"Allergy elimination?!? Is it possible?" I Asked when I first heard about NAET. "Absolutely!" is the answer to that question, I later discovered, after meeting Dr. Devi and learning her amazingly simple, most effective technique. Bar none, no other allergy treatment in my practice has been as effective as NAET. Tell everyone you know about the best-kept secret in the world of allergy diagnosis and therapy: NAET.
A condition of unusual sensitivity of one individual towards one or more substance from one's living environment which may be harmless or even beneficial to a majority of other individual.
In other words, Allergy is an overreaction to the immune system to substances that are otherwise harmless, causing respiratory, skin and systemic diseases. Most common are respiratory diseases, caused by airborne particles such as grass or tree pollens. For most people these tiny particles are insignificant, but for people with allergy, they can trigger seasonal or chronic respiratory conditions, such as hay fever or allergic asthma.
Allergic diseases are linked through common immunological mechanisms, and co-morbidities are common. The risk of getting a new allergy increases with the number of allergies already present. Disease severity may also increase. For example, rhinitis is a risk factor for asthma, and at least 60% of asthma patients also suffer from allergic rhinitis.
Insect Sting typically results in pain, swelling, and redness confined to the sting site. More severe reactions include symptoms appearing over a wider area (for example, swelling of your whole arm if you were stung on your wrist) or affecting other parts of the body from where the sting occurred. Common insects involved include ants, bee, wasp, beetle, and mosquito.
Chemical Allergy, Common chemicals involved include cleaners, perfumes, air freshener, colognes, shampoo, soap, hair dyes, and personal care items.
Medicines, Antibiotics are the most common type of medicines that cause allergic reactions. Many other medicines, including over-the-counter medications (those you can buy without a prescription), also can cause allergic reactions.
Anaphylaxis – a very severe, often life-threatening allergic reaction.
Anaphylaxis is a very serious and potentially fatal allergic reaction that involves a sudden drop in blood pressure, loss of consciousness and body system failure which even leads to Death.
The word rhinitis means "inflammation of the nose." The nose produces a fluid called mucus. This fluid is normally thin and clear. It helps to keep dust, debris, and allergens out of the lungs. Mucus traps particles like dust and pollen, as well as bacteria and viruses.
Asthma is a chronic disease that affects your airways. Your airways are tubes that carry air in and out of your l ungs. If you have asthma, the inside walls of your airways become sore and swollen. That makes them very sensitive, and they may react strongly to things that you are allergic to or find irritating. When your airways react, they get narrower and your lungs get less air.
The medical name for hives is urticaria. It's a common condition that causes raised red bumps or welts to appear on the skin (some hives have a pale center as well).
Hives can be itchy; sometimes they also burn or sting. Usually, they're harmless and last anywhere from half an hour to a couple of days. New hives can show up to replace the old ones as they fade, though. So the condition can go on for a while.
Acne involves a disorder with glands in the skin that are located next to hair follicles. These glands, called sebaceous glands, secrete an oily substance called sebum. Everyone has these glands, and the secretion of sebum is normal, but people with acne have larger glands that release more sebum into the skin. The excess sebum can trap oil, bacteria, and skin cells.
Eczema refers to a chronic inflammatory skin condition, characterized by dry skin, with patches that are red and intensely itchy. These patches of eczema may ooze, become scaly, crusted, or hardened. Symptoms can range from mild to severe, and the condition can negatively impact the quality of life. Eczema can occur anywhere on the skin and is commonly found on the flexors (bends of the arms, backs of the knees).
Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Techniques, also known as NAET, are a non-invasive, drug-free, natural solution to alleviate allergies of all types and intensities using a blend of selective energy balancing, testing and treatment procedures from acupuncture/acupressure, allopathy, chiropractic, nutritional, and kinesiological disciplines of medicine.
Yin-Yang theory from Oriental medical principles teaches the importance of maintaining homeostasis in the body. According to Oriental medical principles, "when the body is in perfect balance, no disease is possible." Any disturbance in the homeostasis can cause disease. Any allergen capable of producing a weakening muscular effect in the body can cause the disturbance in homeostasis. Hence, diseases can be prevented and cured by maintaining homeostasis. According to acupuncture theory, acupuncture and/or Acupressure at certain acupuncture points is capable of bringing the body to a state of homeostasis by removing the energy blockages from the energy pathways known as meridians. When the blockages are removed, energy can flow freely through the energy meridians, thus bringing the body in perfect balance.
Knowledge of the brain, cranial nerves, spinal nerves and autonomic nervous system from Western medicine enlightens us about the body's efficient multilevel communication network. Through this network of nerves, vital energy circulates through the body carrying negative and positive messages from the brain to each and every cell in the body and back to the brain. Knowledge of the nervous system, its origin, gravel pathway, the organs and tissues that will benefit from its nerve energy supplies (target organs and tissues) and its destination, helps us to understand the energy distribution of particular spinal nerves that emerge from the 31 pairs of spinal nerve roots.
Chiropractic principles help us to detect the nerve energy blockage in a specific nerve energy pathway by detecting and isolating the exact nerve root being pinched. The exact vertebral level in relation to the pinched spinal nerve root helps us to trace the travel route, the destination and the target organs of that particular energy pathway. D. D. Palmer considered the "Father of Chiropractic," said, "too much or too little energy is a disease." A pinched nerve can cause a disturbance in the energy flow. Chiropractic medicine postulates that a pinched nerve or any such disturbance in the energy flow can cause disease, revealing the importance of maintaining an uninterrupted flow of nerve energy. A pinched nerve or an obstruction in the energy flow is often the result of an allergy. Spinal manipulation at the specific vertebral level of the pinched nerve, can relieve the obstruction of the energy flow and help the body to arrive at a state of homeostasis.
You are what you eat! The secret to good health is achieved through the right nutrition. What is the right nutrition? And how do you get it? When you can eat nutritious foods without discomfort and assimilate their nutrients, that food is said to be the right food. When you get indigestion, bloating, or other digestive troubles upon eating the food, that food is not helping you function normally. This is due to an allergy to the food. Different foods react differently in different people. What is food for some may be poison for others? You've probably heard the expression, "one man's meat is another man's poison." So it is very important to clear the allergy to the nutrients. Allergic people can tolerate food that is low in nutrition better than nutritious food. But upon clearing the allergy, you should try to eat more wholesome, nutritious foods. You should avoid refined, bleached food that is devoid of nutrients. Many people who are feeling poorly due to undiagnosed food allergies, may take vitamins or other supplements to increase their vitality after they get treated for the specific allergy. If they happen to be allergic to the nutritional supplements they are taking, this can actually make them feel worse. Only after clearing those allergies, can their bodies properly assimilate them. So nutritional assessment should be done periodically and if needed, appropriate supplements should be taken to receive faster results.
Some NAET practitioners will immediately treat the patient's worse allergens, whether they are foods or environmental allergens. And many people do have success being treated in the below fashion. However, the protocol that the doctor follows is the prescribed NAET protocol of treating the "15 basics" first and then treating other allergies. The basics consist of some of the most commonly eaten foods and the most important nutrients.
The reason these are treated first is that all of these nutrients are important to a properly functioning immune system. In NAET theory, if one is allergic to a nutrient or a food that contains it, then one's body is not able to properly absorb and utilize that nutrient. As a result, even with adequate intake, one could end up deficient in that nutrient. And a deficiency in any necessary nutrient can have serious health consequences, including a malfunctioning immune system. So it is important to treat the basics first so the immune system will be strong enough to fully clear other allergens.

Commonly Causes: Abdominal bloating, asthma, hives, weight gain, gastritis, poor concentration, eczema, bronchitis, etc.
Commonly Causes: Abdominal pain, bloating, asthma, choking sensation, shortness of breath, etc.
After 25 hours practitioner needs to retest the treated allergen for the completeness of the treatment. In most cases, it takes only one treatment (one office visit) to eliminate the allergy, and 25 hour – avoidance is followed. In some extreme cases, it may take more than one office visit per allergen.
Why 25 hours of avoidance period?
We have 12 major meridians (energy pathways) in our body. It takes up to 2 hours for the energy of the treated allergen to pass through each meridian and return to the starting point. It is only after this period does the brain perceive the allergen "friendly/harmless" upon any future contact with it. Hence it is very important to strictly follow the avoidance time/period.
Addictions can definitely cause illness. Continuous contact with an allergen produces toxins in the body, and causes blockages in the meridians. If these blockages are not cleared, reactions to the allergens often produce symptoms that mimic other diseases.
By clearing all your Food, Environment, Chemical allergy from the NAET protocol, we strengthen the immune system, improve digestion and absorption. This allows the body to get the necessary nutrients, which are essential for life. without causing any reactions and say goodbye to your symptoms.
I had severe migraines all my life. Whenever I got them I had to go to emergency rooms to get a shot, then I had to sleep for three to four days. Finally, my migraines would go away. After Dr.Devi's treatments for food allergies, I do not get migraines anymore. I am one of her guinea pigs from her early days of practice. NAET works! I haven't had migraines in 14 years.
I had always been super sensitive to any cream, makeups, lotions, shampoo, conditioner, etc. My skin burned and turned blotchy red whenever I used even hypoallergenic products. The skin around my eyes became swollen and puffy and I experienced unbearable itching, especially around the sides of my nose. Sometimes I used to go around in a sneezing fit which left me all red and stuffy with frequent sore throats. I saw three different physicians and dermatologists regarding the severe itching and for these problems. All their comments were about the same, "If that is only health problems you have, don't worry about it." A year and a half ago, Dr. Devi treated me for all the basic allergies and for lanolin and sheep wool. Lanolin, a derivative of sheep wool, is used in many cosmetics. She also had to treat me for some specific makeups. One by one, I was able to use them with no reactions whatsoever.

Why does ice float in water?
by Lucas Beaumont June 1, 2021, 6:29 pm 1.6k Views
It appears amazing when we think of ice floating on water. Isn't ice made of water itself? If yes, then how does it manage to be on the surface of the water? Let's break up the question into parts:
Why do things float?
Things float thanks to Archimedes. It's not that he causes things to float, but he was the first to give us a rational reason for this; he said, "An object, wholly or partially immersed in a fluid, is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object."
Its English translation is: if an object is immersed in water (or any other fluid), it displaces some water. The displaced water has some weight. And it literally uses all that weight to push the foreign object out of itself. If the force that the water is applying on the foreign object is more than the weight of the object, the object floats.
So, an object will float if its weight is less then the weight of the water it displaces.
How does ice fit into it?
When water is cooled it condenses and the scientific experiments have proved that water attains maximum density, weight per unit volume, at 4 °C. When the temperature is lowered further, new kinds of forces take hold (hydrogen bonding) which prevents further compacting of the structure. As a result, when water turns into solid ice, it is less dense than water. In other words, ice is lighter than the water!
Now, when we put some ice in water, the ice displaces some water. The water tries to get rid of the ice and pushes it upward. And, because the ice is less dense as compared to water, it floats on the water.

I enjoy how watercolor paints move on paper. The liquidity, the organic nature of the outcome, the variety of available color combinations all merge to form a beautiful and relaxing way to create a lovely background for a simple card. No two cards ever come out the same so you can honestly know that the recipient of the card is truly receiving a "one of a kind" piece of art.
Base cards: A sheet of White Daisy Cardstock cut into two 5" x 10" each pieces.
Card layers: Watercolor Paper and White Daisy Cardstock scraps leftover from cutting down the base cards.
Watercolor Paints: You can use these watercolor paints or any you already have on hand.
Tools: Brushes, a cup of clean water, and some sort of adhesive (such as Bonding Memories Broad Tip Glue Pen).
Start with cutting your 12" x 12" watercolor paper in half, then cut one of the halves in half so you end up with two 6" x 6" squares (save your other 6" x 12" piece for a future project). Tape your two squares down to a cutting board so that you will be able to move them out of the way to dry and so they will dry flat. I use blue painter's tape because it is easy to remove once the painting is dry.
Now, have fun! For the technique I used, I first wet the paper using a flat brush and clean water. I then simply started dropping in the watercolor with a round #8 brush, keeping the paper fairly "juicy" so the colors would flow. There is no right or wrong way to color you paper... that is the beauty of this technique, you simply play with the water and colors until you come up with a combination you think is beautiful.
The hardest part is setting them aside to dry. You can't rush this part. Yes, you could take a blow dryer to them, but then the blowing air tends to move the paints a bit more than I prefer, so I use this as an exercise in patience and let mine air dry.
Next, remove the tape and trim them to 5" x 5". They are now ready to become card backgrounds.
For the pink card I used my versatile Thin Cuts - Block Alphabet to cut out the word "HUGS" using my Cricut Cuttlebug. I like to think that even if I can't be there in person to "hug" my friends I can send them a "hug" in the mail! (After all, isn't that what a handmade card is... a hug made out of paper?) I also used a die to cut a square out of my base card for the watercolor to show through. You can use any die (or hand cut) opening you want to... such as a heart on Valentine's Day, or a pumpkin or a Christmas tree... etc.
Next came the easy assembly process. I used my Bonding Memories Broad Tip Glue Pen to build my card with because of it's ease to work with and the ability to move my letters around to get them perfectly straight before it bonds permanently. Then I made an envelope using my punch board to match one of the colors in my watercolor painting.
For the blue card, I used a lot of the same techniques... I simply used a different die. I wanted to make sure the "Happy Birthday" stood up for some added dimension, so I cut three of them and glue/stacked them together.
Again, once the card was all glued together I made an envelope to match. I did not add a lot of embellishments to distract from the watercolor of these cards. I like the simple beauty of the watercolored background against the pure white of the White Daisy Cardstock. What do you think?
Thank you for reading my blog and please feel free to leave me comments and/or questions below.
Beautiful colors! I agree, the simple construction really highlights the watercolors.


Cavitation in soft materials have been intensively studied both theoretically and experimentally in the past. In the presentation, we would like to discuss some of our recent progresses on cavitation in soft materials. By introducing a small ring-crack on the wall of a cavity in a soft material, we investigated the cavitation-induced fracture in soft materials. We found that depending on the loading conditions and material properties, cavitation in soft material may lead to steady or unsteady growth of a crack. Our results will be very useful for understanding the entire cavitating process in soft materials. Considering most soft biological tissues and some engineering soft materials are not homogenous, we also studied cavitation in inhomogeneous soft materials. It is found that dramatically different from cavitation in homogenous material, the pressure vs. cavity volume curve can become nonmonotonic for inhomogeneous materials, which may result in snap-through instabilities.

Old ladies at war
An ode of thanks to the now old lady warriors of WW II.
A ramble on the occasion of International Women's Day, March 8
Last November my aunt Diana died of a heart attack: still in her crumbling home in London Metroland, by her well-maintained garden, in full possession of her faculties, at the age of 92 91. Pat and I went to the funeral, and stayed with Diana's friend and neighbour Hilary, a contemporary who complains she can only face two hours London driving at a time; and we learnt of Hilary's war.
This post is about the stories of five old ladies in WWII: or rather of the young women they were. I will use only their first names to protect their privacy.
Diana's war:
Straight out of Oxford, Diana volunteered for the Port of London fire emergency evacuation service, but even during the Blitz it turned out rather dull. So she joined the Civil Service and dealt managed a unit dealing with applications for exemption from food rationing. She met her future husband and left war work on marrying in 1943.
Joy's war:
Joy quit postgraduate work at Oxford to join the WAAF and became a radar operator in Fighter Command. This was not quite as glamorous as it sounds, since she was stationed in the North of England where there was only one daytime Luftwaffe raid during the Battle of Britain; flying from Norway beyond fighter cover, the German bombers fell into a turkey shoot. Then she was promoted and sent to RAF Coastal Command HQ, a bunker where she met a young naval reserve lieutenant who was part of the Royal Navy liaison. As a cipher officer her job must essentially have been supervising the pool of cipher clerks. She also left war work on marrying in 1943. I am their second child.
Enid's war:
their college classmate Enid, whom I met at the funeral, married a clergyman in 1938 and was not called up.
Betty's war:
ten years younger than the others, Betty reached 18 around D-Day. Under parental pressure she chose the Women's Land Army , and went to work on farms in Essex until the end of the war. Then she went back to work as a dressmaker.
Hilary's war:
Hilary had studied German at school and then trained as an architect. When the naval reserve officer in charge of SIGINT analysis on U-Boats at Bletchley Park, a heterosexual peacetime architect, needed an assistant, he naturally indented for a German-speaking woman architect: and Hilary's name popped out of the card index. She spent the Battle of the Atlantic plotting the movements of Dönitz's submarine fleet. After the crisis was over, she also married another young officer in late 1943 and returned to civilian life.
The wartime mobilisation of women in Britain was large-scale but neither efficient nor egalitarian. Betty had no more chance of working at Bletchley Park than Hilary had of doing cryptanalysis there. Diana, Joy, Enid and Hilary, young women of similar intelligence and education, were given wildly different wartime responsibilities. Middle-class married women were exempted from mobilisation, but munitions factories relied on working-class women. And executive responsibility was denied them all. The only exceptions I can think of were spooks — outsiders by definition. Vera Atkins , the fanous head despatcher of SOE's French section, was a Romanian Jewish aristocrat. Her unbelievably brave women agents acted as radio operators and couriers, but one of them – Pearl Witherington – took over a Resistance network when its male leader was captured, and ran it successfully until the Liberation..
American women (including Barack's grandmother) flooded into munitions factories in the same war. Rosie the Riveter was the kind of myth that's basically true. WAACs were entirely volunteers: 150,000 of them.
Russian women were also the backbone of the great arms factories behind the Urals. In the Red Army they served as clerks and drivers in divisional headquarters, very close to and sometimes on the front line. According to Anthony Beevor, Stalin only countermanded the licence for the mass rape of German women when Red Army soldiers started targeting these Russian women too — by then it was too late.
In contrast the ideology of the Nazis stopped them from mobilising women. A surprising number of German factory workers were in fact women, no doubt as a legacy of the Jewish technocrat Walther Rathenau's rational war economic policy in 1914-1918. But this was a shameful secret rather than a source of pride, and could not be developed. The strongly Nazi U-boat crews knew that they faced implacable foes — and three-quarters died – but I doubt if they imagined that the faces compassing their deaths around plotting tables in England included flirtatious young women.
Total war is not a Good Thing and the advance of gender equality it produced is not a justification. If it also gave many people on the Allied side a sense of participation in a common national cause, that was a more innocent version of the central emotional appeal of Fascism. But so what? WW II on the Allied side was that very rare thing, a clear-cut just war. So we can celebrate its positive side-effects.
To the extent that it was a close-run thing (at least in the European theatre), it is reasonable to say that the different treatment of women by the two sides made the crucial difference. The same could also fairly be said of any number of other things, but that does not invalidate the proposition.
So here's to you old lady warriors, Land Girls and Rosies:
Thank you from all my heart.
Nazi antifeminism extended well beyond the sphere of Aryan eugenics where it made a weird sort of sense. The 650,000 French workers conscripted to work in Germany were SFIK all men, and the French were very much second-class Aryans: not conscripting Frenchwomen was sheer prejudice. Jewish women, of no value at all in Nazi eyes, were usually gassed on arrival at Auschwitz along with their children and old men, and only younger men kept alive for a while for slave labour. The whole pattern of Nazi exploitation was of course compulsively stupid, and bore little relation to the economically rational (though also evil) chattel slavery of the ancient world or the Old South.

Omar Al-Qattan started his professional life as a filmmaker and is now a businessman and philanthropist. Born in Beirut of Palestinian parents, he moved to the UK in 1975 and now chairs the A M Qattan Foundation, which was set up by his late parents, Abdel Mohsin and Leila Al Qattan.
The foundation works principally in Palestine in the areas of culture and education in pursuit of 'a just, free, enlightened, and tolerant society with an active global presence, one that embraces dialogue and produces knowledge, art and literature'.
Omar Al-Qattan chaired the task force responsible for setting up the Palestinian Museum in Birzeit. Though he is interested in promoting civil rights and cultural freedoms for all Palestinians, he is less interested in religious brands of nationalism or philanthropy. He tells Alliance editor, Charles Keidan, why and talks about what he believes diaspora philanthropy can and cannot do in Palestine.
What is your family background and how did you come to London?
My father was born in Jaffa and my mother in Iraq because her father had been exiled from Mandatory Palestine for refusing to salute the Union Jack.
Both their families fled Palestine in 1948 and they later met and married when they were both working in Kuwait as teachers.
My dad left teaching to work for the Ministry of Water and Electricity and, in 1963, started his own contracting business which is still going and which I oversee.
By that time my older siblings were past primary school and my parents wanted to get them the best possible education, which, at the time, was to be found in Lebanon.
So we moved to Beirut, where I was born, and lived there until the beginning of the civil war in 1975 at which time my parents moved back to Kuwait. My sisters were sent to school and university in Switzerland and the USA and my brother and I to boarding school in England, where I've been ever since.
Given your family's migrations, do you see yourself as British, Palestinian, Kuwaiti, Lebanese or something else?
I consider myself to be a mixture of all these, culturally. Identity issues don't really interest me because I find them very abstract and difficult to define. There are things that you carry with you because of your experience, your background – those form an array of identities.
If there had been no Palestinian tragedy, Palestine wouldn't be particularly interesting to me. It's really out of solidarity and political commitment, rather than ethnic identification, that I am engaged with Palestinian issues.
Palestinian diaspora philanthropy, though, is growing and you've obviously been an important part of that. What do you think has happened?
There is a lot of religious-type philanthropy which goes to different institutions and individuals in Palestine.
What we, among a number of institutions and families, offered was a secular basis for philanthropy to Palestine driven by the quality of a project and its long-term strategic effectiveness rather than by ideology. I think that is the real step-change.
Are other secular philanthropists emerging in the Palestinian diaspora?
The Palestinian diaspora is getting more active, particularly in the United States. But there's also a lot of fear, because of the associations with extremism and the restrictions on banking transfers that the US and the UK in particular have imposed since 9/11.
The Prevent Programme in the UK, for example, is frightening a lot of young people away from subjects like this – as if you can't be devout and political, which is ridiculous. Young people are being forced to compromise their thinking in order to stay out of trouble, which is very grave in a liberal democracy.
So, to answer your question, there's a long way to go. There's also anxiety about whether the money is being spent properly and a lot more convincing about the institutions on the ground is needed.
One of the things you've been involved in is helping to establish a landmark Palestinian Museum just outside of Ramallah.
It was a project of the Taawon Welfare Association, rather than the [Qattan] Foundation, but I chaired the project and my family was one of its major funders.
Exterior of the Palestinian Museum
which opened in May 2016 in Birzeit, north of Ramallah.
It's not a government or national museum, it's independent. I think it's very important that cultural institutions remain at a clear distance from government.
Does it put you in a position of contributing to state-building in Palestine?
The way we think about it is we can offer models to be studied and perhaps emulated, models of clear creative thinking, good networking, social engagement, transparency, and investment in vital areas, especially with young people.
If we can do that effectively then perhaps these institutions will form a reference point for whoever is going to build the state institutions.
It's much more important from my perspective, and certainly from my late father's perspective, that other families and other individuals should follow suit. And slowly they are beginning to.
We can offer models to be studied and perhaps emulated, models of clear creative thinking, good networking, social engagement, transparency, and investment in vital areas, especially with young people. If we can do that effectively then perhaps these institutions will form a reference point for whoever is going to build the state institutions.
What has the reaction been to the creation of the Palestinian Museum?
We had a lot of negative press, not just from Israelis or Zionists, but Palestinians also voiced concern about the timing and the cost. I think many have been persuaded by now, especially since we opened the first exhibition in August 2017, which was about Jerusalem.
And the people who really understand how the process works also realize that it takes many years to build a world-class institution, especially under occupation and with limited financial resources.
Diaspora Jewish philanthropy was part of the state-building process in Israel. The Rothschild family's Yad Hanadiv, for instance, helped build Israel's Parliament, its Supreme Court and now its national library. Are there things you could learn from that or do you see it as problematic?
I'm not nationalist in the way that many of these initiatives were. I don't believe that the end-goal of the Palestinian struggle is the creation of a Palestinian state. I think the end-goal of the Palestinian struggle is to create a just and equitable society for all citizens of the region.
My interest is to contribute to creating that society, especially the right opportunities for young people, a society that is capable of confidently thinking through and resolving its problems and is proud of itself.
Don't forget that a military occupation will crush a society's youth and children. I'm not going to build a Palestinian Knesset. I am going to be involved in building progressive institutions and helping progressive movements to think about a just and equitable future.
Our work is also about persuasion, so my interest is to find alliances with like-minded partners, including Jewish institutions and philanthropists, who can see common ground. That work is ongoing.
We have a long way to go before we have a base of influence, but there has been much sympathy and solidarity with the Palestinians, from many progressive institutions. At the Qattan Foundation, we've had an excellent long-term relationship with the Ford Foundation, for example, and with other institutions who have similar outlooks.
Another notable element of Jewish philanthropy is lobbying institutions outside Israel to maintain their support for Israel. Do you see a comparable role emerging for Palestinian diaspora philanthropy?
It's difficult. While grassroots solidarity has grown, political opinion among the establishment of the leading western countries remains overwhelmingly in favour of Israel.
Much of the pro-Palestinian lobby has been captivated by religious groups, and I think that's historically been a catastrophe because many of them have become associated with extremism, often (though not always) through no fault of their own.
So there is a lot of work still to be done, but I think it's changing, especially in the United States. The case for justice is so clear, that it's difficult for people not to see it.
It's not just the strength of the lobby in support of Israel that is the problem; it's the weakness of the Palestinian voice, and its frequent lack of coherence.
We must be clear about what we want. The wider, the more universal the appeal, the more powerful the case will be. Solidarity movements in the USA and elsewhere are grasping this very vividly.
Who are your philanthropic allies in this?
Probably the best known is the Taawon, formerly known as the Welfare Association. But you mustn't forget the economics. The wealth of the Jewish philanthropy community is so much bigger than anything among the Palestinians, so we can't follow the same tactics.
I believe we should play to our strengths, which are really more ethical and more political and we should defend that.
Omar Al-Qattan is seeking alliances with like-minded partners.
Unfortunately, we often allow ourselves to lose the ethical argument.
The injustice doesn't go away, but I don't think that we have been careful enough as a community in preserving the fantastic ethical capital that we had in the 1960s and 1970s.
The incapacity to stand firmly against violence, and that includes violence against ourselves, the strange separation between the internal struggles for social liberation and national liberation, have led to horrific compromises and a great regression.
We were very inclusive, very forward-looking. We've become very conservative and closed-minded.
Is that trend most marked in Gaza?
I honestly think it's everywhere, but yes it's sadly very present there.
What work are you doing in Gaza?
As we do everywhere else, we work with children and with teachers and young artists and writers. Gaza is extraordinary, dynamic, creative and steadfast, and a very strong society in many ways.
However, I don't believe that the Islamist experiment has much left in it, but it might be very destructive in its death throes and the damage might be generational. It's not only the fault of Hamas or Fatah.
We should blame Israel and the occupation, too, but we also need to go back to our moral failures. We have lost three generations. Our standards of education and our sense of social solidarity has collapsed. Instead, we have a hapless 'government' in the West Bank, with no strategy and no idea what it's doing and an equally hapless and repressive 'regime' in Gaza.
As a diaspora philanthropist, how do you seek to influence this for the better? Is it just through the work of your foundation and the example you try to set?
Yes, and also to speak truth to power. We have the privilege of being protected by our presence here in Europe, by our status and reputation, and we should not compromise that.
You need the individuals and the society that can develop and carry forward the liberation project, for the money of the wealthy to be marshalled effectively. In the end, it's not the money that is important, it's the ideas, the leadership and the vision of a project that really matter.
Are you optimistic?
Yes, because I see how all societies have amazing potential. I know that my younger colleagues are of a generation which is full of talent and a hunger to learn. We should continue to struggle against Israel's occupation and its injustices, but without losing track of all the issues that face us as a society, and how fragile we've become.
The resistance against Israel takes a toll on your resources. And the Israelis realize this. They realize when they bomb the hell out of a neighbourhood, that's not just a few houses that go down, it's a whole community that's probably going to be touched for a few generations.
We need to understand the consequences of certain political actions and as a society, better take care of our own citizens.
Would you like to add anything else?
At a reception we held in December to honour my late father, a guy asked me if a story he'd heard about him was true – that Yasser Arafat had once said to him: 'I want you to be the Palestinian Rothschild'. And my father had humorously replied, 'I'll be our Rothschild when we have our own Ben-Gurion!'.
The story is true, and Yasser Arafat liked my dad a lot so he laughed and he was smart enough not to be insulted by the joke. But the point is you need the individuals and the society that can develop and carry forward the liberation project, for the money of the wealthy to be marshalled effectively.
In the end, it's not the money that is important, it's the ideas, the leadership and the vision of a project that really matter.

A late season replacement for Philip Morris Playhouse, the popular anthology series Public Defender premiered in March, 1954, a time when the concept of a taxpayer funded defense attorney was largely associated with capital cases. But with everyday stories based on real-life events, tackling every kind of thorny dilemma from juvenile delinquency to vehicular homicide, the series not only shed new light on this little known public office, but its attention to realistic detail made the show a key player in the history of television crime drama.
Created by Mort Lewis and Sam Shayon, and produced by Hal Roach, Jr., Public Defender stars Reed Hadley (Racket Squad) as Bart Matthews, a tireless and dedicated public servant who earnestly defends the rights of the indigent. The series is also notable for providing directorial assignments for veterans such as Erle C. Kenton and up-and-comers like Budd Boetticher.
Guest stars from the golden age of both film and TV pack each episode with big names such as Natalie Wood, Charles Bronson, Martha Hyer and Dennis Hopper, and also many familiar movie and TV faces like Hugh Beaumont, Marie Windsor, James Gleason, Steve Brodie, Hillary Brooke, Ted de Corsia, Dwayne Hickman, Mae Clarke, DeForest Kelley, Phyllis Coates, Douglass Dumbrille, Dick Foran, Virginia Gregg, Alan Hale, Jr., Percy Helton, Mike Mazurki, Denver Pyle, Lyle Talbot, Veda Ann Borg, Kenneth Tobey, Linda Stirling, Adele Jergens, Jimmy Lydon, Mary Beth Hughes, John Qualen, Darryl Hickman, Harry Carey, Jr., Harold Peary, Alan Reed and Noel Neill, among many more, making an appearance."

Police Investigate Burglary At Actor Rob Schneider's Encino Home
Filed Under:Actor, Burglary, Encino, Entertainment, Patricia Azarcoya Schneider, Rob Schneider, Theft
(photo credit: Larry Busacca/Getty Images)
ENCINO (CBSLA.com) — Police say they're investigating a break-in at actor Rob Schneider's Encino home.
It happened while the "Deuce Bigalow" star and his wife, Patricia Azarcoya Schneider, were out of town, some time late Friday night, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
Police say jewelry was among the items filched from the residence.
TMZ reports that the thieves also swiped a mint-condition Bowman Willie Mays rookie card valued at $175,000.
Schneider was in Montreal at the time of the burglary and his wife was having dinner in Los Angeles, according to TMZ. The site says the thieves broke in through a sliding glass door and stole her "diamond engagement ring, a Cartier watch and other expensive items."


After these Vegan Vanilla cupcakes, the other cupcake recipe that is made quite often in my house is this vegan chocolate cupcake. This recipe is also from 'Vegan Cupcakes Take over the World'. I tried other eggless cupcake recipes, but this recipe has always given me consistent results. The cupcakes are moist and fluffy and they hold up to butter cream frosting.
I made these cupcakes for my son's birthday and sent them to school. His class has kids who have very severe peanut allergy, so I always make sure that all the ingredients I use are peanut free.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line muffin pan with paper or foil liners.
Whisk together soy milk and vinegar in a large bowl. Set aside for a few minutes to curdle.
Add sugar, oil, vanilla extract and other extract, if using, to the soy milk mixture and beat until foamy.
In a separate bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients in 2 batches and beat the batter is almost smooth, few lumps are OK.
Pour into liners upto ¾s of the way. Bake 18~20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cupcake comes out clean.
Transfer to cooling rack and let cool completely before frosting.
I used the same Chocolate frosting recipe from here.
This is my entry to Valli's weekly 'Cooking from Cookbook Challenge'.
wow so delicious cupcakes there 🙂 looks awesome !! loooks super tempting .. wud love to grab these super moist cupcakes !!
Pavani, you had me drooling over your delicious looking chocolate cupcakes..wow I am sure my kids would love these..now I have to get apple cider for this..of course I guess I can make it non vegan by using regular milk right..

I wrote this song last week while in UK, and I guess my hippy roots are showing a bit. It's self-explanatory really.
Salut François - merci pour ton commentaire, et je chercherai les chansons de "Effron White" bientôt.
Jim, This has that great flavor from when I was roaming around the California coast back in the mid '60's. Still ramble around there sometimes but it SURE has changed. Thanks.
Too kind - glad you like it.
Er, ... I'd better work it our myself first.
Enjoyed listenin' I really enjoy songs of the ramblin' kind and this one is a good one!!

Oceanside's Sudden Construction Boom Was a Long Time Coming
By Maya Srikrishnan.
There's something strange happening in Oceanside.
A surge of development is revitalizing the city's downtown, right along the coast – and the city's residents seem to be in favor of it.
A handful of projects are moving forward in downtown Oceanside, with buildings reaching four to eight stories going up and little in the way of community opposition rallying against them.
Though it feels sudden, the plan to transform downtown has been in the works for decades, following years of planning, a pause from the recession and a lawsuit that held things up even further.
But now, construction is happening rapidly. The plan focuses on a nine-block area bounded by The Strand, Cleveland Street, Seagaze Drive and Civic Center Drive.
"We're about to explode with this nine-block plan," said Rick Wright, executive director of MainStreet Oceanside, a nonprofit that promotes economic development in downtown Oceanside. "This is all coming into fruition all of a sudden."
The city started the plan to revitalize downtown Oceanside in the '90s. It went through years of negotiations – over community concerns, like parking, and for approval from the state's Coastal Commission.
These nine blocks are also adjacent to the city's North County Transit District station. The transit agency and city are in discussions about potentially developing the land around the transit center.
This transit hub is one of the most widely used in the state: It's the southernmost stop for MetroLink, a Los Angeles commuter line, the northernmost stop for San Diego's coastal commuter rail, the Coaster, and the westernmost stop for the Sprinter, North County's light rail line.
Oceanside Deputy Mayor Chuck Lowery, who lives right by the downtown area, said as a resident he had to come to terms with the planned changes to his community, like increased density and building heights.
"We just realized that this is OK," Lowery said. "We still have a very livable community, even though we have focused on a developed downtown."
Once everyone finally agreed on a plan, the recession hit.
Then, after the recession passed, attorney Cory Briggs sued the city on behalf of San Diegans for Open Government, over a decision to grant a resort hotel project – one of the centerpieces of the downtown renovation – a $13.69 million tax subsidy. A court ruled in favor of the city in October. Briggs appealed that decision and the case is ongoing, but the city is working with the developer anyway to finalize the project's permit application. It's unclear whether the developer will hold off on submitting the final plans until a court hears the appeal.
Two hotels that are part of the downtown plan are already up and running. Another four-story, mixed-use development is under construction.
"After decades of sitting there looking at vacant lots in a Southern California beach town – unheard of – it's going to fill up all of a sudden," Wright said. "I don't think people realize this was sitting here waiting to happen at the right time."
Oceanside developed differently than other coastal communities in North County, said Kristi Hawthorne, event coordinator of the Oceanside Chamber of Commerce and president of the Oceanside Historical Society.
Before World War II, Oceanside was a commercial hub.
In the 1920s the city had the first high school in the region, where students came from as far as Del Mar to attend, she said. It also had the first national department store in the region, JC Penney. The city continued to boom throughout the World War II thanks to Camp Pendleton.
"We were the happening place to go," Hawthorne said.
But in the 1960s, there was a mass commercial exodus from downtown Oceanside. A mall opened in Carlsbad, and Oceanside businesses, including the JC Penney, left to open shop there. Anti-military protestors took to Oceanside over the Vietnam War because of its proximity to Camp Pendleton.
Other coastal towns stayed small and quaint during Carlsbad's boom, said Hawthorne. But Oceanside had a lot to lose.
"Now there was no reason to come to downtown Oceanside anymore," she said. "Oceanside had its darkest hours in the late '70s and '80s. We go from being the shining example of a coastal city to being a second-class city in people's eyes."
Industrial development and neighborhoods continued to expand eastward, but the downtown coastal area filled with dilapidated and vacant store fronts, motels, military surplus stores and dry cleaning. The pier was also falling down. Downtown was crime-ridden and far from family-friendly, said Hawthorne.
In the 1970s and 1980s, the long-range planning to give downtown a facelift began, Hawthorne said. The city renovated the pier and built a new civic center in the late '80s and early '90s. And in 1996, the Regal Cinemas came downtown, said Hawthorne.
The seemingly sudden renovation of downtown isn't sudden at all, she said.
"If you start building things to get people to come downtown, they will come downtown again," Hawthorne said.
Lowery said there's a lot of cash flow going into the tourist-oriented plans for downtown Oceanside. But the rest of Oceanside is also changing.
There's a secondary wave of business interests going in east of I-5, Lowery said.
"It's really great to see what's happening downtown and we're using that literally as a kick-off," he said.
For example, the first Starbucks is about to be built in the neighborhood of Posole, which has traditionally been lower-income and plagued with gang violence.
Some in the city are wary of how the surge in investment downtown will affect the city's lower-income residents, who live in neighborhoods like Posole, and their ability to afford to live in Oceanside.
"We have goals for affordable housing and we are unfortunately very far behind those goals," said Lowery.
In 2011, hoping to spur development, the city slashed the fee it charges developers if they don't include low-income units in their residential projects. That set the city back in providing more low-income housing, but in May 2015, the City Council reversed course and increased the fee.
Right now, all the city's affordable housing funds go toward a 288-unit, low-income complex east of I-5 called Mission Cove. The city purchased the land for low-income housing, intending to use the state's redevelopment program, which helped cities rebuild rundown areas. But redevelopment ended, leaving the city to fund the project over time as funds drip in.
But the fee increase might have promising results.
A proposed 328-home development, Villa Storia, opted to include 38 low-income units in its project, rather than pay the fee.
Lowery said he hopes the development will set a precedent so that future market-rate developments will include low-income housing.
"Oceanside has long been the most affordable coastal community in Southern California," said Hawthorne. "We're finding ourselves again and people are rediscovering us."

Approved by the Board of Trustees
Pomona College complies with all applicable state and federal civil rights laws prohibiting discrimination in education and the workplace. Specifically, all forms of harassment and discrimination, whether on the basis of sex, gender identity and expression, pregnancy, religion, creed, color, race, national or ethnic origin, ancestry, sexual orientation, medical condition, physical or mental disability, age, marital status, veteran status, family care leave status, genetic characteristics and information or otherwise prohibited by state or federal law, destroy that foundation of respect and violate the sense of community vital to the College's educational enterprise.
In addition, in accordance with California law, the College does not discriminate against employees on the basis of a lawful change of name, Social Security Number or federal employment authorization document (Labor Code section 1024.6); receipt of Medi-Cal coverage (Govt. Code section 13084); or having a California driver's license with a "federal limits apply" notation (Govt. Code section 12926(v)), and, in the spirit of these laws, the College extends these protections to students. Similarly, the College also does not discriminate against employees and/or students with "driving privilege cards," "driver authorization cards," or other government-issued alternative driver's licenses. Furthermore, in accordance with California law, the College does not discriminate against students on the basis of immigration status, primary language and citizenship (Civil Code section 51(b)), and, in the spirit of California law, extends these protections to employees. Verification of immigration status, and employment decisions based upon such verification where required by federal law, shall not constitute a violation of this Policy.
This Policy strictly prohibits discrimination against any individual at the College or at College activities occurring away from campus, including but not limited to all individuals regularly or temporarily employed, studying, or with an official capacity at Pomona College (such as Trustees, guest lecturers, volunteers, and contractors). This Policy covers admissions, access, and service in Pomona College programs and activities, as well as hiring, promotion, compensation, benefits, and all other terms and conditions of employment at Pomona College.
The College offers reasonable accommodations to qualified individuals with physical or mental disabilities to the extent the accommodation will allow them to perform the essential functions of the job and will not create an undue hardship. Further information relating to reasonable accommodations is available from the Human Resources office. If an employee believes she/he needs reasonable accommodation because of a disability, they should speak with the Human Resources Office or their supervisor.
Harassment-Free Campus and Workplace
The College strives to provide a campus and work environment where all individuals can visit, study, and/or work together comfortably and productively. Each individual has the right to visit, study and work in a professional atmosphere that promotes equal opportunity and prohibits discriminatory practices, including sexual and other forms of prohibited harassment. Such prohibited harassment is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. This Policy applies to all workers – not only employees but also to contractors, unpaid interns and volunteers. It both protects these students, staff, faculty and visitors and governs their conduct while engaged in College business and interacting with other members of the College.
The College prohibits harassment of any its workers based on an individual's race, religion, color, sex (including breastfeeding and conditions related to breastfeeding), gender (including gender identity and gender expression), age, national origin, ancestry, marital status, registered domestic partner status, medical condition, sexual orientation, genetic characteristics and information, physical or mental disability, military or veteran status, or any other legally protected characteristic. The workplace is not limited to the College's facilities, but may also include client and vendor facilities, as well as anywhere a student- or business-related function is taking place.
Prohibited harassment includes, but is not limited to, epithets, slurs, derogatory comments or jokes, intimidation, negative stereotyping, threats, assault or any physical interference with the employee's normal work or movement. Harassment may also include written or graphic material placed on walls, bulletin boards or elsewhere on the College's premises or circulated in the workplace that denigrates, shows hostility or aversion towards an individual or group because of the characteristics identified above. Whether or not the person means to give offense or believed his or her comments or conduct were welcome is not significant. Rather, the College's Policy is violated when other workers, whether recipients or mere observers are, in fact, offended by comments or conduct based on any of the specified protected categories referenced above.
Generally, to count as harassment under this Policy, such conduct must:
be based upon one or more of the categories mentioned in the Non-Discrimination Policy;
be offensive to the individual complaining of harassment and offensive to a reasonable person; and
be so persistent, repetitive, pervasive, or severe that it has the purpose or effect of substantially interfering with an individual's academic or professional performance or creating an intimidating, abusive or hostile educational, employment or living environment at the College.
Generally, statements and/or conduct legitimately and reasonably related to the College's mission of education do not constitute harassment.
Harassment may also occur when submission to conduct described above is made either explicitly or implicitly a term or condition of an individual's employment, education, living environment at the College, or participation in a College activity.
If any member of the College community has questions or concerns about any type of discrimination or harassment, they should to bring them to the attention of their supervisor, Student Affairs or the Human Resources Office. Students and employees can raise concerns and make reports without fear of reprisal. Anyone found to be engaging in any type of unlawful discrimination or harassment will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including expulsion and/or termination of employment.
It is the responsibility of all faculty, staff and students at the College to ensure compliance with this Policy. Accordingly, students, faculty and staff who believe they are being harassed or discriminated against, have observed harassment of, or discrimination against, another person at the College in violation of this Policy, or believe such conduct has occurred, should immediately report the incident following the complaint reporting procedures described in the College's Sexual Misconduct, Harassment and Discrimination Policy or the College's Discrimination and Harassment Investigation and Response Procedures. If students have any questions related to the Sexual Misconduct, Harassment and Discrimination Policy, please contact Title IX Coordinator, Susan McCarthy (susan.mccarthy@pomona.edu; 909-621-8017). If students have any questions related to the Discrimination and Harassment Investigation and Response Procedures, please contact Associate Dean of Campus Life, Ellie Ash-Bala (ellie.ash-bala@pomona.edu; 909-621-8611). If faculty have any questions related to these policies, please contact Associate Dean, Tony Boston (Tony_Boston@pomona.edu; 909-621-8497). If staff have any questions related to these policies, please contact Director of Human Resources, Brenda Rushforth (brenda.rushforth@pomona.edu; 909-607-1686).
If an immediate supervisor is involved in the conduct or, for some other reason, an employee feels uncomfortable making the report to that supervisor, the employee should report directly to the Office of Human Resources. The College encourages prompt reporting of complaints so that it can take appropriate action. Late reporting by itself, however, will not preclude the College from taking remedial action.
Any manager or supervisor who sees or hears about conduct that may constitute harassment under this Policy must immediately contact the Office of Human Resources. The College will not retaliate, nor will it tolerate retaliation, against individuals who complain in good faith about harassment on the campus or in the workplace.

Seasonal variation of manic and depressive symptoms is a controversial topic in bipolar disorder research. Several studies report seasonal patterns of hospital admissions for depres- sion and mania and variation in symptoms that appear to follow a seasonal pattern, whereas others fail to report such patterns. Differences in research methodologies , data analysis strategies, and temporal resolution of data may partly explain the variation in findings between studies. The current study adds a novel perspectiv e to the literature by investigat- ing specific meteorological factors such as atmospheric pressure, hours of sunshine, rela- tive humidity, and daily maximum and minimum temperatu res as more proximal predictors of self-reported daily mood change in people diagnosed with bipolar disorder. The results showed that daily maximum temperature was the only meteorological variable to predict clinically-relevant mood change, with increases in temperature associated with greater odds of a transition into manic mood states. The mediating effects of sleep and activity were also investigated and suggest at least partial influence on the prospective relationship between maximum temperature and mood. Limitations include the small sample size and the fact that the number and valence of social interactions and exposure to natural light were not investigated as potentially important mediators of relationships between meteorological fac- tors and mood. The current data make an important contribution to the literature, serving to clarify the specific meteorological factors that influence mood change in bipolar disorder. From a clinical perspectiv e, greater understanding of seasonal patterns of symptoms in bipolar disorder will help mood episode prophylaxis in vulnerable individuals.

Lyrically Evocative (28)
November 9, 2019 ~ beetleypete	~ 31 Comments
I wasn't born until 1952, so a song written in 1935 might be considered to be an unusual inclusion in this series.
But I knew various versions of this song in my early teens, and by the time I was in my mid-thirties, I was certainly relating to every line.
Originally performed on the BBC Radio in 1936, the song was later recorded by the wonderful Billie Holiday, who had a huge hit with it. Although a 1936 recording by the famous 'Hutch' also got some attention.
Over the following decades, it was recorded by almost every famous singer you could think of. Including Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra, and Sam Cooke.
Even now, at the age of 67, it sends shivers up my spine when I hear it.
I have chosen the much later recording by Brian Ferry, from 1973.
His rather melancholy tone, and deliberately stylised rendition, seems to suit the song perfectly.
Here are the lyrics.
Oh! Will you never let me be?
Oh! Will you never set me free?
The ties that bound us
Are still around us
There's no escape that I can see
And still those little things remain
That bring me happiness or pain
A cigarette that bears a lipstick's traces
An airline ticket to romantic places
And still my heart has wings
These foolish things remind me of you
A tinkling piano in the next apartment
Those stumbling words that told you what my heart meant
A fair ground's painted swings
You came you saw you conquer'd me
When you did that to me
I knew somehow this had to be
The winds of March that make my heart a dancer
A telephone that rings but who's to answer?
Oh, how the ghost of you clings!
First daffodils and long excited cables
And candle lights on little corner tables
The park at evening when the bell has sounded
The "Ile de France" with all the gulls around it
The beauty that is Spring's
How strange how sweet to find you still
These things are dear to me
They seem to bring you near to me
The sigh of midnight trains in empty stations
Silk stockings thrown aside dance invitations
Gardenia perfume ling'ring on a pillow
Wild strawb'ries only seven francs a kilo
The smile of Garbo and the scent of roses
The waiters whistling as the last bar closes
The song that Crosby sings
The scent of smould'ring leaves, the wail of steamers
Two lovers on the street who walk like dreamers

And here is Bryan, performing the song.
Still heartbreaking.
Before the name change to New Order, the British band Joy Division built up a large loyal following, and had a few minor hits. At the time, they were fronted by the troubled lead singer, Ian Curtis. His suicide in 1980, at the age of 24, stopped the band touring the USA. The other band members later reformed under the new name.
Curtis had problems adjusting to the routine of married life, as well as suffering from Epilepsy. His fragile mental state caused issues with his colleagues in the band as well.
The culmination of those events resulted in the song 'Love Will Tear Us Apart', released as a single from the second album, shortly after he killed himself.
He may not have been a great singer, but the lyrics of the song show a talent for expressive poetry that resonated very much with me.
When routine bites hard
And ambitions are low
And resentment rides high
But emotions won't grow
And we're changing our ways
Taking different roads
Love, love will tear us apart again
Why is the bedroom so cold?
Turned away on your side
Is my timing that flawed?
Our respect run so dry?
Yet there's still this appeal
That we've kept through our lives
But love, love will tear us apart again
Do you cry out in your sleep?
All my failings exposed
Gets a taste in my mouth
As desperation takes hold
And it's something so good
Just can't function no more?
Love, love will tear up apart again
Songwriters: Bernard Sumner / Ian Kevin Curtis / Peter Hook / Stephen Paul David Morris
This is Joy Divison performing the song, on the official video.

In 2015, I heard a song on my car radio. I liked the voice well enough, but it was the lyrics that really grabbed me.
Perhaps you have to be a certain age, certainly older than the singer, to fully be engaged with such words. But he was young, and he seemed to get it, so that was good enough for me.
I later found out the the song was by a Danish pop group, with the name of Lukas Graham. The singer is called Lukas Forchhammer. I had never heard of the band before, and I confess that I have never heard of them since. However, some easy online research tells me that they are still performing in 2019, all around the world. Of course, they are still mostly known for this song, and trading on its reputation.
That doesn't take away from the fact that it is indeed a powerful song, with particularly relevant lyrics to certain people.
And I am one of those people.
Once I was seven years old my momma told me
Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely
Once I was seven years old
It was a big big world, but we thought we were bigger
Pushing each other to the limits, we were learning quicker
By eleven smoking herb and drinking burning liquor
Never rich so we were out to make that steady figure
Once I was eleven years old my daddy told me
Go get yourself a wife or you'll be lonely
Once I was eleven years old
I always had that dream like my daddy before me
So I started writing songs, I started writing stories
Something about that glory just always seemed to bore me
'Cause only those I really love will ever really know me
Once I was twenty years old, my story got told
Before the morning sun, when life was lonely
Once I was twenty years old
I only see my goals, I don't believe in failure
'Cause I know the smallest voices, they can make it major
I got my boys with me at least those in favor
And if we don't meet before I leave, I hope I'll see you later
I was writing about everything, I saw before me
Soon we'll be thirty years old, our songs have been sold
We've traveled around the world and we're still roaming
Soon we'll be thirty years old
I'm still learning about life
My woman brought children for me
So I can sing them all my songs
And I can tell them stories
Most of my boys are with me
Some are still out seeking glory
And some I had to leave behind
My brother I'm still sorry
Soon I'll be sixty years old, my daddy got sixty-one
Remember life and then your life becomes a better one
I made a man so happy when I wrote a letter once
I hope my children come and visit, once or twice a month
Soon I'll be sixty years old, will I think the world is cold
Or will I have a lot of children who can warm me
Soon I'll be sixty years old
Once I was seven years old, momma told me

Curtis Mayfield: A Musical Journey
September 30, 2019 ~ beetleypete	~ 34 Comments
Curtis Mayfield first came to my attention as part of the vocal group, The Impressions.
I was only twelve years old when I heard their song Talking About My Baby. I was very taken with the distinctive voice on the track, which I later found out belonged to one Curtis Mayfield.
That inspired me to get one of their albums on vinyl, and the following year I became the proud owner of their latest release, 'People Get Ready'
The title song was about civil rights, and showcased the voice of Curtis Mayfield perfectly.
By 1970, I was 18 years old, and Curtis had left The Impressions to embark on a career as a solo artist. From his first album, he released the excellent 'Move On Up', and I was sure from the start that his new venture was going to be a winner.
1971 brought us his second album, 'Roots'. This also provided a world-wide hit, with the song, 'We Got To Have Peace'.
That track showed his distinctive voice at its best.
One year later, he created the award-winning soundtrack for the popular Blaxploitation film, 'Superfly', starring Ron O'Neal, with a role in the cast for Curtis playing himself. This was Funk music at its best, and became a huge hit both as a single release, and a soundtrack album too.
Over the next decade, he released an album almost every year. Then in 1987, he collaborated with the English band The Blow Monkeys, on the anti-Margaret Thatcher song, '(Celebrate) The Day After You'.
You can see and hear his distinctive contribution in this official video.
He continued to release records, and perform live to sell-out audiences. Then in 1990, he was seriously injured when a lighting rig fell on him during a performance. Paralysed from the neck down, he still managed to record his final, album, with all the vocals sung whilst lying on his back.
Seriously ill with Diabetes, he died in 1999.

Operatic Rock: God Gave Rock And Roll To You

I have featured this song here before. But it is worth another look.
I was watching a TV show late last night. It was showing classic performances from 1970s bands performing live on the now defunct BBC music show, The Old Grey Whistle Test.
Rod Argent founded The Zombies. He later met singer-songwriter Russ Ballard, and they became Argent. In 1973, when they released this song, I was still rooted in my love of Soul music, though also a big fan of David Bowie.
But this anthem from Argent swept me away, with Rod's amazing organ playing, and Ballard's brilliant guitar skills.
It was a song with scope, one meant to be seen and heard played live, showcasing the talents of all involved.
Forty-six years later, I am sad to hear that many people associate the song with the American band, KISS. Ballard wrote the song, and together with Rod Argent created a wall of sound to accompany it.
This is the original version, and it never gets old for me.
My wife is a huge fan of the singer Lewis Capaldi. The Scottish singer-songwriter has enjoyed a meteoric rise to fame, and has been compared in both style and substance to the world-wide pop phenomenon, Ed Sheeran.
I didn't take too much notice of him, leaving her to enjoy her new favourite. But then I heard this song.
The lyrics.
I'm going under and this time I fear there's no one to save me
This all or nothing really got a way of driving me crazy
I need somebody to heal
Somebody to know
Somebody to have
Somebody to hold
It's easy to say
But it's never the same
I guess I kinda liked the way you numbed all the pain
Now the day bleeds
Into nightfall
And you're not here
To get me through it all
I let my guard down
And then you pulled the rug
I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved
I'm going under and this time I fear there's no one to turn to
This all or nothing way of loving got me sleeping without you
Now, I need somebody to know
Somebody to heal
Just to know how it feels
It's easy to say but it's never the same
I guess I kinda liked the way you helped me escape
And I tend to close my eyes when it hurts sometimes
I fall into your arms
I'll be safe in your sound 'til I come back around
For now the day bleeds
But now the day bleeds
Songwriters: Benjamin Kohn / Lewis Capaldi / Peter Kelleher / Samuel Roman / Tom Barnes
Someone You Loved lyrics © BMG Rights Management, Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC
If you have ever broken up with someone, been dumped, divorced, or come off worse in a loving relationship, then you are sure to identify with every word.
And it sounds great too. Here is Lewis performing the song.
That's not him in the video. It's his cousin, the famous actor, Peter Capaldi.
In 1991, I heard a great love song on the radio. It was very much of its time, a 'Power Ballad'. Great saxophone work, and smooth vocals, I just had to get it. So I bought the CD album, by Curtis Stigers. Playing it over and over, I found that the lyrics of this song were very relevant to some situations in my life.
I haven't played it for many years now, but I heard it again a couple of days ago, and it all came flooding back.
Love is a hunger
That burns in my soul
But you never notice the pain
Love is an anchor
That won't let me go
I reach out to hold you
But you push me away
You always convince me to stay
And I wonder why
We hold on with tears in our eyes
We have to break down to just make
Things right
I can't seem to tell you goodbye
Yeah, I wonder why
I'm no angel
With my selfish pride
But I love you more every day
Love is an anger
That builds up inside
As the tears of frustration
Roll down my face
Why does love always have to turn
Out this way
I don't want to fight again tonight
About the little things please baby
I just want to find my way
Back to love
And I'll meet you there, baby
Songwriters: Curtis Stigers / Glen Ballard
I Wonder Why lyrics © Kobalt Music Publishing Ltd., The Bicycle Music Company
And here is Curtis performing the song. He plays that great Sax too.
Curtis is still performing and playing, mostly Jazz these days.
He is 53 now, and has much shorter hair.

Yehuda D. Nevo – A Comprehensive Skeptical Theory on the Genesis of Islam

Keywords Genesis of Islam early Islam archeology on Islam Quranic studies Syro-Palestine Negev Middle East in 7 th century CE
At the turn of the twentieth and twenty-first century, the field of Arabic and Islamic studies became enriched by a number of multi-facetted scholarly theories challenging the traditional account on the early centuries of Islam. An author of one of them was the Israeli scholar Yehuda D. Nevo (1932–1992), working in archaeology, epigraphy and historiography. He devoted much of his career to the studying of Arabic rock inscriptions in the Negev desert, as well as to investigating literary and numismatic evidence of nascent Islam. In his theory, the gradual development of the Islamic faith, inspired by Abrahamism with an admixture of Judeo-Christianity, went through a stage of "indeterminate monotheism". Not earlier than since the end of the second century A.H. one can speak of the formation of the dogmatic pillars of Islam, similar to those we know today. This paper is an attempt to sum up Nevo's insightful input into the field of modern Islamic & Quranic studies today. Although controversial and unorthodox, many later researchers repeatedly refered to Nevo's plenty of inspiring theses in their quest for facts on Islamic genesis lost in the maze of time and shifting memory of generations.
