The Rest of the World Wants a Piece of the SXSW Action
Cities, countries, and regions capitalized on Austin's premier international event to seek tourism and economic development dollars.

Westeros invaded Austin earlier this month. As part of the occupying force, a priestess demanded that all before her bend the knee and pledge fealty. Dothraki, Wildlings, and the stoic Unsullied Army threatened to erupt into a full-on melee while representatives of the Seven Kingdoms were literally out for blood.
Thankfully HBO didn't bring any actual dragons it might have on its payroll. The interactive experience, one of countless so-called activations that corporations and brands mount each year during South by Southwest, was designed to promote the upcoming final season of fantasy television series Game of Thrones. The network also partnered with the American Red Cross to collect blood donations, promoting the event as an opportunity to "Bleed for the Throne."
Yet George R. R. Martin's fictitious world wasn't the only place to take over a corner of Austin as the more than 75,000 visitors attracted by SXSW converged for ten days of screenings and panels and concerts and parties. Nearly twenty very real cities, countries, and regions unleashed marketing armies of their own to capitalize on all those eyeballs.
Japan set up an embassy on Congress Avenue. The city of Fort Worth dispatched a contingent to the Rainey Street entertainment district. Philadelphia temporarily claimed a piece of Sixth Street. Present too were Michigan, D.C., Australia, Scandinavia (which even flew in the Danish princess), Spain, Brazil, and both Germany and the German city of Hamburg. The list goes on. They came seeking to spur both tourism and economic development.
Fort Worth has had a sizable SXSW presence (notably, Dallas doesn't bother) for the past several years. "Fort Worth is a bit of a blank slate for folks," said Robert L. Jameson, president and CEO of Visit Fort Worth. "This is an opportunity with people from all around the world, all across the country, to be able to give them a sense of what opportunities exist, what the spirit and energy is for the city of Fort Worth."
In 2018 Fort Worth and the Fort Worth Chamber of Commerce went all out by booking a sprawling venue (Fair Market, where this year's Game of Thrones experience took place) for two days to show off a replica of a new helicopter and vertiport from Fort Worth–based Bell Helicopter.

This year the city scaled down a bit, confining its two-day efforts to a smaller bungalow on Rainey Street. Fort Worth musicians performed. Tacos from celebrity chef Tim Love were served. Bell offered flight simulations, and T-shirts were screen-printed with advertisements of the city's aerospace programs in stylish designs. Visitors also enjoyed free chips and salsa from Fort Worth brand Mrs. Renfro's and whiskey tastings from Firestone & Robertson Distilling Co. The mayor of Fort Worth, Betsy Price, even led a bike ride along the nearby Lady Bird Lake hike and bike trail.
"We think we have an audience where a message of innovation and inclusion and creativity and technology and inspiration hopefully will resonate, and hopefully we will have filled in a picture of Fort Worth a little bit more clearly for them," Jameson said.
Meanwhile, Japan erected a giant red-and-white upside-down Mount Fuji structure on the patio of the 800 Congress event venue. The country's Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry, along with artist Yoichi Ochiai, built out an experience they dubbed the "New Japan Islands," meant to highlight the country's history, spiritualism (tea ceremonies, monks), and technology (mechanical game pachinko).

Guests had to remove their shoes to enter and then walked along elevated platforms through the space. The centerpiece of the staging mimicked a traditional Japanese living room. Among the programming were an opening ceremonial prayer, zen sessions with monks, a comedy show, and a look at Japanese candy. Free ramen, wagyu beef (which comes from Japanese cattle), and sake were offered. The setup was so elaborate that it won SXSW's official Creative Experience Arrow award for best immersive experience.
The Amplify Philly House on Sixth Street was comparatively ragtag in highlighting the city's technology, business, and music scenes. David Silver, president and cofounder of a coworking space for creatives called REC Philly, was the lead organizer of Philadelphia's SXSW presence. He decided the city should launch a centralized effort after he attended his first SXSW six years ago and found himself running from venue to venue to see Philly musicians.
Hence, Amplify Philly, which started as a music showcase and has grown this year into a house highlighting tech startups as well. The three-day-long effort was supported by 42 sponsors, as opposed to the city's tourism board or economic departments (as are most of the other city and state promotions). It's "this whole community-bootstrapped effort," Silver said, "which is very Philly-like."
The house was simple: programming, music, mural art, 3D printing, virtual reality displays, a lounge. It's about "making sure that you understand that Philadelphia has a really vibrant arts and tech community that's rising," Silver said. The city's own DJ Jazzy Jeff headlined one of the house parties. One panel discussion covered the benefits of launching startup companies in the city, and another covered it as a destination for film production.
Worth noting, however, is that one of the Philadelphia's best-known figures, Flyers mascot Gritty, didn't make an appearance at the house, even though he was in town. He popped by Philly-based Comcast's SXSW's activation instead. Supposedly, his schedule was tight.

"Gritty's catching some flak from our community for not making a stop," Silver said. "It was a bummer, but at the end of the day, the fact that he was just there and still representing Philadelphia was cool."
Hockey mascots mixing with tech visionaries, creatives pitching their next projects, entrepreneurs hoping to connect with industry leaders, and those just looking to be entertained—it's just that remarkable assemblage of people from varied backgrounds that draws the world to SXSW.

This is what you'll find at Augustana
Hotels and more
Mission, purpose and goals
When Celebration of Learning presenter Autumn Peele '21 first saw the Cryolophosaurus in the lobby of the Swenson Hall of Geosciences, she knew she wanted to come to Augustana.
Celebration of Learning showcases the work behind the future of students
Celebration of Learning schedule and recap
For Autumn Peele, dinosaurs. For Owen Greenfield, justice system inequities. For Molly Bastida, noise-induced hearing loss and the Catholic church's lack of guidance for interreligious dialogue.
On May 6, the Augustana community gathered virtually for the 2021 Celebration of Learning, the aptly named event to honor the research and creative achievements of students and faculty. From art and anthropology to philosophy and physics, 70 students delivered panel presentations and 24 delivered poster presentations.
"I was mildly concerned that we wouldn't get any submissions this year," said Dr. Mariano Magalhães, coordinator of student research and creative scholarship. "But I was wrong! Despite the uncertainty of what this virtual Celebration of Learning would look like and the very real 'zoom' fatigue that we are all experiencing, we had a phenomenal number of submissions."
"It tells me that students and faculty are still deeply committed to this part of who we are as a campus community."
Even though they are living in a pandemic, students continue to push themselves and devote their time and effort to do amazing things in their research labs, in their communities and in their creative activities.
"This commitment doesn't stop, hasn't stopped, and it was imperative that we find a way to showcase these achievements," he said, "especially for our seniors whose good work have helped them find their next adventure."
Autumn Peele
Autumn Peele '21
"Since before coming to Augustana, all I've ever wanted to do was work with dinosaurs," said Autumn Peele, from Summerville, S.C. "Every day I walk into the paleontology prep lab is a dream come true."
At Celebration of Learning, Peele presented her Senior Inquiry research on her use of histological thin sectioning — a lab technique used to evaluate the morphology and structure of cells, tissues, and organs of fossils under the microscope — to determine ontogeny, or skeletal maturity, in dinosaur rib fossils. Her research looked at the lack of histological data from some of the most well-studied dinosaurs such as Triceratops and Edmontosaurus.
Peele's goal was to determine if histology conducted on rib fossils is a suitable method for determining ontogenetic age in Ornithoscelidan fossils. Based on her findings, she concluded it is promising.
For Peele, the months of work behind her Senior Inquiry not only led to new knowledge but a paid internship with the Wyoming Dinosaur Center this summer.
"I'll be giving tours of the fossil site to families and helping to excavate dinosaur bones and prep them in the lab," she said. "I am beyond excited and am counting down the days until it starts!"
Owen Greenfield
Owen Greenfield '21
Political science and psychology
Owen Greenfield presented his research on the constitutional right for legal representation for all American citizens at Celebration of Learning. He found that the American poor frequently are at a disadvantage in regards to access and quality of legal representation.
"I wasn't even aware of this problem until I took classes in political science," said Greenfield, from Germantown Hills, Ill. "The first class I took introduced me to this issue and then with each class, the veil was pulled back more and more.
"I found my passion in those classes, and I couldn't escape it."
This fall, Greenfield will be studying at the University of Minnesota Law School.
"I'm not sure what kind of law I want to pursue, but I want to be a voice for the voiceless," Greenfield said. "The system doesn't set up people to want to do this work; it doesn't come with a big paycheck. I want to make the world a better place...the voiceless have legal needs just like anyone else, and they need help, and they're not getting it."
Molly Bastida

Communication sciences and disorders (CSD), and religion
At Augustana, students have the opportunity to choose seemingly unrelated majors that reflect their interests and career plans. Molly Bastida of St. Louis, Mo., discovered "two distinct majors that are now embedded into my values personally and as a professional."
Fittingly, Bastida presented twice at this year's Celebration of Learning.
In her religion-focused presentation, "'Love your neighbor as yourself"… easier said than done according to the Catholic Church," Bastida found that although official church documents from Vatican II clearly state that the magisterium encourages the Catholic laity to engage in a dialogue of life and of deeds, the Catholic church does not provide any guidance to the laity on how to approach these forms of dialogue.
Through her research, Bastida determined that the Catholic laity could gain guidance on how to actively participate in interreligious dialogue by examining the structure of a national non-profit interfaith dialogue organization, Interfaith Youth Core.
In Bastida's CSD-focused presentation, "Listen Up: Your Ears are Irreplaceable …," she explored research on college students' knowledge of safe listening practices and the hearing mechanism and theories behind effective hearing conservation programs for college students.
This fall, she will attend Illinois State University to pursue a doctorate in audiology.
"Molly is a great exemplar of a liberal arts education, incorporating her religion and CSD majors to develop a more holistic understanding of others and our world," said Dr. Ann Perreau, CSD associate professor.
Because this year's Celebration of Learning was all virtual, parents, friends and others not on campus could watch the pre-recorded and live presentations.
"The attendance was nothing short of spectacular," Dr. Magalhães said. "I heard that there were many people from outside Augie attending the sessions. I'd like to explore if there is some way of keeping this aspect in the future — even when we go back to in-person."

Q: calling ng-click function from an external script i am working on a chrome extension that can automate a form filling. So the form which i am filling has a next button attached to it that has a ng-click attribute "forward()" like this-
<button type="button" ng-class="{disabled: !showNext()}" ng-click="forward()" class="btn btn-success btn-lg default pull-right" style="font-size: 18px;">Next <i class="fa fa-chevron-right white-color"></i></button>

I tried calling angular.element($('button.pull-right')).scope().forward() or $('button.pull-right').scope().forward() and the function executes but the view doesnt get updated. I know i can do $('button.pull-right'.click() and that works but actually i am in need of bypassing the click event, for that i need to bind the click to my external script funciton(which i will inject into page through my extension) and then from my script call the forward() function.
I had a lot of time googling this but none worked out for me. Please Help!

A: When you're reaching into Angular from outside of its context it will not notice that you've done so unless you tell it about it. You do that by using $apply.
Try this:
angular.element($('button.pull-right')).scope().$apply(function() {
    angular.element($('button.pull-right')).scope().forward();
});

Federal court awards $1.2 million in fees in HRDC Florida DOC censorship case
Prison Legal News, Oct. 25, 2019.
The Cost of Prison Censorship: Florida Taxpayers to Pay $1.2 Million
Tallahassee, FL – On October 22, a federal district court in Tallahassee awarded almost $1.2 million in attorneys' fees and costs in a censorship lawsuit against the Florida Department of Corrections (DOC).
The lawsuit was filed in 2011 by Prison Legal News (PLN), a 72-page monthly publication that covers criminal justice-related issues; PLN is a project of the non-profit, Lake Worth Beach-based Human Rights Defense Center. The suit followed years of censorship by the DOC, which rejected all issues of PLN, purportedly due to an incidental number of advertisements for prison phone services, penpals and companies that purchase postage stamps from prisoners.
PLN, which has published for almost 30 years, is not censored on the basis of its advertisements in the 49 other state prison systems, nor in the federal Bureau of Prisons, including maximum-security facilities. PLN raised a First Amendment censorship claim and a due process claim for the DOC's failure to provide adequate notice when publications were rejected by prison staff.
Following a bench trial, in October 2015 the district court held the DOC's censorship practices did not violate the First Amendment, but that prison officials had violated PLN's due process rights. The court issued a permanent injunction on the latter claim.
PLN appealed to the Eleventh Circuit, which affirmed the district court's ruling on May 17, 2018. A certiorari petition to the U.S. Supreme Court followed, with support from over 100 amici partners, including briefs filed by former prison officials, law professors, media agencies, prison book programs, advertisers, faith-based groups, conservative organizations such as the Cato Institute and Americans for Prosperity, and civil rights advocates. PLN was represented before the Eleventh Circuit and the Supreme Court by former U.S. Solicitor General Paul D. Clement with Kirkland & Ellis LLP, and by former White House associate counsel Michael H. McGinley with Dechert LLP. The Supreme Court declined to review the case, resulting in remand to the district court and the entry of the attorneys' fee order this week.
In his 36-page order, U.S. District Court Judge Mark E. Walker awarded $1,148,210.89 in fees plus $33,448.57 in litigation expenses to PLN as the prevailing party in the case, as it had succeeded on its due process claim. The court had previously awarded $6,204.42 in costs, for a total award of $1,187,863.88. PLN's attorneys expended over 4,064 hours in litigating the suit, both before the district court and on appeal, and the district court rejected most of the defendants' objections to the fee award. PLN's fee expert was William K. Hill with the Gunster law firm.
"This Court finds Plaintiff's success on its Due Process claim imparted a substantial public benefit by having this Court enter an injunction requiring Defendant to comply with its notice provisions," Judge Walker wrote. "Said otherwise, Plaintiff's victory on its Due Process claim prevented Defendant from continuing to censor without regard to its Due Process obligations under the Fourteenth Amendment."
"Free speech isn't free," said Human Rights Defense Center executive director Paul Wright. "In this case, censorship by the Florida Department of Corrections cost state taxpayers almost $1.2 million – because of the vicious efforts by the prison system to censor HRDC's publications. The Attorney General's office spent over 3,000 hours in attorney time fighting this case. The real tragedy is that Florida prisoners remain unable to read PLN and other HRDC publications that will educate and inform them of their rights."
PLN was represented in the litigation at the trial level by Dante Trevisani and the late Randy Berg with the Florida Justice Institute; by the ACLU Foundation of Florida; and by former HRDC general counsel Sabarish Neelakanta, current general counsel Dan Marshall and staff attorney Masimba Mutamba. The case is Prison Legal News v. Inch,U.S.D.C. (N.D. FL), Case No. 4:12-cv-00239-MW/CAS.
The attorneys' fee order is posted here.
The Human Rights Defense Center, founded in 1990 and based in Lake Worth Beach, Florida, is a non-profit organization dedicated to protecting human rights in U.S. detention facilities. In addition to advocating on behalf of prisoners and publishing books and magazines related to the criminal justice system, HRDC engages in state and federal litigation on prisoners' rights issues, including wrongful death, public records, class actions and Section 1983 civil rights cases.

We spoke about cyber bullying, screen time, parenting styles and resources that track what our kids are doing while on the Internet or on smart devices. It was a conversation that needed to happen. It's very important information for us parents to know and understand, as every hour something new is being developed in the digital world!
It went amazingly and every question from Katy Lynch and the audience were right on. Having Keith Puckett, a father, helped bring balance and a different perceptive. A great time was had by all! Thanks, Katy Lynch, for facilitating such a powerful topic.

Reflections from a visit to Nagrota, Jammu
Swaniti Initiative | July 2, 2015 | The Swaniti Blog
It was a usual Saturday before we got a call from the MLA from Nagrota. We had no plans to work in Jammu and Kashmir in the near future, but here we were, the same Saturday evening, sitting with an MLA who wants us to support him in developing his constituency. Interestingly, the MLA wouldn't have known about Swaniti's work, but for a page in a magazine he read on a flight to Delhi. It was fortuitous and a calling from Mata Vaishno Devi. Two weeks later, we were in Nagrota – the gateway to Mata Vaishno Devi – to create and improve livelihood opportunities in the constituency and develop two villages into 'islands of excellence'.
We started our trip by interacting with Sarpanches and visiting different panchayats in order to get a better understanding of their problems and concerns. To our pleasant surprise, we found even the remotest villages having access to piped drinking water and electricity, and in general, people in villages being better off than those in states like Bihar, UP and MP – states that I have been more familiar with. This however, is not to say that development challenges do not exist in Nagrota. These challenges include poor road and telecom connectivity, poor education and health services. A major reason for these problems is the tough terrain in the region.
Though the challenges and interactions seemed very exciting, there was something on that visit that I found to be quite disheartening. While people were aware of the challenges they faced, we discovered in our interactions that not many were willing to talk about these issues. Everybody had the same question – "What scheme have you guys brought with you?". We tried to engage people by talking about a lot of new government schemes. Lets take Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana for example. Everybody had the same complaint – we have a bank account but when are we going to get money in that account? In the case of recently launched social security schemes like Pradhan Mantri Jeema Bima Yojana , Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana and Atal Pension Yojana, people asked questions like "What is the use of these schemes? When we will get the money – when we are 60 years old, or when we are dead?". This issue is unfortunately not limited to just Nagrota or Jammu. Similar questions have been thrown at us by people in different states. This is what makes the solution to the existing problems difficult.
The problem is two-fold. Firstly, people lack awareness about modern banking, insurance and pension products, and the government – at all levels – has perhaps not been successful in getting the messaging right. There has been little effort to explain to the rural people about why they need a bank account or an insurance policy. Information is the missing piece of the puzzle. Secondly, the people in rural India have been made to erase the word 'long-term' from their dictionaries. A long era of socialist schemes and doles have made people accustomed to looking for immediate gains in everything. This attitude can be changed only when people taste the fruits of alternative models of development, which will be a slow process. Civil society organizations have a big role to play in order to prepare people to benefit from government interventions more meaningfully.
But on a more optimistic note, things will hopefully change for the better. As for our trip, after an exhausting week of travel through the hilly but enjoyable terrain of Nagrota, the trip was near its end. However, the visit was after all an invitation by Her and could have ended only after Her 'Darshan'. On the final day, I got a chance to visit the Mata Vaishno Devi Temple and with the blessings of the Mighty Goddess, the trip ended.
We now look forward to playing an active, constructive and meaningful role in catalyzing development interventions in Nagrota, and to work for the welfare of the Hon'ble MLA's constituents.

Get the Facts:
Chamomile has been used medicinally for thousands of years, and it is widely used in Europe. It is a popular treatment for numerous ailments.
Chamomile, one of the most ancient and versatile medicinal herbs known to humankind. It primarily supports the nervous system and the integumentary system. Our Roman Chamomile, Anthemis nobilis, is harvested from the stems, leaves and blossoms in England as we found that particular source to possess the best balance of its helpful constituents while still delivering that cellular nourishment in a milder manner than German Chamomile, thus making it ideal for children or those with more fragile health conditions. It's use for either of these body systems will bring with it a calming influence.
Roman Chamomile essential oil also supports the nervous system and the integumentary system (the skin). In fact, your skin will LOVE some TLC with Roman Chamomile essential oil. While it performs much like German Chamomile on the body, it's much milder than German Chamomile, thus making it ideal for those with sensitive skin. Children and those with more fragile health conditions also may prefer the milder Roman Chamomile version. It's use for either of these body systems will bring with it a calming influence.
The integumentary system of the body (the skin) LOVES Chamomile essential oil, particularly when there's been a scrape or scratch or pesky bug bite or other mild irritation. But it also has a pleasant toning effect on the integumentary system and supports beautiful tone skin. That makes it a great addition to your nightly maintenance skin care regimen.
The muscular system also enjoys the benefits of the Chamomile essential oil, especially when you've been overzealous and overextended.
Be ready to enjoy the soothing, relaxing benefits with our premium Roman Chamomile essential oil!
*For people who may have more toxins built up in their system Roman chamomile may be better to use since it is not as strong as German chamomile

Chamomile Interactions:
The interactions listed below are based on reports in scientific publications, laboratory experiments, or traditional use. You should always read product labels. If you have a medical condition, or are taking other drugs, herbs, or supplements, you should speak with a qualified healthcare provider before starting a new therapy.
Antianxiety: Due to its pharmacological properties, chamomile may cause drowsiness and exacerbate the effects of sedative medications (44;54). In human research, chamomile ingestion reduced mean anxiety scores in individuals with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) compared to placebo (48;50;79). An extract of chamomile is apigenin, which has been shown in mice to have central benzodiazepine receptor affinity and anxiolytic and sedative effects (55). A lyophilized infusion of chamomile administered intraperitonealy in mice displayed a depressive effect on the central nervous system (78). In a case series intending to examine the cardiac effects of chamomile, the authors observed that 10 out of 12 patients undergoing cardiac catheterization fell asleep shortly after drinking chamomile tea (44). However, there is limited evidence supporting the sedating effects of chamomile. In human research, significant between-group differences in sleep measures were lacking after chamomile treatment (80).
Antiarrhythmic: Apigenin, a constituent of chamomile, was found to increase the atrial rate in rats (65).
Antiasthmatics: Chamomile may cause bronchial constriction, inflammation of the upper respiratory tract, dyspnea, asthma, and shortness of breath (121).
Antibacterials: In vitro, chamomile had antimicrobial properties (1;67;70;126;127;128;129;130;131;132;133;134).
Anticoagulants and antiplatelets: Due to its coumarin content, chamomile may theoretically increase the risk of bleeding when ingested concomitantly with anticoagulant herbs or supplements (54;69). In one case report, concurrent use of ingested and topical chamomile products while using anticoagulants led to multiple internal hemorrhages (70).
Antidepressants: In human research, chamomile ingestion in individuals with Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) decreased depression subscores compared to placebo (56).
Antidiarrheals: Chamomile is a popular home remedy for gastrointestinal complaints. In human research, children treated with Matricaria recutita L. showed a reduction in the duration of diarrhea and stool frequency (85). In other research, the effects of chamomile alone remain unclear (51;135).
Antihistamines: In animal research, a single oral administration of German chamomile flower extract showed antipruritic effects (11). Furthermore, the antipruritic effects of H1 antagonists, oxatomide and fexofenadine, were remarkably enhanced by the combined administration of the ethyl acetate extract of German chamomile.
Anti-inflammatory: In vitro and in animal research, chamomile had anti-inflammatory properties (4;67;136;137;138;139;140). In human research, skin lesion healing time was significantly reduced in individuals treated with topical chamomile (83), while some trials report a lack of between-group differences in response rate (52).
Antilipemics: In animal models, chamomile had some cholesterol-lowering activities (90).
Antimicrobials: In vitro, chamomile had antimicrobial properties (1;51;67;126;127;128;129;130;131;132;133;134).
Antioxidants: In vitro, chamomile had moderate antioxidant activities (90).
Antispasmodics: In vitro and in animal research, alpha-bisabolol, apigenin, and farnesol in chamomile were considered spasmolytic (66;67;68).
Antiulcer and gastric acid-reducing agents: In vitro, chamomile inhibited the induction of gastric ulcers (62).
CNS depressants: A lyophilized infusion of chamomile administered intraperitonealy in mice displayed a depressive effect on the central nervous system (78).
Diuretics: In animal research, chamomile flowers had diuretic properties (141).
Gastrointestinal agents: Children treated with Matricaria recutita L. showed a reduction in the duration of diarrhea and stool frequency (85). When taken in large doses, chamomile has the potential to cause emesis (67). In human research, chamomile ingestion resulted in gastrointestinal discomfort (50;56;80).
Hormonal: Chamomile may have anti-estrogenic effects and interact with herbs and supplements, such as red clover or soy (27).
Hypoglycemics: In laboratory study, the flavonoid glucoside chamaemeloside found in Chamaemelum nobile has in vivo hypoglycemic activity comparable to free 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaric acid (HMG) (63).
Hypotensives: In animal research, apigenin, a constituent of chamomile, had hypotensive properties (64).
Phytoestrogens: Chamomile may have anti-estrogenic effects and interact with herbs or supplements, such as red clover or soy (27).
Sedatives: Due to its pharmacological properties, chamomile may cause drowsiness and exacerbate the effects of sedative herbs or supplements (44;54). In human research, chamomile ingestion reduced mean anxiety scores in individuals with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) compared to placebo (48;50;79). An extract of chamomile is apigenin, which has been shown in mice to have central benzodiazepine receptor affinity and anxiolytic and sedative effects (55). A lyophilized infusion of chamomile administered intraperitonealy in mice displayed a depressive effect on the central nervous system (78). In a case series intending to examine the cardiac effects of chamomile, the authors observed that 10 out of 12 patients undergoing cardiac catheterization fell asleep shortly after drinking chamomile tea (44). However, there is limited evidence supporting the sedating effects of chamomile. In human research, significant between-group differences in sleep measures were lacking after chamomile treatment (80).

Halloween season can be full of so many scary and not so kid friendly decorations and party activities. Skip the blood and gore part of Halloween and go the kid-friendly approach with these cute punny "Trick or Tweet" Halloween Favor Tags! Add these Halloween favor tags to the class party or local trunk or treat goodie bags!
As a mom of 2 little ones, I want to keep the kid-friendly fun in Halloween. And while my kids do get the occasional special treat, I don't feel the need to fill this holiday with all candy all the time either.
Since we signed up for snack duty at soccer the Saturday before Halloween, I wanted to put together some non-candy goodie bags for her fellow soccer player friends for after the game. Each Halloween goodie bag is filled with Halloween themed snacks (pretezels and goldfish) so the kids can still have a treat after the game, without parents getting upset about too many sweets before lunchtime!
These "Trick or Tweet" themed Halloween favor tags are now available in my Etsy shop for instant download! Simply order and print as many as you need for one price!
The bottom area of the tag includes a space where you can personalize it with a pen or marker before gifting it to a friend this Halloween!


@shedletsky I don't think it was ever desired for it to be easier to attack than to defend. To make that happen you would basically have to delete towers and ramparts from the game, which doesn't sound fun.
This idea wasn't to make attacking easier than defending. It was to make attacking a controller a reasonable possibility.
Not to mention that 95% of the time, there isn't even a benefit to attacking another player. You pretty much will always lose more than you gain from attacking a neutral entity (even if you kill them).

Seeking a Deeper Knowledge of God and Ourselves

Radio Interview April 8 2020 Vision Radio
Book Review from Peter Barnes and AP -National Journal of the Presbyterian Church
There is a growing need that exists in many Christian circles for a deeper, more mature understanding of what it means to be a Christian; one who truly seeks to follow Christ. Beyond the Fish Sticker is a series of musings that aim to encourage readers to think deeply about the big and often difficult questions that arise throughout our lives. It uses these questions to take the reader on a journey throughout which alternative worldviews are uncovered and contrasted with Christian truth. Readers are challenged to consider what it means to see life in light of Christ and how to live accordingly.

4 reviews for Beyond the Fish Sticker
Matt Viney, Pastor at Wavell Heights Presbyterian. – September 16, 2019
In a world of slogans and 'fake news', we need Christians who are willing to speak with clarity and honesty in a way that helps us move beyond superficiality. This is what Ben does. His writing is fresh and engaging, deep and genuine. Ben offers an insightful Christian perspective on many areas of life, including religion, politics, culture and history. Beyond the Fish Sticker is worth reading.
Neil Cullan McKinlay, Author at Nordskog – September 16, 2019
Like an expert underwater guide, Ben keeps his audience close to him as we dive into deep waters. We travel with him throughout, turning this way, then that, like a school of fish on some coral reef. His insights are rays of sunshine penetrating the surface-membrane, illuminating the deep and swirling currents of human thought beneath. He keeps our eyes trained on one fish, one fish only: ICHTHYS, Jesus Christ, Son of God, Saviour. As he says, 'It's time to stop chasing the wind and to start resting in Christ. Christ is … the narrow path to sanity.' O, to be found fully clothed and in your right mind after plumbing the depths with Ben in Beyond the Fish Sticker.
Julie-anne Laird, Australian Fellowship of Evangelical Students. – February 19, 2020
Beyond the Fish Sticker is a great reminder of what we believe and why. Ben is very widely read and it shows in the depth of understanding. He explains things clearly and simply. I really appreciated reading it. Superb! –
Editor PresLife Magazine – March 18, 2020
Review from PresLife Magazine
Ben Swift who has been a contributor to PresLife has woven together a series of musings into a philosophical book called Beyond the Fish Sticker. I have read his book twice and found him to be a very knowledgable individual. There were many written illustrations to help explain his point of view.
I appreciated how Ben mentioned various theologians and other famous people that the reader could relate to, to support his claims.
In the introduction, a summary of each chapter is given.
As I came to each chapter, I kept referring back to this, to remind me of what its purpose was.
The first three chapters were my favourites, particularly chapter one as it clearly explained what it means to be human. This paragraph stood out to me from chapter one under the heading Not so random: 'It is exclusively through our understanding of who we are in relation to who God is that we come to comprehend what it means to be human. We have been gifted with the capacity to reflect the very nature of our Creator'.
I have been encouraged from reading this book to dig deeper into God's Word to know Him better.

Atlantic Club Purchased as Possible Senior Housing Project
Posted on: January 9, 2015, 02:20h.
Last updated on: January 9, 2015, 02:27h.
Kevin Horridge Read More
New Jersey's Atlantic Club, which closed in early 2014, may have finally found a long-term buyer in a Pennsylvania real estate firm that could turn it into a seniors development. (Image: onlinecasinoselite.com)
The Atlantic Club, the first of four casinos to close in Atlantic City during 2014, may have finally found a long-term buyer for its shuttered property.
According to recently filed property records, a Pennsylvania real estate company affiliated with the Endeavor Property Group LLC has agreed to buy the venue for an undisclosed price. The agreement of sale was filed on December 29 at the Atlantic County Clerk's Office.
While the sale price may be unknown for now, it will be revealed when the sale is closed and a deed for the property is filed.
Buyer Specializes in Residential Projects
Endeavor is a company based in Devon, Pennsylvania, and best-known for specializing in senior housing and other residential projects. That could signal that the Atlantic Club might be turned into a residential development itself, though no public statements have been made yet about the company's plans for the former casino.
"From the beginning, I saw it as an opportunity to cater to retirees or second-home buyers who would love to be at the Jersey Shore," said Israel Posner, executive director of the Lloyd D. Levenson Institute of Gaming, Hospitality and Tourism at The Richard Stockton College of New Jersey. "I think senior housing is exactly what the doctor ordered."
Located at the southern end of Atlantic City's iconic Boardwalk, the Atlantic Club's property could be a prime location for residents who want easy access to other nearby amenities, such as those at the Tropicana.
The Tropicana and Caesars originally combined to acquire the Atlantic Club's assets for $23.4 million in a December 2013 bankruptcy sale; Caesars, which took control of the property and buildings, then sold the venue to TJM Properties in May 2014 for $13.5 million.
No Casino on Atlantic Club Site
While the rapid turnover for the property may seem strange, there was a purpose to Caesars' brief stewardship over the casino. That allowed the firm to place a deed restriction on the property, prohibiting any new owners from operating a casino there.
The closure of the Atlantic Club was the first and least surprising of the four casino shutdowns to take place in Atlantic City last year. The resort had long been the city's poorest-performing venue, and in 2013, the owners searched for a buyer willing to take over the struggling casino.
The first apparent buyer was the Rational Group, parent company of PokerStars and Full Tilt. In January 2013, Rational announced that it had reached an agreement to buy the casino, a plan that would have given PokerStars a valuable foothold in the American gaming market.
But problems quickly emerged, as the American Gaming Association (AGA) came out against allowing the Rational Group to purchase a casino.
As regulators delayed making a decision on the purchase, the Atlantic Club's owners eventually decided to pull out altogether in May 2013. The Rational Group sued in an attempt to either save the purchase or recoup the $11 million they had already given to the casino to help it stay afloat, but found no success, and abandoned their attempts to buy the casino in July.
Finally, on January 13, 2014, the Atlantic Club closed its casino doors for good.

The scarlet city: a novel of 16th-century Italy
Academy Chicago Publishers, 1990 - 367 pagina's
In this masterly novel, Hella Haasse, the author of last year's bestselling takes readers to a 16th-century Italy torn by the savage violence of war and by sinister intrigues for power, and Giovanni Borgia's agonizing search for his true origins.

Hella Haasse was born in Batavia, the capital of what was then Dutch East India, now independent Indonesia. It is thus understandable why her first novel, Oeroeg (1948), describes the relationship between a Dutch and an Indonesian youth. As the two young men grow up, they gradually become conscious of their ethnic and cultural differences and, in spite of their efforts, nature appears to have destined them to become estranged from each other. Haasse's greatest impact on the Dutch literary scene occurred when her historical novel Het woud der verwachting (In a Dark Wood Wandering) (1948) was published. It was translated into English in 1989. This novel became a classic in its own time. In it the author describes the ever-increasing loneliness of the fifteenth-century Romantic poet--prince Charles d'Orleans, pretender to the crown of France, who wrote most of his poems in British and French prisons. In addition to giving a moving report of the life of a person destined to end his life in utter isolation, Hella Haasse succeeds in presenting her main character in a way which allows the reader to identify with him. Charles's life is interwoven with the lives of all the other people he meets. Haasse's talent for description and narration and her skill with flashbacks allow her to manage the novel's many characters, constructing a microcosm in which each reader feels "at home' and meets people with whom he or she can identify.

Brest Life is both a brand and a territorial marketing approach that aims to vouch for the attractiveness of the Brest employment area. It brings together all the public and private players that adhere to its values and wish to be part of it.
boost appeal
A territorial marketing approach is only effective if it is adopted and carried by a community. This community represents the "founding fathers" of the Metropolitan Strategy for Economic Development (Stratégie Métropolitaine de Développement Economique) (SMDE), adopted in 2016: the Metropolitan Pole of the Pays de Brest (Pôle Métropolitain du Pays de Brest) and its seven intercommunalities, consular chambers (Chamber of Commerce and Industry Métropolitaine Bretagne Ouest, Chamber of Agriculture of Finistère, Chamber of Trades and Crafts), the Council of Development of the Pays de Brest, economic networks, national and international groups (THALES, Crédit Mutuel Arkéa ...), SMEs and VSEs, the academic structures of higher education, as public operators (SNCF, EDF, Pôle emploi ...).
All share the certainty that this territory has all the necessary assets to offer the best living conditions to its inhabitants and development to its companies.
Brest Life reveals the territory's vitality during events, rallies or targeted actions, such as:
1st Economic Forum in October 2017
the Nautic Paris Boat Show 2017

It also offers a toolbox for its ambassadors, including inspiring videos, documents that present the territory...
It is also active on social networks : join the Brest Life community!
The brand Brest Life fosters 3 fundamental values :
Here, passion for adventure is in our DNA!
From la Pérouse to Bougainville, the great maritime epics of the eighteenth century from Brest, have left a legacy of thirst for exploration, adventure and innovation. Since then, combined with an opening to the distinctive world of all ports, this heritage has grown.
The Pays de Brest now accounts for 24% of public research in Brittany. In addition to the CHRU, ranked 8th in the nation due to its research results. In Europe, Brest ranks 1st in the field of marine sciences and technologies. Paul-Emile-Victor Polar Institute, Ifremer and the Brittany-Atlantic sea pole have chosen Brest as their headquarters. To promote this maritime excellence internationally, all players are now gathered on the World Campus of the Brest Sea, recognized by the State in 2015.
To explore is also to innovate, to create and to undertake. The territory has developed great captains of national and international companies and industrial explorers who brought to life great adventures such as those of SDMO, the Leclerc Group, crêpes Whaou, hotels Oceania as well as B & B, Maison du Monde, Groupe Le Duff with Brioche Dorée ...
More recently, start-ups that innovate within the French Tech Brest + in the digital field via the many incubators offered by the territory perpetuate this state of mind.
In fact, Brest bubbles with creativity and a passion for culture and knowledge. With more than 25,000 readers and 1.3 million loans per year, Brest has the highest rate of readers in France. In Landerneau, the Edouard and Hélène Leclerc fund welcomes tens of thousands of visitors to its major exhibitions. As for the Quartz and its grand theater, it is the first national stage of France, outside of Paris, thanks to its large audiences. Between the many music festivals and the international maritime festivals, the big gatherings follow each other but are not alike, there is something for all tastes and all audiences.
The Capucins Workshop project also illustrates the city's ability to reinvent and recreate itself. Accessible, by the first urban cable car in France, the Capucins Workshops have become a unique place, where all generations, all cultures, believe in living together and sharing the moment.
Here, we are more dedicated than elsewhere!
Let's not be afraid to assert this, here, while confronting challenges, we are not afraid of anything, especially not to roll up our sleeves. Irène Frachon, a pulmonologist at the University Hospital of Brest and a whistle-blower in the Mediator affair, is one of those strong characters that continues to contribute to the history of the territory.
In Brest, we like facts and pragmatism, we do not judge on appearances, but on the investment and results at work. This commitment is cultivated in both professional and daily life. The associative life is more prominent than elsewhere and schools from the tip of Brittany, have among the best annual success rates in France.
A voluntary territory, it does not wait for solutions to come to it: it takes its destiny into its own hands and seeks its own resources to achieve its objectives. Collectively, it offers the ability to mobilize and carry out projects together. Individually, it's the driving force that drives excellence.
Finally, this taste for commitment is embodied every day by the men and women who carry out the main defense position from the command center of the Atlantic nuclear force or the assistance and sea rescue duties of the "Abeille Bourbon", the mythical tugboat at sea, always ready to go on a mission, based in Brest.
Here, we play collectively!
« Individually we go faster, but together, we go further. »
The people from the Breton tip, have always known how to mobilize "their collective game", while the territory faced major development challenges.
The cooperative movement that started at the beginning of the 20th century continues today in the agricultural world (Triskalia, Even, Sill, Savéol ...) and has gradually expanded to areas such as bank-insurance (Crédit Mutuel de Bretagne-Arkéa, Financo, Fortunéo ...), health as well as new digital cooperative solutions that are offered, such as coworking or crowdfunding platforms.
The SMDE (metropolitan strategy for economic development) perfectly illustrates this desire to act and work together to strengthen and build the economic future of the territory. This ability to cooperate is noticeable at all levels, from professional to daily life. Local economic networks are particularly abundant and dynamic. They are open and welcoming and, above all, they know how to work together. You have a project, need an address, a boost ... here you will never be alone. More than anywhere else, social cohesion and values of solidarity are priority concerns. Here, we like to meet and share. Once again, the large number of sports and socio-cultural associations reveal this. Many public community centers; such as Patronages laïques, maisons pour tous, maisons de quartier, centres sociaux, ... here, living together is our ultimate motto.
Open to the world, this territory remains faithful to its Breton roots and identity and the Brest Life brand is complementary to the brands Bretagne and Tout commence en Finistère.

Tessari, P. et al.
Kidney, splanchnic, and leg protein turnover in humans. Insight from leucine and phenylalanine kinetics.
The rate of kidney protein turnover in humans is not known. To this aim, we have measured kidney protein synthesis and degradation in postabsorptive humans using the arterio-venous catheterization technique combined with 14C-leucine, 15N-leucine, and 3H-phenylalanine tracer infusions. These measurements were compared with those obtained across the splanchnic bed, the legs (approximately muscle) and in the whole body. In the kidneys, protein balance was negative, as the rate of leucine release from protein degradation (16.8 +/- 5.1 mumol/min.1.73 m2) was greater (P < 0.02) than its uptake into protein synthesis (11.6 +/- 5.1 mumol/min. 1.73 m2). Splanchnic net protein balance was approximately 0 since leucine from protein degradation (32.1 +/- 9.9 mumol/min. 1.73 m2) and leucine into protein synthesis (30.8 +/- 11.5 mumol/min. 1.73 m2) were not different. In the legs, degradation exceeded synthesis (27.4 +/- 6.6 vs. 20.3 +/- 6.5 mumol/min. 1.73 m2, P < 0.02). The kidneys extracted alpha-ketoisocaproic acid, accounting for approximately 70% of net splanchnic alpha-ketoisocaproic acid release. The contributions by the kidneys to whole-body leucine rate of appearance, utilization for protein synthesis, and oxidation were approximately 11%, approximately 10%, and approximately 26%, respectively; those by the splanchnic area approximately 22%, approximately 27%, and approximately 18%; those from estimated total skeletal muscle approximately 37%, approximately 34%, and approximately 48%. Estimated fractional protein synthetic rates were approximately 42%/d in the kidneys, approximately 12% in the splanchnic area, and approximately 1.5% in muscle. This study reports the first estimates of kidney protein synthesis and degradation in humans, also in comparison with those measured in the splanchnic area, the legs, and the whole-body.[1]

In honor of "The Lego Movie," we round up films based on unlikely sources, like "Clue" (board game), "Convoy" (song) and "Mars Attacks!" (trading cards).
"The Lego Movie," like others on this list, is based on an unusual source (i.e., plastic brick toys).
Why is there a movie with toy building blocks? Or a few based on self help books? Or on board games, theme park rides and game shows? In honor of "The Lego Movie," we round up other films with weird sources.
Robert Ryan plays a down-on-his luck boxer whose girlfriend (the recently late Audrey Totter) tries to convince him he can win. But he shouldn't win, because his manager has just bet money on his loss. One of the more fatalistic noirs finds director Robert Wise prowling a deliberately artificial set and amongst the machinations of scheming characters. It's not literal poetry, like the source by Joseph Moncure March, but it finds a poetry all its own.
Arlo Guthrie (center, in van) saw one of his most famous songs turned into a feature length movie with "Alice's Restaurant."
Chuck Barris, if you've never heard, was a weird guy. Left out of the movie "Confessions of a Dangerous Mind" is a factoid only slightly less weird than his claim that he was a government assassin: He co-wrote (with Robert Downey), directed and starred in this hectic, angry comedy, in which a version of himself is beset upon by crazy people who want to be contestants on his show, like a man who blows out candles with farts. It was not a success. Luckily the show returned in 1988, sans Barris.
Tim Curry plays host to an overqualified cast recreating the joys of the board game "Clue."
Tim Burton turned a 1960s trading card series into a star-studded invasion picture with "Mars Attacks!"
Cards aren't recognized as storytelling, but perhaps they should be? Tim Burton's star-studded invasion pic was based on a series of cards released by Topps in 1962. They told a story, kind of: Each card had a major event ("The Invasion Begins," and so on) with a number at the bottom. You pieced the story together piecemeal, almost certainly out of order. Burton, of course, followed little of this, instead turning them into a giddy massacre of famous faces wasted buy cackling cartoons.
The Captain Jack-led series is currently about eleven hours long and counting, with a fifth installment crashing into our lives next year. Credit where credit's due: That's a lot of plotting and work considering the base was a five-minute ride with no discernible narrative. Indeed, installment three ("At World's End") may be the most complicated single storyline outside of the work of Thomas Pynchon.
Issei Ogata portrays the protagonist of Haruki Murakami's tiny short story "Tony Takitani."
The novels and short stories of Japanese novelist Haruki Murakami spin off dense worlds, sometimes for hundreds and hundreds of pages. He can still cram a lot into only a handful of pages, as he did with this portrait of a lonely man mourning his shopaholic wife, which has enough meat for a 75-minute mood piece.
Justin Long gives Ginnifer Goodwin tough love romantic advice (that she'll be able to ignore later) in "He's Just Not That Into You."
The very existence of a movie based on a line of toys that have already, in some cases, been inspired by movies ("Star Wars Lego," "Star Trek Lego," surely a forthcoming "Nymphomaniac Lego") seems like a joke in and of itself. But then filmmakers Phil Lord and Chris Miller ("21 Jump Street") have cornered the market on turning things that don't need to be movies into pretty wonderful, hilarious movies.
The old Ouija boards will perhaps belatedly become a horror movie, due in October.
Actually, we can't believe it's taken this long to make a horror picture out of the silly game where you fool others (or yourself) into thinking ghosts are telling you what to spell to be milked for horror thrills. It's only been around since 1894, one year before the very birth of cinema. But who are we kidding? This will be moronic. Update: Numerous friends have very politely reminded us that we forgot about "Witchboard," the 1986 Tawny Kitaen horror vehicle that also milks the Ouija board for frights. Ditto "Witchboard 2: The Devil's Doorway," starring Mickey Dolnez's daughter Ami, as well as "Witchboard III: The Possession."

What is money and from where does it come?
Posted on October 9, 2019	by Land & Livestock Interntional, Inc.
Keynes said in this statement that the system of income tax covers the fraud of the government printing press. What does this mean? It means that the government and its partner the Federal Reserve are printing money (creating credit) out of nothing and paying it into circulation for whatever the government wants, whether that be a fleet of ships or an army to attack Russia. In fact, all wars fought since the 1900s began are nothing more than bankster wars.
War is good business–invest your son. Or, you can strut around with your thumbs in your armpits bragging about "my daughter the fighter pilot." What are you going to do when it becomes "my daughter the Prisoner of War?" And it is all for the benefit of the politicos and their bankster cronies. — jtl, 419
The Bob Livingston Letter
The myth of money is so cleverly concealed that no one even bothers to inquire. I doubt seriously if members of the Federal Reserve board know what money is and whom it serves.
I know they didn't 40 or 50 years ago. In fact, the late Merrill Jenkins, the monetary realist who wrote the book Money, The Greatest Hoax on Earth, proved in court that Federal Reserve members called as witnesses and their counsel did not know what money is or from where it comes. They could not explain it and could not define it under cross-examination.
The method of money creation is witchcraft. It has been witchcraft for thousands of years. Modern economists and sophisticated eggheads only imagine that they understand money.
Yet nothing that affects our lives could be so all-important.
Money is not a dull subject. The study of money is a study of tyranny. It makes a mockery out of human freedom, property ownership and the accumulation of wealth. Once we understand money, we then know that any imagined personal freedom that we have is a license or privilege given by the government and taken away by the government. The purpose of money is to transfer wealth from the producers (the people) to the nonproducer money creators.
John Maynard Keynes revealed a lot in his book Consequences of the Peace, published in 1920. He stated, "If governments should refrain from regulation (taxation), the worthlessness of the money becomes apparent and the fraud upon the people can be concealed no longer."
To cover the fraud of massive confiscation of wealth with printing press money, we have an income tax system. The income tax system has a very serious purpose. But contrary to what Americans think, the income tax has absolutely nothing to do with funding the government.
The income tax is a consumption tax. The income tax regulates consumption. Note Keynes' word "regulation" in the aforementioned quote. The income tax system penalizes those who are successful. It is a social and economic leveling system.
The income tax also is used to take as much "money" out of circulation as possible. The more "money" taken out through the income tax, the more the money creators can create. The less "money" there is, the better it keeps its imagined value.
The federal government funds itself with "printing press money." The income tax does not fund the federal government. Almost nobody knows this, but it is extremely important to understand. The power to create money is the source of government force and bureaucratic tyranny in our lives.
In 1945, Beardsley Ruml, the chairman of the New York Federal Reserve Bank during World War II, gave an amazing and revealing speech to the American Bar Association in which he explained the operation of our monetary and tax system in a most enlightening way. His speech was published in a periodical named American Affairs in its January 1946 issue.
From the article titled "Taxes For Revenue Are Obsolete," is this quote:
Mr. Ruml read this paper before the American Bar Association during the last year of the war (World War II). It attracted then less attention than it deserved and is even more timely now, with the tax structure undergoing change for peacetime. His thesis is that given (1) control of a central banking system and (2) an inconvertible currency, a sovereign national government is finally free of money worries and need no longer levy taxes for the purpose of providing itself with revenue. All taxation, therefore, should be regarded from the point of view of social and economic consequences.
In other words, the government just prints the money it needs to accomplish its move toward collectivism and egalitarianism.
Ruml's direct quote was, "The necessity for a government to tax in order to maintain both its independence and solvency is true for state and local governments, but it is not true for a national government."
What does all this mean to us? It means that we live under an authoritarian system and we are at its mercy. The federal government has monopoly power to create money (credit or debt) backed by force. And it disguises this system from the people with the income tax system as explained above. Simply stated, corporate government is transferring unbelievable and unimaginable wealth to itself with "money" that it creates and which costs it nothing. Does this not make "organized crime" look like Sunday school? The true purpose of money is to expropriate wealth.
This is how and why world wars are financed that cost millions of young lives. This is how social and economic policy is forged into so-called public policy, a euphemism for government social engineering and government force.
"Public policy" is government force in our lives based on monopoly power to create "money."
For a follow-up study, order Jenkins' book Money, The Greatest Hoax on Earth from Amazon if you can find and afford it. The book is no longer in print and difficult to find. I've seen copies priced above $300 on Amazon in years past, but they are currently listed at $17 to $40. Or we have reproduced transcripts from one of Jenkins' lectures on money in which he describes the court case mentioned above, along with an explanation of what money is, is not, and how the Federal Reserve is sanctioned theft. They are available here.
A truth about the central bank
Here is a truth that is understood by fewer than one in a million people. It is beyond comprehension how so-called economists and learned men completely ignore and are absolutely indifferent to the fact that no country with a central bank is economically free.
As President James A. Garfield said, "He who controls the money supply of a nation controls the nation." Any child who is not yet brain dead, as adults are, can understand this simple, indelible, unalterable truth.
All national fronts have a central bank and all central banks are interdependent and all cooperate in the rulership of the world. They not only rule the world, they own the world. You as an individual may possess something, but you don't own it.
The central banks own everything in existence, including the universities, the medical schools, the media and the organized church. And they own the thoughts of the people and the intents of their hearts.
The fact that most people on this Earth are oblivious to this truth should prove to any rational mind that millions of people live their lives in an unconscious state of mind. This fact is a monument to the power of propaganda.
The Essence of Liberty Volume I: Liberty and History chronicles the rise and fall of the noble experiment with constitutionally limited government. It features the ideas and opinions of some of the world's foremost contemporary constitutional scholars. This is history that you were not taught at the mandatory government propaganda camps otherwise known as "public schools." You will gain a clear understanding of how America's decline and decay is really nothing new and how it began almost immediately with the constitution. Available in both paperback and Kindle versions.

MKD SPO should clarify whether Mayor Taleski has the legal right to sign...
SPO should clarify whether Mayor Taleski has the legal right to sign documents while under house arrest
Today, advisors in Bitola at the session of the Council discussed the quarterly report on how the budget for 2016 was implemented, signed by Mayor Vladimir Taleski. Having proposed the budget, the Mayor has now requested reports be sent to his home, on how the budget is being implemented, confirmed officials from the Municipality of Bitola.
Opposition parties in the Council requested any such discussion be withdrawn from the agenda and not discussed again, until the situation regarding whether the Mayor whilst under house arrest can sign official documents can be clarified.
Gabriela Ilievska, an advisor from the Bitola VMRO-NP party, requested this item on the agenda be withdrawn for 30 days until the SPO and the courts explain and clear up legally whether the Mayor has the right to use his signature in the capacity of his mayoral work while under house arrest.
Ilievska sent a request to the Special Public Prosecutor Katica Janeva, the Basic Court Skopje 1, the Court of Appeals in Skopje and the Legislative Committee of Parliament, for an opinion, on whether the Mayor, who is under house arrest has the legal right to sign official documents.
"Bitola finds itself in a terrible situation. It is being held hostage by one man and that is why I am seeking the opinion of these institutions on the application of Article 163 of the Criminal Procedure Code. Does this individual have the right to sign official documents while under house arrest, is he permitted visitors without the permission of a judge and can those visitors give him official documents to review and sign", Ilievska asked.
An advisor to the SDSM, Zoran Stojchevski, described the situation regarding the detained Mayor in one short sentence: "Everything is the same, it's just that he is not here".
The opposition's proposal to postpone the discussion of the quarterly report, was not accepted by the majority of the government.
"I will say this to the press, the Council will not interfere with the rights and responsibilities of other institutions", said the President of the Council, Silvana Angelevska.

Yoga is very important for every person and Yoga is a ideally suited to prevent physical and mental illness and to protect the body generally, developing and inevitable sense of self reliance and assurance. By its very nature it is inextricably associated with universal laws for respect for life, truth and patience are all indispensable factors in the drawing of a quiet breath, in calmness of mind and firmness of will. In this article telling discuss about the Elements of Yoga.
Yoga consists of 8 limbs or stages for the quest of soul.
we will discuss about the Elements of Yoga.
The elements of yoga are as following The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali is considered an equivalent of a Yoga Bible, and for a good reason. In this relatively short text, written about 2000 years ago, Patanjali reveals the essence of yoga. Yoga is spiritual and defines what yoga is, describes the yoga path, and even warns about the possible dangers on this path. Without getting into the details, it suffice to say that according to Patanjali yoga helps us to control our mind in order to reach a state of freedom from its these ceaseless activities, and assumptions, ultimately helping us to see the reality for what it is and not what our mind makes it out to be.
In the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, there are 8 elements of the yoga path. Patanjali is a pure science of collection Note that the physical yoga practice, the asana element, is only one of the 8 elements of the yoga path.
Asana is the physical posture in yoga. There are hundreds of asanas used today, many of which are variations on each other with little adjustments and add-ons. This is also physical posture and asanas can be of easier type, suitable for all levels, and they can get harder and harder as one progresses in his or her practice. However, all asanas have to be practiced with a certain attitude.
Pranayma is a type of yogic breathing exercise used to prepare a yogi for meditation. There are so many benefits of pranayama and positive effects on one's body and one's mind. First of all, pranayama helps a yogi to improve his or her breathing pattern. Second, pranayama allows for more oxygen to feed the brain, improving its functions, especially its capacity to stay awake and concentrated (for meditation and introspection). It helps a person become more conscious of the breath, of the body, and of the mind, bringing in more awareness of oneself as a result.
Pratyahara is translated as the "withdrawal of the senses". Pratyahara is also sense and It is a natural process that occurs when a person is extremely aware of oneself in the present moment, completely concentrated and absorbed in one's activity. It is something that artists and other creative people refer to as "the flow": being so focused on one's creative process that everything else disappears and no distractions reach the mind.
Dharana is a type of single-pointed concentration. Dharana is a mental fixation but also the flow of consciousness is directed exclusively towards one object (internal or external) and is sustained there for a long time. This type of mental fixation should be uninterrupted and without interfering mental activities of any kind. As you can imagine, dharana is something that takes years of practice and determination for most of us, although some people are born with an innate ability to concentrate like that. Some people, due to their profession, also may develop this type of concentration.
Dyana is meditation.It is a technique of Meditation used to calm down and control the mind, limiting its activity, reaching a state of high concentration, focus, and ultimately – awareness of oneself. When the mind is completely quiet and no mental activity disturbs a yogi, a certain state is reached, a state in which one taps into one's essence, underneath all of the layers and layers of conscious and subconscious mental representations that have to be eliminated. Meditation is really not something that you do, it is rather something that happens when all the conditions for it are met.
It is also the element of yoga and Samadhi is probably the most mysterious, misused, and misunderstood element of the yoga path. It is definitely something that, in its initial stages, completely personal as to the way one can experience it and describe it. Hence, all of the confusion. It is a state beyond words and beyond mental concepts. This is why metaphors, poetry, and art have been the best mediums for the descriptions of samadhi.
