Rudolf Petri (* 27. Mai 1915 in Bonn; † 5. November 1980 in Nouméa, Neukaledonien) war ein deutscher buddhistischer Mönch und Schriftsteller, Leiter des Ordens Arya Maitreya Mandala in Südvietnam und exponierter Esperantist.

Leben
Als überzeugter Gegner des Nationalsozialismus meldete sich Petri nach Hitlers Machtergreifung bei der französischen Fremdenlegion. Nach einer schweren Verwundung in Marokko lebte er in Frankreich. Von den deutschen Besatzern aufgegriffen, wurde er im Konzentrationslager Dachau inhaftiert. Nach der Entlassung gelang ihm die Flucht nach Schweden, wo er heiratete. Als seine Frau nach nur einem Ehejahr im Wochenbett starb, entschloss Petri sich, ein buddhistischer Mönch zu werden. Er wanderte als Bettelmönch durch Indien, wo er neben dem Buddhismus auch den Jainismus studierte.

In Indien begegnete Petri seinem Lehrer Lama Anagarika Govinda, von dem er am 21. November 1953 in den Orden Arya Maitreya Mandala aufgenommen wurde. Dieser Orden kennt zwar keinen Zölibat, lässt aber auch zölibatäre Mönche in seinen Reihen zu. Rudolf Petris Initiationsname war Anuruddha nach dem Verfasser der klassischen Schrift Abhidhammatthasangaha.

Petri ließ sich in Südvietnam nieder, wo er in Vũng Tàu 1969 den buddhistischen Tempel Arya Maitreya Vihara gründete. Der Tempel war Maitreya gewidmet. Von hier leitete er die südvietnamesische Ordensprovinz des Arya Maitreya Mandala und betreute "über Vietnam hinaus Mitglieder in Südasien, etwa Singapur." Für die Ausbildung von Ordenskandidaten etablierte er an seinem Tempel eine Akademie, die dem von Ernő Hetényi geleiteten Alexander Csoma de Koros Institute for Buddhology angeschlossen wurde.
In Vietnam entfaltete Petri eine umfangreiche Publikations- und Lehrtätigkeit. Darüber hinaus setzte er sich für politische und gesellschaftliche Freiheiten der Buddhisten in Vietnam ein.

1973, nach Ende des Vietnamkriegs wurde er von der Nationalen Front für die Befreiung Südvietnams für neun Monate inhaftiert. Nach seiner Haftentlassung trat er einen Erholungsurlaub in Deutschland an, um sich danach in den USA und Asien bis an sein Lebensende der Betreuung aus Vietnam geflohener Buddhisten zu widmen.

Einsatz gegen die Unterdrückung der Buddhisten
Als 1955 bis 1963 unter der Herrschaft des katholischen Nationalisten Ngô Đình Diệm der Buddhismus in Vietnam unterdrückt wurde, schickte man Petri, der durch seine deutsche Staatsbürgerschaft einen gewissen Schutz gegen Übergriffe Diệms genoss, mit einem Hilferuf in andere Länder Asiens, darunter zum indischen Ministerpräsidenten Jawaharlal Nehru: "Ein westdeutscher Mahāyāna-Mönch, Bhikṣu Anuruddha (Dr. R. Petri), wurde vom Sangha in Vietnam beauftragt, für die Sache der Buddhisten in Vietnam einzutreten. Er kam am 4. Juli 1963 nach Birma. Ende Juli übergab er in Indien Ministerpräsident Nehru ein Beglaubigungsschreiben der Buddhistischen Sangha-Vereinigung von Vietnam. Nehru berichtete ihm, daß Präsident Diêm auf seine dringenden Mahnungen, den Konflikt beizulegen, lakonisch geantwortet habe:

'Do not worry about the Vietnam Buddhist monks. They are Communists.' ['Sorgen Sie sich nicht um die vietnamesischen buddhistischen Mönche. Sie sind Kommunisten']

Nehru äußerte seine Befriedigung darüber, daß ihm Anuruddha die Unwahrheit dieser Behauptung Diêms bestätigen konnte."

Literarische Aktivitäten
Petri übersetzte zahlreiche buddhistische Texte ins Esperanto, weil er überzeugt war, dass dieser Plansprache eine große Zukunft beim weiteren Zusammenwachsen der Menschheit bevorsteht. Er war Präsident der "Budhana Ligo Esperantista", der Vereinigung buddhistischer Esperantisten, die er 1956 auf dem vierten buddhistischen Weltkongress in Kathmandu vertrat. Seine Bücher und Abhandlungen, die meist in englischer und vietnamesischer Sprache erschienen, umfassen zahlreiche Themen des Buddhismus und der Philosophie Indiens, Vietnams und Tibets. Von 1951 bis 1961 gab er die Zeitschrift La Dharmo heraus, in der Fachartikel über den Buddhismus in Esperanto veröffentlicht wurden. Petri war auch in der Schopenhauer-Gesellschaft aktiv.

Nairobi County Assembly clerk ejected from office, doors blockaded
By Collins Omulo November 6th, 2019 2 min read

A crisis looms at the Nairobi County Assembly with critical services facing total paralysis after MCAs kicked out county clerk Jacob Ngwele.
This comes after the ward representatives, in a motion of privilege on Tuesday, revoked the appointment of Mr Ngwele as the assembly's clerk on grounds of gross violation of Section 18(2) of the County Assembly Services Act.
City Hall to spend Sh500 million on governor's residence
Kenya Power disconnects power supply to City Hall
Nairobi County workers stage strike
City Hall to hire 500 kanjos
The clerk, who is the chief accounting officer of the assembly, is responsible for the day-to-day administration of the assembly and the action by the MCAs now risks grinding to a halt payment of salaries of county staff, the MCAs and ward office staff.
The mover of the motion, Nairobi West MCA Maurice Gari claimed that the name of the clerk was not tabled on the floor of the assembly for approval hence Mr Ngwele is in office illegally.
"Are you further aware that Section 18(2) of the County Assembly Services Act provides that the name of a person nominated by the Board for appointment as the clerk of the county assembly shall be submitted to the county assembly for approval in accordance with the Standing Orders of the assembly?" posed Mr Gari.
WOODEN PLANKS
The MCAs went on to blockade the office of the clerk by using wooden planks nailed at the entry into the office.
But now the clerk indicates that the action by the county legislators will likely see 140 assembly employees, 123 MCAs and over 300 ward office staff risk going without salaries as he cannot access his office to discharge duties pertaining to being the chief accounting officer of the assembly.
"The MCAs and the staff also risk going without medical cover as we had only one month grace period, which ends tomorrow (Thursday) to sort the issue," said Mr Ngwele.
He faulted his removal from office arguing that Sections 22 and 23 of the County Assembly Services Act provides grounds for his removal from office, of which none has been raised by the MCAs.
Mr Ngwele said gross misconduct or behavior, incompetence, bankruptcy and inability to perform the functions of the office are some of the grounds that can be advanced to eject him from office but not failure to be approved by the assembly as the clerk is not the assembly's employee but that of the Board.
"The law on the removal of a clerk is clear and there is already an order obtained by consent of both speaker and the board not to interfere with my contract until my petition is heard. The matter went to court and there was an order that I am legally in office but if they are in dispute they can go back to the same court," added Mr Ngwele.
A July, 2017 order by the Employment and Labour Relations Court – in a case pitting the clerk against the speaker Beatrice Elachi, the assembly and its board – declared Mr Ngwele to have been duly appointed as the clerk of the assembly under Section 13 of the County Government Act.
Mr Ngwele has not been seeing eye-to-eye with Speaker Elachi since her return, the same with the new board and a section of MCAs who have accused him of being behind the woes bedeviling the assembly.
Last month, Ms Elachi – as the chairperson of the Board – sent the clerk on a one-month compulsory leave on claims of sabotaging the assembly.
This came after Mr Ngwele had sued the speaker and the board a day before, obtaining orders barring his suspension and removal of other members of the assembly's service board.

Every Christian marriage has its ups and downs and when you think about marriage as a Christian it is important to look at the scriptures! In this episode, we will explore the Bible and look at the example of the marriage at Cana as well as all the places where God shows up in every day in our lives.
In changing water into wine at the wedding feast at Cana we look at it so many years later as the first time we see the Lord, Jesus performs a miracle. But in the gospel of John, he does not refer to it as a miracle, he calls it a sign. It was a sign that was performed in order to reveal God's presence in human history. What does this sign reveal? It reveals so many things personally to me. First, Jesus performed the miracle because his mother, Mary asked. I often wonder, did Mary realize this was a first in human history? Did she realize that in asking her Son to bless the water and in turn create wine that was the best the guests had tasted that it was the beginning of His public ministry? Did Jesus previously perform miracles at home with just Joseph and Mary as a witness? There are so many questions that are left unanswered.
I believe that Mary was given Divine grace, first in her ability to say yes to the angel, Gabrielle so many years ago. Then, in the way to raise Jesus. The only glimpse we are given into his childhood is when He is lost for three days and Mary and Joseph had to return to the temple and when they did, they found him among the elders teaching. Was this a time that Mary and Joseph had an argument? The men and women did not travel together so they both possibly thought the other had Jesus and then somehow learned he was not among them.
How did this family deal with adversity with the Savior of the world in their care?
This leads us to our own families and the conflicts that often arise. There is no one marriage manual that explains the differences between men and women so well that we understand our spouse completely. There is no manual to read before entering into a marriage that will solve all of your marriage issues because marriage is fluid. It changes. I am definitely not the same person I was when I said, "I do," many, many years ago. That person was used to getting her own way and compromise consisted of my husband saying he was sorry and next time he'd do it my way! Okay, I wasn't that horrible but you get the picture.
Marriage changes us and if we focus on God as a couple it will help us get through all of the tough times to come. Thankfully, we committed on our wedding day before God and our friends and family to put God first. If you have not committed your marriage to God consider doing that today! If you are not married remember the importance of this covenant with each other. We read about covenants in Scripture.
Isaiah uses wedding imagery (Isaiah 62:4-5) … "as a bridegroom rejoices in his bride," and the metaphor of marriage, "makes your land his spouse," which describes God's relationship with the land, no… with us, with humanity. God is united with humanity as we are united with a spouse in marriage. Scriptures often use words that we understand to describe that which we can not possibly understand.
A covenant and a bond is created various times throughout scripture. In Cana, Jesus transforms the water into wine. The water was used for ceremonial washings and the wine was used by the guests to celebrate the wedding. Again, common day symbols for an understanding at that time.
Wine is again used at the Last Supper, where it becomes His blood on the cross. Jesus drinks from the cup at the Last Supper, but on the cross, He says, "Father if it is possible let this cup pass me by." It was not possible and Jesus embraced the cross and His death. The cup of our salvation. Jesus is the bridegroom sent by God to humanity, which is His bride.
Just as Jesus lived life with challenges as God and as man, we too are called to live our lives as men and women.
We expect nations to get along and often cannot get along in our own families. These Scriptures show us the price paid for our salvation. We join in marriage as a covenant and a symbol to God and to the outward world of a promise. How does that promise get so messed up in our daily lives? Well, one is that we face so many pressures the minute we wake up!
How are you living a life that is pleasing to God?
If you live a life that is pleasing to God how will that help you in your marriage?
Thanking God each day for the gifts of life and all of the things that happen in your life is the first step to a long and happy marriage. Can you begin this today?
God is love, does that translate into your married life?
Looking at the word sacrifice is there any way you can sacrifice in your life or in your marriage more than God sacrificed for you?
Can you begin to put God first in your life?
Can you put your spouse and their needs above yours and after God?
What does dying to self mean to you?
Name one thing you can change beginning today?
Love is a sacrifice. The two cannot be taken apart. We believe that love conquers all things and it does to a certain extent but until I learned to die to self, which is one of those very hard life lessons, things did not get better. We serve a selfish God. He wants all of us, not the leftover self we give him for two seconds before we fall asleep at night.
If we want a wonderful marriage we must have a wonderful covenant with God. Begin today.
Dear Lord, I praise you for all things even those things I'd rather not be happy about in my life. I know that all things are known by You, still Lord I want to ask you specifically for ___________. Lord allow me to pray for those nearest to me daily. Let me be a prayer warrior for them, please call to mind instances when I should pray for them. Dear Lord, I praise You and I thank-you. You are the King of Kings and Lord of Lords and I am honored to serve such a mighty God. I thank you ahead of time for all the answered prayers and I pray this in Jesus Name, Amen.

Five phrases associated with the disaster are still in common use
1. And the band played on.
The image of the orchestra playing as the ship sank, symbolises heroic selflessness and courage. As a contemporary newspaper put it:
the part played by the orchestra on board the Titanic in her last dreadful moments will rank among the noblest in the annals of heroism at sea.
Lead by an English bandleader, thirty-three-year old Wallace Hartley, the string ensemble began playing on the upper deck soon after the Titanic struck the iceberg in order to calm the passengers.
What happened in the final stage of the sinking in early hours of April 1912 is impossible to verify. One survivor claimed that the band was playing a 19th Century hymn, Nearer My God to Thee as the last lifeboat sailed away.
Contemporary newspaper reports followed the advice given in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, 'when the legend becomes fact, print the legend'.
When Hartley's body was recovered two weeks after the disaster, newspapers it was reported that he was "fully dressed with his music case strapped to his body". This seems appropriate if wildly improbable. His violin did survive, fetching a record-breaking $1.6 million at auction in 2013.
Monument to Wallace Hartley, Colne, Lancashire. With thanks to Poliphilo for use of photo CC
Hartley's recovered violin sold at at auction in 2013 for $1.6 million — a record for an item Titanic memorabilia
'And the band played on' has been a favourite in newspaper headlines ever since. In 1987 it was the title of a best-selling account of the early history of HIV/AIDS by Randy Shilts. By this point, the phrase had obtained a harder edge to reflect more cynical times, with the 'band playing on' representing 'incompetence and apathy' rather than heroic stoicism.
2. The tip of the iceberg
Only 10% of an iceberg is visible above the surface of the water — the perfect metaphor for hidden danger. On the ship itself this took a deadly practical form. The lookouts did not spot the fatal hazard until it was too late for the ship to avoid it. In fact, attempting to escape a head-on collision caused an even worse outcome as the side of the ship sliced open, allowing each individual sealed cabin to be successively flooded.
Recent research suggests the phrase may have another resonance in relation to the — Titanic. One theory is that
'the ship crashed because the iceberg was disguised by an 'optical illusion — similar to the blur seen on a road during a warm day' source
3. Women and children first
It is often assumed that this convention emerged from a maritime code of practice. In fact the first recorded use of this phrase was in the novel Harrington: A True Story of Love by William O'Connor written in 1860. This became part of Victorian lore and was never a legal requirement or even an official recommendation. Nor, contrary to legend, was it the order given by Captain Edward Smith.
The instruction given by Captain Smith was 'put the women and children in and lower away'. Confusion over the precise meaning of this probably lead to avoidable fatalities.
Unfortunately for the men aboard the sinking ship, some of the officers misunderstood the order and prevented men from climbing aboard the lifeboats. The final casualties explain the cost of that misunderstanding: 74% of the women and 52% of the children were saved. Only 20% of the men survived. source
In recent years there has been a lot of emphasis on the social class element of the disaster. Were the first class passengers favoured over those travelling Second or Third? Again, contrary to myth, the evidence would suggest not.
The survival advantage of First Class passengers was due to the position of their cabins on the ship rather than selection bias. If anything, there was an overzealous application of the rules, resulting in the failure to fill all the lifeboats.
4. The unsinkable ship
Perhaps the most disputed phrase in maritime history. The owners and shipbuilders categorically deny that this claim was ever made. This may be technically true but the phrase was associated with the ship before she sailed.
Advertising material may have been important in creating the idea in the popular imagination. In a White Star Line brochure for Titanic and her sister ship, Olympic it is stated that the vessels were 'designed to be unsinkable'.
A White Star Line brochure mislead passengers
That phrase could be applied to any ship design, but many passengers assumed a literal interpretation. Thomas Beattie wrote to a family member, "We are changing ships and coming home in a new unsinkable boat."
In reality, the design of the Titanic made her catastrophically vulnerable in certain circumstances — see here. The only thing unsinkable about the Titanic has been its potency as an exemplar of hubris. Interestingly, the 'unsinkable' claim was transferred to one of the survivors — Molly Brown. She was strongly critical of the rescue operation and became so famous that a film musical was made of her life The Unsinkable Molly Brown (1964)
5. Rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic
Wasting time dealing with things that are not important while ignoring a much more serious problem (Cambridge English Dictionary)
Rearranging the deckchair — meaning to engage in irrelevant actions when confronted with a potential disaster first appeared in a 1969 Time article about Vatican reform. The writer acknowledged the image was metaphorical, something often been forgotten since. Serious mistakes were made in the Titanic evacuation but deckchair rearrangement did not form a part of it.

I grew up in an Irish family in west London


I've decided to start blogging about artists and musicians I've encountered during the week, the ones that I like and want to highlight, of course. So I'll aim to post these every friday.
The Belle Game, what can I say… When I listened to them for the first time, I felt that I found a treasure that is about to be found. They are current, authentic and their music is beautifully written. The production is really good and they are from Vancouver, Canada ;-) Really worth buying!
They were a surprise. I discovered them because they requested to become friends with me on MySpace. Their band name didn't appeal to me but every time that an artist wants to connect with me, I always go and have a listen to their work. Sometime I like, often I don't. There are a lot of artists who are talented but are let down by poor production. I'm glad that J Minus befriended me. The music is songful, the lyrics are heartfelt and the level of production is excellent. It is a must buy!
This one is from my friend ZigZag: Lafleur is a DJ, remixer and music-maker from Stockholm, Sweden. Her music is captivating and has a happy feeling to it. In her bio they say she can seduce any crowd into a musical bliss. I believe it! Must I say her music is feminine.
Beirut is an American band that I had never heard of before. The sound feels true and humble. It's musically rich and complex. What to say about the production beside that they were able to preserve the authenticity. Their sound reminds me of the song Golden Brown by the English rock band in the 70's The Stranglers. I definitely liked them and will buy their album. Merci Julie!

This Demonstration simulates a counterweight trebuchet and lets you change several parameters to optimize the shooting range.
A trebuchet is a medieval stone-throwing war engine. The projectile is inside a pouch hanging on a sling attached to the long end of a balancing beam. A heavy counterweight hangs on the short end of the beam.
Some medieval trebuchets had beams of up to 10 meters and could throw stones of 100 kg as far as 300 meters . The machine in this Demonstration has a beam of approximately 2 meters and can throw projectiles of 3 kg to a distance of up to 30 meters.
To maximize the shooting range, the most critical parameter is the angle of the sling when the projectile is released. This defines the moment when the pouch opens and the projectile takes off and follows its ballistic path.
are the lengths of the beam's long and short ends, the rope that holds the counterweight and the sling.
Drag, friction, and the weight of the beam are neglected in this Demonstration.
Solving these with the "EventLocator" method of NDSolve, we catch the sling when it is at the desired angle to release the projectile.

THIS LIGHT DATA IS DERIVED DIRECTLY FROM ETHERIC LINK-UPS WITH THE GREAT CENTRAL (COSMIC) RACE AND FROM INSIDE EARTH ALLIANCE INTEL!
THESE TRANSMISSIONS ARE TARGETED ONLY FOR UPPER 4-D RESONATE STARSEED BEINGS AND CANNOT BE DECODED FROM A 3D-MATRIX LEVEL!
RECENTLY, THE INTERGALACTIC CHIME RADIO TELESCOPE DETECTED NEW, RARE, LOW-FREQUENCY GAMMA BURSTS OF ENERGY EMANATING FROM 7 PRIMARY, SACRED SITES, NEAR THE GALACTIC CORE!
MAINSTREAM ASTRONOMERS ARE SPEAKING ABOUT THE HYPE AROUND THIS DISCOVERY AND ARE EAGERLY SEARCHING FOR AN EXPLANATION.
THESE GAMMA LIGHT BURSTS ARE SHOWING UP EVERY 24 HOURS OR SO ON THE EARTH'S SCHUMANN RESONANCE GRAPH!
INSIDE INTEL AND DIRECT CHANNELED DATA SHOWS THAT THESE BURSTS ARE ORIGINATING FROM THE GREAT CENTRAL SUN AND ARE BEING DEFLECTED TO EARTH BY INTELLIGENT BENEVOLENT BEINGS, FOR THE SPECIFIC PURPOSE OF RECODING YOUR DNA INTO A MORE ADVANCED STATE!
A FEW EARTH DAYS AGO, EARTH ALLIANCE MEMBERS REPORTED THE GRAND ARRIVAL OF THE ORIGINAL COSMIC RACE TO OUR QUADRANT OF THE MILKY WAY GALAXY!
THE PRIMARY PLASMA CRAFT THESE BEINGS ARE RIDING IS KNOWN AS THE PLEIADIAN FLAGSHIP AND IS 5 TIMES THE SIZE OF PLANET EARTH!
THERE ARE A NUMBER OF SMALLER PLEJAREN SHUTTLES TRAVELING BACK AND FORTH FROM EARTH THEN RETURNING TO THE MAIN SHIP!
THIS INCREDIBLE SHIP HAS BEEN TRANSMITTING ENCODED DATA TO THE PLANET SINCE IT ARRIVED AND CERTAIN EARTH ALLIANCE MEMBERS HAVE RECEIVED AND DECODED THIS DATA!
AS THIS GIANT CRAFT CAME IN CLOSE TO EARTH YESTERDAY, IT HAD AN INCREDIBLE EFFECT ON THE GRAVITATIONAL AND ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD AROUND THE PLANET!
THE POWERFUL FORCE OF THIS GIANT OBJECT IS BENDING THE MAGNETIC POLES OF EARTH AND PULLING THEM COMPLETELY OVER!
THIS STRONG MAGNETIC FORCE IS CREATING A STEADY DIMENSIONAL SHIFT FROM 4D INTO 5D!
EARTH ALLIANCE LEADERS FURTHER DETECTED AN INCOMING CODED TRANSMISSION DIRECTLY FROM THIS PRIMARY CRAFT!
AT EXACTLY 3:33AM EASTERN STANDARD TIME LAST NIGHT, STRANGE MARKINGS STARTED APPEARING ACROSS THE SCHUMANN RESONANCE GRAPH!
THIS EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL MESSAGE WAS DIRECTLY IMPRINTED AS AN ENERGETIC SIGNATURE ON THE SCHUMANN RESONANCE GRAPH!
SENZAR USES ENIGMATIC SYMBOLS AND GLYPHS MORE COMMONLY KNOWN AS LIGHT LANGUAGE OR ANGELIC LANGUAGE!
SENZAR, AS A LANGUAGE, WAS BROUGHT BY THE CENTRAL RACE TO EARTH EONS AGO.
WHY COMMUNICATE IN AN INTERGALACTIC MANNER, USING SENZAR OR LIGHT LANGUAGE?
IDEOGRAPHIC LANGUAGE CAN CONVEY A TREMENDOUSLY COMPLEX CONCEPT IN A SINGLE CHARACTER.
SENZAR IS A LANGUAGE THAT FLOWS BETWEEN ALPHABETIC CHARACTERS, MATHEMATICAL SYMBOLS, AND MUSICAL NOTES.
IT IS AN INTEGRATED LANGUAGE, SOMETIMES REFERRED TO AS THE UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE OF LIGHT, OR THE INSIGNIAS OF FIRST SOURCE.
SENZAR IS NOT ONLY A LANGUAGE CONSISTING OF WORDS, AND ONCE SPOKEN AS THE TONGUE OF THE ANCIENTS ALL OVER THE ORIENTAL AND ARCHAIC AMERICAN WORLD.
IT IS, LIKEWISE, A LANGUAGE OF SYMBOLS, OR A LANGUAGE GREATLY ADDICTED TO THE USE OF SYMBOLS.
SENZAR MEANS 'SENSOR' OR 'SENSING'!
SANSKRIT IS DERIVED FROM SENZAR AND SO IS THE CLAY SUMERIAN TABLETS!
ENOCHIAN LANGUAGE IS A DIRECT FORM OF WINGMAKER-PLEIADIAN SENZAR LANGUAGE!
CHEROKEE AND HOPI INDIANS, AMONG OTHER INDIGENOUS TRIBES THAT EMERGED FROM ATLANTIS, HAD INTIMATE CLOSE ENCOUNTERS WITH THE WINGMAKERS, WHO GAVE THEM THEIR SENZAR GLYPH LANGUAGE!
SENZAR LIGHT LANGUAGE ACTIVATES CODES OF KNOWLEDGE AND LIGHT, OPENING INDIVIDUAL CHAKRAS FOR HEALING AND TRANSFORMATION UPON THE PLANET.
THE SOUND AND SHAPES AND COLORS ACTIVATE YOUR HIGHER SELF THROUGH THE OCTAVES OF HARMONIC PULSING, A FREQUENCY OF LIGHT THAT IS HELD WITHIN YOUR DNA LIGHT BODIES.
THESE ANGELIC CODES OF LIGHT WERE PLACED HERE BY YOU IN ADVANCE, TO SERVE AS TRIGGERS TO AWAKEN YOUR SOUL AT JUST THE RIGHT MOMENT, AND TO DRAW YOU CLOSER TO THE GRAND PORTAL!
WHAT DOES THE ENCODED GLYPH MESSAGE LEFT FOR US SAY?
THE HUMANS OF EARTH HAVE ALL LOST THEIR WAY AND THEY ARE GOING TO BECOME EXTINCT IF WE DO NOT ASSIST!
HUMAN TECHNOLOGY, 3D MATRIX DISTRACTIONS AND ENDLESS SLAVE LABOR, ALONG WITH POISONS HERE ON EARTH IS CONSUMING ALL OF THEM!
THEY ARE QUICKLY BECOMING MACHINE-LIKE ZOMBIES WHO WILL SOON BECOME EXTINCT WITHOUT HIGHER INTERVENTION!
WE ARE THE GREAT CENTRAL RACE!
WE ARE THE ELOHIM OF THE BIBLE!
WE ARE THE PRIME ARCHANGELS!
WE ARE THE COLORED RAINBOW RAYS AND THE 7 TRIBES OF LIGHT!
WE ORIGINATE FROM THE PLEIADES STAR CLUSTER IN THE 5TH DIMENSION!
WE CAME TO BRING LIGHT INTO THIS DARK WORLD!
WE CAME TO HEAL THE SOULS OF THE BEINGS OF EARTH AND TO RETURN THEM TO THEIR ORIGINAL NATURAL STATE!
AND THEN, LATER, YOU WILL BRING ALL EARTH HUMANS THROUGH THE PORTAL!
THESE MAGNIFICENT BEINGS WERE THE ONES WHO ORIGINALLY SEEDED LIFE UPON EARTH, AND FACILITATED LIFE'S EVOLUTIONARY LEAPS AND BIOLOGICAL TRANSFORMATIONS!
THEY BROUGHT A "LIBRARY OF GENETIC CODES" HERE IN THE PAST THAT, THROUGH EXPERIMENTATION, PRODUCED THE HUMAN SPECIES, BUT ALSO MOST OTHER LIFE FORMS ON EARTH.
THE CENTRAL RACE IS THE MOST ANCIENT IN THE UNIVERSE, AS THEY ARE THE FIRST, ORIGINAL BEINGS CREATED BY GOD (FIRST SOURCE).
THIS RACE OF BEINGS WERE CREATED SEQUENTIALLY — IN SEVEN STAGES — BASED ON SEVEN DISTINCT ARCHETYPAL QUALITIES OF FIRST SOURCE. CONSEQUENTLY, THE CENTRAL RACE CONSISTS OF SEVEN FAMILIES, KNOWN AS THE TRIBES OF LIGHT.
THE RADIANT BEINGS OF THE CENTRAL RACE ARE ETERNAL SOULS WHO INHABIT REFINED BODIES MADE OF PURE LIGHT — THEY ARE THE CHILDREN OF GOD — "GOD FRAGMENTS" YOU MIGHT SAY.
THEY ARE FIRST-GENERATION, SOULFUL EMBODIMENTS OF FIRST SOURCE ITSELF, AND ARE LIVING BEACONS OF LOVE, LIGHT, WISDOM AND POWER. USING YOUR IMAGINATION THEY MAY APPEAR AS LUMINOUS, HOLOGRAPHIC, LIGHT-FILLED ENTITIES … THE LIGHT STREAMING FROM THEM IN SMOOTH, PULSATING WAVES OF UNFATHOMABLE SPLENDOR.
THE TRIBES OF LIGHT HAVE BEEN RECORDED IN THE STORIES OF EARTH BY THE NAMES ELOHIM, THE ANGELIC HOSTS AND/OR THE SHINING ONES.
THESE LUMINOUS ENTITIES APPEAR TO US AS BEING GODS, BUT THEY ARE ACTUALLY US — THEY ARE OUR PAST AND FUTURE SELVES.
THE NATIVE HOMES OF THE CENTRAL RACE FAMILIES ARE THE CENTRAL-MOST GALAXIES IN THE UNIVERSE AND BARELY IN THE REALMS OF TIME AND SPACE.
THESE SPECTACULAR PLACES HAVE BEEN HINTED AT BY THE GREATEST MYSTICS TO EVER GRACE THE EARTH, TO BE REALMS OF INCOMPREHENSIBLE BEAUTY, HARMONIC COSMIC SYMPHONIES, AND SATURATED WITH INFINITE LOVE THROUGH AND THROUGH.
THE CENTRAL RACE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE EVOLUTIONARY PROGRESS OF THE HUMAN SPECIES, WHEREVER IT APPEARS THROUGHOUT THE SUPER UNIVERSE.
THEY EXPERIMENTED WITH AND CUSTOMIZED THE DNA THAT MAKES THE "HUMAN VEHICLE" OR "SOUL CARRIER" THAT WE ARE FAMILIAR WITH (OUR BODY, MIND AND EMOTIONS THAT OPERATES AS A UNIFIED WHOLE).
A TEMPLATE OF THAT DESIGN IS EXPORTED TO PLANETS SUITABLE FOR HUMAN LIFE. THERE, THE GENETIC SEEDS ARE SOWN AND THE HUMAN EVOLUTIONARY PROCESS BEGINS.
THE SOUL CARRIER ADAPTS AND GROWS WITH THE LIFE FORMS, ECOSYSTEMS AND CONDITIONS OF ITS PLANET. HENCE, SOUL CARRIERS PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR MEMBERS OF THE CENTRAL RACE, TO SEND PARTS OF THEIR SOUL'S AWARENESS OUT TO EXPLORE THE DISTANT EDGES OF THE SUPER UNIVERSE THAT THEY INHABIT.
IN THIS WAY, SOUL CARRIERS ARE OCCUPIED BY CONSCIOUS SOUL FRAGMENTS — THROUGHOUT THE GRAND UNIVERSE.
SOUL CARRIERS ARE TEMPORARY VEHICLES THAT ARE BORN, GROW, HAVE A LIFE AND THEN PASS AWAY, AND THE ETERNAL SOUL USES REINCARNATION TO MIGRATE FROM BODY TO BODY, TO CONTINUE ITS EXPLORATION OF CREATION.
HAVE BEEN COMMUNICATING WITH HUMANS FOR APPROXIMATELY 11,000 YEARS, PREPARING THEM FOR THE DISCOVERY OF THE GRAND PORTAL.
THEY ARE QUITE CAPABLE OF CONTACTING PEOPLE WITH OR WITHOUT AN INTERVENING TECHNOLOGY.
YOU WILL KNOW THEM BY THE BALANCE THEY EXHIBIT BETWEEN ART, SCIENCE, AND PHILOSOPHY, AS WELL AS EMOTIONS, MIND, AND SOUL.
THEIR MESSAGES ARE ENCODED SENSORY DATA STREAMS FROM AN EXTRATERRESTRIAL TEACHING ORDER, THAT HAVE A VERY SPECIFIC PURPOSE.
THE WINGMAKERS MATERIALS PRODUCE VIBRATIONS (LIGHT AND SOUND) THAT "MINGLE" AT THE SUBATOMIC LEVELS, AND ARE CAPABLE OF SHIFTING PREDISPOSITIONS HELD WITHIN THE DNA CLUSTERS THAT GOVERN SPIRITUAL WILL.
IN THIS CASE, THE DETERMINATION TO SCULPT TIME INTO SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE — NOT SIMPLY PHYSICAL OR MATERIAL EXPERIENCE.
THEY ARE PARTICULARLY FOCUSED ON TRAINING AND SUPPORTING INDIVIDUALS STATIONED ON EARTH WHO ARE INSTRUMENTAL TO THE DISCOVERY OF THE GRAND PORTAL.
THE GRAND PORTAL IS THE TERM USED BY THE GREAT CENTRAL RACE AND REFERS TO THE IRREFUTABLE SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY OF THE HUMAN SOUL — AN ACTUAL EVENT THAT AWAITS HUMANITY.
THOUGH THE GRAND PORTAL IS THE DISCOVERY OF THE HUMAN SOUL, IT IS ALSO A LITERAL EVENT AND THE OPENING OF A STARGATE OUT OF THE 3D AND 4D MATRIX!
AND ALL THE FORCES OF LIGHT FROM THE SUPER-UNIVERSE HAVE ARRIVED HERE AND ARE WORKING TO BRING ENOUGH GAMMA LIGHT TO EARTH TO OPEN THIS GATE!
THIS GRAND PORTAL EVENT IS THE TRUE BEGINNING OF THE GOLDEN AGE AND IT IS IMMINENT, BUT FIRST ONLY FOR THE UPPER 4D STAR-SEEDS STATIONED ON EARTH AT THIS TIME!
HUMANS WILL COME THROUGH THE GRAND PORTAL LATER AND YOUR JOB WILL BE TO ASSIST THEM IN THIS ENDEAVOR!
AND SIGNIFIES THE END OF THE KALI YUGA!
"HUMANS NEED TO BE ABLE TO, AS A GROUP, TO REALIZE THEY ARE SPIRITUAL BEINGS, TRAPPED IN A 3RD DIMENSION / REINCARNATION DENSITY, WHICH ONLY EXISTS BECAUSE A NEFARIOUS BEING CREATED IT, AND THAT SCIENCE AND RELIGION NEED TO MERGE INTO ONE, FOR THEM TO BREAK THE "SPELL".
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE GRAND PORTAL EVENT?
THIS NEW SCIENCE IS AN ALL-ENCOMPASSING SYSTEM THAT IS CAPABLE OF RESTORING HEALTH AND BALANCE TO THE PHYSICAL, EMOTIONAL, AND MENTAL DYSFUNCTIONS OF AN INDIVIDUAL, AS WELL AS THE ENTIRE HUMAN FAMILY.
THE BELIEF SYSTEMS UPON EARTH WILL UNDERGO CALAMITOUS CHANGE FOLLOWING THE DISCOVERY OF THE GRAND PORTAL, AS THE NEW SCIENCES BEGIN TO DRAMATICALLY RESTRUCTURE SOCIETIES AROUND THE GLOBE.
ALL INSTITUTIONS OF SCIENCE, RELIGION, EDUCATION, GOVERNMENT AND CULTURE WILL BE REFORMATTED TO EMBRACE THE SCIENCE OF MULTIDIMENSIONAL REALITIES AS THE CORE KNOWLEDGE UPON WHICH THEY ARE BASED.
GOVERNMENTS WILL BE OBLIGED TO RESTRUCTURE THEIR POLITICAL SYSTEMS TO ALLOW FOR THE INTEGRATION OF THE NEW SYSTEMS OF KNOWLEDGE, SPECIFICALLY TO INCORPORATE THE WIDESPREAD UNDERSTANDING OF THE MULTIDIMENSIONAL UNIVERSE AND THE EXTENDED BROTHERHOOD OF INTELLIGENT BEINGS THAT LIVE HEREIN.
SOCIAL INSTITUTIONS RELATED TO TRADE WILL BE RE-ENGINEERED TO SUPPORT THE TECHNOLOGIES THAT ARISE FROM THE DISCOVERY OF THE GRAND PORTAL.
THESE NEW TECHNOLOGIES WILL DRAMATICALLY ALTER THE WAY OF LIFE ON THE ENTIRE PLANET, AND WILL HELP HUMANITY TO BE LOVING, BENEVOLENT SHEPHERDS OF THE NEW EARTH.
FOLLOWING THE GRAND PORTAL, THE SPECIES IS ALLOWED TO OPERATE INTER-DIMENSIONALLY AS A COLLECTIVE FORCE.
THE QUARANTINE OF EARTH'S HUMANITY FROM THE REST OF THE COSMIC COMMUNITY WILL BE LIFTED FOR THE ENTIRE SPECIES.
THROUGH THIS NETWORK, THE SPECIES ESTABLISHES LINES OF COMMUNICATION WITH OTHER SPECIES THAT HAVE PREVIOUSLY GAINED ACCESS TO THE NETWORK.
IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR HUMANITY TO ACHIEVE SUCH A LEVEL WITHOUT AN ENLIGHTENED AWARENESS THAT RECOGNIZES THE INHERENT UNITY AND ONENESS OF ALL LIFE, WHICH IS THE CORE NATURE OF THE SOUL, ITSELF.
WHEN ENOUGH PEOPLE RESONATE WITH THIS REALIZATION, HUMANITY AT LARGE WILL BE PERMITTED PARTICIPATION IN THE SOVEREIGN INTEGRAL NETWORK!
THE GRAND PORTAL WILL USHER IN A NEW AWARENESS THAT WILL ENABLE THE HUMAN FAMILY TO SHIFT FROM A SURVIVAL-BASED, MIND-BODY ENERGY SYSTEM, TO AN EXPLORATORY-BASED, MIND-SOUL ENERGY SYSTEM.
THIS EXPLORATORY ENERGY SYSTEM WILL MANIFEST THE BELIEF SYSTEM OF THE SOVEREIGN INTEGRAL — AND USHER IN THE GOLDEN AGE LONG PROPHESIED.
THE GRAND PORTAL IS THE PRIME ACHIEVEMENT THAT AWAITS HUMANITY IN THE COMING MONTHS.
STAR-SEEDS WILL TRAVEL THROUGH THIS 40-HERTZ MULTI-DIMENSIONAL PORTAL SOON NOW, AND WILL ASSIST ALL OF HUMANITY IN FINDING THEIR WAY BACK HOME SOON AFTER!
THE OLD MATRIX IS RAPIDLY MOVING INTO A STATE OF IRREVERSIBLE CHAOS AND THE ONLY WAY OUT IS THROUGH THE GRAND PORTAL!
YOU ARE WALKING BETWEEN WORLDS AS THE GROUND COLLAPSES BEHIND YOU AND CANNOT GO BACKWARDS!
ADVANCED ANGELIC BENEVOLENT BEINGS HAVE RETURNED TO EARTH TO ASSIST YOU, AND THIS IS FIRST CONTACT WITH YOUR HIGHER SELF!
THOUGH THIS FIRST CONTACT IS CURRENTLY MOVING FROM AN ETHERIC STATE TO A PHYSICAL STATE, IT IS THE FIRST TRUE CONTACT WITH AN ET RACE!
THEY HAVE RETURNED TO OPEN A MAGNIFICENT STARGATE CALLED THE GRAND PORTAL, FOR BEINGS TO MOVE INTO THE FIFTH DIMENSION AND HEAVEN ON EARTH!
WHEN WILL THIS GREAT EVENT HAPPEN?
IT IS IN FACT ALREADY HAPPENING. IT MOVED INTO HIGH GEAR ON 11TH OF NOVEMBER, 2018, AND WILL RISE TO ITS APEX NEAR THE SPRING EQUINOX OF 2019.
THE GRAND SOLAR FLASH IS ALSO UNDERWAY. THIS HAS BEEN BUILDING UP FOR THREE MONTHS NOW AND IT IS NOT TO BE JUST A QUICK ONE-MINUTE OR ONE-HOUR EVENT!
IT IS BEST TO THINK OF IT AS A SERIES OF PLASMA LIGHT WAVES, RATHER THAN A FLASH.
FLASH OF WHITE MAGNETIC IONIZED PLASMA LIGHT.
THIS GRAND SOLAR FLASH ORIGINATES FROM THE CENTRAL SUN AT THE GALACTIC CORE.
THINK OF THIS WHOLE PROCESS AS SIMILAR TO A GALACTIC-SIZED SUPER CAPACITOR CHARGING UP AND THEN RELEASING.
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THE LIGHT FORCES ARE SETTING IN MOTION. THEY ARE PRESENTLY CHARGING UP THE SUN WITH "SUPER PLASMA" AND WILL THEN RELEASE THE CHARGE WHEN IT REACHES MAXIMUM EFFECTIVE LEVELS.
THE FINAL CENTRAL-SUN DISCHARGE WILL CAUSE A COMPLETE AND SUSTAINED 40 HERTZ GAMMA WHITE-OUT AROUND PLANET EARTH.
THIS GRAND FINAL PLASMA DISCHARGE IS SET TO OCCUR NEAR THE EQUINOX ON THE 21ST OF MARCH, 2019.
THE GREAT CENTRAL RACE OF THE UNIVERSE HAS JUST ARRIVED IN OUR SOLAR SYSTEM, DEAR ONES!
BY UNANIMOUS CONSENSUS OF THE 7 TRIBES OF LIGHT, THEY ARE INTERVENING IN THE AFFAIRS OF PLANET EARTH, FOR THE SAKE OF SAVING THE BEINGS HERE FROM THEIR OWN CERTAIN DESTRUCTION!
THIS SPECIAL MISSION TO EARTH WILL QUICKLY MOVE INTO ITS FINAL STAGES NOW!
AND WILL BE ONE OF THE MOST MAGNIFICENT EVENTS EVER EXPERIENCED ON EARTH!
THE MARCH EQUINOX MULTIDIMENSIONAL SOLAR FLASH PORTAL WILL THUS ALLOW HIGH-VIBRATIONAL GAMMA-LIGHT-DATA TO POUR INTO THE EARTH AND INTO YOUR AURIC FIELDS, WHERE IT WILL BE CARRIED AT ONCE INTO YOUR DNA.
YOUR CELLS WILL BE INSTANTLY RE-CODED TO A HIGHER ORDER AND YOUR BODIES WILL THEREFORE BE ABLE TO PROCESS A MUCH MORE ADVANCED LEVEL OF COSMIC DATA, AND WILL ALSO CAUSE YOUR SURROUNDING MATRIX REALITY TO MORPH INTO A HIGHER NEW EARTH / HEAVEN FREQUENCY.
MANY OF YOU KNOW DEEP WITHIN YOURSELVES THAT THIS GREAT TIME HAS TO COME.
WE HAVE DONE ALL WE CAN TO GIVE YOU AS MANY SIGNS OF THIS IN THE FORM OF "HOPE" AS POSSIBLE.
THINGS CAN NOT GO ON, AND WILL NOT, AS THEY HAVE DONE SO FAR ON EARTH, AND INDEED A MAJOR CHANGE IS NOW FINALLY COMING.
KNOW THAT WE ARE AKIN TO YOUR HIGHER SELVES AND THAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO FINALLY CONNECT OPENLY WITH US.
WE OURSELVES ARE SIMPLY A HIGHER VERSION OF YOU THAT HAVE COME BACK FROM WHAT YOU CALL YOUR "FUTURE" TO ASSIST YOU DURING THESE GREAT CHANGES.
WE ARE THE CELESTIAL ANGELS OF LOVE SPOKEN OF IN OLDEN TIMES, AND WE HAVE NOW DESCENDED DOWN AT THIS PERIOD OF CHANGE TO PLANET EARTH.
LET US NOW MAKE OUR FINAL PREPARATIONS FOR YOUR PLANET AND YOU AS GREAT LIGHT WORKERS, AS THE MARCH 2019 EQUINOX 5D GRAND PORTAL FULLY OPENS.
IT HAS FINALLY COME THE TIME FOR YOU TO RECEIVE YOUR UNIVERSAL REWARD, FOR ALL THAT YOU HAVE DONE AND FOR ALL THAT YOU HAVE ENDURED!
WE ARE THE GREAT FAMILY OF LIGHT!
WE ARE THE WINGMAKERS AND WE ARE THE GREAT PLEIADIANS!
GOD-SPEED AS YOUR GREAT MISSION TO EARTH NOW COMES TO ITS CLOSE!

Join us this coming Thursday 28th May at 1.00 pm SLT in the Orange Island Photo Gallery for an introduction to using Shadows in your Second Life art with Lordfly Digeridoo.
This session will be about getting shadows to work in Second Life and using them in your work. The first part will be a step by step tutorial for downloading the RC client to actually see shadows around your avatar. We will also discuss the many opportunities photographers now have to make their art more realistic.
Lordfly Digeridoo is a well known urban planner in Second Life, who has just made a machinima that shows how breathtaking the new shadow effects are.
You can also watch some of the works by Opensource Obscure: Experimental Realtime Shadows and Multiple Lights and Shadows and Projected Textures in Second Life.
Photo Sessions are events dedicated to help photographers share and collaborate. Orange Island and Koinup partner to make instructive classes for SL Photgraphers and especially the Second Life Comunity on Koinup.


It's November: Officially time to start putting some of your tools to bed and preparing your home for the cold months. Follow our winter-prep checklist.
A mower used at the end of the season needs to be emptied of fuel. First, drain or siphon the gas tank dry. If the gasoline you've been using in the mower over the summer has a fuel preservative, you can plan to store it until next spring or run it in your snow thrower. If the gasoline has not had a preservative added to it, you need to use up the gasoline as soon as possible. Allowing it to sit over the winter will cause the ethanol in the gasoline to separate and its other chemical components to degrade. It's also likely that condensation will form in the gas tank.
You should give your mower a thorough cleaning before the winter, too. Remove and sharpen the mower blade. Apply a light film of oil to it and reinstall it. Disconnect the spark plug lead, tip the mower over and clean the underside of the deck with a wire brush and a putty knife.
Remove the spark plug and spray a shot of oil into the cylinder. Pull the recoil handle several times to ensure that this film of oil is evenly distributed on the wall of the cylinder. Replace the spark plug with a new one.
Clean or replace the air filter. Wipe the top of the mower deck clean. Lubricate all exposed cable-movement points and pivot points using a good-quality spray lubricant. Change the mower's oil.
Finally, store the mower as far as practical from pool chemicals, cleaners, or fertilizers—anything that could cause corrosion if it spilled on the mower deck.
The procedure for storing a four-cycle string trimmer is identical to that for a mower, but remember to clean the string head and install new line.
For two-stroke string trimmers, things are a bit simpler. Run the machine dry; clean or replace the air filter. Clean and rewind the string head. Sharpen the string-cutting blade on the debris deflector.
If you rely on a chain saw for winter woodcutting, now's the time to give the saw a thorough cleaning, tune-up, and sharpening. Buy extra chain and, if you do a lot of cutting in frozen wood or in dirty winter conditions, consider buying a pro-grade bar with a replaceable nose sprocket. Check out our previous story for more information on winter woodcutting.
If past experience has taught you that you need to run your chain saw at a moment's notice to clear your driveway or remove storm damage, consider storing the saw with packaged fuel in the gas tank. One example is Stihl's MotoMix. This fuel consists of high-octane gasoline without ethanol. It's blended with premium two-stroke engine oil at a 50:1 ratio. Otherwise, mix up a fresh-batch of two-stroke fuel using the highest octane gasoline you can find and two-stroke engine oil that is blended with gasoline preservative/stabilizer.
If you didn't prepare your snow thrower for the rigors of winter, now's the time to give it a tuneup, following the identical procedure that you used on your lawnmower or string trimmer (if it's an older single-stage machine powered by a two-stroke engine). In the case of four-cycle engines, however, be sure to use a winter grade of engine oil.
Buy extra shear pins. The last thing you want to do is hit a fallen piece of a tree limb buried in the snow, snap a shear pin and put your snow thrower out of commission. Keep the pins where you can find them, preferably hanging on a magnetic tool strip above your workbench.
Lubricate all linkages. The chute crank and various operator levers can take a beating in extremely cold and wet conditions. Lubricate all pivot and wear points and thoroughly test that they move easily before putting the snow thrower into service.
Consider all other spare parts. You don't want to have a drive belt fly apart in the middle of clearing your driveway or a slide shoe grind a groove into it. Inspect these parts and be sure that any retaining bolts and clips and other parts are lubricated and turn freely, in case you need to bring the machine into the garage for a quick adjustment or repair.
Now's the time to give your snow shovel a quick once-over. If it has an aluminum wear strip that's loose, either tighten it, remove it, or replace the shovel. Take a file and clean up any ragged plastic or aluminum edges.
Snow-shovel blades are notorious for loosening in the handle socket. Remove the cheap little sheet-metal screw they installed at the factory and replace it with a larger screw.
Speaking of snow shoveling, the only thing more useful than a snow shovel is a square-edge No. 2 shovel (the kind you use for shoveling sand and gravel) and a round-edge version of the same tool (the kind you use for digging in dirt). Both of these can be lifesavers if you need to loosen up the berm formed by a passing snow plow at the end of the driveway, or if you have to chop through the snow and then move the remainder with your snow shovel. Grind or file away any ragged edges on the blade. If the blade is loose in the socket, re-rivet it. Yes, you can still buy shovel-handle rivets.
Apply fall fertilizer. This should be a high-nitrogen blend that contains extra potassium (that's the "K" in the fertilizer's NPK ratio listed on the bag). Potassium improves the grass's cold hardiness and, combined with nitrogen, it sets the stage for the grass to store carbohydrates over the winters so it can bounce back quickly in the spring. Rinse the fertilizer spreader out on the lawn, and be sure to sweep or blow fertilizer onto the lawn if it has fallen onto paved surfaces.
Stock up rock salt for routine ice-melting chores, but also buy some more expensive calcium-chloride pellets and save them for when conditions really get bad. These will melt ice at lower temperatures than rock salt; U.S. Salt Inc. says calcium chloride is effective all the way down to minus 25 F. Even if that's a bit of a stretch, its ice-melting prowess is well-known and worth the money for severe conditions.
We've said it before, and we'll say it again: Do repairs now and avoid disaster later. Have the boiler or furnace tuned, stock up on emergency supplies, and make any repairs that keep the house safe and weather-tight. Example: the last thing you want is a loose handrail on the front stoop when someone is making his way up icy steps . . . in the dark . . . with the wind blowing in his face. You get the idea.

Чемпионат СССР по конькобежному спорту в классическом многоборье (разг. — Первенство страны по конькам) среди женщин 1961 года прошёл 21—22 января в Куйбышеве, на обновлённом стадионе «Буревестник». В нём приняло участие 34 спортсменки. Чемпионкой стала Валентина Стенина, которая победила на двух дистанциях. Фактически это был национальный отбор на чемпионат мира 1961 года.

Рекорды

 На первенстве было установлено 4 рекорда катка, по одному на каждую дистанцию, что не удивительно, так как стадион впервые принимал такие соревнования.
 В первый день соревнований на дистанции 500 метров был установлен национальный юниорский рекорд.

November 13, 2017. DREAM. At a farmhouse in the country, I had gathered with other light workers. We were busy coordinating a task outside. Looking toward the horizon, I saw menacing, pitch-black storm clouds advancing rapidly across the plain. The huge tornadic storm filled the sky. Instantly alerted, I rushed everyone inside the small, white, wood-framed house. There was no other place to seek shelter in the exposed environment.
The storm, spawning multiple twisters, swept away everything in its path. To our horror, when it reached within a mile of the house, it suddenly transformed into a raging firestorm. From the heavens, massive sheets of fire rained upon the earth. Flaming whirlwinds gouged and scorched the land. The firestorm sped relentlessly toward us.
There was nothing for us to do but pray. We surrounded ourselves with a protective dome of Christ light.
Miraculously, the fierce whirlwinds abruptly stopped their onslaught just a few yards from our house . . . and then passed us by. The building was untouched. We had been spared!
In the calm aftermath, as the firestorm moved away, we went outside to survey the damage. Across the land, as far as the eye could see, there was devastation.
Interpretation: As with my recent dream of October 25th, transmutation advances across the Earth. The fires of purification will affect anyone and everyone. But in the midst of the storm, true safety lies in the protective white light of one's Christ Self.
The Latter-Day changes, both natural and man-made, are upon us. In this Battle of Armageddon within the soul of mankind, burn off the dross of the mortal self and be transformed into the golden I Am Self.
Beginning on November 25th, Mount Agung in Bali erupted for the first time in half a century. More than 70,000 people were forced to evacuate the danger zone as the volcano spewed massive clouds of ash in the following days.
On November 28th, North Korea tested another ICBM missile, the first since September, that achieved the highest trajectory and the longest flight yet, capable of reaching all U.S. cities if translated to a flattened trajectory. Tensions between the United States and North Korea have ratcheted up as a result.
Then, in early December, half a dozen wildfires exploded in Southern California, fanned by Santa Ana winds reaching at times hurricane force. Hundreds of homes and other structures have been destroyed, and more than 200,000 people have been evacuated out of harm's way. The devastating outbreak came on the heels of a swarm of deadly wildfires in October in Northern California. The 2017 fire season in California has been the most destructive on record.
In addition to the above, on December 6th, President Donald Trump recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and announced plans to relocate the U.S. Embassy there. The historic yet controversial announcement, which long had been promised by previous U.S. presidents but never carried out, sparked new tensions in the Mideast. Protests broke out in multiple countries. Gainsayers feared the move would disrupt prospects for peace between Israelis and Palestinians.
Virtually always, my dreams of catastrophes are meant to be interpreted symbolically, analyzing thought patterns in mass consciousness, or even within my own consciousness. Typically, disaster dreams represent transmutation and purification. Nevertheless, it is uncanny that subsequent outer events oftentimes mirror specific dream scenarios; for example, a dream of a tornado will precede an actual occurrence of such. In the case of my firestorm dream of November 13th, it is disconcerting to note that in early December horrendous firestorms erupted physically in Southern California.

Every now and then we have a chance to experience different varieties of tea. While on a trip to Mae Sai, the Thai Burmese border, we stopped off at the Choui Fong Tea Plantation in Chiang Rai.
The tea plantation is known for its high-quality oolong blends, winning the Oolong Tea Gold Prize from the World Green Tea Association in 2009.
In addition to oolong, the tea farm produces green tea, jasmine tea, and green tea powder. The tea leaves are hand-picked and processed on site.
The green teas are processed using the Chinese method, pan-frying to stop oxidation rather than steaming.
The green tea powder is best for baking, cooking, and mixing in drinks. It is not made from tencha leaves or harvested in the same way as matcha.
At the top of the plantation, there is a beautiful tea house that proudly serves all of their teas and is an excellent place to take photos.
We ordered their award-winning Jin Xuan Oolong Tea, and it was so delicious that we ended up buying a bag to take home!
The brewing instructions of the Choui Fong teas are similar to most Chinese teas.
Put about 2 tablespoons of loose tea into a tea pot.
Slowly pour hot water over the tea leaves, and then discard the water (this is to rinse the leaves).
Again, slowly pour hot water over the tea leaves and steep for about 1 minute.
Pour the tea into a glass. Enjoy! The same tea leaves can be brewed up to 5 times.
The tea plantation is located in northern Thailand about 15 miles north of Chiang Rai (150 miles north of Chiang Mai). Visiting hours are from 8:30 am – 5:30 pm everyday.
They welcome inquiries for wholesale and retail. See Choui Fong's website.

Star Wars: The Old Republic: Galactic Strongholds, simply known as Galactic Strongholds, is the third Digital Expansion for Star Wars: The Old Republic, and it was first officially announced on March 19, 2014 with an intended release to the general public in October 2014. It gives players the ability to purchase and customize in-game homes, or "strongholds", as well as guild capital ships.
At the beginning of the year, BioWare announced that they would be releasing two more expansions in 2014 after Galactic Starfighter, which was released in February. Galactic Strongholds was not confirmed or even hinted at during this time. Prior to the official announcement, Galactic Strongholds was teased as the "SSHP", or "Super Secret Housing Project". On one of the game's community live streams, the developers released a short teaser displaying a character walking through an apartment on Coruscant. Nothing else was said about the expansion until the official announcement on March 19.
Much like the release of Galactic Starfighter, there were a variety of benefits announced for subscribers and preferred access players. Subscribers and preferred access players were planned to be given early access to the expansion in June and July of 2014 respectively, with an official launch in August.
In April, it was announced that the expansion had been delayed. Subscribers and preferred access players were given new early access dates of August 19, and September 16. The full release was delayed to October 14, 2014. Along with early access, Subscribers will be given a free Nar Shaddaa apartment, a "Stronghold Label", and a Character title. Preferred players will be granted the label and the title, but without the free apartment. When the expansion is released to the public in October, they will only receive the title. When the expansion's delay was confirmed, additional content was also announced. Players will be able to purchase a stronghold on the planet of Tatooine, as well as use their guild ships to compete with other guilds for the control of a planet. Features inside strongholds will be expanded as well, allowing players to place pets, companions, and vehicles inside their homes as they please.

↑ Using information from the novel The Old Republic: Annihilation and Star Wars: The Old Republic: Knights of the Fallen Empire, the events of Game Updates 2.0 through 3.3 for Star Wars: The Old Republic can be placed in the time period between 3640 BBY and 3637 BBY. According to The Old Republic lead designer Charles Boyd (screenshot), the game's events can be assumed to occur in a timeline matching that of their real-time release. Therefore, the events of Game Update 2.9 and the Digital Expansion Galactic Strongholds can be placed in approximately 3638 BBY.

Wanderers To Host Barcelona
June 30, 2012 | By Chris Mann
Short URL: http://b-ac.es/d0c4f
FC Barcelona B
Bolton Wanderers have confirmed they will play host to FC Barcelona B on Friday 10th August, with kick-off at 20:00.
The pre-season friendly, which will take place at the Reebok Stadium, will be the Trotters' last game before the season opener at Burnley on August 18th and will present Owen Coyle's side with a tough challenge.
FC Barcelona B currently play in the second division of Spanish football and act as a feeder team for the senior side, with players such as Lionel Messi, Andres Iniesta, Xavi and Carles Puyol all coming through the ranks earlier in their careers.

On the grounds of Free Spirit Forest and Nature School, children duck and run in a squealing game of fox hunt with co-founder Matt Simpson before he slips away to feed the campfire. A gentle bear of a man with kind, playful eyes, he cups his hands to his thick black beard and calls, "Cawww! Cawww!"
At the sound of the crow, eight kids tumble together for morning circle. Bundled in layers and flushed from their post-drop-off play, each child in turn shares a thought of gratitude as the group calms and quiets. Matt sings the first notes of a woodsy tune and a few voices join, listening for familiar words.
Heading into the woods, children fan out across the field in a haphazard procession. Three girls hoist to their shoulders a comically large birch limb, sharing the cumbersome load. A younger boy, not yet tall enough to help with the carry, scoops up cast-aside backpacks, relishing this porter role he created for himself.
It's maple syrup season, and children check taps dotted through the forest. Working together to schlep the heavier buckets, they pour sap into the steaming boiler. Kids use flint and steel to start the campfire that will warm them all day, and Matt chats about the sugar streaming in the maple trees, flowing from leaves to roots and back again throughout the year. There's a hush while he reads a poetic book passage, describing finished maple syrup as "summer sunshine, flowing in golden streams to pool on our plates."
Someone spots a bird high in a tree, and they make note of its size, shape and colour. It's clearly a nuthatch, but Matt keeps its name under wraps for now. After snack, the children will consult guide books to identify the bird on their own.
What may appear to be a bunch of kids playing in the woods is in fact an intentional process of nurturing and educating children through play. It's not yet 10 a.m., and these already-filthy kids have practiced three of the school's core tenets: connection with self, connection with others, connection with nature.
Beginning in Scandinavia in the 1950s then eventually spreading to the U.K., the popularity of outdoor schools has risen and recently grown across Canada. Models differ for various programs, but at its core the movement is about children learning through first-hand experience, outside, with an emergent curriculum (sometimes referred to as child-led learning).
Free Spirit's non-profit private school is certified through Forest School Canada, whose professional learning programs focus on a child's "relationship to a place, through regular and repeated access to it, in the way that is most fitting to them: through play." Founded by Matt and his wife Kim in 2016, Free Spirit's school is well-established in the south Georgian Bay area with locations for ages 4-14 now at Wasaga Beach, Meaford and Highlands Nordic. But families interested in the concept certainly have no shortage of options, with at least seven outdoor schools dotted along the escarpment.
As the first outdoor school in the area, Red-tailed Hawk Forest School's founder Shannon Foley has seen her program evolve over the years. A board-certified teacher searching for a different path, Shannon discovered and completed the Forest School Canada Practitioners Course before pioneering her own school in 2015. Their nature-based board-certified education program follows the provincial curriculum with its now full-time JK–Grade 2 students, who spend the majority of their time in the woods.
Shannon and her team are passionate about connecting to nature through exploration, play and music, with lessons led by local musician Joanna Horning. Joanna and Red-tailed Hawk created the CD Little Tracks: Songs From the Forest, with melodies and lyrics co-written by students. The CD project is part of Joanna's hope that "We can create change and help heal our planet through music, and children falling in love with nature."
Opening just this past fall, Blue Mountain Wild School is the newest outdoor program established along the escarpment. Founder Jeff Barrett brings his extensive experience in outdoor education and adventure guiding to this leadership-focused private school for children from JK to Grade 6.
Eschewing the label "forest school" and its focus on play, Wild School instead begins with the Ontario curriculum, moving it outdoors and bringing it to life, while remaining true to the student-led, experiential concept of other outdoor schools. Their living curriculum is fluid, integrating multiple subjects into a single project: When older students discover a steep hill that's perfect for face-first penguin-sliding, the group discusses snow science, material selection, trajectory and speed, touching on historical sleds and their uses, then draws up plans for further exploration and sled-construction at next week's class.
"Our key objective is to inspire curiosity and a passion for learning," says Jeff. "We place a heavy focus on emotional intelligence, focusing on the whole student."
After more than two years of research and preparation, Hundred Acre Wood Forest Preschool opened in fall 2019 at The Woods at Kimbercote. A licensed non-profit early years child care provider, Hundred Acre Wood's focus for their little ones (18 months to 4 years) is on the natural world—inquiry-based learning using natural materials, with most programming taking place outside, year-round.
Board chair Kimberly Edwards co-founded the school after the birth of her first child, when "childcare wait lists were long and our options were limited," she says.
"I wanted to create childcare that matched our values of life being intricately connected to the natural world. Our children see what we value from a very early age and assume it is what should be valued, so they can turn to those values throughout life for resiliency, comfort, health."
The centre has taken great pains to extend its holistic approach to the food provided each day, creating relationships with local farms and grocers to source organic ingredients for home-cooked meals served fresh in the outdoor classroom.
Located on the same historic Kimbercote property, School in Nature is a local extension of Elephant Thoughts' international educational resources. Currently in its early stages, the school offers weekly outdoor programming focused on environmental stewardship, cultural diversity and inclusivity. A key principle to the program is its accessibility to every student, and the majority of programs are available free of charge to all.
With plans to go full-time in the near future, founder Jeremy Rhodes sees the growing centre as truly a school in nature, rather than an outdoor school. Its academics-forward curriculum will place its primary focus on global citizenship and exposure to cultural elements, taking learning into the woods and creating connections with members of the local and world-wide communities.
A passion for conservation spurred Sarah Ney to start Wildlings Camp four years ago. With a background in scientific field research and global work with children, her goal is to educate children about their power and their voice through science, nature and play: "Once they know more about wilderness, they're going to love it and want to protect it."
"Once they know more about wilderness, they're going to love it and want to protect it."
Recently expanding to weekly programming, Wildlings operates with the understanding that "kids know more than adults," and Sarah often reaches out to children and parents for input on their current interests, building curriculum around this feedback.
Sarah is passionate that "every kid deserves a chance to experience the forest," and sets aside a portion of each enrolment fee for a sponsorship fund. She credits nature with helping her through a difficult time in her life, and wants all children to have that same chance to "forget about hardships and just enjoy being a kid."
Carlin and Debbie Val were both teaching outdoor programs in the public school system when they discovered Forest Schools. Craving a more authentic and personal way to connect with their students, a tour of European schools in 2016 solidified their goals, and they returned home to establish their own At Last Forest School in Owen Sound.
Aspiring to teach 12 students that fall, they opened registration and within a number of weeks had 50 eager kids enrolled. Parents in outlying communities soon clamoured for programs closer to home, and to meet those needs At Last expanded to eight locations, from Kincardine to Orangeville.
"If I learn from someone who's passionate, I'm going to learn that much more…"
For Debbie, their Forest School is all about children getting out and doing. "Out here in the woods they can touch it, smell it—everything is so hands-on. They create their own knowledge, based on questions about what they're interested in the moment, not later when it comes up in the curriculum."
"Although it's child-directed, our teachers are kind of co-conspirators of play. A teacher might be interested in something—say they like to repair clothing, so they bring their repair kit. Naturally the kids are curious about what their teacher is doing. If they're interested enough, maybe it becomes a big part of their learning over the next few weeks. But if the interest isn't there, we follow what they're into at the time."
Debbie's thoughts about her many outdoor-education teachers holds true for the seven (and counting) outdoor schools in our area. "They're all so different and unique, but the things they share in common is passion for kids and passion for outdoors. If I learn from someone who's passionate about it, I'm going to learn that much more, and it's going to be that much more fun. Everyone can understand and relate to that."

Q: Manipulate VTK vertex fields I have a VTK file that contains several vertex fields, and I'd like to manipulate the view.
The objective is to show/hide all vertices whose field match a certain function.
For instance, if I have a temperature field, I'd like to show (all triangles) with T > -20, or even something useless like Sin[T*Norm[NormalVector]] < 0.5. However, I have no idea on how to achieve this, or how to even access one particular field in the VTK file.
Any hint is greatly appreciated!

A: As suggested in the comments, the current version of Mathematica (12.1.1) import functionality of VTK files seems restricted to legacy format files, and it appears to ignore field data.
Sample VTK file
Here's a simple example of a cube with scaler nodal data taken from here.
SetDirectory[NotebookDirectory[]]
writeScript[filename_, txt_] := Module[{file},
  file = OpenWrite[filename];
  WriteString[file, txt];
  Close[file]]

writeScript["cube.vtk", cubevtk]
SetEnvironment["TIMSVTK_FILE" -> "cube.vtk"]

We can use a post-processor (e.g., EnSight) to view the cube.VTK file and color it by the samples_scalars variable as shown in the following image.

Mathematica VTK import
The following code shows which elements Mathematica imports.
elems = ImportString[cubevtk, "Elements"];
data = {Text[#], ImportString[cubevtk, #]} & /@ elems;
Text@Grid[Prepend[data, {"Element", "Returned"}],
  Background -> {None, {Lighter[Yellow, .9], {White,
      Lighter[Blend[{Blue, Green}], .8]}}},
  Dividers -> {{Darker[Gray, .6], {Lighter[Gray, .5]},
     Darker[Gray, .6]}, {Darker[Gray, .6], Darker[Gray, .6], {False},
     Darker[Gray, .6]}}, Alignment -> {{Left, Right, {Left}}},
  Frame -> Darker[Gray, .6], ItemStyle -> 14,
  Spacings -> {Automatic, .8}]

Under PointData, where sample_scalars should exist, returns an empty brace. There may be a way to get Mathematica to import the scalar field, but I have not found it. Alternatively, one could use Mathematica interoperability capability and tap into one of the freely available Python libraries to extract the field data. I will show one such approach.
Approach using external Python libraries
It is fairly straightforward to install VTK and PyVista under the Anaconda Python distribution. PyVista provides a "pythonic" interface to several types of mesh formats.
Here's an approach that I threw together that works under Windows 10. It uses a Windows batch file, run_script.bat to activate the appropriate Anaconda environment and run a Python script. I chose to use environment variables to pass in the script name and arguments versus using command-line arguments in this example. The first Python script get_arr_names.py returns a list of the available arrays in the VTK file. The second Python script, get_arr_values.py, will write an output file of the scalar values based on the array name.

writeScript["get_arr_values.py", getarrvals];

First, we will get a list of the available array names. Of which, we see sample_scalars is available.
SetEnvironment["TIMS_SCRIPT" -> "get_arr_names.py"];
runScript[]["StandardOutput"]
(* "['sample_scalars', 'cell_scalars', 'cell_normals', \
'cellIds', 'faceAttributes']

Now, we can write sample_scalars to an output file and read into Mathematica.
(*Write sample_scalars to output file and read into MMA*)
SetEnvironment[{"TIMS_SCRIPT" -> "get_arr_values.py",
  "TIMS_ARRAY" -> "sample_scalars"}]
scalarfile = StringTrim@runScript[]["StandardOutput"];
scalarvals = Flatten@Import[scalarfile];
(*Read in vertex data*)
vertices = ImportString[cubevtk, "VertexData"];
{min, max} = MinMax@vertices;

We can create an interpolation function based on the VertexData and the sample_scalars. The image matches closely to what we obtained with EnSight.

mesh = ToElementMesh[vertices];
interp = ElementMeshInterpolation[{mesh}, scalarvals];
mr = MeshRegion@ToElementMesh[Cuboid[min {1, 1, 1}, max {1, 1, 1}]];

 interp[x, y, z], mr, {x, min, max}, {y, min, max}, {z, min,
  max}, Contours -> 17, ColorFunction -> "ThermometerColors"]
