leo Ruickbie and Robert McLuhan for the Society for Psychical Research, will examine whether Spiritualist mediumship has proven life after death.
To obtain a broad range of opinion on the question, I am conducting a survey that seeks both answers that can be quantified and others that provide names and examples to guide my selection of cases of evidential mediumship. The survey results will be aggregated and anonymized.
Whether or not you consider yourself a Spiritualist, I invite you to complete as much of the survey as you wish. Also, please feel free to share this request with friends, family and colleagues who have considered and formed an opinion about the evidence of survival received through Spiritualist mediumship.
The survey is attracting attention. Lisette Coly, President of the New York-based Parapsychology Foundation (PF), offered to feature the survey in PF's September blog. And Tony Ortzen, editor of the UK-based Psychic News (PN), interviewed me about it for the September 2020 issue.
Thank you for considering this request to complete my survey and sharing this Survival Research Communication with others who might be interested.

Zooming in the time of Corona… A recent web search of approximately 47 Canadian Spiritualist organizations showed that a little less than half (22) are actively offering church services online via Zoom or Facebook. Another five will soon be opening their doors back to in-person services, if not already back "in church". It's a tribute to the workers - chairpersons, ministers, mediums and congregants alike – who've kept the virtual doors open and welcoming.
I've actually attended more virtual services during the Covid-19 "shutdown" than in quite a while in person – the commute and parking are easy; I have coffee and/or knitting beside me; and I hardly have to "dress-up"! The sense of community is strong and time zone differences enable us to attend up to three services on a Sunday! Some services feature music and some churches have dispensed with it; other services focus on a really great sermon and reading without demonstration of mediumship; healing is integrated in some services and offered afterward at others; and some mediums offer "I've got a gentleman here who's x, y, z, and can someone accept him?" and others work direct and say "Can I come to YOU, please unmute YOUR microphone." Good mediumship and evidence of survival doesn't seem to actually require being physically in the same room! Workers serving churches don't even have to be in the same town and I've seen postings for services in Canada with mediums from the UK or USA.
And I confess that I was "chatting" and introducing myself virtually to a Minister at a church during the demonstration of mediumship – I was also listening to the worker and heard a contact description, so raised my hand, and indeed was given a fine message. After, I had to giggle with the Minister, that conventional church "manners" would say that I'd NEVER get a message if I were whispering in the back row! (Thanks to Heather and Reverend Karen @ the First Spiritualist Church of Galt!).
So how has your organization been surviving Covid? Not all congregants are online or have bandwidth or know how to be part of an online gathering. The mechanics of running a service are not without setup issues; and workers need to be quick and nimble – there's no section in any of the Lyceum Manuals in the SRIC library about how to run a Zoom service!
The virtual collection plate feels quite "empty" as its passed around - are folks making online donations? Going forward may offer more opportunities for visiting other church services online – some organizations may opt for a combination of in-person AND online gatherings. I know that we all look forward to returning to in-person services but maybe the doors have opened to interesting alternatives as Spiritualism moves into the future.

Research Brief: 'Ghosts with Warm Hands': A World War I Apparition Case
by Pamela Reeve, PhD
I first became aware of Will Bird's wartime apparitions in May 2014. The annual Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences was underway at Brock University in St. Catharines, Ontario. Canadian military historian Tim Cook had just delivered an intriguing public lecture: "The Borders Between Life and Death: Stories of the Supernatural and the Uncanny Among Canada's Great War Soldiers" (see concluding bibliography for link to the video of Cook's lecture and other references mentioned here). Cook's lecture was based on his research into the paranormal experiences of Canadian WWI soldiers, summarized in a 2013 article in the prestigious Journal of Military History, "Grave Beliefs: Stories of the Supernatural and the Uncanny among Canada's Great War Trench Soldiers." In this early work, as well as his 2018 book, The Secret History of Soldiers: How Canadians Survived the Great War, Cook emphasizes the high regard of military historians for Will Bird's wartime memoir, Ghosts Have Warm Hands, calling it "one of the finest eye-witness accounts of the war" by a Canadian soldier (2013, 521). In fact, Bird published two versions of his memoir. The first was titled And We Go On (1930), while the title of the later revision, Ghosts Have Warm Hands (1968), emphasizes the remarkable apparition of his deceased brother, Steve. Actually, the earlier version is now regarded as superior. It also has more detailed accounts of the life-saving interventions of Steve. And We Go On was republished by McGill-Queen's University Press in 2014 and I will quote from this version below (AWGO).
Will Bird's family background is relevant to his experience of repeated encounters with his deceased brother, Stephen Bird. Steve had enlisted in the 25th Nova Scotia Battalion at age 18, just after the outbreak of war in 1914. After training in England, he arrived in France in mid-September 1915. Tragically, he was killed by a mine explosion less than a month later (8 October 1915).
Meanwhile, back in Nova Scotia, Steve's older brother, Will, had tried repeatedly to enlist but had been rejected for medical reasons. Disappointed, he found work out west, bringing in the harvest on a Saskatchewan farm. He was pitching sheaves onto a wagon when he had his first paranormal experience (in what would become an ongoing series):
"... Steve walked around the cart and confronted me. He said not a word but I knew all as if he had spoken, for he had on his equipment and was carrying his rifle. I let the fork fall to the ground and the nearest man came running to me, thinking I had taken ill. I did not tell him what I had seen, but I left the field, and never pitched another sheaf of grain" (AWGO, 8–9).
Three days went by "and then the message came, a wire, 'Steve has been killed. Come home'" (AWGO, 9).
In April 1916, Will succeeded in his effort to enlist and his ship departed for England the following October. He arrived for duty at the front in France in January 1917. The next major apparition of Steve (for which Ghosts Have Warm Hands is named) occurred during Will's service at Vimy Ridge in April 1917. Will had been digging trenches and spent the night with two other men who had invited him to share their bivouac shelter:
"We were soon asleep, but about midnight I was wakened by a tug at my arm. I looked up quickly, throwing back my ground sheet, and there stood Steve!"
"I could see him plainly, see the mud on his puttees and knees. He jerked a thumb towards the ruined houses and motioned for me to go to them. I did not speak. I thought that if I could do exactly as he said, and not wake the others, perhaps he would actually speak to me. He started to walk away as I gathered up my equipment and rifle and greatcoat, and when I hurried he simply faded from view. I was disappointed. For at least ten minutes I stood by a path, waiting, watching, listening, hoping he might speak or whisper. Nothing happened, and I grew cold, so I kept on to the nearest ruin and there lay on a rough earth floor and went to sleep."
"In the morning I heard fellows talking about a big shell that had killed two men. I jumped up and looked. They were digging from the shelter I had left the mangled bodies of the two lads who had invited me to join them. The shell had exploded just above their heads. All that day I thought of how I had been saved, and I resolved that if ever again I saw Steve I would do exactly as he motioned; he had saved my life" (AWGO, 48).
Steve guides his brother repeatedly during his wartime service, sometimes by touches and taps at crucial points. Will reports seeing Steve clearly during his dreams and feels his nearness while awake (AWGO, 67). He experiences yet another life-saving apparition of Steve in the fall of 1917 at Raismes Forest near Mons. At the time, Will is accompanied by another soldier whom he calls "the Student":
"Ahead of us we saw a clearing and a small farm. A little cottage stood on a knoll with a shed close by. There was a fence about the place and a few apple trees near the house. We hurried toward them when I saw Steve step from the cottage door and hold up his hand. I stood, spell-bound, a moment, unable to move. It was clear and bright and I could see the very buttons on his tunic, the way his belt was loosely hooked. Never had I had such a clear picture of him and I was sure he would speak" (AWGO, 205).
Unfortunately, the Student appears not to have seen Steve and continues walking towards the cottage. Despite Will having shouted a warning, the Student is shot and killed by a German sniper hiding in the cottage.
Overall, it is clear that Bird is attesting, not to the experience of a filmy "ghost" that is merely something seen, but to an external entity that exercises agency, anticipates danger, and intervenes repeatedly to guide and protect him. The fact that Bird emerged alive from life-threatening situations when other soldiers who were with him were killed should perhaps count as significant evidence of the reality of his experiences.
Who was Will R. Bird?
William Richard Bird was born 11 May 1891 to Stephen Bird and his second wife, Augusta Bird, at East Mapleton, Cumberland County, Nova Scotia. Following the birth of Will, they had two more sons, Lewis B. Bird (1893–1987) and Stephen C. Bird (1896–1915). Tragically, Stephen senior died suddenly of pneumonia in December 1895, age 35. At the time, Augusta was four months pregnant with the younger Stephen, who was born the following April. Although Will later attended Amherst Academy, he was unable to continue his schooling beyond grade eight owing to the family's need for economic support. His stated occupation when he enlisted in April 1916 was grocery clerk.
And We Go On is referred to by Bird in his preface as a "diary" so presumably he kept written records of his wartime experiences, which formed the basis for his memoir, first published in 1930. These papers do not appear to be included in the Will R. Bird fonds at Dalhousie University, NS. Nevertheless, in the preface to the later edition, Bird is even more clear about the source of his material for the memoir: "The events related in this book ... are all true; their telling is based on diaries that I kept during the period" (Ghosts, CEF Books).
Bird emphasizes in the preface that he is "striving for a correct picture as well as accuracy of detail" and that "Every case of premonition I have described is actual fact; each of my own psychic experiences were exactly as recorded" (AWGO, 5). Some key samples from the earliest published version of this record (1930) are included above.
After demobilizing in March 1919, Will Bird married his childhood sweetheart, Ethel May Sutton in June 1919. Over the next four years, they had two children. Stephen Stanley Bird was born in April 1920 and Elizabeth Caroline Bird ("Betty") in March 1923. Upon his return from service, Will was fortunate in being able to develop a career path in journalism. In the early 1920s, a win in a writing contest motivated further efforts and he began sending out stories for publication. But, he had to find a distinctive niche if he was going to be able to write full time.
Bird's wartime experience was both a natural and astute choice. And thus And We Go On came to be published in 1930. Other non-fiction works on the war followed as well as many short stories and a military-based novel. And We Go On was generally well received and especially appreciated by veterans. David Williams reports that Bird was "invited by the Royal Canadian Legion to address overflow crowds at more than one hundred branches across Canada" (AWGO, x). Further invitations and writing engagements followed. Over his long life Bird published "roughly 25 books and 600 short stories" (Will R. Bird fonds, Dalhousie University). Sadly, in 1944, he suffered the loss of his son Stephen, age 24, engaged in war service. He and his wife Ethel lived on into old age and Will Bird himself to age 92 (d. January 1984).

Doogie Horner fights to win over the crowd and judges on NBC's "America's Got Talent"
Posted by Sean L. McCarthy | Jun 9, 2010 | TV, Uncategorized | 2 |
Doogie Horner may not be featured on NBC's Last Comic Standing this summer, but overnight, he became a TV sensation on the same network — at least if Howie Mandel and the producers of America's Got Talent have anything to say about it.
Horner (who made my November 2009 list of funniest comedians working in Philadelphia) performed on Tuesday night's episode of the NYC auditions, and the Philadelphia stand-up comedian met with a hostile crowd. How hostile? They started booing him Apollo-style immediately after his first one-liner. Of course, it didn't help (at least as the show was edited) that, as host Nick Cannon said, forty other supposed stand-up comedians had taken the stage and bombed. But Horner, perhaps remembering what Bill Burr had done when he met with a barbaric audience in Philly four years ago, decided to lash right back into the crowd. Mandel loved it. So did Sharon Osbourne, and Horner got passed through to Vegas over the objections of Piers Morgan. This clip doesn't show what happened next, as producers played the theme from "Rocky" — a great touch since Horner is from Philly — then had cameras follow him outside the theater to interact with the audience some more. When I get that clip, I'll share it. Here's what they have for us for now. Roll it!
On a side note, I don't know why I find it odd that America's Got Talent would have comedians competing when they could be on LCS. After all, they have plenty of singers, too, and they could have been on American Idol. Grandma Lee made the finals of AGT last year, and ventriloquist Terry Fator won the grand prize before, too — which at a million dollars and a running show in Las Vegas, is quite a different prize from LCS. So why not?
Further reading: In 2008, Doogie Horner also created this handy guide to comedy via flow chart!
Updated: So here is the full final segment of the show from last night, which I include because the producers completely set the show up as bad for comedians but uplifting for Horner, from Mandel talking about his hopes to find a good comedian, through the incorrect use of the Laugh Factory sign to denote New York comedy (as the club no longer has a branch here and hasn't for a couple of years), then through the montage of horrible "comedians," which leads us to Horner, the dubious judgement of Piers Morgan and what happens afterward. It's really worth watching the entire thing as the rest of America saw it on their TVs. Roll the clip!

Healthy land, healthy food healthy people. In our spare time, we spend travelling and meeting progressive farmers, scientists and others interested in regenerating Australia and the world. We also like putting on events sharing with others what we've learnt. The videos on this page are a little insight into our adventures outside of the city office. Enjoy!
On 3 July 2011, Beatrice, with the help of the Transition Bondi team and many others, organised the event "What's the Future of Food - GM Awareness Evening of Costa". The trigger for organising this event was watching the US documentary "The Future of Food" by Deborah Koons Garcia which shows all the different problems related to Genetically Engineered Organisms (GMOs), GM food and GM crops.
In the documentary, reference is made to the plight of the Canadian farmer Percy Schmeiser whose conventional canola crop was contaminated with GM canola with the consequence that he was sued by Monsanto for breach of Monsanto's patent on GM canola. Incredibly, the appeal court held that Percy Schmeiser was indeed in breach of Monsanto's patent on GM canola despite the appeal court's finding that there was no evidence, and it did not matter, as to how the GM canola came to be on Percy Schmeiser's canola fields. With all due respect, the court decision is unjust and nonsensical, and the writer would argue, incorrect.
The terrible plight of Percy Schmeiser, a farmer who had been minding his own business but who was drawn into lengthy, costly and stressful court proceedings by the greed of Monsanto, is the writer's inspiration for her vision for an Australia with a Sustainable Agriculture - without GMOs and pesticides.
The event "What's the Future of Food" was created to "translate" the content of the US documentary "The Future of Food" to Australia, to find out whether the Australian legal landscape is similar to the the one in the United States. Watch the speakers, below, to find out!
Organise a movie night with your friends and watch the documentary "The Future of Food" .
If you would like to find out more about the Australian law on GMOs and problems with GMOs, please contact Beatrice Ludwig on 0410 583 550 or by email: info@ludwiglawyers.com.


NIGHT SKY TOURS How much does a Night Sky Tour cost? You can find that information at the Prices & Reservations Page . When does the program begin and how long does it last? Typically it begins shortly after sunset and lasts about two hours, though it can run slightly longer or shorter depending on the group size, interest and weather. Where will we meet? There is no fixed location, but it will be within only a few miles of the town's center. This will be determined before you receive your final tour details. Is there much walking involved? No. We park our vehicles only a few yards from the telescope. What is an evening observing program like? They're all different, of course, but they typically begin with an overview of the stars and constellations visible overhead, followed by a tour of the telescope itself and instruction on its proper use. Then, armed with this knowledge, we will use the telescope to peer deep into our galaxy and far beyond. How is a Night Sky Tour different from other public star parties and events? Public "star parties" offered by amateur astronomy groups are excellent, but they do not offer a truly personalized experience. Here, however, you will have that experience because group sizes are limited. In addition to seeing many more celestial objects, your personal interaction with astronomer Dennis Mammana will help you understand not only what you're seeing, but how it works and why it's important to scientists. It is this context that makes your experience unique. And with a professional astronomer as your guide, you'll surely come away with a totally new perspective on the universe and your place in it. Will I be able to see the Milky Way? That depends on the season and whether or not there's moonlight. The Milky Way Galaxy in which we live forms a circular band around us and, therefore, can be seen only about half of the time. Its brightest part appears during the summer and early autumn; its fainter half appears during the winter and early spring. At the other times of the year we cannot see the band of the Milky Way during early evening hours, but this means that, at those times, we can see other galaxies far beyond our own. Does moonlight affect what we can see? It can. If you want to see the starry heavens at their very best, you should schedule your Sky Tour when the moon does not appear during early evening hours. Note that the Sky Tour Schedule is color-coded to help you determine which are the darkest dates. If you're in town only when the moon is in the sky you will still have a remarkable experience; we will see all we normally see, though with a reduced contrast. If you've got questions about choosing the darkest nights, please e-mail Dennis directly. Be aware that there are only about two or three weeks during each month with moonless conditions, so ideal program dates are limited. SKY TOUR SIZE How many people are there on a Night Sky Tour? Typically the maximum is 10-12. Sometimes, depending on circumstances, there may be a few more or less. Why do you limit the size of your audience? Unlike most public "star parties," the number of participants here is limited so that you will have the most enjoyable and educational experience possible. In this way you will be encouraged to peer through the telescope, ask questions and open discussions with Dennis. Is there a minimum number required for your tours? Yes... and no. Each Night Sky Tour requires a minimum of four adults to operate. That doesn't mean you must have four in your party, only that there must be at least four scheduled for the night. You may certainly reserve space for one or two adults, but if the tour cannot proceed because of low attendance you will be given the option of rescheduling or receiving a refund. What if I don't want to be part of a larger tour group? Groups are not large―usually twelve or fewer people―but you may request a private session for just yourself or your group. In that case, however, the Private Group Rate will apply for parties of 1 to 12. Private tours have complete access to the telescope and astronomer. On rare occasions, however, attendance in the public programs is light and you may have the session all to yourself anyway! CHILDREN is there an age limit for children? Yes, children younger than 9 years of age are not admitted. Sorry. My children are younger than 9, but are really smart. Why can't they come along? It's not a matter of intelligence. First, the eyes of very young children are unable to focus well on faint objects at the telescope, requiring much more time for instruction and help. Second, a dark environment near a delicate and expensive optical instrument is not a safe place for toddlers or young children. Finally, young children are unable to comprehend all we see and talk about, possibly leading them to become bored, frustrated and, sometimes, disruptive to the rest of the group. Can I drop off my children and pick them up at the end of the tour? No, sorry. No unaccompanied minors are permitted, and all must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. RESERVATIONS Must I have a reservation or can I just show up? Because these programs are heavily booked, and meeting times and places can change with the season and weather conditions, reservations and advance payment are required. How do I select a date? Check the Tour Schedule page for scheduled dates, then follow the instructions to learn if your choice(s) are available. How do I make a reservation? Once you've confirmed that space is available on the date(s) you're visiting, you can pay online with credit or debit card, or PayPal. All major credit and debit cards are accepted, and all transactions are secure via the PayPal system. You do not have to have a PayPal acount. What if my preferred date is already booked? If a date is booked, you may choose to be placed on a waiting list or, if you'll be in town for a few days, you can book another date. During the winter months (when darkness comes earlier) you might be offered a tour later in the evening if maximum attendance has been reached. It would be the same tour, but would allow a more personalized experience than overfilling the earlier tour. And if you'll be in town only on an unscheduled (white) date and have a group of four or more adults, please feel free to e-mail to see if something might be available. I just arrived in town and saw your flyer. Can I make a reservation for tonight? If there remains space, possibly, but the cutoff time for same-day reservations is 12:00 noon (Pacific Time). It's always best to make advance reservations if you can. Either way, e-mail (not telephone or text messaging) is the preferred method of communication. I called the phone number but there was no answer. Now what? All correspondence must be done by e-mail, not by phone or text messaging. Since all responses, confirmations and tour details will be sent via e-mail ALWAYS within 24 hours, please make sure that these are not going to your spam or junk folders. I sent an e-mail, but never received a response. You will ALWAYS receive a reply within 24 hours. If you don't, check your spam and junk folders. If you've not received a reply within 24 hours, please try again. Sometimes e-mail can blocked, though, so you must always include in any correspondence an alternate e-mail address . I made my reservation; now what? Shortly after making your reservation payment you will receive a receipt from PayPal. You will then receive an e-mail confirmation from Dennis giving you preliminary details and requesting important information. Once that information is received―and a few days before your Night Sky Tour―you will receive another e-mail detailing the exact time and place we will meet, and offering more detail about the evening's adventure. You're always welcome to email Dennis at any time if you've got questions that are not answered in the emails or this FAQ. LODGING & ACTIVITIES IN BORREGO SPRINGS I've never been to Borrego Springs before. Can you recommend a good place to stay? A variety of resorts, motels and camping spots exist around the village of Borrego and in the State Park. You can find a list of them (as well as other activities, restaurants and more) at the Borrego Springs Chamber of Commerce . How far are hotels from where we'll be meeting? Borrego is a very small town, and all hotels and resorts are within only a few miles of our meeting place and observing site. I don't want to stay overnight in Borrego; is that an option? Of course, but keep in mind how far Borrego is from just about everywhere. From San Diego it's a 2+ hour drive; from the LA area it can be 4+ hours. Your Night Sky Tour can end quite late, and the roads out of town are winding, dark and potentially dangerous at night. You would be much wiser to spend the night in town, and enjoy the views back the next day. In fact, you might even prefer to stay a few days to explore the ruggedly beautiful Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. Is there anything else to do in Borrego? Plenty! Please check out the Borrego Springs Chamber of Commerce to see what kinds of restaurants, museums, lectures, desert excursions and more for you to enjoy. But be ready for beauty and solitude... and no traffic! TOUR LOGISTICS When are Borrego Night Sky Tours offered? Sky Tours are offered several times a week, except when the moon is bright or when Dennis is not available. Check out the current tour schedule for dates and send an e-mail to confirm that space is open; if there is, you must pay in advance to hold your spaces. What time does the program begin and how long does it last? Night Sky Tours typically begin 30-60 minutes after sunset―depending on time of year and what's in the sky―and generally last about 2 hours. Please be aware that PROGRAMS BEGIN ON TIME, so plan to arrive early or your may miss our departure; there can be no refunds for late arrivals. On rare occasions, conditions may dictate a last-minute change of start time, and these changes would be communicated that day via text message to the cell phone number you provided. Please check your text messages from time to time that afternoon to make sure you don't miss out. What if I'm late? You may miss the tour. We begin PROMPTLY at the scheduled time, and once the program has begun you will be unable to reach anyone by phone, text message or e-mail. Please keep in mind that there are no refunds if you miss the program. Please plan your travel and dinner accordingly and arrive early! Where will we meet? There is no fixed location, but all are within only a few miles of the town's center. It will be determined before you receive your final tour details. Conditions may require a last-minute change, and those changes would be communicated via text message that day to the cell phone number you provided. Please check your text messages from time to time that afternoon to make sure you don't miss out. Can't I just drive to the observing site without meeting first? Sometimes that might be possible. Normally during our brief gathering we will over important details about our evening's session, and will look over and sign a waiver form before heading out to the observing site together. How should I plan to dress for the evening? Nights can become quite cool (or downright cold!) after sundown in the desert, except during mid-summer. Always be sure to dress for the season, but you will be advised before your adventure what weather we can expect. Good sturdy shoes are always a good idea for the desert at night, however. Do I need a special vehicle to participate? No. The observing locations are all located within a few miles of the town's center, and only a short drive on a dirt road may be necessary. I'd prefer not to drive at night in the desert; can I ride with you? No, sorry. We're not licensed to carry passengers and, besides, the telescope gear takes up the entire vehicle! THINGS TO BRING ALONG... OR TO LEAVE AT HOME What do I need to bring? You should bring water, solid shoes, seasonal clothing, a flashlight, binoculars and a sense of adventure for seeing sights and phenomena far beyond our daily workaday world. If you wish to sit during the 2-hour program you should bring folding chairs. If you're traveling by plane and cannot bring chairs, please let Dennis know in advance and he will have some available. Please do NOT bring a towel or blanket to sit on the ground; not only can it pick up irritating cactus needles, ants, scorpions, snakes and other small critters, it is a safety hazard for people walking around in the dark gazing skyward. CAMERAS & OTHER TELESCOPES Can I take photos through the telescope? The telescope is not designed for long-exposure photography; the program is strictly visual. However, if moon is visible that night you can try holding a camera or phone up to the eyepiece and snapping the shutter, but this can be a bit challenging so we'd wait until the end of the evening to try this if you wish. Can I bring a camera and tripod to shoot the sky directly? Certainly, but you'll be asked to set it up away from the group for safety. And, since light is not allowed at the observing site, you'll also need to disable your LCD screen, strobe and white flashlight. Keep in mind that, if you spend time with your camera, you'll miss much of the Sky Tour. You may, however, stay after the program to shoot the sky on your own. May I bring my own telescope? This is discouraged since participants would be distracted from the program for which they've paid. You may, however, stay after the program to set up and use your scope on your own . PRIVATE AND GROUP TOURS I have a group coming to town; do you offer group discounts? Absolutely, as long the date is outlined in white on the program calendar , and remains available. Please e-mail Dennis to inquire. A Private/Group Tour is $499 for 1-12 guests. What if my group is larger than 12 people? Groups with more than 12 are not recommended, since the personal experience then becomes more limited. In that case, each additional guest (beyond 12) is $30. If you've got a single group with more than 12 people you might consider breaking it into two separate evening sessions so that everyone receives the best possible experience. If that's not possible, we'll do our best to make it work though the number of objects seen through the telescope will be limited. Please e-mail Dennis directly to work out details, and see the Prices & Reservations page for Group Rate information. My group is holding an event in another town. Can you visit to do a Night Sky Tour there? Of course, as long as it's within reasonable driving distance of Borrego Springs and the calendar date is available. Events held elsewhere are charged at the Group Rate and do require travel expenses. SEEING THE MILKY WAY Will I see the Milky Way during our Night Sky Tour? It's possible. The Milky Way appears during at various times during the year, and only on moonless nights (green dates on the program schedule). We can see it during the winter months (December, January and February), though this portion of the Milky Way is rather faint. The time to see it at its best is during the summer months (late June, July and early August) when it appears to arc high overhead and streams very far to the south. During September and October it's still visible, but its southernmost section is beginning to vanish in the glow of lights from San Diego. Can I see all the spectacular colors I see in photographs? Absolutely not. First of all, cameras record colors and details that the human eye cannot see. Secondly, many of those highly-saturated photos you may have seen online are over-processed by novices and give the Milky Way a ghastly and terribly unrealistic look. The Milky Way appears as a quiet and subtle "cloud" that arcs across the sky and, to the eye, appears as a rather colorless and mottled band of light. RESTRICTIONS May I bring my pet? No, sorry. Pets can attract hungry coyotes, and they can be vulnerable to snake bites and being stepped on in the dark. In addition, some of our guests may have allergies to pet hair. Please arrange to leave your pet elsewhere during the few hours of our program. May I smoke on the tour? Please don't. Other guests (including your astronomer) may be negatively affected by smoke. If you choose to do so, however, you will be asked to move to area downwind from our group, and you will miss part of the program. AT THE OBSERVING SITE Will we be doing much walking? Not at all; we will park our vehicles at the observing site and walk only a few feet on flat sandy terrain to the telescope. That's it! Are there rest room facilities at our observing site? Since we'll be out in the desert, there are no restrooms there (OK, there are thousands of them!). Please be prepared for that. What about rattlesnakes and scorpions? Though it may appear barren and lifeless, the desert is alive with critters such as ants, scorpions, field mice, rattlesnakes, lizards, coyotes and more—some seasons more than others—but if you're careful you won't be bothered by any of them. It's always a good idea to wear solid shoes, use a flashlight when walking in the desert and, if you wish to sit, do so off of the ground on a chair, cooler, etc. In general, always be aware of your environment while in the desert. CANCELLATIONS Do I get a refund if I choose to cancel? Of course, but since ut a refund can be issued ONLY if your cancellation is received by 5 p.m. Pacific Time two days before your scheduled sky tour date. (For example, a Saturday sky tour must be cancelled by 5 p.m. PT on Thursday; a Friday sky tour cancellation must be received by 5 p.m. PT on Wednesday, and so on). Because these programs can be in high demand, cancellations received after that date and time cannot be refunded. Sorry. Can I reschedule instead of canceling? Absolutely but, like a refund, your request must be received by 5 p.m. Pacific Time two days before your scheduled sky tour date. WEATHER I've checked the long range weather forecast and it doesn't look good. Should I cancel my visit? That's up to you. Desert forecasts are often worth exactly what one pays for them. One should never trust a desert forecast more than a few minutes in advance, and even that can sometimes be wrong. Conditions here can change quickly and unexpectedly, especially after dark. There are never any guarantees when it comes to weather. We take what we get and we work with it. What kind of weather can force a cancellation? Keep in mind that a forecast and actual observing conditions are two completely different things. Cloud cover is only one factor that can affect observations; strong winds, blowing sand, high humidity and air turbulence (what astronomers call "seeing") can all influence observing conditions, and any one of them can cause cancellation of the night's program. Unfortunately, some of these do not show up on weather forecasts and cannot often be known in advance, and actual desert sky conditions can sometimes deviate quite far from the forecasts. What happens if the conditions are bad the day of my Sky Tour? Desert weather can change quickly and dramatically, but only rarely does it become so bad that we cannot observe. Dennis will monitor conditions that day, and if he determines that weather will force cancellation of the program he will send a text message later in the day to the cell phone number you provided (as well as a detailed e-mail), and you may then reschedule or receive a full refund. I'll be in town for a few days... if weather cancels the program can we do it the next night? Sometimes the following night can be used as a backup for those staying in town over a few nights. If, on the other hand, you're leaving town, you can look over the program calendar to select another date that would be convenient for you or choose to receive a refund.. Suppose I'm just driving into Borrego for the Night Sky Tour? Not a good idea. If you choose to make the round-trip drive without staying in town (at least for one night) you risk a long drive for nothing if a late weather cancellation becomes necessary. Borrego is at least two hours drive from most places, and this is never recommended , especially during the frequently-unstable desert weather patterns of winter and late summer. Please don't ask Dennis to make a weather decision before you leave home so you can avoid the drive; it's often impossible to judge a night's observing conditions in advance. There are plenty of other things to do in town that would make a longer stay more sensible. AFTER THE SKY TOUR Hey, this Sky Tour was great! How can I let others know about my experience? You can write a review of the program—and read others'—at TripAdvisor , Yelp .and the Borrego Night Sky Tours Facebook Page . Suppose I want to come back... will there be different things to see? Absolutely! The evening sky changes gradually throughout the year, and there are different celestial sights available during each season. For example, if you want to see the Milky Way in all its glory, the summer months are best. Can I book Dennis for an upcoming celestial event? Occasionally that might be possible, but his schedule is often booked more than a year ahead, and these events are frequently planned with local resorts or tour companies. He is available for other special events and presentations, however. Just email him directly. How can I keep up with other astronomical programs and sky events? There are several ways to stay informed. One is to check out Dennis' website . You may subscribe to his free e-mail newsletter , and you'll find even more timely information—plus the ability to interact with him and other sky watchers—on Facebook and Twitter . And, of course, don't forget his weekly syndicated column Stargazers , to which you may subscribe free via e-mail so you'll never miss another celestial event again!

Iran gives Venezuela $500 million credit line
Saturday, 27 June 2015 6:51 AM [ Last Update: Saturday, 27 June 2015 10:04 AM ]
Iran's Minister of Industry Mohammad Reza Nematzadeh and Minister for Foreign Affairs of Venezuela Delcy Rodriguez talk to reporters in Caracas.
Iran has agreed to a $500 million credit line for Venezuela to finance joint investments there, President Nicolas Maduro has announced.
He made the announcement after meeting Iranian Minister of Industry, Mine and Trade Mohammad Reza Nematzadeh in Caracas where the two sides signed six agreements to expand financial, economic, industrial and technological cooperation.
Among the agreements, there are plans for joint production of commodity goods, including detergents and other hygiene materials in Venezuela and Iran's sales of medical drugs and surgical equipment to the country.
Maduro said the two countries had also agreed to a "comprehensive plan" to develop a joint program in nanotechnology in which Iran is among the top seven world countries.
He said the deals would ensure a higher level of cooperation and deepen the bonds between the two nations.
Moreover, Iran agreed to transfer its expertise to Venezuela in combating an "economic war" on the Latin American country, Maduro said, apparently referring to Iran's experience in facing years of US-led sanctions.
"We are facing an economic war of monumental proportions; a brutal war (but) we are here attending to our people," Maduro said as he invoked the vision of the late President Hugo Chavez for "the government's union with the people and struggle against imperialism".
The Venezuelan head of state also hailed relations with Iran as "an example of alliance between two brother nations".
"Today we have mutual trust in our relations and we work together with results. Working with Iran has gone well and our cooperation has been a great success since Hugo Chavez began a strategic alliance and brotherhood with Iran," Maduro said.
Relations between Iran and Venezuela -- both critics of US policies -- have expanded in recent years. Iran is involved in a series of joint ventures worth several billion dollars in energy, agriculture, housing, and infrastructure sectors in Venezuela.
Iran's main industrial projects in Venezuela include a car assembly plant, a tractor manufacturing complex and a cement factory.
The Islamic Republic has also built more than 3,000 residential housing units for less privileged citizens in Venezuela, with 7,000 more to be completed.
A view from Kayson Venezuela, a residential housing development project, carried out by Iran's Kayson Company
Both countries are hugely rich in resources. Venezuela possesses the world's biggest oil deposit while Iran owns the fourth largest oil and first largest gas reserves of the world.
Maduro has announced his intention to visit Tehran to attend a summit of Gas Exporting Countries Forum planned for Nov. 23.

Gucci Mane just posted a sneak peak of his new music video for "Yeah Yeah," a previously released blammer with Yung Mal & Hoodrich Pablo Juan. The 45 second sampler gives fans an insider's look at the video shoot taking place at a marina. Gucci Mane begins by shouting out Ralo, ZMoney, Lil Quill, Lil Wop & Lil Baby, all in attendance signifying a roll call for artists signed to 1017 the label, barring Lil Baby who works exclusively out of QC Music.
Hoodrich Pablo can be seen dripping designer with money spread out like a fan, as the videographer takes a close up shot. Within the limits of time, Pablo also takes a moment to brag about his Delantic boxer briefs, a rare item from Gucci Mane's clothing capsule to go along with the sweatsuits he produced with Stadium Goods.
Like any Gucci Mane video shoot worth its weight in gold, Gucci Mane defies expectations that he cut himself off from excessive showiness. The eye-candy is present, as is the focus of the camera on luxury signifiers. Gucci Mane's teaser ends with several undubbed visuals flashed before the screen, one depicting Yung Mal lying on a literal bed of women, the other, a gang of them doing the ka-ching motion with their arms.

Bryan Baeumler
Baeumlers Offer Their Support to the Bahamian Community in Wake of Hurricane Dorian
Sep. 04, 2019 Frank Prendergast
Bryan and Sarah Baeumler, who have been busy restoring a resort on South Andros Island in Bahamas as documented in the HGTV Canada series Island of Bryan, are safe and sound.
The Baeumler family were not on the island when Hurricane Dorian hit the Bahamas. The Caerula Mar resort, where the series is filmed, was not damaged and all of the staff and Island of Bryan crew there are safe. However, the incredible path of destruction has had a huge impact on the surrounding area and the Bahamian community.
After receiving news of the hurricane's destruction, the Baeumlers organized a GoFundMe page and have pledged to match the donations. The Baeumler Family Charity will give 100 per cent of the proceeds directly to the Bahamas Out Islands in need. Their initial goal of $10,000 was surpassed within hours of launch, with contributions continuing to grow. The campaign runs until September 30, 2019.
In addition to the GoFundMe page, the Baeumlers and the Caerula Mar resort are offering to work directly with the local government, the Red Cross and other agencies to assist in recovery efforts. Following Hurricane Irma in 2017, Bryan helped assemble tractor-trailers filled with basic necessities and tools to help with reconstruction. The Baeumlers will be travelling back to Caerula Mar in the coming days.
The Caerula Mar Hurricane Dorian Relief GoFundMe campaign is being run through the Baueumler Family Foundation (a registered Canadian charity).
Note: The second season of Island of Bryan will premiere sometime in 2020. Stay tuned to HGTV.ca for the confirmed broadcast date.

At the exact moment I became a parent, I had a new appreciation for the expression "It takes a village." After giving birth, I suddenly wanted my Mom to move in with us. And even if I don't know you, I would have loved your Mom to move in too. Permanently. No questions asked.
The new role was overwhelming. I missed babysitting when I could return the precious screaming bundle to her Mama because now I was the Mom and I was supposed to know all the things.
This American Greetings' video brilliantly depicts the depths of this role. They interview candidates to fill a fictitious position. And the candidates are appalled.
One by one they begin refusing the job offer. Who would ever work without bathroom breaks, vacation time or even a salary? Where all hats are required, regardless of one's strengths or limitations.
Parenting is not meant to be journeyed alone. We need a team of safe people who have our family's best interest at heart. While this certainly includes relatives, there are so many others who can play critical roles in our children's lives.
As my children grow, my definition of mothering broadens and I am deeply grateful for everyone who loves them in small and profound ways.
This holiday, let's show unexpected appreciation to those who help us parent. These are the unspoken Mother's Day heroes.
Armed with only a neon pinny and a stop sign, crossing guards ward off danger and shepherd us quickly to safety. Three times every day, for not nearly enough money, they risk their lives protecting our children. Sounds like motherhood to me (minus the neon).
As a high school teacher, I have always revered Kindergarten teachers. Even more so now that I'm a Mom. More than 20 children all day, every day? With big emotions and drippy noses and adorable ideas and questions looped on repeat? Teachers are mothering superheroes.
My boys have been with the same coach for many years. He has taken them from timid to confident. Rookies to professionals (not literally). His belief in them transcends their own frustrations and limitations. And he has instilled an enduring love for the sport. Encouragement from the dugout? That is definitely motherhood.
Teenagers are consistently viewed suspiciously when shopping. So when an older cashier took the time to look my son in the eye, admire his cool thrift finds and commend his ability to make a dollar stretch…this mom was very grateful. Anyone who shows kindness to a misjudged sector deserves to be thanked today.
Reflect on who supports your child. A principal who believes the best in spite of the speed bumps? A friend who lovingly redirects your little one? A colleague who inspires your teen to set goals and stick to them? Shower the gratitude for these mothering acts.
Who can you honour from your village? They may be surprised to learn they are an important part of your team.
And in the true spirit of motherhood, consider who you might welcome into your circle. Speak life to a discouraged friend. High five a child you catch in an act of kindness. Genuinely admire a teenager's talents.
Every holiday, my friend prepares a banqueting feast for her son and his college friends who are far from home. There are no expectations – just come as you are and be fed. She uses her heart for hospitality to make these boys feel cared for.
Mothering ripples are profoundly powerful.
Yes! It definitely takes a village! Great post. Happy Mother's Day to you as well!
So very true my friend! I'm thankful for those who have loved and continue to love (my now grown kids) throughout the years!
Absolutely Laura! And now your kids are part of "parenting" many children and teens in their own circles. Grateful for all of you.
Amen Karen, "its takes a village to raise a child.." is a saying I often heard when I was growing up from my mom. I finally understood it when we had our children.
So very Thankful to our older kids that often help us out with our little girl.. this past week end we were away and each one of our three older kids had her for an over night.
I LOVE this video! Thank you for posting it. Mothers are Super heroes!
Thanks Carrie. Happy Mother's Day to you too!
Happy Mother's Day to you…and you…and you! I never knew how much I admired preschool teachers until I went into my daughter's class and saw her teacher taking care of 18 tiny children at once, still with a smile on her face. If that isn't mothering, I don't know what is!
You are so right! Teaching wee ones is a high calling!


The holidays just got SO much better.
What makes this cheesecake gluten free?
Typically a cheesecake crust is made out of crushed graham crackers. You can look for gluten-free grahams—or make a crust with almond flour like ours, which is so delicious.
We also like to add a little bit of flour to our cheesecake batter so that it holds together. Here, we add a gluten-free flour (like Cup4Cup), but you can sub in almond flour if you don't mind a nuttier flavor and texture.
Preheat oven to 350° and grease an 8" or 9" springform pan with cooking spray. Make crust: In a large bowl, stir together almond flour, sugar, melted butter, and salt. Press into bottom of prepared pan and bake until lightly golden, 15 minutes. Let cool completely before adding filling and reduce oven temperature to 325°.
Meanwhile, make filling: In a large bowl using a hand mixer (or in the bowl of a stand mixer), beat cream cheese and sugar together until light and fluffy no lumps remain. Add eggs, one at a time, then beat in vanilla and sour cream. Add flour and salt and beat until just combined. Pour mixture over cooled crust.
Wrap bottom of pan in aluminum foil and place in a large roasting pan. Pour in enough boiling water to come up halfway to the baking pan. Bake until center of cheesecake only slightly jiggles, about 1 hour 15 minutes.
Turn off heat, prop open oven door, and let cheesecake cool in oven, 1 hour. Remove foil and refrigerate cheesecake for at least 5 hours and up to overnight.

Mr. Lance Hall Keeps Physical Plant Running During COVID
Harry Knight '21, News Editor
May 21, 2020|8 Views
While students have been sent home due to social distancing protocols, Loomis Chaffee's essential workers have remained on campus. Some workers such as Mr. Lance Hall, director of the Physical Plant, still drive to Loomis every day to keep up with their work.
"Currently I spend about 25 hours a week on campus keeping up to date on construction projects and routine items associated with the Physical Plant," Mr. Hall said.
Although this new schedule is a decrease from his usual 45 to 50-hour workweek during a normal school year, Mr. Hall fills his time with taking up teaching responsibilities with his wife as they supplement his eight-year-old son's virtual learning.
Despite changes with his work schedule and with life at home, Mr. Hall says that the biggest change he has experienced has been with the Loomis community.
"[T]he biggest change is the people\; I miss our normal spring on the Island, as, right now it is just eerily silent," Mr. Hall said.
Having a job that is now relatively free of one-on-one interaction, Mr. Hall misses the moments of connection at Loomis. The hardest part for Mr. Hall has been not being able to offer support to community members in such a hard time.
"I know many folks are dealing with so much right now and [I just want to be] able to offer a fist bump or pat on the shoulder of reassurance," Mr. Hall said.
Having seen members of his community taking extra precautions to stay healthy and follow state regulations, Mr. Hall recognizes that the power to stop the virus is in the hands of the American public.
"I have been impressed with how many people locally have responded… I do believe so much of this relies on us as responsible citizens," Mr. Hall said.

Posted by Stephanie on November 24, 2017
It's no secret that of late DC Comics has struggled to put forth the kind of cinematic success that its counterpart, Marvel practically has down to a science.
Following the particularly sour taste of "Batman v Superman" and "Suicide Squad," the DC Universe is a little on edge, even after the incredible triumph of "Wonder Woman" this summer.
Unfortunately, right from the get-go, one thing is painfully clear about this superhero collaboration — "Wonder Woman" had not been released when they began filming "Justice League."
It's not a question of character continuity or story, so much as a clear lack of any recognition of the lessons learned from Diana's independent success. While it's also clear that they did attempt to do what they could to apply the lessons of "Wonder Woman," their fate was in many ways already sealed.
I can understand why the story begins with Batman (Ben Affleck), last we saw him he was working to assemble these heroes, it feels a bit odd to make Wonder Woman, the most redeeming part of "Batman v Superman," and most successful character of this franchise, the second fiddle. Not to mention that when Alfred (Jeremy Irons) is encouraging Bruce to reach out to Diana (Gal Gadot) the implications are just as much romantic as they are professional. Thankfully, nothing seems to come of that.
To their credit, Wonder Woman does end up being a semi-secondary leader of this motley crew (for a while anyhow), but the journey there is a bit meandering with the introduction of not one, not two, but three members of the Justice League, who make their debuts in this movie.
Aquaman (Jason Momoa), the Flash (Ezra Miller), and Cyborg (Ray Fisher) are all delightful additions, but we honestly don't learn much about them.
Oh, and by the way, they're assembling the Justice League to fight an ancient evil, Steppenwolf (Ciarán Hinds), once banished by the Amazons, Atlantisians, and the ancient humans, who's set on transforming Earth into a hellscape. Yep, that's right, Diana is the only one familiar with this villain, but Batman should definitely take the lead on this, guys.
I will say the movie is not in any way painful to watch. In fact, it's quite entertaining with some genuinely great moments. My personal favorite moment was the final admission, by the Caped Crusader himself no less, that Superman is the superior hero. In all honesty though, Batman's ownership of his superpower—being born into wealth and privilege — and acknowledgment that Superman is in many ways more human than he could ever be, is a wonderful moment of awareness for the film. Cherish it.
To be fair, bringing together a group of larger than life characters is always a challenge. Even Marvel struggles when it brings everyone together for its Avengers films (relatively speaking). But DC made it three times as difficult by failing to introduce three of its League members before bringing them together. "Wonder Woman" aside, this was I think overall a step in the right direction for these stories, and I look forward to seeing how they continue to (fingers crossed) learn from their greatest hero moving forward.

Unity Rd. Franchise Opportunity – Cannabis Dispensary:
Unity Rd.'s VP of Communications to Present at YoungConference
By: Unity Rd. Franchise Opportunity – Cannabis Dispensary | 1 Shares 114 Reads
Cannabis Dispensary Franchise Joins Impressive Roster of Franchise Leaders and Innovators for Invite-Only Franchise Event for Millennial Professionals
January 26, 2022 // Franchising.com // PHOENIX - Unity Rd., the cannabis dispensary franchise from Item 9 Labs Corp. (OTCQX: INLB), continues to solidify their position as industry trailblazers. Vice President of Communications Jayne Levy is presenting at YoungConference, an event geared for the Millennial generation of franchise leaders, January 30 – February 1 in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. Unity Rd. will be presenting on how franchising has made its entrance into cannabis, providing an inside look at the roadmap to franchising a cannabis concept, value it brings to franchising and future industry growth.
Innovative franchise C-Suites will gather and learn from one another through an intensive series of back-to-back workshops on the latest and greatest strategies in franchise development, digital marketing, and business technologies. In addition to Unity Rd., attendees will have the opportunity to hear from other franchise leaders such as Michael Browning, CEO of Unleashed Brands, Laura Rea Dickey, CEO of Dickey's Barbeque, and Tony Zaccario, CEO of Stretch Zone.
A prime example of a millennial franchising leader, Levy has worked in franchise-focused communications for more than a decade. She has executed public relations initiatives for 70-plus franchisors, spanning across 20 different industries and networks of one to 3,000-plus locations. She joined the Unity Rd. team in December 2017 and, upon Item 9 Labs Corp.'s acquisition of the franchise in March 2021, has taken a lead role in guiding internal and external communications across the Company.
"With my diverse franchise background, I know what tools, strategies, and business tactics are needed to make a franchise company that's built to last," said Levy. "Throughout my career, I've watched several of today's top franchise players grow from small chains to giants in their respective industries and have had the honor to be part of Unity Rd.'s growth from its early days to a roster of 20 partners building the brand across the U.S."
Levy added, "Cannabis is a 25-plus billion dollar a year industry that's still in its infancy, and it's opportunities like YoungConference, where we can share the stage with other franchise executives and teach developing franchise professionals about the flourishing cannabis industry, that will help normalize franchising's hottest sector."
Unity Rd. is the first to franchise cannabis dispensaries on a national scale in the United States. Prospective industry entrepreneurs have deemed Unity Rd. the go-to franchise opportunity for entering and navigating the complex cannabis industry. The marijuana dispensary franchise is actively seeking qualified partners who would benefit from the systems, processes and ongoing support the franchise offers. Currently, Unity Rd. has multiple agreements signed with nearly 20 entrepreneurial groups who are in various stages of development nationwide.
To learn more about the Unity Rd. franchise opportunity, contact franchise@unityrd.com, call 720-923-5262 or visit unityrd.com.

The following dates are available for this trial. Trial information last updated on 18 December 2015.


Our lives are busier than ever – they're so complex when simplicity will do.
We're programed from a young age to relentlessly, often ruthlessly pursue 'more'. We push ourselves to the extreme to try and reach success. We're totally unconscious to the fact that we're slowly and painfully killing ourselves, from the inside out.
If we're lucky, we get to retirement without collapsing – we think we have to make it to retirement before we can relax. By the time we get there we're often sick and end up spending our time shuffling between doctor's appointments.
What if we could consciously make the decision to make some changes NOW? What if we could stop, smell the roses and enjoy our lives NOW?
Here's 5 tips that will help you 'Keep It Super Simple' and navigate the demands of life in a very different way.
Tip #1: What if They're Wrong?
Generally this means we're taught the 'right' and 'appropriate way to behave. What we're not taught is that social patterns differ vastly depending on the social structure within which we find ourselves. This means that what we are taught depends entirely upon which family, community, state, country, school and so on we happen to be born into and raised within.
Our social conditioning usually takes the form of direct and indirect rewards or punishment to move us towards adopting the behaviours and beliefs of our family and community. In essence, most of us are 'brainwashed' to go through life on auto-pilot without ever questioning our behaviour.
Often the result of this is that we go through our lives trying to squash our beliefs into a format that matches our social conditioning. We tend to spend most of our life being the person we're 'supposed to' be and very rarely get the opportunity to be the person we are.
The best way to challenge the auto-pilot is to learn to ask the question 'What if they're wrong?' Asking this question will allow you to step back and get a different perspective on your struggle.
One of the most complicated parts of our lives can be the toxic relationships we have.
… either without realising they're toxic, or because we feel we have no choice but to have them in our lives.
Toxic relationships aren't just with people. They can be with groups, workplaces, organisations, things, substances and habits. Every family and society assigns roles to it's members and each person plays a part in the whole system. Every influence in your conditioning plays a part in shaping who you become, how you interact and the way in which you move through life.
Sometimes we take on roles that are good and beneficial for us, but often we're just dragged into the drama of life. The drama triangle is a psychological and social model for human interaction first described by Stephen Karpman, M.D.
Triangles are situations where there are three people locked in a battle of some sort. Each person takes on a role of either a persecutor, a victim or a rescuer. The victim is always the party who assigns the roles.
Triangles can take up a significant proportion of our time. They're very rarely productive and can often go on and on with no result. Removing yourself from triangles will reduce the stress and complexity in your life exponentially. Take the time to identify and extricate yourself from the triangles in your life and watch how much extra time suddenly appears!
Tip # 3: Beat Busy!
I'm so busy …. it's become the pre-requisite for proving that your life is a success.
We fill our lives with layer after layer of 'stuff' so that we can prove to everyone we're busy. Every second of every day must give us a story of what we've done, where we've been and who we were with. If we don't have this, then what have we got?
Our lives have become a competition amongst ourselves as to who is the busiest. We get out of bed in the morning and work really hard to polish our 'busy badges' until they shine. We proudly pin our badge to our lapel then go out into the day to see what else we can add to our schedule that will make our badge gleam every brighter.
We're consumed by the busy-off we're caught in, but most of us aren't even aware that we're competing for the title. Sure we're tired, exhausted and often run down, but we power through so that we can show how resilient and tough we are – stopping is NEVER an option.
Busy is a badge that you can put down. Test everything in your life with the question 'How does this feel?'. If there's an ounce of struggle associated then you know you need to question what you can do to remove the struggle from your life.
If you stop to think about it, everything we say has the potential to come to fruition in our life – especially if we repeat it often.
The language we use is very powerful and it's perhaps the most ignored aspect of our daily lives. When we are running on auto-pilot (as most of us are), we very rarely stop to take stock of what is happening in our lives. We're conditioned to accept that where we are, what we do and how we do it is exactly where we're supposed to be.
They way you speak to yourself can be one of the most detrimental or the most powerful influences in your life. Take notice of what the 'mean girl' in your head is saying to you on a regular basis.
Begin to notice the things you use as part of your story every day that aren't true and perhaps don't work for you anymore. Try to find another way to tell the story – a way that supports you and the things you want in your life.
Cut out the noise and watch your life turn the most amazing corner. Find the simplicity in listening to yourself.
Our lives are enhanced and broadened when we approach situations with an open mind.
Technology can be great, and amazing advances are made every day that can save lives, improve communication globally and make our lives easier and more efficient.
But technology has also made us busier than ever before and adds a layer of complexity to our lives that serves to disconnect us. We have seen massive changes in the way that communication occurs with the advent of social media, the use of text-messaging, emails and online news, weather and communication channels.
This may make our life more efficient in some areas, but it also serves to disconnect us from the human aspect of community. What we're now seeing is the impact of individuals sitting behind a computer screen and how easy it is to go on the attack with no thought about the impact on the individual you are attacking.
It's almost vital for us to program time without technological connection in our lives. Try to find at least 30 to 60 minutes once a week where you are disconnect from the technology in your life.
Without personal connection our society will become totally and emotionally disconnected, and the decisions we make as a community will be disjointed and will serve only a small portion of our interests.
The greater good will no longer exist, and if that happens we might as well become machines.
