NP: Do you feel that the lost civilizations were as technologically advanced or more than we were? Part B to that question is where are the buried computers?, where is the computer that's like 18,000 years old?, There is sort of this notion that technology looks a certain way.
GH: My answer to that is if we really want to get to grips with history, let's stop looking at history as a mirror. Let's start looking at it as a window through which we actually see what happened rather than projecting ourselves onto the past. There's no reason on earth why an earlier civilization should have followed the same technological route as us. Even if it had the capacity to do so, it might have chosen for moral or other reasons, to do with the sacredness of the Earth, not to exploit petro-chemicals, for example.
We've chosen to go that route, no certainty that an earlier civilization would have gone that route. And in the route that we have chosen to take, we have placed great emphasis on mechanical advantage. We do things by leverage, by mechanical advantage and we're very good at that. We do amazing things with that.
But perhaps we've allowed other faculties of the human mind to lapse in the process. We've become dependent on mechanical technology and other faculties of the human mind, which are spoken of in traditions all around the world. Faculties of telekinesis, for example, to move objects with the powers of the mind, of telepathy and so on and so forth, are spoken of again and again in ancient traditions. Maybe human beings in general have those capacities, but maybe we've gone to sleep. We've been lulled into a state of sleep by our society. We're so proud of our technology. We're so impressed by its achievements and my goodness the achievements are extraordinary – they're overwhelming actually – that we're just forgetting what else we might have done if we'd gone a different way.
I think this is the answer. That the lost civilization, of pre-historic antiquity, was a very different civilization from our own and that it was not primarily about material things. It was primarily about the nurture and growth of the human spirit and that's reflected in the myths too because it's when the lost civilization Atlantis or whatever we wish to call it, strays from that path, when it plunges into materialism, when it loses sight of its spiritual goal, that's when the danger occurs.
NP: Is there any possibility that members of the civilization in your opinion could have survived and be somehow hidden among us still?
GH: No, I think they were human beings just like us. But they are hidden amongst us in terms of their ideas – this is important to be clear. Ideas are what live or can live forever in human culture and the idea of the lost civilization, of the Magicians of the Gods, of the civilizers who went around the world trying to keep that light of civilization burning – that idea is very strongly impressed upon the memories of mankind and no amount of rationalizing or scientific skepticism is going to get rid of it. In our hearts, we all know it's true.
NP: So I've heard you say and write, that the Egyptians have put their best minds to work for 3,000 years on the mystery of death.
GH: This touches exactly on what we're talking about just now because the ancient Egyptians were the inheritors of an earlier tradition. It was the tradition I believe of a lost civilization and the primary focus of that civilization was not upon material things and physical life, but on eternal things and the possibility of eternal life.
Now typically in our society today, when we talk about eternal or immortal life, people start thinking in terms of trans-humanism – that we're going to install all these gadgets in our brains (a ghastly horrible repulsive thought) or even download our consciousness into a machine. What selfish and narcissistic thinking is that?
We already have an incredible mechanism for immortality. It's call reincarnation. Why would one wish to be a transhumanist and keep the same body forever or download one's consciousness into a machine when the mechanism of reincarnation allows us to live many different lives and benefit from the learning experiences that those different lives offer? Now of course I can't prove that reincarnation exists but I happen to think it does. I think it's just as likely. I think it was Voltaire, who said "It's no more improbable to be born twice than to be born once." And actually why not? We could go into that. There are huge amounts of evidence for it.
There's the thing, if reincarnation is possible, then we are not our bodies. Whatever we are we are not our bodies because those bodies surely die. We are not our bodies. There is some immortal part of ourselves, the soul, the essence, spirit – that's what reincarnates and the focus I believe of the lost civilization was upon that immortal essence of the human being for a very long period of time, but that it gradually fell away from that and evolved into materialism but that primarily it was not a materialistic society. We should not expect to find recognizable material traces of the kind of industrial technology that we've created in the 20th and 21st Centuries.
NP: Do you feel as though Shamanic plants, visionary plants might have played a role in this study of our own mortality of death in Egyptian culture?
GH: I'm certain they did. Indeed the ancient Egyptians did put their best minds to work for three thousand years on the mystery of what happens to us when we die and in that project they had aid from a number of plant allies. We know that Nymphaea Caerulea, the blue water lily, is a mild visionary plant. Interestingly and it's my friend Dennis McKenna who is an ethno-pharmacologist, who's made this identification, which is that the ancient Egyptian tree of life, which you see in huge numbers of reliefs around ancient Egypt – and often you will see Thoth, the God of Wisdom, writing the name of an individual upon the tree of life – that means that individual has graduated from earthly life into the life of millions of years. Well it turns out that the tree of life is Acacia Nilotica according to Dennis' estimation and that acacia nilotica is rich in dimethyltryptamine in DMT, the most powerful hallucinogen known to man. The fact that it's the tree of life in ancient Egypt is really intriguing and we should absolutely consider the possibility that we do know what the ancient Egyptians were smoking.
NP: Did your experience with ayahuasca give you any extra insights as to what happens after we die, as to this possibility of reincarnation?
GH: Again, I can't prove that this is correct. I can only tell you the impact upon me. My experiences with ayahuasca have made me understand that everything we do in this life matters. Everything counts, everything will be weighed out and considered. We are being given a precious opportunity to be born in a human body. It is a very rare opportunity in the universe as a whole to be a human being, to have the fine powers of discernments between good and bad, light and darkness that human beings do have, the capacity for love and sadly the capacity for hate. All of these things are part of the miracle of being born in the human body.
It's up to us to live up to that miracle, to fulfill it. Do we want to spend our lives just pursuing material goals and objectives? If we do we will not be nurturing that non-physical part of ourselves at all and it seems to me that the ancient Egyptians were very focused upon this. That's why actually you don't find remains of peoples' houses and personal possessions very much in ancient Egypt. I don't think they cared about that.
Towards the end of Egyptian civilization, Herodotus visited that country and described them as the happiest people on Earth. They'd been happy for three thousand years and their happiness came primarily not from focusing on the material realm but from living life in a way that nurtures spirit. Ultimately what we're all here to do is to give love, to act with love towards one another. That is the fundamental truth that emerges from ancient Egyptian civilization and from all the civilizations and the further that we move away from love and the more deeply we get drawn down into materialism, the less chance we have of fulfilling our mission here.
NP: I couldn't think of a better way to end this talk. That was profound, thank you for that. Any closing thoughts?
GH: No I think we've wrapped it up in a fairly tight way, which is good, no need to ramble on endlessly.
NP: Absolutely. Hopefully we can do it again. This is like a dream come true for me.
GH: Well I'd love to do it again and we'll definitely do that.
Couldn't agree more, it's our Spirit that matters the body is just the Spirit's home while we host it. So many things happen. One day I went to the train station to pick my husband up. His words were "how did you know I was on an earlier train". I just looked at him blankly. When the phone rings we know if it's one of the family.
All sorts of deja vue such as knowing the way in a strange town. The youngest daughter shared her flat with others when at uni. Regularly in kitchen items such as tomato sauce were left on the kitchen table, they would be broken on the floor in the morning. It was as if she was summoning a poltergeist. Why, we never found out. The phenomenon stopped when she moved house. My worst/best experience was in Canterbury Cathedral (UK). We went through a door and I fainted. People evidently helped me to a chair. I was asked why I fainted, I said I didn't know. The verger arrived and asked where I had fainted. He was not surprised, but I was. I had fainted on the spot where Thomas a Becket was killed centuries ago. Although I was only living ten miles or so away I couldn't go back near that spot.
I have a very strong sense of smell and am a 'taster', not surprisingly. What is disturbing is that if I am with a group of people I know who has cancer without being told. I guess cancer has a specific smell, but I don't know what it is. As for a sixth sense, back in the stone age they could hardly shout "There's a sabre tooth tiger behind you!" But they must have communicated or human kind would have been wiped out before it could evolve to us. And, look at the mess we are making.
This was a wonderful video! Thank you so much for sharing! I can't see why people want to be so materialistic, you certainly won't be taking it with you, so why do it. Things do not make you happy. happiness comes from within. I love nature, meditating, & I try to send love out to all when I am among people, I smile at everyone I see.
I've been listening to GH for years now and I love how articulates his thoughts. He is a changed man from pre-Ayahuasca days and I like that he has survived persecution from his peers and is keepin' on keepin' on. Everything, I mean everything boils down to LOVE.?
Absolutely fascinating and found it very profound. I agree completely with Graham Hancock's perception of our mission and subsequent consequences if not followed. Thank you.
Great talk Nick!!!!! You two are now… as well as many of us recently remembering our 'True' natures and moving ahead as we remember our past. Like the Fibonacci sequence. Progressive Regression.
I so appreciate this interview. It brings to mind and heart Bill Moyer's "Power of Myth" series with Joseph Campbell- somehow Bill's gentle questions and curiosity really brought out the story-teller in JC (not that he isn't naturally a story teller, but his lectures could feel dry and devoid of his magical spark). So I guess I'm saying THANK YOU! And more please.
This is ,in my opinion, the absolute best interview or post you've ever done? Really blew me away.!
Thank you so much for posting this – makes total sense and in the end, anything really essential can not be "proved". We can show "proof" of our identity but that doesn't begin to touch on who we are essentially.
I like the idea that everything we do matters and that we are here to give love to each other. Beautiful!
What a wonderful, insightful interview. So grateful. Mr. Hancock is amazing, and so glad in truth, with ideas if not in person, so many of us travel the spiritual journey together. Hope to hear many more interviews. Thank you.
Nick, what a wonderful find to actually listen to your conversation with Graham Hancock. A pleasure to know that others are concerned and interested how important the Hunters and Gatherers matter, along with the the intellect.
I honor your diligence in continued burrowing into the origins of our life and this planet. You matter in a very cataclysmic way for others also curious. Forever grateful and look fwd. to more discoverys.
Wait, I see that you do publish names on comments offered. I would like to change my comment name, please return my last comment so I could do so. Thankyou.
Over recent years I have given up so much 'modern' No television, newspapers, some internet time though. I live in a very small abode and grow as much as possible for myself and spend all day with my animals. Retired, very busy and never happier. Aware of past lives and enjoying sharing thoughts with my ponies. Love the interview, its spot on. Thank you.
Isn´t this a matter of quantum physics?
I respect and agree about what told Graham H. but I shocket , who is leading this programme , who is this nick polizi ??? I can see only EGO , BIG BIG EGO !
You can easily see his face not hidden disgust for those with whom he talking !!!
The full interview is excellent, amazing subject. Keep doing that, I'm enjoying your interviews. Thank you so much.
Nick, you are just awesome. I love what your pursuing and love that you share it.
Thank you for your endeavors.
Thank you so much for sharing your interview with Graham Hancock.
I listened with a great deal of interest, particularly heightened today by the imminence of my brother in law's death. Graham's assurance about our reason for existence was very affirming for me today as I stand by, helpless to do anything but put the situation in God's Hands.
I believe that the very real Presence of Love is with us here and now, and expresses Itself as Compassion as we choose to invite It.
I know in my very being that I was here many times before. I have had patients who with a somato emotional release have discussed being present in other lifetimes. I will buy your book as I feel a connection to wanting to know more about your research. Thank you !
Why Graham and others only concentrate on Greek and Egyptian culture and civilisation. Why don't you talk about Indian civilisation ever. Which will with proof gives you answers that ancient people really lived lives much superior to us. The mythological stories are not just stories but are realities which happened then. Even today one of that is YOGA. Changing it to according to your necessity is not an achievement but learning, living and understanding it as it is will be. Why there is a cry to go Vegan, when India said being vegetarian is healthy no one cared. Infact Indians started changing as Non vegans. Which is a bad sign. Insight towards India is needed by people like Graham.
Since I was a kid, I've always believed and insisted that I should be able to move objects with my mind. It's great to hear one of my all time favourite authors repeat this. Perhaps the pyramids were build thru telekinetic power – a bunch of people used their minds to move stones into place.
So inspirational and enlightening! Thank you for sharing this.
Extremely interestingI was lucky enough to have visited both Egypt and Peru.
lots of love,joy and peace.
this reminds me of the movie network where max tells diana that she is one of howards current batch of humans are called humanoids. we are slowly turning into robots that look human but are not. being able to read and congregate with folks who desire to really know what life means other than the material things we create is powerfull. thank you. injoy!!!

Home Home Recycling in America Is a Mess. A New Invoice Might Clear It...
Recycling in America Is a Mess. A New Invoice Might Clear It Up.
America's recycling business is in big trouble. The ecological and economic effects on cities are threatening.
China used to take our recyclables, but essentially closed its doors in 2018 because the paper and plastics we shipped were too heavily contaminated with garbage. Unsurprisingly, the United States leads the world in per capita production of municipal waste and the decade-long volume of single-use plastics has soared since the pandemic began.
The closure of the Chinese market has fueled the American recycling business – too much supply, too little demand. For example, in Onondaga County, New York, where the collection, processing and marketing of recyclable materials has long paid off and has occasionally even made money, the county's residents will have more than $ 2 million to cover recycling costs in 2020 issued. Dozens of recycling programs have been closed across the country, and Americans are piling more trash than ever in incinerators and landfills. This corresponds to the vomiting of our collective hands, a trend that disproportionately affects marginalized neighborhoods and color communities.
But there is a way to clear this mess up.
Some New York state lawmakers, Long Island Democrats, Senator Todd Kaminsky and Rep. Steve Englebright, have drafted a recycling bill that, if it came into effect, would set a flashy precedent for other states.
The bill aims to put money back into New York's recycling programs with the prospect of improving garbage sorting technology and creating environmentally friendly jobs. It also provides incentives for brand owners to use more recyclable materials and reduce their overall packaging.
For anyone interested in preventing our communities from opening more sites to burn or bury trash and bleeding, for example, to struggle with non-recyclable plastic food containers, milk jugs and yogurt cups – cash that goes towards building new libraries, Legislation is a potential enabler – hospitals or parks could be used.
And it wouldn't cost New York taxpayers a penny. Quite the opposite: it would return millions of tax dollars now being paid to municipal coffers for recycling.
Instead, the law would push product manufacturers, down to the smallest, to take on the recycling tab. The prospective legislation, which has been in the works for more than a year, not only has a reasonable chance of getting officials and others I spoke to in Albany – it has a good chance of gaining support from some of these companies and theirs too Get lobbyists.
Why? For certain companies, it's the right thing and the brand. Nespresso, the upscale coffee maker, recently reached out to Sims Recycling, whose facilities process most of the recyclables in New York City. He volunteers to pay for the equipment Sims would need to extract aluminum from his coffee pods, and arranges to do so with the New York Department of Hygiene for the pods to be included in the roadside pickup.
For others in the packaging industry, including some who previously opposed such laws, but are now seeing states like California, Indiana, Massachusetts, Maine, and Oregon considering similar bills, stand behind the idea – and therefore a place take at the table to clear the details – is better than being let out of the process and holding the bag. The Ameripen lobby group, for example, recently suggested being open to the idea.
In other words, we're talking about more than an obscure government recycling bill. We're talking about the glimmer of a cultural reset, a shift in the way Americans view corporate and individual responsibility.
The New York bill would implement a concept known as expanded producer responsibility, an incredibly infallible recycling term. In essence, EPR forces manufacturers, not consumers, to pay for the final waste their products produce.
Depending on the environmental impact of their packaging materials, the EPR requires manufacturers to apply different amounts with which the municipalities can then offset the recycling costs. At the moment, companies are doing pretty much what they want when it comes to packaging a recyclable cosmetic bottle, such as knocking a metalized plastic label on a recyclable cosmetic bottle and making it non-recyclable, or swapping plastic foam for egg boxes made of cellulose paper – which Taxpayers have to absorb higher disposal costs.
"We're reactive," said Bridget Anderson, assistant commissioner for recycling and sustainability for the New York Department of Hygiene. EPR, she said, puts manufacturers, not consumers and municipalities, accountable, and rewards companies who are greener by reducing the fees they would otherwise have to pay to dispose of their packaging.
If you think companies are only passing these fees on to consumers and seizing the opportunity to make a profit, the law can be written to prevent price cuts, Senator Kaminsky says. In parts of Europe and Canada, extended manufacturer responsibility laws have been in place for years. A study shows that the average increase in consumer prices from an EPR program is $ 0.0056 per item purchased. Depending on how they're structured, these laws are not without critics – environmentalists are concerned they don't go far enough; A Maine-based supermarket chain was concerned about the additional costs of their branded products – but they have no noticeable impact on consumer prices, the senator explained, as recycling costs are spread across different industries.
The strategy is not new in New York. The state has passed EPR laws targeting electronics, paint scraps, thermometers, and batteries. and a New York law applies to refrigerators and air conditioners. But all of these items make up little more than one percent of the city's municipal waste stream.
Anderson estimates that the future New York State bill focusing on paper, plastic, metal and glass – anything to do with packaging – would account for "almost half of our total waste." It's hard to convert that into dollars, but the cost of recycling in New York City is $ 150 million a year, she told me. The proposed extended producer responsibility would pay "a large portion of that bill," she said.
"An EPR law for paper and packaging would be completely transformative," emphasizes Eric A. Goldstein. As senior counsel for the Defense Council on Natural Resources, he led a campaign to remove lead from gasoline years ago.
Surveys show that Americans like to recycle but are frustrated. Not sure what is recyclable ("wish-cycling" is the environmentalist's art form) and compliance often depends on whips, not carrots: fines for using the wrong container, fees for not using reusable bags and expired debris for unreturned bottles. Sticks work, but can fuel resentment about the nanny state and prevent participation when consumers fear the system is not reliable and responsibilities are not shared fairly.
One advantage of EPR is that it is not a criminal offense. At the same time, an intensive public discussion is encouraged about the larger CO2 emissions from packaging materials, since the manufacturers' payments are based on their environmental impact.
In addition, funds from any of these programs can be used to make capital investments in improving garbage disposal technology so that recycling facilities can reclaim more materials from the waste stream – materials that can then be fed back into the local economy. Tom Outerbridge, general manager at Sims, gave an example: "Municipal programs across the state and the US now have problems with glass recycling because it is of low value and has high processing costs," he said. "We could upgrade this jar to put it back in new bottles, or in high-tech, low-carbon concrete to build greener buildings. However, to achieve this requires investments that no one is currently ready to make. "
The proposed legislation would be "a win-win for consumers and the environment," said Andrew Radin, director of recycling and waste reduction for Onondaga County.
The question now is whether Governor Andrew M. Cuomo will come on board. He has drawn up a climate protection agenda for renewable energies. Last week he hosted a program at New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University that focused on improving the quality and marketability of waste glass. But he didn't mention EPR in his last budget.
The bill is expected to move forward this spring. New York can set an example for the nation. Environmentalists keep their fingers crossed.

Sarkozy: 'Netanyahu, I can't stand him. He's a liar...' Obama: 'You're sick of him, but I have to deal with him every day...'
By Tim Shipman
Updated: 03:25 EST, 9 November 2011
Nicolas Sarkozy was last night embroiled in a diplomatic row after being overheard calling Israeli premier Benjamin Netanyahu a liar.
Unaware that journalists were listening to their private conversation, the French leader told Barack Obama: 'Netanyahu, I can't stand him. He's a liar.'
To make matters worse, the U.S. President replied: 'You are sick of him, but I have to deal with him every day.'
Child's play: President Barack Obama seemed oblivious to the breaking scandal visits a classroom at Yeadon Regional Head Start Center in Yeadon, Pennsylvania yesterday
Going about his business: French President Nicolas Sarkozy (C) welcomes Benin's President Thomas Boni Yayi at the Elysee Palace in Paris yesterday
The remarks were picked up at the G20 summit in Cannes last week on headsets that were about to be used for the translation of a news conference.
France opposes strike on Iran ahead of damning atomic agency... Obama demotes chief of staff William Daley after he becomes...
Berlusconi 'agrees to resign': Italian PM will go but not...
Several French-speaking journalists overheard the comments but did not report them.
Mr Sarkozy's office had asked them not to use the headsets until the conference began, and the comments were deemed private by French media standards.
Problems: A private exchange between French president Nicolas Sarkozy,and US president Barack Obama about Israelii prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu was overheard was caught on an open mic
Ears burning: Israel's prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu was the topic of the not-so-secret discussion between Sarkozy and Obama
Happier days: Back in May the pair held hands when Netanyahu came to Paris for a visit
However, the French news website Arret Sur Images and several Israeli newspapers reported them yesterday.
Mr Sarkozy has been credited with improving relations between France and Israel, but has been critical of Mr Netanyahu's determination to build Jewish settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories.
Observers in Israel and Rightwing U.S. politicians fear the exchange exposes anti-Israeli bias among European leaders and Mr Obama, a Democrat.
Last night, U.S. Republican Congressman Michael Grimm urged Mr Obama to apologise for his 'disgraceful' remarks.
He said: 'I find President Obama's criticism of Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu highly offensive and call on him to issue a formal apology on behalf of the American people.
'Whether the microphones are on or off, the message to our allies in Israel should always remain the same – "We stand with you".'
Mr Obama's candour is likely to cost Jewish American votes in next year's presidential election. He has already alienated many pro-Israeli voters by publicly criticising Mr Netanyahu.
Meanwhile, Mr Netanyahu has cultivated close ties with Mr Obama's opponents and is believed to consider him naive.
After a meeting in the Oval Office this year, he lectured the U.S. President on his view of Middle East realities as cameras showed Mr Obama listening glumly.
OBAMA'S INSULTS COULD LOSE HIM MORE JEWISH VOTERS IN U.S.
President Obama's disparaging comments about the Israeli PM are unlikely to help his attempts to win over the Jewish vote in the run-up to next year's election.
The President as been dogged by accusations that he is anti-Israeli and the criticism has been blamed by some for the Democrats' most recent electoral losses.
Earlier this year Bob Turner became the first Republican to win the two-fifths Jewish district of New York City following the resignation of disgraced congressman Anthony Weiner.
And a recent poll showed a dramatic fall in Obama's approval rating among Jewish Americans, down from 68 per cent in May to 54 per cent in September.
OTHER GAFFES CAUGHT ON OPEN MICROPHONES
George Bush and Tony Blair
Bush was prone to verbal gaffes throughout his time in the White House and dropped all formality at the G8 conference in Russia in 2006, when he greeted then British prime minister Tony Blair with the words: 'Yo Blair - how are you doing?'
He added a similarly eloquent comment on the Middle East peace process: 'The thing is that what they need to do is get Syria to get Hizbollah to stop doing this s*** and it's over.'
During his 2000 campaign, Bush dubbed a New York Times reporter a 'major league a**hole just before a speech to Vice-President Dick Cheney, whose response ('big time') was also picked up.
The former British prime minister let his guard slip on the campaign trail during the last election when he was overheard calling one elderly Labour voter 'a bigot'.
Mr Brown had chatted to pensioner Gillian Duffy for five minutes during which she heckled the politician about immigration to the UK.
After he climbed into his car, and unaware his microphone was still on, he said: 'That was a disaster. Should never have put me with that woman. Whose idea was that? She's just a sort of bigoted woman who says she used to be Labour.'
Shortly before making a televised statement in 1984, President Reagan checked a microphone by joking: 'My fellow Americans, I'm pleased to tell you today that I've signed legislation that will outlaw Russia forever. We begin bombing in five minutes.'
The comments, broadcast around the world at the height of the Cold War, received a frosty reception in Moscow.
Reverend Jesse Jackson offered a grovelling apology in 2008 after making 'regretfully crude' remarks about then Democratic hopeful Barack Obama.
Mr Jackson was caught ahead of a live interview when discussing the question of Obama's speeches on morality made in black churches. He said he thought there were other key issues facing the black community, such as unemployment and crime.
The reverend added: 'See, Barack been, um, talking down to black people on this faith based... I want to cut his nuts off... Barack... he's talking down to black people.'
With the PR fairytale that is Prince William and Kate, it would be easy to forget the British royals don't always come off so well. During a photoshoot on the Swiss ski slopes in 2005, Prince Charles was overheard by a mike muttering to his sons about a reporter. 'Bloody people, I can't bear that man. I mean, he is so awful, he really is,' the heir to the throne said.

Comprehensive Plan Implementation Committee
View all CPIC agendas and minutes
CHARGE TO COMMITTEE, March 16, 2010
At the Annual Town meeting in March, 2006, the Planning Board was authorized to create a Comprehensive Long-Range Plan (CLRP) for the Town of Lincoln. After three and a half years of work by nearly eighty people plus the help of a consultant, the Plan was accepted at a Special Town Meeting on October 17, 2009.
As stated in the document, the success of any comprehensive plan depends on a town's commitment to follow through with implementation. The Planning Board has adopted the recommendation to create a Comprehensive Plan Implementation Committee (CPIC) to help keep the implementation process on track, and whose charge is as follows:
The CPIC will be responsible for providing overall guidance and coordination for implementing the recommendations of the CLRP, particularly when they involve multiple boards.
The CPIC will develop timetables for various projects and activities recommended by the CLRP, taking into account the priorities initially indicated in the Plan.
The CPIC will provide support to the town boards, commissions and committees involved in the actual work to implement the recommendations, helping town officials with their roles and responsibilities in the process as needed. To be clear, however, the CPIC will not override or substitute for town boards, nor have responsibility for carrying out specific recommendations described in the Comprehensive Plan.
The CPIC will periodically evaluate the continued relevance of the plan's major recommendations, advising whether the town should consider revising them due to economic, demographic or other changing conditions or circumstances over time.
The CPIC will provide an annual status report to the town with respect to progress in implementing recommendations of the Plan.
The CPIC will periodically report to the Planning Board on the effectiveness of actions undertaken to determine if adjustments to subsequent or follow-on recommendations would be appropriate going forward.
The CPIC will be the conduit through which any and all amendments to the CLRP will be vetted, with the responsibility for making actual recommendations to the Planning Board if and as appropriate.
The CPIC will conduct a formal review and recommend an approach and work plan to update the Comprehensive Long-Range Plan in 2018.
The CPIC will meet internally and communicate with all active boards and commissions with enough frequency to ensure that the Comprehensive Long-Range Plan remains a "living document."
The CPIC will comprise no more than seven members appointed by the Planning Board. Members will serve a term of three years and be drawn primarily from citizens at large rather than from boards and commissions.

Chris Hamilton
Mark Hochman
Kemon Taschioglou
WORK TO DATE
The Committee commenced work in March 2010 and reviewed the list of action items in the Plan. It opened discussions with each of the boards and commissions that is identified as having 'lead responsibility' for implementing some of the items, to refine priorities and to assess the necessary steps or pre-conditions for action.
Most recently, the Committee has reconnected with the boards and commissions to ascertain the current status of the various task items of the Plan. The result of this enquiry is recorded in the updated task tables:
Land Use Goals - goals/status
Natural Resources - goals/status
Cultural and Historic - goals/status
Built Environment - goals/status
Open Space - goals/status
Housing - goals/status
Economic Development - goals/status
Transporation and Circulation - goals/status
Community Services Facilities - goals/status
Governance - goals/status
On August 13, 2013, the Committee voluntarily disbanded with the approval of the Planning Board. The Planning Board thanked the CPIC for all of its work and noted that the Quarterly Land Use Chairs meetings would be the appropriate venue for continued work on Land Use issues and tasks of the Comprehensive Plan.

Tom Robinson Racism
In Harper Lee's historical fiction masterpiece, To Kill a Mockingbird, the rarely appearing character, Tom Robinson, acts as a linchpin for the plot. He was created by the author for the purpose of causing encounters, causing references to his life, and sharing his insights on life that highlight the theme: other should not be prejudged by race. Atticus mentions Tom Robinson to Uncle Jack at the latter's home. Atticus feels worried about the case because," the only thing we've got is a black man's word"(Lee 166-17). This insinuates that people of color get perceived as liars when their words contradict those of a white person. Harper Lee's tool for dispensing morals, Atticus, finds this practice considered normal by society to be wrong. His disgust for this system is depicted how badly he wants to keep his kids from these standards in the line," I hope... I can get Jem and Scout through it without… catching Maycomb's usual disease."(Lee 117). Atticus' mention if Tom Robinson in the beginning…show more content…
When someone doesn't commit a crime, their unwavering story and ample evidence should prove their innocence. Yet in Tom's case, the other side's story changes repeatedly and incorporates many holes but Tom still found himself convicted. According to Mr. Tate, Tom Robinson punched Mayella's," right eye, Mr. Finch"(Lee 225). Not only does this differ from Mayella's retelling in which her left eye is punched, this would be difficult for Robinson, with his left arm mangled from a cotton gin. He can't blacken her right eye while choking her but the jury only saw his dark skin. Tom's reason for running even though his innocence is true," it weren't safe for any nigger to be in a fix like that"(Lee 265), draws attention to the unfairness of his trial and probably his entire life. For no reason other than his appearance, an innocent man had a death sentence placed upon
Symbolism Of Innocence In To Kill A Mockingbird
Tom is wrongfully accused of raping Mayella Ewell, a white woman, when the only thing he did was try to help by doing her chores. "Tom Robinson is imprisoned within his community but has never committed any action that might produce punishment" (Reisman). Tom even states that he did so because he felt sorry for Mayella. This demonstrates Tom's humble and respectable character, symbolizing himself even more with a mockingbird. "His only crime is to have been born black in a society that has certain assumptions about black people" (Reisman).
To Kill A Mockingbird Prejudice And Injustice Analysis
Although, without any shred of proof, Tom Robinson goes on trial for the rape of Mayella Ewell. This pre-determined bias is exhibited clearly through the actions and words that the people of Maycomb ensue, all because of his skin colour. Tom Robinson is ridiculed, name called, and dehumanised by the citizens of Maycomb and is left to face an unfair trial. From the beginning, Tom Robinson does not have a fair chance to defend himself as the jury is highly biased against people of colour. Also, Atticus Finch explains why Tom Robinson has zero chance of winning the trial, "There's something in our world that makes men lose their heads-they couldn't be fair if they tried.
Theme Of Bully In To Kill A Mockingbird
Tom Robinson is a young African-American who's been accused of raping and abusing Mayella Ewell, a young and closeted white woman. Racial discrimination is hinted throughout Tom's trial as Atticus Finch explains to Jem that a white man's word will always win over that of a black man's - "... In our courts, when it's a white man's word against a black man's, the white man always wins. They're ugly, but those are the facts of life" (220). Atticus explains to Jem that in the courts of Maycomb, a black man's state of innocence or guilt is truly determined by a white man's testimony.
Disrespect In To Kill A Mockingbird
If it was not for Tom Robinson being protected by Atticus, he would have died earlier than he did. One of the main reasons the mop tried to kill him was not only because of how he was accused of raping a white woman, but because he was black. Nevertheless, Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird was a great book with a very interesting plot and lots of great themes that really improve the plot, consequently, one of them being racism. Racism was seen throughout the book from the trial, or from when the African Americans were treated with the least respect, or when the people tried to kill Tom Robinson before his
Theme Of Racial Judgement In To Kill A Mockingbird
Through the stories of Tom Robinson's trial, Jem and Scouts journey to Calpurnia's church, and Mrs. Dubose's commentary to Jem, the theme of racism remains. For instance, in Tom Robinson's trial, the jury consisted of fellow townspeople who obviously had a racial opinion. Unfortunately, the people of the jury never accepted the words of a black man over a white man.. In fact, Atticus told his son that "In our courts, when it's a white man's word against a black man's, the white man always wins."
Bob Ewell Discrimination In To Kill A Mockingbird
Imagine living during a time where you would be discriminated against and divided just because the color of your skin. In the novel To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee, a black man named Tom Robinson was falsely accused of having raped a white woman and was not given a fair trial. The towns hatred towards black people have caused a prejudice to occur against him. The jury was made up of only white males who are biased against black people due to this prejudice. Tom has good morals, is noble, and a good-hearted human being.
Comparing 'To Kill A Mockingbird And Twelve Angry Men'
Tom Robinson suffered a greater form of prejudice, racism. Unaltered pure racism. This is shown when Atticus says to Jim "Tom Robinson is a coloured man, Jim, no jury in this part of the world's going to say 'we think your guilty but not really' on a charge like that." (TKMB 219) The belief was that
Equality In To Kill A Mockingbird
Novelist Harper Lee, in her book To Kill a Mockingbird, depicts the racism and inequalities in the town of Maycomb by having a white man, Atticus Finch, defend Tom Robinson who was black. Lee's purpose is to show the world is unfair between races and we need to have compassion for others. She adopts a serious tone to appeal to people's morals to do the right the thing by those seeking changes for equality. Throughout his closing argument, Atticus ensures credibility, mentioning God, and by presenting evidence that Tom Robinson is not guilty but someone in the courtroom is, to explain Mayella's reasoning to lie.
Similarities Between Radley And To Kill A Mockingbird
Tom Robinson was a kind and compassionate being. The only thing Tom was guilty of was that he "felt right sorry for [Mayella]" (264). Atticus stated, in the courtroom, that Mr. Robinson's "case should have never come to trial" (271). Even all the evidence clearly shows that Tom Robinson is innocent, for example, Mayella Ewell was beaten on the right side of her face. Therefore, Mayella was "beaten savagely by someone who led almost exclusively with his left hand" (272).
Why Is Tom Robinson Trial Unfair
In this case the only reason that Tom Robinson is being accused of such things is because he is a black person. And during the time To Kill a Mockingbird took place. Black people were not looked fondly upon, they were treated very poorly. Though there were some
Justice In To Kill A Mockingbird
Atticus had shown every reason why Robinson is innocent, even though the discrimination of the judges think otherwise. Atticus does not treat this case differently because Robinson is black, he treats this case like any other. Atticus earns Tom's respect by showing him
Elements Of Racism In Tkam
Does the novel seem to think that racism will eventually be overcome? Or will there always be an element of racism in Maycomb?
Tom's Discrimination In To Kill A Mockingbird
A man named Tom Robinson is an individual in society singled out because he is a black man. Society will not look past the labels to realize we are all the same.(shmoop.com) Atticus his lawyer even feels alone and misunderstood, he feels alienated to his own home. He is being discriminated against for looking past the labels to support what 's right. Tom is nothing but a compassionate husband, and father. "Mr. Finch, I tried. I tried to 'thout bein ' ugly to her. I didn 't wanta be ugly, I didn 't wanta push her or nothin '."(261), said Tom in the courtroom. Even when Tom told the truth he was not believed by anyone but Atticus. Only because Tom was an accused black man. Atticus took pride and fought for Tom a fair trial."...They 've done it
What Are Atticus's Actions
We can clearly see that Tom Robinson is not the type of person to commit a crime in the first place because he "was probably the only person who was ever decent to her." (Lee 257) Her, referring to Mayella Ewell. Mayella was mistreated and personally I think that Tom Robinson is one of the few people in this book that I would classify as someone who does good things for the sake of doing a good deed, in this instance it would be helping Mayella without being payed, and this is something that Atticus wanted his children to see and learn to do. This quote in a nutshell says that Tom Robinson was likely to be the only person who didn't look down upon or mistreat Mayella Ewell. Atticus then wants to mirror this personality onto his children when he gave them the advice "You just hold your head high and keep those fists down.
The Scottsboro Boys Trial
'Are you being impudent to me boy?' 'No suh, I didn't go to be.'" (Lee 265). Tom Robinson had confessed to being scared to be in court and cooperated by always speaking the truth, because he did not want to be put to death for a crime he did not commit. What was worse was that the prosecuting lawyer had been rude, saying that Robinson was disrespectful because of his response; while Tom had in reality had been open and honest and the farthest thing from disrespectful the attorney may have said this as a tactic to portray Tom as a stereotypical black person.

NGC 2441 est une galaxie spirale intermédiaire située dans la constellation de la Girafe. Sa vitesse par rapport au fond diffus cosmologique est de , ce qui correspond à une distance de Hubble de . NGC 2441 a été découverte par l'astronome allemand Wilhelm Tempel en 1882.

La classe de luminosité de NGC 3441 est II et elle présente une large raie HI.

À ce jour, plus d'une quinzaine de mesures non basées sur le décalage vers le rouge (redshift) donnent une distance de , ce qui est à l'intérieur des valeurs de la distance de Hubble.

SN 1995E, une supernova peu commune dans NGC 2441

SN 1995E est une supernova de type Ia découverte en 1995 comme son nom l'indique. Ce type de supernova se produit dans un système binaire d'étoiles où une naine blanche arrache de la matière à une étoile compagne en orbite jusqu'à ce que la masse de la naine blanche dépasse la masse de Chandrasekhar. L'étoile explose alors littéralement et il ne reste aucun débris. La luminosité intrinsèque des supernovas thermonucléaires est uniforme, faisant de ce type de supernova une chandelle cosmique pour mesurer les distances, d'où l'importance de leur observation.

Mais, SN 1995E peut nous être très utile d'une autre façon. De récentes observations de la région de cette supernova révèlent qu'il pourrait s'y produire un écho lumineux, produit par la réflexion de la lumière par une coquille de poussière interstellaire qui entoure probablement l'étoile compagne. En effet, les observations réalisées en 2006 à l'aide du télescope spatial Hubble ont révélé que la luminosité de l'étoile diminuait d'une façon qui suggère une dispersion de sa lumière par une coquille sphérique de poussière. Les échos lumineux peuvent nous fournir des renseignements au sujet de l'environnement d'objets cosmiques comme une supernova et aussi des caractéristiques des étoiles génitrices.

S'il s'avère que SN 1995E est effectivement le siège d'un écho lumineux, la supernova fera partie d'un club très restreint. En effet, seules deux autres supernovas montrent un phénomène d'écho lumineux : SN 1991T et SN 1998bu.

Groupe de NGC 2523
NGC 2441 fait partie du groupe de NGC 2523. Outre NGC 2441 et NGC 2523, les autres galaxies du groupe sont PGC 23781 (NGC 2550A), UGC 4041 et UGC 4199.

My grandma knows everything. I do not remember what age I was when I first began announcing this piece of information to the world. I do not remember the moment, either, that this realization first struck me as discernable and true. And yet there it was - beyond the lens of the more experienced (and perhaps jaded) eyes of a parent seeing her or his own parent; through the simple, noble and definitive vision of child - in the way that a grandchild can connect, understand and appreciate the wonder of a grandparent - it was quite clear to me: My grandma knows everything.
I would happily announce this paradigm of mine to anyone who would listen: my family, my friends and my grandmother, herself. In fact, she and I had our own song and dance that we would perform - quick and simple, knowing each other's unspoken cues - that would lead to conveying this maxim to an unwitting audience. Truth be told, this schtick had a certain shelf life that ended somewhere at the onset of young adulthood and the assumption that most of us young adults eventually embody - that we each know everything that we need to know. Even though I have not uttered this bromide in years - as I searched my mind and my heart for the words to share with you this morning - it was these words that I felt compelled to share and explore. My grandma knows everything.
What did Phyllis Bookatz know? Well, all of us who interacted with my grandma, were keenly aware of what she was thinking or feeling about a particular matter or person - whether we liked it or not. What one thinks and what one feels is not necessarily the same thing as what one knows. I am not standing here with a childlike wonder suggesting that she actually knew everything. My grandma would never claim to be a scholar filled with academic knowledge. As many times as I tried to sit at the feet of my elder and coax her to wax philosophical about questions of an existential or ideological nature, she never really thrived in that kind of exchange. She was too practical, too corporeal. So, I wonder: What did she know? My grandma knows everything.
The Hebrew word that we most commonly translate from the verb 'to know' is Da'at. It is used in a myriad of ways in the Tanach - expressing all kinds of knowing or knowledge - from knowing the difference between 'good and evil' to knowing someone in the 'biblical sense' to knowing what is true and how the world works because one's life experience. The mystics understand Da'at as the concrete and solid manifestation of our accumulated understanding and wisdom. The nature of Da'at is not about espousing pieces of information or overwhelming others with impressive data - but honestly and boldly living what we know. Da'at is how we embody what we understand, how we live the truths that are embedded in our hearts and souls. So, from what I thought I understood as a child to what I thought I understood no more as a young adult ... today, as a middle aged adult, I am quite clear in my mind and heart as I tell you: My grandma knows everything.
Phyllis Bookatz - in the way she lived her life - embodied this Da'at - this knowing - in how she worked, how she played; how she spent her time, energy and money; how she fought and how she loved. Within this life of actions, deeds and values we see what she knew. My grandma knows everything. However, 'everything', might take too long for us to cover in the time that I am given to celebrate her this morning. So, I ask you to indulge me as I share with you just a small portion of that 'everything' that I am blessed to understand and hopefully 'know' myself one day.
My grandma knows about working hard, commitment, perseverance and strength. With her practical, stick-to-it and serious nature - my grandmother was a doer. She was someone upon whom others could depend, someone who would get things done. She would not get caught up in the what-ifs or the emotionality of a task or a project - she would put her head down and do what she needed to do - because it needed to get done. There are many examples from her life about how she knew about these things. My aunts, uncle and mom can tell you examples from their childhood; my cousins share my witness to the thing she did - not just for the community - but for each one of us - the people at B'nai Jeshurun can share them, too and so can the countless others who knew Phyllis in one of her life endeavors. From among these numerous moments of commitment, perseverance and strength ... one profoundly speaks to me. I cannot speak about my grandmother without speaking about my grandfather. The two were inextricably combined in my memory and my heart. They were an entity, a force together. They were yin and yang before it was cool and hip to talk about people being yin and yang. As formidable (and sometimes intimidating) as each could be individually, they were more so together. And yet, almost three decades ago - my grandfather died in a slow, painful and treacherous manner. I remember feeling worried and concerned for her - how would she overcome this devastating loss of her Jules. To this day I am awed and inspired by the way that my grandma lived after he died. Tapping into her storehouse of a lifetime of acquired commitment, perseverance and strength - Phyllis crafted, created and forged a life - that while did not include her beloved Jules - did include meaning, purpose and love. She knew how to commit, to persevere to be strong and how to survive. My grandma knows everything.
My grandma knows about being Jewish. Identifying, acting and living as a Jewish person was essential to my grandmother's life. She knew the formal, more public ways that one might understand her Judaism. My grandmother's commitment to Heights Temple/B'nai Jeshurun and Israel Bonds are legendary. Her home (i.e. her kitchen) was ground zero for every significant Jewish holiday. I could go on and on listing these formal involvements and commitments of hers ... But there was more to what she knew about being a Jew. When I first decided to pursue a career as a rabbi in the Reform movement and not the Conservative one, I think I feared how she might respond ... having been so committed and immersed in a Conservative community that she and my grandfather loved so much. And yet, that was never the case for even a moment. From my grandmother, I have come to understand Judaism more deeply and broadly than than the lines drawn by its institutions. Again, while she would have never been one to express it - she lived Rabbi Mordechai Kaplan's understanding that Judaism was bigger being only a religion, or culture or ethnicity ... it is a civilization. And she embraced the fullness of this diversity and it's complexity. She supported and was supported by the religious, cultural, ethnic and national ways of being a Jew. She lived as if Judaism and being a Jew was bigger, larger and more important than any particular ritual or politics or doctrine - and held no patience when those (or other dynamics) got in the way of being a Jew. (And she would let anyone within earshot know what she thought.) When I began the path of becoming a Reform rabbi, I feared I might be taking steps away from her ... And what I have come to understand is that every step I took actually brought me closer to what she knew about being a Jew. Phyllis Bookatz knew about living a Jewish life. My grandma knows everything.
My grandma knows about family. We all here know the numbers ... four loving and devoted children; 4 sons and daughter in law who join in that love and devotion; 13 grandchildren, 12 and soon-to-be 14 great grandchildren. In many of our conversations and particularly in our last one, my grandmother wanted me to know how extremely blessed she felt to have the love and devotion of all of her children and grandchildren - she knew complete and genuine gratitude. Each of us can speak of the numerous ways that her presence in our lives mattered deeply to us and enriched us. And yet for me, what she knew ... what I have come to understand from her about family and relationships may be the most precious, essential and difficult lesson to learn. My grandma would not be one to teach the theology of Martin Buber, but she taught me a great deal about his lofty ideal about the nature of divinity. You see, Buber teaches that God is the name for what happens when two individuals love one another completely - for the other's gifts and for the other's limitations. I cannot speak of my grandmother without speaking about this precious piece of ultimate wisdom I learned from my relationship with her. A mature relationship means loving someone for all that they are - because of their greatest gifts and their most challenging limitations. The fact that I can stand here today speaking to you at her request - speaks to what she knew and what I seek to know in my own life. Families and intimate relationships are the most powerful and influential forces of nature in our lives. Like any force of nature they can elevate us and flatten us, bring us joy and pain. When we are able to love one another not in spite of, but because of our flaws and mistakes we are able to experience the full divinity embedded in each relationship in our lives. I understand from my grandma about the sweetness offering and receiving redemption and forgiveness; about the elastic nature of families and relationships and their power to impact and endure. Phyllis Bookatz knew about family. My grandma knows everything.
And now perhaps, in the realm that her soul dwells now ... she does truly know everything ... or maybe not. My grandma was always pretty clear - set in her practical and matter of fact way about life, death and what happens beyond this world. In fact, she often appeared as a foil when I have found myself teaching about Jewish views of life after death. She would represent the view that when we die, we die ... there is only this world and so the only thing we can do is make the best of it. Fitting to her nature and way of living in this world, and yet ... In the last year or so she seemed to open her mind to the possibility of another possibility. She would not talk extensively about this shift in ideology, except to mention the thought or possibility of being with my grandfather again someday. For my grandma, this simple suggestion was seismic in nature ... and brings me great comfort. Comfort in the shadow of death and our grief that she may be with right now her beloved Jules. Comfort in the light of the mystery of life that no matter where she may be that all she knew is such an essential and fundamental part of the lives of those of us who cherish and love her.

Kool Tools: Solo E600X-EQ Bluetooth Speaker
Studio 19 has announced the upcoming release of the Solo E600X-EQ, a precision-engineered speaker system that's ready to connect with music, movies and gaming for a premium audio experience.
Designed in powder-coated stainless steel (and available in space grey, gold, or charcoal black colors), the Solo uses state-of-the-art speaker drivers with a maximum output up to 200 watts, so it's loud enough to handle virtually any occasion with no compromise in quality.
The Solo is one of the world's first "enhanced degree" patented 3D-effect portable Hi-Fi speakers. The Solo's Enhanced 360° Optimized Sound flows not only left to right but top to bottom. This creates an omni-directional spread with wide, directional waves that circulate throughout a room, giving the authentic impression of a multi-speaker environment from a single speaker.
The Solo features Studio 19's proprietary Advanced Wave Sound Method (AWSM) with Adaptive Intelligence Audio. It protects digital audio before compression, preventing it from being degraded during compression encoding, which can strip an audio file or stream of as much as 90% of its detail, depth and intricacy. It restores a sound file to its original pre-compression state after decoding.
AWSM doesn't have to be on both sides of the process to work. That means it's backward compatible. It can improve the quality of existing third-party content as its coming out of the Solo speaker. At the same time, AWSM allows digital audio to be compressed up to 98 percent more, with no loss of fidelity.
The Solo incorporates Studio 19's patented DPAC technology to create a bass sound that matches or surpasses a conventional subwoofer. The innovative driver configuration, combined with air pressure, delivers a full-range sound with deep low-end frequencies and astonishing clarity of sound in an ultra-compact size. Cutting edge digital processing power means that the Solo heightens the essential characteristics of the audio you listen too, resulting in a rich, dynamic sound that brings your music to life.
The Solo has a built-in professional EQ Graphic Equalizer, a digital sound enhancement not normally found in portable speakers. Add more bass, mid-range or treble to get exactly the sound you want.
You can choose between Bluetooth, WiFi, Auxiliary, or HDMI modes and connect your audio source with ease. The WiFi with Multi-Room App allows you to connect more than one Solo for different rooms in your house ... for a multi-room sound experience. Play different songs in different rooms, synch up audio in multiple rooms, or blast the same song throughout the entire house.
The Solo is powered by an 8,800mAh built-in battery for up to eight hours of play. It has a retail price of $599 and a launch day special of $349, with a June 2018 delivery date. Studio 19 is taking pre-orders for the Solo at https://igg.me/at/Studio19SOLO/x.


2018 marks the year I seriously fell out of love with Instagram. My constant decline in followers has knocked my confidence so much and as much as I wish it wasn't the case it is, and I know it's not something I'm alone in feeling. And it's taken me months and months to feel like I could happily go on the platform and use it the way I used to, whilst I realise these statements might sound a little dramatic they're sadly true. In around September, I decided enough was enough and I'd go back to basics, try and stay away from the numbers as much as I could as and it's made me fall back in love with those squares and this is what I've done.
A question that I've never really asked myself when it comes to Instagram is why I use it? I started my profile in 2011, the app hadn't been around too long, it was something that everyone had started using and it was simply a photo diary for me and it stayed that way for many, many years. Until it became a part of my income and that's when I really started to care about it, I curated my feed so carefully and got so sucked into the numbers and that's the way it's continued until now. I absolutely adore sharing photographs of my life and things I enjoy but when you start seeing the numbers go up or down then it's easy to let it get to you mentally. Even when we know that we shouldn't, it's way easier said than done. For me, my why is to share things that bring me joy and to share things that I think might be of use to somebody else. Chasing huge numbers is not something that I've ever strived for and even though I would love to reach a wider range of people harbouring my own community is my number one priority.
One of the biggest things for me, in any online space, is that I don't follow anybody who doesn't bring joy to my online world. I don't need to see any unnecessary negativity or anybody who makes me feel rubbish about myself because that's not the point of social media for me. And even when it is part of your job, the beauty of it is you can choose your colleagues essentially, there's no need for drama and negativity. It's so easy to fall into a negative trap with social media and there is often a lot of guilt attached to certain accounts and why we follow them. But ultimately, social media is a choice and we should be able to make smart decisions about who we fellow and how we feel when we view their feeds. And something else I'm a big believer in is not overloading yourself with other people's lives, I love having a good amount of people to follow but I want to be able to get to know who is behind the feed and not just be a number. Although following thousands of people may work for some it's just a little overwhelming for me.
It's nowhere near as easy to follow and find new accounts as it used to be, which obviously leads to a lot of frustration for people trying to grow but people who want to find new accounts. The biggest thing for me was cleaning up my explore page by utilising the 'see fewer posts' like this option which I believe is in the top right corner of any post. By doing this it started showing me fresh content in different genres and I discovered far more new accounts than I have in the past year by doing this. The explore page is something that people I find either really utilise or completely ignore but for me, it's been a great new way to use the app.
Something that I've mentioned time and time again is that I'm a pretty shy person, in real life but also online and that is not something that bodes well for social apps. Making the effort to leave comments and reply to people's Instagram stories is something that I really did find quite difficult at first. I was worried that people would think I was weird or that I wasn't saying the right things and not once have I ever had such an encounter to warrant such worries but it's still there. Being a silent viewer isn't a negative thing as even just a simple like can mean the world to someone but leaving a comment and making that connection means more. At first, I started small and challenged myself to leave one comment minimum a day and then slowly built it up over time so that it just became part of my normal activity on the app.
When you're in a certain thing then it's all too easy to only consume that and although it can be good I often find there are more negatives that come from being in your own like-minded bubble. Obviously, following people who are completely opposite to you isn't the wisest idea but following people who have somewhat of a different lifestyle to you is something that I've to be found so important. Not only does it open up your mind to how others may do something but I find it absolutely fascinating too. This is another reason to clean up the explore page as it might show you something that you hadn't thought about following before but instantly fall in love with their feed.
We're all worth much more than the numbers on the screen.
No-one ever shares the whole picture.
We all have something of value to give to the world.
Never be afraid to unfollow or mute.
Share what you're actually passionate about and not what you just think will get a lot of attention.
The algorithm is completely out of your hands but the content you share isn't.
WHAT ARE YOUR CURRENT THOUGHTS ON INSTAGRAM?

San Francisco Opera's free Friday night simulcast of Gaetano Donizetti's tragic warhorse "Lucia di Lammermoor" drew about 23,000 people to AT&T Park, according to Opera estimates. It was the second time the company simulcast a production from the the War Memorial Opera House (Camille Saint-Saëns' "Samson and Delilah" was the first, in September).
At Friday night's event, the crowd at the San Francisco Giants' ballpark not only saw French soprano Natalie Dessay make her Opera debut in the title role, but also watched as Clifford "Kip" Cranna, the director of musical administration, received the San Francisco Opera Medal from General Director David Gockley. The medal is the company's highest honor, and Cranna is its 35th recipient.
At the end of the night, the cast of "Lucia di Lammermoor" bid adieu wearing Giants baseball caps, T-shirts and the team's signature orange foam fingers.

Fugitive Profile as of June 15th, 2015: (based on 2011 AMW archive)
Hair (Color, Description, Facial Hair): Brown
Last Seen: Lubbock , TX
TIPS: According to online articles, if you can help authorities find Thomas Crumpler call the Lubbock County Sheriff's Office at (806) 775-1400.
Thomas Crumpler is a web-exclusive case who was also aired on America's Most Wanted radio on Feburary 15th, 2007. Below is the archived description of his alleged crimes:
Cops: Texas Band Teacher Violates Trust
Every day, parents trust teachers to protect and guide their children. In Lubbock, Texas, police say that trust has been violated in an awful way.
Thomas Crumpler was a band teacher who worked at several Lubbock area high schools. By all appearances, he made it his job to infuse the lives of his students with the gift of music. But police say Crumpler did not have the best intentions for his students -- far from it.
According to investigators, Crumpler would invite students to his home for "extra practice." Tha's where they say he'd show some of the students pornographic videos, and allegedly talk about sex with them. Cops say they're also investigating allegations that Crumpler may have had physical contact with some students while on a trip to band camp.
After some of the alleged victims came forward, police charged Crumpler with Indecency With a Child. But it was too late. Cops say Crumpler made a run for it when he found out he was about to be arrested.
There's no telling where Thomas Crumpler might be now. But but one thing is certain: we need to get him off the streets.
Thoughts? I didn't want to gross out readers, but if you read the article below the AMW link, there are more disturbing details to this case. And it makes me believe this is a very underrated case and I'm surprised it was never aired on tv. According to an investigator in 2008, Ohio was said to be a good place to look, along with elsewhere on the East Coast. However, he also said nothing has panned out and it is "almost like this guy fell off the face of the Earth." Well, let's put Crumpler back on Earth and behind bars. If you know where he is, you have to do the right thing and call the Lubbock County Sheriff's Office.

UPDATE: I could not find any articles online in the past few years. As far as I can tell, Crumpler is still at large as of this update (7/20/2018) since I couldn't find anything to suggest otherwise. However, as always, if anyone has any updates/proof-of-updates one way or the other, they are more than welcome to let us know.

Wheatcroft and Whythorne's 'passports in rhyme': place and proxemics in seventeenth-century village performance
Wiseman, Susan J. (2017) Wheatcroft and Whythorne's 'passports in rhyme': place and proxemics in seventeenth-century village performance. Performance Research 22 (3), pp. 61-68. ISSN 1352-8165.
18658A.pdf - Author's Accepted Manuscript
Official URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/13528165.2017.1348667
The paper explores place and performance in seventeenth-century provincial England. It takes the contexts of performance disclosed or suggested by the texts of Derbyshire writer Leonard Wheatcroft and music master Thomas Whythorne as its central examples. Using this material, and responding to critical writing on place, it develops a thesis concerning the place of performance in seventeenth-century village life.
This is an Accepted Manuscript of an article published by Taylor & Francis, available online at the link above.

Day #270 – It's A Life!
What? No spotlight? Ok, then.
Conception. Development. Growth. Labour. Delivery – CONGRATULATIONS, MR. LUIS! IT'S A LIFE!
My ninth clean month milestone came and went with none of the fanfare that marked my 101 days or 6th month milestones.
Previous Day #269 – Not A Super Hero!
Next Day #271 – Eye Say!
Does this mean you cautiously looking forward the year milestone? I know this is a journey taken day at a time and not creeping too much into the future… But does one reach a stage where you can actually set goals and look forward to them or is that bad way of doing things?
Awesome stuff Dave on 9 months you have beaten the odds thus far sir. Here'es to 10, 11 and definitely 12 months! Looking forward to reading more of this journey as you progress.
I can only do this journey by setting goals for the future – just sometimes have to realise that the future is quite often limited by the chemical craving and the healing journey to "just for today". If I go day by day, then suddenly, forever doesn't seem such a big thing – unmanageable and unobtainable. Other things not related to the addiction of course, those can come with a much more far-reaching goal setting plan.
Thanks, Stef, and each one is documented for posterity!

The Centre Cannot Hold
June 21, 1963 — Giovani Montini becomes Pope Paul VI
By Loki 222 Content, Politics, Religion, Rock n Roll History of the World, The Rock'n'Roll History of the World
Cardinal Montini of Milan has been considered by some as a potential papal candidate in 1958, but as a non-member of the College of Cardinals was not eligible for selection. Pope John XXIII was chosen instead, seen as something of a non-entity and a safe choice by those who voted for him. He turned out to be the greatest reformer the Papacy had seen in centuries, calling the epochal Vatican Council II that changed the dogma and practices of the Catholic Church more than any single event since the Council of Nicea 1600 years earlier.
John died in office, and Giovani Montini became Pope Paul VI, inheriting the still going on Vatican Council II, which he saw completed and its reforms implemented over the course of his 15 year reign. Paul's particular focus was restoring relations with the Orthodox churches of Eastern Europe who had split from the Catholic Church centuries earlier, but he excluded no one in his reaching out to all Christians, other faiths and even atheists. He was also the first Pope to visit six continents.
