Shakti is the root of all Existence.
She will gather them in.
Source of Life that we all have within, and that we are.
Sparkling. Peaceful. Here and Now.
My name is Christine, and I have been teaching Yoga for most of my life – that is for almost 40 years, and I am still very happy, and very thankful for this. Mostly I teach Yin and Yang Yoga, Gentle Yoga and Yoga Nidra as well as various forms of Meditation. My approach is coloured by Advaita Vedanta, Raja Yoga, and various forms of mindfulness meditation. I have also become an expert in Women's Yoga as very often we, as women, need a different approach into Being that honors our cycles and rhythms. I have specialized in Yoga Teacher's Trainings on a one to one basis, and, among others, I also coach Yoga Teachers on their path. I have published several books on Yoga and Meditatin, and various Audio CDs. If you can read German, you are welcome to view my book section in the German part of my Website. Currently I am working on an English version of my Yoga Nidra CD. Let us all re-connect to the Silence within. Again and again. And live from the Wisdom of our Heart.
I am happy to spend part of the winter in India and/or South East Asia – book writing, meditating, finding deeper into the Space of Who I Am. I cannot tell you how greatful I am to have this chance. If you like to meet me on the way, please do connect – you can always book me for a Yoga Retreat or Individual Yoga Sessions when I am around.
I am happy to say that I cannot imagine a life without Yoga.
For me, there is only one Yoga, and the various approaches are the pathways into That.
I am happy to have written a few books on the yoga topics I teach, and I hope they will be translated into English soon. I am happy to have the luxury of traveling to India and South East Asia during winter, and I would be happy to meet you there.
For me, yoga is about re-connecting with our inner Source, to the vibrant Silence within.
For this I use the methods of Yin Yoga (long-held yoga poses, preparing for Meditation and stimulating Meridian Energy), Yoga Nidra (conscious relaxation which goes also as a form of tantric meditation), Raj Yoga (soul consciousness), Hatha and Yin Yang Yoga (preparing body and mind for Awareness). I also like to teach Women's Yoga Retreats to awake the Shakti Power and Goddess within. Women's Yoga (as I teach it) includes techniques to enhance fertility and relieving menopause symptoms.
By using physical awareness, we can understand that we are so much more than our physical body and our think-feeling mind. No matter, what methods are used: Yoga is always about re-connecting with the vibrant, open space that we carry within and that we are, and by getting in touch with our deepest longing, we can find the path in our life that we are made for, and through the filter of our personality, shine as the light that we are.
Due to the rhythms of our lives, we women need, in many ways, another approach into Yoga that honours our cycles. I am talking of our menstrual cycles as well as of menopause and beyond. We need a space to rest that allows us to be held, from within, to feel and experience ourselves as the Goddess that we are. My Yoga Retreats for Women create that Space, from outside into inside, and the other way round.
… and know that you are always Home. Your body can travel to the most hidden corner of the Earth, your words may travel through sound waves, paper and techniques, but YOU cannot go anywhere: YOU are always HOME, YOU ARE ALWAYS HERE AND NOW. OM SHANTI.
In our lives yang energy seems to be dominant – taking a certain action to reach a goal. Whereas in the yin aproach we yield and relax into life – into a state of being – as it is. Both qualities are so necessary, and here we find a wise fusion of traditional Yoga and Chinese Medicine.
By fascial stretches we harmonize the Meridian System, keep our bodies flexible and young, and have one of the best ways to prepare for Meditation (using Yin Yoga). My approach includes elements of Gentle Yoga and Isometric Muscle Work to balance the long-held stretches.
In Yang Yoga I include ways of strengthening the muscles that at the same time work on the Meridian System.
Yoga Nidra (yogic sleep) is a conscious relaxation technique as well as a tantric meditation, and it is a wonderful way to become aware of the different layers (koshas) that veil our sacred, shining core. It can help us to meet and greet everything that comes into our thoughts and into our lives, as a pointer, as a signal, that is taking us Home, into our Sacred Ground of Being.

$532,000 Workers' Compensation Settlement Arm Injury
Following a catastrophic injury sustained while working on an oil rig, Hassakis & Hassakis lawyers helped an Illinois worker hold his negligent employers accountable.
category: Workers' Compensation
$532,000 Workers' Compensation Settlement
$532,000 Workers' Compensation Settlement. A 33-year-old male was severely injured when the wooden scaffolding platform of an oil rig site on which he was laboring gave way, causing him to fall into the belt of the well's pump motor. This caused his arm to be wrenched and a near severance of his right thumb. The wooden scaffolding boards did not meet federal regulations, and their dilapidated condition contributed to the plaintiff's serious injuries. Witnesses testified that the wooden scaffolding was hazardous and a hazard to workers. Even though the owner of the rig site seemed originally to be surprised by the work site's dangerous condition, former employee witnesses were clear to point out that numerous warnings of such conditions and the immediate need for repair or construction were made. Immediately following the incident, this worker's hand and thumb were placed in ice and he was transported via ambulance to the nearest emergency room, and then airlifted to a triage center in Louisville, Kentucky.
As soon as he arrived at Jewish Hospital in Louisville, he was prepared for surgery on his thumb in an attempt to save his right thumb. The surgery consisted of extensive debridement of the skin, artery, veins, bones, and nerves; a fusion of an interphalangeal joint; ORIF for comminuted P1 fracture with K-wire; fluoroscopy evaluation; microscopic repair of the ulnar digital artery; repair of complex skin lacerations and application of thumb spica splint. Surgical notes indicate that the articular surface on the interphalangeal joint was severely crushed and the joint could not be reconstructed. Also, his digital nerves were avulsed from the proximal portion deep in the palm and were not able to be repaired. Post-op and after discharge from the hospital, he followed up with a doctor in Louisville and it was noted that the plaintiff continued to complain of pain at the interphalangeal joint of the right long finger as well as the thumb. Bone stimulation was then initiated on his thumb and physical therapy and one-handed duty were continued. Due to necrotic tissue on his thumb, he underwent debridement and removal of a portion of the joint capsule close to the bone as well as the removal of a small free bone fragment.
At a later follow-up appointment, the doctor performed a light fluoroscopy evaluation, which showed clear pseudo-motion and nonunion of the proximal phalanx. He also underwent an ORIF procedure where an Acutrak screw was placed in his thumb in an attempt to correct his P1 nonunion. Medical experts confirmed that he suffered from circulation problems in his thumb, causing it to turn blue in cool temperatures. He was ultimately placed on permanent restrictions of no handling more than 15 pounds of materials at a "frequent" rate, now handling more than 5 pounds of materials at a "continual or constant" rate. He continues to have problems with his right hand and thumb that adversely affect his fine motor coordination and movements, and continues to have circulation problems. After our firms' efforts, this personal injury case settled for $532,020.33. This case represented a 3rd party action originally from a work injury case that had been previously settled.

$1B exit and you don't cut us in? No Waze Jose!
$1B exit and you don't cut us in? No Waze Jose!
Attorney Yitzhak Aviram is seeking $64M for his clients in a class action suit – Will he get it?
'You didn't build that!' – At least not on your own, you didn't.
Stuck in traffic and for what?
This past Tuesday Gorodish filed suit against Waze and its founders demanding payment for damages in the amount of $64M. His attorney, Yitzhak Aviram, has made a request of the court to have this case treated as a class action suit against the defendants. No one else has yet signed on to the suit but Aviram says in cases like these it's typical to make the request first and fill in the gaps later. Sounds about right.
Gorodish is an early contributor to a free, open source GPS street mapping community called Freemap Israel. He's claiming that it was from his early efforts and others like him, driving around and documenting streets in all their commuter detail, that Waze was eventually able to navigate its way to a Google exit. Now, Gorodish believes he and the rest of the early Freemap community are entitled to their fair share of Waze's Google bucks.
The math of the claim is a bit fuzzy. In an interview with Geektime, Aviram explained that Waze founders Ehud Shabtai, Amir Shinar, Gili Shinar and Uri Levine received a total of $128M out of the $1B+ purchase price, specifically for intellectual property. Property that Aviram says was not entirely theirs to sell. By Aviram's figuring, the Freemap community is entitled to half of the value of that property (Why half? Why not?), making one possible calculation come out to be a clean $64M.
However, according to Aviram, there are approximately 1,500 contributors to the early Freemap community, all of whom are potential co-plaintiffs to the suit. By Israeli law, a plaintiff may be entitled to upwards of $100K for denying open source property to its co-contributors. Multiply that by 1.5K people and it's possible Waze could be looking at $150M lawsuit. Aviram stresses though that his main target is the $64M.
When asked why it took so long for his client to come forward, Aviram explains that Gorodish sent a letter to Waze way back in May of 2013 and only received a response two months after Waze's June exit. The gist of the response was that Gorodish is not entitled to anything belonging to Waze.
Oh contrare mon billionaire, says Aviram. In a 2006 forums post in LinMagazine.co.il by Shabtai himself, Aviram claims Shabtai made it clear that the Freemap open source code belonged to the community, not to him. A careful inspection of the post however, reveals anything but clarity. While the Hebrew post does have Shabtai stating his view that the maps belong to the community, he is equally clear that he does not yet know how he plans to treat the maps in the future with regards to licensing. He goes on to admit that leaving things in a state of uncertainty may potentially lead to a snafu or two, if and when he ever decides to tackle the sore point of licensing in the future. No kidding.
Looking for any excuse to siphon off a little gravy from a runaway success train after the fact is nothing new. In 2008 the Winklevoss brothers managed to winkle $65M out of Facebook, a curiously similar amount to Aviram's target of $64M. That $65M came by way of settlement and it's highly likely that Aviram is looking to employ a similar tactic for his own clients' case. The timeline certainly lends itself to such a play. According to Aviram we're looking at a 90 day window within which Waze has to respond to Gorodish's claim, and then a good year or two until the court will likely rule just on the class action aspect of the suit.
Class action or not, ultimately the question will boil down to whether a judge will see Gorodish's volunteer driving around and inputting data as being enough to entitle him to a monetary claim on Waze's intellectual property. It seems like a stretch to me. In Facebook vs. Winklevoss you had Zuckerberg agreeing to work as an employee of sorts before deciding to go off on his own with the Winklevoss idea, using any number of stalling tactics to keep the twins at bay while he got his social network off the ground. Here you have the opposite case, with Shabtai having always been at the head of the project; laying down most of the technical work and all of the idea work, and only capitalizing on his army of volunteer road warriors for simple data input. Those volunteers contributed to the mapping, not the coding, and a free mapping service is what they expected to receive in return. Waze is free. Bargain upheld, service delivered.
I mean, could you imagine early Facebook users demanding a cut of FB's $100B valuation just for making it cool and supplying its first threads of social content? Yes? Hmmm…anyone know a good lawyer?

I'm probably the only goofball that takes a vacation day from my full time "day job" so I can use that day to work on my business. Yes, you read that right – I took a day off of "work" to work.
While the presentations and small group coaching sessions from the mentors was remarkably helpful, I also want to emphasize another crucial part of the weekend: connecting with the other entrepreneurs at the conference. Many of these individuals were members in a small business organization geared toward bath & body brands (Indie Business Network) and I'd seen the success of their brands over the last year since joining IBN. I was intimidated. Some of these individuals own multiple brands, have authored books, have wildly successful businesses. How was I going to fit in with them when The Creative Cajun is just joining the party?
All my fears were unfounded when they welcomed me with open arms, loads of advice and heaps of support. In my soul, I knew that I needed to go to this conference the moment it was announced. I knew it was what I needed to get my passion back for this business. I had high expectations for the weekend, but my actual experience there exceeded those expectations 10-fold.
One of the biggest lessons I learned from meeting these fellow entrepreneurs is how important it is to connect with others who are in a similar place in their lives. I believe that many of us realize the power of connection with others who have a common bond. We instantly connect with others from South Louisiana or those who have ties to the Cajun culture. There's an instant, undeniable bond.
It was like that last weekend in Nashville. We could joke about mistakes that we've made, assumptions we had about starting our own businesses or give words of encouragement for those struggling through a tough time.
The conference was only 2 days, but we bonded with one another almost instantly. A few of us were still in town on Saturday evening and we headed to a restaurant for dinner. We were joking with one another like we'd known each other for years and I quipped to our server "Can you believe that we all met each other YESTERDAY?" and he thought I was kidding. I will forever feel connected to the men & women I met last weekend. Their brands, blogs and journeys will remain in my mind as I journey down my path with The Creative Cajun.
What events or groups have fostered your greatest connections in your life?
Share your experiences with the magic of connecting with others below. I'd love to read your stories!

wife Jann, with all my love.
You don't have to deserve your mother's love. You
have to deserve your father's. He's more particular.
No man is a hero to his valet.
Comuel
Or to his father.
Jonas Cord
PEOPLE HAVE RECURRING DREAMS. Jonas cord had them. Memories are often
distressing. Dreams, bringing memories to life, are worse; emotions
that are dull in memory come back sharp and tormenting in dreams.
The one that came most often began with the words "Jonas
— my son."
"Jonas — my son," his father had
muttered as he toppled into his son's arms, dead of an abrupt,
massive stroke. One moment Jonas Senior was a powerful, domineering
man. The next moment he was dead.
He had died without ever having told his son he loved
him, or that he was proud of him. He had died without ever hearing
any such words from his son. The old man and the young man loved each
other, but neither could ever bring himself to say so, and neither
ever felt confident of it. Jonas resolved he would never let things
be that way with a son of his own — if he ever had one.
It was Rina who first made it clear to him that his
father had cared for him. Rina: the young, voluptuous Rina. Jonas had
almost hated his father over Rina. He had decided to marry her and
had announced his decision to Jonas Senior. His father had opposed
the marriage on the ground that the boy was too young to marry; and
he had blocked it in the most effective way he possibly could, by
marrying her himself. Jonas had called the old man a fool who had
fallen for a scheming, avaricious gold digger.
Within hours after his father's death, Rina had
explained that the old man had not been a fool at all. He had
demanded a prenuptial agreement from her, in which she accepted a
settlement but would not inherit stock in the Cord family businesses.
If she had borne the old man a child, that child would have inherited
stock and Jonas would have had to share control. During a whole year
of marriage to the luscious and licentious Rina, the old man had
resolutely avoided getting her pregnant — to preserve Jonas's
status as sole heir.
The next person who made Jonas understand his father was
Nevada Smith, the best and wisest friend either of the Jonases ever
had. The leathery, straight-spoken Nevada Smith had shown up at the
Cord ranch one day sixteen years before the death of Jonas Senior and
asked if there was a job for him. There wasn't, but Jonas Senior was
a man who sized up other men quickly; and he had hired Nevada to
teach his little boy to ride and shoot — in short, to make a
man of him. After Jonas Senior died, Nevada moved on. He starred in
his own Wild West show and then became a major star of Western
pictures. But he remained a friend and saw Jonas often. He told Jonas
things the old man should have told him.
Jonas never told anyone else, but he pledged himself
that if ever he had a son, the boy would know he loved him, would
know it all his life, would know it before it was too late.
In another dream that often came, the year was
1945, twenty years after the death of his father, and Jonas was
proudly and exuberantly flying
The Centurion,
the huge
fiberglass-hull flying boat in which he had invested seventeen
million dollars of the assets of what the
called "the Cord Empire." It had been at the time the
biggest airplane ever built, designed to carry an entire company of
soldiers with two light tanks and all the other equipment they would
need to invade a Japanese-held island.
The conventional wisdom was that he could never
get the thing to lift off the water, but he was in the air.
was one more example of how Jonas Cord — no
longer ever called Jonas Cord Junior — repeatedly defied expert
opinion, went his own way, and made things work the way he wanted
them to work.
For example, at the time of his death, Jonas Senior had been about to
launch the parent company. Cord Explosives, into the manufacture of
an exotic new product said to have thousands of potential uses in
industry and in consumer goods. For want of a better name, the
product was called plastics. Jonas had picked up on this idea and
carried it forward. Cord Plastics was one of the biggest names in the
industry. A Cord company manufactured airplanes, and another ran an
airline. Cord Productions had made movies for some years, but later
Jonas had decided to get out of that business and use the soundstages
as rental properties.
For the test flight of
Winthrop, Jonas's father-in-law, who had supervised the building of
the plane, sat in the co-pilot's seat. They had taken off, and the
huge plane was flying, but suddenly everything went wrong. In the
dream it was as if the plane had been rigged backward. If he turned
the yoke to lower the right wing, the left wing dipped. If he shoved
in the left rudder pedal, the plane turned right. And then the
engines began to fail, one by one ...
Then, invariably, the telephone rang. It rang
once, just once, enough to wake him and interrupt the dream,
mercifully sparing him from having to relive what had really happened
in 1945 — the failure of the engines one by one, the plunge
into the sea, his escape from the buckled fuselage with doors jammed
shut, shoved through a port by Amos, who was himself too fat to
squeeze through, and finally the sinking of
carrying the older man down with it.
Two weeks later, while Jonas was still in the
hospital recovering from injuries he had suffered in the crash, the
atomic bomb brought the war with Japan to an end; and Jonas had to
give up plans to build
Centurion II.
Fortunately, Cord
Aircraft had also just delivered to the Air Force its first jet
fighter. The luck of Jonas Cord, someone commented acidly.
A son. He'd never had a son. He had been married twice, twice to the
same woman. Monica Winthrop. By a sad, stupid error he had decided
that the daughter she bore, Jo-Ann, was not his. He left Monica, and
she divorced him. Fourteen years passed before he learned he had been
wrong. Then, thank God, it was not too late. He remarried Monica and
happily accepted Jo-Ann as his daughter. Jo-Ann said she wanted a
little brother, but five years of trying had not yet produced one.
The fault wasn't his. He had established a trust fund for a daughter
born to his secretary in 1948. It was Monica's fault. Doctors said
there was something funny about her. Monica was forty-three, a
pregnancy was not impossible, just unlikely, and if they really
wanted another child they should keep trying.
Anyway, he had bought a home in Bel Air, and Jo-Ann was going to
college at Pepperdine. Monica had not given up her career and spent a
lot of time in New York — as he spent a lot of time flying
here, there, and the other where — but they were together
enough to have plenty of chances to make something happen.
Jonas was happy. He insisted to himself that he was happy. Why
shouldn't he have been? He had inherited Cord Explosives and built it
into a billion-dollar conglomerate that was still growing. He was
notoriously successful. He had the luck of Jonas Cord. He was
forty-seven years old and had done just about everything he had ever
wanted to do in life —
Except that he had never told his father he loved him and never heard
his father say it to him. And he had never had a chance to make it
right in some sense by treating a son of his own a different way.
AN ODDITY OF THE RECURRING DREAM ABOUT
was that the telephone ring that interrupted it always
happened forty-seven minutes past the hour. It could be 1:47, 2:47,
or 3:47; but when he woke and looked at the clock it was always
forty-seven past something.
This was not the same. The telephone did not ring once. It persisted.
And when he opened his eyes and looked at the clock, the time was
The phone had rung maybe six times when he picked it up. He was
groggy. He'd eaten well, drunk a little more than usual, and had
finished the evening with a round of good sex with Monica. Waking was
not easy.
"Yeah ... ?"
"Jonas, this is Phil."
"You know what time it is?"
"What time you think it is in Washington?
Listen to me. A friend — never mind who — woke
up to read me a highly confidential document. Plan on a visit from a
United States marshal. He'll be early. He means to get to you before
you leave the house."
Jonas switched on the bedside lamp. He lifted himself to a sitting
posture. He was stark naked. He didn't own such a thing as a pair of
pajamas, and it took a cold night in a badly heated bedroom to make
him sleep in his underclothes.
"Phil ... What the hell are you talking about?"
"The airline hearings, for Christ's sake! They've issued a
subpoena for you. They want to grill your ass, Jonas. You didn't
appear voluntarily in response to their request, so— "
"Bunch of two-bit politicians want to make names for themselves
by cross-examining Jonas Cord."
"Maybe. But they're United States senators, and they've got
subpoena power. If you don't show, you're in contempt of Congress.
People have gone to jail for contempt of Congress."
"I hold Congress in
contempt."
"You're not in the world's best position, Jonas. If those
contracts for gate positions in New York and Chicago were in fact
rigged the way — "
"Phil. Never mind. I know what they accuse me of. I don't want
to talk about it."
"Yeah? Well, if the senators subpoena you to talk about it,
you're going to have to talk about it. You don't have any choice."
"Except one," said Jonas.
The lawyer was silent on the phone for a moment, then said, "As
your lawyer, I can't advise you to take that option."
"As my friend ... ?"
"That's why I called you in the middle of the night."
"I'll be in touch, Phil. I won't tell you where I'm going. If
they ask, you really don't know. But I'll be in touch."
Monica had wakened, had sat up, and was squinting curiously at him.
She was naked, too, as Jonas noted in a quick appreciative glance.
Her boobies, that had always been a pleasure to look at and fondle,
had grown plumper and more rotund since she had gained a little
weight in her late thirties. Her belly was cute and roly-poly now,
like a smooth little melon riding in the bowl of her pelvis. Her legs
remained thin and sleek, and she had put on no new flesh around her
neck or jawline. Her dark-brown hair, now pillow-tousled, framed her
face, which was as strong as always, maybe a little stronger as the
years had imposed character.
"Do I hear that you're going somewhere?" she asked.
"I have to scram for a while," said Jonas. "A marshal
is coming to serve me a subpoena. A couple of senators want to grill
me in the Senate airlines hearings. I really don't want to testify. I
can't afford to testify."
"What have you done?" she asked.
"Nothing illegal," he said acerbically, annoyed that she
would even suggest he'd done something crooked. "Competent
counsel have advised me at every step. But congressional
investigators like nothing more than making a businessman look bad,
particularly if the businessman is one who gets newspaper coverage.
They might even pressure the Justice Department into going for an
indictment. I have done nothing illegal and would be acquitted for
certain — but that would be after an ordeal of two or three
"But what are you going to do?"
"I'm just going to make myself unavailable for a while."
Monica sighed and glanced around their bedroom, at new furniture she
had not yet grown accustomed to think of as hers. "I can't
believe this! Goddammit! We've only been in Bel Air four months.
Jo-Ann is just getting settled in at Pepperdine and — "
Jonas was out of bed now and was dressing. "This has got nothing
to do with where we keep a home or where Jo-Ann goes to school.
You're staying here. Both of you. Those bastards might force me to
duck their process server, but they're not forcing us out of our home
or Jo-Ann out of her university."
Monica got out of bed. She reached for a lavender dressing gown with
white lace trim — not quite sheer but not quite modest either.
She pulled it on.
"How long is this going to last?" she asked.
"Not very long," he said. "I can get it straighted out
in a few weeks, maybe two or three months. The lawyers will talk for
me. I've got a few political contacts, after all."
"Why don't you just accept the subpoena and face it?" she

Meanwhile earlier this week, we reported that the screen goddess, Genevieve Nnaji has completed her Abuja Estate.


A well-liked Soho Indian equally popular for business lunches, pre-theatre suppers or romantic evenings, the Golden Oven offers exceptionally knowledgeable service, sound cooking and fair value in subdued – if unremarkable – surroundings. The menu keeps it familiar with tandoori mixed grills and the likes of lamb tikka, chicken jalfrezi and king prawn masala, but it's also worth taking a punt on the chef's specials – perhaps garlicky chilli chicken with a hot and spicy sauce. All-inclusive thalis provide a bit of everything and there are also sensibly priced set menus to be had.
A truely exceptional & authentic curry experience. You will not eat better Indian in Soho without a Michelin star, the food & service is exceptional, its a shame there is not a bit more space. A little claustaphobic but if you want a dead good curry in a hurry its the best around.
This place is fantastic. This was our second meal there and again the food was awesome. The service is personal. Value for money is definitely their and the relaxed atmosphere is the making of a romantic evening. Upgraded the house bottle of wine to a superb Rioja. This is an evening experience rather than just a meal. Will definitely be going back. Thumbs up, do yourself a favour and get booked in worth a try.
I've been here twice recently with groups of friends and we've always enjoyed ourselves – the food, drinks, service and overall vibe have been relaxed and really enjoyable. A good spot to go to in central London if you want a good curry and a good alternative to hiking down to the Indian restaurants in East London!

17 Mummies Discovered in Ancient Tomb Egypt. Egyptian archaeologists have certainly discovered seventeen mummies in a centuries-old. Most bodies are completely intact.
The tomb is near the city of Minya, 250 kilometers south of Cairo. The Ministry of Antiquities announced the finding earlier today.
The Grave tomb was discovered last year by students of Cairo University, who were searching for remains of ancient civilizations with radar.
The tomb is 8 meters below the ground. The mummies are not dated yet, but they are expected to have been there since the Greek-Roman period.


If you have had the opportunity to look at the beautiful Indian art in public museums, chances are you have witnessed what the Southwest Indians are known for. Art was and still is extremely important to the Southwest Indians. It is a tool to help them communicate their dreams, visions, and beliefs to each other and to the rest of the world. The Southwest Indians are most known for their pottery and basket making skills; however that is just a sample of what the Southwest Indians could do with their hands. The pottery they produced was made for everyday use, including cooking, storage, bathing, and religious ceremonies. All of the pieces were painted and carved carefully with designs that told a story. Nobody knows just how long these pieces took to create.
Earthenware, as we know it today, is the closest to the ancient art of the Southwest Indians. However, it is considerably softer and coarser in texture than the authentic Indian pieces. Outside of pottery, the Southwest Indians were probably more skilled in making baskets than any other Indian group of their time. They were exquisitely decorated with colors and patterns. They were very symbolic, like all of the art they created.
Another example of their ancient art was Kachina dolls, dolls that were hand carved out wood by the Zuni and Hopi Southwest Indian tribes. After they were carved to their liking, they clothed them in masks and costumes to look like the men who dressed up as Kachina spirits. They were also given to children as a means of learning about the Kachinas, or Gods. The Southwest Indians believed that the Kachinas would come down to earth and help them tend their fields; provide wisdom about agriculture and government. Drawings of these Kachinas have been found on cave walls.

Shawn Mendes: More wholesome than you ever were or will ever be
Kate Robertson | Contributing writer
Kate Robertson reviews Shawn Mendes, the ever-so-pure former Vine star who performed at Spark Arena on Saturday.
Saturday night saw 19-year-old Shawn Mendes, a star so clean-cut Disney could only dream of stamping their brand on him, grace us with his pristine presence for the first time. It's a gig I've not stopped yapping on about for the past nine months, so not even my germ-gremlin status could stop me seeing the hitmaker fill Spark Arena with his pop-rock anthems.
We find our seats just as he arrives on stage and Spark Arena is already at fever pitch. Opening with a crash-bang version of chart-topper 'There's Nothing Holding Me Back', the Canadian dreamboat has us hooked on his every move from the first note.
By the second track 'Lights On', a bop in which he coos about wanting to love us with the energy-saving light bulbs on (chivalry is not dead!), it is clear that the shared crush we're all harbouring is distinct from the panicked fandom of the One Direction fans I witnessed in 2010. The piercing screams are replaced by something gentler and more soothing. It's a respectful crush, appropriate for the wholesome theme of the evening.
As someone whose own innocent days are now a distant memory (thank you university for teaching me about Marxism and ruining my faith in humanity), Mendes' glass-half-full optimism has me wishing I was 18 again for the first time ever. I hate it, and I curse the curly haired swoon-machine for making me feel such things.
Shawn isn't a player and he definitely isn't out to break your heart like it's a competitive sport. Even from the stands, you can tell he's nothing short of a gentleman. My friend Grace says he would always text you back. When he sings of a girl who broke his heart we both vow to never let him be a consolation prize and always give him the love he deserves.
Even the chaperone dads know all the words to all the songs, gleefully swinging their arms around and getting a groove on. I'm guessing they're probably just happy to have a night off from the Moana soundtrack. Yep, there were still the token dads sitting by the bar scrolling Facebook (what a waste of $80 – just pick your kid up outside!) but they were the vast minority, and they missed out on a damn good bonding experience with their kids.
Now, before you think love has blinded me, you can bet I got all 'hell no' when he dropped the first verse of Ed Sheeran's 'Castle On The Hill' while perched over at the emotional piano stage. I'm paying $140 to see that played against my will in March thank you very much. He obviously feels the mood change and moves into another song with the smoothness of a DJ Earworm end-of-year mashup.
He's also not much of a chatty Cathy. It's something which would normally fill me with rage and disappointment but, with Shawn it's fine. Whenever he speaks the sparkle disappears, the Prince Charming illusion shatters and I remember there are two sides to every break-up and he's definitely no angel.
One of his more so-so songs Grace and I find common ground over is 'Bad Reputation', which feels like it's sung directly to us. It's the song for the 20-somethings of the room who are mostly just trying not to get drunk on weeknights and pay rent on time. "She got a bad reputation, she takes the long way home," he sings, and we both appreciate that even the best of us have done things we shouldn't have at 3am at Grand Central on a Tuesday. But he's not here to judge us. Life is messy and this wise old 19-year-old knows that.
'Never Be Alone' seems an appropriate pre-encore end to the show, by which point dads are rocking their sleepy children, teenagers' faces shift from elation to sadness over the pending farewell, and mums are swaying with a nostalgic contentment my own mother would reserve only for Harry Styles and the closing credits of Love Actually. The show feels complete, and just like that, he's gone.
In a world where pre-drinking goes hand in hand with any social event, there's something so pure about being in a room full of conscious, sober people, completely absorbed in this one person standing on stage with a guitar. It's a rare and special thing, and as cringey and lame as it sounds, for those of us who feel we've traipsed in and out of gigs just like this a million times before, it's a reminder of the fire our favourite artists once set alight inside of us, however many years ago.
As we exit the arena in a particularly orderly fashion, Grace asks whether I think Shawn will be having an after party. We pause for a second, before laughing at the thought, both agreeing that our new best friend is definitely heading home to a cup of warm milk and a good book like the wholesome young man he is.

Jerusalem Mayor Welcomes Trump With Video Blasting Obama

Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat posted a video on his Facebook page on Thursday welcoming Donald Trump's planned inauguration on Friday as the United States' 45th president.
Moving U.S. embassy to Jerusalem only requires new sign on consulate building, city officials say
Trumpwashing for the 'pro-Israel' Camp: Just say you might move the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem
Believing it's 'game over' for Netanyahu, Israel's political arena gears up for elections
The video is cross-posted from an Israelwelcomestrump.com web site.
In his message, translated into English with subtitles, Barkat, who has sought to challenge Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's leadership of the right-wing Likud party, lambastes the outgoing Obama administration.
He accuses Obama of seeking to stop settlement building, of having "surrendered to the Iranians and radical Islam" and "abandoning" Israel to a United Nations Security Council resolution last month against settlements built in occupied territory.
"During the last eight years the Obama administration has pushed for" a settlement freeze, Barkat says.
Barkat urges supporters to join in signing a thank you letter to Trump for his pledge to move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem.
"Let's all welcome him as our friend," Barkat says.

BBQ, which charms us into doing it in a hot, summer day!
BBQ, which is what is called Barbie in Australia!
BBQ, which I don't know why people call like this, but everyone in the house loves!
So, we held a BBQ party at Firsthouse Mizonokuchi 100+a!!
What is a luxury is plenty of meat seasoned beforehand by a pro chef living in the house!!
Also, an outside, kid-size pool to prevent heat attack!!
This is what's our BBQ venue like!!
After preparation, time for BBQ!!
It was the first BBQ ever for some of the residents. We enjoyed chatting, eating, and drinking!
Even residents who moved in recently became friends with others and seemed like they had so much fun!
The weather was very good: really hot, but breeze cooled us down!!
I think the reason why everyone, regardless of there nationalities, loves BBQ is that we can enjoy talking with lots of people and food tastes better in an open, spacious place!!
This rolling sausage is a typical BBQ food in Italy!
I didn't know that! As they feel hot, they took a break at the pool, enjoying a summer time!!
In the middle of the party, a kind resident presented us with ice cream!!
Nothing is better than BBQ and Gatsunto-Mikan (a name of the ice-cream, frozen mandarin orange)!!
The time for BBQ was over before sunset, but the residents are so helpful that we finished the cleaning in a moment!
I really appreciate it!! I love you all having fun even with cleaning!!!!


In a Victorian-first, cervical cancer patients at Austin Health's Olivia Newton-John (ONJ) Cancer Wellness and Research Centre are benefitting from a new treatment which allows radiation therapy to be administered at higher dosage while minimising damage to surrounding organs.
Austin Health Radiation Oncologist Dr Adeline Lim says the introduction of the state-of-the-art Venezia applicator will have enormous benefits for patients with advanced stage cervical cancer.
"It means that even large tumours can be targeted effectively with a very high dose of radiation, hence increasing the chance of cure," Dr Lim says.
"Not only does it enable a higher dose to be delivered to the cancer but it also allows us to reduce the dose delivered to normal organs, such as the bladder. This not only means a higher chance of tumour control but also a reduced risk of long-term side effects and an improved quality-of-life,'' Dr Lim explains.
Dr Lim says chemo-radiation is the standard line of treatment for locally advanced cervical cancer and the radiation component is a combination of external beam radiation therapy followed by a high dose of brachytherapy.
Brachytherapy is a form of radiotherapy which is delivered internally. It allows the cancer to be treated to a very high dose whilst enabling normal organs to receive a much lower dose compared to external beam radiotherapy - this increases the chance of cure and reduces the risk of side effects.
"The Venezia applicator is the latest gynaecological brachytherapy applicator on the market and Austin Health's ONJ Centre is the first site in the state to invest in this state-of-the-art equipment. We are very excited to be able to offer this service to Victorian patients" Dr Lim says.
Approximately 180 Victorian women are diagnosed with cervical cancer each year.

On the other side
East of the Callejón de Huaylas lies the famous Cordillera Blanca. The higher mountains - which means most of them - are covered by glaciers, hence the name. The Cordillera Negra, on the western side of the valley, is lower and drier. It's far from black, as the name implies, but there are no glaciers.
In the northern part, some of the summits of the Cordillera Negra top the 5000m mark. In the south, one of the highest peaks is Cerro Huancapeti. My map says it's 4976m. I'm not sure, but I think it may be a bit higher.
On my first visit, I didn't even get close. I hadn't started early enough and I wasted some time trying to find my way to the mountain. A day later, I started earlier and knew the area a bit better. I got as far as the central summit this time, which, despite a big cairn on top, appeared to be lower than the southern one. However, it was late in the day already, too late to search for a way up there.
Where exactly is the summit of Cerro Huancapeti?
When I later googled Cerro Huancapeti, I found quite a few results, but all with very little information. In a nutshell, the sites I found said it was a mountain, gave an inaccurate location and the wrong elevation.
Often, the location was given as 9°47' S, 77° 32' W, and the elevation as something just over 4400m. Now, for that location, looking at Google Maps or OpenStreetMap, that's the elevation all right. However, based on the the AV map of Cordillera Blanca Süd, Google Maps (see below), OpenStreetMap and my own observations, the summit location is (-9.787,-77.522) or 9° 47' 15" S, 77° 31' 20" W (rounded to the nearest 5"). To verify that location, I compared the Satellite View with some of the photos I took.
If you are using Google Chrome or Firefox, you'll see embedded interactive maps below, Google and OpenStreetMap. MS Internet Explorer sometimes has problems with embedding so you may not see them properly.
In some parts, the terrain is more rugged than the contours suggest, so don't take them too literally. For the same reason, I believe that the actual summit is higher than what the contours show.

Italy: Lazio Ducks forfeit semifinal game due to more COVID-19 cases; Milano Seamen advance to final
The Italian Federation of American Football, FIDAF, has announced that the semifinal game between the Milano Seamen and Lazio Ducks that had been postponed 10 days to due COVID-19, has now been cancelled.
Following a mandatory 10 day quarantine period, more cases of the virus have now been discovered on the Ducks team prior to their departure to Milan for tonight's game.
As a result, Lazio has been forced to forfeit the game and the Milano Seamen will now advance to the Italian championship game July 17 where they will face the Parma Panthers. Parma won their semifinal game against Firenze Guelfi 55-20.
The Ducks and Seamen semifinal game was originally scheduled for July 3 but one of the Lazio players tested positive for the virus in the team hotel in Milan on the morning of the game so the entire team returned to Rome where they immediately went into quarantine for 10 days.
Needless to say, Lazio Ducks head coach Dan Pippin is disappointed:
"It's not often I am at a loss for words but today I am. As always the health of our players is our main concern. But we have had an unbelievable season. I am very proud of our players and organization. We wish we were able to play but with the circumstances of the day we are not."
Lazio finished third in the Italian standings after opening the season with two straight losses and qualified for the semifinals on the final day of the regular season.
Milano Seamen head coach Michael Wood, whose team will now face the only team to have beaten them this year in Italy, understands how disappointing this must be.
"Obviously it is disappointing to not play the game. We have been preparing for the last 2 and 1/2 weeks and now the game is cancelled again. I feel bad for the Lazio Organization. This could have happened to any team, especially before the semi-final is heartbreaking.
"As has been said time and again we can only worry about the things that we can control. This was something that is was out of our hands and now we have to more forward and prepare our team for the next challenge. Again I am sorry that the game is off and that the Lazio guys missed out on a great experience, playing a play-off game. But this is just another chapter in this crazy COVID season."
Italian Bowl 40 will be on Saturday, July 17 at 7p CET Piacenza, Itay at Stadio Garilli.

Wood Group in $250-million agreement for operating services on CATS
Wood Group has entered into a $250-million agreement with Antin Infrastructure Partners (Antin IP) to provide operating services for the Central Area Transmission System (CATS) in the North Sea for up to 10 years, subject to certain regulatory and other consents.
Wood Group PSN (WGPSN) will act as the duty holder of the CATS terminal and pipeline and will have day-to-day responsibility for operations. A dedicated Wood Group Kenny (WGK) team based in Glasgow will be integrated into the operating services team to provide pipeline management expertise.
CATS transports gas through 404 km of pipeline from the Central North Sea to its terminal in Teesside in the UK where it is then processed on behalf of major North Sea gas producers. The system serves 34 producing fields with a high portion of contracted revenues. In 2013, CATS accounted for the transportation of 13% of UK domestic gas production.
The news follows the announcement that Antin has agreed to acquire BP's share of CATS taking their interest to 99%. WGPSN will work closely with Antin IP and BP to ensure a safe and smooth transition. It is anticipated WGPSN will take responsibility for operating CATS by the end of 2015 once the deal between BP and Antin IP has concluded.

Nevada Early Voting Results & Polling Hours 2016
By	Ricky Campbell
Updated Oct 27, 2016 at 12:43pm
Voters cast their ballots at a polling place on May 3, 2016 in Fowler, Indiana. (Getty)
The first week of early voting began in Nevada on Saturday, Oct. 22, and to date, Democrats have turned out in higher numbers than Republicans. Of the more than 240,000 voters have submitted ballots in Nevada, nearly half have been registered Democrats.
Nevada, a battleground state, has more Democrats registered to vote than the GOP, according to the Secretary of State's office. Of the 1.6 million registered voters in Nevada, 666,222 are Democrats, 547,429 are Republicans and 355,570 are unaffiliated. The remainder are associated with third parties.
The Secretary of State's office reports through Wednesday morning that 112,616 Democrats have voted, along with 84,528 Republicans and 46,479 in the "other" category.
The Secretary of State's website also provides information on early voting sites and hours by county. Most polling places are open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

How to Register to Vote in Nevada
Political scientist and UNLV professor David Damore told the Las Vegas Review-Journal the high Democratic turnout is good news for candidates like Hillary Clinton and Senate hopeful Catherine Cortez Masto.
The turnout in the Silver State this year has been higher than it was in 2012 — the toss-up state went to President Barack Obama in both 2008 and 2012 — and some believe it's due to Sen. Harry Reid's political machine. According to the Washington Post, as much as 60 percent of the vote will be cast before Nov. 8.
Clinton is currently ahead in most polls in tightening polls in Nevada. RealClearPolitics gives her a 2 point advantage after the latest Review-Journal poll came out with Clinton leading Donald Trump by 7 points. The state chose both Clinton and Trump in its partisan caucuses earlier this year.
And while there's "As goes Ohio, so goes the nation," there's also Nevada, which has the highest percentage of choosing the correct presidential candidate. Smart Politics, a nonpartisan political news site focused on data, reports that while Ohio has voted with the winning presidential candidate over the past 13 cycles, Nevada has the highest rate of selecting the winning president — 96 percent — since 1912.

Reasons why Ottawa's attempts to have Google and Facebook pay for news content fall short
Bill C-18, the Online News Act, is trying to get the dominant digital platforms to negotiate mutually-acceptable agreements with Canada's online news outlets.
We have seen drastic changes in the media industry over the last two decades. Between 2008 and 2021, more than 450 news outlets closed across Canada and at least one-third of journalism jobs disappeared.
The digital platform giants — notably Google and Facebook — are very much part of this media ecosystem, but are they positive contributors?
By reproducing or linking to articles they don't create, but earn ad revenue from — they claimed 80 per cent of online ad revenues, or almost $10 billion, in 2020 — these big tech companies seem to deprive news publishers their rightful due. So should publishers be compensated for the use of their content?
The Online News Act
Many countries have debated this question; few have acted. In 2019, the European Union instituted a so-called "link tax" — essentially a licensing fee that search engines and news aggregators have to pay publishers for using their content. In 2021, Australia brought in a law that compels Google and Facebook to negotiate deals with the country's news publishers.
Now, Canada is weighing in. In April, the federal government tabled legislation that channels Australia's approach. Bill C-18, the Online News Act, is a sharp-elbowed nudge to get the dominant digital platforms to negotiate mutually-acceptable agreements with Canada's online newspapers, magazines and TV and radio broadcasters.
If they cannot come to terms, the parties would have to enter a binding arbitration overseen by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC), the arm's-length regulator. If enacted, would Bill C-18 "contribute to the sustainability of the news market," as the government promises?
It's true that news outlets have struggled to make money ever since the internet upended their gravy train — classified ads and print subscriptions. But it's also true that search engines and aggregators have expanded the online news market. They direct substantial traffic to the publishers' websites, particularly traffic from casual readers that otherwise would not take place.
News outlets have struggled to make money in recent years.
A look at the 'link tax'
There is no evidence that shows news outlets are worse off because of Google, Facebook and other aggregators. If anything, evidence (and lots of it) shows that, overall, news outlets would be in worse shape without these digital platforms.
That's what I found in a study I undertook with economist Joan Calzada of the "link tax" imposed by Spain (before the EU-wide directive was instituted in 2019).
In 2014, Spain began forcing aggregators such as Google News to pay a link fee to original publishers. Google responded by shutting down its Spanish edition. We found that after the shutdown, Spanish news outlets experienced a reduction in the number of daily visits of between eight and 14 per cent.
To add insult to injury, advertisers stopped placing ads on their sites, causing a collapse in ad revenues. Particularly hard hit were smaller news publishers — lower-ranked sites with a larger share of casual readers.
During the same period, Germany instituted a link fee as well. In this case, Google News required German publishers to waive the linking fee. A study from the University of Munich found that publishers deciding to opt out from Google indexing faced disastrous consequences: daily visits to their sites significantly dropped and traffic was diverted to competing sites that opted into indexing.
These and other studies show news publishers benefit from the Googles of the world. So would Bill C-18, as it currently stands, really change anything for the better?
Right side of policy
The current debate is based on a false premise, that news outlets are not already being compensated, instead of focusing on the rightful split of joint revenues between the platform and the content creator.
If Bill C-18 passes, we can expect big publishers to receive most of the funds — that's what happened in Europe and Australia. Smaller media outlets with low brand awareness will suffer unless they band together and bargain collectively with the digital giants.
Between 2008 and 2021, more than 450 news outlets closed across Canada.
We can expect Google, Facebook and their ilk to adjust their market behaviour. What would stop them, for example, from tweaking their algorithms to benefit news publishers offering the most favourable arrangements?
Recent evidence shows Google Australia started recommending less "expensive" content after the law was passed in Australia.
Alternative policy responses must be considered. In the past, when Google faced similar legal trouble, France and Belgium set up lump sum funds that were shared by news publishers based on a predetermined formula. Such an approach ensures a fair distribution of funds across content creators and doesn't distort market behaviour of the platforms involved.
Bill C-18 is just one of three pieces of legislation now being considered by the House of Commons. There is also a proposed bill that addresses hate speech and other online abuses and another that brings online streaming services under the Broadcasting Act.
It's clear Canadians approve; polling shows a majority support greater government regulation on the internet. While it's good to be on the right side of public opinion, it's better to be on the right side of policy.
Ricard Gil received funding from the University of Pennsylvania's Center for Technology, Innovation and Competition (CTIC) and Warren Center for Network & Data Science to study the impact of search engines on the online news market.

BYU football previews, recaps, and analyses
2018 BYU Schedule
BYU 42, Idaho 7
By Jeremy Kidd November 19, 2011 BYU Cougars football idaho riley nelson vandals
Sometimes coaches, like players, need to hold their peace rather than give the opposing team some locker room ammunition. Idaho head coach Robb Akey stated back in July that BYU was "not on the same level" as their other big-name opponents (Texas A&M and Virginia). The Cougars must have not taken kindly to those words, as the 42-7 drubbing they put on the Vandals was the worst they'd suffered this year. (A&M beat them 37-7, and Virginia needed OT to beat the Vandals 21-20).
This says it all
Riley Nelson was knocked out of the game early, as he was hit hard after throwing a touchdown pass. This wasn't enough to stop the Cougar offense, however, as they rolled up 505 total yards, with 262 passing and 243 rushing. Jake Heaps looked good against the Vandals, going 15/20 for 185 yards, 2 TDs and 1 INT.
Special Teams. Apparently the punting squad got the practice they needed, as there were no long-snap issues today, and the punt unit had two successful punts for a total of 84 yards
What we know about Idaho (2-8, 1-4 WAC)
Idaho is well outside the realm of bowl contention at this point, with just two games remaining. Next up for them is Utah State, who can win just two of its last three to become bowl eligible. With two of those being Idaho and New Mexico State, the Aggies will be quite motivated. The last game for Idaho will be WAC-leading Nevada.
What we know about BYU (7-3)
The Cougars have to hope for a speedy recovery for Riley. I have no problem with the Cougars' chances against New Mexico State; but Hawaii is a different story. The Warriors are somewhat bi-polar this season, and you don't know which team you'll face. One things for sure, playing @ Hawaii is not a cakewalk. I'd like to know Riley can make the flight, but if he can't, the game will be a good measuring stick of Jake's progress, so long as the right Hawaii team shows up.
