A few years ago I did a past life regression with a woman with a good reputation. She also had a capacity to see into past lives and advised me of a past life as a Saint. Now this type of glorification is fairly common, so I asked God or the Universe for the truth to be revealed... I have had some visions but nothing I can claim as certain. I have certainly felt a priest inside of me my entire life, and it would explain how I ended up drawn to be in the presence of the enlightened David R Hawkins MD, and being selected to give healing blessings with the Sacred Relics of Shakyamuni Buddha and to host the 886th and final display of the Dalai Lama sponsored Buddha Relic Worldwide Tour in Sedona in Dec 2015, prior to the relics being brought to their permanent home in India.
A month ago a teenager walks into a small room in the basement of a church and there is one picture hanging on the wall. It is a picture of St John Bosco. (1815 to 1888). She emails me the picture and says she got a chill because he looked just like me. Ian Stevenson MD, 1918- 2007, was a psychiatrist at University of Virginia and studied 3000 cases of children who spontaneously recalled past lives. In about 1200 cases the past lives were factually validated. Stevenson advised that consistent facial features were often observed.
So I wanted to see if there was any similarity between what this dude did and what I have been doing. So far it seems the work was not only similar but almost identical. See the brief summary below. I have been resisting doing this work for several years, but with some more dedication and humility and help from above, perhaps one day people may benefit as much from this work as they did from that of St John Bosco.

Andrew's approach is centered on Love setting a high energy context where healing happens spontaneously, naturally.
In a study that documented the effectiveness of 28 treatments in a row, in 100% of cases the results could be considered miraculous with over 100 conditions and illnesses completely eliminated or significantly improved. Click here to see the study.
I will be starting 2 hour group healing workshops one day a week for cheap ($20) where peeps come to learn, heal or help others heal. I will start in Windsor but am willing to go wherever (London, Guelph, Toronto or wherever). If you or anyone you know can benefit please leave a comment, like or share from my FB post and I will let everyone know that expresses an interest when it starts. I am wiling to go wherever there seems to be the most genuine interest.


Blake and I love how much we can use technology to communicate and stay in touch with our families, even though we're spread all over the country. We're big fans of texting, calling, Skype, and FaceTime. We have set up private Facebook groups for each side of our family for even more communication options.
Another favorite things of ours is playing games online. Online games are really nothing new, but we've found a couple we particularly enjoy.
Our competitive game of choice is Ticket to Ride. We can set up a private table on Steam and up to five can play at a time. When I was in Utah in September, we played with most of my family. Blake played on his phone in Virginia. I was on my computer in Utah. My parents were a team on Dad's iPad. Mr. and Mrs. Brotherface were a team on Mom's desktop. Sadly, Mr. and Mrs. Sisterpants weren't able to join us that time, but we've played with them since. Since we had Blake on Skype on my dad's laptop, it was more like we were all together physically. Now that we've shown my side of the family how to play online, we're hoping to do it more often.
We often get to play with Blake's brother and sister-in-law, and those games can get mean. We played two rounds last Saturday and I won the first one. Blake, very kindly, helped me find an alternate route when my plan A failed and I paid him back by winning by one point because of the Longest Train card. He had been up by 9 until the last second. Sorry, sweetie!
I came in third on the second game because a certain brother-in-law purposefully disrupted my route just because he could and I never fully recovered. Fortunately, he came in 4th, which was my only consolation.
Cooperatively, we like playing Pandemic via Skype. Each side sets up a board, so you do have to have an actual copy of the game to be most effective. One side runs the master board and the other follows it so everyone can still see what's going on and still work together. We've lost more than we've won, but it's still fun to play together. We'd love to see how other cooperative games like Forbidden Island or Forbidden Desert work on Skype sometime. Cooperative games work well because you don't have to hide anything from the other players, so you can be fully transparent will running the two boards simultaneously.
If you're non-local and want to try one of these games with us, just let us know! If you are local, we'd love to set up an in person game time. We have a lot more options than just those two . . .
What are your favorite ways to keep in touch with your families and friends?
We use Skype to do story/song time with grandparents twice a week. Iddo learned the English alphabet song solely from listening to her Grandma Dennis sing it to her while she ate dinner every Tuesday because we only sing the Hebrew alphabet song at home. I love hearing Iddo recite lines from the books that Grandpa and Grandma Giles read to her. My sister and I turn on Skype once a week and talk while our kids play in the background and say hi to each other. Just because they are a full days drive apart and are in each other's company less than once a year doesn't mean the cousins can't know each other.

questionnaire suckler herd size region risk factors hardjo ireland leptospirosis
Herd-level risk factors associated with Leptospira Hardjo seroprevalence in Beef/Suckler herds in the Republic of Ireland (2012)
Abstract Background: The aim of the present study was to investigate risk factors for herd seropositivity to Leptospira Hardjo in Irish suckler herds. Herds were considered eligible for the study if they were unvaccinated and contained ≥ 9 breeding animals of beef breed which were ≥ 12 months of age. The country was divided into six regions using county boundaries. Herd and individual animal prevalence data were available from the results of a concurrent seroprevalence study. Herds were classified as either "Free from Infection" or "Infected" based on a minimum expected 40% within-herd prevalence. Questionnaires were posted to 320 farmers chosen randomly from 6 regions, encompassing 25 counties, of the Republic of Ireland. The questionnaire was designed to obtain information about vaccination; reproductive disease; breeding herd details; the presence of recognized risk factors from previous studies; and husbandry on each farm. Data collected from 128 eligible herds were subjected to statistical analysis. Results: Following the use of Pearson's Chi-Square Test, those variables associated with a herd being "infected" with a significance level of P < 0.2 were considered as candidates for multivariable logistic regression modelling. Breeding herd size was found to be a statistically significant risk factor after multivariable logistic regression. The odds of a herd being positive for leptospiral infection were 5.47 times higher (P = 0.032) in herds with 14 to 23 breeding animals compared with herds with ≤ 13 breeding animals, adjusting for Region, and 7.08 times higher (P = 0.033) in herds with 32.6 to 142 breeding animals. Conclusions: Breeding herd size was identified as a significant risk factor for leptospiral infection in Irish suckler herds, which was similar to findings of previous studies of leptospirosis in dairy herds.

I'm on team voting in polls with sub accounts.
Also, is it too much to ask for literally all of the above to be added?
In Topic: The Corrupted | CIS Invasion of NR-Held Kuat: CIS Victory!
Congrats to the CIS folks!
However, like I said. When new writers are being drawn to these bigger factions, as they clearly are through the conversations I've had with them, it's really difficult to get new writers. You can't do much without new writers coming in but you can't get new writers while they're being drawn to bigger factions.
This isn't even remotely true.
The TSE for example was built from the ashes of the One Sith. The TSE had it's very large memberbase there under Carnifex, all they had to do was write and write they did. The SJO was around at a time where there was only like four major factions and therefore also had a way easier time of it because all the major factions were a lot smaller. The only one of the big three that statement is accurate for is the CIS who managed to grow during the current period, and no I don't fault them for that.
I'll continue to argue that Chaos right now is completely focused on the main three factions and not the smaller three. It's not difficult to see.
He got to his feet, fingers closing around the jacket in his hand. He had felt the ship touch down in the hanger right as he started to fully comprehend what had happened to his destroyer, the ship that he had spent so long on. His biggest hope was that it was repairable, but they would need to get it back into a planetary orbit first. To do that, he knew that he would need to get to the bridge and attempt to get power back through the warship.
His fingers closed around the breathing mask. He clipped the canister to his belt, sliding on the jacket he had been given. The armour he had brought would have been good if they came across enemies raiding his ship. In the current situation, he had to agree that it wouldn't be useful. He run his hand through his hair one last time, closing his fingers around the DL-44 Blaster Pistol, inserting it into the holster on his thigh in one quick movement.
He followed the smuggler from the small steath craft.
It took a few seconds for Kei to do anything. He looked around, the wrecked fighters littering the hanger. Two bodies lay in the corner, two fighter engineers. Both of them looked badly burned, caught in a fire of some sort. Kei almost wished he recognised them so he could apologise to any family that they may have had. The fires had burned out a long time ago, leaving Kei to wonder how long the hull of the ship had been left drifting through space.
"Any survivors will have headed for the internal war bridge"
He was blunt, monotone. He wanted there to be survivors, he almost prayed for there to be survivors. He wanted someone to tell him what had happened to his ship, why his ship had massive gashes and holes and burn marks. He licked his lips, beginning his slow walk through the hanger. There was a lack of power on the ship, Kei was fully aware that the doors would be difficult to open as a consequence. He was also sure they'd figure it out.
"Too get into the internal war bridge, we need power. Means we need to get to the actual bridge"


Do You Know What Time It Is? Ninety-Nine Time!
It's about time for a new, fresh round of Ninety-Nine and it so does not disappoint – there's so much cuteness here that I almost couldn't handle it (because adorable stuff that is tiny is ALWAYS supercute). You've got to come check it out, get some stuff for the tiny ones in your lives, and make sure you check it all out, because there's a little for everything (and even some cute mother's day stuff!), just make sure to get here before it shuts it's doors on the 29th!

2) that the date format in that column is not in Short Date Format (example: 01/01/2010).
Double-check your file for any columns that may be tied to date type fields in SimplicityCollect (this includes stock fields and custom fields). Verify the formatting is correct, and that the dates are not placeholders or fake dates. This can sometimes happen with dates like 2/29/2000 or 0/0/1900. Once you've corrected your columns, re-import your file.
NOTE: If you check your file and your date fields are correct, OR you are not importing any date fields, the issue is often in the mapping. It is likely that another field is mapped to a date type field by accident. Double-check the fields you have mapped and remove any that may be incorrect before re-importing.

"The Internet-based Knowledge Acquisition and Management Method to Cons" by Hongmei Yan, Yingtao Jiang et al.
The Internet offers an unprecedented opportunity to construct powerful large-scale medical expert systems (MES). In these systems, a cost-effective medical knowledge acquisition (KA) and management scheme is highly desirable to handle the large quantities of, often conflicting, medical information collected from medical experts in different medical fields and from different geographical regions. In this paper, we demonstrate that a medical KA/management system can be built upon a three-tier distributed client/server architecture. The knowledge in the system is stored/managed in three knowledge bases. The maturity of the medical know-how controls the knowledge flow through these knowledge bases. In addition, to facilitate the knowledge representation and application in these knowledge bases as well as information retrieval across the Internet, an 8-digit numeric coding scheme with a weight value system is proposed. At present, a medical KA and management system based on the proposed method is being tested in clinics. Current results have showed that the method is a viable solution to construct, modify, and expand a distributed MES through the Internet.

Sleeping 2 people, double studio motel units are a great choice for small families, couples and business travellers.
When we checked in we could not believe the high standard and thought that had gone into making a stay in a holiday park so enjoyable. We had a motorhome that was completely self contained, however the facilities were so nice we did not use our camper (except for sleeping). They set the bar, I thought Top 10 were good but Kennedy Park resort takes the holiday park to another level. We have stayed in many campgrounds all across the north island and recently a Top 10 in Blenheim, but nothing compares to this place. You will not be disappointed.

The Changing Face of America's Workforce
By FBN on June 14, 2015 in Business
The aging of mainly Caucasian Americans born after World War II, along with an immigration increase in the racial and ethnic composition of the country, "have huge implications" for how employers "allocate resources and make decisions about education, training and hiring," according to a March Brookings Institution analysis.
"As Minnesota and the region go, so goes the nation, which is becoming ever more diversified, with an overall decline in the percentage of whites, and increase in people of color," states author Jennifer Bradley in "The Changing Face of the Heartland: Preparing America's Diverse Workforce for Tomorrow."
Immigration, long driving Minnesota's growth, has transformed for decades from Scandinavians and Germans to "a surprisingly wide array of countries and communities, and these more recent immigrants tend to be people of color rather than whites," Bradley explains. Minnesota, she reports, is home to a 21 percent share each of Southeast Asians and Africans, compared to the respective 10 percent and four percent of the total U.S. population.
The resulting educational and employment gaps between the races are significant, she notes, with 85 percent of whites in Minnesota graduating from high school on time in 2013, compared to 58 percent of Hispanics, 57 percent of blacks (U.S.-born and immigrants), and 49 percent of Native Americans. The Twin Cities of Minneapolis-St. Paul maintain the nation's largest employment gap among working-age whites (79 percent) compared to working-age people of color (65 percent).
Those distinctions, the study continues, point to a lack of action through the years to remedy the situation, which worsened during the Great Recession. While several organizations and grants fund educational and employment preparedness and opportunities for non-white residents, Bradley's work acknowledges that a more rapid pace of improvement is necessary to sustain Minnesota's growth, and likely that of the nation.
Five Long Range Forces
A study by the McKinsey Global Institute (MGI) in 2012 identified 40 million workers across the advanced economies of the world as being unemployed, while examining five long range forces influencing employment: technology and the changing nature of work, skill mismatches, geographic mismatches, untapped talent and disparity in income growth. Those five forces significantly impact incomes, especially among poorer individuals, who face low or declining levels of income growth and corresponding declines in living standards and social stability.
"In 2011, when U.S. employment exceeded nine percent, an MGI survey found that 30 percent of U.S. companies had positions open for more than six months that they could not fill…Despite rising educational attainment across most advanced economies, by 2020, the U.S. may have 1.5 million too few workers with college or graduate degrees and nearly six million too many who have not completed high school," MGI reports.
The "growing pools of underused talent" include older workers, women and youth, according to MGI, especially "young people who leave school without the skills they need to be hired or who never land an entry-level job where they can acquire skills suffer lifelong learning handicaps and are more likely to require social services."
In Flagstaff, census.gov reports 77.6 percent of the population under age 18 (20.6 percent), age 65+ (6.4 percent), or female (50.6 percent). Just more than 64 percent of the city's residents in 2010 were white alone (not Hispanic or Latino), 18.4 percent Hispanic or Latino, 11.7 percent American Indian or Alaska Native alone, 1.9 percent Asian alone, 1.9 percent black alone, and 3.6 percent two or more races.
Persons below the poverty level between 2009 and 2013 in Flagstaff totaled 24.6 percent, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, equaling 16,892 people in the total 2013 estimated population of 68,667. Median 2009-2013 household income was $49,771, representing the point at which half of all households were below and half above the referenced level. Federal poverty guidelines include individuals earning $11,770 a year and four-person households at $24,250 a year.
Post-Recession Uptick
In the aftermath of the Great Recession, Arizona business growth trudges along. Legislators speaking to a business audience last month in Prescott Valley identified an uptick, especially in sales of homes and cars.
Characterizing the economy at that session as "moving forward," Arizona District 1 Rep. Karen Fann praised Gov. Doug Ducey's efforts to improve the state's economy. The governor, she said, is "pro-economic development, pro-business" and working toward a "number one goal to put Arizona back on economic sound footing."
Agreeing that the economy is on a positive track, Arizona District 1 Sen. Steve Pierce lamented the pace, noting that it is "a little bit better than 2009 and 2010, but not like it should be. We are not where we want to be. The state is stretched for funds, just like you and me."
Employment Concentrations
In Flagstaff, the average hourly wage of $19.57, reported by the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics in May, is about 14 percent below the national average of $22.71. Of the 22 major occupational groups reported, only two – healthcare practitioner and food preparation/serving related, at $15.42 and $11.35 respectively ― exceeded the national average. Legal, management and computer and mathematical were among the 12 groups with wages paid significantly lower than the national average.
Jobs themselves in Flagstaff remain more highly concentrated than the national average in four of the occupational groups; most notably, food preparation and serving related, and life, physical and social science.
The state's focus on Career and Technical Education Centers (CTECs) and Joint Technical Education Districts (JTEDs) offers training and additional opportunities for careers not requiring a four-year degree, while the university sector continues to expand its offerings. The complexion of Flagstaff is changing, experts note, but not on the Minnesota-driven fast track. FBN

Arctic state, Arctic nation? Arctic national identity among the post-Cold War generation in Norway
Lookup NU author(s): Dr Ingrid A. MedbyORCiD
© 2014,Taylor & Francis. In Norway, the Arctic has taken centre stage as a primary political priority. Claiming status as an 'Arctic state' may not be controversial based on formal geographical and legal definitions; however, the way in which the Arctic has thus been incorporated in the public's sense of Norwegian national identity is less clear. Against the background of the Norwegian government's discursive construction of a national Arctic identity in its High North strategy, this study assesses the reception this official identity has received. Over 200 young Norwegians, having largely grown up in a post-Cold War world marked by rapidly changing Arctic climate and geopolitics, were asked about their sense of Arctic identity. Contrary to governmental efforts to frame the Arctic as a fundamentally national matter, the respondents' insights highlight the multifaceted nature of identities, as a sense of Arctic identity contextually shifts between sub-national, national and supranational scales. This study thus suggests a balancing act faced by states across the region as they seek to legitimize state-level primacy and national unity in the circumpolar North.

Q: Будильник под Android. Создание условия для отключения будильника Здравствуйте.
Я новичок в программировании под Android. Для колледжа необходимо внести некоторые изменения в проект.
В моей проекте, при срабатывании будильника, для его отключения, необходимо провести пальцем вниз. Необходимо изменить условия так, чтобы отключение будильника производилось после решения легкого математического примера(например 31+16=ввести ответ).
На layoute, которое вызывается при срабатывании будильника, я создал EditText и Button, для ввода, но не знаю какой код прописать. Очень много вариантов пробовал, либо никакой реакции, либо много ошибок.
Вот что содержится  в java файле:

A new 'Love Sussex' calendar campaign has been launched to provide vital funds for a children's hospice.
Evonprint, a Sussex print, design and marketing specialists, is today launching the campaign to help Chestnut Tree House children's hospice, near Arundel.
The family-run company is calling out to the county's residents and asking them to let them know what their favourite city, town or beauty spot in Sussex is.
Once all the suggestions are in, the top 12 favourite locations will be released and the next phase of the 'Love Sussex' calendar campaign revealed.

The deadline to put forward local suggestions is Sunday June 17 and all entries are to be emailed to lovesussex@pmwcom.co.uk or posted to Evonprint's Love Sussex Competition, c/o PMW Communications, Stane Court, Stane Street, Billingshurst, West Sussex RH14 9HP.


Republicans override the governor on the "big" bills of voter ID and relaxing gun regulations. See the Post-Dispatch article here.
Pull Quote: On a day dedicated to considering bills that were vetoed by Gov. Jay Nixon, a Democrat, the GOP used its wide majorities in the House and Senate to hand the governor and his Democratic allies two high-profile defeats as he winds down his political career.
What's Next for Gun Rights?
One of the hallmarks of the Republican majority for the past decade is to make incremental progress on issues of importance to their base. There's always a pro-life bill, a gun bill, a tax cut bill. It's an approach that moved the ball another five yard down the field. But now – with this gun bill – one wonders if they've finally scored a touchdown.
What's left to do? Start eliminating the restricted areas? Repeal a minister's right to say a church is off-limits to firearms? Child care centers? Courtrooms?
Inside the building, Republican legislative leaders are said to worry about how a governor Koster would differ in his engagement from Governor Jay Nixon.
Republicans generally grumble about Nixon's silence during session. For eight years they have had little to no idea where he is on any specific piece of legislative. Not knowing what provisions he finds problematic, they can't make compromises or negotiate. They only find out when he vetoes bills.
Chris Koster, on the other hand, would be expected to be more engaged. That'd be a welcome relief. However, they worry that he might be too engaged. He might be wooing Republicans, triangulating the base against more moderates and Democrats.
Nixon's practice of remaining isolated on the second floor has made it relatively easy for Republicans to remained unified in veto sessions. Koster might be "in people's offices, twisting arms" in the words of one legislator.
At 9AM today the Supreme Court is scheduled to hear: SC95924, Jim Boeving, Patty Arrowood, Robert E. Pund and Robert A. Klein v. Missouri Secretary of State Jason Kander and Raise Your Hand for Kids and Erin Brower v. State of Missouri, an appeal from Cole County involving a challenge to the certification and validity of an initiative petition. See summaries here.
The proponents' latest endorsement: Vote Yes on 3 for Kids, the diverse coalition supporting passage of the Early Childhood Health and Education Amendment this November, announced the latest in a steady stream of major endorsements. The St. Louis Regional Early Childhood Council (RECC) – a group that brings together nearly 500 child-serving organizations, funders, and businesses – strongly encourages the passage of Amendment 3.
Opponents of the effort were crowing yesterday that Rep. Kathy Swan had rescinded her support.
Jason Kander has a new full-minute ad out. See it here. "We won't change Washington until we change the people we send there." And then the echoes of JFK's classic inaugural speech… "It's time for a new generation of leaders who have come of age at a time of unprecedented challenges…" The ad works.
And Team Kander announced the endorsement of a St. Louis clerical organization… "Members of the Concerned Clergy of St. Louis know that Jason Kander will be an advocate for our community in the U.S. Senate, so we are enthusiastically supporting his campaign," said Rev. Earl Nance Jr., pastor at Greater Mount Carmel Missionary Baptist Church… Jason's opponent, Senator Roy Blunt, voted against all but one of the 26 bills the NAACP said were consistent with its civil rights mission in the 112th Congress, giving him an F and the lowest percentage of anyone in Missouri's Congressional delegation.
Good news from DED: Missouri's nonfarm payroll employment grew by 4,200 jobs in August, reaching a new record high for the state with 2,821,900 active jobs. Coupled with July's upward-revised increase of 3,200, employment over the past two months has grown by 7,400 jobs. The state's unemployment rate for August was 5.1 percent.
That new name on the Greitens' email blast… Bryan Reed. One politico explains: Detailed here from West Virginia, where he worked on the Gov race.
VoteVets PAC (see their website here) is buying air time in Missouri. See the contract here.
Seen in the rotunda: Recently retired Rep. Tony Dugger. One rumor had Dugger going to work for the Bankers Association, but that doesn't seem to have happened. We'll see where he ends up….
Press release: Mrs. Candy Carson will receive the 2016 Full-Time Homemaker of the Year Award this Saturday at Eagle Council XLV. This award has been given annually by Phyllis Schlafly since 1986. Dr. Ben Carson will also speak and help us honor his wife.
WSJ on Monsanto Merger: Behind a wave of multibillion-dollar mergers in the agriculture business is a moment of change in American farming. The dominance of genetically modified crops is under threat. Since their introduction to U.S. farms 20 years ago, genetically engineered seeds have become multifunctional and ubiquitous. But today, farmers are finding it harder to justify the high and often rising prices for modified seed, given the measly returns of the current farm economy. Biotech farming has also shown limitations, given how certain weeds are evolving to resist sprays, forcing farmers to fork out for a broader array of chemicals. Some are starting to seek out old-fashioned seed, citing diminished returns from biotech bells and whistles.

Our animals are slaughtered in a refrigerated abattoir that we manage ourselves, which is certified by the EC (EC 10,08234/GI ). The abattoir is located in the same town as our facilities, which avoids any stress caused by transportation. This enables us to ensure a meat of optimal quality.
Our distribution is conducted using our own refrigerated lorries. This allows us to monitor the meat throughout the entire process, right up to the point of sale, ensuring complete traceability.
As a result, we have been awarded the certification of Local Produce Sales – Short Circuit (Registration nᵒ VP/P/1269/2013), which is granted by the Department of Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries, Food and the Natural Environment of the Generalitat (Autonomous Government) of Catalonia, thanks to the fact that there is just a single intermediary between our farm and your table.


Last Wednesday Exetera headed down to Cavern to check out Exeter's newest student night, Kink. We weren't sad to hear that a new night had moved to good old Cavern; it was heartening to once again be greeted by those out-of-date posters and retro-styled bartenders. And if Cellar Door has cornered the student market for the majority of house music nights, then it's about time Cavern did the same for the live music scene. The initial idea behind Kink was to showcase some of the UK's best up-and-coming bands followed by DJ sets to carry on the festivities into the early hours of the morning.
We might not have known the night's live acts beforehand, but Dive In and Mausi are bands we're sure to hear more of in the future. Dive In began the party with an impressive serving of catchy indie dance, but it was the headliners, Mausi, who stole the stage. While their set was a little on the short side, their synthpop tunes had an energetic youthfulness which filled the dancefloor, proof of their growing popularity. Their sound falls somewhere between Passion Pit and Bastille, and teamed with the agile vocals of lead singer Daisy Finetto, they have all the necessary ingredients to make serious waves in the Nu Disco music scene.
The crowds thinned out after Mausi had finished their live set, but for those that remained the night was far from over. There was a slightly disheartening lull once the live bands had packed up, but the moment the DJs returned things were well and truly back on track.
In the past few years Exeter students have worked hard to showcase some of the best emerging artists in the country, but this focus has been primarily on dance music and DJs. While that's still cause for excitement, it's refreshing to welcome a new night which allows students to enjoy great live music and get their dance on during the same event. Kink had some minor problems on its first night, yes, but it has the potential to be a staple of Exeter student nightlife, and we at Exetera can't wait to see flourish.
KINK takes the place of Beats & Bass at Cavern, every other Wednesday night. Find out about Beats & Bass's relocation to Cellar Door here.


The introduction of auto enrolment has had an effect on all employers, no matter how small. Those who plan ahead will have access to the best resources, support and, perhaps, the best terms.
Workplace Pensions were phased in during the early part of 2018. This means every employer, regardless of size, will have to enrol their staff into a workplace pension scheme and make contributions – unless the employee actively chooses to opt out. The exact date by which a company must comply is known as the 'staging date', and is based on your employee headcount as at 1st April 2012. If you are unsure of your company's staging date, you can confirm this on The Pensions Regulator website.
Aiming to keep you informed with regard to all aspects of corporate pensions, Wellesley Wealth Advisory work closely with you so that you understand the requirements surrounding auto enrolment, and ensure that you are compliant with the latest legislation.

"In the Spirit of Pilgrimage" by Dante Elsner Reviewed by John Robert Colombo
Posted on February 22, 2015 by Bill
Whenever I visit New York City, which is not often enough, I devote half a day to the Frick Collection on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, largely in order to stand in reverential awe in its West Gallery to gaze at its most magnificent painting. Obviously I am referring to the "Self-Portrait" painted by Rembrandt van Rijn in 1658, the finest of the artist's innumerable self-portraits and, in my eyes, one of the greatest works of art of all time.
I once quipped, "Rembrandt knows me but I do not know him." This painting is evidence that he knows everyone, all of mankind, because he knows himself, and thus you and me. It is a tall order. On these occasions I recall the couplet composed by Robert Browning which go like this:
"He gazed and gazed and gazed and gazed,
Amazed, amazed, amazed, amazed."
The enchanting lines come from Browning's "Rhyme for a Child Viewing a Naked Venus in a Painting of the Judgement of Paris." They capture what I continue to feel about this grand work of high art.
It would take an art historian like Simon Shama or a curator like Sir Kenneth Clark, Lord Saltwood, to elucidate the painting's wonders and mysteries – or someone who has read the art book that is the subject of this review. The title of this book is "In the Spirit of Pilgrimage," and it is the work of Dante Elsner, as edited by his son Jaś Elsner and published by Traditional Studies Press.
Before proceeding further, here is a paragraph about the publisher: Traditional Studies Press. The imprint has been maintained by the Society for Traditional Studies in Toronto since 1971. Over the last four or so decades it has released ten books and compact disks, all of them related to the Work, including the pioneering "Guide and Index," "Beelzebub's Tales" (in its Russian text), a compact disk of the English text (recorded by William J. Welch), and most recently, "Meetings with Louise Welch in Toronto," a partial transcript of words spoken at meetings of the Toronto group a long time ago, some of which the present writer, a university student at the time, attended.
The books are beautifully and one senses lovingly selected, edited, designed, and printed. Most of them, like the present work, have a distinct, sparse, minimalist, and quietist style of their own. The work at hand shares these characteristics and has an unusual format. It is almost square, measuring 8.25 inches wide by 9.5 inches high. Pagination is x+106 pages of high-quality stock. It is a quality paperback with flaps on its front and back covers.
The text is well-leaded and hence easy to read, and there are by my count thirty illustrations, largely reproductions of paintings, ancient statuary, and pieces of old and new pottery, about half of them in full colour. My sole criticism of book's typography is that on a double-page spread the outside margins are so wide that the lines of text disappear into what printers picturesquely call "the gutter."
This is where the pages are glued (and not sewn unfortunately). Despite this reservation, the book serves as a miniature Frick Collection.
It comes with enthusiastic blurbs contributed by Jacob Needleman, Ravi Ravindra, Martha Heyneman, and Roger Lipsey. The consensus is that the book (in Needleman's words) "sounds a uniquely authentic understanding of the spirituality of all great art." That is the text in a nutshell.
In these pages Dante Elsner writes about his training and experience as an artist – painter, sculptor, and potter. For him art is everything, to the exclusion of much else. The book consists of a record of the conversations that in his later years he enjoyed with his son, enjoyed with his son Jaś Elsner. There are no entries for father or son on Wikipedia, but on the Web the son warrants a page as a faculty member of Corpus Christi College at Oxford.
Jaś Elsner was born in London and is a well-published authority on the art of the Roman Empire. He is also the author with Simon Coleman of "Pilgrimage: Past and Present in the World Religions" (Harvard University Press, 1995). The authors have dedicated this illustrated volume with its substantial text to their parents – in Jaś's case to Renée and Dante.
In these pages there is no reproduction of Rembrandt's "Self-Portrait," the painting I so cherish, but Rembrandt is the only artist (aside from Dante himself) who is represented with two full-page colour reproductions, and these are greatly arresting works in their own right: "Bathsheba at Her Bath" (1654) and "Portrait of Hendrickje Stoffels" (1650). The commentaries on them are most insightful. Dante and I would agree about Rembrandt's artistic greatness.
In fact, I find little in the entire book with which to disagree, although there are some points that he does not make that I feel he should have made, and it would have been a help to the student of art had the text included a brief biography of Elsner and some assessment of his work, though I sense the editors for reasons of their own, perhaps consistency, made a decision to avoid doing precisely that. For instance, in Poland he lost his parents in the Holocaust, yet somehow he found his way to Paris (and the Louvre) and thereafter he turned up in London. Herein lies a exodus yet to be shared. In point of fact, Jaś covers these matters in his memoir at the end of the book, albeit in a sketchy fashion.
The manuscript of these conversations was brought to the attention of the editors of Traditional Studies Press by Anna Passakas, one-half of the art group called Blue Republic, which exhibits its contemporary sculpture in Toronto and Krakow She was befriended by the Elsner family in London and in their cottage in the market town of Amersham. She supplies a warm memoir which she calls "The Story of a Friendship."
What Elsner himself offers his readers is a view of the relationship between the artist and the audience. "An original idea can only arise when a person is completely alive, and that is possible only when all functions – mind, feeling and body – collaborate, and that I am sure happens equally in music, poetry and the other arts. You have to use all three functions together. That's what is very difficult indeed, because usually we are predominantly in one function. Quite a lot of contemporary art is just invented by the mind."
He finds the special relationship of the centres in statuary from Ancient Egypt and Ancient China, and he finds its absence in the works of Kandinsky and Klee, not to mention Dalí and Picasso. "Try to compare, for example, the quality of Dalí with the quality of Bosch and you will see that there is no comparison." He is a Traditionalist in his tastes. He does have a modern hero. "Cézanne is a genuine discoverer," he notes, in keeping with modern scholarship and artistic fashion, and not a mere manipulator of impressions and not a purveyor of "a kind of cocktail of improvised ideas."
"Great painting, great art, has exactly the same potential. It is not made by the artist, but through the artist. It is not Rembrandt who painted the portrait, but something in him – you can call it Holy Spirit or whatever you wish – that is visiting him. Because he is in this state, he listens, he receives the impression, and because he is also ready in skill, he puts it immediately on canvas." So the artist is a visionary. "When the great vision is dictated to you, you don't have time to go and ask yourself what this shape or that shape will be. You just do it. That is what I call form."
"The great artist does not necessarily always produce great works of art. There are works by Rembrandt that are eogistic, and not painted with submission. However the later Rembrandts are nearly all superb works of art. Such is the quality of this man. He had lost his first wife, then later his common law wife and his son. He was left alone, abandoned by everybody (except perhaps by the Jews of the Ghetto who posed for him) and in spite of all that, he still produced great works of art. That for me is a mystery – how a man grows like that. The poorer he was, the more dejected he was, the more alone he was, the stronger he became."
Elsner finds Rembrandt to be a role model. "There is one late portrait of his representing a laughing old man. He laughs at fate. He is completely unconcerned about what will happen to him personally. That is what I would like to learn from Rembrandt, and I feel I am learning something of his wisdom each time I see his work. I know that he died in poverty. His life had a different pattern from the usual one. From a rich man, he became a pauper. But he was not broken by adversity. In him there was tremendous strength. And this strength shows in his painting. That is what others can learn from him. He shows the way. He shows how people can develop themselves."
My own experience with his "Self-Portrait" bears this out, except that this portrait of Rembrandt captures the subject's experience of himself and also captures the discrepancy between what the subject senses, feels, and knows about himself and what others are able to appreciate about him. Yet there is some irony here, some cynicism perhaps, as is pointed out by Simon Schama in his exhaustive study, Rembrandt's Eyes.
In an interesting passage, Elsner states that in a garden you can see a rose. Or can you? "You cannot say 'rose,' in this case, because this one is unique. You have seen it and you will never see it again. This is what happened to me. I was simply in the inner state of completeness, and so I saw a complete thing. Is there a rose that is not complete? It has beginning, just as you have. You also are complete. From this sort of experience can be born a portrait of roses or something like that."
The training of the artist is technical, but it must also be psychological, indeed spiritual. "All we can do is to prepare ourselves. We can prepare ourselves to be. This is basic to all religious teachings. Contemporary religions have lost contact with the essential, the basis in religion."
Elsner finds the work of Henry Moore, or at least those works that he has seen of the British sculptor, to be lacking. "Some people fall into a position of dealing with shapes, and that is characteristic of Henry Moore." It is earthbound rather than visionary. "As I've said, great paintings leave room for the spectator to be creative, to fill the spaces, and by that to create the work of art."
With Zen paintings, he finds that the spectator "fills these gaps where there are no strokes." He likens this to the modesty of Matisse who, sensing his limitations, forgets to paint in the faces of the saints in his masterpiece of religious art, Chapelle du Rosaire de Vence. "By accepting that to paint them was not in his power, he did some good. And that is a wonderful thing." My own feeling, on spending some time in the chapel near Nice, was that Matisse's Dominican sponsors failed to realize that they had commissioned an artist who was a pagan rather a believing Christian.
I am not sure why but I find that Elsner's Zen-like drawings to be less exciting than his paintings and ceramics. Perhaps it is because at first glance they resemble a lot of other calligraphic-like art and design. Perhaps the spectator has to study them in great detail to find how they are different, unlike Elsner's ceramics which strike me as quite distinctive, rich in a quality that is both earthy and earthly.
Elsner is quite critical of today's training techniques. "The training and practice of how to be open to another dimension does not exist in art schools. For that you have to find a special school and spend many years training. For example, there are meditation schools of Buddhism, like Zen, Vipassana or Thibetan; there is Islamic Sufism, the Krishnamurti Foundation, Bahai, the Gurdjieff teaching. All these schools may not teach you art, but they help you to become less dispersed within yourself."
"If you want to educate yourself as an artist, I recommend looking at the great works of art in museums." He then offers pointers on how to make such visits worthwhile. "If you look, for example, at Rembrandt, you don't learn how to copy him; you learn how he positioned himself inwardly in order to receive the vision. It is possible to extract that from Rembrandt."
It was Yogi Berra who once said, "You can see a lot by looking." Elsner always says, "Looking at drawings is an extremely important part of an artist's education. I spent two years in the Department of Prints and Drawings of the British Museum, and three years in the corresponding department of the Louvre, the Cabinet de Dessin." I am sure Elsner was a fine teacher, if he taught at all, and relentless critic of the work of other artists.
"Yes, when a man is in a collected state, not relying only on the resources of the rational mind, but with the awareness of the body and feeling working simultaneously, he is connected to a different energy that flows through him with unusual speed. His eyes are open to a different reality. He sees more – he sees 'form.' Everything becomes alive then. You are somehow wider. So what is important, maybe, is precisely that, to be wider."
En route to these insights, he discusses his reactions to individual works by Holbein, Leonardo, and, surprisingly, Corot's "Seated Woman" painted in 1830. "That is what I call real art." He then admits, "I think that all true art must be religious." He distinguishes that from "going to church." "Some Chinese or Japanese bamboo paintings are for me religious art, whereas 'The Holy Family' by Rubens is not." The same is true of Vermeer's 'Lady Playing a Lute'"
Goya and El Greco "attempted a nearly unreachable" goal when they largely failed in their attempted depictions of Christ. "The majority of paintings representing Christ are not religious." The reason for this? "What is missing nowadays, in both art and religious itself, is feeling. If we could have feeling, we could have peace. But we are not peaceful in ourselves and that is why our dreams of making peace are just nonsensical. If feeling were there, within a moment, peace would be there." Also: "Every human being can be an agent of peace if he is peaceful himself – if he is related inside. Feeling of this quality is the highest thing a man can touch."
There is a fair amount of information about Chinese, Japanese, and Korean art, and especially about Zen and the special paper and brush and brushstroke that the Zen artist uses. "To reach this quality of brushstroke, you have to practice hundreds of times." Perhaps if I reread these pages I will begin to appreciate the depths of Elsner's Oriental drawings.
Elsner takes his readers from his studio on a brief tour of a number of Europe's greatest centres of art, including Chartres cathedral, Notre Dame cathedral, the Cluny Museum in Paris, and the Victoria & Albert Museum in London. He describes and examines stained-glass windows, carved stone heads, etc. At the Guimet Museum in Paris, he pauses over the Raku pots and La Tsu Shi porcelain. "The real pot has to be 'born.' The potter does not 'do' anything. That's how it is in nature. To be creative does not mean that you create, but that creation takes place through you, through us; this is the purpose of our existence. We are created not in order to appropriate to ourselves the creating capacity."
The art and architecture of Ancient Egypt shows "supreme clarity" if only because their artists and artisans did not have to struggle against the pervasive naturalism that plagued Rembrandt and other European artists. "The 'Sphinx' produced a profound impression when I looked at him from his left side, but he was not so convincing from the right side. However, I have to reserve my judgment because I saw him only in the morning and at midday. How would he look in the afternoon or evening? You would have to go there many times, to see him in various situations of light. Maybe he was designed in such a way that in the evening he would appear very impressive from the right side, when the sun having moved towards his back would diminish the glare of his right eye."
Elsner finally asks the question, "Who is the 'Sphinx'"? If it is the image of the Pharaoh Cheops, it is much more besides that. "Krishnamurti says that we have a brain, but rarely have Mind; only sometimes can the cells of our brain undergo a transformation and contact Mind." There is a deep consideration of "Le Scribe Accroupi" (a seated male figure with a hypnotic gaze and a scroll in his lap) which dates from the Fifth Dynasty. "It calls you to be in the state of presence, not to imitate it, but to be it. The scribe is showing you as in a mirror what you could be."
Other works of art including Leonardo's "Mona Lisa" and Vermeer's "La Dentellière" are examined. The latter canvas he calls "a complete painting, painted with all the powers of his being." He confesses, "It took me eight years to distinguish the point of view expressed in this painting. The understanding did not happen suddenly as it did with the Mona Lisa. The understanding here came in a gentle way."
Of Rembrandt's "Portrait of Hendrickje Stoffels," he writes, "You feel it speaks to you, not to the whole world …. He painted her like a being from another planet." He adds, "This painting saved my life. I came upon it wanting to kill myself. I needed help." I will allow the reader of this book to learn more about this turning-point. Help arrived with the compassion conveyed by this painting.
The last section of this work is titled "Memoir of My Father" and it gives a youngster's view of his sculptor father who found some artistic fulfilment during his life but no ready market for his wares. The youngster is the distinguished art historian Jaś Elsner. From his father's exhibitions, he recalls signs that appeared on all the best pieces. They read "Not for Sale."
Elsner Senior was born in 1920 to a middle-class Jewish family in Krakow. He would have been given the first name of David except that it seemed too Jewish; instead, his parents opted for Dante, which sounded Italian and Catholic. He survived the German occupation of Poland, unlike so many other people. At the age of twenty-four, he entered the Academy of Fine Arts. "He was absolutely clear that the artist's two-fold path lay in clarifying what his expression should be, and in acquiring the necessary skills to the highest possible level."
In 1948, he was able to leave Communist Poland on a scholarship to study art in Paris, where he applied for refugee status, supported in this endeavour by the sculptor Zadkine, a fellow Pole whom he barely knew. He spent ten years painting in a garret on the Boulevard St. Michel. It was in the Louvre that he came upon Rembrandt's portrait of his common-law wife. It was in Paris that he chanced upon followers of Gurdjieff and in the early 1950s he joined the Work. "My father lived his working life, his art, his vocation and his spiritual life, as one. It is to Gurdjieff's Work that he owed the inspiration to take this as a goal and much of the means to effect it."
In 1956, he met a distant cousin Renée, also born in Kracow, and two years later they married and settled in London. They were able to support themselves from the meagre war reparations they received from the Federal Republic of Germany. Jaœ recalls growing up with his sister and attending meetings. "In our early childhood, one day of every weekend (alternately Saturday and Sunday) was spent at the Work's large former chicken farm at Bray outside London where my parents were involved in various craft activities to be conducted under strictly Gurdjieffian conditions of attention and 'self-remembering.' I think the children were meant to do this too, but we conspired to be as disruptive as possible of this particular aspect of the Work!"
At Bray he was exposed to the pottery of Peter O'Malley. "I think he believed that a great pot was a perfect embodiment of an experience of life, and in the range of his pottery he sought to evoke the infinite variety of human experience, joyful, sad, summer, spring, winter, autumn …. " In the end, "ill health struck him cruelly." He died of pneumonia in 1997, but lived long enough to see his daughter married and his son Jaœ married and the father of a girl named Maia and a baby boy (named Dante after him). "It was a joyful cremation" that took place at the Golders Green crematorium.
Whoever reads "In the Spirit of Pilgrimage" will acquire a new friend, an irascible one at times perhaps, yet a presence, who regarded art as a vision and a revelation so that he regarded the artist as a visionary and a revelator. Artists in particular will be impressed with the man's need to intuitively understand the work of art, intrinsically, rather than extrinsically through personal, material, or social history. If I had met him in life, I am sure Dante Elsner could and would have spoken to me for hours about the hidden and spiritual wonders of that special self-portrait now in the Frick Collection that Rembrandt had painted in Amsterdam amid so much poverty and pain over 350 years ago.

Situation vacant: one rabble-rouser
What the Labour Party badly needs, especially at their conference in Liverpool, is a good, old-fashioned rabble-rouser, someone who can effortlessly raise the spirits of an audience, someone, for example, in the Michael Heseltine mould.
Ed Miliband is probably a competent speaker - but no more than that. Whenever he tries to inject drama and passion into his speeches it simply sounds forced and contrived. His brother David, if he had won the leadership battle a year ago, would probably have been no better.
Iain Duncan Smith was another.
An admirable Work and Pensions Secretary he may be, but if he has fire in his belly it was never evident in the speeches he made as party leader. Even when his speech-writers gave him good lines, he delivered them like a robot. His minders used to go wild, waving their arms around like semaphore signallers, try ing to inject some enthusiasm into his audiences - but to no avail.
Where are the Michael Foots and the Barbara Castles? Even Neil Kinnock, when not inflated with wind, could rouse a an audience out of its conference torpor.
Among the current Labour Party characters, Dennis Skinner is probably the best at working an audience into a lather. But for years now, the Labour Party Establishment has regarded Skinner as something of a liability and has occasionally gone to considerable lengths to keep him well away from the spotlight.
Perhaps the pampering of MPs in the House of Commons has something to do with the lack of spontaneous political speakers these days. Today it is more or less routine for MPs to read their speeches in the Commons, complete with contrived "sound-bites".. They are now even allowed to read their questions to ministers - something that was strictly out of order only a few years ago.
You would be hard-pressed now to find an MP who could get up in the House of Commons and, like Michael Foot used to do, brilliantly deploy an argument, seemingly off the cuff, and possibly sway a Commons vote.
Admittedly John Prescott once ensured that the late Labour leader John Smith won a one-member-one-vote battle with a conference speech that was so garbled, so confused and so full of Spoonerismns as to make it totally unintelligible. Yet it was the passion with which he delivered this impenetrable diatribe which won the day for John Smith.
That is what I fear will be lacking at Liverpool this week: passion at the podium.

I disagree intently. They have plenty of rabble rousers. What they need is maturity.

The staff here is always super chill and very helpful and fun and friendly and you feel welcomed. They also have some pretty good deals, so it's not only for "the top" shelf clientele....There's always a wide variety of options and prices etc.
While on our visit from Florida the Wife and I decided to see if the products from this place would be of benefit to our health and help us to decide if we should pursue it when we got home with our medical professionals. The staff here were understanding of our novice status in this sort of thing and listened to our needs and made recommendations. We were very pleased with the results and are now in the process of finding a certified doctor in our state to prescribe for us.
Awesome place. Atmosphere is great. They do things a lil different here, you come in and there is an assigned rep that goes with you into their products room. I went there and bought clones about 3 weeks ago. Great quality, over all sevice level is exceptional. Highly recommend. Pic attached of the clones after about a month.
Staff of knowledgeable friendlies. Top notch selection of cannabis and glass. You will be comfortable and well tended.
