In February 1937, against the backdrop of the South Central Los Angeles,[5] referred to later as the Vermont Avenue campus.[6][7] By April 6, 1938, George Pepperdine College was fully accredited by the Northwest Association.
Pepperdine had built a fortune founding and developing the Western Auto Supply Company, which he started with a $5 investment, but his prosperity led to his greater ambition to discover "how humanity can be helped most with the means entrusted to [his] care. [He] considered it wrong to build up a great fortune and use it selfishly." Mr. Pepperdine voiced his twofold objective for the college that bore his name, "First, we want to provide first-class, fully accredited academic training in the liberal arts ... Secondly, we are especially dedicated to a greater goal—that of building in the student a Christ-like life, a love for the church, and a passion for the souls of mankind."[8]
Move to Malibu
By the 1960s, the young college faced serious problems. The area around the Vermont Avenue campus developed issues with crime and urban decay; tensions also arose due to the Civil Rights Movement and attempts to circumvent it such as California Proposition 14, which challenged federal fair housing laws.[7] The situation exploded in the 1965 Watts Riots.[7] In 1969 activists in the Watts area threatened to burn down the campus; however, they were talked out of it after all-night negotiations by then-President M. Norvel Young.[7] In addition, the Vermont Avenue campus was running out of room to expand.[7]
In 1967, the school began planning to move the undergraduate campus and a committee was formed to look at alternative locations, including sites in Valencia, Orange County, Ventura County and Westlake Village.[7] Pepperdine favored the Westlake Village location until the Adamson-Rindge family, who owned hundreds of acres near Malibu, offered 138 acres (56 ha) of land. Despite concerns over building costs on the mountainous site, the school decided to move forward based on its prime location and potential for raising donation.[7] Construction began on April 13, 1971 and the new campus opened for student enrollment in September 1972.[7] The campus and many of its buildings were planned by Los Angeles-based architect and urban planner William Pereira.[9]
The old campus was sold to Crenshaw Christian Center, whose minister, Frederick K.C. Price, then oversaw construction of the "FaithDome," the largest domed-church in the United States, seating over 10,000.
Pepperdine gained university status in 1971 when the school of law was added and the business and education departments became separate schools. In the 1980s, Pepperdine rose to prominence as one of the United States' leading centers of conservative politics, attracting many conservative-leaning professors from nearby UCLA and USC. Prominent conservatives on the Pepperdine faculty have included Bruce Herschensohn, Ben Stein, Kenneth Starr, Arthur Laffer, Douglas Kmiec, and Daniel Pipes.

Brushfires
In 1985, 1993 and 1996, massive brushfires threatened the campus with destruction, but firefighters successfully protected almost all structures. On October 21, 2007, fast-moving wildfires forced campus residents to relocate and shelter in the Firestone Field house and Cafeteria, plus evacuations of local homes and businesses.[10] Similarly, another November 2007 fire in Corral Canyon, accidentally set off by a group of Los Angeles youths, caused an evacuation of the Drescher Campus. However, most students were off-campus for the Thanksgiving holiday.
The main campus is located among several ridges that overlook the Pacific Ocean and the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, California. It has been described as "undoubtedly one of the most beautiful college campuses in the United States."[11] The main campus entrance road ascends a steep, well-groomed grassy slope past a huge stylized cross, known as the Phillips Theme Tower, symbolizing the university's dedication to its original Christian mission. Most buildings were constructed in a reinterpretation of Mediterranean Revival Style architecture (red tile roofs, white stuccoed walls, large tinted windows). The majority of the construction on the main campus was completed in 1973. There are views of the Pacific Ocean, Catalina Island, Palos Verdes Peninsula, Long Beach and the westside of Los Angeles from numerous points. Landscape architects (Eric) Armstrong and (S. Lee) Scharfman were responsible for the campus green space planning and design.
Graduations take place at Alumni Park, a broad expanse of lawn overlooking Pacific Coast Highway and the Pacific Ocean. The main academic plaza for undergraduate programs of Seaver College lies just above Alumni Park and includes Stauffer Chapel, Tyler Campus Center, Payson Library, and the Ahmanson Fine Arts Center. Undergraduate housing and athletic facilities sit to the north/northwest of the academic complex. The Law School exists even higher above these areas. The central campus is surrounded by a loop road consisting of Seaver Drive, Huntsinger Circle, and John Tyler Drive. Banowsky Boulevard separates Alumni Park from the main academic complex and is named in honor of William S. Banowsky, the 4th president of Pepperdine.
Spur roads to the east of the central part of campus lead to faculty housing. To the northwest, Via Pacifica winds uphill to the Drescher Graduate Campus, completed in 2003 and home to the School of Public Policy, the Villa Graziadio conference center, as well as the full-time programs of the Graziadio School of Business and Management and the Graduate School of Education and Psychology. Housing for graduate students, undergraduate honors students, and faculty are also located here.

Do you see a ball moving back and forth at the top and below this moving ball do you see two stationary balls?
Would it surprise you if I said that the moving ball is really one ball presented first on the left over the stationary ball and then on the right over the right stationary ball? This is true even though it appears like one ball moving across the screen.
This is an old and famous illusion called the Phi Phenomenon. If you think about it, you've seen this principle many times on movie marquees. The principle behind this phenomenon also lies behind the moving pictures you see at the cinema. Did you realize that at the movies you are looking at a rapid sequence of discrete images?
The two balls do not necessarily have to be the same color. Click on Color Phi to see what I mean.

…a conversation with Sinan Ciddi, Ph.D.
The Turkish-American bilateral relationship has its roots in Cold War cooperation. After committing a sizable number of combat divisions to the Korean War in 1950, Turkey was formally admitted to NATO in 1952. Since then, the US and Turkey have collaborated in numerous regional and global security initiatives.
However, since the onset of the Arab Uprisings and heightened instability in the near and Middle East, Turkey's relationship with the United States has come under increased strain, owing largely to divergent policies that have eroded trust and undermined cooperation.
To what extent has the US-Turkish relationship suffered irreparable harm?
Are there ways that the partnership can be rebuilt?

SEC Chair Gary Gensler Warns There Are Non-Compliant Crypto Tokens
SEC Chair Gary Gensler says many cryptocurrencies are security tokens.
During an oversight hearing held by the House Committee on Appropriations, Gary Gensler, the chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, told Democratic Congressman Mike Quigley that there are many cryptocurrencies that fall under the federal securities laws:
You are right to say that there are many crypto tokens that do come under the securities laws, and our agency is trying to enforce the law. But there's thousands of tokens, and we've only been able to bring 75 actions. And there are others currently that are non-compliant.
In his prepared testimony, Gensler wrote that asset managers that invest in unregistered securities could come under scrutiny as well:
The SEC has been consistent in its communication to market participants that those who use initial coin offerings to raise capital or to engage in securities transactions must comply with the federal securities laws. Asset managers that invest in these assets may come under securities laws, too.
He mentioned that there's "some interest" in funds that are involved in the cryptocurrency space.
Gensler also reiterated his intention to work with Congress in order to regulate exchanges in the testimony:
In recent weeks, the reported trading volume has ranged from $130 billion to $330 billion per day. These figures, however, are not audited or reported to regulatory authorities, as the tokens are traded on unregistered crypto exchanges. That is just one of many regulatory gaps in these crypto asset markets.
The SEC boss is currently having conversations with other federal agencies to fill regulatory gaps in crypto.

How can you be sure when someone is lying?
Ingrid Skyberg is a brilliant FBI agent working out of the US Embassy in London. She took a job in England to put some distance between her and the past, but this new case is forcing painful memories to the surface.
An American student at an elite London college is in police custody, suspected of murdering her roommate. Convinced something sinister is happening on campus, Ingrid enters a world of deadly mind games to hunt for the real killer, in defiance of both her new boss and the Metropolitan Police. Isolated and out on a limb, Ingrid is driven by events from her past to keep digging, but the deeper she gets, the more elaborate the lies become. When she uncovers a sinister experiment within the college's psychology department, Ingrid is in far more danger than she realizes.
To get to the truth before it's too late, Ingrid must work out who – if anyone – she can really trust.
Fresh Doubt is a twisty-turny thriller from an award winning author. The Ingrid Skyberg novels are perfect for fans of breath-holding action, unpredictable twists, and strong female leads.

Ingrid is resilient, resourceful and a one of the toughest agents ever to come out of Quantico, but she's never been tested like this before. With no help from her colleagues at the embassy, Ingrid is running out of time to unmask the killer before he strikes again… and she is next on his list!

Ten Worst Insurance Companies
The American Association of Justice (the new name for the Trial Lawyers Association of America) has released its report on insurance company behavior. Researchers studied SEC and FBI records, state complaints and investigations, news reports, and thousands of court documents. They came up with ten insurance companies who won the distinction of being the worst in the nation for service to their policy holders.
Starting with the worst first, they are:
Allstate — whose mission was quoted by its CEO as being "… to earn a return for our shareholders." It advertises its "good hands" but quietly trains its agents to use a "boxing glove" strategy with policy holders.
Unum — a leading disability insurer which consistently denies and delays claims.
>AIG — the world's largest insurer, which has now been labeled "the New Enron" because of the multi-billion dollar charges of corporate fraud.
State Farm — America's largest property casualty insurance company, notorious for behavior such as forging policy holder signatures on earthquake waivers after the Northridge earthquake, and changing engineering reports after hurricane Katrina.
Conseco – which sells long-term care policies and uses delay tactics with its elderly policyholders, knowing that they will die before payment will have to be made.
WellPoint — the nation's biggest health insurer, which routinely cancels the policies of those who are chronically ill or pregnant.
Farmers — typically at the bottom of homeowner satisfaction surveys, it developed an incentive program awarding pizza parties for adjusters who made the lowest payments.
United Health — Notorious for late and low reimbursements, it has used AARP data to raise premiums on seniors.
Torchmark — the holding company of subsidiaries which overcharge the poor for burial, cancer, and life insurance, and charge minorities more than whites.
Liberty Mutual — which (like Allstate and State Farm) hired the consulting company McKinsey & Co. to strengthen its "deny, delay and defend" procedures – and is considered by regulators to be engaging in systematic bid-rigging.
Insurance bad faith is one of the areas of law that we offer at Robert W. Kerpsack Co. If you feel you have been deceived or given a runaround by your insurance company, please call or email us. We will be glad to give you a free case evaluation.

Indigenous Women From Standing Rock And Allies On Divestment Delegation In Europe
Indigenous Women From Standing Rock And Allies
On Divestment Delegation In Europe
By WECAN
PRESS RELEASE - Indigenous Women From Standing Rock And Allies On Divestment Delegation In Europe
Update September 28, 2017
Emily Arasim (general inquiries) – emily@wecaninternational.org, +1(505)920-0153
Osprey Orielle Lake (urgent inquiries in Europe) – osprey@wecaninternational.org, +1(415)722-2104
Michelle Cook (general inquiries) - divestinvestprotect@gmail.com
SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA, California (September 20, 2017) – From September 30th through October 14th, 2017, a delegation of Indigenous women from across the United States who have been at the forefront of the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) resistance effort and other movements to stop fossil fuel extraction and infrastructure which pose threats to Indigenous and human rights, self-determination, lands and culture will travel to Norway, Switzerland and Germany. The delegation will urge financial institutions to divest from and cancel credit facilities with pipeline companies that endanger rights and neglect Indigenous People's right to Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC) as outlined in the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
Norway, Switzerland and Germany house several of the world's largest financial institutions that, through either corporate level or project level finance, support dangerous extraction projects across Indigenous territories in the U.S. and globally - making these countries vital locations for frontline and impacted women leaders to engage directly with banks, public officials, civil society groups, and media.
The Autumn 2017 Indigenous Women's Divestment Delegation, facilitated by the Women's Earth and Climate Action Network (WECAN) International in partnership with Indigenous women leaders and their directives, is part of a growing movement that has found the pursuit of institutional divestment to be an effective strategy to hold banks and fossil fuel related companies accountable to indigenous rights and protection of land, climate and water.
Autumn 2017 Indigenous Women's Divestment Delegation members include - LaDonna Brave Bull Allard (Lakota historian, member of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and founder/landowner of Sacred Stone Camp); Dr. Sara Jumping Eagle (Oglala Lakota and Mdewakantonwan Dakota pediatrician, living and working on the Standing Rock Reservation, North Dakota); Jackie Fielder (Mnicoujou Lakota and Mandan-Hidatsa, Campaign Coordinator of Lakota People's Law Project and organizer with Mazaska Talks); Michelle Cook (Diné/Navajo, human rights lawyer and a founding member of the of the Water Protector Legal Collective at Standing Rock); and Tara Houska (Anishinaabe, tribal attorney, National Campaigns Director of Honor the Earth, former advisor on Native American affairs to Bernie Sanders); along with Osprey Orielle Lake (WECAN Executive Director and delegation facilitator).
Full Delegate biographies available here: wecaninternational.org/pages/autumn17-divestment-spokeswomen
In addition to advocating for fossil fuel divestment and investment in a renewable energy future - delegates will share vital updates regarding the Dakota Access Pipeline, the growing pipeline resistance by Indigenous peoples and allies to Keystone XL (TransCanada), Trans Mountain (Kinder Morgan), Energy East (TransCanada), and Line 3 (Enbridge) pipeline projects; and the success of municipal divestment campaigns across the United States.
The Delegation will be based in Oslo, Norway from September 30 - October 4; in Zurich, Switzerland from October 5 - 10; and in Munich and Frankfurt, Germany from October 11 - 14. Press and media are encouraged to reach out to WECAN International to schedule interviews.
"We stand to protect the water and our Mother Earth. We stand to divest from fossil fuel so our children can live. We stand because we have no other choice. Min Wiconi, Water is Life." explains LaDonna Brave Bull Allard (Lakota historian, member of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and founder/landowner of Sacred Stone Camp)
"Indigenous peoples impacted by DAPL and destructive fossil fuel development projects are determined to continue education and advocacy efforts related to bank divestment from companies causing and/or contributing to indigenous human rights abuses in the United States. The Divestment Delegation is an opportunity to evaluate the efficacy of banks' human rights policy as well as to educate the public on the distinctions and contrasts between the normative human rights standards of Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC) and its negative image; a coercive indigenous consultation model practiced by state and non-state actors for natural resource extraction in the U.S. In spite of the human rights violations, it is also a time for indigenous peoples and communities to vision, imagine, nurture, and create new and more just balanced economies." explains Michelle Cook (Diné/Navajo, human rights lawyer and a founding member of the of the Water Protector Legal Collective at Standing Rock)
"I always knew that I had to prepare for something, a time when the people and land would need me to be ready. That time is now. What will you do when that time has arrived? For those of us, who know that we need to change how all of us live on this earth so that we may live, so our grandchildren who are not yet born may have a chance - we have to stand up, and make our voices and our power known. That time is now." explains Dr. Sara Jumping Eagle (Oglala Lakota and Mdewakantonwan Dakota pediatrician, living and working on the Standing Rock Reservation, North Dakota)
"We will carry one message from our homelands to financial institutions in Europe: respect indigenous women's rights to Free, Prior, and Informed Consent. If banks continue to harm our women, children, and elders, we will continue to push divestment and hurt what is most precious to them - their bottom dollar." explains Jackie Fielder (Mnicoujou Lakota and Mandan-Hidatsa, Campaign Coordinator of the Lakota People's Law Project and organizer with Mazaska Talks)
"Gross human rights violations associated with fossil fuel infrastructure are not limited to the well-publicized fight at Standing Rock. All over the world, indigenous peoples and Mother Earth's finite freshwater resources are threatened by needless fossil fuels projects. We ask the banking industry to take a stand for all people that big oil won't. Stop funding destruction and abuse with consumer money. We want just transition to renewable energy and the lives of your customers to matter more than oil profits." explains Tara Houska (Anishinaabe, tribal attorney, National Campaigns Director of Honor the Earth, former advisor on Native American affairs to Bernie Sanders)
"With extreme weather from devastating floods to raging fires currently being experienced around the world - it could not be more clear that the Earth is sending us an urgent message that we must take immediate action to keep fossil fuels in the ground - and re-vision and re-build a just and sustainable future for all. In the context of the global Fossil Fuel Divestment movement, the Women's Earth and Climate Action Network is working to ensure that Indigenous and frontline women have the opportunity to speak for themselves, directly to the institutions, governments and policy makers whose decisions are harming their communities and territories through their continued investment in violent, destructive projects. It has never been more vital to listen to the voices of Indigenous women leaders. Together, with their voices at the forefront, we can restore the health of our communities, transition to clean energy, and seek justice for those who continue to be impacted on a daily basis by fossil fuel development at Standing Rock and around the world." explains Osprey Orielle Lake (Executive Director and Founder of the Women's Earth and Climate Action Network, WECAN)

Translation of Bhagavad Gita 7.19
After many births and deaths, he who is actually in knowledge surrenders unto Me, knowing Me to be the cause of all causes and all that is. Such a great soul is very rare.
Commentary by Sri A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada of Gaudiya Sampradaya:
The living entity, while executing devotional service or transcendental rituals after many, many births, may actually become situated in transcendental pure knowledge that the Supreme Personality of Godhead is the ultimate goal of spiritual realization. In the beginning of spiritual realization, while one is trying to give up one's attachment to materialism, there is some leaning towards impersonalism, but when one is further advanced he can understand that there are activities in the spiritual life and that these activities constitute devotional service. Realizing this, he becomes attached to the Supreme Personality of Godhead and surrenders to Him. At such a time one can understand that Lord Sri Krishna's mercy is everything, that He is the cause of all causes and that this material manifestation is not independent from Him. He realizes the material world to be a perverted reflection of spiritual variegatedness and realizes that in everything there is a relationship with the Supreme Lord Krishna. Thus he thinks of everything in relation to Vasudeva, or Sri Krishna. Such a universal vision of Vasudeva precipitates one's full surrender to the Supreme Lord Sri Krishna as the highest goal. Such surrendered great souls are very rare.
This verse is very nicely explained in the Third Chapter (verses 14 and 15) of the Shvetasvatara Upanishad:
sahasra-sirsa purushah
sahasrakshah sahasra-pat
sa bhumim vishvato vrtva-
tyatisthad dasangulam
purusha evedam sarvam
yad bhutam yac ca bhavyam
utamritatvasyesano
yad annenatirohati
In the Chandogya Upanishad (5.1.15) it is said, na vai vaco na caksumsi na srotrani na manamsity acakshate prana iti evacakshate prano hy evaitani sarvani bhavanti: "In the body of a living being neither the power to speak, nor the power to see, nor the power to hear, nor the power to think is the prime factor; it is life which is the center of all activities." Similarly Lord Vasudeva, or the Personality of Godhead, Lord Sri Krishna, is the prime entity in everything. In this body there are powers of speaking, of seeing, of hearing, of mental activities, etc. But these are not important if not related to the Supreme Lord. And because Vasudeva is all-pervading and everything is Vasudeva, the devotee surrenders in full knowledge (cf. Bhagavad-gita 7.17 and 11.40).
Commentary by Sri Vishvanatha Chakravarthi Thakur of Gaudiya Sampradaya:
"You say that this jnani attains the supreme goal. Being a devotee with a tinge of jnana, he attains you. But after how long does a jnani become qualified as a devotee?"
He who possesses knowledge, seeing Vasudeva everywhere, after many births surrenders to me. Such a saintly person attains me through chance association with devotees. That jnani who is a devotee has a very steady mind (mahatma), and is very rare. As I have said, manusyanam sahasresu, out of thousands, one person may know me in truth. What to speak of the rarity then, of the kevala or ekanta bhakta? Such a person is very, very rare.
Commentary by Sri Ramanuja of Sri Sampradaya:
7.19 Further after passing through innumerable auspicious births, one gets the knowledge: 'I find my sole joy as a Sesa of Vasudeva. I find my essence, existence and activities to be dependent on Him. He is superior over all others on account of His innumerable auspicious attributes.' Consequent to this knowledge he resorts to Me, i.e., meditates on Me, realising, 'Vasudeva alone is my highest end and also the means for attaining it, and whatever other desire remains in the mind, He alone is all that too for me'. Such a great-souled person, i.e., great-minded man is hard to find. It is very hard to find such persons in this world. This is the only meaning of the statement that 'Vasudeva is all,' because of the topic having been begun with the statements: 'For I am very dear to the man of knowledge' (7.17) and 'For he, integrated, is devoted to Me alone as the highest end' (7.18). It is so, also because that Jnanin whose traits are given here, possesses the same qualities as the man of knowledge described earlier. For, it has been said that the two Prakrtis, the animate and the inanimate, have their sole essence in being the Sesa (dependants) of the Supreme Person in the verses beginning with 'Earth, water' (7.4) and ending with, 'Ego-sense, thus My Prakrti is divided eightfold. This is my lower (Prakrti). But know that which is other than this (lower nature) and forms the life-principle to be the higher Prakrti' (7.4-5). Then take the beginning from 'I am the origin and dissolution of the whole universe. There is nothing higher than Myself, O Arjuna' (7.6-7), and ending with, 'Know that all the states of Sattva, Rajas and Tamas are from Me alone. But I am not in them. They are in Me' (7.12). It has been declared in these texts that the two Prakrtis, both in their states of cause and effect, depend upon Him for their essence, existence and activities and that the Supreme Person is superior to everything in all respects. Therefore the knower of this truth alone is here spoken of as a man of knowledge or as one knowing 'All this is Vasudeva.' [The purpose of this explanation is to eliminate any pure monistic slant to this passage.] Sri Krsna now explains the rarity of finding such a person of knowledge.
Commentary by Sri Sridhara Swami of Rudra Sampradaya:
Such a self realised being completely devoted to the Supreme Lord Krishna is extremely rare and difficult to gain association with. This is what is being stated. The words bahunam janmanam ante is at the conclusion of many births. This means that after accumulation of merit gradually over innumerable births, the final birth indicating the last lifetime is naturally carried out with devotion to the Supreme Lord Krishna whose expansion is known as Vasudeva. When an evolved being realises that everything movable and mmovable in creation is under the control of the Supreme Lord at that time such an embodied being takes complete refuge in Him and worships Him as the ultimate consciousness existing within all beings and in all things. Such a self-realised being of unwavering devotion and unlimited vision is exceedingly rare to find.
Commentary by Sri Madhvacharya of Brahma Sampradaya:
After the experience of many, many lifetimes one becomes aware of Lord Krishna's supreme position. The Brahma Purana states: Becoming aware after taking many, many births one resorts to the Supreme Lord. It is not that everyone who first approaches the Supreme Lord Krishna is aware of His paramount position as the Supreme controller. It is subsequently after many, many lives of approaching Him that one becomes aware of this.
Commentary by Sri Keshava Kashmiri of Kumara Sampradaya:
The association with an advanced and enlightened devotee of the Supreme Lord is most difficult to achieve. This Lord Krishna indicates by the words bahunam janmanam ante meaning at the final cycle of innumerable births. All these final cycle births are meritorious, characterised by righteous actions and noble activities which were numerous. It is not possible to achieve such felicity with the meagre merits acquired from righteous activities throughout a single lifetime. To have the supreme blessing to qualify for worshipping the Supreme Lord Krishna one must have a bountiful surplus of meritorious activities over a myriad of lifetimes. Then at such a time an enlightened being with overflowing love and complete dedication based on the true understanding of the goal of life, the means to attain it and how Lord Krishna is connected to both as the omnipotent, omniscient, all pervading Supreme Being, worships Him with all their body, mind and heart. Lord Krishna should be known to be the source of the Brahman or the spiritual substratum pervading all existence and also the cause of creation, preservation and dissolution of the entire material existence. The Chandogya Upanisad III.XIV.I states: All the demi-gods that have come to worship you, are actually also you because the creator of the worlds is manifested from you. As the infinite is omnipresent the Supreme Lord is like that. An exalted being endowed with the discriminating power of this knowledge is su-durlabah meaning extremely rare, perhaps only one among millions of humans. It is stated in the Bhagavat Purana: Among those who have attained moksa or liberation from the cycle of birth and death only one of them out of millions is dedicated to the Supreme Lord Krishna.
Commentary by Sri Adi Shankaracharya of Advaita Sampradaya:
7.19 Ante, at the end, after the completion; bahunam, of many; janmanam, births, which becme the repository for accumulating [Ast. omits this word.-Tr.] the tendencies leading to Knowledge; jnanavan, the man of Knowledge, who has got hiis Knowledge matured; directly prapadyate, attains; mam, Me, Vasudeva, who am the inmost Self; (realizing)-in what way?-iti, that; Vasudeva is sarvam, all. Sah, such a one, who realizes Me [Here Ast. adds the word Narayana.-Tr.] thus as the Self of all; is mahatma, a high-souled one. There is none else who can equal or excel him. Therefore he is su-durlabhah, very rare among thousands of men, as it has been said (in verse 3). The reason why one does not realize that all this is verily Vasudeva, the Self, is being stated:
Commentary by Sri Abhinavagupta of Kaula Tantra Sampradaya:
7.16-19 Caturvidhah etc., upto sudurlabhah. Those who worship Me are men of good action. They are of four types. All these are noble ones. For, other persons, mean-minded as they are, beg a cure of their affliction, and money etc., from persons who have hands, feet, stomach, body and intelligence (or bodily strength) that are equal to their (the beggers) own, or even from those who are very much inferior. But, by comparison with the man of wisdom, [the other three under question] are of inferior intelligence. For, they entertain, at that sage too, a sense of duality. Becuase, a sense of duality 'I seek this from the Bhagavat' is clearly discernible in them. On the other hand, the man of wisdom hangs on Me alone with a sense of identity [of him with Me]. Hence, I am verily indentical with him. It is I alone, and not [any other] gain, that is dear to him. That is why he is having a mind purified by the firm conviction 'All is nothing but Vasudeva'.

Missing teeth can be embarrassing, causing people to hide their smile and lose their self-esteem. The space created by missing teeth can easily become infected with bacteria, causing other teeth to shift out of place, and making it difficult for people to speak or eat correctly. Fine Dental and the staff at Fine Dental are sensitive to the hardship a missing tooth can create. We provide dental implants so that our patients can regain their self-confidence, improve their health, and approach life boldly.
Installing dental implants is a complex procedure and patients throughout the 10016 area trust us to replace their missing teeth due to the stellar reputation of Fine Dental. We know that there are multiple dental providers to choose from so Fine Dental and the staff at Fine Dental are constantly looking for ways to improve the overall experience of our patients. Our office is conveniently located in New York and we treat patients throughout New York, offering them the opportunity to restore missing teeth in a way that looks natural and beautiful.
If one or more of your teeth have fallen out, you may qualify for dental implants as a way to permanently replace the missing teeth. In order to find out, schedule an appointment with our New York dentist office by calling 212-768-7422. Fine Dental will examine your mouth and jawbone to determine if the procedure is right for you. Before you can get started, your gums need to be healthy, and your jawbone needs to be strong. If, Fine Dental identifies any cavities or signs of gum disease, this will need to be treated first.
Once you are cleared for the procedure, the staff at Fine Dental will take an impression of your mouth so that the new teeth can be created in a dental lab. Each tooth will be made to match the size and shape of the surrounding teeth along with having a perfect color match. This way your smile will appear completely natural once done. Patients throughout NY are delighted with the results since no one can tell the difference between which teeth are real and which ones are synthetic.
The next step in the procedure is to have a metal post implanted under the gum line. This aspect of the procedure is what sets dental implants apart from other forms of cosmetic dentistry and Fine Dental is a true expert at performing the procedure. The metal post is secured to the jawbone in order to create a durable, synthetic root system that rivals the strength of natural roots with one exception – metal can't become infected. Over the course of a couple of months, the metal post and jawbone will fuse together. This creates a level of durability that cannot be replicated in any other type of procedure.
Afterwards, Fine Dental will secure the new synthetic tooth to the metal post at the surface of the gums. The new tooth is attached so securely, that patients can eat their favorite foods, maintain an active lifestyle, play sports, and more, without fear of their tooth becoming loose or falling out. Patients throughout NY enjoy the benefits that come from never having to worry about their tooth again.
Patients in the 10016 area, trust Fine Dental and the staff at Fine Dental to provide dental implants in a way that is comfortable and functional. With any type of surgical procedure, it is important to visit an expert and by doing so you will reduce your risk of complications or the implants not functioning properly. Fine Dental takes the time to make sure that every aspect of the procedure is completed correctly – the first time.
In order to care for your dental implants, we advise patients throughout New York to brush and floss their teeth throughout the day like they normally would. Additionally, it is important to schedule dental exams and cleanings with Fine Dental at least twice a year. The staff at Fine Dental will help to clean your teeth and ensure that they stay healthy. This step is incredibly important because while dental implants cannot become infected themselves, the teeth around them can. If, in the future, you suffer from a severe case of gum disease or a dental abscess, the infection can spread into your jawbone. This puts your implants in jeopardy because in order to stay secure, the jawbone must be in good health. If it becomes infected, your dental implants and all of your teeth will be in jeopardy.
If you currently have dental implants and your teeth start to hurt, call 212-768-7422 to schedule an appointment immediately. This way we can identify any infection and treat it before it can spread into the jawbone. As long as you follow these simple preventative care steps, your implants and natural teeth should remain in good health.
In order to find out if implants are right for you, call 212-768-7422. Fine Dental and the staff at Fine Dental are friendly, welcoming, and will take the time to educate and inform you of all of your options. Patients throughout New York NY trust Fine Dental to replace their teeth in the way that helps them to accomplish their lifestyle goals. That means that Fine Dental will make a detailed recommendation about which direction you should go for replacing your missing teeth. Just remember that you can have a beautiful and natural looking smile by working with a professional implant dentist, and if you are suffering from missing teeth, we can help you by transforming your smile. Schedule an appointment and let us transform your smile into something as beautiful as you are.


For every 1,000 people living in the U.S., there are 797 cars. And according to TrueCar, about one million of those cars are luxury vehicles, which make up 15% of the U.S. auto market. So, yes, Americans really do love our cars. After all, we did invent them.
And the professional car brokers at Miami personal car concierges have seen every kind of auto lover. There's the speed freak, who's likely to be interested in the Lamborghini Murcielago (top speed: 211 miles per hour). There's the eco-conscious car lover, who wants the latest Tesla invention. There are brand loyalists, who want whatever BMW or Bentley happens to be working on at the moment.
But across the Atlantic, English exotic car buyers are going nuts over an unusual trend among luxury car brokers. While a luxury car concierge in Miami might help American buyers track down classic muscle cars or the most luxurious luxury automobile to ever roll off the test track, English luxury car brokers and auto buying services are catering to a particular emotion — paranoia.
The financial magazine claims the trend will quickly spread Stateside, too. Mark Burton works for International Armoring, a U.S. company that armors luxury automobiles, and he estimates the global market for "deluxe armored road-cars" is about 7,500 autos a year. Although, it seems that the specialty armor is nothing more than a status symbol for most wealthy buyers.
The head of a Texas firm that also specializes is transforming luxury cars into armored vehicles "says that 5% of his projects are for rich and famous people whose threat levels simply do not justify the armor plating." To prove the bullet proof glass and plating really works, the Texan lets his customers shoot at him while he sits in the car.
And you thought insurance couldn't get any higher on luxury cars.

Q: How to make a mob have a "hidden name" but have a different, visible name? I have an automated display in my freebuild world that spawns a shower of jeb_ (rainbow) sheep who die after 30 seconds. I summon them in and kill them with command blocks but are there any commands to spawn them with a "hidden" name and "visible" name?
e.g a sheep appears to be called Johnson to any players looking at it but has the rainbow effect of being called jeb_.

A: You can't do this, as the name "jeb_" is built into the game, and is not a command. An alternative I can suggest is repetitively changing the sheep's wool colour by killing the current colour and spawning the next colour after that one, and doing it over and over.
This, however, will break after the DataID removal in 1.13 as it is a major update to commands.

Great hoagies with their own secret sauce that made them famous.
: It seems Philadelphia is full of sandwich institutions, and this is one of them.

Twelve South Pacific islanders taken hostage by Somali pirates earlier this year have been released. The men were seized off the east African coast and have been set free after their employer reportedly paid a ransom.
Eleven crew members from the tiny South Pacific nation of Tuvalu and one from Fiji were abducted off the Horn of Africa in early April. They were captured along with sailors from Ukraine and Germany.
The kidnapping was part of a series of attacks on foreign vessels by well-armed Somali gunmen. The pirates reportedly demanded a ransom of $15 million. There are reports that the owners of the German vessel, the Hansa Stavanger, paid about $2.5 million in ransom, although the company has not confirmed this.
The plight of sailors caused immense anxiety in Tuvalu, an isolated nation of just 12,000 people in the Pacific Ocean north of Fiji.
About 40 percent of Tuvaluan men work on overseas freighters and their wages provide valuable income for their families back home.
Reverend Tafue Lusama, a Tuvalu clergyman, says there will be great relief that the men are on the way home.
"They have been held for around five months now and that is a very long time for our people to be held hostage. In the past five months our country - everyone in our country - has been on their toes praying and hoping and doing everything possible to get them released. Now they are being released, I just simply thank God for that," said Lusama.
There have been more than 130 pirate attacks on foreign ships off the Somali coast this year despite increased patrols by various international governments, including the United States, France and Australia.
It is unclear how much ransom money has been paid by shipping companies to free abducted crews and seized vessels.
Negotiations are often carried out in secrecy to avoid compromising the safety of hostages.
In Tuvalu, large celebrations are expected to greet the sailors when they return to their homes.

Your question: What is kayak touring?
Whats the difference between a touring and recreational kayak?
What are touring kayaks used for?
What's the difference between a sea kayak and a touring kayak?
Should I get a touring kayak?
How do I choose a touring kayak?
How much is a touring kayak?
Can you use a touring kayak in the sea?
How far out to sea can you go in a kayak?
Is a 10 ft kayak big enough?
Which kayak is most stable?
Recreational kayaks are shorter and wider than touring or expedition boats. Their width makes them feel reassuringly stable, which is nice for new paddlers. And they have higher decks that offer more interior room and a drier ride in waves.
They are designed for longer trips and come equipped with storage for food and equipment, and hatches with lids that can be removed. Most likely, your touring kayak will be a sit-inside design. They are designed to track well in the water and some will have a skeg or a rudder.
Pros: The sea kayak is easier to control, tracks straighter, and is less likely to be swamped by waves than a standard touring kayak. … It's higher rocker makes it less maneuverable on flat water, while it's narrow profile makes it less stable than a standard touring kayak.
Touring kayaks are built for speed and distance. Kayakers often use them for racing or long journeys on the river or sea. A touring kayak can be an exciting way to navigate large bodies of water. If you're close to an ocean, river or lake launch point, you could get extensive use out of a touring kayak.
IT IS INTERESTING: Your question: How hard is Wakesurfing?
A touring kayak is typically 14ft and up. Keep in mind that the longer and narrower a kayak is the more efficient it becomes. But there is a trade off there. Length adds efficiency and capacity but decreases maneuverability, and a narrow boat may be quick but a narrower a boat is the less stable and has less room.
Depending on the type of kayak you want (or need, based on what you want to do with the kayak) will determine how much you spend. For the most part however, you should expect to spend between $150 and $6o0 for a kayak.
Type of Kayak
Fishing Kayak $300
White Water Kayak $1,095
Touring Kayak $1,925
With an average length of around 10-12 foot, they are great for exploring and undertaking short journeys on rivers, lakes, canals, estuaries, harbours and on the sea.
Well, such a paddler can be reasonably expected to operate a kayak with a 12-foot waterline at an average speed of approximately 2.25 miles per hour. This equates to a 26 minute mile. It further maps to a 5-hour distance of 11.25 miles and a 10-hour distance of 22.5 miles.
If you're relatively new to kayaking and you plan to paddle primarily on calm lakes or slow-moving rivers, a 10-foot kayak is a great place to get started. This length is also good for recreational kayakers that like to bring a small furry companion with them out on the water.
IT IS INTERESTING: Can you Wakesurf behind a sterndrive?
Pontoon hulls are the most stable kayak hull type and they provide great primary stability. Calm water, sit-on-top recreational kayaks and fishing kayaks use pontoon hulls for their excellent stability. The disadvantage of Pontoon hulls is that they're slow and lack maneuverability.
