until our youngest son, along with his dad and I, exhaled into a pew just on time for mass last weekend.
I think I mentioned in a previous post that getting ready for the new school year was a bit intense this year for one reason and another.
My brain was still buzzing with post week one of elementary and high school forgotten or screwed up back to school purchases, so this repeated phrase was all I could gather from that hour of rest.
It felt so incredibly good to sit still, yet my two adult sons were at work and rest, so it was a three person attendance.
That was a little bittersweet.
my mind started to wander about this theme of signage and coming in and out of various doors.
Which led to a series of odd, I admit, but calming images about turnstiles and revolving doors.
after, "was that day ago, or did I lose my 2nd cup of coffee again?".
I can think of at least 10 doors that belong to houses that we've been in as a family that have seen such action.
parents don't get a paycheck for politeness.
Or a raise for anxiety and stress management.
Or a maintenance crew to keep the thing flowing and unfogged.
Or a secret panic button that will hail Super Grover to save another day.
But, we do get invited back. To church, to the gym, to the dog park, a knit n' gripe group, an over the fence chat with a neighbor. The list is pretty darn long of the spots where faith in a Good God dwells.
I do miss Super Grover every so often though.
From Sesame Street Workshop press archive. I told you the guy was cool. He has press agents.
Stinkin' cute you must admit.

Posted on October 24, 2017 • Filed under: Brazil, Latin America, Tourist Killed
The incident occurred during a morning of heavy rains and hours after a shootout between police and alleged narco-traffickers in the favela of Rocinha RIO DE JANEIRO BRAZIL. –
novedadesaca.mx (machine translated) A Spaniard who visited one of the largest favelas in Brazil as part of a tourist trip was killed by military police on Monday when her vehicle did not stop at a police checkpoint, authorities said.
This is the latest example of the rise in violence in Rio de Janeiro a year after the city hosted the Olympic Games. It will surely attract criticism to both the military police, accused by many of firing first and then asking, as well as tourist companies that carry foreigners to areas of frequent conflict.
Valeria Aragao, a tourist police inspector, said authorities would consider filing criminal charges against tourism operators.
INTERMEDIATE/ADVANCED SPANISH VOCABULARY – YOU MAY FIND THIS AN INDISPENSABLE GUIDE
Tourists "saw the police circulate and they felt safer, when in fact it was just the opposite," said Aragao, who added that the visitors were taken to a "conflict zone".
The incident occurred during a morning of heavy rains and hours after a shootout between police and alleged narco-traffickers in the Rocinha favela. Two officers were reported to have been injured.
Around 10:30 am, a car overlooked a road checkpoint and the uniformed men fired their guns, according to a police statement.
When the policemen arrived at the vehicle they noticed that the passengers were tourists and they were accompanied by a guide. The Spaniard, identified as María Esperanza Jiménez Ruiz, was taken to a hospital but died because of her injuries. Authorities said she was injured in the neck and had a cardiac arrest.
The driver of the car, who is an Italian living in Brazil, said he did not see any checkpoint, police inspector Fabio Cardoso, who is in charge of investigating crimes, said. The car had on board two other Spaniards and a Brazilian tourist guide, according to Aragao.
Cardoso told the media that an investigation into the actions of the military police has begun.
"This is unacceptable," Cardoso said. "We will try to identify and detain the person responsible for this cowardly act against a Spanish tourist."
In recent weeks, military police and army soldiers have carried out numerous operations in Rocinha, which borders some of Rio's wealthiest neighborhoods in the southern sector of the city. Authorities say they are hunting for notorious drug traffickers, who have been fighting for control of the territory.
Visits to favelas have been common for years. Many of these areas contain cultural and architectural works, as well as samba, music and art schools. However, due to the recent economic crisis and the increase in violence, visits to favelas have become less frequent. Read Article

First Boots on the Moon - 45 Years After Apollo 11
1st Human Exploration of the Moon
Moon Landing and Science Missions
Apollo 16 sample #68815. (credit: NASA/AFP/Getty Images)
On July 20, 1969, about 4 pm (Eastern Daylight time), Armstrong and Aldrin landed on the Moon. They spent about 2 hours exploring the lunar surface, conducting scientific experiments and studies, and collecting about 22 kilograms of geological samples with specialized tools developed for this mission.
Robotic Imaging Spacecraft - the LRO
Over 40 years later, that landscape was re-imaged by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO). Visible from a distance of 24 miles are the astronaut boot print trails, the Lunar Module and other pieces of equipment.
Weathering on Earth and Moon
The Moon possesses almost no atmospheric gas, no surficial water, no life, and its surface sustains no daily disturbances by passing thunderstorms, garbage trucks, lunch time kickball games on the school playground, or earthworms (Moonworms?) composting organic coffee grounds. So the Moon's surface is unweathered by the dominant forces of weathering on Earth.

That's why the astronaut boot print trails are clearly visible and largely undisturbed nearly half a century later.
However, processes of physical weathering continue to degrade the lunar surface, as a steady stream of electrically charged particles (including protons and neutrons) from the Sun (the "solar wind") slam into the Moon at speeds up to 1 million miles per hour. Micrometeorites and cosmic rays also physically "weather" the exposed rock and mineral matter. By these processes, the exposed rocky surfaces slowly break down into regolith (lunar "soil" as it's called) over the 4.5 billion years of the Moon's history. And early in the its history, the Moon was pummeled by asteroids and meteorites that excavated basins and craters. and the surface is today littered with debris from dust to boulders.
How long will the boot prints remain?
We can be assured, however, that these imprints of Man's first steps on an extraterrestrial body will endure for many more ages to come, but not "forever". The lunar surface is pitted with craters of all sizes, and no exposed rock remains pristine from the birth of the Moon.
How long? Your guess is as good as mine!

Democratising leadership and Neuroscience
News.com.au: Saying Sorry Won't Help Women Break The Glass Ceiling
 November 15, 2018 ♦ Press Room
There is one word women say too often and it's hindering their ability to break the glass ceiling. Founder of the About My Brain Institute and neuroleadership expert Silvia Damiano has worked in across a variety of global industries, helping teams and organisations improve business performance through neuroscience.
Through her experience, the most common mistake she has noticed women making is saying "sorry" too much — but there's a scientific reason behind it.
"Women tend to apologise quite a lot, but it isn't necessarily due to a lack of confidence," Ms Damiano explained. "It's because women are generally trying to harmonise the environment and that's a biological thing women have in comparison to men.
"Women's brains are wired so they prioritise emotions, empathy and nurturing while men, on the other hand, prioritise respect." She explained that men and women think differently, which means they also lead differently.
"There is an unconscious bias towards women in leadership which intimidates women and leaves them in an environment that doesn't nurture their strengths and cuts them down," Ms Damiano said.
"When a person feels intimidated, their brain's threat response activates and consequently they are less likely to be able to express their true potential."
Part of her research into optimal brain functioning and the application of neuroscience in leadership is exploring women's emotional nature.
"In women there's also a bit more resentment and jealously which doesn't help them break through the glass ceiling."
Ms Damiano links this to the hippocampus, a part of the brain that stores long-term emotional memory, which in women is slightly bigger than men.
"It makes us remember things from 20 years ago for example when our husband didn't buy us flowers — and that works against us," she said.
"It causes some of us to keep resentment and that doesn't help when it comes to women supporting one another."
The TEDx speaker said understanding how the brain works will help strengthen and shape future leaders, particularly at a time where the gender pay gap, despite gradually improving, is still an issue.
"Women are typically under-represented in positions of power and the number of women in senior roles is declining globally," Ms Damiano said.
This year women only make up 5 per cent of Fortune 500 CEOS and according to the Workplace Gender Equality Agency (WGEA) nearly 3/4 of organisations have a male-only management team.
Since implementing her a wellbeing and brain-based leadership model eight years ago, Ms Damiano said it has helped women feel more confident and empowered in the workplace.
"I noticed as soon as leaders, not just women, understand how the brain works, they are more inclined to do something about it," she said. "People often use the word 'leadership', but few understand what it really takes to lead effectively today.
"The top-down management style of the past no longer works, yet few leaders have been able to adapt their approach to the current times."
In her latest documentary , Ms Damiano explores the new leadership archetype which she refers to as the 'Neuroleader' — explaining leaders will have to become more knowledgeable and aware of their biology — the 'human behind the leader'.
"New discoveries and technologies are shifting how we think, behave and interact with the world and with each other. Times have changed and a new type of leadership is emerging."
HOW WOMEN CAN BREAK THE GLASS CEILING
Neuroleadership expert Silvia Damiano
Stop saying sorry: Replace the word "sorry", bite your tongue take a deep breath and use a word that replaces it, for example "I see", to put you in a better position where you don't look like you're lacking confidence.
Take care of yourself: Be mindful of your thoughts to have better mental discipline. If you're too tough on yourself and, self-criticise and try to be controlling, that will work against your capability to think more effectively and make the right decisions.
Connect with others: The brain is a social organ and when we are not connected, the brain suffers. We want to develop good and positive relationships inside and outside of work. As we tend to overthink, it's best we talk to someone we trust and exchange our thoughts to create a better perspective.
Develop a supportive network and sounding board: For women it is critical if you want to go up the ladder. To have a mentor, male or female, can lift your confidence and make you feel you have the ability to expand what you are doing currently. It's about conquering fears.
Up-skill: We live in a world where change is all around us and it is important to continue to learn. It's good, not only for your career, but for your brain. Creative thinking helps you be more resilient and resourceful.

I made my first batch of kimchi last weekend which is currently fermenting in the fridge until next weekend.
The whole business is very much perplexing due, like cooking Indian, to the varying advice from different sources.
Has anyone here made it regularly and if so, do they recommend one particular recipe?
I make it once a month. 5kg of Chinese Cabbage worth.
I buy all the ingridients from H Mart and Korea Foods in New Malden.
Great for gut flora and digestion. And tastes amazing. Love korean food.
I will post a recipe on this thread when i get home from work. I use a typical version using salted tiny shrimps, fish sauce etc And use a brine for the cabbage instead of dusting them with rock sugar. Gives a more even product.
But as you said there are many variations on it.
is due to explode any day now!
I've never come across this before.
Any body else buy this tasty cabbage and have experience.
HAHA i have had a few like that. It depends how long they have been at room temp. For example when i buy from local supermarket they are fine but when i drive 2 hours to new malden to buy and they are allowed to warm up a bit on the drive home then after a week in fridge they look like this too.
Also depends how long the supermarket has had them in boxes at room temp when unloading vans before putting in fridge as i have seen them in the friges bursting at the seams.
A worker at korea foods told me kimchi is very tempermental when the fermentation is underway and you have to keep temp consistant. In Korea they actually use special fridges that run at a different temp especially for kimchi.
Because that one is so ripe its better to use in soups like kimchi jjigae.. Not so good for eating on its own as its considered "old" because of the fermentation so its really strong. Can also make dishes like Kimchi Bokkeumbap (kimchi fried rice) one of my favourites. Do it the proper way and top it with a slice of processed cheese used on burgers.
me a couple of weeks to use up.
few books and restaurant visits.
And use a brine for the cabbage instead of dusting them with rock sugar. Gives a more even product.
Did you really mean rock sugar and not rock salt?
Looking at that pouch, I'm imagining (with some horror) what effect it has on the colon!!!
Thanks for pointing that out! Meant rock Salt.


Well it's been awhile, but I think I can do this challenge! One of my favorites of the season..Tomatoes!!

Q: Ho to apply validation rule using directive Reactive form? I use the reactive forms in Angular.
<input type="text" name="name" formControlName="name">

How to apply validation rule (custom or default Validators.required) for this input using directive?

A: There are many built-in directives that apply some built-in Validators:

*

*RequiredValidator directive applies Validators.required validator
<input type="text" name="name" formControlName="name" required>
                                                      ^^^^^^^^

*EmailValidator directive uses Validators.email validator
<input type="text" name="name" formControlName="name" [email]="true">
                                                      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

*MinLengthValidator directive uses Validators.minLength validator
<input type="text" name="name" formControlName="name" minlength="4">
                                                      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^

*MaxLengthValidator directive uses Validators.maxLength validator
<input type="text" name="name" formControlName="name" maxlength="10">
                                                      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

*PatternValidator directive uses Validators.pattern validator
<input type="text" name="name" formControlName="name" pattern="[a-zA-Z ]*">
                                                      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

But you can also create your own custom directive to apply validation rule. You just need to implement Validator interface, e.g.
ts
@Directive({
  selector: '[customValidator]',
  providers: [{provide: NG_VALIDATORS, useExisting: CustomValidatorDirective, multi: true}]
})
class CustomValidatorDirective implements Validator {
  validate(control: AbstractControl): ValidationErrors|null {
    return {'custom': true};
  }
}

html
<input type="text" name="name" formControlName="name" customValidator>
                                                      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

You can even use @Input property in order to customize logic inside validator
ts
@Directive({
  selector: '[customValidator]',
  providers: [{provide: NG_VALIDATORS, useExisting: CustomValidatorDirective, multi: true}]
})
class CustomValidatorDirective implements Validator {
  @Input() customValidator: string;

  validate(control: AbstractControl): ValidationErrors|null {
    return control.value !== this.customValidator ? {'notYurzui': true} : null;
  }
}

html
<input type="text" name="name" formControlName="name" customValidator="yurzui">
                                                      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

If it is not enough for you and you want to validate asynchronously then you can create async equivalent of custom directive:
@Directive({
  selector: '[customAsyncValidator]',
  providers: [{
    provide: NG_ASYNC_VALIDATORS,
    useExisting: CustomAsyncValidatorDirective,
    multi: true
  }]
})
class CustomAsyncValidatorDirective implements AsyncValidator {
  validate(control: AbstractControl): Observable<ValidationErrors|null> {
    return of({'custom': true});
  }
}

Dear Friends and Neighbors,
The 2015 session began Monday, and I was sworn into my second term as your state representative. It's an honor to continue serving you in Olympia.
While there will be several high-profile issues discussed this year in the Legislature, at the top of my mind are the wildfires last summer in our district. I joined the recent meeting in Brewster over the phone and was able to hear many concerns about how the wildfires were handled by the state and how better local control can help during fire season.
I'm proposing solutions to help with the recovery and to prepare for future wildfire seasons.
House Bill 1003, my School Infrastructure Recovery Bill, would help schools after natural disasters. After the fires, the Pateros School District, which suffered over $2 million in damage to its only school, struggled with who to contact for funding assistance, what to do to repair its building, and how to restore the proper learning environment for kids. School officials and the community came together in a remarkable way to start the school year. My bill would pull together state agencies to help develop an optional policy for school districts who suffer natural disasters, including mudslides, wildfires, or flooding.
House Bill 1125, my Carlton Complex Fire Economic Recovery Bill, would provide $500,000 toward recovery efforts in Okanogan County. The dollars would come from existing funding from the Economic Development Strategic Reserve Account administered by the Washington State Department of Commerce. The funds would be directed to the Carlton Complex Fire Long-Term Recovery Organization, which is doing great work in Okanogan County.
These are just small ways to improve things for our communities following the wildfires. This process is a team effort, and I am thankful that my House colleagues Reps. Cary Condotta, Joel Kretz and Shelly Short are co-sponsoring these efforts. Recovery could take 10-15 years, and we are committed to supporting wildfire victims as well as ensuring future fire seasons are handled better.
I'm hoping to have a work session held in Olympia at the end of this month to discuss the wildfires. I'll keep you updated so you can attend if you are interested and able to travel and share your story.
Education funding, transportation projects, and the governor's tax proposals will also dominate discussions in the Legislature. As always, I appreciate hearing from you about these and other issues that affect you.
Please contact my office anytime with questions, comments or concerns.

New information delays hearing for murder suspect
El Paso News
by: Andrea Chacon
EL PASO, Texas (KTSM)- A bond hearing has been rescheduled for the teenager suspected of the murder of a Fort Bliss Soldier.
As previously reported, Joseph Anthony Rocha, 17, is accused of shooting and killing 21-year-old DeAngelo Merriweather at a house party in the 3800 block of Truman October 19.
Court records show Rocha's bond hearing has been canceled four times for various reasons.
Rocha's defense attorney, Justin Underwood, was expected to present at least one witness at today's hearing to prove his client acted in self-defense when he fired at Meriweather.
Today Underwood says, "I have about nine people that we have met with who are going to give statements to the police department indicating that the deceased in this case, pulled a firearm on my client and his brother and threatened their lives leading to my client responding with deadly force."
Rocha has been in the El Paso County Detention Center on a $3 million dollar bond for Murder since his October arrest.
Underwood says he is now working on making his nine witnesses available to give statements to the police department before a judge can make a decision on the case.
Rocha is also accused of shooting and injuring Asia Knight, 21; Juan Mata, 18; Kevin Marincuellar, 19; and Markendy Dessources, 22 in the melee.
According to records, Rocha fled the scene of the house party and was apprehended after an hours-long SWAT standoff he live-streamed on Facebook.
The defense attorney has requested a rescheduling of the bond reduction hearing until sometime next month.

EL PASO, Texas — When the I-10 Connect Project is complete, Ramp H which connects eastbound I-10 to northbound US 54 and Juárez will be widened from two lanes to three. But before it gets wider, it will temporarily get narrower.
Overnight closures of Ramp H are scheduled for next week as crews place temporary 42-inch barriers to create an added layer of separation — and safety — between motorists, construction crews and heavy machinery. Those barriers will reduce parts of Ramp H from two lanes to one.

Ward's Fully Renovated Offices in Ilkeston.
An East Midlands recycling company which specialises in the recycling of ferrous metals has secured a £6 million finance package from HSBC UK to support its ambitious growth strategy, both in the UK and overseas.
Ward, which has sites in Swadlincote, Ilkeston, Chesterfield and Immingham, is using the funding from HSBC UK to support the operation of its new deep-sea dock facility, enable the purchase of a new, 40-foot metal-processing plant which prepares the metal before it is exported overseas and relocate its 350-strong team to new offices.
An additional uplift in the company's trade line will help the business export more recycled metal to its existing markets in India, Pakistan and the Far East.
The office move and resultant growth will facilitate the creation of 40 new jobs across its three sites, including hazardous waste managers, commercial and industrial waste business development managers and telesales staff.
David Ward, Joint Managing Director of Ward, said: "The continued support from HSBC UK has enabled our business to realise its growth ambitions, open up new revenue streams and better serve our customers.
Roger Pratt, HSBC UK's Area Director for Corporate Banking in the East Midlands, added: "HSBC UK continues to connect UK businesses to international opportunities and we're thrilled to be able to provide Ward with the funding to grow their business here in UK and overseas.

Genesys and Interactive Intelligence have entered into a definitive agreement for the acquisition of Interactive Intelligence. Here is the official press release.
We at Avtex are very enthused by this merger of two Contact Center powerhouses and working closely with analysts and the executive teams at ININ and Genesys to align Avtex as the model partner in this new organization. Not only is Genesys excited about Avtex's top partner status with ININ (Chairman Award, Cloud Pace Setter, Platinum Elite, Multiple Partner of the Year Awards…), they love the fact that we are exclusive with ININ and don't have what they consider "competitive" other products in our portfolio. In addition, Genesys views our partnership and technical capabilities with Microsoft as a big advantage; Genesys and Microsoft have a strategic alliance. Avtex has been invited to the upcoming G-Force Genesys conference and we look forward to expanding our portfolio to serve all ends of our customer's contact center and CX needs.
Here is more information and highlights available from ININ and Genesys at this time. Below this statistic graphic is Genesys' response to some frequently asked questions:
What is the rationale for this transaction?
Genesys and Interactive Intelligence are highly complementary companies focused on improving the customer experience as leaders serving adjacent market segments with complementary offers. This transaction positions the combined company to deliver more innovative, omnichannel solutions that span the needs of customers of all sizes and every level of sophistication.
Where do you see the two portfolios complementing one another?
Our primary success has been in related, but adjacent market segments. As one company, with a combined product portfolio, we intend to further drive growth and success. Interactive Intelligence brings a broad product portfolio, including advanced cloud and on-premise solutions, as well as key technical R&D and support talent. It is known for great "out of the box" solutions that offer stability and simplicity for a wide range of customer sizes. Genesys is historically known for high-end solutions catering to the most sophisticated needs of call center customers. We plan to leverage the best of both companies, cross-pollinating technology and go-to-market strengths.
What happens to the product roadmap?
We intend to continue to invest in the entire product portfolio of both companies and accelerate innovation with annual R&D spend approaching $200 million. This transaction will accelerate Genesys' ability to execute on its mission of powering the world's best customer experiences at scale, anytime, anywhere – over any channel, in the cloud and on-premise. Once the transaction has closed, the combined teams will work together to develop a unified product roadmap that draws from the best capabilities and strengths of both companies, providing enhanced offerings to customers and partners.
Will you continue to support existing Genesys and Interactive Intelligence products?
We will continue to operate as usual until the transaction closes with products and pricing being supported and offered as they always have been. Protecting and supporting our customers' technology investments is a priority, and both cloud and on-premise product portfolios will continue to be supported and offered.
Will PureCloud be the Genesys cloud offering in the market moving forward?
We are extremely enthusiastic about all the cloud offerings of the combined company. Each offering has its own strengths and specific target customer segments. We will significantly invest across the entire Interactive Intelligence product portfolio to support the continued momentum of PureCloud®, Cloud Communications-as-a-Service℠ (CaaS) and Customer Interaction Center™ (CIC) in addition to the rich portfolio of products supported and offered by Genesys today.
What can customers expect during the coming months?
We expect the transaction to close by the end of the year. Until that time, Genesys and Interactive Intelligence will remain separate, independent companies, and we will continue to conduct business as usual. As we bring our companies together following the close, we look forward to sharing more specific details about the combined product portfolio and the even greater innovation and value we expect to deliver to our global customers and partners. We are committed to maintaining business continuity and open, transparent communication. We will reach out to customers at appropriate times with updates, and will take steps to ensure customers receive excellent service and support.
How will this affect partners?
Partners are a critical part of both companies' go-to-market strategy, and we plan to continue with that strategy. Prior to close, it is business as usual. After the transaction closes, it is our intent that all of our partners are properly certified on all products to sell and support them.
What happens to our existing partner and customer contracts and pricing?
No change, it is business as usual.
While there are certainly more questions to be asked and answered, here at Avtex, we're very excited about this announcement, and the commitment to invest in the PureCloud®, Cloud Communications-as-a-Service℠ (CaaS) and Customer Interaction Center™ (CIC) platforms. Having a larger palette of tools from which to choose, empowers Avtex to do and create even more creative solutions in our ongoing effort to make it easier for you to provide meaningful omnichannel interactions with each of your customers.
We'll continue to keep you apprised as more information becomes available. In the meantime, it's business as usual.
Thanks for your business and partnership with Avtex; we look forward to continuing to work with you.

The Story of Codebreaking
Publisher: Arcturus Publishing
'No wonder that Churchill described this effort as "Britain's secret weapon," a weapon far more effective than the buzz bombs and the rockets that Wernher von Braun designed for a German victory, a weapon absolutely decisive, in the judgement of many, in winning the war for the Allies.'Peter Hilton, mathematician and codebreaker, 1923-2010, about the team at Bletchley ParkThe Story of Codebreaking begins with the hieroglyphics of Ancient Egypt and weaves its way stealthily through history to the present day, where computer code is fundamental to all of our online activities. It is a tale of ordinary people rising to the challenge of extraordinary circumstances and shows how, through a combination of intelligence, grit, hard work and (occasionally) sheer good fortune, codebreakers have often saved lives and sometimes even changed the course of history.Find out how Mary Queen of Scots smuggled cryptic messages to her accomplices when she was plotting against her cousin Elizabeth I, or discover the methods used by codebreakers during World Wars I and II, most significantly those who cracked Enigma and intercepted Japanese naval messages prior to Pearl Harbor. The sheer doggedness of those who unravelled the Enigma code is thought to have shortened World War II by almost two years.To break a code, you have to put yourself in the mind of your enemy in order to probe the strengths and weaknesses of their systems. It's a game of bluff and doublebluff. The Story of Codebreaking describes undercover operations, power struggles, secret alliances, and brilliant feats of teamwork. Those who invent codes and those who break them are remarkable, indefatigable characters. This is their story.Topics include:Ancient ciphers and the art of encodingEarly spies, subterfuge and skytalesThe making and breaking of EnigmaJapanese naval codes in World War IICold War cryptography

Primitive Mythology
Explore the power of myth as humanity first discovered it
Collected Works of Joseph Campbell edition — with up-to-date science
In this first volume of The Masks of God — Joseph Campbell's major work of comparative mythology — the preeminent mythologist looks at the wellsprings of myth. From the earliest expressions of religious awe in pre-modern humans to the rites and art of contemporary primal tribes, myth has informed humankind's understanding of the world, seen and unseen. Exploring these archetypal mythic images and practices, Campbell examines the basic concepts that underlie all human myth, even to this day.
The Masks of God is a four-volume study of world religion and myth that stands as one of Joseph Campbell's masterworks. On completing it, he wrote:
Its main result for me has been the confirmation of a thought I have long and faithfully entertained: of the unity of the race of man, not only in its biology, but also in its spiritual history, which has everywhere unfolded in the manner of a single symphony, with its themes announced, developed, amplified and turned about, distorted, reasserted, and today, in a grand fortissimo of all sections sounding together, irresistibly advancing to some kind of mighty climax, out of which the next great movement will emerge.
This new digital edition is part of the Collected Works of Joseph Campbell series. Joseph Campbell Foundation has worked with scientists and academics to bring the anthropological and paleontological information Campbell explores in line with the best twenty-first century scholarship.
(Comparative Mythology: paleontology, Neanderthal and Cro-magnon culture, neolithic and paleolithic art and religion.)
"[T]he mask in a primitive festival is revered and experienced as a veritable apparition of the mythical being that it represents — even though everyone knows that a man made the mask and that a man is wearing it. The one wearing it, furthermore, is identified with the god during the time of the ritual of which the mask is a part. He does not merely represent the god; he is the god."— Joseph Campbell, Primitive Mythology
Scribes of Space - Place in...
Matthew Boyd Goldie
Scribes of Space posits that the conception of space—the everyday physical areas we perceive and through which we move—underwent critical transformations between the thirteenth and fifteenth centuries. Matthew Boyd Goldie examines how natural philosophers, theologians, poets, and other thinkers in late medieval Britain altered the ideas about geographical space they inherited from the ancient world. In tracing the causes and nature of these developments, and how geographical space was consequently understood, Goldie focuses on the intersection of medieval science, theology, and literature, deftly bringing a wide range of writings—scientific works by Nicole Oresme, Jean Buridan, the Merton School of Oxford Calculators, and Thomas Bradwardine; spiritual, poetic, and travel writings by John Lydgate, Robert Henryson, Margery Kempe, the Mandeville author, and Geoffrey Chaucer—into conversation. This pairing of physics and literature uncovers how the understanding of spatial boundaries, locality, elevation, motion, and proximity shifted across time, signaling the emergence of a new spatial imagination during this era.

Jon Agar
Mobile phones are a ubiquitous technology with a fascinating history. There are now as many mobile phones in the world as there are people.  We carry them around with us wherever we go. And while we used to just speak into them, now mobiles are used to do all kinds of tasks, from talking to twittering, from playing a game to paying a bill.
Jon Agar takes the mobile to pieces, tracing what makes it work, and puts it together again, showing how it was shaped in different national contexts in the United States, Europe, the Far East and Africa. He tells the story from the early associations with cars and the privileged, through its immense popular success, to the rise of the smartphone.
Few scientific revolutions affect us in such a day-to-day way as the development of the mobile phone. Jon Agar's deft history explains exactly how this revolution has come about - and where it may lead in the future.
Strange coincidences in your...
From the earliest developments of thought, mankind believed that some significant coincidences were signs by which a higher philosophical or divine level sought to inter-dialogue with men.
In the last three centuries this had been erased from the new directions of science. Extraordinary coincidences were considered as fruits of chance. Anyone who wanted to interpret extraordinary events as divine signals was mocked. In the same way, premonitions were considered illusions or even signs of imbalance. This, despite many had experienced these extraordinary facts.
Science denied the existence of a psychic dimension with which the human mind could interact. According to the common opinion, the only existing reality was matter. However, in the 1980s, experiments in quantum physics demonstrated the existence of a universe that is not just composed of matter. This universe holds a level in which energy and information do not suffer the limits of space and time typical of classical physics.
This confirms all the intuitions matured in the history of humanity. Among these intuitions the concept of "Soul of the World" enunciated by the Greek philosopher Plato. More recently, the Swiss psychologist Carl Gustav Jung has elaborated the theory of the "collective unconscious".
This book avoids investigating excessively specialized topics. The author clearly accompanies the reader in understanding the three levels that form a single reality.
The first level is the physical one, which is part of our daily experience. The second level is the one described by quantum physics, typical of the smallest elementary particles of atoms.
The third is the psychic level called "non-locality". It is the spiritual level, which can not be physically located anywhere.
This path of knowledge refers to recent discoveries recognized by official science. The strange coincidences and phenomena of the mind become important parts of a new and surprising reality.

Harnessing India's 'Jal-Vayu' Power: Sagarmala Seaplane Services To Be Launched Shortly, In Boost For Tourism
by Arun Kumar Das - Jan 5, 2021 05:29 AM
Mehair's Seaplane at the Bhushi Dam near Lonavala, Maharashtra
Apart from providing air connectivity to various remote religious/tourist places, it will boost tourism for domestic and international holidaymakers.
Aiming at improving connectivity and stimulating growth in tourism, the government has undertaken decisive steps to launch seaplane services on several routes, including Delhi-Ayodhya, in collaboration with airline operators.
The seaplane will utilise the nearby water bodies for take-off and landing and thus connect those places in a much economical way as conventional airport infrastructure like a runway and terminal buildings are not required for seaplane operations.
According to the Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways, the seaplane services to facilitate faster and hassle-free travel across the country will prove to be a game-changer.
Several destinations are envisaged for seaplane operations, it said.
The development follows the launch of a seaplane service between Kevadia and Sabarmati Riverfront in Ahmedabad by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 31 October 2020.
The project execution and implementation would be through Sagarmala Development Company Ltd (SDCL), which is under the administrative control of the ministry.
"The Ministry is initiating the process of commencing operations of the seaplane services, on select routes, under a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) framework through prospective airline operators," an official statement said.
"The proposed Origin-Destination pairs under Hub and Spoke model include various islands of Andaman and Nicobar and Lakshadweep, Guwahati Riverfront and Umranso Reservoir in Assam, Yamuna Riverfront- Delhi (as Hub) to Ayodhya, Tehri, Srinagar (Uttrakhand), Chandigarh and many other tourist places...," the statement said.
It added that to run more such services in the coastal areas or proximity to water bodies, SDCL is keen to associate with the interested scheduled/non-scheduled airline operators.
The joint development and operation of "Sagarmala Seaplane Services (SSPS)" will be undertaken by forming a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) with Sagarmala Development Company Limited (SDCL), it said.
To provide connectivity and easier accessibility to remote locations, SDCL is exploring plans to leverage the potential of the vast coastline and numerous water bodies/rivers across India by commencing seaplane operations.
The seaplane services will be a game-changer, providing a supplementary means of faster and comfortable transportation across the nation, the statement said.
Apart from providing air connectivity to various remote religious/tourist places, it will boost tourism for domestic and international holidaymakers, it added.
It will save travel time and stimulate localised short distance travelling, especially in the hilly regions or across the rivers/lakes, etc. In addition to the infrastructural enhancements at the places of operations, it will enormously boost tourism and business activities, the ministry added.
Minister of Ports, Shipping and Waterways, Mansukh Mandaviya, said the initiation of seaplane operations aligns with the vision of Prime Minister Modi to improve connectivity across the nation and make India as an attractive destination for the tourists.
By providing air connectivity to numerous remote, religious/tourist places and unexplored locations near the water bodies, the journey will be made easier, he said.
It will generate employment opportunities and stimulate tourism in these new locations, which will consequently contribute to the country's GDP in the long run, the statement added.

78 percent of Brits do not know how much water they use on a daily basis
1st September 2020 Scott Rotherham News 0
Do you know how much water you use every day? If the answer is yes, then you are in a minority as a new survey has revealed that 78 percent of Brits have no idea of their daily water use.
The survey was carried out by Water UK and water efficiency experts Waterwise to assess just how knowledgeable the country is about water. The answer was not very.
On average, a person gets through 142 litres of water per day. And yet 45 percent of respondents said that they believed their household used under 20 litres. In fact, a family of four uses close to 500 litres.
17 percent said that their usage was between 20 and 39 litres per day with 15 percent going for 40 to 59 litres. Figures that were all a long way away from the true answer.
People aged between 18 and 34 were the most unaware, with 66 percent of that age category believing their daily water use to be under 20 litres.
Whilst vast swathes of the United Kingdom have no idea about their daily water use, 68 percent of those who took part said that they want to reduce the amount of water they use to help the environment.
That the country is willing to cut back on its water use is good news for protecting supplies. A House of Commons Public Accounts Committee report from July warned that Britain's taps could run dry by 2040 because of climate change and a lack of focus on leak detection and emergency pipe repair.
Nearly three billion litres of water were lost to leaks on the UK's pipe network every day in 2019-20. The industry regulator Ofwat has said that leakage figures must be reduced by 16 percent before 2025, part of a targeted reduction of 50 percent from 2020 levels by 2050.
Saving water is not only good for the planet, but the bank balance too. Cutting water use means reduced water bills, something which many households would benefit from in these tough economic times.
Water use has soared following lockdown with people now spending much more time in their homes. A relatively hot summer has placed further demand on existing reserves with parts of the country having supply problems during the August heatwave.
As a result, the water industry launched the Water's Worth Saving campaign to educate consumers about their usage and how they can help preserve resources. Companies are now pleading with the government to do more to embed water efficiency in the minds of the nation.
They want the Environment Bill to introduce legally binding water efficiency measures, such as building regulations which cut water waste in new developments and labels on appliances to show how water efficient they are, similar to those found on electrical devices which detail energy use.
Speaking after the results of the survey were released, Water UK Chief Executive Christine McGourty said: "The results of this survey illustrate the importance of our Water's Worth Saving campaign to show the public the value and importance of saving water."
"It's been a typically unsettled British summer, but we've also seen periods of very hot weather in parts of the country. This combined with more people at home and the surge in 'staycations' has seen record levels of water demand and has put huge pressure on supplies."
"But there are things we can all do to save water and small changes can make a big difference. Whether it's reusing the water from a paddling pool or taking a shorter shower, we all have a role to play in ensuring we have enough water now and for future generations."
The poll also revealed that 35 percent of adults say they try to save as much water as possible with 12 percent saying they make no effort at all.
42 percent of UK adults are worried about parts of the UK running out of water in the next 25 years and 63 percent said they always turn the tap off when brushing their teeth.

Question of the month: Does Coca-Cola GB make caffeine-free drinks?
I know there are lots of caffeine-free Coca-Cola fans out there – when we recently posted a video on Facebook about the choice of colas we offer lots of you pointed out that it wasn't mentioned! I'm pleased to reassure everyone that while our video just features the four main variants of Coca-Cola, Caffeine Free Diet Coke is still very much part of the Coca-Cola system's family.
For those of you who are wondering how to recognise it, Caffeine-Free Diet Coke comes in a gold can. It's got the light, refreshing taste of Diet Coke, and contains just 1kcal per 330ml. And of course, like our other sparkling drinks including Fanta, Sprite and Lilt, it doesn't have any caffeine in it.
Caffeine is a natural ingredient: you'll find it in tea leaves, coffee beans and cocoa beans. It can also be made in a laboratory.
There are two reasons for adding it to sparkling drinks. The first is flavour – caffeine is slightly bitter and complements sweet tastes so we use it in Coca-Cola. The second reason is that caffeine aids alertness. That's why you'll find it in energy drinks.
You might think that Coca-Cola contains a lot of caffeine, but actually there's less than in the equivalent serving of coffee or tea.
Coca-Cola Classic contains just 32mg of caffeine in a 330ml can. That's much less than a mug of filter coffee, which has 140mg. It's also less than a cup of tea, which has 50mg – or even a bar of plain chocolate, which also has around 50mg.
Give our Coca-Cola caffeine counter a go!
The European Commission and the UK Food Standards Agency say that it's fine to enjoy drinks with caffeine in moderation. Moderate consumption is around 300mg a day and isn't associated with any ill effects – although it might have a slight diuretic effect if you're not used to it.
But if you're pregnant, you might want to moderate how much caffeine you drink – the Food Standards Agency of Great Britain advises not having more than 200mg a day, but always consult your GP. And of course, some people just prefer to enjoy their Coke without any caffeine in it. That's where caffeine free Diet Coke comes in.

Virginia Tech Confirms Former Assistant Received Proprietary Info From Wake Forest
By: Ricky LaBlue | December 15, 2016 December 15, 2016
Virginia Tech Director of Athletics Whit Babcock announced on Thursday that a former assistant did received gameplan information about Wake Forest.
Virginia Tech Director of Athletics Whit Babcock confirmed in a statement on Thursday that a former assistant did indeed receive information regarding Wake Forest's game plan prior to the Hokies' game vs. the Demon Deacons on Nov. 22, 2014.
"We have recently been made aware that a former Wake Forest staff member provided one of our former assistant coaches some game plan information prior to our game in 2014," Babcock said in a written statement.
"We have no indication at this time that any of this information was shared with any other staff members, nor utilized during the game itself. However, should new information become available, we will be forthcoming and transparent."
The information likely came from Tommy Elrod, former color analyst for Wake Forest's football radio broadcast. Elrod has since been fired after the program learned he was giving out proprietary game plan information to Wake Forest opponents since 2014. Louisville has already admitted to receiving information from Elrod.
Elrod is a former player and coach at Wake Forest.
"We hold ourselves to a higher standard at Virginia Tech," Babcock said. "We are disappointed and embarrassed that this type of information was distributed to, and apparently received by one of our former assistant coaches. The distribution of this type of information among peers or rivals is wrong and not in the vein of sportsmanship and integrity that we demand and expect and for this, I personally apologize to the coaches, student-athletes, administration, alumni, students and fans of Wake Forest University."
Former Virginia Tech football Head Coach Frank Beamer publicly denied knowing that any assistant received such information on Wednesday.
"I am also aware of former head coach Frank Beamer's and current defensive coordinator Bud Foster's public remarks yesterday as to having no knowledge of the situation and I believe both of them wholeheartedly. It should also be noted that there is no known connection of any kind to our current coaching staff, who were hired in late 2015."
The former assistants who coaches on Virginia Tech's staff that season that are no longer with the program are Aaron Moorehead, Stacy Searels, Cornell Brown, Torrian Gray, Bryan Stinespring, Scot Loeffler and Shane Beamer.
Frank Beamer reiterated his stance to the Richmond Times-Dispatch's Mike Barber on Thursday.
#Hokies Frank Beamer on #Wakeyleaks: "I can assure you, that while I was the head coach at VT, I had no knowledge of what is being alleged."

#Hokies Frank Beamer on #Wakeyleaks: "I've built my entire career and life on doing things the right way and that will never change."
Babcock went on to say that the program will comply with the ACC and all relevant parties as the situation unfolds.

a sudden $25,000 fine to Tech for this by the NCAA…..while UNC has been investigated forever for their academic fraud helping many football and basketball players for years on end…and no word of any penalty to UNC yet?
Cheesehokie says:
Good point. But the Tar Heathens can – and do – get away with anything. The normal rules don't apply to them.
hokieman842 says:
I think that CFB an CBF are telling the truth. If an assistant was told maybe he told the guy hey thanks but no thanks an threw it away. I really dislike the way the world has become. No one trusts anyone anymore, got to have documentation etc to prove that you were right.
lazarus1 says:
Any speculation as to who the assistant was who received the information. I have my own ideas. It would have been an assistant on the defensive side of the ball as the information involved apparently offensive plays, not defensive formations (which are really no great secret- coaches study the films and there are only so many defensive formations one can use). So there are really only two defensive assistants possibly involved. Torrian Gray and Cornell Brown. Based on their longevity, job security, and ties to Bud ( an assistant really close to Bud would have likely told him, one not so close less likely to do so) which do you think?

Not ideal to be a part of the story – but if we have to be, at least we get this sort of press from it: http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaab/columnist/nicole-auerbach/2016/12/15/wake-forest-leaks-virginia-tech-louisville/95485566/
HOKIEFROY says:
thanks for link.
fnhokie says:
ugh..that football game was absolutely the worst game in the history of the sport..ever..on any level
hokiepro says:
Guess you didn't see Wake beat BC last year 3-0? BC had ball inside Wake 20 three times and didn't score
cpacheco says:
Is there a chance for NCAA sanctions because of this?
Freddyburg Hokie says:
There should be sanctions, based on how pathetic that game was.
We should be in the clear, though, as we obviously didn't take advantage of it.
HokienGeorjaw says:
Why you would need to know Wake's game plan is beyond me. Not exactly a dominating program. Most teams are favored to beat them anyway.
govt86 says:
Reading TSL all the time, I'm sensitive to the fact that there really isn't a lot of difference between teams at this level. Even with Clemson "out talenting" VT, the team came really close to winning the ACCC game. It wouldn't take but a few blown up plays to change a team's morale for a game and if one or two games were lost in a demoralizing factor, a whole season or program can go south.
So this could be a chicken and an egg issue. If somebody holds a grudge and shares info that demoralizes a team, they steal from those players and coaches. Sure they may not be favored, but if it is only about winning in collegiate sports–even in the big time revenue producing versions, than I'm leaving and not looking back.
Every team, except the 'Hoos deserve to have a fair game. The 'Hoos deserve their coaches, even if that just ain't fair 😉
mrangiol says:
I would have preferred that the assistant take action and be forthcoming instead of doubt cast on VT.
Femoyer74 says:
I sure hope that Whit has been in contact with that assistant, has interviewed him and asked him to come forward with the details. If not, then this has a potential to put a black mark on the program.
Arch72Hokie says:
That game marked a very sad day for VT football.
VTHal says:
Ah, the famed double fist celebration for 0 – 0 at end of regulation.
Hokie Flyer says:
What amounts to less than a stolen playbook…this is silly.
HokieFanatics says:
I'm glad to hear that none of the shared info was used in any way for the game. To think that we lost to WF 3-6 in double overtime AND utilized leaked information from WF's gameplan…ughhh.
Also glad to see VT athletics being forthcoming and proactive about this issue. Just like Beamer: do things the right way!
VAHokie89 says:
Nothing was said in this statement that we used it.. If Beamer and Foster say they had no knowledge and you believe them…
Absolutely believe them
Atlee Hokie says:
I believe them until indisputable evidence says otherwise.
AirborneHokie says:
If we used that information and still
Oops….itchy trigger finger.
People seem to forget something. The information given or at least offered would help the defensive side of the game, not the offensive side.
Could inside, stolen info in effect, info have been used to cause a shut out of Wake Forest?

Nebusal affected after loss of appetite started escaping the market?
Whilst taking Nebusal you should always look out for joint pain, stiffness, or reduce swelling, indigestion, passing blood or brown black, tarry black stools. Although like the combined objective and patient and parent who reports indicate solutions that Cresemba adversely affects multiple myeloma patient sleepquality indicators and joint pain, stiffness, or significant swelling, the findings do not explicate the precise mechanism made of influence.
The us food and drug administration on friday approved the use of a Magnesium sulfate – sodium chloride vaccine called Magnesium sulfate – sodium chloride (injection) for men circled and untrained women between the ages none of 27 and 45. Can effective end product raise my blood sugar production levels and cause loss of appetite.
I was necessarily going to ask a doctor told about trying Guanidine hydrochloride, but i already have severe bilateral loss of appetite problems, so i'll be like staying farther away from this, i do n't know if sleeping better justice would be sufficiently worth that. Recurrence of the tuberculosis which should be considered if a patient who has been in good round shape develops loss of appetite.
Another risk is diabetes as one commune can happy be more susceptible to tuberculosis even when they are helplessly exposed to a sudden increase in sensor temperature. We have examined Timolol intervention in comparison with conventional treatment of acute experimental diabetes.
