Rob Vischer serves as dean of the University of St. Thomas School of Law. His scholarship explores the intersection of law, religion, and public policy, with a particular focus on the religious and moral dimensions of professional identity. His recent book from Cambridge University Press, Martin Luther King Jr. and the Morality of Legal Practice: Lessons in Love and Justice pushes back against the individualist premises underlying our modern conception of the lawyer's role by exploring Dr. King's vision of "the beloved community." In an earlier book, Conscience and the Common Good: Reclaiming the Space Between Person and State (Cambridge Univ. Press 2010), Vischer defines and defends the relational dimension of conscience and identifies ways in which our legal system can better maintain the communal venues in which the dictates of conscience are shaped, articulated, and lived out.
His scholarship has appeared in the Georgetown Journal of Legal Ethics, Illinois Law Review, Notre Dame Law Review, Florida Law Review, Indiana Law Review, Stanford Journal of Law & Policy, Washington University Law Review, Journal of Law & Religion, Legal Ethics, Journal of Catholic Social Thought, and Journal of Catholic Legal Studies, among others. He also writes for the magazine Commonweal and blogs regularly at Mirror of Justice and Legal Ethics Forum. Vischer teaches Professional Responsibility, Torts, Family Law, Foundations of Justice, and The Religious Lawyer. He was voted Professor of the Year by the graduating class in 2008 and 2011, and he received the Dean's Award for Outstanding Teaching in 2007.
Vischer came to St. Thomas from St. John's University Law School, where he was an Assistant Professor of Law and Fellow of the Vincentian Center for Church and Society. While at St. John's, Vischer received the Dean's Award for Excellence in Teaching and was voted Professor of the Year by the student body. Previously, Vischer was associated with Kirkland & Ellis in Chicago, where he practiced corporate litigation. He clerked for three federal judges: Judge David Ebel of the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals, Judge Joan Gottschall of the Northern District of Illinois, and Judge John Wiese of the Court of Federal Claims. He received his B.A. degree, summa cum laude, from the University of New Orleans, and his J.D., cum laude, from Harvard Law School, where he was an editor of the Harvard Law Review.

Un casse-noix (parfois également appelé casse-noisette) est un ustensile de cuisine servant à casser les noix, et plus généralement les fruits secs à coque, tels qu'amandes, noisettes, etc.

Principe
Trois principes physiques sont généralement employés :
 la percussion (le marteau et l'enclume) ;
 la démultiplication de la force appliquée sur un bras de levier ;
 la pression par une vis.

Bien que cet ustensile, ou plutôt instrument de cuisine, utilisé aussi à table, soit d'un emploi relativement limité, il en existe une grande variété de réalisations qui se distinguent non seulement par les principes physiques utilisés mais aussi par les matériaux employés et par l'ornementation figurative ou non.

Le procédé le plus ancien est sans conteste celui de la percussion. C'est celui qu'emploient les primates pour casser leur noix entre deux pierres. C'est celui utilisé traditionnellement dans les régions de production des noix lors des séances d'énoisage, qui consiste à frapper les noix d'un coup sec et bien dosé, à l'aide d'un maillet de bois, pour briser la coquille et extraire les cerneaux intacts.

Le procédé le plus répandu est celui de la pince, qui utilise l'effet de levier, mais qui présente le double inconvénient de ne pas permettre un dosage précis de l'effort, avec le risque d'écraser les cerneaux et de laisser s'échapper les débris de la coquille.

Le casse-noix à vis, que l'on trouve plus rarement, permet au contraire un écrasement progressif de la coquille, mais son emploi n'est pas pratique.

Les inventeurs ont donc proposé des améliorations du casse-noix à pince, dont beaucoup ont été brevetées, malgré leur intérêt très anecdotique. Les matériaux utilisés sont aussi très variés : métal (fer, acier, aluminium, bronze, cuivre, alliages), bois de diverses essences, notamment l'olivier, matières plastiques et résines.

Les casse-noix sont des instruments manuels, mais il existe aux États-Unis des casse-noix électriques, qui permettent de casser la coque très dure de certains fruits secs, comme les noix de macadamia.

Certains casse-noisettes à levier, en bois peint, figurant des personnages (soldats, rois) sont produits traditionnellement en Allemagne dans les monts Métallifères. Ils sont devenus des objets de décoration et de collection.

Dans ce tableau de John Everett Millais, peintre et illustrateur britannique préraphaélite du , le personnage au premier plan à gauche se sert d'un casse-noix. Le tableau a été peint en 1849 mais la scène, qui illustre un poème de John Keats, Isabella, or the Pot of Basil, est censée se passer au Moyen Âge.

Casse noisettes décoratifs

Ces figurines en bois, appelées à l'origine Nussbeisser, ont commencé à être fabriquées vers 1650 à Berchtesgaden et à partir de 1735 à Sonneberg. Dans les Monts Métallifères, la fabrication des figurines de Casse-Noisette s'est répandue au cours de la seconde moitié du 19e siècle, avec pour centre Seiffen. L'aspect souvent farouche des visages de Casse-Noisette ressemble aux autorités de l'époque (garde forestier, gendarme, roi, hussard, etc.).

History reveals that Christmas, New Year , etc... all originated in Babylon as festivals celebrated by the Heathen in honour of their Pagan Gods, but were given "christian" meaning by the Catholic Church in order to convert the idol worshippers to Constantine's new "Christian" religion. The Catholic Church simply took these seasonal feasts and festivals celebrated by the heathen and transformed them into 'Christian' celebrations or "Christianized" them in order to make Christianity more meaningful to pagan converts.
They came to focus their eyes upon Jesus the infant and Mary His Mother. Many people were coming to the notion that his birthday should be observed. This idea came about as the "Church" began to regard Mary, the mother of Jesus in a new light. She had long been revered along with the saints and Apostles, but only along with them. But in the same fourth century she emerges as the Queen of Heaven. The Christmas story of the Birth of Jesus has marked an era of time, recording ends and beginnings as years glide into centuries, and centuries into millennia.
Coming to the Christmas with reference to The Holy Bible, the basic story occupies hardly a page of the Bible which is divided into two sections the 'OLD' and 'NEW TESTAMENTS'.The old Testament contains many prophecies, one of them speaking of a redeemer who would bring back people to God and give them complete salvation. According to the Christians the birth and life of Jesus is the fulfillment of this prophecy.Mathew 5:17 says "Do not think that I have come to do away with the Law of Moses and the teachings of the prophets. I have not come to do away with them, but to make their teachings come true".
The birth of Jesus Christ explained like this. "His Mother Mary was engaged to Joseph, but before they were married, she found out that she was going to have a baby by the Holy Spirit. Joseph was a man who always did what was right, but he did not want to disgrace Mary publicly; so made plans to break the engagement privately. While he was thinking about this, an Angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph, descendant of David, do not be afraid to take Mary to be your wife, for it is by the Holy spirit that she has conceived. she will have a son, and you will name him JESUS because he will save his people from their sins".
Now all this happened in order to make what the Lord had said through the prophet come true, "a virgin will become pregnant and have a son, and he will be called Immanuel" (which means, "God is with us"). Mathew (1:18:23).

Keeping It Real – Why Did Jesus Have To Be Executed?
Sure, you probably have explained to your child that Jesus was killed as a sacrifice, but depending on the age of your child the only idea of sacrifice she or he has comes from giving a few coins for the collection on Sunday in lieu of buying candy with it. The idea of blood sacrifices – such as it was stipulated for the Israelites when they had left Egypt – has probably not very clearly been taught to your child. After all, the cute little lambs and goats that accompany the pictures in Bibles for children are rarely if ever associated with the sacrifices made by the Levite priests in order that the sins of the people could be forgiven.
Yet without an understanding of the idea of blood sacrifice, your child will have a hard time understanding that Jesus' sacrifice some 2007 years ago was just that – a sacrifice for our sins. Children need to understand that the laws God gave, such as the Ten Commandments, are God's expectation of righteous living, yet everyone who ever lived has broken at the very least one but more likely than not an overwhelming number if not all of them. At some point, a person runs out of sheep and goats to sacrifice.
You may wish to point out that you and your family do not own any sheep or goats, and thus having nothing to give to God as a sacrifice. Furthermore, since the Ten Commandments make us conscious of the sins committed, it is imperative that we make things right with God again. Yet how would you go about this – without the required sacrifice?
God knew of our problems before the Israelites in the desert even realized that at some point they would run out of sheep and goats to make up for their sins. This is why God decided to accept one sacrifice as a final sacrifice: a first born male, perfect, who would willingly take on the sins of every person on earth and thus pay the price in blood so that you and I do not have to. In the whole world, no such person could be found until the Son of God, who was with God from the beginning, willingly consented to step down to earth to become that very sacrifice.
If you – and your child – understand that what Jesus did was a freewill offering, a sacrifice entered into knowingly and without reservation, an act that Jesus at His discretion could have stopped at any second, this Easter will become more than a time of painted eggs – it will be a celebration of sacrifice, triumph, and gratitude. After all, who is not grateful to have someone else give a life for them, not incidentally, but with premeditation?

Angiostrongylus Cantonensis Infection in Rats and Rhesus Monkeys, and Observations on the Survival of the Parasite in Vitro
Paul P. Weinstein, Leon Rosen, Gert L. Laqueur and Thomas K. Sawyer
The slugs Limax maximus and Deroceras reticulatum were found to act as intermediate hosts for Angiostrongylus cantonensis. Infections in white rats were fatal when worm burdens reached 50 to 60 and above but became chronic and persisted for many months when 5 to 10 worms were present. Naturally-infected wild rats tend to have worm burdens which are similar to or somewhat higher than the latter. Discharge of first-stage larvae in feces of heavily infected white rats reached mean values of approximately 100,000 per ml of feces, whereas the mean for lightly infected rats ranged between 6,000 and 12,000 larvae per ml. One rat infected with 23 larvae developed paraplegia on the 31st day of infection.
Experimental infections in monkeys with A. cantonensis did not give rise to overt symptoms. Four monkeys were necropsied, respectively, on days 17, 24, 32 and 69 after infection; fifth-stage worms were found in the brain of each except the last, in which there were, however, lesions consistent with the infection. The worms were retarded in development compared to those from rats sacrificed at similar time intervals and were also smaller than the ones recovered from a human brain. By day 17, parasites in the brain had elicited a diffuse and severe eosinophilic meningoencephalitis. The presence of foreign-body granulomas around dead parasites indicated that some must have entered the brain earlier. As the time interval between ingestion of the parasite and death of the animal increased, the inflammatory reaction changed from a diffuse eosinophilic to a more focal and granulomatous response. The latter was most frequently related to fragments of dead worm. Although lesions similar to those seen in the brain were found in the spinal cord of all monkeys, parasites were not found in the meninges and cord proper in any of the monkeys.
Adult worms maintained in vitro survived best in medium NCTC 109 supplemented with serum. Maximum survival was 80 days for females and 64 days for males. Eggs deposited in vitro embryonated in 5 to 6 days, but only low percentages hatched. First-stage larvae cultured in vitro in various media showed no growth.

Cook Your Meat Perfectly With Science – This Girl Loves to Eat!
I love beef of nearly any cut, but I can't stand it if it's overcooked! I saw a headline for a way to cook it to a perfect degree of doneness every time and clicked on it immediately. I did get struck by the giggles at the name of the not-so-new online cooking tool created by three girls at MIT in 2013: Cook My Meat.
Come on, COOK MY MEAT? It doesn't give your inner 12 year old the giggles?
Alright, I'll revert to my adult self.
#CookMyMeat was created by Kate Roe, Laura Breiman, and Marissa Stephens, students at MIT in 2013.
The girls developed the tool by calculating heat diffusion in the meat at each time step with the Crank-Nicolson method, using On Food and Cooking: The Science and Lore of the Kitchen as a guidepost for protein denaturaization temperatures.

Patsy, the information was sent on November 6, 2018 under From "Sun City Anthem" with the topic "SCA Opinion Poll" . Coincidentally, on October 24th, I received a Test message from the AssociationVoice.com which is apparently how the eblasts get sent out. You may want to call Andrew Leary (702-614-5873) to see why you aren't getting timely information.
So, if I read Elyssa's reply correctly, it's the flag that is put into the " flag holder" that may be the United States flag, other patriotic flags, or flags appropriate for holidays. Doesn't say I can't hang a Vegas Knights flag from one of my recently installed TREES, does it?????


I have a regret in my life. It's something that became a part of my personality for many years and have only just recently took steps to correct it. I regret the fact that I'm scared of talking. It baffled me why I didn't take the time earlier to think about why I am like this and didn't do anything about it.
Thinking back, there were two major factors, my upbringing and my history of screw ups. Living 17 years in a household with Korean parents teaches you many things and one of the most sacred rules you come across is learning to hold your tongue. It was very stark contrast to the more liberal attitude of Canada, the country I was living in. I wanted to live like a Canadian teen but my parents made sure I never say anything out of line. If there was any part of me left that wants to try to prove myself, there was always the chance that I would mess up, and it happened to me more than I would like. Wrong notes in piano recitals, slurred paragraphs in French speeches, and dropped props in church plays really doesn't help one's confidence.
So what do you get when you mix tongue biting and embarrassing memories? You get a little imp in the back of your head telling you to shut up. Call it what you will, sad, pathetic, unrealistic, but there exists a fear of being wrong in every situation. That fear then expands to being wrong and having that mistake cling to you for a long time. There's a reason why in surveys about phobias, public speaking ranks so very high. While a tarantula is visible and you know what happens when you're bit, saying even a few words always has the chance that you'll slip up and you don't know when and if it will hit.
Everyday life becomes hindered. I really should be asking questions in class, practicing my Korean without worrying, and letting out my full scope of my opinion in conversations. But instead I stayed quiet, avoided conversations with other Koreans, and people just awkwardly drop conversations when I give one worded answers.
Fortunately, I started to grow out of it. Quite late, but improvement is being made. A huge step that really elevated me was a humanities class in my second year about technology and government. The class heavily emphasized discussion and speaking. The professor constantly reminded us that opinions will fluctuate and that no one is wrong. I took a risk and duct taped the imp's mouth. Everything I knew and learned was let out, and it felt nice just saying whatever was on my mind. I didn't give mind-blowing speeches, I just talked.
Most people probably won't understand this feeling, but there is something to take note here. We talk with our friends, classmates, professors, and we say what we need to say but often not what we want to say. There aren't a lot of opportunities with a lot of verbal liberty since we're limited by our fear of mistakes and the norm of memorizing facts and numbers. Koreans talking to foreigners and foreigners trying Korean can struggle since they may have so many questions for each other but words don't come out the right way and they become quiet from embarrassment. When was the last time you had a class where you dived into a subject and had an open discussion? Just the feeling of speaking freely can make a person feel strong.
So make as many mistakes as you can when you're chatting with your friend and maybe take a class where there is no right answer. Get into some debates and share your thoughts. Otherwise that imp is going to mock you for the rest of your life.

Bolton Street | Eltham District Historical Society Inc.
Following our earlier article about the origin of road and street names let us look at the history of Main Road as it meanders through parts of Nillumbik and Banyule. It is one of the most identifiable roads in the district and in its earliest days was in fact the main road through the area. While perhaps a bit unimaginative, it was just came to be called Main Road through common usage.
Main Road starts at the Plenty River, Lower Plenty, the western boundary of the former Shire of Eltham. It continues through Lower Plenty, Montmorency South, Eltham and Research to the boundary of Kangaroo Ground at Bells Hill Road. Beyond this point its official name is Eltham-Yarra Glen Road while west of the Plenty River it is known as Lower Plenty Road.
Main Road has its origin in a proclamation in 1840 under the Parish Roads Act of a road "between the" Suburban Allotments in the Parish of Jika Jika (North Fitzroy and the Village Reserve in the Parish of Nillumbik (Eltham). In many places the alignment of the road followed the dray track to Yarra Flats established by the Ryrie brothers more than ten years earlier.
From the Plenty River the road passed through the land that had been recently purchased by Benjamin Baxter. It followed the line of today's Main Road and Old Eltham Road and ended at today's Bolton Street.
In 1850 a track along the Old Eltham Road route continued on towards Kangaroo Ground, roughly following the line of Main Road through the proposed Government township of Eltham and unsold Crown land. However, Holloway's 1851 Little Eltham subdivision north of the township reserve made no provision for a through road, although between Dalton Street and York Street, Maria Street (Main Road) generally followed the well-worn track to Kangaroo Ground.
In 1869 the Eltham District Road Board opened a new road from Lower Plenty to Bolton Street, bypassing Old Eltham Road, which is what we now use when travelling along Main Road. Together with this new section and the formal connection to Kangaroo Ground, the whole length of today's Main Road came into being. However, it would be many years before the road proclaimed in the 1850s provided convenient all weather access. How things have changed!

The Pulse of Entertainment: Nickelodeon Premiers New Sit-com 'Cousins for Life' and Will Downing's 'The Promise,' Featuring Kirk Whalum and Regina Belle, is Amazing
By Eunice Moseley
On Saturday January 5, 2019 Nickelodeon premiered a new sit-com, "Cousins for Life," starring Dallas Dupree Young (HBO's "The Good Place") as Stuart and Scarlet Sofia Spencer (Netflix's "Bright") as Ivy, cousins forced to live under one roof. "Cousins for Life" airs on Nickelodeon Saturdays at 8:30 p.m. ET/PT.
"I watch so many Nickelodeon shows when I heard I was in the car going to acting class. I was screaming in the car," said Dallas about when he found out he got the lead role in a Nickelodeon comedy series. "I felt so bad for the people in the car with me."
Young is not new to acting even though he started in 2016. His credits already include the HBO series "The Good Place" from 2016 -2017, ABC's series "The Mayor" (2017), The Steven Spielberg director and Warner Bros Pictures presentation of Ready Player One (2018) and ABC Family's "The Fosters" (2018).
"My mom told me to bring my phone to her and she started recording me," Scarlet said about when she heard the news she would had a lead role in a Nickelodeon sit-com. "She called my agent who said I got the role, I was screaming!"
Guess the screaming on both their parts tell you how much passion they will put into the roles of Stuart and Ivy, who are 12 years-olds from very different back ground forced to live in one household. They learn however they are better together.
"This is the biggest role I've every had...I had recurring roles. It's a multiple camera show," Dallas pointed out about being on Nickelodeon, the number-one entertainment network watched by children reaching over 90 million household in just the United States. "(Stuart) He is an entrepreneur who is very creative but gets in sticky situations."
"(Ivy) She is an activist who wants to make the world a better place, but has a hard head," Scarlet said about her character. With the help of her mother she admitted that her character sounds a lot like her.
When asked what they hope kids watching the show learn from it Young said, "That even though you are cousins and you don't get along sometimes, you have to respect them."
Spencer said she hopes the show teaches viewers "how important family really is and to always be positive." www.Nick.com/Cousins-For_life
Will Downing recently released his first full Gospel album simply titled "The Promise" (Shanachie Entertainment). Downing and Randy Bowland produced the project that features saxophone support from Grammy Award winning Kirk Whalum and vocal support from Grammy Award winning Regina Belle. It is an amazing piece of work, thanks to the heart-felt vocals of Downing, the lyrical messages Downing and Bowland provide as songwriters, the exquisite harmony the background vocalists give and the cherry on this spiriting cake is the power Kirk and Regina bring.
Offering 10 selections "The Promise" gives a Jazz twist to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. My favorite selections on the album include #1 "Take it to the Cross," which features Kirk Whalum, just for that reason it puts a Jazz twist to Gospel and uses the old spiritual phrase "take it to the cross." "Take it to the cross" means give your problems to Jesus and don't worry about them - he got you. I also love the Praise and Worship feel Will Downing brings to "Take it to the Cross" as he takes the role of Preacher leading the choir in the "take it to the cross" chant. Of course Whalums' signature wailing on the sax brings the Soul to the single. As soon as I heard the sax solo I knew it was Kirk Whalum. I also love #3 "I Hear a Voice" because of Downings' sweet Jazzy voice, his excellent harmony with the background vocalists, the lyrical message and Will's vocal tone. The #4 selection "You Blessed My Life" was a favorite of mine because Will Downing's vocal superiority is kind of showing-off, along with the heart-felt message of the song and those high-notes Downing does really blessed me. I liked #5 "He Will Be There" because it's a great hand-clapping Praise and Worship song that inspires. The remake #7 "God is so Amazing" is a favorite because Will's heart-felt vocals are Heavenly and I love the message it gives that defines Jesus Christ, The last song on the album #10 "Changed" featuring Regina Belle is a favorite because it's a powerful love song to the glory of God. The lyrics reminded me of the one day when I was five years-old God "changed" me and I started to see the world differently. Regina's vocal support on "Changed" also makes it a vocally powerful song.
"It's the most attached I been to an album," Will said. " I did 'God is so Amazing' in 2007 when I was real sick. It sounds weak. Listen to the original and this one back to back to see God."
I did and he was right. www.WillDowning.com

This is one of the most delicate antique diamond engagement rings This is an interesting and unusual antique diamond engagement rings as its centre diamond is from 1920s and came during a time when Art Deco was leading the style of everything from pottery to architects. This diamond ring reflects the earlier Art Nouveau movement that took place a decade ago, which is something that makes it more unique and notable. This beautifully designed ring has two halos of diamonds and sapphires, each of 21 stones and is approx. 1.66ct, VS1 clarity and J colour. The combination of sapphire and diamond make an ideal piece when we talk about antique diamond engagement rings.

'Babe In The Woods' by Frank DeMarco: Destined to be a cult classic on par with David Lindsay's 'Voyage to Arcturus'
I experienced a minor synchronistic "mind blast" while reading this book.
Sometimes an author's style will remind me of another writer, but I can't put my finger on it right away. In this case, it had been nagging at me for some 250 pages, like a steady itch. Then suddenly on page 255 it crashed into my mind: CLIFFORD SIMAK! That's it! Ahhh! The itch was scratched!
But now the "mind blast": I finished reading page 255 and at the bottom of page 256, lo and behold, I find this sentence:
"I thought, unexpectedly, of Clifford Simak. Years ago, when I was a kid, I read one of his science fiction stories …"
Woo-hoo!
I don't mean to make too much of it, but it was just one of those tiny "That was a neat feeling!" moments of synchronicity when you get buffeted unexpectedly by a wave on the ocean of Universal Consciousness.
Anyway – after 250 pages of BABE IN THE WOODS – I think anyone would become more in tune to transcendent wavelengths. This book not only gives you an idea of what it is like to tap into expanded consciousness, but dishes out insight after insight – it actually makes you feel what it might be like to push yourself to the edge of higher consciousness – a rare literary feat.
It tells the story of an ordinary group of people from widely divergent walks of life and professions who come together to challenge themselves – to open up their minds, to reach for new concepts, to expand what it means to be an "ordinary" human being in our dreary world calcified by scientific-materialism.
The model for the situation is a real-life program offered by THE MONROE INSTITUTE of Faber, Virginia. The Monroe Institute is an organization founded by the late ROBERT MONROE who became famous after publishing his first book about his experiences with out-of-body travel.
"Journeys Out of Body" came out in 1971. It was an unlikely bestseller, and was followed up with two more books, "Far Journeys," and "Ultimate Journey."
Perhaps no other books on astral travel have been more influential. Part of the reason is that Robert Monroe had never been a mystic or associated with any of the established traditions (such as Theosophy, for example, or Eastern religions) which trucked in arcane dabblings like "soul travel" (which also had scary occult overtones for many mainstream folks).
Monroe was no-nonsense, successful businessman who had made a considerable fortune in the burgeoning 1940s-50s world of radio. He was an entirely grounded, nuts-and-bolts kind of guy. However, in the late 1950s, he began to undergo unwanted spontaneous out-of-body experiences. This prompted the pragmatic Monroe to launch into an intense study of what was happening to him.
The eventual result was the establishment of the Monroe Institute. Its original purpose was to study the OBE and all of the mind-boggling implications which fall out of the possibility that our physical bodies are not "all that there is," and indeed, that what we perceive as physical-material reality is not nearly all there is to consider.
The Monroe Institute developed a number of methods, mostly centered on sound technology that was designed to help any person achieve a state of higher or altered consciousness. These sound technologies leveraged something called binaural beats – and I won't go into detail here about them, except to say that it was demonstrated that when people listened to binaural beats through headphones while in a highly relaxed state and in a supportive environment, the result could be an out-of-body experience, or some kind of realization of transcendent thought – in short, an expansion of the mind.
So this book, Babe In The Woods, takes us through a group of people who have decided to put themselves through the paces of a Monroe Institute program – except here it is thinly fictionalized as the "Merriman Institute." Robert Monroe himself is fictionalized as "C.T" and his famous book, Journeys Out of Body is renamed "Extraordinary Potential."
This is an incredibly ambitious book because it necessarily must employ a large group of characters – some two dozen people involved in the program – whom the author is tasked with not only introducing us to, but must rely on the reader's patience as he builds them into believable characters of some depth, enough so that we can care about them and learn from them later.
The viewpoint character is modeled on the author himself — DeMarco is a veteran of several Monroe Institute programs.
DeMarco's fictional incarnation is Angelo Chiari, a reporter with the Philadelphia Inquirer. The premise is that his editor sends him to the Merriman Institute to do some stealthy investigative journalism – and hopefully come out with an expose that might blow the lid off the weird snake oil the Institute is most likely selling to gullible people with enough money and desperation to seek answers to life anywhere.
But these journalist are professionals – both editor and reporter are not out to do a pre-determined hack job. Rather, they intend to get the story in a fair and objective manner. They'll go where the facts lead them. If reporter Angel Chiari finds a legitimate program – he'll write about that. If not, it's blast away with both journalistic barrels. He very much expects it to be the latter, however.
The Chiari character is a classic example of what Henry Thoreau meant when he said: "Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them."
Chiari's career is okay, but on cruise control. His work has long since become bland and meaningless. The heat of his decades-long marriage has cooled to a husband and wife more akin to roommates. His relationship with his children is shallow and distant.
Chiari holds no particular cherished beliefs. He's a rational-materialist cog in the post-modern machine. He gets up every day and goes through the motions, running out the time clock on his life. His existence is like a tasteless block of tofu.
Perhaps it's his training as a journalist that saves him – his fundamental dedication to objectivity leaves the door open just enough for Chiari to approach the Merriman program with an open mind and reserved judgment. That small crack in that door is enough for the Larger Consciousness System (to borrow a term from physicist Tom Campbell) to send Chiari tantalizing, subtle clues to convince him that, by golly, there might be something more to his existence – something remarkable..
This is the fourth Frank DeMarco book I have read. His writing style puts me in the mind of not only Simak, but also Sinclair Lewis (winner of the Noble Prize for Literature). That's because there is a certain workmanlike doggedness to the way DeMarco hammers out his themes, and the way he develops and cobbles together his messages.
DeMarco somehow leverages the necessarily mundane and uses it to fetch glimpses of the transcendent. He is like a grounded, unspectacular Prometheus stealing fire from the gods, but bringing it back to us with the stolid work ethic of a UPS delivery truck driver.
Because of that, the insights we gain ultimately feel deeper and more authentic. DeMarco's works are characterized by a persistent and worrisome expression of doubt – the uncertainty of a person who knows he is threading a fine line between making sense of highly original and novel forms of information — while ever cognizant of the innate capacity of the human mind to fool itself with egoic delusions and struggles with Freudian "wish fulfillment."
I'm guessing that Babe In the Woods, published in 2008, has since found only a small audience, but I can imagine it developing an ardent cult following – much in the same way that A VOYAGE TO ARCTURUS by Scottish writer DAVID LINDSAY has persisted and moved people since it was published in 1920.
You might be wondering how I can compare the syrupy surrealism of Lindsay's 'Voyage' with DeMarco's more staid 'Babe,' but I would challenge the reader to read both — tell me if you don't see that, in a weird way, both works have the same heart.
Clifford Simak, Sinclair Lewis, David Lindsay — Frank DeMarco stands with guys like these in the literary world – and that's not a bad place to stand, indeed.

Very proud of my International Journalism class at Jinan University in Guangzhou! During November 2017, I gave lectures on culture, communication and media to this class and to MBA students of the JNU Business School. But most of my time I spent teaching an intensive course on International News Comparison and Analysis. The timing was perfect, with a couple of big news events, such as US president Trump visiting China and president Mugabe of Zimbabwe being forced to step down after losing support of the army.
In class, we did quite a few exercises, looking for all kinds of international and Chinese news reports and videos. As Google is not accessible, we used Baidu (having to click away the annoying advertisements popping up all the time). Evaluating media coverage of Trump's China visit, we decided to take a look at three international and three Chinese media websites during class. All classrooms have internet access and projection facilities (and, new this year, also cameras). For international websites, we chose the Guardian, BBC and CNN sites, as the New York Times website was blocked.
The opening story of the Guardian was Paradise Papers, an important story, but not interesting for my students who were looking for Trump in China. On the BBC website, the students were surprised by a video showing Chinese people in the streets reacting to the Trump visit, expressing their opinions quite eloquently both in English and Chinese. "It's tone and message are positive, we thought the BBC was always negative about China," the students said. Then we turned to CNN. Students concluded that the report, focusing on Xi is laying out the red carpet and seemingly wrapping Trump around his finger, offered the standard American narrative full of suspicion of China's rise.
For Chinese media, we turned to CGTN (formerly CCTV), China Daily and Global Times. We were somewhat surprised to find the CGTN site was still in full 19th Party Congress mode, banners and all. China Daily offered unexciting headlines and pictures of the Trump visit, not one story on the homepage looked interesting enough to click on. We glanced at a dossier on the visit, but one possibly interesting story was two weeks old. Global Times had a better choice of pictures and headlines. When I asked what category on the site might be worth looking at, they seemed oblivious of the fact that GT is known internationally for its editorials, whipping up nationalist sentiments.
At the end of the class, I asked which Trump-in-China story they liked best. Most stories and angles were deemed too predictable and it even proved hard to remember any specifics. But they could easily reproduce the contents of the BBC vox pop. That video story was the clear winner, to their own surprise.
And my personal conclusion? I learn so much about China during these teaching stints, about journalism, but also about developments in Chinese society and politics. And above all about what subjects matter to students, as I asked them to do presentations about forgotten stories they cared about. More on that in my next blog.
One Thought on "Teaching in China"
Chris Harper says:


Mate Communicate and Barefoot Telecom are two local Internet providers that have ventured into the mobile marketplace. So now they offer ADSL and NBN connections with unlimited data, home phone services, and mobile plans. They're evenly matched across the board. So which one deserves your hard-earned cash? Read on to find out how these two mobile plans compare!
The telco universe is a competitive place. Providers can offer everything they think their customers might want in an attempt to capture and retain a broad market share. Or they can aim for the niche market, delivering a specific set of products and services aimed at particular market segments.
Both Mate communicate and Barefoot Telecom seem to have chosen the niche route. Their speciality? Being known for straight-up broadband deals with no lock-in contracts.
Mate was founded in 2015 and seems to want to communicate with market segments who are comfortable shopping around. Mate Communicate offers an array of mid-range consumer ADSL and NBN plans with no penalties for leaving or switching, plus the option to get unlimited local and national calls.
On the other hand, Barefoot launched earlier, in 2009, starting out by offering personalised landline and Internet connection plans. They appear more focused on customers who just want hassle-free plans, and offer month-to-month contracts for ADSL, NBN, and home phone bundles. Their site reflects this, with clear options to differentiate between the services they provide.
Both Mate and Barefoot made a big splash in the home broadband market when they launched. So how does this translate to their mobile offerings?
We have all heard horror stories about getting in touch with a telco. Hours spent on the phone calling an overseas call centre trying hard to be understood over a crackling connection. The frustration involved can be one of the key points of difference for any telco. And the customer service experience can really make the difference between winning a loyal fan or turning a paying customer into an avenging spirit.
Both Mate and Barefoot have learned this lesson well and have truly exceptional customer service options. Their first big move was to make their call centre numbers clearly available on their sites, so they're easy to find. The second — and it's a big one — was to keep their call centres local. That's right. Both telcos proudly boast that their service centres are "Aussie-based" with "no offshore support". So you know that, should you need their help, your call will end up being answered by someone here in Australia. The flipside of this is that the operating hours for these centres is just 8:30 AM to 7 PM, Monday to Saturday. These are generous hours for sure, but the difference is that you can't call whenever you want.
But you can still get in touch and leave a message anytime. One way is to use the "Leave us a message" option that's present on every page on both their sites. This lets you leave a quick question or query for the service centre staff to read and reply to. You can also ask questions via both Facebook and Twitter. From our research, it seems that Mate is the more active of the two, posting new statuses daily, as well as responding to customer enquiries on both channels.
You can also get in touch via email, with addresses displayed clearly on their Contact pages. Or, if you're more traditionally minded, you can send snail mail to their PO Boxes. Which are interesting when you look at them side by side — but more on that later.
Both Mate and Barefoot offer SIM-only mobile plans for a decent rate. For just $29/month, you can get unlimited national calls, SMS, and MMS to both landline numbers and Australian mobiles. These plans are month-to-month so you can try one out for a bit and if you don't like it, you can drop it without penalty.
You also get a generous 10GB of data per month. If you do go over, no big deal — you can get bolt-on data in 1GB increments for just $10. The original 10GB is more than enough to scroll the day away, but like most consumer plans this stops short of offering a true mobile data package.
Speaking of remote, the plans are both fixed to the Telstra network. As the country's largest telecom provider, this means your more likely to have reception where and when you need it.
There's just one caveat. These plans are not available as standalone options. They are only available to broadband customers, and neither Mate or Barefoot will ship you a SIM card without an active account on file. Both Mate and Barefoot make it clear in their critical information summary (CIS) sheets that if there is no internet service "active on your account at the time of billing" then they will charge you a minimum monthly rate of $59.
It should also be noted that both Mate and Barefoot charge $10 for the SIM delivery.
As mentioned before, both Mate and Barefoot offer unlimited calls, texting, and even picture messaging as standard. For $29/month on the Telstra network, that's almost unheard of.
If you're thinking of switching to either Mate or Barefoot's mobile plan and want to keep your number, you can do so via the online SIM activation processes both companies make available through their websites.
The 10GB of data each month is also a nice perk, letting you watch a title or two before you run low.
On top of that, both Mate and Barefoot offer 120 minutes of international calls every month. These are for both landlines and mobiles in selected countries, with only Canada and the USA restricted to landline-only calls.
Again, both Mate and Barefoot are neck-and-neck. Not only do they both offer unlimited data —– their prices are evenly matched across all the services they provide.
It's clear to see that these two offerings are evenly matched, with both Mate and Barefoot offering the exact same mobile plans at the same rates. They both keep local call centres, which keep the same operational hours.
Have you guessed why? A quick look at the PO Box addresses mentioned earlier might help.
Both Mate and Barefoot share a PO Box. Because they're owned by the same company.
So should it matter if you go with Mate or Barefoot?
In our view, there's no obvious disparity between the two offerings. According to our review, the only clear points of difference are that Mate appears more active on social media while Barefoot was founded earlier.
When it comes to these two mobile offerings, they are almost identical. Which means the question is less about picking a company, and more about deciding if these deals are worth your time.
On the face of it, these plans are both great deals. But the fact that you need to be a broadband customer to access them makes these mobile plans less of an impulse purchase and more of an optional extra for new or existing customers who plan to stay with these companies over the long term.

Doctor Strange's Ancient One Is Going To Change In Another Big Way From The Comics
By Conner Schwerdtfeger
Although Marvel Studios' upcoming Doctor Strange film looks like an amazing adventure, that hasn't prevented it from garnering its fair share of controversy. The casting and portrayal of The Ancient One by white actress Tilda Swinton has not gone over well with a large portion of audiences, with many leveling accusations of whitewashing against the film. However, Marvel hasn't taken these accusations lying down. The studio has just released a statement explaining that Tilda Swinton can easily portray The Ancient One because this version of the character is Celtic, and not Tibetan.
According to a new report from Mashable, Marvel Studios has just issued a statement clarifying the origins of this new version of The Ancient One. In stark contrast to the character's traditionally Asian heritage, Marvel Studios has actually opted to make Tilda Swinton's iteration of the Marvel character Celtic, rather than Tibetan. The Marvel Cinematic Universe will treat The Ancient One as a title passed down from individual to individual, rather than any one singular person.
Considering the tight spot Marvel Studios finds itself in with this situation, altering the actual origins of The Ancient One seems like a fairly smart call. In many ways it feels similar to what Warner Bros. did to Ra's al Ghul in Batman Begins by making the character a title, which then allows the movie to easily explain why a well-known white performer can logically take on the role.
Despite the accusations of racism, Marvel has stood by its decision to cast Tilda Swinton as the smartest possible decision. In fact, the film's co-writer C. Robert Cargill recently came out and made firm statements that the character's origins in the source material are rooted in racial caricatures, and casting a Chinese actor for Tibetan character would not have represented a better option for the studio as a whole. When it comes to international box office performance, everyone knows you don't piss off China.
Check out Tilda Swinton's portrayal of The Ancient One in first official Doctor Strange trailer below to get a better look at the Celtic take on the classic character:
At the end of the day it seems like any decision would have offended someone in this particular scenario. Marvel Studios did the best it could with what it had, and it ultimately seems like the Doctor Strange film has found a happy medium between old and new elements of the existing Marvel mythos.
We will keep you up to date with the latest and greatest Doctor Strange news as it becomes available to us. The long-awaited Phase 3 Marvel film will finally make its way to theaters on November 4.

Sometimes our stress comes from within ourselves. These Inner Stressors can have physical sources or psychological sources.
Some of the physical sources of our Inner Stressors can be due to normal body functions. Adolescents feel stress when they enter puberty because their bodies are changing and they have more hormones pumping through their systems. They feel fatigue and need more sleep. It is almost as if their bodies were molting as they change from child to adult. In today's society the expectations of adolescents reflect the physical conflict within their bodies. They are treated as adults one minute and as children the next. This is the same kind of physical response their bodies are dealing with. It all produces stress.
Likewise, as we age, we experience additional stress. The body doesn't respond as lithely as it once did. We begin to find more things going awry and needing repair, even those of us who have kept in good physical shape. Aging slows us down and reveals the wear and tear on our bodies. This can be frustrating when we can't move as quickly or do the things we used to do.
Similarly, when we experience illness, which usually occurs more often as we age, we deal not only with physical stresses to the body but with the effects of medications used to correct or forestall damage. If we are dealing with a degenerative disease or a life long disorder such as diabetes or high blood pressure, we have the stress of dealing with the medical routines that our doctors recommend for us: medication, diet, and exercise. We worry about managing all of those routines and are concerned often about what will happen if something goes wrong. This added emotional stress to our already physically stressed bodies.
If we are dealing with substance abuse that carries its own set of stressors. There are physical ones that come with using and others that come with getting treatment. Also, there are Outside Stressors involved as we see what our behaviour has done to our loved ones, as well as stress dealing with doctors, lawyers, agencies and law enforcement. In addition, there are other psychological worries as well.
One other physical source of Inner Stress is being different. If we have a physical deformity or handicap, we will feel the inadequacies of our bodies when compared to others. There might be some things we just can't do because of our physical condition. In addition, if we feel that some body part is too big or too small, that can be a source of stress, too, whether the body part really is too big or too small.
Inner Stressors often are part of our psychological perception. We may feel inadequate for a number of reasons. These can range from some physical attribute or lack of one, to what someone has told us about ourselves. We can internalise other people's remarks, making them part of how we view ourselves. If someone tells us we aren't smart and will never amount to anything, we may feel that we are doomed to failure so why even try. Our perception of ourselves as being different often is a negative. We don't want to be different to the point that we are ridiculed by others.
We also can internalise other people's goals and expectations for us. Whether they think we are inadequate or superior to others, we often try to shape our own concepts of ourselves in that regard. Both can produce stress, especially when we can't meet someone else's expectations because they aren't our own and they perhaps were set too high. We can overwork ourselves and over schedule ourselves to meet these expectations.
In addition, the stress of any of the Outer Stressors that we experience in our lives can be muted or amplified depending on how we perceive these stressors. If someone at the office is intimidating, we can either choose to ignore that person, deal with the intimidation head on, or cower under the bully's influence, feeling more negative about ourselves in the process.
Inner Stressors can amplify other stressors in our lives. They also need to have their own particular coping strategies.

Loitering in Jozi is a South African television sitcom created by Collin Oliphant, Antony Coleman, Gilli Apter, Maynard Kraak and Marc Lottering, produced by Stark Films and starring comedian Marc Lottering as a fictional version of himself, who relocates from Cape Town to Johannesburg to try and make it as a standup comedian, only to be forced to move into an eccentric building after things go horribly wrong.
The series premiered on SABC3 on Thursday 14 November 2013, at 20h00. New episodes broadcast weekly. There are 13 half-hour episodes in the series.
Marc Lottering plays the lead in this comedy drama series set in the world of Sandton's elite. He relocates to Johannesburg from Cape Town to pursue his career in the entertainment industry, only to find himself the victim of mistaken identity.
This leaves him penniless and homeless. Fortunately, a university roommate (the obsessive compulsive fully grown trust fund baby Alfie) has a spare room, and so the two unlikeliest of friends wind up sharing an apartment.
This Donatello Towers is no ordinary building - the filthy rich live side by side with those who serve them.
Marc is the fish-out-of-water in this world of opulence – all he wants is to achieve his dream of becoming a rock star comedian, but at the rate he is going this may take quite a while...
Marc is from Cape Town, brand new in Jozi and thinks he will make it big as a stand-up comedian in no time at all. He soon realises that things won't be that easy.
To begin with, he has nowhere to stay and no money at all - his first gig fell through. He cannot go back to Cape Town. The shame of not having seen his name in lights would be too much to bear.
He urgently needs a roof over his head and his former varsity pal Alfie, who lives in a fancy Sandton apartment, is his only resort. Marc just has to bear Alfie's obsessive compulsive behaviour, as he gets to know the weird characters living in the fancy apartment building.
But he hasn't given up on his dream to become a force to be reckoned with in the world of entertainment...
In trust fund baby Alfie's world things have to be clean and neat. Very clean. In fact, he is obsessed with cleanliness and tidiness. His obsessive compulsive behaviour drives Alfie's day-to-day routine as he spends virtually all his time time in his up-market Sandton apartment.
Since he has no job and no real purpose, he focuses all his energy on keeping things spotless and organised.
His world is turned completely upside down when his messy, carefree roommate from university, Marc, pitches uninvited and moves in with him.
Produced by Stark Films, the story writers were Collin Oliphant, Gilli Apter, Antony Coleman and Marc Lottering. The series was directed by Maynard Kraak, who was also a producer along with Human Stark.
Episode 1: The Squat
Marc arrives in Jo'burg to star in the yearly pantomime - his first real acting job. His obsessive compulsive friend Alfie lets him move in - temporarily. The role in the pantomime is a disaster and before long Marc is penniless and without a roof over his head...
Episode 2: The Maid
In Marc's opinion, Alfie's helper is taking advantage of her kind employer and not doing much at all when she is at the apartment to clean the place. Marc makes it his personal mission to teach her how to do her job. This does not go down well at all.
Episode 3: Party like a Rockstar
Marc and Alfie go all out in an attempt to party it up with a group of youngsters in the building. To Marc's dismay they think he's ancient and he goes all out to prove them wrong. Alfie's also fired up and tries to show them that he can organise a better jol than any of them.

Episode 5: The Dinner Party
Marc finds Jo'burg people very unfriendly, so Alfie organises a formal dinner to introduce him to the people in their building. Only three arrive - an old woman who has her eye on Alfie, a body-builder and a racist old guy. The tensions mount, with hilarious consequences.
Episode 6: Veggies for life
Alfie and Marc decide to change their lifestyles when their friend Kabelo mistakes heartburn for a heart attack. Only being allowed to eat veggies and having to do hours of Yoga on end is not Marc's idea of fun, so he has a plan or two up his sleeve...
Episode 7: The Entrepreneur
Marc brings home a lost dog and Alfie needs a massage to get over the stress of having an animal in his pristine apartment. The masseur has barely arrived, or Marc goes into business with her. She and and Kabelo help Marc sell body cream to a group of Asians.

An air bubble has a volume of 1.50 cm3 when it is released by a submarine 1.00 x 102 m below the surface of a lake. What is the volume of the bubble when it reaches the surface? Assume the temperature and the number of air molecules in the bubble remain constant during its ascent.
Asked Dec 24, 2019
Given,
Volume of air bubble,V, =1.50 cm² =1.50×10-6 m³ Height,h=100 m Pressure acting on top surface,P, = P, =1.01x10° Pa %3D
By using Boyle's equation between submarine and water surface and denoting submarine level as 1 and surface level as 2 then calculation can be done as follows,
RV, = P,V, V, =v, P, At submarine level, P = P, + pgh where, Gauge Pressure = pgh At surface level, P = P, (P, +pgh). V, = P. pgh V, =| 1+ P
Since submarine is placed at 100 m below the above surface due to its situation the...

2017 public's prize winner Majika: "Things are moving in the right direction."
The Majika project won the Orange Social Venture Prize Africa & Middle-East 2017 public's prize. The two co-founders, Nicolas Livache and Moustapha Zafilahy (a North Madagascar native) tell us about their story and their social entrepreneurship project, which aims to improve access to energy in the rural communities of Madagascar.
Entrepreneur Club – Why did launch Majika?
Moustapha and Nicolas – In August 2016, we launched the Majika social business to bring a new answer to the issues of development and energy access in the countryside. We relied on more than two years of observation and analysis of the energy industry. We have developed a strong and grounded approach, which fits the rural zones of the island. We are convinced of the leverage effect of energy in these areas and of the relevancy of the economic model.
What innovations do you bring to energy access?
– information and communication technologies; because we monitor our setup in real time. A website displays the data in real time and we have set up an alarm system using text messages. Bills are sent by SMS and the users can pay with mobile money. We are also developing a solution to study the demand in energy and thus further exploit our experience and data.
How is your project going along?
In October 2017, we exploit our pilot project, 32 kWc in a village west of Diego Suarez. It provides energy to about 100 people. We are bringing the finishing touch to our second project, 100 kWc of solar energy for 5,000 people. The studies are done, we just need to complete the financing plan.
We also plan to launch by the end of the year an all-in-one solution for rural entrepreneurs without access to our mini-grids. These are "productive solar kits" purpose-designed for supporting rural entrepreneurship. Innovative smart meters will allow us to provide distant monitoring of the installations and to put in place a payment system for entrepreneurs to acquire the kits within 12 to 24 months.
What is your take on the evolution of the renewable energy industry?
Things are moving in the right direction. Both users and politicans start to integrate renewable energy in their thought processes. A huge awareness-raising effort is needed to help the users acquire less energy-hungry devices (LED lights, energy-saving fridges, etc.) and thus further improve energy efficiency.
The biggest issue is the initial investment. We work with banks and microfinance to come up with solutions, but the process takes time.
What are the assets of Madagascar in that sector?
Madagascar enjoys an important solar potential suitably long round the year. Remote habitats also helps decentralized solutions. The high cost of oil makes solar solutions competitive.
What are the key elements a new entrepreneur in renewable energy should take into account?
The management of energy and investment (again!). You should be aware that it's a new world for the consumers. You don't consume solar energy the way you consume from the national grid. For investment, you need to integrate this issue in the strategy in order to avoid providing material of poor quality.
Your project attracted the most votes from Internet users in the international voting phase. How did you manage to activate these supporters?
What happened was great! We don't know for sure how we got first, but we are really dedicated to our project and, despite the lack of funds, we keep trying to advance things. People may respond positively to that. Also, we have put in place systems, proven a capacity for action and validated working hypotheses. Our adventure gets more mature and provides answers to actual issues on the ground. We feel supported and strong. All the messages we have received during this voting campaign make us want to move mountains.
What's your message to Entrepreneur Club readers?
Take your shot! We started with many ideas and dreams and few means to support them. The road ahead is still long indeed but this adventure is meaningful. You have to launch, start small and think on the spot. We keep having conversations with young people full of ideas but who won't give it a try. You have to step up!
We are looking for technical partners to help us structure or to develop tools. We are also looking for help to finance our rural mini-grids and our production toolkits.
