Database Mail is primarily used for altering administrators of performance conditions or changes that have been made to objects. However, they also can include the results of queries. Database Mail uses the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) relay service that is available on all Windows machines to transmit mail messages.
Profiles form the core element within Database Mail. A given profile can contain multiple email accounts to provide a failover capability in the event a specific mail server is unavailable. Security can provide access to a mail profile to restrict the user's ability to send mail through a given profile. When a profile is created, it can be configured to be either a public or private profile.
Public profile can be accessed by any user with the ability to send mail. Can be designated as the default. When sending mail, if a mail profile is not specified, SQL Server uses the mail profile designated as default to send the message.
Private profile can be accessed only by those users who have been granted access to the mail profile explicitly.
NOTE: If SQL Server Agent is not running... Message will accumulate in a queue within the msdb database.
We also reviewed GoFish4 and Thor. You can find them both at VFPx.

Restored monument to Callimachus's victory at Marathon goes on display in the New Acropolis Museum
Posted at 9:42 pm	in Greece Archaeology, New Acropolis Museum
More coverage of the restored Callimachus victory monument that has gone on display in the New Acropolis Museum in Athens.
"Callimachus Victory" monument re-assembled after 2,500 years
ATHENS, Oct. 26 (Xinhua)– Greek Culture and Tourism Minister Pavlos Geroulanos unveiled on Tuesday at the New Acropolis Museum the "Victory of Callimachus", an ancient Greek monument which was re-assembled and is on display to the public for first time as a complete monument after 2,500 years.
The statue which depicts Nike (Victory), in the form of a woman with wings, on top of an inscribed column, was created by marble in honor of Callimachus, one of the generals who took part and died in the Battle of Marathon between Athenians and Persian invaders in 490 BC.
It was dedicated to the goddess Athena and erected next to the Parthenon temple on the Acropolis hill shortly after the Greeks' unexpected victory in the battle.
It is believed to have been severely damaged by Persians a decade later when they finally conquered Athens and burned the Acropolis monuments. The head of the statue and parts of the torso and hands were never recovered.
As Greece marks this year the 2,500th anniversary of the Battle which is regarded as most significant in the course of European history, Greek archaeologists restored and put together for first time all the parts of the fragmented sculpture dispersed until recently in various museums.
The reconstruction and display of "Callimachus' Victory" was done in the framework of a series of events organized by Greek authorities this year to commemorate the anniversary of 2,500 years since the Battle of Marathon, culminating with the 28th Athens Classic Marathon to be held on October 31.
More than 12,500 athletes from across the world are expected to run this year the 42 kilometers distance from the Marathon to Athens, following the steps of the legendary ancient Greek soldier Pheidippides who ran from the battlefield to announce the victory and died of exhaustion.
"The anniversary of the 2,500 anniversary of the Battle of Marathon is a great opportunity to showcase the country's comparative advantages," said Geroulanos, calling on people from across the world to visit Greece which this year struggles to overcome an acute economic crisis.

Bernie Kosar remains one of the most beloved sports figures in Cleveland history. Raised in Boardman, Ohio, where he was a standout high school player, Kosar considered himself a "Cleveland guy" and worked with then-owner Art Modell to make his dream come true to play in a Cleveland Browns uniform.

Andy Murray faces Kei Nishikori and Roger Federer takes on Milos Raonic on the opening day of the ATP World Tour Finals at the O2 Arena in London.
Kei Nishikori v Andy Murray is live on BBC Two, Sky Sports HD3 and BBC Radio Five Live Sports Extra from 2pm.
Roger Federer v Milos Raonic is live on Sky Sports HD3 and BBC Radio Five Live Sports Extra from 8pm.
The season-ending tour finals, taking place at the O2 Arena in London for a sixth straight year, gets under way in some style in Group B with Andy Murray facing Kei Nishikori and Roger Federer taking on Milos Raoinic.
Murray returns to the ATP Finals for the first time since winning the Wimbledon title in 2013 but could walk into a wall of hostility having declared his support for Scottish Independence in September.
His opponent is US Open runner-up Nishikori, the who will become the first Asian player to face in the tournament this week in his maiden appearance.
The Briton has a 100% win record over Nishikori and, aiming to better his two previous semi-final appearances will be seeking to maintain that record and take advantage of the Japan's player's late-season weariness.
The second round robin match in the evening session sees six-time champion Federer begin his campaign against another debutant in Raoinic, who defeated him at the Paris Masters last month.
The 6ft 5in Canadian could provide a real threat to both Federer and Murray in London with his dominant serve however the varied fortunes of debutants in this competition provides no guarantees over his potential impact.
Kei Nishikori: "I might get nervous first time but I'll try to play my best tennis and try not to think too much of it being the Tour Finals. It's a great achievement to play in the Finals for the first time. Last year I started thinking about playing there, so it will be really great."
Andy Murray: "Winning matches is how you play yourself into form and that's what I needed to do at this time of year,' This week in practice I've been OK. The practices have been hard – you're practising with the best players in the world so that's always tough, but it's good."
Roger Federer: "I lost [to Raonic in Paris] because he played well and I can accept that. It's definitely more up to me than up to him, potentially. As I'm feeling good I'm actually happy I have the chance for a rematch."
Milos Raonic: "For me the main focus, which is very different from any other week, is finding my best tennis right from the first match. The general excitement of being here in London puts everything aside. Qualifying for here signifies mostly a successful and year and it is now about trying to end the on an exclamation mark."


or have you, never quite recovered?
and then, did you let it hover over you and everything else well after the fact?
Erin and I are in couples therapy, basically super early and preventative. Erin and I moved in together basically a year ago. We were working on moving in, working on figure out how to live together and whatnot. When Adam died, that mostly stopped. I was (and to a large degree still am) at capacity with just every day life, just living and am not able to do the other things that should get done like unpacking, figuring out where stuff goes and finishing rooms, keeping the house kinda tidy. For Erin this is a big deal, she lived in a cluttered house as a child and has trouble focusing and is never fully at ease in a cluttered environment. She also doesn't feel fully at home in the house because she's not unpacked and can't find stuff she wants to use. Basically, I'm having to resist resenting her for not being able to give me time and she's having to resist resenting me for not getting the stuff done. So we're going to couples therapy to try and work on how we deal with each other and those times when we are in conflict. Had second session today. The first session I talked about Adam and the situation there, how he died, who he was to me, etc and it sort of made it more fresh than it had been in a while. I was decidedly not as far along with it than I thought. I was not as healed as I thought or had hoped. Honestly, this kinda scared me. I'm going to try and find a therapist I like to do therapy for me and see how/where that goes… If I can get help with this, great. If it doesn't work out, so be it but there won't be a "what if" type feeling in the future. Also, sorta feels like like a decent part of my side of the problems with "us" are relate to or are made worse because of Adam's death/being dead. So feels like if I'm doing one, have to try and work on the other too to a certain degree.
It's 2am and I need to work in the morning, so I should get to bed, will need to make another post with general updates later.
or just shrink, does the heart shrink?
who it was that put you here and why?
did anyone really put you here at all?
and what of those necessities, like how to cope with tragedy and pain?
did anyone ever show you how?
'cause I don't see my heart getting strong.

Cathy Bell studied English and Medieval Literature at Cambridge, and undertook postgraduate vocal studies at Birmingham Conservatoire. Since moving to London in 2009 she has established a varied career in opera, ensemble and particularly oratorio work, coming to notice for the innate musicality and sensitivity to text that she brings to every performance. Recent highlights include the role of Venus in Pepusch Venus and Adonis for the Valletta International Baroque Festival, and Second Witch in the Academy of Ancient Music's highly acclaimed Dido and Aeneas at the Barbican, a role she reprised at the Nordland Music Festival with Barokksolistene Norway in August 2019.
Cathy is an experienced and accomplished soloist on the oratorio platform. She has performed much of the standard concert repertoire for the alto voice, at venues including the Royal Festival Hall, Cadogan Hall, Southwell Minster, Wells Cathedral, Bath Abbey, Birmingham Symphony Hall, Nottingham Albert Hall, and St Magnus Cathedral Orkney. Recent highlights include the Rachmaninoff Vespers with groups including Britten Sinfonia, Sonoro and the Oxford Bach Choir; Bach Mass in B minor with Nottingham Harmonic Choir and Cantemus; Mendelssohn Elijah with the Bach Choir; and Bach St John Passion with Leicester Bach Choir and at the Leith Hill Musical Festival. As a low mezzo Cathy enjoys singing Handel's ever-popular Messiah in venues across the UK, but she also loves exploring more esoteric repertoire, and has made a particular specialism of neglected works from the Italian baroque such as Alessandro Scarlatti's Salve Regina and Vivaldi's Introduzione e Gloria RV 588, Magnificat and Dixit Dominus.
In 2014 Cathy was the first singer to be awarded a place on the Handel House Talent Scheme. While a member of the scheme she gave recitals at venues including the Handel House, St George's Hanover Square and the Wallace Collection; developed and performed a lecture recital on Handel's London years; sang in masterclasses with Mark Padmore and Laurence Cummings; and was the singing leader for several workshops and education projects.
Cathy is as comfortable on the operatic stage as the concert platform. Notable highlights include the title role in Carmen for Barefoot Opera; Arsamenes (Handel Xerxes) for Hampstead Garden Opera; Russian Nanny (Britten Death in Venice) for Garsington Opera; and Third Lady/Third Boy (Mozart Die Zauberflöte) for Diva Opera and the Palestine Mozart Festival. Cathy has a strong commitment to contemporary music and has taken principal roles in new operas at the Tête à Tête and Grimeborn festivals, recorded a new work by Will Todd for an education project at Opera North, and worked on the development of a new piece for WNO MAX.
Cathy also works regularly in ensembles such as the BBC Singers, the Academy of Ancient Music, Philharmonia Voices, Sonoro, the Dunedin Consort, the Clerks' Group and EXAUDI, and sings for film sessions with groups including London Voices, the Pinewood Singers, Synergy Vocals, Apollo Voices and RSVP Voices.
Cathy lives in London with her husband Jon Stainsby, also a singer, and their energetic daughter Rosie, born in 2016.

Alan Fairs
Alan's background was in church and choral music. He was a chorister at Caius College, Cambridge, then bass lay clerk at Worcester Cathedral. He also sang with several professional choirs, especially the BBC Singers, and developed a wide-ranging oratorio repertoire, with engagements for a large number of choral societies from Truro to Aberdeen.
After winning the Incorporated Society of Musicians' national 'Festival Days' competition, he embarked on a full-time solo singing career, with many years of private study in singing. After several solo recitals on Radio 3, and further oratorio concerts, he auditioned successfully for Glyndebourne, embarking on an award-winning operatic career which has spanned three decades. He has performed many principal roles at Glyndebourne, Welsh National Opera, Scottish Opera and Covent Garden, as well as with other opera companies in the UK and abroad.
After this long career in opera, Alan has decided to focus on oratorio – where he began. Concerts this year have included two performances of Stainer's Crucifixion, Beethoven's Mass in C, Haydn's The Seasons, the Nelson Mass, the Stabat Maters of Rossini and Dvorak, Brahms' German Requiem, Stanford's Songs of the Fleet, Vaughan Williams' Five Mystical Songs, a premiere of De Profundis by Piers Maxim, Dvorak's Requiem and several performances of Messiah, with a Verdi Requiem to look forward to next year. Over the past year, Alan has also given three performances of Barber's Dover Beach with two string quartets.
With his wife, Heather, accompanying, he recently presented a 'Teatime Entertainment' – a light-hearted affair on Sunday afternoons, featuring Songs of Jerome Kern, Flanders and Swann, etc., which raised just short of £3,500 for the Save the Children Fund. They offer the same for choral societies' fundraising.
Besides his work as a singer, Alan is an economist, DIY enthusiast, and cook. Since he drives a car to almost all his rehearsals and engagements, and lives far from London, he considers he must have driven well over half a million miles in his long career, and sometimes thinks of himself as being a professional driver, the bouts of singing being merely what happens between all the long journeys. He has driven home to Bewdley, Worcestershire through Shipston very late at night on many occasions!

New Regionalism
What is Independent Culture?
All artists wish to be independent – or wish to be seen as independent – and all artists profess to be independent; but what does independence mean?
The Impressionists called themselves 'independents'; and few would argue with this given their history of rejection by the salon and their subsequent charting of a new path, beginning with their 1863 Salon des Refusés ('Exhibition of the Refused'). 'Great artists. . . live in permanent conflict with their administrations', writes Theodor Adorno, in The Culture Industry. This idea is expressed in numerous works of social theory: One-Dimensional Man, The Impact Of Science On Society, Postmodernism and Consumer Society, etc. All artists who do not specifically insist on independence will be absorbed, or controlled by, the system. Plato's Republic, books III and X explained (for anyone interested in governing a republic, or any other kind of society) that artists are a disruptive, if not dangerous, subversive force; and should, therefore, be censored and/or regulated.
Open censorship is not acceptable today, of course, though this does happen in more subtle ways. Artists who have not been through the official channels, the 'unschooled' (or those who adhere to more traditional modes), are generally not considered by major public institutions.
Truly independent artists are generally the best artists however, if for no other reason than they have managed to continue their work, and distinguish themselves (or earn a living at least), despite a system set in place to specifically marginalize them (and their ideas), and to prevent their work from being seen by a wider audience. Censorship, in its various forms, is often an ineffective way of keeping independent art from the public, because the public is frequently more savvy than the ruling elite believe; people often know, instinctively, when they're being sold a bill of goods – despite theories to the contrary. From the 1944 work by Horkheimer and Adorno, Dialectic of Enlightenment:
'The rate at which they [the consumers of culture industry product] are reduced to stupidity must not fall behind the rate at which their intelligence [cultural savvy] is increasing.'
A far more effective restraint is now taking effect, which was predicted many years ago; that is, the need for artists to earn a living. No matter how much a society appreciates a fine painting or sculpture (well-crafted art work in any form), if the people themselves are struggling financially, they cannot support their artists.
'[A]s private fortunes dwindle, artists become increasingly dependent upon the patronage of public bodies', writes Bertrand Russell, in The Impact Of Science On Society. The private fortunes dwindling now, of course, are those of the middle-class. 'In Russia they [the artists] are already mere licensed sycophants', he continues, echoing Plato's advice to the ruling elite. He goes on to say, elsewhere, 'before long, with conscription of labor, no one will be allowed to practice literature or painting unless he can get twelve magistrates or ministers of religion to testify to his competence'.
In his famous 1939 essay, 'Avant Garde And Kitsch', the world's most acclaimed art critic, Clement Greenberg, famously stated that art 'actually belongs' to 'an elite among the ruling class', going on to explain that this group had 'abandoned' its role in the 'development' of culture for the 'masses'. His suggestion therefore, implicit in this work, is that the 'ruling class' should once again take back its art. This happened in the early fifties, as the untold history of modern art reveals.
Robert Hughes explains, in The Shock Of The New, how the ruling elite lost control of art in the first place (in one area of the world), in the period leading up to the Russian Revolution. The relationship of the ruling-class and the middle-class to the artists, is made clear in this work; and indirectly, the difference between the independent artists and artists in the pay of the ruling elite (system artists). Ultimately, whoever has money has power, and ideas that support the dominant system will be transmitted through art. Wealth may be highly concentrated in a small ruling class – the church, a Monarch, or a corporate / financial elite – or, more equitably distributed over a wide swath of the population, as when the middle-class grew to the point of being the largest demographic, in the 60s and 70s. (More on this in the next section 'democratic').
As money became more evenly distributed, the base of support for artists grew (that is, as the number of people sufficiently affluent to purchase art and attend performances increased). As the number of artists grew in this model (in which support came from many individuals, rather than one central authority), the number of perspectives also became more numerous; this diversity of ideas and views is crucial for the well-being of society. Just as in natural environments, the greater the bio-diversity, the healthier and more resilient the system. Using this analogy, a mono-culture, which seems the most 'productive', is also the most precarious; when the environment changes, a system of this kind is likely to collapse entirely.
It is equally important to make the argument at this point in time (as so very few understand the importance of art in society), that the disappearance of independent artists should be alarming for the simple reason that this signals the contraction of money in the hands of the middle-class; and thus, a diminishing of the middle-class predicted for this point in time (three generations after the Second World War). Whether or not an individual should wish to purchase art is almost irrelevant here; every aspiring middle-class citizen should expect to be affluent enough to make such a purchase, should they wish. If it were understood that it was artists that ensured this would be the case (in the past) then artists might be taken seriously enough again in order to unite the population and bring positive change. (Please see the untold story of art).
Instead, 'each will be turned against the other, forcing individuals to deceit and fraud, in order to survive', Adorno describes the effects of the contraction of money in, Late-stage Capitalism (known alternatively as 'Advanced Capitalism' and 'Inverted Capitalism'). Naturally, in such an environment, the middle-class (or the remnants of a middle-class), will not only be unable to support the independent artists who represent the interests of the people, but they will become so preoccupied and distracted with survival, that art will be considered irrelevant. Artists, in this scenario, become a nuisance the moment they stop being entertaining.
In this environment of discontent, the artists who remain (supported by the same state that has allowed the hollowing-out and impoverishment of the middle-class) will indeed become a 'licensed sycophants.' Those artists who criticize this system, of course, will not be supported, and their voices will not be heard. Attempts to promote this idea of an independent culture will be marginalized as long as possible; and if this does not work, independent movements will be co-opted, and brought into the system. This is a model with a long tradition; in the fashion world, what springs up as a fringe movement, will be folded into the apparatus, and promoted as independent, rebellious, renegade and cool.
In his book, Curationism: How Curating Took Over The Art World And Everything Else, David Balzar says, of Relational Aesthetics, 'no previous movement was so quickly absorbed.' Arguably, the first instance of this was when American Dada movement, which billed itself as 'The Society Of Independent Artists', invited Marcel Duchamp to exhibit at the 1917, Armory Show in New York. Duchamp would not reveal what he intended to show until the very last moment. He purchased the now famous urinal, scribbled on it, 'R.Mutt', and delivered it. When the committee, understandably, rejected the piece, a media furor followed; and the rest, as they say, is history. This is a story of the power of the media to block certain stories; to put a new spin on those they can't control (or have an interest in promoting otherwise); and to create an alternate history. The 'Culture Industry,' as such, did not exist at this point, but many of the same controls were in place. When the Culture Industry did organize itself, Duchamp's work was not only made famous, it was mythologized (with rarely a mention of the actual story).
What is most important now, is that the next generation (generations) of independent artists be supported. In the tradition of Regionalist artists' past, who brought above improvements in the lives of everyday people, we are now working toward reform of the monetary system (rather than reform of the social system, which was the focus of previous Regionalist artists) with the aim of restoring the middle-class to its pre-1974 status – that is 2/3 of the population, rather than an ineffectual 1/3 (which is now the case). This should come, of course, with a commensurate improvement in income. In a traditional 'value-based' monetary system, money circulates more equitably among the middle and working-classes, rather than flowing continually to the top of the social pile (as described). Only when the debt-based currency (quietly substituted for our original Canadian dollar in 1974) is phased out, will the middle-classes see an improvement in their lives. Perhaps the time is right, and maybe we will enjoy the same success as the Romantics (which allowed the first true middle-class to emerge), and the American Regionalists (whose advocacy for the New Deal, allowed the middle-class to continue, after the Great Depression crashed the world economy in 1930s).
In the meantime, as the fortunes of the middle-class continue to diminish, we are continuously looking for new models for independent artists to continue their work. We are not a charity (as CRA rules would strictly limit the issues we can discuss and advocate for, in this case). So rather than a 'Donate Now' page, with the promise of a tax receipt, we must draw your attention to our calendars, prints and original art, the purchase of which will support artists directly, and help us continue our work. Instead of a perfunctory tax receipt, supporters will receive a meaningful piece of art from an independent artist, and your contribution will help us share this important and little-known history.

Santa's a Girl?
Disney's new film Noelle introduces a new concept...Santa's a Woman!
Labeled for Reuse, Press Release.
Taylor Roberson, Staff Writer
Disney+ is not only thriving off of their well-known princesses and adventurous films but their Christmas comedy film, Noelle, has had many people question the renowned image of Santa. The upbeat storyline is leaving people on the edge of their seat almost the entire movie; eager to find out if character Noelle, played by Anna Kendrick, daughter of Santa, has the special "Twinkle".
Most commonly, Santa is thought of as the big man with a snow-white beard, an entirely red suit, that carries a big red sack of presents on his back. In Disney's original film Noelle, they present the original Santa as the father of two children. Noelle Kringle was a little girl and her father Kris Kringle (Santa Claus) would arrive back to the North Pole every Christmas night to celebrate with his wife and children. Noelle's older brother, Nick, played by Bill Hader, is continuously reminded of his future as the one and only Santa Claus and how his training must begin. Noelle continues to give out her Christmas spirit support, while also making her famous Christmas cards. This being the only job her father assigned to her, she took on the best she could. Kris later passes away but right before Christmas, Nick has yet to master his training skills as the new Santa. Stressed out, Noelle secretly suggests a weekend vacation to relax Nick and he leaves the North Pole. Seven days later, the reindeer return to the North Pole, but without Nick.
When Noelle admits that she sent her brother to get away, all the elves in the North Pole turn on her for ruining Christmas. The council elves feel they have no choice but to go on and assign another Santa, Noelle's cousin Gabriel. Noelle decides enough is enough and searches for Nick in Phoenix, Arizona. After many adventures, Noelle managed to find Nick and bring him safely home. After having several encounters with humans in Arizona, the peers of Noelle started to realize that she was gifted with the "The Christmas Twinkle" that allows her to easily connect with people and figure out their Christmas desires.
This film represents the ups and downs of everyone's Christmas season extraordinarily. Representing the hard times as they should, and the joyful experiences cheerfully. Overall the dialogue kept you on your toes and always interested. The comedy portions could've been stronger, yet they weren't weak which is admirable. The plot was beautifully directed, Noelle is definitely a must-watch!

Is It Really Worth It?


There's more than one secret in the old Blackmoore house. Some have been buried for a long time and some are sitting closer to the surface.
This is a really light mystery with a bit of PG romance. I enjoyed it but there wasn't much to it. I like the sisters and how they all support each other, but I kind of felt like we didn't really know much about them or the other characters. On the one hand, that's good, we're not bogged own with a bunch or back story, but it left me with a few too many questions. I love the house and the shop and can see why the girls will do anything can not to lose it.
Oh, and there's a magical cat. There's a bit of a rumor around town that Balckmores may be witches, which they're not, at least they don't seem to be, but they do have this cat that has an uncanny way of being in just the right spot or finding just the thing they need. It's just a hint of paranormal.
The mystery is okay. We get the actual killer's name early, although the major clue is just kind of brushed aside. And of course, we have the amateur female detective putting her life in danger. Why is that par for the course in these type of cozy mysteries? The only one of the sisters who actually seems to have any investigative talent is left in the background until the end.
The romance was instant attraction, but not immediately trusting the guy. And, honestly, I can't blame Fiona for not trusting Jake. He's new in town, new to this particular police force and probably has some kind of secret in his background. But of course by the end they're a couple and a cute one at that.
Dead Wrong is currently a freebie for Kindle and I'm glad I picked it up. I may read more in the series, when I'm in the mood for a light quick read. I'm still curious what the sheriff has against the women and of course if Morgan will get back together with the love of her life who we learn at the end of this one might be back in town.
Leighann Dobbs is the pen name of a not so famous author who lives in New Hampshire with her husband, her trusty Chihuahua mix Mojo and her beautiful rescue cat, Kitty. She likes to write romance and cozy mystery short stories and novelettes perfect for the busy person on the go.
I saw you post this one FB earlier and I almost went to get it. Now I'm thinking I might as well.
I enjoyed it, but it's REALLY light. I might just have been in the right mood for it.
Sometimes really light is exactly what I need!

Sinchi Runa will be holding Ayahuasca Retreats and Kambo ceremonies in Europe from the beginning of 2019 until the end of summer 2019. If you wish to join us or know more about our location and what we will be offering, please write to us for more information.
At Sinchi Runa, we strongly feel that Ayahuasca and other plant entheogens while taken within a sincere and sacred context are among the greatest gifts humanity can receive at this moment in time. These sacraments have a unique ability to confront us with what is hidden within. They reveal to us the actual inner workings of our very existence and our place in the world. They help make us aware of our most vital and intimate inner and outer urgencies and how to better take care of them. They aid us in fighting ignorance and disconnection and in rediscovering our place in the movement of life and existence.
Suffering, destruction and the lack of meaning that can be seen throughout human society in truth comes from the disconnection from our understanding of love and of the natural belonging to life. Ayahuasca, while taken in a sacred context with genuine intention, meets us exactly where we are and opens our heart and path towards the remembrance of our essential essence and reason for being.
Our retreats are carefully and lovingly held by Peruvian shaman and spiritual teacher Sanango along with his assistants. Sanango has over 20 years of experience with inviting Ayahuasca and other Amazonian Master Plants. Before the creation of Sinchi Runa, he dedicated many years to learning with different masters in the Peruvian Amazon as well as prolonged retreats in solitude with master plants in what is traditionally called dietas or shamanic diets. During this time he created a deep bond with the spirit of Ayahuasca and other medicinal plants and divine deities which allows him to hold safe ceremonies and processes that lead to profound spiritual realization and soul healing.
Through our retreats we aim to create a safe and sacred space that allows each individual to experience profound healing and spiritual understanding. We do this with the hope that we may contribute to the healing of humanity as a whole and to a more peaceful world that is based on love, care, understanding and the genuine search for truth.
With much gratitude we share this invaluable medicine and sacred journey with all those who feel called to join.

Letter to the badgers: Thanks for everything
Dear Honeybadger Brigade,
Thank you for everything you've done. I've been trying to donate for the longest, but now that I've got some extra income, from tax returns and a bonus (which you bets believe Uncle Sam took his cut ¬_¬), I've decided to put a hand fill of shillings in the hat. I do this because I love listening to your content at work and I want you to grow and spread. You guys should definitely have more followers and a bigger platform. Too many men have been hurt in my life, and I can't really do that much to help them. So I want to support someone who will speak out on these issues. Here are just some of the things I'm talking about:
My co-worker's friend who got fired for getting in his wife's face after work. She said something that set him off. They were at home. He didn't touch her and he didn't get arrested. The police took him down to the station and let him go, but since he (and his wife) works at a hospital that doesn't allow you to be in trouble with the law he got fired. (FYI his wife was the person who called)My co-worker who has 2 children from different women and gets 50% of his paycheck taken away. Even though one of the women was his best friend for years, and he didn't think she would turn psycho after the kid and leave him.
My friend who, when he was feeling depressed and alone, came to me for advice because I'm kind of a loner. All I could tell him is to man up or conform because since he is a White Male no one is going to feel sorry for him.
My friend who can't go to Virginia because his jealousy-filled ex-girlfriend said he hit her to the cops, when all he did was leave her and went to live with me for a while so he could get his life together. When she felt regret for what she did, she went to drop the charges, but the state picked the charges up.
My friend who gets abused by his wife, and joined the Military to just get away from her for a while. Even though he is the only one who works, and even though he does most of the housework. He gets abused and stays because he believes he can't get anyone better.
My cousin whose stay at home wife decided to leave him with 4 children just because she wasn't happy.And last but not least my brother whose last 6 years, including his last year of high school, was robbed from him because of an assault with a weapon charge that never went to trial (no evidence and no one to testify), and his accomplice, a white middle-class girl, got off with 3 months in JV and her parents moved her to Florida. My Brother (we're a black working-class family BTW) who during this ordeal started to suffer from depression because if he wasn't in jail he was on house arrest.
My brother's ordeal really opened my eyes to how men get treated by the government. He was in jail for about 2 years (where he had to earn his GED) before we got enough money for his bail. You have a right to a speedy trial on the State's clock. His public defense attorney was telling him to plead out and do 6 years, and he would do this every time he would visit.
Needless to say we hired an outside attorney. After that, we got enough money for bail, but what we didn't know is that the bondsmen needs to be paid monthly, the tracking bracelet need to be paid monthly, and the attorney needs to be paid monthly. Then he tried to get a job and go to school with an ankle bracelet on, but no one would hire him or let him into their school. So the depression came.
My brother started to take prescription pills and drinking which brought about another charge. After a while, my brother cleaned himself up, but he was forced to go back to prison because he missed a court summons. The only reason he missed that court summons is because he had 2 court summons on the same day, and he thought it was a typo or something. To clarify: He went to the first court summons, but missed the second that was later in the evening. The State said, "Go directly to jail don't pass GO don't collect $200." The police also wanted to stick him with a Breaking and Entering charge as well. Luckily the B&E charge was dropped because low and behold no evidence, and he is getting out in a few months. He pleaded guilty and the judge is giving him time served on all counts. He can finally put this behind him, but he has another monster to slay.
The facility he is in puts them on constant lockdown because they are low staffed. My mother got worried because he didn't phone home in 3 weeks. The prison laundry staff lost his clothes and refused to replace it, and when my mother sent him a care box it took them a month to give it to him. FYI the prison is in the same state, so shipping didn't take that long. My brother told me most of the men in there are not violent at all. They are there for skipping child support or having drugs (mostly weed), and when my brother went to bed hungry because they barely feed them and the money we sent wasn't processed yet so he could buy food from the store. His cellmate, an older gentleman, shared his food with him.
I would just get frustrated to the point of tears sometimes when I was alone. I would just say fuck everything and everyone. I wouldn't even know why. I'm a pretty mellow guy. Since Gamergate opened up The Gates (for me anyway) and I started going down this rabbit hole. I don't cry or get frustrated anymore. Gamergate led to Christina Hoff Summers, Christina led to Karen, and Karen's twitter feed led me to everyone else. I found out about MGTOW and said, "I've been doing this shit for years." Thanks to my mom telling me to watch out because women will lie and trap me, and friends who have been broken far too much. Also, my slack-ass sister who has 2 kids from different fathers, blames everyone else for her problems, and still can't keep a nice place that is only charging her $25 a month. My Mom and Dad raised us all fairly equally. We have no idea why she turned out so different. Hopefully, someday she gets it together, but I digress.
I focused on improving myself and advancing in my job, but not enough for it to be a burden. So while SVU (I loved that show), news channels, and politicians tell me that I'm a loser neck beard, I look at my Computer Science Degree. I look at the 60lbs I lost. I look at the car I brought, and I remember that doctors are some of the biggest and entitled idiots I've met. (FYI: I do IT work at several hospitals and out-patient centers. Everything from fixing telephones and computers to maintaining the network) I ask myself. What part of me is a loser? The fact that I play games, watch anime, and read comics, or because I spend my free time and resources on my friends, immediate family, and mostly myself? Then I shake my head and realize it doesn't matter.
In closing, I will probably never find that light-skinned elven waifu with a slender body who is a little yandere, very protective, and can duel wield great swords, but I'll settle for the next best thing: a doge, a panda, and a brigade of honeybadgers. BADGER ON!
Overlord in training,
Blave Kaiser

I received this book when I won a contest and I had no idea until I started reading that it was part of a series. It took me a little bit to work out the world that Heather Long has created, but once I had my feet under me I really enjoyed the book.
The story's main romance is between Cody a wolf shifter and Mariska a gypsy girl. Cody is traveling west in his wolf form with Kid Kane as his riding partner. Both Kid and Cody are running from their pasts. Cody's wolf had decided that his adopted sister was to be their mate, but Scarlett ended up marrying someone else. Cody loves Scarlett as his sister, but his wolf half grieves. Kid is running from having to acknowledge his unique gifts and share this knowledge with his family. He has the ability to read emotion. It is not until they reach a fort high in the mountains of New Mexico that Cody is driven to shift into the man body because Kit has left him at camp and did not return from the trading fort when he said he would. After a little adventure there, he remains as a man.
Without their knowledge, Cody and Kit are being tracked by an angry revenge minded hunter who became their enemy from the first book. He plans to kill the wolf that bit him and the man who left him to burn in the fire.
Mariska is part of a small band of gypsies traveling west to make a new start by joining another stronger band. Her father wants her to marry the son of the other band's leader. She wants the right to choose. Their wagons are attacked by Apaches and it is Cody and Kid who rescue them. Cody saves Mariska from being taken by one of the braves. By the gypsy way, Mariska is now Cody's. She does not want to be his, but adversely she gets in a snit when the big blond blue-eyed stranger tells her grandmother that he doesn't want her. Later when her father returns, he offers the hospitality of the gypsy camp to Kid and Cody making it plain to Mariska that he plans to offer her to Cody.
Mariska panics and decides to drop some herbs into Cody and Kid's food so they will sleep and not give Cody the chance to claim her before their wagons continue west. Unfortunately, Cody doesn't drop off quickly enough and figures out what she did and her father is close enough to hear the accusation before Cody succumbs to the herbs. Due to her grievous breech of their laws, she is left tied to her wagon to be at the mercy of the two men when they wake up. She watches fearfully as Cody starts to wake and then is terrified when the man becomes a golden furred wolf who has anger and danger to her in his eyes.
The story becomes pretty exciting stuff from there so I won't spoil it for anyone.
This was my first historical western paranormal and it was awesome. I loved the world building. Cody, his adopted father and seven other adopted brothers and sister are all gifted in various ways because they survived what is known as the Fever. It is a mystical illness of sorts that generally decimates whole groups of people like the plague, but for those who survive it changes them. The Fevered are feared and must always be careful. From what I gathered, the first book is Scarlett, Cody's sister's story and she has the gift of wielding fire. I must go back and read that one then continue with the rest.
The plot was exciting both with the action and the steamy romance between the feisty Mariska and the alpha male Cody. The story is told from many points of view: the brothers back in Texas, the family at the mountain home, Kid, Cody, Ryker, and Mariska. I had to work a bit to follow the switches because I was reading an Advanced Copy of the book that still needed cleaning up. I liked keeping up with the many people in the story and adding the hunter, Ryker's voice just added tension. The best was having Cody and Mariska's take on their growing romance. They are both passionate people, but come from two different backgrounds causing them to size up the same situation or words very differently.
As I alluded to when talking about the plot, there are many wonderful characters and they were the best part of the story to me. I like the paranormal and historical aspects, but the people are what made me keep reading to find out what was going to happen next. The brothers are so loyal, but playful and loving. I liked Cody and Kid's camaraderie where they always had each other's backs. Mariska was like a flame to Cody's oil and together- whoosh!
This series has good potential with all those brothers still needing their stories told.

Hank and Karen Trenkamp of Batesville both know too well the challenges of fighting cancer. Karen, a 13-year breast cancer survivor, was by Hank's side when he was diagnosed with prostate cancer last summer. Fortunately, the couple was relieved to find out he could receive top-notch cancer care close to home. For Hank, that meant less time on the road and more time doing the things he loves … like working on the family farm and spending time with his six grandchildren.
Fighting cancer wasn't in the Trenkamps' life plans, but with the support of their faith, family and our cancer team, their future looks bright. We think that's pretty incredible!

The industrial production is heading towards its 4th revolution: after the invention of mechanical machines, assembly lines and the first programmable logic controllers, information and communication technologies are up-and-coming. Machines communicate with machines, things with things, and both of it with human beings, of course. We develop concepts, methods, tools and software/hardware solutions for design, planning, commissioning and secure operation of ICT-automated production. Besides, we work on autonomous robots for flexible manufacturing and assistance.
The experts have introduced the terms Industry 4.0 and "Integrated Industry" in place of the ICT-automated production of the next generation. The systems themselves are referred to as cyber physical systems. They arise from networking and interaction of resources among themselves as well as with human beings in their new role as participants of the semi-autonomous operating overall system. At the FZI, six work priorities are in the focus of the application area of automation and robotics: conception, development of architectures, security, mobile production robots, user support and knowledge-based diagnosis. In this process, we work closely with partners from the industry.
