Geneva, January 2019 - Vacheron Constantin has created « DIPTYQUES » A HISTORY OF COLLABORATIONS, an exhibition presented in its Geneva boutique from January 14th to March 26th 2019 before travelling around the world. Seventeen timepieces from the Vacheron Constantin private Heritage collection pay tribute to the encounters that have punctuated the history of the Maison. They retrace the saga of these incredible collaborative endeavours resulting in technical and artistic breakthroughs that have in turn given life to exceptional horological creations and instruments, thereby writing significant chapters in the history of Fine Watchmaking.
« DIPTYQUES » A HISTORY OF COLLABORATIONS, is all about personalities bound by a sense of kinship, mutually enriching visions and complementary skills. People such as Jacques-Barthélémy Vacheron, a technically gifted watchmaker who was the grandson of the Maison's founder; and astute businessman and intrepid traveller François Constantin, who combined their talents in 1819. This encounter, of which the bicentenary is being celebrated in 2019, gave rise to the signature of the Maison, a subtle balance between horological excellence and stylistic virtuosity, and to its motto: "Do better if possible, and that is always possible". Diptyques tells the story of how the ensuing encounters in turn contributed to ever greater advancements.
From Emile Plantamour to Albert Pellaton, from Raymond Moretti to Michel Butor, intellectual and manual intelligence lie at the heart of this extraordinary watchmaking epic, driven by a taste for challenges and passion. Human beings are both the architects and artisans of these large-scale projects. They embody this visionary, enlightened thought, as well as the expertise that is its logical extension. Hired by Vacheron Constantin in 1839 as a watchmaker specialising in mechanics and construction, Georges-Auguste Leschot invented the revolutionary pantograph, designed to standardise the production of watch movements and to enable industrial-scale component manufacture. In 1932, Louis Cottier developed the world time display indicating the time zones by means of an ingenious rotating disc device. Ferdinand Verger, a renowned jeweller with a knowledge of watchmaking, made a Fabergé egg for the tsar in 1880 comprising a Vacheron Constantin movement. His sons proved themselves worthy heirs by making watches with complications and richly decorated clocks until the 1930s. In 2010, Anita Porchet, an expert in the art of miniature enamelling, created a masterpiece for the Maison: a watch identically reproducing the ceiling of the Opéra Garnier as painted by Marc Chagall.
Vacheron Constantin thereby highlights these numerous synergies. Each is a challenge, a bold move, a wild dream come true through the genius of these watchmakers and artisans. Each is a unique brick in the Haute Horlogerie edifice to which Vacheron Constantin contributes, as a trailblazing pioneer and inveterate builder.
" DIPTYQUES": A HISTORY OF COLLABORATIONS exhibition, from January 14th to March 26th 2019.
Vacheron Constantin Boutique, Place de Longemalle 1, Geneva. Monday to Friday from 10am to 6.30pm and Saturday from 10am to 5pm.


Even though templates are not part of Backbone.js, I believe it's critical to have a basic understanding of templates. Templates are a core component that will be used with Backbone.js Views.
Templates will help us separate code from the HTML markup. When MVC is discussed in regards to server side (Ruby on Rails, ASP.NET MVC) the "V" is for view. Views are implemented different in Backbone than in most server side technologies. On the server side, views should be extremely dumb and very little logic if any should be include.

Q: Is my code crashes because I did not set the value of head node? So the function which I am working is erase() [Erases node or nodes in list from first to, but not including last: [first, last). When last is not given, erase only first node]. I successfully did all test cases except cases when I need to delete the head node. There are no specific node.head or anything like that in this project to change it. And I am pretty sure that problem is related to head node.
(Sorry for my English it is not my first language and also I am first time working with Linked List)
Here is my code:
def erase(self, first: Node, last: Node = None) -> Node:
  #Case 3 (front)
    if first.prev is self.node and last is None:
        nxt = first.next
        nxt.prev = self.node
        first.next = self.node
        first.prev = self.node
        first = None

        return nxt.next

The simplest example is this:
0 <-> 2
and after running erase(lst.node.next) result should be this:
2
But sadly I am not getting it (Only if the node that should be removed is head node)

A: If you want to drop a single node, just set the neighbor links to the opposite neighbor.
def erase(self, first: Node, last: Node = None) -> Node:
  #Case 3 (front)
    if last == None:  # remove first node only
       if first.next:
           first.next.prev = first.prev # link next to prev
       if first.prev:
           first.prev.next = first.next # link prev to next
       return first.next or first.prev  # return next node, else prev node

Tsvangirai committed to "equitable" deal with Robert Mugabe
Mugabe and Tsvangirai signed a broad power-sharing deal brokered by South Africa's former president Thabo Mbeki on September 15 but the agreement has since stalled over who should run which ministries.
Tsvangirai, who is set to become prime minister if the power-sharing government takes off, also said Zimbabwe badly needed a political settlement to address a dire economic crisis that had given left millions of people hungry.
"We want to see a finality to this issue," he said, adding that nobody would force him into joining an administration in which the government would have responsibilities but no power.
"We are committed to the agreement that we signed on September 15 but it is not some unconditional commitment," he said in an address delivered both in English and the local Shona language.
Tsvangirai says Mugabe is trying to seize important ministries and sideline his opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC), told a rally on Saturday he hoped a regional summit on the issue in Harare on Monday would solve the problem.
"Our commitment is to an equitable power-sharing arrangement otherwise we are not going to be part to it and we may as well look for alternative political options," he said, adding:
"When it comes to negotiations, no one is to bully us."
Tsvangirai boycotted a mini summit of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) in Swaziland last Monday, citing Harare's refusal to give him a new passport instead of the emergency travel document he got for the trip.
On Saturday, the MDC leader said his party had high respect for SADC and the African Union, and wanted the Zimbabwe crisis to be solved by Africans.
"We have very serious respect for SADC and the AU but they must reciprocate that respect. We don't want the (Zimbabwe) issue to go outside Africa," he said, hardly a week after his party suggested the United Nations should intervene.
But Tsvangirai warned against Mbeki's quiet mediation style.
"We respect Mbeki but quiet diplomacy has its limits if it leads to quiet approval of wrong things," he said.
Tsvangirai said Zimbabwe needs to reach a deal quickly to turn its attention to food shortages and an inflation that had soared to over 230 million percent.
"People are starving around the country, scrounging. Some are competing with baboons for wild fruits," he said of food shortages.

The Mediterranean Sea has always been connected with the idea of cultural origin, trade, movement and tourism. As an essential setting for human development, this region of mild weather was one of the most inhabited places. 14.24 is inspired by the idea of temporary lapse, origin, destination and notion of journey. Taking the migratory movements as a starting point, the project focuses on the ideas of perception, construction and notion of space and place through a series of photographs showing different landscapes of Mediterranean coast areas lit up by the moonlight.
Through images, I set only one scene faced with multiple interpretations, allowing the fluctuation of the conflict generated by this diversity of readings before the represented image. With no light at all, these places are turned into unknown spaces with no referents to be located as an anthropological subject. For people arriving, however, these unknown spaces contain the ability to mutate and become places where to settle, in order to draw a vital story and develop new identity silhouettes for which the photography is a medium with the ability to provide new reading contexts, reflecting the oneiric element of a desire for search, risk and metamorphosis, always implicit in every journey.
Different points of the Mediterranean peninsular coast, the Canary Islands, Italy and Greece have been photographed since 2009. Nowadays, the migratory flows respond to causes which are more violent than the desire to get into unexplored land and find new settlements for the human race. I try to suggest a landscape where the picture boundaries fade away, a landscape which acts as a witness of time in multiple dimensions —climatological and luminous, systemic and political. Conceived as an opportunity and as a space open to the journey, it is a landscape which goes beyond vision conveying it a meaning; especially in the last years, particularly tragic when we have been witnesses of the decay of the structures which were the foundations of the idea of a Europe which appeared to be solid. However, it is not solid anymore and it does not work either.
14.24 is the distance in kilometres between Africa and Europe.
The work of Juan Fabuel is placed between intimate and social structures, using fiction as an efficient tool to speak about reality and representativeness. He is aware that by altering and remodeling reality, new meanings and interpretations about the things and facts that we believe to know are generated, which will eventually lead to develop new connotations and questions about ourselves. His artwork forgets about narrative and focuses on dynamics, dealing with our perception of the so-called reality, interpersonal relations, memory, time and the way that we interact with different emotional and physical landscapes.

It's a story that takes place all over India. Poor people deprived of their rights. Recently in Uttar Pradesh a young mechanic from Sitapur unearthed a scam when he decided to check why his father's old age pension had not arrived. Under the old age pension scheme, the Department of Social Welfare is to pay Rs 300 per month to the poor who are over 65 years of age. Rs 700 crore has been set aside for this scheme yearly, but now it has been discovered that almost a lakh of the beneficiaries are not true beneficiaries at all. Villages like Gorakhpur, Kaushambi, Lakhimpur Kheri, Mirzapur and Mahoba are also victims of this scam. In a belated move, the state government is now physically checking the lists in all villages.
The misuse of government funds happens all over India ofcourse. Dedicated chief ministers like Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy (who died in a helicopter crash a few days ago) like to make surprise checks in villages to ensure that the monies set aside for the poor are actually reaching them. Most states don't seem to care. We know what happened in Maharashtra. Very little of the crores set aside for the relief of farmers actually reached them. Recently, social activist and journalist Vilas Wankhede put in an RTI application and discovered what appears to be a huge scam relating to relief schemes for farmers who committed suicide in Maharashtra's Vidarbha region. And he has accused a six-time former Member of Parliament (MP), relatives of a sitting Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) and several former MLAs.
And that is what the film Mohandas – A Man Lost In His Own Nation touches upon. It is a movie which is dedicated to whistleblowers like Manjunath Shanmugam, and Satyendra Dubey who blew the lid of scams which involved crores of rupees and as a result had to pay with their lives. A list of those who defied the system is here. Given in a comment on this blog by Vikram. However, this movie is not about a whistle blower per se, and nor is it about Mohandas Gandhi, the father of our nation, although it does tell us about a poor lawyer who decides to help the protagonist Mohandas despite threats to his life.
The protagonist in this movie is a poor naive village boy called Mohandas whose identity is stolen by another. Mohandas is Gandhiji's common man and hence the name. The villain conspirators in the movie take the trouble to steal Mohandas' identity so that they can benefit by crores of rupees. Getting into the details of this would reveal the plot and that can't be done as suspense is an important element in the movie.
The movie is based on a short story by Uday Prakash and the story is the best thing about the movie. It is a powerful heart rending story with twists and turns that leaves you praying for a happy ending. Another great thing about this movie is its setting. Most of the story takes place in a village called Anuppur in Madhya Pradesh, and it was shot in a real village in Sonbhadra district in Uttar Pradesh.
The cinematography is excellent, and why shouldn't it be. It is none other than the cinematographer of Satya fame Mazhar Kamran, who is behind the camera. And he is the director as well, this being his debut film as director. He has done a great job as a director. The film moves fairly fast and suspense is maintained throughout. Characters are developed well, and are not stereotypes. There are no glamorous faces, only real faces and real people.
However, I think Kamran made a mistake in casting Nakul Vaid as Mohandas. Nakul Vaid looks like a city bred yuppie with his plump and rosy cheeks and the casual chic that he displays in his posture and style. By no stretch of the imagination could he pass off for a villager, not even in fancy dress. That is all it seemed anyway. A city man dressed up as a villager. The couple chosen as his parents are so perfect, it makes Vaid all the more unreal in this role. Wrong casting makes it difficult to empathise with the character. Throughout the movie I got a feeling that Nakul Vaid is not really Mohandas, but simply an actor pulled in to play his part. A play within a play.
The other main character in the movie is the reporter Meghna, played by Sonali Kulkarni. She is better for her role, although not perfect. It was difficult to believe that her character was a top notch reporter in a news channel as she came across more as a fresher with 2-3 years of experience. Not a thing one would complain about in a mainstream movie. But this is supposed to be a "real" movie so the expectations are higher.
Overall the acting of all the people in this movie was average and at times stilted and stiff. Sonali's scenes with her colleagues seemed artificial and it is here that the inexperience of the director shows.
If one has to sum up, this is a serious thought provoking film. As a judge in the movie laments, goondas and mobsters have penetrated all democratic institutions in this country, and it has made a mockery of our democracy. This is the main message of the movie and while it may sound cynical to some, it does seem to be the truth. The movie gives out little hope because it tells us that though one can move a few mountains at the ground level because of the efforts of a few people, the real problem lies at the top.
From the real life examples I gave at the beginning of this post, it is clear that unless there is political will to root out the corruption, nothing will change in this country.
hmm… looks like it could have been a great movie if in hands of a good director..
Not for one moment am I suggesting that the fact that America ended up okay, means the same for India. But we do have a chance, and it is the people in that list you linked to that are showing us the way.
P.S.: One must realize that this was the letter of the son of an elite Indian (a rich landlord whose children became communist) and not that of a Dalit woman. But I think that one of the things Indian;s have achieved over the last 60 years is that now a Dalit girl can migrate and say what she thinks.
yes there are people, but are they organized? No.
Will do a post on this topic soon.
Reached your blog searching about swine flu.
I also like seeing things in a different angle.
The state of our land. It will improve. But whether we will witness all these, I am not sure. But our children will live in a cleaner India.
After all our's is a great nation.
Nita, at what point in time did this happen, and who is responsible for it? Indira Gandhi and Sanjay Gandhi around Emergency?
A Conversation with Uday Prakash is here.
Dedicated chief ministers like Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy.. I don't know for sure.But read another part of life when he has given free hands to his son..
Thanks for sharing that link with us Vikram and Nita. It turned out to be quite an eye opener. I had no idea so many people had given up their lives for the cause. They are the real heroes!
oorja, the pessimism comes when one feels that one has to do a lot, that the task ahead of us is huge. Instead of that if each one of us simply focuses on the little that we can do, it goes a long way as we are all doing it and little drops is what makes a sea. Whether it is sponsoring an orphan's education, living our life honestly, protesting any injustice done to us, refusing to pay bribes and so on. All of these things matter. The worst thing is cynicism which leads us to go along with the system.
Vinod, not sure what you mean.
Vikram, not everyone would agree that America turned out OK. 🙂 And ofcourse people like those show us the way. Not just people like those, but all those who lead honest lives and refuse to be suppressed by the system. All those who seek information and fight for their rights.
Ganga, yes I agree. When I was 12 I told my friends that when I grow up India will not be so poor, India will be a world power. At that time people thought I was just a nationalist. Today they realise that it is possible. And if we had hope then, it certainly makes more sense to have more hope now. At that time we didn't even know what was wrong!
Vishesh, it is not necessary for everyone to organise themselves into groups and make a stand. Ofcourse those who do it are doing a great service to this country. But all of us can do our little bit. If you read my reply to Oorja you will know what I mean.
Amit, these things happen slowly. At the time of independence India was clean. One used to say look that man is corrupt! It was unusual. Today we point fingers and say look that man is honest! That is how India has changed. I personally believe that the socialist raj where government people had no accountability is responsible. The past has shown us that socialism did not help the poor, because unless you have money generated, the poor can't be helped. Unfortunately socialism also protected govt servants. Govt was swathed in secrecy and red tape which allowed corruption to flourish. Today with the RTI act, and citizens becoming more empowered, this is changing. It took half a century to make India the way it is, and it will take another half a century I think before we see a change. I believe the change has started. People have hope, otherwise they won't risk their lives.
yayaver, yes there is a lot to hope for. I think India is changing. I hope the icard system which Nandan Nikekani is in charge of, will help it along. And thanks for the links.
Thanks for the post, Nita. I don't know when I will be able to, but now I do want to see the film.
I also liked the way you've threaded and combined the two segments into one post.
Dedicated Chief Minsiter? Who???!!! Y S Rajasekhara Reddy!!!
He is dedicated to his Son and his businesses.
'kkrishna's konfessions' by smita jain is a hilariously written novel which touches upon the life of an ultramodern media woman caught suddenly in the perils of a modernising india where you won't expect what can befall you all of a sudden.
nita..yes it is. you may even know her, being in the media line yourself. anyway, she is a tv/movie script writer and a journo. the book as such does not give too much of a brain excercise but it is a sit-through at one go and i won't tell you more if you plan to read it.
If these bribes are taken unofficially in India (against the law), they are taken officially in the United States (through hopelessly high bonus packages etc). They even started distributing high bonus amounts for top officials of the companies (from the aid amount) after going bankrupt! I would definitely not take inspiration from such a system either.
Nita,I am sure I would not have seen the movie.
Did you say dedicated CM YSR???
His only interest was to promote his son's business running into thousands of crores.
Whenever and whatever is written about anyone in politics,leads to corruption.
Sorry for going off the subject,but it hurts when one sees these fellows behaving like noblemen.
This sounds like a very interesting concept, Nita. Thanks for the review…i'll try to catch this movie.
Hopefully we will get to see more of such meaningful movies, unlike the silly stuff going around these days!
Seems like a nice movie to watch. I have to catch this movie sometime. Good review!
Nita, I have posted a reply to Vishesh's comment but it isnt showing up. Can you check ?
Vikram, for some reason it had gone into my spam folder. Just retrieved it.
I came looking for your blog because I remember reading something about racial discrimination, especially of North Eastern People some two odd years back. Your blogg is still full of vigour and freshness that I encountered last time I visited your blogg.
Well, as to scams in public department, better not say. It is so much day today activity, you know, it seems to pass off as a matter of routine.
Only effective education to the masses can eradicate. As of now, the literate and educated ones are on the side of groups if not part of, who are scheming such scams not on the side of affected people. Once the affected people are educated enough to be conscious of their right, the system itself will self right itself. Till than, there will be occasional acts of bravery, whose appreciation will get folded up in the books of few intellectuals.
Disseminate education with earnestness, this is the only panacea to all social,political and economic evils.
Hi danisulu, welcome back. And thanks. True what you say, education brings awareness of rights. But what is frightening is also the kind of apathy one sees around. I am not sure whether it is just posturing but there are educated people who say they don't protest because "nothing will happen." Maybe it's laziness, or an excuse, but it cannot be the truth. Things do happen. If not the first time, then the next, or the next, or the next.
This type of movies are hardly made this days but as the movie publicity fails to reach people we are unknown about the reality shown in the movie.
An interesting film I must say, though, the film could have been a lot better had he actually focused on the the main idea about identity in the social and political context rather then shifting into a complete redundant plot line, a reason for which, the last shot of the film feels forced and fake.


A couple of days ago we posted about when Ringo Starr collapsed with tonsillitis and was hospitalised on the eve of The Beatles' 1964 world tour. Here's how it ended.
The band's manager Brian Epstein and their producer George Martin discussed using a stand-in drummer, rather than canceling part of the tour. Martin suggested Jimmie Nicol, a drummer he had recently worked with and who had been the session drummer on some cover recordings of Beatles songs. It took some convincing, but the band finally agreed to use Jimmy until Ringo could return.
Nicol's first concert with The Beatles took place just 27 hours later on June 4th at the KB Hallen in Copenhagen, Denmark. The tour then went on to Australia.
When the band arrived in Australia, they were met by thousands of screaming fans, they rode in limos, the whole rock star trip. Jimmy played a total of eight shows until Starr rejoined the group in Melbourne, Australia, on June 14th.
Here is a picture of Jimmy, now an-X Beatle, waiting for his plane to take him back to the UK 54 years ago today.
It had to be on hell of a ride, short as it was.

UAE and Saudi Arabia hold talks with Yemen's Al Islah party
It comes as the dynamics of Yemen's war have become more complex with the collapse earlier this month of the alliance between Houthi rebels and supporters of former president Ali Abdullah Saleh
Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces meets with Saudi Crown Prince Mohamed bin Salman (C) and Al Islah chairman Colonel Mohammed Abdullah Al Yidoumi (R) in Riyadh on December 13, 2017. Mohamed Al Hammadi / Crown Prince Court - Abu Dhabi
Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman have held talks in Riyadh with Yemen's Islamist Al Islah party.
It comes as the dynamics of Yemen's war have become more complex with the collapse earlier this month of the alliance between Houthi rebels and supporters of former president Ali Abdullah Saleh. Saleh was killed on Monday last week by the Iran-backed rebels who have since gone after members of his General People's Congress party. The two sides had joined together to fight pro-government forces backed by a Saudi-led military coalition that includes the UAE.
During the meeting in Riyadh on Wednesday, Sheikh Mohammed and Prince Mohammed reviewed the latest developments in Yemen with Al Islah chairman Colonel Mohammed Abdullah Al Yidoumi and secretary-general Abdulwahab Ahmad Al Anisi. The four men also discussed efforts to achieve security and stability for the Yemeni people, according to state news agency Wam.
Al Islah fighters have been fighting alongside forces loyal to Yemeni president Abdrabu Mansur Hadi in Marib province, east of Sanaa, for three years.
The war in Yemen began in September 2014 when the Houthis captured Sanaa before later advancing south and forcing Mr Hadi's internationally recognised government to relocate to the southern city of Aden. The Saudi-led coalition intervened in March 2015 and has since helped pro-government forces to retake much of the south. The Houthis still hold Sanaa, however, along with large areas of the north.

Houthis believed to have moved Iranian missile expert's body across Yemeni capital
Opinion: The volatile history of oil, gas and water production in Yemen continues
Maged Al Da'arri, a political analyst and the editor of Yemen's Hadramout newspaper, said Sheikh Mohammed and Prince Salman met the Al Islah party leaders to provide them with the opportunity to prove their good intentions in terms of working with the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen.
"Mohammed Bin Salman had met Al Islah party leaders two months ago and he met them again yesterday with [Sheikh] Mohammed bin Zayed," Mr Al Da'arri told The National on Thursday.
"That means that the Gulf leaders are trying to combine the different sides in Yemen to work collaboratively in order to be able to liberate the provinces that are still held by the Houthis."
Al Islah has close links with the Muslim Brotherhood, which has been outlawed as a terror group by both the UAE and Saudi Arabia.

Q: Simple harmonic motion on a vertical spring Say we have a spring attached vertically to a wall. Now, let's assume that we attach a mass to the spring, but we do not let the spring extend just yet (we could hold the mass on our palm for example). Now, based on my understanding, a new equilibrium position should be established below our current equilibrium position (perhaps it hasn't been established yet, that might be the source of my misunderstanding). So technically speaking, right now, relative to the new equilibrium position, the spring is compressed. That seems very counterintuitive to me because it would seem odd that suddenly, just by attaching the mass and without having the spring move at all, there is compression of the string (i.e a force).
Also, say we now release the mass (suddenly, not slowly). It appears to me that it will come back to this initial position it was at, and if that's really what happens, I would say it's intuitive that the spring is compressed. It's just the first step that's giving me trouble.
Could someone please point out my source of misunderstanding?
EDIT: Check out https://phet.colorado.edu/sims/html/masses-and-springs/latest/masses-and-springs_en.html

A: The spring is compressed relative to the new equilibrium, but that is not the same thing as saying the spring becomes compressed relative to it's unstretched/uncompressed position. If you are holding the mass at the unstretched/uncompressed length of the spring then the spring won't exert a force on the mass when you attach it.

A: About the compressions. ..when considering SHM on a vertical spring...the compression and streching of the spring is always with respect to the equillibrium position or also known as mean position....
The equilibrium position is where the net force of the system is zero now by system its only the spring and mass....any other additional force you provide (lets say holding the mass up) is external and not belonging to the system so it compress or stretch the spring. (In your case you provide an additional force upwards which dosnt belong to the system hence compressing the spring).....so you should remove such forces before locating the equilibrium position..and the compression or streching (rarefaction) of the spring should be calculated from this equilibrium position...
Note that you might consider the system to be in equilibrium when you hold the mass up....but this is not the equilibrium position....its just equilibrium. ...the equillibrium position is when the spring balances the weight on its own....so as soon as the weight is released it tends to move down and comes to the equilibrium position....
Another fact is that...with respect to the equilibrium point before adding the weight...the spring is now streched ...
and with respect to the now equilibrium point. ..the spring was previously compressed.....its all with respect to each other but in SHM we mostly consider the new equilibrium points as the reference and ignore the previous once
So your spring is clearly compressed when you hold the weight up with your palm even though the spring didnt move .
And when you release the spring it wont come back to the initial position but travel harmonic motion (cant be sure its a SHM) and come back to the newly formed equilibrium position... (assuming its a small weight cause if the weight is large then the spring stretches excessively and may not come back up to the equilibrium position)

What you won't get with this program is a meal plan, a one size fits all exercise program, or a guarantee!
A meal plan can be mindless. Instead we will create mindfulness and provide you with resources and information for you to make decisions on what meals, snacks and foods you want to eat. You will be learning through this journey the best choices in foods and you will be given many resources to create your own recipes. You will also understand and try intermittent fasting.
A one size fits all exercise program leads to failure. Heather will work with you for you to create a fitness regime that works for you and your schedule, whether it is classes at Sweat Like A Girl, Personal Training, online fitness or something else that suits your needs best, she will help you create a schedule!
There is no guarantee that this program will work, because this program is dependent on YOU. You will get out of it what you put into it. Heather, however, will be with you every step and she will help you stay on track and keep you moving forward. By doing this, you will have the best chance at reaching your goals and finding success not just for the duration of this program, but for your entire life!

Motorola launches Razr2: is the fear of the iPhone 90?
Let's try for a moment to put ourselves in his shoes. Edward J. Zander, Ed for friends, is 60 years old. He has led Motorola since 2004, the company that among other things invented the cell phone and that produced the most beautiful processors in the world (together with IBM and Apple) before completely losing the thread and breaking up the division under the name of the Freescale. The company has a market value of $ 41.48 billion and its shares, which were worth $ 58.45 in March 2000, are now worth $ 18.32. He, Ed, also headed Sun Microsystems and earned $ 11 million and $ 853,000 in 774 to sit on Motorola's "hottest" seat. In 2006, Motorola's net profit for the last quarter has a sign negative preceding the red figure of 181 million dollars. There is a problem in the market: the world of mobile telephony has been accelerating dramatically in the past six months. How to solve it? By launching the Motorola Razr clone, the wonder phone that has its time has made a difference, just like the iPod for Apple.
But unlike Apple, which built an ecosystem and platform around the iPod, Motorola basically only cashed in the revenue and earnings of an unexpected success, followed by a whole generation of "cos-cos" phones. And now? With the Motorola Razr2 arriving in the US in July with the role of "beautiful" of the fin house and with the new V8 model that wants to make the "smart" of the situation instead, Motorola plays an important card. A paper that even the Wall Street Journal, historically "friend" of the main US telephone manufacturer opposed to competition from Koreans and Europeans (a bit like the Boeing-Airbus fight, on which the Journal equally deployed) defined with optimism " if nothing else, a transitional telephone ".
What is it that pushes Motorola to accelerate so madly in the hope of returning to profit if for no other reason? What is the dark evil that is wearing down Ed Zander? Samsung and Nokia are the ones who are making clean slates around the company, of course. But maybe there is more. Just like with Microsoft, Apple bothers you. Consume space. Threaten the image. It wears out the very idea of brand and leadeship. Apple is about to land (now a month away) in the mobile phone market, and Motorola feels in the bones (and Zander even in the eventuality of losing his armchair) that it could be she who took the hit. Because first of all, when Apple enters a market, even if the share remains minimal, it tends to attract the attention of the media and consumers, as is already happening with the iPhone. And to eat the competitors alive, reduced to the rank of producers of scrap metal inelegant.
And then, in these crazy technological markets, where only one spot-on product can make a difference, there is also another subtle fear. Steve Jobs was unusually humble by presenting the iPhone last January in San Francisco. He praised his talents and ability, innovation and originality. But, in the end, on the hypothesis of "eating oneself alive" the market, a very conservative state. To the limit of the modest, which is also unusual for the character. The others then thought about putting the flea in the ear of the rest of the world: journalists, analysts, consumers. What if the iPhone really made a difference, as not even the iPod made it? If only the sky was the limit on sales? If the 100 million in six years of the iPod were bruscolini, in a market that in 2006 touched the billion sold pieces, 100 million of which smart phones, such as that of mobile telephony?
Do you understand why the old Ed in these weeks must have a damned headache, every day, that never gives up?

Identification of alu elements in the mnc - major histocompatibility complex - of prosimians
Start date 1 March 1996
End date 28 February 1998
Max-Planck-Gesellschaft zur Förderungder Wissenschaften e.V.
The chromosomal region constituting the major histocompatibility comple (Mhc) has undergone complex evolution which is often difficult to decipher. An important aid in the elucidation of the Mhc evolution is the presence of Alu elements (repeats) which serve as markers for tracing chromosomal rearrangements. As the first step toward the stablishment of sets of evolutionary markers for the Mhc, Alu elements present in selected Mhc haplotypes of different prosimians species will be identified.
Restriction fragments of lambda phage clones from the libraries of thos mentioned species will be hybridized with Alu-specific probes, Alu elements will be amplified by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and the amplification products subsequently sequenced. Assignments of the Alu elements obtained to the different specific-families will be done and then, putative duplication times of the different DRB genes stablished. Finally, comparison of Alu content in prosimians and primates will help to decipher the evolutionary mechanisms driving the actual composition and differential localisation of the Mhc-DRB genes.

The United Nations Statistics Division, United Nations Environment Programme, and the Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity have launched the project "Natural Capital Accounting and Valuation of Ecosystem Services" in China. The project, funded by the European Union, aims to mainstream natural capital accounting and valuation of ecosystem services in data driven decision and policy making.
The objective of the inception mission is to undertake consultations, together with the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) of China, with various line minsitries and stakeholders for the development of a work programme for the implementation of the System of Environmental-Economic Accounting Experimental Ecosystem Accounting (SEEA EAA) in China.
A stakeholder consultation meeting, hosted by the NBS, will take place from 1 to 2 November 2017 in Beijing, China, to 1) officially launch the project in China; 2) to identify how the SEEA EEA could support sustainable development policy initiatives in China, 3) to discuss and elaborate the statistical programme of Natural Capital Accounting in China, and 4) to discuss and agree on the project management arrangements and the work programme for the implementation of the project.

HAPPIEST SEASON Review
Dave Griffiths
Rating - 4 / 5
TITLE: Happiest Season
SCREENWRITER: Clea DuVall, Mary Holland
STARTING: Kristen Stewart, Mackenzie Davis
CINEMATIC RELEASE DATES: 26th November 2020 (Australia)
HOME ENTERTAINMENT RELEASE DATES: 25th November 2020 (USA), 26th November 2020 (UK)
CLASSIFICATIONS: M (Australia), 12 (UK), PG-13 (USA)
Yes it is almost February but the Christmas movies just keep coming this year. Now it is time for Happiest Season to be released in Phuket and one thing about this film should tell you straight away that this film is not going to be 'just another Christmas movie' – and that is the fact that it stars Kristen Stewart.
Stewart is an actress that we should all feel sorry for. Most people still unfairly refer to her as the 'Twilight girl' despite the fact that she had a pretty decent filmography behind her before she stepped into the shoes of Bella Swan and since that outing has made a number of more serious cinematic classics Cafe Society and Clouds Of Sils Maria. Yes, she also made Charlie's Angels but we will give her a free pass for that one because she is one actress that normally knows how to pick a film with an interesting script.
In Happiest Season she plays Abby, a young gay woman in a relationship with the love of her life, Harper (Mackenzie Davis – Blade Runner 2049), but hasn't really celebrated Christmas since the death of her parents several years before. In a moment of Christmas spirit Harper invites Abby to go and spend Christmas with her family but then instantly regrets it when the next day she remembers that she has never told her parents she is gay.
The pair create a story that Abby is Harper's orphaned house-mate and Harper promises to tell her parents the truth after Christmas. But then when they arrive they discover that Harper's father, Ted (Victor Garber – Titanic), is mounting a political campaign for Mayor fuelled by her mother, Tipper (Mary Steenburgen – Step Brothers), who is in full campaign mode. But as the weekend goes on Abby sees a darker side to Harper as she competes with her sister (Alison Brie – Community) and continues to hurt Abby.
As Abby then finds herself confused by her relationship and Harper's attitude she finds herself listening more and more to her best friend, John (Dan Levy – Schitt's Creek), and Harper's ex Riley (Aubrey Plaza – Ingrid Goes West).
Just like Last Christmas last year Happiest Season is the kind of Christmas film that even the most seasons cinema-goer can enjoy. Director/screen-writer Clea DuVall (The Intervention) makes sure that there is no cheesy Christmas moments in the film – instead she has created serious relationship drama that at times contains just as much suspense as a thriller.
The key to that feeling being created is that DuVall has made her lead characters likable. Abby is sensationally set up in such a way that as an audience you instantly care about her and even though Harper is the 'baddie' for a majority of the film you do also still feel for her as you can see why she is trying to protect herself.
That same script also creates some amazing side characters that are further enhanced by the actors and actresses playing them. Dan Levy is sensational and comical as Abby's gay best friend while Aubrey Plaza is so likable as Riley that there are times throughout the film where you find yourself kind of hoping that she and Abby end up together. Then there is Mary Holland (Good Posture) who steals every scene she is in as Harper's 'challenged' sister Jane.
Happiest Season is a relationship drama with heart. The fact that the film is set at Christmas time almost becomes incidental as the film goes on. Instead it becomes more a film about people struggling with their own identity and being honest with the people around them. Stewart is sensational in the lead role and is well supported by a talented cast that mix comedy and drama together brilliantly well.

Bahamas Papers is the latest to expose 475 India-linked names
The latest exposure has been termed as the 'Bahamas Papers' that has listed nearly 475 companies, trusts and people related to India registered in the tax. The corporate personalities have been named across the sectors including real estate, electronics, media and entertainment.
The exposed papers includes some of the names like, Anil Agarwal from the Vedanta Group, Kabir Mulchandani from Baron Group and Fashion TV India promoter Aman Gupta. The leaks have been reported by a popular newspaper in India that said that the cache of documents is with the German newspaper Suddeutche Zeitung which has shared it with the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists and its media partners including the Indian newspaper.
The paper has also mentioned that the 475 names are a part of more than 175,000 global ones and that the bleaks do not indicate any illegality on part of the off-shore holdings. The non-resident Indians who are citizens of other countries do not violate the Indian law in case they hold such companies. The latest leaks have come just a few days before the September 30, 2016 deadline of the Indian government for individuals corporates to declare their hidden wealth.
They have also been asked to pay a 45% penalty. The name of Anil Agarwal was linked with a trust in which he is named as the director.

Alert actions by a science supply business and an international shipping business separately sounded alarms that led federal agents to a Saudi Arabian man's Lubbock apartment, where they found almost everything needed to manufacture one or more bombs.
Khalid Ali-M Aldawsari's efforts to buy the one missing ingredient, a liquid chemical called phenol, prompted employees at Carolina Biological Supply and Con-Way Inc. to contact the Federal Bureau of Investigation with suspicions about the purchase and the buyer.
"One day after shipping the product we became aware that the order was suspicious. We immediately notified the FBI and ordered the product returned to us. It was returned and never delivered to Mr. Aldawsari," according to a statement issued by the Burlington, N.C.-based science supply business.
According to the FBI affidavit, the order was shipped via Con-Way Freight. Aldawsari asked that the package - 10 500-milliliter bottles of concentrated phenol -be held for pickup at Con-Way's Lubbock freight office.
Gary Frantz, director of corporate communications for the San Mateo, Calif.-based freight company, said: "The shipment matched profiles outlined in Con-way's security protocols for identifying shipments of a suspicious nature, and which appeared for use not consistent with known commercial application of the product. These concerns triggered the company's Homeland Security escalation plan."
According to the FBI's affidavit, Aldawsari also juggled the shipping conditions on an order for nitric acid. When the supplier on that order said it couldn't ship the chemical to a residential address, the suspect gave the address of a FedEx Office store on University Avenue near Aldawasari's apartment on Glenna Goodacre Boulevard.
However, he picked up that package from Con-Way's Lubbock terminal.
Jim McCluskey, a FedEx spokesman, explained that the acid shipment would not have been accepted at a FedEx Office location, because company policy prohibits having "dangerous goods" on the premises.
"The safety of our residents is our highest priority. McDougal Properties thanks local and federal law enforcement for their professionalism in handling this matter," said company President Michael C. McDougal in a written statement.


Does possum make a stiff enough wing?
RUH - Real Ungulate Hair; had to change the name since I used elk for the body/wing and moose for the tail in addition to the deer hair hackle. A single wing (semi-comparadun) would have saved some steps; change color/size to suit your needs.
Since my friend in Missoula keeps me well-stocked with upland game pelts, I figured I could supply him with some stuff for the springtime hatches. Looks like the Root has come down from the big spike on Wednesday so maybe he can find some fish looking up. A #12 may seem a bit big for March Browns but the fly has a pretty small footprint on the water and the fish down there are as dumb as posts anyway.

Episode: "Isaiah"
"He was despised… by His stripes we are healed … all we like sheep have gone astray" (Isaiah 53:3, 5, 6). The most quoted prophet of the Old Testament, Isaiah's writings point many to the deliverance found only in Yeshua/Jesus.
Series: "Divine Deliverance"
from Avraham to Yeshua
In this series, we examine how the Lord offered a message of deliverance through 12 significant Bible characters, beginning with faithful Abraham and culminating with Messiah Himself. Dr. Jeffrey Seif teaches on location in Israel and discusses the lesson's application with David and Kirsten Hart in the studio. We enjoy enlightening dramatic re-enactments from past series, along with Zola's music, completely re-orchestrated and sung by David and Kirsten.
Caption transcript for Divine Deliverance: "Isaiah" (8/12)
00:01 Jeffrey Seif: I was walking down the street one day
00:03 and a guy showed me the prophet Isaiah in the Bible.
00:07 The rest is history.
00:09 Transformed my life and now we're looking at divine
00:12 deliverance in general and Isaiah in particular.
00:17 ♪♪♪
00:22 male announcer: From the beginning, our Creator revealed
00:26 his will to the common man.
00:28 Individuals listened to his call and responded in obedience.
00:34 From the first Hebrew Avraham to the culmination of salvation
00:38 in Messiah himself, the Lord faithfully intervenes
00:43 with his divine deliverance.
00:55 David Hart: We're so glad you've joined us today
00:56 on "Zola Levitt Presents" I'm David Hart.
00:58 Kirsten Hart: I'm Kirsten Hart.
00:59 Jeffrey: Jeffrey Seif.
01:01 Kirsten: We are in our series, "Divine Deliverance,"
01:02 and today is all about the prophet Isaiah.
01:05 I grew up in a musical home.
01:06 My parents were ministers of music.
01:08 We sang the Messiah every single year so we know his words
01:12 but we don't know a lot about the man Isaiah himself.
01:17 If I'm not wrong, he foretold about Messiah
01:20 more than any other prophet in the Old Testament?
01:22 Jeffrey: Yes, he's not only a major prophet in song;
01:25 he's, like, major quoted in the New Testament.
01:29 It's worth having a look at the book and learning about Isaiah.
01:32 Kirsten: Good, we'll do that today.
01:33 David: Right now, let's go to our dramatic reenactment and
01:35 hear more about Isaiah's fantastic story.
01:40 male: He is despised and rejected of men, wounded for our
01:46 transgressions and bruised for our iniquities.
01:52 He is brought as a lamb to the slaughter.
01:57 Written 700 years before Christ, Isaiah knew
02:01 that this prophetic Scripture would one day be fulfilled
02:04 in the Lamb of God, Jesus.
02:11 Jeffrey: New Testament authors got a lot of utility
02:14 out of the prophet Isaiah.
02:17 He is the most quoted of all the Older Testament prophets
02:21 in the Newer Testament.
02:23 Speaking of Isaiah and utility, more Jewish people have come to
02:27 believe in Jesus through a reading of Isaiah 53 than any
02:31 other passage because it's so explicit in connecting the dots
02:36 between salvation as it's depicted in the Older Testament
02:41 and fulfilled in the Newer.
02:44 Isaiah's very popular among some but not all.
02:49 In fact, in his own day and time,
02:52 Isaiah was killed by Manasseh, an Israelite king.
02:56 He didn't like him. He cut him in two.
02:59 The author of Hebrews says in his Hall of Fame chapter,
03:04 you know, the greats in the 11th chapter of Hebrews,
03:07 he speaks of some who were, quote, "sawn in two."
03:11 That's a reference to Isaiah.
03:13 They didn't saw him in two this way; they started down here
03:16 and sawed him in two that way.
03:18 And they've been sawing Isaiah in two ever since.
03:21 You know, some people think there wasn't an Isaiah,
03:23 there's two or three Isaiahs; that the book that we look at
03:26 and call Isaiah is a composite of a few writers.
03:30 Well, my purpose here isn't to get into that as much as it is
03:35 to look to the particulars of the writing itself.
03:39 I want you to fasten your seatbelt because when we take a
03:42 look at this book, we're going into the very guts
03:45 of deliverance as it is told and foretold in the Hebrew Bible
03:51 and fulfilled in the New.
03:53 I want you to take a look with me with an open heart,
03:56 with an open mind, and see what you find.
03:59 You might find a gateway to heaven,
04:02 a passageway to a brand new life.
04:08 male: "He is despised and rejected of men; a man of
04:11 sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our
04:15 faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
04:19 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we
04:23 did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
04:27 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised
04:30 for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace
04:33 was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
04:39 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one
04:43 to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him
04:46 the iniquity of us all.
04:48 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his
04:53 mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep
04:57 before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
05:02 He was numbered with the transgressors;
05:04 and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession
05:07 for the transgressors."
05:14 Jeffrey: This is an English Bible.
05:17 It was written first in Hebrew and when Isaiah wrote this,
05:23 that is the Hebrew text, that's just a facsimile of it, he said,
05:26 [speaking foreign language]
05:30 translated in 53:6: "We all like sheep have gone astray."
05:38 And to my way of thinking, in those words,
05:42 just three in the Hebrew, in those words,
05:45 it kinda says it all.
05:49 People see that waywardness in dealing with others
05:52 in the webs of relationships.
05:55 People see that wayward proclivity, that tendency, just
06:00 when they open up and read the Bible, the very first pages,
06:03 for the very first time.
06:06 There's a verse in Job, it says that "man tends toward evil
06:11 like the sparks fly upward."
06:13 There's just this proclivity, this inclination.
06:17 Not that I should joke about it, but I think of the Lord's Prayer
06:20 saying--when they said, "How should we pray?"
06:23 He said, "Pray like this," you know, "Our Father," et cetera,
06:26 "lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil,"
06:30 or from the evil one.
06:31 Relative to the phrase, "Lead us not into temptation,"
06:34 I've often said, "Yeah, for that we don't need leadership;
06:38 we can find it all by ourselves."
06:42 The question is can we find some help for the inner world
06:47 that tends to go bad?
06:49 This author says so and his name says it all.
06:54 In fact, Isaiah, as we know him as, wasn't even employed until
06:59 the protestant reformation and that began--the historic date
07:03 is October 31, 1517.
07:06 His name, Yasha, in Hebrew means to save.
07:11 And Yasha Yahuah or Isaiah really means,
07:16 in effect, God saves.
07:19 The question isn't whether he does it;
07:22 the question is how does he do it?
07:25 Now, in this series and we've just kind of passed midway,
07:29 we've looked at deliverance in the literature.
07:34 Here, right around the middle of it, there's a wonderful
07:38 unpacking of the particulars of it, that is, the ultimate
07:42 deliverance in the person of the ultimate Deliverer.
07:48 What does he do with the problem of "All we like sheep
07:52 have gone astray"?
07:53 Listen, I can unpack human waywardness.
07:56 I don't think it needs a lot of telling.
07:59 I can do that just 'cause I've lived for 63 years, I can do it
08:02 because I have 20 years in a police uniform with all that.
08:05 Believe me, I've seen it.
08:07 But I don't need to tell you about it
08:08 because you've seen it too.
08:10 The question is, is there a way to turn the ship around?
08:16 Is there deliverance?
08:17 And the answer is yes.
08:21 It says in Isaiah chapter 52, verse 13
08:26 speaks about this servant who's coming.
08:29 In chapter 53, verse 1, he says,
08:31 "And ain't no one gonna believe this."
08:34 In fact, we're told--there's a question that's asked
08:37 rhetorically, "Who's gonna believe this report?
08:39 And to whom will the arm of the Lord, the strength of the Lord,
08:43 be revealed?"
08:45 Goes on to talk in a very singular form,
08:50 "For he," third person masculine singular, he.
08:55 "He grew up.
08:58 He had no form of comeliness, no majesty that we should
09:01 look at him, no beauty that we should desire him."
09:06 There's the depiction here of God's servant,
09:08 the ultimate deliverer.
09:10 We're told as well, and the author gets very explicit,
09:14 that "he was despised and rejected by men.
09:19 That he was a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief."
09:23 Now, I'll tell you, at 63 years of living I have been acquainted
09:26 with more than one sorrow and some grief.
09:29 If you spend any time on this planet, you know,
09:31 if you lift your shirt up
09:33 there's lots of wound marks there.
09:35 And that's for men and women alike.
09:37 You just don't go through living experience unscathed.
09:40 Now, we have sorrows, but it's not quite like this.
09:44 This person that's described particularly is a man that's
09:48 characterized by sorrows and grief and rejection, he goes on
09:52 to note, "one from whom people hide their faces."
09:58 There's a kind of disengagement from him,
10:02 folk wanting to know nothing about him.
10:05 And even church folk, you know, there's 168 hours in a week, it
10:08 seems at best we can handle 2 hours of being engaged by Jesus
10:12 and then we're kind of going down the road of life.
10:14 Well, I think it's best to open up the Bible, not just on--when
10:17 we go to a worship service but to make it a habit.
10:21 We're told this deliverer, the servant of the Lord,
10:24 is eschewed, he's pushed to the margins.
10:28 We're told that "he was despised," again,
10:31 "and we didn't esteem him."
10:33 That is, he's lowly esteemed.
10:35 Certainly in his day and time, he wasn't particularly
10:39 respected, and that's particularly noteworthy in the
10:42 way he was graphically decimated before his death.
10:46 We're told in verse 4, however, that with all that,
10:49 that this person "has borne our griefs and that he has
10:54 carried our sorrows, our pains.
10:58 And that we esteemed him stricken by God, and afflicted."
11:03 Now, it's interesting, the notion that Jesus died
11:08 for our sins.
11:10 Sounds so very Christian. Jesus died for our sins.
11:14 Jews can say, "Hocus pocus, I don't buy that.
11:16 I'm Jewish."
11:17 The description of the ultimate deliverer here,
11:20 it says that he was "stricken for our transgressions.
11:24 He was pierced because of our transgressions," specifically,
11:28 "crushed for our iniquities."
11:31 Now, the Christian expression that he died for your sins
11:36 isn't really a Christian expression.
11:41 At the outset, I'd noted that this text gets a lot of utility
11:46 in modernity amongst Jewish women and men, folk like me
11:50 who initially were predisposed to look at the Jesus story
11:53 as a Gentile story, but this gives pause.
11:56 We go, "Wait a minute.
11:59 Who is this person that's being described?
12:03 Could it really be that Jesus is the Messiah?
12:09 Can it really be that he's the solution?"
12:13 Because the prophet goes on to say in verse 5:
12:17 "The chastisement for our shalom, for our peace,
12:20 was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed."
12:28 announcer: Our offer on this program,
12:30 our eight-part "Isaiah" series on two DVDs.
12:34 The prophetic words of Isaiah unfold in dramatic fashion
12:37 as we chronicle their ultimate fulfillment in Jesus,
12:40 the Messiah, his rejection, condemnation, death,
12:44 and resurrection, all foretold hundreds of years
12:47 before the Lord's ministry on earth.
12:49 A great witnessing tool.
12:51 This series is certain to enlighten those
12:54 who are searching for more about God's prophetic Word.
12:57 The gospel according to Isaiah with Dr. Jeffrey Seif.
13:02 announcer: Our Creator chose certain places on the planet
13:05 to reveal himself and his message of redemption to us.
13:10 Mount Sinai, Moriah, Olives, the Mount of Beatitudes, as well as
13:14 various seas, rivers, and deserts, these were the places.
13:19 Some are now only ruins yet they continue
13:22 to tell of the Lord's faithfulness and love.
13:26 These sacred backdrops have been beautifully captured
13:29 in our resource.
13:31 This week, the book, "Heaven and Earth:
13:34 Landmarks of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation."
13:39 Our producer and director, Ken Berg, has assembled some of his
13:42 favorite photographs taken during his four decades
13:47 of travel through the lands of the Bible.
13:51 Contact us and ask for the book, "Heaven and Earth."
13:57 Andrea Davis: Hello, my name is Andrea Davis and I've been
14:00 working with Zola Levitt Ministries for over 20 years.
14:04 For me, this is not just a career; it's a calling.
14:08 And I'm so grateful for those who feel called alongside us.
14:12 Your prayers and financial support help us produce
14:16 informative anointed television from Israel.
14:19 So please continue to give as you're able and let's continue
14:24 this journey together.
14:25 Thank you.
14:28 Kirsten: Your donations, especially your monthly
14:30 donations, keep this program on the air but also we have two
14:34 publications that we send to thousands every month,
14:37 a Levitt Letter, and the personal letter.
14:40 So when you donate to the ministry, the Word goes out
14:44 to thousands and thousands around the world.
14:46 So thank you to Dara Bar for everything that you do to keep
14:49 us alive and on the air.
14:52 Now, let's go back to the words of Isaiah and more teaching
14:56 from Dr. Jeffrey Seif.
14:59 male: "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me; because the Lord
15:03 hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath
15:07 sent me to bind up the broken one, to proclaim liberty to the
15:11 captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
15:16 to give unto them beauty for ashes, the garment of praise
15:20 for the spirit of heaviness."
15:25 Jeffrey: "All we like sheep have gone astray."
15:29 So I'd said previously, I don't need to talk
15:31 about that in great measure.
15:32 We know what that is.
15:37 What we don't know is how to get out of it.
15:41 People know how to get bound up and jammed up and they find
15:45 themselves pinned by sin and circumstance and the
15:50 million-dollar question is, "Is there a way to fix this?"
15:55 Well, Isaiah spoke about a deliverer who came.
16:00 He was despised and rejected and he facilitates a great healing.
16:05 He goes on to say, then, that "we like sheep have gone astray;
16:08 and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all."
16:11 In Isaiah 61, there's another story,
16:14 one that's worth having a look at.
16:17 What a great story it is.
16:20 Isaiah chapter 61, verse 1: "The Ruach of Adonai Elohim
16:25 is upon me, the Spirit of the Lord God is on me."
16:28 And even there, when Jews hear about the Spirit,
16:30 "Well, that's just Trinitarian Catholic stuff, you know,
16:33 the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.
16:35 Well, that's just Pentecostal talk."
16:38 The Spirit is in the Hebrew Bible.
16:41 It starts off, the first breath in Genesis, "The Ruach Elohim
16:47 the Spirit of God was moving over the face of the waters
16:51 to deliver from chaos and darkness."
16:54 Well, here, the Spirit is employed on me a personality
17:01 because, according to the text, "Adonai has anointed me,"
17:07 to do what?
17:09 "To proclaim the good news."
17:14 "Oh, those Christians talk about good news.
17:15 That's Christian talk."
17:17 The word "gospel," by the way, comes from good news.
17:19 "Oh, that's just Christian talk,
17:21 that's Jesus talk, we're Jewish."
17:23 The anointed one proclaims.
17:25 The word in Hebrew is basea here.
17:29 In fact, Jews in Hebrew refer to the New Testament
17:31 as the besorah, that is to say, it's the good news.
17:36 It comes from--there's the word "bashar" in Hebrew for flesh.
17:40 It's the substance of it, it's the essence of it.
17:44 And there's an understanding that the words in the Hebrew
17:48 Bible become flesh and take on form.
17:52 It's incarnated.
17:54 The word "incarnation," Latin, "carne," flesh, meat, the beef,
18:01 the essence, the substance, that this servant of the Lord
18:05 who's anointed by the Spirit of the Lord proclaims good news.
18:11 To who? To the poor.
18:16 We open up the New Testament and Jesus said,
18:18 "Blessed are the poor for theirs is the kingdom," et cetera.
18:21 That just sounds like, you know, the Beatitudes so I guess--no,
18:24 it comes from the Hebrew Bible.
18:27 "To proclaim liberty to the captives."
18:32 Now, not to mix vocations but when I think of prisoners
18:36 and captives, I got 20 years in a police uniform.
18:40 I've taken more than one person to jail.
18:43 People do--they commit the crime, they do time,
18:46 and they're jammed up.
18:47 There's a lot of people that aren't in jail who are in jail.
18:51 "What do you mean by that?"
18:53 Captive to sin and circumstance.
18:56 Sins bested by the darker side of your own nature.
19:00 A life that's out of control, drugs, alcohol,
19:03 various addictions and fixations
19:06 that you can't get the better of.
19:07 It's gotten the better of you and diminished you,
19:10 your life, your circumstance.
19:12 It's depleting your money, it's depleting your relationship with
19:15 others, it's depleting your self-confidence,
19:18 it's rendering you in a hole somewhere.
19:19 The question is, is there a way to fix that?
19:24 That's what this series is all about.
19:27 It's all about deliverance.
19:31 Here, this author speaks of the Spirit of the Lord is upon me to
19:34 bring good news and, by the way, what I'm reading you in the
19:39 Hebrew Bible is noted specifically in the Gospel of
19:43 Luke, chapter 6, verses--excuse me, chapter 4, verses 18 and 19.
19:48 Therein, Yeshua goes in the synagogue and tells the very
19:53 same story and he says, "Guess what,
19:56 ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls?
19:58 This is talking about me."
20:03 I don't wanna just talk about him.
20:04 I do. I wanna talk about you.
20:06 It says here, this person "comes to proclaim liberty to the
20:10 captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound."
20:19 You know, I've heard it said and you've heard it and believe it,
20:21 I'd imagine, to a certain degree as people say,
20:24 "Well, you know, preachers make people feel guilty.
20:27 I go to that church or that congregation.
20:30 Guy always makes me feel guilty."
20:31 Listen, I don't think preachers should be all about helping to
20:37 make people feel guilty, and the reason why is people don't need
20:41 a whole lot of help with that.
20:44 When it comes to guilt, I think people can find it
20:48 all by themselves.
20:50 What people can't find by themselves is good news.
20:54 That's why "Zola Levitt Presents" exists, to bring good
20:58 news through the eyes of the Jews and those that support us
21:01 sacrificially do so because they find value in it.
21:07 They find value in the one
21:09 who gave himself sacrificially for us.
21:12 It's the mystery of the ages, it's salvation in the ages--from
21:16 the ages, that's buried in biblical pages.
21:20 And we bring it to light.
21:22 I hope the light has shined on you and that you're minded to
21:28 take some steps and do something with it.
21:34 David: This series is all about heroes and we've already
21:37 shared with you many heroes but today I think Isaiah, as we
21:41 learn more about Isaiah, really has meaning, powerful meaning,
21:45 in your life.
21:47 Jeffrey: Yes, he's definitely in the Hall of Fame of Bible
21:49 noteworthies.
21:51 In my own life, as a young guy walking down the street,
21:54 a guy comes up and he wants to talk to me about Jesus.
21:56 And I told him I was Jewish and, you know, we just conversated a
22:00 little bit and he opens up the Older Testament to the prophet
22:04 Isaiah and starts directing me to text, and I was amazed.
22:08 The 53rd chapter was the chapter and it reads so much like a
22:12 New Testament story I couldn't believe it belonged to the Old
22:15 Testament body of literature, the Old Testament corpus.
22:18 And the Lord used that to really get a hold of my heart and draw
22:23 me in and in no time I'm praying with this guy who's persistent,
22:28 asking the Lord into my heart and just a whole new world
22:33 opened up for me.
22:34 I never thought it would evolve all this way, with me being in
22:36 ministry, but I really was transformed through the process.
22:39 And Isaiah was the gateway, the portal, into that new world,
22:44 reading that prophet.
22:45 Kristen: Because--so you're reading Old Testament
22:48 which you knew so what was the trigger
22:52 in your Jewish heart that changed--?
22:54 Jeffrey: I wasn't as Old Testament literate--I wasn't
22:57 as literate as someone might think.
22:59 What I knew about Isaiah wasn't the content.
23:01 I knew that he belonged in the Old Testament world and what was
23:04 fascinating to me was to read him for the first time,
23:08 actually, or to have him read to me.
23:10 Someone had to show me.
23:13 And in the 53rd chapter, it gives voice to this personality
23:16 who springs up out of nowhere, who's despised and rejected,
23:20 who winds up being an offering for humankind's sins.
23:24 It is so explicit, it's not tacit, it's not just inferred,
23:29 it is so explicit it had this wow moment.
23:32 And for me, it was powerful.
23:34 I never thought there was anything in the Jewish Bible
23:37 that echoed the Christian story.
23:39 I didn't know that Jesus was--that the Jesus story
23:42 was a Jewish story.
23:43 I didn't know it back then.
23:45 Kristen: So we in the church that want to reach Jewish
23:48 people, first of all, you know, his name wasn't Jesus.
23:51 It's always, "You need to believe in Jesus."
23:53 I think we, as a church, kind of feel like that you should
23:56 believe in him but is Isaiah something that believers can
24:02 read to help open up Jewish eyes to Messiah?
24:06 Jeffrey: Well, I think that we'd do well to read the Bible
24:08 to open our own inner eyes up and then share
24:11 what we see with others.
24:13 People wonder is there a certain trick, you know,
24:15 this Old Testament text, read this and say that and,
24:17 presto, you'll hit pay dirt with Jews.
24:19 I think if we just care to share, we're gonna hit pay dirt
24:23 whether we know the right words or not.
24:25 But I do know that Isaiah 53 is a home run hitting text
24:31 at the end of the day.
24:32 Kristen: Well, we're--I'm personally thankful
24:34 for Isaiah's word, that word got into your life.
24:38 David: Right, for that guy that shared with you that day.
24:40 Kristen: Right, and you're where you are today.
24:42 David: That's amazing. We'll be right back.
25:18 David: I love singing the song, "Holy Ground" in church,
25:21 and there's nothing like singing that song in Israel.
25:26 You can join us and we will sing that song
25:28 on holy ground in Israel.

26:32 Jeffrey: Years ago, someone opened up the prophet Isaiah
26:37 and it made all the difference for me.
26:41 I, we, really hope that our telling of Isaiah made
26:45 all the difference for you.
26:49 Kristen: We are thrilled that you found Yeshua through someone
26:52 on the street telling you to read this book and he opened up
26:56 the Scriptures and you saw the connection to Messiah.
27:00 David: There's hope for all of us, right?
27:02 Jeffrey: There is, and today the world
27:04 is so much more digital.
27:06 People watch stuff on TV.
27:08 That's why we love bringing it to you.

Uttar Pradesh is an important state and sets the pace for any political party future. Keeping this simple fact that all are aware we took pro active approach on writing about UP, SP, Congress and Modiji. Unlike others we as a practice highlight the issue and also give solutions where ever possible.
Over the months a pattern has emerged within the supporters of Modiji. Some just can't stand any form of criticism. This I see on the lines of supporters of AAP and Congress. Well FOE is for all and with that I shall continue to respect them and will not forget to use my FOE as well to highlight that the news for UP for BJP is not good.
For heaven sake stop balancing act and talk for HINDUS. Yes there are Election Commission guidelines. Within the ambit of those guidelines BJP will have to plan their Communication Strategy.

July / August 2016 Issue
"Exposed"
Dr. Howard Moseley Answers Your Questions
by Jacquelyn Gleisner | Aug 4, 2016
Paul Gagner. Enough Is Enough, 2015. Oil on canvas, 10 x 14 inches. © Paul Gagner.
For the "New Kids on the Block" column in the "Exposed" issue, acclaimed art-world self-help author Howard Moseley, PhD, answers readers' questions about gallery representation, the nature of creativity, and commissioned works.
Q: I am very upset by the haughty, superior attitudes of gallery owners in my area. I want to get my art into a gallery, but do I need to crawl on my knees to get someone to show my work?
They are a shrewd and wily bunch and should not be underestimated, nor should you stare them directly in the eyes.
A: Galleries are often difficult to approach, and their owners can be cold and even hostile to the public. This is because gallery owners are, in fact, a super-high-functioning alien race with highly evolved powers of observation. Did you know that they see three million more colors than we can? Who better to set the standards of taste than an alien that also has the power to persuade collectors with a hypnotic gaze?
So, the best approach is, as you suggested, crawling on your hands and knees. However, be careful to not be excessively ingratiating since gallery owners can also smell insincerity. They are a shrewd and wily bunch and should not be underestimated, nor should you stare them directly in the eyes. Once you're in, it's all about the art, am I right?!

Q: Will studying art stifle my creativity? Artists have told me that you can become subconsciously influenced by bad art, and as a result, your inner visions may be harmed by too much exposure to it.
A: I like to think of creativity as a precious egg: it's hard on the outside and gooey on the inside. You see, our egos are the brittle shell holding our gooey creativity together. We need to be very careful how we handle our eggs. You wouldn't want a brute like Picasso handling your precious eggs, would you? He's liable to stomp on your eggs or, worse, soufflé them with a nice Gruyere, a pinch of nutmeg, and piment d'Espelette. This is why you need to build an enormous enclosure to keep out the would-be Picassos from stealing and breaking your precious eggs. This is why I always recommend to my followers—I mean, clients—to ignore all outside stimuli. This will prevent any and all influence, and only then can your gooey creative expression really flourish.
You see, our egos are the brittle shell holding our gooey creativity together.
Q: I am trying to find a gallery to represent my work. I follow the gallery's instructions for submitting links to my website, and I write polite notes, but I never get a response. What am I doing wrong?
A: The process for finding a gallery to represent one's work is really quite mysterious. To counter this dearth of knowledge, I recently wrote a book on this topic: How to Make Them Understand Your Genius-ishness. The trouble is that you probably don't stand out from all of the other artists who are vying for attention. This is why you need to do something outrageous. My suggestion is a performance tailored specifically to the gallery owner. Many of these gallery owners have a cat or dog. What you need to do is lure their beloved animal with some delicious treat. Then send them photos of their precious animal with a message telling them how much fun you're having with "Marcel" or "Frida," expressing just how sad the world would be without their beloved critter. Believe me, they will respond quickly! You will be surprised at how much attention you'll get with this harmless little stunt.

When he was a younger artist, Paul Gagner read self-help books and consulted a therapist. He created Dr. Howard Moseley, a fictional author of self-help texts, to probe his anxiety about being an artist. The contrived covers for Moseley's books are the subjects of a series of paintings by Gagner. Titles such as Fortify Your Delicate Ego and Enough is Enough are humorous, but Gagner explains, "I am sincere, and the humor is a means to cope with the darkness behind the paintings."1 Gagner views this body of work as a constructive and direct way to consider the existential questions that accompany the practice of making art.
Paul Gagner (born 1976, Wisconsin) holds a BFA from the School of Visual Arts, in New York, and an MFA from Brooklyn College. He has exhibited extensively in New York City and nationally.

This Korean fried chicken (or Jin Chick) is the signature dish at Jinjuu in soho. Served with a fiery gochujang red sauce or black soy sauce and a side of pickled white radish, they're irresistible. Buy gochujang from souschef.co.uk.
Whisk the cornflour, salt, baking powder and pepper. Add the chicken and toss well until evenly coated. Transfer the chicken to a rack, shaking it well to get rid of any excess coating. Let it rest uncovered for one hour.
Heat the oven to 160C/fan 140C/gas 3. Pour enough oil into a large heavy-based pan to reach a depth of 5cm.
Make the batter by whisking the dry ingredients together. In a smaller bowl, whisk the vodka and chilli paste with 250ml water. Just before frying, whisk the wet mixture into the dry mixture – the consistency should be quite thin and runny.
Heat the oil over a medium-high heat until a deep-frying thermometer reads 175C or a cube of bread browns in 4 seconds.
Working in batches, and starting with the thighs and drumsticks, dip each piece of chicken into the batter, letting any excess batter drip off. Then, using kitchen tongs, suspend the chicken in the oil for a couple of seconds for it to set before letting it submerge completely into the oil (otherwise the chicken will fall and stick to the bottom of the pot). Fry the chicken until golden brown and cooked through – 20 minutes for the larger pieces and 10 minutes for the smaller wings. Transfer to a wire rack to drain when done, then to the oven to keep warm while you repeat the frying process.
To make the BBQ sauce, combine all of the ingredients in a small saucepan and simmer over a medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes, until slightly thickened. Loosen the BBQ sauce with a little water if you want to drizzle the sauce or glaze the chicken. Serve the chicken with the BBQ sauce, pickled radish and beer.
