"The essence of this unique sensitivity towards people or "personhood" rests in an understanding that one's personality—beyond the boundaries of the individual "I"—extends out to the Other… Virgilio Enriquez called attention to the fact that the Philippine language provided a commonplace term that implied the extension of the Self to the Other. This word is kapwa, a concept that combined the Self and the Other… the sharing of the Self was a common trait among Filipinos…. kapwa made up the core of the Filipino personality which should be called personhood (pagkatao) rather than as a personality.
Relationality refers to fourfold relationality, namely to God, to oneself, to neighbors and to creation.
Pakikipagkapwa… The more one engages in it, the more the goodness in the persons involved is evoked from within. "Thus kapwa is an inner principle of shared goodness/Godness, not just shared identity.
"Through the revelation of our potential for shared goodness, the process of kapwa affirms and recognizes the ultimate oneness of humankind.
"… also, the Tagalog ka-loob means your kapwa (the other who is like you) and has the same (capacity for) interiority… on a deeper level, Ka-loob means you are one with God (which is why here, I am using capital K :-)).
…the movement from pakikisama to pakikikapwa-tao implies some kind of structured movement from outer to inner.
"I translate Kapwa and pakikipagkapwa-tao as "intersubjectivity" – a postmodern term that signifies the need to devolve from the "I"-centeredness of modern subjectivities to the ability to move in a universe of relations seamlessly, fluidly, passionately, with fecundity, respect, and non-possessiveness. To say "you are my Kapwa" to another human being is to evoke this quality of being.
"We are All Related." To say this Lakota prayer is to speak to God on behalf of everyone and everything on Earth. Mitakuye Oyasin honors the sacredness of each person's individual spiritual path, acknowledges the sacredness of all life (human, animal, plant, etc.) and creates an energy of awareness which strengthens not only the person who prays but the entire planet.
then you should recognise all as oneness in form.
I say love that something.
of God through pure unbiased awareness and watch it right itself.
"totoo, ang aking kalayaan ay nakasalalay sa sariling galaw ng aking loob. Subalit posible lamang ito sa loob ng isang daigdig na mayroon akong kasama, sapagkat kung ako lang, hindi ko alam kung hanggang saan ang aking abot. Kailangan kong mamulat na hindi ako nag-iisa, na kahit anong mangyari, meron akong kapiling na kapanalig na kapwa ko na nagnanasang magpakatao at lumaya ring tulad ko.
"True, my freedom is contingent on action coming from within me. But this is only possible within a world where I have companions, because if it's only me, I don't know how far I can reach. I must be aware that I'm not alone, because then no matter what happens, I can trust my fellow beings will be as fully human and free as myself.
The Babaylan Mandala represents you in creation. YOU are the BAHALA tree of life in Sayaw ng Pakikipagkapwa, the Dance of Interconnection with all Creation. This interconnectedness flows through all of Life. It is Onenness of your sacred spark within, to the Divine Energies of Life that permeates all Creation.
It is important to note that the core principles of our ethnicity (which are kapwa-based) are built upon the culture of the spirit rather than the culture of power or the culture of wealth. Kapwa is defined as shared identity: "The other person is also yourself" (Virgilio Enriquez). Thus, relationships are generally given more importance than economic power by Filipinos.
In the olden days, people knew how to read the heavens, though they did not have names to call what they saw.
Their minds were serene, and they had wisdom that came from the Will of God.
People were respectful, kind, understanding, and loving to their fellow beings [kapwa].
The engine of life is linkage. Everything is linked.
Water and air are inseparable, united in life and for our life on Earth.
who ever was, lived out their lives.
How expansive you really are?
What heights you and humanity can reach?

Today we get write to the point with Tina Pinson. I interviewed Tina a while ago. If you would like to read her first interview click here. Read to the end, she has a giveaway for you.
My latest releases are Then There Was Grace and Christmas in Shades of Gray. Also the fourth in my Shadow Series — This Shadowed Land came out as well.
Today I want to take a closer look at Then There Was Grace. The story was written during the month after the attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon on 9/11.
Then There was Grace tells the story of a man Adam, who is ready to leave his wife Grace, when she is taken from him in a tragic event, leaving him to raise his twin 4 year-old daughters, Faith and Hope.
Adam walks through the aftermath, trying to deal with life beyond Grace and the grace he fills no one would ever give him when they learn he was preparing to leave Grace.
I suppose it's my attempt at trying to understand what took place and whether the human race understood how much grace God continues to give them.
I probably get lazier then I should and spend more time reading. Usually when I'm not writing, it's because I'm having a hard time focusing and getting it down on paper. The past few months life itself has offered up a struggle and I fight to get sat down and write. Well, actually, I have been getting some writing, now it's just getting it put into the computer.
I get ideas from stories I might have seen or things in life. As I said Then There was Grace came from what was happening in the world. Christmas in Shades of Gray is fictional look at my father in laws life. Other stories are taken from things that have happened in my life and many are pure imagination. Several what if's as well. Like watching an old movie and asking myself what would happen if the characters were such and such and something else happened.
I am for the most part a seat-of-the-pants writer. I say most part, because I will write up little point outlines from time to time so I remember what I thought about and need to get in the story. But I have never started a story from outline. Although since most of my stories come to me in dreams, they may be considered an outline of sorts.
No, I can't say I have. Some I haven't even tried to get published yet. But most, I would say, I just had to take some time before I was about to get them into the hands of a publishing house.
I do use some of my characteristics in my characters. I would say Rebekah from The Shadow Series is fashioned some after me. As is Sam in Touched By Mercy. Rebekah looks more like me and is somewhat of a tomboy like me, then I allowed her to do things I always dreamed of. Sam is fashioned more after my emotional character.
Are you working on a new project now?
I am working on a few stories, some that I've been working on for a time. I also started a sequel of sorts to Touched By Mercy, called Tamed By Mercy, and am working on a novella called Her Secret Garden.
As a writer, one of my greatest hopes is that I leave a legacy of words that glorify God and direct others to the truth. I realize my books are fiction, but I do believe that God gifts storytellers with imagination to reach those who might not stop into a church or pick up a bible. Getting my books into the hands of readers is not an easy task, so I would covet your prayers for my writing and for each life my writing touches.
Thank you so much for letting me visit today. Those who leave a comment will be entered into a drawing for an eBook copy of Then There Was Grace. Tell me how fiction has touched your life?
Thank you, Tina, for visiting with us today.
Readers, let Tina know how fiction has touched your life and you will be entered in a drawing to an eBook of her book. Leave your comment by May 7th at 5:00 pm for your chance to win.
I am really loving this book. The mystery and gothic kind of feel appeals to me. I am finding I do like books that are a bit out of the box and this one is, in a good way.
I read the first book awhile ago. I think I like this one even more than the first because I understand Julia better now. She is pulled along by other people's choices yet she has a mind of her own. I never see her as being weak, but is a woman who just doesn't know her true identity because it's being kept from her.
Isn't that what the enemy does to us in life? He steals our identity, whispers lies about who we are, makes us question what we know to be true and then we wonder who we really are, who did God create us to be? Yes, this book is a good picture of that.

The moon is a beautiful piece of work by our Master. I am enthralled by its beauty, how about you? Do you ever pay much attention to the moon, do you ever just really look at it?
Well, today we are going to think about the moon and what we can learn from it. I was actually surprised by the lessons we can learn from the moon as I began to really think about it. I hope you will be too.
How does the moon shine? Does it have it's own personal, internal light source? The answer, or course is no, it does not.
The moon can only shine when the sun is shining on it. The moon is at its height of beauty when it is full and big and bright. That's when the side of the moon that is completely lit up by the sun is facing the earth fully. Without the sun the moon would be a big ball in the sky that we would never see. But with the sun shining on it, the moon is truly something to marvel at. The moon is still beautiful even when it is a half-moon, or a just a sliver, it is still a wonder because you can still see it shining.
Another thought is that at night we don't see the sun itself, but we see the moon reflecting the light of the sun. The sun is there, we don't doubt it, we accept that it's there and is shining on the moon.
Do you know what I find even more amazing? When you can still see the moon shining and the sun is rising at the same time. You can't see this every morning. But once in a wonderful while you will get to witness this sight.
Think about it….the moon is still shining in the morning light and the sun is not only bathing the moon in light but is coloring our sky as well.
Now take this even further. As the sun becomes brighter the moon begins to fade. It looks almost transparent. You can still make it out but the sun is shining stronger and brighter than the moon at this point.
I think this is how God wants us to live.
We should be like the moon, reflecting the Son into the dark world.
Do you reflect the Son into the lives of the people around you? Are you a full moon, a half moon, just a sliver?
God wants you to shine fully for Him, He wants you to reflect his Son into this dark, dark world.
At first people may just notice you shining. They may not understand what makes you shine, but they are drawn to you. This is the time the moon shines and we do not see the sun. Then, as you do that the world will see less of you and more of the Son.
We will begin to fade, we will be transparent with our hurts, our heartaches, our joys and the Son will shine brighter and brighter not only in our own lives but in those around us.
Oh, I understand pride. See less of me? But I want the world to see me. The world will see you, the world will see you shining with the light of the Son. All your selfish desires, your wants will fade as the Son shines brighter into your life and the lives of others.
One of the most important things we can do is become transparent. This is a huge step, I understand, it's a scary step. Becoming transparent means allowing yourself to be vulneralble. But unless we do that the Son can not shine as bright in your life as He longs to.
So the question is….will you let Him, will you start by reflecting the Son into our world and are you willing to give up yourself and all that you want so the Son may shine brighter? Are you willing to let others see who you really are?
I dare you. I dare to live in such away that you are transparent and the world can see the one true Son shining brightly in your life.

Rachel Hoeck is the young woman waiting for Tyler's proposal. She senses that though he loves her and wishes to make a commitment to her and his Amish beliefs, part of him still wonders whether an Amish lifestyle is truly for him.
When an opportunity to connect with his father unexpectedly arises, a visit to California causes Tyler to question everything, including a future with Rachel. Will the new girl in his life, Lark, cause him to remain in the Englisch world? Or will he choose to be an Amish groom after all?
This is the first book I have read by either of these authors but I have heard great things about both of them.
The thing I have to remember about Amish fiction is that it isn't always as fast-paced as I might like it to be, and that's okay. I think it goes with the Amish way of life and that's the way you should read Amish fiction, savoring every detail and word.
The authors do a great job of setting the stage for Tyler's Amish life in the beginning. It gives the reader a great picture of where he is right now and this internal struggle he is going through.
The book is in Tyler's point-of-view but a woman reader can easily relate to him. He's struggling with his identity. Raise your hand if you have had this same struggle. I can pretty much guarantee that every single person has had this same issue at some point in their lives.
If we don't know who we are in Christ it's hard to live a satisfying life. Actually, it's impossible. Tyler is on a mission to discover who God says he is and not who other people tell him he must be. I love that.
I also loved how after Tyler had been praying for God to make things clear and an opportunity arises he totally questions God, thinking this isn't what he had in mind. Yikes! Isn't that so relatable? Another example of how God's ways are not ours and His thoughts are higher than ours.
If you enjoy Amish fiction I think this is one you will want to pick up.
A copy of this book given to me by the publisher through the Christian Fiction Blog Alliance in exchange for an honest review.
Today we get write to the point with Laura Jackson and her book Worth the Wait. She has a giveaway for you so read until the end!
I'm originally from a small swamp town in Louisiana, but since I moved to Texas when I was nine, I consider myself a Texan. I taught middle school language arts and loved writing with my students. When I became a librarian four years ago, I missed writing and attempted my first novel.
I was young. My mom didn't write down the date, but I was about five. One of my earliest memories is being on my knees at church, praying for my dad to get saved so he could go to heave with me, my mom, and my sister.
In Worth the Wait, Ellie has to learn that God's plan is always worth the wait—even if it's not what she planned. Even when life was a mess, God was at work. I hope readers walk away looking at their own circumstances, even the hard ones, realizing that God is working in their lives and what He has in store is worth the wait.
My blog (http://authorlaurajackson.blogspot.com/) started as a book review blog for one of my graduate classes, and I kept doing reviews. I post randomly about life and books. My most regular day is Fridays where I link up with other blogs for Confessional Fridays, where I share a little bit about myself. It's usually random things but sometimes I open up a little more.
I'm a school librarian, so I'm surrounded with fantastic books all day, and then I go home and read a lot. So, this question is almost impossible. Sold by Patricia McCormick is amazing—opened my eyes to human trafficking.
When my dad was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, his doctor told him it would either divide our family or bring us closer than ever. We've always been close, hanging out at least once or twice a week. But, it did change our relationship in that it became more intentional, more precious, and even stronger. Through his cancer, we all grew closer to each other and to Jesus, which was the only way we could walk that journey together.
Watching my parents, I learned what it means to love in sickness and in health. Watching him lose his health reminded me that each day is a gift from God to use for His glory, not my own. Being by my dad's side when he took his last breath and the peace that filled my parents' bedroom at that exact moment sealed my belief that at the second of death, we are with Jesus forever. What a day that will be!
I don't want to share too many details that involve other people, but God used my dad's cancer to bring back people to Him. Several people shared what an example he was to them, and one even came back to the Lord after years away through my dad's testimony.
I miss my dad every day, but I'm thankful that God used even something as horrible as cancer for His glory.
Philippians 4:11b is on my heart/mind the last year or so. In my words it says that in all things, be content. I have certain goals/desires/dreams that seem so far off. I want to be content with where He has me even if it's not what I would pick for myself.
Thanks for having me. Great questions!
Thank you, Laura, for spending some time with my readers, I know they appreciate it.
Readers, Laura is giving away a copy of her book, paperback for U.S. residents or ebook for readers outside the U.S. Leave a comment by April 29th at 5:00 pm to be entered.
In 1944, blonde and blue-eyed Jewess Hadassah Benjamin feels abandoned by God when she is saved from a firing squad only to be handed over to a new enemy. Pressed into service by SS-Kommandant Colonel Aric von Schmidt at the transit camp of Theresienstadt in Czechoslovakia, she is able to hide behind the false identity of Stella Muller. However, in order to survive and maintain her cover as Aric's secretary, she is forced to stand by as her own people are sent to Auschwitz.
Wow. I don't know what else to say.
This book is a masterpiece, truly beautiful.
If you love Esther's story in the Bible, if you love historical fiction, if you love romance, if you are intrigued by WWII, by the suffering the Jewish people endured, then you will LOVE this book.
I did Beth Moore's study of Esther a few year ago and I think that really gave me a deeper understanding of the characters in this book. That is a powerful study.
Stella's (Hadassah) story is amazing. The strength she has to face her enemy, to live with the enemy and feel herself fall in love with enemy and then to wonder if he really is enemy at all? What is Aric's story? There is something about him that doesn't add up to he monsters who are killing the Jews.
I love Stella's struggle with Christianity, and her friends who have shared Jesus with her in the past. Jesus is stirring in her even when she wants to deny Him.
Honestly, when I first got the book I was worried I would regret requesting it….well, there are no regrets here. And you won't have any either if you pick this one up. So why don't you 🙂 I give this one a big 5 stars.
In this new fairy tale reimagining from award-winning YA author Melanie Dickerson, Gisela's life consists of cooking and cleaning for her stepmother and stepsisters, with little time for daydreams. When she discovers the duke's son, Valten-the boy she has daydreamed about for years-is in search of a wife, she is determined to get an invitation to his upcoming ball. But once she meets her Prince Charming, other forces are determined to halt her happily ever after, putting Gisela in more danger than she ever imagined. Consistent seller and award-winning author Melanie Dickerson's previous books-The Healer's Apprentice and The Merchant's Daughter-have sold well across multiple channels. She is looking to continue her momentum, as fairy tale retellings continue to be a strong trend among readers, providing a historical romance that puts a new twist on the classic story of Cinderella.
This might be a young adult book but any woman who loves a good fairytale, or historical romance will adore this book.
This is the first book I have read by Melanie but I am planning on reading more. If the others are as good as this I may have found another author I need to keep my eye out for.
If you know the story of Cinderella then you get the general idea for this book but it is different. Gisela and Valten meet before the ball and Valten is smitten by Gisela. Valten is a strong hero who will do what it takes to protect Gisela, he does this even before he knows her. Sigh.
You will see Gisela emerge from a scared young woman into a woman who blossoms under the love of a hero. Just as we do under the love of our Savior.
I had a feeling of anticipation the whole time I read this book. I couldn't wait to see how Melanie would handle the storyline and the love between the two main characters is heart-twisting.
This is a must-read for any historical romance lover and a great read for your teen who enjoys reading as well.

Sex Aid
Erica Sagrans
More philanthropist than porn-czar, Phil Harvey launched what is now the nation's largest adult-oriented mail-order company fueled by his post-college dreams of saving the world.
As Steve Almond reports in Nerve.com, Harvey's work with the CARE organization in India in the years after he graduated from Harvard taught him the futility of attempting to feed the world's hungry. The real key to the future of the developing world, he realized, was family-planning services. Returning to the U.S. to pursue a masters degree in family planning administration, Harvey launched Adam and Eve, a mail-order condom business through which he hoped to earn money. While he attempted to sell other items in the catalogue like clothes and shipbuilding kits, he says, '(The customers) just yawned at that stuff. Every time we put something with erotic appeal in the catalog, the bells would ring.'
Though Adam and Eve experienced its share of bumps along the way (namely government crackdowns on erotic material), it continued to grow and enabled Harvey to establish a nonprofit arm, DK International, through which he can fund family-planning efforts around the world. 'By selling sex products to the world's richest citizens, he's been able to distribute cheap contraception to the poorest', writes Almond. In the past year alone, DK International has distributed IUD's, injectibles, about 23 million cycles of birth-control pills, and more than 364 million condoms. Harvey estimates that during the past two decades, he has donated $40 million of his own money to family planning efforts in Third World countries.

we met about 2 & 1/2 years ago in mexico, missouri. (we looked up the "actual date" the other day and it was sometime in april 2013... like the 26th or 27th or something like that... for all those that really care) we were both missionaries for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. and our relationship was the epitome of platonic. we were seriously just friends.
then like a year later, parker went home and then six months later i went home. and we stayed friends. the best kind of friends though-- ya know, we liked each other's pictures on facebook and instagram and saw each other like one time.
THEN. in may, i went up to provo to... do something... (i can't remember) and i hung out with a bunch of mission friends and parker was there. but he was super in like with another girl. nbd. but i told him that i was thinking about going to uvu and he told me that we would be best friends and hang out every day. and i was like, "cool." but i hadn't decided where i wanted to go yet-- idaho state sounded pretty good still. and provo just wasn't my number one choice. fast forward a few weeks, i decided that i was definitely going to uvu (not because of parker. just so we are clear on that).
at the end of june we started talking basically every day. still just as friends. as in, there was ZERO talk of any sort of relationship beyond the friend zone... [even though i had the HUGEST crush on him.] and then somehow, we had decided that he was going to come visit me in b-town. which was legitimately a four hour drive for him. [by this time i was super confused as to how he really felt about me but decided to just go with the flow] it was decided that he would come visit me the weekend of july 24th.
> if you're "just friends" then which one of you doesn't want to be "just friends"?
> are you going to date?
two weeks later, i went up to salt lake to take my cousin's mission pictures/ for his farewell. that friday we had our first date and the rest is... well, the present. i would say history, but it's still happening.
long story super short: we were friends for a long time and then it was like BAM. love.
this was on our first date!
also on our first date.
look, we matched. we didn't even plan it.
this is actually our real life look.
- we don't know if we will get married. that's why we are dating.
- he works at a call center and is taking a semester off to figure out what he wants to do with his life, but he usually goes to uvu.
- we don't know if we will get married. we'll have to see.
- he treats me REALLY, REALLY well. he's such a gentleman all the time.
- again, don't know about the 'm' word. dating is super fun at this point. so we're just going with it for now.
that's basically it. if i didn't share something you wanted to know about, sorry. but that's all that i'm really going to share with all ya'll.

Q: Nancy Model Binding Required Attribute Validation Not Working I'm using NancyFx model binding through the routing url and am trying to set up some validation for required properties. Class is as follows:
public class Query
{
    [Required]
    public string ClientId { get; set; }
    public List<string> Customers { get; set; }
}

My route is as follows:
Get["/test?customers=c1,c2"] = args =>
        {
            var query = new Query(); // A

            try
            {
                query = this.Bind<Query>(); // B
            }
            catch (ModelBindingException ex)
            {
                throw ex;
            }

            return db.Execute(Query);
        };
    }

At A, I expected there to be some sort of exception since ClientId is required but it is null when a new Query is initialized, but there is nothing.
Failing that, at B, I expected there to be some sort of error when I try to bind the Query object. Looking att he debugger, the query object's Customers property correctly has the expected value of "c1,c2". However, the ClientId in the query object is null, and there is no error. Am wondering what I can do to trigger an exception based on the fact that ClientId is required.

A: Check Nancy Wiki on validation

Once it was a mining facility. Then later its corridors rang with screams generated by grotesque military experiments. However when the Doctor and Mel arrive on a hostile alien world after detecting a distress signal, the base they find themselves in is almost deserted.
But not for long. Soon the Doctor's old enemies, the Sontarans, have landed, and are searching for the remnants of their previous research team. Before long they uncover evidence of strange occurrences on the planet. Of madness and death.
They are warriors bred for war, strong of spirit and unafraid of death. To fear the enemy is an act of betrayal. Nothing holds terror for the Sontarans.
Until now...
Recorded at: The Moat Studios
Writer's Notes
A special conversation between writers John Dorney and Dan Starkey on the creation of Doctor Who: Terror of the Sontarans.
Dan Starkey: Hello!
John Dorney: Hello! How's things?
DS: Alright thanks. I am standing up with the laptop on my kitchen worktop, as oddly there's very good wifi reception here. And it stops me from dozing off when I'm writing...
JD: That would help certainly. I'm tempted to put that in the writers notes...
DS: Why not? Although I think I wrote most of our script in the last flat I was in, not my current one. However, I think I'm going to adopt it as a handy way of keeping alert – I bruised a rib a month or two ago, which made it difficult to get comfortable sitting down, so I adopted this method. And we all know how bad sitting down is for you...
JD: You know, that's what I mainly remember about writing old scripts. Where I was. I have distinct memories of wandering around a park in Bromley trying to generate ideas for Echoes of Grey. Key lines for Solitaire on Grove Park station... I think I wrote some of Requiem for the Rocket Men standing at the kitchen top as I was moving into a new house.
DS: Yes! The first scene I wrote for Terror of the Sontarans was on a train from somewhere like Nottingham I think.
JD: What was it like to write that first scene? I know how people talk about how pleased they are to write 'INT: TARDIS' for the first time. For me, that was the very last scene of Solitaire, and because it was my second play I was so used to it by then I missed it completely....
DS: Hah! Yes, I've yet to actually write that, since you did all the Doctor and Mel scenes initially. As for the first scene... it was odd, and slightly... OK deep breath. But I think as long as you have that attitude that "This is the first draft and having words on a page is better than not" then it won't stymy you.
JD: Yeah, the freedom of being able to change things is great. You take risks and sometimes they pay off because you're not obliged to keep them.
DS: Completely! It's like that Paul Klee quotation about drawing: "take your pencil for a walk." I think the first scene I attempted is Kayste interrogating Skegg and completely failing to understand post traumatic stress disorder. I think I was aware just how nasty I could make him from then on.
JD: Ah, so you decided to go straight for the Sontarans? Ease your way in as you're so familiar with the voice.
DS: Yes. Start with a dramatic scene, and try to understand the "madness" they've descended into. As I'm sure you've found, the planning can only go so far, because when you start actually writing the scenes, interesting tangents can spark off!
JD: I think that's what happened with my first script too, for the old Sapphire & Steel audio Remember Me – the synopsis turned out to be a vague list of ideas I wanted to include, but it wasn't even remotely in the order it ended up being in.
DS: Ah, a nice list of dried ingredients waiting to be stirred together. Into the cake of drama. Or something.
JD: I kept finding bits where I thought 'well, actually, this has to happen next, as this has just happened'. And scenes ending before you'd expected because they reached the dramatically correct moment.
DS: Yes – and when it came to split up the synopsis between us, then there were a couple of story beats where it was only obvious afterwards that "oh, that's not actually a scene – that's the soggy end to the second act..."
JD: Yeah, it's the tricky thing with a synopsis. You want to tell the story, but if a synopsis was the best way to tell the story, we'd sell the synopsis.
DS: Quite! And which is why scripts are formatted in the odd way they are.
JD: Had you done much writing before?
DS: Yes, but mostly from my own edifications rather than stuff put in the public realm – you know, submitting unsolicited scripts – but I had written stuff for my comedy theatre company The Fitzrovia Radio Hour. And there was always a lot of workshopping with our shows anyway – where we pulling the scripts apart and pitching in with ideas, so it's not entirely alien process. I think it's having a forum to actually write in and then directing your energies. Actually being given a deadline! That's really handy! And being told what not to write – in terms of plot or themes – that's really handy as well.
JD: People always assume guidelines are restrictive, but they're a good way to fire the imagination.
DS: Yeah, there's a lot of improv games – like the ones from Whose Line Is It Anyway – where the point is to deal with a restriction, and it's the pleasure of seeing the performer succeed or more likely fail brilliantly that makes it work. I think that my 'improv head' is a very handy resource when writing, especially dialogue!
JD: That's why actor's make good writers I think. I tend to view a script as an improv exercise where I'm playing all the parts. And, if need be, where I can hone it all a bit later.
DS: Exactly! The creative head and the editor head need to be swapped. Like Worzel Gummidge.
JD: And you've done a bit of improv as a Sontaran, so I can see why they wanted a Sontaran story from you – it's automatically an interesting prospect. You've got the potential to offer insights the rest of us don't have.
DS: Well, I have had a lot of time inside the suit to think about it. And obviously there's not just the depiction of them on TV, there's the spin-off media too, so it's all had time to percolate into my head when I'm producing a performance. And hopefully this script will give another interesting perspective on them. I don't think that you can be too 'definitive' about it too. As I see it, they've been fighting an un-winnable war for umpteen thousand years, so I imagine they're going to try different horrible things out every-time we meet them!
JD: It's certainly what sets them apart from the other alien races in Doctor Who. Usually humanity is just collateral to them.
DS: I'm sure I mutter to myself – even on the train – when coming up with dialogue.
JD: Oh I do as well. David Richardson and I once share a train journey together when I was writing the opening scenes of 1963: The Assassination Games. His Facebook post said that 'Dorney is muttering to himself.' Almost all our writer friends commented saying "yes? Well, of course he is. That's how you do it."
DS: Yes, I had the delights of trying to speak some of my own dialogue in this one. So, I only have myself to blame for some of the knottier bits of technobabble or overly long clauses which take ages to resolve and can't really be said in one breath even if they have to...
JD: I've rarely been in productions that I have written. There's always the faint worry that writer-me will screw it up for actor-me and vice versa. So I rarely take part – unless it's getting killed off in Scene 1 of Iterations of I...
DS: Hah! Brings back memories of The Foe From The Future where I got eaten about four times...
JD: Well, as I've said many times, we've killed each other more times than is strictly decent. Although technically, I think you've only actually killed me once.
DS: I do apologise!
JD: Yeah, you should catch up with your murdering. It's polite.
DS: What's more fun than a good death scene, eh? A gift to the actor,
JD: Oh yeah. Love them!
DS: I remember getting slightly hysterical on the wild track we did of 'Kraal massacre' on The Oseidon Adventure. Too much fun.
JD: The wild track are probably the best bit of any day.
DS: And in the case of Sontaran punch-ups, best left until the end to save on the old cough syrup...
JD: Yeah, that was my main take away from my one scene Sontaran guest part in this story. It hurts the throat. I'm amazed you can do it all day!
DS: I'd like to say it's all good technique dear boy, but I think I've just managed to trick my throat into feeling that it's normal. Up to a point...
JD: Anything else you'd like to add? Or anything from the Sontarans themselves?
Sontaran: Do not buy this recording human scum! It depicts another ignominious defeat at the hands of the Doctor! Lies!
DS: Or we could leave it there, really.

We only hurt ourselves, delaying our confrontation with the root of the problem, undermining our ability to solve it.
The trick is in being honest with ourselves, and critical. And consistent. We lack an application of the same standards across the board, an imperative we must employ. Deal with terrorist attacks the same way we deal with other deadly phenomena. Identify them, analyze them, describe them as they are, digging into the various factors that give rise to them.
We have said everything there is to say about the atrociousness of our foreign policy, a policy that aggravates the geopolitical situation, in fact, we have been more than open about it. We are engaged in a constant debate on how to mitigate our errors, how to deal with our international relations and the way we conduct ourselves in the global arena.
We have also raised issues with many a corporation on account of their policies, the callous economics many of them apply — how they exploit the poor and weak, the destitute and marginalized, giving rise to extremism.
We have also analyzed the way our current paradigm leaves many people feeling alienated. With no sense of belonging, a great number of individuals denounce the system, finding solace in violent acts that make a powerful statement against said system and those who support it.
We have analyzed these factors extensively, speaking openly about them.
How about we also identify the role of religion in all this, in the name of which an increasing number of people are carrying out deadly terrorist attacks. Hardly a comprehensive explanation, it would nevertheless address one key ingredient, one which we choose to ignore.
Time to acknowledge the fertile ground religion provides to people whose faith is insulted, and whose rage seethes with homicidal tendencies whenever they deem their way of life slighted. Dare we say that a belief system that considers its creed holy and beyond reproach, and which regards its texts as infallible, and whose word is final, and whose agents command absolute control over a large part of their adherents, a huge number of people — dare we call this belief system a healthy one? Dare we praise its good side without acknowledging the volatile premise on which it operates?
It's time we acknowledged how wrong and crooked this premise is, wherever applicable, how dubious the operational parameters of some faiths are, and how easily things can go wrong when you start from the premise of infallibility, untouchability, and final words. When you cannot tolerate the slightest criticism or comment. When you deem all words critical of your faith 'blasphemy' — a 'sin' punishable by a number of severe acts, the top of which is damnation, which is apparently an acceptable idea in religious circles — when your entire system hinges on the notion that all those who disagree with your teachings are worthy of damnation, you have a problem, and so do the rest of us.
Of course, when an occultist white-supremacist maniac is involved, we like to mention his Satanic affiliations because we think they matter.
And when it's a Christian who's killed a whole bunch of people, we may or may not address the issue of religion. It's very complicated.
Hypocrisy, dear friends! Fear, lots of it, and false noblesse. Cowardice. We refuse to address a key factor in the plague of terrorism, and we do so with extreme narrow-mindedness posing as sophistication, putting our precious ideals before the facts. We have a strange way to address pagans or Christians who commit acts of terror, muddying the waters, then, when dealing with terrorist attacks involving Islamist perps, we change tack, forcing the peg into our square expectations, exhibiting the same kind of dismissive single-mindedness normally associated with racists and xenophobes, supremacists and fascists, but we dress it up as multiculturalism. We pretend to be open-minded, applying our double standards as we see fit, all the while criticizing the other side's double standards. We're afflicted with the same disease, the only difference being we occupy the opposite side of the river. We are in favor of an open and inclusive society, as opposed to the bigots across us, but when the time comes to apply some reason to the plagues of today, we fail to read the situation properly, just like racists and bigots do, eager to dress things up according to our prejudices, our idées fixes.
We harm ourselves in the process, not to mention our cause at large.
The good news is there is a way around this affliction, and it's simple, at least in principle. Be forthright and critical, subjecting the phenomenon of terrorist attacks to the full extent of our reason. Apply judiciousness, and call things as they are, be we partial to conservative whiteness or to liberal multiculturalism, or anything in between.
The ugly truth is, religion and culture have everything to do with terrorist attacks. Sometimes the terror is driven by white supremacist faith, sometimes by Islamist faith. Sometimes it targets Christians, sometimes Muslims, sometimes Jews, or simply citizens of a Christian, Jew, or infidel state. It targets apostates and traitors. It targets Muslims who resemble the perps of bombing attacks, leading to xenophobia and racism, resulting in public shootings and stabbings, revenge killings — acts of terrorism.
In other words, terrorism has a strong religious, political and cultural flavor. It may strike indiscriminately sometimes, but the intention seems to be religiously and racially motivated. Yes, there are more factors to it, but that's no reason to bury the one we're talking about under them, pretending it's not there.

It seems that people go to places like the Louvre to say that they have been. it isn't about looking at the works, or exploring the history of art, it's about bolting through, looking at the Mona Lisa and leaving. And gawking at the nudes.
the enormous wait times may have a lot to do with that, the line for the Louvre is over an hour on weekends. people are exhausted and over it by the time they get there. but it still strikes me as extremely sad.
I have been to the Louvre, I was disappointed because we only had a couple of hours there as part of our tour. I am one of those incredibly irritating people who will stop in front of a painting for aages, get as close as I can (I did set off alarms accidentally :oops:) and study it. I used to go to the NGV for a whole day just to wander and study the pieces. I look at the colors, the brush strokes, the relationships. there is so much to be gained by looking at a work of art in the original. in the days when Granny and I went together you could just forget it! we would spend 10 minutes discussing each work at a minimum. I remember a Turner exhibition I saw with her where we were mesmerized by the colors for hours on end. my mother was exceptionally bored. I would feel sorry for her if it wasn't one of my most delightful memories of my Granny.
and by the way, the Mona Lisa is a bit disappointing. it's really quite small and you aren't allowed anywhere near it so you can't make out any of the details. if you can see it over the crowd at all. I was more thrilled with seeing the Ingres' and Degas' in real life.

DIANA AKI had already acquired the nickname "The Songbird of Miloli'i" when she received the Female Vocalist of the Year award for her debut album, Memories of You, in 1990. One of the songs on it is a haunting and melodic version of "Songbird." The girl with the clear, sweet voice from the village at the end of the road had also attracted the attention of other famous musicians, including Eddie Kamae and Israel Kamakawiwo'ole, who traveled to the remote Hawai'i Island fishing village of Miloli'i just to find out more about her and the old Hawai'i songs that she sings. They were so touched by the village's people and the passion with which they sang that they both asked permission to record songs they heard Diana sing there.
It was in Milo'lii that I found my Hawaiianess I was lonely at first, I felt alone. The cousins and children my age never bothered about me. I was always with the elders, the older ones. That's where I learned. Two of my aunts, the Grace sisters—Kalua and Rosaline—were the ones that really kept the music going, always singing the old songs. I started to learn [the language], but the songs spoke to me. Hawaiians are very observant and I would observe more than I would speak." Her first album, Moments With You was entered in Nā Hōkū Hanohano awards competition, where she was honored with Best Original Song (Haku Mele) for "Mana'o Pili" and the 1990 Female Vocalist of the Year.

Current: Creators of WWII spy thriller explore the death—& near resurgence—of Hitler in SON OF HITLER
Creators of WWII spy thriller explore the death—& near resurgence—of Hitler in SON OF HITLER
Image Comics is pleased to reveal preview pages from the "controversial" graphic novel SON OF HITLER, which will hit shelves this June. The alternative history story, written by acclaimed creators Anthony Del Col and Geoff Moore with art by New York Times bestselling cartoonist Jeff McComsey, explores a longstanding legend from the war with a twist that chillingly echoes today's hostile American politics.
PORTLAND, OR, 5/29/2018 — Image Comics is pleased to reveal preview pages from the "controversial" graphic novel SON OF HITLER, which will hit shelves this June. The alternative history story, written by acclaimed creators Anthony Del Col and Geoff Moore with art by New York Times bestselling cartoonist Jeff McComsey, explores a longstanding legend from the war with a twist that chillingly echoes today's hostile American politics.
In the darkest days of World War II, SON OF HITLER follows a rogue female spy handler who discovers a shocking secret—that when stationed in France during the first world war Adolf Hitler fathered an illegitimate child. She finds this young man in Occupied France and recruits him to get close to—and kill—his biological father and end the war. In the vein of The Man in the High Castle, Inglourious Basterds, and Zero Dark Thirty, the story's creators were inspired by recent worldwide political events to craft a completely new ending.
"When Geoff, Jeff, and I first started working on this project, we wanted to tell a pulpy tale of a manipulative woman on a Nazi-hunting expedition that culminates in Hitler's bunker," said Del Col (Kill Shakespeare, Assassin's Creed). "But as we witnessed unfortunate world events like the Charlottesville riots—combined shortly thereafter with the moment I witnessed someone on my neighborhood street wearing a Nazi swastika—I realized we had a duty to explore the roots of what's happening today."
Perhaps as a reflex of the recent rise of white supremacist groups in the news, stories of World War II and Nazism are growing in every medium, from film (Dunkirk, Darkest Hour) to video games (Call of Duty: WWII, the revived Wolfenstein franchise) and even television (The Man in the High Castle, the just-announced Jordan Peele project The Hunt). Canadians Del Col and Moore turned to indie stalwart McComsey (FUBAR, Flutter), who has done many stories and anthologies set during World War II and has created a book that feels like it's from the era.
First announced at the prestigious ImageExpo in February, SON OF HITLER (ISBN: 978-1-5343-0224-2, Diamond Code: MAR180612) is an original graphic novel that will hit comic shops on Wednesday, June 20th and bookstores on Tuesday, June 26th. It can be pre-ordered on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, IndieBound, and Indigo.

Now in a new gorgeous velour fabric, 'Jazz' [the fabric is mohair and cotton which gives it that rich velour texture]. Fluffy and comfortable, velour has a tactile nature that gives you the urge to touch it and experience the defined curves of the furniture in a whole new way. We love this sofa because it is compact and elegant...and that shape! It does invite you to mingle. The Mingle sofa was designed in 1935 by architect Flemming Lassen and was presented at the Cabinet Maker's Autumn Exhibition in the same year. It was subsequently praised for its qualities as a small but elegant sofa in the professional journal "The Architect".
