Aero Tec Laboratories
Aero Tec Laboratories was founded in 1970 as a design and testing facility for "flexible composite" materials. Shortly thereafter, the firm broadened its scope to include the actual fabrication of end products from its own outstanding fiber/elastomer composites. From ambitious beginnings in engineered inflatables and crashworthy fuel cell bladders, ATL has further spread its technologies into compensators, accumulators, potable water vessels, self-healing ballistic tanks, space containerization, bulk storage bladders and scores of similar endeavors. The common thread among ATL's products is the seeming dichotomy of remarkable toughness and durability coupled with extreme light weight, high flexibility and compactness. Over its generation of growth, ATL USA has assembled an enviable legion of agents and distributors, plus a sister company in England, ATL UK, and a range of over 100 flex-composite materials. Today, ATL enjoys sales of both "catalog" and "custom" devices to prestigious clients in the world's top 40 industrialized nations.

Bloodclot – Souls
Raised and weaned on the hard streets of New York City, (back when the five boroughs were much more Taxi Driver) vocalist John Joseph's rage found an outlet in hardcore punk. As part of legendary band the Cro-Mags, he forever changed music's landscape and he continued to influence all things heavy with later bands Both Worlds, Bloodclot! (notice the exclamation mark) and his current project, Bloodclot. In terms of heaviness, latest album Souls takes things off the Richter Scale and those who like crossover in its purest definition; the thump of metal delivered with punk attitude and suss will find a spiritual home here.
After a brief, rather unsettling introduction, Souls gets straight down to business with the ferocious title-track, and form herein it's a white knuckle ride that rarely lets up over 20 blistering minutes. While some might bemoan the relative shortness of this album, the fact is that Bloodclot pack more into one song than most bands put into a career, and 'Souls' is bursting at the seams with chunky riffs, gnarly solos and, of course, John's sandpaper rasp. It's the equivalent of being continuously punched in the face by Tyson Fury, yet there's a strong groove present which makes it extremely mosh-able, and it's sure to cause all sorts of havoc previously only seen at Slayer concerts. And while I'm on the subject of Slayer, the riff that heralds 'War Castles' could easily have come from Seasons In The Abyss, and just like those unruly thrashers, it'll tear of your skin and gouge out your eyes.
Being a devotee of His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta, the Bhagavad Gitā informs every aspect of John Joseph's life, but not in a hippy-drippy, beads-and-bangles way. John's on a mission to save your soul, and to paraphrase Jimmy Greaves: "It's not a matter of life and death. It's more important than that". The rage against animal cruelty and social injustice that powered John's early career is still very much evident, and it seeps through every note of Souls. That attitude is best exemplified by the aptly-titled 'Relentless', a track that offers not a sliver of sonic redemption, and it's all the more powerful for it.
Those of us in the know always realised what a seminal band the Bad Brains were, but with Napalm Death and now Bloodclot covering their songs, hopefully the general populace will catch on. Brains' vocalist H.R. was a big influence on John, musically and spiritually, so you get the feeling that he's repaying a few roots on a spirited version of 'How Low Can A Punk Get?'. It makes for a cataclysmic conclusion, and one you won't forget in a hurry.

As per the recent report published by the Unicef "Nourishing India's Tribal Children" – India's tribal communities1 continue to remain the most nutritionally deprived social groups in the country. It is undeniable that their deprivation is influenced by a cobweb of factors ranging from poverty and hunger, due to loss of forest land and livelihood, poor re-habitation measures, poor reach and quality of essential food and nutrition services during critical periods of life, geographical remoteness. More than half of tribal children under five years of age in India are stunted and fail to meet their potential for growth and development. Child stunting is potentially the biggest threat to children's growth and development. Stunted children have stunted bodies, stunted brains and stunted lives. Present study tries to find out the reasons for high malnutrition among tribal children specially "HO" tribes and strategies to reduce malnutrition from the tribal and local perspectives.
Malnutrition occurs due to poor diet or a lack of food. It happens when the intake of nutrients or energy is too high, too low, or poorly balanced2. Both under nutrition and over nutrition can lead to Malnutrition. Undernutrition can lead to delayed growth or wasting, while a diet that provides too much food, but not necessarily balanced, leads to obesity. Undernutrition mainly results from lack of food. In some cases, however, undernourishment may stem from a health condition, such as an eating disorder or a chronic illness that prevents the person from absorbing nutrients. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), malnutrition is the gravest single threat to global public health4. Globally, it contributes to 45 percent of deaths of children aged under 5 years. Undernutrition severely hammers child survival, growth and development, and it even slows down the national growth in the long run.
Malnutrition involves a dietary deficiency. People may eat too much of the wrong type of food and have malnutrition, but this paper will focus on undernutrition, when a person lacks nutrients because they do not consume enough food. Poor diet may lead to a lack of vitamins, minerals, and other essential substances. Too little protein can lead to kwashiorkor, symptoms of which include a distended abdomen. A lack of vitamin C can result in scurvy. Scurvy is rare in industrialized nations, but it can affect older people, those who consume excessive quantities of alcohol, and people who do not eat fresh fruits and vegetables. Some infants and children who follow a limited diet for any reason may be prone to scurvy. NFHS 4 reports indicate that in India 35.7% under five years children are underweight and 38% under five children are stunted, whereas in Jharkhand 47.8 % of children are malnourished (underweight – weight for age) and 45.3 % children are stunted (Height for age)4. Percentage of underweight children in West Singhbhum District is 66.9 and stunting is 59.4 %, which is quite high as per the national average of 35.7 % and 38% respectively. Malnutrition during childhood can lead not only to long-term health problems but also to educational challenges and limited work opportunities in the future. Malnourished children often have smaller babies when they grow up. It can also leads to slow recovery from wounds and illnesses, and it can complicate diseases such as measles, pneumonia, malaria, and diarrhea. It can leave the body more susceptible to disease.
As per the recent report published by the Unicef "Nourishing India's Tribal Children" – India's tribal communities continue to remain the most nutritionally deprived social groups in the country. It is undeniable that their deprivation is influenced by a cobweb of factors ranging from poverty and hunger due to loss of forest land and livelihood, poor re-habitation measures, poor reach and quality of essential food and nutrition services during critical periods of life, geographical remoteness, weak governance and inadequate accountability mechanisms. Malnourished children are underweight and stunted / wasted or both (Moderate malnutrition. Moderate malnutrition (MM) is defined as a weight-for-age between -3 and -2 z-scores below the median of the WHO child growth standards. It can be due to a low weight-for-height (wasting) or a low height-for-age (stunting) or to a combination of both). More than half of tribal children under five years of age in India are stunted and fail to meet their potential for growth and development. Child stunting is potentially the biggest threat to children's growth and development. Stunted children have stunted bodies, stunted brains and stunted lives. Stunted children are more likely to fall ill, fall behind in class and when they start work, do not perform as well and earn less than their non-stunted peers. Present study tries to find out the reasons for high malnutrition among tribal children and strategies to reduce malnutrition.
The Sample: Sample for the present cross sectional study was collected from two blocks of West Singhbum District, Jharkhand, India covering 97 villages. A sample of 488 'HO' tribal children aged 6 month to 5 years was selected for the present study.
Anthropometric measurements: the anthropometric measurement of height and weight of 'HO' tribal boys and girls were taken. The same investigators collected all the measurements to avoid the observational errors, and for maintaining uniformity and accuracy in techniques. Equinox digital weighing scales with 100g graduations, calibrated regularly were used to measure weight. Infantometers (Seca 210 with 0.5cm graduation) and Stadiometers (Seca213 with 0.01cm graduation) were used to measure heights. The standard WHO definitions for Wasted (WHZ is <-2 SD), Moderately Wasted (WHZ is <-2SD and >-3SD) and Severely Wasted (WHZ is <-3SD) are used. Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) is defined as being severely wasted (WHZ is <-3SD).
Interview questionnaire: Data was collected using a pre tested semi structured Interview scheduled through house to house visit and mothers of infants were interviewed. Since the age group of the study population is 6 month to 5 years, mothers were chosen as the respondent; in some cases if the child's mother was not available father / close relative become respondent. Respondent were asked questions like name, age, their Income status, occupations, feeding practices, cultural norms that they follow, and four specific determinant were asked; occurrence of Illness / disease, care provided to the children during the sickness, food habit, and hygienic practices etc. FGD's were conducted amongst the villagers and village leaders of that particular community and locality to find out common practices and believes taboos and cultural practices followed since ages.
Age estimation: age of the children was ascertained form the mother and child protection card (MCP), provided by the health department and subsequently confirmed by the mothers and Aganwadi workers.
Analysis: Analysis was done using the statistical package SPSS (Version 11) and the "igrowup" macro provided by WHO Anthro. Statistical analyses of the data were performed using the IBM Statistical Program for Social Sciences (SPSS). The z-score values of weight for age (WAZ), height for age (HAZ) and weight for height (WHZ) was computed using the WHO Anthropometric tool. A descriptive analysis was used to compare the socio-economic characteristics, household food security status, child's dietary intake, and caregiver variables between exposed and not exposed. Chi squared test and t-test was used to examine the relationship between childhood malnutrition and study variables.
As per the reports published there are approximately 20 lakh children who are malnourished in the state of Jharkhand. NFHS 4 reports also states that 47.8 % of children are malnourished (underweight) in Jharkhand and 45.3 % children are stunted. Condition is worst in the West Singhbhum District where percentage of underweight children is 66.9 and stunting is 59.4 %, which is quite high as per the national average of 35.7 % and 38% respectively. These figures are quite alarming and raises question on the government mechanism and programs that are run by the government. As per the government records there are 5 Malnutrition Treatment Centre (MTC), 2339 Aganwadi Centers and 307 Mini Aganwadi centers to cater to the Malnutrition and to reduce or control Malnutrition. As per the census 2011 (JH_Factsheet_368_Pashchimi Singhbhum), there are 261493 children below 6 years of age who are basically affected by the Malnutrition. This means approximately 2 Lakh children are malnourished (66.9% source NFHS 4) and more than 30 thousand children are severely malnourished (13% of the children; source NFHS 4) in West Singhbhum District of Jharkhand.
Various studies and reports suggest that malnutrition is condition where a person lacks necessary proteins and vitamins required for the body. Many studies have come up with various suggestion and solutions to overcome malnutrition, this paper also suggests various methods to reduce or overcome malnutrition among the tribal people.
Results from the current study indicate that tribal ("HO") people (Sample size of 488, "HO" Tribes) have different life style, different food habits and different religious and cultural beliefs. People living in West Singhbum District of Jharkhand generally prefer to eat Mard Baat (overnight soaked Rice) with or without vegetable or dal (75%). Study data reveals that very few families prefer to eat chappati / roti (1%) due to various reason (large size of the family, availability of wheat etc.), consumption of dal is very negligible (5%) may be due to its high cost and consumption (Meat / Fish etc) item is rare, surprisingly consumptions of non vegetarian increases to 91% during festivals or when guest are at home. Consumption of seasonal fruits like mango or guvava etc. are on yearly basis. Thus non consumption of vegetable, dal, meat / fish, and fruits in required quantity results in non availability of required nutrition in the body, which results in malnutrition.
Study data shows that tribal parents mainly provided mard baat to their children in breakfast and lunch on daily basis (75%); Fig 1 Fig 2 and Fig 3. Mard baat is generally served without dal, with or without sabji. It may be because cooking dal is time taking and costly. Mard baat is served early in the morning because no any extra preparation time is required for it, as Mard baat (Basi Baat) is prepared by soaking rice in water overnight. In most cases it is served with a piece of onion and chilli or chatni. Mard baat contains only starch and fats. One of the major reason observed for preference of tribal people to prefer mard baat is due to their tight schedule early morning. Tribal person (mainly farmer) has to complete most of the activities early in the morning. In the later part of the day a tribal person is mostly free and takes rest. This is the time tribal women cooks food and prepare it sufficient enough, so that their family can eat early morning also; mainly rice. Government under ICDS program recommend that a child has to be provided Khichdi1 (rice cooked with mixing vegetables and dal), after child attains six month of age and above. Khichdi is a whole meal and it provides sufficient calories and Macronutrients. Khichdi should be promoted among tribal children instead of Mard baat.
Pressure cooker is one of the finest and most useful inventions of the modern days. It is easy to handle and is able to cook many food items quickly while retaining its nutrient value also. Cooking Khichdi is much easier in pressure cooker and it saves time. Pressure Cooker is also useful for cooking Dal. Use of pressure cooker is one of the quickest means cooking foods and it simplifies cooking. Adivasi / Tribal people living in the rural area use fire woods for cooking food, which is time taking and lots of effort has to be taken. Use of pressure cooker can help them save time and effort. A child can be immediately fed with khicdhi, whenever needed with the help of pressure cooker. It is also hygienic and there is no loss of any nutrients. Therefore it is recommended that every villager / tribal people to use pressure cooker. Cooking Dal is also a time consuming when cooked in a conventional way. Some dal take almost an hour.
Current study shows that only 5.3% (Fig 4) of the tribal people have pressure cooker at home. This could be due to its high cost or lack of knowledge in terms of its usefulness. Time taken to cook could be reason for child being not provided khichdi and dal.
Tribal people love to live with pet animals; they always have poultry farm, goat, and fish. Almost every tribal people have all this animals throughout the year. Study data shows that even though tribal people have these animals, they don't eat their meat on regular basis. Thus they don't get valuables nutrients that they can easily get from them. Meats of these animals are generally consumed only during the festivals or when there are visitors at home (Fig – 5). If these animals are consumed as a meat on a regular basis, it can provide valuable nutrients to them. In most cases these animals are sold off to get some extra earnings and in many cases these animals die due to sickness and other reasons, resulting in loss of valuable nutrients. Major reason for not consuming these animals for meat seems to be lack of awareness among tribal's regarding importance of meat and its nutrition value. Therefore it is recommended and suggested that huge awareness drive to be undertake inorder to make tribal people consume meat.
Consumption of fruits among the tribal people is very less or negligible; data shows that only 5% (Fig – 6) of the tribal people consume fruits. Fruits that are available in their garden or in their locality like mango, guvava, bari bari, Papaya, jack fruit etc are being consumed. Many other fruit trees which where earlier available have gone missing due to deforestation. Moreover current generation of tribal people are not planting new trees and few fruit trees whose fruits are not regularly eaten are not at all being planted. There were many fruit trees in earlier days which use to be eaten on occasional basis, have gone missing. Due to poverty and high cost, most of the tribal people can't afford to purchase fruits like apple orange banana and many other fruits which are market driven. Thus non consumption of fruits is leading to lack of valuable nutrient in their body. Even if tribal people could regularly consume fruits available locally they may get required nutrition. This could be mainly because of lack of awareness and knowledge about importance of nutrient available in fruits. Therefore it is needed that these people are made aware of the nutritional value available is these fruits and make them consume fruits on regular basis.
Mother's milk contains valuable nutrients; a child should be provided only mother's milk till 6 month of age and can continue till one to two years. After one year of age mother's milk can be substituted with cow's milk, cow milk also contains valuable nutrients and is rich source of calcium and potassium. Milk is whole food and contains most of the nutrients required for a child. Tribal people mostly use to keep cattle; cows and buffalo at home for milk, manure and for ploughing field. With advent of technology and deforestation, grazing, rearing and keeping these animals are becoming a tough task. Earlier milk use to be consumed on regular basis by tribal people but now since these animals have decreased a lot, therefore availability and consumption of milk has reduced to negligible. Though in some cases it is reported that tribal people don't prefer to have cow milk, considering that the milk is mainly for the calf. Since milk is not being provided to the children or the family members, thus valuable nutrients are missing in their body. Study data shows that consumption of milk among tribal people is only 1% (Fig 7). Interestingly milk is being sold and supplied in every town and, urban people especially children are greatly being benefited.
Therefore it is necessary that cow and buffalo rearing is promoted and deforestation is avoided, so that tribal children are not deprived of milk and milk products which is rich source of valuable nutrients. This can drastically change the malnutrition status of the tribal children.
Tribal people live in village and have ample of land among their surroundings. Every tribal house has little or some land which is sufficient for making a kitchen garden. Kitchen garden plays a very important role in providing vegetables on regular basis and ensures easy availability of vegetables. Waste water from kitchen can be used for watering vegetables and waste food items can be used as manure, thus benefitting from the available waste resources. Most of the tribal people generally cultivate paddy and other cash crops but only few grow vegetables. Vegetable are important source of vitamins, minerals and many micronutrients, it is necessary to eat vegetable on regular basis. Earlier many local green leafy vegetables were available locally and in nearby forest but due to deforestation and change in preference towards local vegetable, local vegetables are not given due importance. Though many researchers had acclaimed that tribal people use to eat locally available green leafy vegetable which were rich in nutrient value and most of the nutrient requirement were used to be fulfilled. Tribal people can still cultivate vegetables in their kitchen garden and get most of the nutrient required for their body without much investment and cost. Currently most of the tribal people don't seems to make kitchen garden even though they have sufficient land for it. This could be mainly because of lack of awareness and knowledge about importance of nutrient available in vegetables. It is needed that tribal people are made aware of the importance of vitamins and minerals for the body and sources of these vitamins and minerals.
It is observed that the children in village generally spend whole day playing in the sand or soil / mud. It is a natural and practical environment for them. Most of them remain naked throughout the day. It's not because parents can't afford cloths but because children are mostly left with their siblings or elder kids in the village, and when the child urinate or defecates; he she remains dirty for long time until his/her parents realize, which can result in other problems. Therefore they prefer to leave their child naked so that these types of issue dosent arise. It is also noticed that children mostly don't wash their hand before eating food, even if children washes hand they tend to touch mud / floor or soil while eating. As a result hand remains dirty and chances of infection remains high, therefore it is recommended that a child should be trained to eat with spoon and also should be fed with spoon to ensure infection control.

Expelled EU Lawmakers Plan to Re-Enter Venezuela via Colombia
Five European lawmakers who were expelled from Venezuela said Monday they would try to re-enter the country via Colombia along with a shipment of humanitarian aid sent by the United States.
The European Parliament members were tossed out of Venezuela with no explanation on Sunday shortly after they arrived in Caracas, according to Spanish MEP Esteban Gonzalez Pons who led the group.
But after he returned to Madrid, Pons said he received a phone call from Colombia's foreign minister inviting the five to go to his country on Saturday.
"We have accepted the invitation and... we are going to try to cross over with rations and medicine from Cucuta," Pons told reporters in Madrid, referring to the Colombian border city where U.S. humanitarian aid is being stockpiled for planned delivery to Venezuela.
The expulsion of the lawmakers is the latest point of tension between the international community and Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, who is in the grip of a power struggle with opposition leader Juan Guaido, the head of the National Assembly who proclaimed himself interim president last month.
Pons said the five had been invited by Guaido to visit Venezuela. The delegation included two other Spanish lawmakers as well as one each from Portugal and the Netherlands.
Writing on Twitter, Guaido said the MEPs had been "deported by an isolated and increasingly irrational regime."

I've got a Fortigate30E-3G4G with a single FAP-221C connected.
I've purchased a second FAP-221C, and while it's being discovered in the "Managed FortiAPs" screen of the GUI, I can't authorize it.
From the cut sheets of the Fortigate 30E, it says the maximum number of FortiAPs is 2, although in the firmware it shows 1/1 Total FortiAPs. This doesn't seem right. Any insights?
Have confirmed from the Max values table (both 6.0 and 5.6) that the 30E supports 2 APs.
See if that gives you any error message.
Also check to see there is only have one AP listed in that section - if there is already two entires there, the fgt may not allow you to add another AP even if only one physical AP is connected.
Just to confirm, it's not a FortiWifi 30E-3G4G? That would only support one FortiAP.
This means FWF can manage two Forti APs. One directly Connected FAP & one Remotely managed FAP.


Discipleship is the call of the Church (Matt. 28.19), but is the Church really doing this job well? Can we honestly say that at least the majority of those who claim the name of Christ and darken the doors of our churches are intentionally in discipleship relationships that are moving them toward greater and greater Christlikeness? Yesterday I read Building a Discipling Culture by Mike Breen, and I was impacted by a number of insights on how churches could be doing a better at this all-important task.
We must commit to relationships of challenge and invitation. Relationships that are all about challenge and lack invitation will spiral towards legalism and burnout. Relationships that are all about invitation without any challenge will lead to warm and fuzzy friendships without any meaningful accountability. Many churches today lack both challenge and invitation; they've become little more than a social event. Meaningful discipleship requires direct confrontation over sin, and loving invitation into real-life Gospel living.
A Caveat: Assuming that showing up at church or in a small group will count as "immersion" is assuming that the majority of the people in the church or small group have been discipled themselves. I think this assumption is unwarranted. I know a number of adult believers who have never been engaged in a discipleship relationship.
An Expectation: Apprenticeship is a substantial investment for both parties. But in this process, the rewards are always greater than the buy-in.
A Warning: Apprenticeship and immersion aren't synonymous with cloning. We're not trying to make a bunch of people like ourselves, we're trying to make disciples of Jesus Christ!
We must admit that the current structures that we're relying on for discipleship are fundamentally broken. Most churches I've served in have relied on a Sunday School or small group structure for engaging people in the discipleship process. But there are a number of reasons why this structure (as typically implemented) may not be the best method for discipling believers.
Small groups are (and should be) open to visitors. This limits the intimacy and openness of dialogue amongst the members. Baring our souls is often a very difficult task. This only becomes more difficult with a number of strangers in the room.
Small groups grow in a linear fashion. As months go by, people come and go based on their church attendance. They lack a stability in membership and can grow too large. They also lack a natural step for members to go and make disciples on their own. This inhibition is due to their linear nature.
Small groups require facilitators or teachers. This kind of relationship lacks the authoritative and intimate "follow me as I follow Christ" kind of call of discipleship.
Small groups are primarily easy to join and easy to leave. They aren't effective accountability structures. Attendance isn't often an expectation to which people are held.
Small groups often rely on administrated content. In other words, they're going to cover what someone on the church staff thinks the groups need to be studying. This sometimes misses the challenges and hurdles that the members of the group may be experiencing.
We have to adopt a sound structure for doing discipleship. One such structure is what Breen calls "The Huddle" (oddly, the same name of the odd band of misfits being discipled that I was a part of in junior high). This group is made up of 4-10 people who have committed to a mentoring relationship under one individual. This group commits for roughly a year, at which point they should be prepared to start "Huddles" of their own. More people aren't discipled by making the groups bigger, but by individuals preparing to replicate the groups in turn. First-time leaders can start with groups of 4 in order to make the challenge less daunting. This vehicle for discipleship is powerful because it combines a two critical components of biblical discipleship.
First, it is an admission that discipleship happens best in a group scenario. Many churches do discipleship whenever a new believer comes along or one-on-one with people in a counseling environment. But this avoids the power of group learning that is evident in the ministry of Jesus with his disciples.
Second, it is admission that the plausible scope of discipleship is limited. While Jesus ministered to crowds, significant portions of his ministry were invested in his band of 12.
We must call our people to allow greater access for their brothers and sisters into their lives. Only by allowing people into our lives in a more intimate way will we be able to achieve the kind of discipleship that God has called us to. Leaders tend to sit back and complain that church members aren't rising to meet the challenge, but this kind of critique is unhealthy for the body. Rather, servant-leaders must begin by modeling the kind of discipleship that they want to instill in others. Leaders who get out of the air-conditioned office and into the dirtiness of a handful of peoples' lives and then call on them them to do the same.
First, discipleship language needs to be memorable. Using word pictures (or pictures in general) can communicate biblical truth in a discipleship context far better than a massive and detailed curriculum.
Second, discipleship language needs to be fully-orbed. In other words, many churches are really good at teaching doctrines or Bible study, but few do a great job at discipling others in a holistic Christian life (which includes doctrine and Bible study, but so much more as well).
Third, discipleship language needs to promote discussion and engagement. However you do discipleship, it needs to be more than you just sitting back and talking. It needs to be something that others can relate to and engage with applications and questions.
May 17, 2013 — Antwerp, Belgium.
The night before, I had made a drive from Denmark down to Belgium. We arrived after dark and I was exhausted. So I crashed and set my alarm so I could see the one major attraction of the city — The Our Lady Cathedral. This impressive building started construction in the 14th century and stands as the tallest cathedral in the Low Countries of Europe. Needless to say, I couldn't wait. But I only had about an hour to find the cathedral because I had a client meeting scheduled in the morning. I didn't have a good map, but I had a general idea of where I needed to go. After all, how hard could it be to find a massive cathedral?
Upon leaving my hotel, I headed into the old city. The odd confluence of old buildings (some with scarring from World War II still visible) and new high-end fashion stores and American businesses seemed jarring. But where was the cathedral? It was supposed to be around here somewhere; however, the heights of the buildings made it difficult to see the skyline, and the non-linear streets made it impossible for me to keep my bearings.
I was about to abandon my search due to the time when a glance down a side street made my morning. I saw the tower of a cathedral! The street was rather small and only a few passersby gave it any momentary thought. I stood for a moment and captured a few pictures. The discovery complete, I knew that I'd have to make good time on the return to the hotel. As I rounded the corner, I felt that my trip had been successful.
Don't miss the wonders that God has for you because you've become distracted by the commonplace.

Many studies have examined quantitative customer reviews (i.e., star ratings) and found them to be a reliable source of information that has a positive effect on product demand. Yet the effect of qualitative customer reviews (i.e., text reviews) on demand has been less thoroughly studied, and it is not known whether (or how) the sentiment expressed in text reviews moderates the influence of star ratings on product demand. We are therefore led to examine how the interplay between review sentiment and star ratings affects product demand. Consumer perceptions of product quality—and how they are shared via customer reviews—are of extreme relevance to the firm, but we still do not understand how product demand is affected by the quantitative and qualitative aspects of customer reviews. Our paper seeks to fill this critical gap in the literature by analyzing star ratings, the sentiment of customer reviews, and their interaction. Using 2002–2013 data for the US automobile market, we investigate empirically the impact of star ratings and review sentiment on product demand. Thus we estimate an aggregated multinomial choice model after performing a machine learning–based sentiment analysis on the entire corpus of customer reviews included in our sample. We find that (i) review sentiment and star ratings both have a decreasingly positive effect on product demand and (ii) the effect (on demand) of their interaction suggests that the two components of reviews are complements. Positive sentiments in text reviews compensate for the tendency of consumers to discount extremely high star ratings, and negative sentiments amplify that discounting tendency. The firm should pay greater attention to quantitative and qualitative customer reviews so that it can better understand how consumers perceive the quality of its products or services.

You know him as NPR's television critic, but as a young man, Eric Deggans was a drummer in a band out of Indiana University, and Prince was his icon. Deggans calls Prince's semi-autobiographical film Purple Rain and its soundtrack a "uniquely multicultural, genre-bending, sex-drenched form of funky sonic genius." Deggans joins host Jenn White to talk about what he loves about Prince's music and style. We also take calls from listeners with their stories of the impact Prince had on their lives.

But DO we know better now? In this talk, we will find the answer to that question. When we scour our historical basement to see what we've learned from past barbarities we find that it's not very pretty. In the first chapter of this talk, we we observe some of the most deadly crimes against humanity to understand the depth and breadth of the problem of human violence.
In the second chapter, we will study 10 different socio-cultural patterns that tie these atrocities together, identifying their collective power to transform ordinary people into compliant mobs.
Third, I will respond to the claims of Steven Pinker who argues that violence is declining. His theory is well argued, in many ways, but suffers from grave mistakes that leave his theory ultimately indefensible.
In the four and final chapter of this presentation I discuss how not only are we prone to forget the lessons of the past, but we readily excuse even deadlier things operating institutionally today. Indeed the most deadly crime against humanity is still happening right under our noses, a holocaust almost 10x's deadlier than the Nazi holocaust of WWII.


Doug Hamp and Chris Steinle co-authored the book Reclaiming the Rapture: Restoring the Doctrine of the Gathering of the Commonwealth of Israel. Hamp recently had Steinle on his video program as shown below. In attempt to disprove pretribulationism, Steinle has committed important lexical errors himself in Paul's rapture passage, including other aspects of straining Paul's passage in 1 Thessalonians. I want to comment on Steinle mishandling of the Greek lexical data in a series on my The Biblical Prophecy Program. I do not know how many episodes this will take, but I will ask Doug Hamp after I am finished responding if he would be willing to have me on his program to distill my response to Steinle. Hamp and I have intended to connect in the past, so maybe this will be an opportunity to join him on his show. He is a sharp biblical thinker, which I appreciate, even though I disagree with him on various points. In the meantime, watch the interview below, so you can be prepared for my series responding to Steinle statements.


Electronic payment systems are an important part of the electronic commerce infrastructure. However, like the conventional systems, they are also prone to the risk of fraudulent payments that impose financial losses on the participants. Therefore, it is important that the losses are fairly and properly allocated between the parties, to enable them to receive benefit from the systems.
In so far as the consumer and the electronic payment issuer are concerned, the losses are commonly allocated through the terms of their contract. Since contractual loss allocation may prejudice the consumer, loss allocation rules were introduced to supplement the process of allocating the losses between them. These specifically drafted loss allocation rules are influenced by the loss allocation principles, and employ a combination of liability rules including the capped liability rule, and/or fraud-based rule and/or negligence-based rules. Apart from that, the loss allocation regimes also employ the rules governing the use of an exclusion clause or unfair contract terms to protect the consumer against unfair contractual loss allocation.
It should be noted that although the loss allocation models are identical, yet their detailed rules vary from one jurisdiction to the next. Despite the differences, they share a common aim, i.e., to prescribe the rights and liabilities of the parties in relation to the losses. In particular, they provide protection to the consumer against unfair loss allocation.
The success of the different loss allocation regimes in achieving the said objectives, in view of the different stature of the consumer and the issuer in terms of their knowledge and financial ability, depends, among others things on the clarity and the practicality of the rules and also the ability of the rules to induce the parties' precautionary action. More importantly, a perfect loss allocation scheme must be comprehensive, in the sense that there should not be any room left for the issuer to manoeuvre around its rules to unfairly use its contract terms to allocate the losses to the consumer. Failure of the rules to have these characteristics affects the protection of the consumer against fraudulent payment losses, hence the need for review and reform.

Erasmus and Kolisi scoop top awards
Just a little more than a year after they spearheaded South Africa's third triumph at the Rugby World Cup in Japan, Rassie Erasmus and Siya Kolisi walked away with another set of awards on Thursday morning.
SA Rugby's Director of Rugby and the Springbok captain Both were honoured at the Hollard Sports Industry Awards for 2020, which was staged digitally this year. The presentation takes place annually to celebrate achieving personalities and businesses in the South African sports industry.
Erasmus, SA Rugby's Director of Rugby was presented with the Leadership in Sport Business Award, while Springbok captain, Kolisi was honoured with the Sport Industry Personality of the Year accolade.
Francois Pienaar, the 1995 Springbok RWC-winning captain, presented Erasmus with his award, who described the tribute as both a big surprise and a great honour.
"I appreciate the award and the acknowledgement and I want to say thanks to everyone involved in staging the awards," said Erasmus, who went on to thank the Springboks players, management staff and SA Rugby personnel who are working with the Springboks.
The Springboks have not been in action at all this year due to the Covid-19 pandemic, and Pienaar asked Erasmus what was in store for 2021.
Erasmus replied: "Our planning is in place and we are looking good for next year's British & Irish Lions tour. Our big challenge at the moment is that we want to transform that (RWC-winning) happiness into real hope and to do that we have to keep on winning as a team."
Kolisi received his award from last year's winner, Annelee Murray, who is the long-serving Springbok PR Manager.
"This award is really a team award, an acknowledgement of the good work done by everyone involved with the Springboks, from the coaches and players to the medical staff and the rest of the management," said Kolisi.
Asked about the prospects of facing the British & Irish Lions next year in the Springbok jersey, the Bok captained said: "We are all very excited about the tour and we want to prepare as hard as we can to be ready for what promised to be a fantastic Test series."
According to the awards organisers, 2020 may have been a year to forget for the South African sports industry, but it was still preceded by some ground-breaking innovation and creativity towards the end of 2019, and the response to the Covid-19 crisis has been nothing short of inspiring.
Michael Johnson, the former multiple Olympic gold medallist and 200m and 400m world record holder, delivered the keynote address.

Cable Guys in Demand
As the number of private satellite TV stations has increased in Ethiopia, the services of cable guys has also registered a rise. Despite the simplicity of installing some satellite TV stations, people still opt to pay an increasing service fee for cable guys, reports, TSGAB BIRHANE, FORTUNE STAFF WRITER.
The price range to maintain one satellite dish is from 150-200 Br.
Tariku Tezera, 22, was sitting at Gojam Berenda in search of people wanting to install satellite dishes. Gojam Berenda is where many satellite dish shops are found in Addis Abeba. He started the job five years ago as an assistant of other satellite TV installers. When Fortune met him, he had already installed two satellite dishes – his daily average work load.
In the year 2016, five private TV channels started broadcasting to Ethiopian audiences.
"Despite the increase in the number channels, the business is as usual for me," Tariku told Fortune. "The price remains constant, because new people have joined the business rapidly and the coming of Nile Sat makes it easier to search and install TV stations – even the children and the students are very fast at maintaining and searching based on the installation manual."
He went on to further describe the sector.
"The price range to maintain one satellite dish is from 150-200 Br and there is no need to have taken any kind of training or education in satellite dish installation," Tariku said, underscoring that a satellite dish installer must know current digital satellite TV systems, price and equipment.
For Tariku, experience is more important than schooling when it comes to working as a cable guy. Unlike Tariku, however, Asmamaw Kebede, a fellow cable guy, argues that the coming of new Ethiopian channels has brought with it new job opportunities with the installation of satellite TV stations.
The cable guy determines where the satellite dish should be placed and connects the TV set with the receiver to receive signals to the subscriber.
"Satellite dish installation job is very interesting because it pays well and does not consume much time," Asmamaw said. "We have to provide proper connection with the receiver box and the receiver box translates the satellite signal."
"A satellite dish is just a special kind of antenna designed to focus on a specific broadcast source," according to Asmamaw. "When the signal is captured by the satellite, it will reach the subscriber through their TV sets."
Six years ago, the only privately owned satellite television was the Ethiopian Broadcasting Service (EBS), which broadcasts its programmes from the United States. It started televising different programmes through correspondents in Ethiopia. EBS obtained the frequency for transmitting from Nile Sat. Among the new channels that started broadcasting last year is Kana. Kana television airs translated movies from the Middle East and other countries.
Currently in Ethiopia, there are eight analogue terrestrial and ten satellite channels. Ethiopia's annual import of satellite dishes and appliances is roughly around 700,000, costing close to eight million birr.
Asmamaw started satellite dish installation seven years ago.
"Satellite dish installation price ranges from 200-300 Br for Nile Sat and 400 Br for football channels, but sometimes it depends on my customers," Asmamaw said. "I have many contacts and sometimes I get as many as five calls a day for installation work."
The price of dishes at Merkato varies from 1,100-3,000 Br.
"The future is bright for satellite dish installers, because privately owned satellite TV channels have rekindled people's interest in satellite TV once more," according to Asmamaw.
In addition to the new TV stations popular with TV watchers, the winding down of summer has boosted the demand for cable guys in town.
"Satellite dish installation is highly demanded in the summer season," Asmamaw states, owing to the fact that summer season for most students is a yearly break from school and they have a lot of time to watch TV.
Comparatively speaking, the current price of dish installation and maintenance has increased rapidly. Abreham Tsegaye, a 30-year old-teacher who lives in Addis Abeba, attests to the rise in what cable guys are charging for their services.
"The satellite dish installation price increased when the new satellite TV channels started with new styles and programmes," Abreham said. "Kana is an amazing channel for me and I am interested to watch the series of dramas aired on the station."
The price of satellite dish is higher than last year, according Abreham's judgement.
"I had installed my satellite dish before two years and it cost 100 Br for the installation, but now it costs up to 400 Br," Abreham states.
Gurumie Beyene, a cable guy with five years' experience, also agrees with the price hike.
"Comparatively speaking, the price of satellite dish installation is 50 Br higher than last year's price," Gurumie said. "Currently, the demand for satellite dish installation has increased because of the new satellite TV channels and with people's demand to access football channels."
Degefu Dendir owns a small cafe in Addis Abeba, around Addisu Gebeya. There is a flat 32-inch TV screen in the small cafe. Most of the time, customers ask the waitress if they can watch one of the recently launched satellite TV stations.
"Many customers have bought satellite dishes to watch the translated series dramas and other shows on satellite TV," Abreham added.
"Some technical and vocational schools in the capital have been giving courses on satellite dish installation," Gurumie told Fortune.
Gurumie, however, did not take any courses on satellite dish installation and maintenance. He gained the experience from his friends. While experience and speed of executing the job is important, the "price of satellite dish maintenance depends on the agreement of the customers and the installers," Gurumie added.
Mebrahtu Yohanes, who lives around Jomo, at the southern end of the city, studied Information Technology at Meqelle University and graduated in 2013. He wants to get a short training course in satellite dish installation and maintenance, so he can join the business.
"I want to join the business because I think the future is bright for satellite TV channels and for the dish installation business," Mebrahtu said. "I see a lack of professionals in the dish installation business in Ethiopia and I want to be a professional installer and entrepreneur in the field."
Satellite dish installation does not have professional requirements and quality assurance. Many satellite dish installers post a small advertising paper inside the minibus taxis in Addis Abeba or on the walls of condominiums and electric poles.
"Anyone interested in working as a cable guy does not need to have huge capital to join the satellite dish installation and maintenance business," says Gurumie. "Business people who have experience in satellite dish installation can join easily."

"End Gerrymandering Now!" reads the sign held by Joanne Kim of Washington, D.C. Protesters gathered outside the U.S. Supreme Court building on Oct. 3. Photo by Jeff Malet.
Arnold Schwarzenegger called on the Supreme Court to "terminate" gerrymandering. He was among the hundreds of protesters for fair elections gathered outside the U.S. Supreme Court building as the court heard arguments about partisan gerrymandering on Tuesday, Oct. 3.
The legal scholars and voting-rights activists who brought the case, Gill v. Whitford, have asserted that Wisconsin's state senate and assembly district maps were rigged by Gov. Scott Walker's political allies to lock in the majorities they gained in the 2010 election. Republicans gerrymandered legislative district lines so aggressively that in the next election, even though Wisconsin Democrats won 174,000 more votes than Republicans in races for state assembly seats, Republicans won a 60-39 majority in the chamber.
The decision will be far-reaching. In addition to Wisconsin, traditional battlegrounds such as Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Florida and Virginia were among those with significant Republican advantages in their national or state races. In the 2016 election, 46 percent of North Carolina voters cast their ballots for Democrats, yet only 24 percent ended up with Democratic congressmen.
Analysts suggest that Justice Anthony Kennedy may provide the critical swing vote of the divided court to determine whether political gerrymanders cross a constitutional line.

Tear gas, neoliberalism, and #PatientsIncluded — will it blend?
The tear gas
I traveled to Santiago, Chile recently. My timing was auspicious, since my news-puke bingo card still had an open slot preventing me from screaming BINGO at the top of my lungs. That open square was "get tear gassed" — it got filled at around 11am Atlantic Time on Monday, October 21, as tear gas rolled down Avenida Libertador General Bernardo O'Higgins, called La Alameda by locals. It's really hard to scream BINGO at the top of your lungs while getting tear gassed, by the way. In case you wondered.
I was in Chile to attend and speak at the annual Cochrane Colloquium, a global meeting for health researchers, science geeks, and health policy nerds from all over ever'where, to share the experience of being part of the first #PatientsIncluded Cochrane Colloquium in Edinburgh last year. The conference was scheduled to start on Tuesday, October 22.
On Thursday, October 17, Chilean citizens — who have had to put up with A LOT over the last sixty or so years — got fed up with ever increasing costs of living and took to the streets to protest a subway fare hike, led by high school students who jumped turnstiles to evade paying the new fare.

EVADE become the mantra of the protest, which kept growing over the next couple of days, with some seriously crunchy stuff happening — a Walmart in Valparaiso got burned down, and a Santiago office tower occupied by an energy company burned, too. All of this was ramping up as I traveled from the US to Chile on Saturday into Sunday, October 19 and October 20, so when I got to Santiago on Sunday morning, there was already a curfew on tap, and a whole lot of military dudes in camo and battle gear wandering around the streets toting assault rifles.
I checked into my hotel downtown, and spent a little time looking around the neighborhood. Everything — restaurants, cafes, stores — was closed, except for a few mini-marts around the corner, which had folks lined up to buy groceries at each one. I joined one of the lines, and bought some stuff for dinner in my hotel room.
Meanwhile, my email inbox was stacking up with traffic about the coming Cochrane conference, and whether or not it was actually going to happen, given the rising tide of rage in the streets across the country. On Sunday mid-day, Cochrane decided to cancel the event, "[d]ue to the worsening situation of civil unrest across the city of Santiago."
Which brings me to Monday, and my news-puke BINGO! moment. In a fruitless search for an ATM or casa de cambio (currency exchange) downtown, I wandered a widening circle around my hotel, winding up on La Alameda around the time that protests were set to kick off around 11am, and getting my snoutful of tear gas. I had dressed for cool-morning-then-warming weather, so I had a shirt that I'd taken off as the temperature rose on my pasear — I wrapped that around my face, and moved away from the rolling miasma of 2- chlorobenzaldene malononitrile (CS), aka tear gas.
As a former news-puke type human who has also studied history, along with living some of it directly, getting tear gassed in Chile was … kinda perfect. I grew up in a military family — US Navy, to be precise — with a dad who was not just a Top Gun (fo' realsies) fighter pilot, but also an historian and political economist. I spent my childhood through young adulthood surrounded by history books, foreign policy journals, military briefs (declassified, of course), and at least three metropolitan dailies delivered to our door. And that was just dad — mom was Science Girl, so there was also scientific reading of all sorts available throughout the house. So of course I wound up in the news business.
My dad was always happy to talk to me about global events, and emerging history — also called "the news." The only rule was whatever was discussed in the house, stayed in the house. His military gig, and rank, meant he had all sorts of information and knowledge. That my coming of age happened in the late 1960s through the 1970s means that he and I had all kinds of deep, crunchy conversations about everything from the Vietnam War (dad was not a fan) to Watergate (he was not a Nixon fan) to economic issues like the oil crunch (did I mention that political economy thing? He wound up with a Masters from University College, Dublin).
I learned a lot, including how to apply critical thinking, from dad. And the Jesuits — I grew up in a Catholic family, so Jesuits were always a risk — got in there, too, since they're considered the intelligentsia of <snark font> Holy Mother Church Universal and Triumphant </snark font>, and I attended a Jesuit university.
So that's the tear gas part — and a whole lot of backstory.
The neoliberalism
Neoliberalism is an ideology and policy model that emphasizes the value of free market competition. It first appeared as a word/concept around the turn of the 20th century, when all sorts of intellectual fist fights were going on over "communism or nah?" and "capitalism or nah?" I'm not going to go into a whole history of classical liberalism — short snort definition is "political philosophy and ideology in which primary emphasis is placed on securing the freedom of the individual by limiting the power of the government."
Confused yet? I swear I'll stop with the definitions now.
Neoliberalism became the very favorite thing of Milton Friedman, a University of Chicago economics guy who became the father (figuratively) of the Chicago Boys, a group of Chilean economists who wound up influencing Chilean monetary and economic policy under the Pinochet dictatorship, which was in power 1973–1990. Pinochet was a charming little despot, who led a military coup to overthrow the elected president of Chile, Salvador Allende, with the support of the Nixon Administration.
Chile became a proving ground, a laboratory, for neoliberalism as an economic and political theory put into practice. If that whole "free market competition" thing in the definition makes you think of Ronnie Reagan and Maggie Thatcher, you're not hallucinating. They were neoliberals, dedicated to proving that free markets solve everything. Got a societal or economic problem? Free markets will solve it! Lower taxes, stop making so many rules (aka "regulations" or "laws"), just let a free market fix everything!
Which is great if you already have a little money, or even a job that pays a living wage. If you don't have either of those — sorry, loser! "Free market" for you will mean you'll be free to pay the market price for, or just do without. Neoliberalism is all about freeing up capital by lowering taxes on people with high incomes, or with big investment portfolios. If you've noticed that many countries, including the US, have been dealing with rising income and economic inequity, you can lay that at the door of neoliberal economic practice.
So the folks in Chile who are burning down Walmart and setting fire to energy company office towers have a point. They're mad as hell, and they're not going to take this <neoliberal bullshit> any more.

As an official old, I've been around to see the impact of neoliberalism on global politics and global development. "Free market" thinking has mostly wound up putting what both capitalism and communism call "the means of production" — the stuff that makes the stuff that gets sold in/on the markets — in the hands of an ever-shrinking number of people and organizations. Neoliberalism, as a 20th century political philosophy, was brought into being by folks like the all-American Koch family who, after working with Stalin and Hitler in the early days of both Stalinist USSR and Nazi Germany, put their finely tuned libertarian-now-called-neoliberal political POV to work in the US.
They promoted anti-communism by buddying up with the John Birch Society, and started a "Freedom School" in Colorado Springs to promote their Ayn-Randian/rugged individualism/every man (and it's really always men) for himself philosophy. They birthed the American hard right. If you want the whole story in almost excruciating, but very well written, detail, read "Dark Money: The Hidden History of the Billionaires Behind the Rise of the Radical Right" by Jane Mayer. Buy a bottle of bourbon to drink while you read it — you'll thank me for suggesting that.
Back to Chile and neoliberalism. The "Chile miracle" — where Chile sported the most vibrant economy in South America — was seeded by democracy under Allende, not by Pinochet, although Pinochet kept getting the credit. Here's a good explainer on that by Heraldo Muñoz, "Is Augusto Pinochet responsible for Chile's success?" [spoiler: nope]
So that's A WHOLE LOT — a mile wide and about a millimeter deep — about neoliberalism.
HTF does #PatientsIncluded come in here?
I'm SO glad you asked!
One of the reasons the folks in Chile are in the streets is that the government is trying to fully privatize the Chilean healthcare system. As an American, I can testify to what a totally shitty idea that is.
Rather than just me banging on about this, here's the summary points from an article on PLOS Medicine, "Chile's Neoliberal Health Reform: An Assessment and a Critique" (published in 2008):
The Chilean health system underwent a drastic neoliberal reform in the 1980s, with the creation of a dual system: public and private health insurance and public and private provision of health services.
This reform served as a model for later World Bank–inspired reforms in countries like Colombia.
The private part of the Chilean health system, including private insurers and private providers, is highly inefficient and has decreased solidarity between rich and poor, sick and healthy, and young and old.
In spite of serious underfinancing during the Pinochet years, the public health component remains the backbone of the system and is responsible for the good health status of the Chilean population.
The Chilean health reform has lessons for other countries in Latin America and elsewhere: privatisation of health insurance services may not have the expected results according to neoliberal doctrine. On the contrary, it may increase unfairness in financing and inequitable access to quality care. [emphasis mine]
That I traveled to Chile to speak about #PatientsIncluded at a global health research and policy conference, as the citizens of that country said AH HELL NAH to being the policy version of a bunch of lab rats in the neoliberalism experiment, is some delicious irony. And why I actually kind of enjoyed being tear gassed on La Alameda — as an American, I know my own country is on the wrong side of "you break it, you bought it" in Chile. We broke this. So we own it. I learned that from my dad, in our long discussions of world politics over decades.
One of the chants I heard on the streets in Santiago was "no son unos 30 pesos, son unos 30 años" — "it's not about 30 pesos, it's about 30 years." The ghost of Augusto Pinochet, who was finally deposed in 1990 after 17 years of torturing, disappearing, and murdering his own citizens, still haunts, perhaps even rules, in Chile in 2019. March 11, 2020 is the 30 year mark since Pinochet got drop kicked from office. Chileans are still recovering from Pinochet Syndrome, along with the rest of the world that got jiggy with neoliberalism, thinking that unrestrained free markets would be just awesome.
Participatory medicine is a core principle in #PatientsIncluded. Participatory democracy — individual participation by citizens in political decisions and policies that affect their lives, often directly rather than through elected representatives — is #CitizensIncluded. Simply putting "the grownups" — doctors, in the case of medicine; elected officials, in the case of democratic government — 100% in charge is a bad idea, since patriarchal or dictatorial bullshit can ensue.
Putting any other "grownups" — folks with lotsa money and/or power, in either medicine or civil government — in charge delivers plutocracy.
We all need to be grownups. Which is why #PatientsIncluded came into being in medicine — let patients help build systems, and policies, that work for everyone — and why participatory democracy, which sometimes comes in the form of people taking to the streets to say …
… is a hallmark of people standing up for their rights as human beings, and as citizens.
So … tear gas, neoliberalism, and #PatientsIncluded — will it blend?
It will, because all humans deserve to be provided with the basics of a dignified life, which include shelter, water, food, education, meaningful work for which they are paid a fair wage, and a voice in the circumstances of their lives, the lives of their families, and of their community.
They'll face tear gas to tear down neoliberal bullshit, and the inequity it breeds, and demand to be included in building a world where human dignity and human rights are the prime directive.

If one gets something superior, he naturally gives up all inferior things.
that we have become addicted to material enjoyment.
There must be enjoyment in connection with the Supreme Person (purusah sa parah), whom we can see face to face.
In the spiritual sky we are able to speak personally with God, play with Him, eat with Him, etc.
All of this can be attained by bhaktya--transcendental loving service.
that is to say, we must love God without expecting material remuneration.
Loving God to become one with Him is also a form of adulteration.
that in the spiritual sky the head or leader of the spiritual planets has no rival.
plenary expansion of Sri Krsna.
The Supreme Lord and His multifarious manifestations preside over all the Vaikuntha planets.
but in the spiritual sky everyone acknowledges the Supreme Personality of Godhead to be supreme.
which is just like a prison house.
so the material universe is a prison for the conditioned souls.
just as a prison is not outside of the city.
In Srimad-Bhagavatam we are informed that their bodily features are exactly like God's.
On some of these planets God is manifested with two arms, and on others He has four.
and it is said that one cannot distinguish between them and the Supreme Person.
In the spiritual world there are five kinds of liberation.
Sayujya-mukti is a form of liberation in which one merges into the impersonal existence of the Supreme Lord, called Brahman.
Another is salokya-mukti, by which one can live in the same planet with God.
just like Arjuna, who is always with Krsna as His friend.
the sayujya-mukti,merging with the impersonal aspect, is not accepted by Vaisnava devotees.
individuality and merge into the existence of the Supreme.
This merging is recommended neither by Sri Krsna in Bhagavad-gita nor by the disciplic succession of Vaisnava philosophers.
nor do I want any number of followers.
What I want only is that I may have Your causeless devotional service in my life, birth after birth."
Here Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu refers to "birth after birth."
When there is birth after birth, there is no liberation.
in either case, there is no question of rebirth into the material world.
His only concern is to be engaged in Krsna consciousness, to serve the Supreme Lord.
he only prays to God that he not forget Him and that he always be able to engage in His transcendental service.
These are symptoms of pure devotion.
even while in this material body.
But he does not demand anything from God for his own personal elevation or comfort.

Taking a cue from other actors of her generation like Ryan Gosling, James Franco and Joel Edgerton, Academy Award-winning actress Natalie Portman is taking to the director's chair for the upcoming drama, "A Tale of Love and Darkness." Portman also stars in the film.
Based on Amos Oz's novel of the same, the drama recounts the author's memories of growing up in Jerusalem with his academic father, Arieh, and his imaginative mother, Fania (Portman). While moving to Palestine from Europe in order to escape persecution, the terrors of war take their toll on the family, particularly Fania as she entertains her son with dreamy adventure stories to distract him from their bleak reality.
A clip was released just ahead of the movie's Cannes premiere, and now the official trailer has found its way online. Although without English subtitles, the striking cinematography from "Black Hawk Down" DP Slawomir Idzia makes quite an impression.
No U.S. release date for the film has been set yet.
