Our brain can potentially memorize 2.5 petabytes of information, which is roughly the equivalent of 3 million hours of YouTube videos.
In order to use some of that staggering capacity a little more effectively when you learn, here are some tips that are based on widely accepted to research by neuroscientists and learning experts."Spaced Repetition".
To maximise your learning, study short but often.
Neuroscientist proved that synapses, the million billion connectors in your brain that make you remember and understand stuff, grow mainly at night when you are asleep.
This means that it is more productive to study regularly with sleeping breaks in between.
Practice something for 15 minutes every day and you'll be surprised by your progress within just weeks.
While listening to the history teacher, Tom scribbles images and Jane finishes 1 kilo of nuts.
Some enjoy watching videos over reading books, others study with friends and some like sitting in silence among a million books.
Sleep and dreams are vital to processing and storing new information.
A Harvard study showed that students who had a good night's sleep remembered their study materials 35% better than those who studied in the morning to take a test in the evening.
If you tend to procrastinate, which means that you tend to switch from doing something hard like studying maths to something easy like browsing the web, protect yourself from distraction.
One way of doing this is to shut down your mobile phone or go to a quiet place like a library.
Set a timer to 25 minutes when you focus entirely on your studies.
When the timer rings, relax for 5 minutes.
If you want to continue just set the timer again.
The small breaks in between are relaxing and motivating to keep going.
Do the things that are difficult first.
Because if you are like most people, you have the strongest willpower in the morning.
Once you are done with the hard stuff, you will feel better for the rest of the day and probably more motivated to get other things done.
There are few activities proven to grow your brain, however physical exercise, regular meditation and good conversations apparently do exactly that.
They lead to the creation of new neurons inside your brain and therefore grow its potential.
You can create deeper memories of a subject by learning in a richer environment that offers more visual clues.
In an experiment two groups of students had to remember random words.
One group changed the classroom while studying, the other didn't.
The group that studied in two different rooms (one was small and windowless, the other big and bright) was 40% more likely to recall the words later.
Whatever it is, find a fun way to practice.
Modern learning science believes that positive emotions are very important for increasing your learning potential.
So do yourself a favour and have a good time!
In order to remember things for a longer time, repeat the material in spaced intervals.
Facts or vocabularies for example are best learned if you review them the first time 1-2 days after the initial study and then again after 1 week and after 1 month.
If you have one hour to learn to recite a poem or prepare for a speech, spend 20 Minutes of the time on studying the text and 40 minutes on practicing to recite.
This ratio usually leads to the best results.
In the case of an emergency, put a glass of water next to you.
Take a sip whenever you lose it.
After you study finish up with a quick quiz.
Immediate recall in form of a test or a short summary on what you've just learned can increase retention by as much as 30%.
Because it's much harder for your brain to reflect than to read, that extra effort creates deeper traces in your memory.
You cannot force yourself to be motivated just like you can't tell someone else to be hungry.
So if you are not hungry right now, don't worry.

BHAGAVAD-GITA AS IT IS. An ongoing comparative, analytical study of Srila Prabhupada's original transcript (BGAII OT) and both the 1972Macmillan edition (BGAII V 1) and current "official version" (BGAII V 2).
Posted on November 27, 2021 by ajm108
My old friend Sundarananda Prabhu of Cairns, former ISKCON restaurant manager in Brisbane, wittingly forwarded this picture of Srila Prabhupada happily holding a Macmillan edition of the Bhagavad-gita As It Is. Do we need more visual proof of Srila Prabhupada's desires? NO we don't!
Just as ISKCON rejected the 1972 Macmillan edition of Srila Prabhupada's Bhagavad-gita As It Is for their own reasons, we have reasons to believe that the current "official version" does not meet the mark either and ought to be rejected as still representing, strictly speaking, a betrayal and misrepresentation of its author's, Srila Prabhupada's, true intentions. We estimate that the accuracy rate for both versions is not more than 33%.(thirty-three). They are corrupted versions. That does not mean however that we should stop using or distributing either version to the general public, as we are still giving the best we have. Neither is blind faith study recommended at any stage. And whatever has been achieved over the last fifty years, has been achieved on the basis of both versions. But we can do more and better. As BGAII V3, 5.26 itself states, it is a matter of constantly endeavoring for improvements: "Those who are freed from all material desires and anger, who are self-realized and constantly endeavoring for such perfection are assured of their liberation in the Supreme in the very near future."
Not only do we reject the current official version of Bhagavad-gita As It Is, but an attempt is made to propose a positive alternative. It is not very difficult and it is taking shape here:
https://krishnaculture.org/bhagavad-gita-as-it-is-version-3/
Please find below a non-exhaustive list of a few good reasons for such leaning:
Text 2.52
When your intelligence (in Krishna consciousness) will surpass the dense forest of illusion, at that time you shall become callous to all that has been heard and all that is to be heard.
Purport.
There are many good examples in the lives of great devotees of the Lord who became callous to the rituals of the Vedas simply by devotional service to the Lord. When a person factually understands Krsna and one's relationship with Krsna, naturally one becomes completely callous to the rituals of fruitive activities. It is said that an experienced Brahmin becomes callous to the rituals of fruitive activities. Sri Madhavendra Puri, a great devotee and Acharya in the line of the devotees says:
sandhya-vandana bhadram astu bhavato bhoh snana tubhyam namo
bho deva pitarash ca tarpana-vidhau nadham ksamah ksamyatam
yatra kvapi nisadya yadava-kulottamsasya kamsa-dvishah
smaram smaram agham harami tad alam manye kim anyena me
"O my prayers three times a day, all glories to you! O bathing, I offer my obeisances unto you! O demigods, O forefathers, please excuse me for my inability to offer you my respects! At any place where I may sit, I am now able to remember the great descendant of the Yadu dynasty, Krsna, the enemy of Kamsa and thus I can get myself freed from all sinful bondage. I think this is sufficient for me."
The Vedic rites and rituals are imperative for the beginner in human life, comprehending all kinds of prayer three times a day, taking bath early in the morning, offering respects to the forefathers, etc. But when one is fully in Krsna consciousness and is engaged in His transcendental loving service, one becomes callous to all these regulative principles because he has already reached the perfection of life. If one can reach the platform of understanding and serving the Supreme Lord Krsna, he no longer has any obligation to execute different types of penances and sacrifices recommended in the revealed scriptures. And correlatively, if one has not understood that the purpose of the Vedas is to reach Krsna and simply engages in the rituals, etc., then he is uselessly wasting time in such engagements. Such persons in Krishna consciouness transcend the limit of shabda-brahma, ot the range of the Vedas and Upanishads.
The original transcript (OT) can be found here:
https://bookchanges.com/bhagavad-gita-as-it-is-manuscript/
By examining the initiatives and actions of these two editors on Srila Prabhupada's BGAII-vani, we conclude that foolishness and arrogance go together. They are intertwined. Foolishness produces arrogance. Just like foolishness produces rascaldom. A fool is always a rascal and it is wiser to avoid his company. He is an irresponsible rascal, because he does not know what he is doing. But a rascal is not necessarily a fool. There are very many intelligent rascals and are alluded to in BGAII 7.15:" Being over taken by their atheistic nature, the miscreant, the grossly foolish, the lowest of mankind and those whose knowledge is nullified, do not surrender unto Me."
In this verse 2.52 of Bhagavad-gita As It Is, previous editors have systematically cut out the word "callous" not less than five times and we protest strongly against such unauthorized changes and corruption, which represent a betrayal of Srila Prabhupada, the original author. This is illegal! If Srila Prabhupada takes the trouble to use five times the same word "callous" in the same verse and purport, as is the case here, and the editors remove the same word five times, then it is an open and shut case. Srila Prabhupada is right and the editors are wrong. This is flagrant cheating and abuse of authority. They cheat Srila Prabhupada. They cheat the world and they cheat themselves. Srila Prabhupada's version, as above, ought to be restored ASAP.
In this verse 2.52, we sense Srila Prabhupada's nuanced and carefully considered style of expression. In this verse, we sense the majesty and greatness of Srila Prabhupada literary style. The following quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson applies:" I owed a magnificent day to the Bhagavad-Gita. It was the first of books. It was as if an empire spoke to us, nothing small or unworthy, but large, serene, consistent, the voice of an old intelligence which in another age and climate pondered and thus disposed of the same questions that exercise us." Hare Krishna.
Another typical instance of cheating and falsification is the introduction of "self" with a capital letter in BG 3.17, 6.20-23, 6.25, 6.26 in the current edition, BGAII V2. This is monism or advaita-vada, a non-Vaishnava philosophy. The self and the Superself are equal in quality- and even that statement is not one hundred percent true- and the self and the Superself are vastly different in quantity. The Superself is infinite and the individual self is infinitesimal. Therefore the convention is that the ordinary living entity's "self" is spelled with a small "s". Please beware, we are being confused and misled by Jayadvaita Swami, the second editor. His secret agenda is clouding things and confusing people. In other words he is a champion time waister. The suggested rendition for BG 3.17 is: "One who is, however, taking pleasure in the self on account of his self-realization of human life and is satisfied in the matter of the self only, fully satiated, for him, there is no duty." Jayadvaita goes as far as falsifying the word for word rendition to justify his actions. The Macmillan edition did not have these flaws. The current BGAII version 2 that was supposed to be more advanced is actually setting us back in these respects. In BG OT 4.5, purport, we note Srila Prabhupada's appropriate use of "Self" with a capital letter in "And because the Lord is identical with His body and Self…" because in this context it refers to the Superself, Krishna. But for the ordinary living entity "self' in lower case ought to be used. As his name jaya-advaita indicates, he is the champion of monism or advaita-vada, a black sheep.
Bhagavad-gita As It Is is not just some kind of a powerful shout-about in the ether of well articulated slogans. It is a lot more than that. It is a philosophical treatise of the highest order, therefore, every detail originally inserted by the author is important and ought to be handled and respected as such. In particular Srila Prabhupada's parentheses ought to be taken into consideration and reprinted as is the case above and for verses 3.1 and 3.13.
Some of Srila Prabhupada's well-placed keywords in the text, such as engineer (4.13), logician (2.27), time serving mentality (7.16 p.), imaginative brain (7.15), transcendental performances (7.19p), "modes" in "modes of devotional service" (9.14), " LAZY' in BGAII 10.7, purport, subversive (6.10) and "industrialists" 10.36 have unceremoniously been censored for no legitimate reason. This is in fact corruption! Another typical Prabhupada expression that the editors have almost systematically expunged is "persons with a poor fund of knowledge." In BG 3.29 the expression can still be found in the word for word: akritsna-vidah – persons with a poor fund of knowledge. But it has been dropped from the verse. (BG 9.4,p.)
Other words have simply been added without authority:
The word "bestial" of Bg 6.40, purport, cannot be found anywhere in the original transcript (OT). It is an editor's speculation and unauthorised addition. Please kick it out.
In Bg 4.1 the word "son" is suppressed twice. This may represent an expression of the anti-family sentiments and "callous" policies of ISKCON's immature renunciates leaders (Sannyasis). Here is what Srila Prabhupada intended: "The Personality of Godhead, Lord Sri Krishna, said: I instructed this imperishable science of the relationship with the Supreme to the sun-god of the name Vivasvan and Vivasvan instructed the same to his son Manu, the father of mankind, and Manu in his turn instructed the same to his son Iksvaku." Again, this ought to be corrected ASAP.
In BG 7.15, purport, both versions decline to credit the ashram bhavam asrita class of an "imaginative brain", as Srila Prabhupada does in the OT. Another misrepresentation of Srila Prabhupada! In OT 7.19 there is no mention of death (after many, many births ) and here again the editors seems to falsify the word for word to suit their purposes. Plain cheating!
Srila Prabhupada always uses "Brahmin" not "Brahmana." "Brahmin" sounds much better because of the presence of two different vowels "a" and "i" and is accepted by the dictionary as a variant spelling of "Brahman". No problem there. Because these words and expressions are Srila Prabhupada's very own, by making such unauthorized alterations, we are actually pushing Prabhupada out of His own rendition of Bhagavad-gita. This is an offensive form of "nirvisesa-vada" or impersonalism and must be avoided at all costs. We must be able to accept and present to the world Srila Prabhupada in full, as He is. Just like Sri Krishna Himself, Srila Prabhupada As He Is is most attractive!
The editors often paraphrase Srila Prabhupada where is it not at all required and a strict verbatim reproduction of Srila Prabhupada's transcendental message, with some minor composition adjustments, is thoroughly possible and enjoyable. We find this attitude positively offensive to Srila Prabhupada as it implies that the student thinks that he has now become much better than the master and does not hesitate to display his so-called superiority with ostentation. In the Vedic context, this is a suicidal mentality. In an attitude of submission to her husband, Dhritarashtra, Gandhari blindfolded herself because her husband was blind and thus amassed mystic powers that, by Krishna's trick, failed to protect her wicked son Duryodhana from having his spine broken by the club of Bhimasena on the battlefield of Kurukshetra. Srila Prabhupada is a true mover and shaker and what have the editors accomplished in comparison? Therefore we don't care for the editor's language. We care for Srila Prabhupada's language. Here is a telling example. In BGAII 8.9, purport, Srila Prabhupada speaks "This is a very troublesome job." This is a perfect Prabhupada sentence. But the editors with a typical offensive mentality felt the need to" better" the expression to "That is very difficult." Two words only out of six have been conserved! We may therefore say that both versions of BGAII have a 33.33 (thirty-three point thirty-three) percent accuracy when a hundred percent or very close can be achieved. In this way, the editors have the audacity to usurp Srila Prabhupada's position of world Acharya! Down with them! Srila Prabhupada is a most towering Acharya or teacher in the history of the world. So let us, therefore, stick to Him. Let us, therefore, stick to the Prabhupada mood and be successful in our attempts.
Here is an example of the literary diplomacy and lack of truthfulness of both editors in banning Srila Prabhupada's use of the word "LAZY"!
BGAII OT 10.7 purport: "These are some of the opulences of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. And when one is firmly convinced of these instructions, he accepts such instructions with great faith and without any doubt and certainly he becomes engaged in devotional service. All this particular knowledge is required for increasing one's interest in the loving devotional service of the Lord. Therefore in the ??? it is said ???. One should no be lazy in understanding fully how great Krishna is, for by knowing the greatness of Krishna, one will be able to be fixed in sincere devotional service of the Lord."
and BGAII V2 10.7 purport:"These are some of the opulences of the Supreme Lord. When one is firmly convinced of them, he accepts Krsna with great faith and without any doubt, and he engages in devotional service. All this particular knowledge is required in order to increase one's interest in the loving devotional service of the Lord. One should not neglect to understand fully how great Krsna is, for by knowing the greatness of Krsna one will be able to be fixed in sincere devotional service." The expression "the Supreme Personality of Godhead" was also dropped by Hayagriva, who does not like this expression anyway as he has demonstrated by inventing "the Blessed Lord" instead. And Jayadvaita has rubber stamped the change.
Here is another example of unnecessary paraphrasing Srila Prabhupada. In my view, this type of activity represents high treason and an outright slap into Srila Prabhupada's face. Good luck to you folks! You think you are sprinting to the goal, but the goal, Krishna, will remain ever unobtainable for individuals with such disrespectful mentality towards Guru. In her attempt to bind Krishna, even mother Yasoda found that her rope was always two inches too short, even though she was not at all disrespectful, but full of transcendental motherly love for her adopted son Krishna. The point being, despite our passionate and ignorant endeavors, Krishna only accepts to be bound when He is pleased with our endeavors and when He is pleased to do so. Krishna is not cheap. He is the Supreme Personality of Godhead
BGAII OT, 8.24: "When fire and light are mentioned herewith, it is to be understood that the presiding deity over fire and light is mentioned. Similarly, when day is mentioned, the presiding deity of the day is to be understood. When the fortnight of the moon is mentioned, it is to be understood that the deity of the moon is indicated."
BGAII V 2, 8.24: "When fire, light, day and the fortnight of the moon are mentioned, it is to be understood that over all of them there are various presiding deities who make arrangements for the passage of the soul."
BGAII V 1, 8.24: "When fire, light, day moon are mentioned, it is to be understood that over all of them there are various presiding deities who make arrangements for the passage of the soul."
Here in BGAII 9.2 purport, the editors expose their half-hearted commitment to the path of bhakti-yoga or Krishna consciousness.
In the original transcript, Srila Prabhupada speaks as follows (BGAII OT 9.2 p.): "The method itself is so nice and pure that by simply engaging in the process one becomes more and more pure."
With their magic sorcerers' wand the editors make it (BGAII V 2, 9.2 p.) "The method itself is so pure that by simply engaging in it one becomes pure." By cutting out the word and expression "nice" and "more and more pure" both editors tone down and decrease Srila Prabhupada's first-class presentation and preaching impact. It appears that they are acting as maya's agents to subvert Srila Prabhupada's preaching. Let us remember that they censored Srila Prabhupada's use of "subversive" in 6.10. Let us also remember that they sometimes espouse not only nirvisesa-vada (impersonalism) but also advaita-vada (monism) as previously demonstrated.
Moreover, in the Original Transcript (OT), Srila Prabhupada repeats the expression "Krishna Consciousness" over and over again. But in many cases, such as 2.52, 2.53, 2.68, 3.31, 4.10, 4.15, 4.22, 4.23, 4.41, 5.7 (2X), 5.11, 5,12 (2X), 5.18, 5.29 (2X), 6.10, 6.28, 6.29 (2X), 7.1, 7.30 and 3.18 purport, to give a few only, the editors have simply and shamelessly suppressed this wonderful expression. Krishna consciousness represents, in fact, the object of our samadhi, the basis of our lives, the very stuff everyone of us is made of, and not the least the name of The International Society for Krishna Consciousness or ISKCON, Srila Prabhupada has gloriously created on the 13th of July 1996, in New York City. Why is this so ??? This is both an affront to Srila Prabhupada and a great disservice to all those souls who are seriously interested in self-realization. I had previously noticed this anomaly and on March 25, 2018, had alreday written the article titled KRISHNA MISSING. ONE MILLION DOLLARS REWARD, which can be seen by scrolling down the home page. In OT 5.29 the expression "the person in Krishna consciousness" was obliterated with one single penstroke. I wonder if Krishna's body bled on the occasion, as in the story. It is done so manifestly that one can sense some envy here, envy of Krishna and envy of His bona fide representative, Srila Prabhupada.
Krishna consciousness is all we have and Krishna consciousness is all we are about. Srila Prabhupada wants to increase our Krishna consciousness and by removing the expression "Krishna consciousness" innumerable times, the editors automatically decrease the readers' Krishna consciousness. This is a deliberate and impudent affront to Srila Prabhupada – at best a foolish affront – and a great disservice to all fallen souls. This is all about sense gratification and we may challenge the editors and all those who support them and ask them whose senses are they trying to please by making such omnipresent, whimsical and fake alterations? Are they trying to please the public's senses? Are they trying to please their own senses? We know that neither Srila Prabhupada, nor Krishna will be pleased by such fake activities.
On the positive side one cannot but admire how perfectly Jayadvaita Swami has expressed verse 3.34: "There are principles to regulate attachment and aversion pertaining to the senses and their objects. One should not come under the control of such attachment and aversion, because they are stumbling blocks on the path of self-realization." From time to time Jayadvaita really has a streak of genius! But both editors have doubts. Here is the proof. In BGAII OT 8.14, purport, Srila Prabhupada writes: "There is no impediment for a pure devotee wherever he is." In BGAII V1 & V 2, the editors make it "There should be no impediments. He should be able to carry out his service anywhere and at any time." These are the statements of persons who have doubts. And why do they take the liberty to introduce their personal doubts into Srila Prabhupada's transcendental message and why is this tolerated?
In BGAII OT, 9.25, purport, Srila Prabhupada dictated: "Similarly, one can achieve the pitri planets by performing a specific yajna." Someone crossed out "achieve" and replaced it with "attain." This is a typical so-called improvement. What is the use of such work, one may ask? Such action is counterproductive, nonsensical, useless, futile, petty, ignorant, stupid, arrogant and a waste of time for all of us! You have no business with editorial work. Better be useful in Krishna's service and go and clean toilets. THE MOST AMAZING THING THOUGH IS THAT IT IS NOW OFFICIAL VERSION. This happens twice, in the first and third sentence of purport 9.25 When I look up my Apple Thesaurus, the first three equivalents for "achieve" are attain, reach and arrive at. The editor may then say: "So "attain" is a perfect equivalent. The parampara answer will be: "The acarya wrote "achieve" and we have no business to meddle." AND WHERE DOES THE ARROGANT AND INSULTINGLY DISCOURAGING FIRST PARAGRAPH OF PURPORT TO 9.26 COME FROM, MR. JAYADVAITA??? It is 24 lines long. It cannot be found in the Macmillan edition. So far I haven't found it in the OT. Where does it come from, please??? Dravida Prabhu tells me that it comes from the 1968 abridged edition. But upon further questioning, he remains silent.
And where does the first paragraph of BGAII 9.26, purport come from? Where does it come from?
MISLEADING DISTORTIONS AND FALSE STATEMENTS.
BGAII V 2, 4.5 p., "the best Vedic scholars do NOT understand Krishna" is a false statement, according to Srila Prabhupada, Who writes in OT :" Such eternal, blissful, all knowledge forms of the Lord are usually understood by the best Vedic scholars, but they are always manifest to pure, unalloyed devotees." The correct statement is found in the Macmillan edition. The same may apply to BG 1.43. and about who is sent to hell. And there is the false and intellectually twisted rendition of "nivrittim" in word for word of BGAII V2 16.7.
In BGAII V2, 6.2 Jayadvaita, in his fake ecstasy, trumpets that one can NEVER, NEVER, NEVER become a yogi. Hayagriva does not do so. Another setback! What a sanctimonious attitude and statement! Kick it out. Srila Prabhupada with much more humility simply says:" For without giving up the desire for sense gratification, no one becomes a yogi"
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
AND THEN THERE IS SEXISM and one case of sexism in reverse. At least on a dozen of occasions, Srila Prabhupada's use of "person" has been replaced with the word "man." Granted Srila Prabhupada uses "man" quite a bit, that is the judgement of the Acharya. Our position is to respect it. My suggestion is that as soon as the editors replace Srila Prabhupada's "person" with "man", it falls under the heading of sexism. The latest find is in BGAII 7.26, purport: OT's "millions and millions of people" becomes in both versions "millions and millions of men." That's sexist millions and millions of times! Don't you think we ought to revert to Srila Prabhupada's wisdom? From practical experience we find that Srila Prabhupada gave equal rights to men and women not only to join His movement but to stay comfortably and practice self-realization.
Sexism with a big "S" here in BGAII 9.3, purport, and falsification of the statement:
BGAII OT 9.3 p. "There are three divisions of such Krishna conscious persons. The first class Krishna conscious person, the second class Krishna conscious persons and the third class Krishna conscious person. Those who have no faith……….."
BGAII V1 & 2, 9.3 p."There are three divisions of Krsna-conscious men. In the third class are those who have no faith."
BGAII 10.27. Sexist Hayagriva and sexist Jayadvaita. Srila Prabhupada's "human beings" becomes "men." Does the king rule over men only? Are women automatically outlawed? What nonsense!
BGAII 10.37 p. TWICE 1)"Arjuna is the best among all human beings" becomes in both versions " Arjuna is the best of men" What kind of men? The hairy chest beating Neanderthal men indeed, a reflection of the editors! But Arjuna certainly does not belong to that class of men. He is the best of Aryans. 2) Srila Pabhupada associates "muni" and "person." Both editors associate "muni" and "men." Perhaps both editors are correct after all because the two words start with the same letter "m."(sacarstic mode)
Sexism in reverse. BGAII 10.38. In the verse Srila Prabhupada dictates: "…and of all wise men I am knowledge itself." Both editors give instead: " and of the wise I am wisdom." The "men" word has disappeared.
At last some FUNNY ANECDOTES to relax the atmosphere:
In purport of OT 6.17, the transcriber typed : Thakur Haridas would not even accept prasadam, and would not even sleep for a moment without finishing his daily routine work of chanting with his beads three hundred thousand rounds." Fortunately someone who was a bit of a lesser chantoholic crossed out "rounds" and added in handwriting the correct "names." Param vijayate Sri Krishna sankirtanam!
NOTE THIS: another memorable ERROR OF the transcriber at BG 9.30: "Devotional service is more or less a declaration of love with the illusory energy." Instead of "Devotional service is more or less a declaration of war against the illusory energy."
Attention all artistic persons, please beware of Krishna. Here in 10.18, the transcriber addresses Krishna as "the killer of the artistic person." Actually, I just realized this is meant to be "atheistic."(16.12.2021)
OT 10.26 "Brilliant tree" or banyan tree? What is it? Perhaps the "Indian tree."
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
MEMORABLE GAFFES BY HAYAGRIVA.
BGAII 10.27, purport, first sentence: " The devotee demigods and the demons (asuras) once took a sea journey. On the journey, nectar and poison were produced….." Did they book their journey with Flight Centre perhaps? And did they produce nectar and poison out of their lunch bags?
BGAII 10.34, purport. Poor elementary mathematics. Six equals seven.
In BGAII 10.35, purport, both versions blunder by dropping "transcendental." "Brahma is the initiator of this Gayatri mantra and it is transcendentally coming down in disciple succession." Hayagriva introduces the blunder and Jayadvaita rubber stamps the blunder. We get the impression that Jayadvaita in his haste to slam the job didn't really care a dam. On innumerable occasions, we also get the distinct impression that Jayadvaita needs to compact the text at all costs. Here is part of the purport 10.37:"Of all cheating processes, gambling is the best cheating process and therefore on accountof its supremacy among all cheating, gambling is also a representation of Krishna. This means that those who are deceitful, Krishna will be more deceitful to them. If Krishna should want to deceive any person, nobody can surpass Him in His greatness. Greatness is not one-sided, it must be all-sided." Jayadvaita write: "Of all cheating processes, gambling stands supreme and therefore represents Krsna. As the Supreme, Krsna can be more deceitful than any mere man. The unfortunate commentator who wants to cheat Krsna and the public by saying that there is something greater than Krsna is cheated by Krsna, and the commentator cannot understand Krsna after any length of time. If Krsna chooses to deceive a person, no one can surpass Him in His deceit. His greatness is not simply one-sided-it is all-sided." he freely adds a comments about the cheating commentator, which is nowhere to be found in the OT. We can only conclude that Jayavaita addresses himself as the "cheating commentator."
Ref. VedaBase => Bg 10.36
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
From BGAII 9.16 onwards Srila Prabhupada reminds us of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, Who is His grammar school used to explain everything in terms of Krishna, Krishna, Krishna to the point where his student left the school. Or later when he would simply roam around and mutter Krishna, Krishna, Krishna in His transcendental ecstasy. There is more to be said about this, but it requires some preparatory research in the Caitanya Caritamrita. This can also been seen in the wonderful, Indian made movies in two parts: Nimai of Nadia and Nilacala Mahaprabhu approved by Srila Prabhupada.
Srila Prabhupada, when I read Your Original Transcript of Bhagavad-gita As It Is, I am appreciating Your personality and its different multiple facets more and more and I am falling more and more in love with You. Here is the example of BGAII OT 9.18 purport. You write: "Therefore without Krishna's shelter, there is no existential platform." I just know that this is a phrase that only a true philosopher of the greatest classical tradition would write. So now from the 5 th day of November 2021 at 20 hours, I have irrefutable proof that You belong to that greatest and most illustrious philosophical tradition: Plato, Socrates, Sankaracarya, Ramanujacarya, Madhvacarya, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, Arthur Schopenhauer, Friedrich Nietzsche, Jean-Paul Sartre to name a few only. What an immense satisfaction to have a master of such caliber and if we were to restore these things in the official presentation of Your Bhagavad-gita As It Is, its success would increase exponentially. There is no doubt about it. In Your greatness and kindness, You have been so tolerant with your disciples' literary clumsiness. But that can come to an end now and Your true glories can be revealed to the entire world to their full extend.
Not only are these two editors trying to throw out Srila Prabhupada, the philosopher from his own Bhagavad-gita but they are as well attempting to throw out Prabhupada, the scientist: "Jñānaṁ vijñāna-sahitam. Jñāna, this knowledge, most confidential knowledge, it is not sentiment. Vijñāna-sahitam. It is science. Just like in scientific knowledge you must know theoretically and practically. Not only that, you simply know that so much oxygen, so much hydrogen produces water by mixing… That is theoretical. You have to make water by mixing these two chemicals—that is practical. So in the B.A.C. examination they take examination, test, theoretical and practical." 750417BG.Vrnd
In the two last sentences of 7.28, purport, two important half-sentences (and the greatest condition of sinful activity. Forgetfulness of one's constitutional position is the greatest violation of law) have been dropped, which cheapens things very much. OT 7.28 "The impersonalists do not know that to forget one's constitutional position as subordinate to the Supreme Lord is the greatest violation of God's law and the greatest condition of sinful activity. Forgetfulness of one's constitutional position is the greatest violation of law and unless one is reinstated in his own constitutional position, it is not possible to understand the Supreme Personality of Godhead or fully engage in His transcendental loving service with determination."
BGAII 8.11 is misrepresented in both versions. Here is Srila Prabhupada's OT: "Learned persons who utter Omkara and great sages in the renounced order enter into Brahman. Desiring such perfection of life, one practices the life of celibacy. I shall explain to you this process as the means for attaining salvation."
For BGAII 9.11 Jayadvaita miserably departs from Hayagriva's perfect OT rendition:
"Fools deride Me when I descend in the human form. They do not know My transcendental nature and My supreme dominion over all that be."
This example alone seals his fate as as untrustworthy speculators unfit to walk the path of the parampara system.
The mood of the current edition of Bhagavad-gita As It Is lacks deference and consistency. It lack respect because many capital letters used by Srila Prabhupada in the original transcript have been banned. Under the guise of using Sanskrit words, the editors avoid capitals. For example, Srila Prabhupada personally always capitalizes "Yajna" and the pronoun"who", when it refers to the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The same applies to the word "Acharya", or teacher.
It lacks consistency because Jayadvaita Svami made it a point to introduced a capital letter for "self" in 3.17. Why then is there no capital for "self" in 4.41 and elsewhere? We are talking about the same individual self. This again really looks like a cheap, farcical expedient on his part. Or is it that his secret and mischievous purpose and mission is the play with the readers' mind and confuse and mislead them? This is a dangerous game indeed.
Concisely and conclusively, Bhagavad-gita As It Is is NOT a first class presentation to Srila Prabhupada, who is very fond of first class work. We are being manipulated by imperfect editors. To be appointed as the custodian of Srila Prabhupada's literary legacy, does not grant one the right to alter whimsically the transcendental message. Doing so represents a breach of trust and is an indictable offense. We propose to re-baptize both versions as Bhagavad-gita As It Is NOT by Hayagriva, and Bhagavad-gita As It Is NOT by Jayadvaita
It is essential that both the message and the style of writing appeals to the widest possible audience, and because out of millions and billions, Srila Prabhupada was especially deputed by Sri Krishna to deliver His message, we postulate that the most universally appealing style of writing for this purpose will be Srila Prabhupada's own. Srila Prabhupada is a true mover and shaker and what have both editors accomplished in comparison? Therefore we don't care for the editors' language. We care for Srila Prabhupada's language. In this way, the editors have the audacity to usurp Srila Prabhupada's position! Down with them! Srila Prabhupada is a most towering Acharya or teacher in the history of the world. So let us, therefore, stick to Him. Let us, therefore, stick to the Prabhupada mood and be successful in our attemps. Om tat sat.

The Job : A Fox and O'Hare Novel
by Janet Evanovich and Lee Goldberg
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - He's a charming con man and she's a dedicated FBI agent, and they're about to drive each other crazy . . . again
The FBI had one demand when they secretly teamed up Special Agent Kate O'Hare with charming con man Nicolas Fox--bring down the world's most-wanted and untouchable felons. This time it's the brutal leader of a global drug-smuggling empire. The FBI doesn't know what their target looks like, where he is, or how to find him, but Nick Fox has a few tricks up his sleeve to roust this particular Knipschildt chocolate-loving drug lord.
From the streets of Nashville to the back alleys of Lisbon, from the rooftops of Istanbul to the middle of the Thames, Nick and Kate chase their mark. When they find themselves pitted against a psychopathic bodyguard and a Portuguese enforcer who gets advice from a pickled head, they decide it's time to enlist some special talent--talent like a machete-wielding Somali pirate, a self-absorbed actor, an Oscar-winning special effects artist, and Kate's father Jake, a retired Special Forces operative. Together they could help make this Fox and O'Hare's biggest win yet . . . if they survive.

Maybe I would make love, pleasure, truth, integrity and meditation my top priorities, without feeling guilty about it. I would find time to finish all the half-read books on my shelves. I would really let the past go to make room for more NOW!
There's so much energy that goes into maintaining this life, or in some cases just surviving it. And that mindset can make it challenging to celebrate anything. But what if you could celebrate all of it?
Even the messy bits, the painful bits, the 'god I hope no one saw that' bits?, what if it all was worthy of gratitude, praise, and recognition? What if everyday was an opportunity to experience some part of the unique being that you are? And no matter how simple or complex that looks…. it was more than enough. You are more than enough.
One of the things I love about Prince, aside from his musical genius… was his authentic expression! This was a man who was not afraid to wear high heels, lace, or tight purple pants, in fact he made those things look good! He was not afraid to go up against a major record label and demand artists' rights. He lived out loud, for all of us to see, and it was a gift. So I'm celebrating him, his legacy, and all of the beautiful music he's left us!
Each one of us has a gift to give through the expression of our authentic being. I feel grateful to offer work that has helped me and many others, find a way to shed obstacles that stand between us, and our ability to step into the fullness of who we are. Learning to embrace this life for all it has to offer, is a daily practice, one that I'm happy to do.
There is lots to celebrate about this life, including the offerings I have for you below. From Free Talks about Sacred Living, Art Parties, Festivals, and a workshop for women in June. I hope to connect with you through one of the events below, or in cyberspace. And until then….. let's celebrate this thing called life!

mo4ch:>'The Kissinger model': Trump set to expand Pompeo's powers to fill Bolton's shoes, say reports | Mo4ch News
Mo4ch News September 12, 2019 world
The White House may hand Secretary of State Mike Pompeo the additional role of national security adviser following John Bolton's departure, giving the ex-CIA director enormous power, insiders have warned.
Pompeo would continue to serve in his current position but would also assume Bolton's responsibilities, sources close to the discussion told CNN on Wednesday, adding that such a move could make Pompeo "too powerful for Trump's taste." The diplomat would become only the second person in US history to hold both posts simultaneously. The first, Henry Kissinger, wielded enormous power under Richard Nixon during the 1970s, shaping the foreign policy of that period.
Also on rt.com 'You're fired!' Trump cuts loose of his dog of war (by George Galloway)
Even if Pompeo is not permanently appointed to fill Bolton's shoes, he will assume the uber-hawk's duties on a temporary basis until a replacement is named, the source said, though initial reports from the White House on Tuesday claimed that Bolton's deputy, Charles Kupperman, would assume the role in the interim. Pompeo told reporters that he was not surprised by Bolton's dismissal, but would not elaborate.
Some other names that have been floated to fill the national security adviser role include Brian Hook, special representative for Iran and senior policy adviser to Pompeo; Steve Biegun, special envoy to North Korea; Richard Grenell, US ambassador to Germany; and Douglas Macgregor, a retired army colonel. Trump told reporters on Wednesday that he has "five people that want it very much… five people that I consider very highly qualified, good people."
While Trump claimed that he "disagreed strongly with many of [Bolton's] suggestions" after announcing his national security adviser's departure on Twitter, there is little indication that US foreign policy will be taking a more peaceful track in his absence.
Also on rt.com War and whiskers: Freshly-resigned John Bolton gets meme-roasting
Pompeo's office announced the activation of a mutual defense treaty with the Venezuelan opposition on Wednesday, appearing to clear the way for military intervention in that country. Like Bolton, Pompeo is a strident opponent of Iran and supporter of Israel, which bodes ill for those hoping for a decrease in tensions in the Middle East. However, Trump is reportedly considering meeting with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani at the UN later this month.

Archaeology Travel, Asia Minor, Hadrian, Pamphylia, Turkey
Hadrian goes to Attaleia – images from Hadrian's Gate at Antalya
April 20, 2013 June 16, 2019 followinghadrian
Antalya was founded as Attaleia by Attalus II, King of Pergamum, around 150 BC with the aim of establishing a naval base. It is possible that the town was an expansion of an older settlement or was built on top of a pre-existing one, as 2008 excavations suggest.
Statue of Attalus II, King of Pergamum, who founded Attaleia (now Antalya), the city was named after him.
In 133 BC, Attalus III, the last king of Pergamum, bequeathed all his possessions, including Attaleia, to the Romans. It is known that the city reached the peak of its prosperity as an important trade centre in the 2nd century AD and that it was enhanced with new monuments commemorating the visit of Hadrian in AD 130.
Hadrian's Gate.
Of the wall's entry gates, only one has survived to the present. The gate, erected to commemorate Hadrian's visit to Attaleia, has the typical appearance of a Roman triumphal arch with two colonnaded facades and three entry arches rising above four pylons.
The three passages are decorated with floral and rosette reliefs.
Architectural detail of the vaults decorated with floral and rosette reliefs.
For hundreds of years, Hadrian's Gate was encased in the Seljuk city walls, which might explain why it had remained undamaged. It was only uncovered in the 1950s when the walls collapsed. In the course of a successful restoration project carried out in 1959, certain architectural elements have come to light which indicate that the monument consisted of two levels. Two towers of different constructions were found, one on either side of the gate. The tower on the left front of the arch belongs to the Roman era, while that on the right, as indicated by its inscription, dates to Seljuk times.
Hadrian's gate, architectural detail.
The gate once had an honorary inscription in gold-plated bronze letters saluting the emperor. A dozen such gilded bronze letters were discovered at the foot of the gate. The upper inscription, on the second storey of Hadrian's gate (which is today totally missing) ran beneath the pedestal or plinth that originally supported a long vanished bronze statue of the Emperor Hadrian or a statue of a bronze chariot, typical of Roman Triumphal arches.
As important as the missing upper inscription letters and bronze statue, are the surviving lower series of bronze gilded letters, forming a second dedicatory inscription to the emperor Hadrian, naming the Emperor's adopted father.
These gilded bronze letters are to be found in private collections and museum depots; in Vienna where there are 9 letters, in Berlin where there are 2 letters, in London at the British Museum and at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford where the letters spelling "Trajan", the name of Hadrian's adopted father, are stored today. These bronze letters were taken by various European visitors from the mound of rubble beside Hadrian's Gate at the end of the 19th century.
Here are the letters currently exhibited at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford.
Hadrian, son of Trajan, gilded bronze letter from the gate of Hadrian at Antalya, Turkey, AD 130, Ashmolean Museum.
The letters spell "Traiano" in Greek, the language of the eastern Roman empire. This was part of Hadrian's name, marking him out as the adopted son and heir of the preceding emperor Trajan.

NOW ONLINE — Meditation — The Liberation of the Heart, Regional Sangha Retreat
Note: This retreat is now online only.
In the quest for happiness, we can be undermined by our own actions and habits as well as the demands of the world in which we live. Our idea of what happiness is may be manipulated by consumer culture and conditioned by the myth of the American dream. These forces tell us that happiness comes from things and achievements, and that everyone has access to these things and achievements if only they work hard enough. Though, in the struggle for success and even in the fruition of it, one realizes that happiness or fulfillment in this limited sense is fleeting; it is not long before dissatisfaction arises and happiness is again at some distant destination and enshrined in a new myth of fulfillment. The cycle continues.
The Buddha taught that true happiness did not come from things or achievements. Rather, true happiness is a liberation of the heart from the poisons of greed, hatred and delusion, and the way to true happiness is based in our inner world. This liberation begins with looking at how we are living our lives and perhaps making adjustments to live more skilfully and simply, and to let go of deceptive myths. We are then shown the way to go deeper with meditation — to sit until the mind stills and quiets, and the extraordinarily pleasing momentums of integration and transformative emotion arise.
Yet this stillness of the mind and clarity of the heart can at times seem hard to come by. What can be done? On this retreat we'll explore practical methods of working with our mind and heart to find a way to a more embodied and fulfilling meditation practice. Participants can expect an engaging yet relaxed schedule of meditation, meditation teaching and mentoring, peer support and lively discussion. We will also be introducing the practice of silence for periods of time during the retreat. On the final day of the retreat , we will explore the intersection of meditation practice and the complexities of daily life and social change. How is meditation a radical act that transforms our world? What effect does our practice of meditation have on those we share our lives with?
Now in its 13th year, this retreat was previously known as the Outlying Sanghas Retreat for the Portland, Boston, and New York sanghas exclusively. We now welcome all sangha members in the Northeast Region, including Aryaloka, Portsmouth, and Lubec, ME. Please join us in this annual celebration of Dharma-practice and sangha!

Donatella Francesca Versace () este un designer italian, cunoscută îndeosebi pentru legăturile cu casa de modă Versace, moștenită de la fratele mai mare, Gianni Versace. Donatella deține azi 20% din acțiunile Versace, este directorul de creație al casei și supervizează toate colecțiile couture.

Cea mai mică dintre copiii familiei Versace, născută în Reggio Calabria, Donatella a studiat design în Florența și plănuia o carieră în PR la casa de modă a lui Gianni, deja cunoscută în anii '80. Numai că fratele mai mare avea alte planuri pentru ea: o considera "muza și criticul său" și, după ce i-a dedicat parfumul Blonde, a numit-o director de creație al liniei Versus, gândită pentru publicul tânăr și parte din casa Versace.

Carieră
La mijlocul anilor 1970, Donatella și-a urmat fratele mai mare, Giovanni ("Gianni"), să urmeze designul tricotului în Florența, Italia. Ea plănuise să lucreze pentru fratele ei în departamentul de relații publice, dar era mai valoroasă pentru el ca "muză și critic", potrivit ei în timpul unui interviu acordat lui Vogue [7]. Prin apropierea de întreprinderile fratelui ei, ea a intrat în lumea modei. În anii 1980, Gianni a lansat un parfum dedicat ei, Blondă, și ia dat propria ei etichetă, Versus.

La 18 iulie 1998, la un an și la trei zile după moartea lui Gianni, Donatella Versace și-a montat primul spectacol de couture pentru atelierul Versace de la Hotelul Ritz Paris. Ea și-a construit pistele peste piscina hotelului, așa cum fratele ei făcuse în fiecare an, deși de această dată folosea sticlă pură. În prezent, ea supraveghează producția de duzină de colecții în fiecare an, deși în aceste zile este la fel de faimoasă pentru anturajul celebrităților sale și petrecerile ale căror oaspeți obișnuiți includ Sir Elton John, Liz Hurley, Catherine Zeta-Jones și Kate Moss. Chiar și Prințul Charles participă la petrecerile lui Donatella pentru celebrul și elita din Europa. [Citare necesare]

În curând sa dovedit a fi importantă pentru Versace PR și a răspândit numele în toată Europa și în majoritatea Statelor Unite. A pus Jennifer Lopez, Madonna, Courtney Love, Christina Aguilera, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Demi Moore și Lady Gaga cu respect în sectorul publicitar Versace, făcându-i pe ei și alte celebrități precum Beyoncé și Jan Jones personajele și imaginile de Versace. Popularitatea ei a crescut atunci când a proiectat Versace Green Dress, cunoscută și sub numele de "Jungle-Dress", purtată de Jennifer Lopez la Grammy. Compania a creat stațiunea Palazzo Versace pe coasta de aur a Australiei. Burj al-Arab, din Dubai, Emiratele Arabe Unite (EAU), are o colecție largă de mobilier Versace și lenjerie de pat în camerele sale scumpe și generoase.

Premii
În 2008, Donatella a primit premiul FGI Superstar [3]. Glamour ia numit-o pe Designer-ul de moda al anului 2012 și 2016 și Femeia Anului în 2010. [4] [5]

În 2010, activitatea de caritate a lui Donatella ia adus o nominalizare la Do Something With Style Award de la premiile VH1 Do Something Awards. Ea a fost nominalizată pentru furnizarea de obiecte de artă copiilor și pentru crearea unei pungi tote, a cărei încasări ar merge la Starlight și ONE Foundations. Premiile de premii, produse de VH1, au onorat oameni care fac bine și au fost alimentați [vagi] de Do Something, o organizație care urmărește să împuternicească, să sărbătorească și să inspire tinerii [9].

În 2017, Donatella a fost decorată cu premiul Fashion Icon of the Year la premiile The Fashion Awards din cadrul Consiliului britanic de modă [10]. Ea a devenit prima femeie care a fost desemnată ca Designer of the Year la Premiile 2018 GQ Men of the Year în Marea Britanie și în China. [11] [12] În același an, a primit premiul International CFDA și a fost onorat la premiile Green Carpet Awards pentru munca sa de sustenabilitate [13]. [14] În noiembrie 2018, Donatella a primit premiul Fashion Icon la GQ Awards Berlin [15].

Viața personală
Versace și fostul ei soț, modelul american Paul Beck au doi copii: fiica Allegra Versace Beck (născută la 30 iunie 1986) și fiul său Daniel Versace (născut în 1989). Cathy Horyn descrie vizitarea apartamentului din Milano în 1996: "A fost un loc luxos, camera de zi făcută în Versace, dar era și o casă frumoasă și feminină". Donatella era la acea vreme în droguri și un fumător greu. [16]

Fratele ei, Gianni Versace, a fost ucis pe 15 iulie 1997, în afara casei Casa Casuarina, cunoscută și sub numele de Versace Mansion, în Miami, Florida. În urma crimelor extrem de publicate și a urmăririi penale, cea mai mare parte a familiei Versace, inclusiv Donatella, s-a mutat temporar într-o stațiune privată izolată din Caraibe.

Fiica lui Donatella Allegra a moștenit 50% din întregul stoc al lui Versace după moartea lui Gianni [18]. Ea este patronul Fundației Elton John AIDS [19].

Ea a fost convinsă să-și vopsească părul blond la doar 11 ani de la Gianni, pentru că era un mare fan al cantaretei italiene Patty Pravo.

Summary of "High prevalence of Sarcocystis calchasi in racing pigeon flocks in Germany."
The apicomplexan parasite Sarcocystis calchasi (Coccidia: Eimeriorina: Sarcocystidae) is the causative agent of Pigeon Protozoal Encephalitis (PPE) and infects birds of the orders Columbiformes, Piciformes and Psittaciformes. Accipiter hawks (Aves: Accipitriformes) are the definitive hosts of this parasite. Infections of S. calchasi have been detected in Germany, the United States and Japan. However, the prevalence of the parasite in racing pigeon flocks has not yet been determined. Here, the first cross-sectional prevalence study to investigate S. calchasi in pigeon racing flocks was accomplished including 245 pigeon flocks across Germany. A total of 1,225 muscle biopsies, were taken between 2012 and 2016 and examined by semi-nested PCR for S. calchasi DNA targeting the ITS gene. Additionally, a questionnaire on construction of the aviary as well as management and health status of the flock was conducted. In 27.8% (95% C.I. = 22.3-33.8%) of the flocks, S. calchasi DNA was detected in at least one pigeon. Positive flocks were located in 15 out of 16 federal states. A significant increase of infected racing pigeons was seen in spring. Half-covered or open aviary constructions showed a trend of increase of the prevalence rate, while anti-coccidian treatment and acidified drinking water had no effects. The high prevalence and the geographical distribution of S. calchasi suggest a long-standing occurrence of the parasite in the German racing pigeon population. For pigeons presented with neurological signs or other symptoms possibly related to PPE, S. calchasi should be considered as a potential cause throughout Germany.

In this workAllardice, author of More Generals in Gray, and Hewitt, author of Port Hudson, Confederate Bastion on the Mississippi, do for Confederate colonels what Ezra Warner did for more senior officers in his classic Generals in Gray.
Confederate Colonels deals with men who held commissions a colonel in Confederate service who were not subsequently promoted to general. Naturally, given the greater number of men who have to be covered, each entry in Confederate Colonels is less extensive than those in Warner's work. Nevertheless, the editors have managed to cram an impressive amount of material into the nearly 1,600 entries, including outline biographical information, where known, an outline of each man's service, and frequently with anecdotes or other comments on them. Three appendices list men promoted to general, men holding state commissions, and some men of ambiguous status. The introduction provides a useful statistical analysis of the origins and social backgrounds of the men listed, and there is a very helpful section titled "Using the Register."

This resistance to joining the technology-driven world may now seem as dated as a piece from the Met's Ancient collection, given that 2011 marked the year the Met lifted its cell phone ban and redesigned its website for optimal viewing on smartphone screens. And in 2013, the Museum's first-ever Chief Digital Officer, Sree Sreenivasan, was brought on board to digitally transform the museum experience.
Sreenivasan understands firsthand the challenges of keeping pace with a rapidly evolving digital world, particularly at renowned institutions with such historical significance. At BRITE '15, Sreenivasan shared insights from digital, mobile and social lessons learned during his tenure with The Metropolitan Museum of Art. He explained that a consistent strategy across mobile and social media platforms, like the one employed by the Met, is pivotal to staying relevant and continuing to meet consumers' day-to-day desires in this age of constant change and innovation.
Though his title is Chief Digital Officer, Sreenivasan considers himself to be more of a "Chief Listening Officer," observing the varying interests and behaviors of the institution's 6 million museum attendees and the 30 million unique online visitors a year. "That's a lot of listening," quipped Sreenivasan.
One result of all that listening was a commitment to creating hashtags for each exhibition. No small feat, considering the Met currently houses over 2 million works of art. Sreenivasan credits the audience who tweeted their wishes for an intuitive way to share their museum experiences.
Sreenivasan notes that audiences are becoming increasingly "culturally curious," eager to glimpse the behind-the-scenes of installations. The Met answered this growing need by displaying online the restoration of one of its most coveted acquisitions, Everhard Jabach (1618–1695) and His Family, ca. 1660, by French artist Charles Le Brun.
Through the Met's social channels, fans and followers were able to view this typically veiled process from anywhere in the world. "Instead of working on it in secret for a year and then putting it out, we've already started blogging about it." Viewer comments have ranged from questions surrounding oil paint solvents to expressions of gratitude for the ability to witness art history in the making.
Slow to the digital game, perhaps, but well-conceived. Sreenivasan's digital strategy at The Metropolitan Museum of Art has allowed this nearly 150 year-old institution to remain a timeless cultural mainstay while continually reinventing how it delivers art to art enthusiasts, based on their desires as they express them, from their smartphones to the front steps of the Museum itself.
Recognizing this, luxury fashion brand Rebecca Minkoff, an early adopter of new technologies in retail, is leading the way in immersive experiences that touch upon all senses to resonate with these digital-savvy, affluent consumers. Speaking at the Center on Global Brand Leadership's BRITE '15 conference, Emily Culp, Rebecca Minkoff's SVP of eCommerce and Omni-Channel Marketing, discussed driving customer lifetime value by delivering multi-faceted experiences derived from technology, insights and organizational structure.
In 2014, Rebecca Minkoff launched its "Connected Stores" in New York and San Francisco. Culp explained that by leveraging beacon technology and RFID tags, Rebecca Minkoff offers consumers an even more personalized, integrated experience. "When [our customer] walks into the fitting room, it recognizes merchandise and gives recommendations on what to wear [the item] with." Interactive dressing room mirrors entice customers to browse video and content, order complimentary beverages, save merchandise options to their devices via the Rebecca Minkoff app, and check in-store and online inventory. Customers can even adjust fitting room lighting to reflect the setting in which they would don the outfit (i.e. "SoHo after dark").
Communication: sharing insights even when they may seem irrelevant to another team. "Maybe they can take it in a different way that another hasn't [considered]," explained Culp.
Culp stresses the importance of not employing technology for technology's sake. It should have a purpose. For Rebecca Minkoff, it's using technology to seamlessly deliver value to consumers, relieving pain-points and empowering them to make informed decisions while shopping in-store and on any device at any time, anywhere in the world.
Check out Emily Culp's talk at BRITE '15 to hear more on developing omni-channel innovations and experiences to drive long-term value.


The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development announced Wednesday it was making an investment that could allow thousands of children to leave foster care.
HUD awarded $30 million to public housing authorities across the U.S. that will work closely with local public welfare agencies to identify youth at risk of homelessness and families whose lack of housing is the primary reason their children are in foster care.
HUD expects this funding to make 3,000 vouchers available for families who are unable to secure affordable housing for their children or dependents.
The funding will be offered through HUD's Family Unification Program, which provides rental assistance to parents struggling to provide housing for their children.
The funding can also be used to provide housing for young adults who are ages 18 to 24 who have aged out of the foster care system. The vouchers will allow families to rent housing from a private landlord and pay 30% of their monthly adjusted gross income toward rent and utilities.
This funding will actually be a cheaper alternative to housing children in foster care, which costs more than $48,000 annually per family, according to NCHCW. The cost to keep a family together through housing vouchers, on the other hand, costs about $15,000 annually per family.
Supportive services for FUP families and youth are provided by agencies funded through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. A $20 million investment in FUP vouchers saves more than $134 million in foster care costs, according to NCHCW.

Ah, here we are again, dealing with a too high tolerance. This probably has to do with the fact that you've been smoking more than usual. Or it could just be that you haven't had a break from smoking weed for a while. The thing is that when our high tolerance starts getting too high, we start smoking more and more weed. Then one day we realize we're smoking twice as much as we used to.
So what now? You don't want to quit the herb, and that I understand. There are ways to combat a tolerance that has just become way too high. If you really commit to at least one of the following (very easy) ways to lower your tolerance again, you can be enjoying one hit in no time!
Dabs are made of highly concentrated forms of marijuana, meaning they have extremely high volumes of THC. When you smoke a dab, you are taking in a hit of THC all in one that you wouldn't otherwise get – not even from a bong! So, if you want to drop your too high tolerance a little, it's time to take a break from dabs. Just a couple of weeks is long enough so that the next dab will have you sweating.
Enjoying flowers for a while will help bring you back to the days where you just needed a joint to get high!
If you're smoking six or seven times throughout the day, it's time to cut that number down. In fact, you can cram all the same amount of weed into three smoking sessions, but decreasing the frequency increases the sensitivity. What you'll notice is that in those three sessions you will be getting extremely high. It also gives your brain more of a chance to sober up in the intervals, making the high more noticeable.
If you're really adamant that you want to keep smoking throughout the day, try to use just a little bit less in your joints, bongs or pipes. No need for king size papers anymore. You'll be surprised how much weed actually just gets wasted when you can't actually get any higher. So if the need is there to smoke, just roll a one paper instead of a two paper joint.
The same goes for pipes and bongs. If you have to, change the cone piece so that it is smaller and fits a smaller amount of weed in there.
Mixing your weed is another way to decrease your intake and in turn, lower your "too high tolerance". Of course, we don't advise mixing weed with tobacco because there are healthier options. There are lots of herbal mixtures that can be bought from head shops that are made for use with weed. Some of them encourage the effects of weed, too. That is another way to increase your high!
You can even make your own herbal mix if you happen to have some herbs in your garden that you know are smokeable. Some common herbs to mix with weed are coltsfoot, damiana, sage, lavender and rose petals! Beware that mixing definitely alters the flavour of your joints!
Believe it or not, exercising regularly and having a healthy lifestyle will keep you fresher. That means when you use weed, you will be much more sensitive to its intoxicating effects. Plus, if you're spending a lot of your time exercising and cooking delicious food, you won't have all that time to sit around smoking.
I can't stress enough how vital it is to the marijuana experience to maintain healthy habits in other aspects of life. It completely supports the benefits that marijuana wants to give to your body, and in return you keep your tolerance as low as possible. So drink lots of water, eat lots of fruit and exercise regularly!
This is the suggestion that no one wants to hear but it is the most effective one. Take a few weeks away from the herb and focus on relaxing in other ways. You can enjoy the feeling of sobriety for a little while, too. And I promise when it comes time to smoke that first joint, it will be as though you were smoking for the first time.
A lot of smokers decide to take tolerance breaks in the end because of how enjoyable it is to come back after that. So don't be afraid – life is just as great without weed! Enjoy a few weeks being sober and then you'll really enjoy being stoned after that!


The Messenger of Allaah ('alaihis salaatu was salaam) instructed us the we should search out his guidance and of the guidance of the rightly guided khulafaa and that we should hold onto that and hold onto it with our molar teeth*. The Arabs mean by this that if you are ardent upon something then you hold it firmly by the hand, if you are unable then hold onto it with your molar teeth - for something which is precious then this is its conduct – that it is to be held firmly by the hand, yet if it is feared for then the hands are aided by gripping it with the molar teeth so that it should not slip away from him.
So it is obligatory that the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allaah ('alaihi salaatu was salaam) be dear and invaluable with us. His guidance ('alaihi salaatu was salaam) is better than the world and what is contained within it – as well as being the most valuable thing in existence – it is his guidance ('alaihis salaatu was salaam) and his methodology and his white path and his clear white way upon which he left us. Its night is like its day, no one deviates from it except that he is destroyed. No one deviates from it except that he is destroyed – in any aspect from the aspects. Whether it is in 'Aqeedah – if one strays from the methodology of the Messenger then he is destroyed. In worship – if one strays from his guidance then he is destroyed. In politics – if one strays from his guidance ('alaihis salaatu was salaam) then he is destroyed. No one deviates from it except that he is destroyed.
So our Religion is complete and present. Nothing has been left in life except that the Religion of Allaah has a ruling for it – and a stance regarding it. So whosoever deviates from something from that after the truth has been made clear to him; then his path is one of destruction. Likewise if he turns away from the truth, whilst being able to distinguish between truth and falsehood and so turns down submitting to the truth or searching for the truth; then by Allaah he is indeed upon his path to destruction.
Many are there from the people that pretend not to see – and feign ignorance, whilst it could be that the truth is within the grasp of his hands. However; certain obstacles prevent him, from them is desires and from them is pride and from them is blind following and from them are numerous more things and many factors. The truth may be within the grasp of his hands, in front of his very eyes, yet he folds his hands behind his back and averts his eyes and so turns away from the truth. This is also one who has deviated from the truth, his path is one of destruction – and Allaah's refuge is sought.

Suspected of conspiracy to expel the principal, Chapel Hill faculty and staff prepare for (another) battle
The faculty and staff at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have just ended a fierce struggle to vote for Nikole Hannah-Jones's lifetime tenure, and they are resisting efforts to overthrow the campus principal.
At the emergency meeting of the faculty committee on Wednesday, faculty chair Mimi V. Chapman presented what she said was multi-source evidence to prove the push to remove Kevin M. Guskiewicz from the flagship's top position. Chapman said a source who did not want to be named contacted her. "They are shocked that the meeting they are attending is collecting the name of the interim prime minister."
"The main point of the meeting is not if this is the case; it is When That's the situation," Chapman said.
With the threat of leadership change pending, the council passed a resolution on Wednesday affirming its "confidence" in Guskiewicz and strongly opposed the "seriously destabilizing" prime minister.
Chapman was worried about what she heard. She said that she had contacted Guskiewicz and Dean Robert A. Blouin on Sunday. "By then, they had heard the same information from different but similarly located sources."
In recent weeks, Guskiewicz Involved in a dispute Hannah-Jones is a Pulitzer Prize winner and was hired as the Knight Chairman of Race and Investigative Journalism without a tenure.The protracted battle that forced the campus board to vote on her term ended last month Split vote on Hannah Jones, But she decided not to go to Chapel Hill.
In the public statement about Hannah Jones, Guskiewicz did a good job. Guskiewicz said he wanted Hannah-Jones to join the faculty Did not criticize the campus board Postpone voting on her term application. The appointment and term of Hannah-Jones was controversial, partly because she was the lead author of "Project 1619," a series of articles on American race and slavery. New York Times Magazine This caused an attack from conservatives.
In a statement provided chronicle On Wednesday, Guskiewicz said: "I focus on leading UNC-Chapel Hill, not on rumors. I am committed to working with our trustees and continuing to build strong partnerships to best serve North Carolina."
Chapman's sources told her that there are two possible interim prime minister candidates: Clayton Somers and John Hood. Summers is the Vice Chancellor of Public Affairs and University Secretary of Chapel Hill, and was the former chief of staff to Tim Moore, the Republican Speaker of the North Carolina House of Representatives. Hood is chairman of the John William Pope Foundation, a conservative think tank.
Hood, in an email chronicle, Said: "Professor Chapman's accusation made me completely unexpected."
Summers did not immediately respond to an email requesting comment on Wednesday.
Chapman cited further evidence that might overturn Guskiwitz, saying that she spoke with another faculty member who was "close to a specific trustee" on Wednesday, who heard directly from the trustee about the principal's "performance Will be evaluated in the next few days". (Chapman did not specify the identity of the faculty or trustee.)
Chapman believes that the campus board of directors held a meeting on Wednesday without a live meeting, and the new trustees publicly stated that they wanted extensive discussions on the term of office.
Chapman said: "According to my estimation, it is a lot of smoke, because there is no fire." "I firmly believe that this is not the time for our campus leadership to change."
Support crack
The legislature controlled by the North Carolina Republican Party appointed a council of the North Carolina system, which has the power to remove the principal on its own or on the recommendation of the system chairman. Policy ManualThe board will need to consult the Chapel Hill board, whose members are appointed by the system board and the legislature.
Peter Hans, chairman of the university system, said in a statement statement to News and Observers People should focus on the mission of the university instead of chasing conspiracy theories. (System officials did not provide further comment on Wednesday.)
Guskiewicz is the former dean of the College of Arts and Sciences on campus. After serving as the interim principal for 10 months, he was appointed as the permanent principal in December 2019.He was at the helm during Chapel Hill Efforts to resume face-to-face teaching failed Last fall semesterHis tenure also overlaps with the national racial reconciliation felt strongly in Chapel Hill.Controversy about one's fate Confederate Monument The words that once stood on campus continue to echo in Chapel Hill, and the crisis surrounding the black Hannah Jones has Heightened concerns about racial equality.
When the faculty committee deliberated its resolution, several professors expressed concern that if they expressed support for Guskiewicz out loud, it would conceal some professors' complex and negative feelings about their leadership, especially after the Hannah-Jones case. No one voted against the resolution, but about a dozen members abstained. The committee includes dozens of elected members from every school and its library on the campus.
The resolution recognizes that support for Guskiewicz is uneven, acknowledging that "the principal must make a decision that not everyone agrees to, and that there are differences among faculty and staff on the best course of action."
"Our prime minister is not perfect," Chapman said. "There are some things we might want to see or hear about him doing different things, but he is someone we know. Many of us have served him for many years, and he cannot take office at a more difficult time."

Q: Save button deletes previous data in firebase I am new to android studio and firebase. I am trying to save a list of people to firebase like this. Idea is that the logged in user should be able to save information about some people.

String userId = user.getCurrentUser().getUid();
databaseReference.child("users").child(userId).child("savedPersons").child("name").setValue(nameTxt);
databaseReference.child("users").child(userId).child("savedPersons").child("surname").setValue(surnameTxt);
databaseReference.child("users").child(userId).child("savedPersons").child("gender").setValue(genderTxt);
databaseReference.child("users").child(userId).child("savedPersons").child("ageTxt").setValue(ageTxt);

It does not surprise me that it deletes the previous saved person when i save another one but i don't know how to save all of them. I have this in my firebase but i need multiple saved users. How do i do it ?
Firebase screenshot

A: If you want to save multiple people in a list in the database, you'll want to call push:
String userId = user.getCurrentUser().getUid();
DatabaseReference newRef = databaseReference.child("users").child(userId).child("savedPersons").push(); //

newRef.child("name").setValue(nameTxt);
newRef.child("surname").setValue(surnameTxt);
newRef.child("gender").setValue(genderTxt);
newRef.child("ageTxt").setValue(ageTxt);

This will create a new child node under savedPersons each time you call push(). To learn more on this, see the Firebase documentation on appending data to a list.

Note that calling setValue for each property is wasteful, and may lead to unexpected behavior down the line. I recommend putting all values in a map, and then adding them all with one call to setValue:
Map<String, Object> values = new Map<>();
values.put("name", nameTxt);
values.put("surname", surnameTxt);
values.put("gender", genderTxt);
values.put("ageTxt", ageTxt);
newRef.setValue(values);
