« Esoterik für Einsteiger - Teil 1: Die menschliche Konstitution: Körper, Geist und Seele?
Voraussetzung ist hier wie für jede esoterische Weisheit, der Glaube an etwas "Höheres", wie bestimmt oder unbestimmt das auch sein mag.
Diese dreifache im Westen gebräuchliche Einteilung ist nur eine von vielen. Es gibt bspw. im Buddhismus vier- und fünffache Einteilungen des Menschen, in der Theosophie eine sieben- und eine zehnfache etc.
« The Brain Radiation Scale of Dr. Oscar Brunler - The Key to a Scientific Philosophy of Evolution?
Do you know the englisch physican Dr. Oscar Brunler (1894-1952)? He is known for his Scientific Philosophy of Evolution based on experiments with "brain-radiation". The result of his extensiv scientific research, beside other phenomena, draws an interesting evolution of the spiritual part of men which maybe also correlate with the theosophical view of evolution (in any case with reincarnation).
1) No matter how stupid and illogical scientific theories are, they are as ever easy believed by the people, because science can not err?!?!
2) Today's science is already again become as dogmatic as it was in the Middle Ages, when the truth was ignored and repressed.
3) How important skepticism is (also against established perspectives) and simple, common sense.
« Die Wissenschaft macht sich lächerlich.
This article is summarized translation of a three-parted article-series based on serveral books about the history of family, that I published here on my blog in german.
In general I speaking about the abstinence of everthing unreasonable and this is not a question of definition of unreason. Ask yourself honestly in all conscience and you get the right answer, f.e. are sweets reasonable? Certainly not. Most people know very much what's reanobale and what's not, so let's act accordingly - become or stay reasonable.
Do you ever heard of the electric universe, the electric sun or stars, of plasma physics or plasma cosmology? No? But as a Theosophist, you heard probably from Fohat also called the electricity of life? And what does this have to do with each other?

In Conversation With… Wendy Kopp, Founder and CEO of Teach for All
Like many students, Wendy Kopp spent much of her final year of university working out what she wanted to do when she graduated. "I found myself searching for a way to make a difference in the world". She had become increasingly concerned with the inequity in the United States' education system and how doors are opened or closed according to the circumstances in which you grow up. One thing that struck her was that there were many employers recruiting graduates for two year programmes on Wall Street, but there was nothing encouraging graduates to get into teaching in a similar way.
Wendy wrote her undergraduate thesis on this issue, including an outline of a solution to the problem. This became the basis for Teach for America, a charity she founded in 1989, straight out of university, to combat educational inequality in the US. It recruits graduates who commit to two years of teaching in schools in disadvantaged areas. Within a year, Wendy was in charge of 500 graduates wanting to have a positive impact on children's education. Now, Teach for America boasts over 58,000 alumni.
When Wendy began her journey with Teach for America, she never thought she would be inventing a framework that would later be replicated all over the world. Yet this is exactly what started to happen. "I met people from all over the world, from India to Lebanon to China, who were determined that something similar needed to happen in their countries."
These interactions led Wendy to launch Teach for All in 2007. "It was developed to be a network of independent, locally-led organisations around the world, all working towards the same goal, able to share ideas and help accelerate each other's progress." Teach for All now has 60 partner organisations worldwide, all working towards the same goal of giving every child a good education. The Huo Family Foundation has supported Teach for All since 2018, with grants totalling $950,000.
Wendy says that to begin with, she assumed there would be clear, distinctive differences between education in the US and education around the world, making it challenging to replicate Teach for America in other countries. This was not the case. Describing a trip to India where she met Shaheen Mistri, who would go on to found Teach for India, she says "I realised that the circumstances of the kids in a classroom in Mumbai are more similar to the circumstances of the kids in the Bronx in New York than they are to their more privileged peers in India. Educators in disadvantaged communities around the world face incredibly similar adversities."
As with any conversation on education in recent months, our attention turns to how COVID-19 has impacted the organisations Teach for All supports. Despite the pandemic exacerbating existing societal inequalities, particularly those found in education, Wendy is refreshingly positive. "This era has been very affirming for the work we do. We saw all the world's schools shut down in March 2020…then we saw the network teachers and Teach for All alumni just lean in to keep their students safe and learning."
Within the Teach for All network, partner organisations had to be creative in finding ways to engage their pupils remotely. Wendy notes "around the world, our network leaders were training tens of thousands of teachers in distance learning strategies, even those not directly related to the Teach for All network"
An example of this creativity was Teach for Nigeria, founded by Folawe Omikunle. Because a large proportion of their students did not have access to the internet, they decided to broadcast lessons on the radio. Quickly, the Nigerian government gave Teach for Nigeria access to over 200 radio stations in order to reach as many children as possible. Through the Teach for All network, this idea was shared internationally, seeing notable success in Columbia and Chile, showing just how valuable this global network is to educators across the world.
Building Teach for All has not been easy. "There are huge challenges around how to sustain these organisations financially … There are also real challenges in figuring out how to build governmental support and, depending on the country, the politics surrounding education can be quite challenging."
"We wouldn't be anywhere without philanthropy… at the onset of Teach for All, there was so much scepticism that we wouldn't find the same kind of philanthropic support that Teach For America found courtesy of the philanthropic tradition in the US… Yet we have seen the same kinds of champions emerge all over the world and our partner organisations wouldn't have the impact they do if it wasn't for their, and our, philanthropic partners."

Dave Hanten
One of the state's finest amateur golfers, Hanten burst onto the scene as a 15-year-old when he finished second to Phil Donohue in the 1961 match-play championship.
A three-time winner of the state match-play tourney (1969, 1974, 1976) and three-time winner of the state stroke-play event (1974, 1975, 1977), the Huron High grad was the first player to win both tourneys in the same year. His six major titles were the most until Ryan Jansa eclipsed the mark in 2003. He was runner-up in the state match-play tourney three times and was medalist in the event four times in a six-year span (1971-76).
Hanten, who was taught by legendary Huron pro Hobe Richards Sr., qualified for the U.S. Amateur five times and the U.S. Junior twice. He won the Central South Dakota Open five times (this was a really big tourney in the 1960s and '70s). In 1980, he shot a course-record 61 at Minnehaha Country Club (par 70).
He was the South Dakota Independent Male Athlete of the Year for 1976 as chosen by the state's sportswriters. He was inducted into the South Dakota Golf Association Hall of Fame in 1997. Hanten is a former board member and president of the South Dakota Golf Association. He was a co-founder of Willow Run Golf Course in Sioux Falls and has been the course's director of golf since it opened in 1986.
At Arizona State, he won the Western Athletic Conference tourney in 1967. Among those he defeated in that tourney was Johnny Miller, who became a well-known golf TV broadcaster and had a very successful PGA career. Hanten also was all-conference that year.
At Huron, Hanten was a two-time state prep champion (1961 and '63) as well as a two-time state Jaycee junior champ.

University College London (UCL) has released images of the Martian surface with five times the resolution of anything previously sent back from Mars orbit. The images come courtesy of the new Super-Resolution Restoration (SRR) imaging technique developed by a UCL research team, which takes images from spacecraft orbiting Mars and stacks and matches them to create new, more detailed images of the Beagle 2 lander, ancient Martian lake beds, and the tracks of the NASA MER-A rover.
The fleet of orbiters now circling the Red Planet have added a bonanza of data to our knowledge and in four decades have mapped Mars with a detail that took centuries to do for the Earth. Unfortunately, the images they can send back is limited by the size of the telescopes that can be sent with the orbiters. According to UCL, these smaller optics combined with atmospheric interference and restricted bandwidth of Mars-Earth communications limits image resolution to about 25 cm (10 in).
To help overcome this, UCL's SRR takes existing images taken from orbit at different angles and stacks and matches them to produce images that can resolve objects as small as 5 cm (2 in) in diameter. In the recent study, the team took stacks of four to eight 25-cm images from the NASA HiRISE camera, which came back with high enough resolution to zoom in on specific objects like the failed Beagle 2 lander.
By contrast, Earth is a very poor candidate because it is so dynamic due to atmospheric turbulence that images can alter dramatically within seconds of one another.
According to UCL, the new images provide new evidence that the landing site of Beagle 2 has been correctly identified and the team hopes that SRR can find not only other failed landings, but also identify safe landing sites for future missions and provide rover-level images from orbit.
SpaceX, the space launch company founded by Elon Musk, plans to send a spacecraft to Mars as soon as 2018, in the first stage of an audacious plan to establish a human colony on Earth's nearest neighbour.
News of the plans emerged on Wednesday after Nasa, the US space agency, published details of an agreement under which it would support the voyage of a SpaceX Red Dragon craft to the planet.
The plans — the first interplanetary mission by a commercial company — mark the first stage in the realisation of Mr Musk's vision to turn humans into a species living on more than one planet. However, the small craft — based on SpaceX's resupply capsules for the International Space Station — will be uncrewed.
SpaceX confirmed the plans on its Twitter and Facebook accounts. It said the Red Dragon missions would support the technologies needed to "land large payloads propulsively on Mars". Mr Musk is expected to announce fuller details of his plans for a Mars colony at a conference in Guadalajara, Mexico, in September.
"Red Dragon missions to Mars will help inform the overall Mars colonisation architecture that SpaceX will reveal later this year," the company said.
The Mars announcement came on the same day that the US Air Force awarded SpaceX its first ever contract to launch a US national security satellite. The company will be paid $87.2m to carry a GPS satellite into orbit next May. The company won the right to launch spy satellites — previously a monopoly of United Launch Alliance — in May last year.
Dava Newman, a Nasa deputy administrator, wrote in a blog post about the agency's plans for a crewed mission to Mars that the agency was "particularly excited" about the SpaceX project, one of several co-operation deals with private companies.
"In exchange for Martian entry, descent and landing data from SpaceX, Nasa will offer technical support for the firm's plan to attempt to land an uncrewed Dragon 2 spacecraft on Mars," Ms Newman wrote.
The agreement commits Nasa to offer SpaceX help with deep space navigation and communications, design of the spacecraft's trajectory and help with developing the landing system.
The SpaceX mission will use a version of the Dragon spacecraft that currently flies to the International Space Station under SpaceX's resupply contracts with Nasa. As part of work to develop a version of the capsule that can carry astronauts, SpaceX has developed and tested motors that allow the craft to make a safe landing on earth in the event of an emergency during take-off. SpaceX would adapt that system to allow the craft to touch down on Mars.
SpaceX released a YouTube video of a test of the system on a launch pad in Texas, filmed in November.
The craft would be launched on its journey by SpaceX's new Falcon Heavy rocket, a heavy-lift version of its existing Falcon 9, which it expects to fly for the first time later this year. Because interplanetary missions require spacecraft to be launched from earth's surface faster than orbital flights such as missions to the space station, they depend on heavy rockets, usually three standard rockets strapped together.
At present, the US's only heavy-lift rocket is United Launch Alliance's expensive Delta IV Heavy. SpaceX expects that the Falcon Heavy will offer a far more economic heavy launch capability.
While SpaceX did not say how long it expected Red Dragon's trip to take, journey times to Mars for space probes are generally between three and six months, depending on the route taken.
I can say one nice thing about Apple. When you buy one of their products and take it out of the box, you power it up and it works the first time. There is no need for calls to tech support, etc. I decided to upgrade printer capabilities in the house. I bought two Canon printers from Amazon.com.They were delivered. When I pulled them out of the box they were easy to assemble. When they were plugged in, they worked right the first time without any hassles. What a pleasant surprise!!!!!
WASHINGTON — Justin Trudeau's gender-equal cabinet could soon be replicated in the United States, depending on the outcome of the current American election.
The poll-leading presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton, appeared to indicate her intention to follow suit when asked about it in a televised event on the eve of Tuesday's five northeastern primaries.
But in reality, Canada didn't blaze that particular trail.
Finland's cabinet is 62 per cent female; Cape Verde's is 53 per cent; Sweden's is 52 per cent; and France's is 50 per cent, according to last year's statistics from the Inter-Parliamentary Union.
Even within Canada, the first gender-parity cabinet was created not by Trudeau — but by the former premier in Trudeau's home province of Quebec, Jean Charest.
Clinton remains the U.S. presidential front-runner, despite a tougher-than-expected primary challenge.
She retains a significant lead over her more progressive challenger, Sen. Bernie Sanders, and is expected to add to it Tuesday in primaries in Maryland, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, Connecticut and Delaware.
She has also consistently led general-election polls against the two Republican front-runners — Donald Trump and Sen. Ted Cruz — although she has performed far more poorly against less-successful Republican candidates like Ohio Gov. John Kasich and the dropped-out Marco Rubio.
Trump has also been asked about the Canadian cabinet — and he won't commit to copying the Trudeau formula.
What do we want? Donald Trump asks his crowds. "A wall!" they reply. Who is going to pay for it? "Mexico!" Now, here is a question Mr Trump never asks: who will vote in record numbers against me? "Hispanics!" should be the response. The difference is that the last one will almost certainly happen. As the countdown to the final primary in California intensifies, the state's conservatives might ask another question: Do we want the Republican Party to go the way it went in the golden state? If the answer is no, which it should be, why is Mr Trump leading in its June 7 polls?
But that is only the start. Hispanic Americans are younger than their white counterparts, which means they will vote in ever greater shares at each future election. The median age for Hispanics is just 28 according to Pew Research Center: Hispanic Trends, against 43 for whites. The younger you go down the age scale, the higher the share of Hispanics. Last year, for the first time, whites dropped below half of all Americans under the age of five. This is roughly where California was 30 years ago. Then came Pete Wilson, a Republican governor, who in 1994 put forward proposition 187, which banned illegal immigrants from using non-emergency services, and set up a screening system to identify them. To documented, electorally-registered, Hispanics "Prop 187" was the equivalent to Mr Trump's wall. California's Republicans have been on a downhill slope ever since.
There are two great ironies to Mr Trump's coming Hispanic train wreck. The first is that the outcry against illegal immigrants is several years out of date. In the past five years, more than 1m have followed Mr Romney's advice and "self-deported". The number has dropped from 12.7m to 11m according to the US census. America's immigration crisis is over and has to some degree gone into reverse. The number of people caught crossing the US-Mexico border in the first quarter of 2016 fell to its lowest level since 1969, according to the US border patrol. Politics is about perception, rather than reality, so such facts have little sway on Mr Trump's supporters. Rightly or wrongly — but mostly wrongly — they see a link between their declining wages and the impact of illegal labour.
The second irony is that Republicans have been here before. The party is likely to pay a price for its amnesia. In the 1920s, the largely Protestant Republican party pushed through US restrictions that kept out Catholic newcomers for the next generation. The torrent of Sicilians, Irish, Poles and others slowed to a trickle. In so doing, Republicans cemented Catholic loyalty to the Democratic party for the next generation. It was only in the 1980s that "Reagan Democrats" felt able to vote Republican.
How long will Republicans pay for Mr Trump's anti-Hispanic rhetoric? If history offers a guide, it will be a long time. If America's future offers another, nominating Mr Trump could mark a point of no return. California provides the writing on the wall, so to speak — a wall that Republicans will pay for.
Everyone Facebook is amazing. On September 11, 1996 I arrived in San Jose, California on a Greyhound bus. I checked in at the Plaza Hotel near the bus station. I desperately needed a job. When you were 52 years of age, employment was hard to find. I was low on cash and found that bus drivers would let you ride for free if you were broke. I got on one bus and plead poverty. The driver was this very nice but very tough African-American lady. She told me that there was no excuse for me to be in these circumstances. She told me that she was going to give me a ride to the Veteran's Center in downtown San Jose where I could find employers. She dropped me off in front of the Veteran's Center and I went in. There was a board there with several jobs. One caught my eye. It was with the manage consulting firm George S, May Company. I called and made an appointment for a job interview. I got directions and rode the bus to the company. It was located in a beautiful brick building. When I got up to the reception area I was greeted by a beautiful woman from Trinidad named Lovern. She spoke with an elegant British accent and is my friend until today. She directed me to the office of Scott Ocheltree. We had a nice interview and got along well. He made me an offer of employment in the telemarketing department. It was only $8.00 an hour but it was a start. I was told to report to work the following morning. I did and started a one-year career at the George S. May Company. My housing situation was precarious. I was staying in a hotel that charged $30.00 per night. A friend in Texas sent me $100 to keep me at the hotel 3 days longer. When that money ran out, I asked Scott to loan me $60 for two more days. He did so and I repaid him later. Scott was a great boss and a wonderful human being. I'm so glad to be reunited with him and to tell him that I have not forgotten his kindness in that dark moment in my life.
My friends since the foreclosure crisis began in 2007 some 6,325,000 American families have lost their homes to foreclosure. One dear friend of mine lost his home of 49 years. I have been in a pitched battle to save my townhouse in San Jose from foreclosure. I have had a great San Jose realtor representing me. I got the joyous news yesterday that my home had been taken off the foreclosure list.
Library of CongressHarriet Tubman in 1911, two years before her death.
If Canada could have hoped for anyone on a United States Treasury Note, it would have to be Harriet Tubman.
Here was a woman who lived in Canada, who risked her life to turn people into Canadians and stands as a testament that when it came to basic human freedom, the so-called "land of liberty" couldn't hold a candle to a cold, agrarian British colony.
"I wouldn't trust Uncle Sam with my people no longer, I brought 'em all clear off to Canada," said Tubman during her lifetime.
On Wednesday, the U.S. Treasury Department announced that the U.S. $20 bill will soon feature Tubman in place of seventh president Andrew Jackson, one of four men featured on U.S. money who owned slaves.
"We're ecstatic that we can call her one of our own," said Rochelle Bush, historian for Tubman's former church in St. Catharines, Ont.
Between the 1851 passage of the Fugitive Slave and the opening shots of the Civil War 10 years later, Tubman was a well-known attendee at the Salem Chapel British Methodist Episcopal Church.
That is, when she wasn't slipping back over the border to smuggle more people to Canada via the Underground Railroad.
In total, Tubman freed roughly 300 former slaves by bringing them to Canadian soil, and hundreds of their descendants remain in the country to this day.
Within Tubman's own family tree, in fact, Bush estimates there are roughly 100 descendants living in Ontario and British Columbia.
As she noted, it's a further testament to Canada that some of these Tubman descendants look black, while others look white.
"Thank god for Canada; interracial marriage was accepted," she said. In several former slave states, meanwhile, interracial marriage would not be legalized until 50 years after Tubman's death.
Tubman has been named by Parks Canada as a person of national historic significance. Saint Catharines just opened the Harriet Tubman Public School, complete with a life-sized bronze statue of Tubman.
In fact, as Canada tries to find its own woman to put on the money, Tubman has been in the running.
Kathleen Powell, manager of the St. Catharines Museum, similarly touted that "someone from St. Catharines" was now on a U.S. banknote.
That banknote, incidentally, is currently worth $25.33 Canadian.
The honour will soon make Tubman among the most recognizable visages in the world, up there with Albert Einstein and the ubiquitous portrait of Mao Zedong.

United States currency is used well beyond the country's borders, and greenbacks remain the official or unofficial means of monetary exchange in several Central American countries and unstable corners of Africa.
And among this vast array of international transactions, it's the $20 that changes hands the most.
"There's more $20 bills than human beings out there," said Douglas Mudd, director of the Edward C. Rochette Money Museum in Colorado.
The choice of Tubman is of sort of a no-brainer. In her 90 years, Tubman ran the gamut of United States history; a former slave, an abolitionist, a Civil War hero and an early suffragist.
And, like any archetypal American hero, she always carried a gun.
"In one person, she covers a number of different bases," said Mudd.
The right-leaning National Review, for one, praised the addition of a "gun-toting, Jesus-loving spy" in place of "overheated pompous populist" Andrew Jackson.
Appearing on a U.S. treasury note has a way of thrusting people into immortality.
Alexander Hamilton was an influential Secretary of the Treasury, to be sure, but it was likely his face on the $10 that kept his legend strong centuries after his death.
It was the prospect of taking Hamilton off the money, in fact, that inspired a revival in the Founding Father's life story, including the hit Broadway musical Hamilton.
The National Post recently spoke to the Alexander Hamilton Birthplace, located in the Caribbean country of St. Kitts and Nevis. Despite its remote location, the house still gets 3,000 visitors a year, most of them Americans.
Canadians, of course, have a bad habit of smugly talking up their country in the presence of Americans, be it the benefits of socialized healthcare or noting that the Canadian Armed Forces largely sat out the Iraq War.
And Bush said it's entirely fine now to "proclaim it to everybody" that the woman on the $20 bill appreciated Canada's policy of not forcing black people to work for free.
Of course, in addition to former slaves, Canada also took in the people who owned them.
After the Civil War, in which Tubman served as a valuable Union spy and armed scout, British North America accepted many exiled Southerners from the defeated Confederacy, including Confederate president Jefferson Davis.
Today is Texas Independence Day.On this day in 1836, General Sam Houston Walked into the tent of General Santa Ana who was having a siesta with a couple of his mistresses. General Houston drew his gun and put General Santa Ana under arrest. At that moment Texas won its independence from Mexico and became the Republic of Texas. General Santa Ana survived his captivity. He did get revenge for his humiliation by the gringos. In 1847 he went to New York City. He got involved in a fraudulent stock deal. He and several million dollars went missing. It is assumed that General Santa Ana disappeared into the Mexican country side.


Historically, kernels that ran on Android devices have typically been 2+ years old compared to mainline (this year's flagship devices are shipping with 4.9 kernels) and because of the challenges associated with updating, most devices in the field are far behind the latest long-term stable (LTS) releases. The Android team has been gradually putting in place the necessary processes and enhancements to permanently bridge this gap. Much of the work on the Android kernel in 2018 focused on improving the ability to update the kernel -- at least to recent LTS levels. This work comprises a significant testing effort to ensure downstream partners that updating to new LTS levels is safe, as well as process work to convince partners that the security benefits of taking LTS patches far outweigh the risk of new bugs. The testing also focuses on ABI consistency (within LTS releases) for interfaces relied upon by userspace and kernel modules. This has resulted in enhancements to the LTP suite and a new proposal to the mailing list for "kernel namespaces".
Additionally, the Android kernel testing benefits from additional tools developed by Google that are enabled via the Clang compiler. Google's devices have been shipping kernels built via Clang for 2 years. The Android team tests and assists in maintaining arm and arm64 kernel builds with clang.
The talk will also cover some of the key features being developed for Android and introduce topics that will be discussed during the Android Micro-Conference.

The mechanism of the 1'-4 coupling reaction between isopentenyl pyrophosphate and geranyl pyrophosphate catalyzed by farnesyl pyrophosphate synthetase from porcine liver was studied with the allylic substrate analogue 2-fluorogeranyl pyrophosphate. 2-Fluorogeranyl pyrophosphate is an alternate substrate for the enzyme, yielding 6-fluorofarnesyl pyrophosphate upon condensation with isopentenyl pyrophosphate. The Michaelis constant for the fluoroanalogue, Km = 1.1 micron, is similar to that measured for geranyl pyrophosphate, Km = 0.7 micron. However, the rate of condensation with the fluoroanalogue was only 8.4 X 10(-4) that of the normal reaction. A similar rate of depression (4.4 X 10(-3)) was found for solvolysis of geranyl methanesulfonate and the corresponding 2-fluoro derivative, reactions known to proceed via cationic intermediates. In contrast, displacement of chlorine from geranyl chloride and 2-fluorogeranyl chloride by cyanide showed a small (2-fold) rate enhancement for the fluoro compound. Finally, 2-fluorogeranyl pyrophosphate is a competitive inhibitor against geranyl pyrophosphate. These data are interpreted in terms of an ionization-condensation-elimination mechanism for the 1'-4 coupling reaction.

Review: Airboy#2
Posted on: July 5, 2015 /
Categories: Comics, Image
There was a lot of controversy over this issue, and for the most part, it has settled down thanks to an extensive apology from writer James Robinson. Given the stance I took on comments made by John Byrne, I felt that I needed to look into the issue in question. My review will talk about the controversy and the apology, as well as consider the issue and the contents in question as a whole.
AIRBOY #1
Story By: James Robinson
Art By: Greg Hinkle
Cover By: Greg Hinkle

Solicitation:
Are the drugs wearing off, or just kicking in? After a night of debauchery, James and Greg have a hell of a hangover in the form of 1940s comic book character Airboy. The aviation hero is curious to learn what the future has to offer. Hey, you try denying a reality you've already altered.
First I'm going to discuss the issue itself and then I'll talk about the controversy around it, and how it has played out.
This issue continues a first issue where the creators descend into a drug-fueled world of self-destruction to avoid the perceived descent that the writer views his world has become, and his depression about it. Airboy has appeared to them and is confronting them about this strange world that he views as almost dystopian. In keeping him with them, they continue with an alcohol-fueled exploration of what to do with a character that, having slipped into public domain, has no apparent relevance to a modern society.
Hinkle's art and how it's colored works perfectly. The world that the creators inhabit is indeed rendered in what could be described as a dystopia to someone from the 1940s. I think that Hinkle is accurately rendering Robinson's struggle with his place in the comics industry, and a series of behaviors that are indeed, self-destructive. That's where the problem is with the issue, and in fact, the series.
All of the people that Robinson and Hinkle meet along their way are not actual people, and we fail to see their notivations. In the first issue that engage in a threesome with a larger woman, whom we get no dialogue from. She is seen simply as one more step on their descent into self-destruction, on the same level as heroin and ecstasy. In this issue, the transgender people at the heart of the controversy, as well as all transgender people in the location where the scene happens are not whole people, in fact, just like the woman from the first issue, they get no lines. Airboy's reaction is extreme and definitely transphobic. However the discussion of the transgendered people in the bar uses only the the slur "tr**ny" and by not giving any of them any personality, we are left only with a caricature of and entire community. This is the reason that this issue is given as low a rating as it did. If just once the slur had been objected to by a character, if just a few panels of dialogue between Robinson and the person that performed the sex act on him in the bathroom had shown that person to be someone and not a step in Robinson's journey of self-destruction, then it might not have been so bad.
That being said, I should note that self-destructive people on the way to that nadir in their lives rarely see those around them as complete people. In this way, the story and scenes are accurate. Unfortunately, they are still hurtful and simply showing his own character to be oblivious of their feelings would illustrate this point without the reader having to pull it out from in between the gutters and page turns.
Fortunately, James Robinson has read the criticism and issued an apology through GLAAD. He does explain the pitfalls of trying to write a story about a character, in this case himself, at a horrible place in his life. I hope that the last two issues have him arriving where he needs to be and not making light of all of these horrible actions he's committed and horrible things he's said to and about people.
I look forward to the last half of the series, as while this issue is rated at 65% due to that controversial scene, with that scene not considered, it clearly rates at around 85%. I find fault with how Robinson is depicting people on his journey that are not named James Robinson, Greg Hinkle, or Airboy. It should also be noted that Robinson depicts his wife in the first issue as an admirable person that Robinson has remorse about harming. This story is about Robinson at a low point in his life, and at such a point, he will not be as admirable as he showed his wife. I would just like other people being shown to have admirable qualities as well.

One of the many subjects that I have pondered upon in the last few years is the role of education and whether a learning of our thousands of years old human culture of pathei-mathos – understood and appreciated as a distinct culture , and thence as an academic subject – could possibly aid us, as a species, to change; aid us to become more honourable, more compassionate, less egoistical, less violent, as individuals, and thus aid us to possibly avoid in our own lives those hubriatic errors, and causing the suffering, that the culture of pathei-mathos reveals are not only unethical but also which we humans make and cause and have made and caused again and again and again. That is, can a knowledge and appreciation of this culture, perhaps learnt individually and/or in institutions such as schools and colleges, provide with us with that empathic, supra-personal, perspective which I personally – as a result of my own learning and experiences – am inclined to feel could change, evolve, us not only as individuals but as a species?
For thousands of years – from the classical world to the Renaissance to fairly recent times – Studia Humanitatis (an appreciation and understanding of our φύσις as human beings) was considered to be the basis of a good, a sound, education.
Furthermore, this paganus natural balance implied an acceptance by the individual of certain communal responsibilities and duties; of such responsibilities and duties, and their cultivation, as a natural and necessary part of our existence as mortals.
In the Christian societies of Renaissance Europe, Studia Humanitatis became more limited, to subjects such as history, moral philosophy, poetry, certain classical authors, and Christian writers such as Augustine and Jerome, with the general intent being a self improvement with the important proviso that this concentration on the advancement of the individual to 'noble living' by means of 'noble examples' (classical and Christian) should not conflict with the Christian weltanschauung  and its perceiveration of obedience to whatever interpretation of Christian faith and eschatology the individual favoured or believed in. In more recent times, Studia Humanitatis has become the academic study of 'the liberal arts', the 'humanities', often as a means to equip an individual with certain personal skills – such as the ability to communicate effectively and to rationally analyse problems – which might be professionally useful in later life.
However, the culture of pathei-mathos provides an addition to the aforementioned Studia Humanitatis, and an addition where the focus is not on a particular weltanschauung (paganus, Christian, liberal, or humanist) but rather on our shared pathei-mathos: on what we and others have learnt, and can learn, about our human φύσις from experience of grief, suffering, trauma, injustice. For it is such personal learning from experience, or the records of or the influence of the experiences of others, which is not only the essence of much of what we, and others for thousands of years, have appreciated and learned from some of the individual subjects or fields of learning that formed the basis for the aforementioned Studia Humanitatis – history, litterarum cognitio, and music, for example – but also what, at least in my view, provides us with perhaps the deepest, but most certainly with the most poignant, insight into our φύσις as human beings.
Thus considered as an individual subject or field of learning, academic or otherwise, the culture of pathei-mathos would most certainly help to form and shape the manners, the character, the knowledge, of young people, for it has the potential to provide us with a perception and an understanding of the supra-personal unity – the mundus – of which we are a mortal part, and thus perhaps can aid us to become as inwardly balanced, as harmonious, as the unity beyond and encompassing us, bringing as such a perception, understanding, and balance, does that appreciation and empathic intuition of others which is compassion and aiding as such compassion does the cessation of the suffering that an unbalanced – a hubriatic, egoistical – human φύσις causes and has caused for so many millennia.
But if we cannot make that or a similar personal journey; if we do not or cannot learn from our human culture of pathei-mathos, from the many thousands of years of such suffering as that culture documents and presents and remembers; if we no longer concern ourselves with de studiis humanitatis ac litterarum, then do we as a sentient species deserve to survive? For if we cannot so learn, cannot so change, cannot so educate ourselves, or are not so educated in such subjects, then it seems to me we may never be able to escape to the freedom and the natural evolution, the diversity, that await among the star-systems of our Galaxy. For what awaits us if we, the unlearned, stay unchanged, are only repetitions of the periodicity of human-caused suffering until such time as we exhaust, lay waste, make extinct, our cultures, our planet, and finally ourselves. And no other sentient life, elsewhere in the Cosmos, would mourn our demise.
From a letter sent to a personal correspondent. Some footnotes have been added, post scriptum, in an effort to elucidate some parts of the text and provide appropriate references.
 I define the culture of pathei-mathos as the accumulated pathei-mathos of individuals, world-wide, over thousands of years, as (i) described in memoirs, aural stories, and historical accounts; as (ii) have inspired particular works of literature or poetry or drama; as (iii) expressed via non-verbal mediums such as music and Art, and as (iv) manifest in more recent times by 'art-forms' such as films and documentaries.
The culture of pathei-mathos thus includes not only traditional accounts of, or accounts inspired by, personal pathei-mathos, old and modern – such as the With The Old Breed: At Peleliu and Okinawa by Eugene Sledge, One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, and the poetry of people as diverse as Sappho and Sylvia Plath – but also works or art-forms inspired by such pathei-mathos, whether personal or otherwise, and whether factually presented or fictionalized. Hence films such as Monsieur Lazhar and Etz Limon may poignantly express something about our φύσις as human beings and thus form part of the culture of pathei-mathos.
 A pedantic aside: it is my considered opinion that the English term 'balanced' (a natural completeness, a natural equilibrium) is often a better translation of the classical Latin perfectus than the commonly accepted translation of 'perfect', given what the English word 'perfect' now imputes (as in, for example, 'cannot be improved upon'), and given the association of the word 'perfect' with Christian theology and exegesis (as, for example, in suggesting a moral perfection).

Five Eyes and the encryption enigma
Peter Coroneos
By weakening encryption - by requiring encryption providers to afford backdoors to governments - we open the way to criminality.
Photo: Flickr/ Blogtrepreneur
This week senior government figures from the 'Five Eyes' nations - US, Australia, Canada, UK and New Zealand - met in Ottawa to consider further measures on counter-terrorism cooperation. Top of the substantive agenda this week was what, if anything, to do about encrypted communications.
This topic resurfaced with the most recent UK attacks as it became clear that terrorists are embracing methods of communication now freely available (such as WhatsApp, Signal and Facebook Messaging) to frustrate interception, surveillance and pre-emptive arrests under post-9/11 anti-terror laws.
This is a big deal that taps into an age-old problem. Technology is always subject to abuse and in the modern age law enforcement and national security agencies have struggled with internet technologies that empower the bad guys as well as everyone else.
Coding and concealing messages are themselves almost as old as communications technology itself. The Ancient Greek and Roman use of ciphers, the coded hieroglyphs of the Egyptians and the encrypted tablet messages of the Mesopotamians all show a refined appreciation of the value of military or commercial secrets. The famous Enigma machine and its decoding by British Intelligence is now the stuff of Hollywood, but was pivotal in its military significance of the day.
The later development of electronic scrambling of information that culminated in the development of public key encryption and encryption standards in the 1970s, combined with the democratising power of the internet levelled the field. Powers and functions that previously stood behind high barriers to entry became available to all.
An aspect that may have exercised minds in Ottawa is crypto's cousin, steganography, hiding messages inside innocuous objects or forms to avoid detection, should the message be intercepted. This is not encryption per se, but its utility to terrorists is clear.
Again, it's ancient. Herodotus, in The Histories, refers to three fascinating examples, all instrumental in warfare. The first, a message tattooed on a slave's shaved head, who after some weeks was sent across enemy lines, and re-shaved on arrival to reveal the instruction. The second, the stitching a message into the belly of a hare, and the third, the inscription onto wooden tablet which was then coated with wax.
The modern day equivalents include concealing a text file in music or image content using freely available software. It means you don't even need to encrypt a message to render it beyond the reach of prying eyes. If the message is a terrorist call to arms or a signal to initiate an attack, then clearly we have a problem.
Why encrypt?
The current debate around providing agencies backdoors to encryption protocols and products is not new.
It first arose in 1993 when the Clinton administration proposed the ill-fated 'clipper chip' solution to unlocking coded illicit messaging. Efforts to treat encryption algorithms as munitions failed, amid outcry that they would stifle legitimate commercial development of the Internet. The same arguments apply today, except that encryption algorithms now underpin most of our commerce and much of our communications.
What has changed however, is that since about 2005, organised crime and nation-state sponsored IP theft has entered the scene. Stealing credentials and the value associated with them, including valuable corporate intellectual property, is now an industry with secondary markets, and a state sponsored activity where inflicting economic harm is used as a geopolitical weapon. Encryption is a check against these forces.
Cyber criminals have increasingly come to rely on flaws in operating systems and software to steal information and credentials. Were governments to mandate the installation of backdoors into software and devices, there is nothing to say that these weaknesses would not also be exploited by the bad guys.
Why break encryption?
Yet breaking encryption may be what is needed to prevent terrorist attacks where prior intelligence indicates a likelihood and law enforcement agencies need to know more.
Here in Australia, the data retention laws, finally enacted last year, were the product of over 15 years' pressure by government on industry to concede to handing over transactional information - but not the contents - of mobile, internet and fixed telephony communications. The contents are subject to judicial protection and therefore are only available under warrant.
As head of the national representative body for internet, I was first approached in 1998 to facilitate a request from law enforcement that wanted the internet industry to voluntarily agree to protocols regarding metadata retention and provision. The agencies said they were stymied by the standard practice of ISPs and telcos to overwrite data that had little value beyond short term-billing functions.
Our initial position was reflexively pro-privacy. We were not convinced of the efficacy of the proposal, yet we were prepared to entertain alternatives that could be agreed between industry and agencies if only to retain a hand in the final outcome.
We prepared a draft code of practice on cybercrime, but were unable to sell it to our member telcos who, at the time, argued they would only take on these obligations if they were legislated. We failed to convince them that legislation could be far worse than self-regulation. After successive attempts to get industry to play ball a stalemate was reached, principally over costs, as well as lack of definition of data sets.
The watershed was the 2014 Lindt siege, when the ground shifted and the moral high ground opposing regulation became untenable. We may be about to witness this all over again, this time with encryption.
Last year Apple very publicly refused to hand over access to a locked iPhone citing the same pro-encryption arguments used above. Subsequently, law enforcement officials unlocked the phone using third party technology. While Apple's position was lauded by other companies in the tech sector, each successive terrorist attack facilitated by some form of technology makes it more difficult to occupy the moral high ground around privacy.
The dilemma
The tensions between privacy and security are not difficult to understand, but are very hard to balance. Essentially, it's the terrorists on one side, the cybercriminals on the other, and governments and the rest of us in the middle.
Weakening encryption - by requiring encryption providers to afford backdoors to governments - would open the way to criminality. Governments themselves rely on encryption; the very technologies they seek to regulate they use in their own communications. The Turnbull Cabinet reputedly relies on WhatsApp or Signal to secure their own end-to-end communications. But once you weaken encryption for one purpose you weaken it for all.
The communique issued at the end of the Five Eyes meeting is carefully nuanced on the subject of encryption. It says:
Ministers and Attorneys General also noted that encryption can severely undermine public safety efforts by impeding lawful access to the content of communications during investigations into serious crimes, including terrorism. To address these issues, we committed to develop our engagement with communications and technology companies to explore shared solutions while upholding cybersecurity and individual rights and freedoms.
It comes as no surprise that no definitive position was reached, given the complexity of the issues involved. Not least of these is that the means of encryption and communications is now almost exclusively in the private sector domain. The statement recognises implicitly that governments can't resolve this dilemma without the cooperation of technology and communications providers.
The statement 'continue to engage with' should be interpreted as a concession that the power of governments to compel outcomes may be nearing its expiration date. In that sense, it's a tacit acknowledgement that ubiquitous technology platforms are becoming more powerful than governments. The encryption story is thus a subset of a much bigger story, one that not even Herodotus could have predicted.

In this research papers I am traveling to discourse a twosome of things refering the packaging and selling of alcoholic drinks. so I am traveling to discourse the mark audience of the intoxicant industry. there are many regulations refering the packaging and selling of intoxicant in South-Africa. this is due to the fact that we have a batch of auto accidents and Acts of the Apostless of force connected to the ingestion as evident in the Gauteng spirits policy.
Harmonizing to euromonitor. com the biggest tendency at this phase in South Africa is Sustainability non merely among industries but besides among consumers more and more people are going more environmentally cognizant. and this leads to invention of packaging solutions for the hereafter. Another noteworthy thing that is mentioned on euromonitor. com is that there is more elaborate cleavage of international and locally produced merchandises are being applied. exciting our economic growing in the local intoxicant industry.
Harmonizing to ttb. gov the lone demands for the packaging of intoxicant in south Africa is that it should include the name of the merchandise where it was made and particular instructions and warnings and every bit far as the remainder of my research shows it is besides a demand to province on the merchandise that it is non for sale to individuals under the age of 18 accept for that there seems to be small restraints refering the packaging of intoxicant.
Packaging of merchandises that we produce in south Africa sometimes has to associate to international criterions due to the fact that we want to export our merchandises but when it comes to publicizing alcoholic drinks in south Africa there is a twosome of things I have to reference. Harmonizing to the Gauteng spirits policy advertisement intoxicant increases the sum of intoxicant consumed this is a hot argument at this current minute as there are people contending against the current Torahs ( Gauteng spirits policy. ( 2011 ) [ pdf ] .
This shows that the regulations sing advertizement of alcoholic drinks will increase with clip. maintaining that in head can be utile in the hereafter sing the selling programs that companies that produce alcoholic drinks set up for the hereafter. Harmonizing to an article – the cost of harmful intoxicant maltreatment in South-Africa ; harmful intoxicant usage is really high in south Africa and its stated that it is one of the chief hazard factors for hapless wellness in South-Africa ( hypertext transfer protocol: //www.
Ara. co. za ) The mark audience for alcoholic drinks is all people that are older than 18 due to jurisprudence limitations. the bulk of grownup do devour intoxicant and therefore the mark audience is rather large the income degree of the consumers of intoxicant is really diverse but when it comes to specialised merchandises like trade beer for case the market is much more directed at the upper category. where there is cheaper options for lower income categories.
The mark audience of intoxicant is dependent on the personality of the trade name due to the fact that consumers relate to trade names and do their picks harmonizing to how they would wish to portray themselves amongst other persons. Harmonizing to Craig Berman the people that drink the most are immature work forces and he besides states that work forces tend to imbibe more than adult female. this is why so manny of the bing companies straight target younger work forces.
( C. Berman 2012 chron. com ) Sports fans are besides a great mark for the intoxicant industry due to the fact that work forces and adult female enjoy imbibing whilst being entertained by featuring events. The intoxicant industry is known for advertisement by patronizing featuring events sport squads and so forth. and in some instances the fans of sponsored squads are merely as large fans of the intoxicant trade name that patrons their squad.
So in decision the Target audience for intoxicant is rather a broad group of persons but largely consists out of younger work forces aged between 18 and 49 and athleticss fans are besides a large hit. the ordinances in south africa refering he packaging is non excessively rigorous but one still has to follow to some regulations refering warnings and so forth. the market is really specific and really segmented into assorted mark audiences and in conclusion the biggest tendency in South-Africa's intoxicant industry is concentrating on sustainability.

You have to use sun block to save your skin from the ultraviolet radiations from the sun.
The organic skin care method is that in which the products that are being used by a person are made from some natural ingredients. In Korean skin care, we have to follow some Korean steps or traditions. Natural skin care is done by caring by some natural means. There are also some care treatments that are also involved in the skin care routine. All these methods are the cheap care methods that someone will count in his budget.
There are different cheap skin care methods that someone can use for the care of himself. The important thing that someone must have to keep in mind is that he should notice the skin type before applying any care routine (as the treatment is given according to the type of skin that someone has).
If your skin is normal, it does not make any issue as well as is not allergic to any product. There also may be a possibility that from some area your skin is oily and from the same area, it is dry. In this case, you'd better choose the products that will show the dual functionality.
Use can use the glycolic acid for the normal skin.
It may be a great way to remove the dirt particles from your skin.
It will also treat the dead skin cells.
You have to use some oil-free moisturizing lotion. It will help you to improve your complexion.
You have to use the cream that has alpha hydroxyl acid in it. It will help the unclog pores of your skin.
If your skin is normal, it does not make any issue as well as is not allergic to any product. There also may be a possibility that from some area your skin is oily and from the same area, it is dry. In this case, it is recommended to choose the products that will show the dual functionality.
For the deep cleansing, you'd better wash your face twice a day. You should use the cleanser that has salicylic acid in it. It will be beneficial.
For the oily skin, you don't need to moisturize your skin much more. You can use the oil-free lotion, and it will be beneficial.
You have to use a cream that will help to have firm skin.
If you want to get rid of any skin damage, try to use the cream that has ceramides. This will help you to get rid of wrinkles and the spots of your skin.
If your skin is dry, it is better to use the smoothing cleanser. You should choose the rich, creamy formula as well as use cleanser at night. And in the morning you just have to wash your face with the warm water.
You have to use much quantity of moisturizing lotion if your skin is dry.
Using the moisturizing lotion will help you to treat wrinkles and the spots of your skin.
For the perfect complexion, you have to add as moisture as you can.
All the age-related damages will be cured.
Start slowly with the night treatment because the cream that you are using may be the source of more dryness. So, in the beginning, start with less.
You'd better apply the cleansing before going to bed. Cleansing will help you to remove the oil, dirt and the makeup out of your face. If you do not remove such things before going to bed, there will be the negative effects on your skin. Thus, the first step is cleansing.
To maintain the pH level balance of the skin, toning is the most important step. The dead cells or other dirt particles should be removed by toning. This is often considered as the extension of the cleansing. By applying the tonner, you will prepare your skin for the further procedure of the skin care routine.
Moisturizing is the most important step in the skin care routine. It is suggested that if you apply the lotion in the upward direction, it will be helpful in fighting the effects of the gravity. And if you use it in such a way, it will increase the effect of your moisturizer.
These all are the effective ways of the skin care routine sticking to a budget. If someone wants to look healthy and wishes to have perfect glowing skin, he should follow all the above-mentioned steps.

Case Study: Ambassadors for Business
Ambassadors for Business
Bob Willbanks, President
Ambassadors for Business (AFB) was established as a non-profit organization in 2017, and one year later membership has surpassed 290. Bob Willbanks, along with GrowthZone software, have been with AFB right from the start!
AFB had challenges typical for a start-up non-profit. The top two features on their wish list for an AMS platform were a system that would support a member directory as well as a robust component to manage a wide variety of events from start to finish.
GrowthZone was the ideal AMS choice for AFB – offering operational simplicity and the capacity to manage everything from one platform. The association got off on the right foot with GrowthZone software tools, allowing them to streamline all of the components of membership management.
AFB staff can manage a full calendar of events with their GrowthZone powered website. Having a variety of registration options is perfect for the wide range of member programs. Members can register and pay for events online, saving everyone time before and after each event. The Lists/Committees module allows the staff to effectively notify members about events based on their location.
The GrowthZone solution has also helped with communication among the AFB staff. The many features of the Projects/Tasks module allow for effective project tracking. From events to social media management, and from onboarding new members to email communications, there are lots of tasks to keep an eye on. The AFB staff regularly uses the Project/Tasks module to ensure all projects are progressing as they should.
According to Willbanks: "GrowthZone has a robust selection of modules to select from based on your organization's needs. These modules help keep various elements of the business operations and member management on one platform, which streamlines many processes. This is valuable to start-up organizations and to those who are looking for an easier solution."

"I look forward to working with GrowthZone for years to come (never thought I would ever say that about an AMS)."
Chris Studebaker
CEO, REALTOR® Association of the Fox Valley
"We are a small staff, and the GrowthZone platform allows us to do more in less time, so now we can exceed the expectations of our chapters and individual members."
Association Management Consultant, American Subcontractors Association
"GrowthZone customer service is excellent. They were with us every step during the transition to a new payment processing system."
Angela Hubbard
Executive Director, NARI Metro DC
It makes keeping track of our membership and events a breeze! Everything is posted in real time, and it's so much easier than working from a spreadsheet! And it syncs with our website, giving users an easy way to find our members, events and job openings.

Malaco Records » Artists » Gospel » The Barnes Family
The Barnes Family is to Rocky Mount, North Carolina, what the Winans, Clark and Moss families are to Detroit and the Hawkins Family is to the Bay Area: a gospel music dynasty.
That dynasty started with the family patriarch, the Reverend F.C. Barnes (1929–2011). He founded Red Budd Holy Church in Rocky Mount in 1959 and infused his love of traditional gospel music and hymns into its services. Known for years through Red Budd's local radio broadcasts, Barnes became a popular recording artist in 1983 when he and assistant pastor, the Reverend Janice Brown, recorded the classic Rough Side of the Mountain. The song and album of the same title were released on the fledgling Atlanta International Records (AIR). The album is reported to have sold a half million copies in two years, putting AIR solidly on the map.
From the duo's first album for Consolating Sound in 1981 to its successive releases on AIR, it was clear that they benefited greatly by vocal and instrumental support from other Barnes family members. F.C.'s sons Luther, Samuel, Melvin and Tony could sing and play various instruments. His niece Deborah was a lead vocalist with the Red Budd Gospel Choir. Luther garnered particular interest because he was the director of the Red Budd Gospel Choir and lead vocalist for the Sunset Jubilaires, a quartet comprised of Barnes family members.
In 1999, AIR took full advantage of the collective musical talent at Red Budd by releasing a two-disc set called A Live Reunion. The 25-song project, recorded on CD and DVD at OIC Auditorium in Rocky Mount in March 1998, featured F.C. and Company (Deborah, Wanda and Lisa Barnes), Luther Barnes and the Sunset Jubilaires and the Red Budd Gospel Choir on fan favorites such as When It Rains, It Pours and Rough Side of the Mountain. The positive response that the project received inspired AIR to release a follow-up in 2008, The Barnes Family Reunion II. Also packaged as a two-CD collection with DVD accompaniment, the second collaboration featured more individual and collective contributions of F.C. (now a Bishop), Luther and the Sunset Jubilaires, Melvin and Martha Barnes, Deborah Barnes and Mark Greene and Family. It produced the Luther Barnes and Sunset Jubilaires single I'll Make It Someday. Old Revival Medley, led by Luther and Deborah, was a delightful nine-minute tour de force that represented the family's old-school church vibe at its finest.
After more than 30 years in the gospel music field, and even after the loss of family patriarchs Rev. F.C. and William "Man" Barnes, the Barnes Family shows no signs of slowing down, thus proving the adage that a family that sings together stays together.

More about Properties for Sale near the Benning Road Blue Line
There's an eclectic array of modestly priced properties near the Benning Metro Station. These include Craftsman-style bungalows, Colonials, mid-century Ramblers and Split-Levels, boxy brick townhouse duplexes and low-rise apartments that have converted to condominiums.
Prices in the area have recently ranged from the $100s to the mid-$400s. But this is also a part of DC that is in transition, and that includes a new rash of development. For example, a nine-story mixed use complex on Benning Road, designed by PGN Architects, will offer over 300 upscale condos for sale.
Benning is a traditional blue collar community north of Anacostia that dates all the way back to the late 1700s. But the bulk of residential development happened during a relatively compressed period, from the 1920s to the 1950s.
The neighborhood certainly hasn't enjoyed the same cache as trendier parts of DC. But spiking real estate values have expanded the allure of outlying communities and Benning is now enjoying a resurgence. Local improvements include plans for a multimillion dollar tennis center next-door to the Benning Stoddert Recreation Center.
