flydubai Celebrates 10 Years of Flying

flydubai marks 10 years of changing the way people travel at this year's Arabian Travel Market and launches website for passengers to share their memories
RELATED : Aviation's big impact on Dubai's economy
Dubai-based flydubai's participation at this year's Arabian Travel Market (ATM) coincided with the start of the celebrations for the carrier's 10th anniversary. The airline, which started operations on 01 June 2009, marked this occasion with the launch of a new website for passengers to share their memories.

Over the last decade, the airline has changed the way people travel. It enters a new chapter of its maturity cemented by steady growth, enhanced passenger experience and a renewed commitment to opening up previously underserved markets.
Ghaith Al Ghaith, flydubai's Chief Executive Officer, commented on the occasion: "flydubai has come a long way since its first flight in 2009. Our agility, our profound understanding of the evolving passenger needs and our commitment to open up previously underserved markets has enabled us to enhance our business model and product offering to become the airline we are today."
"We were established with a mandate to provide convenient, reliable and affordable travel services with the aim to remove barriers to travel, create free flows of trade and tourism and enhance connectivity between different cultures. We remain true to that mandate and today 71 of our destinations had no or very few direct airlinks from the UAE. Serving these markets enables a population of 1.5 billion the opportunity for more convenient travel, access to an international aviation hub as well as making their countries more accessible to the world," added Al Ghaith.
In celebration of ten years of flydubai, the airline has launched a dedicated website www.comeflydubaiwithus.com which provides a platform for all passengers to share their favourite flydubai travel memories. This website showcases the experiences that flydubai has enabled over the past ten years; whether it was passengers visiting friends and family, travelling for business or simply enjoying a well-earned holiday somewhere on the flydubai network. The airline is inviting all passengers who have travelled with flydubai to get involved and share their favourite memories. Those who participate will have the opportunity to win one of 10 pairs of return Economy Class tickets within the flydubai network.
"As we are celebrate our 10th anniversary this year, I would like to look back at some of our key achievements and acknowledge the hard work and efforts of our extremely committed and reliable team here at flydubai. The growth and success of our airline wouldn't have been possible without them," continued Al Ghaith.
Since commencing operations, flydubai has created a network of more than 90 destinations in 47 countries across Africa (12 points), Central Asia and the Caucasus (10 points), Europe (27 points), the GCC and the Middle East (26 points), and the Indian Subcontinent (18 points).
More than 70 million passengers have chosen to flydubai since it launched and there have been a number of milestones since its inception in 2009: from introducing Inflight entertainment to its fleet in 2010 to Business Class in 2013, placing three aircraft orders and most recently announced an extensive codeshare partnership with Emirates.
During ATM, flydubai hosted more than 500 travel agents from around its expanding network to thank them for their support over the years.

The Saint Andrew Chorale & Orchestra conclude their 54th season with two major works composed in England during the early 20th century. Vaughan Williams considered his "Sancta Civitas" (The Holy City) to be his favorite large choral work, written for double chorus, childrens chorus, soloists and a large orchestra, based on texts he selected from the book of Revelation. Originally conceived for performance on BBC radio, Benjamin Brittens "The World of the Spirit" for chorus, soloists, narrators, and orchestra is a piece of similarly large proportions, which was not heard in concert performance until 1998.

Jesus College was first founded in 1496 by John Alcock.
The college emblem of a cockerel came about because of the fact that it was founded by John Alcock and it resonates with the last part of his name.
However, the JCSU (Jesus College Student Union) have as recently as 2016 voted that a bronze statue of the cockerel in the college's possession, that was taken from Benin in 1897 (now modern day Nigeria) should be repatriated.
The buildings, located near to but not on the banks of, the River Cam, were originally a Benedictine Nunnery and it is thought that it was converted into a college because the nunnery had developed a reputation for promiscuity, which was diminishing its standing.
Though commonly known as Jesus College, the college's full name is "The College of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Saint John the Evangelist and the glorious Virgin Saint Radegund, near Cambridge". A bit of a mouthful and you can probably see why the full name is not often used.
The common name comes from the college's chapel, Jesus Chapel. Founded in the early 11th century, the chapel is the oldest Cambridge University building still in use.
Jesus College is often thought of as the most aesthetically pleasing of the colleges that Cambridge has to offer. The college consists of the old lodging of the prioress, which later became the Masters Lodge, the old chapel, the cloister and the nuns refectory that went on to become the College Hall. The entire college grounds are described as spacious and peaceful in character and the beauty of the place attracts many visitors year after year to stay in the accommodation available on the grounds.
Jesus College is well known for its beautiful grounds and is one of the few Cambridge Colleges which allow visitors to take a walk on its beautiful lawns during the summer term. Assets worth around £236,000,000 make it one of the wealthiest colleges in Cambridge, although not nearly as wealthy as Trinity college.
Jesus College is set back a little from the town centre, away from the river. As a result it receives fewer tourists than some of the other colleges, despite having beautiful grounds. Unlike many of Cambridge's other old colleges the grounds are very spacious. All but one of the courts are open on one side, which is very unusual amongst Cambridge colleges.
When founded the college consisted chiefly of buildings taken over from the nunnery: the chapel and cloisters; the nuns' refectory; and the prioress' house which became the Master's Lodge. Although the chapel has since been modified and reduced in scale, this set of buildings remains the core of the college and lends a monastic character which sets it apart from other colleges.
The entrance to the college is distinctive due to the walled passage leading to the gatehouse. The passage is known as the "Chimney" (from the French chemin). Unusually Jesus College permits anyone to walk on the lawns during summer term, with the exception of First Court, Cloister Court, and those which were burial grounds for the original nunnery.
First Court contains the famous Jesus Horse (a statue) of which the college is very protective. Any Jesus student caught riding the horse is sent down (expelled).
The college is commonly used for conference events and has all of the facilities one would expect to be available for such events such as wi-fi and presentation equipment. The setting provides an impressive backdrop to any corporate event with accommodation for guests. Many weddings have taken place there and there are 70 parking spaces available for guests. There are even summer school options available for children under the age of 16. Sports facilities include a fitness studio, squash court, croquet, football, tennis, cricket and snooker/pool.
Catering is provided for events and the college boasts locally sourced produced with seasonal menus. The college also boasts a wine cellar with a wide variety of quality wines available for guests. There are a number of venues to dine at within the college to suit a variety of events.
There are a total of 176 rooms available for guests. Room types include 42 single standard rooms. 80 single en suite rooms, 52 twin en suite rooms and two disabled rooms. Self catering facilities are available and all rooms have central heating and individual wash basins with single beds, desks, wardrobes and telephone facilities.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge are probably the college's most famous alumni.
British journalist Quentin Letts who currently works for the New Statesman.


Do you have a very busy life? Do you work so much that you do not have a lot of time to clean your home on a weekly basis? If this is the case, it would be in your best interests to hire a professional cleaning company. You should always take pride in the way your home looks. You might invite some guests to your home. You do not want your guests to see dirty carpets and tables with a lot of dust on them. Hiring a company to clean your home every week will prevent any embarrassment if you have people over to your home. Here are a few tips that you can use to locate the best cleaning company in your area.
1. You should always get several references from any cleaning company that you might hire.
It is important for you to determine the quality of cleaning that you will get if you hire a specific cleaning company. You can determine this by asking the company to provide you with a few references of previous customers. All of the most reputable companies will have no problem doing this. In fact, they should offer some references to you. You can talk to these people and get their opinions about the quality of cleaning they received. Cleaning companies that have many positive references should be considered.
2. Take a look at the site of the Better Business Bureau.
The BBB has plenty of cleaning companies listed on their site. They should have many to choose from in your area. The BBB has investigated all of the companies that they have profiled. They have given each of these companies a letter grade depending on the quality of service they provide and their reputation in the community. You should search for companies that offer house cleaning services Bethesda MD.
3. Make sure you contact several companies to compare their prices.
If you are planning a move, particularly if you are moving a long distance, there are a few things that you will need to know. You will want a trustworthy company handling your valuable belongings. Additionally, you will need to know that the movers are professionals and have been properly trained. What else should you check for when deciding on a company to move your household?
You can ask friends, family, co-workers, and others for recommendations. Do not rely solely on them. Check out the companies for yourself. Ask for references and check them. If they have a website, most of the time there will be a place for customers to review their services. Are there complaints filed against them at the Better Business Bureau? How long has the company been in business?
Select several from your recommendations and investigative work to consider. Once you have your list, contact them for estimates. While most movers will give you a general estimate based on the household size and where they are moving the items, this is not a true price. The company should send an estimator to your home to see exactly what will be moved. Moving out of the country is going to be significantly higher than moving from one state to another. One example of long distance moving companies NJ is Fast Moving Company.
Make sure the companies you are considering are licensed and insured. If not, look elsewhere. Moving companies are required to carry property damage as well as bodily injury insurance. The bodily injury amount should be at the least $750,000. Both of these issues are extremely important because some movers will advertise and bid on jobs without the proper licensing or insurance.

Budki Nadi (Punjabi: ਬੁਦਕੀ ਨਦੀ), sometimes called the Budki torrent, is a seasonal, monsoon-driven rivulet in the Indian state of Punjab.
 It begins in the Shivalik Hills of the lower Himalayas and flows in a southwest direction to eventually join the Sutlej River.

Sugh Rao stream
The Sugh Rao stream, also called the Sugh torrent, is another monsoonal rivulet that is a tributary of the Budki Nadi.

Budki superpassage
When the Sirhind Canal was constructed in 1882 to better spread the waters of the Sutlej, its path cut across that of the Budki Nadi. An elevated "superpassage" was built to ensure continued uninterrupted passage to the flood torrent of the Budki Nadi, which at this stage combines the waters of both the Budki Nadi and its Sugh Rao tributary torrent.

Q: Underscore's .defer() in Backbone Results in Error: Cannot call method 'apply' of undefined I'm using defer() in two places within the same Backbone View, to run two different functions.  However, both result in the error included below:
The Two Function Calls are located within the Render Function:
loadReferralCollection: function(collection) {
        console.log("hello")
},

loadRemixedCollection: function(collection) {
        console.log("hello")
},

render: function() {
        var self = this;
        if ( this.options.params !== undefined && this.options.params.referral !== undefined ){
              _( self.loadReferralCollection(self.model) ).defer();
        } else if ( this.options.params !== undefined && this.options.params.remix !== undefined ) {
              _( self.loadRemixedCollection(self.model) ).defer();
        }
}

The Full Error:
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot call method 'apply' of undefined underscore.js?body=1:621
(anonymous function)

A: defer() wants to defer a function call. So you have to pass a function:
Either:
_( function() { self.loadRemixedCollection(self.model); } ).defer();

Or
_( self.loadRemixedCollection ).defer(self.model);

Well, or
_.defer( function() { self.loadRemixedCollection(self.model); } )
_.defer( self.loadRemixedCollection, self.model )

LaptopMedia.com Highlights [Specs, Info, and Prices] HP Chromebook x360 11MK G3 - Pretty good for a sub-$300 device
From: Severin Kolakov 06 December 2022 / 07:00 | 0
If you want to spend as little as possible on a laptop, you can't go wrong with what we have here today. The HP Chromebook x360 11MK G3 brings a very compact design that paired well with ChromeOS and the ARM SoC that it has inside. For simple web browsing and writing emails, as well as doing some office work on the go, you really don't need anything more. ChromeOS has expanded to include play store apps, which are full of productivity offerings like photo editors, software for drawing and graphics, and much more.
Today we're giving you a quick overview of the HP Chromebook x360 11MK G3.
The HP Chromebook x360 11MK G3 is available now with a starting price of $289.99.

With such a low price, you can't really expect premium materials, however, that doesn't mean that the laptop should feel cheap or lack rigidity. As these Chromebooks are generally a bit thicker, with a profile of 20.8 mm and a weight of 1.42 kg, you should have an especially sturdy chassis, especially at 11.6 inches. The laptop has a black chassis with HP and Chromebook logos on the lid, while both it and the bottom panel have a rubberized finish.
The display selection consists of only one display option, with an 11.6-inch IPS panel with a resolution of 1366 x 768p. It's covered with Gorilla Glass 3 and has 220 nit of brightness, which is on the lower side, but it will be okay when indoors. It also covers 69% of the NTSC gamut, which translates to around 90% to 94% of the sRGB gamut, providing good colors when looking at all types of content.
For power, you rely on the ARM-based Mediatek MT8183, which houses an octa-core processor, with four performance cores and four efficiency cores. It was released all the way back in 2019, but it should still offer good performance for daily tasks, especially in ChromeOS. It uses the Mali-G72 graphics with three cores. It sounds underpowered, but remember that you'll be using the Chromebook for watching videos, and browsing the web, which doesn't especially warrant a lot of GPU horsepower.
In terms of the port selection, we have two USB ports, one Type-A,\ and One Type-C, both running at 2.0 speeds, an SD card reader, and a 3.5 mm audio jack. The power button and a volume rocker are also found on the sides.

Letter to the editor: It was a war in Korea, not just a mere 'conflict'
Published 2:35 am CDT, Thursday, August 4, 2016
On July 27, 1953, an armistice was signed ending the hostilities in Korea. The armistice ended the war that was to become known as The Forgotten War.
Why was the Korean War labeled the forgotten war? Maybe because it came too soon after World War II and the country was weary of warfare. One notable writer even referred to the war in Korea as World War 2.5. But I believe the main reason the Korean War has attained that forgotten status is because it is many times referred to as the Korean Conflict. In memorials and obituaries, it seems commonplace to refer to a Korean War veteran as a veteran of the Korean Conflict.
As a proud Korean War veteran, I take exception to the word "conflict" used in this manner. To me, it gives the impression that the war in Korea was something less than a war.
No other war in our country's history has been called a conflict. Certainly, no one would ever imagine calling our war of independence The Revolutionary Conflict or the war between the states as The Civil Conflict and World Conflict I and World Conflict II also would certainly not be acceptable.
The Korean War raged from June 25, 1950, until the armistice was signed on July 27, 1953. Our participation in Korea was greater than our participation in World War I and the casualties of both military and civilians were greater than those inflicted to date in the Gulf Wars that began in 1990.
In the three years of the Korean War, the casualties of South Koreans, North Koreans and Chinese — including military and civilians — totaled over 2,823,000. U. S. military deaths both hostile and non-hostile totaled 36,547. None of these figures include MIAs, wounded or casualties sustained to any of military or support groups from the 19 other United Nation countries that were there also.
I believe that on this 63rd anniversary of the end of the Korean War, these veterans deserve to have their war called a war, not a mere conflict.

They touch on the latest numbers out of the Labor Department released this morning and discuss the potential effects of the Republican tax bill on everyday Americans and big business. Kolhatkar and Davidson also talk about the process that the GOP tax bill has gone through and whether the House and the Senate can successfully reconcile their versions of the bill.


CD101 also known as V7 antigen, a member of the Ig superfamily. CD101 is a disulfide linked homodimer of unknown function. Expression of CD101 is found on monocytes, granulocytes and dendritic cells (Langerhan-like cells HLA-DR, CD1a, CD1c). In addition expression on T lymphocytes is important for cell activation. CD101+ CD28+ cells are very responsive to CD28 signaling. In combination with anti-CD28 or suboptimal levels of anti-CD3, anti-CD101 can increase proliferation thereby suggesting an activating role. The monoclonal antibody BB27 has been shown to inhibit the T cell reactivity in allogeneic and antigen-specific mixed DC-T cell cultures. Recently it has been demonstrated that mouse CD101 is found on a subpopulation of regulatory T cells (CD4, CD25, Foxp3 positive) that have high suppressor activity. Expression of CD101 on human PBMCs shows staining of about 30% of the Foxp3 positive cells. Studies have not confirmed higher suppressor activity in the human CD101 population.

This is how the Year of the Rabbit begins
22 January 2023 22 January 2023 / astrology
A powerful surge of energy greets the Chinese New Year, also known as the Year of the Rabbit. The Chinese calendar will begin on January 22, 2023, according to some publications that use China's time zone as a guide.
Chinese New Year 2023: Powerful energy boost from the planets
This Chinese New Year is getting off to a strong start, as several planets that were in retrograde phase begin to advance and turn direct just before the start of the annual Rabbit cycle. Another star also begins to advance shortly after the start of the Chinese year.
This indicates that there will be no retrograde planets at the beginning of the Year of the Rabbit; there will be a strong tendency to move forward in this new beginning.
New Moon in Aquarius
The New Moon in Aquarius at the beginning of the Chinese calendar year is significant because Pluto will pass almost exactly through this sign, giving the new annual cycle a unique and transformative influence.
Mars, the planet of action, will already be moving forward when the Year of the Rabbit begins; it stopped retrograding on January 12 last year and is now giving us its strength and impetus to begin the new things that await us.
Similarly, Mercury, the planet of thought and communication, will move forward again on Wednesday, January 18, giving the human collective the impetus and mobility to realize all that we have imagined in our minds.
Uranus, the planet that rules Aquarius, the sign in which this new cycle is born, will begin to move forward one day after the start of the Chinese year, after several months of retrograde motion. The impulse of Uranus will promote avant-garde and novel ideas, as well as the desire for renewal and change.
How to take advantage of the Year of the Rabbit element: Water and Lucky Energies.
The element of the Year of the Rabbit is water, which represents both our emotional strength and the power of the subconscious. This water will be very turbulent and will have large waves, so we will have to work to control it to produce positive results.
However, the auspicious energies generated by the Chinese sign of the Rabbit should be embraced with caution and foresight. It is a good year to work on developing our talents and personal growth.
With information from Pedro González Silva for the Zodiacal Thermometer.
Will be exciting as it marks the Year of the Water Rabbit. Chinese New Year is the most important holiday of the year for the Chinese and is a time for family and friends to gather and celebrate the start of a new year.
The Water Rabbit is the fourth of the twelve animals of the Chinese Zodiac. This animal is said to be gentle, kind, and compassionate. It is also known for being creative and intelligent, so it is a good time to embrace new ideas and innovations.
It is a good time to focus on our relationships and make the most of the time we spend with family and friends.
This is related to the water element, which is associated with wisdom, intuition, and emotional stability. It is a good time to reflect on our lives and how we can be better people and make a positive impact on the world.
Chinese New Year is a time for joy, celebration, and reflection. It is a good time to think about how we can use the qualities of the Water Rabbit to make a positive difference. We need to focus on our relationships, think about how we can help others, and take time for ourselves to relax and recharge our batteries.
The arrival of the Chinese New Year is a time of renewal and hope for a better future. It is a time to celebrate the beginning of a new year and the energy of the Water Rabbit. Let's make the most of the opportunities before us and create a bright and prosperous future.

Seize the (To)Day: Dead Poets Society and the core of mindfulness as intentionality
February 26, 2015 · by Alex Yiu, B.A., LL.B., LL.M., RYT 200 (Anahata Rising)	· in Uncategorized.	·
I'm currently reading Dr. John Kabat-Zinn's celebrated book on the topic of mindfulness called "Wherever You Go, There You Are". I noticed one of the first quotes in Kabat-Zinn's book is a reference to the work of the American poet, author and philosopher Henry David Thoreau, who writes:
Only that day dawns to which we are awake. – Henry David Thoreau, Walden
Immediately, this reference to Thoreau reminded me of Dead Poets Society, another one of my favourite films growing up. Literary references to Henry David Thoreau and Walt Whitman abound in this film. It was nominated for a 1998 Best Picture Oscar nominee, written by Tom Schulman and directed by Australian Peter Weir. It stars, among others, the incomparable late Robin Williams (who is sorely missed) as Professor John Keating, Robert Sean Leonard (former co-star of House) as Neil Perry and Ethan Hawke (recently of Boyhood and notably of Gattaca) as Todd Anderson.
In googling the film recently, I noticed many articles have been written about the film in a wide range of disciplines, including film studies, fine arts and the humanities. The purpose here is not to attempt a literary or academic analysis of the film.
When viewed through the lens of mindfulness, the question I pose is this: what can mindfulness show or teach us about the trajectory of the characters in Dead Poets Society?
Recall that mindfulness could be summarized in three words: intention, attention, and attitude. It is on the first of these components, intention, that I wish to focus my observations in this post. I suggest that mindfulness has something to say about both the importance of intentionality in the film and also the quality of that intentionality. (Note: the Oxford dictionary defines the word "intentionality" as the "fact of being deliberate or purposive").
As we shall see, through the lens of mindfulness, the quality of intentionality manifests very differently in each of the main characters I've mentioned above. In the case of Neil Perry, I suggest the quality of intentionality never completely manifests in the film, leading him down a destructive path of continual pain, resentment and ultimately tragedy.
In mindfulness, we are able see that it is not only the moment of awakening in each of these beloved characters to live in the here and now with intention; but, the fragility of the moment requires that the quality of their intention must be to live in the here and now authentically, unapologetically, and above all, courageously.
Dr. John Keating
When we are first introduced to Dr. John Keating in the opening scene of the film, he is himself introduced to the staff and students of the preparatory school for boys, Welton Academy (in 1960s New England). We learn Dr. Keating was a former graduate of the Academy who returns to teach the students English literature and poetry.
Dr. Keating's pedagogical approach is unconventional; he instructs his students in the first class to leave the classroom and follow him to a glass case in the hallway filled with awards and trophies. It is here where Dr. Keating introduces these young men to the Latin sentiment "carpe diem", or, "seize the day". He asks, and I'm paraphrasing here, "What will your contribution be"? Most of the students leave confused, but some, are left oddly inspired. In the next class, Dr. Keating instructs his pupils to tear out the first page of their text on American Poetry by Professor Pritchard, Ph.D. He will not have these impressionable young minds learning poetry by arithmetic formula as suggested in Pritchard's text. No, we learn in this scene that Dr. Keating's method is one of spontaneity, not predictability; passion, not complacency or conformity.
What we come to know quite early in the film is that Keating's manifestly emotive and impulsive approach to his teaching appears to be inspired by his participation in the Dead Poets Society during his time at Welton Academy. When asked by his student, Neil Perry, what is the Dead Poets Society, Keating responds that this was not just another club; it was a place where he and his fellow members "let poetry work its magic". He says they were "romantics" who laboured over such "biggies" as Whitman, Shelley and Thoreau. He tells him: "We let it drip from our tongues, like honey. Spirits soared, women swooned, and Gods were created." That night, Neil and several of his classmates venture at twilight into the woods to find the cave where the Dead Poets Society once held their meetings. It is here that the Society is re-born.
From this point onward in the film, Keating serves as a shepherd tending to his flock of awakened sheep. He attempts to secure in each of his students the belief that a life lived is not worth living if it is not lived passionately in the here and now. Nowhere do we see this more poignantly than in the trajectory of two of Keating's students: Neil Perry and Todd Anderson.
Neil Perry and Todd Anderson: two divergent trajectories in mindfulness
In the first moments we encounter Neil Perry, a popular senior at Welton Academy, we also encounter his father admonishing him for disobeying him in public. It is a relationship between father and son that is fraught with inequality, but also representative of the type of father-son relationships at that time. Neil does not come from a wealthy family; his father reminds him almost obsessively that Welton is a privilege he could never have imagined when he was a boy. Neil is submissive, passive, and sadly deferential and dispassionate each time we encounter him in the presence of his father.
Yet, through Dr. Keating's example, Neil begins to awaken to his true, passionate self. The Dead Poet's Society inspires Neil to pursue his true passion: acting. When Neil lands the role of Puck in A Midsummer Night's Dream, he is elated. He appears to be living in and for the present moment.
But, Neil cannot confide in his father that his true passion is acting. He is still bound to the chains of his past; he does not want to disappoint his father. In this way, Neil is unable to liberate himself from his thoughts of the past or future – a central focus in the practice of mindfulness.
Even Todd Anderson, the sophomore who becomes Neil's roommate and close friend in the film, is skeptical that Neil's father will not accept his newly chosen vocation. Neil attempts to avoid his father's rejection by forging a letter signed by his father agreeing to Neil's involvement in the play. In so doing, Neil demonstrates a total absence of mindfulness; the quality of his intention here is plainly inauthentic, indeed even fraudulent.
For a time, Neil's apparent transformation is infectious and spreads to his fellow classmates, particularly to Todd Anderson, the quiet sophomore who befriends Neil in his first few days at Welton and someone whom Todd looks up to as a person who leads by example.
For much of the film, Todd lives in the shadow of Neil Perry. Todd is shy, introverted, and anti-social when he first arrives at Welton. He may as well go through his time at Welton Academy unnoticed. But, Dr. Keating sees something in Todd. He singles him out to share his poetry with the world. Todd is petrified of public speaking. Keating knows this, but pushes him. He knows there is something inside of Todd that wants to get out. He tells Todd to ignore his peers; to close his eyes. With the inspired words of Walt Whitman, Todd unleashes his authentic "yawp" across the "rooftops of the world" in an inspired and spontaneous poetic response to the visage of Whitman himself.
His poetry is met with praise and applause from his classmates. For the first time it seems, in this moment, Todd is alive. Keating whispers to him: "Don't forget this."
I view this scene as a poignant representation of mindfulness-in-action. That is, what we see here is a deliberate act of self-liberation from one's thoughts of the past and the future. When Todd closed his eyes, shut out the world, he was faced with only what was – that is, the here and now.
Todd's awakening is far more subtle than Neil's; he continues to observe Neil's transformation with great curiosity, but from the sidelines.
Neil forges ahead with his plan to play the part of Puck, even after his father learns of his deceit and forbids him from having any involvement in the play. What is more, Neil deceives Dr. Keating. For his part, Keating had counselled Neil to reveal his true self to his father; that this was the only way forward. Instead of telling Keating that his father disapproved of his acting, Neil tells a lie to Keating – that his father would be out of town, but had changed his mind and would now let him act in the play.
The death of Neil Perry reminds us that the quality of one's intentionality must always be authentic in mindfulness
There can be no doubt that Neil's desire and talent for acting is genuine. He plays the role of Puck masterfully; his peers are beaming in the audience watching their friend live his dream; Dr. Keating watches his pupil proudly live his passion.
For Neil, however, the moment is fleeting. The practice of mindfulness teaches us this.
When Neil's father walks into the auditorium, Neil is, again, confronted with thoughts of his past and future. The audience hears Puck deliver his final soliloquy at the end of the play; but, for Neil, it is an apology to his father that he can only express through the voice of Puck:
If we shadows have offended,
Think but this, and all is mended,
That you have but slumber'd here
While these visions did appear.
And this weak and idle theme,
No more yielding but a dream,
Gentles, do not reprehend;
if you pardon, we will mend;
And, as I am an honest Puck
If we have unearned luck
Now to 'scape the serpent's tongue
We will make amends ere long;
So, goodnight unto you all.
Give me your hands, if we be friends,
And Robin shall restore amends.
In one of the last scenes, we watch as Neil succumbs tragically to his father's tyranny. He is unable to utter a single word of opposition or objection to his father; he is mute, silenced by his father's edict that he is to be enrolled in a military academy, and will become a doctor.
We watch Neil gently place Puck's crown on his head and open the window into the cold winter air, this being a poignant reference to Thoreau's beloved proclamation the he wished to live "deliberately in the woods", and not to arrive at death only to discover that he had not lived.
We then watch his father awakened by a sound, descend into his study where he discovers that his only son has shot himself in an act of suicide.
When Neil's death reaches Todd, he is inconsolable. It is as though he has lost his big brother, someone who had helped him as much as Keating to live his life with passion, conviction, and intention.
Similarly, Dr. Keating is overcome with grief as he reflects on Thoreau's proclamation.
An inquest unfolds into Neil's death. The schoolmaster is determined to see Dr. Keating ousted from Welton. He threatens each of the members of Dead Poets Society with expulsion and orders them to sign a statement affirming Dr. Keating's role as the cause of Neil's ultimate demise. Todd succumbs to the schoolmaster's threats.
We watch in silence as the status quo returns to Welton when Dr. Keating is terminated from Welton.
Yet, in the final scene, in the midst of this silence, we see Todd triumph in an authentic and deliberate act of mindfulness to honour the memory of Neil, and to affirm his admiration for Keating. He defies the schoolmaster, standing confidently on his desk, hailing Keating as "O' Captain my Captain" (a reference to Whitman) amidst a sea of his conforming peers. Then, one by one, we see Todd's classmates join him in their act of disobedience, defiance, and indeed, courage. This singular act is another poignant example of mindfulness in action.
In this final moment, the trajectories of Neil, Todd and Keating merge into each other.
It is my hope that each of us strives to walk down our journey of life in the here and now with authentic intention, purpose, and courage. We must all live deliberately in the fragility of the present moment, alive to our senses and surroundings, and in a way that liberates us from our thoughts of the past and the future. This is the lesson in mindfulness I humbly take away from this truly remarkable film.
As always, I welcome your thoughts and comments on this post.
I wish you all hope, love and happiness.

The aroma of garlic and ginger filled the air of our hostel kitchen as it sizzled in this stir-fry. By far better than any stir-fry we've had on the road in South America, this recipe is a go-to when we want something scrumptious for diner. We use quite a bit of ginger in this recipe, if you don't like ginger, you can omit it. Use more garlic in its place.
Combine all sauce ingredients in small dish and mix well. Set aside while you prepare the rest of the stir-fry.
1) Cook your rice while you prepare the vegetables and protein.
2) Cut beef into thin slices (as thin as possible) and place in dish with soy sauce and wine to marinate.
4) Heat pan on high heat and add 2 tablespoons of oil. Allow oil to heat up for 1-2 minutes.
5) Once oil is hot, add the protein, cook it till it's almost done. For beef this should only 1-2 minutes, for shrimp until they are pink about 1 minute. Remove protein from pan and place on a plate while you stir-fry the vegetables.
6) After removing the protein, allow pan to heat up again, and add more oil if necessary. Add vegetables and allow to cook for 2 minutes, until they are still crispy, but a bit tender.
8) Add protein to stir-fry and let all ingredients warm together for 1-2 minutes.
Serve immediately over rice! Enjoy!
- Separate vegetables by cooking times. Carrots will take the longest, followed by onions, then green peppers, etc. This will make for the best stir-fry. All the vegetables crisp, but still tender.
- If using broccoli, boil it for 2-3 minutes beforehand to cook it before stir-frying. If you have a microwave, put the broccoli and a tablespoon or two of water into a covered dish and microwave for 2 minutes.

Freedom Memoirs – Day 297
November 24, 2021 ~ mohingaamatters
Junta has never failed to come up with new barbaric activities everyday to keep igniting our hatred towards them. Last night, it was reported that 19-year-old Phone Myint Aung who was detained by junta soldiers on November 22 in Botahtaung Township, Yangon, died in the custody. His father, who was arrested on the same evening, was released but the son was killed during the interrogation. Today, his family planned to hold a funeral service and then to cremate the body at Yay Way Cemetery; however, fully armed soldiers showed up at the cemetery, banned to hold the service and forced to cremate the body quickly, Khit Thit Media reported. Sources told Khit Thit Media that the 19-year-old university student was well loved by the family and community. So many young lives have lost in this revolution, but junta and his followers do not show any remorse for their crimes.
Arbitrary arrests, which do not guarantee one's life, continue all over the country. In Kachin State, Bhamo Township, five civilians were detained by the junta soldiers last night. Prior to the arrests, regime solders conducted a search and opened fire. Locals told DVB News that soldiers barged into their homes, and accused innocent civilians for crimes they did not commit and then arrested. This morning around 8am, junta soldiers were also seen in Bhamo Town, stopping and searching cars and motorcycles.
Today, Myanmar Now media reported that a 7-year-old daughter of a detained journalist was taken and interrogated by the regime. The mother Htet Htet, a news editor with the Yangon-based Thingangyun Post, was abducted by the regime together with her colleague on September 11. Along with the mother, the young girl was taken to an interrogation center in Hlaing Tharyar Township. A source close to the family told Myanmar Now that the little girl was asked if her mother was seen purchasing guns during the interrogation, and she said her mother did not even buy toy guns. However, the police officers said that they found explosives in their home, and pressed charges under Section 5 of the Explosive Substances Act. The little girl was released after two days, but the mother and her colleague is now in Insein Prison.
Meanwhile, conflicts are raging in many part of the country. Last night on Sagaing-Myin Mu highway, regime forces were detonated with landmines by Myin Mu PDF, and the troops that came to clean the mines in the morning was also attacked by the combined force of Myin Mu PDF and Black Eagle Decence Force (Myin Mu). The incidents killed five junta soldiers, injured three, and destroyed one military truck. Myin Mu PDF announced that resistance fighters retreated without any casualty. Again in Myaing Township of Magway Region, a military convoy including oil tankers was dynamited with free-flight rockets and landmines by Myaing PDF this morning around 9am, killing three soldiers and injuring many. Since resistant fighters from Magway and Sagaing Regions are going stronger, the regime forces used heavy artillery to retaliate. Today, DVB News reported that more reinforcement was sent to Taze Town of Sagaing Region with military choppers. Local PDFs told DVB that about 500 regime troops preparing for offensive attacks.
Fightings in Karenni (Kayah) State haven't slowed down too. Yesterday alone, the regime forces and Karenni Nationalities Defense Force (KNDF) clashed for at least four times, Myanmar Now media reported. According to KNDF, two clashes took place in Daw Si Poe village in Demoso Township, one near Demoso Police Station and another in Loikaw Township, killing five regime soldiers and injuring five more. From the side of KNDF, one soldier was injured. Following up the raid and arrests of church clinic in Loikaw on Monday, Myanmar Now media reported that 18 detainees were taken to an interrogation center in Loikaw, but all of them were released yesterday around 6pm according to Karenni based Kantarawaddy Times.
Anti-regime forces, including strike committees, student leaders and democratic forces, gear up for one week long "National Day" campaign from 27 November to 4 December. The campaign is to commemorate the National Day which falls on November 28, as well as keeping the revolution spirit alive. During the campaign period, the public is encouraged not to associate with the military such as boycotting military products, MyTel phone cards, and public transport companies that with military ties. It is inevitable for many middle class to rely on the public transport service, owned by former dictator Ne Win's descendants, but blogger-turned-politician Nay Phone Latt requests the public to participate in this campaign for one week.
Latest news of the day comes from Thantlang Town of Chin State. Initial reports from Chindwin News Agency and Chin-based Zalen news stated that junta is torching residential areas in the town, and several houses are on fire as of now. It was merely a month ago when the regime soldiers did the tragic arson attack at Thantlang, and they are repeating the same crime again.

Month of Elul
Essays • 0 Comments
"Though summer still lingered and the day was bright and sunny, there was a change in the air. One smelled already the Elul-scent; a teshuvah-wind was blowing. Everyone grew more serious, more thoughtful…. All awaited the call of the shofar, the first blast that would announce the opening of the gates of the month of mercy."
So describes the previous Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn, the onset of the month of Elul in the shtetl of Lubavitch.
As the last month of the Jewish year, Elul is a time for sober review of the achievements and failings of the closing year; a month of trepidation on account of the approaching "Days of Awe" of Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur, when "all inhabitants of earth pass before the Divine Judge as a flock of sheep."[12] But Elul is also a gentle month, softened by the reconciliatory prophecies of the "Seven of Consolation"[13] and the vibes of divine compassion that linger from the time that Moses spent the whole of Elul on the summit of Mount Sinai procuring G-d's wholehearted forgiveness for Israel's first sin.[14] In a word, Elul is a time of teshuvah: a time of regret, forgiveness and reconciliation; a time of return to pristine beginnings to rediscover one's true self and the spark of G-dliness at the core of one's soul.
The First Resource
To keep body and soul together, the human being needs air, water, food, clothing, shelter—in that order. Without air, G-d forbid, a person would expire in a matter of minutes. He may survive a few days without water, a few weeks without food. The need for clothing and shelter are less immediately apparent, but without them man would ultimately succumb to an environment often hostile to his life and health.
Not incidentally, this order also describes the relative accessibility of these resources. Shelter is the most toilsome and expensive of human needs to acquire. Clothing less so, food yet less so, water even cheaper and more available. Finally, air, the most crucial resource of them all, is the most bountiful and the most effortless to attain.
Thus, the idioms "a change in the air," "Elul-scent," and "teshuvah-wind" in the above quote from Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak are not mere poetic figures of speech, but also express a truth about the month of Elul and the spirit ofteshuvah that pervades it. The effort to cut through life's accumulated debris of failings and inequities and touch base with the untarnished purity at the core of one's soul, is a round-the-year endeavor. But in the month of Elul, we enter into an atmosphere of teshuvah.
In Elul, teshuvah is not a factor of cataclysmic "moments of truth" or something to be extracted from the depths of the prayerbook. It is as plentiful and accessible as air: we need only breathe deeply to draw it into our lungs and send it coursing through our veins. And with Elul comes the realization that, like air, teshuvah is our most crucial resource, our very breath of spiritual life.

Mount girls celebrate GCSE excellence
- 3 September 2019 -
The Mount School York are once again celebrating GCSE excellence seeing some stunning achievements from a range of subjects and many girls have exceeded expectations.
Almost 40% of girls gained 5 or more GCSEs with grades of 7 and above. 82% of all grades were Level 5 and above. Amongst those celebrating today were Cecily O Neill, Hollie Thompson and Clare Treacher who all achieved at least 7 or more level 8/9 grades, the equivalent of an A/A*. Bebe Dyl, Charlotte Hemingway, Gracie Houston and Emily Tyson also achieved scores well above their predicted grades.
As expected, all pupils passed English Literature, Language and Maths, with many subjects in all areas of the curriculum.
Jackie Eccles, Head of Year 11, said, "I am delighted by the girl's academic success across all subjects. As well as giving 100% to their studies the girls also take part in a plethora of concerts, plays, sports fixtures and other activities. A well-rounded education at The Mount enables our girls to excel in all subjects and achieve outside the classroom in the knowledge that there are no limits."
Adrienne Richmond, Principal of The Mount commented, "Congratulations to all of the girls and staff who worked extremely hard to achieve these grades. Watching the girls open their results this morning was a very emotional experience. The sheer delight on all their faces showed the relief of all their hard work coming to fruition. I am extremely proud of the girls not just for their exam success but for the progress they have made both academically and socially. Their hard work and determination has seen them flourish. It has been a privilege for the Mount staff to see them develop in character and confidence over the years."
Today's results follow on from last week's excellent A Level results which saw over half of all girls gain A*/A grades. They will progress to a range of top universities studying a diverse selection of courses.
Pictured: Charlotte, Emily and Bebe celebrate their results; Clare celebrates five 9s.

Paradise Falls – The Inside Story of their COVID 19 Closure
Peter Christian
A week ago Friday, as the 'Catching the Big Ones' radio show on KGVO was just wrapping up at the host site of Paradise Falls, owner Tom McLaughlin learned that one of his wait staff had tested positive for COVID 19.
McLaughlin explained what happened to host Mark Ward early this Friday morning.
"We did get a call a little after 9:00 o'clock in the morning confirming that we had an employee that tested positive," said McLaughlin. "In talking with the health department, they wanted to know all the contacts as to who this person might have been close to and it came out to quite a few employees, and at that time we realized we had quite a mess here with all the employees that could have had close contact."
McLaughlin said he and his daughter Stacy (Nugent) knew they had to close the restaurant immediately and get to work determining how many people were affected.
"At that time, Stacy and I just kind of stared at each other and we said 'I think we'd better just shut the doors, take a breath and see what we've got'," he said. "So, it came down to about 16 employees that we whittled it down to that might be at higher risk of contracting it."
McLaughlin then advised all the customers in the restaurant that they had to shut down due to coronavirus.
Stacy Nugent said she immediately posted several message on Facebook to let the public know exactly what was going on at the restaurant.
"We knew that as soon as people walked out the doors there could be a firestorm of rumors, so we decided to be totally transparent," said Nugent. "We got things out. I kept social media updated with different posts throughout the day having contact with the health department. We then spent a good portion of time on Friday and Saturday answering questions about possible exposure. By the end of the day on Friday we were able to disclose small windows of time that the health department thought might have been the highest risk of exposure."
McLaughlin and Nugent confirmed that after a week of deep cleaning and retraining staff, the Casino will reopen on Monday morning, July 6 and the restaurant will reopen at 7:00 a.m. on Tuesday, July 7.
The Missoula City County Health Department praised McLaughlin and his staff at Paradise Falls for their transparency and cooperation after the positive case was reported.

Miller-Cory House Museum Garden Dedication
By MELINDA MUCHA
Credits: Miller-Cory House Museum Volunteers
In late 2016, the Miller-Cory House Museum, 614 Mountain Avenue in Westfield, received a surprising telephone call. Mr. Hal Struck and Ms. Sharon Sullivan, brother and sister from California, wished to arrange a tour during their visit to the east coast. Mr. Struck and Ms. Sullivan had discovered a very special connection to the museum through extensive research on their family tree. Samuel Miller and Sabra Clark, who built a farmhouse in 1740 which is now the Miller-Cory House Museum, were their 6th great grandparents!
Mr. Struck and Ms. Sullivan visited their ancestral home in 2017; their bond with the museum resulted in very generous donations from the Harold Struck Charitable Fund, which has supported a major project, the renovation of the colonial kitchen garden. The newly completed garden, with its bigger size, new picket fencing, and raised beds, has the authentic look of the 18th century, and will enhance the museum's educational programs.
On June 15, the new garden was officially dedicated. During the ceremony, numerous speakers emphasized the value of the museum, and its critical role in educating young generations, now and in the future, about our early American history. Guests enjoyed music provided by members of the Florian Schantz Jazz Band, open-hearth cooking demonstrations, museum tours, and, of course, a visit to the colonial kitchen garden. The dedication ceremony provided a special thank you to Mr. Struck, Ms. Sullivan and all of the volunteers of the Miller-Cory House Museum entrusted with its care and preservation.

John Lill is a British concert pianist who has scored important successes as a competition winner (sharing first prize in the 1970 Tchaikovsky International Competition), as a recitalist and soloist, and as a prolific recording artist.
Lill was born in London on March 17, 1944. He showed unusual talent on the piano as a child and at age nine gave his first concert. Two years later he enrolled at the Royal College of Music where he Read more studied until 1964. Even during his student years he gave several memorable concerts, including his 1963 London debut, where he performed the Beethoven Fifth Piano Concerto ("The Emperor") at Royal Festival Hall. Earlier that same year he turned in a highly praised performance of the Rachmaninov Third Piano Concerto under Adrian Boult.
Lill made frequent trips to Positano, Italy, during his early career to study with German pianist Wilhelm Kempff. In 1969 Lill made his Carnegie Hall debut and the following year scored his greatest triumph, finishing in a tie with Vladimir Krainev for first prize in piano at the Tchaikovsky International Competition in Moscow.
Thereafter, Lill's career ignited, the pianist performing regularly throughout the world, eventually traveling to more than 40 countries. He has played with many of Europe's finest orchestras, including the St. Petersburg and Berlin Philharmonic, and with such major American ensembles as the Cleveland and Philadelphia orchestras, the Boston Symphony, and New York Philharmonic. A similarly impressive roster of conductors could be mentioned. In 1975 British composer Malcolm Arnold paid tribute to Lill, composing his Fantasy on a Theme of John Field and dedicating it to the pianist.
Lill's accomplishments accrued quickly and were recognized in his homeland when he was awarded an Officer of the British Empire (OBE) in 1978. He was elevated a rank higher in 2005 when he was awarded a Commander of the British Empire (CBE). Lill has recorded for a variety of important labels, including EMI (complete Beethoven piano concertos), ASV (complete Prokofiev and Beethoven sonatas), Nimbus (the Rachmaninov concertos), Deutsche Grammophon, Chandos, and Conifer (Fantasy on a Theme of John Field).
There are 25 John Lill recordings available.
