 * Timer demonstration: This demo uses the advanced control timer Timer1 to do something
 * not very advanced at all. We set the timer to count up and down, basically it oscillates
 * between 0 and 5000 at 1Khz. Each time one of the limits is hit the system raises an
 * 'Update' interrupt. We handle this interrupt by toggling a LED on PF6. The net result
 * of this is that the LED flashes on and off for a second in each of those states.
 *
 * If you are running this on the STM32F4DISCOVERY board then you can replace all reference
 * to PF6 with PD13 to use the onboard LED on that board.
 *
 * If you are running this on the VL or F0 DISCOVERY boards then you can replace all reference
 * to PF6 with PC8 to use the onboard LED on that board.

36 Years of the LGBT Fight in México
In the last 36 years, the sexual diversity movement in Mexico has achieved significant advances that have made it possible for gay, lesbian, bisexual and trans (LGBT) citizens to gain access to some of the rights that historically had been denied to them.
Remembering Bryan Higgins, Promoting Religious Tolerance in Brooklyn + More
Community Unites to Remember Bryan Higgins More than 75 people came together at Bronson Park in downtown Kalamazoo, MI to remember the life of Bryan 'Feather Lynn' Higgins on Wednesday, Aug. 13. Higgins, a member of the LGBTQ community, was severely beaten in San Francisco, CA on Aug. 10. According to the Examiner, police said they are investigating the case as attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon. His death has yet to be declared as a hate crime. His family took him off of life support at San Francisco General Hospital at 3:33 p.m. Pacific time on Wednesday, while friends and gatherers in Kalamazoo released balloons into the sky at the same time, 6:33 p.m. Eastern time. To show support for each other and for the Higgins family, the community sang songs and wrote their fondest memories of Higgins in chalk on the ground. "I'm very angry, but I'm letting love take over the emotion right now because anger is not the answer," said Higgins' uncle, Steve Horton. "Anger leads to hatred, hatred leads to crime."
Swimming Beyond Racism, SC Stands Up for Gay Police Chief + More
Swimming Beyond Racism A dedicated swimmer is back in the pool after being the victim of a hate crime five months ago, according to ABC 7 News. Omid, a 15-year-old middle school student from Chicago, heard the words "Hey Persian," before he was violently attacked by one of his peers. The attacker broke Omid's collarbone on both sides. Omid worried that he would ever be able to swim again. But, as he recovered, he received a visit from Olympic swimmer B.J. Johnson. The visit gave Omid the confidence to continue doing what he loved. Along with Johnson, community members came together to support his family. "We have all this outpouring of support...that's what's really helped," said Omid's mother, Melissa Babakhani. "We're just going to focus on the good." Although he still feels physical and emotional pain from the incident, Omid is swimming once again. "It affected me, but I am strong enough to get over it," he said. Read the full story here.
Support Sasha: Send Messages to Teen Set on Fire on Public Bus
Overwhelming support has poured in for Luke "Sasha" Fleischman, an agender high school student who was set on fire Monday night on an Oakland, CA bus. Police arrested a 16-year-old Oakland student for the immolation, and announced on Thursday that he will be charged as an adult for a hate crime. Sasha was wearing a skirt at the time of the attack, which friends and family fear may have been the reason Sasha was targeted. The teenage attacker later admitted that he did it because he was "homophobic," according to lead police investigator Anwawn Jones. Sasha is currently a high school senior in Berkeley, CA. In less than a day after the attack, supporters came forward to help Sasha, who sustained third-degree burns and will require massive skin grafting. Update Nov. 14: Show Your Support in Oakland Not In Our Town and Not In Our School will be joining the Rainbow Road march today at 5:30 p.m. We invite all to come forward and support a safe and inclusive community for all.

Yesterday, I posted the first part of a reply to Chris Daniel, Executive Director of the Richmond Center for Christian Study, who wrote an article titled The Origin of Life: Darwinism vs. Design. Here is part 2.
Chris, you are right to attack Darwinism as a philosophy or worldview; just like it is also appropriate to attack humanism, hedonism, racism, sexism, bibliolatry, and "systematic theology-ism". Any system that builds its existence and definition around a created thing rather than the Person of God Himself ought to be attacked and shown to be the inadequate system it is.
But just because those "isms" above shouldn't define our worldviews, it does't mean that there isn't truth and goodness even in the the things they are tempted to define themselves by: humanity has worth, pleasure is good, races are beautiful, genders are different, the Bible is the primary revelation of God (we are not a people of the Book, but a people of the Word that is testified to by the Book), and systematic theology can be helpful as we interpret and apply the Scriptures.
And Darwinism as a philosophy is an improper elevation of a seemingly true process.
Just because something can have an explanation that involves an "intelligent designer" doesn't mean that it must. Yes, common descent features can be evidence of an intelligent agent doing an act of special creation, but when the evolutionary mechanisms that seem to have brought these features about have such clear and comprehensive explanatory force, why must we import this intelligence requirement? And when a fellow brother in Christ, Francis Collins, offers a very sensitive explanation of this, you play with his semantics and default to this whole "burden of proof" thing rather than really engaging with the facts.
Also, Evolutionary biology has been able to observe–in the present–mutations occur that both add to genetic information and are helpful to the organism. More here, here, and here.
Irreducible Complexity: This common argument has been adequately addressed by contemporary scientific findings. Read this, this, and this.
Biological Information: as far as DNA "information" goes, not only has science demonstrated how evolution could account for an increase in information in the DNA (see above), but even if they hadn't, theistic views of the evolutionary process could easily account for such information.
The ideas in your article seem to represent certain modernistic philosophical commitments and preconceptions influencing what you think is theologically necessary. Arguing for intelligent design does not represent some neutral and objective "commitment" to Scripture. Inherent in the words of your article is the Enlightenment philosophical (not theological) idea that the "scientific" and the "historical" represent "truth" most "truly"; and so, when the Bible says something is "true", the western "Enlightened" mind most naturally thinks that it must be referring to some scientific or historical item.
And so Christians fight and twist philosophy, logic, and theology to this end. But in the end, this is modernist philosophy and not a holistic and beautiful Biblically-informed view that takes things like story, poetry, and art seriously. It is a "Christian" version of secularism and materialism saying that, in the end, only "science" ultimately determines reality and truth, and so we must fight for "our version" of it.
The ideas in your article, when boiled down, are simply yelling at Darwinists that their unbiblical philosophical commitments aren't as good as your unbiblical philosophical commitments (by "unbiblical", I don't mean "anti-biblical", just not "derived from the Bible").
In all of this, I'm not saying that there aren't facts–that there aren't real things we can know and seek. I'm just saying that none of those were dealt with this in your article. Irreducible Complexity was a compelling argument 15 years ago when Behe first wrote about it. Scientists heard the criticism, felt its force and legitimacy, and tested it. They've since been able to demonstrate how seemingly "irreducibly complex" mechanisms could in fact have evolved. And yet some Christians just keeping sticking to the same old tired lines of arguments that were good over a decade ago.
Chris (if you even read this), I really do love you as a dear brother. I remember the ways that our campus ministries crossed paths and how much respect I always had for you. Looking over this response, I see I used a lot of "you" statements, some sarcasm, and some superlative adjectives to talk of my disagreements. Forgive me. This has become a topic of a little more importance to me than it probably should, I feel, and I can at times be somewhat graceless.
In the end, though, my frustration over writings and thinking like this is because of my respect for you. I know you are a brilliant man that could do so much to bridge this divide and break the unnecessary cycles that have so entangled the Church, and your article doesn't do that, I fear.
I fear that it harms the church to make this "Darwinism vs. Design" argument such a central feature of what it means to do essentially "Christian" study at a Christian Study Center. Would you ever allow a lecture to be presented at the Richmond Center for Christian Study by someone from the BioLogos foundation (or something similar) about how Reformed thought can exist peacefully with evolutionary biology (or something of the like)? If not, what does that say about the primacy of this topic in your mind, the ecumenism you have towards your fellow brothers and sisters, and the image in whom this Center is being formed?
I would encourage you to check out the book Perspectives on an Evolving Creation. It changed my perspective and is hands-down one of the most influential books I've ever read in my life. It's more academic and substantive than The Language of God and answers even more of the criticisms you have expressed toward evolution. But it's also such a testament to the beauty of the work of God in an "evolving creation"–there were even times I was crying, even when reading about fossil records of the Pre-Cambrian explosion. Seriously.
And in the end, there is good news in this for us. Inviting these findings of science (in my experience) has only increased my worship in God and rest in his Gospel. Evolution speaks to a God that does not merely incarnate himself into humanity, but incarnates himself into a world that had evolved to that point in history. And so, when our Christ dies and is raised, he is not only redeeming humanity, but he is purchasing the redemption of the entire cosmos whose entire evolutionary history resides in his physical body in those moments. That is cause for worship, not doubt or some "culture war" mindset.
I hope it goes well with you, Chris. I love you as my brother, I enjoy getting your emails and hearing of your events, and I pray that you are continually equipped to serve those that God has put into your tender, humble care. May the peace of God come upon us and may His grace be with us as we continue in our lives to talk of this topic to others.
You did an excellent job on these two posts, Paul. Accurate information, but more graciously said than I would've done. I lose patience very quickly with Christians perpetuating ignorance by recirculating the same old well-refuted "arguments" amongst themselves.
Once again, great job on these posts, Paul. You bring accuracy and clarity, but manage to do so very graciously, with concern for an old friend and mentor.
Have you posted a link to these posts in the comments of his original post?

"My wife complains that sex is no longer pleasurable" FGM cases on radio highlight the issues FGM survivors face
Post category:English / The Gambia
By Sarjo Camara,
Radio talk show highlights the problems married women face after undergoing FGM.
Radio talk:
It was a radio talk show where I invited youth, Parents, and a news editor to discuss issues around the Day of the African Child with a focus on issues affecting proper care of children including right violations and child labour, FGM, and proper parenting of children.
Success:
It was very successful to the extent that some parents confessed that children should not be used as breadwinners, and their rights should not be violated, especially the right to education.
"Children should not be used as beggars" a male parent
"We should stop cutting girls," says a listener.
" Cutting girls causes a lot of marital problems, I am facing such in my marriage" anonymous caller
Difficulties:
The difficulties I encountered were some of the panelists changed their minds at the eleventh (1) hour. I had to get replacements 2 hours to the panel discussion, luckily I was able to get very good replacements
Strong messages positive and negative:
At some point in my first programme a man called to express his disapproval of our programme because we are unveiling the secret of women.
"Is there no shame women sit in the open to disclose their sexuality?" in Mandingo language.
Unexpected wins:
A big win was I had more callers who were men. A guy called from FONI, a constituency in the West Coast Region, to express his gratitude. He asked us to keep up the job and spread the information as still, some are in denial.
Another man called and told the operator to receive him off the air. He confessed to me that FGM is harmful, he is going through a lot with his wife, the wife always complains that she never had enjoyable sex with him. For him, he is going through the same problem, but he has no money to go for another wife.
People were willing to speak out even though it was on the radio. People who were on the panel both spoke on the subject as people who have experience and knowledge.
This shows a high commitment to end all sorts of abuses and rights violations to end.
Next time…
What I would do differently is to get health workers, survivors, population experts or communicators, journalists, or a lawyer.

INICIO // English // Mexican Students use aquaponics to produce biofuel
The Jatropha is a very common plant in Mexico – Photo: File Photo: EL UNIVERSAL
Mexican Students use aquaponics to produce biofuel
The UVM and the Private University of Northern Peru teamed up to create biodiesel using aquaponics
Students from the University of the Valley of Mexico (UVM) and the Private University of Northern Peru use aquaponics, a sustainable system that uses plants and fish to produce biofuel.
Aquaponics consists of feeding fish, which generates waste, which is full of nutrients, and it reaches the plants through a pump that feeds the plants; by taking these nutrients, the plants clean the water and return it to the fish. This system is used, mainly, in the production of edible plants.
In a statement, the UVM reported that the students are majoring in Environmental Engineering, at the San Rafael campus, as well as in the Peruvian university.

— Prensa UVM (@prensaUVM) September 11, 2018
Jorge Ojeda, the academic leading the project, explained that they used the Jatropha plant for the production of biofuel, which grows in Mexico, and it's easy to use and adapts to different climates; its seed contains about 40% of oil, and when extracted, it can be turned into biodiesel.
The project is also looking to promote sustainable fish farming through the use of a bioreactor, which can be used as a degradation system for organic matter, from fish and food waste, therefore, benefiting the environment, since "it is a system of biological degradation, which can break down fertilizers, organic matter, and pesticides".

I remember being in law school and wondering if I was really about to sign up for a stress-induced career of billable hours and long nights. After much introspection, I realized I was not cut-out for a career of constant pressure and stress. Could I figure out how to handle it? Sure, but why would I want to volunteer for that? In 2012, with my Diabetes diagnosis, I experienced real stress for the first time, and that stress manifest itself into anxiety. I started putting things into two categories - things I can control and things I cannot. With the things I could control, I exhibited the utmost diligence. I could control my diet, exercise and education about Diabetes. I couldn't control the fact that insulin made me gain 5 pounds (whereas being sick made it easy to keep weight off). I couldn't control the feelings of panic I got when woke up with low blood sugar. Stress affects everything, and I am learning that it can be put in the category of things I can control. Most days, anyway.
Education - There is nothing more empowering to me than learning about my stressors. Does trying to get my to-do list done at work stress me out? YES, so I have been doing a lot of research on work day productivity and time management. I can always improve and learn new tips and tricks. When I was diagnosed, I read everything about Diabetes I possibly could. I find comfort in facts and find anxiety when I let my mind wander.
Exercise - I need to make more time for it, but it relieves stress by allowing me to expend energy physically as well as mentally. I do a lot of thinking when I run, and I make sure my mind stays on the positive things I have accomplished and hope to accomplish.
Getting outside - Being outside reminds me that the world is far bigger than my stress, my worklife and well, me. I spend a lot of time on my porch with my iPad. It provides a little bit of perspective and a lot prettier backdrop than Netflix.
Yoga - How cliché, right? I've never met someone who does yoga who also seems high-strung. Plus, unlike running, I think it forces you to be introspective and develop quiet strength.
Unplugging - I am a technology junky. I usually have at least two Apple devices around me at all times. Relentlessly, I check e-mails. Each morning, I check e-mails, weather, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest. I am an information maniac, and I think it can overstimulate sometimes. Sincerely, it is almost like I have forgotten how to sit down and watch a movie.
Stress is bad. We all know it. It can cause a whole host of health problems. It makes weight loss difficult. It makes managing Diabetes difficult. It can make pregnancies difficult. It strains relationships. It sabotages sleep.
Let's help each other discover new ways to keep stress at bay - or, if it does creep in, how to manage it the best we can.
I have the same problem! In law school I read the book Crazy Love by Francis Chan. The book is about how big God is and it really helps put everything in perspective. When I start going down the stress path, I really try to step back and remind myself that God is really in control. I trust him a lot more than myself!

Q: Does the set of permutations of an empty set contain an empty set? So the set of permutations for $\{x, y\}$ is $\{(x, y), (y, x)\}$. However, if I would try to make a set of permutations of an empty set $∅$, would the permutation set be $∅$ or $\{∅\}$?

A: There is exactly one permutation of $\emptyset$, which is $\emptyset$. Therefore, the set of all permutations is not $\emptyset$; it's $\{\emptyset\}$.

Pharmacological actions of the slow release hydrogen sulfide donor GYY4137 on phenylephrine-induced tone in isolated bovine ciliary artery
Madhura Kulkarni Chitnis, Ya Fatou Njie-Mbye, Catherine A. Opere, Mark E. Wood, Matthew Whiteman, Sunny E. Ohia
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), a colorless gas characterized by its pungent odor of rotten eggs has been reported to elicit relaxation effects on basal and pre-contracted non-ocular smooth muscles of several mammalian species. In the present study, we investigated the pharmacological actions of a H2S donor, GYY4137 on isolated bovine posterior ciliary artery after contraction with the adrenergic receptor agonist, phenylephrine. Furthermore, we studied the underlying mechanism of inhibitory action of GYY4137 on the posterior ciliary arteries. Isolated bovine posterior ciliary arteries were mounted in oxygenated organ baths and changes in isometric tension were measured with a Grass FT03 transducer connected to a recorder using a Grass Polyview Software. The relaxant actions of GYY4137 on phenylephrine pre-contracted arteries were observed in the absence and presence of an inhibitor of cyclo-oxygenase, flurbiprofen. Furthermore, the inhibitory effects of GYY4137 were studied in the absence or presence of inhibitors/activators of biosynthetic enzymes for H2S and nitric oxide production, as well as specific ion channel blockers. In the concentration range, 100nM to 100μM, GYY4137 elicited a concentration-dependant relaxation of phenylephrine-induced tone in isolated posterior ciliary arteries, with IC50 value of 13.4±1.9μM (n=6). The cyclo-oxygenase inhibitor, flurbiprofen, significantly (p50 value of 0.13±0.08μM (n=6). Both the inhibitors of cystathionine β-synthase (aminooxyacetic acid, AOAA, 30μM) and cystathionine γ-lyase (propargylglycine, PAG, 1mM) caused significant (pATP channel antagonist, glibenclamide (100μM) significantly (p2S. Furthermore, the observed vascular smooth muscle relaxation induced by GYY4137 is mediated, at least in part, by KATP channels.

Emmas Ringer – "Hong Kong" [Free Song Download]
By Aaron Willschick 03/09/2015
Ottawa, Ontario alternative rock trio Emmas Ringer are seriously delivering on this free song download for "Hong Kong." The song is from their latest record Generations, made up of 11 tracks that pull from influences across a number of rock sub-genres. This record wasn't just slapped together in two days, it is the product of a lot of hard work and two separate recording sessions that occurred in Toronto over the course of two years.
Emmas Ringer was originally founded in the early 2000s, before reforming as a two-piece in 2011, consisting of Scott Maybee on vocals and guitar, and Scott McCooeye on keyboards (Lennon and McCartney, Maybee and McCooeye. I'd say it works). The band officially recruited drummer Owen Coffin the following year (no word on whether he was actually found inside of a coffin). The music is inspired by '90s alternative rock which is really the best rock there is so what are you waiting for? Check it out!

(1/1) Jo-Mei, Sea of Solitude, teaser trailer, film stills, published by Electronic Arts
Interview with Cornelia Geppert, CEO and Creative Director at Jo-Mei Games
Text: Susanne Heinlein
In the industrialised world, social isolation is regarded as a mass phenomenon, as a widespread ill, and as the source of diverse mental and (by consequence) physical ailments. With regard to young age groups in particular, digital games and apps are often accused of fostering social isolation and thus loneliness.
On the other hand, it is digital media who are now addressing this often taboo topic in a range of ways: in terms of style, as a storytelling element or as a problem to be solved. We look at this phenomenon in detail in form 280.
We also talked to Cornelia Geppert, CEO and Creative Director of Jo-Mei Games. Loneliness plays an important role in Sea of Solitude, the latest title produced by this Berlin-based studio, which will be released by Publisher Electronic Arts in early 2019.
How is loneliness and silence used as a style element in digital games?
Modern game design makes use of loneliness and silence first and foremost as a stylistic feature to create an atmosphere that serves the basic idea behind the game's concept. In order to have a complete effect, both elements need to be introduced and used skilfully and at the right rate. We see loneliness more as a stylistic device that can heighten the dimensions of a game world and bring it closer to the player. The relationships between narrow and spacious areas, momentum or stillness in a world where the player operates creates tensions that are great for creating memorable and inspiring gaming experiences. For example, you can create a sense of loneliness by initially providing the player with companions and then removing them just when you've got them really close in terms of the story game mechanics. It has a strong effect on the player's sense of loneliness. Especially in Sea Of Solitude, players find themselves in situations where they are crossing a vast ocean alone in a small boat. Whether players experience this being alone as positive or negative depends on their own personalities. You can use music to intensify or soften the emotions the game evokes or provokes according to what's appropriate for a given situation in the game.
Silence, on the other hand, is a tool we use in audio design of game titles in a similar way to the movies; it is one of the strongest tools we have to create a sense of tension. The skilful use of silence at the right moment in the right place in the game always has the potential to create or underscore a memorable, highly emotional game situation.
How does (the fight against) loneliness become the central theme of the story and how does the player engage with it?
Sea of Solitude is essentially a story about humanity. Kay, our protagonist, is a young woman sunk in loneliness and inner emptiness – analogous to the sunken game world where we let the player loose. Kay's loneliness is so strong that the darkness she carries within turns outward and turns her into a monster. The game begins at the moment when she decides to change her situation. In doing so, she finds that she is far from alone. Other "monsters", each with their own histories and individual reasons for their loneliness also populate the game world. In the course of the game, Kay tries to help herself, and also to help others become human again. In the process, empathy and self-reflection emerge as her most important qualities and she gains important insights into how loneliness comes about, things she can apply to her own situation. Ultimately, this journey helps her to overcome her own personal ocean of loneliness.
How can games help with loneliness in everyday life?
Games can help partly thanks to the nature of the medium: games are usually made to be played together with others. The most famous and most popular games worldwide are games that you play together with others, be they co-operative or competitive. My first experiences with computer games were with friends: it was all about gathering around a computer to work out the game's puzzles and challenges. Today, players can connect with each other around the world, greatly increasing their circle of friends. Meetings in "real" life then take place for the first time at game-specific events, and often lead to deep friendships. Even so-called single-player games stimulate co-operation, as many people share the hobby of gaming and you can open up new circles of friends. One of the newest additions to gaming is augmented reality, for example. This means that you can use smartphone games to see virtual things in the real world using the phone camera and interact with friends and strangers who are also currently playing the same game. So in recent years, many players who previously sat alone in front of their home computer can now make new friends simply by playing.
Games reach viewers on many different levels. Interactivity requires constant participation and thinking, turning the game itself into a very emotional experience. The player is very involved in the event – and importantly, for a very long time – much more so than is the case with a movie. Active participation in a game also brings with it feelings of achievement or of having made a difference to something – these are also a strong features of games. Add a component such as collaborative gaming and games can help combat loneliness. Games have always opened up worlds that consumers can explore, discover or conquer. This is no different today than it was in the 1980s. However, thanks to technological advances, today's players have opportunities for collaboration and interaction that allow them to meet people on levels that seemed unthinkable a few years ago.


Medical residents across Canada know exactly what they can make—and what their peers are making.
Salaries are set out by collective agreements between provincial resident associations and academic health organizations, and so among the same-year, same-province residents, there's no variation and no room for negotiation.
But once you move into practice, this level playing field soon changes. Your income will depend not only on your specialty, location and practice position but also on your negotiating skills.
Most people find negotiating their salary uncomfortable. Physicians, in particular, may not want to be seen as choosing medicine for the financial rewards. However, negotiating the best possible income and service obligations in your first practice position will serve as a sound foundation for the future. Keep in mind that your raises will be based on this starting income and the terms you accept will be factored in to negotiations for new jobs down the road.
From a financial perspective, a higher starting salary can make a huge difference to your net worth later. The more money you can save and invest—and the longer your time horizon—the greater the effect of compound growth.
Before you start pursuing practice opportunities, take time to create a mindset that will help your salary negotiations go more smoothly. Here are three critical aspects to tackle.
What makes some people better negotiators than others? Are they smarter, less emotional or more confident? These are all good theories but here's the real difference: the best negotiators are willing to be uncomfortable for longer.
Most people find the negotiation process and discussions about salary and remuneration so uncomfortable that they want to avoid the exercise or get it over with as quickly as possible. But if you learn to manage your discomfort, you'll be able to take your negotiations farther, for a more satisfying end result.
Medical residents—after years of medical school and training and having, in many cases, served in a support role—often undervalue their abilities and assets.
But today's residents have more specialized skills than any previous generation of physicians. They are already making a significant contribution to patients' health care.
Think about the value you would bring to any potential practice opportunity. Then make a list of the specific ways you would contribute. Review that list regularly.
Any offer that you receive should recognize your value. Settling for an agreement that's less than favourable could be costly both personally and professionally.
Before you start investigating practice options, think about your priorities: what are your lifestyle desires, career goals and objectives, and workload and remuneration ideals?
Investigate both the monetary and non-monetary benefits that might be available. You should also learn about your negotiating partners and the specifics of the opportunity you're considering—such as the likely number of applicants for the position, the specific professional needs of the group or institution, and the positive and negative attributes of the practice.
Doing your homework this way will give you an informed and objective perspective with which to negotiate and evaluate offers.
Other dynamics that will put you in the best position include always being professional and courteous. Also, before you sign any agreement, have your lawyer review the draft contract to make sure all of the terms and conditions you have negotiated are properly documented.
Having the appropriate mindset will serve you well as you negotiate your first salary and embark on your career and your future in general.

The following is a typical weekend style workshop.
Friday night is the didactic portion of the workshop. We will start with introductions. The entire process will be covered in detail, questions answered, concerns and fears addressed so that you each leave excited and "ready" to explore new territory on Saturday.
The work is done with a partner and we'll figure that out Friday night. We will discuss what you need to bring, what you need to wear, what your role is sitting for your partner, what you might encounter in a breathwork session, what kinds of experiences people have. We will also talk about Grof's studies and how the work has evolved. As I said, Friday night is the "information" session. Payment for the workshop should be taken care of Friday night .
It is ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY that all participants remain for the duration of the workshop, from 9 AM to 9 PM in the evening. This is for your own benefit as well as the group's benefit. Please arrive at least a few minutes early.
Saturday is all experiential. We will start right away with one partner breathing from 9 - 12 noon. There will be mandala drawing and vegetarian lunch provided. The other partner session will begin at 1:30 and end at 4:30. There will be drawing and some more food time. Sharing will start at 5:30 and run until 8:30 is my guess - more or less depending on the group. That is brief outline of our time. More will be forthcoming on Friday night.


Check it out. The boys definitely look like they are having a blast. I'm not too sure if the girls in the background are fans, staff or what. Not that it matters.
That's too bad that the concert got cancelled 😦 It would be nice to see them play live. I like their covers and their originals, but I think the problem with their originals is that they do pretty much sound the same… it's like with some idol groups, you definitely know it's them because their songs (while not identical) all have a similar sound which can be both good and bad.


One Person can only do so much!
Giving Circles or Fundraising as a Team is an exciting alternative to individual donations, offering our supporters and their friends the opportunity to raise funds together with BTF, while having fun and spreading the word to others.
Giving Circle members pool their charitable dollars into a tax deductible fund with BTF, and decide as a group which projects and programs to support. BTF's Giving Circles vary in structure, size and charitable focus. Some giving circles are very informal, nothing more than a group of friends who meet in each others' homes to discuss and decide on where their funds will go. Other giving circles have many members that comprise a regional community.
Your leadership will make a difference!

Hoy es fiesta es una obra de teatro de Antonio Buero Vallejo, estrenada en el Teatro María Guerrero de Madrid el 20 de septiembre de 1956. No figura entre las más populares del dramaturgo alcarreño. En cierto modo, es una vuelta a los temas vistos en la pieza de 1947-48 Historia de una escalera (la falsedad, la esperanza, la pobreza y el guardar las apariencias) y en un ambiente muy similar, hasta como escenografía.

Argumento

La obra refleja la convivencia en una casa de vecinos de un barrio humilde madrileño: sus esperanzas y frustraciones, sus recuerdos, sus problemas y sus temores.

Frente a la feroz oposición de la portera, los vecinos encuentran la oportunidad para acudir y disfrutar de la azotea un día de fiesta que no se especifica (se mencionan "colgaduras en balcones", Nati dice que la fiesta no es "de guardar" y Silverio, que es "fiesta nueva, pero con media jornada de trabajo, partido internacional y lotería extraordinaria").

La invasión de la azotea la perciben como una primera señal de que algo puede cambiar y sus expectativas crecen con la predicción de Doña Nieves, la pitonisa que habita una de las viviendas, y que presiente que todos los vecinos pueden ser agraciados en el sorteo de lotería que se celebra esa misma tarde. En efecto, todos los vecinos juegan participaciones del billete custodiado por Doña Balbina, una señorona empobrecida de la que todo el mundo se mofa por su cursilería absurda en un barrio pobre, y que ha vendido fracciones a toda la casa. Hay un convencimiento general de que esta vez tocará y saldrán de pobres.

En efecto, el diario vespertino trae como premiado con el gordo el número que juegan con doña Balbina. Se desata la euforia... pero su hija Daniela finalmente confiesa que el billete es falso, que es de otro sorteo, que en suma, las participaciones son falsas, pues necesitaban el dinero para salir adelante. Los vecinos se enfurecen y, capitaneados por Sabas, agreden brutalmente a doña Balbina, pero Silverio logra contenerles y convencerles para que no la denuncien.

Doña Balbina reprocha agriamente a su hija lo que ha hecho y Daniela intenta suicidarse. Silverio vuelve a evitar la desgracia ajena. Pero Pilar -esposa de Silverio-, que en la trifulca se llevó un golpe de Sabas, fallece momentos después...

Personajes
 Nati, la portera. Somete por puro capricho a los vecinos a la imposición de no utilizar la azotea. Seca y arisca.
 Doña Nieves, echadora de cartas. Egoísta, trafullera y colérica.
 Remedios, su asistenta. Es la desdichada víctima de las iras de doña Nieves.
 Sabas, hijo mayor de Tomasa. Una mala bestia, bruto y agresivo. Mal carácter, fortaleza física, y escasos sentido de la honradez.
 Paco, amiguete de Sabas y de lo ajeno. Se apoya en Sabas para sus manejos y chanchullos.
 Tomasa, madre de Fidel y Sabas. Agresiva, dominante, odia a Nati y se sirve de su hijo mayor como arma agresiva.
 Manola, amiga de Tomasa, le sigue el juego en todo lo que puede.
 Fidel, hijo menor de Tomasa, opositor fracasado, aspirante al amor de una hermosa vecina, Teresa, que se debe conformar con Daniela.
 Daniela, hija de doña Balbina. Debe soportar tremendos bochornos por las ganas de aparentar de su madre.
 Tere, vecina (no interviene en la obra). Muy guapa, es el objeto de deseo de Fidel.
 Doña Balbina, madre de Daniela. Señorona cursi, venida a menos, que vive de las apariencias y del gorroneo en fiestas y celebraciones.
 Silverio, marido de Pilar, un buen tipo que se autocastiga con la muerte de una hija de Pilar, su esposa, muerte que no pudo evitar (o no quiso, por ser la niña fruto de una violación.) Personaje típicamente "bueriano": calidad humana unida al sufrimiento
 Cristóbal, marido de Tomasa, bruto, pero con cierto sentido de la decencia, que está harto de su mujer y sus hijos.
 Elías, amigo de Silverio, siempre soñando con sus felices mocedades, tiempos mejores que no volverán.
 Pilar, esposa de Silverio. Padece de una sordera sobrevenida por la muerte de su hija. También es habitual en esta obra la presencia de un personaje aislado del resto por una tara física.

Diablo III (PC): Inside The 2.0.1 Patch
By: Paul Lawford | PC Features | March 2, 2014
Big changes are coming to Diablo III. The new Reaper of Souls expansion lands on March 25th, and the much-loathed Real Money Auction House shuts down on March 18th, but before then the patch 2.0.1 rolls out so we play through and see how the changes affect the Diablo world.
Patch 2.0.1 includes a massively updated Loot system dubbed 2.0 which promises better and more applicable gear for your characters. Nephalem Glory, which has been seen in the console version of the game, has also been added to the PC version. For those on the PC version who have yet to venture in Diablo III on the console, vanquished monsters may leave behind power globes that are golden-colored infusions of energy that you can pick up by moving near them. Picking up a power globe triggers a burst of energy that strikes nearby enemies for a percentage of your damage, and also grants you and nearby allies the Nephalem Glory buff. Nephalem Glory lasts only 60 seconds, after which a secondary damaging energy burst will also be triggered.
There are a huge number of changes added in Patch 2.0.1 including new stats: Toughness, Healing, Splash Damage, Cooldown Reduction, and Resource Cost Reduction. Experience-boosting Pools of Reflection are also a new feature among a huge host of changes.
Crafting has been completely overhauled giving the player a lot more to choose from in regards to crafting gear which shows the impetuous on crafting now that the auction house will be coming to a close on release of the upcoming Reaper of Souls expansion. Character skills rebalanced, bosses tinkered with, and new events are also here in the latest patch.
Perhaps a strange move from Blizzard is the removal or more aptly renamed difficulty modes. Gone are Nightmare, Hell, and Inferno which you have been so used to as you level through the game well, we now have Normal, Hard, Expert, Master, and Torment. Difficulty settings can be changed at any time now as well, though a restart is required.
Clans and communities have also been included in the patch, while item trade options have been limited and gold trading removed. With clans and communities, Blizzard explains that they are providing players with easy and practical tools for finding and communicating with like-minded individuals who share a passion for demon slaying, loot hunting, experience farming, as well as other interests. Think of it like a guild in any MMO you have played.
The update also added communities which are designed to be a place where players can come together for any number of reasons, including playing the same class, frequenting the same fan sites, or living in the same geographical area. They're all about fostering relationships between like-minded people, with a keen focus on socialization. Unlike clans, communities are intended to be much larger and more casual. They can be public or private, for example, and support a nearly unlimited number of members. In addition, while you can only join a single clan, you can be a member of multiple different communities at the same time.
There will be further additions like a heightened level cap (60-70) and a new class coming in the Reaper of Souls expansion, but until then it is just nice to feel something fresh from Diablo III, which for me had become rather repetitive and stagnant the past six months. The removal of the auction house could be a big turning point for Blizzard and with a new class, level changes, a new chapter and much more, Reaper of Souls could once again push Diablo III to the top of the PC gaming charts. Well, we have 2.0.1 to play though for now, so get involved and let us know what you think of the changes before the expansion's launch.

I'm a lifelong gamer and share my passion with the world in the form of streaming my games on twitch.tv - www.twitch.tv/terrorhertz and making YouTube videos about all the games I enjoy. I'm also a budding games journalist here :)
My gaming journey began in the Christmas 1992 when aged 6, I got my Sega Mega Drive with Sonic One and World Cup Italia 90. Since then I have played and own pretty much every console since then, just check my collection video on my YouTube channel.
Now days I mainly play PC games and got into the PC side of things when I started playing Everquest in 2005. This game opened my eyes to the mmorpg genre and since then have played most MMO's of which World of Warcraft was my most played. Right now I'm playing and streaming DayZ and FIFA with a few other games thrown in here and there. I'm a games journalist and write weekly articles and monthly reviews and previews whilst also uploading 3+ videos weekly to my YouTube channel where you can find loads of awesome HD gaming videos - www.youtube.com/terrorhertzhd
I've worked as a hardware/software technician for Apple the past 4 years and really enjoy working with computers. I have built/modded/overclocked PC's since around 2007 and it's a massive interest of mine. My other hobbies include video editing, carp fishing, golf and playing guitar.


Sometimes difficult to distinguish from being Stoic, but boils down to suppressing feelings; always has comebacks (in a fit of anger or a heart condition).
Emptiness. Banishing all feelings, even pleasant ones such as joy, love, engagement and interest, which do not lead to passivity or foolish behaviour. There is nothing wrong with feeling (a consequence of thinking) as long as you do not let yourself be carried away by feelings.
Aiming for nothing. 'It makes no difference after all, you can always be happy.' Devoting myself to everything that is good is, according to the Stoics, the most important thing I can do.
Or rather (in order to avoid making the word 'rational' appear bad): inventing excuses, smooth talking, explaining away feelings. None of this is belongs to Stoicism!
The Early Stoics were very politically engaged. It is known of Zeno and Chrysippus that they both wrote a Politeia ('Republic'). The Roman Stoics were also socially engaged; that is quite clear. They had a cosmopolitan attitude and saw all people as of equal standing, which was quite exceptional in antiquity.
'The world is beautiful, people are nice, everything turns out well.' No, it doesn't. A Stoic attitude does not mean that I think that everything will turn out well or be better than expected. But it does mean that I maintain the idea: whatever happens, I can make something pleasant/good out of it through thought and action.
Being Stoic is an active attitude to life. Sensibly facing what happens is something different to letting everything happen to me and putting my own will to sleep.
Saying: 'it is OK really, the neighbour is worse off than me' is merely resigning to 'fate' and has little to do with Stoicism. Leaning on someone else's (even worse) fate is, I think, in any case rather questionable. I would consider it a genuine Stoic attitude if in this situation I actively tried to make the best of it, trying to improve my situation and that of others, and doing so without anger, pessimism or bitterness. Possibly together with the neighbour.
Never reacting enthusiastically to anything, never laughing enthusiastically, putting a brake on all you say: that too is a pitfall. There is nothing wrong with laughing or enthusiasm, or other positive expressions. And for something like anger it is not about avoiding saying particular things in order to swallow my anger, it is about really not thinking about those things. Not because being angry is impolite (think of Zeno, the half-Cynic), but because the ideas behind that behaviour are philosophically incorrect and because I make myself unhappy that way.
Actually, most adults act as if they are Stoic/sensible, while that is totally not the case. And this fake Stoic attitude is precisely what causes so many problems.
Seeing beyond the horizon of 'me', 'here' and 'now' is something you have to learn. Many adults still react in particular situations in the way they did when they were children, at least partly (and for the clumsiest part at that). But they know that this is not sensible, or think that it is 'not done', and so they deeply repress their strong, nagging feelings. Children are mostly a lot less complex than adults, because they show their feelings more openly, bottling them up less or not at all. Most adults like children because of this. They have lost the knack of showing their own feelings. Most fall between two stools: endearing childish attitudes and wise, sensible attitudes.
This article is excerpted from Stoic Notes: The Stoics and Other Classical Philosophers as a Source of Inspiration for Happiness and a Better World by Rymke Wiersma. This book was first published in Dutch in 2008. The English translation by Stuart Field will be made available online later this year on the Atalanta website.
Thank you, this is lovely and a helpful reminder.
I thought that was a helpful list and worth pondering. I would add one pitfall of my own. That is merely reading about Stoicism in an interested but shallow way and expecting some effect to happen. My own discovery is that you have to work at it by keeping a grip on the thoughts that flow through your mind and deal with them. Epictetus makes the point well as seeing them as representations and "I see you for what you are and you are nothing to me." Picking up on a stoic thought each morning and, in my case, making that a prime thought for the day is also helpful.


What is your attitude towards your marriage?
We know that life can be hard sometimes and that it can take a toll on your relationship - but can positivity play a role in your marriage?
Encouraging remarrying couples to discuss their expectations with regards to children and their career, what happens now, how that might change and more importantly how the couple and their children might feel about those changes is critical.
Encouraging individuals to discuss their expectations with regard to children, what happens now, how that might change and more importantly how the couple and children might feel about those changes is important.
"After two years, I still feel like an outsider." - a stepparent.
Whilst marriages are lasting longer - those that do end in divorce are lasting 12 years, which is two years longer than they did 20 years ago - however the probability that a marriage will end in divorce has been increasing over the decades. Based on the nuptiality tables, around 28% of marriages entered into in 1985–1987 could be expected to end in divorce. This proportion increased to 33% for all marriages entered into in 2000–2002.
Stepfamilies face unique challenges. While a significant percentage of marriages in Australia will end in divorce, (around 1 in 3 according to research (Jain, S., 2007)) a larger proportion of remarriages will end in divorce. According to 2015 Australia Bureau of Statistics data, marriages where both partners were marrying for the first time accounted for 71.9% of all marriages. The proportion of remarriages for both partners increased from 11.5% in 2014 to 11.7% in 2015.
We are thrilled to announce the launch of PREPARE/ENRICH online for new facilitators.


Cataldi won one tackle and one duel and scored on his only shot in Saturday's 3-0 win over Roma.
Cataldi made his presence felt in just 12 minutes by sealing the deal with a potent and accurate strike from distance for his second goal of the season. He has played only back-up minutes so far. Lazio will face Fiorentina away next Sunday.
Barcelona and Inter Milan are heavy favorites on Saturday's three-game slate, which means plenty of fantasy players will be debating whether to pay up for Lionel Messi.
Cataldi was sent off in the 57th minute of Sunday's 3-3 draw with Udinese.
Cataldi created three scoring chances, took two shots (none on target) and picked up an assist in Sunday's 2-2 tie with Sassuolo.
Cataldi fired in a free kick on one of his two shots (one on target) and added one tackle and 21 passes completed in Saturday's 6-2 loss to Lazio.
Cataldi (undisclosed) is expected to be available for Sunday's match with Torino, according to Football Italia.
Cataldi (undisclosed) left Genoa's game against Palermo on Sunday during the first half.

Acting with Text is about how to approach playing action when working on a short scene from a play. We apply all of the foundational tools introduced in Step I to our work with text. Students will begin to deepen their experience with given circumstances, will begin to understand how to recognize action in the text, and will explore how to connect this new understanding with the tools explored in step I. We will explore with the sense of play and creativity required to begin to bring an actual scene to life.
Prerequisite: Step I: Intro to Acting or instructor permission.
Deadline to register for this class is Wednesday, January 16 at 5:00pm, pending available space. Class size is limited to 10 students.


Ottawa athletes finished up day two of the McGill Team Challenge on Saturday with seven medals highlighted by two new meet records. Added to the five medals on Friday night brought the club's total to 12 for the meet.
Sekou Kaba kicked things off with a blast claiming gold in the 60m hurdles in a meet record 7.86 seconds. The effort was so dominating, Kaba's margin of victory was nearly a quarter of a second over Toronto's Brandon Wilson. The previous meet record of 7.87 had stood for 15 years, set by Andrew Lissade in 2000. Also in the hurdles, Karelle Edwards took home silver in the women's event with a seasonal best time of 8.58 seconds.
Also setting a meet record was the 4x400m team of Oluwasegun Makinde, Gabriel Tesfaye, Denray Jean-Jacques and Michael Robertson who clocked 3 minutes 17.28 seconds for the eight lap event. The time eclipsed the previous standard of 3:17.77 set in 2001, also held by the Ottawa Lions.
The other gold medalist of the day was sprinter Farah Jacques, who followed up her victory in the 60m with one in the 300m. Jacques set a new lifetime best on her way to victory, crossing the line in 38.32 seconds. The time also moves Farah into second on the club's all-time list behind World Championship 400m runner, Esther Akinsulie.
The remaining medals on Saturday came from sprinter Michael Robertson, thrower Ashley Connell and the University of Ottawa women's 4x400m relay team. Robertson finished second in the 600m in 1:19.84 while Connell's final effort of 14.09m in the shot put left her just 2cm out of gold. The Gee Gee relay team of Dominique Martel-Lamothe, Chelsea Gillies, Charlotte Gardner and Gift Okwankwu edged out their bronze, running 3:58.28 – just 0.02 seconds ahead of fourth place Guelph.
Another noteworthy performance from the weekend came from distance runner Olivia Robertson, competing for Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa. Robertson, a freshman, finished fourth in the mile with a time of 4:53.97. Robertson, who had missed all of the 2014 outdoor season due to injury, now moves in to seventh in club history with her time.
Lions athletes return to action this weekend at the New Balance Collegiate Invitational at the famed Armory in New York City.
