Bloggers are a great way to promote your product or service. But if you want bloggers to talk positively about your brand, you need to build a strong relationship with them.
Many marketers don't understand this. They think bloggers are journalists. They're not. Press releases and conferences don't work with bloggers – most don't pay attention to these, and many who do listen feel manipulated by them.
Don't try to create a one-time quick hit with bloggers. If you think you can talk to a blogger once and get a glowing review, think again. Just like any relationship, connecting with bloggers takes real effort if you want good results.
They are much more likely to support your brand if you develop a personal rapport with them, and if you are open and honest about what you have to offer.
By focusing on deep relationships, you'll also save effort in the long run. Cultivate a small number of influential bloggers who talk about your brand again and again.
This has a cumulative effect on their audience, and is much more effective than a one-off mention. As a bonus, you won't have to look for new bloggers every time you launch a new product or marketing campaign.
Of course, to build a relationship with bloggers, you have to meet them first. Too many first-time digital marketers get this wrong.
If you do a quick search for bloggers on Google and then send out hundreds of impersonal emails, you're unlikely to get any response at all. In fact, there's a good chance you'll just upset the bloggers you email.
Online meeting places such as Tomoson are a good way to meet new bloggers. These sites let you screen bloggers by area of interest, and provide metrics that tell you how influential each one is.
Once you've narrowed down your list, it's easy to reach out and contact them on the blogger introduction site. The other big advantage is that the bloggers on these sites actually want to talk to you.
Everyone likes to be appreciated – including bloggers. If you want to build a strong relationship with a blogger, show them that you've read their blog and that you think it's good.
Be sincere – bloggers can spot cynical flattery a mile away. In fact, you really should be genuinely interested in what a blogger writes – this is a good sign that they can connect with their audience.
There are lots of other ways to show bloggers that you appreciate their work. This can be as simple as retweeting their tweets, or posting links to their blog posts. When they mention your brand on their blog, drop them a quick note to say thank you.
To show that you really like their work, why not link to and mention their blog? Just don't overdo it – remember that genuine interest is much better than overblown praise.
If you really want a blogger to feel that you value their work, involve them directly in your marketing and product strategy.
You could ask them for feedback, or even for help refining your messages. By getting bloggers engaged and using their ideas, you give them a personal stake in your success.
There's an even bigger reason for getting bloggers engaged in your strategy. They know their audience better than you do – that's why people read their blog. If you listen to them, your marketing messages are going to hit the mark more often.
Bloggers can also tell you what's right or wrong with your product, and you can use these insights to improve its appeal and drive more sales.
To get a blogger to be your brand champion, you need to do most of the work for them. That doesn't mean offering to write their blog entries – that's a big, big mistake.
But you can give them great content that's easy to use. For example, suppose you want a blogger to run a contest with your product as a prize.
There's nothing wrong with giving them nice graphics, along with cool text that describes how the contest works.
Everyone wins – readers get a chance to win great prizes, the blogger gets kudos from readers, and you get the type of exposure you want.
Speaking of great content, don't do dull. Try to create innovative content that resonates with bloggers and their readers.
Remember, you don't have to talk about your product to sell it. A lot of the best social media marketing campaigns use humor, mystery or excitement to drive engagement – and that's exactly the sort of material that bloggers can easily use.
Once you have created a relationship with a blogger, you need to keep working on it. Don't go into radio silence once your campaign is over. At best, bloggers will forget about you. At worst, they'll think you've abandoned them now that you no longer need them.
Don't bug them every day, but do touch base every little while – even if there's nothing specific you want them to do.
For instance, one great way of keeping in contact is with a monthly newsletter. This doesn't have to be about your product – it could be hot news about what's happening in their area of interest.
If you travel regularly, another good idea is to look up bloggers when you visit their city. Offer to take them out for a ballgame or fashion event – and ask them if they'd like to bring their friends or family. Just promise that you won't talk about work all the time – even the most dedicated blogger needs time off.
Stay in touch with bloggers you've build relationships with and your brand will reap the results.
Do you have tips on what works best when you reach out to bloggers?

I would really appreciate your blog. You wrote all the natural facts. The point which i liked most was to appreciate blogger. I think this will be a great way to sustain a good relationship with our bloggers. Thanks for sharing such a nice blog.
Who can recommend some real estate bloggers ? We believe that content for website can help us to get more traffic.
That list may or may not be pulling those metrics regularly. Worst case you'll find that many of the blogs on a list aren't active anymore – but at least you'll have a place to start.
Like always you have posted an awesome inspirational post Jeff. Your post is great thanks for sharing. Do you know how can we find more bloggers in niche?
The easier way is to use a tool like Inkybee (see https://growmap.com/inkybee-blog-outreach-solution/), If you need a free method, search for the niche + blogs. For example, "golf blogs" or "food blogs" or "dallas blogs". Often someone will have already done the research and published a list. Even if the list is older, many of the blogs would still be operating.
Great. these tips are very good and I love to follow your tips to improve my site. thanks for such nice tips.
hi very nice tips to build great relationships with the bloggers. I am working to increase my site traffic and i thought back links are very important for good traffic.
i think the same rules apply to bloggers but also customers and business in general. Spending time to find your ideal client or building a relationship with a great blogger takes time but will make things beneficial in the end for both parties.

When you add an extra link in a comment like this, most bloggers will delete your comment – especially if you use a name that seems unusual to them. Sometimes I will edit it out, but this consumes my limited time. Although I left it this time, please only use the Website and CommentLuv fields to share your blog unless the post is specifically related to the content you are commenting in.
This is really fantastic for me. I have got inspired while came across to visit your blog. I guess you have put lot of efforts to produce this post and its very useful for me and other bloggers as well.
Thanks for sharing such an excellent post regarding build great relationship with bloggers.
Hi, Thanks for this article .
It is true that we always should build a strong relation with our followers.
We need to have a strategy that will keep them looking forward our next articles.

Q: Define command for which its arguments must be present and encased in (curly) brackets I want to create a command that explicitly requires its user to give the arguments in the curly brackets, or else throw an error.
For instance, take the following command definition:
\newcommand{\example}[1]{The argument is: "#1"}

Now, suppose a user uses it the following way:
\example{Hello}

... will result in:
The argument is: "Hello"

However, if the user uses it like this:
\example Hello

... will result in:
The argument is: "H"ello

This behavior is undesirable for the command I want to define -- how would it be possible to enforce this and return an error to the user? I've tried using ifthen constructs to test the arguments, but a single letter could potentially be a valid argument actually. Using \newcommand* only works if there is whitespace after the command, not if it is used mid-sentence.

A: You can  "grab # as macro argument" (see Macros with # as the last parameter and "Grab to #{" macro arguments for explanation)
\documentclass[11pt]{article}

\newcommand*{\example}{}% test if undefined; better safe than sorry
\def\example#{\exampleaux}
\newcommand{\exampleaux}[1]{The argument is: "#1"}

\begin{document}

\example{Hello}

\example Hello

\end{document}

The second use will break down with the error
! Use of \example doesn't match its definition.
l.11 \example H
               ello

A: In the example below the macros \example␣␣ and \fetchbracedarg form a loop for accumulating brace-nested arguments in the token-register \toks@ in an amount which corresponds to the initial value of the count-register \@tempcnta—I suggest a token-register instead of a scratch-macro in order to avoid the halving of amounts of consecutive hashes (##→#) which takes place with hashes occuring in ⟨definition text⟩s of macros at the time of expanding the macros in question.
\documentclass{article}

\makeatletter
\newcommand\example{%
  \toks@\expandafter{%

        \expandafter{\the\expandafter\toks@\expandafter}%
        \expandafter\@tempcnta\expandafter=\the\@tempcnta\relax

Nostalgic point and click
May 2nd, 2017 by William Thompson
Rejuvenating the genre
I've been a fan of point and click adventure games since the days of Sierra and LucasArts building their empires through the genre. The rejuvenation of the genre through the Telltale releases has definitely brought a smile to my face. Titles such as Sam and Max also gave me a sense of nostalgia. The developer of Paradigm (a one man team) seems to have similar recollections of those past classics, as there are many aspects of Paradigm that seem to stem straight from those games.
Paradigm is set in a post-apocalyptic era where designer babies are possible. Unfortunately, not all come out as designed, and the proof is with our deformed hero, Paradigm. He isn't too concerned though, and indeed has a wonderful outlook on life. He has found solace in creating electronic music with which he wants to share with the world. Without giving too much of the plot away, Paradigm's world is in danger though, of ultimate destruction, and Paradigm has taken upon himself to become the ultimate hero.
Heroes come in many forms
On his way to become the saviour of the world, Paradigm meets some strange, amusing and memorable characters along the way. A beat-boxing eggplant, a sloth with a Donald Trump-like hairpiece and a glam metal cult leader pug are just a few of the characters that will play a part in the comedic story that Paradigm presents.
It is fairly clear from the outset that LucasArts titles such as Day of the Tentacle and Monkey Island have been inspirations behind Paradigm. There are a number of clear references and from those games as well as many others. If you were a fan of insult sword fighting from Monkey Island, then you'll enjoy the Paradigm version. The humour throughout the game is also reminiscent of the LucasArts titles too, giving gamers a chance to chuckle along whilst playing. There are gaming clichés, pop-culture references and even some groan-worthy dad jokes, but they all work well in keeping the tone of the game comical.
The puzzles themselves are generally fairly straightforward. As is the case with most point and click adventures, if you can pick something up, it will generally come in handy somewhere along the line. The puzzles are quite linear, generally requiring gamers to complete one puzzle before moving on to the next. Inventory control is well done in Paradigm. Picking up items immediately places them into inventory where they can then be used to aid in solving an immediate puzzle or combined with other items to make new objects. Although the puzzles are generally fairly simple - especially for an experienced point and click adventure gamer (a hint system is included if you're having trouble though), they are quite varied too. As mentioned earlier, the inclusion of a version of Monkey Island's insult sword fighting (known as Boosting Thugs) ensures that it is not just a matter of combining objects together for the entire game.
Moving throughout the different locations has been made simple too once that location has been unlocked. A mini-map allows gamers to quickly get from one location to another. There isn't a lot of walking back and forth between locations, though which is always a bonus in point and click adventure games. The settings and visuals are somewhat 1990's old school for the most part, but have also been interspersed with some retro pixel art visuals in the mini games. The characters and location are somewhat surreal and give the game a not-so-serious undertone.
For a game developed by one person, I was rather impressed by the fact that all the dialogue in Paradigm is fully voiced. From the Eastern European accent of Paradigm himself, to the somewhat out-of-place-in-a-Russian-wasteland Aussie and British accents of characters in Paradigm's homeland of Krusz. Many of the characters have over-the-top accents, but it continues the humorous tone of the dialogue.
Nostalgic, with a hint of freshness
While playing Paradigm, I was having recollections of playing some of my favourite games of yesteryear. The surreal, yet hilarious characters could definitely become memorable pop-culture icons if this was made by a Triple-A development team with their huge marketing budgets. Paradigm does so many of the things that the golden era of point and click adventures did so well and makes it a worthwhile addition to the genre. The puzzles, the humorous storyline and characters, the fully voiced dialogue, the wonderful, somewhat retro visuals all combine to make Paradigm a modern day classic of its own. I sincerely hope that developer Jacob Janerka sees fit to produce a follow up title.
Hilarious, fully voiced dialogue
Puzzles are on the easy side

Q: Is there an optimal way to create logical columns from physical column using SQL query statement? I'm writing a SQL query using a table. My requirement is that I need to generate two logical columns from one physical column with certain conditions. In SQL how to generate two logical columns in final result set?
I have so far tried using sub-queries to derive those logical columns. But that sub-query returns error when incorporate it as a column in main query.
Overall there are other tables which will be joined using SQL JOIN to derive respective columns.
Columns:

*

*CarrierName NVARCHAR(10)

*MonthDate DATETIME

*Stage INT
Scenario:
In my SQL Server table there is a column called Stage of type int that contains values like 1, 2, 3, 4.
Now, I have two date criteria to apply on above column to derive two logical columns in final result set.
Criteria #1:
Get carriers from past 12 months and priors to past month end date and value of "CurrentStage" should be less than  and derive "PriorStage"
Example:
Current month is: March 2019 (2019-03-25) or any given date
Past latest month end date would be: 2019-02-28
12 months prior to above past latest month would be:
From 2018-02-01 To 2019-01-31
Criteria #2:
Get Carriers from past latest month end date and derive "CurrentStage"
While writing two independent SQL SELECT statements I get my desired results.
My challenge is when I think them to integrate in one select statement.
I get this error:

Subquery returned more than 1 value. This is not permitted when the subquery follows =, !=, <, <= , >, >= or when the subquery is used as an expression

Code:
DECLARE @DATE DATETIME
SET @DATE = '2018-08-25';

--QUERY 1 - RECORDS WITH PREVIOUS MONTH END DATE
SELECT
    T1.CarrierName AS 'Carrier_Number',
    T1.Stage AS 'Monitoring_Stage–Current'
FROM
    table1 T1
WHERE
    T1.Stage IS NOT NULL AND
    CONVERT(DATE, T1.MonthDate) = CONVERT(DATE, DATEADD(D, -(DAY(@DATE)), @DATE))

--QUERY 2 - RECORDS FROM PAST 12 MONTHS PRIOR PREVIOUS MONTH END DATE
SELECT
    T2.CarrierName,
    T2.Stage AS 'Monitoring_Stage–Prior'
FROM
    table2 T2
WHERE
    T2.Stage IS NOT NULL AND
    CONVERT(DATE, T2.MonthDate) BETWEEN CONVERT(DATE, DATEADD(M, -12, DATEADD(D, -(DAY(@DATE)), @DATE)))
                                    AND CONVERT(DATE, DATEADD(D, -(DAY(@DATE) + (DAY(DATEADD(D, -(DAY(@DATE)), @DATE)))), @DATE))
    AND T2.Stage) > (SELECT DISTINCT MAX(m.Stage AS INT))
                     FROM table1 m
                     WHERE CONVERT(DATE, m.MonthDate) = CONVERT(DATE, DATEADD(D, -(DAY(@DATE)), @DATE))
                       AND T2.CarrierName = m.CarrierName)

My final expected result set should contain below columns.
Where CurrentStage value is less than PriorStage value.
Expected Results
CarrierName   | CurrentStage | PriorStage
--------------+--------------+-------------
C11122        | 1            | 2
C32233        | 3            | 4

Actual Result
I am looking for alternatives. I.e. CTE, Union, temp table etc.
Something like:
SELECT
    CarrierName,
    Query 1 Result As 'CurrentStage',
    Query 2 Result As 'PrioreStage'
FROM
    table1

To improve this post, I am adding my response here. My resolution below for this posted question is still under evaluation hence not posting it as my final answer. But it really brought a light to my effort.
RESOLUTION:
SELECT
    DISTINCT M.CarrierName, A.[CurrentStage], B.[PriorStage]
    FROM
    --QUERY 1 - RECORDS WITH CURRENT MONTH END DATE
(SELECT M.CarrierName, M.CarrierID
    , Stage AS 'CurrentStage'
    FROM table1 M
    WHERE M.Stage IS NOT NULL AND
    CONVERT(date, M.MonthDate) = CONVERT(date, DATEADD(D,-(DAY(@DATE)), @DATE))
)
A **inner join**
(
--QUERY 2 - RECORDS FROM PAST 12 MONTHS PRIOR CURRENT MONTH END DATE
SELECT M2.CarrierName, M2.CarrierID
    , Stage AS 'PriorStage'
    FROM table1 M2
    WHERE M2.Stage IS NOT NULL AND
    CONVERT(date, M2.MonthDate) BETWEEN CONVERT(date, DATEADD(M, -12, DATEADD(D,-(DAY(@DATE)), @DATE)))
                                            AND CONVERT(date, DATEADD(D,-(DAY(@DATE)+(DAY(DATEADD(D,-(DAY(@DATE)), @DATE)))), @DATE))
    AND M2.Stage > (SELECT DISTINCT max(m.Stage)
                                                  FROM table1 m
                                                  WHERE CONVERT(date, m.MonthDate) = CONVERT(date, DATEADD(D,-(DAY(@DATE)), @DATE)) AND
                                                  M2.CarrierName = m.CarrierName
                                                 )

) B on b.Carrier_Number = a.Carrier_Number
INNER JOIN table1 M ON A.CarrierID = M.CarrierID AND B.CarrierID = M.CarrierID

A deeper look into how Nike's latest ad is more than just marvellous narrations and appealing visuals.
Photo by George Pagan III on Unsplash
Nike, the renown sports brand, is celebrating sports and diversity with its latest advertisement. With a subtle yet powerful message in the line "We are never alone", Nike beautifully delivers a message that sports is not just an event but the way we sail through testing times. In just a minute and a half, this advertisement leaves the audience with hope and a sporting spirit.
By showcasing people from different sporting backgrounds and geographic regions, Nike does a wonderful job to illustrate a spirit of unity. With extra-ordinary visuals and a strong narration, it "highlights the power of sport and how it has the ability to bring us together and invite change". Not only this, but the ad also denotes LGBTQ rights when a person throwing rainbow colours is shown.
With a tagline "You can't stop sport. Because you can't stop us", the advertisement transcended all boundaries and reflects a bigger message of having a responsibility to make this world a better place. By capturing emotions, Nike explores specific issues including Covid and issues of race, gender and equality in a way that resonates with the audience, demonstrating itself as a socially conscious brand.
But what really makes this advertisement so different?
It is the underpinnings of the commercial that tries to illustrate a larger point. By using the split-screen format to demonstrate the same agonies and triumphs of athletes from almost every sport, Nike tries to showcase that everyone is equal, no matter their race, gender, sexual orientation, or even the sport they play.
By using emotional narration, the video addresses ongoing issues drawing a sense of community and allowing the consumers to resonate with it. By using emotional branding, it does an incredible job at making its customers relate to Nike as an optimistic brand. Instead of focusing on product promotions, Nike tries to induce emotions into its customer, building emotional loyalty.
Moreover, its context style is congruent to the type of advertisement. Its positive emotional context primes the customer's feeling and knowledge structures, enabling the elaboration of its brand messages that were already known and that did not require extensive cognitive elaboration. Nike improved its Advertising effectiveness by putting the right advertisement in the right context.
It's advertisement's media context serves as a primer to make consumers more susceptible to its advertisement. It is due to its media context that the audience processes its advertisement so intensively. By dropping a highly mood-congruent advertisement, Nike makes certain needs of the customer more salient and stimulates their motivation to pay attention. For Nike's customers, their need for resonating and feeling optimistic about the future is what stimulates their motivation to easily process the ad.
In order to compete with others, companies use creative and appealing advertisements to lure consumers. Such creative advertising maximizes their profits and provides a positive image to businesses. And this is exactly what Nike did beautifully. By utilising a combination of "thinking and feeling ads", Nike allows consumers to look at the advertising core from two perspectives: its advertising to inform, explain, remind, encourage, build its brand image in consumers minds and utilise its advertisement as a convincing tool to dramatically depict its brand personality as well as other brand attributes.
Well all in all, with over 17 million views on Twitter, Nike has once again proved itself for having the knack of doing the best storytelling.

With its consolidated cargo growing by 17%, India's largest port developer Adani Ports and SEZ Ltd (APSEZ) in the first quarter of 2015-16, ended June 30, on Monday reported a 13% increase in consolidated PAT as compared to the same period last fiscal.
Announcing the financial results, the company said here that consolidated cargo across all ports handled by the company was 40 million metric tons (MMT) in Q1 FY16. Consolidated total income increased by 32% to Rs 1897 crore while consolidated net profit grew 13% to Rs 641 crore.
In case of containers, the Mundra port handled 748,000 TEUs (681,000 TEUs) in a 10 % growth as compared to growth of 3% aggregate growth in container volumes at all the major ports.
APSEZ's twin ports of Hazira and Dahej handled cargo of 5.42 MMT, a growth of 22%.
Commenting on the results, Gautam Adani, Chairman, Adani Group, said, "The company's pan-India presence continues to expand and we have received the letter of award from the Government of Kerala for the development of the strategically located Vizhinjam port."
The company will undertake development and operation/maintenance work of the Vizhianjam International Deepwater Multipurpose Seaport Project on the PPP mode on DBFOT basis. This is a key strategic location to the world's container traffic that moves just 15 to 20 nautical miles from the port.
The Group recently announced demerger of the Group and moved away from its present 'holding company' structure and instead has four independently listed entities for the four major business segments. Adani Enterprises has demerged its ports, power and transmission businesses in APSEZL, Adani Power and Adani Transmission, respectively.
APSEZ recently raised USD 650 million in bonds which is the first investment grade issuance and the largest offering by an infrastructure company in India.

Bipartisan Senate Coalition Introduces Comprehensive Nuclear Waste Legislation
Washington, D.C. – U.S. Sens. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.), Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.), and Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), today introduced bipartisan legislation to safeguard and permanently dispose of the nation's stockpiles of spent nuclear fuel, which are currently accumulating at separate sites across the country.
"Nuclear energy is a vital part of America's energy portfolio and for far too long, the American taxpayer has been on the hook for the federal government's failure to implement an effective plan to handle the back-end of the nuclear fuel cycle," said Sen. Murkowski, chairman of the Energy and Natural Resources Committee. "This legislation is an important step toward advancing the use of nuclear power in America."
"I appreciate my colleagues' recognition that dealing with our nation's defense waste – more than half of which exists at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation in Washington – is an important priority. I look forward to a dialogue that helps break the gridlock in a manner that's guided by sound science and the important principles laid out by the Blue Ribbon Commission," said Senator Maria Cantwell, ranking member of the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources.
"If we want to continue to have low-cost, clean power from nuclear reactors, which today produce about 60 percent of our country's emission-free electricity, then we have to have a place to put the used nuclear fuel. That means we need to end the stalemate over what to do with our country's nuclear waste by finding a way to create both temporary and permanent storage sites that would complement other solutions," said Sen. Alexander, chairman of the Appropriations Subcommittee on Energy and Water Development. "This legislation, which is consistent with the president's Blue Ribbon Commission, would do that by allowing state and local governments to compete for these facilities and the good-paying jobs that come with them."
"The United States desperately needs a comprehensive nuclear waste policy. We simply cannot allow spent nuclear fuel to remain indefinitely at sites scattered throughout the country, stored at taxpayer expense, awaiting a clear path forward," said Sen. Feinstein, ranking member on the Appropriations Subcommittee on Energy and Water Development. "Our bill is rooted in a consent-based process, which means interim and permanent facilities will only be sited where they are welcome by state and local governments. The only way a waste policy can work is if the local communities are on board. This is a bipartisan approach, consistent with the recommendations of the Blue Ribbon Commission, and it is long overdue."
Among the provisions in the Nuclear Waste Administration Act of 2015 are:
Nuclear Waste Administration
Establishes an independent agency to manage the country's nuclear waste program in place of the Department of Energy. This Agency would be headed by an administrator appointed by the president and subject to Senate confirmation.
Consent-Based Process for Consolidated Storage Facilities and a Repository
Directs the agency to build a pilot storage facility to hold spent fuel from decommissioned nuclear power plants and emergency shipments from operating plants.
Directs agency to build consolidated storage facilities for non-priority spent fuel for utilities or defense wastes for DOE on a temporary basis.
Establishes siting processes for storage facilities and repositories.
Linkage Between Storage Facilities and Repository
Authorizes administrator to begin siting a pilot storage facility for priority waste immediately, and does not set waste volume restrictions on storage.
Provides that for 10 years following enactment, the administrator may continue to site new storage facilities for non-priority waste as long as funds have been obligated to carry out a parallel repository program.
After 10 years, the administrator may site new storage facilities only if at least one site has been selected for evaluation as a potential location for a permanent repository.
Nuclear Waste Fund
Establishes a new working capital fund in the U.S. Treasury, into which the fees collected from the utilities would be deposited.
These funds will be available to the administration without further appropriation. Fees already collected remain in the Nuclear Waste Fund, where they will continue to be subject to appropriation.
Defense Wastes
Authorizes Secretary of Energy to revisit decision to commingle defense waste with commercial spent fuel.
If the Secretary determines that separate waste facilities are necessary or appropriate for efficiently managing defense wastes, the Administrator may site, construct, and operate one or more facilities for that purpose in accordance with the siting-concurrence process in the act.

The Plausibility Debate Now Affects Homeopathic Education in France
11 months ago Dr Saurav Arora, MD
The Faculty of Medicine of Lille decides to suspend its diploma of University of homeopathy for the beginning academic year pending the position of the H.A.S. and national exchanges on the framing of this practice and its teaching.
Well, Not a Good News for Homeopathy in France! In a recent tweet by Lille University, it is stated that the university has decided to suspend the diploma in homeopathy for the year 2018 – 19. This issue has certainly risen out of the controversial position of homeopathy from plausibility point of view. With each passing year, we are observing the rise in usage of homeopathy across the globe but at the same time facing strong criticism at scientific and academic front.
The debate is heated now.
In April 2018, Health Minister Agnès Buzyn, French physician serving as the Minister of Solidarity and Health in the Philippe Government stated that "it is favorable to the maintenance of the reimbursement of homeopathy, which according to her medicine has "probably a placebo effect" but "does no harm" (translated originally from the link here.)
It was further stated that "There is always an evaluation of so-called complementary medicines, there is a working group at the health directorate that verifies that all these practices are not harmful, if it continues to be beneficial without being harmful. it will continue to be reimbursed."
A group of 124 healthcare practitioners appealed against "alternative medicine" and used the adjectives like unscientific, irrational, unethical and dangerous. The petitioners urge the Council of the Order of Physicians and public authorities to make every effort to no longer authorize the designation of doctors or health professionals who continue to promote them; no longer recognize in any way homeopathy, mesotherapy or acupuncture degrees such as medical diplomas or qualifications; no longer produce degrees in medical schools or health training institutions based on practices whose effectiveness has not been scientifically demonstrated; no longer pay social security contributions for care, medicine or treatment from disciplines that refuse to accept rigorous scientific evaluation; encourage information procedures on the nature of alternative therapies, their deleterious effects and their real effectiveness; require all caregivers to respect the ethics of their profession, by refusing to give unnecessary or ineffective treatment, by offering care in accordance with the recommendations of learned societies and the most recent data from science, by demonstrating pedagogy and honesty towards their patients and by offering a sympathetic listening. (Source: http://www.lefigaro.fr/vox/societe/2018/03/18/31003-20180318ARTFIG00183-l-appel-de-124-professionnels-de-la-sante-contre-les-medecines-alternatives.php?redirect_premium)
The Lille University has indicated in its tweet that the Haute Autorité de Santé (HAS) shall be consulted to make a decision on the practice and diplomas in the discipline. It is expected to have a final decision from the HAS by the end of February 20an 19.
La Faculté de Médecine de Lille décide de suspendre son Diplôme d'Université d'homéopathie pour l'année universitaire débutante dans l'attente de la position de la H.A.S. et d'échanges nationaux sur l'encadrement de cette pratique et de son enseignement.
— medecine_Ulille (@medecine_Ulille) August 31, 2018
The tweet has sparked the debate and the issue is of global concern now. On one side a specific lobby is a welcoming move, as this shall homeopathy at large in France and other parts of the world. On the other hand various authorities are in favor that the existing pool of evidence is sufficient to label homeopathy as plausbile, valid, scientific and effective, but it is the lobbyist of the skepticism and lack of knowledge which is triggering the hatred, non-acceptance, and rejection and if we don't answer such issues now, the heat is ready to spread to other parts of world too!
Your thoughts and inputs are welcome.

About Magic and the Memory Palace
On June 1, 2010 January 17, 2021 By konstapelIn Completed, History5 Comments
In the 5th century AD, Martianus Capella defined the Seven Liberal Arts: Grammar, Dialectic, Rhetoric, Geometry, Arithmetic, Astronomy, and (Musical) Harmony. The System of Capella became the model of the Medieval University.
The term liberal means "appropriate for free men". The Liberal Arts represented the kinds of skills and general knowledge needed by the Elite. The Servile Arts represented Specialized Tradesman Skills and knowledge needed by persons who were employed or owned by the Elite.
The Number Seven was not taken by Accident. This number represented the Seven Days of the Week, the Seven Spheres, the Seven Planets, the Seven Notes and the Seven Colors.
The Seven Planets of the old cosmology included the Sun (Sol) and the Moon (Luna), which we now don't regard as planets at all. The other Five were Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn, the 7th planet and the Son of the Sun.
In Ancient Babylonia, the Seven Spheres were represented by a Building , A Ziggurat, that looked like the Tower of Bable. This Babylonian Step Tower was a Visual Model of the StairWay to Heaven. The Seven Spheres were divided in three Heavens and three Hells with the Earth in the Middle. The Pyramids in Egypt are based on the same model.
The Three Heavens contained Three Hierarchies of Angels, Nine in total. At the Top, the Eight Step, the Creator was situated. Again the Creator consisted of three Entities, The Father, The Son and The Holy Gost (The Trinity).
As You can See the Number Three plays a very important role in the Ancient Models. The main reason could be that this number is the most efficient number when you want to create a Number System.
If you use this number as the Base System the Universe could be explained as Triangels within Triangels. With the help of the Trinity-Fractal Ancient models like the Tree of Life, and the Egyptian Pesedjet are easy to understand. The Trinity-Fractal comes back in modern Physics as the Triangel of Pascal. In Ancient China the Triangel of Pascal was called the Wei Chi. The Wei Chi was used to play the Game of GO.
In 1275 Raymond Lull designed a tool to Classify and Generate all the Knowledge of the Universe based on a Set of Nine (3×3) Concepts. His invention was described in his book Ars Magna ("The Ultimate General Art").
Raymond Lull.
Lull's logic machine consisted of a stack of concentric disks mounted on an axis where they could rotate independently. The disks, made of card stock, wood, or metal, were progressively larger from top to bottom. As many as 16 words or symbols were visible on each disk. By rotating the disks, random statements were generated from the alignment of words. Lull's most ambitious device held 14 disks.
The disk contained the Nine most important (Christian) Concepts of the Universe: Bonitas (Goodness), Magnitudo (Greatness), Eternitas (Eternity), Potestas (Power), Sapientia (Wisdom), Voluntas (Will), Virtus (Virtue), Veritas (Truth), and Gloria (Glory).
Lull's fame as a Mystic spread throughout Europe during the late Middle Ages and Renaissance. Centuries later, the German
mathematician Leibniz acknowledged the importance of Lull's Machine.
The idea for the machine came to Lull in a Mystical Vision that appeared to him after a period of fasting and contemplation. In reality, Lull may owe his Divine Inspiration to the Magi. They used a Device called the Zairja, an Idea Generator that used the 28 letters of the Arabic alphabet to represent the 28 Categories of Thought in Arab Philosophy.
In 1516 Thomas Moore published his book Utopia, a description of an Ideal State. Much later Tommaso Campanella (The City of the Sun), Francis Bacon (The New Atlantis) and Johannes Valentinus Andreae (Description of the Republic of Christianopolis) wrote comparable books. The books were based on Plato's Republic. All of the books contained Architectual Designs based on Ancient Geometries.
Around 1300 Wealthy and Powerfull Merchants (de Medici) in Italy regained interest in the Ancient Knowledge of the Egyptians, the Arab, the Greek and the Romans. This knowledge was almost completely destroyed by the Church of Rome.
Scientists, Poets and Artists (Petraca, Dante, Boccaccio) visited Byzantium and discovered ancient manuscripts written in Greek and Latin. Greek scholars were encouraged to come from Byzantium to Italy. Byzantium and Europe was ransacked for copies of the long unused Latin classics and copyists multiplied them.
Libraries were founded, and schools for the study of both Greek and Latin in their classic forms were opened at Rome, Mautua, Verona, and many other towns. After the fall of Constantinople in 1453 the proces gained a further impetus because of a number of Greek humanists who moved from Byzantium to Italy.
In 1462 the Platonic Academy was opened in Florence under the patronage of Florentine Duke Cosimo de' Medici. Its leader became Marcilio Ficino.
Around 1463 Cosimo de' Medici commissioned Marsilio Ficino to translate a book called the Pimander with high priority into Latin from a Greek manuscript brought from Macedonia. This book contained the Corpus Hermeticum that was attributed to Hermes Trismegistus.
Thot.
Hermes Trismegistus "Thrice-Wise"was named Thoth or Djehuti in Ancient Egypt. The Djed of Djehuti represents the Power of the Snake (the Kundalini) in the Spinal Column. Thoth was the Scribe of the Gods, the inventor of writing, and was usually depicted in hieroglyphics with the head of an Ibis Bird. This head of the IBIS carried the Moon, the Planet of the Mother God, The Night and of Magic.
At that time Scientists believed that the Older the Truth the Bettter. They believed there was once a Golden Age in which the Eternal Truth was known. From that time on History was in a Downfall until the time of the Resurrection.
Marsilio Fucino dated Hermes Trismegistus "long before the sages and philosophers of Greece, but yet after Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph". His dating of the Corpus "proved" that the writings of Hermes contained the Primal Source of Wisdom.
In 1945 Coptic fragments of the Corpus Hermeticum together with many other Gnostic Writings were found at Nag Hammadi, Egypt.
At this moment we know that the Corpus Hermeticus just like the Emerald Tablet ,another text dedicated to Hermes, was written in Alexandria around 200 BC.
Alexandria, created by Alexander the Great, was the place where the Ancient Knowledge of Heliopolis ,the City of the Sun, was stored in its immense libraries after its destruction. A part of this library was later moved to Byzantium, the Center of the East when the library of Alexandria was destructed.
The most important message of Hermes is that the Physical World is the Manifestation of the Spiritual World. This is summarized in the Hermetic adage "As above, so below." At this moment we would name the concept of "As Above, So Below" a Self-Reference or a Fractal. The old Scientists knew that one Concept returned on every Level of Our Inside and Outside Reality.
The Corpus Hermeticus provided a seminal force in the development of Renaissance thought and culture. After the Dark Middle Ages, controlled by the Rule System of the Church of Rome, the Scientists started to do their Own Research and Thinking.
The Cycle of Culture moved from the Stage of Order to the Stage of Imagination.
Gordiano Bruno
One of these Scientists was Giordano Bruno. Bruno was born in 1548. At the age of 17, he entered the Dominican Order, was trained in the Liberal Arts of that time and became an ordained priest in 1572 at age 24. During his time in Naples he became known for his skill with the Art of Memory and on one occasion traveled to Rome to demonstrate his System before Pope Pius V and Cardinal Rebiba.
The Art of Memory belonged to the rhetoric tradition as a technique which enabled the orator to deliver long speeches from memory with unfailing accuracy.
At that time people had to Learn a lot of information by Heart. To do this they used a Mnemonic System called a Memory Palace. The memory images were linked with visualized locations that could be found in architecture, books, sculpture and painting, which were seen by practitioners of the Art of Memory as Externalizations of Internal Memory.
Artists used the Images that were part of the Memory Palace as a reference. The Images were linked with Universal Concepts. In the time of Middle Ages and the Renaissance people knew the Meaning of every Image that was used. Geometric Structures, Paintings, Poems and Buildings were carriers of many Levels of Meaning. Some of these levels were only known by the Inner Circle of Ancient Secret Societies.
In the old days the Inside World was seen as the most important place to Explore. The Outside was nothing but a Projection of the Inside.
Examples of Ancient Memory Palaces are Ancient Egypt, the City of Meru (Sri Yantra), the City of Heliopolis, the Babylonian Ziggurat, the Egyptian Pyramid, The Temple of Solomon, and the most important Memory Palace, the Zodiac. In the Middle Ages Cathedrals (Chartres), Palaces (Alhambra) and Temples (Taj Mahal) were designed and used as Memory Palaces.
"Some place is chosen of the largest possible extent and characterised by the utmost possible variety, such as a space house divided into a number of rooms. Everything of note therein is carefully committed to the memory…The next step is to distinguish something [to be remembered] by some particular symbol which will serve to jog the memory…. These symbols are then arranged as follows. The first thought is placed, as it were, in the forecourt; the second, let us say, in the living-room; the remainder are placed in due order all round… and entrusted not merely to bedrooms and parlours, but even to the care of statues and the like. This done, as soon as the memory of the facts requires to be revived, all these places are visited in turn and the various deposits are demanded from their custodians, as the sight of each recalls the respective details" (Quintilian Institutio Oratoria, Book XI).
The Art of Memory was a very important Art because Manuscripts were very rare and the use of Manuscripts and Symbols was seen as the major cause of the detoriation of society. Books produced "fake" scientists who are not wise but only appear to be wise.
"For this invention will produce forgetfulness in the minds of those who learn to use it, because they will not practise their memory. Their trust in writing, produced by external characters which are not part of themselves, will discourage the use of their own memory within them. You have invented an elixir not of memory but of reminding; and you offer your pupils the appearance of wisdom, not true wisdom, for they will read many things without instruction and will therefore seem to know many things, when they are for the most part ignorant and hard to get along with, since they are not wise, but only appear wise" (Plato, Phaedrus).
Giulio Camillo was one of the most famous men of the 16th century. With a commission of 1200 ducats from the King of France, Francois I, he created a theatre that contained divine powers: whoever entered the theatre would emerge with a complete memory of all the knowledge that had ever existed. The design of his theatre is described in his book L'idea del teatro written in 1554, the last year of his life. The theatre consisted of Seven Levels and contained the complete Knowledge of the Corpus Hermeticum.
"Following the order of the creation of the world, we shall place on the first levels the more natural things…those we can imagine to have been created before all other things by divine decree. Then we shall arrange from level to level those that followed after, in such a way that in the seventh, that is, the last and highest level shall sit all the arts… not by reason of unworthiness, but by reason of chronology, since these were the last to have been found by men" (Guilio Camillo).
At the time of Gordiano Bruno Copernicus detected that the Sun was the Center of our Planetary System. His discovery was in conflict with the Theories that were educated at the Universities that were controlled by the Church of Rome.
Gordiano Bruno saw that the new theories were in line with the teachings of the Corpus Hermeticum in which the Sun (of Heliopolis) was in the Center. Bruno started to Fuse the Knowlegde of the Corpus Hermeticum with his already highly advanced Memory System.
At that time the power of the Church of Rome was going down rapidly. Europe was divided by religious wars between Catholics and Protestants. The merchants, bankers and artisans of Europe's largest cities and towns resented the fact that local bishops of the Church controlled all of their commercial and economic activities.
Priests married and then took mistresses, holy offices were bought and sold for the highest price, incompetence among the clergy became the rule, the congregation of more and more people in towns and cities perhaps exposed the amorality and immorality of the clergy.
Gordiano Bruno believed he had to create a new Religion based on the Ancient foundation of Religion he found in Egypt.
Gordiano was a free-thinker and he never stopped expressing his own believes. When he learned that an indictment was being prepared against him in Naples he fled the convent and started to travel Europe. He visited the French King Henry III, the English Queen Elizabeth, Wittenburg , the Center of the Protestant Movement, the city of Prague and Emperor Rudolf II.
Jon Dee.
At every place he came he started to educate the others in his Expanding (forbidden) Vision of the Infinite Universe. At every place his free-thinking brought him into a conflict and he had to move on.
In 1592 he was lured to Venice, arrested by the Inquisition and transported to Rome. In 1600 he was convicted and publicly burned at the Campo de' Fiori in Rome. In 1889 a Statue was erected at the place of his execution.
There is no evidence that Giordiano Bruno met John Dee when he was in England but he was in contact with the most important people that were part of the "Hermetic Circle" of John Dee. There is a lot of evidence that Bruno was the creator of the Rosicrusians.
Bruno's books on the Art of Memory were in reality Courses in the Solar Magic taught by Hermes Trismegistus.
Bruno knew that the most important tools of the Magician are the Power of his Imagination and the Connection with the Major Powers in the Hierarchy in the Heavens, the ArchAngels and the Demiurg, the Creator of the Matrix.
The System of Bruno was created to make is possible to generate powerfull images and Magical Rituals to make the Right Connection (Bonding) with the Major Creators of the Universe we live in.
"There are three gates through which the hunter of souls (the Magician) ventures to bind: vision, hearing and mind or imagination. If it happens that someone passes through all three of these gates, he binds most powerfully and ties down most tightly." "He who enters through the gate of hearing is armed with his voice and with speech, the son of voice. He who enters through the gate of vision is armed with suitable forms, gestures, motions and figures. He who enters through the gate of the imagination, mind and reason is armed with customs and the arts." (Giordano Bruno, Theses de Magia, Vol. LVI).
Robert Fludd was born in England in 1574, thirty years after Giordano Bruno was born. Between 1598 and 1604, Fludd studied the Liberal Arts on the European mainland. Robert Fludd was one of the last Hermetic Scientists of the Renaissance. In his life he tried to describe everything that was known until that day. Robert Fludd was a Rosicrucian.
One of his products is a Musical Memory Palace and a Memory Theatre, the Globe, that was used by Lord Chamberlain's company to which Shakespeare belonged. In the view of Fludd a theatrical play was a Projection of a part of a Memory Palace. The Theatre was a tool to educate the Elite (and the Masses) into the Hermetic Whole.
Robert Fludd, The Temple of Music
The work of Bruno and Fludd was taken over by many other Scientists but the relationship between the Art of Memory and Magic slowly faded away.
At the end of the Renaissance Reason, Logic, became much more important than the Seven Liberal Arts. The Scientists of the Age of Enlightment wanted to get rid of the Delusions of the Imagination. The only thing that counted were Facts observed by the Senses.
Leibniz (1646-1716) was one of the exceptions. He was an Old Fashioned Renaissance Magician and believed in the Harmony of the Spheres. He invented many theories that proved his Point of View and are now proven to be Right.
He believed that scholarship or "perfect knowledge of the principle of all sciences and the art of applying them " could be divided into three equally important parts : the Art of Reasoning, the Art of Inventing (Combinatorics) and the Art of Memory and the Imagination (Magic). He even wrote an unpublished manuscript about the Art of Memory.
Leibniz got into a big conflict with Newton about the Role of the Imagination and Scientific Discovery in Society. Afther his death Newton and his Protectors, the Medici of Florence, started an effective campaign to prove that Newton was the inventor of the Theories of Leibniz. This is the reason why Newton became the major Scientist of his time.
After the Renaissance, the Stage of the Imagination, the Cycle of Culture moved to the Stage of the Emotions, the Time of the French Revolution. The Old Social Structures of Europe started their big Transformation.
Around 1740 the Industrial Revolution started in England and the Theories of Newton, Descartes and Kant about the Cold Mechanical Reasoner without Feeling and Imagination took the Lead. The ultimate products of the Industrial Revolution, the Computer and the related Factory-Model are now the Leading Paradigm.
The link between the Machine that Controls and Generates our Universe (the Yantra), the Ideas/Concepts that govern our Universe and the related mostly Astronomical Symbols is now completely lost.
Almost nobody is able to understand and value the Ancient Knowledge of Heliopolis that Scientists like Gordiano Bruno and Robert Fludd were trying to reconstruct during the Renaissance.
The Medici and their Successors, the Big Bankers and Merchants, finally succeeded in the Destruction of the Imagination and the Emotions.
Starting 1950 the Cycle is moving into a new Renaissance.
After the Invention of Quantum Mechanics (inspired by Robert Fludd) it becomes clearer and clearer that The Imagination is the Major Power that Creates and Sustains our Universe.
The Ideas of Bruno, Fludd, Plato, the Corpus Hermeticum and the Ancient Knowledge of Heliopolis are coming Back.
One of the most interesting scientists of the Art of Memory is Alan Turing. He constructed a very simple machine now called a Turing Machine that contained a Memory and a Writing Device that could move backwards and forwards. With the help of this simple Device Turing was able to solve many Mathematical Problems. At the end of his Life just before he committed suicide he started to research Morphology, the Science of the Forms.
The Current University System is highly fragmented. It needs a general principle to Unite all the now diverging Subjects of Investigation. The complexity of our Science is enormous. The link between Science, Art and Religion is gone. We are in the same state as the World was at the end of the Middle Ages.
Perhaps we could introduce the Memory Palace again. It would certainly help to improve the Memory of the Students who are now Copying and Pasting the Internet.

The Book the Jesus Mysteries written by Timothy Freke and Peter Gandy is a highly controversial book. It states that the person Jesus never existed.
The Concept of Christ was copied out of the very Old Mystery Religions of Persia (Mithras) and Egypt (Osiris).
The Merger of the Many Mystery Cults took place in Alexandria, the new Capital of Egypt, founded by Alexander the Great in 334 BC. The former capital of Egypt was Heliopolis.
Alexandria was the home to the largest Jewish Community in the world. They produced the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible, the Septuagint, between the 3rd an 1st century BC.
Most of the Jewish people in Asia spoke Greek and were not able to read the original Torah anymore. The writers of the New Testament based their writing on the Greek Version. Later it was shown that this version contained many translation errors.
Alexandria was the seat of the oldest school of Christian religion in the world, the Didascalia. It was founded around AD 190 by the scholar Pantaenus, who became its first dean.
It is very likely that the texts of Old and the New Testament were highly influenced by the Religions of Persia (Mitrash) and Egypt (Osiris). The Jews spend a long time in Persia (Babylonia) and the Religion of Moses originated at Heliopolis, the Old Sacred Religious Center of Egypt.
The most important concept of Heliopolis was the Ennead (Greek Ἐννεάς) or Pesedjet (Egyptian) meaning the Nine. The Ennead consists of a grouping of nine deities, most often appearing in the context of Egyptian mythology. The group consisted of Atum, the first god, his children Shu and Tefnut, and their descendants Geb, Nut, Osiris, Isis, Set, and Nephthys.
The story of the Ennead is illustrated in the so called Pyramid Texts, the oldest religious texts on earth (2400-2300 BCE):
O Atum-Kheprer, you were high on the height, you rose up as the bnbn-stone in the Mansion of the bn-bird in On, you spat out Shu, you spit out Tefnut, and you set your arms about them as the arms of a ka-symbol, that your essence might be in them….
O you Great Pesdjet, Ennead, which is on On, namely Atum, Shu, Tefnut, Geb, Nut, Osiris, Isis, Set, and Nephthys; O children of Atum, extend his heart to his child in your name of Nine Bows. Let him be turned back from you toward Atum….
If we look closely at the Ennead it contains a very old pattern.
Atum is a Bisexual Self-Creating Entity associated with the Primal Void. Atum creates Two "children" called Shu and Tefnut. Shu was Male and associated with Space (Sky). Tefnut (Water) was the first Mother and associated with the Flow of Time.
Atum, Shu and Tefnut are the Trinity (Father, Mother, Holy Ghost (Atum)) or in the Terminology of Current Physics Strings (Space), Energy (Time) and the Singularity.
The Trinity produces Two children called Geb (Earth) and Nut (Heaven). It is very clear that Shu, Tefnut, Geb and Nut are the Four Elements of Nature.
They are constructed by combining Tefnut (Female, Yin) and Geb (Male, Yang) in Four different Ways (Yin/Yin (Tefnut, Desire)), Yang/Yang (Shu, Control), Yang/Yin (Nut, Spirit, Imagination) and Yin/Yang (Geb, Soul, Emotion)).
The next step in the process of Creation is the Eight (2x2x2). The Eight, the Ogdoad, are related to the Eight Chakras (7+1, the One, Atum) and the Seven (+1) Parallel Universes or Heavens.
The Names and the Meaning of the Four Elements are different in different occurences of Space (Culture) and Time (History) but the Concept stays the same. Some of the Cultures use Five Elements. If this happens the Fifth Element is always the Center of the Four Elements.
The Four Elements are always used to explain the Forces of Physical Nature. A well known discussion in Physics around 1900 was about the existence of the fifth Element called Ether. Einstein proved that this element did not exist because the Morrison-Morle experiments showed that the Speed of Light was not bothered by the Ether.
At this moment a growing number of Physicists believe the experiments of Morrison & Morley were wrong and the Ether (now called Zero-Point Energy) is really there.
The Elements were used in Medicine (the four Humors) and are still used in Psychology (the Archetypes of Jung). In the terminology of current Science the Elements are called the Four Forces of Nature (The Strong Force, The Weak Force, Gravity and Electro-Magnetism).
The difference between the current ideas about Nature and the old Egyptian ideas of Nature have to do with Levels and Boxes. At this moment we believe that Our Reality consists of many more or less independent Boxes that are ordered in a Hierarchical Structure.
The Old Egyptian Scientists believe in One Principle that was active on every Level. They believed in the process of Enfolding. In current terminology we could say that the Old Scientists believed in a Fractal or a Self-Referencing Universe.
Thinking in terms of Fractals and Self-Reference is very difficult when you believe in a Hierarchical Causal Structure. The Big problem with this Paradigm is that it leads to highly complex models. More important this Scientific Approach leads to a Worldview where Mind, Body, Nature, Science and Religion are completely disconnected.
The Old Scientist of Egypt used a Theory of Everything. Something Physical Science is looking for for many years. It is therefore not strange that important Physicists are using the Old Theories for Inspiration and start to believe that the Old Scientists were more advanced than we thought they were.
I believe they are Right. The only thing that is bothering us is their Language and their Metaphors. We have to spend a lot of time to Map their Universe of Discourse to ours.
To explain the last Four Deities we have to move a long way back to China.
The Nine-Fold pattern appears at the same time as the Pyramid Texts (2500 BC) in China and is represented by a Magic Square. This Magic Square was given by a Turtle (the Symbol of Orion) before the Great Deluge to a Chinese Emperor named Lo Chi.
Chi is the Chinese name for the Force of Life. According to Legend Lo Chi came from the Magical Land of Mu. Mu is the predecessor of the Lost Continent of Atlantis.
The name of the Magical Square is Shu, just like the Egyptian Deity of Control and Order.
The so called Lo-Shu Square represents a Control Cycle (called The Sheng Cycle). This Cycle was the Basic Pattern of all the Old Sciences in China. It is also a generator of Magical Tones (The Tools of Creation of Mu).
Tefnut, the Female Principle was represented in China by the Game Board. She represents Coincedence, Luck and Chaos, the Opposite of Order. The Chinese believed that the interference of the Circle of Shu and the Square of Tefnut created Synergy (Wu Wei).
A Wise Person only Acts at the Right Time and at the Right Place.
This Special Moment appears when Time and Space, Shu & Tefnut, Control and Desire, are in Perfect Balance.
The Sum of the Magical Quadrant is 15 (3×5). The Five, the Pentagle, Atum, is situated in the Middle.
The Cycle shows the Movement from the Void (0), the Point (1, Atum), the Line (1+1 = 2, Duality, Control & Desire), the Triangle (1+2=3, the Trinity), the Square (4, 2×2, the Four Forces) to the Pentangle (3+2 = 4+1 = 5, the Symbol of the Five Fold Being, the Human, the Image of God).
The Last Four Children of Atum, the numbers 6,7,8 and 9 are the Mirrors of the Four Elements.
They are Mirrors because the Sum of two Children is 10. Child 6 in the Upper Cycle corresponds with Child 4 in the Down Cycle.
The other important issue is the Rotation of the Cycle. The children rotate in a different way (Clock Wise and Anti-Clockwise).
When we combine the two rotational patterns a well-known Topological Structure appears, the Moebius Ring with the Atum in the Middle.
The Children live in the Downside of our Upside Universe called the Tuat, the Underworld.
The Four Children are responsible for the Path of Death and Reincarnation. Seth represents Destruction and Death.
Nephthys is associated with Mourning and Funerary Rituals.
Isis is the Queen of Magic. She restores the 42 parts (4+ 3×13), the Sri Yantra) of Osiris. Osiris, the Good Shephard, represents the Nine, the End of the Cycle, The Resurrection.
The Resurrection of Osiris brings us finally back to the Story of Jezus.
The Nine-Fold Pattern of Lo Shu is also the basic pattern behind the Labyrint and the Earth Grid.
It is also the Basic Pattern of Ancient Story Telling discovered by Marie-Louise Von Franz who took over the Work of Jung (Number and Time: Reflections Leading Toward a Unification of Depth Psychology and Physics).
The First Four Deities represent the well-known Four Elements or the Four Forces (with the Void in the Middle) but the last Four Children of Atum are unknown. They are related to the Underworld, the Place where the Souls exist when they are reincarnated. There is a Physical explanation possible with far reaching consequences.
Current Physics is unable to explain the so called Dark Matter. A Huge amount of Matter in our Universe is affecting Gravity but Invisible. An explanation is the existence of Seven Mirror-Universes (7+1, 1= Atum, the One).
These Universes look like our Universe but they are equipped with a different Symmetry. During Creation the Universes took their own course.
The Four Forces of the Underworld could be associated with our Mirrors. If this theory is true the Invisible Mirror Universe is the place where the Souls exist in their period of Re-Generation.
They are able to communicate through the Void of Atum (now called a Worm-Hole) with our Universe.
The Mystery Religions are not Theoretical. They are Aimed at Experiencing the Mystery of God. The Nine-Fold pattern is about the Enfolding of the Primal Void into the many Levels (42) of the Material World. The pattern also describes a Way Back.
The first Trinity was a Union of the Opposites with the Void in the Middle. To Move Back into the Void the Human Opposites, Mind and Body, have to be united again in the Heart. If this has happened the next step is to unite the Opposites in the Material World.
This all can be summarized in a Simple Statement of the Parsi-Religion, the old Cult of Mitrash: Good Thoughts, Good Words and Good Deeds.

Young Talents: Lisa Konno, Olivier van Herpt and Manon van Hoeckelat Dutch Design Award Night.
Maison the Faux at Amsterdam Fashion Week. Maison the Faux is a fairly new label which showed for the second time at Amsterdam Fashion Week, they presented their newest collection "Make a U-turn if possible" for Spring 2015 at the Transformatorhuis, the smallest catwalk at Amsterdam Fashion Week. It's hard to describe this show, we won't even try. Luckily we made a short movie so you can see and hear for yourself. Important part of this show were the musical performers; Steal Me, three ladies with great voices and the same amount of hysterical power as the collection and the setting of the show at the Transformatorhuis.
Designers Joris Suk and Hans Hutting presented a romantic collection with a nineties-hippie-rave vibe to it (to put it in a nutshell). Lingerie-inspired shapes and fabrics with romantic touches, such as for example chrochet and ostrich leather (in violet) passed us by. Combined with more down-to-earth prints (made with fashion illustrations) and sturdy jeans which were soft, over-sized, bell bottomed, bleached, torn and ripped to complete the total look. (We saw these jeans at their first show last season; maybe they are a Maison the Faux "Basic"?), With all garments being detailed to the bone there was a lot to see! Maison the Faux has many ideas and we love the fact that they want to share them with us in just one show (styled by Ruud van der Peijl). But, more importantly, they managed well to mould all these ideas into one collection. In our opinion they showed the full package, including ravishing jewelry and bags.


From 1994 to 2000 I led Short Term Missions trips (from 1 week to 3 months) with Adventures In Missions (AIM). Annually I went to Mexico. This is a picture from 1997. I have only a few pictures of that time before digital cameras.
I love AIM. From 2000 to 2007 I helped with various trainings.
In 2006 I was invited to join the board and have so appreciated the opportunity Twice a year a join a group of guys who are interested in missions.
At every board meeting I am amazed by the changes and growth in ministry. This October was no exception. While we were having our board meeting . . . .
A wonderful conference was happening outside our doors in a big tent . . .
AIM is doing great things.
I love getting to be a little part . . .
But oh how I do miss my colleagues from days past, I am of a different generation now.
Celebrating being a part of AIM for over 15 years.
Thanks for being a part of the AIM family, Liza… and for the kind words about the ministry. I am with you – grateful for getting to be a part of this. Glad the board meeting went well.
Great to hear from you Jeff. These are good days with AIM.


Geoverbund - Aktuelles - Postdoc Position "INTEGRATE: 3D integrated model of the Alps and their forelands"
Postdoc Position "INTEGRATE: 3D integrated model of the Alps and their forelands"
The Research Group "Geophysics and Geoinformation" of the Institute of Geosciences at the Christian–Albrechts-University in Kiel (Germany) invites applications for a Postdoc Position in the subproject "INTEGRATE: 3D integrated model of the Alps and their forelands".
The overall goal of the joint project which is conducted in close cooperation with colleagues from the GFZ (Session 6.1 "Basin Modelling") is to develop a consistent 3D lithospheric model for the Alpine orogeny and both foreland basin systems by integrating constraints from geophysical geological and petrological observations. This data-based 3D structural model resolving the first-order contrasts in physical properties of the crust and the underlying mantle will be the basis to derive conclusions on the rheological state of the system.
To achieve these goals a crucial prerequisite is the creation of a unified database that implies (1) a collection of existing potential field data (both gravity and gradients), but also (2) petrophysical parameters (surface densities) and (3) and fault patterns at the surface. The control of outliers and systematic datum shift errors of the gravity field and its gradients can be done by integrating new GOCE observations. They provide a unified and consistent database for the long wavelengths (80 km resolution) and can be also used to control terrestrial observations in the Alps.
Create a unified database for the Alps and beyond from terrestrial and GOCE satellite data.
Compilation of surface density database and detailed information on near-surface structure for gravity processing and isostatic investigations.
Identification of Alpine fault patterns on different scales, investigation of basement of Alpine valleys and fault characteristics through constrained gravity/magnetic field inversion.
The position is, in principle, suitable for part-time employment.
Please submit your application by 01 October 2017 quoting the reference (INTEGRATE-Kiel) via email to joerg.ebbing@ifg.uni-kiel.de and hajo.goetze@ifg.uni-kiel.de; please, combine your application documents into a single PDF file.
If you have any questions regarding this job offer, please feel free to call us at +49 341-880 -2823 or +49 341-880 -3805.

Luke and Matt Goss have responded after the documentary on their band Bros received three BAFTA nominations yesterday.
The band went viral last Christmas after the BBC film After The Screaming Stops was broadcast, giving rise to a series of memes based on the pair's memorable one-liners.
Writing on Twitter, Luke said he was "blown away" by the three nominations the film received for Specialist Factual, Directing and Editing. He also added that he was "sincerely honoured" before congratulating his brother and the team behind the documentary.
Last month, Bros revealed that they had plans to make a new documentary and are currently in negotiations with a major label over plans to record new music. "We're gonna jump in the studio very, very soon and get our heads down," Matt said during an appearance on Lorraine.


Permits can be bewildering as to what, when, where, whom and even why. The requirements are frequently changing. RR Inc can advise you on these issues, guide you through them, or even perform as your Agent such that it is a relatively painless process. Permits do take time to get, so they are critical in project planning. Site visits are enough to outline this process and costs from the beginning.

FC Brickstand: Would you support a football team made entirely of Lego?
Home Sport FC Brickstand: Would you support a football team made entirely of Lego?
There aren't many football fans around who can say they have seen their team built from nothing, but FC Brickstand supporters certainly can.
The entirely Lego-based football club, created by Chris Smith, 35, a teaching assistant from Altrincham, already has more than 1000 followers on Twitter since its inception in April, capturing people's attention with astonishing attention to detail.
Yes, the team have a board of directors, and that's only the tip of the iceberg.
FC Brickstand play in the Diorama Conference (division five of Lego football for those unaware) and host games at Brick Lane stadium, while Lego are an official affiliate partner of the club.
Before the process of creating a Lego football club came about, Chris began his mission to build all 92 English league and Scottish Premiership grounds from Lego.
He told the Press Association that FC Brickstand is "almost an extension of the original project, and a desire to explore further what could be done that mixed football and Lego".
Fan involvement is the name of the game, with management and kit some of the things supporters have been given control over, but there's nothing they can do about the results against other teams in the division, from Athletic Buildbao to Plastic Thistle.
"(Results are) based on the outcome of real games that are played, but these are chosen beforehand so that I can't interfere with the outcome!" said Chris.
As a result, FC Brickstand have failed to win a game so far, with defeats to Olymbrick De Marseille and Brickin City bringing supporters back down to earth with a bump.
Such teething problems are natural for a club in its infancy however, and results are sure to come as the club builds its reputation – and if not, there's always something to look at in between games.

Cannabis edibles, extracts, topicals and vapors on their way: B.C.
National The Staff • December 25, 2019 • Views 117 • Comments off Share
VICTORIA — British Columbia's government says the first batch of legal marijuana edibles, extracts and topical will soon be available for purchase, two months after they were legalized in Canada.
The province says it received its first shipments of the products Wednesday and has made them available to private and public retailers via its wholesale customer portal.
The Ministry of Attorney General says consumers can expect to see them on store shelves by the end of the month, based on shipping schedules.
The province's liquor control branch is the only wholesale distributor of non-medical cannabis in B.C.
Although it has registered more than 260 different products under the newly legal categories, the ministry says only a small number are expected to be available for retail sale within the first few months of 2020.
It says a number of factors influence product availability, including the ability of manufacturers to meet demand from other markets across Canada.
While edibles, oils, topicals, hash and other cannabis goods became legal in October, Solicitor General Mike Farnworth has previously said they would not be available in retail outlets until January.
The delay is based on 60 days' notice that producers must provide to Health Canada of their intention to sell the products.
Beverages, tea bags, chocolates, cookies, vaporizers and cartridges are among the new products to be released.
Consumers can also now buy other extracts, such as shatter and hashish, as well as cannabis-infused topicals that can be applied to the skin, hair or nails, the province says.
Oils and capsules legalized in 2018 have been reclassified as extracts.
The province requires the new products to have the same plain, child proof packaging approved by Health Canada that are in place for existing cannabis products. They must include information about the product's THC and CBD content, health warnings, and bear the cannabis symbol.
The new products are supplied by 24 producers and the liquor distribution branch says it's working with more than 40 licensed producers to form its entire wholesale product assortment.
Beginning Jan. 1, the provincial sales tax on vapour products will increase to 20 per cent from seven per cent.


A quintessential Indian family often spends several years in a rental home before they move into a home of their own. Rental properties are hugely in demand in a country like India where the population is so high that even the tiniest apartments in the remotest area sell like hot cakes.
Over the years, the owners as well as the tenants have become more aware of their duties and responsibilities and with that came the need of a good rental agreement. Drafting any valid legal document has always been considered a task for the lawyers, but the last few years saw a shift from that trend. More and more homeowners have opted to oversee or draft the document themselves because only you can understand your needs best.
For those among you who are looking for the best way to draft one yourself, we're glad to tell you that pre-drafted, easy to create rental agreements are now available with us.
Moving on, rental deeds can be tricky to construct. Both tenant and owner must make sure that they've included all the points relevant to both parties to avoid ugly battles and Bollywood style fights later.
So let's take a look at five things that must be covered in a rental document.
What Should Be Included In A Rental Document?
This one is a no brainier, but it's hard to avoid. While everyone knows that it is vital to include names of all tenants and the name of the owner himself, not many are aware of the implications that follow when it is not done properly. Spellings, precise details of address, related information play a vital role.
A good rental deed will require that the monthly rent, deposit to be paid in advance and maintenance charges (if any) to be clearly stated in fine print. You also need to make sure that you write down that the owner cannot just abruptly change the monthly rent during the duration of the lease. It will also be helpful if you got it in writing that the owner will return the deposit amount to you as and when the tenant vacates. What if the owner tells you that he won't return your money because there is no written document saying that he should give the deposit back to you? You shall find yourself in a very frustrating situation then.
Write down, word by word, the conditions under which the owner can barge into the tenant's space. Clauses like "the owner can visit the said premises as and when he sees fit" are dangerous. You will not be able to do anything if he comes into your home in the middle of the night. Hence, the need for clarity on this.
Some like pets while some others dislike the very idea of having an animal within their abode. Agreements are to clearly mention whether pets are allowed. And if they are allowed, what kind can they be and the maximum number possible. Some owners are okay with pets that can be contained to a particular area like fishes, birds or even turtles. Some owners are totally fine about bigger and messier ones like canines, felines and get this, reptiles.
This one is for the protection of the owner mostly. Should either party indulge in scary and downright illegal/immoral behaviour, the contract should mention what actions will be undertaken against such behaviour. A possible way to avoid this it to clearly mention what kinds of behaviour should be avoided and what the repercussions would be.
There are five of the most essential things in a rental deed. Would be best if you add a clause stating that addition or removal of clauses can happen only with the consent of all parties involved.
How To Make A Rental Agreement Legally Valid And Enforceable?
Like most other legal documents, the rental deed too must be printed on stamp paper of required value. Once you have printed the document on stamp paper, place the signatures of parties involved and two witnesses on designated places. This completes the process of preparing a rental agreement. Your deed is now ready and will be held valid in any court in the country.
It is recommended to pay stamp duty and register the agreement at a Govt. Registrar office. In practice, the agreements for a duration of less than eleven months are rarely registered. However, if there is dispute later on and if you approach the court, you will be asked to pay a penalty of 10 times the applicable stamp duty before the case can be heard.
We strongly recommend that you take a look at our comprehensive, pre-drafted, lawyer verified rental deed that focuses on all possible events and contingencies. We also have the facility to print the deeds you need on stamp paper and deliver it to an address of your choice. We also take this opportunity to inform you that we have a host of other legal documents which can be easily customized to suit your requirements. Good luck dear reader, we hope your pursuit for the ideal rental home, bears fruit.
Apart from the things discussed above, there are a few other things that both owner and tenant needs to know about the deed they are entering into. Here are some facts that you must keep in mind for your own good.
Rental deeds are subject to national legislation. This means that parties involved cannot act in a way that restricts basic rights. The owner should avoid including clauses which goes along the lines of something like "delay in paying for rent will result in water/ electricity being cut". If the owner insists on including similar clauses, now would be a good time to run.
You cannot evict a tenant for no apparent reason. The Supreme Court recently passed a law stating that an owner cannot evict a tenant for 5 years if the said tenant has been regular about paying rent or other bills. In short, eviction must always have a valid and strong reason behind it. Either the tenant has to be irregular about paying rent, or there has to be a breach, or there has be some illegal or immoral behaviour from the tenant's side, or the owner has a very valid reason for eviction.
For owners who are worried that their seemingly nice tenants may turn into a menace, the Leave and License agreement is a wise alternative. This is a legal document that declares that the lawful possession of the house or premises, remains with the owner. Hence, it is essentially a document that makes it crystal clear that the premises are being given to the tenant temporarily and that during the term of the lease, the owner shall continue to have possession of the property.
While both rental agreement and leave and license agreement allows a tenant to occupy a premise, the latter favours and protects the owner and clearly states that there is no transfer of interest of property. Our experts say that eviction is easier if there is a leave and licence agreement in place.
