NEW DELHI: In a relief to Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Lalu Prasad, the Supreme Court on Friday granted him bail in a fodder scam case.
Lalu Prasad was awarded five years' imprisonment by the special Ranchi court for his alleged involvement in the fodder scam.
There were 44 accused in the case and 37 of them have already been granted bail and bail application of six others is under consideration of the trial court.
The apex court has granted bail on the grounds of parity with others convicted in the case, CNN-IBN reported.
A bench headed by Chief Justice P Sathasivam granted bail after noting that several other similarly placed convicts have already been granted bail in the case.
The bench also comprising Justice Ranjan Gogoi, however, left it to the trial court to decide the bail bonds, sureties and other conditions to be imposed on the former Member of Parliament.
The RJD chief has challenged the Jharkhand High Court's 31 October interim order rejecting his plea for bail during the dependency of his appeal against the trial court order sentencing him to undergo an imprisonment of five years and a two fines totalling to Rs. 25 lakhs.
Faulting the high court order, Lalu Prasad's petition said that RK Rana who too was convicted for the same offence as he was and awarded five years rigorous imprisonment was granted bail six days before his bail plea was rejected.
The Central Bureau of Investigation, which is the prosecuting agency in the case, did not oppose Lalu Prasad's bail plea.
Pleading for bail, Lalu Prasad, who lost his membership of Parliament after being convicted in the case, submitted that of the 44 persons convicted along with him, 37 have been granted bail and no one's, except his bail plea has been rejected.
Senior advocate Ram Jethmalani, appearing for the politician, submitted Prasad has already spent 12 months behind bars, including two months of his five-year sentence, and sought bail, saying the Jharkhand High Court before which his appeal is pending will take at least seven to eight years to decide the case.
The RJD chief, another former Bihar chief minister Jagannath Mishra and 43 others were on 30th September convicted by a special CBI court in the fodder scam case involving fraudulent withdrawal of Rs.37.7 crore from Chaibasa treasury during the Lalu-led RJD regime.
The CBI court had pronounced varying prison terms for the convicted persons on 3rd October.

Instagram is adding private messaging. The Facebook-owned photo-sharing social network announced the new service called Instagram Direct at a press event in Manhattan.
"Sometimes you want to be able to share not with everyone but just with a specific group," says Instagram co-founder Kevin Systrom.
"Honestly, our guidance is to not accept (pictures) from people that you don't know," Systrom says.
As for the people who are on your list, you'll know that they've seen what you've sent when their own profile picture materializes with a checkmark. When they like the picture, the checkmark turns to a heart.
Send Photo And Video Messages To Friends! Instagram has announced the Instagram Direct messaging feature that would allow users to send text, video, and photo messages privately.
unlike its focus solely on photos and videos earlier.
How To Use Instagram Direct Messaging Feature? After editing a photo on your Instagram, you can share it with a maximum of 15 people.
The avatar of the recipient of the photo (if online) would light up in real time, showing the sender that he has liked/seen the message.
On the top right corner of your Instagram home screen, you will now see a fresh Inbox tab, using which you can check your recent messages. Photos and videos can be received only from people that you follow.
Instagram Direct will allow you to send an Instagram image or video to up to 15 people directly, after which point you'll be able to reply with just text, as a chat thread.
And, to stop your inbox being flooded with spam, you can only receive direct messages from people you already follow.
where you'll be able to allow or disallow them.
Apple iPad 5 and iPad mini 2 launched on Tuesday, October 22, in San Francisco.
This event is happning in San Francisco.
Time to be revealed at 10am pacific time (PCT), which means 6pm over here.
What's new for the iPads?
The iPad 5 is widely expected to sport a thinner and lighter design with an improved resolution camera.
It will use the same A7 chip that is utilized in the iPhone 5S.
The updated iPad mini 2 should see a retina display and will receive a spec upgrade also using the A7 chip.
Apple is slated to unveil its next-generation iPad 5 and iPad Mini 2 and the all new Macbook Pro line, along with the refreshed Mac operating system – the Mavericks OS X - at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, California.
The Cupertino company's press invitation for the keynote address states, "We still have a lot to cover."
However, despite the cryptic tag-line, the contents of today's event probably won't be all that surprising. With the launch being referred to by most of the tech media as "the Apple iPad event" it's a fairly safe bet to say that we can expect two new iPads: an iPad 5 and a second generation iPad mini 2.

Thunder Renamed In Honour Of Queensland Champion Dashing Corsair
The Brisbane Greyhound Racing Club and Racing Queensland today announced that the annual Thunder event, run as a lead up to the Winter Carnival staying events would be renamed as 'The Dashing Corsair' and be run over 600 metres to pay tribute to one of the best greyhounds to ever grace Albion Park.
The open heats will be run on Thursday night May 10, with the $16,000 final to be run alongside the RQ Young Guns and Dave Brett Memorial Maiden Final on May 17.
The move to 600 metres was made to provide a better platform for those greyhounds launching their winter staying campaigns, with the altered feature to progress into the 710 metre events, the $25,000 to the winner Garrard's Winter Chase on May 24 and 31 and then into the Group 1 UBET Gold Cup in early June.
Dashing Corsair is the record holder for number of wins at Albion Park, with 38 and finished with an amazing 57 wins from 124 starts, earning a touch over $455,000 in prizemoney.
'Harry' as he was affectionately known, still holds the Albion Park 710 metre track record, which stands at 41.44 seconds, set in May 2010 and to date remains the only greyhound to win both the National Sprint and Distance Championships, winning the 2009 National Sprint at Cannington in Western Australia and the 2011 National Distance at his home track Albion Park at his final start.
He was inducted into the Queensland Greyhound Racing Hall Of Fame in 2015.

During MBC's morning service on Sunday November 17th Mark Craig, Communications Director of BMS World Mission, preached a sermon that challenged the congregation to think about modern day slavery and the scars it creates. You can read Mark's text by clicking on this link but here Haddon Willmer takes that text and offers it as a platform for discussion.
1 If a sermon is worth listening to for 30 minutes, it is worth having a text afterwards so that we can reflect on it and talk about together. Agree?
2 Is this an example of a good sermon? How was it achieved? What is the craft?
3 Do you agree with Mark's description and analysis of modern slavery?
4 Christians have long had an idea, with deep biblical roots, that sin pervades all the human world, all our activities and motives and relations. Sometimes this is called fallenness which involves us all: Romans 3.23. No exceptions even for good Christians! Did Mark help us to see the present reality of these ideas in what he said about the building of the Commonwealth Stadia in India a few years ago and the work now on the stadia for the World Cup in Qatar?
6 If this is where and how we are, what can we do? 'Tears are not enough'. We can alter little bits of the world here and there, for a time, but the world goes on being what it is, fallen, doesn't it? Stop one evil and another springs up out of the entrepreneurial inventiveness of human hearts, minds and social systems. So does this sermon present us with a moral practical challenge we cannot meet and satisfy?
Mark said: 'We can end slavery in our lifetime if we choose to get involved. It is to the shame of the church that it still exists. And that's one of the deepest scars that runs across our Christian family worldwide – that we know about this, and yet will not do enough to stop it.' Agree?
7 But he also said: 'by his scars we are healed' – referring to Isaiah 53. That left me asking, Are we 'healed'? The world goes on being the same and we go on watching our football – are we to say this state of affairs is 'healed'? That is not quite the right word, is it?
9 Is there a difference between being healed by his wounds and being reminded of the reality of the world and of God so that we can live with God in the light? Is there a danger that we want the sermon and the service to end on a more than up-beat note, with a decisive resolution of all our problems and so we conflate being reminded with being healed? God's wounds keep us seeking for healing not claiming to have it now, when we don't.
Does Dietrich Bonhoeffer's witness help us live with this question and this call which lies deep in the mystery of God in Christ?
watch Him tormented by sin, weakness and death.
This may be an unsatisfying, unsettling ending, but is it not truthful? What can we say and do? Not 'I am healed'. Not 'we are healed'. But 'we follow Jesus, we stand by God in the hour of his grieving and….'?

Related Article: Between Romans 13 and Revelation 13 LINK
I. Understanding Romans 13:1-7 in Context.
There has been a controversy in the media sparked off by a comment made by the leader of the Christians for Peace and Harmony Malaysia (CPHM) who urged Christians "to submit to and obey the government and those God had put in authority." The leader added, "So don't look at the person, as long as he is in position, the Scripture teaches us to honour and respect authority."
Detractors protest that the comment is inappropriate as it takes a scriptural text out of context, to be used as a pretext for what is politically partisan. Indeed, many totalitarian states have caused much grief to the church when they sought to exploit this passage to justify their demand for unconditional submission from any Christian citizen who resists abusive authorities. We need therefore to emphasize that Paul's call for submission is circumscribed by certain presuppositions.
First, Paul is specifying general principles drawn from the Roman situation. He is not legislating for every conceivable situation or different forms of government a Christian could possibly face. In general, Paul is just reminding his readers that Christians have a duty to contribute to good social order and that the state, for all its shortcomings still embodies social order. As Leon Morris writes, "He is presenting the norm, laying down conditions for living in a state in normal times, not covering every eventuality."/1/
Second, it would be an anachronism to expect Paul to question openly the legitimacy of the Roman regime in the spirit of democracy whereby the electorate has the power to vote out any government that has become abusive and corrupt. It would also be a disastrous option for a Christian minority to initiate political resistance and rebellion against a powerful and ruthless tyranny.
Third, Paul's focus is on when the government is punishing evil doing "as an avenger who carries out God's wrath on the wrongdoer" (v 4). He is not addressing a state which is demanding that its citizens act against the law of God.
Fourth, the passage should be seen as a part of a larger unit of Pauline exhortation: (1) Believers are urged not to conform to the pattern of this world (Romans 12:2). (2) Paul writes that Christians should follow the command to love (Romans 13:8-10). This would mean that submission to the state is only a means to an end which is, the love of one's neighbors. (3) Paul stresses that the End Time is drawing near (Romans 13:11-14). The state, as such, is not a permanent institution. It will pass away to be replaced by the Kingdom of God.
II. Romans 13 is not the Last Word on the Christian Relationship with the State
That Romans 13 should not be seen as giving an exhaustive description of Paul's teaching on the state is clear from his understanding of the principalities and powers, the cosmic elements (arche, exousiai and stoicheia) in Colossians 1:15-17, 2:8-15; Galatians 4:1-11; and Ephesians 6:10-20. Paul refers to them as forces that have rebelled against their appointed positions in the cosmos./2/ They have taken control of and perverted social structures, be they racial or political institutions. They even operate through tyrants. The reality of the defeat of these chaotic forces is not immediately apparent since they are still capable of creating considerable havoc. However, Scripture assures us that such rebellious powers of chaos have been decisively defeated by the risen Christ who led them away in a public procession (Colossians 2:14ff). This brings to mind the parallel drawn by Oscar Cullman who describes how the final surrender of the Nazis came only much later on V-day even though their armies had already been defeated decisively on D-Day in Normandy.
As such, Christians should view the states and the powers behind them as operating within the orbit of Christ's present sovereign control and therefore, willy-nilly, they serve the purposes of the Lord of history (1 Corinthians 2:7-8). The Christian's submission to the state must always be viewed from the eschatological perspective. Paul expects the state to execute temporal justice and be a terror only to those of bad conduct. What he does not deal with in Romans 13 is a state that has strayed from its divine mandate. Paul is writing before Nero viciously persecuted the Christians in 64 AD. We should therefore not take Romans 13 to be Paul's last word on the subject of the Christian's relationship with the state.
The underlying eschatological perspective, however, should provide encouragement that will sustain Christian resistance to oppressive governments. It is granted that bad government is preferable to social anarchy. Even though these governments are corrupted by sin and evil, principalities and powers, they are nevertheless still under God's moral providence. More importantly, Christian effort to influence society is impelled by the awareness that even bad governments are still open to the influence of those who possess prophetic insight in their reading of the signs of the times.
III. The True Meaning of "Submission"
It should be stressed that Paul calls on believers to "submit" (hypotasso) rather than to "obey" (hypakouo) [to do what one is told to do] governing authorities. The word "submit" (hypotassesthai from hypotasso) which is used thirty times in the New Testament, is not to be reduced to the English equivalent of "obey."
While hypotassesthai includes the notion of obedience, the dominant thought, nonetheless, is that of an attitude of respect for the other person as Christ's representative. See, for example, Ephesians 5:21: "Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ."/3/ Appropriate conduct flows naturally from the recognition that the Christian as God's servant is placed below authority by God to do good deeds in society.
This posture of submission is may be expressed as a willingness to obey the government, but this should not be taken to require "an uncritical, blind obedience to the authority's every command as the final arbiter of what constitutes hypostassesthai in a particular situation is not civil authority but God."/4/ This understanding of hypostassesthai actually limits submission to respecting the authority of the state, obeying them only if such obedience does not conflict with God's law. Douglas Moo agrees that, "perhaps our submission to government is compatible with disobedience to government in certain exceptional circumstances. For heading the hierarchy of relations in which Christians find themselves is God; and all subordinate "submissions" must always be measured in relationship to our all- embracing submission to him." Moo weighs a fine balance between Christian submission (in general) and resistance (if the State's demands are contrary to God's commands).
The Christian submits to government by acknowledging this divinely ordained status of government and its consequent right to demand the believer's allegiance. In most cases, then, Christian submission to government will involve obeying what government tells the Christian to do. But government does not have absolute rights over the believer, for government, like every human institution, is subordinate to God himself. The ultimate claim of God, who stands at the peak of the hierarchy of relationships in which the Christian is placed, is always assumed. This means the Christian may continue to "submit" to a particular government (acknowledging their subordination to it in general) even as they, in obedience to a "higher" authority, refuse to do, in a given instance, what that government requires./5/
The Christian is aware that he lives always in a tension between two competing claims; indeed, in certain circumstances disobedience to the state may not only be a right but also a duty. Such an occasion is exemplified when the apostles declare that they ought to obey God rather than men (Acts 5:29).
IV. The State is only a Servant
Far from regarding the state as a divinely ordained institution that is beyond criticism, Paul assigns only limited validity of the state in God's ordering of society. The state "is God's servant for your good…For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God's wrath on the wrongdoer" (vv 4, 6).
Leon Morris elaborates, "In the Greek the word God's comes first for emphasis. The ruler is God's servant, no less. And servant reminds us that he is no more; he is not God even if some rulers have had very exalted views of themselves and their functions…However exalted he may be among people, the ruler is nothing more than a lowly servant before God…The ruler is God's servant to enable God's other servants to get on with the job of doing God's will. We should not overlook the point that the ruler is to act responsibly." /6/
The role of the state is not only to punish evil; it is also to promote and reward goodness. Unfortunately, the state is often more interested in punishing (to protect the self-interests of the authorities) than enforcing laws to uphold justice and fostering public virtues. While the Christian remains willing to pay taxes and to honor the government, he has a duty to urge to government to fulfil its God's appointed role and to step in to offset the failure of the government by rendering public service. Thus, Paul's counsel is to "Pay to all what is owed to them: taxes to whom taxes are owed, revenue to whom revenue is owed, respect to whom respect is owed, honor to whom honor is owed (v7).
Surely, Paul is here echoing Jesus' famous saying, "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's." (Mark 12:17). The significance of this allusion should not be missed. F.F. Bruce observes: "It is implied that the person to whom payment or repayment is made is the rightful owner or the recipient of whatever is paid or repaid; the action amounts to giving back to someone property to which he is entitled. Caesar, it is implied, is entitled to demand tribute; to pay tribute is to give back to him what is in any case is his./7/
We must not miss the a fortiori argument of Jesus: just as the coin is given to Caesar because it bears his image, likewise, each person who is made in the image of God ought to surrender his life back to God. Contrary to popular misconceptions, Jesus is advocating that we must not give to Caesar more than his due. Caesar's sovereignty is limited. We must not give to him that which belongs to God alone. Jesus thus rejects any totalitarian claim by the state especially when such claims infringed on the demands of God./8/
In short, Paul encourages Christians to give honor that is due to the state, but this does not comprise the whole duty of Christians to God and man. This passage is not talking about an all-inclusive obligation which Paul gives later in verses 8-10. It is a general exhortation about obligation to the state as God's appointed servants which is clearly limited by the context.
It would be a gross abuse of the meaning of Romans 13:1-7 to call for uncritical submission to the dictates of authoritarian governments, as the thrust of the of the apostolic writings (cf. 1Peter 2:1-17 and Revelation 13:1-18) is to emphasize that the state may legitimately command obedience only within the limits of the good purposes for which God has instituted.
Undoubtedly, such qualified allegiance to the state is often misunderstood as disloyalty, if not treason. Persecuted Christians throughout history provide ample evidence of this. For this reason, Paul strongly urges that persistent prayer and intercession be specially made for those in power so that Christians may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness (1 Timothy 2:lff; Titus 3:1ff).

O'Brien, Principalities and Powers in Biblical Interpretation and the Church (Paternoster 1986) and Clinton Arnold, Ephesians, Power and Magic (CUP 1989).
3. To submit is to recognize one's subordinate place in a hierarchy, to acknowledge as a general rule that certain people or institutions have "authority" over us. In addition to governing authorities (cf. also Tit. 3:1), Paul urges Christians to submit to their spiritual leaders (1 Cor. 16:16) and to "one another" (Eph. 5:21); and he calls on Christian slaves to submit to their masters (Tit. 2:9), Christian prophets to submit to other prophets (1 Cor. 14:32), and Christian wives to submit to their husbands (1 Cor. 14:34 [?]; Eph. 5:24; Col. 3:18; Tit. 2:5).

8. Alan Storkey's succinctly laid out Jesus' strategy: "It is like a game of chess, the small sacrifice and then the mate. The small coin goes to Caesar; but every Jew would have to acknowledge that since everything belongs to God (e.g., Psalm 24:1), everything else goes to God….In the middle of the Roman Empire's oppressive taxation system, Jesus requires that all issues of tax be laid before God and God's requirements of justice and help for the poor." See his Jesus and Politics: Confronting the Powers (Baker 2005), p. 226.

Thanks Kam Weng for writing such a timely response. I am in agreement and will pray as Paul had exhorted.
KC Ho says:
I was going to say well written but that would be a totally unworthy response. This is telling and teaching God's truth as it really is and this truth will set us free.

Misha Norland
Sue: Just before we get into homoeopathy itself, what led you into working as a homoeopath?
Misha: That's a question I'm asked frequently, and I never know quite where to begin. As a child I changed schools every two years with monotonous regularity, so I got to meet a lot of teachers some of whom inspired me. I imagined that one day I would myself found a school in which pupils would be encouraged to learn about life itself. Although my imagination was quickened by the study of natural sciences in which I gained 3 'A' levels, I knew I wasn't going to be a doctor because I didn't have Latin and Greek to get me into medical school. Being dyslexic, studying languages was difficult! I changed schools again and got some additional 'A' levels in English Literature, Economics and Philosophy and became very confused about what I wanted to do. I didn't want to go to university, so I went travelling instead for a year.
However, before I left to travel, I landed a job at the British Medical Council research centre annexed to Hammersmith Hospital. This involved killing a lot of rats. Basically, the institute had a zoo on the top floor. Scientists would bring rats and other animals, down to the middle floors, inject them with carcinogens, leave them to develop tumours, and then they descended to the basement – the Hell Realm – where they were irradiated by various high-energy particles. The rats would then be transported back to the middle floor again to be investigated.
I thought this was complete insanity. Doing hideous things to animals in the name of research stuck me as being deeply wrong. The essence of natural sciences is to look at various species or organisms in their own environment and watch how they interact with it and each other. So that's when I decided to go travelling. When I returned to the UK, I decided to work in the movie industry.
Sue: What was it that appealed to you about the movie industry?
Misha: I enjoy investigative projects, and of course a good feature film is all about investigation. It's investigating the psychology of the characters, and we know how powerful that is can be. I literally started as a cutting room assistant. I was ambitious and climbed up the ladder quickly. But I didn't have very much time for my young wife or my son. She didn't want children anyway and ended up leaving me and our son. So, I became both mum and dad to him. I knew I had to pick up the pieces of my life but when the film company suggested someone else could look after my son so I could continue my career, I said I couldn't do that. He'd already lost one parent. It would be terrible for him to lose both of them. Anyway, I loved him. This gave me time to stop and pitch an idea for a series on the New Age to the head of BBC documentaries. He wasn't very keen, but I persuaded him to let me write some treatments and found myself meeting really interesting people, which led me to homeopathy. That's when a light bulb turned on.
Sue: How exactly does homeopathy work?
Misha: It's based upon the principle that those symptoms of suffering a substance is capable of causing, it is also capable of curing. So, it's about switching polarity. We see this in nature all the time. Everything works in this way, and in the manifest world, polarities are to be found in everything. We are all familiar with the symbol of wholeness divided into Yin and Yang segments, so a useful way of imaging the way homeopathy works is by visualising one segment in the Yin/Yang diagram enlarging. It does so, in our metaphor, because the medicine/substance that causes suffering has been added to the suffering of the sick person whose symptoms it matches. Sooner or later the intensity becomes too great, the polarity switches, Yang becomes Yin, and cure manifests.
Sue: How did you become interested in homeopathy?
Misha: I understood that homeopathy was something that should work. I had not yet experienced it, but I could understand the principle. One of the people I was interviewing for the series had many diagrams on her walls. She said they represent thought forms and they had been drawn by John Damonte. She then suggested a book I could read by John Clark called The Dictionary of Materia Medica. I immediately went to Watkins Bookstore in Great Russel Street, to order it, but had to wait three months for it to arrive, to discovered that it was, in fact, three fat tomes – and I mean fat! They were full of highly specialist information and medical jargon, but I was blown away by what I was reading. If I hadn't had a previous interested in biology, medicine, and indeed philosophy I wouldn't have got into those books. But they were just right for me, and I was bitten by the homeopathy bug.
At the time, as a single parent, I was taking my son along to playgroups with other mums. This was before prophylaxis for childhood diseases in the form of vaccinations had been rolled out , and here I was studying homeopathy and learning that we could do something about treating as well as protecting these children. I had my subjects! And I discovered the healing power of homeopathy. Working with children is astonishing because you can see things changing within minutes in acute work, while in chronic cases, children strengthen from within in a miraculous way, they gain strength from within, as disease is literally vanquished. In essence, the understanding is that body/mind/spirit heals itself, but in order to do so specific blocks need to be cleared out of the way. These blocks are identified by the homeopath and described by the medicines that act according to the 'like cures like' principle.
Sue: Were you actually training as a homeopath at the time?
Misha: Not formally, because in those days there was nowhere to train. Homeopthy had been going out of fashion. Therefore, I went to evening classes once a month with John Damonte who 'miraculously' lived around the corner from my parents, so I could leave my son with them. It wasn't enough but at least it was a start. I was also reading Samuel Hanneman's Organon of Medicine about the principles of homeopathy, and other texts too that described the medicines alongside their therapeutic indications.
Sue: It sounds like homeopathy has been a kind of lost science, but it's coming back again.
Misha: Yes, but it wasn't a science until Hanneman made it so about 250 years ago. Before that the principle had been hinted at by Hippocrates who stated there were two pathways of healing – the way of Similars, and the way of Opposites. Basically, Big Farma goes on Opposites and homeopathy works with the application of the Law of Similars, otherwise stated as the principle of 'Like Cures Like.'
Sue: The word that comes to mind as you're talking is symbiotic. Is that how homoeopathy works?
Misha: Symbiotic is a very important concept because if we live symbiotically with each other and with other organisms on the planet, we will survive. However, if we work according to opposites and fight, we will perish. Apropos of the pandemic, we are treating the virus as an enemy, but in the long run, we will not survive if we pursued this. In my opinion, this is ill advised way to go.
Sue: What should we be doing?
Misha: I believe we should be looking at the larger picture, and asking, 'Who is this 'enemy' 'What is this virus good for?' Or we could ask, 'Does this virus have a message for us?' Or 'How can we cooperate with it.' We need to ask the most basic questions, as a child might ask, but can we hear what the pandemic is saying to us? Can we attune our ears to the virus' message?
Sue: Covid has been portrayed in the media as the enemy and so has death. How we can work together to reduce the levels of fear that people are carrying around because of this. These media messages are creating such paranoia. It really concerns me, but how do we deal with this?
Misha: I agree. It is the opposite of symbiosis, isn't it? With symbiosis we live together for our mutual benefit, and that includes living with viruses. There's no fear because we are not living in isolation or separateness.
Sue: I know modern medicine has got its place, but it seems to feed into this separatism rather than bringing things together in harmony or addressing what's really going on, which is what I understand homoeopathy does. Would addressing the Humours be the right language to use here?
Misha: Hanneman would not agree with that at all, and he's the founder of homeopathy. He says that when you speculate about an invisible interior (wherein lies the source of the disease) you get different pictures of what is going on depending on who's watching and interpreting. To be more reliable, he says, we need to look at the symptoms produced by the individual. Symptoms are the language of the person who is suffering, and healing happens by matching those symptoms with the symptoms that arise when a healthy person is made sick by a substance (medicine) administered to them. These are the iatrogenic symptoms created by the medicine, carefully compiled and understood so that their healing potential may be unleashed. Remember, like cures like, and what can cause harm can heal.
Sue: What a wonderful way to look at it! Can you say a bit more about this.
Misha: The first step is to understand the patient – or the 'sufferer.' The suffering person is suffering in a way that may enable a medical professional to make a diagnosis, but that's not very specific. Their suffering is actually expressed in a very specific, idiosyncratic, personal way, and it's that description we're after. Their story starts before birth. It starts with Mum and Dad and the twinkle in their eyes, the conception, the gestation and their birth, childhood, and eventually who they have become [as adults]. We need to understand how they experience their suffering within the context of who they are, their genetic inheritance, the larger context within which they find themselves as well as the details of their symptoms that will of course, include mental and emotional ones
Sue: What comes to me is that – similar to how the Swedish language has many words to describe different kinds of snow – homeopathy has lots of different ways or words to describe suffering?
Misha: Absolutely. Actually, the person who is suffering uses words to describe their state, and it is those words we listen to. But is not just about words, it's also in gestures – body gestures and hand gestures, and how these gestures describe a sensation. For example, let's take the sensation of feeling that you're in a narrow, cramped, tight space – you make a gesture to describe that. That's language as well. So, homeopathy reads languages on all sorts of levels, which are not necessarily verbal. Indeed, the non-verbal language is the deeper one and more closely attuned to the level of sensation which chimes readily with the natural world from which homeopathic medicines are taken.
The other half of homeopathic practice is knowing about the medicines and how things in nature are experienced by and through ourselves. For example, salt that we put on our food is a highly active medicinal substance. It delivers its message in bold capitals. It is the most common preservative we have – preservation and desiccation (removing the moisture from something) represent keynotes of its action. We need to know how salt suffers its saltiness through the human experience, and to do this we carry out experiments upon ourselves. We discover the main sphere of action is where long held and unexpressed grief has become the norm, a natural action of salt as in tears and as the preserver and desiccator (concentrator) of unhappy experiences.
Sue: This does take a big shift of understanding or a shift of acceptance.
Misha: Well, the most profound level through which information is experienced, is the non-physical one. Let's call it spiritual because, unlike the many Swedish words for snow, we don't have many words with which to describe the non-physical. Despite the lack of vocabulary, according to my understanding, everything has a spiritual dimension and is at the same time a physical manifestation of that spiritual dimension. Whether the arrow of causality, if you will, goes this way or that way, doesn't matter, because each are in symbiotic relationship, and co-emergent from the matrix of being. The question is, how can we get ourselves to experience salt at more than just the physical level? How can we also experience it on the spiritual dimension? And this is where we lose the general public who can theoretically understand the concept of cures, but experience a mental block when it comes to understanding how they happen.
Sue: How do you make homeopathic medicine?
Misha: When we make a medicine, we potentise it. That's a physical process of repeated dilution and agitation, which results in a separation of the spiritual from the material, so that information at the spiritual level can be readily absorbed and experienced by the organism, especially the sick organism that has (because of its sickness) become electively sensitive to it.
Sue: I think the reason why the public struggle with this is because we have kind of dumped the spiritual side of who we are. We have become so left brained that it's difficult to accept there are invisible realms which are potent, very alive and connecting. I see this separation as a source of intense existential suffering for many of us which other cultures such as Buddhists and indigenous people don't seem to experience so much.
Misha: No, they don't. And, to take a subject so close to your heart, they have no fear of their personal death.
Sue: How can homeopathy help us with a fear of death?
Misha: Chronic disease is characterised as a state in which we have become relatively unresponsive to the ever-changing circumstances of the present. This occurs when we have become chronically stuck in the past. Our past experiences have shaped us, or more accurately, they have drawn us out of shape. We hold this misshapen shape in our consciousness (both in mind and body) as a memory of who we are. This shape, and those memories travel with us, because we have become identified with them. However, if we step into the present, these shapes/memories/identifications disappear, because when we're in the present, ipso facto the past and all attachments are no longer there. But in sickness we adhere to the past and we believe it is who we are. It's the compound of the experiences we had in the past that we cling to and associate ourselves with. This constitutes our ego, our self image, our identity and our disease.
Sue: What does a remedy do to our past?
Misha: It liquidates the hold that the past has on us! And it's done on the basis of like cures like. For example, the more powerful one in the 'now' encounters the less powerful one in the past and obliterates it for a longer or shorter period of time.
Sue:. I'm curious about cancer, especially stage four cancer when people have done everything they can to do to cure themselves. How can homoeopathy help with that?
Misha: If the sufferer has a good vital response and is interacting with their surroundings, they can be helped. But some people with stage four have gone past that threshold, and then it's about accepting they are going to go. For those who are still fighting, the best way for us to help them is to find the remedy they have always needed. It will be located in their past. For example, it could be an obsessional thought and emotional response they have always had, that has gradually somatised over many years
Let me give a personal example, my parents came as refugees to the UK due to the Holocaust. So, imagine the thoughts, 'We are in danger' 'It's not safe.' 'People we thought of as our friends betray us.' That's the kind of internal script which a remedy can help to release.
Sue: It's so powerful, isn't it? Homoeopathy or even holistic medicine is much more yielding, much more subtle than modern medicine.I can see how it works because, for me, the natural world has so many energetic levels to it, and so do we. We've forgotten that connection.
Misha: Truly, truly true. I'm reminded of when we moved to this village a few years ago. I went to a talk in the local hall for gardeners, but the speaker forgot to come. So, I suggested I could give a talk about homeopathy instead. Rather than talk about remedies, I told them I wanted to speak about the world that can't be seen and the power of the unseen. For example, what happens when you are in the presence of Winston Churchill when he gives one of those wonderful speeches, or we react to a dark one given by Adolf Hitler. It's about energy, and although this energy may be focused on this person, and this person might be at the epicentre of what's happening, actually, that something is happening with everybody, because we are all together experiencing it. That's its power.
Think about the energy of a love letter. You don't receive a love letter and you feel forlorn. Then the love letter arrives, saying I love you. It doesn't just make your day it makes your week. If I had had flu, it would be gone, obliterated by the power of love.
Sue: I was listening to the radio to someone talking about going to the theatre and as we walk in, everyone's heart rate is different. However, by the time the play has ended, everyone's heart rates are synchronised, and you get this wonderful sense of unity. I love that.
Misha: Yes, exactly.
Sue: I'm really curious about how homoeopathy can help people overcome their fear of death.
Misha: I believe we have to overcome our fear of life. In the ward, in the home, in a death situation, the homeopath has two approaches: the best is to investigate the whole case. But if you only get access to the person in their final moments, there will not be time to do that. So, then you would look at how they were experiencing what was happening to them now, and match that with something in nature which has that same or similar experience. However, if you have a bit more time with someone, you may find out what remedy they would have needed all their life, so they can let go, especially their regrets, and anything that has and is undermining their sense of being. Then they can let go of the personal and enter the collective.
Sue: That's another massive shift of understanding – knowing that this isn't just about us dying but we are going back to some form of collective and we probably don't know what that is. However, having a sense of the collective would release so many people from a fear of dying. I would imagine homoeopathy is incredibly helpful around that.
Misha: Yes, it is in helping us gain an experience of the eternal, the collective, the embracing reality.
Sue: A lot of people are talking about shifting consciousness these days and we all know that climate change is knocking on our doors and things aren't right out there. How do you see things?
Misha: I feel the rising concern and see it manifesting as disorientation, uncertainty, depression, and anger. I know what I might say to an individual if they were concerned about these things and found it difficult to formulate coherent thoughts. I would help them clarify their thinking, find their own voice. I'd be more in the role of therapist, here. I also think being aware of the issue of death is key. If you have clarity around that, fear is vanquished. Were fear is not, separation is not, isolation is not. Sometimes there is a lion chasing you. Then this is not an imagined fear of something that's hanging over you from the past, but a real concern engaging you with a present situation.
What can I do about this crisis? I can be in the now and from the now I can be effective in doing something about the world crisis. If I'm not in the now, I'll be less effective. I think Greta Thunberg is a good example of someone who is in the now. She does have an Asperger's diagnosis, but this allows her to focus on what some of us can't see. What an amazing phenomenon she is. However, James Lovelock has repeatedly warned that the future is going to be good for cockroaches and just possibly, rats. But not good for any of the higher, more sentient beings.
Sue: Maybe the future will be an alien-like cockroach creature. But it will still be expressing life and I think we need to get over ourselves as being so important.
Misha: I agree with you. For sure life will continue, and if it doesn't continue here, it will be found somewhere else in the Universe. The Universe is a big place and the life force, which is its spiritual manifestation, is sure to find forms through which it will flourish
Sue: With all the work that you've done with homoeopathy in helping people with their suffering, does it make you feel sad that we might not be here for much longer?
Misha: Nowadays it doesn't. I feel less and less the need to worry about the future or thinking that once things were better. Yeah, I have my moments, but they're reducing in intensity. Or course I love my fellow humans and continue to do my best to help them.
Sue: Is that because you are older?
Misha: I'm sure it is, but there is another piece to the story that feeds into this. I have been to India many times because India is a great place for homeopathy. Once, I met a man who had a following even though he didn't want one. He always said,' I'm not a guru,' and when people congregated around him, he'd walk away. He developed diabetes , lost the sensation in his feet and, being apt to stumble, he could no longer escape his followers. They began to gather around him like flies on flypaper – and I was one of those flies who turned up one day. During that time, I smiled so much it hurt. I was enchanted and delighted to be with him – to meet a real human being who was here in the now and transmitting pure joy.
For me, something profound had occurred. I lost that sadness which had always accompanied me like Peter Pan's shadow. My shadow had been a combination of feeling isolated and of endlessly questioning, 'where is my home?' We can speculate that the root of that might have been located in my family's history of racial persecution. Then, after I had absorbed the spirit of this man, it disappeared and has never returned. Originally I thought it must be the experience of India. But if I am honest, it wasn't. It was the fact that I was in the presence of this man. He said he wasn't a guru, but actually he was. He was able to transmit something, and his message was terribly simple: 'Be in the Now. You will experience no separation.' That's it.
Sue: How has this experience influenced your relationship with life and death?
Misha: I advise that you don't give the pain or the fear or the anger located in the past any energy. I think of it as a pain body as Eckhart Tolle describes it, a machine that has a lead that you have to plug in to give it energy. Don't plug it in! That is a big ask, but this is what we are here to learn. I think our mission is to find ways to go beyond the belief system, 'I am defined by my suffering.' Then the fear (of death) though it may arise, is not sustained. In the absence of the fear there is spaciousness, and acceptance of the transience of phenomena, that everything in existence is constantly changing. That is the nature of nature, and with that acceptance comes deepest peace.

Beckie Martell, Veterinary Assistant
Beckie was raised in Prince Edward Island. Growing up on a farm, she was surrounded with animals, small and large. She knew from a young age that she wanted a career in the veterinary field and we consider ourselves very fortunate to have her working with us at New Perth Animal Hospital .
Beckie graduated from the Maritime Business College in 2003 with a Veterinary Assistant diploma. She lives in New Perth with her husband Tyler, their three children, Isaac, Emily and Brentley and is still surrounded by animals; her dog Nash, 3 cats: Glitch, Peter and Simon, Guinea Pig Spartacus and a Gecko named Magnum.
Beckie is currently working towards becoming a registered veterinary technician in the future. We are doing what we can to support her in this goal because we know she is and will be a tremendous asset to the profession.
Brandy Beausoleil, Veterinary Assistant
Moving to the island from a town near Montreal has been a dream come true for Brandy, her husband Tim, and their two sons, Tristan and Damian.
Having really enjoyed Biology class in High School, and combined with a strong love of animals, Brandy decided to pursue a career in the veterinary medical field and graduated with honours as a veterinary assistant. Much to our delight (and she says hers too!) she joined our New Perth Animal Hospital team. Since joining us, her four-legged family continues to expand and now includes a sweet Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Cleo and a very energetic Miniature Poodle aptly called Fury.
Brandy embraces our philosophy of lifelong learning and is enrolled in a veterinary technician course, which she hopes to complete while working with us. We wish her all the best with this course and plan to do everything we can to help her achieve her goals.

November 2, 2006: In the last six months (April-September) Japanese air defense forces have had a twenty percent increase in problems with intruders, resulting in fighters being sent out to take a look 149 times. Last year, there were 125 instances where fighters had to be sent up to find out who was making an unauthorized intrusion into Japanese air space. Most of the time, it's a military aircraft from some neighboring country. What's really interesting is that Chinese incursions fell from thirty last year, to one during the same period this year. Meanwhile, incursions from Russia, already the majority, increased still more. Now, 93 percent of the incursions are from Russia. There are many reasons for this, including bad weather up there, poorly trained Russian pilots and continuing tensions over who owns what off the north coast of Japan, and exactly where the maritime borders are.

With so many builders in North London, it is important that you put the effort into choosing the right one. Here, we are going to look into why this is so important, as well as give you a few different tips that you can use to ensure that you make the right choice.
Make sure that you look for a builder that is going to be right for your specific project. Let's say that you want a patio built, you should choose a builder that has experience with that.
Aim for an experienced builder. The longer they have been in the business, the better. A good builder will have a plethora of reviews online that you will be able to sink your teeth into. Don't forget to ask for references from the builder too!
Always meet with the builder before you start to work with them. This is important. Not only are they going to be able to give you a quote on your project, but you will be able to get a feel for whether you can work with them or not. You want to select a builder who is willing to take your ideas on board, but who is not afraid to share their own too. Of course, the project design should be yours, but you want a builder who is going to be able to offer solutions which will make everything 'better'.
It is likely that you are going to be spending a considerable sum of cash on your building project. Therefore, you want to ensure that it is going to end up looking as great as possible. If you take the time to find the right builder, then you can be sure that it will do. This is why you really need to take your time to find the right builder. They will be able to share details of projects that they have completed in the past. This will give you a rough idea about the quality of project that you will end up with at the end of the day!
Most building projects do not go quickly. In fact, they take a while to complete. When you work with an experienced team, everything seems to go a bit smoother. Yes, issues will pop up throughout the building process. There is not a lot that you can do about this. However, you can be sure that an experienced team will have tackled these problems before. This means that they will be able to overcome those hurdles so your project is not going to be hampered all that much.

Conservative Baroness Warsi criticises own party for being unwilling to tackle Islamophobia
One of the Conservative party's most high-profile Muslim politicians has criticised her party for being unwilling to tackle Islamophobia in its ranks.
Baroness Sayeeda Warsi told ITV News she was disappointed that having criticised Labour over its attitude to anti-Semitism, the Tories were unwilling to "deal with bigotry when it finds itself in our own backyard".
It comes after Sajid Javid, the home secretary, scorned calls by the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) for an investigation into alleged racism by Tory candidates and members.
Baroness Warsi, a former party chairwoman, told ITV News: "What for me is deeply disappointing is that I raised this issue with my party long before the ugly head of anti-Semitism raised itself within the Labour party.
"And what I find is that we were quite right to challenge the Labour party on its issue of anti-Semitism, but it now disappoints me and concerns me why we're not prepared to deal with bigotry when it finds itself in our own backyard."
Sajid Javid has rejected calls for an investigation into alleged racism by Tory candidates and members Credit: PA
The row has erupted as a result of a letter from the MCB to Conservative party chairman Brandon Lewis that highlights alleged racist incidents by party representatives.
The incidents ranged from allegedly offensive tweets to accusations of links to the far-right and the letter specifically highlight "shocking Islamophobia" in the campaign run by Zac Goldsmith in his unsuccessful bid to beat Labour's Sadiq Khan to become mayor of London in 2016.
Baroness Warsi has backed the MCB's call and believes there is "overwhelming" evidence warranting an investigation.
But appearing on the BBC's Andrew Marr show, the home secretary, appeared to suggest the accusations could not be viewed as credible.
"The Muslim Council of Britain does not represent Muslims in this country," Mr Javid said.
"You find me a group of Muslims that thinks that they're represented by the MCB."
Harun Khan, the MCB's general secretary, claimed Mr Javid's comments showed the Conservatives had "no interest in dealing with this matter with the seriousness it deserves".

Thank you for visiting the Disney Parks Moms Panel with your question about attraction standby queues for Walt Disney World Resort rides and attractions.
Simply put, the standby queue for an attraction is the traditional, or regular, queue. In a standby queue, you stand in line and wait for your turn to experience the Walt Disney World Resort attraction of your choice. All Walt Disney World Resort rides and attractions have standby queues — even those that do not have a FastPass+ queue.
You do not need to take any additional steps in order to enter a standby queue. You simply enter the line when you arrive at the attraction. Additionally, standby queues will have approximate "wait times" posted at the front of the line. These wait times let you know approximately how long you will be standing in the standby queue.
Jeffry, I was recently unable to grab a FastPass+ for Avatar Flight of Passage. Fortunately, I will be able to utilize the standby queue in order to experience this very popular attraction and fly a banshee in Pandora!
Disney Mom Tip: In order to make wait times more enjoyable, many standby queues have fun, interactive experiences for you to enjoy while you wait! Examples of attractions that have interactive queues are The Haunted Mansion and Dumbo the Flying Elephant.
If you have any additional questions, please visit the Disney Parks Moms Panel again. We are always here to help you plan you next Walt Disney World Resort vacation.
On 4/20/2018 Dawn from NY Asked: Hello! Is it true that once you have used your fast pass selections, you can go to a kiosk or use the app to add additional fast pass selections?

Q: How to horizonally align this table? Is there a way to have a set (dynamic) spacing between the elements in this table without messing up horizontal alignment of the elements in the cell ?
\documentclass{ltxdoc}
\usepackage{geometry}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage{longtable}
\usepackage{ragged2e}
\usepackage{array}

\newcommand*{\tabsep}{3ex}
\newcommand*{\TS}{\noalign{\vskip\tabsep}\pagebreak[1]}

\begin{document}

\begin{longtable}[h]{l >{\RaggedRight}m{5cm} >{\RaggedRight}m{5cm} c c}
\textcolor{blue}{\textbf{R}} code & Syntax & Gebruik & Is vector & Link
\\*\TS
\hline
\TS
\endhead
\texttt{pchisq()} & \begin{tabular}{l}\texttt{\textcolor{blue}{pchisq(}\textcolor{cyan}{<getal>},} \\*\TS \texttt{\textcolor{green}{df=<waarde>}\textcolor{blue}{)}} \\*\TS \texttt{\textcolor{green}{col=<getal>},} \\*\TS \texttt{\textcolor{red}{lwd=<getal>}} \end{tabular} & \begin{tabular}{>{\RaggedRight}m{5cm}}Calculate P-value in a chi square test \\*\TS  degrees of freedom \\*\TS This code doesn't make sense, but neither does the vertical table alignment \\*\TS Random line width option \end{tabular} & $\surd$ & {$\leftarrow$} \\
\end{longtable}
\end{document}

An alternative way to do it would be to use seperate table lines:
\documentclass{ltxdoc}
\usepackage{geometry}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage{longtable}
\usepackage{ragged2e}
\usepackage{array}

\newcommand*{\tabsep}{3ex}
\newcommand*{\TS}{\noalign{\vskip\tabsep}\pagebreak[1]}

\begin{document}

\begin{longtable}[h]{l >{\RaggedRight}m{5cm} >{\RaggedRight}m{5cm} c c}
\textcolor{blue}{\textbf{R}} code & Syntax & Gebruik & Is vector & Link
\\*\TS
\hline
\TS
\endhead
& \texttt{\textcolor{blue}{pchisq(}\textcolor{cyan}{<getal>},} & Calculate P-value in a chi square test \\
\\*\TS
& \texttt{\textcolor{green}{df=<waarde>}\textcolor{blue}{)}} & degrees of freedom \\
\texttt{pchisq()} & & & $\surd$ & $\leftarrow$ \\
& \texttt{\textcolor{green}{col=<getal>},} &  This code doesn't make sense, but neither does the vertical table alignment \\
\\*\TS
& \texttt{\textcolor{red}{lwd=<getal>}} & Random line width option \\
\end{longtable}
\end{document}

...but the result is still sloppy:

Does anybody know a cleaner solution to this?

A: Perhaps this? Using booktabs, \multirow and increasing a little \arraystretch:
\documentclass{ltxdoc}
\usepackage{geometry}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage{longtable}
\usepackage{ragged2e}
\usepackage{array}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\usepackage{multirow}
\newcommand*{\tabsep}{3ex}
\newcommand*{\TS}{\noalign{\vskip\tabsep}\pagebreak[1]}

\begin{document}

{
\renewcommand\arraystretch{1.3}
\begin{longtable}{l >{\RaggedRight}m{5cm} >{\RaggedRight}m{5cm} c c}
\textcolor{blue}{\textbf{R}} code & Syntax & Gebruik & Is vector & Link \\
\toprule
\endhead
\multirow{6}{*}{\texttt{pchisq()}}
  & \texttt{\textcolor{blue}{pchisq(}\textcolor{cyan}{<getal>},}
  & Calculate P-value in a chi square test
  & \multirow{6}{*}{$\surd$}
  & \multirow{6}{*}{$\leftarrow$}
\\
& \texttt{\textcolor{green}{df=<waarde>}\textcolor{blue}{)}}
  & degrees of freedom
\\
& \texttt{\textcolor{green}{col=<getal>},}
  & This code doesn't make sense, but neither does the vertical table alignment
\\
& \texttt{\textcolor{red}{lwd=<getal>}}
  & Random line width option
\\
\end{longtable}
}

\end{document}

A: Here is a solution, using the multirow, makecell and  booktabs packages:
\documentclass{ltxdoc}
\usepackage{geometry}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage{longtable}
\usepackage{ragged2e}
\usepackage{array, multirow, booktabs}
\usepackage{makecell}
%\newcommand*{\tabsep}{3ex}
%\newcommand*{\TS}{\noalign{\vskip\tabsep}\pagebreak[1]}
\renewcommand\cellalign{{m{5cm}}c}
\renewcommand\cellgape{\Gape[0.6 ex]}
\renewcommand\theadalign{lc}
\renewcommand\theadfont{\bfseries}

\begin{document}

\begin{longtable}[!h]{l *{2}{>{\RaggedRight}m{5cm}}*{2}{c}}%
\thead{\textcolor{blue}{\textbf{R}} code} & \thead{Syntax} & \thead{Gebruik} & \thead{Is vector }& \thead{Link}
\\
\toprule
\addlinespace
%\TS
\endhead
\multirow{7}{*}{\texttt{pchisq()}}
&  \texttt{\textcolor{blue}{pchisq(}\textcolor{cyan}{<getal>},} & \makecell{Calculate P-value in a chi square test}
& \multirow{7}{*}{$\surd$} & \multirow{7}{*}{$\leftarrow$}\\%
&\texttt{\textcolor{green}{df=<waarde>}\textcolor{blue}{)}} & \makecell{ degrees of freedom} \\
& \texttt{\textcolor{green}{col=<getal>},} &  \makecell*{This code doesn't make sense, but neither does the vertical table alignment} &  \ \\
&  \texttt{\textcolor{red}{lwd=<getal>}} & \makecell*{Random line width option} \\
\end{longtable}

\end{document}

A: This is not a real answer to your question,
in that it does not display the content as a table within a table.
Nevertheless it may be useful
to consider alternative ways to present the content.
Instead of using a table within a table,
you could typeset the content as code with comments, e.g.
\begin{verbatim}
pchisq(<getal>, % calculate p-value in a chi square test
df =<waarde>,   % degrees of freedom
col=<getal>,    % This code doesn't make sense,
                % but neither does the vertical table alignment
lwd =<getal>)   % Random line width option
\end{verbatim}

If you were to use the listings package to display code,
then you could make the output more pretty (e.g. syntax highlighting).
Personally, I think the table within a table approach consumes a lot of paper,
and is hard to read.
In fact, the built-in documentation for R functions does not put a table within a table, but looks like the following:

Description
Density, distribution function, quantile function and random generation for the chi-squared (chi^2) distribution with df degrees of freedom and optional non-centrality parameter ncp.
Usage
dchisq(x, df, ncp = 0, log = FALSE)
...

Arguments
x, q     vector of quantiles.
p        vector of probabilities.
...
