Wisdom Teachings with David Wilcock – Hindu Prophecy and the Earth's Transition into the Age of Ascension
It's back. There just seemed to be a need to pick back up where things left off several months ago. The material within the Wisdom Teachings series has always been jammed-packed with valuable data and study points that are good for years of research. This has been one of my favorite characteristics of the series. It also touches on why at one point, it became difficult to keep up with the series.
As I stated in previous articles, writing has not always been the easiest task for me to complete. There has always been a challenge with energy, health, and clarity of thought. However, these have approved for me somewhat in the past several weeks.
I am happy to pick the Wisdom Teachings series back up and try my luck at the mountains of data which David Wilcock has become known for delivering to his audience for the benefit of their own research.
When I last wrote on the series, Wilcock was covering some of the most dense scientific information I have seen within the series thus far. This information was relatively difficult to write about, but was still comprehensible to those of us who are somewhat familiar the technical side of astronomy and astrophysics.

These more recent episodes, on the other hand, cover subjects which—though they still require significant personal effort in research—give the viewer more material to chew on and less technical data to tackle. It was enjoyable to see these new topics covered in the series, and in this article I will give commentary of the subject of Hindu prophecy and ancient predictions of what some call the End Times (which could also be considered Beginning Times).
Prophesy and the Fractal Universe
The ability of ancient texts to predict future events seems to be a common trend throughout history. From the ancient Sanskrit predictions of the Zoroastrian faith to ancient Egyptian religion, to the Judeo-Christian and Native American prophecies—all of these faiths and philosophies held within them various predictions about future events—predictions which have been found to be surprisingly accurate.
There are multiple parallels between these prophesies. One of these includes predictions about the condition of the world during the End Times. It could easily be said that these times of difficulty and transition directly represent the current state of our world society.
We may know by now that these times of ending and beginning are but a small portion of a larger cycle of events which our planet undergoes over the millennia. In fact, universally speaking, there seems to be a constant progression of stages which mark the overall development of the universe, both on the cosmic and the quantum scale.

We as human beings play a major part on this development of awareness within our world. It has even been spelled out in various ancient texts that this societal development is part of a larger aspect of universal development. The cosmic cycles and progression of the universe as a whole is said to occur fractally. In other words, just as the universe consists of a fractal design, the universal development of that design and consciousness occurs fractally at every level of scale. From the microcosmic to the macrocosmic, everything in existence is believed by multiple ancient cultures to be evolving to greater levels of awareness as one divine superconsciousness.
Prophesies of the Ancient Hindu Faith
Among the many cultures from around the world, there seems to be a common theme in storytelling of the journey of the hero through their own awakening, development and achievement of some grand task. After this task is completed, the hero is born into a brand new state of being and consciousness. Within every one of these stories from millennia past from different corners of the world, this theme of the journey of the hero seems to remain astoundingly consistent.
It is theorized by some and believed by ancient religions that the hero's journey within the story actually represents the spiritual evolution of consciousness throughout its development. Further, the stage we know as the end times, plays a major role as the transitional period of the hero's journey from a state of desperation and decay to one of endless abundance and prosperity.

This stage of despair we know as the dark night of the soul and consists of many revelations and difficulties which are not typically seen during other stages of development. In the Hindu faith, these times are known as Kali Yuga or the Age of Discord (also known as the Age of Strife, Age of Vice, Age of Quarrel, Age of Contention), and these are the conditions we find within our current world as well as the ancient Hindu prophesies of the Mahabharata. As we will see, these predictions of the world from thousands of years ago are astonishingly accurate.
Mahabarata - Vana Parva – Book 3:187
In the Kali age, the Brahmanas also abstain from sacrifices and the study of the Vedas, are divested of their staff and deer-skin, and in respect of food become omnivorous. And, O son, the Brahmanas in that age also abstain from prayers and meditation while the Sudras betake themselves to these! The course of the world looketh contrary, and indeed, these are the signs that foreshadow the Universal Destruction. And, O lord of men, numerous Mleccha kings then rule over the earth!
We may note that the Universal Destruction mentioned above is in reference to what is later termed the Samvartaka fire. Wilcock comments this fire is actually believed to be in reference to the solar flash which is mentioned in virtually every ancient religion on the planet in various ways. He mentions that this fire at the end of an age is spoken of as though it is a commonly accepted fact within these ancient cultures.

David Wilcock makes the point about the sound of the word Mleccha in reference to the kings within the prophesy. The text predicts that the kings and rulers at the end times will be corrupt beyond measure. Their corruption could even be described as vomitous, and this may describe the origin of the word Mleccha is it sounds like a person vomiting, as Wilcock mentions. He also states how interesting it is that this prediction came about when it did, because at the time, the rulers and leaders were exceptionally upright and virtuous.
And those sinful monarchs, addicted to false speech, govern their subjects on principles that are false. The Andhhas, the Sakas, the Pulindas, the Yavanas, the Kamvojas, the Valhikas and the Abhiras, then become, O best of men, possessed of bravery and the sovereignty of the earth. This, O tiger among men, becometh the state of the world during the eve, O Bharata, of the Kali age! Not a single Brahmana then adhereth to the duties of his order. And the Kshatriyas and the Vaisyas also, O monarch, follow practices contrary to those that are proper for their own orders.
And men become short-lived, weak in strength, energy, and prowess; and endued with small might and diminutive bodies, they become scarcely truthful in speech. And the human population dwindles away over large tracts of country, and the regions of the earth, North and South, and East and West, become crowded with animals and beasts of prey.
And, O king, women then become mothers of numerous progeny, endued with low statures, and destitute of good behaviour and good manners.
The reference to women who became mothers of numerous progeny was a point of discussion in this particular talk. At the time these texts were first written (approximately 400 B.C.E.), the population of India was nowhere near as inflated as it is now. The issue of overpopulation was not at all a problem, most likely because the people of that time lived more in balance with the the land and with their own society. This passage is not referring to that period in history, but seems to refer very closely to our current point in history.
One other point to note is that the Brahmana were the religious leaders of the time.
And, O king, the very kine at such periods yield little milk, while the trees, sat over with swarms of crows, do not produce many flowers and fruits. And, O lord of the earth, regenerate classes, tainted with the sin of slaying Brahmanas, accept gifts from monarchs that are addicted to falsehood in speech. And filled with covetousness and ignorance, and bearing on their persons the outward symbols of religion, they set out on eleemosynary rounds, afflicting the people of the Earth.
And people leading domestic lives, afraid of the burden of taxes, become deceivers, while Brahmanas, falsely assuming the garb of ascetics, earn wealth by trade, with nails and hair unpared and uncut.
The point was made that the ascetics were the religious figures who chose to live impoverished lives for the sake of their faith. However, such religious practitioners were, in the future, projected to be falsely religious and greedy behind their false dedication.
And, O tiger among men, many of the twice-born classes become, from avarice of wealth, religious mendicants of the Brahmacharin order. And, O monarch, men at such periods behave contrary to the modes of life to which they betake themselves, and addicted to intoxicating drinks and capable of violating the beds of their preceptors, their desires are all of this world, pursuing matters ministering to the flesh and the blood.
And O tiger among men, at such period the asylums of ascetics become full of sinful and audacious wretches ever applauding lives of dependence.
And men, unholy in deed and thought, take pleasure in envy and malice. And, O sinless one, the earth then becometh full of sin and immorality. And, O lord of the earth, he that becometh virtuous at such periods doth not live long. Indeed, the earth becometh reft of virtue in every shape.
Let's consider the possibility that all of these religious texts from the different corners of the world were so similar because the same group of benevolent ETs deliberately seeded this knowledge into these religions and cultures early on. This task may have been done because these ETs cared about our future and they wanted to see the Earth and its people prosper instead of perishing in the coming millennia. We may keep in mind though that just because these religions were somewhat dogmatic does not mean that the ETs who delivered the underlying knowledge intended for the Earth's people to include dogmatic principles.

Wilcock mentions that these beings were likely 4th density and viewed Earth humans as in need of serious aid and improvement. If these beings were time travelers or were able to see the future, they may have given us hints as to how to spare ourselves and our future from this destruction, or possibly to educate us as to how to endure the coming difficulty and to prosper after these troubled times.
And, O tiger among men, the merchants and traders then full of guile, sell large quantities of articles with false weights and measures. And they that are virtuous do not prosper; while they that are sinful proper exceedingly. And virtue loseth her strength while sin becometh all powerful. And men that are devoted to virtue become poor and short-lived; while they that are sinful become long-lived and win prosperity.
And in such times, people behave sinfully even in places of public amusements in cities and towns. And men always seek the accomplishment of their ends by means that are sinful. And having earned fortunes that are really small they become intoxicated with the pride of wealth. And O monarch, many men at such periods strive to rob the wealth that hath from trust been deposited with them in secrecy. And wedded to sinful practices, they shamelessly declare--there is nothing in deposit.
Wilcock makes the point of how this prediction of fraudulent and deceitful handlers of wealth is surprising accurate to modern times. The banks that have been considered too big to fail have failed repeatedly and every time, instead of admitting their wrongdoing and making up for their actions, they steal the remaining wealth of the people and cut themselves checks.
These bankers, in essence, gamble with the money of the people and when they lose, they simply take the remaining money and run while telling the people, "There is no money." This seems to fit this prediction quite well, even though the prediction is thousands of years old.
And wedded to sinful practices, they shamelessly declare--there is nothing in deposit. And beasts of prey and other animals and fowl may be seen to lie down in places of public amusement in cities and towns, as well as in sacred edifices. And, O king girls of seven or eight years of age do then conceive, while boys of ten or twelve years beget offspring. And in their sixteenth year, men are overtaken with decrepitude and decay and the period of life itself is soon outrun. And O king, when men become so short-lived, more youths act like the aged; while all that is observable in youth may be noticed in the old.
This passage seems to be in reference to people aging beyond their years far earlier than natural design. This prediction and true condition of our current world seems staggeringly accurate. We are diseased at an early age, pumped full of poisonous chemicals and can even develop heart disease in our teenage years.
"O king, towards the end of those thousands of years constituting the four Yugas and when the lives of men become so short, a drought occurs extending for many years.
There was mention of how the Law of One text discusses how various Earth changes and difficulties are partially designed to act as catalysts for our awakening experience. If it were not for the difficulties we face, there would not be very much incentive in our world to progress. Though this is not true for every world, by my understanding, it is true on our planet, as we have a Cabal-established control structure overruling our society. Consequently, we need a firmer had to shake us from apathy since that apathy is so meticulously and artificially maintained. We will discuss this after completing this passage from the Mahabharata.
And then, O lord of the earth, men and creatures endued with small strength and vitality, becoming hungry die by thousands. And then, O lord of men, seven blazing Suns, appearing in the firmament, drink up all the waters of the Earth that are in rivers or seas. And, O bull of the Bharata race, then also everything of the nature of wood and grass that is wet to dry, is consumed and reduced to ashes. And then, O Bharata, the fire called Samvartaka impelled by the winds appeareth on the earth that hath already been dried to cinders by the seven Suns.

The Kali age seems to be the planetary equivalent of the concept of the dark night of the soul—a well-known aspect of the Hero's Journey. This journey is a format of storytelling used within most of the ancient as well as the modern entertainment (to restate). In fact we may have become so used to reading, watching and listening to this format that its commonality may have escaped us until now. Yet despite its commonality, the Hero's Journey seems just as new and fresh today as in ancient times. But why?

This journey of the hero does not only appear within religious texts and stories from ancient or modern times. On a larger scale, this progression of development seems to parallel the various stages of spiritual development of consciousness in the universe. If it is true that the journey represents a cycle of universal development, and ancient ET visitors to Earth knew these concepts, it would explain why ancient cultures were able to predict the future the way the Mahabharata seems to have predicted the conditions of our current world. It is likely the events of the Kali Yuga have happened before on this planet, or perhaps on other worlds throughout the cosmos.
David Wilcock makes mention of the likelihood that the Seven Blazing Suns mentioned above are most likely a figurative representation of the seven chakra of the human energy body. This reference may represent the energetic evolutionary process of ascension when the solar flash takes place. In this process, it is believed that the current human experience ends or is upgraded to such a height of existence that there is nothing left of the old.

The new body may be something similar to an avatar with all of the abilities we read about from ancient folklore. This is actually similar to the description of what the next section the Mahabharata calls the Krita Yuga (also called the Satya Yuga) or Golden Age which follows the former Kali Yuga. Here is the text on the subject.
"Markandeya continued, 'Having exterminated the thieves and robbers, Kalki will, at a great Horse-sacrifice, duly give away this earth to the Brahmanas, and having established anew the blessed rectitude ordained by the Self-create, Kalki, of sacred deeds and illustrious reputation, will enter a delightful forest, and the people of this earth will imitate his conduct, and when the Brahmanas will have exterminated the thieves and robbers, there will be prosperity everywhere (on earth).
And as the countries of the earth will one after another be subjugated, that tiger among Brahmanas, Kalki, having placed deer skins and lances and tridents there, will roam over the earth, adored by foremost Brahmanas and showing his regard for them and engaged all the while in slaughtering thieves and robbers. And he will exterminate the thieves and robbers amid heart-rending cries of 'Oh, father--' 'Oh, mother!--'O son!' and the like, and O Bharata, when sin will thus have been rooted out and virtue will flourish on arrival of the Krita age, men will once more betake themselves to the practice of religious rites.
It's important to note here that the destructive feats described here are not total, meaning that not everyone on Earth experiences this destruction. This destruction only comes for those who are in need of a karmic balance and not for those on the positive path. According to the text, the Kalki avatar will destroy darkness on the planet and leave no remnant of it, bringing the planet into an age of abundance.
And in the age that will set in, viz., the Krita, well-planted gardens and sacrificial compounds and large tanks and educational centres for the cultivation of Brahmanic lore and ponds and temples will re-appear everywhere. And the ceremonies and rites of sacrifices will also begin to be performed. And the Brahmanas will become good and honest, and the regenerate ones, devoted to ascetic austerities, will become Munis and the asylums of ascetics, which had before been filled with wretches will once more be homes of men devoted to truth, and men in general will begin to honour and practise truth. And all seeds, sown on earth, will grow, and, O monarch, every kind of crop will grow in every season.
And men will devotedly practise charity and vows and observances, and the Brahmanas devoted to meditation and sacrifices will be of virtuous soul and always cheerful, and the rulers of the earth will govern their kingdoms virtuously, and in the Krita age, the Vaisyas will be devoted to the practices of their order. And the Brahmanas will be devoted to their six-fold duties (of study, teaching, performance of sacrifices on their own account, officiating at sacrifices performed by others, charity and acceptance of gifts), and the Kshatriyas will be devoted to feats of prowess. And Sudras will be devoted to service of the three (high) orders,
The concept of the Kalki avatar coming forward on the planet seems to be of major significance in the Hindu faith. According to the text, this avatar somehow comes into view either before or during the time of the Samvartika fire or the great solar flash. This person is believed to be able to control matter, the elements, and do many other supernatural feats, and with this power will defeat evil on the planet and cleans the Earth from all darkness.
It was also discussed in the episode the concept of the vibhuti ash. Here is a short definition of this sacred ash from Wikipedia.
Another meaning of vibhuti is a 'glorious form', in contrast with Avatar, a reincarnation of Brahman.[2]Bhagavata Theology describes a vibhuti as 'incarnation of power', which is only a temporary occasional manifestation such as when holy men are infused with divine virtues and qualities are infused.[3] Aurobindomentions a vibhuti as 'the hero of a race's struggle towards divine achievement, the hero in the Carlyleansense of heroism, a power of God in man
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vibhuti
This is a substance that is made from the sacred fire and is known for its pleasant aroma. The ash is not only linked to the Hindu god, Shiva, as the description suggests. It actually represents the coming of the light body—the incarnation of power or the glorious form. This concept sounds very similar to the transformation of humanity discussed in multiple other ancient texts. The concept which many believed to refer to a Golden Age seems to have largely been misunderstood. The true meaning of the ancient texts actually refers not to a Golden Age, but a Golden Race.

This golden race is far removed from the Nazi's idea of the Aryan race of blonde hair, blue eyes and superior genetics. This Golden Race is the spiritual, energetic, and evolutionary leap which seems to be telegraphed much like the presently observed Age of discord. Could it be that what comes next is accurately predicted as well?
The Law of One Reference
As promised I would like to review the passage from the Law of One which describes the reference from earlier. This was the point about how humanity experiences an accelerated awakening due to disharmony and calamity within nature and the world as a whole. This comes from the Law of One, Session 33, Line 12.
Law of One
33.12 Questioner: Thank you. As we near the end of this master cycle there may be an increasing amount of catalyst for entities. I am wondering if, as the planetary vibrations mismatch somewhat with the fourth-density vibrations and catalyst is increased, if this will create a slight amount of more polarization thereby getting a slightly greater positive harvest because of this catalyst and in the same way create a more negative polarization and then get a slight amount more negative harvest by this mechanism of transition that is, unfortunately, somewhat more catalytic than it would be if the planet had reached a higher state of consciousness. Does this happen?
Ra: I am Ra. The question must be answered in two parts. Firstly, the planetary catastrophes, as you may call them, are a symptom of the difficult harvest rather than a consciously programmed catalyst for harvest. Thus we do not concern ourselves with it, for it is random in respect to conscious catalyst such as we may make available.
The second portion is this: the results of the random catalyst of what you call the earth changes are also random. Thus we may see probability/possibility vortices going towards positive and negative. However, it will be as it will be. The true opportunities for conscious catalyst are not a function of the earth changes but of the result of the seniority system of incarnations which at the time of the harvest has placed in incarnation those whose chances of using life experiences to become harvestable are the best.
http://www.lawofone.info/results.php?s=33#12
To restate, the fact that we live in a world that is so heavily controlled by the criminal cabal gives rise to the need for a louder wake-up call, so to speak. We have so much stimuli all around us. There are countless distractions at every turn—many of which are specifically designed to make us all forget about our innate curiosity and our desire to learn. We have an intrinsic need to evolve and to better ourselves, not only automatically for the sake of survival, but consciously as a choice to move beyond our present state of existence.
Related topics - Wisdom Teachings with David Wilcock: Pyramids and Ascension – Summary, Commentary, and Links
It is said that we each have this desire, but in order to hear and remember this desire in today's world, we tend to need a harder kick in the pants to get us moving past all of the distractions. This is why much of the catalyst, or evolutionary stimulus we experience seems so uncomfortable and sometimes painful. In today's world, this pain serves as the next step toward our evolutionary boon.
The Kalki Avatar and the Eight Faculties
To be honest, when I heard of the concept of the Kalki, I was surprised. I did not know that ancient texts depicted what can only be described as a superhuman character (or characters) who defeats the Cabal and erases evil from the planet at the time of the solar flash. We cannot say if this being is a figurative representation of what we will all become at the time of this event or if it is one or several specific individuals. Nonetheless, the concept seems extremely intriguing.
There are eight characteristics, or faculties that were discussed in this episode which the Kalki avatar will posses and use in defeating evil on the planet. These each come from the website, Sums Corp.
Eight Faculties
Anima - the ability to become small
Laghima – the ability to make the body extremely light; suggests complete command over matter
Prapti – instant manifestation of anything a person wants; spontaneous materialization
Prakamya - irresistible will; similar to the Jedi mind trick; control over people's mind
Mahima – limitless bulk; the ability to change one's size
Ishita – supreme dominion; command and control any aspect of nature and the universal elements
Vashita – control over one's environment; may be similar to ishita; etymology may vary between this and other abilities
Kamavasayita – the power to suppress all desire. Those who possess this ability will not use their power irresponsibly, but will help the planet
http://www.sumscorp.com/
We may recognizer many of these abilities from recent Hollywood films. In movies such as Star Wars, Ant Man, Tarzan, the Hulk, and the X-Men these superhuman abilities seem to be promoted in excess. One may wonder whether or not certain interests behind the movie industry are attempting to prime the minds of audience members to begin considering the possibilities of actually possessing these abilities.
There is much more to learn on this particular subject. I intend to cover other episodes on these and many other topics, and look forward to digging deeper to finding the answers. I hope you do as well.

1 Chron 17:16 Then David the king went in and sat before the Lord and said, "Who am I, O Lord God, and what is my house that You have brought me this far?
Saturday evening through Sunday afternoon was a pretty rough patch this weekend. Circumstances seemed to swirl around me and drag me into a mess. After completing an update on two of our systems where I work another cluster of three large, critical servers crashed. Looking into the problem and correcting it turned into a 13 hour march after what had already been a long day. In the end the recovery was successful, but the process was tedious at times.
Somewhere in the later hours of the recovery and after being up for 33 hours I was becoming a little terse with my responses. Frustration with questions that could wait until later and procedures held up by things beyond my control were all getting the better of me. I was having the proverbial bad day.
After some sleep and then praying and listening like I should have all along I was humbled by the realization that my circumstances didn't change one simple fact - God was there all along and I had ignored Him. His comfort and grace were available every minute of every one of those hours. I had allowed circumstances control me rather than submitting myself to His control.
If I am to be a mirror of his love and hope for those around me I must remember who I am. I am His child rather than the one in control. I am the Ambassador of His kingdom and had missed an opportunity for service. I am blessed beyond my understanding in so many ways. Many of these blessings are intangible, and so are easy to miss when looking through circumstances.

Laura Trott on why staying calm and focused is key ahead of Rio 2016
"It's really important to feel normal," explains double Olympic gold medallist and DFS brand ambassador Laura Trott
Tuesday 14 June 2016, 16:44 UK
Laura Trott is a double Olympic gold medallist from London 2012
It comes as no surprise that hard work and discipline are just two of the keys behind any Olympic athlete's success.
But for all of the early starts and long training sessions, it is sometimes easy to forget that elite-level athletes need to be able to switch off and relax just like the rest of us.
Double Olympic gold medallist Laura Trott knows all about the sacrifices needed to make it at the top level after her rise to prominence at London 2012.
Trott, an official DFS brand ambassador, won omnium and team pursuit gold on home soil as the country was swept by Olympic fever four years ago.
However, the 24-year-old is quick to admit that she loves to spend her free time unwinding at home and putting the rigours of the track to one side.
Her favourite way of relaxing at home after stepping out of the lycra? Chilling on the sofa in front of the latest episode of EastEnders.
Indeed, Trott was even proposed to by fellow British Olympic cycling star Jason Kenny on the comfort of a sofa.
Trott is, of course, now firmly focused on her preparations for this summer's Rio 2016 Olympics in Brazil, and the British cycling star admits that it is her dogs she'll miss most while away.
She also stressed the importance of having her friends and family around her to help keep her grounded and focused.
"It's really important to feel normal," explained Trott as he discussed her favourite ways to unwind when not in competition or training.
DFS have been working with some of Great Britain's rising Olympic stars to give a glimpse into their lives away from the limelight and the importance of rest and relaxation lead-up to the Rio 2016 Olympics.
As well as Trott, DFS have also been catching up with gymnastics star Max Whitlock and swimmer Adam Peaty.
"At DFS, we know the importance of home," said a DFS spokesperson. "The value of proper rest and relaxation can be sometimes overlooked, but it has the power to make us truly great.
"The athletes we've been working with have shown us that, and we can't wait to bring that 'home' feeling to Rio for all of Team GB. Talent made in Britain, starts at home."
As part of their campaign to help Britain's athletes relax away from the limelight, DFS recently unveiled The Britannia, a specially designed, limited edition sofa that celebrates Team GB and provides a centre piece to British House: the home of the team in Rio.

One thing that struck me when I read about Carlos Slim Helu (the richest Man in the World) was that he was taught business practice from his dad, and by 12, he already had bought government bonds and shares in a Mexican bank.
Many Kids are aware of the concept of money long before they can actually add or subtract properly. They watch you pay for things at the supermarket, they watch you collect money from the ATM. Money gives people (both young and old) decision-making opportunities. Educating, motivating, and empowering children to become regular savers and investors will enable them to keep more of the money they earn and do more with the money they spend. Saving is a great way to stimulate self control and delayed gratification, and it has been proven that people with these abilities are good with other life skills.
All parents want their kids to have the ability to wait, to be patient, to have self-control, and to be able access their will power. Those skills help us all do what's needed in life- to persevere. Some kids are born with those capabilities, but most have to be taught.
As soon as children can count, introduce them to money. In fact, don't wait until they can count, as soon as they start making demands like "buy me this" and "buy me that" take an active role in providing them with information about purchases.
Communicate with children as they grow about your values concerning money - how to save it, how to make it grow, and most importantly, how to spend it wisely. Children should learn the differences between needs, wants, and wishes. When you give them an allowance, they should be allowed to spend it on what ever they choose but they must live with the consequences of a good or bad purchase --Welcome to the real world! If they want something expensive you can offer a loan and introduce a loan repayment schedule, you can even create a spreadsheet for it. This will prepare them for making good spending decisions in the future.
I think so much of the challenge around kids and money comes from our own money issues that we haven't fully resolved, and not wanting to pass them on to our children. Teaching financial literacy is like teaching any other skill, we do a great job teaching our children about respect, manners, how to be cultured, how to make their beds and brush their teeth,but so often we neglect teaching them to be financially astute.

Q: Ansible lineinfile not performing idempotency I have an ansible task that writes 2 lines into journald.conf, however it doesn't perform idempotency when running again.
I have seen the following questions that didn't work for me:

*

*Ansible lineinfile duplicates line

*Idempotency in ansible playbook

*https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/4531
My regex seems to be okay, you can see below my task:
- name: set cpu affinity settings in systemd
  lineinfile:
    dest: /etc/systemd/journald.conf
    line: "{{ item.key }}={{ item.value }}"
    regexp: "^#?{{ item.value }}"
    state: present
  with_dict:
    RateLimitIntervalSec: 0
    RateLimitBurst: 0
  tags: journald
  notify: restart journald

The expected behavior should be: keep the commented line and add new ones at the end of the file with the items in the list, unless the uncommented lines already exists.
My file journald.conf file is like this:
[Journal]
#Storage=auto
#Compress=yes
#Seal=yes
#SplitMode=uid
#SyncIntervalSec=5m
#RateLimitIntervalSec=30s
#RateLimitBurst=1000
#SystemMaxUse=
#SystemKeepFree=
#SystemMaxFileSize=
#SystemMaxFiles=100
#RuntimeMaxUse=
#RuntimeKeepFree=
#RuntimeMaxFileSize=
#RuntimeMaxFiles=100
#MaxRetentionSec=
#MaxFileSec=1month
#ForwardToSyslog=yes
#ForwardToKMsg=no
#ForwardToConsole=no
#ForwardToWall=yes
#TTYPath=/dev/console
#MaxLevelStore=debug
#MaxLevelSyslog=debug
#MaxLevelKMsg=notice
#MaxLevelConsole=info
#MaxLevelWall=emerg
#LineMax=48K
RateLimitIntervalSec=0
RateLimitBurst=0
RateLimitIntervalSec=0
RateLimitBurst=0
RateLimitIntervalSec=0
RateLimitBurst=0
RateLimitIntervalSec=0
RateLimitBurst=0

I tried to use the parameter backrefs: yes as suggested in above mentioned articles, but it performs idempotency every time, even when there is no any uncommented line.
Do you guys have any suggestions?
I'm using ansible 2.9.0

A: I'd suggest an alternative approach - use the ini_file module,  as settings in journald.conf are INI style key=value (with a section as well). This will simplify the task required and be idempotent as well.
Example:
    - name: set cpu affinity settings in systemd
      ini_file:
        path: /etc/systemd/journald.conf
        section: Journal
        option: "{{ item.key }}"
        value: "{{ item.value }}"
        no_extra_spaces: yes
      with_dict:
        RateLimitIntervalSec: 0
        RateLimitBurst: 0

Note: If you want a reference of settings prior to change, add backup: yes to the task.

The Apple iPhone 6s Plus is now available in Singapore. The cheapest Apple iPhone 6s Plus price in Singapore is S$ 488.00 from Qoo10. Apple iPhone 6s Plus price details are updated April 2019.
As Apple did with the previous iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, the iPhone 6S Plus is a much larger device. The size of the display and body is pretty much the most significant difference between the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus. The iPhone 6S Plus sports a large 5.5-inch (diagonally) display with a pixel resolution of 1920 x 1080 Full High Definition, which equates to 401 pixels per inch (ppi) on the display, in comparison to the 4.7-inch (diagonally) High Definition display of the smaller iPhone 6S.
This means that the iPhone 6S Plus has a got a much better display in terms of clarity and sharpness – and besides, it is always better to watch a video or play a game on a larger display than to watch it on a smaller screen.
The iPhone 6S Plus utilizes all of the same specifications as that of the iPhone 6S. The same processor, the same amount of RAM – most of the hardware components inside are similar. The camera module itself is quite similar as well actually; both iPhone 6S' utilizes Apple's iSight 12 megapixels camera with an aperture of f/2.2 and True Tone flash.
The iPhone 6S Plus, however, has a little added bonus added to its camera, and that is optical image stabilization (OIS). Optical image stabilization takes the form of a moving camera inside the body of the smartphone, thereby reducing camera shake during video recording. It also helps to assist the user in providing a blur-free photography experience. If you think that optical image stabilization does not seem to be such a useful feature, then you probably have not tried it out. Give it a try and then you'll understand.
With a larger overall body and display definitely comes with a larger space in the iPhone's body. Any manufacturer would be a fool not to utilize that extra space for extra components or features. Apple has already included a better screen and optical image stabilization in the camera, and they are smart enough to include a much larger battery in the iPhone 6S Plus. Where the iPhone 6S has a battery capacity of 1715 mAh, the iPhone 6S Plus has a massive 2750 mAh, offering a much longer battery life. You can now stay away from chargers and power banks for much longer periods without having to worry about having an empty tank.

Brown age spots (also known as actinic lentigines) were originally thought to be solely due to sun damage and a result of overexposure to harmful UVA and UVB rays.
However, scientists are now discovering that the colour and evenness of our skin tone is ultimately determined by our genetics – and the ratio of melanin, carotenoids and haemoglobin they contain. This explains why dark spots appear earlier than wrinkles in Asian women but later in life, long after fine lines have set in, for those with Caucasian complexions.
But just because these dark spots are largely determined by genetics and the pigments and proteins in our skin, this doesn't mean that the right beauty products can't help eradicate and disguise them. It's just a matter of choosing the right dark spot corrector for your skin type.
When selecting a dark spot corrector, opt for a beauty product that contains lots of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory ingredients. If going out for the day, don't forget to top your corrector with sunscreen – although other factors are also responsible for dark spots, staying clear of the sun's harmful rays will keep your skin looking bright and wrinkle-free (more or less).
One of our favourite dark spot correctors is Lancôme DreamTone Serum. Specifically designed to address the pigment concerns of the three main skin profiles – fair, medium and dark – Lancôme DreamTone Serum comes in three corresponding editions, simply titled 1, 2 and 3.
Each one contains varying amounts of neutralising Micro Seaweed Extract, brightening Maitake Extract and resurfacing Salicylic Acid, to irradiate redness, illuminate sunken areas and fade blemish scars. Topped off with a generous drop of tinted colour, each serum leaves skin luminous, smooth and healthy, giving you the option to go make-up free.
Clinique's Even Better Clinical Dark Spot Corrector has an extract from the border silver plant that works like hydroquinone – the doctor's gold standard for reducing dark spots – but is less drying.
Clear up an uneven texture and brighten your complexion with Kiehl's Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution. Fragrance-, paraben- and silicone-free, this is a great serum for sensitive skins.
Fight your uneven skin tone and dark spots while improving your skin's texture, while you sleep. Estee Lauder's Enlighten Dark Spot Correcting Night Serum is perfect for women who suffer from blotchy, uneven and dry skin.
Enriched with yeast extract, Lancôme Light Expert Dark Spot Corrector doesn't clog pores and is perfect for all skin types.
Ponds Perfect Colour Complex cream reduces dark spots and evens out your overall complexion for luscious glowing skin. It's also great for people who suffer from oily skin thanks to its matte finish.

The Burmese military authorities have released the pro-democracy leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, from house arrest.
Appearing in front of thousands of jubilant supporters outside her home in Rangoon, Ms Suu Kyi said they had to work in unison to achieve their goals.
The crowd had rushed to the compound when nearby barricades were removed by police.
The 65-year-old Nobel Peace Prize winner has been detained for 15 of the past 21 years.
Her release comes six days after the political party supported by the military government won the country's first election in 20 years. The ballot was widely condemned as a sham.
The junta has said the election marks the transition from military rule to a civilian democracy, but the opposition, many Western governments and human rights groups have said the election was neither free nor fair.
Guess time will show whether they're honest, or just more cautious now.
It's about time, but I have a feeling they'll arrest her soon for some tiny offense that will result in years of house arrest. The military junta which still maintains a firm grip on power in Burma won't let someone like Aung San Suu Kyi, who won the last real elections in the country via a complete landslide, re-organize her political party and continue to oppose the junta in public.
They've released her at least eight or nine times only to rearrest her some time later. The junta is trying to fake a democratic transition to get the West to lift import bans, investment bans and arms embargoes and Aung San Suu Kyi is just a pawn in that game. They just had their mock election so she can't muck things up for them for at least 20 years, or at least that seems to be the term of office in Burma.
So what until the actual country has democracy its just a freggin joke.

Heinrich Hansen, a Danish academic painter, had his initial training as a painter in Flensborg, and attended the Academy in Copenhagen from 1842 until 1846, where he concentrated on decorative painting. Like Christian Kbke (1810-1848) Hansen was involved with the painted decorations of the Thorvaldsens Museum in Copenhagen from 1844-5. Hansen traveled frequently, Germany in 1847, and in 1850 left for an extensive two-year European journey, visiting Spain, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Great Britain. Later, in 1868-69 and 1875, he visited Italy. For many years he taught perspective and ornamental design at the Copenhagen Academy and was a member of numerous artistic committees inside and outside of this institution. As a consequence, Hansen became an influential figure in the Danish art world. From 1868 through 1890 he was the artistic director of the Copenhagen porcelain manufacturer Bing & Grndahl. He strongly advocated the aesthetic enhancement of industrial products. Because of his premier position as a designer and his interest in the Renaissance, Danish art of a historic bent predominantly leaned toward a neo-Renaissance style. As a painter, Hansen was the first Danish artist to specialize in architectural painting. He received rapid fame for his detailed and harmonious depictions of buildings and richly decorated interiors, often in the Renaissance style. His minute studies of Frederiksborg Castle were used for the reconstruction of its interior after the fire of 1859. Hansen was also involved with the rebuilding of the famous Neptune fountain by the sculptor Adriaen de Vries at Frederiksborg, which had been dismantled during the Swedish occupation in 1659.
Our drawing is a typical subject of Hansen. Other church interiors that he executed include the Church of Saint Sablon, Brussels in the National Museum in Copenhagen The Slotskirken of Christiansborg, Copenhagen in the Cleveland Museum of Art. Ribe is Denmarks oldest surviving city and in southwest Jutland. It is on the banks of the Ribe River which runs into the ocean. A church has existed in the city since 854, and a cathedral has been there since 1110, and the present cathedral dates from this period is one of the best preserved Romanesque buildings. There were extensive re-buildings and decorations of the cathedral, and our drawing dates from after the 1843 re-decoration, and the building looks very similar today [see Figure 1].

In the Landscaping program, trainees will learn various aspects of landscaping such as surveying, interlocking brick and basic blueprint reading. Landscapers construct and maintain gardens, parks, golf courses and other landscape environment. In addition, they advise clients on issues related to horticulture and landscape construction. They can be self-employed or employed by landscape designers, architects and contractors, lawn service, tree care establishments, recreation facilities, nurseries, and greenhouses just to name a few.
Landscaping skills are utilized throughout the construction industry. Some landscapers specialize in areas such as landscape design, construction and maintenance of greenhouses, sodding and nursery production. Landscapers require good communication skills to coordinate and facilitate work with clients, coworkers and other trades. They also require strong analytical and organizational skills.
Employment in this trade is quite often seasonal with long hours in the summer months. Much of this work is done outdoors, while indoor work may involve greenhouse production, interior landscaping and sales of plants, landscape materials and supplies. The work may be strenuous and may involve activities such as lifting, climbing and bending.

Q: What is this encoding and how to I convert it? I am pulling text out from an html tag attribute using lxml and xpath via tag.attrib['title']. I get:
Málaga Airport

where in the browser with the same url I am seeing:
Málaga Airport

How do I convert the former to the later?

A: It seems that the lxml html parser assumes a 'latin1' encoding for byte strings.
So unless the input is encoded as 'latin1' (or 'ascii'), the encoding needs to be specified explicitly. In this case, it looks like it should be 'utf-8':
>>> from lxml import etree
>>>
>>> html = u"""
...
... <title>Test</title>
...
...
Example

...
...
... """
>>>
>>> html = html.encode('utf-8')
>>>
>>> parser = etree.HTMLParser()
>>> tree = etree.fromstring(html, parser)
>>> print tree.xpath('//p/@test')[0]
Málaga
>>>
>>> parser = etree.HTMLParser(encoding='utf-8')
>>> tree = etree.fromstring(html, parser)
>>> print tree.xpath('//p/@test')[0]
Málaga


This is an interesting book compilation of all that which most of us know but that ended up not putting into practice by laziness, mistrust and sometimes even by ignorance. Surely if you are so interested in the ecology and lead a life sound like to buy the book, you will already know and you'll be carried out half of the things that are written in the book. Interesting thing then is the other half and new ideas arriving I head to read the book.I think that it's a book that should be read throughout the world, as it somehow should be compulsory reading in schools and institutes. Margaret Fenwick says by paragraphs as things stand today in the world, which can be the solution to the problems and how can do us from individualism to gradually put end to those problems. Furthermore it helps to create awareness on many values that are being lost in this era of the capitalismo-consumismo where anything goes and the more cheap best. Of excessively briefly comes to make us aware that we must inform us, think and read labels before buying a product. We really need everything that we buy and everything that we throw away is useless? In addition to the information written in each chapter of the book, I think that is very interesting and useful glossary that comes at the end of the book which also clarify some concepts about recycling, offers us a series of interesting address on this subject.


I was going through my photo files the other day and came across these pictures of the Delta from a tour; I always meant to do a slideshow, but … well, let's just say I got sidetracked. So I went ahead and put all my pictures from the Delta into this lengthy post. This is also only a portion of what we saw; we were driven extensively through the Delta, oftentimes we stopped at places but didn't always get off the bus. Pictures through the bus window don't always work out so well. So. with that being said, here is my photo tour of the Delta. I hope you enjoy!
Twitchell Island, with Mt. Diablo in the hazy distance.
We visited a USGS project that is using tules to reverse subsidence on the Delta islands.
This is the Smith Canal in Stockton. Although the picture looks rural, it really is quite urbanized here.
The presentation here discussed a flood control project that recently received funding.
There were a lot of people fishing here, too.
This was taken from Sherman Island. Note the Antioch Bridge in the distance.
Another shot from Sherman Island.
The tour included a dinner cruise on the Stockton Delta, where we were joined by Stocktonians enjoying the Delta. It was a beautiful evening. This is very close to downtown Stockton.
This was on a Wednesday evening, and there were a lot of people out enjoying the waterway.
Another shot of the Delta from the dinner cruise.
We stopped at the Delta Discovery Center, a really exciting project under development that when completed, will include an interpretive center and so much more. A few months ago, the farmers market opened. I am returning to the Delta in March and I look forward to seeing how much farther they have come. You can find out more at www.discoverthedelta.org.
This is from somewhere inside the Delta. I think I took this one through the window of the bus.
We also stopped at the Delta Cross Channel. The cross channel is used to transfer Sacramento River water across the Delta.
These gates can be opened and closed depending on water quality, flood protection, and fish protection requirements. They are usually closed most of the spring.
Bethel Island is one of the more populated islands in the Delta.
A lonely sunflower keeps watch on the levee by Bethel Island.
Also from the Bethel Island levee.
Looking inside from the levee.
We also visited the Skinner Fish Facility. These screens keep the larger fish out.
These are the fish screens that try and keep the smaller fish out of the pumps.
The ones that make it through end up here in a tank, where they are counted and trucked back into the Delta.
This is Contra Costa Water District's Los Vaqueros Dam. This dam is going to be enlarged.
This is Los Vaqueros Reservoir. No body contact allowed, but there is fishing and a hiking/biking trail that circles the reservoir.
Dinner on the second night was at the Caprice Restaurant in Sausalito.
Agriculture is the main land use in the Delta, and we drove by many fields and orchards.
We also toured the Contra Costa Water District's water treatment plant.
This machine uses ozone to disinfect the water.
The Bill Jones Pumping Plant supplies the Central Valley Project. It is located very close to the pumps for the State Water Project.
Apparently their cleaning lady doesn't do windows. That's okay; mine doesn't either.
And here are the pumps. At least you know your tax dollars don't go to making them all look pretty.
The pumps are located underneath the white tops; the Gantry Crane can go over head for servicing.
Unfortunately, the fog did not cooperate for any good Golden Gate Bridge photos.
We had a quick trip through the Aquarium of the Bay ….
Our last stop was at the Suisun Marsh before we returned to Sacramento. It was quite a trip!

Objective: To describe the epidemiological profile of children and adolescents who are victims of domestic violence. Method: This is a cross sectional and descriptive study, following a quantitative approach, conducted from September to December 2013, at the SOS CHILD service, in the city of Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. The research protocol was approved by CEP/UFRN under CAAE 0166.0.051.000-11. Results: In the analysis of 69 children, the results were presented from three points of view: 1) the victim—female (56.5%), aged one to 11 years old (66.7%) and lived with one of the parents (43.5%); 2) the abuser—female (60.9%) in the 14 - 23 years old and 34 - 43 years old, with the same percentage (24.6%), history of alcohol use and abuse (42.0%), the mother was the one who attacked the most (34.7%); 3) types of violence, among the physical ones, the most frequent were slaps (43.2%) and punches (18.9%); the prevalence, among the psychological violence, were curses (35.4%) and abuse (27.8%); negligence, omission of care (73.5%), deprivation of care for personal appearance (18.4%); among sexual violence: sexual caresses (57.1%) and forced sex (42.9%). Conclusion: Children and adolescents placed in an unfavorable social-economic context, under the care of mothers with a history of use and abuse of alcohol and other drugs, are more vulnerable to intra-domiciliary violence.

The violence, understood as the violation of human rights, is considered as a global, current, complex, polysemic phenomenon, and occurs in a heterogeneous and asymmetrical way, practiced by individuals against other individuals. It assumes different contexts and different impacts on the social, political and cultural relations [1] . On the one hand, the media and its expressive vehicles report about poor living conditions, vulnerability and human security; on the other hand, after a few minutes of sensationalism, the suffering of the victims and their families are doomed to mediatic oblivion [2] .
Epidemiological data indicate a significant increase in morbidity and mortality resulting from violence in recent decades, both in industrialized countries, such as Brazil [3] . In the spectrum of the victims of all kinds of violence committed by family and non-family members, there are children and adolescents, emerging as one of the most exposed and vulnerable to violations of their rights, directly and indirectly affecting their physical, mental and emotional health [4] .
Violence against children and adolescents in Brazil is not a state, but rather a process that takes many faces and nuances, and is present in every action or omission capable of causing injury, damage and inconvenience to the full development of children and adolescents [5] . In other words, one can say that occasional cases of violence to these people could be due to an asymmetric and unequal power relationship, manifested by physical force, by economic or political power, for domination and family or generational oppression. This violence can come to configure also structurally, that is, the implementation of educational, health or economic policies which don't offer any kind of contribution or even prevent the growth and development of children [4] .
The scenario or itinerary of violence often begins within domestic space and passes through schools and their surroundings, the community and other institutions, as terminating sources and conditions that produce violence. The physical, social, emotional and cognitive burden of the victims may permanently compromise children and adolescents. The perverse effects may incur construction of a violent playback circle and feedback, because it is recognized that children and adolescents tend to reproduce what they live through their play, attitudes and learning, corroborating other pairs to become the main victims of violent actions [4] [6] .
In Brazil, since 2001, the notification of violence involving children, adolescents, women and elderlies has been mandatory in order to provide visibility to the problem, and characterize its magnitude, size, specificity and complexity to fight this problem. It was implemented by the Ministry of Health through the Diseases Notification Information System-SINAN (Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação in Portuguese) in 2009 [7] . It is noteworthy that the focus of this study concerns the violence of children and adolescents.
This type of measure taken by the Unified Health System in Brazil contributes to the formulation of public policies with inter-sectorial, inter-institutional, interdisciplinary and networking actions. For this, the collecting must be universal, continuous and compulsory in situations of violence [8] . Notifying violence should be understood as an instrument that goes beyond the mere collection of epidemiological information. It should, therefore, be seen as one of the instruments to guarantee rights, to preserve the health and life and to articulate and integrate the social protection and the comprehensive health care network, following the line of health care [4] .
A characteristic of the domestic violence against children and adolescents is the omission of parents, relatives or any other people who are responsible for these individual's custody, which may cause damage or suffering―physical, sexual or psychological―also negligence (the most frequently cause of notifications reported), and falls unequally on race, gender, age and other factors. It is considered as an act rooted Brazilian culture historically proven. However, this phenomenon lacks a more comprehensive statistic, a significant fact [9] .
It is clear that the seriousness and scope of this issue in so far as this study seeks to better understand the phenomenon in order to support decision-making aimed at prevention and control, in addition to supporting other studies. From this premise, based on experience and coexistence in the Child and Adolescent Protection Service―SOS CHILD, which belongs to the State Foundation for Children and Adolescents of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil (FUNDAC/RN), the question is: What are the epidemiological characteristics of children and adolescents victims of violence assisted at the emergency rooms in the city of Natal and referred to children and adolescents' protection agencies?
In this sense, the present study aimed to describe the epidemiological profile of children and adolescents victims of domestic violence reported by SOS CHILD.
2. Method
This is an epidemiological, descriptive and cross-sectional study. The descriptive epidemiology analyzes how the incidence (new cases) or prevalence (existing cases) of certain disease or condition related to health varies according to certain characteristics, such as gender, age, educational attainment and income, among others [10] .
The research was developed with all the children and adolescents attended by the SOS CHILD Service, in the city of Natal, capital of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil, who were victims of domestic violence, from September 15th to December 31st, 2013. To characterize the study population, the WHO classification criteria was adopted [11] , in which the child's age goes from zero to less than 10 years and adolescence goes from 10 to 19 years old.
In this sense, the following inclusion criteria were established: children and/or adolescents from zero to 19; residents in the metropolitan area of Natal/RN; referred and treated at the SOS CHILD in the second half of 2013; victims of domestic violence. Unconfirmed cases and individuals who refused to participate were excluded. Therefore, the sample consisted of 69 subjects, included in a non-probabilistic way, by convenience.
The data were collected by two instruments, namely: 1) information contained in the guides that accompany the victims and in the register of spreadsheet reports used and treated at SOS CHILD; 2) and a form applied to the child, when possible, and to the legal guardians/companion of the victim, which, besides complementing the information on the victim, his/her family and the aggressor, gave information about the circumstances of the violence. The data were collected after the researchers provided detailed information on the investigation and signature of the Informed Consent Form by the parents or legal guardians.
It was submitted to the Research Ethics Committee of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (CEP-UFRN) protocol number 139/2011, CAAE number 0166.0.051.000-11, in accordance with the provisions of Resolution number 196/1996 of the Brazil National Health Council (CNS), valid at the development of the research. However, the current resolution is number 466/2012/CNS.
For constructing the databases, the statistical treatment of the software Microsoft Office Excel 2013® was used to descriptively summarize the data with absolute frequencies and percentiles, presented by tables.
In the studied period, the SOS CHILD of Natal/RN tended 69 cases of violence against children. After data analysis, it was observed that the impact of violence on children and adolescents are presented under three points of view: the victim, the offender and the types of violence. It is noteworthy that the boundaries among the causes that support the violence are so precarious that they are didactically presented in order to clarify and understand as a provisional and recent result of the child and adolescent victimization process.
The victim―Table 1 shows that most of the victims of domestic violence were female (56.5%), mostly aged from one to 11 years (66.7%), with minimum age of two days, and maximum age of 16 years. The majority attended school/kindergarten (52.2%). They lived with one of the parents (43.5%), in Natal, and the West Zone had the highest number of notifications (44.9%).
The aggressor―Table 2 shows that most of the aggressors were female (60.9%), with predominant age groups of 14 - 23 years and 34 - 43 years, with the same percentage (24.6%), with educational attainment of no literacy/basic education (65.2%), unemployed (53.6%), with a history of alcohol use and abuse (42.0%). As for the kinship with the victims, the mother was the most frequent (34.7%).
Types of violence―Table 3 shows the types of violence reported by SOS CHILD. The physical violence (62.3%), followed by psychological (60.8%), was the most frequent. Among physical violence, the most frequent were slaps (43.2%) and punches (18.9%). Concerning psychological violence, the most frequent were offenses (35.4%) and abuse (27.8%). Among the most common disregards were omission of care (73.5%) and deprivation of care for personal appearance (18.4%). The reported sexual violence was submission to sexual caresses (57.1%) and forced sex (42.9%).
According to the World Report on Violence and Health [12] , researches about the subject showed that cases of abuse occur more intensively in poor areas where there is little

institutional support. This was evident when one observes greater number of cases in the western area of Natal, known as an area of unfavorable socioeconomic conditions and with a significant number of children and adolescents in situations of social vulnerability and risk of illness and death [13] .
The rise and persistence of cases of violence and prevalence of female victims are consistent with other studies about the subject, which show a higher frequency of violence among female children and adolescents [14] [15] .
Other studies show a higher number of cases of abuse against children in an age group higher than the one found in this series. Thus, the violence to which children are exposed is inversely proportional to their age, based on the defense disability, long periods at home, physical and emotional fragility, and dependence on their parents and/ or caregivers, making them an easy target [5] [16] .
The World Report on Violence and Health, 2002 [12] , relates age and sex of children as factors that enhance vulnerability to child abuse. Regarding age, the indexes show that cases of physical abuse vary from country to country and in the case of sexual abuse, these rates tend to rise after the onset of puberty reaching the highest rates particularly during adolescence, although also found in younger children. Regarding the victim's gender, its prevalence depends on the type of abuse, being girls 1.5 to 3 times more likely to abuse than boys, who, in turn, are more likely to severe physical punishment.
Several studies have identified a higher proportion of victims in lower social strata. The attackers are mainly family members or colleagues, especially parents [4] [14] [15] .
For some authors, the association between family structure and well-being of children has been the subject of studies, especially in developed countries, where there are researches to measure the importance of family, education and parental behavior in quality of life, being determinant factors in physical and mental health of children [17] .
In 2009, IBGE expanded its knowledge of different risk and protection factors to the health of adolescents through the National Health Research of the School, conducted with students from the ninth grade of elementary school in the cities and capitals and the Federal District. In relation to the family, it was shown that 58.3% of respondents lived in households with presence of both parents, 31.9% of the total lived only with their mothers, 4.6% lived only with their fathers and 5.2% lived without their parents in residence [13] .
The parents' low educational attainment parents has been suggested by some authors as family/social risk factors associated with the occurrence of domestic violence [4] . There is no consensus in the literature about the predominant type of domestic violence; however, some authors refer to supremacy in physical violence [18] . Nevertheless, statistics from various municipalities, conducted by the Laboratory of Child Studies of the Institute of Psychology of the University of São Paulo [19] suggest different results, demonstrating, at first, negligence (41.1%), followed by physical violence (31.0%), psychological violence (16.6%) and, finally, sexual assault (10.9%). The data on domestic violence against children and adolescents obtained in SOS CHILD in Natal/RN, in just three months in the second half of 2011, with 69 reported cases, show a significant demand for this event, highlighting the victim's fear to denounce, setting the "silence policy" of communities and family.
The greater visibility and severity of the problem and greater number of reporting by professionals from different services of reference and care to children and adolescents in Natal/RN/BR may explain the fact.
Violence against children and adolescents is a phenomenon that has accompanied the history of mankind and still seems to be rooted in contemporary societies. Patriarchy, gender violence, economic problems, ethnic and low education are some of the factors that have a close relationship with this kind of violence [15] .
Regarding the affected anatomical structure or body site, many of the characteristics of the violent situations experienced by children and adolescents depends on the stage of their life cycle, time, place and social group [7] . Specialists in Legal Medicine claim that soft tissue lesions occur in 80% - 100% of cases of domestic violence against children and adolescents. These data corroborate this study, highlighting the head as the main location for distribution of these lesions [20] .
According to the results of the study on the increase in notification percentage performed by health professionals, among the reports, health professionals are those who most refer suspected and confirmed cases to SOS CHILD [21] . Among other causes, the creation of the Ministry of Health Ordinance [22] [23] may explain this fact, as it made mandatory the reporting by all health professionals of suspected and/or confirmed domestic and sexual violence, significantly contributing to break the "silence pact" in the context of abuse against children and adolescents.
Despite the advances in the legal field, such as the Adolescent and Child Laws and Ordinances of the Ministry of Health, studies also highlight a high under-reporting of violence, also considering it a problem that requires solution in Brazil. These studies point to the need for political and administrative decisions as the implementation of epidemiological surveillance activities that act in a more active and targeted manner in order to present positive results regarding the systematization and visibility of reported cases.
It is also emphasized the importance of constructing "Institutional Networks" that integrate existing services and with policies to enable funds to be allocated to vocational training in identifying, reporting and referring, concerning the cases, providing the implementation of effective strategies to interrupt the victimization cycle [18] .
Besides favoring a particular view of the research population group, the epidemiological profile outlined with children and adolescents who are victims of domestic violence reveals a harsh reality, concluding that, regarding the epidemiological profile of the victims, female children and adolescents, experiencing early childhood, under the responsibility of parents, cared by female adolescent and young adults who use and abuse alcohol and other drugs, have more chances of suffering physical violence, followed by psychological and sexual abuse. The social-economic context and social vulnerability are also factors that influence on the chances of suffering any type of violence.
This study aimed to subsidize the formulation of a system to intervene, socially control and sensitize about the problem of violence against children and adolescents. From this effort, it intends to ensure the empowerment of state and civil society organizations that seek to develop strategies to promote safety and prevention/support to child and adolescent victims of intra- or extra-domestic violence in the most vulnerable areas.
Among other contributions, it also allows a diagnosis of the local reality to support the formulation of state projects and public policies to confront and prevent violence that compromises growth and healthy development of children and adolescents and that finally allows breaking the cycle of such violence.
This study presents some limitations, such as: coverage area; limited time and a small number of individuals researched; however, these elements do not imply less importance or relevance to the understanding of the violence phenomenon by the Protection Department of Natal/RN, Brazil. These evidences point for future studies and the implementation of an educational work along with people and/or SOS CHILD professionals.
It is also emphasized the urgent need to create and integrate a support social network embedded in the proper context to interact, thus, may promote a culture of peace and prevention of violence grievance in a systematic way, with the support of institutions and sectors responsible for the care and protection of these victims.

Recently I had the privilege of visiting Tokyo in March, amidst the beauty of coldly shy blossoms in Ueno Park, for an intercultural music gathering of Australian and Japanese composers. The formal occasion was the Japan Federation of Composers and Melbourne Composers League collaboratively organised concert entitled, "Asian Tradition/Asian Contemporary 2017—Mysterious instrument from Australia—Didgeridoo" in the prestigious Millennium Hall, Taito City on the 29th March 2017.
With my long-term friends Andrián and Katia Pertout accompanying me, there was opportunity to share things such as the rich sonic and visual experience that opened up for us through rehearsals at one of the oldest universities in Japan—Tokyo University of the Arts—and at the concert in the sonorous wood paneled auditorium in Taito—Millennium Hall. Dancing sounds of interweaving flutes in Isao Matsushita's Time of Birds (two flutes) duo flourish, naturally birdsong and fluent compositional virtuosity of life sounds, sat in balance with Namatjira Morgan's rich didgeridoo tones in perfect undulating dialogue with seasoned Tokyo performer Jun-ichiro Taku's flute virtuosity, in Rui Ogawa's virtuosic duo moSaic aQua (flute and didgeridoo). Namatjira's own solo composition, Didgeridoo Improvisation, spoke of emergent noise breaking to life in his didgeridoo extemporization, which was formed as a beautifully shaped triangular envelope of sound that was played with skill and sensitivity as an Australian blossom moment in the concert's flow of time.
Melbourne composers Andrián Pertout and Johanna Selleck continued the dialogue with the transcendent floating and interaction of sounds of the earlier work, Un'impressione nel tempo (contrabass flute, viola, harp and didgeridoo), and guttural urgency and rawness of rebellious sound in the latter, Hoon! Black Cockatoo (contrabass/alto flute, viola, harp and yidaki [didgeridoo])—both works capturing the timelessness and strength of the Australian landscape. Japanese composer Kaori Nabeshima's beautifully transcendent floating piece From the Horizon (bass flute, viola and harp), wafted with Debussian-like sensitivity born of spring blossom awareness, especially amidst its sonorous sonorities but at times toughly constructed sinewy sound world.
My own solo harp work Emergence from Darkness, opened the concert with emergent noise tones evolving into virtuosic, momentary flourishes in a distilled meditative structure; its line and ebb and flow of passing moments were beautifully handled by Tokyo harpist Takano Reine—at once fragile sensitivity and vigorous kinetic virtuosity that suggested her Paris training and natural sense of time-flow of sound.
The Tokyo audience met these moments of undulating time-flow in Millennium Hall with joy, exhilaration and careful consideration of the sonic bloom moments. Intercultural unfolding of Japanese and Australian sounds dialogued together, across moments, and in a fragile envelope of time passing in the ancient seat of poetic expression, that is Basho's moment territory of Ueno.

"Łódź Art Center" Międzynarodowe Centrum Sztuki w Łodzi – kulturalno-artystyczny ośrodek działający w kompleksie pofabrycznym przy ul. Tymienieckiego 3 w Łodzi.

Historia i działalność
Centrum powstało w roku 2005 z inicjatywy Fundacji Edukacji Wizualnej oraz artystów związanych z Międzynarodowym Muzeum Artystów. Wydarzenia tu organizowane – zwłaszcza Łódź Biennale czy Fotofestiwal – udowodniły, że industrialna atmosfera sprzyja projektom kulturalnym.
Łódź Art Center powstało w 9 halach o łącznej powierzchni ponad 8 tys. m2 odrestaurowanej, XIX-wiecznej fabryki – części dawnego imperium Karola Scheiblera. Odnowione pomieszczenia zdobyły tytuł "Wnętrza Roku 2004" przyznawany przez łódzkich architektów za najlepszą rewitalizację zabytków.

Poza cyklicznymi wydarzeniami w Łódź Art Center odbywają się wystawy indywidualne, wernisaże, konferencje i warsztaty edukacyjne. Do najsłynniejszych festiwali organizowanych na terenie Centrum Artystycznego Tymienieckiego 3 należy Międzynarodowy Festiwal Fotografii w Łodzi – Fotofestiwal oraz działający od 2007 roku Międzynarodowy Festiwal Designu – Lodz Design. Centrum organizuje także projekty artystyczne i promocyjne wspólnie z instytucjami kultury z Łodzi i innych miast polskich. Jednym z podstawowych elementów jest współpraca z miastami partnerskimi, zagranicznymi galeriami oraz indywidualnymi kuratorami.

Fundacja Łódź Art Center jest również inicjatorem i jednym z partnerów (wspólnie z Urzędem Miasta Łodzi i Stowarzyszeniem Chorea) powołania Art Inkubatora w Łodzi.

Łódź Art Center tworzone jest przez grupę animatorów kultury, specjalistów od promocji i kuratorów, którzy w swoich działaniach zmierzają do utrwalenia wizerunku Łodzi jako miasta nowoczesnego i przyjaznego kulturze. Najistotniejszym posunięciem w tym kierunku były starania o zdobycie tytułu Łódź – Europejska Stolica Kultury 2016. Inicjatorami tego przedsięwzięcia byli Krzysztof Candrowicz i Michał Piernikowski.
