Citizen's Power, National Security and the Intimidation of Civilians
Editorial*
Citizens' Power
Photo: www.hec.edu
Citizens in any nation should, in principle, be the true owners of power. Undoubtedly, they are the ones to reward or punish subversive behaviors or deeds contrary to the health and well-being of state's socio-political, socio-economic, socio-cultural and socio-intellectual development. In Africa, however, power is concentrated in the hands of the callous few, who wield it in a subversive manner and call it patriotism. Turning against citizens is treason not patriotism. And this treasonous expropriation of power by the elite political class uses national resources and institutions to effect this seed of national decay.
Shouldn't citizens speak up and regain their power from these callous traitors of national conscience? Shouldn't citizens stop the madness that's plundering national funds on expensive cars on impassable roads and mansions in foreign countries? Isn't it shameful and unconscionable that some hardly have anything to eat as others drive in hundred thousand sport utility vehicles? Isn't it shameful that some folks are sleeping in expensive hotels as mothers and children beg for food in the street or die of preventable diseases? Aren't you ashamed of yourself when workers go for months without salaries as you sleep in a hotel paid for by the government?
I guess any reasonable answers can't be obtained because national security agents are the protectors of these people; the people whose consciences are devilish but protected as patriots by national security apparatuses! So in a way, I'm wasting my time! But am I really wasting my time in writing this polemical article?
Not, really! If you read it and your conscience doesn't get affected, then you belong in the zoo! If you read this piece and you get affected but feel powerless then you can be excused but still held complicit in the rape of functional structures of national prosperity! And if you read this and get affected but feel afraid for your life then, I hear you…but pass it along to sensitize the people! People should have the power not the callous tribal elites!
Save your nation from these treasonous elites or you're part of this negative political orgy: the unconscionable destruction of the nation.
In South Sudan, the ruling political elites use national security to safeguard their treasonable, behind the doors tribal schemes. Instead of using resources and national institutions to protect the soul of the nation—citizens—these gluttonous traitors use national security, the police force and the national army to legitimize intimidation of civilians and disenfranchisement of the citizenry. The government has ceased to serve the people. It's become their enemy with all the state security structures aimed at eliminating the voices of the people.
South Sudan has become a police state, a giant prison. National security departments have been tasked with the role of determining when and whether or not someone should leave the country. Is that freedom we fought for? What's the business of national security in the private business of citizens? How's an assault on citizens' rights and freedoms not a treasonable offence? This has to change! South Sudan is not a prison for politicians to seek permission to leave? National passports are a permission for citizens' exit and entry…as many times as they want!
To my fellow South Sudanese who are part of national security, we are not your enemy! We are not the enemy of South Sudan. All of us want our children to grow up in a prosperous country where everyone is treated equal with no tribal preference. But remember that you are protecting the interest of a few elites who don't even care about you. Please protect the country from those who are actually destroying it.. Wake up and realize that you are being used for the destruction of the country. You've been used to turn South Sudan into a PRISON, a gigantic PRISON! Is that what you want? No! You're better citizens than that!
A nation in which citizens are free easily prospers. Be protectors of citizens not their intimidators! Let citizens write freely within the law! Stop censoring newspapers. Let citizens express their opinions freely on air, online or in print! Tackle those who abuse freedom of speech through the courts not through arbitrary arrests and censorship! Censorship of newspapers was the tradition of Khartoum, the enemy we fought for more than 50 years?
You've been turned into the very oppressor we wanted to get rid of! Please wake up! Nothing is as beautiful as a nation that protects national freedoms: religion, speech, political associations. Wouldn't it be beautiful for South Sudan to be called the nation with the freest press in Africa because of professional of the National Security of South Sudan! Think about it!
I would like both the citizens and national security to take their power back from the elites. They should remember that they have been turned against one another to protect the continuation of treasonous deeds of the ruling elites.
Let freedom reign! Let citizens speak! Let South Sudan be the freest county in Africa! Let us dream however costly!

This week we went to see the documentary Won't You Be My Neighbor about Fred Rogers. I was not a big Mister Rogers fan when I was young. Frankly, I thought he was a bit weird. I watched his show, on a hit-or-miss basis, on the Pittsburgh educational channel WQED before it was broadcast nationally. The clock and the castle and the characters all seemed pretty stark and low-key, through the black-and-white filter I viewed them at the time.
By the time Mister Rogers hit his stride, I had already reached the expressing-feelings-are-bad age. I didn't respond to Mister Rogers' message until I became a father and I listened to his program along with my children — and I began to feel he was talking to me as much as he was to them. There would be many days in my adult life that Mister Rogers was therapeutic for me, probably because he was connecting with the needy child in me.
Fred Rogers' message, if I may distill it: love and acceptance are universal Goods. Conflict is also universal, but it can be overcome or transcended by love and acceptance. Only if we work to make it so.
Moving along. I don't really want to talk about the weather in this blog, but it has been a strange month. We ended May with five inches of rain in one week. This was followed by two weeks with almost no rain. It led me to obsessively over-water several of my rhodos to the point where they got root-rot. And now the rains have returned — we have had nearly four inches in the past week. Tomorrow, I have to make up some of my super anti-root-rot solution to see if I can save those shrubs.
I think about my shrubs a lot more than they think about me. It's a one-sided relationship. I am very sad when I see their wilted leaves. But do you think they feel any of my concern and disappointment? No. Because they're plants.
We are enjoying listening to the tree-frogs outside our deck. (I am doing so as they speak.) Thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Frog, we now have several plump tadpoles in our little water pond, whom we hope will one day add to the chorus.
I am still spending more time on my research paper (about bidding strategy on The Price is Right showcase round) than any normal person would. I have this crazy belief that my paper will be accepted and I will eventually be able to claim that an article of mine was published in a peer-reviewed journal. If I had thought more carefully about my priorities and the amount of time my vanity effort would require, would I still have embarked upon this? We will never know. The ship has sailed. I could have been painting.
I have been actively avoiding the news and TV. It is no secret to anyone who visits here that I am sickened by our President and this political environment. I want to be part of "The Resistance" but I have yet to figure out a way to do it — the power is so imbalanced.
For some reason, I have been having very annoying dreams lately, a recurrence of my old "I hate working here, my job is pointless, I need to retire" dreams. (I retired years ago.) But how nice for me that I have worrisome dreams and then I wake up from them, and others have troubles that don't go away when they wake up.
Last but not least. We had to replace our refrigerator and we bought a GE. I discovered that GE is not really GE anymore. GE no longer makes refrigerators. Some South Korean outfit churns them out and puts a GE emblem on them. The appliance is cheaply made for the price we paid and does not measure up. I have buyer's remorse.
I mentioned a while back that I was going to try something different to stay in touch with friends, now that I have cut the Facebook cord. This feature, called Note from Self, is one idea toward that end. I intend this to be a month-end catching-up on a more personal and newsy level, without so much of the "grinding self-commentary" that my favorite college professor David Walton decried. Less Thoughts at Large, more Strictly Personal, to put it in Sidney J. Harris terms.
So here goes. May has been a month of blossoms and raindrops. Our Catawba (purple) rhododendrons are spent and their new shoots are sprouting. The mountain laurels that have managed to survive on our windswept lot are in profuse bloom. The multitude of peonies that Sue adores have been beaten down by our rains, and it has been a race to cut them and enjoy them before their blossom-heads explode or fall to the ground under their own weight. We had almost five inches of rain from May 13-19, another half-inch May 20-26, and almost an inch in the last two days (and raining again). At least I have not had to water anything.
The wet weather has given me the excuse to avoid yard work and focus on the paper I plan to submit to the MDPI Games Journal. I've worked a long time on this project, which deals with optimum bidding strategies in the Showcase Round of The Price is Right show. (I discussed this in a previous post.) I hope to finish the paper by mid-July. This will be my first submission to a journal since the days of the now-defunct Journal of Recreational Mathematics.
I also spent some hours this month doing art for a music CD that my singer-songwriter friend Bruce Irving created. It is his fourth, speaking of dedicated efforts.
We just lost our 13-year-old side-by-side refrigerator that we had named "Steve & Eydie" in honor of the famous rendition of "Side by Side" by Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme. (OK, we really didn't name our fridge, I just made that up. Some things haven't changed here at the blog.) But our fridge really did conk out, and right on time, based on their average 13-year life expectancy. We learned a few things from the experience. One is to estimate the value of the contents of your fridge when it fails. Knowing this could save you many dollars worth of ice and dry ice. Dry ice is not cheap and it lasts 40 hours max in a regular cooler. Figure $10 a day to keep your frozen food frozen.
It took seven days for us to get our new fridge delivered, and then another 12 hours for it to cool down after it was installed. It is possible we had $75 worth of food in the freezer — but not much more. That said, it has been a long time since I had a chance to play with dry ice. So from lemons, lemonade (or whatever this fiendish concoction is).
We have had various medical and dental appointments along with the regular ones for my left eye. We took the opportunity before one appointment to have a wonderful anniversary dinner at Bentley's on 27 in downtown Charlotte. The view was impressive, the service was great, the food was excellent, but the company — my wife — is what made the evening special, more than the accoutrements.
This was my first attempt to be newsy and I'm not sure how it went. It's like Jon Stewart has given way to Trevor Noah here. We'll try this again next month and decide.

Why is web-to-store essential to your marketing strategy?
Universem > Blog > Digital Strategy > Why is web-to-store essential to your marketing strategy?
You still think allying e-commerce and web-to-store is not necessary? How can you be present on the web without having an e-shop and drain qualified traffic in store? Find some answers in this infographic design!
The marketing actions performed on the internet in order to drain consumers in a physical shop is called the process of web-to-store. Digital becomes an opportunity – and not a threat as commonly perceived – for physical stores. Why proceed to the digitalization of my shop?
Being present online and offline is a necessity. Indeed, if 65% of the French people say they still prefer real shops to online shopping, the first action of the buying process is finding information on the web. This phenomenon is called the ROPO (Research Online, Purchase Offline) or the ROBO (Research Online, Buy Offline). What are the benefits of digitalization of shops ?
Think about your targets: what do my customers want? The shop must ad value, reflect the brand's universe, offer something special. The staff plays a key role in the purchase decision and the customer's loyalty mechanism.
As a conclusion, use new technologies to improve and maximize visits to your store. Numbers never lie!


Once you've mastered the basics of gardening and have grown to love the hobby, you may want to start to expand your garden into a fruitful array of herbs, fruits, and vegetables that can take your food from your garden to your table. A cook's garden includes a variety of fruits, vegetables, herbs and spices that you can mix together to create delicious dishes without having to go to the grocery store on a daily basis!
We've put together some tips for creating a cook's garden based on regional expertise and experiences of other master gardeners. Saving time and money is what a cook's garden is all about – you'll have the ingredients right in your back yard and you can go pick them in the morning or afternoon and get them ready for the evening meal with friends and family.
Herbs are an easy starting point to add to your cook's garden. Some of these include thyme, bay laurel, French tarragon, chives, and parsley. When you plant fresh oregano and basil, you'll have flavors meant for Italian dishes like pasta, pizzas, pesto, and salads. Cilantro is also a flavorful herb to add to your Mexican dishes and dips. It grows easily, but you'll need to pick it right away as it does tend to go bad. Experts recommend growing it in a pot and it likes the sun.
Other experts suggest rosemary growing because it can tolerate drought but need full sun. It can grow tall in some instances. It is recommended to also be grown in containers – and don't over water it. How about some mint? Recommended for container-growing, it does need to be well-watered. You can use it in desserts, dinners or add to your tea!
Peppers are another must-have in a cook's garden. Adding a lot of impact to your dishes, you can use them with any type of meat or in your side dishes. They do like the sun, so give them a sunny spot in your garden. They're pretty low maintenance – water and wait to harvest!
Tomatoes and tomatillos are another fan-favorite. They tend to be a little more difficult to grow, but once you get the hang of it, they're great for salads, salsa, sauces, and sandwiches!
If you truly enjoy gardening, and you have more time, consider growing you cook's garden with summer squash, kale, chard, and eggplant.
You won't have to worry about getting dressed to go to the grocery store, returning back to the store for that one item you forgot, running out of an ingredient in the middle of the cooking process, or not having healthy ingredients with plenty of flavor and nourishment.
It takes time to grow your cook's garden and also experience. Go visit your local farmer's market and talk to the growers. Ask questions about plants that you'd like to grow – how far apart should you plant? How deep? How much sun? How much water? Good luck with your cook's garden and let us know how it goes!

Home Article Threats To Freedom.
Threats To Freedom.
by Adam Serwer
Will Wilkson's response to Paul Waldman's post about the above Gallup poll and how Republicans are wrong to be "gripped by a belief that government is dangerously out of control and that it's threatening our freedom" is interesting:
Mr Waldman is right to suggest that today's Republican alarm and Democratic light-heartedness are partisan phenomena. But one is no sillier than the other. The majority of Democrats who saw government as a threat in 2007 were right to do so, and nothing truly significant has changed since then. Likewise, the overwhelming majority of Republicans who were at ease with the state in 2007 were profoundly misguided; one wishes they had been roused from their oblivious slumber for better reasons. The Gallup graph is truly troubling because it shows us that each party's base of supporters is more or less blind to government's threat to freedom when their favoured team is in power. Which is to say, their dogged partisan team-spiritedness keeps Americans from unifying to perceive and combat very real threats to their liberties and lives. It's hard to imagine that Mr Obama would not have done something by now to make government less threatening to citizens if not for the delusive complacency currently gripping Democratic voters.
The thing is that there are genuine ideological disagreements about what constitutes a "threat to freedom." Democrats didn't file a challenge to Massachusetts' health-insurance mandate because it was Mitt Romney's bill, and they wouldn't have done so if John McCain had passed the Affordable Care Act. Likewise, there are no Tea Partiers in the streets protesting the Obama administration asserting the authority to kill American citizens or strengthening the PATRIOT Act because they don't see those things as affecting them personally.
So it's accurate to say that partisanship affects whether or not you see government as a threat, but it's hard to imagine Americans "unifying" against the kinds of threats to freedom Wilkinson mentions because one party only sees them as threats when the other guy is in charge, and the other one doesn't see them as threats at all -- and the reverse is also true.

Milan is probably my favourite Fashion Week city. It's the place where the most influential and trend-setting houses are showcasing their collections and where street style fashion is polished and simply picture-perfect.
From Dolce & Gabbana's exciting holiday experience, to Peter Dundas' (Emilio Pucci) Asian inspiration and to Jil Sander's return to her own label. Milan had it all!
Chic head-to-toe ensembles, impressive colour blocking and perfect print mixing. This is how the fashionistas do it in Milan!

If you missed it on the dead-tree delivery Sunday morning, check out the major splash given Hood River and The Dalles in The Oregonian. The paper took a pretty favorable economic read on Hood River, and in even grander fashion, noted that The Dalles has moved beyond the boom and bust cycles of the aluminum industry. Anyone who has spent any time there in recent years knows that The Dalles has some great stuff going on. Despite the disparaging attitudes of some of my neighbors in da Pearl (I mean, da Hood), The Dalles has great people, great history, great architecture … and, yes, some rough edges. It's a working town, after all, not all about latte this, latte that. Hell, much as I love our local wines, if I want to drink a couple of bottles a day, I can only afford the Grocery Outlet wine bin. Check it out — last week they were closing out Banrock Station Syrah for $2.99 a bottle.
Is anything more pressing than the need for a solution to the disaster that is our national health care mess? The Archimedes Movement, headed up by former (and potentially future) Gov. John Kitzhaber, is trying to push a sensible solution. Rep. Mitch Greenlick has proposed a joint resolution that would identify health care as a right, in the Oregon Constitution. A good topic for dinner discussion: Is it? Along with life, liberty, and the pursuit of iPods? And who should pay for it? Somehow, as a culture, we've gotten it in our heads that business should. But that's a DOA notion. Business everywhere is bailing on the ballooning cost bubble. Oh, don't get me started. It's an issue that involves so much more than the question of who pays. Once again, market solutions have created the mess, so letting the market solve it just doesn't compute. Anyway, you can tune in at noon Wednesday to hear Greenlick explains his thoughts. If you'd like to ask a question, you can — here.
The state last week determined that Hood River County ranks among those with the greatest need for affordable housing. For county officials, that was bad news – and good news, too.
They would rather the situation didn't warrant that ranking. But they welcomed it, just the same, because it helps buttress a pending application for state tax credits.
After being denied tax credits last year, officials hope a new application going to Oregon Housing & Community Services on Friday, Feb. 27, will meet with a positive response.
Tax credits are the key to advancing a collaborative effort with Columbia Cascade Housing to develop a 40-unit affordable housing complex on 1.75 acres along the south side of West Cascade Avenue, across from the Les Schwab Tire Center in Hood River.
"The big news was that we were reassigned as a priority No. 1 in terms of housing needs compared to the rest of the state," says Ruby Mason, executive director of the Mid-Columbia Housing Authority and director of the affiliated nonprofit Columbia Cascade Housing.
Working with Dee Luckenbill of Bend-based affordable housing developer Luckenbill-Drayton & Associates, LLC, Columbia Cascade hopes its new application will be approved for tax credits by the end of May. If it passes that hurdle, it would then have 75 days to provide detailed construction and financing plans to the state, and begin marketing the credits.
She says Luckenbill has experience developing hundreds of affordable housing units in Colorado and Arizona, and has great contacts in the construction and finance sectors.
In terms of how the state views its housing needs, Hood River County's climb from third-tier to first came through a lot of teamwork, says Dave Meriwether, county administrator.
The Task Force also included Sandi Borowy, Dean Guess, Barbara Briggs, Brian Watts, Bob Benton, Rodger Schock, Kim Knox, Lesley Haskell and Jamie Guth.
Fridley, regional economist with the Oregon Employment Department, says nearly a quarter of county families earn less than $30,000 a year. That means they often can't afford the median rent of $660 a month.
Chausse, a Realtor with Don Nunamaker Realtors, has worked with the county task force on affordable housing. She provided data on the large number of apartments and lower-priced homes that have been converted to vacation rentals or condos in recent years.
Mason's agency helps people with lower incomes find adequate housing. She says a third of people getting government help with their rent can't afford to live in Hood River County.
While the state is reviewing the tax credit application, Hood River County will be working with the city of Hood River to renew approval for a revised project plan. The original plan called for 44 units. The new plan calls for 40 units.
Mason says four units were eliminated from the plan, to leave space for a children's plan area and community garden.
To get the site ready, county crews have removed structures on the land before the county bought it for $713,000 in 2008. In a special meeting Feb. 23, the county board of Commissioners approved and signed a letter of intent to convey the property to Columbia Cascade Housing if its tax credit application is approved.

Partnerships Create Affordable Housing and Job Opportunities
Demolition of the 203 Ludlam Avenue property in Southampton, New York. In September 2011, the Southampton Housing Authority (SHA) announced a partnership with the nonprofit community group YouthBuild to redevelop an affordable housing unit in the town of Southampton, New York. The building is one of several properties transferred to Southampton from Suffolk County under the county's Affordable Housing Opportunities Program, also known as the 72-H program.
72-H Program in Suffolk County Creates New Housing
In a first-ever collaboration, YouthBuild joins SHA in rehabilitating a property acquired by SHA under the County's 72-H program. YouthBuild, a community impact initiative of United Way of Long Island, enrolls students between 16 and 24 years old in a 9-month program to learn trade skills, including those in the green and retrofit industry. Located in the Riverside community of the Town of Southampton, the 203 Ludlam Avenue property is a single-family residence with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. SHA will rent the house (with the option to own) for owner-occupancy to a family with a median household income no greater than 80 percent of the area median income (AMI), currently $84,900 for a family of four. Students are currently working on a gut rehabilitation and deep-energy retrofit of the house. Work is slated for completion by February 2012.
Since its introduction in 2002, Suffolk County's 72-H program (named after New York State General Municipal Law §72-h) has been used extensively to provide affordable housing to young people, returning veterans, and families. Under the municipal rule, Suffolk County may transfer ownership of properties seized because of delinquent taxes to a village or town, as long as the property is developed for affordable housing (defined as 80% of AMI for owner occupancy, although a waiver may be granted for applicants earning up to 120% of AMI). As of August 2011, Suffolk County has transferred or is currently transferring ownership of more than 300 parcels to organizations such as the Long Island Housing Partnership, Habitat for Humanity, and Economic Opportunity Council of Suffolk for affordable housing. In Southampton, properties have been distributed to organizations such as SHA and the nonprofit Southampton Business Alliance for affordable housing development.
Meeting Challenges with Community Partnerships
The 203 Ludlam Avenue site presented unique challenges compared with other 72-H parcels, says SHA Assistant Director Ann Gajowski, because the house needed significant repairs. YouthBuild, which has rehabilitated other 72-H properties in nearby townships, took on the task of total rehabilitation with the help of funds from the Community Development Block Grant program and SHA. "We rebuilt the house from the inside to the outside," says Rick Wertheimer, vice president of housing and green initiatives at United Way. The house needed new roofing, siding, doors, and interior materials. To improve energy efficiency, the house was rebuilt with deeper attic insulation; constructed with green, nontoxic materials; and fitted with high-efficiency heating and cooling systems. Wertheimer projected energy savings of nearly 40 percent annually.
The collaboration between YouthBuild and SHA offers special advantages in community building and engagement. The YouthBuild students working on 203 Ludlam Avenue are local low-income youths who were previously unemployed. "The students feel even more connected to [their] neighborhood when they get to rehabilitate properties in their communities that are 72-H properties," explains Wertheimer. He added that in his experience, YouthBuild properties are less likely to be vandalized than other development properties because of community buy-in. YouthBuild students are also paid a small stipend for their work on properties. This approach also satisfies HUD funding requirements to employ local workers in construction projects by hiring YouthBuild students.
"It's a win-win situation," says Wertheimer. "The 72-H program provides affordable, durable, sustainable, housing that helps the bottom line for the Authority to control energy costs." YouthBuild and SHA are currently planning additional projects for collaboration under the 72-H program.

Ancestral Lines Chapter Summary
In chapter 4 of Ancestral Lines by John Barker, Barker discusses the two main guides of reasoning used by the Maisin of Papua New Guinea; Christianity and older traditional views. He describes how although both are different methods of thinking, both are used in harmony to describe the everyday occurrences encountered by the Maisin people (Barker 2008:134). Christianity, as described in the ethnography, is used wholly to motivate the Maisin intrinsically through the abolishment of fear, and to instill morals and values (Barker 2008:133-134). In times of need, Christianity was often relied on to seek solace and comfort (Barker 2008:124). For instance, the Maisin often used sacred objects (charms) that were said to protect them from sorcery;…show more content…
They offer an explanation when presented with the death of a young adult, or when someone who seems to be of relatively good health becomes ill (Barker 2008:129). For example, the death of a young woman named Mona was blamed on sorcery in order to provide an explanation to the villagers since there were given no medical reason (Barker 2008:125). Barker concluded that although Christianity does not believe in sorcery, and both methods of understanding have different views, they can and do coexist in harmony within the Maisin people (Barker 2008:134). Hedican's textbook "Social Anthropology" discusses the coexistence of Christianity and traditional beliefs among the Mi'Kmaq. Hedican discusses the initial arrival of the British along with missionaries who successfully converted the Mi'Kmaq; which incidentally also happened to the Maisin (Barker 2008:117, Hedican 2012:225). But upon conversion, like the Maisin, the Mi'Kmaq did not give up their traditional values (Hedican 2012:225). Rather such, they adopted Christianity in such a manner that it conjoined with their traditional views in order to answer a broader array of questions (Hedican
Bartolome De Las Casas
To Las Casas, this also meant they were capable of conversion to Christianity. As such, it would be a sin against God to harm them. In1520, Las Casas was granted a hearing by King Charles V. (Orique, 'Bartolomé De Las Casas: A Brief Outline Of His Life And Labour'. Lascasas.org.)
The Importance Of Atheism On Witchcraft
An important thing to remember, they were apart of a religion, but still got accused as witches and put to death (History.com Staff). Another reason that atheism goes against witches is that they say that witchcraft can happen. When St. Augustine said in the 400s that only God can have powers, witches and Satan got accused of not existing. This statement became only an error made by Pagans. This was his reason for tracking down witches and witchcraft (Linder).
Chapter 2 From The Great Awakening Analysis
During the 1730s and 1740s the Great Awakening was a religious revival that lead by the Protestants. The main idea of the revivals was to preach a new idea of being reborn which meant that one must except Jesus Christ as their lord and savior. Once that occurred the people in return they will be forever saved and be forgiven for the sins they have committed in the past and the ones they will commit in the future. The text the Itinerants Chapter 2 from the Great Awakening PDF is a great text to read for information on the Great Awakening. The text shows how people like George Whitefield and others like him reshaped the landscape of the religious world.
Essay Comparing Hossein And Sydney Carton
Christian author C.S. Lewis once spoke, "The more we let God take us over, the more truly ourselves we become." For most who believe, it rings true that in searching and accepting God, one undergoes a transformation. In this belief, one can overcome internal and external mountains in clinging to the truth of God they hold to be true. It is not necessary for one to believe in God in order to see the life change that can occur in others who let God take control of their lives. Literary authors Khaled Hosseini and Charles Dickens use religious allusions in order to develop characters who reveal the theme that in desperate times, leaning on God or a higher power can bring about resolution and change in one's character after times of self deprecation.
The Supernatural And The Supernatural In Jane's Jane Eyre
As In the end Jane is portrayed as a believer of her own established idea which is to confirm both supernaturality and spirituality by following her own intentions while at the same time, praising God. Evidently Bronte`s intentions to illustrate the change of Jane`s beliefs caused the idea of Christianity to come up more often as the story
Lambert Stamp Theme
The lack of recognition of horrors which Mrs. Heller had described can be seen in Lambert's life in a different way. Lambert's mom would not believe that the accident had an effect on her health: ""You better?" I asked. "Of course, dear. Much.
Sacrifice In Medea And The Book Of Job
Therefore, we can see that Medea believes her actions are not only a sacrifice, but also as a form of cleansing, since she can not risk being tainted by the presence of unclean individuals. She specifically refers to Jason's infidelity. She claims they "died from a disease they caught from their father" (44). Medea compares Jason's adultery to a malady to prove that killing her children was the medicine needed to cure the sickness. However, the Chorus is not advocating for Medea and infanticide is actually the opposite of what the women are trying to say.
Daphnis And Loloe Analysis
These theories were debated over vast amounts of time; due to the expansion of knowledge and beliefs in literature. The bible stated the following in
The Wounded Healer Chapter Summary
SINGAPORE BIBLE COLLEGE Book Reflection: The Wounded Healer by Henri J. M. Nouwen Submitted to Esther Tan CO502 – Theory and Practice in Counseling by Shongzan Chanlila Khayi Mail Box # 120 SINGAPORE 21 August, 2013 The Wounded Healer by Henri J.M. Nouwen is one such book which is simple yet very insightful, solemn yet very challenging. He stirs up our interest as he deals with the biggest concern of our modern day leaders in our churches and society – the struggle with our weaknesses. And I believe his philosophy goes much deeper than what is actually written.
Guilt In Roald Dahl's Lamb To The Slaughter
She does not try to kill him; her actions are unexpected even to herself. She does not even think about the consequences earlier on, because she does not think about the reasons for murdering him. Roald Dahl uses Mary Maloney's inner conflict to convey a theme of innocence versus guilt through Mary's unconscious decisions. Dahl implies Mary is in some sort of stupor before she kills her husband; she loves him and grieves over his death, and does not start planning the crime and cover-up until after she kills him.
Cs Lewis Book 2 Analysis
God manifests himself in what Christians regard as true and in our daily actions. C.S Lewis outlines in Book Two of Mere Christianity what we, as Christians, believe and why we have come to these conclusions. He explains opposition to Christianity and how we must quell the outbursts of non-believers. Using succinct and simple language he not only legitimizes God's existence but His effect on humanity.
Reinvention In The Second Great Awakening
This awakening promised access to salvation through a person's actions and declared the truth of personal salvation. The reformers of the era called for a recreation of the protestant faith something that had been set in place for over hundreds of years. Through this awakening church leaders wanted to reinvent the Christian faith and broke into groups such as the Mormons, Millerites, and the Shakers. This era proved the American characteristic of reinvention through the recreation of the Christian faith to the denominations likings, much similar to the
Solidarity Witch Research Paper
The second individual I interviewed is a grey solidarity witch, with two familiars and five children. As described by the informant, a grey witch is a person who "will do no harm unless it 's for protection of myself or my loved ones, or those that cannot protect themselves who ask for help." A solidarity witch is a person who focusses their magic on healing and helping. When the informant was telling me about her practice as a solidarity witch, she emphasized that she did not practice love spells. Love spells are seen as controversial among witches because such spells may be written to control a person into falling in love with another.
Great Awakening Rationalism
Part of the appeal of Evangelical Christianity was the degree of personalization the Native Americans were allowed, in contrast to the strictly controlled dogma of other Christian sects. While before conversion had seemed "cultural
Comparable Once Henry Singer Analysis
Simply put, the mother's distance from the refugee has not effect on her moral obligation to help. If the mother has the power to save the drowning from half way across the world then she ought to do it. Her argument that her child is closer than the refugee; therefore, she will help her child over the refugee fails. I do agree with Singer on his point that distance/proximity have no effect on our moral

Telluride Skiing History
Home / Market Resources / Skiing in Telluride
Up Hill Ski Tows in the Telluride Region As remembered by Billy Mahoney Sr.
1935-1945 Skiing behind cars was very popular in Telluride during these years. All the roads were dirt and not plowed very well. The town put a stop to this once the war was over and people began to buy cars and more traffic was on the streets; and so it goes.
1937 Gus Sands and Tony Thornton built a 300 foot rope tow above the beaver pond (west of town park) on the North facing slope. The tow went up to a large Quaky tree below Bear Creek Road. It was powered by a Brad-Stratton Engine.
1938-1939 Bruce Palmer and a group of boys hauled a motor up the hill to build a tow they needed some pulleys and a cable, but Bruce Palmer ended up getting a rope tow that was made in Sweden and set it up at Grizzly Gulch also known as the Kids Hill. This tow was about 400 feet long. The gasoline engine is now in the Colorado Ski Hall of Fame.
1940 Bob Mahoney and Ed Goldsworthy used a 1927 Nash car as a portable rope tow at the beaver pond area near the Town Park. We also used it at the Broomtail on Turkey Creek Mesa and what is now called West Meadows and up on Lizard Head Pass.
1941 Bob, Ed Pete Peterson, Billy and Pat Mahoney and others built a Rope Tow at the ballpark (off what is known as Firecracker Hill) using a Model A Engine. This Rope Tow burned up in 1942.
1946-1952 Bob, Ed, Pete and others built a new rope tow where the other one had burned up. They used a V-8 Ford engine that came from Pete's parents who owned the Peterson Garage.
1950 Art Peterson developed what is now the Skyline Guest Ranch. Pete, Ed and Bob set up a rope tow there to be used by the guests and the kids that wanted to ski in 1957.
1953 A new rope tow was set up on Firecracker Hill by the local kids and Melvin Punk Porterfield, and was used until 1956.
1956 The Idarado Mining Company built a new electric powered rope tow for the local kids. Bob Hilander, the mines general manager; Dutch Wunderlich the shop foreman Jimmy Bonato, the lathe operator and Arvo Thompson, and Dick Stevens who set it up on the hill. It was operated from 1956 to about 1963 at the ball park. Bob Hilander designed a patch with two crossed crutches and a casted ankle. The name of the Ski-Hi club was the club name there were about 100 members, mostly kids. The lift was open on weekends a season pass was $5.00
1963 The Idarado rope tow was moved from the ballpark to Grizzly Gulch in 1963 this rope tow was about 1200 feet long. At this time we found that it was too steep for the small kids to use. In the summer of 1964 Dick Swerdfeger, Bucky Schuler, Sr Mahoney, Ned Walker, the Rice boys, Bill Mahoney Jr, Johnny Stevens, Arvo Thompson and others built a rope tow for the beginners to use. We then realigned the 1200 foot tow, at this time we removed the beginner tow. Now all the kids could use the one tow. The club was run by volunteer parents, we operated the ski area until 1969. At this time Joe Zoline had purchased the land. We asked Joe Zoline if he would let us operate the area. He said we could if we got insurance and get the Colorado Tramway Board to approve the operation. We found that the cost was to prohibitive so we closed the area down.
The Road to a Ski Area
As remembered by Billy Mahoney Sr.
1940 The U.S. Forest Service worked on a plan for a Winter sports area at Trout Lake. The property considered belonged to the Western Colorado Power Co and C.N. Fairlamb and there were talks of a trade for some Electra Lake property. As a result of the war the trade and winter sports area didn't happen.
1958 A group here in Telluride formed what was called the Telluride Ski Inc. We obtained options on the land where the present day ski area is today. The Telluride Elks Club came up with $12000 to help obtain the land options. Stock was sold to the citizens of Telluride but unwise expenditures of funds by manager bankrupted the company.
1964 The recreation planning committee of City of Telluride sent a profile for a double chairlift to Sterns Roger Corporation. This lift was to be built from the old Depot up to Camels Garden. Pete Peterson, Bill Mahoney and Ed Goldsworthy were on the City Council, Donald O'Rourke was the city planner. We tried to get the whole city council to get a small business loan, we needed $70960 to get this done, but the Mayor and other the other members of the city council would not go along with this deal. The Mayor would not sign the agreement.
1965 The ski area on Dallas Divide was a popular place to ski. It was opened in 1960 by a group of Montrose and Norwood people. They built a t-bar and lodge. Some of the group were Jerry Hodges, Steve Wall, Tessman and the Clines. They hired Jerry Pesman t conduct a ski school. The Area was opened until 1973. They had to close because of the Colorado Tramway Board.
1964 Joern Gerdts, Jerry Pesman and Billy Mahoney Sr. tried to promote a ski area again. Gerdts got a story in Ski magazine that helped some. Gerdts was coming back from California he was sitting with Joe Zoline they got talking about skiing in Aspen where they both lived. Gerdts told him about a great place for a ski area this was 1968. Then in September Joe Zoline came to Telluride and picked up the options on the land.
In 1969-1970-1971 We ran snow cat skiing to promote the development of a ski area. We got the permits from the U.S. Forest Service to develop a ski area. Then in 1972 we built five double chair lifts and skiing became a big deal here in Telluride.
Some of the Early Ski Run names in 1970
Bushwacker – This name came about in the late 1940's the young skiers called skiing thru the trees BUSHWACKING.
Mammoth – Name came about because it was the most open area to ski in the early days.
Spiral Stairs – Named after the spiral stair case that went from the surface to 4 level of the Tomboy Mine. The stairs at the Tomboy spiraled 5 times from the surface to number 4 level.
Telluride Plunge – Name taken from a mining claim located in Savage Basin in the year 1870.
See For Ever – Name taken from mining claim located on the Three Needles Mountain in Bridal Veil Basin elevation 13481 from this mountain you can See For Ever.
Pick and Gad – Named after the Pick and Gad cat house, you could pick a lady for the evening and talk all night among other things.
Misty Maiden – Name of a girl that worked in the red light district her name was Misty.
True Stories of the Ski Area
Accounts by Sr. Mahoney
This happened in June 1970, I had just hired a fellow to help me cut some test trails for the proposed ski area. I never ask him what kind of work he had done in the past. We had just started lunch, this guys name was Ed. He turned to me and said I think we may need to get some uppers and downers to help me do this kind of work. I didn't understand what he was saying, he told me when he worked for a newspaper back east he used these uppers and downers. He went on to say it gets your mind off your work, he said one time at this newspaper he thought he was a needle on a musical record. I didn't know what to say I thought to my self what the hell have I hired maybe I better let this guy go, but you know he really became a good worker. I don't think he used these uppers or downers.
This happened in 1972 Joe Zoline sent in a landscape architect that was from California he was to help lay out the cutting of the ski trails. Well one day he said to me what are those trails up on gold hill, well I said to him those trails are made by geese that are flying South, he said oh! I then explained to him that geese can't fly over 10000 elevation. Gold Hill is over 12000 elevation so they land at the 10000 elevation walk up over the top and down to the 10000 elevation and fly away. Later that evening he was down at the Sheridan Bar, having a beer with the crew. He politely said to the guys sitting at the bar did you know that geese can't fly above 10000 elevation.
In 1972this same architect asked me a few weeks later what do you do if a bear came by. I told him do not climb a tree as bears are good tree climbers, he then asked what about a small tree. I told him these bears around here will shake the tree until you fall out. He then asked what one should do, I then told him to lay as flat as flat as he can and play dead. A few weeks later I came upon this guy who was laying flat on the ground. I asked him what he was doing, he said he was practicing being dead.
In 1970 Ed and I needed to obtain a certification under the National Ski Patrol to run our snow cat skiing. I got it all set up with the ski patrol from Grand Junction to get our certification. We got all set up to go through necessary routine. I was first I went through the routine with no problem, when Ed was to bring the toboggan down it turned upside down with one of the patrol guys. Ed let go of the rope, now as Ed passed the toboggan he was looking back to see what had happened he ran face first into a small tree and was knocked cuckoo. The guy in the toboggan was ok, well I thought this was it, no certification. The ski patrolman said I never saw anything like this, he gave us our certification. By the way we didn't have any accidents that winter.

National Briefing | West
Nevada: $400,000 Payment Approved in Case of Patients Sent Away
State officials have approved paying $400,000 to San Francisco to settle allegations that psychiatric patients were wrongly bused to California. The Nevada Board of Examiners approved the payment Tuesday. It still needs to be approved by a court and the Board of Supervisors in San Francisco. San Francisco sued Nevada in 2013 amid reports that patients discharged from Rawson-Neal Psychiatric Hospital in Las Vegas were bused to California and directed to seek services there. The lawsuit sought money for their care. Nevada did not admit wrongdoing, and Gov. Brian Sandoval said San Francisco had a similar program to give patients bus tickets after their discharge.

Ford Airport Welcomes First Frontier Flight from Phoenix-Sky Harbor
Grand Rapids, Mich. – Frontier Airlines passengers left 76-degree temperatures as the first inbound Phoenix flight landed in Grand Rapids today to a cool 31-degrees.

I can feel overwhelmed and empty in the same breath. I feel neurotic, and I am a recovering awkward person like many others. The difference is that unlike them, I have taken all this in my stride and I talk about it shamelessly. My name is Shreya Dhingra, I am an Executive Image Coach, Body Language Trainer and a Corporate Behaviour Researcher at Your Image and I, my own Image Management Consultancy.
If the life of an entrepreneur is hard, then a solopreneur's life is brutally hard. Add to that, a new city, new culture and new rules of the game, it can be truly cruel. But then, as they say, in the end, all's worth it if you love what you do.
As a rebellious employee, I stuck with no company for more than a year after getting my management degree. My bosses must have deplored me no end. I was so restless doing jobs I didn't relate to, that I crashed into a business opportunity in 2011. With absolutely no sense of running a business, no background or a definite urge of being a consultant, and with an admittedly lost state of mind, I got myself into Coaching & Training. I started this in Delhi in 2011 as I was born and brought up there, but eventually moved to Bangalore after getting married.
Today, it has been more than four years that I have been an Executive Image Coach, and I can easily say that there is no single institute, academy, organisation or a formal body that can teach you how to be a coach or a trainer. It has to come from within, for it's all about the right balance of empathy and emotional intelligence.
So, my first challenge as a solopreneur was to dingle dangle my way towards stability. Stability of all sorts – right from understanding my own strengths, my preferred client profiles, to identifying my areas of expertise.
My second challenge was and is my subject itself. When I started learning about Body Language and Image Management, I was shocked out of my gut that a subject so crucial to our daily lives, is in fact never formally taught to us during childhood. Not in school, largely not by parents and certainly not in college. The only little mention of it happens when we are looking out for jobs and need to prepare for interviews. By then, it is terribly late. Image Management like any other core subject has to be taught in a structured manner. A base has to be formed before anything else.
Unfortunately, grooming schools and personality development institutes attempt to teach behaviour, etiquette, body language and grooming, without laying any concrete foundation for participants. The trainers themselves linger on with partial knowledge and complete lack of applicative abilities.
The participants who complete these courses, lose all the value of what they have learnt in no time. They are clueless how to apply the acquired skills in their daily lives. They feel more lost and flustered than they were before doing the course. I can state this confidently because I myself have undertaken few personality development classes in the past.
My third 'supposed' challenge of being a solopreneur in my new city Bangalore, didn't actually seem so difficult. I have a huge advantage of being a gifted Image Coach. I don't judge my clients on the basis of their culture, language and education. The only time I judge them is when they trouble clearing my payment. But those, fortunately, are rare cases.
Choosing to be an Executive Image Coach is the biggest gift I could have ever given myself. I coach people older than me all the time. At times my clients are literally double my age. But fortunately, that is not even a remote challenge for me because the ability to transform, convince and polish others, does not, in fact, have much to do with age, as opposed to popular belief.
On the whole, being on my own is a great feeling. But freedom seldom comes easy. It is a lot easier to be disciplined in a structured environment where the bosses are watching you all the time. The real character comes out when no one is around to shadow you. I mean what's worse having someone to scream at you when you're not doing your job or not having anyone at all, and not realising till you've messed it all up?
Currently, I am into free style learning and research, besides acquiring formal e-certifications from foreign universities. Along with this, I coach and train professionals, business owners, start-ups, public sectors, free lancers, teachers and trainers, through individual consulting and corporate workshops.
On the whole, having start-up is at once exciting, exhilarating, unpredictable, crazy, and at times deeply disappointing. But if there's one thing I could tell you about my start-up and solopreneurship experience with utmost certainty, it would be that despite all the hardships, I can never even dream of working for someone else again. For, as writer says, "People who are frightened to be themselves work for those who are unafraid".

Q: How to create a dynamic array As I understand, the list type in Python is a dynamic pointer array, which will increase it's capacity when items are appended to it. And an array in NumPy uses a continuous memory area to hold all the data of the array.
Are there any types that dynamically increase its capacity as a list, and stores the value as a NumPy array? Something like List in C#. And it's great if the type has the same interface as a NumPy array.
I can create a class which wraps a NumPy array inside, and resize this array when it's full, such as:
class DynamicArray(object):
    def __init__(self):
        self._data = np.zeros(100)
        self._size = 0

    def get_data(self):
        return self._data[:self._size]

    def append(self, value):
        if len(self._data) == self._size:
            self._data = np.resize(self._data, int(len(self._data)*1.25))
        self._data[self._size] = value
        self._size += 1

but DynamicArray can't be used as a NumPy array, and I think all the views returned by get_data() before np.resize() will hold the old array.
Edit: array type in array module is dynamic array. The following program test the increase factor of list and array:
from array import array
import time
import numpy as np
import pylab as pl

def test_time(func):
    arrs = [func() for i in xrange(2000)]
    t = []
    for i in xrange(2000):
        start = time.clock()
        for a in arrs:
            a.append(i)
        t.append(time.clock()-start)
    return np.array(t)

t_list = test_time(lambda:[])
t_array = test_time(lambda:array("d"))
pl.subplot(211)
pl.plot(t_list, label="list")
pl.plot(t_array, label="array")
pl.legend()
pl.subplot(212)
pl.plot(np.where(t_list>2*np.median(t_list))[0])
pl.plot(np.where(t_array>2*np.median(t_array))[0])
pl.show()

from the graph: the increase factor of list is bigger than array.

A: You may be interested to know that the Python standard library also includes an array module which sounds like just what you want:

This module defines an object type which can compactly represent an
  array of basic values: characters, integers, floating point numbers.
  Arrays are sequence types and behave very much like lists, except that
  the type of objects stored in them is constrained.

Finding peace in darkness
Flicker, flicker
A blog by Charias
Entry posted by Charias · February 12
Damn, it's been a while since I've written anything here. Welp, guess I'll kinda... do that. Because. Things.
Specifically, fictionflicky things. Ugh. So... I don't dislike being a fictionflicker, not at all. And for the most part, it's such a minor thing that I don't feel the need to talk about it. For that matter, I doubt the experience is even particularly rare. It's not generally the sort of thing I think most people would go out and label. I wouldn't have if there wasn't already a convenient label for this exact thing that also helpfully facilitates discussion about it, in a community full of people already talking about identity weirdness. Like, now if I see some fictionkin talking about something I've also felt before, I can be like, "oh yeah I totally know how that feels!" without having to give some big exposition about how that happens in someone who is not at all fictionkin.
Which. Hey, that's another weird thing I realised. So by the much looser Tumblr standards I'd probably count as a fictionkin. Pretty wild. Also... a perfect example of why that kind of looser terminology doesn't work. Because I, in no way, shape or form, identify as any of the characters I flick as. And I'm not even them 95% of the time!
It is pretty bizarre in it's own way, though. I was running it through my head a few days ago, trying to figure out where exactly these flicks fit into my identity. I definitely don't identify as the characters I flick as. Not even the recurring ones I've had for years. They're not me, I'm not them - just the idea of that is really weird! And very not-right! But then I'm like. What the heck are these things to me? I don't identify with any of these characters either! I certainly have plenty of characters I identify with, but I don't flick as any of them. And most of the recurring characters I flick as are like. Specific characters with specific linear stories which have no parallels to my own, symbolic or otherwise. So what causes my brain to latch onto these random, apparently arbitrary characters so much? I... just don't know right now. I do definitely believe it is 100% psychological, though.
I suppose... the best way I can think of to describe the feeling is that... it's like, if somehow I had been born in the universe that story is set in, I feel like that is the person I would be. That is the life I would live. Which is, again, a very strange and confusing thing to feel towards characters who share no common themes or personality traits with you. I don't know why I feel that way so strongly. I guess... just blame it on brains being weird and leave it at that? I had a hell of a lot of identity issues growing up.
I do feel a lot of what I imagine fictionkin tend to feel, for as long as these flicks last. Like... homesickness, for sure. And the feeling like I should be able to do something but don't physically know how. The momentary feeling of "wait where is (item)" or "I miss (person)". Thinking of characters from the same source in very familiar ways, like "my friend" or "my brother". Feeling out of place, like I don't really belong "here". Very strong emotional reactions to events that happened in whatever canon I'm flicking. Sometimes I even get slight changes in the way I hold myself or speak. And there's those momentary reactions to things that just make no sense in any context.
"Where the fuck is my gun!?" I wonder, as a person who hates guns, has never even seen a gun up close, and lives in a country where guns are completely illegal to own. Yep. It's. Really something. Good job, brain.
Another interesting thing to note is that the characters I flick as aren't always from the exact "canon" that's shown in whatever media they're from. Though in most cases I can kinda figure out why that is, and what "changed" to make that happen.
Best theory I have right now about why I might get these things is that I. Maybe... might have subconsciously plugged up some holes in my own identity with stuff from outside sources. At least, that explanation might work for the recurring ones. But then... why would they be flicks and not a consistent part of my identity? And if I really did fill in some gaps in my sense of self with outside stuff, why would I also feel like I am not, in any way, actually those characters? Not even a little bit? Not even sometimes? So then. Maybe it really is just me being a very empathetic person with a strong tendency towards escapism? But that wouldn't explain why I tend to flick as characters I don't identify with.
Unless... I do identify with them, but in a more vague way? Or... like, those characters somehow represent something in myself that I don't consciously recognise or understand? Or... maybe even things I don't want to understand?
Damn, now I'm onto something...
I mean, it's still a stretch to go from "this character kinda represents a trait I have that I pretend I don't have!" to feeling what I feel during flicks. But then. I guess. I was also dealing with some serious mental health problems at the time, so. Maybe. I might have latched onto a few characters as ways to express, or... maybe vent some of the things I was dealing with inside myself, that I couldn't or wouldn't consciously confront? But then. It became, like. A habit? To explore myself, and specifically the things I didn't/don't understand about myself, through these different characters. And the fact that they're nothing like my actual personality is what made them perfect to explore all the feelings and emotions I wasn't in touch with, that didn't feel like a central part of myself. And then... I mean, if it's something I learned to do as a kind of... not exactly a coping mechanism, but a way to process things? Well, then it'd make sense that it still happens, even with new sources and new characters.
Which... also goes a long way towards explaining why I'm so ridiculously empathetic. Because. In a way, I've kinda... emulated so many different characters in so many different situations, but in a way that felt absolutely real to me on an emotional level, that I. I get it. In a way. I understand, as much as anyone can understand anything.
Like... my brain runs these complex simulations of what it would be like to be those characters, so deep and in-depth that all the emotions and sensations feel absolutely clear and real, then. The simulation ends. And I just have memory of the simulation and what I experienced while it was happening, and. What those things mean to me now. Then I fit those things I learned into my worldview. Use what I learned. Move on. Do it again. Keep learning.
Oh my god. I think. I think this is why it happens. I think I figured it out.
Brains are... crazy, beautiful machines, aren't they?
I wish I felt comfortable enough to go into specifics about what I've actually experienced with this. Maybe I will at some point.
This is why I need to use this blog more! I swear, the amount of times I've gone to write a blog entry about how much I don't understand something, only to end up finding some understanding halfway through writing about my lack of understanding--

Certainly, it is very painful for us to see people wasting their time miserably.
We want practical magicians, true occultists, and not simple charlatans.
Authentic Gnostic physicians are needed, true magicians and botanists, practical people in medicine and magical matters.
Note from the Editors Much research was done in order to identify the English and scientific names of the plants listed in this book. These have been included as available. In cases where the English name of a specified plant could not be found, the Spanish name of the plant has been listed in quotations. The publisher eagerly seeks additional information regarding the English or scientific names of the as-yet-unidentified plants.
The photographs and illustrations are as accurate as we have been able to determine; however, the reader is well-advised to rely on the text as the authority rather than the images, as there remains the possibility that some photograph or another may be inaccurate.
It should be noted that some of the plants listed in this book are indigenous to specific parts of Colombia, South America, and Mexico.


All too often, the documentation for your project is the last thing you worry about when you are trying to get the application working. Documentation and Source Code are entirely separate issues, right? Frequently the documentation lacks the effort that was put in the code. Because you are working closely with the code, you don't even realize the documentation is lacking. However, if you expect others to use your code, or if you want to re-use the code several months, or possibly years later, the documentation is an essential component of the development effort.
In National Instruments LabVIEW, documentation and source code are tightly bound together, enabling you to write the documentation at the same time that you write the source code. The LabVIEW development environment keeps the documentation, the source code, and the compiled code all neatly organized in VIs, llb files and subdirectories.
Documentation for a VI is easily created: If you consistently write a description for each control as soon as the control is created and include a description of your code in the VI-Information field, LabVIEW takes care of the rest. Once your VI is completed, the documentation is completed as well. Simply select "Print…" from the File-menu. You can then choose which VIs you want printed, and what part of the documentation you are interested in. Not only will you have created a hard-copy of the documentation, the descriptions and information you have entered is available online as well. As most LabVIEW programmers soon realize, the help function is an indispensable tool in developing LabVIEW code. And indeed, the help that appears if you enable the help window is exactly those descriptions of the controls, and the VI information that was entered when the VI was developed!
What has not been available, until the release of the "VI Documentation Manager" by Data Science Automation, is a tool to generate comprehensive source code documentation for an entire project. While it has been possible to generate documentation, both as a hardcopy and as HTML web pages for a list of VIs, this documentation in not organized in any fashion. The "VI Documentation Manager" allows the programmer to generate documentation for an entire tree of VIs (nothing new here), but to also hyperlink the documentation of all the VIs together, such that one can easily drill down to the low-level sub-VIs directly from the documentation of the top-level VI. In addition to the alphabetical index, a hierarchical menu can be created that shows all the VIs at the correct locations in the hierarchical structure, allowing the user to collapse and expand the list of sub-VIs at every level, and click on any VI to view its hyper linked documentation. Indeed, every source code distribution should include this comprehensive documentation as an aid to the user.
"VI Documentation Manager" includes additional features, essential to any LabVIEW software developer. For example, adding a copyright notice to the descriptive text of an entire tree of VIs is a snap. Protecting all your VIs with a password, or removing the password of all the VIs is just as simple.

Yaala Ballin
Yaala Ballin is a jazz musician who has performed in prestigious jazz venues, has toured all over the world, is teaching communities the meaning behind jazz music, and has been a featured artist in international jazz festivals in Israel. Along with all of the performing and teaching, Yaala has also just released her second solo album . AICF caught up with Yaala to learn more about her and what it is like to be a jazz artist.
1) What or who inspired you to want to become an artist?
I don't think I ever made a conscience decision to become at artist. I come from a family where music is an important part of life. It's something that is so connected to our culture. From a very young age, my siblings and I were sent to a conservatory (same conservatory where my mother played percussion). My brother is an amateur (very talented) clarinet player and my sister is a professional bassoon player, working for the Israeli opera house (also a AICF recipient). I studied theory and recorder, then moved to the flute and eventually started singing.
2)What was your creative journey that has brought you to where you are today?
Until the age of 14 I studied classical music and some musical theater (Broadway etc..). One day my sister brought home 3 jazz records: Art Blakey's A Night At Birdland, Chet Baker's Sings and Plays and, my very favorite, Billie Holiday's Lady in Satin. I fell in love! I learned the words to all the songs and I could sing all the solos. When the time came, I decided to audition for The Thelma Yellin High School for Fine Arts. I was accepted as a flute player. That change quickly. Right before the 12th grade, I decided to put the flute down and start singing. It was one of the best decisions I ever made. I started taking lessons with the great Atalia Pniel. From then on, it was very clear to me that this is who I am. It was also clear to me that I must get to NYC. in 2004, after serving in the army, I came to NY to continue the dream.
3) What do you need as an artist today?
Obviously, being an artist means to be a master of your craft. For better or worse, in art, learning and improving is endless. Nowadays, with the progress in technology, the music business has changed. An artist has to be more of a business person. Things like bookings, managing and promoting also became part of our everyday work.
4) What creative project are you working on now?
My latest project is my new album, On The Road, which was released this past July on Gallery Records. The album includes jazz standards from the American Songbook such as I Can't Give You Anything But Love and Cole Porter's Every Time We Say Goodbye. On The Road is a very special album. It was recorded while on tour in Cyprus and features an amazing band, which I feel very fortunate to be a part of. I am part of a program called the Bi-Communal Jazz Futures Workshop, sponsored by the US Department of State. Created by bassist Ari Roland and saxophone player Chris Byars, this program (in its 4th year now) brings both Cypriot communities (Greek and Turkish) together to learn jazz. In the last year, I have taught and performed there 5 times, each time over a one week period. It's an amazing experience! So, I wanted to take advantage of the fact that we were working and playing together all day. The recording was just like another performance. Some of the tracks are first takes.
5) Where do you see yourself and your career in 10 years?
In 10 years I only hope to do what I'm doing now: singing, performing around the world and teaching. Amen!
6) What does it mean to you to be an Israeli artist?
Israel is such an amazing country. The combination of cultures, high motivation and ambition created great forces in the arts. Actors, dancers, artists and musicians are making their mark everywhere. The range of styles is so broad that it allows us to explore our path in many different directions. I'm very happy to be part of this powerful force.
7) What does it mean to you to have an organization like AICF available in the art world?
Education is a very important thing. Education in art might even be more important. To explore, experience and discover your talent, you need the best guidance, especially at a young age. Organizations like the AICF allows us to find these mentors that will influence and inspire us for life.

I will reveal a secret today so you can extract an object from its background in photoshop. This tutorial is mainly for beginners who are new to photoshop. You need photoshop software install on your computer to try out this tutorial.
Once you learn the technique on how to extract any object from photo. You can place that object on any beautiful background.
Let us take one example. I have taken one image of flower which have green background behind. I don't like that background at all but I like that flower very much. So what I'm going to do is removing that flower from the background by using photoshop pen tool.
1] From the left bar select pen tool or just press "P" on the keyboard.
2] Now zoom in your image up to 300% not compulsory but to see edge of the object clearly you have to zoom it to the object for better result.
3] Now start using pen tool, one important thing you should use path mode while using pen tool.
4] You have to select a start point on the object for using pen tool. I prefer the end point of image. You can refer the screenshot.
5] Now select the points around the object using pen tool. Remember you can use by pressing right click you can move path to right left and for breaking point click alt.
6] I will draw complete path around the object. You see I have already complete path around the object.
7] Remember one thing you have to close the path end point. For example please check below image. When you click on the end point it will show you round circle on the pen tool cursor.
8] Go back to your image and right click on the object using pen tool. You will get option tab, click on make selection.
9] Keep feather radius 0 and press ok button.
10] After press ok button, you will see marquee around your object. Press ctr+c to copy the object. Make sure you are on image layer.
11] Ctrl+V to paste the image on the same document or else you can create new image and paste over there. So I have paste the select image on same document and from the layers I will hide main image layer. You can see that background is removed and you have flower removed out from the background.
12] Now you can save your file as psd, so that you use flower image with different choice of background like I did it below.
In this next tutorial I will show how you can remove a person from background using pen tool. You have to use same technique which we used in above tutorial. In this tutorial I will use my photo for the tutorial.
You can see that I'm standing in front of sea. But I want to use my photo on different background. So I'm gonna remove my photo from the background using photoshop pen tool.
So let start with using pen tool and complete the selection area. After completing the selection area, right click and make selection on the object. Now copy the object and paste it on any background you like.
I recommend to use pen tool to extract any object from the background. I'm going to share psd file with you so that you can have a look at the layers. You can download the files from here. Please comments below with your query and don't forget to share this tutorial on social account.
I will definitely come up with more photoshop tutorials in the future. You can also check on how to remove watermark from photo.
