ACEBEAM EC65 is a handheld every day carry flashlight that can fit into the palm of your hand. There are two different LED options available for this EDC flashlight. It can be purchased with either 4 * CREE XHP35 HI LEDs or 4 * Nichia 219C LEDs.
ACEBEAM EC65 uses TIR optics with an acrylic lens with honeycomb to produce highly efficient optics with a huge variety of beam shapes. The 4 * CREE XHP35 HI LEDs version is equipped with a smooth TIR lens for an extra long-range beam of 231 meters. The 4 * Nichia 219C LEDs version utilizes an orange peel TIR lens with a max beam distance 142 meters.
The toughened ultra-clear tempered glass lens with anti-reflective coating gives the Acebeam EC65 about 98.3% transmittance, making the flashlight usable in every condition.
The five different brightness levels can be quickly selected by the side switch: Firefly - Low - Mid - High - Turbo which can be used for reading, searching, camping, caving, rescuing, etc.. From the firefly mode of 20 lumens to turbo mode of 4000 lumens for the 4* CREE XHP35 Hi LEDs version, and firefly mode 20 lumens to turbo mode of 2200 lumens for the 4 * Nichia 219C LEDs version. The Acebeam EC65 can run up to 3.8 days at the lowest brightness mode of 20 lumens for both versions.
The built-in charging function charges either 21700 or 18650 Li-ion batteries through the newest Type-C USB charging port. USB Type-C can charge at up to 3 times the speed of traditional Micro-USB input. There is a battery indicator beside the side switch that is red indicating charging is needed and when green it indicates the charging has completed. The Acebeam EC65 is made up of durable aircraft-grade aluminum with premium type III hard anodized and anti-abrasive finish. The excellent knurling throughout the surface of the entire light helps ensure you can maintain a good grip in the worst conditions.
The Acebeam EC65 is waterproof and can be submerged under water up to 5 meters.
EC65 is capable of tail standing on a flat surface so you can use it as a candle.
EC65 is a very powerful flashlight but also compact and lightweight in size. Overall length is 114.5mm with 30mm head diameter and 27mm tube diameter, weight is 82g excluding batteries.
EC65's small size and very bright beam make it a good choice for many different outdoor applications.
From off a quick press will turn on the Acebeam EC65 to the last used brightness mode ( low, med or high). Once on cycle through the modes by holding down the button ( low, med, high) to find the brightness level you need. When you turn off the Acebeam EC65 the last mode will be remembered. While in any of these modes a double click will take you to turbo and a triple click will take you to strobe.
From off hold button for 1/2 a second to enter firefly mode.
From off holding down the button will enable lockout mode.

Today's direct liquid cooled base plates are designed to be lightweight, smaller in size, energy efficient, and lower cost. In demanding applications, such as HEV/EV vehicles, cold plates are also able to meet stringent transportation standards.
Direct liquid cooled base plates eliminate the thermal grease interface between the power modules and their heat sinks. Direct contact between the bare power die and the cooling base plate minimizes the thermal resistance between the power semiconductors and the cooling fluid.
Rogers' RO-LINX® busbars serve as power distribution"highways."These laminated busbars provide a customized liaison between the power source and diode.
curamik® DBC coolers feature a micro channel structure of thin copper layers. This greatly increases the copper surface area, making effective cooling possible. The micro channel structure determines the thermal resistance, the pressure drop, and the flow rate characteristics of the cooler.


The House approved 230-197 on Thursday night a measure that would keep the government open for one month, although the bill's fate in the Senate remains uncertain.
For much of the day, it was an open question whether an effort to avert a government shutdown when current funding expires Friday night would have enough votes to emerge from the House. But the House Freedom Caucus negotiated with House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., and President Trump, and provided its support for the measure in exchange for a vote on increasing military spending caps.
Congress has until midnight Friday to approve a spending package, or federal agencies will shut down. The House continuing resolution would fund the government until Feb. 16, and it would provide a six-year reauthorization of the Children's Health Insurance Program.
But Democrats opposed the measure, noting that programs like community health centers, which many CHIP enrollees use, remain unfunded, and demanded a vote on codifying protections for undocumented immigrants brought to the United States as children as outlined in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which is slated to expire March 5.
Lawmakers also must reach a deal to increase spending caps laid out in the 2011 Budget Control Act, or else a sequester will take effect. The current spending limits are $549 billion for defense spending and $516 billion for non-defense agencies in fiscal 2018.
Meadows said that in exchange for the Freedom Caucus' support for the one-month CR, the House would hold a vote on a measure to increase budget caps for defense spending, but not non-defense spending. And he received assurances that GOP leadership would bring forward a conservative immigration proposal by Rep. Bob Goodlatte, R-Va.
But those measures seem likely to solidify Democratic opposition to a spending deal, particularly in the Senate, where Republicans need votes from the minority party in order to reach the 60-vote cloture threshold. Democrats have advocated for a long-term budget deal that increases military and non-military spending caps by equal measure.
A bipartisan group of senators had reached a deal on immigration and DACA last week, but it was panned by President Trump, whose comments during a meeting on the deal dominated news coverage. On Thursday, in part citing the lack of progress on the proposal, a slew of Senate Democrats announced they would vote against the House spending bill.
And on Thursday evening, Sens. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., who helped broker the Senate immigration agreement, and Mike Rounds, R-S.D., announced that they too would vote against the measure.

Washington Nationals Season So Far: Luck or Destiny?
By Doghouse May 3, 2010, 11:30am EDT
Share All sharing options for: Washington Nationals Season So Far: Luck or Destiny?
T. Plush sez, "I'm faster than math."
The three of you who've been following my stat posts for last couple of seasons know that I'm interested in "luck." Last season, the Nationals' poor luck actually defied mathematical analysis (I exaggerate only slightly). This season, things are going better. We all expected something like 70 wins, and the team has a winning record in its first 25 games. Steven from FJB has found several bad teams that have had good starts in the past, while Chris Needham points out that if you replace some particularly horrible starts with average ones, the Nationals are actually in line with their expected winning percentage. Anyhow, the recent good run got me curious: how much is good luck, and how much is good baseball? A look at lucky games and lucky hitters after the jump.
Nats to Pythagoras: Get Bent!
Let's start with the only stat that matters in the end, win/loss. The Nats are 13-12, a game over 0.500, and tied for third in the NL East. What makes this particularly interesting is that the team has managed a winning record while being outscored 124 runs to 104 over the season so far! If you look at Pythagorean "expected" win/loss percentages based on their runs scored and allowed to date, the Nationals should have a record of about 10-15. That's a nice change when you consider that the team was even worse than its (bad) expected record for most of 2009. Why would this be the case? Well, usually beating your "expected" record means the team is winning a lot of close games and losing mostly blowouts. I took a look at the Nats' record in two kinds of games: those decided by 3 runs or less ("saves") and those decided by 4 runs or more ("blowouts").
W/L Runs Scored Runs Allowed "Expected" W/L
Saves 10-4 55 44 8-6
Blowouts 3-8 49 80 3-8
The Nationals have done about like you'd expect in blowouts, given how their opponents have outscored them in those games. The "saves" are more interesting: this is where the team is beating Pythagoras, and I think we can all picture the run-saving diving catches that have been responsible. Taking away two wins in the close games (supposing balls were hit just out of reach of a diving Nyjer Morgan or Willie Harris instead of being highlight reels), and the Nationals' overall record is 11-14, just about in line with what Pythagoras predicts. Coincidentally, 11-14 projects out to a 71-win season--sound like anything we were expecting earlier?
Next, let's take a quick trip through the order to see who's raking and whether we think they'll keep it up. As always, we'll start with the slash stats (average/on-base percentage/slugging percentage) and OPS+ (player on-base-plus-slug compared to league average: 100 is average, higher than 100 is above average, and less than 100 is below average). I'll also take a look at player batting average on balls in play (BABIP), which is how many batted balls fall in for hits; generally, if BABIP is above .300, a player is getting lucky with "hittin' 'em where they ain't," and if it's less than .300, a player is unlucky. A BABIP of .300 is league average; some players have an "expected" BABIP (xBABIP) that may be different, which I'll point out.
Here are all the players with at least 50 PA so far this season:
Ivan Rodriguez has been hitting out of his mind: 400/431/508 for an OPS+ of 148 in 72 PA. Sadly, Pudge's success has probably come from his 433 BABIP. Mind you, he hits the ball hard, and his xBABIP is an above-average 340 or so. Still, he's getting hits an extra 30 percent of the time from good luck with where they land--expect that OPS+ to regress to a still-above-average-yet-less-godlike 110 or so.
Adam Dunn, despite a slow start, is 233/371/465 in 105 PA with an OPS+ of 120. He hasn't been particularly lucky or unlucky (296 BABIP). Moar d1ngerz!
Cristian Guzman has not been burning up the leaderboards with a line of 271/287/376 in 88 PA, for a 75 OPS+. That below-average performance actually comes courtesy of above-average luck (329 BABIP). Guz hits a lot of grounders, and doesn't take many walks (although he already has 3 this season! Let's hear it for patient Guz!).
Adam Kennedy is hitting 214/269/329 in 78 PA with a 58 OPS+. He's been punished with a 230 BABIP, and we'd expect above 290--expect to see about 25% more hits out of AK as his BABIP regresses. Let's get that OPS+ up to Guz-like 73!
Ian Desmond is putting up 247/304/411 in 82 PA for a 88 OPS+. Although that's with a 315 BABIP, Desi hits the ball hard--his xBABIP is around 320. I think he's got a shot at being a solid league-average hitter, which is great for a plus-defense shortstop.
Ryan Zimmerman has had only 59 PA, in which he's managed to hit 370/424/778 for a phenomenal 210 OPS+. However, that's on top of a 400 BABIP; even the Z-Man only has a 310ish xBABIP. But even with 25% fewer hits, we're looking at well-above-average hitting.
Josh Willingham has put in a solid performance, hitting 263/417/425 in 103 PA for an OPS+ of 124. He leads the team in walks, and has managed this with a marginally-unlucky BABIP of 286. Expect to see Josh keep rolling with solid offense, in line with last year's 127 OPS+. He's even 4-4 in steals!
Nyjer Morgan has slapped, bunted, and slugged his way to 274/355/432 in a team-leading 108 PA for a OPS+ of 108, too. In spite of his 325 BABIP, this performance could be legit--Nyjer hits the ball like Pudge, and his xBABIP is around 340! Expect Nyjer to keep owning the leadoff spot, and maybe look a bit better. Let's hope he improves on his painful 6-11 record in steals, though.
Willie Harris has managed 175/320/425 in 51 PA, for a 96 OPS+. That's right, a guy with a sub-Mendoza batting average is providing league-average production, thanks to a high walk rate and a full 86% of his hits being for extra bases. As his brutally-unlucky 179 BABIP regresses to the mean, look for TAWH to maintain a roughly league-average pace (although his xBABIP is only 260 or so).
Overall, the Nats record so far is a bit lucky. Expect to settle in below 0.500 as the season goes on.
As far as batters go, Pudge, Zimmy and Guz are doing better than you'd expect, although Pudge and Zim will still be league-average or better with "average" luck (and Guz might get worse). AK and TAWH are due for a bit of improvement over their current luck, although only to below-league-average and league-average, respectively. Everyone else has had roughly average luck at the plate.
And as for pitchers? We'll tackle that in another post.


And that is where tonight comes in. As I was trying to avert my attention from an indignation- one of the strongest I have had- that would not go away, I mumbled, "God help me." The next thought I had was a prayer I had made. But first, let me provide a little more background on the reason for my anger- I have been dealing with someone who treats those around him like they are animals, blames other people constantly and instantly for any problem, scarcely if ever concedes any error (it is always the fault of some other 'crazy' person), and is possibly the meanest person I have ever met. All of this is becoming very tiresome to me. Today after receiving a substantial amount more of this than I thought just or right, I fumed inside, but my mouth stayed closed.
Now, let me return to my prayer, "God help me." Scarcely had I closed my mouth before I remembered a recent prayer- that this person might be able to see the love God had for him. I started to see, more and more experientially and to my humiliation, that God took all of that- the anger, fury, false accusations- from me and one hundred times more, and still offered me the free gift of salvation! I could never earn that, and deserved anything but by my conduct. My temper subsided and I started to consider this situation with eternity in view. This person seems to have the authority now, but really, he has no authority God has not permitted him to have. In the end, he and I will have to account for all our deeds, but I now have Jesus to take the punishment that I deserve while he has no one to take his anger except the people now.
In praying for God to help me see the love he had towards someone else, God showed me a portion of the love that he has for me. I do not regret this prayer or denounce it, but I was caught off guard by its answer (or partial answer).
I saw another picture too- in the abating of this man's anger, he tapped me on the shoulder, said, "don't worry about it," and then left.
How often have I done that to God when I have sinned, simply wanted to change the subject, "don't worry about it," and move on with everything the same and better than before? Brothers (and sisters if you are reading) this is what half-hearted repentance is to God! It makes God more distant because we treat the God we love and serve with a cavalier attitude and don't see the wickedness of our sin or come to grips with why we were wrong.
Let us learn to pray and learn to love and learn to repent.

CHERRIES are sweating on the fitness of Eddie Howe and Brian Stock after the duo both picked up ankle injuries on Tuesday night (Dec 7).
Howe was stretchered off in first-half stoppage time after landing awkwardly following an aerial challenge with Bradford's Michael Symes.
And Stock succumbed just three minutes into the second period after failing to shake off the knock he had sustained at the end of the first half.
Cherries boss Sean O'Driscoll said last night: "They both went over on their ankles and we'll have to assess them in the morning. They are both strapped up now so we'll send them home and see how they are in the morning.
"Eddie was walking on his in the changing room, but you can't tell with things like this. As he was coming off, he felt the feeling come back in his ankle, but we've got another game on Friday.
"It was the same with Brian. He came back out for the second half and gave away his first two passes so he clearly wasn't fit enough to continue."
O'Driscoll added: "The boys who came on did fantastically. Shaun Maher was unlucky to be left out after the game on Saturday when he did really well.
"Brian's been playing out of his skin, but I thought Marcus (Browning) and Shaun came on and did a job. I thought they were excellent."
First-half goals inside the opening 18 minutes from Karl Broadhurst and Alan Connell propelled Cherries into fourth place in League One.
O'Driscoll said: "I thought we were excellent. We had won the game in the first 20 minutes and then lost the plot a little bit. They showed what a good side they are.
"I thought we were really professional in the second half but looked really tired at times. Bradford hadn't played for eight days and I thought that told in the end.
"Sometimes, the way you like to play is not the way you have to play and in the second half, without playing the football we like to play, I thought we controlled it and limited them to hardly any chances.
"Fair play to them, they dug in during the second half when it was a different game. They knew what they had to do. We were 2-0 up so it was a case of protecting what we had and do what they were trying to do to us; defend deeply and hit us on the break.
"The game changed the longer it went on. We showed another side to our character. We're a footballing side and people who watch us will say we're not renowned for being a strong tackling side, but I thought mentally we were really strong tonight.
"We were lucky to come in at half-time with a clean sheet but we set our stall out in the second half and had something to protect which was nice and I thought we did the job."
Meanwhile, Southampton have turned down Cherries' latest request to bring Martin Cranie back on loan.


Well, isn't that the truth. If I had a dollar for every day that I felt like shaking my fist to the skies and uttering something like that…well, maybe I wouldn't even need to work anymore! It is our human experience, so many times, that we work to the utmost of our capacity and yet it doesn't seem like we accomplish what we set out to do.
So, I can relate to the fishers of fish in this Gospel lesson, out there on the Lake, lowering their nets and pulling back an old shoe or a few minnows. Ugh. So frustrating. And along comes Jesus and says, "lower your nets." Simon is willing to do it, but if I could read sarcasm into the Biblical Greek, I can imagine it was with a bit of, "Ok, whatever you say, Jesus…" Either that, or I'm projecting. It would have been like that for me, at least.
But it occurs to me that Jesus knew that, too.
Jesus knows when we are exhausted, and frustrated. Jesus knows when we have put that net into the water for the 10,000th time only to dredge up nothing worthy. Jesus knows that when the still, small voice of our heart hears the nudge to try one more time, our exhausted frame says, "are you kidding?" even if our dutiful response is, "if you say so…" It might be that the real love is casting that net even when we are filled with doubt.
I think that is what Jesus means here. It isn't a story of magic or "third time's the charm." It's a matter of engaging our skills to serve the world even when we aren't sure that it will produce great things. It is casting our cares on God who says, "one more time" and then being delighted by whatever emerges from that haul.
I also note that Simon didn't try to do it alone. Remember that, friends.
Here at Faith from the Margins to the Web, I haven't been able to do it alone, either. My nets have been filled to overflowing with God's grace. I've had participants and students and Patience my beautiful friend and photographer. I have more people who want to participate than time to type and cut and curate and post what they have to share. The haul has been greater than I anticipated, or that will fit in my boat.
That brings me to my point here, and why I'm writing this week's reflection solo. I have so many people who want to participate in groups and bible studies in my context that it's gotten hard to manage. I've decided to spend my time with them instead of managing the flurry of recordings, information and weekly blogging. So, I'm asking my village: is it time for us all to fish for people?
Right now, I write a blog each week, but my hope is that this blog has inspired others to do the same. We are all called to fish for people. Maybe we are all called to bring our own sense of the Gospel to each other as well, crossing all the margins that could separate us so we can see Christ in each other.
So, I'm moving away from doing all the writing and the curating, and inviting this community of readers to help. Pick a week…any week…and sit down with someone you know (or even someone you don't) and read the Gospel lesson together (you can find the weekly lesson here). Write down what you think. Send it to me, and I'll post it here (just tell me how you want me to give you credit and list your name!). If you want a copy of the template we use for bible study, just ask! I'll send it to you. I'll still be engaging people in bible study here and posting from time to time as well as I'm able…but the boat is full, and I'm reaching out to see who else can help me with these nets filled with beautiful reflections on the holy scriptures that are yearning to be heard.

Sunday Talk Show Tip Sheet
By Kathryn McGarr
Receive the latest archive updates in your inbox
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton will sit down on "This Week."
Hillary Clinton makes her first Sunday show appearance as secretary of state on ABC's "This Week," three days after President Barack Obama's major Middle East address in Cairo, Egypt.
ABC host George Stephanopoulos will have plenty to discuss with Clinton, who traveled with Obama in Egypt – everything from Iran to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to the end of the war in Iraq.
And there might even be a political question or two, since her appearance comes a year to the day after she conceded the hard-fought Democratic presidential race to Obama.
On CBS's "Face the Nation," White House senior adviser David Axelrod and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) offer their often-opposite political perspectives. Initially, Gingrich called for the withdrawal of Obama's Supreme Court nominee, Appeals Court Judge Sonia Sotomayor, saying she was a racist, only to allow later that he may have spoken too hastily.
Axelrod appears as well on CNN's "State of the Union," as do three auto-city mayors – Michael Brown of Flint, Mich.; James Baker of Wilmington, Del.; and Michael Dinwiddie of Spring Hill, Tenn., the manufacturing base of General Motors' soon-to-be-sold Saturn operations.
The economy is also the thing on "Fox News Sunday," which hosts White House economic adviser Austan Goolsbee; Alabama Sen. Richard Shelby, the ranking Republican on the Senate Banking Committee who has been a frequent critic of Obama's economic plan; Google CEO Eric Schmidt; Thayer Capital Partners chairman Fred Malek; and acting Federal Communications Commission chairman Michael Copps.
On C-SPAN's "Newsmakers," Labor Secretary Hilda Solis is interviewed about the nation's rising unemployment rate by Los Angeles Times national correspondent Jim Puzzanghera and Cleveland Plain Dealer Washington Bureau Chief Stephen Koff.
Finally, on Bloomberg TV, Indiana Sen. Dick Lugar, the ranking Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, talks with "Political Capital" host Al Hunt about the president's speech in Cairo, developments in Iran and North Korea, GM's bankruptcy and Sotomayor's nomination to the high court.
NBC's "Meet the Press" is being pre-empted Sunday by the French Open.

By Will Maule
A powerful photo has emerged of a bishop praying for a Congolese priest as he kneels inside an Ebola quarantine zone. The priest was placed into quarantine after he tested positive for Ebola. He has since recovered from the illness and has been released.
The image was taken by photographer Will Swanson, who posted it to Twitter.
"Incredible image of a priest with Ebola being prayed for from afar by his bishop in DRC. There is an outbreak of Ebola in the country but officials say it can be contained," he tweeted.

According to Catholic Herald, Fr Lucien Ambunga was said to have contracted the disease after ministering to a dying patient. The bishop has been identified as Bishop Fridolin Ambongo of Mbandaka-Bikoro. The latest outbreak of the awful disease has killed 25 people, according to the health ministry of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
The total number of confirmed cases currently stands at 37, according to VOA News. Though the outbreak appears to be slowing, mainly due to the widespread dissemination of vaccinations, the World Health Organization has said that there is still more work to be done in order to contain the spread of disease. "The Ebola outbreak in DR Congo is not over and we need to continue to work," said WHO spokesman Tarik Jasarevic, according to VOA News.
"… There are lots of areas that are difficult to reach that we have to go to, that we need to make sure that we get to all the contacts. So, there still are contacts that have not been reached. So, it is really too early to say that the outbreak is contained."
According to WHO, the first doses of the vaccine arrived in the three Congolese cities on May 21, and over the following two weeks about 1,200 people have received the drug, as reported by The Hill.
In 2014, a massive Ebola outbreak caused the deaths of thousands in West Africa. Almost 5,000 died from the disease in Liberia alone. In Sierra Leone, around 4,000 people died, and in Guinea around 2,500 succumbed to the highly contagious illness.

History of Thanksgiving: How a Fashion Editor, the Civil War and the Great Depression Created Today's Holiday
Offbeat 6:38 AM PST, November 26, 2019 - JOHANNA LI
6:38 AM PST, November 26, 2019 - JOHANNA LI
Thanksgiving may have its roots in a 1621 harvest feast celebrated by members of the Wampanoag tribe and early colonists in Plymouth, Massachusetts, but it was several hundred years and dozens of different traditions later that our modern-day Thanksgiving holiday came to be.
"Thanksgiving is a holiday that has a long history, and it's amazing it has lasted this long and we [continue to] celebrate it," Linda Pelaccio, a culinary historian and host of the podcast "A Taste of the Past," told InsideEdition.com.
So how did the holiday come to be celebrated by people from all walks of life across the country on the fourth Thursday in November? It turns out there's a lot more to it than that 1621 feast.
"I don't think the word Thanksgiving was really there," Pelaccio explained of that early celebration. "It was a harvest feast. The only thing we really know from that account is that there was a lot of fowl on the table and a lot of venison."
Later on, in the 17th and 18th centuries, Thanksgiving wasn't so much celebrated as a singular holiday, but rather as several celebratory feasts, Pelaccio said. Such feasts were held to celebrate a good harvest, a victory in battle or the slaughtering of livestock in autumn before winter.
Then, in 1789, George Washington issued a public proclamation designating "a day of public thanks-giving," but "it never really went anywhere" and wasn't widely celebrated, Pelaccio explained.
The Thanksgiving holiday cause was taken up once again in the mid-19th century by New Hampshire native Sarah Josepha Hale, a novelist and editor for Godey's Lady's Book, an influential fashion magazine at the time.
"She decided she wanted to make this a national holiday that everyone should celebrate on the same day," Pelaccio said of Hale, explaining that she lobbied New Hampshire's governor to make it happen.
After successfully getting her governor to declare Thanksgiving a holiday on a state level, Hale continued her advocacy to make the day part of American life around the country.
When it reached the desk of President Abraham Lincoln in the days following the Civil War, it appeared to be the perfect way to bring Americans together.
"It was seen as a good way to unify the country and bring peace to everyone," Pelaccio said. "We should all gather together on this one day of the year to give thanks."
The decision to celebrate the holiday on a Thursday was the result of different religious groups' influences, Pelaccio explained. Leaders needed to come up with a day separate enough from the Sabbath to celebrate, and so they settled on a Thursday.
The idea of coming together for a big meal was also influenced by the way people relaxed after a long day of worship, even though the religious overtones have largely faded from the modern American Thanksgiving celebration.
Protestant worshippers in colonial America "would spend a day in services in churches and then come back and have a big meal," Pelaccio said. "Then, when the Puritans came in and took over a lot of the New England areas, it was even more so."
The tradition of having a large feast after church continued well into the 1800s and sometimes, such a meal was even spread over two days, she added. Some religious communities in the U.S. still hold meals after worship services.
The timing of Thanksgiving has also changed over the years.
"Thanksgiving had been celebrated the last Thursday of November for a long time, and a lot of people complained about that because it came too late in the season and was too close to Christmas, so it kind of squeezed the holidays together," Pelaccio said.
In 1939, President Franklin D. Roosevelt announced he would move Thanksgiving up to the fourth week of November beginning in 1941, partly in the hopes that it would help boost retail sales during the Great Depression. The decision drew mockery and led to the term "Franksgiving," a combination of the president's name and the holiday's.
Despite the initial mockery, however, the American people soon embraced the fourth Thursday of November as Thanksgiving Day. Because the holiday isn't tied to any one religion or group, its popularity is timeless and its message still resonates centuries later.
"It's a holiday to give thanks. It's not attached to anyone's particular religion or background. It's just a day of having food on the table – plenty of food on the table – and being together with family and friends," Pelaccio said.

Priority Area 5: Global Initiatives for Disease Control
Children from villages hard-hit by AIDS. Thirteen million children in sub-Saharan Africa have lost one or both parents to AIDS, and the number is expected to reach 40 million by 2010.15 The number of AIDS orphans is also growing in Asia and Latin America.
Global efforts are underway to help these children and prevent further devastation from HIV/AIDS and other infectious diseases. These global initiatives involve complex alliances among public and private groups, health and trade experts, and national and international donor organizations.
Photographer: Bobbie Person, Office of Health Communication, National Center for Infectious Diseases, CDC
Dr. Gro Bruntland, Director-General of WHO, has said that "solutions, like problems, have to be global in scope." In accord with this idea, WHO is helping to coordinate major global initiatives to reduce deaths from malaria, TB, and HIV/AIDS—diseases that contribute to poverty and economic stagnation. This approach was endorsed by the Group of Eight Industrialized Nations at the Okinawa summit in July 2000. WHO is also helping to coordinate global initiatives to increase developing-country access to vaccines against acute respiratory diseases, yellow fever, hepatitis B, and other diseases, through the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization (GAVI).
Global Health Initiatives
Although these global initiatives have clearly stated goals and are supported by multiple private and public sector partners (Box 6), the details of their implementation are still under discussion. Previous efforts to eradicate malaria by using a narrow approach to vector control ended in failure. Because no proven vaccines are yet available against malaria, TB, or AIDS, "one-shot" solutions are not feasible, and it will be necessary to employ multiple control strategies, including behavioral interventions that require a high degree of cooperation and trust in affected communities. The incidence of TB, HIV/AIDS, and acute respiratory infections is high in poor, war-torn, or post-Communist countries in which public health infrastructures have deteriorated. Moreover, emerging drug resistance complicates the treatment and control of each of these diseases.
A new priority for CDC will be to elevate the level of its participation in these and other global initiatives (Box 6). CDC and its partners will also consult on future international priorities for disease control, elimination, and eradication efforts—as well as for antimicrobial resistance monitoring and pandemic influenza preparedness planning—and help evaluate progress through the collection and analysis of disease surveillance data.
The Global AIDS Program
Increased participation in global health initiatives will require long-term partnerships with host countries, as well as improved coordination with public health partners throughout the world. CDC will build on its strengths in disease surveillance, laboratory science, and program evaluation to assist development agencies, international organizations, NGOs, and development banks that support international programs to strengthen healthcare systems and control disease. As a partner in the Global AIDS alliance (Boxes 6 and 21), for example, CDC has a special opportunity to work with UNAIDS and USAID to implement HIV/AIDS control programs on all continents (http://www.unaids.org/africapartnership/files/mrpretoria.doc ). As a partner in Roll Back Malaria , Stop TB , and GAVI, CDC can contribute to the Shared Agenda for Health in the Americas 16 developed by PAHO, the Inter-American Development Bank, and the World Bank.
Increased participation in global health initiatives also will require additional staff to work on projects overseas, as well as to provide diagnostic support from CDC laboratories in the United States. Full participation in GAVI, for example, will require increased programmatic support and technical expertise in acute respiratory diseases, yellow fever, hepatitis B, and meningococcal meningitis. There remains a shortage of U.S. and world expertise in many infectious disease areas. (See also Priority Area 6.)
CDC staff will also continue to work with ministries of health, WHO, PAHO, USAID, and other partners on disease elimination or eradication campaigns. In addition, CDC staff will help further efforts to reduce illness and death from acute respiratory diseases and diarrheal diseases, which—in addition to HIV/AIDS, TB, and malaria—are the leading infectious causes of death, worldwide. CDC will also continue to conduct applied research to improve our understanding of the genetics, physiology, and pathogenesis of microbes that cause illnesses targeted by global initiatives for disease control. (See Priority Area 3.)

Tami WJR Interview Troy Grand Opening
by Blake Powell | Feb 22, 2017 | News
Oxford Recovery Center relocates Troy, Mich. facility doubling its space to accommodate new treatment options
New location will allow Oxford to offer full spectrum of innovative therapies
South Lyon, Mich., Feb 22, 2017 – In a move to provide more wellness options to its Troy, Mich.-area clients, Oxford Recovery Center, LLC. (Oxford), an innovative therapy organization that promotes healing through a variety of research-based therapies, officially announced the relocation of its Troy office to a larger space designed to accommodate all Oxford therapy options. The new therapy center is located at 165 Kirts Blvd, Suite 500, Troy, Mich., 48084. Dr. Tami Peterson, PhD, founder and CEO of Oxford, announced the completion at an open house celebration on Thursday, Feb. 22, 2017.
"We are absolutely thrilled at the completion of the Troy relocation," said Peterson. "This means that we are able to offer the full breadth of our therapy offerings here in Troy, and bring more opportunities for healing to our current and future clients."
Oxford Recovery Center was founded in 2008, after Peterson (then Powell) experienced first-hand the therapeutic benefits of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (Hyperbaric) in healing her daughter, who had contracted a rare brain disease, Viral Encephalitis. After numerous consultations that offered little hope for her daughter's recovery, she became aware of and pursued Hyperbaric. This therapy led to her daughter's full recovery, and kick started what would become Oxford Recovery Center, LLC.
Oxford Recovery Center relocates Troy office, expands offerings
Since its founding, Oxford has added therapies including Neuro-Physical Therapy and Neurofeedback. In an effort to promote a lifelong wellness lifestyle, Oxford also added Nutritional Coaching and its Weightloss and Wellness program.
Oxford had also established a Hyperbaric facility in Troy, Mich. in 2010. As its therapy offerings expanded at the South Lyon location, Powell felt that it needed to include the expanded offerings at the Troy location as well. That vision is now a reality and the Troy location is fully equipped and professionally staffed, offering all therapies.

Alt Left: The Chameleon-Like Nature of Fascism
I wrote this in objection to a paper under review right now on Academia by a Left professor of Somatic Psychology, a PhD and a very smart man, who quotes Wilhelm Reich, a Jewish pro-sex and anti-fascist writer, as saying that fascists are out of touch with their bodies. Presumably antifascists are in touch with their bodies and not repressed. Apparently sexual repression and being out of touch with your body is part of the genesis of fascism. I don't agree. Here is my response, in part.
I think that quoting Reich on fascism is not the greatest idea. He's not the best person to ask about fascist theory. The modern intellectual descendants of Reich (the Cultural Left) don't have a very good view of fascism.
Further, Reich was an extreme sexual libertine who may have molested his sister and raped his maids as a boy. Reich's sexual libertinism was rejected by all Communists in the last century and is still condemned in existing Communist countries. So Reich's critique is ill-formed, as the Communists were just as bad as the fascists when it came to Reich's libertinism.
Fascists are sexually repressed? I don't know. I've run into some MAGA women lately who are ridiculously libertine to the point of being degenerate or depraved. They're about this far from becoming out and out porn stars. Yet fascists they are. A friend used to be an actor in the porn industry. He told me that the industry is full of conservatives. I'm aware of a few pornstars who were basically White Supremacists.
Donald Trump's fascism was nearly a "pornographic fascism." He cavorted with pornstars, cheated on all of his wives, made lewd remarks about his own daughter and the teenage underage daughters of his friends, reportedly attended sex orgies, and may have raped a 13 year old girl and forced a 12 and 13 year old girl to have sex with each other. He's as libertine as Reich, yet he's a fascist.
Better definitions are coming out of serious scholars of the Left. There area number of modern scholars who are trying to pin down exactly what fascism is. Almost all are operating from the Left. Among these superb modern theorists of fascism are David Neiwert who blogs at Daily Kos, the authors of a blog called Three Way Fight (not sure if it's still up), along with excellent political scientists working out of the universities.
Better older analyses of fascism also come from Lenin and especially from Trotsky, who wrote some of the best essays on fascism ever written.
A "popular dictatorship against the Left" seems to be the best definition. "Palingetic nationalism" is another, referring to the bird that rises from the ashes in mythology. Fascism appeals to "the everyman," "the man on the street" – "the shirtless ones" of Peronist fame. That's the appeal – to your "basic man" and "basic woman." It also appeals to strong primitive drives of aggression, violence, projection of failures onto outsiders, expansionism, often imperialism, an opposition to liberalism and democracy. It also opposes equality and in favor of hierarchy.
Fascism involves a reverence for sacred violence bordering on the religious, a worship of "the greatness of the ancestors," a dialogue to restore "the glory days of yore" from the ruins of the "degenerate present", ruined by liberals, democracy, anti-nationals, nation-haters, and traitors.
Fascism has historically supported a return to traditional values and a rejection of degenerate modernism, but as we can see in the "pornographic fascism" of Donald Trump, that's not necessarily the case anymore.
Fascism also always advocated a return to traditional male female role models, but that need to be a hindrance to basic equal de jure rights for women, as seen in the many successful MAGA women and the many often-religious MAGA men who love and cherish their wives.
Fascism has typically targeted minorities and has been racist. People think that fascism is inherently anti-Semitic, yet many early Zionists such as Jabotinsky were open fascists and supported the fascist movement in Europe. Some of the early Israeli guerrillas were Jabotinskist fascists.
I'd argue that Israel has been fascist from Day One, but certainly with the coming of Sharon and Netanyahu, the ideological descendants of Jabotinskyist fascism, Israel became literally a fascist country. Jacobinsky is the hero and spiritual founder of the Likud Party. He was an early Zionist who wrote a book in 1921 called The Iron Wall. He and his followers were strong supporters of the fascist parties in Europe in the 1920's and 30's. Some of the early Zionist guerrilla organizations were Jabotinskyist fascists.
In Lebanon, the Gemayalist Phalangists named after a general named Gemayal, are an actual literal fascist party. Even their name is fascist as phalange is a popular name for fascist parties. They are Christian Maronites who see themselves as transplanted Europeans, descendants of "Phoenicians," who despise Arabs and Islam. They are also the most pro-Israel party in Lebanon. This founder of this party had photos of Hitler in his school locker when he was in high school and the party's ideology is modeled on the classic European fascism of the 30's.
Israeli fascism is not anti-Semitic at all, and many White Supremacists actually support Israel as the model for the racist state they wish to set up. Many dislike Jews in the Diaspora who are seen as anti-national, but have no problem with the fascist Jews in Israel and see them as fellow fascists.
A number of the anti-immigrant Right parties in Europe are pro-Israel, including the National Front in France, the AfD in Germany, and the neo-Nazi party in Austria! They often like Israel because of its strong anti-Muslim orientation. Along the same lines, the Muslim-hating Hindu nationalist fascists ruling India in the form of the BJP party, are very pro-Israel.
The pro-fascist Spanish and Italian conservatives, remnants of former large fascist movements in those countries, are pro-Israel. The fascist Saudis, Bahrainis, Egyptians, Moroccans, and Ermiratis are now pro-Israel. They've always been Rightists so it's no surprise. So philosemitic fascism is absolutely possible and even existing.
Arab nationalists have always been quite fascist despite their Leftist trappings. Saddam was a fascist, as was Hafez Assad. Some think Bashar Assad is a fascist. The North African leaders, all Arab Nationalists, were fascists in the sense that they tried to destroy the Berbers' identity and make everyone into an Arab. The Assads and Saddam also attacked Kurds and Assyrians, in both cases in attempts to turn everyone into an Arab. Saddam also attacked Turkmen. And he discriminated against Iraqis of Iranian background in the South so much that he threw hundreds of thousands of them out of the country.
The Moroccan fascists are even expansionists, having invaded Spanish Sahara. The Indonesian fascists committed genocide in East Timor and Aceh and in the entire country against Communists when they unleashed a genocide in 1965 that murdered 1 million Communist in less than a couple of months. It was as bad as the Rwandan genocide.
All of these are examples of "Muslim fascists," so fascism and Islam are quite compatible.
There seems to be a view in the West that fascism must be White Supremacist and of course it must be anti-Semitic.
None of the above were White Supremacists. They were all non-Whites, and none were self-haters.
Also as you can see above, fascism need not be anti-Semitic.
I also listed a number of fascist and anti-Islamic movements, rightwing dictatorships along with the post-fascist conservatives in Spain and Italy. The former fascist followers of Mussolini and Franco simply melted into the rightwing movements of both countries. In Spain it was the Conservative Party, a party with fascist roots.The Francoists simply changed clothes and melted into the Conservative Party. Francoism is still extremely popular, mostly in the form of anti-separatism, these days. I've been to their very popular websites.
Burlusconi in Italy has inherited the descendants of fascism in Italy. A fascist and racist separatist and somewhat White Supremacist movement has formed in Northern Italy. They are White Supremacists in the sense that they claim the are Celts or "pure Whites" and they despise Southern Italians as de facto "niggers."
A friend in Italy told me that fascism was still very popular in Italy to this very day, although it was also widely hated as the Left in Italy is often Far Left or almost Communist. There are cities in Sicily were the leftwingers are all Communists and the rightwingers are all fascists. They engage in street battles all the time.
My friend told me that the Red Brigades, an anti-fascist Far Left group of Communists that attacked the state, was extremely popular in Northern Italy, particularly in Vicenzia Province where he lived. His sister was a strong supporter of the Red Brigades, and she came from a normal middle class background in Trieste.
Fascism is said to be anti-Muslim, yet we have Islamic fascism in Turkey, Azerbaijan, Brunei, Morocco, and probably the Taliban in Afghanistan. Turkey and Azerbaijan are classic fascists of the 1930's type, however they have married this to Ottoman imperialism and Islamic jihadism, particularly the genocidal variety that held sway in Turkey from 1880 until 1940.
That the Taliban are a new sort of fascism was an argument of the Leftists at Three Way Fight. I'm not sure I agree with that. Other Muslim fascists used to rule in Indonesia, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Iran. Above I listed more Muslim fascists in the Arab World, who might better be described as rightwing dictatorships.
Fascism is chameleon-like and changes shape endlessly to mirror and capture whatever times it is in. I can even see chameleon-like fascists adopting yoga, meditation, and bodywork, the "Left" body psychology mechanisms the author refers to. Hitler was a vegetarian and a good animal rights supporter, if terrible in so many other ways.
This aspect of fascism of what makes this political mercury blob so hard to pin down. Indeed, many fascists pose as anti-Nazis and anti-fascists and accuse anti-fascists of being fascists! I've seen this with my own eyes.
Problem is the Modern Left starts talking about fascism, and it immediately degenerates into propaganda and nonsense where we push views that line up whatever biases our Left formation is pushing du jour. The Cultural Left, which is almost devoid of intelligence or intellectual honesty of any sort, in particular cannot be relied upon, as almost everything coming out of there is propaganda and a lie in some form or another. For instance, the Cultural Left argues that White Supremacists, anti-feminists (or what feminists would call misogynists), homophobes, and transphobes are all "fascists."
That's utter nonsense as none of this Identity Stuff has anything to do with the Left in the first place, as the Left is only about economics and many Communists of the last century were in fact social conservatives described under the epithets above. Many of the antifascist fighters fighting in the Allies in World War 2 were White Supremacists, racists (in particular, racist against Blacks), "misogynists" (or at the very least strong sexists), and virulent homophobes. Trannies didn't exist back then, but they would have been hated much worse than gays.
The very racist White Southern Democrats of that time absolutely despised Hitler, Mussolini, and the rest of the European fascists along with the Japanese, who were promoting a sort of "fascist militarism."
The Cultural Left would have us believe that Stalin, Mao, Castro, Hoxha, Deng, Ho Chi Minh, the Bulgarian Communists, etc. were all fascists because they were social conservatives. Homosexuality was banned as a bourgeois vice in the Eastern Blog. The Shining Path executed homosexuals and cocaine abusers (another bourgeois vice). The Khmer Rogue were terribly racist. I don't think anyone will deny that they were Communists.
Even Strasserites are Communists, granted they were odd ones. Further, Strasser had no biological race-based objection to Jews. He had an economic objection. And he wasn't the best anti-Semite. He kept asking the others why they were so overboard on the Jewish Question.
Stalin wasn't the best on women's rights.
The Bulgarian Communists had opinions on race that would be considered Nazism nowadays.
As noted, homosexuality was banned in all of the Communist World. Castro put them in labor camps. The Communist Party of the Russian Federation even today doesn't have the best policy on gays nor on Jews for that matter. I'm pretty sure they are Communists.
Trans people were not even acknowledged by any Communist country ever.
We have to completely rethink our view of fascism.
It is perfectly possible to have a libertine fascism in a porn-drenched society, which is what we just went through with Trump. MAGA folks are not repressed at all in my observation. They're not out of touch with their bodies. The Sex Revolution of the 60's which I was a part of took care of that.
MAGA fascism even allowed for equal rights for women. MAGA women do not appear to be discriminated against legally. A lot of them made a lot of money and held high positions.
Fascism has always been homophobic, yet the Nazi brownshirts were full of homosexuals, and I've talked to many gay MAGA types.
I assure you that there are gay MAGA folks. I've talked to a number of them. Mitch McConnell is a lifelong homosexual. He's as fascist as they come. The first brownshirts were full of homosexuals. The Republican Convention welcomed an open fascist, the founder of Ebay, to their convention. They gave him a standing ovation.
I'm aware of Neo-Nazis to this day who are open homosexuals. James O'Meara was one. A number of White Supremacists have been outed as closeted gays. One was murdered by his young Black boyfriend. A friend used to be involved in these groups and he told me that was a LOT of homosexuality in this scene.
Brazilian fascist integralism was multi-racial and formally anti-racist, populist to the core. But Bolsonaro does not come from this milieu; he represents an actual throwback in some ways to classical European fascism of the 1930's.
Fascism has traditionally been racist, but Black and Indian fascism is a real thing. I believe that fascism knows no color. The Tonton Macoutes of Haiti were black fascists. The Black Hutu government in Rwanda was fascist, as was Mobutu in Zaire and Samuel Doe in Liberia.
A fascist indigenist Indian rights activist is running for President in Ecuador. He's pulled support from Cultural Left morons who support his Identity Politics while overlooking his fascism, a typical error of IP types, who are the a scourge of the Left.
Obviously modern fascism opposes transsexualism, but that's not necessarily the case into the future. Caitlin Jenner, a fully-transitioned transwoman, is MAGA.
In the future we may see even forms of fascism that offer equal rights to gays and maybe even transsexuals.

15 thoughts on "Alt Left: The Chameleon-Like Nature of Fascism"
WWII era Japanese seem like the purest form of Fascism. I think East Asians may be the ideal Communists and Fascists. The true Orthodox Jewish ideology is against Israel. Most Germanics hate Nazis. Italians may be the most sympathetic to Fascism of European Whites but today are more into wine-sipping leisure than marching legions.
In politics there is a vertical and a horizontal dimension. The vertical dimension is about the relations between the top dogs and the underdogs, and the horizontal dimension is about the relations between our breed of dogs and other breeds. To fascists, the horizontal dimension is more important than the vertical.
That could be good news for the underdogs, except that the weak underdogs will be seen as detrimental to the group because they undermine its strength. In the Hitlerjugend, boys and girls of all classes were welcome, but they tended to shun the weak. Fascism is not individualistic but collectivist. It will therefore be intolerant to those who are different and hostile to those who cannot contribute anything to the collective.
In a way, a fascist country is like an army. In an army there is cohesion, solidarity, uniformity, and hierarchy, but the army rejects the unfit. There is a difference protecting the well-being of all members of the group and enhancing the strength of the group.
Let's take a school class. Some of the pupils are not getting passing marks. If we seek to attend to the well-being of all classmates, then tutoring will be offered to those pupils who are getting failing grades. That would be like social democracy. If our aim is to increase the average marks of the class, then the best option is simply to eliminate the worst-performing pupils. That would be fascism.
The Religious Right like the evangelicals were probably more repressed than Trump supporters ever were, even though there is overlap. The old Religious Right were often types who objected to Rock and Roll devil music, whereas the typical Trump supporter was nowhere near so morally or religiously inhibited.
That's Trump's big accomplishment. He effectively ended the domination of mainstream conservatism and the Republican Party by the alliance of values-evangelicals and corporate libertarians. They still have their place in the Right, but the mojo now is with populism.
Back in 2015-16, when Trump was still a candidate, you could see this shift in the comment section of Breitbart. Before Trump, questioning neoliberal economics and Reaganism was heresy in those parts. But almost instantaneously, the comment sections under Breitbart articles were filled up with thousands to tens of thousands of comments lauding the idea of populist economics. The old corporate conservatives didn't know what the Hell hit them.
Same for the evangelicals. Suddenly the comment sections were no longer filled with the usual talking points and a comments with a much more rowdy tone had replaced them. Whereas the Corporate and Evangelical Right were uptight and snooty, the MAGA crowd were like a biker gang: loud yahoos whom the former sorts traditionally considered beyond the pale, and in many cases still do, especially among the Corporate Right.
On a general note, fascists are probably less inhibited and much more in touch with nature in general than Enlightenment-spawned groups like old school liberals, conservatives, socialists, and communists. The whole postmodern revolt against the Enlightenment seems to be based on a yearning for pre-modern or neofeudal social and cultural forms. Postmodernism is really pre-modernism. They want to return to natural tribalism, the state of blood frenzy when one's enemies are smited, sexual liberation, and all the rest.
Fascism is one form of this postmodern or anti-modern, anti-Enlightenment, even anti-Christianity (or against religious strictures in general) sort of cultural push that's been going on for quite a while.
Today's progressives are often more prudish than today's fascists are.
Just to follow up on my statement that the Trump insurrection of 2015-16 knocked the uptight corporate and religious conservatives out of the center on Breitbart. Well, there's more to it, though that's the gist.
Breitbart, for years, along with other sites, had struck a populist pose just like the Tea Party had around 2010, but all the populist rhetoric stayed with carefully constructed lines, to ensure people didn't start thinking things that went against the corporate and religious elites. So union bashing was good, and questioning right to work laws was bad, while the thought leaders of these sites offered a kind of false revolutionary populism.
When Trump ran, that model blew up. Yes, the Traditional Right has been trying to repair it or get it back to the extent that they can, and they still have a voice and power, but the overall trend now is decidedly against them on the Right. It's moving in the direction of a general distrust and hatred for the system to the extent that many on the right are mocking the police and military as enemies of the common people.
Also, I stated that postmodernism rejects the strictures imposed by both religion and the Enlightenment. Well, religion and the Enlightenment are at odds, since Enlightenment thinkers were very critical of religion, but they did agree on the need for morality. Both sides were moralists and universalists.
Postmodern movements however are anti-universalist and instead particularist and are either opposed to the idea of morality altogether (and are either anti-moral or amoral) or they are against traditional morality but highly moralistic in favor of another version (e.g. the BLM movement).
Basically, postmodernists, whether professors, antifa, BLM, Nazis, or just regular people with a lot of postmodern leanings, don't want to be told what to do, at least by the traditional authorities. Some are anti-authority altogether, and others hate traditional authority and want a new one or they want to be the authorities and impose their ways on others.
Hmm, a rich guy cheating on his wives? Well, that's forgivable, considering he's rich. A poor guy cheating? Might be a different matter.
On the topic of bad government, what's your take on the Uyghur situation in China? Is it as bad as the main stream media claims or just more neoliberal propaganda to maintain their current Cold War with China?
Is it as bad as the main stream media claims
or just more neoliberal propaganda to maintain their current Cold War with China?
Yes, although it's hard to get good information out of there.
Thanks Any good links?

These are two good articles:
https://time.com/5662653/democracy-history-latin-america/
https://www.neogaf.com/threads/coups-and-coup-attempts-in-latin-american-countries-are-mainly-a-rightwing-thing.1510438/
Why are Latin American societies so easy to subvert? An ongoing cycle of coups and corruption is only possible when the populace embraces the underlying justifications for it. Colonialism in these countries was mainly via Spain and Portugal, both of which strongly believed in a unified religious-political government.
Unlike territories colonized by the English and French in N. America, these nations did not begin to distinguish between State power and Religious power until much later in the nation's history (if at all), making them far more susceptible to rightwing movements that took advantage of this blind spot.
So within this cultural environment, it would make sense that rightwing movements aiming to "reunify" the powers of State and Church would easily gain the support of the populace. The promise of a return to an age of moral government rule seems to be a recurring theme in these right-wing takeovers.
The majority of the people almost never support any of those rightwing coups down there. It's minority rule down there just like up here. The rich minority has the guns and the power, so they don't need majority support for anything. The coup regimes in Haiti since Aristide's departure have been opposed by 92% of the population. You think it matters?
Tom Phillips says:
A huge part of the problem in Latin America (as with Franco's Spain and Mussolini's Italy) is the power of Catholicism and the Catholic Church, a far more oppressive force and culturally backward influence than many of the other religions regularly castigated on this site.
There's a serious problem with the Catholic Church, I will acknowledge that.
Tom Phillips these are two good articles about the problems in Latin America. The first essay is a good explanation of the root cause of inequality in the region; it is about 30 pages but it is not too long of a read. http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download;jsessionid=6DFA35D07C11F71001C5B1999AFBEAFB?doi=10.1.1.565.1033&rep=rep1&type=pdf
The second article is shorter but it explains the old arguments of morality, Christianity, and the essential correctness of postcolonial racial and social stratification

Jamie set up Ayriel Classical with the intention of focusing upon a long term discography of chamber music, which remains at the heart of his music making. Over the nine years since he set up the highly successful Festival, a great deal of repertoire has been absorbed, honed and performed within this environment; Ayriel Classical aims to capture the spirit of these experiences and express that unique chemistry which derives from friendship and musical collaborations. All recordings take place up in North Yorkshire, within an atmosphere of relaxation and inspiration.


We have to go within, into the inner stillness. Patanjali said yoga is "stilling the waves of consciousness".
That knowledge was lost and forgotten in the dark ages except for a few who were highly advanced. Religion eventually became all outer rituals in the dark ages, even in India.
As soon as the sense organs begin to operate, that feeling reacts to the sensations coming in – feeling reacts from the very beginning and manifests as emotion, and we become completely body identified.
With these few words Paramahansa Yogananda gave us the essence of the whole teaching. We must go over the points again and again because the world will teach us things completely contrary to the teachings. Even though we are going upward in the Yuga cycle, still we live in a very dark world.
To those who think me near, I am near.
More and more we are advancing – and more and more he is here - we are drawing him near. Many people come to the monastics, and they testify of life-changing experiences they have had here. There was a woman who came to very first Convocation who was 80 years old – she was just beginning on the path. But Paramahansa Yogananda said, "She will reach the goal in this life – she will find God in this life."
In 1920 Paramahansa Yogananda came to America and in his very first lecture at the first Congress of Religions he said what the purpose of life is. And it is in the great scriptures, but none are as clear as the Indian scriptures because they came from the higher ages.
It is in "The Science of Religion" – it is there - but the world still doesn't know, and that is why the world is such a mess. So paste it on your bathroom mirror, because the world tells you, "Life has no meaning". We must make a conscious effort or we will waste our life. There is a saying in the Indian scriptures, "Know it now or after a thousand incarnations", meaning, do you want to come back time and time again and miss the purpose of life?
Don't seek fulfillment in the things of the world. Is there any other purpose? What else? Nothing. In 'Man's Eternal Quest', Paramahansa Yogananda says that man is on this earth to find God. He is here for no other purpose. But many people do not understand. They come to us and say, "But I can't just meditate. I have responsibilities – I have my work, I have my family." What they do not understand is - that too is spiritual discipline. Your work, your marriage, your family, your whole life – everything is spiritual discipline. Daya Mata said, "Sadhana means meditation and right activity", meaning you perform all your duties with the desire to please God.
The foundation of yoga is Yama/Niyama – the rules of right behaviour – living in harmony with the laws of God. You cannot go against the laws of God. But some members do not understand or do not want to understand.
Yoga is a recipe, and you must follow it exactly…. and you will get a cake.
Pranayama is energy control – to be still – until even the breath and heart are still. The energy operating in the senses must go back within. God does that for us every time we go to sleep – He turns the senses off and the energy goes inside. But it is unconscious passivity. Yoga is conscious passivity. With Kriya Yoga we are going inside and into the inner stillness. We use the techniques to help us do that – that's the first phase.
Then the other phase comes – and that is devotion. There is a very important reason for that. It is for our benefit, but it's not selfish.
That feeling of devotion is the purest of all feelings.
Our feeling is the most abused, even from the beginning when we are born and the sense organs begin to operate. That feeling is there right from the beginning of life - and feeling reacts to sensation. Even in a baby – when a baby is born the first thing the baby experiences is sensory experience. As soon as the sense organs begin to operate, that feeling reacts to the sensations coming in – feeling reacts from the very beginning and manifests as emotion, and we become completely body identified.
God is Infinite Bliss Consciousness.
Can we understand this? No, the mind cannot understand that – the mind cannot understand infinity – the mind is too limited.
God loves the personal relationship with his devotee. In order to feel devotion we must bring God down to a concept we can understand – this is very important. Enter the quiet heart, and choose a concept of God that rouses devotion in you – Father, Mother, Beloved, Friend – it's up to you.
And then there is another aspect: a great Rishi in a higher age in India said that if you can't think of the Absolute – and you can't until you are fully realized - then think of the form of an avatar. In my own personal sadhana I liked the idea of my guru as God – Paramahansa Yogananda is my "ishta", or concept of God.
Every once in a while God comes down as an avatar. The great avatars - Rama, Krishna, Buddha, Jesus, Patanjali, our line of Gurus – most people didn't recognize them. That's why in the Bible when Jesus is going away soon, Philip says to him, "Lord, show us the Father." And then Jesus says, "But Philip, I have been so long a time with you, and yet you have not known me? He that hath seen me hath seen the Father. I am in the Father, and the Father in me." This response is so human, because we cannot understand until after they are gone. The choice of an 'ishta' is wide open, whatever appeals to you. Work on developing ever deeper devotion, and as you grow that little concept will expand and become the infinite.
This is an allegory. The big dark forest is this world. The man is you and I. The three robbers are the three gunas, the three qualities.
The first robber is the dark guna – tamas – and it represents destruction and darkness, and it kills our spiritual life.
The second robber is rajas – it represents the selfish actions and desires which bind us to this material world.
The third robber is sattva – it represents the spiritual guna – the liberating quality.
That is why we have rules of living in harmony with God's laws. Practice the presence of God, because through every thought, every feeling, every action, one of those qualities manifests through you.
Laziness is darkness — tamasic.
Wrong actions bind us — rajasic.
Liberating thoughts, feelings and actions are liberating — sattvic.
In the dark age of Kali Yuga, the dark quality is predominant. In our current age, Dwapara Yuga, the binding quality is predominant. In the higher ages the liberating quality predominates. I read the newspaper a little bit just to keep up, but not much. Television, advertisements, movies – this is the bad guy, full of destruction and immorality. It is the binding guna.
We have to watch our actions. We have to watch what we let into our consciousness. We have to be very careful what activities we are choosing. If you are absorbing the wrong stuff, choosing the wrong stuff, you have the wrong guna – the guna which binds you to the material world. Most people are totally identified with "I" – that is the little selfish "I". If we are expressing anger or hatred – this is the dark guna. You may have doubts about yourself. The dark guna may try to convince you, "I'm not good enough." This is a denial of the divine image within you – don't do it! Once in a while inwardly say to God, "I do this for you." The moment you think that, you change gunas. Then you are in tune with the liberating guna.

Russian Exiles 1922
Russian émigré officers and their families at leisure - Serbia 1922.
Wars are less about destructive hardware or other imaginative ways of extermination – they're all about destroying the fabric of society and family ties. The Bolshevik Revolution and Russia's Civil War literally cast overboard several generations of educated people, and those who made it to safer havens were considered lucky to survive.
While Dr Zhivago's characters were fictitious, the real victims were millions – there were to be found on Turkish islands, on the pavements of the Balkan cities, in the libraries of Prague and European universities, most of them cherishing their dreams of reaching France, yet slowly dissolving into the societies of their new host countries. Hundreds of thousands of Russian émigrés settled down in 1919-1920 in Serbia and Bulgaria. In late 1921, in a few days only, 9330 Russian émigrés disembarked from 4 ships in the Bulgarian ports of Varna and Burgas.
Moscow's new rulers ruthlessly obliterated even the memories of their own educated exiles, shunning any reference of them that differed from the 'class enemy'. Few visual memories of the 'White Russians' have survived, mainly outside Russia and Ukraine.

What Happens If Colin Kaepernick Gets Signed?
WORDS: FRED SULLIVAN | ART: DONTE NEAL
"We who believe in freedom cannot rest."
On August 14, 2016, Colin Kaepernick, a quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers NFL franchise, sat down while the National Anthem was played before the commencement of this Pre-Season football game.
According to SBNation.com, he also sat for the August 20th game. Both silent protests went virtually unnoticed until a photo of Mr. Kaepernick keeping his seat during the playing of the National Anthem was posted on social media. After speaking with teammate Eric Reid and meeting with former NFL player and retired Army Green Beret Messrs. Reid, Kaepernick decided to kneel instead of sit through the national anthem as a more respectful way to protest police brutality and injustice. In the days, weeks, and months since those initial protests, he has been both celebrated and castigated for his protests—which he used to draw attention to and make statements against the systemic oppression of people of African descent in America through the structures that support police brutality, inequities in the justice system, and economic plunder. He has been joined by other NFL players in his protests and criticized by some existing and former players.
These perceptions have caused many fans to raise their voices in protest on social media, in public, and in boycott of the NFL.
The issue has ignited into a national conversation—bringing forth much debate on the role of the athlete, the role of the conscious consumer in boycott, and the status of the nation as it concerns black and brown people. It has also caused many to raise questions about why Mr. Kaepernick, who opted out of his contract with the 49ers and left the team to become a free agent, has not been signed by another NFL team. Many fans and pundits alike hold the belief that Mr. Kaepernick has demonstrated gameplay sufficient to be a player in the NFL, if not as a starter, definitely as a backup. Though he has had lackluster performances in the time since his early breakout seasons with the 49ers—which include a Super Bowl appearance—Mr. Kaepernick remains unsigned as of Week 4 of the 2017 season. What's more, several other quarterbacks that are of arguably lesser overall quality are playing and starting in the NFL. These perceptions have caused many fans to raise their voices in protest on social media, in public, and in boycott of the NFL. Their reasoning is that by voicing protest of America, he has been effectively banned from employment and prevented from protesting and playing NFL football.
Many people on our timelines and newsfeeds assert that he has a right to protest, and is right to protest, while also saying that there is a nefarious movement to silence him. Other players have taken the bold steps to support the cause he has raised awareness of in kneeling or sitting in silent protest when the Star Spangled Banner is played. The question is: What happens when Kaepernick is signed? Will all be forgiven? Will those of us who have supported his kneeling simply go back to the status quo? Will he continue to protest? Will the other players then stand?
As some NFL owners join players in demonstrations and in public criticism of the President, are they defending justice, or their "product"?
Have we entered the stage where the protest itself is the important thing, and not the underlying reasons for Kaepernick standing up through kneeling during the national anthem before football games? Like the long history of athletes using their platforms to protest injustice, this protest movement has captured the national attention. For many fans of the sport, especially those who have chosen not to attend games, or watch on television, we may have needed this integration of sport and justice. This disruption of the status quo has forced many to change their perception of consumption and focus on more pressing issues—other than fantasy performance. We must not fall into the trap of thinking the issue is whether or not Mr. Kaepernick, or any of the players who choose to protest as he has, is allowed to play football professionally in the NFL. Yes, Week 4 has officially begun. No, he hasn't been signed. But, remember the issues at the heart of the matter? They still exist. Society is loathed to return the ill-gotten gains of what Ta-Nehisi Coates refers to as plunder—the wrongs of the past have not been made right, and the injustices that continue are cause for this protest movement.
Now to further complicate the issue, the President Of The United States has used harsh language in his admonishment of Mr. Kaepernick and his allies protesting silently during the National Anthem before football games. Language that was more abrasive than his descriptions of the white supremacists at Charlottesville and the former Grand Dragon of the KKK, David Duke. As some NFL owners join players in demonstrations and in public criticism of the President, are they defending justice, or their "product"?
Mr. Kaepernick has made his choice by boldly claiming that the "freedom and justice for all" is a nice idea, but one that has not been fully realized in America, and he doesn't seem to be complaining about his lot speaking up for the liberation of people of African descent in America. He had to know that continuing his protests, and subsequently leaving the 49ers would have limited his employment options in the NFL. Professional sports, like many other segments of American society, don't take too kindly to people who tell a truth that troubles our notions of American greatness. In this age, that many believe is post-truth and post-racism, someone who criticizes the nation for its history of oppression, violence, and plunder, all while the mainstream pretends such never happened, is going to have the powers that be attempt to silence them. A contract to play football is not a victory in the struggle for liberation. Should Mr. Kaepernick play football in the NFL, the struggle for liberation will still continue on. Will we be so satisfied to see #7 return to the field that we forget why this enterprise was first started?
