For better or for worse, the Book of Mormon Musical catapulted the Book of Mormon into the limelight of discussion in 2011. Despite the Broadway musical generating a lot of attention, its storyline has little to do with the Book of Mormon's contents, plots, origins, or the principles it teaches. One thing the play happens to get right, however, is that the Book of Mormon has something important to say about music and performance. The Book of Mormon is a very musical book in its own right and refers to music dozens of times, in contexts of worshipping, fighting, celebrating, and praising.
The Book of Mormon refers frequently to singing. The people in the Book of Mormon sang praises to God after victorious battles, they sang during celebrations, and they sang during worship services. During the years of righteousness during the Nephite golden age, "their meetings were conducted by the church after the manner of the workings of the Spirit, and by the power of the Holy Ghost; for as the power of the Holy Ghost led them whether to preach, or to exhort, or to pray, or to supplicate, or to sing, even so it was done" (Moroni 6:9, emphasis added).
Twenty of the Book of Mormon's twenty-four references to singing deal specifically with singing praises unto the Lord. Its peoples sang to praise the Lord's victory after battle (3 Nephi 4:31–33); they sang to praise His power and atoning grace (Alma 5:9, 26); and they sang to emulate the angels in heaven. Lehi (1 Nephi 1:8) and Alma the younger (Alma 36:22) both saw visions of the heavenly choirs singing praises to God. King Benjamin (Mosiah 2:28) and Mormon (Mormon 7:7) both expressed a longing to one day join these angelic choirs above.
In addition, five times the Book of Mormon mentions either a "trump" or a "trumpet,"—three times referring to trumpets of God or of angels, once calling people to attention for worship, and once summoning soldiers to battle. In ancient Israel, trumpets called shofars were made from the horns of animals, such as rams, and were used to signal battle, national celebrations, and ritual holidays like the Day of Atonement. Other trumpets, such as those played by the Levitical priests during sacrifices and ritual holidays, were made of metal. And in Mesoamerica, trumpets made of conch shells were often used for ritual purposes.
In a military context, Coriantumr sounded a trump to commence the battle against the armies of Shiz. In worship, Alma's desire to "speak with the trump of God" may be a reference to ancient Israelite holiday cycles. We know that royal coronations in the Bible were accompanied by the blaring of trumpets (2 Samuel 15:10; 1 Kings 1:39), so it may even be possible that the coronation of King Mosiah and other Nephite kings were accompanied by musical celebrations as well.
The texts of the Book of Mormon are filled with snippets of ancient psalms or songs, but it can sometimes be difficult for modern readers to recognize and hear the music because ancient poetry looked and sounded very different than our poetry or musical lyrics today. Ancient poetic lines didn't necessarily rhyme or follow a strict meter like the poetry that most modern readers are familiar with. Instead, the poetry we find in the Bible and Book of Mormon used what is called parallelism to create beautiful literary pairings.
Likewise, many instances of poetry in the Bible are known to have been used as songs in ancient rituals and celebrations. Many of the 150 biblical psalms were often used as hymns for temple ceremonies and covenants. In fact, the word "psalm" itself is even associated with "song" or "hymn" in Greek. One famous example of a Biblical song can be found in the book of Exodus, where the authors included an ancient song after the Israelites crossed the Red Sea.

The Book of Mormon embraces righteous music as a form of expressing thanks to God. It also recognizes that, like any other powerful mode of communication, music can be enlisted for unrighteous purposes. On one occasion, the Book of Mormon condemned the rude music-making of Laman, Lemuel, the sons of Ishmael, and their wives, during their sea voyage to the promised land (1 Nephi 18:9). The Bible likewise condemns music used for wicked purposes (Psalm 69:13; Job 21:11–12). Recognizing the scriptural attitude toward music can help readers today to make wise media choices. Realizing that music has sacred soul-stirring powers helps to explain why music that detracts from the Spirit or which leads one to forget God and His commandments is displeasing to the Lord.
2 1 Nephi 1:8 ; 3 Nephi 4:31–33 ; Mosiah 20:1–2; Moroni 6:9, respectively. For more on singing in the Book of Mormon, see Book of Mormon Central, " Why Was Singing Hymns a Part of Nephite Worship Services? (Moroni 6:9)," KnoWhy 251 (December 13, 2016).
4 See Mosiah 26:25–27 ; Alma 29:1–2 ; 3 Nephi 13:1–2; Mormon 9:13–14; Ether 14:28–29. The only other verse to mention instruments is Isaiah 5:12, quoted in 2 Nephi 15:12; it is unknown whether the harp or other instruments were used.
5 Victor H. Matthews, "Music and Musical Instruments," Anchor Bible Dictionary (New York, NY: Doubleday, 1992), 4:936; Mark Allen Powell, ed., "Music," The Harper Collins Bible Dictionary (New York, NY: HarperOne, 2011), 667– 668.
6 Matthews, "Music and Musical Instruments," 4:936–937; Powell, "Music," 668.
7 See footnote 11 in Book of Mormon Central, " Why Did Alma Wish to Speak 'with the Trump of God'? " (Alma 29:1) KnoWhy 136 (July 5, 2016). Based on this evidence, it is possible that the trumpets mentioned in the Book of Mormon could have been made of horns, shells, metal, or some other material.
8 Ether 14:28–29 . For biblical uses of the shofar or trump in military contexts, see Joshua 6:4–20; Judges 3:27; 6:34 ; 1 Samuel 13:3; Isaiah 18:3; 27:13; 58:1; Jeremiah 51:27; 4:5, 19, 21 .
9 Book of Mormon Central, " Why Did Alma Wish to Speak 'with the Trump of God'? (Alma 29:1) ," KnoWhy 136 (July 5, 2016). For biblical uses of the shofar or trump in worship, see Leviticus 25:9 ; 2 Chronicles 5:12–13;2 Kings 12:13.
10 Parallelisms may be thought of as "thought rhyming." While the words in Hebrew poetry do not follow strict meter or rhyme, they follow symmetrical and balanced repetitions of thought, often in couplets. For example, Neil Armstrong in his famous moon landing speech exhibits a form of parallelism: "That's one small step for man ; one giant leap for mankind ." Neil Armstrong, " One Small Step ," Apollo 11 Space Report (Houston, TX: National Aeronautics and Space Administration, 1969). For more information on parallelisms in the Book of Mormon, see Book of Mormon Central, " Why Is the Presence of Chiasmus in the Book of Mormon Significant? (Mosiah 5:10– 12)," KnoWhy 166 (August 16, 2016); Carl J. Cranney, " The Deliberate Use of Hebrew Parallelisms in the Book of Mormon," Journal of Book of Mormon Studies 23 (2014): 140–165.

Thank you for this article. I found it very thought provoking, and it certainly taught me a lot about music. I think I now have a better perspective on music than I did before.


I picked up Flower Bomb by Victor & Rolf at duty free in July, I had no idea what I wanted but I knew I needed something new to add to my collection so after sampling so many fragrances and getting a headache from it I decided on Flower Bomb. I have only now just gotten round to wearing it and I LOVE it!! The scent is so gorgeous and I keep sniffing myself every minute when I have it on which I probably shouldn't do in public often.
The Flower Bomb scent is described as a floral explosion as it compromises of many floral ingredients which helps to make it a great fragrance without it being too over powering. It has a slight sweet smell to its but not sickly at all instead its very addictive. The Flower Bomb bottle shape is very simple but chic and it slightly reminds me of my Diamonds perfume by Armani. If you haven't got this fragrance yet I suggest you go out and sample it as this has just become a favourite of mine now.
Just thought you'd like to know about a trusted seller for Flowerbomb: http://stores.ebay.com/Timeless-Fashion-and-Art/_i.html?_nkw=flowerbomb&submit=Search&_sid=8227853 Low low prices!

SEC charges two crypto firms for failing to disclose risks to investors
For nearly two years now, Americans have been putting their money on a crypto platform called Gemini every day, earning high interest rates for their money at a time when it is very difficult to get hold of it.
But in November, all 340,000 users of the software — led by Silicon Valley twins Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss — find themselves unable to withdraw their funds as the cryptocurrency market begins to crash and the company goes through a liquidity crisis.
The Securities and Exchange Commission is now seeking to do something about it. On Thursday, the regulator instructed Gemini and another company it does business with, Genesis, not to register the software they're running. as a guarantee. It is an attempt to hold companies accountable and could result in damages to repaying investors.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is targeting the Gemini Earn, a program that promised consumers high-interest returns in exchange for holding their money in these crypto accounts. The same charge was made against Genesis.
"We allege that Genesis and Gemini offered unregistered securities to the public, bypassing disclosure requirements designed to protect investors," SEC Chairman Gary Gensler said in a statement announcing the charges. He said registration "is not optional. It's the law." The agency did not specify the amount of damages it is seeking.
The SEC move is part of a government effort to hold crypto companies accountable for massive customer losses, which have been piling up since cryptocurrency exchange FTX imploded in November, sending ripples through the industry. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission recently brought both of them out complaints Against Sam Bankman-Fried, co-founder of FTX with the same goal in mind.
Under Earn, Gemini gives high rates to customers for borrowing their money. They did this in partnership with Genesis, which itself borrows money from Gemini at high rates. In recent weeks, Gemini and Genesis executives have sparred over who failed to live up to their responsibility in returning money to consumers.
As a result, about $900 million on Gemini Earn has been frozen with no indication of when customers will be able to access it.
Not every expert is convinced the SEC has a strong case.
It wasn't clear that Gemini's model would stand out as one of the many legal tests the government uses for securities, said Carol Goforth, a professor at the University of Arkansas School of Law and an expert on securities regulation.
"Just to say that every cryptocurrency is a security is deeply troubling," she said. "It really depends on how you market the product, whether it's a Gemini Earn or something else. They don't all match."
Gemini's founders, the Winklevosses, are known as instigators in Silicon Valley. The twin brothers were Olympic rowers from Harvard University who sued Mark Zuckerberg, alleging that he and his partners stole the idea for Facebook from a company they founded. Having styled themselves as early adopters of cryptocurrency, they have reshaped themselves into some of the most successful entrepreneurs in the industry as Gemini has become one of the most popular cryptocurrency lending platforms.
The main reason behind this popularity was Earn, which since its launch nearly two years ago has been promising returns of up to 8%.
Genesis is part of the Digital Currency Group, or DCG, a conglomerate run by finance tycoon Barry Silbert whose holdings include asset manager Grayscale Investments and news platform CoinDesk.
Neither Gemini's Cameron Winklevoss nor a Genesis representative responded to a request for comment.
The SEC has sought to use this power before. In early 2022, for example, the government securities agency and agencies Charged and reached a $100 million settlement With BlockFi crypto lender.
SEC officials told reporters Thursday that the move against Gemini and Genesis was part of a larger plan to go after crypto companies that did not register as securities. They said they did not distinguish between Gemini and Genesis in pursuing work.

Im sure you are well aware that the Holy Spirit and the Truth agree with eachother. And I must say that with some of what you was saying had the Holy Ghost sending chills all over. And I thank you very much for exspressing you thoughts and opinions so openly. That being said, Im not sure we need a new party (third party) as much as we need a way to shed light on those who make themselfs appear as Republicans when they are not (as you said as much as your a muslem). We as Christians, Republicans, and/or Americans have so much resorces at our hands to do so. (Holy Bible, Constitution, etc.) Love to hear some feed back on my thoughts/opinions. GOD Bless.

Hear Wrong Channel Classic Helmet Sound on New Banger "Culminate"
The Helmet that many of us identify with really only stuck to that singular sound for one LP, their classic 1992 outing Meantime. After that, the simple, militaristic stop-go that made them so compelling was replaced with more melody and more clean vocals, effectively transforming the band from the noise-core juggernaut they once were to a harder-edged alternative-rock act.
But what if they didn't stop after Meantime? What if Helmet still abided by the Unsane/NYC underground blueprint they charted on Meantime (and to a lesser degree Strap It On), following that muse further and further into the darkness? It's a question that Miami's Wrong attempt to answer on their second LP, Feel Great, and with their latest single/video "Culminate." The new cut, which makes it's debut here today, is clearly a nod to classic Helmet, specifically the swing from the classic "Give It." Guitarist/vocalist Erik Hernandez (also of Torche) anchors the song with clenched teeth, projecting a fury that many aspire to but few achieve. Rough stuff, and in the coldest, most unrelenting way.
Check out the video above; you can order your copy via Relapse Records ahead of the album's April 20th release date.

Q: How t optimize read time in a postgresql database I have a slight problem with a postgresql database with exploding read times.
Background info:
two tables, both with only 4 columns: uuid (uuid), timestamp (bigint), type (text) and value (double) in one, values (double[]) in the other. (yes, I thought about combining it in one table... decision on that isn't in my hands).
Given that only a fairly small amount of the held data is needed for each "projectrun", I'm already copying the needed data to tables dedicated to each projectrun. Now the interesting part starts, when I try to read the data:
CREATE TABLE fake_timeseries1
(
    "timestamp" bigint,
    uuid uuid,
    value double precision,
    type text COLLATE "default".pg_catalog
)
WITH (
    OIDS = FALSE
)
TABLESPACE pg_default;

ALTER TABLE fake_timeseries1
    OWNER to user;

CREATE INDEX fake_timeseries1_timestamp_idx
    ON fake_timeseries1 USING btree
    (timestamp)
    TABLESPACE pg_default;

ALTER TABLE fake_timeseries1
    CLUSTER ON fake_timeseries1_timestamp_idx;

From that temporary table I do:
"SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE timestamp BETWEEN ? AND ? ;"

Simple enough, should work rather fast, right? Wrong.
At the moment I'm testing with small batches (only x*40k rows, returning 25% of them).
For 10k rows, it takes "only" 6 sec, 20k already 34 sec, and for 40k rows (out of a mere 160k) it already takes 3 minutes per table ... 6 minutes for a mere 6 Mb of data. (yes, we are at a gb line, so it's probably no bottleneck there)
I already tried using an index and cluster on timestamp, but that does slow it down even more. Interestingly not on the creation of the temporary tables, but rather when reading the data.
What could I do to speed up the read process? It needs to be able to read those 10-50k rows in less than 5 minutes (preferably less than 1 minute) from a table that holds not 160k rows, but rather tens of millions.
What could be responsible for a simple Select being as slow as creating the whole table in the first place? (3 mins read vs. 3.5 mins create).
Thank you in advance.
As wished an analyze (for 20k out of 80k):
"Execution Time": 27.501,
"Planning Time": 0.514,
"Plan": {
  "Filter": "((\"timestamp\" >= '1483224970970'::bigint) AND (\"timestamp\" <= '1483232170970'::bigint))",
  "Node Type": "Seq Scan",
  "Relation Name": "fake_timeseries1",
  "Alias": "fake_timeseries1",
  "Actual Rows": 79552,
  "Rows Removed by Filter": 0,
  "Actual Loops": 1
},
"Triggers": []

The real execution time was 34.047 seconds.
UPDATE:
continued testing with different test data sets. The following is an analyze from a significantly larger testset, where I read only 0.25% of the data... still using seq scan. Anyone an idea?
[
  {
    "Execution Time": 7121.59,
    "Planning Time": 0.124,
    "Plan": {
      "Filter": "((\"timestamp\" >= '1483224200000'::bigint) AND (\"timestamp\" <= '1483233200000'::bigint))",
      "Node Type": "Seq Scan",
      "Relation Name": "fake_forecast",
      "Alias": "fake_forecast",
      "Actual Rows": 171859,
      "Rows Removed by Filter": 67490381,
      "Actual Loops": 1
    },
    "Triggers": []
  }
]

UPDATE: After even more testing, on a second PostgresQL Database, it seems that I somehow have hit a hard cap.
Whatever I do, the max I can get is 3.3k rows from those two tables per second. And that's only if I use the sweet spot of calling for 20-80k rows in a large batch. Which take 6 resp. 24 seconds even on a DB on my own machine.
Is there nothing that can be done (except better hardware) to speed this up?

Tips for attending Monster Jam With Kids | Baby and Life!
Remember how I told you that I didn't know if Little Monkey would want to see Monster Jam? Well… this weekend I made the mistake of taking Baby Boy, Little Monkey, the hubs and my brother all the way to the Rogers Centre in the freezing cold to check out Monster Jam, only to find out that my tickets were actually for the following day. DOH!! Little Monkey was NOT pleased. We had a full on meltdown followed by yells of, "I want to see Monster Trucks!". We managed to subside the meltdown by promising to take her to a friend's place instead, but the next day, Little Monkey and I went with a friend of mine to watch Monster Jam to see what the fuss was all about. It turns out that Monster Jam with kids is quite an experience, and I was surprised by how many kids of all ages were in attendance!
If you're driving to the show, give yourself plenty of time. Since we rarely drive downtown, it took us a while to figure our where to park but we finally found a spot at the nearby Intercontinental Hotel, where Valet parking is only $15 an hour – much cheaper than the $40 we saw at most parking lots! This show, called the Toronto Maple Leaf Monster Jam took place at the Rogers Centre and was approximately 2.5 hours long. We missed the first hour unfortunately, but the kids in front of us made sure to tell us how awesome it was. We watched in amazement as the ginormous trucks did high jumps and wheelies … oh yes, and quite a few flipped too, leaving me holding my breath until the drivers got out. The Scooby Doo flip was the one that freaked me out the most, but I was so glad when the driver, clad in pink, got out of her vehicle unharmed.
Little Monkey looked on with glee. I was very surprised by the fact that she wants to go back next year with Baby Boy. You can expect very loud noises, reverberations and a fair bit of fumes so be ready for that. I know that noise levels affect each kid differently and so it's hard to predict a child's comfort level with big bangs and revving engines, but here are a few tips I picked up along the way.
Noise Cancelling Headsets are a must! Bring a good pair, not just the toy stuff. I have misplaced our Baby Banz but luckily the hubs lent us his Bose ones and they worked fabulously!
Bring snacks and milk for the little ones. Line-ups can be long at the concession stand and so we brought raisins to pull out when Little Monkey did her usual, "I'm bored!" routine (she's rarely bored but actually hungry).
As with all events, leave 10 minutes before the end if you want to avoid the mad dash as everyone leaves the stadium.
Go for a walk in the fresh air after the event. There are a lot of fumes and it's to be expected. Just air those lungs out after the event before getting back in your car and you'll feel a lot better.
Honestly, I didn't think I'd like Monster Jam – just was not my thing. However, I will be going back because it was actually quite entertaining and Little Monkey, dressed in her princess shirt, liked it quite a bit. If you're anxious about the noise or the fumes, check out Sportsnet Grill Restaurant at the Marriott Downtown Hotel because you can watch the whole thing from the restaurant. If you can get seats at Sportsnet Grill, it's a great way to spend the afternoon watching the Monster Jam sessions while enjoying some cocktails and good eats. If you have kids with sensitive years or infants, I think the restaurant is definitely the way to go. Can't comment on how the experience would differ but I guess there's one way to find out!
Have you been to Monster Jam?
If you are looking for other great family activities in Toronto, check out the Around Toronto section of our site. Our many activities in the city have included hitting up a Toronto Raptors Game with Baby, Taking Young Kids to a Blue Jays Game, and most recently, visiting Wizard World.
Here's how we'd spend a weekend in Toronto with kids.
Our series on Kid Friendly Toronto restaurants is a also great way to find some great eats for the whole family.
Thanks for the tips! My niece wants to go so badly and keeps asking if I'll take her. I might just agree now.
You're most welcome! Mine have been asking to go (again) too! Let us know how you enjoy your experience!
Should I take my 9 month old?
If he loves trucks I'm sure he'd love it. You could also watch it from the restaurant if you think that might be a better experience.

Remember how you used the `ProvidePlugin` to replace `Promise` globally in your app?

We can use that same approach for stuff we're using everywhere else too.

```javascript
// webpack.config.js

new webpack.ProvidePlugin({

The Legacy of Women – Florence
22-24 October 2021. Festival dedicated to the contribution of women to the human progress. Also online
22 Oct 2021 - 24 Oct 2021 Tuscany -Florence Culture-History | Festival
From October 22 to 24, 2021, Florence hosts the 4th edition of The Legacy of Women (L'Eredità delle Donne) at Manifattura Tabacchi. The festival is directed by Serena Dandini in order to give light to the role played, over the centuries, by women scientists, artists, writers, and pioneers of all areas of knowledge, but not always recognized on a par with male colleagues.
The festival's goal is clear: to give voice to women and express their point of view, not only looking at the past but also tracing solutions for the future through the leading role that women have had and will have in human progress on all kinds of knowledge. This is very important as the challenges for women nowadays are still many all over the world for gender equality, for the rights of all, against all discrimination, for the health of humanity and of the Planet.

The festival is in the name of an illustrious Florentine: the Electress of the Palatinate, or Anna Maria Luisa de 'Medici (1667-1743), true muse of the festival, the first' Mother of the Homeland 'and Mother of Italian and European culture ante litteram.
Anna Maria Luisa de' Medici
Last of the Medici grand-ducal branch, Anna Maria Luisa is the woman to whom Florence owes much of its cultural and artistic heritage. In 1737 in the drafting of the Agreement with Francesco Stefano di Lorena, better known as the Family Pact, the Electress of the Palatinate, "assigns, gives, and transfers to His Royal Highness and his successors Grand Dukes, all the Furniture, and Rarity [..] such as Galleries, Paintings, Statues, Libraries, Joys and other precious things ", ordering to preserve within the city of Florence and the State of the Grand Duchy all the artistic and cultural heritage of the Medici collections" for ornament of the State, and for the benefit of the public and to attract the curiosity of foreigners ".
Thanks to his generous contribution, it was possible to keep the cultural and artistic heritage of the city of Florence intact, making it the world casket of treasures we know today. Precisely for this reason she was chosen as the exceptional godmother for The Legacy of Women.

Turkish security forces neutralized 515 YPG/PKK terrorists over the last three months in counterterrorism operations at home and abroad.
Neutralize is the word Turkish authorities often use in their statements to imply that the terrorists in question either surrendered or were killed or captured.
Between Sept. 1 and Nov. 30, 17 security guards were martyred in YPG/PKK terror attacks.
The attacks also left three civilians dead and six others injured.
Nearly 1,400 PKK suspects -- including former deputy and mayors of the Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP), an opposition party in Turkish parliament, -- were detained during anti-terror operations across Turkey. A total of 347 suspects were jailed.
Senior terror operatives in the terror group including many on the wanted list of Turkey's Interior Ministry have been neutralized in operations within and beyond Turkish borders.
Deniz Yuksel, codenamed Haki, who was sought on the green category of the list, was neutralized in southeastern Diyarbakir province.
Fatih Ozden, codenamed Bager Andok, was neutralized during a counterterrorism operation in the southeastern Hakkari's Yuksekova district on Sept. 3.
Ozden, one of the so-called heads of the terrorist group, was in the red category of the Interior Ministry's wanted list.
Mehmet Y., a convicted member of the PKK terror group, was arrested by Interpol in Bulgaria upon Turkey's request on Sept. 5.
A total of nine YPG/PKK terrorists, who were behind the attack that martyred two Turkish soldiers during Operation Olive Branch in northern Syria, were brought to Turkey on Sept. 14.
The terrorists were caught in a joint operation by Turkish National Intelligence Service (MIT) and the Turkish gendarmerie forces in Syria's Afrin city.
They were involved in Jan. 23, 2018 terror attack in Rajo area of Afrin that left Lt. Oguz Kaan Usta and Specialist Sergeant Mehmet Muratdagi martyred.
The terrorists had taken away with them the body of the lieutenant which could only be found after 58 days.
Murat Akdogan, codenamed Ali Gever, who was marked orange in the Interior Ministry list, was neutralized during an operation in northern Iraq on Sept. 15.
Also, Sabri Kartal -- who was on the grey list -- was arrested in an operation in Yuksekova on Sept. 16.
On Oct. 9, the police arrested a senior PKK/KCK member, identified as Devlet Aslan, in cooperation with the National Intelligence Service, in the southeastern province of Batman.
Aslan is reportedly among the so-called heads of the terrorist group's Belgium branch.
Serbest Paksoy, codenamed Rezan, and Selcuk Kose, codenamed Mahir Botan, were neutralized on Oct. 11 at Mt. Gabar of the southeastern Sirnak province.
Yusuf Tunc, who was in the grey category of the Interior Ministry list, was killed on Oct. 17 in a counterterrorism operation in the southeastern Adiyaman province.

His father was an immigrant from Albania who lived in Jacksonville, Florida, and later moved to California.
Lovitz was a cast member of Saturday Night Live from 1985 to 1990. He later said in an interview for the book Live From New York: An Uncensored History of Saturday Night Live that his time on SNL was the most memorable in his career. He went from having no money to being offered a $500,000 movie contract. He was nominated for an Emmy his first two years on Saturday Night Live. One of his most notable SNL characters was "Tommy Flanagan, The Pathological Liar" that generated the catch phrase, "Yeah! That's the ticket!"

On October 10, 2001, Lovitz sang a duet (with Robbie Williams) of the song "Well, Did You Evah" at the Royal Albert Hall in the UK. The recording can be found on the Swing When You're Winning album.
In 2005, Lovitz entered stand-up comedy for the first time in his career. He also appeared in the film The Producers as the strict accounting firm chairman, Mr. Marx. In 2006, he became the spokesperson in an advertising campaign for the Subway restaurant chain. He was dropped from the campaign later that year by Fred De Luca after test audiences and a number of phone calls and letters deemed him not funny enough to cause people to eat.
On May 31, 2007 the Laugh Factory on Sunset Strip announced that Lovitz had signed a deal to appear there every Wednesday night for the rest of his life. Or, Lovitz could appear in New York if he is there on a project such as a movie. In addition, Lovitz will write a Laugh Factory blog giving advice to up-and-coming comedians.

A Tottenham fan was arrested during Sunday's north London Derby after throwing a banana skin at Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
The 29-year-old striker was celebrating his goal from the spot, which opened the scoring when a banana skin was launched in his direction, an act believed to be racist. The police immediately went into the visiting fans to arrest the fan.
Aubameyang hit the target again in the second half as the Gunners secured a 4-2 comeback win in the explosive fixture at the Emirates.
Lucas Torreira and Alexander Lacazzette scored the other two goals while Eric Dier and Harry Kane found the back of the net for Spurs.

Champions On the Field and Off: 10 Most Inspiring Athletes
by Kristen Jones Neff March 7, 2021
They have captured our attention with unparalleled athletic ability, and have also led us toward a more humane society; they are champions who champion justice and equality. Tennis legend Arthur Ashe was notoriously soft spoken, but relentless in his stand against Apartheid in South Africa, while Billie Jean King has fought for gender equality in sports for decades. NBA star LeBron James ignored news anchor Laura Ingraham's call for him to "shut up and dribble" and funded community programs and voting rights initiatives in underprivileged neighborhoods. Perhaps the most visible athlete activist of our era, former 49er Colin Kaepernick, steadfastly kneeled during the national anthem in protest of police violence toward Black Americans. Kaepernick lost his job as an elite NFL quarterback, but gained his status as one of the most important social activists in history. These athletes have encouraged others to use their platform to create change. Here we honor the work of athletes who are as extraordinary off the field as they are on the field (or court or track).
Jennifer Azzi, Basketball Star and Coach
Women's basketball Hall of Famer Jennifer Azzi is a trailblazer on and off the court. Among her accomplishments, Azzi led Stanford to its first NCAA title in 1990, played professionally in the WNBA and won gold medals in the Atlanta Olympics and in two FIBA World Championships. In 2016, while coaching the USF Dons, Azzi became the first openly gay NCAA head coach. Now running her own Azzi Academy she works in partnership with Paul Austin of Marin City's Play Marin, the Warriors Community Foundation, Ikea Foundation and the Good Tidings Foundation, to provide facilities, instruction and equal athletic opportunities for low-income kids. Azzi has also hosts clinics for Her Time To Play, a national Jr. NBA and Women's Sports Foundation initiative "dedicated to championing change on behalf of girls and women."
Alysia Montaño, U.S. Olympian, Track and Field
In 2014, Alysia Montaño was 8 months pregnant when she ran the 800 meters at the US Track and Field Championships. In 2017 she ran the same race 5 months pregnant. An Olympic gold medalist and six-time national champion, Montaño has turned her attention to women's rights, specifically a woman's choice to pursue career and motherhood. In 2019 she wrote an opinion piece for the New York Times about Nike's unfortunate maternity policies that led to a congressional inquiry and company reform. Her foundation &Mother works to address what has been described by Stanford sociologist Dr. Shelley Correll as "The Motherhood Penalty," meaning mothers get hired less, promoted less and paid less, not because they aren't skilled at their jobs, but because they are mothers.
Stephen Curry, Golden State Warriors NBA Basketball Player
On the basketball court, the Warriors' superstar point guard Steph Curry can make almost anything happen. Now Curry has joined forces with his wife, restaurateur and author Ayesha Curry, to support at-risk children and families through their Eat. Learn. Play. Foundation. The Curry's family foundation's mission is to work to end childhood hunger, ensure students have access to a quality education, and provide safe places for all children to play and be active.
Anthony Rizzo, Chicago Cubs Baseball Player
Chicago Cubs three time All-Star first baseman Anthony Rizzo's life changed in 2008 when he went through 6 months of chemotherapy and survived Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Rizzo's experience gave him insight into the struggle of cancer patients and their families and he established the Anthony Rizzo Family Foundation in 2012 with a mission to raise money for cancer research and provide support to children and families battling cancer. Rizzo has donated over 4 million dollars to the Lurie Children's Hospital in Chicago. "As a survivor of cancer myself, I know the emotional and financial strain the diagnosis of cancer can put on a family. I believe that an individual does not battle cancer alone, his or her entire family does," says Rizzo. "That's why my foundation provides direct grants to families so they can focus on being together instead of how to pay their next bill."
Gabby Williams, Chicago Sky Basketball Player

WNBA star Gabby Williams established her basketball prowess as a collegiate athlete at UConn and a professional on WNBA team the Chicago Sky. Now Williams, just 23 years old, has become a vocal advocate for social justice. In 2020, Chicago Sky took a leadership position as her teammates came together collectively to launch an initiative entitled #SkyTakesAction, pledging to donate $10 per point, $100 per win and $50 per loss toward community organizations. The money benefits By the Hand Club for Kids, BYP100, the Movement for Black Lives, Firehouse Community Arts Center of Chicago and Future Ties and Williams specifically supports the Chicago Community Bond Fund. "We know what it's like to feel discrimination, so that's why we're doing this. It's not performative at all, it's for us. It's to make sure we're safe. It's to make sure people who look like us are safe," Williams told the Chicago Tribune last July.
Chicago Bears Social Justice Committee, NFL Football Players
In 2020 the Chicago Bears formed a social justice committee featuring linebacker Sam Acho, tight end Trey Burton, defensive lineman Akiem Hicks, quarterbacks Chase Daniel and Mitchell Trubisky and four front office staff members, including Chairman McCaskey. Last fall the team announced that five Chicago area community organizations (By the Hand Club for Kids, Kicks 4 the City, SAGA Education, YWCA Lake County and My Block, My Hood, My City) would receive $813,850 in donations. The team also supports regional public schools and has been in continued discussion with the University of Chicago Crime Lab to better understand which areas are most in need of assistance.
Michael Phelps, Olympic Swimmer
"Over the past couple of years, I have become a lot more open about my struggle with depression and have shared my mantra that 'it's ok to not be ok,'" writes Michael Phelps in a letter on the homepage of the Michael Phelps Foundation website. Phelps, who won 28 Olympic medals, is considered the greatest swimmer in history. By speaking openly about his struggle with depression, Phelps uses his platform to de-stigmatize mental illness. His foundation was established to promote "healthy, active lives, especially for children, primarily by expanding the opportunities for participation in the sport of swimming," and in 2018 developed a curriculum of emotional wellness lessons provided to Boys & Girls Clubs and Special Olympics participants across the country.
Megan Rapinoe, US soccer player
The moment was huge: the world watched as women's soccer star Megan Rapinoe led team USA to a World Cup victory in France in 2019, earning the Golden Boot and Golden Ball award for her play. Rapinoe has been equally bold in her work off the field, using her platform as a superstar to make an impact in the realm of civic activism and charity. She was one of the first white athletes to consistently take a knee in solidarity with former NFL QB Colin Kaepernick, protesting police brutality. Working with the ACLU, Common Goal, and the Seattle Boys and Girls Club, she has fought relentlessly for equality — focusing on pay equity, LGBTQ rights and voter registration. "If you're going to ask athletes to be a role model, you can't then be upset when they're role models. You can't be upset when they speak out for what they feel is right," Rapinoe told the LA Times in 2018.

Queen's Park 3
Scottish Cup (2nd Round)
Saturday, February 9th, 1935
Arthur Milne (23)
Dodds (20)
Dodds
W Bell (Motherwell) (Referee)
United lay fifth in Division Two while Queen's Park were an established mid-table club in Division One. The Glasgow side took the lead after 20 minutes through John Dodds but United went ahead with 32 minutes three minutes later United equalised played when Smith scored but six when Jimmy Smith's penalty was saved minutes before half-time Dodds made and Arthur Milne netted the rebound, it 2-2. Mid-way through the second half United regained the lead when Milne grabbed his second and eight minutes later he made it a hat-trick. Two minutes after that the 20-year old got his fourth, and only a further two minutes had passed when Jimmy Smith scored from the spot. That meant United had scored three in four minutes and four in eleven! Dodds completed what must have been one of the least celebrated hat-tricks ever, for an incredible final score of 6-3. United lost to Hearts in the next round, though only after extra-time in a replay.
Squad Statistics (as at February 9th, 1935)
League Table (as at February 9th, 1935)


So, you've completed the VIA character strengths questionnaire – now what?
Once you do the questionnaire online, you will receive immediate results ranking how you fared on the individual strengths contained within the classification, from #1 (your top strength) to #24 (the strength you scored worst on). The instant feedback on the VIA website merely lists your league table of results, it doesn't tell you how you scored on each strength or offer any further elaboration on what your scores might mean for you. If you choose, you have the option of purchasing reports that go into greater detail and give an in-depth breakdown of your results, as well offering more information on the strengths themselves. I have no ties with the VIA and so won't use this platform to offer an opinion on whether it would be worthwhile or not to spend money on detailed reports; however, even if you choose not to, seeing the league table-style ranking list even without additional information can be illuminating.
The logic of the classification and the questionnaire is that each individual will tend to have two to five signature strengths, i.e., strengths that you are most naturally able to tap into and cultivate. So, when you look at the instant results on the VIA website, even without specific scores and individualised comments, you will be able to see your top five and know that these approximate towards being your key signature strengths.
When you see the #1-24 laid out in league table format, you will most likely find that it makes sense to you in terms of how you view yourself, but we still need to consider how we distinguish between a signature strength and other strengths.
Martin Seligman and Christopher Peterson considered this important point when constructing the classification and spoke in terms of how a signature strength might be defined as one that a person owns, celebrates, and frequently uses. More specifically, they suggest a number of possible criteria that line up with the exercising of a signature strength. For example, if when attempting to use a particular strength you feel a sense of ownership and authenticity with regard to it (i.e., that you somehow feel as if you are tapping into your real self), then that may well mean it is one of your signature strengths. Other examples of these criteria include a feeling of excitement when displaying the strength, feeling invigorated rather than exhausted when using it, seeking out projects that will allow you to use it, and experiencing intrinsic motivation to use the strength, i.e., wanting to exercise the strength because of that sense of 'fit', as opposed to being focused on extrinsic considerations, such as using it to make money. On this latter point, using signature strengths may well prove to be financially beneficial, but that can almost be incidental or a happy by-product, as opposed to being your primary motivation for using them.
If you look at your own results, you should feel like some of these criteria apply to your top five, and would perhaps feel less applicable to the strengths appearing at the lower end of the league table.
Even then, it is important to bear in mind that you shouldn't somehow write-off the strengths that show up towards the end of your ranking list. If, say, Kindness and Self-Regulation come in at #23 and #24, you should not conclude that this means you're 'not good' at them and then abandon any efforts at being kind or exercising self-control. More correctly, just as signature strengths seem to come naturally, those that rank lower down the list will tend to require more work, but it does not mean that any such efforts should be abandoned. For example, if Self-Regulation is one of my signature strengths, then discipline and self-control will most likely come a lot easier to me than they will with someone for whom that strength ranks at #24. However, that does not mean that the latter person cannot exercise discipline and self-control; instead, it means that it will take more effort for that person to get there, but in almost all circumstances, they will be able to do so. So, items that rank towards the bottom of the list should not be thought of as weaknesses, but as strengths that will require more work to develop than signature strengths.
The broad pattern of research findings into the use of the classification makes for interesting reading. As mentioned in earlier posts, Seligman and Peterson wanted a universal classification of strengths, i.e., one that would be equally applicable to individuals living in the developing world as those in the developed. In a 2006 article co-written with Nansook Park, Peterson and Seligman highlighted research undertaken with more than 100,000 people in 54 countries around the world. They reported remarkable similarities across the board among adults. Highest "most like me" ratings across regions tended to be for Kindness, Fairness, Authenticity, Gratitude, and Open-mindedness, while Prudence, Modesty, and Self-regulation were among the lower-ranked.
One of the advantages of having identified your signature strengths is that you can then consciously set about trying to incorporate their use in various areas of your life, thus allowing you to reap the well-being-related benefits linked with the criteria listed above, i.e., exercising signature strengths is fulfilling.
You can also set yourself challenges. For example, you might select one of your signature strengths and try to use it in a new way every day for a set period of time. If Curiosity is one of your signature strengths, you might go out of your way to attend a lecture on a topic you know little about. If Humour is one of your key strengths, then you might set yourself the mission of making at least one person smile or laugh every day. You might even try to set the bar higher – if Modesty ranks high with you, you might resolve not to talk about yourself for an entire day. In today's social media-obsessed world, that might be the greatest challenge of all!


Mining and geological engineers design mines above and below the ground to remove minerals and metals used by manufacturing industries and utilities. They design methods to transport mined materials to processing plants, and monitor operations for safety and efficiency. Critically, they also develop solutions to manage mines' environmental impacts, including land reclamation, and mitigating water and air pollution. Three types of engineers typically work in mining. Geological Engineers search for mineral deposits and evaluate possible sites, then plan how to extract the metals or minerals safely and efficiently. Mining Engineers specialize in mining a particular mineral or metal, such as coal or gold. Some develop new equipment or direct processing operations. Mining Safety Engineers ensure that workers are safe and mines meet safety regulations. They monitor air quality, and inspect mines and equipment for possible hazards. Mining engineers often work at mining operations in remote locations, although some work in sand-and-gravel operations near cities, or at mining firms or consulting companies in large urban areas. Most work full time, with additional hours when posted at mining sites. A bachelor's degree from an accredited engineering program is required to become a mining or geological engineer. Relatively few schools offer the program. Licensure is not required for entry level jobs, but many experienced engineers obtain licensure for more advanced positions.

Dear Companies, Stop Delisting Old Games Once Remasters Come Out
Last month, disgruntled fans kicked off when GTA 3, Vice City, and San Andreas were removed from the Rockstar Games Store due to the release of The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition. Their criticism turned out to be justified. Thanks to the state of the remasters, Rockstar pulled a u-turn and players who bought the "Definitive" Edition were given free copies of the original titles. While it was good they were given the old games, they never should have been removed in the first place. These games represent a significant slice of the medium's history, and it's become clear companies don't give a damn about preserving it.
On the one hand, it makes sense. It costs a lot of money to remaster a game and companies obviously want to recoup their costs, so removing the originals would bolster the potential for money-making. On the other, it seems like a cynical maneuver to remove the ability for people to buy the original games legitimately and conveniently.
Why play a 20 year old game when a shiny new version has just come out? The old titles offer an essential insight into the state of the video game industry at the time. There's value in seeing just how far we've come in the decades since GTA 3 was considered a ground-breaking, must-play open world experience. Sure, it's great that it can now be played on modern systems with a fresh lick of paint, but burying the past for the sake of future profits is short-sighted.
What makes matters worse is that Rockstar's parent company, Take-Two, went through a period of aggressively shutting down mods and fan projects that were attempting to improve on the original games for free. This was so people would have no choice but to buy the new Trilogy if they wanted an enhanced experience, but an incredibly buggy launch spoiled that. Ironic given these mods did a greater job of enhancing such classics than Rockstar could even dream of.
Recently, it was announced that PS5 upgrades for Uncharted 4: A Thief's End and Uncharted: The Lost Legacy would be coming in January. This news has been undermined by Sony delisting the original PS4 games from the PSN store – now, you can only buy them bundled together. It's an anti-consumer move that discourages people from playing the games now so that they can fork over more money for the remasters next year. It also shows the company still hasn't learnt from the backlash it received when TheGamer discovered it was going to shut down the PS3, Vita, and PSP online stores.
In an age where video game publishers are heavily leaning into digital releases, customer trust is going to be vital. Moves like this are a stark reminder that you don't really own anything unless you have a physical copy of it – no matter how much NFT truthers say the opposite. For example, all films you buy on Amazon Prime Video are technically only leased from the company, since it can take away your access at any time.
Of course, you could just make sure you buy physical copies of all the games you want to play. That's what we did for years anyway. The problem with that is, it's hard to buy an Xbox Series X or a physical edition PS5, so if you want to play new games as they come out, digital is the only way for many players. On top of this, physical copies of old classics increase in price as they become rarer, or obtain collectible status, making them inaccessible to new players.
It's a disservice to the creators of classic games and the fans who still want to play them to delist them for the sake of a quick buck. It's also a cynical way to weaponise our nostalgia in order to repackage our childhoods and sell them back to us. If video games – all video games – aren't easy to play legitimately, people will play them illegitimately, and that hurts the industry too. But, if we can't trust the companies that make these games to preserve them, what are people expected to do?

'Many feel that there is a multidimensional cause behind the sinister agendas afflicting the world (such as the New World Order). But it is possible not just to sense, but to actually know and uncover its root through firsthand experience. And, unless the root is uncovered, its octopus like tentacles will continue to regrow and find new ways to influence the world, even when several have been cut off.
While research alone gets someone so far, ultimately this is an esoteric matter as those at the "center of the spider's web" are multidimensional entities who have awakened in darkness and have been working on this agenda since ancient times. They influence world events through a specific dark occult society whose members have also awakened in darkness and thus are able to communicate with them and access the intelligence of evil. These entities work beyond the realm of ordinary perception, and thus are discovered only by those who can meet and uncover them in these dimensions beyond the body.
What good people are trying to go up against then, is not simply the visible outer reaches of the octopus such as a corrupt banking or political system etc., but the very hierarchy of darkness itself.
Awakening in information is good, but what is needed is an awakening in consciousness, so that we can perceive reality beyond the visible five sense limited experience of life. By doing this we can begin to access the intelligence of light and thus provide an effective response to darkness.
Many people have encountered these sinister entities since ancient times, and today they are appearing in the ever increasing numbers of near-death experiences, and likewise in other forms of out-of-body experiences including nightmares – revealing who and what these entities are and how they work.
Ancient people have been writing about demonic entities since recorded history. They have been given many different names such as the asuras (of the Hindus), tzitzimimeh (of the Aztecs), the shayātīn (of Islam), the guardians of the netherworld (in ancient Egypt), shedim (in Judaism), alu (to the Babylonians and Assyrians) and of course demons (in Christianity), etc.
interact with non-physical beings through dreams and out-of-body experiences.
Many of these ancient people had esoteric practitioners who were able to discover information about these entities and realms beyond the body by using techniques to leave and travel out of the body (called out-of-body experiences), just as can be done today. What they discovered became the basis of many of their sacred texts. They understood the importance of awakening into other dimensions, as it is part of consciousness waking up and seeing beyond the limits of ordinary perception, and used it to uncover information about these entities that influence us beyond our knowledge and sight.
They described these entities as tormenting people, spreading evil and havoc in the world, and inhabiting dark regions in lower dimensions which have been called hell, xibalba, narakka, the netherworld, underworld, sheol, the abyss, etc. in ancient texts.
Myself, my husband, and many people today and throughout history have discovered the existence of these beings firsthand by having out-of-body experiences, either through astral projection or involuntarily in near-death experiences, as these entities exist in dimensions beyond the body and appear in the process of death for those who go into hell/the netherworld.
Whilst religious texts have been looked at by some as mere tales, the ever increasing number of near-death experiences (NDEs) are now confirming the reality behind many ancient symbols and writings. A Gallup poll has reported that around 8 million Americans claim to have had a near-death experience.
Whilst accounts of near-death experiences in which people "go into the light" and experience heavenly and angelic beings and places are well known, perhaps lesser known and admitted to are the NDEs in which people have encountered sinister entities and experienced hellish regions, and there are many of these too. Although there are some cultural differences in interpretation, the accounts are similar irrespective of belief, whether they were an atheist, Christian priest, Muslim, Buddhist or otherwise.
out of her body, which would likely give her a nightmare.
These entities are also extremely prevalent in out-of-body experiences (OBEs). A near-death experience is essentially an out-of-body experience, so it is possible to travel to these same places out of the body using exercises of astral projection (which obviously does not involve death or being near it). Almost everyone who starts exploring other dimensions through having out-of-body experiences is soon confronted with negative beings that try and thwart their attempts to wake up and see beyond the physical body. This is because people who are able to astral project in a serious and objective way are considered a real threat, as it is possible to use OBEs to truly uncover who and what these entities are beyond the limitations of physical perception.Myself, my husband, and many others I have spoken to, have encountered demonic entities whilst out of the body on countless occasions; and my husband has been able to explore them down to their root in the underworld, in the lower/infra-dimensions out of the body. In the astral plane, these creatures move around and are able to influence not only events in the physical world, but even people's own psychological state of being.
a circle of protection to keep out evil entities.
I remember one occasion where I was with a group of people doing an exercise to astral project. We had cast a circle of light around us; when I came out of my body I saw a demonic figure looking in through the window of the room, unable to get into the circle, but chanting an evil invocation to try and thwart our attempts to leave our bodies. This figure was only visible from the astral, not the physical world, yet was nevertheless influencing all of us in the room by trying to muddy our consciousness with negative thoughts and energies.
It was able to ruin the practice for the group involved, but influences like this in daily life can cause strife by stirring up emotions, influencing decisions, and leading events and individuals into darkness, evil, and failure.
Many people have also unknowingly had experiences with these entities and the hellish regions where they reside through nightmares or night terrors, as in them a person goes out of their body in sleep into these lower dimensions. Many of the monstrous negative entities they may find themselves running from can be real demonic entities.
People who are trying to awaken in light can be shown information in dreams and out-of-body experiences about demons, how they influence society, and who they work with beyond what someone in the physical world could be able to see. But information from the astral is not just limited to demons – it can be about potentially anything. Astral projection and other spiritual practices, then, become a powerful and effective means to learn how to overcome evil when combined with a spiritual work.
background both have their left arms over their right.
for those of the light). It signifies the "left-handed path".
So what are these entities? Are they human, animal, extraterrestrial or something else entirely? In my experience out of the body, these entities are either human or once were. And while this may sound far out, this concept is actually explored in a number of our own modern myths."Going to the dark side" was popularized by the Star Wars films created by George Lucas, and this same concept appears in The Lord of the Rings trilogy by J.R.R. Tolkien. Both Lucas and Tolkien studied ancient myths and religions, and their depiction of the supernatural conflict between those who have awakened in light and those who have awakened in darkness, in many ways is quite accurate.
the war between "the sons of darkness" and "the sons of light".
It is the same concept that appeared over 2,000 years ago in the famous ancient texts of the Essene community (which Jesus was said to have spent time with) called the Dead Sea Scrolls. They wrote about a great war between the archangel Michael, his angelic hosts, and the sons of light, against the demon Belial, his hordes, and the sons of darkness. Today, this same concept has been popularized through movies to form the basis of some of the myths of our own modern society.
In Star Wars the evil Sith use the dark side of "the force" (which is basically universal energy) for power and malice, whilst the Jedi use the force in line with love and cosmic principles; likewise in The Lord of the Rings trilogy there are wizards of white magic like Gandalf who use their spiritual powers for good, whilst the wizard Saruman turns to the "dark side" and uses his powers for evil.
another in a struggle of cosmic proportions.
These individuals who have awakened esoteric abilities, both of light and of darkness, are pitted against one another in an eternal struggle, with each side wishing to either uphold the principles of a free society or to completely enslave it. This was portrayed in the sacred teachings of the Hindus in the story of the Churning of the Milky Ocean in which the asuras (demons) and devas (angels) struggle against one another in a tug of war of cosmic proportions.
Individuals can both "go to the dark side" as Anakin did, and also repent and return to the light like Darth Vader. Demons can appear in the astral realm as human, or part creature, which reflects their hideous, bestial nature in which they have fortified the animalistic egos. But demons and black magicians are not silly monsters; they are people who have awakened in evil and this kind of awakening brings a knowledge of darkness, which can give them an intelligence and power beyond what any sci-fi movie could do justice to.
As these films portray, these entities are humans or were once humanoids who have "gone to the dark side" and are working according to a hierarchy of evil to control and infiltrate society.
demon Moloch in ancient times.
which is where our present society is heading.
It is important to note however, that all but a handful of people who are part of the agenda are simply in it for greed and money, forming the structure of puppet politicians and celebrities, shadow governments, criminal syndicates, and massive corporations that are manipulated by the very few at the top of the pyramid to control the many. They use human weakness and defects such as greed, ignorance, lust, and violence to entice, control and enslave their puppets, as well as the masses.
Just as the Sith were small in number in Star Wars, so are those working directly with these demonic entities as very few are actually up to it (Aleister Crowley tried and failed very publicly), because just as awakening in light requires discipline and adherence to certain practices, so too does awakening in darkness. The number of "Jedi" are even smaller. Instead most people are unknowing of multidimensional realities, they have no interest in really finding out what is going on, and their lives are simply determined by where the war between light and darkness is at.
Leaving the body to enter realms beyond the physical.
So where does that leave us? Making a decision about where we stand in this eternal struggle in which our own awakening is at stake. The only way the Jedi can return is if we put this struggle into its true context and allow the real warriors of light to do their job. Society has almost totally turned on esoteric knowledge and practitioners, and a tidal wave of censorship is set to wipe anything esoteric off the internet and strangle it on the ground. So long as the Jedi remain broken up and abandoned in exile to the far reaches of society (like Yoda in the swamp infested planet of Dagobah and Obi-Wan Kenobi as an old hermit on the planet Tatooine) there will be no happy ending. The world desperately needs people who can use OBEs to get knowledge about the inner workings and plans of evil, who meet the requirements to receive spiritual wisdom from higher beings, and have awakened spiritual/psychic faculties.
Ultimately, the agenda of evil is about stopping people from awakening spiritually; not just in information, but in consciousness, as at the end of the day, that is really what life is all about. And ultimately, that is where the war is.

Mudar la piel és una pel·lícula espanyola a cavall entre el documental i el thriller de ficció del 2018 dirigida per Ana Schulz i Cristóbal Fernández sobre la relació d'amistat entre un mitjancer entre el govern i ETA (pare de la directora) i l'home que el va espiar i trair per encàrrec del CESID. Fou estrenada al Festival Internacional de Cinema de Locarno l'agost de 2018.

Sinopsi
Juan Gutiérrez és un enginyer de Santander que es va exiliar a Hamburg (Alemanya) en els darrers anys del franquisme. Allí es va llicenciar en filosofia i es va casar amb Frauke Schulz. El 1983 ambdós s'estableixen a Sant Sebastià, on el 1987 funda el Centro de Investigación por la Paz Gernika Gogoratuz. El fet que no tingui filiació política i sigui expert en mitjancer de conflictes farà que després del fracàs de les converses d'Alger el 1989 el govern espanyol el contracti per fer de mitjancer. El 1991 aconsegueix que tots els partits bascos s'asseguin en una mesa a Washington D.C. El CESID no n'és gaire favorable i aleshores apareix misteriosament Roberto Flórez, infiltrat com a periodista i que fa amistat amb Juan, qui confia plenament en ell. El 1997 Roberto desapareix i el 1998 es fa pública una conversa entre Juan i el ministre de l'interior Jaime Mayor Oreja (el contingut de la qual només coneixien Juan i Roberto) i que acaba amb la carrera de mitjancer de Juan.
