Phronimos Seminar Series 2: Resonance Ethics
Spiritual Ways for a Global Society
The Movement of Transcendental Humanism and some of its Key Perspectives
Drs. Leon Alexander is an anthropological researcher for the Phronimos Foundation. He has studied the life and work of contemporary mystic and writer Abbahjí for over two decades, in its social, cultural and psychological applications.
He received his master in Cultural Anthropology from Leyden University, with a thesis on the way of Abbahjí and its relevance for contemporary West-European society (The Beautiful Mystic; an anthropological study of a mystic path in contexts of Western culture).
His academic interest includes mysticism, ethics, religion, the history of ideas and phenomenological studies, with a regional emphasis on Europe and its Asian dialogue. Additionally he takes an interest in ancient traditions as Zoroastrianism and Confucianism as expressions of Asian thought and he is a follower of global patterns of geopolitics.
Starting from the premise that the European social structure has come to lack a manifest spiritual dimension, his aim is to investigate in which ways spirituality may find its way back into the social fabric of everyday life. He sees this as also relevant for processes as globalisation and Eurasia integration. The work of Abbahjí is important in this respect, as his mission is to reshape an ancient spiritual way in order to be applicable for people living in contemporary Western culture and the Globalising world, in which context he sees spirituality as an inherent psychological attribute.
Leon Alexander met Abbahjí in the beginning of his studies and became involved with his Way. He lived as a monk in a community founded by Abbahjí for ten years. He continues studying the development of Abbahjí's work in proximity, he lectures and writes series of papers. He has had the possibility of conducting regular interviews with Abbahjí and has access to the complete archives of his writings.
The Phronimos Research Program includes the following Pillars:
Study of the work of Abbahjí / Frédéric Antonious in Continuous Evolving
Abbahjí is engaged in continuous writing and refining his expression. The researchers are tasked to study this work realtime, analyse its developments and the way it shapes the overall paradigm.
The Applications of the Way of Abbahjí in Practise
Applications in individual, social, and cultural practises. Including from psychological and phenomenological angles. A School of Practical Wisdom.
The History of Western Thought and Cross-cultural Comparison of thought
To raise awareness of the universality of ideas; the spiritual heritage of mankind; and to analyse how different modes of thinking shape people and shape a society.
Global Patters of Geopolitics
To understand the current global processes in the interrelation between civilisations, states, economic, societal and cultural configurations. To understand the directions in which the world is heading and how the ethics of resonance can bring light to potential solutions.
Delft City Philosopher
A project in a Dutch city, exploring ways in which compassionate philosophical-spiritual thinking can engage social issues in a local community.

Q: How to prevent inner html elements from capturing JavaScript events? On my computer, the described issue only happens in Chrome and Opera (and not in IE or Firefox). But I think it is related rather to JavaScript than to any specific browser.
Here is the fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/JN37b/
html:

one

two

three

JavaScript:
$('ul').mouseout(function() {
    event.stopPropagation(); //this just for testing
    alert('out');
});

and some CSS..
It looks like this:

When you hover the mouse (in Chrome or Opera) over the red block (which is
), and move the mouse horizontally over the smaller blue boxes (which are
), then the alert box appears. This means that the mouseout event was fired on the
 element.
Question: how to prevent the
 from capturing the mouse, make them transparent for this event, so that the mouseout event only happens when the mouse completely leaves the
 area?
I tried event.stopPropagation(); but it is useless, because it works in the opposite direction.

A: By using the mouseleave event instead
$('ul').mouseleave(function() {
    alert('out');
});

Q: "It is in this house that he was born" vs "where" I strongly believe that "It is in this house that he was born." is correct but I am struggling to explain why we cannot use "... where he was born." Here is my explanation below. Is my reasoning correct?
Because of "in."  Where were you born?  "I was born in London." = "London is where I was born." = "It is London where I was born." = "It is in London that I was born."

A: Nothing to do with 'in' I think.
Both are correct, but have subtly different meaning.  'It is in this house that he was born' is a complete statement.  It's a long-winded way of saying 'He was born in this house', with added emphasis that he was born in THIS house, not any other.
'It is in this house where he was born' demands continuation - 'It is in this house where he was born that he first saw a rabbit'.  Probably surrounding the modifying phrase with commas would be good.  'It is in this house, where he was born, that he first saw a rabbit'
You could also have the neutral statements 'This is the house where he was born'.   Or 'This is the house in which he was born'.   Or, somewhat antique, 'This is the house wherein he was born'. Or, slightly less ungramatically but colloquially perfectly OK, 'This is the house he was born in'.   If your tutors object to this last one, tell them a native English speaker says they're being unnecessarily pedantic!

Shift Indo-China ties: How India can use economic nationalism to break dependence on Chinese goods
The Atmanirbhar Bharat scheme could give a much-needed fillip to disrupted business operations by promoting household manufacturing, and encouraging local substitution of imports.
Anupama Kumari
India and China are two major nuclear powers in the world, and are also the two most populous countries. Both the countries have the fastest growing major economies in the world with mutual economic and cultural interdependence.
The modern relationship between India and China began in 1950s. The relationships between contemporary China and India have been defined mainly by border disputes following the Indian independence. There was little trade and strategic partnership between the two countries; and the economic relationship was getting adversely affected by tensions faced by the Indian defense forces on the India-China border in the middle of the twentieth century.
However, since the late 1980s, the countries have successfully rebuilt diplomatic and economic ties which ultimately resulted in China becoming India's largest trading partner. In February 2019, India imported more than USD 62 billion worth of goods from China between April 2019 and February 2020, and exported around USD 15.5 billion worth of products (india.gov.in). According to Rejaul Karim Lashkar, an expert in Indian foreign policy in the 21st century, "Currently the two countries are cooperating on a range of International issues like trade, climate change, and reforms of global financial order, among others, to promote common interest."
But the past is repeating itself in 2020. Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, the Chinese military forces clashed with Indian army, which is being seen as a turning point in India's bilateral relationships with China. A "violent face-off "occurred in June 2020 in the Galwan Valley in Ladakh, where military forces from both the countries clashed, resulting in casualties to both sides. Speaking to CNBC Nirupama Rao, India's ambassador to China between 2006 to 2009, said "This is definitely a turning point in the Bilateral relationship from India's side, but I would not call it a breaking point". According to many experts, this is true because if we see the India's exposure to China, it is quite asymmetric in terms of trade and investment. That is why decoupling and disengagement from China is not an easy task. They added that It will be tough for India to suddenly reduce trade and economic ties with China as India imported four times more goods and services than it exported to China.
The good that are imported from china are as follows: First, regarding capital goods, Indian manufacturing is dependent on supplies from China. This includes a wide variety of machinery, including electrical machinery, semiconductor driven machinery etc. We also import fertilizers from China. The primary hurdle is that there are a number of imports which are essential. For example, humidifiers which are being used in the COVID-19 battle, are again mainly sourced from China. For medical masks too China is the main source. Even liquid soap, which is much in demand across the country today, again happens to be mainly sourced from China. We need to prioritise areas where India can move back from its dependency on China. Our approach should be to develop sector wise specific strategies.
In recent weeks, anti-China sentiment has risen in India, with people calling for a boycott of Chinese products. This is bound to affect the growing market of Chinese products in India. New Delhi had already introduced restrictive measures on Chinese Foreign Direct Investments before the June border clash. The current escalation in border dispute with China can also be seen as a factor of India's increased closeness to allies like the USA, Japan, Australia, and Russia, in cultural and economic segments.
As tension increased at Indo-China border, Indian government on June 29, 2020 banned 59 apps of Chinese origin. The ministry said that "it has decided to block the 59 apps for data security and to safeguard the sovereignty and Integrity of India ", under article 69A of IT act. This step will affect the of Indian economy too as investments of up to $1 billion by these apps in India will remain suspended. India not only cancelled orders for 'faulty' rapid test kits, it revised FDI policy to curb opportunistic takeover of Indian companies, aimed at China. The Atmanirbhar Bharat scheme could give a much-needed fillip to the country's disrupted business operations by promoting household manufacturing, encouraging local substitution of imports of low-technology goods from other countries, particularly China.
The Rs 20-lakh-crore stimulus package announced by the government focuses on tax breaks for small businesses, as well as incentives for domestic manufacturing. The Rs 3-lakh-crore collateral-free assistance handed out to MSMEs will help fasten their operations. This move could help recover India's factory output, which registered low productivity in March with the Index of Industrial Production contracting 16.7%. Manufacturing sector output also reduced to 20% in March, while electricity generation shrank almost 7%. All categories of manufacturing industries showed a contraction in production in March, with the worst affected being auto (50% decline) and computer & electronic products sectors (fell almost 42%). China's agriculture and consumable items like tea, horticulture and floriculture could also see a big downfall. So, investment in the food processing sector could be a big opportunity for India as trade could move out of China.
There is a strong mood for economic nationalism across the country. Self-dependent, specially for necessary goods and health items, is crucial for any country. India will have to dig deep into its resources to become a self-reliable economy. The COVID-19 pandemic too has taught us to shift our focus towards increasing domestic production. Such changes throughout the Indian economy in all the three sectors are going to be the new normal with consumers choosing "Vocal for Local" over Chinese chattel.

Love-teaching robot launched
Cutting-edge technology news and industry features with GMX
A robot has been launched which can teach humans how to be compassionate.
Japanese startup Groove X unveiled the Lovot on Tuesday (18.12.18) in Tokyo.
Whilst the automated companion is able to help humans with their housework, the company's CEO, Kaname Hayashi, says it's main aim is to "draw out your ability to love".
Lovebot, which is priced at £2,500 and looks like a toy penguin, uses AI (Artificial Intelligence) to interact with emotions.
The robot even falls asleep when cuddle and shown affection.
Hayashi previously worked on Pepper, SoftBank's robot which has been revived as a cleaning robot.
The tech giant are known for creating the world's first funeral robot - a Buddhist priest in robot form - and they unveiled Whiz, a floor-cleaning machine for businesses, which will go on sale in February.
Weighing in at 32 kilograms, the machine is powered by self-driving software by startup Brain Corp, which is part of SoftBank's $1 billion Vision Fund, and isn't quite as chatty as its predecessor.
Companies will be able to hire out Whiz for 25,000 yen ($221) a month.
That's less than talkative robot Pepper, which costs 50,000 yen (about $450) for each funeral.
During the launch for the new robot in Tokyo on Monday (19.11.18), Eugene Izhikevich, founder and chief executive of Brain, commented: "At Brain, we want to see the future where robots are everywhere.
"We want to enable this revolution."

Gilchrist Foundation Grant
The Gilchrist Foundation, which is administered by Security National Bank-Sioux City, awarded Mid America Museum of Aviation & Transportation a $71,000 grant for museum taxiway repair and security gate update. As our members and friends may know, Mid America Museum of Aviation & Transportation has a security gate access to the Sioux Gateway Airport runways which allow us to bring aircraft to the museum. Lately, the condition of the taxiway has deteriorated on our side and on the municipal airport side of the gate to the point of non-use. The grant received will allow MAMAT to mill blacktop overcoat on our side of the gate and start the resurfacing project as well as filling open cracks in the concrete panels. Plus, we will replace the current 30 foot wide gate with a more appropriate size to facilitate easier aircraft access. The north-south parking lot in front of the museum building is 76 year old concrete poured as one of two runways for the 'new' Sioux City Airport in 1939. Also, Runway 22, which was part of the airport expansion in early 1942, when the Sioux City Army Air Base was built for World War II, will receive some updating. The continuing expansion and updates at Sioux Gateway Airport will facilitate improvements of the taxiways on the city portion of the project. The Mid America Museum is truly grateful to the Gilchrist Foundation for the start of this project. Additional funds will be required to complete the estimated $140,000.00 milling, resurfacing, crack sealing and and gate replacement project.

For over 300 years, Japan closed itself to outsiders, developing a remarkable and unique culture. During its period of isolation, the inhabitants of the city of Edo, later known as Tokyo, relied on its public bells to tell the time. In her remarkable book, Anna Sherman tells of her search for the bells of Edo, exploring the city of Tokyo and its inhabitants and the individual and particular relationship of Japanese culture - and the Japanese language - to time, tradition, memory, impermanence and history.
Through Sherman's journeys around the city and her friendship with the owner of a small, exquisite cafe, who elevates the making and drinking of coffee to an art-form, The Bells of Old Tokyo presents a series of hauntingly memorable voices in the labyrinth that is the metropolis of the Japanese capital: An aristocrat plays in the sea of ashes left by the Allied firebombing of 1945. A scientist builds the most accurate clock in the world, a clock that will not lose a second in five billion years. A sculptor eats his father's ashes while the head of the house of Tokugawa reflects on the destruction of his grandfather's city ('A lost thing is lost. To chase it leads to darkness').
The result is a book that not only engages with the striking otherness of Japanese culture like no other, but that also marks the arrival of a dazzling new writer as she presents an absorbing and alluring meditation on life through an exploration of a great city and its people.
The Bells of Old Tokyo is part personal memoir, part cultural history, but wholly unique. The fragile, fragmentary poetry of its prose so beautifully captures the transience of Tokyo time, the constant cycle of destruction and reconstruction, and the nostalgia for that which has been lost and yet wonder at all that remains to be found. It is the best book I have read about Tokyo written this century, and deserves to take its place alongside the works of Donald Richie, Edward Seidensticker and Paul Waley as one of the great interpretations of this great city.
If a more soulful and original book on Japan has been published in the past few years, I haven't seen it. Anna Sherman ventures deep into the land and its silences with an attention to the spaces between words, a lightly worn erudition and a poetic grace – a feel for all that she doesn't have to say – that any of the rest of us might envy. This is the rare book that looks past the zany and clashing surfaces of Japan to excavate its heart, and everything we'll never be able to explain about the place, even as we bow before it.
A tour-de-force mapping, in four dimensions, of the amazing place we call "Tokyo." I realized I barely know the city . . . So much is dealt with so beautifully – Mishima, the 1945 firebombs, the tangle that is Shinjuku . . . Wonderful . . .


June 23 (UPI) — Pakistani Taliban on Saturday named the successor of their leader killed in a drone strike last week.
"Like his predecessors Baitullah Mehsud and Hakimullah Mehsud, Mullah Fazlullah was killed in a U.S. drone strike," TTP's central spokesperson Umar Khurasani said in a statement to The Tribune Express.
Fazlullah had led Pakistan's Taliban since 2013. Before his death, he was believed to have ordered the attempted assassination of the women's rights activist and Nobel Prize winner Malala Yousafazi.

Frequency Downshifting from April 12th. My apologies for the recording error. For about 40 mins of the recording starting about 10mins into the show. The recording malfunctions and and there are alot of small skips in the audio. I spent a few hours at home trying to first edit then re-record parts. Without the proper equipment this just lead to my frustration. Eventually I decided I had wasted TOO much time and just laid down the recording as it was malfuctions and everything.

There is GHs.50 fee for GHAMRO membership for either author/composer or GHs.400 publisher applicants.
· 'Broadcast' means transmission by a television or radio broadcasting station and/or inclusion in a cable programme.
· 'Film', which includes videograms (whether in the form of cassettes or discs) as well as cinematograph films as defined by the Copyright Act 690.
iv. the work has been recorded on the soundtrack of a film which has been released for public exploitation.
Provisional and Associate author membership may be terminated if no royalties at all are credited to the author over a five year period. Provisional publisher members whose royalties have not exceeded an aggregate of Ghs.500 over five years may also be terminated.
Copyright in musical works lasts for the lifetime of the author (or in the case of co-written works, the lifetime of the last surviving contributor) and for 70 years following their death. On the death of a member, GHAMRO should be notified as soon as possible so that it can be established to whom future royalties should be paid. Under the company's Articles of Association membership of GHAMRO ceases upon death. Will continue to pay royalties to the deceased members' next of kin until December 31st of the seventh year following their death, or until a successor member is admitted, whichever is the earlier.
GHAMRO will admit to Successor membership persons eligible under the Articles of Association. Admission is carried out in such a way as to cause the royalties to be paid in accordance with the will or operation of law. Whatever arrangements are made, GHAMRO is strictly accountable to pay royalties to the executors in the first instance and then to the Successor member, if one is elected. If the deceased does not leave a will, the law prescribes who is to inherit his or her assets, including royalty payments from GHAMRO. GHAMRO is bound by the law. Therefore, in the absence of a valid will all royalties will be paid to those legally entitled.
The legal charges for making a will are quite small, and GHAMRO strongly advises that members make a will and recommend that a solicitor should be consulted as this is not always a straightforward process. Successors to Provisional members are initially admitted to Provisional membership, whereas Successors to Associate or Full members are admitted to Associate membership (unless in the case of a deceased Full member the royalties over the last three years had fulfilled the criteria for Full Publisher membership). Once elected, Provisional Successor members are promoted to Associate membership status under the same criteria as living Author members, and Associate Successor members are promoted to Full membership status in accordance with the criteria for Publisher members.
Unless a Successor member is elected, GHAMRO's control of the rights in unpublished works will cease upon the expiry of the seven year period following the death of the last surviving interested party in the works. As regards published works, payment to the publishers will normally continue after the expiry of the seven year period, and include the former Author share. The executors of the last member would no longer be entitled to receive that Author share direct.
In conclusion, members should ensure that they have made a valid will specifically bequeathing their royalties (if appropriate), and to also include that a direction is given to close family and/or legal advisors to notify GHAMRO immediately after their death so that the above procedures can be put into effect swiftly.


In the wake of Trump adviser Kellyann Conway's instantly controversial 'alternative facts' statement, dystopian books began to fly off the shelf.
After incorrect or unprovable statements made by Republican President Donald Trump and some White House aides, one truth is undeniable: Sales of George Orwell's "1984" are soaring.
First published in 1949, Orwell's classic dystopian tale of a society in which facts are distorted and suppressed in a cloud of "newspeak" topped the best-seller list of Amazon.com as of Tuesday evening. The sales bump comes after the Trump administration's assertions his inauguration had record attendance and his unfounded allegation that millions of illegal votes were cast against him last fall.
Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway coined an instant catchphrase Sunday when she called his claims about crowd size "alternative facts," bringing comparisons on social media to "1984."
Orwell's book isn't the only cautionary tale on the Amazon list. Sinclair Lewis' 1935 novel about the election of an authoritarian president, "It Can't Happen Here," was at No. 46. Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World" was at No. 71.
Sales also were up for Hannah Arendt's seminal nonfiction analysis "The Origins of Totalitarianism."


1873. After the wife of a local aristocrat goes missing, Wakefield and Hollander are hired to track her down and bring her home. The intrepid occultists soon discover that she's given herself to a local vampire in retaliation for the way her pompous, misogynistic husband treats her, and doesn't plan on coming home quietly.

V. Newsreel item on English schoolboys pulling flax in their holidays as part of the harvest, September 1918.
Mr Gompers with two other labour leaders comes up the ladder and onto the quarterdeck of HMS Queen Elizabeth. Admiral Sir David Beatty is there with his staff to shake hands and meet him.
The King and Queen leave their cars and enter the fields where the sports are being held. A Canadian pipe band marches past. The sports begin with a sprint race, followed by a shot-put. The King talks with the Canadian officers. A pole vault is shown. The Queen talks with her own companions.
The honour guard of French soldiers is drawn up outside a railway station. Pershing (no good shot of him) walks past reviewing them.
Mrs Long was drowned when the hospital ship SS Warilda was torpedoed by a U-boat on 3rd August. Contingents representing various women's organisations, including the WAAC, the Land Army and the Girl Guides, file up the steps and into the church for the service. After the service Lieutenant-General Sir Francis Lloyd and Lieutenant-General Sir Nevil Macready leave the church.
A lorry takes the boys from outside their public school, and out to the fields. There they gather flax under the supervision of an adult. The man takes a bundle of flax and separates it into fibres for the camera's benefit.

A: I had this same issue once.
WordPress ships with its own version of the jQuery library.
Try using "jQuery" instead of just "$" sign.
For example:
var svg = $("#svg-container"); should be replaced with var svg = jQuery("#svg-container");

A: Use jQuery instead of the "$" sign. ex: jQuery("#svg-container");

Union asks refinery workers to strike after talks break down
By Associated Press Feb 1, 2015, 6:49pm MST
Share All sharing options for: Union asks refinery workers to strike after talks break down
Representatives from Deer Park United Steelworkers Local 13-1 hold picket signs outside the Shell Deer Park Refinery as the Union calls for strikes against the Shell refinery and chemical plants in Deer Park, Texas, Sunday, Feb. 1, 2015. The Courier, Kirk Sides, Associated Press
The United Steelworkers Union called for its refinery workers to stage their largest walkout in more 30 years Sunday, saying its negotiations with Shell Oil Co. broke down less than two weeks after they began.
The union asked about 3,800 workers at nine refineries mostly in Texas and California to strike shortly after their previous contract expired after midnight.
Negotiations over a new contract started Jan. 21. The call for a strike happened after United Steelworkers, or USW, rejected Shell's fourth contract offer. The union said Shell refused to provide a counter offer and that the company's representatives had left the bargaining table.
"We had no choice but to give notice of a work stoppage," USW International President Leo W. Gerard said in a statement.
A Shell representative said in an email that the company remains "committed to resolving our differences with USW at the negotiating table to reach a mutually satisfactory agreement."
USW Spokeswoman Lynne Hancock said the union wants a three-year contract and is focused on health care costs, safety, the use of contractors and staffing concerns, as well as wages.
United Steelworkers represents about 30,000 workers at refineries, terminals, petrochemical plants and pipelines across the country. Shell is serving as the lead company in national oil bargaining talks with the union.
Any agreement reached between the union and Shell would then be used as a pattern for negotiations involving local unions.
The union called for a strike at the Marathon Galveston Bay Refinery in Texas City, Texas, the Shell Deer Park Refinery in Deer Park, Texas, and the Tesoro Carson Refinery in Carson, California, among other locations.
Shell said its Deer Park operation has started strike contingency plans and will continue operations "in the normal course of business." It did not elaborate on the plans in a brief statement.
The remaining sites not targeted for a strike will operate under contract extensions that renew every 24 hours until one side in the negotiations decides that they have reached an impasse, Hancock said.
She added that negotiators normally reach an agreement on a new deal by the time these national contracts expire, or they extend the contract a few days to continue negotiations.
"We haven't had a work stoppage like this since 1980," she said.

We hope you enjoyed the recent snowfall! We've been back to school now for over a month, and we more than halfway through the school year already. Keep an eye out for registration details for 2014/2015 school year as well as the upcoming Maifest.
At this point, we have 105 students enrolled at EGLS, the most it has been in over 5 years. Our priority and goal is to continue offering quality German language classes, keeping tuition affordable and classroom size at an acceptable level to support learning and interaction. Thank you to our teachers, parent volunteers, Angrid (Principal) and Anita (Vice principal) for continuing to make this the Best Choice in German Language School on the eastside. Thank you also to the Board for successfully guiding the school in financial and business decisions.
After serving the board for 4 years as President and Vice President, I have decided to step down from my position as President of the Board effective April 5, 2014, at the General Meeting. My consulting practice is now in its third year and requiring much more of my time and energy. I have thoroughly enjoyed serving the Board and EGLS and know that EGLS had a solid and long future ahead of it.
I am reaching out to you for referrals and nominations for the position of President of the Board. It is a great opportunity for someone with a passion for German language, community and culture who wants to make a difference in the German community and on the Eastside. The team of Board members is very strong – representing skills in business, high tech and legal. If I say so myself – the Board Members are a lot of fun and have become good friends over the years. Thank you Board Members – I will miss you – but will stay connected.
We have already passed the half-year mark and are looking forward to celebrating Fasching on March 1st.
With the New Year we had some changes and exciting news: our playgroup has a new teacher – Silvia Phillips. Silvia has a lot of teaching experience in early childhood education and already taught the playgroup class at EGLS in 2008.
On January 18, 2014 our four DSDII students took their final oral test for their DSDII exam. All students showed impressive presentations and passed the oral section. We are looking forward to seeing their overall results in spring.
January 18 was not only the last day of the first EGLS semester, it was also "EGLS teacher's night out" and our EGLS teachers met at Fins Bistro in Issaquah to enjoy a delicious dinner together as part of the teacher gift certificates from the EGLS Board for Christmas.
EGLS is also getting ready to celebrate the 5th season. We will celebrate Fasching on March 1st. Get out your favorite costume. School will start at 9:30 AM with regular class, and the Fasching celebrations will begin at 10:30 with dancing and games. Bring family and friends and party with us.
Join us March 1st for EGLS's Fasching. Normal school class begins at 9:30 AM and the Fasching party begins at 10:30. Wear your favorite costume!!
SAGA also celebrates Fasching in their Ballard location from 3:00 PM – 5:00 PM!!
Come celebrate the end of another fun filled year at Pine Lake Park. Details coming soon!
Fasching is Germany's carnival season. It starts on the 11th of November at exactly 11 minutes after 11:00AM and ends at the stroke of midnight at on Shroud Tuesday (often referred to as Fat Tuesday, the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday).
Fasching is a time of festivity and merry making – a time to break the rules, poke fun at those who make them and then to make your own rules.
Soon after Fasching season opens a mock government of eleven guilds (Zünfte) are elected, along with a Carnival prince and princess who plan the carnival activities.
"Weiberfastnacht" is mainly held in the Rhineland. The day begins with women storming into and symbolically taking over city hall. Then women throughout the day will snip off men's ties and kiss any man that passes their way.
"Rosenmontag" - the largest and most popular carnival parades take place on the Monday before Ash Wednesday. The biggest German Carnival parades are held in Cologne & Dusseldorf.
Mix the yolks, butter, yeast, sugar and milk with the flour and let the dough sit in a warm place for 30 minutes. Mix it again and let sit until the volume has doubled.
Make about 20 little balls and flatten slightly. Cover with a kitchen towel and let them sit for another 30 min. in a warm place.
Heat the oil in a pot and bake the krapfen on both sides. Take them out and let the excess oil run off.
Mix the apricot jam with rum and use a filling tool with a beak to inject the jam into the baked donuts.
Instead of our traditional Parent's breakfast, please join EGLS for a lunch to celebrate our Parents! Pizza and beverages will be served after the normal Saturday class at 1:30 PM. Look forward to seeing everyone!!!
Please welcome Silvia Phillips as the new playgroup teacher! She brings wonderful early childhood education experience to EGLS.
Klaudia Linowska, our preschool and adult Saturday teacher welcomed a darling baby boy just in time for Valentine's Day! Henry was born February 4th at Overlake Hospital. He weighed in at 7 pounds 6 ounces, 56 cm and as you can see super handsome! Congratulations to Klaudia and her husband!
I wanted to share with you that our current contract with the East Shore Unitarian Church is up for renewal at the end of the school year. We have already been fore-warned, that the current rates we have been enjoying the last two years were significantly below market, and that the new renewal rates will be significantly higher.
As a Board we are committed to offering German Language Programs at an affordable rate to our families and students. We are looking at this situation very seriously as we do not want to raise tuition dramatically and want to remain an affordable German language program for our families and future students.
This letter is a call for your support and help – to all students, families and parents to let us know of any churches, schools or other appropriate facilities in the I-90/405 corridor that would have the following to meet our needs.
Larger community-type space for special events (about 4 per year).
Help us find the best solution that meets the needs of our students and helps us sustain our mission on the Eastside!


1. Wash dal and soak it for 1 hour.
2. In a pressure cooker cook dal with chopped spinach and salt adding just enough water too cook.
3. In a pan add oil and the tempering ingredients : asafoetida, mustard seeds, cumin seeds, dry red chillies and curry leaves.
4. When they crackle, add the onion and saute for a minute. Tip in the ginger garlic and saute.
5. Now add the tomatoes and cook until they are soft.

Frank, Annelies Maria "Anne" and Margot
Anne Frank and her sister Margo the hidden Jewish family from the Achterhuis in Amsterdam.
12-06-1929 and 16-02-1926, Frankfurt a/d Main
1945, murdered, age 15 and 19, Bergen Belsen concentration camp..
Mass grave on the concentration camp Bergen Belsen.
netherlandsJewish victim
Anne Frank, born 12-06-1929 and Margot Frank, born 16-02-1926, in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, were two daughters of Otto Frank.
He has an older brother Robert (1886), a younger brother Herbert (1891) and a sister Helene (1893). His father Michael heads the family bank, which specializes in currency trading.
Anne and Margot are born in Frankfurt am Main in the Marbachweg 307 The Franks are liberal Jews and threatened by the Nazi laws Otto moved with his family to the free country Holland . The family of Otto lived most of there life in or near Amsterdam, in the Netherlands (see About) Merwedeplein 37, second floor.
By nationality, they were officially considered Germans until 1941, when they lost there nationality owing to the anti-Semitic policies of Nazi Germany, the Nuremberg Laws. The Frank family moved from Germany to Amsterdam in 1933, the year the Nazis gained control over Germany. By the beginning of 1940, they were trapped in Amsterdam by the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands. As persecutions of the Jewish population increased in July 1942, the family went into hiding in the Achterhuis, the hidden rooms of Anne's father, Otto Frank's, office building, situated at the Prinzengracht 236 in Amsterdam. There was a secret door, behind a bookcase, to the refugees apartment. Achterhuis, a Dutch word denoting the rear part of a house, translated as the "Secret Annexe" in English editions of the diary.
Friends of the Frank family joined them, the couple van Pels, Auguste, born Röttgen and Hermann, with their son Peter and a four months later another German fugitive joined them, Fritz Pfeffer.
After two years, the group was betrayed by probably by Willem van Maaren or the Jewish lady Lena Hartog-Van Bladeren a cleaning women in the same hidding building. To report a single Jew to the SD brought in a 75 Dutch guilders, about 30 dollars in that time. The complete group was captured by Karl Josef Silberbauer,
an Austrian SD man in company of a four or five Dutch SD men in civilian clothes, three of them were Maarten Kuiper, who died in 1971, Gezinus Gringhuis, Willem Grootendorst. Silberbauer forched inside, wanted money or jewels and snatched a bag, shaked the contents out, took what he wanted and left Anna's dairy on the ground, which was found by Miep Gies later. Silberbauer later worked for the secret service of Major General Reinard Gehlen . Silberbauer died age 61, in 1972 and he is quoted as saying of Anne Frank's diary: "I bought the little book last week to see if I am in it. But I am not. Maybe I should have picked it up off the floor." Anna Frank is one of the most renowned and most discussed Jewish victims of the Holocaust (see Simon Wiesenthal) and the Sinti girl from my hometown Eindhoven, in the Westerbork train (see Settela Steinbach) (see Untersturmführer Hans Stark). Acknowledged for the quality of her writing, her diary has become one of the world's most widely read books, and has been the basis for several plays and films. Anne Frank, her mother and her sister, Margot, were eventually transferred to the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, from Westerbork, the Dutch concentration camp SS Obersturmführer, Albert Konrad Gemmeker was the camp commander, where they all died, weeks before the end of the war.
Otto Frank, the only survivor of the family, returned to Amsterdam after the war to find that Anne's diary had been saved by Miep Gies. The former World War I soldier Otto Frank married his second wife Elfriede "Fritzi" Markovits on 10-11- 1953.
Fritzi Markovits was earlier married with Erich Geiringer, who was born 11-11-1901, in 1923 and they had two children, Heinz born 1926 and Eva born 1929. The family like the Frank family flew from Germany to Holland in 1940 and lived in Amsterdam where the Frank's were their neighbors. In 1944 they were also captured by the SD and deported to Auschwitz. Her husband Erich and son Heinz didn't survived the camp, as they perished in the forced march to Mauthausen that came just before the war ended. Fritzi together with her daughter Eva returned to Holland on 13-06-1945. Otto Frank visited them at their apartment not long after. They married and went to Basel, Switzerland and a few years after the death of Otto she moved to London where her daughter Eva was living
. Eva, was married with Zvi Schloss in 1952. Fritzi Frank-Markovits died on 02-10-1998, age 93, in London. In 2013 her daughter Eva Schloss' memoir of life after the Holocaust After Auschwitz
Miep Gies died 11-01-2010, age 100 and Otto's efforts led to its publication in 1947. Miep Gies was the last of the group of Dutch women who helped hide and sustain the family of Otto Frank, her former employer, when the Germans occupied Amsterdam in 1942. She describes Otto Frank as "The calm one, the children's teacher, the most logical, the one who balanced everything out. He was the leader, the one in charge. When a decision had to be made, all eyes turned to Mr. Frank." When the Frank family was taken away, Miep Gies also found a diary on the floor kept by Otto's daughter Anne. She hid it for years, thus preserving the story of the young girl whose name would become known the world. It was translated from its original Dutch and first published in English in 1952 as The Diary of a Young Girl. It has since been translated into many languages. The diary, which was given to Anne on her 13th birthday, chronicles her life from 12-06-1942 until 01-08-1944. In March 1945, a typhus epidemic spread through the camp and killed approximately 17.000 prisoners.
Death and burial ground of Frank, Annelies Maria "Anne" and Margot.
Witnesses later testified Margot fell from her bunk in her weakened state and was killed by the shock, and a few days later, Anne died. They state this occurred a few weeks before the camp was liberated by British troops, on 15-04-1945. Anne died age 15, Margo age 19 and the bodies were burned, the ashes are with many other victims gathered in big mass graves on the ground of the Bergen Belsen concentration camp. Otto Frank married a former neighbor from Amsterdam and fellow Auschwitz survivor, Elfriede Geiringer (1905–1998), in Amsterdam on 10-11-1953, and both moved to Basel, Switzerland, where he had family, including children with whom he shared his experiences. SS Hauptsturmführer, Josef Rudolf "Angel of Death" Mengele infamous for performing human experiments on camp inmates in Auschwitz, including children, for which Mengele was called the "Angel of Death" on the cemetery Birsfelden in Basel.

Now we're back to colour … again.
Looks like I jumped the gun slightly (surely not!) by referencing on Page 67 about the one page which glossed over Tiffany and Peonie's escape from Asylum? Turns out I should have read a bit further forward because here's the original version of that actual page. This is actually one of those pages that was went across largely intact.
So I'm going to revise my statement by saying our current remade version actually just skipped over a lot of what happened the first time the story was made.
What does everyone think of this version of Exiern? I've been quite enjoying it quite a lot seeing the additional events and characters in it (I've only really been reading this comprehensively for the first time as I post it, just a few pages in front of everyone else). It's also emphasised even further for me how as important as presentation is, at the end of the day how the story above everything else really makes the experience.
But I must also say that I think Drowemos is doing quite a good job with the art (especially driven home with my experience of trying to do the most basic of monochrome sketches on a tablet) and is definitely getting better at it the further along we get with these pages.
So all up, what does everyone think of this original version of Exiern?
The date for this page says it was the first part of three of a page published on the 22nd of March 2006.
meps98
I started reading back when Drowemos was both author and artist. I was there for the story, which was great. When he decided to pop for a "real" artist, it was a bit more enjoyable but I would have stayed along for the ride even if there had been no staff changes. I appreciate everyone's past and current efforts to keep Exiern on line and available. Hope it manages to become a completed story sometime in the far future.


An American missionary who has been held in North Korea for more than a year spoke to reporters in Pyongyang on Monday and asked the U.S. government to help secure his release.
Kenneth Bae, dressed in a grey cap and inmate's uniform with the number 103 on his chest, spoke with reporters at a news conference he said was held at his own request, although he was under guard at the time, the Associated Press reports. "I believe that my problem can be solved by close cooperation and agreement between the American government and the government of this country," Bae said.
Bae was arrested in November 2012 while leading a tour group and accused of crimes against the state. He was sentenced to 15 years hard labor, but has been transferred to a hospital because of poor health. The U.S. government insists he is not guilty of any crimes, but on Monday Bae apologized and said he had committed anti-government acts.
The missionary's detention was in the news earlier this month when former NBA player Dennis Rodman traveled to Pyongyang for an exhibition game with retired NBA players. In an interview while in Pyongyang, Rodman made comments implying that Bae's detention was his own fault. Rodman later apologized.

Prager University: The American Trinity
Tom Stark Send an email May 29, 2018
America is certainly unique among the countries of the world. That's not to say that Americans, as individuals, are any better than any other individual who resides in another country. Those judgements are more appropriately left to others.
America is unique in its combining of three aspirations that have never been combined by another country. Within these three aspirations lies the secret to America's significant contribution toward promoting freedom around the world.
So, what are these three unique aspirations/beliefs that set us apart? Listen and learn…it's not a difficult lesson. It is one that is often taken for granted on a daily basis – much to our detriment. They should never be far from our minds.

Who to root for at the Academy Awards... from a horror perspective, of course
The Academy Awards usually doesn't offer much for horror fans to root for, until they get to sound editing, special effects and awards like that. So, knowing that most industry people have skeletons in their closets, so to speak, I figured that, just for shits and giggles, I'd look into all the big Academy Award nominated films and see what kinds of ties to horror they have....
"Michael Clayton" (Best Actor, Supporting Actor, Supporting Actress, Directing, Music, Best Picture, Original Screenplay) - There's the easy connection in that Clooney is, and always will be, Seth Gecko from "From Dusk Till Dawn". I don't know much about this "Michael Clayton" film, but with quotes like, "Alright vampire killers, let's kill some fucking vampires" and "Your best better get a whole lot fucking better or you are going to feel a whole lot fucking worse", "From Dusk Till Dawn" should've won an award or two. That's not the best tie to horror, though... "Michael Clayton" was shot by Robert Elswit, an award winning DP, who also shot "Return of the Living Dead II" and "Trick or Treat" with Gene Simmons and Ozzy Osbourne. You remember "Trick or Treat" - "what are you afraid of? It's only rock and roll"
"There Will Be Blood" (Best Actor, Art Direction, Cinematography, Directing, Editing, Best Picture, Sound, Adapted Screenplay) - Surprisingly, this one's a bit tougher... Daniel Day-Lewis has played some gritty roles, but never in a horror. Further, Paul Thomas Anderson, the director, hasn't done much horror... So, I'm liking the supporting actor in "There Will Be Blood", Kevin J. O'Connor, who was the prisoner from "Flight of the Living Dead", Igor from "Van Helsing" and that general nuisance from "The Mummy". Surprisingly, he hasn't been nominated for anything, ever.
"Atonement" (Supporting Actress, Art Direction, Cinematography, Costume Design, Original Score, Best Picture, Adapted Screenplay) - It's a bit of a stretch, but the Academy Award winning screenwriter is Christopher Hampton, who also wrote "Mary Reilly", but that's barely a horror. The only other tie would be that one of the producers, Tim Bevan, also produced "Shaun of the Dead".
"The Diving Bell and The Butterfly" (Cinematography, Directing, Editing, Adapted Screenplay) - I thought it would be a lot harder, but Max von Sydow's in this, who's probably best known for being Father Lankester Merrin in "The Exorcist" and "The Exorcist II", but he's also been in "Conan The Barbarian", "Dune", "Needful Things", "Judge Dredd" and... I think that's it, I think that's all the movies he's ever been in, ever. Oh, and the 1957 classic "The Seventh Seal", but that's it, though... no more. He's done basically nothing in his career but horror and now "The Diving Bell and The Butterfly".
"Juno" (Best Actress, Directing, Best Picture, Original Screenplay) - "Juno"'s written by Diablo Cody, who's next script is "Jennifer's Body", a sci-fi thriller about a possessed cheerleader turned killer, but I can do better than that. How about the fact that it's edited by Dana E. Glauberman, who also helped cut... yup, you got it, "Maniac Cop 3: Badge of Silence".
"Sweeney Todd" (Best Actor, Art Direction, Costume Design) - This one's low hanging fruit. First off, it actually is a horror film, secondly it's got Johnny Depp, most famously known for playing Glen Lantz in the original "Nightmare on Elm Street", but let's go obscure... "Sweeny Todd"'s unit publicist was Sarah Cark, who was also the unit publicist on "28 Days Later"... coincedence? I don't think so.
"No Country for Old Men" (Supporting Actor, Cinematography, Directing, Editing, Best Picture, Sound Editing, Sound Mixing, Adapted Screenplay) - There's a few easy one's, like Woody Harrelson was also in "Natural Born Killers", the Coen's did "Blood Simple" or even that one of the Coen's first scripts was "Crimewave", Sam Raimi's follow up to "Evil Dead". Side note: If you're a Bruce Campbell, Coen brothers or Sam Raimi fan and you haven't seen "Crimewave", go find it. You'll watch it and think, the Coen brothers and Sam Raimi did THIS? Jesus, if they can make it, I can make it. Regardless, my horror connection from "No Country for Old Men" will be from Stephen Root, who's character is the "guy who hires Wells". He's probably best known as the guy from the TV show, "News Radio"... but, his second role ever? Dean Burbage from "Monkey Shines".
"Ratatouille" (Best Animated Feature, Original Score, Sound Editing, Sound Mixing, Original Screenplay) - Wow... uh, the editor, Darren T. Holmes was the apprentice editor on "Wolfen".
There, done. Now you know who to cheer for.

Re: There Will Be Blood, P.T. has said that he approached the film as if it were horror, and certainly that sense pervades the finished product. I read this in The Onion in an interview a few weeks ago, so it may be online somewhere.
