I am a huge Harry Potter fan and love all things magical. While the cookbook is not associated with or authorized by JK Rowling, her publishers or Warner Brothers, it celebrates all things magical that we have come to love about this series.
I loved how the cookbook incorporates healthy eating while still presenting them in a fun, magical and spellbinding way. It is very important that young wizards look after their health and eat a balanced diet. The cookbook is divided into: breakfast, snacks and small treats, lunch, dinner, dessert and drinks.

Some of my favourites from the book included Bath Buns, Witch Hat Quesadillas, Bubble and Squeak and Fizzy Whizbees. There were also quite a few that you will recognize right off the bat – chicken pot pie, mashed potatoes and gravy, chicken fingers and sheet pan pizza. I loved the variety of recipes – from the easy to a bit more complicated. It allows you to have a bit more freedom in the kitchen especially with the little ones so that they can gain confidence with the first few recipes and are able to build on this foundation. The recipes themselves are easy to follow with very clear instructions that are geared to both young and older cooks. The accompanying photographs of the final products were delicious looking and were actually what we looked at first when we were deciding on what to try making first.
The Unofficial Hogwarts Cookbook for Kids will be a huge hit this Halloween season (and all year round because lets face it, who doesn't love a little bit of magic at home?!).

A Reckless Match Book Review
A Reckless Match is the first in a new regency romance series by Kate Bateman about two feuding families, and reunited childhood enemies whose hatred turns to love.
About A Reckless Match
Madeline Montgomery grew up despising––and secretly loving––the roguish Gryffud "Gryff" Davies. Their families have been bitter rivals for hundreds of years, but even if her feelings once crossed the line between love and hate, she's certain Gryff never felt the same. Now, she's too busy saving her family from ruin to think about Gryff and the other "devilish" Davies siblings. Since he's off being scandalous in London, it's not like she'll ever see him again.
As the new Earl of Powys, Gryff Davies planned on spending his post-war life enjoying the pleasures of London. But when an illegal duel forces him to retreat to his family's Welsh castle, he realizes the only exciting thing in the dull countryside will be seeing the fiery Maddie Montgomery. Thoughts of his nemesis sustained Gryff throughout the war; but the girl he loved to tease has grown into a gorgeous, headstrong woman – who loathes him just as much as she ever did. Will secret tunnels, dangerous smugglers, and meddling from their feuding families be enough to make Maddie and Gryff realize that their animosity is really attraction…and maybe even love?
In A Reckless Match, we have a young man and woman from two feuding families – sworn to hate each other but both whom are very much attracted to each other and trying to hide these feelings.
Madeline will do everything she can to save her family, she is strong, smart and will not give up. I loved her character and her strength and determination. She is not your typical female character from this type period, not feeling any urgency to marry nor to conform to societal norms. She is a beautiful, free spirit that will not let others tell her what to do. That was until she learned of her father's debt and the impact this could have on her life – now she must make some serious decisions to ensure not only her security but her family as well. Enter what sounds like her childhood crush (also her sworn family enemy) and we have instant chemistry.
Together the duo stumble upon secret tunnels, a smuggling business hidden right under their feet and the start of them both acknowledging their feelings for each other. I loved both the seriousness of the situation and the flirty romance that begins between the pair. You can feel the spark between the two of them and how well they would fit together but will it work? Can they move past their family history? And can they overcome what is happening underneath their lands in order to have some sort of future together? The path that the two of them embark upon is full of ups and downs but it is perfect for their story. I loved every moment of this fun romance.

The Son of the House Book Review
In The Son of the House, the lives of two Nigerian women divided by class and social inequality intersect when they're kidnapped, held captive, and forced to await their fate together.
About The Son of the House
In the Nigerian city of Enugu, young Nwabulu, a housemaid since the age of ten, dreams of becoming a typist as she endures her employers' endless chores. She is tall and beautiful and in love with a rich man's son.
Educated and privileged, Julie is a modern woman. Living on her own, she is happy to collect the gold jewellery lovestruck Eugene brings her, but has no intention of becoming his second wife.
When a kidnapping forces Nwabulu and Julie into a dank room years later, the two women relate the stories of their lives as they await their fate.
Pulsing with vitality and intense human drama, Cheluchi Onyemelukwe-Onuobia's debut is set against four decades of vibrant Nigeria, celebrating the resilience of women as they navigate and transform what still remains a man's world.
In The Son of the House, two women who are from two classes and social walks of life are brought together by a kidnapping and as the story unravels we learn just how connected these two women really are.
The story starts in the present with the kidnapping but we are soon brought back to the beginning of their personal stories and learn the personal stories of each of the women. Reading their journey left me in awe – their stories are powerful and moving. Each journey, while different, has similar elements. The women have struggled, suffered, and despite it all keep moving forward, day by day.
Nwabulu is a bright woman, who was full of promise – she was smart, hard working and determined. She balances her role as housemaid, caregiver for her young charge with her studies. Her downfall? A young, rich man who promised her the world but left and denied her when she needed him the most. While her dreams begin to unravel, she remains her dignity, strength and courage. I was in awe of her strength and determination, despite the way she was treated by those who should have protected her.
Julie, in so many ways is the opposite – a young modern woman living on her own and infatuated with a married man. She is independent and does not want to settle down and get married. All of this changes when she loses several people close to her. She sets herself down a very dangerous path of lies in the pursuit of happiness and honouring her family.
I loved every moment of this novel – learning about the history of both women, the path their lives took, their resilience and how their lives were connected. I have to admit, I did not see the twist coming at all! But it fit perfectly in the novel. The story is full of hope, forgiveness, pain and the impact of family and cultural beliefs can have on our journey. The Son of the House is a must read novel for both young adults and adults – you will not want to put this one down.

Safe Harbour Book Review
In Safe Harbour, as far-fetched as her father's plan sounds, sticking to it is easy for Harbour — until it isn't.
About Safe Harbour
Fourteen-year-old Harbour is living in a tent in a Toronto ravine with her dog, a two-month supply of canned tuna, and an unconventional reading list. She's not homeless, she tells herself. She's merely waiting for her home — a thirty-six-foot sailboat — to arrive with her father at the helm. Why should she worry when the clouds give her signs that assure her that she's safe and protected?
When her credit card gets declined, phone contact from her father stops, and summer slips into a frosty fall, Harbour is forced to face reality and accept the help of a homeless teen named Lise to survive on the streets. Lise shows Harbour how to panhandle and navigate the shelter system while trying to unravel Harbour's mysterious past. But if Harbour tells her anything, the consequences could be catastrophic.
Safe Harbour is a powerful book that touches on several important topics including homelessness, child welfare system and mental illness told with compassion, understanding and sensitivity.
Fourteen year old Harbour has found herself living in a Toronto ravine in a tent with her dog Tuff Stuff while she waits for her Dad to join her on his sailboat. As we learn, this is not unusual – Harbour has had a very interesting childhood. She has been homeschooled in an untraditional manner – learning more about real life application about topics close to her Father's heart. Harbour is kind, thoughtful and independent. She is used to being on her own and making do, this time getting by on cans of tuna and crackers. But this time, something is not quite right as the days turn in to weeks waiting for her Father. She develops a friendship with a young woman named Lise, who helps show her how to survive on the streets of Toronto especially as fall is closing in quickly and the weather is changing quite quickly. She also helps her to realize and support her when it appears something bad has happened to her Father and he may not be coming.
This was a beautifully written book that many times had me in tears over the kindness and compassion that Harbour finds in Lise. Being witness to their struggles on the streets of Toronto hurts, hearing the stories of the youth, their struggles with the system breaks your heart because you know that these stories hold true for so many of our youth. Lise approaches life with caution but with humour, getting by by trusting her instincts and the people who have been there for her judgement free. Both young women are trying to get through each day looking for food for themselves and Tuff Stuff, to keep warm and clean, and to find a way to move forward while facing extreme weather, mistrust of the system and being judged by society. While the ending may not be an ending that all youth will experience, it warmed my heart and helped bring the story full circle.
Safe Harbour was an incredible read from start to finish that I could not put down. It is perfect for all age groups and covers some very important topics with compassion. Safe Harbour is a definite must read novel this summer!

The efficient cook stoves for the Ambalona school lunch program in Madagascar are built and ready to be used! Here is the latest update from Fidi, AI and the HFM field technician in Madagascar. Fidi has been working with local villagers to build brick stoves in order to cook lunches for the 200 children attending primary school in the village of Ambalona. These stoves require much less wood that open fire pits, and work great for slow cooking rice and vegetables from the school gardens!

DULUTH EAST (NO. 5, 18-6-2) VS. ST. THOMAS ACADEMY (NO. 4, 24-3-1), 8 P.M.
Scouting the Cadets: The team's 18-game winning streak catches the eye. But it's the less-heralded efforts of an improved defensive corps that excites co-head coach Greg Vannelli. "We've got five guys back there who have been so steady," he said. "We've told them that their points don't matter, we just want them taking care of our end." The Cadets turned stingy down the stretch, allowing no more than one goal in their past 10 games. Up front, St. Thomas Academy solidified a strong second line with the return of senior Ben Stucker from injury.
Scouting the Greyhounds: After announcing Nov. 26 that he rescinded his verbal commitment to play at North Dakota, elite forward Ryder Donovan reopened himself to the recruiting grind. Duluth East coach Mike Randolph said those distractions hurt Donovan's game. On the eve of the Section 7 playoffs, Donovan announced his verbal commitment to Wisconsin. Then he tallied a goal in all three postseason games, including the overtime winner in the section final against favored Andover. He has 15 goals and 27 assists this season. "Putting that decision behind him relaxed him," Randolph said.
Worth knowing: In the 2015 state quarterfinals, Duluth East overcame a pair of three-goal deficits to earn a 6-5 upset victory over the Cadets in overtime.

The plastic free July challenge made me aware of just how many little plastic items are constantly a part of our lives, especially at a cookout. These are just a few examples of items that could be "greenified" at your next BBQ. The more you let your friends know, the more they'll start doing it too.
Compostable cutlery is better than plastic and you can barely tell the difference. These are great for when you have a bunch of random people coming over and might feel like you want to cater to what "normal" looks like.
These sugarcane and bamboo fiber plates are also very normal looking and sturdy, same for this compostable party pack that is just ready to go with cups, forks, and plates at a reasonable price. Having it all in one place makes it easy compared to the zillions of options out there. If you're just getting started this could be the easiest place to start.
Another disposable option is a more earthy palm leaf like this set of forks, knives and plates. I personally think the earthy style is more fun, but it's up to you and the guests you'll be having over. A table of banana leaves, pineapples and these would make it feel so tropical that it wouldn't even seem like an eco friendly act, but the ultimate party vibe.
My favorite by far is the paper plate with fun prints on it. These watermelon ones shout summer for me and they still keep you plastic free.
There's something about straws and balloons that are just really fun to see. Unfortunately they aren't very good for the planet. So, instead of those, grab a whole bunch of flowers for color and decorative fruits. A pineapple and tropical flowers bring festivity to any room. If you really do want to have straws at your party, get some paper ones instead. The stripes are fun, but they also have cute fruity prints that would complement any giant fruit salad display really well.
The greenest thing you can do is use something that can be used again and again instead of just once. If it's small enough of a party consider using a ton of mason jars for cups. Yes, you'll have a little clean up time, but they'll be there for you when ever you need them and can double as tupper ware and vases way after the party is over.
The regular old ones are actually very cheap and will last you or you can kind of splurge and get a set of fun ones with handles.
Yes, they have a plastic straw, but it is reusable so they can be washed up and used many times over. Similarly these fruity themed tops can be put on your mason jars instead of buying a single use to-go drink and burning through plastic each time. If it helps you use less plastic over time in the end it's the greener option. Of course plain old mason jars with some fruits floating in them are lovely enough too and the absolute greenest of all the options.
If you're still looking for disposable than try compostable cups. They look a heck of a lot like the real thing, don't they? You're guests wont be even to tell unless they take their glasses out.
If you're budget is a little higher consider giving your guests a set of utensils to keep as a fun parting gift. Sometimes being the change is really awkward because no one else is doing it. If you've got a good group coming over, then they might be more than happy to make the switch with you and then tell their friends at work where they got their new toy. At about $12 each it's not an outrageous little parting gift for a birthday party or some special occasion. Un-birthday's count!
And my last piece of advice is to try and be more plant based. Try the vegan hotdogs out on people. See if they can even tell. See my review for Beyond Meat burgers and give them a try. If you like meat then enjoy yourself on your special day, but don't rule out infusing some plant based eats into your celebration. A well-made, colorful salad can actually be a real show stopper. Let your guests have access to tons of fruits and veggies in addition to what ever you decide to grill up. Marinated tofu veggie sticks are one of my favorite things. Let there be options. They all taste great, too!


Mubai helped her smooth down her hair that was tousled by the wind and continued speaking in a gentle tone. "So, don't blame yourself. You should feel happy, because this is not the worst ending for them."
"But we gave them hope and promised them freedom to live the lives they wanted This time, I was too nave." Xinghe laughed self-deprecatingly. She'd thought the world would accept them with open arms since they were innocent victims. Their talents would ensure that the world valued them. But in the end, the world was as ugly as ever; nothing had really changed. Therefore, this time, she had committed the sin of naivety!
Mubai tried to comfort her. "It is the same with me. Technically speaking, I should have seen this coming, but I didn't much less you, so this is not your fault but mine; I should have envisioned this ending."
Xinghe looked at him silently with her clear eyes. Mubai raised his brow. "Is there something on my face?"
She just wanted to show her appreciation, because she did feel comforted.
"I want to go find Shi Jian and the guys. We should explain this to them, they deserve this much," Xinghe said.
Mubai stood up and pulled her along. "You're right, let's go."
"Okay." Xinghe quickly recovered her mood, removing the negative emotions from within her. She knew she had to give Shi Jian's group an explanation. It was something she had to do.
When they found out Xinghe was going to meet Shi Jian and the guys, SamWolf volunteered to follow. After a few days of interaction, Sam had formed a relationship with the guys. Even the rest of SamWolf felt strangely connected to them.
They were such people, kind people with passionate hearts. If they accepted someone as their friend, they would do anything to help them. They treated their friends with sincerity, so they wanted to tag along to meet Shi Jian and the guys because this might be the last opportunity they had to do that.
However, to their surprise, the United Nations were one step faster than them; they were already in the middle of escorting them away.
"Why do we have to follow you? Where are you taking us?" Shi Jian and the few influential leaders of the moon base were in the middle of a hostile confrontation with George's forces. George was in his military outfit and behind him were a few soldiers armed with guns. It was obvious that this was not a friendly visit.
George tried to placate them. "Don't worry, we will not harm any of you. You will know when we arrive where we are taking you. I promise, no harm will come to any of you."
Shi Jian was not so easily fooled. "If you do not mean to harm us, then why bring along armed soldiers?"
"They are here to protect you all."
"From the way I see it, they are here to harm us. Where are Miss Xia and the others? I want to see them!"
"I'm here," Xinghe announced as she strode into the room. Shi Jian and the guys' eyes lit up when they saw her like they had taken a glimpse at hope.
"Miss Xia, what is going on? My men have been detained by these people; where are they taking us?" Shi Jian asked with uncertainty, but it was clear that he still had full trust in Xinghe.
Xinghe's gaze darted about. She did not answer him but asked George, "I wish to talk to them alone, is that possible?"
George nodded. "Of course, but don't take too long."

Court of Appeals rules "wet" marijuana illegal under Medical Marijuana Law
cristinew replied to cristinew's topic in Michigan News
Medical marijuana caregivers and cultivators in Michigan can't process their plants without breaking the law as a result of a Michigan Court of Appeals decision this month, according to cannabis lawyers. "Wet marijuana" -- a loose term for the time between when a marijuana plant is cut and fully dried for consumption -- is not covered by state law, according to a Court of Appeals ruling July 19. "Now, they've made it so you can't even comply with the law," said Matthew Abel, senior partner of Cannabis Counsel LLC. "Obviously, it doesn't go immediately from being a plant to being dried cannabis. There has to be a drying, or curing process. I think this court lacks some understanding." The appeals court case -- People v. Vanessa Mansour -- stems from an incident in which police raided Mansour's Troy home, where there were marijuana plants, buds in various stages of drying, and dried marijuana buds. Mansour was a medical marijuana patient. Michigan's first licensed medical marijuana facilities in limbo A key component of the seed-to-sale system - safety compliance - has not yet been licensed. Mansour's defense argued that the marijuana that was drying was not usable -- and therefore qualified her for immunity under state law and should not be considered as authorities drew up their charges. A Michigan Court of Appeals decision had set precedent for that argument, said one of Mansour's lawyers, Neil Rockind. A trial court disagreed, and the Michigan Court of Appeals upheld that decision in its July 19 ruling. In its decision, the Court of Appeals relied heavily on a previous ruling it had made -- People v. Carruthers -- before state law was changed. "To say that the legislature makes it legal to possess growing plants and to possess a limited amount of finished product -- but that in between, everybody is just illegal -- that's the interpretation that the Court of Appeals has hoisted on everybody," Rockind said. The Carruthers ruling is outdated and not relevant, Rockind said. Rockind said it conflicts with state law and with People vs. Manuel, which the Court of Appeals previously decided. The Michigan Supreme Court has already had to refer a medical marijuana case back to the Court of Appeals due to the Manuel ruling, Rockind said. "I don't think the legal system has for the most part embraced the medical marijuana initiative," Rockind said. "I think the legal system has been very slow, and in some ways defensive, of a view of marijuana as illegal." Abel said the ruling was not logical and didn't make sense -- and makes it difficult for lawyers like him to give sound legal advice to clients. "Someone needs to give the judges a forensic exam to see if they're all there," Abel said. "What they've done is continue to make a mess of the law." Rockind said he plans to take the case to the Michigan Supreme Court. "We fully intend to appeal, we're not going to back down from a fight and we're not going to back down from this fight," Rockind said. "On behalf of my client and our clients, for patients, caregivers and all of us this fight has to be fought." Medical marijuana in Michigan has faced a bumpy road since votersapproved a ballot measure in 2008. The Michigan legislature attempted to clarify the system in 2017, but the subsequent licensing and regulatory system has been slow to get off the ground. The first medical marijuana licenses were issued July 12. A key component in the new framework -- a marijuana testing facility -- has yet to be licensed, delaying the full launch of the industry under the new system. Voters in Michigan will soon be asked to consider a ballot proposal Nov. 8 that would make recreational marijuana legal in the state.

http://wnmufm.org/post/court-appeals-rules-wet-marijuana-illegal-under-medical-marijuana-law#stream/0 LANSING, MI (MPRN)-- Marijuana that's not yet fully processed is not covered by Michigan's Medical Marijuana law, and that opens some growers up to possible prosecution. It's called wet marijuana. Pot that's harvested from the plant but not dried out yet. The State Court of Appeals says that marijuana isn't usable, so it's not covered by the Medical Marijuana law. That means a person can be arrested for having it even if they are a licensed grower. DJ Hilson is the Muskegon County Prosecutor. He says the court's clear decision helps law enforcement as well as growers. "There is no guessing. They know the bright line rule and I would assume that would be beneficial to everybody." Medical marijuana defense lawyers say the new rule creates a problem for their clients. That's because it's almost guaranteed that during the growing process their plants will become illegal while they dry. TAGS:

Mike Hailwood's victorious return to the Isle of Man in 1978 after an 11 year retirement from racing is legendary, no one could believe that at 38 years old he could master the grueling six lap, 226 mile course after such a long break. Ducati's subsequent homage was to produce the 1979 MHR 900, a 'Mike Hailwood Replica' of the bike used in that race based on the existing 900SS model.
Originally intended as a limited edition the model proved to be very popular and evolved through several versions eventually becoming the Mille with an electric starter until production ceased in 1985.
This early example was purchased from Hailwood and Gould by British Film and TV actor Oliver Tobias, and ordered with the rare gas adjustable front suspension option. Kept in his collection the bike was sympathetically restored in 2013 and shows a genuine 24,322 miles. Most importantly it is supplied with the factory authentication certificate showing the frame number 900250 and the engine number 090004 as well as photos of Oliver collecting the bike from Mike Hailwood himself.
Probably one of the finest examples of an early production model MHR available this bike is in excellent / pristine condition throughout and is great running order. 2018 marked the 40th anniversary of Hailwood's TT victory this is a great opportunity to purchase a truly great example with a unique history attached.

"King of Schlock" is not a title most directors would embrace. But William Castle was not like his peers.
More a showman than a true visionary, Castle's body of work doesn't include many groundbreaking classics or sequences that could be considered truly terrifying. And yet his films enjoyed great financial success. Why? Because he gave audiences exactly what they wanted: gimmick-laden terror rides. Indeed, he was the P.T. Barnum of the genre.
Born William Schloss in New York City in 1914, he changed his last name to Castle when he decided to go into acting.
He notched a few years as a dialogue coach for Columbia Pictures before making his directorial debut in 1944 with The Whistler, the first in a series of detective films.
By the 1950s, he was helming westerns, gangster pictures and dramas for the same studio...all of them 'B' projects.
And so Castle decided that if he was going to make his mark in the business, he would have to start his own production company. Henri-Georges Clouzot's Diabolique was released in the United States in 1955 and was a huge influence on other directors, including Castle.
He produced and directed 1958's Macabre, based on the novel "The Marble Forest" by Theo Durant. The story concerned a young girl who is kidnapped and buried alive in a cemetery, while the suspect responsible demands that his ransom be met. Like Diabolique, the film ends with a surprise twist.
Castle was not impressed with the final result and added his own special promotion: he would insure each member of the audience for $1,000 should they die by fright from watching Macabre. It worked and the film was a hit.
This success led to others, including two 1959 features, House on Haunted Hill and The Tingler (both starring Vincent Price) - and 13 Ghosts (1960). Castle's pictures made a fortune and the "haunted house" theme seemed to be his forte.
No doubt Alfred Hitchcock's PSYCHO was another turning point for Castle, who made Homicidal (1961) shortly after. It too involved the always reliable "killer transvestite" theme and (in some quarters) was actually better received than Hitchcock's work. In addition, Castle started to copy The Master's habit of slyly appearing in his own films.
Castle worked non-stop throughout the sixties. Among his movies in that period were Mr. Sardonicus (1961), as well as a remake of The Old Dark House.
He contributed several entries to the "Ladies of the Grand Guinol" subgenre. Joan Crawford was excellent as a supposedly reformed ax-murderess in 1964's Strait-Jacket and commanding (if somewhat over-the-top) with a smaller role in I Saw What You Did (1965).
The premise of the latter made it a delightful addition to the "babysitter-in-jeopardy" tradition: two young girls in charge of watching a kid sister for the evening...decide to relieve their boredom by picking phone numbers at random and uttering the title phrase. Unfortunately, one of the recipients of this "joke" has just committed a violent murder - and soon comes after the terrified teens.
That same year, Castle directed the legendary Barbara Stanwyck in The Night Walker, reuniting her with former husband and co-star Robert Taylor in a script by Robert Bloch.
And now consider some of Castle's infamous and harmless gimmicks during his heyday...and try not to smile:
House on Haunted Hill: "Emergo!" - a skeleton shook above the audience, mirroring what happens in the movie.
The Tingler: "Percepto!" - buzzers were placed under the seats to provide shocks during certain moments.
13 Ghosts: "Illusion-O!" - viewers were given the opportunity to see spirits on the screen with special glasses.
Homicidal: "Fright Break" - a brief pause in the film allowed audiences to leave the theatre before the conclusion.
Mr. Sardonicus: "Punishment Poll" - moviegoers could vote on the fate of the villain at the climax.
Castle's one true masterpiece is a film that he did not direct himself. Having bought the rights to Ira Levin's novel Rosemary's Baby, Paramount insisted that it be helmed by someone other than Castle. Roman Polanski was chosen, Castle produced the project...and a true horror classic was born.
After that, he directed very little: Project X in 1969 and Shanks in 1975. In between, he was the executive producer for the short-lived series Ghost Story, which ran during the 1972-73 television season.
In addition, he produced Bug, a crazy little film about incendiary cockroaches. It was not a huge hit at the box office but has its own fun and twisted moments.
William Castle published his autobiography entitled Step Right Up! I'm Gonna Scare the Pants Off America in 1976. It showed that while clearly a professional businessman at heart, he displayed an avid affection and joy for the horror genre.
He died in 1977 of a heart attack.

A conviction for a crime of moral turpitude can result in your deportation from the U.S.
On Behalf of Law Office of Matthew H. Springmeyer | Jun 7, 2021 | Criminal Law, Immigration Law |
You came here to the U.S. in search of a better life than what your home country could offer you. You now find yourself facing criminal charges.
If you haven't yet secured U.S. citizenship, then you might be at risk of not ever being able to do so. You may even be facing deportation, depending on the criminal charges that you're facing.
Are you facing charges for a crime of moral turpitude?
There are certain types of crimes that the prosecutors and other government officials, including immigration ones, classify as crimes of moral turpitude. Almost any crime that they consider to violate public consciousness or immoral falls under this umbrella, including:
Violent crimes: Some examples of this offense include rape, murder, aggravated assault, kidnapping and manslaughter.
White-collar offenses: Some examples of this crime include fraud, bribery and theft.
Drug crimes: Even simple possession charges for something like marijuana can be considered a moral crime.
These same government officials may consider crimes such as smuggling, prostitution, arson and creating mayhem as moral turpitude offenses as well.
Why does a crime of moral turpitude affect immigration status?
The Immigration Act of 1952 made it lawful for the U.S. to exclude individuals convicted of moral turpitude crimes from immigrating to the U.S. Because of this, your immigration status in the U.S. is on the line right up until you secure citizenship. You may have your visa revoked and face deportation back to your home country after serving prison time on any criminal conviction in the U.S.
You shouldn't ever take any criminal charges lightly, but that's especially the case when your immigration status isn't secure. Continue to browse our website to learn more about what the penalties are for the crimes that you're facing before attempting to devise a defense strategy in your case.

I am the Manager of Te Whare Ako and I live with my husband Jeff. Between us we have four grown children, 1 grandchild and 3 fur babies! We enjoy going away in our motor home at weekends and travelling.
I have been an ECE teacher since 2000 and hold a degree in (ECE) Teaching and a Graduate Diploma Specialist Teaching - Early Intervention. I worked for 18 years in Kindergarten before making the great decision to join the Te Whare Ako whānau.
I am a true advocate for children of all cultures and ages and love to "yell from the rooftops" the importance of quality education and creating independent resilient people.
Ciao! My name is Angie and I am the team leader at Te Whare Ako. I am living in Waiwhetu with my partner Solomon, my stepsons Luca and Theo, our flatmate Ben and our cat Molly. And yes, the cat is the boss in our house.
I was born in Italy, did my music degree in Vienna and my graduate diploma in teaching in Wellington. Te Whare Ako is an amazing place for our tamariki. I love the diversity of language and culture we all share on a daily basis.
I am AnjuPreet Manocha married to Umesh Manocha and a mother of two grown ups who are 15 and 19 years old. I came to New Zealand in 2011. I did my Graduate Diploma of Teaching Early Childhood Education from Victoria University in 2013. I enjoy working with children and listening to them. It fascinates me how children learn and explore things and share their learning through different experiences. I want to be part of their learning journey and make it our learning journey.
Kio ora, my name is Karen.
I am married to Kevin and between us we have 5 grown up children and 2 grandchildren. My main interests are ten pin bowling, walking and gardening.
I have been a teacher since 1999 and hold a degree in Bachelor of Teaching and Learning (ECE) through Canterbury University.
I love being an early childhood teacher because I feel I make a lifelong impression on young children's lives. When I see a child's eyes light up when they learn something new or make an exciting discovery about something, it just makes my day! Our tamariki (children) are so precious. I love working with them every day and watching them grow into responsible, independent and confident learners.
I am currently completing my second year of my early childhood teaching degree at Open Polytechnic.
Teaching has always been a passion of mine. I have always wanted to teach and nurture young children but my real encouragement to finally pursue it was my 4 year old daughter Mackenzie who also attends Te Whare Ako.
I am excited to put all my fresh knowledge and ideas into practice and to watch and encourage the tamariki grow and develop into confident, competent learners!

Wokiya is Wokapu's younger sister, and commonly acts as a moral guide for the Toa of Air.
She discusses things as she sees them and doesn't enjoy mincing words. While her role in the Cultured Gentry called for a more classy demeanor, her expulsion from the club has allowed her to be true to herself. She is very young, and her attitude often reflects that. She pursues stories and writes testimonies with less regard of consequences than she should.
While she can be terse at times, Wokiya is actually a genuinely nice Matoran, taking after the calm, comforting traits that are common in Matoran of Water.
She's small and thin, with toned arm muscles that come from her axe-wielding abilities. She's able to move with the grace of a princess, but normally, her movement is very forceful and lunging, common for a warrior.
Wokiya benefited greatly from her membership of the Cultured Gentry, gaining access to priceless jewelry and the softest and dazzling wardrobe in all of Mata Nui. She then became acquainted with a Le-Matoran named Lekori, and she began to reconsider the benefits when pitted against the reality of suffering Matoran at the hands of the Makuta. She finally spoke to Wokapu about her newfound reservations regarding an organization that gains support for the Makuta while pretending to serve the Matoran. However, Wokapu wasn't interested in her worries.
Her relationship with her brother soured over the next several weeks while her relationship with Lekori bloomed into something substantial. One day, Wokapu discovered that he had been framed of supporting the Island Liberation Front, and that the Makuta's Servants were plotting to destroy them. They fled their mansion in Ko-Wahi, but after a vicious fight between the two, Wokiya got separated from her brother and wandered into Po-Wahi, where she would have died had she not been rescued by a Toa of the Green named Darien.
After becoming acquainted with this Toa, the two continued their trek into Ga-Koro, where Wokiya reunited with Lekori. He had found Wokapu and quickly took them to a Kofo-Jaga Nest in Onu-Wahi, where Wokiya was finally reunited with her brother. Incidentally, Wokapu decided that now he did want to expose the truth about the Cultured Gentry. That fell through, and she was forced to let a compromise take place so that she and her friends and family would be safe.
Embittered by the lack of justice, Wokiya took up a job as a reporter for the Mata Nui Daily. She currently travels the island, focusing her energy on the most drawing and (sometimes) scandalous stories she can find in order to attract more readers to the publication.
For a Matoran, Wokiya is a formidable opponent, using her speed and dexterity to surprise opponents. However, she is still not strong enough to defeat a powerful Toa. She doesn't use a particular fighting style, mostly relying on her axes to deal blows to her enemies.
Wokiya was named "Wokyha" in the Old BZPRPG.

G20 will surpass Olympics in global impact
Despite the government's efforts to promote the G20 Seoul Summit, many people have doubts about the impact the international gathering will have on the Korean economy and its reputation as they believe it is not expected to attract as much global attention as — for example — the Seoul Olympics in 1988.
Development agenda: can it make a difference?

G20 urged to speed up IMF reform
For Korea, there are a myriad of daunting tasks to address as host country before the G20 Seoul Summit slated for Nov. 11 to 12.

The audacity of nope
Obama and the China trade deficit
Feb 6, 2009 (WiC 1)
Obama's Shenzhen half-brother
Four is an unlucky number in China, so folklore might suggest that the 44th US president could be a doubly unfortunate one. With the early crackle of tension in the air surrounding Sino-US trade relations, Obama will be hoping not to tempt fate any further.
Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner's remarks on currency manipulation may have created a stir but should we be surprised at what was said? Out on the campaign trail, Obama flagged that he was ready to talk a tougher line than the "patsy" George W Bush in trade negotiations.
Speaking in Pittsburgh in April 2008, Obama posed as the new sheriff riding into town, one who would look the Chinese in the eye and tell them, "You guys keep on manipulating your currency and we are going to start shutting off access to some of our markets." This was not just talk; Obama supported the 2005 Schumer-Graham legislative amendment demanding duties on Chinese imports unless the yuan was allowed to rise in value.
But Geithner's recent comments have upped the rhetorical ante. They have also brought an end to the 'three no's policy' (no finger pointing, no lecturing and no America-bashing) that the Asia Society's Banning Garrett says Beijing followed during the US presidential campaign.
Of course, some change in tone was always likely to occur, with the transition in US personnel. Former Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson went out of his way to avoid public discussion of Chinese monetary policy and created the Strategic Economic Dialogue process to reduce the potential for flare-ups. The Chinese press expected communication to carry on improving. Nice things were said about Geithner's Mandarin language skills on news of his appointment.
At heart this is a debate about the trade deficit, which hit record levels again in 2008. The "artificial" exchange rate is said to be laying waste to the American manufacturing heartland. But millions of American consumers continue to benefit from China's flood of imports. Walmart – the biggest employer in the US after the federal government – stocked more than $9 billion of Chinese-made products on its American shelves in 2008. If import tariffs are raised in anger, price-sensitive customers will start to feel the pinch. Perhaps some of its 1.4 million employees will start to fear for their jobs too.
Then, there are the bailouts. Beijing, which already holds $650 billion of US Treasury debt, will be asked to shoulder some of the additional $1 trillion in US deficit spending. Akin to provoking a row with your bank manager immediately before asking him for a second mortgage, Obama's room for manoeuvre seems limited.
So will he be the man that says no to China? Expect bluster perhaps but not much more. In his current predicament, for the president to restrict access to Chinese goods would be an audacious act indeed.

South Carolina Gamecocks to retire Jadeveon Clowney's No. 7 jersey
The South Carolina Gamecocks, the football team of the University of South Carolina, will retire their former defensive end, Jadeveon Clowney, in their first game against Georgia State.
The school athletic director Ray Tanner announced that Clowney will have his No. 7 college jersey retired on September 3.
"We are excited to honor one of our greatest Gamecock football players ever," Tanner said.
Originally from Rock Hill in South Carolina, Clowney, was one of the country's top recruits when he signed with the Gamecocks. He started his collegiate career under coach Steve Spurrier in 2011.
Clowney's career
Clowney played a total of 12 Gamecocks' games in his rookie season. He was named as a starter in the season opener against East Carolina Pirates, and became the first rookie to start on the defensive lineup, since Travian Robertson in 2007, at that time.
Moreover, Clowney recorded seven tackles and one pass interception. In his SEC debut, Clowney bagged his first quarterback sack, when facing Georgia Bulldogs. He tackled downs Bulldogs' QB Aaron Murray, for a 7-yard loss.
For the 2011 season, Clowney was credited with 36 tackles, and averaged 8.0 sacks, as he earned SEC Freshman of the Year and All-SEC 2nd Team honors. In addition, he was listed on Sporting News, FWAA, Rivals.com, and CBS Sports Freshman All-American 1st Team lists.
During his sophomore season, Clowney contributed to Gamecocks' defense, as the team recorded an 11-2 season, 6-2 in SEC, and he was considered the best defensive player in college football, according to several sources.
Clowney set the single-season record for sacks with 13.0 sacks averaged, and tackles for loss by averaging 23.5, for the Gamecocks. He also recorded 40 solo tackles from 54 tackles, and three forced fumbles.
Furthermore, he managed to help the Gamecocks win the Outback Bowl when they secured a 33–28 victory over the Michigan Wolverines. In that game, Clowney experienced his most memorable college moment, when he tackled Michigan running back Vincent Hill in the backfield, popped off Hill's helmet, and recovered the forced fumble.
Not only that, in his final year of college football, Clowney finished the season with 35 tackles, averaged 10.5 for a yard loss, and tallied three quarterback sacks. He was named as an SEC first-team selection and 2013 All-America team organized by American Football Coaches Association. Moreover, he helped Gamecocks to secure a 34–24 win over Wisconsin in the 2014 Capital One Bowl.
Entered the 2014 NFL draft, Clowney was selected No. 1 overall by the Houston Texans, where he spent his career from 2015 to 2018. He was selected by the Texans alongside his fellow Gamecocks' receiver Bruce Ellington, who was drafted in fourth round No. 106 by the San Francisco 49ers.
Currently, Clowney is entering his ninth season as a pro with the Cleveland Browns. Besides playing for the Browns and previously with the Texans, Clowney played for two other NFL teams, Seattle Seahawks (2019), and Tennessee Titans (2020).
Clowney is the first football player to have his jersey retired by the Gamecocks since South Carolina receiver Sterling Sharpe was honored in 1987.

Q: Rails accepts_nested_attributes_for validation on transactional object I'm struggling since some hours in order to make validations of nested attributes work in my rails app. A small caveat is that I have to validate nested attributes dynamically based off of their parent's attributes, as the amount of info required changes over time according to where in the process the parent is.
So here's my setup: I have a parent with many different associated models and I want to validate subsequently nested attributes of those every time I save the parent. Given the fact that validations change dynamically, I had to write a custom validation method in the model:
class Parent < ActiveRecord::Base
  attr_accessible :children_attributes, :status
  has_many :children
  accepts_nested_attributes_for :children
  validate :validate_nested_attributes
  def validate_nested_attributes
    children.each do |child|
      child.descriptions.each do |description|
        errors.add(:base, "Child description value cant be blank") if description.value.blank? && parent.status == 'validate_children'
      end
    end
  end
end

class Child < ActiveRecord::Base
  attr_accessible :descriptions_attributes, :status
  has_many :descriptions
  belongs_to :parent
  accepts_nested_attributes_for :descriptions
end

In my controller I call update_attributes on the parent when I want to save. Now the problem is that, apparently, rails runs the validations against the database and not against the object that was modified by the user or the controller. So what might happen is that a child's value is erased by a user and the validations will pass, while later validations will not pass because the item in the database is not valid.
Here's a quick example of this scenario:
parent = Parent.create({:status => 'validate_children', :children_attributes => {0 => {:descriptions_attributes => { 0 => {:value => 'Not blank!'}}}})
  #true
parent.update_attributes({:children_attributes => {0 => {:descriptions_attributes => { 0 => {:value => nil}}}})
  #true!! / since child.value.blank? reads the database and returns false
parent.update_attributes({:children_attributes => {0 => {:descriptions_attributes => { 0 => {:value => 'Not blank!'}}}})
  #false, same reason as above

The validation works for first-level associations, e.g. if a Child has a 'value' attribute, I could run a validation the way I do. The problem is with deep associations that apparently cannot be validated before saving.
Could anyone point me in the right direction of how to solve this? The only way I currently see is by saving records, validating them afterwards and deleting / reverting them if the validation fails, but I am honestly hoping for something more clean.
Thank you all in advance!
SOLUTION
So it turns out I was running validations on deep nested models by referencing those directly in the custom validation, this way:

validates :value, :presence => true, :if => "self.parent.status == 'validate_children'"

Patience for Christmas
By: Grace Burrowes
Advice columnist Patience Friendly's relationship with her publisher, Dougal MacHugh, is decidedly not friendly. The two almost always seem to be at odds over one thing or another, but that pales in comparison to her rivalry with a fellow columnist who she only knows as Professor Pennypacker. The two nearly always dole out opposite advice on virtually every topic. Now Dougal has challenged Patience to a holiday advice contest with Pennypacker that would require her to write daily instead of weekly columns. Although reluctant at first, Patience is a smart woman who sees the value in the extra money and exposure, so she agrees. Working almost day and night beside her handsome employer, polishing her responses to the letters they've received also has the effect of making her see new depths in Dougal that she'd missed before. Now the fiercely independent spinster just might find herself falling for him unless a big secret he's been harboring ruins their burgeoning relationship.
Patience for Christmas is a holiday-themed novella about a bluestocking advice columnist and her publisher. The two have historically been at odds with one another, but not nearly as much as she's been at odds with a competing advice columnist. Her publisher believes that he can exploit their rivalry to sell more newspapers if they publish daily columns, doling out wise counsel on all things Christmas for the two weeks leading up to the holiday. Together they work hard to complete the endeavor, while falling in love. But what will happen when she discovers his big secret?
Patience was born a well-bred lady, but her father was a profligate spender. Just as she was about to make a good match with a viscount with whom she thought she was in love, her suitor discovered that she had no inheritance and dropped her cold, leaving her reputation ruined. If not for the kindness of her grandmother, she would have had nothing, but luckily the old woman left Patience everything she owned, including a small townhouse. Patience didn't start out as a bluestocking, but the hardships she endured taught her that she couldn't rely on the men in her life for anything. So she vowed to do whatever it took to remain independent. The fiery spinster earns her living by writing an advice column as a character named Mrs. Horner, and Mrs. Horner's Corner has thus far been extremely well-received by the citizens of London. But three months earlier, a competing columnist named Professor Pennypacker emerged and has been her nemesis ever since. Now her publisher, Dougal MacHugh, with whom she's also usually at odds, wants her to answer letters daily throughout the holiday season in something of a back-and-forth exchange with Pennypacker. Knowing the extra funds will help greatly, she agrees, and as she works with Dougal almost day and night for two weeks, she finds that the man is a lot more likable than she originally thought and soon falls for him. I admired Patience's spunkiness and her willingness to stand up for herself. She isn't afraid to speak her mind and gives Dougal a run for his money, but at the same time she's kind and compassionate toward others and has the heart of an activist.
Scotsman Dougal is a former school teacher who used his inheritance to start a publishing house with dreams of someday printing educational books and materials at a low cost so that they can be accessible to everyone. Things didn't exactly go as planned, though. As it turns out, Mrs. Horner's Corner took off and is now the thing that makes him the most money, so he comes up with his scheme to sell even more papers over the holiday season. He genuinely admires Patience and seems to enjoy locking horns with her. I think he was starting to have deeper feelings for her before the story begins, but it's working closely with her on a daily basis that really solidifies those emotions. By the time Christmas comes, he's more than ready to propose, but there's a little matter of a big secret he's been keeping from her. Dougal is a man I admired for his ability to see and appreciate the value in a woman's mind. He views Patience as his equal, and when she finally confides her past to him, he's incensed on her behalf that the viscount would leave her like he did. I also thought that his dream was an admirable one, and I felt that with Patience by his side, he just might achieve it in the future.
Overall, Patience for Christmas was a fun, enjoyable novella. The supporting cast was very likable and Dougal's cat, George, was cute. I was amused by the advice columnist rivalry that had people buying broadsheets like gangbusters. I also enjoyed the meeting of the minds that occurs between Dougal and Patience, and how they gain a new respect for one another. Where I thought the story faltered a bit was in the romance itself. These two characters have an intellectual connection in spades, and I do love seeing that in a hero and heroine's relationship. However, it didn't fully translate into an emotional one. They're very matter-of-fact with each other about nearly everything to do with their romantic connection, including the decision to share a bed. Even the one love scene is IMHO rather bland and lacking genuine passion. Otherwise, though, I felt that the story was well-written. It was my first read by Grace Burrowes, and it was good enough to leave me open to trying more of her work in the future, but I do hope that she steps up the romance a bit more in her other stories. I read Patience for Christmas as a bonus novella in the back of Elizabeth Hoyt's latest release, Not the Duke's Darling, but it appears to have been originally published in the anthology, The Virtues of Christmas, and has also been released as a stand-alone ebook.

Toyota GR 86 comes as a four-seater sports car
Toyota does not give up the classic models despite the accentuated electrification of the entire range. From this fall, the GT86 coupe model receives a successor called Toyota GR 86.
As before, the model was developed in collaboration with Subaru. However, the new Subaru BRZ will not be marketed in Europe, thus, Toyota remains the only chance for European clients to have access to this sports car.
The new Toyota GR 86 adopts a 2.4-litre engine with horizontally opposed cylinders which develops 235 hp at 7,000 rpm. The maximum torque of the engine is 250 Nm. The Toyota GR86 is expected to accelerate from 0 to 100 km / h in 6.3 seconds, compared to 7.4 seconds previously. It goes without saying that the rear-wheel-drive remains active.
The sports car coupé grew slightly in length to 4.27 meters.
Inside, Toyota has relied on the classic sports style, but the dashboard is now digital, and the centre console is dominated by an 8-inch touch display. The basic architecture of the cockpit behind the steep three-spoke steering wheel remains unchanged.
The new Toyota GR 86 sports car will initially be launched on the Japanese market this fall, and will later be offered in other markets.

This article was originally published in October 2010 in the Arizona Networking News. I wrote this article during my senior year in naturopathic medical school. I am sharing this content with you on my website because it is still a relevant question today.
Would you like to learn how to attain good health rather than how to fight disease? Or, how about having a supportive and empowering relationship with a doctor who is willing to spend more than 5 minutes with you? If your answers are "yes," you may be interested to know that this is not a dream, but in fact a reality.
Imagine being part of a health care system where you work with your doctor to find solutions tailored to your individual needs and a medical system that empowers you through education and treatment options – where the focus is on health rather than disease. This is no longer a dream for the future of medicine; it is a reality of the 21st century and can be found in naturopathic medicine.
The theories and practices of naturopathic medicine are borne out of the beliefs that within our bodies lay innately powerful healing processes. Furthermore, the role of the physician is to help bring the body back into balance, which then allows you, the patient, to begin to heal.
This brilliant approach to medicine combines the wisdom of nature with the rigors of modern science to create individualized treatment plans that enable people to move from disease to wellness and stay there.
Naturopathic medicine is distinguished by the six principles that underlie and guide its practice. First is "do no harm," which serves as a powerful reminder that therapies should be as minimally invasive and as maximally effective as possible. Second, "the healing power of Nature" reminds us that the role of the physician is not to invade but rather to assist the body in the process of healing through the use of natural, non-toxic therapies.
The third principle, "treat the cause," recognizes the fact that recovery and healing can only be achieved by identifying and eliminating the underlying cause of disease. Fourth, "treat the whole person" acknowledges that humans are complex beings, and healing requires agreement from mind, body and spirit.
"Physician as teacher," the fifth principle, reminds us that the physician's major role is to educate, empower and motivate the patient to take responsibility for his/her own health, which achieves sustainable well-being. Finally, "prevention is the best cure" tells us that it's far better to be proactive than to watch-and-wait.
You may not know this, but naturopathic physicians have a lot in common with conventional physicians, including their basic medical education. Naturopathic physicians are trained at four-year postgraduate naturopathic medical schools, which are accredited by the Council on Naturopathic Education and the Higher Learning Commission. These are regional accrediting bodies of the U.S. Department of Education, just like conventional medical schools.
Another commonality is the curricula. Conventional and naturopathic medical students learn all the same basic and clinical sciences. Outside of the classroom, both receive training under the supervision of physicians in a clinical setting for two years. At the end of training, both take national board exams.
Finally, both naturopathic and conventional physicians are licensed to practice medicine in Arizona. This means that, as licensed primary care physicians, naturopathic physicians can order labs, prescribe medications, perform physical exams and minor surgery, refer to specialists and diagnose and treat disease. In fact, naturopathic physicians have been licensed in Arizona since 1934 and have much in common with their conventional counterparts. So, what sets naturopathic physicians apart?
First, they receive additional training in clinical nutrition, botanical medicine, physical medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine,environmental medicine, hydrotherapy, homeopathy, IV therapy and counseling. Second, their approach to treating disease is to restore health.
Naturopathic physicians blend the ancient wisdom of natural medicine with modern science to create a form of medicine that is effective and sustainable.
If you would like to receive individualized care for the recovery, promotion and optimization of function on all levels of health through the use of safe and natural methods, then naturopathic medicine is for you. If you value diet and nutrition, and would like a professional to guide you in choosing what is right for your body, then naturopathic medicine is for you. If you are searching for alternatives to prescription drugs or surgery, or are in need of supportive care, then naturopathic medicine is for you.
There is hope, there are options and wellness can be achieved.

QUIZ: Can you match colours with shapes like a Bauhaus master?
Test your design intuition with this short exercise.
(Image credit: yU+co)
Do colours match shapes? According to Wassily Kandinsky, the two go hand in hand. The Russian painter, art theorist, and Bauhaus teacher put his theory to the test with an exercise for his students, which you can now complete online. Do your answers align with the ideas of the Bauhaus master?
If you're not familiar with Kandinsky, he was an authority on colour theory even before joining Bauhaus thanks to his book, On the Spiritual in Art. In it, he establishes distinct emotional and spiritual associations between specific colours and forms. To communicate the relationship between colour and shapes, he created an assignment for his students.
Now, thanks to an online exhibit created in created in partnership with digital innovation studio yU+co and the Getty Research Institute, you can take Kandinsky's test.
Named the Kandinsky Form and Color Exercise, this simple drag and drop quiz challenges you to match a primary colour with its corresponding shape, including a triangle, circle and square. Take the quiz right now by clicking here.
Artist Erich Mrozek made these colour studies based on Kandinsky's ideas
Once you finish the quiz you'll be shown if you match Kandinsky's theory. You'll also find an explanation of why a certain colour can be matched to a particular shape.
"The results of Kandinsky's survey seemed to prove his argument," the results page explains, "as the majority of respondents answered according to his model".
The exercise is part of the interactive online exhibition Bauhaus: Building The New Artist, which celebrates 100 years of the famous school through various interactive activities.
"The desire of museums and cultural institutions to engage the public in new ways is the perfect opportunity to combine new technologies with our experience in storytelling in order to create something groundbreaking and enriching," says Garson Yu, founder and creative director of yU+co.

Strange Dimensions By Jack Hunter
It is from the paranormal's multifaceted nature that the title of this book takes its meaning. Throughout its pages we encounter, time and again, talk of a wide variety of dimensions, levels... More > and layers, from social, cultural, psychological and physiological dimensions, to spiritual, mythic, narrative, symbolic and experiential dimensions, and onwards to other worlds, planes of existence and realms of consciousness. The paranormal is, by its very nature, multidimensional. "Once again, Jack Hunter takes us down the proverbial rabbit hole, here with the grace, nuance and sheer intelligence of a gifted team of essayists, each working in her or his own way toward new theories of history, consciousness, spirit, the imagination, the parapsychological, and the psychedelic. Another clear sign that there is high hope in high strangeness, and that we are entering a new era of thinking about religion, about mind, about us." -- Jeffrey J.
