Atlas in Art and Modern Culture
When we think of the word Atlas, most of us think of colorful books of maps. In fact, those very collections of maps were named after the Greek God, Atlas, who was punished by Zeus to bear the sky on his shoulders. Atlas is one of the most unique and interesting deities of Greek mythology. He has a role in various adventures, but the most interesting ones are his encounters with Zeus, Heracles, and Perseus.
Historians and poets have different stories to tell, with regard to the origins of the Greek Titan god, Atlas. According to the most dominant narrative, Atlas was the son of Iapetus and Clymene, the pre-Olympian deities. He fathered several children, the notable ones being, Hesperides, Hyades, Pleiades, and Calypso.
In another perspective, Atlas was born to the Olympian God Poseidon and Cleito. He then became the king of Atlantis, a mythical Island that disappeared under the sea.
Other historians claim that Atlas in fact was from a region in Africa, and later became its king. This narrative became increasingly prominent during the Roman Empire, when the Romans began associating Atlas with the Atlas Mountains.
The most significant and notable event in Atlas' life was the Titanomachy, a ten-year battle between the Titans and the Olympians. The Olympians wanted to overthrow the Titans and gain control of the earth and heavens, which resulted in a war. Atlas sided with the Titans, and was one of the most skilled and strong warriors. The battle between the Olympians and Titans was long and bloody, but eventually the Titans were defeated.
While most of the defeated Titans were sent off to Tartarus, Atlas had a different punishment. To punish him for his role in the war, Zeus commanded Atlas to hold up the celestial skies for eternity. This is how Atlas is most often depicted – bearing the weight of the world on his shoulders with a look of resigned suffering.
Atlas and Perseus
Many poets and writers narrate the encounter between Atlas and Perseus, one of the greatest Greek heroes. According to them, Perseus wandered into the lands and fields of Atlas, who tried to drive him away. Perseus became enraged by Atlas' unwelcoming attitude and used Medusa's head to turn him into stone. Atlas then transformed into a large mountain range, which we now know as the Atlas Mountains.
Another version narrates the encounter between Atlas and Perseusin a different way. According to this narrative, Atlas was the king of a large and prosperous kingdom. Perseus went to Atlas in need of protection and shelter. When Atlas heard that a son of Zeus had come, he forbade him from entering his lands. Atlas didn't' allow Perseus into his kingdom, due to the fear of a prophecy, regarding one of Zeus sons. When Atlas refused to admit Perseus, he became very angry and turned Atlas into a mountain.
These two versions are slightly different in terms of the way the story is narrated. However, both the stories revolve around the attitude of Atlas towards Perseus, and the latter's rage, which transforms Atlas into a mountain range.
Atlas and Hercules
Atlas had a very notable encounter with the Greek god Heracles. According to Greek mythology, Heracles had ten labors to complete, and one of them involved Atlas. Heracles was required to get golden apples from the Hesperides, who were the daughters of Atlas. Since the apple grove was guarded by Ladon, a powerful and vicious dragon, Heracles required Atlas' help, to complete the task.
Heracles made a deal with Atlas, that he would take over and hold the heavens while Atlas would find him some of those golden apples from the Hesperides. Atlas readily agreed, but only because he wanted to trick Heracles into holding the sky forever. Once Atlas got the apples, he volunteered to deliver them himself to help Heracles.
The intelligent Heracles, suspecting this was a trick, but deciding to play along, agreed to the suggestion of Atlas, but asked him to hold the heavens for just a moment, so that he could get more comfortable, and bear the weight of the skies for a longer period of time. As soon as Atlas took the heavens from Heracles shoulders, Heracles took the apples and ran away.
In another version of the story, Heracles built two pillars to hold the skies, and relieve Atlas from his burden.
In all the myths and stories surrounding Atlas, he's described as a strong, and muscular God, who had the power to hold up the celestial heavens. In the battle between the Titans and Olympians, Atlas was considered to be one of the strongest warriors. It's also believed that Atlas was much stronger, even than the mighty Heracles, who had needed Athena's help to hold the skies. Atlas' physical prowess has been much admired and used as an emblem of strength and perseverance.
A lesser known fact is that, Atlas was also known to be a man of intelligence. He was very skilled in a wide range of subjects such as philosophy, mathematics, and astronomy. In fact, many historians claim that he invented the first celestial sphere, and the study of astronomy.
Today, the idiom "carrying the weight of the world on one's shoulders" is used to refer to people who have a burdensome life or wearisome responsibilities. This idiom has become a popular term for contemporary psychologists, who use it to define a childhood of problems, toils and burdens.
This motif of endurance is also the major theme of "Atlas Shrugged", a novel written by Ayn Rand. In the novel, Ayn uses the metaphor of Atlas to describe social and economic exploitation. In the book, Francisco tells Rearden, to put down the weight on his shoulders, and participate in the strike, rather than serving people who solely exploit the people for their own interests.
In Greek art and pottery, Atlas is predominantly depicted together with Heracles. A carved image of Atlas can also be found in a temple in Olympia, where he stands in the gardens of the Hesperides. In Roman art and paintings, Atlas is depicted as holding up the earth or the celestial skies. In modern times, Atlas has been reimagined in various ways, and features in several abstract paintings.
If you're wondering how Atlas became connected with maps, it comes from Gerardus Mercator, a 16th century cartographer, who published his observations about earth under the title Atlas. In popular culture, Atlas is used as a motif of endurance, to transcend beyond physical and emotional pain.

2013: Same-sex wedding issues abound
by Kathy L. Gilbert December 19, 2013
Weddings and trials sound disharmony for The United Methodist Church as it ends a year that included two well-publicized same-sex weddings and a high-profile church trial for a pastor who officiated at his son's same-sex nuptials.
The Rev. Frank Schaefer no longer holds a ministerial office in The United Methodist Church according to a ruling Dec. 19 by the Eastern Pennsylvania Annual (regional) Conference's board of ordained ministry.
But the pastor and his legal counsel announced plans for an appeal in a news conference the same afternoon. Schaefer said the trial court's ruling asked him to surrender his credentials, which he refused to do.
Bishop Peggy Johnson, episcopal leader of the conference, said the board then deemed his credentials surrendered.
Found guilty Nov. 18 of violating church law, Schaefer was given a 30-day supervised suspension and told if he cannot agree to uphold the entire Book of Discipline he must surrender his credentials.
Disagreement over same-sex unions and official church language that states, "homosexuality is incompatible with Christian teaching," is nothing new for the church, but the issue reached a fever pitch when a retired United Methodist bishop officiated at a wedding for two men in Alabama and more than 50 United Methodist pastors officiated at a same-sex wedding in Philadelphia.
Protests against the denomination's stance gathered steam at the 2012 United Methodist General Conference when the top lawmaking assembly rejected efforts to change the language about homosexuality including a proposal to say the church was in disagreement about homosexuality. General Conference, the denomination's top lawmaking assembly, will next convene in 2016.
After that proposal failed, retired Bishop Melvin G. Talbert said the church's stance is "wrong and evil … and no longer calls for our obedience." He said he would be willing to perform same-sex weddings for pastors who felt they could not do so because of restrictions in the Book of Discipline.
Church law
The United Methodist Book of Discipline, the denomination's law book, since 1972 has proclaimed the practice of homosexuality "incompatible with Christian teaching."
The book prohibits United Methodist churches from hosting and clergy from performing "ceremonies that celebrate homosexual unions."
However, many United Methodist clergy and church members have become more vocal and are participating in "ecclesial disobedience" to church law.
Adding fuel to the movement was the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling on June 26 that part of the federal Defense of Marriage Act is unconstitutional because it deprives the equal liberty of persons as protected by the Fifth Amendment. The case did not establish a constitutional right to same-sex marriage but did establish that same-sex couples who are legally married are entitled to equal treatment under federal law.
That ruling affected the church and in October, the General Council on Finance and Administration's board announced the denomination's general agencies would extend employee benefits to same-sex couples but asked the Judicial Council, the supreme court of the church, for a declaratory judgment on whether the benefits extension violates church law.
Other possible trials
The Rev. Stephen Heiss, a pastor in the Upper New York Annual (regional) Conference, announced he will likely face a church trial for officiating at the same-sex ceremony of his daughter in 2002 and more such unions since New York legalized same-sex marriage in 2011.
Bishop Mark J. Webb, who leads the Upper New York Conference, announced in a statement Oct. 28 that he has referred a complaint against Heiss to the counsel of the church, the equivalent of a prosecutor.
Two other United Methodist clergy have had formal complaints filed against them and could face trials in 2014.
The Rev. Thomas Ogletree, a retired seminary dean and elder in the New York Conference, is facing a formal complaint after officiating at the same-sex wedding of his son in 2012. Some clergy filed the complaint against Ogletree after his son's wedding announcement appeared in The New York Times.
The Rev. Sara Thompson Tweedy, also in the New York Conference, is facing a formal complaint that she is a "self-avowed practicing" lesbian, a chargeable offense under church law.
Weddings could lead to trials
Days before the trial of Schaefer, United Methodists Richard Kevin Taylor and William Robert Gatewood celebrated their 25-year relationship with a service of Christian marriage inside stately Arch Street United Methodist Church on Nov. 9. They were surrounded by more than 50 faith leaders—mostly United Methodist-- who blessed their marriage and recited in unison, "Those whom God has joined together, let no one put asunder."
The pastors and the couple said the wedding celebration was also a show of support for Schaefer.Talbert officiated at the wedding of United Methodists Joe Openshaw and Bobby Prince at Covenant Community United Church of Christ in Center Point, Ala. on Oct. 26. He is the first bishop to defy publicly the church's law against United Methodist clergy officiating at same-sex unions. The wedding was also the first same-sex marriage he was asked to perform, he said.
The United Methodist Council of Bishops "respectfully" requested a formal complaint be filed against Talbert during its fall council session.
In Seattle, two United Methodist female pastors, the Revs. Joanne Carlson Brown and Christie Newbill, were married Dec. 7 by the Rev. Patricia Simpson, a district superintendent, before more than 300 people at Tibbetts United Methodist Church.
Calls for civil conversation
The Rev. Thomas E. Frank, a historian of Methodism and professor at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, N.C., issued an open letter Nov. 13 to the Council of Bishops saying for the sake of church unity, trials need to stop — and the bishops have the authority to stop them.
His statement was met with disagreements on both sides of the issue.
The Connectional Table suspended business Nov. 19 for conversation around inclusiveness after a disruption by Love Prevails, a group advocating inclusion of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and queer people in the life of The United Methodist Church.
The issues of homosexuality and same-gender marriage are issues "that we cannot dodge as a denomination," said Bishop Bruce Ough, chairperson of the Connectional Table. "… We are not all of one mind, and I don't think we know what the mind of Christ is on this either."

Home Entertainment Why Hayao Miyazaki's Producer Sent Harvey Weinstein a Katana
Why Hayao Miyazaki's Producer Sent Harvey Weinstein a Katana
Ryan General
As the public eye continuously uncovers more skeletons from Harvey Weinstein's past, one interesting tidbit of cinema history was also unearthed by some resourceful netizens.
This particular info involved Studio Ghibli's legendary director, Hayao Miyazaki, getting the best of the 65-year-old disgraced studio executive/outed sexual predator at one point in his career.
According to the comedy podcast Chapo Trap House's subreddit page, Miyazaki had a confrontation with Weinstein over the proposed editing to be done on his film "Princess Mononoke" when it was about to be released in the United States.
Disney, which was Studio Ghibli's distributor for its films in the U.S., had already taken over Weinstein's Miramax by 1997.
Back then, there was even a rumor that the revered filmmaker sent the producer a samurai sword when he learned that Weinstein would be handling the film's U.S. release.
The rumor went: "Weinstein became one of Hollywood's most powerful producers by acquiring and ruthlessly cutting films to make them as commercial as possible. Fearing his masterpiece 'Princess Mononoke' would be butchered, director and animator Hayao Miyazaki sent Weinstein the sword with the note advising him not to do it."
The blade reportedly had a message that read: "No cuts."

In an interview with the Guardian back in 2005, Miyazaki clarified that it was actually producer Toshio Suzuki who sent the katana.
He noted, however, how he stood his ground against Weinstein's "aggressive" demands for cuts in the movie.
"Actually, my producer did that," Miyazaki explained. "Although I did go to New York to meet this man, this Harvey Weinstein, and I was bombarded with this aggressive attack, all these demands for cuts."
The 76-year-old artist, who is regarded internationally as one of the greatest animation directors, then proclaimed with a smile, "I defeated him."

Abstract Environmental changes, including biodiversity loss, are determining factors for the emergence of diseases originating from wildlife and increase the potential to spill over into humans. Taking advantage of new and mobile technologies as well as joining people, Fiocruz aims to educate and provide capacity-building for social actors and professionals to strengthen participatory network in this subject. The generation and use of biodiversity data allow the society and policymakers to embody information and scientific knowledge into good practices, services and policies.
Project Description Recent efforts by CDB and WHO, with contribution of Fiocruz, approach the scientific and political discussions on the relationship between human health and biodiversity. Among these relationships there is a global concern on the emergence of zoonoses arising from wildlife. Environmental changes, including biodiversity loss, are determining factors not only for the emergence of diseases originated from wildlife but also can be the source of the selective forces of new genetic variations that lead to spillover and infects human. So, there is reason to pursue actions to improve knowledge on biodiversity parasites and monitor them to anticipate problems. This approach has been strengthened by international and governments' programs which apply considerable resources to trace pathogens worldwide. For large, developing and megadiverse countries, such as Brazil and Mexico, monitoring animal diseases is a huge challenge. To face this problem, Fiocruz developed the Information System on Wildlife Health--SISS-Geo. By mobilizing ordinary people and experts, SISS-Geo allows the registration of animal occurrences through mobile devices. Using data-driven and geospatial computational modeling, it generates alerts and predictions of the emergence of diseases. However, citizen participation needs to be strengthened, new specialists need to be formed and acquire novel knowledge using biodiversity data, computational tools and innovative ecological approaches. The results need to be mapped into good practices for society and incorporated into health and environmental practices and services.
Project Objectives and expected Achievables In Brazil, monitoring and predicting impacts on human health and biodiversity face a significant challenge due to its cultural and ecosystem diversity. Not only that, but economic and social difficulties severely impact the amount of resources devoted to health, conservation and scientific research. All of this has motivated and ultimately led Fiocruz to create a technological tool available to mobile devices and the Center for Information on Wildlife Health (CISS), aiming at contributing to the sanitary surveillance and the wildlife conservation plans.
The goal of the Center is to empower people and decision makers' perceptions about the importance of biodiversity conservation for the welfare and health. Therefore, it is necessary to know the diversity of pathogens in nature, correlate them to biological communities, pathogenic and genetics aspects and to anthropic impacts in areas where transmission and diseases occur. Considering the complex evolutionary relationships governing relations among parasites, hosts and vectors, this is a challenging task, but strategically important in face of the globalization, persistence of poverty in human populations and growing environmental change. In this scenario, awareness is not enough. It is necessary to expand the knowledge to diverse social actors as well as health and environmental services. Moreover, joining expertise and data from multiple areas allows to generate capacity to transform knowledge into best practices which support sustainable local development and respect traditional cultures.
Evaluating existing technologies, Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (Fiocruz) has identified a need and came to develop the Information System on Wildlife Health - SISS-Geo (http://www.biodiversidade.ciss.fiocruz.br/sites/www.biodiversidade.ciss.fiocruz.br/files/sitecissenglish.pdf) which aims to: provide a quick and efficient flow of information between the Information Center for Wildlife Health (CISS) from Fiocruz and multiple institutions/national organizations, such as the different centers of biodiversity monitoring, leading to the creation of participatory networks; create models from the data augumented with georeferenced information to calculate ecological opportunities of zoonosis and generate alerts and forecasting of threats to wildlife and human health in order to act as a sentinel system for emerging and reemerging diseases and also provide the results of spatial modeling to the scientific community and policymakers.
The involved technologies are data-driven modeling and high-performance computing, but their applications are not obvious, given the need to integrate information from different sources, the complexity and dimensionality of the data to be manipulated and the sensitivity involved in the use and dissemination of such data. Furthemore, the creation of maps is known to enable a better understanding of the factors associated with wildlife health, and also allows the planning and adoption of preventive measures to the maintenance of healthy systems.
- To develop the capacity of key groups including groups and organizations that work on boundaries of Brazilian Conservation Units (UCs) and community health agents.
- To strengthen implementing institutions, professionals, students and technicians from Portuguese and Spanish speakers to work with data-driven, ecological and geospatial models aiming to generate automated alert and ecological opportunities forecasting models for the emergent zoonosis arising from biodiversity.
- To strengthen wildlife participatory networks to validate the models in field and in laboratory and offer support for surveillance and prevention in human and animal health, species and ecosystem conservation.
- To diffuse and analyze methods, results and progresses across the society, stakeholders and scientific academy in order to influence public policies which consider the importance of biodiversity for health.
- Brazil and Mexico are big and megadiverse countries. This wealth of ecosystems and large territory make biodiversity monitoring and protection of the UCs difficult. In this way the use of SISS-Geo, through mobile devices (Android and iOS), will allow the acquisition of important data required for monitoring health and will also contribute to biodiversity monitoring in UCs. Brazil has a large territory (~8,500,000 km2) and 1828 Conservation Units (UCs) in different biomes (Amazon, Caatinga, Pampa, Atlantic Forest, Pantanal, Cerrado), which 568 classified as full protection and 1260 as sustainable use. Mexico has 1,964,375 km2 with diverse ecosystems such as high mountains, deep sea, deserts, coral reefs, cloud forests and coastal lagoons. There are many protected areas at state and community level and 176 natural protected areas at federal level including: 66 national parks, 41 biosphere reserves, 38 flora and fauna protected areas, 18 natural sanctuaries, 8 natural resources protection areas and 5 natural monuments.
- The integration of SISS-Geo with the Information System on the Brazilian Biodiversity (SiBBr) will provide relevant data and new algorithms to GBIF biodiversity databases and models.
- Currently, Brazil has 5570 municipalities and each of them has many family health agent teams. These professionals are directly in contact with the families living in and around natural areas who often use natural resources and environmental services.
- The necessity to develop low cost technologies and user friendly systems, allowing its application in different economic and social context.
- The possibility of making this project replicable to Portuguese and Spanish language speakers and still others that present situation similar to those of Brazil.
- The Brazilian Network for Participation in Wildlife Health (RePSS) launched in 2012 during the 1st Brazilian Conference on Wildlife and Human Health that consists of researchers, specialists, professionals in diverse areas and society who share interest in the theme and are willing to collaborate with the Information System on Wildlife Health (SISS-Geo) and other activities of CISS. The Wildlife Health Laboratory Network (ReLSS) organized on a voluntary basis aiming to link the demands for diagnosis of circulating pathogens in wildlife animals in Brazil. Despite being composed, this participatory networks is still incipient, which makes its strengthening necessary.
- The importance of organizing specific scientific events for the discussion of the relationship of human health and biodiversity.

Stella Maris church to reopen as $5M temple in Condado
Lorraine Blasor December 8, 2015
The new building will occupy the space currently taken up by the church, a modest but rundown one story structure, and its adjoining parish building.The new building will occupy the space currently taken up by the church, a modest but rundown one story structure, and its adjoining parish building.
When Stella Maris church reopens in Condado as a brand new building, sometime within the next year and a half, it will fully integrate with its neighborhood and even turn into a tourist draw, Architect Federico Montilla said.
The Catholic Church, which will rise like a phoenix from its current site across from a popular park, will be much larger than its current size and stand two stories tall, said Montilla.
Construction is scheduled to begin soon with the cost of the project set at $5 million, said church parson Antonio Vázquez.
"It will be a classic church, not something to be confused with a warehouse or a hotel or any of the slipshoddiness in Condado," said the architect, a frequent critic of the Condado area. "It will be an example of calm and tranquillity."
Montilla said the design he conceived for the church is "simple yet elegant." It will be in the style of Spanish churches, with a shingled roof and lots of stained glass, he said.
The new building will occupy the space currently taken up by the church, a modest but rundown one story structure, and its adjoining parish building. In all, it will have about 145,000-square-feet of space. The interior, Montilla said, will include a small chapel with room for 35 to 40 people.
Stella Maris is located in an exclusive area of Condado, in front of a park, Plaza Antonia Quiñones, that is regularly up kept by the municipality of San Juan with frequent maintenance and changes of greenery. The park, located between Caribe and Cervantes streets, is a popular venue for families with children and older residents of the area.
For the duration of construction, all religious services such as masses, weddings and baptisms, will be held in Sacred Heart parish, on Ponce de León Avenue.
The conceptual phase of the Stella Maris project has been three years in the making. Montilla said the project has been delayed because initially there were plans to build extra parking to accommodate 150 cars as opposed to the current space, which only fits 42 vehicles.
At first, a two-story underground parking was considered, then a single underground parking but the idea was eventually scrapped because it would have been far too expensive.
As it is, it is unclear if Stella Maris has all the money needed to bankroll the project. Vázquez declined to give any information about the fundraising campaign on behalf of the church, which is headed by the sister of former governor Sila Calderón. Maria Teresa Calderón-Serra could not be reached for comment.
Construction is scheduled to take 14 to 16 months and will be carried out by QB Construction.

We are looking for a Catholic mass on June 20 or 21, 2020. Is the church open now? Are there any masses in English? We understand a little Spanish. We are looking at churches nearby, including the Cathedral, but the times interfere with our plans to see the rain forest.

Gigi Hadid has been on a serious style streak lately. Whether she's wearing a cute crop top under a furry jacket or pairing a metallic puffer with a chunky sweater, it's clear the model has mastered the art of winter fashion.
She was recently seen wearing a printed Tory Burch coat, proving that standout outerwear is all you really need to survive the frigid temperature in style. The long jacquard coat from the brand's fall 2015 collection popped against her sleek, all-black outfit, making it the perfect statement piece to wear on the weekends and to a casual holiday party. Hadid kept the rest of her look simple, opting for her tried-and-true Mansur Gavriel Lady bag and a slender choker. The discreet, understated look of the bag balances the loud pattern on the coat, and the pairing also provides the perfect solution for minimalists who might find the vibrant coat a challenge to pull off in an everyday setting.
While most of us above the Mason-Dixon line have zipped our coats up to the neck, Hadid opted to leave her coat open for that hurriedly put together look. Take note: If it's really, really cold where you live, take inspiration from one of the model's other recent looks and pair a seriously chunky cable-knit turtleneck underneath—you can proudly wear your statement coat open without the fear of getting frostbite. It also provides a great opportunity to show off those heavy sweaters that've been sitting in the back of your closet all year long.
Celebs such as Kendall Jenner, Kate Moss, and Rihanna have also experimented with the statement coat this season in variations ranging from printed fur to leopard jackets. Plus, the statement coat was seen all over the runway in the form of extreme puffer jackets from designers like Balenciaga and Vetements. Even labels like J.Crew presented larger-than-life statement coats for fall 2016.
Now you know, when planning your #OOTD for your next holiday party, take a tip from Hadid. You don't have to wear an elaborate dress or even a skirt. Plus, you're guaranteed to stay warm, no matter how low the temperature may drop.


The title of this post has haunted my thoughts for the last 3 weeks. The two words combined, say something so simple, so powerful, and so profound, that their depth, makes me shiver.
When I stumbled upon them a month ago (on @memkoh's Instagram profile), they struck me so deeply that I immediately wanted to react. But the more I thought about my reaction, the more I came to appreciate just how deep the phrase really is.
So today, I want to share with you, what I have come to see in my 3 weeks of contemplation.
For the human heart, there is nothing quite so unsettling as insecurity. Of all our emotions, it is the most disturbing, and the most cunning. Disguised as anger, criticism, and over-confidence, insecurities often reveal themselves in the behaviours most alien to their foundations – making them hard to recognize, and remedy.
This is why, I believe that recognising insecurity in ourselves is important, and 'knowing' that insecurities scream is crucial. Because a 'scream' is a loud piercing cry of extreme pain, and a way to urgently and passionately call attention to ones feelings according to two definitions sourced from my laptop dictionary.
So when you feel insecure, first, recognize that your heart is in pain, and in need of attention.
Second, before you react (if you can), recognize that your first impulse, that is, your first reaction to pain, will be to relieve it.
Whether that means getting upset, becoming dismissive, defensive, or even aggressive, whatever it takes for you to quickly alleviate that emotional pain will be the most tempting action to take.
This is normal, and is to be expected. So if you've succumbed to that impulse before, there's no blame here – and it won't help you to blame yourself. It only means that you are human too.
Third, recognize that pain is merely a symptom… and pain relief is not a cure. While snapping at someone, or pretending to be unbothered, might relieve your discomfort, the underlying insecurity remains untreated – and will rear its head again the next time someone or something touches upon the subject.
These 3 points, if nothing else, are the main takeaways I want you to walk away with from this article. Beyond them, there are many schools of thought on how to deal with your insecurities. Below is mine, for what it is worth.
In my life, I have found that insecurities are like tricky little children, playing hide and seek in the cockles of my heart. They are so well hidden, that I spend most of my days unaware of their presence, and so manipulative that even when someone/something does stumble upon them, they easily convince me that that person/thing somehow "broke the rules," and did something unacceptable.
This feeling, an inexplicable feeling of being 'wronged' somehow, is what I have come to identify as my insecurities' scream. When I experience anything that evokes a powerful need to immediately correct/hide a perceived wrong (or wrongness), I know that one of the delicate children in my heart feels threatened.
When such a child starts crying and pointing fingers, there can be no doubt that the child feels hurt, and that he/she feels that the accused should be held responsible. But as with any child, whether before or after rushing to their defence, some important questions must be asked before drawing any conclusions.
This is how it is with my insecurities. They cry out to me like the sensitive children that they are, quick to exclaim the trespass of another, and oblivious to the part their infancy plays in the whole matter. If I take their conclusions at face value, I am misled. But if I examine the emotions carefully, simple truths about myself come to light.
Fears about my ability, competence, personality, and so on. Fears that are sometimes baseless, but mostly base old, because they have not been challenged in some time. A child will believe the boogeyman is under the bed at night until he looks for himself or someone he trusts tells him otherwise; and you will believe what your insecurities say about you until you prove them wrong.
Some people advise ignoring your insecurities, and others advise quelling your reactions, and others still advise throwing yourself into the very situations that fuel your insecurities. Yet, I have found that while each of these has their merits, none of them is a cure all, in all situations – and all of them can be very detrimental if misused.
That you can recognize the screaming of your heart.
That you listen attentively to its complaints.
That you compassionately challenge those beliefs.
That you remain willing to ask for help if and when you need it.
Doing these five things (however you choose to accomplish them), I believe, will inevitably lead you down the road to self-confidence.
N.B. I am not a professional mental health counsellor, so take my advice as you would any layman's. However, if you are seeking some expert advice, here is a great article that covers all the bases, and here's another to cheer you up in times of struggle.
I am stunned. This article was informative, educative, persuasive all in one. I'm sure anyone who stumbles across it will be better armed to deal with their insecurities (we all have one).
You are awesome and I really appreciate you for taking all that time to deeply contemplate this issue and churn out an article that shows that depth. Most of all, I am happy that I did not withhold the thought of this phrase. You described it better than I would have ever thought to approach this.
Oh Memsy! You are too kind. I am so glad you enjoyed the article. Especially because you're the one who inspired it. I believe the time was well spent. Penning my thoughts in digital ink has helped me to crystalize my feelings on the subject, and I hope that this article, and the ones I linked to at the end, will be helpful to anyone struggling with insecurity.


I've officially made my first soup of the Fall season! When the weather starts getting cooler, I love to bring home root vegetables from the market, roast them in the oven, then purée them into a delicious and comforting soup.
This soup was different than any I've ever made in the past. It combines parsnips with pears, resulting in a unique, slightly sweet taste with a hint of spice. Parsnips are a pretty neutral-tasting vegetable on their own (similar to carrots), but in this recipe they are roasted first, which brings out a deeper, sweeter flavour that paired nicely with the pear.
This wasn't the prettiest soup I've ever made either - it looked more like ugly mashed potatoes than a smooth soup - but I still loved the taste of it!
As you can see in the photo below, my soup was also very thick, almost like a puree. I prefer thicker soups anyway, so this was fine with me, but if you like a thinner soup, you can add more liquid.
I wanted to serve this with some fresh bread, so I made some healthy three-seed biscuits to have with it (see photo above). They were the perfect accompaniment, and they were easy enough to put together in the same time as it took to make the soup! The recipe for these biscuits comes from Canadian Living: The Vegetarian Collection: Creative Meat-Free Dishes That Nourish and Inspire and was recommended to me by Ashley of Eat Me, Delicious. You can find the recipe on her blog here: Three-Seed Biscuits.
Place the parsnips, onion, and garlic on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven at 375°F for 30-40 minutes, until the parsnips are tender and lightly browned. Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes.
Once cooled, cut the parsnips into chunks and remove the garlic from its peel. Place the parsnips, garlic, onions, and pear in a large pot. Add the vegetable stock, thyme and allspice. Add more water if you need to, so that the veggies are almost covered.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for about 20 minutes. Remove from heat.
Blend soup in batches in a blender or food processor. Add more water if necessary to thin out the soup (I found that I needed to add a lot of water to get more of a soup-like consistency. I used at least 1 cup of water, and my soup was still very thick).
Season with additional salt and pepper and serve hot. Garnish with pumpkin seeds if desired.
This is my submission to Souper Sundays hosted by Deb at Kahakai Kitchen.
Sometimes the soups that we think are not the prettiest are my favorites--I think it looks and sounds delicious. I need to cook more with parsnips and I love the idea of the pear.
Thanks so much for sharing it with Souper Sundays. Welcome and I look forward to having you back again soon. ;-) The round up is posted. Hope you get a chance to stop by.
Thanks again for posting the recipe! This is a great time of year to cook with parsnips - I even like them raw too!
Now that's an interesting combination.


Bluetooth is an open, wireless communication standard for radio-based data exchange over short distances and PANs. It is manages by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group.
Original specifications use Gaussian frequency-shift keying (GFSK) modulation to function. However, Bluetooth 2.0+EDR allows the use of π/4-DQPSK and 8DPSK (Phase Key Shifting techniques). GFSK is classified as Basic Rate (BR), while π/4-DQPSK and 8DPSK are classified as Endhanced Data Rate (EDR).
Bluetooth operates with a master/slave structure. A master can communicate with up to 7 slaves. Slave devices operate off of the master device's clock. Packets are sent based on clock-time, at 312.5 µs intervals, with each slot taking two intervals. The master will transmit in even slots and the slaves will transmit in odd slots. Packets can be 1, 3, or 5 slots long.
Devices have the ability to switch roles at any time, so any slave can become the master device, but in a given period data can only be transferred between the master and one other device. The master chooses one device at a time, and typically allocates data equally between all connected devices, looping through each device (Round-Robin scheduling). Each small network (piconet) can connect to other piconets to create a scatternet. In this case devices can act as bridges, where one device will be a master for one network while simultaneously being the slave in another.
Bluetooth contains several mandatory core protocols: LMP (Link Management Protocol), L2CAP (Logical Link Control & Adaptation Protocol), and SDP (Service Discovery Protocol). The HCI (Host/Controller Interface) and RFCOMM (Serial Port Emulation) protocols are widely implemented. A Bluetooth Stack is a particular implementation of the various protocols.


Condemning antisemitic remarks by Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) continued to take center stage, on the main stage, during the final day of the AIPAC policy conference.
Marcie Fallek, 66, from Connecticut, said she had to walk out of Vice President Pence's speech after he claimed "total exoneration" following the completion of the Special Council Robert Mueller's investigation into the President. "I was fuming. I had to leave," she said.

Well it looks like we'll be going to visit our friends in Sun City, SC every year in March while I have off from my job at the local community college for it's Spring Break.
We drove there last year and combined it with visitng my brother in Roanoke. This year we flew and combined it with parts of FL.
I did not expect to get to very many lighthouses on this trip- the only one I was counting on was the Hilton Head Rear Range. We had missed out last year because we left it to the last day and got to the gate of the community it's in too late to be let in.
Esther and I spent our first day, Saturday, in SC going our seperate ways. She and our friends Phyllis and sherry went to tea and I went to the Rear Range lighthouse.
I used the directions on the Lighthouse Friends website and they worked just perfectly. The lighthouse is on a golf course in the middle of a upscale housing area. It's very difficult to get a clear shot of the whole lighthouse due to the trees that have grown up all around it.
I decided since I was on Hilton Head I might as well drive down to Sea Pines and see the Harbourtown Light which was the catalyst that started me down the road to Wacko status.
The light is open to climb but my knee has been bothering me so I opted to not climb it- or any other lights i went to that I could climb. I had climbed this one- and all the others I got to this trip that could be climbed - at some point in the past.
I figured i'd just go to the gift shops on the ground and see the same things.
Here's a shot of Sea Pines Harbortown light. It looks like it could stand to be repainted shortly.
Sunday was spent in the Charleston, SC area. Believe it or not our first stop - and most important for some - was the closest Dunkin donuts store to Sun City, SC. It's on the outskirts of charleston and we stopped for some coffee- and yeah we had some donuts as well.
We were discussing what to do and since it was still before noon I suggested we drive down to folly Beach for Morris Island Lighthouse. The people we were visiting with are not Lighthouse Wackos but they enjoyed the trip we took last year to hunting Island so I figured they would enjoy this one as well. They said sure let's go.
We programmed the lady- what the crew took to calling the portable gps system I brought because it spoke with a woman's voice- and off we went.
The weather was gorgeous- high 70's with very few clouds and medium humidity.
We continued past the foundations of the buildings that were part of the coast guard base that used to be here. You have paved right up to where the beach starts.
Here's some shots of Morris Island - as well as one of both Morris Island and Sullivan's Island (it's replacement) across the Charleston Harbor and one of just Sullivan's Island LH.
We spent a good part of the afternoon here. We then took a drive down to the Battery in charlestown and then took our leave of charleston and drove back to Sun City.
The next day Esther and I did different things again for part of the day- some of our friends had things to do for part of the day so I took Esther and Cathy (a visitor from Denver and the sister of one of our friends) to one of the local towns to shop at the crafty stores there.
I chose to do a drop and run- over to Hunting Island LH while they did thier shopping. We had all been to Hunting Island last year so nobody minded missing it this time.
Here's a couple of shots of the Hunting Island LH. the first one is taken from the trail leading from the parking area. the second one includes the Oil house and another out building.
Hunting Island State Park is very nice. There is a great beach, camping areas, a fishing dock and the piece de resistance the Hunting Island LH.
They've done a great job of restoring the light and the outbuildings. There's even a bonus in the base of the LH- the Fresnel Lens from Morris Island. I thought I had a photo of it from last year but I can't find it right now.
The next day Esther, Sherry, Cathy and I drove over to Tybee Island. We had gone to Savannah last year so we didn't stop in town as we drove there.
Unfortunately it was Tuesday and the Tybee Island LighthStation is closed on Tuesdays. This wasn't a big deal becaue we had all been to it before- still a small disapointment. Here's some photos I took while there.
I like the effect of this first one.
We took a walk on the beach here and I got several shots from that angle. i liked this one the best.
We left there and I dropped the ladies off at some little shops (do we sense a pattern here? ) and drove over to take some photos of cockspur Island LH.
There was a post on another lighthouse website that right after we were there that there was a ceremonial relighthing of the Cockspur Lighthouse. the photos were taken from a road leading to some docks on the Tybee Island side of the bridge .
Here's a couple with what I believe may actually be the replacement for Cockspur Island Lighthouse. Please enlighten me if I'm mistaken.
I went back and picked up the ladies and we drove on back to Sun City.
We fly to FL the next day to spend some time with my aunt who lives in Englewood, FL.
The morning we left there we drove down to Boca Grande, FL on our way to Orlando.
We stopped to take some photos of the Boca Grande Entrance Rear Range Light on our way to Boca Grande Lighthouse. This light was built in Trenton, NJ (where I'm from) and was originally placed on Cape Henlopen, DE until 1918. It arrived in FL in 1927 and was lit in 1931.
We continued on to the Port Boca Grande Lighthouse. I had a nice conversation with the lady who runs the place- again. the subject was the same thing we talked about several years ago- the fact that she couldn't get nay more of the replicas that HL made of the light. She remembered my previous explanation but still wanted more.
I told her maybe HL would make a LLOM of the LH.
We took our leave of Boca Grande and drove over to Orlando. We stayed here a couple of days- and actually got to spend more time than we usually do in NJ with our son, Douglas. He happened to be in Orlando on business and spent some time with us there.
We spent Saturday at Sea World with a friend of mine who lives near Orlando- Doug. Douglas went to a trade show, though.
We left Orlando on sunday morning and drove to Jacksonville, FL with a stop in Mount Dora, FL so Esther could do some more shopping and I'd get a chance to see the LH there again.
I did manage to get a t-shirt with the Mount dora LH on it, though at the I "Heart" Mt Dora shop.
The LH is an actual aid to navigation for the Marina in the town on Lake Dora. It even has a "connection" to one of my other passions- Poco. The LH is located on Grantham Point and the original drummer in Poco was George Grantham. I no of no actual connection between the two - it's just one of those strange little coincidences in life.
Here's a shot of the LH.
We continued on our way to Jacksonville.
We drove right past Jacksonville and kept on going to Amelia Island to get a look at the lighthouse there.
Unfortunately we got a bit lost- the directions on the Lighthouse Friends site say to get off at Exit 375 unfortunately it should read Exit 373. There is no Exit 375.
No big deal- just a bit time consuming.
We drove on down to Ft Clinch State Park which is listed as the best place to view the light. This also has been refuted here on the forums- I didn't try and get closer to it because the site said access was problematic due to it being in an area with private homes.
We drove further into the park because the sign at the spot where you can see Amelia Island Lighthouse speaks of the ruins of the Oil house of one of the other 3 beacons that served the area.
We actually drove by it twice before we stopped at it- the signs for it aren't very good.
Here are some photos of the signs at the Oil House site.
We left here and drove to our hotel and leftFL the next day.
I didn't try and get to the other 2 LH's in the Jacksonville area because of comments made about the hassles of getting photos of them due to them being on base.
All in all not a bad trip- good weather, good friends (and relatives) made for a nice time.
We got to more lighthouses than I expected- and added 2 new ones to my personal list and 3 if you count the ruins of the oils house and the outline of the beacon's spot.
You certainly have been busy Dennis! Looks like a great spring break trip for you.
Did they still have the painted turtles around Tybee Island?
It was actually a relaxing trip- no rushing just got to where we got and didn't where we didn't.
Yes, the painted turtles are still all around Tybee Island. Cathy had her picture taken with the one in front of the visitor's Center on the main drag.
Nice batch of photos, Dennis. I hope the weather in South Carolina stays as it was for your trip, because I'll be down there in a bit less than two weeks from now. My wife, Melissa, and I are first driving to western North Carolina to visit some friends of hers, then heading to the South Carolina coast for some lighthouse viewing (and photographing, of course). We're starting at Hunting Island, then going to the Charleston area, and then up the coast into North Carolina to see Baldy, Oak Island and Cape Lookout.
We had great weather- in the high 70's and low 80's the whole trip with the exception of the last two days when it was in the high 60's .
We had a bit of rain one day while driving from the Englewood area to Orlando.
Hope you have a good trip- I'm going to get to the Outer Banks one of these years. NC is the only state on the East coast that I've not been to a LH. I'm going to pencil it in for next year's spring Break trip- again- and hope the plans don't change- again.
You have a number of good shots there. I can imagine where you stood when you took many of those photos, for the ones I have visited at least. It looks like they have done a good bit of work on the Boca Grande lighthouse since we were there almost two years ago after Charley went through. Good to hear the lady was in a better mood than when we were there.
Thanks for the kind words. Yes, Boca Grande looks very good. I knew the island got hit a couple of years back by a huuricane- didn't remember which one, though.
My Mother was living in my sister's condo at the - up the coast a few miles in englewood where they got almost no damage at all.
The only complaint I heard was the same one I got 3 years ago- about HL and why she coulnd't get any more of the rplicas of the LH.
I walked in with a LH t-shirt on and a camera and she said- Here comes another lighthouse nut.!
